LOL: Alliance Intelligence King

"Anivia has gone back to the bottom lane, and we have lane control."

Seeing Alistar emerge from the tri-bush, Meiko pinged him, "We can initiate the dragon fight. Renekton has teleported back to top lane. It looks like they're planning to give up on this dragon and focus all their efforts on breaking through the top side of the map."

In the 5-minute match, even with the top laner not participating in the head-on 4v4, EDG's more complete control chain still gave them the advantage.

Moreover, Snake sacrificed the early laning advantage that Tristana had built up for this top lane push, allowing Sivir to overtake them in CS.

Snake's playstyle, which focuses on the front while neglecting the rear, is very much in line with their style.

"Tianye, you set up vision first. I'll get the blue buff for Lulu and then head down. We're determined to get this dragon," Mingkai's voice rang out.

When the second blue buff spawns, mid laners in a meta where mana regeneration items are scarce must consume the blue buff to survive.

Meiko gave Deft a word of advice, then turned and walked towards the river, intending to place a True Sight Ward at the red team's river pass to clear Snake's vision.

Meiko was in a good mood.

He used his superior lane control to establish vision control in advance, taking the initiative, and they were determined to win this dragon.

"Snake handled the early game well," Abu had initially had high hopes for Snake, but seeing that the opponent lacked vision, he couldn't help but shake his head. "If they can't take the first dragon, this game is over. A 600 gold advantage isn't enough."

This scene was captured by the ward that Snake's Alistar had placed beforehand.

Evil Crystal smirked and immediately pinned a signal to Deft's head. Ella understood immediately and used Alistar to backstep.

Deft retreated very disciplinedly.

Just as Meiko stepped into the river, Tristana leaped up and landed face-to-face with Deft, who had just retreated. Without giving him any time to react, Tristana slowed him down, applied E, and then used Q to spray water all over Sivir's face.

Don't skimp on your skills!

Ella's Alistar quickly turned around, used W to knock up a minion, and then flashed.

What about Q?

Where is your huge Q Flash?

Deft instinctively thought Alistar would use WQ Flash, so he decisively pressed his E skill to try and block the opponent's fatal control. However, Alistar stood upright in front of him as if he had made a mistake.

The blue halo surrounding Wheel Mom now looked red and was placed on the alpaca's nose.

"Help! Help! Where are my teammates?"

Deft dared not be careless, and used Heal and Flash almost simultaneously to quickly create distance from Alistar and avoid being knocked up.

Ella ignored Deft's actions, and Alistar continued to push forward, forcing Deft to retreat.

Crystal chuckled, but didn't continue the chase. Instead, he turned around and blocked Meiko's position, preventing him from getting back to help.

"West eight! They have a view from here!"

Deft frantically pinged signals in the river, watching helplessly as the minion wave fell into the hands of the Snake duo once again. He felt utterly defeated.

He'd been tricked!

They were clearly in a superior position, so it was perfectly normal for the support to take the opportunity to provide vision.

When Snake needs to place vision, they will try to place it in front of the Dragon pit, rather than at the intersection of the bottom lane and the bottom river. This is a basic common sense in the game.

This ward is for preventing ganks.

When was it plugged in?

When Snake clearly knew the location of the barrel, there was no need to prevent ganks, so placing this ward here would be a complete waste. But... the opponent actually placed it here.

Are they betting on Meiko's move?

Or did Snake learn Meiko's tactical habits?

Deft is unsure.

If it's a gamble, every ward placed by the bot lane duo in the early game is crucial; if they place the wrong ward, it will inevitably affect their chances of securing the first dragon.

But if Meiko's moves were accurately predicted, how would Snake's first two games, where he was completely outmatched, be accounted for?

Mingkai and Pawn were completely bewildered. They had just switched screens to check the situation and hadn't even figured out what was going on when they heard Koro1 also deliver bad news.

"The crocodile disappeared after pushing the lane; he probably went to the bottom lane."

"Disappeared?"

Abu scanned the five people's screens.

But then the crocodile swaggered from the upper riverbed to the middle, danced gracefully, and then plunged into the lower riverbed.

A blind monk followed behind.

"Let's retreat to the second tower in the bottom lane and let's give up the first dragon." Abu's dejected voice rang out in EDG's team voice chat.

The first dragon grants the entire team an 8% AP/AD bonus, which translates to 350 gold per player.

This is much more profitable than the revenue generated from a large number of people!

From the draft phase to the early laning phase, Snake exuded an unfamiliar aura.

When Snake first entered the LPL, he dominated other teams in the regular season with his four-protect-one strategy against Crystal. After the Summer Split update, he started playing mid, top, and jungle, while the bot lane focused on strategic farming and rarely initiated any plays.

Such situations, where the jungler is forced to clear lanes and the top, jungle, and support coordinate, are almost unheard of.

From the moment the top laner secured the kill, the jungler and support lured the enemy into the jungle, forcing Lulu to recall late and lose minion waves... almost every step was calculated.

"Xiao Long gave it to you, didn't he?"

Mingkai was also a little disappointed. He thought he had the prize in the bag, but he never expected to give it away so easily.

The atmosphere at Snake base became increasingly lively.

Zuo Wu's face was full of smiles.

During his year coaching Snake, he had never gained such an early advantage against EDG, whether in scrims or official matches.

He's signed the coach, Corn!

Snake secured the dragon effortlessly, and their early game momentum took off completely.

Unable to find his rhythm, Mingkai planned to coordinate with Lulu to gank Azir in the mid lane, but Bake was too experienced and didn't give him any chance at all.

Bake used a triple combo of R to push away, EQ, and Flash to force the distance between the two sides to more than 2000 yards.

"Cuihua, come here!"

With the help of a kill and the dragon, the crocodile gained a significant advantage in the lane. Zzr, knowing his role, stayed in the top half of the map and coordinated a tower dive to kill Koro1.

With two kills and a 30-CS lead, the Renekton suddenly became the highest-level player in the game, leaving Flandre speechless.

Zzr, relying on his lane priority with the crocodile, practically lived in EDG's top half of the map, turning Clearlove's jungle monsters into bananas and pig skin water.

In just 10 minutes, the economic gap between the two sides had widened to 3000, achieving the most ideal economic advantage for their lineups, and the kill distribution was also reasonable.

Mingkai was in a lot of pain.

He felt frustrated playing in the World Cup group stage.

The intention of practicing with LPL teams was to use Snake as a training ground to regain confidence and face FNC in a relaxed state.

But now?

Snake's methodical rhythm made Mingkai feel as if he were back in a state of being shrouded in unknown fear.

Pawn's Lulu playstyle doesn't alleviate his pressure; it only protects Sivir's development as much as possible, implementing a four-protect-one strategy.

And that is obvious.

Chen Rui did not give EDG a chance to operate.

Taking advantage of his position, Koro1 started a split push, and Maokai was unable to clear the lane alone and was even solo killed. Koro1's score has dropped to 0-3, seemingly mirroring the previous game.

However, this time the roles are reversed!

You had your fun last round, didn't you!

Saint Gun's still-sharp edges are fully exposed, showing no intention of hiding anything; he'll attack you without hesitation.
