LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

As the game finishes loading.

The lights at the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center dimmed, and ten beams of light illuminated Summoner's Rift.

Li Hu flexed his fingers and his gaze fell on the VN model.

He chose to use the 2022 Prestige Prestige Flame skin, with white hair and a golden boar crossbow in his hand.

Li Hu found it much more comfortable to use than originally planned.

Vayne top lane, a four-protect-one composition.

TES hasn't used this system in official matches for a long time...

Or rather, no team in the entire LPL has dared to play like this for a long time.

The Season 12 World Championship patch completely turned the top lane into a domain dominated by fighters.

Aatrox, Fiora, Jayce, Gnar, and Camille take turns guarding the top lane; whoever picks an AD carry is clearly out of their mind.

But Li Hu didn't care.

His Vayne profile is already 100%, from laning to team fights, from split push to team fights, every detail is etched into muscle memory.

Moreover, the lineup Chieh assembled for him in this game included Galio's ultimate to ensure he could engage, Nocturne's debuff to create an environment for him to deal damage, Lulu's shield and attack speed buff, and Ezreal flanking to draw enemy fire...

TES's four-protect-one strategy involves channeling all resources onto him.

Li Hu will not disappoint his teammates.

"Tiger, what's the positioning for level one?" Xiao Fang's voice came through the earpiece.

Li Hu pressed Tab to take a look at the opposing team's lineup.

RNG's lineup has maximum early-game fighting ability. With LeBlanc and Nami in the level 1 team fight, they won't have an advantage in a real fight.

"AD and support should roam normally, avoid level 1 team fights."

Li Hu's voice was calm: "Xiao Fang, start with blue buff and farm up. You should be in the top river bush around 3 minutes and 15 seconds. At that time, I will push the lane to the tower, and you can counter-gank."

Xiao Fang was taken aback: "How did you know I could arrive in three minutes and fifteen seconds?"

"I calculated your jungle route for you."

Li Hu's tone was flat:

"Start with Blue Buff, then Monster Raider, Wolves, Raptors, Red Buff, Rift Scuttler. You will definitely be in the top river between 3 minutes and 10 seconds and 3 minutes and 20 seconds."

"At this point, the enemy monkey will have just finished clearing the top half of the map, and will most likely come to check the top lane."

Xiao Fang was silent for two seconds, then managed to utter a sentence:

"You even calculated my jungle clearing speed?"

"Just do as I say."

After Li Hu finished speaking, he controlled Vayne to sneak into the top lane bush, hugging the wall.

  

Both sides were in their normal positions, and the director's camera, as is customary, focused on the bottom lane duo laning.

In Zz1tai's live stream, Zita frowned:

"Wait a minute, Ezreal and Lulu didn't go help Nocturne clear the jungle, they just stood in the lane bushes?"

Crystal leaned closer to the screen: "What does that mean?"

"Not helping the jungler clear the jungle is practically admitting to the enemy Nightmare that he's soloing the jungle, isn't it?"

The comments section immediately erupted with mockery:

TES's jungler and support synergy is terrible.

[Xiao Fang is going to get completely destroyed by Wei's counter-jungling]

Li Hu's Vayne inserted a thread hole in the toilet grass in case someone was inside.

On the commentary stage, Ji De was analyzing: "Normally, when Vayne fights Renekton, level one is Vayne's power spike. Renekton has no mobility at level one, so Vayne can poke him without taking damage."

Tongxi chimed in, "But I noticed that Glory's Vayne didn't push forward at level one like she did in the last game against Neny. Instead, she stood in the bush in front of the tower. This positioning was a bit conservative."

"They're probably wary of RNG's five-man gank on the top lane!"

"After all, RNG has targeted certain teams with their bans, so there might be some subtle strategies involved," Ji De added.

Level 1: The two sides' lanes meet.

Breathe's crocodile learned Q at level 1 and, based on the understanding of short-ranged players fighting long-ranged players, first placed the ball in lane.

But he discovered that Vayne had no intention of pushing the lane at all, and even voluntarily gave up lane control.

Breathe frowned and said in the voice message:

"The enemy Vayne isn't pressuring me; the lane will be pushed towards her side soon."

Wei's monkey is starting the blue buff: "Then you level up yourself, I can come and fight when I'm level three. Even if I can't catch him, I can still help you clear the lane."

Breathe: "Okay, I'll see how it goes."

He stood to the side of the minion wave and killed three melee minions in the front row with a single Q.

When Li Hu saw the crocodile's position, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

He emerged from the bushes, not rushing to attack the crocodile to lower its health.

Li Hu first took down the two melee minions in the front row, and then, just as the Crocodile was about to take the opportunity to move forward and use his Q, he pulled back half a body length, just managing to get stuck on the edge of the Tyrant's Berserker.

The crocodile's Q skill hit the red team's ranged minion wave, but not him.

Breathing Bro's blood transfusion failed, and Vayne seized the opportunity, immediately unleashing a barrage of crossbow bolts at the crocodile.

Basic attack, Q (dodge attack) resets basic attack, then basic attack again.

Two basic attacks hit the crocodile, and its health dropped significantly.

Breathe paused for a moment.

Vayne's positioning was incredibly precise.

When a normal player plays Vayne against Renekton, they will definitely stand behind the minion wave and auto-attack at level one.

But this Vayne was standing in the bush on the side of the minion wave, attacking the enemy.

While attacking, you can also roll into the bushes at any time, so you won't attract minion aggro and you can block the outer circle of the Renekton's Q skill.

"This person's Vayne skill is incredibly high," Breathe silently noted to himself.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

Vayne's early game damage is so-so; after two or three hits, she only loses a few dozen health points. Renekton has Doran's Shield and Q, so he can recover quickly by standing still.

Breathe glanced at the minimap; Wei was fighting the Gromp, and LeBlanc had lane priority in the mid lane. He felt reassured.

"They probably wanted to lash out at me while I wasn't angry, but it's nothing serious."

In the next minute, Breathe struggled more and more.

Li Hu's Vayne is like a ghost.

Every time the crocodile tries to finish him off, Vayne's crossbow bolt will inevitably land on him half a second before he does.

Every time the crocodile tries to chip away at Vayne's health with his Q skill, Vayne's positioning will always be perfectly positioned at the edge of the Q skill's edge.

What's even more disgusting is that this Vayne never greedily takes A...

After hitting the three rings, immediately pull back, never giving the crocodile a chance to get close.

After surviving to level 3, the crocodile unlocked both his E and W abilities, finally gaining the means and resources to engage in close-quarters combat.

Breathe had been waiting for this opportunity.

He timed his move during a gap in the siege minion wave, using the first part of his E skill to pass through the minions and get right up to Vayne's face.

The moment Q skill Tyrant's Strike starts spinning, W Crimson Bite is already firmly in hand.

But Li Hu reacted faster than him.

The moment the crocodile used its E ability, Vayne's E ability, Demonic Judgment, was already unleashed.

A massive silver crossbow bolt struck the crocodile in the chest, knocking him back violently. The crocodile's Q skill was rendered useless.

They directly cosplayed the giant spinning top from the LPL.

What made Breathe even more furious was that he was knocked back right in the middle of a bunch of ranged minions.

Because of Li Hu's lane control, the minions' aggro instantly reached its maximum, with five ranged minions and a siege engine attacking him simultaneously.

"Damn it!" Breathe couldn't help but curse.

In this exchange of blows, his crocodile lost nearly 200 health, while Vayne was completely unharmed.

In the commentary booth, Ji De's voice rose a few decibels:

"Glory handled this situation so meticulously!"

"The moment the crocodile used his E, Vayne immediately used her E to push him away, striking right at the last frame of the crocodile's Q skill's animation. The crocodile's Q didn't even touch Vayne's clothes!"

Tongxi chimed in, "Moreover, the angle of this E skill is also very precise. It pushes the crocodile right into the minion wave, instantly drawing full minion aggro. The crocodile suffered a huge loss in this trade."

In the backstage dressing room, Yu Wenbo leaned back on the sofa with a smile on his lips.

Rookie next to him was staring at the screen, his eyes shining.

"This Vayne player's awareness and mechanics are so good, it's a shame she's not playing AD carry."

"And his actions are so similar to those of a single person."

Yu Wenbo turned his head and glanced at him: "Who?"

Rookie smiled, didn't say his name, but nodded towards TheShy, who was still looking down at his phone in the corner.

TheShy felt their gazes, looked up, and blinked blankly:

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just watch the game," Yu Wenbo smiled.

After defeating the Frog, Wei leveled up to level three, and as usual, his first choice was to check the bottom lane.

However, EZ's positioning in the bottom lane was extremely timid, with Mark's Lulu always positioned in front of EZ, giving him no chance to be poked or harassed.

"Is there a chance in the bottom lane?" Wei asked.

Bunny shook his head: "They're not easy to kill; they have shields."

Wei switched screen to look at the top lane and saw Vayne pushing the lane...

He remembered his coach's instructions and immediately gave up the idea of ​​invading the enemy jungle.

Wei is a formulaic jungler; he lacks any intuition or creativity.

At this point, Li Hu had already pushed the minion wave across the river, and Breathe's Renekton was being pressured under the tower to farm minions, losing nearly a third of his health.

"This Vayne is a bit arrogant. Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Xiao Fang's nightmare also appeared precisely at the same time in the grass along the upper river.

He crouched down in the grass and glanced at the road ahead...

Li Hu's Vayne had pushed the minion wave all the way to RNG's tower, and the Renekton was cowering under the tower, trembling with fear.

"Tiger, I'm in position."

"Stay still, the monkeys over there are coming soon."

As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, Xiao Fang saw Wei's Monkey King appear in the enemy jungler's field of vision.

Wukong, carrying his golden cudgel, emerged from the triangular bushes and was making his way towards the top of the bushes.

Xiao Fang's heart started racing instantly.

If he hadn't come to counter-gank, the Monkey King's control chain combined with the Renekton's...

Crocodile EW combo into Monkey EQ...

Even if Vayne has Flash, she'll still be flashed to death.

But Li Hu anticipated RNG's targeted strategy.

As soon as the monkey entered the river bush, Xiao Fang used Nightmare and the inverted triangle bush to immediately spread out Nightmare Path with his Q skill, and then used his E skill Silent Fear on the monkey.

Li Hu retreated from under the tower, and Vayne pressed forward simultaneously, firing her silver crossbow at the monkey relentlessly.

Wei was caught off guard by this counter-gank and quickly used W to pull the real and fake Monkey Kings towards the river.

But the nightmare's fear had already been triggered; the monkey spun around in place, losing half its health.

Breathe's crocodile emerged from beneath the tower, intending to come up and help.

But Vayne dodged his E skill with a sidestep, and then used her E skill, Demonic Judgment, to pin the crocodile to the wall.

"pretty!"

Xiao Fang shouted excitedly, and Nightmare chased the monkey, attacking relentlessly.

Wei was forced to use Flash to escape, and Breathe's Renekton was also forced to use Flash to hide in the tower, preventing Vayne from dealing her final three-hit damage.

A counter-gank forced the opponent to use two Flash abilities.

"TES' counter-gank was absolutely crucial!"

Remembering the voice rose a few decibels:

"Xiaofang's Nightmare skill landed early, perfectly timed to ambush Wei's Monkey King during his gank!"
