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

At the eighth minute, the first Rift Herald spawned precisely on time.

Li Hu's voice came through the mid laner's headset: "Mid laner, go to the Rift Herald and place a ward there for a while, pretend we're in the top lane and about to engage in a team fight, then the jungler should gank bot lane."

The mid laner playing Ahri and the jungler playing Wukong immediately replied:

"clear."

Li Hu smiled upon hearing this, then switched screens to check the bottom lane minion wave; Lulu had already disappeared.

The enemy Sivir was farming minions under the tower, completely unaware that her death was imminent.

"Yes, that's it."

While steadily farming minions and stacking his Q ability in the top lane, he offered words of encouragement:

"Guys, have confidence in yourselves. You're all experts at eighteen or nineteen, not spinning tops."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to try out for TES. I need to be confident and play against them."

Less than half a minute after he finished speaking, good news came from the bottom lane.

The jungler Wukong flanked from the river bushes, and Lucian and Nami pushed forward simultaneously. Wukong flashed and used his ultimate to disrupt the formation. Lucian glided in and fired two shots at Sivir, who was then finished off with a water bubble for crowd control.

Sivir's double summons failed to save her.

Before the kill announcement had even faded, the monkey had already released the first Herald. The crisp sound of plating shattering exploded one after another, and the bottom lane tower had three layers of plating knocked off by the Herald.

On the economic panel, the slight gap that was initially caused by the inherent disadvantage in the bottom lane was instantly reversed.

Then the jungler, along with the AD carry, took the first dragon.

Li Huqie saw this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

However, in the opposing team's second team's voice chat, the jungler Cream, who was attacking the second Rift Herald, was stunned on the spot:

  

"Holy crap, weren't they going to attack the second vanguard regiment?"

He had just seen the mid-lane Ahri place a ward near the Rift Herald pit and specifically told the support Lulu to move closer to the Rift Herald to prepare for this resource team fight.

As it turned out, the opposing team had no intention of taking the vanguard at all; they feinted and then proceeded to gank the bottom lane.

"Is this some kind of decision made by the youth training team?" Cream couldn't help but curse.

In his mind, youth training teams should be a team where each player plays their own game and does whatever the coach tells them to do. There's no such thing as a tactical coordination that involves feints and deceptions.

What he didn't know was that it all stemmed from that seemingly indifferent Nasus in the top lane.

Li Hu completed three tasks in two minutes with the calmest tone possible...

Calm the bottom laner down, direct the mid laner to play defensively, and let the jungler find the right opportunity to make a move.

With a few words of encouragement, he helped several youth training players who had been repeatedly outmatched by the second team regain their confidence.

Confidence is a mysterious thing; sometimes it's just a matter of being one step away.

Li Hu gave them a chance to breathe again.

This is why even if a teammate feeds a lot in the early game, it doesn't matter how much the dominant player feeds...

He would only encourage the godfather, and would not criticize or blame his teammates for the reasons.

On the top lane, Aspire's Gwent could clearly feel the subtle change in laning pressure.

Nine minutes later, the Nasus who had acquired Sheen was no longer the desert Reaper who could only cower under the tower in fear.

Li Hu began to proactively undergo a blood transfusion.

When Gwen stepped forward to cut her hair, the dog head stopped retreating and instead threw a Soul Flame to create a fire circle. Using the armor reduction effect, he chased after her and delivered a Soul Drain Strike.

When the Lightbringer passive was triggered, Gwen's health dropped significantly.

Aspire's eyelid twitched.

He glanced at the Q level of the dog head subconsciously... 106 levels.

Nine minutes and 106 floors? Under the pressure of a lane dominator like Gwen, this number doesn't seem right at all.

For a normal player using a dog head (likely referring to a specific character or skill) to defeat Gwent, reaching 60 stacks in eight minutes is considered passing, while 80 stacks is already at the level of a master player.

One hundred and six floors?

Just how consistent is this guy's tower dive?

And Aspire discovered something even more terrifying...

The speed at which the dog's head is stacked with Q is increasing.

For the first five minutes, he was able to make Nasus suffer by controlling the lane and suppressing him.

However, as Nasus's equipment is upgraded and his level increases, the cooldown of his Q skill becomes shorter and shorter, and each Q skill can reliably stack three layers, while the cannon minion can stack up to twelve layers.

He even started using Q to hit Gwen while he was last-hitting minions.

There was no fierce battle, just attrition...

The moment you come up to finish me off, I'll tap you with my cane, and then immediately pull away.

By utilizing the slowing effect of Wither and the armor-piercing effect of Soul Flame, Gwen is prevented from unleashing a full combo.

This method of consumption is extremely disgusting.

Gwen's damage output relies on the six hits of her Q skill, Rapid Slash, stacking Conqueror.

Nasus only hits once and then leaves. Before Gwen can stack Conqueror stacks, Nasus has already distanced himself. If you try to chase after him, you'll get focused by the minions.

Aspire's forehead began to sweat.

He finally realized that the trial top laner on the other side wasn't just coasting.

They really have something.

On the other side of the viewing area, Zhou Xiang and the youth training assistant coach stood side by side, their eyes fixed on Li Hu's screen.

"Are you sure this guy has never played professionally before?" the youth training assistant coach asked in a low voice.

"The information says he just turned eighteen and is a complete newbie who made it to the top of the Rift."

Zhou Xiang's eyes also held a complex expression.

Just a passerby.

Can a complete novice player simultaneously maintain a stable laning phase, command the overall game, and help teammates regain confidence in a training match?

That feint by the vanguard just now was entirely initiated by Li Hu. He didn't say much in the voice chat, but every word he uttered was perfectly timed.

He was the one who reminded the mid-lane fox to place wards, and he was the one who encouraged the jungler to gank the bottom lane.

He even gave a signal ten seconds in advance that the monkey could move when it used Flash to initiate a team fight.

The youth training assistant coach was silent for a moment, then uttered a sentence:

"If we win this game, this guy has to stay."

"You can practice heroes you don't know how to play. What a team needs is a calm, collected top laner who doesn't feed, has a good overall view of the game, and can encourage his teammates."

Zhou Xiang nodded without saying anything, already calculating in his mind how much he should offer in the contract to retain the player.

In the canyon, Cream's mindset was clearly affected after she realized she had been scammed.

His tone was a bit aggressive in the voice message: "Play it safe in the top lane and slow down your development."

"I'll control the bottom half of the map first, make sure the bottom lane tower doesn't fall. The first dragon belongs to the enemy, but we need to contest the second dragon and get the dragon soul quickly. We can't afford to delay any longer."

Aspire felt aggrieved after hearing this.

Should we take it easy on the road?

This was an insult to him; a Gwen player was being told to play it safe against Nasus.

But he couldn't refute it, because he was indeed being outsmarted.

Aspire took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the laning phase.

Li Hu did not give him a chance to catch his breath.

In just over ten minutes, Doghead's Q stacks reached 130.

With 130 stacks of Soul Drain, combined with Radiant Blade's passive effect, the damage has visibly begun to surge.

When Gwen went forward again to reinforce the artillery vehicle.

As usual, Li Hu cast Soul Flame at the feet of the turret and used its armor reduction effect to deliver a Soul Draining Strike.

A dull thud.

Gwen's health dropped by one and a half bars.

Aspire gasped.

This is wrong.

He instinctively wanted to fight back, so he activated his E skill, Intermittent Sprint, and pushed forward, while his Q skill, Rapid Slash, was only halfway through its swing.

The dog head had already been thrown out of the withered, and its movement speed dropped sharply. Li Hu's Desert Reaper retreated back behind the minion wave with calm steps.

Gwen's scissors flew through the air.

In the stands, a substitute player from the youth training team couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"This dog's head... why does it feel like it's starting to act like it's not human anymore?"

The people next to him nodded in agreement.

Li Hu's Nasus playstyle is completely different from other Nasus players.

Other players who play Nasus act like cowards in the early game, emerge victorious in the mid-game, and then take on five opponents in the late game.

Li Hu's dog head was also pretending to be a grandson in the early stages, but he did it with more ease.

Every Q that needed to be stacked was used, every health point that needed to be reduced was dealt with decisively, and the rhythm that needed to be set was never ambiguous.

You might think he's taking a beating, but he's actually handling things with ease, waiting for his next opportunity.

And that opportunity has now quietly arrived.

Li Hu glanced at the experience bar, then at Gwen's equipment...

Hextech generator, sandals, and an amplification tome—not even a complete set of equipment could be crafted.

He pressed Tab, confirmed that the enemy jungler's position was still exposed in the bottom half of the map, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Jungler, watch out! The enemy is at half health now. They've used Ignite. I'm moving in next wave."

My teammate paused for a moment in the earpiece: "Who are you going to attack?"

Li Hu controlled the dog's head to take a step forward, his tone calm.

"Move Gwen."

"Let them see what a truly mighty dog ​​looks like."

"After you finish eating the red potion, come help me, I need to activate it!"
