League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 182 If We Swap Heroes, I Will Win
With the helper killed, the remaining three G2 players dared not stay under the tower any longer and quickly retreated to the vicinity of the second tower.
With the help of the factory manager and Meiko, Li Chen devoured the unwanted red buff and raptors before heading towards the top lane, satisfied.
He lost two waves of minions in this gank, but it wasn't a big problem because G2 lost more.
The mid and bottom lanes combined will lose at least four waves of minions, and Perkz's development will fall far behind.
G2 was already lacking in AOE damage in this game, so the consequences of Lissandra collapsing were very serious, much more serious than Shen collapsing.
Li Chen returned to the top lane and, relying on his lead in both level and equipment, plus the red buff, he didn't take Shen seriously.
After quickly pushing the minion wave to the blue team's tower, they ignored Shen and started attacking the tower.
Expect couldn't stand the insult and tried to taunt Camille with his E, but Li Chen easily avoided the control with his E and then turned around and hit the turret with a second QA combo.
The top lane is suffering, and G2's mid and jungle aren't having an easy time either.
After gaining an advantage, Scout completely controlled the lane, and after clearing the minion wave each time, he would dive into G2's jungle and act alongside Clearlove.
Spider was chased around by the two, unable to farm the jungle properly, and the bottom lane was equally on edge, fearing a sudden four-man gank.
In this situation, Perkz could only watch helplessly as a powerless husband witnessed it all.
Eleven minutes in, Li Chen, carrying his newly acquired Ravenous Hydra, ran to the bottom lane. At the same time, Galio disappeared from the mid lane. G2 dared not engage in this team fight and could only give up the bottom lane tower.
After taking down the first tower, EDG's bot lane duo went back to base and headed to the top lane. Galio remained in the mid lane, while Li Chen soloed the bottom lane, and Jarvan IV stayed in the bottom half of the map to protect him.
In this advantageous situation, EDG's lineup was simply flawless. No matter where G2 tried to find an opportunity, the rest of EDG could quickly provide support, which meant that G2 had no chance to turn the tide.
Although G2 wasn't aiming to win, they still made the right choice based on their experience. They moved both of their bot lane duo to the top lane, then Shen went to the mid lane to defend against Galio, and Lissandra went to the bot lane to defend against Camille.
However, in this situation, the sacrifice made by the trick would be too great.
He had to stay in the bottom half of the map to protect Perkz and let him farm, but his own bottom half of the map was completely controlled by Clearlove, so he didn't dare to compete with Clearlove for jungle monsters, which meant he had to stop farming altogether.
Even so, G2 was unable to stop the deteriorating situation.
Their bot lane duo arrived later than EDG's bot lane duo, and their top lane tower, which had already lost a lot of health to Li Chen, was now down to only a few hundred health and on the verge of collapse.
Shen in the mid lane wasn't doing well to begin with, and even if he were to develop at the same pace as Galio, he wouldn't be able to take lane control from Galio. Therefore, Galio was always ready to take off, which put even more pressure on G2.
As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. At 13 minutes and 30 seconds, knowing that the factory manager was fighting for the dragon, the spider made some careless moves and gave the enemy an opportunity in the jungle, positioning herself a bit too close to the bottom lane.
After Li Chen determined that he could kill her, he immediately used E-Flash-E to reach an extremely long distance and then used R. Even though the spider had Flash, she couldn't escape and was still trapped by Li Chen.
Galio in the mid lane immediately followed up with his ultimate, and Clearlove rushed over to throw out an E from a distance to get an assist.
With Spider dead, Perkz in the bottom lane was left to fend for himself. Facing EDG's top, mid, and jungle trio, even with Shen's ultimate, he dared not continue defending the tower and had to abandon the bottom lane's second tower and retreat to the high ground.
EDG didn't hold back either, with three players quickly taking down the second tower before recalling to base to prepare for a new offensive.
G2 knew without a doubt that EDG would group up and push the top lane next, but they had no way to stop them.
It's definitely not possible to fight five-on-five right now, or rather, it's not possible to fight under the top lane tower.
Because if they want to compete with EDG, they have to rely on the turrets for team fights, but the top turret has too little health, it's practically useless, and EDG can easily take it down with just a few auto-attacks.
As a result, under the pressure of EDG's overwhelming force, G2 unsurprisingly abandoned the top lane's first tower and continued to retreat to the second top lane tower.
This time, EDG didn't retreat after taking the tower. Instead, they sent Camille to the mid lane alone, while the other four members of EDG continued to push the top lane.
"EDG made a great decision. Instead of directly diving the tower to fight, they sent god_C to split push in the mid lane. In that case, it wouldn't be appropriate for G2 to assign anyone to defend, because that person could be facing Camille and Galio's double ultimates to dive the tower at any time."
Koma observed EDG's lane rotation strategy, from the 2-1-2 split push to the five-man grouping, and now to the 4-1 split push, which was almost flawless.
Faker said with a serious expression, "Galio is the key. If we're playing against EDG, I suggest we ban Galio, otherwise the pressure on the side lanes will be too great."
Huni asked, puzzled, "Can't we use it? Sang-hyeok hyung, haven't you been practicing Galio lately? We can use this tactic too."
Faker opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.
Of course, he also wanted to use Galio, who hard counters mages in the mid lane, has a lot of crowd control, and can provide long-range support at any time, which is very useful.
But the key issue is that they don't have God_C in the top lane, yet they still have to fight against God_C, which is unacceptable.
Faker struggled to answer Huni's question, but Peanut dared to speak his mind.
He glanced at Huni and said bluntly, "If Sang-hyeok uses Galio, who can guarantee that God_C can't take on two opponents in the mid-game? And if the AD carry gets instantly killed in team fights, can a champion like Galio withstand the damage?"
Huni understood the implication. Annoyed by the veiled criticism from a junior like Peanut, he retorted, "Damn it, what do you mean by 'who can guarantee God_C can't take on two opponents in the mid-game'? Are you saying my laning phase is guaranteed to collapse?"
"You know very well how you fared in your laning phase against god_C. Because you collapsed, you couldn't even fight in the jungle." Peanut showed no mercy and directly tore open the wound.
Actually, after the last loss, the person the team resented the most was Huni.
He felt that Huni's poor performance in the top lane was the reason he was helpless and unable to do anything in the jungle, and was completely dominated by Clearlove.
"Damn it!"
Huni was a little angry, but at the same time he tried to justify himself: "That's because of hero counters. If we switched heroes, he would definitely not be a match for me."
"Alright, stop arguing and watch the game!" Koma stopped the two from arguing, while thinking to himself that he needed to have a good talk with Huni that night and stop her from thinking about unrealistic things all the time.
