Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

The Twisted Tri-Core Appears Ahead of Schedule in Chapter 29

The power of the top, mid, and jungle Twisted Trinity cores finally came into play this game.

As a single-lane bug, it could no longer contain Letme's Gnar.

At 18 minutes, four players rotated to the top and mid lanes to clear vision around the dragon pit, while Gnar pushed the bottom lane alone.

When the Baron Nashor is about to spawn, the jungler, Clearlove, cannot stay in the bottom lane to help A-Guang's Cho'Gath defend.

As the main damage dealer in the early to mid-game, Scout's Omega was also restrained by four players.

An awkward question arises: should we send a support or a rat to help with the defense?

How can this be.

The factory manager was immediately annoyed by RNG's shameless tactics.

Standing behind, Abu keenly sensed the factory manager's emotions and shook his head almost imperceptibly.

It seems EDG will need to find a replacement jungler for S8.

The current state of the factory manager is really hard to describe. Two consecutive losses in the S-series have made the veteran feel exhausted.

At 19.40 seconds, RNG, who had the advantage, had basically cleared all the vision around the Baron pit.

Xiao Ming, who was crouching in the bushes on the left side of the middle lane, along with Sejuani and Tristana, caught Clearlove coming out of F6.

Unfortunately, the pure AD damage couldn't kill Clearlove, who escaped with a sliver of health using an EQ combo.

As soon as the factory manager fled, the RNG team all turned and headed towards the Baron pit, as if to say, "We're going to take down Baron right in front of you."

Pure AD damage against a pure armor Jarvan IV makes Cho'Gath slow, but that doesn't mean it'll be slow to take down Baron.

In less than ten seconds, the dragon was down to half health.

Scout, standing on the outer edge of the dragon pit, got impatient and chose to use his ultimate ability, Holy Lance, to frantically shoot into the dragon pit.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoming followed the direction from which the bullet came and pulled him into the dragon pit.

Without any further maneuvering, Scout, still airborne and not yet landing, became the first body to fall into the dragon pit.

The dragon was still attacking relentlessly, and its 10000 HP was dwindling to less than 3,000.

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out from behind.

"Oh~ It's me~ hahahahh~"

"I just hid! Hahaha! Uh... um..."

"Sewer kebabs! Everyone gets a share!"

The rat, equipped with the incense burner effect, activates its R skill the instant its Q skill appears, unleashing its full power.

The damage from the Hurricane Greatsword's rat attack should not be underestimated; in just two hits, the outermost Karma lost half her health.

"I will rule Freljord, leaving no one alive."

Xiangguo, who was still fighting the dragon, didn't use his ultimate (R) even when chasing the prince. He reserved that ultimate skill specifically for Iboy.

The massive ice spike, imbued with icy energy, slammed into the rat, and layers of solid ice enveloped its feet.

"Grow up quickly"

Meiko quickly cast the R skill on Iboy to make him grow faster, but the enlarged rat became an even bigger target.

Xiaoming's robot pulled him into the dragon pit.

Is he even alive?
Unable to regain consciousness, the rat became the second person after Scout to end up in the dragon pit.

After replenishing his health, the factory manager looked around and reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​stealing Baron Nashor, turning instead to the bottom lane to help defend against Cho'Gath.

I could hear the dragon's mournful howl coming through my headphones.

"........."

The atmosphere in the EDG training room was unusually silent. Iboy frequently looked at A-Guang, casting concerned glances at him.

Ah Guang has been constantly criticized on various forums and online communities, but he has never refuted anything.

In terms of champion pool, playing Gnar results in getting crushed by Maokai, and playing Maokai results in getting crushed by Gnar.

In addition, there have been frequent instances where the factory manager helps the top laner get 3 kills but achieves nothing, so everyone seems to have gotten used to it. And it seems that it's not entirely A-Guang's fault.

LCK is a league that particularly likes to play 41-point pushes.

As Miller once said, when playing 4-1, what matters is not your 4, but your 1.

4 represents intelligence and teamwork, while 1 represents your bait, a highly threatening bait.

In other words, LCK teams place great importance on the top lane because they believe it is the key to turning the tide of battle.

Compared to our LPL, the tactical thinking and team focus are really quite different.

We can see that players like A-Guang, Leg-Ge, Flandre, and Letme, who have shone in domestic LPL matches, all share one characteristic: they are lonely.

They carry a teleport scroll with them, and aside from using it to quickly return to lane after the first laning phase to minimize losses, they basically use it for team fights in the bot lane.

In the LPL, many teams rotate their mid and jungle to the bot lane to trigger the first team fight, creating opportunities for the bot lane and leaving the top lane vulnerable.

Comparing Letme and A-Guang in the same position, what are the differences between them after these six months?
Frankly speaking, if there were a six-dimensional graph, Letme would definitely be a plus version of A-Guang.

Letme's dominance in the laning phase is arguably second to none in China. His age and experience have made him exceptionally outstanding in the top lane.

What does he have more of than A-Guang? Is it his strength?

It's actually confidence, the confidence of having strong teammates.

Because of the LPL's unique culture of mockery, names containing words like "Emperor," "King," or "King" are likely to be used in a mocking way.

When it came to A-Guang, the "shining light of the top lane" was used to label someone who didn't actually have much of a carry potential.

I'm already at the bottom after getting one kill, so I need to try my best to carry and be careful in lane.

Because I am a single person, if I die, it will affect my teammates' carry potential. If I live, even if I am pressured, I will not be eliminated in team fights and will be able to play my due role.

Because he knew that Scout could carry, Iboy could carry, and Clearlove could carry in China.

So he can lie down and not die, stealthily farm minions, and gain an advantage without needing strong basic skills. He can win by developing his strength in a stealthy way.

This kind of passive winning in LPL gradually numbed A Guang's ego. What makes me carry?

Are you kidding me? Even if we don't mention Scout and Iboy, there's still the formidable Clearlove above them.

However, when they arrived at the World Championship, everyone realized that Scout's performance wasn't particularly good, and the double-edged sword finally hurt him.

Top lane wants to carry, bottom lane doesn't dare to carry, mid lane is underperforming, and Clearlove is just trying to maintain his KDA. This is what the top 16 looks like.

Ah Guang's sarcasm was truly devoid of any praise, and it became a mountain weighing down on him.

"Kobe can't even make a shot like that, he's really bad."

"My God, Ariza's crucial steal! It was a fleeting moment, but it was fatal!"

The higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. Just when we think there's no hope left for someone, they bring us new hope.

This must be Ah Guang!

Why have so many people criticized Clearlove since Season 6? Because he used to climb the ranks with ease and dominated the jungle in China.

He made outrageous remarks about going home to raise pigs, and even invented a suicidal insult: "nmsl, wsnd".

He's always spouting witty remarks, but he's such a talented person that our expectations of him are too high, so it's only natural that we criticize him.

But when it came to Ah-Guang, we kept teasing him until it became a habit, and one day we realized that he was actually quite cute.

As for his potential ceiling, it seemed quite low when he was with EDG, but this was largely due to EDG's consistent strategy of sacrificing their top laner.

Even when EDG picked a counter-pick top laner in the last pick of the Demacia Cup, they would still choose a champion that the opponent had already picked, one they dared not counter, and instead pick Maokai for team fight protection.

Just as netizens said, EDG is recruiting Maokai, requiring him to be a skilled top laner.

With EDG's tactics, no matter how strong the top laner is, they need to provide lightning-fast support as soon as a fight breaks out in another lane.

Even if they have an advantage online, it's hard to maintain. Not to mention they rarely get heroes that can truly counter the opponent in lane, so how can they demonstrate their potential?

If it weren't for Li Luo now carrying RNG's bot lane, Letme, like A Guang, would have become a top laner buried by tactics, helplessly losing in the top-jungle meta of S8.
