Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 354 Superb Awareness, Counter-Destroying the Jungle

Taking advantage of the increased speed from the terrain in the lower half of the map, Kaka's Taliyah used her passive ability to quickly reach the battlefield.

"Don't rush, Little Dog Field. Save your skills for when Taliyah comes up."

Li Luo gave a shout and immediately stabbed at Braum.

On the other side, the prophet Braum was not afraid at all. When he saw Xin Zhao E in his face, he calmly applied his Q skill, wanting to cooperate with Miss Fortune to stun Xin Zhao as soon as possible.

The female gunslinger also activated her Q skill, unleashing an AQ combo and pouring her auto-attacks onto the level 2 Xin Zhao.

"My god, Top Esports' support player, Yuyanjia, was incredibly brave this time. It seems they want to make a comeback with Taliyah and don't want to let Clearlove escape like this."

I remember the teacher exclaiming with her mouth wide open.

On the other side, Cat Emperor also spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "Clearlove's strategy is a bit confused this time. You know Braum is very strong in the early game. Although Xin Zhao is level two now, Edg's bot lane is still level one. It will be difficult to kill Braum before Taliyah arrives."

"Once Taliyah arrives, given her high early-game damage, Edg might suffer a significant loss in tempo."

Upon hearing Cat Emperor's commentary, some Edg fans instinctively wanted to retort.

But before they could even speak, the situation on the field suddenly changed, stunning everyone.

One, two, Zhao Xin landed two auto-attacks with his Q skill on Braum, and Braum's passive was stacked down to just one stack away from stunning him.

Just then, Taliyah arrived at the front lines.

The three who were still attacking Braum stopped attacking in unison.

"Kill the rock finch, kill the rock finch!"

Li Luo's gaze sharpened, and just as the last basic attack was about to land, he flashed onto Taliyah's face and unleashed a basic attack with three stacks of Q skill and red buff.

Instantly, after defeating the toad, Taliyah's health, which was only two-thirds of its original value, dropped to half.

"Wow!!"

"Edgg wants to make a move against Taliyah??"

"Oh my God!"

In the game, Taliyah was knocked back to the ground by Li Luo's basic attack.

Ka Ge looked completely bewildered.

On the other side, Meiko reacted quickly, taking advantage of the moment when the knock-up was about to stop, she followed up with her E skill, Meatball Chicken, and also applied Ignite.

Taliyah's health instantly dropped to zero. She was already a level 2 squishy character, and she wasn't even at full health. Coming down there was like feeding her. She was directly killed by Li Luo, who had recovered from being stunned.

At this point, Zhao Xin still had nearly a third of his health remaining.

Edg.cleralove7 killed Tes.karsa
First blood!

First Blood has been unleashed!
"Wow, my god, what the hell is this? Edg's real intention wasn't what they were aiming for. No wonder they didn't use their abilities when fighting Braum; they were saving them for Taliyah!"

Rita doesn't understand the game very well; so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, all she can do is keep going and yelling.

The audience then realized what was happening and began screaming loudly throughout the stadium.

"Edg!! Awesome!"

"The factory manager is so handsome!!"

"This is absolutely outrageous! How could a newly formed team pull off this kind of teamwork? What is this?!"

"Isn't the factory manager worried that Top Esports' bot lane won't fight and will just waste time?"

"Holy crap, is this still the same factory manager we know? Is he completely unafraid of taking the blame now?!"

I remember the teacher saying in astonishment:
"If this gank fails and they don't catch anyone, then the factory manager will definitely be held responsible for the loss."

"Wow, this guy's got some nerve! Kaka's Taliyah came too early this time, otherwise it would have been better if he had waited until Braum's passive stun was active."

Cat Emperor gave an awkward laugh, as if he had just forgotten that he had been mocking Zhao Xin for making a futile effort.

"However, Zhao Xin's jungle pace has slowed down now, so this situation is completely acceptable for Top Esports."

After killing Taliyah and achieving his goal, Li Luo bought new equipment and headed towards the blue buff as the director switched the camera.

He didn't lose out at all in this wave. What Zhao Xin and Taliyah need in the jungle is an economic advantage. Even if it means harming their teammates, they must create an economic advantage.

Many casual players don't understand why, even when they're dominating the jungle with champions like Taliyah and Karthus, they suddenly lose an economic advantage when they're not paying attention, and then get instantly killed when they encounter them again later.

The fundamental problem lies entirely in the way we think.

Taking Taliyah, Karthus, Elise, and Nidalee as examples of sub-junglers, analyzing their performance on the field and the thought processes of skilled players makes the situation very clear.

These heroes need to be picked based on the team composition. If your teammates don't have crowd control, it will be difficult to play them. Most of the time, after quickly reaching level 3, you can find a lane with crowd control and gank it until you're fed. Then you can farm in all three lanes.

This is also the core of Top Esports' lineup in this match.

Mid lane Qiyana has ice element control, bot lane has Miss Fortune's slow and Braum's control, and top lane has Kennen's electric shock control.

If you don't interrupt Taliyah's jungle clearing rhythm immediately, once she finishes clearing the first round of jungle monsters and reaches level 4, she can basically gank and kill any lane that's pushing. If not, she can take the Rift Scuttler. If the enemy jungler hasn't appeared on your side yet after taking the Rift Scuttler, you can go to that side lane and tower dive.

"Kasa is still too naive. With this kind of thinking, he'll probably never be able to lead the team."

Seeing that the blue buff was still there, Li Luo smiled knowingly.

As a jungler, after absorbing the valuable insights from Clearlove, combined with his previous experience and the progress he has made recently, he can clearly see the flaws in Karsa's playstyle.

As the saying goes, "Once a member of the royal family, always a member of the royal family." Even after joining Top Esports, Karsa is still not "selfish" enough when it comes to farming jungle camps.

Top-tier junglers are very "selfish." A jungler isn't a dog for the three lanes; you're the boss. Your own development is crucial. You need to find ways to direct the support to coordinate with your own rhythm, rather than just following your teammates' ideas.

Especially for champions like Taliyah, you absolutely must secure kills and steal minion experience. A 5.5-minute, 4/0, level 6 Rune Echoes Taliyah is a completely different game. You can go into a 2/0 Xin Zhao's jungle and mindlessly kill him without worrying about him counter-ganking you.

After clearing his blue buff, Li Luo gained experience from the kill and the minion wave in the bottom lane, reaching level three. Seeing that there was no chance to gank the top lane, Li Luo didn't linger and went straight into the upper jungle of Taliyah, heading towards the red buff pit.

It's impossible to gank him this time. 369 knows perfectly well that he'll be in the top lane and definitely won't push the lane; he'll play very cautiously.

As for the mid lane, needless to say, before level 5, Qiyana can only be easily beaten by Sylas, and it's difficult for her to even leave the tower.

"The factory manager is very smart. I would definitely give him full marks for his jungler's instincts. He knew that Taliyah's jungle clearing speed would be very slow after she died once and lost her blue buff, so he went straight to Taliyah's jungle to find her."

"In this way, the ward that 369 placed in the top lane was wasted. If Clearlove can also steal Karsa's jungle monsters, this is a huge win!"

As the commentator spoke, cheers erupted from the audience.

On the other side, Karsa finished off his red buff without incident, but showed no intention of leaving, continuing to kite the Krugs with his positioning. Meanwhile, just a wall away, Xin Zhao was already crouching behind the Krugs wall, in the bush near the red buff.

"Huh? Zhao Xin can sense Taliyah attacking that Krugs. Oh no, Clearlove's observation skills are too sharp."

"The quarry on the ground exposed Taliyah's jungle route, that's too fatal, what do you think, Cat King?"

I remember changing the subject abruptly, noticing that Cat King hadn't spoken for a long time, and taking the initiative to steer the conversation in a friendly manner.

Unexpectedly, Cat King looked gloomy and seemed not to have noticed his words. He only realized what he had said when the teacher asked him again.

"This wave? It'll be very difficult for Clearlove to ambush and kill Taliyah this time. Taliyah still has Flash on her, and in terms of support range, Qiyana is a step ahead of Sylas. If a fight really breaks out, it's not certain who will win. They might wipe out their previous advantage in one wave."

"It seems that Cat Emperor still has a lot of confidence in Top Esports this time."

Seeing the increasing barrage of comments, Rita quickly changed the subject, indicating that she should watch the match first.

At this point, Taliyah's fight against the Stone Golem was nearing its end, and she was about to finish clearing it.

After using E skill to scatter the stones and collect the last four small stones, all the viewers stared intently at the screen.

At this point, Taliyah has two options.

First, sneak up along the wall in the top lane and try to counter-gank Xin Zhao, or even have Kennen let the wave go and try to gank Aatrox.

But here's the problem: Taliyah isn't really suited for counter-ganking; she's better suited for taking the initiative.

Besides, the game where the factory manager counter-ganked Little Phoenix is ​​still fresh in everyone's mind. Would Karsa dare to gamble on that chance?
Second, give up ganking and focus on farming the F6, Wolves, and bot lane river crab. Once you've finished farming, the mid laner should be around level 5. Then, coordinate with Left Hand to see if you can find a rhythm to turn the tide.

But this is exactly what Li Luo has fallen into his trap.

Conspiracy!

All the spectators felt a chill. Sure enough, after a slight hesitation, Taliyah chose to go down.

Furthermore, due to Karsa's skillful maneuvering, Taliyah moved close to the wall, perfectly timing her movement speed to land right in front of Xin Zhao.

Should we launch an attack?

the answer is

definitely!
"Li Xuanjun, Scout, push the lane faster, don't give them a chance to come and support, I'm going to kill Taliyah!"

In the team voice chat, Li Luo shouted, startling the top and mid laners. After realizing what was happening, they immediately began to try to exchange blows.

A!
Triple Claw Attack (Q)!
A!

The skillful AQA reset basic attack hit Taliyah, startling Kage so much that he almost stood up.

The Taliyah without blue buff is so realistic. Even after using up all the potions, Kaka's health is still not healthy enough, only a little over half.

Taliyah didn't expect Xin Zhao to dare to camp here. After all, she was farming in her own jungle. Xin Zhao camping here meant that at least ten or twenty seconds had passed. In a game, if she couldn't catch him, it would be a huge disruption to her rhythm!

"Knight, can 369 come to help? Xin Zhao is ambushing me in the jungle!"

In his panic, Karsa anxiously asked in the voice chat, but he wasn't too flustered at the moment because Xin Zhao didn't have Flash, while he did. As long as he got over the wall, it meant he was absolutely safe.

"No way, this Sylas is pushing my lane. If I come over, he'll definitely follow."

"The top laner Aatrox is fighting me, he can't get through, let's go!"

Hearing his teammates' voices, Karsa had no choice but to endure Xin Zhao's attacks and try to move closer to the wall.

"Top Esports' teammates can't provide support this time, so Taliyah has to find a way to escape. My god, no way! Karsa, please don't try to get over the wall here, or you'll be playing right into Clearlove's hands."

In the game, Taliyah uses her Q ability to retreat, constantly getting closer to the wall.

However, Taliyah failed to notice a problem at this moment: Xin Zhao, who started with a level 1 scan, had already switched his scan to a ward after returning to base.

This ward was placed right behind the wall facing the red buff, which is where Karsa was about to flash away.

"That's really the culprit. But playing like this, with no jungle monsters and no gold, let's see how you play next."

"Bye-Bye"

At the last moment before Flash appeared, Karsa opened the tab panel, seemingly sensing something was wrong. But after glancing at Xin Zhao's CS count and seeing that it was only 16, Karsa relaxed, smiled nonchalantly, and then Flashed over the wall.

I long to ride the wind and return, yet I fear the jade palaces and crystal towers.
Casa was so dashing that he almost wanted to compose a poem, but the next moment, his smile froze!
The second after flashing over the wall, Zhao Xin leaned against the wall without placing a ward and charged over using his Fearless Charge (E).

Before Yan Que could go far, Zhao Xin closed in again and appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Holy crap!" Kasa was completely dumbfounded: "I have wards here?"

What the hell is this thing?!
What was the factory manager like last season? How did he become so dominant now?
But by then, his complaints were over. Zhao Xin was already face-to-face with Taliyah, and the slow effect of Fearless Charge made it difficult for Taliyah to move. Even without any skills to deal damage, Zhao Xin could kill him with just auto-attacks.

After a few basic attacks, Taliyah's health bar began to drop rapidly.

"Oh my god, Casa has been caught by the factory manager again! What are we going to do?!"

"And it was an amazing play where he placed a ward in advance and predicted Karsa's flash position. Wow, Clearlove's awareness is incredible, I'm impressed."

The scene instantly went wild!

"Xin Zhao has locked onto Taliyah! Wow, that's some serious damage! What runes is Clearlove using? This is terrifying."

As Ji De finished speaking, the director switched to Zhao Xin's talent panel, and to everyone's surprise, it was Conqueror!
Compared to Phase Rush Xin Zhao or Aggressive Xin Zhao, Conqueror is more suitable for chases or long-term battles.

At this point, the conqueror's advantage became even more apparent.

Once Taliyah has stacked Conqueror, she can only keep running and can't even think about fighting back.

"Looks like Taliyah is going to die this time, but!! Is Knight abandoning the minion wave and coming straight in to take Clearlove's kill to cut his losses?"

In the game, seeing a wave of minions pushing into the tower, Kiana, who still had half her health left, abandoned the minion wave and ran back to the jungle.

Scout immediately signaled and shouted in the voice chat, following Kiana right behind her.

"Can we go, Mingkai? We've made a profit! We've already made a profit! Kiana has already gone to support them!" Unlike other teams with Korean players, Scout's accent didn't reveal that he was Korean at all.

"Mingkai, let's retreat, this is going to be tough."

"Wait, if there's a chance, Scout, come with me, don't abandon me!" After taking down Taliyah, Li Luo calmly controlled Xin Zhao, and a bold idea popped into his head.

"Xuanjun, don't give Kennen a chance to come over or teleport, we can fight this wave!"
