Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 383 Level 2 gank? Then I'll kill you at level 1!
Having set up the Graves trap, JD Gaming naturally focused their subsequent lineup choices around Kanavi's Trundle.

The mid laner still chose Azir, a strong late-game champion in the current version, to ensure the team's output, while the top laner, Zoom, picked the classic gank champion Renekton to coordinate with Kanavi's ganks.

In the bottom lane matchup, Edg, on the red side, had a slight advantage because they had a counter pick.

JDG (blue side) vs Edg (red side)

Top Lane: Renekton vs. Aatrox
Jungle: Trundle vs Graves
Mid Lane: Azir vs. Crystal Maiden
Adc: Aphelios vs Miss Fortune
Support: Thresh vs. Yuumi
Looking at the JDG team's lineup, after acquiring all the heroes, their intentions are obvious to everyone.

"The lineups for both sides are now finalized. We can see that JD Gaming's lineup for this match is completely different from the previous two matches. Whether it's the three cores of top, mid, and jungle, or the choice of the bot lane, they are all very strong. As for Edg, there's not much to say, it's their classic jungle carry system!"

"Compared to JDG, Edg needs to take a more unconventional approach, which is why Clearlove's Graves is so terrifying this season. I wonder if JDG can withstand Graves's massive cannon fire in the early and mid-game. Let's jump into the game!"

Miller shook his head and sighed, "Yes, both sides have shown their true skills in this final decisive game, a clash of titans. Will JD Gaming be able to defy fate, or will Edg become the new king? Let's enter Summoner's Rift together!"

With that, the third match point game of the 2020 Spring Finals best-of-five series officially began.

The stadium exploded in an instant!

"Edg!! Edg!! Edg!!"

"JDG! JDG! JDG!"

"The factory manager will beat Kanavi to a pulp!! Kill the factory, you bastard!"

At this moment, all the fans are cheering for their favorite teams in their own ways.

Even though JD.com was already on the brink of defeat, its fans rallied and worked hard to boost JD.com's morale.

in the game.

Once the game started, the JD.com players nervously bought their equipment and headed to their designated positions. Even the spectators could clearly feel their tension; JD.com was about to go all out.

However, in comparison, Edg's side was much more relaxed. Everyone calmly gathered in the red side's lower jungle, as if they were not worried at all that JDG would invade the red side's upper jungle.

From the bottom lane blue buff, the five players went to the bushes leading to the river and waited.

From God's perspective, all viewers could see the team logos constantly lighting up above the heads of the Edg players and the heroes' dancing moves, especially the Graves and Miss Fortune, who were playfully teasing each other face to face.

The cats nearby were flying around the four of them, looking incredibly happy.

The director initially switched between several players from JD.com, but after noticing Edg and others' actions, he immediately gave them a close-up.

"Wow, the factory manager and the dog are so mischievous. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was an exhibition match. They're not nervous at all." The commentator was originally on edge, fearing a big battle was about to break out, but he didn't expect to see such a happy scene.

I remember the teacher couldn't help but laugh and say, "This .Edg seems to be really into it, huh? He's got some skills, let's see if the green-haired guy comes over from here."

"However, judging from Edg's current actions, it seems they have no intention of engaging in a level 1 team fight. They'll probably try to ambush Greenmao here, and if they don't succeed, they'll just let it go."

"Yes, in the finals, it's match point, so we need to play it safe. Besides, JD Gaming probably won't go for this position, since the vision control isn't necessary."

in the game.

After playing for a while, just when everyone thought they were going to go their separate ways, Edg and his teammates unexpectedly headed straight for JDG's lower jungle.

"Wait a minute, is EdgG going to make another arrest?"

They had just said that Edg didn't plan to engage in a level 1 team fight, but they were immediately proven wrong. The three commentators looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

A cat-themed sword demon plus an ice maiden.
You don't have the ability to keep people here. Even if you catch them, what good will it do? It's just a waste of time and energy, and it might even disrupt the rhythm.

Meanwhile, within the Edg team...

"Follow me and we'll go together," Li Luo commanded.
"So confident? I hope we don't mess this up. All we know is how to use Ice Maiden's W to keep people in place." As the previous commander, Meiko knew how ruthless Li Luo was after a season, but she couldn't help but feel a little guilty at this moment.

Damn it! I'm just a level one kitten!

“Ask Jian Zihao if he’s going,” Li Luo replied.

Zaozi Ge, beaming with excitement, exclaimed, "Go for it! Why wouldn't we go? It's not like we're the ones who got beaten 2-0, what's the big deal?"

"Hahaha, look at this, you have to develop your own style. JDG is such a cowardly team. If you don't scare them, how will they know how good you are? They still think they can use a trash troll to invade my jungle." Li Luo couldn't help but laugh.

Although Hongmi is intelligent and his skills are among the best in the country, his mind becomes a blank canvas when it comes to crucial moments in a game.

Anyone can go up to his canvas and make a couple of strokes.

In this round, Li Luo was convinced that Redmi had been influenced by others and had come up with a bad idea to suppress him by using Kanavi.

Since JD.com didn't dare to intrude and gain access, it naturally didn't notice anything unusual and simply returned to its normal online presence.

The crocodile went top lane, the Azir went mid lane, and the bot lane and the Troll were preparing to start their jungle with red buff.

"I don't know what to do. It feels like I'm unlikely to get any kills. There's nothing I can do about it; JD Gaming won't give you any chances these days. Even if I get a kill, it'll be a huge loss."

Seeing that the minion wave on the top lane was about to spawn, Aatrox still showed no intention of returning, leaving everyone puzzled and wondering what big thing Edg was planning in this game.

Four or five seconds later, a shout of "All troops, attack!" rang out, and JD Gaming's bottom lane was already stirring in the red buff pit.

At the same time, the director focused all the camera shots on the five Edg players who were still crouching in the grass.

"Isn't Flandre planning to go back to base yet? The minion wave has already spawned. Is Edg...wait, are they about to make a move?"

On the field, the entire Edg team, who had been waiting, suddenly stopped playing around and went straight through the bottom lane tri-bush towards the red buff.

Here! JD.com's perspective is missing!

"Oh dear, JD Gaming made a common-sense mistake here. They gave vision to the upper jungle to protect the Trundle's early jungle farming and counter-jungling, but unexpectedly, Clearlove's Graves didn't intend to play with you after level three; he came to your jungle at level one to cause trouble. This is too much."

"No way, JD Gaming is being too abstract. Why would they think that Clearlove didn't actively counter-jungle in the first two games, so he won't do it this game?"

As the commentator finished speaking, Redmi, who was watching the game from the rest room, clenched his fist! "Damn it, those Edg guys are cunning now, deliberately exploiting our awareness gaps. This game is ruined!"

Redmi slammed his fist on the stool, the dull thud startling everyone else.

However, he, as the person involved, turned a deaf ear and focused intently on the movements of everyone on the screen, hoping for a miracle to happen.

"Now the two teams are just one wall away. Can JD.com detect this?" Everyone exclaimed upon seeing this, but Green Hair and Loken clearly did not react and did not realize that the five members of Edg were already waiting below.

Furthermore, they don't believe that a support hero like Miss Fortune or Graves can have much impact in the early game.

These two are inherently scaling heroes, so how can they compare to Thresh and Trundle?

Time ticked by, and the red buff was about to refresh, but JD.com still didn't react, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"What are they trying to do this time? Are they trying to steal the red buff or get a kill? It can't be that bad. Letting Flandre lose a wave of minions in the top lane to fight Renekton is such a bad deal!"

"The main reason Edg didn't have crowd control in this fight is that they lacked it. If they had had crowd control, I would have been very optimistic about their performance in this level 1 team fight where they had no vision."

Miller glanced at the map and noticed that the five Edg players who had been standing in formation were starting to diverge. The Aatrox and Graves with Yuumi were further forward, while the Lissandra and Miss Fortune were hiding below the Malphite, motionless.

Miller's jaw dropped. "This... Edg seems to be plotting something big. If it works, I'll be a die-hard Edg fan this season!"

"Huh?" The doll looked completely bewildered, not understanding what her partner was talking about.

"No way, are they really going to do this here? Edg is incredibly audacious!" The teacher stared wide-eyed at the screen and said.
"This is outrageous! There's a saying that goes, 'Those who calculate more win, those who calculate less lose, and those who calculate nothing lose.' Edg has calculated more than just one or two steps ahead; they're practically trying to get JD.com into their own basket. Can this really work?"

The two commentators exchanged cryptic remarks, neither willing to voice their own bold and unrealistic idea.

too crazy!

This was Miller's and Teacher's only thought at that moment.

The audience at the scene tensed up, staring intently at the screen, anticipating the battle that was about to unfold.

The red buff fight has already started, and the minion wave in the top lane is about to arrive. Zoom will soon notice Flandre's unusual behavior!

"Time waits for no one. What should the factory manager do here? Edg is currently without vision of the red buff. They can only rely on their own guesses to estimate the speed of JD's jungler, which is terrible!"

"My god, the Graves here actually used a smoke grenade!"

Wawa immediately began to commentate quickly: "Graves threw a smoke grenade at JD Gaming's red buff, and he and Aatrox flashed! Kanavi's Trundle was hit by the smoke grenade. How did Clearlove know Kanavi's jungle pulling habits? He used Smite, and Graves is level 2! Now it's 2v3, with two people chasing Trundle! Trundle's health is very low!"

"???"

"!!!"

"Oh no, the troll is about to teleport right into the rock golem's pit! Oh no, the troll doesn't know there are two other people waiting for him down there. What are we going to do?!"

The scene was immediately stunned!
When Kanavi appeared, he was stunned!
Right on his face, there stood two people standing upright!
Ice Maiden, Miss Fortune.

The next second, the ice on the Ice Maiden's body began to bloom, instantly freezing the troll who was trying to escape, and Zaozi followed up with his attacks.

The first blood was undoubtedly drawn!
Edg.Uzi kills JDG.kanavi
First blood!

Wow!
Seeing the first blood, everyone at the scene was stunned by Edg's unreasonable playstyle!
"Clearlove! Graves made it!" Seeing this, Wawa immediately understood what his two partners had said earlier and shouted:
"JD.com boasted before the match that they could easily gank Edg's bot lane with Uzi at level two, but today, Clearlove showed everyone at JD.com that if you want to gank bot lane at level two, then I'll kill you at level one!"

"With Graves at level two and having the red buff, it's all up to JDG's bot lane duo to decide what to do!"

The atmosphere at the scene was now at its peak, with all the fans cheering wildly, while the JD.com fans looked ashen-faced.

This is a competition that's not even in the same league, okay?

I don't know how anyone at JD.com dared to spout such arrogant remarks during the trash talk segment!

"Aphelios and Thresh were about to use Flash, but luckily, Green Hair's Thresh used his Lantern at level one, and the two of them flew down into the Dragon Pit, temporarily escaping disaster!"

Watching JD.com flee in panic, the Edg team members went back to their respective homes. The commentators looked at each other for a long time, and they were all somewhat silent.

"Edg's momentum has picked up! In this wave, Kanavi's Trundle can't even gank, his jungle has been completely devoured by Graves. For the next few minutes, Trundle will be completely dominated by Graves!"

A classic "graves-style invasion level 1 play" completely stunned everyone at JD Gaming.

As the commentators said, although both the top and mid lanes lost a wave of minions, Edg's move completely disrupted Trundle's rhythm. Without Trundle, how could Renekton and Azir dare to wander into Graves' jungle, let alone Trundle make any moves?

Kanavi's mentality was a bit shattered at this moment. He was supposed to be the backbone of JD.com in this game, and everyone had to work in sync with his rhythm. But unexpectedly, he lost his Flash and gave away the first blood in just two minutes.

Similarly, JD Gaming's bot lane duo, Thresh, lost Flash and also lost a wave and a half of the side lane. Greenmao was once again trapped in the bot lane, making it difficult to cooperate with Kanavi to invade and make plays. This was really detrimental!

A Thresh paired with Aphelios simply can't push the lane as well as Yuumi and Miss Fortune.

After being pinned under the tower, Green Hair had no Flash available, making it virtually impossible for him to use his E to return and follow up with Miss Fortune's Q.

"JD.com planned everything meticulously, only thinking about how well they would perform, but they didn't consider how well the other team would play!" A comment from a netizen immediately amused all the viewers watching the live stream.

Before the match, Redmi set up a seemingly perfect trap to ambush this Graves pick.

However, just because Edg did something out of the ordinary, they turned JD.com into a sieve with holes on all sides.

At the same time, this is also the biggest drawback of the so-called "invincible in civil war".

In civil war, the key is to be steady, cautious, and methodical.

If you encounter a strong opponent who doesn't play by the rules, you can easily be defeated.

Edg's repeated failures in the World Championships are a good example. Unfortunately, Loken was not ashamed but proud, thinking that being invincible in domestic competitions was a compliment to himself. At this point, he naturally became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
