Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 392 Crazy Military Training, We're Going to Catch You!

"what happened?"

The moment Canna died, SKT never expected that their top laner, who was doing well, would suddenly die at the hands of Twitch.

"Damn it, I don't know either. Wasn't the rat in the mid lane? I just started fighting the enemy Sylas, and he was right behind me. What's going on?" Canna shook her head, looking completely bewildered.

This gank was incredibly fast; the two had barely disappeared from the minimap before they were already trading blows.

When he pressed his advantage, he never expected that a rat would appear so brazenly behind him.

"Take it easy. He bought Boots of Speed, he's very fast. Don't fall for his tricks next time."

Brother Li quickly switched through his equipment inventory and said helplessly:
"Based on the speed at which the rat just went up, his movement speed should be around 600. He'll likely go back to base after this gank, so be careful in the bottom lane."

Upon hearing the sound, the captain and Effort were startled and immediately adopted a stealthy approach.

In this game, they were playing Gragas and Yasuo, a composition originally intended to push the lane and exert pressure.

But after Li Ge said that, the two started to give up the lane, immediately losing all their advantage in the lane. Instead, they were hampered as Ezreal pushed the lane into the tower.

Ezreal is harassing you under the tower, do you dare to come up?
The more aggressively Zaozi played, the more timid the SKT bot lane duo became, sensing that someone was behind them.

That's how it is sometimes. There are many reasons why a strong team is strong. An advantage in one lane can often lead to an advantage in other lanes.

Having been solo killed this time, Ornn, without Teleport, trudged heavily to the top lane alone.

"That Sylas bastard, he actually dares to keep playing like this. Damn it, looks like I'll be the scapegoat if we lose this game."

Canna thought bitterly.

They were playing well and had agreed to a normal start, but then Cuzz placed a ward and started yelling that he should rush in and steal the enemy's blue buff.

"They said the rat was a trash hero, but now it's been completely crushed."

Being caught after reaching level 3 with a level 1 TP left Canna feeling incredibly frustrated.

This time, he was determined never to play again, and even if he lost this round, he couldn't let the blame fall on him.

However.
As Ornn passed the second tower and headed towards the first tower.

He had only taken a few steps past the small patch of grass near the wall in front of the second tower when a figure that gave him a headache appeared behind him.

"Damn it, Sylas is still in my top lane! These guys are crazy! This isn't a low-elo ranked game, why are they targeting me like this?!"

Canna let out a loud shout over the voice chat, startling the other four people.

In an instant, not only did Brother Li switch his perspective, but the other three also switched their perspectives in unison.

"I found you!"

Suddenly, a small rat with a red buff appeared in front of Ornn, and as it threw down a puddle of poison, Ornn's pace was immediately slowed down.

At this point, an awkward problem arose.

Canna is positioned precisely between the first and second towers.

As he ran forward, he faced the rats' frantic shooting and Silas' relentless pursuit.

He ran backwards, managing to get rid of the rat, but then he was completely cut off from the minion wave that was almost three waves deep under the first tower.

What awaits him is the tragic fate of Sylas at level six and Ornn at level four.

"What should we do! Should I go to the first tower or the second tower!" In desperation, Canna gave the choice to her teammates.

"Let's go to the first tower, let's go to the first tower!" Before Brother Li could speak, Cuzz eagerly spoke up first.

In this wave, his excavator is already trying its best to get there. As long as Canna's Ornn can delay for a little while, he can provide support.

"it is good!"

Hearing his teammate's command, Canna steeled himself, activated his Q skill, and then charged headfirst into the tower, attempting to quickly return to the tower.

"Hey, the factory manager and Flandre are up to no good here. They're deliberately making Canna reluctant to give up this wave of minions. If you go to the first tower, you're going to die anyway!"

"Yes, Scout's Galio teleported directly here, targeting the top lane's first tower. That was amazing, absolutely amazing! Poor Canna!"

"With three people surrounding you, Canna might have a chance to survive if she ran back, but going to the first tower is just waiting to die, isn't it?"

Such a comical scene in the game made the three LPL commentators laugh out loud.

In this game, Ekko took Cleanse in order to secure powerful solo kills in the mid-to-late game, which resulted in his innate support speed being slower than Galio's.

Now that TP has been released, SKT is even more stretched thin in terms of volunteering.

No matter what sport it is, there can never be an eternal king.

This is especially true for team projects, where one person's mistake can undermine the efforts of the entire team.

A match is not just a simple comparison of raw strength; in crucial moments, mentality becomes even more important.

As achievements increase, some team members may become complacent and lose their intense desire for victory, falling into a comfort zone where defeat becomes inevitable.

The winner takes all, it has always been like this.

Esports involves frequent version updates, which places high demands on players' reaction speed, hand speed, and adaptability.

For such a world-class competition, mental fortitude, teamwork, and trust in teammates are the keys to victory.

Canna is firstly SKT, which I got through a gacha pull, and secondly, Coach Kim is highly skilled and adept at coaching top laners.

As for Canna, looking at the players who performed poorly against Vivi throughout the Spring Split, there were Kiin and Nuguri.

This fully demonstrates the gap between Canna and top top laners; Canna still has a long way to go.

This is due to his own lack of ability and experience, which leads to his unstable performance when facing top top laners, top teams, and top tournaments.

However, Canna was very lucky. The top lane meta throughout the Spring Split was relatively mild for newcomers, and the top lane environment was not too harsh.

Therefore, his strength in this spring season is primarily due to his own potential and talent, as well as the presence of a good coach, a good club, and a group of good teammates, coupled with the mitigation of external objective factors.

However, now that Canna has been targeted by someone like Li Luo, he has been reduced from a genius top laner to his original form.

"Factory manager, don't you think we'll end up making people cry if we keep doing this?"

The kill was secured by Flandre's Sylas, and Scout grinned smugly, posing for the camera.

I initially thought playing against SKT would be a tough battle, but as we played more against them, even Scout seemed to find it easier. This T1 team...
It's not Skt anymore!
Skt's glory back then was built by those legendary figures.

However, now, apart from Faker still being on the team, the remaining four teammates are completely inferior to Edg's current lineup.

"SKT seems a bit stunned right now. Clearlove is playing too well here! And Uzi's Ezreal is already 14 CS ahead of Yasuo. If this continues, even if Faker's Ekko in the mid lane is doing well, with Edg's lineup, he won't have any room to make a difference!"

"T1 is getting crushed by Edg!" Inside the Icelandic arena, the European commentators didn't care about LCK's feelings and shouted loudly, "This legendary team is getting weaker and weaker. Last year they lost to our team G2, and this year they were crushed by an LPL team. This legendary team has finally reached the end. What a pity!"

"T1 was the envy of millions of viewers before the match, but in this game, they were completely overwhelmed by Edg and had no chance to fight back. Omg! This is the world's number one region! This is the strongest team in the number one region!! The LPL region's dominance is truly terrifying!"

The commentator shouted out the situation on the field, and the audience cheered in response.

Fortunately, after this gank, Li Luo chose to return to base to replenish his equipment and start the second round of jungle farming; otherwise, Canna's situation would have been even worse.

Taking advantage of this time, SKT, seeing that the top and bottom lanes were under too much pressure, forced a lane swap.

After doing this, Yasuo was moved to the top lane to farm, and Ornn was replaced to tank the pressure under the tower with Gragas.

This lane swap alleviated some of the pressure on SKT's top and bottom lanes, but it also completely destroyed their dominance over the bottom lane.

With an Ornn and a Gragas, what can you do against Leona and Ezreal?

Isn't this just a champion anyone can play like Ezreal?

This move also proves that SKT knew less than ten minutes into the game that they couldn't compete with Edg in the early to mid-game and could only stall until Ekko and the two tanks got their items.

Even in the late game, once everyone's equipment is complete, team fights can be won based on team composition.

However, this tactical strategy, which resulted in zero damage to the enemy and even some losses for themselves, left all the viewers who were still hoping that SKT could restore the glory of the old SKT.

"SKT was forced to switch lanes by Edg at just six minutes. This is a level 6 Sylas against a level 5 Yasuo. After this, it seems that SKT will not be able to fight back for at least 25 minutes. Are they trying to drag this game into the late game?" Teacher Ji frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

At this point, Skt's situation, which was on the verge of collapse, did not deteriorate further due to the lane swap; instead, it gradually stabilized.

Although Skt chose to put Yasuo in the top lane, they completely gave up the fight for the dragon.

But at least for now, it's too much for a rat to fight the dragon alone!

"I have to say, Skt is quite clever. Their strategy here is very clear: they exploit the weakness of Twitch's slow jungle clearing speed when he builds Boots of Mobility, and then they let you take the dragon. Do you dare to take it?"

The oxygen tank also noticed the stalemate between the two sides, but at the same time, for such a top-level competition, especially for rats, he didn't know how Li Luo would play next.

Game time flew by.

The ten-minute mark arrived quickly. With the early advantage, even though he relied on farming jungle monsters, Li Luo had already acquired his jungle item.

In the current version, with a jungle item, even a champion like Twitch can take down the dragon without taking damage.

Unfortunately, strangely enough...
SKT substituted the captain and started laning in the bottom lane.

Yasuo, who was already leveled up by soloing experience in the top lane, immediately pushed the minion wave in the bottom lane after arriving, thanks to his level advantage.

but
"Edg.clearlove kills Rift Herald"

in the game.

Less than eleven minutes later, while Skt focused all their vision on the dragon, Li Luo, controlling Twitch, boldly went to the top lane and soloed the Rift Herald.

This vanguard was won entirely through courage and awareness.

After all, at this point in time, the rats are already at their weakest, and it's difficult for them to find opportunities to regain their previous form.

On the contrary, the excavator's tankiness makes it fully qualified, or rather capable, of defeating the rat in a 1v1 fight in the jungle.

This is a characteristic of heroes; even if Li Luo gains so many advantages in the early game, he cannot forcibly change it.

so.
Avoid the important and take the easy!

"Xuanjun, Scout, get ready to go in and keep catching that brat Canna. Let's see if he doesn't want to play today?"

Ornn, who had been laning in the bottom lane for so long, was only level 7, while Sylas had already reached level 9.

A difference of two whole levels cannot be compensated for by equipment, skill, or even hero traits.

So Canna could only stand far away in front of the tower, watching the minion wave with longing.

"Guys, they've taken the Rift Herald. They might be heading for the dragon or a mid-lane team fight. Be careful. I have Teleport available to come down and support."

With nothing to do while AFK farming under the tower, Canna was freed up and, imitating Faker, switched her perspective as if flying.

I'll check the push line of the bottom lane captain in a bit.

Let's take a look at Cuzz's smooth jungle clearing in a bit.

Let's check Faker's mid lane matchup later. Hmm? Where's Galio?
When Canna realized the problem, an obscure magic circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

这 是
"Huh? So you can play with rats like that? I've learned something new. In this play, Clearlove used vision to get behind Ornn and let Galio fly over. There's no vision involved in that 'fly' move?"

"My god, this strategy is pretty amazing! Galio can basically fly wherever he wants. Poor Canna!"

The teacher and the oxygen tank were stunned, watching Galio descend from the sky and start beating Ornn.

"Canna isn't even the strongest player in SKT. I feel like Clearlove has a grudge against him today, he's giving him a crazy training session!" Rita exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Military training.

This is a term that is becoming increasingly unfamiliar in the LPL (League of Legends Pro League).

Aside from the match against IG, it's rare to see other teams employing such a highly entertaining and topical style of play as military training.

Now, who would have thought that Edg would treat Skt's top laner like a pig? This wave just came from the bottom lane, and three more people came to gank him.

"Let's see if Canna can escape. First, she used her W skill to avoid Galio's R skill knock-up. Oops, that wasn't a wise move. Although you used your W skill to avoid the control, the aftercast delay of the W skill allowed Flandre to catch up and use his E skill to follow up with the control."

"Galio has used his E skill to knock up the enemy again, and he's about to use his W skill to taunt. Looks like this kill is going to be his!"

Edg.Clearlove7 killed Skt.Canna
unstoppable!

Ornn's head was taken by Li Luo again as Twitch's E skill's poison burst.

At the same time, a purple figure began to bloom in the top lane.

Edg! Bypass the Rift Herald!

It's finally time to show its terrifying fangs to the world!
