You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 168 Stop calling it "Little Cannon" and just rename it "Excavator"!

After killing Graves, Tristana calmly walked to her own tower and recalled.

At this point, the game time had only been eight minutes.

Zhou Dian also fulfilled the promise he made when picking Tristana during the draft phase.

Within eight minutes, they took down EDG's top lane tower.

Next, all he has to do is keep pushing the pace forward.

Keep pushing, keep pushing.

Push the game pace as fast as you can.

The heroes that EDG picked had absolutely no chance to develop.

LGD has now made a breakthrough in the top lane.

The next step is to break through EDG's bot lane.

First, break through the side lanes, so that EDG will be constantly restrained by the minion waves on the side lanes and exhausted.

The little cannon returned to the fountain, and its health quickly increased.

Zhou Dian bought a pickaxe for 875 yuan and then bought a pair of straw sandals.

The Tristana, who just got the first tower kill and Graves' kill, is now very fed.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money (1,500 coins) to directly draw the Storm Sword.

Zhou Dian didn't want to wait for money and delay the process.

Having the resources but not investing in equipment is the same as having no resources at all.

So he bought a pickaxe and straw sandals, making the most of his savings.

I glanced at the skill bar; Little Cannon's teleport would be ready in a few seconds.

So, the cannon, now fully healed, stayed in the fountain without moving.

Seeing this, Wang Duoduo said, "Zhou Shen, why aren't you going out? Are you waiting for money?"

Even though you've already bought the pickaxe, you can return the equipment before leaving the fountain, so you won't lose money.

Therefore, it is indeed possible for Xiaopao to "AFK" and wait for money.

At this point, the observers switched their view to the bottom lane.

LGD's bot lane duo pushed the minion wave all the way to EDG's bottom tower.

Throughout the game, EDG's bot lane duo was at a disadvantage in their laning phase.

Because of the need to switch Karma around, and also to fit the overall lineup.

Meiko was somewhat forced to pick Braum as her last pick.

Braum is a champion with a strong ability to counter-attack.

However, it lacks offensive capabilities.

Even when paired with a female police officer, it only helps to stabilize the lane.

It's unlikely that you can gain an advantage in lane against imp and PYL.

Zet doesn't have that level of skill.

Not to mention LGD's bot lane duo in this game, which was Ashe and Thresh.

This combination is very strong in the current version, especially in the laning phase.

So far, Zet's Caitlyn has been down by about ten stabs from Imp's Ashe.

EDG's bottom lane turret lost more than a third of its health.

It's a minor disadvantage!

It's not fair to say that female police officers are at a disadvantage.

But Meiko was already quite satisfied; at least the laning phase didn't go too badly.

He never expected Zet to gain an advantage when playing against LGD's bot lane.

After LGD picked Ashe, their best champion, first.

Giving Zet the Caitlyn champion was simply to take advantage of Caitlyn's inherently strong laning ability and reduce Zet's laning disadvantage.

In professional competitions.

Some people choose strong lane matchups because they want to gain an advantage and dominate the lane.

Some people choose heroes with strong laning abilities simply to compensate for their own lack of laning skills with the hero's abilities, so that their laning disadvantage can be reduced.

The same hero can be chosen by different people with vastly different initial intentions.

On the large screen at the scene.

When LGD's minion wave reached EDG's bottom tower, Eimy's Spider had already reached EDG's blue buff area.

"Are they going to make a move on EDG's bot lane? That Tristana is in the fountain, probably waiting to teleport to the bot lane!" Haokai shouted.

He glanced at the little cannon's avatar in the upper left corner of the screen and noticed that the little cannon's teleportation was about to be completed.

Spider walked past EDG's blue buff camp and when he got to the Gromp, he placed a ward through the wall on EDG's bottom lane, between the first and second towers.

As soon as the Spider placed the fake ward, all the viewers could see that LGD was clearly going to tower dive.

The eye was just inserted.

A blue teleportation vortex swirled around the eye.

It was transmitted from the little cannon.

Meanwhile, the spider, which was moving downwards, was spotted by EDG's wards in the bottom lane tri-bush as it approached the red team's bottom lane tri-bush.

But it doesn't matter anymore. LGD's four-man gank on EDG's bottom lane is a clear attempt to force their way in.

What can you do?
Although EDG had two teleports in this game—both their mid and top laners had them.

But the barrel transfer isn't finished yet.

Karma's teleportation is good, though.

Karma is being closely watched by LeBlanc, and Scout can't find an opportunity to teleport to the bottom lane.

Karma's teleportation will inevitably be interrupted by LeBlanc's chain.

Karma couldn't even sneak back into the tower to teleport.

Because LeBlanc has two dashes, WR.

Even if you retreat to the second tower and teleport, LeBlanc can quickly catch up.

If Karma teleports outside the tower.

It might not even be an interruption; you could easily be killed by the Enchantress.

EDG's remaining player is the jungler Graves.

However, Graves had just respawned and left his base, so he obviously couldn't reach the bot lane.

Upon seeing the spider, Meiko made a decisive move, ordering the AD carry to run towards the second tower with him.

This is definitely not a place to stay under the tower.

Staying under the tower means certain death.

Run towards the second tower; there's a chance to escape.

This decision was absolutely correct.

Zhou Dian just used his ultimate skill not long ago.

This means that the cannon has lost all its control skills.

Even if the de facto teleportation around has been completed, it's not good to keep anyone there.

LGD's bot lane duo couldn't keep up.

Ashe's only ranged skill—her ultimate—was only used recently.

That would mean LGD's bot lane duo is no longer there.

EDG's bot lane duo ran towards the second tower, only needing to face LGD's top and jungle duo.

This is a two-on-two match.

The little cannon teleported down and was hit by Braum's Q skill.

However, the two EDG bot laners didn't dare to keep attacking Tristana to trigger Braum's passive.

After the female police officer attacked the small cannon, she kept running towards the second tower.

At this moment, Zhou Dian's little cannon made a move that seemed a bit strange.

He doesn't use any skills. The little cannon just sits there attacking the female police officer.

But Bronn, who was next to the policewoman, raised his shield.

The small cannon couldn't even hit the policewoman.

"Hey, without its ultimate, it seems like it's not easy for Tristana to keep enemies in place!" Hao Kai commented.

This time, Haokai learned from his previous two mistakes of drawing rash conclusions and being proven wrong.

I no longer dare to question "Why isn't the cannon using its skills?"

I simply stated the facts as they were happening in the game.

In the LGD team voice chat.

Seeing EDG's bot lane duo running towards the second tower, Eimy said urgently, "Zhou, just jump right in front of them! Hold on a second, I can use Flash to Cocoon!"

As he spoke, Eimy's spider turned around and chased after him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian quickly said, "Don't Flash E! Don't Flash E!"

He didn't have time to say anything more.

It only stopped Eimy's impulse to use Flash E to hold someone in place.

Eimy was somewhat puzzled.

But he always believed what Zhou Dian said.

Therefore, the idea of ​​using Flash + E to keep the enemy in place was abandoned.

The spider was just following behind.

As for Zhou Dian's Tristana, she didn't use her W skill to jump on Caitlyn and Braum in an attempt to slow them down.

And so, the policewoman and Bloom slipped past the little cannon.

Eimy was about to complain, "Are we just going to let the policewoman off like that?" when she heard Zhou Dian's words:

"Turn around, Dan, let's take the tower!"

Eimy dragged the mouse and looked behind the spider.

Good guy!
imp and PYL didn't catch up at all.

Ashe and Thresh were really into attacking that tower.

Eimy finally understood Zhou Dian's intention.

With Xiaopao's teleport down, LGD launched a four-man gank on the bottom lane.

The primary objective is to take down EDG's bottom lane tower.

They're not here to kill anyone.

Of course, adults all want "I want it all".

However, it would be good if they could kill EDG's bot lane duo.

But when you can't have it all, you have to make choices.

Zhou Dian and Eimy were positioned between EDG's first and second bottom lane towers.

EDG has another ultimate defensive hero – Braum.

It takes a lot of effort to get a kill.

Furthermore, it will waste a lot of time.

It's worth noting that EDG's mid and jungle players, one from the mid lane and the other from their base, are desperately rushing over.

Even if the policewoman is killed.

They might get killed by Karma and Graves who arrive at the scene.

Because EDG's mid and jungle players have all their skills available right now.

Even if no one dies, once everyone is crippled, EDG's mid and jungle can still defend the bottom lane tower.

Both Graves and Karma can clear minion waves from a distance.

Furthermore, its ability to clear out enemy troops is quite good.

Therefore, Zhou Dian's idea is:

It would be better to just make a show of it and let EDG's bot lane duo leave.

Before Graves and Karma arrive, quickly push down EDG's bottom lane tower.

PYL and Zhou Dian share the same idea.

So he and Imp never chased after them from the beginning.

The two had already started attacking the tower.

The policewoman and Braum ran past Tristana and returned to their own bottom lane second turret.

The little cannon immediately used a rocket jump (W) to jump back to the side of EDG's bottom lane tower.

Together with the spider, they participated in pushing the tower.

At this point, EDG's bottom tower still had half its health remaining.

Karma and Graves are almost there in the bottom lane.

"Zhou Shen only made a token stop, and actually let Zet and Meiko go!"

Wang Duoduo continued, "The cannon has turned its gun around to push the tower. LGD's objective is very clear: I may not kill anyone, but I must push the tower!"

"This defensive tower should be there!" Hao Kai concluded immediately.

At this moment, LGD had their top, bottom, jungle, and support players pushing the tower together.

It also includes two marksmen, Ashe and Tristana.

The little cannon's Explosive Spark (E) hits the turret, then activates Q for increased attack speed and unleashes a barrage of auto-attacks on the turret.

Ashe also uses her Q skill to attack towers, and Elise has her W skill to increase attack speed.

Of the four people, three have skills that can accelerate the pushing of towers.

That tower-pushing speed is simply incredible.

In just a few seconds, when Karma and Graves reached the bottom lane, EDG's bottom lane tower had already fallen.

"This tower-destroying speed is too fast!" Hao Kai exclaimed.

"It's only been eight minutes, and LGD's top and bottom lane towers are already gone. How are they supposed to farm with this farming composition?"

"EDG's rhythm has completely collapsed!"

They destroyed two defensive towers, giving LGD an economic lead of over 2,000 gold.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that EDG's disadvantage isn't just the 2,000 gold difference.

Instead, the rhythm was completely disrupted, and the overall lineup had no room to develop.

They're probably going to be crushed by LGD's fast push.

After taking down EDG's bottom lane tower, the LGD players did not recall to base.

Instead, they suddenly grouped up and launched a surprise attack on the mid lane.

Although EDG quickly retreated to defend the mid tower, Karma even teleported back to the mid lane.

However, EDG's mid tower was still managed to be hit twice by each of LGD's five players.

Five people are still too many.

One player attacked the tower twice, reducing EDG's mid-lane tower to half health.

The LGD players, who quickly dispersed after touching the turret a couple of times, displayed a reckless and opportunistic attitude, which was far too aggressive.

Wang Duoduo couldn't hold back her excitement.

He laughed and said, "Zhou Shen's little cannon is like a demolition crew, tearing things down wherever it goes!"

"In my opinion, when Zhou Shen plays the hero Tristana, he shouldn't be called 'Little Cannon' anymore; he should just be renamed 'Excavator'!"

“No problem!” Hao Kai nodded with a smile. “Rek’Sai can only dig tunnels, but Tristana can dig up turrets. That’s a real excavator!”

Back to the game.

Several LGD players returned to base to replenish their supplies.

The Rift Herald is about to be farmed; we need to prepare the Herald team.

With the first strike, they pushed down EDG's mid-lane tower.

This game is practically won.
