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

Chapter 177 When he plays top lane, he has to call for backup!

Putting aside the fact that EDG's lineup needs to accelerate in the early game.

The sooner you take down Yasuo's top lane turret, the more you can limit Yasuo's development space.

Because once you lose your first tower, you won't dare to push the minion wave out.

If you go out even a little bit, you're likely to get caught.

This will result in many minions not being able to be farmed.

Of course, there will always be some players who will risk their lives to farm lane minions.

That’s a different story!
For EDG, Zhou Dian's Yasuo was their primary target in this game.

If there's a chance to take down LGD's top lane tower early, we should definitely try.

As they pushed the lane into the tower, Scout said to Mouse, "You didn't need to flash just now, Yasuo was going to die!"

"Oh no, oh no, I'm getting a little anxious!" Mouse said quickly.

Although he verbally admitted his mistake, Mouse was thinking, "It's just a Flash, is it necessary to be so strict with my teammates?"

Mouse may have these thoughts, but he certainly wouldn't say them out loud.

He has always had a good temper and would not easily argue with his teammates.

At the same time, on LGD's side...

It looked like the EDG top, mid, and jungle trio were about to push the cannon minion wave under the tower.

Zhou Dian was getting a little anxious.

He couldn't help but be anxious; if the tower fell, his Yasuo would have a very difficult time playing.

I glanced at the barrels that were still attacking the red buff.

And Taliyah, who helps Gragas apply the red buff.

Zhou Dian immediately shouted, "Brother Dan, use Smite! God Wei, stop helping him fight, help me defend the tower!"

“OK, I’m here!” Wei Shen replied immediately.

Zhou Dian realized that the two of them were a bit confused and didn't know what they were up to.

I have to give some instructions.

After being called out by Zhou Dian, GodV quickly switched screens to check the top lane.

A wave of cannon minions has been pushed into LGD's top tower.

EDG's top, mid, and jungle players are attacking the A tower.

Wei Shen didn't hold back either, and Taliyah immediately used her ultimate to fly towards her own first tower.

Eimy, who hadn't originally planned to use Smite, was urged by Zhou Dian to quickly use Smite to kill the red buff.

Then, he maneuvered the barrel towards the top road.

Taliyah, having activated her ultimate, arrived at her own top lane turret first.

The stone wall created by his ultimate ability kept Renekton and Ryze outside, while blocking Rengar inside.

But even one Taliyah can't do anything to the Shih Tzu.

Rock Slash (W) lifted the Rengar and hit it with a combo, but didn't take away much of the Rengar's health.

Because Taliyah only has a small mask on her right now.

Once Taliyah's ultimate ability expired, Renekton and Ryze came over again, wanting to continue attacking the tower.

Fortunately, the barrel finally arrived.

Gragas unleashed his ultimate ability, blasting several EDG players apart.

Meanwhile, the blue team's minions under the tower were almost completely cleared out.

Seeing that there were no minions left, EDG's top, mid, and jungle players retreated.

In a short period of time, LGD's top lane tower had already lost more than half its health to three EDG players.

If they get messed up like this again, Zhou Dian's top lane tower will fall.

At this moment, Yasuo has been resurrected.

Zhou Dian, controlling Yasuo, headed straight for the mid lane, saying, "Wei Shen, you push the wave a bit more in the top lane, I'm going to the mid lane to farm!"

"OK!" Wei Shen nodded.

In this situation, if Yasuo goes to the top lane, Taliyah should return to the mid lane.

That means both of them are losing money.

However, if Yasuo goes to mid first, Taliyah will stay in top lane.

Then only Yasuo will lose some minions, Taliyah won't lose any.

This behavior of switching lanes and farming lanes in a short period of time is also called lane replenishment.

In this wave, Zhou Dian will definitely go to the mid lane to help with the wave.

The ability to fill in gaps is a fundamental skill.

They are frequently seen in high-ranking casual games.

Not to mention professional competitions where real-time communication is possible.

After leaving LGD's top lane.

Scout's Ryze returned to mid lane first and farmed a few minions under the tower.

Then it went into its own blue zone.

The blue buff has already been cleared; he needs to ask Rengar to help him clear it.

While Ryze went to get the blue buff, Yasuo, who came to the mid lane, quickly pushed a wave of minions.

Then head towards the upper road.

At this moment, Taliyah in the top lane took advantage of Renekton's recall to push a wave of minions to EDG's top tower.

Then return to the middle lane.

The two players' lane switch was very effective.

Even though Yasuo died once, Zhou Dian still lost out personally.

However, from the perspective of the LGD team as a whole, they managed to minimize their losses.

Of course, this is also thanks to Yasuo and Taliyah, both of whom have very fast wave clear speeds.

Switch to two heroes with slow wave clear.

Even if this lane switch is timely, the top and middle lanes will still lose a lot of minions.

Yasuo is back online.

Because he was tower-dived and killed once, Yasuo's development has fallen behind.

It's inherently difficult to fight crocodiles at this time of year.

It gets even harder after you die once.

Mouse knew that Renekton and Yasuo were evenly matched at this moment, and he continued to jerk off Zhou Dian.

The previous tower dive and kill on Yasuo had given Mouse a boost.

This greatly reduced Mouse's fear of Zhou Dian.

So, the crocodile started to lash out at Yasuo.

Yasuo had no choice but to back down and temporarily avoid the fray. For the first time, Mouse realized how satisfying it was to provoke an opponent.

As Mouse became engrossed in the game, he gradually lowered his guard.

The resilience I once relied on for survival has been completely forgotten.

They just kept pushing forward, without considering the possibility of being ganked at all.

In his view, the enemy top and jungle lanes are vulnerable, and a Yasuo who is underfarmed is not a significant threat.

A meat barrel doesn't do much damage.

He's a powerful crocodile, at his strongest, and taking on LGD's top and jungle duo in a one-on-two fight is a piece of cake for him!

All I can say is, Mouse got cocky!

He killed Zhou Dian once by calling in reinforcements.

They forgot that Zhou Dian was actually a top-tier top laner who could summon more heroes.

It's just that in today's match against EDG, so far in this game, Zhou Dian hasn't called for reinforcements much.

But that doesn't mean he won't call for backup.

It's fair to say that a top laner who can't call for help can't become a top-tier top laner.

Why play top lane if you're not calling for backup?
Any skilled top laner is adept at calling for reinforcements.

The game lasted a little over 11 minutes.

Mouse, who was having a great time pressing the lane, spotted Gragas through the vision he had from the top lane river bush.

He quickly maneuvered the crocodile backward.

Although Mouse felt that his crocodile could take on two opponents at this moment.

But that doesn't mean he's going to take on two opponents at once.

It's still a bit dangerous.

However, the crocodile had gone too far down the line and was blocked by the barrel as soon as it retreated to the middle.

The barrel rammed directly into him with a flesh-ball impact (E).

Mouse was full of confidence at this moment, and when he saw Gragas's E, he didn't rush to use his movement skill to dodge.

He actually dodged Gragas's E skill by moving in the opposite direction.

Then, the crocodile unleashed its ultimate ability, Ultimate Domination.

Mouse is ready to fight back!
At the same time, the E skill missed the barrel, and an Exploding Barrel (R) was thrown at the crocodile's feet.

The crocodile was blasted away by Gragas' ultimate, and Yasuo immediately followed up with Last Breath (R).

But just as Mouse had anticipated.

An underdeveloped Yasuo, coupled with a tanky Gragas, simply doesn't deal enough damage.

At this point in time, around ten minutes in, the crocodile's ultimate ability is still too powerful.

After the crocodile unleashed a barrage of skills, Yasuo and Gragas were clearly no match for him.

Just then, a stone curtain stretched from the riverbed all the way up to the upper road, blocking the crocodile's back.

That's Taliyah's ultimate move.

Seeing Taliyah slide down the stone curtain all the way to the top path, Mouse really panicked.

One against two is possible, but one against three is not!
The mouse wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The crocodile has already used both of his E abilities, and his Flash is still not ready.

Their escape route has been blocked by Taliyah's ultimate!
As Yasuo's whirlwind hits the crocodile, Taliyah follows up with Rock Slash (W).

LGD executed a combo that took down the crocodile, who was already at less than half health.

At the last moment, both Eimy and Wei Shen intended to stop.

The goal, of course, is to get kills.

So, Yasuo got the crocodile's head.

In the commentary box.

Seeing the crocodile killed, Haokai shook his head and said, "What was Mouse thinking? He could have left earlier, why didn't he?"

"He probably thinks he can take on two opponents at once!" Wang Duoduo chuckled. "But Zhou Shen doesn't care about sportsmanship. He not only called over the jungler, but also the mid laner!"

"A crocodile might be able to fight two opponents, but he'd definitely die in a three-on-one situation! Without Flash, Mouse really shouldn't have been so reckless!" Hao Kai added.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room of the event.

The comments section had calmed down because the situation on the field was relatively even.

As soon as the crocodile was caught and killed, it immediately became active again.

[The alligator likes to cross the line, huh? That's what it's all about!]

Mouse really got cocky. You're supposed to be a player who can withstand pressure, so just focus on that. Playing the alligator and trying to crush people—do you even understand how to play? Now you're in trouble!

"So you think you're a good fighter, Crocodile? What good is being a good fighter? In this world, it's all about brotherhood. You might be able to beat two, but do you think you can beat three?"

[Haha, I'm laughing so hard I almost peed myself! That idiot just used that line to mock Zhou Shen, and now he's getting his comeuppance!]

Come here, pork offal, say something!

[Don't be a coward, you little punk! You thought you were so tough? Turns out you're just a nobody!]

【No, what's there to be so proud of? Didn't you guys rave about how amazing Zhou Chu was? How come he needs to call for backup to play mouseplay? And two people at a time!】

[What, you're only allowed to gang up on Zhou Shen by EDG's top, mid, and jungle, but not allowed to call in reinforcements to fight back?]

[Just call for backup! Just call for backup! This pig is so angry!]

If you ask me, when he plays top lane, he has to call for backup!

[Exactly, top laners who don't call for help are all bad top laners!]

Here's something really scary: Zhou Shen's Yasuo got the crocodile's head!

[With this kill, I have a feeling the game is about to end?]

[I feel the same way. Zhou Shen's headshot is incredibly powerful; no wonder EDG fans are so anxious!]

[Sent it, just wait to get chopped up by Yasuo!]

【.】

At this moment, in the EDG players' bench.

Looking at the gray screen in front of me.

Mouse felt regret, deep regret.

How much do you regret it?
The kind of regret that makes you want to give yourself a death sentence.

What am I trying to prove by standing there like that?
Well, Yasuo got the kill.

With this kill, Yasuo, who was already having a tough time, is likely to be revitalized!

No, we absolutely cannot let Yasuo get ahead.

Otherwise, if Yasuo were to kill his own crocodile, wouldn't he be able to do it at will?
this point in time.

Although the crocodile had just died, it still possessed fighting power.

Taking advantage of the fact that the crocodile's strong period had not yet passed, Mouse decided to call for more people to tower dive and take on Yasuo.
