Chapter 178 Zhou Dian avoids laning, Mouse buy one get one free!

After the crocodile was caught and killed by LGD's mid and jungle, Mouse naturally wanted to retaliate.

He wanted to call his mid and jungle players—Rengar and Ryze—to come to the top lane to counter Yasuo.

Zhou Dian certainly noticed that Mouse had this idea.

On the surface, it seems that Yasuo would have a hard time surviving such a forced tower dive unless his teammates were counter-ganking.

The main reason is the unique nature of Ryze's ultimate, which allows EDG's mid and jungle to easily flank and gank Yasuo.

This left Yasuo with nowhere to retreat.

Fortunately, at this stage, Wei Shen's Taliyah played quite well in the laning phase.

It can effectively restrain Ryze, preventing him from roaming easily.

But faced with the crocodile becoming aggressive once again, Zhou Dian also felt that this couldn't go on.

The main issue is that Yasuo hasn't reached a point where he can beat Renekton yet.

We need to find a way to avoid the crocodiles.

Otherwise, if EDG's mid and jungle gank top lane again, it will be a real disaster.

In this situation, Zhou Dian is in a passive position.

He can't possibly have his mid and jungle players constantly watching the top lane and his Yasuo.

Therefore, to break the deadlock, we must turn the passive situation into an active one.

The main reason for these crises is that Yasuo currently cannot gain the initiative in lane against Renekton.

Yasuo still needs to develop and needs to buy some items.

Therefore, disengaging from the lane is one possible solution.

I'm not going to lane against you anymore!
If the laning phase causes certain issues, then those issues will naturally disappear!
The best way to avoid laning is, of course, to switch lanes.

But more than ten minutes have passed, so simply replacing the cable is obviously not an option.

If switching lanes doesn't work, let's try a more direct approach—switch towers!
Zhou Dian immediately called on his own bottom lane duo to come to the top lane to push the tower.

The game lasts 11 minute and 20 seconds.

The female police officer from imp returned to base to replenish her equipment.

After upgrading the policewoman's straw sandals to attack speed boots and buying two attack speed short swords.

The imp program controls the female police officer to emerge from the fountain and head straight for the road.

Meanwhile, LGD's jungler and support, Gragas and Lulu, also headed towards the top lane from the bottom jungle.

Just as the barrel and Lulu were about to reach the starting line.

LGD's mid lane is in trouble!
After pushing a wave of minions in the mid lane, Wei Shen's Taliyah also wanted to move towards the top lane.

He planned to follow the river to Shanglu.

As soon as Taliyah stepped into the river bush on the left side of the mid lane, she spotted a control ward placed by EDG in the bush.

So, Wei Shen decided to clear the true sight ward first.

However, Taliyah had only used her A skill twice.

The Rengar entered the upper river from EDG's blue buff area and appeared to the left of Taliyah.

At the same time, Ryze also closed in from the right side of Taliyah.

Taliyah was directly sandwiched between EDG's mid and jungle.

Wei Shen decisively dodged.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and Taliyah teleported over the wall and into her own red zone.

Even though the Rengar used his ultimate ability about half a minute ago, it hasn't been ready yet.

But this Flash must be used immediately.

Otherwise, it will be too late to use Flash once the Rengar has entered the bushes.

Even if Taliyah flashes over the wall, Rengar in the bush can jump over the wall and onto Taliyah.

Seeing that Taliyah flashed away so quickly, Ai Luoli knew that he had no chance this time.

So he turned the poodle around and prepared to retreat.

But Scout was unwilling to give up the pursuit of Taliyah so easily.

He felt this was an opportunity.

As it turned out, Scout's judgment was very accurate.

Ryze followed to the wall and immediately used Flash to cross the wall and enter LGD's red buff area.

I saw my mid laner flash over the wall and chase after me.

Ai Luoli immediately controlled the lion dog to turn around and continue chasing.

Ryze flashed in too quickly, blocking Taliyah between the mid-lane tower and LGD's first turret, cutting off Taliyah's path to the tower.

Taliyah can only run deep into the jungle.

After Ryze flashed over the wall, Scout immediately activated Ghost.

After activating Ghost, Ryze's movement speed increased dramatically, quickly closing the distance between him and Taliyah.

Ryze starts with Q.

When Q hits Taliyah, it's followed by the enhanced EW rune root.

Wei Shen's purification technique was very effective this time.

It neither dissipated the air nor remained trapped in one place for too long.

It's almost a purification process that resolves the issue instantly.

Rock Sparrow paused only briefly before breaking free of its restraints.

And then they ran on.

However, this time Taliyah is no longer protected by defensive towers.

No matter how quickly the cleanse is dispelled, it cannot escape the pursuit of Ryze who has activated Ghost.

Ryze, at high speed, charged straight at Taliyah.

Then came a barrage of EQEQ, interspersed with continuous basic attacks.

Ryze dodged Taliyah's Rock Slash (W) using his high movement speed.

Even though Wei Shen had tried his best to position himself and dodged Ryze's two Qs.

However, Ryze's skill cooldowns are too short, allowing him to spam his EQ combo.

Finally, Taliyah was killed by Ryze.

Throughout this kill, Rengar simply followed behind Ryze without contributing any damage.

This was a solo kill!

"Scout made a really decisive play, using Flash and Ghost to solo kill GodV's Taliyah!"

From the commentary booth, Hao Kai shouted loudly.

The EDG fans at the scene cheered.

And in LGD's team voice chat.

After being killed by Ryze, Wei Shen immediately exclaimed, "My bad, my bad! I shouldn't have gone into the river!"

Wei Shen did indeed act a bit rashly in this move.

If he didn't know Rengar's location, even if he wanted to get close to the top lane, he should have gone into his own jungle.

Instead of just walking carelessly along the riverbed.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian immediately said, "It's alright, it's alright, this is a good deal!"

His statement that "it's not a loss" was not just a casual remark to appease Wei Shen.

It's actually a worthwhile trade-off. Ryze was chasing Taliyah all the way with Ghost.

Wei Shen isn't the kind of person who just takes a beating without fighting back.

Taliyah kept using her Q skill to attack Ryze while running away.

Ryze was constantly dealing damage while tanking Taliyah's Q skill.

Taliyah managed to cancel out two of Ryze's Q abilities in a row.

Therefore, Ryze wasted a lot of time chasing Taliyah.

Naturally, they also took more damage from Taliyah's Q skill.

Although he still managed to solo kill Taliyah.

But Ryze only had 20% health left.

At this health level, Ryze cannot immediately support the top lane.

At this moment, on the top lane, Zhou Dian, along with three teammates, had already pushed the red team's minion wave into EDG's top lane tower.

LGD's top, bottom, jungle, and support players are relentlessly attacking EDG's top lane tower.

The turret's health is dropping very quickly.

Mouse's crocodile was standing behind the tower, watching LGD's four players push the tower, and he was extremely anxious.

Holy crap, Zhou Dian, what do you mean by this?

The last wave of two people wasn't enough, and this wave they've already shaken three?
At the same time, Mouse also realized something.

LGD is planning to take down their top tower so that Yasuo can avoid laning against their Renekton and focus on farming!
Mouse doesn't play Yasuo.

But he also knew that Yasuo was a champion who could be easily developed.

Once you have two or three pieces, your Crocodile will be no match for you in a 1v1 situation.

Damn, you're pulling this stunt, aren't you?

I haven't had enough of dominating the lane with Renekton yet!
Mouse was really worried now.

He was well aware of the gap in developmental ability between himself and Zhou Dian.

If you break away from the lane so early.

It might not be long before, when they meet again, his crocodile will be no match for Yasuo.

But he had no other options.

Faced with LGD's four-man tower-destroying squad, he could only watch from behind.

Just then, Meiko's voice came through Mouse's headphones.

"Mouse, go up and clear out the minions, stall them a bit, let's see if we can take the first tower!"

This happened long before LGD's four players started attacking EDG's top lane tower.

EDG's bot lane duo had already pushed the minion wave into LGD's bot lane tower.

At this point, both sides are racing to meet the deadline.

Let's see who can take down the first tower in this game.

However, two people can't defeat a tower as many as four.

Even though EDG's bot lane duo started pushing the tower first, their tower-destroying progress was quickly caught up by LGD's top lane quartet.

However, the economic value of the first tower is not low.

Meiko didn't want to give up the first tower to LGD so easily.

So he had Mouse drag the lane a bit.

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Mouse glanced at the LGD four-man team that was attacking the tower.

Considering that crocodiles are quite tough at this time of year, one might expect them to be quite resilient.

With EDG's top tower down, there aren't many minions left on the red side.

All the Crocodile needs to do is activate his ultimate, E, and then use Q to clear out the remaining LGD minions under the tower.

Then the second segment E returns.

This is highly feasible!

Meiko's command, coupled with Mouse's own eagerness to hold onto the top tower.

Mouse immediately made the decision to go up and clear out the minions.

The crocodile stepped forward, activated its ultimate ability, used its E skill to move forward, and then used its red-rage Q skill to instantly kill all the red minions under the tower.

then
There's no after that!

When Zhou Dian saw the crocodile unleash its ultimate attack, he immediately shouted, "Brother Dan, ram him!"

So, just as the crocodile unleashed his EQ combo...

The barrel's large belly pressed against the crocodile's body.

The Flesh Bomb Impact (E) directly stuns the crocodile.

then.

It's Lulu's Polymorph, Caitlyn's Traps, Yasuo's Wind Walk, and Gragas's Ultimate.

They all targeted the crocodile.

Even though LGD's heroes haven't dealt much damage yet, the Renekton is at his most durable.

However, LGD's four-man tower-destroying team used a series of crowd control skills, causing the Crocodile to die instantly without even moving.

The alligator's head was taken by Imp's policewoman.

This is a kill that can be achieved at the weekly peak.

However, Yasuo sheathed his weapon at the last moment, giving the kill to the female police officer.

Imp abandoned the bottom lane and painstakingly ran to the top lane.

We have to give them something in return.

Of course, this tower swap was actually a win-win situation for LGD's bot lane.

Because after about ten minutes, the policewoman started to lose her edge.

EDG's bot lane duo of Varus and Karma remains strong.

After this tower swap in the top and bottom lanes, imp's Caitlyn also avoided a disadvantageous laning phase.

Replacing lines or towers to weather a period of weakness is a fairly typical operational tactic.

EDG player seats.

After the crocodile used its Q skill, Mouse immediately pressed the E key.

However, no matter how many times Mouse pressed the E key, it didn't work.

The crocodile's second E attack just won't come out.

He could only watch helplessly as the crocodile's health bar kept dropping.

Until the screen in front of me turned black and white.

As soon as the crocodile died, the four LGD players immediately turned around and continued attacking the tower.

EDG's top tower, with its low health, was quickly destroyed by LGD's top, bottom, jungle, and support.

Just one second later.

LGD's bottom lane tower was also destroyed by EDG's bottom lane duo.

But even if it's only a second apart.

LGD secured the first tower kill in this game.

Mouse's act of risking his life to protect the first tower ultimately turned out to be a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
