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

Chapter 199 suggests that Brother Leg play on his phone for a while!

"Hehe, the first three melee minions on the top lane are still alive, so Zhou Shen might get some experience!" Miller chuckled.

He continued, "Furthermore, even if both top laners miss experience, Rumble will still be at a greater disadvantage!"

"Even if Darius's items are a bit lacking, as long as he can trigger Bloodrage, he's still incredibly strong. Rumble, on the other hand, relies more on farming! Darius doesn't need to farm as much as Rumble. If they both starve themselves, Zhou Shen can definitely afford to hold out!"

The comical behavior surrounding the WE Stone Beetle camp drew bursts of laughter from the audience.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen someone play a game like Zhou Shen!" Ji De said.

“This is my first time too!” Miller added, “I saw Darius blocking the triangular bush and refusing to leave, and you know what that made me think?”

"What?" Remember and Rita said at the same time.

“Like those old-fashioned bandits, if they wanted to pass through here, they had to leave some money! If 957 doesn’t give Zhou Shen some money to pass through today, he can forget about getting through!” Miller said with a smile.

Like the commentators, most of the viewers in the live stream had never seen a game played like this before, and the chat was flooded with comments.

[Toll? Rambo doesn't have the money to pay that; he spent his 500 coins on equipment before even leaving the gate!]

No money? You want to go even though you have no money?

Why didn't Rumble just give Darius first blood?

[Got it, the toll is four hundred yuan, right? That's exactly the price of a first kill!]

[Damn it, I can't take this anymore! How can anyone play games like this? If I were Leg Bro, I'm calling the police!]

[Hello, 110? There are highway robbers blocking the road!]

[I feel like the thing Leg Bro regrets most this Spring Split is that he just helped Lee Sin farm jungle monsters!]

[Sure, not helping Lee Sin jungle was fine until now, which is why it's causing this problem!]

[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard I almost peed myself! Where's Xiye? What's he doing? Why isn't he helping the Blind Monk clear the jungle?]

【.】

Back to the game.

On the big screen, Zhou Dian's Darius once again forced Rumble to take two steps back before turning around and retreating.

This time, Darius was finally released directly.

Seeing this, many WE audience members in the audience couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The invisible pressure that had been weighing on my heart has dissipated considerably.

However, viewers could see from God's perspective that Darius had indeed left.

But he can't see 957!
Rambo remained huddled in the back, too afraid to move.

It wasn't until Darius passed through the red team's top lane tri-bush again, and was spotted by the trinket ward inside the bush, that he really headed towards the top lane.

957 then maneuvered Rambo to his own second top tower, onto the top lane, and headed towards the first tower.

Because the movement speed of the minions on the side lanes had not yet increased during this period, the time it took for the top lane minions to converge was more than ten seconds slower than the time it took for the F6 to refresh.

So even though Darius and Rumble spent quite a while "circling the pillar" in the jungle.

When Darius reached the river mouth, the first three melee minions in the top lane had just died naturally.

Darius barely managed to gain experience from these three melee minions.

In other words, Zhou Dian annoyed Rumble at the start of the game, slowed down Rumble's arrival time, and even traded his Ghost for Rumble's Flash, yet he still didn't lose any experience in lane.

The ability to grasp various points in time is truly exceptional.

"Darius must have taken all the experience from those three front-line minions, 957 is really in trouble now," Miller said.

Soon, something even more unpleasant was about to happen.

Rambo not only lacked experience in taking down the first three minions.

Furthermore, due to being repeatedly blocked by Darius, his return time was severely delayed, and Darius also managed to secure the first bush on the top lane.

When Rumble reached his own top lane turret, Darius also emerged from the bush.

As a result, Rumble was cornered by Darius in front of his own top tower.

In this position, if Darius and Rumble fight, they won't attract the aggro of the red team's minions.

Therefore, Rumble at level one didn't dare to cross the line at all and could only obediently stay in front of the tower.

957 tentatively controlled Rambo to fire an electronic harpoon (E).

However, Darius dodged it with a nimble movement.

As Rumble moved to a different spot and was blocked by Darius again, the audience burst into laughter once more.

In the commentary booth, Ji De also couldn't hold back and said:

"Leg Bro is having a really tough time. He got blocked in front of the tower at level 1, and almost all of the first wave of minions died, but he didn't get any experience at all!"

At this point, the first wave of minions was almost dead, and both top laners still had zero CS (creep score).

However, even though Darius didn't last-hit any minions, he still gained all the experience points.

Rambo didn't finish off any enemies or gain any experience points.

It wasn't until the second wave of minions arrived in the top lane that Rumble followed his own wave of minions, leaving the small area in front of the top tower and pushing his position forward a bit.

Rumble finally had a chance to use his E skill to last-hit minions.

But would Zhou Dian let Rambo have his way?
Because of the first wave of minions, Darius only farmed experience and didn't last-hit minions.

This resulted in the top lane minion wave still being in the middle, without moving forward at all.

Rumble just got his first last hit and first experience point of the game with his Electronic Harpoon (E).

Darius is level two!
Zhou Dian immediately controlled Darius to dart into the bushes on the top lane.

Rumble had already used up his wards, so he had no wards left and couldn't see what was happening in the bushes on the lane.

This means that whenever Darius dives into the bush at the front of the lane, Rumble has to retreat.

Otherwise, if Darius comes out of the bush and closes the distance between him and Rumble...

He's definitely going to get a beating.

Therefore, 957 could only maneuver Rambo backward.

However, the minion wave on the top lane is still in the middle position.

Rambo stepped back slightly and was out of the experience zone, unable to gain any experience points.

The other lanes, however, were mostly peaceful at the start of the game.

Therefore, the observers focused their attention on the top lane throughout the game. As a result, the scenes of Rumble being relentlessly exploited by Darius after he came online were all captured by the audience.

[This observer is targeting 957, right? They keep focusing on the top lane, hahaha!]

I reckon Leg Bro is numb!

[My legs go numb just watching the game on screen, and Leg Guy is getting completely crushed up there, how could he not feel numb?]

This is unbelievable! This is the LPL finals, not a Silver-level game on the Chinese server. How could this kind of performance happen?

[I've never seen anything like this before – the lane was controlled on the very first wave after the game launched!]

[I suggest you play on your phone for a while, since you have nothing else to do!]

[Great idea! From now on, when I play top lane and the lane gets controlled, I'll just play on my phone!]

To be honest, the current situation on the road is entirely 957's own doing!

[Indeed, if I saw Darius crouching in the tri-bush, I should have just chickened out and gone around! Instead, I went in and used my E on Darius, and now I've lost Flash and am missing out on experience. If I hadn't been so impulsive as to engage Darius and had just gone around to lane, I'd only be slightly pressured now!]

[Oh, you're so good at talking, why don't you go up and fight?]

[Just to be honest, I can't compare to professional players, but I definitely know more about the game than you mindless, die-hard fans!]

【.】

The live stream chat was filled with complaints.

At this time, 957 was suffering terribly under pressure.

I couldn't help but complain a few words in the team voice chat.

The Blind Monk was currently attacking the three wolves.

Upon hearing this, Condi said, "Don't rush me, Leg Bro, let's hold on a little longer. I'll go gank the bot lane first."

"By the way, Leg Bro, don't be stubborn. If you can't get the experience, that's fine, but don't trade your health for last hits. Graves farms upwards, and if Rumble's health isn't high enough, he'll get overtaken in a bit."

957 nodded: "I understand, don't worry!"

Rambo was already in a bad situation because of Zhou Dian, but it shouldn't have been this bad.

957's decision was indeed based on the jungler's perspective; his own jungler was farming the bottom lane, while the enemy jungler was farming the top lane.

Not daring to lose any health, Rumble retreated whenever Darius pushed forward.

The only advantage of doing this is that Rambo is still at full health.

Even if you miss out on too much experience and your level drops.

However, if Graves comes to tower dive in the top lane, LGD's top and jungle players will not be able to successfully dive down a full-health Rumble.

Even LGD's top laner and jungler, who are at level three, are facing a Rumble who is one level above them.

Because of Graves, tower diving is a bit abstract.

The opponent only needs to circle around the turret to avoid most of Graves' damage.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the Demoness has teleportation.

Even though Rumble was at full health, he was still killed by LGD's top and jungle players who relentlessly attacked him with damage.

It can also hold out until the Demoness teleports down.

At that time, LGD's top and jungle players will definitely be tanking the tower until they are low on health, making it easy for LeBlanc to pick off a double kill.

Therefore, a fully healed Rumble faces no risk or pressure from being tower-dived.

As long as Condi can get things done in the bot lane.

Therefore, 957's extreme resilience at the start is valuable.

As the top lane minions slowly pushed forward, Darius could no longer block Rumble's tower and exert extreme pressure. The observers also began to switch their view to other lanes.

Condi's Lee Sin had just finished clearing the wolves and reached level three.

Without taking the blue buff, Lee Sin went straight to the bottom half of the river.

The Blind Monk didn't attack the river crab, but continued forward, eventually crouching in the bottom lane tri-bush of the blue team LGD.

imp and PYL were completely unaware and continued their normal laning phase online.

The blind monk crouched in the grass for a full ten seconds.

They waited until both sides engaged in a fierce battle in the bottom lane, resulting in a significant exchange of health.

Braum used his E skill, Shield, before emerging from the bush.

Using his ward to leap over the thick wall in front of him, Lee Sin arrived behind LGD's bot lane duo.

He immediately raised his hand and unleashed a Heavenly Sonic Wave (Q).

When Imp saw the Blind Monk suddenly flank him, he got a little anxious and couldn't control himself for a moment.

Upon seeing Lee Sin use his Q, imp immediately used Flash.

A flash of yellow light streaked across the sky, and Varus flashed backward.

Then, the sonic wave accurately hit Varus after he flashed.

"Predicted Q!" Miller exclaimed.

"Condi's Lee Sin landed a perfectly timed Q on Imp who had just flashed!" Remember shouted along.

On the large screen at the scene.

Lee Sin used his second Q to fly to Varus's side, then used his E skill to slam the ground, slowing Varus down.

imp quickly used his healing ability to create space and ran towards the tower.

Varus is not far from his own bottom lane turret.

However, WE acted decisively, with Lee Sin and Ashe immediately using Flash to follow up.

Varus had barely entered the tower when he was already killed by A.

The kill was secured by the Blind Monk.

First Blood!
The game notification sound for First Blood echoed throughout the entire arena.

A huge cheer erupted from the audience.

Rumble was constantly being chased away by Darius, which made many WE fans at the scene extremely frustrated.

At this moment, Condi's Lee Sin ganked bot lane and successfully secured the first blood on Varus, also contributing a top-tier predicted Q that could be featured in a highlight reel.

The WE fans at the scene were finally able to hold their heads high and cheered loudly!
