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

Chapter 280 Little Peanut, huh? You can just hang out with your Brother Zhou!

"This is a matter of individual differences, and has nothing to do with heroes!"

Neither Doll nor Miller expected this at all.

Rita, who has always been a quiet, decorative figure in the commentary booth.

Such a witty remark would suddenly pop out.

The two of them couldn't hold back for a moment and burst out laughing.

"Ahem, you can't say that!" The doll suppressed a laugh.
He continued, "It's mainly a matter of condition. Huni does look worse than Zhou Shen!"

“Yes!” Miller nodded in agreement. “I feel like Zhou Shen is on fire right now!”

After all, this is the official commentary booth.

Even if the players aren't from your own region, you shouldn't tease them too much.

During this period, the LPL region did not perform well.

But there are still some bottom lines.

However, official commentators should be mindful of the appropriate level of language used.

Online viewers in the official LPL livestream didn't care about any of that.

Rita's sudden witty remarks.

The comments in the live stream were overwhelmingly in agreement.

To be honest, there's really nothing wrong with it!

It really is a human problem; it has nothing to do with heroes anymore!

[No way, I think heroes are still pretty important. Getting countered makes the game a bit harder!]

But frankly, in League of Legends, does counter-picking really matter that much? Ultimately, it all comes down to your ID!

Indeed, some of these IDs just aren't good enough!

For example

Uzi is no good!

[I'm truly impressed by you guys; how did you manage to suddenly pull in Uzi?]

【.】

Right now, on the SKT players' bench.

They just went through a major failure in their restructuring efforts.

Huni's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He wanted to call for the jungler.

Of course, he didn't even need to ask.

Olaf has arrived.

When Peanut saw the situation on the top lane, he knew he couldn't farm like he did in the previous two games.

If we keep farming like this, our top laner is bound to explode.

Huni, no matter whether he picks first or second, he can't beat that guy on the other side.

Is it because that kid on the other side is too good?
Or is Huni just too bad?
The minion wave is currently under LGD's top turret.

You definitely can't catch Gnar.

However, Olaf can now enter LGD's blue buff area and put pressure on the enemy top laner Gnar.

As long as the jungler puts real pressure on the enemy, making them hesitant in lane.

That's already a real help to their own online community.

It doesn't necessarily mean that going online to gank is helping your teammates.

After clearing his own red buff and F6 camp, Olaf arrived at LGD's blue buff area.

I just arrived at the Blue Buff camp.

They ran right into the Lee Sin who had just finished clearing his own wolves.

The Blind Monk only has a little over half health left.

Upon encountering Olaf, who was nearly at full strength, Eimy immediately turned and ran away with Lee Sin.

This guy is no match for Olaf at all, why keep him around if he's not going to run!

Anyway, there are no monsters left in the blue zone right now.

There was no loss even if they ran away.

After Lee Sin left the blue buff area and arrived at his own top second turret, Eimy pressed the B key to recall.

However, the Blind Monk had just started recalling and resetting.

Eimy then remembered something.

He left like this, so it wasn't entirely without loss.

The Blind Monk indeed suffered no loss.

However, Zhou Dian's Gnar might have a tough time.

“Brother Zhou, I’m done, be careful not to get violated!” Eimy quickly said.

In this round, Eimy chose to make things comfortable for himself, while Zhou Dian had to suffer.

Lee Sin needs to hurry back to base to replenish his supplies. Right now, he's hanging on top lane protecting Gnar, which is slowing down his rhythm and wasting time.

After all, Gnar is in pretty good form.

The chances of being tower-dived are not particularly high.

On the other hand, Zhou's laning fundamentals are truly solid.

If Gnar didn't play well in the laning phase and his health is low right now...

He's definitely not going to make it back to town.

You have to stay in the top lane to protect Gnar from being tower-dived.

Back to the game.

The Lee Sin was only halfway through the recall countdown.

Peanut's Olaf chased LGD all the way to their top second tower.

Olaf threw an axe, interrupting the Lee Sin's recall animation.

Eimy had no choice but to control the Lee Sin to continue retreating.

After retreating deep into the second tower, I pressed the B key again to return to town.

And this time.

Inside LGD's top tower, all the red team's minions had been finished off by Gnar.

The blue team's minion wave has moved out of the range of LGD's top tower.

Head back towards the middle of the road.

For Gnar, the top lane minion wave has moved out.

This wouldn't have been a big deal.

Because Gnar has already established a health advantage over Yasuo.

But now, the top lane minions have already gone out.

Gnar can no longer go out to farm minions and last hit minions.

Because our jungler, Lee Sin, recalled to base.

Meanwhile, the enemy jungler Olaf was clearly in LGD's blue buff area.

Now that Gnar has moved out with the minion wave, he's far from the range of his own top tower.

It's hard to guarantee that an Olaf with Sprint activated won't suddenly appear from behind.

Go inside the tower and kill a Gnar who is almost at full health.

Little Peanut certainly wouldn't do that.

But he was just using the enemy's defensive turret as a route to gank Gnar.

If you can withstand some tower damage, you'll have a much higher chance of catching Gnar.

Little Peanut was still happy to do it.

After instantly understanding these key points.

Zhou Dian directly controlled Gnar to leave his own top lane turret and head towards the top turret.

Anyway, there's no way I can go out and farm minions anymore.

What's the point of staying hanging in this tower? Why not go somewhere else and maybe accomplish something?

the other side.

Notice that Gnar did not emerge with the blue team's minion wave.

Peanut understood that Zhou Dian had probably given up farming minions to ensure he wouldn't get caught in this wave.

"Damn, how come this kid is playing so cautiously? Wasn't he playing pretty aggressively before?" Little Peanut thought to himself.

In Peanut's opinion.

Since Gnar chose to stay inside the first tower for safety.

Then there's no need for him to waste his time here.

After controlling Olaf, he retreated into the bushes next to the Blue Buff camp.

Peanut pressed the B key to return to base.

Little Peanut has maintained a very good habit here.

Even when you're in the enemy's half of the map, it's best not to recall to your base in open areas.

There might be enemy spies around the place where you return to town.

Let's find some bushes to crawl into before heading back to town.

This significantly reduces the chances of being discovered.

Of course, at this moment, there wasn't a single ward from LGD in the entire upper jungle of the blue side.

Whether Olaf goes into the bush to recall or not, LGD can't see him anyway.

It makes no difference.

Just as Olaf was counting down to recall.

Zhou Dian's Gnar is almost at his own second top tower.

However, Gnar stopped just as he reached the level of the bushes in front of the second tower.

In the commentary box.

Seeing this, the doll asked with some confusion, "What are you doing here, Nar?"

"They're not trying to interrupt Olaf's recall, are they?" Miller added.

Right after Miller said that.

At this very moment, the observers switched the view from the God's-eye view to the view of the blue team, LGD.

From the perspective of the blue team.

The entire LGD blue zone was pitch black.

There was no way to see Olaf recalling to base in the bush next to the blue buff.

“Zhou Shen can’t see Olaf at all! Could he be trying to find Olaf’s location?” Miller guessed again.

"Very likely!" Doll nodded. "Right now, Zhou Shen doesn't know Olaf's location, so he doesn't dare go back to farm lanes!"

"From God's perspective, we see Olaf heading back to the city, but Zhou Shen certainly doesn't know that."

"This is a bit upsetting. Ugh, I'm so annoyed! I really let Little Peanut fool me!"

“There’s no way!” Miller shook his head. “This is an open conspiracy. If you were playing Gnar, would you dare to gamble on whether Olaf had actually left the vicinity of top lane?”

"I wouldn't dare gamble on that!"

"If we really lose the gamble, Olaf doesn't leave, and Gnar goes out to farm and gets caught and killed, without teleport, we'll just collapse!"

"At times like this, you have to endure it whether you want to or not! Fortunately, Zhou Shen seems to be able to endure and keep his composure!"

Miller's last sentence was quite right.

Zhou Dian really didn't want to hold back at this moment, but he had to hold back and couldn't go out.

However, he cannot let his patience go to waste.

When Zhou Dian plays games, he never accepts losing money all by himself.

We have to find a way to get something back.

It is this "vengeful" nature that gives Zhou Dian a powerful carry ability that other top laners do not possess.

The word "loss for nothing" does not exist in his dictionary.

According to Zhou Dian.

At this moment, Peanut's Olaf has only two possible behaviors.

First, Olaf is still lingering in LGD's blue buff area.

We just wait for Gnar to go out and farm in lane, then we go and gank Gnar.

In this situation, Olaf and Gnar are just spinning their wheels and wasting time.

I do nothing, and you do nothing either.

If Gnar and Olaf both lose money, Zhou Dian can barely accept it.

Anyway, Zhou Dian can endure it to the end, so you and Xiao Huasheng can just go AFK together.

Another possibility.

Peanut simply chose to return to the city.

They used this potential for ganking to scare Zhou Dian.

This prevented Zhou Dian's Gnar from farming lanes, causing him to continuously lose minions and experience.

He then returned to the city to resupply and went about his business, not wasting a single moment.

After careful consideration, I realized...

Zhou Dian felt that the second possibility was more likely for Peanut.

If the enemy jungler is Mlxg, then the first scenario—camping all the way to the end—is more likely.

When playing a match, you should also choose a strategy that suits the opponent's personality.

Sometimes, it can produce some surprisingly good results.

Since he thought Peanut was scaring him, Olaf had actually already returned to town somewhere.

Then.

What Zhou Dian needs to do now.

It means interrupting Olaf's recall.

Little Peanut, huh? You can just hang out with your Brother Zhou and AFK!

They wanted to interrupt Olaf's recall.

The first thing to know, of course, is Olaf's recall location.

This seems unlikely to be possible.

The entire LGD blue buff area is so large that Olaf can recall from any location.

How can you tell where Olaf is recalling if there's no vision in the entire blue zone?

We can't exactly crawl inside to look for it!
Gnar definitely shouldn't go into the jungle at this point.

Otherwise, if Olaf catches him, he can use Ghost to solo kill Gnar in the jungle.

Actually, this problem is difficult in some ways.

It's not that difficult, but it really isn't that hard.

Let's start by looking at the contestants' personalities.

Peanut has always had a very aggressive and fierce jungling style since his debut, but his jungling style has become more restrained after he joined SKT this year.

However, Peanut is essentially a typical South Korean player.

It possesses the characteristic of "excellent discipline" found in outstanding South Korean athletes.

Therefore, Olaf will most likely recall in the bushes during this wave.

There are three bushes in the entire LGD blue zone.

Olaf specifically went to recall to base in the bushes next to the left side of LGD's mid tower.
There's really no need for that.

Pure waste of time.

Is the blue team playing in the top lane's tri-bush?

Before coming down, Nar first peeked into the triangular grass.

Saw nothing.

That leaves only one clump of grass.

It's in that little patch of grass next to the Blue Buff camp!
