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

Chapter 289: Are they going to have a level 1 team fight? SKT chickened out!

The camera panned across the entire venue, sweeping over the sections of the audience seating area.

The venue was packed.

As soon as the camera panned over, the audience in each area erupted in cheers and screams.

Don’t say anything else.

The atmosphere at the match in Brazil was electric.

"LGD has an extremely late-game composition. Caitlyn, Orianna, Braum, Gragas, and Graves are all champions with very strong late-game capabilities! This lineup is ridiculously powerful in the very late game!"

"Of course, the female police officer and the male gunman are actually quite strong in the early stages of the game!" Miller said.

While waiting for the game to load, the commentators were still discussing the lineups of both teams in this game.

Upon hearing this, the child nodded, "Yes!"

"But on the other hand, SKT's lineup is like a very sharp spear!"

"In the mid-game, their ability to tear apart the opponent's formation is quite strong!"

"Furthermore, SKT's lineup deals ridiculously high damage in the mid-game!"

"That's terrifying!" Miller nodded in agreement. "Jace, Rumble, Varus, Zyra—these champions deal incredibly high damage when they have one or two core items!"

"Therefore, whether LGD can safely get through the mid-game is extremely important!"

Just saying.

The Summoner's Rift was displayed on the large screen at the scene.

The OB interface also reappears on it.

The ten heroes on both sides landed in the fountains at either end of Summoner's Rift.

After quickly buying my travel clothes...

Both players controlled their respective heroes to leave the fountain and head straight for the river.

On SKT's side, the five players immediately dispersed after leaving the fountain.

Clearly, SKT opted for a defensive formation at the start, with all five players lined up along the river.

As for LGD...

The five people immediately huddled together after leaving the spring.

Then we went down the mid lane high ground together and entered the blue buff area along the mid lane.

Then they waded into the lower reaches of the river.

Clearly, LGD is planning to invade SKT's jungle at the start of the game.

Seeing this, Wawa said, "It should be a five-man group invasion of SKT's jungle to place wards, which is a common tactic against Ivern now!"

“Yes!” Miller nodded. “The main purpose is to scout out the Emerald’s early movements and figure out its ‘vegetable-growing’ route!”

"Of course, with LGD's two marksmen and Braum, they're invincible in level 1 team fights and can completely dominate SKT's jungle!"

On the large screen at the scene.

PYL's Braum took the lead, walking at the very front.

The other four LGD players followed behind, crossing the lower half of the river and entering SKT's red zone.

At this moment, Wolf's Zyra was standing between his own F6 and Red Buff.

They saw the LGD players coming from the intersection ahead.

Wolf immediately maneuvered Zyra backward.

At the same time, Bang quickly maneuvered Varus away from his own red zone and placed him on the bottom lane.

It is definitely not possible to have a Level 1 collision with the side that has Bloom.

Meanwhile, SKT's top, mid, and jungle players quickly headed to LGD's red buff area.

It's obvious they're going to LGD's red zone to establish some vision control.

We can't let our own jungle be invaded for no reason!
After LGD's five players entered SKT's red zone...

The female police officer from imp inserted the eye of her trinket into the bushes next to F6.

Immediately afterwards, the five LGD players started "strolling" around SKT's red zone.

“I feel like it’s possible to make a trade, even the entire jungle area, we could trade with SKT!” Wawa said.

“I think it’s better to force Ivern to the blue buff here. If we don’t do anything, it feels a bit stiff!” Miller added.

"But will SKT come back or take their own red buff area?"

SKT's top, mid, and jungle players went to LGD's red buff area.

Huni's Rumble placed his ward into LGD's red buff camp.

Then, the three of them left LGD's red zone and headed straight for their own red zone.

Soon, the SKT players regrouped between their first and second mid-lane towers.

"Is SKT not planning to give up the red buff? It seems like they really aren't!"

"They've already assembled their forces and are coming over!" Miller shouted.

"But to be honest, we have Braum on our side, how could we be afraid of you at level one!" the doll immediately shouted.

On LGD's side, the two carries and the jungler have already placed their wards in SKT's red buff area.

With all three eyes placed down, it's clear that it's not simply for providing vision.

They certainly won't just leave so easily.

However, no other SKT players were seen in the red zone for a long time.

LGD is indeed preparing to withdraw first.

If we can force Ivern into the blue buff area at the start of the game, we can consider it as having achieved our goal.

It's not necessarily true that you have to counter Green's jungle monsters at the start of the game.

So, LGD's jungler, support, and bottom laner headed towards the bottom lane's tri-bush, while GodV's Orianna headed towards the mid lane.

Zhou Dian's Graves recalled to base right there in the bush behind SKT's red buff.

However, Graves had only been back in town for two or three seconds when he started counting down.

The female police officer, who had placed a ward next to F6, saw the five SKT players group up and enter their own red buff area from the entrance to the right of the second mid tower.

Immediately, LGD's jungler, support, and bottom laner turned around and quickly ducked into the bushes next to SKT's red buff.

Zhou Dian's Graves also canceled his recall and moved towards his teammates with Wei Shen.

On SKT's side, Peanut's Ivern first threw his Q skill into the bush next to his own F6 camp.

After confirming that no one was crouching inside, they waded into the bushes with their teammates.

"SKT should still go in. Ivern, use your abilities to scout the bushes first!"

"In that case, there definitely won't be any more situations where the jungle is switched!"

"But SKT, are you sure you really want to go head-to-head with LGD at level one?" Miller shouted.

"Looks like they're going to fight it out; neither side is willing to back down!" the doll added.

On the large screen at the scene.

The observer's view is firmly locked onto SKT's red zone.

At this moment, all ten players from both sides have gathered in SKT's red zone.

Furthermore, as the SKT players walked out of the bushes next to F6 and entered the vicinity of the red buff camp.

The two sides are getting closer and closer to meeting.

LGD is now in the sights of SKT's players.

However, SKT did not have vision of these LGD players.

However, SKT must have guessed that there are definitely LGD players still camping in their own jungle right now.

SKT players do have this kind of awareness.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cautious when entering their own red zone.

As SKT takes two more steps forward, the LGD player hiding in the bushes is about to make his move.

At that moment, Bang's Varus placed the trinket ward in his own red buff camp.

then
All five members of SKT turned around and left.

They've withdrawn!

A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd. Everyone was eagerly anticipating a fierce clash between your level one teams.

How come the rain has suddenly stopped and the sun is shining?
"Ah... SKT chickened out after all! Hehehehehe~~~"

Miller tried his best to hold it in, but he couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

With SKT withdrawing, LGD's Zhou Dian and Wei Shen also quickly withdrew.

The minion wave is about to reach the lane, so they need to hurry up and go farm the minions.

Meanwhile, the SKT players online were also preparing to go online.

The game time is 1 minute and 38 seconds. Refresh by pressing F6.

Peanut, who had been waiting in the mid lane and hadn't gone to the blue buff area, immediately controlled Ivern to arrive next to his own F6 camp and started planting crops.

However, the countdown to "planting vegetables" hasn't even finished yet.

Bloom and the barrel popped out from the side.

LGD's jungler and support duo never left SKT's red buff area.

Braum raised his hand and immediately used his Q to attack.

Peanut quickly interrupted Ivern's "planting vegetables" and maneuvered Ivern to dodge Braum's Q.

Then, Braum and Gragas started attacking SKT's F6 camp right in front of Ivern.
Peanuts, on the other hand, decisively ignored his own F6.

I directly controlled Ivern to go to the red buff and started applying the passive to the red buff.

Seeing this, the doll said, "They're probably planning to use Smite to take the red buff directly!"

After applying the passive to the red buff, Ivern used Smite to take down the full-health red buff and level up to level two.

Then I turned to look at F6.
After discovering that LGD's jungler and support had taken down three raptors, they immediately fled.

The Jade God had no choice but to passively inoculate the remaining three birds, one large and two small.

Then, after placing the trinket wards on the open ground in front of F6, I left the red zone and headed to my own blue zone.

"SKT only managed to steal three raptors from Ivern this time, which seems perfectly acceptable!"

Adjusting his glasses, Miller continued, "I don't think it had a very serious impact on SKT!"

"But it still affected the rhythm of the Emerald God more or less, preventing the Emerald God from having a comfortable start and planting vegetables everywhere!" the doll added.

After Eimy's Gragas returned to his own blue buff area, he started farming the blue buff.

After defeating the blue buff, we continued fighting the Swamp Frog.

It seems they're planning to clear all three groups of monsters in the blue zone first.

On the other side, after Ivern planted his own blue buff, he went straight to LGD's red buff area.

Just as the barrel was cleaning up his own three wolves.

Peanut's Ivern is already standing in front of LGD's red buff.

"Hey, something's not right. It feels like LGD messed themselves up." Miller started to feel something was wrong.

"That seems to be true. LGD's opening moves didn't seem to have much of an impact on Ivern!" Wawa immediately contradicted his earlier statement.

He's definitely someone who's good at contradicting himself.

In the game, Ivern has already passively affected LGD's F6.

"They planted red buff here, but luckily Ivern doesn't have Smite anymore, otherwise LGD would have lost their red buff!"

“But it seems like we won’t have enough barrels in time!” Miller said.

The Green God's punishment actually healed in no time.

Peanut can wait for Smite to be available and then use Smite to take down LGD's red buff.

But clearly, Peanut didn't have the guts to camp in LGD's red zone and wait for his Smite cooldown to come back.

Because the top laner, Graves, missed!
Even if Rumble is good at pushing lanes, how could he possibly outpace Graves?

This week's top-ranked Graves keystone rune is Bloodlust, and he'll start with a Doran's Blade.

He pushed the lane directly, even under the pressure of Rumble's Q skill.

The health lost from Rumble's fire was quickly restored by attacking a few minions.

To put it simply, if we don't consider the factor of jungle ganks.

Rumble is just a bit of a jerk in solo lanes.

But if Graves is played in the top lane, he's a pure troll champion.

If you push the lane, there's really nothing you can do against him by yourself.

Therefore, before the third wave of minions even arrived in the top lane, the red team's minions had already been pushed into the Rumble tower by Graves.

The opponent facing Rumble was quickly reduced from Graves to a minion.

After the minion wave pushed into the tower, Zhou Dian's Graves immediately disappeared from the top lane.

Huni was so startled that he immediately reported a miss to Peanut, who was in LGD's red zone.

He was terrified that Xiao Huasheng's Green God would be caught and killed by Zhou Dian.

If Graves leaves the top lane and comes back with a red buff, that would be great.

Then what's the point of him playing this game?

Peanut started to panic after Huni reported several misses.

Even if the punishment is quickly restored, we will be able to get LGD's red buff soon.

He dared not stay in LGD's red zone any longer.

Peanut might have the life to get this red buff, but not the life to enjoy it!
I think I'll just slip away now.

After planting several batches of vegetables and running out of mana, the Green God came to the back of the Great Dragon Pit, stepped on the Explosion Fruit, and went down into the Great Dragon Pit.

Just as they stepped out of the Dragon Pit, they ran into Zhou Dian's Graves.

However, the male gunner was only level two at the moment, and in this open river, he couldn't really do anything to the Green Goddess.

However, now that they had met, leaving empty-handed was not Zhou Dian's style.

Graves used an EQ combo, using his E skill to dash forward and backward, and his Q skill to bounce off the wall and explode, hitting Ivern and taking away more than 100 points of Ivern's health.

Unfortunately, even after Graves used his E skill to dash, he still couldn't land a proper auto-attack on Ivern; he was still a bit too far off and could only land a Q on Ivern.

After being hit by Graves's Q, Ivern ran away without looking back.

Little Peanut thought to himself, "That was close!"

If he lingered in LGD's red zone any longer, he would have been caught by Graves.

A Green God with only two-thirds of his health and no Blue Cleaver might be killed by Graves alone, without even needing Orianna to surround him.

Even just now, I was lucky that I didn't get hit by Graves' auto-attack; I was just a little too close.

Once the Graves gets hit by his auto-attack and triggers the speed boost from Bloodlust, he'll probably chase after you and get hit a few more times.

You might get forced to use Flash.

On the other side, Zhou Dian also expressed his regret.

I was just a hair's breadth away from getting the Green God.

After A arrives, there is a high probability that Ivern will be able to use his Flash before Ivern reaches the Blue Buff.

Once Ivern gets next to the blue buff, it's game over.

Since the blue buff has definitely already been planted by Ivern, Ivern can take the blue buff after he goes there, thus restoring health and mana.

On the other side, Eimy, who was fighting the three wolves, saw Zhou Dian's Graves run into Peanut's Ivern.

He also abandoned the three wolves that were halfway through the fight and steered the barrel straight to his own red buff area.

Since the Jade God emerged from the Great Dragon Pit.

Then his own red buff has definitely already been used by Ivern.

Even though Emerald Goddess is gone now.

However, the entire upper river and LGD's red zone are without vision.

If Peanut is bold enough, he can go back to his own blue buff area, collect the blue buff, and with both buffs on him, his condition will be back up, and he'll have Smite available. Who knows, he might just sneak back and steal his own red buff.

When your jungle monsters are affected by Ivern's passive and Ivern uses Smite.

If the Green God tries to steal your jungle monsters, there's nothing you can do about it.

So, we need to hurry up and get rid of the red buff at home.
