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

Chapter 29: An Excellent Source of Material
Seeing [TopKing]'s exaggerated win rate and hero usage, AJ's first reaction was that this must be Smeb's smurf account!
Smeb – the runner-up top laner in S5, ranked number one in Riot Games' official top 20 players at last year's S6 World Championship, and the creator of the "Thunderbolt" meme.

Even though he lost to SKT in the S6 World Championship and was eliminated in the semifinals, he is still widely recognized as the world's best player.

AJ is indeed afraid of Marin.

But Marin is getting old, and his performance for LGD last year was not satisfactory.

In comparison, AJ is definitely more afraid of Smeb, who is currently the world's number one.

Fortunately, the comments section quickly solved the case for him; the person wasn't Smeb.

Furthermore, some viewers who watched Meiko's live stream explicitly stated in the chat that this [TopKing] is Chinese!

Oh, so he's not a Korean top laner. Then what do I have to be afraid of?

AJ immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I admit that Camille's record and win rate are indeed impressive, but I, AJ, am a professional top laner who has participated in the World Championship for two consecutive years!"

"It's just a ranked game, brothers, watch carefully and learn from it. AJ will teach you how Jax can crush Camille!"

After saying that, AJ took a deep breath and adjusted himself to be in top form.

Despite his boasting, AJ had already raised his level of vigilance to the highest level.

After seeing that the opponent had locked in Jax, Zhou Dian quickly adjusted his Camille's runes and masteries for this game.

Then, on the fifth floor, I helped Meiko get Karma, and then the two of them swapped heroes.

Upon arriving at the loading screen, Zhou Dian's first glance was at the enemy Jax's ID.

A string of English letters.

Zhou Dian was not familiar with this ID.

So, Zhou Dian switched back to the desktop and prepared to check op.gg to see if this Jax player was a professional player.

"Hopefully he'll be a professional top laner!"

A quick search on op.gg reveals that Jax's ID has professional certification.

He's definitely a professional player.

Zhou Dian looked closely and saw that the verification column read – IM Top Laner AmazingJ.
Good guy!
It's AJ!

I'm incredibly lucky!
With Camille just getting completely dominated by AJ, resulting in Camille's first loss in a global tournament, is there anyone more suitable to play against her than AJ if you want to teach Camille a lesson?

This game is absolutely perfect for creating footage!
Zhou Dian immediately became extremely focused.

We must win this game!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~
Accompanied by in-game sound effects, Jax landed in Summoner's Rift, in the red team's fountain.

AJ quickly bought Corruption Potion and a free Trinket Ward, then controlled Jax to head straight for the river, preparing for level 1 positioning.

On the way, AJ pressed the Tab key to bring up the equipment panel and checked the summoner spells and keystone runes of the heroes on both sides.

I was so busy checking [TopKing's] stats when the game was loading.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed something different.

"Does this Camille not have [Fervor of Battle] as her keystone mastery?"

After a moment's thought, AJ continued, "When Camille plays against Jax, Grasp of the Undying seems to be better than Fervor of Battle. TopKing, you understand that!"

AJ's comment also drew the attention of viewers in the live stream to Camille's foundational talent.

Why bring Undying Grip? I see everyone bringing Fervor of Battle, don't they?

[You're asking me about the gold mines in the suburbs?]

[Here's my understanding of the Diamond top laner from the Chinese server: Jax has Counter Strike, and his other skills are also very strong in 1v1 situations. Camille definitely can't beat Jax in a head-on fight. So, this TopKing chose Grasp of the Undying instead of the all-out Fervor of Battle as his keystone rune!] [Wow, that makes so much sense! No wonder you're a Diamond from the Chinese server, I acknowledge you're a Master from the suburbs!]

[Isn't Silver in the first server equivalent to Diamond in the suburbs? Then Diamond in the first server must be in the top ten of the suburbs, right?]

[Where did this arrogant jerk from District 1 come from? Get lost!]

[Heh, I'm a Platinum player from Zaun, anyone in Diamond rank from the first server who dares to solo me? If not, shut up!]

【.】

At this moment, the first waves of minions on both the red and blue sides of the game are about to converge.

The mindless meme-filled comments in AJ's livestream suddenly decreased significantly, and everyone started focusing on watching the laning phase.

The top lane minions met, and AJ's Jax came up with his own minions and immediately started last-hitting them.

This is to secure lane priority and, incidentally, stack Jax's passive.

Jax has Counter Strike (E), so he can play like that, but Camille can't.

Therefore, Zhou Dian did not go online with his own minions, but instead ran to the bushes on the top lane ahead of time.

Seeing Jax start attacking minions, Zhou Dian instantly leveled up his W skill, then controlled Camille to walk out of the bush and unleashed a Tactical Sweep (W), hitting Jax and also the red team's front-line minions.

Camille's W skill has a channeling process; it's not instantaneous.

Given the distance between them, while Camille's W skill is still in its cast animation, Jax can easily dodge Camille's W skill by stepping back slightly.

However, AJ did not choose to hide.

Jax took Camille's W skill head-on, then farmed minions.

Seeing this, Zhou Dian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

AJ truly deserves his reputation as a professional top laner who has made it to the World Championship for two consecutive years!

If a high-ranking casual player had played Jax, they would likely have instinctively retreated in the face of Camille's Tactical Sweep (W).

If Jax just takes a step back like that, Zhou Dian is confident he can guarantee it—

The laning phase for Jax is over!
However, AJ overcame his instinct to dodge skills and preserve his health, taking Camille's W skill head-on, and still managed to maintain a favorable position and secure lane control.

Of course, Zhou Dian never underestimated AJ from the beginning, so Camille's W skill not only hit Jax, but also hit three front-line minions, slightly balancing the minion wave situation and preventing the minion wave from being pushed over too quickly.

The release of just the first skill upon its release already contained the purpose of two and a half layers of the weekly peak.

The first objective was not achieved, and AJ saw through it.

But the second objective has already been achieved!

As for the other half of the purpose, it was that after Camille's W skill hit Jax, the Grasp of the Undying effect started to appear.

A few seconds later, Grasp of the Undying was about to stack up, and Zhou Dian controlled Camille to move forward and attack minions.

AJ Live Room.

After Jax took the hit from Camille's W skill, AJ said, "We can't back down from this W!"

"Camille's level 1 W damage isn't that high. We've bought Corrupting Potion, so it's okay for us to tank the damage. The more important thing is to hold our position and then last-hit minions to push the lane!"

"However, if you're playing ranked matches and your rank isn't high, you don't need to worry about minion waves; just focus on your mechanics!"

At this moment, Camille stepped forward and began attacking minions.
Seeing this, AJ immediately controlled Jax to bypass the front-line minions and push forward, trying to drive Camille away.

I, AJ, am certain that no one can hold this minion wave!
"We can't let that Camille A minion go to level one, let's go straight up and drive him away!"
