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

My assessment of Chapter 290 is: They're in a hurry!

As it turns out, Eimy's choice was absolutely correct.

Little Peanut is indeed very bold.

Given that it has already been discovered previously.

With SKT currently trailing 1-2 in the series.

Peanut actually dared to take a risky gamble and choose to launch a surprise attack.

After returning to his own blue buff area, Ivern took away the blue buff that he had already planted.

With the double buffs in hand, Ivern's mana was rapidly recovering.

The blood volume is also steadily increasing.

Then, Ivern crossed the upper river again and sneaked into LGD's red zone.

At this moment, Gragas is attacking his own red buff.

The red buff was pulled into the bushes next to the camp by the barrel, and its health was already low, almost at the execution threshold of Smite.

On the other side, Ivern made his way to behind LGD's red buff.

Next, there was a trinket ward next to the wall, which was placed in the red buff camp.

However, this is the lesson learned from inserting the eye.

The barrel happened to be in the nearby bush and used Smite to kill the red buff.

It was precisely because the barrel was in the bushes next to him and there was a half-wall blocking his view that Eimy couldn't see a blue team's ward and was placed in the red buff camp.

Naturally, they had no idea that Ivern had actually returned to his own jungle.

Actually, this doesn't have much of an impact on the barrel.

After all, they've already got the red buff.

However, Peanut took a huge risk and launched a surprise attack, only to find that LGD's red buff was gone.

Peanuts won't give up now that they've gotten nothing out of this.

Upon glancing at the minion wave in the mid lane, Peanut immediately came up with a plan.

The decision is yours!

The Green God turned around and went to the right, entering the narrow passage between LGD's F6 and the river.

The observers immediately noticed Ivern's intention and quickly switched their view to the mid lane.

Everything has just come to a head.

Then we saw Jayce switch to hammer form to accelerate, and suddenly slammed his Sky Leap (Q) into Orianna's head.

At the same time, weakness also puts the clockwork in place.

In this game, Faker's Jayce chose Flash and Exhaust as his summoner spells.

After applying Exhaust, Jayce flashed behind Orianna and unleashed Thunder Clap (E), sending Orianna flying a considerable distance away from LGD's mid-lane tower.

Wei Shen immediately activated Sprint.

Then, the weakness ended, and Clockwerk's movement speed increased dramatically as he ran towards the lower river.

Even after taking a full combo of damage from Jayce, Orianna's health was still very low.

However, Jayce alone cannot defeat Orianna without Ghost and Flash.

However, the next moment, Ivern appeared in front of LGD's mid tower.

Immediately afterwards, Ivern flashed and used Forced Growth (W) to plant a patch of grass at Jayce's feet.

At the same time, Jess was also given the "Sowing Beans and Reaping Melons" (E) bonus.

A shield appeared on Jayce.

The shield will soon explode, slowing nearby enemies by nearly half for two seconds.

The shield was about to explode and hit his own clockwork.

Wei Shen had no choice but to use Flash to create distance between himself and Jayce.

However, Jess is blocking the top right corner.

Therefore, Orianna can only flash to the left or lower right.

Otherwise, you'll still get hit by the shield that explodes on Jayce.

However, whether you dodge to the left or to the lower right, you will be away from the red side of the map where LGD is located.

Finally, after flashing to the lower right, Orianna used her high movement speed from Ghost to escape into SKT's red zone.

There was no other way; this was the only way he could escape.

But this path is also a dead end.

In the commentary box.

Wawa shouted, "Zyra has already ganked the bottom lane, let's see how long Wei Shen can hold out!"

Jayce chased Orianna all the way into the jungle, switched to hammer form, and fired a shot at her.

The clockwork movement dodged it.

Then, Orianna walked to the position behind the Dragon Pit, activated the Blast Cone, and launched herself to the left, deeper into SKT's red zone.

Because LGD's bot lane doesn't have lane priority right now.

This resulted in SKT's bot lane duo, Zyra ganking the jungle and Varus ganking the river.

If Wei Shen were to activate the Explosion Fruit, he would fall into the Little Dragon Pit.

Then the head of Clockwork will be given to Varus.

Wei Shen didn't want to unnecessarily burden the bottom lane.

Clockwork continued running forward, leaving only Jess chasing after it.

Since everyone already realized that Orianna wanted to feed the tower, there was no need for the others to waste their time.

Orianna walked past SKT's red buff camp, continued forward, stepped on another explosive fruit, and arrived at the base of the right high ground wall of SKT.

"Hey, there's a Blast Fruit! We can send it to the tower if we have a chance!" Miller shouted.

However, the Green God, who was originally going back to the Blue Zone to grow crops, did not enter his own Blue Zone. Instead, he followed the middle lane all the way to the foot of the high ground.

Jess also came around from the other side.

Orianna was blocked by SKT's mid and jungle, one on the left and one on the right, below SKT's right high ground.

Peanut completely wiped out Orianna this time, not even letting her feed the tower.

Ultimately, Faker's Jayce secured the kill on Orianna.

First Blood!
The notification sound of first blood echoed throughout the entire arena.

A cheer erupted from the audience.

In the LGD player seat.

Wei Shen scratched his head and said, "Damn, I didn't know Ivern was here, otherwise if Jayce had applied Exhaust to me, I would have just flashed away! I wouldn't have been knocked back!"

"That Peanut guy is really daring, he actually went into my red buff area again!" Eimy continued, "I'll help you push the mid lane minions!"

"Push, push faster! Jayce lost a lot of minions this wave, so getting first blood isn't really that much of a gain!"

On the large screen at the scene.

The observer's view is currently focused on the middle lane.

The barrel is pushing the lane in the middle.

When Jayce returned to the fountain, Gragas had already pushed a wave of red minions to SKT's mid-lane tower.

Once Jayce walks up to the server, he definitely won't be able to get any kills.

After this recall, in order to maximize the advantage that Jayce had gained from the first blood.

Faker chose to use the money Jayce had to make a Serrated Dagger.

They did not choose to release the Goddess Tear first.

He was well aware of one thing: he needed to continue to expand his advantage along the central route.

As for Goddess Tears, it will have to be released later.

The downside of getting Tear of the Goddess late is that it takes longer to stack Manamune.

But there's nothing we can do about it; this wave of Serrated Daggers and Goddess Tears means we have to choose one.

There always has to be a choice. Besides Jayce, Peanut's Ivern also recalled to base after killing Orianna.

Upon returning to the spring, the Emerald God repaired a pair of shoes, a True Sight, and a Dark Seal.

This is what players commonly refer to as the "murder ring".

After acquiring his equipment, Ivern headed straight for his own blue buff area.

There are also two groups of wild monsters in the blue zone: the Three Wolves and the Swamp Frog, waiting for him to plant vegetables.

Meanwhile, in the commentary booth...

Doll also quickly noticed that Ivern had added a kill ring to his deck.

"Wow, Little Peanut is making a murder ring right off the bat, that's pretty bold!" the doll exclaimed.

"It's more than just a little big; Peanut's daring in this game was extraordinary!" Miller immediately exclaimed.
"Even with their own red buff invaded at the start of the game, they dared to forcibly take it and then dared to farm in LGD's red buff area!"

"After being discovered, they still dared to turn around and try to steal the red buff from the Gragas!"

"Although they were a step too late and missed out, they immediately pulled off a dirty trick and caught Wei Shen dead!"

"Peanut has only played Ivern for a few minutes in this game, but he already seems to be making a huge impact, doing things all the time!"

At this point, Rita chimed in, saying, "This Peanut, he was just focused on farming in the first few games, but suddenly he's going all out in this one. His style has changed a bit too quickly!"

"My assessment is, they're in a hurry!" the doll chuckled.

"SKT wasn't behind in the first few games, so Peanut picked a damage-dealing jungler and just farmed without doing anything!"

"SKT is currently down 1-2, and they can't afford to lose any more games!"

"Judging from Peanut's frantic actions at the beginning of this game, I think he's really anxious!"

"Uh, that's possible!" Miller thought that although the doll's reasoning sounded a bit far-fetched, upon closer inspection, it actually made a lot of sense.

"So, Peanut isn't actually that suited to playing aggressive junglers; he's actually better suited to utility junglers?"

"Uh, maybe it really is!"

When the commentators were making jokes about peanuts.

In the official LPL live stream, many online viewers were already making jokes in the chat.

[The damage-dealing jungler farms head-on, the utility jungler controls the map, and they can gank instantly—isn't that Clearlove?]

[It's true! Playing Lee Sin and spamming farm for nothing, while Olaf just wanders around with his ultimate. That's so Clearlove-esque, the style is spot on!]

[Oh no, Peanut has really been turned into a factory worker, he looks exactly like Mingkai!]

[Don't be so disparaging; Clearlove is still considered one of the best junglers of his type!]

[Peak? What peak is Mingkai talking about? Didn't he get utterly thrashed by Peanut at last year's World Championship, getting thoroughly schooled in every way imaginable?]

So, Peanut got his comeuppance this time, didn't he? He's turned into Mingkai's face now!

Mr. Ming, every encounter in this world is a reunion after a long separation!

[What are you all saying? Didn't you see that Peanut hasn't even touched the F6 camp this game? A jungler who doesn't like farming the F6 camp, and you say he's like Clearlove?]

"Now that you mention it, I remember. The reason Peanut was acting so recklessly this game was probably because the jungler stole three of his F6 raptors at the start, which angered him."

Hey, that makes sense!

[Oh no, he looks even more like the factory manager now!]

【.】

Back to the game.

Peanut's Ivern passed through the door on the left high ground wall, descended the high ground, and entered his own blue zone.

He then took two steps forward and threw a bundle of thorns over the wall, which flew towards the Three Wolves' camp.

It's Ivern's Q skill – Deep Roots.
However, this Q skill was thrown but didn't hit anything.

what's going on?
Could it be that the three wolves can now move around?

This is of course impossible.

Peanut quickly controlled Ivern to use the "Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow" (W) technique, planting a patch of grass over the wall in front of the Three Wolves camp, thus revealing the area's visibility.

There were no wild monsters left in the Three Wolves Camp; it was completely empty.

Suddenly, another ominous feeling arose in Peanut's heart.

He quickly steered the Emerald God forward.

Just as I turned the corner of the wall, I saw the Swamp Frog camp on the left, which was also completely empty, with nothing there.

The three wolves and the swamp frogs in the house are all gone.

What's the situation?
It's impossible for wild monsters to grow legs and run away on their own.

No, the monsters have indeed grown legs.

However, there's no need to overthink it; there's only one possibility for this to happen.

Those two groups of monsters were stolen!
Did the enemy jungler, Gragas, steal it?
The Gragas was just pushing the mid lane, he definitely didn't have the speed to run to SKT's red buff area and clear two camps of jungle monsters.

Since it's not a barrel.

That means it can only be Graves.

Peanut glanced at the Graves' icon in the top lane on the minimap.

Then I pressed the Tab key and glanced at Graves' CS (creep score).

I quickly did the calculations in my head.

Even though Graves hasn't missed a single CS in the top lane since the start of the game.

There wasn't this many last hits either.

Peanut switched screens and glared fiercely at the Graves in the top lane.

Then, control Ivern to walk towards his own lower jungle.

There's only one group of stone beetles left in his jungle, so he has no choice but to farm them now.

"Fine, I'll let you off this time, just don't give me a chance to catch you again!" Peanut thought to himself through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, in the LGD team's voice chat...

Zhou Dian said to Eimy, "I told you to steal his Stone Golem, and if you're going to do it, do it thoroughly. He ganked our mid lane, we can't let him get away with it!"

The three wolves and the Gromp in SKT's jungle were killed by Graves when Ivern ganked Orianna earlier, after he ran into SKT's blue buff area.

Graves pushed the lane too fast, even while taking Rumble's damage.

Therefore, Huni had no way to deal with Graves's constant running around.

Since the start of the game, Rumble has been laning against minions, not against Graves.

Graves is naturally fast at clearing jungle monsters.

In addition, LGD's mid and jungle chased Orianna all the way down the street.

In the meantime, Graves was able to steal two camps of jungle monsters from Ivern.

It was quite a coincidence.

Peanut wasn't planning on chasing Orianna anyway, so he let Faker's Jayce chase her alone.

But he suddenly realized that he had to completely eliminate the possibility of clockwork sending towers.

So, the Ivern, who was about to turn around and dive into the blue zone, went straight to his own high ground and blocked Clockwerk who was about to send the tower to its death.

If Ivern had gone straight into his own blue buff area, he would have run into Graves stealing the wolves.

Both groups of monsters were saved.

Given that situation, if Zhou Dian had been caught in the act, he would definitely have chosen to retreat.

But the result was that Peanut lost two sets of jungle monsters.

He didn't even get an assist for that kill on Orianna.

Wei Shen directly gave the kill to Jayce, deliberately not giving Ivern any assists.

Therefore, that gank in the mid lane was actually a complete loss for Peanut.

And they lost a lot of money!
Fortunately, Eimy was too timid and chickened out, choosing not to listen to Zhou Dian and steal SKT's Krugs, thus leaving Ivern a way out.

At this moment, Eimy's Gragas had just finished killing the river crab in the upper river and was returning to his own red buff area to fight the F6 camp.

Upon hearing Zhou Dian's question, Eimy immediately replied, "Brother Zhou, I'm just playing it safe. The stone beetles are so deep in the enemy territory. If I travel all this way to steal them and get caught, I'll suffer a huge loss!"
