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

Chapter 428 Mindless tower diving, that's exactly what Khan wants!

The observer camera was following Tryndamere at that moment, so the commentators also noticed the attack speed boots that Tryndamere had just bought.

"Wow, that attack speed boots on the Barbarian are a bit scary, it's a pure pig-slaying build!" PDD said.

"With an extra pair of level 2 boots, he's probably going to chase after Jayce and hack away!"

Jayce and the Barbarian were both rushing towards the top lane without stopping.

Jayce emerged from the fountain before Tryndamere, but since Tryndamere had acquired level 2 boots, the two should have arrived at the top lane around the same time.

The camera suddenly switched to the upper part of the river.

At this moment, Sejuani was quietly squatting in the river bush in the top lane, motionless, as if she had disconnected.

"Hey, here we go again! This time, Sejuani isn't even farming jungle monsters, she's just farming Jayce!" PDD shouted.

"If he dies again, the Khan will probably faint immediately. We'll see if he can feel anything then." Guan Zeyuan could barely contain his laughter.

At this moment, Jayce had already reached the position of the blue team's second top tower, unaware that a combo was about to be unleashed upon him.

After a large number of minions pushed into the top tower of the Dragon Ball, a wave of pushback was formed in the top lane.

At this moment, the minion waves on the top lane are intersecting in the middle, but the general trend is that they are slowly pushing towards LGD's top tower.

As Jayce got closer to the minion wave and then closer to Sejuani in the top lane river bush, the cheers from the audience grew louder.

The audience couldn't hold back their laughter any longer.

Aside from LCK fans, it's estimated that all other viewers were eagerly anticipating that moment.

Jayce moved behind the minion wave and gained experience from a recently deceased red minion, finally reaching level two.

Khan instantly leveled up his E skill, then controlled Jayce to take two steps to the right, and placed the control ward he had placed in the top lane river bush.

And so the same scenario played out again!
As soon as I put down the ward, I saw the pig girl inside.

Khan was startled and jumped in fright. Jess quickly placed the Acceleration Gate under his feet and then switched forms.

It accelerates back.

But without Flash, there's no way he can escape!

Just as Jess turned around and ran back, the Barbarian behind him used a chicken call to slow him down.

Then the pig's head came up.

Three seconds later, Jess died on the spot again.

This time, Zhou Dian gave the kill to Zhu Mei.

After all, Sejuani hadn't farmed the jungle for a while, so she needed to get some gold from a kill to catch up on her farm.

On the LPL commentary booth, several commentators really couldn't hold back this time.

Even Zhihuan, who usually doesn't show much emotion, chuckled.

"I thought the tower dive was already pretty bad, but I didn't expect there to be something even worse!" Guan Zeyuan said.

"Two, two, three, four, let's do it again! We've completely confused the Khan!"

"Oh dear, I can't take it anymore!" PDD laughed so hard he was panting. "This Jayce, he's only level 2, died twice, and only has three last hits. It's ridiculously bad!"

PDD continued, "LGD's top and jungle in this game were playing a pure, unadulterated style of play. They like picking Jayce, right? Well, that's exactly what Khan likes!"

"However, Zhou Shen and Eimy really went a bit too far this time, even more so than when Uzi ordered food for Kid God back then!"

So, at this moment, in the official live broadcast room of the event...

[Kid: I wasn't talking about you!]

[Child's Playful Spirit: Is This Polite?]

When Jayce placed that control ward, only one sentence came to mind!

【What? 】

[Surprise, Mom! Fxxk!]

[Haha, a Jayce with two levels and three CS in four minutes, still playing Jayce?]

[With the game going like this, the rest of the time it's just pure Barbarian fun! If you swapped that golden Barbarian guy from before in now, he'd probably just easily kill Jayce!]

[Zhou Shen, I'll give you 50 V's, you can play this game with the Barbarians!]

【.】

Back to the game.

While Eimy's Sejuani was lurking in the top lane river bush against Jayce, Cuzz's Jarvan IV was also busy clearing both camps in Sejuani's lower jungle.

But that's far from enough. Jayce is already half-crippled, so we need to find a way to mess with the rest of LGD.

However, LGD did not give him that opportunity.

While Sejuani was causing trouble in the upper half of the map, knowing that Jarvan IV was in the lower half, imp and PYL played quite shadyly.

After all, the enemy support is Thresh, which is very good for coordinating with the jungler to gank.

Sacrificing a few last hits is okay, but your teammates are gaining an advantage in other lanes. You can't just throw away the advantage your teammates have gained elsewhere.

Therefore, in professional matches, sometimes having fewer CS in lane doesn't necessarily mean you're losing the lane or being out-CS.

Sometimes it's actually about sacrificing for your teammates.

Winning a game is often the result of the efforts of all five players.

One person's success depends on the contributions of the other four.

Cuzz, controlling the Prince, circled the bottom lane river twice but couldn't find an opportunity, so he had to leave disappointed.

Just then, news came from the top lane that Jayce had died for the second time, leaving Cuzz somewhat bewildered.

If we're talking about how Khan was able to be captured and killed twice in a row, the biggest blame undoubtedly lies with him.

If he hadn't been brought to low health by the Barbarian at level one and forced to use Flash, nothing would have happened afterward.

Even if I still get killed by Sejuani, I'll only lose money on kills.

It won't be like now, where two levels in four minutes, three last hits, and the world collapses.

But upon reflection, Jayce had already been reduced to low health and Flash by Tryndamere at level 1, so shouldn't I have gone to the top lane to protect him for a while?
Even if it might be a wasted trip and a lot of time, it's better to go for the F6 on the other side.

With Jayce collapsing, Longzhu's jungler Cuzz was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do.

Not only Cuzz, but the other three members of Dragon Ball were also a little panicked, after all, Jess's collapse was really too severe.

It's safe to say that this person has no such record.

In the game League of Legends, the chain reaction caused by the collapse of a certain position is terrifying.

Two minutes later, the Barbarian, who had just reached level six, used his ultimate and Ghost to tower dive and kill the full-health Jayce.

Jayce's teleport hasn't finished refreshing yet, and he's going to lose another wave of minions.

Just now, the Barbarian was level 6 against Jayce, and he was level 4.

With BoJesus dead, it'll probably be level 7 against level 4.

However, Dragon Ball can't completely ignore Jess.

The hero Barbarian, when he has an advantage in the laning phase, can relentlessly tower dive and chase down opponents.

For the next period of time, the prince was essentially held hostage by Jayce.

Cuzz dared not leave the top side of the map and could only stand guard for Jayce near the top lane, fearing that Jayce would die if he left.

With the enemy jungler clearly positioned near the top lane, LGD's mid, bot, and jungle players had a lot of fun. They could push the lanes whenever they wanted, and the jungler could gank whenever he wanted, without having to worry about being ganked or counter-ganked.

Actually, at this stage of the game, LGD already has a very good chance of winning.

With other lanes developing well and the top lane getting incredibly fed, this has been LGD's most winning strategy this year.

If it were another LPL team, viewers might worry that the game would drag on and they would be upset.

After all, this kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the World Championship.

But given the current situation and the circumstances surrounding LGD, LPL viewers are genuinely not worried that LGD will be overturned.

LGD is arguably the best team in the LPL at top lane split pushing.

When a top laner gets a split-push champion and has an advantage, they will never engage in team fights with the opponent.

Because most split-pushing heroes have one major drawback: they are not very effective in team fights.

They often end up in situations where they have no or little effect in team fights.

In 5v5 team fights, the effect of a single point advantage is reduced.

The advantage of a single point can only be maximized in a one-to-one environment.

After seeing that the two top lane towers had been destroyed by the Tryndamere, he then switched to the bottom lane and destroyed the bottom lane tower of the Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball is really in a hurry.

But as anxious as they were, there was nothing they could do but worry.

LGD's other four players are doing well, and even if we disregard the top laner, they might not be able to win a 4v4 matchup.

If Dragon Ball can win a direct confrontation, that's fine. But if they lose, and no one can support Jess, leaving Jess to face the Barbarians alone for too long could lead to the Barbarians destroying their high ground.

Moreover, LGD did an excellent job of avoiding direct confrontations with all four of their players.

Actually, just looking at LGD's four heroes—mid, bot, jungle, and support—it's a lineup that leans towards initiating team fights.

However, this lineup is not the kind that focuses purely on charging into battle; rather, it has a lot of crowd control.

With multiple crowd control abilities, it's also very useful for preventing opponents from initiating team fights and for pulling them away.

If the opponent tries to engage, unleash a bunch of crowd control skills, lock them down, and then run away.

Less than twenty minutes into the game, the bottom lane's second tower had already lost half its health to Tryndamere. Jayce cowered in the back, trembling as he watched Tryndamere demolish the tower, while the other four members of the Dragon Ball team were extremely anxious.

LGD's response was: I know you're in a hurry, then keep being in a hurry!

Each of the LGD players bought a Control Ward, established vision in the jungle, and then cleared minions under the tower.

After clearing out the minions, they went to farm jungle camps, acting like a bunch of lazy bums, with no interest in the Dragon Balls.

If you can't catch anyone in the jungle, even if Dragon Ball has a teamfight initiator like Jarvan IV, at this point in the game, you don't have much equipment, and it's impossible to dive the tower and force an engagement; that would just be feeding.

However, LGD's four main players were not truly passive. As soon as they spotted Longzhu sending someone to gank Tryndamere, they immediately grouped up and pushed down the mid lane.

After several such attempts, the Barbarian failed to catch the enemy, and instead, LGD managed to whittle down Longzhu's own mid-lane tower.

As more and more turrets were pushed down, and with the support of the team's economy, the other four members of LGD, except for the Barbarian, gradually gained an advantage in equipment.

In this way, even if the Dragon Balls can be activated head-on, they may not be able to beat LGD in a 4v4 match.

With such a significant disadvantage in single-target engagements, if they lose just one wave in a head-on confrontation, the entire Dragon Ball team's situation will immediately collapse.

This also made the four main characters on the front lines of Dragon Ball hesitant and afraid to make a move.

In the commentary box.

PDD laughed, "Oh dear, LGD has completely messed up this Dragon Ball, he can't get into a head-on fight, and he can't catch the Barbarian, he's completely dizzy!"

"Yes." Guan Zeyuan nodded. "LGD should be the team with the best teamwork in split pushing in the LPL. This game was a textbook example of a 4-1 split push."

“In the past, we were always the ones getting confused by the Korean teams’ 4-1 split push and pull, but now it’s the Korean teams’ turn to get split pushed and pulled by us.” PDD seemed to have vented his anger.

"This is what they call retribution—it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet!"

At this point, the situation on the field was quite unfavorable for Dragon Ball.

After 20 minutes of gameplay, the situation on the field deteriorated instantly after the Baron Nashor spawned.

Previously, Zhou Dian didn't dare to push lanes too recklessly, as he was still worried about getting caught and killed.

Every time a split pusher is caught and killed, they have to give up a significant advantage, far more than just the money from a single kill.

While the enemy is waiting to respawn after dying in a split push, they can regain vision.

Later on, even if you can still easily win in a single lane, the difficulty of split pushing increases significantly.

In short, whether it's top lane or mid lane, the person split pushing should never be caught and killed for nothing.

Dying once is very painful.

Whether or not someone gets caught depends not only on the person split-pushing, but also on their teammates.

Game time is 22 minutes.

Zhou Dian's Tryndamere once again pushed the minion wave to Longzhu's low-health second bottom tower, and then destroyed Longzhu's second bottom tower.

Khan didn't dare defend the low-health tower and controlled Jayce to retreat to the bottom lane inhibitor tower.

Meanwhile, the other four members of LGD walked out of the Dragon Ball's field of vision and openly started attacking the Baron.

Seeing LGD openly attacking Baron Nashor, Longzhu knew that LGD didn't really intend to rush Baron, but they still dared not fail to defend it.

Because you were a little slower, the fake dragon fight turned into a real dragon fight, and LGD really went all the way.

This is an open conspiracy; you must accept it.

Looking at the Baron Nashor, which had already lost more than a third of its health, Longzhu gave up the idea of ​​sending two people to gank Tryndamere, or even sending one person to help Jayce defend the tower.

The four Dragon Ball members, excluding Jess, all headed straight for the Baron pit to guard the Baron.

Seeing the four Dragon Balls approaching, LGD definitely couldn't defeat this giant dragon.

However, the four players on the front line of LGD were not in a hurry to retreat, and they just lingered and dragged things out near the Dragon Pit.

After a while of this, Jayce was killed by Tryndamere, who was using Ghost, while under the bottom lane inhibitor turret.

"Holy crap, Zhou Shen's move was ruthless. Before the minion wave even reached the tower, Tryndamere tanked the tower and attacked Jayce." PDD exclaimed in admiration.

"If the minion wave had been pushed into the tower first, Jayce could have cleared the entire wave. Even if he died, he would have saved the bottom lane inhibitor. Now, it's like he died for nothing."

After killing Jayce, there was still almost a whole wave of minions under the bottom lane inhibitor tower. Tryndamere turned around and started demolishing the tower.

With Jayce dead, the other four members of Dragon Ball near the Dragon Pit wanted to return to the city to defend their base.

But how could LGD let them go back so easily!
Sejuani used her Q from a distance to unleash her ultimate, interrupting one person's recall.

PYL's Rakan used R-Flash-W to charge forward, controlling two more people and preventing them from recalling.

Logically speaking, in a 4v4 situation, if three people are involved, the team should start fighting.

but.

Hey, I'm not going to team up!
After Piglet and Lore controlled the three Dragon Balls, they immediately shrank back, showing no intention of fighting at all.

It simply prevents you from returning to the city.

Meanwhile, the only person on Longzhu's side who wasn't interrupted from recalling also intentionally interrupted their recall. The four of them wanted to counterattack LGD together, but they missed.

Looking back at the base, the bottom lane inhibitor tower had been destroyed by the Barbarian, and the bottom lane nexus had been reduced to almost half its health by the Barbarian.
