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

Chapter 471 You may have made a profit, but I will never lose!

Master An's idea just now was somewhat wishful thinking.

It's highly likely that the barrels will rush down this water dragon.

And that's exactly what happened.

In the LGD team voice chat, a chorus of "nice" sounds filled the air as several players online praised Eimy.

With a water dragon so early, the laning phase will be incredibly comfortable.

"No, no! It was all thanks to Brother Zhou drawing the firepower in the top lane!"

Although she said that, Eimy couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"Come on, you're getting cocky just from being called fat. The competition has only just begun!" Zhou Dian said with a laugh.

While Zhou Dian certainly drew fire in the top lane, Eimy's decisiveness also played an indispensable role.

As soon as Lee Sin showed up in the top lane, Eimy immediately rushed towards the dragon.

If we're talking about the ten players on the field right now, the most confident ones are undoubtedly the top, mid, and jungle trio from LGD.

Having weathered the highs and lows of the fourth game, Eimy's confidence is now rivaling that of Zhou Ding.

He was originally a jungler with an extremely unconventional mindset, and he was quite talented when he first debuted.

But after losing so many games, I've become a bit bad at playing games!
Zhou Dian's arrival also indirectly revitalized Eimy.

This activation applies not only to gameplay but also to personality.

In the commentary box.

Seeing that the barrel had successfully taken down the water dragon, Miller happily exclaimed, "What a steal! What a steal!"

"A water tap this early in the morning is just too nice."

The sighs and groans from the audience below the stage had long since turned into loud cheers.

After taking down the Water Dragon, Gragas was severely weakened, so Eimy went back to base to upgrade his jungle item.

Zhou Dian's Karma has replenished her equipment and left home, and is about to return to the lane.

The only downside to this play was that Shen blocked the top lane minion wave.

Therefore, Zhou Dian did not use the teleport to go online, but instead went directly back to the online platform.

Returning to online play, Karma will inevitably fall behind in experience.

But this did not affect Karma's torment of Shen.

As for the poor minion wave positioning...
But at least for now, Zhou Dian doesn't have to worry about being ganked by Master An again.

the reason is simple.

No matter what bold moves or decisions An makes, it doesn't change the fact that An is fundamentally a steady type, not a gambling type.

Since he is a steady and reliable player, his actions are ultimately predictable.

The game has only been going on for 4 or 5 minutes, and there are no jungle monsters to farm in the entire upper half of Samsung's jungle.

To say that after Ambition's Lee Sin respawned, he ignored the fact that there wasn't a single jungle monster along the way and went straight to the top lane just to gank Karma again, and he still might not be able to catch her.

If he could do something like that, he wouldn't be called Master An; he'd be called Spicy Hot Pot.

And that was exactly what happened. After Ambition's Lee Sin respawned, he went straight to the bottom jungle.

After hearing the game notification sound of the dragon being destroyed, Lee Sin slightly changed direction and headed straight for the Krugs.

While Lee Sin was fighting the Krugs, Ambition was not only thinking about the situation on the field, but also about the gank where he traded one for one with Karma in the previous wave.

Putting aside some minor details and Karma's supposed "luck" in surviving with only a few drops of blood.

From the perspective of the gank design alone, it was successful; he did catch Karma in a suitable position during the week.

But looking back now, the more An Zhangmen thought about it, the more he felt that perhaps the gank on Karma wasn't entirely due to his well-designed gank.

Perhaps Zhou Dian intentionally guided this?

Is this okay?

Isn't that utter nonsense?

Sect Leader An shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

Regardless, his first pick of Lee Sin on the blue side was a failure in the end, resulting in LGD gaining a huge advantage.

But in Master An's subconscious, he was more inclined to attribute his recent failure to his superiors' lapse in judgment and Zhou Dian's "luck."

Because he had studied many of Zhou Dian's matches, he concluded that although Zhou Dian was a very strong top laner, he was also a "reckless" player.

Zhou Dian never misses any opportunity to suppress his opponent, and once such an opportunity arises, he will suppress his opponent without hesitation.

But was Zhou Dian really "reckless"?

Players who play other positions often feel that Zhou Dian has a bit of a reckless streak.

But none of the top laners who have faced off against Zhou Dian would think that way.

Lee Sin farmed in the lower jungle, while Zhou Dian's Karma recklessly farmed, pushed the lane, and harassed in the top lane.

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, Ambition's Lee Sin rotated to the top lane.

However, the top lane minions pushed back to LGD's side at this time, and Lee Sin had no chance to gank Karma.

So Master An decided to try the mid lane. Just a little while later, Malzahar would reach level six.

In those two minutes, Sect Leader An was a little anxious.

Because LGD secured the Water Dragon too early, Samsung's laning situation on several lanes is becoming increasingly difficult.

Especially in the bottom lane, Ruler was completely dominated by Imp.

Master An wanted to find an opportunity to break the deadlock, and the middle lane was undoubtedly the most suitable option at this time.

However, when Ambition rushed to the mid lane, Lucian suddenly retreated to the tower, ignoring the minion wave that Malzahar would block, and recalled to base on the spot.

Wei Shen was quite clear-headed at this moment. The reason he was willing to lose soldiers and experience to return to the city was naturally because he didn't want to become the breakthrough point.

He knew very well that Malzahar was about to reach level six.

Karma is hard to gank right now. Without Karma drawing fire, who else would Ambition target if not her?

When Master An saw Lucian slip away, he became quite annoyed.

Just as I was about to go back to continue farming, I suddenly realized that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

At this moment, in the LGD team's voice chat...

"Oh dear, what a pity!" Wei Shen muttered after pressing the B key.

Eimy was observing the situation online when he saw Lucian preparing to recall. Upon hearing this, he immediately asked, "What's the pity?"

"My minion wave is about to be blocked by Malzahar!"

Eimy said "Oh" and then buried himself in farming.

He's quite far from the mid lane, so he can't help Lucian clear the wave.

"I'm here, I'm here! I'll gladly accept this wave of minions!"

Wei Shen suddenly heard Zhou Dian's words and quickly switched screens to check. He saw that Karma had almost reached the mid lane at some point.

"Eat up, eat up! It's all yours," Wei Shen said with a smile. "Don't become my scapegoat!"

"Haha, even if you're going to be a ghost, you should at least die well!" Zhou Dian chuckled.

After Zhou Dian quickly cleared the push wave under the tower in the top lane, he headed straight for the mid lane.

He wasn't unaware that the middle lane was the most dangerous area at that moment.

But as I said before: Top lane Karma can afford to die!
Karma's gank in the mid lane was purely a case of surviving and gaining a huge advantage, or dying and not losing anything. So, in the mid lane, Malzahar had just blocked the minion wave in front of the tower when Crown saw Karma jump out of the river bush on the left side of the mid lane.

Karma immediately used RQ upon exiting the map, hitting a large group of blue team minions.

Alright! This grasshopper card is a freebie!
"Since you can't break the laning phase, then you can make up for it with kills!" crown thought to himself.

As soon as Ambition entered his own jungle, he saw Karma appear in the mid lane. He was overjoyed and immediately controlled Lee Sin to rush to the mid lane.

By the time Karma finished off the last blue minion in front of her, Lee Sin was almost at the mid lane.

Crown knew he couldn't wait any longer and decisively pressed Flash.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and Malzahar used Flash and his ultimate to pull Karma in.

Malzahar's ultimate (R) has a 2.5-second suppression duration. With Lee Sin nearby and Karma without Flash, being caught by Malzahar's ultimate was a death sentence.

The next moment, Lee Sin appeared, his two Qs flew onto Karma, and he finished her off with a barrage of attacks.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shen's words came true.

Zhou Dian really did become Wei Shen's scapegoat this time!
"Oh my god, Crown Bro, that grasshopper, flashed and used his ultimate, Karma can't move at all!" Miller exclaimed.

Seeing Karma fall to the blind man and die once again, Miller couldn't help but feel anxious.

In LGD's past matches, he had basically never seen Zhou Dian die twice at level six.

Miller was a little worried that Zhou Dian's form was in trouble.

As LGD's most consistent player, if Zhou Dian has any issues...
It will be very difficult for LGD to win the game!
"Was Zhou Shen a bit too greedy with the lane this time? Malzahar had already leveled up to level six right in front of him," Miller continued.

“It seems so, but we can’t just leave the mid lane unpushed, right?” Wawa added.

"It can only be said that Master An arrived quite quickly; otherwise, Malzahar's damage alone would not have been enough to kill Karma."

Upon hearing this, Miller silently rolled his eyes.

Isn't that just stating the obvious? It's the same as not saying anything at all.

Crown would only use Flash + R on Karma if the blind man arrived; otherwise, why would he use Flash for no reason?

Miller continued, "Fortunately, Karma pushed the mid lane before she died, which made things easier for Lucian. It was his last contribution to the team before he died."

Miller mentioned the key point, but didn't quite grasp it.

The key point is naturally that "Lucian is comfortable."

But actually, Lucian just needs to be comfortable.

Zhou Dian's pick of Karma in the top lane was essentially a support pick, with the target being Lucian in the mid lane.

Lucian was having a great time, which meant he had already accomplished most of his job.

Moreover, after Karma finished clearing the top lane, she went to the mid lane and cleared another wave of minions.

Although I've died twice already, I haven't missed a single kill.

In addition, An Zhangmen's tower dive earlier also gave Zhou Dian a kill.

Karma actually had quite a bit of money on her at that moment, and was almost as much as she needed for the incense burner, that "divine artifact".

For Samsung, it's certainly good that Ambition's blind man got another kill.

However, Crown's Malzahar in the mid lane also used Flash.

During the nearly five minutes that Malzahar's Flash was not ready, as long as GodV was careful, his Lucian could enjoy himself for another five minutes.

I'll say it again: you might make a profit, but I'll never lose!

Trying to get something for free from Zhou Dian is extremely difficult.

Of course, no matter what position you play, dying in a row will definitely pose some risks.

However, Samsung's top laner in this game was Shen, which minimized this potential risk.

If you're facing Shen, it's very difficult to raise a monster.

At this moment, in the LGD team's voice chat...

When he saw Karma being pinned down by Malzahar's flash ultimate, GodV burst out laughing.

"Holy crap, bro, looks like you've really become my scapegoat!"

The fact that Wei Shen can still laugh at this moment is enough to show that his mental state is really good.

Two seconds later, Zhou Dian looked at the gray screen in front of him and said with a smile, "Hey, it's not a big problem. I made some money. It's no use for the blind man to take my kills."

"You'll be comfortable for the next five minutes. By then, Malzahar will have Flash ready, and my Incense Burner will be finished. I'll take you on a show and make you fly!"

"OK, OK! No problem, let's combine our swords together, okay?" Wei Shen nodded with a smile.

It was still early in the game, and Karma respawned quickly.

As soon as Karma respawned, Zhou Dian immediately used his teleport to return to the top lane.

When Karma teleported down, Shen had just pushed the minion wave to LGD's top tower.

Karma can happily farm a wave of minions as soon as she lands; it couldn't be more comfortable.

This wave of minions went to the mid lane and farmed a wave of minions, and the top lane didn't lose a single minion. So what if I die once?

I can afford to die!
Zhou Dian's current goal is to make money.

The items Karma needs in the early to mid-game are cheap and practical, so the faster you get them, the better.

Zhou Dian, who was happily continuing to send money, was unaware that the "reckless man" impression he had just begun to soften in Master An's mind had been reinforced once again.

In Ambition's eyes, although he didn't catch Lucian in this mid lane gank, he unexpectedly killed Karma, which was still a good deal.

He hadn't realized that Kalmar was a complete "rotten life".

Master An could naturally see that Karma had mostly died in place of Lucian in this wave.

But this doesn't change the fact that he once again felt that Zhou Dian was reckless.

You're playing a competition, you can't just die like that!
Do you realize that every time you die, you're just feeding the enemy's momentum?

In Samsung's gaming philosophy, the survival of heroes is paramount.

After all, you can't do anything if you're dead, but you have a chance if you're alive.

In the previous game, Samsung was in a huge disadvantage but managed to pull off a 4-0 wipeout against LGD in the mid lane, almost turning the tide of the game. This perfectly illustrates their game philosophy.

LGD, or rather Zhou Dian, believes that if players play freely, it's enough that the deaths are meaningful.

In League of Legends, you're never going to survive a single game!

There is no inherent superiority or inferiority, right or wrong, between these two viewpoints; both are pursuing victory.

The fact that one side wins only indicates that the team is better, and does not indicate the superiority or inferiority of their playing styles.

Zhou Dian is here today to prove that LPL's own playstyle can win games.

LPL's playstyle is no worse than the Korean-style macro play.

Master An was in a good mood at the moment, not because he had just gotten a kill.

This isn't a random match; how could a Lee Sin player carry the game alone?

Master An would love to give both of his kills to his teammates!
The main reason was that he saw Karma teleport back online after her resurrection.

Originally, I just wanted to get a rather unremarkable head, but I didn't expect there to be an unexpected bonus.

You can even use teleportation, kid!

Yes, a wave of minions has entered the tower. Use teleport to get up and farm the minion wave immediately.

But you're facing Shen!
