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

Chapter 493 Nar is captured in a frenzy, surrounded and counter-surrounded!
At this moment, behind LGD's first tower, Malzahar and Jarvan IV both began their recall countdown.

“How dare he!” PDD shouted.

"You're saying that if Malzahar turns around and uses his ultimate to stun Ryze, and then Jarvan IV uses his EQ combo, it would put a lot of pressure on Faker!"

"But Ryze's aura seems to have intimidated Wei Shen and Eimy a bit."

Just as LGD's mid and jungle players were recalling under the tower, Faker's Ryze arrived in the top river with Gragas.

At this moment, Zhou Dian's Gnar is fighting the river crab here.

The whereabouts of SKT's mid and jungle players were not detected by LGD at this time.

Zhou Dian had no idea that Ryze and Gragas had come to arrest him.

After taking down the river crab, Zhou Dian controlled Gnar to return to the top lane via his own blue buff area.

At this point, Huni's Yasuo had already pushed the minion wave to LGD's top tower.

When Gnar reached the tri-bush on the blue side's top lane, Gragas had already used his E skill to jump over the wall and arrive at LGD's blue buff camp, heading straight between LGD's first and second top lane towers to cut off Gnar's retreat.

Faker's Ryze was a step behind Gragas, still behind the blue buff camp.

However, Ryze had already cast Pathfinder (R) in place.

Ryze, who is already level 12, has a level 2 ultimate ability with a significantly increased teleportation distance.

A blue circle of light appeared in front of LGD's second top tower, which was the landing point of Ryze's ultimate teleport.

Both Ryze and Gragas aim to cut off Gnar's escape route, but Ryze arrives first despite being the one who attacks later.

"Oh dear, they're about to double-team Zhou Shen!" Miller exclaimed.

As soon as Gnar emerged from the tri-bush and reached his own top tower, he saw Yasuo charging straight towards him.

Zhou Dian immediately realized something was wrong and quickly controlled Gnar to run backward.

Gnar had only taken two steps toward his second top turret when he ran right into Ryze.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Little Gnar quickly used his E skill to jump over the wall to the right and landed at the Gromp.

While Little Gnar was in the air, he was hit by Ryze's E skill.

Seeing that Gnar had already been marked by Ryze's E skill, Faker did not hesitate and immediately flashed over the wall, wanting to finish Gnar off with a Rune Prison (W).

But just as Ryze flashed over the wall and raised his W skill, a yellow light flashed, and Gnar also flashed.

The flash was so fast, almost synchronized with Ryze's flash.

As a result, Ryze's Rune Imprisonment (W), which has virtually no cast time, was unable to be cast before losing its target.

After flashing over the wall, Gnar headed straight for the top river.

SKT's top, mid, and jungle players split into three groups and crossed LGD's blue buff area to catch up.

Malzahar and the prince had already returned to the fountain, but Gnar, unable to go home, could only flee towards SKT's jungle.

We should try to stall for as long as possible.

After passing through the pass and arriving at the upper river channel, you are right in front of the acceleration zone created by the river crab that Nar just destroyed.

Faker's Ryze was right behind Gnar.

However, this acceleration caused Gnar to instantly widen the distance between himself and Ryze.

Peanut, who had been chasing Gragas back the way he came, ended up back at LGD's blue buff camp.

Seeing that Gnar had stepped on the acceleration wheel and was leaving Ryze further and further behind, Peanut got anxious.

Extremely urgent!
Why the rush?
Because Peanut did something stupid earlier.

He originally came to gank Gnar with Ryze, but behind LGD's blue buff camp, when Ryze stopped to use his ultimate, Peanut couldn't stop in time, and Gragas used his Body Slam (E) to E over the wall.

If Gragas had gotten into Ryze's car, and the two of them had been able to cut off Gnar's escape route at the same time, Gnar would have been captured and killed long ago.

Why waste time chasing after Nar at this point?

In his haste, Peanut immediately used Flash.

The barrel flashed past the wall near LGD's blue buff.

On the same wall, within a few seconds, the barrel E came over and flashed past.

Little Peanut has truly taken the concept of "shopping" to a whole new level.

He's a complete comedian.

Even though the vast majority of the audience was there to support LGD, and LGD's top laner was currently surrounded by enemies.

But the audience still burst into laughter at the barrel's theatrical performance.

The barrel flashed over the wall, essentially taking a shortcut to the river.

After chasing Gnar for another second, Gragas' E skill was ready again.

Peanut quickly used his E skill to move.

The barrel, having slid a short distance, casually unleashed a Rolling Barrel (Q).

Just as Gnar stepped into SKT's red zone, Gragas's rolling barrel hit Gnar at the extreme range.

Seeing Gnar slowed down by Gragas' Q skill, Zhou Dian shook his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn't escape anymore.

After slowing down Gnar, the barrel was immediately thrown into front of Gnar by the Bursting Barrel (R).

Although Zhou Dian had already maneuvered Gnar to turn around and reposition himself just before the barrel was about to be enlarged.

However, due to the significant reduction in Gnar's movement speed, this attempt to reposition himself in advance was not enough to escape the blast radius of the exploding barrels.

Gnar was still blasted back by Gragas' ultimate.

If Gnar manages to dodge Gragas' ultimate, Peanut will probably have a meltdown on the spot.

Gnar, who was blasted back, was hit by Ryze's EW rune-enhanced root, and then Ryze took him down with a single EQ combo.

"They've been brought back! They can't escape now!" Miller's tone was full of regret. "Ryze got the second kill."

"At the crucial moment, it was Faker's Ryze who dictated the pace of the game!"

Miller said this with a hint of gritted teeth.

He then continued, "We fought off LGD's mid and jungle in the mid lane, then ganked Zhou Shen in the top lane, got the kill on Zhou Shen's Gnar, and then took the first tower."

"Why does Faker's Ryze have such a high win rate!" PDD gave a helpless wry smile, then said, "Faker is truly amazing!"

While Ryze and Gragas were chasing Gnar.

After learning a lesson from the previous two failed attempts to provide support, Huni finally made a smarter move this time.

Yasuo chased for a couple of steps and then stopped, immediately turning back to LGD's top turret and starting to push the turret, which had little health left.

SKT's top tower had already been whittled down to almost nothing by Gnar.

Zhou Dian only needs to send two or three minions into the tower to secure the first tower kill.

But now, not only is Gnar dead, but Yasuo has also taken the first tower.

Although Yasuo only got an assist after Gnar died, the gold from the first tower made him "come back to life" in front of Gnar.

The offensive and defensive dynamics between Gnar and Yasuo kept shifting back and forth.

The difference is that every time Yasuo takes the initiative, Huni relies on the help of his mid and jungle teammates.

Zhou Dian has made it this far in the game entirely on his own.

He can only rely on himself.

I just hope that his arduous struggle on the top lane and the immense pressure he bears alone can bring about the success of his teammates.

Yasuo solo-killed LGD's top lane tower, securing the first tower kill, and then pushed a wave of minions before retreating from the top lane. At this point, the game was nearing 18 minutes, and SKT's gold lead had exceeded 3,000.

"This is a huge development, LGD is in a tough spot!" Miller kept shaking his head, feeling anxious as he saw the situation turning against the LPL teams.

After leaving the top lane, huni's Yasuo went to the Baron pit and started fighting the Rift Herald.

At this moment, in the entire upper half of the map, apart from Gnar who had just respawned, there was only Yasuo.

He can fight the Rift Herald however he wants; no one will bother him.

At 18 minutes and 24 seconds into the game, Yasuo soloed the Rift Herald.

"For Huni's Yasuo, this wave was great. He got the first tower and also got a Rift Herald," Remember said.

“Yes, after this wave, Huni will regain the initiative,” Miller added.

"With the Rift Herald on him and the top lane tower destroyed, I think Yasuo is now in control of the top lane."

"It's really a coordinated attack with far-reaching consequences! It means that for the next ten minutes or so, Zhou Shen's Gnar will probably be unable to hold his head up against Yasuo."

Miller is not trying to belittle Zhou Dian.

After Gnar was dealt with like this, Miller really didn't know how to play Gnar anymore.

At this moment, on the big screen, Eimy's Prince came to SKT's blue buff area to provide vision.

The prince went quite deep and placed a ward next to SKT's three wolves.

However, the prince was spotted by SKT's vision control as he entered SKT's lower jungle.

SKT's bot lane duo immediately left their lane and headed straight for the jungle.

Peanuts immediately abandoned the half-killed Gromp.

The three rushed straight at the prince who had run into their jungle.

At this moment, in the commentary booth, PDD was carefully analyzing the problems that LGD encountered in this game.

"Actually, LGD got such a strong mid-jungle duo in this game, Malzahar and Jarvan IV, such a high burst combo. Faker's team didn't build Mercury's Treads, but they still had a hard time finding opportunities and were even controlled by Faker's Ryze."

"Oh dear, here we go again! That winding path leap is happening again!"

Before PDD could finish speaking, Ryze, who was farming in the mid lane and whose ultimate ability had just finished, suddenly activated Warp Jump (R).

A blue halo appeared in the middle of the lower river channel.

At this moment, Eimy's Prince had just escaped from SKT's blue buff area into the bottom river, with SKT's jungler, support, and bottom laner chasing after him.

The prince, having entered the river, was about to head upstream towards his mid laner who was coming to support him when he discovered that Ryze's ultimate ability was appearing in front of him.

With no other option, Eimy had to maneuver the prince straight ahead, plunging headfirst into the dragon pit.

There was still a little over a minute before the second earth dragon spawned, and the small dragon pit was empty.

During the previous escape, the prince had already used his EQ combo.

Entering the small dragon pit at this point clearly indicates an intention to teleport away from it.

Seeing that the prince had already reached the center of the dragon pit, and was just one step away from being able to flash into the dragon pit, Bang, eager to keep the enemy in place, controlled Varus to directly R-flash and keep the enemy in place.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and the Chains of Corruption (R) shot out from Varus's longbow, landing on the prince and immobilizing him.

At the same time, Ryze teleported out of his ultimate ability and reunited with Gragas and Lulu.

At this moment, LGD's bot lane duo arrived from the bot lane.

SKT had Malzahar in front, Xayah and Lulu behind, and Jarvan IV in the dragon pit on the left.

More importantly, at the narrow passage leading into the river that SKT's jungler, support, and bot lane had just passed through, which was also the place where Jarvan IV had fled, there was an LGD ward.

A blue teleportation vortex rose above, marking Gnar's teleportation.

This teleportation effectively cut off the route SKT had taken to get here.

SKT's planned encirclement of the Prince instantly turned into a counter-encirclement by LGD against the rest of SKT.

But this is in a riverbed, with roads leading in all directions.

LGD only blocked three directions and did not completely surround SKT.

SKT's players can also retreat towards the mid lane.

The moment Faker saw Gnar's flanking teleport, he immediately realized that this fight was over and he had to retreat to the mid lane.

But it was precisely at this moment that Bang's Varus used his ultimate and flash to kill the Prince.

Varus's flash caused him to become somewhat disconnected from his three teammates: mid, jungle, and support.

Instead, they got closer to Xayah and Janna who were rushing over.

Varus was essentially trapped in the dragon pit by LGD's bot lane duo.

imp's Xayah started attacking Varus right outside the Dragon Pit.

Wolf had no choice but to manipulate Lulu back into the dragon pit in an attempt to save Varus.

At this point, the prince had also broken free from Varus's ultimate ability and used Cataclysm (R) to trap Varus inside.

The prince had just unleashed his ultimate ability when Lulu turned him into a sheep, and at the same time, Lulu used her ultimate ability on Varus.

Varus then used his Barrier, followed by Lulu using Heal.

Despite unleashing a variety of skills, Varus's health was stubbornly locked.

On the contrary, Varus's damage output was ridiculously high after he stacked enough Guinsoo's Rageblade, plus the support of Lulu's Ardent Censer and Pix.

Despite withstanding Xayah's damage output, the prince was almost killed by a single polymorph control effect.

PYL's Janna was forced to use her Heal and ultimate to protect the Prince.

But that’s all!

Malzahar, who was originally blocking the SKT main force, had now retreated back to the Dragon Pit.

Malzahar cast a Q into the dragon pit from behind a wall.

As a result, they failed to land a Q on Varus.

Wei Shen panicked and, without thinking twice, flashed into the dragon pit with Malzahar.

One Hades Grip (R) pinned Varus to the ground, rendering him immobile.

Without the Mercury's Treads, Varus, who was under pressure, was naturally unable to move and was taken down by Xayah's two basic attacks.

Wolf at this moment also exemplified the saying "when disaster strikes, everyone flies away."

While Varus was being suppressed by Malzahar's ultimate, Lulu quickly went to the wall, flashed onto the wall, and escaped the dragon pit.

SKT's mid and jungle players were initially positioned slightly outside the dragon pit, hesitating and deciding whether to rescue the bot lane duo.

After seeing Varus die, Faker and Peanut immediately agreed on a strategy.

Get away!
However, it seemed a bit too late to slip away at this point.

Zhou Dian's Gnar has already teleported to the ground.

It's a big Nar!

Upon landing, Gnar used his E skill to jump behind Ryze, then turned around and used his ultimate to knock Ryze back, who had no Flash available.

This is the first time Gnar has used his ultimate ability in the game, which is now 19 minutes in.

After being knocked back, Gnar followed up with his W skill to stun Ryze on the spot.

But at this moment, Zhou Dian's four teammates were all in the dragon pit.
