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

Chapter 504 One tough time in the top lane, this game can still be turned around!
As soon as Malzahar's ultimate was interrupted, Wolf quickly maneuvered Leona to retreat to his teammates.

Varus, who was pushed away by Tristana's ultimate, immediately flashed back and applied the Corruption Chains!
However, the best opportunity has already been missed.

Karma used her E skill on Leona, which greatly increased Leona's movement speed, allowing her to retreat behind Gragas in an instant.

Varus's Flash-Ultimate hit the Gragas who was in the front.

Although the damage also spread to Leona, she then received healing from Tristana, which increased her movement speed again, allowing her to extend beyond the range of the Corruption Chains (R).

In other words, Varus's Flash Ultimate only trapped a full-health Gragas.

On LGD's side, Malzahar, Sejuani, and Varus, three key heroes, are no longer available, while SKT has not suffered any casualties.

Although Leona was already severely low on health, if they continued fighting, LGD would most likely lose.

Meanwhile, in LGD's team voice chat, Zhou Dian was constantly urging his teammates to retreat.

Because the troll who left the top lane earlier has already used teleport to the bottom half of the map.

Although LGD didn't have vision of the Troll Warlord at this moment, the visual effect of using the Teleport summoner spell couldn't be concealed.

Zhou Dian searched tirelessly in his own lower jungle and finally found the troll's teleportation point.

It's behind Xiaolongkeng.

Here, there is an explosive fruit that allows trolls to quickly reach the battlefield.

Even though his teammates had all received Zhou Dian's reminder.

But retreating isn't something you can just do whenever you want.

Huni's troll stepped on the Blast Cone and went down into the Dragon Pit, directly to the side of LGD's four players.

LGD had four players in the middle of the river, with Trundle below and the rest of SKT above. The only way to escape was to run to the sides.

At this moment, Zhou Dian also pressed the teleport button on his own true sight ward in the small bushes in the middle of the riverbed.

Although the giant bug only had a pair of cloth armor shoes and its equipment was terrible, it had little combat power.

But at least Cho'Gath has two area-of-effect control skills, Q and W, one skill and one silence, both of which are incredibly strong crowd control abilities.

Teleporting down can at least cover the retreat of teammates.

At this moment, on the big screen at the scene, the four LGD players in the river were seen running towards the middle lane with Malzahar, and towards the bottom lane with Varus and Lulu, all making their escape as close to the nearest lane as possible.

Pig Girl actually turned around on the spot, preparing to crawl into the little dragon pit.

It's obvious he wanted to use his Q skill to dash back to his own jungle from the dragon pit.

Although the LGD players didn't have specific vision of the Trundle, Zhou Dian had already pointed out its location, but Sejuani still rushed into the dragon pit like a headless fly.

It seems Eimy is really panicked!
After all, the reason LGD was surrounded by SKT was because of his reckless counter-jungling.

Huni was quite cunning this time. After the troll went down into the dragon pit, he walked along the wall to the left side of the pit, consciously blocking vision.

As soon as Sejuani stepped into the entrance of the Dragon Pit, she bumped into the troll.

The troll used his ultimate to suck up the low-health Sejuani's life force, and the Pillar of Ice (E) rose from the ground, pushing Sejuani a little bit towards the troll.

The two were already very close, and the troll's E skill pushed Sejuani right up to his face.

The troll unleashed a powerful bite (Q) at Sejuani, leaving her with only a sliver of health. Sejuani quickly used her Q skill to dash away and land next to Malzahar.

Although the troll's ultimate was still draining Sejuani's health, and Sejuani had so little health left that she should be able to be drained to death, Huni still decisively used Flash.

The troll flashed and struck Sejuani with his club, killing her instantly!

After taking down Sejuani, Huni turned her attention to Malzahar next to her.

However, next to Malzahar, there was a blue teleportation vortex.

Seeing the giant bug's teleport, Huni decided not to pursue Malzahar.

After all, Malzahar was still at full health and had Flash.

In addition, the giant bug that is about to teleport to the ground is definitely impossible to kill, so there's no need to waste time.

Seeing the troll turn around and Malzahar was safe, Zhou Dian canceled the teleport at the last moment.

Pig Girl is dead, so teleporting down now will be pointless.

At this time, there was still a large wave of red minions in front of LGD's second tower.

After canceling the teleport, the big bug can control the lane and farm properly in front of the tower for a while.

If only one jungler died, LGD's performance in this wave is barely acceptable.

But this sudden firefight in the river resulted in more than just the death of the lost Sejuani.

When Sejuani ran head-on into Trundle, PYL was thinking about whether to use Lulu's ultimate on Sejuani to save her, so Lulu paused for a moment.

Then PYL hesitated for a moment, and Sejuani was left with only a sliver of health, so she used her Q skill to dash out.

Just as the troll flashed in and killed Sejuani with a single blow, PYL's Lulu also used Flash.

He wanted to use Flash to give Sejuani his ultimate and save her.

But how can Lulu's Flash-Ultimate combo be faster than Trundle's Flash-Auto Attack?

Lulu's attempt to flash and save Sejuani not only failed to save Sejuani, but also resulted in her being surrounded by the SKT players.

PYL not only wasted his Flash, but also lost his own life.

If Lulu had used that Flash to escape, she definitely would have been able to get away this time.

Seeing this, Imp quickly controlled Varus and fled without looking back.

Surrounded and with nowhere to escape, Lulu could only run into the Little Dragon Pit.

However, Lulu has already used her Flash, and running into the Dragon Pit is a dead end.

The little cannon behind her launched a rocket jump (W) and sat down on Lulu's head.

Lulu used Wild Growth (R) on herself, and the suddenly enlarged Lulu launched the small cannonball down from mid-air.

PYL's move was cool, but it was ultimately useless.

It's just a futile waste of a powerful move!

Its only effect might be to buy two more seconds.

Two seconds later, Lulu died in the dragon pit, and the kill was taken by the cannon.

Before Lulu died, she fired a Shining Lance (Q) at the low-health Leona who had followed her.

Meanwhile, Varus, who had already run to the blue side's bottom lane tri-bush, hit Leona with a charged piercing arrow (Q) from a distance.

Lulu and Varus landed their Q skills on the low-health Leona one after the other, but Leona still had about ten points of health left and didn't die.

Luck wasn't on LGD's side this time either.

"Oh, we were just a little short of replacing Wolf, what a pity!" Miller kept shaking his head.

"This was a huge loss! SKT got a 2-for-0 trade, it feels like LGD gave away a huge advantage!"

"This could very well be the turning point of this game! On a larger scale, it could even be the turning point of this best-of-five final!" Miller continued.

"It really shouldn't have happened, really, LGD should never have fought with SKT in the jungle at this time."

“Eimy’s attempt to counter the Gragas was a bit hasty. Sejuani and Karma just happened to pass by and didn’t see Faker,” PDD added. “And it’s strange that Faker would happen to be in that spot!”

On the large screen at the scene, a replay of the team fight that had just occurred, caused by "a single Swamp Frog," began.

"But actually, LGD focusing fire on Leona wasn't a problem. However, SKT's Tristana and Gragas used their ultimates too well afterwards, which led to..."

Before the words were even finished, the OB suddenly cut off the replay and switched back to the live feed.

Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Wei Shen's Malzahar was suddenly surrounded by SKT's top, mid, and jungle players under LGD's mid-lane tower. Faker's Karma accelerated forward, chained Malzahar with her W skill, and took the lead in tanking the tower.

Malzahar lingered under the tower for a couple of moments before deciding to Flash away.

Just as she flashed, Karma's W skill's root effect was triggered at the same time.

Malzahar, who had flashed over the wall, was trapped in place.

Wei Shen's hesitation directly led to his downfall.

Of course, hesitation was not the direct cause of Wei Shen's tower dive and death.

The main problem was that he himself wasn't careful enough.

After suffering a 0-for-2 exchange, with their jungler and support both dying, LGD completely lost vision around their red buff.

At this point, Malzahar shouldn't have defended the tower alone when the troll pushed the lane to the tower.

Because at this point, the movements of SKT's mid and jungle players were completely unknown.

In fact, when Zhou Dian saw the Troll Warlord push the mid lane minion wave to LGD's mid tower by himself, and LGD did not see Karma and Gragas in their vision range, Zhou Dian's Cho'Gath started to rush from the top lane to the mid lane.

He wanted to provide support for Wei Shen.

Just as the big bug reached behind the three wolves, Karma and Gragas emerged from LGD's red buff area and appeared behind LGD's mid tower.

At this point, if Wei Shen hesitated any longer, he would simply give up his head.

When Wei Shen saw SKT's mid and jungle players coming from behind, he should have flashed from under the mid tower to the blue buff area.

With the help of a large insect, it will definitely survive.

Even if you don't Flash the moment you see someone, but wait until Karma's W skill chain hits Malzahar, then immediately Flashing will definitely break Karma's chain.

Unless Karma can use Flash before Malzahar, which is obviously impossible.

But Wei Shen's first reaction was to stay under the tower and see if he could trade with it.

Then he realized that Malzahar, without his ultimate ability, would not be able to take down any of SKT's top, mid, and jungle players, even under the tower. That's when he remembered to use Flash.

It was too late!

Wei Shen just wasted his life in a flash.

If you could flash earlier, even if you still die in the end, at least you could force Karma and Gragas to use their flashes.

But now, having lost Flash and dying in vain, just like PYL's Lulu before, it's like losing both wife and army.

In the LGD team voice chat, Wei Shen said "mine" several times in a row.

Before Wei Shen said that, Eimy and PYL, who had died in the previous river team fight, had already said "mine" several times.

Zhou Dian shook his head and controlled the giant bug to turn around and go back to the second tower to farm minions.

"Stop talking about this. Take it slow. When it comes to selling or withdrawing, be decisive about using your skills. Don't hesitate!" Zhou Dian's voice was very calm, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Our potential advantage is still there, which is that we are leading 2-0. SKT is eager to win this game. The more advantage they have, the more anxious they will be. We just need to wait for them to make a mistake!"

"Don't rush, brothers!" Zhou Dian said calmly.

"Ok!"

"OK!"

"no problem!"

Zhou Dian's teammates responded one after another.

At this moment, the river team fight that hadn't been replayed earlier was replayed on the big screen.

On the LPL commentary booth.

"In the replay just now, Wei Shen was once again tower-dived and killed by SKT with three players. Even after using his Flash, he was still instantly killed," Miller said.

"This is actually a continuation of the team fight just now. It means that LGD was wiped out in a zero-for-three exchange, which is a huge loss!"

At this point, the game had been going on for 11 minutes and 30 seconds, and LGD was trailing 0-5 in kills.

In terms of economic disparity, LGD is already lagging behind SKT by nearly 3,000 yuan.

The disadvantages are enormous.

Currently, LGD's top, mid, and jungle positions are all in a state of disarray.

Only imp's Varus in the bottom lane, even after the failed team fight, still has a slight advantage over bang's Tristana.

This is undoubtedly the biggest benefit for LGD.

Because LGD's lineup for this game was designed around the bottom lane.

It's actually almost a four-protect-one strategy.

As long as this "one" develops well, the disadvantages in other positions will not drag down the overall situation too much.

Conversely, SKT, who also had a near-four-protect-one lineup, had their "one" support, Tristana, who wasn't doing well.

SKT's advantages in other positions did not significantly boost the overall situation.

"SKT had an excellent early game rhythm and a huge advantage," Remember said.

"The only thing LGD can look forward to in this game is their bot lane," PDD added.

"Zhou Shen also faltered in this game. There's nothing we can do. Even if Zhou Shen gets a good start, most of the time, the hero Cho'Gath can only be carried by his teammates."

The observer's view switches to the bottom lane, where Varus and Lulu are still blocking SKT's bottom tower and clearing the wave.

Even though SKT just won a decisive team fight, the Tristana and Leona combination is still no match for LGD's bot lane duo.

We can only wait for Gragas and Karma to gank.

The main task for imp and PYL now is to quickly push down SKT's low-health next tower, and then switch lanes to push towers in other lanes.

This is currently the only way for LGD to proactively revitalize their rhythm.

This is obvious, and SKT can easily see it too.

Therefore, SKT will definitely target LGD's bot lane next.

If SKT can shut down LGD's only remaining strong lane, the bottom lane, then they can practically say that this game is in the bag.

After Blank's Gragas tower-dived and killed Malzahar, he returned to the fountain, built a Cinderhulk jungle item, and then headed straight to the bottom lane.

He was too lazy to even farm the red buff at home, and just let Huni's troll eat it.

With the red buff, the Troll Warlord becomes even less of a match for Cho'Gath on the sidelines, easily getting stuck and killed by the Troll Warlord.

Faker's Karma also went home and built the Athene's Unholy Grail.

SKT's mid and jungle players are very strong right now.

At this moment, both junglers were lingering near the bottom lane.

Both mid laners pushed their lanes and headed to the bottom lane, leaving no one paying attention to the top lane.

Both top laners are in a forgotten state, simply playing by themselves, like playing a single-player game.

This is really tough on Zhou Dian!

The troll had already pulled out the Ravenous Hydra, making its single-target combat power ridiculously high.

The giant insect was still wearing a pair of cloth armor shoes.
