LOL: Strange champion pool? Just tell me if you've won or not.

The big screen began replaying the solo kill under the tower.

Cassiopeia led a large wave of minions into the tower, stood in the classic position facing Fiora across the tower, and then spread a pool of poison at Fiora's feet.

With her Q skill rendered useless again, Fiora immediately chose to move out of the W skill's range and approach Cassiopeia.

The instant she leaves Cassiopeia's W skill, Fiora uses QW to approach Cassiopeia while simultaneously blocking a predicted Q from Cassiopeia.

As long as she's not poisoned, Cassiopeia's E skill won't do much damage.

In addition, the snake woman in front of us is only level 5, so we have a good chance of fighting her!

With his back to the defensive tower, Ray had never felt so powerful.

Having defeated the world champion in a single match, the opportunity to get revenge is right in front of him, and even the chance to win this match is right in front of him.

Even a world champion cannot defeat an opponent when they are at a disadvantage in positioning or skill!

Come on, let me see just how good the legendary top lane king really is!

It is our duty to rebuild EDG's glory as the undefeated champion in domestic battles!

Ray's gaze was resolute, his left hand fingers dancing on the keyboard.

Fiona wielded her rapier, leaned forward, and used a Sky-Piercing Slash to close the distance. In mid-air, the tip of her sword deflected, and Laurent unleashed his Mind's Eye Blade.

Not only did it block Cassiopeia's Q skill, it also applied a significant slow effect to her.

It reduces not only movement speed but also attack speed.

This reduced the Cassiopeia's damage output significantly.

Since you can't weave in auto-attacks during the intervals between casting the E skill Twin Fangs, the damage is still a bit lacking.

However, when you have an equipment advantage, weaving in basic attacks is simply unnecessary.

Fang Han controlled the snake woman to move sideways, silently counting down the numbers in his mind.

That's about it, 3, 2, 1, die!

As if it were pre-planned, the ranged minions walking on top of Cassiopeia's poison pool died from the poison just before it disappeared.

The experience gained from the three ranged units helped the Cassiopeia reach level six.

The snake woman's turn of her head not only fooled Ray, but also made him lower all his guard and defenses.

Ray only realized that the snake woman had planned this all along, the moment she reached level six.

The timing for stockpiling lanes, the timing for using up resources, the timing for entering the tower and making a move... all of these are calculated.

In a normal laning phase, a professional player can judge when the opponent will reach level six.

But the laning phase in the top lane wasn't normal for even a minute!

The moment Ray saw the Cassiopeia turn around and unleash her ultimate attack, he took his hands off the keyboard and abandoned all further actions.

If you can't dodge the ultimate attack, the rest of the outcome is self-evident.

With Conqueror stacked and Twin Fangs combined with the second Q skill off cooldown, the already low-health Fiora was instantly killed.

A bucket of cold water extinguished Ray's enthusiasm and hope, and also completely set the tone for the laning phase in the top lane.

Fiora will never be able to turn things around now.

"After completing the five steps, I declare this Fiora useless."

"Unless the jungler ganks the top lane two or three times, it's already a dead end."

"No, ganking her two or three times won't help. With this level of development, the jungler will only give away another kill."

"This is Arthur's Cassiopeia, the number one Cassiopeia in the country who made all sorts of production crews and top-tier players cry on the top of the Rift."

"Who says there's only a mid-lane king in LOL? Our LPL also has a world-class top-lane king!"

"You know what, you really have to admit, this top lane mage carry build has made up for the team's lack of damage output caused by Xiaohu playing utility heroes."

"It's just that split pushing isn't very comfortable; Cassiopeia's tower-pushing speed can't compare to that of a light warrior."

"..."

This isn't a competition; it's like watching a ranked game highlight reel of the top player in China.

The snake in the country takes five steps, and once those five steps are completed, it is sent away.

It followed the same trajectory as the slice, except that Ray persisted a little longer than those amazing guys in the slice.

You lasted at least seven minutes, which is pretty good.

You should know that in ranked games on the Chinese Super Server, even the best top laners can only last five minutes against Arthur before they're completely outmatched.

What could the factory manager do? Just like last year's summer finals, he could only choose to give up on the top lane and let Ray fend for himself.

There's nothing you can do, it's your own fault for insisting on bumping into him.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.

The last person who stubbornly tried to play against Arthur has already left EDG.

Samsung, the runner-up team that wanted to target Arthur at the World Championship, was also utterly defeated.

Arthur will punish all the stubborn ones, bringing them back to reality with a resounding slap.

Letme, who is also a champion top laner for RNG, said in an interview that it is absolutely impossible for one person to break through Arthur's defense.

Arthur's floor is "50/50". Even if you dominate him online, he can ensure that he will not fall behind.

Absolutely terrifying...

Escaping is only a temporary solution. When the game time reaches ten minutes, the Vanguard problem is once again facing the EDG players.

Looking at the equipment alone, the combat strength of the top, mid, and jungle players on both sides is about the same, with the only difference being in the top lane.

Whenever the enemy top laner is Letme or Zz1tai, Clearlove will command the team to engage in a skirmish.

But the enemy top laner is Arthur...

After much deliberation, the factory manager finally gave in.

Unless the top, mid, and jungle players have a combined lead of more than 3,000, they can't even engage in a single team fight in the upper half of the map!

"We can't fight, we can't even scratch it. Let's go and trade for Xiaolong."

"Not fight? If we drag it out to twenty minutes, the enemy top laner's advantage will only increase. Are we really going to ignore the Baron fight at twenty minutes?"

Scout panicked when he heard that.

The gap in the top lane will only widen. A lead of nearly 2,000 gold at ten minutes is nothing, but at twenty minutes it could be a difference of a whole item or even one and a half items.

At that time, the Dragon Team will still have to face the Cassiopeia with almost three pieces of armor.

The factory manager chuckled self-deprecatingly.

What can they do? What else can they do?

Even if they target Arthur now, what are their chances of winning?

They had faced this kind of choice countless times last year, and the price of their stubbornness was losing the Summer Championship.

This feeling of having your fate in the hands of your opponent is truly awful...

The factory manager let out a long breath and closed his eyes.

We can no longer sit idly by and wait for death. Every minute and every second before the dragon is born is a countdown to the end of this game.

Another finals, I don't want last year's regrets to repeat themselves!

I don't want to send away another batch of teammates.

So what if you're a world champion? You've already taken one from me. Don't even think about taking a second one!

The factory manager narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice:

"Listen to me first, let's trade this wave for the dragon."

"After they finish taking the Rift Herald, when there's a vision gap in the top lane, we'll go up and kill Cassiopeia, helping Fiora regain some advantage so she can split push in the mid-game."

After regrouping, the five members of EDG worked together and headed straight for the dragon pit.

Uzi casually unleashed his ultimate ability as he passed by the dragon pit, revealing the five EDG players who were fighting the dragon.

"Let's go, let's go, Shi Senming. We can't stand it! If we look any longer, they'll come up and attack us."

Big Mouth and Braum took off running, preferring to take a long detour through their own jungle to return to their lane rather than give them a chance.

This is discipline.

Since that's the case, both sides taking the Herald and the Dragon respectively means neither side loses out in this exchange.

But EDG wants to earn more.

Five players gathered in the bottom half of the map, but securing a small dragon wasn't enough.

"Let's go, meet up in the bottom lane, and kill their bottom lane duo."
