Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

As one of the top junglers among the "clingy" junglers.

Reading the game and the map is one of the basic skills of this type of jungler.

The core of this ability is not offensive ganking, but defensive counter-ganking.

In S5 and S6, EDG, with its top-tier dual carries, relied on its elite team fights as its core strength for survival.

If they can smoothly transition from the laning phase to team fights, their two carries will definitely make a significant impact in team fights.

Deft clearly struggles to gain an advantage against Uzi in lane, so why is he the strictest priest?

The reason is that if RNG cannot gain a significant advantage during the laning phase, they will basically lose to EDG in team fights.

In the past two years, Mingkai has been working to complement the top Korean duo's playstyle!

This meant that in the early stages of the game, he was responsible for defense and counter-ganking, and in team fights, he was responsible for initiating team fights.

How can you expect a jungler who has no offensive capabilities to attack?

This is also the fundamental reason why EDG suffered a crushing defeat in the S6 World Championship, a season dominated by aggressive junglers.

Because Mingkai, and indeed the entire EDG team, simply didn't know how to attack.

They simply don't have that ability.

However, while losing their offensive capabilities, they honed their defensive counter-attacking skills to the extreme.

Unlike Karsa, who only knows how to acknowledge his father, Mingkai is the type of jungler who takes care of his father.

Karsa is the kind of jungler who only acknowledges you as his father if you gain an advantage in lane.

Mingkai, on the other hand, made the investment and personally invested in creating a powerful figure.

Mingkai's theory of "investing to support one's father" was also regarded as a bible by Abramovich after he retired.

He frequently used it when disciplining Jiejie and Junjia.

The first "father" that Mingkai acknowledged in this game was obviously mid laner Scout.

At this moment, the excavator arrives in the mid lane, which means that Mingkai is using his jungle clearing time and rhythm to invest in Scout's LeBlanc.

Why did EDG bench Mingkai and choose to bring on Ai Luoli in the Spring Split?

Could it be because of Mingkai's poor performance at the S6 World Championship?

of course not!

The main reason is that Mingkai's playing style lacks aggression; he still uses the same old "supporting his dad" style in the game.

However, whether it's A-Guang in the top lane or Zet in the bottom lane AD position, it's still difficult for them to cover the bottom in late-game team fights.

This means that Mingkai can only support the mid laner Scout, but no matter how strong Scout is, he can't carry the team alone in the late game team fights.

In this situation, Mingkai suddenly fell into confusion, and for a moment he stepped out of his comfort zone of the previous two years. He didn't know how to win the game, so he went to the bench.

But now, EDG has gained another "daddy" in addition to their mid-laner Scout.

Moreover, Zhou Hanyang, who is on the road, is also a super dad.

Mingkai immediately returned to his comfort zone.

He simply adjusted his approach, changing the mid-to-low dual CPUs to mid-to-high dual CPUs, and was able to enter 'overclocking' mode.

Spider will definitely cause trouble in the early game, but EDG's bot lane simply can't gank.

The combination of Kalista and Lulu is difficult to kill, but it can be effective against the Tristana and Janna combination, even if Elise comes to gank.

EDG's bot lane duo is strong in 2v3 situations and has a high chance of counter-attacking.

Therefore, spiders can only be used in the mid-to-high range!

Of course, there's another possibility: the spider might choose not to cause trouble.

However, if Spider doesn't cause trouble, it's actually a situation that Mingkai would prefer to accept.

Neither jungler is causing any trouble, so my team's carry can easily dominate your team's carry in lane.

Even if the excavator manages to counter-gank and end up ganking nothing, Mingkai can completely accept it.

Simply put, you can win by playing one-on-one.

As the excavator crouched in the grass on the upper riverbed, the spider had already approached from the lower riverbed.

However, LeBlanc's first wave of minions was pulled upwards, and she continued to pull minions in the same way, positioning herself upwards. From RNG's perspective, this was perfectly reasonable.

RNG's mid and jungle players never expected that the Rek'Sai would actually gank behind LeBlanc.

"You go first, go first! Don't hold back your skills, the excavator might be attacking the red buff or the F6!" Spicy Hot Pot said after arriving at the bottom river. "Let's finish this quickly! By the way, are there any wards in the bottom river?"

"There might be wards in the upper river, but definitely not in the lower river." After saying that, Xiaohu immediately used Galio's W skill to taunt.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaohu used W to flash and instantly taunt.

With the hint from Mala Xiangguo, Xiaohu naturally wouldn't hold back on his skills.

Although the control time of the instant W flash taunt is relatively short, its advantage lies in its stability and surprise.

If LeBlanc manages to dodge a W-flash, then this game is probably over.

Galio's instant W flash successfully taunted LeBlanc!

The LeBlanc is positioned towards the upper river, while the Spider is standing in the bushes of the lower river, some distance away from the LeBlanc.

So the spider immediately used Flash to form a cocoon, followed by crowd control, and then began to attack the LeBlanc.

Galio used his E skill to follow up with crowd control, knocking LeBlanc into the air.

QA starts outputting damage from LeBlanc.

However, just as the two approached the enchantress's face...

The excavator, which had been crouching in the grass along the upper river, suddenly appeared and knocked the spider and Galio away together.

"Watch the mid laner, watch the mid laner!" Mingkai's urgent voice rang out.

Galio's health had already been depleted by LeBlanc, and even after using a health potion, his health was less than two-thirds. In contrast, Elise was at full health.

With Galio and Elise dealing damage, LeBlanc's health was reduced to only one-fifth.

However, Scout did not use Flash immediately. Instead, he used LeBlanc's W skill to create distance, and then turned around and hit Galio with QE.

The QE skill also subtly adds a basic attack, continuing the Fervor of War.

The excavator's early-game damage output was already explosive; when it unleashed its full combo on Galio, it reduced Galio's health to less than a third.

The spider no longer had any mobility to chase the LeBlanc, and besides, the LeBlanc had Flash, so it could only attack the excavator while fighting and retreating.

Galio also wanted to run, but his E skill and Flash were both on cooldown, and he was also stuck by the Rek'Sai's red buff.

LeBlanc's E skill was quickly triggered, locking Galio in place.

LeBlanc activated her second W to return to her original position. With the fully stacked Fervor of Battle talent, and with the help of Rek'Sai's follow-up auto-attacks, she took down Galio's last bit of health in three auto-attacks.

The spider could only flee in disarray.

FirstBlood!!

EDG's Scout (LeBlanc) has killed RNG's Xiaohu (Colossus)!!!

"Huh? First blood!!! The factory manager got a counter-gank on Xiangguo." The kid immediately shouted:

"The factory manager's awareness was off the charts this time. He even arrived in the mid lane to counter-gank before Xiangguo, and waited for a full half minute before finally succeeding in counter-ganking Xiangguo!"

"This is the factory manager's style. Compared to aggressive ganks, his counter-ganks always allow his teammates to lane safely."

Miller expressed his surprise: "If LeBlanc gets this first blood and goes back to base to buy items, she will completely control the mid lane, right?"

“EDG was clearly well-prepared. Their LeBlanc with Fervor of Battle stunned Galio, and then their jungler came to counter-gank, catching RNG’s mid and jungle off guard.”

Guan Zeyuan took a slight breath: "After the defeat in last year's World Championship, coupled with the personnel changes..."

As a result, EDG's performance throughout this year's Spring Split can be described as bumpy and inconsistent!

But today, it feels like I've returned to last summer and seen the EDG team that was undefeated in the regular season!

With a clear plan and method, proceeding step by step, gradually eroding their strength! It still has to be the factory manager; he is the soul of EDG.

No matter how other personnel change, as long as Clearlove is still with EDG, EDG will always be the EDG we know and love!

This chapter details why the bottom lane couldn't be ganked and the blue buff in the upper jungle hadn't been taken yet, so it was only used for counter-ganking in the mid lane.

All the reasons were explained clearly: why the spider wanted to catch the target, and why the excavator wanted to crouch.

As you can see, the reasons for the counter-gank will not be described in detail in the subsequent matches!

Each different scenario will only be described and explained in detail the first time it appears; subsequent occurrences will not.
