"EDG!!! Go EDG!!!"

"EDG!!! Go EDG..."

"EDG!!! Add..."

"KT!!! Fighting!!!"

"KT!!! Go KT..."

"KT!!! Add..."

Amid cheers from the audience, the two sides began the game.

With these team compositions chosen by both sides, it's clear that the top laner will be the only one playing in the early game.

The blue team's Caitlyn Thresh, facing Kalista and Ashe, if Maokai doesn't go to the bottom lane early on, Caitlyn won't even be able to survive a near-death experience.

Thresh is also a support champion with a very high skill ceiling and a very low skill floor.

The big tree must go to the bottom lane to protect the bot lane duo and help them farm.

Faced with the combined crowd control of Maokai and Thresh, EDG's bot lane duo had no room to maneuver, so Gragas had to come and help them.

At least until level 6, EDG's bot lane duo will be unable to withstand the pressure.

If Maokai comes twice, KT's bot lane duo will gain a level advantage, and Thresh will definitely die if he lands a Q.

Smeb's Fiora in the top lane was very savvy; he didn't go to the river to stand guard, giving Jax an opportunity to shine.

The big tree is guarding the entrance to the blue zone, so it will be able to gather information immediately if EDG tries to invade.

Zhou Hanyang couldn't find Fiora, and instead of waiting for the minion wave to come before going back to lane, he deliberately stood under Fiora's turret.

Fiora must follow the minion wave to the lane, and the moment the two sides meet, the weapon's weakness will appear below.

Fiora's first vulnerability will definitely spawn in one of the bottom left positions.

Once the opening appears below, the weapon immediately retreats.

At this point, Fiora could try using her long Q to hit the weak spot below her weapon; there's a high chance she'll land a hit.

However, Smeb did not do that.

Fiora's Q has such a long range that the weapon has plenty of time to react and can activate Counter Strike.

If you lose both your units and minions before the minion waves even meet, you lose the right to reach level 2 first.

However, what Smeb didn't know was that the weapon was actually constantly moving backward while staying within the aggro range of the minions.

Moreover, because the weapon's movement path is almost exactly the same as the blue team's minions, the minions of both sides seem to be about to meet normally.

But just as they were about to meet, the weapon shifted downwards.

This movement caused the first minion on the blue team to be pulled back.

This tug-of-war caused the two sides' minion waves to not engage in normal combat, but instead formed a concentrated fire lane.

The weapon immediately began to move towards the blue team's minions. By the time the weapon reached them, the vulnerability at the bottom had expired and the weapon had moved to the top.

The weapon started auto-attacking the minions, and at this point, Fiora had no choice but to let the weapon push the lane and reach level 2 first!

If Fiora dares to auto-attack Jax, Jax will activate Counter Strike the instant he raises his hand, allowing him to kite and slash through Fiora's health.

If Fiora doesn't want to get traded kills for free, she has to use her Q to create distance. But if she misses her Q, the cooldown is about the same as Jax's E, putting Fiora at a complete disadvantage from the start.

So Smeb didn't come up, letting the weapon stack its passive by attacking minions, and using his Q skill to harass the weapon while trying to reach level 2 first.

It has to be said that Smeb does have some talent.

His control over Fiora's Q skill is quite good. If the Q is too short, it will hit a minion; if the Q is too long, he will be countered by the weapon.

Only by maintaining a perfectly ambiguous position, where you can land your Q on the weapon but the weapon can't retaliate, can you ensure you have an advantage in trading blows.

Fortunately, although Fiora used her Q skill to harass the weapon, she didn't hit any weaknesses, which was completely within Zhou Hanyang's acceptable range.

After all, Zhou Hanyang started with Doran's Shield, while Fiora started with Doran's Blade.

At that very moment, the first soldiers on both sides began to fall.

Smeb was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

He then realized why the weapon player needed to pull the minion wave that early in the game.

If the minions of both sides engage in normal combat, then at this point the first three minions of the red side will basically be in a state of low health.

If Fiora goes forward and auto-attacks Jax, Jax has to use his E skill to chase and unleash a combo on Fiora.

Fiora's skillful positioning and kiting can lure the enemy champion, who has activated their E skill, closer to the blue team.

As long as the weapon deals damage to Fiora, the blue team's minions will definitely attack the weapon, so the red team's minions will not die.

Fiora can even wait until the weapon's Counter Strike ends, then use her Q skill to knock down the weak point above the weapon and then back off.

Next, the weapon's weakness will spawn in the bottom left corner. With the minion wave close to the blue side, Fiora can gain a level 1 advantage by taking advantage of the weapon's weakness in the bottom left corner.

As a result of the weapon's previous impact on the minion wave, the minion wave became a focus of fire, and the minions basically died one by one.

This resulted in Fiora completely losing her chance to play the game.

For many professional players, their prowess is built upon extensive laning practice.

Why do so many players perform poorly in the country?

Because they are very familiar with the domestic players and play training matches every day, they know each other very well, and even know the color of each other's underwear.

When playing against foreign players, their laning strategies are completely different, so it all comes down to on-the-spot reaction.

Why does WBG want to play against LNG? It's because some of the veteran players don't understand how to beat foreign teams.

Why is BLG so good at beating foreign teams? Why do they send the LCK's top seed home every year? Because BLG doesn't play by the rules; they prioritize mechanics over strategy.

In many people's eyes, Smeb is LCK's own Uzi?

Zhou Hanyang, however, did not think so; he was at most just breathing for LCK itself.

If you try something new, he'll be completely stumped.

The weapon player last-hit three melee minions in the first wave, while Fiora could only last-hit one with her Q skill.

However, soon when the ranged minions started to clash and the second wave of minions from both sides began to converge.

The weapon's weakness has appeared on the left!

Fiora immediately panicked and used a short Q to target the opening on the left side of her weapon.

Smeb knew he had to start trading blows with Jax at this point; otherwise, if Jax reached level 2 first, he would be controlled by Jax, and while he could get experience, last-hitting would become a problem.

Furthermore, the weapon can use the opportunity of pushing the lane to recall to base for supplies. At that time, Fiora will not be able to recall and will be unable to fight the weapon.

Just as Fiora unleashed her short Q, Zhou Hanyang, who had Smeb firmly under his control, anticipated this and activated his weapon's E skill, Counter Strike, blocking Fiora's Q skill.
