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

After both sides selected their lineups, they entered Summoner's Rift.

(Blue side SKT) vs (Red side EDG):

Top Lane: Camille vs. Colossus

Jungle: [Void Burrower] vs. [Demacian Prince]

Mid Lane: [Cassiopeia] vs [Orianna]

ADC: Ashe vs. Reverse Feather

Support: [Awakener] vs. [Phantom Feather]

"EDG!!! Go EDG!!!"

"EDG!!! Go EDG..."

"EDG!!! Add..."

"SKT!!! Go SKT!!!"

"SKT!!! Go SKT..."

"SKT!!! Add..."

Amid cheers from the audience, the Summoner's Rift appeared on the big screen.

Both sides formed a long, single-file line as they left their bases, focusing on defending their own areas and showing no intention of invading the enemy jungle.

Meiko, the support player, left a ward in the river to prevent the enemy jungler from entering the blue buff area at level one. He then went to lane with Xayah and camped in the bush near SKT's bottom tower.

"SKT's lineup in this game is a standard team fight lineup." Ruofeng's voice rang out: "In terms of laning, all three lanes are actually quite difficult to fight."

The top laner might gain lane priority early on, but will lose it in the mid-game. The mid lane is about even, depending on the players' skill levels. The bot lane, however, is simply outmatched.

"Just play it safe in the early laning phase. You'll have a huge advantage in team fights in the mid to late game, but be careful of Peanut's ganks in the early game!" Wawa agreed, saying, "Rek'Sai has many ganking angles in the early game, so we have to be careful."

"SKT will definitely try to engage in direct confrontations in the mid-to-late game, then let Camille split push. The key in the mid-game is whether they can initiate team fights. If they can get those team fights going, EDG's win rate is quite high." Miller nodded slightly: "Both sides are in lane! Huh? The bot lane used Flash at level 1?"

In most cases, Rakan will learn the Q skill at level 1 in the laning phase.

Rakan is too weak in the early game, so he can use his Q skill to farm minions from the back.

However, when Xayah and Rakan face off against enchanter supports together, you can choose to learn the W skill at level 1.

At the same time, Xayah can also learn the W skill at level 1, and both the bot lane duo can gain an attack speed increase.

The two went online early and crouched in the bushes, with Karma and Ashe following the minion wave to their lane.

Neither Karma nor Ice went into their own bushes.

Wolf even thought that EDG's bot lane duo was helping Jarvan IV with his blue buff, so he took a few steps forward, preparing to press the position and deliver an RQ.

It's not that SKT's bot lane duo doesn't check bushes; it's just that EDG's bot lane duo rarely does that kind of opening strategy.

There is almost no data available about Xayah and Rakan!

League of Legends is also an information game.

What ward placements does the opponent like to place, when do they like to do it, and how do they like to start the game...?

Before these competitions begin, the coaches will give the athletes a heads-up.

Therefore, many designs are only used once and then discarded.

SKT's bot lane duo clearly lacked the information and strategy that EDG had for their opening game.

Rakan emerged directly from the bushes using his W ability, lifting up both the unsuspecting Ashe and Karma.

At the same time, the ignition was immediately applied to Karma, but not to Ice.

In this game, Ashe is using Cleanse, which can remove the Ignite effect.

Luo decisively started auto-attacking Karma.

Xayah also emerged from the bushes, activated her W skill, and began auto-attacking Karma.

Karma also took Ignite in this game, applying it to Xayah.

Xayah decisively used Purify to remove the Ignite effect and then chased after Karma to deal damage.

Karma attempted to hit Xayah with her RQ combo, but Rakan blocked it.

Ashe slowed Xayah and Rakan with her W, and while auto-attacking, Karma was still being chased and attacked.

In just a few breaths, Karma's health dropped to only one-third.

Xayah and Rakan, however, were still glued to Karma's face.

hum!

Left with no other option, Karma had to use Flash to create distance.

Even though she used Flash, Xayah could still auto-attack Karma, since Xayah and Rakan emerged from behind Ashe and Karma.

To prevent Karma from continuing to lose health to Xayah's auto-attacks, Ashe can only act as a buffer for Karma, applying pressure by auto-attacking Xayah and slowing her down while preventing Xayah from continuing to auto-attack Karma.

Seeing that she had no chance to kill him, Xia pulled herself into the bushes, thus getting out of sight.

Although EDG's bot lane duo failed to secure the first blood, they firmly controlled the bot lane.

Both Karma's RQ and Ashe's W are AOE skills, and they both affect the minion wave.

The minion wave is pushing towards the red side. Xayah and Rakan, who have an absolute advantage in health and summoner spells, can firmly control the bot lane rhythm before the first recall, as long as they don't get hit by Karma's RQ combo.

As for the situation after returning to base and then going back to lane, that depends on whether the advantage gained before the first return to base was large enough.

"EDG planned this move, didn't they?" Wawa's voice was full of surprise: "Xayah and Rakan are so strong at level 1? They actually suppressed Ashe and Karma?"

"That was a great play by Rakan. He lifted two enemies with his W, and Xayah has AOE abilities, so her auto-attacks could whittle down two enemies. SKT's bot lane duo probably never expected EDG to come up with this kind of strategy!"

Ruofeng was also very surprised: "We all thought that EDG's bot lane could only withstand pressure, but we didn't expect them to take the initiative this time."

"Before Attack joined EDG, EDG always played with their mid and bot lane as their main carries!" Miller chuckled. "Z was just willing to play the sacrificial role to win the game, which doesn't mean he's really bad! Huh? They're fighting in the top lane too..."

When the bottom lane decided the outcome, the top lane also started fighting.

Camille learned her W skill at level 1 and immediately leveled up her E skill to kick Galio at level 2.

Huni was unaware that Zhou Hanyang had deliberately made him steal the number 2.

When Camille used her second E skill to kick Galio, Galio used his E skill to charge at Camille.

Ok?

Huni was slightly taken aback by Galio's actions, then sneered inwardly.

court death! ! !

He is SKT's top laner and Faker's teammate.

Does Huni know that Galio's E skill can negate crowd control and slows?

Of course he knows!

Galio's E skill can negate crowd control, and it's mostly done in the opposite direction, making it easier to time the timing to successfully negate the control.

It's extremely difficult for a positive E to negate control.

But Huni didn't know that what was difficult for him was just commonplace for Zhou Hanyang.

This is the same principle as how Tristana's W skill negates crowd control.

Do the professional players in S7 know about this mechanism?

of course I know!

However, not many people played this game because at this stage, people hadn't reached the point where they needed to rely on this mechanism to determine the winner.

However, by S13 and S14, using the mechanism to counteract control has become an essential skill for everyone.

In a market with limited growth potential, the competition boils down to the maximum ceiling.

Galio may seem simple, but he actually has a very high skill ceiling! Both his E and W abilities can negate crowd control effects!
