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

The little cannon got two kills, and with the increase in level, its attack range increased, making it less difficult to lane against Kalista than it initially was.

Mala Xiangguo's Spider occasionally roamed the bottom lane and successfully secured the first dragon, an earth dragon.

The Earth Dragon in Season 7 no longer grants shields to heroes, but instead increases damage to buildings and epic monsters.

The Earth Dragon can help the Cannon push towers.

While RNG secured the dragon, EDG also secured the Rift Herald.

In the current version, the Rift Herald is actually far less cost-effective than the Dragon.

The main reason is that the Abyss Dragon buff in this version is too overpowered.

The Abyss Dragon's buff, although it doesn't have the finishing effect of the Ancient Dragon Soul in later versions.

However, in addition to its own effect, it can double the effect of the dragon buff.

Obtaining two small dragons will provide a boost to combat power comparable to the devastating effect of the Ancient Dragon Soul.

If you obtain three small dragons, the boost to your combat power will even exceed that of killing an ancient dragon soul.

In addition, the current version of the defense towers can be destroyed very quickly.

With the time spent fighting Rift Herald, it's even faster to push towers directly.

EDG naturally had Fiora constantly push the lane and whittle down the tower's health.

Then Mingkai's excavator went and destroyed the Rift Herald.

Although Tristana can already lane, the combination of Kalista and Lulu is simply too strong.

Although EDG's bot lane duo couldn't secure lane priority, they had no problem withstanding the pressure in lane.

When the excavator got the Rift Herald, the top lane turret had already lost nearly half its health to Fiora.

Camille's item build meant she wouldn't pose much of a threat to Fiora.

Galio, who failed to secure the blue buff, was effectively locked in the mid lane by LeBlanc.

He was already under pressure, and going to support the bottom lane meant losing almost three waves of minions. If he lost more minions while roaming, he would really become a super minion.

Having learned from the experience of the previous game, RNG was clearly on guard.

After EDG took down the Rift Herald, they immediately swapped lanes, intending to move their bot lane duo to the top lane for defense.

Camille is going to be imprisoned under the tower anyway, so going to the bot lane to be imprisoned is the same.

However, EDG was also decisive. Although Zhou Hanyang did not know that RNG would switch lanes, he did not intend to hesitate.

They immediately had Mingkai release the Rift Herald, and the two of them pushed the lane and destroyed it.

They directly destroyed Camille's top lane first turret.

Zhou Hanyang wanted to forcibly demolish the tower in order to seize the economy from the first tower.

In the current version, the first tower kill grants an extra 300 gold. Since the Rift Herald has already been taken, it's natural to want to secure that extra 300 gold.

Faced with RNG's lane swap, EDG did not choose to swap lanes.

Instead, they forced Fiora and Rek'Sai to defend the top lane, while Kalista chipped away at the health of RNG's bottom lane turret.

Anyway, Fiora will be split pushing in the bot lane later, and the bot lane turret will be destroyed sooner or later.

Switching lanes at this point makes it easy for Tristana to steal the top lane turret's health.

If it's just about stealing health, that's fine. But if something unexpected happens and the cannon manages to withdraw the money, that's a real problem.

"Li Ruichan, once you push the lane, head towards the top lane. Kill them whenever they push the tower." Mingkai tagged RNG's bot lane duo.

The little cannon hadn't even finished a single piece of equipment, so its combat power was pitifully weak compared to the mid-to-high-level big bosses.

“OK!” Scout immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhou Hanyang's outstanding performance in two consecutive games, coupled with his unconventional LeBlanc vs. Galio strategy, has essentially earned Scout's approval.

In esports, being bad is the original sin; skill speaks for itself.

Seeing EDG's resolute stance, RNG knew they had no chance to push the top lane turret.

If we force a push, we will inevitably be killed just like in the last game.

After sending the minion wave out, RNG, who had just switched lanes, switched lanes again.

The Tristana and Janna returned to the bottom lane, while Camille went to the top lane.

"Tianye, you two bot lane duo, go to mid lane!" Zhou Hanyang said at this moment.

"Go to the mid lane?" Upon hearing this, Meiko's forehead was full of question marks.

What are the duo doing going to the mid lane at this time?

The same applies to Scout.

No, man!

They're coming to the middle, so where am I supposed to go?

"Let LeBlanc go to the bottom lane. Push the lane if she can, farm the jungle if she can, just make sure her own development doesn't fall behind," Zhou Hanyang said thoughtfully.

“If your bot lane duo goes to mid lane, RNG has to switch with them. If they don’t, their mid lane turret will be lost.”

We need to separate Camille and Galio so I have room to push down the top tier 2 turret, then Baron Nashor will spawn, and I can then split push bot lane!

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's words, the three members of EDG fell silent.

The bottom lane duo's positioning in the middle is the basic logic of later competition operations.

However, at this stage, very few teams operate in this way.

The main problem is that the mid lane is too short, making it difficult for AD carries to gain the upper hand; they can only farm gold together.

Basically, everyone needs to focus on the AD carry, pushing towers on the sidelines to gain gold.

The reason why this absurd operational logic came about was because RNG played it this way from the beginning.

RNG needs to push towers by swapping lanes to help Uzi gain an economic advantage earlier.

Other weaker teams can only follow the game understanding of the stronger teams, and naturally they all end up like that.

Even after EDG lost their two Korean carries, they had no choice but to follow RNG's distorted understanding of the game version.

RNG's understanding of this version is flawed; trying to learn from them will definitely not make you a match for them.

Only WE is completely different, with its own unique understanding of the version.

Therefore, in the original historical trajectory, EDG lost to RNG, while RNG lost to WE!

"Move, move, move! If we lose, I'll take the blame!" Zhou Hanyang urged them immediately when he saw that they were not moving.

There was no time at that moment to impart my understanding of the game to them.

“Listen to him!” Mingkai urged as well.

Meiko glanced at Scout, and seeing that Scout didn't speak, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

EDG immediately swapped their mid and bot lanes.

When Xiaohu saw the bot lane duo appear in the mid lane, his cerebellum seemed to shrink for a moment.

What does EDG mean by this?

Why would the duo come to the mid lane?

A series of question marks immediately appeared on the skateboard shoes.

"LeBlanc is in the bot lane?" Uzi also saw LeBlanc in the bot lane at the same time, and was slightly taken aback, but then his expression was overjoyed: "Push the lane, push the lane, Shi Senming push the lane and push the tower."

As long as you can push down towers, you can gain an economic advantage, and then start making various withdrawals to snowball that economic advantage.

As Tristana began to push down the bottom lane turret's health, Lulu and Kalista pushed the mid lane minion wave, pinning Galio under the turret, preparing to whittle down the mid turret's health.

At this moment, Zhou Hanyang pinged RNG's blue buff area: "Tianye, you and Mingkai set up vision in the top half of the map, and then go and whittle down the health of the mid tower!"

Oh, and remember to place a ward in F6 as well; Mala Xiangguo (a type of spicy stir-fry) often uses this ward from within F6.

Meiko was slightly taken aback.

"Tianye, come with me." Before Meiko could speak, Mingkai walked towards RNG's upper jungle and began setting up vision in the jungle.

Meiko had no choice but to keep up!

While the jungler and support were setting up vision, Zhou Hanyang's Fiora, after completing Ravenous Hydra, also began aggressively pushing the top lane minion wave.

Why did LPL teams always lose to LCK teams in World Championships before S8?

The main reason is that LPL teams don't understand how to play the 4-1 split push strategy.

A key reason why players often struggle with split pushing (4-1 split push) and can't win 1v1 battles in the top lane is indeed their inability to execute it.

But if a top laner can't win a 1v1, does that mean they can't split push?

The mid laner can also split push. Many times when SKT's top laner can't beat the opponent, it's Faker who split pushes 1v1 against the opponent.

In addition, the jungler and support showed absolutely no awareness of protecting the split-pushing spot.

As long as the mid lane has lane priority, once the mid lane is pushed, the jungler and support should go and contest vision in half of the map.

Even if the top laner can't win a 1v1 due to split pushing, the jungler and support will occasionally disappear in the mid lane, and the enemy top laner won't dare to push the lane across the river.

Anyone who dares to cross the river will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated by the jungler and support.

The 41-point split push strategy is incomprehensible. It's not just that they can't beat the 1-man team, but that their overall strength is inferior to that of the LCK!
