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

"EDG!!! Go EDG!!!"

"EDG!!! Go EDG..."

"EDG!!! Add..."

"SSG!!! Go for it!!!"

"SSG!!! Go for it..."

"SSG!!! Add..."

Amid cheers from both sides' fans, the image of the canyon appeared on the big screen.

"Alright, finally we've entered the third game of our final Bo5 elimination match!" Wang Duoduo shouted. "Will SSG pull one back and continue the series, or will EDG extend their undefeated streak and end the elimination rounds once and for all!"

"SSG chose to rely on the top lane as their breakthrough point in the first two games, but Attack showed us with his outstanding individual skill that when playing against EDG, it's already quite good if you can hold your ground in the top lane; it's too difficult to break through or gain an advantage there," Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.

"SSG only managed to qualify for Worlds thanks to Cuvee's performance, as they fought their way through the gauntlet. However, once they got to Worlds, their top lane struggled to break through, and SSG seemed lost. I wonder if adjusting their tactics and focusing on the bottom lane in this game can turn things around!"

"Both sides have settled into their respective roles, and neither side seems inclined to engage in a level 1 team fight," Rita exclaimed. "Both sides started in the top half of the map and farmed towards the bottom half, so it's clear that the bottom half of the map will be quite exciting."

"Let's cheer for both teams!" Wang Duoduo interacted with the audience again.

"Aa ...

The audience immediately erupted in unparalleled cheers.

The official livestream channel has also started to create some fun.

"Let's go, let's go, what's so interesting about this? It's definitely going to be 3-0!"

"777777777777777!"

"A's actions were way too heavy-handed."

"Cuvee, the biggest victim of the ELO mechanism!"

"What ELO? SSG is just a bunch of noobs. Even their carry player, Kuwei, was beaten like this by Attack in the playoffs. Ruler in the bot lane was completely outclassed by Uzi. How can they win? This team's ceiling is just this!"

"66666666666666666!"

"SSG is the third seed for a reason; their strength is simply not on par with other teams."

"It really doesn't make sense that a jungler like Master An still has a job."

"If you don't know how to play with crocodiles and spiders, don't bother. You'll just embarrass yourself!"

"?????????????"

"SSG's coach has something to say. What's their top laner? What's our top laner?"

"Since we're going to lose anyway, how about I give you 50 Vs, and SSG lets us go up and get stomped by EDG?"

"Yes, it's 3-0 anyway, even if you send in five more commenters, it'll be the same result."

……

Amidst the discussions among viewers, the minion wave officially went live.

Zhou Hanyang's Fiora started last-hitting minions after coming to lane, instead of aggressively harassing Shen.

The hero mechanics of both sides dictate that once Shen reaches the late game, he becomes Fiora's toy, so there's no need to give the opponent opportunities in the early game.

After all, if Fiora gets caught out early on and Shen gets a full tank build early, it will be very difficult for Fiora to break through in a solo lane.

Although the prince is unlikely to be looking at the top lane in this game, if there is an opportunity in the top lane, Ambition will definitely not let it pass by.

Zhou Hanyang simply needs to maintain control of the lane and have the right to reach level 2 first, then use his full strength to take down Shen and control the minion wave.

After clearing the blue buff, Master An immediately headed towards the lower half of the map.

On the other hand, Sejuani needs to clear the F6 camp and the red buff before she can go to the bottom lane.

Even though both are cleared from top to bottom, Sejuani can't compete for the bottom river crab because of the different monsters; she has to eat the top river crab before she can go down.

This way, you won't lose jungle monsters and you can also protect the top laner.

But to everyone's surprise, after starting with blue buff and clearing his own red buff, the prince decisively used his EQ combo to go down from the dragon pit into Sejuani's blue buff area.

"Huh? What's the prince going to do? Not take the river crab? He's going to steal Sejuani's blue buff?" Guan Zeyuan's forehead was full of question marks: "The prince isn't Graves, is it really necessary to go and steal the jungle like this?"

"You know what, it seems like Sejuani's blue buff is really going to be stolen. Sejuani just finished taking down the river crab, and there was no indication that the blue buff was taken down at all." Wang Duoduo was quite surprised.

"After the prince stole the blue buff, he reached level 3. Fortunately, Sejuani was already heading to the bottom lane, otherwise the bottom lane would have been overtaken." Rita's voice sounded relieved.

……

Inside LZ's meeting room, BDD exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Master An incredibly audacious this time?"

Cuzz frowned as well and said, "But Prince is useless at counter-jungling, right? Sejuani isn't afraid of being counter-jungled either!"

This version features tanky junglers, so even if you're missing a blue buff, it's not a problem at all. Even if Jarvan IV clears all of Sejuani's jungle, it won't be a problem. After all, if Sejuani is behind in level, she can catch up by clearing two camps of Raptors and Krugs in the late game.

"The Prince has really tied up the mid and bot lanes this time. If Sejuani catches him, he's definitely going to be in trouble." AD player PraY also shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't quite understand Ambition's inexplicable counter-jungling behavior.

"Have you considered that, in Master Ahn's view, this counter-jungling is bound to succeed?" Kim Jung-soo's voice rang out at this moment.

Ok?

Everyone was slightly stunned.

“Normally, Sejuani would rush to level 3 with Red Raptors and Blue Buff, then contest the Rift Scuttler in the bottom river,” Kim Jung-soo explained.

"The prince needs blue buff, red buff, and F6 to reach level 3 quickly, and then contest the river crab. But it's different when this team is EDG..."

Kim Jung-soo paused for a moment before continuing, "Because EDG has won many games this year by relying on the top lane, protecting the top laner has become a subconscious behavior for jungler Mingkai, which is why he would rush to level 6 with the red raptor and river crab before coming to the bottom half of the map!"

Besides wanting to protect Fiora so he could get there immediately if she got caught, he also subconsciously didn't believe his teammates could win a 3v3 or 4v4 in the bottom half of the map, so he would instinctively choose to go for the river crab.

Ambition's reasoning was simple: Sejuani, who could have quickly reached level 4 by completing the bottom half of the map, was now unable to do so. If Sejuani wanted to reach level 4, she would have to enter SSG's jungle, which was exactly what Ambition wanted.

Sejuani won't enter SSG's jungle without a significant advantage, which would disrupt her jungle clearing rhythm. Conversely, Jarvan IV, with more jungle camps, can freely change his jungle route, putting more pressure on EDG's lanes.

[This was said by the coach of BLG's second team himself. Xun was constantly criticized by JS when he played for IG, which subconsciously made him prefer ganking bot lane.]
