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

After the game started, neither side made any early plans and chose the conventional route to start farming jungle camps.

Sejuani chose to start with the blue buff alone, and then farm to the top lane. This way, if EDG's bot lane plays too aggressively at level 1, Sejuani can take the blue buff and then gank bot lane.

After the top lane minions converged, Zhou Hanyang did not try to contest lane priority at level 1, but instead learned the harpoon skill and stayed in the back to farm minions.

At level 1, the weapon will definitely learn the E skill to push the lane. Once the weapon reaches level 2, it will definitely jump in and combo Rumble.

When the weapon user saw that Rumble had learned the harpoon, he immediately used his E skill to kill melee minions while also damaging the health of the ranged minions in the backline.

Meanwhile, Rambo was constantly using his harpoon to whittle down the weapon's health.

When the second wave of minions arrived, the weapon player was the first to secure a level 2 advantage.

After getting the weapon to level 2 first, he wanted to jump up and unleash a combo on Rambo.

If Jax attacks Rumble, he will definitely attract the aggro of the blue team's minions. Although Jax may not necessarily gain an advantage in trading blows, he will definitely gain an advantage in the minion wave.

Faced with a weapon that jumps in using its Q skill, Zhou Hanyang naturally wouldn't let the weapon trade its health for his own and lane control.

He immediately retreated, waiting for the minions to clash, and only when he was about to die did Rumble advance.

Without hesitation, the weapon used its Q skill to jump up and trade blows with Rumble. At this moment, as the red team's minions died, Rumble also leveled up to level 2.

Zhou Hanyang had been using a harpoon to control his own temperature, and it was currently at a yellow temperature.

Rumble used his Q skill directly on the weapon, roasting it while moving away, kiting the weapon to auto-attacks, avoiding hitting the minion wave with his Q skill, and allowing the blue team's minions to focus fire on the weapon.

Faced with this situation, the only option for the weapon is to activate Counterattack Storm and chase after Rambo.

When the weapon's counter-storm effect stunned him, Rambo actually took a step closer to the weapon.

When the weapon's Counter Strike Storm stuns Rambo, his first reaction is to retreat and create distance, because at this point, the weapon skill has entered a cooldown period.

Rumble, however, moved closer to the weapon, and by the time the weapon's E skill stun ended, the weapon had only just moved out of the range of Rumble's Q skill.

Rambo even retaliated by hurling a high-temperature harpoon at the weapon, then chased after it for two seconds to roast it before turning back.

Khan was instantly drenched in sweat.

Didn't he know that at this point, the weapon couldn't outlast the high-temperature Rambo?

He knew perfectly well what was going on.

Then why did he still go?

Assuming Rumble chases after the enemy weapon to harass them, his Q skill will definitely AoE onto the red side's minion wave.

This gives Rumble a chance to get a slow 2-speed 3-speed advantage, allowing him to push the lane. Jax can then control the minion wave in front of the tower, giving Sejuani a chance to gank Rumble.

If Rumble retreats, Jax can use his E skill to force Rumble away and then whittle down the health of the blue team's minions, pushing the minion wave into the tower at the cannon minion lane.

Rumble is a champion who is difficult to control in lane due to his unique mechanics.

Both of these situations are comfortable with either weapon.

Khan had no idea that Zhou Hanyang had seen through his intentions.

Rumble's upward movement resulted in his weapon's E skill only damaging the blue team's ranged minions, but not the melee minions.

Although the weapon still has the right to upgrade to level 3 first, the problem is that it cannot push the minion wave into Rumble's turret when the third wave of siege minions arrives, leaving the weapon sweating profusely.

EDG's jungler, Jarvan IV, now has an opportunity to gank Jax.

After all, everyone in the world knows that Mingkai is a jungler who especially likes to gank top lane.

With the minion waves arranged like this, regardless of whether the Prince comes or not, Sejuani has no choice but to counter-gank.

LZ won this game by split pushing with the weapon. Getting killed once or twice in the early game disrupted the rhythm, and it took several times more resources to get the weapon back online!

At this point, neither Hammer nor Rumble had any abilities available, and Khan knew that the lane could no longer be pushed forward.

He glanced at Sejuani who was attacking the F6 camp, gritted his teeth, walked towards the river, made a fake move to place a ward, and then used his Q skill to jump to the minion wave and start pushing.

Since things have come to this, he must try his best to accumulate lanes and secure a 3-point advantage!

His move was a clear message to EDG's top laner and jungler: I've already placed a ward in the river, and there's still a large wave of minions in the top lane.

If the prince comes to arrest me, he might be spotted and waste time.

That's not the most important thing.

Once the prince is exposed, if Sejuani comes to counter-gank, it will be a 2v2 situation between the top and jungle. With so many minions, LZ obviously has the advantage.

"Come on, Mingkai, come up here and stand guard!" Zhou Hanyang marked the grass: "The weapon has a trinket ward in this grass, it disappears in 90 seconds, and the trinket ward will disappear just as you spawn."

In this version of Season 7, the trinket's duration is only 90 seconds in the early game, but it can last for 120 seconds in the late game!

"Given the eye so early? It could be a feint!" Zhou Hanyang said after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, then I won’t watch the censorship, I’ll just come over!” Mingkai said immediately.

Since the weapon player would make such a feint, it means that Sejuani didn't start in the top half of the map and definitely wasn't watching the river crab at that moment. Otherwise, if Sejuani were active in the river, the weapon player wouldn't have made this feint.

In professional competitions, a single action can often reveal a great deal of information.

After clearing the F6 and Red Buff, the prince headed straight for the Blue Buff in the upper half of the map.

After the prince cleared the blue buff, the top laner's weapon was about to reach level 3.

"Stand outside the grass!" Zhou Hanyang pinged the signal.

Judging from the weapon's movement, even if the weapon had been given a ward, it would only be at the edge of the bushes. As long as the prince didn't enter the bushes, it wouldn't be exposed.

Before the weapon was upgraded to level 3, Zhou Hanyang remained within the range of the weapon's Q skill.

However, the moment the weapon was upgraded to level 3, it did not jump up to exchange blows.

At this point, if you have a weapon skill advantage, you'll definitely gain an advantage if you jump in and trade blows.

"Grab him! He didn't do anything wrong!" Zhou Hanyang shouted immediately.

If the weapon has vision of the river, or if Sejuani is counter-ganking nearby, the weapon will definitely jump in to trade blows.

Since the weapon didn't jump up, the weapon has no vision to determine if the river is safe, and Sejuani isn't protecting herself, so she needs to save her Q skill to survive.
