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

"The pressure in the mid lane might be a bit high!" Kkoma patted Faker on the shoulder when he saw EDG's lineup.

He then leaned close to Huni's ear and said, "Be careful on the road."

"It's alright! I'll beat him to a pulp." Huni smiled dismissively.

Ryze vs. Kennen?

AD Kennen isn't afraid of Ryze.

"OK, OK! Keep it up!" Kkoma patted Huni's shoulder hard with his right hand.

Huni flashed a confident smile.

Kkoma and Nofe came to the center of the stage. They were old friends and shook hands in a friendly manner.

"You still love to come up with unconventional methods," Kkoma said with a touch of wistfulness.

"The player insisted on picking it, there was nothing I could do." Nofe shrugged, feigning innocence. "You should have heard of the LPL."

“Hahaha…” Kkoma gave me a knowing smile.

Amidst their laughter and conversation, both sides finalized their lineups and entered Summoner's Rift.

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

Top Lane: [Rune Mage] vs [Heart of the Tempest]

Jungle: [Void Burrower] vs [Ivern]

Mid Lane: [Lucian] vs [Orianna]

ADC: War Goddess vs. Plague Rat

Support: Fairy Witch vs. Apocalypse

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

"You really don't need me to watch the top lane this game?" Mingkai asked again, "You haven't even tried this in scrims."

"How many times have you asked me that? As long as you take good care of Lee Sang-hyeok, the enemy top laner will naturally explode." Zhou Hanyang gave Ming Kai an annoyed look.

“Okay!” Mingkai nodded seriously.

Zhou Hanyang secretly pursed his lips.

Leaving aside the ancient S3 era, SKT's three most recent top laners have been progressively worse than the last.

The clues can be seen from the rhymes SKT fans use.

Ma Bu Tuan! Du Bu Chuan! Hu Bu Rou!

These are actually derogatory nicknames for SKT's top laner.

In this group of horses, besides the fact that Ma Datou plays a significant role in leading the line, the rest of the group is not very important.

Another very important point is SKT in S5.

在双方上单都不来的情况下，打4V4或者3V3甚至是2V2的局部团战，是一定会赢团的。

On the contrary, if Ma Datou comes, the team might even lose.

As for Du Buchuan, that's even simpler.

If Duke is allowed to play top lane alone, he will have the advantage most of the time.

However, once Duke teleports to the front to help his teammates and then returns to the top lane, he not only loses all his advantage, but may even cause the lane to collapse.

The reason for this situation is that Duke himself doesn't have a significant advantage in the top lane.

Duke's lack of understanding of lane dynamics and unclear assessment of the overall situation also play a significant role.

Whether SKT's top laner needs to teleport or not often depends on the mid laner's instructions.

This also shows that Faker's dominance in the mid lane has declined.

A decline in control leads to a decline in judgment.

Duke couldn't be teleported down to engage in team fights at the optimal time.

If there's anything to say about the previous two...

The last one is absolutely outrageous.

The name "Hu Bu Rou" seems to suggest that Huni is aggressive.

But what it actually means is that Huni spent most of his time being brutally beaten.

Even if you play Jayce in the top lane and 'wear' the Warden's Armor, you won't get completely destroyed.

Moreover, many heroes are naturally suited to building tank items.

This is the origin of Hu Bu Rou (胡不肉).

There are too many scenes of him being beaten to a pulp, which is why he has this derogatory nickname.

Huni?

whispering sound!

Abusing Zz1tai has caused a huge uproar!

Today I'll show you the price of not eating meat!

Both sides started with a long, single-file formation, defending their respective jungle areas.

EDG's mid and jungle players placed a trinket ward at SKT's F6 camp at the start of the game.

Ivern, as a jungler, has the ability to steal jungle camps at the start of the game.

If a buff is stolen without your knowledge, it can easily disrupt the jungler's farming rhythm.

In this game, Mingkai did not choose to invade, but instead started his jungle camps at his own F6 camp.

Scout in the mid lane started pulling the minion wave as soon as he came up.

Similar to how LeBlanc plays against Galio, this completely widens the minion waves for both sides.

This prevents Orianna's AOE skill from consuming multiple minions at once, thus balancing the minion wave situation.

Although this would prevent Lucian from using his Q to kill three minions, Lucian has a huge advantage against Orianna in the early game.

The lane control is entirely in Lucian's hands.

Only when the minion wave is pushed slower, and Orianna needs to attack minions more often, will Lucian have more opportunities to use his Q to poke Orianna through minions.

After Scout's Lucian dispersed the minion wave, he immediately used a Q that pierced through the minions to harass Faker's Orianna.

at the same time!

The minions on the top lane have to travel a longer distance before they come into contact.

At the moment of contact, Zhou Hanyang Ryze pressed forward.

Kennen immediately began to retreat, trying to pull Ryze into his own minions.

Seeing that Kennen had retreated, Zhou Hanyang stopped chasing and instead began to slowly whittle down the minions' health with basic attacks.

Huni was slightly taken aback, not expecting Zhou Hanyang to let it go like this.

He thought Zhou Hanyang would exploit the enemy's attack intervals again to wear him down.

He had specifically studied this tactic and even prepared countermeasures.

Kennen can draw the aggro of the blue team's melee minions by using his E skill to poke Ryze at close range and auto-attack him.

This completely messes up the aggro on both sides' minion waves!

He'll be attacked by 3 minions, and Ryze will be attacked by 6 minions!

If Ryze dares to auto-attack me like that, I'll make sure he regrets it!

But to their surprise, the plan fell through!

Zhou Hanyang certainly wouldn't be that stupid.

Kennen's Q skill has a range of 950 units, and his W skill has a range of 900 units!

Ryze's Q skill, however, has a range of 1000 yards.

For bronze-level players, this distance makes no difference.

But in top-level matches, those 50 yards can make all the difference.

He doesn't need to use any fancy tricks; he just needs to control the distance between them and his skills to defeat Kennen.

When Huni saw Ryze start farming minions, he immediately prepared to join in as well, even if he couldn't reach level 2 first, he had to maintain the minion wave position.

Otherwise, if Ryze farms a huge wave of minions and calls for the excavator to come up, he won't be able to play.

With Ryze's ultimate and Q combo, plus Rek'Sai's burst damage, he has a real chance to kill him.

But as soon as Kennen went up, Ryze used his E skill to apply his passive to the red team's minions.

Then Ryze stood next to his own blue minion.

Ryze's level 1 E skill has a 3-second cooldown!

The casting range is 400, but the spread range is 600!

Kennen attacked a minion, clearly realizing this and wanting to retreat.

However, at the very limit of range, Ryze applied the passive effect of his E skill.

Furthermore, Kennen was even caught out by Ryze's stealth attack!

Both sides have an attack range of 550!

As long as Ryze and the minions stand together, Kennen can attack the minions, and Ryze can attack Kennen!

Kennen had no choice but to retreat at this point, otherwise if Ryze attacked him again, he would unleash Thunderlord's Decree!

At that time, the lightning strikes were far more damaging than the electric shocks of later generations.

"Damn it!" Huni couldn't help but curse.

He was only hit once, so why does it feel like he can't play top lane anymore?

Fuck you!!!

However, just as Xiba was cursing softly, he seemed to hear an accent.

what's the situation?

Huni was slightly taken aback.

Then it dawned on me that Faker had also cursed.

He suddenly opened the screen and discovered that Orianna in the mid lane had already been level 2 ahead of Lucian.

Then they directly applied a full set of EAAQAA to my face!

My health is down to less than a third!

[Some of you guys, stop criticizing. Lucian crushed Orianna in the early game, killing her multiple times and also outfarming her in CS. This actually happened during the S7 World Championship!]

Of course, it's still the same.

Faker was at a disadvantage, and he gave his victory speech!
