Feint to the East, Liberating the Top Lane

"How did Nautilus get solo-killed by Camille this time?"

"The director's camera was focused on the prince farming jungle camps, so we didn't see much of it."

When the two commentators expressed their confusion, the director switched to a replay at the opportune moment.

The Titan and Camille were seen engaging in a fierce exchange of blows online.

Both sides' health was reduced to below 1/3.

However, since Titan's E is an area-of-effect (AOE) damage skill...

The minion wave continued to push towards Camille's side.

Titan was eager to push the lane and recall to the tower, so he used his E skill to clear the wave.

Camille immediately used her E skill to jump onto the wall and kick towards Nautilus.

The kick missed.

Titan activates W and engages in auto-attacks with Camille.

With the added damage from minions, Camille was left with only a sliver of health and had no choice but to Flash back to her tower.

Titan flashed and used his hook, but ended up hooking the turret instead.

Camille secured the kill with a W followed by a basic attack.

"Uh, this..."

Even Guan Zeyuan was at a loss for words at this moment.

"It was a clash of noobs, but the result was that Letme solo-killed Mouse, turned the tide of the top lane, and even gained a slight advantage."

Remember to pick up on the conversation promptly.

[LPL's biggest weakness! Top lane!]

Are these the top laners from our two strongest LPL teams?

[Even in the Silver rank, there's more strategic maneuvering involved, right?]

Despite the complaints, RNG fans took over the live chat again, and the tone of the comments shifted dramatically.

What's the point of changing players? EDG can't beat RNG in either the top or bottom lane; the gap is too big.

[You think you can win just because I made you happy for three minutes?]

[Dare to fight back? Kill him on sight!]

"Regardless of the process, Zeyuan, it seems that RNG is still the team with extremely strong resilience."

Remember to provide an objective evaluation.

"EDG's newly acquired advantage was wiped out before they could even savor it."

Inside the lounge, Abu's previously relaxed brows furrowed again.

He looked at the big screen, where the economic gap had been closed in just two minutes.

"Lin Xiu, Xiang He,"

Abu gripped the notebook tightly.

"Hold on, don't let this good situation be ruined by this wave."

"Oh, it's my problem, I was too hasty."

Mouse was very frustrated.

"It's alright, stay calm, it's a minor issue."

Lin Xiu said something in a low voice message.

His original plan was that through a series of aggressive ganks after level three, even if he couldn't completely crush RNG, he could still create a snowballing start for EDG.

However, he underestimated RNG's resilience and overestimated EDG's top and bottom lanes at this time.

"Lin, don't rush." ​​Faker's calm voice sounded in the earpiece.

"Titan gave away a kill, but he also traded Camille's Flash. Now the enemy wants to speed up, but we can't engage. We'll wait until I reach level six."

"Understood, Brother Li."

Lin Xiu took a deep breath. He knew that he couldn't focus solely on ganking anymore.

He must use these few minutes to catch up on the levels he has fallen behind in.

For the next five minutes, the match fell into a calm yet suffocating contest.

This calm is torture for EDG fans.

Because on the big screen, the CS difference between the top laner and the AD carry is gradually widening.

Uzi's Caitlyn in the bot lane displayed incredibly strong laning fundamentals, trading blows and last-hitting minions flawlessly.

Although Zet played very carefully, Caitlyn's long-range advantage, combined with Lulu's shield, made it difficult for her to escape.

Varus was still pressured by twelve slashes in less than ten minutes, and his health was also at a disadvantage.

On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan began his forte: situation analysis.

"We see that after several high-intensity ganks, Lin Xiu finally chose to return to the jungle."

"But because EDG is playing defensively in all three lanes, RNG has gained a nearly 1,000 gold lead by pushing the lanes."

"This situation is very dangerous for EDG because if Galio can't make a difference in the mid-game, he'll be a sitting duck in the late game."

I remember nodding in agreement:

"That's right, Xiangguo has created two or three opportunities in the last few minutes, although EDG's experienced ward placement has neutralized them all."

"But this invisible pressure makes EDG's players afraid to cross the river. Uzi in the bottom lane has already started attacking the tower. Once a tower falls, the mid-game rhythm of EDG's team fight lineup will be completely disrupted."

[Haha, just a three-minute fad.]

[Lin Gou is farming? What's the use of farming? His teammates are getting ganked to death.]

[I've seen this kind of game a hundred times. EDG makes a little noise at the start, then gets completely outmaneuvered by RNG, and finally gets wiped out in a Baron fight.]

I haven't seen any unrestrained comments in the live chat for five minutes.

The taunts in the comments section almost overflowed the screen.

However, in EDG's voice chat, Lin Xiu kept reporting information.

"Gragas is stealing my wolves, let him steal them. Mouse, the minion wave is pushing into the tower, you hold off the pressure."

"Brother Li, push the line in, we're going to make arrests."

"Okay," Lee Sang-hyeok said softly over the voice chat.

Xiaohu originally intended to place the line in the river to recall to town.

Galio, contrary to his usual behavior, immediately activated his E skill, Righteous Punch, and used his Q skill to forcefully push the minion wave into RNG's tower before disappearing under the tower.

Xiao Hu immediately sensed something was wrong and reminded him via voice message.

"Gallio is probably out there trying to catch him; the Prince can't be seen right now."

"They're coming, watch out!"

Ming frantically marked things on the map.

RNG's bot lane duo reacted extremely quickly; Uzi's Caitlyn retreated almost the instant she saw Galio disappear in the mid lane.

Ignoring the jungle monsters he hadn't finished clearing, Gragas went to the lower jungle to prepare for a counter-gank.

"Huh? The prince and Galio are gone! RNG is being very cautious; their bot lane has retreated."

Guan Zeyuan shouted.

However, the next second, the director abruptly switched the camera to the top lane.

Titan initiated with his hook, which missed, but forced Camille to use her E skill.

Just as Letme was about to escape by climbing the wall, a blue military flag fell from the sky and landed right where Camille had landed!

The prince emerged from the shadows, unleashing a lightning-fast EQ combo.

Letme, having previously secured a solo kill and believing that EDG's mid and jungle had vanished together, couldn't possibly be there to gank him, the top laner, was momentarily at a loss.

Even more terrifying, the moment the prince landed, a massive golden justice array had already unfolded beneath Qinggangying's feet!

The hero has arrived!

"Oh no! Junze, run!"

Xiaohu's Taliyah hurriedly activated her ultimate ability, Wall of Shadows, to rush to the rescue, but it was too late.

Camille's fragile body was instantly vaporized by the combined attack of Galio and Jarvan IV.

Rock Sparrow had no choice but to get off halfway and return to the middle lane to finish the job.

Faker glanced at the top lane turret and decisively shouted in the voice chat:

"Push the tower directly!"

With their combined efforts, RNG's top lane tower fell.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"Is this a variation on EDG's strategy?"

I remember being dumbfounded.

"Taking advantage of RNG's extreme protectiveness towards their bot lane, they executed a perfect feint! You defend the bot lane, I directly took your top lane tower and secured the kill! This wave evened the gold again, and the Titan was freed up!"
