LS | FLY vs EG Analysis | Every Mistake Top Laners Make In Competitive

[@versutus2699]

To give another example of what LS means by pressure, my favorite example is watching mang0 and lucky in SSBM. They exert pressure on somebody's shield by not attacking and just moving around and making the opponent panic in anticipation of a move rather than the move itself. This is also very common when a samus has a fully charged charged shot or even in chess where the anticipation of the threat is greater than the threat itself (so in league freezing the lane in order to either force the opponent into a lose lose scenario is pressure even though damage isn't being applied immediately)

[@Fish21]

perfect example

[@blizzen]

The shield pressure example in melee is extremely relevant, because by not physically using attacks on the shield you are also protecting yourself from overextending/getting caught in a disadvantage state. Very similar to wave control in league of legends.

7:08 that gank timing though! Love how viego comes to prove his point!

What a crossover

I new how to control my lane but I just suffer from bronze syndrome time to time so I forget to freeze or slow push when when the enemy is trying to back but I have to say wave management is op because when I do manage my wave by building it up and forcing the enemy player to back and crash 2 stacked wave in to there tower I end up 2 to 3 lvl ahead of the enemy toplaner for the rest of the game so yes wave management is very important. I would say learn wave management first instead of macro plays involving rotation because if you know how to manage wave it's easier to do macro plays and micro .

[@Chiki_]

Yes, also keep in mind that these concepts carry over to the rest of the game and can create massive advantages even later on. For example imagine drake is spawning in 2 minutes, you can set up a slow push that crashes into enemy turret and effectively create a lose lose situation for the enemy where they have to lose many waves if they want to contest the objective.

You new?

What's the background song playing during draft ?

[@flosdum]

hmm... I see, that's why lemon spams kayle in solo q, hes just putting pressure on the enemy team.

[@andresouza5659]

can anyone explain what he meant by that explanation about the tp @ about 4:40 ?

[@ralfmaca5930]

Basically, walk up to lane at the cost of 4 to 5 minions as it slow pushes towards you. Play around wave 8 9 and 10 and look for a back timing and tp into lane with an item advantage as those 3 maybe 4 waves should get licorice up to 1.2k~ish by the time he backs and tp back into lane. How to play til the 10th wave i have no clue. He didn't explain it, I hope this os clear enough.

[@terryguo7132]

The wave is already being pushed back by Sett but it is at Sett’s tower, meaning that Gwen doesn’t need to TP. She will lose some xp from minions dying but it doesn’t mean much. She can keep playing the lane and then keep TP to be used somewhere else. Basically she keeps the TP advantage and can use it as a get out of jail free card that she doesn’t have anymore.

[@eidel3197]

Prepare for a wall of text You need to go back to 4:10, at this stage it's the canon wave (wave 6), Sett already TP-ed, there's 1 melee and 2 casters, 1 of which is almost already dead, from the previous wave (wave 5), which is not enough for Sett to retain a freeze (generally for side lane tier 1 turret freezing, you need at the bare minimum 4 healthy minions). This means if Gwen runs back to lane and only tries to absorbs the exp without touching the wave, she will lose around 2-4 minions worth of exp and gold, BUT it will be pushed back to Gwen's side of the lane in wave 7, allowing her a chance to retain a freeze in front of her turret. Sett will then be forced to play near Gwen's turret, losing minions' gold, vulnerable to ganks and pressured to crash the wave to be able to reset. The problem for Sett is, with Gwen's sustainability, D-blade, and 2 refillable potions, she can sustain off the minions and hold the freeze until wave 10, at which point she can recall, buy extra items and TP back to continue retain the freeze with a slight exp disadvantage, but with more potions, higher HP bar, better items and a better lane state. The outcome would be Sett either stays in lane, losing even more minions' gold and now even exp if the Gwen player knows how to play League and chases Sett off of exp absorption range, or Sett is forced to recall, losing out 1-2 waves worth of exp and gold, and return to lane with a bad lane state, still vulnerable to ganks.

[@sergeistalin7916]

The blue side minions are closer to enemy turret, that means that the red side minions are going to arrive sooner and eventually are going to slowpush towards the blue turret, since its impossible for Sett to freeze the wave, Gwen can just walk to lane even if that makes her lose 4 or 5 minions since Sett is behind already. Then the Gwen can just play around the next 3 waves(8,9 and maybe 10) keeping them close to her own turret and then push, spend even more gold and TP back while Sett cant back at all and is forced to stay in lane against a stronger Gwen or sacrifice even more minions and plates to base and buy without having TP. Summary: The Sett cant stop Gwen from buying and then go back to lane with TP, he is forced to stay in lane no matter what she does. Imagine that Gwen stayed for 3 more waves and then goes back to lane with Bramble Vest + Amplifying Tome. Thats worse for Sett than a Gwen with just Bramble.

[@jickhertz4124]

People are writing theses. Simply, there's no point tp'ing when the wave is pushing to you, if they can't freeze or crash in time.

EG draft thing is "Hot Guys"

[@brainsea4211]

4 videos in the span of 2 hours o_O

[@nathanaelsallhageriksson1719]

This is why NA is the biggest ego booster ever, to any soloq player in the world.

[@Pashachessgm]

Why is Lec not on stage???

[@gabrielehu3157]

germany rules probably, i heard that some of them will be back in studio next week

[@andersonsmith8625]

The studio is too small to have every team adequately spaced. Now games 1,3,5 are on stage as they can clear and sanitise the rooms before the next teams get there

[@obitoslight8013]

Stay sane LS^^

[@allanrasul5149]

why does this guy think he is an authority on top lane, isnt he some diamond hardstuck jng?

[@EpicVideoMaster11]

love it
