Aurret has beeroyed!

  With Lars joining the offense in Mid, the Mid Turret fell apart within moments.

  A, the group set their eyes on the Mid Golem, the Holy Grail. If they demolish the Golem this early, then the game will be as good as theirs.

  “So, may I inquire about our master pn?” Vi asked. “Are we going to push forth all the way to victory? Or, is this merely a diversion that’ll force the eo trate on Mid while we attack other avenues?”

  “I’ve sidered both options depending on how things py out,” Yuel expined. “Even though we ran into a couple of obstacles, things turned out better than I expected overall. So, I believe it’s optimal for us to tinue pushing Mid right now. We surely take down the Golem, at the very least.”

  “In other words, a straightforward assault! I see, I see.” Vi nodded repeatedly. “It appears we’re about to reproduce Taurus’ secret art!”

  “Yes, I got this idea from that scrimmage,” Yuel expined. “It worked out a little too well for them, making me wonder how effit this strategy was in general. It wasn’t easy to researd test it, but I believe I have suffit uanding of wheacti work.”

  It er-risky, hyper-aggressive, and all-in tactic that most people would not even sider seriously. Even Yuel, who favored offense so much, didn’t think of this risky Mid rush as a particurly viable strategy, definitely not for the petitive se.

  However, he ged his mind after he was hit hard by it during the Taurus scrimmage. As a fellow supporter of hyper-aggressive pys, the cept naturally intrigued him.

  On paper, the power level of Turrets was designed for the mid-game, and the power level of Golems was banced around the te-game. As such, the two structures were “overpowered” during the early parts of the game and it was o impossible to take them down.

  heless, pyers had the option to overwhelm these powerful structures via sheer numbers. When 3 or more pyers ganged up on a single objective, it was sometimes possible to even out the odds and match the tower’s strength.

  But of course, things were hat simple in Cssmancers. The idea was the execution was difficult.

  It was impossible to simply gather the eeam in one spot on a whim, especially not during the early-game. The meta dictated that everybody should stick to their nes during this part of the game, and straying from the meta was always something that should be doh great care.

  Not to mention, this tactic required far more than just gathering the team together. In fact, that was arguably the easiest part of the operation.

  Even if the whole team came together to push Mid, the push would easily be thwarted by just a handful of enemy defenders. After all, the Turret’s power level was ahead of pyers’ at this stage, so adding just a handful of defenders should suffice for defleg the push.

  The first big prerequisite for this tactic is momentum. Yuel cluded from his research.

  He carefully examined all the circumstahat eaurus to pull off such a risky py. On top of that, he found a handful of examples from the pro se as well and researched those, too.

  Yes, there were, in fact, examples of games like that in the pro se as well. They were far and few between, and practically ent in A-League.

  heless, in C-League, there were a couple of aggressive teams that went for pys like this and succeeded. Oher hand, in B-League, this tactic was attempted a few times but it usually failed.

  Regardless, there was clearly some substao this strategy, seeing as even pros employed it every on a while. As such, Yuel felt obligated to study this line of py ih and learn how to ter it, as well as how to utilize it if the appropriate opportunity ever presents itself.

  And, acc to his research, the current situatiohe ditions for invoking this risky tactic.

  So far, things have been going well. Stratus scored three kills in a row and toppled the Mid Turret very early. These were ving signs that the team was ready to keep pushing through Mid, possibly all the way to victory.

  And, even if this push fails to lead to immediate victory or even somehow fails to destroy the Golem, there wasn’t too much risk in giving it a go anyway. Stratus were so far ahead that they could take such a risk and still e on top even if things don’t go their way.

  In the worst-case sario, we’ll lose some of our momentum and the situation will be equalized. It’ll be unfortunate if that happens, but it won’t put as a disadva the very least.

  After carefully going through all these siderations over and over, Yuel was vio attempt this risky Taurus strategy. After all, if Taurus could pull this off, then there was no reason why Stratus wouldn't be able to as well.

  But of course, it was impossible to pull off such extreme pys out of thin air without any prior practice.

  During the Taurus scrimmage, it was clear that the enemy’s Triangle had robust experieh pulling off extreme pys like that during the early-game. Their impeccable teamwork allowed them to go for a risky py like this and make it work.

  But, did Stratus possess the necessary teamwork and experience for pulling off a success like that? Why yes, they had plenty of it. After all, their shot-caller was her than Yuel, a shot-caller who loved weaving aggressive early-game pns that required very pinpoint cooperation.

  Admittedly, we were a little g in that department during the previous scrimmage.

  Yuel reflected ba how he used to shot-call during the Taurus scrimmage. At the time, he was overly cautious and forced himself to push away the aggressive ideas that so naturally came to him. The scars of losing to Howard were still fresh in his mind back then.

  However, after seeing Taurus’s Triating away with risky pys time and again, it was impossible to not wish to replicate some of these pys. That's what vinced Yuel to return to his roots and embrace his inal favorite type of strategy: overwhelming early-game aggression that dictated the flow of the game.

  And so, ever sihat scrimmage, Yuel had increased the usage of aggressive team ps and tactics during practice. And yes, some of these sessions involved variations of this very strategy, where the team groups up in Mid and tries to push for the win.

  That's why, even though his teammates were taken aback by the boldness for a moment, nobody actually objected to this tactic or voiced . Why? Because they had executed many simir pys over the past few weeks.

  Unlike i scrimmage, today's Stratus had the necessary experience for pulling off aggressive early-game pys. Therefore, even a hyper-risky pn that involved putting all eggs into one basket ar for the course at this point. They had both the necessary experiend skill, so they will make this extreme tactic work, no matter what.

  "Let's do this, yooo!" Lars rallied as the team advanced on the Mid Golem.

  Their steps were fident, with each pyer assuming a near-ideal position without Yuel uttering a single word. They all kly what to d situations like this.

  Despite being the most gung-ho of the gang, Lars stayed at the back of the pack, taking advantage of Elf's sniping abilities. He fully uood the dangers of this hyper-aggressive py and he khat he’ll be targeted first if he ever sets foot on the frontline.

  On the frontline, Luke and Vi led the assault. her of them was built tanky enough to serve as a proper frontliner, but they were both bruisers who could share this burden. On top of that, Yuel followed right behind them, ready to aid with heals and CC at a moment's notice.

  Meanwhile, Kai was in the middle of the pack but a little farther to the outside. This was to ehat the team wasn’t fully packed in one area.

  In fact, everybody maintained a degree of distance from each other. After all, there was nothing more embarrassing than grouping up so fidently only to be shot down by an AoE nuke. So, they kept each other at arm’s length without stig too close to each other.

  With this anized formation, Stratus arrived at the Mid Golem.
