Vol.17 Ch.32: The Art of Counter-Jungling

  "Nia, focus on ter-jungling for a while," Yuel said. "Their Jungler was in Top earlier, so some of the camps in Bot must’ve respawned by now."

  "I'll check." Nia went along with the phough it felt like bullying. She had just killed Winner, and now she was going to steal his lunch mooo. She was ohless gal. Scary.

  I guess I just check them in order? Nia went through the jungle camps in the same order she would’ve farmed them if they were on her side.

  The jungle routes she normally used were endorsed by both Tipmancer and the alien robot, so there was a good ce Winner used simir routes. If so, his camps should respawn in a predictable order.

  Admittedly, Nia didn't have much experieh ter-jungling. She usually preferred to y low on her side of the jungle and wait fanking opportuhat was chill life.

  But of course, Yuel called her out on this. That bully could op himself from exposing everybody's weaknesses, it was as necessary as breathing for that alien robot.

  In fact, maybe people's weaknesses were like oxygen for this alien robot? Hmm. Some food for thought.

  Anyway, as expected, Mr. Preacher lectured Nia oopic of ter-jungling. He cimed that ter-jungling was an "art" in its ht, ohat every high-level Jungler had to be familiar with.

  In fact, some pro pyers out there even made a name for themselves thanks to their strong ter-jungling. These monsters could sweep through the entire enemy juhin seds when given the opportunity. Scary.

  To drive the point home, Yuel showed Nia such examples from pro matches. It retty iing.

  It’s o be able to do that. Nia thought as she watched the pys. They probably get tons of extra farm from this.

  Indeed, such swift ter-jungling sometimes allowed the Juo get ahead of the rest in terms of farm. As a result, they gained earlier access to important items from their builds, enabling them to gank and ter-jungle more effitly.

  All these examples vinia that ter-jungling was indeed an important skill to pick up. So yes, the alien robot preacher achieved his goal of verting Nia into the ter Jungling Cult.

  "Unfortunately, this is a big, plicated topic," Yuel expined. "Since we don't have much time to prepare for the scrim, I'll give you the general poio help you get started."

  The first thing Yuel taught her was very simple but very effective: "Start by imagining yourself in the shoes of the enemy Jungler". That's all. It sounded super simple, almost trivial. heless, Nia soon realized how effective that mi was.

  In any game, both Junglers were ied in minmaxing the farm on their side. Therefore, by pretending that the enemy jungle was actually Nia’s, she was bound to farm it effitly.

  What’s more, it was often the case that enemy camps respawned in familiar intervals that matched Nia’s jungling rotations. That’s because the enemy Jungler used these very same rotations to clear these camps in the past.

  "This isn’t going to be the optimal method for every situation," Yuel warned. "But, it should work well in sarios where the enemy Jungler is dead.”

  Thanks to this one simple triia was able to bze through Winner’s camps in a familiar order. It was almost as if Winner prepared his camps specifically for Nia, what a nice guy.

  First, the Hyena Camp near Mid. Then the Ogre Camp, which was fortunately present. It was always a questionable camp to ter-jungle due to its long respawn times, but Nia struck gold this time.

  Mine! Nia snatched the red buff for herself, as there was no nearby ally to give it to. This was a big deal. The power buff will let her clear camps even faster for a while, which will put her even farther ahead of Wihis was the true power of ter-jungling!

  Could it be I'm pro level already!? Scary. Nia's amazing performance amazed even her. She couldn't believe she was stealing su advantage here with her own hands, and against the Leopards no less!

  , she rotated to the Wolf Camp near Bot. She made quick work of the entire camp, the back toward Mid. There, she wiped out the Griffin Camp.

  Just like that, Nia swept through the enemy Bot Jungle and even took the griffins without any petition. It was a bold py that would’ve been unthinkable for her about a month ago. But, now? She was like an expert at this stuff!

  My learning speed is scary. She gave herself a pat on the shoulder as she returo her usual farming routine.

  Sinia had already taken out the griffins, she went straight to the bottom of the jungle and cleared the wolves. Then, she started rotating upwards while taking out every camp along the way.

  The Ogre Camp on her side respawned as well, so Nia bzed right through it. However, this time, she left the power buff to Kai, who was currently on her way to the ne.

  , Nia tinued onward to the Hyena Camp otom side of Mid. After that, she crossed the ne aered Top Jungle, where she cleared yet another Hyena Camp.

  This speed is scary. Nia thought. I'm bsting through all these camps way faster than usual. At this rate, I might even have time to ter-juop! Or, not.

  Based on the respawn tdowns, Winner had already respawned. So, it was dangerous to ter-jungle any further for now.

  Oh well. Nia shrugged. I’ve got lots of goodies, so I'm satisfied.

  That double kill in Mid led to so many bes. Not only did Stratus destroy the Mid Turret, but Nia also got herself a bunch of extra farm from ter-jungling. In addition, she snatched herself a power buff, which allowed her to finish clearing Top Jungle way ahead of schedule. This gave her time to recall to base in order to gear up.

  And, while she was getting all these bes, what did Winner gain? A whole lot of nothing. The puy spent most of this time as a ghost.

  When also fact in the faia scored two kills while Winner had was clear she was far ahead of her oppo. Yes, she had a tremendous advantage against the one who ossibly the Leopards’ stro pyer.

  Am I really that good!? I scare myself sometimes. Nia felt a smirk f on her face. But, anybody would smile in a situation like this, right? She was currently at the very top of the regional petitive level!

  If she tinues pying like this, then maybe she’ll eveablish herself as one of the stro pyers iire region!? Scary.
