How to play it

✓ DO

Dodge his E stun

Everything rides on his E — dodge the Counter Strike stun and the 1v1 is yours; eat it and you lose the fight.

All in when Q is down

Poke once or twice with Q, then all in with R when his Q is down — after one item you win the 1v1 if you dodge his E.

Start E level 1

If he's open, start E at level 1 and E out of his E to make him push the wave to you.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never all-in while his E (Counter Strike) is up — the stun flips the fight, so bait it out first.
