"This jungle invasion is too beautiful!" Mille was ecstatic when he saw the corpse of the Wine Barrel in the jungle. "YM's jungler is really daring!"
"Two blinks into the Dragon Pit, just in time to block the Dragon Ball's blind spot. Cuzz didn't expect Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong to fight like this!"
Cuzz held his forehead and stopped looking at his screen.
The familiar plot was crumbling again.
He had blinked, used a red buff, and even gave away a health point. Without a doubt, Princes would be able to ride on his head later.
"Quickly come over and eat the blue buff. I have the right to the bottom lane, I can protect you."
After all, if the opponent's support had not arrived in advance, his little jungler would not have died.
Cuzz took a deep breath. The System's salary would only start increasing after 2 minutes. At that point in time, he could not even afford to buy a True Eye.
He had no other choice but to carry the big Wine Barrel and head toward the blue buff camp.
He still had Retribution in his hand. Princes was still in the top half of the map, it was not bad for him to be able to defend the blue buff …
Lin Yan pushed the mid lane without restraint. In this game, the jungle was bound together for good or ill. As long as Cuzz's jungle collapsed, his mid lane would be much safer. At the very least, it would not be a problem for him to push the lane.
Karma did not even take 30 seconds to clear the first wave of minions. Lin Yan successfully pushed the minions into BDD's defense tower before the second wave of minions reached the middle lane. After that, he retreated and disappeared into the middle lane.
BDD wanted to follow him and plant a hidden scout to scout Lin Yan's movements, but a few minions with low health were surrounding him.
The damage was still manageable since Galio could return to the city after finishing off three waves of minions. However, the problem was that he was stuck in his position!
After avoiding the minions' collision, BDD finally planted an eye accessory in front of Lin Yan's tower. However, Karma had already disappeared.
When the second wave of minions reached the middle lane, Lin Yan appeared again. BDD could see clearly that Karma came out from the bushes at the bottom of the middle lane.
BDD's gaze froze. "Nukan, be careful. He might've set up an eye on the blue buff."
Hearing this, Cuzz was about to explode.
Are you serious, Sir?
I'm already in such a miserable state and you still want to mess with me?
"I'm here, don't be afraid!"
In Cuzz's heart, Greila's voice was heavenly. Even though he had not reached level 2, he still decided to support the jungle.
At this moment, Lin Yan had killed the first Close Combat Soldier in the second wave and had risen to Level 2. Then, he once again disappeared into the middle lane.
It was only then that BDD realized that something was amiss. Earlier on, in order to plant a spy, he had taken a few steps forward while bearing the aggro of the minions. As a result, when the second wave of minions arrived, the minions from before did not enter his defense tower!
Galio's action was equivalent to pulling the line of minions. With that, without the help of a defense tower, it would be extremely difficult for BDD to quickly clear 7 minions and level up to Level 2!
"I can't make it now. Can you guys retreat?"
BDD was sweating profusely. Level 1 Gario's combat power was extraordinarily weak and could not be compared to Level 2 Karma at all.
'Retreat?'
Cuzz, who was about to pull the blue buff to the bushes at the side, was furious. 'If I give up the blue buff again, how am I supposed to fight?'
"Hurry up and clear the line, we'll try our best to stall them!"
Greila knew that they could not give up the blue buff to their opponents. Otherwise, Cuzz would explode and they could even FF and swim back to Korea.
"Stall them, just stall them!" Rat King was still pushing the line with its sniper rifle. "I'll level up to Level 2 soon, I'll go too!"
Although Lin Yan did not see Cuzz, who was sticking close to the edge of the wall, through the accessory eyes that were planted in the Dragonball Blue buff camp, he had a panoramic view of Greila's whereabouts.
"Go kill Rat King, don't snatch the blue buff!" Lin Yan decisively ordered his teammates to change their target.
Dragonball was well-prepared. Furthermore, this was a battle that broke out in their jungle. Lin Yan did not want to fight such an unprepared battle in the deciding match.
Liu Qingsong, who was squatting in the bushes by the river, decisively listened to his big brother's advice and controlled his robot to go straight down.
Phyllostachys Pubescens, who had originally planned to go to the bottom half of the jungle, changed his direction and planned to go to the top lane to see if there was a chance.
"Karma and his robot are rushing down the river … Dragonball has no vision in the river!" Doll's voice was mixed with disbelief. "They've made a huge mistake!"
"Dragonball knows nothing about YM's movements. This vision setup will make them pay a painful price!" Mille shouted after a brief moment of shock.
Many viewers were also mocking Dragonball's obvious vision hole.
[So this is LCK?
Their vision is worse than IG hahaha]
[What the f * ck is worse than IG? They're playing two at once, right?]
[I realize that Dragonball is not like any other player.
He's not as reckless as LPL when it comes to fighting, and his operations are not as good as SKT's Samsung. He can crush weak teams, but against strong teams, he'll be stripped of his underwear.]
[Dragonball has lost the operations passed down by their ancestors!]
The viewers and commentators were criticizing Dragonball's vision problem. If Dragonball's players were to hear this, they would definitely cry foul.
Although their vision was not as good as SKT's or Samsung's, it was not bad at all!
LCK had won the championship for three years in a row. Although it seemed that the fists did not weaken the Korean division, Chun Li and the others had put in a lot of hard work.
Taipei's Assassin Stars was the pioneer of the 41 minute strategy, but it was LCK that really carried forward this strategy.
From S3 SKT's Jax to S4 Samsung White's wild assist to Looper's advantage, and then to S5 Ma Run's unsolvable operations to supplement his development.
Every time Chun Li and the other fists' designers tried to weaken the strategy of LCK's championship last year, the Korean division was always able to come up with new tricks with the 41 minute strategy.
A few years ago, when China and Korea clashed, the pain that lingered in the hearts of countless LPL viewers was similar. LPL relied on head-on team battles to take down one or two opponents, but did not gain much. However, the bottom lane had already been broken through by the Korean top laner, and in the end, they had no choice but to retreat to defend the high ground.
Returning to defend the bottom lane meant that they had to give up the vision of the Dragon's pit, which was far away in the top half of the map. Then, the LCK team would use their rich experience to fish for the Dragon's pit and take down the Dragon by controlling their vision. After that, the LPL team would be defeated in one go.
This kind of 41: 1 push, apart from the fact that every world champion's top laner could crush their opponents, was ultimately because their understanding of the game was too far ahead of the other divisions. Whether it was the four players in the front relying on eye position information during the 41: 1 push, or the standardized anti-grab vision of the top laners on the flanks …
Vision was the foundation of LCK41's strategy.
If they wanted to split the flanks, they had to have good vision. This was because the scariest thing about splitting the flanks was to forcefully open the front.
For example, in IG, they currently had the top offensive top laner, The Shy, but his ability to split the flanks was extremely poor. This was because his vision was too poor — he could not hold on in the front, and he would also be caught in the flanks.
This year, Dragon Ball relied on Khan's super ability to establish an effective 41 minute strategy. Jesse and Qing Gang Yin, who had used Khan countless times to single-handedly end the game, naturally had good vision.
However, they were really at their wit's end in this situation.
The reason was very simple, they had no vision!
In the current version, the cooldown time of the level one accessory eye was 180 seconds. In other words, up until now, each of them only had one accessory eye that they could use!
Previously, Dragon Ball's jungler had set up vision in the top half of the map at the 40-second point; the mid laner BDD had placed his accessory eye on the line; Gera had placed an eye in his own bottom half of the map at the beginning of the game to guard against Liu Qingsong's invasion.
As a result, in the first three minutes, Dragon Ball only had Rat King's accessory eye that could be used freely — Pray had just placed an anti-ganking eye on the triangular grass in the bottom lane.
This caused the entire bottom lane to be dark in Dragon Ball's vision. It was not until Lin Yan and Liu Qingsong crossed the bottom lane that Dragon Ball's players discovered YM's whereabouts!
"What's the situation?
Didn't you want to use an anti-blue buff? "
"Save me!" Rat King's tone was full of despair.
However, who could help him?
"Pray pushed the line too deeply in order to snatch the 2!" Mille supported himself with both hands on the commentary platform. "It's too late to retreat now!"
Lin Yan's RQ [Spiritual Flame] forced Rat King to flash, while Liu Qingsong went straight to Policewoman's face. Q [Mechanical Flying Claw] was still in his hands and did not use it.
"Ran used W [Unbreakable] spirit chain to tie Policewoman. Rat King's flash is not necessary!"
In Doll's high-pitched commentary, Rat King successfully leveled up to Level 2 with the help of a melee soldier's death. He immediately used E [90 Diameter Rope Net] to shoot out a rope net and retreated with the help of the recoil.
However, the Policewoman's E skill had a very serious stun effect. Professional players could only use their Q and W skills to do other things while the stun effect was active.
However, at this time, this stiff action was like a target in front of a robot!
Mechanical Flying Claw!
In the ring, Emperor Britz's glove stretched out at the right moment and hooked Policewoman back to his side!
This hook instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the live audience, and the already hot Guangzhou Stadium's atmosphere once again climbed to the highest point!
"Liu Qingsong is very calm. He held the hook in his hand and waited until Rat King showed a flaw before making a move!"
In the waves of cheers from the audience, Mille also raised his voice at the same time. "Pray is going to fall!"
In the next moment, a spirit chain was formed and tied Policewoman in place again.
"Give me the head, give me the head!"
Jack turned into a dog with a human head and desperately repeated in the team voice chat. It was as if whoever shouted louder would get the head.
However, Lin Yan only criticized a few words. He still gave Policewoman's head to Jack.
YM's lineup determined that Jack had to fatten up, or else he would not be able to play.
Moreover, Dragon Ball's system was obviously betting on the bottom lane. Lin Yan could not let Rat King and Policewoman's quick push system work. It was also very important to fatten up Jack, who was facing Policewoman.
Lin Yan glanced at the bottom lane's minions and found that they were gathered in front of Jack's tower. He quickly asked, "Did you use E?"
"No, no!" Jack's mind turned a thousand times and quickly responded.
Since Liu Qingsong had started to wander before the minions were connected, Jack would not have been able to control the lane at that time. He might as well not learn the skill points in case of an emergency.
At that time, even if he learned E [Exploding Spark], he would have to say that he did not learn it. Otherwise, the passive damage would cause Little Pao to be unable to control the minions. Then, Lin Yan would be energized. Helping his teammates to push the minions was naturally his duty.
Coming from level 3 to level 18, was this called a dirty soldier?
Good brother, I'm just helping you push the minions.
Lin Yan did not get the answer he wanted. He could only rush back to the middle lane and continue to kill his minions.
On the commentary platform, Mille was gloating. It was rare for him to be so sarcastic. "Rat King used his own death to help Cuzz control his first buff. What a touching Korean teammate."
Cuzz frowned and tearfully swallowed the blue buff into his stomach.
If he could do it all over again, he would choose … he would choose to die for Rat King.
Every time the Policewoman died, the progression of the game would be delayed by more than a minute. This was undoubtedly a disaster for her, who was very demanding in the early game.
Even the early game of Dragon Ball would be affected because of this!
At this time, the caster's camera quickly switched to the top lane of Summoner's Canyon.
"Xiao Tian has not been idle during this time. He helped Jin Gong to use Khan's Blink …" Mille looked at what was happening on the screen and quickly changed his words. "No, Jin Gong used E to taunt Khan. It will be difficult for him to escape!"
Khan's Nar had fought with Jin Gong before the minions arrived. Although he had profited from the blood swap, he was not in a healthy state to begin with.
In addition, he was in a very deep position in the early game. Furthermore, the level 2 Nar did not have E [Light Jump]. If he was caught by Princes, even if he used Blink, it would be difficult for him to escape death.
"Three blossoms in the top and bottom!"
Doll saw the development of the situation and felt that he did not have to work overtime tonight. His mood immediately rose. "The game has not even been three minutes and Dragon Ball is once again at a huge disadvantage!"
[Why is Dragon Ball so weak?]
[Could this be the weakest team in the top eight?
We thought they were strong?]
[Everyone is pretty fierce. Why are you cramping when it comes to you?]
[Thinking about it carefully, there is a reason why Dragon Ball lost to RNG and was ranked second in the group.]
[Ah, this … RNG lost a game to Dragon Ball. Could it be that RNG is also weak?]
[Before the elimination round, I thought Dragon Ball was hiding some big move. What the hell was it hiding, hiding it all the way to S8?]
The comments were crazily mocking Dragon Ball's corpse. The atmosphere was joyous and harmonious. After experiencing the pain of WE being trampled by Samsung yesterday, YM's performance today made them puff out their chests and raise their heads.
LCK No. 3 seed crushing LPL No. 3 seed?
Today, I'll let you see how the LPL No. 1 seed will crush the LCK Summer Champion!
"Brother's Alliance, we can withdraw money from the top lane. This guy is very easy to catch." Mongoose helped Jin Gong push the minions under the opponent's tower.
He felt that Khan was particularly abnormal in this round. From the moment he came online and handed over the accessory to Jin Gong, to this wave of overly aggressive suppression, his emotions were very obvious.
Khan was anxious.
What kind of normal top laner would go overboard when he knew that the opponent's jungler had just reversed the buff from the top lane?
Xiao Tian did not believe that Khan could not guess his position. He was clearly betting that he would not go for the top lane!
Phyllostachys Pubescens was very familiar with this playstyle. In the highly tense match, he took the time to think about what was going on outside of the field for two seconds before he reacted.
If he covered Khan's ID, he would have thought that he was the world's easiest top laner to catch!
However, Khan's current state was even crazier. The Sh's playstyle was still very normal. Even though he dared to catch and die, it was far from the extent of Khan's madness.
If you dare to play like this, wouldn't it be bad if I don't find someone to withdraw money?
Phyllostachys Pubescens had always enjoyed blessings together. He planned to call his friends to the top lane to find an ATM to withdraw money.
"No, no, no. We'll focus on the bottom lane and kill him. The top laner won't care about him twice." Lin Yan opened his mouth to reject Mongoose's suggestion. "He's waiting for us to catch him. That way, the bottom lane rat king will feel better."
Xiao Tian suddenly realized that he had underestimated one layer. Seeing that Khan was still fiercely suppressing the top lane, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Lin Yan had guessed correctly. The reason why Khan was suppressing Jin Gong so fiercely was because he wanted to attract YM's firepower for Policewoman.
Cuzz collapsed once the game started. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in a competition, Khan would have punched the little jungler into the ICU.
'You're complaining that we haven't helped you enough recently. How can you push the blame to someone else when you're collapsing at the start of the game?
'Are you a pushover?'
The jungler was unreliable. Seeing that the opposing support was about to be conjoined with Princes, Khan could only rely on overly aggressive positioning to trick the opponent into catching him.
As long as the bot came to the top lane to catch him twice, the bottom lane rat king would definitely eat him!
If he didn't come, then the Khan himself would be able to take advantage of Jin Gong through this aggressive suppression.
He would not lose out no matter what.
However, Khan's intention had been seen through. He was destined to develop alone in the top lane for a period of time. YM did not want to touch him at all.
Lin Yan and BDD were still facing each other. However, as he went to the bottom lane to catch the rat king previously, although he managed to kill it, he lost some experience.
Now that Gario returned to the city to make double rings for the first time, Lin Yan could no longer suppress BDD. Of course, BDD could not suppress him either.
Both midlaners only needed 15 seconds to clear the normal minions, leaving them free to do whatever they wanted in the remaining time.
Lin Yan naturally went straight to the bottom lane. After losing the first two matches, BDD came back to his senses and tried to support the jungler to relieve Cuzz's pressure.
BDD, who was released from Earth-bound Spirit, turned into an attending physician and tried his best to help Cuzz get rid of his illness.
The effect was very obvious. Cuzz's condition was alleviated by a lot. One gank caused Jack to summon twice; one reverse crouch forced Lin Yan to use his flash.
"Nice!" The Korean commentators almost stood up and cheered. "Contestant Cuzz, please keep up the good work!"
"As long as you control the midlaner Karma, if Ran's support is not successful, YM's rhythm will be broken!" Raging Heavenly Lord was full of hope.
At 6 minutes and 55 seconds, the Dragon Pearl Red Buff was successfully refreshed. Cuzz, who had just forced Lin Yan to use his flash, was full of confidence. He wanted to rely on the double protection of Khan, who had control of the jungler, and BDD, who had leveled up to level 6, to receive the Red Buff to supplement his development.
However, as soon as he started fighting, his entire body flew over the wall uncontrollably!
On the other side of the wall, Britz stared at him with his titanium dog eyes and punched him mercilessly.
"RR RR RR RR RR RR RR!" When Cuzz saw Princes beside the robot, his expression changed and he immediately called for backup.
Next, Gario, who was near the middle tower, spread his wings and brought the Wine Barrel into his protection zone!
Cuzz wanted to counterattack, but Princes's damage was so high that it was beyond his imagination!
He looked at his equipment column again and saw that Phyllostachys Pubescens was holding two longswords!
He was obviously trying to synthesize [Caulfield's Warhammer] and buy a warrior's jungler!
'F * ck!
'Are you looking down on me?'
Cuzz gritted his teeth in anger.
In this version of the game, junglers were mainly responsible for starting the team and being honest. Princes basically used Slag Jungler and Quicksilver Shoes. Depending on the situation, he could also make Gargoyle Stone Armor.
What was the meaning of a warrior's jungler?
Although Cuzz was unhappy, Princes taught him a lesson with his damage. The extra 20 points of attack from the two longswords made Princes' halberd look thick and hard.
Even with Gario's damage reduction effect, Wine Barrel could not withstand the two halberds!
As Cuzz did not receive any headcount in the early stages of the game, he only had a green jungler and a health point of less than 800 points.
In addition, there was a robot beside him that kept punching him. Although the damage from its normal attack was not high, it was followed by Ignite.
At that moment, a thick layer of shield appeared on Princes' body — Secret Meaning!
Mercy Over the Soul
"Not long after BDD used his big move, Jin Gong also used his R skill. Looks like this battle is really going to start!"
However, YM's gathering speed was much faster. There was no need to talk about the speed of Shen's big move. Because Khan's line was too deep, even though he had control of the line, the distance between him and his own jungle was much longer.
In comparison, Lin Yan was much faster. He would probably be able to join the battle when Gario landed.
Cuzz panicked when he saw Karma appear at the end of his vision.
Gria was on his way here on horseback while Khan's Nar had just reached the triangular bushes on the top lane. There was still some distance to go.
In other words, he and BDD had to hold on for four seconds under YM's attack!
He was left with 50% of his health points. If Shen landed on Karma, this 50% of his health points would evaporate in an instant!
"Cuzz adjusted his angle. Looks like he wants to hit more people …" Before Mille could finish his sentence, the audience laughed.
"That's not right. Why is he trying to escape?" Doll's classic wailing was heard.
In the Summoner's Canyon, the moment Gario landed, Cuzz controlled Wine Barrel to adjust his angle so that Meat Egg Onion Chicken jumped over the wall!
He actually betrayed BDD alone!
Gario was dumbfounded when he landed.
'Where are my teammates?'
BDD was infuriated. 'You're the one who told me to roll down, but now you're running away and leaving me here alone?'
He glanced at the three YM players. Gario only had two rings on him, so he did not have a high level of defense.
If he was alone, YM would definitely focus their attacks and Gario would not be able to take so much damage!
BDD looked at Wine Barrel who was about to run away and decisively used Flash Over the Wall!
"But Mongoose has a double EQ combo. Dragon Ball's jungler is going to be held back!"
Ever since Gario revealed the range of his big move, Phyllostachys Pubescens had been saving his skill. He did not expect it to come in handy!
"Be careful when the big move lands, E's taunt follow!"
Lin Yan cast a shield on Princes through the wall, then casually used an RQ and retreated.
That was enough. YM's control chain had killed Wine Barrel, and BDD had no way of escaping!
"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng Guo …" Cuzz looked at the black and white screen with regret.
If he had known that he was going to die, he would not have betrayed his teammates.
[Is that even something a human can do?]
[It's still that lightspeed escape.]
[That's good, that's good. Two minutes ago, I thought that Cuzz's condition had improved and he was going to dominate the competition. I didn't expect him to be sent to the ICU again.]
[His escaping skills are not up to par. In the end, he still died. I suggest you learn more from the Factory Director.]
[Haven't you learned enough from him?
I don't believe that Cuzz didn't learn anything from the Factory Director. "When it comes to disappointing people, EDG and Cuzz are the same. They never disappoint."]
The bullet screen was overjoyed. This time, Dragon Ball's jungler was killed and all the resources in the jungler were plundered. Once again, the pace of the early game was controlled by YM.
The scales of victory were tilted!
