You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 256 Unstoppable, Zhou Shen's performance in the MSI semifinals was pure bullying!
"Fuck, that's awesome!"

"Wow, Zhou Ge is awesome!"

"Wow, Zhou, you can solo kill someone at level one? You're pretty awesome!"

The notification sound for first blood rang in my headphones.

In the LGD team's voice chat, teammates praised him one after another.

"Well, I'm lucky, I'm lucky. If Shen wanted to rush up and get himself killed, there was nothing I could do!"

Zhou Dian naturally offered a small dose of "humility".

Of course, there's nothing wrong with what he said.

Although Mimi Egg was tricked by him this time, it wasn't entirely a case of feeding the enemy.

However, being able to achieve a solo kill at level one naturally requires the cooperation of the opponent.

A level 1 solo kill is generally not something that can be achieved by one party alone.

Meanwhile, in the Flash Wolves' team voice chat...

After seeing Shen give away first blood, Karsa immediately said with slight annoyance, "No, don't give away first blood!"

"Brother Ka, I..." Mimi Egg hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

In the end, he didn't say anything more.

Because Karsa doesn't seem to have any problems either.

If he didn't want to die, how could he possibly get solo killed at level one!

In the end, Mimi Egg simply muttered, "The snake woman didn't use Flash!"

After noting down the time of the Cassiopeia's Blink, I put it in the chat box in the lower left corner.

Shinya has been resurrected.

After all, it's only level one, so the resurrection time is quite fast.

Basically, it's a free return to town.

However, after being resurrected, Shen didn't even have enough money to buy a single healing potion.

Shen had already knocked over the bottle of blood potion he left behind.

If Shen goes out without any supplies right now, Mimi Egg won't even dare to log on.

Anyway, the minion wave hasn't reached the tower yet, so even if I go online now, I won't be able to get any minions.

I might as well just wait at home until I have enough money for a bottle of blood medicine before going online.

Upon seeing Shen resurrected, he suddenly stopped moving in the fountain.

Karsa felt even more irritable.

"Wait, Mimi Egg, what are you doing in the fountain? Are you AFK?"

Upon hearing Karsa's words, Mimi Egg quickly explained, "No, no, Brother Karsa, this is a match, how could I possibly AFK? I'm just waiting for the money for a health potion, anyway, I won't get any experience points if I go up now!"

"You still know this is a competition!" Karsa shook his head speechlessly, leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.

Let's save the harsh words for after the match; let's focus on the game now!
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Shen finally had fifty dollars on him.

Mimi Egg immediately teleported towards its own top lane tower.

At the same time, I opened the Spring Water Shop and bought a bottle of Blood Potion.

And on the road.

After killing Shen, Zhou Dian immediately started pushing the lane aggressively with his Cassiopeia.

Because it eventually attracted the aggro of the Flash Wolves minions, the top lane minion wave pushed towards the Flash Wolves.

If you can't control the line, you might as well push it.

After Shen teleported to his own top lane tier 1 tower and landed, Cassiopeia quickly pushed a large wave of minions to the Flash Wolves' top tier 1 tower.

A few seconds later, after the minion wave pushed past the tower, Zhou Dian controlled Cassiopeia to push into the bush on the top lane, and then pressed the B key.

Meanwhile, Mimi Egg quickly controlled Shen to last-hit minions under the tower.

Mimi Egg's last hit on this tower was incredibly meticulous.

He knew one thing very well.

That means that in the next few minutes, apart from the wave of tower kills in front of him, his Shen might not be able to last-hit any more minions.

Back at the fountain, Zhou Dian immediately bought the Tear of the Goddess.

Then he controlled the snake woman to walk up the path.

The Archangel's Staff is considered the core equipment for the Medusa. The sooner you craft the Tear of the Goddess and stack it up, the sooner your combat power will be fully developed.

As for the Staff of Time, it's not absolutely necessary for the Medusa.

In this game, apart from Varus, none of the Flash Wolves players had particularly long range.

Therefore, Zhou Dian does not plan to build Rod of Ages in this game, but instead plans to build Ice Lance.

Tank-type heroes usually choose between Rod of Ages and Hextech Gauntlet.

As for building Tear of the Goddess as the first item, there will be issues with insufficient ability power and a lack of damage in the short term.

The snake woman now has two layers of killing rings on her body, which perfectly solves this problem.

Soon, the snake woman returned to the top lane.

Meanwhile, the minion wave on the top lane, after reaching the Flash Wolves' top tower, has now pushed back out.

Next, the top lane minions will push towards LGD's side.

Zhou Dian directly controlled Cassiopeia to stand in front of the minion wave, leaving Shen helplessly watching from behind.

At the beginning, the top lane minions hadn't even crossed the river yet.

Cassiopeia only pushed forward slightly to prevent Shen from getting close to the minion wave.

Shen has no ranged abilities.

Faced with this situation, they really couldn't get a single soldier.

As the minion waves converged at the point where they crossed the river, they got closer and closer to LGD's top tower.

The distance the Cassiopeia crossed the minion wave increased significantly.

Soon, Shen was pushed out of the experience zone.

Now not only can I not last-hit minions, I can't even get experience points.

All I can say is that Mimi Egg's earlier hunch was right.

After finishing off that large wave of tower creeps, Shen didn't get another creep for the next two minutes.

The gap between Shen and the Cassiopeia has widened from single digits to double digits.

It gradually rose from 10 to 20, and then approached the 30 mark.

Mimi Egg has no way to solve this situation on its own.

You can only call for people.

But now he wouldn't dare ask Karsa for help.

Let's not disrupt Brother Ka's train of thought; I'll just try to handle the pressure myself first.

This pressure is almost too much for him to bear!

Karsa was not unaware of his team's predicament in the top lane.

However, the top lane minions were closer to LGD's side at this moment, and with Graves having no hard crowd control and Shen on the lane having no Flash, there was no way for him to gank Cassiopeia!

They can only wait for the top lane minions to push towards Flash Wolves again.

Although this process may take a long time due to the Cassiopeia's deliberate control of the lane.

But there was nothing we could do but wait.

Karsa just hopes that Mimi Egg won't be sent again while she's waiting.

However, it seems that Mimi Egg has learned its lesson and is very good at holding back.

I'd rather forgo the experience points than go forward and get hit by the snake woman.

Karsa's Graves farmed from top to bottom in this game.

After clearing the entire lower jungle, Graves went to the lower river and took down the lower river crab.

Next, Karsa controlled Graves and wandered around the bottom lane area, but didn't have many opportunities to gank LGD's bottom lane.

With Flash Wolves' jungler, support, and bot lane trio, and LGD's support player being Braum...

Before Varus reaches level six and has his ultimate, if he manages to catch either of LGD's bot lane duo, it can be considered that they are feeding.

There's no chance in the bottom lane.

So Graves went into LGD's blue buff area, killed the newly spawned Gromp, and then Karsa pressed the B key to recall.

After replenishing his equipment, Graves emerged from the fountain and headed straight for the upper jungle.

At this point, the Swamp Frog and the three wolves had already spawned in the Lightning Wolf's blue zone.

However, Karsa did not farm those two jungle camps, but instead controlled Graves to head straight to the top lane.

The reason is simple: the top lane minion wave is finally pushing towards Flash Wolves again.

We need to hurry and go to the top lane to gank Cassiopeia.

If we wait until we finish clearing these two groups of jungle monsters in our own blue buff area, Cassiopeia might already be level six.

At that time, his Graves and Mimi's Shen, both level 4 heroes, will go head-to-head with Cassiopeia, who is level 6 and has her ultimate ability.

Even if it's two against one, we still can't win!
Upon reaching the river bushes near the top lane, Karsa asked, "Are there any wards here?"

"No eyes, Brother Ka, let's go!" Mimi Egg hurriedly said.

At this moment, Zhou Dian was having a great time dominating the top lane.

Just as he was considering how to dive Shen after the minion wave pushed into the tower, Graves appeared from behind him.

As Zhou Dian had expected, given the current minion wave situation in the top lane, Graves should have arrived by now.

Unless Karsa has truly given up on the road.

Since we're here, let's fight!
Even though the snake woman hasn't reached level six yet, she can still put up a fight against two opponents.

However, without Flash and without reaching level 6, Cassiopeia still struggled to win a 1v2 situation, even though she was ahead of Flash Wolves' top and jungle in levels.

In the end, the Cassiopeia chased down and killed Shen, who also didn't have Flash.

Then he got taken down by Graves.

However, before dying, the Cassiopeia also crippled Graves.

And it was delayed until the prince arrived.

Eimy naturally accepted the Graves' kill with a smile, feeling quite pleased!
In the commentary box.

Remember to shout: "One for two! LGD made a huge profit this time!"

“Yes!” Su Xiaoyan nodded, “First of all, we’ve gained one more person!”

"Secondly, Zhou Shen's Cassiopeia still has Teleport, so she can teleport back to the game immediately after resurrection, and won't lose much minions or experience!"

"And Mimi's Shen was already in a bad situation. He died this wave and didn't teleport back, so he missed out on another huge wave of minions!"

On the large screen at the scene.

Eimy's Prince arrived in the top lane, killed Graves, and then helped Zhou Dian push the top lane minion wave, which Cassiopeia hadn't pushed to the tower yet, into the Flash Wolves' top tower.

A large wave of minions was seen pushing into the tower, only to be gradually whittled down by the tower.

Mimi Egg's heart was bleeding.

However, Shen has not yet been resurrected, so he can only watch helplessly.

Even if they are resurrected, they still have to walk back online.

By the time Shen respawns and walks back to his own top tower, there will probably be less than two red minions left in the large wave under the tower.

Shen was already in pretty bad shape, so Mimi was just waiting for this wave of minions to push into the tower so she could finish him off.

As a result, Graves ganked.

Got it!
It's even worse!
The collapse of heaven and earth!

Of course, Shen wasn't the only one who suffered losses in this gank.

Although Graves got the Cassiopeia's kill, his own kill was taken by Jarvan IV.

More importantly, after pushing the top lane minion wave, the prince took the opportunity to enter the Flash Wolves' blue buff area.

I farmed the Gromp and Wolves that Graves hadn't farmed yet.

Missing two camps of jungle monsters in the early game is a huge loss for a champion like Graves!

In conclusion, Graves' gank in the top lane resulted in a huge loss for Flash Wolves.

Moreover, the negative impact of this wave continues to spread.

The most pressing issue is Shen's level.

In those few minutes, Shen lost countless experience points.

It's unclear when Shen will reach level six. On the other hand, LGD's Galio reached level six smoothly just six minutes into the game.

Galio has an ultimate ability, but Shen does not.

LGD has an additional wide-range support skill, which is a real deterrent.

Utilize this invisible deterrent force that could be added at any time.

LGD has indeed reaped a lot of benefits.

Game time is 6 minutes and 50 seconds.

After Zhou Dian finished pushing the top lane minion wave, he controlled Cassiopeia to go to the Flash Wolves' blue buff area, walked into the small bush in front of the blue buff camp, and crouched down.

They also placed the trinket ward from the snake woman in the passageway between the three wolves and the blue buff.

In just a few seconds, Flash Wolves' second blue buff will respawn.

He was waiting for the male gunner to come over.

For champions like Graves, the second blue buff is usually not given to the mid laner.

LeBlanc isn't the kind of pure farming carry mage, and she doesn't rely on the blue buff much right now.

Therefore, Zhou Dian predicted that Graves would definitely come alone to take the blue buff.

Sure enough, it only took a few seconds.

The figure of Graves appeared in the vision range of the trinket that the Cassiopeia had just placed.

Zhou Dian did not rush to make a move.

Instead, he waited until the Graves turned around and faced the bush where the Cassiopeia was before suddenly pressing the R key.

After a sharp whistling sound.

The snake woman's petrifying gaze (R) fell upon the gunner.

Graves, who was hit head-on by Cassiopeia's ultimate, was instantly petrified on the spot.

At the same time, Cassiopeia's Q skill landed at Graves' feet.

Next, the Cassiopeia's Twin Fangs (E) blasted the Graves.

When attacking poisoned units, Cassiopeia's E skill deals incredibly high damage.

In addition, CDs are incredibly short.

And Graves hasn't built any magic resistance items yet.

This caused Graves' health to drop very quickly.

Before Graves could recover from his petrified state, Cassiopeia threw Poison Mist (W) at his feet.

Cassiopeia's W skill has the effects of binding the ground and slowing the target.

After being hit by Cassiopeia's W skill, Graves was unable to use any mobility skills.

The Graves, severely slowed down, was killed by Cassiopeia before he could even leave the range of her W skill.

Seeing this, Remember said, "With Cassiopeia's ultimate ability hitting him first, Graves is completely unable to move!"

"Now Karsa's Graves is also in trouble. Flash Wolves' top and jungle are both collapsing, and they're at a huge disadvantage!" Su Xiaoyan added.

And in the official LPL live stream room.

After seeing the Cassiopeia kill Graves, some viewers couldn't hold back their excitement.

[Huh? You just ambushed and killed Graves like that? Is it really that easy?]

[Wait, is it really that easy for Zhou to kill someone? This is the MSI semifinals, not a casual ranked game!]

Even in casual ranked games, many professional players wouldn't have it this easy!

It felt like the situation was completely under Zhou Shen's control; he could do whatever he wanted, anytime, anywhere!

I don't know how to describe it, but it felt like Zhou Shen played very relaxed in this level of competition; it was as if nothing could make him tense!

[Zhou Shen is playing very relaxed!]

[Yes, yes, that's it! Zhou Shen played with a relaxed attitude throughout the match. His expression during the draft phase was also very relaxed!]

To put it bluntly, the opponents weren't strong enough! Zhou Shen was noticeably more tense during the match against SKT!

Indeed, Flash Wolves really fell short; Zhou Shen played like he was stomping on noobs in this MSI semifinal!

To be fair, Flash Wolves aren't actually that bad! But Zhou Shen beating Mimi Egg was definitely a case of stomping a noob!

[Mimi Egg: Are you being polite?]

【.】

Back to the game.

After killing the Graves, the Cassiopeia got another kill.

It's already in a state of no return.

Then, Cassiopeia brazenly started taking the newly spawned blue buff in Flash Wolves' jungle.

During the subsequent game time.

LGD's top, mid, and jungle players huddled together and swept the entire top half of the map.

After taking down the Flash Wolves' top lane turret and securing the first turret kill, Cassiopeia switched to the bottom lane.

The top, mid, and jungle trio of Cassiopeia, Jarvan IV, and Galio once again synergized and swept across the entire bottom half of the map.

Cassiopeia is the main damage dealer, while Jarvan IV and Galio serve as support units.

These three people, when they walk together, basically kill anyone they see.

They don't even need to get together; Galio can provide support across half the map whenever he has his ultimate ability.

Under Zhou Dian's leadership, the pace of the game accelerated.

The whole thing was utterly devastating.

The Flash Wolves were completely outmatched.

LGD continued to erode the map support, and the economic gap between the two sides widened.

Flash Wolves repeatedly postponed many of their support efforts.

In order to prolong their lives for a little longer.

But they couldn't hold out for long.

The game lasted 27 and a half minutes.

LGD players carried the Baron buff and a wave of super minions that were also buffed by the Baron buff.

They destroyed the Flash Wolves' base crystal in one fell swoop.

In this game, Imp's Twitch in the bottom lane just farmed minions, and in team fights, he could just use his ultimate to fire a few arrows and win.

After all, this is still quite early; it's not even the time when the hero Rat truly shines yet.

On the large screen at the scene.

The blue team's base crystal exploded.

Remember to shout loudly: "So, let's congratulate LGD for winning the BO5 MSI semifinals in straight sets, taking a 2-0 lead over their opponent Flash Wolves, and holding three match points!"

Congratulations to LGD!

Changmao and Su Xiaoyan also spoke in turn.

The camera pans to the LGD players' bench.

Several LGD players quickly got up from their seats and headed towards the player tunnel.

Unlike the last game when most of them were expressionless at the end.

After the game ended, on their way to the players' tunnel, the LGD players chatted and laughed, their faces beaming with joy.

Also.

After a crushing victory, with a 2-0 lead and three match points, they had won the game.

Anyone would be happy to be in this situation!

Looking at the game duration alone, the second game only lasted two minutes less than the first game.

However, the two games were completely different in terms of actual content.

In the first game, LGD was at a disadvantage for a long time in the mid-game and was suppressed.

Finally, they seized a good opportunity and managed to turn the tide.

But in the previous game...

LGD completely dominated Flash Wolves from start to finish!
In terms of ease of victory, the second game was several levels stronger than the first.

Sitting in the player tunnel, Zhou Dian thought to himself, "To win easily against a mere Flash Wolves team, this is the simple and brutal way to play!"

After both players entered the player tunnel.

The live stream also switched from the commentary booth to the analysis booth.

As soon as the camera switched back to normal, Guan Zeyuan's first words were: "After watching this second game, I have only one feeling!"

"Oh? How does it feel?" Rita chimed in at the right moment.

"That's when Zhou Shen gets the counter position."

After a pause, Guan Zeyuan continued, "As Zhou Shen's opposing player, you'd better not choose a tank top laner!"

"Otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"

Upon hearing this, Zhihuan nodded and said, "It seems that's indeed the case!"

"That's absolutely right!" Guan Zeyuan's lips curled up, and the smile he had been suppressing finally showed on his face.

"I've realized that when it comes to the ability to torment melee tank heroes by playing a hero later in the game, all the top laners in the world combined can't compare to Zhou Shen!"

“That’s absolutely right!” Zhihuan nodded again. “Many top laners in the LPL have already become victims, and today we have added another victim, Mimi Egg!”

"Actually, Mimi Dan was tormented by Zhou Shen in the group stage. Do you remember that game where Zhou Shen played Vayne in the top lane against Mimi Dan's Galio in the top lane? It was the ultimate torture!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.

"That kid, he never learns his lesson! It's only been a few days since that game!"

Guan Zeyuan was in high spirits and wanted to continue the conversation.

The live stream has already shown the highlights of the match.

Guan Zeyuan had no choice but to end the topic.

After the highlight moments were played.

The live stream showed the post-match results panel for the second game.

Without a doubt, Cassiopeia dealt the highest damage in the entire game.

In the end, Zhou Dian's Cassiopeia with an 8-1 score also earned him the MVP title in the second game!

"Now, everyone, please take a short break. We will bring you the third game of the semifinals between LGD and Flash Wolves shortly!" Guan Zeyuan said in closing.

Subsequently, advertisements began playing in the official live stream room.

During the break between the second and third games of this best-of-five semifinal series.

Many LPL viewers' discussions have shifted away from this match.

In their view.

LGD is currently leading Flash Wolves 2-0, holding three match points.

The outcome of this match is no longer in doubt.

The only question now is whether LGD can complete a 3-0 sweep of Flash Wolves.

Some viewers felt that the team should have swept the Flash Wolves 3-0, giving them a severe humiliation and a profound lesson to those Taiwanese viewers who were too arrogant before the game.

Another group of viewers felt that since they were all compatriots, a 3-0 sweep would be a bit too embarrassing.

Why not let Flash Wolves win a game, to save face for their players?

Regardless of which viewpoint one holds.

One thing can be seen from this.

Few viewers believe that Flash Wolves can turn the tide on their own.

If they want to win a game and save face, they'll have to rely on LGD throwing the game.

For the Flash Wolves players, this might be even more painful than being down 0-2 in the series.

Of course, the competition is not over yet.

They don't know how viewers perceive them online.

At this moment, in the venue for the MSI semi-finals.

Backstage, Flash Wolves' rest room.

The atmosphere was completely silent.

Trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series is undoubtedly disheartening.

What's even more disheartening than the 0-2 score is that in the second game they just lost, they were completely dominated by their opponent LGD, with no chance to fight back.

(End of this chapter)
