Chapter 535 The real Zhou God has returned!

However, with all of FPX's outer turrets on both side lanes destroyed, Zhou Dian's Fiora found it difficult to push lanes.

The mid lane, needless to say, has always been a heavily fortified position, and has never been associated with the term "solo push".

With the outer turrets gone from the side lanes, Fiora now faces the enemy's high ground every time she pushes a lane.

On the edge of high ground, the distance between the three lines is very short.

If the other FPX players get to Fiora's lane, it will undoubtedly be much faster.

This wouldn't normally be considered a major problem; Zhou Dian has handled this kind of situation quite skillfully in the past with LGD.

However, in the 4-1 split push, the "4" is sometimes more important than the "1".

To maximize the split-pushing power of the dominant player, the other four teammates must have good coordination with the split-pushing player.

This kind of teamwork was a given when they were with LGD.

Even though his teammates at LGD later declined in performance, they still often messed up during the laning phase.

If the game drags on to a point where players can split push, LGD has a pretty good chance of winning.

However, he has only been with TES for a short time.

Those few scrimmages weren't enough for the rest of TES to cooperate with him in playing the 4-1 split push skillfully.

Logically speaking, 369 has mostly played damage-dealing top laners in the past.

The other four members of TES should be very good at coordinating with the top laner's split pushing.

But after joining TES, Zhou Dian realized after a few scrims that TES didn't know how to split push at all.

369 plays damage-dealing top laners, and no matter how much his teammates help him get fed, he always ends up in team fights.

Heroes who are good at team fights should participate in team fights, and heroes who are not good at team fights should also participate in team fights.

It's basically just team battles.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Dian chose to play tanks in the previous few matches.

In this game, after Fiora brought herself to FPX's high ground, the pressure on both offense and defense increased dramatically.

In situations like this, the cooperation and support of the other four teammates are essential.

However, the other TES players were always a step behind in coordinating with Fiora's lane rotations and setting up vision.

FPX's strategy and defense, on the other hand, were very stable and correct.

In just a few minutes, Zhou Dian clearly felt that FPX had stabilized the situation.

This can't go on. Are we going to let our Fiora fight in team fights?

In the end, we'll just have to go back to the old ways of team battles!
But Fiora isn't Camille; this champion isn't very effective in team fights, and the risks are too high.

It's far less effective than split pushing.

After glancing at FPX's lineup again, Zhou Dian gritted his teeth and said to his teammates, "Don't worry about me, all of you move closer to the top side of the map, and if you get the chance, go for Baron!"

Since cooperation is not understood, then it's better not to cooperate at all.

Zhou Dian decided to venture into the dragon's den alone.

Given FPX's lineup, he has a real chance to take on multiple opponents.

If Fiora can pull off a 1v3 against multiple opponents, the game is practically won.

At 27 minutes into the game, Fiora pushed the lane to FPX's bottom lane inhibitor.

At this time, the other four members of TES were in the mid lane or the top half of the map.

In the entire bottom half of the bracket, TES only had Fiora.

FPX's bottom lane inhibitor turret is now in dire straits, and Ornn is about to collapse on his own.

At this moment, on FPX's side, Doinb glanced at the minimap.

At this moment, FPX realized that all five TES players were now within their sights.

When Doinb saw that the five TES players were scattered across the map, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity to break the deadlock and decisively began to direct the attack.

"Liu Qingsong, you and I are going to gank Fiora in the bottom lane!" Doinb said quickly. "Xiaotian, you and Lin Weixiang, don't stray too far from Baron. If they start Baron, you two shouldn't go in yet!"

Doinb's judgment was very accurate. At this moment, Fiora was below his base, and he and his support could quickly gank her.

However, the other TES players were positioned too far apart to immediately initiate a fight against Baron Nashor.

After their mid, top, and support gank and kill Fiora, if TES is already fighting Baron, and both mid and top have Teleport, they can teleport directly there and trap all four TES players in the Baron pit.

This would completely reverse the situation in the game.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong immediately controlled his hero to follow Doinb to the bottom lane.

But he still asked, "Can we catch Fiora?"

“Yes, yes, they did a terrible job of providing vision for the split pushers!” Doinb replied immediately.

It can only be said that Doinb's control over the overall battle situation is truly outstanding.

In just over ten minutes of gameplay, he immediately identified the obvious problem with TES's 4-1 split push strategy.

FPX's mid laner and support quickly arrived at the bottom lane.

And they walked straight ahead without being exposed to TES's view.

On the TES side, Zhou Dian was constantly glancing at the minimap.

Furthermore, the player frequently switches between screens to check the minion waves and player distribution on other lanes.

Actually, when FPX's mid laner and support were halfway through their relationship...

Zhou Dian deduced that FPX was sending someone to gank him by observing the minion waves that FPX's mid and top laners were handling and the disappearance of FPX players on the map.

Moreover, it was a two-person effort from the mid laner and support to gank Fiora.

FPX definitely won't give up the Baron Nashor directly, so if they're going to gank Fiora, they can't send three people.

Regardless of how spread out the other TES players are, they are at least in the mid lane and the top half of the map.

FPX sent three players to gank Fiora in the bottom lane, and Baron Nashor was practically given away for free.

Given Fiora's current equipment, even if one person tries to gank her, the two of them, including Ornn, might not be able to do much against her.

Therefore, FPX will definitely send two players to gank Fiora in the bottom lane.

Since FPX isn't going to take the Baron, then the mid laner with Teleport must be one of them.

After catching and killing Fiora, FPX's mid and top laners teleported to the Baron pit and engaged in a 4v4 fight with TES. The one who couldn't go was inevitably the weakest support.

Rationally speaking, Zhou Dian should have stepped back at this point.

If he were still with LGD, he would have left by now.

However, given the current state of the game, Zhou Dian felt that his withdrawal might allow FPX to completely stabilize the situation.

This game is about to be canceled!
Can't leave!
This is FPX's chance to turn the tide, but it is also a golden opportunity for Zhou Dian to crush his opponent in one fell swoop!

It's been almost thirty minutes, and the enemy top laner Ornn isn't doing much damage at this point; his role is mainly to tank damage and initiate fights. Doinb, as always, picked his favorite early-game champion: strong early-game fighting power and fast wave clear, but useless in the late game and only good for passively farming.

In this situation, the damage is insufficient.

Add an assistant.

With three core items on her Fiora, why not try to take on three of these champions who don't have very high burst damage?

"Go to Baron, hurry up!" Zhou Dian said to his teammates in a very serious tone.

Two seconds later, FPX's mid laner and support appeared in the bottom lane, forming a pincer movement with Ornn under the bottom lane inhibitor turret, trapping Fiora below the high ground.

Ten seconds later, Doinb was killed under his own bottom lane inhibitor turret.

GimGoon and lqs, both with low health, escaped back to the fountain.

As soon as the four met, Zhou Dian, playing Fiora, used a W skill with strong predictive ability to block lqs's unexpected Flash initiation.

Then, within a second, Fiora unleashed a combo of A-Flash and four-hit combos, triggering a healing zone.

When the controlled Fiora, with her healing circle under her feet, managed to withstand a burst of damage from FPX's mid, top, and support without dying.

Fiora's 1v3 victory is now a foregone conclusion!

In the commentary box.

"This Fiora took on three opponents in one, and I won't ask if FPX players know how to play if they get counter-killed after being outnumbered three to one!"

"Because the person controlling Fiora is Zhou Shen!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.

"The real Zhou Shen is back!" Remember shouted along.

At this moment, the LPL official live broadcast room was flooded with "Zhou Shen is awesome" comments.

The cheers from the audience continued unabated, rising in waves.

On the big screen, Fiora was attacking the low-health FPX bottom lane inhibitor turret, while the other four TES players were fighting Baron Nashor.

FPX only had their AD carry and jungler near the dragon pit.

The top laner and support are still healing in the fountain.

Ultimately, FPX jungler Tian decided to charge into the Baron pit to try and steal the dragon.

Not fighting is also a loss.

There's still a chance if we manage to steal the dragon.

Of course, the result was that they didn't manage to get one.

When Xiaotian charged into the dragon pit, the other four members of TES stopped attacking at the same time.

The dragon's health is still far from being enough to be defeated by Smite.

After focusing fire and eliminating Xiaotian, the TES team calmly secured the Baron Nashor.

TES was once a top-three team in the regular season, both in the spring split and the first half of the summer split this year.

Although I don't know how to play the 4-1 split push, I am still very good at other team skills such as team fights and preventing dragon steals.

With Fiora destroying FPX's bottom lane inhibitor and TES securing Baron Nashor, TES managed to secure the victory.

FPX's loss in this game is a foregone conclusion!

A few minutes later, TES destroyed FPX's base crystal.

As the blue team's base crystal exploded on the big screen, Guan Zeyuan shouted, "Congratulations to TES! They've won a game, and the score is now 1-1!"

After a chat in the commentary booth, the MVP of the second game was announced on the big screen.

"Let's take a look at the MVP of this match. As expected, it can only be Zhou Shen's Fiora, it can't be anyone else!" Remember said.

"Alright, everyone, take a short break, and we'll bring you the decisive game between the two teams shortly!"

The second game between TES and FPX immediately sparked a lot of discussion on relevant social media platforms.

Many viewers and fans are excitedly discussing one thing.

It seems like Zhou Shen has really come back!

Of course, the haters will definitely be there at this time.

"I only won one game, and this is already a mess!"

"The game hasn't even been won yet, what are you bragging about! Show us your skills by beating FPX before you start bragging!"

"GimGoon got completely destroyed, can he beat TheShy?"

"."

Actually, haters aren't the ones who cause the most trouble; trolls are!
The LPL's rather unprofessional, makeshift environment has fostered many "high-level" amateurs.

These conspiracies have also "gained benefits" from the LPL, making the LPL environment even more chaotic.

They complemented each other perfectly!

Break time between games.

The FPX lounge backstage at the competition venue.

After a heated discussion among FPX's coaches and players, everyone's attention turned to top laner GimGoon.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, GimGoon leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and said:

"Don't count on me to carry, I really can't beat Zhou Shen!"

Upon hearing this, head coach Zhanma immediately said, "I didn't ask you to carry, but you can't let Zhou Shen destroy you, Doinb, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing the expectant look in Warhorse's eyes, Doinb said, "If GimGoon can't win in a solo lane, then play Mordekaiser!"

"They didn't play split pushing well. Next game, we can force them to team fight. During the team fight, Mordekaiser can just use his ultimate to shut down Zhou Shen. No matter how well he's farmed, it won't matter!"

Warhorse nodded repeatedly in agreement with Doinb's words.

"Alright, that's settled then, we'll do as Coin Bro says!" Warhorse stood up and clapped his hands. "Come on, brothers, let's do our best in the final round, we'll definitely win!"

"Alright, everyone, welcome back to the LPL regular season match!"

"What we're about to bring you is the decisive game of the BO3 series between TES and FPX in the regular season!"

Will FPX continue their winning streak, or will TES end FPX's undefeated record in the Summer Split?

"I'm really looking forward to the decisive game that's about to start!" Guan Zeyuan said loudly.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too!" Remember nodded. "And I think the key to the third game will probably be in the top lane!"

"Zhou Shen was in such good form in the last game. If FPX doesn't limit Zhou Shen in the decisive game, I think they are very likely to be defeated by Zhou Shen again!"

“Indeed, I feel the same way!” Guan Zeyuan nodded in agreement. “In that Fiora game just now, we saw the invincible Zhou Shen from S7 again!”

"I wonder how Zhou Shen will perform in the decisive game."

"Let's look at the draft picks and bans (BP) for the third game, which is the decisive game for both sides!"
