Chapter 546 Level 1 Solo Kill: The Most Brutal and Unsolvable Talent Gap!
Normally, Irelia shouldn't be able to follow up and last-hit minions at this point.

The crocodile's Q skill just now not only hit Irelia, but also hit three front-line minions on the red side TES.

This caused the crocodile's anger to rise slightly.

If Irelia comes up to last-hit minions and trades blows with Renekton, then Renekton's next Q skill will basically be a red-rage Q.

Since Irelia's passive stacks are not high enough, she will definitely lose the trade of blows with Renekton at this point.

Even if you manage to hit the crocodile with your E, you'll still lose in the trade if you get hit by the crocodile's empowered Q.

If you don't manage to hit the crocodile with your E, then you've basically lost a lot of money.

Therefore, the best thing Irelia can do at this moment is to retreat behind the Renekton after gaining a small advantage in health, and wait for the minion wave to come.

Anyway, the crocodile just used Q on the red side minion wave. If Zhou Dian doesn't move the minion wave, the top lane minion wave will definitely move towards TES.

Just wait.

But Zhou Dian refused!

If you choose to let the lane go at this point, then the top laner will have a stable early-game advantage.

Because Langx is really not bad. If the Renekton reaches level two first, then even if he is a top-ranked player, he won't be able to make a comeback in the early game against Renekton.

Then it will depend on the battle between the two junglers.

Zhou Dian, when playing games, has never liked to place his hopes on others.

He prefers to be in control.

If you don't bully crocodiles at level one, when will you?
We have to go all out against the crocodile!
Langx, all you know is to play Irelia and push the minion wave first, which everyone knows. Do you think you can beat me in the weekly rankings with just that trick?
Then you really underestimate me, Zhou Dian.

In fact, before the match, Langx had already placed great caution on Zhou Dian.

But seeing that the Irelia was still coming up to finish off the enemy, Langx couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Even if you're Zhou Shen, you can't just come up here and farm minions like this! Do you really think I, Langx, am one of those noob top laners from a bottom-tier team?" Langx sneered inwardly.

When Irelia got very close to Renekton and was about to land an auto-attack, Langx controlled Renekton to actively engage him.

The next moment, Irelia auto-attacked the crocodile.

In this head-to-head attack, Irelia will definitely land the first hit on Renekton.

After all, the advantage of a 100-yard basic attack range is undeniable.

But this time, after Irelia attacked Renekton once, Renekton immediately attacked Irelia in return.

This time, the crocodile charged directly at Irelia's face beforehand.

Even if Zhou Dian can kite well, with Irelia's level 1 attack speed, if Irelia attacks Renekton at this point, she definitely won't be able to escape Renekton's attack range.

This time, Zhou Dian had no intention of getting into a fight with the crocodile at all.

Irelia and Renekton started attacking each other right there on the spot.

Of course, both sides are professional players, so it's impossible for them to just stand still and fight.

The two players were simply moving around within that small area, using the A skill normally.

Irelia and Renekton exchanged auto-attacks several times in a row, and neither of them made the basic mistake of missing an auto-attack, and both managed to hit their opponent.

At this point, the crocodile's Q skill was almost ready again.

Langx had focused all his attention on Irelia, his eyes fixed on her.

He's just waiting for Irelia to use her E skill.

As long as Irelia raises her hand, Langx is confident that he can dodge Irelia's E skill by positioning himself.

Irelia's E skill is not a very difficult skill to dodge. The casting animation is quite obvious, and the release speed is not very fast.

The crocodile dodged Irelia's E skill, which is a huge loss for Irelia, as she was completely wiped out.

Even if she fails to dodge, Irelia will still be at a disadvantage, as Renekton will immediately have his empowered Q.

Even without her passive ability, Irelia can still tank the damage, and even though Renekton is only level 1, Irelia can't out-damage him.

Unless Irelia can quickly kill three minions with her Q and stack up her passive, Renekton really can't beat her and will be chased and auto-attacked all the way by Irelia.

However, Langx still thinks that judging from Irelia's actions when she was first released, she should have learned the E skill at level 1 in the weekly rankings.

Even if we take a step back and say that Irelia learns Q at level 1...

Right now, there's only one low-health minion in the blue team's front line that can be killed by Irelia's Q.

If you use Q on the crocodile after finishing, you'll only have two stacks of passive, which isn't enough to beat a crocodile that's about to get its red rage Q.

In a short period of time, Langx felt that he had considered all possible scenarios.

He doesn't think he'll lose out on this.

From the moment Irelia arrogantly and proactively approached Renekton, this week's top seed was destined to be a loss.

It's just a matter of whether it's a big loss or a huge loss.

However, a situation occurred on the field that Langx had never anticipated.

In fact, Zhou Dian's Irelia did not learn the E skill that most Irelia players would choose at that time.

Of course, I didn't learn any other skills either.

He hasn't allocated any skill points to this skill!

At this critical juncture, Zhou Dian has two choices.

One option is to add that skill point to W.

Then, if Irelia can use her W to block part of the damage from Renekton's empowered Q and hit Renekton, then the consequence of Irelia's initiative to move forward will only be a small loss.

It won't be the choice between a huge loss or a severe loss that Langx anticipated.

However, in this round of competition, Irelia might even have a chance to profit.

That was Zhou Dian's second choice.

Let's take a risky gamble and pull off a crazy move!
Langx felt he had considered all possible scenarios.

However, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Dian had already considered two more operational approaches than him.

This is the most brutal, yet most unsolvable, difference in innate ability!

Zhou Dian was constantly calculating the cooldown of the Renekton's Q skill. He estimated that the Renekton's Q skill would be ready in about a second, so he quickly added Irelia's skill points to the Q skill.

At this moment, on the large screen at the scene.

After the crocodile and Irelia had already exchanged several intense blows, the observers had already switched their focus to the top lane.

Both players had only about half their health remaining, with Irelia having slightly more than Renekton.

But as soon as the crocodile unleashes his empowered Q, the situation will instantly reverse.

At this moment, the Irelia auto-attacked the crocodile, and after that, she walked backward.

Previously, after Irelia finished her auto-attack, she would move horizontally left and right, but this time she moved backward. In Langx's eyes, the meaning was self-evident.

They chickened out and wanted to run away!

"It's too late to leave now!" Langx thought fiercely, and controlled the crocodile to attack the Irelia.

If you attack with this move, the crocodile's rage level will exceed fifty points, turning it into a red rage state.

Once the axe blade in the crocodile's hand falls on Irelia, and his rage meter jumps up, Langx will unleash his red-rage Q.

It doesn't even require Langx's brain to see the image before issuing commands.

Langx's finger was already on the Q key.

He's played the champion Renekton so many times that the perfect execution of his AQ combo has become muscle memory for him.

Relying on muscle memory, the crocodile could seamlessly follow up with his Q skill after landing an auto-attack on Irelia. However, just as the crocodile's axe was about to strike Irelia, she suddenly turned around.

It would be absolutely illogical for Irelia to turn around at this point.

Langx immediately sensed that something was wrong!

However, it takes time for the eyes to see, for the brain to process the information and think, and for the brain to transmit the results of those thoughts to the fingers.

Even if this time is very short.

It's too late!
Driven by the muscle memory of combos, Langx's fingers pressed the Q key.

At the same time, Dao Mei suddenly darted out.

It's Irelia's Q skill - Blade Impact!
The landing point was a small blue minion not far behind the crocodile, the only one with low enough health to be killed by Irelia's Q.

When Irelia was halfway there, Renekton's basic attack finally landed on her.

Even though Irelia was already out of Renekton's range at this point.

However, you can't dodge the basic attack.

But it's okay, you can't dodge the crocodile's basic attack, but you can dodge his Q skill.

Following the crocodile's basic attack, the crocodile suddenly swung its axe in a wide circle.

However, the rapid impact of Irelia's Q skill caused her to rush out of the large circle.

The crocodile's empowered Q didn't even hit Irelia!
"Wow, Crocodile Q is empty! This is terrible!" the doll exclaimed.

The audience erupted in uproar!
"How could Q be empty now!" Miller couldn't understand.

Besides the audience who were explaining, Langx, who was also involved, found it hard to understand.

He thought he had considered all possibilities, but he never imagined that "Irelia dodged Renekton's Q with her Q".

Because the Crocodile's Q skill is instantaneous, there's no time to dodge once you see it.

This means that Zhou Dian has completely calculated when his crocodile will use its Q skill.

But why should I?

Langx's mind is now filled with these three words—Why should I!
If you're talking about calculating exactly when Renekton's Q skill will be ready, down to the second, it's difficult, but not impossible, and it's still plausible.

Even if you calculate exactly when the Renekton's Q skill will be ready, this Irelia play still makes no sense!

The keyboard is in my own hands, and I can use Q whenever I want.

Who said I have to use my Q skill as soon as it's ready?

Why did Zhou Shen, playing Irelia, dare to suddenly use his Q at this moment?!
What if your crocodile doesn't unleash its red-rage Q?
If Irelia uses her Q behind Renekton or towards RNG, it's essentially giving away her Flash.

You could lose your life!

However, the fact is that Irelia's Blade Strike (Q) was a dodge against Renekton's Enraged Q.

So, what Irelia's seemingly feeding Q towards RNG actually blocked Renekton's escape route.

Now, the situation has reversed!
The crocodile is going to die!
At this moment, between the crocodile and the Irelia, there are two blue team front-line minions with low health.

Irelia killed a minion with her Q, then used her Q to hit the Renekton's back before auto-attacking the front-line minion.

At this moment, Langx, who had been momentarily stunned, also came to his senses.

I need to run for my life!
We can't run towards the tower; our escape route is blocked by Irelia.

We have to run towards the river!
Just as the crocodile turned to walk towards the river, the Irelia behind him had already used her Q to kill the minion that had just been auto-attacked.

Then, the crocodile was already within Irelia's normal attack range.

As I said before, Irelia's 225-yard basic attack range is indeed too long for a melee champion.

After Irelia can auto-attack a minion, and then kill that minion with her Q, she can actually auto-attack Renekton.

But in reality, it's only the distance of two Irelia basic attacks, yet it's 450 yards.

ADCs like Lucian, with their short range, only have a range of about 500 yards.

The next moment, Irelia didn't attack the crocodile.

Instead, he used AQ on another minion and instantly killed it.

Irelia's passive has reached level three.

The Irelia's two consecutive AQ attacks canceled each other's recovery animation, and she executed them incredibly fast.

In addition, Langx was a bit confused at first, so his reaction to escape was a little slow.

This resulted in the crocodile still being within Irelia's basic attack range.

The next moment, Irelia used AQ on Renekton.

At the same time, Irelia's passive stacks have also reached four.

With her passive fully stacked, Irelia's basic attack damage is already significantly increased.

Furthermore, it significantly increased Irelia's attack speed.

This resulted in the Irelia, who landed a Q on the crocodile's face, quickly landing another auto-attack on him.
This AQA landed on the crocodile. Although the red-rage Q didn't hit Irelia, it did hit the minion and healed the crocodile a lot, causing his health to drop sharply.

The crocodile had less than a third of its blood remaining.

Wolf quickly used his dodge ability.

If I don't dodge now, I'll get killed by Irelia's auto-attacks.

With her passive fully stacked and Conqueror fully stacked, Irelia's basic attack damage is terrifyingly high.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and the crocodile created distance between himself and the Irelia.

Zhou Dian waited a moment, and after the cooldown of the Irelia's basic attack was over, he followed up with Flash.

On the big screen, another yellow light flashed, and Irelia dove behind the crocodile.

Given the distance between Irelia and Renekton at this moment, and with Renekton focused on running forward, if Irelia didn't have her passive ability active, her attack speed would be too low to allow her to only auto-attack Renekton once.

But now that her passive is fully stacked, her attack speed has increased significantly. Combined with Irelia's 225-yard auto-attack range, she should be able to auto-attack Renekton one more time at the maximum range.

Just two basic attacks, enough to kill the crocodile.

If two hits don't kill it, the crocodile will survive!

Since the crocodile's initial movement speed is faster than Irelia's, if you can't auto-attack him, you won't be able to auto-attack him at all, and there's no point in chasing him.

Just these two moves!

With one hit, the crocodile's health dropped further, to less than one bar.

Then, just as the crocodile was about to leave Irelia's range, Irelia raised her blade and slashed out.

The crocodile's remaining health was completely depleted!
The damage was just right, with only a few points of damage overflow.

I almost failed to kill the crocodile.

First blood!

The game notification sound of "First Blood" echoed throughout the entire venue.

It also rang simultaneously in the headphones of all ten players on the field.

"Wow, the damage was just right, he's dead! Zhou Shen's Irelia has secured First Blood!" Wawa shouted. "The Renekton just missed his Enraged Q, that was fatal!"

"That was definitely a fatal missed Q from the crocodile, it cost him his life!" Miller added. "But if the crocodile had landed his Q on Irelia, then Zhou Shen's subsequent Q with Irelia would have been a suicide mission!"

"Indeed!" Wawa nodded. "But in the end, it was Irelia's Q that dodged Renekton's red-rage Q. In this game, Zhou Shen won!"

"I can only say that this is the charm of Zhou Shen. The crocodile was solo killed at level one like that. If I were Langx, I would be a little desperate. This feeling of powerlessness is too strong!" Miller said sincerely.
