Chapter 152 From the Same Master! A Battle of Life and Death!
Scout immediately seized the opportunity and used Flash, narrowly avoiding Gragas's E-Flash charge.

Although he failed to gank successfully, Blank was not discouraged. Trading the jungler's Flash for the enemy mid laner's Flash was definitely a worthwhile trade.

"well done."

Faker breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He still has Flash available, and Syndra would find it extremely difficult to solo kill him without Flash.

Blank seized this opportunity exceptionally well.

But the good fortune didn't last long, as Huni unexpectedly gave up his first blood on the top lane.

Just now, the factory manager took advantage of the gap in vision on SKT's top lane to launch a flanking gank.

His Ivern timed it perfectly, using Mouse Gnar's Q ability, Deep Roots, from the shadows in the final moments before he shrunk, successfully hitting Huni's troll.

Immediately afterwards, Mouse used the passive effect of Ivern's Q skill to instantly teleport to the Trundle's face, raised his hand to use the W skill to stun him, and then transformed into a mini-Gnar and chased after the Trundle, attacking him relentlessly.

After the factory manager gave Gnar the shield from his E skill [Planting Beans and Reaping Melons], he then used his W skill [Pulling Up Seedlings and Assisting] to summon a patch of grass in front of him.

Ivern, originally a short-range melee hero, instantly became a long-range hero, and his two long-ranged arms unleashed a barrage of attacks on Troll Warlord.

Although Huni used Flash in time, he was caught by Gnar and Flash, and Ivern's E skill shield detonated, slowing down Trundle again. In the end, Huni was ganged up on and killed by EDG's top and jungle duo.

First blood of the game, suddenly erupting!
The bounty for Huni's kill was collected by Mouse's Gnar.

The bad news from the top lane made Faker frown. He reminded Huni to be careful in the laning phase and then continued to control Karma to push the lane aggressively in the mid lane.

The lane control advantage in the mid lane is crucial for SKT to gain momentum in the early game, and Faker must quickly free himself up to roam to the side lanes.

Blank's Gragas, on the other hand, roamed around the bottom lane the entire time.

Even though he knew EDG had vision in the bottom lane, Blank still chose to expose his position to put pressure on EDG's bot lane and allow Tristana to smoothly get through the development period.

But this would allow Scout in the mid lane to attack Faker without restraint!
After a round of intense fighting and attrition, Faker's Karma's health was reduced to a relatively low level by Syndra.

Syndra used this wave of attrition to allow the blue team's next wave of minions to push forward.

This made Faker very uncomfortable. He knew that Scout was trying to pin him down in the mid lane, which was why Scout kept trying to trade blows with him.

Scout capitalized on Faker's eagerness to roam and make plays, which is why he repeatedly crossed the minion wave to relentlessly pressure Karma's health.

This relentless, unforgiving style of play greatly annoyed Faker, but he couldn't find any other way to deal with it.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Scout, seeing Faker lingering not far away, suddenly felt a murderous intent towards his senior.

"Hey, can you keep an eye on the location of the wine barrels for me?"

After hearing Scout's words, Meiko in the bottom lane immediately responded and then controlled the robot to walk towards the jungle.

Wang Yao immediately abandoned his online dominance and retreated, determined not to give SKT's bot lane any chance whatsoever.

In the mid lane, Scout used his W to grab a minion and then pressed towards Faker once again.

Scout's Syndra was immediately drawn to the surrounding minions by a basic attack, and the red team's minion wave began to focus fire on her.

Faker used his E skill to negate the damage from the basic attack, then used the speed boost from E to retreat. As his fellow student, Faker naturally sensed that his junior had decided to kill him.

However, as the greatest mid-laner in the history of the league, Faker did not lose his composure when faced with this situation.

Even though Scout is in much better shape than him right now, it can't shake his fighting spirit in the slightest.

Their life-or-death struggle has begun!
As Karma retreated, Scout raised his hand and used his second W, throwing out the minion he had grabbed and slamming it into Karma.

The minions exploded on Faker's Karma, dealing damage and slowing her down.

At this moment, Faker had arrived in front of the turret, but instead of continuing to walk down the turret, he turned around and walked towards the side jungle, trying to dodge Syndra's Q skill.

But Scout was filled with killing intent. He raised his hand to unleash another basic attack while retreating, using the pre-attack animation to cover up the casting animation of his Q skill.

This is a very useful little detail for Syndra in trades and attrition.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Syndra only performed a basic attack, but her Q skill was inexplicably released.

Karma, hit by that Q spell, lost even more health.

Just when the audience thought Scout would give up, Syndra made a fake turn around and then suddenly turned back.

Scout once again controlled Syndra to auto-attack Faker, and took advantage of the pre-Q animation of Karma to decisively use his E skill, Weaknesses Scatter!
Faced with this sudden retreat of the weak, Faker, despite consciously turning around to try to dodge, was still hit by the magic orb right in front of him and slammed against the wall in a daze.

The audience began to cheer.

Judging from Faker's Karma's health, Scout is very likely to get a solo kill in his lane!

Syndra's Q skill was still on cooldown, so when facing Karma who was almost at the bottom of health, Syndra could only use basic attacks to suppress the opponent's health first.

At this moment, Faker had already used up all his consumable bottles. Syndra's auto-attack brought his Karma down to only 30 health, and Karma was just one step away from death.

Fortunately, Faker had regained his mobility. As he controlled Karma to use his ultimate (R) skill, his W chain bound Scout's Syndra.

Karma's RW combo!

Even though it's only level 1 W, Karma's health is still recovering quite a bit.

This is the charm of an old woman with a strong and resilient spirit.

More importantly, when Faker saw Scout retreating to break free of his W chains, he perfectly predicted Syndra's move to use her Q skill.

In an instant, Karma used Flash to close the distance between herself and Syndra, and avoided Syndra's fatal Q skill!
Syndra, who has been taking a lot of minion attacks, is now at a disadvantage in terms of health after the initial back-and-forth between the two in the mid lane.

In addition, Syndra has fallen slightly behind Karma in lane experience because she has been constantly attacking Karma.

This means that Karma is very likely to reach level 5 before Syndra!
"Faker's Karma is still going crazy, Scout looks like he's in a bit of danger this time!"

"Furthermore, after Faker used Flash to gain experience from the fallen minion, he had already reached level 5! The chains from his second W detonated, and both of them had very little health left, but Faker's Karma had the health advantage!"

"Faker cast his E skill shield on himself, attempting to negate the damage from Syndra's next Q skill. Let's see how Syndra handles it!"

"..."
