Chapter 378 Falcon Dance! One Force Breaks All Laws!

Soon, the lineups for both sides were officially finalized.

EDG (blue side) fielded Sion in the top lane, Xin Zhao in the jungle, Akali in the mid lane, and Ziggs and Leona in the bot lane.

The red team, WE, fielded Aatrox in the top lane, Gragas in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and Xayah and Rakan in the bot lane.

"WE's coaching staff has come up with a solution to counter Akali. We'll see how effective this lineup is in this match."

"If it works well, perhaps the other semi-final and the subsequent final will be studied."

Both sides quickly entered Summoner's Rift. Right at the start of the game, WE grouped up and rushed into EDG's lower jungle, choosing to aggressively invade the jungle. EDG really couldn't engage in a level 1 team fight.

Whether it's Leona or Bomber, their combat power at level 1 is limited, and Akali's combat power at level 1 is also quite average.

Xiao Tian was forced to leave his own lower half of the zone.

Wang Yao, however, felt something was off. "Are they really going to force Gao Tianliang to switch jungle areas with them? Could they have some other plans?"

"Attacking our bot lane?"

Meiko reacted quickly, "We couldn't get lane priority in the early game. Gragas quickly reached level 3, and then Galio pushed the lane like crazy in the mid lane. The mid and jungle came together to gank the bottom lane 4-on-2. It seems like we really can't handle it."

If Zhao Xin is driven to the top half of the map, it means that he won't be able to take care of the bottom half in the early game.

In the mid lane, Akali can't push the lane as well as Galio in the early game, so Galio will control the mid lane.

The main focus is still on the bottom lane.

With the Xayah and Rakan combo being strong at level 1, they can aggressively secure level 2 and farm the lane, then wait for the mid and jungle to gank and tower dive in a 4v2 situation.

If it really comes to that, no one can save EDG's bot lane.

After careful consideration, Wang Yao and Xiao Tian agreed with Meiko's idea. However... Xiao Tian soon had a new idea.

Take advantage of the situation!

Seeing that the jungle swap was successful, WE decided to proceed according to their plan.

The key to their 4-man gank 2 plan in the bottom lane is that Galio in the mid lane must secure lane priority and then go to the bottom lane to provide support.

Galio is a familiar champion to Xiye.

Last year, WE played the Jarvan IV + Galio combo with incredible skill, so you could say he's a veteran Galio player!
He executed Galio's various detailed maneuvers flawlessly, but his eagerness to push the lane inevitably gave Wang Yao opportunities to wear him down.

When you see Wang Yao consistently using Q at the perfect distance to harass, followed by a smooth backstep to chase and unleash a basic attack.

Xi Ye couldn't help but complain, "Wow, this guy's Akali gameplay is so smooth? I knew I shouldn't have let him play this champion. I had a feeling we were going to be in trouble this game."

Just as he was sighing, an uninvited guest had already arrived in the mid lane!
"Can Xiye sense it? Xiaotian is coming to mid lane to arrest him!" Miller shouted. "Wow... Xiaotian is so decisive, he's going in!!"

Galio is a melee champion, and Xiaotian just happened to catch Galio walking into the minion wave to clear the minions. At this moment, Galio was positioned very far forward, and Xin Zhao immediately used his E to stab forward!

It's worth mentioning that Xiaotian is equipped with [Phase Rush] in this game.

Unfortunately, Xin Zhao's control skill requires the third auto-attack after activating Q, but often he can't even get to the third auto-attack before the opponent creates distance.

Everyone knows that Conqueror increases damage, but for jungler Xin Zhao, that slight increase in damage is far less worthwhile than the consistent benefit of landing a knock-up.

It is thanks to Phase Rush that Xin Zhao can stay close to Galio.

Galio, who is currently only level 1, has neither W nor E, and therefore no crowd control abilities to trigger his Aftershock, making him particularly vulnerable.

Instead, Zhao Xin used Smite to quickly kill the ranged minions in the second wave, allowing Akali to reach level 2. The instant Zhao Xin knocked Galio up, Akali used her E [Falcon Dance] to attach to Galio, then used her second E to fly back, followed by a passive auto-attack and Ignite. Together, they reduced Galio's health significantly!

Xi Ye was in an awkward situation.

He didn't have a jungler to help him smite minions and level up to 2, so he could only use Flash to run away, but Akali also decisively followed with Flash, keeping the distance just as tight!

After using Q, a small step back can pass through the circle and trigger the passive effect, allowing you to quickly follow up with a basic attack!

In the current version, Akali's level 1 Q only costs 100 energy, so Wang Yao can deal the full damage of two Qs + E.

Galio's health bar instantly dropped to zero!!

"First blood obtained!"

Wawa praised, "Xiaotian's rhythm was perfect! Xiye was caught off guard. Just over two minutes into the game, EDG's mid and jungle delivered a perfect synergy!"

After securing the kill, Xin Zhao quickly helped Akali clear the mid-lane minion wave, and the two immediately went into the lower jungle to find Gragas!

Killing Galio was just one part of the plan. The other part was to drive Gragas out of the bottom half of the map to ensure the safety of their own bottom lane.

After all, it's hard to guarantee that WE won't force a 3-man gank on the 2!

Forcing a trade of life between Rakan and Techies, even if Leona gets a kill, Techies will still suffer a huge loss if he can't get the kills even with at least two waves of creeps.

Therefore, the barrels need to be completely driven out of the bottom half of the deck.

Seeing this, Gragas had no choice but to slink away from EDG's lower jungle after clearing the Krugs.

However, EDG did not come without paying the price.

Gragas cleared all three camps of jungle monsters in the bottom half of the map and reached level 3, but Xin Zhao has only cleared one red buff camp since the start of the game.

Although I gained experience from kills and some minion waves in the mid lane, I still suffered a slight loss overall.

He can't go to the top side of the jungle to farm right away; he has to wait in the bottom lane for a while.

Because a level difference has already been established in the bottom lane.

Xayah and Rakan's aggressive tower dives in 2v2 situations could potentially result in a trade for Ziggs, which slows down their jungle clearing progress.

It's like Xiaotian deliberately sacrificing his own rhythm to help his teammates make up for their early disadvantage.

However, his teammates did not disappoint them. In the bottom lane, Lin Weixiang steadily cleared the minion wave under the tower under his protection.

Xiao Tian then felt relieved and went to farm jungle camps in the upper half of the map.

"Xiaotian suffered a significant loss, but thankfully it was Zhao Xin, not a jungler like Nocturne who needs to reach level 6 quickly, otherwise it would have been an even bigger loss," Miller said casually.

"The main thing is to help Akali in the mid lane get first blood. Now we'll see how Kshine makes good use of her current advantage to expand her laning advantage."

"Then, just like before, I'll pass on my advantages to my teammates on the flanks!"

There are no sacrifices made without a reason on the field.

Making sacrifices inevitably brings benefits to teammates.

As the beneficiary of Xiaotian's sacrifice, Wang Yao has an obligation to create an advantage and carry the team.
