LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 551 Jungle Clearing Speed ​​Race! Karthus Breaks Record with a Speed ​​of 4!
When the audience saw Wang Yao pick a super jungle carry hero, they felt that the choice was both outrageous and somewhat reasonable.

After all, EDG has been a team centered around Wang Yao since the S7 World Championship.

Last year's S8 mid-jungle system and this year's jungle carry system are basically all designed around Wang Yao's tactics and gameplay!

The Karthus system is also one of the ultimate weapons of the jungle carry system.

Since this game has already allowed Scout, the mid-laner known for his aggressive playstyle, to play a utility mid-laner like Sion.

Therefore, Wang Yao needs to choose a jungler like Karthus, who clears jungle camps extremely quickly, to carry the entire game as a jungle carry!

At his peak, Wang Yao's jungle clearing techniques and gameplay strategies for Karthus had naturally reached a state of perfection.

Immediately, I entered the game.

When it comes to Karthus' rune choices, the Domination tree's Dark Harvest is the obvious choice. Combined with his ultimate's area-of-effect attack, it's incredibly satisfying to finish off low-health enemies and stack up his runes.

It can also increase Karthus's late-game damage output.

Karthus' W skill can trigger the Malicious Injury effect, increasing subsequent damage.

The Eyeball Collector can increase Karthus's base stats.

Ultimate Hunter can reduce the cooldown of ultimate skills.

For a secondary tier of precision gear, composure is also a must-have.

Team fights involve coordinated kills that restore mana, and a fatal blow makes it easier to secure kills on low-health targets.

The starting gear naturally consists of a hunter's charm and reusable potions.

In this game, both sides adopted a much more cautious positioning for their first-tier teams, as a long, straight line was drawn along the river.

GRF had already lost the first game, and their lineup was weak in level 1 team fights, so they naturally couldn't pull off any big plays.

EDG's lineup doesn't have much crowd control, so there's no need to take unnecessary risks. The main thing is to protect Wang Yao and Karthus so they can farm the jungle in the early game.

As soon as the game started, Wang Yao's Karthus put on an incredibly flashy jungle clearing show.

With the system's support, Wang Yao's proficiency with Karthus was already at its maximum.

He knew everything about the base attack damage, ability power, and how much damage each Q skill would deal to jungle monsters.

Therefore, when Wang Yao was farming jungle monsters, he truly achieved the goal without any unnecessary actions.

In order to give Karthus an advantage in the jungle, the Xayah and Yuumi bot lane duo, who could have positioned themselves earlier at level one to secure lane priority, were even used.

Instead of going to the bottom lane bushes to secure a position, he went to the blue buff to help Wang Yao's Karthus clear the jungle.

And it wasn't just a couple of random hits; it directly restored 400 HP to the blue buff before leaving.

This is extremely rare in professional matches, and even in high-level games.

This situation only occurs in some low-level games.

Because in high-level games, the skill level of junglers and their jungle-pulling techniques are on a completely different level.

Unless it's a special jungler, it usually won't cause too much damage.

But EDG did exactly that.

This is the "Emperor" position within the team!

However, the enemy jungler Tazan's Graves doesn't have that status within the team.

Since you're playing Graves, do you really need someone to help you clear the jungle?!
Can't you even jungle anymore?!

If all else fails, just give the red buff to the AD carry.

At this moment, Wang Yao's Karthus, like a harvester, began his fast level 4 jungle clearing strategy after starting with the blue buff.

The classic Karthus jungle clearing method of two Qs and one auto-attack involves almost simultaneously pulling jungle camps while making bizarre twisting and turning movements, maintaining a frequency of two Qs interspersed with one auto-attack.

When attacking the frog, immediately use Smite, then keep attacking and pulling it back until it's almost at its limit, then finish it off with a Q skill.

But soon after, his Q skill was able to hit the three wolves.

The smoothness of the movement is like a flowing Chinese ink landscape painting.

2 minutes 05 seconds.

Karthus has pulled the three wolves to the center between the first and second towers, which is the maximum position the three wolves can reach.

Then, with a Q skill, he takes down the three wolves, and if Karthus takes another step forward, he will be able to reach the F6.

Moreover, Wang Yao used a small detail here.

When clearing camps like the three wolves or the F6 camp with multiple monsters, I never use my Q skill randomly.

Instead, they target the largest monster, avoiding affecting the smaller monsters.

This is because Karthus's Q ability, Desolation, deals double damage if only one enemy is hit.

This will maximize the damage of the skill!

Although it's just a small detail, it saves at least one to two seconds for each group of monsters.

2 minutes 16 seconds.

Karthus has taken the biggest bird from F6, and at the same time attracted the aggro of the red buff.

When he reached level four after defeating the last Krug in the top lane, the time was 2 minutes and 40 seconds!
Incredibly, Wang Yao broke Karthus's jungle clearing record again in the match.

It's worth noting that the fastest Karthus jungler to reach level 4 is 2 minutes and 44 seconds, and the person who set this record is the top Karthus player in the Korean server.

This record was already considered difficult to break.

Even the most skilled Karthus player, after countless attempts, only managed a fastest time of two minutes and forty-four seconds.

Wang Yao actually broke the record by almost four seconds!

Karthus' jungle clearing speed is already extremely fast, and at this point, both bot lanes were only level two.

And it may be a long time before we reach level three.

The river crabs didn't refresh at all.

"Wow! I'm not seeing things, am I? It's only 2 minutes and 40 seconds! Kshine's Karthus has already cleared all six camps of jungle monsters in both jungle areas?!"

At the beginning, the three commentators chatted idly.

But out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed that Wang Yao's Karthus had finished clearing his own jungle and reached level four.

The director seemed to have heard something extraordinary and immediately locked the camera on Karthus.

"Yeah! We didn't even notice at first, what kind of jungle clearing speed is this! What's Karthus' fastest jungle clearing speed again? This definitely breaks the record!"

Miller only realized the problem after hearing the doll's exclamation.

"That's too fast! Tazan's Graves is still level 3, and they've only just started the three wolves fight."

"As for the others, the top laner is only level two, the mid laner is only level two, and the bot laner is even lower at level two, but Kshine's Karthus is already level four!"

I remember finding it unbelievable.

"So now that even the river crab hasn't spawned, Kshine's Karthus can do whatever he wants!"

"You can gank top lane, you can gank mid lane, and you can even invade Graves' jungle!"

……

At this moment, Wang Yao was pulling jungle monsters while moving around. He was about to reach the top lane tri-bush and used his Q skill to finish off the giant rock golem.

Wang Yao's Karthus has plenty of time to choose what to do next.

You can go directly to the enemy jungle to fight Graves.

If Graves is on a fast level 4 jungle path, he's probably only level 3 right now, while Wang Yao's Karthus is already level 4.

If you catch Graves, you'll at least force him to use Flash and steal jungle monsters, preventing him from reaching level four. Then, the Rift Scuttler will be his too, which is incredibly profitable.

However, Wang Yao did not do that!

Because Karthus was clearing the jungle too fast, his second Smite hadn't even finished refreshing.

Without Smite, Karthus enters Graves' jungle, and Wang Yao can't guarantee he'll steal the jungle monsters 100% of the time.

Moreover, if Tazan's Graves pulls off a "miracle move," his Graves doesn't rush to level 4 and start farming.

In that case, Karthus wasted time and squandered his early-game advantage of reaching level four.

In that case, the best approach is to gank.

Since the river crab hasn't spawned yet, and he's already reached the tri-bush area, ganking the top lane is a piece of cake.

now.

GRF's team members were also communicating rapidly.

"Cheng Yong (Tazan)! I feel like the enemy Karthus is also rushing to level 4 and starting his jungle!"

"They've probably farmed up to the upper jungle by now, maybe they're camping me. I'll come and camp there later!"

Sword Emperor said to Tazan with a hint of guilt.

But Tazan nonchalantly replied:
"No, I don't think the enemy Karthus will necessarily start with blue buff. He might even start with red buff and then farm all the way to the bottom jungle."

"Our top laner and jungler are Graves and Camille, while the enemy top laner and jungler are Gangplank and Karthus. They definitely can't win the river crab!"

"If the enemy Karthus and Gangplank try to steal the Rift Scuttler, we'll just go for it!"

"Okay, but I feel like this captain is playing so timidly, like he's playing really cowardly! Could it be that Karthus really started with red buff in the top lane and farmed all the way down?"

Sword Emperor also keenly observed the captain's movements.

The next moment, Sword Emperor, though he was very honest with his words, was not so honest with his actions.

Camille, who was only level 2, kicked out and hit the captain precisely.

Then he delivered a double-bang, reducing the captain's health by a third.

"Sword Emperor's Camille is playing very aggressively, but playing aggressively isn't necessarily a good thing."

When the doll saw the Steel Shadow kicking up, she wasn't worried at all; in fact, she almost laughed.

"Yeah, a level 4 Karthus with red and blue buffs is holding vision at the very entrance to the river in the upper jungle!"

"That's it, this Steel Shadow can't escape now, she has a two-level advantage."

"Plus, Karthus's Q deals extremely high damage in the early game. As long as his W isn't used too recklessly, and the enemy Camille has already used her E, there's simply no way she'll survive!"

"Haha, even if Sword Emperor never dreamed, a Karthus would reach level four in less than three minutes and then gank him! He didn't even have time to ward the top lane river!"...

At this moment, Flandre was overjoyed to see Camille lift up, which meant he didn't even need to go up and seduce her.

Even though the captain was down to half health, he didn't hesitate. He immediately used a Corruption Potion, grabbed his Fire Blade, and charged forward to auto-attack.

Wang Yao's Karthus also circled around from the side.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this? Karthus?! How did he even reach level four?!"

When Sword Emperor first saw the captain with half health remaining, and that they started fighting without even setting up their barrels, he was a little puzzled.

But when a level 4 Karthus suddenly appeared, the Griffin players were immediately startled!
"How did Karthus reach level four already?!"

The Tazan players were also stunned. Although Karthus is a champion who clears jungle camps very quickly, it hadn't even been three minutes yet.

In a competitive match, are there really players who can clear jungle camps that fast?!

And he just boasted that this Karthus top laner started with red buff and farmed all the way down.

But the next moment, a Karthus with red and blue buffs appeared in the top lane.

That was a slap in the face for him!

At this moment, Sword Emperor panicked completely. Tazan's Graves was still at the blue buff. Although he wasn't far from the top lane, he definitely wouldn't make it in time.

He'll have to rely on himself for this!

Even as Karthus got close, Sword Master remained focused, his adrenaline surging, his eyes fixed on Karthus's body, while Camille began to dart left and right like a snake.

After all, Karthus's Q skill has a 0.5-second delay, which gives him a chance to reposition.

I twist to the left, I twist to the right!
next moment.

Karthus's Q skill, Desolation, is being cast.

At that very moment, the Sword Emperor frantically began to move at right angles.

But the next second!
Boom!
Karthus seemed to have anticipated Camille's movements and hit her precisely.

Since it only hit Camille, the Q skill Desolation dealt double damage.

At the same time, a normal attack followed, and the next second Camille's movements became even slower.

Karthus's red buff slowed him down!
"Axi!"

Sword Emperor was torn; should he use his Flash ability or not?
Not handing it over seems like a certain death situation.

Even if you pay, you might not be able to leave.

At that moment, for the first time, he felt that the lane was so long!

It seemed to be a road he could never finish walking.

Finally, the Sword Emperor gritted his teeth and made a firm decision!
交！
Sword Emperor activated his Flash, creating a small distance between himself and the enemy.

But then, a barrier blocked the path of the Blue Steel Shadow's return.

This is Karthus's W ability, Wall of Pain, which creates a wall of pain at the target location that lasts for 5 seconds.

Heroes who pass through the wall will not only have their magic resistance reduced by 15%, but will also suffer a 40% decaying slow for 5 seconds.

Keep in mind that Flash's range is only 550 yards, while Karthus' W skill, Wall of Pain, has a casting range of 1000 yards!
With her speed drastically reduced, Camille can no longer move even if she wants to.

Q is barren.

in!
Q again.

Hit again!

……

In Wang Yao's eyes, Camille's movement seemed like clumsy wriggling; no matter how she moved, Karthus's Q skill always hit her like a shadow.

How long can a level 2 Camille last?

Karthus raised his hand again!

Boom!
Another hit on the low-health Camille!

"Karczas the Deathsinger has killed Camille, the Steel Shadow!"

"Firstblood!"

The rousing voices echoed throughout the entire competition venue.

"My God! Karthus got First Blood! In just three minutes, Kshine's Karthus not only reached level four but also got First Blood! What a dream start!"

I remember feeling my heart suddenly pound.

"This is an incredibly fed start! Karthus is a very useful champion for getting kills!"

"Yes, this hero's ultimate ability is devastating in the late game!"

……

And at this moment, on the field...

Wang Yao's precise Q skills secured the kill on Camille, while Flandre's Gangplank also managed to get an assist.

"Jungler, this wave of minions..."

Saint Gun was about to make a "trivial" request to the jungler: don't push this wave of minions.

Currently, both sides' minion waves are positioned slightly towards the red side from the center line, a very comfortable position for the captain.

He can farm and develop perfectly without worrying about being ganked or tower dived.

"I understand! I'll help you push this wave of minions!"

The next moment, a heartbreaking voice came from behind him.

At the same time, Karthus activated his E skill and stood in the middle of the minions.

The Q skill was being fired repeatedly.

Saint Gun Guy froze on the spot!

However, Wang Yao still had some integrity. Although he helped Saint Gun's Captain push the minion wave and share experience, he did not steal the Captain's minions.

The captain still got to eat the money.

It's just that the differential has been reduced by a tiny bit of experience.

The moment Karthus secured First Blood, the LPL livestream went wild.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Wang Defa!"

"Holy crap! Yao-ge's got something new up his sleeve again!"

"Wow... I really didn't expect this Karthus jungle pick. I also didn't expect him to clear two jungle camps in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. And I certainly didn't expect him to get a kill at 3 minutes!"

"Holy crap, isn't Graves a bit of a counter to Karthus? How did Yao manage to pick a counter hero in the counter position and still crush the counter hero?"

"..."

When Wang Yao made his next move, Wawa stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

"Wow, Kshine's Karthus is really stirring things up!"

"He's not just ganking the opponents, he's ganking his own teammates!"

"Hahaha, Sparrow Eater, we see here that with Karthus's 'cooperation,' Flandre's Gangplank 'willingly' pushed the top lane minion wave over."

"Yao played Qiyana in the last game. He was very aggressive in the early and mid-game, constantly invading the enemy jungle and putting a lot of pressure on the enemy mid and jungle!"

"But in this game, they suddenly changed their style, and the change was very thorough. They suddenly picked Karthus."

"Karthus is a completely different champion from Qiyana. Judging from these three minutes, Kshine's Karthus performance was perfect!"

"From farming jungle monsters to killing enemies, and then from killing enemies to gaining experience, it's all done in one smooth motion!"

Miller clicked his tongue.

"By the way, has Yao actually played Karthus?!"

I remember thinking of something interesting.

"Haha, I don't think so. They might not even have looked at the skill list yet."

Of course, despite saying that, the commentators on stage still believed that Wang Yao must have practiced Karthus a lot in private.

Otherwise, how could he possibly have such a high level of proficiency?

Just as the commentators were expressing their feelings, the director thoughtfully turned the camera to GRF.

All that can be seen in the picture is...

The entire GRF team looked somber, and everyone remained silent.

"In any case, I hope they can perform to their full potential in this match!"

The doll nodded.

The camera then switched to EDG's side.

All the other members of EDG were chatting and laughing.

At the same time, the camera zoomed in on Wang Yao and gave him a close-up shot.

However, Wang Yao maintained a cold and stern expression, his demeanor unchanged, and stared intently at the camera.

"Brother Yao's demeanor is as steady as ever, definitely the boss's aura."

"Man! What else can I say? The triple crown is won!"

"Haha, this round is definitely in the bag, 2-0, let's keep beating the big turtle in the next round."

"That's how it is for junglers. Players in other lanes only need to focus on their laning phase, but junglers are much busier: farming, ganking, counter-jungling..."

"This game is going to be perfect, Yao is definitely going to make another memorable moment!"
