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

Chapter 553 Listen to the revelry in death! Full health turns into massive cripple!
No LCK viewer expected the slap in the face to come so quickly.

Before the match started, they still hoped that Tazan could turn the tide and win a game, regarding him as the key player to defeat EDG.

But before the game was over, Tazan, on whom they had placed high hopes, became the "loyal" second-class soldier of the opposing team, frantically serving the LPL region next door!

……

After Wang Yao's Karthus completely crushed Tazan's Graves, he naturally became even more unrestrained in and out of Graves' jungle.

Counter-gank, farm jungle camps, play however you want!
And Tazan's Graves becomes even less viable in the jungle.

The lower jungle has been completely overrun; we can only find scraps in the upper jungle.

Being down three levels in just ten minutes is quite an absurd thing for a jungler.

Especially since Tazan was playing a jungle carry Graves in this game!

As a carry jungler, Graves means he doesn't have any utility role and can't initiate team fights; his job is to deal damage.

As a result, his Graves is now at about the same level as a support.

But to be honest, his Graves didn't actually make any major mistakes in this game.

Whether it was the early-game rush to level 4 and jungle clear, or going to the mid lane to help Chaowei's Jayce expand his advantage and get kills, there was nothing wrong with it.

They even stopped farming in the jungle to help the bottom lane gank the enemy duo.

None of his choices were wrong in themselves, but the results he made were completely different from what he had in mind, and that was his biggest "mistake"!
E-sports, food is the original sin.

However, no one could have imagined that Wang Yao's Karthus could clear two jungle camps in 2 minutes and 40 seconds and complete the first gank in 3 minutes!

Karthus even reached level 6 at 4 minutes and 55 seconds, gaining access to his ultimate ability!
Now, with no other options, Tazan is trying to farm the mid or top lane minions to steal some of the gold and experience from Super Might and Swordmaster.

They call it "counter-ganking" or "pushing the lane".

It's worth noting that while it's not uncommon to see Graves solo-farming all four lanes in ranked games, it's truly rare to see a Graves who doesn't steal lane kills.

But playing like that in a match is just messing with your teammates' mentality.

In particular, Super Power and Sword Emperor had a very frustrating time playing.

At 3 minutes, Sword Emperor's Camille was caught out by Karthus at level 4, and then while playing, she was hit by Karthus' ultimate again.

Right now, the guy on the other side, Flandre, is practically dancing in his face.

Chaowei is in the same situation. Although he had a 2v2 fight in the mid lane and his Jayce got a kill, he was in a similar situation.

But he was playing Sion, a brainless, all-around champion.

Wearing cloth armor boots and my father's vest with small bracers, I can attack you however I want, I'll just push my lane!
Furthermore, Sion had an extra teleport compared to Jayce!
Right now, at most he's just taking advantage of Jayce's superior champion pool to rack up some ineffective damage.

And now, Tazan is actually claiming he's going to counter-gank in the mid lane.

But when he opened the match history panel, he found that Graves' development was three levels behind Karthus'!
What kind of reverse squat is that?

The enemy Karthus has almost 120 CS in ten minutes, and you only have 70.

At this moment, Chaowei's "Dao Heart" became unstable.

If it's a Graves with a huge advantage who comes to steal his minion wave, then so be it; in order to win the game, he can swallow his anger.

But now Graves isn't farming jungle camps or ganking side lanes; he's just killing time and waiting for the game to end!
"Stop trying to steal my minions, I'm under a lot of pressure this game too."

Chaowei didn't mince words with Tazan and laid his cards on the table.

"Uh! Well... okay then!"

Since his teammates had made it clear, Tazan naturally couldn't go and farm Chaowei's minions anymore.

However, Tazan also has his own difficulties. It's not that he doesn't want to farm in the jungle, but that there are really no jungle camps for him to farm now.

As Karthus' jungle clearing speed increases, his control over the jungle also increases.

Wherever you go, you'll see it!

The average time for each group of jungle monsters to clear is no more than three seconds.

This allowed Karthus to perfectly form a "square" jungle formation, almost always arriving at the monster respawn point precisely on time.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao's Karthus equipment was expanding at a visible rate.

When I got home in a little over four minutes, all I had was a useless big stick, a ring, and straw sandals.

However, when I returned home again, I immediately crafted the two smaller components of the Runic Echoes jungle item.

Now, ten minutes in, Karthus has officially completed his Runic Echoes jungle item and Sorcerer's Shoes.

The speed at which they equip themselves is simply outrageous.

A single-target Q skill can instantly reduce Graves' health by one-third.

With such a significant advantage, Karthus not only clears jungle camps faster, but also gains a stronger ganking ability.

The game lasted 11 minutes.

Wang Yao's Karthus, along with Scout's Sion, once again arrived in the bottom lane.

At this moment, the bot lane duo had only reached level 6, and look at Karthus's level.

Level 11!
That's right, it's level 11!
With his ultimate ability at level two, Karthus was a full 5 levels ahead of the bot lane!
What a concept!
Soon, everyone in GRF realized just how deadly this terrifying upgrade gap was.

"Go for it!"

"Quick victory!"

"I need to go farm the jungle!"

After Wang Yao pinged a signal to the enemy's bottom lane, he decisively said...

"it is good!"

The next moment, Scout's veteran Sion drove off, crashing headlong into the enemy's bottom lane turret.

His role is to tank tower damage; he doesn't need to do any other damage output.

Then, Wang Yao's Death Song began to play his ultimate move, Requiem.

Moreover, the top laner's Gangplank also unleashed his ultimate ability at the right time.

Side-rotate firing!
In an instant, countless shells covered GRF's bottom lane turret, cutting off the enemy's bottom lane duo's escape route.

Boom!
After a 3-second chant, Karthus' ultimate ability landed.

At level 11, Karthus' ultimate ability deals 350 base damage, plus a 0.75 AP scaling.

Let's take a look at Karthus's equipment: AP jungle item, a Needlessly Large Rod, several stacks of Ring, and about ten stacks of Dark Harvest.

In addition, there's the critical strike and other buffs.

With such a stack of magic power, the bottom lane duo, who were almost at full health, instantly became less than half health.

Karthus then used his QWE skills on the two trembling players under the turret.

At this point, iboy's Xayah had a very comfortable output environment.

There's a tanky Sion tanking the tower, and a Captain using his ultimate to cut off the enemy's retreat and deal damage.

Crucially, there's also a Karthus providing explosive damage, dealing 70% of the damage by himself.

All that's left is for him to collect kills, especially since he has a cat attached to him.

He casually executed a few basic attacks with QWAAA, then retracted his feathers.

Boom!
All dead!
"Xia has killed Kai'Sa, the Daughter of the Void!"

"Kal'thus the Deathsinger has killed Nautilus, the Titan of the Deep Sea."

A perfect kill distribution: Karthus got one, and the ADC got one.

GRF, on the other hand, did consider supporting the bot lane.

But EDG acted incredibly quickly and efficiently.

Even before Jayce's teleport landed in the mid lane, that huge ADC was gone!
But even if Super Might's Jess lands now, what difference will it make?

With a cat constantly healing him, and Sion and Xayah almost at full strength pushing the tower, would he dare to defend?
Meanwhile, Wang Yao's Karthus had already entered the jungle to continue his jungle farming journey.

As for the bottom lane tower plates, it's still four people sharing those two tower plates, which Wang Yao doesn't care about at all!
In that time, he could have already cleared two or three groups of jungle monsters in one area.

Moreover, since the mid laner Sion was helping the bot lane take down the tower, the mid lane was left empty.

As for Graves in Tazan, he doesn't even seem to understand how to shop properly.

The previous experience of being level 6 in the bot lane against level 3 seemed to have left a psychological scar on him, as he never came to the bot lane again after that.

The bot lane duo has been tower-dived in a second, and he's still wandering around in the jungle.

Now, the development gap between a scavenging Graves who picks up scraps everywhere and Wang Yao's Karthus will only widen.

The two sides are about to reach a 40-dollar difference!
As Wang Yao's Karthus gear became more and more luxurious, he had three pieces in less than twenty minutes.

The speed at which they clear jungle camps is beyond fast.

Tazan's Graves is essentially wandering around the jungle, just like Wang Yao's Karthus is.

There's no need to stop; whether it's the Three Wolves Toad, the Six Birds, or the Stone Beetle, it's just two sets of red and blue buffs.

Even under the damage of the explosion, Wang Yao's Karthus didn't need to stop.

Wherever I go, I'll be there with Q!

Furthermore, Karthus successfully controlled all the neutral resources, managing to farm jungle camps, control resources, and kill enemies all at the same time!

The Rift Herald destroyed the mid-lane tower, denying the opposing mid-laner's star player, Jayce, a chance to unleash his power.

This also freed up Sion in the mid lane.

A mid-lane Sion is a resource-intensive pick, top lane is Gangplank, bot lane is Xayah, and jungle is Karthus – all are resource-intensive picks.

If the mid laner picks another carry to farm resources.

There aren't that many resources on the entire map; you can't possibly eat that many even if you eat all the wild animals!
Therefore, we must give the mid laner a tanky, easy-to-play hero.

It's been almost twenty minutes into the game, and Sion is still lingering in the mid lane, feeding resources. He's acting a bit like a "team bully."

Soon after Wang Yao moved to the side lane, Sion became the team's underling, with Karthus always following him wherever he went.

They call it "reverse squat"!
On the surface, EDG's kill lead isn't significant, and GRF doesn't seem to be in a completely unplayable situation.

However, EDG's economic lead has reached 6,000, of which 4,000 is due to Wang Yao's Karthus's individual lead.

This is already a slow death!

It can only be said that GRF isn't the kind of team that likes to throw games, otherwise the gap would probably be even bigger now.

The game has been going on for twenty minutes. The third dragon has spawned; it's a wind dragon.

EDG had previously accumulated an Earth Dragon and a Wind Dragon.

Although the benefits of the Wind Dragon were not significant, it greatly improved Wang Yao's Karthus.

With the increased movement speed, Karthus's control over the jungle will only become stronger!
"We need to engage in this team fight. If the enemy team gets another Wind Dragon, I'm really done for!"

Tazan said, quite annoyed.

Karthus with a Wind Dragon now has an incredibly high map traversal ability.

His Graves often finds that only one of the six raptors and one of the three wolves remains when he enters the jungle!
If Karthus were to further enhance his map-running ability, perhaps even the little birds and wolves would be wiped out.

Because back then, Karthus was truly capable of clearing jungle camps in a quadrilateral pattern.

It only takes 10 seconds to run from one jungle area to another.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, EDG's jungler still has an unparalleled skill in "farming" (farming enemy junglers), endlessly turning his jungle into a breeding ground!
"Our ADC and support in the bot lane are both level 10, but your Graves is only level 10, while the enemy Karthus is already level 14. Are we really going to fight this wave?"

"Your Smite damage is far inferior to Karthus's; even if you wanted to steal the dragon, you wouldn't be able to."

Viper, who had already lost his temper, gave a "friendly" reminder within the team, practically stating outright that Tazan was a "noob".

Tazan, whose head was already spinning from the beating, was shocked to see that as a jungler playing Graves, his level was even lower than that of the ADC who had been targeted and tower-dived several times.

He also felt quite ashamed.

"Let's fight! There's no point in dragging this out any longer! Let's just burst down Karthus. All of the enemy's gold is tied up in Karthus. If we can take him down, we might win the team fight!"

"If we wait for the captain and Kasumi to get their gear ready, we really won't be able to win!"

At this point, Chaowei, the team's key mid-laner, also supported Tazan's idea.

However, at this moment, EDG naturally hoped that GRF would take over this dragon fight.

Wang Yao's Karthus got three pieces of gear in just twenty minutes, not even counting the upgraded Mejai's Soulstealer on Karthus.

If you include Mejai's Soulstealer, Karthus already has a four-item set.

Once Karthus unleashes his ultimate, Requiem, it's hard to imagine how GRF will survive in team fights.

A bunch of squishy champions like Xayah, Jayce, Graves, and Camille—none of them can truly tank.

If Karthus played even more aggressively, he could even charge straight into the midst of GRF's five-man team and unleash his own devastating damage.

Anyway, if Karthus dies in a suicide build, he's dead; he's not afraid of dying suddenly.

Moreover, there's a cat protecting Karthus.

EDG's five players were the first to gather at the dragon pit. Since EDG was on the red side, they had the advantage in taking down the dragon.

Meiko's cat is almost like a free-roaming cat; it can get off the bus and roam freely at will!
After EDG secured vision around the dragon pit, GRF's five players slowly made their way to the area around the dragon pit.

With a disadvantage in vision, economy, and terrain around the dragon, GRF had no idea how to win this team fight.

But they still had no choice but to take on this group.

"I'll go in first! Otherwise I won't be able to withstand the Karthus's poke damage, and this Yuumi is too annoying!"

In this EDG play, Sion was positioned at the front, while Gangplank, Xayah, and Karthus behind him dealt damage without pressure.

But the most annoying thing is Meiko's cat.

Never underestimate the harm a cat can cause, especially a cat that has developed very smoothly.

One after another, missiles were launched.

While launching, it chirped.

Who can withstand this? !

Sword Emperor's Camille was really frustrated by EDG's poke.

"Okay! You go in and start the group, I'll join you right away!"

The support Titan also spoke decisively.

next moment.

Sword Emperor's Camille used E-Flash to kick in, ignoring everyone else and just killing Karthus.

However, Meiko's cat seemed to be on the same wavelength, and immediately hung on Karthus's body first.

Before the Sword Emperor's Azure Steel Shadow descended, weakness had already taken hold of him.

At the same time, he activated his ultimate move, the final chapter of the Demonic Codex.

Yuumi channels for 3.5 seconds, unleashing 7 waves that deal magic damage. Any enemy hit by three waves will be stunned for 1.75 seconds.

This abruptly halted the offensive of the other four GRF members, who were aiming to follow up with damage and eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop.

You either have to dodge the cat's ultimate move, "Grimoire of the End," or you'll just get stuck and controlled by it.

Meanwhile, they saw GRF (Griffin Rush) on the opposing team start attacking their own team's main carry.

The rest of EDG couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to confront GRF head-on!

Karthus, who was trapped by Camille's ultimate, remained completely calm.

Only Camille cut in alone, while Karthus had a cat clinging to him.

What's there to be afraid of!

Press QWE simultaneously.

A W skill, Wall of Pain, was placed in front of the other four members of GRF, continuing to block their advance.

Then QE focused on dealing damage to Camille in front of him!

The damage output of Karthus with the three-item set is too explosive. Although Sword Emperor's Camille has managed to build Trinity Force, her 1v1 ability is explosive.

But he had no magic resistance, only a symbolic pair of Mercury Shoes!
This magic resistance was almost completely reduced by Karthus's magic penetration boots and Void Staff.

Boom boom boom!
Connect several single-target burst damage dealers, plus other miscellaneous damage outputs from others.

Camille's second Q had barely been executed when Flandre's Gangplank hit her with a Q and knocked her to death.

"Gangster, the Scourge of the Sea, has killed Camille, the Steel Shadow!"

The little damage that Sword Emperor's Camille dealt to Karthus was quickly recovered thanks to Yuumi's healing.

At that moment, the rest of GRF had just broken free from the skill entanglement of EDG.

It's Yuumi's ultimate again, Gangplank's ultimate again, Karthus's W skill again, and Sion blocking the way again.

Just when GRF was determined to fight to the death...

"Listen to the revelry in death!"

At this moment, Wang Yao's Karthus had reached a safe position and activated his ultimate skill.

GRF's desperate attack suddenly turned into a chaotic defeat!
How to play this? !

The top lane Camille died, and they couldn't even touch Karthus.

The support Titan wanted to follow Camille in to control Karthus, but was hit by so many skills and was relentlessly attacked by iboy's Xayah, leaving him with the will but not the strength.

Jayce, Graves, and Xayah, the three mid, jungle, and bot laners of GRF Griffin, were stuck and could only observe from a distance.

As for letting Viper's Kai'Sa fly in...

How much damage can a Kai'Sa with only one and a half items deal when she flies into the backline?!

……

As Karthus' ultimate ability, Requiem, ended, the previously crowded and noisy area around the Dragon Pit instantly fell silent.

Those GRF members who were still alive instantly had most of their health reduced.

The most tragic one is Viper's Kasumi.

Xayah, who was almost at full health, was observing from the back, looking for an opportunity to enter the fray.

But after taking a hit from Karthus' ultimate, bright red numbers appeared on his body.

1111!

His full-health Kai'Sa instantly became low on health!

Even if a skilled Jayce uses Flash, he will still die instantly.

Tazan's Graves was already struggling with his development, so he symbolically used a set of skills in front of Sion, and then immediately retreated.

Viper's Kai'Sa also survived, but she used both Flash, Heal, and Dawnbreaker combos.

EDG achieved a 3-for-0 exchange in this wave.

Big win!

Wang Yao's Karthus got a kill, Flandre's Gangplank got a kill, and iboy's ADC Xayah also got a kill.

A perfect headcount ratio.

But unbeknownst to him, Wang Yao's Death Song's Mejai's Soulstealer had gained another 8 stacks.

At this moment, Wang Yao's Karthus still had more than half of his health remaining, and the other members of EDG also had very good health.

EDG decisively secured the dragon and then immediately moved on to Baron.

EDG wanted to rush down Baron while GRF's three members were still dead.

"Wow! EDG got a 3-for-0 in this wave! That Karthus's damage is insane! I just can't believe it!"

Upon seeing EDG's victory in the team fight, Wawa exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, did you guys just see Viper's Kai'Sa? 1111! A full-health Kai'Sa, now almost dead!"

"I bet Viper will dream about Karthus singing him a requiem when he goes to sleep tonight!"

Miller smiled helplessly.

Remember, however, was focused on EDG's next move, and he excitedly said:
"Oh! EDG is going for both the dragon and the baron! With two wind dragons, EDG's push speed is incredibly fast!"

"What do you mean? Does Tazan have any other ideas?"

"Should we try to steal Baron Nashor and prove our loyalty to LCK?!"

With the situation looking very promising, even Doll Miller started joking about Tazan.

……
