LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 393 If there's no battlefield, create one yourself! He saw right through me?
"What kind of lineup is this?!" The commentator on the podium rubbed his eyes when he saw the last pick.

Miller, on the other hand, was all smiles: "ADC Jayce, even Deft's ADC Jayce, this is really like going back to EDG!"

Many longtime viewers from the competition area have also realized what's happening.

In EDG's history, there were the famous "TP Three Heroes" Zhao Chuanxiong, Tong Chuanta, and Jin Chuandeng. Among them, Jin Chuandeng, which belonged to Deft, was the famous scene that Deft played with {ADC Jayce}!

The live chat was flooded with comments like: "[Dead memories are attacking me like crazy!]"

Wawa continued reminiscing: "So, ADC Jayce isn't actually that rare in history. I remember KT was famous as the 'Jayce team' back then, because all five positions were played by them, including support Mata, who could play Jayce."

Miller then shifted his focus, saying, "I think this is quite similar to G2's five-warrior strategy. It seems that V5 has also gained some new insights from the scrims between the two teams!"

The director thoughtfully switched to a shot of the front row of the audience.

The five G2 players, all with expressions of pride and joy, stood up and lifted the crotch of their clothes—revealing that they were wearing V5 team jerseys!
But at the same time.

There was another team backstage whose reaction was different from the others; they seemed to have figured out something else.

"What's the deal with this bot lane duo? Are they looking down on the other side?" Oner's protein-filled head blinked with confusion.

"I mentioned weapon support before!" Keria jumped up excitedly. "I said back then that this hero is surprisingly effective against dual marksmen or certain AD carries. Who wouldn't let me play it back then?"

As Keira spoke, her voice suddenly grew softer and softer, and she secretly glanced at Lee Sang-hyeok beside her.

Lee Sang-hyeok was clearly deep in thought at the moment, not paying attention to his little K.

"Could it be that they're trying to burn the top lane champion?"

He shared his guess.

In fact, if we're talking about truly "abstract" support heroes, Keira and Beryl have both picked far more abstract ones in matches, so that's obviously not the key point.

There was only one reason why Lee Sang-hyeok didn't let the other party play.

In the global ban/pick version, every hero selection must take an extra layer of strategic consideration—and if the top lane hero is targeted, it's a pure nerf to their Tier 1 status!

T1's biggest weakness in losing to DRX in 22 was that top laner Zeus was crushed by Aatrox while playing Gwen, and then crushed by the enemy's Gwen and Camille while playing Aatrox again. At the time, he was confident in his Yone skills and didn't practice Aatrox much, which resulted in a weakness in his champion pool.

Therefore, Zeus learned its lesson this year.

Whether it was the Aatrox and Jax, which he had never liked before, or the meta of various tank champions in the top lane during the MSI patch in the middle of the year, he made sure that he could pick them and achieve the corresponding results.

This situation is clearly different in V5 as well.

Saint Gun is equally capable of winning anything and equally hardworking, but his playing style is characterized by a lack of aggression and insufficient individualism.

When playing champions like Renekton or Jax, it's true that you often can't achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, "burning heroes" is extremely cost-effective for V5 players!
Even though 'abstract heroes' inevitably have some flaws, as long as they can fit into the lineup, they have 'additional value' that can make up for it!
Moreover, weapon support can be surprisingly effective in certain team compositions.
"Judging from this match, it seems like neither side is planning to switch lanes?" Roaring Emperor analyzed with narrowed eyes.

"If neither of us switches lanes, that's our advantage! There's not much to say about the bot lane duo of warriors. As long as we push the lane and control it, we can prevent the enemy bot lane from making any moves and avoid jungle invasions!"

"V5, on the other hand, seems to be aiming for a level 1 intrusion."

The director's camera focused on the lower half of the river.

The five members of V5 were seen squatting in the grass in the riverbed, waiting for time to pass.

HLE was prepared, but to avoid revealing the "cable replacement situation," they did not insert the ward too deeply.

This is thanks to the experience from yesterday's G2 match. It is speculated that V5 may do something similar at some key moments in this match, such as the inevitable level 1 team fight!

The strength of short-range warrior heroes lies in their early-game combat ability. By forcefully invading the jungle at level one and engaging in close-quarters combat, they will obviously gain a huge advantage.

HLE didn't choose to actively switch lanes because they were inspired by V5 in the previous match—they were prepared for the opponent to switch lanes at will and harass their mid and top lanes, and they only wanted to maintain the stable advantage of Draven in the bottom lane.

At 1 minute and 10 seconds, the five statues in the river suddenly started moving.

"Coming in!"

The HLE members, who were the first to discover the intrusion, immediately retreated upon realizing it was a group of five, giving the enemy no chance to engage in a level 1 team fight.

Canyon assumed that his bottom half of the map was going to be swapped, so he immediately prepared to head to the top half of the map to clear the jungle.

However, from God's perspective, abnormal personnel changes were discovered in V5.

"Jayce went to the bottom lane, but why is Jax going top? Are they going to let Jax and Renekton duo lane?" P was completely baffled.

"Definitely not," Niu Guli, who was well-versed in the top lane dynamics, saw through the clue: "Pressing Aatrox would definitely mean sending Jayce up; melee champions like Jax aren't that easy to pressure."

"Is the weapon user planning to counter-jungle?!"

"Huh? But the jungler is still at the red buff and hasn't gone there yet, how can the support counter-jungle?" P was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized and exclaimed, "Oh! Xun is Ivern!!"

From their God-like perspective, they seemed to understand.

1分30秒野怪刷新，Xun花费3秒给红BUFF种下菜地，随后前往F6再次花费3秒种下菜地————便直接绕后出现在中！

And the other side.

While still facing off across the bush in the bottom lane, the HLE duo, who thought the opposing bottom laner might be ambushing in the bush, heard the startled cries from their mid and jungle teammates.

"The Emerald Goddess is here!"

"How did the weapon end up with me?! Damn it, Zhao Qianxi!!!"

The moment the blind man started attacking the blue buff, he immediately saw a person surrounded by support item glowing dots swaggering in from the jungle entrance!
A level 1 solo jungler, even with Smite, will still need at least 15 seconds to clear the jungle, and their condition will inevitably be far from perfect.

Not to mention there were people harassing them from the side.

Canyon saw that his old teammate's Jax was clearly targeting him, so he had to stop immediately. He couldn't possibly ignore the enemy's attack on the blue buff!

Sylas, who had just been flanked by Ivern in the mid lane, reacted extremely quickly with his [Stealth] dash and avoided being hit by Ivern's [Rooted] Q while flanking—but could only watch helplessly as Ivern walked right past him, handing over lane control in the process.

"Ivern has passed! If I pass, Blade of the Ruined King will pass too!" Zeka could only hurriedly express his laning situation.

Canyon directed as he walked towards the bottom jungle: "Our support needs to come over too! His weapon seems to be chasing me, and I can't farm the jungle like that!"

The situation is now quite clear.

While HLE's support could suppress Jayce by staying in the bottom lane, the jungler was being watched by the enemy support and couldn't get away to help with the tower dive—how could the bottom lane duo possibly achieve a 2v1 in the early game?

At most, that would just mean pressuring Jayce to last-hit minions.

The price is that you'll always be one player short when fighting in your own jungle!

HLE would obviously not accept it if their jungler and the enemy support traded kills and both of them just stayed in the jungle and went AFK!

There was no other way; even though it was too late to set off now, HLE's Titan had to head to the jungle immediately, leaving Draven and Jayce to face off in a 1v1 lane.

"So that's their line of thinking!?"

Keira, backstage, stared wide-eyed.

"Let the support dominate the jungle, forcing the enemy to come and help Lee Sin defend the jungle. That will definitely lead to a melee fight in the jungle!"

"Fighting in the jungle is the main battleground for V5's lineup! G2 lost to GEN because they couldn't force the opponent to fight, and if a fighting lineup doesn't get to fight, its development will only become more and more disadvantaged!"

"If there's no battlefield, they'll create one themselves?"

When Canyon tried to walk back to his own bottom jungle, he found that the enemy Ivern had also returned to the mid lane, clearly intending to chase him. Canyon then realized what was going on.

V5's real target in this game was actually themselves!

more specifically.

It seems that V5 wanted to use jungle invasion as a "vehicle" to forcefully utilize the fighting characteristics of the "Five Warriors" system!

The key to V5 execution.

Actually, it's the Emerald God that seems to be a "broken king's pendant"!

{Ivern's passive ability, [Friend of the Forest], prevents him from attacking jungle monsters. He can only harvest his crops by waiting for them to mature through a "planting" mechanic, or by using Smite to "harvest" them early.}
The key point is that as long as Ivern plants a vegetable patch, he doesn't need to wait in place and can use Smite to instantly kill the entire jungle camp at full health at any time.

In theory, Ivern has no "jungle clearing time".

Therefore, when facing a counter-jungler, the blind man has neither the time difference to bypass the opponent's hide-and-seek in the jungle to exchange blows, nor the opportunity to directly "fight with Smite"!

If Ivern is determined to engage in a kill-or-die battle with Lee Sin, and neither teammate intervenes, Lee Sin will not be able to get a single jungle monster!
Not to mention that Canyon's movements were completely tracked at this point, and he had no way to escape from the gaze of the two people and their vision. Canyon's handling was very smart—he chose to return to the upper jungle area, staring directly at the weapon opposite him, as if he could see Beryl's smug laughter even through the screen.

Seeing that the Green God was still at level one, he knew that the other party must have planted vegetables in his red zone. Once he brought the other party back to the red zone, the other party could harvest vegetables continuously and instantly raise the level!
We absolutely have to fight this time!

An enraged Canyon was practically screaming as he gave the orders.

"I'm fine with this lane, I'll come back." Zeka glanced at his creep wave being pushed so hard by Blade of the Ruined King and gritted his teeth.

“I can come.” Kingen used the advantage of Aatrox’s three-stage Q to keep the minion wave at least evenly distributed, so he could move at any time.

After learning that the Blind Monk was still in the upper half of the map, the Green God had already used his Q to enter the Blue Buff pit.

Planting crops + Smite instantly kills the Blue Buff, leveling up to level 2.

"Ivern has leveled up to level 2!" Roaring Emperor exclaimed in surprise, "But we have no choice but to fight this round. Both solo lanes are about to reach level 3, and V5 will have a slight advantage in combat power!"

"Huh? But it seems like a fight broke out in the mid lane first!"

Zeka pushed the minion wave out a bit to avoid the potential loss of pushing the tower lane later.

Then you'll have to force an EW creep rush to trade blows.

He wanted to use the multiple AOE effects of his passive and Q skill to trade blows while clearing the minion wave—but Ye Bo saw through his opponent's intentions and hit him with "Forward Dash W" the moment he charged in, dashing forward 250 yards.

{The displacement distance of Blade of the Ruined King's W is constant; whether it's cast instantly or charged, it only affects the stun duration.}
His sprint position looked a bit strange; it was aimed behind Sylas, in the direction of the enemy's minion wave.

Zeka, focused on the laning phase, only had half a second to think before immediately countering with an E, followed by a full three-hit combo of AAQA at close range.

From an outsider's perspective, the final outcome of this blood exchange was somewhat unfavorable because the Ruined King was surrounded by minions.

But Zeka's expression changed.

Because he only realized the opponent's intention at this moment—the change in the position of the Ruined King directly caused his Q skill and the four passive AOE attacks to fail to hit the minions while trading blows as originally planned!

Instead, it was the Ruined King who attracted hatred because he was surrounded by soldiers.

This means that the minion wave, which was already being pushed forward, was destined to be pushed towards the tower, and he was no longer able to change the situation of the minion wave!

Although both mid laners will lose lanes if they roam offline later, Sylas will lose even more if he roams with them, possibly even more than a whole wave of minions!

Of course, if Zeka chooses not to go to support, he might have a chance to control Ye Bo's minion wave, causing the Ruined King to lose at least half a wave of health if he sets out.

Compare this to the predicament of your teammates in the jungle at this moment.

This is like forcing Zeka to solve the 'train problem'!
The support Titan had already entered the blue buff area. Zeka hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and stepped into the upper jungle.

"Both sides, take your positions!"

"Due to V5's relentless camping, this jungle battle was inevitable. And now, almost three minutes in, both supports are still only level one! Neither jungler has even been farming!"

"The good news is that although Ivern instantly killed the Blue Buff, the difference in combat power between level 1 and level 2 isn't that big. HLE should have a chance to kill one first! Can they kill the Ruined King first!?"

Unfortunately, the three of them, including the weapon crocodile and the Green God, were already gathered together and were closely surrounding the Ruined King.

It's obviously unrealistic to try to bypass the three and focus fire on the Ruined King directly!

More importantly, HLE knew it had no room for delay.

After all, Ivern can wait for the "vegetable patch" he just planted in front of Blind Man to mature, or wait for Smite's cooldown to be over, so he can openly walk in and "steal" jungle monsters again.

Continuing this will only make the situation worse!
"Drive! Drive it!"

Upon hearing the sound, Peter immediately used his hook, hitting the weapon master standing in front of him.

The battle is imminent!
However, none of the three HLE members rushed to get close.

Because the Weapon Master had already activated [Counterattack Storm], the Titan's passive [Overwhelming Force] control, which was automatically triggered by his Q, was also blocked by Counterattack Storm, making it seem like he was being offered up.

The noble counterattack storm's deterrent effect lasts for a full 2.5 seconds, and V5's four players have already used this time to initiate a chase and focus fire!

"Peter managed to withstand the aftershocks, but as soon as the counterattack storm ended, he was immediately caught by the crocodile's Red Fury W attack!"

"V5's control chain is fully activated, as if it wants to take down Titan first!"

Sylas uses his E to stealthily close the distance, while Aatrox uses his Q to draw his sword and slash at close range.

A level 1 solo jungler with W can only use Golden Bell to touch the body and apply the shield.

"It's okay, our support can die! We can give him a transformation!" Canyon, who knew the Blade of the Ruined King best, shouted.

Titan had already fallen first.

The ground presents a reposable {shell}.

But Ye Bo was certainly not that stupid, and he did not pick up the level 1 Titan, thus affecting his combat power.

After all, Blademaster without his ultimate ability before level 6 cannot "actively switch" his body.

Once a level one Titan is possessed, and he cannot kill another person immediately, he will "instantly downgrade" to the combat power of a true level one Titan!

Meanwhile, Ivern, who has learned W at level 2, has left the bush to help Blademaster increase his damage. The "Infinite Twin Blades" mechanic is still in effect, making his sustained combat ability quite formidable!

After the weapon killed the Titan, it also came under concentrated fire, so it immediately used Flash to retreat.

"We must kill the Ruined King first!"

Seeing that the weapon still had a third of its health left, the three members of HLE did not dare to give chase—because they knew that if they used Flash to chase after the weapon, they might all be killed by the Ruined King!
“Kenyou, save your skills for me!” Kingen shouted to his old partner Zeka.

Zeka instantly understood what the other party meant, and held back all of his second-stage EWQ skills.

The Sword Demon's previous Q1 and Q2 hit all three people. At this moment, he took another step forward, seemingly wanting to chase the weapon, and slashed down with a powerful Q3 [Darkin Blade], which had a 50% damage increase — but at the last moment of Darkin Blade's slash, he pulled back with a [Backstep E]!
Their target is the ruined king behind them!

Sylas had been waiting for a long time. He first used Q and then immediately followed up with E, clearly intending to coordinate with Aatrox to hit two small knock-ups and unleash all the burst damage in an instant!
But in the next moment, Kingen's eyes suddenly flashed.

"HLE is going to focus fire on Blade of the Ruined King! It seems like Aatrox's Q3 attack missed!"

"The Ruined King just managed to possess Titan!!! His untargetable invulnerability allowed him to dodge Aatrox's Q3!"

"Furthermore, Sylas's E also passed through the crocodile behind him, and even his Q2 missed!"

"HLE's coordination between top and mid lane seems to be having problems!"

In the early game, everyone's skills have long cooldowns, and missing a skill is absolutely fatal, causing a sudden drop in damage output.

The HLE members realized that something terrible was about to happen.

But the Blade of the Ruined King, who possessed Titan, retaliated by auto-attacking Sylas and had his Q skill available, clearly leaving the opponent with nowhere to escape.

"Sell me! Sell me! Get out of here!"

The two Uenos did indeed want to withdraw.

However, 'Ruined Titan' is not greedy for kills at all. Ignoring Sylas who is about to die behind him, he turns around and chases after him alone, throwing out his highly accurate Q skill at the blind man.

Canyon had no choice but to use Flash to dodge!
The commentator on the podium, known as "Roaring Emperor," watched with deep regret: "HLE lost two players in one wave, and their jungler was still chased down and forced to use Flash! This is a huge loss!"

"The only good news might be that one of the kills was taken by the support, and the other by the crocodile; Blademaster didn't get any kills."

[This is hilarious! What are these two doing today? DRX players, stop feeding!]

[Poor Kingen and Zeka are such a star-crossed couple, forced to come to Hanwha from Longcha. This suddenly appearing Uncle Three is like Diao Chan interfering in their relationship, completely uncooperative!]

[Go and get a big win in the mid and top lanes with your Dragon Fork!]

[In fact, there was no such person as Diao Chan in history. Luo Guanzhong only used the homonym "Diao Chan" to describe the scene of Diao Chan being with someone, just to depict their love story.]

[Kin, you want to trigger the river Aatrox buff in just 3 minutes? Did you even ask Master Ye for permission?!]

On the player bench.

Kingen, who had escaped, looked visibly strange.

It's important to understand that the Sword Demon's "Delayed EQ" at near-maximum timing is completely unexpected, making it virtually impossible to dodge using 'reaction'.

Did he see right through me?
