League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 195 Mercury Instantly Counters the Spinning Kick, Black Team's Highlight Moment!

"Oh dear, I shouldn't have kicked it."

"Seeker's excellent counter-gank helped the purple team's Caitlyn secure a crucial first blood."

"Yes, with these four hundred dollars in hand, the policewoman can craft the Storm Sword on her first trip home to upgrade her equipment, hiss—"

Xiaoxiao deliberately made an exaggerated expression, "When we encounter Lustre in ranked matches, we don't dare to feed him so many kills in the early game. This guy's damage output is too strong."

“I even suspect that the policewoman deliberately used herself as bait to lure Spicy Hot Pot into a trap by not dodging Lee Sin’s Q skill,” Bella chimed in.

After the two finished speaking, Jiang Ming calmly said, "It was indeed done on purpose."

"Did you all notice that when Lee Sin first showed up in the bottom lane, Elise had already recalled to base to upgrade her equipment and rushed to the bottom lane? Seeker even made boots as his first item to compensate for his lack of movement speed."

Spider Queen doesn't lack damage in the early game, so most people will prioritize building Sorcerer's Shoes as their first item.

Having analyzed this far, Jiang Ming didn't mind going a step further:
"In fact, after the purple team did not see Lee Sin's position in the F4 vision, they had already judged Lee Sin's exact location. They started with red buff and went top, without attacking F4. Especially since the top laner Jax had already been forced to recall once, it was unlikely that Lee Sin would stay in the top lane."

"It's too early to go back to base and upgrade your gear. You'll either be farming the Krugs or ganking the bot lane duo. The red buff is extremely valuable in the early game, and given Spicy Pot's personality and playstyle, he's unlikely to waste time farming jungle camps."

That makes sense, I understand!

[Is this the true value of the league's top brain? My goodness! From the order in which heroes start their jungle runs, to the state of hero duels in lane, and even the individual playstyles of the players.]

[Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game. JPG]

[Xiangguo must be frustrated too. He could have won against anyone else today, but who would have thought he'd run into Seeker, the man who's his natural counter.]

[Agreed. During the semifinals, Xiangguo's Lee Sin almost shattered VG's spirit against them.]

[I know the answer to this question: Mom, why is the enemy jungler always in my jungle?]

Oh ho, looks like the Black Team is going to win the finals again today.

Before the discussion in the chat had even ended, news of a victory suddenly came from the White Team's mid lane.

Zhao Hao used Orianna to avoid Lee Sin's ganks in the early game, sacrificing two minion experience opportunities. He used WQ to harass and kill a half-health minion, instantly leveling up to level six and activating [Instant Shadow Strike] to R towards Orianna.

U was very composed. Facing Zhao Hao's initiative, he first used Flash to create distance, and at the same time used his E skill to pull the magic ball back, wiped out the minions, and then leveled up to level 6 to get his ultimate. He then threw it not far from the tower, predicting the landing point of Zed's shadow.

air!
[Command - Shockwave]

Whoosh!
Zed activated his second R skill the moment he landed, returning to his original position. His E skill dealt some damage, further reducing Orianna's health.

laugh!
The second stage of the [Instant Shadow Kill Array] bursts out, and combined with the damage from Ignite, it brings Clockwerk down to a sliver of health. It can be said that if two more basic attacks are added to increase the burst damage of the ultimate, there is a good chance of killing it.

"Kill?"

Zhao Hao shook his head. It's not that easy.

If you manage to land two auto-attacks, Orianna can use her ultimate to pull herself into the tower. With the barrier in place, she'll also be in danger.

Now that he's trading Ignite for Flash, and Orianna has to recall once, he's already come out ahead.

The mid-lane momentum was turned around, serving as a small warning to the female police officer who was not in good form.

The Black Team wasn't in a hurry and chose to play it safe, slowly chipping away at the towers' health in the early game. For the next few minutes, Caitlyn only pushed forward when she had vision.

Jiang Hong's Jax in the top lane started strong. Although he suffered a bit from the pressure from Renekton, he was still able to maintain his laning rhythm and get by.

Spicy Hot Pot, with his fearless and daring style, found an opportunity at seven and a half minutes, assisting the mid laner in killing the Orianna under the tower without Flash.

See this.

White team supporters breathed a sigh of relief; it was really not easy to kill the Black team's mid laner.

Not only is his support ability impressive, but his laning style is also incredibly stable.

Playing with a clockwork toy is almost like seeing only the magic ball and no one in sight.

Unfortunately, TheKing, the mid laner, is said to have recently switched from top lane to mid lane. Although he has good talent, he still needs to improve in many details.

Yes, as expected of Captain White, he's a truly courageous man. He's not afraid to take the blame, he dares to step up at any time, and he stands up in crucial moments to save the team from dire straits.

What? You're asking why the team is in such dire straits?
Then don't ask anymore.

……

Although Orianna died in the mid lane, at the same time, Elise forced Ezreal and Sona to retreat, helping the purple team to take down the blue team's bottom lane tower first.

And the pace didn't stop there. After taking down the first tower, the Black team decisively adjusted their lineup, moving the bot lane to the mid lane, Orianna to the top lane, and the Renekton, who was also doing well, to the bottom half of the map.

The White Team was quite troubled by the Black Team's obvious strategy of switching lanes.

If the first tower is taken down, the duo lane absolutely cannot stay in the bottom lane. Our own training team has conducted special training on this. So how should our team deal with the lane swap?

To kidnap them on their journey?

Nope!

While Zed could continue to suppress Orianna's development by going to the top lane, given Mr. U's steady style, it would be difficult for Zhao Hao and Mlxg to break through and further widen the gap. Moreover, if the mid and jungle are concentrated in the top lane, the defense of the bottom half of the map will be weak, and the dragon economy will be directly handed over.

Could Zed stay in the bottom lane while Jax continues laning against Orianna in the top half of the map?

That's even more wrong. The Shadow Master, an assassin, is trading his position in the bottom lane to face a tough Renekton. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Left with no other option, the white team had to choose the lesser of two evils. As the black team finished pushing the mid lane and turned to take the dragon, the support Sona and Lee Sin turned to the top lane and destroyed the black team's top lane turret.

It's not that I don't want to kill Clockwork.

They simply couldn't hold onto Mr. U, that stubborn bastard. Despite having a large wave of minions, the opponent decisively retreated to the second tower without the slightest greed.

(Your team has destroyed a turret.)

(The enemy has already killed the giant dragon!)
The notifications for the destruction of the defensive tower and the killing of the dragon came one after the other.

The audience's breathing became rapid.

wonderful!

It's really wonderful.

The exchange of hero statuses online, the jungler's unpredictable ganking strategies, and the players' extreme maneuvers in small-scale skirmishes.

Now we're seeing two teams of similar skill levels engaged in a strategic battle.

【exchange!】

Resource exchange—so this is what resource exchange means.

[Faced with the Desert Spider combo, which boasts incredible early-game fighting power, we decisively forgo the Dragon and prioritize sacrificing tower economy.]

[The Black Team's strategy is similar: use Caitlyn to quickly take down towers, then rotate from the top lane to the bottom side of the map to take advantage of Renekton's power spike to secure dragon gold, thus compensating for Orianna's lack of farm.]

Amidst the gasps of the audience, the kill count and gold difference alternated, with Clockwerk gradually catching up in development on one side and Jax racing against time on the other. The turning point of the entire match came at the thirteen-minute mark.

Xiangguo's Lee Sin invaded the purple team's red zone to try and counter F4, but U's Orianna, in his habitual cautious approach of scouting vision, threw a magic ball to the right and bumped into it, resulting in a QR combo that landed in the middle.

Just then, the Spider switched forms at lightning speed and flashed into E, only to be killed by a sniper bullet from afar. Lee Sin once again gave away 300 gold.

With Lee Sin dead, vision in the blue buff jungle was immediately lost, two control wards were placed, and Caitlyn and Lulu appeared in the top lane, successfully taking down the turret.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the distraction from the top lane minions, the mid lane tower was gradually worn down by the female police officer's traps.

However, Jiang Hong's Jax managed to take down the purple team's bottom tower by himself while the Crocodile was threatening the mid lane.

At 15:30, with the female police officer wielding a B.F. Sword and a Statikk Shiv, the blue team's Ezreal struggled to clear waves, so even with Manamune, there was no chance of contesting the second dragon.

At this point, the economic gap between the two parties reached 2,900 yuan.

Economic equipment is secondary; the vision pressure caused by the destruction of the outer turrets on all three lanes is the most difficult problem for the blue team to deal with right now.

With Lulu and Spider present, even though our Lee Sin is very agile, it is still very difficult to set up vision, not to mention Sona, who is beautiful and kind but as fragile as paper.

With the gold from the two dragons and three turrets secured, Clockwerk, who had been killed once in the early game, gradually caught up in development. The worse news was that a Desert Butcher with Sunfire Cape, Brutalizer, and Giant's Belt was tanking at the front of the team fight, becoming a monster that the White Team couldn't handle.

The Black team's fans couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Who told you that our top laner only plays tanks and mindlessly drags the game into the late game and team fights? He's just as strong with early-game champions, okay?

Eighteen minutes later, the purple team's Clockwerk had completed the Holy Grail, Sorcerer's Shoes, and was only missing the cost to craft the Rabadon's Deathcap.

The policewoman's equipment, consisting of an endless electric knife and a pickaxe, was already in its initial stages.

With Lulu's close protection, the policewoman's threat to the robbers decreased sharply, even though she didn't produce the mercury.

arms?

Weapons are not an option for now. Although Jiang Hong's equipment is good, his level has reached the highest in the team by constantly pulling the single lane.

Without tank items, killing the AD carry while protected by the top, jungle, and support is extremely difficult.

"Let's give it a try, let's make one last desperate attempt with our Dragon."

Inside the White Team, Jiang Hong comforted his teammates.

The female police officer's tower-pushing pace is too fast, making it difficult for him and Zed to achieve much in their split-pushing. With just a few traps placed under the tower, it can easily lead to a terrifying story of high ground breach.

At 23 minutes, taking advantage of their minion waves and turrets, the purple team gained vision control of the Baron pit area.

Forty seconds later, the blue team scouted the jungle. Facing the purple team's ambush, Death's Declaration reacted quickly and dodged Orianna's hidden ball ultimate.

Due to Orianna's missed ultimate, coupled with the combined entry of Zed and Jax, a clash in the jungle allowed the blue team to successfully turn the tide, winning a team fight with a two-for-three exchange.

However, after this round, the purple team did not suffer a major blow.

The key carry's skills are still available, while the blue team used a lot of Flash.

Furthermore, the mid-game, which should have been a time for EZ and Zed to shine, was disrupted by the continuous tower-pushing rhythm, while Caitlyn and Orianna had much better opportunities to deal damage in team fights.

At 25 minutes, the purple team abandoned the attack and defense of the Baron and instead formed a defensive line to attack the high ground tower.

With Sunfire Cape and Randuin's Omen, the Renekton unleashed his ultimate and stood in front, while Death's Declaration, his face as black as charcoal, controlled Ezreal's Water Gun, alternating between Q and A, dealing countless useless damage.

At the 26-minute mark, the Blind Monk's deadly high-ground spinning kick successfully struck the female police officer.

Just as the audience was exclaiming in surprise, thinking that the White Team had pulled off an amazing comeback, the Caitlyn, who had been hit by the Lee Sin's ultimate, activated her Quicksilver Sash mid-air and flashed back to her teammates.

"what!"

"what!"

"The Lee Sin's Roundhouse Kick was countered by Quicksilver Sash?"

As the commentators erupted in two gasps of surprise, the entire esports arena instantly churned like boiling water.

From the live audience to the viewing rooms in various competition zones around the world, countless pairs of eyes fixed on the screen trembled simultaneously, and the barrage of comments began to scroll like snowflakes.

The next move of the players on the field was temporarily ignored, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the policewoman's highlight moment of quick escape from the spinning kick with a quick mercury.

"JM!"

"Brother Ming?"

Bella and Xiaoxiao simultaneously turned to look at the commentary booth, as if they had transformed into the eyes of countless League of Legends players:
The meaning is obvious.

Don't tell me you don't know how the players on the field are doing things.

"Well, actually, rather than saying that the Quicksilver Sash removed Lee Sin's Insec kick, it's more accurate to say that the Quicksilver Sash removed the root effect from Lee Sin's ultimate, allowing Caitlyn to use Flash at the crucial moment."

Jiang Ming waited for the director to show the replay, explaining the principles behind the policewoman's actions:

"The reason why Quicksilver Sash can remove Lee Sin's ultimate is that it can remove control effects, including root and stun, but it cannot actually remove the subsequent knock-up effect. Quicksilver Sash just gives you an opportunity to flash in mid-air."

Whoosh!

A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd.

While listening to the explanation, Jiang Ming was also admiring the super cool roundhouse kick that the female police officer used against the Lee Sin in the game.

Lee Sin is so cool!

The policewoman is even cooler!

In short, it's a battle of gods.

Lee Sin's desperate kick failed, and White Team's mid-lane high ground was breached.

In the following minutes, U, who had made a big kill, stopped underperforming at crucial moments, pulling off a triple kill in the Baron pit and delivering the damage output expected of a mid laner.

Finally, in front of the Baron pit, the purple team scored a three-for-five trade, and the female police officer in the key position survived, just like in that training match.

At 32 minutes, following the steps of the super soldier, the policewoman and the spider destroyed the blue team's crystal.

TGA Grand Finals BO5.

NXG.B is currently leading 1-0.

Just when some online trolls were hoping to take advantage of the situation and criticize the White Team's performance, the second match took an unexpected turn, slapping them in the face.

After the blue and purple teams were swapped in the second game, the draft lineups were as follows:

Blue (Black) team: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Gragas, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Annie.

Purple team (white): Top lane Jayce, Jungle Olaf, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Corki + Nami!
