LPL History

Chapter 114 Peeping at the Heavenly Secrets: Observing the Six Directions Through the Screen, Breaking Through the Fog, Commanding the Generals to Control the Overall Situation
IG player seat.

Zhou Li's gaze was exceptionally clear.

At the start of the match, he chose an ability to inherit.

Before this, because he was not clear about the current situation, he did not rashly inherit the ability.

Be prepared to inherit it whenever needed.

Now he has discovered that there is a capability that can disregard any conditions and has an extremely high cost-effectiveness.

That's an ability unlocked from the "Chronicles of Mingkai"!
[Exceptional Intelligence]!
Zhou Li's intelligence allows him to maintain a clear mind and a broad perspective throughout the game.

While laning, Zhou Li was constantly calculating Umbrella King's next move in his mind.

Furthermore, his powerful mind allowed him to know the cooldown times of these heroes' skills perfectly.

In addition, there's his perfect level of mastery over his words.

And the accumulated enjoyment points from constantly trash-talking the IG members.

This is why he was able to dodge three of Ezreal's Qs in a row and perfectly kite his opponent.

Zhou Li's current actions have the precision of a script, but also a smoothness that far surpasses that of a script.

The little umbrella was chased and hit twice by the big mouth, and immediately turned red.

Why are you, with your big mouth, fighting so aggressively against my Ezreal in the early game?

He tried to turn around and fight back several times, but Kog'Maw's reaction was almost synchronized with Ezreal's.

As soon as EZ turned around, Kog'Maw also turned around, firmly keeping the distance between them outside of EZ's attack range.

Zhou Li had Xiao Xiao learn W but not E in order to coordinate with his E skill's slow effect and launch a strong attack on EZ.

Without Lulu's speed boost, it would be difficult for him to chase and kite Ezreal.

Zhou Li clicked on EZ.

"What are you standing there for! Flash and Q him!"

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Xiao Xiao instinctively used Flash and unleashed her Q skill.

Xiaosan was seething with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

His health has dropped below half. If he gets slowed by Lulu's Q skill, he might really be killed by the enemy in a head-on confrontation!
Left with no other option, Xiaosan had to use her Flash to create distance.

Seeing EZ flash away, Kog'Maw instantly turned his attention to Leona on the other side.

The female character was positioned even further forward than Ezreal.

At this moment, facing the attacks of Big Mouth and Lulu's two long arms, the Leona had no power to fight back.

Fortunately, the Japanese woman was quite tough, and after losing half her health, she was finally pulled to a safe position.

Although neither of them died, their laning phase was completely ruined!
Big Mouth's health was almost full, and Lulu was at full health.

On the other hand, both Ezreal and Leona had their health dropped below half, and Ezreal even used Flash!

"Wow! IG's bot lane, that rookie AD, they're playing so aggressively!!"

In the commentary booth, the child was still expressing his feelings.

Miller then spoke up:

"Wow, this guy's ADC is so smooth! He completely numbed Xiaosan's Ezreal! OMG's bot lane was supposed to get to level two first and have the opportunity, but they almost got themselves killed instead! Ezreal didn't even land a single Q, let alone get a few auto-attacks!"

"I can only say that it's a good thing that he played Ezreal this game! Now OMG's bot lane is under tremendous pressure even to go up and farm! Fortunately, Ezreal's Q skill has a relatively long range."

The OMG players' bench at this moment.

The little umbrella was complaining incessantly.

"How could this guy be just a random player? I feel like none of the AD carries I've encountered in the first server have any better kiting skills than him!"

Hearing what Xiaosan said, the eldest brother, Gogoing, comforted her:

"I guess he plays on the Korean server like PDD, and he's deliberately saying he's Platinum 1. You underestimated him, which is why you were caught off guard."

The elixir opened its mouth and took the blame:
"Mine, mine, this wave is mine! If I can control it, nothing will happen. It's okay, the minion wave will push over. Let's play it safe for now. His playstyle is prone to problems. As long as I control him, we can turn the tide in one wave."

The little umbrella nodded.

The elixir was right.

The opponent's aggressive positioning makes it easy to create opportunities.

Just like in that wave, if he had gotten hit by Leona's E, then they would have been two levels high against one level, and he could have forced Kog'Maw to use Cleanse and Flash.

It's just that I got lucky for a while.

Meanwhile, on the IG players' bench, Zhou Li was giving Sun Yalong a one-on-one private lesson.

"What are you still doing crouching in the bushes? Push forward! Why should he get the line?"

"Damn it! What if I push any further and get caught in the control system?!"

"What do you mean by 'what if I get crowd control'? Do you think I believe you can dodge the enemy's crowd control? Is it possible that I'm deliberately sending you in to get caught by their crowd control? If you don't get caught, am I supposed to? What's the point of having you as a support?"

Zhou Li tapped EZ twice more.

"Go and trade blows with him!! Go auto-attack him, go Q him, what are you afraid of?! You're at full health, how can the enemy come up to you? This game is a killing game, not a last-hitting game!"

Sun Yalong's face turned red from Zhou Li's scolding.

In the IG voice chat, everyone else remained silent, except for Zhou Li, who was unleashing a barrage of attacks.

This guy is definitely a stress monster.

Only two or three minutes into the match, Sun Yalong felt his blood pressure rise.

In order to shut Zhou Li up, Sun Yalong had no choice but to control Lulu to step forward and force her to exchange hits with EZ.

"Yeah, that's all, it's okay if you lose! I'll tell you what to do next. With your health and no Flash, the enemy will definitely go for you at level three! If Leona points at you, don't dodge. Immediately use Polymorph on Ezreal and Ignite, then shield me, you hear me?"

Sun Yalong remained silent.

"Did you hear me! Answer me!"

Zhou Li's sudden increase in volume startled Sun Yalong. At the same time, IG's bot lane duo also leveled up to level three!
Without any hesitation, Lingyao pointed at Lulu, who was standing in an extremely arrogant position.

Lulu's previous exchange with Ezreal had reduced her health to half.

After all, Sun Yalong took the full hit of Ezreal's Q skill.

Since OMG pushed the lane first and reached level two, and Zhou Li deliberately controlled the lane, the minion waves of both sides were basically at the same level at this time.

For OMG's bot lane duo, a Lulu with half health who has crossed the minion wave and hasn't used Flash yet is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

Without a second thought, Lingyao went straight for it.

The Japanese hero used E followed by Q to keep Lulu in place, but Xiaosan didn't immediately use E to burst her down.

He knew Lulu still had the Sheep-Turning spell.

So he remained on guard, moving to the right to increase the distance between himself and Big Mouth.

Zhou Li did not immediately choose to press forward, as such an intention would be too obvious. Instead, while attacking the Sun Maiden, he slowly moved downwards.

The moment Xiaoxiao's control ended, her health had dropped to only two bars.

He frantically pressed W, finally turning Ezreal into a sheep and immediately applying Ignite.

This time, Zhou Li didn't hesitate at all. He started with QE and unleashed a barrage of attacks on EZ!

Xiaoxiao looked at her already low health and wanted to cast her E skill shield on herself.

However, seeing that Kog'Maw was about to shove himself into Ezreal's face, he decided to give the shield to Kog'Maw.

"Wow! Lion! He's playing really aggressively! He's almost right in Ezreal's face!! Ezreal has been polymorphed, and Leona has no skills! Xiaosan is in danger!!"

Umbrella King knew he was basically going to stay here. Although he had E, he had already taken the slow buff from Kog'Maw. With Kog'Maw's W activated, Kog'Maw could stick to him until he died!

The best solution now is to force a trade with the enemy Lulu and get the first blood!
But at this moment, he finally understood why the big mouth, who always liked to stay at the maximum distance to deal damage, had chosen to walk right up to his face!

Because of this guy, he kept blocking my Q!

Umbrella King's Q skill was blocked by Kog'Maw's body.

As his health dwindled, Umbrella King used his barrier and immediately followed up with his E skill.

He knew he couldn't escape by using his E skill downwards, so he tried to adjust his position and used his Q skill to finish off the low-health Lulu!
In this way, getting the first kill isn't such a bad deal for me!

[Secret Technique Design!]

A white energy blast shot out from Ezreal's hand!

Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she blurted out instinctively, "Holy crap! Awesome!"

At the same time, a gasp of surprise rang out from the audience!
"Oh!!! What's going on! Kog'Maw used Flash to block Lulu's potentially fatal Q skill!! That reaction was too fast!!"

"Wow! That's so touching! The ADC flashed to block a skill for the support?!"

Seeing the giant mouth that flashed in front of him, Umbrella King felt like his lungs were about to explode with rage.

Because Lulu has already created distance, he can't reach her!
And he himself was going to be verbally abused to death by that big mouth!
First blood!!

Kog'Maw killed Ezreal and then started auto-attacking Leona. Zhou Li said:
"Sun Yalong, Leona's level 1 E skill has a 12-second cooldown, it'll be ready in four seconds, watch your positioning!"

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, the IG members were all stunned, finding it somewhat outrageous.

In this laning situation, how can an ADC accurately remember the support's skill cooldowns?

"Three! Two! One!"

Sun Yalong was somewhat skeptical, and the moment Zhou Li finished speaking, he did not choose to move to a different position.

And Leona's E skill was displayed at the same time!

Lulu was already low on health, and Leona's E followed by AQ took her down instantly!
"Are you fucking an idiot? Can't you understand human language?"

Zhou Li unleashed a barrage of attacks on Sun Yalong.

He was swearing at the Japanese woman while having sex with her.

"I already warned you like that! You still just kept walking straight ahead! You're so bad, why are you playing professionally? Go home and raise pigs!"

Sun Yalong's head was steaming from Zhou Li's spray.

But what the other party said was absolutely correct, and there was no way to even argue back.

DoubleKill!

As Zhou Li secured a double kill, the commentators' voices wailed.

"Wow! IG got a double kill in the bottom lane!! Both kills went to Lion's Kog'Maw! This Kog'Maw is about to take off! We all know Kog'Maw is a late-game champion. But he's only level three and he's already got two kills!"

Miller chimed in, "This player is truly something else! To be honest, I've never seen a player with such fluid kiting and movement! IG, with such a strong player on the team, why did they put him as the team manager before? This is a huge achievement!"

Watching Zhou Li's smooth double kill, the few remaining IG fans in the live stream got excited.

[Holy crap! A hidden master on Instagram?!]

[If you're this good, why didn't you play sooner!]

[6666! Our IG is saved!]

But in addition to the praise from IG fans, the popularity of the live stream began to gradually rise.

These netizens who arrived later started flooding the screen with comments.

What does the ID "Lion" mean? You son of a bitch, give me an explanation!!

It turns out that the few 60e viewers in the original live stream spread the news about Zhou Li's ID.

However, Zhou Li was unaware of these matters at this time.

After returning to the city, he hesitated for a moment and then chose to buy attack speed boots first.

In Zhou Li's previous life, he didn't really like playing champions like Jhin when playing AD carries.

In his view, only smooth and graceful movement, and slightly manic head shaking and twitching, is the exclusive romance of an ADC.

There are actually two build options for Kog'Maw.

The most mainstream build, like other ADCs, is a crit build consisting of Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge, Last Whisper, and Bloodthirster.

This set of equipment focuses on high cost-effectiveness, smooth equipment synthesis, and faster completion.

As for the champion Kog'Maw, there is actually a build specifically for him.

That's the Ruined King's Scythe of Vyse plus the Mighty Gloves of Madred!

This item didn't last long in League of Legends.

And because it is so obscure, many veteran players are unaware of its existence.

On the official League of Legends website, only one champion is listed as compatible with the Bloodthirster Gloves: Kog'Maw.

The main reason why the Mered Blood Gloves are so unpopular is because they are too expensive.

However, for Kog'Maw, the attack damage bonus, the high attack speed bonus, and the unique passive: dealing magic damage equal to 4% of the target's maximum health on hit, make it Kog'Maw's perfect equipment.

Of course, there is another hero who is also very suitable for this equipment, and that is the Werewolf.

If you choose Blade of the Ruined King and Scythe of Vyse along with Marrow's Bloodthirster, the cost-effectiveness is definitely lower than that of the crit-based Bloodthirster build.

Generally speaking, Kog'Maw will only choose to build this set of items when the enemy team has tanky frontliners like Mundo or Shen.

However, after thinking about it, Zhou Li still wanted to get the Marilyn Bloodbreaker Gloves.

There's no particular reason.

I mainly like the feeling of twitching.

With Zhou Li back online, OMG's bot lane duo's playstyle became noticeably more stable.

Firstly, because they clearly realized that Zhou Li was not just a player who had only played casual matches.

Secondly, in the previous skirmish, they had already used up all their Summoner Spells, while Kog'Maw had an extra Cleanse.

Faced with this, Zhou Li could only silently begin to develop.

After all, in terms of team composition, OMG holds the initiative in the attack.

However, while Zhou Li was finishing off the enemy, he was also keeping a close eye on his teammates, checking the screen every two seconds.

"Zitai! What the hell are you doing going up there to trade blows? Do you think you can solo kill the enemy or what? Do you even know you're pushing the lane? If you don't maintain your health, the enemy Hecarim will just stomp on your head and kill you when he comes! What are you playing Morgana for? Push the lane! After pushing the lane, find an opportunity to roam!"

"Why didn't you buy wards after recalling? I'm asking you, since you've already recalled, why didn't you buy wards! Go back and buy wards! Set up vision control in OMG's jungle!"

"You're still there, lurking in the top lane! What, are you afraid the enemy will come up and gank a Zac with his passive active?!"

"Can't you even do Q-Flash? You don't even know how to do Q-Flash?! Damn it, don't fucking try it out. Go home and practice properly. I'm begging you, just get to level six already! Once you're level six, you have lock-on, can't you just come to the bot lane and gank this EZ?"

"Why are you sleepwalking when you're playing jungle? Use your brain! Why don't you have any ideas? Do I have to teach you everything?!"

"PDD, you got stabbed 15 times? Are you even human?"

"The crocodile is too aggressive? Bro, let me ask you, why didn't you pressure him before level three? Tell me, what's the point of a crocodile before level three? You pressured him? You pressured your XXXX. You think I can't see top lane! I've been watching the whole time, wasn't it you who camped in the bush at level one instead of clearing the lane?!"

Zhou Li switched back to the bottom lane and saw Sun Yalong's position, instantly becoming furious.

"Duck-necked dragon, what the hell are you doing? I'm standing right here, and you're standing right behind me? Why aren't you sticking your eyes out? Are you saving them for your own grave next year during the Qingming Festival?!"

Morgana's gone! The Centaurs are coming for you!

"PDD! Go home if you're out of form! Renekton's Flash is ready, and Karthus has twelve seconds left on his ultimate!"

"Shadow, go eat his red buff! Hecarim, go tower dive top lane!"

The moment PDD's Zac recalled to base, he indeed saw Centaur running out from behind.

He patted his stomach with some trepidation and couldn't help but say:

"Holy crap, did you open it? How did you even know that?"

Zhou Li's tone was full of disdain.

"Is it really that difficult to deduce the opponent's movement trajectory based on the field of vision provided by eye positions?"

PDD pursed his lips. Although he felt that this person seemed to have some talent, the long-standing stereotypes could not be changed overnight.

However, he suddenly realized that his good brother, the duck-necked dragon, had not spoken for a long time.

"Why has the duck-necked dragon become mute?"

PDD attempts to initiate a call.

But Sun Yalong did not respond to him.

If we're talking about the most shocking person at this moment, it has to be Sun Yalong.

In all his years as a professional gamer, he had never seen such a freakish person.

This refers to his professional gaming career, not his professional League of Legends career.

This person is absolutely terrifying!

Sun Yalong was sitting right next to Zhou Li, so he could catch a glimpse of Zhou Li's screen out of the corner of his eye.

After noticing Zhou Li once out of the corner of his eye, Sun Yalong couldn't help but look towards him.

Every time he looked over, Zhou Li was switching screens.

From the mid lane to the jungle, from the jungle to the top lane, and sometimes even directly into the enemy jungle's fog of war, it seems as if they can see through the fog of war to see some clues.

Moreover, each screen switch was incredibly fast. Before Sun Yalong could even see anything clearly, Zhou Li had already switched back and was able to provide guidance, issue warnings, and help him farm minions at the same time.

At first, Sun Yalong thought Zhou Li was just showing off.

However, he discovered that Zhou Li's advance warnings always came true.

Not only that, this person can even memorize the summoner spell durations of other players!
Where the hell did this "super brain" come from?!

What Sun Yalong found even more absurd in this situation was—

This person has been laning online for so long and hasn't missed a single hit!
