LPL History

Chapter 115 The Livestock Bureau cleverly deploys a maze to suppress three routes; the Tax Bureau liquidates the battlefield and commands the three armies.

In a professional League of Legends team, there is usually a shot-caller.

This position is almost always filled by support players.

Or perhaps it's a jungler.

Because players in these two positions don't need to focus all their energy on the laning phase.

The position least likely to assume command responsibilities is the AD position.

As the core of the team's damage output, the AD carry needs extremely high concentration to cope with laning and team fights.

Normally, the support is responsible for obtaining information from teammates and recording the timing of the enemy's summoner spells in the public chat.

Together with the jungler, they constantly monitor the minimap and warn their teammates in lane about the enemy's movements as early as possible.

What was the Zhou ritual doing?
As an ADC, he almost single-handedly took on all the tasks.

He doesn't even need to communicate with his teammates to know when the enemy top laner used Flash.

And he memorized all of this information.

Then you can give orders to your teammates and remind them what to do next.

After doing all that, he didn't forget his primary job as an ADC, perfectly last-hitting every minion in lane.

How could this not shock Sun Yalong?!
At this moment, the screen, which was almost blurry with double images of Zhou Lidu, naturally caught the director's attention.

I immediately switched my view from the game to Zhou Li's screen.

The doll was stunned for a moment as she watched Zhou Li cut five times in one second.

"Um, we also noticed a very interesting scene from the broadcast: Lion kept switching screens. What was he doing?"

Miller also spoke up:

"Wow, the frequency of screen switching is too high! The key is that he even managed to last hit the enemy, and he out-killed Xiaosan by 20 hits! He's got some skills."

The doll smiled and said:

"But honestly, was it really necessary to switch screens like that? I felt like I didn't see anything before Lion switched away! Did he really see it himself?"

The viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back any longer.

[Incredible! What kind of operation is this?]

"Holy crap, I'm going blind."

"Wait, are you playing StarCraft here?"

What kind of flashback is this?

What can he possibly see cutting like that? He's just showing off.

[Switch between screens so much while playing AD, aren't you afraid of dying instantly?]

While netizens were still discussing it, Zhou Li's voice was also heard through the live broadcast.

"Stop calling PDD, just focus on your own game. The crocodile's ultimate is about to be ready. Zz1tai pushed the lane to the top lane; he's going to get in big trouble this time."

The shadow spoke:

"Um, I can go in this round."

"You go top lane! You fucking come bot! Wait for PDD to bait out Karthus's ultimate, then dive bot lane!"

"Sun Yalong! What the hell are you standing there for? Push the lane with me, go to the tri-bush and place the control ward! You think I have to follow you around and teach you how to play a game? I might as well just grab your hand and play!"

To everyone's surprise, the IG members remained silent in the face of Zhou Li's angry outburst.

Miller couldn't help but sigh:

"Um... As expected of the team manager, he's definitely putting a lot of pressure on me."

The doll then spoke:

"So he was actually looking at something when he switched screens just now? An AD carry, taking on the role of the team's shot-caller? This... is a bit hard to judge."

Miller looked at the minimap and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"The key is that, look, he actually predicted OMG's move!! The Renekton led a wave and a half of minions into the tower, while the Hecarim had already circled around to the back!!"

OMG had planned this tower dive in the top lane long ago.

PDD's Zac had his passive ability active, but at this point, he had less than half his health left.

The crocodile pushed the lane into the tower, suddenly initiated an attack with zero frames, flashing and auto-attacking followed by W with red rage and then R!

At the same time, Karthus' ultimate ability started its casting a second earlier than Renekton's attack!

The man who flanked them delivered a flying kick, sending the chubby little brother flying like a ball in front of the tower.

OMG's teamwork in this move was absolutely perfect.

The crocodile's red-rage W lasts for one second. Hecarim first used his E skill to push PDD to a safer position in front of the tower, and then released his ultimate when the stun was about to end.

Karthus's ultimate ability descended from the sky, instantly blasting out four piles of PDD.

Goging's crocodile had been saving his skills, and now, in conjunction with Hecarim's skills, he unleashed a powerful, enraged Q!

One Q equals four PDDs!

Then use E to pull the enemy out of the turret's range.

But at the same time, the moment Karthus' ultimate landed, IG's bot lane had already started moving.

Both players had amassed a wave of minions and pushed them into the tower, but Vi, playing Shadow, unreasonably initiated with her ultimate, locking onto Ezreal.

Xiaosan wanted to save her E skill for another use, but before Vi's ultimate could land, Lulu's ultimate knocked Ezreal into the air again.

Vi, as a newly released champion, has very high damage in the current version. Just her R followed by QAEA can take away most of Ezreal's health.

What's more, there's a precociously developed big mouth next to him spitting saliva.

Xiaosan only had time to use her barrier, and didn't even have time to use Flash before dying under the tower.

The Leona, who had been trying to escape, sacrificed her life to leave behind a shadow of her desire to leave, but was killed by Kog'Maw under the tower.

In the live stream, netizens started arguing.

[Damn, he actually predicted it.]

[What's the point of this? Top lane still got ganked.]

Indeed, it was anticipated, but not completely.

[A two-for-two trade doesn't seem like a good deal?]

As netizens continued to argue, the director switched the camera to a cut-off shot of Zhou Li.

A voice rang out.

"Uh, this one's mine, I wish it had come sooner."

Zhou Li's next words made Miller and Wawa in the commentary booth widen their eyes.

"It's okay, I deliberately called you two seconds late."

"Huh?" PDD couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

"If you don't give them a chance, how can they tower dive? If they don't tower dive, and Karthus doesn't use his ultimate, won't it be easy for me to have an accident when I tower dive in the bot lane?"

PDD instantly became somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, before this, IG had always played around him.

Zhou Li's actions now are tantamount to using him as bait to sell him out.

If he had called Zita over earlier, he wouldn't have died at all.

He forced back his anger and said:

"You're going a bit too far, aren't you? Are you deliberately selling me out?"

"You still have the nerve to yell?" Zhou Li cursed when he saw PDD was still unconvinced. "If I hadn't warned you this time, you would still have died, right? I did warn you, the crocodile's intention was so obvious, why didn't you flash when he flashed? You didn't even react? If you had flashed, wouldn't you have been able to stall until Zz1tai arrived? Once Zz1tai arrived, wouldn't you have at least managed to get a kill under the tower? I didn't even call you bad, and you're still yelling!"

Zhou Li's outburst left PDD speechless.

Indeed, if you use Flash the instant the crocodile uses Flash, you will still be stunned by the crocodile's red-rage W, but you won't be pushed to the tower by Hecarim. OMG won't be able to deal with their four pieces of trash so easily.

If they adopt this stance, they might actually be able to keep the crocodile.

But PDD still stubbornly insisted:
"Then I'll still die, won't I?"

"So what if you die?" Zhou Li replied casually. "What do you think I sent Zitai up there for? Mainly to help you repair the lane."

He had already maneuvered the big mouth towards the middle lane.

"Bro, he goes to top lane to farm your lane, and I go to mid lane to farm his lane. After we finish farming mid lane and get two kills, I'll recall and buy Blade of the Ruined King in full. Everything is going according to plan."

After he finished speaking, he added:
"Oh right, I didn't ask you to eat the food I provided. I'll eat by myself."

It seems even the director couldn't stand it anymore and switched the camera back to the game.

Viewers in the live stream were completely dumbfounded.

[66666, the world where only the chubby little brother gets hurt has been achieved!]

[I don't understand, so I'm asking: Is this how professional esports teams communicate during matches?]

To be honest, based on this analysis, IG really came out ahead!

This guy is really ruthless; he's a total stress monster.

[Black-hearted? Stress-monger? Zhou Hei Ya?!]

[This is outrageous! A monstrous beast!]

As is widely known, ducks are birds, therefore they are black birds.

Brothers, in my opinion, this Brother Zhou is good at commanding and coordinating, has a good overall perspective, and has quite the leadership qualities. Let's just call him Director Zhou.

[What the hell is Zhou Chu?]

[So it's Director Zhou from the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs!]

When Zhou Li returned to the city and pulled out the Blade of the Ruined King, the game was already over.

With an absolute equipment advantage, Zhou Li saw EZ appear and immediately activated his W skill to unleash a barrage of attacks!
Xiaosan initially wanted to fight back.

After being hit twice by Kog'Maw, he realized he couldn't withstand it and used his E skill to create distance. Spirit, on the other hand, was trying to cover Ezreal and, without thinking, aimed his E skill at Kog'Maw.

This is the first time Leona's E skill has hit Kog'Maw since the start of the match.

The moment Lingyao saw herself fly past, two thoughts popped into her mind.

My first thought was—how come I won with just a random finger this time?

My second thought was—I'm doomed, I'm dead.

This play by Kog'Maw was clearly a deliberate attempt to avoid positioning and get hit by Leona's E!
EZ has both E and Flash, making him obviously difficult to kill.

But Leona is different. When Leona was tower diving just now, she used Flash in order to force Vi to stay in the tower!
At this point, Ruin is still an active effect, dealing damage and slowing down enemy units.

Zhou Li did not rush to hand over the broken pieces.

"Give me an E, keep the W, don't use it to polymorph him. Release him when I tell you to."

Faced with Zhou Li's nanny-like command, Sun Yalong was now in a state of brainstem deficiency, doing whatever Zhou Li told him to do.

Once the slow effect of Kog'Maw's E skill wore off, Zhou Li had Lulu use W to give him a speed boost, followed by Blade of the Ruined King's lifesteal.

With a mouthful of saliva and a mouthful of phlegm, Big Mouth quickly killed the Japanese woman again!

Zhou Li glanced at the location on the minimap and sent a signal to the triangular bush.

"Shadow, stop farming like a madman and come crouch in the tri-bush. If the enemy jungler doesn't come, we'll push down their tower. If the jungler does come, we'll kill him and then push down the tower!"

From the contestant's perspective, Zhou Li's mouth started moving again, which made netizens very anxious.

What is Zhou Chu saying now? Director, cut to the next shot!

[The leaders are already speaking, why haven't you cut the camera yet? I think you, the director, want to quit!]

It has to be said that the director really spoiled the fans at this moment.

Perhaps it's also because there weren't many spectators at this match.

The director actually switched the camera to the players' seats.

Zhou Li then pointed to the spot where the riverbank grass was and said:

"There's no ward in this spot. If you wait here for five seconds, the vision of the triangular bush will disappear in five seconds."

Shadow gaped in astonishment, his mouth agape, and said with a hint of disbelief:

"You know this as well?"

Zhou Li smiled:
"I also know that your Q skill has 4 seconds left."

"My grass!"

The shadow, who had been mostly silent, suddenly burst into profanity.

He glanced at his Q skill cooldown, and it really was four seconds.

"If we're not brothers, how did you know that?"

PDD's hand trembled, and he almost got smashed into four pieces again.

"Isn't it easy to know? I saw him use his Q while farming jungle camps when I switched screens just now."

PDD couldn't help but ask:
Why do you need to remember this?

"I didn't remember it, I just saw it."

The shadow couldn't help but ask again:

"How many seconds is my E skill cooldown?"

"do not know."

Shadow breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed to be just a coincidence; otherwise, he would have really thought the other party was a monster.

Zhou Li then said:
"Your skills are too slow to keep up with my screen switching speed."

Just as Shadow was about to tease Zhou Li, saying, "Brother, you're such a show-off," he heard the other person continue:

"But I know you still have 730 yuan on you, with an error margin of no more than ten yuan."

The shadow paused for a moment, then almost laughed.

He didn't even realize how much money he had left... Damn!

It really is 732 yuan!
"You fucking know that?!"

The shadow's eyes widened, and its voice was already somewhat hoarse.

"What's so difficult about that? I check on you every five seconds on average. I know exactly what you're doing, what jungle monsters you've cleared, how many potions you've bought, and how many wards you've built. Combine that with your assists, your natural gold income, and your items, and you can figure it out in no time, right?" (The jungle monster last-hit count is different in this version than it is now. You can't estimate exactly which jungle camps you've cleared just by looking at the number of last hits.)
PDD was still somewhat skeptical and asked:
"Then I..."

"Fuck you, you've been AFK under the turret by the crocodile for two minutes, all your skills are still active, and you only have 200 gold. You're as bad as a dog on the street. What do you want to ask? By the way, Hecarim hasn't come to the bot lane yet. Good luck."

Zhou Li finished speaking.

Centaur had already appeared behind PDD.

What does it mean to have "unparalleled intelligence"?
Zhou Li had not actually used this ability actively before.

Even with exceptional intelligence, excessive mental exertion can still lead to fatigue.

The teams in Season 2 weren't very strong, and since his teammates at WE were already world-class, he could have easily swept through the competition with sheer skill.

But now, facing these dogs from IG, if we don't show some real strength, these guys will definitely throw the game.

The entire IG voice chat was completely silent.

PDD never made a sound until he died.

Because compared to dying in a game, he now cares more about whether this world is real.

Everyone was in a state of existential doubt.

Not only the IG players, but also the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

【? ? ? ? 】

[No, is this an operation?]

[Mom, am I watching League of Legends or The Brain?]

This is outrageous!

[Who just said I, Director Zhou, work for the Animal Husbandry Bureau? I'm clearly from the Tax Bureau!]

[We're brothers who work at the tax bureau and live at the animal husbandry bureau—no conflict between us.]

[If you don't understand, here's a question: How would Zhou Chu's actions be considered at a professional League of Legends player level?]

[Dude, you lowered the bar for Zhou Chu's actions and raised the bar for professional League of Legends players' intelligence.]

In the commentary booth, Miller and Wawa were still in a daze.

Miller spoke only after the director switched the camera back to the game:

"Well, it's like this. To those who don't watch the games much, we don't need to do this during normal matches or when we're just playing games ourselves."

Seeing the troops appear on the top road, Zhou Li sighed helplessly.

"The centaurs are already on their way, and you're still crouching in the triangular bush? This bastard's still not leaving, come and gank him!!"

"Oh oh oh."

Shadow snapped out of his daze and punched the oblivious Ezreal on the head.

OMG player bench.

Xiaosan scratched her hair in frustration.

"Guys, I can't play bot lane anymore."

Hearing what Kosara said, Goging spoke up:

"It's okay, I'm doing well, it's not a big problem. With our lineup, Yuzi and I can just keep an eye on him during team fights."

Wu Zhuangtai smiled and even had the mood to make a joke.

"What happened? He got completely destroyed by a newbie."

He had a relatively comfortable time in the mid lane during this match.

The enemy Morgana kept pushing the lane, so he camped under the tower to farm minions.

Just let it develop.

But this leisurely life of burying landmines didn't last long.

After the outer turret in the bottom lane was destroyed, Kog'Maw brought Lulu to the mid lane.

What Wu-Zhuangtai never expected was that he just wanted to go up and mess around a bit, using his W to try and hit the mines a couple of times. Kog'Maw, who had the red buff, went crazy and flashed up to attack him!

At this point, Karthus had only bought a pair of straw sandals.

Despite using Flash and being killed by Kog'Maw's various buffs under the tower, even after using Flash, he was still killed by Kog'Maw's attacks!
In the commentary booth, Miller, clearly unfamiliar with such an aggressive style of play, exclaimed:

"My god! That Kog'Maw is too fierce, he just flashed and killed Cool! It's like he doesn't even consider the opponent a human being!"

"Moreover, Karthus died too suddenly this time, and now there's no one in the mid lane to defend the tower!"

Karthus's sudden death was clearly unexpected by everyone at OMG.

Because Morgana had been pushing the lane in the mid lane, the mid lane turret didn't have much health left.

By the time OMG's bot lane duo arrived, the outer mid lane turret had already fallen.

"Take the dragon, then Lulu and I will rotate to top, PDD will lead the team fight, each of us will have three wards, and we'll spread out OMG's entire jungle!"

Under Zhou Li's command, IG quickly completed the lane swap.

Gogoing was still trying to push down IG's top tower in the top lane when he saw Kog'Maw and Lulu already coming out.

The big mouth is developed so well.

Gogoing only managed to clear a wave of towers while tanking Kog'Maw's damage before losing half his health.

"I can't hold this off by myself, we need to catch this big mouth!"
