LPL History

Chapter 128 The Restroom Bible Reappears: EDG's Zhu Kai Returns the Gift (Part 2)

WE originally thought that their detailed teamwork would help WeiXiao establish an advantage in the bottom lane.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the factory manager turned his head, EZ stepped up and started farming minions, looking like he was going to compete with WE's bot lane duo for level 2.

At this moment, WE's bot lane duo had already secured a favorable position, with Curly's Thresh already inside the upper bush.

Seeing EZ and Zyra step forward, he didn't hesitate to use his hook.

Thresh's hook target wasn't Ezreal, who didn't have his E skill at level 1, but rather Tabe's Zyra!
Leaving aside the fact that EZ chose to bring Cleanse when facing WE's all-control lineup.

Regarding positioning, WE has already reviewed the game, and there are quite a few things to note about Zhou Li's positioning.

In comparison, tagging tabbe is a wiser choice.

As expected, Tabe did not disappoint Curly Hair. With a reverse movement, he ran right into Thresh's hook.

"Tabe, are you even human?! You can eat that hook?!"

Tabe said helplessly:
"Brother Zhou, I'm a human being. It's your fancy footwork that's not human."

Hearing Tabe's words, Zhou Li nodded.

"Very good, you're very good at talking. I'll tolerate you for now."

Tae was hooked by Thresh, and Vayne immediately rolled up and hit Zyra.

Curly didn't choose to use the second Q to pull himself up.

Both sides had their level 1 summoner spells available, so a kill was impossible.

If you hook yourself, you're more likely to get countered by Zyra.

However, this seemingly insignificant expenditure actually helped Smile and Curly establish a decisive advantage in securing a 2-0 lead.

"Let it go, let it go."

Zhou Li spoke up.

He wasn't actually in a hurry.

In this situation, it's best to get to level 2 first, but if you can't, staying under the tower is also a good option.

After all, if the jungle is swapped, there's always the risk of being ganked.

Moreover, in this game, his Ezreal was planning to build a Bloodthirster!
Egg Knife, scientifically known as the Spirit of the Lizard Elder.

The total price of 2,400 provides 30 points of attack power and 10% cooldown reduction.

Most importantly, the only passive effect of the Egg Knife is incineration.

The burning effect is equivalent to having a red buff on you all the time.

This item is a perfect fit for Ezreal.

Egg Knife, CD Boots, Iceborn Gauntlet, Ruined King's Blade.

With these four core items, EZ can kite five enemy heroes all by himself.

In fact, the Egg Knife EZ is still quite controversial.

Some people think that Ezreal with the Warglaive of Azzinoth is very strong, while others think that Ezreal with the Warglaive of Azzinoth has insufficient damage output.

Compared to the standard build, the Egg Knife EZ build does lack some damage output.

They even turned the ADC into a QDC.

However, since it's QDC, as long as you can land Q accurately, the damage is still quite considerable.

Furthermore, against WE's lineup and tactics, the Egg Knife EZ is undoubtedly the best choice.

If you're destined to be targeted early on, build a Dagger of the Goddess to protect your development.

In the mid-to-late game, as team fights begin, WE's multiple crowd control abilities, combined with EZ's increased cooldown reduction and tankiness after acquiring Iceborn Gauntlet, allow him to protect himself.

Furthermore, in this match, their mid laner was Orianna and their top laner was Shyvana, both heroes with considerable damage output.

But now he might need to be a little more cunning.

Whether they gain an advantage or not, it doesn't matter. Even if they do, the factories will come and force them into a disadvantageous position.

Zhou Li never doubted the factory's determination to take over the lower-level operations.

Seeing WE's bot lane gain an advantage, the 60e fans instantly became excited.

[I already said it's a hero counter relationship!]

[Did you see that? WeiXiao played Vayne and still crushed ZhouChu's Ezreal!]

[Stop kidding me, Vayne counters Ezreal? What nonsense! EDG's bot lane is obviously letting the lane go because they're afraid of Clearlove ganking.]

[The idiot upstairs, do you even understand the game?!]

[EDG's stupid fans, I never thought there would be animals supporting a team like EDG.]

[Just a random player, a Challenger AD carry in the Chinese server, Vayne easily crushed Ezreal, and the EDG fans upstairs are still trying to defend him, it's hilarious.]

VG Club.

Sima Laozei's face darkened when he saw that he had only posted an objective evaluation, yet he had been attacked by the entire 60e community.

This young, under-sixteen-year-old prodigy AD player has demonstrated exceptional gaming skills, having reached the top rank in the Chinese server's 6th region.

Because he repeatedly made irresponsible comments about how bad professional players were, netizens told him, "If you're so good, why don't you do it yourself?" So he actually did it.

Together with Wei Zhen, he formed their first esports team, "Electric Six Mighty and Domineering", and participated in the APG League that year, achieving good results.

So, due to their outstanding performance in that league, the team was acquired by VG Club, and Smlz began his professional career.

However, besides being a professional player, SMLZ has another identity.

The "bar flower" of the Anti-Pressure Bar.

Sima Laozei is a long-time member of the Anti-Pressure Bar, dislikes washing his hair, uses a 36D avatar, and is revered as the "Bar Flower".

Recently, due to the controversy between EDG and WE, he has also become a fan of EDG.

On the Anti-Pressure Bar, he also had a deep discussion with someone whose ID is "Zhou Li is the future of LPL". Recently, the other party is applying for a position as a moderator.

"These WE fans are fucking idiots! They're supposed to be top-ranked AD carries in the Chinese server, yet they say things like Vayne beats Ezreal."

Sima the Old Thief cursed with a dark face.

At this time, Sima Yi didn't yet have the Sima face he was known for, and his personality was quite lively and cheerful.

What he probably never imagined was that he, as the most popular member of the Anti-Pressure Bar, would become a member of WE's second team in the future.

He might even encounter Shan Ni Ruo, who forced Wei Xiao into retirement, becoming his support.

Wei Zhen, who was watching the game from the side, said with a smile:

"What's wrong with you, Hua? You can only talk nonsense in the Anti-Pressure Bar. Why don't you confront them?"

Sima the Old Thief didn't touch the keyboard, but instead spoke:

"Wait a bit longer, we people in the Anti-Fighting Bar don't play when we're behind."

Wei Zhen smiled and watched the game.

"EDG's bot lane is actually not at a disadvantage. Holy crap, that blind Q hit again! It looks like WE is pressuring EDG, but look at the CS, Zhou Li has two more CS than WeiXiao! And Thresh has been hit by his Q several times, so he is at a disadvantage in terms of health."

Sima the Old Thief launched a sharp critique.

"The Vayne player with the smile is playing poorly; he doesn't dare to go forward and trade blows."

Upon hearing Sima Laozei's words, Wei Zhen burst into laughter.

"Don't fucking talk to me like that. If you're so capable, put it in the chat, bro."

Sima the Old Thief ignored Wei Zhen's teasing and rubbed his hands together.

"My hands are itching so much, I really want to go up and lane against this Lion."

Wei Zhen joked:
"He could beat you so badly your own mother wouldn't recognize you."

Upon hearing Wei Zhen's words, this time Sima, the old scoundrel, surprisingly did not refute them. Instead, he began to think seriously, seemingly trying to figure out how to get beaten up in a way that would still make his mother recognize him.

His eyes suddenly flashed, and he spoke:

"He's starting to stack passives."

Prior to this, EZ would mostly use his Q skill to harass Thresh, who frequently pushed forward to create opportunities.

But now, he hit the minions with three consecutive Qs.

EZ's passive effect is that whenever his skills hit an enemy, he will gain 10% attack speed, which can be stacked up to 50%.

Sima Laozei remembers that Ezreal before Season 2 was even more overpowered, as his W skill could reduce the opponent's attack speed.

The attack speed reduction effect lasts for five seconds, while the skill cooldown is ten seconds. When laning against Ezreal, it means you spend half the time with Exhaust active.

Although Ezreal's W skill has been nerfed in the current version, his skill mechanics mean that he will not become an unpopular ADC.

Seeing Zhou Li begin to stack his passive ability, Sima Yi realized something.

At that moment, WE's bot lane duo had already reached level three.

Thresh, hiding in the bush, immediately hooked Zyra, once again targeting Tabe's Zyra.

Tabe instinctively wanted to use his flower as Thresh's hook, but remembering Zhou Li's instructions, he chose to reposition and try to dodge it.

In the end, I still couldn't twist it.

"Q first, then E!"

Zhou Li's words were concise and clear. As soon as he finished speaking, EZ and Zyra also leveled up to level three.

Thresh had already hooked Zyra, and then used his E skill to pull Zyra closer.

Smile was on guard against Zyra's E skill, so he didn't choose to use Q. However, when he saw Zyra use her Q skill, he subconsciously pressed Q instead.

At this moment, Zyra and Vayne used their E skills almost simultaneously!

Zyra was pinned to the wall by Vayne.

Meanwhile, VN was also bound in place by Zyra.

Fortunately, there were still quite a few blue minions in front of Vayne's position, preventing Ezreal from directly hitting her with his Q.

However, EZ's next move made Smile's eyes widen in astonishment!
The moment EZ raised his Q skill, he immediately used Flash!

This flash allowed EZ to jump over the minions and get right up to Vayne's face!
"Holy crap! Is he that confident? Is that a Q-Flash?!"

Sima Laozei, who was watching the game, was so frightened that his eyes widened.

What surprised him was not just EZ's Q-flash maneuver, but also Zhou Li's somewhat incomprehensible thought process.

What's the point of flashing directly into Vayne's face like that?
Is this a plan to go all-in, leaving no way out?!

EZ's next move left Sima Laozei speechless.

After EZ used his W skill, he immediately used his E skill to jump behind Vayne!
EZ's W skill can provide an attack speed bonus to teammates he encounters.

However, you can't benefit from this bonus yourself.

However, now, EZ used his E skill to jump directly onto his W skill and directly benefited from the speed boost!
Even the usually confident Wei Shen was shocked by this move.

"This guy is so damn confident!"

You have to understand that once EZ jumps to that position, there's absolutely no way out for him!
Zhou Li didn't have the factory manager's perspective, but based on the timeline and his understanding of the factory manager, he was most likely currently with the Four Ghosts.

There's absolutely no time to support the bottom lane.

At this point, Vayne's health had dropped to below half!

Zyra's damage was already very high, and with Ezreal's output, Smile instantly became nervous.

At the same time, the Weakness buffs of both supports were applied to both ADCs almost simultaneously!
However, EZ brought Cleanse, and Thresh's Exhaust effect only flashed briefly on him before being instantly cleansed away by EZ.

Smiling was the only option left.

His only option now is to coordinate with Thresh to focus fire and kill the low-health Zyra first, and then turn around to control Ezreal.

Thresh had already dropped a lantern at his feet. Although this distance was not enough to pull EZ out of his attack range, after getting close to Thresh, Curly immediately adjusted his position to intentionally help Vayne block EZ's Q skill.

Zyra had now broken free from the control effect and, seeing her low health, immediately used Flash.

As soon as Zyra created some distance, EZ behind her immediately became the target of WE's bot lane duo's focused fire.

However, the difference in health between the two ADCs was too great.

EZ was almost at full health, while Vayne's health had dwindled to just two bars.

Although Thresh blocked Vayne's Q skill, Ezreal, who had already stacked his passive, had such high attack speed that Vayne couldn't withstand his basic attacks alone.

And what's even more frustrating is that Vayne and Thresh are stuck in the bush above the inside of the bottom lane, right in front of the red team's turret.

A smile wants to appear, but there's nowhere for it to appear!
In the commentary booth, Miller, watching the fierce battle between the two sides in the bottom lane, couldn't help but speak up:

"VaN's health is in grave danger! It looks like she can't escape! EZ has single-handedly surrounded Thresh and Vayne!!"

On the Edg player bench, Zhou Li, watching Vayne retreating continuously, reminded her:

"Aberdeen, on drugs!"

Tabe was stunned for a moment. He had already moved to the position behind the tower, intending to save as much as possible, but upon hearing Zhou Li's words, he immediately consumed the last health potion.

Knowing he couldn't escape this wave, WeiXiao looked directly at Zyra, who had retreated behind the tower.

Although Tabe had carefully maintained a great distance, he still hadn't expected that Smiling was determined to kill.

Flash into Q!

Vayne was able to move an extremely long distance in an instant!

"Smile has chosen to force a trade with the support! If they can kill Zyra and get First Blood, this will definitely be a win!"

"And Zyra was playing Vayne before! There's a good chance she'll get that kill!"

"Wow!! What a pity! This Zyra was just ten drops of health away!!!"

In the live stream, Vayne's Silver Arrow hit Zyra, instantly turning Zyra's health bar black!

However, only ten drops of blood survived.

However, Vayne was unable to land a second auto-attack and was killed by the turret!
[EDG_tabe (Zhin) has killed WE_wx (Night Hunter)!!]

As news of the kill emerged, Joker breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"The support got the kill, so it's not a loss for them."

Tabe looked at his remaining ten health points with lingering fear. Luckily, Zhou Li reminded him to use a health potion, otherwise he would have been killed by Vayne's empowered auto-attack.

Meanwhile, EZ and Thresh were still locked in combat.

Thresh is currently in a state where he can neither go up nor down.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and run towards home.

fzzf tried to dodge EZ's Q skill while escaping.

But every time he moved, it felt like he deliberately went up to take a Q.

Even after using Flash, he was still killed under the tower by EZ's Q skill!
Watching EZ take down Thresh, Wawa exclaimed in amazement:
"Wow! WE's bot lane is in chaos! They got a lane kill right away, with Zyra and Ezreal each taking down a kill!"

Joker thought for a moment and then offered some words of comfort:
"Well, this wave was alright. It wasn't a huge loss, considering that Vayne's first blood was secured by the support. Smile handled the situation perfectly in this laning phase."

Upon hearing Joker's words, Miller couldn't help but retort:
"Ah, isn't this a huge loss? Although Zyra got the first blood, it was a 2-for-0 exchange. And even though Zyra is a support, her damage is very high once she gets her items."

The child chimed in:
"To be honest, I feel that Lion was too brave this time. While everyone was still in the probing stage, he just came up and played all his cards. It's like you've only played a 3 in a game of Dou Dizhu, and he immediately plays a royal flush and a straight flush! How are you supposed to play against that? He's too confident! That Q-flash to the face, then E-skill to jump behind Vayne and Thresh and surround both of them by himself, it's too outrageous!"

When the two commentators began to give a fair assessment of EDG's play, the 60e fans in the audience quickly became dissatisfied.

They swore excitedly and offered friendly greetings to the families of the EDG players.

At this moment, the factory manager looked at the two dead players in the bottom lane, and the veins on his forehead throbbed wildly.

You should know that he was originally planning to fight the four ghosts, but when he saw the fight starting in the bottom lane, he rushed over immediately.

But it was still too late.

Smile and Curly Hair were thus utterly and spectacularly killed off by the line.

Moreover, EZ controlled this wave of minions in front of the tower, so he couldn't even get a taste of the minions.

"Come sooner! If you come sooner, you'll have killed them all!"

A smiling voice rang out.

The factory manager opened his mouth but no sound came out; however, his mouth clearly formed the words "idiot."

What's even more frustrating for the factory manager is that with the bottom laner being killed, it means he's unlikely to be able to control EDG's bottom jungle, which is about to spawn.

EZ has already bought a Sheen after returning to base, which has significantly boosted his combat power.

Meanwhile, the Crystal Maiden player in the mid lane of their team actually found themselves at a disadvantage against Clockwerk.

If he recklessly enters the enemy's jungle, Clearlove is certain he'll be doomed.

In fact, at this point, EDG was also hoping that Clearlove would continue to invade their jungle.

So they set up their vision early on, and Lucky had already arrived in the lower half of the bracket.

Meanwhile, the factory manager was already heading towards his own upper section.

He knew that EDG started their jungle attack from the top half of his base.

But now there is a crucial problem.

That means Dragon Girl's mother has disappeared online!

A Dragon Girl with Smite has disappeared from the online game. Can you guess where she is?
When the factory manager arrived, he saw the Dragon Girl beating his three wolves.

He could only call for teammates to support him while using his skills to whittle down their health.

The key point is that he doesn't dare to use Smite to steal the three wolves, because the blue buff is about to respawn. If he uses Smite now, it will be like handing the blue buff over to someone else.

Shyvana's Q skill gave him a higher kill threshold, and he devoured the three wolves right in front of Clearlove, then activated his speed boost and ran away.

The factory manager hates thieves more than anything in his life.

Thus began his stalking of the dragon girl.

Zhou Li glanced at the screen, tapped the map, and said:

"Head towards the middle road."

Then, changing the subject, he launched into a tirade against Lu Benwei:
"Ah Wei, what are you doing? The Ice Maiden is nowhere to be found, aren't you going to go check?! I'll fuck your mother!"

If Shyvana goes to the top lane, she's doomed. Nautilus is clearly already close in, and Lissandra's E can even go through walls to provide support.

However, if they head towards the middle lane, Titan will clearly not be able to reach them in time.

Although Ruofeng arrived in time, he also managed to immobilize the Dragon Girl using his W skill.

However, the damage from the Spider and the Ice Maiden alone is clearly not enough.

Orianna throws out a ball, using her W ability to slow down Shyvana and help her escape.

The factory manager was seething with anger, but there was nothing he could do but turn back and attack his own blue buff.

However, just as the battle was about to end, a blue light suddenly shone!
It turned out that the low-health Dragon Girl had returned. He had already placed vision at the Blue Buff location, and with a Smite, he directly stole the Blue Buff.

The factory manager instantly felt his blood pressure rise.

Meanwhile, Ruofeng, who was in the middle lane, was unaware of what had happened and spoke up:

"Promise, give me the next blue buff."

The factory manager had a dark expression on his face.

"I don't even have any myself, what can I give you?"

He then ran towards the lower jungle area.

At this point, WE's bottom lane was completely dominated by EDG.

As Ezreal and Zyra level up, Vayne and Thresh will face increased pressure in their lanes. What's more, they've already given away two kills.

Once Zyra gets her flower, Thresh will have virtually no chance of hooking her.

You don't need to move at all; you can simply use the flower to block Thresh's hook.

With the addition of Sheen, Ezreal's damage increases exponentially.

Zhou Li didn't use Q on the smiling Vayne much, but instead focused more on Thresh.

Vayne has her Q skill, which makes it easier to dodge skills, and the current Vayne has virtually no combat ability.

When EDG pushed the minion wave to WE's tower, Thresh's health was already very low.

"How come this person's Q is so accurate!"

Curly couldn't help but complain.

No matter how he positioned himself, the enemy EZ's Q skill seemed to have eyes and would always target him.

"You need to be more careful with your positioning!"

His smile was clearly starting to look a bit rough.

He glanced at the factory manager's position and saw that the manager was already fighting the four ghosts, and said:

"Let's take a look, Nuoyan. None of them have two summoner spells this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, EZ and Zyra suddenly moved and headed towards Mingkai's jungle.

The factory manager doesn't need to come to them.

It seems they're going to see the factory manager!

Outside of vision, Lucky's Jarvan IV was moving together with EDG's bot lane duo.

When the factory manager saw that EDG's bot lane duo had entered his jungle, he very cautiously placed a ward in the red buff bush.

Then I saw the prince attacking his own red buff.

What's even more disgusting is that he used his Smite while attacking the blue buff, so there's no way he can steal the red buff.

So he could only continue downwards to attack his own stone golem.

Halfway through the fight, EDG seemed to have guessed Clearlove's location, and Jarvan IV planted the Demacian flag directly on the Malphite, creating vision.

Zyra and Ezreal unleashed their skills together, and Ezreal stole the Malphite again.

The factory manager is now in serious trouble.

After clearing my own jungle, I only managed to get one of the four ghosts!
How the hell do we play this?!
In the commentary booth, Miller couldn't help but feel sorry for the factory manager as he was repeatedly invaded by enemy forces.

"Nuoyan is in a bad situation right now. EDG keeps invading his jungle, and the key is that the other WE players can't provide him with much help. After clearing this jungle, he only managed to get four ghosts. To be honest, if I were jungling, I wouldn't even want to play anymore. It's too difficult!"

The factory manager is now completely lost.

Having played professionally for so long, this was the first time he had ever gotten so lost while jungling that he didn't know what to do next.

Seven minutes later, the factory manager finally called in the top laner, Nautilus, and launched a gank on the mid lane, forcibly eliminating Lu Benwei's Orianna and opening up some opportunities.

However, Titan's support directly led to the factory manager's upper half of the map once again becoming a monster-spawning cage for Shyvana.

And when the game had progressed to the eleventh minute...

The equipment inventory of the EDG players stunned everyone.

Miller rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things, and said:

"What's going on? I thought it was a display bug! Did EDG build four jungle items?!"

Aside from the support player, the other four EDG players' equipment at this moment was as follows:

Dragon Girl's Egg Knife.

Wind-up egg cap.

Prince's Egg Knife.

EZ Egg Knife.

By this time, Shyvana's equipment was already incredibly good, and the top laner, Nautilus, couldn't do anything about her.

In addition, with the Dragon Girl already having her ultimate at level six, entering WE's jungle is like returning to her own home.

Of course, he would occasionally return to his top half of the map to soak up the refreshed red buff and golems.

Their lane clearing ability is fast, and they will sneak into Clearlove's jungle whenever they have a chance, causing WE's top half of the map to fall completely.

The leading economy has 700 more clocks than the second-ranked economy.

The reason why Orianna's economy ranks second is because her own four wraiths, three wolves, and blue buff, including WE's four wraiths, are all left for Orianna to farm alone.

This makes his economy even better than EZ's.

However, this is where the problem arises.

Shyvana and Orianna have cleared the jungle, what should Lucky do?
Lucky is in the bottom half of the bracket, dragging the factory manager along for a crazy self-destruction spree!!

He doesn't jungle himself, but you, Clearlove, shouldn't even think about jungling either.

Compared to a prince, who is an angel, if neither of them jungles, the prince is obviously more likely to gain an advantage.

The jungle monsters in the area have already been allocated and distributed by EDG.

The factory manager didn't have many skills to begin with.

But even if you fight a red or stone-hot enemy, this prince will keep bothering you.

Once the prince discovers his whereabouts, the Ezreal and Zyra duo in the bot lane will follow closely behind.

EDG's advantage in all three lanes means they can always provide support much faster than WE!

The factory manager was playing around with it when he felt like his brain was about to explode.

Wasn't this match supposed to be a battle of titans between the bot lane AD carries, and a revenge match for the world's number one ADC, Smile?

Why does it feel like the whole world is targeting me now?
Mingkai didn't provoke anyone!
This game was nothing more than him peeking into the bottom lane at the start of the game and glancing at Zhou Li.

Is this the kind of retaliation we deserve?

That idiot bot laner is still barking like a dog:
"Promise, come gank bot lane."

Does he not understand the situation?

Who is arresting whom now?
In the commentary booth, Miller looked at EDG's item build and Clearlove, who was being squeezed out of any chance of survival, and said:

"Wow! Is this a new item build that EDG has come up with? I've seen the Egg Knife EZ before, but your Egg Hat Orianna... it's really something, it feels really useful! Right now, the first, second, and third place in the overall gold rankings are all EDG's Shyvana Orianna and EZ! It doesn't look like there have been many kills, but you can see that the gold difference between the two sides has reached more than 6,000!"

The child spoke:

"The key is that you need to be active in lane! If you're picking a Titan or a Crystal Maiden, you need to be active in lane!"

Miller analyzed:
"The key is that they can't move! Shyvana's wave clear speed in the top lane is just too fast. Nautilus's minion wave is always in front of the tower. He has actually sacrificed many waves of minions to support, but his legs are still too short! As for Ruofeng's Lissandra, we can see that White has chosen to use his ultimate directly to force a combo when he sees Lissandra. Many times we can see that she has no health left to kill, but this Orianna keeps doing this. I just realized that he is actually trying to keep suppressing Lissandra's health and minion wave, so as not to give Lissandra the opportunity to roam and support!"

"But you're too slow to react now! By the time you realize the problem and notice those strange things, the situation is already like this! The factory manager is in a lot of trouble now! He can't even reach level six!"

After listening to Miller and Doll's anxious discussion for a long time, Joker finally spoke:

"Actually, I think the current situation is not a loss for WE."

Joker's single sentence silenced Miller and Doll.

With an economic difference of nearly 7,000 in eleven minutes, can you still say you didn't lose out?!

You're really something else.

Joker continued his analysis:
“We see that EDG is now focusing all their efforts on countering Elise. But actually, Elise isn't the core of WE's lineup! And compared to EDG's lineup, WE's lineup has more room to maneuver in the late game. Being slightly behind in gold in the early game is perfectly acceptable, the main thing is to ensure Vayne's development isn't affected.”

The director probably heard what Joker said, so he switched the camera to the bottom lane.

EZ has already beaten Vayne by almost 20 CS.

Meanwhile, Vayne was under the tower.

Tabe had clearly gained confidence and stepped forward to start trading blows with Vayne.

At this point, the smile was clearly distorted due to the immense pressure.

He dodged and weaved, but ended up getting hit by all the skills.

Zyra's damage was already very high at this point, and she directly forced Vayne to use her Barrier.

Seeing Vayne's health, Zhou Li's Ezreal immediately used his E to dash forward and unleash a basic attack!
Vayne's health was reduced to just one bar.

They also tricked Vayne into using her Q skill.

At that moment, the next wave of minions was moving towards the tower.

Smiling and blushing, she followed the minion wave, trying to return to the tower.

However, at this moment, EZ suddenly used his Q skill.

EZ's Mystic Shot grazed the first minion's face and struck Vayne from the side!
"Oh!!!"

An incredulous gasp erupted from the crowd!

[EDG_lion (Explorer) has killed WE_wx (Night Hunter)!!]

Wow!! That was a Q!

Miller's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shout:

"What a cunning Q-manipulation move!!"

Meanwhile, after clearing the upper jungle, Shyvana went straight to the mid lane.

With the help of Orianna's ultimate, they forcibly killed Ruofeng's low-health Crystal Maiden under the tower in one combo.

Miller and Doll didn't speak, but instead looked at the Joker.

They wanted to know what Joker planned to say next.

"Well, this is a bit upsetting. To be honest, this move didn't really make us any money."

Miller's eyes widened.

He felt that he had truly learned something.

This move definitely didn't make any money.

You can't say there's something wrong with what he said just because he said it's not profitable!

With kills secured in the mid and bottom lanes, EDG was able to push down the outer turrets in the mid and bottom lanes.

Joker frowned as he observed the situation on the field and said:

"That push on the bottom tower... I feel like the factory manager is in even more pain now, he can't even get into the bottom half of the map anymore, that's a bit of a loss."

The economic gap between the two sides has reached nearly 10,000.

Miller and the doll thought to themselves:
"As expected of a veteran esports commentator, his commentary is truly top-notch."

At this moment, the WE players' bench was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

There were no more complaints in the team voice chat; only the calm before the storm remained.

The factory manager remained silent, giving the impression that he was giving up.

In fact, it makes no difference whether he slacks off or not, because he's already rotten.

But the factory manager felt that what he ruined wasn't the jungle, but the entire game.

His teammates, on the other hand, were rotten from head to toe.

The factory manager believed he hadn't made any mistakes in this game.

But the enemy kept invading our jungle for no apparent reason.

My online teammates are like dead men; they can never provide any support.

The bottom laner kept calling for him to go.

Look at that old woman rolling around on the ground, she's practically sweeping away all the dust in the canyon with her cloak.

After rolling around for ages, I'm exhausted just from clearing the minion wave.

And that Crystal Maiden in the mid lane, playing Crystal Maiden and not being able to get lane priority against Orianna, is that even human?
The match wasn't over yet, and the factory manager was already daydreaming.

If he had teammates like EDG, he wouldn't have played like this.
At 13 minutes, EDG destroyed WE's outer top lane turret.

In eighteen minutes, WE lost all three lanes and two towers, and immediately switched to defending their high ground.

At 21 minutes, EZ pulled out Iceborn Gauntlet, Blade of the Ruined King, and three other items.

WE thought they had found an opportunity, and four of them chased after EZ, but EZ kited them and even killed one of them.

At 24 minutes, the WE team witnessed for the first time the terrifying damage of Shenchao's Dragon Girl.

The Dragon Girl used her ultimate to enter the fray, and together with Orianna's ultimate, they instantly melted WE. They then flashed and chased down Vayne, killing her in three hits.

At 25 minutes, WE began to protect Athena.

Ruofeng proposed a conceptual assumption of surrender, which was rejected by Xiaoxiao.

At 27 minutes, EDG secured the Baron Nashor.

WE forced a team fight and scored a 1-for-5 exchange.

Vayne secured the kill on Shyvana.

In the commentary booth, Joker exclaimed that Smile was about to take off.

In the live stream, EDG had already destroyed WE's base in one fell swoop.

Amidst a chorus of curses, WE was once again defeated by EDG!
-
WE Lounge.

Abu watched as the WE team walked in, his face ashen.

"What's wrong with you guys?! Fighting like this again, are you trying to make a fool of yourselves?!"

He looked at the factory manager and continued:

"Didn't we have a strategy planned before the game? Why did it turn out like this? Do you guys have any rhythm at all? Did you execute even a fraction of the pre-game strategy? Mingkai, what are you doing? You were sleepwalking the whole game."

When Abu mentioned himself, Mingkai shrugged.

"The enemy prince is in our jungle, why is he going to the tower?"

"The bot lane keeps calling me to go, but how am I supposed to go? They keep invading my jungle!"

Seeing that no one was speaking, Curly tried to speak up:
"I feel like there's something wrong with the draft picks; they're at a disadvantage in lane..."

No sooner had Curly-haired finished speaking than another voice rang out.

"You guys have completely forgotten how to play this game."

"In my opinion, talking about draft picks now is pointless! What's the point of discussing draft picks now? Will it even help if we go in with a draft pick? We'll lose no matter what we choose!"

"Your calmest smiles make me think your mindset is off today."

"The five of you who are on stage now! In my opinion, none of you know how to play this game!"

"It's time to wake up!"

"What are you thinking about!"

"If EDG can't even get past this, what are they talking about for the World Championship!"

The words were powerful and resounding, causing the WE members to lower their heads in shame.

Only Abu looked at the person at the door with a puzzled expression and asked in surprise:

"Who are you?!"

Upon hearing Abu's words, the WE team members finally realized that the voice was completely unfamiliar to them, so they all looked up.

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood at the door, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"Who are you?!"

Abu couldn't help but ask again.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the person at the door coughed and turned to leave.

Abu stood up, walked to the door, and saw that the other person had already taken off running.

"Who the hell is this?! Are you crazy?! Staff! Where are the staff?!"
-
EDG Lounge.

Zhu Kai burst through the door, panting heavily.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he chuckled twice.

"Damn Zhou, we almost got caught."

Zhou Li walked forward with a smile.

"Did you take the picture?"

Zhu Kai took out his phone.

"Caught it."

Zhu Kai was originally a fan of IG, but was directly promoted to manager of EDG by Zhou Li.

Because he doesn't usually show his face in public, WE and the others don't know him yet.

Zhou Li was already admiring Zhu Kai's photographic results.

After the match ended, he noticed that Shi Ji was trembling somewhat restlessly.

This usually foreshadows the birth of another timeless classic.

Because WE is now quite wary of him, Zhou Li directly sent Zhu Kai, who has hardly ever shown his face, over there.

Listening to the Bible playing on his phone, Zhou Li couldn't help but laugh.

My guess was right.

But then, Zhu Kai's voice rang out again.

Listening to Zhu Kaiyi's stern reprimand of the WE players, even making them feel ashamed and lower their heads, Zhou Li couldn't hold back any longer and couldn't help but speak up:

"Xiao Zhu, why are you adding your own drama?"

Zhu Kai chuckled twice.

"It's not because Brother Zhou taught me well, I just suddenly got the hang of it."

Zhou Li patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder:

“Well done. Log in to my Weibo, upload this video, and write the caption: ‘The Reasonable Team has always been committed to maintaining a harmonious ecosystem among LPL teams. A special envoy was dispatched to mediate internal conflicts within WE and achieved remarkable success.’”

Zhu Kai nodded excitedly, then took out five bottles of Red Bull from his pocket and distributed them to the EDG team.

Lu Benwei couldn't help but ask:

Where did this Red Bull come from?

"I got it from the WE lounge."

Zhou Li asked:
"Did you give money?"

"No."

Zhou Li's face turned cold.

"This is unacceptable; it violates the rules of propriety."

He turned around and took a few bottles of Nongfu Spring water from the table, thought for a moment, put them back, and then took five bottles of Ice Dew.

"Give this to them, it's a matter of reciprocity."
