LPL History

Chapter 144 Zhou Lang's execution: three blows and he goes berserk; Teng Yang and Tianxia's two unarmed men...
With Zhou Li securing another double kill in the bottom lane, SKT's bottom lane laning phase was effectively over.

At the same time, Benji also found an opportunity in the mid lane, and together with Gragas, killed Fizz who did not have Flash.

After killing someone in the mid lane, the jungler and mid laner didn't choose to recall. Instead, they went directly to the top lane and, with the help of the jungler, killed Zac in the top lane.

They managed to regain some momentum in a short period of time.

SKT's decision was actually not problematic.

Draven's development is now becoming unstoppable.

EDG will definitely try their best to protect Draven.

At this stage, trying to cause trouble for Draven could backfire and send him flying if not handled properly.

Instead of doing that, it's better to look for mid-to-high-level opportunities.

Draven, this short-legged champion, is destined to have a very low margin for error.

Although SKT currently has no way to deal with Draven, once team fights begin...

It's much easier to find opportunities to target Draven in chaotic team fights than to forcefully target him like this.

The murderous sword Draven carries is a ticking time bomb.

Zhou Li's absolute advantage in the bottom lane allowed Clearlove to take the dragon without any pressure.

After cutting off several waves of minions, Zhou Li chose to return to base.

He pulled the Blood-Drinking Sword from his crotch.

On the way down the lane, he casually took Mingkai's blue buff.

With a Killer Sword, a Bloodthirster, and a Blue Buff, Draven's perpetual motion machine is ready to go!
Watching Draven take away Mingkai's blue buff after he'd spent so long attacking it with a single axe, the viewers in the live stream finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Holy crap, the blue buff is given to the ADC too? What kind of insane treatment is this?!

How could Lu Benwei and the factory manager tolerate this?

[He's the boss, would Lu Benwei and the factory dare utter a single word?]

Indeed, it's obvious; this game was purely a four-man carry game.

This Draven is completely carried by his teammates; I could do it too.

[EDG can win with just one fed Draven? What a trash team, just grabbing a World Championship spot to please the boss, huh?]

[Both outer turrets have fallen, why aren't you going mid and instead showing off in bot lane?]

At this moment, Zhou Li was near SKT's bottom lane outer turret, holding the lane and spinning his axe.

Following the normal pace, once both the top and bottom outer towers are destroyed, it's indeed possible to group up and pressure the mid lane.

If EDG can destroy the outer mid-lane turret, they can easily establish vision control in SKT's jungle.

However, this actually completely reduces the development space for the little fish.

Fizz doesn't have Flash right now, so sending him to split push in the side lane would put him under a lot of pressure.

If Zhou Li continues to play in the bottom lane, his Flash and Cleanse are already ready, and he'd really love if SKT targeted him.

Although SKT's bot lane duo now has two summoner spells, they are currently useless.

If they want to catch me, one prince isn't enough; they also need the mid-lane Gragas to come over.

When Faker assisted Jarvan IV in killing Fizz in the mid lane, he had already used his ultimate and Flash.

If SKT really dares to come, Zhou Li is willing to 2v4 in the bottom lane.

If he doesn't come, then he can push the minion wave into the second tower. With his current equipment, he can take down Sona in two hits and Corki in three hits, and then dive the tower and take down the bottom lane's second tower.

Keep in mind that Sona hasn't even reached level six yet.

Looking at Draven stuck in the lane, Piglet felt angry, anxious, and helpless.

A profound sense of humiliation constantly enveloped him.

This game was truly one where the opposing team treated us like pigs to be slaughtered.

Faker glanced at his skills and said:

"Can we take the weapon down? Let's take a look at Draven together with the prince."

He knew that if he rashly tried to grab Draven without the necessary skills, it would be tantamount to handing him a free kill.

But weapons are different.

This weapon is very well developed, and Professor Oak also has two moves.

Furthermore, Jax's Counter Strike is very effective against auto-attack-based ADCs like Draven.

Upon hearing Faker's words, Daiki nodded.

"Ok!"

Faker started pushing the lane, preparing to go to the top lane to farm, while DaMu went straight to the bottom lane after recalling.

"SKT is really smart! They sent Jax directly to find Draven!! EDG saw the vision of Jarvan IV, but Lion didn't seem to be leaving! He probably thinks he can handle 2v3 with his current items! But there's Jax hiding behind him, which is a bit dangerous!!"

Just as Draven and Thresh pushed two waves of minions into the tower, Jarvan IV's EQ combo had already swarmed in from the side!

Wow! What kind of reaction speed is that?!

Jeon Yongjun stared wide-eyed at the live stream in disbelief!

"Draven instantly activated W, using his positioning to completely dodge Jarvan IV's EQ combo!!"

This scene, which seems absurd to outsiders, is not difficult for Zhou Li.

Firstly, he had already seen the prince's gaze beforehand, so he was already on guard.

Secondly, the [Darkborn] ability allowed Zhou Li to improve his hand speed, reaction speed, and other attributes through continuous kills.

Seeing that Draven had dodged his EQ combo, Benji didn't give up and immediately used his ultimate.

Curly's Thresh immediately used Flash, and then threw a lantern at Zhou Li's feet.

"Fuck you, how the hell am I supposed to light your lantern if you put it in the middle of the enemy ranks?!"

Because of his reverse movement, Draven is now within the turret's attack range, making it impossible for him to retaliate.

Furthermore, Zhou Li had already seen the weapon master who had come from online.

Curly's stupid lantern couldn't be lit, so Zhou Li had no choice but to use his Flash.

"Chase chase chase!"

Piglet shouted anxiously in the voice message.

Mr. Oki handled this situation with great skill.

He didn't choose to use Flash directly and then use his Q skill to leap and attack Draven's face.

Because he didn't see Draven use his E skill, if he jumped in directly, he would likely be pushed away by Draven's E skill.

Therefore, Da Mu's choice is to first use Q on the minions, and then activate Counter Strike!
In this way, he can choose to use Flash to stun Draven at any time, and the initiative is in his hands.

However, Zhou Li held onto his E skill tightly and refused to let go. Da Mu found an opportunity, flashed to end Counter Strike, and stunned Draven on the spot.

Zhou Li did not choose to give up his purification.

Because he saw that Sona had reached level six after farming the minions!

Using Cleanse at this point will only allow Sona's ultimate to continue controlling you!

PoohMandu was clearly very experienced. After seeing Draven stunned, he didn't use his ultimate, wanting to wait for Draven to use Cleanse first!
WE Esports Club.

"Holy crap!!! Impact! Kill Zhou Li!!!"

Shan Ni Ruo's desperate shouts startled Ruofeng and the others.

In the live stream, Teacher DaMu is hammering Zhou Li's Draven with a stick.

He didn't realize there was a problem at first.

After all, Draven was under Sona's weakened state.

poohmandu wanted to use weakness to force Draven to use Purify, but Zhou Li just wouldn't hand it over!

Once the weakness ended and the weapon of Counter Strike was gone, he quickly realized that his damage was not on the same level as Draven's at all!

Although Da Mu's development is quite good, he still hasn't acquired any armor.

Draven, wielding a twelve-layered Killing Sword and a Bloodthirster, slashed at the weapon as if he were cutting a major artery!
"Holy crap! What is that damage?! What is Sona doing?! Sona, use your ultimate!!!"

Seemingly sensing the desperate cries of Yama Niwa, PoohMandu finally unleashed his ultimate move!

"Nice! Holy crap, the purification worked instantly!!"

"What is Zhou Li doing! This is fucking hurting a human being!!"

Both sides were focusing on building up their Summoner Spells, but Zhou Li's absolute advantage in equipment and level gave him the upper hand.

After Sona's ultimate was instantly dispelled by Draven's Cleanse, Draven grabbed two axes and started hacking at the weapon's face!

The prince, having lost his skills, still had to walk over.

But seeing that Draven had crippled the weapon with just two strikes, he quickly turned around and went back.

Zhu Rang's plane was dealing damage with all its might, but the damage it dealt to Zhou Li was less than what Draven's Bloodthirster absorbed!

Draven, who was already at half health, suddenly started to regenerate health.

It looks like the plane's basic attack is healing Draven!
"Wow! Will the plane hurt the passenger?!"

"That Piglet plane! It's your mother's supply plane!"

The weapon is the most durable one on SKT's side.

Draven landed four auto attacks and then his ultimate to finally kill the weapon.

But the next three were practically no different from tofu in front of Draven!
Under Zhou Li's instructions, Curly's Thresh originally wanted to use his hook weapon to save Zhou Li.

However, Zhou Li never even considered whether or not to save her.

From the moment the weapon jumped up, all he could think about was killing a few people! So Zhou Li told Curly to save his skills and even had him take the lead!

Curly-haired Thresh used his Q skill to hook the Prince who had turned around!

"Go for it!!"

Hearing Zhou Li's shout, Curly Hair no longer hesitated, used his second Q to move forward, and at the same time used his E skill to pull Corki and Sona, and then used his ultimate!

Draven's throwing axe spun in the air!
Four more strikes, and the clumsy prince was killed beneath the tower!
Draven can keep using W as long as he catches the axe.

With the blue buff in Zhou Li's hands, Draven's movement speed is essentially constantly accelerating!
At that moment, three axes flew simultaneously beneath SKT's second tower!

The plane couldn't take it after only two blows from the axe.

Piglet pressed W to retreat, but was interrupted by Draven's E skill!
"Holy crap! They saved their E skill for this?!"

The interruption even stunned Zhu Rang for a moment, and then he was hit by an axe, which immediately brought him to his senses, and he immediately used Flash.

The planes have created some distance, and the remaining Sona is in big trouble.

Although he used Flash, he was slowed down by Thresh's ultimate and was caught up by Draven, who slammed him down with three axe blows!
Sona died instantly, and the damage even exceeded the limit!

The Killing Sword has eighteen levels!
At this moment, Zhou Li's eyes were fixed on only the last airplane!

With the significant speed boost, even aircraft couldn't escape the ruthless executioner's slaughter!

"My God! Lion! He's gone berserk!! The plane still wants to escape! Where do you think you're going?! One strike! Instant kill!!"

Quadra kill!!

The Murder Sword, level 20!!
"boom!!"

The audience erupted in deafening screams, as if they were about to lift the dome off the stage!

Inside the WE training room.

Shan Ni Ruo's face turned deathly pale instantly!

"Holy crap!! SKT, what the hell are you guys doing?!"

The last few words were even tinged with sobs.

The WE team was shocked by Zhou Li's quadra kill, just as they were shocked by Shan Ni Ruo's miserable state.

EDG does have a deep-seated grudge against WE, but what does that have to do with you, Shan Ni Ruo?

"Piggy, are you really that into the story?"

Smiling, she couldn't help but ask a question.

It's worth noting that Shan Ni Ruo had only been with WE for less than a month.

This kid came to WE to fill the vacancy left by Clearlove's departure and play jungle.

All those past grievances and grudges had absolutely nothing to do with Shan Ni Ruo.

However, judging from Shan Ni Ruo's current support for SKT, his hatred for Zhou Li is palpable.

Upon hearing Wei Xiao's words, Shan Ni Ruo gave an awkward smile.

"Ah, I, Teng Yangtianxia, ​​have always considered WE as my own home."

Strawberry couldn't help but speak up:

"To be honest, every time I hear your name I want to complain. It's hard to imagine that someone's real name would be Teng Yang Tianxia."

If someone's online name is Teng Yang Tianxia, ​​but their real name is Shan Ni Ruo, then that's a good job.

However, if someone's online name is Shan Ni Ruo, but their real name is Teng Yang Tian Xia, then that can only be called a unique skill.

Shan Ni Ruo, who is usually very lively, was not in the mood to interact with the teasing about strawberries at this moment, and just sighed.

"Is Zhou Li really that good? I thought SKT had it in the bag. That quadra kill, that twenty stacks of the Bloodthirster, two hits and he's dead. It felt like the game was over!"

Shan Niruo's eyes were dull.

Something was lost.

Korean commentary booth.

The two female hosts were making the same movements at that moment.

They all stared wide-eyed, covered their mouths with their hands, and made some strange, indistinct noises.

Wow! A complete pizza!

Jeon Yongjun drowned out the sounds of the two female hosts who were too shocked by his own cries.

"This Draven is so unfair!! SKT is in a tough spot now! Four against two, and they got four killed... Wow! What are they going to do?"

Kim Dong-jun said anxiously;

"We have to wait for Faker! We absolutely have to wait for Faker! We'll only have a chance if Gragas's ultimate knocks him over! In the next five minutes! During the five minutes before Draven's Flash is ready again, SKT has to find an opening! Otherwise, it feels like they have absolutely no chance of fighting back head-on!"

After a long period of shock, Zhao Enjing couldn't help but ask:
"Was this hero really that strong?"

Upon hearing Zhao Enjing's words, Li Xianjing subconsciously chimed in:

"This hero is rarely seen in professional matches. The reason it's so strong is because that guy is playing it..."

Zhao Enjing said with a smile, "This Lion? I noticed him as soon as he appeared. He stands out among the e-sports players."

"Cough cough."

Jeon Yong-jun coughed.

The two female hosts were brought over to cheer on SKT, but why are they suddenly praising the LPL?

The two of them also had a clear division of labor.

One of them is good at boasting.

One of them boasted that he was handsome.

Somewhat too much.

SKT players' bench.

Faker, who likes to switch screens back and forth, lingered for the first time on Draven, who was recalling after pushing down the second turret in the bottom lane.

Prior to this, he had never paid much attention to this newcomer.

Although Lee Sang-hyeok is very humble in his behavior, he is always arrogant when it comes to games.

There's absolutely no need to speculate or doubt.

Only those who are absolutely confident in their gaming skills can climb to such a high position.

This is why a professional player's personality and mentality are extremely important.

The headphones were filled with the noisy complaints of my teammates.

But Lee Sang-hyeok didn't listen to what they were saying at all.

The Draven was playfully swinging his axe.

It was as if he didn't care about anyone at all.

He glanced at his CD and said:

"Wait for my Flash, then find an opportunity to catch him."

Draven's burst damage is terrifying right now. With 20 stacks of the Bloodthirster, he provides a whopping 110 attack damage and 15% movement speed.

And who knows what they'll pull out this time they go home.

With its high damage output and the lifesteal effect of Bloodthirster, the only way to kill this Draven is to use a burst of crowd control to lock him down while his summoner spells are on cooldown!

Otherwise, if Draven is given a chance to fight back, even if he is low on health, he will probably be fully healed by the end of the team fight.

Zhou Li had already returned to the city by this time.

He glanced at the store.

He's currently only fifty dollars short of his current financial situation, which would allow him to directly acquire an Infinity Blade.

In a normal ranked match, Zhou Li would definitely choose Infinity Edge.

With Infinity Edge, Draven can truly one-shot a squishy target with a critical hit.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately gave up on the idea.

Instead, he chose to first upgrade the boots into attack speed boots, then buy a Mercury's Treads and finally a pickaxe.

While the Endless Strike is powerful, he currently has neither of his skills available, so if he dies, the damage will be immense.

Meanwhile, Curly Hair, who had been following Zhou Li and drinking soup, finally managed to squeeze out his crucible.

With two debuffs providing double protection, Zhou Li finally set off for the mid-lane battlefield.

SKT's bot lane duo is no longer able to defend their towers head-on against Zhou Li.

What does it mean that Sona has successfully gone from being a three-hit heroine to a two-hit heroine?
Sona just goes up and uses her Q skill, and he dies.

So even though EDG only had Zhou Li and Curly in the mid lane, SKT responded quickly. In addition to having Jax split push in the bottom lane, Gragas and the bottom lane duo were clearing the wave behind the tower, while Bengi was crouching with a control ward.

This is probably SKT's last chance.

WE Club.

Shan Ni clenched his fists nervously.

"This is going to happen! This Zhou Li is being way too arrogant! He doesn't have Cleanse or Flash, so why does he dare to push the tower like that!"

"Faker! Is there any chance?! This wave is going to be a disaster if we get caught by Zhou Li!"

Excessive tension made his nipples twitch. He touched his nipples and stared intently at the screen.

It was as if, at this moment, Teng Yangtianxia was lending all his power to Faker on the screen.
