LPL History

Chapter 188 All the clever schemes backfired; the feather fan and silk turban became nothing more than a laughing stock.

Braum is at a slight disadvantage in lane control against Lucian and Nami.

However, in order to gain lane control, Curly chose to initiate a fight, trading health for an advantage in lane control.

This gave Zhou Li the opportunity to gank.

At this moment, the factory manager was running towards his own jungle area, but he always had a sense of unease.

Logically speaking, since he stole Lee Sin's red buff, Lee Sin, who had nowhere else to go, should have shown himself by now, even if he chose to farm the Krugs and F4 first.

The mid-lane Ziggs, under the factory manager's command, pushed the lane and left vision at the F4 position.

However, even now, Lee Sin hasn't attacked the F4 camp.

This gave the factory manager a bad feeling.

Although he didn't know where his level 1 strategy went wrong, he had a feeling that Lee Sin was very likely in his bottom half of the map.

If it were in the bottom half of the map, then his decision to have the bottom lane duo push the lane could very well be their death knell!
Thinking of this, the factory manager changed his route. Instead of heading towards F4, he ran directly from the bottom lane.

When the factory manager passed by the stone statue, he deliberately went into the grass to take a look and found that his stone statue was gone.

He was about to signal the bottom lane to retreat, but at that moment, the Lee Sin had already circled around and come out!

Zhou Li knew that EDG's bot lane duo both had two summoner spells, so he immediately used his ward to get close and used his E skill to slow them down.

Then, a sonic wave struck the plane at close range.

Seeing that the blind monk's support had arrived, Sima Laozei also chose to slide forward and fire at the plane.

Before this, in order to catch up with Braum as soon as possible, Nami had already used her W skill to move forward. Now she could only use her DF combo to quickly create distance.

But Curly's Braum wasn't so lucky. All of his skills were on cooldown, and even when he used Flash, Lucian followed up with Flash and killed him.

Seeing the plane with low health below the tower, Xiaoming immediately decided to dive the tower.

However, when Zhou Li saw the location of the plane, he realized something was wrong.

He knew Nami quite well.

His style has always been relatively conservative. In situations like this, he could simply leave, rather than stubbornly insisting on taking half a wave of minions.

"Never mind, the widow is probably behind us."

Zhou Li spoke up and stopped Xiao Ming.

Seeing that WE.A suddenly gave up on tower diving, Clearlove switched screens and stared at his Widowmaker for a long time.

He even suspected that his widow was malfunctioning and her invisibility was no longer working.

From the commentary booth, Miller, watching the actions of both junglers, said:

"Zhou Li is extremely alert! If it were me, I would have gone straight for the tower and dove!"

Bella also said with some doubt:

"But how did he guess that the widow was there? I feel like he must have thought the widow was there before he gave up on tower diving, otherwise there's no reason for him to do it."

The doll thought for a moment and analyzed:

"However, the factory manager's move was also very clever. Did you guys notice? He didn't even enter his own jungle before running straight to the bottom lane, as if he had anticipated that Lee Sin would appear in the bottom lane. Although he was still a little late, at least he managed to save Corki."

Bella couldn't help but sigh:

"Both junglers truly exemplified the meaning of 'intelligent jungler'! Especially Zhou Li, we always thought his plays were very flashy, but this time we really saw another side of him!"

"From the factory manager's meticulous planning at the beginning, to Zhou Li seeing through the factory manager's intentions and decisively invading the blue zone, to the factory manager's timely remedy after realizing the situation, and finally to Zhou Li's decisive abandonment of the tower dive, I feel that the two sides have been brainstorming and battling for countless rounds in this short period of time! I can only blame myself for not understanding the game deeply enough. There are some details that I really can't understand their thinking."

Bella felt somewhat frustrated at this point.

She had clearly done thorough research before the match, but the actions of both junglers in today's game were obviously a bit over the top.

Hearing Bella's words, the doll smiled and comforted her:

"It's okay. If you had this mindset, you wouldn't be standing here now, you would be sitting there competing."

At this moment, the comments section of the live stream was already buzzing with discussion.

[Holy crap, I really don't understand these last few waves of discussion. Can someone explain them to me?!]

[I'm a Challenger jungler in the first server, let me analyze this. WE.A's decision not to tower dive seems a bit deliberate, like Nami was intentionally sacrificing herself. But if it were me, I'd probably still be thinking of taking the risk.]

How did Zhang know there was nothing left in his own jungle?

[He probably noticed that Lee Sin hadn't shown up yet. There was nothing left in the jungle, and he hadn't appeared, so he probably guessed something. I saw him specifically check the bush near the Krugs when he went to the bottom lane.]

How did Zhou Li know that his team's upper half of the red zone had been invaded?

[Brother, I really don't know. Just ask and they say it's open.]

[It's been on all the time, never turned off.]

[I knew this was because the general is like the sun, illuminating the fog in the jungle!]

These two junglers are really interesting to watch; it's like Zhuge Liang versus Zhou Yu, isn't it?

Then I can only say that Governor Zhou won this round.

This is our Zhou Dudu!

At this point, both junglers had already returned to base.

A new round of competition has begun.

The factory manager glanced at the jungle area.

Currently, of the four jungle areas, only WE.A's top side still has the Krugs and F4 camps to farm.

If it were me, I would most likely choose to collect the resources in the jungle first.

However, there is no opportunity in the top lane at this time, because Riven has already gained a certain advantage over Jax.

Although he said before the match that he would help Koro beat Riven and bring him back.

However, if you go to gank top lane now, you're likely to run into Lee Sin's gun.

In a 2v2 situation, your side is definitely no match for the opponent.

Looking at the mid lane, our team has Ziggs and the enemy team has Lulu. Even if I go to gank the mid lane, it will be difficult to coordinate with Ziggs to pose any threat to Lulu.

So the factory manager chose to continue down the road.

Lucian used up both of his summoner spells in the last engagement.

And because they've gained an advantage, the bot lane will definitely push the lane. At this point, taking advantage of Evelynn's invisibility, and coordinating with Braum to gank the bot lane, the success rate of the gank is very high.

However, what the factory didn't know was that Zhou Li had already anticipated his prediction.

They also headed towards the bottom lane.

Even more so because the Blind Monk recalls earlier than the Widowmaker and runs faster than the Factory Manager.

The Lee Sin who came to the bottom lane immediately crouched in the bush!
In the commentary booth, Miller, who was standing at God's-eye view, couldn't help but feel nervous!

"Zhou Li seems to have figured out Clearlove's plan! Clearlove is trying to gank bot lane, but Zhou Li's Lee Sin is already counter-ganking!! Clearlove didn't realize this at all, and he's about to make his move!!"

Curly-haired Braum used minions as stepping stones to force his way up, landing a Q skill on Lucian.

Nami's plane also chose to use its W skill to move forward and deal additional damage.

The factory manager's Widowmaker had already completed the flank and wanted to coordinate with her teammates to immediately knock out Lucian's "Don't Move" ability.

Lucian doesn't have two summoner spells, so if he gets crowd-controlled, he's doomed.

However, the next moment, a blind man suddenly appeared in the bushes and applied a protective shield to Lucian!

The factory manager was stunned for a moment, then shouted repeatedly:

"Let's go!"

Lee Sin's Bone-Breaking Palm struck down, slowing down Braum and Evelynn who were right in front of him. Then, a Q skill landed squarely on Clearlove's Evelynn.

In fact, Zhou Li was not very willing to fight the widow.

Because he knew that the factory manager still had Flash.

Furthermore, it possesses unique escape techniques, making it highly unlikely that this attack will be able to kill the Widow.

But he also needs to protect Lucian and fight off the widow first.

"Water bubbles for the airplane!!"

As Zhou Li had predicted, the widow's teleportation was exceptionally fast.

After using his second stage of Sonic Wave to kick in, the half-health Factory Director gave himself enough leeway and immediately used Flash.

Fortunately, thanks to Zhou Li's reminder, Ming chose to target the aircraft with the water bubbles!
The plane was under control, and there was no hope of escape.

And Brown, too, could not escape death.

【Double kill!】

This time, Zhou Li didn't choose to give up any more kills and comfortably secured a double kill.

"Wow! Zhou Li's counter-gank completely destroyed EDG's bot lane!!"

EDG player seats.

Nami hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

To be honest, he was doing quite well in the bot lane.

As a result, the factory manager gave two commands, which directly destroyed his bottom lane.

But since the other party was the factory manager, Nami didn't dare to say anything.

Curly and the factory manager are close friends, so they wouldn't say anything.

Nami could only sigh helplessly.

Instead, the factory manager complained.

"Make sure you have good vision control in the bottom lane!"

Fortunately, at this moment, EDG's top lane finally brought good news.

Koro's Jax solo-killed Khan's Riven in the top lane.

To be precise, it was Khan who got carried away and tried to tower dive with his weapon, but Koro1 used Flash under the tower to pull off a counter-kill.

WE.A players' bench.

Khan angrily grabbed his hair.

"Damn it! It's just a billion short!"

Zhou Li glanced at the road ahead.

The weapon has only ten health points.

The Khan wasn't lying; it really was just a hair's breadth away.

This tower dive wasn't too bad; Riven swallowed one and a half waves of minions before pushing into the tower.

Even if you manage to steal the weapon and it gets replaced, it's still a huge win.

Unfortunately, the weapon survived with only ten drops of health.

While tower diving is a high-risk, high-reward activity.

Being counter-killed under the tower can only be attributed to the opponent's skillful play, not to Khan's lapse in judgment; his strategy was indeed sound.

However, Zhou Li, who was always benevolent, would naturally not let the Khan off the hook.

"You son of a bitch! What are you doing, Kim Dong-ha? Why are you feeding the enemy? Have you lost your mind?"

The Khan, who had been scolded by Zhou Li, cleverly explained:
"Ah, he's so lucky, he was just ten drops short of blood."

"You can't even calculate damage, what are you doing playing League of Legends? You play so sloppily and you're still making excuses? I put you on the field just to find excuses?"

The Khan was stunned by Zhou Li's scolding, swallowed hard, and began to play dumb.

"Wo wo wo, but I can't quite understand what you're saying."

"You can't understand your mother's language," Zhou Li cursed, "I'm speaking Korean!"

The Khan was taken aback, feeling embarrassed and with an urge to cry.

This guy is going too far. He's the only Korean in the team, why is he learning Korean?
The key point is that Zhou Li was never mentioned in ordinary times.

Was it just so she could learn Korean specifically to insult herself?!

He was somewhat out of his element and could only shout:
"Stop cursing! I'm an idiot!! I'm an idiot!!"
