Chapter 87 What the hell is this thing?

"Let's focus on farming and develop our strength. We'll be invincible in the late game. We don't need these small advantages in lane."

After Wang Ke finished speaking, he began to gather his strength and help Crystal push the minion wave.

Once this wave pushes in, WE's minion wave will naturally push out again. At that point, they can simply let the wave go and focus on farming under the tower.

Wang Ke wasn't just being stubborn this time.

After all, for their lineup, once they reach the late game, their win rate will directly reach 80%.

There is really no need to take too much risk in the early stages in order to exert so-called dominance.

Putting aside the question of whether they can win, the fact that they push the lane means they face a huge risk of being ganked by the jungler.

In order to allow Da Zui to take over the game more quickly, Wang Ke will definitely go straight for the bare incense burner.

In this situation, the vision pressure on the bottom lane will be very high. If you choose to push the lane, you will be caught and killed, which will be a counterproductive choice.

However, Snake's choice was seen as quite laughable by outsiders.

As expected, the bottom lane was indeed being pressured and beaten.

[What a foolish move! Wouldn't it have been better to just let the bottom lane roam freely like in the last game?]

I don't know what they're so arrogant about.

【GG!】

[WE's bot lane has gained an advantage, and with this lineup, they seem unstoppable.]

[With Snake Team's lineup, there's simply no one left who can cut through the backline and deal with the Twitch in the late game.]

In this match, there were actually quite a few netizens supporting the Snake team.

Of course, this is not because Snake Esports has a large fan base.

Instead, some RNG and EDG fans are supporting Snake Esports.

Although Snake Esports had offended RNG and EDG before, some fans felt it would be better for WE to lose than for WE to win.

Because I've been caught in the rain myself, it makes me feel bad to see you holding an umbrella.

However, only a small number of people held this view. Most fans of both teams were hoping that WE could defeat Snake Esports and avenge them.

After all, if the Snakes lose this game, they will most likely miss the playoffs. They don't want to cause trouble for the Snakes when the playoffs come around.

This game was noticeably more dull than the previous one.

After all, both sides have lineups that are focused on development.

While Snake's bot lane lacks lane priority, their mid and top lanes are relatively easy to secure.

It goes without saying that Gnar in the top lane can easily defeat Maokai, and Galio in the mid lane can also maintain a level playing field with Taliyah by relying on his skills.

Condi's Vi can't do much before reaching level six.

On the contrary, Sofm's Lee Sin became the most aggressive player in the early game, constantly diving into Vi's upper jungle.

However, most people believe that this calm will most likely be broken when both mid laners reach level six.

Both Taliyah and Galio, once they reach level six and acquire their ultimate abilities, can coordinate with their teammates to exert pressure on the side lanes.

But this match clearly exceeded most people's expectations.

Even after both mid laners reached level seven, neither side made any moves.

For WE, the bot lane was constantly pushing the lane, so if Taliyah wanted to gank, she could only look at Gnar in the top lane.

However, once Taliyah uses her ultimate to support, Snake Esports will likely choose to target their own bot lane.

WE's core strategy revolves around the bottom lane, which could backfire.

The Snake team had the same consideration: if Taliyah doesn't move, then there's no need for me to make the first move.

From both sides' perspectives, their own lineups have a greater advantage in the late game.

While Kog'Maw is better at dealing with the front line, WE's front line is tankier, and they also have Vi's lock-on and Taliyah's rock spike, which can deal with your Kog'Maw.

On the other hand, what can your Snake team use to limit our Twitch's damage output?

Moreover, I have an advantage in the bot lane; my Twitch is doing better than your Kog'Maw.

Since your Snake team likes to drag things out, then let's drag it out.

Thus, both sides maintained a tacit peace.

Saofen's Lee Sin will at most come to the bottom lane to roam around and put a little pressure on WE's bottom lane duo. His main task is to help the bottom lane with vision.

Thirteen minutes into the game, neither side had managed to secure a single kill.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan said, "Both sides are playing very steadily in this game; not a single kill has occurred in thirteen minutes! However, WE's advantage in the bottom lane is very obvious, and it seems that Snake's outer bottom turret is about to collapse! Mystic's Twitch is about to take down Snake's first bottom turret!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Snake's bottom lane tower fell.

Rita chimed in, "It definitely feels like there's a significant difference in the bot lane between the two sides. We see that after our ADC went back to base, he immediately bought Blade of the Ruined King! But Crystal, on the other hand, has Ninja Tabi and a Recurve Bow—? Did Crystal really buy Ninja Tabi?"

Seeing Da Kog'Maw's item build, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems the bot lane is under a lot of pressure. Kog'Maw's first item is Ninja Tabi—to be honest, I'm not sure how to comment on that."

Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream started mocking them.

[6666! What the hell are those cloth armor shoes?!]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Crystal is probably itching to kill Bai Chu right now.]

In the last game, I didn't get any cloth armor boots while playing solo and under pressure, but in this game, I got a pair of cloth armor boots after following others all the time.

Is this Wind Maiden even human?

[The key point is that this support is even more overpowered than me; it's been thirteen minutes and I haven't even built a Sightstone.]

What is Bai building? Ability power items and mana regen items? Planning to play himself as an AP champion?

Knowing they couldn't beat the strategy the first time, they simply gave up.

Normally, it takes thirteen minutes to produce an incense burner, which is the basic requirement.

However, this requirement only applies to the World Championship version.

In the current version, the economy of support characters is growing slowly, so Wang Ke hasn't been able to get the incense burner yet.

However, Wang Ke was not in a hurry.

After all, even with the Ardent Censer, the real power spike comes when Crystal gets the Guinsoo's Rageblade.

This time, Crystal dragged the team down.

As for Cloth Armor Boots, that's perfectly fine. With the support of Ardent Censer, Kog'Maw will never lack damage output. Getting Cloth Armor Boots to prevent Vi from diving in and provide yourself with higher survivability is the best choice.

The fact that it took thirteen minutes for the outer turret to fall was actually considered a good pace in Wang Ke's mind.

After all, during the time they weren't warding, WE didn't really target their bottom lane much in this game.

The bottom lane was breached, and then it was a normal lane swap to continue laning.

WE did not choose to send their bot lane duo to the mid lane, but instead opted to go to the top lane, clearly indicating they were not in a hurry and wanted to give Twitch more room to farm.

The game has reached the sixteenth minute.

The outer turret on the top lane is also on the verge of collapse.

During this period, both sides continued to develop peacefully without any conflict breaking out.

But now, the Snake team is already preparing a counterattack.

Because Wang Ke had already taken out the incense burner, and Da Zui also had the sheep knife.

These two items alone are enough to give Snake's bot lane duo a qualitative leap!

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, watching WE's movements, said, "Snake Esports is playing very passively this game! Condi is already moving towards the top lane; this move is probably to put pressure on Snake Esports' bot lane duo and directly push down Snake Esports' outer top lane tower! Snake Esports seems to be playing very strangely this game! If WE slowly whittles down their economy like this, it will be very disadvantageous for them to continue playing!"

Rita, looking at Wang Ke and Crystal's positions, said, "Snake Team's vision should already be on Condi's side, but we see that White and Crystal haven't given up on the outer tower!"

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Guan Zeyuan demanded. "Taliyah is already getting close, and her ultimate can fly directly to the tower!! Taliyah's using her ultimate! That's it! Both of them are going to die under the tower!"

Taliyah's wall of defenses stretched across Summoner's Rift, directly blocking Kog'Maw and Janna's escape routes.

Then, Vi walked out of the bushes and unhesitatingly used her ultimate ability to lock down Kog'Maw!

Even though he saw Galio's ultimate attack landing with Kog'Maw as the center, Condi wasn't worried.

This lock-on, combined with the Taliyah's Rock Smash as she lands, along with the damage from our Twitch, will definitely kill Kog'Maw instantly!

Seeing that Crystal was locked up, Wang Ke was not in a hurry.

Lee Sin is already heading towards the top lane. Galio's ultimate is about to land, and he is confident that he can protect Kog'Maw during this time. The only thing he needs to pay attention to is his positioning so that he is not interrupted by the opponent's skills.

With the movement speed buff, Janna immediately created distance between herself and Kog'Maw, then used her E skill to shield Kog'Maw, triggering the Ardent Censer effect at the same time.

Then, the moment Taliyah landed, Janna activated her ultimate, knocking Taliyah back and simultaneously charging up a gust of wind that blew towards Twitch's location, forcing Twitch to reposition, interrupting Twitch's output, and avoiding the burst damage.

Wang Ke had already planned this operation several times in his mind, so he didn't make any mistakes when he executed it.

At that moment, Condi, whose face was magnified, sensed something was wrong the instant he landed.

In this game, he farmed almost constantly and developed very well.

Based on normal damage calculations, with his ultimate landing followed by AEA, combined with Taliyah's Rock Smash and Q skill, and the output from Twitch's ultimate on the other side, it should be able to melt Kog'Maw instantly!

However, the result was that their teamwork was not too bad, and they dealt all the damage they were supposed to. As a result, after Kog'Maw took a full set of skills, he still had a third of his health left!

Even with Janna's shield and ultimate healing, the damage estimate shouldn't be this far off!

Moreover, Ben's Lulu had already turned Janna into a sheep immediately, interrupting Janna's ultimate.

Seeing that Kog'Maw still had half health left, Ben quickly used his ultimate on Vi, who was tanking the tower.

At this point, WE had no way out and could only gamble everything.

But the control over Big Mouth has ended!

Crystal, controlling Kog'Maw, activated W and immediately began a counterattack!

At the same time, Galio's ultimate ability finally descended from the sky!

"boom!"

Dust flying everywhere!

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan stared wide-eyed at Kog'Maw in the top lane and exclaimed, "What's going on?! Four WE players couldn't kill Kog'Maw! Galio's ultimate landed, and it looks like WE is in trouble now! And why is Kog'Maw dealing so much damage?!"

Almost at the same moment Galio landed and knocked Vi into the air, Kog'Maw's damage, combined with the turret's damage, melted Vi.

Galio charged towards Twitch and Lulu with a Justice Punch, and although the distance wasn't enough, he immediately began charging up his W.

Song Wen's intention was very clear: he wanted to use W Flash. Da Jiuzi and Ben didn't dare to be careless and used Flash to create distance in advance.

Meanwhile, two teleports had already appeared on the top lane minion wave!

"Chase it! Ignore the tree!"

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Crystal controlled Big Mouth and chased after him relentlessly.

On the other side, the pink-haired Lee Sin finally arrived at the scene. The Lee Sin flanked from behind, used Q followed by ward hop and R, and kicked the Twitch back!

"My brother-in-law got kicked back! But the big tree has already hit the ground! 957's choice was very decisive, he immediately flashed and bound Kog'Maw! SofM's kick actually gave Twitch an opportunity to deal damage!!"

Kog'Maw had less than half health left, while Twitch was almost at full health, not to mention that Twitch's equipment was better than Kog'Maw's.

From an outsider's perspective, this move by the "saucy fan" was completely idiotic, like kicking a rat into a big mouth and picking up the kill.

However, what happened next made everyone's eyes widen.

Wang Ke's Janna arrived late, providing a new shield for Kog'Maw.

Then, the rat and the big mouth started spraying each other fiercely!

"Big Mouth is definitely outmatched in A-rank—wait a minute! What's going on?! It seems like Mouse can't out-A-rank Big Mouth! This Big Mouth! Christo! He's like a god of war, still attacking! Brother-in-law can't take it anymore!! Brother-in-law is down!! The fully healed Mouse was killed by Big Mouth's breath attack!!"

Guan Zeyuan's shouts grew more and more intense, until finally he himself didn't know what he was saying anymore.

A rat with a significant equipment and health advantage was face-to-face with a Kog'Maw, even though Kog'Maw's W skill was on cooldown. The result was that Kog'Maw...

But is this fucking right?!

The live stream room was now filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

Wait, what's going on here?

Did the brother-in-law fix the match?

Why doesn't it hurt when a mouse hits your mouth?

[Are cloth armor shoes really that awesome?]

[Even a mouse can't beat Kog'Maw, so do you all know which champion to buy?]

[Okay, I should buy cloth-soled shoes.]

[Is Crystal using an invincibility cheat?]

【Wait, why is my health increasing the more I attack this big tree?】

[Even Kog'Maw didn't build any lifesteal items?!]

[And this attack speed is wrong, isn't it?! It's just a Guinsoo's Rageblade, how come it's like a Gatling gun?!]

Although Kog'Maw killed Twitch, his own health was already very low. Treant Protector 957 wanted to kill Kog'Maw, but he realized something was wrong as the fight progressed.

Because he was like a blood pump, Big Mouth was basically using him to heal, and his health was increasing the more he was attacked!

This prompted 957 to issue a deafening question.

"No way, what the hell is this thing?"
