LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

Chapter 104 Sang-hyeok's Way to Break the Deadlock

Li Zhixing's praise was ringing out from the SSR player's seat.

"Not bad, Sang-hyeok," Lee Ji-haeng chuckled. "This rhythm is just right."

Lee Sin's finishing ability is far superior to Lissandra's, and Li Zhixing could have easily saved his skills to secure the kill, but he didn't.

After all, this guy has really put in a lot of effort, so he deserves some reward for his hard work.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill someone in this round.

Lee Sang-hyeok had a clear mind. After killing the enemy, he immediately rushed to the middle lane, not wanting to lose even a single minion.

As they walked along the road, he finally spoke, "Brother, what's the next step?"

Lee Sang-hyeok knew that Lee Ji-hyung's awareness and overall perspective far surpassed his own.

While devising this jungle gank, Li Zhixing must have also planned out subsequent strategies.

But this time Li Zhixing didn't give an answer. Instead, he smiled and said, "Shouldn't you, as a mid-laner, have your own ideas? Observe the flanks more. I believe you can come up with your own answer."

Li Zhixing observed that the biggest difference between Korean and Chinese players is that most Korean players are StarCraft players.

StarCraft is an extremely tactical game, and simultaneously controlling four or five lines of units to fight in different locations on the map is common.

Yes, that's true.

This gives them a natural and extremely strong overall insight.

Lee Sang-hyeok is also a master of StarCraft, possessing a perfect foundation of strategic awareness.

However, his laning ability was so strong that he became addicted to the positive feedback from laning, which suppressed his talent for overall game strategy.

What Li Zhixing needs to do is to rediscover this part of his talent.

To put it bluntly, how could a Crystal Maiden without Flash or her ultimate kill an Ahri with Flash and her ultimate?

This lane matchup isn't very interesting; it's better to watch the side lanes more.

To break the deadlock in the current situation, a little ingenuity will be needed.

Consider it an exam paper that Lee Ji-haeng gave to Lee Sang-hyeok.

After being reminded by Lee Ji-hyeong, Lee Sang-hyeok finally stopped focusing on his own lane and began to observe his teammates more closely.

In the jungle, Li Zhixing has an absolute advantage, after all, his Lee Sin has Flash available after killing two people, and he is about to reach level 6.

He can go wherever there is a breakthrough.

In the top lane, although Looper was constantly pushed by Alchemist, Cho'Gath himself had excellent AOE ability and could restore health and mana by killing minions, so he had a very comfortable laning phase and at least could farm peacefully.

However, a large bug also couldn't hold onto a gold-wielding alchemist with Flash.

If the mid and jungler go top together, they might have a chance to get a kill, since a level 6 Lee Sin is quite strong.

But that obviously doesn't make a profit.

After all, there is a dragon in the bottom half of the map. If you gank top, you must ensure that the opponent cannot stop their losses in the bottom lane.

Otherwise, if the enemy team easily takes a dragon, then ganking the top lane will be a waste.

It is clearly impossible under the current conditions.

The bottom lane is undoubtedly the most reliable option for reaping rewards, but it is also the most difficult.

After all, the opposing bot lane duo both have Flash available right now, and they're also protected by Morgana's magic shield, making it extremely difficult for them to make a move.

In that case—

Lee Sang-hyeok quickly came up with an idea.

When she re-entered the game, the Ice Maiden was already wearing a pair of Mercury Boots.

Whether Ice Maiden builds Sorcerer's Shoes or Mercury's Treads, there's not much difference in terms of damage output.

This hero is inherently lacking in damage. To kill someone instantly, you absolutely need Deathfire Grasp. With Deathfire Grasp, you can kill with any boots, but without Deathfire Grasp, you can't kill with any boots.

When pushing lanes, there's no difference; no matter what shoes you buy, it's always two Qs to clear a wave.

Therefore, it's better to get Mercury's Treads first, so that you can keep up with Ahri and push the minion wave.

This item build strategy was learned by Lee Sang-hyeok from Ma Ying-dong.

At first, he dismissed the Mercury Boots, believing them to be equipment without the Mage Soul.

But after trying it myself, I couldn't help but exclaim – it's so delicious!

If you're not aiming for kills and are only looking for a health advantage and lane control, Mercury's Treads are definitely a better choice.

After pushing the mid lane in a few quick moves, Lee Sang-hyeok and Lee Ji-hyeong went to the river together, entered MVP's bottom red buff area, and headed straight for the bottom lane!

On the MVP side, the bot lane duo's vision control was quite good, with detailed vision coverage at the jungle entrance.

Therefore, SSR's move of sneaking into the jungle and flanking is not a secret.

The SSR duo turned and retreated early, heading back to the tower ahead of time.

Of course, relying solely on defensive towers is definitely not enough against an SSR's four-man gank.

Therefore, jungler Dandy's Vi quickly moved to the bottom lane to try and protect the duo.

But as I said before, both Crystal Maiden and Lee Sin are heroes who can fly and teleport, so they cannot be defended against in the usual way.

After entering the jungle, the SSR mid-jungle duo did not head straight for the bottom lane as MVP had predicted.

In the MVP's blind spot, Lee Sang-hyeok, the Ice Maiden, unleashed his Ice Claw.

When the second E skill was used to switch positions, the Crystal Maiden had already appeared in the bush next to the Red Buff.

Li Zhixing also followed suit with his "Golden Bell Cover" move.

The two remained motionless in the bushes, playing a game of waiting for their prey to come to them.

At this moment, cheers began to rise from the audience.

Because from their God's-eye view, they could clearly see that Dandy's Vi was rushing to the bottom lane with a pale face.

In a few seconds, he will pass by the bush where SSR Jungle is crouching!

"This ambush by the SSR mid-jungle duo!"

The Roaring Emperor shouted loudly, "Dandy seems completely oblivious!"

This is bad news!

The answer given by Lee Sang-hyeok was to besiege the enemy's stronghold and attack their reinforcements.

Since it's difficult to gank any of the three lanes, let's use the bottom lane as bait to lure the jungler into a trap!

This decision was undoubtedly correct.

As Wei slowly came into view, Lee Sang-hyeok remained calm. He waited until Wei was right in front of him before using QW to create a binding effect!

With SSR's mid and jungle each holding a kill and leading in experience and level, killing Vi would be effortless for them, especially if they were to ambush her from the bushes and initiate the attack. They wouldn't even need to use their ultimate abilities.

Li Zhixing followed up with Q, then A followed by E, unleashing a combo before finishing with the last two Qs, "Echo Strike," securing the kill!

Lee Sang-hyeok's lips curled slightly, smugly pleased with his perfect decision.

Pretending to gank bot lane while actually ambushing the jungler, who else but him can do that?

But Li Zhixing's words immediately brought him back to reality.

"Stop daydreaming, come with me right now!"

Li Zhi didn't stop moving. The moment he killed Wei, he turned around and headed to the bottom lane!

Lee Sang-hyeok was slightly taken aback, but immediately followed up, and the two of them together cut off the MVP's upcoming wave of minions.

Things change every thirty years; now it's Li Zhixing's turn to cut off the other side's lines.

Dandy's last disconnection was when he was forced to flee in a sorry state by the SSR bot lane duo, which affected his overall rhythm!

With Li Zhixing's disconnection, the MVP bottom lane duo had no chance of breaking through and could only tremble under the tower, unable to move.

What followed was inevitably a wave of inhumane massacres.
