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

Chapter 85 The Murder Sword, The Murder Book

The lineups for both sides are now finalized!

Blue side SKT: Top laner Renekton, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Ryze, bot lane Kog'Maw and Lulu.

Red team SSR: Top lane Shen, Jungle Master Yi, Mid lane Nunu, Bot lane Sivir and Morgana.

Offstage, countless spectators whispered among themselves.

Both teams are making their final tactical deployments.

The SKT players were completely baffled by SSR's lineup, wondering what the opposing team was up to.

A four-protect-one jungle Master Yi? That sounds really weird, doesn't it?

"But this game should be easy, right?" Jungler Bengi said. "Take it slow. We'll save our crowd control for Master Yi in late-game team fights. Team fights are easy to win."

The other four nodded as well.

They really didn't believe that SSR, with his substitutes and such a bizarre lineup, could win against them!

Meanwhile, the art style of the SSR characters is completely different.

"You all know what's going on this time."

Li Zhixing didn't say much, "Focus on farming and development, I'd rather wait for the late-game team fights. Leave it to me."

The team hadn't really practiced this jungle carry lineup much; they'd only played it a few times in scrims.

However, they are invincible and rarely suffer defeat.

Ultimately, only this lineup can fully showcase Li Zhixing's monstrous carry ability.

Next, we just need to wait for the captain to make his move.

Li Zhixing thought for a moment, then added with some concern, "Old Ma, don't panic. It's just a match against SKT. Just figure out what you're supposed to do, and leave the rest to me."

Is it just about playing against SKT...?

Ma Yingdong inwardly scoffed, but still nodded: "Okay."

As the game entered the loading phase, Ma Yingdong took a deep breath and adjusted his posture one last time.

When his hands touched the mouse and keyboard again, Summoner's Rift appeared before his eyes.

It's alright, Ma Yingdong was laning against Ryze, a champion whose early game pressure isn't particularly strong.

Start with Doran's Shield, stock up on mana potions, and use Q to farm minions and heal. Staying in lane shouldn't be a problem.

Soon, the minions from both sides slowly clashed in the middle lane. Ma Yingdong was quite steady. In order to maintain his condition, he didn't even think about attacking the first three melee minions, but let them die, only focusing on gaining experience.

This left the opposing mid laner, Dade, somewhat speechless.

A level 1 player with full health who's afraid to eat minions? Are you even here to compete?

You don't want to be C at all, right?

Ma Yingdong, of course, also had something to say.

What are my teammates' skill levels? What are my skill levels? Does this team even need a random player like me to carry?

I don't even need to farm minions!

In the blink of an eye, three minutes had passed.

With Ma Yingdong's forbearance, the minion wave inevitably pushed towards the SSR tower.

But just then, the Sword Saint, who had already cleared the jungle, appeared in the mid lane on time.

There's no question of the Sword Saint and the Yeti teaming up to kill each other, and Li Zhixing wasn't aiming for kills in this exchange.

Rather, it was to devour soldiers.

The Sword Saint showed no mercy, clearing out the entire wave of minions with a single Q, and then immediately moved to the bottom jungle to begin his second round of farming.

In this version, there's no penalty for junglers taking as many lane minions as they want. The jungle carry/buddy playstyle is naturally viable; just keep taking them!

After clearing out the second wave of jungle monsters, Li Zhixing returned to base to replenish his supplies.

Two rounds in the jungle, plus a wave in the mid lane, allowed Li Zhixing's development to be as rapid as a rocket.

His equipment build is also very worthy of his team's legendary sword.

"Ah, a Sword Saint with a naked Killer Sword! So Neo's style." Even the Roaring Emperor laughed upon seeing this: "If he gets going, he'll be unstoppable, right?"

But Kim Dong-jun expressed serious doubt: "But can he really get the kill? A swordsman with a naked sword is too weak, isn't he?"

"At this stage, the Sword Saint's combat power is weak no matter what he produces, right?"

The Roaring Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just trust SSR's tactical deployment."

During a previous match against KT, the commentators also questioned Neo's Olaf build with the Bloodthirster.

But as a result, the other person's Killer Sword level increased rapidly, like a rocket.

Furthermore, after acquiring the Bloodthirster, Olaf didn't continue building damage items but seamlessly transitioned to tank items, which is enough to prove that Neo's item build has its own logic.

After that, the canyon was calm.

On the SSR side, whether it's Shen in the top lane or Sivir and Morgana in the bottom lane, they all have strong self-protection abilities, and the Nunu in the mid lane doesn't even eat minions, so there's no chance for them to get a chance.

SKT's jungler Bengi, playing Lee Sin, roamed all three lanes several times but couldn't find any opportunities, so he gave up and went back to the jungle to farm and develop.

But he wasn't flustered.

They also have combinations like Big Mouth Lulu, whose combat power is equally strong in the later stages.

Your Blademaster even built a Killing Blade, essentially cutting off his own arm.

Let's farm and see who's stronger in the late game!

In the blink of an eye, another few minutes passed.

The hardworking Master Li had no interest in catching people and was immersed in the busy PVE.

Li Zhixing's jungle planning is definitely deliberate. Almost every time the minion wave pushes past the river and gets close to the SSR's turret, the Sword Saint will appear in the mid lane on time, quickly clear the minion wave, and then immediately head to the jungle.

With a double kill in the jungle and lane, Juggernaut's last-hitting rate skyrocketed, ranking first in the entire game and far exceeding the timeline!

At seven minutes, the Sword Saint recalled to base to replenish his supplies and upgraded to a pair of attack speed boots.

These shoes are crucial, improving jungle clearing and map traversal efficiency, allowing the Master Yi to farm more minions.

In the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.

At this moment, some ripples appeared in the canyon.

Ma Yingdong's continuous conceding of space gave Dade a lot of room to maneuver.

Dade wasn't stupid, of course. Seeing that he couldn't find an opportunity in the middle lane, he simply went to another lane to make his move.

Ryze and Lee Sin came to the bottom lane together, cutting off the SSR duo's retreat, and even wanted to launch an SSR-style four-man gank and tower dive.

Fortunately, the SSR duo not only knew how to tower dive, but also knew how to defend against tower dives. The two first stood outside the tower and used their powerful AOE ability to clear the minion wave, and then decisively turned around and chose to forcefully break through!

The two players' performance was flawless.

Faced with Ryze's ultimate followed by Flash and W, Mata reacted quickly, and Morgana provided a magic shield, helping Kim Hyuk-kyu ignore this fatal control.

Meanwhile, Kim Hyuk-kyu remained calm and composed, and Sivir used her E skill to precisely block Lee Sin's "Sonic Wave" amidst Ryze's sea of ​​abilities, preventing Lee Sin from closing in immediately.

Then, when faced with Lee Sin's ward hop and face-to-face attack, the duo simultaneously used Flash to create distance, escaping back to the second tower at the cost of each of them using Flash!

It's fair to say that the Sivir and Morgana combination is far from easy to counter.

The two not only managed to break through, but they even cleared the minion wave outside the tower before breaking through, leaving the four SKT players staring at SSR's bottom tower helplessly.

The camera cuts to the mid lane, where you can see the Sword Saint and Yeti both shrouded in red orbs of Blood Boil, rapidly pushing the minion wave into the tower.

This two-man push was certainly not enough to take down the mid tower, but Dade definitely wouldn't be able to get any minions.

And that wasn't all. As the minion wave pushed into the tower, Master Yi immediately went into SKT's jungle and took all the F4 and wolves near the mid lane.

After this roaming maneuver, SKT actually ended up losing some gold...

At this moment, it is clear that in less than ten minutes, the Sword Saint's last hits have reached an astonishing 117.

It's important to know that in this version, jungle monsters don't have an extra last-hit bonus. You only get three last hits from the wolves and two from the knives, so junglers generally get fewer last hits.

This jungler's last-hitting ability far exceeds the time limit; their economic level is unimaginable.

The Sword Saint returned to base to replenish supplies, and his equipment was upgraded once again.

"Mejai's Soulstealer" appeared in the Blademaster's equipment slot.
