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

Chapter 87 Sang-hyeok Understood

First blood!

"6

At that moment, the sound from the audience below the stadium surged and roared!

The pace of this game was indeed a bit slow, with the first blood not arriving until more than ten minutes into the match.

But from this moment on, the rhythm will be on a train, and Wuhu will take off.

Clearly, everyone, including SKT, underestimated the strength of the champions paired with Master Yi and Nunu.

No one expected that the Blademaster could still deal such explosive damage even after giving up almost 2,000 gold!

Even after killing Ryze, Li Zhixing's greed was still not satisfied. He pinged the signal and turned his attention to the Lee Sin standing nearby.

The SSR mid and support duo seemed to have anticipated this, as can be seen from Mata's skills.

Since joining the battle, Mata has only used a magic shield on Master Yi and threw a pool of blood at Ryze's feet. He hasn't used any other skills, keeping his Q and R skills to himself.

With Ryze's death, his Q was finally unleashed, heading straight for Lee Sin.

SKT's jungler Bengi clearly didn't expect to become a target, and was caught off guard.

Even if Morgana doesn't max Q, and even if her Q is only level 1, a precise hit from this Q will still provide a 1.5-second root.

That's enough to kill the blind monk.

The swordsman's blade glowed again as he swung it towards the blind monk.

In this version of Master Yi, participating in a kill refreshes all cooldowns, including his ultimate. This is the core mechanic that makes AP Master Yi playable. With a 1.0 AP scaling "Alpha Strike," as long as there is a low-health enemy, you can continuously use Q to complete a textbook Desecration.

However, its E skill has another extremely terrifying feature: the attack power bonus effect can be stacked.

The first E only adds 70 attack damage, but if you use E again after a kill, you can stack up to 140!

With its high attack power, just two strikes were enough to nearly kill the Blind Monk!

At this point, Bang seemed to have no other choice. Fortunately, the magic shield on the Sword Saint had disappeared, so he could only kick the Sword Saint away, then use Flash to pull away and try to escape.

But don't forget that Li Zhixing is still holding Q in his hand.

He decisively followed suit.

EQ chased after him, and upon landing, AWA unleashed two consecutive slashes, sending the Lee Sin back to the fountain!

"Double kill!"

The sound of a double kill echoed throughout the arena. Blue light spots appeared on Master Yi's blade once again, and the triple E skill boosted his attack damage by a whopping 210 points!

Standing before the powerful Master Yi was merely a harmless Lulu.

The ending is self-evident.

Li Zhixing, wielding two swords, chased after him, executing a smooth and fluid AWAQ combo.

With the buff of a four-stack Mejai's Soulstealer, even with only two levels of "Alpha Strike," the damage output is quite impressive.

The Q skill landed and the final basic attack instantly emptied Lulu's health bar!

After slaying three enemies, Master Yi's health finally dwindled to near zero.

At this moment, the turret's bombardment came towards the low-health Sword Saint, but Li Zhixing was prepared.

The refreshed Q skill only targets the nearby minions, easily diverting the turret's aggro.

The sound of a triple kill echoed throughout the venue in Korean, driving countless spectators into a frenzy with thunderous cheers.

No one expected that this 3v3 battle between the mid, jungle, and support would end with SSR winning big!

The two commentators were greatly shocked by this.

"Where did this Sword Saint get such high damage? How did he get killed by Lulu in one move?"

The two of them didn't understand, but they maintained respect.

"As it turns out, Neo has its reasons for releasing this kind of equipment."

"If the Blademaster already has this much damage, then it seems like it doesn't matter what equipment he uses..."

"It would definitely be more fun to build something like a Bloodthirster or a Mejai's Soulstealer..."

"Then SKT is in trouble." Roaring Emperor stared blankly at the live broadcast screen in front of him.

In the video, the SSR mid, jungle, and support trio quickly cleared the minion wave and then pushed it into the tower.

With just a few slashes, the Sword Saint destroyed SKT's mid-lane tower.

Even the SSR jungler and support consciously retreated and spread out, allowing the Sword Saint to enjoy the tower's bounty all to himself.

"The Red Army has destroyed the enemy's defensive tower!"

The announcement sounded again, signaling the end of this small group activity.

Li Zhixing secured three kills in this wave, plus solo-killing the mid-lane tower.

The Bloodthirster and the Book of Deathcap each stacked six times, providing an additional 30 attack damage and 48 ability power.

Once the killing-type equipment is stacked to six layers, combined with the equipment's inherent attributes, it's basically no longer a waste of resources and becomes normal equipment.

"Damn, how can something this awesome happen in the world?!"

The director acted quickly, promptly bringing up the replay of this match.

In the scene, the Sword Saint's sword is not only fast, creating afterimages, but also deals high damage, causing Ryze's health bar to drop piece by piece!

After killing Ryze, Master Yi's damage output increased even further, and he quickly and easily dispatched Lee Sin as well!

The final kill on Lulu was even more outrageous; the Sword Saint, wielding dual swords, emptied Lulu's health bar in the blink of an eye!

【Huh? ? ? Why?】

[Someone's cheating! This damage is illogical!]

[I can understand why the attack speed is so fast, since there's a Yeti, but why is the attack power also so high?]

【Is that even a question? Max E, right? Your Master Yi only maxes Q, right?】

[Main W Yeti paired with main E Master Yi? Is this Neo's strategy?]

So that's how it is...

Skill point allocation is the easiest thing to create mental habits.

Even if the answer is already laid out in the riddle, not many people can think of it immediately.

But after thinking about this, I felt only a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Is it really that simple?

Of course, it's not that simple.

Backstage at SSR, Lee Sang-hyeok watched his team's resounding victory, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It's naturally something to be happy about when your team wins a team fight.

But why can't he be happy?

This team fight victory brought him one step closer to the bench, which was one reason, but not the main one.

The main reason is that he saw the potential of his own team in this team fight.

Prior to this, SSR's mid and jungle were always the team's two strongest points.

But there are only two points, not one point.

Because the coordination between Nakano and Jungkook is not close.

Right now, after Ma Yingdong came on, he didn't even do anything. He simply added a W as Li Zhixing asked, and easily achieved a 1+1>2 effect.

The final result was in no way inferior to when he was present.

This is what made Lee Sang-hyeok ponder.

Li Zhixing often says: The biggest difference between professional teams and ranked matches is that the five players communicate and interact.

With communication and exchange, many systems and tactics will naturally emerge.

Often, just one or two correct skill combinations are enough to deliver a decisive blow.

Lee Sang-hyeok didn't understand before.

But now, seeing the coordinated attack from his own mid, jungle, and support players, he has unconsciously gained some insight.
