League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 108 Liu Qingsong's Ingenious Ideas

At this point, the RNG team is about to face a difficult problem.

That is, which hero can gain absolute lane control from a mid-lane Nautilus?

Regular champions like LeBlanc are definitely not viable picks; these champions are practically useless against Nautilus.

"Then give me Lissandra." Xiaohu said in his distinctive voice, "Lissandra should be fine, and our jungler Kindred needs a champion like Lissandra with crowd control."

RNG's coach nodded, thought about it for a moment and realized there was nothing wrong with it, "Then let's go with Lissandra."

After saying that, he patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "You have a heavy responsibility to bear. Keep it up."

Xiao Hu nodded and said, "Yes, I will do my best."

At this point, the lineups for both sides are finalized.

Blue side QG: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Nautilus, Bot lane Lucian and Leona.

Red team RNG: Top lane Maokai, Jungle Kindred, Mid lane Lissandra, Bot lane Sivir and Bard.

After a brief loading period, the match began quickly.

Chen Dongqing first bought a Doran's Shield from the shop, then quickly activated Q to build up temperature, aiming for a yellow temperature limit.

After going online, Chen Dongqing didn't say much and immediately used Q to push the lane.

The hero Treant Protector has a fatal weakness: low base magic resistance and zero magic resistance growth!

This is a negative balance made after the tree gained a damage reduction ultimate. After all, the total output of mage heroes is already relatively low. If you have a damage reduction ultimate and also have scaling magic resistance, then mages will be unable to fight.

However, this characteristic makes Maokai inherently at a disadvantage when facing AP champions.

On the other hand, Rumble is also considered a lane bully in AP champions. Against Maokai, who has no magic resistance, it's a 90/10 matchup.

(In the current version, even if Maokai has scaling magic resistance, he still has a 30/70 chance against Rumble.)

With a huge advantage, Chen Dongqing pushed the lane recklessly, advancing the third wave of siege minions into the turret. Then he planned to place a ward in the river.

Everything is reciprocal. While Rumble counters Maokai, he's vulnerable to ganks when pushing lanes. Maokai is also strong in synergy with junglers, so Rumble can't just blindly push lanes; he still has to consider the enemy jungler's position.

But then, an accident happened.

Just as Chen Dongqing was walking towards the river to place a ward, Looper's Maokai decisively crossed the minion wave and used Flash and W to bind him!

The moment Chen Dongqing saw the tree's movement, he realized something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do. He could only be bound by the tree and then knocked into the river by a Q.

At the same time, as expected, a level 3 Kindred with double buffs rolled out from the river bushes.

Chen Dongqing remained calm in the face of this gank. He first used his E to slow Kindred, then decisively flashed away and activated his W to escape.

In this kind of gank, as long as he's willing to use Flash, the enemy team definitely can't kill him.

Changmao shouted from the commentary booth, "RNG pulled off a quick level 3 gank on the top lane! Their movement was incredibly fast! Ilex wasn't quite prepared!"

"Actually, he was prepared. He realized Kindred might gank top, so he went to ward," Su Xiaoyan said. "But he clearly didn't expect Looper to be so decisive, flashing over the minion wave to bind her!"

"Fortunately, he managed to escape by using Flash in the end, and this was just a trade of Flash between the two top laners."

After Chen Dongqing used Flash, he was chased down and hit twice more by Kindred. Now his health was down to just over 200, so he obviously had no chance to lane and could only recall to base.

"Damn it, are they crazy?" Chen Dongqing said, somewhat frustrated. "There's no way they could kill me like that. I lost minions and jungle camps, and all I got was a Flash?"

To be honest, even if he was forced back to base, he didn't really lose much, because he was caught after pushing the lane into the tower. On the contrary, Maokai lost a few minions.

Xiangguo sneered from the side, "Don't you understand? The first step is to catch you when you use Flash, and the second step is definitely to tower dive you."

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why don't you come and counter-gank top lane?"

Xiangguo was quite ruthless, saying, "You should know that this isn't the key point, so you'd better figure it out yourself."

Uzi, meanwhile, gloated from the bottom lane: "It's okay, just tank the pressure, I'll carry this game!"

Meanwhile, Uzi was thinking to himself: Hahaha, I'll take the MVP for this game!

In the bottom lane, without the threat of a jungler, Uzi and Liu Qingsong played quite aggressively in lane, successfully engaging in a skirmish with each other at level two and gaining control of the bottom lane.

According to the tactical plan, once the bottom lane gains lane priority, the support must go to the mid lane to help free up lane priority.

This requires a lot of individual skill; many support players, even if they gain an advantage in the bottom lane, find it difficult to do much.

At this point, Liu Qingsong naturally needed to put his ingenious ideas to use.

Who is Liu Shao? He only needed to think for a moment to come up with a solution.

He recalled to base right in front of the enemy bot laner, bought boots, and headed straight for the mid lane. At the same time, he said, "Xiangguo, can you come to the mid lane for a bit? You help Doinb push the minion wave to the tower, and the three of us will dive him."

"Yes, yes, yes, come on." Xiangguo immediately agreed. The enemy jungler had just made a move, so of course he couldn't just sit idly by.

At this moment, the mid lane minion wave was being reset in the middle. Upon seeing this, Xiangguo didn't say a word, made a small flanking man, and charged out while chugging beer!

This level of gank posed no threat to Xiaohu. He used his E towards the tower, then walked into the minion wave to avoid being hit by Nautilus's Q, and immediately used his second E to return to the tower.

Of course, this means they can't get control of the mid lane, and at this point, Xiangguo has already started laning with Doinb.

Xiaohu wasn't flustered. He knew that the Titan and Gragas couldn't kill him, so he could leisurely wait for the minion wave to come and then farm under the tower.

But in the darkness he couldn't see, a crisis was slowly brewing.

After Liu Qingsong's hero returned to base, he immediately headed straight for the mid lane, something no one expected.

Just as the minion wave pushed towards the tower, Liu Qingsong's Leona had already positioned herself in RNG's bottom jungle, with only a wall separating her from RNG's mid tower.

"I'll just flash in and follow up." Liu Qingsong's tone was calm, but his move was extremely ruthless. He used E-Flash through a wall, and Leona instantly appeared in front of Lissandra, with Zenith Blade pointing straight at her!

"Here it comes! QG's mid, jungle, and support have their first coordinated attack!" Changmao shouted. "Leona's E followed by Q, the control is incredibly reliable, and Nautilus and Gragas quickly followed up!"

After Liu Qingsong finished his combo, he immediately activated his W ability and walked out of the turret. He still had to lane later and couldn't withstand too much turret damage.

On the other side, Doinb also understood the situation. Nautilus immediately used his hook to tank the tower, and then used a basic attack to apply a root!

Xiangguo's Gragas is responsible for dealing damage; a fully charged Q explodes and takes down the Ice Maiden under the tower.

The control provided by the three heroes—Leona, Nautilus, and Gragas—was simply too good; Xiaohu's Crystal Maiden didn't even move an inch throughout the entire match!

Today's three chapters totaled 7000 words.

P.S.: I made a small mistake when dividing the chapters yesterday; I accidentally copied some duplicate content. I saw it and deleted it immediately after posting the chapter. I guess none of you have subscribed yet.

Even if you've subscribed multiple times, it's okay. Four or five hundred words doesn't amount to many coins. I'll try to update an extra chapter tomorrow to make it up to you guys. 0.0

P.S.: Thank you Ali Ming for the 1500 Qidian Coins reward, thank you boss.
