League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 144 You're not still a Faker fan, are you?

After gaining an advantage in the bottom lane, SKT returned to their normal laning phase.

At this point, QG naturally had to launch a counterattack.

Doinb then sent the other person's summoner information in the chat box.

"1130MID 1140AD"

Neither of the two carries flashed, so Xiangguo decisively locked his target on the mid lane.

Faker used his Flash and ultimate in the last wave, and is currently vulnerable. It would be unreasonable not to gank him.

So, after leveling up to level 6 by farming jungle monsters, Xiangguo decisively went to the mid lane, waited for a while, and quickly made his move when he sensed a suitable opportunity!

Gragas immediately used E-Flash to move forward, and then used his ultimate to blast Faker right next to Nautilus!

Doinb then immediately took control, as if the kills were already in his grasp!

But just then, SKT reinforcements arrived!

Xiao Hei (blank) was once given a secret by Bengi, which contained Bengi's secret to winning games. When opened, it contained only three big words: Protect the middle lane!

Xiao Hei's Nidalee immediately went to support the mid lane, and Wolf was following behind her!

With Nidalee and Karma, one providing healing and the other a shield, the two managed to save Faker's life thanks to their protective abilities!

Faker used Ice Claw, then used W to stomp on QG's mid and jungle, and used the second Ice Claw to teleport and escape!

"Ah, what a pity!" Colonel Guan's tone was full of regret: "This time, Gragas used Flash and his ultimate, but didn't get any kills. To be honest, it's a bit of a blow!"

At this point, Xiangguo couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he also knew that there was nothing wrong with his team in this wave; it was just that SKT's support was well executed.

If only one of them, Nidalee and Karma, had been missing, they would have succeeded this time.

Noticing his teammates' anxiety, Chen Dongqing reassured them, "It's okay, don't worry. I have a big advantage in the top lane. You guys can come to the top lane and think of some solutions."

Actually, the top lane already has a significant advantage, so it doesn't matter whether we help or not. But seeing our teammates make mistakes repeatedly, the only option now is to gank the top lane.

"OK." Xiangguo nodded. "If the enemy makes another move next wave, we'll just trade towers. Jian Zihao, be careful in the bottom lane. I won't be helping you counter-gank next wave."

"Uh, OK." Uzi nodded with difficulty, indicating that he understood. He had already anticipated that his game would turn out quite badly.

Meanwhile, SKT's momentum continues.

Although Bang got the kill, EZ is a champion who needs to build Tear of the Goddess in the early game. Moreover, the current EZ usually builds Sheen first and then Manamune, in order to bring forward the power spike of Manamune.

However, this will inevitably slow down the economy in the early stages, so some support and protection are still needed.

SKT's approach to protecting him was quite ruthless. A minute later, they surrounded him with four players again, directly targeting Uzi who was without DF.

This time, Uzbekistan didn't give them a chance and fled back to the base of the tower.

SKT wasn't in a hurry, as this was within their expectations. Bang continued to control the bottom lane minion wave in front of the tower, causing Uzi to lose more minions.

Meanwhile, Wolf left the bottom lane and joined up with the mid and jungle, then stormed into QG's bottom blue buff area, eyeing the newly formed blue buff.

Operations are developed slowly, wave after wave. Even if you don't get a kill this time, you still managed to get Uzi to take one less wave of minions and steal some jungle monsters. The difference between the two sides is several hundred gold.

"It's fine, just give me the blue buff." Xiangguo, who was already on the top lane, didn't seem to care: "We don't need the blue buff anyway."

This isn't just empty talk; with a Gragas and a Nautilus, they really don't need the Blue Buff much.

The blue buff was undoubtedly taken by Nidalee. Then, SKT's mid and jungle returned to the mid lane and cleared the entire mid lane minion wave. They then coordinated again, this time targeting the dragon.

The dragon is not a high priority in this version. In fact, many teams will choose to invade the buff without hesitation when faced with a choice between fighting the dragon and invading the buff.

Soon, the first dragon was secured, granting 8% ability power and attack damage, making SKT's early-game advantage even more secure.

But at the same time, the first wave of attacks by Xiangguo finally spread.

This time, they chose to dive the full-health Maokai directly!

As the Slark pushed the lane into the tower, Gragas immediately ganked behind the Treant Protector, and the director quickly moved the camera up to him!

"Should we tower dive this time?" Colonel Guan immediately glanced at both sides' abilities: "Fizz used his ultimate last time, it's not ready yet, but he has Ignite! Meanwhile, Maokai has his ultimate!"

The tree's ultimate ability has a cooldown of only 60 seconds, so even if it was used up in the last wave, it will be ready again in this wave.

But the problem isn't too big.

Seeing the barrels in position, Chen Dongqing immediately initiated with AW, simultaneously applying Ignite to reduce the tree's healing.

Xiangguo rushed forward with his belly, but Duke reacted quickly, decisively activating his ultimate to reduce damage, and then used W to bind the fishman, dodging the barrel's E!

Chen Dongqing clearly saw the tree's W, but this time he didn't use E to dodge; he still had to withstand two more tower hits.

So he didn't move, relying on his full stack of War Fever to keep attacking Tree A!

Chen Dongqing waited until the turret had reduced his health to one-third and the turret was attacking again before he finally used his invincibility to dodge the turret's attack.

At this point, Xiangguo used a basic attack to attract aggro, and then detonated his Q skill, further reducing the tree's health bar.

Chen Dongqing landed his E skill and instantly took down the tree with an AQ combo, bringing his score to 3-0!

Seeing the tree fall, Xiangguo, with his beer belly swaying, slowly walked out of the turret. He was now at full health, and taking a couple of hits from the turret wouldn't hurt him at all!

It wasn't until this point that Xiangguo finally appreciated the benefits of being on the road.

My goodness, it's so easy to grab! This is like a cash machine!

But just then, Chen Dongqing suddenly said, "Alright, you don't need to come anymore. If you come any more, the tower will break, which is not good."

The top lane turret is quite important. If it is destroyed too early, it will not only give Maokai room to develop, but also make it difficult for Chen Dongqing to develop.

After all, if the first tower is gone, the minion wave will reach the second tower as soon as it passes. Who would dare to show off in front of SKT's second tower?

"Ouch!" Xiangguo was a little disappointed. His ATM was gone, and he had to rely on himself again.

But Chen Dongqing seemed to understand Xiangguo's thoughts, and he added, "But I think we can gank the mid lane... Faker, what do you think?"

"Sure!" Doinb immediately replied, "Faker's flash has a little over a minute left, hurry up, there's a real chance!"

"OK, no problem!" Xiangguo nodded immediately, but then he said with a smile, "Chen Dongqing, what's wrong with you? You're not still a Faker fan, are you?"

"Huh?" Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Why do you say that?"

Xiangguo said, "Were you just about to call Faker the Great Demon King? Isn't that a nickname only his fans use?"

Chen Dongqing: "You're overthinking it."

While chatting, QG's top laner and jungler simultaneously recalled to base, and then headed straight for the mid lane with firm steps.

After leaving the base, the two split up, one going into the jungle and the other into the jungle, forming a pincer movement on the mid lane!

Meanwhile, on the other side, SKT was also discussing the direction of the upcoming match.

As usual, Faker calmed down his teammates in the top lane.

"It's okay, Haocheng, stay calm." Faker had lost count of how many times he had said this.

He added, "Even if the Fizz gets a lot of kills, it's useless. LPL teams' offense is very rough. Once the Fizz gains an advantage, he'll be eager to attack, and that will expose weaknesses. We just need to kill the Fizz once, and we'll win this game!"

Faker spoke with considerable confidence.

Faker understands that LPL teams are strong in early-game skirmishes, but he also understands LPL's weakness: weak mid-game macro play.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Let's wait a bit. Shanjiu, wait for me to push the minion wave, then we'll gank the top lane and relieve some pressure on Haocheng."

Blank, whose main character is Jiang Shanjiu, listened to his teammate's command and quickly agreed. He also changed his jungle route to match the following actions.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

Not long after Faker finished speaking, a barrel full of beer rushed out of the river next to him!

Faker frowned slightly.

If this gank can't kill him, then what's the point of this gank?

Seeing the approaching Titan and Gragas, Faker had a clear strategy. He threw Ice Claw under the tower and then walked into the minion wave, trying to avoid being hit by Titan's Q.

Although he knew that Titan had R, Titan's ultimate was slow. Before Titan could knock him up with his ultimate, he was sure he could use his second E to escape, and then he could do whatever he wanted.

This time, however, Titan didn't seem to be using his ultimate ability, or even his Q skill; he just kept walking straight forward.

Faker sensed something was wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

At this point, the Ice Claw had moved to the end, and Faker had no choice but to use his second E to switch positions and leave.

But just then, a lobster flew straight out from the shadows of the upper river and caught the Ice Maiden who had switched positions!

Lobsters began to circle around the Ice Maiden, and a four-second countdown appeared at her feet.

?

Faker immediately realized where the lobster came from.

This is the ultimate ability of the Murloc Manatee Hunter skin.

This skin features a little yellow hat on the murloc, and it's a favorite among many skilled murloc players.

This was a premeditated attack!

Faker realized he was in serious trouble, and with the four-second countdown remaining, he tried to move as close to the tower as possible.

However, when Fizz's ultimate hits, it will directly apply a slow effect of up to 60%, making it impossible for Crystal Maiden to move!

As QG's players drew closer and the number on their feet reached 1, Faker, with a clear mind, chose not to use his ultimate to protect himself, but instead took the hit head-on.

Top lane Fizz's ultimate doesn't deal much damage, so he can withstand it. He should use his ultimate to dodge crucial abilities.

The ultimate skill countdown ended, and a manatee rushed out from underground, biting the Ice Maiden hard, followed by a 60% slow!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiangguo had already approached. Knowing that Lissandra had no Flash or E, he decisively used his R [Exploding Barrel] to attack!

Faker knew he couldn't take this, so he finally used his ultimate ability, Frozen Tomb, to protect himself and successfully dodge Gragas's crucial ultimate!

"Hey! Blank's here! Nidalee's throwing a dart at Xiangguo, he's trying to protect Faker! And we can see SKT's Maokai and Karma are also moving towards mid lane! This wave attack needs to be quick!"

Doinb's heart was racing. He knew the key to this wave lay with him. He stood outside SKT's mid tower, mentally calculating the time, and then threw a hook ahead of time!

The timing of this hook was perfect; Crystal Maiden had just come out of her ultimate form when she was mercilessly hooked by Titan!

"Nice!" QG's Ueno and Jungler exclaimed in unison, then rushed forward together to deal damage, instantly depleting the Ice Maiden's health bar!

Chen Dongqing secured another kill thanks to his high damage output!

"Rampage!"

They kill without hesitation!
