League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 268 Find a way to take her down

Chen Dongqing right-clicked Camille and stood at the entrance of his own blue buff area. He looked at KT's lineup and was thinking about his strategy for this game.

"Smeb's got some nerve," Xiangguo laughed. "I really didn't expect him to pick Rumble as his last pick."

Rumble is a completely different champion in the LPL and LCK.

LCK matches are too focused on strategy and have fewer team fights, which is why short-range, high-damage champions like Rumble have remained popular.

But it's different in the LPL.

Heroes with no mobility or crowd control are practically no different from toys.

The S5 FMVP has personally proven that picking a champion like Rumble, who has no mobility or crowd control, against an LPL team is tantamount to feeding.

Smeb's decision to pick Rumble as his last pick clearly shows he's never been to the LPL and has never experienced a tough time.

Moreover, QG's strategy in this game was to focus on the top, mid, and jungle, making it a foregone conclusion that they would target Rumble.

The problem is, how to kill this Rambo most efficiently?

If you can only get a kill once you reach level six, that's too inefficient and doesn't fit QG's style.

It's best to kill them directly at level three!

Thinking of this, Chen Dongqing suddenly had an idea.

In the final game of last year's finals, Chen Dongqing's Fiora suffered inhuman targeting from ROX, even falling to a 0-2 score at one point.

In that game, ROX's mid laner Kuro pulled off a self-destructive gank on the top lane.

Soon, the minion wave spawned.

A level 1 Camille is at a disadvantage against Rumble, and the opponent is also a skilled Rumble player. Chen Dongqing didn't try to force lane control; he just let the lane go.

In the first two levels of the laning phase, Chen Dongqing displayed exceptional skill, utilizing the slow and healing effect of his W skill, as well as his passive magic shield, to maintain a balanced trade of blows.

However, there is still a fundamental difference in wave clear ability between Camille and Rumble, and the minion wave is still slowly advancing towards QG's tower.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dongqing instead curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

coming.

Chen Dongqing immediately changed his laning strategy and became more aggressive. Camille, who had learned QW at level two, even dared to go up and trade blows!

However, this almost mindless exchange of blows makes no sense. After all, Rumble is no pushover either. After two exchanges, Camille was already at a health disadvantage.

Smeb was puzzled when he saw this, but after a moment's thought, he quickly understood Camille's purpose.

Camille didn't want to win the trade against Rumble; instead, she wanted to use her body to whittle down one of Rumble's Qs, thereby slowing down Rumble's wave clear.

Next, even Smeb's all-out push on the lane was ineffective.

After he quickly cleared the third wave of minions, the fourth wave of minions arrived just in time, pushing the minion wave to the front of the QG tower.

This is actually a very disadvantageous position for Smeb, because he is easy to catch here.

But it's not a big problem for Smeb.

Like Chen Dongqing, Smeb has bodyguards with knives.

"Hey Wanghu, can you come and protect the top lane?" Smeb asked in the voice chat.

"Okay, buddy, I'm already heading to the top lane!" Peanut quickly responded, as Lee Sin had already reached the river and was very close to the top lane.

While the two were chatting, Xiangguo's Gragas had already emerged from KT's Ueno area a step ahead!

That's the downside of the red team's top lane; it's easy for the enemy jungler to flank from behind!

Upon seeing the barrel, Smeb quickly analyzed the situation. He realized his path to the river was blocked by the barrel, leaving him no choice but to pull towards the top lane bush while shouting, "Wanghu, come quick! We can fight this!"

Camille was pushed back and was only level two with low health, while Smeb was level three. Smeb didn't think they would lose this 2v2!

But just then, Xiangguo planted a fake ward halfway through the way, and a TP (Teleport) button instantly lit up.

KT's Ueno and Ueno were both startled.

Where did this TP come from?

This TP (Take Off) is just like last summer when Durant announced he was joining the Warriors, instantly disrupting the balance on the court.

Little Peanut reacted quickly; the moment he saw the teleportation light up, he turned and ran.

Collapse, retreat, and flee!

The moment the teleportation light appeared, Peanut already understood what QG was up to.

As the jungler, he had been observing all three lanes and knew that QG's mid laner Galio had been sacrificing health to push the lane as soon as the minions appeared.

With the full recovery from the Corruption Potion, Galio forcefully pushed the minion wave into the tower behind the siege minion line, then recalled and disappeared.

This strategy is actually a standard Galio laning approach: sell health to push the lane, return to base to replenish health and mana, and when you return to lane, the opponent usually hasn't pushed the minion wave yet, allowing you to fight two lives for one.

Of course, there is a variation of this gameplay.

Push the lane at level 3, recall to base, and then teleport to the top lane, just like that.

Peanuts was all too familiar with this scene, because they had dealt with Ilex in the same way six months ago.

At the time, their mid laner Kuro chose Karma. He kept pushing the lane, and after pushing, he teleported to the top lane and directly killed Ilex under the tower.

Now, QG is doing the same thing.

Gragas' Q skill slows down the enemy, and Galio teleports to land; these two combined have about 800 crowd control abilities.

Even if Camille only has two levels, it's still completely useless.

Chen Dongqing simply walked up slowly, swept his leg with a W, then followed up with an A and a Q, easily taking down the enemy.

"First blood!"

With a simple and straightforward opening strategy, the first blood was born!

Smeb watched his screen turn black and white, feeling utterly powerless.

There's really no other way.

After killing the enemy, QG's top, mid, and jungle players scattered on the spot.

Gao Dewei and Xiangguo quickly headed to the mid lane, just in time to farm a wave of mid lane minions.

Chen Dongqing returned to his tower and continued to slowly farm minions under the tower.

There were too many minions piled up, and Chen Dongqing could keep blocking the tower indefinitely. As a result, Smeb had to teleport back to lane and push the minion wave into the tower.

As expected, Smeb teleported to the minions immediately after respawning and used his Q skill to push the minion wave into the tower.

Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction, slowly completing a wave of tower cuts with Camille.

At this point, he had run out of mana, so Chen Dongqing returned to the city and then teleported back online.

When she re-entered the game, Camille, who had secured First Blood, already had a Sheen weapon in her hand.

Chen Dongqing is no longer afraid of Rumble. He first placed a ward in the river to make sure the enemy Lee Sin was not there, and then directly hung on the wall and kicked him with EW!

W's outer edge scrapes and lands with AQ, then waits for the true damage to appear, followed by another kick with Sheen!

The double Sheen damage was fully applied, and one combo took away nearly half of Rambo's health!

Looking at Camille's Radiance and then at the Amplification Tome he had bought during his return to town, Smeb felt a surge of bitterness.

Isn't this pairing up just bullying?

Smeb had only been out of the base for a short time when he had to return to base to heal, losing a significant amount of gold.

Moreover, Smeb's tough times have only just begun.

The main difficulty in training Rambo during military training is before level six.

Once you reach level six, military training becomes much easier.

For the next two minutes, the clash between the midfielders and junglers continued.

The gank on top lane by Gordway at level 3 was actually a bad move for him, since Galio was already slightly behind Syndra in lane, and losing a TP meant he couldn't keep up with his supplies. Gordway was pushed back to mid lane and was constantly pressured under the tower, never managing to come out.

With no other option, Gao Dewei could only call Xiangguo over for help. Even if he couldn't catch him, Xiangguo could push the lane and return to base to heal.

However, Peanut's strategy was also quite clever, with Lee Sin counter-ganking in the mid lane!

Peanut's vision control is unparalleled. The Lee Sin was standing right behind Syndra, but QG couldn't see him at all!

The instant Xiangguo made his move, Lee Sin swiftly emerged from the shadows, using his W to close the distance and, at the very last second, blocked Galio's [Righteous Punch] with his bare body!

After this E block, a gap appeared in QG's mid-jungle control chain. Pawn seized the opportunity, stunning Gragas with a push ball, and then unleashed a WR combo!

Peanut also used his E to slam the ground, followed by AQRQA. The strength of the top mid-jungle duo Syndra and Lee Sin began to show. Even though Gragas was tough and tanky, he could only obediently return to the fountain after taking a full combo from the two of them!

This wave had a devastating impact on the game's tempo, as it resulted in not only Xiangguo losing his life but also Gao Dewei being relentlessly attacked until he was low on health and had to return to base to heal.

As a result, Gouder will lose a significant number of minion waves.

But it's not a big problem.

Top lane is QG's mid and jungle's eternal home.

When you really have no rhythm, just go to the road to withdraw money.

Galio can recall to base without pushing the lane, while Pawn needs to push the minion wave to the tower with Peanut before recalling, which makes Galio's recall speed faster.

Furthermore, after Gordway recalls and buys Mercury's Treads, his movement speed with the tier-two boots is one point faster than Syndra's when she enters lane without boots!

Due to a combination of factors, there was a time difference between the two mid laners' online appearances.

Taking advantage of this time, Galio quickly pushed the minion wave forward!

Syndra just came online at that moment, but Goldwyn didn't even bother to glance at her and swaggered off to the top lane!

Seeing this, Pawn could only ping the signal repeatedly, and then added in the voice chat, "Galio's here, get out of here!"

On the top lane, a wave of minions is currently pushing towards the tower.

Upon hearing the news, Smeb had no choice but to abandon the wave of minions under the tower and retreat towards the secluded bushes, hoping to weather this storm first.

Lambo, at a disadvantage, had no say whatsoever.

But once you reach this stage, it's not like Smeb can just run away whenever he wants.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the distance to Galio and calmly continued his pursuit.

He waited until Godve said, "OK, the distance is enough," before using his E to hang on the wall, followed by a WE kick to Rumble. Then, Hextech Ultimatum was activated, creating a large matrix that locked Rumble in place!

At the same time, another giant magic circle unfolded simultaneously, seamlessly integrated with Camille's ultimate. Rumble was powerless to resist and could only watch as Galio descended from the sky, sending him flying high into the air!

Taking advantage of the knockback, Chen Dongqing delivered a powerful kick that brought Rambo's health down to less than half!

Galio immediately charged forward with a Justice Punch after landing, but unfortunately, the distance was a little too short, and he failed to knock Rumble into the air.

Galio then activated [Duran's Shield] and began charging up. Smeb dared not take the taunt and could only Flash away.

But this version of Galio is quite overpowered, he can also use W Flash. Gao Dewei immediately followed up with Flash, forcibly taunting Rumble, and then unleashing a QA combo to deal damage!

Rambo is fragile, and his health bar is dropping rapidly!

"You take it." Chen Dongqing kicked Rambo to near-death, then turned and left, giving the kill to his teammate.

Gao Dewei lost a lot of points by ganking top lane twice, so he has to get a kill to make up for it.

Galio landed a basic attack, and Rumble was down to 0-2.

Smeb was eliminated for the second time, and he was still helpless this time.

It wasn't until this point that Smeb finally understood the strength of the Camille-Galio combo.

The two ultimate abilities, 【Hexos' Ultimatum】 and 【Hero's Appearance】, have created a wonderful synergy, making it almost impossible for anyone to survive a combo attack.

Smeb was the first victim!

Meanwhile, cheers erupted from the audience, and the live stream chat was buzzing with discussion.

Holy crap, those two ultimate moves are seriously overpowered!

[Sure, after this game is over, I'll go play a round with my best buddy.]

Don't go, Camille is practically useless now.

This is what happens when you pick Rumble against QG!

[Classic 0-2, if Smeb can pull off another comeback and kill Tree, that would be perfect]

Smeb is now almost in a dead end. With a 0-2 start and an opponent who is 1-0-1, everyone feels that the top lane matchup is over.

Wait, this scene seems familiar?

Smeb stared at the scene before him, slightly dazed, as if he had dreamt of returning to six months ago.

在那时候，他的锐雯就是1-0-1，对面的剑姬就是0-2-0。

"Yeah, I've seen that before!" Wawa shouted from the LPL commentary booth, "Smeb and Tree had the same stats that night at Staples Center!"

But this time, the situation has reversed!

"But at Staples Center, Tree's Fiora managed to kill Riven!" Miller added with a laugh. "Can Smeb pull off a comeback this time?"

"I can only say the chances are slim," Su Xiaoyan shook her head. "Even if Fiora is 0-2, you'd still think she can turn the tide and get a kill, but with Rumble..."

Those who know, know. A Rambo with a score of 0-2 is just a pushover.

KT understands Rumble's situation and is considering countermeasures.

"Can we gank Camille?" Peanut asked. "Otherwise, we can't control the top lane."

Deft and Mata in the bot lane got a headache as soon as they heard this.

Why can't I control myself again?

But Smeb wasn't one to leech off others; he understood his situation and could only say, "You guys don't need to worry about me, hurry up and go to the bottom lane. I should be able to hold the top lane for a few more minutes."

Rumble has an ultimate ability to clear waves, so he should be able to hold the tower for a minute or two, right?

The competition is still ongoing.

The laning situation in the top lane has been completely reversed. Now Camille can push the lane at will, while Rumble can't get out from under the tower.

At this moment, Peanut made another move in the mid lane.

Galio, who just used Flash in the top lane, is clearly a hot commodity.

Peanut exploited the blind spot in Godve's vision control setup, and Lee Sin made a long detour to the QGF6 camp to wait.

Seizing the moment Pawn's push hits, immediately ward up, flash over and kick Galio away!

Lee Sin's RQQ combo is guaranteed to hit, and AE chases down and beats him mercilessly, finally securing the kill with Syndra's ultimate!

KT's mid-jungle advantage has always existed, and now Peanut has further expanded this advantage.

Whoever controls the mid lane controls the bottom lane. Once the mid lane is freed up, breaking through the bottom lane is a piece of cake.

On the road, Chen Dongqing watched the scene without much reaction.

It has to be said that as a team that dominates the LCK, KT's ability to seize opportunities is also top-notch. They can always find some loopholes to launch unpredictable attacks!

In other words, it's inevitable that some players will lose against KT; it's impossible to achieve a clean sweep like against wildcard teams.

In situations like this, cutting losses elsewhere is the best course of action.

At this moment, Xiangguo's Gragas also arrived in the bottom lane, and together with Shi Senming's Lulu, they accelerated forward, E in and used R to force Deft to use Flash.

Chen Dongqing also made the same move, quickly pushing a wave of minions into the tower. At this moment, a Rumble with full health was standing under the tower.

Because it was a fast push, the minion wave didn't accumulate much, with only a few remaining minions. Smeb thought for a moment and decided to save his ultimate and clear the wave with his Q skill.

But this one province cost him his life.

Chen Dongqing knew that these minions wouldn't last long, so he moved quickly, used his Q skill to kick the turret, and then boldly walked towards Rumble!

He used his E skill to hook Rumble outside the tower, and then delivered a true damage kick.

This classic tower-drain harassment tactic leaves Rumble helpless without any crowd control, forced to watch as he loses a third of his health!

Smeb sensed something was wrong, and Rumble activated his W to accelerate and retreat.

But Camille moved swiftly, hanging on the wall, unleashing her W [Tactical Sweep], and then kicking directly into the tower!

Although Rumble had already used W to run a distance, Camille still had Flash available.

First, wait for the outer edge to hit, then a flash of golden light, and Camille flashes and uses her E to stun Rumble!

Using his E skill's attack speed to kick a few times, Chen Dongqing immediately used his Q skill to kick Rumble, then used his ultimate to ascend into the air to clear the turret's aggro. After landing, he used a basic attack, followed by another kick to pull Rumble back up, and Rumble's health bar was completely emptied!

Against the superior Camille, Rumble had no say whatsoever!

Lady Grey swayed gracefully as she walked out of the turret, still with a third of her health remaining.

The score was 0-2, but six months ago Chen Dongqing was able to turn the tide and win a game from 0-2 down.

Smeb, on the other hand, could only stand under the tower and was solo-dived, resulting in a 0-3 score.

It can only be said that he went astray when he decided to choose Rambo.

Chen Dongqing stared at Rambo's corpse beneath the tower, his mind already deep in thought.

After this tower dive and solo kill, it's basically certain that Rumble has lost connection.

It's not worth continuing to invest too much energy in this Rambo.

Next, we need to focus on the side lanes.

Chen Dongqing returned to the city and bought Tiamat. Instead of going straight for Trinity Force, he first improved his lane pushing and roaming ability.

His first item for this game is Ravenous, as that will maximize his combat power.

He turned his attention to the middle lane.

At this moment in the mid lane, Pawn's Syndra had a score of 1-0-1, and her CS was nearly 20 CS ahead of GodV's. She was also blocking Galio's tower and playing very aggressively, which clearly indicated that she had someone behind her.

This Syndra seems a bit too arrogant.

We need to find a way to take her down.
