League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 283: Targeting the bottom lane? Will it be effective?

Chen Dongqing, playing Vayne, walked out of the fountain and was discussing the game strategy with his teammates.

"This time, help out top lane more," Chen Dongqing shouted in the voice chat. "Let the two bot laners play by themselves."

Xiangguo readily agreed.

Uzbekistan remained silent, holding his breath.

The combination of Kog'Maw and Lulu is designed for self-sufficiency and development. Going to the bottom lane to help is not very meaningful. At most, you can use Teleport to provide support when tower diving.

Therefore, it was only natural for Xiangguo to start with the blue buff in the bottom half of the map, preparing to gank TheShy in the top lane.

But no sooner had they finished their discussion than trouble began.

The IG players grouped up early and stood in the bushes connecting the bottom lane to the river, blocking QG's vision and slowly advancing along the wall.

At 1 minute and 20 seconds, the team quickly grouped up and charged into QG's bottom blue buff area.

Four IG players emerged from the edge of the wall and suddenly appeared in QG's field of vision.

In that instant, the atmosphere below the stage shifted dramatically, a storm brewing.

Upon seeing this, Shi Senming, who was standing at the entrance to the jungle, immediately turned and ran.

But IG rushed in very quickly, and Ashe used her W to slow down Lulu at the last possible moment.

As planned, Baolan acted swiftly, and Braum landed a Q-Flash combo, sealing Shi Senming's fate with a significant slow effect.

"Braum's Q skill slows you down so much! Even Ming's Flash didn't help! IG's players can still catch up!"

Relying on Braum's high slow effect, Ashe quickly rushed to his face and continued to stick to him with basic attacks, quickly triggering Braum's control.

Immediately afterwards, jungler Zac and mid laner Galio followed up, each taking down Lulu with a single attack.

After securing the support role, the IG team continued their pressure, driving away Xiangguo and brazenly invading the blue buff!

"Holy crap." Xiangguo was taken aback by the opponent's aggressive play and was momentarily stunned. "This is going to be tough."

"It's alright," Chen Dongqing said calmly. "The other side just wants to switch jungle camps, so let's switch with them. You start with red buff and quickly reach level three, then head to top lane. We'll just dive Camille."

"OK." Xiangguo nodded. Upon hearing the plan, he instantly devised a jungle route.

Fortunately, he has good gaming habits; he doesn't learn skills before the monsters spawn.

He can directly learn E at level 1, then start with F6, which allows him to maintain a good state and clear the three jungle camps in the red zone as quickly as possible.

Chen Dongqing switched screens to check the situation in the jungle and nodded in satisfaction.

It has to be said that Xiangguo is much better than those undisciplined junglers in ranked matches; he's easy to understand once you explain it.

At this moment, the minions on the top lane were being exchanged, and Chen Dongqing adapted accordingly, changing his laning strategy.

Since the jungler came to gank from the top half of the map, the speed must be faster than normal.

Then he can no longer slowly push and control the lane; he must focus on fast pushing and harassing the enemy's health.

This time, Chen Dongqing didn't even get stuck on the experience of the three melee minions. He quickly pushed the lane with basic attacks as soon as he logged in, and perfectly controlled the distance. He would roll in and poke at the opportunity to maximize his damage output.

He doesn't actually gain an advantage in this laning phase because if he attacks Camille, he'll be focused down by minions, and it will also cause the wave to push faster.

Pushing the minion wave to the tower before the third wave arrives, without considering the jungler, is actually a bad thing.

Because Camille can use tower dives and push the lane to reach level three first, and even launch a counter-attack.

But that's not possible.

Because hot pot will definitely come.

Furthermore, because IG invaded the blue buff at the start, it was difficult for NING to provide support to the top lane.

At this time, Ning had just joined the team, and TheShy had not yet shown his talent. The synergy between IG's top and jungle players had not yet been formed.

TheShy's situation is already hopeless.

Soon, the third wave of minions had just reached the first tower when the level 2 Vayne, with her push power maximized, pushed the wave into the tower's interior.

At the same time, the hot pot arrived.

This tower dive started in less than two minutes.

A level 2 Vayne, a level 3 Lee Sin.

Camille with 70% health remaining at level 2.

"Camille also has a passive shield and Flash!" Colonel Guan shouted in the voice chat, "Is it really possible to jump over her? Camille is playable!"

As the commander of the tower dive, Chen Dongqing immediately said, "I'll take the hit."

He waited until the Lee Sin got close to Camille, then launched a basic attack at Camille.

At this moment, you can see that the red line of the turret immediately locks onto Vayne.

We can also see that there is no white circle under Camille's feet, which means that Vayne did not learn W at level two.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through TheShy's mind.

He can't use his E directly because he'll inevitably be pinned to the wall by Vayne, and the enemy team is holding onto their pinned wall just waiting for that moment.

He chose to use a basic attack on Lee Sin, aiming to trigger his physical shield first.

But at that very moment, Lee Sin used his E skill [Thunderbolt] to slam the ground, dealing magic damage to Camille.

Camille's passive adaptive shield is very flexible; it might be a physical shield one second, but change form the next second due to a burst of magic damage.

As in the current situation, Lee Sin originally had a physical shield, but because Lee Sin's first damage to Camille was a magic shield, this directly caused the shield's attribute to change.

A blue shield appeared on TheShy's body, and his expression changed drastically.

bad thing!

Vayne's arrows and Lee Sin's fists continued to rain down on him, and TheShy had to react quickly.

This time, he chose to stick to the wall, and then used W [Tactical Sweep]!

Here he used a little trick: while sticking to the wall, he used the casting animation of W to cover the casting animation of E.

Once this "E" is removed, there will be room for further maneuvering!

But it's a pity.

Chen Dongqing is the originator of the "Golden Steel Shadow" move; he was the first to use this technique.

The moment Chen Dongqing saw Camille use her W, he immediately used his E to shoot her into the wall, followed by an auto-attack, and then used his Q to roll away from the tower.

This combo was almost perfect. An E to pin the wall broke Camille's hook, and then a Q to dash out of the tower with low health!

After leaving the tower, Xiangguo landed a Q to secure the kill, followed by an A and then [Echo Slam], quickly crippling Camille!

Chen Dongqing then walked back into the tower, unleashed a powerful basic attack, and secured the kill!

Xiangguo kept holding onto his W, and seeing that Camille was dead, he immediately used W to touch Vayne, leaving the tower with one-third of his health.

"They dove it! Nice!" Colonel Guan couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "The two of them perfectly tanked the tower, making this tower dive the ultimate."

The audience below the stage applauded and cheered.

This tower dive reminded them of the time in Season 6 when the two players treated the turrets like they didn't exist.

"Come on, let's share the lane!" Chen Dongqing pinged a signal, indicating to Xiangguo that he wanted to share the wave of siege minions under the enemy tower.

Xiangguo didn't hold back either, crippling every soldier and even punishing the siege engine soldier, all so that Chen Dongqing could return to the city two seconds earlier.

When it comes to supporting one's father on the road, Xiangguo is now absolutely top-notch.

Chen Dongqing chose to return to the city where he was.

While Chen Dongqing was returning to the city to upgrade his equipment, Ning Wang was also catching someone.

Zac, this hero, is ruthless when it comes to ganking. He flew over using his ability and headed straight for Shi Senming, who had no Flash available.

Fortunately, Xiaoming's play was passable this time; he managed to dodge Zac's Q skill with a well-placed movement and escape.

But only a little over three minutes have passed, and Shi Senming's Flash will not be ready until more than five minutes later.

In the next two minutes, Ning Wang will definitely continue to make moves.

Next time, the bottom lane might not be able to escape.

We need to speed up when we get on the road!

Due to the immense offensive pressure, Chen Dongqing didn't even choose to build the standard Blade of the Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade for Vayne in this game. Instead, he took a different approach and chose to build the Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge build.

Both Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge have been reduced in price this version, and Vayne with the three-item set of Statikk Shiv, Infinity Edge, and Rapid Firecannon now accounts for a large proportion of ranked games.

Compared to the Blade of the Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade, which together cost nearly 7,000 gold to complete a Vayne build, the Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge only require 6000 gold to complete, resulting in a much earlier power spike.

What Chen Dongqing needs to do now is to work with Xiangguo to accelerate their pace and try to take down the first tower in the top lane.

Otherwise, the bottom lane might not be able to hold on.

After returning to the game, Chen Dongqing continued to dominate Camille, not even letting her farm minions, and would immediately charge in to attack as soon as his Q skill was ready.

Even if Camille uses her E skill, it doesn't matter. With Chen Dongqing's reaction, as long as she's not too close, he has plenty of time to use his E skill to repel Camille.

The opponent had no chance to fight back at all.

This is Vayne; when it comes to dealing with short-range heroes, Vayne is absolutely top-tier.

On the other side, TheShy, known for his aggressive playstyle and relentless pursuit of lane dominance, watched as Vayne relentlessly pierced his body with arrows. Instead of getting angry or frustrated, he inexplicably laughed.

He seemed to gradually understand everything.

So that's how top laners play.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Ning seized the last twenty seconds of Lulu's Flash ability and returned to the bottom lane!

This time, Xihuang Ashe initiated the attack, using W and A to slow Lulu down. Zac seized the opportunity, using E to jump directly into Lulu's face, and landing with his Q skill to hit Lulu squarely!

Immediately afterwards, Ning Wang decisively stepped forward and came to Da Kog'Maw's side, trying to control both of them at the same time with a basic attack!

Uzi was startled and quickly pressed the dodge button. Fortunately, he dodged quickly and was not pulled back.

But Ning Wang didn't care. He turned around and used a basic attack on a minion, pulling Lulu back with a snap.

Braum followed up with a Q to slow down Shi Senming, and Shi Senming died again.

Moreover, IG's bot lane offensive didn't stop there; the three of them immediately turned around to push the lane, clearly intending to take down the tower.

Faced with this situation, Uzbekistan immediately called for help via voice chat.

It wasn't that he wanted to farm this wave of minions, but the main problem was that if he retreated, the bottom lane tower would be in danger.

There was no other way; Gordway's Syndra had to teleport to the bottom lane to provide some protection.

This teleportation essentially handed over the early-game advantage in the mid lane to the opponent.

Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Galio is about to reach his level 7 power spike, and from that moment on, the situation in the mid lane may be reversed.

Seeing this, the audience members couldn't help but frown slightly.

This scene is strikingly similar to the situation against EDG a few days ago.

The bottom lane was constantly ganked and forced into a collapse, while the mid lane didn't have much of an advantage either.

If no one steps up, this game will likely end in another loss.

However, the top laner in this game was not the inexperienced 369.

The camera suddenly switched to the top lane, where another wave of minions was seen pushing into the tower.

As expected, the Blind Monk appeared from behind.

The two junglers were playing their own games, one aggressively attacking the bottom lane and the other aggressively attacking the top lane, both going to extremes, as if whoever counter-ganked first would lose.

In this situation, both mid-laners will be running themselves ragged.

The moment the two appeared, a teleportation light flashed, clearly from Rookie in the mid lane.

Chen Dongqing declared without hesitation: "Ignore him, you tank the tower, we'll go straight for the kill!"

Five minutes have passed now, and both players have all their skills available. It's not particularly difficult to kill a Camille who is underdeveloped and has low health.

"OK!" Xiangguo readily agreed, then used his E skill to slam the ground and draw the turret's aggro.

Chen Dongqing decisively used AEA, pinning Qinggangying to the wall while simultaneously unleashing a triple ring.

Lee Sin landed his Q, followed by a basic attack and then the second Q. Chen Dongqing then used an AQA combo to secure another kill on Camille!

Just like last time, Xiangguo used his W skill to touch Chen Dongqing, and the two quickly left the tower.

The next instant, Galio teleported and landed.

Rookie didn't want to see his little brother die like that, so after landing, he chased after him, using E to start charging up with W.

Seeing this, Xiangguo pondered for a long time but decided not to use his Flash.

This Flash is very useful to him; it doesn't matter if he gives it to Galio.

The next second, Galio flashed in with W and used QA to finish off the low-health Lee Sin.

Chen Dongqing, however, was relentless. He chased after Galio and relentlessly attacked him until Galio lost his fighting ability before finally leaving satisfied.

So, although Rookie got the kill in the top lane, he needed to return to base to heal.

Meanwhile, Goldwyn, who had been supporting the bottom lane, returned directly to the mid lane.

This indirectly helped the mid laner.

"Do we still need to gank top lane?" Xiangguo asked after buying his equipment during the respawn time. "I'll be level six after one more round of farming."

"No need." Chen Dongqing shook his head: "I can handle the top lane myself."

"Then I'll go help Bielu."

OK.

For the remainder of the match, the rhythm of the two junglers continued to be the core of the game.

Seven minutes later, Prince Ning continued to grab.

Lulu's Flash was ready again, but at the same time, Kog'Maw's Flash was gone!

Moreover, at this point, IG stopped pretending. Relying on Ashe and Braum's laning ability, they pushed the minion wave to QG's tower, and then Zac leaped into the tower!

This is also a very dangerous wave. If we can't hold it, the bottom lane will still collapse!

Fortunately, this time, Xiangguo finally came to the bottom lane.

He imitated Peanut's counter-ganking strategy from the Mid-Season Invitational, with Lee Sin standing at the edge of the vision range behind him, waiting for Zac to confirm that he was charging into the tower before slowly stepping into IG's vision and then using his W to poke in.

The appearance of this blind monk startled Prince Ning.

What happened to the rule that each person would be responsible for one route?

At this point, even if he wanted to run, it wouldn't work. Lulu used Polymorph on him to keep him in place, and the turrets fired fiercely at him.

At this moment, Baolan wanted to jump up to help Ning retreat with the shield, but the next second, Lee Sin kicked out, not only sending Braum flying who had just jumped up, but also knocking Zac down with it!

As a newcomer to the LPL, Ning still retains his reckless style from his later years, but his actions nowadays are somewhat lacking in consideration.

If it were Ning from S8, he might have called Rookie over as well, and with Galio's ultimate protecting him, they would have forced a tower dive right in front of Xiangguo.

Although IG didn't seem to lose anything on the surface, only giving away a kill, in reality, their rhythm was completely disrupted.

This match is essentially a race against time; whoever breaks through the tower first gains the advantage.

That's why Prince Ning frantically scrambled around, trying to increase the speed.

Now that IG's bot lane has failed in their attempt to steal a win and ended up losing, it's QG's turn to take the lead.

In the mid lane, despite knowing that both junglers were in the bottom lane, Gao Dewei suddenly increased his pressure in the mid lane.

Syndra, who was the first to reach level seven, relentlessly used her Q on Galio, leaving Rookie unable to move.

Rookie wasn't in a hurry. He just needed the minion wave to push over so he could also reach level seven and gain lane control by pushing back the lane, which would be his opportunity to roam.

But of course he didn't know that TheShy wouldn't be able to wait until he reached level 7.

On the top lane, the minion wave pushed into the tower again.

At this moment, Vayne had the Yellow Cross and the Short Sword in her hands, and her attack speed was already at its maximum.

Without Lee Sin this time, TheShy thought he could finally comfortably farm under the tower, but he quickly discovered that the enemy Vayne didn't seem to think so.

Vayne played extremely aggressively, charging directly into the turret and firing an arrow at Camille!

The turret's red line immediately locked onto Vayne, but the turret seemed to be under control, and the attack couldn't be launched until Vayne moved out of the turret's range.

After leaving the tower, Vayne was quite arrogant. She rolled back with a Q, blocking the tower's attack opportunity, then hit it with another auto-attack before leaving the tower again!

TheShy didn't dare to farm this time and obediently retreated to the tower.

But after Vayne left the tower, she turned back and managed to push him close to the back of the tower, forcibly chasing him down and landing a three-hit combo!

This three-hit combo dealt very solid damage, directly reducing Camille's health by 30%.

After Chen Dongqing finished A, he moved back out of the tower again.

Throughout this entire process, the turrets didn't hit Vayne even once.

Young Jiang was shocked; could a long-range top laner really be played like this?

After completing the three-ring attack, Chen Dongqing stopped pretending and activated his ultimate skill, entering the tower again and unleashing a basic attack on Camille once more!

TheShy was well-prepared this time. Camille seized the opportunity, hooked onto the wall next to her, and delivered a quick kick!

But Chen Dongqing reacted quickly, using his E skill to pin Camille back to the wall along her trajectory, and then unleashed a basic attack that hit three times!

Camille's health is down to just over 30%!

TheShy was completely stunned; he didn't even have a chance to get the Aegis.

He didn't care anymore at this point, and Camille flashed in and used her ultimate to lock Vayne under the tower.

But while Camille was in the air, Chen Dongqing used Q+Flash, dashing out of the tower in two quick moves, and also taking Camille out of the tower with him.

Although Camille can trigger her passive shield and Q skill for speed after landing her ultimate, what's the point?

Chen Dongqing used his ultimate skill to accelerate and chased after Camille, then used a triple strike to secure the kill!

Only seven minutes had passed, but this was already Camille's third death.

Seven minutes is also the time it takes for the towers on the top and middle lanes to lose their protective effect.

Nowadays, the top lane tower is no different from the bottom lane tower; they are both equally vulnerable.

Vayne unleashed a barrage of arrows, taking down the top lane tower in one fell swoop.

IG suffered a crushing defeat in this head-to-head battle against QG.

Meanwhile, QG fans were also feeling emotional.

Having a big dad on the road is really great.

Targeting the bot lane? Is it effective?
