League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 311 Top of the Points Ranking!

"Wow, Lin Weixiang's last two waves were really bad!" Wawa exclaimed happily from the commentary booth, "He died twice in one minute, and missed three waves of minions in a row!"

Miller chuckled, "That's all because QG is too freakish! Who dives under the tower the moment they go online? They're practically giving them no chance to survive!"

The most direct impact of dying twice in a row is that FPX's bottom lane tower and the water dragon next to it now belong to QG.

Xiangguo consciously withdrew from the first tower area to fight the dragon, and the remaining three took advantage of the situation to share the first tower bounty, and the economic gap between the two sides widened again!

It wasn't until QG secured the dragon that news broke that FPX had destroyed QG's top lane turret. Compared to their losses in this wave, the compensation for that turret seemed insignificant.

Most importantly, after this wave, the top lane tower was destroyed, which meant the laning phase between the two top laners was over prematurely.

The first tower has been destroyed. Kennen can just stand at the second tower, farm the lanes and jungle camps.

Even though Malphite has now surpassed Kennen, who has lost a lot of minions, in terms of level and reached level 7 first, possessing a level 4 Q skill, he has entered his absolute power spike...

But Kennen won't lane against you at all, so what's the point of being strong in lane?

Zoom suddenly felt a sense of frustration, as if he had power but nowhere to use it.

Ilex's game is truly disgusting.

With no other option, unable to find opportunities in the top lane, he had no choice but to turn his attention to the mid lane.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to push the minion wave, the Stone Golem swayed with his clumsy steps and headed straight for the mid lane!

Memorizing the timings of Summoner Spells has always been one of Doinb's strengths.

Gao Dewei's Jayce was caught out and forced to use Flash at four and a half minutes, so the Flash wouldn't be ready again until nine and a half minutes.

And it's only been nine minutes.

This is the perfect opportunity to seize the opportunity.

At this moment, Chen Dongqing also reminded his teammates in the voice chat: "Gouwei, be careful, the enemy's Krug has disappeared, they'll most likely be looking for you."

"OK," Gao Dewei nodded and immediately retreated to the tower. In the last thirty seconds before his Flash was ready again, he didn't plan to leave the tower.

But it's not very useful.

The Stone Golem suddenly appeared from the river bushes and unleashed its ultimate ability right in his face!

Gao Dewei could definitely see this kind of extremely long-distance initiation move very clearly, given his reaction time.

However, Jayce has no mobility skills, so he really can't avoid this collision.

boom!

Jess was slammed high into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Doinb pushed the ball from the limit, and under the QG championship skin, a magic orb shaped like the QG team logo was pushed over, perfectly following up with the control!

Immediately afterwards, Syndra used W to send Gao Dewei away!

"Hiss..." Gao Dewei let out a somewhat frustrated sigh and shook his head, saying, "There's nothing I can do about this flash ultimate."

"Hehe, it's nothing," Chen Dongqing said cheerfully. "We didn't lose out this time."

If you're playing in a random game and Malphite flashes and uses his ultimate to hit someone, everyone might praise you for playing well.

But this is a competition, and it's against a world champion team.

If a Golem pays a huge price for only one kill, how should the opponent respond to the counterattack?

Taking advantage of Gao Dewei's death, QG switched lanes. Uzi and Xiaoming arrived in the mid lane, cleared the mid lane, and then immediately pushed the minion wave back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Senming also launched a wave of roaming.

He and Xiangguo invaded FPX's top jungle area, first taking the newly spawned F6 camp, and then advancing to FPX's top tower.

At this moment, Zoom's rock golem was crouching under the tower, with nowhere to go.

Chen Dongqing pushed the minion wave forward, and the three of them dove the tower in one go. Zoom died under the tower without any doubt.

After the three killed their opponents, they pushed down the tower and easily took down FPX's top lane tower.

Although Zoom managed to secure a kill while roaming mid lane, overall, FPX still came out on the losing end of this wave.

The tactics and strategies in professional matches are very complex. Even if you do something, you have to consider how to avoid the consequences. You can't just play a Malphite mindlessly to withstand pressure and initiate team fights.

From then on, QG entered a crushing mode.

Ten minutes later, the Rift Herald spawned and was immediately claimed by QG.

After taking it, place it directly in the middle lane and easily take down the middle tower.

In just over ten minutes, the economic gap between the two sides had already exceeded three thousand!

Backstage in the lounge, Banbazi looked at the scene before him and nodded in satisfaction.

Their lineup was designed for the late game, but they ended up gaining an early advantage.

How could we possibly lose this game?

As expected, the rest of the game quickly became garbage time.

QG didn't even have a strong desire to attack in this game. They just needed to learn the general idea of ​​SKT's strategy, do a good job of defense and counterattack, and the victory would be easily in their hands!

Time quickly reached 35 minutes, at which point the kill score was 15:8.

Although FPX managed to secure a significant number of kills with their initiation and crowd control abilities like Malphite, Lee Sin, and Syndra, QG's counterattack came quickly. Over the course of those ten-odd minutes, the kill score remained unchanged, and FPX even lost a lot of turrets and dragons, widening their disadvantage.

At this moment, QG is using Baron Nashor to force a final team fight.

FPX is strong in team fights, so they have no reason to back down. They decisively engaged in team fights, and the five of them came to the river to prepare for battle!

"Lin Weixiang pointed out the foresight in the upgrade, noting that the Baron Nashor still has a third of its health left! Let's see what QG says then? Are they going to fight to the bitter end? Zoom's Malphite has both his ultimate and Flash!"

"Fight to the bitter end!" Uzi shouted into the voice chat, "The enemy won't dare come!"

Uzi was certain that the opposing team wouldn't dare to engage in a team fight directly, and the reason was simple: Chen Dongqing hadn't revealed his presence yet.

A fully developed Kennen, if he doesn't show himself in team fights, is a huge threat.

At this moment, QG could clearly see that Chen Dongqing's Kennen was standing at his own blue buff position, teleporting towards a control ward at the enemy's red buff position.

The teleportation distance wasn't far, but it still started from the front of the FPX players and moved to their backs.

Shi Senming had cleared the vision in FPX's red zone early on, so all of this was done silently.

Kennen's disappearance did put tremendous pressure on FPX, causing them to hesitate to even move forward for a while.

But seeing the dragon's health getting lower and lower, they finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Go get it! Go get it!" Doinb yelled in the voice chat, "Forget it, if we don't get it now, the dragon's gone!"

Zoom felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and felt immense pressure.

Should we start a group?

Let's open it then!

He simply ignored everything else, seized a good opportunity, and flashed forward, crashing into the center between Jayce and Kog'Maw!

This time, in order to ensure that he could hit the person, he even used Flash to close the distance before hitting them, so that his ultimate move would be faster.

But it's still useless.

In that instant, two golden lights flashed one after the other!

All five members of QG are incredibly talented; when it comes to reaction speed, they are second to none!

Gao Dewei and Uzi simultaneously dodged the close-range impact!

The Stone Man used Flash and his ultimate, but instead of hitting anyone, he ended up walking right into the midst of QG's five-man team!

"Take the dragon first!" Xiangguo threw his ultimate into the dragon pit, stunning the Lee Sin who was trying to fight with Smite!

The rest of the teammates unleashed their damage, instantly killing the dragon with 2,000 HP!

After taking the dragon, the next step is, of course, to kill people!

Shi Senming was too lazy to even turn the stone golem into a sheep. Instead, he cast W and E on his teammate, and with the Ardent Censer effect, Uzi immediately started spitting fire!

Even with three tank items, Malphite is still no match for Kog'Maw with four items!

The Stone Golem's health plummeted, and it was eventually killed by Jayce with a single blow!

On the other side, the four FPX players were also very anxious about this situation. They huddled together and desperately tried to come up and deal damage!

Although the Malphite gave away a kill in this team fight, he at least managed to force out two Flashes and take a lot of damage, right?

Doinb had the ball in his hand, pondering how to stun both Kog'Maw and Lulu together, so that Lulu wouldn't be able to use her ultimate...

But at that moment, the situation on the field changed dramatically, and a cheer suddenly erupted from the audience!

If Doinb had a god-like perspective right now, he could see that Kennen was standing on the edge of FPX's red buff area, on the other side of the thick wall extending down from the Baron pit, and had successfully positioned himself.

But Doinb obviously can't see it.

All he could see was Kennen appearing in the center of their camp with his ultimate ability 0.5 seconds later!

Thunder!

At this moment, the FPX players were like weak supporting characters in those cultivation novels who had to undergo heavenly tribulations. The first wave of lightning had already dealt them a heavy blow!

Chen Dongqing pressed W, and then, with the second round of damage from his ultimate, stunned the other four members of FPX, and their health bars were all below half!

Chen Dongqing used his Q skill on Varus, and then used his E to charge straight at him. With just the damage from that charge, he killed both Varus and Nami!

Kennen with four items deals terrifying damage!

Immediately afterwards, the other four members of QG followed up and killed Lee Sin and Syndra at the same time, easily achieving a team wipe!

"A five-for-zero exchange!" Wawa's voice was filled with excitement. "Tree's entry was absolutely perfect! He wiped out the remaining four members of FPX in one fell swoop!"

"This scene reminds me of those Kennen games that Brother Shu played at the World Championship last year!" Miller's words were tinged with nostalgia, as he recalled his experience traveling all over the United States with QG last year.

"After this wave, FPX's respawn time will exceed forty seconds, and QG will be able to end the game in one fell swoop without any suspense!"

As the commentators spoke, the five QG players moved to the mid lane to push the lane.

Starting from FPX's high ground, the cheers from the audience grew louder with each turret they destroyed!

As Chen Dongqing finally sank his dart into the FPX base, securing 50G, the cheers from the audience reached their peak, and Wawa shouted at the top of his lungs from the commentary booth:

"Alright, let's congratulate QG on winning the first game of this match!"

At the moment the base exploded, Chen Dongqing smiled with satisfaction and stood up from the players' bench.

Although he was countered by the opponent's counter-attack in this game, he didn't feel any pressure and easily resolved the situation.

After all, there is no absolute counter in the game League of Legends.

No matter how much you are restrained, you will have your own period of dominance, even if that period is very short.

In a counter-pick match, the key is to capitalize on your brief period of strength and avoid the opponent's long period of strength.

Even if it's a Malphite vs. Sylas matchup in later generations, Malphite still has the advantage before level three. If Malphite can kill Sylas once at level three, then the lane matchup is still viable.

In this game, Kennen used Malphite's Teleport during his strong period before level 5, and then during his weak period, he gave up the tower to gank the bottom lane with four players, which was a very good execution of this strategy.

Chen Dongqing and his teammates walked arm in arm back to the rest room, where they encountered several members of FPX on the way.

A quick glance to the side reveals that the five FPX players seem to be in relatively good spirits after losing the game, especially Lin Weixiang, who is walking quite briskly.

Chen Dongqing smiled and gave Lin Weixiang a thumbs up.

When Lin Weixiang saw Chen Dongqing's handsome face, he immediately thought of the match they had just played.

He was ganked by Kennen in lane, and then instantly killed by Kennen in team fights.

Losing the game and being humiliated by his opponent completely ruined Lin Weixiang's good mentality, and his face visibly turned frustrated.

This feeling of frustration only started to ease when I returned to the rest room and heard that the coach's first reaction was not to judge me, but to judge their own top laner.

Even though we lost the game, as long as I don't take the blame, I'll be fine.

The FPX coach, looking serious, asked, "Zhang Xingran, what's wrong with you? Your performance this game was absolutely terrible!"

Upon hearing this, Zoom was speechless with frustration.

From God's perspective, his performance was indeed mediocre.

He was forced to use Teleport within four minutes, and when the enemy bot lane ganked 4v2 while he was AFK in the top lane, he even flashed and missed his ultimate in a late-game team fight, feeding kills.

But can we blame him for this?

I've already tried my best!

But at that moment, the image of Kennen winning MVP on the lounge TV screen was particularly dazzling.

Zoom really wanted to say something like Lin Wei-hsiang's "The less capable you are, the less responsibility you have," or "It's not that I'm bad, it's that the other team is strong."

But after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Let's just accept the consequences; there's no other way.

After thinking for a moment, the coach could only helplessly say, "Forget it, let's think about the next game first."

As we all know, QG on the red side is terrifying because they can simultaneously secure a comfortable bot lane duo and a counter pick in the top lane.

How should we play this?

This question remained unanswered even after he took the stage.

In this game, QG banned Janna, giving FPX the chance to pick Varus and Lulu, but then locked in Kalista and Karma, forcing a favorable laning phase.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing on the top lane also pulled out his classic Rumble to attack Maokai, directly roasting him.

This game was clearly another nightmare for Zoom.

He was kept under the tower the whole time and never moved. Xiangguo only ganked the top lane once at the four-minute mark, and the top lane matchup was over.

Immediately afterwards, Rumble used his Teleport advantage to teleport to the bottom lane again, resulting in a four-man gank on the bottom lane.

No one makes the same mistake twice in a row, but FPX really had no choice.

In fact, they had discussed this before the match, and they needed to be wary of QG's top lane teleport gank on the second lane.

But in reality, they were already taking precautions, but unfortunately, they just couldn't prevent it...

With a single sweep, both top and bottom lanes were cleared simultaneously, giving QG a familiar advantage once again.

There's not much to say about the rest of the story. Uzi started leading the team to push towers and engage in small skirmishes, while Chen Dongqing frequently pushed lanes and roamed on the side lanes using Rumble's wave-pushing ability, helping Xiangguo invade jungle resources.

The advantages are getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, at the 31-minute mark, without even needing to take the dragon buff, QG easily won the game with a team fight on the high ground!

Congratulations to QG! They easily defeated FPX 2-0, taking the top spot in the LPL regular season standings!

There have been fewer cases these past few days, but there will be more tomorrow.
