League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 332 We've lost so much money!

Xiangguo helped Chen Dongqing push the lane into the tower, then quickly returned to base and started farming from the three wolves, heading towards the bottom half of the map.

While cooking, Xiangguo sighed, "This advantage is too easy to come by, isn't it?"

Chen Dongqing grinned: "That's called strategy! Don't you understand the importance of using your brain?"

The crocodile was furious and gave the wrong information when he went online. Then, without anyone noticing, the spider went directly to the top lane. This was a small opening strategy that their team had practiced beforehand.

This is not something done on a whim, but rather part of a fixed system.

But in reality, they rarely use this kind of maneuver in scrims. They usually just give the wrong information, and then Spider will launch a level 3 gank on the top lane to catch the enemy off guard.

They've never experienced a situation like today, where a level 1 player takes down one enemy, and then a level 3 player counter-ganks and kills two more.

All I can say is that EDG really gave them a lot of face.

Of course, even though the top lane has gained a huge advantage, the bottom half of the map still needs to be fought.

Xiangguo swarmed down to the bottom lane, took a look, and finding no opportunity, he simply ran to the river to clear the river crab, and then went to the mid lane to chip away at Scout's health.

He played with a very tight rhythm this time.

On the other side, the factory manager refused to believe it and came to the top lane after clearing the jungle. But this time, Chen Dongqing had no one behind him, so he didn't show off and obediently squatted under the tower. The factory manager couldn't do anything to him at all!

The factory manager couldn't help but curse inwardly when he saw this.

Damn it, I knew it! This guy has such good awareness, how come he didn't defend against the jungler at the three-minute mark?

We've been tricked!

Once this huge disadvantage is established, it's not easy to turn it around.

The factory manager sighed slightly. He could only return to the city to replenish his supplies, and then headed towards the lower half of the map, intending to continue farming jungle monsters to replenish his health and mana.

But when he returned to the Swamp Frog camp, he saw a spider coiled there, and a Q Smite took down the Swamp Frog.

The monsters are gone again!

Grass!

Forced to go on a hunger strike, the factory manager pondered for a long time before finally deciding to coordinate with the mid laner.

With the top laner losing and the bottom lane constantly being pressured, the only advantageous lane he can rely on is the mid lane.

After a long discussion between the factory manager and the junior student, they finally decided to go and catch a wave of top laners.

Scout finished pushing the lane, and then headed straight for the top lane with the factory manager!

The two launched a fierce attack, seizing the opportunity when Chen Dongqing had just finished pushing the lane and was preparing to retreat back to the city, and directly forced his way up!

Actually, Chen Dongqing's awareness was very good. He realized that he was going to be caught, but he didn't think he would die. So after he forced the minion wave forward, he immediately used both of his E skills to retreat!

At this point, the factory manager had only just reached the Dalongkeng area, giving him ample time to retreat. Logically speaking, it was impossible to catch him.

However, EDG's determination to kill was already set in stone.

The prince carried the military flag and walked very fast. Then he used Flash and EQ combo to forcefully knock Chen Dongqing up in front of the tower!

Ah Guang had been hanging behind, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Big Bug stomped on the ground and sent Chen Dongqing flying again!

Even so, it would be very difficult for Chen Dongqing to die.

After all, he built Black Cleaver first this game, and currently has a small wooden hammer, so he's quite tanky.

He was only one step away from the tower, and within that distance, neither the prince nor the giant insect, which was still some distance away, could kill him.

Unfortunately, EDG really wanted to kill Chen Dongqing.

Scout's Lucian followed up, using E and Flash to force Chen Dongqing into attack range, then using a combination of DPS, W, and Q to kill Chen Dongqing under the tower.

"EDGScout killed QGilex"

Seeing this banner appear on the game interface, Chen Dongqing was so angry he laughed.

Was it really necessary to use two Flashes just to get a kill on someone who wasn't even a Final Shot?

Besides, you don't make any money either!

Watching this scene, commentator Wawa couldn't help but remark, "EDG paid a huge price for this kill, didn't they? It seems like Tree (Shu Ge) really got a good deal this time!"

Although Wawa does like to awkwardly insist that his team isn't losing when they're at a disadvantage, he really wasn't being awkward this time.

After all, Chen Dongqing died because the minion wave pushed the tower. Although he died, he didn't lose any minions. He could even go back to lane and farm under the tower.

On the contrary, Ah Guang was killed by the turret in one wave of tower attacks while trying to catch up and kill people!

After splitting the gold from both sides, EDG only gained a kill and an assist at most in this wave. The two Flash units they paid out were a complete loss!

And to take it a step further, QG's counterattack hasn't even been factored in yet!

Gao Dewei picked Galio, clearly aiming for a four-man gank on the bottom lane with Xiangguo, a long-standing tradition of QG.

Although Gao Dewei's ability to control the tempo is not as good as his predecessor Doinb, and he cannot take the initiative to lead the tempo, he still has no problem keeping up with the tempo.

The two blocked the minion wave from behind the tower, and the EDG bot lane duo could only watch as Caitlyn and Karma quickly pushed the wave forward!

Immediately afterwards, Galio began charging up his W, then Spider used a basic attack to tank the tower, and Galio used his taunt to strike!

Faced with this inevitable defeat, EDG's bot lane didn't even want to use Flash; they just obediently waited to die.

After taunting her, Uzi followed up with a trap, a Q followed by a headshot, easily taking down Ashe!

Immediately afterwards, the spider spun a cocoon on Lulu, and Uzi used another trap to snag her again, then headshot her with a shot followed by his E, and another headshot, easily securing a double kill!

"A perfect four-man gank on the bot lane, leaving EDG's bot lane duo with absolutely no room to maneuver!"

Miller watched the screen, this time less excited, and simply frowned, saying, "EDG was too reckless this time! After that trade, they lost the first turret and the dragon!"

Logically speaking, it's reasonable to have one side attack the top and the other the bottom. In professional matches, each side often plays in their own half of the map, and the competition is about early-game offensive capabilities and the carry potential of their respective main carries.

But if you want to play like this, you definitely have to consider the consequences.

In a team like EDG, the top laner might waste two flashes to get a meager kill, while their bot lane teammate gets tower-dived, loses a lot of minions, and then loses the first tower and a dragon.

That's an absolute rip-off!

Seeing the situation in the bottom lane, the factory manager asked somewhat dejectedly, "Wait, if we gank top, your bottom lane should retreat, so why aren't you retreating?"

In the bottom lane, Meiko rolled her eyes: "I wanted to retreat, but how could I? They came straight from the second tower, there's no way I can escape."

Mingkai looked somewhat helpless, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Sigh."

it is more than words.

After such a disastrous start, even managing to secure a single kill, the result is still a huge loss.

Although the factory manager couldn't see the economic panel from God's perspective, he could vaguely calculate that the current economic difference between the two teams was probably already over 2000.

But it hasn't even been six minutes!

Moreover, even if the top laner helps with this wave, the disadvantage in the top lane is still huge, and this little bit of help obviously cannot help A Guang defeat Ilex.

And that's exactly what Chen Dongqing thought too.

After respawning, he quickly bought shoes and headed to the top lane. During this time, he switched screens to watch his teammates take down a Fire Dragon.

With the percentage attack power bonus from the Fire Dragon, Chen Dongqing felt increasingly confident.

He firmly believed that this giant worm could not possibly be his match.

Once I finish building Black Cleaver, you'd better just wait and die!

Chen Dongqing's current strategy is to patiently develop his character and try to avoid being relentlessly ganked by the opposing team in the top lane again.

It's almost been six minutes now, and the prince and the giant bug are almost level six. We really need to be careful.

Fortunately, Chen Dongqing is indeed rich enough. With two kills in hand and no shortage of last-hitting minions, his Black Cleaver won't be too far away.

Very quickly, just over nine minutes later, Chen Dongqing's crocodile cleared the lane and returned to base.

When he reappeared, the small wooden hammer in his hand had transformed into a black cutter.

With this equipment, the giant bug is no different from paper in front of the crocodile!

Just then, Chen Dongqing saw on the minimap that the factory manager's Prince appeared in the mid lane and launched a gank against Gao Dewei.

The prince executed a triple EQR combo, forcing Gordway to use Flash.

This is currently EDG's strong period for mid and jungle, so QG should avoid direct confrontation for now.

If a fight breaks out in the mid lane, then the top lane will obviously have an opportunity.

Ah Guang followed Chen Dongqing back to base, so when Chen Dongqing logged back in, the top lane was completely empty.

Chen Dongqing knew that when he pushed the lane into the tower, the big bug should be coming online around the same time.

Chen Dongqing had a clear idea of ​​what was going on and immediately figured out his strategy.

He immediately used his White Fury Q to push the lane and quickly built up his Fury.

Meanwhile, he also communicated in voice chat: "Xiangguo, can you draw the enemy jungler's attention? I'm going to get a solo kill in the top lane."

"OK! No problem!" Upon hearing this, Xiangguo, who was farming the F6 camp, immediately abandoned the jungle monsters he was farming and headed straight for the mid lane!

The Spider, in conjunction with Galio who had maintained a decent amount of health, launched a surprise attack on Lucian in the mid lane.

Although it was unlikely to result in a kill, it still took away a significant amount of the junior's health.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangguo started helping Gao Dewei push the lane, the meaning couldn't be clearer!

"Hey, it seems like they're trying to tower dive in the mid lane!" Wawa raised her voice.

Reed glanced at the minimap and immediately shook his head: "It's impossible to tower dive. The prince just left from the mid lane and will be back to support soon. At most, this wave will help Galio recall to base and replenish his health."

And that's exactly what happened.

Seeing that there was a situation in the mid lane, Clearlove's Prince immediately rushed back and forcibly protected Scout, allowing him to take a tower dive.

When Xiangguo saw that the prince had indeed returned to the mid lane, he smiled with satisfaction.

mission completed!

At this moment, the live stream camera suddenly switched to the top lane!

Then I saw the Angry Crocodile pushing the minion wave into the tower.

Meanwhile, Ah Guang's giant bug also came online.

As you can see, A Guang's build this game is quite conservative. With Cloth Boots and Glacial Armor, he's clearly aiming for a tanky build. He'll consider it a success if he can safely stack up his ultimate.

With these two armor items and at full health, A-Guang believed he was definitely qualified to last-hit minions under the tower.

But Chen Dongqing then said: No, you don't.

This crocodile seemed to ignore the two armor pieces on the giant bug's body, and started with a basic attack followed by a red-rage W!

The crocodile struck four times in a row, but only managed to reduce the giant worm's health by a total of 300 points, which was only a quarter of its original health. From this scene, it seemed that the crocodile couldn't damage this heavily armored giant worm at all!

But Chen Dongqing remained completely calm.

Although these four strikes didn't deal much damage, they helped Chen Dongqing stack eight layers of War Fever and four layers of Black Cleaver Armor Penetration, which was crucial!

After Chen Dongqing bites out W, he unleashes his final basic attack, then quickly presses E!

At this moment, Ah Guang woke up from his dizziness. As soon as the big bug woke up, it began to release the skill commands it had entered when it was dizzy. The big bug threw a W at the position where the crocodile had been, but the crocodile had just moved and directly avoided the silence!

The AE hit, and the crocodile's rage quickly rose to 65 points, and his Fervor and Black Cleaver stacks were also maxed out!

Chen Dongqing activated his ultimate skill, gaining another 20 points of rage. At this point, the crocodile's rage had reached 85!

Chen Dongqing followed up with a basic attack, then immediately used his Red Rage E to dive into the giant bug!

At level 8 with two levels of E, Red Fury can remove 27.5% of armor.

With a full stack of Black Cleaver armor penetration, Cho'Gath starts with 110 armor, but now only has 56 left.

The armor bonus from cloth boots and glacier armor immediately vanished without a trace.

Nowadays, even the biggest bugs are no match for crocodiles, as if they have no equipment.

Chen Dongqing unleashed another basic attack on the giant bug!

At this point, you can see a red circle appearing under the crocodile's feet, which is the indicator of Cho'Gath's Q skill effect.

After casting Q, A-Guang immediately used Flash to retreat!

But Chen Dongqing reacted quickly and immediately followed up, AQ made his move!

【Tyrant's Frenzy】!

This combo can be described as a culmination of all the skills the crocodile has mastered in his life. With the double armor penetration of Black Cleaver and Straight Charge, plus a full stack of Fervor, this AQ combo wipes out the bug's remaining 300 health points as if they didn't exist!

After killing the person, Chen Dongqing glanced at his health bar, then walked out of the tower with ease, without any pressure.

The news of another solo kill in the top lane resounded throughout the venue, and countless viewers seemed to go completely crazy, offering enthusiastic cheers.

The hearts of the EDG players sank once again.

There's no hope. Just wait to die.

If the top laner gets tower-dived even at full health, what's the point of playing?

On the other side, when Xiangguo saw this scene, he shouted "Awesome!" in the voice chat. Then Spider quickly ran to the top lane to protect his top laner.

Chen Dongqing took advantage of the situation to clear the minion wave with another red-rage Q, and then joined forces with Xiangguo to push down the top lane tower, officially declaring the top lane victory.

At this point, Uzi also switched to the mid lane.

The fattest female police officer and the crocodile are both in the top half of the map, so the ten-minute vanguard is naturally easy to capture.

With the help of the vanguard, they pushed down the first tower in the middle lane, and with that, all three of EDG's outer towers fell, allowing Uzi to enter a period of rapid development.

From this point on, the game had little to do with the top laner, Renekton.

Uzi officially took over the reins of the game and led his team to start demolishing towers.

Although EDG was constantly launching counterattacks, Uzi remained calm and composed, with Caitlyn strolling around and leading her teammates to victory in one small team fight after another.

In these small skirmishes centered around him, he didn't die even once, and his kills and assists kept increasing!

Chen Dongqing transformed into a lane-pushing maniac, riding on the head of the giant bug and unleashing a flurry of punches on the side lane. He would also fight for the dragon whenever possible, protecting the AD carry. Relying on the team's advantage, QG's lead naturally continued to expand.

Meanwhile, Ah Guang's big bug was also enduring humiliation and hardship. He first pushed the lane and slowly finished off the six-stack minion ultimate. Then, he risked his life to kill Xiang Guo in the dragon team fight and finally got seven stacks of ultimate.

The time has reached 26 minutes.

With its seven-stack ultimate and the tankiness boost from the cheap items Righteous Glory and Warmog's Armor, Cho'Gath has now become a decent front-line tank!

This is the true value of Cho'Gath, a top-tier champion in this patch. Even with a K/D ratio of 1-3-2 and a CS deficit of 30-40 from Renekton, he can become a reliable front-line tank once his ultimate stacks up!

But it still didn't work.

Because by the time he made those two items, Renekton had already made Blade of the Ruined King.

Even after completing these two items, the crocodile starts building tank items, but he can still easily defeat a Cho'Gath!

After confirming that the factory manager was not nearby, Chen Dongqing decisively used his second E skill to get right up to him, then used his ultimate skill to increase his rage, followed by an A skill and a red-rage W skill to bite him hard!

Four consecutive strikes triggered the Ruined King effect four times in a row. This single strike took away nearly half of the giant worm's health!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing took a breath of the Broken Blade and chased after it relentlessly, attacking all the way. Finally, he used a red-rage Q to bite it, killing the big bug without any explanation.

After securing a kill in the bottom lane, the fully healed Renekton continued pushing the lane and began attacking the bottom lane's second tower.

With no other option, EDG had to send Scout to defend.

But as soon as Scout showed up in the bottom lane, Chen Dongqing decisively used a TP to target the Baron pit in the top half of the map!

Because QG had too much crowd control in this game, Scout chose to bring Cleanse.

This resulted in him lacking TP support capabilities.

Now that A-Guang has been eliminated and Scout has been pulled to the bottom lane, EDG is in a 3v5 situation and is clearly not qualified to compete for the Baron!

Xiangguo's Q-punch combo secured the Baron buff.

"Alright, Baron Nashor secured!" Miller shouted. "The gold difference between the two sides has now officially reached 8,000! QG is just one push away from winning the first game!"

All that's left is to push forward; there's not much else to write about. That would be the end of this match.

The pace will pick up slightly from here; this best-of-five series won't last too long.
