League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 347 More Assists Than Last Hit Strikes?

As the game entered the loading screen, Cuvee glanced at the opposing Ryze and then at his own Jarvan IV. He knew this was going to be a tough battle.

At this moment, the team's senior member, Ambition, spoke up, saying, "Shengzhen, can the top lane seize the opportunity this game?"

Samsung's lineup in this game is very flexible. They have Xayah and Rakan on the bottom and Jarvan IV on the top, so Ambition can go wherever he wants.

Everyone says Samsung is a turtle team, but if you want to be able to turtle, it's not enough for the jungler to farm aggressively and defend the towers on all three lanes. In fact, you still need to find a way to create some tempo in the early game.

"Ah, that's great, Chan-young hyung," Cuvee said. "We both have a lot of crowd control. We can catch him using Flash at level three, and then we can just kill him without thinking at level six!"

"Alright!" Master An nodded, then said to the bottom laner, "Be a little more cautious in the bottom lane. I'll go test the top lane first, and I'll come to the bottom lane once you guys reach level three."

"Hmm!" Now that the game was in progress, Ruler bought Doran's Shield without hesitation and started to play a lane-mixing strategy.

Ruler is actually very confident when playing games and is not afraid of any AD carry from the LCK.

But the only thing that made him somewhat apprehensive was facing Uzbekistan.

Last year at the World Championship, Uzi and Jhin dominated him with Ashe, and Ashe dominated him with Jhin, leaving a very deep impression on him.

In this game, he was playing Xayah against Caitlyn, which was already a disadvantageous matchup, so building a Doran's Shield was quite reasonable.

Seeing that the bottom lane was using these kinds of equipment, Master An felt inexplicably relieved.

He was still confident about their bot lane matchup.

No team in the world has a more stable bot lane than them.

With this in mind, Master An quickly started with the blue buff, then cleared the toads and headed straight for the red buff.

He needs to be as quick as possible this time; after ganking the top lane, he should immediately go to the bottom lane for protection.

As he traveled, Master An switched the camera to the bottom lane to check on his team's opponents.

As you can see, Uzi's Caitlyn learned W at level 1 and used two traps to restrict Ruler's movement at the start of the game, forcing Ruler to stand near the river.

But the next second, a rider riding a Poro suddenly burst out of the grass in the river!

Poro flashed with golden light and used a Q-Flash combo to knock Ruler's Xayah off her feet!

And almost at the same moment Sejuani bumped into someone, a bear trap was simultaneously placed at Xayah's feet!

The moment the control ended, the clamp took effect, and Xia was caught again!

Master An's heart skipped a beat; he sensed that something was going to happen in the bottom lane!

Ruler reacted quickly, and luckily he had Cleanse on him. He used Cleanse to instantly break free of the trap, and then immediately used Flash to create distance, hoping to save his life with this double summon.

But this is obviously impossible.

The instant he flashed away, Shi Senming's Lulu also decisively flashed after him, using her Q skill to slow him down.

Meanwhile, Xiangguo was also wielding his pig whip, continuously applying slow effects to Xia!

The ruler saw that the defensive tower was almost within reach, but his feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he just couldn't take a step!

CoreJJ watched this scene unfold, but could only watch helplessly. He tried to use his W to lift the female police officer and help his AD carry escape.

But Uzi reacted quickly, instantly flashing forward to dodge Rakan's W after a headshot to Xayah, and then chasing after her relentlessly!

Seeing that the policewoman had used her Flash, Ruler knew that he was probably doomed this time.

He had no room to maneuver.

Finally, Uzi fired a shot and then swiftly brought down his blade, securing the first kill!

At that moment, the cheers of the home crowd exploded, so loud that they were clearly heard by both players through the noise-canceling headphones!

This call was a stimulant to QG, but to SSG it was nothing short of a death sentence!

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Emperor Chi's forehead. He frantically shouted into the voice chat, "What the hell? Why did they only drop two levels?!"

Seeing that Sejuani didn't linger after catching someone and immediately turned around and disappeared into the river, Ruler was furious. Why didn't you play by the rules?

Although the respawn rate after dying at the start is very fast, Ruler will still inevitably lose a wave of minions.

Plus getting the female police officer's first blood

Ruler felt like he had gone too far in the bot lane again this game.

Meanwhile, in the EDG backstage lounge.

Seeing the scene before them, everyone couldn't help but stand up and applaud loudly!

"Xiangguo is a real thief!" the factory manager couldn't help but laugh. "He stole the move I used in practice today!"

This was indeed a tactic used by Clearlove in a practice match. He was also using Sejuani at the time, and after taking the red buff, he immediately went for the bottom lane. Uzi almost caught him and brought him to red buff.

As it turns out, QG's stealth tactics are top-notch, and they used them against SSG today, with great success!

At this moment, the camera focused on Xiangguo after he caught someone, and everyone saw that Sejuani quickly disappeared into the bushes after catching someone, but he did not go to farm jungle camps, but instead chose to recall directly!

After returning to the city, Piggy used the only three hundred yuan she had to buy a pair of straw sandals and then set off on her journey!

Seeing this, the factory manager sensed something and immediately stood up. "No way?"

Everyone in EDG turned their heads, wondering what Clearlove had noticed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the SSG players' area...

Master An, who was currently attacking the red buff, looked at the situation in the bottom lane and felt somewhat helpless.

He knew that he couldn't blame anyone for this; at most, he could only blame the opposing team for playing too cunningly.

Since that's the case, he'd better hurry up.

Even if the top laner doesn't get a kill, they absolutely have to use Flash!

After defeating the red enemy, Master An's excavator leveled up to level three and headed straight for the top road!

At this point, Chen Dongqing's Ryze had gained a slight advantage in the top lane.

Ryze still has the advantage of long range against short range, and Chen Dongqing also learned W at level one, so he can go in and use AWA to harass without thinking, making it impossible for Jarvan IV to lane against him.

Using the snowball effect from level one, a wave of minions was created, and the minion wave was naturally advancing forward.

Upon seeing this, Master An immediately asked, "Did he create eyes in the riverbed?"

"Not yet!" Cuvee tapped the river bush and said, "He's having a hard time laning, he hasn't had time to ward yet."

"OK." Master An nodded. Seeing that Ryze actually dared to push up against the Prince, he immediately shouted in the voice chat and then charged straight across the river!

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing, who had just been interacting with the prince, also noticed something amiss.

To be honest, when he went up to attack the prince, he was actually prepared to be hit by the prince's Q.

If the prince uses his ultimate on him, he can easily counterattack, and he'll always come out ahead in terms of trading blows.

But this prince neither questioned him nor reciprocated, and he just let him get away with it for nothing?

The jungler is here.

Chen Dongqing's lips curled up slightly, then he turned and ran!

Seeing Ryze slip away so quickly, Master An was also at a loss.

Such good awareness?

They had no choice but to arrest him!

Cuvee maintained a suitable distance from Ryze, waiting for his jungler to arrive.

But Ryze's sudden escape clearly ruined their plans.

With no other option, Cuvee had to force an EQ combo to try and keep Ryze in place.

Prince's close-range EQ combo is genuine. Without boots for speed boost, it's hard to dodge with just reaction time, so Chen Dongqing didn't hesitate and decisively flashed away.

Cuvee immediately pressed W, giving Ryze a slight slow.

But Chen Dong wasn't flustered. He turned around and gave the prince an AE, continuing to pull him towards the bushes!

From the direction of the river, an excavator indeed drilled out and rushed out, standing on Ryze's flank, slowly flanking him!

After weighing the situation, Sect Leader An immediately understood and said, "I'll use Flash Top; we can kill them directly!"

As he spoke, Sect Leader An charged forward at breakneck speed.

But for some reason, Master An vaguely felt that the shouts around him were gradually getting louder.

What are you cheering for?

There was no time to think about it. Master An had already reached the right distance. Without hesitation, he flashed and used his W to knock Ryze into the air. Then Rek'Sai started spinning wildly, leaving claw marks on the blue-skinned man!

All that's left is for the prince to deal damage, and this Ryze will be in dire straits!

Cuvee was also quite decisive, flashing up and thrusting out with his halberd!

But at that very moment, something unexpected happened!

Master An never expected that Sejuani, who had just finished ganking in the bottom lane at level two, would suddenly appear from the top lane bush and knock Jarvan IV senseless with her headbutt!

The cheers from the sidelines reached their peak at this moment, with countless home fans extremely excited, applauding Xiangguo's unstoppable counter-gank!

In the commentary booth, Wawa exclaimed, "They really countered the gank! Xiangguo's rhythm was absolutely perfect!"

In the scene, Sejuani, who was only level 2 at the time, knocked the prince unconscious with her headbutt. She immediately swung her pig whip and, relying on Sejuani's high stats in the early game, quickly reduced the prince's health!

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, had lightning-fast hand speed. Because he had previously applied E to the prince, he immediately used AQWQA to trigger Wind Rider and quickly create distance!

The prince's EQ hasn't finished yet, and the excavator's top has already been used up. Although he is currently low on health, he is actually very safe!

Chen Dongqing tried to stay as far away from the excavator as possible, and then chased after the prince and attacked again.

The prince wasn't at full health to begin with, and when he was laning against Ryze until he was low on health, the prince only had 60% health at the start.

Now the prince is being attacked by two people, and his health has dropped even further, leaving him with very low health!

Cuvee glanced at the Sejuani on his face, then at the Ryze who was still attacking him. He had no choice but to turn around and crawl into another bush, hoping to avoid it using the bush's vision!

Of course, he obviously couldn't escape.

The wards that Chen Dongqing hadn't placed came in handy at this moment. A fake ward was instantly placed, illuminating the vision inside the bush. Ryze then used his EQ combo to take down the Prince!

The next enemy was a fully healed excavator, so the two of them ignored it, casually chased it down and hit it a couple of times to push it back before pushing the lane into the tower together.

Master An stood under the top lane tower, watching as the level two Sejuani finally reached level three after pushing the lane.

He tapped the tab and glanced at the game panel.

Sejuani's record is quite dazzling.

0-0-2, last hit 1.

He gets more assists than last hits.

After clearing the red buff, this Sejuani didn't farm the jungle anymore. She ganked the bot lane first, then recalled to base to buy boots and ganked top!

But the most amazing thing is that he succeeded in both of those plays, creating kills for the team!

The quality of this gank is simply outrageous!

"Wow, that's impressive." Chen Dongqing couldn't help but exclaim, "Your counter-gank was well-thought-out! You're really fearless!"

Even Chen Dongqing was shocked by this way of using hot pot.

After ganking bot lane, you immediately counter-gank top lane. Are you really that sure the enemy will gank top?

What if the enemy doesn't gank top lane and instead invades your jungle to steal it? Wouldn't that mean you'd lose the entire jungle?

At this moment, Xiangguo's face exuded confidence. He grinned and said, "When have I ever been afraid of Gouba? If he enters my jungle, I'll just farm to level three in the top lane and then gank mid. Anyway, I have experience to catch up."

"Alright, go farm the jungle." Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "If you don't farm the jungle soon, you'll really run into trouble."

Where can you find a jungler who can get one kill every three minutes?

Xiangguo was quite sensible. He escorted Chen Dongqing back to the city, then went into the jungle and farmed his way down!

He first cleared out the Gromp and the three wolves, and while he was taking the blue buff, Chen Dongqing's Ryze happened to walk by on the lane.

Xiangguo raised an eyebrow and simply shouted, "Chen Dongqing, eat blue!"

"?" Chen Dongqing hesitated. "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's the difference between good and bad? I don't really need the blue one, so I might as well give it to you." Xiangguo said this frankly.

Junglers have been buffed in the recent patch. Now, heroes with jungle items will receive a mana regeneration bonus in the jungle, so they basically don't lack mana.

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment, then decided to act decisively, walking over and using his Q to take down the low-health blue buff.

Another cheer erupted from the audience!

See that? That's the world's best jungler!

When it comes to protecting the top laner, Xiangguo is absolutely top-notch!

On the other side, Cuvee was quite shocked to see Ryze come online with a blue buff, and pinged several question marks in a row.

How the hell am I supposed to lane against this?

Although the prince counters Ryze, there's really no way to win against a Ryze with blue buff, right?

He saw that Ryze placed a control ward in the river after coming online, and then immediately started pushing the lane!

With the blue buff in hand, Ryze only needs to spam EQ to push the minion wave to the tower in a few hits!

After entering the tower, Ryze took advantage of the opportunity when Jarvan IV was last-hitting minions, and stood outside the tower to spam skills to harass, leaving Cuvee with absolutely no way to deal with it!

After two rounds, Cuvee was already reduced to low health.

Ryze, however, still had full mana.

Cuvee dared not force a last-hit under the tower; he could only recall to base to replenish his health and mana, letting the wave of minions be killed by the tower.

But Cuvee was in a good mood at the time.

Because he's about to take the CET-6 exam.

This Ryze didn't have Flash, and after reaching level 6, he used his ultimate to clear the jungle. This Ryze is doomed!

You can't keep up this act for long!

As soon as the game started, Cuvee switched the camera to the bottom lane, where Ambition launched another attack on the bottom lane!

This time, Master An has set his sights on the female police officer who doesn't have Flash. As long as Rakan lands his ultimate, the kill is his!

But just as Luo W lifted him over, Uzi happened to be hit by Lulu's speed boost. He reacted quickly, making a sideways movement and narrowly dodging the attack by just missing her back!

CoreJJ and Master An stood there dumbfounded.

You can even twist that?

Without saying a word, Master An turned around and left, continuing to farm the jungle.

Meanwhile, Xiangguo's Sejuani appeared in the mid lane and launched a new round of ganks.

Galio charges up with E+W, and Sejuani appears simultaneously beside him.

SSG's mid laner Crown saw this and decisively used Flash to return to his tower position.

It's hard to kill once inside the tower, so Godway doesn't follow with Flash and turns away instead.

A flash of light is enough.

Xiangguo said, "Push the lane, that Karma is doomed!"

OK.

On the other side, the SSG voice channel.

While farming the F6 camp, Ambition was also communicating with his teammates: "Top lane, when are we level six?"

"Still need half the experience."

"Okay, I'm coming."

On one side is Kalma.

On one side is Ryze.

Both teams have already set their sights on their first wave of targets after reaching level six.

Sorry, I've been a bit busy these past few days, and watching the finals today made me miss some time.

I posted it as soon as I finished typing it, please forgive any typos.

P.S.: I didn't quite understand the rhythm of the first two games of the final. How come the one side that had the advantage suddenly lost? Was it some kind of tit-for-tat exchange?
