League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 442 Two levels down and back home, are you a professional mid laner?

In the middle lane, Chen Dongqing, holding a high-tech cannon, was looking down at the blue-skinned Ryze not far away.

Under pressure from Jayce, BDD was extremely cautious in last-hitting minions, managing to barely manage to last-hit a melee minion with a Q, indicating immense pressure.

Seeing this, even Colonel Guan couldn't help but joke, "I wonder how well Brother Shu will perform in the mid lane this time, since the gap between the mid lane and the top lane is quite large."

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Remember said with a smile, "Brother Shu's individual ability is undeniable. At least in the laning phase, he should be able to play with ease. As for setting the pace, we'll see later."

Doinb listened to the words he remembered, lost in thought.

He also remembered that the mid-jungle-support synergy system that QG relied on to win the championship back then seemed to have been proposed by Chen Dongqing.

Would someone like this have poor rhythm skills?

In the scene, the second wave of minions just arrived. Chen Dongqing raised his hand to last-hit the first melee minion of the second wave. The moment he reached level two, Chen Dongqing's hand speed exploded. After using his Q skill, he immediately used CTRL+E+E to release the acceleration gate and fired a vertical cannon!

The acceleration cannon appeared almost simultaneously with the upgraded dazzling effect, catching BDD completely off guard!

Boom!

With the 369 Jayce skin, this Blacklight Cannon shot hit BDD's face directly!

In that instant, Chen Dongqing decisively switched to hammer mode, stepped on the accelerator, and charged straight forward!

That's the advantage of playing Jayce in the mid lane. Generally speaking, mages have short legs and are easily caught in close combat, and they don't have much ability to fight back!

Although BDD retreated very quickly, he even ran under the tower before Jayce could catch up.

But Chen Dongqing was not intimidated at all. He used [Sky Leap] to smash into the tower, and then followed up with an E+A combo!

As Ryze was being pushed back, Jayce landed a powerful basic attack with his passive, successfully triggering Phase Rush.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing stepped on the green smoke, turned around and pulled away, only being hit once by the defensive tower.

This is the true value of Jayce in the mid lane; even trading blows under the tower is a win for him!

Upon seeing this scene, all the audience members gasped in shock.

This is an exaggeration.

As expected of someone who reached the pinnacle in the dog-eat-dog world of top lane, his laning prowess is so strong that placing him in the mid lane would be like a game-changer!

In recent years, the mid lane has been influenced by QG, ​​and almost all of them have become rhythm-controlling players, only playing the minion wave and pushing the lane. Their laning spirit has been greatly diminished.

Now that Chen Dongqing has come to the mid lane, it has reminded BDD of the bloody battle between mid lane assassins two or three years ago.

Unfortunately, the bloody smell he detected came from his own wounds.

After this combo, BDD's health dropped to less than half in an instant, and he had already drunk a potion. Now he only had one potion left, which was obviously not enough for him to continue laning.

BDD was utterly exhausted; he could only stand far behind, waiting for the minions to come over.

The advantage of the mid lane is that the lane is short, and the minion wave pushes over quickly. BDD, standing at the edge of the turret, gained some space to last-hit minions.

There is space, but not much.

Jayce is a notoriously deadly champion, and Chen Dongqing's control over health depletion is unparalleled. Although BDD was farming under the tower, he was clearly not safe.

Whenever he gets the chance, Chen Dongqing will go straight up and steal points, depleting BDD's health.

BDD had already finished his second bottle of medicine, but his health bar was still below half.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing seized the opportunity and fired a speed-enhancing shot at a minion. Through the AOE effect after hitting the minion, he managed to hit Ryze next to him, reducing his health bar by another 10%.

BDD felt a chill in his heart.

What should we do?!

He only has a little over 300 HP left, and he's already within Jayce's kill range!

BDD gritted his teeth and had no choice but to retreat, then returned to the city on the spot.

Many viewers were quite surprised to see this.

They hadn't even reached level three yet, and they were already sent home. This was something no one expected.

Are you really a professional mid laner? How come you can get forced to use TP at level two?

And most importantly, BDD still opted for the safest start with Doran's Ring and two Health Potions!

For Ryze, whether he can build Tear of the Goddess during his first recall is crucial.

If you can combine them, it's a winning situation. Once Teleport is available, you can push lanes freely with the mana boost from Tear of the Goddess.

If you can't combine them, you can only buy something like a blue crystal, which is a bit of a disadvantage and will affect the overall pace of the game.

But BDD couldn't even afford a blue crystal this time. He looked around the shop for a long time and could only buy a 150-cost reusable potion before teleporting back online.

Compared to having a Doran's Ring and two health potions when you leave the house, this Doran's Ring plus a potion is practically a step backward.

This is a disaster from the start!

Chen Dongqing looked at the TP glow swirling around the enemy's first tower and smiled.

BDD was easier to bully than he had imagined.

While Ryze was recalling to base to replenish his supplies, Chen Dongqing quickly pushed the third wave of minions into the tower.

Taking advantage of Ryze's lack of combat power and the opportunity of him being sealed under the tower by the siege minion, Chen Dongqing switched to Hammer and accelerated, directly diving into the jungle.

At this moment, the camera cuts to the bottom jungle area, and we see that after Xiangguo's Gragas finished clearing the jungle in the upper half, he didn't seem to be heading towards the lower half. Instead, he went straight into KZ's upper half.

At this moment, Xiangguo had already rushed to KZ's red buff camp and ran right into the Excavator who was fighting the red buff.

Without any hesitation, Xiangguo filled the wine barrel with wine and smashed it on the excavator's head with a WQ!

Cuzz was watching with growing anxiety. He knew that the red buff was definitely no longer relevant to him.

Because the enemy Jayce has already come to support!

With no other option, Cuzz had to turn around and retreat, giving up the buff.

But Xiangguo's target didn't seem to be the red buff. He saw the excavator turn around and retreat, so he immediately detonated his Q skill to slow it down and then chased after it!

Cuzz glanced at the barrels of wine behind him and frowned slightly.

You don't want to kill me, do you?

However, the cooldown period for drilling holes with an excavator is very long, and having already drilled holes, he now has no other means of operation.

He could only burrow underground first, then use a right-click to launch the barrel into the air, and then quickly click on the hole he had already drilled. The excavator flew over the thick wall and directly reached the F6 camp, putting a great distance between itself and the barrel.

But just then, a Jayce stepped into QG's F6 camp and saw the excavator drilling through the tunnel.

There was still a short distance between the two sides, so Chen Dongqing switched to his cannon and fired a blast that hit the excavator right in the face!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing stepped on the acceleration gate and charged forward. In cannon mode, he used A followed by W to chase the excavator and fired repeatedly, triggering the phase emulation!

The next moment, a big fat man emerged from behind the thick wall, his belly smashed into by the excavator, leaving him completely disoriented!

Cuzz was completely dumbfounded. He could only turn around and teleport back to the red buff camp, still thinking about escaping!

In that instant, Chen Dongqing said, "I'm outta here!"

Chen Dongqing didn't want to kill the first blood; he had his own considerations.

First, the damage from the barrels has already been used up, and even if you flash in, the damage won't be enough.

Secondly, the Blink ability of the barrel is very important; it cannot be used to pick up kills.

Chen Dongqing then teleported over the wall and saw that the excavator hadn't gone far.

Jayce uses his hammer to accelerate, unleashing a Sky Leap, followed by an auto-attack and an E, securing the kill on the low-health Rek'Sai!

"First blood!"

Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, Chen Dongqing, who switched lanes to the mid lane, successfully secured the first blood!

At the same time, Xiangguo's Gragas finally wobbled over and landed a Q on the Red Buff.

The red buff hasn't been pulled out of combat yet; it still has a few hundred health points.

Xiangguo came over and helped apply the Smite, and Chen Dongqing didn't hesitate to take the buff as well.

One first blood and one buff, so it wasn't a complete waste of his flash.

Chen Dongqing hummed a little tune as he returned to the mid lane, where he ran into Ryze, who had pushed the minion wave out.

BDD watched as Jayce returned with the red buff after securing first blood, and inwardly groaned.

Damn it, couldn't you have used your flashbang earlier?

Of course, he dared not say these words aloud.

Ultimately, the jungler's death was due to the mid laner collapsing too quickly.

If he had just held on a little more, Jayce wouldn't have been able to roam around so recklessly.

But there was nothing he could do!

Watching the enemy Jayce relentlessly attack him while standing on the red buff, BDD felt a deep sadness welling up inside him.

He now has absolutely no idea how to play the game.

The one-sided domination in the mid lane continued for the remainder of the game.

For the past few minutes, BDD has been standing under the tower and has never come out.

During this period, Cuzz took the opportunity to gank the mid lane.

However, it's a disadvantage for the excavator to grab Jess.

As the excavator drilled through the hole, Chen Dongqing didn't need to do anything. He just needed to cut the hammer and then use the E key to move onto the excavator.

Although he will be launched into the air by the excavator, he will also smash the excavator away, making it unable to follow up with further damage!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing would use QW to hammer the excavator, which would trigger the phase and allow him to escape!

Of course, this attack on the middle lane was not without significance.

Because Jayce's health was low, he had to return to base to replenish his strength, and BDD finally got a chance to return to base to replenish his supplies.

If BDD were to rely solely on himself, he wouldn't have the right to return to town.

But this is not without its costs.

Xiangguo's Gragas came to the bottom lane, used E-flash to stun Kai'Sa, and with Caitlyn's trap and Janna's Q, successfully completed a gank in the bottom lane.

The cost of the mid laner recalling to base is that the bot lane AD carries lose a life.

That's how cruel it is.

Moreover, after Jayce was released, he had already built Serrated Dagger and Longsword, which was still a significant advantage over Ryze who had barely managed to build Tear of the Goddess.

At this moment, Doinb finally spoke up, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, then we should be going to have a four-man gank on the two sides next."

Jayce in the mid lane isn't the only one with absolute lane control; Caitlyn and Janna in the bot lane also have it.

Next, as long as the tactics are executed properly, KZ's bot lane duo will be walking 600 gold!

Sure enough, the pace started very quickly.

In six minutes, Chen Dongqing pushed the minion wave in the mid lane and then quickly headed to the bottom lane!

At this moment, the minion wave in the bottom lane is in a very sensitive position, about to enter the tower but not yet.

When the KZ duo, who were last-hitting minions in front of the tower, heard the message "MISS in mid lane," it was too late to retreat back to the second tower.

Soon, the bottom lane minions pushed into the tower, and Jayce and Gragas appeared behind the tower on time, and a tower dive slowly unfolded!

If you had a god's-eye view, you would see that KZ had no teammates in the entire bottom half of the map. The two old men from Xuanming were completely isolated and helpless!

Therefore, without any suspense, as Shi Senming's Janna used her basic attack to tank the tower, Xiangguo used his E to charge in, directly sentencing the Xuanming Elders to death!

Because this tower dive was too easy, QG, who were experienced in tower diving, even rationally distributed the kills.

Chen Dongqing worked hard and made great contributions, winning one.

Uzi, as an AD carry, has a promising future and deserves a win.

After securing the kill, a celebratory "NiceNice" voice immediately came through the voice chat.

The voice belonged to none other than Xiao Hu on the road.

Xiaohu really enjoyed this game.

Wow, as soon as I logged in, I saw a Vladimir with a Doran's Shield laning against me, and he was under almost no pressure!

The rest of the match was much simpler: top laner farmed minions, and mid laner secured first blood.

He finished off the remaining minions, and then ganked again in the bottom lane.

One more kill, and two kills in the bottom lane!

They did absolutely nothing, and the team is already 4-0!

So the top lane position is really that wonderful?

In that instant, Xiao Hu suddenly sensed the happiness Chen Dongqing sometimes experienced.

He'd love to play top lane every day from now on. He's just going to coast along anyway. He can learn from the team's substitutes and pick Ornn to camp in the top lane. Anyone can do that.

But Xiaohu's wonderful moment didn't last long. The moment the top lane minions entered the tower, a teleportation circle suddenly appeared behind his tower.

Xiao Hu's expression instantly changed.

Top lane Viktor gets tower-dived – a familiar scenario.

To truly enjoy something, you should enjoy the whole package.

Xiaohu enjoyed the easy win when Chen Dongqing was carried to victory, so he certainly couldn't miss out when Chen Dongqing's Viktor was relentlessly targeted in the previous game.

In the previous game, Chen Dongqing calmly thwarted KZ's three-man tower dive.

Does Xiaohu handle this?

Obviously not.

But he has a father.

"Help! Help! Help!" Just a second ago Xiaohu was shouting "Nice!", but immediately yelled, "They're trying to dodge me!"

His teammates are all in the bottom half of the map, who will come to his rescue?

As Ryze and Rek'Sai teleported to the ground, KZ's three-man tower dive slowly began!

At that very moment, a TP light appeared!

Who says no one will save them?

Really!

Chen Dongqing, who had just finished diving the tower in the bottom lane, stood next to KZ's bottom lane tower and teleported directly towards the top lane!

The audience below the stage erupted in cheers, and the commentator, Guan Daxiao, was equally excited: "Tree's TP was crucial! Jayce's fighting power is too strong; KZ might have to retreat this wave!"

As expected, seeing the TP light up, KZ's mid and jungle duo hesitated for a second before ultimately choosing to retreat.

Chen Dongqing could have waited until the enemy started tower diving before using his ultimate, which would have likely allowed him to pick up a kill after Xiaohu died.

But Chen Dongqing didn't do that; he directly used the "T" technique to save Xiaohu's life.

This is a case of being overly protective of one's child.

Xiao Hu was incredibly excited to see that his Tree Daddy had actually teleported up to protect him, and kept repeating "Awesome!" in the voice chat.

Chen Dongqing remained calm and smiled, saying, "Be careful. When there's a fight in the bottom lane, you should retreat in the top lane. Don't give them a chance."

Xiaohu made the mistake of a novice top laner in this play.

If it were someone like A-Guang or Duke, a seasoned top laner, they would have retreated to the bushes long ago, needless to say.

Of course, Xiaohu is a mid-laner after all, so it's understandable that he lacks experience in this area.

Little Tiger nodded vigorously, obediently replying, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely pay attention next time!"

Chen Dongqing then smiled and pressed the recall button, taking a wave of minions from Xiaohu in the process.

Seeing that the crisis on the top lane had been resolved, the commentator, Remember, smiled and said, "I have to say, I have to take back what I said at the end of the first game. I said that QG in the first game reminded me of the QG of 16."

"But I have to say, this QG team in this match truly embodies the 2016 version of QG! A 4-0 kill score in just six minutes, with a lead of nearly 3,000 gold, is absolutely terrifying!"

"The main thing is that Brother Shu's mid-lane rhythm is amazing!" Guan Daxiao nodded with a smile. "I think he was so busy. First, he went to the bottom lane to gank two, and then he immediately teleported to the top lane to protect Xiaohu. In just half a minute, he ran through both the top and bottom lanes! You can hardly imagine that this is actually a top laner."

Upon hearing this topic, Doinb couldn't help but express his admiration, saying, "Brother Shu's understanding of the game is indeed far ahead of other players, which makes it very easy for him to play any position."

After this wave, QG's momentum did not stop, but continued.

Within seven minutes, Xiangguo reached level six and immediately began looking for a target to attack.

He glanced back and forth between the bottom and middle lanes, but ultimately decided to target the middle lane.

An underdeveloped little Ryze, easy kill!

In the mid lane, Chen Dongqing pushed the minion wave into the tower. He held up all his skills, looked at Ryze not far away, and said with narrowed eyes, "Come on, let's make our move."

Xiangguo, who had been silently crouching behind KZ's first tower, received the order, immediately drank some alcohol, activated Predator, and rushed out!

BDD was staring at the health bar of the cannon minion in front of him when he suddenly turned around and saw a barrel appear behind him, ramming into him so hard that he was dizzy.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Dongqing launched a series of attacks!

After a black cannon shot was fired, Chen Dongqing immediately activated WR and switched to the white hammer form.

Black cannon and white hammer, this is the championship Jayce skin belonging to 369.

However, it's worth noting that there's a rather interesting little Easter egg here. Since the attack speed buff is a skill in cannon form, even if you switch to the white hammer form, the next three basic attacks will still have black effects.

Chen Dongqing used the [Leap of the Sky] to jump up, creating a burst of white light, and then swung his black hammer three times in succession. Finally, he used his E [Thunder Strike] and, relying on his superior equipment, he actually killed Ryze on the spot!

"Huh?" Xiangguo, who had just used Q to dash in from behind the wall, threw out a W combo, and before Q could even detonate, Ryze was already dead on the spot. He immediately asked the soul-searching question: "That was a one-hit kill?"

"That's how mages are," Chen Dongqing said calmly, turning to leave the tower. "What kind of resilience can a mere 'Goddess's Tear' possess?"

In just eight minutes, Chen Dongqing has already achieved a terrifying score of 3-0-1.

Moreover, this is a 3-0-1 formation in the middle unit, which is different from the top unit.

With this kind of performance in the top lane, the only one who will suffer is the enemy top laner, and at most the jungler will also be affected.

But if the mid-laner has this kind of record, then the entire opposing team will suffer!

After taking the kill, Chen Dongqing returned to the city.

With the help of three kills and one assist, the Magic Boots, which were supposed to be given out in ten minutes, were given out in eight minutes ahead of schedule.

At the same time, Chen Dongqing also transformed the serrated dagger in his hand into the Spirit of Dreams.

The combination of Magical Boots and Youmuu's Ghostblade provides out-of-combat movement speed, allowing Jayce to roam freely throughout the Rift.

The scariest episode yet.

After being re-released, Jayce's damage output became outrageous.

Chen Dongqing used the same trick again, seizing the opportunity when Ryze and the ranged minion were standing together and fired a shot, not only killing the ranged minion instantly, but also reducing Ryze's health by a third!

BDD remained silent and quietly retreated to the base of the tower.

Chen Dongqing didn't linger online; after pushing the lane, he disappeared from the mid lane.

For the rest of the time, Jayce kept moving, appearing in various corners of the canyon.

First, they forced the enemy jungler to use Flash again and chased him away. Then, they launched a four-man gank on the bottom lane, taking down two kills and the bottom lane tower.

Following this momentum, QG then initiated a major lane swap.

After playing passively for the entire game, Xiaohu went to the bottom lane to continue defending the tower and trying to control the situation.

Uzi headed to the mid lane to begin his farming and tower-pushing strategy.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, returned to the familiar path of the road.

Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night – it's like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

When Khan, a fellow countryman, saw that Jayce had returned with an absurd 5-0-1 record, he was at a loss for words.

你让我0-0-0的，去对线5-0-1的？

Eleven minutes later, Chen Dongqing pushed the minion wave into the tower. Without the slightest hesitation, he made his move!

Khan stood under the tower with almost full health, countless possibilities and corresponding strategies flashing through his mind.

I'm a vampire, fully healed, with ultimate and flash buffs, and you think you can take me down all by yourself?

The next second, Jayce unleashed a burst of damage with AQRQA, reducing his health to below half in a single exchange.

Furthermore, this Q form in cannon mode doesn't use the acceleration gate; it's just a regular little bean.

The Khans were stunned.

What kind of inflicts of damage is this?!

Khan quickly used his ultimate to hit Jayce, then used his W to burrow underground.

But Chen Dongqing had already triggered the phase ability and was moving very fast, immediately rushing out of the turret's range and resetting the turret's aggro.

Once the vampire uses W, Chen Dongqing rushes in, uses E to knock the vampire away, then switches back to cannon form, taps W three times, and fires a close-range, off-target cannon shot, righteously killing the vampire!

Khan painstakingly farmed for ten minutes, ending with a score of 0-0-0 and 108 CS. His farm was quite impressive, and he was at full health with both his ultimate and Flash available. His combat power was definitely not weak.

But in the face of absolute economic superiority, this little bit of knowledge is meaningless; he doesn't even know when to use his Flash.

"This is a ten-minute tower dive!" Colonel Guan said with a laugh. "Khan has a huge minion wave piled up under his tower. If nothing unexpected happens, Maokai will easily destroy the top lane tower this time!"

At that moment, bad news also came from the mid lane. Xiangguo made a perfect E-flash-R to initiate the team fight, blasting BDD's Ryze out of the tower. Xiaoming's Janna predicted Ryze's landing point and perfectly knocked him away with a Q!

Uzi set up a trap, followed by a Q followed by a headshot, then an E followed by another headshot, instantly taking down BDD!

The mid tower is also in QG's grasp!

Now, just over ten minutes in, the economic difference between the two sides is already close to five thousand!

Immediately afterwards, QG grouped up and secured the Rift Herald, but they didn't rush to give it up. Instead, they temporarily returned to base to regroup.

Commentators from all over the world were deeply saddened.

They haven't seen such a large gap in professional matches for a long time.

Only the three commentators in the South Korean commentary booth were different.

They were speechless at that moment, feeling only ashamed.

"Why is there such a big difference?" Kim Dong-jun was completely baffled. "Is Ilex's mid lane rhythm really that good? He's killing everyone he goes!"

The Roaring Emperor also showed a bitter expression. "This game was mainly due to a miscalculation in the draft phase, wasn't it? Who would have thought that QG would let Ilex play mid lane?"

"Yeah, what a cunning team," the third commentator, CloudTemplar, wholeheartedly agreed.

The three commentators had already given up hope for the outcome of this match.

With such a huge disadvantage, how could they possibly turn the tide?

There has never been such a precedent in international competitions.

The three players now just hope that even if KZ loses, they can lose gracefully.

The game quickly reached the 22-minute mark. By then, all six of KZ's outer towers had been destroyed, and the five players were huddled inside the high ground, too afraid to come out.

Seeing that KZ's players were moving like turtles and it wasn't easy for them to take down the high ground, QG simply pushed all three lanes of minions first, and then started Baron Nashor!

QG never hesitates when it comes to Baron Nashor; without a word, they went all in!

At that moment, KZ's minimap was filled with signals. They knew that QG was at Baron Nashor, so the five of them were quite anxious and headed straight for the Baron pit.

But halfway through the jungle, a Jayce stood in front of them.

QG's four players were all fighting Baron Nashor in the Baron pit, leaving Jayce completely isolated and helpless.

But Jess seemed to have no idea what the word "coward" meant, and immediately unleashed a [Electric Energy Surge] blast!

Boom!

This shot hit KZ's excavator, Rakan, and Ryze directly!

With a leading economy, this shot dealt terrifying damage, instantly taking away a third of the health of three people!

The horrific damage startled everyone.

What kind of damage is this?!

With this much health, can he still engage in a Baron fight?

It's impossible, isn't it?

GorillA stared at Jayce for a long time, and in that instant, he suddenly had an urge to R-Flash-W and engage on Jayce.

Then he remembered that Ilex was on the other side.

This person couldn't have been picked up so easily.

GorillA sighed and finally gave up on contesting Baron: "Let's just give it up, it can't fight at this health level."

Backstage at KZ, Coach Sin listened to the team's commands and decisions, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Can you give way to this dragon?

The economic gap between the two sides has exceeded 10,000. You gave up this dragon, can you hold on to it?

Seeing KZ's players being repelled by Jayce's single shot, the three commentators in the LCK commentary booth went crazy.

"Huh???" Roaring Emperor couldn't help but shout, "Don't retreat! Don't retreat!!! Damn it, how are we going to win if we give up the Baron?"

However, KZ's players were destined not to hear the commentators' shouts. The five of them grouped up and headed towards the mid lane, managing to take down one of QG's mid towers.

Just before KZ destroyed the middle tower, a message appeared on the screen.

"The Blue Legion has killed Baron Nash!"

Trading a dragon for a middle tower is a huge loss.

Seeing KZ's strategy, countless viewers couldn't help but laugh.

Trade the mid-lane tower for Baron?

Is this the current operational level of LCK teams?

That's too high!

"Alright, Baron Nashor secured!" Colonel Guan said with a smile, "Now, just over twenty minutes in, the gold difference between the two sides has reached a staggering 12,000. With the Baron buff, QG is just one easy push away from victory!"

I originally intended to finish writing it in one go, but it still went a little over.

But it's not a big problem. We're still in control of the pace. We'll go a little over in the second game and be more refined in the third. We'll finish this BO5 tomorrow.
