League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 209 Since We're Here
Faker's understanding of minion waves, while not as systematic as it would be in later generations, is still enough, even based on experience, to immediately see Huni's predicament in the top lane.
So when his camera briefly panned across the top lane, he immediately signaled to Peanut: "Wanghu, after you finish clearing EDG's top jungle, go to the top lane and help Huni push the minion wave. Huni needs to go back to base to farm."
Upon hearing this, Peanut, who was fighting the three wolves, switched the camera to the top lane and immediately stopped.
However, he then said sarcastically, "Aigoo, is this what a strong Fiora looks like? The advantage is indeed quite significant."
Huni was provoked by these words, and her already fragile heart shattered. She retorted in a huff, "I can handle the top lane. You don't need to clear the wave."
Faker frowned slightly. They already had early game pressure, and if they couldn't gain an advantage, they would be very passive in the mid-game. Why were the top and jungle doing this now?
Are they really going to cause a team split?
In the pursuit of victory, Faker finally couldn't hold back and brought out the team's trump card, saying in a forceful, commanding tone: "Wanghu, go help him clear the lane. Huni, push the third wave of minions and immediately recall to base."
Meanwhile, the EDG team was also communicating via voice chat.
Li Chen guessed that SKT wouldn't let their top lane collapse like they did in the group stage, so he immediately instructed Clearlove: "Clearlove, hurry up and farm the jungle, get to level three quickly and put pressure on the enemy bot lane, don't let Twitch have such a good time."
The factory manager glanced at the top lane and asked, "So what are you going to do in the top lane? If Peanut goes to push the lane later, and you have to push back, what if he ganks you then?"
"He can't push it in!"
A smile appeared on Li Chen's face. Since he knew that Peanut was going to help untangle the knots, how could he let the other party achieve his goal so easily?
At 2 minutes and 40 seconds into the game, the level 3 Lee Sin appeared on the top lane with the blue buff. With the jungler there, Fiora immediately felt confident and quickly pushed the lane.
However, Huni and Peanut soon realized that something was wrong. The ranged minions of the third wave of siege minions were actually blocked by Li Chen under the first tower.
At this point, the blue team's siege engine line is positioned with three melee soldiers blocking the way, the siege engine resting on the edge of the turret, and three ranged soldiers completely covered by the turret's attack range.
In other words, if the two players want to push the lane quickly, they need to keep probing the edge of the turret.
At this moment, Li Chen controlled Riven to stand next to the cannon minion, and used the first part of his Q skill, Broken Wings Dance, as the broken sword in his hand lit up.
Peanut and Huni stood in front clearing out the melee soldiers. They quickly killed the three melee soldiers, but Huni did not level up to level three.
Following the typical solo lane upgrade progression, you'll reach level three after clearing the melee units in the siege minion lane.
But now Peanut has stolen the experience of two ranged units and three melee units from Huni, so if Huni wants to level up to level three, he needs to take the experience of one more siege minion and two more ranged units.
This was the opportunity Li Chen created by pulling the line and blocking the line; he didn't intend to let Huni go back alive this time.
After all, pressing B to return to town is too tiring and you have to wait, so it's more convenient to have him give you a ride.
As the blue team's melee minions died, the red team's minion wave began to advance, with several melee minions walking directly into the turret's range.
While clearing out the enemy troops, Li Chen also held his position to prevent Huni and Peanut from easily attacking the siege engine.
Faced with Li Chen's extreme pulling power, Peanut and Huni were tormented and felt a bit uncomfortable.
Finally, Peanut couldn't hold back any longer. He was in a hurry to farm the jungle and didn't want to waste time in the top lane, so he went up and used E to trigger Q, tanked Li Chen's damage and kicked the second part of Q, then followed up with Smite to take down the cannon minion, and finally ganked Fiora to go back.
Seeing his perfectly crafted cannon vehicle destroyed like that, Huni felt as if he had been pricked by a needle.
But there's nothing I can do; he's the one being helped now, so he's not in the right and can't say much.
The two had already planned to retreat, but the next second, Li Chen forcibly pulled them back.
Because the red team's siege engine had locked onto Li Chen as its target, he blocked it outside the tower.
Huni pointed at his own cannon minion with a contorted expression and said, "Damn it, the next wave of minions is coming. If this cannon minion can't get in, the minion wave won't be able to push forward."
As she spoke, Huni immediately turned around and used her Q on Riven, trying to push Riven back to the tower while Peanut was still there.
However, this was the moment Li Chen had been waiting for.
When Huni attacks, start with a basic attack and don't use any skills, just tank the damage from the minions and Fiora.
Peanut was somewhat helpless, but since he was already there, what could he say? He could only turn back with Fiora to protect her one more time.
After three basic attacks, when a red light suddenly appeared on Riven, Li Chen knew the time had come.
He was stacking Fervor of Battle on himself when he was fighting Lee Sin, and now it's fully stacked.
The next second, Riven spun around and unleashed a lightning-fast QA combo, instantly reducing Fiora's seemingly healthy health bar to less than 200.
Huni was startled by the damage and quickly pressed W to block it, otherwise he was afraid that Riven would use W followed by three QA attacks to kill him instantly.
However, Li Chen seemed to have anticipated Huni's resistance, dodging Huni's W sword aura by moving just past the edge, and then blocking her way forward.
Peanut saw that Riven was still walking forward, and kept punching her with his fists, but unfortunately, he only managed to scratch her.
Actually, Riven wasn't in good shape at this point either, with only a little over 300 health. However, Lee Sin's skills were all on cooldown, with the fastest one still taking three seconds to cool down, leaving her with no means of attacking except for auto-attacks.
Huni was also extremely nervous at this moment, his finger on the Flash key, wanting to escape as soon as W ended, but he didn't know where to Flash to for a moment.
Because he realized that no matter which way he dodged, it seemed like he was going to die, and he might not even be able to take Li Chen's head.
This demonstrates the effectiveness of Li Chen's preemptive positioning; he is now behind Huni, completely blocking her retreat route.
If Fiora flashes backward now, there's no way to create distance between them. Li Chen can use his E skill to close the distance, then follow up with three Qs and W to finish her off, and finally flash to save his life depending on the situation.
If Huni wants to flash down, although he can create distance, he can simply follow suit and still get the kill. And because he is close to the turret, whether he flashes or not won't affect his retreat.
So at this point, it doesn't matter what Huni does.
