League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 215 Counter-Encirclement
Thirteen minutes later, accompanied by a notification sound, Li Chen took down the top lane tower by himself.
Li Chen didn't go home, but continued to push the minion wave towards the second tower. He still had a double crush on Fiora in terms of equipment and level, and didn't need to treat Huni like a human at all.
The factory manager followed closely behind and came to the top lane, ready to help Li Chen force back or kill Fiora and continue to take down the second tower. However, on the way, he passed near the red buff and was spotted by the ward that Peanut had placed nearby.
Faker gathered information that Nightmare was in his upper half of the map and immediately had an idea.
His Flash was already off cooldown, while Taliyah, Nocturne, and Riven's Flash were still active, making this a perfect opportunity to make a move.
But who should be the target this time?
Faker thought for a moment, then finally focused his attention on the bottom lane.
"Huni, get ready to teleport down and provide support. Peanut, go around from the jungle to the back of EDG's bottom lane tower and place a ward behind it. Prepare for a 5v2 push on the bottom lane tower."
Faker's thinking was simple: if they gank top lane, Taliyah and Nocturne would definitely arrive, creating a local 3v3 or even 2v3 situation in the top lane, since Fiora isn't exactly a human.
With Riven being so fed, they definitely can't win, so ganking the bottom lane is the only option left.
Faker laid out the tactics, and the others naturally followed suit. Peanut immediately began to take a detour and flank from behind.
However, EDG's vision control was not just for show; they managed to spot Lee Sin's movements in time through their vision in the river to the left of the Dragon Pit.
Meiko was the first to speak: "C-God, Lee Sin is coming to the bottom lane, it might be another 5v2 gank, should we defend or not?"
EDG has also studied SKT's three-pronged attack strategy. Since the top lane is difficult to target, the bottom lane is naturally the weak point, so they have been playing very cautiously in the bottom lane.
At this point, the top lane minion wave had already pushed into the second tower. Facing Riven with such luxurious equipment, plus a Nocturne nearby, Huni didn't dare to defend alone and could only retreat to the vicinity of the high ground.
"It should be a 5v2 gank. Scout, go support the bot lane later. Clearlove, you go down too, just recall to base."
As he spoke, Li Chen controlled Riven to adjust her position while attacking the tower, slowly moving towards the red team's high ground tower.
The factory manager was a little worried. After pressing recall, he said, "If I go back, the enemy might gank you. Faker has teleport, what if he flanks and ganks you?"
Riven's damage is high now, but she's also squishy. If she gets petrified and rooted by Cassiopeia, she can actually be killed if paired with Fiora.
Li Chen calmly replied, "You must have been seen when you came. Go back to the city now, and they won't dare to arrest me until you show your face."
Hearing that the team's carry couldn't make it to the team fight, Meiko was still a little worried and said, "But there are five people on the other side this time, and Clearlove is also slow to arrive. I feel that it's a bit risky to fight three against five."
But since Li Chen dared to let them fight in the bottom lane, he must have had his own reasons.
"I'll chase Fiora from the high ground later and see if I can interrupt her teleport. At most, it'll be a 3v4 situation for you guys. We can fight with the turrets. Scout can try to cut off the path and divide the battlefield first."
SKT's mid, bot, and jungle weren't particularly advanced in this game, especially the bot lane, which was double-killed by Lee Jin, significantly hindering their development.
If Huni can't land immediately, it'll be a 3v4 in the bottom lane. He doesn't expect to win in the bottom lane; as long as he doesn't lose too much in this fight and can get some kills, he can push the tower in the top lane and make a trade.
Peanut had already reached behind the stone wall, but he saw that the two EDG bot laners, who were originally controlling the lane and farming, suddenly started clearing minions and pushing the lane.
"Sang-hyeok, EDG's bot lane is pushing the lane. They probably know I'm flanking."
"It's okay, just place the ward. Huni, you can teleport now."
Faker didn't hesitate or choose to cancel the attack, because he knew very well that they didn't have any more chances in this game.
Even if EDG finds out, it doesn't matter. Riven is still under the top lane tower and doesn't have teleport, so she definitely won't be able to provide support in time.
As for Nightmare, he can't be seen right now, but he won't be able to reach the bottom lane for a while. Even if Taliyah uses her ultimate to support, it will be a 5v3 situation at most, which is definitely manageable.
The enemy has vanished!
The enemy has vanished!
Seeing Faker suddenly retreat into the blind spot under the tower, Scout immediately signaled: "Faker's gone, he's probably teleporting, I'm coming right now."
Li Chen also saw Huni retreating, but he did not immediately pursue her. Instead, he deliberately waited for a moment.
Less than two seconds later, Li Chen immediately controlled Riven to rush into the base of the high ground tower, and soon saw Fiora who had just pressed the teleport button.
Huni's attention was initially focused on the bottom lane, and he was unaware that Riven was tower diving to interrupt him. By the time he realized he was being controlled, it was too late.
Returning to her own perspective, Huni saw Riven wielding a greatsword and hacking at her. Only then did she understand why Riven hadn't pushed the tower earlier, but instead had run to the front of the high ground.
This is specifically designed to interrupt you while you're waiting to teleport.
"Damn it, I got interrupted!" Huni said as she cast her ultimate on Riven, creating an opening and running away.
Faker had already switched screens to get a clear view of the top lane situation, because he and Huni had teleported to the same ward. Now he had already landed, but Huni's teleport had disappeared.
Suddenly, one person was missing, turning five against three into four against three, which added a lot of variables. But now the die was cast and there was no turning back.
"Push down the bottom lane quickly. Peanut and I will surround from behind. Wait for me to make the first move and try to kill Taliyah first."
As Faker finished speaking, a figure flew over from the jungle riding a stone wall, directly blocking the front of the first tower.
"We can't get past the minion wave, and it looks like they're going to attack you first."
Wolf's expression changed. He felt that this gank was really a bit too difficult. He didn't even want to think about what would happen if Nightmare arrived later.
In the LPL live stream, Miller is quickly explaining the current situation: "C interrupted Huni's teleport in the top lane. Huni can't go to the bottom lane now, but he has his ultimate and Flash, so he won't die here. C went back to destroy the tower and didn't continue chasing."
But a fight is breaking out in the bottom lane too. Faker has already landed and is blocking behind the first tower. Taliyah uses her ultimate to support, and the wall blocks the bottom lane minion wave. SKT's bottom lane duo doesn't have any mobility skills, so they can't get through.
"In this case, Lee Sin and Cassiopeia were trapped behind the first tower, while Nocturne was rushing down. Suddenly, the bottom lane became a 4v2 for EDG. SKT was a bit careless in taking the initiative this time."
