Chapter 28 I'll go hold off one wave
"Wow, that's some ridiculous skill dodging! Does it really only dodge targeted attacks?"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream!"
"However, I still have to ask, where is the enemy jungler this wave?"
"Jungler? Junglers are dead, choose your idol instead."
"No way, did EDG really get a god-tier card? I say this is on par with 'Never Petrified,' who disagrees?"
"RNG is really at a huge loss. Isn't this top laner better than Letme?"
"Stop hyping him up. He's not even finished one game, and you've already made him sound like the best in the world. And comparing him to Kobe? Does he even deserve the title?"
"It's just luck!"
This failed gank attempt, which resulted in a counter-kill, is an unimaginable blow to VG.
They felt like they were playing in a low-elo ranked game; they were all locals, except for Li Chen, who was smurfing in a high-elo game.
Are you really taking on boosting jobs for professional matches?
Amidst his teammates' praise, Li Chen pushed the lane back to base and then continued hiking back to the lane.
Next, Li Chen started using the same old strategy: controlling the minion wave and waiting to reach level six. Loong didn't dare to leave the tower at this point, otherwise he would have at least half health left, and if his E skill was interrupted again, he might even die instantly.
But when he saw a level 6 Riven pushing into the tower with a huge minion wave after five minutes, he didn't even dare to stay under the tower anymore.
The jungler, Shen, had just appeared in the bottom lane when Li Chen tower-dived and killed him at level four. Shen, who only had starting items and boots, was under no pressure.
Guan Zeyuan sighed: "If VG has no one to protect Shen from taking this wave of minions under the tower, then Riven will have to disconnect under the second tower, and it will be a problem how Shen will get back to lane."
Rita felt somewhat desperate: "The key is that if the excavator comes over now, Riven might get a double kill, and if the mid-lane Azir moves, Taliyah can teleport and use her ultimate to come to the rescue in time."
Neither of the two commentators, speaking from a god-like perspective, could see that Shen had any chance of returning to the first tower.
What? You mean you're going to teleport back after you've teleported?
It would be better to just walk up and let Li Chen kill you. That way, Li Chen might go back home after he's done killing you, and Shen would have a chance to revive and teleport to farm minions.
For the next two minutes, Riven dominated the upper jungle, so Rek'Sai didn't even dare to farm the jungle monsters in the upper jungle and could only go to the bottom lane to look for opportunities.
Around eight minutes into the game, the excavator actually found an opportunity and, while Gragas was helping Li Chen farm jungle camps in the top lane, ganked and killed the AD carry once.
However, as the commentators often say, this kill is too boring. The dragon was just controlled by EDG and hasn't respawned yet. There are no resources on the map to take.
Even after the AD died, Meiko was able to confidently go to the top side of the map and place wards for Li Chen.
At this point, EDG had three true wards and three fake wards in the upper half of the map, practically illuminating the entire area, leaving VG with no chance to gank.
Seeing VG's lazy and complacent attitude, Guan Zeyuan praised them, saying, "I can only say that EDG's tactics have changed too much. Look, they have devoted almost half of their vision resources to Riven, and Clearlove is willing to starve himself to feed Riven jungle monsters. They are clearly trying to raise an unstoppable top laner."
Conversely, looking at VG on the other side, their top laner is currently five levels behind god_C and 67 CS behind, which is equivalent to being completely outnumbered. They can't even switch lanes because sending their bot lane duo to face this Riven is practically feeding kills.
Rita nodded and said, "I can only say that god_C really deserves this kind of resource allocation. Now that there is the deterrent effect of Riven in the top lane, Gragas has also successfully secured the Rift Herald. VG's people don't even dare to take a look."
"To put it bluntly, VG has no chance of turning the game around in the current situation. They can't even kill god_C once, unless EDG makes a huge mistake, like a team wipe or something, then they might have a chance."
VG's players are well aware of their current situation. They have essentially given up and are simply mechanically farming minions, returning to base, and logging back in, repeating the same routine.
As for the coach's initial strategy of focusing on the bottom lane, while the pick of Caitlyn in the bottom lane did create some advantages in the early game, the subsequent tower pushing pace was too slow.
With Li Chen teleporting, they didn't dare to push the lane at all. Otherwise, if Li Chen teleported down, their combination of Caitlyn and Zyra wouldn't be enough to defeat Riven alone.
Furthermore, with top laner Shen still unsure if he'll reach level six by the end of the game, the bot lane is even less likely to push the lane and give them an opportunity.
It can be said that VG has now entered the phase of protecting KDA.
At the eleven-minute mark, the first tower was naturally destroyed by the minions. Li Chen cleared the blue team's upper jungle and then went back to base.
At this moment, Gragas had already circled around from the Dragon Pit and stood behind the bottom lane tower in front of Excavator. He placed a ward, and Li Chen's teleportation was immediately activated.
In the bottom lane, a female police officer and a Zyra were trembling under the tower, too scared to move.
If you're standing still, you can't run away. As for changing your position?
If the Minotaur opens the tower, who can they trade for?
The Tsar originally intended to teleport to the bottom lane to provide support, but when he saw that Taliyah had also activated her teleport, the Marquis decisively canceled his own teleport.
Five against two, it's hopeless. Let the bot lane die, he still has to protect his KDA.
As for Shen in the top lane, needless to say, he has only just gotten the minion wave and is not yet level six. If he teleports down, he might not be as durable as a cannon minion.
When the junior saw that the Tsar had canceled his teleport and started pushing the lane, he was too lazy to go himself, so he simply canceled his teleport as well and stayed in the mid lane to farm and wait for an easy win.
In the bottom lane, without waiting for the minion wave to reach the tower, Ashe used her ultimate to control Zyra, signaling the start of this tower dive kill.
Alistar used his ultimate to lock down Caitlyn, Gragas followed up with his E skill for further control, Riven used RERQW followed by Ravenous Hydra, and then Thunderlord's Decree, resulting in Caitlyn and Zyra both falling to the ground.
The excavator, perched in the grass by the second tower, witnessed everything but showed no intention of going up.
EDG then pushed down the bottom lane tower and moved into the river to take the dragon.
Although Houye in the mid lane is known as the second defensive tower, he decided to move his defensive tower behind the second tower first in the face of EDG's aggressive five-man attack.
The unimpeded advance allowed EDG's economy to roll rapidly, with Li Chen leading the team to take down both the top and bottom lane second towers.
With their last remaining mid-lane tier 2 tower unable to hold out, the entire VG team retreated into their high ground, waiting for EDG to launch a decisive attack.
At 19 minutes, Li Chen's economy exploded, with over 240 CS and his own Mercury's Treads. At this point, he had CD boots, Ravenous Hydra, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Black Cleaver, and Mercury's Treads, making him the best-equipped player on the field.
At this moment, the factory manager suddenly spoke up: "Let's take down Baron Nashor, play it safe. Pushing down the enemy base in less than 20 minutes in two consecutive games is a bit too much."
"I hurt you... whatever you say, I'll do it. You four go fight the dragon, I'll go to the mid lane to hold them off."
Li Chen almost blurted out the Little Grand Secretary's classic quote, but quickly took it back in fright. Otherwise, when he returned to the dormitory tonight, the factory manager might make him call him Brother Jie.
"Then be careful, don't get fired."
Li Chen chose not to hear and directly led the minion wave to the ruins of the blue team's second tower, occasionally going up to show off his lightning-fast QQQ.
VG's five players stood ready on the high ground, but after waiting for a long time, they found that only Riven seemed to have arrived.
"Are the other team members probably attacking Baron Nashor?"
"Damn it, this Riven is too arrogant!"
"Why don't we work together and kill him once? We can't lose two rounds in a row and end up not even killing him once."
"I agree!"
"agree!"
"I...agree!"
Loong hesitated a bit in his answer. To be honest, the time Li Chen interrupted his E skill in the top lane had already given him some psychological trauma.
He was genuinely afraid that if five people went to fight Riven, they would end up getting outplayed and made a fool of themselves.
But this uncle was someone he had raised himself, so it wouldn't be right for him not to take the job.
So the five VG players got restless and started moving towards the outside of the high ground tower.
Seeing their actions, Li Chen knew what they wanted to do without even guessing. He turned around, released a Q skill, and retreated towards the upper jungle.
Seeing that Li Chen was about to run away, VG became even more energetic. They set up a scout to see who was behind them, and the excavator took the lead and used its E skill to chase after him.
"It seems like VG is going to make a move against god_C. Right now, the rest of EDG are fighting Baron, so god_C needs to retreat first, otherwise he might give up this big kill."
Although Guan Zeyuan said that, he didn't really care. Even if VG really killed Riven in this wave, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the game.
