League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 44 Limit Card Vision
The top laner, Lissandra, died once and was suppressed in level, completely losing the ability to contest lane control with Orianna and could only let Orianna control the lane.
Moreover, because he had used Flash after dying in the previous wave, he was at risk of being killed once he crossed the river, so most of the time he could only silently collect experience points and dared not go forward to last-hit minions.
At the six-minute mark, seeing the jungler Kha'Zix appear in the bottom lane, Li Chen immediately began looking for an opportunity.
Li Chen first controlled the Clockwerk to retreat a few steps, giving the Ice Maiden an opportunity to use her Q on the Cannon Minion.
His original intention was to find an opportunity to attack during the gap in Lissandra's Q-cart combo, and see if he could force Lissandra to use her E skill.
But 957, for some reason, probably felt that using Q to clear minions was unreliable and would give Orianna an opportunity, so he directly chose to use E to clear minions from a distance.
"Oh, is this how you deliver it?"
Li Chen was a little surprised, but since the other party had given him the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't miss it. The moment the Ice Maiden's E skill disappeared, he immediately flashed forward and used QW to slow down the Ice Maiden, and then instantly followed up with his ultimate.
Without any mobility skills, the Ice Maiden couldn't dodge at all and was pulled back directly by the ultimate skill. Her already low health was reduced to one-fifth by this combo.
"It's over, brothers, I'm done for." 957's expression was somewhat bitter.
He knew he had made a mistake; normally he wouldn't have used his E skill to clear the minion wave. The main problem was that he was under immense pressure in lane, and he felt like he was losing his mind.
Upon hearing the bad news from the top lane, Xi Ye sighed and said, "Let's switch lanes, you come to the mid lane."
When 957 heard Xiye offer to switch lanes with him, he felt a surge of emotion: "Then be careful, this guy is really too overpowered. You can't make any mistakes in lane, or you'll die if he catches you."
Xi Ye scoffed at this: "I don't believe it. I'm at full health and I don't even leave the tower. He can still kill me instantly?"
Despite taking a beating from Lucian, Xiye forced himself to clear the minion wave in front of the tower and recall, then teleported directly to the top lane.
At this moment, Li Chen was still pushing the lane. He had accumulated quite a few minions and was running out of mana, so he hadn't pushed forward yet. But this made Xi Ye feel that he saw an opportunity.
Although Xiye was suppressed in last-hitting in the mid lane, he didn't die, so his level still caught up. He then activated the Path of Warp and landed right behind Li Chen.
Just as the director finished replaying the scene of Lissandra being solo killed, the camera switched back, and Miller's eyes lit up when he saw Xiye about to attack Orianna.
"Hey, god_C is pushing the minion wave a bit slowly because he doesn't have mana. It seems like he's given an opportunity. Xiye teleports down and immediately uses his ultimate to block Orianna's retreat route. But at this moment, Orianna chooses to move forward directly. She follows the minion wave into the tower and is running towards the blue buff area."
At this moment in the scene, after Li Chen entered the blue buff jungle through the first tower, he did not choose to go towards the river, but instead ran towards the frog.
Xiye still had Flash available. He figured Li Chen would run towards the river, so he Flashed over the wall after returning to the first tower, but he didn't see Orianna.
So he quickly placed a scout ahead to monitor the river entrance, then walked into the bushes and just happened to see Clockwork disappear around the corner in front of the toad.
"Leg Bro, you gank from top lane, Condi, you come too, we have to kill him this wave."
So WE's three players made a move. 957, who had just respawned, came out through the dog hole between the top and mid lane walls, while Kha'Zix flanked from in front of the red team's first tower, determined to take this kill.
With this flanking maneuver, whether Li Chen sacrifices himself to the top lane's second tower or runs towards the mid lane, he will be surrounded by WE.
But after passing the toad's corner, Li Chen chose to walk uphill along the wall next to the toad.
And paused for a moment, and after a new wave of minions had all passed, he entered the top lane through the blind spot that had just appeared in front of the second tower, and then walked all the way to the top lane second tower and hid in the bush before pressing recall.
It was precisely because the top lane had just passed a wave of minions that Xiye, controlling Ryze, arrived at the Gromp location. Upon not seeing Orianna, he subconsciously assumed that Orianna had gone to the wolves' lair and immediately commanded the three of them to flank her.
Miller laughed as he watched this: "Oh dear, WE got tricked. They didn't expect Li Chen to dare to run into the top lane bush after stepping over the minions and entering that tiny blind spot."
The director then switched the WE team's vision. It turned out that when Ryze arrived at the blue buff intersection, he could see the vision from there to the second tower. The top lane minions were passing by, and from the minimap, WE had no blind spots.
However, this is actually a display bug. At this point, there is actually an extremely narrow black fog of vision between the minion wave and the second tower.
Li Chen walked through this blind spot, without giving Ryze or the minions any vision.
After the three WE players finished checking all the locations and gathered at the Three Wolves, they were all dumbfounded.
"No, what about the wind-up mechanism?"
"I've placed vision at the river mouth, and I've also checked the blue buff bush. There's absolutely no way they could have escaped."
"The jungle is so small, where did he hide?"
In the WE locker room, the coach and manager watched this scene and simultaneously raised their hands to cover their foreheads.
They're no longer thinking about post-match analysis and yelling at their players; they need to figure out how to comfort them and prevent them from developing psychological trauma.
"Before it was a technological crushing victory, now it's an intellectual crushing victory, pure manipulation."
"Xi Ye, stop lingering around that bastard Sanlang, he's already home."
"To be honest, this move was really skillful and daring; he managed to block even this small blind spot."
"It has that Faker vibe."
"C is really good at this, he's never taught this in the live stream."
"Stop messing around. If the opposing team doesn't ban Jayce, Fiora, or Riven, who can carry and force us to this point?"
The moment Li Chen returned home, Xiao Long's screams echoed from the bottom lane. Taking advantage of the emptiness in the bottom lane, Clearlove and his team seized the opportunity to take down Xiao Long.
Miller: "WE lost a lot of money in this wave. Originally, the economic gap between them and EDG was only 1,400 gold, but after this wave, the economic gap between the two sides has widened to 2,300 gold. That means they lost 900 gold in pure minions across all three lanes."
Su Xiaoyan felt a little upset watching this: "WE surrounded us with a large force but failed to catch anyone. The two players in the bottom lane were afraid of being ganked, so they retreated to the second tower early. Their slight economic lead was overtaken."
After Li Chen finished his equipment, he headed straight to the mid lane: "Scout, you go to the top lane and keep pressuring Ryze. Meiko, help him with vision."
"Mmm!" Scout didn't want to fight Lissandra either, otherwise he would easily get caught and killed when Lissandra got her ultimate. Ryze was easier to bully. He didn't have Flash, so he could just E into her face and that would be it.
957 hadn't even gotten a couple of bites of fresh minions in the mid lane when he saw Orianna coming out on the other side, and he completely froze: "Wait, why is this guy chasing me?"
"The middle lane is short, he can't kill you, he can just finish you off," Xi Ye comforted him slightly.
The two sides then entered a period of stable development, and the rate at which the economic gap widened began to slow down.
Ten minutes later, Li Chen pushed the minion wave to the tower, then, taking advantage of the Ice Maiden's limited vision, walked into the bushes in the lower river.
He placed a ward but found no vision, so he immediately said, "Factory, go flank the bottom lane and give the enemy some vision."
The factory manager was an old hand at this kind of thing. As soon as he saw the clockwork go into the straw, he turned around and walked upstairs. He immediately understood Li Chen's idea and took over the command.
"I'm going over there now. Pay attention to these two places; there's a high probability they're hiding there."
Li Chen glanced at the spot the factory manager had pointed to and couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to put all your effort into your own region's team. No wonder everyone calls you the god of domestic competitions."
The factory manager's face darkened: "You little black-hearted brat, you just wait until after the match."
Following the factory manager's instructions, Li Chen bypassed the enemy's vision and headed straight for their top jungle area. At the same time, 957 also sent a signal to the bottom lane: "Be careful, Orianna is missing, she might have gone to the bottom lane."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavily pregnant drunkard could be seen rushing up from the dragon pit and into the red buff jungle on WE's minimap.
WE's support player, Ben, quickly asked, "So, should we engage or not?"
"Attack! I have teleportation now. Let's go for a four-on-four attack!" 957 wanted to take a gamble.
The brother-in-law said, "Xi Ye, you keep an eye on Lucian and don't let him come down."
Even though he was trapped under the tower, Xi Ye remained defiant: "It's alright, he can't get down."
"I'm in position!" Condi moved from the jungle to the second tower, ready to attack at any moment.
In this four-on-four situation, with Ice Maiden having more crowd control, they might not necessarily lose.
