This Lee Sang-hyeok is very strong, but he lacks self-awareness.

"Ah Guang, help me clear the jungle. Just use QA and leave. You might miss one minion, but you definitely won't miss any experience."

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, the bugle call for the all-out attack echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.

This completely illogical demand for wilderness exploration made Mouse's heart tighten.

But after thinking about it, he figured he shouldn't miss any experience points, so he still controlled Poppy and swung the hammer at the red buff.

AQA, Mouse immediately turned around and headed towards the top lane.

On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan adjusted his glasses:

"Hey? Everyone look at the minimap! Lin Xiu is going against the grain this game, he's letting Poppy start with red buff for him in the top lane? That's so rare on the red side, Poppy's going to miss minions!"

Remember to keep your eyes glued to the screen and speak very quickly:

"But Poppy is very cunning. She only hit once and left immediately, without revealing any experience, so it was difficult for the opponent to notice."

After receiving the red buff, Lin Xiu didn't touch his own top side of the map at all.

Using the passive movement speed bonus in leopard form while hiding in the bushes, he jumped over the wall and entered IG's blue buff area!

He placed a very deep blue buff ward in the shadows outside the three wolf pit, and then calmly pulled out the frog to start farming.

Meanwhile, Kid's Kha'Zix finished off the red buff and raptors and was farming the wolves.

"He's too calm. He's playing mind games with Kid!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed.

"Lin Xiu calculated that Kid would farm the F6 and Wolves camps to maximize his experience, so the Kha'Zix wouldn't reach level three with three jungle camps."

Both sides took down the toad and the three wolves almost simultaneously.

"Viewers, please look at Kid's experience bar!"

I remember shouting, "You're only 10% away from level 3! Even if Kid clears one more jungle camp, he still needs to clear the blue buff to reach level 3!"

Kid unknowingly stumbled into the blue buff pit, only to be met with a spear that had been charged to its maximum range.

Javelin throw!

Then came the leopard woman in her leopard form, who pounced, swung, and knocked the mantis down, immediately reducing its health to critical levels.

Although KID had an experience advantage at this moment, he was still only level 2 and only had two skills. After a brief resistance with WQ, he could only Flash away and return to base to heal.

The Nidalee then secured the blue buff and reached level three, before recalling to base to buy more items.

"Kid is completely screwed up. He's out of mana, out of levels, and even used Flash!"

The battle in the middle lane has now reached a fever pitch.

Before level three, both sides pushed the laning phase to its limits.

Rookie's LeBlanc constantly pressured the enemy with her positioning, trying to find an opportunity to trade blows using her QW combo.

Lee Sang-hyeok's Cassiopeia used the speed boost from her Q skill to constantly reposition and kite the opponent with auto-attacks. The two frequently exchanged blows, and their health was reduced to half in the intense battle.

Rookie, who had just reached level three, saw Kid get counter-jungled and decided to recall to base to play it safe and avoid being caught out.

But in that instant, he caught a fatal detail.

The snake woman was positioned a bit too far forward!

"Is the Enchantress leaving? If she doesn't leave with this low health, she'll be easy to catch."

"Wait, LeBlanc wants to solo kill!"

Remember to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

Rookie didn't recall; he had anticipated Lee Sang-hyeok's intention to push the lane and into the tower while Rookie was recalling.

After escaping the snake woman's sight, the demon girl circled around and entered the river bushes!

Then, seizing the opportunity when the Cassiopeia's Q minion pushed forward, she launched a fierce attack.

Flash followed by Shadow Stalker minimizes Cassiopeia's reaction time.

The director immediately switched the view to the red team.

From the red team's perspective, this was a violent, blind-sighted attack.

The demon queen's figure appeared almost simultaneously with the flash of golden light, stepping towards her location.

The sudden murderous intent elicited gasps from the audience.

As everyone knows, if you step on it, once the passive effect explodes, Cassiopeia is doomed. That's the charm of the number one stat monster in the S7 Spring Split.

However, in that 0.1-second brush with death, Lee Sang-hyeok displayed an inhuman reaction that silenced the entire audience.

A golden light appeared almost simultaneously with the demoness.

Lee Sang-hyeok wasn't hit; instead, he dodged backward at the last second.

The enchantress's seemingly inevitable stomp left only a hollow echo on the ground.

"He dodged it! Did Faker predict LeBlanc wouldn't leave with that Flash?!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice cracked.

Lee Sang-hyeok's expression remained as calm as a rock. In the instant he flashed, he delivered a deadly poison mist with a precise backhand, striking the location behind the Demoness's Shadow Clone.

Ground binding effect applied!

Then, the Cassiopeia's skills began to light up at LeBlanc's feet.

Knowing there was no way out, Rookie countered with a QE.

However, the Cassiopeia used the speed boost from her Q to break LeBlanc's illusion chains, leaving LeBlanc with no chance of recovery.

"First Blood!"

"EDG, Faker kills IG, Rookie."

The moment the system announcement appeared, the cheers inside the stadium almost lifted the roof off.

Lin Xiu upgraded his jungle item in the fountain, glanced at the minimap while traveling, and chuckled:

"Brother Li, your seduction is a bit too deep. Even I thought you were really going to be trampled to death."

Lee Sang-hyeok responded calmly, "He's impatient."

During EDG's voice chat, his teammates were also very surprised by this solo kill.

"Brother Li, we haven't even reached level three in the bot lane yet, and you've already gotten a solo kill? With lane priority, you and Xiaolin can gank bot lane together as a four-man gank."

Although Meiko was somewhat surprised, she immediately made a tactical decision for the next step.

"The enemy jungler is crippled, and their mid laner got solo-killed. The advantage is on our side, brothers, stay calm!"

Mouse also loudly encouraged his teammates.

The two commentators on the platform had already started yelling.

"First blood! EDG's rookie mid laner takes first blood against LPL's top mid laner Rookie."

"Rookie's maneuvering fooled his teammates, the audience, and even us commentators, but it didn't fool EDG's rookie mid laner, Faker!"

"This reaction speed, this level of precision in his movements... Faker really has that early Rookie-esque quality!"

As always, Guan Zeyuan started by taking the lead, and Ji Xiang immediately followed up with a response:

"It was too hasty. LeBlanc is overpowered, but her strength isn't that high until level six. Cassiopeia also has her W to limit LeBlanc's movement."

"Normally, we should postpone it until we reach level six and have a major item before thinking about solo kills."

"I think Rookie underestimated Faker too much. If Scout were playing Cassiopeia, he definitely wouldn't dare to do that."

Guan Zeyuan immediately retorted, "If it were Scout, do you think he would have let Rookie have LeBlanc like that?"

"Uh, hahaha, you're right."

The live stream chat was equally buzzing with excitement.

[Just because you've stomped a few local noob mid laners doesn't mean you're invincible, right? Playing so arrogantly!]

Is Rookie really that good? How about Xiaohu?

[Rookie is just this? A Tier 0 mid laner? A top-tier Korean import? Is KRD calling again?]

Our all-Chinese team is the best!

[It's absolutely impossible for Xiaohu to be solo-killed by Cassiopeia in this situation!]

Why are RNG fans in such a hurry? Isn't EDG's mid laner also Korean?

[This Faker's mechanics are incredibly refined, and his reactions are lightning fast. He really feels like a mini-Rookie!]

[Our Faker and Lin have reached number one in the Korean server, they've solo-killed Crown, Bdd, Chovy, etc., so what's so strange about solo-killing Rookie?]
