As expected, the jungler and support encountered a Lee Sin who had designs on Lulu in the mid lane. They reduced Luo Fei's health and forced LeBlanc to use Flash. They then took advantage of the situation to invade WE's jungle, and the rhythm returned to the ideal balance.

"Holy crap, this support is just ridiculously bad." In Luo Fei's memory, Meiko, the support, was a kitchen chef who was dragged down by the command position, and most of his plays after S8 were just terrible.

But this is Season 6. Who the hell would have thought that a level 3 support would go straight from home to mid lane? How amazing must one's awareness be to anticipate his movements? Even this roaming isn't his most outstanding skill.

Meiko's specialty is initiating team fights.

"Let's play it safe, their awareness is a bit too good." Xi Ye's expression was also not good. In this wave of 3v2 support, although they did not give up any kills, their health was indeed reduced, making it difficult to fight in the mid lane.

After all, Lulu with teleport is quite common, but LeBlanc with teleport is really ridiculous.

For the next few minutes, Luo Fei's Lee Sin continued his ganking strategy as usual, a choice made out of necessity. You know the enemy will target you, but if you switch to an unfamiliar playstyle just because they're targeting you, the outcome won't be much better than the initial one.

As the saying goes: what suits you best is the best.

Thanks to his early-game dominance, he did indeed help his teammates establish some advantages. He forced out a Flash in the top lane, reduced the mid laner's health to one-third, and secured another kill in the bottom lane—these are all solid achievements.

However, compared to the factory manager, he is still a step behind.

He only did two things:

1. Taking advantage of the timing of Lee Sin's gank, they secured the dragon.

2. Taking advantage of the timing of Lee Sin's gank bot lane, they ganked mid lane, forcing LeBlanc back to base, and also managed to chip away at nearly half of mid laner's health with Lulu's help.

WE appears to have an economic lead, but for a lineup like WE's that is particularly weak in early-game ADC solo combat, if Clearlove seizes another opportunity to take down the mid-tower, their rhythm will immediately collapse. Clearlove has firmly grasped WE's Achilles' heel.

Once you choose to roam between the mid and jungle, your mid tower will either be destroyed or at least left with very low health.

However, if you don't roam, the early-game advantage of Lee Sin and LeBlanc will vanish.

Everything seemed to be stuck in a dead end. Just as Luo Fei was still struggling with the F4 pit, Leg Bro's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Dive the tower, I'm coming." On the minimap, Legge's Ekko had already quietly used his skills to circle around from the enemy jungle, and his current position was right in the bushes next to the first tower.

Even more fatally, right from this spot, he saw the factory manager's barrels placed at the river entrance and begin their return journey.

This is definitely a three-against-one situation.

"Nice, this position, Leg Bro!" Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise. This intricate maneuver was priceless. Having found a breakthrough, Xi Ye was so excited that his legs were trembling. However, considering that he had to remain calm and act well, he forcibly restrained the urge to shout it out.

Outside of the audio, the chat rooms in various live streams exploded with comments.

"Holy crap? Ekko's flanking maneuver was absolutely brilliant."

"Unbelievable, truly unexpected. I doubt anyone expected Ekko to leave his base and immediately flank the enemy jungle. Was that prediction directed by Mad Dog Fei?"

"It shouldn't be. Judging from his expression in the bottom left corner, he himself was confused. It was probably Leg Bro's spontaneous gank."

"Awesome, this is going to be a hit."

When the minion wave arrived, Xiye, controlling LeBlanc, immediately initiated the attack. With three players ganking mid, there was no need to worry about being outplayed or getting counter-killed. Ekko alone was enough to extinguish all of Pawn's hopes.

LeBlanc happily secured Lulu's kill, and the three WE players began attacking EDG's mid-lane tower. This time, they were even more ruthless; because it was three players pushing down the tower, the enemy's outer mid-lane tower lost two-thirds of its health.

Seeing that the momentum was back in their hands, the WE team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Many crucial moments in a game often stem from one or two small mistakes that snowball and eventually lead to a loss of control. At such times, it's essential for someone on the team to step up, disrupt the balance, and clear the way for the player to succeed.

Fortunately, they don't lack "that person" who is willing to stand up.

PY: This is a threesome.

Nobody knows strategy guides better than me.

Marvel Yasuo Online (a game)

Both are good reads. The first one has a good premise. The second one is the second one of the Marvel books that I recommended before, featuring a Marvel character beating up Iron Man; it's a significant improvement over that one.

Chapter 156, Section 163: Last Hope

A three-man tower dive completely disrupted EDG's strategy. Poppy was forced to use her teleport to the mid lane, as was Lulu, who had just respawned. The massive mid lane was now completely empty, with no one to defend the tower. If they hadn't used their teleport, the enemy team would have easily destroyed it. Even after using their teleport, the tower was already down to two-thirds of its health.

The tower was saved with great difficulty, but at a cost: Legge's Ekko had a teleport advantage, which was fatal.

In professional matches, the skills used are often not scary; what's scary is knowing that the opponent has that skill, but not knowing when they will choose to use it. In this situation, Meiko and Alpaca dared not press too hard, which ironically gave Mystic's Vayne a crucial breathing space.

Even more critically, the player who now dares not leave the tower has changed from LeBlanc to Lulu, and even Clearlove can only wander around in the mid lane, not daring to go too far. This means that Lee Sin has been liberated.

In the next five minutes, taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Fei used his Lee Sin to give everyone a preview of what it means to be a humanoid jungler.

Jungle monsters? Just grab a few along the way, the main thing is to gank everywhere.

If you can get a kill, do it. If you can't, force out summoner spells. If you can't force out summoner spells, then focus on reducing their health. Even if you can't reduce their health, you still have to show your face to prove you're nearby.

An extreme playstyle, a playstyle that almost abandons development.

The downside is that Gragas' level is starting to catch up, and even shows signs of overtaking. However, the upside is that it allowed WE to develop across all three lanes, and they also secured the second dragon.

No one understands Blind Monk better than him.

Lee Sin is a champion who is aggressive in the early game, plays passively in the mid-game, and becomes a super minion in the late game. The so-called "one-kick-to-the-game" scenario is ultimately a rare occurrence; most of the time, it's about gambling on early game tempo and then protecting the team in the late game. In professional matches, if Lee Sin fails to establish early game momentum, it's essentially a 4.5 vs. 5.5 situation.

As for why the other side has an extra 0.5?

Have you ever seen a Lee Sin kick a front-line or mid-lane fighter right in front of his own AD carry? That's the 0.5.

Under this reckless playstyle, EDG's traditional strategy was completely disrupted, and the entire game's tempo was dictated by the opposing mid and jungle. By the 20-minute mark, they were already four kills behind, with a 2000 gold deficit. This was WE's strongest point, and EDG simply didn't dare engage in team fights.

Seeing the unusual performance in the third game, countless viewers were completely bewildered.

"Holy crap... you can jungle like this?"

"It's possible, but it's a huge waste of farm, as Gragas is already a higher level than Lee Sin. And once the game drags on past 30 minutes, Lee Sin becomes pretty useless."

"Seriously, WE played way too aggressively this game. Is this the power of everyone playing their main champions?"

"I'm wondering if WE wins this game, will Clearlove pull out Evelynn for a live tutorial in the next game?"

Facing the unstoppable momentum of WE, EDG decisively chose to defend their mid tower, thus surrendering other resources. Sometimes, giving up some things is to gain more later. At least until Lucian and Lulu had their three core items, they had absolutely no intention of engaging in a head-on team fight.

At this point, the disadvantages of having everyone play their main team become apparent.

WE's lineup lacks strong initiation potential. Against Alistar, Lulu, Gragas, and Poppy, Lee Sin can't even initiate; he'll be instantly controlled if he Qs in. Even though Leg's Ekko is currently in his power spike, his tank items aren't complete yet. Facing the enemy's crowd control chain, recklessly charging in will likely result in being CC'd to death, unable to even use his ultimate.

The situation quickly became tense and deadlocked.

It was at this moment that Xiye quietly crept into the enemy's F4 pit. EDG originally had vision there, but Xiye deliberately held back a ruthless move, perfectly solving the problem.

Vision Modification: Places a vision unit, simultaneously disabling other vision units within its range.

The unrevamped Foresight enhancement was actually a pretty overpowered accessory at this point in time. However, its effect was so rarely used that few people noticed it, making it very unapplicable.

But for a sneaky hero like LeBlanc, it is especially valuable.

Luo Fei marked Lucian under the tower and skillfully used his Q skill. He didn't aim at the enemy, as he might miss; instead, he aimed at a minion coming from the lane, and the distance from Lucian wasn't too far.

The second Q was unleashed, and at the same time, Legge placed a W towards the landing point of the Q skill, activating the first stage of his E skill dash, seemingly preparing to enter the fray with Lee Sin. Seeing the sudden activation of the top and jungle duo, the EDG team instantly focused their attention.

Pawn kept using her Polymorph ability on the blind man who was flying towards her.

Luo Fei certainly wouldn't just kick like that; that would be suicide. He used W to ward and then left, executing a perfect 7-shaped dash, stopping just short of the enemy's skill range. On the other side, Ekko, who seemed about to engage, didn't move after his E animation.

It seems like he's just showing off his skills.

Is this... a scam?

After a moment of stunned silence, the five EDG players instantly realized their opportunity. To unleash their skills like this right in front of them—wasn't that just handing them a free team wipe?

Marking the Lee Sin who was now immobilized, Clearlove's Gragas decisively unleashed his ultimate. At this landing point, Lee Sin would undoubtedly fall perfectly into the arms of their five teammates. However, the instant his ultimate was cast, a graceful purple figure suddenly appeared in the center of their formation.

"It's nothing but a mirage."

RWQE Ignition

Without any fancy moves or greedy auto-attacks, LeBlanc seized the moment when the opponent's attention was most relaxed and decisively unleashed her combo. A 20-minute AD carry might be able to take away three bars of health from a mid laner in a second, but a 20-minute mid laner can kill an AD carry in a second.

Even Meiko was a little confused. His attention was focused on the enemy Ekko, but when he turned around, the AD carry next to him was gone.

Where's my AD? Have you guys seen my AD? Where did that huge AD I just put here go?

Pawn, whose attention was constantly focused on the Lee Sin who had been blasted back, didn't even have time to react before hearing the sound of his AD carry dying. In that moment of distraction, the blasted-back Lee Sin wasn't immediately put back into control.

"Huh? Was that a mistake?" Looking at himself, who hadn't been completely controlled, with some surprise, Luo Fei unleashed his ultimate kick. No need to adjust their positions; Alistar and Lulu were already in a straight line. A single kill resulted in two kills, followed by the long-awaited damage from the enemy's ADC, Mystic. Ultimately, with LeBlanc dying after her second entry into the fray being controlled, WE managed a one-for-three exchange, leaving only the jungler Gragas and the support Alistar to escape.

At the start of the 20-minute mark, WE successfully destroyed EDG's mid-lane tower.

"666666"

"Wow, that was some amazing teamwork! These guys are way too coordinated."

"It's absurd that they didn't keep up with Gragas's control. If Lee Sin hadn't kicked out, they wouldn't have ended up with a 1-for-3 trade."

"But why didn't they see the Enchantress?"

What everyone is wondering is why, even though there's a ward equipped with a cosmetic item, the EDG players were completely unprepared, just a wall away. Could it be that StarCraft is really free now?

"It's a visionary transformation; he added a visionary transformation!"

The doll immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up excitedly. He knew this one like the back of his hand! Don't ask him why, in low-elo games, yellow trinket wards are often forgotten to be placed, leading to teammates retaliating. But blue trinket wards are different; you can place them whenever you remember, and teammates won't blame you for not placing wards. It's truly a must-have trinket ward for even the most passive players.

As for the effect, it's just an excuse I made up for myself; in reality, this effect is generally not useful in ranked matches.

After pushing down the low-health mid-lane tower, WE's actions were even more baffling. Instead of invading or recalling to base for supplies, they immediately turned around and chose to start Baron Nashor, leaving the commentators completely bewildered.

"No... they're already starting Baron Nashor?"

"The barrel is still alive! Can the factory manager find out? It seems like he has!"

In the video, seeing the four WE players disappear after pushing down the tower, Clearlove immediately sensed something was wrong. However, out of caution, he used his Q skill to scout the bushes first before slowly making his way towards Baron Nashor.

Opening the dragon at this time is not a very wise choice.

First: The barrel is not dead yet.

Second: Lee Sin's level is two levels lower than Gragas'.

The level difference means that CJ's stats are not the same. For professional players, the stat difference of two levels will be magnified infinitely in their eyes. Therefore, normal junglers generally will not choose to start Baron at this time, as the risk is too great, especially for a lineup like WE's that lacks control. It is difficult to resist Gragas's entry to steal the Baron.

But is WE's jungler a normal jungler?

Obviously not.

A normal jungler wouldn't gank like that in the early game. In this jungle-centric meta, even with Lee Sin, it's rare to see the jungler sacrifice themselves in the early game.
