However, on the other side, the Snake team seemed to be having a tough time.

"Damn it, WE threw the game against us." Looking at WE's chaotic lineup on the screen, the entire Snake team felt incredibly frustrated, as they were currently ranked below OMG. If OMG won this round, their chances of advancing would be virtually nil, because their next opponent would be JD, who, based on current performance, weren't exactly a strong team.

Don't you see, Jin Gugu cried like a dog just because he won one game?

"Forget it, let's trust them. Based on my understanding of Goufei, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would mess around like that."

"I know...but..." For some reason, Crystal suddenly felt a pang of guilt and raised his hand to slap himself to clear his head, but was caught by the quick-thinking Saint Gun.

"Jakken-sensei, please don't do this, Jaken-sensei."

. . . . . .

On the other side, OMG was naturally quite happy, as they felt WE had essentially given away points. With Singed, Rammus, and Kassadin, WE had essentially squandered their early-game advantage.

They've got this game in the bag.

"As expected, WE is a good brother." Thinking of this victory, Leng Shao's face blossomed into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, which scared his teammates next to him.

"Um... Captain, you know what lineup the other team is like?"

"I don't know, but I sent a WeChat message last night asking them to go easy on me."

"Oh, this."

After glancing at the opposing team's lineup and then at Leng Shao, who was laughing even more gleefully in the middle, even the old thief's stoic face twitched slightly.

How terrifying.

Male ketones are actually right next to me!

From the outset, both sides immediately entered a game of strategy and competition.

For OMG, given WE's top, mid, and jungle composition, it would be unreasonable not to gank Rammus's jungle start. However, because they need to gank the enemy jungle, they need to determine whether the enemy started with red or blue buff.

"I think it's red, because they'll most likely guess that we're invading their jungle, so it's understandable that they would just give up the blue buff."

"Shall we go there now?"

"No need. We can just set up a camp at the river mouth in the bottom lane. The three of us can rush in around the same time. The Alchemist's help to kill the Dragon Turtle isn't fast either."

"clear."

After exchanging ideas on how to invade, OMG's top, mid, and jungle players, Ye, obediently lingered in the top lane river bush, trying to time their invasion of the enemy's upper jungle directly from the tri-bush.

This was originally a very good plan, however...

"You were right. I saw two in the lower triangular bush, but I don't know where the other three are."

"That's normal. Don't forget what I usually play in ranked games. They're all unpopular junglers. Do you think I don't know how they're going to target me in the early game? Are you kidding me?" Thanks to his extensive experience of being crushed in the Chinese server, Luo Fei led the bot lane duo to charge into the enemy jungle from the very beginning.

Of course, he chose to ward the F6 camp, because a typical player would either place a defensive ward at the jungle entrance or a trinket ward at the buff. Since he'd been there for so long and the enemy hadn't reacted, their trinket ward must be at the red buff.

"Then I'll head back first. Young Master Si, you can help him fight."

"OK."

Having confirmed that Rammus's early jungle clear was fine, Sivir chose to leave and return to her lane, mainly because the location was too far, and she would lose experience if she stayed in the guild. Bard, however, was different. Bard is a junk collector; picking up a few passives along the way was essentially equivalent to losing a few minions, so the impact was relatively minor.

In this game, his strategy was to farm F6, his own lower jungle, F6 in the upper jungle, and the river crab, and then farm whatever else he could find.

As for buffs?

If you give up the experience, then so be it. Anyway, F6 has more experience, so as long as you don't lose money overall, that's fine.

In this game, they definitely won't be able to make much of a splash in the early game. Their mid and bot lanes don't have any particularly useful crowd control, and their only remaining option is top lane, where Kha'Zix will likely gank frequently. So, they might as well just start farming. Adapting to the meta is the key to winning this game. Once he gets his Sunfire Cape, where in Summoner's Rift can't he go?

A few dozen seconds later, when the three OMG players successfully invaded the red team's red buff, they were completely disappointed. Forget about the jungler; they hadn't even managed to ambush the Singed after waiting for so long. Turning around, they found the enemy already clearing the minion wave on the lane, even dashing past the turret towards their second turret.

Without even looking, they were certain they had already seen through their scheme and were all happy.

"2333, TheShy is having fun now."

"Level 1 push lane, level 2 cut off creep wave, I'm a pro at this! [Bronze player ecstatic]"

"It's disgusting, and judging from OMG's position, I reckon he can hog three waves of dirty plays."

"Why did you have to predict the enemy's movements? If you had just started farming normally, WE would have collapsed."

There's not much to say, that's just how it is with fancy moves. If they succeed, it's a spectacular play; if they fail, it's a complete disaster. In this wave, they were practically wiped out. The mid and top laners each lost several minions and experience, and the jungler was forced to start with WE's red buff. He even had to leave immediately after taking the red buff.

The main reason is that the enemy mid laner will reach level 6 first, and if I linger and get flanked, then Leng Shao really won't be able to support him. Seeing the early game going so smoothly, even Da Congming couldn't help but chuckle and start teasing the enemy.

"You're obviously a fake fan; they haven't researched your niche fandom."

"Not really. If we hadn't picked a jungler like Rammus who has no chance of fighting back, we would have actually been ambushed by the enemy team this game. The strategy was pretty good."

"Ah... whatever, being a simp definitely doesn't bring happiness anyway."

"No, you're wrong. You can't feel the joy of being a simp."

Seeing that there was no fighting on any side and no fake battles were going to break out, everyone's attention was not too focused. Luo Fei started chatting as if it were a normal ranked match, but while farming jungle monsters, he kept marking the map to tell the others the approximate location of the enemy jungler.

"The person being fawned over can't predict whether they'll continue to be fawned over, leading to insecurity. Once they lose it, they'll break down. It's different if we're the ones being fawned over. Whether we fawn or not is entirely up to us! If we're in a good mood today, we'll fawn over them; if we're in a bad mood tomorrow, we'll just shut up and not fawn over them for the time being. It gives us a real sense of control!"

"So, that's how you managed to get Shuang-jie's hand by licking it?"

"No, that's not it. I'm not the one who takes the initiative much more often, after all, her tongue is much more powerful than mine."

"Oh."

"Um???"

Section 523, Chapter 51: The Core of the Suicide Scheme

Early on, the situation on the field had already exceeded World6's expectations.

Logically speaking, a lineup like WE's, which lacks any early-game rhythm, should have been easily crushed by him. However, because of their failed gank on the jungle at level one, they unleashed the most difficult enemy to deal with.

Alchemy on the Road.

First, it's important to clarify that many strategies that appear in ranked matches don't necessarily mean they can't be used in professional matches. On the contrary, because professional matches are always a step behind the game's meta, many of the strategies, team compositions, and item builds used in matches have already been proven in ranked games, only modified to fit the professional pace.

In short, the top lane suicide Alchemist playstyle is actually mature and viable.

Of course, it's not that professional teams can't counter this playstyle. After all, they have coaches, and even if the coach isn't very good, they can usually handle these familiar strategies. But the biggest problem is that when the opponent picks Alchemist, they have almost no room for maneuver, and that's the biggest issue.

Especially if you fail to suppress the opponent in the early stages, then things get really annoying.

If Alchemist cuts the minion wave between your top lane inhibitor tower and the second tower, do you go or not?

If you only take one kidney, you're basically destined to ingest exhaust fumes, and the kidney will also be at a loss, making it impossible to stop alchemy or gold mining.

However, if the jungler goes together, the enemy Rammus will be completely unleashed and can freely farm both halves of the bottom half of the jungle. Besides, killing the Alchemist wouldn't make much difference, since he'll respawn immediately after reviving.

What is the core strategy of the "suicide alchemy" build?

He's not afraid to die while farming all the minions, since he becomes less valuable the more he dies. By the time the enemy comes to gank him, his teammates have already made significant progress. And this is all while anticipating that he'll be caught and killed.

What if we can't catch them?

After reaching level 6, Alchemist's ultimate ability grants a host of buffs, allowing him to roam freely across the entire map, mining gold everywhere. He becomes incredibly tanky while dealing high damage, making him unbearable for the opposing team.

That's what makes this hero so disgusting.

You know how he plays, and you know the principles behind his development, but you just can't do anything about it. To put it bluntly, this strategy is based on a sense of helplessness.

In Season 3, Alchemist was very strong because his passive ability converts mana into health, meaning that you gain more health per level than other heroes. Combined with Rod of Ages as your first item, your ultimate, and Ghost, you can be both tanky and deal high damage, and you can also gank.

However, in Season 5, Singed's passive changed, now granting a speed boost when close to enemies and allies. Simultaneously, his W's ground-binding ability prevents enemies from using movement skills. This made carrying enemies seem easier, but his laning ability was practically nonexistent. This led to the emergence of "suicide Singed" and "lane-breaking Singed" builds, all because his laning phase was so weak that Rod of Ages became meaningless, and Rylai's Crystal Scepter became the preferred choice. Furthermore, the introduction of Mejai's Soulstealer ensured sustain, leading to the current "suicide Singed" build.

"World6, you'll help me, right?" Looking at the endless stream of minions coming from the other side, and then at the Alchemist wandering around frantically in front of his own high ground tower, Sunset had a bit of a headache.

"Ahem, well, when Heaven is about to entrust a great task to someone, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his actions, so as to strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities."

Speak like a human.

"The bushes in the upper jungle are a bit tough this game, I'll go check out the lower jungle."

. . . . . .

Although he really wanted to help his top laner, if he went to deal with the Alchemist at this point, he would lose out in the early game jungle. Besides, even if he was willing to go, Xiyang would have to be willing to give up the endless minion waves coming to the tower.

There's nothing we can do but accept defeat.

As he pondered, Xiyang turned his attention to the mid lane. Since he couldn't gank the top lane and Sivir had her shield in the bot lane, his focus naturally shifted to the mid lane. Luckily, Kassadin was in the mid lane; if he seized the opportunity to gank, a flash and a double kill shouldn't be a problem.

Just as he was thinking this, a golden teleportation portal suddenly appeared on the peaceful riverbank in the middle lane. As the portal opened, a golden hero instantly appeared in front of Leng Shao.

Wow~ The Golden Legend!

As soon as Bard arrived, he immediately used Exhaust followed by a passive auto-attack, a small combo that left Taliyah dumbfounded.

Huh... what is that?

You're so weak, and you just handed it over like that?

Are you here to gank, or are you here to be a free kill?

Kassadin + Bard, with no hard crowd control, there's simply no way to deal with them. Just as Leng Shao was calming down and preparing to retreat, the roar of a sports car suddenly rang out. A yellow streak of light, accompanied by a very nice turn and acceleration, rushed towards Leng Shao.

The seventh apostle Andersen, see above!

"Holy crap, do you have to target me like this?"

Leng Shao was stunned. He quickly used his Flash to run towards the tower, but it was too late. Anton, already accelerated, quickly reached the critical distance using his movement speed.

"Shh!"

He staged an accident, mocked the victim, lay down on the ground, and extorted money all in one smooth motion.

Today, Turtle is going to stick to you. He won't let you leave until you give him 400 points for first blood.

WE's second strategic move, the jungler and support ganking together, has been successfully initiated!

Just like the current choice, Redmi did consider Si Shao's suggestion and gave him Bard. Anyway, Sivir + Bard's lane pushing ability is definitely not bad, and their poke ability is also decent. As long as you are willing to spend mana, you can easily control the lane.

That's enough.

By having Da Congming play as a support in the bottom lane, and Si Shao picking Bard and running wildly to the mid lane, together with Luo Fei and Xi Ye, they completely shut down Leng Shao, and OMG's rhythm crumbled on its own.

You think you're so great, Young Master Leng?

I'm sending a division to take you down. You try being arrogant again.
