Luo Fei never imagined that he would one day be so pathetic as to have to gamble on the extent of a player's mistakes.

There's no way around it; 80% of the top laners have Elise there, and with Poppy dying twice, they simply can't win a 2v2. As for mid lane? Quinn never even considered fighting them; it's already a miracle that Xiye can keep him in the mid lane.

He only resorts to arresting someone when he has absolutely no other choice.

Perhaps he could farm the jungle and win through team fights? But given his personality, he clearly wouldn't want to do that. When facing a jungler of similar level, no one wants to be inferior to their opponent.

Young people are naturally inclined to compare themselves to others.

The Sivir and Morgana duo, this seemingly weak but actually effective lane control, kept the wave safely within a small area in front of the tower, farming minions peacefully. Braum was completely helpless against Morgana's shield and Sivir's E. His few tentative Q attempts only resulted in giving Sivir mana, and gradually, he lost all desire to engage.

But even with such a difficult combination, their own jungler actually said they wanted to gank bot lane?

Could it be that he's lost his mind?

"Egg, trick a Wheel Mom out of her E."

"Oh, that's easy." Without even needing to predict, Eggman casually tossed out a Q with Braum, and the enemy Sivir ran right into it. Controlling the wave is one thing, but without mana, Sivir is impossible to control when pushed under the tower. Braum's Q was a godsend for Sivir; at least she had the mana for her next skill.

As Sivir used her E skill, Luo Fei's gaze was also fixed on the two people under the tower.

A double kill? That's unrealistic; these two are really difficult to deal with.

However, if it's just about killing one person, there seems to be some room for maneuver.

At this moment, Gragas circled around from the enemy jungle and stood silently in the bush next to the bottom tower, watching the enemy bot lane duo. Because they had been constantly pressured in the early game, the enemy bot lane hadn't recalled to base, and at this point, their trinket wards were still on cooldown, leaving them without vision.

Seizing an opportunity, Luo Fei decisively ran out of the bushes and unleashed his first ultimate move.

"Oh!"

Positioning Morgana and Sivir almost touching, Gragas' ultimate exploded instantly behind them. One of them would inevitably be blasted off their tower; as long as he didn't hold back his abilities, killing Morgana shouldn't be a problem.

Just as they were thinking this, the one who was blown away by the ultimate was not Morgana as expected, but the ADC Sivir!

???

What the heck? Although they didn't know what was going on, Braum, Gragas, and Lucian reflexively threw all their damage at Sivir who flew out. The control chain of Lucian and Braum in the early game was so exaggerated that it instantly triggered Braum's passive and stunned her. Then, with Gragas' E, Sivir used her DF combo and ultimately died under the tower.

"666666"

"I'm dumbfounded. Morgana actually gave herself the shield?"

"As expected of Brother Gai, he knows very well that he is the one with the most distinguished status in the entire team."

"To be honest, this support is absolutely outrageous."

The replay showed that the instant the barrel was thrown, Morgana instantly shielded herself. You could say he's bad, his hand speed is pretty fast, but his entire play was full of flaws.

After a successful kill in the bottom lane, Luo Fei quickly called his brother-in-law and Dan Zong to take the dragon. In the early game, they were on the defensive, and their rhythm depended entirely on whether their ultimate was off cooldown. They had to take all the map resources they could, otherwise they would have a hard time in the mid-game.

As for the enchantress?

Quinn stated that she activates her W as soon as LeBlanc disappears, and with the help of control wards and trinket wards on the map, LeBlanc can't really leave to roam. This is also what makes Quinn strong in the mid lane: I can gank faster than you while also preventing your ganks, which is incredibly annoying.

Just as he was pondering his next move, Condi once again patronized Xiye in the mid lane. Perhaps it was the socialite skin of LeBlanc that stimulated Condi's desire for prostitution; Condi liked to patronize LeBlanc's business in the mid lane whenever he had the chance, and this time, he finally caught him red-handed.

A well-timed E skill hit Xiye's LeBlanc perfectly. Combined with Quinn's burst damage, even a LeBlanc with her clone and mobility skills succumbed to Condi's gank. Being the son of a womanizer, he's got a real knack for picking on women; LeBlanc's clone couldn't fool him at all, giving the opponent no chance to shine.

With the death of the Demoness, Luo Fei's heart sank even further.

If the mid laner dies, the spider will definitely invade his jungle, making it even harder for him to farm.

After securing the dragon, Luo Fei's Gragas was chased all over the map by the Spider. Without his ultimate, the two-headed Spider could easily bully him. Adding to this, his mid-laner's rotation speed was extremely fast, and for a time, the entire jungle turned into a game of hide-and-seek and a cat-and-mouse battle, which amused everyone.

"2333 You've finally met your match."

"I'm dying of laughter. Does the other side have some personal grudge against Mad Dog Fei? They're chasing Mad Dog Fei like crazy."

"Putting everything else aside, this jungler will definitely be in high demand next season."

"Conti was not bad to begin with, he was just dragged down by his teammates."

Regarding the Spider's unusual behavior, it's one thing to take advantage of Gragas's weakness when he doesn't have his ultimate, but it's another to have some selfish motives involved. Making a good impression, so that even if the game is lost, it's clear it wasn't his fault, is already a success for him.

WE, having been caught out by several consecutive mistakes, are now playing an excessively cautious game. Condi isn't unwilling to continue leading the charge, but the opponent's composure is too much for him to handle; they simply don't have any openings. Many of the weaknesses in the match stem from the opponent's mistakes, but most arise from pressure applied by teammates.

However, it's clear that his teammates are almost incapable of putting pressure on the opposing team.

By the time both sides had finished destroying the outer turrets on the top and bottom lanes, the time had reached 20 minutes. Thanks to Condi's early game tempo, M3 had a rare 1200 gold lead, with most of it concentrated on him.

quickly,

Both sides are now focused on the second dragon.

As the team with the advantage, M3 immediately took the initiative to start the dragon. With Nautilus tanking in front and Morgana providing protection, M3 had no fear of the enemy. Seeing the enemy's aggressive approach, Legge unleashed his ultimate to try and knock up the enemy jungler, but it was blocked by a shield from Morgana and Sivir.

Seeing that all her survival skills had been used, Xiye's LeBlanc decisively entered the fray and stole a kill, instantly evaporating a large portion of Sivir's health.

But it didn't kill instantly.

Team fights were forced to begin due to LeBlanc's actions and Poppy's aggressive play.

Unlike the commotion outside the Dragon Pit, Condi's focus was entirely on the small dragon in front of him. If he wasn't mistaken, the barrel opposite him hadn't appeared near the Dragon Pit at all from beginning to end.

So it's easy to guess: he's probably in a blind spot diagonally above the dragon pit, ready to steal the dragon at any moment.

This news both worried and excited him.

For a jungler, losing a fight with Smite is a disgrace. He cares more about this duel than the team fights that follow. Seeing the dragon reach 1000 health, Gragas naturally used his E to jump down from the dragon pit.

Ultimate Ability: Exploding Barrels.

flash!

At the crucial moment, Condi no longer cared about where Gragas' ultimate would land; he was determined to get the dragon if he used Flash first.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Two smite spells landed one after the other, followed by a dragon's mournful cry, and the kill notification came from WE's Killer.

Xiao Long, you got it!

The moment the dragon was stolen, Condi was completely stunned, but the bad news didn't stop there. The ultimate from Gragas' E... its landing point... didn't seem to be where he expected it to be before his flash.

Rather, it was the battlefield behind him!

Unlike Condi's bewildered expression, Luo Fei, sitting in WE's seat, finally revealed his bright smile.

"Excuse me."

"I want it all!"

Chapter 127, Section 134: A Man Is a Boy Until He Dies

The worst thing that ever happened to Conti was ultimately his turn.

Condi was incredibly frustrated at this moment. M3's weaknesses were too obvious, especially after already playing a game against the opponent. M3's biggest weakness was laid bare. It wasn't that the players' average level was low, nor that they lacked tactical foundation, but rather that this team lacked communication from beginning to end and simply couldn't execute any major coordinated plays.

From countless microphones from later generations, one can sense that the voice communication between frequently communicating teams was as noisy as a vegetable market. Although it seemed impossible to hear whose voice was saying what, they were indeed communicating.

On the field, one person can only remember so much information, but when five people share information they can see, they become all-knowing and all-powerful. WE can do this because Mystic and Zero can communicate normally without problems, but M3 can't. The current M3 has two Korean players who don't speak Chinese, a support player who's terrible at the game, and their only player who can communicate normally, the top laner, is like a random solo queue top laner—completely unreliable.

Therefore, Condi was essentially fighting alone. This is why failing to establish an economic advantage during the laning phase is often enough to signal a loss, because any mistake in the late game can lead to a team wipe. With their communication style, how could they possibly drag the game into the late game?

In a dragon fight, M3 suffered a 0-for-3 exchange, and coupled with their failure to secure the dragon, their early advantage was completely squandered.

"666, Ma Fei is awesome!"

"Hey, upstairs, you've got the wrong flavor. This is Mad Dog Flying."

"But this was really cool. He stole the dragon while fighting the team, and that ultimate left the enemy Sivir dumbfounded."

"As expected of the son of the dragon, he's got something."

After a very successful team fight, WE returned to base to regroup and then accelerated their pace. In the current situation, continuing to lane or split push is too risky, as Elise and Quinn can easily exploit opportunities. Their only option is to group up, invade, and squeeze the opponent's farming space.

As for your suggestion about grouping up to push lanes?

Stop kidding me. Sivir's wave clear ability is no joke. Morgana gives Sivir a W, then Sivir throws in a QW combo, and a whole wave is cleared without a fight. They can't even push in. And Morgana's presence completely eliminates any chance of you trying to engage. Even though Gai is bad, he doesn't make such big mistakes every time.

The two sides immediately began fighting around the jungle. On one side, Elise Quinn seized an opportunity to engage on a lone enemy, while on the other side, Gragas and LeBlanc countered with a strong engage and were pushed back. The mid and jungle players from both sides displayed their skills and wits in the jungle, but a closer look would reveal that it was entirely a battle of wits between the two junglers.

"Such a strong jungler, did the other team eat shit and seal him away for so long?" Even Leg Bro couldn't help but exclaim this while playing. As a top laner who had never played a top laner before, he knew all too well the importance of the jungler, and moreover, the personality of many junglers would affect his own jungle style and playstyle.

Even when playing blindfolded, you get a chance to go up and perform a spinning kick.

If you hand it over to the factory manager, he might only start if you're 70% sure he can get it started.

If you give it to Xiangguo, he might only need 30% of it.

However, so far, the feeling he got from the opposing jungler is that they're not that different from players like Xiangguo. They're aggressive, flashy, and extremely confident. Leg Bro's death this time was because the enemy's vision had just disappeared and he was caught off guard when the enemy decisively predicted and used Flash-E to control him.

This kind of operation, if successful, is an amazing feat.

But if you make a mistake, you'll be posted on Tieba and framed.

Of course, in the minds of the opposing five players, WE's jungler was also a madman. Given the opportunity, he would unleash his ultimate without hesitation. Gai managed to defend once or twice, but not a third time, and it was on the third attempt that Gragas successfully initiated a team fight.

Nearly ten minutes passed, and WE still maintained a 1500 gold advantage. Seeing that they couldn't push the minion wave forward, Luo Fei had no choice but to take a risk.

"Let's find a chance to steal the dragon, otherwise we won't be able to push it up at all."

"Are you sure? If we get caught stealing the dragon, we might not win the fight." This suggestion was indeed a bit risky. If the other side found out, they would definitely be in deep trouble with Sivir's speed boost.

"Let's fight. The longer it drags on, the less useful Lucian will be, and the greater the threat Sivir will pose. It will be really difficult to fight then."

After a brief exchange, the WE players immediately started acting out their scenarios. The five of them launched a strong push, and while they couldn't break through, they continued to pretend to ward the jungle. They left LeBlanc and Braum behind to intimidate the enemy while the rest of them rushed towards Baron Nashor.

Although the deception won't last long, it's better to keep it going for as long as possible, in case it's enough time to steal it.

WE's movements quickly caught the commentators' attention. Stealing Baron Nashor at just over 20 minutes was undoubtedly a risky move, but not entirely incomprehensible. (PS: Back in Season 6, Baron Nashor at 20 minutes didn't deal much damage, and its health was decent enough to be easy to take down.)

"Is WE being this decisive? Do they think they can steal it?"

"Looks promising. WE's dragon-slaying speed isn't too slow. It just depends on when M3 reacts."

"Huh? It seems like they've spotted something? Condi gave a signal, and M3 is heading this way."

"Is it too late? WE has already played half of the game."

Condi, being the first to react and the fastest runner, was already close to his red buff. Although it was only one game, Condi truly experienced what it meant to be in direct competition. The opposing jungler was the same type of player as him, and since they were the same type, many things became much easier to understand.

What if you can't push it up? Steal the dragon!
