After hearing Xi Ye's reply, Luo Fei opened the tab and took a look. In just one glance, he saw a blue item in Ekko's inventory that stood out conspicuously.

What the hell!

"Doran's Ring with Ghost Cloak? Pure jerky. Like Li? Brother Tiger!" Luo Fei was shocked. He had traveled back four years and could see General Tiger's classic three-piece starting move again. The power of the Slime Monster was terrifying.

"Indeed, this build is really haphazard, but who is Tiger Bro?" Xi Ye was helpless. The enemy Ekko was not only going for a full tank build, but also had Grasp of the Undying rune. He was so cowardly that Xi Ye wouldn't be surprised if you told him he was using all magic resistance runes.

"Oh, no one, just someone who really likes you."

"???"

Seeing the opponent's build, he knew that Xiye was basically doomed in the laning phase. In this version, Ekko doesn't really need any damage items in the early game against Azir. His three-hit combo is already incredibly painful. He can just E in and tank the combo with EQA, and the three-hit combo will take away three-fifths of Azir's health. Plus, if Azir rushes tank items, he can't do any damage in the early game. Xiye will probably be locked in lane for good.

This build is incredibly tanky and deals high damage at the same time. Plus, with the enemy team possessed by Tiger General, the mid lane is doomed in the early game! Luo Fei glanced at Wangzai next door with sympathy and plunged into the enemy jungle.

Better to die than to die myself. You can develop slowly on your own; let him have the advantage.

Thanks to Nidalee's high mobility, he now has two more jungle camps than the enemy Graves, which is equivalent to half an experience bar difference. While this might not be enough for him to solo kill the enemy jungler, it can certainly annoy them. Especially since he got his green jungle item first.

The Graves jungler learned a trick from his good brother, and the Nidalee jungler also learned a trick from Bingfan.

What's the essence of playing Nidalee? It's about being annoying, the kind of annoying that makes the opponent feel like they can't kill you.

So what's the best way to make someone disgusting?

Of course, it's when the enemy team arrives just in time to see their jungle monsters have been completely stolen. This humiliation of being caught red-handed is like putting a green crown on the jungler's head.

He also casually added, "You will eventually be crowned king."

puff~

Chapter 135, Section 142: This is... this is doujinshi plot!

It has to be said that Crisis was truly disgusted. His jungle route was completely predicted by the enemy. Two times, he had just entered the jungle when he saw the enemy jungler had just finished farming and was putting on his pants, leaving him nothing, not even a small monster. It was obvious that he was a pro at freeloading.

Furthermore, without the red buff, Graves can't hold the opponent at all. The little damage he deals while chasing is negligible; a single heal will easily recover. He's a strong healer in this patch, with a solid 36D.

Relying on the economic advantage accumulated from farming jungle camps, and taking advantage of the fact that the enemy Graves was not yet level 6, Luo Fei directly called his teammates to carry out a classic four-man gank on the mid lane. Xi Ye even used his skillful chicken drift + flash to push Ekko to the tower, but unfortunately Ekko's ultimate + flash combo was too outrageous, and in the end, they still failed to get the kill.

"666666"

"Ekko is still an outrageous champion in this patch, why isn't he banned anymore?"

"Because WE wants to pick Poppy. If you ban Ekko, you ban Poppy too. Then all sorts of champions like Rumble, Kennen, and Lissandra will be out there. Not only can Leg Bro not use these champions as well as the enemy top laner, but the enemy also has the first pick priority."

"Huh? Wait, this wave?"

One second the onlookers were discussing the gossip, the next they were completely captivated by Graves' movements. The level 6 Graves quietly circled around from behind the top lane into the bushes, and it was obvious that WE had no vision of him.

Crisis is known for his aggressive jungling style, and being constantly harassed by the enemy jungler in the early game must have been incredibly frustrating. Fortunately, both the jungler and AD reached level 6 at the same time, creating their opportunity.

The lane where the two opposing duos are positioned is a veritable battlefield. Whether it's the struggle between the heroes on both sides or the debate over their identities, it's undoubtedly captivating.

Look at Braum fighting the Minotaur, that's a classic battle between a pure love warrior and a Minotaur.

Watching Ashe versus Lucian, isn't that like a wife whose man is only good for five seconds, facing off against Lucian, the victim whose wife was stolen away by Thresh?

Finally, take a look at Graves' backstory: a free-spirited wanderer of the martial arts world. Isn't this the perfect template for a blond guy?

I don't need to elaborate on how exciting this whole drama was; those who know, know. As for how you all felt, that depends on which role you identified with. (PS: That guy in the recent viral drama, the one where the male lead, using the skills of a normal, blond guy, cheated on his boyfriend—that was truly amazing.)

Seeing his jungler in position, AD carry Gu Yue activated Ashe's ultimate, instantly immobilizing Lucian. "Too far to aim, and too close to miss?" Gu Yue, who had just seen the civility slogans in the restroom before the match, even took a small step forward before firing, after all, "a small step forward, a giant leap for civilization"—he certainly acted with a bit of culture.

Of course, he only shot at such close range. Whether it was truly for the sake of civilization, or whether he was simply too weak to shoot accurately from a distance, is another matter entirely. In any case, Lucian was frozen in place this time.

Seeing Lucian get caught in the trap, Graves immediately unleashed a three-hit combo from the bush. However, Ashe's ultimate was too close, the stun duration wasn't long enough, and Graves struggled to trigger Braum's passive. With three stacks of Braum's passive, Lucian woke up and immediately used his E skill + D/F combo to create distance, then turned around and unleashed a full combo of Divine Rapier. As for Alistar, who was still behind? After activating his ultimate, Alistar's Will, he tanked his way back to his tower with 70% damage reduction.

There's nothing we can do. Ashe has virtually no damage output in the early game, and being a "wife" (a term used to describe a woman who is easily defeated), she can't even scratch Alistar. As for Graves, who has some damage potential, he just unleashed his entire combo on his nemesis, Lucian. And the only pure-hearted warrior who consistently deals damage, Braum, is also failing miserably.

Therefore, it turns out that the pure love warrior can only control the minotaur and kill him with one strike – pure wishful thinking.

See, they can't break through the defense at all. Watching the match from the sidelines, Shuangjie couldn't help but give a silent thumbs up when she saw WE hadn't died yet.

Conversely, while ganking top lane, Ryze in the bottom lane was also ganked by three WE players. With no mobility, no crowd control, and no damage output in the early game, Ryze was completely dominated and beaten under the tower by Luo Fei and his two teammates. Young WE players! Putting aside the fact that LPL loves LCK top laners who come to China, your "Thunder King" pick alone deserves to be constantly targeted. As a player from 16, I hate that "Thunder King" the most.

After a series of ganks that resulted in a small advantage for WE, WE pulled off a ruthless move against their opponents. Their bot lane duo returned to base and switched back to the bottom lane, forcibly accelerating the game and catching EPA completely off guard. WE even managed to take down EPA's first tower first.

Seeing this lane change, the two commentators started their own explanations again, but this one was a little easier to understand; Wawa wasn't just making things up.

"WE made some unusual decisions this time, forcibly switching lanes and pushing towers to speed things up, but WE should have secured this dragon."

"That was the right move. Laning against Ashe and Braum after level 6 is too dangerous. If they waited for Ashe's ultimate to recharge, Lucian without summoner spells might be done for." Miller highly praised WE's decision in this lane swap, mainly because the timing was excellent. "I'll push the tower first and then go to another lane. In that time difference, where will Ryze go?"

Go to the bottom lane. Before there's a tower, it's a duo threat to tower dive, but after the tower is gone, you'll have to worry about getting ganked.

If you switch back to top lane, your bot lane duo will have to give up the outer turret gold to Ryze, otherwise he'll fall behind. But if you choose to give it up, your bot lane duo will lose out.

The time difference strategy in operations is truly amazing.

EPA had no choice but to chip away at the tower's health until it was almost empty, then hand it over to their own top laner. After all, if Ryze fell behind, they would have no damage output in the mid-game, and Ekko would build tank items first.

In the following minutes, both sides instantly switched from ranked mode to operational mode. It wasn't until several minutes later that EPA, who had been under constant pressure, finally found an opportunity.

It's the same familiar top lane, the same familiar strategy of using vision to enter the bushes, but this time, it's Ryze and Graves trying to gank Poppy. In the current version of Ryze, even if he starts with W, his peak combo can only unleash a maximum of five abilities, meaning he can only use W twice at most.

At the start of the 14-minute mark, Ryze had a mix of Rod of Ages components and Tear of the Goddess. Graves had a completed jungle item. While their damage output wasn't bad, they were still a bit lacking against Poppy, who had a Spectral Cloak, Boots of Swiftness, and a bunch of other items.

Despite taking damage, he used an EQA combo on Graves to create distance and prevent Ryze from landing a third root when his cooldown was up. Legge activated W, grabbed a passive shield, and started escaping. At this point, the truly overpowered item from Season 6 became apparent: Boots of Swiftness.

After this version of the Boots of Swiftness was released, for some reason, the movement speed became incredibly fast, almost like being cheated. It was precisely because of this increased movement speed that Leg Bro managed to hold out until Luo Fei and Nidalee arrived.

"Don't panic, son, Dad's here!" With that, E skill: A Great Man with Big Milk! is activated.

A single 36D attack brought Poppy back from the brink of death. It was precisely because of this small amount of health that Legge was able to use a small charged attack to successfully knock the pursuing Graves and Ryze back a short distance, allowing them to escape.

A desperate escape instantly drew cheers from the crowd inside the stadium.

Not finished yet.

You got outplayed by Leg Bro, so now it's my turn. Because of the previous lane swap, the enemy bot lane duo, Ashe and Braum, are still pushing the bottom tower. At most, they can only throw out a symbolic support ultimate that's unlikely to hit. But WE's bot lane duo are near the mid lane, and they rushed up when the fight started, and they've successfully flanked us.

With Luo Fei sacrificing his own life in a desperate move, Nidalee successfully held off EPA's Graves and Ryze duo. A one-for-two trade ensued, and WE capitalized, securing the Rift Herald and the second top turret.

The momentum of victory is gradually becoming apparent.

PY: "Nobody knows transformation better than me!"

It's from a fellow member of the group; I haven't read it yet. Could you guys check it out for me? Apparently, it's just a copycat product. We're all poor writing girls, so please don't get too impatient while reading.

Section 143, Chapter 136: People Cannot Be Generalized

The direct consequence of EPA losing their turrets is that their own jungle vision has been further eroded. Nidalee already had a green jungle item and Graves had a red jungle item, putting them at a significant vision disadvantage. Coupled with several advantageous plays, Nidalee repeatedly punished EPA's own jungle wolf spirits, forcing them to be extremely cautious even when entering their own jungle.

Furthermore, with vision lost in the jungle, the team's carries will have very few resources to farm. The safest minion waves have to be given to Ashe, the slightly more dangerous minion waves and the F4 camps to the mid laner, and the red and blue buffs and Froakie are constantly being stolen by Nidalee. So where is Graves supposed to farm?

Crisis isn't the team's shot-caller, nor is he their only carry, so he wouldn't do anything to steal his teammates' resources. He can only sadly farm his WeChat steps in the jungle, acting as a mobile ward.

This situation only eased when WE felt it was time to start pushing mid. At this point, although EPA's second top tower had been destroyed, their first mid tower was still intact, so even if they were being pressured badly, they still had room to grow.

Since the inception of League of Legends, the mid-lane turret has held a crucial strategic position, second only to the Nexus and Baron Nashor. Losing the mid-lane turret effectively locks the team into their high ground, making them vulnerable to being dragged out and killed. After some discussion, EPA also agreed that the mid-lane turret was not to be conceded.

"Let's find an opportunity to engage; dragging this out is just a slow death." Gongzi was also helpless. Who could have imagined that the team, which was so aggressive just ten minutes ago, would suddenly switch to a more strategic approach, completely overwhelming them. Although Zhua Tui Ge's mistake gave away a lot of kills, the key moment for their comeback was that lane swap, which completely destroyed them.

"Let me do it, watch my moves."

At this point, the rhythm knew it was time for him to step up. Actually, Ashe should have been the initiator at this moment, but unfortunately, her two ultimate abilities had been ineffective in the past few minutes, so they simply stopped relying on her.

Calming down, the rhythm began to pay attention to WE's positioning.

In the past two years (S6 and S7), the LPL has not lacked more than just AD carries and mid laners; it also has a strong support player. Many supports have actually showcased their talents during these two years, but most of them didn't make it to the LPL. Of the few who did, they didn't have enough time to adapt and didn't have the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. And then there are the extremely rare cases where their teams' performance was simply poor, with the poor team results overshadowing their individual abilities.

During this period in the LPL, newcomers were simply thrown into a game or two and played aggressively, even those who had barely played any scrims. If they performed well, they stayed; if they didn't, they were fired. Because of this, the LPL actually buried a lot of talent.

As a support player, you definitely need to have a couple of signature moves. In terms of tempo control, Thresh and Braum are the top two. He's arguably among the top three supports in the LPL when it comes to Braum.

Seizing the opportunity, Braum immediately flashed and used his ultimate to initiate the team fight, successfully knocking up Azir the moment he tried to use his abilities to retreat. With no other options, the AD carry was protected by Alistar, and the top laner and jungler were harassing from the sidelines; only Azir seemed the easiest target, so he decisively went in.

The moment Xiye was knocked into the air, Gongzi immediately flashed and used his W to immobilize him, looking like he had Xiye completely under his control. Seeing this, the WE team decisively chose to sell out and all ran away.

What if we don't kite them? Are we going to fight 4v5? Don't be ridiculous, this isn't Season 8 or Season 9. It's really hard to win when you're down a player, especially if they're the carry.

"A Greek retreat"

"How did Braum manage to get that shot? How come Xiye is doing so well this season?"

"He's alright, there are just a lot of amazing mid laners in the LPL this year, but it's really ridiculous that he got caught out like that."

"This support player is actually quite good."

The fact that Azir was engaged on this wave didn't actually cause much damage to WE; it just meant they couldn't push forward this wave. With less than 20 minutes played and neither Baron nor Dragon respawning, they could accept that.

The only one who couldn't accept it was Xiye himself.

"Damn it, they're targeting me again. Why do these people who play Azir always seem to target me?" Xi Ye exclaimed, feeling annoyed. Although Azir wasn't a great fit for him, he had at least practiced playing him. Many people change their playstyle when playing different types of heroes.

For example, many people usually play aggressively with assassins and warriors in games, but if you give them a Nasus, they'll instinctively start playing cautiously and enduring pressure in the early game, even becoming one with the turret. Xiye is like that now; knowing his skill level isn't high, he plays extremely carefully.

Even so, he was still targeted by the opposing team.

"2333, who told you to play Golden Crispy Chicken? Every time you die, they gain two and a half minutes of development time. If I were you, I would have killed you too."

"Damn it, are they all bullying me? Fortune changes every thirty years, never underestimate a young man's potential. As for me, I only need thirty minutes. Once I'm out here, I'll make those bastards on the other side pregnant, or I'll swear I'll never believe I'm not ready to face them!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize you had such a temper, young man. Good luck."

I can't be bothered with him at all; he's just talking nonsense. A 30-minute professional Azir does have the ability to dominate the game, but it also depends on whose Azir it is! Camille with three items can still put pressure on the split push, but look at New's Camille? He practically has "I want to change teammates" written all over his face.

So, what hero you play and what style you use ultimately depends on the player.

Luo Fei didn't intend to give the opponent too many opportunities. Although this silly Azir's development was average, he and Leg Bro were doing well. If Leg Bro could tank and he could deal damage, then team fights were possible.

Another wave of pushes ensued, and this time Braum didn't have Flash, allowing WE to take down EPA's outer turret. Glancing at the timer on the screen—just over 23 minutes—Luo Fei immediately hatched a crooked plan.

"Hey, Leg Bro."

"what."

"Come on, let's go steal the dragon."

"Clam?"
