Oh no! My mid-lane teammate got killed, and the jungler is taking the dragon in the bottom half of the map. Isn't the top half of the map in danger?

With her eyes glued to the minimap, Sansan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Vi disappear towards the lower half of the map.

It's good that they're not going to push the top lane; now we'll see if they give up the dragon in the bottom half of the map.

Aphelios deliberately left the Firefly, and he can still quickly clear the lane and support the jungle. If Vi and Shaco both put pressure on the bottom lane, the dragon may be stolen, and a battle may break out in the river.

"Don't come any closer, I should be able to use Q-punch to escape." Tianxuan signaled for retreat.

As she used Smite to kill the dragon, she noticed Vi appearing outside the dragon pit. Without thinking, she used W to escape over the wall.

Although the mid laner was caught and killed, getting the first dragon wasn't too bad, and Vi even made a wasted trip.

Keep in mind that there are basically no resources left in the lower half of the map, so it would be a waste of time for Vi to wander around.

It's a pity that there weren't enough wards in the jungle, which gave Vi the opportunity to sneak into the F6 pit and ambush, otherwise Ye Ziyue wouldn't have died.

"Aphelios is about to switch weapons. We can gain lane control and initiate an attack. Pressuring for two minutes shouldn't be a problem. Xuan Shen will then focus on us."

"Okay, is it alright to go up there and take down the Gragas?"

"No problem, they don't put any pressure on me. They're probably the kind of place that's more of a mafia-style operation... Oh my god—"

Before Sansan could finish her sentence, she shuddered, startled by the clown who suddenly appeared behind her.

This is so annoying, is this how you target people? (Nine)

Because of her dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to use her W skill to avoid being attacked by the clown, who wouldn't even let her get a single hit. (Dirty/Inappropriate)

The clown's health was less than half; if I weren't below level 6, I would definitely have given him a good beating.

Sansan thought that dodging the Joker's attack would make him back down, but to her surprise, the Joker helped the Gragas push the lane and then pushed towards the tower, looking like he didn't want to make things easy for her.

Huh? Qun

The enemy's top and mid laners are still pushing forward, and the minions under the tower don't dare to attack them at all.

Sansan's brows were furrowed, and her expression was one of great distress.

"These two are poisonous!"

She was just a... a... harmless little vampire, why was the other person so disgusting?

What's the difference between this and the Seven Injury Fist? What exactly is Su Mu playing at? She doesn't want the mid lane... okay, she really doesn't want it.

I almost forgot that Su Mu had bought a support item; too many last hits will result in a penalty.

Now, going up to the A tower to take the plating can trigger support items, which seems to be better than staying in the mid lane, and you can also really annoy yourself.

The Gragas is in good condition, but he currently has no Blood Pool and low health. If he goes forward to take a hit, he will most likely be tower-dived and killed.

Unfortunately, their jungler is focusing their efforts on the bottom lane, and their mid laner has just been killed, leaving them with no one to help.

Watching helplessly as a wave of minions was wiped out by the defensive tower, Sansan felt like her head was spinning.

Only after the clown left and his blood pool was almost fully healed did he dare to step forward to prepare to eat the replenished soldiers.

"Indians would better retreat. There's nothing in Vi's lower half of the map, so they can only run to my upper half to farm. You might get overtaken."

"...Don't call me Ah San!"

Sansan rolled her eyes, but still followed the advice and retreated. It was this retreat that allowed her to avoid being instantly killed by the level 6 Gragas's ultimate attack and avoid being blown back.

hiss…

She gasped.

The reason, of course, is that the Joker appeared beside the barrel; he hadn't left yet!

What kind of grudge could this be?

Vi reappeared in the mid lane and cleared the newly gathered minion wave at full speed.

"Who is the real jungler, Su Mu or Bai Wei...?"

"It's not the first time. I remember the skinning Senna incident vividly enough. Steamed buns? Aren't you going to use a prop?"

"I'm really impressed, but this is a real professional competition... This kind of play won't work." Sansan didn't understand.

It's not like when we joined a professional team and received systematic training back when we were playing in the National College League, that we realized how immature our playstyle was back then.

"Never mind how they fight, just think more and be more vigilant, you can't go wrong. Don't forget, Su Mu isn't even afraid of pomelos!"

Ye Ziyue did not participate in the discussion, and seeing that there was no danger on the way, she changed course and returned to the middle.

Having died once, she cannot afford to slip up again.

Seeing the Gragas retreat, Sansan rolled her eyes. Finally, she could peacefully farm a wave of minions. It hadn't been easy.

While the vampire was last-hitting the tower, Su Mu walked into the river without returning to base.

When the OB camera panned to her, it was discovered that she was pressing against the wall while performing R, with her main body and clone separated by the wall. Many people's attention was instantly drawn to this.

They've gone all out; do they still want to mess with the vampires?

As Su Mu controlled his clone to move in the opposite direction, he stopped in the bushes. Soon, the clone went beyond the control distance and automatically returned to his main body.

Saba Lingjiulingqijiuwubansan had almost finished eating the tadpole when he saw a clown emerge from the bushes behind him, and he was dumbfounded.

Three times already, three times already! Su Mu actually dared to lay a hand on me again!

That's not fair!

"Then let's see who dies!"

Sansan decisively used her ultimate (R) on the clown in her vision, but to her surprise, the clown neither dodged nor evaded, and charged straight towards the turret.

In that instant, she realized—

The clown walking towards us isn't the real one!

"I'm coming!" Tianxuan signaled for support, she hadn't expected Su Mudong to be so determined to go.

The live stream suddenly split into two parts, with the other part showing a fight breaking out in the bottom lane as well.

On the commentary panel—

"The clown's decoy was destroyed by the tower's attack, and the vampire used his Blood Pool to avoid the explosion, but then had to face the real clown who activated Ghost. After the Blood Pool appeared, the real clown was slowed down by Gragas's Q."

"The Shaco's backstab and auto-attack hurt so much! Gragas was tanking the tower, and Vladimir, almost dead, was finished off by the Shaco's final E!"

"The monkey arrived late and could only watch helplessly as the two culprits who killed their teammate left."

"Wow... Su Mu is really targeting Sansan. She stayed in the top lane for a minute and several seconds, blocking her from level 5 to level 6 and trying to kill her."

"Sansan is completely destroyed. Once something happens in the top lane, it will be difficult to contest the Rift Herald that spawns less than two minutes later... The camera moves to the bottom lane, where Xayah and Flash kill Aphelios. Although Xayah is also killed, Lulu gets the kill, so it's a bit of a loss!"

175. Is it open?

[Bathe!]

[This is so targeted, if I were a vampire, I wouldn't make the Mugen Pill!]

If BRS wants to play the late-game dual-core system, they have to take this risk, but they didn't expect Mu Ge's countermeasures to be so ruthless.

WLD's bot lane is so aggressive! They dare to engage even when they're at a health disadvantage. With Aphelios dead, all the jungler's early-game support was for nothing.

【Jade!!! All I can say is that Ayu's Luo play was incredibly cool, and the angle of his W move was extremely tricky.】

After being ganked like this on the top lane, BRS realized it would be difficult to contest for the first kill from now on.

The vampire has little fighting power in the early game. The bottom lane could have gained lane priority and made a move with the help of the jungler, but instead, they ended up trading blows.

If you don't have Flash to engage the Vanguard and get locked on by Vi's ultimate, you basically have no chance of survival.

Rationality tells the BRS players that if there isn't a good opportunity to give up the Rift Herald, it's better to protect the bottom lane and secure the turret plating while suppressing Xayah's development.

Another factor that cannot be ignored: the mid lane.

Sett's effectiveness was completely undermined in this game. Playing against a champion like Shaco is like punching cotton. The most damaging aspect is that he was outmaneuvered, and the resulting chain reaction subtly affected the side lanes.

A lineup that relies on mid-jungle synergy to control the tempo and acquire resources will inevitably lose the game if the mid laner makes a mistake and doesn't handle it well.

In the BRS backstage lounge, Zhu Jun's face was solemn, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

This is bad news. The misjudgment of the Shaco's position at the beginning has caused a series of butterfly effects. The players have never played a game where the enemy team uses the mid-lane Shaco as the core of their rhythm. If they can't find a way to deal with it, they will be in a very passive position.

"Liu Keke is really daring... sigh..."

"Really dare to what?" the assistant coach asked, puzzled.

"If they dare to give their players unconventional heroes and strategies in real professional matches, look at their lineups—they don't resemble the meta at all!"

Putting aside the Shaco, it would be perfectly reasonable to replace the mid lane with a more normal carry like Annie, but adding a Shaco mid laner instantly changes the game.

"Uh...that's true." The assistant coach thought about it and agreed.

Su Mu's strength lies in his vast hero pool, and it's understandable that Liu Keke would use this advantage in her drafting strategy. However, she should at least choose the mainstream picks for the entire version. What's the point of picking Shaco?

The two coaches remained silent after that, and the rest of the people in the room didn't know what to say either, so the atmosphere became somewhat subdued.

After watching for a few more minutes, sure enough, the Vanguard was lost, and the Shaco was causing trouble everywhere to help the team get resources and start the game. He died twice, but because of the support items he had and the intentional killing of the Shaco, this playstyle actually created an economic advantage in his lane.

According to the data provided by the director, Wanhao is even more than a thousand points behind.

You should know that Shaco doesn't really last-hit minions at all; his CS count is even lower than Vi's as a jungler.

The tempo matchup was completely outmatched.

Ye Ziyue finally had enough money to get the Mythic item, but hesitated when trying to synthesize it.

Given the current situation, should we really continue to produce strong winds? But what about all the smaller items if we don't?

There's no turning back.

Ye Ziyue gritted her teeth and sent Kuangfeng down the road.

The coaching staff chose Sett for her to set the pace, not to fall into Shaco's rhythm and be a step behind in everything.

Xayah doesn't have Flash, and her ultimate isn't off cooldown yet. If you catch her, kill her instantly.

Also, pull out the strange...

"The vanguard is ready to push down the lane; the minion wave can be pushed," Bai Wei said succinctly.

"I'm damned," Su Mu said. "The opponent is aware of this. The monkey is rushing this way, and the strongman is missing in the lane."

She quickly switched screens, then looked at the minimap and fell into deep thought.

If you were Jinfu, and you had just been ganked and brought back to base in the mid lane, and the lane had been pushed under your tower, what would you do in the current situation after leaving your base?

There was no chance in the top lane, and the clown was nowhere to be seen in the mid lane.

The enemy Vi's Herald's Eye is about to expire, so they generally won't support a tanky champion like Gragas, let alone a tanky Gragas.

The mid-lane Shaco runs around everywhere, ignoring even the minion wave. The mid-lane tower plate is still at four stacks, so he's unlikely to consider it either.

Xayah is a champion with a smooth growth curve, and she can perform well in the early, mid, and late game. Apart from her short range, she doesn't have any major flaws, and if you level her up, she can carry.

The only way for the vanguard to succeed is to lay down the road. It's not absolute, but it's highly likely.

Then, Xayah doesn't have two summoner spells or her ultimate. As long as you seize the opportunity well, you can kill Xayah while also protecting the bottom tower. A qualified mid laner will definitely know how to make trade-offs.

Instead of focusing on farming the mid lane, prioritizing protecting your own core and hindering the enemy core's development is the right approach.

With both mid and jungler gathering in the bottom lane to help, defense is sufficient, but securing kills is unrealistic unless you can summon even the Vladimir...

So, the flank position is...

Thinking of this, Su Mu glanced at the top laner's movements, observing his positioning and strategic logic for a few seconds before looking towards certain areas in the jungle.

Grass, neutral plants, counterintuitive... another

"Hmm..." (The word "韭" is likely a typo and can be left untranslated.)

"Brother Mu suddenly fell into thought, what's wrong?" the neighbor asked.

"Check the area near the bot lane toilet with a scanner. You can also place a control ward, but remember not to place it in the lane bush. If there's nothing there, check the tri-bush near the tower."

Deng Jiayu nodded, activated the scanner, and walked into the bend. There was nothing there, not even in the three patches of grass along the road.

Then she used her E skill and her teammate's W to quickly dash to the jungle's tri-bush, intending to place a control ward. Then...

"Wait, insert it here." (I)

Su Mu marked the spot in the toad pit. (Pull)

Deng Jiayu did as instructed, and as soon as she placed the real eye, her eyes widened instantly.
