"Su Mu is acting so strangely today. I've never heard of someone dying three times in six minutes before..."

"WLD's lineup was already difficult to deal with LeBlanc, at most only causing minor limitations. Now that LeBlanc has farmed up so much, no one can withstand her burst damage!"

While the commentator was still guessing, a striking commotion broke out in the canyon.

That's the sound effect for Sion's ultimate ability, "Driving".

195. Like a hardworking lumberjack

Nothing... can stop me now—

After the brief nitro boost ended, Sion's speed stopped at 950, and he charged straight into the middle lane with a momentum even stronger than a dump truck speeding.

LeBlanc and Lee Sin were just about to push the creep wave into WLD's mid tower when they were all killed by the aftershock of Sion stopping his car.

Eagle: "..."

He ran out of mana, and even if his teammate gave up his second blue buff, he still didn't have enough health to continue laning against Sion.

Su Mu took a few steps forward and found that LeBlanc was ignoring her recall under the tower and skillfully began to charge her Q to clear the minion wave.

One Q kills all the ranged minions, one W bombs the melee minions and then each gets a single auto-attack to finish them off. The whole process takes only a few seconds, and the wave clear speed is starting to exceed some people's expectations.

Eagle, who had just returned to the fountain, felt a jolt. He rushed out to buy equipment and wanted to defend, but the fountain couldn't replenish his health and mana that quickly, so he had to wait.

Oh no, is it going to fall off another layer of the tower?!

"The cannon minion wave is here, the Lee Sin might be in the top half of the map, ladies, I'm doomed this wave."

Su Mu and others pushed into the tower and continued to demolish it with great enthusiasm.

That incredibly determined look gave one the feeling of a lumberjack working diligently.

Coincidentally, the audience noticed that Su Mu had chosen the Lumberjack skin for his (eight)⊙nine neighbor Qi Jiu's Sion.

LeBlanc returned to the lane after about 20 seconds. At this time, Sion had just used his Demolish, which was off cooldown, and not only did he easily take down the tower plate that was already at the critical health level, but he also caused a lot of damage to the next tower plate.

!!!

After the tower was attacked by Sion for a while, Eagle began to realize that something was wrong.

Holy crap, it hasn't even been 7 minutes yet, and the mid lane tower only has a little over one and a half layers of plates left?

And judging from Sion's momentum, it seems he's going to continue demolishing... Hmm? Why is he suddenly walking towards him?

The chain swung out and hit Sion precisely, followed by the Q mark. Eagle noticed that when Sion brushed past him and was frozen in place, he didn't turn around to attack him.

What is he trying to do...? Hmm... So his target was a low-ranking soldier!

"Sion is drawing minion aggro, activating W to charge Q, and trying to cut off the mid lane. This is a bit ridiculous..."

"Eagle can't worry about Su Mu for now. There's still a wave of minions under the tower. We need to go get them, otherwise the tower will take all our gold."

The commentator's point is valid, but Sion's wave clear speed is much, much faster than LeBlanc's now.

After the new wave of minions all died, Su Mu went into the corner of the jungle and waited for a while. He only came out after confirming that LeBlanc had pushed the minion wave into the tower, and then returned to the tower to continue dismantling the enemy.

Seeing that Sion beside him was ignoring him and only had eyes for the turret, his face twitched.

Hey, surely my turret isn't even qualified to withstand a single blow from the vanguard?

Yamero!

Eagle, a strange thought flashing through his mind, started to get anxious. He ignored the minion wave under the tower and unleashed his full combo on Sion.

The damage was decent, but not enough to kill instantly.

Sion has a small wooden hammer on him, and his passive has unknowingly added 300 health. Combined with his W shield, he can withstand a whole combo from LeBlanc and still have over 300 health left.

With just over 300 points of health, that's enough to leave the Demoness helpless for six or seven seconds.

Finally, when Sion's mana was almost depleted, he was killed again, gaining 176 gold.

"..."

I almost forgot that Sion has died several times in a row and has become worthless.

What's even more infuriating is that the tower plate has been destroyed down to the last layer, and the Vanguard is still 10 seconds away from spawning!!

Eagle was even more surprised that Sion's zombies continued to destroy the towers after they revived, managing to finish off the remaining health of the towers before their health bars were depleted...

Our defensive tower has been destroyed!

"What the hell?"

"The central tower is gone?"

The announcement instantly attracted everyone's attention. They zoomed in on the middle lane and were so shocked by what they saw that they almost popped their eyes out.

WTF?

“You might not believe it… Sion destroyed a full-health tower all by himself, and that was before he was even hit by the Vanguard in 10 minutes…” Eagle’s lips twitched violently for a moment.

"what?"

"???"

The top and bottom lanes are still laning, but they are told that the outer turret in the mid lane is gone. Who can stay calm in this situation?

On stage, the two commentators had mouths so big you could fit two popsicles inside.

They seemed to understand a little now; so this was Su Mu's strategy...

"Huh? Huh?"

"Unbelievable! They demolished the turret so quickly..."

"Su Mu went home and got the shipbreaker and attack speed boots... This..."

Commentators are not only responsible for analyzing the real-time progress of the game, but also for interpreting various details, engaging the audience's emotions, and improving the viewing experience to avoid making the game seem boring.

If a commentator is highly skilled enough, they can make an already exciting match even more spectacular.

Perhaps it was a passionate voice, perhaps it was the overwhelming shock conveyed by emotions, or perhaps—

A silence as simple and unadorned as this.

The narration stopped for more than half a minute before Lanling came to her senses, her voice strange and a little dry.

"Ghost story... Su Mu's current economy is more than a thousand points higher than Eagle's. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, would you believe that this is the kind of development a Sion could have after feeding several kills?"

"She had a lot of last hits, reaching 10 CS per minute at 8 minutes and 81 seconds, which means she didn't miss many kills, even after dying several times. It's too counterintuitive."

"Eat all the tower plates! That's enough to offset the loss of death. And after death, you can use zombies to continue farming minions or pushing towers, or severely damage LeBlanc. You can use three different methods to quickly return to lane in rotation: Ghost, Ultimate, and Teleport... This... this..."

The more the two talked, the more shocked they became, finally realizing that Su Mu's way of playing was deliberately giving away points, but definitely not mindlessly.

Every time she dies, except for the first time where she might lose, from the second time onwards, she will get tower plates and the lane will be restored every time she dies. If she has a way to quickly return to lane, she can severely damage LeBlanc and make her lose minions.

On one side, the minion wave plating and economy are not lost, while on the other side, some minions are lost and tower plating is not obtained, only increasingly worthless kills are obtained.

Over time, the enchantress went from making a small profit to suffering a huge loss.

After the two commentators' analysis, even viewers at the highest rank (likely referring to a high-level player) understood that Su Mu's previous intentions of feeding kills were all calculated.

I really like a quote from a League of Legends player: Huh?

I knew Mu-ge wouldn't just casually throw his head away with a smile. Eagle's expression was more bitter than a bitter gourd. I almost laughed myself to death!

[So this is a suicide strategy?]

[That's really fitting. But Brother Mu is really ruthless. He dared to throw a game in a professional match, especially the most important one. Unfortunately, I'm not educated enough, so I can only say "awesome" to get by.]

Got it, the new Sion is going to feed kills and destroy towers.

It turns out that Sion wasn't weak, but that going top lane was fundamentally wrong. The mid lane suicide strategy was the correct answer for this version. I completely understand now. I'm going to have some fun after watching the match.

[What do you know? LeBlanc has already bought a Killing Ring, and she still dares to feed?]

196. Breaking the high ground in ten minutes

What the commentators are aware of, the professional players themselves will naturally also be aware of.

Eagle went home and bought the Killing Ring, staring menacingly at the grayed-out Sion icon above the minimap.

Adhering to the essence of tower-destroying games, you'll destroy towers even if it means feeding kills, right? Fine, we'll take as many as you feed and see if your teammates explode first or my tower explodes first.

The tense players on the WLD sidelines breathed a sigh of relief; so that's how Su Mu played Sion...

Ten minutes ago, we managed to take down a fully plated first-blood turret with a few kills without losing many minions, which was actually a win. But how do we continue the fight? The turrets will definitely become harder to destroy as the game progresses.

"Weiwei, go take the lead. I'll draw the blind man's attention," Su Mu signaled from the river.

"Ah."

Having already destroyed the enemy's outer and middle towers, Su Mu didn't use Teleport to return to lane after respawning; instead, he chose to walk back.

It's too early to switch lanes now. After destroying the enemy mid lane, we can take advantage of LeBlanc's lack of lane priority to let the jungler put pressure on the side lanes, allowing the side laners to farm more tower plates.

Furthermore, this is the new version of Sion at its peak, and the opponents are not familiar with it. It will probably take them a long time to push to the high ground.

EZ and Yuumi can't get lane priority, and Fiora has little fighting power in early team fights, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Bai Wei can recklessly call on Deng Jiayu to go to the top side of the map to take the Rift Herald.

DTG quickly realized this and refused to let go easily.

How can Poseidon's mid-jungle duo compete with Lee Sin and LeBlanc? Their early-game fighting power is not even in the same league.

Although the outer mid-lane turret is gone, LeBlanc has still farmed very well thanks to Sion's kills, and she can easily one-shot squishy targets if she finds an opportunity.

However, neither Eagle nor Huolang expected that after Sion reappeared on the lane after his resurrection, his behavior showed absolutely no intention of moving towards the jungle.

"Sion still wants to split push?"

"It looks like... Should I go and keep watch?"

“No, the Rift Herald is more important. Sound and Falcon are both here; not taking the Rift Herald would be a huge loss of tower plates in the bot lane,” Huolang shook his head in disagreement. Lin

He didn't overlook the fact that Miss Fortune was staying in the bottom lane to push the lane and take tower plates. Although Gragas in the top lane had lane priority, as long as Miss Fortune didn't come, the top half of the map wouldn't be too much of a problem, and WLD would definitely lack damage output.

The others agreed, but Eagle felt that this wasn't a good strategy; he'd witnessed firsthand how ruthless Sion could be at destroying towers.

While alive, its tower-destroying speed isn't particularly fast, but it's incredibly persistent; even after death, it continues to demolish towers... 5

“I also think being a pioneer is important,” Falcon said.

Hearing the commander say this, Eagle had no choice but to move towards the river, ready to poke anyone he encountered at any moment.

Su Mu had just cleared a wave of minions when he saw that LeBlanc had entered the jungle and showed no intention of defending the lane. A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

He glanced at the killing ring in the opponent's inventory and smiled meaningfully.

I gave you a chance to stack more layers, but you proved to be useless. Don't blame her later.

"You can stall the opponent for a while, and if necessary or the situation is not right, you can abandon the vanguard and focus on survival and kiting."

"What about you?"

"I'll keep dismantling; if I can hold out for two more minutes, I can take down the high ground."

Deng Jiayu: "..."

Yan Hua: "..."

They glanced at the time in the upper right corner.

08:3

In the past, they would have definitely doubted whether it was a joke, but Su Mu had already destroyed the enemy's outer and middle towers before the vanguard spawned, so they couldn't help but believe it.

I understand now.

One word: procrastination.

"Should I come over?" Yi Lian asked.

"Just focus on taking the bottom lane tower plates, and most likely no one will bother you. Pay more attention to ward placement information."

"OK."

After briefly informing his teammates of the next strategy, Su Mu's smile deepened as he led the minions toward the enemy's second mid-lane tower.

Soon the minions entered the tower, and the countdown to the explosion appeared.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes, explosion, one slash, two slashes...

Six or seven seconds later, the second mid-lane tower had lost a third of its health. Twenty seconds later, an announcement of the tower's destruction rang out over the canyon.

The DTG players weren't unaware of Sion's movements at first, but they needed to be extremely focused on the front lines to force WLD's players to retreat from the river so they could take over the Vanguard.
