She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

However, even if Su Mu hadn't been kicked by Centaur and had his health reduced, the time he spent going back to the jungle meant he still lost priority for the next wave of minions.

"Mu Mu is about to launch an attack."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu glanced at Bai Wei's location and said, "No need to go around, Akali's wards aren't placed near the lower river."

Finnia intended to use his Q to quickly push the minion wave into the tower, but upon crossing the river, he saw Yone using his Wind Walk. He hesitated for a second before pressing his E to dodge, but to his surprise, the very next second after using his E, Lillia suddenly emerged from the river bush…

???

At such an early stage, they didn't choose to farm jungle monsters and develop their strength...

Isn't this a strategy that results in a pure loss?

"No need for support, I can run!" Finnia stopped Nakoo, who was about to stop to buff himself and come to support.

Finnia used her W to become invisible, but she still couldn't escape Lillia's Ionia rampage. Unfortunately for her, she was hit by the outer edge of the Ionia spell, dealing true damage.

Seeing this, Su Mu continued to build up her Q ability, then swept her W ability in a certain direction. The thickness of her shield told her she had hit her target.

"Here!" (The leek)

Bai Wei decisively unleashed her E skill, the round vortex landing precisely on Akali, who was hidden in the smoke.

Generous gift of crab! Flag

Finnia's eye twitched violently; he never expected that his prediction would be so accurate.

Lillia's E skill, Vortex, forces the display of the true vision of the hit enemy, effectively rendering her W skill useless, and she will immediately suffer a beating from Yone when he activates E.

With the red buff slowing effect from Lillia's basic attack, and seeing that his health was about to drop too low, he decisively used Flash to create distance and return to the turret just before Lillia used her second Q.

Damn it, I'm out of form in lane, I have to go back to base...;

Su Mu and his companion didn't chase. They hadn't intended to force a kill anyway; forcing Akali to use Flash meant they'd also force her to use Teleport. If Akali went back to base to replenish her health and mana and then chose to walk back to lane, she would definitely lose lane gold.

After pushing the minion wave forward with Bai Wei's help, they entered the upper river together.

At this moment, Nakoo, who had just finished clearing the red buff, was extremely embarrassed.

Our mid laner was forced back to base, and our top laner had no lane priority, so we can forget about getting the river crab in the top half of the map.

lower half...

Seeing that Ashe and Zyra had both left their lanes, he realized he wouldn't be able to get the crabs in the lower river either.

In this vast wilderness area, the only path left is to fight the stone beetles.

A disadvantageous start.

Sam touched his chin with his fingers, his eyes involuntarily narrowing as he stared at the Finnia monitor.

"She's started to act unpredictably and become difficult to deal with..."

Strong teams aren't afraid of those pseudo-strong teams with strong individual skills but fixed playstyles. Instead, they fear those mid-tier or even bottom-tier teams with varied styles that are unpredictable and force you into psychological battles.

As the saying goes, fear comes from the unknown.

Nobody knows what kind of surprises their opponents might pull; it's not uncommon for strong teams to lose to weaker teams during the regular season.

If WLD was merely a pseudo-strong team before and during the regular season, and could be defeated with unconventional tactics once their general approach was understood, then now, after their rapid transformation and improvement, they have the demeanor and potential of a strong team.

Even their ranked game style has become unpredictable.

Of course, Sam was referring to Xiao Wei as the contestant who was difficult to deal with.

As for Su Mu, let's not even mention him; he has nothing to do with the norm.

If it weren't for her livestream today featuring a special training mode, and the fact that a new version was released, it would be virtually impossible to see her playing a normal mid-lane hero.

With the mid and jungle lanes' movement range restricted, the top lane won't have an easy time either.

Sion, relying on Hecarim's obvious presence in the top half of the map, planned to control the minion wave in front of the tower to farm and annoy Ivern in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, he was overpowered.

He noticed that Lillia had finished off the river crab and immediately ran over here, with a high movement speed and Ivern's E.

He was slowed down by Ivern's E, and then got hit by Lillia's Ionia Guillotine, hitting the bullseye.

The high center point damage resulted in a damage number of nearly 200. Seeing that Ivern had reached an angle where he could use his Q, Sion was so frightened that he quickly used Flash to enter the tower.

I dare not risk waiting for Ivern to use Q before flashing; if the opponent predicts and hits, things will get really messed up.

Without a siege minion wave, if you recall to base, the minion wave will always be at a disadvantage when it reaches the tower. But if you don't recall, even if you bring your Centaur over, you might still be forcibly overtaken.

Saien hesitated.

Unfortunately, Finnia and Nakoo both knew this pro player who played top lane Ivern, and they were very familiar with his item build. In the early game, a one-for-one tower dive was not a loss for him, as he had enough gold to farm.

In other words, he will definitely follow the jungler whenever there is an opportunity to tower dive.

Nakoo frantically signaled Sion to retreat and not to greedily log off under the tower. Sion only lingered behind the tower for two seconds before deciding to retreat, unaware that it was already too late.

He managed to dodge Lillia's E but couldn't dodge Ivern's Q, and was pinned under the tower, unable to move.

Seeing the two people fly over one after the other, Sion glanced at his QWE skills, which were all on cooldown, and fell silent.

There's no room for maneuver; we can only attack the closest one and leave the rest to the reinforcements heading this way.

In a one-for-one exchange under the tower, Sion and Ivern were killed, and Baiwei's Lillia was greatly weakened by the tower's attack, leaving her with no choice but to retreat.

Nakoo didn't want to let the low-health prey escape easily. With Sprint activated and a double kill opportunity right in front of him, there was no reason not to give chase.

Just as I crossed the river, Yone suddenly appeared in the bushes on the lane. I used my sword and AQA combo to instantly stack 3 stacks of Lethal Tempo.

Shit!

What's Yone doing here?!

Nakoo turned to run, but was hit by Lillia's second Vortex, which slowed him down significantly for 3 seconds. Without Flash, he couldn't dodge Yone's charged Q3.

229. Excellent teamwork

Nakoo died at Yone's hands as expected. He looked at his mid-lane teammates to see if they could make Yone lose something, but instead saw Ivern teleporting to the mid-lane to farm.

Ah Lu Er er San Shi Ba Si Qun Zhe…

Want to switch lanes in the middle?

Sion would be in even more trouble than Ivern against Yone. Ivern might not be able to kill Sion, but could only slowly whittle down his health, while Yone could.

"It should just be a patch, they'll switch it back on." Finnia's eyes darted around, then suddenly widened. "Oh f***, when did Zyra get here?"

My attention was focused on the top lane, and I didn't even notice that Zyra left the bottom lane and ran to the mid lane.

Looking at the plant hero combination in front of her, Finnia realized that she couldn't let the blue team lose an overall economic advantage.

The lane definitely can't be pushed in, and if you go forward, Zyra will hit you with status effects. It's hard to find an opportunity to kill the opponent before you reach level 6, which is troublesome.

Let the blue team gloat for a while longer...

Zyra didn't stay long. After helping to hold the lane under the tower, she returned to the bottom lane. Finnia glanced at the halfway point of her experience bar to reach level 6, and then at Yone, who had been channeling his recall for eight seconds and then disappeared from the lane. Her killing intent began to rise.

Forcefully trade health for lane control, send minions into the tower, then retreat and recall.

That guy is finally going back to mid lane. Let's have a fight when he reaches level 6. Whether it's a solo match or roaming and setting the pace, it's a contest between mid laners.

However, no one expected that Sion, after returning to the online game after being killed, would die again in the siege of Yone and Lillia.

The red team was stunned for a moment. Apart from Jhin and Yuumi in the bottom lane, who remained relatively calm, everyone else was full of questions.

Damn it, didn't Yone recall? I clearly saw him disappear after eight seconds, and he even used TP on the last wave, so why?

Moreover, judging from his equipment and condition, he didn't seem to have returned to base at all; rather, he had been lurking in the top lane the whole time and hadn't left.

At this moment, Ivern, who had disappeared from the lane, reappeared, still in the mid lane.

If Finnia and Nakoo still don't realize they've fallen for the blue team's elaborate trap after seeing this, then the club should probably give them an IQ test...

After racking their brains, the two soon came up with a deceptive method of faking their return to the city.

Stand at the edge of the bushes to recall to town. As the recall progress bar nears its maximum, interrupt the recall and walk into the bushes, disappearing from sight…

In that case, wouldn't it be the same as already returning to the city?

Wow, this guy…

It truly lives up to Garen's line: "A cunning villain."

On the other hand, aside from Yone and Lillia, the other three on the blue side don't seem to have professional skill levels. Ivern is a well-known one-trick pony on the international server, but let's not talk about that. The two bot laners... no, actually the four, are 90% likely to be high-level random players rather than professional players.

Logically speaking, the opposing team's teamwork shouldn't be that good. Their previous lane switching coordination and support roaming to apply pressure were both very timely, showing a level of operational skill comparable to a professional esports team.

Finnia belatedly realized that, as a professional player, even with Akali, one of the strongest champions after her rework, he couldn't even control his own farming pace in the early game.

Recalling Coach Sam's words that WLD's main commander was mid-laner Sumu, Finnia stared at Yone's portrait above the minimap, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes.

Was she directing those three people?

Within the blue team's communication channel, no one initiated any independent communication; there were only various signals of different meanings.

The vast majority of these were initiated by Su Mu, who would first click on the avatar, followed by several coded messages: support, switch lanes, or attack...

The skill levels of players who can compete in the top ranks of the international server may vary, but almost everyone can instantly understand what their teammates mean by looking at the markers.

In servers where there is no team voice communication except for five-player teams, signal markers are the only way for countless players to coordinate with their teammates.

Every signal that Su Mu gave in advance was executed promptly by her random teammates.

It's okay if you can't recognize someone by their hidden ID; as long as you can tell their skill level, you can decide whether or not to follow instructions.

For Su Mu's three temporary teammates, there was nothing unreasonable about her commands and signals, so they just had to follow them.

It's not a big problem if the bottom lane doesn't gain any substantial benefits; having an advantage in the top, mid, and jungle matchups is equivalent to winning half the battle.

In the first few minutes, the red team was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of overall rhythm.

Originally, Lillia was active in the top half of the map a few times, and Hecarim had the opportunity to gank Ashe and Zyra in the bottom lane, but unfortunately, he was spotted by vision several times in advance.

Even the location of the wards and the direction of Ashe's Eagle Strike were given by Su Mu in his spare time.

After helping his teammates avoid several fatal crises, both Ashe and Zyra admired Su Mu even more.

With this level of strategic vision, it's no surprise that he'll become a professional player.

If it's not a brawl, high-elo players' control over neutral resources is not much worse than in professional matches. The mid laner is about to reach level 6, and both sides' bot lane and jungle are preparing to contest the dragon.

The bottom lane priority for the Jhin-Cat combo is definitely not going to be secured; they can only try to maintain their development and avoid falling behind.

Centaur is in a bad situation, not to mention that its heroic nature is also being completely controlled by Lillia and Klein.

So, Nakoo set their sights on the middle lane.

After confirming that Lilia had recently appeared in the bottom lane to put pressure on them, they launched an attack on Su Mu, who had just returned to the lane, without hesitation.

Activating his speed boost, he caught Yone's E skill as he returned and arrived behind him, kicking him back with a single blow.

Akali used her ultimate (R) and then tried to use her E, but unexpectedly missed...

"what?"

When Finnia and his companion realized something was wrong, Yone had already flashed and adjusted his R angle, bringing them into the turret's attack range.

"Such a close distance... Her on-the-spot judgment was off the charts, there's no way to kill her!"

"I can walk," Finnia indicated that she still had an R-line.

"Let's retreat. We've weakened Yone enough. Now we can go get the dragon."

"Oh no! Lilia!" Lin

It's annoying; this thing's Q stacks provide a lot of extra movement speed, making its support speed ridiculously fast. It arrived in mid lane from bot lane so quickly.

Akali's retreat path was surrounded, but she was able to create distance with her second ultimate (R), while Hecarim wasn't so lucky.

A token struggle, and the head still fell into Lilia's hands.

Both Lillia and Hecarim are heroes who use their Q skill to spin and scratch, but in the follow-up skirmishes after a burst of damage, Lillia is much stronger than Hecarim.

With the jungler dead, the dragon was practically gone, and Bai Wei easily took it down in a one-on-one fight. Wu

Sam shook his head upon seeing this.

You could have stalled in the river, looking for an opportunity to take down an enemy and secure the dragon. But a more sensible approach would have been to give it up directly, since the first dragon has a lower priority, and a team with a better growth curve can afford to let it go.

Finnia and her companion were too hasty, and their teamwork was far inferior to that of Su Mu and Bai Wei.

230. All parties

In high-level matches, once one side gains an advantage, they won't give the other side much of a chance to counterattack when they get serious.
