“Urgate?” Liu Keke was taken aback.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, but you’re definitely right.” Su Mu rubbed his cheek with his fingertips. “Yan Hua, when you’re fighting Urgot, pay attention to the timing of your attacks. No of Aatrox’s control abilities are as high priority as Urgot’s E.”

Urgot has been buffed in this version, and considering his stats, he can actually be used to counter Aatrox. Liu Keke and the others may not know this yet.

I don't know if DBZ just stumbled upon this by chance or if he really has some understanding.

"Are you confident, Ahua? If not, give the Sword Demon to Xiaomu and let Ayu play Galio as support," Liu Keke asked.

Deng Jiayu shrugged and didn't say anything. Su Mu had previously taught her a quick course on Galio.

While the details may be lacking, the W-flash, backward E, and timely entry to protect teammates are still achievable maneuvers.

“There’s no problem beating Urgot,” Yan Hua said.

Liu Keke nodded silently, and when she saw DBZ pick Xayah as their third pick, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Why reveal the ADC so early? Are they worried that either Galio or Aatrox might not be playing in the mid or top position?

Good level of vigilance.

"Luo, just snatch it."

In the second round of the draft, WLD banned two of the opponent's good supports. DBZ was unhappy but helpless. The situation was destined to happen because the Xayah and Rakan duo was picked separately.

However, DBZ can also counter-attack ADCs who synergize well with Rakan.

Both sides were equally culpable, and in the second round, both sides focused heavily on targeting the bottom lane.

When WLD's fourth floor brought out Kai'Sa again, DBZ's head coach was furious.

They're still hiding their jungler, because they don't want them to know if there's anything strange about Aatrox and Galio.

After weighing all factors, we decided to pick Sejuani for jungle and Thresh for support.

"Here they come! Ieran's most skilled and confident Thresh! DBZ is finally not holding back anymore, and the bot lane has brought out their signature moves!"

In the LCK commentary booth, the three commentators—two men and one woman—were excited, exchanging their thoughts one after another.

"Also, I heard a rumor that Yukiko has played Urgot a lot in the international server's training mode, and that it's her strongest trump card. Moreover, Urgot was buffed in patch 2.17."

"So, does that mean DBZ's entire match featured three players with exceptional skills?"

"almost."

"..."

The LCK commentator's words cheered up many local viewers, slightly easing their initial pessimism and skepticism.

I knew it! DBZ's performance with the new hero last game was definitely not his true level.

314. Dear Stepmother

"Keep giving me Blue Steel Shadow," Bai Wei said.

She didn't expect that DBZ would completely disregard the possibility of them using the Galio-Camille composition.

There's nothing more to say; if you dare to release it, you dare to choose it.

Deng Jiayu didn't need Liu Keke's permission or advice; upon learning of Bai Wei's intentions, she immediately locked in the hero.

The lineups for both sides are as follows:

Blue side DBZ: Top lane Urgot, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Akali, Bot lane Xayah, Support Thresh.

Red team WLD: Top lane Aatrox, Jungle Camille, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Kai'Sa, Support Rakan.

The audience thought this game would start peacefully, but unexpectedly, the first blood occurred right at the beginning.

The four players in the bottom lane bumped into each other in the river. Yi Lian figured that the enemy Xia was a level 1 cripple. Seeing that the enemy dared to pretend to have someone behind them, he didn't tolerate it at all and immediately attacked.

Deng Jiayu clicked the "W" button to keep people from leaving, and it was this "W" that led to trouble for herself.

Sejuani flashed over from afar with a Q and knocked her back. Thresh, who had been holding back for a long time, unleashed a precise Q. Deng Jiayu tried to use Flash to escape, but was still burned to death by Thresh's Ignite.

If you get the first blood and have to use your Death Flash, even if the kill goes to Thresh, it's still a huge loss.

The LCK audience immediately erupted in a deafening roar, leaving the LPL audience feeling uneasy.

【Jade?

Why not just stand guard properly? There are no teammates nearby, why do you have to go up and mess with the enemy?

[Send it! I'm closing the stream, I'm not watching anymore. Call me again for the next game!]

The commentators were also somewhat speechless.

"WLD's duo made a mistake in this play. Fortunately, Rakan is a relatively agile champion, so losing Flash doesn't mean they can't play. Let's see if Xiaowei can take advantage of Sejuani's lack of Flash to gain a lane advantage in the jungle."

"Not really. Camille is too weak in the jungle early game. Even if she encounters Sejuani in the jungle, she can't kill her. Sejuani not having Flash is more about relieving the pressure on the lane at the start of the game, but overall it's still a loss."

"..."

The minions are online, and the monsters are respawning.

Half a minute later, Su Mu and Bai Wei both noticed that DBZ was pushing the lane in the bottom lane, while Sejuani's top jungle camps remained untouched.

The most likely scenario is that Sejuani will get a full spawn in the bottom half of the map, but that's a low probability...

Bai Wei frowned, caught in a dilemma. After thinking for less than two seconds, she decisively turned around and stopped her from heading to the upper half of the area.

After taking down the blue buff and the gromp, she quietly slipped into the blue buff bush to wait.

Meanwhile, Su Mu ignored Akali's Q to poke and harass, using Q to whittle down the front-line minions before quickly clearing the wave with an enhanced auto-attack.

Everything seemed quite normal.

Deadgun opened the tab and glanced at the talent Su Mu was using, muttering to himself.

This woman still loves using Aftershock when playing Galio...

The director's OB view showed Bai Wei, and upon seeing her location, the viewers with the "God's eye view" were first stunned, then gasped.

The LPL viewers, who were already on tenterhooks, stared even closer to the screen, focusing intently on the match.

Through the commentators' live chat, everyone knew that Sejuani had finished clearing the Krugs and was heading to the bottom lane, crossing the river into the blue buff area, and soon arrived at the bushes at the entrance to the bottom lane tower's jungle.

They're trying to take advantage of your weakness and kill you!

“Ayu needs to be careful in this position. If you let Pig create an angle for Ieran to hook, he will die. Xayah already has E and W skills.”

Before Luanming could finish speaking and finish his sentence, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the sudden change in the live video feed.

"Ayu was hit by KKZ, but Ieran's flash hook was blocked by Lian's flash!"

"A teleport has appeared under the tower! It's from Su Mu, we can counter-attack!"

"Xiao Wei is in position too. She kicks KKZ over the wall, stunning him and continuing the crowd control. KKZ, who is tanking the tower, is definitely going to die!"

"..."

Upon seeing this, Eclipse and Ieran instantly realized that WLD had counter-ganked them and immediately abandoned their teammates to retreat.

However, in order to deal damage to Yi Lian, Ieran used his second Q to get to her side, so it seems difficult for her to escape now.

Su Mu immediately charged up his W as he landed via TP. Eclipse reacted quickly and sensed something was wrong when he saw Su Mu charging up his W. He used Flash and gave a Heal to speed up his teammates, but Ieran was still caught by Su Mu's W Flash.

Oh no, something terrible has happened!

I originally planned to gank bot lane at level 2 and completely crush WLD's bot lane, but I didn't expect WLD to react so quickly. Almost as soon as we started the fight, Galio's TP landed.

The speed of this support is absolutely terrifying.

And that Camille was only level 2, which means she never left the bottom half of the map and was always counter-ganking.

Knowing full well that there were absolutely no wards near the river in the lower half of the map, or even in their own jungle, the five members of DBZ fell into a deathly silence in their voice chat.

Having narrowly escaped death, Deng Jiayu disregarded Su Mu's previous warnings and blurted out as her heart rate soared.

"Oh dear, my two godmothers, please accept my bow!"

To be fair, this display of awareness and speed of support was nothing short of divine.

Neither she nor Yi Lian expected DBZ to be so bold as to bring in a level 2 jungler to attack the bottom lane.

Neither Su Mu nor Bai Wei warned her in the voice channel until they discovered that the Pig Girl had appeared and immediately teleported to support her, clearly indicating that they had been on guard.

"Weren't you just deliberately showing a weakness?" Bai Wei was taken aback.

Deng Jiayu was also stunned, and asked blankly, "What do you mean by deliberately showing a flaw?"

"...It's alright now..."

She was crouching near the blue buff for a while, and I thought the two bot laners had figured it out. Turns out I didn't notice.

It seems that sometimes we still need to communicate verbally, otherwise it would be terrible if we made a mistake in our coordination.

While the mode of minimizing communication and avoiding major decisions in order to avoid disrupting teammates' laning strategies is effective, it also has certain drawbacks.

"Anyway, I'm getting better!" Yi Lian smiled.

None of the four players in the bottom lane have Flash, so no one dares to push the lane recklessly, minimizing the impact of giving up first blood at the start of the game.

"You GDX, you actually killed Sejuani! Brother Mu TP'd over at level 2 and only got two assists. Is this the river? Hurry up and thank Brother Mu!" Deng Jiayu said disdainfully.

"Don't say anymore, thank you, godmother!" Yi Lian said readily.

Su Mu chuckled and didn't bother to correct his teammate's address. In this kind of competition, if calling someone "Mom" could unite the teammate's beliefs, then let them call him that.

Losing a bit of gold with a tanky Galio isn't a big deal, since she's the only tanky frontliner in this game.

If Yan Hua Sword Demon can develop properly, he can be considered half a sword demon.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Su Mu had just returned to the mid lane to deal with the minion wave when a kill announcement came from the sky above the canyon.

Our ally has been killed!

After glancing at the kill icons and the chat box in the lower left corner, Su Mu and the others' eyes narrowed.

Yan Hua, playing Aatrox, was actually solo-killed by Urgot at level 3...

315. Variation

"Oh no, I made a mistake and accidentally took the tower hit." Yan Hua shook his head in annoyance.

Ultimately, it comes down to proficiency. Mastering the details of skill movement and distance cannot be achieved overnight.

"Stay calm." Su Mu didn't say much more.

Bai Wei signaled an attack, "Akali seems like a good catch."

“You can give the martial arts medicine (8) phosphorus weeping yi a try.”

The two acted swiftly and seized the opportunity precisely. Even though Deagun managed to escape with a sliver of health, he had already used up all his skills.

Akali not having Flash is advantageous for the subsequent small-scale resource battles at level 6.

At the same time, Yan Hua, who had just respawned and returned to the lane, was targeted again. She didn't expect that KKZ, like Bai Wei, would come to catch her without even clearing the top half of the map.

He's not dead, but forget about taking that wave of minions under the tower.

In addition, her poor health of less than 30% will also cause Bai Wei to lose some resources in the upper jungle.

Deadgun has TP and can return to the mid lane to continue farming. If Yan Hua doesn't want to die, he only has two options: either call Bai Wei to help clear the lane and go home, but that's not very realistic, as Sejuani will definitely come to stop him.

The second option is to immediately return home and abandon the tower, at the cost of losing another wave of minions.

In the back and forth, Yukiko will be far ahead in level and experience.

Both junglers did their jobs well, but in terms of the trades, DBZ came out on top.

Some Korean viewers couldn't help but cheer. So what if DBZ's lead in the bottom lane was turned around? Aatrox is now in a dilemma; no matter how he plays, he'll lose.

"I'll go home, Sister Wei, you take over the call."

"Okay." Bai Wei hurried on her way.

He hadn't walked two seconds when he noticed that Sejuani was blocking his teammates' retreat path. He sighed almost imperceptibly and turned to walk towards the DBZ blue buff area.

That guy KKZ, his Sejuani seems to be even more extreme in terms of hunger strikes than hers.

Yan Hua was completely overwhelmed. By the time she respawned and returned to the tower, Urgot would be more than 1 levels ahead of her in experience.

If the next two minutes are not handled well, it is very likely that Qi Erlin (IV) Jiu San Si will face a situation where level 4 fights level 6.

In the WLD backstage dressing room, Liu Keke and the rest of the coaching staff frowned slightly upon seeing the situation.

At the start, it was clear that Yan Hua's Aatrox had no pressure to farm against Urgot. The turning point was that wave of QE poke in front of the tower.
