She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

no one.

Nobody knows how well the new version of Aatrox will perform in this match.

The unknown is what makes people most wary.

?319. Everyone in the upper and lower fields exploded

Amid cheers, shouts, anticipation, and curiosity from audiences around the world, the third game of the finals began—

Officially begin.

The moment they entered Summoner's Rift, Su Mu unusually encouraged his teammates, "With match point in hand, stay humble and go all out."

"Alright, but Lian, don't have a sudden breakdown and die. Hang in there for this game. If you win, you'll be the world's best ADC!"

"I won't allow myself to die suddenly, at least not now." Yi Lian said seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely die before you guys no matter what." Yan Hua bought his travel clothes and suppressed his emotions.

Bai Wei glanced to the side and met Su Mu's gaze. Both of them smiled and looked away.

We are so close to our goal. Let's persevere and work a little harder.

The first elemental dragon is wind, which means that the weakest dragon species will not be refreshed this time, and it also means that the advantage in the lower half of the field is very important.

It's hard to say about the mid and bottom lane priority; both sides' mid and jungle combinations are quite competitive.

The clash between spear and shield in the top lane is a battle where one side must gain an advantage, otherwise it's equivalent to being at a disadvantage, while the other side only needs to stabilize their development and complete their mission by not missing their ultimate in team fights. The pressure is on a completely different level.

As the engine of the game's tempo, the clashes between the mid and jungle players will dominate the early and mid-game, attracting most of the regular observers' attention.

Lissandra has an advantage in pushing lanes early on, while Aatrox's cooldowns are too long to push effectively.

Therefore, Su Mu was not in a hurry and did not intend to engage in pointless trades of health. He would let the opponent attack him and just maintain the minion wave to prevent them from entering the tower in the early levels.

Deadgun didn't rush to push either, remaining highly alert and paying close attention to the movements in all positions.

From God's perspective, the battle seems imminent.

"DBZ has an idea: a level 2 Camille and a level 1 Riven are coming to the mid lane to cause trouble for Aatrox!"

"Be careful, you'll have to switch to a control chain if you get caught."

"..."

Su Mu had expected the opponent to come and gank him 3 minutes ago, but he didn't expect even the support to come, and to use Flash to force an engagement.

There was no need for deliberation or hesitation; she had to use this flash attack.

Using your teleport early allows you to maintain your position and continue laning; otherwise, if you only use it after you've been severely damaged, you'll have to use your teleport as well, maximizing your losses.

Dodging the crowd control, I casually switched the camera to the bottom lane and saw Samira block LeBlanc's chain with her W.

DBZ made a small profit.

Lissandra took the opportunity to quickly push the lane, and Su Mu then turned to think about the enemy jungler's next move.

The jungle wards have expired, the top lane is okay, but I can't gank there.

That leaves only the jungle.

Looking at his ward, which hadn't finished resetting, Su Mu reminded him, "The enemy mid and jungle have disappeared. Be careful. I'll deal with the minions under the tower."

Bai Wei was swatting a toad, so she moved her position slightly upwards.

It was at this very moment that Camille, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, flew over the wall and hit her, followed by Lissandra's Flash-W combo that stunned her.

Even after the control was broken and she flashed over the wall, Camille still caught up. Her W was just one second away from cooldown, and her health bar was almost empty.

First blood!

The first blood was drawn, and the LCK audience, who had been holding back for so long, suddenly erupted in a tidal wave of cheers.

On the LCK commentary booth.

"So handsome! He's incredibly handsome!"

"KKZ's awareness was absolutely divine to predict the Lee Sin's position even with blind vision!"

"Go up the top lane and get under the tower quickly; there's still a chance for a three-man gank to kill the Krug!"

"Yanhua and Yukiko aren't in great shape, but Yukiko has stockpiled a wave of minions, and Yanhua probably can't take it head-on!"

"Once the crowd control abilities are off cooldown... Malphite flashed to dodge Irelia's E, but Camille can't dodge that E!"

"The Stone Golem can't escape this position. DBZ did a great job tanking the tower. Lissandra got the kill!"

"Great! The top laner and jungler have both gained an advantage. If they can maintain the momentum and snowball their lead into the mid lane, they might be able to win this game!"

The LPL audience's initial high spirits were extinguished by the explosion of these two kills.

No way?

When did KKZ's awareness become so good?

In the LPL commentary booth, Jian Yun frowned slightly and explained the reason.

"The lack of lane control allowed KKZ and Deadgun to play too comfortably. Of course, KKZ's blind prediction of Xiaowei's position was indeed outrageous."

"Many viewers may not know that LCK teams haven't scrimmed with any LPL teams. DBZ's losses in the first two games don't mean they're weak; perhaps they suffered more from a lack of understanding."

"DBZ's status as the LCK's number one seed is definitely not solely due to the contrast with their opponents; it's just that they seem like a second-rate team when facing WLD."

“WLD’s top and jungle are a bit over the top right now. We need to be on high alert and keep a close eye on Camille. The top and jungle matchup can have problems, but the mid and jungle matchup absolutely cannot.”

"We need to wait for Su Mu to level up and see if she can farm steadily while managing her lane well. Otherwise, Xiao Wei won't have an easy time in either jungle, unless the bot lane... um? gets a lane kill?!"

As the camera shifted, the situation in the bottom lane became clear.

For some reason, a fight broke out in the bottom lane. The remaining players were all low on health, and not a single one of them retreated.

"Kasa traded for Riel, but Samira also took her down, giving Samira a double kill!"

【ah?

What is WLD doing? Why are their top, jungle, and bottom lanes all destroyed?

【send!

The replay showed that LeBlanc used W to poke and was countered by Riel's Q followed by W to knock her up. Then Samira dashed in to extend the knock-up and deal damage. When LeBlanc used W to return, Samira followed up again, and LeBlanc finally died.

DBZ's bot lane duo was not at full health, and Kai'Sa could only hit Riel at first, but when she finally managed to kill her, she was finished off by Samira.

"Something's changed on the other side, like they've replaced someone else," Deng Jiayu said, somewhat annoyed.

Not only was Bai Wei's jungle clearing route predicted, but so was her own. Rui'er seemed to have anticipated that she would use her W to poke and harass, and used her Q skill almost simultaneously.

Ueno was killed, and the bottom lane also suffered a loss; it's a bit of a disaster.

Fortunately, Samira was wary that the resurrected Lee Sin might head straight to the bottom lane, so she didn't dare push the minions into the tower, otherwise she would have suffered an even greater loss.

Even so, the economic gap has reached over a thousand. It's not optimistic that the game has gotten this bad in less than 5 minutes.

The South Korean audience cheered even louder.

Well done!

[Go DBZ! Win three straight games and make WLD swim back to China!]

It's not too late to wake up now. This is how we have to play. Let the monkey country see how powerful our Republic of Korea's professional players are!

Haha, congratulations to DBZ for winning a game! I see their potential to come back and win three games!

【…

The shouts erupting from the audience made those Chinese people who understood Korean twitch at the corners of their eyes.

Damn, I'm so angry.

This is a classic case of a petty person getting ahead. They've only been at the beginning of the game for a short while, yet they're already smashing the champagne bottle. Aren't they afraid of making a fool of themselves?

320. Counterattack

Su Mu assessed the situation and stared at TAB for a while.

It's alright, not to the point of being difficult.

"Ayu, remember not to be greedy for W's damage. You have a range advantage, so it's best to max Q for poke damage in the early game."

"Push the lily directly online at full speed, and don't give it any vision after you're done pushing."

"Vivi can linger around here for a bit, but not for too long."

"Ahua, don't worry about the bottom half of the map. We should just let the first dragon go by default. Focus on farming for the next four minutes and avoid fighting if possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu returned to the spring, opened the shop, and gently moved his eyes.

DBZ's lineup doesn't offer much room for error, and it's not strong in the late game.

Jungle Camille can't exert pressure on solo lanes like a top laner can, and her normal farming speed can't compare to that of a solo laner.

They are different; later on, there's Kai'Sa.

The newly reworked Aatrox has no shortage of survivability, demonstrating what it means to be a monster with both offensive and defensive stats.

Bleeding is comprehensive, while armor penetration is aggressive.

She doesn't need to be comprehensive right now.

Having the resources to take risks but not pursuing them, and instead seeking only stability, may not necessarily lead to the desired outcome.

A smile appeared on Su Mu's lips.

The pointer that was originally on the Iron Whip icon has been moved to the Serrated Dagger for purchase.

Since Su Mu returned to the city, Jian Yun had been observing what she would bring home on her first trip home, and was taken aback when she saw the serrated dagger.

"Su Mu doesn't seem to intend to shed his blood."

"Really, the first important small item from the Eighth Grade O Wine Qi (V) Eight Nan Brocade is a serrated dagger... Is it going to be an Assassin's Mythic item?"

"Legendary items like the Eye of the Void or Youmuu's Ghostblade are unlikely. It should be something like Duskblade or Starfall. Considering Aatrox's ultimate ability to revive, do you think it's possible that it's axiomatic arc?"

Upon hearing Luan Ming's words, Jian Yunqing and Lu felt their lips twitch.

"To be honest, an hour before today's finals started, I watched some top lane specialist streamers play Aatrox, and most of them were building Bloodthirster, while some were building Boots of Speed ​​and Divine Intervention."

Seeing that his two partners didn't respond, Luan Ming continued, "Everyone is still in the exploratory stage, with most leaning towards warrior-type mythics, which aligns with the official warrior role given to the Sword Demon after his rework."

"Having watched WLD play so many matches and personally commentated on so many games, her understanding has always been ahead of everyone else."

"Perhaps we can't keep up with her understanding for a while, but—just understand one thing: she doesn't play those tricks that don't yield returns. In short, every move she makes has a purpose."

Qinglu couldn't help but smile. "Then let's all take Ming-ge's good wishes. WLD is currently at a disadvantage. I hope Su Mu is still the one we can always trust and can lead WLD out of this predicament."

Many anxious viewers were temporarily calmed down after hearing the three commentators' words, and they patiently continued watching, their worries subsiding.

WLD's situation is indeed not good. Playing it safe and developing steadily is a double-edged sword. Avoiding battles can indeed help with development, but that means that the opponent is doing the same, or even has a better development environment.

Generally speaking, the side with the advantage in vision control will maintain their lead unless there is a significant skill gap between the two sides.

The Malphite had a bad start and was constantly suppressed by Irelia. Especially after Irelia got Blade of the Ruined King, he would lose a lot of health and mana if he was hit by a Twin Blades.

They have no initiative in the top lane and can only barely maintain their development.

The jungle was affected and thus lost. If Su Mu hadn't collapsed and still had some deterrent power, Bai Wei's days in the jungle would have been many times more difficult.

You can't compete for the vanguard position.

DBZ, having acquired resources, lies dormant like a viper, quietly awaiting the optimal moment to summon the vanguard.

During this period, DBZ destroyed WLD's top outer turret and then the bottom outer turret, finally showing the prowess of the LCK's top seed, with a pace of operation that left everyone breathless.

WLD is like a lone boat struggling to stay afloat in a raging storm, at risk of being capsized and sinking into the deep sea at any moment.

With the Herald's Eye item nearing its end, DBZ finally found a good timing in the mid lane, giving them a chance to take down the outer turret in one fell swoop.

Once WLD's outer mid-lane tower falls, it's like losing their last bastion. Su Mu's long-held even solo lane advantage will turn into a disadvantage, and vision control in both jungle areas will become much more difficult.

At that time, it will be declared that the country has officially entered a state of complete disadvantage.

DBZ wants to take the outer mid-lane tower, but WLD has to hold on even if it means a team wipe, and they can drag the game out as long as they can.

"Everyone, have a drink of water. Don't let the pressure crush you."

In the somber voice chat, after realizing DBZ's plan to push the mid tower, Su Mu suddenly said this.

"...!"
