Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 213 Double Launching Sirius! I am the King of the Canyon!
"That team fight was completely ruined by Uzi alone. RNG can easily take down the dragon and the Rift Herald!"

"That's right, Xiangguo has already finished off the dragon and gone over!"

With those words spoken, Skt, having lost their chance, was no longer able to fight Rng at the dragon pit and could only retreat helplessly.

"Rng!!! Rng!!!"

"Uzi!!! Uzi!!! Uzi!!!"

"Charge, you little dog!!!"

Seeing Faker's Morgana and Bang's Miss Fortune slink away, and then looking at Hanzi in the top lane who didn't even dare to eat minions, the audience had already started chanting RNG's team name and Uzi's ID. Obviously, everyone had realized something!
"RNG secured the Rift Herald, and SKT couldn't stop them! The gold difference has reached 5500, it's unstoppable. If Faker can't step up, and they lose the next wave, SKT really won't be able to win."

The child shouted it out in one breath, as if she had released all the pent-up frustration in her heart.

"RNG! They're about to enter their dominant period!"

As the commentators said, after this wave, Skt was indeed unable to withstand it. With the AP Kai'Sa's power spike and a wave of Rift Herald's impact, Skt could no longer remain calm and had to coordinate with all five players to defend.

The team voice chat in Skt was a bit dull.

My mentality completely collapsed! And it completely shattered!
It wasn't just because they were outplayed by this Kai'Sa, but also because their momentum completely collapsed.

Look at how much they lost this time!

The jungler and support fought Kai'Sa in the jungle for half a minute, and both of them used their Flash. The top laner Olaf also used his Flash.

As a result, the jungler and support were killed, the dragon and the Rift Herald were lost, and then RNG, who took the Rift Herald, grouped up in the mid lane and, relying on the Rift Herald, took down both mid lane towers in one wave.

While RNG hasn't lost a single tower, SKT has already lost four defensive towers, further compressing their development space.
However, compared to the somber tone of Skt's team voice chat, RNG's team chat was much more cheerful.

"Little dog, you've got some skills. Sigh, you're still thinking about the time when you were controlled by Skt. Master, times have changed!"

"With those three items in twenty minutes, I think SKT is doomed. We're going to win the MSI championship."

"Huh, Shi Senming, why are you so calm today?"

"Absolutely! We're going to be representing the national team, haha!"

"Let Letme go up and take the beating, we'll just stay back and hide."

letme: "???"

Whether you're going against the wind or with the wind, you get beaten up, but how come you won so easily? Letme thought numbly and happily.

Today, he didn't feel any pressure from Hanzi Ge at all; he just seemed to win every game as he played.

After making a fortune, the five RNG players retreated in unison to their base and upgrade their equipment after taking down the second tower.

The timing of the return journey is also a detail for experts.

There are nuances to knowing when to return to town to upgrade equipment and when to continue developing your character.

Every time you return to base, you lose at least half a minute of development time. In that half minute, the opponent can develop their own resources or roam around and build vision. Rounding up, that's a huge loss.

However, sometimes, because there is an important team fight in the next wave, or because the opponent has returned to base to upgrade their equipment and you can't beat them, you have to go back.

Kai'Sa recalled to base last time, after pushing down the bottom lane tower.

His equipment consisted of "Attack Speed ​​Boots + Nashor's Tooth + the Pickaxe component from Guinsoo's Rageblade, two Attack Speed ​​Daggers + a Killing Ring", but the 3500 gold he had already indicated that Kai'Sa would be invincible once she reappeared.

After returning home, Kai'Sa immediately upgraded her equipment to an extremely exaggerated level.
-
Nash + Guinsoo's Rageblade + Mejai's Soulstealer + Needlessly Large Rod + Berserker's Greaves

"This is outrageous! This is the first time ever, the first time I've ever seen an ADC build Mejai's Soulstealer in a competitive match!"

"Isn't building a Mejai's Soulstealer against SKT a bit too overconfident? They're known for their strong initiation capabilities."

In most people's understanding, Kai'Sa is a champion who needs to dive in and deal damage, so after dealing a certain amount of damage, it's more appropriate to switch to defensive items.

The third item wasn't the mainstream Split Arrow; instead, they built Mejai's Soulstealer and a Giant's Belt, which confused many people.

But soon, Li Luo showed all the viewers the strength of this build for Kai'Sa.

Kai'Sa went straight to the top lane after leaving the house. Everyone frowned when they saw Miss Fortune and Leona in the top lane, feeling that Kai'Sa was just going up there to farm the wave.

Nevertheless, the two immediately prepared to retreat the moment they saw Kaisa.

But they had no idea how ridiculously powerful Kai'Sa's chasing ability was with this build.

The evolved W skill has only a 4-second cooldown after hitting an enemy, which makes Kai'Sa, who already has the speed boost from her E skill, even more powerful.

Approaching stealthily with E activated, smoothly canceling the pre-cast animation of W, and unleashing the first W.

The blue trailing missile, seemingly guided by GPS, struck the female gunner precisely in the buttocks.

The moment the terrifying -583 damage spiked, everyone was stunned!

Keep in mind that Miss Fortune's current health is only a mere 1280 points. With such terrifying damage output, if three W shots hit, wouldn't she be instantly killed?
Bang immediately activated his W skill, gaining a speed boost, and ran backward without looking back.

But with the Rat King's enhanced accuracy, Bang will never understand just how terrifying it truly is.

As soon as the four seconds were up, the second missile arrived as if on cue, hitting the fleeing female gunman once again.

Two missiles actually reduced the female gunner's health to four-fifths!
The two sides have not even met, but one side is about to be knocked out!

"This" Bang didn't understand for a moment why the damage and cooldown were so terrifying.

Without thinking twice, he used Flash to get out of the way, not caring about saving his skills, and also activated Heal.

But the next second, everyone was stunned.

The blue Vision Mod suddenly appeared in front of the female gunner. As if mocked, the female gunner was about to click on it, but then realized her mistake and immediately continued walking forward.

It was this abrupt pause that caused the Japanese heroine and the female gunner to miss each other by a small arc, and a blue missile grazed the edge of the Japanese heroine and hit the female gunner.

Rng.Uzi killed Skt.bang.
Shock!

Laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

For skilled players, using foresight to modify the card's vision range is more of a habit.

By carefully studying a person's operating habits, one can determine roughly where the player usually clicks. By using foresight to modify these habits during the game, one can easily disrupt the opponent's operating rhythm.

The Leona stood dumbfounded where Miss Fortune had died, seemingly unable to believe that the enemy ADC had so easily secured a solo kill in their lane.

With the enemy's only damage dealer in sight, RNG immediately gathered at the Baron pit, quickly cleared the vision, and prepared to start the Baron.

With the night long and many things going wrong, without the Baron buff, pushing into the high ground at this time is not easy, and can even be described as very difficult.

Once Morgana levels up and gets her items, her wave clear speed increases dramatically. To reach the high ground near the minion wave, you need the Baron buff.

RNG doesn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Skt clearly knew this, so even though they knew it was a 4-5 situation, they couldn't give up Baron to RNG.

SKT is making a desperate attempt.

But at this moment, another strength of RNG's lineup emerged.

If we're talking about the most refined mid-jungle system played by the LPL in S7 and S8, Galio and Jarvan IV are undoubtedly the best.

The reason this system became popular is because of its functionality.

Galio's reliable crowd control and ultimate's damage reduction help Jarvan IV frequently. Jarvan IV's R restricts terrain, and combined with crowd control, it's equivalent to having a free kill.
Extremely long-range knockback AoE.

Suddenly, the RNG players, who were still fighting the dragon, launched a surprise attack.

The prince, who was originally above the dragon, suddenly went berserk, using his EQ combo to sit directly on the tankiest heroes, Olaf and Leona.

Olaf doesn't have Flash!
Xiangguo knew this, so even if Galio activated his ultimate, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The moment the prince sat down, Xiaohu also flew over decisively. A Bagua formation appeared under the prince's feet, and the sound effect of Letme's exclusive champion skin rang out!
"Who dares to be so presumptuous!"

The powerful Chinese voice echoed in the Paris Zenith Arena, and resonated in the hearts of all SKT fans.

On this day, Galio's dream of winning the championship was shattered for countless LCK fans!

On this day, Galio, carrying the impact of the dynasty, crushed the regime!

They weren't even given a chance to steal the dragon. Without any Flash ability, the two were doomed from the moment they were trapped by the prince.

Only one lone excavator and Morgana remained on the field.

As Morgana was about to give the shield to the excavator and try to harass RNG while they were fighting the dragon, all the viewers fell silent.

This sense of powerlessness, this feeling of being controlled—if the team names were covered, no one would believe that this seemingly invincible Blue team was actually an LPL team. And their opponent was none other than SKT!

After securing the dragon, the economy began to completely dominate. In just 21 minutes, the economic difference between the two sides reached a full 10,000.

Moreover, the five RNG players, all in excellent condition, don't need to go home to replenish their energy.

This time, it's not a case of "don't pursue a defeated enemy," but rather "press on while the enemy is winning."

By the time RNG's five players arrived at SKT's tower with the minion wave, SKT's five players had already respawned.

"Let's engage, Wolf," Faker said to the support Leona.

It was hard to detect Li Ge's desolation and loneliness in his voice, but the Japanese woman still nodded.

The only one who can save the world right now is the Sun Maiden.

SKT seems to have many ways to initiate and counter-initiate team fights, but when they are at a disadvantage, the only one who can truly initiate team fights is Leona.

Only if Leona can land Kai'Sa's ultimate, and Skt manages to kill Kai'Sa amidst the chaos, is there any hope for a comeback.

If they can take down Kai'Sa, they can at least withstand this Baron Nashor attack and keep the spark for a comeback.

"Is RNG planning to push straight to the high ground and end the game in one fell swoop? Can SKT hold this position?"

The baby shouted loudly!

"We can't hold on! Morgana's damage output is completely inadequate for clearing waves right now. Once the next wave of minions arrives, this half-health tower will definitely be pushed down by RNG!"

"Look, Skt hasn't given up yet. This Leona has quietly moved to the flank and activated her scan. Because of the scan, we can be sure that RNG can't see her. From this position, she has a real chance to RNG's key player."

The three commentators took turns analyzing the situation on the field.

"This SKT team is still resilient, Faker is still resilient. Even though they are 10,000 gold behind, SKT has not given up. They want to turn the game around by initiating team fights!"

At this point, the audience had lost interest in listening to the commentators' rambling; everyone was focused on the tense situation on the big screen.

The next wave of minions is about to arrive in four seconds, which means that the countdown to this team fight has already begun!

Can SKT's support player, Leona, succeed?

Viewers were so eager to see that they didn't want to miss a single detail that some even put down their rice bowls and placed their hands, which had been under the table and between their legs, on the table.
Wolf was also watching Kai'Sa's every move.

The opposing team's control and counter-attack capabilities are also quite impressive. To engage Kai'Sa, they must do so before RNG can react. Otherwise, even if they do engage, SKT's five players won't be able to get in.

The minion wave has reached Skt's tower.

A red whirlwind appeared behind the three wolves!

It's Hanzi Ge's TP!
SKT has shown their fangs; this is a do-or-die situation!
The moment Kai'Sa raised her hand again, Wolf moved!

As we all know, Kai'Sa's W has a brief period of vulnerability when cast, during which she cannot move.

In League of Legends, almost all skills with a cast time have a very long casting animation. Unless under certain specific conditions, they can be canceled, and in other cases, you have to stand still and wait for the cast time to finish.

Kai'Sa's cast time is very short, even less than 0.5 seconds!
But that's more than enough. For a top professional player, 0.1 seconds is enough, let alone 0.5 seconds.

The moment he unleashed his ultimate move, a smile appeared on Wolf's lips, as if everything was under his control.

Unfortunately, the next second, Wolf's smile froze.

Kai'Sa vanished in full view of everyone, using her E ability!
"How did he interrupt the stun? How could he unleash his E skill?!"

"No, no, he didn't release W at all!!!"

"He's pressing Ctrl+3, he's mocking me!!!"

Wolf's face flushed an unnatural red, and he shouted into the microphone without restraint.

This wave of attacks, with the empty R, essentially rendered Hanzi's TP flank attempt futile, turning it into a TP kill for the enemy.

SKT's hopes for a comeback, their journey to the finals, all fell to this Leona who missed her ultimate.

He is the biggest scapegoat tonight!
Three games he was completely crushed! Three games he was sleepwalking through! Three games he was utterly useless!
3-0, I could do that too!

After dodging Leona's ultimate, RNG easily killed Olaf who was flanking them, and then pushed forward again with the next wave of minions.

The four under the tower still wanted to defend, but would Kai'Sa on the flank agree?
Each missile fired represented Kai'Sa's determination to kill.

The first shot hit Miss Fortune, and she quickly started to move left and right, but the next second a Kai'Sa flew next to her and Miss Fortune instantly died and fell to the ground!

???

what happened? ?

W, which flew over with Kai'Sa, instantly killed Bang?

And it seems that Kai'Sa used her W ability in mid-air to instantly kill Miss Fortune?

Before Kai'Sa could make any further moves, the game on the screen turned black and white.

The game has been paused!
The game has been paused yet again!
The tense situation had all the players on the edge of their seats one second, and then it suddenly stopped?

Has there ever been a best-of-five series where two matches were paused due to player error?

I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?
"A cover-up, a cover-up, a cover-up!"

"Give me fairness, give me justice, fairness and transparency!"

"Peace and love!"

The sound of something amiss suddenly came from somewhere, and the audience reacted as if a powder keg had been set ablaze.

It's boiling over!
Like water being boiled, no audience member could resist pausing and appealing again and again.

"It's Bae Jun-sik, it's player Bae Jun-sik who requested a timeout because Kai'Sa's W skill doesn't have a projectile trajectory, it's a homing missile?"

When the head referee received the players' feedback from the resident referees, his first reaction was...

Are you kidding me?
Even the referee wanted to throw the opinion letter at Bang's face, saying, "Can you please give me a targeted W on the spot?"

However, since a player suggested pausing the game and the system did not report a bug, the referee had no choice but to start testing the anomaly of this W skill.

From a normal spectator's perspective, Kai'Sa's W is indeed released in mid-air as she flies past.

This seamless special effect is very similar to W, which is a targeted skill.

"Hurry up and make a ruling. Go and set up three, no, five auxiliary test units. Test them immediately. There's a lot of feedback from outside."

Upon hearing the director's voice controlling the proceedings through his earpiece, the head referee anxiously gave instructions.

Kai'Sa's delayed Rw is hardly a hidden trick in high-level games.

However, even now that the S10 World Championship has started, there are still countless low-level Kai'Sa players who don't know the delayed Rw technique for Kai'Sa.

"Miller, what exactly happened with that move? Looking at the spectator view, there's definitely something wrong with that W," Wawa asked humbly.

The entire LPL live stream chat exploded with comments, the screen was filled with so many words it was a headache to read.

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've seen this kind of operation. Kai'Sa's W skill cooldown is too fast, and it's released very quickly. It must be that she used some kind of R skill's release animation to interrupt the W skill's animation?" Miller calmed down from the excitement at the scene and gave his explanation after watching Kai'Sa's replay.

He could interrupt Kai'Sa's W skill animation instantly, but the latter was completely baffled.

How can you use the aftercast animation of R skill to interrupt the precast animation of W?
This is an operation that has never been seen in professional matches before, and it can even be said to violate the game mechanics of heroes that require casting.

The skill level of players in League of Legends is improving every year, and the skill ceiling is no exception.

Kai'Sa's delayed Rw is not uncommon in high-level ranked games in later generations, but in this world where Kai'Sa has only been out for less than two months, it is nothing short of a bolt from the blue!
The technical staff in the backend were very busy testing. They first checked the game data and found no abnormalities.

Then, a simulated combat test was started. Because of the unique testing environment, the simulation was very fast. After importing the battle data and positioning data, it was 95% similar to the situation on both sides.

The player controlling Kai'Sa was a Master-level AD tester, and he and the opposing Miss Fortune completed the closed-loop test.

If the operation fails, you may have to repeat this tedious process again.

Therefore, both of them were quite anxious, and unexpectedly, they succeeded on their first test!
"Genius, genius, this kind of genius AD carry is terrifying!"

That's what the person in charge of testing Kai'Sa said.

Two consecutive losses. LGD showed me what it means for reality to be more surreal than fiction!
