Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 230 Mr. Ming's Flowering Tactics!
The combination of Alistar and Jinx makes it relatively difficult to deal with Vayne and Janna before Jinx starts dealing damage.

His performance was so stable that it didn't seem to be what Deft intended when he picked this champion.

From level one to three, even Vayne, who was pushing the lane, could only retreat. She had no way to deal with Jinx. Judging by the time, Olaf should have already arrived in the bottom half of the map.

Olaf, at level 2, forced a gank and secured First Blood, but in return, Clearlove stole his Blue Buff. Without any large jungle monsters to farm, Olaf certainly wouldn't stay in the jungle.

With few wards available, Olaf's location cannot be determined. If Olaf successfully flanks, Vayne's development will be delayed by at least two or three minutes due to this early death.

The situation on the road is equally worrying.

Having secured First Blood, Smeb's playstyle was completely different from the previous game. He was unusually aggressive, frequently trading blows, which indirectly indicated his killing intent.

When it comes to "troll" top laners, many players immediately think of champions like Malphite and Nautilus, though C-Emperor's Darius is also a close call.
In reality, if a top laner wants to play passively, they don't need to play a clunky champion like Malphite. A true passive player not only needs to consider the balance of their win rate but also whether they are comfortable in lane.

While Malphite is great against AD champions, he'll be completely dominated by AP champions like Ryze, Vladimir, and Kennen.

Similarly, if Ornn wants to play passively, Camille, at least before Trinity Force, has absolutely no way to deal with him.

With the top and mid lanes at a disadvantage, the only remaining option is the bottom lane.

In terms of talent, Li Luo did not choose the Kleptomancy Vayne build that he popularized, but instead chose the extremely aggressive Conqueror talent.

Once the bottom lane reached level 4, both sides clearly intended to engage.

But before Deft could make a move, Vayne's ferocity surprised both players on the red team.

Evasion Attack (Q) —
Just as the minions arrived on both sides, before any were low on health, Vayne crossed the minion wave and used her Q to scare Deft.

That's going too far! Even if I played it cowardly this time, even if you're the world's best ADC, at this time and level, you still can't beat me by crossing the minion wave.

Faced with such inhuman pressure from the opposing team, Deft has no reason to continue playing defensively.

After forcibly landing a three-hit combo, Vayne, with Janna's protection, hid in the bushes to avoid minion aggro.

In terms of trading blows, Vayne was obviously at a huge disadvantage, with less than half her health remaining, while Deft's Jinx had only taken one three-hit combo and Janna's W, and still had a full 60% health left.

The significant advantage in trading blows lessened Deft's fear, and the next second, he decided to take the initiative and send Vayne back to base, out of the experience zone.

But before Deft could make a move, he saw Vayne use a potion to Q out of the bush and continue to kill him.

to death?

No, Deft immediately sensed something was wrong and began to retreat quickly.

However, it was too late.

A blind man of level six suddenly appeared in the river. Although he didn't go home to buy new equipment, his level was still terrifying.

Keep in mind that the Irelia in the mid lane has only just reached level six, so why is Lee Sin already level six?

Without a second thought, Deft immediately tried to Flash away, but the instant he activated Flash, he realized why Vayne had crossed the minion wave to fight in the previous wave.

Although Vayne's entry into the bush took away the aggro, Vayne had previously been led all the way towards the blue team's tower.

Unbeknownst to him, even he didn't realize that the battle, which was originally supposed to be fought with his back to the red team's defensive tower, had inexplicably crossed the center line of the river.

Jinx flashed, and Lee Sin flashed in sync, determined to send Jinx back into his arms.

mata's Alistar got anxious and used Flash + WQ to intercept the Lee Sin.

Unfortunately, Li Luo was just as quick-witted and used Flash to follow up with the E skill he had been holding onto.

As the Minotaur was flying in W, before it could even touch the blind man, it was struck by an arrow with tremendous force and was forced back.

Kneel down on the spot!

Before everyone could even realize Mata's mistake, Deft's Jinx had already been sent back by Clearlove's powerful kick.

As a veteran jungler in China, Clearlove has an abundance of experience.

He knew that this gank absolutely could not fail, and he had no intention of saving his skills.

After the previous Q, the kill was ultimately given to Vayne.

"How come his level is so high? Our Olaf is only level four!"

When Mata saw Jinx die and Vayne control the lane so he couldn't farm the minions, he couldn't help but complain.

This was originally a good opportunity to suppress Vayne, but when Lee Sin came, the great opportunity turned into someone else's.

It wasn't that the two of them lacked the ability to defend against ganks, but rather that they simply didn't expect the factory manager to reach level 6 so quickly.

"He must have taken two waves of experience from the mid lane!"

After Li Ge reached number 6, he frowned and said.

Xiaohu, who was laning against him, was extremely sneaky, but it's unrealistic to say that Irelia could pressure Zilean so much in the early game that he couldn't farm minions.

He's already level 6, but Old Man Time is only level 5. Someone must have shared the online experience.

Although the mid laner wasn't physically present during this gank, they indirectly contributed to the outcome.

In other words, this old man of time has somehow extended his time to level 6.

Anyone who has played Zilean knows how important the level 6 wave is. A Zilean with his ultimate (R) and a Zilean without it are practically two different heroes. And think about Lee Sin just camping around farming minions without coming up to gank. This kind of lurking mentality is enough to make people feel scared.

As a professional player, I can quickly deduce this intelligence based on the information I already know.

But the more they knew, the more frustrated Mata and Faker became.

The factory manager and they are all old rivals, but the factory manager's style is known for being steady, mainly focusing on map control and counter-ganking, and he will not take risks when he takes the initiative.

Actions like taking experience from the mid lane to launch the first decisive gank are a serious violation of Clearlove's playing style.

Such a risky decision is something only someone like Xiang Guo (a famous Chinese hot pot player) could make.

The system of the Old Man of Time and the Blind Man is not without basis.

As a Lee Sin with extremely strong ganking ability at level 6, the earlier he reaches this level, the greater the threat he becomes.

Under normal circumstances, it would take the Blind Monk no more than a mid-lane hero who can solo a lane and has the shortest lane length to reach level 6 quickly.

But the appearance of Old Man Time made the impossible possible.

Faker's predictions were largely correct, but he overlooked the most important point!

The passive skill of the Time Elder!
Time in a Bottle (Passive): Zilean stores time as experience points.

When he has enough experience points to level up an allied hero, he can level them up by right-clicking on that hero. Zilean himself will also gain an equivalent amount of experience points. Cannot be used in combat.

It's perfectly normal for Zilean's passive skill to be overlooked, because aside from being visible from a god's-eye view, this Lee Sin seemed to be offline, completely missing before the first gank. As for the change in style, that's even more normal.

In international competitions like the Asian Games, and in training matches, Xiangguo and Clearlove, both junglers, communicate the most.

Wolf and Letme have similar styles, but Clearlove and Mlxg are completely opposite!
In terms of vision control, the details of counter-ganking, and the prediction of the opponent's position, the factory manager shared his knowledge without reservation. Similarly, Xiangguo also explained his unique ability to judge timing very clearly.

Simply put, Xiangguo's ganks can be summed up in four words: unexpected!
This jungle strategy shouldn't be used frequently, but when it is used occasionally, it has a devastating effect, like the first atomic bomb.

Deft made an error of empiricism because he thought the factory manager was an old acquaintance and that it was impossible for him to be arrested now.

Given all these factors, if the Korean team's bot lane could still predict this gank, then their skill level wouldn't be amazing, but rather they'd be playing the game with a god-like perspective.

"The blind man doesn't have a recall ability, so we can go and take his resources in the upper jungle!"

Mata took over command and indicated that Peanut could go to the factory manager's top lane to stop the loss.

In fact, when the factory manager showed up to gank in the bottom lane, Peanut was farming the Krugs in the top half of the red side's jungle.

After determining that they couldn't gank top lane or support bottom lane, they cleared the Krugs and headed towards the blue side's upper jungle to steal the Gromp and Wolves that had spawned there.

After capturing the people, the blind man went alone to kill the first small dragon, the water dragon.

Exchange resources.

After taking down the dragon, the Blind Monk must clear Peanut's bottom half of the map; otherwise, despite being two levels ahead, the wasted time will allow Olaf to erase the advantage.

However, just as the bottom lanes on both sides started laning again...

Deft's Jinx, as usual, switched to the machine gun and came up to last-hit a minion, and Vayne then used her Q to come up.

Instinctively, Mr. Dai shuddered and stepped back, giving Vn the perfect angle to reach him.

Upon seeing this, the Minotaur immediately rushed forward and lifted Vn up.

Unfortunately, Mata never expected that his WQ combo would fail to repel Vayne and instead backfire.

Jinx was pushed against the wall by her E skill and entered a stunned state.

Jinx, still at level 4, hadn't recovered when she saw a blue beam of light shoot out from the bushes beside her.

The blind man used the same trick again, Q in, followed by a basic attack, and after Jinx regained mobility, he used E to slow her down, getting right in her face to ensure the kill was secured. This kill was once again taken by Li Luo.

"Damn it, is this Mr. Ming?"

Even with Deft's good composure, being hit twice in a row like this made him lose his composure. He was so angry that his face turned red.

The pilots received unprecedented treatment during their military training.

Compared to the difficulty of the top lane in military training, the bottom lane is simply hellish. After Lee Sin finished the dragon, he didn't even farm the jungle and came over to gank again.

Olaf has already cleared the top half of the jungle and has caught up in levels!
Isn't the blind man in a hurry?

Is this really a "starvation jungler" strategy? The kind where you don't need to farm after reaching level six?

The pilot grew angrier the more he thought about it, even feeling that leaving EDG was a mistake. The current Clearlove was like he had taken a super-powerful drug, suddenly becoming incredibly fierce.

With Vayne leading 2-0 at the start, it's clear she's going to take over the bot lane for this game.

If it were like the last game, where Deft got completely crushed by Uzi in a 2v2 match, he would only blame himself and think that his skill was lacking, and he wouldn't be angry. But now, being relentlessly ganked like this, his mentality is about to explode.

Of course, after killing Jinx, the factory manager went into the bushes to recall and buy some equipment.

There's a limit to how often you can gank, but not a third or fourth time. Jinx and Alistar will definitely play as cautiously as possible now, as continuing to gank won't be very beneficial.

Now, all they need to do is complete the final step of the "blooming" tactic he and Xiangguo researched, and they can turn their advantage into a victory.

After pushing all the minions to the tower, Li Luo immediately returned to base to buy equipment.

Aside from missing a few during the initial engagements, he managed to farm all the remaining minions, racking up two more kills. Upon returning to base, he immediately pulled out a small curved knife worth 1600 gold and a short sword, becoming incredibly wealthy.

However, logically speaking, if you want to continue to suppress Jinx's development, Vayne's best build in this version should actually be Infinity Edge and Statikk Shiv.

In all the games Vayne played in the LPL Spring Split, she never built Blade of the Ruined King.

But Li Luo still pulled out his small curved blade, intending to use the Ruined King's Blade.

When Vayne reappeared in the bottom lane, Deft and Mata instinctively retreated back to their tower.

Jinx currently only has a Doran's Blade, a Cull, and a Dagger, while Vayne has attack damage, attack speed, and lifesteal.

Level 6 vs. Level 5, Little Scimitar vs. Dolan, the pilot says he has a good grasp of the game.

He hadn't been this miserable in a long time during a competition in South Korea.

But this is not the point.

The key point is why Vayne chose the Blade of the Ruined King item against the meta.

In later versions, after Infinity Edge was nerfed and its critical strike damage was changed to true damage, Vayne returned to her Blade of the Ruined King and Guinsoo's Rageblade build.

Unless it's for snowballing?

Having figured this out, Mr. Dai was startled and quickly told Mata to go and set up a ward near the red team's tower.

When the blue team is pushing the lane, they are very easy to gank because the river is behind them. Similarly, when the red team is pushing the lane, they are also easy to gank because there is bush next to their tower.

Upon hearing this, Mata's Minotaur obediently went over to prepare for vision control.

A true eye fell.

This eye immediately revealed the blind man and the old man of time hidden in the grass.

“￥#T@&^#!@!”

The sudden appearance of two figures startled Mata so much that he almost dropped his mouse. His reflexes were so old that he even accidentally used Flash.

Mata quickly spoke a string of Korean words.

Although the group couldn't understand what was being said in rapidly spoken Korean, they could still tell from the few words that Mata was swearing.

The charm of League of Legends lies in the fact that even if you are a person with a good mentality, you will lose your composure and become a irritable guy after being subjected to such inhumane military training.

The second trick of the Time Blind is to mindlessly dive the tower!
With Lee Sin's ultimate (R) for finishing off enemies, Vayne's high damage output, and Zilean's ultimate (R) for resurrection, this lineup is practically unstoppable when it comes to tower diving.

A large wave of minions pushed into the tower, attracting aggro, and Lee Sin walked out brazenly, without using any skills, and mindlessly walked towards Jinx.

"Mr. Ming, you can't do this!!!"

When a powerful kick landed on Jinx's face, Deft, who had died three times in just two minutes, collapsed!
