Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 304 What the heck is this damage?
"That exchange was brilliant. Skt probably doesn't even realize RNG's true intentions yet. Skt's bot laner went straight to the bot lane after recalling, falling right into RNG's trap!"

"This puppy is really clever. After it went online, the Skt team was completely dumbfounded." Looking at Kennen's silly look, Wawa couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

In the game, Skt reacted as soon as Taliyah and Pantheon appeared.

Seeing that the top lane was hopeless, the blind man immediately chose to steal Kindred's blue buff.

Both sides have already started laning online. Anyone who has played in the Gold rank knows that even if you can't get minions, you have to make sure you don't fall behind in experience, otherwise it will be very detrimental.

So when Kindred brazenly used her passive to mark Kennen, even though Kennen knew he was about to be tower-dived, there was nothing he could do.

"RNG's very successful level 1 team fight gave them the situation they wanted. Although they sacrificed the early development of the mid lane, overall, SKT has lost a crucial tempo point in the early to mid-game."

Even the usually quirky commentators from Europe and America praised this blatant scheme.

"But why do I feel like this doesn't quite fit RNG's bot lane personality?" another European and American commentator quickly remarked.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing his words, the three of them were slightly taken aback, and then realized that there seemed to be some truth to them.

It's not that RNG's top laner won't be sacrificed, but rather that RNG has always focused on the bottom lane as their main lane matchup, often using their strong bottom lane to gain an advantage.

Now that they have a strong combination of Pantheon and Taliyah, they should be ganking the bottom lane instead of going to the top lane to bully someone.

"Uzi got a kill in this wave, but he didn't choose to go back to base. I think after killing Kennen, RNG should still play normally in the laning phase."

Before the third commentator could finish speaking, cheers erupted from the audience.

Kennen, who was pinned under his tower and dared not even look at the minions, was finally about to face his first wave of minions in the top lane, but at the same time, he was also about to face three level 2 enemy champions.

Level 2 Pantheon, Level 2 Taliyah, Level 2 Kindred.

At this moment, Kindred had already moved in from behind the tower, clearly indicating that she would engage as soon as the minion wave reached the tower.

"RngRng is indeed going to dive this Kennen. Let's see how they handle this tower dive!"

In the video, Pantheon, equipped with the Aegis, is the first to enter the tower. He walks right up to Kennen's face, applies Ignite, and uses AQ to draw the tower's attention.

Kindred followed up with an AQ combo, dealing damage. After the first auto-attack from the turret shattered Pantheon's passive, Pantheon immediately used his W to stun Kennen, refresh his Aegis, and retreated away from the turret.

Pantheon's ability to tank towers without taking damage with two passive stacks is a fundamental skill, and for a top-tier player like Xiaoming, it's naturally no problem at all.

Within a second of Pantheon's immobilization, Li Luo controlled Taliyah to use her W to lift Kennen back, then activated her Q skill. The high damage was almost too much for Hanzi to react to, taking away his last bit of health.

The audience erupted in applause.

"My God, RNG pulled off a tower dive without taking any damage! Kennen died the whole time, and only Pantheon took one layer of tower damage. Is that even possible?" Wawa's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Kennen died again. He died twice in two minutes at this level. Meanwhile, Letme in the bot lane is almost level three, bro." Changmao added at the right time, "How can we play like this? Blank's Lee Sin is farming the red side's blue buff. He definitely won't be able to support next wave. How can we play like this?"

"Should we kill them again, or go home?"

in the game.

After Kennen died again, Xiaoming asked mischievously, clearly addicted to killing Kennen this time.

"Stop messing around, let's go home and stick to the previous tactics!"

Upon hearing Li Luo's command, Xiao Ming no longer hesitated. Pantheon and Taliyah stood in the bushes and began to recall. At the same time, Ornn, who was under pressure in the bottom lane, also chose to recall after pushing the minion wave out.

With a perfectly executed teleportation maneuver, Ornn, returning to base, teleported directly to the top lane, managing to control the minion wave just before Kennen arrived.

Tier 3 Ornn, Tier 1 Kennen.

From the start of the game, RNG finally achieved its goal: as long as Skt's mid and jungle weren't idiots, they would no longer shift the focus of the game to the top lane, but would only try to gain an advantage in the bottom lane where they were still developing.

"RNG did a great job pushing the lane and going up in this wave, but unfortunately Khan was playing very cautiously, so it looks like it will be difficult for Xiangguo to catch him," Wawa said with some regret.

"However, Kennen's development is destined to be constantly suppressed by Ornn this game. Hmm, Skt's bot lane is having a tough time right now." As the director switched the camera, Miller said with some amusement, "Did Bang and Wolf fall into RNG's trap?"

"If your bot lane minion wave is under RNG's tower and you get hit by Pantheon's W, it's extremely dangerous for either Alistar or Lucian!"

in the game.

Because of Letme's ability to withstand pressure, the minion wave in the bottom lane was kept near RNG's tower, which is on the red side.

This is exactly the situation that Taliyah and Pantheon like the most. If the opponent makes a careless move and gets hit by Taliyah's W or Pantheon's W, they will either die or be seriously injured.

Conversely, even if you miss your skills, you're not afraid, since you're under your own tower and have a perfect margin for error.

After two waves of minions passed, Pantheon's strong pressure indeed made Bang a bit uncomfortable, and he even missed 4 last hits.

Just as the bottom lane was still struggling with their decision, another piece of good news arrived.

Rng.letme killed Skt.khan
This caused Skt's bot lane to suddenly lose their composure.

Ornn solo-killed Kennen in lane? Are you kidding me?

At first, Hanzi was full of confidence before the match, thinking that even if he couldn't gain an advantage against Letme, he wouldn't do too badly. To put it bluntly, in Hanzi's mind, Letme was no match for him at all.

Of course, even IG's TheShy, in Hanzi's opinion, is someone he can easily dominate.

Unexpectedly, he was caught and killed twice right at the start of the game, falling behind by two levels, something that had never happened before in the LCK.

The classic LPL-style military training left the guy with a lot of bumps on his head. But when he went online, he underestimated Ornn's damage in order to last hit, and was instantly killed by Ornn while at half health.

"Be careful on the road, don't give away free kills."

Wolf, who was in the bottom lane, couldn't help but say something when he saw this.

"??? It's not that I'm unstable, it's just that he's level four and I'm only level two. How am I supposed to compete?"

Upon hearing this, Hanzi was so aggrieved that he almost cried.

wolf: "."

"Don't panic. The bottom lane has a decent advantage this game. Just use your ultimate in team fights later. Don't give them any more chances, or we'll just win the game," Faker, who was in the mid lane, said calmly after switching screens.

Before the match, when coach Kkoma told Khan with high hopes that he would be responsible for the damage in this game, Faker felt it was a bit unreliable, and now it seems that he was even more so.

From initially relying on his damage output to now simply needing to unleash his ultimate, his situation in this match has changed dramatically in just three minutes, like going from heaven to hell. Meanwhile, Lee Sin has also finished clearing RNG's bottom jungle, but Kindred's mark has been placed on the top side of the river crab, which is a further blow to SKT.

"RNG should have located the blind man's position by now!"

In the commentary booth, Long Hair, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly blurted out a sentence.

By observing whether the enemy jungler's last hits are odd or even, and combining this with the direction of jungle clearing, one can deduce the jungler's location and route. This is basically a required course for professional junglers.

If you also have access to your own jungle, knowing where the enemy jungler is is absolutely crucial. It's no exaggeration to say that junglers from teams that make it to the S-series knockout stage can pinpoint the enemy jungler's location using this information.

but
"Skt also guessed Xiangguo's approximate location," Changmao said. "We can see that after the junglers on both sides finished clearing their jungle camps, Skt's top and mid laners retreated a bit, and RNG's mid and bot laners also retreated at the same time. Xiaoming even set up vision for that area."

"Therefore, both sides can determine the approximate location of the opposing jungler."

"Isn't that meaningless?" Wawa directly asked what many viewers were thinking.

"No, for Kindred, spotting his location isn't very useful. On the contrary, Lee Sin is a champion who needs a lot of tempo in the early game. If he can't make any moves in the early game, he's likely to be out of sorts. It all depends on the decisions of the junglers on both sides in the first wave."

Before Longhair could answer, Miller shook his head, thus helping the doll answer the question.

Kindred's gank routes largely depend on the marking of marks, and once a mark is marked, the enemy basically knows you're about to make a move.

But the blind are different. Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. During the time between the first round and the second round, the blind cannot do anything, and they are basically already at a disadvantage on the field.

"Let's wait and see, I think RNG and Skt will make their move in the bottom lane soon!"

As soon as Changmao finished speaking, Kindred and Lee Sin, who had returned home and replenished their equipment, headed towards the bottom lane in unison.

At the same time, Li Ge's Ice Maiden also quickly started pushing the lane.

In ranked games, many people wouldn't notice such details, but in a match, RNG immediately noticed Skt's idea.

Four packages for two?
Xiaohu quickly reported a fast push in the mid lane, but because they lacked lane priority and teleport, they could only hope that the bottom lane could make a play.

This is also the predicament many teams faced when facing FPX in S9.

"Senju, watch out for Kindred, don't let him see you," Faker warned, simultaneously signaling as he recalled to base, "Kindred probably knows we're going to take over."

"OK," Blank nodded, and at the perfect distance, placed his control ward in the triangular bush near the red team's turret.

This position is an excellent four-man TP point, and it can be described as extremely insidious.

But Skt never expected that the situation in RNG's team voice chat was completely different from what they thought.

"Who should we kill first? Crystal Maiden or Lucian?" Xiangguo asked with a smile, looking at the blind man squatting on his eye.

"Kill the bull's head! Kill the bull's head!"

"What if it can't be killed?"

"If I don't die, Yan Junze will livestream me running naked," Xiao Ming chuckled.

"Get lost! If Faker dares to teleport here, just kill him!" Xiangguo gestured to the ward that Blank had placed earlier.

The harmonious atmosphere and playful banter showed no sign of the anxiety that came from knowing the opposing team was going to gank two from four.

Skt also made a clean play, without flanking or waiting for any opportunity. Crystal Maiden directly chose the ward position of Teleport, and Lee Sin also circled around at the same time.

"?" Under the light of Skt's ward, Faker saw that RNG's three members were advancing instead of retreating, and a question mark appeared in his mind, as if he sensed that something was wrong.

Before he could react, Pantheon flashed with golden light and immediately used Flash W.

Divine Shield Strike

The mindless control stunned Lissandra the moment she landed. As a targeted stun, in League of Legends, once the skill is released, there is no way to dodge it.

Therefore, even though Li Ge reacted quickly and used his W, he was still stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, the blind man behind him quickly used his W ability to reach out and cast a shield on Faker.

However, just as the blind man reached out, Li Luo, controlling Taliyah, also used Flash to unleash the WEQ combo.

【rock protrusion】

The direction in which this rock protrusion was raised was towards the direction of the scattered stones, which brought the Ice Maiden and the Blind Man together.

In a single second, exactly 962 HP, the Ice Maiden melted instantly, and the Blind Monk, with 1170 HP, was reduced to only 330.

Even at this moment, Pantheon's E skill, Heartpiercer, was still firing non-stop.

The high damage output was enough to instantly kill the Ice Maiden in the early game, and even exceeded that amount.

"My God, no way??? I didn't see that wrong, did I? Taliyah and Pantheon's first burst actually killed Lissandra instantly? This bot lane is only level 4, dude, and Taliyah and Pantheon can already kill people?" Wawa's mouth dropped open, completely stunned by what he saw.

"This is a huge turn of events! Skt's four-man gank on the second lane hasn't even started yet, and it's already over. The damage output from Taliyah and Pantheon is incomprehensible. Kindred hasn't even engaged yet, and both of them are already melting!"

In the blink of an eye, Alistar and Lucian, who had pushed the lane into the tower, were dumbfounded.

To go or not to go, the question suddenly appeared before them.

Going up means engaging in a 3v3 battle under the opponent's tower, and Skt's 3 has a large, weakened enemy.

If they don't play? That means the blind man will be sold out, and SKT will suffer a 0-for-2 exchange, a huge loss.

"Anivia is gone. Lucian has run away too. This SKT 4v2 gank is over before it even started!"

At this point, the situation could no longer be controlled and completely erupted!
"RNG! Awesome!!! Awesome!!"

"Holy crap, is that even possible? This combination can wipe out opponents in one hit?"

"When did Taliyah buy the Murder Ring? Holy crap, and a Blazing Wand too, that's way too much!"

"That puppy is awesome!"

This is sure!

This is what everyone is thinking right now, and it's the only thought after seeing Taliyah's incredibly exaggerated damage!
Can anyone tell me what this damage is?
