Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 348 Bloodbath Rhythm, Deadly Blindness E
in the game.

This incredible gank by Spider secured First Blood, giving Zaozi and Meikou an advantage in the bottom lane, but it also took a toll on him.

The moment Xiaotian's Gragas saw the Spider peek out, he had already arrived in the red team's upper jungle, ready to steal the F6 and the Krugs.

Scout's Pantheon wanted to go and defend, but in the current version, because Pantheon was too overpowered in the S9 World Championship, the heavily nerfed Pantheon could only be pushed back by Nocturne in the early game.

Seeing that Nightmare wouldn't let him leave, Scout gritted his teeth and immediately unleashed an AQW combo to fight Nightmare head-on.

However, both of these heroes are basically incapable of solo-killing their opponents in the early game.

Pantheon couldn't chip away at Nightmare's health because his Q skill level wasn't high enough. He could only take down a little over half of Nightmare's health in one go, and then he had to wait for his skills to cool down.

Nightmare lacks chasing ability. In the early game, Nightmare's main source of damage, basic attacks, can be blocked by Pantheon's E, resulting in Nightmare also lacking some damage.

After a struggle, both of them were left with only a third of their health.

At this moment, Li Luo guessed the movement of the barrel. Seeing the fierce battle in the mid lane, he chose to turn around and go directly to steal the blue side's F6.

At this point, the FPX team had no idea that the Spider would dare to invade the enemy jungle, because it would be too damaging to their rhythm.

From God's perspective, the spider, after taking the medicine and using up its own punishment, combined with the experience gained from the river crab, reached level three.

At this point, Gragas had finished clearing the F6 camp and was hiding behind the wall, preparing to let Nightmare go home and lower Scout's guard, while he would unexpectedly use his E-Flash to instantly kill Pantheon.

After sensing the Nightmare's location, Li Luo controlled the spider to stick to the wall again. Just like buying a lottery ticket, he threw out his E skill and then, without even looking, chose to transform into spider form.

The next moment, Spider's second E skill descended from the sky and landed squarely on Nightmare's face, who had less than 300 health left under the tower!
Nightmare remained motionless, his gaze now fixed on both the top and bottom lanes.
This is also a drawback of FPX. Doinb is a team-oriented mid laner and captain, so he has to spend a lot of time judging the situation on the field and determining Xiaotian's next roaming route.

Many people think that FPX has become weaker in S10, but that's not the case. It's precisely because Riot Games weakened the mid lane priority that Doinb couldn't devote more attention to shot-calling, which caused FPX's seemingly invincible mid-jungle synergy to fall from T0 to the bottom of T1.

Because he needed to get home in Scout's face to lower his guard, Nightmare positioned himself very far forward, with one side of his body outside the turret.

Being so close to the tower, and with the shield from his W skill, Doinb never expected to be ganked or killed. Moreover, on FPX's minimap, Doinb even signaled towards the blue buff, indicating that Clearlove should have just finished taking the blue buff at that time.

But the spider came over without hesitation!
They're unreasonable and don't play by the rules!
Moreover, this human form E skill was extremely precise, based on the previously blocked vision, and it landed perfectly on Nightmare's face.

The Nightmare, who was still low on health, looked at the other paths...
When the screen suddenly turned red, by the time I realized what was happening, the screen had already become a black and white television.
EDG.clearlove7 killed Fpx.doinb
"Ashi."

This surprise attack startled Coin Bro, whose face was filled with astonishment.

"My God!! The factory manager's spider is too ruthless, how could it catch something like that?"

The scene was stunned. Even the player who had just been saying that the factory manager might be able to save Scout from dying was now completely dumbfounded.

Wow!

The crowd erupted in uproar, followed by thunderous applause.

"My God, the factory manager is getting too bold now, launching two consecutive offensives. This kind of rhythm, as far as I remember, even Edg in S5 wasn't this ruthless, right?" Miller, the data enthusiast, was completely dumbfounded.

"Does the factory manager not realize the consequences if he fails to catch Nightmare this time?"

"He blinded EE and instantly killed Doinb's Nightmare?"

The scene of the kill was even more bizarre. In short, in less than two seconds, the spider seemed to have activated a global cheat, flying out and biting Nightmare to death.
The Gragas, who was still preparing to flash out from behind the tower, was startled and abandoned his impulsive idea.

"Doinb was really bluffing to bait Scout, but Nightmare's vision had been gone for almost three seconds, and his position wasn't where he initially stopped. As a pro, Doinb's positioning and attention to detail were already incredibly careful. And this Spider was operating without vision, bro? How could he dare to do that?"

Not only did Wawa not understand why the Spider was so certain that Nightmare was there, but most of the LPL junglers watching the game at that moment also didn't quite understand.

"Director, switch to the replay and see if Spider's move was luck or skill."

In just a few minutes since the start of the game, the commentators have already asked the director to switch to the replay twice.

This demonstrates just how incredibly difficult the two ganks were.

The scene shifts, and the director cuts directly to the moment when the Spider has just finished clearing the jungle, just as Nightmare is about to retreat.

In Edg's red team vision, Nightmare first baited Pantheon by pressing B in a place where Pantheon could see him. When he saw that Pantheon did not fall for it, he turned around and walked towards the tower.

Then, Nightmare reached a safe position in front of the tower and pressed his recall button.

Seeing this, the director pressed pause and immediately switched to the red team's vision. Sure enough, Nightmare's position was completely obscured by the fog of war.

"No way, the factory manager is too meticulous this time. Is this even possible?"

This time, after watching the replay, Miller looked bitter, seemingly unable to believe that anyone could still do something like that.

"What's going on? Stop keeping us in suspense, everyone's waiting!" the child asked, her face full of curiosity.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason Clearlove was able to predict Doom's location this time wasn't just because of previous information, but more likely because of the minion wave's position. When that wave of minions went out just now, it was slightly different from the normal minion wave, so Clearlove grasped this information and roughly judged Nightmare's location. With a bit of luck and experience, he was able to predict it."

?

When I ask this question, I'm not saying I have a problem, but rather that you have a problem!
No way?
The doll looked incredulous and asked the director again for replay access.

In the main tournament, such replays will not be repeated, but considering it is the Demacia Cup, both teams are currently the most talked-about teams.

So the director still provided a second, more precise replay.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, sure enough, when this wave of minions appeared in the field of vision, the positions of the first two minions changed, but the third remained unchanged.

Therefore, we can conclude that when Coin returned to the shadows, he blocked the positions of two minions and arrived at the open area.

These details left the WE and LGD members, who were still preparing backstage, completely dumbfounded.

Is this the factory manager?

Is this the factory manager's spider?
This technique of manipulating vision—no, it should be called the art of manipulating vision—is simply a feast for the eyes of those watching the game.

"Edg!!!Edg!!!"

"77777777" "My God, what kind of rhythm is this? Is it a suffocating rhythm? Is this still the Clearlove who didn't move for 7 minutes last season?"

I'm dumbfounded.

"Wow, Edg is too strong right now! Lin Weixiang got caught once and was down 16 CS in 5 minutes, that doesn't make sense!"

Before Xiaotian could even make his first gank, Li Luo had already secured two kills. The contrast in pace was simply terrifying.

"Dude, you're amazing!"

The bottom laner was having a blast dominating, his smile stretching so wide that even Zaozi, standing behind him, was stunned when he saw there were no assists in the kill log.

No one expected Li Luo's spider to be so ferocious.

After all, in recent training matches, he has been playing front-line heroes to increase the variety of his team compositions, and rarely uses this kind of aggressive jungler.

The sudden revelation of this fact shocked his teammates!

"It's a minor issue. The Spider's jungle clear speed is too slow in this version, making it unsuitable for jungle clearing; it's better suited for farming enemy champions!"

Li Luo was also quite excited, with a bright smile on his face.

This is the first time he has used the skill of Clearlove to raise the mastery of all heroes to level 5 in the Korean server.

Compared to the experience of an AD carry reaching level 5, the only immediate feeling a jungler can get after reaching level 5 is—
confidence!

Once AD ​​marksman heroes reach level five, their mechanics will be greatly enhanced, bringing unparalleled proficiency.

But junglers are different. After reaching level 7, these heroes tend to improve their awareness. Like this blind E, under the influence of his inner will, he dared to attack confidently without even thinking.

The camera then focused on Li Luo, who was laughing, which immediately sent the audience into a frenzy.

"So handsome, Mingkai!!!"

"The factory manager is so awesome now, I love him!"

"Wow, many viewers may not know that the last time Clearlove played was on April 5th of this year. After 260 days, he's back!" In the commentary booth, Wawa exclaimed with emotion, "I can still remember that last time Clearlove played Gragas and was being dominated by Xiaopeng's Nidalee. But now, this state, this suffocating rhythm, is just too perfect!"

"He doesn't seem nervous at all," Miller commented.

On the other hand, the other teams that were hoping FPX would give EDG a taste of their own medicine were also disappointed.

"This is the FMVP? He's not even as good as a player who's about to retire. How did RNG not fall in the top 16 at last year's S9? It's all because of him."

Meanwhile, in the LGD arena, in the RNG training room where they were preparing for the match together, Xu Xiao made a careless complaint, completely unaware of the murderous glares directed at him from the side.

Even Ah Shui, who had just transferred to RNG, felt a sense of regret welling up from the bottom of his heart, for some reason.

After he joined RNG and played a few scrims, he realized just how much of a difference there was between this RNG team and IG.

First of all, Langx in the top lane is a natural point of collapse. As long as he faces a strong top laner, he will definitely be suppressed and beaten.

Although jungler Xiaolongbao has a seasoned playstyle and doesn't resemble a typical ranked player, he faces a major problem: a lack of competitive experience.

As for Xiaohu, the mid-laner, it goes without saying that General Tiger's tinnitus hasn't gotten better yet. If he plays more than three games in a row, he needs to rest for a long time to recover.

Seeing several familiar faces on the screen, Ah Shui felt a surge of envy.

At this point, EDG's three lanes are not at a natural disadvantage like RNG's are currently.

As a top-tier domestic top laner, Flandre didn't gain much advantage against Khan, but thanks to his early-game dominance with Renekton, he was able to hold his own against Khan even without a jungler.

Mid laner Scout completely dominates Doinb in lane, helping Clearlove create gank opportunities.

As for the bottom lane and jungle...
At this moment, the FPX players are the ones who feel the fear of being controlled the most!
This gank made Xiaotian's early jungle invasion a joke. The two ganks resulted in a clear difference in assists and kills, with the Spider leading Gragas by 500 gold on the gold panel.

For other positions, it might just be a difference of a longsword, but for a jungler, it's the most crucial point in setting the pace of the game.

500 yuan can allow a jungler to get their first jungle item a minute and a half earlier.

Given the already overpowered stats of the jungle item in the early game, combined with the damage from Elise, the consequences are predictable.

Most importantly, once Doinb loses his rhythm, FPX will be in an extremely difficult situation given their disadvantage in the bottom lane.

At least in the upcoming laning phase, facing a Pantheon who is half a level ahead, Nocturne's attempt to level up to 6 and take control of the game will inevitably be delayed for a while.

After finishing his blue buff at home, Li Luo chose to return to the city.

With a kill and an assist at this point, he was having a fantastic start.

First, he took out his jungle item, then bought a pair of luxury boots, placed a control ward, and headed to the top lane.

At this point, the Spider is level four, and both top laners are level five, making it the perfect time for the jungler to gank the top lane.

Otherwise, if this time point is missed and Fiora reaches level 6, the stability of her ganks will drop significantly, and she may very well give away a double kill due to a single Fiora play.

However, this gank has brought us to a point where strategic maneuvering is crucial.

It's not just FPX; even the commentators and viewers, anyone who's played even a little bit of LoL, know that picking the Elise/Rengar combo will definitely result in a brutal beating.

However, the opposing jungler isn't stupid either. If they rashly gank without knowing Xiaotian's location, they could easily be counter-ganked and get wiped out.

How to determine the location of the barrel, and how to make Fiora lower her guard.

Under the spotlight, Li Luo offered a solution that no one had anticipated.
I'll counter-gank you!
It sounds complicated, but it's very straightforward in the game. Li Luo, controlling the spider, just crouched in the tri-bush of the red team's top lane as if he were AFK, looking like he was outsmarting thin air.

"Clearlove's early game tempo was too strong, and now that Khan is playing so steadily, it seems like he has no way to deal with him. But we haven't seen Clearlove's counter-ganks in a long time, and seeing this for the first time makes me miss it a bit."

The Haier Brothers were both amused and exasperated by what they saw.

This is the kind of factory manager I know! No wonder he's always been so proactive; this is the kind of manager I'm talking about.
The two were about to chat and joke around when, before their smiles could even bloom, they were completely stunned by the sudden turn of events on the field!
