Chapter 143 Zhou Dian suffered a major setback

Mlxg's Gragas, after protecting Renekton and getting most of the tower kills, retreated directly into the jungle.

This is something Zhou Dian witnessed firsthand.

However, after all the red minions under RNG's top tower were killed, Gragas returned to the tower.

Then, following the momentum, they went straight into the bushes on the path.

The audience below the stage erupted in cheers upon seeing Mlxg's sudden comeback.

"No way, is Xiangguo playing this insanely? He's camping like that?" Guan Zeyuan was stunned. "Is he abandoning the bottom jungle? If he doesn't get the kill, Gragas will explode!"

"It seems we won't give up until we catch Lucian today!" Su Xiaoyan added.

"I think there's a high chance that Xiangguo will be able to ambush Gragas this time. We can only see Gragas's movements from God's perspective, but the LGD players on the field have no idea that Gragas is still there!"

Zhou Dian really didn't expect this.

He knew that Mlxg was a very ruthless person when it came to arresting people.

However, he still underestimated the extent of Mlxg's madness.

Lucian gradually made his way online.

At this moment, the lane minions meet at the midpoint, and Lucian begins to last-hit minions.

Meanwhile, Letme's crocodile had already returned to base to resupply.

At this moment, he teleported to his own top tower and then walked towards the minion wave.

"Here it comes! Zhou Shen doesn't seem to realize it!" Guan Zeyuan's voice unconsciously grew louder.

"With Crocodile using Teleport like that, no one could have imagined that Gragas was still on the top lane!" Su Xiaoyan said.

Indeed, the crocodile's teleport completely eliminated any possibility of revealing the location of the barrel.

If the crocodile were a minion teleporting directly to Lucian's face, it would be a perfect opportunity for him to teleport.

Perhaps there's a tiny, slight possibility that Zhou Dian sensed something was wrong.

How dare you project your teleportation onto my face!
However, the crocodile happened to be a teleportation tower, and then it walked up.

Letme's apparent weakness in teleportation ensured that Mlxg's gank would succeed.

The crocodile walked close to the minion wave and began to attack the minions continuously, his rage value slowly increasing.

After Zhou Dian and Letme spent a short while in peace, Zhou Dian controlled Lucian to move forward and prepare to suppress and wear down the crocodile.

Your jungler isn't here, so it's impossible for you to have it this easy!

However, this time the crocodile showed no sign of retreating.

He immediately used his E skill to charge towards Lucian.

Zhou Dian's reaction was still very quick. Lucian slid to the side and back (E) to dodge the crocodile's E attack.

At the same time, he fired two basic attacks at the crocodile.

However, this time, the crocodile's E attack didn't hit Lucian.

But at least we ran into a low-level soldier.

Therefore, the crocodile has a second E attack.

However, the crocodile did not use its second E skill to follow up with Lucian.

It also did not use the second stage E to pull back.

Instead, it unleashed a giant crocodile attack (Q) on the spot.

This Q skill, naturally, didn't hit Lucian.

The skill's edge is a bit too far from Lucian's.

Zhou Dian's first reaction was that Letme had made a mistake.

But then I immediately thought that Letme's alligator play was pretty good.

The match has only been going on for a few minutes, and there shouldn't be such a basic mistake as not even being able to judge the range of Renekton's Q skill!
The crocodile's Q didn't hit Lucian, but it hit a circle of red minions around him.

This Q skill grants the crocodile 10 rage points.

This caused the crocodile's rage level to reach the red rage state.

Then, the crocodile flashed and used its red-rage W ability to bite Lucian.

Lucian was stunned and remained motionless.

Then, the barrel emerged from the bushes along the line.

"Holy crap, Mlxg, you're a real freak!" That was Zhou Dian's first reaction.

Zhou Dian knew he couldn't escape this time, so he didn't bother using Flash to try and escape.

After Renekton's EQ combo misses, even with the chain of crowd control from Renekton's W (red rage) and Gragas' E (e), it's still useless.

It's impossible for RNG's top and jungle to kill Lucian within the time limit.

Even if he wasn't killed, Lucian's health would definitely be very low.

At that time, Gragas will still have Flash, and Renekton will have his second E ability ready.

Lucian, with low health, used Flash, but still died.

It's better to save Flash, which can also be used to deal with the next gank from that madman Mlxg.

Therefore, after being out of control.

Zhou Dian neither ran away nor made any meaningless counterattacks.

Instead, he controlled Lucian and used the last bit of time before dying to finish off two low-health blue minions.

Then, Lucian was killed by the crocodile.

First Blood!
The game's notification sound echoed throughout the venue.

When Letme's Renekton secured First Blood, the RNG fans in the audience erupted in cheers.

"Zhou Shen's thinking is quite clear; he knows he can't escape!"

"He didn't even use Flash, and he even managed to last-hit two minions to make up for the loss of being caught and killed!" Guan Zeyuan joked.

"Even if he flashes, he can't escape!" Su Xiaoyan added. "Fortunately, Lucian still has Teleport, so Zhou Shen's loss isn't that great!"

"The main issue is that the crocodile got 400 gold for first blood, so Lucian might not be able to suppress the crocodile in the subsequent laning phase!"

"If Lucian is playing top lane and can't suppress Renekton in lane, then he doesn't seem to be that valuable!"

Unlike the commentators, who were already discussing the aftermath of Mlxg's gank.

Most viewers in the live broadcast room were still discussing Mlxg's gank.

[Zhou Shen is in big trouble now!]

[Holy crap, is this guy even human? He's ganking like this?!]

[Insane! I can only say, Gragas' gank was absolutely insane!]

[Mlxg is like this!]

[I can't take it, I really can't take it! Zhou Shen must be completely bewildered! Who the hell camps people like this? He's incredibly good at it!]

[Mlxg's only strength is his gambling-style ganks. He either completely destroys the enemy team or he destroys himself!]

[Indeed, if they hadn't caught Zhou Shen this time, the entire lower jungle would have been invaded by the jungler, and Gragas would have been at a huge disadvantage!]

[But Xiangguo just keeps catching people, isn't that infuriating?]

[Hehe, HZ, don't be so arrogant. What's the use of helping a piece of trash? Just wait and see, even the Crocodile who got First Blood can't beat Zhou Shen!]

Hehe, I'm waiting!

【.】

After killing Lucian, Mlxg pressed the B key to recall. After replenishing his equipment, Gragas went back out and headed straight for his own Krugs.

Ming went to check the Krugs earlier, and RNG's Krugs were not countered by Eimy.

"Looks like the jungler is a bit timid; he doesn't dare to counter the Stone Golem!" Mlxg thought to himself.

However, F6 is out of the question; it has definitely been reversed.

Eimy controlled both river crabs and stole one of RNG's F6 camps. His own jungle is almost completely cleared out now.

Therefore, in terms of jungle level, Eimy is already almost one and a half levels ahead of Mlxg.

For Mlxg, it was simply a matter of getting the first blood, and he only got the assist, not the gold for the first blood.

Compared to the gap I've fallen behind in jungle clearing, I'm actually at a slight disadvantage.

Of course, Mlxg doesn't feel like he lost out.

Because the person he killed had the ID "Zhou".

If it can limit Zhou's development, then it's not a loss.

Lucian's first blood was actually given to Renekton by Gragas stopping his attack at the last moment.

Mlxg figured that once the crocodile got the first blood, it would immediately reach level six and enter another period of strong power.

Even if Letme's Renekton doesn't manage to overpower Lucian, at least he won't be overpowered by Lucian later on.

This is what Mlxg asked of Letme when they were facing off against him at the top of the week.

Even if the hero you pick has decent laning ability.

Even if you get the first blood.

Mlxg simply hopes that Letme won't be overwhelmed in future 1v1 matches.

Anyway, I'll definitely have to gank the top lane again.

Letme's B, as long as he can hold his own, is fine.

After clearing the Krugs, Mlxg wandered around the bottom lane area for a bit.

There aren't many opportunities to gank LGD's bot lane duo.

So Mlxg maneuvered the barrel to the upper half of the board.

After taking down the three wolves that had already spawned, Gragas once again arrived near the top lane.

At this moment, Lucian once again pinned the crocodile against the tower.

However, Mlxg can understand.

After all, the crocodile hadn't gone back to base to convert the first blood gold into equipment after getting the first blood.

After Lucian respawns and teleports out, he doesn't lose too much experience and can continue to pressure Renekton before Renekton reaches level six.

This is normal.

However, as soon as the barrel approached the top lane, Lucian retreated.

It seems like I had eye surgery.

The wine barrel walked into the grass in the upper river channel.

I saw a red square true sight ward inside.

After clearing the true sight ward placed by Lucian, Gragas immediately retreated.

As soon as the ward was destroyed, Zhou Dian immediately controlled Lucian to go there and place a trinket ward.

Sure enough, Lucian pushed forward again.

Then the barrel suddenly turned around and launched a counterattack.

However, since he was spotted early on, Lucian was naturally not caught this time.

Seeing the Gragas roaming back and forth near the top lane again amused many viewers in the live chat.

[[All] LGDZhou: Gragas, is top lane your daddy?]

[Haha, if I encountered a jungler like that on the opposing team, I would definitely type that in the public chat!]

[Maybe that's exactly what Zhou Shen is thinking, it's just a pity we can't post it in the public chat during the competition!]

[You'll be fined for posting in the public chat during the competition!]

[Zhou Shen must be furious. He's completely helpless against a jungler like Mlxg, who's like a persistent leech!]

Letme grinned! You thought you were so tough? What good is being tough anyway!

In this world, connections matter. I have a jungler, do you?

[Something's not right. The jungler usually likes to help the top lane, so why isn't he coming today?]

[The bot lane is under too much pressure, they're calling for the jungler! Who doesn't feel pressured laning against Uzi?]

[I'm speechless! You guys are really going to seize any opportunity to blatantly praise Uzi!]

【.】

Back to the game.

Mlxg thought to himself, "This kid has pretty good awareness of avoiding ganks!"

If catching someone doesn't work, then the only option is to dive the tower.

"Can we trade some health and push the minion wave to the tower at the same time?" Mlxg asked Letme.

Upon hearing this, Letme quickly said, "Huh? I can't push him! I can't beat Lucian right now, I'm not even level six yet!"

Before Mlxg could speak, Letme continued, "It's okay, no need to rush to help me. I can get to level six in a minute and turn the tide!"

The crocodile's experience from eating human heads is now ahead of Lucian's in experience points.

He was able to reach level six before Lucian.

"I'm going to farm the jungle now, are you sure you can handle it?" Mlxg said.

"No problem, feel free to upvote!"

Letme is incredibly confident right now; he even thinks he can get a solo kill on Lucian in the sixth round.

At least you can force Lucian to use Flash.

Damn it, you like to bully those with short arms, don't you!

You'll see if I kill you or not, and that'll be the end of it.

Seeing Letme's confidence, Mlxg decided to relax and farm the jungle for a while.

Letme felt he could hold his own in lane, so his initial efforts to target LGD's top laner had already shown initial success.

His current experience level is indeed far behind Eimy's.

We need to hurry up and clear the jungle to catch up.

We can't keep going around in circles on the road.

After all, the enemy mid and jungle aren't dead. If they get counter-ganked, they might just collapse.

So he decided to bury himself in grinding for two minutes to reach level six.

Even if the crocodile is still suppressed at that time.

But with Gragas' ultimate, he can come to the top lane again and use E-Flash-R to kill Lucian in one fell swoop.

After this kill, the crocodile's Flash will be ready again, allowing him to continue killing.

Mlxg had already planned out a series of deadly moves to defeat Zhou Dian.
