Chapter 165 Zhou Shen's skills are always for killing!

Ai Luoli was also wondering why the little cannon didn't use its ultimate move to push him away.
But since the small cannon didn't magnify, he was happy to see that.

The male gunner started firing at the cannon.

Although it can't kill a small cannon.

But it seems to have some effect.

It's better than doing nothing during a gank and just watching Mouse's Gragas make a fool of himself.

At least I managed to hit the small cannon a few times, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Graves chased Tristana all the way, eventually driving her into the tower, before Ai Luoli finally controlled Graves to retreat.

Zhou Dian also pressed the B key, and the low-health Tristana recalled to base under the tower.

Xiao Pao's decision not to use his ultimate move left many viewers in the live stream quite puzzled.

What does this mean, Zhou Shen?

[Can't hold back anymore? You like getting beaten up, huh?]

Why isn't Little Cannon using his ultimate skill?!

[I don't know, maybe Zhou Shen's thinking is off!]

Boss, he's not zooming in!

[A bear shrugging.jpg]

[No way, Seven hasn't even played yet, and you're already making fun of her!]

[Isn't this EDG playing a match right now? If they don't exploit Clearlove, who else should they exploit?]

【.】

It's not just the audience who don't understand Zhou Dian's actions.

In the commentary box.

Hao Kai said, somewhat puzzled, "Little Cannon has an ultimate move, why doesn't Zhou Shen use it?"

"I really didn't understand it!" Wang Duoduo added, "If you use your ultimate early to push Graves away, Tristana can continue laning. We don't need to go back this wave!"

Finally, Wang Duoduo added, "Perhaps Zhou Shen has his own reasons!"

Wang Duoduo added this sentence, emphasizing meticulousness.

You shouldn't be too certain about anything.

Wang Duoduo deeply understands this principle.

However, Hao Kai thought differently. Upon hearing Wang Duoduo's words, he immediately said:
"There's no need to think about it. It must have been Zhou Shen's mistake. He forgot about the ultimate ability to push away Graves!"

"Perhaps!" Wang Duoduo smiled.

At this moment, the countdown for the little cannon's recall ended, and it disappeared from its original spot, returning to the blue team's fountain.

After using the money he had to buy the yellow cross.

Zhou Dian controlled the small cannon to walk back to the line.

The teleportation wasn't working, so I had to walk.

At this moment, in the top lane, Mouse's Gragas was pushing the lane one wave at a time.

The Graves didn't help Gragas push the lane; instead, he went straight back to the jungle to farm.

Ai Luoli isn't a pure solo player like SofM, so she doesn't have to charge her teammates a toll when ganking in matches.

Even if you're playing a champion like Graves.

Mouse's Gragas, while not great at pushing lanes and rather slow, is still a strong pick.

However, given the minion wave situation in the top lane at the time, if Gragas pushed slowly by himself, he could probably push the top lane minion wave into LGD's top tower by the time Tristana returned to the lane.

Therefore, Mouse did not actively ask Ai Luoli to help him push the lane.

Ai Luoli also had no intention of messing up her teammates' minion waves.

Naturally, after the gank ended, he returned to his own jungle immediately.

When the small cannon that had come up on foot entered the range of LGD's top tower.

A wave of red team minions had already gathered in front of LGD's top lane tower.

Furthermore, only one LGD minion remained blocking the red team's minion wave.

Mouse timed this wave push well, pushing the minion wave into the enemy turret just before Tristana came online.

Seeing the cannon poke out, Gragas immediately used Drunken Frenzy (W).

Then, a basic attack with the W skill effect was unleashed.

They smashed the last low-health LGD minion in front of them to death.

The cannon is still some distance from the minion wave, so it can't block the wave.

The minion wave has been successfully pushed into LGD's top tower.

With the lane push complete, Mouse, controlling Gragas, turned and walked away.

After seeing the Gragas use his W skill, Zhou Dian immediately pressed the W key.

The cannon uses Rocket Jump (W) to leap forward.

This wave can kill Gragas!

This was Zhou Dian's judgment in an instant.

When Mouse saw the little cannon suddenly jump forward, his first reaction was that Zhou Dian was trying to force his way up and block the lane.

Because at this moment, there is still a considerable distance between the barrel and the cannon.

The Tristana's W skill cannot directly sit on a barrel that has already turned around and walked away.

It's a bit short.

However, it's possible to land next to the minion wave.

Then, while there are only one or two minions inside the tower, you can physically pull the wave of minions away from the tower.

This achieves the effect of locking the wire.

Anyone who saw Xiaopao jump would have the same reaction.

It couldn't be that they wanted to hit the barrel, could it?

This full-health barrel is impossible to kill, and it delays my last-hitting under the tower.

Mouse thought so too.

Mouse didn't care about the little cannon's attempt to block the lane.

Card!

I'd love for you to freeze the line!
At that time, I will only lose the experience and gold of a few soldiers.

But my top lane tower is safe now, and I don't have to let Tristana push it anymore.

Actually, Mouse should have understood this since he thought of it.

It's impossible for Zhou Dian to try and block the lane in this game.

They've been pushing EDG's top tower for so long, bearing a huge risk of being ganked.

How could they suddenly change their playstyle now and start controlling the lane?

On the large screen at the scene.

As Tristana's W skill was about to land, she applied an explosive spark (E) to Gragas.

After landing, he immediately landed a basic attack on the Gragas.

"Damn it, why aren't you replenishing your troops? What are you doing coming up to attack me? Are you crazy?" Mouse was also a little puzzled.

However, Mouse didn't stop for a moment, pressing the EQ skill repeatedly.

The barrel makes a forward bouncy impact (E), creating distance between itself and the cannon while simultaneously throwing a rolling barrel behind it (Q).

Seeing this, Haokai said, "The Tristana's W skill didn't hit Gragas, Zhou Shen, is it unnecessary to chase after him and harass him? The minion wave is already inside the tower!" "It's not like we can kill Gragas, and he's going to recall anyway, so there's no point in taking any damage from him!"

Indeed, as Haokai said.

Because the distance was too far, the cannon's rocket jump (W) did not hit the barrel, so it could not slow down the barrel.

After Gragas uses his EQ combo, Tristana can no longer auto-attack Gragas.

The barrel's EQ combo.

Simultaneously with using E, use Q.

This is a basic combo that every Gragas player must know.

However, to execute this combo like Mouse, simultaneously using E forward and Q backward, requires a high level of skill and fast reflexes.

If you don't have fast hands, after pressing E forward, you can't immediately drag the mouse back behind you.

The little cannon had just auto-attacked the Gragas a second time when it was hit by the Gragas's Q.

Just when everyone thought the journey would end with a brief exchange,

But something unexpected happened.

When Gragas' Q skill rolled to Tristana's feet, Mouse instantly detonated the Q skill.

At the same moment, a yellow light flashed.

There was an uproar at the scene.

What is Zhou Dian trying to do?
The little cannon flashed forward.

He dodged out of the range of the rolling barrel (Q) and was not hit by the barrel's Q skill.

Naturally, it was not slowed down.

At the same time, the small cannon that flashed forward also closed the distance between itself and the barrel.

Mouse then sensed that something was wrong.

He hurriedly maneuvered the barrel and ran down the tower without looking back.

As soon as Xiao Pao used Flash, he sensed the murderous aura that Zhou Dian seemed to be overflowing.

"They shouldn't be able to kill me, right? I'm almost at full health!" Mouse thought to himself with a bit of trepidation.

As it ran forward, Mouse pressed the tab key to take another look.

Anyway, he just clicks the right mouse button and presses Tab to check the equipment bar, which doesn't affect the barrel's movement forward.

Seeing that the little cannon only had two random pieces of the Statikk Shiv and no attack power items, Mouse was completely relieved.

If this little cannon wants to kill itself, how many hits would it have to take?
Damn it, even if you flash to close the distance, you can still auto-attack a few more times.

However, after Zhou Dian used Flash to dodge Gragas' Q skill, he had already quickly completed the damage calculation in his mind.

That was a really powerful attack!

From the beginning until now, Tristana has never used her Q skill.

Therefore, the attack speed is not considered fast.

Even if Flash closes the distance between you and Gragas a little, you still need to use Q to increase attack speed.

At most, it'll only take two hits from an A-grade barrel.

Then, the barrel, which kept running forward, was about to walk out of the cannon's basic attack range.

However, those two moves are enough!
After two basic attacks, plus the two basic attacks before the Flash.

The cannon detonated the explosive sparks (E) hanging on the barrel's head.

The Tristana's E skill, which exploded at full power, directly reduced Gragas's health by a significant amount.

But that's not the most important thing.

Most importantly, after Tristana uses her E skill, her W skill can be refreshed.

boom!
The little cannon jumps from the spot, leaps high into the air, and performs a second rocket jump (E) in a short time, landing on the barrel's head.

next moment.

Snapped!
Xiao Pao sat directly on the head of the barrel.

A gasp of surprise immediately erupted at the scene.

By this time, everyone could see it.

Zhou Shen wasn't just acting on a whim and wanting to hit the wine barrel a couple of times.

Instead, they want to kill the barrel!

Rocket Jump (W) lands next to Gragas, knocking him down and taking away dozens of health points while also slowing him down by 60%.

Next, Tristana activated Rapid Fire (Q), gaining a 65% attack speed bonus.

He unleashed a barrage of attacks on the barrel.

The barrel's health bar kept decreasing.

The noise from the audience grew louder and louder.

However, when the health bar dropped to one-third, it had already walked into its own upper tower.

Is it really possible to tower dive and kill Gragas?
After attacking twice more, the cannon followed and chased into the turret.

After taking some damage from the turret, Tristana attacked the Gragas twice more.

The barrel's health is below 200, and Tristana is about to be unable to attack it.

However, with Gragas's health, Tristana can easily finish him off with one ultimate.

At this point, the audience seemed to understand why Tristana hadn't used her ultimate against Graves.

So that's what they were waiting for!
A huge shell was fired from the cannon barrel in the gunner's hand, and Devastating Shot (R) headed straight for the barrel.

Suddenly, the barrel raised the large wooden barrel in its hand and began to drink.

It's Gragas' W skill – Drunken Frenzy.

At this crucial moment, Gragas' W skill was off cooldown.

The EDG audience members below the stage were secretly delighted.

LGD viewers felt a chill run down their spines.

Because Gragas gains damage reduction when using his W skill, and for 2.5 seconds after using his W skill.

It's probably because of this damage reduction that Tristana's ultimate ability couldn't kill Gragas.

next moment.

Snapped!
The little cannon's ultimate ability pushed the barrel far away.

However, the barrel that was thrown into the air still had a trace of blood left.

Sure enough, Tristana's ultimate couldn't kill Gragas who had used W.

However, even with Zhou Dian's skill level, the barrel was left with only this little bit of health.

How could he not have considered Gragas' W skill, thus making a mistake!

Along with the ultimate skill, Tristana also fired a basic attack.

RA is a very basic, yet very easy-to-mistake, combo for Tristana.

The Gragas, who was pushed away by Tristana's ultimate and landed with a sliver of health, was then hit by Tristana's auto-attack.

This basic attack took away the last bit of health from the Gragas.

The noise from the audience reached its peak at this moment.

The scene was filled with cheers and screams from LGD fans, as well as disappointment and regret from EDG fans.

In the commentary box.

After Haokai finished recounting at the top of his lungs the play where Tristana solo-killed Gragas,
Wang Duoduo excitedly shouted, "This is Zhou, the first LPL regular season MVP! Zhou's skills are always saved for killing, not for escaping!"
