Chapter 180 Tanky Yasuo, terrifyingly powerful!
After pushing the mid-lane minion wave to EDG's mid-lane tower, Zhou Dian immediately recalled to base.

There was no follow-up to Tower A.

He figured Varus should be arriving soon.

Sure enough, Yasuo retreated to the river bush on the left side of the mid lane and started counting down to recall.

Zet's Varus appeared under EDG's mid-lane tower.

Eight seconds later, Yasuo returned to the red team's fountain.

This wave resulted in the loss of the first tower's gold, plus a kill on Ryze, and two more waves of minions in the mid lane.

Yasuo also had a lot of money.

Zhou Dian directly bought the Green Cross and Cloth Armor Shoes.

After buying another control ward, Yasuo headed straight for the bottom lane.

At this point, among LGD's top, mid, and bottom lanes, the bottom lane no longer has a tower.

Therefore, the bottom lane is the most dangerous lane.

LGD's three lanes.

The best and safest lane for development is definitely reserved for imp's Caitlyn.

With the first tower still standing, the relatively safe top lane minions were given to Wei Shen's Taliyah to push.

As for the bottom lane, which is the most dangerous after losing the first tower, it will naturally be handled by Zhou Dian's Yasuo.

Firstly, Zhou Dian's awareness of preventing ganks is the best in the LGD team.

In this situation, he usually handles the more dangerous flanks.

Secondly, Yasuo now has the Phantom Dancer and Ninja Tabi, so he can be considered to have taken initial shape.

If they encounter a crocodile, it will be a one-on-one fight between the two of them.

If it's a straight-up fight, Yasuo probably still won't be able to beat Renekton.

After all, at this stage of ten minutes or so, the crocodile's ultimate ability is still incredibly powerful in a one-on-one fight.

But as long as there is a wave of minions nearby.

Zhou Dian is extremely confident that he can easily manipulate the dead crocodile.

A few minutes ago, Yasuo wouldn't have had a chance to control Renekton if he didn't have Ninja Tabi.

If you can't withstand the damage, there's no room for maneuver.

Yasuo headed to the bottom lane, while Wei Shen controlled Taliyah to push the minion wave across the river before leaving the bottom lane.

Then, passing through her own blue buff area, Taliyah soloed and destroyed her own blue buff.

Then they stopped in the jungle.

Because after Scout's Ryze respawned, he went to the bottom lane to farm.

Wei Shen wanted to see if there was a chance to catch Ryze.

If Ryze moves even a little further away from the turret, Taliyah can use her ultimate to block Ryze's escape route when he has neither Flash nor his ultimate.

Then, together with Yasuo who had already arrived in the bottom lane, they killed Ryze.

However, Scout was very cautious.

Ryze simply cleared the minion wave in front of EDG's bottom tower and then retreated.

They did not push the minion wave forward.

Taliyah naturally lost the opportunity to use her ultimate to catch Ryze.

So Wei Shen pressed the B key, preparing to return to base and switch to the top lane.

On the other side, after Scout cleared the minion wave in front of the tower, he saw Yasuo appear in the bottom lane and said to Mouse:

"Crocodile, come to the bot lane. I'll have a tough time facing Yasuo!"

That's the truth.

With Yasuo's Wind Wall ability, if the two collide and there are minions nearby, Ryze will often only be chased and hacked by Yasuo.

Ryze still needs to go catch Taliyah.

Otherwise, let Ryze and Yasuo carry the team, and Renekton and Taliyah carry the team.

Both of those flanks are now useless.

We still need to focus on the initial alignment.

Scout believes that as long as his Ryze has Ghost ready, he can easily defeat Taliyah.

When Taliyah encounters Ryze who has activated Ghost, all she can do is use her ultimate to escape.

They might not even be able to escape.

Mouse's crocodile, although it has died twice.

But at this point in time, he should still be able to beat Yasuo one-on-one, right?

That's theoretically the case, but Scout is always a little worried about Mouse.

As it turned out, his concerns were correct.

Just one minute later.

The crocodile was forced to use Flash by Yasuo in the bottom lane.

If Yasuo hadn't been without Flash...

Even if the crocodile uses Flash, it's going to die.

"Damn it, I can't beat him!" Mouse muttered.

I didn't dare to speak too loudly.

He was afraid of being scolded by Scout.

Actually, when Mouse first saw Yasuo's equipment, he was a little unimpressed.

Instead of the classic attack speed boots and Statikk Shiv, I opted for armor boots and a Phantom Dancer.

Does this cause harm?
But once the fight started, Mouse realized he was wrong.

The build of Cloth Armor Boots and Phantom Dancer does indeed deal significantly less damage than the build of Attack Speed ​​Boots and Statikk Shiv.

But they're incredibly resilient!
It doesn't matter if the damage is low, as long as you can keep outputting damage.

Moreover, Yasuo's damage output increases significantly after stacking Fervor of Battle.

The crocodile unleashed his ultimate skill combo.

Because Yasuo is too slippery near the minion wave, Mouse didn't dare to chain too many auto-attacks into his combo.

They only managed to take down half of Yasuo's health.

Next, Yasuo slid back and forth in the minion wave, delaying Renekton's ultimate. After that, Renekton was no match for Yasuo.

After being severely damaged and hit by lightning, the crocodile quickly returned to the city to replenish its supplies.

Yasuo then pushed the minion wave into EDG's bottom lane tower and started attacking it.

Fortunately, the Rengar arrived in time and defended EDG's bottom lane tower.

Otherwise, Yasuo would have taken down that turret.

Even so, Yasuo managed to take away more than half of EDG's health from the bottom tower.

Next, both sides entered a relatively stable rhythm of play.

The three carries handle the minion waves on the three lanes, while the jungler and support roam around setting up and clearing vision.

Both teams handled this aspect quite steadily.

Therefore, there won't be any more kills in the short term.

However, even if there are no kills, the situation on each line will always deteriorate.

It's impossible to achieve perfect balance; you push one lane, I push another. This is typically seen in the bottom lane.

Mouse is no longer a match for Zhou Dian in solo play.

The era of Renekton's dominance over Yasuo is completely over.

In the bottom lane, even the crocodile didn't dare to go up and connect the attack.

When his teammates aren't nearby, Mouse can only wait for Yasuo to push the minion wave to the tower before Renekton can farm.

However, the area under the tower is not a safe place either.

Given Zhou Dian's playing style, when he gains an advantage, he will definitely try every means to wear down his opponent.

Whether you're inside or outside the tower doesn't matter.

Unless you hide in a spring.

Zhou Dian really had no choice.

Without aggression, how can you expand your advantage and snowball your gains?
In professional matches, many games where an advantage is turned around are not necessarily due to the opponent's good handling of the situation.

Instead, the team with the advantage lacked aggression, giving the team with the disadvantage an opportunity to develop, and ultimately being overturned due to the difference in team composition in the late game.

Even with the crocodile under the tower, Yasuo was still constantly whittling down its health.

Finally, he unleashed his ultimate move, severely damaging the crocodile.

They drove the crocodile away from under the tower, making it impossible for Mouse to even stay there.

With his health at a critical level, he glanced at his jungler, who wasn't nearby.

Mouse had no choice but to retreat, handing over his next tower to Zhou Dian.

Zhou Dian readily accepted.

Yasuo single-handedly destroyed EDG's bottom lane turret and made a small fortune.

Fortunately, not long after, EDG chipped away at LGD's mid-lane tower.

Scout sacrificed a kill on Ryze to chip away at the health of LGD's mid tower, which still had an effect.

However, EDG's bot lane has become increasingly vulnerable over time.

The crocodile is increasingly failing Yasuo.

During this time, Mouse suggested switching places with Scout so that Ryze could handle the side lane where Yasuo was.

He felt that Ryze had a powerful ability: his keystone rune, Wind Rider, grants a massive movement speed boost, making him a matchup against Yasuo.

It must be several times better at running away than a crocodile!

He wouldn't be so easily killed by Yasuo.

But Scout would definitely refuse.

The reason is very simple.

In situations like this, if you're in trouble, you can only try to salvage the situation yourself; you can't drag your teammates down with you.

Switching lanes can easily lead to your teammates also falling behind.

What can Mouse do?
They wanted to join a team, but EDG's lineup lacked strong initiation capabilities.

LGD's ability to create space is excellent, and EDG simply can't get going.

So Mouse had no choice but to sheepishly retreat to the side lane and continue pushing the lane.

However, if you go solo, you'll be tormented by Yasuo.

In that case, we'll have to call in reinforcements!
Once the game enters the mid-game, Ai Luoli spends most of her time in the upper half of the map, protecting and developing her two main carries.

After being called by Mouse several times, I managed to move the Poodle to the bottom half of the court.

Ai Luoli felt that even if the enemy top laner was as slippery as an eel, making him very difficult to catch.

We still need to help the crocodile catch its claws.

The game lasted a little over 19 minutes.

Before the dragon spawns, Ai Luoli decides to gank the weekly rankings.

This is a good opportunity to gank the bottom lane.

Otherwise, if he waits until 20 minutes later, when Baron Nashor is available, and then goes to gank the bottom lane as the jungler, it could easily lead to Baron Nashor being rushed.

The strategy involves split pushing in the bottom lane to create pressure, while teammates look for opportunities to rush Baron Nashor.

Although it is very simple and crude, it is often very effective.

Moreover, LGD is very good at using this strategy.

This is definitely the best LPL player to use this strategy!
At 19 minutes and 30 seconds, for the first time in several minutes, the crocodile pushed the bottom lane minion wave to the vicinity of the ruins of its own bottom lane tower.

A few minutes earlier, after EDG's first turret fell, the Crocodile didn't dare to stray that far from his own second turret.

So Zhou Dian immediately noticed that something was wrong.

There must be someone near the crocodile.

After glancing at the minimap several times, Zhou Dian spotted the locations of EDG's two carries and support.

They're all quite far from the bottom lane.

These people also don't have TP.

Therefore, Zhou Dian will at most have to face EDG's top and jungle players in this wave.

Is it possible for Yasuo to take on two opponents at once, namely Renekton and Rengar?
I looked at the ice hammer I had just made.

One against two, absolutely!

So, Zhou Dian controlled Yasuo and went to meet him.

Yasuo soon collided with the crocodile.

Without hesitation, Yasuo used the minion wave to slide up with a few E slashes and started attacking.

This time, the crocodile didn't run away; instead, it unleashed its full power to counterattack.

It was at this moment that a hunting mark appeared above Yasuo's head.

Clearly, the poodle has activated its hunting rhythm (R).

Yasuo had just slashed the crocodile twice when, with a roar, Rengar leaped out of thin air and landed beside Yasuo.

Ten seconds later, the crocodile and the lion dog, the zoo's top and jungle duo, both fell to Yasuo's blade.

Double Kill!
Accompanied by sound effects, a huge uproar erupted at the scene.

As early as when Yasuo killed the crocodile, the LGD fans at the scene had already started shouting and were extremely excited.

In the commentary box.

Hao Kai was a little stunned by this scene.

Does this work too?
Is B Yasuo really that good at fighting?

He didn't speak until Wang Duoduo finished commenting on the live feed:
"It seems like Zhou Shen didn't even do much this time! Yasuo just kept slashing and getting a double kill!"

"Yasuo's item build seems a bit too overpowered!"

Upon hearing Hao Kai's words, Wang Duoduo was momentarily at a loss for words.

As an official commentator, Haokai's words were somewhat unpleasant to hear.

This is a professional competition, and it's the playoffs semifinals, so it's not easy for the players to perform well.

Yasuo's skill combos throughout the entire sequence were incredibly smooth, showcasing his solid fundamentals.

Even a double kill while standing still is something to be praised.

"Hmm, it seems this Yasuo build is really effective!"

Wang Duoduo organized her thoughts and followed Hao Kai's words, saying, "Zhou Shen's understanding of the game is still impressive. He can always come up with some unique but very useful ideas!"
