Chapter 230 Greed Leads to Trouble!

"Nunu, I was just about to say Nunu!"

"I thought about it for a long time, and I was wondering if G2 might ban Nunu after banning so many junglers!"

Upon seeing G2 display Nunu on the fourth floor of the blue team, Guan Zeyuan's tone immediately became excited.

I don't know if they really guessed Nunu, or if they just wanted to show off!
After all, it's not difficult for Guan Zeyuan to just spout off something like that.

"No way, Nunu, you could have guessed it!"

Zhihuan chuckled, clearly not believing Guan Zeyuan's explanation.

"I was actually thinking about Nunu just now, because Nunu got buffed in this patch, but I didn't dare say it, you know!"

After a pause, Guan Zeyuan continued, "I'm afraid if I say I won't choose it, I'll get bombarded with criticism!"

After hearing this, many viewers understood what was going on.

Guan Zeyuan is just showing off.

You think you're afraid of being criticized?
You probably just want people to criticize you and give you traffic, right?

At this moment, the blue team also locked onto the hero on the fourth floor.

After several jungler heroes were banned.

G2's jungler surprisingly chose Nunu, the Yeti Rider, in this game.

Then, G2 picked LeBlanc on the fifth floor of the blue team.

With one counter pick remaining, LGD reserved it for their mid-laner, Wei Shen.

Ultimately, LGD locked in Kassadin on the fifth floor of the red side.

"Oh, Kassadin, in the end, they picked an AP assassin! This also adds a late-game safety net for LGD!"

"G2's lineup is actually quite slow-paced, giving Kassadin ample time to farm!"

"In that case, it will be difficult for G2's Kog'Maw to perform well. If Camille and Kassadin really try to kill Kog'Maw, it feels like G2 won't be able to protect him!" Zhihuan said.

At this point, both sides have completed their lineup selections.

After the two head coaches gave their players some final instructions,

He then took off his headphones and walked to the center of the stage.

After shaking hands, the two head coaches turned and walked into the players' tunnel.

On the large screen at the venue, the game had already entered the loading screen.

Blue square G2:

Top lane: Shen; Jungle: Nunu; Mid lane: LeBlanc; Bot lane: Kog'Maw and Lulu.

Red team LGD:

Top lane Camille, jungle Graves, mid lane Kassadin, bot lane Ashe and Malzahar.

"Okay, the game begins!"

"In today's third group stage match, G2 is on the blue side and LGD is on the red side!"

The OB interface reappeared on the large screen at the venue.

The audience erupted in cheers.

This can be considered as cheering for both teams.

In the opening stages, both sides lined up along the river, a relatively defensive starting position.

Once the positions were finalized, the OB camera lingered on Nunu for an extended period.

There's nothing we can do about it; after all, Nunu is a champion that appears far too in competitive play.

This is a rare appearance.

It's normal for the camera to focus on them.

Seeing this, Zhihuan said, "This game depends on whether Nunu can protect his jungle in the early game!"

"Nunu's early game is still too weak compared to Graves!"

In the upper part of the river channel.

Zhou Dian's Camille faced off against G2's top laner Shen.

Both of them swayed in place for a few moments.

Then they compared their scores.

Next, Zhou Dian controlled Camille to press forward.

Upon seeing this, G2's top laner immediately controlled Shen to retreat.

Camille has a passive shield, so there's no need for him to trade blows with Camille before going online.

then.

The top laners on both sides were constantly moving in and out, one advancing and the other retreating.

A few steps later, Camille entered G2's blue buff area.

Upon reaching this point, Camille stopped going forward.

Shinya also stopped.

Then, the two of them flashed their badges at each other again.

The game time was exactly one minute.

Camille threw the trinket ward she was wearing onto the open ground in front of G2's blue buff camp.

Then he turned and left.

Alright, I'm not playing with you anymore.

Zhou Dian's intention was simply to place a ward in G2's blue buff area; he had no intention of targeting Shen.

He originally picked Camille in this game mainly to counter Kog'Maw in team fights.

But since G2 picked Nunu as their jungler, who is extremely weak in the early game.

Then he doesn't need to wait until the team fight to exert his strength in this game.

Just coordinate with Graves and wreak havoc on Nunu's jungle in the early game, and you're good to go.

That's why Zhou Dian came over and placed this ward to scout out Nunu's jungle clearing route in the early game.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances.

Zhou Dian always keeps the trinket ward he has at the start of the game to prevent ganks.

The game time came to 1 minute and 40 seconds.

buff monsters respawn.

Eimy's Graves chose to start with blue buff in this game.

PYL's Malzahar helped him farm jungle monsters.

imp's Ashe didn't help the jungler and went to lane alone early.

On the other side, G2's jungler Nunu chose to solo the blue buff.

Despite knowing that LGD had vision in front of the blue buff.

G2's jungler still chose to start with the blue buff, exposing this information to LGD.

Eimy was a little confused about what Nunu was trying to do!
"We should pay more attention to Nunu's jungle route!"

“Online, I don’t think the two sides can produce anything!” Guan Zeyuan said.

From the OB's perspective at this moment.

After clearing the blue buff, Eimy's Graves did not continue farming his own jungle camps.

Instead, it went straight downstream and walked into the riverbed.

Next, they entered the small dragon pit. On the pit wall, there was a green mark.

This means that the first dragon in this game is a water dragon.

The Water Dragon is arguably the most valuable small dragon to contend for in the early game.

Watching the Graves walk into the Dragon Pit.

All the viewers understood that Graves was about to invade Nunu's red zone.

Seeing Graves use a quick draw (E) to move from inside the Dragon Pit to above it and into G2's red zone, Zhuan immediately said:

"This invasion by Graves needs to be seen!"

The observer's view follows the movement of the Graves.

The next second, the audience saw a blue team's ward in G2's red buff camp.

This ward was placed by Perks' LeBlanc in the mid lane before she went online.

G2 was certainly not completely unprepared for Graves' inevitable jungle invasions.

“But it doesn’t matter if we see it. Eimy will definitely be able to get that red buff,” Zhihuan added.

In the match footage, Graves had already started attacking G2's red buff.

Graves was attacking G2's red buff.

G2's jungler Nunu is farming his own Gromp.

No one from G2 tried to interfere with Graves taking the red buff.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously thought that Nunu should go straight to LGD's red buff area to exchange for the red buff.

Otherwise, what's the point of LeBlanc placing that ward at her own red buff and seeing Graves invade?
Then, after defeating the Gromp, Nunu did not go to LGD's red zone.

Instead, they went downhill and started attacking their own three wolves.

This was almost completely unexpected by everyone.

What's the meaning of G2's jungler's move?

They just gave their own red buff to Graves for nothing.

Eimy was unaware that Nunu hadn't gone to LGD's red buff area and instead started attacking the three wolves at his own base.

After taking down the opponent's red buff, he controlled Graves to go to the blue side's bottom lane tri-bush.

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but say, "Is Eimy trying to gank G2's bot lane?"

In the early stages of the game, both sides traded blows in the bottom lane.

At this point, my health has dropped by about a third.

Graves emerged from the bushes and walked to the corner in front of the blue team's first tower.

They just happened to run into Big Mouth, who was trying to place a ward in the triangular grass.

Due to the obstruction at the corner of the wall.

When Kog'Maw saw Graves, Graves was already very close to Kog'Maw.

The male gunner raised his gun and auto-attacked Kog'Maw.

He quickly drew his gun (E) and slid it to Big Mouth's face, firing another shot into Big Mouth's head.

After two shots, Big Mouth immediately used his healing speed boost to create distance.

If you don't use healing to speed up the attack, Graves will have the slow effect of the red buff, and you'll still have to chase down Kog'Maw and shoot him a couple more times.

Although it's not life-threatening.

But if that happens, your health will be too low, you won't be able to lane, and you'll have to go back to base!

As the current top AD carry in Europe, Zven is very decisive.

The treatment was completed very quickly, successfully keeping Big Mouth's health at around half.

Eimy was well aware that this move wouldn't do anything to Kog'Maw.

It would be good enough if they could even provide some healing.

So, Graves shot Lulu again, reducing her health to half, and then left the bottom lane.

The Graves came to the bottom lane and fired a few shots.

They have already helped their own bottom lane regain lane control and take back the initiative in the laning phase.

Meanwhile, Nunu destroyed his own three wolves and cleared out the entire blue zone.

Only then could he leisurely head to LGD's red zone.

To be fair, it's a bit too slow for G2's jungler to go to LGD's red buff area at this point.

However, Graves went to the bottom lane, which delayed him for a while.

It seems like there won't be any problem if Nunu comes to LGD's red zone a little later.

It seems that G2's jungler Trick actually managed to steal an extra set of three wolves.

Nunu arrived at LGD's red zone, but did not immediately attack the red buff.

Instead, they started attacking LGD's six birds.

Trick's greed for wild monsters has resurfaced.

He not only wanted to trade red buff with Graves, but also wanted to take an extra set of F6 from Graves.

However, Ashe's Eagle Strike (E) was launched from the bottom lane and flew all the way to her own red buff area.

After passing through the mid lane, Nunu, who had just started attacking F6, was immediately spotted.

Seeing this, Zhihuan immediately said, "Nunu has been spotted. We need to go and take the red buff right away, otherwise Graves will definitely miss out on the red buff when he gets here!"

In the game scene, Nunu has just eaten one of the birds in F6.

After Ashe's E skill flew over his head, Nunu quickly abandoned the F6 camp and headed straight for the red buff.

However, Eimy would not let him have his way.

After leaving the bottom lane, Graves didn't even take the Rift Scuttler and went straight to his own red buff.

When Graves arrived at his own red buff, the red buff still had less than half its health left.

Nunu didn't have time to steal the red buff.

In this way, the ownership of the red buff will be determined by the junglers from both sides using Smite.

Since Nunu's Q skill hasn't been ready yet, he has absolutely no advantage when he tries to out-smite Graves.

It's a 50/50 chance!

The red buff only had a little over 400 HP left.

At that moment, a beam of yellow light descended!
This is Nunu's punishment.

However, after the punishment, the red buff still had more than 20 drops of health left.

He was taken down by a single basic attack from the Graves!
"Wow, that was great!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. "Graves won the fight with Smite!"

“Eimy didn’t even use any punishment!” Zhihuan added.

"Nunu was too hasty. The red buff wasn't even at the execute threshold yet, and he couldn't resist using Smite, which is equivalent to Smite for Graves!"

"Uh, Graves really didn't even use Smite. Eimy is so calm!"

Guan Zeyuan realized he had misspoke and quickly praised Eimy to make amends, while also shifting the topic away from the punishment contest.

At this moment, in the LGD team's voice chat.

"Holy crap, I was about to use Smite but it didn't activate. I thought I was going to lose the red buff. It scared me to death!" Eimy said, still a little shaken.

Then, thinking about how his Graves not only had a three-buff start but also managed to gank G2's bot lane, Eimy couldn't help but chuckle.

"You stupid Nunu, you like to be greedy, huh? Now you've gotten yourself into trouble!"
