You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 255 Pause lifted, Level 1 solo kill!

Soon, the game was paused for more than ten minutes.

On the LPL official commentary booth.

I remember explaining things to the two Taiwanese men, Long Hair and his friend, and we were actually quite good at chatting.

After discussing what happened in the game, we immediately moved on to what happened outside of it.

The two kept finding topics to talk about, preventing the live broadcast from becoming awkward.

However, most viewers in the live stream had already lost interest in the live event.

Most people just leave their live stream running.

They either watch videos to kill time and wait for the game to pause and restart.

Or they go to various platforms related to LOL esports to read posts and gossip.

Now the audience knows why the game was paused for so long.

The main problem is that Cassiopeia landed several auto-attacks on Shen, but failed to attract the aggro of the enemy ranged minions.

Whether this phenomenon is a bug or not requires very rigorous judgment.

We must understand the problem before we can make a judgment.

Therefore, the end time of this game's pause can be said to be indefinitely delayed.

Because Riot Games' official efficiency has never been particularly high.

It was a quarterfinal match of the S5 World Championship, the famous BO5 where FNC defeated EDG 4-0.
In one game, the factory manager's Gragas had a bug where he couldn't use his Q skill.

The official team has been trying to fix it for a long time, but they still can't get it right.

Finally, they simply restarted the game, banned Gragas, and both sides restarted the draft phase.

If the bug with Gragas' Q skill had been fixed back then, and there hadn't been a rematch, EDG would most likely have lost that game anyway.

This is also the origin of the joke that EDG loses four out of a BO5 series.

Back to this match, this game.

Online, viewers are also having a lively discussion about what's happening in the game.

Some people believe that the fact that the Flash Wolves' backline units don't attack the Cassiopeia is a bug in the game.

This is further divided into two factions.

One group believes that Zhou Dian simply triggered the bug unintentionally and was unaware of it.

Another group believes that Zhou Dian knew about the bug all along and had been maliciously using it to profit.

Of course, many LPL viewers felt that this was not a bug at all, but just a normal game mechanic.

However, Zhou Dian knew this game mechanic, but the others did not.

Game mechanics and bugs are two completely different things.

However, many viewers are also confused about the differences.

They were simply expressing their support for LPL teams in international competitions, standing on LGD's side and speaking up for Zhou Dian.

However, there are so many players on the Chinese server.

There are many smart people, and many geniuses.

As time went on, some casual League of Legends players got ahead of the official investigation and figured out the truth of the matter.

Some players have said that when they play the game, they have occasionally managed to attack an enemy hero right next to the enemy ranged minions without attracting the enemy ranged minions' aggro.

Of course, words are unfounded.

There are already skilled players who have teamed up with friends to create custom games, with one playing Cassiopeia and the other playing Shen.

He replicated the previous Zhou Dian's Cassiopeia strategy of not attracting the aggro of ranged minions.

And they recorded a video and posted it online.

The video also explained the specific principles behind the snake woman's maneuvers.

Finally draw a conclusion.

This is not a bug; it's simply a part of the game mechanics.

However, no matter how many expert players on the Chinese server post "guides on how to avoid ranged unit aggro" online.

The MSI semi-final match in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, thousands of miles away.

The Riot Games staff who were handling this issue naturally couldn't have imagined that they would be looking for "guides" online at a time like this.
They have been relying on their limited knowledge base to handle this suspension.

Naturally, they haven't been able to solve this problem!
The game has been paused for twenty minutes.

But they never figured out one thing.

That is: Why doesn't the Cassiopeia attract minion aggro when she attacks Shen?
If this issue is not clarified, it is impossible to judge the nature of the event.

Naturally, this also fails to resolve the fundamental problems caused by this suspension.

Just when the relevant staff were all in a panic, sweating profusely.

One of the bald men touched his forehead and suddenly said, "Why don't we ask the person involved?"

Immediately, all his colleagues turned to look at him.

"Didn't we already ask the person involved? And we asked them many times!"

As they spoke, someone pointed to the nipples.

“I mean, the other party involved!” the bald man immediately said.

After hearing this, the others finally understood.

Immediately, a large group of people moved from one side of the stage to the other side and came to Zhou Dian's side.

When Zhou Dian saw a group of official staff coming over, he knew that they definitely hadn't figured out the situation yet.

There are really makeshift troupes everywhere!
Since you've come to me for advice, I'll reluctantly explain it to you!

So the referee immediately opened two instances of League of Legends on Zhou Dian's computer.

And logged into a test account.

Zhou Dian started a training camp mode game and chose Cassiopeia.

He immediately demonstrated to them how his snake woman had previously avoided the enemy's ranged units at close range.

To put it simply, the principle is actually quite simple.

It means that when the enemy's three ranged minions attack your own minions, you should simultaneously attack the enemy hero.

In this way, the Cassiopeia's basic attack and the enemy ranged minion's basic attack are launched simultaneously.

Actually, when Cassiopeia used her A attack, it attracted the aggro of the enemy ranged creeps.

However, once the ranged unit has already raised its hand to attack, it won't suddenly stop its basic attack animation and turn to attack the Cassiopeia.

A soldier is just a soldier; he can't compare to a hero controlled by a human.

Minions cannot stop the basic attack animation; once the basic attack is launched, they will mechanically perform the attack.

By the time the ranged minions had used their basic attacks, the Cassiopeia had drawn the minions' aggro and disappeared.

Then, by simply repeating this operation, and ensuring that each basic attack is launched at the same time as the enemy ranged minion, you can continuously avoid the enemy ranged minion's aggro.

Of course, it's easier said than done.

Even if you understand the principle, it's already very difficult to synchronize with the enemy's ranged units during a single basic attack and avoid their aggro.

Not to mention someone like Zhou Dian, who can avoid the enemy's ranged units' aggro with three consecutive basic attacks.

The difficulty involved is far beyond imagination!
The official staff surrounding Zhou Dian, after understanding the principles of avoiding hatred...

The referee in this match did not immediately draw a conclusion.

He asked Zhou Dian to switch to another hero and repeat the maneuver of avoiding the enemy's ranged minions' aggro.

If other heroes can do the same, then it's naturally due to the game mechanics.

If only Cassiopeia can do this, then there's a bug!

Being able to serve as the head referee for the MSI knockout stage shows that he is very meticulous in his consideration of issues.

So Zhou Dian then switched to three different heroes.

These three heroes share a common characteristic.

Then the projectile speed of his basic attack is faster than that of the Cassiopeia.

A faster projectile speed naturally allows for better synchronization of normal attacks with enemy ranged minions.

Therefore, Zhou Dian easily avoided the enemy's ranged units' aggro on three consecutive occasions.

It's not that heroes with slow projectiles can't avoid the aggro of enemy ranged minions. Rather, using heroes with slow projectiles increases the chance of making mistakes, making it less likely to succeed in one go.

The competition has been suspended for a long time, and Zhou Dian doesn't want to waste any more time!
After seeing what I wanted to see and confirming that there were no bugs during the previous competition.

The referee also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it really is a bug, then it will be very difficult to deal with afterwards!

But now, all you need to do is unpause.

Several LGD players were notified to prepare for the match to resume at any time.

The referee immediately walked towards the other side of the stage, towards the Flash Wolves' players' bench.

"What? No bugs? How is that possible! I..."

Mimi Egg looked surprised when she heard the referee's announcement.

When he tried to say something more, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the referee.

"I'm not asking for your opinion; I'm informing you of the outcome of this suspension!"

"Get ready, the match is about to resume!"

After speaking, the referee left the main stage and returned to the referee's room to prepare to lift the timeout.

All that was left was a face full of pain.

Because Mimi Egg remembered something at that moment.

If the pause is lifted just like that, it seems like my Shen is going to get solo killed by Cassiopeia!
In the commentary box.

We have received notification from the director that the game broadcast will soon resume.

Long Hair breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stopped chatting with Ji De about something.

He then said, "Okay, I have some good news to share! After a nearly half-hour pause, the match is finally about to resume!"

"The pause will be lifted shortly, everyone, you can come back and continue watching the game!"

The commentator only said that the pause would be lifted, and didn't say anything else.

Some viewers immediately realized something.

The game continued immediately, which at least means that Zhou Dian did not use any bugs!
Whether intentional or unintentional!
In short, Zhou Dian was just playing games and competing normally.

As a result, the barrage of comments, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively again.

Where are those people who said Zhou Shen was maliciously exploiting a bug? Come on, speak up!

[Come out and talk, don't run away if you dare!]

[Alright, they've all cowered away, too scared to show their faces. Haters never fight when they're behind!]

[Let's watch the game, why bother arguing with the haters!]

[Damn it, it's finally starting! I've already watched two episodes of this TV series!]

Watching two episodes in half an hour? That's a bit fast! Promise me you won't go that fast next time!

[Go to hell!]

【.】

Back to the competition venue.

At this moment, a countdown to the end of the pause was already appearing on the large screen at the scene.

After the countdown of three, two, one, the game screen returns to normal.

The observer's view remains fixed on the top lane and has not moved.

The instant the pause was lifted.

A yellow light flashed by as we set off.

Shen immediately used Flash and fled towards his own top lane tower.

However, because Shen and the snake woman were too close just now.

Even though Shen used Flash, he didn't immediately pull himself out of Cassiopeia's basic attack range.

As a result, Shen was hit by Cassiopeia's E skill and a basic attack.

This EA once again took away a significant portion of Shen's health.

Shen's health is down to one-third.

Unlike the previous times when Cassiopeia used Ea.

After Cassiopeia landed an attack on Shen, the three melee minions of the Lightning Wolves behind her immediately turned around and began attacking her.

The reason is also very simple.

At this point, Shen was already trapped in a cage for Zhou Dian, with no way to escape.

You won't need to deliberately avoid the enemy's ranged units' aggro.

Therefore, the Cassiopeia did not wait even a moment before deliberately synchronizing her attack with the Lightning Wolf ranged unit's attack animation.

Instead, they went straight for Shen, attacking whenever they had the chance, there was no point in waiting.

The attack range of the Cassiopeia Twin Fangs (E) is longer than that of her normal attack.

Even though she couldn't land a single hit on Shen, Cassiopeia still managed to land another Twin Fang on him.

Then, another flash of yellow light appeared on the road.

Cassiopeia used Flash to close the distance between herself and Shen.

Shen had just escaped back to his own top tower when he was hit by Cassiopeia's Ea.

Shen's health dropped even further, leaving him with only a sliver of health.

Another Twin Fang (E) landed on Shen.

It also took away Shen's last bit of health.

At this point, the Cassiopeia's mana was almost depleted, and it was uncertain whether she could unleash another Twin Fang.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Shen's head has been taken by Cassiopeia!

First Blood!
The game notification sound of "First Blood" echoed throughout the entire arena.

The Brazilian audience in the audience immediately erupted in cheers.

Naturally, this was interspersed with all sorts of strange noises.

"Great job, Zhou Shen!" Remember shouted loudly, "A level 1 solo kill, that's unbelievable!"

"Uh, it's a bit unbelievable, but I think it's inseparable from the cooperation of the Mimi Egg!" Long Hair said with a smile.

"That's right!" Remember nodded. "To put it bluntly, as long as you don't want to die, no one can kill you single-handedly at level one!"

"Mimi Egg acted too hastily, refusing to back down at level one, and was ultimately killed by Zhou Shen at level one. It can only be said that he brought it upon himself!"

Meanwhile, in the official LPL tournament livestream room.

After the pause was lifted, the already lively barrage of comments resumed.

The refresh rate has now increased dramatically.

Wow, how long has it been since I've seen a level 1 solo kill in a professional match?

[How long? I haven't even seen it!]

[I have seen it before, back in the day Faker's Riven solo-killed Dade's Ryze at level one!]

【Wait, why does this little egg look like an idiot? How can someone like that play professionally? And even compete in international tournaments?】

To be honest, if you go and argue with Mimi Egg, you'll probably become a complete idiot!

Indeed, even if Mimi Egg is bad, that's only relative to Zhou Shen!

[In front of Zhou Shen, Mimi Egg really does seem like a fool, completely outmaneuvered by him!]

[They said Zhou didn't exploit the bug! How come after we paused and came back, the Flash Wolves' backline minions started attacking the Cassiopeia? They're too scared to continue using the bug, aren't they?]

[Seriously? The official statement hasn't said anything about Zhou Shen, so what are you haters doing barking like dogs?!]

Oh, so now we're relying on official information again! Didn't we say before that official information wasn't reliable?

[What the hell are you barking at, you dog?! It's not like I said the official sources are unreliable!]

[Watch the game, watch the game! Why bother with these mindless haters! The more you criticize them, the more they get worked up. They're just a bunch of mentally deranged trash!]
