Chapter 373 A Clash of Ideas: A Chance Encounter or Complete Understanding?
Earlier, Zhou Dian's Shen placed a ward at IG's red buff and spotted Ning's Jarvan IV, who had started the game with a red buff.

Based on the team compositions of both sides, we can at least guess the order in which the Prince will clear the first three jungle camps.

It will be either red buff - F6 - blue buff, or red buff - three wolves - blue buff.

Regardless of which of these two approaches, the general strategy for Speed ​​3 remains the same.

So Eimy temporarily adjusted his jungle clearing plan.

On the IG side, they knew that his excavator started at F6.

Therefore, he decided to do the same as the previous game and leave half of the jungle untouched for the time being.

Arrest them first!
After clearing the F6 and Red Buff, the excavator stepped on the Blast Cone behind the Dragon Pit and entered the Dragon Pit.

Then, after defeating the river crab in the lower river, my level reached level three.

Eimy is preparing to enter IG's lower jungle to find the Prince.

In a one-on-one situation in the jungle, Rek'Sai has an absolute advantage against Jarvan IV.

The excavator entered IG's blue buff area through the narrow passage behind the blue buff. At this time, the prince had just finished the blue buff and leveled up to level three, and then walked towards the river.

The distance between the two was just beyond the range of the excavator's passive listening ability, so the excavator could not hear the prince's movements.

The prince, however, had just reached the pass leading to the lower river channel when he discovered the vision acceleration circle left behind after the river crabs in the lower river channel had been destroyed.

Prince Ning immediately realized that the excavator must have just knocked down the river crabs that had gone into the riverbed.

I quickly glanced at the mid lane and saw that my mid laner, Corki, was being pressured by Syndra in front of the tower. There shouldn't be any risk of him being ganked by Rek'Sai.

However, out of caution, Ning still advised Rookie to be a little more careful.

The excavator has very high damage in the early game, and it's not difficult for it to take down a nearly full-health Corki when paired with Syndra.

Since the river crab's speed boost was blocking his way, Ning chose to take a different route to gank the bottom lane.

The prince walked through the tri-bush in his own bottom lane, arrived at the bottom lane, and then used vision control to sneak into the bushes on the bottom lane.

On the other side, Eimy didn't even glance at the plane in the middle.

After the excavator drilled into IG's lower jungle, it followed the wall behind the blue buff and arrived at the front of the blue buff camp.

Then you see that the blue buff has been taken down by the prince, while the grouse is still standing there unharmed.

Eimy immediately deduced that the prince must have gone to the bottom lane, and quickly reminded his two teammates in the bottom lane.

Upon hearing Eimy's warning, imp's left-hand fingers hovered over the Flash key, ready to use Flash at any moment.

Meanwhile, the excavator began heading down the road.

The excavator arrived behind the tri-bush in IG's bottom lane, where there was a Blast Cone.

Seeing this, PYL quickly reminded Eimy that there was a ward that Ashe had just placed in the river bush in the bottom lane.

So Eimy gave up his plan to step on the Blast Fruit and go down into the river.

The excavator arrived near the tri-bush in IG's bottom lane, preparing to dig a tunnel through the thick wall in front of it, and launch a flanking maneuver for IG's bottom lane duo.

Game time is 2 minutes and 56 seconds.

The first wave of siege minions in the bottom lane had just converged, and the bottom lane minion wave was still in the middle position.

Both bot lane duos were still at level two, and the exchange of blows was quite intense, with each AD carry and support losing 20-30% of their health.

Brand stood in the middle of the bottom lane bush and cast Pillar of Flame (W) at Kog'Maw's feet, slightly behind him.

Instead of retreating as Baolan expected, Big Mouth moved forward, dodging the pillar of flame.

Then Big Mouth burrows into the grass, activates Biohazard Barrage (W), and begins spraying Fire Man.

Brand turned around and threw his Flame Brand (Q) at Kog'Maw, while quickly retreating upwards.

At this moment, Lulu used her W skill on Brand, turning him into a polymorph and slowing him down.

Under the damage output of LGD's bot lane duo, Brand's health dropped rapidly.

Seeing that his own bottom lane had already started making moves, Eimy quickly controlled the excavator to start digging a tunnel in preparation for going over the wall and flanking from behind.

Kog'Maw was still chasing Brand, but Brand, who was severely low on health, never used Flash to create distance.

Suddenly, a Moroccan flag fell from the sky and landed behind Big Mouth.

Then, from the bushes in front of Big Mouth where there was no view, the prince, wielding a large spear, charged towards Big Mouth.

Imp was prepared, and Kog'Maw calmly flashed to dodge the Prince's EQ combo that came from nowhere.

This flash didn't create distance by flashing backward, but rather by flashing sideways, keeping the two IG bot laners still within Kog'Maw's attack range.

The reason it flashed horizontally was because the excavator had already moved onto the lower track.

An excavator, tunneling through the wall, unleashed a "Search Prey" (Underground Q) attack, hitting the low-health Brand.

Brand's health is below 100.

But Eimy then ignored the Fire Man, who was about to die if touched again.

He heard PYL's urgent shouts coming through his earpiece.

"Focus fire on the Frostbite! Focus fire on the Frostbite!"

As PYL shouted, Kog'Maw flashed sideways to dodge Jarvan IV's EQ combo.

Upon hearing this, Eimy pressed the F key without hesitation.

A flash of yellow light, and the excavator was instantly at Aisha's feet.

Then it burst from the ground, lifting Ashe, who hadn't even had time to react, into the air!
The excavator, who was originally heading for the low-health Brand, suddenly flashed and knocked up Ashe, catching Xihuang completely off guard with this feint.

At the three-minute mark, the excavator with the red buff performs three basic attacks after activating Queen's Wrath (Q).

To be honest, the damage is a bit too high.

Ashe, at level two, was facing the combined damage output of Lulu, Kog'Maw, and Rek'Sai, and her health plummeted.

Of course, Lulu only attacked twice from the side, without dealing any damage.

After landing from the knock-up, Ashe's health was almost completely depleted.

Xihuang was surprised by LGD's decisive focus fire, and also knew that his Ashe was not going to escape this time.

Instead of using Flash, he used Heal to raise his health, surviving for another second.

In that instant, Ashe's fierce counterattack dealt a significant amount of damage to Kog'Maw.

Then, the excavator's claws slammed down, and Wild Bite (Ground E) took away Ashe's last bit of health.

"First Blood!"

The notification sound for First Blood echoed throughout the entire arena.

While LGD's jungler, support, and bottom laner were dealing damage to Ashe, Jarvan IV was constantly attacking Kog'Maw next to him.

Although the prince's damage output is not as high as that of the excavator, his keystone rune, Thunderlord's Decree, makes up for a significant portion of his damage.

With the added true damage from the red buff, Kog'Maw was almost killed by Jarvan IV's relentless attacks.

Imp had already activated his barrier and was using it to tank the damage while continuing to attack Ashe.

With Ashe dead, it seemed too late for Kog'Maw to distance himself from the prince.

Just then, a green light flashed by, and Big Mouth's health increased.

Most importantly, Kog'Maw's movement speed has increased significantly, pushing him out of Jarvan IV's attack range, making it impossible for Jarvan IV to auto-attack him.

It was Lulu's treatment that helped!
In this exchange, LGD's jungler, support, and bottom laner all executed their skills and coordinated their crowd control perfectly.

Prince's W skill has already been used. Now that the skills of the LGD players are on cooldown, there is a good chance that he can escape.

However, Ning Wang had just experienced being substituted out and then substituted back in, and his mentality fluctuated too much, so he was already a bit overconfident.

He used Flash. The prince used Flash to close the distance to Kog'Maw.

When imp saw that the prince had used Flash, he knew he couldn't escape this time, so he stopped running.

Big Mouth unleashed its final attack on the prince.

The excavator's burrowing (W) cooldown is only four seconds. During this time, the excavator burrows back underground, comes under the prince, and lifts him up.

The prince finally managed to kill Big Mouth, but his own health was already down to almost half.

After chasing and hitting the prince a few times, the excavator and Lulu suddenly stopped.

Because the corpse of Big Mouth kept hopping and skipping around the prince after his death.
Suddenly, an explosion occurs, causing the corpses of the two-level Big Mouths to explode and deal 150 points of true damage.

This damage took away the prince's remaining health.

Big Mouth got the prince's head.

"What a waste of the prince's double buffs!" Eimy muttered.

But that's just a casual remark; he'll definitely let Big Mouth have the kill.

He even wanted to give Ashe's first blood to Kog'Maw.

However, Ashe's final counterattack was quite fierce, and fearing trouble would escalate, he quickly took her head.

As for what was behind them, Baolan had already manipulated Brand to escape back to his own tower.

Brand had used both of his abilities, and with less than 100 health points left, staying would only result in another death, so he had no choice but to flee.

In the commentary box.

"The prince here was killed by the surprise bomb from Icathia, resulting in a one-for-two exchange!" Guan Zeyuan quickly explained.

"Trading their ADC and jungler for LGD's ADC is such a loss for IG!"

"imp's big mouth is getting a kill and an assist right now, he's having a really good time!"

"Okay, let's take a look at the replay of what just happened."

At this point, the director replayed the battle that had just taken place in the bottom lane of the game.

After watching the replay, Zhihuan said, "To be honest, IG shouldn't have played like this. It's mainly because LGD handled it so well."

“You see, after Prince’s first move was dodged by Kog’Maw’s Flash, if Imp’s first thought was to run away and Kog’Maw flashed backward, Prince and Ashe could have followed up with Flash and killed Kog’Maw in a few hits.”

"At this point, Lulu had no skills and couldn't stop it. Moreover, the Prince and Ashe flashed to create distance between themselves and the Rek'Sai. After killing Kog'Maw, the remaining Rek'Sai and Lulu from LGD couldn't do anything to them."

Guan Zeyuan picked up where Zhihuan left off, adding, "Yes, but IG didn't expect imp to flash and counterattack!"

"At the same time, the excavator also abandoned the kill that was within reach, and almost immediately after Kog'Maw's Flash, he Flashed and knocked up Ashe."

"West didn't react at all. After Ashe was knocked up and killed instantly, it was inevitable that IG would suffer a loss in this fight."

At this point, Guan Zeyuan deliberately paused, wanting to give Rita on his right some room to maneuver.

However, Rita either didn't understand Guan Zeyuan's meaning or genuinely had nothing to say.

In short, there was a sudden two-second silence on the commentary stage.

So Guan Zeyuan quickly picked up where he left off.

"What was originally a slightly unfavorable one-for-one trade, where the AD carries traded for the support, turned into a one-for-two trade by LGD, which was a huge win for them."

"It has to be said that LGD outperformed IG in both decision-making and execution this time!"

Back to the game.

After the fight in the bottom lane ended, the minion wave pushed towards LGD, which means that IG's bottom lane will suffer an even greater loss.

Neither Lulu nor the excavator moved the minion wave.

Lulu returned to town on the spot, and the excavator, after wiping out its own stone beetle, also chose to return to town.

When Kog'Maw emerged from the fountain and walked to the tower, the minion wave had just entered the tower.

Although he died once just now, the start of this game is still incredibly comfortable for imp.

On the other side, after Brand B, who had just returned to base with a sliver of health, went back to the fountain, Baolan looked at the messy minion wave in the bottom lane and suddenly had an idea.

After Brand's health was fully restored, Baolan controlled Brand to head straight for the mid lane.

When Brand reached his mid-lane second turret, TheShy's Renekton in the top lane had just pushed a wave of minions into the turret and then went into the bush to recall.

Just as Zhou Dian had predicted, after suffering a setback at level one, TheShy opted for a strategy of constantly pushing the lane.

The crocodile's 8-second recall countdown ended, and Shen had almost cleared the minions under the tower.

Shen's logical choice at this point would have been to follow the same path as Crocodile: quickly return to base to buy equipment and a control ward.

But Zhou Dian glanced at the minion wave in the bottom lane and thought that IG's bottom lane might not be able to farm minions for a while, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.

What do heroes usually do when they can't farm minions in this game?

A small number of people might wait patiently for the minion wave to arrive, but most people will make another choice.

That is to travel.

Especially when the hero you're playing has hard crowd control.

Then an idea popped into Zhou Dian's mind.

He decided to wait until Shen finished off the last minion in front of him, then wander over to the mid lane to take a look and try to ambush someone.

You might just reap some unexpected rewards.

If there's no profit, we can just hand over TP and go online.

After all, once Shen is played in the top lane and has his ultimate ability, he doesn't rely as much on the Teleport summoner spell.

But what if we catch something?
Just do it if you think of it.

After taking down the last minion under the tower, Zhou Dian controlled Shen to enter his own blue buff area from the top lane tri-bush.

After passing the Swamp Frog, walk along the wall of your own Blue Buff camp towards the middle lane.

Game time is 3 minutes and 45 seconds.

Shen, who was still a little short of experience to reach level 4, arrived at the upper left of LGD's mid-lane tower, at the wide pass leading to the upper jungle.

At this moment, Brand, who was still at level two, happened to arrive in the river bushes on the left side of the mid lane.

Meanwhile, in the commentary booth...

"Shen should be heading back after clearing the minions under the tower, hey, wait a minute!"

"Why did Shen go to the middle lane? What is Zhou Shen trying to do?" Guan Zeyuan asked with a hint of doubt.

“Look at the Fire Man’s route!” Zhihuan suddenly said.

Upon hearing Zhihan's words, Guan Zeyuan took a closer look.

Seeing that Shen and Brand followed different paths but seemed to have the same destination, he suddenly understood.

Then he saw that both Brand and Shen had stopped.

Brand stopped in the river bush on the left side of the mid lane, while Shen stopped on the other side of Brand, separated by only a wall.

"No way? Brand hasn't been exposed to LGD's sights at all along the way, how could Zhou Shen guess that?" Guan Zeyuan's voice sounded somewhat incredulous.

Immediately, a white halo appeared beneath Shen's feet; this was the effect of recalling to base.

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan said with a smile, "I knew it, this must be a coincidence. Although I don't understand why Zhou Shen would go to the middle lane to go back to base."

"IG is about to get into trouble!"
