Chapter 381 Armor-Piercing Jayce vs. "Armor-Piercing" Kennen!
In the top lane, under Zhou Dian's strong pressure, Kennen could only rely on his Q skill to farm minions most of the time.

The CS gap between Jayce and Kennen is slowly widening.

Taking advantage of Kennen's move to finish off the enemy, Zhou Dian's Jayce unleashed another QE combo at Kennen.

This time, however, it wasn't the cannon that was crooked, but the cannon itself, and it was crooked in a rather absurd way.

Kennen didn't move an inch, and his shot missed completely.

Including the shot that Kennen dodged earlier, Jayce has now missed two enhanced shots in a row.

Letme's initially tense mindset gradually relaxed.

After dodging two shots from Jayce, Letme felt that he might not be able to hold out in the top lane!
If Jayce can hold out in the laning phase, how can he compare to Kennen in team fights later on?

With this in mind, Letme's confidence slowly returned.

Once a person's confidence is boosted, their courage also increases.

Kennen started moving forward more often, using basic attacks to last-hit minions, and he stopped holding down his abilities so tightly.

Jayce's mana was running low because he was constantly using his abilities to whittle down Kennen's health.

Switch to hammer form and continuously attack minions to regenerate mana.

At 5 minutes and 27 seconds into the game, Kennen ran to the river to place a ward.

Then, in order to finish off two low-health red minions, he activated E to speed back to the minion wave and killed them.

As for whether there would be any problems using Kennen's E skill in front of Jayce, Letme had certainly considered that.

Letme thought to himself that it didn't really matter that he used Kennen's E skill in front of Jayce.

If Jayce tries to charge in, Kennen can still use AQW to stun Jayce and then calmly create distance.

Moreover, given the distance between Kennen and Jayce at this moment, Jayce wouldn't be able to hit his Kennen with his Q.

Just when Letme felt he had a good grasp of the distance.

Jayce in hammer form jumped up and used his Q skill to hit the blue team's backline minions.

Jayce's Sky Leap (Hammer Form Q) requires a target to be selected before it can be cast, but it is an AOE skill.

The attack hit the minion and also affected Kennen, who was nearby.

Kennen not only took the damage from Jayce's Q, but more importantly, he also took the slow effect from it.

"Rangdi, you're dead!"

A confident smile appeared on Zhou Dian's lips.

Jayce activated his W skill to catch up with the slowed Kennen and unleashed a barrage of auto-attacks right up to him.

Letme remained calm; he had already made the necessary preparations in advance.

Kennen attacked Jayce first.

Kennen's next basic attack will then be affected by the passive effect of his W skill.

Then, Kennen used AQW to instantly apply three stacks of his passive to Jayce, stunning him in place.

But before Jayce was stunned, he used Thunder Clap (Hammer Form E) to hit Kennen, causing Kennen to stagger sideways. This delayed Kennen from creating distance between himself and Jayce.

More importantly, after Jayce used his E skill, combined with the previous QWA combo, the equipment difference resulted in this combo taking away more than 30% of Kennen's health, directly triggering Wind Rider.

Jayce's movement speed has increased dramatically!
Although Jayce was stunned in place by Kennen, Kennen's stun duration was only 1.25 seconds, while Wind Rider's duration was as long as 3 seconds.

After the stun ended, Jayce switched to his cannon form, and with the combined acceleration of the form switch and Wind Rider, he easily caught up with Kennen.

"Jayce triggered Wind Rider and caught up. Kennen doesn't have Flash. He looks like he's in big trouble!" Miller shouted.

Jayce in his cannon form landed a basic attack on Kennen, reducing Kennen's armor by 10%.

Then activate Super Charge (Cannon Form W), and Jayce's attack speed instantly becomes 2.5.

Jayce, with full attack speed, landed three consecutive basic attacks on Kennen, causing Kennen's health to plummet.

During those three basic attacks, Jayce kept auto-attacking, and the distance between Jayce and Kennen never increased.

With a 2.5 attack speed, his smooth kiting demonstrated that Zhou Dian's kiting skills were in no way inferior to those of professional AD players.

After Kennen used his W skill to land three basic attacks, he was left with only a little over 300 HP.

Jayce remained trailing Kennen, not using any abilities, just chasing and auto-attacking until Kennen had retreated to the turret and was out of Jayce's attack range. By then, Kennen only had about 200 HP left.

Letme knew very well that Jayce had a powerful cannon waiting for him.

With Kennen's current health, he'd be basically done for if Jayce hits that cannon.

So Letme stared intently at the screen as Kennen swayed back and forth under the tower, trying to dodge the incoming cannon.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Dian immediately used QE to attack Kennen before Jayce could land an auto-attack.

A huge ball of electricity shot out from Jayce's cannon, heading straight for Kennen.

The next moment, the electric ball hit Kennen.

Letme's desperate attempts to position himself were in vain.

This shot took away Kennen's remaining health.

Jayce solo kills Kennen!

A gasp and cheers erupted from the crowd.

In the commentary box.

"Jayce has one more shot. Whether he can get a solo kill depends on this shot. If it hits directly, he can complete the solo kill!" Wawa shouted.

"My God! That shot was incredibly accurate."

"Kennen is really screwed now. He got solo killed without teleporting, and he's going to lose a lot of minions!"

On the main stage, the RNG players' seats.

Letme stared at the grayed-out screen in front of him, at Jayce pushing the lane and nearly at full health. The fear he had accumulated during the previous match against LGD regarding the Zhou Dian tournament resurfaced in his mind.

In this wave, his Kennen was solo killed by Jayce. Letme could feel the opponent Jayce's rich attention to detail and extreme confidence.

Even Kennen's every move and subsequent movement was within Zhou Dian's expectations.

In addition, there was the initial blood exchange at the start of this game.

Letme felt as if Zhou Dian had completely seen through him.

He was completely naked in front of Zhou Dian, with no secrets whatsoever.

A person's reputation is well-deserved!
A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!
The skill gap between myself and Zhou Shen seems to be quite large.

Why not just pick a tank hero and play passively and get by?

Why did I even think about challenging Zhou Shen?

"My bad, I should have played more cautiously!" Letme said apologetically in the RNG team voice chat after being solo killed.

Then, no other sound was heard in the entire RNG team voice chat.

The three players on the middle and bottom lanes were busy laning and didn't have time to talk.

As for Mlxg, he didn't even upgrade his jungle item, but went straight for a pair of five-speed boots, originally intending to find more opportunities to gank and regain the game's rhythm.

But before they could even find an opportunity, their own top laner was solo-killed.

Now Jayce has three heads, and the game has only been going on for less than six minutes.

Trying to gank top lane again would just be feeding a double kill.

Once he's in the top lane, he doesn't need to think about ganking anymore!
Thinking about this, Mlxg suddenly felt that half of the 800 yuan he had just spent on the Speed ​​5 shoes had gone down the drain. So he didn't bother to say anything to Letme.

After Letme apologized, he received no response whatsoever.

There was neither comfort nor complaint.

Not receiving feedback from his teammates, and thinking about the terrifying Jayce he was about to face with three kills, Letme suddenly felt his hands tremble slightly.
On LGD's side, Zhou Dian's Jayce pushed the minion wave to RNG's top tower and then immediately recalled to base to buy items.

He needs to quickly convert his economic resources into equipment superiority, ensuring that Kennen can never recover.

Back at the fountain, Jayce bought two more longswords, and Zhou Dian needed to get Youmuu's Ghostblade out as soon as possible.

During this period, top lane Jayce was strong in the early and mid-game but weak in the late game, the opposite of Jayce who was nerfed several times later.

Therefore, top lane Jayce players during this period did not build Manamune.

Stacking up goddess tears is a bit of a slow pace.

To make better use of Jayce's strength in the early and mid-game, try to end the game around three items.

For a more conservative build, go for Youmuu's Ghostblade, Black Cleaver, and Last Whisper.

A more aggressive build would be to go straight for the ultimate armor penetration build with Youmuu's Ghostblade, Duskblade, and Edge of Night, but this build undoubtedly has a much lower margin for error.

After buying the equipment, Jayce placed the acceleration gate at his feet and headed towards the top lane.

As Jayce was on his way, Zhou Dian said with a smile, "Wei Shen, I've already gotten a solo kill in the top lane, when are you going to get a solo kill in the mid lane?"

"Damn, look at this B Xiaohu, he's taking Heal as his Summoner Spell and starting with Doran's Shield," Wei Shen immediately said.

"That's not all, he also went straight for a Bloodthirster, how am I supposed to solo kill him like that!"

Upon hearing GodV's slightly indignant words, his teammates burst into laughter.

“Oh, so that means you’re admitting defeat!” Zhou Dian said.

"No, no, no! Just because we can't kill him now doesn't mean we can't kill him later. There's still a chance, there's still a chance!"

Jayce returned home and acquired two longswords, while Kennen could only pull out two cloth armors.

It was a matchup between Armor Penetration Jayce and Armor Penetration Kennen.

Letme has no choice but to build the Explorer's Armguard, a small item from the Zhonya's Hourglass, for this game.

He wasn't unaware that Kennen was directly using the arm guards to slow down the pace.

But if you don't have some armor, it really hurts too much when Jayce's cannon hits you!
Even with some armor, Kennen could only occasionally use his Q skill to last-hit minions in the top lane; most of the time he had to wait for Jayce to push the minion wave over.

Jayce would occasionally push forward into the minion wave, forcing Kennen to retreat obediently.

If you want to get a unit, you have to completely depend on Jayce's mood.

Moreover, Zhou Dian is now pushing forward quite recklessly, seemingly completely unconcerned about whether the Gragas will gank him.

The player spent 800 gold on Boots of Speed, which are completely useless in a duel.

Therefore, Zhou Dian was not afraid of RNG's top and jungle at all at this time, and Jayce could easily take on two opponents at once.

In this situation, the laning phase on the top lane becomes Zhou Dian's favorite part: "Don't eat."

The CS difference between Kennen and Jayce is widening at a visible rate.

When the game reached the 8-minute mark, the top laner had already gained a level advantage and over 30 CS.

Even so, it's all thanks to Letme's tower-diving skills, which are comparable to BaGe's, that he rarely misses.

In the mid lane, LeBlanc and Lucian traded blows. Just as LeBlanc chained Lucian, Eimy's Jarvan IV emerged from the left bush, and Mlxg's Gragas also appeared from the right.

This gank naturally came to nothing.

Seeing that neither the prince nor the angel had the blue buff, Mlxg, eager to find an opportunity, led Xiaohu to directly invade LGD's blue buff area.

The low-health LeBlanc recalled to base, and Gragas immediately started attacking LGD's blue buff.

LGD's bot lane duo quickly closed in, and considering that LeBlanc had Teleport, Mlxg had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​stealing the blue buff.

Back in the mid lane, Gragas started helping Lucian push the lane so that Lucian would have time to go back to base.

After resupplying and teleporting out, LeBlanc went forward to harass, and Gragas immediately unleashed his ultimate.

This Bursting Barrel (R) was poorly executed; LeBlanc didn't even flinch, and the Barrel's ultimate failed to hit her at all.

The gap in the top lane widened, and opportunities remained elusive in other lanes and the jungle.

It's clear that Mlxg is starting to get impatient.

At around 9 minutes into the game, Wei Shen's LeBlanc got the blue buff, and Zhou Dian's Jayce recalled to base and built Youmuu's Ghostblade, and also bought a pair of boots to increase his lane movement speed.

Half a minute later, LGD's bot lane duo recalled to base, replenished their equipment, and headed straight for the top lane.

LGD is about to speed things up and try to secure the first tower!
If things continue at this pace, RNG's top tower will be in Jayce's grasp, but it will take a few more minutes to take it down.

However, things are bound to get complicated if things drag on, and changes can happen at any time. LGD decided to strike first.

With Jayce constantly chipping away at its health, RNG's top tower now had less than half its health left.

Once the minion wave is pushed in, Tristana can use her Explosive Spark (E) followed by Jayce's W and three auto-attacks to take down the low-health turret.

At this moment, RNG's mid and jungle players were already lying in ambush in the blue side's top lane tri-bush.

The opportunity Mlxg had been searching for was now right in front of him.

As the minion wave advanced to RNG's top turret, LGD's top, bottom, and support players also entered the turret.

Just as the cannon landed the explosive spark on the turret, Jayce placed a trinket and sent Lucian and Gragas out from the tri-bush.

Mlxg acted decisively, using Gragas's E-Flash to crash into Lulu and Jayce who were standing together.

Next, Kennen used his E to flash into the crowd, and his Thunder Prison (R) enveloped LGD's top, bottom, and support trio.

Lucian also slid forward and began to deal damage.

imp reacted quickly, using his ultimate to push Kennen away before the little trinket could be stunned by Kennen's ultimate.

The angle was just a bit off; even though Kennen was pushed away, his ultimate continued to shock Jayce and Lulu.

However, how much damage can Kennen deal with only two cloth armors and a Doran's Blade?

The truth is that Kennen's damage is ridiculously low; his entire skill combo only takes away half the health of Jayce and Lulu.

Furthermore, the fact that Gragas' ultimate had been used in the mid lane and hadn't fully healed yet gave Jayce and Lulu a glimmer of hope.

After taking the initial burst damage from RNG's top, mid, and jungle, both Jayce and Lulu still had over 100 health left.

Jayce benefited from having the highest level in the game, while Lulu survived thanks to her ultimate ability.

Of course, Lulu's treatment also played a significant role.

Zhou Dian and PYL decisively used Flash to retreat.

At the same time, a red teleportation vortex also swirled around the little cannon, a teleportation from the Fairy.

When LeBlanc landed, Kennen had already lost nearly half his health to Tristana. Jayce, who had just escaped, turned around and hit Kennen with a QE-enhanced cannon shot. Kennen was left with only half his health and escaped behind the tower.

LeBlanc teleported to the ground, immediately used Flash to use Shadow Step (W) and followed up with a set of skills, taking down the low-health Kennen.

Then he returned with a second W and left gracefully.

Kennen's record has now reached 0-3-0!

RNG's seemingly perfect ambush by the mid and jungle players ended up costing their top laner his life.
