Chapter 450: Did they change players or did the prince collapse? LGD suffered a tough time in the early game!

The prince immediately used Smite to heal himself, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to defeat the blue buff with that much health.

After taking the blue buff, go down to the river and kill the scuttle crab to recover some health.

Next, the prince returned to the jungle to farm the Swamp Frog.

On the other side, Gragas had already cleared the F6 and red buff.

Since Samsung's bottom lane minions have remained unchanged, pushing in front of LGD's tower, Ambition decided to go and explore the Prince's jungle.

Come and go without indecent!
Since you've entered my jungle, I guess I'll have to check out your jungle too.

At 3 minutes and 27 seconds into the game, Gragas bypassed the river crab's vision range and entered LGD's lower jungle.

After destroying the scout fruit at the pass, they discovered the half-health prince fighting three wolves.

After being discovered, Eimy's safest course of action would have been to abandon the three wolves group and farm the F6 area instead.

However, Eimy held onto a sliver of hope.

He manipulated the prince to pull the three wolves towards the middle lane, positioning them in a corner to attack, intending to devour them.

It's because they're betting that Master An wouldn't dare to venture deep into enemy territory alone and forcefully rebel against these three wolves.

This gamble has backfired!
Samsung's team coordination was very fast. The moment the Gragas entered LGD's jungle, the bottom lane duo left the bottom lane and went to the river, preparing to follow into LGD's blue buff area.

The barrel continued forward, making its way along the narrow path behind the three wolves.

Upon reaching the edge of the bushes, Master An immediately spotted the prince, who was pulling the three wolves into a corner and beating them.

Two wolf cubs have been killed, and the larger one is down to only half health.

Actually, it didn't matter if we hadn't given up on the three wolves before.

But Eimy should have given up the moment he saw the barrel.

Perhaps thinking that by taking a step back, he could retreat to the vicinity of the second tower, Eimy hesitated for a moment about giving up the wolf that was about to be his.

But Sect Leader An was much more decisive.

As soon as he saw the prince's health bar, he immediately used Meatball Impact (E) and then pressed Flash.

The Gragas was quite far from Jarvan IV when he used his E, but the E-Flash still managed to hit Jarvan IV at the maximum range.

While Gragas' E-Flash isn't a particularly difficult maneuver, Ambition's E-Flash was executed by flashing just as Gragas' E reached its maximum range and was about to end.

If you're not careful, your E skill and Flash will separate and you might accidentally Flash out of nowhere.

This E-Flash is very similar to Camille's E-Flash-E, making it easy for the skill and Flash to become disconnected and fail to connect, resulting in a very high error rate.

Because the two were too far apart, Eimy had plenty of time to react and use Flash to dodge Gragas's E-Flash.

But it was also for this reason that Eimy didn't use Flash.

Eimy was thinking, "At this distance, will Gragas use his E-flash to hit me?"

If Gragas didn't have E-Flash, and just one E scared me into flashing out of my hand, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

When conflicting thoughts arise in the mind, the actions of the hands slow down by half a beat.

By the time I tried to use Flash, I was already stunned by the Gragas.

If Eimy were to encounter Gragas in a close encounter, and the two were close enough, Eimy's instincts might cause him to reflexively use Flash as soon as Gragas used his E skill.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The prince, with less than 300 health, was stunned by Gragas' E-Flash and took a full combo of Gragas' E-WAQ, but was not instantly killed and had less than 10 health left.

The prince is already doomed!
Fortunately, Eimy held back and did not use Flash to escape before the prince recovered from the stun and was not killed on the spot.

Since the prince has no skills or health potions, he will definitely be burned to death by the red buff from the Gragas with the few remaining health points.

At this point, using Flash becomes a death Flash.

The prince didn't use Flash, and Gragas finished him off with a single auto-attack, leaving him with only a few drops of health.

First Blood!
The Gragas secured First Blood in this game and also took down the remaining wolves that the Prince was fighting.

In the commentary box.

Miller was still saying, "Never mind, let him have the three wolves," when he saw the Prince get the first blood from the Gragas.

"Hey, hey, this wave... was a bit too greedy!" Wawa said, somewhat surprised.

"That's a bit greedy!" Miller shook his head as well.

"That was such a decisive E-flash from Ambition!" Wawa said. "Actually, he should have used Flash when he saw Gragas use E."

"This is a bit of a blow; the Prince's early game momentum has been disrupted!"

This wave of damage is more than just a little; it's actually extremely damaging.

It's no less bad than the last game where Ambition's Prince gave away first blood just before the jungle monsters respawned.

In this game, Eimy's Prince was caught in a counter-jungling attempt at level two, and then killed in his own jungle at level three.

The Gragas leveled up to level four after eating LGD's Big Wolf.

In terms of rank, he was directly one level ahead of the prince.

In the previous game, Eimy's Gragas pulled ahead of Ambition's Jarvan IV by one level, also at the point when Gragas reached level 5.

And this round of An Zhangmen's work needs to be done in advance.

In terms of early game tempo alone, Eimy's Jarvan IV in this game collapsed even more severely than Ambition's Jarvan IV in the previous game.

The two junglers swapped heroes this game, but the result remained the same.

It's all because the princes died!

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

"Didn't we say we'd just go? What are you being greedy for? We can't get through the bottom lane," PYL said, somewhat angrily.

“Mine, mine,” Eimy said repeatedly.

"It's just the first blood, let's take it slow!" Zhou Dian spoke up in time to stop the topic.

The jungler's early game rhythm collapsed, but it wasn't the end of the world, and the whole team didn't collapse.

However, it's possible that PYL was under a lot of pressure because the bottom lane was constantly being pushed under the tower.

That's when he couldn't help but complain about Eimy giving away first blood by greedily farming jungle monsters.

In this match, Rumble and Gnar were trading blows aggressively in the early game, and both of them had already used up their health potions by level three.

If you start with Doran's Shield, you can usually keep your health potions for a long time.

The fact that the prince died at his own wolves' lair at level three caused a chain reaction that made it impossible for the mid laner to stay in lane either.

With the prince dead, Wei Shen quickly pushed the mid lane minion wave while Malzahar was on the defensive, then went to the upper river, hid in the small bushes in the middle of the river, and pressed the B key to recall.

Before returning to base, Galio placed his trinket ward in the river.

Galio had just started counting down to recall when Gragas appeared on the mid lane and headed straight for LGD's F6 camp.

Crown controlled Malzahar and entered the top river, but didn't go too deep before returning to the mid lane to push the lane.

"Crown is looking for Wei Shen, he wants to keep Galio!" Miller said upon seeing this.

"Wow, even the barrels here are going to eat our F6. Master An has a very good grasp of this situation!" Wawa added.

At this moment, the resurrected prince had already left the high ground and entered his own upper jungle.

The prince didn't have enough gold to upgrade his Sightstone jungle item, so he could only buy a Hunter's Talisman at the start of the game.

The remaining money was used to upgrade the two-layer reusable potion to a five-layer hunter potion.

The prince, having descended from the high ground, headed straight for his own F6.

The OB camera then panned to Galio.

Galio, who had just returned to the fountain, immediately used his teleportation ability.

The teleportation location is right in the upper river, at the eye of the ornament that Wei Shen himself left a few seconds ago.

The purpose of Galio's teleport is self-evident.

Galio and the Prince flanked the Gragas who was attacking the F6 camp.

"Hey, that barrel without Flash, we can take him down!" Miller exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the teleport. "But are those two enough to do enough damage?" Doll chimed in.

Master An made the same mistake as Eimy half a minute earlier.

Seeing the prince rushing straight towards his face, it was clear that someone had come to protect him.

However, all of the F6 units in front of him, big and small, were reduced to half health, and Gragas could finish them off with a single Q and Smite.

A whole group of F6s!
This is far more tempting than the lone wolf Eimy faced earlier.

Even though it's someone else's F6, Master An still can't bear to part with it.

After seeing Galio rush into his vision range, Ambition waited for half a second until Gragas' Q skill was ready, and then used Q plus Smite to take down the entire F6 camp.

Then, Master An, satisfied, controlled the wine barrel and made his escape.

But that half-second delay made it very difficult for the Gragas, who didn't have Flash, to escape.

The prince used his EQ combo twice, leaping over the wall and lifting the wine barrel.

Galio followed up with a charged taunt, then unleashed War Gale (Q) at Gragas, followed by a basic attack with his passive on Gragas.

Then Justice Punch (E) charged at the barrel, but missed.

Galio's E skill was dodged by Gragas with a sideways movement.

Wei Shen's combo here went wrong.

Galio can taunt Gragas with W and then use Q without any problem.

However, you should immediately follow up with E after using Q, knock up the barrel, and then use the passive auto-attack.

By using a basic attack first and then E, the taunt duration just expired, allowing Gragas to escape control.

The barrel, barely alive with low health, was about to burst through the wall and into the river with a Human Bomb (E) attack.

Meanwhile, Malzahar, the mid laner from Samsung, also came to provide support.

However, Malzahar was low on mana, and after using his Q skill, he could only provide vision support for Gragas.

Seeing that the barrel was about to escape, Eimy decisively used a dodge.

The prince used Flash to reach the river ahead of the barrel.

Gragas used his E skill to jump over the thin wall, but only covered half the distance of the skill's dash before crashing into Jarvan IV and coming to a stop.

Without hesitation, Wei Shen used Flash to enter the river.

The two chased Gragas for a while, and when Galio's Q skill was ready, he finished off Gragas with a single Wind of War (Q).

"Wait for the next Q, I got it!" the doll shouted.

Galio's Q not only took down Gragas, but also hit Malzahar, breaking Malzahar's passive immunity shield.

The prince's E skill was ready at this point, and he used an EQ combo to knock up Malzahar again.

"There's more! There's more!" Miller shouted urgently, "Can you force out a Flash?"

"Oh, what a pity!"

Malzahar still had a lot of health left, and when he was provoked by Jarvan IV's EQ combo, he was already almost at the front of his own base tower.

Malzahar was left with about 100 HP when he walked back to the tower.

Crown's Flash was executed very well!
However, this wave is not bad for LGD.

After killing the Gragas, Galio got two buffs and had a comfortable laning phase for the next two minutes.

However, Eimy's rhythm was still quite off.

The prince got an assist and even used his Flash in this play.

F6 was also eaten by the Gragas, and now LGD only has one set of Krugs to farm in their two jungle areas.

Eimy quickly maneuvered the prince to the upper river and ate the upper river crab.

After taking the river crab, the prince moved into the three-star blue buff area, while Galio cleared the minions under the tower and headed straight for the top lane.

At this point, Rumble was almost pushing the minion wave to the top lane tower of Samsung.

Upon seeing this minion wave in the top lane, LGD's mid and jungle players couldn't resist diving the top lane tower.

The main reason is that I'm more used to facing the opposing top laner.

The prince arrived at the blue side's top lane tri-bush first, but Gnar's health was very good, almost full.

Eimy and Zhou Dian, two heroes without crowd control, definitely can't reduce Gnar's health to that level.

We still have to wait for Galio to arrive.

However, Samsung's response was really fast.

Crown, who teleported back to the online lane, saw that Galio was gone and immediately controlled Malzahar to move upwards.

Meanwhile, the resurrected Gragas also headed straight for the top lane as soon as he left the house.

"We can't get past it, we can't get past it, forget it!" Zhou Dian quickly said to his teammates.

Judging from Nar's confident demeanor, reinforcements must be arriving soon.

So both sides' mid and jungle players retreated, some farming minions and others farming jungle camps.

“At this point, I think Eimy shouldn’t rush things; he needs to clear the jungle first!” Wawa said.

"If we don't grind now, the level gap might widen significantly because of the Gragas."

The OB camera cuts back to the bottom lane, and it's the same scene again.

LGD's bot lane had just finished last-hitting the tower and the minion wave had swelled up a bit, so Samsung's bot lane took the opportunity to steal points.

"The bot lane seems to be doing alright right now," Miller said hesitantly. "At least Twitch isn't falling behind in last hits, and he hasn't run out of health potions yet, so he's holding on."

It wasn't that Miller was deliberately trying to flatter, but the OB view was a bit too low, and LGD's next tower wasn't in the full frame.

Otherwise Miller would have seen that in just over 5 minutes, LGD's next tower had already lost almost half its health.

As for the fact that the rat's last-hitting ability is still good, it can only be attributed to imp's excellent basic skills.

The rat, who doesn't have much offensive power when starting out, basically spends the whole game farming under the tower.

It's already quite an achievement that they can still keep up with the number of last hits.

The combination of Rat and Gem is really too difficult to fight against Varus and Janna.

If this happened in a casual game, the Prince would already be getting flamed by the bot lane.

The enemy bot lane is always pushing in front of the tower, why don't you come and gank?

However, Eimy really couldn't handle this situation.

It's very difficult to kill Samsung's bottom lane; if they get counter-ganked, it's game over. It's understandable that Jarvan IV doesn't come here often.

Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Malzahar made a crucial play during his recall in the previous wave.

As Malzahar's level gradually increased, Galio could no longer push the lane.

Fortunately, Galio had two buffs, allowing him to withstand the damage and push forward, stabilizing the mid lane minion wave.

After Eimy's Prince cleared his own Krugs, there were no more jungle monsters to farm.

At this point, none of the other monsters had respawned, only the Swamp Frog had.

But that distance is too far.

Time is precious in the early game. Running around the entire map just for a toad?
Since we're not farming jungle camps, we'll have to focus on doing other things.

Eimy saw that the minion wave was close to Samsung's side in the top lane, making it impossible to gank.

Zhou Dian was also helpless. When he played Rumble, he would definitely have to push the lane and use the minion wave to put pressure on Gnar.

Otherwise, if Gnar pushes the lane, he'll know how torturous Gnar can be when he's farming under the tower in melee.

Looking again at the mid lane, Galio was recalling under the tower.

Got it!
With no monsters to farm and nothing to do, the prince, who had just reached level four, could only return to base to replenish his equipment.

Eimy's early game rhythm was extremely poor.
