Chapter 456 Zhou Dian is caught in a trap; Samsung's flawless operation!

At 6 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, Wei Shen and Eimy found an opportunity in the bottom lane.

In the tri-bush behind the first tower of Samsung, a half-health Taric came over to provide vision. Jarvan IV used his EQ combo to knock up Taric, and Orianna followed up with her ultimate.

However, neither of them had much equipment, so their damage output was extremely low.

Gem used his healing ability and still had a lot of health left, so he wasn't killed on the spot.

Shen then used his ultimate on Taric, creating a thick purple shield around Taric.

Seeing this, Wei Shen and Eimy stopped chasing, and Gem retreated back to his tower.

In the top lane, Shen used his ultimate ability not far from Jayce.

However, Zhou Dian's Jayce only used QE to hit Shen once, without using his hammer to interrupt Shen's ultimate.

Because it's obvious that a fight can't break out in the bottom lane.

If Shen is placed down at this point, and CuVee doesn't use his teleport back, this wave of Jayce can take down half the health of the top tower of the three-star team.

When it comes to taking down towers, few champions can match Jayce in the early game.

If this wave can whittle down half the health of Samsung's first tower, then Zhou Dian is confident that he can take down that first tower.

If Jayce can solo the first tower's gold, he'll be incredibly fed, and Jayce's full potential will be realized.

Even if Shen teleports back, LGD still comes out ahead.

Jayce's teleport will be ready soon. By then, Shen's ultimate and teleport won't be ready either. LGD can take advantage of Jayce's teleportation to give Samsung's bot lane a hard blow.

A few seconds later, Shen used his ultimate ability and went to the bottom lane.

Shen's ultimate, aside from providing a shield for the gem, served no other purpose.

After Shen went down, LGD's mid and jungle players also slipped away.

Shen did not immediately use his teleportation to return to the top lane.

It seems Cuvee still wants to save this teleportation to avoid a situation where Jayce can provide support but Shen cannot during Shen's ultimate cooldown.

It would actually be more to Zhou Dian's liking if Shen didn't send it back.

He quickly pushed the top lane minion wave to Samsung's top tower.

Just as Jayce reached the tower and before he could even attack it, a red whirlwind swept up on the tower.

It was Shen's teleportation!
It seems Cuvee is still unwilling to lose players.

Also, keep the turrets' health low so they don't get whittled down too much by Jayce.

"That works too. Shen's ultimate ability is on cooldown for two or three minutes, and he doesn't have teleport. I need to find an opportunity to do something." Zhou Dian thought to himself, while glancing at his own teleport cooldown.

It will be healed in less than half a minute.

Then, a stone curtain appeared behind Jess, cutting off his escape route.

The rock sparrow also slid down the stone curtain to the upper path.

Zhou Dian immediately understood that his deliberate use of Shen's ultimate ability to fly down had backfired, making him a target for Samsung.

Cuvee didn't teleport back to the top lane immediately; instead, he baited Jayce into pushing the lane and attacking the tower.

Zhou Dian taking the bait was practically inevitable.

Because he desperately needs to gain an advantage right now.

The moment Shen's ultimate landed in the bottom lane, Ambition and Crown avoided LGD's vision and began moving towards the top lane.

After Jayce pushed the minion wave to the top tier 1 tower of Samsung, CuVee used his teleport to return to the top lane.

Jayce's escape route was cut off by Taliyah, and he couldn't get past her with Flash, so he could only run towards the river.

But the river channel
Just as Zhou Dian predicted, Jess had just run to the riverbank when he ran straight into the barrel.

Now there's no escape.

A few seconds later, the sound of Jayce being killed came from the top lane.

Jayce's kill was taken by Taliyah.

"They're probably going to fall behind again!" With Jayce dying once more, Zhou Dian felt that LGD was drifting further and further away from this match point game.

On camera, Zhou Dian leaned back slightly, then picked up his water glass and took a big gulp.

This is to calm my fluctuating emotions.

Cuvee is indeed the most formidable opponent he has encountered since his debut.

What's even more troublesome is Samsung's terrifying teamwork ability.

There were five people on the field, but it was as if one person was operating the game.

Jayce, a level 6 player, has already died twice; this game is practically over.

If Jayce and Shen go head-to-head now, Jayce, who is at a disadvantage, might not necessarily be able to beat Shen, as Shen's Q skill deals a lot of damage.

Of course, Zhou Dian would not choose to go head-to-head with Shen. He could use Jayce's hero characteristics to constantly harass and wear down Shen, and still keep up in lane.

However, after dying twice, the threat posed by Samsung's midfielder to him was magnified infinitely.

Zhou Dian can only farm kills online now; he can't do anything else.

Especially after Taliyah's ultimate is ready, you need to be extra careful to avoid being flanked or tower-dived.

In this game, Wei Shen played Orianna, and most of the time he could only farm in the mid lane and couldn't keep up with Taliyah's pace.

The only good thing is that cuvee played Shen in this game.

If it were a damage-dealing top laner, given the current state of Jayce in the weekly rankings, Eimy would basically be tied to the top lane and have to stay there, otherwise he would have a hard time farming minions.

Now, the jungler only needs to keep an eye on things occasionally, and the player can play in the top lane on their own.

But once Jayce froze, the entire LGD team froze.

Samsung is clearly happy to see a situation where everyone develops together.

They won't take the initiative to break the deadlock; they'll just slowly guide the balance of power.

As the game time progressed, the situation on the field reached a delicate balance.

After Jayce died twice, no kills occurred for the next few minutes, and the kill score remained at 0-2.
The best indicator of the current state of the game is undoubtedly the bottom lanes of both sides.

In this game, neither of the two ADCs had returned to base from the moment they left their base until ten minutes into the game.

Both supports had already returned to base to replenish their equipment, such as control wards.

At 12 minutes and 40 seconds into the game, after LGD's bot lane duo finished pushing the lane and recalled in the bush, Samsung's bot lane duo, who had also cleared the lane, immediately recalled as well.

This was the first time both teams' ADCs had to recall to base in this game.

Interestingly, there was a three-star ward in the bush where imp's Tristana was recalling. At the time, when Tristana was recalling in the bush, Varus was not far from the bush.

However, Ruler did not charge up his Q skill to interrupt Tristana's recall. Instead, after watching Tristana recall, he pressed the B key on the spot.

As the countdown for the little cannon's recall ended, Miller couldn't help but say, "Wow, he's home, carrying a huge sum of money."

"I thought Varus would use a long-range Q to interrupt, but it seems like he'll pass!" Wawa chuckled. "Ruler is probably thinking: 'Finally home, I want to go home too.'"

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!" Miller replied with a laugh.

LGD's bot lane performed quite well in this match, managing to suppress Samsung's bot lane.

When both AD carries recalled to base for the first time, Tristana had a ten-plus CS lead over Varus.

Although the game has been going on for more than ten minutes, this last hit is nothing.

However, LGD's bottom turret is still relatively healthy, with almost no damage. Samsung's bottom turret, on the other hand, only has about half its health left.

As for the top and mid lanes, both sides have a total of four towers, and all of them are in good health.

On the surface, the game was extremely even in the early stages.

However, for this version of Jayce, being even is a disadvantage!

In this game, Jayce, who was at the peak of the week, will have a hard time performing. LGD will have to drag the game into the late game and rely on Orianna and Tristana as their two carries.

imp's Tristana returned to the fountain, bought attack speed boots and two separate items for Infinity Edge, and even the money from buying Infinity Edge wasn't enough.

On the other side, Ruler's Varus immediately pulled out a Guinsoo's Rageblade, since it's cheaper than Infinity Edge.

Back online, both sides continued to develop their characters.

Samsung's mid, jungle, and support players each buy two control wards every time they return to base.

Place a large number of true sight wards to control vision in the jungle and river, thus ensuring that the laners can farm safely.

On the other hand, LGD's Orianna and Tristana are both late-game carries that rely heavily on farming, so they buy very few wards.

Eimy buys control wards less frequently than Ambition, relying more on the two wards that come with the Sightstone jungle item.

As for the top laners, to be honest, once the mid-game arrives, whether they place a few more or fewer wards won't make much of a difference.

Sometimes the top lane position is quite frustrating, as it's easy to fall into a situation where you have very little impact on the game's outcome.

However, Zhou Dian's Jayce, although he basically couldn't carry this game, still achieved half of the purpose of picking Jayce in the first place.

That means drawing fire from other lanes.

This Jayce has successfully drawn Samsung's early firepower for his team's two carries.

LGD is currently two kills behind, but they are still a few hundred gold ahead overall.

Given the current development level of Orianna and Tristana, LGD still has a good chance of winning in the late game.

Comparing the damage output capabilities of the two teams' carries, LGD's heroes clearly have higher damage output in the late game compared to Samsung's.

However, Samsung's mid-game handling ability is too strong.

The key for LGD now is whether they can safely get through the mid-game and enter the late game to let Orianna and Tristana take over the game.

At 15 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, with a large number of true sight wards deployed, Samsung caught LGD's jungler and support recalling and took the dragon.

This is the first dragon of the game, an earth dragon.

After taking down the dragon, Taliyah, who took the initiative, used her ultimate to trap LGD's bottom lane, jungle, and support behind their own bottom lane tower.

Meanwhile, the red team pushed a wave of cannon minions into the tower, and Taliyah, Varus, and Taric took down LGD's full-health first tower in one fell swoop.

In the comparison of the next tower's health, Samsung, who was at a serious disadvantage, seized a fleeting opportunity and pushed down LGD's next tower in one fell swoop.

Samsung took the first tower in this game.

When the turret was about to fall, Taliyah immediately retreated, refusing to share the turret gold from her own bot lane.

As a result of taking the first tower, Varus's development directly surpassed that of Tristana.

When the Samsung team was attacking the tower, Zhou Dian originally wanted to teleport down and launch an attack.

However, looking around, there wasn't a single ward from LGD that could be used for teleportation in the entire bottom lane area.

Samsung has cleared the field of view too thoroughly.

With the first tower falling, LGD's entire lower jungle was completely overrun, filled with Samsung's wards, and LGD's wards were constantly being cleared.

Immediately afterwards, LGD opted to swap lanes, giving the safer lane to Tristana since there was a tower in the top lane. They also wanted to take Samsung's top tower by swapping lanes.

At 18 minutes and 20 seconds into the game, Samsung's jungler and support stole LGD's red buff and then pushed down LGD's second bottom tower.

Meanwhile, in the bottom lane, LGD only had Zhou Dian and Eimy near the second tower to defend it.

Two towers can defend against three, but three-star units always have a Taliyah that can move first, so this tower is completely undefendable.

As a result, LGD's second bottom lane tower was also destroyed.

"Ugh, this is awful, we're back to Samsung's rhythm." Miller's voice sounded a little down.

"If this second tower falls, then Samsung's momentum will be..." Wawa hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

When commentating on matches between LPL teams and teams from other regions, Wawa only commentates on matches where the LPL team is in a hopeless situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't usually say things like "LPL teams are at a huge disadvantage" or "it's very difficult to beat them".

Miller was much more direct.

"It's still Nakano's control; Samsung has seized it."

"And Zhou Shen's first-pick Jayce didn't have any effect at all. Jayce is a hero without an advantage. In the mid-game, it's really better to switch to a front-line hero."

After a pause, Miller continued, "Judging from this game, Samsung seems to have done a lot of research on how to deal with Zhou Shen's Jayce!"

On the big screen, after Samsung destroyed LGD's second bottom tower, they were still not satisfied and continued to advance with the minion wave.

At this moment, Taliyah, who was in LGD's red zone, used her ultimate ability.

A stone curtain stretched from the jungle to LGD's high ground, separating Orianna and Jarvan IV Jayce.

"What do you mean, Samsung? You want to go to the high ground? No way?" Doll said in surprise.

With their backs to the high ground, there was nothing to worry about. Zhou Dian and Eimy each used two skills to quickly clear the minions under the bottom lane high ground tower.

Samsung's players were clearly just trying it out. Once the minion wave was cleared, they turned around and left without even attacking LGD's bottom lane inhibitor tower.

It's obvious they're afraid of getting hit by Orianna's ultimate under the enemy tower.

Immediately afterwards, the observer switched the camera to the top lane.

While the main Samsung team was in the bottom lane, imp and PYL pushed down Samsung's top lane tower.

"It's alright, at least I got a different tower," Miller consoled himself.

LGD's bot lane duo, who had just destroyed Samsung's top tower, originally planned to steal the Rift Herald before Baron Nashor spawned.

After only a few exchanges, the ruler spotted it using a blue accessory.

The idea of ​​stealing the vanguard had to be abandoned.

Samsung's mid-term line switching operations were indeed top-notch, completely flawless.

A little over 21 minutes into the game, the Samsung bot lane duo, who had pushed a wave in the top lane, moved to the mid lane.

When Varus and Taric arrived in the mid lane, Taliyah had just pushed the minion wave to LGD's mid-lane tower.

No time is wasted.

Do not do anything unnecessary, and do not allow yourself any time to be idle.

This is the strength of Samsung's operations.

Samsung's five employees are like a machine, and BP is the pre-programmed program on the machine.

After the draft phase ends and the lineup is finalized, the five Samsung players will execute their predetermined strategy flawlessly.

Samsung's mid, bot, and support trio pushed to LGD's mid tower, where only Orianna and Jarvan IV were present.

In the thick wall to the left of the blue team's tower, in the bushes, Master An's wine barrel was squatting inside with the scanner on.

Since there were no wards in the bushes, the LGD players naturally didn't know that Gragas was crouching there.

After repeated battles for vision control, Samsung finally capitalized on its vision advantage to gain the upper hand.
