Chapter 461 Samsung's Style Suddenly Changes! Zhou Dian Goes All Out in the Lane!
Zhou Dian's Fiora followed up with a QW combo from behind, and Laurent's Mind's Eye (W) hit Gnar, slowing him down again.

At this moment, Wei Shen's Dragon King released Galaxy Surge (Q).

Without Flash or E, Gnar, severely slowed, had no room to dodge Aurelion Sol's Q skill and was immediately stunned in place.

Next, it was the prince and Fiora taking turns tanking the tower.

LGD's top, mid, and jungle trio quickly killed Gnar, with the kill going to Wei Shen's Aurelion Sol.

First Blood!
The system notification sound for the first kill echoed throughout the venue, eliciting cheers from the audience.

"First blood on Gnar, beautiful!" Miller shouted.

"You took first blood from our top laner last game, right? This game, we'll take it back from your top laner!"

"Beautiful!" the doll echoed.

"The only slight drawback is that the first blood wasn't given to Zhou Shen's Fiora," Miller continued.

"Same, same, even the Dragon King can take it without any problem!"

"That's true. You can't just let people get kills when you're tower diving in the early game, it's easy to run into trouble." Miller chuckled.

"However, this is Zhou Shen's Fiora. Every time his Fiora gets a kill, the team's win rate increases by 10%."

"It sounds a bit exaggerated, but that's how I feel."

Anyway, all the LPL commentators are praising Zhou Dian now, and Miller's praise isn't even the most exaggerated.

However, LGD intentionally gave the first blood to Aurelion Sol.

In this game, Wei Shen's Dragon King will inevitably roam around a lot, abandoning the minion waves. In the early game, let the Dragon King get some kills to replenish his experience and economy.

The reason they dared to abandon the minion wave and roam like that is naturally because Samsung's mid laner in this game is Galio.

Galio is a hero who can farm a lot of minions without any problems; he's basically just a utility hero.

In the commentary booth, Miller continued, "When Aurelion Sol flew directly to the top lane at level three and cooperated with the top and jungle to kill Gnar, I finally understood LGD's intention in picking Aurelion Sol in this game."

“Indeed!” Doll nodded: “Whether it’s Galio, Taliyah, or Ryze, such large-scale sudden roaming can only be done after reaching level six and having their ultimate!”

"But the Dragon King's support skill is a minor skill, which can be learned before level six."

Then, a replay of what had just happened was shown on the big screen.

After watching the replay, Miller couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the LGD we've been waiting for! This is the same top-mid-jungle synergy that LGD used to rely on to dominate – they just relentlessly gank your top laner!"

"This tower dive wasn't just a three-man gank on the enemy top laner."

"I think LGD must have planned what to do at this point in the draft phase."

"Whether it's the choice of the Dragon King hero, the jungle route of the Prince who doesn't farm jungle monsters, or the perfectly timed push into the tower in the top lane, all of these were planned in advance."

Miller was right about that.

This tower dive was certainly not the result of Zhou Dian, Eimy, and Wei Shen's impromptu performance.

You can do these things on the spot, but you won't be able to time them perfectly.

It was so perfect that Gnar had no time to escape, and his teammates had no chance to rescue him.

From the start of the game until now, Zhou Dian has been directing Eimy and Wei Shen's actions.

In the first two minutes of the laning phase, cuvee could clearly feel that Zhou Dian suddenly lost his dominance in the laning phase.

He thought Zhou Dian had a mental breakdown and was starting to give up.

In reality, Zhou Dian devoted a lot of energy to planning every move of his mid and jungle players in the first few minutes, leaving him with little energy for the laning phase.

Having made the initial preparations and achieved the initial goal of securing first blood on Gnar, Zhou Dian will now focus all his energy on Fiora's laning phase.

If anything unexpected happens later, he'll have to step in!
His energy is limited after all. LGD getting the first blood on Gnar means that the pre-match arrangements were completely on track.

LGD can now proceed according to their pre-arranged plan.

The situation is going smoothly, proceeding according to plan, and all qualified professional players are performing well.

What truly distinguishes top players from ordinary players is their ability to handle unexpected situations.

This is why some players can only perform well when they are winning; you don't have high expectations for them when they are losing.

For some players, no matter how unfavorable the situation, their fans always have high hopes for them, believing that they have a chance to turn things around.

Returning to this game, before LGD's mid and jungle players even appeared under Gnar's tower, Ambition already knew that Gnar was doomed and that the first blood was inevitable.

So Anzhangmen's blind man turned around and started farming LGD's three wolves.

Before the three wolves were even finished, Gnar had already been killed.

Anzhangmen showed no emotional fluctuation, controlling the blind man to move downwards, and then started farming LGD's Swamp Frog.

However, he was already plotting a plan to kill Fiora.

Ambition and the Samsung coaching staff have conducted in-depth research on LGD, especially on Zhou Dian.

Gnar was tower-dived and killed like that. In other teams, they might have told Gnar to play it safe and withstand the pressure.

Because Nar will inevitably be targeted again.

Instead of running to the top lane and getting into a chaotic fight with LGD's top, mid, and jungle, it would be safer to focus on other lanes.

To everyone, "stability" is Samsung's biggest label, and Samsung will definitely deal with this game in this way.

However, Samsung is known for its stable operations.

But this doesn't mean it only knows how to operate and doesn't know other strategies.

The fact that Master An chose the Blind Monk in this game is proof of this.

Samsung's coaching staff is well aware of Zhou Dian's ability to carry the game and had contingency plans for the situation that had already occurred.

Sect Leader An knew he couldn't just leave the journey unattended.

Otherwise, the gap on the top lane will widen, and the combined efforts of five Samsung players might not be enough to counter the split-pushing and control of a single player from the top lane.

Taking action against Fiora is certain, but now is not the time.

After Lee Sin cleared LGD's wolves and grouse, Ambition chose to recall.

On the other side, after diving the tower and killing Gnar, Zhou Dian, Wei Shen, and Eimy all chose to return to base.

After returning to base, the prince upgraded his jungle item to a Sightstone jungle item, then left the fountain and headed straight for the upper jungle.

Eimy knew that the two camps of jungle monsters in the lower half of the jungle had definitely been eaten by Lee Sin, so he didn't bother going there.

Putting aside the matter of killing Gnar, this move was still a win for Prince.

The prince ate Samsung's red buff and two sets of jungle monsters, the Gromp and the Lee Sin. The Lee Sin also ate LGD's three wolves and two sets of jungle monsters, the Gromp and the wolves.

However, the red buff is much more valuable than the three wolves.

Moreover, without the red buff, the blind man's ganking efficiency in the early game has also decreased.

Not to mention the prince also ate two river crabs.

Arriving in his own upper jungle, where all three camps of monsters are present, the Prince can now enjoy a satisfying farm.

After returning to the city, Master An's blind man did not upgrade his jungle item, but instead bought a longsword.

After using the remaining money to buy a real eye, the blind man went out and headed straight for the middle road.

After picking Lee Sin in this game, it was the first time in all of Ambition's matches in this World Championship that he recalled to base without upgrading his jungle item, instead opting to build damage items. This is actually a demonstration of his determination.

Most viewers, including the commentators, did not notice this detail.

And emerging from the fountain behind the blind man was Samsung's support hero, Rakan.

Luo's return to the city this time was just a normal return.

Karma's suppression ability was too strong, and CoreJJ was suffering greatly from being worn down.

But he should have gone back a few seconds earlier. He deliberately waited until he returned to the city at about the same time as the blind man, which was obviously intentional.

As soon as Longwang returned to the online game, PYL's voice came through Wei Shen's headphones.

"Luo has returned to base. If he's going to gank you in the mid lane, he should be here around now. Be careful and wait for Luo to show up before pushing the lane."

"OK! No problem!" Wei Shen said confidently.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Galio, standing in front of Wei Shen, used a W-flash to taunt the Dragon King.

Then, the blind man and Luo peeked out from the right side.

Galio at this stage is indeed difficult to defend against if he goes first.

It charges up Durand's Shield (W) in place, then uses W Flash, leaving no way to dodge.

You can't just use Flash every time you see Galio charging up his W, can you? Where do you get so many Flashes?
After taunting Aurelion Sol, Galio follows up with Justice Punch (E) to knock Aurelion Sol away.

Wei Shen always stood on the left side, far away from the river on the right.

So even though he was hit by Galio's two crowd control abilities, Lee Sin didn't have enough time to get within range of Aurelion Sol's Q.

Seeing that the distance was about right, Master An moved forward a bit by touching his eye, and then used Heavenly Sound Wave (Q) to attack.

Wei Shen started spamming Flash as soon as he saw the Blind Man and Luo Lu's heads.

Just as the blind man's sonic wave was about to hit the Dragon King's face, the Dragon King finally broke free from Galio's control, flashed out, and escaped into the upper river.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and the Dragon King was not hit by the blind man's attack.

"Hey, didn't get the Q. Okay, Flash for Flash!" the doll shouted.

Crown had almost given up chasing Galio after seeing that the Blind Monk hadn't landed his Q, and Galio had already turned away.

But seeing that the blind man and Luo were still chasing after them, he turned around and followed them.

Wei Shen controlled the Dragon King to take two steps forward, then turned slightly to the right and entered his own red buff area, where the Prince was currently attacking the red buff.

However, seeing that Aurelion Sol was being chased by Samsung's mid, jungle and support, Eimy quickly used Smite on the red buff and controlled Jarvan IV to move down the map to support Aurelion Sol.

But just as Wei Shen made that turn, the Dragon King, who was walking diagonally, was immediately brought closer by the Blind Man, who was walking in a straight line.

Wei Shen knew that turning back to his own jungle would allow Lee Sin to close the distance, but Lee Sin's Q and W skills had just been used and were still on cooldown, so he wasn't too afraid.

However, Wei Shen clearly underestimated the determination of those people at Samsung to kill him.

CoreJJ, who was hanging at the very back, saw the distance between the Dragon King and the Blind Man, and decisively used Flash and Dance of the Two (E) to get to the Blind Man's side, and then made a grand entrance (W) to make his move.

On the big screen, Luo's Flash-EW combo was incredibly smooth, with several skills appearing to be released almost simultaneously, spanning most of the screen and lifting Aurelion Sol at the edge of the Grand Entrance (W) skill.

Wei Shen had just run into the bushes behind the red buff when he found himself being lifted up by Luo.

"Holy crap, they actually managed to lift that?!" Wei Shen cried out in despair.

As soon as the Dragon King was lifted up by Rakan, Galio and the Blind Monk immediately caught up.

At the same time, the Prince who came to provide support used an EQ combo to knock up Galio and Lee Sin, preventing Aurelion Sol from getting the damage from the three-star mid and jungle immediately.

However, this did nothing to help.

After using his W skill to lift the Dragon King, Luo took two steps forward and attacked the Blast Cone, cutting off the Dragon King's last chance to survive.

One second later, Master An's blind man hit the Dragon King with a precise Heavenly Sound Wave (Q).

Seeing this, Eimy ran away without looking back; there was no way to save him.

Zhou Dian was already on his way to provide support, but when he saw that the half-health Aurelion Sol had been hit by Lee Sin's Q, he immediately controlled Fiora to return to the top lane.

I need to reply quickly, or I'll miss out on experience points.

Immediately afterwards, the Dragon King was killed by the three members of the Samsung team.

The only good news might be that the Dragon King's kill was secured by the support hero, Rakan.

With his own jungler dead, the prince dared not stay in the upper jungle.

At this point, Eimy could only be thankful that he had managed to remove the red buff with Smite, otherwise he definitely would have lost it.

The red buff was saved, but the remaining Krugs in the upper jungle were definitely not going to be saved.

After killing the Dragon King, Master An's blind man went straight to attack LGD's Stone Beetle.

After the blind man used his Smite to kill the large stone beetle, he simply ran away.

Master An didn't dare to continue hitting the younger ones.

Logically speaking, LGD shouldn't dare to defend against this stone beetle.

However, in Ambition's view, these guys from LGD, especially Ueno and Jungler, have always been unpredictable, and who knows what they're thinking.

That's enough to get rid of the big stone beetle. Time to go, don't be greedy!
In the commentary box.

"Wow, Samsung played a completely different style this game compared to the previous few. They played so aggressively!" said Wawa.

Miller shook his head. "Sigh! Wei Shen was a bit careless this time. He thought the opponent wouldn't chase anymore, but Samsung managed to catch up and kill him."

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

"Little Wei, didn't I tell you to be careful?" PYL's tone carried a slight complaint.

"Damn it, Samsung is really sticking to this, I can't escape!"

Before PYL could say anything more, Wei Shen continued, "My bad, my bad, I'll be more careful next time."

Wei Shen admitted his mistake, which brought the topic to a close.

Fortunately, the Dragon King was online when he was killed, so his teleportation was still active.

After dying in this wave, he was immediately teleported back to the lane, so he didn't lose much experience compared to Galio.

Cuvee's Gnar also didn't lose much experience.

After being tower-dived and killed by several LGD players, he respawned and immediately teleported back to the lane.

Because of the experience gained from killing Gnar, LGD's team split the kill among three players, and Zhou Dian's Fiora didn't get First Blood, only an assist.

So in the top lane, although Gnar died once, he didn't fall behind Fiora in any aspect.

But in this situation, Cuvee clearly sensed that something was wrong.

The Fiora he was facing now was somewhat different from the Fiora he had faced two minutes earlier.

It was like two people were playing the game.

This is naturally because Zhou Dian has already devoted all his energy to the laning phase.
