Chapter 470 My Zhou Dian's first blood is not so easy to take.
In the previous game, what particularly shocked Master An was Zhou Dian's reaction speed.

That's ridiculously fast!
Moreover, it wasn't just a single wave of incredibly fast reactions; it was every single wave of incredibly fast reactions!

Facing Zhou Dian, Master An was afraid that the moment he emerged from the bushes, he would give Zhou Dian room to react, so Master An decided to let CuVee's Shen make the first move.

Cuvee was also well aware of Zhou Dian's terrifying reaction speed.

If Shen goes first, then Shen will inevitably have to use his E-Flash.

Don't be fooled by Zhou Dian's apparent lack of preparedness for the impending gank.

But cuvee dares to guarantee that it's practically impossible for Shen to reach the top of the week's Karma rank just by using E.

If the Lee Sin initiates first, and uses the double slow from the red buff and the ground slam to stick to Karma, then Shen has a great chance to save his Flash.

After experiencing LGD's frequent three-man ganks and tower dives in the top lane in the previous games, Cuvee's subconscious thought was to save his Flash if possible, as it might be able to defuse a tower dive.

However, given his absolute trust in Sect Leader An, and since Sect Leader An allowed him to make the first move, there was no reason to hesitate.

let's go!

Shen stepped forward to cover the red melee unit to the side.

Seeing Shen slightly exposed behind the minion wave, Zhou Dian naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to harass him.

Karma took a step to the side and unleashed a Mind Flame (Q).

When Shen was hit by Karma's Q, Shen's Soul Blade had already slashed down, but he hadn't yet auto-attacked the melee minion in front of him.

The next moment, Shen still hadn't managed to land an attack on the melee minion.

Shen's E skill interrupted his basic attack.

At the same time, a flash of yellow light appeared, and Shen's E-Flash hit Karma, taunting her.

Zhou Dian used Shen's basic attack animation to unleash his skill and harass him, while CuVee did the same by using Karma's skill animation to counter her.

As Shen Shanxian's yellow light flashed by, a thought also flashed through Zhou Dian's mind.

The blind man has arrived!

But by the time the thought reached your finger and you pressed the flash button, it was too late.

Even the fastest reaction time still has a limit.

Shen's first move gave Zhou Dian no time to react.

However, Zhou Dian's gaming style is that he will never put himself in a completely uncontrollable environment.

If it really comes to that, the outcome will depend on luck.

Zhou Dian doesn't like to leave the outcome of things to luck.

If everything depends on luck, then you might as well play Candy Crush instead of League of Legends.

Although Zhou Dian was not sure of the Blind Monk's location, he did not want to give up any opportunity to suppress Shen.

However, they have also made arrangements to prevent ganks.

That's positioning!
After the ward he placed in the top lane river bush expired, he instinctively took two steps back and also moved one step to the left.

After this step, Zhou Dian always made sure that there were his own minions on Karma's right side.

At this moment, Karma was taunted by Shen's E-flash, and the minions on Karma's right side came into play.

When Shen used his E skill, Ambition controlled Lee Sin to walk out of the river bush in the top lane.

Karma was then taunted by Shen's E-flash.

The damage output of a Lee Sin with the red buff in the early game is self-evident.

Moreover, Shen's Q skill deals considerable damage with its three strikes.

Karma is essentially a long-range mage; aside from her skills and equipment, she suffers from the common weaknesses of long-range mages.

That means it's extremely fragile.

At this point, if Lee Sin can deal damage to Karma immediately, combined with Shen's damage output, they can focus fire and kill Karma during the taunt's control duration; the damage output is more than enough.

In Ambition's plan, after Shen mocked Karma, the Blind Man would have already emerged from the bushes.

Then, the Sonic Wave (Q) hits Karma, and then the second Q flies to Karma.

With Lee Sin and Shen unleashing their combined damage, Karma was unable to use any of her abilities and was instantly killed.

If she's lucky, Karma might even use a Death Flash.

However, in reality, after Shen taunted Karma, two red team minions stood between Karma and Lee Sin, blocking Lee Sin's Sonic Wave (Q) path.

What annoyed Master An the most was that Karma and the minions were next to each other.

So although the two minions didn't occupy a large area, for Lee Sin's Sonic Wave (Q) skill with its long and narrow projectile, the two minions blocked a large portion of the angle from which Lee Sin could cast Q.

If the blind man were to bypass the angle blocked by the minions, by the time he'd taken those two steps, it would be too late, and Shen's taunt time would have definitely passed.

You can't use Q directly!

So Master An chose to approach by touching his eyes.

At this point, the distance between Karma and Lee Sin had reached the limit of Lee Sin's E skill.

Lee Sin quickly slammed his fist on the ground, then used his second E to slow Karma down before walking towards her face.

Although doing this is less time-consuming than finding an angle to directly Q Karma.

But ultimately, they missed the best opportunity to focus fire on Karma together with Shen.

When Lee Sin passed the minions on Karma's side and hit Karma face-to-face with his Sonic Wave (Q), Karma had already escaped Shen's taunt control.

Samsung's top and jungle players hadn't yet unleashed their full damage potential, but the petite Karma already had only a couple hundred health points left.

When Master An saw that he and Cuvee failed to focus fire and kill Karma immediately, he was not flustered at all.

The most crucial thing is that Lee Sin has already landed a Q on you. With your health so low, where can you run to?
However, Ambition underestimated how disgusting Karma was in the top lane.

If you can't kill Karma immediately, you'll have to put in many times more effort later.

The moment Karma escaped Shen's taunt, she flashed to create distance between herself and the Samsung top and jungle.

Meanwhile, a chain connects Lee Sin and Karma.

It's Karma's ultimate ability, Unwavering (W), which has been buffed.

At roughly the same time, Karma also cast her E skill shield on herself and used it to speed up her escape.

Karma's enhanced Spirit Link, when triggered, restores 17% of her lost health.

This is just the base stats; after being buffed by equipment and talents, the actual healing amount will be much greater.

Ambition's Lee Sin quickly followed up with his second Q, unleashing all of Lee Sin's remaining damage on Karma.

At this point, Shen can no longer provide any damage output; it all depends on Lee Sin's damage.

Lee Sin uses his second Q followed by a basic attack, then another auto-attack.

Hmm, how come he's still not dead?
Why is it so meaty?!
Master An was filled with questions.

If Zhou Dian could hear Master An's question, he would probably retort, "Do you even understand the value of the Undying Grip? Do you even understand the value of hitting 21 points in the Resolve tree?!"

Karma's E skill shield absorbed a portion of Lee Sin's damage.

More importantly, between the two basic attacks from the blind man, Karma, who had been focused on running away, turned around and attacked the blind man once.

This triggered Grasp of the Undying, restoring several health points to Karma. It was these few points that prevented Karma from being immediately finished off by the Lee Sin.

Then, Karma's chain was triggered, and Lee Sin was rooted to the spot.

At the same time, Karma recovered a large amount of health, bringing her health to over 100 points.

Master An immediately felt a rush of blood to his head!

When he saw that Karma had only a few drops of blood left, he had a bad feeling.

But Master Ambition still clung to a last glimmer of hope, pinning his hopes on the red buff immediately burning Karma to death from her low health.

Before the red buff could even take effect, Karma's RW combo had already triggered, and Karma instantly recovered a significant amount of health.

At the same time, the blind man was also imprisoned in place.

Sect Leader An was furious!
But there was nothing he could do; before Karma's RW could be triggered, Lee Sin had already dealt all the damage he could.

It's just a few points of health short, what can we do about it!

In other words, Flash cannot reset basic attacks, otherwise Ambition would definitely have given the audience a Lee Sin A-Flash-A combo.

In the commentary box.

"Hey, ouch, you're not dead!"

Miller, whose voice had been waning, suddenly raised his voice upon witnessing this scene, excitedly shouting, "The blind man missed a little bit of damage! Karma seems to be alive!"

"Luck has finally turned in our favor!" the doll shouted.

At this moment, on the large screen at the scene.

Karma RW managed to recover some health and survive, and even managed to root Lee Sin, but surprisingly, she didn't immediately run back to her own tower.

After Karma auto-attacked the Lee Sin again, Zhou Dian calmly turned Karma around and walked leisurely toward his own top tower.

It was this simple, basic attack that provoked Master An and completely broke through his psychological defenses.

Sect Leader An, who rarely gets carried away, has become extremely excited this time!

After Lee Sin broke free from Karma's RW restraint, Ambition, disregarding that Karma was about to return to the tower, immediately used Flash to chase after her without hesitation.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and the Lee Sin re-attached Karma.

However, although Karma's health is low, Lee Sin's skills are all on cooldown, so it will inevitably take some time to kill Karma.

The next moment, Karma stepped into her own defensive tower.

The blind monk followed without stopping for even a moment, directly into the tower.

Seeing this, Zhou Dian smiled slightly and quickly said in the team voice chat, "Hurry up and attack the dragon!"

“OK, OK! That’s exactly what I was thinking!” Eimy replied immediately.

Master An has clearly gone mad; he's determined to take Karma's life, even if it means being replaced.

Since that was the case, Zhou Dian had no choice but to tell Eimy to hurry up and fight the dragon.

Do you think getting first blood on my weekly chart is so easy?
Even a one-for-one exchange wouldn't be enough!
Ambition controlled Lee Sin to chase into the tower, and after taking two hits from the tower, his W and E skills were ready again.

So they killed Karma.

This time, Zhou Dian truly has nowhere to escape; the fact that it has dragged on for so long is somewhat beyond his own expectations.

First Blood!
The game notification sounded, indicating that Lee Sin had secured the first blood on Karma.

A collective sigh of disappointment immediately filled the audience.

The vast majority of the audience was there to support LPL, so it's normal for a chorus of groans to erupt when Zhou Dian gave up the first blood; it was purely a subconscious reaction.

In the commentary booth, commentators Wawa and Miller didn't seem to have these emotions.

As a commentator, I can still see the situation clearly.

"Hey, Master An is really going crazy. He's determined to kill Karma today."

Miller quickly said, "The Lee Sin still managed to chase down Karma and get First Blood. There's nothing we can do about it."

"But it's obvious that the Blind Monk can't escape here!"

One second later, Lee Sin was killed by the turret, and Karma got the kill.

“One for one, Zhou Shen is not at a loss at all!” Miller continued.

"Karma used Flash, which resulted in Shen and Lee Sin using Flash twice. Lee Sin also lost his buff, which will have repercussions!"

"Although the first blood is worth 100 more gold and Samsung gets an extra assist, I still think that Zhou Shen and An Zhangmen trading one for one is a completely worthwhile trade."

The doll nodded, about to say something in agreement, when she suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of her eye.

He immediately changed his tune, saying, "It's not just a loss, I think LGD really profited this time! Look at the position of the Gragas."

As soon as the baby finished speaking, the OB (observer) also moved the camera from the top lane to the dragon pit.

At this moment, Eimy's Gragas is fighting the dragon alone in the dragon pit, and has already taken down a lot of the dragon's health.

"The game has only been going on for a little over four minutes. If we can take down a water dragon this early, it's an absolute steal!"

From the observer's perspective, it can be seen that in the early stages, Gragas struggled quite a bit against the Water Dragon.

Although it was a tough fight, if no one else interfered, Gragas could easily solo the Water Dragon.

It's a bit slow, of course.

Under normal circumstances, no one would take such a risk.

Because if anyone from the other side comes along while the Gragas is fighting the Water Dragon, the Gragas won't be able to fight the Water Dragon, and might even lose his life.

Eimy was able to play with confidence because no one from Samsung was likely to come to the Dragon Pit area at that moment.

On Samsung's side, Lee Sin just died and hasn't come back to life yet.

The bottom lane duo was pinned under the tower and unable to move.

While Malzahar has decent wave clear in the mid lane, he definitely won't have an advantage against Lucian and won't be able to move much.

Therefore, the water dragon was already in the barrel's grasp.

It could be said that Zhou Dian's loss of first blood was partly intended to draw enemy fire.

If the first dragon in this round wasn't a water dragon, Zhou Dian could still have been killed by Master An, but definitely not at this point in time.

On the other side, Lee Sin tower-dived and chased Karma down, trading one for one with Karma. After that, Ambition looked at the gray screen in front of him and calmed down completely.

Once he calmed down, Sect Leader An immediately realized a problem.

I wasted too much time on the road, and the Water Dragon is in danger!
Now, all Ambition hopes is that when his Lee Sin shows up in the top lane, Gragas will be far away from the dragon as soon as possible.

At the same time, Eimy wasn't bold enough; before the Lee Sin tower dived for a one-for-one trade, he didn't have the determination to rush the dragon immediately.

In this way, there is still a possibility that the water dragon can be saved.

As soon as the Blind Monk respawned, Master An immediately controlled him to rush out of the fountain without stopping.

Before the Blind Monk could even leave the high ground, Ambition heard the game notification in his headset that the dragon had been killed.

Sect Leader An shook his head helplessly.
