Chapter 474 The one involved is blinded, and Sect Leader An is greatly deceived!
Samsung's team voice chat was also completely silent at this moment.

Upon seeing Malzahar's death, Ambition, who was about to say something about his mid-laner, swallowed his words.

He then silently controlled the Lee Sin, who was heading to the bottom lane, to turn around and head towards his own first tower.

Feeling the sudden silence in the team's voice chat, Master An suddenly had a feeling that something had quietly changed.

Looking at Karma with only a sliver of health left, it seemed that the right timing, the right place, the right people, or even "fate" had silently sided with their opponents, LGD.

Shaking his head again, Sect Leader An dismissed the random thoughts that had suddenly popped into his mind.

At this moment, under Samsung's mid tower, Malzahar had just started clearing the wave when he was "forced" into the tower by LGD's mid and top laners in a bandit-like manner.

This resulted in the entire wave of red minions that had entered Samsung's first tower still having more than half remaining.

Karma, who had just stepped out of the tower with a sliver of health, immediately turned back and, together with Lucian, began attacking the tower with great enthusiasm!

"Give me a shield, give me a shield!" Wei Shen said with a laugh in the LGD team voice chat.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, there are still two seconds left on the CD." Zhou Dian responded with a smile.

Two seconds later, Karma's E skill shield was applied to Lucian.

The frequency of bullets shooting from Lucian's gun immediately increased significantly.

"Holy crap, is this the Incense Burner Monster? This attack speed is so awesome, I love it!"

“I should be able to make an incense burner by the time I get back to town,” PYL interjected.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian switched screens to observe the bottom lane.

Samsung's bottom lane tower has already lost most of its health to LGD's two bottom laners.

If we maintain this pace, in another two minutes, the bottom lane will be able to take down the first tower through pure laning.

However, at this moment, the first tower of the Samsung team was undefended. With the combined effects of Lucian, Karma, and the Ardent Censer on Karma, the tower's health was also dropping rapidly.

LGD accurately predicted Ambition's Lee Sin's movements.

In Samsung's system, the mid-lane tower is extremely important.

At this point, Samsung's mid lane was undefended, and Lucian and Karma were able to take down the tower at lightning speed.

No matter where Master An's Blind Monk is, he is the person closest to his own tower at this moment.

Therefore, Lee Sin will inevitably come to defend this turret, preventing LGD's top and mid laners from recklessly chipping away at the health of Samsung's mid turret.

So imp and PYL's Caitlyn and Lulu, as always, relentlessly pressured the three-star bot lane!
A few seconds later, the Blind Monk appeared under his own tower.

This confirms that Zhou Dian's guess was correct and very accurate.

As a result, LGD's bot lane duo pressed even harder.

It's ridiculous, but imp picked Caitlyn this game, and the game has been going on for over ten minutes. During those ten minutes, Caitlyn was mostly pushing the lane in the bottom lane and she hasn't been caught even once.

Unfortunately, Master An had not yet fully realized that there was a problem with his thinking.

After all, he had genuinely killed Zhou Dian's Karma three times.

If you randomly pick a viewer who usually watches LPL matches, and don't tell them the team compositions, but only tell them that LGD's top laner Zhou Dian was ganked and killed three times in ten minutes, you could easily find them.

That viewer would definitely think that LGD is now at a disadvantage, and a huge disadvantage at that.

After four consecutive high-intensity matches, the veteran Ambition, due to the continuous decline in his physical strength and energy, unknowingly fell into the trap of being blinded by his own involvement.

He felt he understood Zhou Dian very well, but Zhou Dian understood him just as well!

Especially after the Fiora in the fourth game, Ambition seemed to have become somewhat obsessed with ganking LGD's top laner.

And it wasn't just Ambition who was "obsessed" with the team; the Samsung coaching staff was too.

They also believed that their own team and players could overcome the formidable obstacle of LGD's top laner.

Who says only LPL teams are stubborn? Actually, when Korean teams get stubborn, they can be just as incredibly stubborn.

Ambition's Lee Sin appeared under his own tier 1 tower, hit a red team ranged minion under the tower with a Sonic Wave (Q), and then flew up with the second Q.

At this point, only three LGD ranged minions remained in Samsung's mid-lane tower; the melee minions had all died.

But if these three ranged units are left alone, they can withstand six attacks from the turret.

In those six seconds, Lucian would have taken away a lot of health from the three-star mid tower.

Why only mention Lucian?
Because when Blind Monk's Sonic Wave (Q) hit LGD's minions, Zhou Dian immediately controlled Karma to retreat a large distance.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Master An's target is these ranged minions; if there's even the slightest chance, he wouldn't mind taking the head of this low-health Karma.

Even if this Karma is no longer worth much.

Although Zhou Dian has already died three times in this game, each death was valuable.

If you get taken down by the blind man at this point, it's a pointless death, utterly meaningless.

Zhou Dian's mental state in this game was far clearer than Master An had imagined.

Seeing Karma retreat so quickly, Master An couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

His hands never stopped moving; the Blind Man used his second Q to kill a minion, instantly eliminating the ranged minion.

Then, ignoring the full-health Lucian, the blind man began clearing the red team's ranged creeps under the other two towers.

However, while the blind man ignores Lucian, Lucian will not ignore the blind man.

Wei Shen decisively attacked Sect Leader An!

Lucian first used a slide (E) to slide to the outside of the three-star mid tower.

Meanwhile, Karma, who was some distance away from Lucian, applied the shield from her E skill to Lucian at the maximum range, giving him the effect of Ardent Censer.

Then Lucian passively fired two shots at Lee Sin.

Master An didn't care at all, because he could clearly see on his way to the mid lane that Lucian had used his Q and W skills to refresh his passive in order to attack the tower, and they were still on cooldown.

The Ardent Censer is a really powerful item; Lucian's attack speed is so fast it's like he's already built two attack speed items.

But in reality, Lucian at this time hadn't even finished building Ruined King's Blade yet; he was wearing two small pieces of Ruined King's Blade and a pair of sandals.

After using the slide (E), Lucian can just stand there and use basic attacks to tank.

By the time Lee Sin cleared out the other two red team ranged minions, he had already lost more than half of his health to Lucian.

This damage, which far exceeded the timeline, truly startled Sect Leader An.

Master An vaguely understood why the usually cautious Crown had been killed by these two while tower diving.

After clearing the minions under the tower, Master An quickly controlled the Lee Sin to return to the depths of the turret.

However, Wei Shen pressed his advantage relentlessly, with Lucian relentlessly following behind Lee Sin, chasing him all the way to the tower. Only after taking a hit from the tower did he stop and turn back.

However, before turning around, Lucian's Q skill was already ready, and Wei Shen even used Piercing Light (Q) to pierce Lee Sin.

The Lee Sin now only has one-third of his health left.

As the next wave of minions from both sides approached their respective mid-lane towers, the next wave of minions was already visible.

Meanwhile, LGD's top and mid laners, especially Lucian, were blocking Samsung's mid-lane tower, standing right at the edge of the tower's damage range.

In this way, the wave of minions that Samsung just sent to the mid lane will definitely not be able to leave the tower.

Then, a few seconds later, LGD's minion wave will enter Samsung's mid-lane tower again, and Samsung's mid-lane tower will be whittled down.

Glancing at the minimap in the bottom right corner, Malzahar still had two seconds before respawning, so he was definitely out of luck. Lee Sin could only kick Lucian away and let his own minion wave go.

With Lee Sin's health not at its best, simply walking up and using his ultimate to kick him is definitely not a good idea.

He got Q and kicked him in the face, then touched his eye and came back.

After waiting for two seconds, the three-star minion wave reached Lucian's front and was blocked by Lucian. At the same time, Lee Sin's Q skill was ready again.

Master An decisively used the Heavenly Sound Wave (Q) to attack.

Lee Sin's Q had a slight rightward prediction.

After playing the first four games, Master An has gained a good understanding of Wei Shen's movement habits.

In addition, there was the pre-match research conducted by the Samsung coaching staff.

Master An was very confident that Wei Shen's Lucian would move to the right to dodge Lee Sin's Sonic Wave.

However, Lucian stood still and didn't move.

The sonic wave passed right next to Lucian and disappeared into the air of Summoner's Rift.

How dare you not move?
Of course, Master An didn't think this was a case of "idiots countering experts"—Lucian was too slow to react and didn't have time to reposition.

He immediately realized that Wei Shen had anticipated his prediction, which was why he didn't move from his spot.

"Why is this person so confident?" A bitter feeling welled up in Master An's heart.

LGD's top laner is just showing off all the time!
How come the mid-laner, who made frequent mistakes in the first few games, became so confident in the decisive game?

For a moment, Sect Leader An felt his thoughts were a bit confused and he felt a lack of energy.

With Lee Sin's Sonic Wave (Q) missing, he naturally couldn't fly up and kick Lucian away.

Just a few seconds later, Lucian, who had been blocking the tower, was about to push a wave of red minions into the three-star mid tower.

Anzhangmen glanced at the minimap and saw that Crown's Malzahar had just respawned and walked out of the fountain. He was still a long way from reaching the mid-lane tower!
Left with no other option, Master An still had to ask top laner CuVee to use his teleport.

When Shen teleported to Samsung's mid-lane turret, a wave of LGD minions also entered Samsung's mid-lane turret.

However, upon seeing Shen teleport down, Zhou Dian immediately called out to Wei Shen and then decisively controlled Karma to escape.

Wei Shen was not greedy at all; seeing Karma slip away, he also retreated.

Lucian returned to his base under the first tower, and Wei Shen pressed the B key to recall.

I have enough money, time to go home and sell my old clothes!

With Lucian's Blade of the Ruined King now available, he can go back to lane and bully Malzahar, who only has two random items.

Next, in a one-on-one situation in the mid lane, without teammates to help, Malzahar's mid tower will continue to be worn down by Lucian.

Most importantly, after Zhou Dian and Wei Shen's unreasonable and risky tower dive in the mid lane, Shen used up both his ultimate and teleport.

Shen's ultimate ability has a very long cooldown!

In the next two minutes or so, LGD's bot lane duo could exert even more pressure.

Before Shen's ultimate ability is ready again, Samsung's already crumbling bottom lane tower will definitely be taken down by Caitlyn.

Unbeknownst to many, LGD had already gained a considerable advantage in the mid and bottom lanes.

This advantage allows spectators and commentators watching the game from an "Apsara" perspective to see it clearly.

However, the Samsung members within the formation did not feel it so clearly.

LGD's gradual, insidious lead has indeed lulled them into a false sense of security.

However, LGD didn't have an overall advantage; at least their top laner "collapsed," didn't he?

The problem is that LGD's top laner Karma's collapse had a significant impact!

Among Samsung's top, mid, and bottom lanes, Shen is the only hero with an advantage. He has a very high floor but a low ceiling, so even with an advantage, he's not easy to carry.

"LGD, if you can maintain your current advantage and get the push rhythm of Caitlyn and Lucian as your dual marksmen going, you have a very good chance in this game!" Miller said with a slightly serious tone.

Even though LGD has the advantage now, he can't be optimistic.

They dared not praise LGD too much, for fear of ruining the team.

"We must stay calm!"

Wow, I'm feeling so nervous watching this!

The child chuckled, showing no sign of the nervousness he claimed to be.

Back to the game.

Nearly two minutes later, before Shen's ultimate ability could be ready again, imp's Caitlyn took down Samsung's bottom lane turret.

LGD took the first tower in this game.

Even though they were still behind in kills, LGD's economic lead had exceeded 1,000 after taking the first tower.

Of course, an economic advantage of a little over a thousand is nothing.

LGD's next task is to continue widening this economic gap of over a thousand.

Moreover, we must maintain the pace of widening economic disparities.

If the economic gap widens too slowly, it's useless; it's as if no gap has been widened at all.

The same economic difference of five or six thousand yuan is a huge advantage in twenty minutes, but it's negligible in forty minutes.

After destroying Samsung's bottom lane turret, imp's Caitlyn went back to base and bought her first major item.

PYL's Lulu also returned to the city and bought her own incense burner.

This bot lane duo already possesses considerable fighting power.

The Incense Burner item effectively shortens the awkward period when Caitlyn's damage output is insufficient in the mid-game.

After completing their equipment, LGD's bot lane duo headed straight for the mid lane.

On Samsung's side, Crown saw his bottom lane tower being pushed down by the enemy, and it was even the first tower, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

What do you regret?

I regretted choosing the wrong Summoner Spell in this game.

They should bring teleportation, not this healing.

If Malzahar had a teleport right now, he could at least help the bottom lane protect the first tower a little longer.

Even if we don't say we can stall until Shen's teleport is ready, we can at least stall until Shen's ultimate is ready.

At that time, Samsung could easily gather all five players and launch a powerful attack on LGD's bottom lane.

One wave can make up for all the "grievances" suffered by their own bottom lane in the first ten minutes.

In fact, Master An had already realized what was going on by this time!
He realized he couldn't mess with Karma who was "playing it cool," and that he should focus on LGD's bot lane.

Whether it succeeds or not, at least put a lot of pressure on LGD in the lane.

But it was too late; Samsung's bottom lane turret had already been destroyed by Caitlyn.
