You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 506 Turning the tide, thank you Bang for sparing my life!

Just as Tristana's ultimate was about to land on Varus, two shields appeared on Varus at the same time.

A cyan shield is Lulu's E skill.

The yellow one is the Barrier spell from Varus' Summoner Spell.

Although Lulu and Varus are not at high level yet.

However, the shield value provided by these two shields is more than enough to withstand Tristana's level 1 ultimate.

So Varus not only didn't die, but was also given a boost by Tristana's ultimate, ending up right next to Lulu.

Karma, who had just teleported down, had already arrived next to her bot lane duo.

However, LGD's bot lane duo is already quite a distance behind SKT's mid, bot, and support trio.

Even if Tristana and Karma still have Flash available, and Karma has her RE for a group speed boost, it's impossible for them to catch up with Varus and Lulu.

Because LGD's bot lane duo will be able to escape back to their own turret very quickly.

In the live feed of the SKT players in the lower right corner of the big screen, Faker's lips twitched, and he was muttering something to himself.

Faker was clearly frustrated because he used his ultimate on Bang to send Varus away, causing him to waste his teleport and make a wasted trip.

But what can we do?

Bang's Tristana had already used her ultimate to send Varus away, and Faker could only silently control Karma to rush back to the mid lane to defend.

Faker really couldn't understand what Bang was thinking.

With none of Leona's three crowd control abilities hitting their mark, Bang still made that kind of basic mistake.

They actually managed to let Varus, who had no ultimate and no Flash, escape.

If Tristana had used her ultimate ability right away, she would have instantly killed Varus.

Even if you want to save your ultimate skill and don't use it at the beginning, you can still kill Varus with basic attacks.

After Varus receives the healing and speed boost to create distance, Tristana can Flash close the gap to continue dealing damage, and then finish him off with her ultimate.

Even with shields and Lulu's shield, Varus is still doomed.

But Bang completely fails to use his ultimate skill when he should, and uses it recklessly when he shouldn't.

Even if Bang does nothing in this situation, once Karma teleports down, with Karma's RE speed boost, he will definitely be able to chase down Varus and kill him.

However, Bang precisely chose the only wrong answer among many correct answers.

The little cannon used its ultimate ability to send Varus to safety!

At this moment, the LGD team's voice chat was filled with PYL and imp's infectious laughter.

"I thought Imp was doomed, but I didn't expect Bang to send Imp back with a big move. Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, haha," PYL said haltingly.

Zhou Dian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The push-up bang has kicked in, brothers, looks like our luck has turned!"

"Imp, don't B yet, don't B yet. This is a wave of cannon minions. We don't even know if Karma has gone back yet. The cannons are pushing towers too fast. If we leave, this tower might be pushed down in one wave," PYL said again.

Upon hearing this, imp canceled Varus's teleport and retreated with Lulu to the back of the turret, waiting for the SKT bot lane duo to push the minion wave over.

"Wei Shen, stop farming the lane and hurry down to defend the tower with Sejuani," Zhou Dian called out to Wei Shen.

"This tower is easy to defend. My TP is ready, but the Troll's TP isn't."

At this moment, Eimy's Sejuani had already reached her own red buff.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shen quickly abandoned the SKT mid-lane tower, which was only half-health, and controlled Malzahar to leave the mid-lane and head towards the bottom lane.

"OK, OK, no problem!" Wei Shen said repeatedly.

His tone was sincere, indicating that he realized his mistake of rashly sending the teleport back to the mid lane.

If Bang hadn't made that huge mistake, Wei Shen would have essentially teleported back to lane blindly, indirectly causing the death of his own AD carry.

Wei Shen almost took the blame.

But now, Bang is definitely taking the blame!

On the other side, Karma, walking back to the mid lane, saw Malzahar had already left the mid lane when she passed in front of the dragon pit.

Meanwhile, the newly resurrected Gragas is heading towards SKT's mid-lane tower to defend it.

Although SKT's mid tower has very little health left, it is safe for the time being.

With no need to rush back to the mid lane to defend the tower, Faker's mind started to wander again.

The more he thought about how Bang had inexplicably let Varus go, the angrier he became.

The angrier he got, the more Faker wanted to get revenge.

We can't just let LGD's bot lane duo slip away for nothing; we have to get something out of them.

So Faker controlled Karma and turned back, walking along the river into the blue side's bottom lane tri-bush, and then headed straight for LGD's bottom tower.

At this moment, the Tristana and Leona are about to push a wave of cannon minions to LGD's next tower.

Faker has made his decision!

If Lulu and Varus, who were low on health, hadn't left and wanted to defend the tower, they could have dove the tower and taken down LGD's bot lane duo.

Because neither Varus nor Lulu had their ultimate abilities available at the moment, and all four of their summoner spells were on cooldown.

If they dare to stay under the tower, Faker will definitely make a move.

If they weren't under the tower, Faker planned to team up with Tristana and Leona to quickly take down LGD's bottom lane tower.

Karma teleported down, and her mid-lane turret lost half its health. She couldn't have come all this way for nothing!

This is Faker's simple yet persistent thought.

And then, Faker got really into trouble!

Karma walked through the blue side's bottom lane tri-bush and reached the side of LGD's bottom lane tier 1 tower. At that moment, Eimy's Sejuani had already reached behind the dragon pit.

Faker used Karma's blue trinket on the blue team's bottom lane bush, which is the small bush in front of LGD's second bottom tower.

The blue decorations revealed that the bushes were empty; LGD's bot lane duo was not there.

"It seems Varus and Lulu have already retreated; they're not planning to risk defending this first tower," Faker thought to himself.

So Faker decided to walk directly to LGD's bottom tower and wait for his teammates in the bottom lane to push the minion wave to LGD's bottom tower.

When Karma walked into the bushes in front of the blue stone beetle, she discovered a true eye in the grass.

Lulu placed this ward a few seconds ago.

At this moment, Lulu and Varus were at the corner of the wall below the bushes.

PYL and imp were neither under the first tower nor under the second tower.

Instead of staying in the secluded grass to observe, it stood on the road between the first and second towers.

Faker walked into the bush and immediately started attacking the control ward with Karma.

At this moment, Eimy's Sejuani was almost at the blue side's bottom lane tri-bush, facing Karma across the wall, the two were very close.

Sejuani used her Ice Blast (Q) to leap over the wall and arrive next to Karma.

At the same time, PYL's Lulu stepped forward and turned Karma into a sheep.

Sejuani swung her whip, striking Karma and quickly triggering four stacks of the Permafrost (E) passive.

Then, use the active effect of the E skill to stun Karma in place.

Faker wasn't panicked; he knew Sejuani's ultimate was still available.

Before Karma could trigger Sejuani's E skill to stack four passive stacks, she first used a buffed Spirit Link on Sejuani.

Then, he hit Lulu with a Q skill, slowing her down. Imp's Varus had too little health to come close, so he could only throw out an E skill from a distance, the damage of which was negligible.

Karma was then stunned by Sejuani's E skill and took a beating from Sejuani and Lulu.

But then Karma's RW was triggered, and Sejuani was immobilized in place.

Karma also recovered a large amount of health, keeping her health at half.

"Hey, if Faker dies this wave, it'll be a major disaster!" Miller shouted excitedly.

"Flash over, there's another Wei Shen over the wall!"

After Karma RW immobilized Sejuani, she took a step up to the wall, flashed over the wall, and arrived at the Dragon Pit.

However, as soon as Faker's Karma flashed past, she ran into Wei Shen's Malzahar, who arrived late.

Wei Shen's support came a step slower than his teammate Eimy, but unexpectedly, he caught Faker red-handed.

In this situation, Wei Shen almost wanted to laugh out loud!
"Faker flashed over, and there's a Malzahar right next to the wall!" Miller's voice became noticeably excited.

"Kalma can't escape!"

At this moment, in the live feed of the SKT players in the bottom right corner, when Karma flashed over the wall and crashed head-on into Malzahar's face, Faker was clearly startled.

It's clear that even the usually composed Faker is starting to panic.

He knew that if he were to be killed in this wave, it would be a much bigger disaster than Blank's Gragas dying earlier.

It is very possible that the advantage he painstakingly built up through his travels will be given back.

Faker knew Malzahar's ultimate wasn't ready yet, so he desperately ran upwards.

Karma has Mercury's Treads at half health. If she can hold out for two seconds until her E skill is ready again, she might actually have a chance to escape.

Malzahar unleashed a combo on Karma, causing her health to plummet.

But Faker ignored it and didn't dodge the skills; he just kept running up the wall behind the dragon pit.

When Karma had about 100 HP left, her E skill finally came back to life.

Faker was overjoyed; it seemed like he could escape this wave!
Karma quickly used her E skill on herself.

A green shield appeared on Karma, and her movement speed increased sharply, seemingly about to widen the distance between her and Malzahar.

But just after Karma's E skill shield appeared, a red arrow suddenly flew from afar.

Karma was hit squarely in one shot.

It was Varus's piercing arrow (Q).

Two seconds earlier, after Karma flashed over the wall, imp also controlled Varus to arrive at the wall.

Varus's Flash wasn't ready yet, so he couldn't possibly Flash after Karma.

However, Varus immediately charged up his Q skill by the wall.

Varus drew his purple longbow to its full draw, charging it to its maximum, and then fired a red piercing arrow (Q) with a vengeance.

The arrow traversed most of the screen and struck Karma precisely at the extreme point.

Its damage directly destroyed Karma's shield.

Meanwhile, Malzahar's Visions of Doom (E) continues to damage Karma.

After Karma's shield disappeared, her health dropped even further, leaving her with only a sliver of health, thanks to the final continuous damage from the Shadow Visions (E).

Then, just as Karma accelerated out of Malzahar's attack range, Malzahar unleashed his final basic attack.

This basic attack took away Karma's last bit of health.

At 13 minutes and 46 seconds into the game, Faker's Karma died outside the bushes behind the wall of LGD's red buff camp, and the kill was taken by Malzahar.

Karma had a 2-0-2 score before she died, and this was a big kill for her.

Wei Shen made a huge boost to the economy this time.

Most importantly, Karma's death directly disrupted SKT's momentum.

"Nice, brothers!" Zhou Dian shouted.

He was observing the whole thing and could only cheer on his teammates.

"Nice!"

"Nice!"

"Damn, we finally killed Faker."

His teammates shouted in unison.

Of course, Zhou Dian wasn't just observing; he immediately controlled Cho'Gath to rush to the mid lane.

When Wei Shen's Malzahar left the mid lane to support the bottom lane, Cho'Gath helped defend a wave of minions in the mid lane.

However, as soon as he left the top lane, Huni's Troll Warlord immediately pushed down the second top tower.

The Troll hero is incredibly fast at pushing towers.

With just one wave of minions pushing into the tower, the Troll Warlord pushed down LGD's second top lane tower in one go.

SKT's Troll Warlord, with a 2-0-2 score, remains a huge threat to LGD.

After all, Zhou Dian was playing a big Cho'Gath in this game, and he couldn't do anything about Troll Warlord in the split push.

Overall, the series of firefights in the last minute or so has been a bit of a loss for Zhou Dian, since the second tower was lost just like that.

However, for the LGD team as a whole, killing Gragas and Karma in succession was undoubtedly a very good outcome.

If LGD's previous situation was one of severe disadvantage, a slow death waiting to be extinguished.

Now he has recovered a great deal of energy.

Whether it can be fully "recovered" depends on its subsequent performance.

LGD earned more than just the two kills from SKT's mid and jungle players in these two waves.

With Faker's Karma dead, LGD's main force that had been flanking Karma immediately split into two groups.

Malzahar and Sejuani went mid, while Varus and Lulu went bot. Both sides pushed down SKT's low-health mid and bot lane turrets almost simultaneously.

Aside from the top lane, LGD has basically recovered from their disadvantages in all other positions after this wave.

Of course, at this point in the week, the big bug is far behind the troll, and there's not much that can be done.

Even when the whole team was making a profit, Zhou Dian lost his second top lane tower while defending the mid lane.

After all, the central tower is more important.

In this game, Zhou Dian was completely devoted to his teammates, doing the bare minimum of blue-collar work.

In the commentary box.

"Faker teleported down, not only did he not get the kill, but he also died!" Miller's voice sounded like he was about to burst out laughing.

"The difference between this return trip and the previous one is too great!"

"If we take down SKT's mid and bottom lane turrets, it feels like we've basically made up for our early game disadvantage!"

PDD chuckled and continued, "Of course, it all started with Bang's ultimate move on Tristana just now. Thank you, Bang, for sparing my life!"

"Yes, thank you, Bang!" Miller nodded, feigning seriousness.

"Right now, SKT only has an advantage in the top lane," Remember added.

"Huni's Troll Warlord has already pushed down LGD's two top lane turrets!"
