Chapter 118 Who will team up with you?
This time, the people in the audience actually guessed it right.

Lin Dong’s ultimate move is really just for blocking vision!
Just as the spider walked into the triangular grass, Lin Dong decisively chose to activate his ultimate move and entered stealth mode.

After Mantis's ultimate skill [Void Strike] is activated, it can make Mantis enter a stealth state for 2 seconds and gain a movement speed bonus.

2 seconds of invisibility is not long, but it is enough for him to survive the time when the spider hides in the grass!
In this game, in order to create rhythm, Mlxg's Spider also chose the same outfit as Lin Dong did last time.

Don’t upgrade the green jungle knife first, but make magic shoes first to increase movement speed!
But the disadvantage of this is that the field of vision is not enough!

Just at this moment, Lin Dong used his ultimate move, and directly showed his dark side!

As a result, a dramatic scene occurred in the bottom lane of both sides.

At this time, everyone in RNG thought that Mantis was in the bushes in the distance, waiting for Mantis to make the first move. As long as VG made a move, Mlxg would rush out immediately.

However, what they didn't know was that at this time, Mantis had already gone around to the rear of RNG!

Similarly, VG also waits for RNG to make the first move!
Watching this scene, the three people in the commentary booth finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait! If RNG doesn't know that Mantis is in this position, is RNG going to get into trouble?"

"This time, this time it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind it, but the mantis is even behind it!"

"Both junglers simultaneously counter-amped the other jungler... This is the first time I've seen a situation like this!"

"Now let's see which of the two junglers will lose patience and attack first!"

The answer to this question is obvious.

Of course, it was RNG that lost their patience first.

Spider is a rhythm hero. He also bought magic penetration shoes in the early stage. He definitely doesn’t want to waste time in the bottom lane all the time.

And it has been so long. What if Mantis has left or returned to the city, or like before, continues to counter-jungle in his own jungle?
So after waiting for a moment, Mlxg made a decision and said it directly in the voice.

"No! We can't delay it!"

"I always feel that... the mantis on the other side is no longer in this bush. It has been too long!"

"I'll just go around and outflank him!"

"Kill Tam first. If you attack others, they will be swallowed by Tam and you won't be able to kill them."

"Even if the opponent's Mantis is still there, we are not afraid. Jinx has two skills, and Mantis cannot be killed head-on."

This time, Mlxg guessed it right.

But they were only half right.

It is true that Mantis is not in the bush, and it is impossible to kill Jinx by approaching from the front.

But what if we cut in from the back?

The next second, a team fight in the bottom lane was about to break out.

Mata took the lead and flashed directly to put Tam back. At the same time, Jinx also threw out the E skill, and cooperated with Thresh's E skill to directly put Tam on the trap, locking Tam in place.

At the same time, Mata threw a lantern behind him and caught Mlxg's spider.

Then, the spider's cocoon also hit Tam.

Although focusing fire on a tank does sound a bit counterintuitive, it is the best choice against the bottom lane combination of Tam and a mixed AD!

Moreover, in the calculation of Mlxg.

Although it will be a little slower to deal with Tam, the opponent's Mantis and Annie will not be able to deal with any of them on their side!

Mantis cannot trigger Isolation and Helplessness, and Lulu herself is not a burst AD like Lucian, so the damage is simply not enough!
At that time, as long as you kill Tam first, Jinx will immediately trigger her passive after getting the assist, and the opponent will have no choice but to run away, right?
However, Mlxg had no idea at that moment.

At the moment they took action.

Behind him, in the triangular grass, Lin Dong also showed a smile.

"as expected……"

"The other side was fooled!"

After saying that, he walked out directly around!
At this moment, he has only one goal!
That’s Jinx standing at the back!

To attack AD head-on, you need to use the E skill to get close, which makes it naturally difficult to kill!

But attacking from behind means... even if Jinx has flash and healing, Lin Dong also has two displacement skills, E and flash, to chase!
at the same time.

Seeing his teammates focusing fire on the opposing Tam, Wuxin also walked up and started to add damage.

However, Wuxin was still careful at this time and did not get close to the bush where the mantis had flashed before. In order to keep distance, he even deliberately activated the Q skill and switched to cannon form to ensure that he could deal maximum damage within a safe distance.

And this time, he actually did it.

Apart from being scratched by Annie's Q skill, he didn't take any other damage.

Seeing Tam's health decreasing little by little, but the opponent's Mantis had not yet appeared, Wuxin was suddenly delighted.

"You still haven't come out yet? Xiang Guo guessed it right!"

"Sure enough, the opposing jungler has already left!"

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Just when Wu Xin was concentrating on his output, the figure of Mantis suddenly appeared behind him!
Wuxin was stunned when he saw the mantis suddenly rushing out from behind him.

"Wait? Why is this mantis here? Why is it behind me?"

"We were just hunting in the wild. Didn't we just come from the triangle grass? From this position... it's impossible not to see it!"

However, it was too late for him to leave now.

The moment the two met, Mantis' W skill had already flown out.

The evolved W skill [Void Spikes] has a longer range, a wider hit range, and a more obvious slowing effect.

This is the key to the cockroach flow mantis!
You can Poke the enemy from seven or eight hundred yards away and slow it down!
The moment he was hit by the W skill, Wuxin immediately felt his feet choke.

Slowed down!
At this time, he still wanted to ask for help from his teammates, but RNG's jungler and support were too late to turn back.

Helplessly, looking at the mantis that was getting closer and closer, Wuxin quickly used his healing spell and raised his hand, trying to use the acceleration effect to increase the distance between himself and the mantis.

However, the reason why Lin Dong went around was for this moment.

Seeing that the distance between them was widening, Lin Dong immediately followed with the E skill, got closer again, and stuck to him tightly.

Looking at the mantis in front of him like a leech, Wuxin suddenly felt a little desperate.

The only solution I can think of at this time is to give up Flash and retreat!
As long as I can get back to the defense tower, I still have a chance to survive this wave!

However, the moment he gave up the flash, he suddenly regretted it!
Because he realized later that he had just forgotten something very important.

Although his own jungler and support attacked first and Tam was hit in advance, he was unable to damage Tam because of the Mantis going around behind him. As long as the opponent's Tam was not dead, he could not participate in the kill and obtain the passive. Without the passive, he could not distance himself from the Mantis!

At the same time he flashed, the opponent's Mantis also flashed over and hit another AQ in return!

And this time, the damage of the Q skill is much higher than the previous Q skill!

the reason is simple!
Wuxin's flash not only failed to create distance, but instead made him separate from the soldiers.

And without the protection of the soldiers, there are no teammates around.

The mantis's isolated and helpless effect takes effect immediately!

And Mantis's Q skill will cause additional physical damage to isolated and helpless targets!
So at that moment, seeing his blood volume suddenly dropping, Wuxin already had a bad feeling.

"Fuck! It's over!"

"I shouldn't have used my flash to move back! I can't even close the distance! The mantis on the opposite side came prepared!"

"If I had known this, I should have flashed forward, cooperated with my teammates to kill Tam first, and then used the passive to make it possible."

"But now... I can't run away!"

His hunch was correct. Without the passive speed boost and being targeted by Mantis, his screen quickly went black as the feeling of being isolated and helpless was triggered!

"First Blood!"

The long-awaited first blood is finally born!

At this time, not far away.

Seeing the mantis suddenly rushing out from behind, Mata and Mlxg were also dumbfounded!

Especially Mlxg, he looked completely confused.

"Ah? Didn't I just come from over there?"

"How did this mantis get behind us right under my nose?"

"It's bad! Wuxin, don't run back... Damn! If you move forward, we might be able to find a new one, but if you run back, we'll all be dead, right?"

"The key is……"

"No wonder the opponent's Annie has been holding back her ultimate!"

“So that’s why!”

Mlxg's hunch was correct.

When Jinx died, VG's counterattack began. Without Jinx's key output, the damage of the two was not enough to kill Tam.

The opponent's Tam was also very smart. After taking a lot of skills and damage, he saw that the situation was not right and immediately flashed away.

At this time, Annie finally used her ultimate move.

For a moment, a 2v2 situation formed in the bottom lane.

In this case, the damage of the combination of Annie + Mantis is obviously higher than that of Elise + Thresh.

Looking at this scene, there are only two options before Mlxg.

First, when disaster strikes, everyone flees.

I have flash, so I can definitely get away.

But Thresh is definitely dead.

This wave is a two-for-zero exchange.

Second, turn the gun around and find a way to cooperate with Thresh to kill Mantis!

When Mantis was chasing Jinx, it consumed a certain amount of blood, and now it only has half blood left.

There's every chance of killing him!

If you kill the Mantis, then the opposing Annie will not dare to continue chasing alone!

At that time, the worst result would be that Thresh and Kha'Zix would be swapped, making this a two-for-one exchange!

If you're lucky, it might even be a one-for-one exchange!

So at that moment, Mlxg made a decision.

"Can you hold on until the next E skill is refreshed? If you can, ignore the opposite side's Annie and kill the Mantis first!"

This time, Mlxg's decision was correct.

Looking at the opposing jungler and support duo coming straight towards him, even Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh.

After all, the contrast is too stark.

In LPL, what is the gap between first-tier players and second-tier players?

Is it last-hitting? Is it teamfighting? Or is it awareness?
In fact, these are all important, but not the most important.

The most important thing is the decision-making at the critical moment!

For example, in this wave, if Wuxin could make the right decision, perhaps the two sides would end in a draw.

But at the critical moment, he backed down and retreated.

Then the bottom lane was blown up.

In comparison, the decisions made by Mlxg and Mata were much more correct.

Of course, the position of the AD player cannot be compared with that of the jungler or support.

But what if he is compared with other players in the AD position?

Later, Sima Laozei's Kog'Maw was at the Baron pit. After one of his teammates died first, he found the opportunity when all EDG members' skills were cooling down, flashed to avoid the big move, turned around and sprayed five people, melting all the EDG members.

Apart from Sima Laozei, who among Uzi, Imp, Deft and brother-in-law has not performed similar operations?
The ability to seize opportunities instantly is a compulsory course for every first-line AD.

But obviously, Wuxin is not among them.

His retreat made it impossible for Mlxg and Mata, the jungler and support, to remedy the situation.

because……

After Lin Dong reaches level 6, the first skill that evolves is the W skill!
Seeing Spider and Thresh coming straight towards him, he did not choose to confront them head-on.

Instead, he pulled it.

He used the W skill at the maximum distance and threw it at the RNG jungler and support. After throwing, he retreated and didn't give the opponent any chance to hit him!

Looking at the extremely thick and distant void spikes, Mlxg was stunned.

"My grass?"

"The first skill of this Mantis on the opposite side actually evolved into skill W? Why didn't it evolve into skill Q?"

"Wait! Their lineup... this Mantis is not played as an assassin, he is also played as a Poke!"

"It's broken. This thing has a 50% slowdown effect. We can't catch up with it, and we can't get away from it!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mlxg had no choice but to change his tactics again.

Respect by running first!

If we continue to fight in this position, we will definitely fail!

This Mantis had no intention of fighting them at all. It just stood there waiting for its W skill to refresh, and then used skills to deal damage and slow down the opponent.

How is this played?
As a result, RNG paid the price of two kills in this wave of rhythm.

And at this time in the commentary booth.

Seeing the action of directly evolving W at level 6, Wawa Miller, Colonel and the other two finally realized that something was wrong.

"Huh? Dong's first evolved skill is actually skill W?"

"To be honest, the first big move evolving into W is indeed a good idea! By evolving W, the hero's pulling and poking abilities have been significantly improved."

"There's nothing we can do. RNG's lineup in this game includes Poppy on top, Thresh as support, Tsar in the middle, Elise as jungler, Jinx and a trap. Everyone has a control skill, so it's impossible for Mantis to enter the field! So there's no point in being isolated and helpless!"

At this moment, looking at the lineups of both sides, the colonel suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed.

"Hey, I suddenly thought of something."

"RNG's lineup in this game is to keep the rhythm with the jungler and support as the core in the early stage, give Tsar time to develop, and wait until the mid-to-late stage for Tsar to develop, and then fight in a team, right?"

"Just in time for Jinx to harvest."

"But the problem is... no matter how well the Tsar develops, if he wants to win, he still has to fight in a team!"

"But VG's lineup..."

"Karma, Varus, Kha'Zix, and Annie, all Poke lineups."

"With VG's lineup, who would want to play against RNG?"

"In this case, no matter how well Tsar develops or how strong Jinx's harvesting ability is, if a team fight cannot be started, what's the use?"

After hearing what the colonel said, Wawa and Miller immediately fell silent.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the director was very considerate and cut to the perspective of the middle lane.

At this moment in the middle lane, the situation of the mid laners of both teams was very awkward.

One without blood.

One without blue.

And they don’t even dare to push the line forward!
Of course the one without blood is Xiaohu.

Although he was facing Hou Ye in the middle lane in this round, he didn't have to worry about being killed by a single person.

But the opponent is too stable!

Just be stable.

TM's Q skill has an incredibly high hit rate!
So he could only watch the soldiers move forward, until their health was low, and then he would use the sand soldiers to finish them off from a distance.

He was afraid that if he took a step forward, the opposing jungler Mantis would fly out and take him away.

And the other side.

The Marquis didn't dare to push the line.

He is almost at full health now, but has no mana!

If you walk out, the opponent's jungle spider is right next to you and can stun you directly, and the Tsar will use his ultimate to push you back.

He had no mana, so he had no way to replace the low-health Tsar, nor could he use his ultimate to control the opponent and escape successfully.

So... the Marquis's choice is exactly the same as Xiaohu's.

That is to hide behind, from a distance, and use the Q skill to finish off the enemy!

He was even about to confront Xiaohu outside the screen!

If you can avoid going up, then definitely don’t go up!
Never give any chance!

And looking at this outrageous laning in the middle lane, that moment.

Both the three people in the commentary booth and the audience in the audience were in a mess.

Looking at this scene, many people have even anticipated the subsequent team battle between the two sides.

VG used skills from a distance of one thousand yards.

At this distance, we still want to fight in a team?
Who will start the group?
You asked the Tsar to reverse into the parking space and use the flash and ultimate skills, but he couldn't get in!
