Chapter 168: The Sea Sect Leader

at the same time.

At the moment Quinn was killed again, the factory manager finally understood!

"Wait? This Kindred across from us actually plays the game like this?"

"He knew very well that we would not let him get the mark smoothly, so he simply did the opposite and did not take the mark actively."

"Instead, use the mark to delay our time!"

"By the way, make a feint to the east and attack in the west, lead us to the location where Kindred's Mark spawns, and then gank in another direction!"

"The jungler on the opposite side is truly a genius!"

"His playing style is similar to the one in the first game where he didn't brush the buff!"

"It's really hard to deal with Kindred when the game starts with three kills. The only good news now is... Kindred is a hero that's not easy to snowball!"

"We just need to interrupt his rhythm forcibly!"

"It just so happens that we have a solution for this round!"

After figuring out Lin Dong's way of playing, the factory manager immediately changed his mind. He didn't even have the heart to blame Braised Pork at all, but immediately started giving orders through the voice.

"Don't rush to use Frost's E skill. I'll give you a signal!"

"Use your E skill, throw it directly into the opponent's jungle and find Kindred's position!"

"Quinn's W skill too!"

"In the next wave of marks, if the opponent is still planning to play like this, Ice Girl will directly attack the opponent!"

"Don't be afraid of losing. After we reach level 6, we are very good at finding opportunities! We can definitely fight back!"

"Just think of a way to prevent the opponent's Leblanc from getting too many kills! The support can help keep an eye on Leblanc!"

It was obvious that after the torture in the first two rounds, the factory manager was finally able to show some courage in this round.

And it turned out that his method was indeed effective.

The start of three kills was enough to allow Lin Dong's Kindred to take the lead by a pair of attack speed boots, greatly improving his pursuit ability and jungle clearing speed.

But the problem is that in the next rhythm, Lin Dong found that his previous rhythm was no longer effective.

Especially when the next mark was refreshed, when Lin Dong was about to use the same trick again, he found that EDG had learned from the previous lesson and cooperated with the Ice Girl to directly start a team fight. Not only did they successfully control the mark, but they also killed Braum who was responsible for the rear guard.

With the death of Braum, the first little dragon was also taken by EDG.

Looking at what was happening in the bottom lane, Lin Dong immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Has it been discovered?"

"But now I have the advantage, and Ekko's teleport will be refreshed soon, so I can make a feint to the east and attack in the west."

"This time I pretended to gank the top lane and tricked Zz1tai's men into going to the top lane to counter-camp. Then I went to the bottom lane river to fight at the crab mark."

However, this time, Lin Dong's plan failed again.

He did calculate that Zz1tai would go to the top lane to counter-camp, but he didn't calculate the two key points of Ashe and Quinn.

Ashe's E skill and Quinn's W skill can both explore vision.

Whenever Lin Dong tried to bring EDG in by changing lanes, the two of them would use their skills like a shadow and quickly catch him.

Especially the one in the top lane, the factory manager handled it even more calmly.

After seeing Kindred in the bottom lane, he actually chose to let everyone give the mark of the river crab to Kindred, and then gank Ekko.

Originally, Holy Spear was just doing this for show, so he pretended that Kindred was nearby and deliberately moved forward to suppress Quinn, trying to trick him away. But when Ashe's E skill found Kindred's position, not only was his intention exposed, he was even in danger. Fortunately, he used his ultimate at the critical moment and successfully escaped. But seeing that EDG's top and jungle looked like they were going to cross the tower, Holy Spear could only hurried back to the city and then teleported back to the line.

In this way, there is a time difference in transmission.

Although the Centaur is in the top lane and cannot reach the bottom lane, Quinn can definitely get there first.

At the bottom river, Lin Dong had just punished and taken his second mark when he was immobilized by the Ice Girl's E. Then Quinn teleported to the ground and used a set of skills directly. If Xiaoduan hadn't rushed over with his shield in the first place, not only blocking the damage but also blocking Thresh's control skills, otherwise Lin Dong might not even be able to use his ultimate and would be killed instantly.

Seeing EDG's sudden change in rhythm, Lin Dong's face instantly turned ugly.

Because the thing he least wanted to see finally happened.

"It's broken. It's been studied and figured out."

"EDG didn't even choose to pull the fight back, and directly took the initiative to fight."

"This is trouble."

"In fact, if EDG forces the fight, we still have a chance. In terms of skills, we are definitely not afraid of the opponent, and now we already have a little economic advantage."

"But the problem is... EDG's lineup in this game is better than expected!"

"Zizi.com's troops are easy to deal with. The key is Ashe's E skill and Quinn's W skill. The fact that they can detect vision is disgusting."

"This means that in this round, we will be at a complete disadvantage in terms of vision. No matter how we gain vision, we will never be able to beat the opponent."

"If you want to win, you can only rely on brute force teamfighting!"

"But the problem is that I have too few marks now!"

At this time, Xiao Duan finally understood why Lin Dong asked him to choose Braum before. After choosing Braum, even though he could obviously invade the jungle area, he did not choose a strong jungler, but chose Kindred!
He re-examined EDG's lineup, his scalp suddenly tingled, and said.

"The jungler can only be good, not bad!"

"But the Ice Girl is such a disgusting hero. If the damage is not enough, whoever goes in will be killed!"

"If the final kill is given away, it will be easy to be overturned."

"The key is that you may not be able to get in even if you enter."

"Thresh's E skill can be interrupted..."

"No wonder Kindred was chosen. If you choose Lee Sin or something, there's no way you can snowball. In a teamfight, if you use Q in mid-air and don't even use R, you'll be controlled to death."

And Saint Spear brother on the side also smiled bitterly.

"If you can't get in from the front, you can actually go in from the side, just like when we played against RNG before."

"But the two heroes, Ashe and Quinn, have their vision fully illuminated, so it's impossible to ambush the opponent."

"No wonder EDG likes to play Cards the most...it turns out it's for this!"

"So what should we do now, Lin Dong? Should we continue to take the mark, or fight?"

After listening to everyone's words, Lin Dong could only take a deep breath and said.

"Forget it, let's grow first."

To be honest, this time, Lin Dong really had no way to deal with EDG's tactics.

From the moment EDG selected the Ice Girl, it was destined to be a very difficult game.

Since the mid laner can bring purification, can the jungler do it?
Once Tam and Morgana are banned, when fighting in a team, the Ice Girl only needs to focus on her own jungle position and can play freely.

Especially after the Ice Girl created her golden body.

When Lin Dong couldn't get any advantage in the rhythm, he could only follow EDG. Because he had been targeted by Quinn and Ashe, if he tried to force some tactics at this time, he would probably give up all the advantages he had built up in the early stage.

However, for VG in this game, it is not an easy task to develop.

Because Kindred has a natural disadvantage compared to Centaur.

That means the rhythm can't keep up.

Centaur has the E skill, which can be used to clear the jungle while traveling. Don't underestimate this E skill. It can save about ten seconds in the lower lane of a jungle area, and ten seconds is enough for a proactive gank.

This is also one of the reasons why Taliyah jungle suddenly became popular after the version changes.

The faster the jungle is cleared and the faster the movement speed, the faster the pace will naturally be!
This time, the first person that the factory manager targeted was the enchantress in the middle lane.

In this game, Leng Shao has actually gained an advantage in the laning phase.

That is, General Pawn had suffered at his hands and been pinned to the ground, and then he saw how Marquis played the Ice Girl, so this time he followed suit and built magic resistance first.

This also made Leng Shao feel very uncomfortable.

Can suppress, but cannot kill.

If the opponent's mid laner is determined to get by, he actually doesn't care.

But if the opponent's mid laner has stable control and is determined to get by, and there is also a jungler who keeps staring at the middle lane, then it will be really difficult to play.

So it was very rare that in this round, even Leng Shao could not find any chance to kill alone. He could only watch as the factory manager came over and kicked him after a while, and then cooperated with the Ice Girl to purify himself.

If it were just these two people, it might be easier to handle.

Because he realized that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, Lin Dong also tried to counter-camp in the middle lane early.

However, just as they reached the middle lane, Quinn, who had reached level 6 in the top lane, had disappeared, and the middle lane almost became a two-on-three situation.

Seeing such a huge advantage in the jungle, EDG's bottom lane duo finally dared to press forward.

Soon, VG was at a disadvantage on all three fronts.

Looking at this scene, the colonel in the commentary booth also sighed.

"The factory manager is really experienced. Even though the game started off badly, he was able to turn the tables by relying on the advantages of his lineup."

"For EDG now, they have completely taken the initiative in the laning phase."

"And it seems that all VG can do is passively defend."

"But everyone knows that passive defense is not a good option because the opponent will always find opportunities."

"For example, in this wave, EDG took advantage of the time difference of Ekko's teleport and let Quinn use his ultimate to double-team VG's bottom lane."

"Although Kindred and Leblanc arrived quickly, it was still useless. EDG's support speed was much faster than theirs."

"Jhin died first. Although Kindred, who came over, successfully activated his ultimate and saved Braum, it was of no avail. Centaur used an ultimate to frighten Braum out of the range of Kindred's ultimate. Although Zweiland also died, he successfully helped his teammates get Kindred's final kill. Leblanc, who came over, only had time to take Thresh's head, but couldn't do anything to the other EDG members."

"In this teamfight, EDG relied on their excellent management ability to successfully fight a 2-for-3 exchange! Among them, Kindred was killed!"

"As a result, VG's previous economic advantage has been wiped out. Although Dong's Kindred still has the highest economic position in the game, EDG's overall economy has surpassed VG!"

"If this continues, VG's situation will not be optimistic!"

At the same time, seeing VG's current situation, many VG fans in the audience also became anxious.

"It's bad. Is this really going to be overturned?"

"It doesn't really matter if we make a comeback, I just worry about my mentality being affected and finally being beaten 3-2 down!"

"Winter God! Come on, Winter God! You started with three kills!"

"To be honest, the Kindred pick in this game was indeed a bit bad, but it seems that there is nothing we can do about it. It would not be easy to win if we picked other heroes."

"The factory was really powerful this time. They made up for the disadvantage in the early stage."

"The key is that not only is the rhythm suppressed, but Winter God's Kindred's mark cannot be obtained! It has been such a long time. From the beginning to now, we have only obtained two wild monster marks. The remaining two were all obtained by marking."

"There's nothing we can do. With Factory Manager's ability to control the map, he was able to get two marks even when he was at a disadvantage. Winter God is already very powerful, but the problem is that it's useless. If we want to win this game, this is not enough."

However, just as everyone was discussing, exclamations from Wawa and Miller were suddenly heard from the commentary booth.

"what?"

"Contestant Dong, what's up with his jungle route? It seems a bit weird!"

"Why did he go straight to the bottom lane after killing the red buff and the four birds?"

"Wait! How can he use his Q skill to go through the wall and then follow the lane... Oh! I get it!"

"On EDG's side, Ashe's E skill has been looking for his position in the jungle! So he simply stopped farming monsters! He just went straight to catching people! It just so happened that in this wave, Ekko had teleport and Braum had flash!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, Deft, in the bottom lane of EDG, used his E skill, aiming directly at VG's lower jungle area.

Looking at the disappearing red buff and four birds, Deft and Meiko subconsciously thought that Kindred had already gone to the top lane.

So the two of them immediately pushed forward.

Little did they know that not far away was Kindred, who had been suppressed for nearly five minutes and had not been able to take the initiative.

This time, Sima Laozei was also very smart. He made a mistake in his positioning on purpose and was hit by Thresh's Q skill.

As expected, when Meiko saw that he had hit the hook, his eyes immediately lit up!
"Hooked!"

"Can fight!"

After saying that, he immediately used the second Q skill to fly up.

As a result, as soon as he flew over, Braum immediately gave him a passive skill and then raised his shield to block Jhin.

In the blind spot behind him, Kindred, who was supposed to appear in the top lane, rushed out again.

Looking at Kindred who suddenly appeared in the bottom lane, Meiko was stunned at that moment.

"Wait? Didn't Kindred go up? Why is he in the bottom lane?"

"Frost's E skill just now was clearly...hiss!"

"My grass!"

"Master Hai, who is sleeping on straw and tasting gall? He didn't come from the wild monsters, he lurked in from the lane! I'm telling you why..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the special effect symbolizing that Kindred's mark took effect appeared above his head. With the cooperation of Jhin and Kindred, no one in the bottom lane duo was spared. Even Ashe, who retreated at the first moment, was killed by Jhin's last bullet.

Seeing that he had finally made a comeback, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled slightly.

"After all this time, it turns out that Master Hai's tactics are effective!"

"You like to look for me in the wild area, right?"

"I just won't leave the jungle! Can't I just come over from the lane to gank you?"

However, the smile on Lin Dong's face only lasted for a moment before he froze.

Because of the incident in the bottom lane, Zzitai also found an opportunity and cooperated with Quinn and Ice Girl to directly kill Leblanc.

Although exchanging two kills for one kill seems like a huge profit, the bottom lane is not the rhythm center, the middle lane is!
And in this round, after being targeted in various ways in the middle lane, Leng Shao finally... got angry!
