Chapter 182: Besiege the enemy and attack the reinforcements, catch the turtle in the jar!
With the last lock of the Dragon Turtle, the lineups of both sides were finally determined.

SKT, blue side.

Top laner Maou, jungler Kindred, mid laner Azar, bottom laner Lucian + Braum.

VG, red side.

Top lane: Dragon Turtle, jungle: Digger, mid lane: LeBron James, bottom lane: Skateboard Shoes + Minotaur.

Looking at the lineup in front of him, Blank, the jungler, was overwhelmed.

As a jungler, what I hate most is a clear start.

Just like this game.

From the moment the opponent picked the top laner Dragon Turtle, it meant that SKT had no chance of catching the top lane in this game.

Because the damage of Kindred and Maokai together is not enough.

Only in the middle stage, when the Tsar's equipment is ready, can you deal with this dragon turtle.

But this also means that in this game, Blank couldn't do the same as he did in the previous game against G2, where he pretended to gank the top lane, forced the Dragon Turtle to teleport, and then found a way to use the time difference in the top laner's teleport to train the bottom lane.

Therefore, in this game, from the moment the lineup was determined, SKT had only one way to go in the early ganking rhythm.

That is to play around the lower jungle area.

Because in this game, the two sides were in a complete confrontation in the bottom lane, and both chose heroes with strong early laning and snowballing abilities, and they fought in the early laning phase.

Fortunately, Blank also has a good advantage in this game.

That's Bron.

With Braum's passive, he is almost invincible when invading the jungle in the early stage.

So as soon as he entered the game, Blank made a decision immediately and shouted it out in the voice chat.

"Let's just invade the opponent's bottom jungle area. I'm going to focus on the bottom lane in this round and suppress their bottom lane."

"We're switching to the jungle this time. It's not easy for me to catch in the upper half."

"But in this case, the mid laner has to be careful at level 3. If the opponent's jungler is switched to the upper half, it should be unlikely to catch him. Their mid and jungle duo has higher burst, so it is very likely that they will catch him at level 3."

Hearing Blank's words, Faker nodded.

Soon, the movements of the SKT team were captured by Xiaoduan who had positioned himself in advance.

Looking at Braum and other SKT players walking into the lower jungle area with their teammates, Xiao Duan immediately spoke in the voice chat.

"Sure enough, the opponent wants to exchange jungle areas with us."

"It's okay, just change it." Lin Dong glanced at his lower jungle area and didn't care.

If you fight the opponent head-on at level 1, not only will you not be able to win, but there is also no need to do so.

It’s better to avoid the spotlight for the time being.

Not only that, in this game, Lin Dong actually hoped that Blank would choose to exchange the jungle area with him.

Normally, such a jungle swap will definitely affect the jungler's rhythm, especially the jungle route and the gank route, which are easy to be calculated by the opponent and it is difficult to find opportunities.

But this game is different.

Because Lin Dong didn't plan to take the normal jungle clearing route at the beginning.

I didn't choose to start with the blue buff, but instead chose to attack the Frog.

The moment the toad is refreshed, it directly casts a punishment and quickly obtains the wild monster buff [Gift of Toad Fungus], which is equivalent to obtaining the effect of a small anti-armor.

This effect allows the excavator to inflict continuous magic damage to the enemy attacker for a certain period of time when attacked by enemy units, including heroes, soldiers and monsters.

Of course, the damage is not high, but the key is... the effect of this buff can be released to multiple targets at the same time.

In other words, after obtaining the [Gift of Toadstools] buff, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when you kill wild monsters such as three wolves, four birds and stone men.

What's more, the excavator's Q skill [Queen's Wrath] itself comes with additional AOE damage.

So after killing the Demonic Swamp Frog, Lin Dong immediately turned around and started to kill the three wolves.

Until this point, Lin Dong's jungle route still had no problems.

After all, in this version, there are quite a few jungle routes where the Gromp starts the game.

At the same time, in the commentary booth, watching this scene, the colonel also spoke.

"VG finally decided to change the jungle area."

"But in this case, the top laner might be a little hard to catch. Although the Dragon Turtle is very tanky, its damage is not high. If Dong wants to catch it, the damage may not be enough."

"It depends on whether they will gank the middle lane immediately after reaching level 3. Leng Shao picked Leblanc in this round. If he can help the middle lane establish an advantage in the laning phase, the chances of winning will be greater."

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The colonel's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Wait? Player Dong's jungle route... what the hell is this?"

"The Frog started the game, then killed three wolves. But after killing the three wolves, he didn't kill the blue buff. Why did he go to the middle lane?"

"In this position, he is not trying to cooperate with Leblanc to kill Tsar by crossing the tower, right? But the damage is not enough! Faker is in very good condition and has flash in his hand."

"No? It seems that he is not going to cross the tower, but... just passing by?"

"Player Dong once again chose to rush from SKT's mid lane to SKT's bottom jungle area."

Seeing this familiar scene, the audience immediately went wild, and countless question marks appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Fuck? Again?"

"No, man, there's no need for that, right? We have to pass by here, right?"

"Is Winter God starting again?"

"Is there any big brother who can analyze why this guy didn't farm the blue buff when starting the game, and went straight through the opponent's first tower at level 2?"

"Why does this script feel familiar to me?"

"I remember that Dong Shen's Nidalee played like this last time, but the problem is... this time the opponent is not IG, but SKT!"

"How dare he...how dare he?"

However, this time, Lin Dong really dared.

No matter how exaggerated Faker's laning ability is, Tsar is still a late-game core who needs to develop. He can only get by in the early laning phase, and his damage is actually not high.

And in this game, Faker was also very smart.

Originally, Tsar's pushing ability was stronger than that of Leblanc.

But he knew that VG's mid and jungle might break through him, especially the opponent's jungler, who liked to go online to gank people at level 1 and 2.

So he did not choose to use the line power to push the line, but chose to put the line back to ensure that he could develop in a relatively safe position.

In order to achieve this goal, he even deliberately moved away from the position of his own soldiers.

Because only in this way, Ahri will not be able to use the AWA combo to consume the enemy at level 1 while pushing the line of soldiers forward at the same time.

In other words, LeBlanc can only choose between pushing the lane and consuming enemy enemies.

This time, Leng Shao chose the military line.

Push the line of troops forcefully, quickly reach level 2, use the level advantage, and continue to press forward until the line of troops is sent into the defense tower.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Dong dared to take advantage of this opportunity to directly clear the jungle from SKT's heartland.

Of course, Leng Shao couldn’t understand what Lin Dong meant by this move for the time being.

He preferred that Lin Dong played it this way just to show off in front of the global audience.

Especially when Lin Dong swaggered past SKT's mid lane in an arrogant manner, the uproar from the audience made him even more certain of one thing.

broken!

This kid really got it!

However, at this moment, only the SKT members thought differently.

When they saw the opponent's excavator using LeBron to force the line and push the line into the tower, using the shortest distance to rush towards SKT's bottom jungle, Blank, who was playing with Toad in VG's bottom jungle, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait? How did this excavator pass through the middle?"

"Besides... how could he be so fast! I have the bottom lane duo to help me, and I just finished clearing two groups of wild monsters!"

"No! He doesn't have any buffs! He didn't hit the blue buff, but instead hit the toad and three wolves... What kind of routine is this?"

"If he continues like this, he might try to counter my red buff, right?"

"No! I don't have time to defend this time! If he moves like this, he's too fast! I won't be able to make it in time!" "The mid laner definitely can't watch. If Tsar goes over to this position, he might be killed instantly by the opponent's mid and jungle!"

"The only way is for our bottom lane duo to go over and take a look!"

Looking at what was happening in the jungle, Wolf and Bang were in sync with each other and they immediately spoke in voice chat without even waiting for Blank's reminder.

"Let's go check out the red buff first."

"We have lane control, we can get there early, and with Braum here, the opponent shouldn't be able to do anything to us."

"We will take care of the opposing jungler."

After saying that, the two of them immediately walked towards the red buff.

However, the two people at this time, or not just SKT's bottom lane duo, but everyone including Faker, subconsciously believed that Lin Dong's excavator took such a big risk to come to the bottom jungle area for the red buff.

But they overlooked one thing.

That is the jungle route and time.

When the mark on Kindred reaches zero, the wild monster mark will definitely appear on the river crab.

The river crab will refresh 2 minutes and 30 seconds after the start of the game.

Under normal circumstances, with the help of teammates to clear wild monsters, when the river crab refreshes, it is the time for the jungler to clear the third group of wild monsters.

Therefore, most Kindred players will kill three groups of wild monsters and then go back to control the river crab.

In this way, you can ensure your combat effectiveness in the early stages without wasting time.

But the problem is... in this game, Excavator reached level three earlier than Kindred.

Because Lin Dong had no intention of opposing the red buff from the beginning, but was instead focusing on the four birds in the opposite lower jungle area!
With the buff of [Gift of Toxic Fungi] and the Q skill, Lin Dong killed the four birds with almost no effort.

The experience from three groups of small wild monsters, plus the extra experience bonus from killing the first group of wild monsters with a jungle knife, as well as the experience gained from passing through the middle lane, was just enough for Lin Dong to reach level three ahead of schedule.

On the other hand, Blank had just reached the third group of wild monsters, and the three wolves still had more than half of their health left to be killed!
The time difference is out!

As long as we can create a time difference, everything will be fine.

Not only that.

Just when Lin Dong reached level three, the river crab also refreshed!

And Kindred's first mark was exactly on the crab in the lower river!

Looking at the location of the mark, Lin Dong immediately began giving commands through the voice.

"The opposing Kindred is in my jungle. The opposing bot laner should be coming to find me. Xiao Duan, come directly to me. Brother Ma, go to the jungle alone to find Kindred!"

"Although you are lower level than him, his burst is not high in the early stage, and he doesn't have a red buff, so he can't catch you to death."

"You just have to keep him!"

"The midlaner shouldn't fight back, find a way to come over and guard the river."

"I reached level 3 earlier than the opponent's Kindred. I have smite. Even if the opponent's bottom lane duo comes over, I can still smite the river crab!"

"Remember, surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements first! Beat them up and they will naturally not dare to come to rescue. Then think of a way to find Kindred!"

"You like to switch jungle areas? You stare at the buff every day, right?"

"I'll leave all the buffs to the opponent in this round. I just want to see how many minutes it will take for the opponent's Kindred to reach the fourth level of the mark!"

At the same time, on the other side, Wolf finally discovered something was wrong.

When he walked to the red buff, he found that the excavator he expected was not there.

The red buff was still standing there, motionless.

He subconsciously put a question mark on the map and couldn't help asking.

"The opponent's excavator... didn't even counter our red buff? Then why did he come to our jungle?"

"Wait? He wouldn't just do a four-birds counter and leave, right?"

At this point, even Wolf himself felt that this was a bit too outrageous.

How much does a set of four birds cost?
Is it necessary to run from the middle lane for a group of small wild monsters?

However, only Blank in the jungle suddenly felt something was wrong.

He subconsciously glanced at the opponent's bottom lane.

as predicted!

The bull head and skateboard shoes disappeared!
He must have come to the jungle to find me.

Normally, the opposing duo in bottom lane wouldn’t dare to come.

Because Braum and Lucian have higher burst capabilities, the opponent cannot win.

But when Braum chose to go to the jungle to help him guard the red buff, the situation changed completely.

The offensive and defensive momentum is completely different!
It was not until this moment that he finally realized that he had been fooled!
"wrong!"

"You shouldn't help me guard the jungle area!"

"If you guys go to this position, I will be surrounded by the enemy!"

"The reason why the opponent's excavator did not counter the red buff but chose to counter F4 is definitely because he wanted to quickly reach level and then block my retreat!"

"It's bad, you guys have to get to the river quickly! Otherwise I might not be able to escape this time!"

At this moment, Blank didn't even think about his first mark.

Survive first!

The decision to change the jungle was correct, but the mistake was that Blank forgot that the reason he was able to change the jungle was not because Kindred was so strong in the jungle in the early stage, but because Braum was too strong in small-scale team battles.

Once Braum's position is too far away and the battlefield is divided, he will be a lamb to be slaughtered in the jungle!

At this moment, Blank was nervous and began to plan various escape routes in his mind, to see if he could find a way to delay until Braum came to support him.

However, what he didn't know was.

This time, in the jungle, only Skateboards went to find him.

But Niutou didn't go.

A small piece of Minotaur was squatting in the grass at the bottom river, waiting for the arrival of the SKT bottom lane duo.

Soon, Bron took the lead and appeared in his sight.

At this time, Wolf saw at a glance what was not far away. He did not choose to double-team Kindred, but instead attacked the river crab's excavator first. So he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in the voice.

"The opposing jungler didn't come over to catch you, you just need to come over... Wait! Why is this Minotaur here with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a team battle at the river was about to break out.

When Wolf saw the excavator, he wanted to walk forward and use his Q skill to activate his passive ability to force the excavator back.

However, unexpectedly, a Minotaur Chief suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside him, flashed WQ combo, and lifted up Lucian at the back.

Seeing Lucian being knocked away, Lin Dong immediately turned around, used the E skill to drill a tunnel, closed the distance immediately, and took over the control.

Leng Shao, who had been waiting for a long time not far away, saw this and immediately attacked, using the W skill to get closer, and using the QE combo to set the trigger mark while also putting on the chain.

Fortunately, both Wolf and Bang reacted quickly.

Wolf immediately used Weakness on the excavator, while Bang pressed the healing spell in mid-air to raise his own health. Then, the moment he landed, he immediately flashed backwards and kept some distance to avoid being chained by the second part of the E skill of Ahri, thus escaping the disaster.

At the same time, Faker's Tsar finally arrived at the front battlefield.

In this wave, both sides exchanged summoner skills, and no kills were created. It seemed that no one lost or gained anything.

However, for Blank, this scene was like a bolt from the blue, hitting him directly!
because……

He is still in VG's jungle!

After this wave of fighting, Lucian was in too bad a condition to continue fighting. Tsar could do it, but he lacked the ability to retain people in the early stage, and had no means of invasion.

The two sides seemed to be fighting back and forth, but in fact, SKT's bottom lane duo was forced back by VG.

So now comes the problem.

What should I do now?
Blank is now surrounded by enemies and is isolated and helpless!

It seemed that there was only one ending waiting for him.

That's like being caught in a jar!
