Chapter 183 SKT's Trap

Seeing his teammates being forced to retreat in the river, Blank finally came to his senses and accepted this cruel fact.

That is this wave, there is absolutely no way he can escape from the front.

For him, the only thing he can do now is to stop the loss in time.

When you are in the enemy jungle and are surrounded, the only way to stop the loss is to lose the tower.

The resurrection time is short in the early stage, and sending the tower is equivalent to returning to the city quickly, and it will not give the head to the opponent. It is indeed a way to kill two birds with one stone.

If he had sent the tower immediately when he found himself surrounded from the very beginning, he would have been 100% successful.

The problem was, Blank hesitated at first.

Because he felt that in this wave, as long as Wolf's Braum arrived at the front battlefield, this small team battle could be fought!
And the chances of winning are not low!

What if the opposing support Minotaur can use WQ to combo on himself?
I can just dodge it!
After dodging, as long as Braum is close enough to you, you can flash and raise your shield in front of you. Not only can you block skills, but you can also block all of Skateboard Shoes' basic attacks!

If we combine this with Braum's passive to force a wave, how can we not win?
That's why he took the initiative to move closer to the river in the bottom lane, trying to find an opportunity to take over this team fight.

What Blank didn't expect was that the most crucial Minotaur on the opposite side didn't come to find him, but was crouching in the grass in the river. He then used Lucian's double skills to force back the bottom lane duo.

Lucian was in poor condition, so Braum naturally didn't dare to push forward. Tsar's early burst was not enough, and his ability to retain people was also very poor. He had no time to take care of Blank in the jungle. At this time, Blank could only watch his first wild monster mark being taken by the opponent, and he could only find a way to lose the tower.

However, Lin Dong had already anticipated his movements.

Send tower?

I'm familiar with this!

So at the beginning, he asked Sima Laozei to go to the jungle to find Qianjue instead of coming over to ambush people together.

The purpose is to catch the opposing jungler Kindred!

Hesitation leads to defeat.

Just as Blank walked into VG's bottom lane highland tower and was about to return to the city quickly, a sharp spear flew towards him from behind.

At that moment, Blank's body shook violently, and he subconsciously pressed the flash button to avoid Skateboard Shoes' Q skill.

But... this time, the old thief Sima came prepared.

Although the Q skill was dodged by Kindred, the Q skill combined with the passive displacement effect had already taken effect.

With the help of flash, he finally hit the opponent with a basic attack at the last second when Kindred was about to die.

Blank was stunned by this scene.

“The skateboard shoes on the opposite side are actually in this position?”

"This shouldn't be the case!"

"Wait! He came straight towards me from the beginning, that's why he was so fast!"

"It's over now, I can't give it away!"

The next second, his screen suddenly went black, and a familiar voice was heard in the canyon.

"First Blood!"

A blood is born!

Seeing this scene, the crowd in the audience immediately went wild.

"No, this is only one blood?"

"My goodness, isn't Blank just giving it away?"

"Shouldn't it be an advantage for Braum and Lucian to go to the bottom lane? With Braum's passive, shouldn't SKT be invincible in the bottom half? How did it turn out like this?"

“I feel like SKT really gave us too many opportunities this time!”

"Isn't that right? It feels like VG is the one running this game!"

"Ah? How come it's operational now?"

"If Winter hadn't walked down from SKT's mid lane tower, Wolf's Braum wouldn't have gone to the red buff. Without even a glance at the red buff, he could have gone to the river to support Kindred in the first place. Lucian and Braum wouldn't have been out of sync, and they wouldn't have been attacked first, and eventually left in disgrace. Kindred wouldn't have given up the tower, and definitely wouldn't have given up first blood."

"Fuck! It seems to be true!"

"Wait? Could it be that Dong Shen wasn't just showing off just now, but was trying to trick SKT's bottom lane duo to come find him?"

"Turtle! Is this even possible? Could VG really win against SKT in this game?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became excited.

There is no way. For several consecutive seasons, the dominance of the SKT team has been obvious to all. Almost all teams that can participate in global competitions have a common goal, which is to overthrow SKT.

However, compared to everyone else, the colonel in the commentary booth was much calmer.

Seeing VG take the first blood, he couldn't help but speak.

"VG handled this wave of rhythm really well."

"But this little advantage is not enough for VG to successfully snowball, so VG must always be careful of the opponent's counterattack next."

"SKT is not really afraid of being at a disadvantage in the early game. They are very good at finding opportunities to regain the rhythm."

"The key is that the first blood was taken by Skateboard Shoes. It is difficult for the hero Skateboard Shoes to find an advantage when fighting against Lucian and Braum, because Braum's E skill can block the basic attack, which is too disgusting. Lucian's passive skill can quickly trigger Braum's passive effect. So even if they get the first blood now, the situation in the bottom lane is still very unfavorable for VG."

"If we get the first blood in the middle lane, it will be much easier to fight."

"I'm wondering, should VG find a way to shift the focus of the rhythm to the middle lane next?"

"But this is a real test of the awareness of both junglers, but Faker is also very stable, and it feels difficult to find opportunities!"

But the doll next to him immediately retorted.

"I feel like VG actually has a chance, but not in the middle lane, but in the jungle."

"Because VG has an advantage that is easily overlooked."

"That's the Dragon Turtle on the top lane. It actually has a roaming advantage!"

"Blank hasn't flashed yet in this wave..."

"If at this moment, Saint Spear directly gives up the laning phase and goes to the jungle to look for Kindred, how should Blank handle it?"

Hearing this, the colonel said subconsciously.

"He shouldn't be heading towards the upper jungle area, right?"

"It's not up to him." Wawa glanced at the screen and said, "Didn't you notice a problem? From the beginning to now, even after winning this wave of rhythm, Dong did not choose to counter SKT's red buff. Instead, he chose to kill the stone man, return to the city immediately, and then clear his own upper jungle area."

"As for Blank, because the four birds and the stone man in the lower jungle were countered, if he wanted to clear the jungle, he could only go to the lower jungle to kill the red buff first, and then go to the upper jungle. It just so happened that the second round of toads and three wolves were about to refresh."

"In this case, won't the junglers from both teams collide again in the upper jungle area?"

"And... didn't you notice that after returning to the city, Dong still didn't choose to attack the buff?"

After hearing this, the colonel was stunned, and then immediately looked at the screen.

Just like Doll said.

After cooperating with Xiao Duan's Minotaur to take the initiative to use Lucian's double skills, Lin Dong took advantage of this wave of advantage and immediately entered SKT's lower jungle area. After killing the Stone Man, he immediately returned to the city and then cleared all the way from the top lane.

This time, he still did not choose to attack the red buff.

On the one hand, killing the red buff is too time-consuming. On the other hand, in the jungle, even if there is flash, the excavator can still beat Kindred in a single duel even without the red buff. Besides... this time, Lin Dong was not prepared for a single duel, but for a righteous group fight.

He took advantage of the situation to kill the stone man and four birds in his upper jungle area, then turned to show his face in the top lane.

Although Duke couldn't be killed due to the damage of the dragon turtle, Duke didn't dare to be careless. He decisively chose to retreat, and then immediately reported the location of the excavator to Blank.

Looking at the strange jungle route of the opponent's excavator, Blank, who was about to go to the upper jungle area to farm after killing the red buff, was stunned at first, a little confused about the opponent's approach.

It wasn't until he saw the upper river crab still there that his body suddenly froze!
"Wait? Upper River Crab?"

"My mark is now at level zero, so the mark is still on the river crab!"

"Because the first mark is the crab in the lower river, after it is snatched away by the opponent's jungler, you need to wait for a certain period of time before the mark will be refreshed on the crab in the upper river."

"It just so happens that in this wave, the enemy jungler forced our top laner to retreat, and then we can cooperate with the dragon turtle to control the upper river crab again!"

"Not only that, after controlling the river crab, these two people are likely to come directly into my jungle to catch me!"

"I don't have flash. If the opponent's dragon turtle taunts me first, I will definitely die!"

"It's over! This completely ruins my rhythm!"

Suddenly, Blank put on a mask of pain on his face.

The opponent's style of play seemed to only result in a small profit, but in fact, it dealt a devastating blow to Blank's rhythm.

Because for any jungler, the best route to catch people is always to wait for the wild monsters to refresh while clearing the jungle, and then go to gank.

But this time, Blank couldn't do it.

Basically, you don't need to pay attention to the top and middle lanes. The Dragon Turtle is too tanky, the Leblanc is too flexible, and the Tsar has no control skills in the early stage, so they can't be caught at all.

The only place that can be caught is the bottom lane. After all, if Braum flashes and activates his passive, there is still a chance.

But the problem is... at this point in time, going to the bottom lane to gank is just courting death, isn't it?

There is only a red buff in the lower jungle area, and no other wild monsters.

Go to the lower jungle and it’s OK if you kill the enemy. If you fail to kill the enemy, you will lose a lot of money and you won’t be able to get the upper jungle area.

However, the opponent's jungler kept pushing him towards the lower jungle area.

Because they have the initiative in the top and middle lanes!
Of course, theoretically speaking, there is actually a better way to stop loss for Blank.

Although the opponent's excavator chose to invade, the opponent did not attack the buff in order to save time, so Blank could completely attack the opponent's buff and start the game with four buffs!

but……

Blank dares?

In front of Dragon Turtle and Leblanc, go to the excavator's jungle to counter jungle?
And you're going to counter jungle in a situation where the vision of the upper river is likely to be controlled by the opponent?
If Blank had a normal mind, he would know that this was a dead end.

In comparison, going to the bottom lane to gank people seems so reasonable!

Thinking of this, Blank took a deep breath and immediately changed his mind. He quickly used punishment to remove the blue buff, set up a vision at the entrance, and then immediately walked down, wanting to take advantage of the opponent's jungler's time to kill the three wolves and replenish some economy.

However, what Blank did not expect was that even so, his actions were still within Lin Dong's calculations.

After forcing back the big tree in the top lane, Lin Dong did not choose to turn back to control the river crab, but immediately called for Brother Saint to drive straight into SKT's upper jungle area.

It just so happens that this time is when the second group of three wolves refresh.

Looking at the dragon turtle rushing towards him, Blank immediately understood what was going on.

"The opposing jungler has completely blocked the refresh times of the small wild monsters!"

"He's not going to release any group of small wild monsters to me!"

"Shit! He doesn't refresh the buff, but he has AOE damage. He is in the jungle near the wall and has a tunnel for movement. His speed is too fast!"

"No! I'm too late! I can't get this three wolfs!"

"But...even though I can't get the three wolves, I should have a chance with my four birds."

"Unless the enemy jungler comes over from the middle lane tower like in the last wave! Otherwise, he will definitely not make it in time!"

"However, the toad and three wolves on the opposite side also refreshed at this time."

"if……"

Thinking of this, Blank's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he suddenly smelled an opportunity!
Stop loss is useless, the key is to find a way to get the rhythm back.

So he spoke immediately.

"I feel like the opposing jungler will still go from this position!"

"It just so happens that this wave of mid lane is an opportunity to rush to level 6. The opponent's mid laner may forcefully push the lane again."

"How about we put the line back in the middle?"

"In order to save time, the opposing jungler might think that I went to their bottom jungle area and then came over from here."

"As long as I don't move, he won't be able to hear me. If the assistant can come to help, we should be able to kill him from this position!"

Hearing Blank's words, Wolf's eyes lit up and he spoke immediately.

"Okay! I'll pretend to wander around the river, pretending to cover an invasion of the other side's bottom jungle area, and then come over to double-team him!"

"If he dares to move from this position, he will surely die!"

Having reached a consensus, the SKT team immediately took action.

Blank's Kindred first set his vision on the bushes where the four birds were, and then hid behind the wall of the red buff, motionless, to avoid being heard by the excavator.

At the same time, Wolf also immediately walked towards the river, pretending to cover Kindred to continue farming the jungle, but in fact he immediately turned back and prepared to outflank the Excavator.

And this scene soon caught the colonel's attention.

Looking at the actions of SKT's jungler and support, the colonel's face changed immediately.

"Oh no! This is a trap!"

"Contestant Dong, please don't go over there!"

However, Lin Dong did not expect at this moment that the opposing jungler would react in such a short time and even set a trap for him.

So he did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He glanced at the soldiers in the middle lane who were entering the tower again, and once again chose to walk from the first tower to SKT's lower jungle area, preparing to swipe the second group of four birds.

Looking at this scene, the VG fans in the audience were completely anxious.

In the live broadcast room, countless viewers were extremely anxious, and barrages of comments instantly surged.

"Fuck! Don't let this wave pass through here!"

"It's over! This is a trap!"

"God of Winter, run quickly! If you don't run now, it will be too late!"

Not far away, Blank finally smiled as he watched the excavator coming from its old location as expected.

This wave is stable!
