Chapter 197 The method of provoking generals!

As soon as Wolf said this, the voice chat became quiet instantly.

Faker, in particular, cut the screen at the speed of light and looked towards the bottom lane.

as predicted!

The opponent's rat had already reached level 2 even though there were still more than half of the waves of soldiers left to be cleared!
It is obvious that the opponent's rat did not lose any experience at all!

For a moment, even Faker was stunned.

"This doesn't make sense, does it?"

"The rat was weak in the early stages, and he was fighting two people at once, how could he possibly gain experience?"

"You didn't press it?"

In response to Faker's question, Wolf could only smile bitterly and spoke.

"Of course I pushed! I had already crossed the line of soldiers to push, how could I not! The moment the opponent's support appeared in the middle lane, I had already pushed forward. It's easy to imagine, how could Rat fight against the two of us alone?"

"As long as he appears in the lane, I will definitely flash him directly, use his double skills, and even have a chance to kill him."

“But he’s not online at all!”

Faker certainly didn't believe this explanation and said.

"If he hadn't been online, there's no way he would have reached level 2 so quickly!"

While the two were arguing, Blank on the side suddenly spoke up.

"Wait! I get it!"

"The opponent's rat is online! He just didn't show up!"

After these words were spoken, Faker and Wolf were both stunned. Until this moment, they still didn't understand what Blank meant.

At this time, Blank took a deep breath and asked back.

"Have you forgotten the effect of Rat's Q skill?"

"Although you pushed forward, you didn't see the mouse's position. Would you rashly flash and attack the air?"

Until this moment, Wolf finally reacted.

"You mean... this rat was actually online at level 1, he used his Q skill to turn invisible, took the experience of the first three minions, and then went back?"

"Ah? This is also possible?"

"The AD on the opposite side can even think of this?"

However, what Wolf didn't know was that this idea was not actually thought up by Sima Laozei himself.

As a professional player in S6, even if he was praised as a "stable" player by many commentators, the most he could do was not to lose too much health in the laning phase, and he knew not to leave the tower after being reminded by his teammates, and he would retreat immediately when he saw the opponent surrounding him.

Every player has his or her own limitations due to the version they have experienced.

But Lin Dong is different.

He had seen the "beastly" behavior of the top players in LPL in the next few versions. Various tactics of three-on-one, four-on-one, and four-on-two had become commonplace.

There is even a dirty tactic where at level 1, four people hide in a bush in the top lane just to help the top laner get the first blood!

In such a distorted environment, as the party at a disadvantage in laning, they will naturally develop in another direction, taking the concept of sneaky development to the extreme.

In this direction, those who have reached the pinnacle are undoubtedly those who "experience" and so on.

Especially on the road.

In one of the patch updates, a U-shaped path deep into the wall was created between the top and bottom lane areas.

Because this U-shaped road is somewhat abstract, more players jokingly call it a "toilet."

The initial research on this routine actually came from a forum called "Desert Death Bar".

Desert Reaper, also known as Dog Head, is a hero that is very weak in the early stage but very strong in the middle and late stages because of the permanent damage stacking mechanism of his Q skill.

It is for this reason that many junglers choose to target Nasus in the early game.

So the routine of Nasus going to the "toilet" on the top lane to gain experience at level 1 came into being.

Later, this routine even appeared on the court.

It was from then on that various strategies for gaining experience began to appear in various positions in League of Legends.

Even Lin Dong had used one of them once before.

For example, in the middle lane, if the opponent's troops are pushing over, then as a jungler, you can stand at F4 near the wall of the middle lane area and pretend to be farming, but in fact you can gain the experience of the mid laner through the wall, thus leading the opponent's jungler in experience.

As for the rat's level 1 invisibility and smelling experience, it is naturally one of the strategies in the bottom lane.

So from the very beginning, when Lin Dong called Xiao Duan to come to the middle lane to gank, he had already given the correct answer in the voice chat.

"The support is roaming, and the ADC can't fight the lane alone? Of course I know I can't fight the lane!"

"If you dare to go up and finish him off, you will definitely die. You can't escape even if you have flash."

"So just don't make up for it!"

"AD missed a few knives in the early game, and it was worth it to gain experience in the middle lane."

"What? Don't like experience?"

"Doesn't Rat have a Q skill? He can turn invisible at level 1! Could it be that Wolf flashed and used E in the air at level 1 to E you out? If that's what he did, then I think he really opened it."

So at the moment when the rhythm in the middle lane broke out, Sima Laozei stood in the blind spot of the corner, activated the Q skill [Ambush], entered the invisible state, and then walked forward.

The invisibility duration of the mouse's Q skill is relatively long. Even if it is only level one, it lasts for a full 10 seconds.

10 seconds was enough time for him to gain experience from the deaths of the first three melee soldiers under the noses of SKT's bottom lane duo, and then retreat to a safe distance.

Neither Wolf nor Bang were aware of this.

Especially Wolf. When he saw the opponent's support appear in the middle lane, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked to the bottom lane, and found that the first three minions had been killed, and the opponent's rat had not appeared yet. His subconscious reaction was...

"Wait? Bullhead was caught at level one?"

"Where's the rat man? Don't you want the experience anymore?"

"No! Could this rat also go to the middle lane to gank? The rat can indeed catch people when it learns the Q skill at level 1!"

"I think I've seen this before! VG seems to have played this kind of bottom lane self-destruction strategy before!"

So Wolf immediately shouted in the voice chat.

"Bang, stop blocking the line. The opponent's AD is not in the bottom lane. If you continue to block the line, it will help the opponent to block it!"

"Push the line directly into the tower!"

"Then we go to the middle lane and try to help the mid and jungle first! The opponent's rat may have already passed by!"

"They don't want to explode in the laning phase. As long as we keep the mid and jungle stable, they will be the ones to explode!"

However, as soon as Wolf left the bottom lane, he saw Faker's Lulu in the middle lane, who was hit by Diana's Q flash and took the first blood.

If it was just this first blood, Wolf might not have felt so bad.

But at the moment when the first blood sounded, Lucian in the bottom lane just pushed the line into the tower, and not far away, the figure of the rat slowly emerged, and then began to make up for the tower damage with peace of mind.

For a moment, Wolf was embarrassed!
If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the bottom lane, grabbed level 2, and then went over the tower to kill the rat!
In this case, it will be a huge loss!
But now that things have happened, there is no point in saying anything.

In desperation, everyone could only return to the laning stage.

For SKT, although VG set a trap for them and took the first blood, the laning phase was not affected much.

In the bottom lane, Lucian and Thresh still had the advantage, especially Bang in this round, who played very bravely and had already made the difference in last-hitting. As for the mid lane, Faker did not fall into any disadvantages. With neither side having flash, he relied on his strong laning ability to not only quickly catch up with the last-hitting, but also suppressed the opponent in terms of health.

However, at this moment, the SKT players were not happy at all.

Because in this game, the most crucial person is Yasuo, but now he is having a very comfortable time.

Not only did he live comfortably, but he also gained an advantage in the laning phase!

It sounds incredible that Yasuo can gain an advantage against Gragas, but it is completely possible in the top lane!
Because Gragas is a hero who relies on skills, after using a set of skills, he must retreat, wait for the next set of skills to refresh, and use the skills to recover health.

But Yasuo is different.

Yasuo is a continuous output hero. As long as he can stick to the enemy, he can keep chasing and outputing, and he will become more and more courageous as the battle goes on.

It just so happens that Yasuo has enough distance to chase!
more importantly……

Duke is not a top laner who excels in laning ability!

When laning against Saint Spear, he certainly didn't reveal any flaws. He couldn't gain much advantage, but he didn't have any disadvantage either. Moreover, SKT didn't need him to gain an advantage in the laning phase.

But this game is different!

When he faced Leng Shao's Yasuo, he finally began to feel stretched!

At first, Duke's idea was actually a good one.

Doesn't Yasuo need E?
As long as he E's over to you, use your E skill to hit him so that he can't get close to you!
It's the same principle as using a barrel to hit a weapon.

If the opponent wants to use the soldiers as a springboard to move, then use the W skill. While pushing the line while last-hitting, use the passive of the W skill to splash the opponent.

In this way, you will have the advantage!
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Duke wanted to use the minions to splash Yasuo, and Leng Shao also seized this opportunity.

Whenever Duke's Gragas' W skill comes down, he immediately uses E on the Gragas!

Because there are minions blocking the two of them in the pile of minions, so in this position, if Gragas wants to knock Yasuo out, he can only use E later.

However, when Duke knocked Yasuo down, he found that the second wave of minions had arrived!
Yasuo can use his E skill to continue chasing, but he can only move away and escape.

After just one fight, Duke discovered something was wrong, so he immediately gave up on taking the initiative and did not actively consume Yasuo. Instead, he held the E skill in his hand and used it to escape.

But Leng Shao had already anticipated this situation.

Whenever Duke wanted to escape, he would actively accumulate wind, either to interrupt Gragas's E skill, or to force E up and use his body to block the path of Gragas' E and use his body to keep the opponent away.

Although at first glance, Yasuo's health will definitely drop faster than Gragas, but as long as he can catch up, the two of them will fight with basic attacks, and Yasuo, who has the bloodthirsty Warlord talent, will have an absolute advantage.

Simply put, when Yasuo is laning against Gragas, Yasuo has to force a blood exchange with the opponent. The more aggressively he fights, the greater the advantage. Once he gets timid, he will fall into a disadvantage!

So after all this, within four minutes, Duke's forehead was already sweating.

Looking at Yasuo who had control over every detail on the opposite side, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but said nothing.

In fact, Yasuo's style of play does have flaws.

Such frequent blood exchanges and wind accumulation will definitely push the line of troops over quickly, and Yasuo can only use the enemy minions to move, and has no means of escape. He will die if he is caught.

So at this time, all you need to do is let the jungler train Yasuo and you can directly turn him into a "nursery".

But Duke couldn't do it.

Because SKT has extremely strict tactical requirements, if you are asked to develop slowly, you have to develop slowly. The so-called strict compliance with orders is the foundation for SKT to operate perfectly in many cases. Moreover, before the start of this game, Kkoma had reminded you to just develop slowly in the top lane and wait for the mid, jungle and bottom lane to make their efforts.

In this situation, Duke knew it was useless to shout for help, so he simply gave up.

At this time, Leng Shao also discovered something was wrong.

So he frowned and said subconsciously.

"Wait a minute? Why does SKT's top laner seem a bit weak in laning?"

"Why do I feel like I have a chance to kill him? Lin Dong, what do you think?"

Hearing what Leng Shao said, Lin Dong, who was clearing the jungle, immediately rolled his eyes.

I thought, isn’t that nonsense?
Duke is not The Shy, is the e-sports koi kidding you?
Why did SKT's performance in the spring season suddenly plummet after top laner Marin left in S6?
It was because Bengi's condition declined and he could only gank the middle lane, so he was replaced by the head coach. The new main jungler Blank thought that Duke was very good at laning, so he chose to gank the top lane. As a result, he managed to destroy SKT.

Fortunately, Blank adjusted his tactics at the critical moment, changing to catching the middle and bottom lanes, and Faker also made an effort, which allowed SKT to return to the top.

It was also because of this that Lin Dong felt confident and bold enough to let Leng Shao take over at the beginning.

If Marin was still on the opposite side, Lin Dong would definitely not dare to use such tactics.

However, when he heard that Leng Shao seemed to have some ideas, Lin Dong decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Is the opponent's top laner very weak? I don't think so. I feel he is quite strong. Your blood exchange is a bit fierce. Be careful, otherwise it will be embarrassing to be killed by a single player."

As expected, as soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, Leng Shao immediately became anxious.

"Damn, Lin Dong, you don't trust me that much? Believe it or not, I can kill you alone today? If I can't kill Faker alone, can I kill the opponent's top laner alone? Do you really think I can't play Yasuo?"

Seeing that his provocation was successful, Lin Dong's mouth corners immediately curled up.

When others get angry, it may be because of anger, but more often it is because of impotence and rage.

When the king of solo kills gets angry, no matter whether it is Leng Shao or Rookie, these two will really solo kill the opponent in front of you!
Shaking his head, Lin Dong didn't care about these things, but focused on the bottom lane.

Because he knew very well that although he had gained the advantage at level 1, Blank had also regained his rhythm and was ready to attack the bottom lane!
So Lin Dong didn't even have time to finish fighting in the upper half of the jungle. After finishing the rhythm in the middle lane, he turned back to refresh a set of blue buffs and hurried to the bottom lane.

As expected, just a few seconds after Lin Dong took position, Wolf also took action.

He directly flashed the E skill and pushed back the Minotaur Chieftain who had no dual skills, then decisively used Q and connected with the control skill. The Lee Sin behind him immediately appeared, and the three of them immediately focused on the Minotaur Chieftain.

Of course, the Minotaur Chieftain couldn't withstand this damage, his health dropped rapidly, and he was obviously on the verge of being killed.

But as a tank, it is still very rare to be killed instantly before he can even use any skills.

So before he died, Xiao Duan's Minotaur used his Q skill to knock the closest Thresh into the air.

At the same time, Lin Dong also appeared on the front battlefield.

Looking at the bright moon that suddenly appeared, Wolf was stunned and immediately found something wrong.

"Why is this Yue on the other side here?"

"It's bad! We've been ambushed by the enemy!"

At the moment when he was knocked away by the Q skill, Diana came up and used the E skill to pull him forward a short distance, while the Minotaur behind him used the W skill to push him directly into VG's bottom lane tower.

Originally, the Minotaur was hiding in front of the defensive tower in the laning phase. In order to set the pace, he flashed to start a team fight. At this time, he had no way to escape. He could only watch the Minotaur die, and then he was killed by VG.

So the two sides' supports successfully exchanged one for one.

However, when Blank saw that he was ambushed by the opponent's jungler, he was not depressed at all, but became happy instead.

"That bright moon across the way! It's really crazy!"

"At his level... his jungle route is rotten!"

"In order to counter-camp me, are you willing to sacrifice your level?"

"Diana couldn't beat me in a one-on-one duel, and now she's even lower level than me. I wonder how she'll play after reaching level 6!"

"I really don't know. Why do you have to play like this when you can just kill the wild monsters?"

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

The announcer's cold voice suddenly came from the canyon.

"VG Icon (Wind Yasuo) killed SKT Duke (Barrel)!"

Suddenly, Blank's body stiffened!
