Chapter 211 Who is this person?
Looking at the scarecrow beside him, Leng Shao felt a chill.

As a fellow mid laner, he knew very well how desperate Faker was during this period of time.

I have almost all the displacement skills, but I can't use any of them!

If Fizz could have used his E skill to dodge a little bit of damage in this wave, he would have escaped.

The problem is... I can't press it out at all!

There's no way this can work!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said softly.

"Be reasonable, Lin Dong."

"RNG spent two months researching and played two Bo5 games but still couldn't figure out how to restrain the mid-lane assassin, but you figured it out."

"Next time the opposing jungler chooses Scarecrow to annoy me, you'll have to take the blame!"

Hearing what Leng Shao said, Lin Dong was stunned at first, then he laughed and scolded.

"The opponent chose Scarecrow, and you didn't know to bring Purification?"

"Faker didn't carry this game because they wanted to play mid-jungle rhythm and gain laning advantage, so he couldn't carry."

"We don't need to force the mid-jungle rhythm, and Saint Spear's top lane won't be a breakthrough point."

But this time, Lin Dong was a little too optimistic.

Although he got the first blood from Faker and immediately piled up magic resistance after returning home in an attempt to gain an advantage in the mid-jungle battle, Lin Dong never expected that SKT would open up the situation in another way!
That’s right, bottom lane!
The combination of Annie and Sin can only withstand pressure, but they have one advantage, which is the fast clearing speed.

So when he saw Faker being killed in the middle lane, Bang simply chose to push the line frantically, and then pushed the tower after pushing the line.

Not only that, taking advantage of the initiative in the bottom lane, SKT actually chose to trade towers this time!

Yes, it’s not about changing lanes, but changing towers!

After pushing the line, Annie and Sin went to the top lane, but the Troll did not leave, but pushed the tower together.

And soon even the spiders came to help.

Seeing this scene, Saint Spear Brother had no choice but to retreat.

Whether it's Annie, Troll, or Elise, their tower pushing speed far exceeds VG's lineup.

Because of this, SKT quickly used this method to take down the upper and lower lane towers, completely turning the disadvantage around.

Taking advantage of the military line, SKT frantically arranged vision.

This style of play directly silenced Lin Dong and Saint Spear Brother.

Because whether it is Malzahar or Scarecrow, if they want to use their ultimate skills to set the rhythm, they must have a vision advantage.

But now...VG doesn't.

The key is that SKT is very smart. They only play the pushing rhythm and never fight in a team. For example, they directly chose to give up the first two little dragons.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this style of play. After all, in the later stages of the battle, the lineups of both sides were evenly matched.

But the problem lies in the middle!

18 minutes interval.

Blank's Spider went to gank the middle lane, and Lin Dong was also counter-ganking. However, Blank predicted the path of Leng Shao's Ahri's second W skill to turn back, and hit her with the E skill cocoon, imprisoning her in place.

And at the critical moment, Wolf's nurse also stood up, flashed directly, and tried to use the active effect of the crucible first to eliminate the fear that Lin Dong gave to Fizz, and then used an E skill at the feet of Leblanc, causing Leng Shao's Leblanc to be taken away without using the flash. Lin Dong's ultimate move had not been refreshed yet, so he was forced to use the flash to escape.

But it was obvious that SKT was not going to let him go, and five of them kept chasing him along the river.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Duan couldn't help but shook his head and said in the voice.

"It's over. Something big has happened this time."

"Although we have come closer, we may not be able to save this wave!"

"This Wheel Mother has already used her ultimate skill to speed up and surround you."

However, after hearing Xiao Duan's words, Lin Dong glanced at the screen and suddenly spoke.

"No! I think this wave can win! Come on!"

Upon hearing this, the VG members who were preparing to retreat and stop losses were stunned.

The mid laner died first, and you only have so little health left, and you don’t even have flash. Can you fight this wave?
Crazy!
But this time, Lin Dong didn't have time to explain.

At this moment, he was calculating various possibilities in his mind.

There are two reasons why he thinks he can fight!

First, although Blank used the predicted E skill to successfully show off, killing Leng Shao's Ahri and driving himself into the encirclement, in fact, the opposite was true.

In the river in the upper area, Fizz and Spider are chasing head-on.

And Annie used her ultimate skill, and took Sorcerer and Troll to encircle the area from behind through the triangle grass in the top lane.

This means that SKT's lineup is completely out of touch!
You have the opportunity to operate it yourself!
The second point is also the most important one.

Lin Dong looked at his skill bar.

In the column for the R skill, the gray numbers began to count down!
That's right!

My ultimate skill [Crow Storm] is about to be refreshed!
For Scarecrow, having an ultimate skill and not having an ultimate skill are two completely different heroes!
Scarecrow's ultimate skill can provide a large-scale AOE that lasts for five seconds!

more importantly……

In SKT's lineup, Fizz and Elise do have burst damage, but Annie and Troll are not!
So Lin Dong’s idea is also very simple!
He tried every possible means to delay until his ultimate skill was refreshed, and at the same time, he tried to use his ultimate skill in the opposite direction against the three SKT players who were surrounding him from behind!
But the question is...how to delay now?
Looking at the top lane tower that had been destroyed by SKT, and the familiar position in the top lane, Lin Dong's eyes suddenly lit up and he had a plan in his mind.

at the same time.

In the commentary box.

Seeing that Leblanc was the first to die and Scarecrow was forced into a dead end by SKT, the colonel couldn't help but lament.

“This wave is broken!”

"Blank was in control! His E skill predicted that LeBron would turn around and move. SKT showed off this wave!"

"This is trouble. With Ahri dead, VG lost the ability to pull and harass. And it seems that SKT is not going to let Scarecrow go. If Scarecrow dies next, SKT will go for the Baron! As long as they get the Baron buff, SKT will immediately enter the operation rhythm that they are best at!"

"Now we can only rely on Dong to see if he can run away... But I feel like there's really little hope, because when Annie activates her ultimate and cooperates with Troll's W skill, the speed is too fast. He can't outrun the opponent at all!"

"Although other VG players also rushed over, and Sima Laozei's Jhin chose to use his ultimate at the maximum distance to help delay SKT, it was still useless. Scarecrow should not be able to escape, alas."

However, at this moment, Jide on the side suddenly spoke.

"Wait! Something doesn't seem right!"

"Scarecrow here...he, why did he stop?"

"What does contestant Dong want to do?"

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that the Scarecrow, who was running towards his teammates a second ago, suddenly stopped at the edge of the wall, as if waiting for SKT to approach.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded!

In the live broadcast room, many barrages appeared instantly.

"???"

"No? Why stop right here?"

"Winter God! Don't give up! Can you please do something?"

"Yeah! All the teammates are here to help, find a way to run! What if we can survive this wave?"

"Alas, five people caught one, how could he possibly get away? Dong Shen did his best in this round, but there was really nothing he could do, after all, the opponent was SKT!"

However, at this time only Lin Dong knew.

Stopping at this position does not mean giving up treatment.

On the contrary, he was making a final desperate struggle!
Because this position... was not chosen randomly by Lin Dong!

When seeing this position that year, almost all the audience, including Lin Dong, were astounded!

That's right!

This is where Faker blocks his vision!

That was the first game between SKT and KZ in the 2018 LCK Summer Split. When the top lane tower was taken out and there was no vision, KZ saw Faker's Ryze leading the line alone in the top lane, so they chose to attack from the front and back. However, they did not expect that when the top lane area map was almost completely lit up, Faker's Ryze actually disappeared from the map!

Looking at the disappearing Ryze, KZ's ADC didn't notice anything wrong. Even when he was close to Faker, he didn't see him until he turned the corner and bumped into Ryze's face!
Although this wave of rhythm was strong enough for even a player as strong as Faker, who blocked vision and dodged almost all skills while moving, he was still killed by the basic attacks of four KZ players in the end. However, the famous scene of this game taught all the spectators that when the top lane tower is pushed down and there are no enemy minions nearby, there is a blind spot in the corner of the wall near the laning area that is easily overlooked!
There is only one reason why this location was chosen.

His ultimate skill has indeed been refreshed, but if Scarecrow wants to use the jumping ultimate skill, there must be a 1.5-second guide time, which is the so-called skill pre-swing.

Once you are hit by a control skill during these 1.5 seconds, or are forced to move, such as being hit by a troll pillar, then the ultimate move will be interrupted. So Lin Dong has only one purpose for hiding here.

That is to cover up his starting action of the ultimate skill and catch SKT off guard.

at the same time.

On the other side, from the perspective of SKT members.

Looking at the scarecrow running forward, it seemed that everyone had let down their guard.

Can a scarecrow with this little blood still turn the world upside down?

Besides, Blank had calculated that although Scarecrow's ultimate skill was about to be refreshed, with the speed of everyone's pursuit, Scarecrow would not have the chance to use his ultimate skill.

After all, the nurse's E skill, his own E skill, and even the troll's E skill can interrupt Scarecrow's ultimate move.

So in Blank's eyes, the scarecrow in front of him was just a corpse.

No matter how hard you struggle, you're only stalling for time.

Watching Scarecrow escape from the jungle to the laning area, Blank shook his head subconsciously and spoke.

"The scarecrow has passed, and the rest is up to you."

However, at this moment.

Wolf's words left Blank stunned.

Wolf suddenly spoke in the voice chat.

"No? Why isn't the Scarecrow here?"

"Ah?" Blank was stunned and looked up subconsciously.

as predicted!

There was actually no sign of the scarecrow in the top lane vision.

The problem is, at this position, on the surface, the vision of the laning area seems to have been illuminated by SKT?

Could it be that... the scarecrow ran into the grass above?

Is it that fast?

In fact, this is indeed the first reaction of normal people.

For example, Bang, the ADC, immediately placed a blue trinket eye in the first bush in the top lane without waiting for Blank to remind him.

However, looking at the still empty bush on the top lane, Blank and Bang were stunned again!

Because there is no scarecrow in the grass!

The scarecrow, who had just been escaping, suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye!
It's like it evaporated into thin air!
Suddenly, several question marks sounded in SKT's voice chat, and everyone in SKT immediately began to look around.

However, this scene, seen by the audience with a God's perspective, made everyone go crazy!
"Fuck? Isn't this scarecrow here? What is SKT looking for?"

"Wait? SKT can't see the scarecrow position?"

"Damn, this is even possible?"

"Hiss! Why does this scene feel familiar to me? Have I seen it somewhere?"

While the audience was going wild, Mlxg, who was watching this scene in the commentary booth, also had a huge wave of emotions rising in his heart.

Because he had seen this kind of blocking vision method before!
That's right!

Spring season, VG vs. IG!

At that time, Lin Dong was at this position on another wall, blocking the vision and ganking the top lane!
But the difference is that this time, he didn't use the vision to gank, but to... escape!
It was at that moment that Mlxg suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, and even he himself was shocked the moment this idea popped up.

He blurted it out without any hesitation.

"No way, this time, even though we were surrounded by five people, he could control us, right?"

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

A shrill voice suddenly sounded on the screen.

fear!
After 1.5 seconds and the unremitting efforts of the five SKT players, Bang finally found the hiding place of Scarecrow with a Q skill.

But at this time, Scarecrow's ultimate skill had already entered the final stage of casting, and it was almost impossible to interrupt it.

As Scarecrow's ultimate skill slammed down, he jumped directly into the crowd. As soon as he activated his W skill, he immediately sucked the nurse.

At this time, Wolf naturally wanted to use the E skill immediately to interrupt Scarecrow's W skill and stop him from continuing to suck blood.

But the problem is... from the very beginning, Lin Dong's ideas were very clear!

That's the Fear Nurse! Silence the Troll! Ignore the Wheel Mother!

Because Scarecrow's E skill has a special splash effect, it will add a silence effect to all nearby enemies hit by the E skill.

So at the first moment, neither the nurse nor the troll had any way to interrupt the scarecrow's bloodsucking!

In addition, both Annie and Troll are mixed heroes, and their burst damage is not enough.

He was actually sucked up by the scarecrow.

Not even just sucked up!

Don’t forget, at this moment in the jungle, Sima Laozei is still holding a sniper rifle!

As the nurse entered a state of fear, her body moved uncontrollably backwards and directly into the range of Jhin's ultimate skill!
With the accurate hits of Jhin's last two bullets, Wolf's nurse died without even using her skills!

At the same time, Xiao Duan's Braum finally took advantage of the brief opportunity and finally rushed to the front battlefield.

Seeing that Lin Dong's health bar was about to reach the bottom under the siege, he didn't say anything and directly chose to flash the W skill in two stages to move closer. He raised the E skill to block all of Lulu's basic attacks and Q skills, then raised the shield and smashed it down at the two of them.

Bang was lucky enough as he immediately used his E skill to block the knock-up, but Duke on the side was not so lucky. He was knocked into the air by Braum, and before he could land, he was pinned in place by Jhin's long-range W skill.

To be honest, this is the first time Duke hates this hero so much since Jhin appeared.

Isn't it disgusting that he can cooperate with the auxiliary to control the opponent even from such a long distance!
Jhin alone is disgusting, but when combined with Braum, it's even more disgusting!

However, when he finally broke free from the restraints and used the E skill to interrupt Scarecrow's W skill, he didn't expect that as soon as the E skill was thrown out, Malzahar, who was not far away, immediately flashed over and directly suppressed the Spider who wanted to save people.

At this time, Blank was also confused.

You don't want to fight the two low-health guys in front of you, but you have to fight me, right?

But after thinking about it, he immediately understood.

Annie has the E skill and also has Mercury's Tether, so of course it's impossible to attack her!

However, although Annie has Mercury's Tether and her survivability is maximized, another problem now arises.

That is, Fizz is not there and they are being controlled. Relying solely on the damage from Annie is not enough to support SKT to win this team battle!

Even harvesting the low-health scarecrows is impossible because Braum is there!
At that moment, Blank finally realized that something was wrong and started shouting in the voice chat.

"Go! That's not enough damage! Go!"

"Our AD made a Mercury, and now the damage is not enough!"

However, chasing is easy, but escaping is difficult.

Because in this round, Holy Spear Brother positioned himself as a disgusting idiot from the very beginning of the game.

As a mixed-up top laner, do you need to deal damage?
Isn't it enough to just be disgusting?

So the first piece of equipment he got in this game was the Ice Staff. He used the lasting effect of the E skill to continuously slow down his opponent.

Soon, Spider was slowed down and eventually died in the pursuit. Because of Spider's death, Annie was infected with onychomycosis by Malzahar's E skill. Her feet immediately stopped and she was put into passive mode by Braum's Q skill.

Seeing that he really couldn't move anymore, Bang had no choice but to turn back and replace the Scarecrow, forcing a one-for-three exchange.

At this time, Faker, who was at the end of the team because he went to get the kill of Ahri, but managed to save his life by accident, was stunned when he saw his teammates suddenly died in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, his mind was filled with images of the opponent's scarecrow blocking his vision.

It was amazing to see that the scarecrow on the opposite side could actually come up with such a tricky method in this place to forcibly reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

While returning to the city, he looked at the scarecrow that was being resurrected on the panel, thinking back to half a year ago, he had never even heard of this person. He finally couldn't help but muttered.

"VG Team..."

"Who on earth is the one in their team who came up with this method of blocking vision?"

However, Faker had no idea at that moment.

The person he wanted to figure out was not someone else, but himself two years later!
