Chapter 117: You call this a minor disadvantage?
UOL can't take it anymore; they finally called over Exileh's Karma! The timing is perfect—Malzahar just came out of base and needs to clear the minion wave first!
But Firrrrrre's spider also came!
At that moment, on the bottom lane side where the camera wasn't paying attention, Bu Long was again forced to flash by G2's duo.
Exileh has arrived! Vizicsacsi directly E-flashed up! The taunt landed!
Move hurriedly dug a hole to follow up! He tried to push forward again... but didn't manage! Firrrrrre, hiding in the grass behind Island, landed a single 【Cocoon】 that snared Move as he just emerged from the hole!!
This 【Cocoon】 is crucial!!
Exileh's Karma hurriedly flashed over to shield Vizicsacsi! She barely saved Vizicsacsi's life!
Island didn't pursue; Vizicsacsi, still holding a sword formation, deemed it too risky to chase, so he E-dodged Exileh's 【Soul Flame】 while trading blows and retreating. Move was slowed and couldn't keep up, so he had to knock back the nearest Firrrrrre!
But Exileh's only damage ability has already been used; relying on Move alone isn't enough to kill Firrrrrre!
Moreover, Perkz has arrived! Goodness, he came fast!
He came sprinting from mid lane! He immediately used 【Death's Grasp】 to grab the Exileh nearest the river!
Seeing the situation turn bad, Move ate a cannon minion with Smite and hurriedly ran!
Firrrrrre turned and lunged forward!
Island also turned back!
Lao Zhang just walked up, swung his Q in a circle, and easily took the kill.
Damn! Exileh came to support, but didn't expect to not get the kill—instead he blew his flash and still died! How awful!
This feels off—why do I feel like UOL is starting to show signs of collapsing again?
Uh, isn't it already collapsed?
Quickshot, who hadn't spoken in a while, immediately interjected:
The situation isn't yet a collapse; it's just a slight disadvantage, less than two thousand gold difference.
Sjokz and Deficio exchanged a glance.
At just over six minutes, they're apart by over a thousand gold—do you call this a minor disadvantage?
Moreover, setting aside the gold difference, how is he going to play top lane from now on?
The crocodile got two kills at six minutes, clearly poised to take off. Although the crocodile is off‑meta in this patch, if he gets fed early he becomes an invincible prehistoric crocodile by mid‑game—in fact he already feels a bit invincible now.
With such a crocodile, how is UOL—whose mid‑game fighting ability is inherently weak—supposed to deal with it?!
If they can't handle it, it feels like UOL is just waiting to die.
The two casters feared Quickshot would lose face, so they didn't speak their minds.
Actually Quickshot isn't clueless about the situation; he's just being stubborn.
"Island still hasn't gone home, someone pinged, and he even wants to invade UOL's jungle—Move just happened to be fighting the Magic Swamp Frog, and he doesn't have Smite!"
After receiving Liang Yan's signal, Lao Zhang pushed the lane, walked past the turret, entered UOL's jungle via the Triangular Grass, followed the small path, and indeed saw Rek'Sai battling the Magic Swamp Frog.
The Magic Swamp Frog was at about half health; Lao Zhang dashed forward with his E to scare Rek'Sai away, then unleashed an AWQE combo that instantly killed the Magic Swamp Frog.
He pocketed 89 gold.
Lao Zhang listened to the clinking of coins dropping into his purse, feeling pleased:
"Ah, so relaxing!"
"Relaxing, right?"
Liang Yan said with a smile, then pinged the Three Wolves Camp,
"Go eat those three wolves too."
Lao Zhang stared, stunned:
"Huh? This… isn't appropriate, is it?"
"Why not appropriate? It's roughly the bounty for a minion wave—doesn't that smell good?"
"Holy shit, we have to eat it!"
So Lao Zhang followed the Rek'Sai who was darting through holes, drove him back to mid lane, then turned and attacked the three wolves.
At that moment, Exileh's Karma had just respawned and walked down from high ground.
The three wolves were clearly unsalvageable; Move, out of the corner of his eye, saw Malzahar already pushing a minion wave to the tower. In a fit of rage, he pretended Exileh couldn't get there to help with the wave, then turned and ran toward the first mid tower.
Exileh had already arrived at the second tower, watching Rek'Sai unleash a flurry of Q's that devoured an entire wave of minions, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Dude, I went top to support, got nothing and died once already—bad enough—why are you messing with me?"
"Is what you're doing appropriate?!"
"Can jungle assistance just do whatever it wants?!"
Exileh was so angry his lungs felt like they'd explode; seeing Rek'Sai finish the tower minions, dig a hole, and run off to fight F4, Exileh stood by the turret for a moment, waited until Rek'Sai swept the little birds down to low health, then stepped close and unleashed an RQ on the wounded birds.
The big bird almost got away, but the three little birds were eaten cleanly.
Move froze for a second, then cursed in his head, 'Damn it…'
Ultimately, feeling guilty as a thief, he didn't dare say anything.
Meanwhile, after eating the three wolves, Lao Zhang headed back, originally planning to also take the river crab, but seeing Shen already back in lane, he gave up the idea and simply returned to lane.
When that top‑lane wave ended, Liang Yan helped push the lane, then recalled to base, headed out from bottom to top, and by now had cleared to F4.
On the bottom lane, the Jinx‑Brand combo easily handles the big mouth plus Bu Long—no need for Liang Yan to manage it. Moreover, while this duo can pressure opponents, it doesn't synergize well with spider ganks, so Liang Yan also had no intention to dive down; he just placed a ward in the river and let the bottom lane play on its own.
After clearing the red buff, Liang Yan checked AP's ultimate cooldown—about twenty seconds until it refreshed—so he came to mid lane, swept to clear the ward in the brush, then first took the upper river crab, turned back toward mid, and walked straight out of the grass toward Karma's face.
AP's ultimate just came off cooldown; he flashed forward and directly sucked her in.
Exileh only had time to shield himself, still trapped in Malzahar's ultimate, when the spider pounced and bit him to death.
The director gave Karma's corpse a close‑up.
On the analyst desk, silence fell for two seconds, and Deficio couldn't help but utter softly:
Come and you have it, this is also too easy.
Spider teamed with a stable-control online hero works like this; as long as there's no low-level mistake like failing to connect control, the early game is basically a one-combo instant kill.
But looking at it, it feels like the mid-game is also a one-combo instant kill.
The enemy being underdeveloped is like this.
Next round of UOL, should we ban Spider? Firrrrrre is playing too fiercely.
Indeed, but it feels like there's no difference.
Indeed, no difference.
