Chapter 286: Can you still play like this?!
Xiao Huasheng started to panic.
He knew exactly how serious this wave of deaths was.
But who could have expected that!
They were just fine after clearing the red, wandering around the canyon, when suddenly a gun was shoved in their face! This person has no martial virtue!
Originally he planned to eat the river crab, reach level four, then go into the male gunner's jungle to have a look; there should be a decent chance to catch a male gunner who is only level three and currently farming the blue buff.
But he never expected that they would come looking for him on their own!
From the actions of Syndra in mid lane, it was obvious that the enemy had guessed his leopard woman's position and came early to ambush.
But how did he know I would come out from there?
Did they open the map?!
Xiao Huasheng couldn't figure it out, and the string in his heart also tightened.
This person is too weird; I have to be careful……
Now the leopard woman's rhythm is broken, but fortunately it hasn't completely collapsed, because Xiao Huasheng has farmed five groups of jungle monsters and still has enough money to craft a level-two jungle knife.
As long as he can make the most crucial equipment on the first trip home, it's still salvageable.
As for the remaining eighty-plus gold……
Xiao Huasheng hesitated not, pressed the R key, turning Nidalee into beast form, and leapt out of the spring with a bound.
Before the coach stepped down, he had reminded him that when he had money, he should at least bring a true eye when going out, and not keep forgetting or being reluctant to buy wards.
But this time it's not that he didn't want to buy; it's just that he doesn't have enough money!
Although he's only short by a dozen gold, he'd also have to wait seven or eight seconds, which really drags the pace!
So Xiao Huasheng left with a clear conscience; even if the coach later investigates, he's not afraid, because he has an explanation.
Xiao Huasheng went out heading down, arrived at the lower jungle, started farming from the second group of Magic Swamp Frogs upward; as for the river crab, the second wave of jungle monsters has already begun respawning, so the first wave's river crab isn't as fragrant anymore; if he has time later we'll talk about it, if it's on the way he can have a bite, otherwise forget it.
The first small dragon had also respawned, but it was a fire drake.
Speaking of which, in this year's World Championship group stage, the whole schedule hardly saw any fire drakes, but once the competition entered the heated phase and reached the quarterfinals knockout stage, they started farming fire drakes like crazy, averaging about one and a half per game; in the semifinals, SKT vs. G2 game two even had three in a row, extremely terrifying, and Xiao Huasheng even wondered a bit if Riot had secretly tweaked the code to increase the fire drake spawn rate.
As for this one that has already respawned……
Xiao Huasheng glanced at his own duo lane, already pushed back by the wave and pressed under the tower.
No chance.
And no time!
What dragon to take? He needs to catch up on development!
Xiao Huasheng kept farming upward. The Stone Armor Beetle, due to its remote location and the long detour required, is usually ignored by junglers; in the first and second rounds it's often left uneaten, and many times it becomes a private farm for the top laner to catch up, but this game Xiao Huasheng is severely lacking in development, and he saw no chance to act in lane, so no matter how far, he had to come eat it.
After eating the Stone Armor Beetle, he greeted Jinghao brother, then Xiao Huasheng came to the river; sure enough, the river crab was gone, he couldn't see the altar's remaining time to tell when the crab was cleared, but he guessed the male gunner had probably already gone to the lower half.
Xiao Huasheng glanced at the top lane, and felt a bit disheartened again.
Although Bo Bi was being pressured, Nasus isn't a specialist bully like Jayce; although he also has long range, his zoning power is far worse, Bo Bi's condition has remained decent, and Smeb hasn't returned home to change items yet; two champions lacking hard control and with average damage, trying to dive the tower to kill Bo Bi would be almost like suicide.
No chance to catch top, Xiao Huasheng glanced again at mid lane; Syndra wasn't even in vision, after pushing the line she didn't know where she went, and Kuro had already reported a miss.
Xiao Huasheng had no choice but to hide in the Dragon Pit and recall.
And the male gunner never showed up.
And from the spectators' view, the male gunner actually did nothing in these two minutes, just kept farming.
"Something's off, Jiao Shen, this male gunner is farming a lot, right? How can his kill count be even higher than the leopard woman's!"
"Mainly because his gear is good, and these two minutes he's been farming the optimal route with maximum efficiency, so it's normal for him to farm more than the leopard woman."
"Then what use is this leopard woman?"
"Just follow along and farm."
"The key is he can't farm the enemy side, so there's no advantage, right?"
"Then there's nothing to be done; now he can't even beat the male gunner, mid lane can't move, and although Twisted Fate has hit level six, Syndra keeps pushing and pushing, Kuro really can't leave."
Time was approaching six minutes, and both mid laners hit level six first.
Twisted Fate finally got his ultimate, but because he's been constantly pushed in lane, he indeed couldn't free up his hands to do things together with the leopard woman. If he forced the ultimate to fly away, losing two waves of minions would be considered okay; the crucial thing is that the middle tower's health is worrying.
Only after a little past seven minutes did Twisted Fate finally take the chance when Syndra went home to fly a wave down the bottom lane and kill G2's support Janna.
Immediately after, the male gunner appeared in the top lane.
"No, big Nasus! Can you even dive that?!"
Smeb had already communicated with his teammates, the mid-jungle was causing trouble in the bottom lane, the top lane just pushed the wave, while simultaneously keeping his own anger in check, so when the minion wave hit the tower he happened to be almost fully furious.
And Liang Yan's choice was……
"Really going hard? Bo Bi threw a little soap over to first draw the tower's aggro, the male gunner's smoke bomb blocked vision and then he slammed into the wall with Q!"
"It kinda hurts! Nasus's health dropped to about half!"
"Smeb jumped out of the smoke bomb and unleashed a Palm of the Tathagata trying to smash the male gunner into the wall, but he quickly drew his gun and dodged!"
"Smeb flashed to dodge Bo Bi's wall bang, retreated into the tower crevice to hide, but took two shots from the male gunner and his health is already getting dangerous!"
"G2 was smart, didn't keep forcing the fight but first pulled back! Bo Bi retreated out of the tower's attack range, the male gunner also went to block the minion wave! Smeb took the chance to quickly clear the minions in front of the tower!"
"The leopard woman has already gone home and is rushing! But it feels like she won't make it in time! And Smeb's Nasus is about to shrink! What to do!
"Smeb, in a clever move, while the minion wave hadn't arrived yet, hid in the tower crevice and activated Teleport to try to fly away!
"But in this version, the Teleport channeling time lasts a full 4.5 seconds!
"Bo Bi swung his hammer like a windmill and came up, smashing Nasus into the air, not only interrupting the Teleport but also perfectly sending Smeb right in front of the male gunner who was holding the line under the tower!
"Jiao Shen, facing the big meat that Bo Bi delivered to his mouth, landed two AEA shots and took the kill!"
"Wow! This combo is too perfect!"
"Bo Bi and the male gunner can still play like this?! I've never heard of such a thing! G2's jungler and top laner are really good at pulling off crazy plays!"
In the ROX players' bench, Smeb stared at his own black‑and‑white game screen, his expression like he was constipated—let alone the commentary, even he had never seen such bizarre tower‑diving coordination.
But you have to admit, it's not only creative, it's also practical!
