Chapter 292: I'm impressed!

The audience clapped their cheer sticks with a pattering sound, and the live commentator's voice was loud and high-pitched:

"Is it G2 charging forward, scoring two points in a row to take an unbeatable lead, or ROX pulling one back to keep the suspense? We're witnessing it together!"

"The 2016 League of Legends World Championship, Game 2!"

"The battle has begun!"

The lineups for this game are as follows:

ROX, blue side

bans: Vi, Karma, Ryze

top lane: Smeb, Ekko

jungle: Peanut, Mang Seng

mid lane: Kuro, Dragon King

ADC: PraY, Jinx

support: GorillA, Thresh

G2, red side

bans: Syndra, Ashe, Jayce

top lane: Island, Kennen

jungle: Firrrrrre, Leopard Woman

mid lane: Perkz, Crocodile

ADC: Zven, Police Woman

support: Mithy, Bull Head

The opening camera locked onto the Leopard Woman.

The classic jungle trap scene from the canyon reappeared: the red side Leopard Woman headed straight to mid lane at the start, placing the first trap at the F4 camp, then shifting position to place the second, third……

Liang Yan made some adjustments in the details, such as the placement and timing of wards, to prevent ROX from having studied and countered it, but the placement of the traps was exactly the same.

Most of the live audience were Westerners, who had basically seen the video of Liang Yan setting traps at the start in the EU finals against SPY; many Leopard Woman players had even watched it repeatedly, studied it seriously, and were naturally extremely familiar with it.

At this moment, that familiar scene played out again, and the audience erupted.

But in other regions, few had seen that video; LPL viewers hardly knew about it, even though Guan Zeyuan had mentioned it in the previous match, pointing out that Liang Yan's Leopard Woman opening was different, the audience still had little impression.

For them, today this scene was the first time they'd seen it.

They were instantly amazed.

Can a Leopard Woman who learns W at the start be played?

They soon found out.

G2's top laner was Kennen, who had little synergy with the Leopard Woman; before Kennen reached level six, even with a good opportunity, it was hard to catch the slippery Ekko. However, Kennen's lane against Ekko was relatively comfortable, with no pressure whether pushing or freezing the lane, so Liang Yan had Lao Zhang help him start his jungle.

1:40, the Leopard Woman and Kennen began attacking the Stone Armor Beetles.

1:48, Kennen left, the Leopard Woman turned into human form, finishing up while walking toward the red buff.

1:52, after killing two Stone Armor Beetles the Leopard Woman reached level 2, instantly learned Q, and threw a skill shot at the red buff.

2:13, the Leopard Woman cleared the red buff.

2:26, the Leopard Woman cleared F4 and reached level 3.

The camera left the Leopard Woman and switched to Xiao Huasheng's Mang Seng.

Since Mang Seng had skipped the blue buff, he was still on his way to F4 and hadn't started clearing the third camp yet.

The jungle monsters hadn't even respawned for a full minute, yet the Leopard Woman had already opened a gap of one whole camp!

"What kind of efficiency is this? It's too terrifying!"

Miller shouted in shock.

Then something even more terrifying came.

After clearing F4, the Leopard Woman headed straight for the river, coming toward mid lane.

At that moment, the third wave of minions in mid lane—the first cannon wave—had just crossed the second turret, and would take about ten more seconds to reach the front line.

And on this side of mid lane, even the Dragon King, famed for fast early wave clear, hadn't finished clearing the second wave yet.

That is to say, the two mid laners had just reached level 2.

Perkz's Crocodile was of course the side being pushed, but had also reached level 2.

And Kuro's Dragon King had already positioned himself past the river midline, because he had been clearing waves nonstop from the top lane, intending to finish clearing the wave and then invade the Leopard Woman's jungle with the Mang Seng who had cleared three camps, to steal the blue buff, and even flip the entire bottom half.

The third wave, being a cannon wave, could hold out for a long time.

Kuro planned to sacrifice some of his own development to suppress the Leopard Woman, strictly following the coach's tactical plan.

For this purpose, he didn't even place a ward.

And in Perkz's mind, he had been looking forward to this moment for dozens of days, having rehearsed it hundreds of times in his heart, guaranteeing there would be no coordination problems.

Before the Leopard Woman even entered the brush, Perkz began acting, pretending to accidentally step into the outer range of the Crocodile's passive Starfall when last-hitting; by the time he tried to pull back, it was too late, so he just went with it and charged in.

This action was actually enough to make Kuro wary.

But the timing was simply too early.

The second wave wasn't even cleared yet—who could have imagined someone would gank mid at level 2?

Oh no, the jungler was already level 3.

No, no, it was the Leopard Woman who was level 3; Mang Seng hadn't even killed the big bird yet.

2:31, the Leopard Woman entered the left-side river brush in mid lane.

At the same time, the Crocodile used Flash.

"Perkz just went in!"

「Flash, a mouth of red anger W bites the defenseless Kuro! 」

「Leopard Woman appears from the river lane! 」

「Crocodile's W-A-Q combo instantly drains nearly half of Dragon King's health! 」

「Leopard Woman took two steps, pounced with WEQ, directly slaying Dragon King! 」

「Two and a half minutes!!! 」

「First blood has appeared!!! 」

Guan Zeyuan roared like a madman,

「Jiao Shen!!! 」

「Is this your understanding of the Leopard Woman?! 」

「I'm impressed!!! 」

The on-site audience simultaneously burst out a huge gasp.

In the live stream, the barrage exploded, "fuck" filling the screen.

However, there's actually something Guan Zeyuan got wrong; the combo Leopard Woman just used should be WQE, not WEQ.

Although Leopard Woman's highest damage combo is WEQ, many Leopard Woman players also use this combo sequence, but the WEQ combo time is slightly longer than WQE, because WQE's Q can be pressed directly during the W jump.

As long as the damage is sufficient, WQE's burst comes faster than WEQ.

Actually, when Liang Yan finished his Q, Dragon King only had a thin layer of health left; even without adding the final E, he would have been killed by the red buff.

But Liang Yan still added an E, not because he feared an accident, but due to some external factors, such as psychological tactics, such as showing off.

Instant kill versus being slowly burned by the red buff, the visual impact differs greatly; the former obviously gives greater pressure and provides a more exciting viewing experience for the audience, while Liang Yan needs to pay no cost, which can be said to be a very worthwhile deal.

The on-site commentator shouted wildly.

After the audience gasped, they then cheered, the support sticks almost about to be smashed.

Meanwhile, the ROX team's headsets instantly fell into silence.

Just a moment ago, they were still discussing the details of the upcoming invasion of Leopard Woman's jungle; Xiao Huasheng had even begun fantasizing about turning G2's jungle into his own pig farm, making Leopard Woman unable to care for herself, a scene of ruthless revenge.

The next moment, Leopard Woman's spear fiercely pierced Kuro's Dragon King, shattering Xiao Huasheng's dream fantasy, and at the same time, like a sharp spike, ruthlessly pierced the hearts of the ROX team.
