Chapter 294: This leopard woman is really fat

Why didn't they run earlier?

Mithy watched as his own jungler trapped the ROX duo in the tower, waiting to die, and felt quite surprised.

After laning against long-range supports for so long, I forgot what it feels like to be dove under tower.

Zven pointed out the crux of the problem.

Since the quarterfinals, hard supports have almost disappeared from the bottom lane, while soft supports, though strong in pressure, lack stable and timely hard crowd control, making it difficult to coordinate with the jungler for tower dives, especially when the enemy also has a long-range support—whether it's Jinx's damage or Lulu's shield, the side attempting the dive finds it extremely stressful; in this situation, the attacking side wanting to dive the tower without taking damage to kill the duo is very hard.

ROX made it from the quarterfinals to the finals, and the duo experienced being killed under tower only twice!

This led them to almost lose any guard against being tower-dived; they didn't even have the idea of retreating to the second tower to save themselves!

Only when the leopard woman appeared behind them and they saw G2's bull-headed support did they suddenly realize:

Holy shit, there's a bull-headed person!

Any thought of running is already too late.

Attack!

The Dragon King was already heading down, the Blind Monk would likely arrive even faster, but Liang Yan was counting on this time gap.

At the shot caller's command, Mithy's bull-headed champion flashed without hesitation, hit Jinx, then walked straight out.

The female sheriff followed up with a trap, the leopard woman's spear hit and then healed the bull-headed champion a bit before leaping onto him; before the WQ's landing E could be cast, the female sheriff landed a headshot and took the kill.

Even with PraY's heal activated, they couldn't be saved.

The bull-headed champion took three tower shots and left with just over a hundred health.

The kind‑looking rat king sat in the second seat on the left of ROX's player bench, glanced at his two bullets, then at the already low‑health bull‑headed champion, and finally held back.

The female sheriff still had a heal in hand.

Two shots plus Q from Jinx might kill the bull‑headed champion, but she'd die herself.

Swapping the AD for the support was clearly not worth it, so PraY turned and fled.

"G2, after killing someone, isn't greedy; the duo immediately started taking the tower!"

Liang Yan didn't help with the tower; this play was just about creating a time gap to kill them and ease the duo's lane pressure—taking the tower wasn't likely, since the Blind Monk would surely arrive soon, so he'd take whatever profit he could before then.

So Liang Yan merely chased the people a few steps toward the second tower, casually threw a spear at the Stone Armor Beetle, then jumped over it.

Xiao Huasheng's Blind Monk indeed arrived within ten seconds, but the Stone Armor Beetle's camp was completely empty— not even the leopard woman's taillight was visible—and the G2 duo quickly withdrew from under the tower.

PraY returned to under the tower, and the minion wave ahead had already been mostly cleared by the turret.

"The tower still had half its health left; we couldn't destroy it, but the female sheriff got the head!"

"Moreover, the rat king's play just now threw away over half of the CS advantage we'd built up over several minutes with the long‑range support, leaving us with no economic edge at all."

"Yeah, the bull‑headed champion will hit level six soon; after that, ROX's two squishies won't dare keep pressuring, or they'll easily get killed!"

"This G2 duo is really hiding their strength; the bull‑headed champion's double‑hook combo with the female sheriff's trap is executed with such fluency—you can tell they've practiced a lot."

"After all, they're a top‑tier European duo; maybe they're not quite as good as our LPL and LCK first‑string partners, but they definitely won't be far behind!"

Wawa got excited and started spouting nonsense.

Miller and Guan Zeyuan didn't respond.

Not as good?

They made it to the finals.

What about our top‑tier duo?

Can't say, can't say—some people explode at the mere mention of it.

After Liang Yan took out the Stone Armor Beetle, he didn't immediately recall.

He was a bit short on gold, so he went to mid lane to help Perkz push a wave, then cleared the monsters in the upper half of the jungle before recalling.

"Sure enough, I got it!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice boomed,

"At seven forty plus seconds, the tier‑three jungle knife was done, and I even got an extra pair of straw shoes!"

"No words needed—this leopard woman is really fat!"

The leopard woman came out from the lower high ground gap, threw a spear over the wall toward the Three Wolves' camp—pia! —the spear hit the lead wolf, triggering the rune greatsword's blade‑edge effect, and the two smaller wolves also took damage.

Afterward, the leopard woman transformed, ran two steps forward, leapt over the wall and pounced on the three wolves that had just left their camp, landed an EQ followed by Ignite, and the whole pack was gone.

"Clearing a monster camp in about three seconds—scary!"

"The crocodile has no blue bar and doesn't gain ability‑power bonuses, yet the blue buff ended up in his pocket……This is just too awesome!"

After clearing the entire lower half, Liang Yan entered the river and saw a newly appeared river altar.

Liang Yan knew the river crab's respawn time; he had planned to swing by for a quick bite, and also to see if the enemy bottom lane would give him another chance.

As it turned out, the river crab was already gone.

No need to overthink—the Blind Monk must be nearby, already level six, probably looking for an opening to strike.

The G2 duo bottom lane had left first and pushed the lane; there was a true ward from G2 at the river entrance, a false ward in the Triangular Grass, and the side brushes were always within G2 duo's vision—unless the Blind Monk made a big loop from the red side jungle to sneak past wards and through walls, he had no chance to catch Zven and Mithy.

So it wouldn't be bottom lane.

Liang Yan had made up his mind, turned and ran into the jungle, while also pinging the few vision‑blind spots near the river in mid lane.

Kuro's Dragon King had already hit level six around the six‑minute mark; Liang Yan glanced at Kuro's retreat‑or‑advance positioning and knew the Blind Monk was indeed camping.

In this game so far, Xiao Huasheng has only shown up top lane twice, missing both grabs; he seems a bit impatient, relying on his ultimate now to go after the crocodile.

Moreover, the enemy surely prepared full anti‑counter‑gank wards; I'd guess the entire lower river is littered with ROX vision, and possibly even the small path on the red side's mid‑right has Blind Monk wards.

So Liang Yan didn't come straight from the river; instead he looped through the jungle, exited from the gap in front of the second mid tower, arrived behind the first mid tower, and pinged Perkz:

"Lu Ka, fake it for a sec—let's burst one down first."

Perkz got fired up.

His crocodile at this point actually has flash and ultimate.

It means to sell casually.

Perkz sold very generously, facing the piled-up minion wave with a double E interleaved, then Q, then A, then Tiamat, clearing the wave cleanly in one go.

This series of actions scared Kuro, who thought the Leopard Woman had come, and instinctively stepped back when the Crocodile released the first segment of its E.

After the Crocodile cleared the minions in one combo, it walked toward the river right in front of him, seeming to intend to come over and place a ward.

Xiao Huasheng, hiding behind the Dragon King (behind the small path of the Blue Side F4 camp), glanced at the clear vision of the entire lower half of the river, saw no sign of the Leopard Woman, and the opposing Ye Qu small path was also completely empty, whereupon he suddenly became excited.

Finally, finally I caught you!
