Chapter 398: Damn it, bear bro!

It's just that Liang Yan doesn't like to farm Stone Armor Beetles; from the start to now he's only farmed two groups of Stone Armor Beetles. Otherwise, if we swapped the Magic Swamp Frogs he farmed for the Stone Armor Beetles, his last hits should already be ahead of Condi by over thirty, instead of only eighteen.

In this version, Stone Armor Beetles split the most; a full group of Stone Armor Beetles provides a full ten last hits, which is exaggerated. The Magic Swamp Frog gives slightly less experience and gold than a full group of Stone Armor Beetles, but only adds one last hit.

However, this period is indeed WE's strong phase; after Liang Yan cleared the jungle, Condi, who had nothing else to do, finally remembered to do something in the top lane.

Qing Gang Ying with flash, E, and ultimate is one of the hardest champions to catch in the league, but when someone comes, you still have to run.

"Condi came to the top lane, was spotted by vision, but this wave was just to chase people away; the crocodile brought the lane forward and directly demolished it. Even if Tui Ge didn't go back to buy items, the crocodile at this time is truly overpowered. Sheng Qiang Ge avoided its edge and directly hid in the secluded grass patch..."

At eleven and a half minutes, WE destroyed VG's first top tower and earned the first blood tower bounty.

"We've just been saying that Jiao Shen farms really well, but actually Tui Ge's crocodile is the fattest among these ten people; over 140 last hits by twelve minutes is exaggerated."

Not long after Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, 957, who was hiding in the Triangular Grass to recall, was interrupted by Liang Yan's blind vision void stab.

He remembered to exclaim in surprise:

"My god, Jiao Shen, can you guess that accurately even without vision?!"

Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened like copper bells: "This must be turned on!"

957 knew this wave was dangerous, used E to dash to the wall edge, intending to flash into the river to escape, but the moment flash was pressed, Qing Gang Ying, originally over two thousand yards away, used E-flash-E to appear behind him and in a flash stunned 957.

Fu Lan Duo learned Qing Gang Ying from Liang Yan; setting aside other aspects, she truly mastered the mechanics, especially the E-flash-E, which she now plays with considerable proficiency.

Of course, it's indeed quite handsome.

"What the heck! Can Qing Gang Ying fly that far?!"

"Tui Ge is caught!"

"Jiao Shen jumps right in!"

"Tui Ge hasn't finished being stunned yet, and Sheng Qiang Ge directly lands a Hextech Ultimate slam! Qing Gang Ying's level-one ultimate radius doesn't last long, but it's already enough for teammates to arrive!"

"The Marquis steps from the river and first throws a chain to bind the person, preventing escape!"

"Tui Ge knows he can't escape, so he ults and turns to counterattack! A into Red Fury, W into basic attack, A into Q, then an E plus the burning damage from his ultimate combo knocks off three-quarters of Jiao Shen's health! My god, this damage is really a bit exaggerated, considering he didn't go back to buy items!"

"But the damage from VG's three burst-haired heroes is also terrifying! Even though Tui Ge has double Doran's, armor shoes, and his ultimate to sustain health, he couldn't last long; as soon as he lifted his hand for the second E, Qing Gang Ying's second-stage Q true damage kicked and blew up his head!"

"Huh? But the kill belongs to the Marquis!"

"Huh? This... wasn't killed by Qing Gang Ying's kick? But it doesn't matter; regardless of who got the kill, Tui Ge's big crocodile has finally been punished!"

"But WE's duo has arrived in mid lane, and four people are starting to destroy towers!"

"It feels like a loss, even a deficit; VG's middle tower is about to fall!"

"WE played this game really well! Ten minutes was originally the point for VG to start their rhythm, but now it looks like WE learned it instead; WE's tower-pushing rhythm is about to take off!"

With a boom, VG's middle tower fell, and WE's team economy surged by nearly a thousand.

"Looking good! At thirteen and a half minutes, WE completed an economic comeback, gaining a lead of over a thousand!"

"VG is stalled!"

"Uh-oh, the next ten minutes are WE's strong phase; if VG doesn't hurry to hold its ground, a slip-up could cause a total collapse!"

"If WE can get the snowball rolling, it feels like they've got this game!"

At the venue, WE fans cheered like thunder!

The director's camera cut to backstage.

In the WE lounge, the moment VG's middle tower was torn down, Hong Mi jumped up excitedly, spinning around and clapping vigorously, constantly shouting 'Nice'.

On the VG lounge side, Long Ge's expression instantly tightened, his face full of seriousness, while the VG manager Gao Jun sitting behind him looked somewhat anxious, nervously shifting his butt.

The picture then switched to WE's camera feed, while simultaneously broadcasting WE's internal microphone.

"Nice!"

"Damn it, bear bro!"

"Played nicely this wave."

"Tui Ge, don't panic, we have a big advantage!"

"Ah, I'm not panicking."

"Hahaha..."

"Steady, brothers, we can win this game!"

"Go home, go home, hurry back home!"

Finally, Liang Yan's camera close-up filled the official broadcast room; there was no sign of tension, his expression bland as water.

Then the camera suddenly switched back to Summoner's Rift.

WE's duo hid under the river wall to recall, but they didn't expect a fake eye placed in the nearby river grass patch, whose edge of vision happened to catch the corner of Ben Karma's clothing.

Xiao Duan came via the small path behind F6, judged from the gradually rising sound that the duo's recall channel was nearly finished, and immediately cast Bu Long's ultimate, Glacial Fissure, at maximum range.

The on-site picture had a slight delay:

"He's about to fly, can we interrupt?!"

"Xiao Duan directly smashed the ultimate!"

"Mystic has already flown away!"

"But Ben's channel is a bit slower than his, and he got launched into the air by the Glacial Fissure!"

"The Marquis stepped from the opposite river and, at maximum range, threw a chain that successfully hit! Continue closing in to prevent the chain from being broken by flash!"

"Ben countered by applying Weakness to the Marquis, but it was a bit late; Ahri's damage had already been dealt! Karma instantly lost half a bar of health!"

"Xiao Duan applied Weakness again!"

"No one can save Ben; teammates are either still in the fountain or just left base!"

"Can't escape!"

"Not even using flash!"

"Got stunned again by Bu Long's punch!"

Marquis took down a kill with a basic attack!

This… WE's tempo is not bad, but it feels like we're always lacking a bit in the details; every time we gain an advantage we give some of it back, and although we're still ahead overall, if the lead isn't big enough we won't be able to push VG in the mid‑game.

It's really inexcusable—how could you recall to base from a position like that? And you didn't even think to clear the river brush when you came over? Oh, Karma hasn't swapped her Scan, so that's understandable, but this recall spot is definitely chosen…

We can't trade like that with VG—even though we took down two towers, our economy is fairly scattered, and feeding kills just helps VG accelerate their growth.

Yeah, if we get dragged into the late game—actually we don't even need to go that far; once they have two items, WE's lineup will start to fall off.

WE still needs to pay attention to the details; they're under a lot of offensive pressure.
