Chapter 419
Uzi got angry and yelled wildly in the player bench, his face also turned red.
If asked whether Liang Yan has any grudge, the answer is naturally negative; he certainly has no grudge or resentment toward Uzi.
But he does have a grudge against RNG.
That said, perhaps because RNG had specially studied his spider, Ming's protection of Uzi was indeed spot-on, especially regarding vision.
Liang Yan came again around the 8‑minute mark, still failing to catch anyone; instead he was counter‑ambushed by Malaxiangguo, then hit by Uzi's arrow and flashed, but fortunately Ming gave Uzi too much experience to solo, so the locust wasn't big; otherwise he might really have been done in here.
Although he came many times without catching anyone, Liang Yan's purpose was also achieved.
Ashe didn't flash, while Sima Laozei and Xiao Duan still had their ultimates; the next two minutes were VG duo's advantage, and as Tam geared up, the enemy long‑range support's edge would keep shrinking.
Although it seemed Uzi was still a bit away from truly breaking through, the VG duo had already escaped the most dangerous first ten minutes; this game Uzi could no longer make a comeback.
Next, Liang Yan could finally free up his hands to do other things.
To save time, he only ate a red buff and went straight home, heading straight for the top lane; when he entered the river from the gap in his own blue buff Ye Qu,
At the same time, Malaxiangguo entered VG's lower half Ye Qu again, discovered F6 was still there, was once again bewildered, and three life questions popped into his mind:
Where is the spider?
What is he doing?
Where is he going?
No matter what, the bottom lane is the most important; Malaxiangguo didn't hesitate, turned and ran down, but just then a horn sounded suddenly in the canyon.
I, damn!
Malaxiangguo scored a second kill, but had no recourse; he could only grit his teeth and keep running down, trying to exert some pressure to drive away VG's duo.
But by now Tam's level was up, he was tanky, had a shield to protect himself, had a consume to protect the AD, and wouldn't fear three squishies diving the tower, let alone the Marquis in mid lane had his teleport ready; the two huddled under the tower farming minions, and RNG's three jungle members didn't dare move.
On the top lane, Letme was near tears, having spent all his skills to clear the wave before the tower, yet he couldn't stop Kled's ultimate charge.
The spider also burst out from the broken wall brush.
I'll slash! I'll slash! I'll slash again!
Enraged Knight Kled waved his small short dagger, slashing again and again at the rotund Gragas, treating the turret as nothing.
Letme also understood, offered no resistance, didn't even use flash, and just stood there waiting to die.
First blood was taken by Liang Yan's spider.
Fu Lan Duo didn't know how many hits she'd taken; her mount's HP was finally depleted, the lizard beneath her let out a strange cry, flung Kled off the horse and ran.
The turret directly switched its attack target.
Moreover, Kled gains extra bravery when attacking turrets; his mount will return soon, and then he'll be a near-full-health hero again.
This combo really is, too shameless……
Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Why is Kled plus spider so strong?
Because both heroes have invulnerability plus a turret aggro-transfer mechanism, and they also have crowd control and burst, making tower dives always advantageous; as soon as they appear, they are deeply hated and despised by top lane players everywhere.
Miller also let out a sigh:
Jiao Shen's sudden variation plus feint east, strike west tactic has been used who knows how many times, but it still works every time; this really is……
All we can say is that the LPL still doesn't pay enough attention to him.
No, I think this strategy is unstoppable even if you pay more attention; they keep ganking bottom for the first ten minutes, ignoring top, then suddenly they give you a top lane visit, and a full-health, full-ability Gragas just dives in—who could have imagined? Completely untraceable!
Indeed, impossible to defend against.
How about we make a bet, guess whether he'll next give top lane a combo or keep ganking bottom?
I won't bet with you.
Come on, I bet he'll still go gank Uzi!
Then I bet he'll put Letme through boot camp……
And what about mid lane?
Mid lane has nothing to see; the Marquis keeps farming, and he indeed has no synergy with the spider; Xiaohu's Ignite is also a loss, completely useless.
That's not entirely true; it's still useful in team fights.
However, RNG's this wave is still acceptable; they got a small water dragon.
Taking advantage that the spider was in the upper half and bottom lane couldn't cross, Malaxiangguo called Xiaohu and Ming to take the first small dragon.
Uzi didn't come over to help fight; the three's firepower was more than enough. As the team's core—although Ashe isn't exactly a big core—Uzi naturally stayed bottom lane to farm, with a determination to take back the CS lead.
But is it really not a loss……
Guan Zeyuan looked at the minimap where the two hero icons overlapped in front of RNG's first tower.
VG seems to want to directly take this first blood tower!
At the moment the small dragon was slain by Smite, the director cut the camera back to top lane.
RNG's first tower had already lost more than half its health, but Letme's Gragas would still need another ten seconds to respawn, and he had no teleport.
Actually, even with teleport it couldn't be held.
Kled was about to remount soon; even if Letme teleported down, it would be a suicide.
Could Xiaohu possibly…… never mind, forget I said that.
The barrage started to complain:
【Come on, show some effect, Tiger General!】
【Only when bullying noobs and taking heads is he a general; against strong teams he instantly hides】
Exactly ten minutes in, Liang Yan and Fu Lan Duo together destroyed RNG's first tower, each earning 375 gold, while the rest of the teammates also got 100 gold bounty.
The economic gap instantly opened up by a thousand gold.
Miller inadvertently glanced at the comparison of both teams' total economics, and his eyes widened instantly.
"What?! How did VG already get a two‑thousand‑gold lead?!"
"Ah?!"
"Last hitting, the last‑hit gap is too big."
"My goodness, top lane is ahead by over thirty last hits!"
"Gui Gui, I just noticed Kled has two Doran's Blades."
Bottom lane last‑hitting is roughly even, mid lane Marquis leads by less than ten last hits, jungle last‑hitting has no significant difference, but Liang Yan has more kills, and the two‑thousand‑gold gap mostly comes from the top jungle.
RNG also realized they'd lost too much in this skirmish; after a quick tally, the five of them forcibly grouped and made a push on mid lane—though they failed to kill Marquis, they also chipped away a lot of HP from VG's middle turret.
Then RNG's five players took advantage of VG's bottom half having no vision and awkward lane shifts, suddenly moved down, and trapped the VG duo that was falling back to the second turret inside the first turret.
Liang Yan, seeing this, stopped Fu Lan Duo from using TP to save a teammate, and at the same time turned back with Marquis to push mid.
Fu Lan Duo, meanwhile, led the minion wave toward the undefended red side's top second turret.
"Both sides have entered an economic exchange mode, but it looks like RNG will profit more from this, since the middle turret is unlikely to be taken down!"
