Chapter 559: Is It a Loss or Not?

Under the broadcast camera, Deft's icy archer quickly descended from the wild area gate near the blue side's F6, stood on the bank and placed a ward in the small grass patch toward the river center, while simultaneously firing a volley of arrows at the VG duo turning and walking downstream in the river.

Xiao Duan reacted extremely quickly, immediately turned back and fired an RQ, and because his position was against the wall, this Q perfectly blocked Deft's view, leaving Deft unable to react in time.

Gangzi reacted a beat slower, also turned back and threw a bouncing bomb.

With a pop, the icy archer dodged the bouncing bomb but was hit by the amplified Soul Flare; the green health bar above his head visibly shrank, losing over a hundred HP.

Deft pursed his lips, unwillingly stepped out of the Soul Flare explosion radius, and instead of continuing to tangle with the VG duo, he returned to the wild area and walked down the path behind the dragon pit.

「You're being reckless, I'll collect some interest first! 」

「Boss Duan is awesome! 」

In VG's team voice channel, Xiao Duan said proudly, then received high praise from his partner Ke Li Si Tuo in this match.

The broadcast camera followed the icy archer to the lower lane, then suddenly switched to the upper section; Score's male gunner and Pawn's Jayce hid in the left-side river grass of Zhong Lu near the red side's wild area, so much that if you only looked at the minimap you could hardly see two people standing there, because their avatars almost completely overlapped.

Meanwhile, Smeb's Rambo also hid in the central grass of the upper river lane, over a thousand yards away from the two, and was heating up, obviously controlling temperature.

The broadcast camera quietly stayed on Score, and the camera language was very clear.

At 1 minute 35 seconds, KT indeed made a move.

In the LPL livestream, Guan Zeyuan's speech speed gradually increased.

「Want to fight? Feels like it might happen! Jiao Shen was preparing to start at F6, but the wine barrel is right nearby; Marquis's Syndra is just a wall away from where KT's two are hiding, it feels less than seven hundred yards away! VG is obviously prepared! 」

「The jungle monsters spawned, they moved! 」

「KT's upper, middle, and jungle three grouped up and rushed in, but VG with vision on the slope saw their intrusion! Marquis stood in the small path, pressing forward to try to block the entrance! 」

「But Pawn is fierce! He directly switched to cannon form and accelerated to rush into Syndra's face! Marquis didn't dare to head‑on, so he could only retreat! 」

「Smeb took the opportunity to bring Score and squeeze in! 」

「Rambo, with the constant‑temperature barbecue, woke up F6! Jiao Shen didn't let him drag the jungle monsters out, and together with Sheng Qiang Ge they rushed out from the grass! 」

「Both sides were fighting over the little bird while wildly tugging at the jungle monster's aggro! 」

「Score used a final Desperate Shot to try to hit both the person and the jungle monster, but the punish was on cooldown! You and I, Jiao Shen, competing in punish—isn't that just asking for trouble?! 」

「Nice! Jiao Shen took down the big bird with one punish and leveled up to level 2!! 」

「Still dare to fight, KT?! If you don't leave, I'll make sure you have no return! Wait! Jiao Shen, after hitting level 2, learned an E and jumped right onto my mom?! 」

「Too bold, Jiao Shen!! 」

「One E stepped on both! Upon landing, a basic attack followed by Taste of Fear struck Score, triggering Thunderlord's Decree and chopping off nearly half the male gunner's health! 」

「Sheng Qiang Ge seems to have no skills and can only chase on foot! 」

「Marquis's Syndra rushed from the small path, directly applied Weakness and then Q! 」

「What?! Marquis actually brought Weakness?! 」

「Score only used flash now, it's too late! The flash was predicted by Marquis and he took a dark serve, his health instantly dropping to a sliver, and Jiao Shen snatched the kill with a claw! 」

Guan Zeyuan got excited and spoke rapidly, waving his fists:

「First blood!! 」

「Four hundred dollars!! 」

「The mantis from the 4‑1 protect composition was pocketed! 」

「Jiao Shen is about to take off!!! 」

Miller also joined in shouting:

「Nice!!! KT's guts are huge this wave! Even though the wine barrel didn't show up, they dared to invade! This is simply losing the wife and losing troops, stealing a chicken but losing the rice! 」

「Ugh……」

The factory chief hesitated a moment, then said:

「This wave was indeed played beautifully, but why is it a 4‑1 protect? 」

「Haha~」

Guan Zeyuan laughed twice,

「Just joking, VG's lineup has four APs, and only Jiao Shen is physical damage, so from a certain angle, this mantis can also be considered the core of the core. 」

「Oh……」

The factory chief came to his senses, pondered a bit, actually nodded slowly, feeling that Guan Zeyuan made sense.

After killing the mantis, VG's three chased a few steps, but ultimately due to low levels lacking crowd control and long skill cooldowns they couldn't keep anyone, so Liang Yan commanded to stop the pursuit, taking Fu Lan Duo upward, clearly heading to counter the blue buff.

Marquis then returned alone to Zhong Lu, his state healthier than Jayce's, laning without worry.

Meanwhile, Smeb's Rambo, relying on his still‑decent condition, followed behind VG's two jungle players, wanting to confirm whether the mantis would go to counter their own blue, and looking for an opportunity to harass.

The director anticipated another clash later, quickly pulled up the replay of the previous wave, but the replay had only played halfway when both sides started fighting again, so he could only cut a small window during the replay to show the real‑time battle.

Guan Zeyuan's quick mouth instantly burst out:

「Ah?! KT still hasn't learned a lesson! Smeb still dares to chase! No one's indulging you! Sheng Qiang Ge suddenly flashed back and threw a rolling wine barrel at Rambo's feet! It directly scared out Smeb's flash! 」

「Ah? Does this require flashing? 」

「It must be flashed. 」

The factory chief then explained,

「The wine barrel's Q has a slow; if he doesn't flash, the mantis will definitely jump on him; as long as he doesn't want to die, he'll eventually have to flash, and flashing later is definitely worse than flashing early. 」

「Oh, that counts as him reacting quickly! 」

「Smeb's mechanics have actually been pretty good; this wave he probably got a bit carried away, shouldn't have chased like that. 」

「Hmm, but it seems not really a loss, flash for flash. 」

「Ugh…… I think it's a bit of a loss, because Rambo is a damage dealer; he needs good development and gear to be effective, whereas just messing around with the tool‑person wine barrel and not returning to lane, I think KT is still losing a lot, because the wine barrel is useful no matter what. 」

「Oh oh, still the factory chief's details, huh. 」

After being refuted by the factory chief several times in a row, Miller felt a bit unable to step down, his smile somewhat forced.

However, the footage this time is all in Summoner's Rift, but no one knows what's going on up on the commentary desk.

Guan Zeyuan couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly gave Miller an out:

"Nonsense, our Changzhang used to be the World's No. 1 Jungler; comparing your professional level to his is like brandishing an axe before Lu Ban!"

Miller hehe-laughed and said, 'Yes, yes, yes.'

But now it's Changzhang who feels ill at ease.
