Chapter 671

RNG's performance this game can only be described as everyone being reckless hotheads, each as if pumped with chicken blood, all three lanes fighting extremely fiercely, especially Xia Lu, where Y4 and Shi Senming showed extremely strong offensive desire from the moment they entered the lane.

FW duo saw the enemy fighting extremely fiercely, knowing that if they kept retreating they couldn't hold this lane, so they were forced to counterattack; as a result, Y4's policewoman repeatedly pulled them back and forth a few times, and Betty's ice archer was actually hit twice by basic attacks, one of which was a headshot!

Miller couldn't help exclaiming, "Wow, his nickname is spot on! Y4's tug-of-war this wave really has the vibe of Uzi!"

Before his words faded, Shi Senming's Titan feigned turning back, then suddenly reversed and flung his hook, directly forcing Betty to use her flash.

From that flash onward, FW's Xia Lu gradually collapsed.

During ban pick, Niu Pai said it well, the policewoman switched to crocodile; this game early game focused on top/mid/jungle, Karsa mainly helped top lane, Xia Lu early game just needed to hold up, and after reaching level six the policewoman would enter a weak phase, making things easier.

Then around six minutes in, Betty couldn't hold out any longer; he had already gone back once, but after leaving base less than two minutes later he was drained of most of his health and forced to retreat under turret, seeing the enemy slowly pushing and accumulating the minion wave, likely intending to amass a big wave to send into turret then have Titan dive tower for a strong engage on flashless Betty, forcibly trading kills to prevent him from farming.

So Betty could only call for the jungler.

But Karsa also had something to say: "I can't go, bro, the enemy jungler keeps invading my jungle—how am I supposed to go?"

Betty put on a pained expression: "Then what am I supposed to do in Xia Lu?"

Karsa stayed silent for two seconds: "It's fine, bro, just hold on; I'll come help you after I hit level six in the jungle."

Betty reluctantly accepted. In fact, FW is very much like last year's ROX and this year's VG—an absolute Wild Core team where the jungler's internal status is highest; Karsa said he needed to farm up, and nobody dared question him.

But Karsa's game wasn't easy either.

Malaxiangguo himself is a reckless jungler, and this game he was reckless to the extreme; by six or seven minutes in, he had only taken the red buff in the lower half of the jungle at the start, and after that he never entered the lower half again—he hasn't even touched the first-spawn F6 or Stone Armor Beetle!

What was Malaxiangguo doing the rest of the time?

Camping! Fasting! Invading!

In this game, even Spider Zac was banned; RNG first pick took the policewoman, FW second pick grabbed crocodile plus Chronobreak, RNG's second pick gave Malaxiangguo the Mang Seng he snatched, FW worried about being double-banned AD in the second round, so in the first ban phase they ultimately gave Xia Lu a Varus, but unexpectedly RNG banned two junglers in the second round, leaving Karsa with no decent jungler to pick, and he ended up only getting a Lion Dog.

In the current patch, Mang Seng versus Lion Dog is like father versus son; although Malaxiangguo was fasting, early-game levels and gear aren't that easy to pull apart, and besides, when Malaxiangguo camps enemies he also picks up some lane experience, so purely in the early game he actually has no real gap with Karsa.

Furthermore, Malaxiangguo this game was practically Jiao Shen possessed; even though the mid lane airplane had little advantage against Chronobreak, he always managed to slip in and invade when the mid laner neglected the jungle, and at over five minutes he contested a freshly spawned F6 in FW's jungle, grappling with Karsa for nearly a minute, and still ended up having his Smite stolen for a big monster!

Don't think it's just losing a big bird; for a Lion Dog that needs to hit level six quickly to unleash its ultimate and be effective, this actually drags the pace a lot.

Meanwhile, Mang Seng's need for his ultimate isn't as rigid, and Malaxiangguo seized exactly that, stubbornly dragging out the fight with Karsa!

Karsa couldn't win no matter how he tried; he was truly fed up with Malaxiangguo's shameless tactics, so he could only do his best to protect his own jungle, occasionally glancing at top and mid lanes, as for helping Xia Lu relieve pressure—he simply lacked the strength.

Then Betty's good days arrived.

Betty had already guessed that the RNG duo would make an aggressive move when the minion wave pushed into turret; if he played it safe, he should have gone back while the RNG duo was slow-pushing, letting support Bu Long delay the wave's arrival at turret as much as possible, so that when Betty returned to lane at full health, at most he'd miss a few frontline minions and the cannon cart, but there'd be no risk of being tower-dived for a kill trade.

But Betty also worried that the enemy would notice his recall and start fast-pushing, and at the same time he was reluctant to give up the experience from minions that died naturally during the enemy's slow-push.

After hesitating a moment, the recall window passed, and Betty couldn't go back.

As expected, the RNG duo indeed made their move.

When the minion wave entered turret, Y4 accumulated a headshot and charged forward.

Betty retreated behind the turret, but ultimately had nowhere to go, because if he wanted to farm the lane, this headshot was unavoidable.

SwordArt's Bu Long was torn, clutching his shield skill.

If Bu Long raised his shield to block, RNG hadn't truly engaged yet and could simply wait for Bu Long's shield duration to end before acting, because this was a combined wave of two minion groups, totaling over a dozen minions plus a cannon cart, which couldn't be cleared quickly.

But if Bu Long didn't raise his shield to block the shot, Betty would take this headshot, dropping his health to roughly one-third……

SwordArt was torn inside, and the policewoman's headshot basic attack had already landed.

SwordArt realized it was too late to help block, so he could only grit his teeth and let Betty absorb the headshot himself.

As a result, Titan flashed in with an E followed by a basic attack to initiate.

Betty felt something was wrong and instantly pressed heal, but Titan's ignite had already been applied, so the heal restored hardly any health.

Anyone who underestimates Titan's early-game damage will pay the price.

SwordArt raised his shield and lunged forward, sticking to Betty, but it was useless; the main damage of this wave wasn't the policewoman at all—after she landed that headshot, she immediately used a fishing net to launch herself off the tower, and now it's Shi Senming's Titan's turn to perform; the Titan's damage is all melee, so raising the shield can't block it.

A 3E A Q A W combo, before the ignition time ended, Betty fell.

Although the Titan was predictably knocked out by Bu Long inside the tower and then finished off by the defensive tower, RNG's goal had already been met.

Miller shouted excitedly: "It's over! Trading a support for an AD is naturally profitable, and besides, this big wave of minions, Betty can't even get any, the Lightning Wolves are going to lose big this wave!"

Wawa giggled: "The Lightning Wolves blew up in Xia Lu~"
