Chapter 690

Ah?

Ha?

Whoa! Jiao Shen?! hahahaha……

Apart from LMS's commentary, other regional commentators seeing Pig Sis show a G2 sign to Faker's Rock Sparrow all burst out laughing.

In the Europe livestream room, although this match was the Asia Confrontation Tournament, many Europe viewers stayed up late to watch the livestream, and the barrage was also explosive.

【lollollollol】

【hhhhhh】

【I absolutely love this guy!】

Offline, seeing Liang Yan only makes Ka Lao Si act tsundere, but online he fiercely chases after stars, directly posting Liang Yan's game screenshot of showing off his G2 cards on Weibo.

【This is why we like him so much!】

The comment section was full of joy.

In the SKT player bench, Faker's eyes turned slightly cold. He already understood that the opposing jungler had seen his intention to quickly push the lane and return to base to buy equipment, so he deliberately came over.

Nothing else, just to block the lane and prevent Faker from feeding the lane into the tower.

If Faker insists on pushing the lane and then returning to base, because the blue side lane has been pulled into a concentrated fire formation, his round trip will lose at least an entire wave of minions, possibly more, since after Syndra returns to lane she will likely continue to control the lane, and that annoying guy will definitely keep messing around with the mid lane minions.

Unless Faker calls Xiao Huasheng again—and possibly even the support—to come help clear the lane, he is highly likely to be caught and killed by Zhu Mei before his Flash cooldown finishes.

But not even letting him go home to buy books is really too much!

How could it come to this!

Do you also agree that the outcome of a match is piled up from countless details? No, you're probably just trying to make me suffer, because Han Wanghu flashed his badge!

Otherwise, why would you flash your badge?

Faker harbored anger in his heart, canceled his plan to return to base, but did not engage Liang Yan's Zhu Mei in any entanglement, simply staying in lane to farm steadily.

He also didn't call Xiao Huasheng over for help; in this situation, the jungler has more important things to do. As the team's spiritual leader and shot-caller, Faker habitually treats jungler time as a resource to allocate, whether to himself or teammates, based on rational judgment rather than arguing with anyone.

"Wanghu, go to the bottom lane."

Faker sent a signal to the bottom lane, indicating that Xiao Huasheng, who was just heading out, should go help.

Xiao Huasheng obediently listened and walked down.

Meanwhile, Liang Yan's Zhu Mei helped block a wave of minions in mid lane, then returned to the jungle to make a round, only then finally pressing to return to base.

With two assists and a big wave of jungle monsters, this time returning home, Liang Yan saved a lot of money, directly crafting the tier‑3 jungle knife's big item, the Melted Slag, and also bought a Control Ward, still having leftover money, only lacking a little synthesis cost.

The Melted Slag, nicknamed Little Sun Flame, provides fixed health and also has a burning effect, greatly increasing Zhu Mei's tankiness and jungle clearing efficiency.

Liang Yan entered the jungle to continue clearing, while keeping an eye on all three lanes. Xiao Huasheng appeared near the bottom lane and placed wards in the grass at the river entrance and in the Triangular Grass.

In VG's vision, the area near the bottom lane river entrance fell into darkness.

Xiao Duan felt a bit nervous: "Is he targeting us?"

Liang Yan thought for a moment, his peripheral vision still watching the minimap, and replied: "Not necessarily; be careful in mid and bottom."

Easyhoon was somewhat surprised: "Me?"

Liang Yan marked the heads of Titan and Rek'Sai: "Your Flash is almost off cooldown, I might still target you."

"I understand."

Easyhoon felt a chill in his heart, after receiving Liang Yan's warning, he became even more vigilant.

Under Xiao Huasheng's protection, the SKT duo got a chance to push the lane, but instead of directly pushing the minion wave, they pushed one wave then started slow‑pushing, apparently trying to stack up minion numbers before sending them in a big wave.

As for the opponent's intention in stacking minions, there are many possibilities.

According to common sense, the biggest possibility is that the SKT duo wants to obtain a perfect recall timing, exploiting the time difference to swap lanes to the top lane, preparing for the upcoming Xia Gu Xian Feng that will respawn in two minutes.

But SKT could also, on the second level, pull a reverse play: when VG thinks they are going to lane‑swap to take the Xia Gu Xian Feng, SKT suddenly sends a mid‑jungle 4‑man dive to take down the bottom tower and grab a dragon; if successful, even if the Xia Gu Xian Feng is given to VG, SKT still gains big.

Are there any more possibilities?

Yes, the third level, which Liang Yan just considered, is that SKT further advances their timing, acting before the duo completely pushes the minion wave into the tower, taking advantage of Syndra's Flash still being on cooldown to directly have the jungle and support collude to gank mid.

Based on Liang Yan's understanding of SKT, he feels that the third‑level possibility is the highest.

But is there a fourth level?

Liang Yan thought carefully, judged that there probably wasn't, and so didn't give any further reminders.

While organizing his thoughts, Liang Yan constantly monitored the bottom lane situation.

The opposing duo had just pushed another wave; the minion clash point had completely crossed the river, leaving less than two thousand yards to the red side's bottom tower.

At this moment, Titan made a motion toward the river, looking like he was going to place a ward, to prevent VG's jungler from flanking and catching him when the minion wave is fully pushed into the tower later.

But in Liang Yan's view, this is a feint; the real intention is to gank mid!

Ding ding!

Liang Yan sent a warning signal to mid lane.

"I saw it!" Easyhoon calmly replied, but made no obvious move, merely silently raising his vigilance to the max in his heart.

However, more than ten seconds passed, and nothing happened.

Titan actually returned to the lane, appearing to have really just gone out to place a ward.

Xiao Huasheng's Rek'Sai also disappeared, likely returning to the jungle to take the second round of buffs.

Liang Yan furrowed his brows.

The third‑level judgment came to nothing; SKT made no move.

Next up is pushing the lane into the tower; what on earth is SKT trying to do?

Summoner's Rift looked calm on the surface, but the top‑level mind games surrounding this bottom‑lane minion wave were churning with undercurrents.

A new wave of minions arrived at the front line, and the SKT duo began to fast‑push.

The Boar Knight quietly came to the bottom lane, but didn't get too close, not even entering the Triangular Grass, merely standing on the wall opposite the blue side's Magic Swamp Frog camp; if Titan had indeed just gone out to lay down a wave of vision, then neither the Triangular Grass ward spot nor the jungle gap ward spot in front of the blue side's buff camp would see his corner, and for deeper areas, calculating from how long Titan had been missing from the lane, the opponent couldn't have reached that far, so Liang Yan didn't even turn on his scan, being certain that his position had no enemy wards.

Tower dive?

Or switch lanes?

Liang Yan is waiting.

Everything will soon come to light.
