Chapter 691: You can dodge this too?!

Liang Yan's gaze was fixed on the minimap.

The canyon was silent.

The vast majority of people watching from the god's-eye view could see no details at this moment, nor could they imagine what the two sides were scheming in this wave, but they could feel the atmosphere of an impending great battle, so countless people both on-site and behind the screens involuntarily held their breath.

"It's been over eight minutes; the canyon vanguard is about to respawn, so both sides likely need to prepare in advance." Even Guan Zeyuan's voice softened, as if afraid to disturb something.

Miller glanced at the minimap: "Xiao Huasheng has already cleared to the upper half; could we possibly go over and poke Sheng Qiang Ge's Jax?"

Guan Zeyuan simply shook his head: "You can't move him at all; with Qing Ying's and Rek'Sai's current gear, even if the two of them perfectly unleashed a full combo, they still couldn't kill him."

Chang Mao echoed: "Although Jax is positioned as a fighter, if you ignore the build path and just look at the hero's base stats, he actually has the frame of a tank."

Guan Zeyuan nodded: "Yes, Jax is actually very tough, especially his health bar—it's thicker than that of a typical tank!"

Chang Mao: "Moreover, he has Counter Strike, can leap, and has Flash; SKT relying only on the output of their top laner and jungler would find it extremely hard to catch and kill him."

Miller fell silent, muttering to himself: "Damn, I'm not just bringing this up to avoid dead air in the stream, right? I casually tossed it out, and you all fire back a bunch—shameless of me!"

After a fake cough, Miller segued with the director's camera: "Jiao Shen is still camping down here, but what exactly is he camping for this wave? If he's doing a counter‑camp, that would be a bit of a waste of time."

"He's been camping for over ten seconds already."

"Yes."

"But I believe in Jiao Shen; this player has proven countless times that he never makes a loss‑making trade. Since he's willing to spend so much time camping here, he must have a specific purpose..."

A few more seconds passed.

The canyon remained tranquil.

The SKT duo had already pushed the minion wave to the tower and began to retreat. Because VG's bottom lane had been under constant push for these tens of seconds, Xiao Duan couldn't go out to place vision, so after their own minions were all wiped out, VG quickly lost vision behind their bottom lane.

The SKT duo disappeared again.

"My Flash is ready."

Easyhoon's voice came through the headset, sounding relieved as well.

Liang Yan gave an affirmative hum, saying nothing more.

Even the anticipated 4‑2 gank didn't materialize; in mid lane, Faker continued to stay nicely on the lane, trading with Easyhoon, occasionally popping up to harass Syndra, looking like a greasy big guy hugging a KTV princess—knowing he couldn't possibly clinch it outright, yet unable to resist copping a feel here and a pinch there……

Rock Sparrow's gear is far inferior to Syndra's, and Easyhoon's laning prowess is no worse than Faker's; although he plays cautiously, that doesn't mean he only defends without retaliating. On the contrary, under a special mindset, Easyhoon reveals more aggression in this game, almost always responding to Faker's harassments, and with his item advantage he can often come out ahead in most situations.

Thus, trading damage like this surely favors Easyhoon; at this point, Faker's Rock Sparrow has only a little over half its health left, having drunk one reusable potion, while Syndra still has about two‑thirds of her health, with both charges of her reusable potion untouched.

If Faker keeps trading like this, he'll likely have to recall soon; otherwise, Syndra wouldn't even need to knock him up—just a Q followed by her ultimate could outright execute him……

Wait……

No!

Liang Yan's heart gave a sudden thump as he suddenly realized!

Would Xiang He lose his mind and engage in a loss‑making trade with Easyhoon just because I blocked his recall?

Of course not.

So Liang Yan has been on guard against an SKT jungle‑support gank on mid.

Only when Easyhoon's Flash came off cooldown did this vigilance begin to relax.

Relaxed……

This is the biggest problem!

Having Flash means you can't be caught?

No! For a contest at this level, the exact moment Flash finishes its cooldown is actually the best time to catch someone—because people subconsciously let their guard down!

Ding ding ding!

For the first time since his debut, Liang Yan's hand moved faster than his brain; upon sensing a possibility, he instantly issued a warning to mid lane without hesitation!

"The enemy is coming for you!"

"What?!"

Just as Liang Yan had anticipated, Easyhoon, whose mind had just relaxed, felt his heart jolt tight the moment he heard Liang Yan's warning!

And the very moment Liang Yan issued the warning, a Void Burrowing Beast burst from the shadow of a side path behind the red team's F6 camp on the left side of mid lane!

At the instant it emerged, Rek'Sai turned into a blob of yellow light and vanished from its spot!

"Peanut flashes and strikes!!"

Easyhoon's adrenaline surged instantly, his index finger slamming the D key like lightning!

Whoosh!!

"Dodged!!"

"My goodness, Easyhoon!!"

"You can dodge that too?!!"

"But it's not over yet!!"

Having just dodged Rek'Sai's flash‑strike, a heavy figure clad in rust‑streaked steel armor lunged up from beneath the river wall in another direction, the clanking of chains ringing out as a massive iron anchor, carrying tremendous force, shot swiftly toward Syndra, who had just expended her Flash!

"Damn!!"

Even the usually refined and scholarly Easyhoon was startled into blurting out a curse, but thanks to Liang Yan's warning giving him some mental preparation, at this moment Easyhoon felt he had surpassed his own lifelong limits, furiously clicking his mouse!

Click click click click!!

Time seemed to stretch at this moment, the footage like eight‑times slow motion, Syndra turning inch by inch, moving……

Whoosh——

The massive iron anchor capable of crushing a person into paste ultimately grazed past Syndra!

"Dodged!!"

"Marquis!!"

"After flashing to dodge Rek'Sai's flash‑strike, he still managed, purely by reaction and positioning, to evade Titan's sudden hook!!"

"Who said older players have no skill!! Marquis in this match showed operational skill that is absolutely world-class top-tier mid laner, it's as if Jiao Shen possessed him!!"

Boom!

The scene instantly erupted with a shout like mountains moving and seas overturning!

The three LMS commentators also screamed wildly on the commentary platform, extremely excited!

And in the LPL live broadcast room, a massive barrage of comments surged forward!

【Marquis is awesome (voice cracking)!!!】

【I declare, Marquis is the Zhong Lu god!】

【Digging grass, let old man see wet!】

【Little universe explodes!】

【Is this the showdown of top-tier experts? Indeed exciting!】

【Is Marquis really in his twenties? This reaction speed is too exaggerated!】

【Feeling when facing Faker, Marquis completely changed……】
