Chapter 124: The Secret of the Fruit! This Galio is simply a city wall!
Time came to 7 minutes.
After Vi died again, the second round of jungle exchange was inevitably pushed to the upper half of the jungle.
Because Vi's jungle had been robbed of several groups by Xin Zhao, if Vi didn't go to exchange the upper half of the jungle, she definitely wouldn't reach level six by eight minutes.
That would mean she wouldn't even have the qualification to try to take the Rift Herald group!
And once it was determined that Vi was far away from the lower half of the jungle, a key number difference appeared.
Someone was going to be unlucky.
"The bot lane is finally going to be truly four-for-two!"
"For several consecutive waves, Galio and Xin Zhao have passed the bot lane three times without entering, and have already made TES's bot lane feel a bit like 'the wolf is coming'; this wave, after confirming that the jungler is really not there, they are going to take action directly!"
"Mark's Yuumi is still acting as a 'walking cat' in the back and not eating experience... But this wave, the Galio wolf is really coming!"
It is worth mentioning that TES has a special understanding of the Zeri Yuumi combination in this game.
After level three, for several waves of minion waves entering the tower in the bot lane, TES chose to deliberately let Yuumi get off the car and walk to the position behind the tower to "hide" outside the experience area.
At first, the commentary desk was still very strange, but later they understood.
This is because at eight minutes, the bot lane can generally only support one person to reach level six, and it also needs to let the support roam and empty the bot lane as a price.
And Yuumi can neither roam, and the improvement of reaching level six is not a qualitative change.
And Yuumi is different from all other heroes; there is almost no change between level five and level four, and even the problem of "more fragile" body does not exist.
The demand for experience points for this hero can be said to be the lowest among all heroes.
Of course, because the opponent's bot lane has extremely strong tower-diving ability, Yuumi dare not follow the jungler directly, so she made this "backward walking cat" approach to let the AD eat the tower minion wave alone.
The purpose is also very obvious.
Zeri with R and without R are two completely different heroes.
Its importance is almost equal to the Q skill of the explorer, which is called "QDC."
It can be said that it is an "RDC."
In the situation where the mid-jungle is already like this in the early game, TES also knows that if they don't fight, they will become more and more difficult to play, so they have to fight hard while the gap has not been widened.
"Zeri sees Galio coming out and doesn't hide at all; her eyes seem to only have minions! So desperate!"
"Yuumi directly chose to sell the AD!"
"Amumu enters the tower and throws Q to resist the tower; Zeri chooses not to hand over any skills; she died so naturally..."
Fortunately, Zeri, who had eaten several waves of "single-person lane" before, used the tower wall W plus penetration E to forcibly clear the minion pile at the last moment before death, and reached level six before death.
At this time, it was 7 and a half minutes.
"Nice, brothers! Nice!" Ye Bo suppressed the excitement in his heart, looking at Zeri's resurrection time and continuing to command in an orderly manner: "Don't be greedy, we have to go to the Rift Herald to stand in position early; this bot lane is not urgent to dismantle."
"OK, OK, stable, stable!"
"If this Zeri dies two more waves, their lineup will really be useless~"
"Should be able to eat three plating, but I feel the opponent shouldn't dare to want this Rift Herald, right?"
Zeri reached level six, and the resurrection time also came to the corresponding 16 seconds.
As long as everyone counts the 8 seconds of returning to the city, they can go out at about the same time as the opponent and will not miss the key frontal Rift Herald group.
Resurrection time came to 8 seconds,
Even if the third plating was still a few auto-attacks away, everyone still chose to return to the city under Ye Bo's reminder; this scene just made the chat shout 【Did you quit drugs?】.
8 minutes, Rift Herald refreshed.
EDG members stepped into their own jungle.
And Ye Bo, perhaps because of the approaching victory, obviously talked a lot more in this game, and kept making sounds in the voice channel.
Trying to make up for every small detail as much as possible.
"Everyone walk together, don't disperse; I'll walk in front, be careful that they have people hiding in the upper jungle."
"Brother Shengqiang, you be careful too, don't enter the river directly, bypass and gather with us first."
He spoke clearly and the instructions were clear.
Just now everyone was in the lower half of the jungle; the original intention was to kill Zeri and not let Zeri reach level six, but they didn't expect the opponent to have such an operation as a walking cat.
And the jungle of their own in the upper half lacked vision, and Kainan only had defensive vision in his own triangle grass.
However, EDG was actually not very worried about being ambushed.
After all, there was already no small equipment gap, coupled with the lineup advantage, as long as they were not caught alone, even if they met face-to-face 5v5, they would not fall behind.
TES thought so too.
Their only reliance now was Vi + Ahri's lock-on, cooperating with everyone to focus fire and kill one person to reduce the number, and then let Zeri have a chance to pull and shoot.
Otherwise, fighting a frontal group battle, no matter who Vi and Ahri open, they have to face Galio's counter-opening protection, and they can't rush in at all, nor can they exert any effect.
Instead, as long as the opponent opens a good group, it is very likely that it will explode instantly.
So... TES had a strange idea.
"This position!? TES's idea in this wave is a bit unexpected!"
"Ornn is responding below; if they can squat to someone who is scattered and walking alone, there is a chance to kill in seconds; if it really doesn't work, this will also be a very good position to bypass!"
"And even if they bump into each other, they can turn their heads and sit on the blast cone down the wall together!"
"Zeri has Yuumi's acceleration and second-speed shoes; it seems there is also a chance to catch up... E went up!"
Under the OB perspective.
Only then did they see the TES mid-jungle duo squatting in the red buff grass.
The vision at the entrance of F6 below had already seen Galio's gale exploring the way, stepping into the grass very cautiously, and turning on the scan to clear the ward.
And just at this time, Zeri with Yuumi, who arrived late, also reached below the dragon pit.
Seeing that the opponents were definitely coming from the lower passage, JackeyLove reacted quickly, E-ing over the wall, timing his arrival at the foot of the Blast Cone, and clicking it to bounce himself in the opposite direction into the brush to regroup with his teammates!
Ornn stood below the Dragon Pit to provide support; his ultimate could provide crowd control for team fights from 2200 yards away, and in a crisis, he could also use Flash to jump over the wall and join the battle.
TES was betting on whether anyone from EDG would lack discipline, with everyone walking their own way after leaving base, leaving someone alone to pass by this brush and get ambushed.
Unfortunately, no.
However, just as the casters said, this was an excellent position for a flank; even if no one from the opposing team actually came from this position, it was at least better than having a chance at a head-on team fight.
Galio, leading the charge, had already stepped into the brush outside the wall below.
Equally unfortunately, he just missed Zeri, who had the Yuumi speed boost; the opponents had already bounced into the brush ahead of time, and no vision collision occurred.
However.
Ye Bo's gaze, however, was inexplicably fixed at this moment on the "empty" ground where the Blast Cone had been.
Simply because he saw something he had only noticed after the first game.
On the ground where the Blast Cone had disappeared, on the core remains of the fruit at the center, a wisp of "smoke" was slowly rising, and at the same time, the surrounding vine animation, like a delay in the animation, had not yet dissipated.
"Wait! Sheng Qiang Ge, don't come over yet!"
Ye Bo first called out to Kainan, who was just about to come over from above by bypassing the Krug wall, and then he placed a ward below the Dragon Pit himself.
Right now, there was only an Ornn standing against the wall.
Seeing this, Ye Bo felt a slight shock behind his spine, but immediately after, it turned into a surging hot current!
"There are at least two people in this brush!"
Ye Bo's voice was incomparably firm and confident.
He could be certain that this Blast Cone had been popped within 3 seconds.
And of the three directions it could bounce toward, Kainan had just passed by above, there was only an Ornn below in the Dragon Pit who couldn't cross the wall, and the only thing left was the brush on the right.
And since they were camping in a position like this... could it possibly be just one person camping?
"Sheng Qiang Ge, use your ultimate to go in! Go in directly with your ultimate!"
"Trust me!"
Ye Bo hadn't even finished speaking.
Kainan's suddenly braked footsteps had already started moving again.
The Pikachu-like Kainan, clad in lightning armor, with absolute trust, carried 100,000 volts and charged blindly into the brush without any vision!
The four people camping in the brush were still extremely excited when they saw Kainan, thinking they had caught a key target.
But the next moment.
When they saw clearly the Slicing Maelstrom being carried in...
"F***!!! S***!!!"
TES didn't know how they had been exposed, and there was no time to think.
"Galio, Galio! Galio is below!"
Almost at the same time, a Galio charging his W had already rushed over from below.
Zeri, whose body was still numb from just cleansing the stun, was immediately taunted by the giant wings—along with the shivering Yuumi on her body, and the two teammates beside her who were still numb!
Bandages were thrown, spears were thrust, and lances were hurled.
The three people and one cat became trapped in a jar, not even having a chance to raise their hands, and rapidly became charred corpses.
"No way? This? Ah?"
"It happened again!! What happened this time!! Why!?"
"They seem to have discovered the opponent's tracks, Sheng Qiang Ge met them head-on with a perfect ultimate! Galio followed up with a suffocating crowd control chain!"
"Ahri still wanted to use her ultimate to escape, but none of them can run now!"
It wasn't just Ornn, who was preparing to Flash into the battle below, who was stunned.
Everyone outside the arena was stunned.
JackeyLove's head seemed to be covered in question marks: "Was I seen? Impossible, when I went up to that position, they had just passed the F6!"
Karsa also said hesitantly: "I swept this area and there were no wards..."
The members of TES didn't know which link had gone wrong.
But the opponent's actions clearly showed that they definitely had vision.
However, the members of EDG didn't know either; in fact, they were far more shocked than the opponents.
Because from their own perspective, they could clearly see that their own top-side jungle was still pitch black until this moment.
There was no sign of any vision.
"Master Ye, you are truly divine, how did you know that?" Barrier really couldn't understand this time.
"A little map hack doesn't count as cheating, right, haha~" Sheng Qiang Ge joked in a great mood.
"We're going to win, brothers! The opponents are completely blown up this wave!" Meiko was a bit more pragmatic and couldn't help but start to get excited.
Viper, on the other hand, thought of the key judgment made during the Fiddlesticks wave in the previous game, guessing that it should be a similar hero mechanic again?
But actually, this time it really wasn't.
In fact, this was something Ye Bo had inadvertently discovered while watching the highlights of the first game, something he hadn't noticed before.
As everyone knows.
All jungle plants have four states: {disappeared}, {about to respawn}, {exists}, and {after being broken}.
But only the "Blast Cone" is unique.
In the process of {after being broken} → {disappeared}, it still has two short but fixed existing states.
They are the "gunsmoke" effect lasting 2-3 seconds.
And the "explosion edge" vine animation lasting 5 seconds.
The reason Ye Bo noticed this was because at the time, he was watching himself step into the ambush circle of Lee Sin and Vex in the first game, thinking about how to guard against this situation.
He suddenly noticed the vine lines on the ground that hadn't disappeared yet.
Later, he opened the replay to watch it twice, only then discovering this change in the Blast Cone that he hadn't noticed before.
If he had discovered it earlier, he could have guessed that someone had popped the cone 5 seconds ago through the vine lines that hadn't disappeared on the ground in the first game, and then he naturally could have been alert and prepared.
Ye Bo silently remembered this obscure little detail.
He didn't expect to use it this wave!
The bot lane died and lost their lives, and before the Rift Herald team fight, they were inexplicably hit with a fatal zero-for-four.
Accompanied by the wail of the Rift Herald.
Within a short minute, the balance of the game, which was already tilting toward EDG, had begun to completely lose its equilibrium!
The audience was also boiling over in an instant.
"Beautiful, damn it! They are truly divine today, how on earth did they guess that!" Clearlove clenched his fists tightly and waved them in the air, only restraining himself after considering the influence of the people beside him.
Ye Bo's father stared intently at the TV screen, not forgetting to ask: "Are they going to win?"
Ye Bo's mother nodded vigorously, her face full of joy: "My son and his team are too amazing! With this situation, I feel like even I could win it!"
Although the words were slightly exaggerated.
But it was clear that even Ye Bo's mother could see how difficult this situation was for TES to play.
Kainan got fat from one wave, Kalista also enjoyed eating kills, and Zeri's Cleanse was wasted for nothing.
Returning to the lane, Amumu found an opportunity and immediately Q'd up to bloom the Curse of the Sad Mummy, easily catching and killing Zeri, who had no Cleanse, with a double R, and taking the opportunity to push down the first tower!
At the same time, Vi wanted to use the double ultimates of the top and jungle to catch Kainan.
But at the critical moment—"Hero's Entrance"!
Xin Zhao, who had walked out from behind to counter-gank, killed the straightforward top and jungle in one fell swoop.
The situation had a trend of cascading collapse in the blink of an eye.
【Karsa! Everywhere you go, people die, you just bring your teammates to feed together!】
【Oh, awesome, playing a b-tier Ahri in mid lane and can't watch Galio, and you have the nerve to talk? There's always an extra person, tell me how the jungler can play!】
【Mommy, the Xiaotian dog is still being filial, can this wave also be blamed on our Hand-Hand? He doesn't go to help his brother, he goes to help a goat, you can't tell he's already started to give up? That's how they played at the end in Iceland last year!】
【Awesome, I think we shouldn't call JKL the Ice Emperor in the future, Knight is the truly pure one! No wonder he can even break off the relationship with his friend's partner's fetus so cleanly, always non-stick, you tell me who can pin the blame on him?】
【But to be fair, Fetus-Knight is indeed strong, after all, even Riot hinted that he is the legend, and once gave him a personal theme song: "Legend Never Die"!】
【Everyone can talk, but can you tell me first where Knight is, I don't seem to be able to find this person in this game】
In fact, ever since he was solo-killed, Knight had already disappeared from TES's voice channel.
Even that ambush was just him being remote-controlled over.
Anyway, if you call me to come, then I'll come, but being proactive is impossible.
The laning phase also started the stage of not fighting back; no matter how Galio pressured the lane, Ahri only emphasized being steady, never giving any position or opportunity.
And this gave Galio infinite good roaming opportunities.
The kill comparison between the two sides was constantly being refreshed.
Until the game reached 19 minutes, the kill ratio was an exaggerated 21:3, and the gold difference was as high as 11,000!
Top Esports, this team, dies a lot in winning games... let alone in losing ones!
No one knows how to die suddenly better than them!
Even the die-hard supporters of TES had to admit that the home team's situation was gone in the face of such an exaggerated gap.
It is worth mentioning that all three kills of the whole team were Ahri's!
It couldn't be considered that Knight deliberately K-ed the kills.
It's just that this composition relies on Vi + Ahri's lock-on burst to set the rhythm, and Zeri is the target who is caught and focused to death every day, so in the end, naturally, only Ahri is left to reap.
However, when Li Li Xianghe saw a Stopwatch and an Armguard appear in Ahri's second item slot, he shook his head.
"If Ahri buys Zhonya's, this game is already over."
In Li Li Xianghe's understanding, unless there is a situation where Ahri must die, she should not buy Zhonya's for the first three items no matter what.
Especially in a losing game where you are counting on her to carry.
This is also the biggest difference in understanding between Li Li Xianghe and others regarding Ahri.
The generals of Top Esports were clearly already a bit demoralized.
They were not good at mid-to-late game operations to begin with, and the composition they chose to bet on the early game had no effect; losing two games in a row, their mentality on the edge of a cliff completely collapsed!
JackeyLove started to look for opportunities too aggressively as soon as he got anxious, but facing Galio in this game, as long as he pressured the lane too deep, it was a Justice Punch entrance.
Seeing that there was no hope for the team to win, Knight was surprisingly steady.
If it weren't for the last wave of the Baron team fight, JackeyLove anxiously shouting for Knight to Flash and keep someone...
Unfortunately, Ahri's E-Flash was a bit short, and instead, she was approached and opened up by Galio's Flash-W, almost instantly melting and being killed.
Otherwise, maybe Ahri could have maintained a positive record until the end of the game!
"It's all over! Knight E-Flashed wanting to keep Galio but was a bit short! Instead, he was opened up by Galio's Flash-W!" Guan Zeyuan's loud voice echoed heavily in the arena.
"And actually, it seems like even if he kept Galio, it would be useless!"
"He is so tanky! Really so tanky! Why is he so tanky!"
Galio's equipment clearly didn't have any tank items, just all ability power items.
But once 【Durand Shield】 was opened and Aftershock was triggered, being focused by four people in the crowd, you just couldn't see his health bar fluctuating!
Galio's max-level W skill comes with "50% magic damage reduction" and "25% physical damage reduction," and both damage reductions can add a high percentage of "ability power" bonus.
After putting on the Rabadon's Deathcap as the third item and the Gargoyle Stoneplate...
Galio, opening the Durand Shield, was almost like opening a max-level Alistar ultimate, like a chaotic demon!
"Zeri is outputting crazily with Overcharged Spark! EDG has no one with skills to keep her, but she doesn't seem to lose health when hitting Galio!"
Wang Duoduo's tone rose and fell, as if he were praying for TES's sympathy.
Zeri's passive, E-penetration, and ultimate burst are all magic damage.
In the case of insufficient equipment, hitting Galio is simply like giving the opponent a massage.
"Although she can't cut to Zeri for the time being, this Galio is simply like a city wall that TES cannot cross!"
"Ahri fell first in the Winds of War, and with only Zeri's electricity, unless the opponent's Slicing Maelstrom Kainan is a friendly unit, it is impossible to penetrate this city wall!"
TES retreated steadily, and they, who sought to finish the game with a big fire, lost even more miserably than the previous two games.
EDG, having taken the Baron, reorganized their morale and pushed onto the high ground again.
Xin Zhao went straight in alone, providing an entrance point for the Colossus of Justice.
Galio, with Hero's Entrance, fully displayed the character of a city wall, the Winds of War scattered in the crowd, spinning into a tornado of death.
While the damage was terrifying, he was also extremely difficult to kill, like an immortal demon king!
The final Justice Punch posture with Zhonya's Hourglass, a golden fist flying into the sky, hammered Zeri, who was trying to self-destruct while charging, into the sky!
It took only 24 minutes.
EDG cut down four people in a row and pushed down the enemy's main crystal in one go!
