Chapter 146: Looking back and flying to level the decline

Canyon, who went out again, doesn't know the miserable state of his top jungle.

Actually, this "self-mutilating" way of brushing the jungle is quite common in rank games, and can even be said to be a necessary way to go out!

But almost no one uses it on the professional stage!

The reason is also very simple, because the economy in the Summoner's Rift is limited.

The economy that is not enough to divide often needs to sacrifice part of a lane and the jungle to share, in order to ensure the development of the core carry.

So this common operation in rank games, many times, not only messes with the opponent, but is more likely to mess with oneself.

But this is DK.

DK's jungler Canyon is the most important rhythm point of the team. If the two junglers really self-explode together, the one who is uncomfortable must be them.

But clearly, Canyon's ideas are not so easy to grasp.

"Canyon didn't go to the bot jungle and headed to the top!"

"In the case of knowing that the top jungle has a very high probability of having fallen, Lee Sin resolutely headed to the top, and Flandre doesn't seem to be prepared for this!"

"He also played a reverse idea!"

If you follow the normal person's ideas, the next step should be to return to the city and head to his own bot blue area that is about to refresh, and then head to the enemy's bot red area to perform a jungle reset.

But that way, Canyon would completely step into EDG's design!

After all, the jungle monsters in the bot lane were just cleared, which is the first wave of jungle monsters that refreshed last, and the distance to rebirth is still ten thousand miles away!

If Canyon really comes to wait for the jungle reset, he will truly fall into a situation where there is no jungle to brush.

Lee Sin's movements in the next 3 minutes will also be completely grasped by EDG, DK's rhythm in the early stage will turn into a pool of stagnant water, and it will also make his development greatly damaged!

EDG just wants to defend the small dragon. With DK's bot-lane Aphelios + Lulu combination

However, despite Ye Bo having a good grasp of Canyon's jungle habits through extensive research and analysis.

He was, after all, a mid-laner.

His understanding of the jungle could not truly surpass that of his opponent.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Canyon understood the opponent's goal regarding the jungle planning, and quickly anticipated his own predicament.

Although he did not know the specific respawn times in the bottom quadrant.

He knew clearly that the most important core for a tempo-based jungler—is that one must never let the opponent discover one's whereabouts!

Therefore, he would rather risk the possibility that both sides of the top quadrant were completely empty than fail to change his route.

"Brother Shengqiang Ge hasn't noticed the Lee Sin's position!"

"Since Brother Shengqiang Ge also assumed the opposing jungler should be in the bottom quadrant, even though this is a vision vacuum phase, he hasn't remained vigilant!"

Ornn's position was a bit too far forward, and he was preparing to recall after finishing the wave.

As a jungler, Canyon had his own insights into ganking these side-lane heroes.

Take Ornn, for example.

Due to the unique skill mechanic of 【Living Forge】.

Generally, before the five-minute mark when neither top laner has recalled, Ornn can be the first to forge five or six hundred gold worth of items to establish an equipment advantage, exert some pressure, and get in the opponent's face.

And this moment is usually the jungler's opportunity!

The two sides traded health, with the freeze and brittle effects being knocked out against each other.

Lee Sin had already walked over from behind the river, landed a confident long-range Sonic Wave, flew in for a point-blank kick, and then followed up with Tempest to chase and attack with the whip!

Brother Shengqiang Ge turned back to E, running headlong toward the tower, wanting to save his Flash.

After all, Ornn had bought items, so he clearly held the advantage in tankiness and should have a chance to walk into the tower safely.

But after Ye Bo noticed the changes on the minimap, he switched screens to check.

When he saw Lee Sin still relentlessly chasing the Ornn, who had no chance of being killed, he quickly issued a warning.

"Brother Shengqiang Ge has to burn Flash!"

"Barrier, his blue quadrant!"

The bystander sees clearly; although it looked like Ornn could hold out until the tower, Lee Sin had also bought items, and Ornn's health would inevitably be reduced to a critical state.

And their own jungler had already recalled and was not nearby—the opponent was very likely to attempt a tower dive!

Upon hearing this, Brother Shengqiang Ge immediately burned Flash.

Canyon's expression was one of shock.

Because it was obvious that Ornn, having bought items early, would not die in this exchange, and most people would choose to save Flash.

Canyon had intended to dive the tower!

Sejuani and Lee Sin were both skill-based heroes, and their early-game damage was quite substantial; Sejuani's percentage-based damage from her freezing mechanic was not even lower than Lee Sin's!

He had even constructed the play in his mind.

As long as Ornn was brought down to one-third health, Lee Sin would directly ward-hop into the tower, and at most, he would only need to tank one tower shot to seal off Ornn's escape route.

Canyon, who had come with a counter-intuitive tempo shift, was certain that there was no reason for Maokai to be in the top lane!

But he hadn't expected the opponent to be this steady.

This made things a bit awkward.

One had to know that Lee Sin's tempo shift this time was not without a cost, and the cost was not small!

His own bottom jungle had respawned, and without needing to think, he knew Maokai would definitely go to counter-jungle!

If he couldn't kill Ornn and only forced out two summoner spells, Ornn could TP back and wouldn't lose much in terms of waves.

Instead, Lee Sin would be the one to lose out completely!

Ye Bo had sensed the "killing intent" hidden in Canyon's relentless pursuit, so he decisively warned Brother Shengqiang Ge to burn Flash and run, not giving them a chance.

But at this moment, Canyon's decisiveness was on display.

"I must dive this Xia Quan; you might need to help me trade for a kill!"

"Okay." The tacit understanding between old comrades Nuguri and him needed no words.

Lee Sin feigned a retreat toward the river, but instead ward-hopped over the wall from the river, directly circling behind Ornn.

Brother Shengqiang Ge hadn't noticed and was preparing to recall.

But just as the recall timer was about to end, a Sonic Wave was fired from behind to interrupt it!

"They... want to force a dive on me!" Brother Shengqiang Ge's hoarse voice came through.

Seeing that Sejuani had already brought the minion wave into the tower and there was no chance to escape, Ornn could only buy a 300-gold Cloth Armor under the tower.

Ye Bo switched screens to observe again.

He also hadn't expected the opposing top and jungle to still want to dive under these circumstances.

One had to know that this tower dive was clearly very dangerous; even if they actually got the kill, it would be a 1-for-1 at best.

However, this was indeed the opponent's only chance to break the deadlock.

"Sejuani initiates with crowd control! Ornn uses W precisely to block, wanting to become unstoppable, but the stun effect still takes effect!"

Ornn's W unstoppable duration is only 0.75 seconds, and there is no "crowd control cancellation" mechanism—it retains the crowd control received after the unstoppable effect ends.

Sejuani's E skill applied the freeze control and triggered the shatter, and only then did Lee Sin land the Sonic Wave.

Avoiding all possibilities of error.

"Ornn knocks up both of them at the limit to apply Brittle, so Sejuani cannot walk out of the defensive tower, but Lee Sin still kills Ornn first, taking First Blood!"

"The minion wave was also successfully pushed; nice! Our DK's legendary top-jungle duo Canyon and Nuguri have completed an unexpected breakthrough!"

"However, EDG's Maokai has circled out from behind the mid lane! Flash-W bind, fortunately ShowMaker reacted in time! He used both W and Flash to pull Maokai away from Azir; swapping Flashes, there is no danger!"

The LCK commentary desk, which had been dull for a long time, suddenly cheered and shouted.

Although the mid lane was also counter-ganked by Maokai, resulting in a Flash swap.

But at least looking at it this way, it seemed DK had opened up the situation first.

【Worthy of being the backbone of the Big Turtle! This is Canyon!】

【Question: He is the backbone of the turtle, then who is the head of the turtle?】

【Although the Fourth Uncle has the guidance of the Zhuge of the world to peek at the secrets of heaven, the Third Uncle is still your Third Uncle!】

【Laughing to death, popping champagne just for getting First Blood? Do you want to see what your jungle has become!】

【Heh, if EDG wasn't full of little burn-men, you try again!】

Some people in the live stream who couldn't see the situation clearly had already started celebrating prematurely.

But Canyon was not so optimistic.

Because Ornn had TP, he couldn't eat too much of this wave, otherwise Sejuani, who helped him trade for the kill, would lose a huge amount of experience and even fall behind.

He could only turn and enter the opponent's top quadrant to forage.

The result was naturally empty.

Canyon still couldn't figure it out even now, and unwilling to give up, he continued toward the Wolves to get to the bottom of it.

A Sonic Wave flew out and hit a wolf body!

"Sure enough, the top quadrant hasn't been cleared!"

Just as Canyon felt a surge of joy, the Resonating Strike flew out and landed, revealing only two lonely little wolves!

There was no big wolf at home, only two children.

Canyon's head buzzed.

"Wait a minute, if this is the case..."

After killing the small wolves, Canyon didn't continue to try to transfer to the bottom quadrant to continue the game, but instead rushed back to his own red quadrant without stopping.

The hypothesis was confirmed.

His own Raptors and Krugs were all left with only one small monster!

"Shibal! How can this person play the game like this!"

The respawn time for regular jungle monsters is a 2-minute and 15-second cycle.

But that premise is that all monsters in a camp must be cleared before the timer starts!

Just like the small wolf that was just cleared; if following the normal process, it should be exactly time for the second wave to respawn near 5 minutes—but at this moment, the timer had only just begun!

And there's no need to think about the bottom quadrant that was just counter-jungled; it must be the same!

It likely even extended to EDG's bottom red quadrant.

This meant that, inexplicably, an entire round of jungle economy had disappeared from the map!

And if no one clears the jungle camp, for every second it's dragged out, the jungle economy will respawn one second later.

If dragged for a full 2 minutes, it's equivalent to two sets of jungle monsters disappearing for no reason!

Without a doubt, this is an operation that is absolutely "harming others without benefiting oneself."

Lee Sin has no food to eat, and Maokai has no food to eat.

But Canyon had to deal with it!

There was no other reason, only because neither Canyon nor Lee Sin could accept a jungle without economy, nor could they accept their development being forcibly stalled.

But relatively speaking, Barrier and Maokai could!

The next few minutes.

Under the god's-eye view, Lee Sin began the work of "scrubbing the jungle," constantly clearing the remains of monsters all over the map, especially in his own two jungle quadrants.

But in this way, Lee Sin's position was almost no different from being transparent.

"Barrier's Maokai is so spiritual," Guan Zeyuan discovered the clue.

"I don't know if everyone has noticed, but Barrier almost never uses the E skill to clear the jungle; he almost always uses it to place them at key jungle entrances or in the brush!"

"It's because of this that Lee Sin's movements have been clearly grasped! This is simply playing out the true essence of Maokai!"

The version where Maokai is buffed gives the Q skill double bonus damage to monsters, so clearing the jungle doesn't rely on the E skill at all.

And the reason why Maokai can leap to become a strong jungle choice in this version, besides stable ganking ability and powerful team-fighting efficiency.

At least in Ye Bo's understanding—the core is the E skill.

A casting distance of up to 1100 yards is equivalent to being able to place a ward that lasts for 30 seconds from a great distance, without anyone knowing!

Make good use of this point.

You can obtain considerable "vision information"!

And "vision information" is the core of operations and gamesmanship.

Just take the fact that until 8 minutes ago, even though Lee Sin, who had no jungle to clear, repeatedly wanted to move with LeBlanc, the two sides still hadn't broken out into a fight, which shows this.

DK, whose vision information had been invaded, simply couldn't find an opportunity!

Maokai made precise counter-ganks in advance every time.

There was also a big hidden danger.

Due to the limited development in the jungle, DK dared not start the Dragon for a long time!

Lee Sin and Maokai didn't reach level six until around 7 minutes.

Although DK's mid-jungle was stronger than EDG's mid-jungle, at least before level six, the bottom lane was absolutely evenly matched!

Without an initiative advantage, a 4v4 couldn't possibly take the buffed Dragon naked.

"EDG's BP in this game is too good..." Beryl, who had been playing on his phone while watching the game, had already put his phone away.

"How so?" Deft asked curiously upon hearing his old team's name.

"I don't know how they discovered that Xia Quan doesn't seem to know how to play Aatrox; even I didn't notice this... but they specifically gave Aphelios to the opponent in the second round; there must be a premeditated plan!"

Beryl began to talk freely.

"Seizing the problem that the hero Aphelios is too weak in the early game and must be paired with a {protective} soft support, DK has been unable to launch a bottom lane tempo, and even the jungle can only be passively defended..."

"Banning Lucian to break the Lucian-Nami combo in the second round, banning Renata to pair with Draven and Kalista, the bottom lane no longer has a strong combination..."

"Anyway, this hero has some problems, let's not play it anymore."

Beryl's guess was very accurate.

Aphelios, which is still the hero with the highest pick rate in the S12 tournament so far, is a trap in Ye Bo's view.

And in fact, the several teams that have already been eliminated in the quarterfinals are all avid users of this hero.

Time approached 8 minutes.

"Neither side chose to let the bottom lane participate in the Rift Herald fight; the top, mid, and jungle have already gathered!"

"The tempo of this match is a bit slow; until 8 minutes, the first Dragon hasn't been taken, and besides that attack in the top lane, DK hasn't been able to complete another raid... and for EDG, this is undoubtedly a huge piece of good news!"

"Whether DK can pull up the tempo of the game, this Rift Herald fight is the crucial turning point!"

EDG possesses Ornn, who can forge items, plus Azir, the absolute number one late-game carry in the current version, and Yuumi as an amplifier.

Once it reaches the mid-to-late game, it will definitely be a one-sided situation.

DK is also very clear about this point.

This Herald is the most important offensive round.

Neither side's bottom lane had reached level six, and seeing that the opponent had no intention of recalling, they simply didn't go to participate in the battle.

It seemed that both sides felt their own top-mid-jungle 3v3 could win.

"We shouldn't be in a hurry this time, just play around me, don't let them have a chance to engage on me!"

"If they are in a hurry to start the Herald, I can poke them wildly on that Herald pit terrain... Hey Barrier, don't!"

Ye Bo was conducting pre-battle deployment; the three of them converged and entered from the lower entrance of their own river, stepping into the river's middle brush.

Above the river were Sejuani and Lee Sin, eyeing them covetously.

Just at this moment, LeBlanc suddenly stepped out from behind the wall above—directly almost stepping onto the faces of the three!

Barrier had just received the instruction to "protect Azir," and seeing LeBlanc step onto his face, he pressed the W bind almost instinctively.

But he fell for it.

LeBlanc deliberately stood apart from her teammates this time, clearly wanting to try to initiate a side-lane poke first.

ShowMaker's understanding of LeBlanc is undoubtedly also very sufficient.

Because Maokai's Q skill 【Bramble Smash】 has a chance to "interrupt" LeBlanc's W, LeBlanc cannot step W from the front when facing Maokai and can only try to raid from the side.

But ShowMaker thought of one more point this time—he wanted to try "fishing for ginseng"!

"Hooked!"

LeBlanc immediately pressed the second stage of 【Distortion】 to flash back into the wall, and at the same time immediately drove 【Mimic】 to use the second Distortion, stepping into the Dragon pit!

Maokai's W embrace followed closely, and was just like that brought into the Dragon pit!

Barrier felt a great sense of foreboding, landed and counter-attacked with the R skill Nature's Wrath, and quickly walked toward his teammates below.

But how could the three of DK let him have his way?

The original DWG top-mid-jungle coordination was incredibly tacit; the two understood instantly upon hearing ShowMaker shout.

Sejuani immediately threw out QR Glacial Prison to freeze Maokai, who wanted to escape, while Lee Sin flashed W for an ultra-long-range ward-hop, and with a clean Insec kick, kicked Maokai back onto LeBlanc's face!

"Brother Shengqiang Ge, save your skills!!"

In the emergency, Ye Bo only had time to shout this one sentence.

Seeing the opponent go all out, Ye Bo knew Maokai could no longer be saved.

Once Ornn uses his ultimate, they would be forced to take the fight this time, and Maokai would be killed first, which would likely be a completely failed round.

"DK's top-mid-jungle has completed an amazing coordination!!" The Roaring Emperor raised his volume, his expression extremely excited.

"LeBlanc counter-attacked with a chain, Maokai could only pour all his damage into LeBlanc before dying, but the three-person coordination had already killed Maokai first!"

Maokai and Lee Sin were self-destructing after all.

Neither of their development was good, and Maokai couldn't possibly withstand the full burst of three people.

"In that case, the Rift Herald should already be in DK's pocket... Hmm?" CT Ge's voice turned from doubt to joy.

"EDG seems to still want to take it, so is there a chance to continue killing!"

"No, no, no, I feel that since the jungler has fallen, they should take the Herald first; the offensive tempo is the most important..." The Roaring Emperor offered advice from afar.

In fact, when the three DK top-mid-jungle players saw that the two on the opposite side hadn't retreated, they indeed didn't want to continue fighting.

The three turned directly to start the Herald, quite having the air of ignoring the two.

For one, it was because they had used all their skills to kill Maokai, and actually didn't have the ability to cross the wall to keep people, which was to say Sejuani could have a Q-Flash to force an attack.

Secondly, it was because the two EDG top-mid players hadn't used their skills.

This point was the most crucial.

If Sejuani forcibly Q-Flashed out to keep people, or Lee Sin Q-chased out, Azir could counter-push and cooperate with Ornn for a perfect combo, and with Flash and QE still in hand, they would very likely be outplayed!

"Hold your position, don't let Azir have a chance to come in!" ShowMaker shouted.

DK drew the Herald's aggro inside, and the three surrounded the Herald, attacking wildly.

The position they stood in was very clever.

It was exactly the position where Azir couldn't reach them with his first Sand Soldier placed over the wall, and they weren't too deep.

ShowMaker also knew Azir very well.

The Sand Soldier's casting distance is only 550 yards; Azir couldn't possibly "walk in" to cast a Sand Soldier.

And once Azir used his Q skill to adjust the Sand Soldier's position, the three DK players could immediately pull the Herald further inside, escaping Azir's attack range.

Don't forget, without Q, Azir has no ability to drive the Sand Soldiers.

When the CD hasn't come up in the early game, Azir only has this one ability to deploy Sand Soldiers.

But just at this moment.

Azir came to the side alone.

"Ye, what is he doing?"

"Ah!?"

Immediately following, Azir's next operation made everyone's eyes widen.

Only to see a Sand Soldier set up over the wall.

Another Sand Soldier set up... but the position was a full big step "forward"!

It was exactly the "Sand Soldier squeezing Sand Soldier" principle that Ye Bo had used when "crossing the river" before.

The difference was that this time it was a real combat application.

The first Sand Soldier used the "wall-clipping" release method, and the second Sand Soldier stood at attention one step forward again—almost directly reaching the 740-yard range!

That is the casting range of Azir's Q skill.

However, Azir didn't use Q!

The DK crowd in the Dragon pit also felt something was strange, but at this time they could only immediately pull back, first avoiding the attack range, and by the way, poking the Herald's eye.

But because the three DK players had "stepped aside," there was no deterrent obstacle in front of the Herald.

Azir followed closely, and only then used his Q skill, ordering the two Sand Soldiers to dash into the deep belly of the Herald pit!

Two yellow sand sharp spears were right at the Herald's crotch, overlapping with it!

With the Sand Soldiers' 350-yard attack distance.

As long as the opponent could hit the Herald, the Sand Soldiers could definitely hit the person.

"Don't rush up, we'll just play the pull!"

Ornn, having received the instruction, just stood firmly in front of Azir, acting as a bodyguard as if he were a citizen who had just joined Shurima!

The three DK players were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Forcibly chasing the two out would be exactly what EDG wanted—originally Ye Bo just wanted to stop them from taking the Herald.

Anyway, Azir had huge room for operation when playing the pull, and the two still had all their skills in hand.

And if the three DK players were content, just considering it a harvest of catching the jungler once and stopping there, this round could be considered a small profit.

But how could DK be satisfied?

"... Xia Quan, give him the position! Let him poke!"

"Take the Herald, retreat after taking it, save skills to go over the wall!"

Canyon used a piece of jungle trivia to make a response strategy that seemed somewhat "eerie."

"Live and die with the Herald!"

Lee Sin and Sejuani adjusted their positions to hide behind the Herald; due to the Sand Soldiers' AOE damage mechanism, as long as they poked the person, they would inevitably poke the Herald!

And the Rift Herald has a hidden mechanism.

As everyone knows, taking the Rift Herald mainly relies not on hero output, but on the massive true damage mechanism caused by hitting the "eye" once.

The Rift Herald normally only "opens its eye" once every 10 seconds.

But in fact, the frequency of this eye-opening... is related to the "frequency of attacks received" by the Herald!

Therefore.

When Azir also drove two Sand Soldiers to quickly poke the Herald, it was equivalent to gathering the attack frequency of "six people" at this moment.

The Rift Herald opened its eye for the second time after only 4 seconds!

"DK wants to force it, but with Azir's participation, they are taking it so fast!" Wang Duoduo was amazed to see this bizarre scene.

"This decision by DK is simply 'holding the emperor to command the princes'!"

The Rift Herald is generally killed in about 15-20 seconds, but in this situation, it took a mere 10 seconds to kill it quickly!

Of course, the health of the three DK players was also all below half.

However, they were not afraid of Azir rushing in at all.

What they feared about Azir was only his mobility and the counter-attack ability of his ultimate; once Azir wanted to initiate, as long as he actively used his R skill to go deep into danger, what awaited him would inevitably be the three-person face-stabbing assassination!

The Herald's wail came out.

Sejuani hard-tanked the Sand Soldiers' pokes to forcibly pick up the Eye of the Herald, while Lee Sin and LeBlanc stood by the wall, eyeing them covetously.

As long as Azir had any thoughts of stepping forward to push Sejuani back, the two would decisively fight to the death with him!

Having already obtained the Herald.

Even if they traded kills, DK would inevitably be the ones to profit.

"Master Ye, should we fight!" Brother Shengqiang Ge shouted and asked.

Ye Bo was thinking.

He had a good chance of at least trading for a kill, but he didn't have the confidence to trade for several... If he couldn't at least get a 1-for-2 or 2-for-3, that would be a worse choice.

The key point of this round was that his own damage wasn't enough!

The hero Azir is really too dependent on equipment; at this moment, he only had a {Lost Chapter} hanging on him, the tips of the Sand Soldiers' spears hadn't been sharpened yet, and the damage was simply not worth looking at!

Ye Bo was quickly reviewing his and Ornn's skills, thinking about whether there was a chance for an operation.

And just at this moment.

Ye Bo suddenly noticed something.

"Brother Shengqiang Ge, you come here!"

All three DK heroes had the ability to climb mountains and cross ridges.

Sejuani picked up the Eye of the Herald, then the three converged, and the three displacements with full discipline went over the wall together!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

"Hey, Azir is chasing! It seems he wants to make a move!"

But still the same saying, they weren't afraid of Azir initiating.

No matter how Azir wanted to operate, as long as he dared to initiate EQ and fly to their faces, Sejuani could Q to knock him down from the pursuit, and Lee Sin and LeBlanc's damage would be enough to kill the crispy chicken instantly!

The three DK players went over the wall.

And just at this moment, a sheep's bleat resounded through the canyon.

And that lava sheep spirit—was generated almost right in front of the three's eyes!

Ornn's R skill has a full 2500-yard casting distance, and the first stage of R is the starting point from 2500 yards away, running toward Ornn's direction.

The three ignored it.

Anyway, the damage of Ornn's ultimate was just like that; the first time it rolled over the three, it only dealt a mere 125 points of damage...

But the next moment.

Within the field of vision, Azir, who was chasing from the Dragon pit below, suddenly burned Flash.

This Flash looked inexplicably strange.

Because Azir neither crossed the wall nor pursued, he just flashed to "supplement the distance."

Azir set up a Sand Soldier over the wall—but snatched it before the three, poking the Blast Cone from a long distance!

The three were bounced back into the Dragon pit in reverse.

But the core of that "Blast Cone" seemed to be packed with "explosives"!

At the moment of takeoff, the health of all three people could be clearly seen dropping by a layer!

That was the 【Brittle】 applied by Ornn's first stage of Call of the Forge God!

{The Brittle effect can be broken not only by Ornn himself, but by any crowd control triggered by all allies}

The Blast Cone detonated by Azir naturally counted.

This wasn't over yet.

In mid-air where the three were retreating, Ornn had already crashed into them with the second stage of Call of the Forge God!

The three, who were still in the knock-up state, couldn't dodge and were knocked into the sky with one hit—and had the second 【Brittle】 effect applied.

"Emperor's Divide"!

【Emperor's Divide】 pushed the three knocked-up people horizontally again, breaking the second 【Brittle】 effect!

Ornn then E-crashed forward, using the wall formed by the Emperor's Divide to knock the three into the air for the third time.

Landing, he blew out Bellows Breath, knocking the third Brittle out of the surviving pig head!

"What happened here!!!"

"What kind of operation is this! Why is this Azir's ultimate so painful!?"

"Brittle! It's Brittle! It's Azir's ultimate triggering the Brittle damage!"

"A sudden reversal! Azir... has harvested a triple kill!"

The LCK commentary desk seemed to fall from heaven to hell in just an instant.

Just a second ago, they were still shouting that DK had taken the Herald without injury and had even killed one person, which was simply a huge profit.

But the next moment, the voice broadcast of a triple kill came!

The reason why the hero Ornn has high damage is that the most important source is this Brittle effect, which deals 15% of {maximum health} damage per hit.

But under normal circumstances, Ornn himself can only deal Brittle once with one ultimate, and that's only if the second stage of R hits.

But this time, it was triggered by the {knock-up} of a Blast Cone, and then triggered by the {knock-back} of Emperor's Divide.

And both were group triggers!

Acting on three people at the same time!

Forcibly creating an incredible effect.

【I measure, Shurima Malphite! The people on the opposite side never came down from the sky!】

【Looking back and flying to turn the tide, the Emperor's Divide and Sheep Call set the universe!】

【Group triple Brittle??? Good heavens, I find it hard to even hit one person with triple Brittle!】

【@Feifei, are you there? Come learn Azir! New goods again!】

【Master Ye is a genius!】

【To be honest, he was steady for so long in the early game and almost got sent away by Barrier, he really turned the tide step by step!】

"The key opportunity DK originally found has suffered a shocking reversal!" Guan Zeyuan was extremely excited: "Although they got the Herald, Azir harvested a triple kill!"

"That's right! Although it seems acceptable, we all know that DK's lineup is playing for Azir's development period, and this is disastrous news for them!" Wang Duoduo shouted even more excitedly.

"Wow, Master Ye went home and bought Everfrost! He's so rich!" Rita blinked her eyes and noticed the changes in the equipment bar.

Azir, who had harvested a triple kill, actually bought the mythic item {Everfrost} directly after recalling!

This is definitely not good news for the DK crowd.

Especially ShowMaker.

He still remembered the game in the LCK playoffs where he played against T1, which was also LeBlanc against Azir.

In the decisive game of that match, the last round was Faker using Everfrost to freeze the LeBlanc who came to raid, so she couldn't go back, directly leading to the mid-laner being killed instantly, and the game was ended in one wave.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed Faker's Everfrost was stolen from this person...

Without a doubt, at least for ShowMaker, who had psychological trauma, seeing this Everfrost, he didn't dare to step W in front of Azir.

Of course, Everfrost Azir also has his own drawbacks.

For example, relatively lacking in damage—but EDG has Yuumi!

The complexions of all DK members were not very good.

After this round, not only did it not alleviate their offensive pressure in the slightest, but it also made the tempo even more urgent!

Now Azir's development is already a Sword of Damocles over DK's head.

As if it's telling you all the time: if you don't speed up the tempo, this Azir will soon be out of control!

Canyon had been wanting to target Azir before.

But because he only reached level six at 7 minutes and was about to prepare for the Herald, plus Maokai was always detecting his whereabouts, he never found a chance.

Now he has his ultimate... but Azir has a mythic item!

The only good news is that the hero Azir's characteristics are such that his combat power is still limited before two items.

And DK, with everyone reaching level six, can also start to exert the strong period of their lineup.

"DK controls the first Dragon, EDG makes a very wise choice to avoid the fight!" Wang Duoduo, from the god's-eye view, highly agreed with this decision.

"Taking the first Dragon after 9 minutes means the decisive battle for the Dragon Soul will be at least at 25 minutes; by then, Azir will definitely have two items, or even three!"

"At that time, they will completely reach their power spike!"

Guan Zeyuan's mouth was already grinning: "I can only say that there is a gap in the lineup in this game; DK released Yuumi and released Maokai and Azir, all the strong version choices were given to EDG, the offensive pressure is really too great!"

It can only be said that DK did indeed discover the reason for releasing Yuumi and made the design for the level-one invasion in this game.

But they didn't discover the most important core.

Ye Bo dared to release Yuumi before, firstly because of the factor of the opposing support player.

But more because they are a team that can focus on "bottom lane offense."

They can attack the bottom lane fiercely and seize the hero weakness of Yuumi to go all out!

But DK is not.

The comprehensive strength of DK's bottom lane duo is really mediocre; even if the combination has some small laning advantages, the two EDG bottom lane players are still playing while sick, and when they lane, it can only be said to be a 50-50.

In this case, once Yuumi easily passes her weak period, she will play a huge role in leaping levels!

Time comes to 19 minutes.

The score between the two sides has been very tight; the DK mid-jungle duo has been looking for gank opportunities in the cracks, and they have indeed forcibly caught a few side lanes by relying on the strength of LeBlanc and Lee Sin.

But the gains were really too small!

Just because every raid was forced, EDG could perform equivalent side-lane resource swaps, and no one gave a free chance.

"EDG really showed amazing discipline in this game; it feels like everyone is very careful, there's no shadow at all..." CT Ge stopped mid-sentence.

"EDG's operation aspect really hasn't been affected too much, very similar to their performance against T1," the Roaring Emperor was quite frank: "Perhaps it's because the person in charge of their command is still in very good condition today."

"Now it depends on whether the opponent will take the next Dragon fight..."

21 minutes.

EDG continues to choose to give up the third Dragon, just avoiding the fight.

In fact, EDG's economy has actually been a small advantage all along.

But Ye Bo, as the commander, forcibly held back one wave after another of team-fighting opportunities—mainly he had to force himself to hold back!

His responsibility in this game is too heavy; it's not the kind of multi-core power lineup as usual, he must be steady.

And it is precisely this steadiness of his—that makes all five DK members seem to have a sense of despair.

It's impossible to force Baron, after all, they are even at a disadvantage in terms of economy.

Or rather, if it weren't for that miraculous counter-attack at the Herald, perhaps DK would still dare to try, but now they are already having lingering fears about EDG's "positional warfare" lineup in this game!

Now it seems they can only watch the opponent's development, waiting until "the game begins."

25 minutes.

On the eve of the Dragon Soul fight, Azir recalled again.

After the {Shadowflame} in the equipment bar, another {Zhonya's Hourglass} was added.

"Azir has three items! This Dragon Soul fight will definitely be taken!"

"Yuumi has already changed cars, and Yuumi bought Flowing Water Staff, this is truly the treatment of a main carry!"

The two sides gathered in front of the Dragon pit.

Except for the mid-laner, the equipment gap between the two sides is actually not large, it's just the gap in resource allocation.

Canyon wants to find a chance for an Insec kick.

But Sivir has a shield, Azir has Zhonya's, and there's no point in kicking the other two people, it's difficult.

Not to mention that if it's not kicking Azir back, the impact on the game situation is also limited.

"I'll find a chance to engage on Azir?" Nuguri signaled.

"Feels very difficult, that Maokai and Ornn are always standing in front..." Canyon, who was also looking for an angle, shook his head.

"I'll go poke and see if I can bait out skills."

ShowMaker took the lead, exerting the advantages of LeBlanc.

Distortion stepped out from a long distance, walking forward wanting to perform long-range poking.

This EDG lineup has almost no threat to him; there are no skills that can immediately control him, as long as he doesn't step on their faces, the casting pre-swing of Everfrost is not easy to hit.

But Ye Bo, seeing LeBlanc stepping over, narrowed his eyes.

"Barrier, if you have a chance, you hug LeBlanc." Ye Bo said: "Open your ultimate when you land."

"Hmm?"

Barrier, who was still blaming himself for the mistake at the Herald and almost ruining the big picture, was a bit puzzled.

However, he didn't ask further, just started staring at LeBlanc's movements.

ShowMaker stepped up fiercely, walking forward unscrupulously to throw Sigil of Malice and Ethereal Chains at the Maokai in front...

And Maokai, after nearly 20 minutes—flashed and bound LeBlanc again!

ShowMaker's face was ecstatic, and he shouted in the voice chat.

He didn't expect that the opponent would make the same mistake twice in the same game!

Distortion flashed back to the original place, bringing Maokai into the encirclement of his own teammates!

But at this moment, Azir suddenly set up a Sand Soldier forward.

Ornn also blew the horn of Call of the Forge God.

"Careful!"

Maokai followed LeBlanc back, using her as a springboard, going deep behind enemy lines!

Landing, he released 【Nature's Grasp】 to summon the tree world domain.

The tree world domain covers an extremely wide range, easily covering all five people from the 300-yard range behind Maokai and applying a group {root}!

The 0.75-second root with a short-distance start is very short, and in the vast majority of cases, it cannot play a role, just like Nunu fishing Maokai back before, the other four couldn't keep up with the skills in time.

But at this moment, Azir had already let 【Shifting Sands】 move forward!

Emperor's Divide pushed back in reverse!

If there wasn't this initiating root, with Azir flying and pushing his face like this, the opponent would have countless ways to knock him down.

But now, they could only watch everything happen!

The final chapter of the magic book moved in the air, the hunting rhythm accelerated, and the lava mountain goat crashed into them!

"Pizza, totally pizza!" The Roaring Emperor held his head and shouted.

"Maokai released a perfect ultimate! EDG played a perfect team fight! Desert Emperor destroyed this team fight!"

"How did they suddenly die after lingering for 25 minutes!"

【This is not a sand wall, but a formation to punish thieves!】

【Luoyang has fallen, why not surrender early?】

【ShowMaker, are you the one who brought the bandits into the village?】

【This game actually died at eight minutes, it was just buried at twenty-five minutes! You loved to shout when you got First Blood just now, speak to me!】

【Eight minutes? One minute! It hasn't been spicy since the BP started!】

EDG took both Dragons and Baron, and the economic gap was completely blown open.

Azir had already become an existence that the opponent couldn't handle.

Two bodyguards stood in front, and the driven Sand Soldiers were incredibly brave.

The figures included in the formation seemed to be ruling a steel torrent made of yellow sand!

The sound of defensive towers collapsing came one after another, and the defensive line that DK had held for the first twenty minutes was being torn apart layer by layer at high speed.

29 minutes.

Maokai and Ornn engaged together, and DK was kept in front of the high-ground gate!

Accompanied by Azir's scepter hitting the ground for the last time, the phantom of the Emperor's Divide was like a sandstorm covering the sky and the sun, drowning DK's high ground in one fell swoop.

Lee Sin was still trying to stop it forcibly, but was entangled by quicksand at the moment of flashing and ward-hopping—it was the path of life blocked by the Everfrost cold current!

The cracks in the Nexus spread in the rolling yellow sand.

At exactly 30 minutes, the DK base crystal collapsed with a bang!
