Chapter 149: Blast Cone Artist! Walking along the sand wall, triangular flip!
Canyon looked very uncomfortable.
Because Graves was extremely passive at this moment.
For two consecutive games, he hadn't been able to play a "normal" jungle start; this feeling of the game rhythm always being controlled by others was very maddening.
Yet he himself was the person who liked to play like this the most!
Canyon was famous for all kinds of magical invasion starts, but at this moment, when he faced this situation, it was like a hawk-handler being pecked in the eye by a hawk!
Now there were two choices before him.
Because his own jungle was all empty, if he wanted to farm, he had to invade the opponent's jungle.
If Graves missed a jungle zone at the start, it was undoubtedly hard to accept—especially since the route design at the start led to him not having a red buff at this moment!
And the other choice was to go counter-gank.
After Maokai helped Pyke push the minion wave, the two disappeared from vision.
There was no information to judge where Maokai and Pyke went.
Whether they returned to base to farm, or went to gank together, or went to gank separately...
This was the passivity caused by {opening rhythm} and {jungle information}!
Once this choice was wrong, it was very likely that the whole game would be lost!
Audiences watching from God's perspective found it hard to empathize with the decision-making pressure faced by those in the game.
After struggling, Canyon still chose the safe "invasion" choice.
This was partly because the primary purpose of Graves as a hero was to ensure his own development.
And by comparison, the success rate of a Graves without a red buff ganking was really too low.
Once unsuccessful, Maokai starting with three jungle zones would very likely lead to a collapse in development.
Although Graves in the jungle against Maokai was an advantage, the advantage was definitely not so great that he could ignore the equipment gap!
Secondly, it was because the opponent's gank would very likely be the two of them together, and his own counter-gank might not produce any results.
"The accidental death in the mid lane, Canyon's jungle rhythm is affected again..."
"Graves here chooses to detour from his own jungle, turn to the top red zone, and it will take a lot of time again."
"But this wave really can't blame ShowMaker; Maokai's invasion was something we didn't expect from God's perspective; in fact, his anti-gank was fine!" CT Ge was still explaining to the players on the field.
The Roaring Emperor looked at the situation with difficulty: "That's what they say, but the mid lane still needs to be careful this wave!"
So, where did Pyke and Maokai go after pushing the wave?
Maokai was almost at full health, and although Pyke had lost some health, he had TP in hand and wasn't in a hurry to return to base.
The two of them were actually squatting at the jungle entrance of their own blue zone!
If Graves's choice this wave was the most direct one to the blue zone, he would run head-on into the two people squatting for him!
And if he didn't run into them, then Graves's movement was self-evident.
This was an unfair information war; since they knew Graves's movement, it was obviously destined that he couldn't get anything done in the top half.
DK's top and bottom lanes received reminders from the jungler, and everyone was in danger.
Caitlyn began to press forward, and DK's bot lane duo simply gave up the minion wave.
"Jianfu, you have to be careful, Pyke is still missing, he didn't use TP..."
Xu Xiu saw that the opponent hadn't lit up TP under the tower, and after coming out, he hurriedly pushed the minion wave, trying to use the pressure of the minion wave to force Pyke back.
But before he finished speaking, he saw the warning of 【Bone Skewer】 appear on his body.
"Pyke is in the mid!"
The vision in the right river didn't see Pyke appear; not knowing which side the opponent would come from, the Emperor could only walk straight to the tower.
Fortunately, he had already reached level three this wave, and he had flash and E in hand, so his sense of security was very strong.
And Maokai had arrived at the position of the first wave again!
The two had a clear view of the vision in the middle of the river before, and could be sure there was no vision.
Plus the red zone was all empty and there was no point in defending it; a simple process of elimination meant the Emperor's ward was likely placed in the lane grass.
Pyke, walking out from the jungle path, was already approaching in a stealth state.
And Maokai also attacked again with {Hextech Flash}!
Xu Xiu's nerves were extremely tense.
The moment he saw Pyke appear, the Emperor reacted extremely quickly, summoning a sand soldier in the opposite direction, and immediately pressed WE 【Shurima Shuffle】 to pull away!
But the next moment... Shurima Shuffle turned into "stepping in place"!
The forward-dashing Phantom Undertow directly cut off the connection between the Emperor and the sand soldier!
"Interrupted!?"
"The Emperor was interrupted exactly! The hook at face-to-face distance... fortunately! Fortunately, ShowMaker reacted extremely quickly! He flashed the moment Pyke attacked!"
The Roaring Emperor said with lingering fear: "Was this a mistake? Why was it interrupted at this moment?"
Looking at this wave from God's perspective, it seemed a bit like the Emperor pressed WE too slowly?
But obviously, how could Xu Xiu, who was tense and prepared to the limit, have a reaction reason?
The answer—is that it couldn't be dodged!
This is the "distance collision" between Pyke vs Emperor, two heroes.
The "stealth warning" range of Pyke's W approach is 550 yards.
The forward dash distance of Pyke's E is 550 yards.
And the Emperor's W cast distance is also 550 yards.
Which means that when the Emperor can "see" Pyke approaching with W disguise, he has actually already entered the E-dash range!
This can be used not only when ganking the mid lane—but also during normal laning.
Of course, that's not the point.
What's really important is the Emperor's 【W+E】 displacement combo; W has a 0.5-second "stiffness" effect after summoning the sand soldier, and then he can use E to fly forward.
So, as long as Pyke dashes forward with E the moment he appears.
Even if the Emperor reacts as fast as him, he will definitely be blocked!
In fact—if DK didn't ban the Emperor today, Ye Bo was prepared to play the Emperor for five games, so that he could bear the main output pressure himself, just like in the first game.
Letting teammates who are not in good condition defend is always easier than attacking.
And if the Emperor was banned, and Akali and Sylas were not released, then he would choose Pyke.
Just because Pyke's laning is able to restrain the Emperor in certain aspects!
And Pyke is also the hero most likely to drive the team's rhythm.
It could even be said that there is no one else.
"Pyke is stealthing directly from the lane again! He's going to the jungle to find Graves again!"
"After Pyke TP'd out in the last wave, he has already entered the jungle once, cooperating with Maokai's Hextech Flash to force Graves's flash; this wave coming again might be very dangerous!"
"It's hard to imagine what we're seeing; in the first five minutes, Maokai has been invading and counter-jungling Graves! He turned his jungle upside down! It's simply reversing the heavens!"
"And the Emperor is a bit afraid to push the lane after losing his flash; even as long as Pyke opens W, he immediately retreats!"
"After swapping offense and defense, EDG's offensive in the early game is clearly better than DK's in the last game!"
Pyke would be laning well, then suddenly open W 【Ghostwater Dive】 in front of you and disappear.
After the last wave, the Emperor now treats this W like a formidable enemy, and his first reaction is to retreat.
Pyke, relying on W's 5-second duration and over 50%+ speed boost, turns twice and enters the jungle, cooperating with Maokai to find Graves!
The skill that truly gives Pyke "strong roaming ability"—is actually W.
Pyke's damage is very high, which could be seen from the laning phase before.
The only flaw is that besides flat A, the three skills QER are all non-directional and not necessarily able to hit.
But with Maokai's cooperation, it's different!
This combination, which looks soft, is actually quite strong in jungle fighting once matched together!
At least it's much stronger than the Emperor.
So when facing an invasion, Canyon can at most call teammates to come and help drive them away, but it's hard to make an effective counter.
Only his handling was calm and detailed enough.
Seeing Maokai and Pyke invading and circling behind with Hextech Flash again, he first threw the 【Smoke Screen】 at Maokai, who was almost close, making the opponent lose the opportunity to W him, and then hurriedly used the E skill to pull away and escape Pyke's Q distance.
But although he didn't die, the damage to the jungle was unavoidable.
The commentators watch the excitement, the experts watch the doorway.
On the other side, BeryL, who was watching the match backstage at DRX, finally seemed to understand something.
He looked like he had suddenly seen a favorite two-dimensional female character, his whole eyes shining.
"The person who did their BP is very powerful!"
"In this version, the only ones who can stably suppress Maokai in the jungle in all periods are Graves and the Defeated King; even Nidalee can't, let alone Kim Geon-bu, who doesn't play Nidalee at all since the durability adjustment!"
"So they dared to pick the Emperor in the first game because they banned those two junglers; at worst, Maokai would self-destruct in the jungle with the Blind Monk, not to mention Maokai isn't afraid of the Blind Monk in the jungle at all!"
"But DK can't, because they pick the Emperor and can't protect the jungle, and the jungle can't accept self-destruction... picking the Emperor, instead, stepped into EDG's trap!"
"In this way, they can force Kim Geon-bu to play heroes like Maokai himself, or force you to release the mid-lane hero..."
The other people at DRX listened in a daze.
But obviously, BeryL, who had also gnawed through the footage of all World Championship teams, was practicing the same mental method as Ye Bo.
He immediately saw the thinking behind this BP.
"We can learn from their mid-jungle BP thinking; although we don't play heroes like Pyke, our mid laner also has our advantages..."
BeryL, in high spirits, was recording his thoughts.
And Ye Bo on the field didn't know that his BP thinking had inspired the opponent.
Time reached 5 minutes.
Graves's creep score was actually lower than Maokai's!
There was no way around it.
Because this was no longer just a jungle confrontation.
Pyke constantly relied on W's high speed boost, occasionally intimidating the mid lane to compete for lane priority, occasionally cooperating to invade the jungle, occasionally roaming to gank!
Xu Xiu had no other choice; after all, the Emperor couldn't run around everywhere.
At least before level six, the Emperor's roaming ability was infinitely close to 0.
He could only carefully push the minion wave, trying to grab economy through lane priority.
5 minutes, EDG started the first dragon on time.
Due to the limited development in the jungle, DK decisively chose to give up, letting Graves take the opportunity to turn to the top half to invade the jungle and make up for development.
The dragon's cry resounded through the canyon, and the four EDG members took the opportunity to return to base.
And at this time, Canyon, who was invading the top jungle, looked at the mini-map and opened the scoreboard.
Seeing his miserable creep score, he was clearly a bit anxious.
Can't go on like this...
From God's perspective, both sides were deploying troops.
Pyke, the solo laner, had reached level six and was just about to start his first rhythm.
And the target, naturally, was still the jungle!
Ye Bo thought very clearly.
Although they were a Caitlyn system this game, the way to help the bot lane wasn't just four-pack-two or forced ganking—tying up the opponent's mid-jungle could also achieve it!
Viper and Meiko, although in poor condition, if there was no anti-gank pressure, pure 2v2 laning could still achieve certain results!
After all, DK's bot lane Ezreal was obviously a pressure-resistant option, and they weren't prepared to play the bot lane, just to dismantle the opponent's Caitlyn combination and pick a double long-range bot lane to respond.
More importantly, the suppression of Graves had been formed, and the flash had been hit.
They should strike while the iron is hot and not give the opponent a chance to breathe.
Graves cleared the entire top half by taking advantage of the time they were doing the dragon.
But because the jungle was invaded before, Graves's position was almost transparent, so his direction this wave wasn't hard to guess; he would likely turn around and return to his own blue zone.
"Brother Shengqiang Ge, we might have to fight 3v3 this wave, pay attention to support."
"Bot lane be a little careful about the Emperor, but I estimate he won't go to the bottom..."
Ye Bo arranged the layout while leaning towards the top half with Maokai.
At the same time, the top laners of both sides also made a posture to support at any time.
But little did they know.
There were three people squatting in the jungle waiting for them!
"Three Uncle's sense of smell! He seems to be certain that the opponent will definitely come to invade their top half!" Guan Zeyuan's eyes showed shock.
"Kellin's Lux actually came directly to the top jungle to counter-gank after leaving base this wave; he's been squatting for ten seconds!"
Wang Duoduo was worried: "It seems EDG is really going; this wave DK is unexpected; it seems they are prepared to use the bot lane plating to set up a counter-attack in the jungle!?"
Canyon's wishful thinking was very loud.
Ezreal alone guarding the bot lane would naturally lose plating, but at most, it would be two or three platings.
But once this wave was squatted, and the opponent's mid-jungle, or even the top laner, were killed.
Just the head money alone would far exceed the plating benefit!
Not to mention that the mid lane could also take advantage of the plating, and the jungler could reverse the jungle situation that had been suppressed before in one wave, rewriting the mid-jungle pattern; it was definitely a turnaround strategy that killed many birds with one stone!
Pyke and Maokai approached the blue zone and opened the scan at the entrance.
Anyway, they weren't trying to kill Graves, just to grab the jungle, keep the opponent's development limited, so they didn't care about being discovered.
However, this time, no ward was scanned.
"There's actually no ward here?"
Ye Bo felt suspicious.
Reasonably speaking, after successive jungle invasions, there was no reason for the opponent not to place wards at such a key jungle entrance.
"Don't be anxious, Jie, you walk behind me, I'll go in first."
Pyke and Maokai swapped order.
One W went underwater into a stealth state, taking the lead and entering the jungle.
And just after entering the corner and taking two more steps, a red 【Exclamation Mark】 suddenly jumped out above Pyke's head!
That was the warning that W was detected.
The only things that could detect Pyke were "True Wards" and "Hero Units."
Relying on W's 550-yard detection range and the E skill for life-saving, Pyke could serve as a "vision exploration" task when necessary.
Ye Bo's vigilance suddenly pulled to the max.
But immediately after, the light ball of 【Light Binding】 flew out blindly from the grass!
Ye Bo, who was already prepared, reacted extremely quickly.
Because this place happened to be at the narrowest corner of the jungle entrance, there wasn't much space to dodge, so he instinctively dashed forward with E towards the Blast Cone direction!
The Light Binding brushed past Pyke's scalp... but still hit Maokai behind!
"Hit! Maokai!"
"I'm coming!" Nuguri from the top lane had already arrived at the first moment.
Xu Xiu made a decisive decision, an EQR drift dash forward, pushing Maokai back!
Although Pyke reacted quickly, this wave was 3 against 2; even if the two of you were strong in combat, there was no reason you could win!
And even if Pyke sat on the Blast Cone and bounced away, Camille was coming from above, able to pursue and intercept with 【Hextech Ultimatum】.
This wave of two people seemed to be a dead end.
"DK's meticulously arranged net! EDG's mid-jungle has stepped in; this wave, don't even think about escaping!"
The Roaring Emperor had just shouted excitedly, but the next moment he screamed in horror.
"What!!!"
When Ye Bo saw that there were three people standing in the grass, and the Emperor pushed Maokai back after passing through him, he knew he had fallen into an ambush.
And it was this instant.
The proficiency crystal of hero understanding shone again.
Everything in Summoner's Rift that could interact with it flashed and combined in his brain.
In the current battle, the desperate situation, there was still a glimmer of light to be found.
The next moment, Pyke, who dashed out, didn't change direction, but instead continued to pace forward two inches to calibrate to the key standing position, then gently waved his dagger to poke the cone.
Pyke used the force to bounce sideways, landing behind—realigning with the starting point of the E skill.
And the drowning ghost shadow chasing from behind suddenly changed its pursuit direction because of this!
Sweeping over the heads of the three enemy people!
《Changing Ghost Shadow》!
Three points form a line.
The Emperor, who dashed forward with EQ, was originally dashing in a direction close to Pyke's E starting point, and with the two people standing in the grass, they also formed a line.
The moment Maokai landed after being pushed back—the three bodies were first entangled by the ghost shadow and nailed in place, falling into {stun}!
"Lux!"
Maokai understood instantly, W tied him up, then backhanded with a Q skill to knock him away, making him move away from the position near the defensive tower where he could directly flash over the wall.
Pyke, who had a {Serrated Dirk}, AAA Hail of Blades three times, without using Q.
The health bar above the head of the level four Lux had already presented a bulging blood-red color!
But Lux, the moment she was released from control, still panicked and immediately flashed over the wall, traveling into the Three Wolves camp.
Although it seemed to block vision.
But in reality, Pyke's R didn't need to lock on.
Two bone blades crossed into an inverted cross, slashing down the fatal blood-colored vortex blindly over the wall.
【Death from Below】!
After the crisp sound, two bags of bounty fell into the pockets of Pyke and Maokai respectively.
"Camille is... is arriving first!" Brother Shengqiang Ge shouted urgently, his voice even cracking: "I'm behind!"
And it was this shout that made Ye Bo instantly stop his finger that originally wanted to turn around and press the R skill.
He thought of more possibilities.
"Don't come! Brother Shengqiang Ge, you go back!"
Although the two top laners stood up almost at the same time.
But Camille had the support advantage of the hook shot, and would inevitably arrive at the battlefield first.
And even if they killed the most fragile Lux first, the situation on the field would still be 2v2, and both of them had almost used all their skills; continuing to fight would definitely have no chance of winning.
So Ye Bo stopped Aatrox's support.
"Ye's operation! Actually using the Blast Cone to flash the ghost shadow back from above his head?" Guan Zeyuan shouted hoarsely: "This Blast Cone is simply played to the extreme by him!"
"Because of Pyke's mechanism of sharing bounty with the ultimate, Maokai also has money; in fact, changing one person is equivalent to changing to two heads! This 2-for-1 wave is still not very lossy!"
"That's right! The bot lane can also eat plating, the economy is at most even!" Wang Duoduo also shouted passionately.
"Ye once again reversed the situation with his personal operation! Breaking a net that was very likely to collapse!"
Pyke had no flash; if he hadn't cleverly used the Blast Cone, he could only use the R skill to get close to drive the ghost shadow.
And in that case, not to mention whether he could kill, at least it wasn't ended by the ultimate, so the effect of sharing bounty couldn't be done.
It's a pity that it seems to have ended here.
Pyke had already used all his skills, had no E, no flash, and no displacement, deep in the opponent's jungle position, almost nowhere to escape.
"Ah, although the support was exchanged, DK backhanded and killed Maokai, and the head was taken by the Emperor!" The Roaring Emperor tried his best to keep his tone high.
"Can Pyke's head be given to Graves? And give Camille an assist! A bit more economy... anyway, he's definitely nowhere to escape!"
The Emperor and Graves vented all their anger on Maokai, a round of explosive bombs and three sand soldiers poked fiercely.
After killing Maokai, they turned to continue looking for Pyke, who seemed to be "waiting to die" in place.
Ye Bo did look like he was waiting to die in place, just standing still by the wall.
But obviously, Pyke's E skill also had a 10-second CD, so it was impossible to refresh.
Everyone really wanted to give Camille an assist, otherwise it would be a wasted trip; Aatrox had already used the AOE of three Qs to quickly push the minion wave into the tower, and would still lose a lot of experience.
And Pyke, who was waiting to die, suddenly raised his Bone Skewer to charge.
Then poked at Graves, who was chasing.
Graves didn't dodge at all; anyway, his health was still healthy, and Pyke couldn't possibly counter-kill him, instead helping him quickly get close to output.
The Camille has already reached the corner of the blue buff, using a Hookshot to latch onto the wall, kicking in with a sweep to try and snag an assist.
"Give the head to Jianfu!" Xu Xiu reminded.
But, at this moment.
Pyke, who seemed to be struggling on his deathbed, used the Bone Skewer to poke and pull Graves to his side, and then used the ultimate refreshed by killing Lux to strike again.
Pyke's figure actually disappeared!
Camille's hook shot sweep kicked empty, and the shotgun and sand soldiers also poked the air.
Pyke just disappeared in front of the three people!
"Where did he go!?"
Nuguri reacted the fastest, directly placing a ward over the wall—and discovered Pyke in front of his own high-ground gate!
The three people seemed to look at each other in the canyon.
The whole venue erupted into shocking exclamations.
"Ah???"
"What the hell is this!?"
"How did Pyke get over there!"
If we talk about the thickest wall in Summoner's Rift, the jungle wall in front of the high-ground gate where Pyke was just now definitely counts as the top three!
The most important thing is that Pyke clearly had no E, and didn't use E to get over!
The answer is 【Death from Below】.
The range of Death from Below is an X shape, and this wave was aimed at the enemy with a corner, using the central target point to cross more than half of the wall—it could be used as the effect of "Displacement Ghost Slash."
This is the absolute utilization of skill mechanisms.
The Emperor's level one E was a full 22 seconds, longer than Pyke's E, so naturally it didn't refresh.
And Graves and the Emperor's flash hadn't turned yet, while Camille used E to barely reach the battlefield, so it was impossible to flash and chase hard...
No one could continue to cross this thick wall to chase.
【Damn, too cool!!!】
【Y · Blast Cone Artist · E】
【Roar, there's such an escape route? What kind of survivor king!】
【The true key man!】
【This is Master Ye's water ghost! Do you understand what a unique skill is!】
"Wait... it seems it's not over yet!"
Everyone was still immersed in shock.
But they realized that the director hadn't brought up the replay screen for a long time, and the lens was still locked on Pyke.
Seeing Pyke, who had dived into the bottom half, not pressing return to base.
And the DK crowd was still completely unaware, immersed in the emotions of this failure, without a clearer-headed commander noticing more possibilities.
Nor did they realize—the water ghost who was continuing to head to the bot lane!
"DK didn't realize! They didn't find out!"
"Ezreal is still under the tower and has no intention of retreating!"
Pyke sat on the Blast Cone and quickly climbed over the wall, landing behind the second tower; even if the opponent discovered it now, it would be too late.
"Go!"
Ezreal was very rogue, his health remained healthy, and this wave didn't feel like there was any possibility of being tower-dived.
A clear command was issued.
Meiko's Renata, who was still honestly attacking the tower, suddenly rose up and Q-flashed to make trouble!
Viper's Caitlyn cooperated tacitly, synchronously connecting 【Yordle Snap Trap】.
The second stage of the iron hand pulled, directly pulling Ezreal onto the trap, completing the control connection, and playing a small combo!
Caitlyn raised her sniper rifle and shot out the Peacekeeper, aiming at the head and shooting frantically.
Pyke behind had already walked out, directly walking into the tower AAAQ stabbing.
With 【Bailout】 protection, Pyke killed him and then leisurely E'd out of the tower, elegant and easy.
"Another kill in the bot lane! Wow, this wave seems to have made a fortune!" Guan Zeyuan's mouth couldn't stop rising: "EDG faced the opponent's ambush design, but counter-attacked with a miraculous comeback!"
"This EDG bot lane combination seems to have played out the effect similar to the Lux-Caitlyn combination~"
"And Pyke is not ready to leave, ready to push the plating together with the bot lane!"
"DK here has no one who can return to defend the bot lane; it seems they can only let the mid-jungle duo go to the mid tower to try to exchange economy..."
This wave DK was obviously losing crazy.
Originally, exchanging a head for Pyke, and using the bounty head killed by the ultimate, was already hard to earn too much economy.
As a result, the bot lane also died!
This back and forth was equivalent to being hit with a "1-for-3," and at the same time, the top and bottom lanes also lost extra plating numbers!
And Ye Bo's decision to continue helping the bot lane push the tower to "exchange plating" was still considering further game theory.
The mid lane first tower was full health, and being hit by the opponent didn't matter.
But the bot lane first tower, everyone knew what it meant.
It meant the acceleration of the "Caitlyn system"!
Time reached the eve of the canyon team fight, and the influence had already begun to appear.
"These two minutes Maokai didn't go to invade the jungle again, but has been squatting in the bot lane as a bodyguard to cover this wave; the bot lane first tower only has one bar of health left!"
"DK must make a choice; the bot lane first tower and the Rift Herald, they have already lost one!"
Generally speaking, the Caitlyn system hitting two platings in 8 minutes is already a very smooth start.
But due to the "exchange plating" decision in the last wave, this bot lane tower only had one bar of health, and Ezreal and Lux were also difficult to stop!
If you don't send people, the bot tower will definitely fall.
If you send people, the Herald will definitely be taken!
DK's final choice was to give up competing for the Herald and try to catch the bot lane.
Their consideration was also very simple—because Pyke is a very standard rhythm hero, and the strong point is the ability to fight in groups in the early and mid-game.
And it's easy to have a situation where you slash in a team fight and directly "explode the economy."
But the shortcomings are also very obvious; as long as it drags to the mid-game, Pyke doesn't play out enough advantage, and the high-risk nature of this hero's fragile body will be exposed.
Not to mention that in the late game, there is no comparison with heroes like the Emperor.
So trying to avoid group fights as much as possible was the best strategy for DK.
"Our bot lane needs to be steady this wave, the opponent hasn't appeared yet, don't be anxious."
"Wait for them to appear before pushing; we are definitely going to take the Herald anyway!"
Ye Bo gave a reminder.
Unfortunately, there was still a small accident.
Although the bot lane duo had retreated and made preparations, the opponent's mid-jungle had been squatting with great patience for a long time.
Viper had both summoner spells in hand, so his positioning was slightly forward, but he was caught in a positioning gap, pushed from the side by the Emperor drifting over the wall, forcibly flashing, and pushing the Caitlyn back in "mid-air"!
According to previous reactions, Viper had flash and E, so he couldn't die no matter what; even if he wasn't caught, it would be a huge loss for the mid-jungle duo to waste a lot of time.
But this wave, he was a bit dizzy, and because he was worried about reacting slowly, he pressed the flash very "urgently"... as a result, he was "delayed-pushed" back by the Emperor!
"Sorry sorry, sorry, my bad..." Viper apologized repeatedly, almost jumping out in his mother tongue.
"No big deal~" Ye Bo comforted him intimately, and then explained seriously: "It's mainly because the mechanism of the Emperor's ultimate is rogue!"
"Because the Emperor's ultimate pushes from '200 yards behind' to the front, so to use displacement to 'pass through,' you have to delay the press; pressing too early might just result in being pushed back."
"Let's throw the Herald in the mid, the first tower is still ours."
Ye Bo's tone was relaxed, continuing to give his teammates confidence.
But in fact, he himself also had some urgency.
Because after this wave, EDG could be considered to have laid the foundation for most of the victory.
In an ideal state.
This wave should have been the Herald taken, and the bot lane steadily poking down the first tower.
Then relying on the Herald, it was very likely that they could tear down all three outer towers before ten minutes, compressing the development of all DK members within the range of the second tower.
In this way, two jungle zones, three minion lanes, would be left for Pyke to hunt...
"EDG took the mid lane first tower and got the first blood tower! But DK also turned to tear down the bot lane tower!"
"DK exchanged for quite a bit of economy in the bot lane; ShowMaker's Emperor, now the development is a bit good..." Guan Zeyuan seemed to feel the hidden danger.
"The first few heads were all eaten by the Emperor, plus the plating in the mid and bot lanes; his equipment is actually no worse than Pyke's."
"The good news is that Graves's development was really limited, and the Emperor's hero development cycle is also very long, and it hasn't reached the power spike yet," Wang Duoduo analyzed: "But the existence of this Emperor indeed created a lot of offensive pressure for EDG."
"Can't underestimate DK either; Three Uncle and ShowMaker's ability to find opportunities is really strong!" Rita also helped the team explain.
11 minutes, Caitlyn finally tore down the bot lane first tower, killed the dragon on the way, and then turned to attack the top tower.
But obviously, with such an advantage, the rhythm had already slowed down by a beat.
And although the mid lane first tower was pushed flat.
But the Emperor's special function was also playing a role.
The 【Sun Disc】, which lasts for 90 seconds, was set up on flat ground, becoming the Shurima defensive position of the mid lane first tower.
The minion wave that could have rushed into the mid second tower to contain was blocked outside again, and Camille was still split-pushing at the second tower in the bot lane, carrying out side-lane containment.
For a time.
The situation instead became a situation where DK tore down the bot lane first tower, and EDG instead "didn't push to the first tower"!
And, the Sun Disc also had a special mechanism—minions killed by the Sun Disc would all count as the Emperor's creep score, remotely transmitting full experience and economy!
This meant.
The Emperor could leave the mid lane alone and let the Sun Disc "develop on his behalf."
And this also led to the top lane's push progress being hindered quite a bit; if they continued to stalemate, EDG would undoubtedly be at a loss.
If Camille split-pushed for a while longer and touched the Divine Sunderer, she would also have a side-lane advantage against Aatrox.
Clearly holding a not-small advantage, but suddenly the rhythm was a bit stuck, making the EDG members fall into some anxiety.
At this time, it was still Ye Bo who stood up to stabilize the morale.
"Don't be anxious, brothers, we now have an economic advantage of at least four or five thousand!"
"And there are two more small dragons, we don't need to be anxious at all."
"Aatrox go to the bottom and push with Camille first, Maokai stay on top to protect the bot lane push; I will tie the Emperor in the mid lane."
Ye Bo arranged the layout in an orderly manner.
Of course, the economic gap was actually something he pulled out of his mouth—in fact, after the bot lane full-plating first tower was exchanged, there was less than 3k gap between the two sides.
Sure enough.
When Pyke appeared in the mid lane, he immediately successfully brought the Emperor back.
The Emperor, who had the best equipment in the team, already had a mythic item; ShowMaker chose 【Luden's】, this clearing and burst item, and the 3-1 record even had a bounty, completely identical to Pyke!
And coming to this time period, things were different from the past.
The Emperor now 1v1 against Pyke was definitely a huge advantage!
"This Pyke can't lane against me now; drag it for a while, I feel like we'll have a chance in the third dragon!" ShowMaker's voice sounded equally full of confidence.
Although this game's start wasn't smooth.
But playing until now, ShowMaker already felt quite proud.
He believed that his Emperor in this game could lead his teammates to victory!
But just at this moment.
The warning sound of Ghostwater Dive sounded again—
But at this time, the Emperor was no longer afraid, walking towards the tower calmly.
Even if Pyke's equipment was still slightly better than his, as long as he couldn't be hit by the full set, the Emperor killing the opponent was also a matter of one set!
Pyke chased and got close, revealing his figure.
He raised the steel nail straight to charge, aiming forward.
But this position... made ShowMaker suddenly notice a chance for operation!
As long as he could push Pyke into the tower, this wave would definitely have a chance to get a solo kill!
You have to know, Pyke was also the fattest person in the team, with a finishing bounty as high as 900 gold, even more than the Emperor.
Killing Pyke, the Emperor might even touch two items around 15 minutes, which was definitely a big rhythm!
Sand soldiers set up, Shurima Shuffle forward, but immediately reversed the direction of command, and then pushed the Imperial Army in mid-air, intending to push Pyke into the tower—
It was exactly the intention of the advanced Emperor technique "Reverse Parking"!
ShowMaker used this move quite skillfully.
It's just that...
Ye Bo, who had been frantically practicing the Emperor recently, knew that an Emperor with an urge to operate, when standing in front of the tower with an enemy hero, would find it hard to resist not using this move.
But the Emperor who dashed over with EQ couldn't change direction in the air.
At this moment, the Emperor was like a target—aimed at "air-picking" by the short-charging steel nail that was shot in advance!
While interrupting the E Shurima Shuffle, he also threw the Emperor behind him, throwing him out of the defensive tower range!
But 【Imperial Army Wall】 was issued in mid-air.
The Imperial Army sand soldiers still pushed out!
Pyke watched, still about to be pushed into the tower by the rushing human wall!
However, remember the small ultimate trick Ye Bo explained to Viper just now.
The Emperor's R pushes from behind → to the front.
And Pyke's E is "displacement with trajectory," unable to face "pass through" the Imperial Army Wall, otherwise he would be delayed-pushed back like Caitlyn.
But... in fact, as long as he E'd in reverse, or E'd sideways, he could do it!
The water ghost shadow rolled sideways, brushed past the Imperial Army Wall, and instantly turned around to slash Death from Below at the chicken head, forcibly pulling the oblique drowning ghost shadow back to himself!
《Walking along the sand wall triangular flip ghost slash》!
The movement trajectories of the two people seemed to intersect in the air to form two colliding triangles.
It just seemed like two people were flying in the sky.
All changes were completed within 1.5 seconds, so fast that people only felt dizzy.
Accompanied by Pyke's few stabs, the passionate prompt of the voice broadcast was transmitted.
【Shutdown!】
【EDG Ye killed DK ShowMaker!】
"Wow!!!"
"Solo kill!!!"
"ShowMaker actively attacked Ye! He wanted to become the hero who broke the situation! But he didn't know he was stepping into the ghost gate!"
"No... this wave is a bit too fast; I just saw two people flying in the sky all the time!"
The director quickly cut out the replay.
"The Emperor's QE was interrupted by the hook face-to-face, and the ultimate was dodged by Pyke's limit-side roll, and then Death from Below pulled back the ghost shadow, Pyke was equivalent to hitting with all skills..."
"My god, this is too limit! A true difference of a hair! ShowMaker was shown dizzy!"
"Ye shouted in the canyon: ShowMaker! No showing!"
Only in the 0.2x slow motion of the replay could one feel the amazement.
Facing the calm face-to-face interruption of the charge, the side-roll that was limit to the point of hair's breadth, and then the ultra-fast reverse R pulling back the ghost shadow to stun...
Any mistake in any step might change the outcome.
The venue and the broadcast room instantly erupted into an ocean of cheers.
【66666666666666】
【EDG came with a water ghost, his hook is flying in the sky!】
【It's really breaking ten thousand laws with one force! The most essential operation! All operations!】
【Ouch, Show Ge is awesome, Show Ge started sending!】
【ShowMaker? Xu Chu!】
【Only allowed to show, not allowed to show off!】
ShowMaker froze in front of the screen.
That small round face was full of expressions that were hard to understand, eyes wide open.
And after being dazed for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Run run run! Pyke might go to the top!"
"Pyke has no ultimate."
The mid-lane failure, but Pyke didn't rush to tear down the tower, but disappeared on the map.
The three people guarding the top lane first tower didn't expect that the fattest mid lane would be broken, and everything happened too fast.
Switching the screen over, I already saw Pyke Changwei hacking Laifu.
And at this time, Maokai's tree world and Renata's poison mist had both spread forward!
"Retreat retreat retreat!"
"Everyone has flash, don't save skills, don't let Pyke keep you!"
"He can't keep us; if he wants to force it, he can kill him first!"
Maokai and Renata's ultimate speeds were about the same, both very slow, it seemed more like a forcing retreat.
This wave Graves and the yellow-haired duo, all three had flash.
Not worried about being kept.
But when the terrifying warning sound of Ghostwater Dive condensed again.
"Pyke is coming, Pyke is coming!"
"Aigoo!!!"
The calmness just now suddenly became one louder than the other...
And the dark walker ghost shadow, as if drilling out from the dark shadow, suddenly appeared.
Three figures were stunned by the ghost shadow that didn't know where it came from!
Fell into heavy stun!
Followed by poison mist spreading, tree world entangling.
The two people on the LCK commentary desk held their heads and were silent; the impact of less than half a minute made them a bit unable to recover.
"Such a terrifying Pyke..." CT Ge whispered.
"What kind of operations are these!?"
The busy director's pointer slid out sparks, constantly bringing up replays.
Seeing that Pyke circled from behind the Blue Buff, opened W to dodge the vision of the second tower, and drilled into the lane grass in front of the second tower.
Immediately after—Pyke suddenly "hit the wall" with his head!
And the next instant, it was the synchronized flash dark claw that braked.
《Wall-hitting Ghost Shadow》!
DK's three people didn't see Pyke use E.
Using "Wall-hitting Ghost Shadow" + pre-command flash dark claw, he appeared and stood side-by-side with them, and then it was the entanglement of the ghost shadow.
No sign, no front swing, no reaction time.
See shadow, see stun!
Four people gathered in the top lane, the stalemated top first tower was pushed flat in an instant, continuing to force the second tower with no one to defend!
"Top lane first tower plating pushed flat! 12 minutes, top lane second tower broken one after another!"
"DK was almost hit with a group annihilation in 1 minute! Ye's Pyke led an explosive rhythm of 0-for-4!"
"The stalemated economic gap was pulled open again; the economic gap of this wave was pulled to nearly 6k in one fell swoop!"
Caitlyn's rhythm completely began to take off.
14 minutes, EDG took the second Herald.
First push the mid second tower flat, then turn to push the bottom.
A mere 17 minutes.
DK's six outer towers fell one after another.
Originally, what DK could rely on for survival was side-lane advantage and mid-game advantage; Aatrox split-pushing against Camille would definitely be harder to play the more he played, and dragging it out would definitely gradually lead to side-lane loopholes.
But they couldn't stand the constant injection of team economy into Aatrox—letting his equipment always maintain a surpassing state!
After EDG took the third dragon, they actually wanted to turn and force the bottom high ground!
Summon Herald.
Maokai directly used his ultimate to block the road, Pyke went underwater to intimidate, waiting for an opportunity on the side.
18 minutes, the bottom high-ground tower exploded with a boom.
And accompanied by the collapse of the seventh defensive tower, the economic gap between the two sides was officially pulled to the 1w mark.
The LCK commentary desk was full of wails.
"Pizza! 18 minutes, nearly ten thousand economic gap, there's no way to fight head-on!"
"The time is still too early! DK's Ezreal Manamune isn't even stacked, the Emperor is far from the power spike, and Graves bought the Umbral Glaive at 13 minutes, but by then he couldn't get out of the door!"
"Map economy is completely eroded; Pyke's threat is too great under such vision; a bit unable to get out of the door!"
"Wait... they are still operating! They don't push this crystal!"
Pushing the crystal too early, although it will cause the opponent to have the pressure of a minion lane at all times, it will also cause the bottom lane minion wave to be unable to be brought out.
That way, it's not conducive to Pyke's "hunting."
At this time, the bottom lane is bald, it can be said that whoever wants to eat the bottom lane line is like throwing themselves into a net.
Caitlyn system, strong just in this place.
Once successfully deployed, the early fall of defensive towers will soon lead to the takeover and control of jungle resources, gradually losing or even having no space for development!
This is fatal for a DK-style development carry composition.
Everyone knows.
This match is already a chronic death.
19 minutes, Ye Bo commanded the assembly of personnel to go and blow up the bottom crystal barracks.
And this subtle time point is also destined that the Dragon Soul team fight and Baron team fight will face greater minion pressure.
22 minutes.
EDG, with Dragon Soul and Baron buff, arrived in front of the high-ground gate.
Renata and Maokai again used their ultimates to block the road, and the Star Worm Aatrox, who had developed for 22 minutes, opened his ultimate to swing his great sword, turning into an "AD Kennen" in the crowd and frantically manufacturing AOE!
One slash almost cut off half the life of the support Nation-Destroying Witch who was suppressed by five levels.
One slash also directly cut out a bulging blood bar frame for Pyke.
"Pyke starts slashing!!!"
Pyke, added with 【Bailout】, was like a blood-port demon god who was not afraid of death, slashing into the crowd under the cover of double AOE of poison mist and tree world.
The crisp dagger sound was like a requiem of souls, accompanied by the X-shaped blood-red roses that appeared on the ground one after another.
【Double Kill!】
【Triple Kill!】
【Quadra Kill!】
"Four kills! Four kills! Is there a five kill!? Is there..."
"Hey! Canyon, what are you doing!"
Canyon, who survived to the end, was clearly caught by the hook, but after the golden body ended, Pyke's precise ultimate slashed down—but the five-kill prompt didn't appear.
Instead, it became the resurrection animation of the Guardian Angel.
At the same time, the equipment bar of Graves below was still changing constantly...
"Damn! He's changing equipment!"
Because Pyke slashed into the fountain, one strike missed and he was killed by the fountain laser, and the five-kill was hopeless.
"Damn! Get him!"
The other four EDG members were red-eyed, Ye Bo shouted "Tear down the house! Tear down the house!" in the voice chat but couldn't stop them.
They just had to rush into the fountain to kill Graves!
Finally, Graves, who was at the end of his rope, although his hand speed was still extremely fast to change into a set of meat equipment, still couldn't survive the anger of the four people who were ready to die!
【Ace】!
【Ace】!
Two group annihilations sounded at the same time.
But it didn't matter anymore; the three super minions were like a zombie siege, facing the exposed crystal with no one to defend, they all shot and shattered it!
