Chapter 169: Reverse Ear-Covering Theft

Lee Sin also recalled the vision information from the start of the game.

When they were defending the jungle just now, they happened to be almost face-to-face with Akali.

According to the details of the "ward duration" revealed by the sweeper, it could be 100% confirmed that it was the ward placed by Akali.

A level 1 ward can only last for 90 seconds, but it has a 240-second cooldown; the second ward won't refresh until nearly four minutes—so as long as a ward is used at level 1, it will inevitably fall into a vacancy loophole before three and a half minutes.

This is also why in various level 1 designs, there are rarely {five wards out} defenses, because it is easy to expose new flaws.

Pyosik looked at the mid lane through the screen and chose to speed-run to level 3 for a gank.

Lee Sin is different from Viego; he has no crowd control skills before level 6, and ganking relies more on his high burst damage and sustained combat ability in the early game. Moreover, Lee Sin starting with W at level 1 is common sense for clearing the jungle, and to gain full combat power, he needs to reach level 3.

However, Pyosik also had a little thought.

After Viego killed the bot lane, it was almost an open secret that he would go to Lee Sin's bottom jungle to invade.

It was clear that he wanted to use this opening design to force the rhythm that EDG likes to use: forcing a swap of the offensive half of the map.

Logically speaking.

The best decision for Lee Sin in this wave was to run to the opponent's blue jungle to swap immediately, grasping this "safest time."

But Pyosik didn't; instead, he chose to clear his own top jungle with the fastest route.

The purpose of doing this is simple: at 2 minutes 20 seconds when the jungle reaches level 3, the minion wave for the mid lane to reach level 3 hasn't arrived yet!

The jungler will have the opportunity to catch a level 2 with level 3. In the semi-finals, the little P-player used this trick to launch surprise attacks on Faker in two consecutive games, resulting in one flash and one kill!

Crucially, this is hard to defend against.

If the mid laner chooses to play passively and give up the lane to prevent a gank, then the opponent's mid lane can grasp the level difference, push the minion wave into the tower, and then launch a surprise support attack on the jungle.

And the side with the minion wave under the tower has no qualification to move!

So even if they know that this level 2 wave is very dangerous, they can only defend by placing vision and then carefully positioning.

But unfortunately, there is no ward in the mid lane!

Although Pyosik contributed many "stolen dragon" dark moments in the semi-finals, which seemed to leave people with the impression of being "bad."

But clearly, a team that can reach this point cannot have anyone who is truly very bad.

Perhaps slightly inferior in smite ability or luck, but in terms of grasping the timing of ganks and the coordination of team attacks, Pyosik is absolutely worthy of the level of a final's jungler.

2 minutes 20 seconds.

Lee Sin successfully reached level 3 and was ready to move, and Kingen in the top lane also sent information immediately after seeing Ornn disappear.

"Ornn went to place a ward, in the river position."

"OK."

Although he received this information, in fact, before the jungle monsters were even cleared, Lee Sin's screen had been locked on the mid lane, with a clear goal.

He saw Akali's undiminished desire to trade health.

Speaking of which.

The mid lane matchup of Sylas and Akali can be considered a very classic and common mid lane matchup in S12, and it has appeared in many previous matches.

Both of these heroes belong to {melee heroes} who are "strong at fighting" but "weak at pushing lanes." Their hero attributes are very similar, and both have the characteristic of weak long-range last-hitting means.

Therefore, this is a matchup that is very difficult to maintain "peace."

Unless both are incredibly tacit and only auto-attack to last-hit, if one side has a strong desire to fight, the other side must never back down; otherwise, the laning phase can easily be snowballed!

Not to mention, the laning styles of Ye Bo and Zeka have already destined that the health trades will be very bloody.

"I'll initiate; after one trade, he'll have to return to base and use TP... wait, it seems you can initiate."

Zeka just spoke, only to find that Akali's positioning seemed to have a problem.

The next wave of minions had just arrived.

Akali's positioning, however, actively leaned toward the top half of the map.

And there—it was exactly the direction Lee Sin was about to arrive!

The opportunity was fleeting; they didn't have time to think about why the opponent would lean in when they knew the jungler was very likely in this half of the map. This was an excellent opportunity for Lee Sin to start!

The original plan was to let Sylas try to initiate with EW, first baiting out Akali's displacement E, and then Lee Sin would use W to get close and use Q.

Whether Lee Sin is ganking or fighting, the most important thing is for the Q skill to hit.

And Akali's position in this wave had already entered the range where Lee Sin could directly initiate with a mid-range Q!

The flight trajectory of Sonic Wave is not slow at all, and it is extremely difficult to dodge a "blind vision" shot.

The bald donkey in the bush aimed and kicked out {Sonic Wave}, and Sylas took a half-step back and lunged forward!

However.

Just as the bald donkey in the bush raised his toes... Akali almost synchronously flashed backward, using the E skill's Shuriken Flip to kick back, as if anticipating it, making the sound wave brush past!

"Ah?" Pyosik was full of suspicion.

"His reaction isn't right, is it?!"

Both of them saw it clearly, as if Lee Sin's sound wave hadn't even flown out of the bush, and Akali had already synchronously pressed Shuriken Flip—this didn't look like dodging based on "reaction" at all!

And Sylas's first E was detailedly half a step slower than Lee Sin's; Akali had no reason to use this E at all!

It's just that.

The next moment, Pyosik knew the answer.

Because at this time, a withered Stealth Ward was revealed by Lee Sin's feet.

Revealing the fact that Lee Sin was "camping on a ward" just now.

"There's a ward!?"

With a ward, this scene just now seemed reasonable.

After all, the difficulty of dodging with vision and without vision is worlds apart, and this is not a difficult task for most professional players.

But something that made Pyosik even more confused appeared.

Why would there be a ward in this bush?!

They clearly watched Akali place the ward at level 1, and Akali never approached this bush throughout the laning phase; the two of them had been watching this!

The answer was ready to come out, and there could only be one.

This is not Akali's ward.

And being able to last until 2:45 now means it was placed at 1:15, so it could never have been placed by the three people who were too late to return to lane from the bottom half.

"Aish... this Ornn is also playing smoke bombs!" Pyosik, who felt he was being played around, snorted angrily.

Clearly, Ornn's disappearance from the minion wave right on time, deliberately leaning toward the river, was just like a "reverse ear-covering theft"!

Ornn is originally a hero that is not easy to catch, and he "clearly" told you that a ward was placed in this river position. Any jungler with a normal mindset wouldn't want to come to the top—and would also avoid this intersection.

BeryL didn't know what happened.

But looking at the screen, he found that Lee Sin, who had walked halfway, suddenly turned back again.

"Why haven't you gone to swap the jungle? This Viego has probably already finished your bottom jungle."

"No, I feel this Akali's positioning is a bit too arrogant... My Q has 10 seconds left anyway, I have to wait." Pyosik wanted to try again.

Although Akali and Sylas were both about to reach level 3, their health was indeed not very healthy.

More importantly, Pyosik asked Zeka about the cooldown of Akali's E skill.

He got an incredibly certain and clear "16 seconds"!

A 6-second cooldown difference, Akali has no key E skill displacement, and being hit by Lee Sin's Q almost inevitably means she has to flash!

As for {Twilight Shroud}.

That is useless for Lee Sin, who is already blind and locates through sound waves!

And Akali also seemed to believe that Lee Sin had to go to hit the Blue Buff and didn't dare to delay, and Sylas didn't have the E skill, so the posture of the health trade didn't change at all.

Ten seconds.

Akali's positioning was clever, relying on the Q skill's Kunai casting distance to continuously consume Sylas. As long as she didn't greedily hit the passive when she didn't have E and W, it was hard to be caught by Sylas's E skill.

But at this moment, Zeka found an extremely small gap.

"Come!"

Sylas feigned using the Q skill to hit minions, forcing Akali to move backward. In an instant, he lunged forward with E, used W to stab and instantly kill a minion, and then threw out the chain from the gap between the two minions!

Akali was hit by the chain in the gap and was stunned and knocked up. Lee Sin immediately followed up with Sonic Wave and successfully hit!

Although it seemed that Sylas used all his skills to hit minions.

But according to the cooldown calculation, Akali's E skill had at least three seconds left.

Akali couldn't pull away the distance immediately. In the situation where Twilight Shroud couldn't protect her, if she didn't want to flash, she would have to be beaten by the two of them for three seconds in place!

But who said Lee Sin could definitely break the invisibility?

In the air where Resonating Strike kicked, Akali pressed W extremely fast and successfully escaped into the shadows before Lee Sin landed after the 0.75-second stun.

Lee Sin immediately patted the ground with the E skill, {Tempest}, wanting to pull the person out of the smoke bomb!

But he only patted out a phantom that flashed by.

The Roaring Emperor on the LCK commentary desk was just shouting "Hit," and suddenly his whole body leaned forward.

"Can't he pat it out!?"

It's not that he can't pat it out.

In fact, Lee Sin's E skill does have a {reveal} effect that is almost the same as the Q skill's {true vision}.

The only difference between the two is—{reveal} must be used before entering invisibility to reveal the invisible unit.

So as long as Akali enters Twilight Shroud first, and Lee Sin pats E later, he won't be able to pat her out!

This is the skill mechanism linkage between Lee Sin's E and Akali's W. Ye Bo had used Sylas to steal Lee Sin's ultimate, so he knew this point.

This is also why.

Ye Bo knew Lee Sin was camping in the bush but deliberately came up to give him the position.

Lee Sin was hit by Akali's AQE Electrocute in Twilight Shroud, was pulled away, had no extra skills to pursue, and could only give up helplessly.

Just as Pyosik walked into the bush at the entrance of the jungle.

He finally knew why Akali just now seemed to be deliberately giving him the position, as if she knew his position...

"Why is there a control ward here!?"

There was actually a control ward in the bush at the entrance of the jungle!

So Lee Sin's move of walking halfway and then unwillingly turning back was actually exposed to the opponent's vision!

No need to say more.

A simple analysis shows—it's Ornn again!

The basic laning technique that every Ornn uses is to only buy 150 potions when leaving the base, last-hit a few minions, and then use {Living Forge} to build a Doran's Shield, so as to gain the greatest laning advantage.

Therefore, when Sejuani saw Ornn arriving in lane with only {Refillable Potion}, he wouldn't have any suspicion.

He couldn't see through the equipment bar either.

Whether there were 350 gold left in Ornn's pocket, or 275 gold left.

"Why do they play like this..." Pyosik was a bit confused, feeling his CPU was about to burn.

"What do you mean?" BeryL asked upon hearing the sound.

"Akali came to place a ward at level 1, then the top laner came to place a protective ward for him, and then there's a control ward here... but Akali clearly knew I was there, and still gave me the opportunity?"

Pyosik complained while starting to hit the Blue Buff.

He had already delayed for two waves in the mid lane, spending more than twenty seconds just waiting for the Q skill cooldown, and his jungle clearing progress had fallen behind, so he didn't dare to stop for a second.

But these words.

Suddenly made BeryL, who was struggling with the turrets in the bot lane, feel uneasy.

"No, it seems wrong..."

"It's all wrong!!"

A lightning bolt seemed to pass through BeryL's mind, and his voice became a bit more urgent: "Hong Changxian, be careful! They might be moving on you!"

"Viego, he might be near you!"

BeryL knew the depth of this opponent and couldn't do meaningless things.

Akali's first ward could be said to be to cooperate with the level 1 design and cover up the intention.

Including letting Ornn place a ward in the mid lane river before arriving in lane, and then acting on time at the river, these all make sense.

But it started to be wrong later.

Although BeryL's hands are a bit slow, his brain turns fast—stringing everything together, he instantly thought of a possibility.

Suppose Viego didn't clear Lee Sin's bottom blue jungle after killing the bot lane, or even returned to base on the spot.

Then Ornn's acting in the river might not just be to cover the mid lane—it was also to let Lee Sin take the initiative to avoid the top river and only enter the jungle from the bottom river entrance.

And that control ward at the bottom entrance could monitor and grasp Lee Sin's movements of entering his own jungle at all times.

Then the question comes.

Since it's already clear that it's forcing a jungle swap, Lee Sin's position is originally an open secret; why go to such great lengths to grasp his whereabouts?

The answer still seems to be only one.

After hearing BeryL's urgent warning, Pyosik also felt uneasy and hurriedly used the reset {Sweeper} to detect the surroundings.

The sweeper he used at level 1, since he hadn't returned to base, naturally hadn't been changed yet.

If there was no such warning, assuming the opponent's jungler was in the bottom jungle, Lee Sin would have no threat and would have no reason to use this precious gank sweeper to sweep this kind of place.

But it was right under his feet—inside the Blue Buff bush.

A Stealth Ward that was clearly placed just now was revealed.

The mid and top wards hadn't been reset, and they hadn't left the lane, so there was only one owner of this vision.

"He seems to have discovered it!"

Hiding behind the wall, Jie Jie, who was originally prepared to use Smite to steal the Blue, was a bit surprised.

In his view, their design this time was unexpectedly smooth!

Due to the positioning deception in the top lane and the control ward at the jungle entrance, Viego could easily make various different response strategies based on Lee Sin's movements.

Seeing that Lee Sin didn't come to swap the jungle at level 2, Viego chose to return to base after finishing the Blue Buff, preparing to use Smite to steal over the wall at level 2.

Later, he found that Lee Sin had actually turned back to the mid lane—Akali deliberately sold a flaw to delay Lee Sin's pace, allowing Viego to finish the Wolves and reach level 3.

According to the expected plot development, Lee Sin should have been solved by Viego alone after a struggle with the Blue Buff.

But at this time, seeing that the opponent seemed to have noticed the movement, Ye Bo immediately realized that the plan had changed and got up to support: "Sheng Qiang Ge, come and surround him!"

"Lee Sin has no wards!"

The mid and top teammates of DRX had already sent a signal.

At the same time, Viego, who had replenished his first-blood equipment and just finished the Wolves to reach level 3, had already taken the Blast Cone to Lee Sin's eyes!

Chain of Corruption initiated face-to-face!

Pyosik gritted his teeth, still wanting to forcibly take the buff first.

This isn't him being greedy.

It's because he has no wards on him, and {Safeguard} cannot be used for displacement!

His only reliance is having one extra flash, and facing Viego, who clearly has a combat power gap, this flash of Lee Sin is also likely to be lost—since that's the case, he must eat the resources as much as possible before flashing!

"Lee Sin and Viego are going to fight for Smite... Stolen!" Wa Wa shouted loudly.

"Lee Sin's Q has already been used, Pyosik didn't win the Smite against Jie Jie! And Lee Sin is already trapped in heavy encirclement; this wave is likely to be a 3v3 between the top, mid, and jungle of both sides!"

"But if they fight 3v3, DragonX is definitely at a disadvantage! Viego has first-blood equipment, and Lee Sin is in poor condition. As long as they can kill one, DRX might explode this wave!"

DRX's voice channel was also asking for opinions.

"Fight or not!?"

BeryL once again made a clear-headed command: "Don't fight! Don't fight! It's best if no one uses flash; if you can't save him, sell him!"

The top and mid duo who originally wanted to rescue immediately braked.

And Pyosik also made up his mind, not running out at all, using Q to displace to the Gromp in the corner, and drilling directly into the depths of the opponent's jungle!

"Lee Sin still has flash, Viego without flash cannot pursue alone, the top and mid duo must help to surround and suppress."

"The head is finally collected by Viego... although the mid and top didn't even touch the assists, this jungle wave is still a big profit!"

The commentary desk made a positive conclusion and also explained for the opponent.

"DRX's act of cutting off the wrist to survive this wave is quite decisive. Lee Sin's trinket is currently a sweeper, and it's actually hard to survive! If they really fight a frontal team battle, it won't just be as simple as losing one Lee Sin!"

Wang Duoduo analyzed seriously: "Mainly feel that EDG's vision control this wave has something..."

【Like catching the mid lane, right! You'll have a hard time!】

【Little P is really dead bad, it's a blessing to have him on Deft's last journey~】

【Indeed, can't win the Smite for the dragon, can't win the buff either?】

【Looking at it, it's intentional. This is deliberately padding the small guarantee, waiting to stabilize the big guarantee and not lose the dragon. Afraid you don't know, Little P is also OP!】

【Then it makes sense! Little P is definitely the mole added to DRX. After all, the Origin team can only have four people!】

The barrage didn't fully see the game this wave, and they were all criticizing the jungler.

But in fact, EDG's level 1 design for Heimerdinger was because BeryL was too obsessed with lane priority and lost some health, and catching first blood was an unexpected gain.

And such a painstaking design naturally couldn't just be for the situation in the bot lane.

The subsequent chain attacks on the jungle were the key!

Although this wave had some twists and turns because the opponent noticed, causing the mid and top to lose some minion waves.

Fortunately, the core purpose can still be implemented smoothly.

BeryL on the other side was a bit shocked.

He didn't expect that it was really what he thought. He didn't expect that the opponent's level 1 offensive was just the beginning, and it was one ring after another; it was really possible to fall into the abyss if you stepped on the air!

And he didn't expect that the real offensive had just begun.

"Eh? Jie Jie is not clearing his own top jungle here, is he still going to the opponent's bottom jungle?"

"This 1v1 in the jungle might be hard to say... Lee Sin is actually not afraid of Viego in 1v1. Viego hasn't returned to base, the equipment gap between the two is not big, and Lee Sin has one more flash..."

"But EDG's bot lane seems to be able to move!"

The real process of this level 1 design is to {get the bot lane advantage} → {drive the opponent's jungler back to the bottom half of the jungle} → {then use the bot lane advantage to "forcibly radiate" the jungle} → {thereby affecting all four people except the top laner}!

At this time, Lee Sin, who returned to the bottom half of the jungle, was facing a dilemma.

His own top jungle had no monsters, and if Lee Sin went to the opponent's top jungle again, not to mention whether the opponent would come to find him, the loss of experience and time alone was immeasurable!

"Can you come!?" Pyosik asked for help urgently.

DRX's bot lane couldn't even protect themselves at this time.

The minion wave suppression achieved at level 1 in the bot lane didn't come for nothing. Standing under the tower, the two of them were enduring the long-range poke of Varus and Heimerdinger every wave, and their health could never be corrected to the space where they could perform health-trading games.

However, Miss Fortune support does have a miraculous effect against Heimerdinger. As long as the level is slightly higher, there will definitely be a day when she turns it back.

But now, if they forcibly endure the disadvantage and go to the jungle to fight, it might really be a disaster!

Just as BeryL was still thinking.

The director's camera suddenly cut back to the mid lane.

"Akali and Sylas are both in bad condition... both sides are fighting so fiercely!"

Although the two were in poor condition, they were still very active, and no one returned to base first.

Akali relied on the opponent's jungler being dead, and Sylas relied on Akali not being able to cooperate with Viego to gank, both of them were stubbornly staying in lane.

Both of them didn't make any mistakes in health trading, but because of this, they were almost always on the edge of the kill line, both wanting to find flaws in each other.

"Can the mid lane return to base and TP out?" BeryL asked thoughtfully.

"Hard to return," Zeka, who was fully focused, didn't dare to be distracted and just replied simply.

Akali had been pressing the minion wave forward, just to not let Sylas have the opportunity to return to base and TP.

If Sylas wanted to forcibly return to base, the 8 seconds to return + 4.5 seconds to TP, a total of 12 seconds, would definitely be enough for Akali to push the minion wave into the tower.

By then, even if Sylas forcibly TP'd out, he would have to face a large wave of tower minions and wouldn't be able to move, which is equivalent to losing the laning initiative and not being able to protect the jungle.

"If I want to return... I can only return after killing him." Zeka, who retreated to wait for the cooldown, said slowly: "He shouldn't return to base actively."

"Are you sure?" Although BeryL was very confident in his mid laner, he remained cautious, "If you're not sure, don't force it. If it really doesn't work, you can accept losing a little and use that system."

Zeka didn't reply again.

But it was clear he already had an idea.

Examining the mid lane health line, you would find that Sylas's condition was actually a cut lower than Akali's.

In the case where both sides didn't make mistakes in health trading, this is the normal health trading state in the early game.

After all, the healing amount of {Kingslayer} only has an additional bonus when below half health, and both sides don't use E. Akali is a {energy hero} who focuses on Q, so relying purely on mutual Q skill consumption, Akali is definitely more dominant.

Sylas's strong point is after level 6, and when he has certain equipment and levels, there will be a situation where Akali can't kill Sylas in one combo, but Sylas can kill Akali in one combo in return.

Akali brought the minion wave forward again.

Sylas, as before, stood in the center of his own minion wave and swayed, taking a Kunai hit to press forward.

If Akali doesn't use W to increase energy before level 5, she can only use one Kunai. After taking Q, Sylas needs to press forward to force the opponent to use Twilight Shroud, so that it doesn't count as being consumed for nothing, and he can go to card Akali's Twilight Shroud cooldown to fight back.

Akali immediately sprinkled Twilight Shroud.

However, Ye Bo also had some thoughts at this time, carefully adjusting his position in Twilight Shroud.

Pulling out the passive {Assassin's Mark}.

Akali suddenly raised her hand to auto-attack!

And Sylas, who had been aiming with the mouse, locked onto the revealed Akali and stabbed with W instantly!

But just as Kingslayer was stabbed out, Sylas's body was pulled forward and rushed out by a step—just bringing Sylas out of the cover of the first three minions!

Sylas's W is actually a "short displacement skill" with a range of up to 400 yards.

It's just that if the distance from the target is less than 250 yards when casting, Sylas will almost not move at all, which is why it often feels like an "in-place W."

And in this wave, the position Akali adjusted in Twilight Shroud was exactly the distance of about 250 yards.

Not more, not less, just enough to "pull" Sylas out for a distance, keeping him away from the minion pile!

That is, at the same time Kingslayer was stabbed out, a Shuriken Flip was thrown forward almost simultaneously, almost hitting the eyebrows of the few minions behind Sylas, and hit it head-on!

But although this wave was the distance Ye Bo actively adjusted—but in fact, it was also the distance Zeka actively maintained!

He originally only needed to stand 100 yards behind the melee minions to ensure that when Akali could hit the passive auto-attack, Sylas's W short displacement distance wouldn't take him out of the minion pile.

But he wanted to use his body as a game.

According to Zeka's calculation, the damage in this E is not fatal... but it might cause Akali's life!

Sylas ran backward frantically.

Akali paused for a second in place, as if she couldn't resist the devil's temptation after all, and raised the second stage of the E skill, Shuriken Flip, wanting to kick that consumption!

Zeka's eyes exploded.

Sylas didn't have any movement at first, waiting for the second stage of Shuriken Flip to be about to hit his body—only then did he suddenly explode!

Lunge + Flash, two consecutive displacements to counter-attack into the tower!

Akali's E2 speed was already very fast, Sylas still pressed to the speed of approaching to get up, and Akali was brought into the defensive tower range—landing and throwing out the {Strong Arm} chain backward!

Intending to interrupt the displacement and fix her under the tower!

There are only two results for this wave.

Akali reacts, exchanges a flash to interrupt her own E2, but inevitably will take a defensive tower hit, her health instantly becomes unbalanced and she has to return to base first, and she has to lose the minion wave that failed to push into the tower.

Or, Akali fails to react, and after being brought under the tower, she is hit by Sylas's second-stage counter-attack {Strong Arm}, interrupting the E skill displacement and {knocking her up} under the tower, following up with AQ to kill Akali first!

The worst, worst result is 1 for 1.

But 1 for 1, not to mention Akali losing the minion wave, because the minion wave failed to be pushed into the tower, Sylas could go to rescue the bottom jungle after TPing out.

It can be called breaking the dilemma with one force!

It's just that.

Ye Bo made a third response that Zeka didn't think of.

Just as he saw Sylas's body explode, Ye Bo had already thought of what the opponent wanted to do—because he had used this move before!

And just as he saw the chain flying out, Akali's body suddenly flashed with golden light.

But she didn't interrupt her own E2 backward—she rushed forward!

To be precise, it was a {parallel oblique E-flash} to the left side of Sylas at a right angle!

Zeka's eyes suddenly became terrified.

Because the Shuriken Flip kick not only didn't lose damage, but the output that was clearly "not quite right" made Sylas's health bar plummet... and the {Strong Arm} chain was almost "face-to-face" dodged!

{Since Sylas deleted the "EQ" mechanism in 2019, if the Strong Arm chain fails to hit, the Q skill must wait for the chain to complete the entire process before it can be cast}

That is to say, this E of Sylas being dodged not only means that the key control cannot be hit, but also that he cannot perform other operations for 0.5 seconds!

Akali took advantage of this half-second time difference, pinching the death quagmire where Sylas fell into the passive "Strong Arm stiffness."

At the moment of landing, she took the lead in raising her hand for a clean QA Electrocute, stabbing straight into the eyebrows!

Sylas fell painfully clutching his chest.

【EDG Ye killed DRX Zeka!】

Zeka had a murderous heart for him, and Ye Bo naturally always had a murderous heart.

Both sides were on the edge of the kill line, and a few dozen points of damage might lead to huge differences.

Therefore, Akali, who had just reached level 4, had been keeping a skill point unused, just wanting to see if the opponent would give an opportunity.

{Akali's Q only increases damage by 25 points per level, but E increases damage by 70 points per level}

One more level of E skill is almost equivalent to the instantaneous burst increase of one more Q, which is enough to become an unknown in damage calculation!

Akali instantly upgraded E in the air to supplement damage, landed and side-flashed to dodge the chain, and took the lead to complete this extreme solo kill!

And because Akali didn't take Sylas's subsequent EQA damage.

She resisted two defensive tower hits and walked out of the tower with double-digit health!

The clash of assassins.

Often it's just a matter of proximity, a matter of life and death!

One step difference, worlds apart!

Everything happened so suddenly, truly fleeting.

So much so that the whole scene, except for the noisy commotion that erupted instantly, didn't even see what happened before seeing the kill result!

"Solo kill!!!"
