Chapter 173: Top-tier peak mind game! Mid-air gliding and swapping! One man

Although the details of the counter-kill moment couldn't be seen completely in the replay, the result brought about was obvious.

It was enough to make the passionate emotions that had just surged in the LCK live broadcast room come to an abrupt halt!

From the analysis of the team composition, it was not difficult to see that DRX had considerable pressure on the offensive rhythm and had to obtain enough advantages before the lane swap phase ended and Yuumi was liberated.

And by the time they regrouped and went out again, the dragon rhythm, which was supposed to be carried out at 5 minutes sharp, had to be delayed by at least one minute—which also meant the dragon soul rhythm would also be one minute slower.

The most critical thing was that this mid-lane attack didn't achieve any results at all.

Yone not only didn't get a kill, but Sylas actually gained an extra kill's worth of gold!

"Was this wave..." Pyosik hesitated, wanting to say whether this wave was Yone giving an opening.

But thinking of his performance in the semifinals, which seemed much worse than this, he hurriedly stopped himself and shut his mouth.

"I didn't make a mistake," Zeka gritted his teeth and hissed dully.

But he really wasn't in the mood to open his mouth to explain right now.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter," Deft was still comforting: "One for one, it's not a big loss; the dragon is just a little slower."

BeryL didn't make a sound, but was scanning and thinking on the mini-map, his lips seemed to be moving as if calculating something.

One wave missed, he wanted to find a new support point.

"Hong Changxian, you go to the dragon, let Brother Hyuk-kyu cover you."

"Star-Hoon, act a little."

The director's perspective was drifting toward the top lane, and the commentary stage was still talking about the unexpected nature of this counter-kill.

Until someone finally discovered that Lux, who had just gone out again, didn't head to the bottom lane!

"BeryL bought a pair of boots after recalling and then went straight to the top lane!"

"And he didn't even fill his health and mana! What does he want to do?"

EDG had clearly given up on the dragon just now, so they must be coming to the top quadrant to swap for some resources to help the top lane ease some early-game pressure.

Although Kingen was still forcefully kicked in the face by Camille and Sejuani, he used the follow-up Infernal Chains and a retreat-step E-Q to quickly create distance, and his health was kept relatively healthy.

However, Sejuani was clearly still in the top quadrant, and Aatrox's positioning was also relatively cowardly.

Flandre had missed a lot of farm to prevent ganks in the first few levels, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity to make up for it while having support behind him.

But Lux.

Had already silently touched the river wall from behind the first tower.

"BeryL is so detailed! He didn't walk through the jungle; he must know that Sejuani is very likely to be counter-jungling, so he deliberately chose to walk straight from the minion lane!"

"Wait... Flandre's ward just disappeared not long ago! And there are no wards nearby!"

This roam was naturally not a sudden whim of BeryL.

It was rigorous calculation and reasoning!

{Stealth Wards} have a full 3.5-minute cooldown difference in the early game, which are one carried from the start, the second refreshed at 3:30, and then the third refreshed around 6:20.

And at this moment, it was just approaching 6 minutes!

Under high-pressure laning, Camille would never allow her vision to have a blank period of more than 30 seconds—that is, one minion wave.

This meant that even if Camille didn't place the ward exactly at 3:30, it couldn't have been placed later than 4 minutes.

And a ward that can only last 1 minute and 30 seconds, at this moment, must have definitely expired!

There was another detail.

Generally speaking, because the ward cooldown difference would inevitably create vision gaps, especially in long side lanes like top and bottom, players would buy control wards to supplement during their second recall.

But don't forget, Camille in this game is not in a normal matchup!

Flandre was forced to recall and use TP at level 3, and Camille, who was behind in farm, had to squeeze out even the money for {Health Potions}, so she couldn't afford the burden of a 75-gold control ward.

After some calculations, relying on his understanding and control of vision, BeryL was certain there would be a vision blind spot in the top lane!

He directed Aatrox to be extremely cowardly, dispelling Sejuani's idea of a second crouch.

Then he raced against time to come and gank!

And the time saved by walking out of the fountain 3 seconds early without waiting for his health to be full seemed to match up at this moment.

"The last minion, but Flandre still has no awareness of the danger coming!" Wawa was extremely worried.

"Lux didn't Hexflash over the wall; he even took a big detour! He walked down from behind the first tower..."

"BeryL, what is he relying on? Is he not afraid of wards, or Sejuani crouching here? Lux also has no flash!"

"Hexflash is charging! Camille just finished last-hitting the last minion, but with no vision, she's afraid she won't be able to dodge in time!"

The steady Flandre didn't continue to move forward after last-hitting the last minion, wanting to show off against Aatrox who was blocking the lane; he just wanted to retreat directly.

But, just at the moment he separated from the minion wave.

The insidious and evil {Light Binding} was released from the bush with a flash!

Lux's light projectile trajectory wasn't fast, and Flandre also reacted—but at this time, the distance between Camille and the wall behind her was not enough to use Hookshot!

"Camille's flash hasn't refreshed... Q hit!"

Like Morgana, Lux's Q also belongs to a high-risk, high-reward skill; the 2-second control time, especially in the early game without tenacity, is enough for one person to complete the control task.

Kingen delayed W with detail, so that the slow and pull-back of Infernal Chains wouldn't "overlap control," breaking Camille's last chance to escape.

Aatrox's three-stage Q hit the edge of the blade steadily.

Although Camille still forcefully used E to try to create distance, she was eventually killed in the air by Aatrox's flash-auto-attack Deathbringer Stance!

"Flandre really had no way this time..." Wawa's tone was full of regret, trying his best to speak for his own team.

"This is impossible to think of! Mainly because the opponent was still doing the dragon, and their own Sejuani was actually in the opponent's top jungle, just a wall away from Lux's path!"

"Acceptable, at least the minion wave was pushed over, and the death won't cause the wave to explode," Miller also helped round it off.

"It's just that Camille's laning will definitely be more uncomfortable..."

A dragon's wail came from the bottom quadrant.

EDG's bottom lane just took one and a half plates while the opponent's AD was recalling.

And both mid laners had no TP, and their own jungler was counter-jungling in the top quadrant; anyway, they weren't contesting the dragon, so they just recalled directly, and naturally, there was no chance to discover the abnormality.

No one would have thought.

That ward outside the dragon pit, which hadn't dissipated yet, clearly saw the AD go back to lane to help with the dragon, but the support was actually gone again!

This one ward was continuously utilized by DRX twice!

Barrier had no other choice; after counter-jungling, he recalled directly on the spot, not daring to linger in the jungle too much to prevent being surrounded by Lux again.

"It's not a big problem, Flandre, don't be anxious, the advantage is behind us!" Ye Bo comforted him and didn't forget to remind him.

"By the way, if they want to play like this, you have to be careful if the opponent will continue to mess with you; I feel Lux might be about to self-destruct."

"You have to leave E against the wall, this way Lux won't be able to catch you easily~"

During the draft, the commentary stage bluntly stated that BeryL's Lux pick was actually a clearly countered disadvantageous matchup, a bit of a "forced pick."

Lux in the bottom lane facing Sivir and Yuumi can neither poke effectively nor is it basically possible to force an initiation on the AD to coordinate with a gank—after all, the bottom lane theoretically only has "one person," and there is a spell shield for protection.

There was no opportunity in the bottom lane, so naturally, he could only find opportunities in other lanes.

As for why Ye Bo gave the second reminder.

It was just because he was thinking from "his own perspective"... If he were this Lux, he would also want to attack the gap that had finally been torn open.

"Hmm," Flandre replied softly: "I can hold steady, flash will be up soon."

Camille, having received the reminder, went to the triangle bush to place a control ward extremely carefully after returning to lane.

Then, when returning to the lane, she stayed close to the wall and slowly touched toward the top lane's first bush step by step—at this distance, if someone was crouching in the bush, Camille could immediately forcefully use E to shoot at the wall and then kick back to the tower!

She probed into the bush nervously; there was no enemy situation.

She immediately stopped and didn't move forward.

As long as she confirmed that the first bush, the most dangerous position, had no enemy, Camille would stay close to the wall at all times when laning; even if Lux really came, she could forcefully use E to hard-top the control displacement!

Ye Bo had also used the technique of {Rooting and forcefully using Hookshot}.

At this moment.

In the second bush, Aatrox, who had TP'd back after recalling, was crouching with Lux, who hadn't recalled.

Kingen was a bit hesitant: "Doesn't feel like it's working; this person is too careful, if there's no chance, should we forget it?"

"I think so too, if the opponent is like this, they might go to dive Brother Hyuk-kyu," Pyosik also echoed: "Should I go and hang behind the bottom tower to protect?"

"No!" BeryL said decisively: "This Camille must be tried this time; her flash hasn't refreshed yet, if we don't kill her, there will be no chance."

"The opponent will very likely come to contest the Rift Herald, we need this Herald!"

BeryL knew very well that because there was a disadvantage in the mid lane, Aatrox's top lane advantage was at most enough to balance the two, not enough to win the Herald fight!

And Yuumi could come to join the five-man fight for the Herald; neither side had level six, unless Lux could hit a key person—otherwise, Yuumi's five-man fight utility would definitely be greater than his!

"Hong Changxian, you go to the mid lane to watch Sylas, don't let him have a chance to go bottom for a four-man dive, it's best if you can force his ultimate or flash," BeryL first affirmed, then said with a bit of hesitation: "As for Brother Hyuk-kyu..."

Deft decisively took the initiative: "Don't worry about me, listen to Geon-hee."

BeryL hummed: "Then get ready, I'll start with Hexflash."

But at this moment, Kingen saw Camille's wall-hugging positioning and suddenly remembered something: "Wait, Camille's E can be used while being rooted by your Q; his positioning should be consciously defending against you!"

"Is our vision exposed?!"

Kingen clearly also knew this mechanism of Camille, and from the opponent's wall-hugging positioning, saw that it was clearly conscious defense.

BeryL shook his head extremely firmly, knowing it was impossible for the opponent to have lane vision to see their position.

And even after hearing this technique reminder, he still didn't give up the idea.

It's just that the chat box was suddenly pressed with a system prompt... and then Lux waited for a few more seconds.

"Are DRX's top and support still crouching? They seem determined to move on Camille! But Flandre is too steady!"

"Although Aatrox greedily took a plate after pushing the wave before recalling, if he saves TP and goes to lane slowly, it's reasonable, but if he doesn't appear again, he's been gone too long and will definitely be detected!"

"BeryL seems to finally be unable to hold back and wants to make a move!"

Lux's Hexflash began to charge.

Flandre, in a situation where his economy was already very poor, couldn't not farm, but he always maintained his positioning cautiously, always ensuring he could E to the wall at any time, and kept Ye Bo's reminder in mind.

Lux repeated the old trick and used Flash-Q to initiate!

But Lux's Q flight speed was really slow, and Flandre could still react—but he didn't rush to use E at the first moment.

Because Ye Bo had reminded him that Camille's E1 can forcefully shoot to the wall for displacement—but that's because E1 is essentially not classified as a {movement skill}—but E2 is a movement skill!

That is to say, if you use E1 to pull away after being controlled, and you are still carrying the control effect while attached to the wall, then E2's kick cannot be used!

Lux's Q can control for 2 seconds, but Camille can only stay on the wall for 1 second.

Camille was not far from the wall this time, the E1 displacement distance was very short, and she wasn't afraid of being interrupted by Aatrox; what she could rely on was E2 "turning the corner" to instantly create distance.

Flandre timed it perfectly.

Seeing Aatrox finish Q1, and the control time of Light Binding was more than halfway over, he immediately used Hookshot!

Camille's rooted figure was forcefully pulled out, and it was expected that the control time would end exactly at the moment of landing, and then she would use E2 to kick back and create distance!

"Flandre is so detailed today!"

"The opponent's initiation is clearly extremely forced! Camille can successfully waste a lot of time for the opponent's top and support, and won't have too much..."

But just as Camille kicked out.

There was still a golden light, flashing in front of her.

"Lux used Flash to block Camille's second-stage E!!!"

"Wait, what?! How did this Lux use two flashes!"

BeryL, who knew this operation, thought of a solution.

Clearly, if Lux didn't use "flash-Q-flash from the bush," but just threw a straight Q from a long distance, with sufficient reaction time, Camille, who was steady in positioning, might have just E'd to the wall and left.

And wanting to chase Hookshot with her feet after walking out was clearly unrealistic...

So BeryL used two flashes!

That was the flash cooldown refreshing, {Hexflash} was instantly replaced by {True Flash}.

The first flash was the bottom lane flash-Q misdirection, and then the second double-gank in the top lane; plus Lux leveled {Cosmic Insight}, flash had already refreshed quite a bit in advance!

Almost at the moment of Hexflash, the 3-second cooldown of the reset flash also immediately started timing!

Counting the flight time of Q, it was just enough to block Camille's foot as she kicked out!

The system message BeryL just pressed... was using Ctrl+F to check his remaining flash cooldown.

"Aatrox has a Serrated Dirk and the damage is very high! Camille couldn't flip over the wall to create distance, and was slowed and damaged by Lucent Singularity!"

"It's over!!!"

When Camille fell again, the LPL commentary stage let out a sigh.

Lee Xuanjun actually already felt the abnormality.

After all, Aatrox had been missing for quite a while; he even stayed steady enough not to farm the minions near the second bush.

But the problem is, could he, in a situation where he was already at a huge disadvantage, not be sure if someone was there and just retreat out of the experience range to AFK!?

"B~e~r~y~l!!!" The Roaring Emperor took out Chovy's lung capacity and shouted desperately.

"DRX's chain attack found an opportunity in the top lane again! Aatrox got a double kill, and Camille has no TP! She died as soon as she went to lane!"

"Camille is about to collapse! There's no way to lane anymore, right!" CT couldn't wait to show off: "Although you can find our members in poor condition in the mid lane, we can also find your weak points!"

"This is the battle of top-tier strong teams! This is our dark horse miracle DRX!"

Before the words fell, the perspective cut to the mid lane at light speed.

Viego initiated a gank on the mid lane at 7 minutes, but Ye Bo was more careful after the previous encounter and didn't give an opening; seeing Yone stack wind, he immediately became fully vigilant.

DRX's mid and jungle had no flash and couldn't surprise attack; Sylas used a bewitching {Abduct} to dodge Heartbreaker, walked away leisurely, and even stole Viego's ultimate to save his life.

And EDG also immediately turned to want to exert force on the bottom lane.

But another small flaw of Yuumi was exploited—diving is too weak!

She can't tank, has no stable hard control, and the damage increase ability is {percentage AP/AD}, which is only as strong as the host.

The values in the early game were not high to begin with, especially since the AD was Sivir.

If EDG's bottom lane wanted to dive, at least three people would have to come together; the bottom duo alone had no threat at all!

And when Sejuani came to the bottom lane.

Deft's Varus had already realized it and pulled away in advance, and also used his long-range advantage to last-hit the majority before the wave entered the tower, ensuring his development to the greatest extent!

In fact.

Those with a heart could already perceive—as a strong OP hero in the meta, Yuumi's flaws shouldn't be so obvious, or rather, shouldn't have such an impact.

And the reason why such an effect could be achieved.

It was entirely because DRX was utilizing these flaws to initiate attacks!

Including the design of weak level-one combat, the quadrant contest of weak laning, the strong roaming without the ability to roam, and the rhythm ability of being unable to dive alone.

Of course, the barrage definitely had people who only looked at the results.

【Can Flandre stop feeding!】

【Oh, awesome, this is also called feeding? The opponent's draft is targeted, the whole team is holding the top laner to play, and still doing this kind of targeting, and it's a disadvantageous matchup; who else could hold up?】

【Why does Yuumi look a bit like a trap? Can the opponent's support run like this?】

【Feels like it's Meiko's problem, there is also a gap between champion supports! Last year playing against DK, the support was a bit invisible, today is still invisible!】

【MD, can't you look at even a little disadvantage? Do you really think DRX is a soft persimmon that won't fight back, and this is just the beginning, so anxious to settle accounts!】

【Can only say, don't be anxious, EDG looks like they came to fight a nest!】

Fortunately, at this time, a banner appeared below the live broadcast, and the barrage was suddenly purified by a wave of 【OP】.

"KFC brings the OP player! BeryL, who led two consecutive attacks!" Miller hurriedly inserted a commercial and changed the subject.

"Here we also see that player BeryL, after these two kills, successfully surpassed the second-place Meiko with 667 assists, reaching the number one assist count in S-series history!"

Wawa followed up tacitly: "BeryL has reached the top of the assist list with only 4 World Championship experiences; I have to say this player really has something."

The director's banner also displayed the top three on the assist list.

Besides the top two support players, the third place is the old but strong Faker.

However, just as Wang Duoduo wanted to chat along this topic, he was suddenly attracted by the nervously changing battle situation again.

"Lux didn't recall! BeryL's attack is still continuing, he is still going to the mid lane!"

"But his health is very low this time, is BeryL really not afraid of death? This feels like he will die if he is touched!"

When Lux went out, to catch the time difference, she didn't recover to full health to begin with.

This time, he used his face to block the hookshot with flash, and Camille, seeing she couldn't escape, naturally kicked him a few times with all her might.

Lux's health only had one-third left; going to the mid lane like this looks like seeking death!

Not much, the well-equipped Sylas only needs at most one W-A, and he could completely stomp the mere level-four Lux to death!

But the commentary stage didn't realize it.

Is there a possibility.

BeryL, is deliberately wanting to "send death"?

"Brother Hyuk-kyu, you let one more wave of minions, at most one wave!" BeryL's voice was extremely firm: "Their jungler can't not go to the top, otherwise this Camille can't play at all, wait for the two in the bottom lane to have no way to deal with you!"

"Hong Changxian, you also come out directly to help push, after reaching level six go to the top, I'll sell!"

"Force his ultimate and flash out, force them out and this Herald will already be ours!"

BeryL's thinking was extremely clear.

Lux has no kills, which is only worth three hundred gold.

But this time he didn't recall, directly using this time to "trick" Sylas into killing himself, using his life to swap out the opponent's ultimate and flash—in less than a minute, the opponent will have no bargaining chips for the Herald fight!

Not to mention, if Sylas really comes to kill him, he might even be swapped!

And if Ye Bo doesn't go up, and just watches this Lux, who can be stomped to death with one foot, not make a move—then Lux can also come to the mid lane to help forcefully push the wave, and then take Yone and Viego together to head to the top lane again!

Sylas is forced to push the wave, and the opponent has three people in the top quadrant, unable to follow.

If you catch my bottom, I'll just give it to you, using three people to hard-swap your top!

Anyway, Varus having one more wave or one less wave of minions, it's impossible to reach level six.

But if Camille is blocked again this time, it's very likely that level 8 will hit level 6, and the equipment gap in the Herald fight will be equivalent to missing one person!

EDG's three people in the bottom lane can't possibly push down the first tower with less than two waves of minions before 8 minutes.

As long as the Herald can be taken, DRX can easily snatch the first blood tower!

So, no matter if Sylas goes up or not—this is a clear strategy!

Lux appeared in the mid lane swaggeringly.

"Lux has no flash," Flandre said, although the volume wasn't loud, it still sounded emotionally stable.

"Master Ye, should I come? Or should I go to save Flandre?" Barrier hesitated in the bottom lane.

Ye Bo glanced at Lux's movements; the meaning of the lure couldn't be more obvious.

And seeing the Viego who also walked out directly below, he immediately understood the opponent's intention.

Clearly, no matter if he goes up or not this time, because Sejuani is in the bottom lane and it's difficult to cross a map to run to the top, it's already very difficult to stop the opponent's subsequent actions.

"Don't come, Barrier, you just help push in the bottom lane, we'll snatch the first tower!"

After saying that.

Sylas resolutely dashed E forward!

BeryL on the other side was still instructing: "If he uses E or R to kill me, then hit flash; if he flashes W, I can stick to his face and Q him..."

"Coming!"

It was R {Hijack - Final Spark} starting!

Lux didn't hesitate at all, holding a determined heart to die and moving forward to cast Q, Yone's reaction was even faster, immediately using E, and Viego was also accumulating W.

However.

Just as Sylas raised Viego's sword, golden light flickered, driving his body to fold-flash at a strange angle—and before that, a chain quietly shot out from under his body to the side, flying toward Viego on the right!

The point-blank must-hit Q Light Binding was dodged by a strange "mid-air change of direction."

And the King's Sword was stuck in the ground, blooming with black mist, and Lux was instantly beheaded.

But the next moment, everyone opened their eyes wide, only to see Sylas's body not even landing, and he flew toward Viego without obstruction!

{Fold-Flash Final Spark}!

Heartbreaker was interrupted, and the direction Yone was charging was also empty.

According to the plan, if Sylas started close-range, he would inevitably land and eat the full control chain; no matter what, there were three people focusing fire on the field, and Sylas would inevitably fall into a dangerous situation!

But at this moment, the battlefield was separated.

Not only that, because Light Binding was dodged, Sylas's body didn't receive any obstruction, and he didn't eat a single control throughout the whole process!

"Wow, what is this operation! Looks a bit handsome!"

"Wait a minute, Sylas's damage is very high!"

Sylas landed E2-A-Q to extract Viego, Electrocute exploded, and the damage was astonishing!

Viego crouched in the top lane in the early game; although he didn't lose out in terms of economy, he lost some experience, just not much, and he would definitely reach level six before 8 minutes or after this wave of minions.

The original plan was for Lux to Q, Yone to connect Q wind, and Viego to walk over and W to continue control.

Sylas facing the focus fire would very likely face the situation of being controlled to death!

But because Sylas changed his position, dodged Lux's Q, and also used E to interrupt Viego's charging W—at this moment, the opponent actually couldn't hit Sylas for a while!

"Don't use ultimate!!" BeryL hurriedly shouted to remind him.

If Yone also used his ultimate this time, unless he could 100% kill Sylas, his coming to "send" a kill would really become "sending a kill," and there would be no meaning to carding the ultimate cooldown.

But it wasn't just that Sylas's damage completely exceeded expectations, more importantly... Yone's ultimate might not hit!

The key is the R-Flash of Final Spark!

{Although the unstoppable effect can force displacement, if you eat control, you will still be affected by the control effect upon landing. }

If there was no mid-air fold-flash, even if Sylas used this "Great Move of Heaven and Earth to swap positions," he would continue to be rooted upon landing.

Then Yone R would turn and throw, blocking for Viego and connecting W control, and Sylas would still very likely be controlled to death!

But at this time, no one could restrict the opponent first.

Yone could naturally try to bare the longest-range R, and there was a chance of hitting—if Zeka chose it himself, he might just do it.

But hearing the command, Zeka gritted his teeth and held it back.

"Viego is equivalent to eating all of Sylas's skills, and was directly beaten to low health for nothing!"

"Fortunately, Yone blew wind to save his teammate, but this way, Viego seems to have to recall!"

"What kind of acrobatic performance is this wave of shifting positions, the trickster Sylas! Final Spark allowed Sylas to perform a magical displacement, flying around in the sky!"

Wang Duoduo passionately opened his mic: "One man guards the pass, ten thousand men cannot open! Master Ye forcefully held off three people by himself! And even plucked the enemy general's head from the midst of ten thousand armies!"

BeryL's plan deviated.

From his shocked eyes, it could be seen that, very clearly, he didn't expect it could be like this either.

In this way, Sylas's health was healthy, the mid-lane minion wave couldn't be pushed in, and Viego was low health and had to recall.

The top lane also couldn't use two people to forcefully interfere, couldn't suppress Camille to death, and couldn't force Sejuani to come up.

Fortunately, the most core purpose didn't seem to be affected.

Because Yone held onto his ultimate, DRX still mastered the key extra ultimate, plus the 2-0 advantage in the top lane, and the Herald fight advantage was huge.

EDG decisively gave up.

However, the foreshadowing of the previous wave was displayed.

"Sejuani stayed in the bottom lane for nearly a minute! Letting Varus miss two waves of minions, and coordinated with the bottom lane teammates to quickly push the first tower!"

"Although Aatrox has a huge advantage, you are only one person, there is no reason to dive my Camille! The top tower health under Camille's protection hasn't been worn down too much!"

"DRX finished the Herald and wanted to go to the top lane to contest the first blood tower... but it seems they are not as fast as EDG!!!"

The LPL commentary stage boosted their morale after the kill a minute ago, and the volume was extremely loud.

The jungler was beaten back to recall in the previous wave, and the intention of letting the top lane coordinate to wear down health and force Sejuani back to the top failed, directly leading to a huge disparity in the health of the first blood towers on both sides!

Sylas also ran to the bottom lane directly, but if anyone came to defend, they would have to face a strong four-man dive.

In the end, EDG's bottom lane took the first blood tower with a huge health advantage, and turned to defend the top lane first!

"The bottom duo went to the top lane to help block the Herald, and the second tower is also not threatened; this Herald doesn't seem to have earned much." CT said hesitantly.

"It's not that it didn't earn much, it's a loss." The Roaring Emperor, who had been paying attention to the economy gap, gave a positive answer.

"We lost 600 gold in this exchange; besides the first blood tower, there was also Lux's head."

The first towers on the top and bottom sides were broken at the same time.

Less than 10 minutes in, they entered the lane swap phase.

And Yuumi also started to hang on the jungler to perform rhythm linkage after reaching level six.

Aatrox swapped to the most dangerous bottom lane to face the fattest Sylas, while Yone ran to the top lane to split-push with Camille, the two ADs confronted each other in the mid lane, and the supports were running around.

However, because the opponent's position was uncertain, the two fattest people in the bottom lane had no reason to make a move.

A brief calm.

11 minutes, the second dragon refreshed.

Five people gathered, Camille and Yone also rushed to participate in the battle, clearly both having the will to fight.

"Due to the economic reversal of the previous wave, now it's even EDG with a slight advantage! This wave of team fighting is definitely worth taking!" Wawa said confidently.

"The advantage is with us!"

And on the other side of the LCK commentary stage.

"DRX must take this dragon! They cannot accept the delay of the dragon soul rhythm!" The Roaring Emperor also believed that his side had the advantage.

"In terms of combat power, the opponent's mid and bottom are very fat, our top and jungle are very fat... and both sides have initiation ability, feels like it depends on who can initiate a good fight!"

"As long as Viego can hit the shell, with Aatrox as the bottom line, the advantage in this wave is with us!"

Before the battle, both sides confronted each other in the upper and lower river.

Both were looking for opportunities.

The advantage of EDG's team composition is that Sejuani can boldly stand in front, and all five people have initiation ability, while at the same time, key carries Sylas and Sivir are very difficult to be initiated on!

And the advantage of DRX's team composition is the double poke in the bottom lane, and all three in the mid and bottom have initiation and counter-initiation ability; if they stalemate, they are clearly at an advantage.

Sylas took the opportunity to steal {Fate Sealed}, which is most useful for team fighting, and then let Yuumi swap to himself, waiting for an opportunity.

But DRX showed extremely strong team synergy.

Five people maintained an "ambiguous" positioning at all times, fully exerting the advantage of the double-poke team composition, slowly pushing the distance to the front of the dragon pit, seemingly gradually occupying a favorable terrain.

But in fact, this was intentional under Ye Bo's command.

"Q the dragon!"

Yuumi released a Prowling Projectile, relying on the flight distance extended by the second stage, startling the dragon!

This made the DRX crowd, who had finally occupied a favorable terrain in front of the dragon pit, suddenly have to face the pressure of the dragon, either retreating to give up the position or having to withstand the dragon's attack!

However, BeryL, the commander on the other side, quickly made a response.

"Use that one!"

The personnel on both sides shifted their positioning again; the members of DRX, like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey, actually seemed to be setting up a stance to forcefully contest the small dragon!

Barrier, who received the command to "initiate on Aatrox and Viego," suddenly discovered that the opponent, because of being startled by the dragon, appeared to have a perfect opportunity.

The good opportunity for initiation is fleeting; this is by no means a moment that can be captured by team collaboration, only an initiator with a hunter's instinct can seize it.

Aatrox stood in front, the back row was close, and the opponent's three melee heroes were still standing in a row—even if someone flashed to dodge this time, they would definitely be able to hit the ultimate, and could also deal area control!

Sejuani threw out the Glacial Prison, but didn't flash.

The flight path of Sejuani's single Glacial Prison is actually not fast, and it is easy to react to.

Just at this moment.

Yone seemed to be waiting for this moment, suddenly exerted force to split and charge forward, taking the prison for his teammate in one step, and then turned back instantly upon closing the blade!

"Zeka! He used the 'control cancellation' operation of Yone's E skill to eat Sejuani's ultimate! Using his body as a shield!"

"Varus counter-initiated with his ultimate to bind Sejuani!" Miller was heartbroken.

"This is actually DRX's trap, they used such a bold operation to lure the enemy deep!"

Yone's equipment was the worst, and he couldn't count on him to use E-R to deal output right now; using E skill to block the initiation wouldn't affect much.

More importantly... Varus's counter-initiated {Chain of Corruption} hit Sejuani, directly separating the battlefield!

Chain of Corruption will continue to spread to the surroundings; Camille and Sylas, who were just preparing to enter the fight together, couldn't stand still and eat control, and could only retreat at the first moment.

This caused Sejuani's position to be instantly isolated from her teammates!

Sivir turned on her ultimate to approach, wanting to give Sejuani acceleration.

But DRX, how could they easily let go of the pork they got their hands on.

Lux connected the Q skill control, and the five people didn't chase deep, just wanting to behead Sejuani first, and relying on the numerical advantage and the jungler advantage to steadily take this dragon!

Everyone thought that EDG should only be able to sell Sejuani and give up this dragon; this also seemed to be the most loss-stopping method...

But also because the opponent's crowd was focusing fire on Sejuani, who was controlled and unable to move.

Ye Bo also saw an opportunity.

Naturally, it couldn't be Yone's ultimate charging in head-on—not to mention that his position had already been forced back by the withered vines, and the distance was not enough.

Even if he had just used R head-on counter-intuitively.

With the extremely long {cast time} of Yone's ultimate, in the eyes of professional players, it was no different from slow motion.

Without terrain assistance, using it head-on foolishly, and without Yone's own spirit returning—with the reaction of several people on the opponent's side, it was more than enough to hand over displacement skills, and Sylas would just be sending himself into the tiger's mouth for nothing!

"Look at my position!"

Racing against time, he only had time to say four words.

This new EDG team has walked to this point, in half a year, countless tacit understandings formed in actual combat, countless miracles witnessed with their own eyes.

Although no one knew what Ye Bo wanted to do, everyone immediately understood and pressed forward again.

"Master Ye, what are you going to do!?"

"Ye, what is he going to do!!!"

Both commentary stages issued sharp screams simultaneously.

And the Sylas who retreated didn't walk back like his teammates, but alone with the cat, "fled" the battlefield backward.

A side-step {Abduct} crossed the corner.

The sound of the chain breaking through the air exploded on the dragon pit rock wall!

At the same time, the surging sword energy spread around his body, and the scarlet sword aura, like a rainbow piercing the sun, condensed out of thin air—but what it aimed at was a "crooked to the sky" 100% empty-big virtual direction!

"Big!!!"

The cat on his shoulder instantly opened {Magical Book}, also in a very inexplicable direction, the notes seemed to be resonating with the sword energy!

A shocking scene appeared.

When Sylas slid toward the dragon pit along the chain, the Fate Sealed that should have missed drifted in parallel with his body—a super-distance strike of a full 3000 yards, the scarlet sword frame and sword energy completed the accumulation in DRX's vision blind spot!

When Sylas slid in the air, the shocking sword energy had already used the air as a starting point, and kicked back toward the river with unstoppable force!

{Gliding Swap Fate Sealed}!

When the sealed sword energy wrapped the three people and strangled them into the high altitude, the Magical Book released in advance had already begun to play the second melody.

When the victims fell to the ground, the third stage of the binding notes had transformed into invisible shackles, popping out a third segment of {Binding} that could last for 1.75 seconds upon landing from the knock-up!

DRX's three melee heroes fell into a stiffness like puppets, and what greeted them was the bone-chilling whip punishment, as well as the blood-colored storm of flying wheels and steel legs!

"Holy shit!!!"

"Ah, Xiba!!!"

"What the fuck!!!"

The audience was neatly echoing something with different pronunciations but the same meaning.
