Chapter 209: Star-Dome Dragon Rage! A Thousand Peaks Burn to Ash! Martial Arts Secret Manual!
Ye Bo is wearing a look of deep worry.
The main thing is that even now, he still hasn't figured out why, and can't even understand why he died.
However, he is very clear that if the Aurelion Sol really has a way to push the wave and roam, then he will almost have no way to face him head-on in the lane!
The damage of the new Aurelion Sol's Q ability is far more terrifying than Akshan's "long-range poke," and the only way to avoid it is to not give him the distance.
But this is destined to lead to losing control of the minion wave!
After all, Ryze's mana pool in the early game cannot possibly be enough to just use abilities to push the wave, and without being able to auto-attack minions, there is no way he can compete for lane priority.
The members of JDG heard about the level two death in the mid lane; although they all had some private complaints, as long as they were thinking clearly, they all knew that they couldn't put pressure on the mid lane at this moment, so they all tacitly refrained from questioning or blaming.
Ye Bo is not a person who likes to talk.
He also began to go invisible and play dead, pretending that nothing had happened.
But this also resulted in the others not actually knowing what happened in the mid lane, only assuming that Ryze must have made a huge mistake to be solo-killed.
Both mid laners teleported back out.
After reaching level three, Kanavi continued to head out to counter-jungle.
In his view, although Ryze was killed once, the Aurelion Sol's early-game weakness was still unavoidable; one kill could not possibly give this champion any qualitative improvement.
Of course, it was mainly because he believed there was no reason for Xun to return.
After all, there was only one camp of wolves left in the top-side jungle; Kanavi, putting himself in Xun's perspective, thought that as long as Sylas farmed normally, he could gain an advantage, so there was no reason to come to the top side to clash head-on with him, and even less reason to predict his movements.
But in fact, V5 had already successfully predicted Kanavi's whereabouts.
The reason is simply that they knew—Kanavi is the type of person who cannot accept losses in the jungle, or "sacrificial" ganks!
In a situation where he had already lost so much at the start, and there were no opportunities for mid or top ganks, the opponent would never let this jungle monster go.
Putting himself in the opponent's shoes, if one wants to ensure growth to the greatest extent, one naturally has to reset and refresh their safest top red-side jungle as soon as possible—so Viego's jungle path is not hard to analyze.
"Kanavi is about to get caught!"
"Sylas actually recalled directly after clearing the opponent's blue-side jungle, and then headed straight for the top-side wolves; it's obvious he's going to arrest Viego!"
"Sylas even bought items! This 1v1 is definitely going to be interesting!"
Xun walked into the jungle without panic.
Sure enough, he saw a Viego who was clearing the wolves.
"Master Ye! He's really here!"
"Coming!"
The Aurelion Sol, who had started pushing the minion wave the moment he arrived in lane, moved quickly.
"Aurelion Sol is coming."
Ryze also immediately reported the information, but the support would inevitably be a step slow—Ye Bo hadn't mentioned this point just now.
Of course, it's estimated that even if he had said it, Kanavi would still have gone.
Listening to the mid laner's blurry accent, which was even heavier than his own, Kanavi's first reaction was to be stunned for a moment; his language system didn't recognize the content.
Fortunately, he noticed the mini-map himself and discovered the Aurelion Sol's movement.
Seeing Ryze's position, he knew he couldn't run toward the mid lane.
"369, look at me!" Kanavi still called for his most reliable wolf spirit.
Jayce, who inevitably had lane priority in the top lane, could also move early and would certainly be a step faster than Sion.
In this way, the support speed of both sides was actually equal!
"Aurelion Sol can arrive first with his W. However, Kanavi is very greedy; he didn't leave directly and still wants to force-eat these wolves!"
Kanavi's position at this moment was already a bit awkward; deep in the wolf pit, he either had to turn left and collide head-on with Sylas, or turn right and get closer to the Aurelion Sol's direction—no matter which way he went, it was wrong.
So he simply chose to force-eat the wolves!
Anyway, Jayce could arrive to support first, and Ryze was also following; there shouldn't be any life-threatening danger in a 3v3.
It's just that he would likely not be able to save his Flash; Viego would have to lose a summoner spell in this exchange no matter what.
But Kanavi clearly thought of more.
While auto-attacking the big wolf, he leaned against the upper edge of the wolf pit.
As a player skilled in counter-jungling and jungle mind games, Kanavi had a good habit—when invading the jungle, he wouldn't hit the blast cones randomly, always leaving himself a backup plan.
Just now, when he entered the wolf pit, he deliberately didn't hit the cone, choosing to take a slightly longer route.
This is a detail that many junglers wouldn't notice.
And Sylas had already walked into the wolf pit, using an E to dash into the pit, preparing to flex his muscles.
Immediately after, Xun heard Ye Bo's urgent voice.
"Xun, hold your ability! He might Flash-W to hit the cone!"
"Follow with Flash, use E first, then hit the cone slowly!"
Ye Bo didn't have time to explain further; he could only clarify his operational strategy for Sylas in a concise and quick manner.
This is where the difference in "comprehension" is reflected.
Xun's understanding of Sylas was clearly not as good as Ye Bo's, but he was also skilled in operational thinking; after running through the operation Ye Bo mentioned in his mind, he understood the opponent's intention.
Viego used an auto-attack followed by Smite to instantly kill the big wolf, and immediately Flashed over the wall!
And the moment he landed, he followed up with an instant W dash!
Kanavi was also a jungle carry player known for his mechanics, and he had thought a lot about this play.
If Sylas guessed his thoughts and flashed simultaneously to try to steal the blast cone auto-attack, Viego's Flash-W over the wall would land and dash to the outside of the blast cone—then Sylas's Flash-auto would only help him get knocked away!
Thinking a step further.
Because Sylas had held his E2, Viego's landing W could also instantly create enough distance, not giving Sylas a chance to E over the wall to chase.
Kanavi could not be called anything but cunning.
If it were just the young Xun, the most likely outcome would be the first, most common way: E into the wall, dump all abilities at once—then see Viego Flash and immediately follow with Flash, only to be knocked back by Viego's landing W-auto, wasting it for nothing.
And if that happened... the loss of at least a Flash that Viego would have suffered in this exchange could be forcibly leveled out!
At the very least, Viego could escape safely and avoid this disaster.
It was just such a small step in processing difference, a hair's breadth.
Yet it was enough to change the subsequent development.
Sylas indeed followed with Flash and used E the moment he landed.
Seeing this, Kanavi was not alarmed but happy, immediately stopping his hand that was preparing to hit the blast cone.
He had also thought of this Sylas play, but this was actually the most favorable way—because it would lead to Sylas being brought to the side of the displaced Viego, and then "bounced together" into the blue buff pit by Viego!
Jayce had already arrived at the entrance of the blue-side jungle.
Sylas flashing in would only lead to him being the first to fall into the encirclement of the opponent's top and jungle, and the situation would immediately reverse!
As long as Jayce flashed over to focus fire, even if Aurelion Sol could reach the battlefield, the two of them could completely kill the Flash-less Sylas first.
Viego would then take over the opponent's body, and in the end, it might turn out that V5 couldn't win!
But just at this moment.
Sylas, who had already thrown out his chain, suddenly released the link, whipping the blast cone!
{Sylas's E2 can use Flash, W, R, or auto-attack before hitting the target—but once the unit enters the "dash state" upon hitting, these actions are disabled}
The chain flight requires a short amount of time.
But the auto-attack to pop the blast cone is instantaneous.
There is a fleeting time difference between the two.
And it was seen that just as Viego's figure was knocked up and flying toward the wall, he was instantly hit by a chain, forcibly pulled down from the air to the spot!
"Forced Crash Landing!"
"Viego didn't manage to fly over the wall!!"
"Aurelion Sol has already flown over with W; Kanavi has no Flash to get over the wall again, and 369 can't really save him even if he wants to!"
Separated by a wall, it seems not far apart.
But this is the inner corner of the blue-side jungle, meaning that unless Jayce continues to Flash over the wall and go deep, he has no way to focus fire with Viego.
And in this position, Aurelion Sol's speed to reach the battlefield was too fast.
【Starry Convergence】 A black hole suddenly appeared, covering the ground under Viego's feet; Aurelion Sol and Sylas took the lead to focus all their fire on the Viego who had nowhere to escape!
Kanavi knew there was no turning back, so he hurriedly called for the wolf spirit to return to the lane.
"Viego has fallen," Wawa wailed in response: "So painful, this exchange; did Kanavi really have to be so greedy for the jungle monster instead of leaving at the first opportunity?"
"No, no, no, this was Xun playing well!"
Zoom shook his head in praise and analyzed: "Even if Viego had flashed directly, the outcome would have been the same; the position where Sylas E'd in could definitely have followed the Flash. The main thing is that Xun's micro-play this time was too clever!"
"Don't look at it as just being interrupted; Viego, unable to get over the wall again, had nowhere to escape. After all, this is V5's jungle!"
"First the jungle design at the start, then predicting the opponent's jungler's movements and striking decisively; this limit micro-play makes it feel like Kanavi was dizzy from the jungle!"
【Left Hand: Is it possible that only I am not good enough?】
【Kanavi is purely throwing this game; he saw people coming and still insisted on being greedy for the jungle monster, zero discipline. I can only suggest he go sit at the same table as his brother!】
【Xun is right! Xun is just right!】
【These two new V5 junglers seem to really have something; did they open an SSR? Feels like they aren't worse than Jiejie and the two Weis.】
【Wrong, the truth is actually the charm of the Balanced Network and the Teyvat Network!】
The V5 voice comms were also filled with the players encouraging each other.
"Well played, Xun!"
Ye Bo felt that it was quite impressive that the other party could quickly understand his meaning and execute it steadily.
"Oh my, it's all thanks to your good teaching, Master Ye!" Xun, being sensible, quickly added a rainbow-fart compliment.
Beryl continued to remind them: "Nice, nice, just follow what we envisioned."
After completing the kill, Sylas continued toward the upper river to kill the Scuttle Crab.
Furthermore, after the kill, Sylas did not recall on the spot, but instead deliberately walked toward the top lane, seemingly wanting to attempt a gank to put some pressure on Jayce.
The respawned Kanavi already looked somewhat gloomy.
Having been repeatedly obstructed at the start of the game, how could he not feel miserable inside!
Seeing Sylas appear in the upper half of the map, and then through the change in the creep score, he immediately knew that the other party must have just finished the upper Scuttle Crab.
Viego headed straight for the lower river to clear the Scuttle Crab as soon as he left the base.
Then Kanavi fell into a dilemma.
It was obvious that Sylas was coming to clear the lower red buff quadrant after leaving the base.
Plus the issues with the mid and bottom minion waves revealed earlier, and the fact that Sylas had exchanged for an item advantage, Viego still dared not enter the opponent's red quadrant.
But now the lower blue quadrant was completely empty, while the upper quadrant, which Viego had deliberately cleared according to his route, was about to respawn.
However, considering Sylas was in the bottom, Viego could theoretically consider counter-ganking in the lower quadrant; after all, V5's dual-marksman bottom lane was pushing the wave.
He didn't struggle for too long.
To be precise, he only struggled for a moment before Kanavi immediately set off for the upper quadrant.
Ruler saw Viego in the lower river and had just said half a sentence in Korean, "This wave can come..." — only to see the jungler walk away without even looking back!
There was absolutely no intention of caring about their bottom lane.
With a slightly flushed face, Ruler suppressed the urge to nag and focused on maintaining his positioning and spacing.
But the laning phase in the bottom lane was truly a form of torture!
"This Caitlyn support, it feels a bit shameless!"
"Relying on her range advantage to poke Kalista until she doubts life; Ruler has never suffered like this, it feels even harder to play against than Ashe!"
Compared to Ashe, who was banned by JDG in the first round and is also not easy for Kalista to play against.
At least Ashe had no mobility, and with her mid-range, there was a risk of being forced into a fight by Kalista, so Ruler still had a chance to fight back relying on his mechanics and spacing.
But against Caitlyn, he was truly left speechless by the poking!
With a full 125 yards of extra range, plus the front-facing slow from her E, even if Kalista found an opportunity to engage, it was difficult to start a fight.
Unable to engage, Renata couldn't help much and could only hang a shield to help alleviate the pressure.
Mainly, the poke ability of these two people on the opposite side was stronger than imagined!
The dual {Hail of Blades} setup made it almost impossible for Kalista to maintain a safe health pool; one careless step meant "bang-bang-bang-bang-bang" with four or five rapid shots!
It had Ruler feeling a bit tilted.
The most excessive part was that Sylas hadn't even finished clearing the lower quadrant.
He just finished the buff to reach level four, came straight to the river, and E-dashed over the wall in front of JDG's vision to intimidate them — forcing the not-so-healthy JDG bottom duo to recall.
"The jungler came over to help drive them away, and in just over four minutes, a plating has already been pushed down in the bottom lane! The pressure is too great!"
"And with the JDG bottom lane recalling, the five-minute dragon is destined to be in V5's pocket!"
"It feels like this V5 is playing a very new game rhythm!?"
Watching this scene from backstage, Homme felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Standing from a god's-eye view, he actually understood every choice Kanavi made perfectly.
Because these few choices were almost inevitable results under the opponent's design.
What was important was that Homme discovered that this seemingly outrageous bottom lane combination of theirs had actually created a situation he had never expected under the coordination of the jungle.
"Dual ADC bottom lane has this kind of effect?"
Homme looked at that Piltover Sheriff, lost in thought.
A great coach never relies solely on their own interpretation of the meta — after all, everyone has different strengths, and no matter how advanced one person's ideas are, they are one-sided.
Ye Bo and Beryl were the same.
During the World Championship quarterfinals, Ye Bo had finished watching all the matches of the 16 teams in the group stage by himself, and Beryl was even a long-time practitioner of "meditation training," specifically watching replays.
Both of them extracted scattered key points from various understandings and then improved and kneaded them into their own things.
As a coach who is at least in the top three of the LPL, Homme obviously had this "learning" ability as well.
Of course, coaches or players in other regions might also have many people with this ability.
As for this understanding of "Dual Marksmen," it was indeed Beryl's latest brainwave.
After all, Ye Bo didn't play the bottom lane, so he had blind spots regarding the bottom lane ecosystem and the global understanding observed from the bottom lane perspective, making it hard to think of such a "bizarre" understanding.
And this seemingly outrageous thing of dual marksmen.
In essence, it was a product of Beryl's evolution from his favorite Ashe support.
Since Ashe can support.
Then couldn't other marksmen also have the possibility of supporting?
Ashe's unique advantage lies in the functionality of her E for scouting vision and her R for initiating fights.
Jhin's advantage lies in the same functionality plus special hero counters, and Twitch's advantage lies in his one-of-a-kind roaming ability plus hero counters.
Then what about Caitlyn?
The "Caitlyn System" that became the fatal weakness of the entire LPL in the S12 World Championship is the answer!
A Caitlyn who doesn't need to worry about last-hitting.
Obviously, she would be a terrifyingly efficient and shameless existence for poking.
The boost from dual {Hail of Blades}, although it lowered their skirmishing and team-fighting ability quite a bit — but perhaps, those abilities weren't needed at all?
Poor JDG, they could be considered the best experimental subjects for this lineup, which was truly beginning to take shape as a system.
At 5 minutes, V5 secured the first dragon.
At 7 minutes, due to the operational advantage in the jungle early on, Viego was unable to get close to the lower quadrant at all.
V5 felt almost no pressure from the jungler, and the bottom lane pushed down two platings directly; it was simply playing out the perfect Caitlyn system rhythm!
Both mid-laners were farming safely in the middle; there was really no need for Ryze and Aurelion Sol, the two major magic cores, to move forcefully.
"Can you come bottom?" Ruler finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Why are these two people pushing so hard? If you don't come, the tower is going to be poked down by them!"
But the JDG voice chat was very quiet.
No one paid him any mind.
The mid-laner seemed to be invisible, and the jungler might have been too lazy to bother.
Fortunately, Missing was there to soothe his AD: "Don't rush, don't rush. Let's see if they want to go for the Rift Herald this wave. If they don't take the Herald, we can all-in at level six; if they do take the Herald, we aren't afraid of fighting either."
And Kanavi, at this moment, had already gone to the area behind the top lane on his own.
"This wave, let's catch Sion and force his skills; we can fight the 3v3 at the Herald."
Jayce is a hero without an ultimate.
If they could force out Sion's ultimate, even if they couldn't kill him, it would win them some resources.
Kanavi had been focusing on farming during this period, and relying on his jungle-clearing efficiency advantage, his level was even slightly higher than the 1-0 Sylas.
However, this was also because Sylas had been constantly protecting the pushes in the mid and bottom lanes, exerting his full effort to fulfill his early-game intimidation goals.
"Sylas is in the middle!"
Sylas's figure appeared on the mid-lane minimap, launching another attack on Ryze.
Fortunately, Knight's mechanics were still on point; he used EWQ to root Aurelion Sol, triggered the double speed boost from Q Spell Flux and Phase Rush, and ran back into the tower while tanking the Abduction and Kingslayer, saving his Flash.
Seeing this, the top lane stopped pretending as well.
Viego snuck into the tri-bush, and because exiting from the lower path of the tri-bush would expose him, he directly cast his E, Harrowed Path!
Anyway, Sion had Flash and R; it would be hard to kill him in one go this time.
Kanavi was just trying to force out his skills.
Flandre obviously understood the opponent's intention in catching him; he retreated immediately without wanting to use his skills, turned around while using his W, and charged at Viego, using EQ to try to slow him.
Jayce used a counter-hammer to interrupt him, and the two continued to chase and hack at each other.
But Flandre's thinking was clear: he just wouldn't use his skills.
Anyway, he had Teleport; at worst, he would just Teleport back!
Sion's Q cooldown would be reduced to 2 seconds if interrupted, and just before reaching the tower, Sion turned around and gave Viego a fierce Q, walking back under the tower with a little less than half health.
Sion, who maxed Q, had high damage, and Viego could be considered to have taken all of the opponent's skills, his health also dropping near half.
Mainly, Kanavi himself didn't want to use his ultimate; after all, trading ultimates wasn't profitable for him, and forcing out a Teleport plus some plating was acceptable; his health was enough to go back to farm and recover.
But at this moment, a voice finally came from the middle lane.
"Mid and jungle are missing!"
The mid and jungle duo, having cleared the minion wave, had already disappeared from the map.
Even more frightening was the second half of the sentence: "Sylas has my ultimate!"
Hearing this half-sentence, Kalista and Renata, who were defending the tower in the bottom lane, almost wanted to abandon the tower and retreat immediately.
But 【Interdimensional Warp】 had not yet appeared in any vision, and JDG could not judge whether the opponent was going top or bottom.
"You come top, come top! If they dive bottom, 369 can use Teleport to defend!" Kanavi made the command with clear thinking.
Upon hearing this, Ryze also canceled his recall and immediately set off for the upper quadrant, specifically choosing to detour from behind his own jungle to avoid being ambushed in the jungle.
The JDG top and jungle duo also retreated safely.
But who would have thought that the silhouette of a giant dragon below had already flown into view!
"Sylas stole Warp and bypassed the tri-brush vision! Bringing the Aurelion Sol, the two of them are surrounding from the rear!"
"This looks like the spot from that match against Top Esports where Master Ye played Ryze! xun has definitely been schooled!"
Seeing the retreat route blocked, there was also a Sion behind them who had already started his ultimate and was charging over.
Only at moments like this can one prove why this JDG team was able to perform at their peak during the early Spring Split when everyone else was still in the process of gelling.
Because their overall raw strength is truly top-tier.
It is not "paper strength" like BLG last year, but this year's genuine, comprehensive combat effectiveness.
"Come, come, fight!"
Seeing their retreat blocked, the top and jungle duo ran toward the alcove almost in unison, buying time for their Ryze.
Although Ryze was taking a detour, a Ryze in poor condition could never have flown directly into their faces with his ultimate; he just needed to walk two more steps to reach his own tier-one tower—there was still enough time!
The key is that they had also just ganked Sion a moment ago.
Although Viego had been hit by a full counter-combo, Sion's health was undoubtedly in even worse shape.
It looked like a three-on-two.
But Sion had a chance to be killed first, which meant Sion couldn't engage immediately, otherwise, he would just be handing a "shell" to Viego.
At that point, the battle might shift in an instant!
One must know {Sion produces a shell immediately upon death; he does not need to wait for the "zombie" state to die to produce a shell}.
And {Viego also possesses the 【Heartbreaker】 passive when possessing Sion's corpse}, making the combat power of the possessed shell quite formidable!
But at this moment, one could also see the profound intent of Ye Bo.
Why did Aurelion Sol rush to fly in first, even though he and Sylas landed at the same time?
It was because Aurelion Sol, having completed his item, relied on his decent health and held both his ultimate and Flash, confident he wouldn't be bursted down.
Aurelion Sol was intending to tank the first wave of damage for Sion!
Furthermore, Aurelion Sol's flight speed was extremely fast; he had already flown into their faces and released a Singularity at his feet, beginning to spew dragon breath!
Naturally, the two could not just let Aurelion Sol deal damage.
Viego immediately charged up his Heartbreaker, trying to interrupt the dragon breath.
But the moment Ye Bo saw Viego move, he immediately threw his ultimate, 【Falling Star】, at his own feet with a tricky angle!
It is easy to react to Aurelion Sol's ultimate; one just needs to Flash.
However, Kanavi suddenly realized.
The 【Singularity】 the opponent previously cast was covering his rear, Sylas had already circled around to the front of the tower, and Sion was chasing from below.
His retreat angles were almost completely sealed off!
In all three directions, no matter where he flashed, he would just be moving to another spot to receive a beating!
And the light of the genuine Warp had arrived; they needed to stall the battle.
"69, save your skills!"
Viego did not use Flash, letting the Falling Star hit him and stun him for a second.
At the same time, Sion behind them simultaneously activated his ultimate, 【Unstoppable Onslaught】, turning into a death train!
In the direction of this impact, even if Viego used Flash to dodge, Jayce was still behind him!
And if they could force out two Flashes.
Clearly, Sion could also use Flash afterward to create distance so the opponent couldn't chase, and instead, the JDG duo would be in even deeper danger.
But just half a second before that {Unstoppable} Sion charge was about to arrive.
The Viego who had just recovered from the stun actually slashed his Blade of the Ruined King with his "original spot" as the target!
{Unstoppable} vs {Unstoppable}!
However, the two have a sequential order of ending; 【Heartbreaker】 is unstoppable for the entire duration of the cast, while Sion ends his unstoppable state immediately after hitting a target.
Heartbreaker neutralized the "mud-head truck," taking no control effects at all.
At the same time, it actually interrupted Sion in place, causing him to fall into a brief "stiffness" of self-control!
Of course, the damage could not be neutralized.
Viego, having taken the full damage of Sion's ultimate, looked as if his nostrils were bleeding and his health bar plummeted, but he vanished from the spot in a flash of golden light.
At the same time, it was like the alternating souls of twins.
One vanished, and the other immediately flew out from the brush behind, firing a cannon shot followed by a hammer smash!
"My god, what coordination! From the JDG top-jungle twins!"
The spectator view was even more visually impactful.
Viego used his physical body to help tank Sion and pin him down, then landed and side-jumped into the brush like an R-Flash to lose vision, and Jayce immediately appeared in his place.
The two displayed perfect tacit coordination, and it was highly deceptive!
Because the brush Viego flashed into was in the opposite position to Jayce, the opponent did not know which brush he was in.
And the Flash position was also very subtle, maintaining a distance of at least 1000 yards from Sion.
This was a distance that even if Sion were desperate and flashed into the brush, he couldn't reach.
If Sion followed with a Flash, he would definitely face their combined fire first and would likely fall before transforming into a zombie, allowing Viego to take the shell and join the fight!
Jayce, who had specifically saved his skills and held onto his Flash, should have been able to kill Sion, successfully allowing the Viego on the side to go pick up the corpse.
But at this moment.
A sudden change occurred.
Seeing Saint-Gun Brother happily choosing one of two options, he decisively controlled Sion to throw his battle axe toward the pitch-black side, and a 【Comet】 followed, flying across a thousand miles!
"?!"
Seeing the comet fly out, he knew the skill had hit—Sion immediately flashed backward to escape without hesitation!
Sion's Q skill has very high values; even without any charge, the base damage of a level 4 Q is as high as 165, and combined with the Comet damage, it could provide 200 points of output for his teammate.
Ye Bo confirmed the opponent's position and directly flashed to place a ward.
He breathed Starfire at Viego!
Kanavi was already at extremely low health, and facing the pursuit, it was difficult to escape.
And 369, who had gone astray, could not turn back and could only follow up with a Flash to kill Sion.
Viego and Sion fell one after the other.
But what looked like a 1-for-1 trade was actually a "-1-for-1" situation!
Just because Viego failed to occupy the shell and died directly, while Sion's passive zombie, which stood back up, had combat power far stronger than his original form!
Ryze, who had run over, saw this and turned to run, only to be chased by Sylas and hit with another combo.
"Jayce has also fallen! JDG has been traded 1-for-2!"
"Ryze originally wanted to go home after the mid-lane gank, but because the mid and jungle went missing, he followed them over, and his current health is not healthy!"
"It seems he can't even defend this top tower; he's going to be dived!"
Ryze could not defend the tower and had to recall.
The V5 mid-jungle duo greedily took two plating stacks and forced out Jayce's Teleport; the economic swing was astronomical!
And this wave.
Actually, there was one small detail that left 369 puzzled, which no one else had noticed.
"Why... could that instant Q from Sion hit from so far away?"
In 369's view, Viego's Flash position should have been at the maximum range of Sion's Q—but every Sion player knows that Q's range gradually increases based on charge time.
An instant Q should only be able to hit targets right in front of his face.
Unfortunately, he clearly didn't understand enough.
"Am I awesome or what! I knew he would flash there!" Saint-Gun Brother, having succeeded in the mind game, looked excited, but he didn't forget the other contributor.
"Awesome, awesome, awesome!" xun provided top-tier hype.
"Hehe, I knew this trick would come in handy; Master Ye's 'martial arts manual' was definitely worth practicing~"
Ye Bo also revealed a meaningful smile.
That just now was indeed an outrageous, obscure mechanic of Sion—《In the absence of vision, Sion's instant Q defaults to using the maximum range judgment》.
Conversely, when there is vision, it strictly adheres to the generated range of the Q skill.
The question is.
Why would Ye Bo know such an obscure little trick about Sion? He doesn't even play Sion!
Answer: It was told to him by a certain idea-generator in the pot.
After Ye Bo understood it, he felt it was incredible!
After all, Sion was "created" by that sister; what is there that she doesn't know~
JDG's attack on the top lane was shattered, and instead, their own top and jungle suffered heavy losses, having used all their skills.
They couldn't start the Rift Herald at 8 minutes as planned and had to delay the tempo.
But dragging it to 9 minutes.
When Viego's ultimate, which had a faster cooldown, was ready, and they prepared to fight for the Rift Herald again by exploiting the cooldown difference of Sion's ultimate...
The system prompt in the chat box in the bottom right corner:
《Heavenly Darkness - Aurelion Sol has acquired 【Astral Flight】》!
Based on typical tournament experience, an Aurelion Sol with normal growth usually takes 11-12 minutes to accumulate enough for the first Astral Flight.
There are only two ways to accumulate Skyfall: fully stacking the Q Dragon Breath, and executing units at the center of the E skill Black Hole.
Because Ye Bo's Q skill was often fully charged this game, combined with his control over the Black Hole minion waves, he actually managed to finish it 2 minutes early!
"The Long Wang is accumulating stars so fast this game! How is he able to stack so much!"
"But JDG still seems to want to contest this Rift Herald!"
"Both bottom lanes haven't come; this is a 3v3, Kanavi doesn't seem to accept this!"
Rather than not accepting it, it's more that he cannot give it up.
All three of JDG's outer turrets only have three plating stacks left, and the bottom one is even approaching two stacks—giving up the Rift Herald means giving up a turret.
It is even very likely that they will directly lose all three outer turrets!
But the Long Wang, possessing Skyfall, is as if he has briefly become the true "Aurelion Sol," gaining the true power of star forging.
Sol reaches into the heavens with one hand, plucks a giant star, and backhands it into Summoner's Rift!
"Witness the funeral of the stars."
With a 150% damage amplification plus an unavoidable half-screen AOE ultimate, the knock-up control is unleashed!
Sylas flashes to chain his burst, Sion follows up with control, and they forcibly kill the Viego who wanted to repeat his old tricks but had no flash!
Viego falls, and the Rift Herald battle naturally loses all suspense in an instant.
However, a fight is also breaking out in the bottom lane.
The frustrated Ruler finally survives to level six, finds a gap in positioning, and starts with his ultimate Spirit Ball, throwing it out while using his Q and auto-attack dash to rush forward!
Beryl might have put all his skill points into his brain, as his hands are truly slow.
He fails to flash in time and is knocked up by the point-blank, no-windup Spirit Ball.
Although he burns his flash to create distance, Renata lands and decisively uses R-Flash 【Hostile Takeover】, Kalista follows with a flash to chase for the kill, and she can even continue to chase Varus!
This can be considered the only drawback of a double-marksman bottom lane—since both lack survivability, they might be bursted down by a single all-in.
But just as JDG thinks they have clawed one back in the bottom lane.
A loud, booming sound arrives.
"Sion has used his ultimate!"
In the previous two 3v3 skirmishes in the top lane, Jayce used his TP to defend the turret, while Sion saved his TP because his mid and jungle teammates had pushed the minion wave out.
This became the foreshadowing.
In fact, after finishing the Rift Herald, Sion picked it up and directly TP'd to the bottom lane.
It was also because of this that the V5 bottom duo thought to push the wave quickly and accidentally left a positioning opening.
And JDG's move in the bottom lane was incredibly decisive; they seized the opportunity to kill Caitlyn, otherwise what they would have faced was a long-distance charge to forcibly demolish the bottom turret!
Of course, it's about the same now.
Deft hadn't used his ultimate even when Caitlyn was near death, which also revealed his intent.
A follow-up 【Chain of Corruption】 binds Kalista, making her take a solid hit from the "mud-head truck" charge!
"Kalista is hit and killed first! Renata has no flash, so she will surely fall one after another!"
"It's over!"
Before 10 minutes, JDG's bottom outer turret is declared destroyed.
The alternative "Caitlyn system" begins to show its power; this is also the system the former DRX bottom duo is most proficient in!
Although this is a support Caitlyn, the pushing speed of double marksmen is only faster, not slower, than a single Caitlyn!
At 12 minutes, all three of JDG's outer turrets are declared broken.
JDG, having quickly entered the lane-swapping phase, shows their decline; Sylas's combat capability is fully utilized, and he begins to turn the tables in the jungle, constantly hunting down the struggling Viego!
Kanavi's jungle-carry warrior playstyle is overly reliant on and greedy for gold; without gold, it is very easy for him to lose his head.
Both mid laners are developing relatively steadily, and the Long Wang's roaming is not seen often.
It isn't until 16 minutes, when the Long Wang stacks his second Skyfall, that he goes to contest the second Rift Herald.
It is no exaggeration to say.
If the new version of Long Wang's 【Skyfall】 can be stacked smoothly, both its actual combat power and strategic deterrence far exceed Corki's 【The Package】.
Relying on the deterrence of Skyfall, JDG ultimately chooses to give up the team fight, wanting to stall for time for Ryze.
But letting the Long Wang farm is clearly not a wise choice either.
At 21 minutes, the V5 members initiate a Dragon Soul team fight to force the issue.
JDG, increasingly fearful of Skyfall, struggles for a long time and ultimately has to fight, otherwise they will likely face the subsequent pressure of Baron.
Everyone knows this is almost a desperate move.
The Long Wang, enjoying imperial treatment, even has five small birds specifically ceded to him when Sylas is farming F6, and the same goes for the Krugs; they are all treated as sacrifices for forging planets!
The 【Stardust】 accumulation speed is nothing short of exaggerated; by 20 minutes, he is already close to 300 stacks of Stardust!
At this moment.
The star-vault dragon rages, and a thousand peaks are reduced to ash.
Summoner's Rift is filled with a prairie fire of celestial flames!
25 minutes.
Waiting for the Long Wang to accumulate Skyfall again, the five of them force a push mid.
The Long Wang drags the wrath of a constellation from the cosmic sea and smashes it under JDG's high-ground turret.
The terrifying tide of starlight sweeps and spreads like the light of an apocalypse; it is simply like the effect of Karthus's ultimate Requiem, blasting everyone on the opposing team to half health with his own power!
The team fight is a landslide; the collapsing star-vault black hole blooms like a black planet, with both its range and execution threshold enjoying the power of the sky-filling stardust.
Finally, just past 26 minutes, JDG is routed and their crystal is destroyed in one go!
