Chapter 229: Fist-fighting

~29 min read 5,688 words

"Entering the second game of the finals, both sides have brought out unexpected things!"

The commentary desk chatted while waiting: "On one side is Kha'Zix reappearing after 347 days, on the other side is mid Lee Sin reappearing after 535 days!"

Guan Zeyuan was a bit worried on the side: "However, V5 took the first game with a crushing momentum; this game is very important for JDG, coming to the blue side, they must fight back a city..."

"Look at JDG's movement out of the base, it seems they have a design this game!"

The five JDG members headed straight to the upper jungle after leaving the base.

The casters had just analyzed that, looking at the composition alone, JDG should have a slight advantage at level one.

The so-called "strength evaluation" of level-one compositions first depends on whether there are "special heroes."

For example, level-one Yuumi, level-one Aphelios without skills, are definitely in the weak category.

For another example, level-one Sion who has two lives and can turn into a zombie, Viego who can possess and harvest, Jinx who accelerates and takes off, are definitely in the strong category.

Besides that, if neither side has these special heroes—it's just looking at the number of "CC"!

After all, no matter what hero, they are very fragile at level one.

If one side has one more CC, it will definitely be easier to focus fire and reduce personnel first.

So by comparison, besides the supports on both sides, JDG also has an AOE CC from top Gragas—after all, Renekton is very hard to accumulate fury at level one, and W is only a single-target CC.

And JDG is clearly trying to use this point.

Hongmi is not the kind of coach who is good at constructing "unexpected" designs, but after reflecting on the field just now, he also thought clearly about the key to his team wanting to defeat V5.

Can't lose in the early stage!

The imagination in his brain is very beautiful; anyway, his team's player hard power is not weak, as long as it drags to the mid-to-late game, the team fight will definitely be playable.

But in the final analysis, it is V5's ability to "catalyze rhythm" after getting an advantage, and his team's "team mobilization" is not enough.

The former is attributed to V5's mid-support duo, who are both good at leading the team to quickly expand the advantage and use the advantage to quickly kill the game.

The latter is because JDG lacks a commander who can "rule the overall situation."

Neither is a problem that can be solved immediately in this game.

Then the only way is to not lose the formation in the early stage as much as possible, and it's best to have an advantage!

Therefore, Hongmi, in the 4th and 5th pick BP, even though there were better choices like Ornn, Sejuani, and Gwen to fight Renekton, and many soft support combinations that could pair with Zeri, chose Gragas + Leona.

It is because these two choices are the best hard-initiation choices, with strong hard-initiation and rhythm-finding ability!

"JDG's positioning has ideas, choosing to let Gragas push from the mid river brush, and the other four imitating the positions of V5's few people in the last game to sneak into the brush..."

"No one is seen in the river, 69 waits for teammates to fall from the side, and directly tops the brush with a belly from the river!"

"But..."

JDG's entry position looks simple at first glance, but there is also a saying.

Hongmi doesn't have so many novel ideas, but as a coach from the orthodox Korean-style play, he has a very professional grasp of time points and ward placement.

If V5 has someone coming to the mid river brush to place a ward, JDG has a chance to forcibly initiate on people.

And if no ward is placed, like the Ahri in the last game hiding on the river bank, Gragas can secretly E up from the side wall, wait for the CD, and form an internal pincer situation with the teammates below!

It's just that V5 also has a design.

"Is there no one?" Gragas, who secretly topped the bank with a belly from the river, found no one in front of him.

"Then enter together!" Kanavi decided decisively.

But just as the people in the river turned the corner and walked into... the center point of the only way, an invisible 【Snap Trap】 instantly tightened.

One of the people caught instantly exposed the position of all JDG people!

And at the same time.

V5's top and mid had already silently pushed from the upper river entrance, waiting for Nidalee, who had finished placing long-range traps, to jump out from the upper side of the Baron pit, taking a shortcut to combine with the three to sneak into the blue zone.

The three walked this position together; one is that they might run into a Gragas standing in position, and can try to burn skills.

But the core purpose is still to grab "information gap" for Nidalee!

The Nidalee vs Kha'Zix matchup, simply summarized, is "Whoever has the advantage can stand on the opponent's head and play."

And Nidalee is definitely stronger in the early stage, especially before level three.

If they can execute the classic "Level 2 Counter-Jungle" of Nidalee, even if they can't kill Kha'Zix, delaying the level six time node is definitely more painful for Kha'Zix, who is extremely dependent on his ultimate.

Seeing the opponent's five-person position at this time, Nidalee placed a remote reconnaissance ward according to the command deployment, and then the three returned to base in place together.

"V5's three silently sneaked in! JDG completely doesn't know there is a nail of the opponent in their own jungle!" Miller shouted excitedly.

"Bad, Thresh also entered the opponent's red zone to place a ward because the trap detected the opponent's five-person movement!" Guan Zeyuan's palms were slightly sweating.

"If Kanavi didn't realize this, then Nidalee would almost 100% be able to find him at level two! No matter what jungle path!"

Looking from the god-view, both the blue and red zones have vision.

And JDG would at most guess that their red zone has a ward.

Beryl also played a very "sneaky" ward position, placing the ward deep inside the F6 pit—this led to JDG even if they returned to the red zone to clear with a scanner, it would be very difficult to scan this ward.

His idea is also very simple.

The bottom quadrant is all black at the start, JDG's bot lane duo can't possibly dare to enter the jungle alone to do vision—so as long as they see someone entering the jungle, they can default to JDG returning to defend the bottom red zone.

And if the two wards in

And if the two wards in the enemy's red and blue quadrants didn't detect any enemy activity, then naturally, Kha'Zix must have started at their red—a simple process of elimination.

But unexpectedly, this ward placement by BeryL actually yielded an accidental harvest.

"It's fortunate that JDG didn't choose to invade the opponent's red!"

"Otherwise, not only would Kha'Zix be caught by Nidalee, but because they were in the enemy jungle, they would likely have been surrounded by the top and mid laners; that jungle might have exploded right at the start!" Guan Zeyuan just let out a sigh of relief, wanting to praise Kanavi's decision-making.

But he immediately noticed that the movements of the JDG members were wrong.

"Why is 69 still following them bot? The minions are about to spawn!"

"Oh, I get it. 69, just like last game, still wants to sacrifice for the jungle; maybe he wants to go help clear the bottom quadrant?"

The caster was clearly guessing wrong.

Or rather, they had not yet grasped the strategic direction Hongmi had set for the team this game.

Because if it were just purely to clear vision in the bottom quadrant, there would be no need for the top laner to come over; anyway, the opposing top laner definitely wasn't there, so it would be 4v4 at most.

Since Gragas would likely follow the main force to the bottom lane during the gap where he might miss minions, there was naturally only one reason—they wanted to hard-fight at level one!

Even if they didn't catch you, they were going to force a fight!

They wouldn't give up until they unleashed the results of their level-one composition's advantage!

V5 also had vision in JDG's red quadrant, so they could also confirm that the V5 main force was definitely in the bottom quadrant at this time, just not sure whose bottom quadrant it was.

That was why they cautiously swept and cleared their own red quadrant first.

And JDG's execution was very detailed; Gragas deliberately didn't go out at first to avoid being detected by any wards that might have been placed in their own red quadrant.

Only after his teammates started the sweep and cleared the way did he slowly follow.

But, just as he passed the outside of the F6 pit.

Gragas's figure was still exposed within V5's vision.

"Lei is down. Hey, wait, Gragas is there too!"

Ye Bo also immediately realized something: "Looks like they're still using that strategy from the first game. Shengqiang Ge, you need to come!"

"Coming."

From JDG's own perspective, their strategy from the first game had not been "exposed" at all.

After all, the incident at level one last game was Ahri getting ambushed by an invisible enemy through the wall, and V5 didn't continue to invade the jungle afterward.

Their "Top Laner Sacrifices for the Jungle" strategy wasn't used at all, and Kainan went to his lane normally afterward.

Here, the importance of 【Field Time】 is highlighted.

With only ten minutes or so of break time in the middle of the field, it was absolutely impossible to have time to watch the full game recording in detail; they could only watch it at high speed, mostly picking out a few key mistakes or team fights to review.

In this way, the "garbage time" of the first minute of the opening was naturally easy to overlook, not to mention that V5 was the "successful design side."

And this further highlighted the complementarity between Ye Bo and BeryL.

The principle of the level-one design last game was theoretical knowledge Ye Bo learned from "Project" Senna, while the specific positioning design was done by BeryL.

So during the review, BeryL directly wanted to skip the opening stage, knowing that time was tight and there was no heart to appreciate the successful design again; he just wanted to see more information from the enemy's perspective during the laning and lane transition phases.

But Ye Bo, known for his "attention to detail," insisted on watching from the beginning—and then both of them noticed Kainan standing guard under the mid tower at the start.

With a simple association, they could roughly guess the opponent's thoughts.

"JDG's five people are standing in the middle brush of the bottom river; they are preparing for a level-one all-in invasion!"

"V5 has vision at the entrance to the red quadrant; JDG can confirm that Nidalee is blue-buff starting. This wave looks like a sure success!"

"But why did Shengqiang Ge come too!?"

"Hiss... although V5 saw Gragas, they should only think he came down to help clear the jungle, right?"

From the OB perspective, it also felt unbelievable.

After all, the top laner being here at this time definitely meant he had to TP to lane at level one to avoid missing minions.

Once they "guessed wrong," it would be a massive loss.

But because they had obtained key information about the opponent's strategy from the first game, V5 was also very certain of the opponent's thoughts at this time.

After all, the F6 ward in the red quadrant was information the opponent couldn't know, so Gragas's act of sneaking out behind them could be 100% confirmed!

"Zuoshou, you go show yourself in mid first, don't expose yourself." Kanavi looked at the mid lane minions and said.

Mid lane is the shortest lane; the minions of both sides would meet at 1 minute and 28 seconds.

Then at 1 minute and 30 seconds, the jungle monsters would respawn.

Not until 1 minute and 39 seconds would the minions in the top and bottom lanes meet.

This meant that a miss in the top or bottom lane before 1 minute and 39 seconds wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion—but a mid lane miss ahead of time could very likely trigger vigilance instantly!

Anyway, Akali's level-one invasion wasn't strong, so the cost-effectiveness for deception was very high.

And when Ye Bo saw Akali walk out from the river entrance, he was stunned for a moment.

But he immediately thought of something and immediately set off alone.

The two met, and the minions clashed.

Zuoshou was still nervously adjusting his position.

Lee Sin generally learns the E skill at level one for laning, which is also the core skill for his laning!

Only after playing Lee Sin in lane can one truly appreciate the power of the 【Tempest】 skill.

Don't look at Lee Sin's E range as if it's only 450 yards, just the distance of Yone or Yasuo's Q—but that's only the "radius"!

As a circular skill with no blind spots, its actual coverage range should be said to be 900 yards.

The most intuitive comparison—the radius of Lux's E 【Lucent Singularity】 is 310 yards, with an actual range of only 620 yards.

Of course, this only meant that Lee Sin's E could hit all minions very easily.

The point was also the damage.

Still comparing these two skills, with the same cooldown, Lux's starting item E damage is less than 80 points, while Lee Sin's is 130!

Not to mention Lee Sin doesn't consume mana!

Even so, this was still a version where the E skill had been heavily nerfed.

Two years ago, Lee Sin was a dual T0 in mid and top for a while; at that time, no one even used him to jungle, just because the wave-clearing ability of maxing E was too shameless—a level 3 E combined with {Ironspike Whip} could instantly push the wave, and the efficiency of pushing and roaming was like using a cheat!

Pure stats!

And the laning Lee Sin of this version was playable again because it had been buffed in the previous two versions, increasing the damage of Q and E.

Coincidentally.

Zuoshou also noticed this change and had actually practiced Lee Sin a few times!

However, if you wanted him to give up Ye Bo's Akali because of this and pick it himself... he definitely didn't have the guts.

But Zuoshou at least understood this matchup quite well and knew some of the key points of the game, so he wasn't unfamiliar with how to deal with it.

For example, at level one.

Akali's Q is exactly 100 yards longer than Lee Sin's E, creating a theoretical opportunity for a free hit; even if Lee Sin misses his E, there's a possibility of being chased by Akali for two sets of QA!

So Zuoshou kept adjusting his position, feeling the limit distance of Akali's Q skill, and then threw out a curved kunai!

And the opponent seemed to have miscalculated the distance, and Lee Sin, who had come to the front of the minion pile, was successfully hit by the kunai, and four or five of his own minions were also consumed along with him.

Zuoshou couldn't help but show joy on his face.

In his heart, he felt that with just this wave, he had already seized the initiative in the lane!

"Looks like this guy's Lee Sin isn't that good!"

Because it was a limit-distance Q, Zuoshou even directly "picked up the passive" on the spot with the sickle blade!

With the instant speed boost from the Five Point Strike, Akali moved forward fiercely, wanting to chase down Lee Sin.

However, Lee Sin just forcibly retreated, not turning back to trade health at all, letting the opponent consume his health for nothing.

Zuoshou didn't persist, walked back into the minion line, and his positioning became even more arrogant.

No matter how you look at it, the opponent lost big at level one!

For Lee Sin to not fight back and just exit the minion line like this was equivalent to handing over his position for nothing; now, if he wanted to go back, he would inevitably be hit by Akali's free Q once, and the health gap would already be there, not to mention the lane priority for the first three levels!

Losing the lane completely at level one basically meant losing the lane before level three; this is common sense.

However...

Zuoshou seemed to have finally noticed something.

Where the hell is this Lee Sin retreating to!?

Why, after taking a Q, did he run straight toward the direction of the defensive tower? Anyone who didn't know would think he had disconnected...

"Hey, Blind Monk #@¥% went!!"

An incoherent scream appeared in the JDG voice chat; the voice systems of the others were interfered with for a second before they could barely parse the key information.

But by this time, the JDG members had already entered the blue quadrant!

With the bottom duo helping to start the jungle, the buff would approach the Smite kill threshold at around 13 seconds, so if JDG wanted to fight at level one, they had to enter in advance—otherwise, as soon as they showed their heads, the others would just Smite to level two and fight back, wouldn't they be idiots?

And the four people who entered, even if they knew Lee Sin was on the way and would definitely arrive before Akali due to distance, could no longer retreat.

They were already here.

Mainly, Gragas was already here!

They didn't know about the opponent; they only knew that if they didn't get a result from this wave and just retreated, it would be equivalent to their own top laner having to burn his TP for no reason at level one!

And the V5 members clearly had a clear train of thought; they didn't care about anything else and just focused all their efforts on helping Nidalee kill the jungle monster!

After all, JDG's level-one composition was indeed slightly better, but if they could let the jungler reach level two first, the situation would inevitably reverse instantly...

Even, it was possible to let all five of the opponent's people die here!

At this time, Nidalee and Thresh were on the outside, while Caitlyn was shooting from inside the brush with detail.

Deft utilized Caitlyn's "Sniper" characteristic; the passive 【Headshot】 "stacks double in the brush," with one headshot every three auto-attacks!

Perhaps it was also because of this that the rate at which the Blue Buff's health dropped was clearly a bit wrong...

"69, open it quickly!!"

Kanavi had no other thoughts, only keenly noticing that the Blue Buff's health was in danger, but at the same time, he also noticed an opportunity.

Without a moment of hesitation or pulling, Gragas, having received the command, instantly E-Flashed forward!

Because it was a decisive E-Flash, Thresh, who had come to block with his physical body, couldn't stop it and was knocked up along with Nidalee, one after the other, along with the Blue Buff.

And Xun only had eyes for the Blue Buff's health bar, his finger already hovering over the F key for Smite...

But this was exactly the opportunity Kanavi found.

Kanavi suddenly remembered that Nidalee learned the W trap at level one to scout vision...

The Blue Buff's health just dropped below 800.

Kha'Zix suddenly erupted for no reason, using {pre-commands} to lock onto the F, D, and Q keys simultaneously; the moment he flashed out, he used Q and Smite together!

Xun was still preparing to contest the Smite, but the Blue Buff suddenly disappeared the next moment!

In fact, this was indeed very difficult to steal, even if Nidalee had learned Q at level one, it would be the same.

Just because {heroes and jungle monsters do not belong to the same faction—so it does not affect the triggering of "Isolation"! }

Even if there were five enemy heroes around the Blue Buff, Kha'Zix's Q could still deal isolated damage to the Blue Buff; a level-one Q already possessed a terrifying nearly 200 points of damage!

"Kha'Zix flashed, Q-Smited, and stole it!!!"

This unexpected event was clearly hard to predict.

And with the buff stolen, the impact of having an extra level-two hero on combat power was huge.

It wasn't just a disastrous impact for JDG; it should also be for V5.

But V5's preparations didn't stop there.

Kanavi didn't think about running after landing, preparing to launch an attack on the Nidalee in front of him... but from the brush on the side, a "blade-red" Renekton suddenly walked out!

The terrifying thing was.

That Renekton actually had an unscientific 50 points of red fury!

Clearly, the reason the Blue Buff's health line had already entered the danger zone in less than ten seconds was entirely because there was an extra Renekton helping to auto-attack!

But there was a problem.

Renekton's level-one W has a 16-second cooldown; it was clearly impossible to use it for fury replenishment at the start.

And Renekton's level-one attack speed is only 0.67%; to accumulate 50 fury, he would need to auto-attack 10 times, which is at least 14-15 seconds.

The Blue Buff didn't have that much time until it was killed by Smite at the end!

Can't worry about that much.

Kanavi instantly learned E and jumped out with a "staggering E" to pull away distance first.

It was fortunate that his train of thought was clear—if he had thought about jumping back to his teammates, he would have inevitably had to pass over Thresh's head, and the result would have been being interrupted by the E skill and pulled back in reverse!

And this E skill, while seemingly not long in distance, was enough to pull away from Renekton.

"Just kill the one in front!"

V5 didn't follow with Flash to chase foolishly; they just cleared the people in front of them first.

As long as they reduced the enemy's numbers first, even if the opponent had an extra level-two, the fight was still up in the air!

Thresh used his E in reverse to pull Gragas back, Renekton followed up directly with a red-fury W to stun him, and Caitlyn followed up with a trap where he landed.

And Kha'Zix, after pulling away, also immediately turned back, cooperating with Zeri and Leona to go up and output wildly against Thresh, who was the furthest down.

Normally, a level-two Kha'Zix cooperating with the bottom duo would definitely kill someone faster.

But a 【Sonic Wave】 finally flew over the wall!

"Lee Sin's support speed is too fast!"

"Akali had just walked into the river, and Lee Sin, upon reaching the wall, started with a long-range Q, easily hitting Gragas who was controlled in place!"

Both sides erupted into a "fist-fighting and kicking" brawl on the spot!

Gragas fell first.

But Thresh, who was held by Leona, just happened to trigger {Isolation}, and his health dropped extremely fast.

BeryL, seeing his health was in danger, immediately flashed upward... but Zeri actually flashed without hesitation, using a flash of electric fingers to execute Thresh!

"Ruler flashed forward! Used the passive execution to finish off Thresh!"

"Wait, JDG seems to want to fight to the end this time!"

If JDG gave up here, it would clearly be unacceptable—starting with a buff trade for an enemy First Blood, and their own side having burned two Flashes from the top and jungle, a massive loss!

And at this time, Akali had also arrived at the battlefield!

Zuoshou didn't choose the long way; upon reaching the wall, he flashed over the wall and used Q to deal group slow.

"Don't retreat! We have to fight to the end!" Ye Bo shouted loudly when he saw this.

He knew they couldn't retreat.

The opponent wanting to fight hard like this actually hid a "secret purpose."

Once they retreated, it might seem like V5 could gain quite a bit.

But this meant the bottom jungle quadrant would be lost at the start—and the jungle might collapse!

Nidalee having her buff stolen at the start was an undeniable fact; if they gave up the bottom quadrant now, Nidalee's jungle would have nothing to play with!

This was clearly a point V5 couldn't accept.

"Oh, V5 isn't giving an inch either! Both sides want to fight to the end!"

Neither side had any extra skills.

Eight people, just like that, stepping on the two corpses under their feet, were pulling each other's hair like in a vegetable market, hard-auto-attacking to the end!

Of course, it was also because everyone knew.

Whoever flinched would be the one to explode.

Both ADs were hard to hit, {Lethal Tempo} was maxed out, and they were outputting wildly; it was just a comparison of whose front line was tougher.

However, the combat power of having an extra level-two finally had an effect.

Even if V5's entire team kept sticking together in detail to prevent Isolation from triggering, Kha'Zix's damage with the buff was still a cut above; by comparison, Nidalee, who learned W at level one, indeed didn't have high damage.

"V5's generals seem reluctant to burn extra skills; only Nidalee finally used W to hard-finish off Leona, then flashed to pull away..."

"Both front lines have fallen, and almost only the two ADs remain alive with full health!"

"Oh my, this is too tragic! Level one! 7 kills erupted!!"

【Fight! Fun!】

【Whoa! This is the game!】

【I feel like if V5's jungler hadn't lost the jungle, the opponent would have had to /remake; shouldn't we #check Xun's status?】

【Everyone came with their medical insurance cards, who's afraid of whom! Just do it!】

【How can a non-Genshin player K two kills? Ruler got a double kill, isn't this a massive loss?】

【Suggest downloading the game first; can a kill from Genshin-bro's Ignite be called a K? 4 for 3 is still called a loss? And suggest looking at the mid lane minions again!】

"Although the final result was 3 for 4, V5's kill distribution isn't ideal, while on JDG's side, Ruler harvested a double kill!" Guan Zeyuan's voice was very passionate.

"Considering Kha'Zix stole the jungle, this wave is definitely a win for JDG! Ruler took off at the start; he can carry this game easily!"

Wang Duoduo, however, pointed at the mini-map: "Is it really a win? Teacher Zeyuan, look at the mid lane minions."

As the director's perspective shifted.

Everyone was shocked to find that there was a vast wave of minions in the mid lane, rushing toward Lee Sin's tower!

Guan Zeyuan's surprise vanished in an instant, and his smile became stiff.

"Is it level one?"

"That couldn't have been intentional by Ye, could it?"

It was very clear that Lee Sin intentionally stepped forward at level one to give Akali a position, just wanting the opponent to Q him.

While Akali was Q-ing Lee Sin, she also Q-ed many minions, and the subsequent pursuit and positioning affected the minion state, and being in a hurry to rush to the front battlefield ruined the minion line, leading to the formation of a "slow push"!

The two sides fought for nearly half a minute, and the slight minion advantage had already been naturally expanded!

At this point, both mid laners burned TP to return to lane.

But Akali would lose at least half a level of experience!

Miller summarized: "In the situation of a composition disadvantage plus the jungle monster being stolen, V5 not only won the confrontation at level one, but both the top and mid laners also saved their Flashes!"

"It can only be said that V5's team-wide detail was stretched to the max! It can be said to be a forced reversal of the situation!"

"Even if one step was missing, the result of this level-one team fight would definitely have been completely different!"

Wang Duoduo nodded in total agreement: "It's not just Master Ye's feint to support in advance, but also the decisiveness of the team-wide counter-attack command, and Shengqiang Ge's whimsical idea... Renekton's red fury was also very critical!"

Why was Renekton able to accumulate an unreasonable 50 red fury?

The answer is actually very simple—two {Blast Cones}.

Renekton's fury would only start to decay after waiting 15 seconds out of combat.

And after Shengqiang Ge left the base again, he didn't go directly to the bottom lane; he first went to the deep upper jungle to the {inner fruit} that had just respawned, bounced toward the mid-second tower, and then from the mid-second tower, he bounced into the pit using the Blast Cone toward the blue quadrant...

Using these two auto-attacks before the jungle monsters respawned, he gained an extra 10 points of fury!

Just as the casters said, neither side had extra means at level one; in this kind of "extreme brawl," even a little extra bargaining chip could very likely change the course of the battle.

Of course, the JDG members could indeed accept it.

The reason is that V5 decided to fight to the end to protect the bottom jungle, naturally trying to save Flashes as much as possible.

And in this situation, it was clearly impossible to deliberately hold back and give up kills; after all, the combat difference was just a matter of a few auto-attacks, and if they weren't careful, they might have to give up the game!

"Daomei, daomei, our bottom lane can't fight in the early game now..." BeryL scratched his head in distress.

"This wave is my fault; my Smite was too trash!" Xun was clearly full of self-blame: "I didn't steal the jungle monster, otherwise the opponent would definitely have exploded! It would have been over directly!"

Xun knew very clearly that if it weren't for him failing to steal that jungle monster—with V5's counter-ambush design, the 5-on-4 combat power wasn't proportional at all; JDG would have had at least 3-4 people left here!

It's no exaggeration to say that if they had been hit by a 0-for-3 at level one, Hongmi would definitely have had his eyes go black and cried in the back.

"The problem isn't big, don't be affected, play slowly!" Ye Bo comforted.

"It's definitely still a win!"

BeryL was indeed unlucky, because Thresh's E 【Flay】 increases auto-attack damage; at level one, his auto-attack was actually the most painful of everyone!

He knocked Gragas to death with one hit, and the Ignite he hung on Kha'Zix before dying also burned for the kill...

This resulted in the V5 support getting two kills, and the top and jungle getting one each.

Caitlyn, who could only stupidly auto-attack, had a K-kill ability far inferior to Zeri, who could combine AQ to max out the passive value for an {execution} kill; in the end, she didn't even touch a single kill!

"Just stay steady, I'll carry this game." Ruler's very confident voice came through.

Kanavi was clearly also full of confidence: "This way I definitely have an advantage in the jungle; wait, I can still counter-jungle him!"

What Kha'Zix fears most about Nidalee is the first three levels, and now Nidalee, who left the base at level one, clearly couldn't go looking for Kha'Zix anymore; the jungle environment had already changed.

"Top lane is also okay, I can still hold up against Renekton..."

Except for the mid laner who didn't speak, the JDG members were all quite satisfied with this level-one result.

And the facts soon proved it.

At level one, Ye Bo was clearly deliberately giving the opponent a position.

When returning to the lane, because Lee Sin had a slow push under the tower, he had already reached level two after eating them.

Akali still wanted to move forward to recreate the game, but Ye Bo deliberately gave the limit distance for the skill this time, yet turned around the moment he entered to bait out the kunai.

Once wasn't enough.

Repeated positioning deceptions made him look quite clumsy, missing three or four Qs in a row!

Directly making Akali transform into a "Rice-Planting Girl" on the spot!

Actually, this kind of so-called "pulling" couldn't really be mastered with exact distances like 50 yards or 100 yards—people aren't machines, after all, and Ye Bo is also a person.

It can only be based on "feeling."

And the higher the understanding and proficiency of this hero, the clearer this "feeling" naturally becomes.

Clearly, Ye Bo really had a good feeling.

Kha'Zix, having left the base again, originally wanted to counter-jungle at level two; after all, there was still vision in the enemy's red quadrant, so he could judge Nidalee's jungle-starting movement.

But after looking at the minion situation in the mid lane again.

Kanavi directly dismissed the idea of counter-jungling.

He had no choice but to start clearing his own jungle first, at least to maintain a level lead.

And as long as they passed the first three levels... clearly, the jungle risk caused by Nidalee having her buff stolen at level one would rapidly decrease.

"Although Master Ye didn't get a kill, the laning seems to be different immediately upon returning." Guan Zeyuan looked at the mid lane laning situation and sighed.

"No wonder he chose Lee Sin as a late pick; is this matchup really that much of a counter?"
