Chapter 233: Supernatural Hook Domain! The Fatal Pole Dance!

"It appeared again!!"

"Master Ye's Akshan has used that signature stationary pole-vaulting technique once more. We were just discussing whether this trick could be used for wave clearing, and it turns out it really works!?"

At this moment, the JDG members finally understood how the opponent had stolen the buff at level one.

Akshan first deliberately stepped forward to trade auto-attacks with Tristana, then retreated to the corner of the mid-lane river wall, and once again skillfully unleashed his hook—aimed at the empty air with a peculiar angle—before performing another "Spinning on Air"!

The deliberate step forward to trade with Tristana was to draw minion aggro.

At this point, the minion wave was pulled into a cluster, and the Zhuge Liang Repeating Crossbow began to fire rapidly!

And Left Hand naturally walked up immediately, wanting to deal damage while the opponent was stuck in place.

But it was clearly not that simple.

Tristana had barely approached the minion pile when the muzzle of the crossbow suddenly shifted targets to fire at Tristana—because that previous auto-attack had also applied the passive three-ring mark to Tristana.

{The E skill prioritizes targets with passive marks}!

Although Tristana's passive skill increases her attack range by 8. 3 units with each level, reaching 700 units at level 18 to become the longest standard range in the League.

But in the early game, it is actually only 550 units.

But don't forget, Akshan is not actually "standing still"!

Quite the opposite.

Because the air pivot point Akshan hooks onto allows him to rotate at high speed, and the fluctuation range of this rotation is at least 150 units or more!

This means that before Tristana even walks into her own attack range, she will enter the "mobility coverage area" of Akshan's E.

Left Hand tried to kite back and forth twice.

Not only did he fail to secure the minion wave, but he also clearly lost the health trade!

Every time Akshan rapid-fires his three-ring passive, there is bonus damage and even a shield; it is impossible for Tristana to trade health with him inside Akshan's "Hook Domain."

Quickly spinning to kill most of the minion wave, then landing to finish off the few remaining ranged minions, Akshan easily pushed the wave forward.

"I can't out-push him, he's missing."

A very faint warning came from the mid lane.

The entire JDG team, however, became instantly tense.

Akshan is still very rare in professional play; besides the extremely high difficulty and practice cost, it is also because there are already enough choices in the {Mid-lane ADC} category.

For example, the Tristana in this game, as well as the classic Lucian.

Having these two marksmen in the current meta is actually more than enough.

But this does not mean Akshan has no reason to exist.

First of all, the "Male Widowmaker" characteristic is something those two heroes can never compare to!

Once the mid laner is missing, no other hero can provide this kind of side-lane pressure at this very moment—because at this timing, it is difficult to detect Akshan's movements through vision control!

And Tristana, having cleared the wave a bit slower, immediately had to face a decision with completely unknown information.

If it were other heroes, one could still judge their destination based on river entrance wards.

"Hurry down here! Isn't it certain they're going to four-man dive us?" Ruler said anxiously, taking command.

In his view, since the support had just gone up to draw aggro for the jungler, the opposing jungler must already be on the way.

The indecisive Tristana was just about to move.

But the jungler immediately called out to stop him.

"No, no! You have to come protect me this wave, he's definitely coming for me!" Kanavi shouted at a higher volume.

"Is he a moron? If the jungler is bot, how would he dare come for you!?"

"Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me!! He is really coming for me!"

"... xi!"

With their lives at stake, the opinions of the jungler and marksman clashed again.

However, this also reflects why, historically, teams that "rely on the marksman for shot-calling," or even teams where the "marksman participates in shot-calling," often end up blowing up in a big way.

It is actually because the marksman's ability to acquire and process information is the weakest among the five positions, bar none.

This is determined by the position itself, not the player's skill.

After all, ADCs are fragile, and whether laning or rotating for team fights, the vast majority of their attention must be focused on themselves.

And usually, there is a support by their side to help with vision and information gathering, so they are neither at the center of the information warfare like the mid-jungler, nor do they face the immense anti-gank pressure that a top laner faces every single moment.

Even someone as strong as Ruler can easily make wrong judgments in this information environment because his perspective is always focused on himself.

On the surface, there is a high probability that Trundle will protect the bot lane after being lured down, so V5 would only have the mid and top in the upper half; Akshan going to the jungle to find Ivern has no advantage, whereas coming bot for a four-man dive would have stable gains.

Even if JDG's mid and top have Teleport to defend, they would first have to use it without hesitation, and even after teleporting down, it would still be four against three with no chance to counter-attack, losing at least some experience.

But Kanavi's focus was on—his own "fragility" at this moment!

Because he had to seize the time difference, even if Ivern could use Smite to instantly kill a jungle monster after planting seeds in three camps, he would still only be level two.

More importantly, it was still a battle of wits.

Kanavi still believed the opponent wouldn't be so easily figured out... how could such an aggressive early-game offensive against him end so simply?

Being able to constantly extract experience from failed games is the hallmark of a strong team.

"Although Trundle headed to the bot lane, Akshan used his push advantage to head to the upper half to help guard his own jungle!"

"But... Tristana, who was halfway there, also turned around!"

"Ivern seems to be about to run into him!"

Ye Bo had just walked into his own jungle when he saw the "seeded" F6 camp, and immediately determined the opponent's intent.

His reasoning was also very simple.

JDG's mid and top both have Teleport; even if he cooperated with Trundle to go bot, it would be basically impossible to complete a four-man tower dive, at most affecting the development of the opponent's mid and top.

JDG's lineup is indeed a standard three-protect-two dual-carry setup, that is correct.

But V5's vision for this Spring Final BO5 has actually always been very clear.

It is to target the jungle!

The reason is not that Kanavi's raw skill is truly stronger than the other cores of JDG; after all, as the foundation of a billion-dollar battleship, there won't be a huge gap in player level.

It is mainly about tactical status.

V5 has faced them many times and knows very well how high the tactical status of this JDG jungler is.

Especially since the mid laner, a key information position, does not like to participate in shot-calling, the jungler is almost the team's sole strategic decision-maker!

And at least judging from the playoff performance before this final, although JDG has formulated many "tactical" game strategies, this "team characteristic" has not changed.

And V5 has already discovered that this person, Kanavi, has a serious characteristic flaw.

Ivern was planting seeds in his garden with extreme nervousness.

The next moment, a stealthed Akshan appeared in the vision of the path below!

"I told you he was there!!"

Kanavi shouted as if deliberately, to prove he was right.

"Come, come, come quickly!"

Fortunately, he had been prepared; when he first entered the jungle, Ivern had been holding back his skills, deliberately not using Q to travel faster.

He first used his second Smite to instantly kill the Red Buff to recover health, then turned toward the Krugs camp, throwing out Q 【Rootcaller】 to fly away and create distance!

And the Ornn in the top lane had already moved in advance!

With his own jungler in the bot lane, Flandre certainly couldn't push the lane too aggressively.

What's more, Shen's early-game pushing ability is truly pathetic; he can only auto-attack one by one and cannot push past Ornn at all.

However, Shen also has his own advantages—fighting and trading health!

Ornn's main {W Brittle auto-attack} trading method would be blocked by Shen's W Spirit's Refuge.

And if Shen can hit with his empowered Q, the damage is actually quite astonishing!

So even though Flandre couldn't win the minion wave, he was working hard to pave the way for support, playing very aggressively in the early laning phase.

Both top laners were only at half health at this point, with Shen's health being a bit healthier.

By now, Kanavi had safely flown over the wall without disturbing the Krugs, quickly widening the distance from Akshan, and was the first to meet up with his top laner!

Akshan had just entered the Red Buff camp from the F6 entrance; it would take at least seven or eight seconds to circle around from above.

If he chose to circle around from below, Tristana could "intercept him halfway."

Now, as long as they waited for Tristana to come over and meet up, occupying a numerical advantage, Ivern would definitely be able to safely clear the entire upper half—at that point, Trundle would effectively have started with only a single buff, as the Blue Buff was eaten by Akshan.

Ivern would be able to directly complete a jungle comeback!

Kanavi's plan was beautiful.

But just two seconds later... Akshan swung in from the right like "Tarzan"!

"Akshan is flying! Master Ye's proficiency with this Akshan is too high!!"

"He is almost continuously brushing against the wall, drawing a circle in the air of the jungle—what a perfect big circle! He actually swung directly from the heart of the Red Buff to the Krugs camp!"

"Level three! Crossing 2000 units in the jungle in 3 seconds! I ask you, besides Akshan, what other hero can do this!?"

The Tarzan-style support speed clearly completely exceeded Kanavi's predictions.

Ivern had only just landed for a moment when Akshan was already flying into his face!

It's just ridiculous!

Originally, both top laners were in poor condition, and Ivern thought the opposing top laner wouldn't dare to come and stay.

But at this moment, Shen had long since abandoned the minions under the tower to rush to the battlefield, charging out of the brush to use E 【Shadow Dash】 to taunt.

Akshan fired several arrows in mid-air, actively landing before the collision to unleash a final shot, aiming at Ivern.

"Shen's E is out to coordinate with Akshan's focus fire! Ivern is only level two, it doesn't look like he can take this!"

But Ivern has no Flash, and his only crowd-control skill was used for mobility; at this point, he can at most shield himself with E and stand there taking the beating.

"69! Hit the Krugs!" At this critical moment, Kanavi's mind is clear; knowing he has nowhere left to run, he shouts with all his might.

Ornn lands and slightly adjusts his direction, his Q hammer strike knocking out a rock pillar that extends forward, perfectly piercing and hitting the Krugs!

The entire Krug family is startled awake and immediately joins the battle, causing the situation to suddenly become very chaotic.

The position where Akshan's E swings him is almost face-to-face with Ivern.

However, unlike the previous level-one fight against the Mantis, the Krugs—which should be "neutral units" that don't distinguish between friend and foe—are now facing the two of them, yet they only pursue and attack Akshan!

{Wild monsters view Ivern as a friendly unit.

Although Ivern's combat power is basically that of a minion right now, he has cleverly utilized the mechanism of his passive skill, 【Friend of the Forest】, to forcibly pull wild monsters into the fight to make up for his lack of strength!

But in the end, Akshan's Tarzan-like swing is simply too fast.

Tristana was already slightly delayed by the controversial commands from the bot lane, and since she couldn't use W to dash over, she could only walk over slowly.

Ye Bo knows he can't shed the Krugs' aggro, so he simply tanks the attacks and stands his ground to output damage.

By the time Left Hand arrives at the wall below, Ivern has already fallen!

"Tristana has finally arrived! She jumps directly onto the Krug camp with W!"

"Ivern has fallen first, but Tristana's combat power is very high right now; Left Hand has a real chance to clean up!"

Even though Akshan's E skill will also refresh after a kill.

But there is no way the two JDG members will let him have the chance to swing toward the top defensive tower; even if he flashes upward, he will inevitably be intercepted by the opponent's Flash pursuit.

Ye Bo thinks for a moment, first tanking two shots from Tristana to land a three-hit proc on Ornn.

"Holy Gun Brother, just hit Ornn!"

After shouting, Ye Bo begins to move toward the wall below.

"Just kill the mid laner, just kill the mid laner! Don't let him get away!"

As long as he can trade for Akshan, even if it's just a 1-for-1 between the jungler and the mid laner, it's definitely not a loss.

And no matter how you look at it, Akshan has nowhere to run.

Tristana's W 【Rocket Jump】 refreshes immediately upon getting a kill or fully stacking her E, and at this moment, the Explosive Charge on Akshan's head has already reached three stacks.

And it is at this very moment.

Akshan suddenly fires his grappling hook toward the wall above the Krugs.

The two above instinctively block his path upward, but they never expected that Akshan wouldn't swing upward, but instead charge toward the wall below?

But immediately following that.

Comes a gasp of astonishment from the entire arena!

"What!?"

"Ah????"

"He went over! Damn, he went over! How can Akshan's E go over a wall!!"

Akshan, who looked like he was "actively hitting the wall," disappears right before the eyes of the two JDG members after leaping against the wall.

There was no flash of golden light on the spot; he just suddenly vanished.

The two JDG members are clearly stunned for a moment.

But then, they follow with their Flashes over the wall without hesitation, chasing after the Akshan who is fleeing toward the lower left.

Shen, behind them, also immediately follows with a Flash in hot pursuit, firmly executing the command to hack away at the low-health Ornn with his Spirit Blade!

But Tristana's landing auto-attack has already detonated the 【Explosive Charge】, refreshing her W, Rocket Jump, and she is careful not to fire immediately.

Akshan uses Flash to escape into the Dragon pit.

And Tristana doesn't care about the life or death of her top-lane teammate behind her; she chooses not to use Rocket Jump to slow Shen and save the soldier 69.

Her eyes are fixed entirely on Akshan's head!

This choice is actually correct.

Because Shen's condition is also very poor; as long as Ornn drags it out toward the Dragon pit as much as possible, Tristana can kill Akshan and then use her refreshed W to jump back and finish off Shen, which is the only way to potentially complete a double kill.

"Tristana jumps off the bank again to pursue!"

"Shen pulls his Spirit Blade again to empower his Q! 69 in the back seems to be the first to fall!"

"Oh."

Tristana, having jumped off the bank, fires wildly at Akshan.

And Akshan, looking as if he has given up resistance, just stands in place, trading shots with Tristana.

As Ornn falls first, Akshan's health also rapidly approaches the death line.

But at this moment, Akshan fires his grappling hook diagonally toward the wall of the Dragon pit again.

"Bu-style!?"

Vision doesn't disappear immediately when Ornn dies, and the JDG members finally see that scene with their own eyes again.

Akshan, once again, leaps in an incredibly bizarre fashion, crossing the Dragon wall to the bank for the third time!

It's practically the "Ultimate Repeated Jumping"!

"The last auto-attack didn't kill him!" Guan Zeyuan shouts while clutching his head: "How could Akshan get away with this! No way!"

"Tristana couldn't get the kill to refresh her W and couldn't chase back up the wall; she could only watch as two heavily wounded targets left, and they actually got a zero-for-two!"

"Not only that, the bot lane was also ganked, the support forced an engage, and both sides traded summoner spells..."

"Although Trundle didn't get a kill, the main thing is that he can go and eat Ivern's bottom jungle; Kanavi's jungle is blown up!"

In the replay, what everyone is most confused about is Akshan's wall-crossing E.

Although this hero is incredibly unpopular.

In everyone's impression, this skill seems like it shouldn't be able to cross walls, right?

But in reality.

Akshan's E skill clearly states it is divided into three parts: the first part is firing the grappling hook, the second is the swinging flight, and the third is the "leaping" strike—very similar to the logic of Camille's E.

The difference is that Akshan's third-stage leap displacement is very short, often ignored in normal situations, which is why it is frequently overlooked.

But in fact, if you test it with Taliyah's E, you will find that the third-stage leap triggers the Worked Ground, which of course means it is a "displacement."

Similar types of skills, such as Garen's Q and Darius's R, can also accomplish this kind of displacement over thin walls.

Furthermore, the text description of this skill has never said "cannot cross walls"—unlike Riven's E, which specifically has a note for that description!

So this is a legitimate mechanical technique.

【Damn, this hero is ridiculous! He can even flip over like that!? The ceiling for this thing seems much higher than I imagined!?】

【Master Ye: Oh, just simple geometry.】

【Lu Xun once said: There is no wall in the world that is airtight, except in the river!】

【Akshan? Ackermann!】

【What Shadow Sentinel, Blade Sentinel! Isn't this just pure Indian Talon!】

【Ho ho, feels like Kanavi is about to enter dark mode; I felt like this level-two counter-jungle was suicide; this guy just refuses to take even the slightest loss~】

Kanavi's mentality is indeed inevitably affected.

The current flaw in this person's playstyle is actually shared by a player in the LCK with similar traits—Chovy.

One starts to go crazy when his CS falls behind.

The other starts to go crazy when his jungle falls behind.

And V5's targeted playstyle finally begins to reveal its deeper meaning.

When the second wave of jungle camps spawns, Kanavi, knowing full well that his mid and jungle are not a match right now, still risks going to counter the opponent's blue buff after finishing his own red side!

There's no helping it; he lost too much earlier, and he feels his own side isn't enough to eat.

But Xun, just like at level one, repeats the same trick and successfully camps the opponent at the intersection again!

"Help, help, help!"

No matter how unwilling the JDG bot lane is, upon hearing the jungler's plea for help, they can only abandon the minion wave under the tower and head directly to the river to rescue him.

But at this time, Trundle is no longer level two; he doesn't even need a pillar, as the slow from Frozen Domain combined with his club strike is enough to make Ivern unable to take it or create distance!

Fortunately, at this moment, a Scuttle Crab suddenly moves toward the Dragon pit entrance.

Kanavi spots the timing, makes a seemingly unconscious side-step to barely create half a character's width of distance from Trundle, and immediately hits the Scuttle Crab with a Q skill at the extreme range of 1125 yards!

He grabs the roots and immediately leaps away to create distance!

"Kanavi's micro-play! He should be able to run!"

"V5's bot lane is blocking the JDG bot lane that wants to support in the tri-bush, but in this case, Ivern can actually arrive first! Tristana is also rushing from her own jungle; V5's bot lane should probably retreat first..."

"Whoa!!"

The timing of the Scuttle Crab's arrival is truly that of a real Friend of the Forest, allowing Ivern to fly from the river bush to the Dragon pit entrance, a super long-distance displacement; even if Trundle uses Flash and a pillar now, he can't keep up for a moment.

But, Trundle can't keep up.

Someone else can.

As soon as Akshan steps into the river, he starts from the lane bush.

Utilizing the long-range grappling hook positioning of the {End-Point Compensation} mechanism, he extends the {coverage radius} of the hook rope.

A point of knowledge from elementary school math: the distance from the center of a circle to a point on the edge is the radius, and the radius also signifies the size of this circle.

One sees Akshan take flight, starting from the river entrance, swinging a perfect arc!

From the entrance of the triangle bush, he swung directly in front of the little dragon!!

Landing with a bang, he shot at the fragile Ivern.

The duo locked in a fierce struggle at the triangle bush seemed to have also seen the battle on the upper side of the screen.

Ruler hurriedly shouted to his support, "Run!"

But Akshan killed Ivern, reset his hook, stepped slightly into the dragon pit, aimed at the pivot point of the pit again, and drew an even larger circle!

In three seconds, he swung from the entrance of the dragon pit directly to the triangle bush in the bottom lane!

An extra person suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

"Stay, stay, stay!"

Both sides were shouting at the top of their lungs.

Rell stayed behind to cover for the AD carry, while Ruler returned to the bottom tower without even looking back.

But Akshan landed, cooperated with his teammates to kill Rell first, and then, unwilling to stop, started swinging for the third time!

Starting again from the triangle bush, he flew all the way to the bottom lane's outer tower, shooting in mid-air—and then swung out from the left!

Everyone's mouths were agape, as if they only saw three big circles in the sky of the bottom half of the map!

This was simply turning the bottom river into "Pirate Ship Triple Swing"!

"What kind of Akshan is this!!!"

"It's over, Ruler is also low health. Ruler can't possibly be dived, right?!"

"Knight! Can Knight come to save him!?"

Tristana, who had set off almost at the same time, even after taking a shortcut through her own jungle, had only just arrived above the little dragon pit.

Knight had no choice either.

This Akshan, the person was just constantly flying!

Amidst Ruler's calls for help, Knight landed and jumped downwards, preparing to cooperate with the top laner under the tower to save the AD carry.

But an ice pillar suddenly rose from thin air.

From the ground, it pulled the airborne Tristana down, forcing a "crash landing"!

Rocket Jump was easily interrupted by the Frost Pillar, pinning Tristana against the river wall.

Now the top laner didn't even need to use Teleport; Ruler could only wait under the tower for the four of them to force the engagement.

【Holy crap, how is there a compass hero in Summoner's Rift!?】

【Brothers! There's a Peter Parker in the jungle! I'm seriously not joking this time!】

【Damn, is this "Swinging from the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Study"?】

【Wait, is this still League of Legends? Isn't this Mikasa!?】

【Isn't that Wrecking Ball from Overwatch?】

【Mom, this circle is spinning so much, it's making me dizzy.】

Wang Duo raised his arms and shouted excitedly: "Master Ye's use of Akshan's E skill is simply masterful! Watching it is pure enjoyment!"

Seeing Ruler fall, Guan Zeyuan couldn't hide his heartache and stated bluntly: "What is Kanavi doing this wave! Without any information, how could he go invade the jungle like that?"

"It wasn't a big deal originally, but after this wave, it's completely fallen apart. This wave has collapsed the bottom lane."

Miller also shrugged and commented: "It was indeed a bit muddled, like he was too eager to recover his jungle farm, but he definitely shouldn't have gone for this."

Redmi, backstage.

Was rubbing his forehead in slight despair.

He hadn't really realized this "problem" of his beloved player—after all, the jungle carry heroes Kanavi usually played were indeed meant to be played this way, so in his eyes, it wasn't a problem.

The problem was, even when Kanavi played Ivern or tank heroes, he seemed unable to accept being at a disadvantage!

This, clearly, was a big problem.

Previously, JDG rarely picked these types of heroes for their jungler, and plus, in the regular season, apart from V5 and BLG, they could be said to have no rivals, so it was naturally hard to discover these things in winning games.

Redmi could only hope now that his players could rely on their team composition to find a glimmer of opportunity while at a disadvantage.

But clearly, it was very difficult.

It wasn't just Kanavi's muddled play causing the team's rhythm to be off.

It was also because V5's team composition was showing its advantages.

JDG tried repeatedly to sacrifice resources to initiate attacks on the mid and bottom lanes—but V5's "Global Flow" began to show its true power!

And this was a brand-new system they had come up with after the match V5 lost in the regular season.

That is: let the top and bottom laners, whose laning ability is slightly inferior, pick heroes with extremely strong "supportive" capabilities.

Such as Shen, Galio, Sion, Pantheon.

This is compensating for weaknesses with strengths.

Although this V5's laning ability in the top and bottom lanes wasn't that outstanding, their team coordination and discipline were definitely among their greatest strengths.

"JDG wants to gank mid with four, but V5 has instantly gathered four people too!"

"Ah no, it's five! Jinx also fired a rocket from the bottom lane!"

"Galio and Shen provide double shields, Trundle's pillar gives Akshan a place to take off from the ground; this Akshan is simply moving through no-man's-land!"

Shen can fly across the whole map.

Galio can fly across most of the map.

Trundle can provide a "take-off spot" for Akshan anytime, anywhere.

This V5 lineup can only be described as having maxed-out mobility. With the previous lesson, JDG didn't dare to initiate rashly and could only turtle up to farm in the mid-game.

The only good news was that this JDG lineup was also quite hard to kill.

Strictly speaking, as long as the two marksmen in this lineup didn't die, it was acceptable for the others to die however they wanted.

Tristana and Xayah were both heroes with extremely strong survival capabilities and were indeed hard to kill.

But at 19 minutes.

Kanavi, unwilling to be left behind, suddenly had another idea.

The V5 members were preparing to set up for the Dragon Soul fight, but discovered that the five opponents seemed to be gathering towards the top lane, as if they wanted to trade the little dragon for the Baron.

For both lineups, the Cloud Dragon Soul was clearly more critical, especially for a double-marksman lineup.

But V5 naturally wouldn't accept trading it for the Baron.

The jungle-support duo responsible for vision immediately set off for the upper half of the map.

Vision near the Baron pit was being cleared; fortunately, there was a ward at the river entrance bush that the opponent hadn't cleared, allowing Galio and Trundle to sneak into the river very safely.

BeryL first warded over the wall into the dragon pit, then cautiously went to the Blue Buff wall to ward over it to confirm there was no enemy presence, also confirming that the vision for ten miles around was clear and safe.

Only then did he prepare to head to the dragon pit to start sweeping and clearing the opponent's vision.

But, just as Galio and Trundle walked to the top side near the Baron pit.

In the air behind them—a cluster of green thorns flew out!

Even more terrifyingly, the next moment, five people appeared behind them as if they had drilled out of the air; even that Q skill was hard to react to because the release distance was too close!

Xun was a young man after all; his reaction was extremely fast, and he instinctively flashed away, grazing the edge.

But BeryL, who reacted slightly slower, was hit.

The five JDG members immediately flew in using Ivern's 【Brushmaker】 lines, and instantly, five people appeared in Galio's face!

"Holy crap!?" Even BeryL himself was stunned.

Because he had clearly warded over the wall just now, confirming the safety of the Blue Buff exit path, which was why he dared to walk into the middle of the river to enter the dragon pit.

But the five opponents flew out as if they had suddenly come out of the "wall"!

It was normal that he didn't know.

After all, even with his champion pool, he wouldn't want to play Ivern support, so naturally, he didn't have much understanding of this hero.

This could be considered a hidden technique of Ivern—casting a bush over a thin wall so that a small petal of the bush was on the outside of the wall, achieving the effect of an "invisible bush outside the wall."

Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly became loud: "Kanavi has pulled off a redemption! This invisible bush over the wall helped the five JDG members hide under the wall to initiate, pinning down Galio!"

"Shen has used his ultimate to save him! The V5 members are also rushing to the top lane!"

The V5 members themselves were preparing to take the little dragon first, and their positioning was towards the bottom of the mid lane, so it would take time for them to move.

Flandre subconsciously used his ultimate to rescue him at the first moment, and Trundle was swaying on the side to support, but the five JDG members didn't hold back any skills at all.

"Goat" and Daisy were both summoned, and Xayah was rapidly plucking and shooting her feathers on the spot.

Waiting for Shen to land, Xayah immediately used her E to pull back all the feathers, rooting both of them in place!

Fortunately, Galio was very tanky with his W activated, and Shen had his W Spirit's Refuge to block all the output from the two marksmen!

But, after all, there were five people!

As soon as the 1. 5-second Spirit's Refuge ended, the health of the two being beaten started to plummet.

Rell decisively activated her ultimate to force them to stay, and "Goat" followed up with control!

"Galio falls first!"

"Seeing that he couldn't escape, Flandre could only turn around, E-taunt three people, and pull Q, aiming at the opponent's carry with three strikes followed by Titanic Hydra. Oh, the damage is very high! Actually, Shen is really effective against this lineup!"

"But it's impossible to turn the fight around. Deft's Death Rocket follows up! What a pity, the damage still isn't enough!"

"Tristana takes another kill. It's a pity Ruler didn't get the kill, but does JDG have a chance to start the Baron now!?"

Knight was eager to steal the kill; anyway, seeing that his side was 2 vs 5, he didn't even think about dodging when he saw Shen rushing over.

As a result, he didn't expect the opponent to rush over, sword-dancing with a few strikes that directly chopped off half his health, followed immediately by a precise Super Mega Death Rocket!

Fortunately, Ruler provided a Heal to pull him back from being executed, and Tristana also had Blade of the Ruined King to lifesteal.

Two people have fallen to the ground now.

JDG can absolutely wait ten seconds for the Baron to respawn, then start hitting the Baron directly!

"Watch out for Akshan, watch out for Akshan!! We can take the Baron this turn!"

"Back off a bit, don't rush! Let Left Hand get some lifesteal!"

"He's getting it, he's getting it!"

At 20 minutes, the death timer is already as high as nearly 40 seconds; there is absolutely no need to rush.

All of JDG first covers Tristana to go to the wall by the dragon pit to eat a fruit, while everyone moves close to block the front, not giving Akshan a chance to get close and trigger the resurrection.

Akshan was just in the mid lane; even if he rushed over to support, he would at most have just entered the river at this moment, and trying to detour from the jungle definitely wouldn't be that fast.

Ruler is also very meticulous, lighting up a blue ward at the entrance to his own blue buff camp early to prevent being flanked.

Akshan is indeed detouring through the jungle.

But just as he arrived at the blue buff wall, he stood on top of a Blast Cone.

"Is Akshan trying to hit the fruit to go up!?"

"But there is a ward Ruler placed up there! If he pops up, he will immediately expose his position, and JDG could even directly counter-encircle him!"

Yet, just as the crossbow bolt left his hand to detonate the fruit and Akshan flew up.

He put on his hood in mid-air, his body becoming illusory as he flipped over the wall.

"Heroic Swing" stealth!

The blue ward's detection failed to discover Akshan, who had entered a stealthed state in mid-air.

And Akshan, relying on his W 【Scoundrel】 to gain 90 movement speed, dashed toward the "scoundrel" Tristana to kill her!

Tristana was still happily dragging her cannon to eat the fruit.

But in the very next moment—someone suddenly flashed out from below without warning, Q-Flash, Gale Force, and then Auto-E!

The dart, crossbow, and hook all came out at once!

The visual error trajectory of the "Delayed Q-Flash," the Gale Force auto-attack firing while connecting the E-skill hook to the side; the moment the auto-attack fired, Akshan took flight!

The Q-Flash and double auto-attack triggered the three-ring passive, followed by the execute from Gale Force!

If Tristana had eaten one more fruit, she might have been able to avoid the execute from Gale Force; that would have relied on the other two from V5 trying to Flash to forcibly help secure the kill, and Jinx was already prepared to Flash and fire a rocket to land a hard auto-attack.

But the fruit bounced over the wall silently, and the speed of the Scoundrel coming to hunt was simply too fast!

The scoundrel Left Hand was already killed before he could even eat the last fruit!

"My dear friends, please don't die anymore~"

A magnetic voice and the shroud of holy light appeared simultaneously.

The souls of Shen and Galio resurrected on the spot within the fountain!

TP lit up directly in the river, and Galio also used Homeguard to run quickly toward the Hextech Portal ahead; as long as he entered the jungle range, the distance for 【Hero's Entrance】 would be enough to take off!

"It's over, the resurrection was triggered after all!!!" Guan Zeyuan shouted with extreme excitement: "JDG wants to keep Akshan and Flash to chase... but Akshan still has a second E!"

"Flashing to chase has instead caused the JDG formation to be torn to shreds!"

"JDG needs to run fast this turn! You absolutely cannot fight this turn!!"

V5 can resurrect, but JDG cannot.

Missing a Tristana, Akshan even utilized the "AE reset double E" to refresh a second E in mid-air and fire a second set of claws; the JDG members who flashed to chase behind him completely missed!

JDG also knew that this fight was no longer winnable, and even the Baron might be lost.

And at this time, V5 naturally wouldn't let the opponent retreat easily; Trundle stepped forward to place a pillar for a slow, and the support and the Ivern who couldn't get away could only cover the retreat.

Shen and Galio had already returned to the battlefield.

The only thing JDG could be glad about was that Xayah and Ornn survived side-by-side, and they also managed to collect the bounty from two of the opponent's kills; this way, they might be able to wait for the Dragon Soul team fight that would refresh in half a minute.

But.

In JDG's vision, it was clearly seen that the V5 members, after quickly killing the two, did not start the Baron.

The Dragon hadn't refreshed yet either; are they not even taking the Baron in a 5-vs-2?

"Could they be trying to end the game in one push!?"

It wasn't just the JDG members who were confused.

Even the commentary desk couldn't quite understand.

"V5 is actually choosing to push the high ground instead of taking the Baron; actually, once you take the Baron, the high ground is easy to take. This decision seems a bit problematic... wait, no, could it be that they want to end it in one push!?"

"This feels like it's impossible to end in one push, right!?"

"Tristana still has 27 seconds until resurrection."

Although the resurrection time at 20 minutes into the game is not short, and the mid-lane second tower had already been pushed down, two people were alive after all.

And if they wanted to push the high ground, they would definitely take the Baron first before pushing—after all, if they pushed the high ground first and then went to take the Baron, wouldn't it be even more dangerous if the opponent resurrected?

Thinking it over.

This could only be an intention to end the game in one push.

The two survivors of JDG had clear minds and decisively chose to give up the mid-lane high ground.

And with the powered-up Jinx and the "demolition captain" Trundle, V5's tower-pushing speed was quite astonishing, and their actions were indeed undeniably focused on continuing to push.

"Clear the wave, clear the wave! They can't push it down!!"

No need for more words; Ruler had long been gathering feathers on the spot, waiting for the minion wave to approach the nexus turrets to clear them frantically.

Ornn also immediately stepped forward to stall for time, preparing to operate under the tower.

But Trundle only then used his ultimate on Ornn, continuously stealing {25% of his maximum health} and {40% of his dual resistances}!

Ornn, who originally had some tankiness, seemed to turn into a piece of paper in an instant!

"V5 is tower-diving! 69 was insta-killed!"

"JDG must clear the wave!!"

"Ruler is moving frantically under the tower! He's still operating!"

Xayah's Deadly Plumage nimble footsteps leaped quickly, dodging multiple skills one after another—but he couldn't dodge the auto-attacks!

The frenzied Jinx flashed to chase his face and landed hard auto-attacks, using the rocket launcher's range to forcibly kill him!

"Ruler... Ruler has fallen too!"

Guan Zeyuan let out a genuine wail, but the next moment he turned from danger to joy.

"But it doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Ruler fired feathers all over the ground before dying and successfully pulled off the Bladecaller! While the minion wave was completely cleared, all of V5 was also left under the tower!"

"He drained the status of all of V5! It's absolutely impossible to end in one push like this! Absolutely impossible!"

"In this state, V5 might not even be able to take the Baron! Left Hand has a TP upon resurrection; he has a great chance to save the world this turn!!"

Xayah's final desperate walk before the tower, although unable to trade for even one person under Shen's desperate Spirit's Refuge.

But the Bladecaller with feathers all over the ground successfully crippled everyone under the nexus turrets.

V5's entire team was now at less than half health; Tristana's dozen-second resurrection time should be enough to TP out, and with the Baron, they would have a chance to try and operate!

You have to know, Left Hand was stolen to death earlier without using anything.

But soon, something even more terrifying happened.

All of V5 first exited the defensive tower, but had no intention of leaving.

It was as if they were going to continue pushing.

The next minion wave hadn't reached the high ground yet, and V5 clearly didn't have anyone who could tank the tower; what are they using to push?

But Akshan was the first to walk into the defensive tower.

Then, a Pillar of Ice rose up!

Akshan stood proudly in front of the center line between the two nexus turrets, aiming at Trundle's pillar—and fired his hook.

He just started to swing in place in front of the enemy nexus, using Trundle's pillar as a pivot!

It was like performing a "Finishing Pole Dance"!

The defensive tower's laser locked onto Akshan tightly, firing one laser after another, forming a brilliant laser trail behind him... yet it just couldn't hit the Akshan who was spinning at high speed!

And the V5 members, who no longer had the pressure of tanking the tower, had already started frantically tearing at the defensive tower!

Although the defensive tower without minions was very tanky, they weren't dismantling it very quickly.

But... at least they had no pressure from tanking the tower!

Akshan just kept attracting the defensive tower's aggro in front of the gate, while the two demolition experts, Trundle and Jinx, just kept dismantling!

When the first nexus turret fell with difficulty.

The minion wave finally arrived, and the second nexus turret instantly became like thin paper!

And the laser behind Akshan had gathered like a terrifying star cluster; it was completely imaginable that even if Akshan landed at full health, he would surely die instantly!

However, he just didn't have to land.

"It looks like it's really going to be dismantled! Is it actually going to be in this way!? V5 seems to be about to deliver a finishing blow to this final!"

"Akshan has been dancing with the air for almost the entire game! He's still spinning! Still spinning!!"

"Left Hand is alive! Left Hand!!!"

The commentary desk still wanted to shout across the air at the Tristana who had resurrected from the fountain.

But Left Hand also had something to say.

If the opponent had gone to take the Baron, Tristana might have dared to try something with Baron Nashor's help... but now, in a state where everyone is at half health, what can he use to try?

Do you really want me to 1v5?

Looking at the last two kills he managed to snag, and the record that had finally turned positive...

"Hurry up, Left Hand!! The base is about to be gone!!!"

Tristana was still kiting and hovering outside of range, only daring to use her cannon to poke from a distance.

But the Jingdong nexus, already facing four demolition experts who completely ignored their opponents and one person still spinning in place from afar, could no longer bear the burden and burst into fragments!
