Chapter 236: Shifting Shadows and Seismic Waves

~36 min read 7,122 words

"Guma! How did this happen right from the start..." the Roaring Emperor on the LCK commentary sub-channel shouted and yelled.

And sitting next to him were two people, one fat and one thin.

These two people can also be considered well-known in Korean e-sports, and have an inseparable relationship with T1; they are now both contracted streamers for T1.

"Yeah, Min-hyeong's positioning is really too careless," Bang frowned and severely evaluated his junior: "It's no problem to want to save a ward to play the lane, but he shouldn't have stood in this position alone!"

"This is not the first time he has done this; it doesn't look like the style of our team's AD at all. He really needs to be educated properly!"

Bang's eyes were sharp, seeing at a glance what Gumayusi was thinking.

He clearly thought that his bot lane's laning strength was above the opponent's, and wanted to save a ward to play the lane, so he stood in the intersection with his physical body to detect vision in the first place.

In the confrontation between top players, an extra "lane ward" would have a huge impact on the positioning and pulling space of both supports—which in turn might affect a series of chain reactions such as minion wave control.

However, after Bang, who acted as the "strict father," finished speaking, Wolf, who acted as the "kind mother," still made excuses for the children.

"Actually, you can't say that; Min-hyeong's reaction this time was already very fast."

"The position he walked to in the first place was also no problem; it was very detailed to walk against the wall to turn the corner the fastest. The problem was that the hook was too strange."

Even Wolf, a two-time champion support, couldn't understand the reason at all.

It was normal that he couldn't understand.

After all, when Nautilus had this mechanic, Wolf had already retired for many years, and he hadn't specifically studied such deep small details later.

In contrast, Keria, who witnessed this scene, clearly knew it well and was speaking to solve the puzzle for his partner.

"That is a small mechanic of Nautilus, not end-point compensation; it's actually quite difficult, it can only pass through thin walls..."

Not many people in the LCK live broadcast room knew these things, and they were all seizing the opportunity to output wildly.

【It really is one stinky egg ruining a pot of good ramen!】

【Hehe, only relying on such unknown things to win, it completely shows that the hard strength is not as good as our T1!】

【Laughing to death, I think game understanding and skill development are not the most basic things for professional players? Oh, you don't know that pressing B can quickly return to base; if someone presses B to return to base, do you have to say it's not environmentally friendly and deduct points?】

【It's normal that Guma doesn't understand, after all, he plays AD. Shouldn't the question be why Ye, who plays mid, can understand it? How many days has he practiced Nautilus at most!?】

【What are you rushing for, you bastard! So what if our great T1 gives them one kill? T1 is invincible!】

In fact, this was a mechanic born after all of Nautilus's skills received a "visual update" in the 10.3 version of S10.

Among them, there is a line in the visual update of the Q skill: "Q skill changed from horizontal casting -> vertical casting."

The original intention of this update was to correct the skill range indicator.

But as everyone knows, League of Legends is a very "realistic" game.

Nautilus's Q skill is throwing the "anchor" in his hand, and the "volume model" of the anchor is extremely large, even larger than the models of many heroes.

This led to the fact that after the skill was changed to vertical casting, the anchor would "insert" vertically into the wall when hitting the wall. If it was a thin wall, "a small half" of the anchor would pass through the wall, thereby forming the effect of a "wall-passing hook."

Keria only knew of the existence of this mechanic, but didn't care too much about the principle, nor did he delve into it.

Ye Bo is different.

If he discovers a mechanic, he will immediately get to the bottom of it with great interest to think and study.

And only after digging deep into this mechanic would one find that this is actually the foundation of many of Nautilus's flashy operations—Ye Bo calls it the "Anchor is the Body" mechanic.

The level-one war drums of both sides subsided.

"V5's successful level-one raid got Renekton the first blood, then Sheng Qiang Ge's laning is comfortable!" Guan Zeyuan said excitedly.

"But to be honest, the laning of the lineups on both sides in this match feels extremely difficult to produce results; all three lanes are very difficult to have a say, it can only depend on the movements of the junglers on both sides."

The lineups on both sides in this match are very similar in both compatibility and structure; they are both jungle-carry and big-carry AD.

Top lane Gragas playing Renekton, it is difficult for each other to have the heart to kill, and mid lane is even more meat-to-meat, with no reason to fight to the end.

Although there is Blitzcrank in the bot lane, there is definitely no big say in the laning phase; without the intervention of the jungler, even if he hooks someone, he may not be able to kill them.

Everyone's attention was naturally placed on the jungle.

Looking at this, they actually saw some meaning.

"What does Oner want to do?"

The director's perspective was given to Kindred, who was hitting the Red Buff.

Since the game in the jungle in the early stage is extremely critical, the side lanes of both sides naturally did not help open the jungle, avoiding exposing the jungler's route.

And Kindred was pulling the monster towards the Dragon Pit at this time, looking like she had bad intentions.

"Could it be that Oner wants to counter-jungle at level two??"

"The junglers on both sides didn't use Smite when opening alone at level one, but in the case of opening alone, Kha'Zix's jungle speed and efficiency are clearly far above Kindred's!"

"Kindred is in this state and dares to go find Kha'Zix!?"

Although Kindred's level-one W 【Wolf's Frenzy】 percentage damage makes jungle clearing already considered a fast tier.

But Kha'Zix, who possesses 【Isolation】, still has higher jungle efficiency by more than one notch!

And because Kindred's jungle-pulling direction was fixed, she didn't adopt the "circuitous jungle-pulling" technique of remote heroes to protect health, leading to a much worse state compared to Kha'Zix at this time, only about half health.

In everyone's eyes, there was no reason to counter-jungle.

"Kindred Q jumped down the Dragon Pit! She really is going!"

Even the commentary desk with the God's eye view of both sides couldn't think of it, and Xun naturally found it hard to think of it.

Xun knew Kindred extremely well, and it was precisely because of this that he concluded that the other party didn't dare to make any trouble—other heroes might not, but Kha'Zix's early jungle efficiency and 1v1 ability were not something Kindred could compare to.

But Xun knew Kindred, but didn't know Oner well enough.

This person, even if he plays Poppy, Sejuani, etc., still goes head-on, let alone Kindred, a hero who has super high mobility and is fully capable of counter-jungling.

And Oner also had quite an understanding of Kha'Zix.

Kha'Zix's 【Isolation】 effect has a much higher return in the blue zone than in the red zone—after all, the red zone has two major "group jungle monsters," F6 + Krugs, while the blue zone only has three small wolves.

So Oner guessed that if the opponent opened alone, they would very likely choose to open Blue.

Kindred entered the blue zone and came to the bush across the wall, confirmed the information of the empty Blue Buff camp, but didn't walk out immediately.

She was waiting.

Waiting for about two seconds, feeling it was about right, Kindred directly pulled the bow, Q displaced, and jumped across the wall blindly!

Xun, who was preparing to use Smite on the Gromp's health, suddenly saw a Kindred with a little over half health jump out!

The first reaction of Xun's eyes was to use Smite.

But a ruthless thunderbolt landed a step ahead of him, fast to an outrageous degree!

Because it was a blind landing, Oner could be said to have displayed his hand speed and instantaneous positioning ability to the fullest—more importantly, in the air while jumping over the wall, his F + right mouse button was already hovering over the Gromp camp.

So when landing, he actually didn't look at the monster's health at all, directly aiming and taking the shot, only then could he be so fast!

Clearly, there was a gambling component in this.

But this is Oner.

Cooperating with the Dance of Arrows shot in the air, he accurately and steadily snatched the Gromp!

"Holy shit!?"

Xun, who had his jungle snatched like this, couldn't accept it.

"No! How does this person play the game like this? Is he not afraid of death?"

Xun couldn't understand why Kindred dared to counter-jungle this time.

You know, Kindred only had less than half health when she appeared. If she hadn't snatched this jungle monster, but it had been eaten by Kha'Zix, the health gap caused by the mutual elimination would have reached an overwhelming advantage.

At that time, Kindred could only run back to her own jungle in a sorry state, not to mention that the jungle progress would lag far behind.

With such a gap in state, maybe she would be counter-jungled by Kha'Zix instead!

But at this time, because Kindred snatched the Gromp, using the jungle egg's layer recovery health, plus Kha'Zix was equivalent to hitting the monster for nothing, the states of both sides instantly reached the same level.

"We can't come," Beryl cut the screen and glanced at the mini-map.

Because no one would think that Kindred would invade at level two, the bot lane didn't specifically fight for the lane, but T1's bot lane slightly occupied the minion wave advantage by relying on Lulu's long hands.

"Don't come, don't come," Xun also hurriedly said: "He wants to leave, I don't have E to keep him."

Xun knew that Kindred's biggest reliance this time was that both sides only had {Level 2}.

Kha'Zix couldn't learn E at level two, and Kindred, relying on the Q skill quickly reset by W, would soon Q jump down the wall into the river.

Even if the bot lane forcibly surrounded them, Kha'Zix would have to use Flash to get down the wall, and Kindred also had Flash to jump away; Kha'Zix simply couldn't keep up with the damage.

And Xun was thinking about the purpose of Oner's move...

Regardless, Kha'Zix's jungle efficiency is there; Kindred definitely didn't have enough damage to kill Kha'Zix this time, Kha'Zix only lost a group of jungle monsters.

Taking the risk that if he didn't snatch it, his own development might collapse, just to earn a group of jungle monsters!?

Is this reasonable?

Oner might not know Kindred as well as Xun, but he had his own ideas.

The importance of Kindred's first mark needs no further elaboration.

And before, besides the special situation where V5 could get a kill mark for Kindred at the start, every time they also had a targeted design for the competition for the first mark.

So what was Oner's idea?

Very simple, it was actually relying on the premise that Kha'Zix had no "pursuit ability" at level two and he had no "risk of death" regardless, to take the risk to snatch the opponent's jungle.

Kha'Zix missing a group of jungle monsters means he couldn't normally clear the jungle and reach level four.

And Kindred, now only needs to return normally and clear 4 more groups of jungle monsters, and she can normally reach level four.

In this way, at the time node when the Scuttle Crab refreshes—the junglers of both sides will inevitably have a level difference of 3 vs 4!

At that time, Kindred can completely stand near the mid lane, wait for the position where the mark refreshes, and then forcibly call teammates to go and compete!

And it can be said that as long as Kindred snatched the jungle at level two, even if this intention was discovered by the opponent, it would be very difficult to crack.

Xun's brain turned very fast, already thinking of the opponent's intention.

The good news is.

As his signature hero, Kindred, he had plenty of experience in dealing with it.

"Master Ye, I'm in a bit of trouble in the jungle, do you think it's possible..."

After hearing the request for help and inquiry from the jungle, Ye Bo immediately gave a positive reply.

And hearing the incomparably full confidence coming from the mid-lane big brother, Xun's mood also immediately stabilized, and he began to execute full of confidence.

The commentary desk was still analyzing the gains and losses in the jungle, and Rita was helping her own team explain and save face.

"To be honest, the loss this time is not much. Oner doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing to attack later, so Xun only lost a jungle monster."

"And we can also see that Xun is still very cautious. After arriving at the red zone, he directly hit the Red Buff first, not F6. This should be because he is afraid that Kindred will continue to counter-jungle..."

The junglers on both sides entered the development phase.

The director switched to the Erlang Shen perspective.

In the bot lane, due to the special nature of the Blitzcrank hero, unless he hooks 100% accurately, there is definitely no say in the early stage, basically only able to shrink and develop by relying on Jin Kesi's long-range rocket launcher.

And the top lane, having received first blood, should be able to suppress a bit.

And under normal circumstances, Renekton playing Gragas in the early stage can rely on the "no-consumption" advantage to seize some lane rights, or force Gragas to frequently use skills, leading to lost state and having to return to base first.

But the actual result is that the minion count and state of both sides are close to the same, and Renekton failed to suppress Gragas at all.

Through the details in a replay, one can see the clues; Zeus's Gragas seems to be different from others.

Gragas never gives Renekton a white Q position.

And when there was finally a position given, it was also a "Q hidden W" combo.

Renekton saw the opponent enter the position and turned to QAW, but it happened to hit the damage reduction of W 【Drunken Rage】, and while the sword-swinging action was in progress, an Explosive Cask was already covered under his feet!

At this time, if Renekton E'd forward, he would be interrupted by Gragas's E, and if he E'd backward, he couldn't refresh the second stage of E, and at the same time, he would still be steadily blasted by Gragas's Q.

Gragas also possesses recovery ability, the only difference is mana.

But Zeus can always use position pulling, skill games, movement gaps, etc., to exchange for the most health with the fewest skills!

Of course, Gragas playing Renekton can only do this much at most.

As long as the development of both sides is close, and Renekton doesn't commit a major illness, Gragas will never have the chance or reason to solo kill, at most maintaining a 50-50 situation in the minion wave.

And when the director's perspective cut to the mid lane.

Everyone immediately noticed something wrong.

"Faker's laning state today... seems wrong, right?" Jide saw the health gap in the mid lane and immediately raised his eyebrows.

In less than three minutes, K'Sante not only had finished his potions, but was also completely at a disadvantage in the health exchange.

According to the match conclusions of the past few days, the advantage of Nautilus playing K'Sante seems to be lane-pushing ability; after all, Nautilus's E lane-pushing speed is too fast, and K'Sante is hard to compare.

Jide hesitated for a long time before boldly speaking: "The Nautilus playing K'Sante seen in the past few days doesn't look like this at all. Does it feel like Faker's health exchange in the early stage had a problem?"

Rita smiled and teased: "There is always an illusion that Master Ye's Nautilus damage is higher than others. Is this the charm of the ID~"

"No, no, no, it's not an illusion!" Guan Zeyuan started acting as an expert again: "His E damage is just higher than others!"

"Look closely at his position control, whether it's the intentional step back after A is thrown and then E, or the predictive E in the position pulling, Master Ye can almost hit three stages of E in every wave!"

"The precision of this distance control simply makes me feel like I'm seeing him play Akali's 'Edge Q second passive' with ease!"

This time Guan Zeyuan was really not wrong.

The core skill of Nautilus laning is undoubtedly E 【Riptide】, and this is actually a skill with an extremely exaggerated panel damage—it has a total of three stages of damage, and the cumulative stacking of one level of white board is an outrageous 130 points!

The damage difference comes from these three stages of damage.

Nautilus players who have practiced a little know that if you want to hit these three stages of damage, you need to intentionally maintain a position of about 300 yards from the target to start.

And for the opponent, it not only tests the pulling of the position, but more importantly, it requires weighing whether to get close to the minion wave, not letting Nautilus push the lane while consuming.

But Ye Bo can almost hit the ultimate position difference in every wave, and the precision of the distance grasp is simply outrageous, just like approaching the "yard level"!

Of course, there is also the reason that Li Xianghe is unwilling to hand over the lane rights and has been pushing to push the lane.

But Ye Bo indeed has a feeling...

He feels that Faker's state today is wrong, and it seems different from their duel in the World Championship last year.

Although they only fought two matches in the S-series last year, one of which was a hero like Nunu where the laning situation couldn't be seen very well.

But at least in that Akali vs LeBlanc duel, Ye Bo could still feel the opponent's laning pressure and "operation enthusiasm."

The most intuitive point is that last year the opponent would also frequently perform "unconscious movement" and other behaviors to maintain a high DPI frequency.

This is also a small habit of almost all "masters," including Ye Bo—being able to maintain combat alertness to the greatest extent and deal with various unexpected situations.

But Li Xianghe today doesn't seem to have it; the operation frequency has clearly decreased.

It's unclear whether it's because of the clumsy hero K'Sante...

The fifth minion wave arrived in the mid lane.

The competition for lane rights between the two sides also reached a white-hot stage—because this minion wave will directly determine the priority of support for the upcoming Scuttle Crab!

Oner had already made coordination with Li Xianghe, and they were determined to get this Scuttle Crab mark.

And Li Xianghe knew that his lane-pushing efficiency was not as good as the opponent's, and had already started looking for opportunities to actively exchange health.

K'Sante playing Nautilus wins by hand-to-hand combat ability!

Going to battle with the same health, Nautilus provides mainly control functionality, while K'Sante provides control + combat functionality!

Saving up a wave of Q3.

Seeing Nautilus come up and wanting to repeat the old trick, K'Sante predicted and aimed at the moment the opponent lifted his foot, and smashed it out!

Q3 hit accurately!

The emerald floating light of 【Yu Zhen】 instantly added to his body.

K'Sante didn't covet the auto-attack; he stood in place in the air and connected W full charge, using Q3's knock-up to maximize W's {maximum percentage health} burst to hit the opponent with a big set.

However, Nautilus's figure had just been bounced back, but he was immediately pulled back forcibly by the big anchor in his hand in the air!

The effect of "Control Offset" made Nautilus look like he was flying!

He also stepped out the dark current ripple released in advance in place, letting K'Sante eat a set solidly in place, and still hit the minion pile.

Facing the Nautilus pulled far away, K'Sante's Yu Zhen and W naturally couldn't hit, so he could only turn his head and smash at the minion wave.

"Oh, this control offset!"

"Nautilus reverse-hooked the wall to forcibly pull away the knock-up, and also made K'Sante's W hit nothing. Master Ye is a bit handsome this time!"

Guan Zeyuan talked eloquently: "Maybe some viewers don't know that K'Sante's Q skill's {casting time} and {cooldown time} are both eaten by magic resist bonuses, so the casting action in the early stage is very slow, actually very easy to be reacted to in advance... Of course, I can't!"

The commentary desk only thought this was a simple operation health exchange.

But immediately after, they found something wrong.

"The Scuttle Crab mark has refreshed, it refreshed in the bottom half!"

"Kindred, who was crouching behind the mid lane, immediately set off for the river, but Xun has been crouching in this position, could it be that he wants to ambush Kindred? He is only level three!"

"This wave might break out into a small-scale conflict... Wait! Could V5's real target be to take action against K'Sante?"

Kindred had already rushed to the river from the shore, completely unaware that there was a Kha'Zix in the bottom river bush.

The anti-gank ward for early laning basically wouldn't be inserted in the bush, because that would have a blind spot in vision, very easy to be bypassed by the opponent.

K'Sante's ward was naturally inserted at the entrance of the bottom river.

This position could clearly detect the path to the bush, and could even detect the vicinity of the middle bush in the river, enough to protect the safety of the bottom river area.

But Kha'Zix jumped down with E more than ten seconds ago.

Kha'Zix's E skill CD is as long as 20 seconds; under normal circumstances, it is impossible to use it for such displacement in the early stage!

But don't forget—Kha'Zix missed a group of jungle monsters, originally because he was missing one thing to clear, there would be a gap of nothing to do!

Just like Oner going to counter-jungle at level two.

This Kha'Zix was only level three, and had vision protection, Kindred didn't have the slightest suspicion that there would be someone in the bush that had just passed by close at hand. "Xianghe-ge, if Kha'Zix didn't come, then he must have gone to clear the top Scuttle Crab, be careful!" Oner gave the answer he thought was inevitable.

"Hmm."

Li Xianghe could naturally guess it too; after all, it was actually reasonable for V5 not to engage this time.

Seeing that Nautilus didn't have the intention to support either, K'Sante also decided to retreat a little and be cautious, staying away from the top side that might be dangerous, keeping a distance from Nautilus and slightly approaching the bottom half.

And at this time, Nautilus seemed to still be auto-attacking minions and pushing the lane without any hostility...

But just as Nautilus lifted the big anchor to smash the minions.

A "rope" suddenly flew out from his "armpit" without any pre-swing action!

Nautilus's Q has a very long pre-swing action; generally, those with displacement can easily dodge it, and K'Sante can also use E to step aside.

But this "no-pre-swing armpit hook" had almost no reaction time!

K'Sante was directly hooked, and Kha'Zix in the bush also jumped out, triggering the First Strike bite!

Li Xianghe subconsciously wanted to press W for damage reduction, but the CD was still 5 seconds!

K'Sante's W and Nautilus's Q CD are actually the same, both 14 seconds.

But {Nautilus Q hitting the wall will reduce CD and consumption by 50%}.

The reverse hook of the wall that Nautilus deliberately gave in the previous wave was clearly not for some "operation"; the main intention was to trick out K'Sante's {Yu Zhen}, and tricking out W was an unexpected joy.

Eat Q3 first, then use Q to offset control, and you can trick out Yu Zhen with a CD as long as 20 seconds first!

Without Yu Zhen and W, K'Sante's tankiness at this time was no different from an ordinary hero, and his health was not healthy due to previous consumption.

Nautilus landed Q and connected passive, landed AWA to hit all damage, delayed E so that K'Sante still had a slow when flashing over the wall.

"Kha'Zix followed with Flash over the wall to continue the pursuit!!"

"Xun has the Red Buff, it seems he can stick to him!"

Li Xianghe was also very smart, walking towards the defensive tower without looking back.

{The defensive tower is also considered a friendly unit, which can eliminate the mark of isolation}

However, due to a miscalculation in the previous lane-swap trade, K'Sante's health was already in jeopardy after taking the full brunt of both their skills.

Kha'Zix's pursuit into the tower was determined.

Even 1-for-1 is definitely a huge profit!

At the critical moment, K'Sante's W skill finally finished refreshing. Because his health was already very low, he didn't dare to charge and directly used a quick W to pop out.

However, Kha'Zix waited for the 0.25-second stun to end, and the Q skill's long-distance 325-yard scratch was made again, the damage just enough to kill him under the tower!

He himself could walk out of the tower safely!

If K'Sante still had Yu Zhen this time, the high magic resist of Yu Zhen triggered by the quick W would be enough to help him block this Q without the blessing of isolation, perhaps there would still be a chance to 1-for-1 with Kha'Zix.

But the trap had been buried twenty seconds ago.

The key Yu Zhen had already been tricked out!

"Faker was actually killed first! T1 is a bit overwhelmed this time!" The Roaring Emperor let out a painful roar: "T1's focus is all in the river, no one can come to see this K'Sante this time!"

"It's okay, Xianghe has TP, and Kindred got the mark, it's acceptable."

Wolf was almost shouting "Not a loss."

But is that really the case?

Clearly, this attack on the mid lane was only a "secondary purpose."

Even if he couldn't kill K'Sante, forcing out two summoner spells and forcing K'Sante home, Xun's core purpose had already been achieved.

He didn't want to compete for the Scuttle Crab at all.

Xun dug a hole for Kindred... he just hoped that the other party would go and get the mark of this Scuttle Crab!

Oner was still completely unaware of this, and was even happy that he had successfully obtained the first mark that could "start the game."

But soon he discovered it too.

Because, 45 seconds after the Scuttle Crab was killed—the new mark refreshed on the Gromp in the bottom half.

And just as Oner was preparing to try to head over, having just stepped into the river, he immediately saw the movement of the opponent's bot lane, clearly having vision at the entrance.

What's more critical is when he glanced at the mid lane... he found that K'Sante's minion wave was firmly trapped under the tower!

As everyone knows, after Kindred has the first mark, the mark will expand and refresh on F6 and Gromp.

But before, Rita actually mentioned a small detail that no one noticed at all; in fact, Xun's first round of jungle clearing route was deliberately killing F6 last—

The purpose was to let F6 refresh after 4 minutes and 20 seconds—this way the mark would be fixed and refresh on the Gromp!

Then why couldn't the mark refresh on F6?

Because F6 is too close to the mid lane!

Even if K'Sante didn't have lane rights, if a fight broke out at F6, he could still forcibly participate quickly, and thus couldn't exert the support advantage of his own mid lane's lane rights!

And now, relying on the lane rights advantage played in the mid lane.

The Gromp is far enough from the mid lane, and close enough to his own bot lane; if Kindred dares to come, he is just waiting to be surrounded by both sides!

—Xun wants to lock Kindred's mark!

Oner soon realized this point too, and pursed his lips.

He had already discovered that he had been counter-designed by the opponent, but he was still as stubborn as he was at level two!

"Oner still wants to forcibly invade and steal things, but the vision in the bottom river clearly captures his movements! Nautilus has also surrounded him!" Guan Zeyuan shouted loudly.

"But Kindred Q dodged Blitzcrank's hook first, and before landing, flashed to dodge Nautilus's hook that was connected in the air! Shuttle between the two hooks and escape, Oner's movement is good!"

Rita's focus was strange: "Wow, Master Ye didn't buy tank equipment, he actually bought a Lost Chapter? The deterrent is a bit strong!"

"As expected of him, his K'Sante is played as an assassin, no problem!" Jide also said happily.

"It's just that Oner is really uncomfortable now. It's hard to catch anyone in the top, mid, and bot, and Xun keeps not hitting the Gromp, wanting to control the mark to death. He seems to only be able to clear the jungle blindly!"

【Ye-gate playing K'Sante! Xun-gate playing Kindred!】

【Big O is just a pure reckless person! Does it feel like there is no one to command, so he only knows how to do it brainlessly?】

【Sports students are like this, Big O is already the Sherlock Holmes among sports students.】

【Big Fly Big Fly Big Fly Big Fly! What on earth is Big Fly doing! Can he play K'Sante or not!】

【There isn't even a 1k economic gap, I don't know what you're rushing for. Does this lineup of T1 have no late game or what? Not to mention that it's a disadvantage now? Have they never played a disadvantageous game?】

【Hehe~ It's best if you're really not rushing~~~】

But Oner was indeed a bit rushed.

The junglers on both sides didn't rush to open the Dragon; after all, the combat power hadn't formed a suppression, and the bot lanes were both big-carry development types, so there was no certainty of winning if they opened the Dragon rashly.

But Kha'Zix, as a counter-pick, has an advantage in 1v1 in the jungle.

If he continues to clear the jungle like this, he might not be able to beat the jungle area.

By then, it will have to become Kha'Zix calling Nautilus and Blitzcrank, constantly taking turns to enter the jungle to arrest Kindred!

Don't think that Kindred is a so-called "late-game hero"—actually, if this hero doesn't have marks, her hands are ridiculously short, and her role in team fights is not much bigger than Kha'Zix's!

Basically, she is an "ultimate tool person."

And if that ultimate move isn't placed well, it will even be a negative effect!

"Xianghe-ge, I must go and hit that mark, can we go and fight together this time?" Oner saw the mid laner reach level six and asked for instructions.

Li Xianghe glanced at the opponent's mid laner's equipment: "We can fight."

It's not impossible for Nautilus to build AP; there are professional players who do so.

After all, the AP bonus of all this hero's skills is quite high, and the cost-performance ratio is not low.

But clearly, in terms of "group fight meat-to-meat" ability, AP equipment is far less strong than tank equipment that can survive longer and constantly provide continuous control.

He could also understand why.

Besides because V5's lineup has no AP heroes, it is more important to supplement a hand of {instant burst}, making it easier to help Jin Kesi start.

And although Li Xianghe's operation frequency has become lower, the only thing affected seems to be the right-hand mouse.

The F1-F6 screen-switching speed pressed by the left hand is still extremely fast, and he doesn't forget to switch screens to check the situation of the three lanes while farming under the tower.

"Support, go out and follow the jungler into the river to make vision."

"The opponent's bot lane has also missed this time, their Blitzcrank might not be that honest."

Keria heard this and immediately changed his route, stepping into the jungle with Kindred.

Kindred's bottom half hasn't refreshed yet; logically, Kha'Zix has no reason to enter the bottom half.

But at the same time... that Blitzcrank actually didn't return to base, and was sneaking into the jungle with Kha'Zix, crouching at the entrance of Kindred's F6!

This wave was purely because Beryl felt that Oner wouldn't easily let go of this mark.

To talk about the degree of "understanding."

Last year in the LCK league, Beryl, who had fought the entire T1 team for a whole year, had a degree of understanding that was much more than Ye Bo, who had only played two matches.

And because his own jungler is also a Kindred signature player, he remembers very clearly that when Xun plays Kindred, he is very persistent about marks.

"Oh, here we go."

"Is Lulu there too? Then let's hit a Flash and..."

Before Xun finished speaking, Beryl had already hooked!

His decision was no problem.

A long-range hook would directly separate Kindred from Lulu behind her, creating an {isolated} scene for Kha'Zix, which could instantly create a health gap!

Kindred didn't have Flash; there was a very high probability that she could be killed directly this time!

But for this team T1, the biggest variable appeared—"Muscle."

Perhaps it was because of the reminder from the mid laner just now that he was prepared.

Seeing the long-range hook flying out blindly from the bush, Oner instinctively dodged with a horizontal Q in the moment of his whole body shaking!

The reason why Blitzcrank is rarely seen on the field is that the Q skill of this hero is too slow in both speed and trajectory, and too easy for professional players to react to.

Even so.

The reaction of blind vision + narrow path horizontal Q was still a bit exaggerated!

Of course, it was also fortunate that this was a narrow path in the jungle, and the Lulu behind him didn't have such high vigilance.

"Dodged!! My god, what is Oner's reaction!"

"Lulu was still hooked, but if they couldn't focus fire Kindred, this 2v2 might be hard to say!"

"Nautilus has already set off in advance!"

Nautilus relied on the lane rights advantage to set off a step ahead, approaching the inside of the F6 wall.

But K'Sante also directly abandoned the minion wave and forcibly followed.

Keria, who was hooked, could only hit Lulu first. The 1-0 Kha'Zix, who was only level four, scratched Keria, who was isolated, as if he had scratched the carotid artery!

But Keria, whose health plummeted, didn't hand over any skills in the first place.

He knew very well that he had Flash and wouldn't die. If he handed over all his QWE to save his life in a panic, he would instantly become a useless person, and this frontal battle would still be at a disadvantage.

"We can fight! Kha'Zix doesn't have Flash!"

Kindred summoned the wolf spirit and stepped forward.

And at this time, Lulu finally handed over 【Whimsy】 to Kha'Zix!

The goal was clear; the big-residual Lulu didn't retreat but pursued, waiting for the Whimsy to end before using a Q to slow the two, still constantly leaning upward.

T1 has more than one person with muscles.

Keria had already made full preparations. If the opponent wanted to use Flash to kill him hard, he would immediately Flash over the wall into the tower!

Even if Nautilus used all his skills to forcibly kill him, it definitely wouldn't be a loss, because that way the opponent's frontal battlefield would inevitably collapse, and even Nautilus himself wouldn't be easy to survive.

"Sell me, I don't have Flash and can't run!"

There were too many accidents this time.

There was one more person accompanying, and it was a blind hook that was dodged, failing to focus fire on the main combat personnel, leading to the original combat power advantage seeming to no longer exist.

And Kha'Zix and Blitzcrank didn't have Flash; both of them were hard to pull away. If they didn't sell one, they would also drag their teammates into the mud.

"No need to sell, pull back a bit!" Ye Bo said while quickly examining the situation of the battle.

If they didn't sell Kha'Zix this time, they could only prepare to engage in a hard fight.

Kha'Zix didn't bury his head and run hard, but fought while retreating. After scratching again, he E-jumped backward.

Lulu and Kindred saw this and were not in a hurry. Pix hung on Kindred to help her output Blitzcrank crazily, maintaining a safe distance!

After all, they were in their own jungle, and K'Sante could almost catch up with Nautilus one after another!

"Xun, run against the wall, run against the wall!" Ye Bo pointed out a signal on the map: "Yuanshen-ge, go and stick to Kindred!"

Nautilus crossed the wall and arrived at the scene first.

The T1 crowd all noticed the opponent's equipment, knowing that this Nautilus's damage was not low, and that he had R lock-on, which was very difficult to "dodge."

But that also had a problem—Nautilus also only had one set of skills.

That is, RQ lock-on, he could only kill one person!

AP Nautilus's biggest advantage is that the damage is extremely stable, and R starting can almost certainly hit full damage every wave, which can be called "point-to-point explosion"!

But the disadvantage is that the skill CD is not short, and the shortest E skill will also not have a second set of time because it is impossible to stand in the crowd for a long time.

However, what surprised everyone was.

That Nautilus, after turning the corner of the wall, actually walked straight towards the big-residual Lulu in the pit as if he "couldn't walk after seeing a residual health."

The K'Sante behind him was very sensible, only having Kha'Zix in his eyes.

Li Xianghe knew that Kindred didn't have Flash this time. If Nautilus insisted on killing, no matter what, he couldn't be saved.

So his target was only the opponent's jungler!

Anyway, Nautilus could only kill one person at most, but with K'Sante's continuous combat ability... after killing Kha'Zix, maybe he could kill everyone!

Kha'Zix was already walking towards the river without looking back, also knowing that there were ADC supports from both sides in the jungle.

Seeing that he was about to exceed the distance.

K'Sante couldn't hesitate anymore, EW double displacement seconds out forward, close-range connected R and bumped up!

But the two were wrapped together and slanted across the wall... the direction they flew was the entrance of the Dragon Pit!

The position marked by Ye Bo's signal was a super long knock-up angle for K'Sante—it's just that the "purpose and object" this time were different.

And the frontal battlefield.

Kindred was still entangled with Blitzcrank, and Nautilus was still walking towards Lulu's face.

It's just strange that Nautilus didn't use any skills at all, as if he wanted to "save skills" and only use one AE to kill Lulu.

Keria keenly perceived the opponent's intention and was pleasantly surprised.

He even deliberately auto-attacked in place to provoke the opponent, and just as Nautilus walked to his face and raised his hand to A, Lulu immediately flashed over the wall and entered the protection of his own first tower!

But Nautilus also moved.

But he only turned the big anchor behind him and threw it towards Kindred's direction.

'Feint?'

Oner looked disdainful and easily dodged by jumping to the side with the reset Q held in his hand, making the anchor only hit the wall.

Although there was a high probability that he would still be killed by the opponent after landing, being able to live a little longer could hit more health on Blitzcrank and delay the opponent's time, waiting for K'Sante to turn back.

But immediately after.

A strange scene appeared!

Nautilus first flashed with little "green fluorescent light," and then actually... in the air where the anchor was flying... handed over an unreasonable "Flash" over the wall and crossed to the tower!!

And when facing the lock-on 【Depth Charge】 to target Lulu... but there was no ripple of the shockwave to be seen?

"Ah!?"

"Axi-ba!!!"

"Nautilus Q-Flash???"

The three people on the LCK commentary desk opened their mouths wide.

Because they clearly saw that the ripple of the Depth Charge did not appear around the target being locked on, the Lulu who was cast on face-to-face.

It was as if it had "turned a corner underground"!

Instead, it appeared under the feet of Kindred, who was thousands of yards away across the wall!!!

What's even more terrifying is... that Nautilus, who had clearly flashed over the wall, was pulled close by the giant force of the anchor in his hand the next moment, forcibly walking the "ninja space walk" and flipping back from T1's mid first tower!

Returning to the face of Kindred, who had just been knocked up and landed.

"Shifting Shadows · Seismic Waves!"

"Holy shit, what the hell!!!"

"Trickster Enchantress Tank!!!"

"Lulu was killed by the shockwave that came to lock on! And Kindred actually miraculously ate the ultimate move across a distance of thousands of yards! This is equivalent to Kindred eating Nautilus's full skills!"

"Kindred is also going to be killed! And Kha'Zix below has already been killed, but K'Sante's position is very awkward, Jin Kesi is going to surround him!!"

"What on earth happened this time!?"

The whole arena erupted with sky-filling shouts because of this scene!
