Chapter 262

Until five minutes ago, Summoner's Rift had been calm and peaceful.

Both sides had major carry C-positions in the bot lane, and neither team's composition had significant offensive pressure; since no one initiated an attack, naturally, the sparks of war would only fly when contesting objectives.

Although the Nautilus managed to stabilize his jungle development under the cover of the Cassiopeia's mid-lane advantage, the losses from that previous wave could not be made up for in the short term, and he could only force a jungle swap after respawning to avoid widening the disadvantage.

After mutual farming until the six-minute mark, the Wukong reached level six first, and the V5 members immediately started the Dragon.

"The Dragon is definitely being given up; normal development is acceptable," Guan Zeyuan said, controlling the flow while stating the obvious: "Theoretically, JDG has Ornn, and the Cassiopeia and Jin Kesi are definitely not weak in the late game."

"But this V5 composition doesn't look like it wants to farm peacefully; the mid-game combat power of K'Sante, Annie, Wukong, and Sylas is clearly stronger, so they will definitely look for tempo," Doinb said in his typical "know-it-all" fashion.

"And although it seems like the jungler and mid-laner are both suffering, in reality, the Sylas's disadvantage isn't actually that large."

At this reminder, everyone finally noticed the CS gap in the mid lane.

It was surprisingly maintained at around just 10 CS!?

In the grand scheme of things, 10 CS is actually nearly two waves of minions, worth nearly 200 gold, which is definitely quite significant in top-tier matches.

But if you think about it in detail.

This 10 CS gap only appeared after Sylas sacrificed his early game to create advantages in the jungle, while also being a reactive counter-pick that was heavily restricted in the draft.

Especially when compared to the jungle gap of at least 4 camps for the Nautilus, it instantly seemed insignificant!

To be fair, Left Hand had also played very "bravely" this game, relying on the fact that Sylas had no Flash to suppress him with all his might.

The core reason why he still couldn't suppress the CS was that Ye Bo's "X-edge Q" was becoming increasingly skillful.

Aiming with the two outer edges of the Q allowed the 【Chain Lash】, which is normally hard to hit, to expand significantly, and at the very least, the hit rate of the first part was incredibly high.

Ye Bo's thought process was very clear.

Although he was maxing Q on Sylas, he never considered forcing both parts of the Q during the laning phase—he only used the first part to poke and the second part to "shove the wave."

Counter-intuitively: Cassiopeia actually has no wave-clearing ability in the early game.

It's not because the hero herself lacks wave-clearing ability; in fact, Cassiopeia's wave-clearing is one of the best among mages.

The reason lies solely in her "mana pool"!

Cassiopeia's E skill, Twin Fang, only refunds mana if it kills a minion, and using it directly deals very low damage; it must be paired with the QW skills for increased damage.

Sylas controlled the wave-clearing tempo, causing the Cassiopeia to miss CS and concede the lane if she wanted to come up and use QE to suppress him, and once she released the wave to allow Sylas to move early to influence the jungle, it would undoubtedly cause the jungle that had finally stabilized to collapse again.

In the end, most of the Cassiopeia's laning energy could only be spent on managing the minion wave!

Doinb watched for a long time before seeing the essence, exclaiming with a slightly exaggerated tone: "Oh my, Master Ye's Sylas laning is truly playing with flowers."

"Generally speaking, no matter the hero, it is very difficult to balance shoving the wave and poking at the same time, and the Cassiopeia in this game is exactly that. But Master Ye has truly balanced this with his unique understanding of the Sylas Q skill!"

"You'll find that their health trades are actually about the same; this is too perverted!"

Scout, sitting to the side, remained silent, unable to help but secretly glance sideways at the rambling Doinb, complaining in his heart.

'What the hell is wrong with this guy?'

Doesn't he also have a grudge against Ye, so why is he starting to praise him!

Of course, Scout was not as insightful as Doinb, and secondly, their situations were different.

Doinb was clear that he could no longer return to the peak of his professional career; at least on the competitive stage, he would never have the chance to "step on" his opponents again, so he could only accept the fact of his failure against Ye Bo on the stage.

But off the stage, Ye Bo's current traffic was visibly high; just attracting some of the "Gourd Brothers" fan base was enough for his streaming career to shine a second time!

Scout was clearly different.

To this day, he still arrogantly believed that he was a world-class top-tier mid-laner, believing that as long as he had a strong set of teammates, he would definitely be able to defeat his opponent!

Scout pretended to be objective and said: "To be honest, it's still because the Cassiopeia doesn't have enough mana right now; it won't be long, once she goes home to buy a Lost Chapter, the Sylas won't be able to play like this anymore."

This statement was indeed correct, and it was also the thought of both players on the field at this moment.

The Sylas vs. Cassiopeia matchup would definitely become harder and harder to play.

Once Cassiopeia entered a state of "no mana shortage" and could recklessly QEEEEE to shove the wave, her wave-clearing speed would definitely not be weaker than most mages.

Left Hand now wanted to farm two more waves, recall to buy a Lost Chapter, and then come out to start further suppression.

But at this moment.

He suddenly sensed that the Sylas seemed to be stirring.

"Kanavi, come mid? The Sylas feels like he has an idea."

Kanavi hadn't actively ganked in these few minutes because he discovered that Sylas was maxing Q and basically wouldn't actively use E.

A Sylas who always held onto his E was clearly very difficult for a Nautilus to initiate on.

"Does he dare to make a move?" Kanavi panned his camera to look at the mid lane, slightly skeptical.

"Very likely."

Left Hand saw that Sylas had already stolen his ultimate, and felt more and more that the opponent had an idea.

After all, there was still more than a minute until the Rift Herald spawned; if it were for a Herald fight, there was no reason to steal the ultimate early, it would only waste his own cooldown.

And Left Hand looked at both sides' 70% health, and he had an extra Flash this time.

The advantage is definitely with me!

"Wait a second... 69, check the Krugs, the Wukong might be doing them." Kanavi guessed the opponent's jungler position and, for safety, called the twins to gather information.

Ornn immediately retreated toward the Krugs, attracting K'Sante's attention, who immediately followed.

And just as Ornn entered the brush, he was immediately beaten by the Wukong who had been waiting there, and he quickly covered his head and ran back to the top lane, bruised and swollen.

"He's here, he's here, he hasn't finished yet."

Kanavi was completely relieved; anyway, he was originally planning to go to the opponent's jungle, so stopping by mid on the way wasn't impossible.

The director's perspective suddenly focused on the mid lane, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.

"The ward Annie placed in the river when she left base last time played a role; Sylas has vision and sees the Nautilus entering his own jungle, so he shouldn't go for it this time."

"But the Nautilus actually has a significant risk in ganking; he is only level five right now."

"If Sylas uses the Cassiopeia ultimate to save his life and then runs toward his teammates in the top jungle, JDG shouldn't dare to chase, and it will very likely further drag down the Nautilus's development!"

"Is Sylas going for it!!"

Kanavi had also thought that Sylas had no reason to go for it and was already prepared to go to the adjacent F6 camp to farm.

As a result, he saw Sylas suddenly press forward!

And it wasn't just a fake-out press; he directly used his E forward and charged into the minion wave!

You have to know, the Wukong had only just appeared, and even if he rushed to the mid lane in a straight line, he couldn't possibly arrive.

But Left Hand was prepared.

He backhanded his W poison cloud precisely under the opponent's feet, applying both grounded and poisoned effects, and followed up with frantic spitting of 【Twin Fang】!

The Nautilus also walked out from the corner behind him!

Sylas was in the middle of the minion wave, and the Nautilus couldn't initiate immediately—but Sylas gritted his teeth and endured the poison fangs, moving forward, wanting to walk out of the poison cloud range first.

Cassiopeia also followed, pressing forward to stand in the minion wave, while her finger was already hovering over the R key.

Since JDG treated Cassiopeia as their secret weapon against Sylas, they had naturally verified it many times.

First of all, Cassiopeia generally wouldn't actively use her ultimate in a duel!

A large part of the reason why this hero is rarely seen on the competitive stage is the difficulty of hitting the ultimate head-on; professional players have the potential to react to it.

For example, when Li Li Xianghe was young, he had a performance known as "Never Petrified," avoiding it by turning around with instant reaction.

Left Hand had no doubt that Ye Bo also possessed such reaction speed!

And if Cassiopeia wants to reliably land the petrification with her ultimate, especially when laning against Sylas, there are two foolproof situations:

{Sylas actively uses E}!

{Sylas initiates with the stolen Cassiopeia R}!

The former is because Sylas cannot operate while in the air during his E, and even after hitting, he cannot cancel it with Flash, so he will inevitably land "facing the Cassiopeia" and be petrified.

This is the most ideal situation for Cassiopeia against Sylas, and it is also the reason why Sylas is almost never able to actively attack Cassiopeia.

It's directly equivalent to missing an E skill, unable to get close!

Left Hand didn't expect Ye Bo to be that stupid.

So only the latter remained—wait for Sylas to initiate with R, and once Cassiopeia sees the casting animation, rely on reaction to use her own R reactively for a stable "clash" of mutual petrification!

Left Hand didn't think about trying to turn his head to dodge the ultimate.

Because he had the intent to kill!

Not to mention that the operation of "turning the head to dodge the ultimate" couldn't be 100% reliably achieved even by the young Li Li Xianghe, and if it went wrong, he might even be counter-killed; with Cassiopeia's advantage, there was no need to take the risk.

Even if he really dodged it, Cassiopeia's own ultimate still couldn't guarantee a hit!

Cassiopeia's ultimate landing the petrification is even more important for herself—after all, a full 2-second petrification effect allows for at least 2-3 free Twin Fangs, which is two or three hundred points of extra output lost!

And Cassiopeia using her R reactively face-to-face can achieve 100% stable mutual petrification, and because it takes effect reactively, she can be the first to break free from the petrification state... not to mention that there were teammates behind her!

Without a doubt, this is the only correct answer that any "Cassiopeia master" would definitely make in this situation.

However, precisely because of this.

It was the reason why Ye Bo made this move.

Sylas had just walked out of the poison cloud range, but his health was already about to drop below 30%.

The Nautilus wasn't in a hurry; anyway, in everyone's eyes, this Sylas was no different from a dead man, and no matter how you looked at it, it was a death sentence.

And just at this moment, Sylas turned into a purple shadow, transforming into Cassiopeia.

The Medusa's 【Petrifying Gaze】 from "The Way of Others" charged up, eyes opening to stare forward fiercely.

Look at me! You brat!

But Left Hand had been waiting for a long time, and almost at the same time the opponent made his move, he reacted with lightning speed, simultaneously charging up to stare forward.

Cassiopeia and "Cassiopeia" faced each other, four pupils staring straight!

Suddenly, green light appeared!

"Oh my, the two in mid lane seem to be clashing ultimates! This mutual ultimate clash is really..."

"Eh!?"

"Huh?????"

The commentary desk had just let out a cry of surprise, but an absolutely "supernatural" scene appeared on the Rift!

Just look, right under everyone's eyes.

The Medusa transformed by Sylas actually suddenly "twisted" her entire upper body behind her!

It was in the true sense, a visibly turned head—just like when someone calls your name from behind, the kind of turn where you twist your body to look!

Even more bizarre was that the green light of the gaze belonging to Sylas, in terms of animation effect, was actually used in "reverse," as if it were a divine light emitted from a pair of eyes growing on his back!

And immediately after.

In the place where they were staring at each other, there was only one petrified stone statue.

A stone snake.

Sylas used Petrifying Gaze to clear the minions in front of him, Q smashed out in a triangular shape aiming at the bottom of the stone snake's feet, and then threw out E2 to forcefully pull himself close!

"Sylas!! Sylas wasn't stunned!?"

"What does this mean!"

"And why does Sylas's damage seem a bit high! Is this damage right!"

It was shown earlier that the Q skill damage at the same skill level is at least 1.5 times higher than W, it's just hard to hit both parts.

And there was a reason why Ye Bo deliberately charged into the minion wave to let Cassiopeia hit him for free, and deliberately waited until 30% health to make a move.

30% health exactly triggers the full stack of {Last Stand} for up to 11% increased damage, which can make up for Sylas's damage!

Speaking of which, there is another small foreshadowing.

Actually, when Left Hand TP'd out for the first time, he had considered the risk of being all-in'd by Sylas, and originally wanted to wait for money to buy a Ruby Crystal—but because of the jungle accident, he had to buy a Sapphire Crystal and TP to lane immediately!

The missing 150 health points seemed to become the final straw that broke the Cassiopeia at this moment.

Cassiopeia didn't even manage to use Flash; before the 2-second petrification ended, she had already been whipped to pieces, turning into a pile of scattered gravel!

If he hadn't calculated the damage, Ye Bo wouldn't have made a move.

"Solo kill! Another solo kill in the mid lane!!!"

"How can he counter-kill like this!"

"What about the Nautilus? Sylas has even more health after killing the Cassiopeia! He even healed with W!!"

"Why, even though it was a mutual R, Sylas wasn't stunned..."

Countless questions and doubts lingered in everyone's minds.

The core key was that Cassiopeia ultimate.

It was too bizarre!

Even in the ancient era, Cassiopeia had to rely on Flash to change the starting direction of her ultimate to achieve the effect of "Reverse R-Flash"—and that thing had already been deleted by the designers ten years ago!

The current Cassiopeia R-Flash can only change the starting position, not the "direction."

Not to mention that everyone clearly saw that Sylas really "twisted" his head, and he didn't even have Flash!

The director quickly cut to the replay.

Watching the replay, everyone was immediately stunned.

The reality seemed to be even more outrageous!

Because observing carefully in slow motion, you would find that Sylas didn't just twist his head once, but was constantly twisting back and forth, that snake head was just like a spinning top!

He straightened his head when his gaze was released, and turned his head away the moment the eye contact was completed.

Avoiding the opponent's gaze with his back turned, which led to the animation of the gaze light appearing in reverse, and he himself didn't have the "one-way petrification" of making eye contact with the opponent's Cassiopeia!

Of course, if Ye Bo wanted to, he could also appear to be facing forward while actually petrifying the rear, in short, this is:

"Omnidirectional Petrifying Gaze!"

【In the river, very in the river, as everyone knows, since ancient times, the left side loses in a clash, except for Dyna the pig!】

【No problem, wasn't there a ward behind him anyway... he could also make eye contact.】

【Holy crap! It has to be the brother from Chengdu, he really has an understanding!】

【Ye Wen is too insidious! He said he would make eye contact, but he secretly wore sunglasses! Unfair!】

【I am Louis XVI, I have been reborn, now offer your head sensitivity and Venmo me 50, and I will appoint you as the first commander under my throne.】

【Damn, met a real ten, just here giving out 'empty checks'?】

Very clearly, this was another "technique" exclusive to Sylas.

The principle is actually very simple; it is a technique that many people have seen or heard of, but never thought could be used this way—Sylas can perform "Zhonya's Dance" by pressing the Q skill during the Zhonya's process to change his facing direction.

This was originally just an "Easter egg," and had no practical significance.

Ye Bo thought so at the beginning too.

Until later he discovered that it could be used not only during the Zhonya's process, but actually during the use of R and E skills as well!

Through further exploration, he roughly guessed the true principle.

Before S9, Sylas could still RQ and EQ, that is, use Q during E, and both skills would fly out together.

It was only modified by the designers later because it was too strong in actual combat and difficult to counter.

So how did the smart designers change it?

They probably didn't delete the original code, but just added a line before the E and R code, similar to: {Must wait for the skill casting to complete before Q skill can be cast}.

As a result, a magical chemical reaction occurred.

Q was only restricted by the subsequent code, but the previous line of code still existed, and logically it could still be "used" during E and R, it just couldn't be truly "used out"...

Therefore, Sylas could still "prepare to use Q" during the process of E and R to change the direction during casting.

And if anyone carefully looked for videos of Sylas's "Zhonya's Easter egg," they would find that this was an Easter egg technique that only appeared after that.

However, if you think this technique is only useful against Cassiopeia.

Then you are thinking too simply.

In fact—the existence of this mechanism is the key that truly unlocks Sylas's "operation ceiling"!

"What's the situation?" Kanavi looked at the mid lane with a confused face, while his hands were comfortably taking over the minion wave to enjoy the farm.

This was a counter-hero hand-picked by the coach.

And he got solo killed!?

"I... I..." Left Hand was still in a daze until now: "It's just, very weird."

It can be said that at present, no one would associate that operation just now with that strange Easter egg.

Left Hand was even thinking at the first moment if it was a bug!

And on the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan looked at the time and suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.

"There is a very serious problem now... it's seven minutes in, Sylas's ultimate cooldown is very fast, but Cassiopeia definitely doesn't have an ultimate!"

"Can they take the Herald? The opponent has K'Sante and Wukong, their top-mid-jungle fighting ability is very strong!"

Sylas's ultimate 80-second cooldown is quite short, and he himself buys cooldown items, so he can be nearly a minute faster than Cassiopeia.

Originally, V5's top-mid-jungle was already stronger in this wave; K'Sante and Wukong are both masters of hard engagement, so this Rift fight was already in the bag. V5 was also very steady, not in a hurry to start, wanting to wait for Sylas's ultimate to come off cooldown before making a move.

Kanavi knew they couldn't take the Rift fight, so he naturally wanted to make a move on the bot lane.

But it was clear that V5's double TP was ready to rescue the bot lane, so side-lane attacks wouldn't be that easy.

"In that case, we can only..."

Approaching 9 minutes, the V5 members finally started the Rift Herald.

At this time, JDG hadn't appeared on the map, but Ye Bo was certain that Cassiopeia's ultimate still had at least twenty seconds, so JDG would likely not come to take the fight, and he told the bot lane to be careful as the opponent also had TP.

And as expected.

Just as V5 was halfway through the Rift Herald, the Nautilus had already walked out from behind the bot lane!

"Brother Shengqiang Ge, you retreat and TP!" Ye Bo reminded him.

K'Sante has strong counter-attack ability under the tower, even if there are actually five people behind the opponent, he can temporarily hold them off.

V5 definitely couldn't have two people TP at the same time; after all, JDG's top and mid were still missing, and if they were playing a "hollow city" strategy to trick two people away and then come out 2v1 to steal the Herald, it would be a loss.

But just as K'Sante retreated and lit up his TP, a sheep's cry resounded through the Rift!

But K'Sante followed orders and didn't stand inside the Herald pit to TP.

This lava sheep spirit that rushed over couldn't find K'Sante's trail!

369 was anxious, afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the mission and harm his teammates, so he directly sat on the blast cone and bounced down into the dragon pit, finally seeing K'Sante outside the river!

Xun stepped forward, clearly wanting to interrupt with his ultimate.

369 was at his clearest when playing this kind of hero, knowing that Wukong had the ability to interrupt his second-stage R, so he wasn't planning to run when he came down.

Ornn directly flashed forward into the 800-yard range and knocked out a Q 【Volcanic Rupture】.

The lava pillar spreading from the ground to the end suddenly rose, knocking K'Sante away!

"Damn!"

Ye Bo immediately wanted to pull away and TP, but saw a Cassiopeia walking down from the wall behind him again.

It was clear.

The mission these two received was to not let them TP!

"I have to TP! Xun, help me block the Cassiopeia!"

Ye Bo ignored these two and directly rushed into his own jungle, wanting to find a safe TP spot.

Anyway, Wukong and K'Sante 2v2 wasn't a big problem, it was unlikely they couldn't win, at most it was a question of killing a few.

The bot lane was the key!

And at this time, the battle below had already begun.

Beryl was pre-stacking his passive, but only had three stacks in hand.

Nautilus directly hooked into the tower!

But just at this moment, a big bear suddenly appeared in his face, forcefully taking the hook, almost making the hook step in place!

Support Annie doesn't rely on the damage of her ultimate.

TP takes 4.5 seconds to land, Ye Bo hadn't even found a safe TP position, and Beryl knew he had to stall for enough time.

If Nautilus landed his combo, it was very likely that the three of them would focus fire to kill one person, let Jin Kesi go berserk, and then finish them off!

But JDG's top jungle had blocked them with their lives, and their intent to kill was resolute.

The Nautilus, blocked outside the tower, didn't care and continued to walk into the tower, his ultimate 【Depth Charge】 locking onto the AD—at the same time, he flashed into the wall to change his position!

Lulu directly used DF combo to rush into the field, put her ultimate on the Nautilus who was tanking the tower, and used the second knock-up to deal double control!

"Oh my, Kanavi is really good!" Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up.

"Nautilus's 'Direction-Changing R-Flash' knocks up Annie first, Jin Kesi lays down traps, Lulu gives the polymorph, Annie might die without using anything!"

"Depth Charge's tracking is still following Zeri! She shouldn't be able to run!"

Nautilus's sudden eruption caught V5's bot lane off guard, and at this time, Ye Bo had just rushed into his safe jungle, and his TP lit up.

Fortunately, Annie used her bear to block for a moment, not being killed instantly, and barely managed to throw out her W with passive to slow the two behind her.

But Ruler decisively used Cleanse to instantly solve it, skillfully switching guns for a gun-and-cannon symphony, killing Annie with one shot to trigger his passive 【Get Excited!】 and continuing to chase forward!

Deft's Zeri activated R first and then flashed to pull away, but Nautilus's tracking R couldn't be dodged.

Depth Charge knocked Zeri high into the air, and the moment she landed, a blue light of Cleanse flashed on Zeri—Deft never did the great deed of using Cleanse to solve a knock-up, this was to remove {Stun}.

Nautilus is different from other knock-up heroes.

The ultimate skill description explicitly states knock-up and {Stun 1/1.5/2 seconds}!

And, even if you want to solve this stun, you must have both feet thoroughly touching the ground and a stun icon appearing on your head to solve it; you can't solve it while still in the air from the knock-up!

However, although Zeri activated her ultimate, the ultimate's movement speed requires auto-attacks to stack, and she couldn't outrun the berserk Jin Kesi at this moment.

Deft knew the opponent still had Flash, so running blindly was meaningless, so he turned back to kite the opponent, trying to intimidate the opponent by lowering their health.

But Ruler didn't retreat a single step, and the gun-and-cannon output supported by Pix was considerable.

Zeri, who had already taken quite a bit of AOE damage, had her health drop into the danger zone!

About to chase into the second tower.

Jin Kesi fired another rocket launcher shot, but at this shot, Deft heard a harsh whistling sound in his ears.

It was the sound of 【Super Mega Death Rocket!】 being loaded!

Deft's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously wanted to move diagonally to dodge.

As a player who is also good at Jin Kesi, he naturally knew what this operation was—the moment Jin Kesi auto-attacks in rocket launcher form, she can use the "recoil" animation of the auto-attack to completely hide the starting action and direction of the ultimate.

Forming the effect of "Hidden R"!

This is because the casting animation of Jin Kesi's ultimate and the auto-attack in rocket launcher form are almost exactly the same in the true sense!

If it weren't for the special sound effect of the ultimate, you wouldn't even be able to notice it.

And the most important practical effect of this operation is that it makes it impossible for the opponent to judge the aiming direction of the missile based on Jin Kesi's orientation.

Deft could only rely on instinct to move upward to pull away, but immediately after, his eyes showed surprise.

Because the delayed Death Rocket was actually aimed upward!

"Ruler!! Jin Kesi got a double kill!!" Guan Zeyuan was so excited he almost beat his chest and stomped his feet, loudly explaining the key to this wave for his idol.

"【Super Mega Death Rocket!】 cannot change direction once it leaves the hand; Ruler didn't even need to use Flash to predict the movement! He is so confident!"

"This is Ruler, JDG's true anchor!"

The missile executed, followed by two more rocket shots.

Although Jin Kesi was brought down to half health by the second tower, she successfully killed Zeri and regained her passive to run out quickly!

And at this time, Sylas, who had been delayed for a long time by the two in the top jungle, finally successfully landed his TP.

"This wave is really too critical! If they had killed one less person in the bot lane, JDG might not have made a profit!"

Guan Zeyuan continued to ramble on with his explanation.

"Ornn and Cassiopeia in the top jungle were solo killed by K'Sante and Wukong respectively, and the Herald will also be lost, but the bot lane also harvested a double kill, 2 for 2, JDG has Jin Kesi getting the kills, this is definitely acceptable!"

"Even if they lose the Herald, the bot lane can also swap to eat plates, and there's even a chance for the first tower; if they can grab the first tower, JDG makes a huge profit this wave!"

"By the way, by the way, V5 also had two TPs forced out! Sylas's TP down here is already useless!"

JDG's decision-making in this wave was very bold, but it proved to be successful.

As long as JDG could dive the bot lane duo, even if the two in the top jungle died, the cost of an equal 2v2 swap, giving Jin Kesi the economy, was definitely a profit!

Of course, in the plan, JDG didn't prepare to let the two in the top jungle "sacrifice" themselves.

The original plan should have been for Ornn to interrupt from a long distance with his ultimate, or at worst, let Cassiopeia go down with a blast cone to throw a W, and then Flash back...

It's just that they didn't expect Brother Shengqiang Ge to be able to walk back a few steps with full discipline to break vision at such a critical moment, forcing Ornn to come down and be forced to drag Cassiopeia into the water.

And with the two dead, V5 would launch a charge on the first tower immediately after finishing the Herald.

This meant that JDG also had to attack the bot lane first tower in this wave.

The remaining three only thought for a moment before gathering together to head back to the minion wave.

Although Nautilus was at half health because of tanking the tower, and Jin Kesi was at half health because of the chase.

But Jin Kesi still had Flash in hand, and had Lulu's protection, so there was no danger at all—even if Sylas wanted to defend the tower, he himself might be in danger!

"Master Ye, the AD has Flash, everyone else has no skills."

Deft saw that Ye Bo didn't leave, didn't say any more nonsense at this time, just tacitly provided the information.

Beryl was biting his fingers, also thinking about how to operate at this time, thinking about making plans.

"If it really doesn't work, being able to trade for Jin Kesi is also a profit..."

Even he felt that if they wanted to operate in this wave, it would be very dangerous.

After all, Jin Kesi still had Flash, and once Sylas failed to kill Jin Kesi first, he might be counter-killed!

Sylas already had a small bounty after the previous wave, and if he gave Jin Kesi another kill, plus the first tower and plates, he might become a hidden danger later on.

But Beryl ultimately didn't speak, as if there was a kind of inexplicable trust.

Feeling that if he wanted to do it, he could do it!

Of course.

Actually, the reason Ye Bo wanted to take the risk to operate was because he felt that Jin Kesi had already become a hidden danger in this wave.

He wanted to nip this hidden danger in the bud!

And Ruler on the other side thought the same: "If he comes up, we can kill him, you guys save your skills!"

"I'll save the polymorph!" Missing immediately responded with concern: "You have to be careful, with your health, it feels like you might be burst to death by him."

Ruler's tone was indeed very confident: "He can't touch me."

Kanavi also knew that the big picture was important at this moment, actively leaning forward to not give Sylas a position, protecting the AD.

The three had already entered the tower and started to dismantle the defensive tower, clearly not wanting to make a move actively.

After all, Sylas also had all his skills, so making a move actively would easily reveal flaws and give opportunities.

But just at this moment, Sylas suddenly E1 rushed forward!

Lulu immediately and keenly put a shield on with E, but held onto the polymorph without rushing to use it, and Jin Kesi backhanded two shots with the support of Pix.

Sylas didn't seem to find a suitable opportunity and walked back under the tower.

But just at the moment he returned under the tower, Sylas suddenly turned his head to brush against the minion wave under the defensive tower, threw an E at the minion wave behind him, and at the same time aimed the stolen 【Depth Charge】 at the Nautilus...

And just at this moment.

Two golden lights flashed at the same time!

Jin Kesi and Sylas flashed almost at the exact same time!

Ruler's heart was full of pride and disdain.

Just now, seeing Sylas steal the Nautilus ultimate, he had already thought of this move—the direction-changing R-Flash that his own jungler had just used, wanting to instantly rush into his face and use the ultimate!

To be fair, this is indeed very difficult to dodge by reaction.

But you can rely on advance judgment.

Clearly, as long as Sylas dared to use E into the faces of three people, he was destined to have no return, it was impossible not to make this move.

Ruler had long been prepared to use Flash to pull away from the opponent, making the Nautilus ultimate that started the rush miss!

Even if Sylas's damage wasn't low, the stolen ultimate locked onto the Nautilus behind him, and he himself failed to touch Jin Kesi.

Lulu's polymorph, followed by Nautilus's control and then Jin Kesi's traps, was enough to let Sylas be beaten and surrounded to death in place!

At this time, Jin Kesi flashed to pull away, and Sylas no longer had any opportunity to touch Jin Kesi!

However... Sylas transformed into the appearance of Nautilus in the air.

He fiercely raised his anchor, and before the polymorph spell flew over, he changed his posture in the air again, aiming the anchor direction at the direction Jin Kesi flashed to.

And the anchor of the illusion disappeared.

What was actually thrown out were two chains!

A giant wave surged from the deep sea—from the front of the direction where the chains were, a shockwave suddenly exploded, knocking Jin Kesi, who was clearly at least 400 yards away from Sylas, high into the air "across the air"!

Performing a "Rotating Shockwave"!

At the same time, a pair of terrifying chains were thrown out heavily from the hands of the "little kitten" who had been hit by the "Polymorph" and hooked back!

The knock-up of the deep-sea shockwave helped the chains connect to the second-stage explosion.

The shockwave and the chains almost completely overlapped, simply like a "self-fusion skill."

The instantaneous double explosion blew Jin Kesi's fragile body into pieces!

【Shutdown!】

"OH! MY! GOD!"

"What happened! What happened here!!!"

"Why does this scene feel a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere? It seems to be Master Ye's Nautilus! Hey, but isn't this Sylas!"

"Sylas can also do Nautilus's operations!?"

"It's over! Isn't JDG's wave completely blown up!"

At the same time, the deep-sea shockwave continued to track in reverse, first knocking up Lulu along the way, and finally smashing onto the Nautilus's body!

Because the Nautilus was tanking the tower while hooking Sylas, he was knocked up under the tower by the deep-sea shockwave filled with magical energy, and it was highly likely he was already a dead man.

Sylas directly ignored the rear and continued to chase Lulu.

Once Jin Kesi died, none of the three could run away!

And just as some people had already seen.

This was precisely the derivative of the "Anchor is the Body" mechanism of Nautilus—Sylas using the "RQ mechanism," even if the skill types were different, could also use the same "Anchor is the Body" mechanism!

Of course, it should be called "Whip is the Body"!

The triple kill sound resounded through the Rift, and exclamations and screams echoed inside and outside the Copper Box Arena!

【So damn cool, family! This actually works too!】

【Damn! Master Sylas, you can do this too?】

【Damn, stealing skills is one thing, but how come you also steal niche ultimate techniques and mechanisms, and even stole Nautilus's weapon?】

【The true God of Thieves! You really just dare to stand in front of me, and I'll let you know what it means to have even your underwear stolen to your face!】

【Watch the video and learn quickly, can this move be learned clearly~】

【JDG's true anchor? My old Sun is pulling out the anchor!】

"This..." Guan Zeyuan was a bit stunned.

Doinb hurriedly praised without any effort: "Master Ye is too strong! This operation is really only something he can pull off! JDG spent all their effort from the beginning trying to target the mid lane, but didn't expect that in the end, it was the mid lane that opened up this game!"

"From the jungle support and encirclement, to the solo kill in the lane, to the extreme breakthrough in the side lane, this is the display of personal ability!"

"He is the true thief..."

Scout, who originally wanted to continue to remain silent on the other side, suddenly felt like he had been pointed at.

Afraid of being liquidated again, he hurriedly added: "This Sylas is indeed going to be invincible, three kills and a shutdown, V5's composition is already relatively strong in mid-game fighting, JDG is going to have a hard time from now on."

This wave was not just Sylas instantly becoming super fed.

The most important thing was that Jin Kesi, who should have eaten full plates + first tower + three kills in this wave and instantly taken off, turned into only getting two kills.

Originally, she might have gotten nearly 2000 gold, but now two kills were only 600 gold!

It can be said that she had just taken off, and in the blink of an eye, she was whipped down from the sky!

And Jin Kesi also used both summoner spells...

The next five minutes could only be described as Ruler's nightmare.

Annie, with Wukong, had a clear goal, traveled through the jungle to arrive at the top lane in advance to ambush, predicting that the opponent would come to swap lanes, and they actually caught him!

Two flashes smashed into his face, the low-profile fire monkey burst was still amazing, and Jin Kesi, who had just left base, died again immediately!

And just as the fire monkey left, a K'Sante came!

If Jin Kesi's development was explosive enough, even without summoner spells, she could rely on development and operation, but at this time, seeing K'Sante, she only had the part of running for her life.

Misfortunes never come singly.

Bad news came from the side lane again!

Sylas used E outside the tower to aim at Cassiopeia, causing Left Hand's originally closed heart to suddenly ignite with burning hope!

It was said earlier that in JDG's research, Cassiopeia had a way to hit a guaranteed ultimate against Sylas, but it was also the way with the least reason to appear—that is, Sylas actively using E into her face.

Cassiopeia desperately opened her eyelids, widening her eyes as if she wanted to vent all her resentment!

However, Ye Bo showed it even more vividly this time.

Using the {"Functional" Reverse Q} while using E to adjust his facing direction, Sylas performed a "Back-Turned Forceful Pull" with his back turned, using his back to face Cassiopeia's gaze and ignoring it.

And used ERQ at the landing point to turn his head again to use "Landing Twist Head Petrification"!

When Cassiopeia died again.

The JDG fans who could see the situation clearly and Coach Redmi in the background had no hope for this game.

The reason is simple, because Cassiopeia is the only hero who can split-push against a super-fed Sylas, and letting Ornn, who has no damage, or the bot lane duo defend is just giving them a spinning top to whip.

But they now discovered... Cassiopeia, it seems, doesn't counter Sylas that much!

Mainly, the opponent seems to really be able to never be petrified!

Zeri farmed without pressure and her equipment quickly surpassed Jin Kesi's.

Annie, K'Sante, and Wukong, the three major popular heroes of the version, showed their power in the mid-game, plus Sylas who stole Ornn's ultimate, V5's strong engagement ability was explosively strong!

The front line collapsed at the first touch, and JDG could only stubbornly defend their city.

But by the time they got the double dragons at 27 minutes, everything was already destined.

Sylas once again initiated with the ultimate to call the sheep, hitting the second-stage sheep with a textbook perfect angle; the lava sheep spirit, which was usually harmless, seemed to become scary under the blessing of magic at this time, hitting with terrifying damage!

The barrage was full of 【Hand, did you learn it?】.

The sheep passed through the crystal, and JDG's main crystal finally collapsed into a pile in the sound of bursting!
