Chapter 282: Stacking electricity, overlapping shadows, thousand illusions, phantom tracking

~16 min read 3,161 words

The V5 crowd saw the opponent suddenly start to press forward, and then saw Akali, who disappeared but did not appear

"Might want to dive!"

"I can TP, I can TP!" Brother Shengqiang Ge immediately wants to retreat and press TP.

"No, no, the top laner must save TP!" Ye Bo shouts to stop him immediately: "I can TP, Brother Shengqiang Ge just eat the tower!"

Because in the previous laning phase, LeBlanc had forced Akali to recall first, successfully saving a TP to walk to the lane, so he still has TP in hand for this wave.

In V5's understanding of the new version—the BP ecological niche of the top lane is vastly different from the version in the first half of the year.

This is actually the initial architecture of V5's BP in these two games, and the reason why they didn't think about going bot at all in the early game, letting EDG protect the bot lane to crazily push the lane and eat plating.

And V5 managed to kill Jayce with great difficulty this time; if Renekton TPs down, Jayce will eat two extra waves of minions after TPing back to the lane, and the top lane advantage will be instantly reversed or even overtaken.

That would contradict the tactics V5 formulated before the match.

Come to think of it, Brother Shengqiang Ge's playstyle has actually always had a "small problem."

Many times he is too neglectful of his own development, putting team dedication too far above his own matchup—this has been the case since he was willing to not lane at level one to accompany the jungler in an invasion during the S11 finals.

This is also Li Xuanjun's idea, knowing that his current strength is not what it used to be, and wanting to extract as much of his value as possible to provide utility for the team.

This kind of playstyle is fine in a version where the top lane is mostly a utility position.

It can even be said to be a unique advantage that the vast majority of top laners who play with a "solo" and "carry" mindset absolutely do not possess, and can even be said to be very difficult to "train."

However, if it is a version where the top lane ecological niche is important, and he still maintains this playstyle.

Then it is very easy to put the cart before the horse, and in the end, it might even harm others and himself.

The good news is that the team Brother Shengqiang Ge is currently in has one primary and one secondary backup brain, so this kind of mistake is actually very rare now.

"Renekton's position doesn't seem to want to TP?" Jie Jie glanced at the opponent's position.

Originally, EDG just wanted to force the opponent's TP to alleviate the losses in the top and mid lanes,

But at this moment, they saw Renekton not retreating, already starting to move forward to eat plating.

"If only one person TPs, I feel like we can dive!" Meiko thought for a moment and said.

"I can keep an eye on Renekton!" A Le has already respawned and used TP, flying out full of confidence.

"Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive!"

The EDG members make a prompt decision.

With Renekton's current position, Jayce can chase and monitor him all the way after landing his TP.

That is to say, even if Renekton still wants to TP now, he must at least walk from under the enemy's top outer tower to under his own tower to avoid being interrupted.

And the bot lane has been pushed in after all, so even if V5's bot lane is steady, it's impossible to maintain full health.

At this time, even if LeBlanc TPs down, it's still 4 against 3!

EDG still has the foundation of a championship team's bloodline, so their sense of battle opportunities is naturally not too bad, knowing this is an excellent opportunity to make a move!

"EDG is going to make a move directly, LeBlanc cancels the recall and uses TP!"

"Akali eats the wave and hits level six, but EDG is a bit lacking in initiation means this wave, can only let Sejuani walk in and auto-attack!"

Caitlyn paired with a soft support, although the laning suppression is strong, fighting and tower diving are quite lacking.

If the support this wave were a Leona, Nautilus, or Alistar, as long as they went directly into the tower and controlled them, Caitlyn could follow up with a trap and kill one on the spot; once the numbers are reduced first, there would be no more risks.

But lacking initiation skills, Nami's Q is EDG's most important hard CC skill and cannot be used for initiation, so they can only let Sejuani foolishly walk into the tower to initiate.

"EDG wants to prioritize focusing fire on Kai'Sa, and should also strive not to trade kills, otherwise, if LeBlanc lands and trades kills, it won't be profitable!"

"Uzi's two very detailed 'alley traps' block the road, blocking Kai'Sa's retreat!"

Kai'Sa looks like she wants to pull back into the alley on the side of the tower.

But Caitlyn's two traps behind the tower with tricky angles directly sealed the retreat, wanting to force Kai'Sa to detour to the outer circle of the tower and walk past Sejuani's face.

And these two traps were not placed "close together," but separated by a small distance.

Because {after the first Caitlyn trap is stepped on, if it is removed by Cleanse or Quicksilver, it will be in a state of "immunity to repeated CC" for 0.75 seconds}

Uzi knows Caitlyn so well, knowing that Kai'Sa has a Cleanse in hand, so he deliberately widened the distance between the two traps, determined to block this road!

But if we talk about the understanding of Caitlyn alone.

Deft is only above the opponent!

He just walked up hard against the traps, and just as he was about to step on the trap, he activated his E skill 【Supercharge】 to accelerate.

And the moment the trap tightened, he used {Cleanse} to instantly remove it; his rooted figure continued to move forward at high speed without seeing any pause, and the acceleration of Supercharge was still maintained!

{Root CC, actually does not "interrupt" Kai'Sa's E skill! }

With the acceleration of the E skill, Kai'Sa ignored the second trap and stepped directly over it, flying to the back of the tower.

Successfully dragging this battle line to the back of the tower!

This position is a bit awkward for EDG—because once everyone presses in, they will inevitably be unable to escape after LeBlanc lands, and there will be a high probability of being traded!

"LeBlanc is coming down!!" Fofo, in a hurry, had thoughts of retreating, subconsciously shouting the Taiwan server name for LeBlanc: "Should we forget it?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no! I can keep LeBlanc!" Uzi, who had entered the zone, roared with a red face.

Fofo didn't dare to hesitate, Akali had already started her ultimate and jumped in.

And Caitlyn, aiming at the fixed landing position of the TP behind the tower, placed a third reserve trap, while changing targets, and began to attack the Nautilus who still wanted to keep people in his face.

The decision of the two V5 members below also changed.

"Hit Akali, Brother Hekui!" Beryl shouted urgently.

Actually, if Kai'Sa, who had already pulled away, used her two summoner spells to flash backward this wave, and then let Nautilus help to forcibly keep them, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

It's just that Nautilus would definitely die, and Kai'Sa using all her skills would just be an escape, and in the end, it would still be a blood-losing result.

Because, LeBlanc would have nothing to do when she lands!

It is precisely because of this that Kai'Sa chose to give up running and turned to start outputting on the Akali in her face.

Nautilus threw Ignite at Akali, and he used all his skills to block the duo—in fact, if the skills were thrown at Sejuani who was tanking the tower, the two of them would likely be able to trade the opponent.

But the same goes for that.

In that case, LeBlanc would have nothing to do when she lands!

To put it bluntly, this wave of forced hard diving by the opponent at the cost of four people, the bot lane duo will definitely lose; even if they trade a kill, they will definitely lose the tower and minion waves.

Then at least, don't let the mid lane be dragged down to lose together!

As long as LeBlanc can pick up even one kill when she lands, at least this wave won't be in vain, and it won't affect the mid lane at the bottom line.

This is clearly V5's unique tactical thinking.

However, the commentary desk didn't understand at first: "V5 duo actually didn't focus fire on Sejuani who was tanking the tower? Nautilus flashed to keep Akali, but Akali can't be focused and killed by them!"

"And LeBlanc was trapped by Caitlyn the moment she landed! Nami followed up with a bubble!"

Sejuani specifically held back her Q skill, and after tanking to a dangerous health line, she went directly out of the tower towards the top of the tower, avoiding being traded as much as possible.

Akali turned to start attracting the aggro of the overheated defensive tower and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Kai'Sa was in the back of the minion pile and didn't have an angle to use E, so Akali could only stab out with R2 to deal most of the damage, then quickly flashed away from under the tower to join Sejuani above.

Akali took two overheated tower shots and still had more than half health, and the two of them were enough to cover each other's escape after joining Sejuani.

Unfortunately, due to the laning disadvantage in the early game, Akali's equipment from the first recall was too poor, and she couldn't buy the regular {Generator} at level six; she only had a Doran's Shield + Amplifying Tome this wave.

This also led to this R that should have been a kill, but Kai'Sa still had a sliver of health!

But Uzi opened fire.

Caitlyn first raised her hand to auto-attack Nautilus, instantly switched to auto-attack LeBlanc who was locked by the trap for a {Reset Auto-Attack}, then instantly used the "E-Flash forward" to hit Kai'Sa with the E skill net, again resetting the passive headshot for a long-range thousand-yard auto-attack.

Successfully killed Kai'Sa first!

And landing by the recoil, he just happened to exit the tower without being kept by Nautilus, while the three auto-attacks he instantly dealt earlier successfully accumulated the headshot passive.

The fourth headshot auto-attack accumulated by the "Three-Way Headshot" aimed again at the Nautilus in his face!

"Uzi!!!" Wawa is suspected of impersonating a friend in prison.

"I said last year at the S-tournament that our LPL also has Caitlyn! This proficiency is too high!"

"In this case, Sejuani and Akali should be able to retreat from the back together, LeBlanc's health is also very unhealthy, but should be able to save Nautilus... Wait, Master Ye, he's still going up!?"

Caitlyn's sharp shooting wave instantly reversed EDG's originally heart-attack-inducing situation.

Kai'Sa is dead, Nautilus's state is also unhealthy, and LeBlanc also lost one-third of her health upon landing, looking like there are no more opportunities for operation this wave.

It's just the pork that the V5 bot lane duo specifically left for Ye Bo just now.

He couldn't let it go.

Of course, although the EDG members' "brains are not very good" now, their muscles are still online.

Jie Jie saw LeBlanc stepping over, instantly flashed over the wall to jump away at the limit, and still had the Q skill in hand to bump into the river!

And the nervous Fofo's reaction was even faster, especially since LeBlanc's long-range W itself is not difficult to react to; Akali used the E skill she didn't have a chance to use before to dodge, while hanging the Shuriken mark!

"Both of them dodged it!"

"Master Ye still has two stacks of Mejai's on him, if he dies it's a blood loss, be cautious!"

Ye Bo instantly followed with a flash over the wall, just in time to see the pig tail of the Dang Kang divine pig bumping into the river, and also saw the Shuriken dart thrown by Akali.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

LeBlanc turned her head, lightly shook her staff at the figure of Akali flying over, and a crisp sizzling sound arrived a moment later—then instantly and decisively R 【Distortion】 for ultra-long displacement, crossing into the wall!

The edge of the big foot, slightly stuck by half an inch, just happened to step on the big-remnant pig!

But in the air behind, the toe surrounded by the candle dragon's golden flame had already flown over.

"Be careful, he's going back!" Jie Jie shouted at Fofo immediately after dying.

"I can help tank the tower! If he comes back, we can kill him!" Meiko also seemed to notice something.

At this time, LeBlanc's key output skills, both Ws, had already been given to the pig; no matter how you look at it, she was already a LeBlanc with "no damage."

The only operation she could do was perhaps W back to the starting point under the tower.

Obviously, both EDG members thought of that impressive scene that happened beside them at last year's S-tournament.

But, this scene is completely different from the situation of killing Faker back then.

LeBlanc hasn't triggered her clone yet, her vision is completely exposed, and there is still EDG's bot lane duo under the tower who can guard the corpse, or at worst, help tank the tower.

LeBlanc can't even think about completing a counter-kill by bringing Akali back under the tower!

Fofo looked at LeBlanc waiting for him under the wall, and had already guessed the operation in Ye Bo's mind—wait for Akali's E2 feet to touch the ground, and LeBlanc will W back under the tower alone; this way, she won't bring Akali back under the tower, and she can also separate the battlefield to save her life.

Unfortunately.

There have never been many people who could truly guess Ye Bo's train of thought.

Even former teammates.

LeBlanc shook her staff again at Akali who was flying over the three walls, and before any sound came back, her figure had already disappeared from the spot.

It wasn't until half a moment later that there seemed to be a faint sizzling sound in the air.

"She's back!"

"Help Akali tank the tower!"

LeBlanc flashed back under the tower, pulling Akali's figure to turn in the air at the same time.

The bot lane duo, who originally wanted to try to kill Nautilus, stopped directly, turned around to attack LeBlanc, and rescued Akali.

Even if the final result of paying such a price is only 1 for 1, but the three of them threatening the other two, they must not dare to guard the tower anymore; Caitlyn emptying the tower can at least counter-eat at least two platings, and the economic exchange is not a loss at all!

But... LeBlanc was shot twice on the spot, and then shook her staff for the third time, aiming at the Akali following in the air.

And then.

Disappeared again!

"I'm going, she's flying!!!"

The commentary desk, accompanied by the director's camera locking onto the somewhat twitching perspective, kept letting out bursts of exclamation.

"Where is LeBlanc!"

Akali's figure in the air changed lanes for the third time.

This time it was flying towards the middle of the grass.

And everyone only noticed the Akali in the air at this time—where is the health bar!?

"Why is Akali's health so low!?"

"Where did the damage come from!!!"

LeBlanc, waiting on the spot, seemed to be mocking at the landing point, throwing a chain at the direction in the air, then following up with a Sigil of Malice, and then shaking her staff for the fourth time.

At the same time, the fourth auto-attack with an electric arc, and the fourth "sizzle" sound came.

Electric light also lit up on Akali's body for the fourth time.

And 3 seconds ago, she and LeBlanc were both at half health, but at this time, she had already bottomed out!

On the contrary, LeBlanc's health bar inexplicably increased by a section.

The two people under the tower next to them attracted aggro because they wanted to help Akali who would take tower damage from E2, so at this time they had to pull out of the tower first and couldn't come to rescue!

"Wow wow wow wow wow!" Wawa hugged his head and made a wow sound: "What kind of operation is this!!!"

Miller leaned forward on the table and narrowed his eyes to describe the battle situation: "Akali has fallen! And EDG still wants to use summoner spells to forcibly trade Nautilus... but because the overheated defensive tower is outputting crazily, they can't pursue anymore and didn't succeed!"

"Isn't the result 1 for 2!? EDG lost out! Mainly because this wave was three against four!"

"In the previous shot, Akali clearly had half health, why did she suddenly have no health?"

The director quickly gave a replay, and directly skipped the first half of the bot lane operation engagement, which was actually equally exciting.

Directly coming to the last wave of LeBlanc's strange curtain.

Everyone saw LeBlanc's full-process movements from an overhead perspective again.

Even if you watch it again, it's dazzling, and even the screen can't completely capture it; four energized missiles dance and chase in the air, and Akali's health bar falls with a delay like a hallucination.

It's as if you are truly trapped in a mirror and water moon!

"Accumulated Electricity and Shadow, Thousand Illusions Maze"!

Of course, the operation is actually not difficult.

It's nothing more than W-D-AR-AW-AR-EQ-A.

If you must say what the difficulty of the operation is, it is the "Delayed Energization" mechanism that fits LeBlanc perfectly—that is, the auto-attack is launched first, the displacement happens, and then the stacks are filled in the air without wasting stacks.

If you don't use this mechanism, but auto-attack first and then displace, the energization stacks will definitely have wasted parts, and may even directly lose 1-2 energizations.

This is the core trick of "AD LeBlanc."

And Ye Bo undoubtedly brought this mechanism to the extreme this wave!

Afterwards, he jumped back and forth between the three walls, cleverly using the ultra-long-distance flashing displacement of the three walls to "instantly stack" energization; every time he changed bodies, he could instantly fill the energization.

Many players who are not sensitive to numbers tend to underestimate the damage of this 700-gold 【Kircheis Shard】.
