Chapter 349

The LPL commentary desk was still analyzing the composition with a nervous tone.

"And the Kindred was also burned in the last game, resulting in Sion not being able to match with the most comfortable Kindred-Sion combination."

Wang Duoduo frowned: "Looking at the composition alone, the CN China team is at a disadvantage in all three lanes—top, mid, and bot; in the late game, relying solely on a Jin Kesi that isn't a strong patch hero, it's impossible to withstand the opponent's Desert Emperor + double marksman + Rumble composition!"

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who thought so.

Score, walking back to the KR representative team's backstage, was glowing with radiance; he didn't need to disguise himself to go on stage for BP again, and he wanted to laugh out loud when he saw the opponent's final composition.

Just as Wang Duoduo said—Rumble against Sion, Desert Emperor against Talon, Draven and Caitlyn against Jin Kesi; KR has a visible laning hero advantage in all three lanes!

No matter how you look at it, KR Korea team has a huge advantage in the early, mid, and late game.

But the high-spirited Score suddenly discovered that Beryl had a look of confusion and nervousness, his hands supporting his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Score couldn't help but ask: "Geon-hee, what's with that expression?"

"Could it be that this CN composition has some secret... You wouldn't be hiding something from us, would you?"

After saying this, everyone turned to look at the other person.

And Beryl just shook his head: "I don't know."

Score showed an intriguing expression, but didn't say anything more, after all, the matter was settled.

But Beryl really didn't know.

And even from Beryl's perspective, he couldn't see anything special about the CN team's composition—this was what he found most strange.

What exactly is he trying to do?

Entering the game.

The opening positions of both sides also seemed to fully meet expectations.

The "Level 1 Design" of Sion-Kindred, which the CN team's top-mid-jungle is most proficient in, is clearly the top priority for the KR team's defensive training; it's impossible to give any flaws in the opening position.

The Sion system doesn't rely on Kindred anyway, not to mention Jin Kesi is also very strong at level 1, and the strategy of swapping half-jungle areas at the start is still effective.

"The KR representative team giving up the bot jungle at level 1 is a very wise decision!" The Roaring Emperor praised his own team's handling highly.

"With advantages in all three lanes, the CN representative team's offensive half-jungle strategy cannot play any role at all; clearly, they were prepared!"

Kanavi's Blind Monk had a clear train of thought, directly wanting the opponent's blue buff.

Relying on the crushing laning advantage of their own bot lane double marksmen, the Blind Monk could well invade the opponent's bot jungle aggressively at level 3, directly forcibly taking back the offensive half-jungle—at that time, they could even make the opponent fall into a passive situation!

Because the mid and top lanes also have difficulty having lane priority in the early game, Nocturne doesn't have the ability to counter-invade the Blind Monk's red jungle!

This response looks seamless.

From the god's-eye view, watching the five members of the CN team search the blue jungle, they couldn't find any traces.

"... What is this for?"

It wasn't until the minion waves approached that the audience finally discovered the anomaly.

And the KR representative team was still unaware; after confirming that the level 1 team fight time had passed smoothly, the defensive focus was placed on helping the top lane set up vision and watch the players, to guard against "lane swap" tactics.

Clearly, they were prepared for the "Level 1 Design" tactic used against TheShy on the Summer Finals stage, and had also thought that the opponent might copy it and use it against Zeus.

KR directly threw out a precious ward, inserting it into the necessary gap behind the opponent's first tower, guarding against the movements of the opponent's bot lane.

It is worth mentioning that... when Beryl was talking about defending against this tactic at the time, he always talked about "Level 1 Design" and never mentioned the word "lane swap."

But at this moment.

Beryl in the backstage saw the scene on the field, and his heart was already filled with shock.

He seemed to know what the opponent wanted to do.

"Hyeok-gyu hyung, let's push directly!" Ruler, who had arrived in the lane, commanded Deft, carrying his single axe and wanting to press forward.

"As long as we press them until they have no health, this Nocturne can't gank us in the early game; if he comes, we kill him!"

Ruler certainly knew that Nocturne was jungling in their own blue jungle, and standing too far forward could risk a level 2 gank.

But precisely because of this, they had to play even more aggressively!

The logic is simple.

Jin Kesi and Leona don't have the qualifications to even look at Draven + Caitlyn at level 1.

If they last-hit, they will be beaten up; if they don't eat experience, they will be frozen and lose levels; either way, it's enough to make Nocturne not have the guts to come for a level 2 gank.

But just as the two were pushing forward, they suddenly discovered that the opponent's bot lane duo didn't flinch at all and directly turned around to fight!

Ruler was a bit confused, but naturally, there was no reason to retreat.

But the next moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to suddenly glimpse something appearing on the mini-map next to him.

And when he squinted to look again... it instantly made his glasses frames almost pop off!

"What is this!?"

"Sion?"

The bot lane duo discovered at the same time that there was a Sion behind them—this guy was currently physically tanking the defensive tower, walking out from behind their own first tower!

Even the experienced bot lane duo couldn't help but have their brains crash for a moment, extremely confused by the unheard-of scene before them.

What the hell!?

And just as they saw that Sion forcibly tanking the tower damage, carrying the last laser bullet out of the tower, his health had been cleared!

But because of the clash of the first minion wave, Draven and Caitlyn were still holding the idea of killing the opponent at level 1, and the two were standing quite far forward; even if they flashed, they couldn't auto-attack for this kill.

Leona stabbed out with E 【Zenith Blade】, and for the sake of safety, even flashed at close range.

After the Sun-blessed finger successfully hit the Draven behind, the immobilization control instantly triggered the AOE glacial zone of {Glacial Augment}, slowing both of them down.

The Sion who had fallen behind had returned to the light as a zombie, carrying fists as big as rice cookers and running toward the two.

Sion's {Zombie State} can last for 8 seconds in a stationary state.

But if there is a target that can be auto-attacked, relying on 100% life steal and extremely high attack speed, it can even last for more than ten seconds!

More importantly, the KR bot lane duo had no control or displacement ability at level 1, even if they could delay Sion for half a second.

This can also be considered the biggest disadvantage of a double marksman bot lane.

Ruler still wanted to try to resist.

But Sion, who started with a Doran's Blade, had an attack power as high as 90 points, and every auto-attack in zombie form also carried {10% maximum health} damage.

Two slaps from the zombie to the face instantly made Draven's eyes clear, and he hurriedly flashed to pull back!

But the 【Death Impulse】 of the zombie skill instantly made Sion's movement speed 565 yards, sprinting to catch up and giving Draven two more slaps.

Only then did he turn to pursue Caitlyn, and also forced Caitlyn's flash!

"Axi... Xiba!!!" Ruler was so messed up that he even stuttered a bit.

"Are they crazy!?"

Sion was feeding the tower; at this time, whether he TP'd back to the top lane or walked back to the top lane, at most he would lose some experience.

But the KR bot lane had been forced to use two flashes, plus both were left with very low health; no matter what, they definitely had to return to base!

Even if you just count the experience points, it was Sion alone trading for the equivalent experience loss of two people on the opponent's side.

For the strategic status of both sides, this is clearly an absolute blood profit!

And, Ruler and Deft soon realized something.

"Xu Jin-hyeok, help!"

Just as Ruler finished speaking, Nocturne, who had reached level 2 and had the blue buff, walked out from behind, blocking the retreat.

Zombie Sion successfully helped clear two back-row minions before he died.

And Jin Kesi switched to rocket launcher form, and a few AOE bombardments quickly pushed the minion wave in.

"It's broken!!!" The Roaring Emperor's shout was hoarse.

"Blind Monk is far away and can't possibly come over! And Rumble is even less likely to TP down at this time, otherwise, Sion TPing to the top lane would be even more profitable, and Rumble would have to collapse along with him!"

"This seemingly bizarre design by the CN team actually produced a miraculous effect that was completely unpredictable!"

"And that is!?"

The KR group also knew that the call for help from the bot lane was purely futile.

Blind Monk, in order to create a jungle advantage, deliberately chose to start in the opponent's top blue jungle; even if he stopped immediately and flew over, it would definitely be too late.

Not to mention Rumble; anyone with a slightly clear head knows that coming down is 100% pure loss.
