Chapter 43

During the loading phase, after receiving information from the director, the commentary desk was also synchronizing information.

"Need to synchronize with everyone: although Akshan is not being picked for the first time in the LPL."

"But since he went online, this is his first pick in the mid lane position!"

"Yes, Akshan has appeared in the LPL three times this year, but all of them were top lane Akshan, and one of them was even picked by TheShy..."

The director provided data at the right time to help recall.

In the Spring Split, they were picked by Bin (now BLG), Rich (V5), and TheShy (WBG), all top laners.

And interestingly, the performance of the first two was quite good, even reaching a "lane-crushing" level, and in the second game, Rich was laning against TheShy.

Only the third game by TheShy contributed a 0-7-0 "flawless death" performance...

However, according to TheShy's stream, he really likes this hero and feels he's more fun than Kalista!

He said he wanted to practice more and play him again later~

And this game was indeed the first competitive record for mid lane Akshan.

"What do you say, Master Ye? Any strange little designs for this game?" Barrier asked impatiently.

He was now addicted to those little designs of Ye Bo's because they were really... satisfying. Even he, as a teammate, was looking forward to seeing them.

If a jungler could often catch such little designs, they could directly control the rhythm from the start of the game. It would simply be a dream start every day!

"We mainly have to be careful of the opponent at level one this game; they are much stronger than us at level one."

Ye Bo, after all, had only gained the experience temporarily.

Although the "Old Deng Bo" from '25 seemed to have spent a long time practicing, possessing many techniques and knowledge that made him gasp in admiration.

But things like "design" couldn't just be conjured up on the spot just by knowing a few techniques.

Real design required constant grinding and experimentation between team members, controlling precise time nodes and timing coordination.

More importantly, it had to be tailored to the "habitual characteristics" of each opponent faced.

But what everyone didn't know was.

They didn't have it, but WBG in this game did!

"Hey, WBG's positioning has a problem!" Sun Yalong shouted in his duck-like voice.

"It's over! Sister and Husband are about to be handled! WBG has done their research!"

WBG's coaching staff wasn't completely useless.

Houye and Wild King, as two experienced former professional players, although their draft was indeed lacking in inspiration and could even be called extremely formulaic.

But they also had their own strengths!

They were very good at studying the small habits of professional players.

For example, EDG's bot lane: Meiko and Viper were famous for their strong laning ability, especially after picking soft supports, they could often exert extreme laning pressure.

There wasn't any in the last game, only because they had to cooperate with Zoe's acting, and the support had shown their face early.

But this game was different.

God's eye view.

WBG's five members were moving in unison, entering the bottom river from their own blue buff entrance — aiming directly at the lane bush in the bottom lane!

WBG's coaching staff discovered that when EDG's bot lane picked soft supports like Lulu, Lux, or Nami that clearly intended to exert laning pressure, they liked to clear the lane bush at level one.

As long as they could hold the lane bush, the hooks of early-game hard supports would lose their only deterrent, and the poke ability of double ranged heroes and soft supports could be perfectly unleashed.

Of course, this was actually a gamble.

If they guessed wrong and the opponent didn't do that this game, then the five of them arriving at this position would return empty-handed, all level-one positioning points would be lost, and early-game vision information would be a blank slate!

It was just a pity that WBG had indeed guessed right this game.

Because, just after placing a defensive ward in the tri-bush, EDG's bot lane duo had already arrived side-by-side at the bottom lane bush, and had even stepped into the first bush at this moment.

And when they saw the five burly men suddenly walking out of the river entrance.

They instantly understood what was going on.

"Holy crap, five of them!"

"Viper, you go, I'll see if I can hold them..."

But since WBG had this preparation, it was impossible to let them go easily.

Twisted Fate had already drawn a yellow card in his hand and was circling around the tri-bush wall where there was vision with Nautilus. It was impossible for Aphelios to ignore these two and walk away.

"You go, you go!"

"I can't go, they're both pinning me down!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Can you stall for a bit!"

"I have TP, should I T? Should I T?"

The voice chat was suddenly a bit noisy.

This was why a team must have a clear-headed main commander, because in times like this, regardless of right or wrong, there must never be several different opinions.

One wanted to run, one wanted to fight, one wanted to trade—then everything was finished!

Ye Bo didn't speak at first because he was quickly scanning the battlefield, analyzing and judging rapidly in his brain.

And he quickly discovered something he could utilize.

"Listen to me! Listen to me! Listen to me!"

"Bot lane, go into the bush first! Stall out the yellow card, then circle the pillar by the bush wall! It won't be easy for these guys to focus fire immediately! Once the yellow card is stalled, the ADC should just sell the support, flash, and run to the tower! This way, only one should die! The support doesn't have to use skills!"

"Barrier, learn E!"

Ye Bo relied on his super-high volume to seize attention.

Having just exchanged command authority in the lounge, everyone heard the voice and immediately began to execute.

The card Twisted Fate drew could be held in his hand for 6 seconds, which logically speaking was absolutely enough.

Viper didn't bring Cleanse and didn't know exactly which bush the two were camping in, so if Twisted Fate waited until they met to draw, it really wouldn't work!

If he couldn't throw a yellow card immediately upon meeting, it was very likely the opponent would use the DF combo to run away in the first bush!

Twisted Fate and Nautilus walked into the first bush, while the other three walked into the second bush.

But, no one.

"In the pit!"

ON reacted quickly and immediately threw a ward into the pit.

But what he saw... were two people huddled together in the corner of the wall, hugging each other for warmth.

"?"

What did the two of them mean?

Anivia didn't care about that much, directly throwing out her Q skill to freeze the two. Jarvan IV planted his flag, and Miss Fortune also started shooting.

While Nautilus and Twisted Fate on the other side were circling from the first bush, arriving late.

Nautilus was detailed enough to hold his Q, but Twisted Fate walked up directly, wanting to throw a yellow card...

But what was thrown out was just an ordinary poker card!

"Run!"

Lulu put an E-skill shield on Aphelios, and Aphelios just bit the bullet and walked towards the faces of the two people on the left.

Nautilus tapped him at point-blank range, using his passive to root him for 0.75 seconds, but it seemed unable to stop Aphelios's footsteps.

Aphelios waited for the root to end and directly flashed through!

He knew this flash would definitely be pulled back by Nautilus's Q, but that didn't matter—what mattered was to make the three people behind unable to follow up with damage!

WBG actually only had three controls at level one: Anivia, Twisted Fate, and Nautilus.

Anivia used hers first, and Twisted Fate didn't throw his out.

Now, relying on Nautilus alone, it was impossible to forcibly hold him!

"Forget it, let's just kill the support. The ADC's summoner spells are also gone."

"No! Both of them can be killed!"

ON clearly had a different idea from his teammates, directly hooking without hesitation, hitting Aphelios and pulling him back slightly.

Aphelios immediately pressed {Heal}, speed up + health recovery, and just ran hard.

WBG's command at this moment showed obvious lack of unity.

Tang Huanfeng and Angel listened to ON's command and wanted to follow up with damage, but TheShy and SofM felt that killing just one Lulu was enough profit.

This led to the already insufficient damage being even more dispersed at the first moment.

Aphelios carried the damage all the way, and with the three people only able to auto-attack, the kill speed was obviously very slow.

"Can kill! Really can kill!"

ON was a bit carried away, flashing to chase and auto-attack, then hanging Ignite on him, and then standing outside the tower to tank it.

Seeing the health reach the threshold, Tang Huanfeng couldn't care about that much and flashed to AQ, but the damage seemed to be a little short!

Durability!

Having reached this point, Twisted Fate had no choice but to follow up by drawing a card and flashing to throw it.

"WBG is crazy! Using three flashes to forcibly kill the ADC!" Sun Yalong's voice suddenly took a sharp turn: "But that thing is here!"

"Holy crap! Tarzan!"

Just see Akshan rushing over from the jungle.

At this moment, he was flying out from the right side of the Krugs with a hook shot at an extremely tricky angle!

【Heroic Swing】 dragged Akshan, circling the wall from the jungle, and actually drew a semicircle to fly over a 180-degree corner!

Instantly crossing 1800 yards, he flew to the front of Nautilus who was tanking the tower.

An EA + E-second-stage leap attack A in the air + landing AA, triggering the passive three-ring!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

ON knew he couldn't run, so he turned back to help his teammates auto-attack and leave a passive mark.

And when the double carries retreated, Twisted Fate, who entered the tower last, took an extra hit of tower damage that had been pre-warmed.

But at this time, the awkward part came.

Lulu was still alive, and even had nearly half health!

This was level one; with one Jarvan IV and one Anivia, what could they use to kill Lulu?

"Kill Lulu first! Don't be afraid! Their top laner is definitely not here!" The fallen ON was still commanding.

After hearing this, everyone felt it was the same thing.

Even if the opponent's mid and jungle arrived, it would be at most 3 vs 4, what was there to fear?

The advantage is with us!

It was just that, seeing the opponent seemed to want to continue to move against Lulu.

This time it was Ye Bo's turn to have ideas.

"Support, pull back! Run into the bush!"

"Pillar! Here!"

Lulu immediately flashed into the bush to stall.

And Trundle, who arrived from the river, didn't hesitate at all to flash and plant a pillar, lifting three people from under his feet, and successfully pushing Twisted Fate and Miss Fortune back precisely!

The Frozen Domain slowed their footsteps.

Now, WBG really couldn't run.

Otherwise, the double carries, who were pushed back by the ice pillar and had no flash and were slowed, couldn't run at all.

But the next moment, a hook shot shot from afar and hit the ice pillar —

In the middle of the wide road, he swung!

Akshan's figure rose into the air, using the ice pillar as a 600-yard center radius, drawing a perfect circle O counterclockwise from bottom to top.

The high-speed crossbow bolts sprayed from the muzzle, quickly triggering the three-ring on the nearest Twisted Fate.

"Block him! Must block him!" TheShy commanded urgently; he knew the damage of Akshan's E skill.

But this swing in the middle of the road using the ice pillar drew a very large circle.

Everyone was level one and couldn't get close at all!

Since they had to fight, SofM's Jarvan IV was also rushed by the movement, directly and decisively flashing forward to bump him down.

But Ye Bo landed and didn't stop.

The moment Akshan landed, he flashed to cross and face him, then double-A aimed at Twisted Fate to trigger {Press the Attack}!

Lulu arrived in time to put a refreshed E-skill shield on him, and "Pix" also carried the double-A, firing twice the shooting damage!

"Kill Lulu first, kill Lulu first! Kill her and go!"

If WBG left now, it would default to selling the double carries pushed back by the pillar, which would even be a bloody loss.

They could only fight!

"Akshan's E coordinates with Trundle's highway launch! Then together with Lulu, they killed Twisted Fate first!"

"But the thinking of WBG's four people is also extremely clear. Twisted Fate drew a card and threw it for damage before dying, and cooperated with teammates to kill Lulu first, bringing the situation back to 2 vs 3!"

"In this case, this wave should end here. Trundle and Akshan should be able to leave..."

"Ah, wait a minute!?"

"What is that!!!"

Wang Duoduo, who was commentating with passionate speed, suddenly widened his eyes in subconscious shock.

Just because a strange scene appeared on the screen.

Akshan killed Twisted Fate and reset his E skill, but didn't continue to swing for the second time against the ice pillar that was about to disappear at first. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like he was preparing to retreat.

WBG's three people didn't intend to continue chasing, only preparing to meet Miss Fortune who was stuck by the pillar, and retreat together.

But Akshan, the moment the Trundle pillar disappeared.

He shot a hook shot at his feet again at point-blank range.

The ice pillar disappeared.

The hook shot, however, still hit.

And what was even more bizarre and terrifying was that after the ice pillar disappeared, it was still caught by the hook shot in the "air," but the ice pillar's {collision volume} had disappeared.

This caused Akshan to lose his "obstacle."

Just like that, a figure holding a crossbow began to rise out of thin air!

《In-place rotation》!

Akshan was like holding a Zhuge repeating crossbow, the bolts were like blooming pear blossom needles, concentrated and shot at Miss Fortune's face at extreme speed.
