Chapter 56: Triangular Kill

"Holy crap, Ye Wen!" Sun Yalong raised both hands, mimicking a Frenchman: "What did this Yone just do!"

"Three crowd control effects canceled in one team fight! Good heavens, he can even cancel Poppy's! And he just powered right through Galio and Gnar's ultimates!" Xika also let out a howl: "That was actually kind of cool!"

The team fight was a clean sweep; only Poppy saw the situation was dire and escaped in time, avoiding a total team wipe.

V5’s meticulously designed setup, achieved through early positioning, created a perfect pincer kill.

Yet, the most crucial Poppy ultimate failed to have any effect!

Q3 canceled Poppy's hammer, R canceled Galio's stone fist and Gnar's beast paw, and the final E2 even canceled Leona's stun.

The true essence of Yone—is "Crowd Control Cancellation"!

This champion has been lukewarm since his debut in 2021, but as time passes and he is further developed, more and more people will inevitably recognize and discover this champion's extremely high skill ceiling!

Yone's Q3, E2, and R—all three skills are "cast-time skills that also possess strong initiation properties."

As long as they are used properly, one can do just like this—cancel three crowd control effects in one team fight and produce a miraculous result!

The director provided a replay, specifically adjusting the camera angle.

It showed the 3D close-up of Yone suddenly flashing, standing with blade drawn before his teammates, facing the shockwave alone!

In the frozen frame, the Unforgotten, with his cold, blood-red mask, charged out wielding both his mortal blade and the Azakana blade, the sense of intimidation maxed out.

"Damn, this reaction! This angle!" Xika couldn't hide his admiration: "Ye Wen is a bit too exaggerated, isn't he!"

"The rookies these days are truly terrifying. When he played against Big B in the first match... I even thought Big B was letting him win!" Sun Yalong rubbed his thinning hair and sighed with a click of his tongue.

The "troll" duo couldn't help but exclaim, but one person seemed to have been muted.

[The livestream room that respects Doinb the most on the entire internet!]

[Karsa's expression was almost scared into a snake-face, how could it be so sharp?]

[This champion is truly cool, just that sense of elegance, it feels so damn much like a swordsman and an assassin combined into one!]

[The God of Ancient Greece in charge of Crowd Control Cancellation!]

[Why does Song the Saint seem like he isn't trying today~ Could it be that the champion appearing today is {BYD·Song}?]

[It's all that damn draft, giving us people who can carry these useless champions every day! Even if you gave me God Rookie a Zed, this game would be ten times easier to play! Why insist on picking a Galio just to get beaten up!]

To be honest, Song Yijin had no way to deal with this in the early game.

The "scoundrel" Galio in ranked can take Predator and just run, because the frequency of fights in ranked is high, making it easy to find opportunities.

But in a tournament, every timing needs to be seized with caution, and the price of failure for every wave is not small.

Galio is actually good at fighting AP champions; perhaps the designers are paying homage to the lore, but in any case, he naturally doesn't have the advantage when facing AD champions.

This is not the first time Ye Bo has demonstrated Yone's ability to cancel crowd control.

But this match is undoubtedly the most vivid and thorough display!

After EDG won the Rift Herald team fight, they split into two groups, heading to the mid and top lanes to frantically scavenge minion waves and turret plating gold!

After all, Yone is not Akshan; he doesn't need to be in such a rush to push down the mid lane, preferring a slow push to maximize gains.

And after returning to base again, with a Mythic item in hand, Yone is clearly already able to do as he pleases during the laning phase.

It wasn't until the 11th minute that EDG unhurriedly dropped the expiring Rift Herald, crashing it into the mid turret to claim the First Turret reward.

Afterward, they entered the lane-swapping phase, with the bottom and mid lanes switching.

But the core mid-jungle duo of this V5 team are both experienced veterans.

Coupled with the fact that the entire team is highly resilient, they are not so easily crushed.

Rookie had just escaped the painful laning phase; in the side-lane phase, he was effectively liberated and quickly began looking for tempo.

Yone is essentially a "hyper-carry" type, very much in need of farming gold to support his item build.

And Galio is born to provide support!

Galio dove into the mid lane, found the right moment, and activated Predator!

At the same time, Poppy walked out from the other side to pincer, and Leona used her ultimate to slow and lock them down!

Relying on the Predator speed boost, Rookie displayed exquisite and enchanting movement, first dodging Tongue Lash, then successively dodging the incoming Black Mist.

He closed the distance and initiated with {Everfrost} to sweep the ground!

Tahm Kench was rooted, and Senna, being further back, was slowed.

But Galio ignored everything else, as if his target was clear, stepping forward and punching directly at Senna.

Meiko, in his eagerness to protect, swallowed Viper into his mouth with one big gulp!

{Root effects only prevent the target from using mobility skills, but non-mobility skills can still be used.}

But Meiko, you fell into Song Yijin's trap.

Senna was actually just a few steps away from running back under the turret; Tahm Kench eating her actually "carried" Senna slightly back.

And more importantly, only after waiting for Tahm Kench to open his mouth did Galio start spreading his wings to channel.

Galio's W can only be channeled for 3 seconds.

But Tahm Kench's ultimate can also only hold someone for a maximum of 3 seconds.

Leona pointed to follow up with control, keeping Tahm Kench in place—effectively controlling two people at once!

Galio, wings spread outside, was watching like a tiger, and even if Senna voluntarily crawled out of the belly, she would still be hit by the crowd control.

"Holy crap! Rookie's movement! Rookie's details!" The previously silent Kid suddenly spoke up, instantly looking radiant.

"Rookie stood up when V5 needed him most! This is our desperate Song Yijin, always selfless! Always giving his all!"

If the two people next to him said this, the audience would 100% think they were trolling again, definitely being sarcastic.

But Kid was absolutely sincere!

"He even wants to give the kill to the ADC, he is truly too team-oriented..."

"Oh, Rookie TP'd to the top lane again! He's going to protect Gnar from being dove!"

At the same time, the EDG top-jungle duo launched a counter-siege in the top lane.

Before the mid-lane kill was even finished, Galio chose to leave the battlefield for his teammates to clean up, decisively retreating after dealing his damage and using TP to save the top lane.

It wasn't 14 minutes yet, so TP could still only be used on their own defensive turrets.

Therefore, Yone, who was split-pushing in the bottom lane, could not follow with TP.

In fact, this is also why the top lane, as the most "remote mountain area," often "goes invisible" in the early game this patch.

In the past, every few minutes there would be four or five TPs to the bottom lane; if the top laner got a lead, they could immediately cash in on the results.

But with the current TP changes, apart from Rift Herald fights and assisting with jungle invasions, at most it's just protecting against tower dives.

The early-game agency of top laners has significantly declined.

"What a pity, still didn't save Gnar, but one TP for two Flashes, worth it!" Kid said with eyes full of regret.

"But Flandre played the laning phase quite well this game, don't know when he forced out the top lane's Flash again, otherwise Gnar wouldn't have died this time!"

Xika pointed out the key in a strange tone: "Don't get happy too early, Ye Wen is farming happily in the bottom lane with no one bothering him, he's almost pushed to the second turret!"

"This Yone is already fat, I don't dare to imagine how terrifying he'll be later~"

This wave was essentially a resource trade for V5.

Anyway, Galio split-pushing is just a pure punching bag, and he has no chance of keeping up with Yone's growth, so they might as well take the risk to trade.

It did actually achieve something, raising the growth of Aphelios, who was already the best-developed, up another level.

Meiko's voice sounded a bit self-reproachful: "Sorry, my bad, I feel like I ate her too early, if I waited for him to use W before eating, she might not have died."

"It's fine, we got the top lane, they are pushing the mid turret, Master Ye can continue pushing!" Jiejie comforted him.

"Yeah, let's just be a little careful and not give them any chances, we definitely have the advantage in growth!" Ye Bo also comforted them.

The EDG team composition system has already taken shape, and the gold difference has actually begun to gradually widen.

Don't look at this wave as if V5 launched a counter-attack.

But in reality, if you add in Yone solo-pushing the bottom outer turret plus farming a jungle quadrant, the total gold is actually still a small profit!

The V5 side can only rely on their strong team composition and are not very afraid of Yone.

A Poppy who can block dashes.

A Galio full of crowd control, a Leona who is also full of crowd control, plus a Mega Gnar.

These four people connected together.

They are literally four city walls!

If Yone wants to hit the fattest Aphelios, he must first leap over the enclosure of these city walls.

At the 16-minute third dragon fight, V5 chose to avoid the fight, delaying the growth time for Aphelios.

"Wow, wow, wow, good heavens, the mid-lane CS gap is almost approaching sixty minions..." Wawa secretly looked at his partner.

Miller thought about it seriously after hearing this: "Looking at the team compositions this game, V5 is clearly a four-protect-one centered on Aphelios; for EDG, Senna definitely doesn't count as a hyper-carry, and Kennen seems to only count as a one-shot deal."

"Looking at it this way, the heavy responsibility of EDG's hyper-carry this game is placed on Yone!"

Wawa actually wanted to say that there was a surprising gap between the two mid laners.

But hearing his partner be so serious, he could only follow up seriously: "Ah yes, that's right, player Ye's performance this game is undoubtedly extremely brilliant, and EDG currently holds a 4k gold advantage!"

"Speaking of which, Yone is rarely played in our LPL this patch, and player Ye can be considered the representative of this champion at the moment..."

Although since Ye Bo's debut, there has always been the urban legend of the "Three Axes."

But in reality, the only one he has pulled out in the LPL arena so far is Yone, and the one that has left the deepest impression on the public has also become Yone.

Of course, this is indeed the type of champion in Ye Bo's current pool that, besides assassins and roaming champions, is most inclined toward "hyper-carry."

21 minutes.

And because Gnar, Poppy, Galio, and even Aphelios in the V5 lineup are very strong in the dragon pit terrain, forcing Baron carries a certain risk.

Ye Bo made a "tactical adjustment" on the spot, advocating a 4-1 split push.

In this way, it can best fully utilize the champion characteristics of Yone, who is already considered "invincible in a side lane."

"EDG is playing very smartly; they aren't forcing a head-on collision at the walls, they've started operating. Didn't they used to just wait for the mid-laner to farm up and then force 5v5 teamfights?"

Sun Yalong never misses a chance to stir up trouble.

However, the cunning Xika refuses to take the bait, lest he end up on the "Weibo Wanted List" like last week: "This choice is truly wise, Yone is a god in side-lanes right now! Whether it's Gnar or Galio, if they dare to act cocky, he'll take them out in a heartbeat!"

"Uh, actually, didn't EDG play like this before? It's just that Thief Saint is a bit more selfish, while Ye Bo is definitely more team-oriented; I notice he rarely farms his teammates' jungle."

In the end, only the pure General Sturgeon takes the bait with a single bite.

[Still hinting! Still hinting!]

[Streamer, I suspect you've been bought by Ye Bo's captain, you guys were the ones who leaked the Scout contract incident too! Secretly helping Ye Bo with office politics, right!]

[Don't smear him, the streamer's stance is Schrödinger's Pig; wait until the school mother actually attacks, these three will definitely become collaborators!]

[Coming from the Scout super-topic, which one is called Kid?]

[The one who looks like a pig's head is Xika, the one who looks like a pig is Kid, Sun Ye should be recognizable at a glance.]

[Stealing memes, even the chat is stealing memes!]

Just as Sun Yalong was preparing to continue teasing General Sturgeon, the situation, which had been operating smoothly, suddenly took a turn.

"What does V5 want to do, vocal! Are they actually going to make a move on Ye Bo!"

"Wait, this ward placement... it's Rookie!"

"V5 actually seems to have a chance, Yone is worth a thousand gold!"

At the moment of the 4-1 push, V5 relied on the wall to hold their ground in the positional battle.

But V5, or more accurately, Song Yijin, had detected a flaw earlier.

Just like his successful flank earlier, he had discovered a flaw in the bottom lane's vision.

Generally speaking, when side-laning, the support helps clear jungle vision to prevent being flanked or ganked while overextending.

Meiko certainly did his part.

But because he was playing Tahm Kench as an ADC this game, he didn't have a Sightstone, and he couldn't stay away from the ADC for long periods to set up vision like a normal support.

And Viper, who was operating Senna, while a master of output, was an ADC player after all; he lacked that awareness and focused more on farming.

So, during the previous wave of clearing, Rookie deliberately placed a ward in the strange corner between the jungle and the river, and that move became the foreshadowing.

This was a display of Song Yijin's tournament experience.

At this moment, the Mega Gnar with full rage used Teleport to flank.

And Galio, Poppy, and Aphelios all rushed over together!

V5's intent was very clear: they wanted to kill Yone and help Aphelios secure this 1000-gold bounty!

If this bounty were secured, Aphelios would rapidly approach his three-item Infinity Edge spike; by then, even with Tahm Kench and Sejuani as two big meat shields, EDG wouldn't be able to withstand the strongest output hero of the current patch!

With four bodyguards, Aphelios would become a matchlock musket atop the city wall!

"They just gave up their second-tier tower like that..."

The seasoned Flandre, seeing only a Leona wandering in front of the high-ground gate while giving up the mid second-tier tower, keenly sensed something amiss.

"Wait, don't tell me they went to catch Ye Bo!" Meiko quickly realized this possibility.

Of course, Ye Bo had already seen it himself.

The bottom second-tier tower was in jeopardy; he had been preparing to take the high bounty from the tower, return home to finish a key item, and then consider forcing a resource teamfight.

But before he could push the minion wave, he had already seen the three people walking out from the front of the tower.

A wolf head lit up above his head.

Looking behind him... Mega Gnar had already stepped out!

"Holy crap, four of them!" Ye Bo was also startled.

But the more intense the situation, the more he felt a surge of heat rising to the back of his head, accompanied by a slight twitching of his face, as if his thoughts were becoming clearer in this moment.

"You guys push mid, break the high ground!"

There was no time to explain; he first commanded his teammates to stop them from coming to support.

It was obvious that they didn't have a hero like Galio, so coming from mid wouldn't be fast enough, and Kennen's Teleport might just lead to a double death.

Trading for at least one high-ground lane was the wisest choice to ensure they didn't lose out.

Afterward, Ye Bo turned his attention to the predicament before him.

Galio and Poppy had learned from their mistakes; this time they were very clear and didn't want to give him any chance to outplay them.

The two of them split to either side, standing in front of Aphelios to maintain their formation, truly protecting Aphelios like two shields.

If Yone were to use his ultimate directly, it was obvious that professional players would have the reaction time to dodge it.

And no matter what maneuver Yone used—Q-Flash, Flash-Q, or Flash-E—it would be blocked by Poppy's positioning right next to Aphelios, triggering {Grounding}!

This was completely different from the situation in the level-three jungle skirmish.

Back then, Yone only had Q and E, and even if he was {Grounded}, it had no impact.

But this time, if Yone were blocked and hit by {Grounding}...

Whether it was Q, E, Flash, or his ultimate—none of them could be activated due to the {Grounding} restriction!

That would be equivalent to charging into the faces of three people to get beaten up; with a pile of crowd control on him, Aphelios could kill him in a few shots.

So, no matter what, he could not get hit by the {Grounding}.

Having figured this out, a flash of lightning crossed Ye Bo's mind.

"Desperate Yone! It's over!"

"Rookie is going to lead the comeback!" Kid roared at the top of his lungs.

"Yone can only pull back into the brush to stall for time, but he's already surrounded by four people. I ask you, how are you going to struggle now? One CC and you're dead..."

The roaring stopped abruptly.

Yone gathered his wind and hid in the brush in front of the second-tier tower, while the three pursuers immediately and alertly maintained their formation.

Galio stepped forward to check the brush, and the three of them even meticulously kept their spacing.

Poppy was extremely diligent, guarding the ADC with her life!

Even if Yone's ultimate was cast without vision, there would still be a warning animation!

Therefore, they were convinced that as long as Poppy used [Steadfast Presence] to become a mountain of flesh in front of the ADC, it would be absolutely impossible for Yone to cross this defensive line!

But just as the vision lit up—

The whirlwind blade had already been unleashed!

Poppy activated her W almost simultaneously at point-blank range, without a single mistake.

And Aphelios was staring at the red light representing the ultimate, which didn't appear; he only saw that the opponent was about to hit the {Grounding}...

But, Yone's figure only shifted in the instant he dashed out.

Just as he was about to collide head-on with Steadfast Presence.

Yone used a "Stationary Wind-Flash" combined with a lateral change of direction, making it look visually as if he had "shifted" in place!

[Steadfast Presence] could indeed block the displacement of Yone's Q...

But, it could not block the "Whirlwind"!

If you can't go through the front door, take the winding path!

The whirlwind body circling Yone knocked Galio into the air, and the whirlwind unleashed by the stationary wind-flash knocked up Poppy, as well as the Aphelios standing right next to her!

The original position and the current position.

Seemed to form a triangle!

The moment he landed, he unleashed the whirlwind backward and immediately followed up with a retreating E.

Now, raising his blade, he aimed in a straight line toward the sword's edge and unleashed the [Fate Sealed] at the intersection of the triangle!

Because the stationary Wind-Q saved displacement time, by the time the Wind-Q whirlwind knocked them up, Yone had already raised both blades.

And at this moment, those three people's heads... were all still in the {Knock-up} state!

The sword energy locked onto Aphelios, who was standing at the back; using him as the target, he scooped up Galio, and carried all three of them into the tower.

Upon landing, he stabbed and slashed at Aphelios with four strikes in one second!

"Q-D-Wind-E-R-A-W-Q-A-E"

"Triangle Kill"!

A super-fed Yone, this combo would deal heavy damage even to Poppy, let alone a fragile ADC.

The hilt returned to the scabbard, and the spirit returned to his body.

Aphelios's head immediately hit the ground.

"Kill him! No, you must kill him! Don't save your skills!"

The mid-lane high ground had been pushed, and the ADC had actually fallen instead.

If they couldn't even kill Yone, then this wave for V5 wouldn't just be a matter of losing a little.

But the most important thing was the position the spirit returned to.

That spirit's position was extremely far back!

Why add a reverse "Galeforce"?

Because the body displacement from the Q-Flash needed to be parallel to the enemy, and if Yone wanted to use the "forward-dash E" that the shadow could leave behind, it would exceed the distance and he wouldn't be able to take Galio along with the ultimate.

Therefore, after the Q-Flash landed, he first used the reverse Galeforce to pull back, then used the forward-dash E to align with Galio again, and only then synchronized the triangular ultimate!

What Ye Bo was truly concerned about was this step; what he was thinking of was the retreat!

But don't forget.

There was still a Gnar waiting behind to camp the spirit.

Mega Gnar didn't hesitate to land and unleash his Palm of the Buddha, and Galio jumped directly into the air for Hero's Entrance!

Yone was only hit by the turret once the entire time; with a poorly developed Gnar, there was simply no possibility of a kill, and Song Yi knew the importance of decisiveness at this moment.

Consecutive crowd control effects knocked Yone high into the air.

"Kill him, kill him! Base, base, base! The base is about to be gone!" the ADC fountain commander shouted anxiously.

Yone's gains in the bottom lane gave EDG a sniff of opportunity; the four of them pushed past the high ground and continued to push forward while protecting the minions, and a Leona couldn't even clear the wave.

Poppy had already immediately pressed to recall.

"You chase! I'm TPing back!" Song Yi landed to help unleash a combo, but Galio couldn't do much more and immediately turned to retreat.

Although Yone was built for full damage, his high-level stats from split-pushing were there.

Even if he took the full skill rotations of two people, the damage from Galio and Gnar couldn't achieve a "full-health instant kill"; Gnar needed to continue chasing and auto-attacking a few more times.

Yone was heavily wounded, but after the crowd control ended, he unleashed another Q at Gnar, stacking up his landing wind-Q.

Gnar still had his E skill, but as long as Yone could Q over the wall, he clearly still had a chance to outplay.

This was the reason for using that reverse Gale + forward-lunging E.

But at this moment.

Ye Bo saw Galio turn his head, retreat a few steps, and press TP from far away.

"Brothers! Just push the base, push the base!"

"I can interrupt the TP! I can stop it!"

Yone braced himself against the beast paws of Mega Gnar, walking with bloody steps toward Galio.

He looked determined.

"Damn it! Can someone stop him!?"

"I'm out of skills!"

Mega Gnar's W and R had long been used, and now he could only throw a boulder to slow him as much as possible.

Although Rookie was anxious seeing the high-ground turret about to be attacked, Galio had actually walked far enough away.

But Yone's wind-Q had a full 950-yard range.

And, it could not be blocked by a physical body!

Before the beast paw could slam down and end Yone's life.

Yone had already slashed out his third wind-Q from afar.

The notification sound of him being executed had already played, and the 1000-gold bounty was safely secured.

But the extreme tail end of the whirlwind still knocked Galio into the air!

The TP beam was indeed broken!

Gnar had TPed to flank, Aphelios was in the fountain meeting with his sister, and Poppy had just barely returned to the fountain to replenish her status.

"Be careful not to get knocked up by Poppy! These two can only B back! They're very slow!"

"There's time, there's time! Interrupt Poppy, Jiejie!"

Ye Bo, with his screen grayed out, didn't even look at his own side; he immediately switched his screen to the fountain nexus to command without a moment's delay.

Poppy walked out, spinning her giant hammer.

Sejuani, having received the command, had a clear plan; she Q-flashed and R-ed to the front, stunning Poppy with the Frost Prison, interrupting her charging ultimate, and drawing turret aggro.

Tahm Kench burrowed to follow up with control and closed in, Kennen used his Rocketbelt to dash forward and start his lightning, while Senna fired her ultimate and focused solely on hitting the turret.

"Ignore those two and just destroy the base!!"

The two big tanks withstood the nexus turrets, letting Kennen's AOE lightning stun them, ignoring the two struggling in vain.

A sudden-death situation.

Everyone attacked the crystal frantically, and at the moment the opposing two recalled, they forcibly blew up the V5 nexus base!
