Chapter 89: Zhang Liang's plan and the wall-crossing ladder

~23 min read 4,496 words

Summoner's Rift descended, and both sides were ready to go.

Ye Bo only felt his hands itching and eager to fight, while receiving and reading the knowledge that appeared in his brain, while quickly buying equipment and going out.

"Just stand normally at the beginning, don't expose your position. If they want to enter at level 1, you can let them position and then gather to fight!" Ye Bo gave the command, and then went to ask his own jungler: "Jie Jie, are you invading the jungle this game?"

"This game... either way! I'll follow your rhythm." After Jie Jie thought seriously, he decided to "lay flat".

Of course, it is indeed because the lineup this game is a bit brain-burning and difficult to predict.

Both sides in this game belong to lineups that look like it's very difficult for all three lanes to develop peacefully. All three lanes have gank opportunities, and only the bottom lane can barely maintain a certain harmony in the early stage.

So the jungler's gank choice in the early stage appears very important.

The BLG side obviously thought so too, so in the situation where the level 1 team lineups of both sides were not bad, they didn't choose to advance rashly, wanting to keep the jungler's information mysterious.

Ye Bo didn't rush to start the layout, focusing on laning first.

Everything has a beginning, and it must depend on the result of laning.

The minions had just arrived at the first tower, and Syndra had arrived in front of the opponent's mid lane tower in advance, looking at Lucian across the river.

"Here we go, look at Syndra's level, just look at the first Q!" Sun Yalong pretended to be a connoisseur.

Syndra's Q skill has a long release distance of 800 yards, and a short CD of 4 seconds at all levels, and also has the characteristic of {can be released while moving}, which is the most core consumption means for laning.

The price is a 0.5-second generation delay, destined to be a skill that tests prediction to the extreme.

Scout naturally understood the purpose of the opponent coming to the minions in advance, staring at his position, his left palm side had already ctrl-shortcut clicked the skill.

Syndra turned her back... but suddenly waved her hand and lifted it lightly, and a dark magic sphere condensed at the opponent's feet unexpectedly!

"Turn-around Q" is a very practical small detail for laning, but this is not enough to deceive the reaction of top players.

Lucian reacted extremely quickly, sliding with {Relentless Pursuit} and rushing straight forward, while dodging the dark magic sphere, using the E skill's 445-yard forward dash distance plus 500-yard attack distance to get close and click twice!

However, due to the back-running Syndra kept when shooting Q, also using the characteristic of {can be released while moving}, Lucian failed to click one more time to hit Press the Attack.

"Good twist and good click! Playing against Ye Wen in laning, you have to fight fiercely!" Xika didn't care about anything else and strung first.

"Wow, Scout is cowardly..." Xiaohai Youshen put forward the opposite view, which made the two people beside him surprised.

"Hey, not Child God, this is also cowardly! Are you really recruited by the Calabash Brothers!" Sun Yalong teased.

"Really, back then IG's Lucian swung in all three lanes! I know this hero too well!" Xiaohai Youshen read the father's order righteously: "Rookie said that mid lane Lucian points E at level 1 is cowardly!"

However, that explanation without any objective factors actually sounded like it had some truth to it.

Don't look at Lucian sliding up with E and clicking twice, dodging skills and consuming, it's very shameless.

But you have to know, the level 1 E skill has a long 22-second cooldown, even if the passive double guns hit the hero, it can only reduce the CD by 4 seconds.

There is still a full 18-second cooling vacuum period!

Confident Lucians mostly choose to point Q at level 1 to try to consume by penetrating minions.

As for dodging skills?

Just use positioning to dodge!

So whether Scout was affected, the so-called "cowardly"?

The answer is affirmative.

No matter how the outside world looks at it, in Scout's own heart, the counter-kill of Akshan in the last game did leave a shadow, making him a bit "unconfident".

From choosing Lucian in this game, to pointing E at level 1 to steadily dodge skills, instead of pointing Q to gamble and consume with each other.

All have proven this point.

Seeing this, Ye Bo also changed his health trading thinking and started to press forward more fiercely.

Laning is, if you are very fierce, there is still a possibility of stabilizing, but if you are cowardly when you come up, don't blame others for climbing on your nose and face!

Grasping the gap of Lucian's minion killing.

Dark Sphere!

Dark Sphere!

With an 18-second slide cooldown, Syndra can use an extra 4 and a half Q skills.

And Lucian has no E skill, it is impossible to get close to Syndra with his 500-yard short hands, so he can only rely on the gambling of positioning and prediction to dodge.

Although Ye Bo only has {understanding proficiency}, and practical proficiency is slightly inferior, relying on his own excellent prediction awareness, Q still has a 50% hit rate.

This is already quite successful in Syndra's level 1 laning!

More importantly, even if Syndra misses Q, she has been carefully leaning towards the minion pile when casting, so even if Q misses, she successfully pushes the minion wave and masters the lane initiative.

This is also the drawback of Lucian pointing E at level 1, without additional minion pushing ability.

At this moment, even if Lucian waits for the E skill to refresh, slides up again to dodge Q and consume, and forcibly clicks out Press the Attack.

Because he has to resist the disadvantageous minion wave, he didn't earn too much health!

Then, it's another 18-second vacuum period!

Syndra is originally a laning playstyle carrying {Aery}. Lucian's Doran's Blade health potion is consumed, and the mid lane has already gained a huge health trading advantage at this moment.

"Turtle! Ye Wen's laning ability, the suppression is too explosive!" Xiaohai Youshen let out an exaggerated long tail sound.

"Damn, Scout is still bringing Cleanse this game, this can't be consumed anymore." Xika pretended to be very anxious.

Cleanse is a summoner skill that reduces laning ability.

The bottom lane rarely brings Cleanse, just because if this thing is not really difficult to dodge and must be solved, the fighting ability is significantly inferior to {Heal} or {Barrier}.

After all, Heal and Barrier are essentially equivalent to extra hundreds of health, and in the fight that is often a difference of one flat A, the fighting ability is not at the same magnitude at all.

And the reason why Scout brought Cleanse is still to corroborate that point.

He is a bit unconfident.

The mid lane reached level 2. Due to the handling at level 1, Scout understood that he could no longer be given too many consumption opportunities, and no longer dared to hand over E to rush forward.

He could only consume by penetrating minions with Q from a long distance.

Weiwei noticed the movement in the mid lane: "I can come at level 3, what do you say?"

"I can do a wave of tower minions," Scout didn't refuse, but made a disclaimer: "But their jungler might also come."

"OK! We can fight 2v2!" Weiwei, knowing that the other party could do the minion wave, also answered confidently.

Under normal circumstances, the progress of mid-jungle reaching level 3 is roughly the same.

And because Syndra is pushing the minion wave, it is impossible to maintain a safe position. Even if the opponent's jungler is counter-ganking, fighting 2v2 is still very likely.

The key point is still "doing the minion wave".

Lucian was just suppressed to the lane at level 1, and Scout's rich laning experience cleverly used the current conditions.

As long as Lucian deliberately holds back and lets the second wave of minions enter the tower, it will cause the third wave of cannon minions to enter the tower together————this is also a technique for creating a "push-back lane".

And what result will this cause?

Because the third wave of minions is under the opponent's tower, if Syndra wants to kill minions normally, she must come to the front of the opponent's tower, and the position will naturally be extremely dangerous!

But seeing Lucian directly stop the flat A action, Ye Bo instantly insighted the opponent's intention.

Perhaps his competition experience is not as good as the opponent's.

But in terms of game experience, Ye Bo relies on the number of game rounds that are absolutely beyond the opponent's imagination, and is as familiar with various mechanisms of the game as his arms and fingers, which is actually his real advantage.

So, Ye Bo also found a way to deal with it.

I saw that after the second wave of minions entered the tower, Syndra walked up normally and kept swinging and positioning in front of the tower, but didn't make a flat A.

Looking, it seemed like she wanted to aim at Lucian and shoot Q.

Scout was also guarding against it, not coming up to push the tower minions, only carefully killing the tail minions.

Ye Bo saw the timing clearly, just when the opponent's first melee minion cooperated with the defensive tower to kill his own minion————he shot and clicked that melee minion at the exact point.

Afterwards, that melee minion was like eating "charm".

Suddenly, it ignored the vast number of enemy minions in front of the tower and walked out of the defensive tower.

It just kept chasing Syndra.

And Syndra pulled her position, pulling it to the middle of the minion wave, and completed the meeting with her third wave of minions that followed.

Hard-bornly pulled the minion wave that entered the tower back to the middle!

"???" Three question marks in the second-channel live broadcast room.

"What the hell is this!?" Sun Yalong turned to ask Xiaohai Youshen: "Child God, what is this?"

"I don't know, I'm not playing mid lane..." Xiaohai Youshen revealed pure confusion: "But it feels like it's a bit like the game where Rookie played against Ye Wen?"

"Ye Wen has strange understanding again! This person even operates the minion wave!" Xika shook his head and sighed.

Actually, this has nothing to do with the mid lane, and it is not a technique.

It is a combined usage of two mechanisms: {Minion} and {Hatred Mechanism}.

The principle is similar to the LeBlanc laning against Rookie back then, the difference is that that time Rookie unconsciously attracted the minion hatred, leading to being chased and "blocked" by minions.

But this wave, Ye Bo actively "attracted" this hatred through the attack of active flat A, grasping the moment when the minion lost its target.

Meet moves with moves, you have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a wall-crossing ladder.

You can do a push-back lane.

I can also break the push-back lane!

It depends on who can think of the best solution in the chaotic situation during the on-the-spot gambling, and use it perfectly.

The pulling of this minion wave has a significant impact.

Because Syndra killed an opponent's melee minion in advance, she must still be able to master the initiative of the minion wave to grab level 3, and more importantly, the position is quite safe at this moment!

Syndra can completely clear the minion wave in the mid-lane position calmly, without needing to advance rashly, and the positioning is not forward.

Weiwei reached level 3 and switched screens to look...

Huh? Didn't we agree on a push-back lane that entered the tower?

"Can this still be ganked?"

"Can't gank, you go brush the jungle."

Volibear can only rely on the movement speed of the Q skill to chase hard without Predator. If Syndra's positioning is forward, there is still a chance, at least she can hit some health.

But now in this positioning, one QE push can retreat without pressure, and there is no space to chase at all.

Volibear changed his steps and walked towards the lower half jungle area.

But you don't come.

Xin Zhao didn't say he wouldn't come.

"Master Ye, can you push it? Or should I hit some health for you first?" Jie Jie, who came to the side of the river, asked.

Ye Bo was not satisfied with this: "Don't rush, let me start first, hitting some health doesn't mean much..."

Syndra pushed the lane normally, and also swung her body normally.

These actions looked very normal.

The visual effect was extremely shocking, causing the barrage to roar.

He is dodging and adjusting, avoiding standing in a "straight line" with Syndra and the ball.

Syndra's EQ combo is a bit like "billiards".

Many times Syndra throws Q seemingly unintentionally, actually unexpectedly through the method of active {Find ball E}, using the consumed fallen Q on the ground to make a sneak attack.

At this moment, Syndra found the straight-line intersection of the two people's positioning.

An E skill {Scatter the Weak}, pushed out the magic sphere left by the consumption!

Lucian was fully focused, seeing Syndra's E lifting action, instinctively almost simultaneously E skill slid to the side!

But, just as the direction of the E slide was stepped out.

Syndra also almost simultaneously condensed a new dark magic sphere in the direction of his E slide.

And that dark magic sphere that appeared slightly later, clearly appeared after the ripple of Scatter the Weak disappeared, but was still pushed out by the "delay wave", creating the effect of {Delayed Push}!

Not only that, because the Q skill aimed at Lucian's displacement landing point, it also hit damage!

Lucian didn't hand over Cleanse at the first time, still thinking he could save a hand... but saw Xin Zhao walk out from the side.

Because of the operation of Syndra pulling the minion wave out, Lucian's position at this moment is also in the mid-lane, not behind.

Blue light exploded, Lucian decisively handed over Cleanse.

"White hit Cleanse, huge profit!" Xiaohai Youshen shouted excitedly: "What an outrageous delayed E!"

"Actually, the delayed E itself is not difficult! But this wave is seeing Lucian's E direction, and then following up with Q. This is purely testing reaction! If you are one step slow, you can't delay push!"

Xika pointed to the jungle direction: "Hey, Xin Zhao seems to want to invade the jungle? Can he beat Volibear!"

The mid lane was not only hit with Cleanse, but also hit with health, leading to a greater health gap in the already disadvantageous laning.

This led to the mid-jungle being able to form an invasion trend in this wave.

"Axi..." Scout ground his teeth and stated the case.

"What, be careful of jungle invasion, I was pushed and have no Cleanse, support will be slow."

Lucian without Cleanse will be rushed to the face if he eats control. Even if he wants to support, he must take a detour from the back of his own jungle, and cannot come over directly from the shortcut of the river.

Weiwei, who had already started hitting the Red Buff, frowned.

Volibear has a small advantage in 1v1 Xin Zhao in the jungle, it's just that the advantage is not too much.

Any side with a little more combat power might break the balance.

But you want him to directly give up competing for this Red Buff, obviously even more impossible, then don't play.

"I can come, I can come!" Liu Qingsong rescued in time at this time: "You hit! I'm guarding below the Krugs, it doesn't matter if I lose some experience."

"You go, they should not dare to dive me." Uzi, who can eat tower minions alone, is also leisurely.

The bottom lane minion wave is just about to be pushed in, Thresh going to support is also not far from the bottom lane, and will not affect AD eating minions.

Although the support lagging behind in level will affect the laning situation of the bottom lane, it is obviously more important to protect the jungle.

Volibear inserted an eye on the outer wall of the Red Buff, and sure enough, he saw Xin Zhao walking in.

"Here!" Liu Qingsong shouted to command: "Don't pull too far, I can only help you hook, otherwise Puppy will be in danger!"

Thresh only prepared to hook across the wall to help "intimidate".

This is because Syndra, who finished pushing the lane in the mid lane, just got up at this moment and didn't follow at the first time.

Looking at it, because she moved after pushing the lane, it was obvious that she couldn't catch up, but in fact, this was also forcing the opponent's mid laner to make a choice.

It depends on whether you want to give up the minions under the tower and lose minions to support.

Scout glanced at the jungle.

Since the support has already gone... I naturally can not move, then don't move!

Anyway, both mid laners should not be able to catch up.

But, neither side dares to delay.

BLG is worried that if they delay, Syndra will arrive first, and at the same time, the bottom lane will be empty for too long, and the ADC will be in danger alone under the tower.

EDG is, after all, in the opponent's jungle, and if they delay and really fight 4v4, the enemy support will still arrive first.

Xin Zhao came to the grass and inserted a vision, seeing the Volibear squatting in it, who had just pulled the Red Buff hatred and came to fight.

Xin Zhao didn't hesitate, a long spear stabbed straight up!

Volibear started hitting the wild monster first, his health couldn't be kept complete, Xin Zhao had a slight health advantage.

But Jie Jie, as if he didn't know the opponent's support was miss, just stabbed hard!

However, Jie Jie had just played Volibear in the last game and knew the mechanism of this hero very well. E {Thundering Smash} rushed up, and he cast the face-to-face W {Frenzied Maul} upon landing.

This is because Volibear is face-to-face, and will definitely directly QEW combo.

The stun hit by the opponent's Q skill is just right to use the casting time of {Frenzied Maul} to perform a "control offset" of the fight!

But when Volibear's lightning exploded, another hook flew out from below!

The control connection between the BLG jungle and support was quite smooth.

Xin Zhao was controlled on the spot for 2 seconds, and was hit by Volibear's set first.

Thresh didn't fly over by the hook of the Q skill————because Xin Zhao's health looked like he couldn't beat Volibear, and he prepared to retreat in advance.

"Don't chase if you drive him away, Syndra is coming soon." Scout watched the battle situation by switching screens from time to time and instructed.

"Well, if he doesn't leave, he'll die!" Weiwei could probably calculate Syndra's position, not panicked at all.

Because Syndra pushed the lane and then came, and she was walking over under the vision in front of the tower, she probably just arrived at the F6 outer wall intersection at this moment.

From there, walking to the engagement point of the Red Buff grass position, it would take at least five or six seconds!

Even if Syndra was willing to flash over the wall regardless of everything, as long as Volibear saw the golden light of the Flash, he would naturally synchronize and flash back to dodge.

But, at this moment.

Weiwei's peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of something "disappearing" beside him...

Red Buff!?

The next moment, he only saw a huge object in the air, smashing towards himself for no reason, and when it landed, it bloomed with "dark energy" all over the ground!

This is not over yet.

Because just before that giant object landed, a dark magic sphere shot out from the wall, actually flying out first, fiercely pushing Volibear back by half!

The detail is that the two arrived almost at the same time, but the magic sphere landed first, and the combo sequence was the {WQEW} pressed in an instant.

This led to Volibear being stunned for 1.5 seconds, but the Red Buff that landed did not.

The Red Buff, who was full of anger, was inexplicably "picked up" and smashed away, and just after landing, it anxiously and angrily searched for the nearest attack target.

The target was the white bear in front of him, and he immediately raised his beast palm and smashed it down!

"Damn!?" Weiwei was a bit confused.

Because in his calculation, Syndra should still be more than one wall away, far away!

Volibear's E skill shield value can only last for 3 seconds. The 2-second control of the previous Xin Zhao ended, and it was actually pulled away by more than half. It had already disappeared when the beast palm smashed down.

Xin Zhao quickly stabbed out AQQQ {Three Talon Strike} during Syndra's 1.5-second stun, and then followed up with a 0.75-second knock-up after the stun ended.

At the same time, the passive {Determination} quickly recovered two mouthfuls of health and hit two extra damages, plus the full-layer Conqueror recovery.

The health bars of both sides actually reversed in this instant!

"Shao, save me!" Weiwei shouted to Thresh, who was originally preparing to return to the bottom lane.

Liu Qingsong was also stunned, because he was also watching Syndra's position disappear.

But the support didn't hesitate at this critical moment. Saving the jungler was important. Thresh decisively flashed over the wall and used the E skill {Flay} to sweep Xin Zhao away, striving for escape time for the jungler.

Volibear, who was left with a thread of health in the blink of an eye, didn't even have time to wait for the W that was still 1 second away to bite out, and ran away without looking back.

Actually, just Xin Zhao alone, Volibear's health shouldn't have dropped so fast...

But damn, there has always been a Red Buff "helping" to fight him!

Just during these 2.25 seconds of being controlled, Volibear had already been patted three times by the Red Buff. Just these three times by the Red Buff knocked off 200 health!

Plus the damage of Syndra's EW, it is equivalent to Volibear eating an extra 350 points of nearly half-health damage, which naturally led to the health reversal instantly.

Xin Zhao stabbed while threatening forward, as if he still wanted to continue hitting Thresh, relying on the double recovery of Conqueror and passive, simply having the momentum of fighting more and more bravely!

The level 2 Thresh also had no extra ability to keep people, and could only bury his head and run hard.

But 3 seconds later, Xin Zhao slashed out the refreshed W against the Thresh in front————but suddenly flashed to the side unexpectedly.

Second-stage W-Flash stab!

While Weiwei was shocked, he flashed towards the second tower below, but that 50% slow hit, plus Xin Zhao's doubled E distance, was directly chased and stabbed!

Volibear's QE is inherently 3 seconds CD longer than Xin Zhao's WE.

Plus {Three Talon Strike} reduces the CD of all skills by 3 seconds, which is equivalent to Xin Zhao's skills being 6 seconds faster than Volibear's. Volibear's QE is all in CD at this moment, and there is no extra operational opportunity under the tower at all.

Stabbed out one more shot, piercing the bear's head!

"I lost, God Zhao Yun!" Sun Yalong roared: "Although Xin Zhao's health is also very difficult to run, at most he can only let Thresh take the head. If he wants to wait for Lucian to come over, he might send it to the tower!"

"Ye Wen, damn, this wave! How can that W and E be so far? It definitely caught the opposite side off guard!" Xiaohai Youshen focused on filial piety: "Syndra is really too critical. This hero is suitable for being the critical man forever. He is worthy of being the candidate for two balls and one chicken!"

"Pulling the Red Buff to help fight? Ye Wen is a genius!"

The director gave a replay.

Weiwei's distance estimation had no reason to be too different. At that time, Syndra had indeed just walked outside the F6 wall, and the distance between them was very far.

And Syndra indeed didn't flash, otherwise no matter where she flashed, Volibear would definitely be able to react and synchronize and flash to dodge.

In the replay, Syndra just approached the wall outside the Red Buff.

Afterwards, it was inserting an eye to obtain vision, picking up the Red Buff across the wall, and then aiming at the "inside of the thick wall" below the mid-lane, throwing it out.

That Red Buff thrown out, and the QE magic sphere shot out synchronously.

Just like that, they flew out a distance of 1800 yards, a ridiculous parabola close to a game screen, separated by thousands of miles!

The visual effect was extremely shocking, causing the chat to roar with excitement.

【I super! This is throwing a shot put in the canyon!】

【Yuan Shou Star Spirit, Zoe, don't pretend, I know it's you!】

【EDG is recruiting thugs in the jungle, Red Buff priority (F6 not accepted)】

【This is called everything in the canyon can be used by me! Master Ye is really handsome!】

【Dao Chu, ah! You are brushing minions when the jungle is invaded! You are more right-handed than the left hand! Get out!】

【Actually, this can't blame Dao】

【I go, Puppy! Damn Dao Chu, really deserves to die, purely pitting my dog!】

Because Thresh flashed to support and was forced to chase and kill Xin Zhao.

This led to the bottom lane being empty for too long.

Leona and Kai'Sa hung Ignite and dived hard. Fortunately, Sivir didn't learn skills at level 2, learned E skill to block Leona's Q skill in seconds, and then decisively flashed + Heal to pull away the distance with a strong desire to survive.

If Leona and Kai'Sa succeeded in diving hard, even if it was 1 for 1, the ADC would definitely be a huge loss + explosion!

And at this moment, Sivir could only stand behind the tower, waiting for Thresh to come back after picking up the head.

Therefore, she had to miss a whole wave of tower minions.

Uzi waited helplessly, feeling a bit over-cooked, and randomly switched screens to look at the hero avatar of "Lucian" in the mid lane...

This thing, no matter how you look at it, is uncomfortable!
