Chapter 95: Fierce Clash! Mind and Mind!

Due to Fiora's death, the upper jungle was suddenly somewhat empty.

The full-state EDG directly turned to invade the opponent's upper jungle, and this was actually EDG's true purpose for the level 1 team fight.

Even if Fiora hadn't been sick, EDG's effort to move five people up was just to forcibly exchange the upper jungle start.

It's just that if Fiora had squatted normally, there might have been a 5v5 encounter in the upper jungle.

And the effect of exchanging half-maps was very direct.

A jungler who starts in both jungles normally will be in the upper jungle when reaching level 4, and one will be in the lower jungle, directly affecting the jungler's first gank rhythm.

Weiwei naturally saw the opponent's idea.

If Fiora hadn't had an accident, they would definitely have called people up to guard the jungle.

But now it's 1 minute in, and without knowing the whereabouts of the opponent's bot lane, it's easy to be swayed by calling their own bot lane up. After thinking, Monkey could only be forced to drive away and turn to exchange jungles from the lower half.

"Bin, you have to be very careful in the first four levels, it's best not to cross the river, they definitely want to mess with you." Weiwei saw the opponent's intention.

"I know." Bin replied dully, but he also knew this was a situation caused by his own level 1 behavior, and he couldn't blame others.

However, Weiwei also had other ideas.

He didn't want to follow the opponent's rhythm, believing this was a taboo for a jungler.

Since you want me to play in the lower half... then I won't.

Just change the rhythm and mess with your mid lane!

Regardless of whether the jungler is in the upper half or the lower half, he can easily circle to the mid lane to "on the way" gank.

As the center of the canyon map, it is both the roaming center and the meeting center.

"Mid laner, can you let go of the lane in the early game? I can come at level 3, catching their mid can share the firepower of their jungler's gank."

Scout immediately understood: "Come, 2v2 is easy to play, I have an extra Ignite."

Normally, if Sylas wants to protect his health against Zoe, he must be pushed, after all, it's short-handed against long-handed.

But in fact, with a total of five AOE skills including passive + Q, Sylas's "forced" pushing ability is no weaker than Zoe's, it's just that if he wants to protect his health, he naturally can't use skills to clear the lane like that.

The minion line arrived.

Sylas plays timidly, staying parallel to his own minion wave while keeping a slightly back-positioned stance, not giving Zoe the opportunity to "harass both the person and the minions at once."

Ye Bo's understanding of Zoe was clearly no less than Scout's.

Sylas would only E forward and use E after Zoe finished Q, using double passive to hit all six minions in the minion pile.

And Scout adopted a completely opposite laning strategy.

Don't hit minions, just let you push the lane, and always use Q and auto-attack Aery to consume people.

"The mid lane seems to have adopted different handling methods. The student here can see that the killing intent is not shallow! It feels like Sylas can't hold on like this!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed.

"Due to the weakening of consumables, the 'Potion King' routine of Corrupting Potion + Biscuits is no longer so favored. Sylas is also carrying the Doran's Ring two-red approach, but in this case, Sylas will likely have to be hit out of TP at level 3 or 4!"

Wang Duoduo was a bit hesitant: "This is not an unreasonable way to lane, that is."

Rita didn't think so much and said directly: "I remember player Ye is also a master of Zoe. Doing this should have his way of handling it, right?"

The commentators have always had the impression of Ye Bo as an extreme laning operation game, and rarely see the other party use this kind of "using blood to exchange minions" forced laning method to avoid collision with the opponent.

But Sylas's idea in this game is exactly what the enemy wants!

"Monkey seems to be coming! Level 3 gank, player Ye hasn't made vision here!"

"This position is a bit dangerous! Sylas is forcibly pushing the lane, the student has already taken the opportunity to control the line in!"

Because Sylas frequently uses QE to push the lane, and Zoe deliberately puts the line in to wait for the jungler's gank, the third wave of minions at level 3 is exactly a wave of tower-entering minions.

This led to Sylas standing in front of the tower at this moment, looking indeed a bit forward.

However, it was precisely because Sylas's position was so fearless that the BLG duo felt vigilant.

"Xin Zhao is probably squatting behind." Weiwei reminded first.

Then Monkey directly touched out while invisible.

Ye Bo seemed to feel the abnormality of Zoe's movements and started to lean upward.

Scout saw the opponent notice the intention, and decisively pretended to move forward, suddenly flashing through the minions and shooting the Sleepy Trouble Bubble at close range!

"Zoe's summoner skills are not worth money."

Even if Ye Bo reacted and flashed synchronously, it would still be equivalent to Zoe being able to pick up a flash, which is still very profitable.

Sylas will have to bear the danger of the opponent having an extra flash in the next minute!

This is also one of the reasons why Sylas didn't bring Ignite; bringing it is just giving Zoe a chance to release two Ignites.

But Sylas, didn't flash.

Ye Bo didn't walk towards his own tower, but instead rushed forward with a {Abduct} towards the opponent's jungle, directly bumping into the flying Sleepy Trouble Bubble!

But only to see, Sylas then threw out the second stage {Abduct} chain—aiming at the direction of the enemy F6!

The sleepiness of the Sleepy Trouble Bubble descended at the same time as the shot, and the sleeping Sylas was still forcibly pulled into the jungle pit by the chain!

Fortunately, Scout was experienced and didn't rush to shoot the Paddle Star, adjusting the shooting direction extremely quickly, turning to shoot the Paddle Star into the F6 camp.

But, when the Paddle Star hit the object in the shadow inside the F6 wall.

Scout's eyes were full of shock!

"Chase, chase, chase! He should have no health left! Running here won't get away!" Weiwei was excited and still wanted to chase.

"Don't chase, my Q didn't hit him."

"But he will also lose some health, and he will have to go home and hand over TP, it's okay."

Zoe's Q skill cannot provide vision, and the E skill only provides a direction after the sleep takes effect, and it was very clear that the Paddle Star just now hit an object.

But Scout was extremely familiar with Zoe.

Zoe has a special "small Easter egg," which is that the Q skill has a subtle difference in 【sound effect】 when hitting a unit that "ate E" and "didn't eat E."

He heard the difference with one ear and knew that the Paddle Star he just pulled back didn't hit Sylas.

The reason is naturally not hard to guess—"Because the large jungle monster's auto-attack will wake up the bubble"!

Zoe emptied Q and had no follow-up damage, and Xin Zhao was also likely in the upper half of the map.

Recently, he has also been practicing Sylas, a version hero, and is very clear about the attributes of this hero.

Sylas, this hero, has an all-in fighting ability at level 3 that is outrageous!

With all skills hitting, carrying Ignite, and eating full {Last Stand}, he often has the ability to all-in someone from full health!

So if they forcibly chased deep, in Xin Zhao's 2v2 encirclement, the best case would be a 1-for-1 trade, and for Sylas, who had to go home with TP, it would definitely be a big profit.

Since that's the case, it's just using his own flash to forcibly exchange for the opponent's TP in three minutes.

And Sylas, because he was driven away by the jungler, still missed a few minion lines.

Scout's face was still calm, but his heart was inevitably fluctuating.

Weiwei shrugged when he heard the command; anyway, he just came to put pressure on the mid lane, not thinking he must kill, Sylas has to go home now, which can be considered as putting pressure on.

Monkey was preparing to return to the lower half to continue farming.

But just at this moment, Weiwei suddenly felt something strange.

"Hey, not right?"

"Xin Zhao is also in the lower jungle, and didn't hit my F6, which means he didn't start from my upper jungle."

Monkey specifically took an extra turn to look at the enemy F6 when he circled to the mid lane just now, confirming it was there, and only then came to the conclusion that Xin Zhao must have started in the upper half.

And Monkey had already finished farming a piece of jungle and reached level 3.

Xin Zhao, whose farming efficiency is only fast and not slow, has no reason not to reach level 3 yet.

Then, there is only one possibility.

That is, after Xin Zhao completed the invasion at level 1 and occupied the upper jungle vision, he likely returned to his own jungle to farm.

But doing so, what is the point of the level 1 invasion?

Weiwei's brain was suddenly short-circuited, not understanding what the opponent was thinking.

However, listening to his self-talk.

Scout noticed the clue.

Sylas, who had originally E'd into F6 and didn't walk back from the river, and everyone thought had gone home...

"Top lane!"

"Holy crap, Bin, be careful!"

The two realized it late.

At the start, Xin Zhao did return to his blue zone to farm after clearing the vision.

There are 2 purposes for doing so.

First, to see if the mid lane can grab the line before level 3.

If not, then he can turn around and use this information gap of the jungle to turn around and hit the defensive invasion of the lower jungle!

Defaulting to exchanging jungles at level 1, he will almost certainly catch Monkey in the lower half, as a backup for the fighting rhythm!

If he started in the upper half, he wouldn't have this way back.

Second, it is to "align" the time after seeing that the mid lane can grab the line.

Because if Xin Zhao started in the enemy's upper half, when reaching level 3, Sylas couldn't finish pushing the third wave of minions—so he couldn't follow along!

To forcibly do things, relying on a single Xin Zhao is still a bit difficult.

At this moment, Sylas, who E'd into the wall, had long since walked straight from the red zone and formed a pincer with Xin Zhao, who was also stuck outside the tri-bush vision.

When Bin heard his teammate's shout, he had already seen the three people appearing around him.

"Can you operate, Bin! I'm on my way!" Monkey turned back again and wanted to go up.

Zoe didn't move, accelerating to push the mid lane.

"Don't come, I can operate." Bin glanced at the opponent's position and replied confidently and quickly.

Monkey was still outside F6 at this moment; if he waited for him to walk up, his corpse would be cold, and it would affect the farming rhythm.

Bin was really not afraid, and even a bit excited, feeling that there was an opportunity to operate.

Flandre naturally had preparations too.

Although there was no good opportunity for trading, Kainan had been pulling the minion line well, relying on the opponent thinking Xin Zhao started in the upper half, and several times used his body to resist the line, hoarding a large wave of minions into the tower this wave.

Fiora didn't dare to step forward because she was worried about the jungler. Even though Kainan had been trying to forcibly trade, both sides' health was still at 80%.

A healthy Fiora, and both were level 3, Chen Zebin determined that he must have room to operate!

Kainan, Xin Zhao, Sylas, all three have control.

Fiora's operation is actually very simple; as long as she can use W to block any control, and then use W to rebound and stun the person resisting the tower for 1.5 seconds, the opponent will at least have to eat 2-3 tower shots, then at least she can trade 1!

This hero's game is also looking at the release of W.

The minion line entered the tower.

Ye Bo gave simple instructions, then took the lead and E-slid out, "shaking his head" on the spot as if wanting to intimidate!

But Chen Zebin was not so easily intimidated.

He also didn't believe the opponent would be so stupid as to be so obvious at this distance...

Sylas, who had been shaking for a while, really threw out the second stage E straight at Fiora!

And that E seemed a bit strange.

"?"

Clearly, Sylas didn't E at close range. For a top lane player who cares most about operational details, this is simply a basic-level reaction.

Fiora steadily set up {Blade Waltz} aiming at Sylas. At the moment the chain hit, the sword formation of the blade waltz turned from blue to gold, stabbing out a golden stun sword energy!

Directly stunning Sylas under the tower!

Chen Zebin's heart was full of question marks... This guy treats me like a vegetable!

He didn't think too much, opened E to kill, and swung his western sword, slashing at Sylas's forehead.

You have to know, Sylas's health was not at full state, and he would die if he resisted the tower twice!

But strangely.

Xin Zhao and Kainan just stood by and "watched" Sylas being slashed, without doing anything at all.

"Hey!?"

The next moment Chen Zebin also discovered... Sylas, who clearly E'd him, wasn't resisting the tower!

Xin Zhao and Kainan were waiting for Sylas's stun time to end.

Without the help of the defensive tower, relying on a single level 3 Fiora, the damage was clearly far from enough.

Xin Zhao started with a triple claw strike at close range. Without the deterrence of the blade waltz, he had no scruples, holding the E skill in his hand and waiting for Fiora to flash and follow up.

Triple claw strike knocked up, wind slash electric thorn stabbed out, Kainan followed up with the instant stun of EWQ to hit full control.

Sylas moved last, using the teammate's control effect, silkily hitting the full damage of the four-layer passive of AAQQAWA!

Because Fiora's few slashes against Sylas before had already brought Sylas's health down to 30%, Sylas saved W until the end, eating the full 11% damage increase of {Last Stand} throughout!

Fiora was almost instantly slashed to the ground by the swinging chain!

"Bin fell~~~" Uzi in the stream imitated Barrier's Taiwan accent: "This is so uncomfortable!"

"It's exactly the same as the match the streamer had before!"

"Ye Wen, this person, he is always able to find a gap to give you a stab. Playing the side lane is really uncomfortable! Too much mind!"

As everyone knows, Uzi in this stream state is a water-cooled Rumble, outstandingly familiar, and can even open himself.

Also as everyone knows, except for the clone mode, there can only be one hero on one side of a Summoner's Rift match.

After one Rumble, maybe a new Rumble will be picked.

For example, Bin on the field at this moment, his face flushed rapidly on camera, plus his round face, it's simply inheritance!

He just said he could operate...

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his operation, just a bit strange why Sylas didn't resist the tower.

Weiwei tried to cool down the top lane, blowing wind with words, trying to become a human refrigerator.

"Handsome Master Ye! Handsome!" Barrier filled the emotional value and also asked curiously: "Why didn't you resist the tower? I thought you wanted a 1-for-1."

Flandre kindly reminded first: "Ye Bo, you just B on the spot, share some experience."

Ye Bo explained while returning to the city on the spot: "Actually, it's very simple. Because after using E, I pulled a step outside the tower. When E hit, I wasn't in the tower, the damage came out first, so the defensive tower won't target me."

This is not a very difficult technique, but it is practical enough in actual combat.

Sylas's E has a constant exit position. Due to the flight time, Sylas can move for a short time after shooting.

Before moving outside the tower, Sylas shook his head a few times at the edge, just to grasp this distance.

After all, in normal mode, the defensive tower has no "warning range," and to grasp the attack range of the defensive tower, one can only rely on "naked eyes" and "feeling."

So Ye Bo spent some time and couldn't move directly.

But it was his action of "grasping the distance" that, in Chen Zebin's eyes, was clearly wanting to use E to "intimidate" to trick his W!

Fiora even deliberately bumped into his chain—because it was clear that the blade waltz is easiest to block the chain.

"Sylas TP to the line after returning to the city. Although Zoe pushes the line very fast, Sylas actually only missed a few minions!" Guan Zeyuan shouted angrily.

"The key is that Sylas was going to return to the city anyway in this wave, this is almost equivalent to a gank on the way!"

Wang Duoduo speculated again: "Maybe it's a game between the two sides. EDG might have made several plans. From the choice of Xin Zhao's jungle route in the early game, one can see a glimpse, and seeing the opponent choose a level 3 gank mid, they made a move to see the move!"

Rita blinked her eyes that hadn't been polluted by knowledge: "I feel that even if EDG had expected it in advance, the mid lane pushing the line is still brave! Zoe flashing E is really dangerous! That reverse run is too witty, if not handled well, the mid lane would be caught!"

Wang Duoduo agreed deeply: "Indeed, this is the player Ye we are familiar with! I said he wouldn't just want to use blood to exchange for the line, he must want to do something!"

"I feel the laning in the mid lane has just begun!"

Vision was refocused on the mid lane.

Sylas and Zoe, in the design model of the hero, are actually very similar heroes.

Both are "Strong-Small Skill" models!

Sylas's ultimate, due to the huge uncertainty, is designed by the designer according to the template of only being able to steal a "Weak-R," which leads to the four skills PQWE of this hero, whose values and mechanisms are very powerful!

Not only are QWE all high-damage skills, but the Q skill also has two stages, and the four-stage passive is at least equal to 2 small skills.

Equivalent to, normal heroes only have 2-3 damage skills.

But Sylas has 7!

And how many heroes can kill someone from full health at level 3?

And for Sylas, the only problem lies in the hit rate of the skills.

Among them, the most important is the E skill.

Not only because the E skill has a super high base damage and hard control, but also because only when the E skill hits can it help Sylas move and successfully hit a full set of damage.

This is why it is said that Zoe is easy to play against Sylas.

Besides the fact that R doesn't improve Sylas much.

To put it bluntly, these two people kill each other, both are two sets of skills.

But Sylas's most important skill is not easy to hit, and playing against Zoe, even if it hits, Zoe can definitely throw E in the air or on the ground, and hit a full set back.

Don't forget, Zoe is also a "Strong-Small Skill" model with 0 damage ultimate, completely only used as an enhancement to QE skills.

So Zoe actually only needs to never take the initiative to throw E, just wait for you to take the initiative to E, and slowly consume with the long-hand advantage, the laning is almost invincible.

Theoretically, this is the case.

But in fact, Ye Bo doesn't care at all right now.

The one who is anxious is Scout.

Sylas has already done things, and he is carrying TP, without too much offensive pressure.

But Zoe, regardless of hero positioning or the summoner skills carried, must play some offensiveness.

"Weiwei, watch me play, I'm going to keep pushing the line." Scout gave instructions to the jungler.

"I understand!" Weiwei gave a firm response.

Bin didn't have any opinions either; he would only have a chance at level 6. Now, even if the jungler comes, it won't threaten Kainan.

The bot lane is waiting for the first opportunity to move.

Zoe, with the help of vision safety and the jungler's protection, presses deep, just relying on the fact that she has an extra Ignite and 2v2 is not afraid.

Sylas is also extremely stable and doesn't fight back, without any intention to take the initiative.

Time came to 5 and a half minutes, and neither side found a very good opportunity.

"Doggo, be careful, I'm moving." Liu Qingsong Nautilus started to move at the opportunity of leaving the bot lane.

Meiko's Amumu also moved.

But in this wave, the decisions of the supports of both sides had significant differences, which also highlighted the support styles of Meiko and Liu Qingsong.

Although Amumu was also leaning towards the mid lane after leaving the base, the main purpose was just to help the mid lane do some vision, and the positioning was still biased towards the lower half, always keeping his own attack damage carry in mind.

And Nautilus was completely different, moving quickly by hooking the wall with his shoes... directly running towards the top lane!

Flandre only returned to the city once, and the vision of the first wave had a vacuum period at five minutes.

"Song's spiritual gank is coming!" Uzi shouted for his good friend.

Nautilus touched behind, and together with Monkey, took his position.

"Can you kill, Bin? Can you kill? I can flash to stay, or just hit the flash." Liu Qingsong asked.

"Can kill! If you can stay, you can kill!" Bin had long been itching to operate and shouted confidently.

Flandre's positioning was not forward.

But it was still that sentence "stability and suppression cannot be obtained at the same time." As long as you can suppress the opponent, it is impossible to always maintain a safe position.

Not to mention Barrier was also wandering in the upper half, looking like there was no too much danger.

Nautilus stood at the corner of the tri-wall, carding the edge of vision, and found a gap in the minions.

Decisively flashed and hooked from a long distance!

The anchor accurately passed through the middle of the front and back row minions and hooked Kainan, directly putting on Ignite, and the glacial slow zone appeared on the ground at the same time, then carefully held back the passive to hit full control.

Monkey flashed over the wall and hit!

"Holy crap, three!"

"Flandre, I'll be there immediately!"

Kainan summoned the thunder after being hooked by Nautilus, but the passive knocked out by Nautilus later still continued to stun for 0.5 seconds.

Fiora held the western sword and stabbed, flashed into the thundercloud, and the R started, lighting up four flaws!

Nautilus and Monkey didn't reach level 6 after all, and it seemed there was no follow-up control...

Kainan flashed E to pull away the distance. Although it was only the distance of a flash, it looked like he couldn't be kept.

Just at this moment.

Fiora looked at the timing and stabbed QW into the {Blade Waltz}!

Fiora, who had just broken free from the thundercloud, rushed into the thundercloud—actively detonating the two thunder seals on her body!

The sword formation resisted control and changed color in the air.

Successfully stunned Kainan in place!

Monkey decisively flashed to follow up with damage, and Fiora stabbed the four flaws fiercely and swiftly.

Kainan's {Lightning Rush} acceleration had been worn out in the stun control. After breaking free from control, he could only bear the burning of Ignite and the attack of the sword and stick, walking hard back to the tower.

Although Xin Zhao had rushed from the river, Nautilus went forward, using his body to block for a while.

The teammates followed up into the tower, accurately protecting blood and changing resistance, forcibly completing the kill, and then the three gathered, making Xin Zhao dare not chase.

【Appeared! Porcelain-touching sword technique!】

【Holy crap, Bin!】

【Liu God's roaming! I said that if Thresh went to roam in that match, it would definitely be different, but he just had to hang in the bot lane and sit in jail! Really don't know which idiot commanded it!】

【No, Kainan has no ending and has TP, Xin Zhao can come to guard the plating, it's equivalent to using three flashes to take one head, doesn't seem to be very profitable... wait, don't fight the canyon team fight anymore?】

【Ah? B mid lane was solo killed again! Damn, this episode I've seen before!】

"Nice! Good kill, BLG."

"Hey, holy crap!?"

Although it wasn't particularly profitable, Uzi still shouted excitedly to prove his true identity.

But just a few seconds later.

The camera suddenly switched to the mid lane... and a scene very familiar to him was transmitted.

【EDG Ye killed BLG Scout!】

"Again!!! Scout!!!"

"Hey, why is this!"

"Why on earth, once the jungler leaves, this mid lane can be killed, is this scientific!"

Uzi seemed to have been poked at some bad memories, ignoring the main team and expressing confusion.

Not only Uzi couldn't understand, but even the BLG crowd on the field was blank.

Just fought back in the top lane, how did something happen in the mid lane again?

Although Amumu was wandering near the mid lane, the kill box on the right was clear, Amumu had no assist, it was a proper solo kill!

Ignite solo killed by TP?

And what's very strange is... the positions of Sylas and Zoe's corpses at this moment seem to be a bit too far apart?

Everyone was full of question marks, wanting to know what happened in the mid lane.

But, with the replay from the director.

The question marks on everyone's heads gradually turned into exclamation marks!

"Holy crap, this works too!?"
