Chapter 97: Sylas Stealing Outside the Arena?

"Congratulations to EDG for taking the lead in this top-four Bo5, temporarily gaining the lead 1-0!" The impassioned Wang Duoduo seemed to have more to say.

"The final sword fight was truly exciting. I thought Fiora's one-second four-break was going to be a solo kill... I didn't expect Sylas to be able to do it too!"

Guan Zeyuan took over the conversation: "Once upon a time, we remembered that player Ye debuted as a single-hero specialist, but now, in just a few months, it feels like his hero pool has become quite deep! And it seems like he can dabble in any type of hero!"

"What's the same is that no matter what hero he picks, he always seems to be able to lead the team's rhythm, tearing open one wound after another in the opponent's defense, even if it's his first time in the playoffs, his state is still hot!"

Rita, listening to the discussion of the two people beside her, followed up: "As expected of the regular season MVP!"

The official commentators praised Ye Bo's performance.

Mainly because Sylas's several wonderful solo kills were indeed stunning enough.

Flandre turned off the camera, exhaled, and looked up happily: "That last wave was really handsome, Master Ye. This... I feel like Chen Zebin shouldn't be able to take it, haha!"

As a top lane player, Flandre still understands this position and the opponent's personality in this game very well.

As an orphan position that emphasizes 1v1 laning all year round, Chen Zebin is the kind of style that is extremely confident in his own operations.

Four sisters players should all have this feeling—they like to show off to others, but find it hard to accept being shown off by others.

Otherwise, it's simply more uncomfortable than killing him!

"I feel like if I keep playing, I'm going to become an invading jungler like San Shu~~" Barrier leaned back in his gaming chair comfortably.

"Recasting the glory of the national electricity, it is my duty, right?" Ye Bo replied with a smile.

Perhaps it's because Barrier's Jarvan IV impressions were too deep.

Causing the outside world to have a stereotype, using "Isn't a hero like Jarvan IV a functional type" as an argument, thinking that Barrier can only play functional initiation junglers and can't play jungle cores and invasions.

But in fact, this is entirely determined by EDG's jungle needs.

Clearlove and Steak walked in with the referee.

Seeing the team members crush the opponent and successfully win the first game of the playoffs, the joy on their faces was clearly unstoppable.

The two praised the team members in turn, focusing on the mid laner.

After all, Ye Bo is the only pure rookie among EDG's starting players, participating in the playoffs for the first time, and is the absolute core of the team. They must ensure that his mentality doesn't have problems to ensure the team's state.

"Our mid lane is indeed fierce, I feel like the bot lane just needs to farm and we'll win." Viper joked about himself.

EDG's bot lane strategy share has always been on the lighter side, and it's nice to occasionally revisit the feeling of the past.

"Indeed, mainly because little Ye Bo is here now, I don't need to use my brain at all~" Meiko also joked along.

Speaking of which, Meiko is the one playing most comfortably now.

All along, his hero operations, whether hard support or soft support, have been fine.

But the reason why hard support would be criticized is because his roaming awareness in hard support play is relatively weak compared to other support players.

If you have to say it, it's just that he cares too much about laning and his own ADC.

Of course, using the "unpleasant" words of Tieba netizens to describe it: "Treating the ADC too much like a human being..."

In fact, in the current durability version, the mainstream hero picks in the bot lane are all things like Aphelios and Jinx, which emphasize laning much less.

Unless a matchup like Kalista against Draven appears, the probability of lane kills is extremely low, and even trades are rare.

And since Ye Bo took over the command, Meiko basically only needs to accept the dispatch.

It's like that timely "spiritual" roaming to the mid lane, and the rhythm of several gank cooperations in the mid-term.

Ye Bo is not a support player, so he is naturally not as good as a professional support in some key nodes.

But he also has his own way—

By making other positions highly correlated with his own mid lane, he can use his mid lane rhythm to drive other lanes, playing out "mid-top linkage," "mid-jungle linkage," "mid-support linkage," or even "dual-C linkage."

Not to mention that Ye Bo can always provide some key "cold knowledge information."

For example, in the last team fight, the linkage between Amumu and Zoe.

Amumu support is not a cold pick. EDG had practiced it in the spring split, and naturally had encountered situations facing Zoe.

But before Scout, he had never told Meiko anything about the extreme distance of the two skills, such as being able to skip the body and Q back to the landing point.

Perhaps it was assumed that this was common sense, or perhaps it was too lazy to say...

Ye Bo was also full of joy watching.

Because in this game, there was an unexpected "surprise."

Initially, he was still wondering why his Sylas didn't trigger much experience value reward after this game ended, only the guaranteed reward for the 【Leap Four Walls Flash Strike】 operation.

Could it be that those waves weren't extreme enough?

But just as Ye Bo opened the 【Hero Guide】 in confusion, he found something weird.

The 【Hero Guide】 only lights up the avatars of heroes who have reached level 5 proficiency, and other times they are gray avatars, which is very conspicuous.

Level 5 is a white frame, level 6 is a red frame, and level 7 is a gold frame.

And although Ye Bo obtained Old Deng's "minimum guarantee reward," plus the recent extra training he had done, he had already expanded the basic mastery of quite a few level 5 heroes for his hero spoon.

But in fact, it was still a number that could be counted at a glance.

There was no way, Ye Bo before playing professionally was indeed an ultimate hero spoon, only knowing those three or four heroes, and time was really limited.

But after this game ended, he was stunned to find—【Fiora】's avatar was inexplicably lit up!

You must know, Ye Bo had never practiced Fiora.

Although as an old hero, everyone certainly knows her various skill mechanisms and small operations, but in terms of actual operation, it is definitely infinitely close to 0.

That is to say, Ye Bo inexplicably raised a hero with 0 proficiency to level 5!

Level 5 doesn't look high, but the effect is quite obvious.

Not to mention anything else, just say that in the future, when he faces an enemy with Fiora, the success probability of "betting on W" will increase because of familiarity, just like the effect when he faced Knight's Galio and other heroes in laning before.

And that's not all.

That Zoe, who was only level 6 and past the mid lane, was now extremely close to level 7, obviously having risen by a large chunk!

It is not difficult to infer that this is because Ye Bo has a deeper understanding of the use of these heroes' R skills in the cooperation with these heroes when using Sylas.

For example, although he had never practiced Fiora's "one-second four-break."

But now if he were to open the training camp to try it, he would probably be able to master it within three times at most!

This was a form similar to 【Understanding Enlightenment】, and it was indeed a combination usage he had thought of himself at the moment.

"Stealing outside the arena~?"

Ye Bo only lamented that it's a pity that Viego can't be played in the mid lane in this version.

Otherwise, if you follow this path...

However, this special form of Sylas, although it requires him to develop it on the spot, is undoubtedly a very surprising thing, perhaps it can bring unexpected gains.

The stream was playing the full highlight of the previous game.

If anyone had just entered the stream, they would definitely think, is this a "personal highlight" of Sylas!

There is no way, the presence of Sylas in this game is really too strong.

EDG's lineup is actually a proper team fight lineup. According to reason, the screen time of Sylas as a 【BP strategy】 purpose pick shouldn't be too much, and there should be more beautiful team fights.

It's just a pity that BLG has been avoiding fighting, and the team fight that really started only had the last wave.

And from the first wave of roaming to the top lane, to the magical solo kill in the mid lane, the chain combo, then to the operational solo kill in the mid-term side lane, and finally the sword fight in the bot lane.

It can simply be said that every wave is a performance that can be on the highlight reel!

The stream screen presented the MVP player of the previous game, and the hero original painting was undoubtedly on the paper.

The barrage in the match stream was scrolling wildly.

【Fake Thief Saint: Stealing Cup Skill】

【Real Thief God: Whatever you can do, I can do, and what you can't do, I can do too!】

【Streamer is so good at playing chains, tie me up QAQ!】

【Don't rush! This is a Bo5, didn't the student suppress Sylas in the early game in this game? It's just luck! Wait for the next game!】

【Hey, didn't Bin post a dynamic before the match saying he wanted to prove who is the operation king today, and also said he wanted to use Kalista to educate Master Ye? Brother Bin lied to us!】

【Where did he lie? Didn't Song Bin already prove it with his life in the end—that's right, it's Ye Wen!】

BLG's preparation room was not as lively as the one next door.

Steak already had a bad premonition when the lineup was picked, but what he thought of was the failure in the resource team fight, so he was still exhorting not to rush before going down, and let Zoe poke before the team fight.

As a result, he didn't expect it to be a problem in the mid lane again!

However, he still acted as an atmosphere group, soothing everyone's mentality: "There were many unexpected situations in the previous game, and my red side BP wasn't done well. Everyone calm down, anyway, we have resurrection armor."

"It's just that, if there is another Sylas, the BP variables will be big..."

The tactical system re-determined by BLG in the playoffs is actually very simple.

That is, take an AD + hard support that is not easy to die in the bot lane.

Take a big core like Azir or Corki in the mid lane that is also not easy to die.

BLG's newly changed shooter Doggo has no other advantages, just "stable," the kind of stable that will decisively give up the minion line if he feels even a little bit of threat.

It is also because of this that EDG didn't find any opportunity in the bot lane in the first game, and of course, Viper also completed the laning advantage of flat pressure and minion counting.

And Scout, needless to say, this type of hero is his most skilled style, which is equivalent to returning to his comfort zone.

Then, pick a fierce hero for the top lane to fight hard in the early and mid-game, and let the jungler's focus be entirely on the top lane.

Just fight the top and jungle to death!

It just so happens that the changes in this version to recovery items + little dragons emphasize 1v1 laning even more. Even if you exchange resources in the lower half, it is easy to exchange for a loss, which is a perfect fit for BLG's changes.

But in the first game, due to the accident of Sylas, it was Scout who took the initiative to propose using Zoe to fight laning.

And the power of Sylas was also vividly reflected in the BP of the first game!

Not just the strength of the hero himself, but most importantly the restrictions on BP, which greatly increased the degree of game between the two sides!

If you pick first in the first round, what awaits you is likely five ultimates that are not powerful.

But if you don't pick first, it is possible to be grabbed by the opponent to counter your BP, and then wait until the second round to have the risk of being banned.

The test for players and coaching staff is not small.

Just like the Sylas in the first game, the purpose was already to suppress BP, and the ultimate was already considered a very unpowerful one.

Being able to use Zoe's ultimate to that kind of magical effect... Scout knew in his heart that even if he changed it, it was not certain that he could fully replicate those operations.

"Now we only have three choices." Steak said his understanding quickly.

"First, choose a functional mid lane, BP all attack the top lane."

"Second, ban Akali, LeBlanc, and Sylas, the three strongest early-game fighters. They should only be able to pick Akshan or Zoe. We pick Azir in the mid lane with no pressure in laning, and play according to our expected playstyle."

"But the price of this is that we don't have a ban position to target the top lane, and it is very likely that we won't be able to attack the top lane."

"Third... we grab Sylas, ban Zoe for the mid lane, and use the remaining BP to turn to attack the top lane." Steak lowered his head and looked at Scout: "I remember Sylas fighting Akali and LeBlanc, they should both have advantages, right?"

Scout didn't make a sound, nodding silently.

Sylas as a version hero, Scout naturally also practiced, but the proficiency was still far from his other skilled heroes.

This was also the reason why BLG accidentally picked EDG in the first game.

In everyone's thinking, even if Ye Bo also practiced Sylas, he had only practiced for half a month at most. What kind of level could he practice to by really picking it?

At least it definitely didn't have the significance of being on the ban list.

But the performance of the previous game had already proven to everyone that they were wrong.

Ye Bo's speed of practicing heroes exceeded their imagination, and it was even to the point where Scout was trembling with fear and didn't dare to think too deeply!

Afraid of affecting his self-confidence.

Scout, through his peripheral vision, caught a glimpse of his teammates and coach looking at each other, obviously noticing the "worried" eyes.

This made him even more ashamed and unhappy.

He considered himself, actually his laning in the previous game was still okay.

In the early stage, Zoe was pressing Sylas throughout. If it weren't for Sylas going to the top lane to do things, it would be the level of being hit out of TP at level 3!

At level 6, it could also be said that Amumu came to help suppress the position.

In the final analysis, the real reason for the collapse was wanting to go pick up the flash after returning to the city, and the chain of deaths made it completely collapse, and everything after that was an unavoidable chain reaction!

Then without these accidents, wouldn't I have succeeded!?

Scout had no slight contempt for Ye Bo, he naturally knew that the opponent's laning hard power was extremely terrifying... But he really felt that he wasn't bad either!

"Don't look, just pick Sylas, this is the best strategy." He added calmly.

"I play Azir and will also give him a chance to roam. If I can't attack the top lane, there is no tactics to speak of. I have played Sylas a lot recently, and there is no problem fighting the few heroes he has left."

"As for functional, then you might as well let FoFo play."

Although the last sentence was obviously angry, it really moved Steak's heart.

FoFo's functional hero play is really better than his.

However, according to the work meeting of BLG's training group before the match, the BP difficulty of this Bo5 was already hell-level.

None of the people present were novices, and they knew deeply that as

"Then let the junior handle it himself," Chashao finally made the decision, "Everyone play well in the next game. It's a rare opportunity for the blue side, we must cherish it."

If they fell behind zero to two, BLG would be no different from having one foot on the edge of a cliff.

"Think about how we won the previous three best-of-fives; our level won't be worse than theirs!" Chashao gave a pep talk.

"They have designs, we also have preparations!"

Hearing the coach's encouragement, all the members nodded in unison.

Bin reached out to adjust his trajectory, pursed his lips, and took a few deep breaths, adjusting from the gloom of being outplayed in the last wave on the field.

Fortunately, that wave was already a harmless one, and there was still an equipment gap between the two sides.

He could comfort himself that it was all because of the equipment gap, not because of his play, so the blow wasn't too big.

They received the notification from the referee to start the BP.

After the members of both sides signaled that there were no errors, the crisp, powerful sound immediately echoed in their ears!

"In the second game, BLG chooses the blue side and bans Zoe first!" Guan Zeyuan clapped his hands and spoke, clashing with the chatter at the commentary desk.

"As expected, it feels like Sylas will become a new BP idea for both sides. This hero currently looks like he can fight against any hero. With strong skill mechanics and burst, as long as the skill hit rate is a bit higher, there are completely opportunities to make plays!"

Wang Duoduo followed up: "EDG doesn't seem to have any intention of banning Sylas, they are still sending Gwen to the ban list!"

"This is also very similar to what we guessed. Although it seems there aren't many heroes in Ye's hero pool that can easily fight Sylas, there are still some that can lane equally; this is his confidence!"

Sylas's design was destined to be a very special hero.

Strong, yet far from being so strong that he couldn't be dealt with.

His strength in the game was extremely dependent on his ultimate. If there was no good ultimate to steal, the hero himself was at best a standard T1 level, purely depending on the player's personal state in that game.

Hitting one more E, missing one more E, could all potentially greatly affect the laning phase.

So even if BLG was on the red side and couldn't pick him first, as long as they didn't care about being "BP restricted," they wouldn't ban him either.

However, BLG's BP in this game was very intriguing.

First round of bans for both sides—

BLG: Zoe, Kennen, Ornn

EDG: Gwen, Kalista, Galio

"EDG's last ban is sending Galio to the ban list! This should be a choice made after seeing the opponent targeting the top lane with the last two picks!" Guan Zeyuan interpreted.

"BLG really picked Sylas first! The junior is also very confident in this game; he wants to win back the ground he lost with his own hands!"

"EDG counter-picked with the Aphelios-Renata combination; it seems they don't really care about Sylas stealing the ultimate."

Although the opponent picked Sylas, theoretically, Renata's ultimate was definitely a "good ultimate."

Ye Bo's understanding was that it was indeed necessary to avoid picking heroes with powerful ultimates as much as possible.

But there was no need to deliberately weaken their own team composition just to guard against Sylas stealing the ultimate; perhaps that would be counterproductive.

Everyone unanimously agreed with this point of view.

"BLG picks the strong Renekton-Sejuani combination in the second and third spots! It's another team composition where the top, mid, and jungle are all tough guys!"

EDG's third pick hesitated slightly.

It wasn't hard to see that the opponent's first three picks were definitely intended to target the top lane. If they waited until the second round of BP, the top lane hero pool would definitely be reduced again.

The remaining version heroes for top lane that weren't so afraid of "tower dives" and weren't easy to "get caught" were actually just Gnar and Gragas.

What else was left?

Gangplank, Jax, Kayle, Fiora, Jayce, Camille.

Either they were extremely hard to play against Renekton, or they would be tower-dived every other minute!

Similarly, if the top lane was picked in the third spot, with Sylas already having some restraint, the mid-lane hero pick would definitely be affected.

"How about giving it to Ye Bo first..." Brother Shengqiang Ge habitually offered.

"Pick for the top lane, they shouldn't ban those heroes of mine, I can fight," but Ye Bo patted his chest confidently.

"Then let's get Gnar for Xuanjun, it feels better than Gragas," Maokai didn't struggle either. Considering Sylas's existence, he felt Gnar would be better than Gragas.

Entering the second round of BP—

BLG: LeBlanc, Syndra

EDG: Sivir, Tahm Kench

"Ah, this... now it seems the few remaining heroes in the mid lane that can lane equally against Sylas have all been banned," Guan Zeyuan counted on his fingers.

"Akshan is too squishy and his E skill isn't an instant displacement, making it hard to dodge E. Yone and Pyke are weak in the early laning phase and their ultimates are very powerful. Akali is even more of a common first-pick counter choice we see..."

"Hey, are they picking it directly! Akali!"

Seeing this, Wang Duoduo's voice suddenly became high-pitched: "No matter what hero counters what! If you dare to leave her open, he dares to pick her!"

Akali's ultimate was undoubtedly very strong, with two stages of displacement, plus high damage, and she could perfectly utilize Sylas's AP scaling.

Laning and trading health wasn't hard to do either. As long as Akali appeared from the Twilight Shroud, Sylas's W would definitely be able to be pulled out; if he got hit twice, there would be no fighting back.

Of course, both of these heroes belonged to the absolute "skill-based heroes," and there was no such thing as a 100% counter, just the difference between advantages and disadvantages.

BLG's bottom lane still carried out their own ideas.

If Sivir was banned, they picked Ezreal, and the support still emphasized the roaming Nautilus.

And because the opponent's front-line defense was too solid, Jie Jie subsequently chose to bring out the Viego + Akali "Assassination and Possession" mid-jungle combination he had used before.

The team compositions for both sides were confirmed.

《Blue Side: BLG || Red Side: EDG》

【Top: Renekton vs Gnar】

【Jungle: Sejuani vs Viego】

【Mid: Sylas vs Akali】

【ADC: Ezreal vs Aphelios】

【Support: Nautilus vs Renata Glasc】

"Looking at the team composition, EDG's composition has more room for imagination, but in fact, the room for imagination is just the combination of a few ultimates... Sylas can steal them!"

"On the other hand, BLG's top, mid, and jungle have extremely outstanding early-game fighting ability, and they deliberately left the Aphelios-Renata combination for you. It feels like it's because this combination is hard to gain an advantage in the early game, and the roaming of a soft support cannot be compared to a hard support; they want to fight hard in the top half of the map!"

"BLG has made a BP counter-attack on the blue side, let's look forward to this duel between the two sides!"

The commentary desk was still analyzing the team composition, and Summoner's Rift had already appeared on the big screen.

Signal marking sounds followed one after another, and the ten people quickly stepped out of the base.

BLG headed straight for the top jungle area as soon as they left the base, clearly intending to imitate EDG's choice from the previous game, invading the top jungle to force a swap of the starting jungle half.

The commentary desk discovered this clue immediately.

"In terms of level 1 team fights, they are a bit stronger than EDG," Wang Duoduo judged calmly: "Akali and Aphelios are both too weak at level 1, and it's hard for Viego to have a chance to get his first transformation. This level 1 fight probably can't be fought!"

"Jie Jie here also left a ward in the red zone and went directly to the bottom half of the map; it should be a swap of the starting jungle half, just like the last game."

EDG of course knew the advantages and disadvantages of both team compositions and didn't choose to fight hard against the opponent, decisively giving up the jungle area.

However, it was very clear.

BLG's level 1 design wasn't that simple; it wasn't just to get priority for a starting jungle half.

Brother Shengqiang Ge's Gnar placed a ward in the tri-bush.

Then he stood honestly under the tower, waiting for the minion wave to arrive, and went to the lane together.

1 minute and 30 seconds, minions arrived in the lane.

Renekton knew that Gnar wouldn't dare to place a ward in the bush at level 1, so he directly occupied the first bush in the lane, highlighting an arrogant aura.

Gnar stood below the minion wave, far away from the bush, only preparing to Q the minions to farm.

The three melee minions were about to die.

Gnar stepped forward, aiming at the minion wave, and threw his boomerang normally.

But the Renekton in the bush suddenly drilled out with a 【Slice】, grazing the ranged minions while consecutively 【Dice】-ing with a double E, crashing right into Gnar's face!

Normally, Renekton using a double E like this at level 1 to get close, although he could get close, wouldn't be able to win the health trade and would be chased and kited by Gnar.

Brother Shengqiang Ge thought so too, thinking the opponent was just desperate to consume his health.

But, just at this moment.

In the vision he placed above the tri-bush, he clearly saw—Nautilus's figure!

Nautilus, the support, actually didn't leave!

If Gnar wanted to place a ward, it could only be in the tri-bush, and Nautilus, taking advantage of the vision advantage they had seized from the level 1 invasion, detoured from the Krugs' position when the minions arrived in the lane.

Just waiting for the moment Gnar came to last-hit or gain experience.

Liu Qingsong steadily hit Gnar with a hook, followed by an auto-attack for a two-hit crowd control, with {Glacial Augment} continuously slowing him down.

Although Renekton only used his E skill for displacement, the damage from the two of them continuously chasing and auto-attacking still took away a lot of Gnar's health!

"BLG's level 1 design! Their desire to attack the top lane is simply unimaginably surging! It started from level 1!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly.

"Look at Sejuani's position, this feels like BLG's heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Both mid-laners have Ignite, Viego is in the bottom half of the map, this wave feels like Brother Shengqiang Ge is already very dangerous!"

Without Guan Zeyuan saying it, Brother Shengqiang Ge himself felt something was wrong.

Nautilus coming like this was actually just to annoy Gnar; the two of them couldn't possibly kill him at level 1 no matter what.

But it was very clear.

It wasn't just two people.

Behind, Sejuani, who had long since used Smite to kill the raptors, had already walked out—

That's right, it was F6!

Starting a buff alone took at least 12 seconds longer than starting F6 alone, so it would be impossible to catch up to the speed of the second minion wave arriving at 1 minute and 55 seconds.

And Sejuani, who arrived early, successfully blocked the second minion wave outside the tower.

Blocking Gnar's space to retreat!

This resulted in the first wave having only three ranged minions, which Renekton could easily and quickly push.

"Brother Shengqiang Ge is recalling inside the tower! Can he make it back!?"

Ye Bo quickly switched screens to identify the situation, and even though he was only level 1, he immediately retreated, wanting to go top to support.

But Scout naturally couldn't let him have his way.

Sylas fighting Akali at level 1 was meant to E into her face to trade health. Seeing the opponent retreat and having the intention to move, he directly EE'd over the minion wave and threw out his chains.

Because Akali had actively pulled away, there were no minions to block, and she had no room to maneuver, so she got hit by the E.

Ye Bo had no choice but to give up supporting, turned around to Q-A and counter-chased, forcing a health trade and going even with Sylas.

"Jie Jie, go bottom! Detour a bit!"

Ye Bo quickly guessed what the opponent wanted to do.

While feeling shocked inside, he immediately gave counter-attack commands, quickly marking signals on the map.

The tower dive in the top lane had already begun.

Although Gnar had shrunk back to the tower to recall after being reminded, it was clear that the opponent wouldn't let him go back.

Sejuani went directly into the tower, tanking the tower damage, and threw out her W ice chains to interrupt.

Relying on the 20 points of dual resistance provided by her passive "Pig Skin" that could last for 3 seconds, two tower shots only took away 320 health, and she was still above half health.

Not to mention Gnar couldn't possibly have the ability to counter-kill.

Nautilus had retreated after one hit, didn't go to help Renekton push the lane, but directly retreated to join Sejuani.

This was so as not to share Renekton's {experience}.

At the same time, Sejuani had already beaten the first melee minion to low health.

As long as Renekton walked into the tower, that experience bar, which was only a sliver away, would immediately reach level 2!

And because Renekton's previous two-stage E had grazed the minions and Gnar, after auto-attacking the ranged minions to death.

This would also be a level 2 Renekton with Red Fury.

Three ranged minions were brought into the tower.

Nautilus started tanking the tower, then walked directly to the edge of the defense tower, while Renekton stepped up to face-check and hit an empowered W Red Fury, instantly triggering the stun passive for Sejuani, and then followed up with freezing damage!

The little Gnar, who was still level 1, had no power to resist at all!

First blood was taken by Renekton, and Nautilus also walked out of the tower safely.

"Nice!" Weiwei shouted excitedly: "Bin, you eat the lane yourself, I'm going to level up!"

"Doggo, be careful, I'm in B!" Liu Qingsong had already pressed recall to rush over.

"Yeah, I'll run as soon as I show my head," Doggo replied very steadily.

BLG's design wasn't complicated, but it was very clever in terms of timing.

Because there was no awareness in the early game, Ezreal even had a chance to eat the front-row melee minions. Even if EDG's bottom lane realized late and wanted to drive him out of the experience zone, they couldn't stop the opponent from reaching level 2.

{Reaching level 2 only requires 5 melee minions}

More importantly, Ezreal left a ward in the tri-bush when he went to the lane, ready to "abandon the tower and run" at any time.

The worst result of this wave was Viego going to the bottom lane to tower dive; the timing would be exactly when the top lane finished the tower dive, and Viego just arrived at the tri-bush, he would be detected by the vision.

Then Nautilus would cancel the 8-second recall, not letting Gnar use TP, or directly dive the tower a second time.

Come on, let's blow each other up!

The so-called "blowing each other up" was actually just Ezreal losing minion waves, not dying.

But if Gnar really had to be killed again after TP-ing, it would be a total disaster.

After Gnar respawned, he indeed didn't dare to TP immediately—because Renekton, who had gained the kill experience, was clearly about to reach level 3.

Gnar only dared to wait until the minion wave under the tower was almost gone before daring to use TP; he barely grazed the experience of one or two ranged minions after landing, but it still wasn't enough to reach level 2!

Sejuani was already killing the Krugs, and after turning to finish the Red buff, she would be able to reach level 3.

In BLG's design expectations.

This Viego could only come to the top lane immediately.

Then, what would be the consequence if Viego came to the top lane?

Viego's top jungle area would only have one jungle monster left, his jungle rhythm would be terrible, leading to his development in the jungle also falling into a disadvantage.

Leading to this top-jungle 2v2 situation, which was already hard to fight, completely losing its balance!

Sejuani and Renekton could ride on their faces and play!

And even if it could be seen at a glance, it was almost unsolvable; it was almost the "swapped version" of the 3-dive-1 that TES liked the most!

The most important thing was the ward BLG's bottom lane left in the tri-bush to detect Viego.

Doggo saw it was safe, so he waited peacefully under the tower for the minion wave to come in.

Anyway, the two of them were just a double level 2, and it was a combination like Aphelios-Renata that lacked early-game damage.

Ezreal held {Barrier} in his hand, eating the lane alone, and would soon reach level 3.

A 2-dive-1 could at least trade for one!

Ye Bo understood this design—because he had also thought of a similar design, just a bit more "bizarre" than this one, but the principle was the same.

So.

He had Jie Jie detour!

The opponent's five people invaded the top jungle area directly at level 1; the entire bottom half of the map must be pitch black, and there couldn't be any defensive information.

Viego detouring from the enemy jungle needed to spend about ten seconds more, but it was still early before the third minion wave that could reach level 3 arrived.

Both sides were stuck at level 2.

Ten seconds early, ten seconds late, it made no difference.

"Jie Jie snuck over! Ezreal didn't discover him, and wasn't prepared to run! Then EDG's bottom lane should also have a chance to dive the tower this wave!"

Guan Zeyuan pushed his nose in surprise, seeing the intention clearly from the god's-eye view.

"Jie Jie is so spiritual this wave!! It's like he saw through the opponent's bottom lane's preparation and then instantly made a counter-measure!"

"If Viego walked through the tri-bush, even if Ezreal didn't run, Nautilus would cancel the recall, then Gnar wouldn't even be able to eat those few minions, and might even be stuck at level 1!"

This time, it was Rita who observed a strange detail: "That's not right, I just saw signals on the mini-map marking the jungle route. If it were Jie Jie himself, he probably wouldn't mark it like that, right?"

Wang Duoduo focused his attention on the battlefield: "Viego arrived under the tower! Ezreal has nowhere to run, he can only try to fight to the death!"

This detour caught BLG off guard.

Nautilus had already recalled, but he definitely couldn't make it in time.

No one would have thought that Viego, at such a critical moment of choice, would actually spend extra time to detour!

Doggo tried his best to make a play, but when facing 3 people, there wasn't much room for play anymore.

Viego started charging his W steadily at close range, Renata followed up with control, Aphelios hit with double Q and double guns; just stacking the damage was enough to kill the level 2 Ezreal.

Although Ezreal used Barrier to drag it out, he died together with Viego with the help of the defense tower... but there was Renata!

2-dive-1, when the damage wasn't enough, Renata's 【Bailout】 was completely useless.

But diving with more people, this thing was a god-tier tower-diving skill!

"They completed the kill without any danger! EDG quickly won back the ground in the bottom lane, it's very critical!" Wang Duoduo shouted excitedly.

"This is a wave of swapping top and bottom, the bottom lane can even eat the unprotected plating, and the economy is even a small profit!"

But Guan Zeyuan saw the opponent's intention: "But actually Gnar is hurt a lot... the bottom lane is two people going to the lane together, Viego is already at very low health, EDG can't stop these two people from going to the lane."

"On the other hand, the Renekton-Sejuani in the top lane are both at full health. Although Gnar successfully TP'd and could reach level 2, Sejuani is already killing the Red buff and is ready to reach level 3, so Gnar might still not be able to stay under the tower!"

"The mid lane is also being watched very closely, Akali can't be freed, and Gnar's next wave under the tower is still in jeopardy!"

Renekton controlled the minion wave slightly, not letting the wave enter the tower.

The level 2 Gnar was pressed so hard that he was in a dilemma, and he couldn't even gain experience from a distance.

All top-lane players knew that at this time, if no one could come to help break the lane, they could only hang up and start taking out their phones.

And Viego had just finished the kill and started to recall, and he was only level 2.

"Weiwei, come as soon as you finish, I've pulled his lane to death, he definitely won't be able to reach level 3," Bin said confidently.

"Yeah, keep an eye on the mid lane, if this wave is watched, no one can save him!" Weiwei responded immediately.

"He can't leave," Scout gave a cold answer, also full of confidence.

Sejuani was already killing the Red buff; at most 20 seconds later, when the minion wave pushed in, it would be another strong tower dive with both at level 3.

But Sylas in the mid lane was watching very closely, always forcing his way up to trade health, not giving Akali any chance to move.

If she tried to roam forcibly, she would only be surrounded in the jungle by Sylas together with Sejuani!

Not only would she not be able to save the top-laner, but Akali herself would also be blown up.

Although he spiritually parried the opponent's level 1 design, helping his side avoid the situation where the top and jungle would both collapse, it could be said that he cracked BLG's core purpose, at least preserving the jungler's development.

But this second wave of offensive in the top lane seemed unsolvable.

Ye Bo narrowed his eyes, while trading health meticulously by playing the distance of the Q skill, and thinking calmly.

He was looking for a way to break the situation!
