Chapter 99

Because of the changes in the jungle, the risk of the top lane being mindlessly forced-dove no longer existed.

Sejuani had no way of knowing Viego's tracks; if she dove the tower and was counter-ganked, she would definitely explode, and all three lanes had returned to the normal laning rhythm.

Chen Zebin had also discovered that something was wrong with Ye Bo, and didn't dare to be too aggressive in trading anymore.

All three lanes entered a period of development.

For EDG, this was undoubtedly quite acceptable; anyway, their composition had no offensive pressure, and the Aphelios, who had a super-fat start in the bottom lane, was slowly laning, with his advantage constantly expanding, and he would definitely become a headache for the opponent by the mid-game.

BLG's decision to completely sacrifice the bottom lane to attack the top lane had undoubtedly achieved results in the early game.

If it had developed according to the normal design, blowing up the top lane directly, that bit of advantage in the bottom lane wouldn't be able to stand out in the mid-game—because Renekton would be a more terrifying existence in the mid-game!

But now, the top lane couldn't force a breakthrough, and the whole team would inevitably fall into a passive rhythm.

5 minutes, the solo lanes were about to reach level six.

"BLG's top and jungle are together again, it feels like they still want to move on the top lane!"

Weiwei came to the bush behind the top lane again to crouch, wanting to make a move on Akali.

Now every lane actually had the risk of being counter-ganked, but relatively speaking, the 2v2 in the top lane was the least afraid of being counter-ganked.

Although Akali is strong in 1v1, if they played 2v2, the pair of double assassins, Akali and Viego, would still have a hard time fighting against the two big bodies of Renekton and Sejuani.

"If Viego is there, kill him first, I'll Flash W," Bin commanded.

"Hmm, I feel like he should be there," Weiwei guessed.

Come to think of it, Barrier did indeed want to come to the top, because he also thought the opponent might go all the way to the end on one lane.

But Ye Bo had other ideas.

He didn't think the opponent's top and jungle had a chance to kill him, and coming to the top lane for a disadvantageous 2v2 didn't make much sense, as it was still following the opponent's rhythm.

Better to turn to attack their own advantageous lane.

In order to buy time for his teammates, Ye Bo didn't show a very cowardly laning style.

On the contrary, his trading was quite aggressive, he didn't save skills, and his desire to trade was also very strong, almost writing "I have someone behind me!" on his nostrils.

This was also why the opponent felt the jungler was there.

"Anyway, I have to wait for your CD, I'll trade a wave of health to bait a Shroud, it's easy to kill without Shroud, he doesn't have Flash!"

Chen Zebin, after a short period of laning, felt he had roughly figured out the opponent's laning thinking.

He believed that the opponent was also someone who liked to play "extreme laning," and it was hard to resist making a move when there was a possibility of gaining health, and the previous few times had indeed proven true.

This three-minute laning wasn't a waste; he had been "preparing" for this wave all along.

Renekton left a position for Akali to throw Five Point Strike, while directly E-ing up to spin out a red fury Q, forcing a trade of health for health—just like the previous few waves.

The difference was, this time Renekton's white W was held in his hand!

As if wanting to bet on Akali reacting half a beat slower, to see if he could land the W upon landing.

And Ye Bo, seeing Renekton's blade turn red, reacted extremely quickly and pressed Shroud, not giving the opponent this chance.

Everything looked as normal as could be.

Chen Zebin already felt the fish had taken the bait; the moment the Shroud appeared, he immediately slapped his white W onto a minion.

Afterward, Akali naturally chased and landed two QAs, beating Renekton until he fled, running far away to get away from the range of the Shroud, appearing very fearful.

Although Ye Bo was vigilant, he still didn't think there was any danger.

Because this wave was Renekton's normal game operation, it was just changing from putting W after to bait the Shroud position to putting W first to bait the reaction, and it looked a bit stupid when it didn't land.

Not to mention that both sides had no skills at this moment, even if someone was really crouching, it wasn't the time to be on guard.

Just...

Ye Bo suddenly noticed at this moment that the smoke of the Shroud seemed to be "drifting."

This made his pupils flash.

"How could they be crouching here..."

"Barrier, their jungler is at the top, go for the dragon."

Ye Bo gave the command in a certain tone.

The top lane was evenly matched, and Ye Bo had only placed a protective ward in the tri-bush; the river and the three lane bushes were all unknown.

But Ye Bo was now very certain—Sejuani was crouching in the second bush of the top lane!

Theoretically, the minion wave in the top lane stood right in the middle, and the vision around the bush could be obtained, so there was no reason for Sejuani to be able to touch this position.

So a normal person wouldn't guard against this bush, only against the bush in the back.

And Ye Bo, after a little reasoning, it wasn't hard to guess.

Weiwei must have specifically circled from the third bush to sneak into the "toilet pit," and then from the toilet pit, used his Q skill to dash into the second bush!

Sejuani's level one Q skill has a very long cooldown.

This wave could definitely be called unexpected!

This was also why Renekton could boldly sell his skills like this, because he also had to wait for Sejuani's skill cooldown.

And in fact, Renekton's trading was also full of schemes.

Renekton's W and Akali's W both {only start calculating CD when the skill effect disappears}.

Therefore, after seeing Akali activate Shroud, Renekton instantly slapped out his W.

In this way, Renekton's W would enter CD 5 seconds earlier than Akali's W.

Added to the 4-second CD difference that already existed in the skill itself, it meant that after 16 seconds, Shroud and Ruthless Predator would have a full 9-second CD difference!

Renekton and Sejuani would definitely be able to easily kill an Akali without Shroud and without Flash!

BLG's top and jungle thought their design for this wave was seamless.

But little did they know.

It had already been exposed unknowingly.

Originating from Akali's {Shroud target-seeking} mechanism!

This is also a {hidden mechanism} that was not written in the skill description.

Namely: Shroud is not a fixed position, but will {drift slightly toward the direction of the nearest enemy}.

Just now, Renekton avoided taking too much damage and didn't kite but retreated directly, which led to Sejuani at the edge of the bush becoming the target "sought" by the Shroud.

The Shroud suddenly changed its drifting direction!

Of course, even without this mechanism, Ye Bo would likely not have taken the bait this wave.

Chen Zebin's judgment wasn't entirely correct.

Ye Bo was indeed someone who liked to play extreme laning, but unless he was sure he could 1v2, he wouldn't do things like "I bet your jungler isn't there."

On the contrary.

Top laners with styles like Bin and TheShy really, really often do this kind of thing, betting to suppress people and gain an advantage...

So even if Ye Bo didn't know Sejuani's location, he could guess that Sejuani definitely wanted to mess with him, and likely wouldn't give an aggressive positioning.

It was just that the information captured at this moment.

Made a new idea suddenly arise in Ye Bo's mind.

"Barrier! How many seconds on Sejuani's Q! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Barrier was stunned when he heard this inexplicable question.

But as the team's designated soul hero for EDG, two incredibly certain voices came almost simultaneously: "Nineteen! Nineteen seconds!"

Ye Bo quickly pressed the Tab key to check Sejuani's head panel, frantically calculating something.

"Level five Sejuani, boots and ruby crystal cloth armor, Yu Zhen..."

"Since Renekton can reach level six with me, it means Sejuani must have just arrived with this wave of minions..."

"19 seconds, 16 seconds..."

Ye Bo's eyes brightened, and his hands had already started driving Akali to move quietly.

Toward the direction of the second bush.

Akali looked like she just wanted to last-hit, but when the kama in her hand was raised to swing at the minions—a reverse Shuriken Flip suddenly reflected toward the bush!

The expected {Passive} energy circle appeared.

Weiwei was shocked by the sudden Shuriken Flip!

"How could he know I'm here? There's no way there's vision in this position!"

Unless Ye Bo was imitating the reverse Q of the Tang Sect mid laner.

Otherwise, the action of this wave couldn't be more obvious; it was clear that he was incredibly certain that Sejuani was in the bush, which was why he could turn his back to the minion wave and suddenly use the skill like this!

"It's okay, come over and let's go together, I'll block for you, Viego!"

BLG's top and jungle pair only thought Viego had come, and wanted to play a 2v2 this wave.

Akali didn't rush after landing the Shuriken Flip, just stood on the spot waiting.

He was waiting for the "pig skin" to fall off.

2.5 seconds later, Akali leaped to chase the Shuriken Flip mark, landing a kick just as the pig skin fell off, dealing full damage!

{Hextech Alternator} emitted a sizzling sound.

After landing the Shuriken Flip, she auto-attacked and immediately followed with R {Perfect Execution} to flip behind, picking up the second passive mark!

Relying on the displacement distance of R1 and the passive speed boost, Akali easily kited, making it difficult for the two opponents who had no skills to even touch her sleeves.

Until this moment, there was still no sign of Viego.

"It seems it's just him alone!"

BLG was shocked.

What was even more panicked was discovering how fast Sejuani's health bar was dropping.

Although Akali's equipment was good, Sejuani's health seemed to be dropping faster than common sense.

The reason was very simple.

Sejuani had no Q; the most critical thing wasn't the lack of a displacement... but the lack of the ability to instantly trigger {Yu Zhen}!

Sejuani usually feels very tanky, besides building tank items, it's more because of the double resistance stacking of Aftershock + passive frost armor.

But dragging the pig skin away, and then making Yu Zhen unable to trigger.

Sejuani at this moment wasn't much tankier than Viego, at most tanky to the extent of a ruby crystal.

This was completely useless in front of Akali!

Renekton had already used all his skills to bait the Shroud, while Akali had only used the Shroud to continuously QAQA.

This was actually one of the expressions of Ye Bo always guarding against ganks; when Sejuani's location wasn't certain, his W and E wouldn't be used at the same time.

And Renekton had no W at this time, unable to help Sejuani quickly stack the freeze layers, and without E, he couldn't even touch Akali, who had wind under her feet!

Not to mention, it was really simple for Akali to kill this "almost naked" pig.

EEAQRAQR, done in one go!

The pig didn't even have room to Flash, and had no skills to dodge!

The last reverse flash R stab chopped off the pig's head, and also sent Akali thousands of miles away.

Renekton's W and E still had 5 seconds until this moment.

He didn't even have a chance to Flash to chase, and could only rage impotently on the spot.

"Holy crap, Master Ye! How did you 1v2!"

"Ah, asking for CD, so it turns out you wanted to solo kill..."

"Invincible Akali King!!"

"Nice! Shengqiang-ge, I'll come to gank mid later, it's fine if he steals your ult, I have Flash!"

The excited voices in the team voice chat were endless.

The commentary desk witnessed everything happening in a daze.

"What's going on!?"

"No, he dared to go up like this!? A 1v2 so openly!?"

"The main thing is that the timing is too exquisite. Akali only loses a little survivability without Shroud, but Renekton has no combat power at all without W and E. The two of them in the top jungle are like broken legs this wave!"

"It's just very strange why Player Ye would know Sejuani was in that bush, how could he dare to conclude that the opponent had no skills? This is simply like having a third eye!"

Ye Bo's various information-gap inferences naturally couldn't be seen from the OB perspective.

This wave looked simply like magic.

【? When I type this question mark, it's not to prove I have a problem, but to say you have a problem!】

【Your mom, you really hacked, right! This isn't wallhack, I don't care what you say, how is this possible!】

【A little wallhack doesn't count as hacking! A little wallhack doesn't count as hacking!】

【Actually, the pig the opponent is riding ran out of the EDG base. If you call '777777' seven times at him, maybe he'll even talk back to you!】

【What is Bin-ge doing? Why is he always being toyed with by my Akali King? I suggest re-apprenticing!】

【Want to play top-jungle? I'll kill your jungler right in front of you! Kill the helper first!】

Chen Zebin's whole face was almost turning into a tomato, which Uzi in the secondary broadcast room found very intimate.

Whether he admits it or not.

He was indeed toyed with by Ye Bo in this match!

The first wave could still be called an equipment problem, or even a hero problem; Akali is meant for kiting, and by comparison, Renekton is indeed a bit clumsy.

A little kiting doesn't seem to prove much.

But this wave, the operation was actually already considered "basic operation."

He couldn't understand how the opponent knew there was someone in that bush, and even if he knew there was someone, how did he dare to go up?

The key is, the facts proved that he could indeed go up.

They originally thought it was their design that caught the timing.

As a result, it was Renekton and Sejuani who were caught in their most fragile weak point period.

The wail of the dragon came, making the morale of all BLG members even lower.

This top-jungle was their only power-up point in the composition!

Akali's ultimate CD isn't long; 120 seconds will definitely be ready before the eight-minute Rift Herald team fight.

And, the chain reaction of wave after wave had already been forged.

The result of BLG's all-in attack on the top lane in the early game had already begun to pay the price.

"Rift Herald refreshed, but BLG doesn't seem prepared to take it... Are they not taking the Rift Herald with this composition!?" Wang Duoduo questioned the opponent's decision.

"No way, Teacher Duoduo, take a look at BLG's bottom lane. If this team fight breaks out, it's completely equivalent to being two people short!" Guan Zeyuan probably guessed the reason.

Due to the support's level one roaming, BLG's bottom lane was inevitably at a huge disadvantage in laning, not to mention the laning strength itself.

And in a normal game at 8 minutes, the bottom lane would only have one person who could reach level six by eating half a wave of minions alone.

But because Ezreal was dove and Nautilus lost minions at level one, plus being forced back home frequently in laning.

The price was that at eight minutes, both of them were still a long way from level six!

Looking at EDG's bottom lane, because of the kill experience and the plating economy from pushing four, both of them not only reached level six, but their equipment was also ridiculously good!

3 level sixes versus 5 level sixes, and their side hadn't successfully raised a big daddy.

This naturally couldn't be fought, and they could only let their own bottom lane steal some economy to develop.

Chashao in the backstage next door showed a bitter face and shook his head helplessly.

In BLG's original plan, the opponent's top laner should also be level five, and relying on Renekton's huge advantage to fight this Rift Herald team fight was definitely a sure thing.

But all of this... was completely twisted by the appearance of Akali!

The solo kill in the mid lane saved the top and jungle.

Swapping lanes to the top, a wave of command coordination won back jungle control, and then another solo kill collapsed the opponent's jungler's development.

Herald taken.

EDG's mid and top also swapped their lanes back.

Although Gnar's development was still far from the 1-0 Renekton, he had been stealing development in the mid lane for a while, at least it wasn't easy for two people to force a tower dive, and that was enough.

Although Ye Bo had a significant advantage, it was still difficult to kill Renekton.

Chen Zebin's operation didn't have many flaws; as long as he didn't think about kiting with him, it was hard to find opportunities in normal trades.

The top lane was relatively far from the main battlefield, and it wasn't easy to lead the rhythm.

So, Ye Bo swapped back to find someone who was easy to lead the rhythm with.

"Hiss, why does it feel like Sylas laning against Akali isn't that easy either?" Wang Duoduo looked at the matchup in the mid lane that had started to tilt one-sidedly again, feeling a bit confused.

Guan Zeyuan pretended to have amnesia, changing his statement from the BP: "I can only say that there shouldn't be an absolute counter between these two heroes; it still depends more on the individual player, but I have to say, Player Ye's Akali is still too..."

"Hey! Player Ye's Akali is too fierce, is this an attempt to dive the tower!?"

Akali's equipment was much better than Sylas's; one QAQ Electrocute in a trade could take away one-third of Sylas's health, and there was simply no meaning in playing the game anymore.

Akali brought the wave to the tower and didn't leave, clearly looking like she wanted to dive the tower!

"Save me, save me, save me! He's going to dive!" Scout shouted to Sejuani, who wasn't far away.

Sylas countered by stealing Akali's ultimate, thinking rapidly about how to respond with an explosive desire to survive.

Scout also considered himself to understand Akali, knowing that this hero's tower dive operation must use "RE"; one is that it has a high probability of hitting E, and the other is that it can fly out of the tower immediately.

So the way to operate is naturally how to dodge E!

As long as he can dodge the most critical tracking E, Akali's equipment is good, but not enough to kill him with one R.

Scout thought of a method.

Akali didn't start with R directly—this was to prevent giving Sylas a "face-to-face fly" to dodge.

Ye Bo paced to the front of the defensive tower, because the opponent couldn't dare to stay away from the defensive tower, and adjusted his position at close range with ease, before Akali suddenly leaped!

Scout held his breath, seeing the opponent jump, and quickly aimed at the opponent and pressed RRRRR!

He wanted to "fly together"!

But Akali instantly leaped over the defensive tower and crossed over Sylas's head at the same time, and then the stolen man's phantom, which had turned into the Akali assassin, imitated the use of {Perfect Execution}.

Sylas followed Akali's trajectory and flew out of the ultimate...

But Scout's purpose was still achieved,

because it was a very fast reaction to start, and the position where Sylas landed would be "behind" Akali.

In this way, even if Ye Bo could react and change the aiming direction of the landing E, he could only use the E that retreated toward the tower.

This would make it impossible to leave the range of the defensive tower, and could also allow Sylas and Akali to separate immediately, waiting for Sejuani's rescue.

But only seeing Ye Bo use it, it was still the forward E that exited the tower.

And this "forward E"—still hit Sylas, who was "behind," with a shadowless style!

"Back-facing Shuriken Flip"!

Hitting the target behind with a backward Shuriken Flip posture!

Scout only knew that Akali's tower dive combo was RE, but didn't know that even if it was RE, there were many ways to cast it, and even different starting positions would change the casting effect.

Akali landed outside the tower and landed an AQ, then waited quietly on the spot outside the tower, letting Sylas flee for 2.5 seconds.

{Because the R skill has a 2.5-second casting interval, R2 cannot be used immediately}

1.5 seconds later, Akali triggered Shuriken Flip to chase.

Before her toes landed, she turned her back and stabbed out of the tower with R!

The damage calculation was extremely precise, clean and neat!

Sejuani, who was rushing over from the jungle, had no way to hit Akali, who was sliding in the air, with her rescue ultimate, and could only watch her leave gracefully.

"Solo kill, another solo kill! Tower dive solo kill! The fourth matchup solo kill of this BO5!"

"Forget it, Sejuani came for nothing again, the jungle is going to be gone again..."

"Student..."

The sad voices of the commentary desk came out.

In the bottom right corner, Scout's camera showed his lips were a bit pale and dry, and could even be felt trembling vaguely.

The whole person looked like they had been beaten a few years older.

The match reached 12 minutes, and both mid and bottom towers had been broken.

The bottom lane duo swapped lanes to the top lane, cooperating with the Herald to push hard.

"Although the kill ratio isn't much different, the economy gap has already reached more than 3k in just over ten minutes! The mid laner alone is leading by 1500 gold, terrifying!"

"Sylas's equipment is too bad, stealing the ultimate with this equipment is at most a Renata bombardment..."

Ye Bo's equipment had already achieved a crushing victory.

He could solo kill anyone he met in a single lane, and if surrounded by two people, he might even be able to kill one and run!

Cooperating with Barrier to start invading the jungle, the snowball got bigger and bigger, and BLG's jungle vision was simply pitch black!

Sylas's first completed item chose {Crown of the Shattered Queen}.

And Akali's second completed item chose {Mejai's Soulstealer}.

In fact, besides the top and jungle pair who had combat power, the other three people in BLG had no combat power at all, especially the bottom lane.

Uzi felt heartache just looking at this bottom lane.

He just felt like he saw his former self!

Big Dog and Little Dog, originally born from the same root, the pan-fried box is too crowded!

Ezreal hadn't even stacked his Manamune at eighteen minutes... because there was no time for him to Q minions, he hadn't touched the minion wave for long at all!

The lane transition period began.

Akali and Renekton split-pushed, and only he could split-push with Renekton.

Bin understood that this team fight was already difficult, and directly bought the {Blade of the Ruined King} popular in the current version, strengthening his split-pushing ability to the extreme.

Not only that, he even directly bought {Maw of Malmortius} as his second item!

The purpose was obviously self-evident, which was to play 1v1 against Akali.

Renekton with {Blade of the Ruined King} can instantly trigger the passive three times with one W, and one AW can deal an additional 4*10%=40% of current health damage.

The burst is quite ridiculous.

Ye Bo had already tested the damage in the previous wave; one W from Renekton could take away nearly half of his health, which was indeed very painful.

21 minutes, EDG finished setting up the Baron vision.

BLG's composition didn't have the capital to drag it out, knowing the hope was slim, they could only come to fight to the death.

The only theoretical possibility for BLG might be the so-called "miracle team fight."

That is, letting Sylas steal Renata's ultimate to R five people, while the Ruined King Renekton acts as an assassin, cooperating with the jungle and support to initiate and kill the ADC.

But EDG isn't stupid either.

Renata always hid in the back, not giving you a chance to steal.

Sylas's small problem was also shown a little; in a disadvantageous game with bad equipment, he could only steal "functional ultimates."

The originally very powerful Akali R, due to bad equipment and low AP scaling, even if stolen, was just two more displacements for escaping, and didn't have much use for improving combat power.

Renekton and Sejuani walked in front, wanting to find a chance for Sylas to steal the ultimate first.

"I'm circling behind! I'm circling behind TP!" Shengqiang-ge circled behind the minion wave and clicked on the TP ward.

"Viper, you step back a bit, Renekton's damage is very high, we two can't be initiated together..." Meiko exhorted the only hero with the most threat.

"Then, I'll go kill Renekton."

Ye Bo said it lightly, as if he were talking about something very easy.

Renata injected the alchemical potion for Akali, Akali directly countered and went forward against the crowd, RW Nautilus landed in the smoke, initiating the team fight with her physical body!

"Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat!"

"If he dares to come in, I can W him, control and kill him!" Bin shouted and roared.

Although the crowd didn't have skills to reveal Akali.

But as long as Akali showed her head in the crowd, any control that hit could be followed by chain control.

The BLG crowd maintained a retreating position.

But Renekton didn't seem to realize that he was the target, and was even still helping Sejuani to break the rear.

The big Gnar in the back had already landed and pounced.

And Akali, hiding in the smoke, gripped her kama.

Immediately, Flash golden light started!

Shuriken Flip and the stab were both used, Perfect Execution seemed to want to tear the space apart, driving Akali's figure like a shadow, stabbing in an instant!

Too fast.

Just in an instant, all the damage exploded, and everyone just seemed to see a shadow flicker.

The war blade in Renekton's hand was bright red, but he was blankly unable to find the target on the spot, but his whole body was already bleeding, full of holes.

Five Point Strike was like a life-taking star, whistling out with endless killing intent.

{Flash E stack RQE ding}

Finally, when Renekton reacted to the position, the Shuriken Flip hidden by Perfect Execution was kicked out, turning into a small golden man in the air.

The kicking action was funny, the ridiculously long "Golden Kick"!

The Desert Butcher clutched his heart in disbelief, and then, fell heavily to the ground!

Instant kill!

"You're not much of a challenge..."

Akali muttered.

The whole audience was shocked!

"What did Akali do! What did he do!!!"

"Renekton was killed instantly! What about Maw of Malmortius! What is Maw of Malmortius doing!"

"Gnar TP circled behind and flashed like a Tathagata Palm! Renata followed up with Hostile Takeover!"

"Although Sylas turned his head to steal the ultimate, he couldn't R the most critical Aphelios, unable to turn the tide of the battle!"

"Viego and Akali entered to harvest! Aphelios's red and white knives are swelling forward!!!"

The only big brother fell first, and the enemy formation collapsed rapidly.

Naturally, this also destined the final outcome of this match.

EDG played a perfect team fight, and then all five people pressed toward the crystal, ending the match cleanly and neatly!
