Chapter 39

The situation was being held up by SKT!

Looking at all lanes' last hits, except for the jungle position having a relatively large gap, the other three lanes are roughly even.

Even in a losing situation, SKT still possesses incredibly strong catch-up development ability!

Besides defending, they also used a rear ward to have Duke teleport down, aiming to get the 4-0 kill bounty on the Male Gunner.

"Dongmen, run fast!"

"I was scared to death, but this wave was okay because Flash was used quickly; otherwise, if Poppy's wall slam hit the wall, it would be hard to escape."

"During this Flash cooldown, we can't just casually go into the enemy jungle!"

Lin Ke and the others watched anxiously.

Xu Dongmen's Male Gunner is the team's core fighting power, its importance even higher than the double carries.

If he gets caught and killed, giving away the bounty is minor; the most crucial part is the Big Dragon.

"But Dongmen's wealth this game is real; he's almost at four items!" Lin Ke stared at the equipment bar.

Warrior's Jungle Knife, Giant Slayer, Green Fork, Purple Rainforest Fist…

"If I remember correctly, he should still have some unspent money on him."

Cui Jiaolian joked: "Our Dongmen player is truly a tycoon in the Summoner's Rift!"

Pu Longyun nodded with a smile: "Most of this game's economic lead comes from the jungle position."

Jokes aside, in this game Xu Dongmen bears the team's hope.

It is this hope's light; at 33 minutes into the match, another person walked into SKT's blue area and began clearing the Anti-Magic Swamp Frog.

"How is it this position again?"

Lin Ke's heart sank, secretly feeling something was wrong.

Four minutes ago, it was exactly at this position that the Male Gunner was forced to use Flash.

"Too bold! Flash still has one minute left on cooldown!"

The two coaches also put away their smiles.

Wasn't the agreement not to enter the enemy jungle until Flash is ready?

This wave, even the Male Gunner's Sweeping Lens is still on cooldown; he walked the whole way through SKT's vision!

"Uh-oh, Dongmen is about to be caught again!"

By observing SKT's personnel movements on the minimap, Pu Longyun deduced the opponent's intention.

"There's good news: Big Tree has Teleport, Poppy does not."

Cui Jiaolian's eyes quickly moved across the screen, capturing key information.

In the previous wave, Xu Dongmen was forced to flash after Poppy's TP was interrupted; during this process, V also used a protective TP, and after seeing the marksman flash and escape, he actively canceled it.

In the current version, the Teleport cooldown is the same as Flash, both 5 minutes.

However, canceling the channel during Teleport returns 100 seconds of cooldown.

This is why the Treant's TP will be ready first.

At this moment, both sides' top laners have been sent to the bottom lane to push, far from the upper half of the map; when fighting, this is QG's only advantage.

The reason it's the only advantage is that, at the moment SKT engages Xu Dongmen, the nearest Dire Apocalypse is still off-screen, and the two cores are also still farming in the mid and top lanes respectively.

Looking at SKT, Wolf was the first to arrive, flashing and placing Q's mark on the big one, with Faker and Blank closely following.

Bang's Lucian is also on his way.

Hey!

Faker controls the Sand Soldier, a super-long drift straight toward the marksman.

Xu Dongmen quickly draws his gun and uses the ultimate explosive bomb together, two displacements pulling him away, yet he is still pushed back by the Imperial Guard Wall.

The Sand King is drift plus Flash!

This time, Faker unleashed an excellent ultimate, not only pushing the person back but also using the Imperial Guard Wall to block the escape route to the top lane.

Level 3 Imperial Guard Wall, duration 7 seconds!

In this situation, if the marksman wants to run, he can only run toward the blue buff direction, which is undoubtedly sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Blank's Nidalee is already here, and Bang's Lucian is about to arrive.

This is a 4-on-1!

SKT's mid and support come up with double Flash and double ultimates; their command is to keep the marksman at any cost.

"Relax, buddy!"

Just as the manager and coach had their hearts in their throats, Xu Dongmen on the field made an extremely bold move; after being pushed back by the Imperial Guard Wall, he did not think of fleeing but decisively turned back to seek the Sand King.

Bang!

The T-shaped gunpowder roll contacts the Imperial Guard Wall, causing an explosion that rolls up a red flame tongue.

Faker winces in pain, hides behind the human wall to exploit his long-range advantage.

Xu Dongmen does not give chase; if he steps forward even one more step this wave, he will be hit by Nidalee's spear.

A well-timed pause caused Blank to misjudge the angle.

Thud~

The shock effect triggers, Braum's passive activates, and Blank transforms into cougar form and pounces forward.

At the same time, Bang has not arrived yet, but the Holy Spear Baptism arrives first!

Before version 6.4, Lucian's ultimate range was 1400.

After 6.4, it was cut by 200, becoming 1200.

Even at 1200, it is still two hundred yards more than later versions.

Hum~
