Chapter 50: Hand‑by‑Hand Command

"This."

doinb watched Su Xing's Xiao Pao with double buffs and fell into thought; he also plays Xiao Pao, so he knows how great it is for that hero to get a double buff early, and because the red buff exists, using his skills to harass it is of little use.

Thus his wave‑push speed can't match Su Xing's, and he can't harass with skills; so what's the point of picking Ka Er Ma? For a moment doinb fell into deep self‑doubt, wondering if he's really that bad.

"It's fine, I'll come back next wave!"

Le Yan didn't think much of it; it's just a double‑buff kill, give it! After respawning, he'll farm a round of jungle monsters and return to mid lane, and the double buff will be back on him, right?

"Forget it, let's roam."

doinb shook his head,

In his original plan, he would use lane control to go with Le Yan's Leopard Woman in the jungle to catch Bright Moon for an advantage, then gradually spread to the side lane; at that point a Ka Er Ma would fully show its value in mid‑game team fights.

But now it's far from his imagination; currently their mid jungle duo are both in a bind—one lacks lane control, the other lacks advantage—so even a 2v2 in mid jungle has no chance, and once Xiao Pao and Bright Moon gain advantage, their burst is hard for him to comprehend.

So doinb thought it might be better to go bot lane to pressure Uzi; maybe picking up a few kills could offset the mid jungle disadvantage.

"Fine, up to you."

Le Yan didn't refute the suggestion; after all, this match is basically doinb hiring four teammates to play, and those four have active LPL level. The boss said to take the bottom, but can the teammates even take mid? Half a minute later, after clearing the lower jungle, he saw the wave still being pushed, so under those conditions doinb couldn't possibly roam.

"Your wave..."

Le Yan asked, "You really don't want me to go over and help you catch something?"

"It's fine, wait a bit longer."

Le Yan stayed silent, opened the panel and glanced at the mid‑lane CS on both sides, feeling an indescribable oddness.

Six minutes, 60 CS for Xiao Pao, 40 CS for Ka Er Ma—why does something feel off?

"I'll go top lane myself."

Since doinb can't move, he can't go bot lane alone; better to go top lane and pick a soft target to squeeze.

"Alright, preparing to take the Rift Scuttler."

doinb suggested, "We really can't let the enemy take the Rift Scuttler."

The current mid‑lane Xiao Pao's secondary rune tree basically requires Blast, so if he can get three or six Rift Scuttlers, his tower‑pushing would be like a demolition site.

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed."

Meanwhile, Su Xing also began arranging for the upcoming Rift Scuttler contest,

Because A Le was there, he knew the upper half of the map was a disadvantage no matter what, so he couldn't follow the usual 3v3 in the upper half.

The only way was to let doinb cross the tower first, then return home to upgrade gear and teleport back; only by the equipment gap could the disparity in top‑lane strength be compensated.

"Bei Shang, go tower‑diving."

"Coming."

"I have teleport; let me soak the tower, and remember to save your ultimate."

Considering the upcoming Rift Scuttler fight, the jungler can't go to the contest, and he thought Bei Shang's Bright Moon ultimate should be held back for the scuttler battle.

The whole tower‑diving went smoothly; under Su Xing's hands‑on command, not even Bei Shang—any random viewer from the chat could easily pull it off.

"Maya, how can those two play like that?"

doinb's Ka Er Ma gave it his all, even gave up his Flash, to no avail; he could only stare at his gray‑white screen, using time‑keeping tricks to mask his embarrassment.

"This"

At the same time, top‑lane Le Yan helped A Le complete a tower dive, but he didn't expect his own mid lane to be tower‑dived as well: "It's fine, wait for me to teleport out and take the Rift Scuttler."

doinb seemed to argue with the chat, saying, "It's really not because I'm bad; if the enemy wants to tower‑dive, what can I do? Their combined damage is too high, I can't hold it either!"

"Has Quisanti used his ultimate?"

After returning to base with low health, Su Xing waited about ten seconds, then directly pulled out an electric blade; two kills plus CS and the gold from the coating were enough for him to have his first full item around the eight‑minute mark.

"Used it."

AJ said, "His dash is gone, but the Leopard Woman should still have Flash."

"Hmm, that's enough."

Su Xing also let out a sigh of relief; the good news is Quisanti used his ultimate this round, meaning their side now has a stronger chance in the upcoming Rift Scuttler fight.

"Bot lane missed."

At that moment Uzi suddenly said, "They might also go top to help with the Rift Scuttler this round; should we go over?"

"Did both bot players come over?"

Su Xing thought briefly and said, "You all come over too; just do a 5v5."

The enemy's stance clearly showed they didn't want us to get the Rift Scuttler, which wasn't surprising; in pro matches the first scuttler fight often pulls the bot duo over.

But the problem is our composition urgently needs the scuttler to speed up gaining early‑mid advantage; with the scuttler buff, the chance of taking a tower jumps significantly.

This team fight was inevitable.

"OK, you all need to pull them apart."

Although Uzi immediately told teammates that the enemy bot missed, timewise the enemy bot would arrive first, while he and Xiao Duan still needed to return to base for gear before rushing over.

"Quisanti has no ultimate, no dash; under normal circumstances you can just ignore him."

"AJ, you don't need to deliberately protect Uzi; if possible, you and Bei Shang should watch their backline together."

"Let Bei Shang engage the enemy bot duo; his ultimate is still up, so he won't be instantly killed when he goes in."

"Uzi and I should prioritize killing the enemy mid‑jungle, especially doinb's Ka Er Ma; in team fights, if you don't deal with him first, his shield‑stacking acceleration is pretty annoying."

"Uzi, remember not to overextend; if you go up a bit they'll definitely focus you."

Su Xing, using the known information, began directing the upcoming team fight; the process was almost down to telling each person where to stand and when to cast.

Fortunately, although everyone was a bit bad, they were retired veterans; many things clicked with just a hint, so Su Xing didn't have to waste words explaining every detail.
