Chapter 57: You Only Learn After Getting Beat Up Many Times
"Feels like we can attack."
At this time, Bei Shang, after finishing River Crab, glanced at the minion wave position and thought that appearing behind the enemy's first tower now would let him block the next wave of minions with his body while also blocking Wink.
Thus, Uzi and Xiao Duan could act against A Le, who was crouching under the tower; as long as the two coordinated without obvious mistakes, A Le's current wave would be doomed.
"Then you all try to execute."
Su Xing didn't say much more; he said everything that needed to be said. If teammates wouldn't listen, what could he do? He had experienced this feeling of being convinced his judgment was correct countless times in past competitions.
When he played professionally before, his teammates often behaved like that: they'd say they'd follow orders, but as the game went on they'd develop all sorts of odd ideas that couldn't be stopped.
After all, pro players are still human; as long as they're human they have their own thoughts.
Regarding this phenomenon, Su Xing thought that once you get hit enough times, you'll eventually learn.
Fortunately, he now has wave control in the mid lane, so even if Uzi and others make a mistake while diving the tower, he can rush over immediately to clean up the mess.
Soon, Bei Shang appeared near the enemy's first and second towers and began cutting the minion wave; the purpose was obvious.
"Feels like we can lure them in and wipe them out."
Uzi and the others' scheme didn't surprise A Le; this wave would inevitably be tower‑dived, so they had already prepared a response.
On their mini‑map, besides the support, Le Yan's Ruined King was also about to arrive top lane! The enemy didn't realize that Le Yan hadn't chosen to clear all three monster camps in the lower jungle; he had anticipated Bei Shang's next move, so while taking the red buff he also coordinated with Wink to appear together on top lane.
"At level 1, can you withstand a full combo from Liliya?"
Le Yan asked, "If not, killing one Liliya will be enough."
"It's fine, I just need to avoid Liliya's E skill."
A Le replied calmly, "Early on, Liliya's damage without passives and items is just that."
As soon as the words fell, a raging Uzi charged into the tower with a huge wave of minions.
But the next second, A Le's action surprised Uzi; he actually retreated! "Doesn't he want to give me that kill?"
Uzi felt a bit helpless,
Whether Bei Shang can secure the kill is uncertain, but if he lets himself get the kill he'll definitely secure it; A Le knew this, so he preferred to give the kill to Liliya.
"No, he's selling!"
Su Xing, who was laning mid, occasionally switched perspectives to watch teammates; when he saw A Le's actions from Bei Shang's view, he instantly sensed something was off! Shortly after his words, a Sun Girl and a Ruined King that shouldn't have appeared at this moment emerged from the fog of war! "Damned, that kid Le Yan just took a red buff and came back!"
Su Xing didn't have time to handle the wave further and rushed straight to the upper half; the only thing he could do now was to minimize the cost! "The card is up."
doinb hurriedly shouted, "I'm also following, but I'll be a bit slower than him."
"Kill Uzi!"
Le Yan's goal was crystal clear: when Uzi was on the opposite side, he shouldn't think about anything else, just find a way to kill Uzi.
"Damn, it's coming toward me."
Uzi also had a bitter, unspeakable feeling; he had calculated that Wink's support would appear, but truly hadn't expected Le Yan's Ruined King!
The most awkward thing was that his current position was within the turret's attack range; as long as he dared to auto‑attack anyone before stepping out of the turret's range, the turret would instantly lock onto him. "I'm rushing, I'm leaning!"
Su Xing reminded, "Bei Shang, immediately turn back and output the Ruined King, ignore Kainan; Xiao Duan, use your Q on the Ruined King to draw the turret's aggro, then flash out."
Seeing that Bei Shang intended to kill Kainan first, Su Xing almost couldn't hold back his outburst; setting aside whether he could kill Kainan, even if he did, he still couldn't escape afterward.
Thus the outcome would be a one‑for‑three trade, but if he turned back immediately to output the Ruined King, there was a decent chance to kill the Ruined King, causing Uzi's Jinx passive to refresh and start harvesting.
In this extremely dangerous situation, the few of them didn't have time to reply and instinctively followed Su Xing's commands.
"It's okay."
Uzi Jinghua broke the Ruined King's W skill and flashed out of the turret's attack range, but he couldn't evade the two control abilities of Wink's Sun Girl by adjusting his positioning.
Fortunately, after using Jinghua's skill, he briefly gained some toughness; although he was hit by Sun Girl's Q and E, his increased toughness prevented long‑term control.
"Kill the Ruined King, let me refresh my passive and run; they all have to die!"
Uzi began outputting while stacking his lethal rhythm; he felt he still had enough room to maneuver this wave, but the next second the Ruined King flashed, evaded Jinx's E, and landed a face‑to‑face attack.
The Ruined King, with its E attack speed and Conqueror bonus, was unfazed by Jinx's damage, and with Sun Girl's Ignite applied, Uzi's health began to drain.
"Just a little bit off."
Uzi was frantic; if he got killed, the Ruined King would enter soul‑harvest mode and become truly invincible.
Fortunately,
Just as he was about to be killed, a card appeared behind him, precisely slashing the Ruined King's body and taking its last drop of health.
First Blood!
"The distance is perfect."
Su Xing let out a slight sigh of relief, flashed and threw his Q at an extreme distance, just enough to take Le Yan's Ruined King; even a hair's breadth off wouldn't count.
"Nice!"
Uzi's Jinx passive refreshed, thinking he could at least get a kill this wave, but Su Xing's next words snapped him back to reality.
"My suggestion is, while the passive is still active, you immediately retreat the way you came."
Su Xing calmly said, "doinb is on my flank; I can flash and Q the Ruined King, and he can flash to follow and kill you."
"OK, I'm out."
Upon hearing that, Uzi didn't even turn his head and retreated the same way; with the minion wave present, he didn't need to worry about the turret attacking him.
"You two also come this way, don't linger in battle."
Su Xing said, "This is the enemy's jungle; don't think about killing another, the Ruined King will respawn quickly."
The originally cataclysmic situation was forced to turn around; in this case, killing one Ruined King was already a huge gain, and Bei Shang still wanted to take another support, showing he didn't regard the enemy as humans.
