Chapter 22: Stalemate (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
Downstairs.
When Chen Xiang single-handedly killed Easyhoon's spring, LCD's jungler Taobao Fist finally grasped an opportunity and launched a big stealthy charge at the enemy's mouth, attempting to open up a breakthrough from the bottom lane!
Solar Flare!
"West shallow up, dry him!" At the same time, Hifumi Akane made a big move with her hand, and a golden yellow sunbeam appeared instantly, pressing down on Daimon like Mount Tai!
As an ADC without displacement, Big Mouth is their first choice!
But it has to be said that the Dawn Goddess's finishing move was too obvious, and all of a sudden a white light flashed, and the big mouth directly dodged this fatal attack!
"Hmph, think you can just flash and run?" Kinnosuke didn't let up, immediately following the flash with an E, his Tengen no Ken (Heavenly Sword) pointing straight at the big mouth!
Dawn Shield!
Hino Akiha lives up to her reputation as the most ruthless support in the national uniform. Once she finds an opportunity, she will never let go of the enemy easily!
Of course, his strong desire to attack at this time is also closely related to Chen Cheng's perfect performance before!
A newcomer can carry a team, how could he, as the captain, be willing to lose like this?
So he and Xi Qian tried every means to control the troops on their side, and summoned Taobao Quan Hu to stare at them, just waiting for Dà Zuǐ to come and reinforce the troops!
Big mouth obviously in the middle, Piye Ling an E skill Tian Ding's blade went down, and soon flew to the side of this late-stage ability, which is terrifying, Deep Sea Giant Mouth, and connected with Q's follow-up dizzy!
Leap strike!
At this moment, a praying mantis suddenly descended from the sky and jumped directly onto Dà Zuǐ's face!
But only managed to deal a two-hit QE combo's worth of damage, the mantis was kicked flying with one kick. A lithe figure burst out from the grass thicket and without saying another word, unleashed their ultimate move!
He's already died twice, the blind fool!
The big mouth dares to move forward largely because of the blind man's counter-attack from behind!
But he still clearly underestimated the determination of LCD to kill him. Under the double control of Rikka, in coordination with Obama and Mantis's crazy output, Big Mouth was instantly left with residual blood!
In a situation where he knew he was going to die, Big Mouth could only activate his W skill Biochemical Barrage and frantically click on Obama, trying to drag him down with him before he died.
But he thought too much, if Blind Monk was a normal development, SKT might have replaced one person, but with Blind Monk's unbearable equipment and level, after he came in and swung out a big move, he thoroughly gave up!
Other people's mantis is level 10, but he is only level 8. Others have almost got the egg knife + drinking magic knife, but he hasn't even made the basic wild equipment egg knife, and on his body there is only a 700 yuan spirit + an 800 yuan eye stone and a white sword, it's simply too miserable!
Horo has abandoned the synthesis of the egg knife and instead brought out an eye stone to supplement the team's vision!
Chen Cheng's previous two wild area anti-GANKs thoroughly crushed this initially arrogant and unbridled guy!
Go with the divine, against then dog. That is to say, the blind monk is a kind of early-stage invincible hero, with almost unbeatable wild single-killing ability, but once he dies one or two times, he's basically useless!
Xiao Xingxing's Riven also belongs to this category, but the other side's anti-pressure work is very good and hasn't fallen behind too much. After Chen Cheng helped out for a while, they have now turned defense into offense, exchanging blows with the alligator, and no longer at a disadvantage!
After a wave of skills, the final result of the fight was that Dà Zuǐ (Big Mouth) died, his head being taken by Obama. Nami and Blind Monk both flashed away to escape after using their ultimate moves, not daring to continue fighting with Pí Yě Líng (Skin Soft Ribbon) and others!
A blind man with neither a helper nor a sharp knife, what can he use to fight against three people on the other side?
It's worth mentioning that when the lower road burst into a fierce battle, the upper road was able to successfully hold down the alligator with Riven, never giving it a chance to escape its sight. The alligator watched as the lower road clashed, yet didn't dare to use teleport!
Marin knew that once he initiated the transmission, Riven would absolutely flash in to interrupt him. In front of this STAR player Riven, he didn't dare have even a bit of luck!
Although he often encounters players who play Riven very smoothly in the Korean server, this is his first time seeing a Riven with such exquisite operation and delicate details!
With the death of Big Mouth being too fast, the one-sided battle didn't give him time to consider whether to teleport or not, his teammates had already retreated to the tower below and he couldn't help but let go of a tower!
LCD all lines bloom!
"NICE, big win!" Seeing this scene, Chen Cheng's spirit was also lifted, and he walked directly towards Xiaolong.
Spent the whole day farming, managed to get a kill in a intense Taobao fight and successfully completed a GANK, helped my teammate take down an enemy hero and even destroyed their bottom lane tower!
And because the mid laner's Baron Nashor hasn't revived yet, they can take down the first Dragon and further expand their advantage!
This guy finally did some of the things a jungler should do!
The game went on for 14 minutes, and the purple side LCD successfully took down the first small dragon!
Even if the blind monk was still alive, his field of vision had already seen the opponent team fighting the dragon, but he didn't dare to rush in and steal the dragon. The team had paid a heavy price for his previous consecutive mistakes, now Horo must think thrice before making any move!
He can only silently record the time of Xiaolong's death and wait for the next Xiaolong refresh!
Up to now, SKT has fallen behind LCD by one defensive tower, a small dragon and four kills. In a situation where both sides are almost even in terms of gold earned from minion kills, the total economic difference is only around 3-4 thousand gold.
In a formal match, being behind by three or four thousand in less than 15 minutes is already a very big gap!
But the good thing is that SKT's two carries are both late-game heroes, compared to Syndra and Obama on the other side, Faker and Duke's late-game abilities absolutely crush them by a mile!
They only need to drag on and not let the LCD side expand their economy further, wait until 30 minutes later to team fight, they will absolutely not fall behind, even in an economically disadvantaged situation!
That's the essence of LOL, different lineups, different playstyles, and also different periods of dominance!
If it can be said that LCD was desperately suppressing SKT 30 minutes ago, then the strong period of this SKT lineup is after 30 minutes!
As long as they can drag it out until 30 minutes later, or even 40 minutes, 50 minutes, neither side in the team fight has any hope of winning!
The posthumous abilities of Houtarou and Eru are just too terrifying!
But LCD is not a fool either, as an old-brand team, they also understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides' lineups, knowing that they can't compete with SKT in the late game, so after taking down the small dragon, captain Pinyu immediately gave the order to gather!
After liberation of the lower road, LCD's first goal is the upper road one tower!
"Everyone except mid lane, come top! Chen Cheng, you also move up a bit and be ready to support at any time!" Hana Katsuragi led the younger ones to charge to the top lane with great momentum, attempting to kill people and take towers, rolling up a snowball.
But SKT's top laner Marin is also a veteran, as soon as he saw LCD's bottom lane combination hadn't been online for a long time, he immediately sensed the danger and retreated to the second tower, not even wanting the minion line, it was simply too cowardly!
This made Kijima Natsumi, who was trying to take a shortcut, furious, but she could only retreat and instruct the four of them to push away the first tower on the upper road!
In the OGN match in Korea, SKTT1S team's biggest feature is that they are afraid of a fight. Once they fall behind in the early stages, they immediately give up without hesitation and do not engage in a fair team fight, only destroying towers one by one. At this point, they can completely give up!
And after the top lane tower is dropped, both lanes have sufficient time to develop control lines. In the area near their own two towers, they can retreat and LCD will not be able to catch them without paying a huge price!
The alligator and big mouth are developing well, LCD can't just sit back and do nothing. Under the command of team captain Hana, the five members focus on the mid lane, aiming at SKT's mid lane tower!
Since you're developing on the side roads, I'll break through your central road!
This is the most commonly used tactic for one side of the early lineup. Since an early lineup was chosen, it must choose to rush the tower in advantageous situations and end the battle early! Otherwise, once the opponent drags past their own strong period, team fights are almost a losing situation in the late game, countless strong teams have fallen on this mistake!
The LCD members naturally did not want to see this tragedy happen to themselves, so the five quickly gathered and pushed down the middle road tower before SKT could react!
Although Fa Zu is a hero with extremely strong AOE ability and quick clearing, when his teammates have not yet arrived, facing the enemy's female tank ultimate skill and Cinderella's QE double control skills that pose a threat from an ultra-long distance, he dares not to make any rash moves, and can only watch as the fierce LCD five-man team quickly devour a tower!
"Beautiful, keep pushing forward!" After taking down the first tower with little resistance, the LCD five continued to advance, preparing to push another mid-tower in high spirits!
Now all three blue squares have been removed, and even if you want to push, you can only push two towers!
But SKT obviously didn't intend to give up the two towers, not only did the alligator on the top lane rush over quickly, but even the big mouth that had been developing in the bottom lane also rushed over, and both sides suddenly turned into a 5V5 tower defense situation!
Order: Attack!
Directive: Interference!
Muddy void!
Human cannonball!
Under the crazy AOE output of QW double combo and big mouth E skill cooperating with ultimate, the purple minion was cleared away immediately in just a few seconds after entering the tower, making it impossible for LCD players to dare to approach the tower!
The main reason for the failure of the tower is ADC, but Xie's Obama is a short-handed hero to begin with, and his range is only 550 yards, just like Vi. This led to the LCD five-man team circling around the tower with SKT for several minutes, yet they were unable to consume much of the second tower's blood!
Spring + Big Mouth + Crocodile, SKT's lineup is too strong in terms of tower clearing ability!
In addition, the ball controlled by the sentry gun was always in front of the tower, which also led to the purple side not daring to cross the tower and go up strongly. Even if Chen Cheng's QE two consecutive hits could often dizzy one or two people, Hanae Yumi didn't dare to recklessly receive the big move with her teammates and cross the tower!
To know that the big move of the spring not only has AOE damage explosion, but also has a large range of control effect, is a divine skill that can decide the outcome of a team battle! Not to mention it's under the tower, LCD five people dare not make any rash moves, and can only be stuck with their opponents at the bottom of the second tower, unable to advance or retreat.
