Chapter 154 A Ruthless Ambush!
Wang Yao's Caitlyn absolutely cannot get hit by Q Whirlwind. Once she gets blown up, Tristana will jump right in and unleash a burst of auto-attacks, which his squishy Caitlyn can't withstand.

Wolf timed his vulnerability perfectly.

His Q whirlwind landed precisely at the optimal point for Caitlyn Wang to deal damage.

Furthermore, while the female police officer's W trap can land in time, the range of her E skill is a bit short.

Therefore, Wang Yao was unable to use the standard Caitlyn combo EQA to unleash a burst of damage.

Now Wang Yao can only retreat half a step, giving up the opportunity to deal damage, and rely on positioning to dodge Janna's Q whirlwind.

The female police officer's headshot basic attack damage was blocked by Janna's shield.

Meiko's robot didn't dare to stay in place for too long. After knocking Janna away with a punch using his E skill, he immediately turned around and retreated.

The two duos swapped skills, but this was perfectly acceptable for SKT.

After all, the cooldown of Blitzcrank's Q hook skill is longer than that of Janna's Q.

Furthermore, when the robot is without its hook, Janna and Tristana, as a Tier 1 bot lane duo in this patch, can completely suppress Caitlyn and control the lane.

Wang Yao glanced at the increasingly arrogant Little Cannon and pondered something.

During this period, Meiko would show some deficiencies in laning awareness when facing seasoned veterans like Wolf.

In fact, Meiko's performance as a support player at this year's World Championship was not as good as that of GorillA and CoreJJ, two LCK support players.

Especially when it comes to online fighting and skill exchanges, Meiko's reaction is noticeably slower, and he often fails to realize the opponent's intentions.

This is due to a lack of competition experience.

The more experienced the duo Meiko faces, the easier it is for them to fall into her trap.

The skill gap between most professional League of Legends players is actually not that big; what really determines the difference between them is the clash of game sense.

Early laning phase, mid-game macro play, and late-game team fights – these are the true testing grounds that determine the skill level of a team's players!

Just now, when Wang Yao noticed that Janna had deliberately stepped forward to expose an opening, he realized that there was a charged Q Cyclone in the bush, but before he could tell Meiko, Blitzcrank had already hooked.

This is the difference in laning awareness; details that Wang Yao can immediately notice, Meiko may not be able to react to.

"They're really ruthless. They're probably planning to go back to town to resupply."

Meiko, belatedly realizing the SKT duo's intentions, exclaimed while marveling at Wolf's shrewdness.

"That's possible, but I think they'll try to gain control of the river's visibility first."

Wang Yao glanced at the mini-map.

Having absolute lane priority in the bottom lane can indeed guarantee the team's advantage in vision control in the bottom half of the map.

SKT has now forced Caitlyn to concede some lane control thanks to their earlier skirmish, which allows them to move to the river area and establish new wards.

After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Wang Yao said to Meiko, "Let's let them come over first. Don't keep pushing. Let's wait for the jungler to reach level 6 before we make a move."

"Row!"

Meiko nodded. When it came to Wang Yao's laning instructions, Meiko was absolutely obedient.

On the SKT player bench.

After seeing the actions of EDG's bot lane duo, Wolf gave a helpless wry smile: "There probably won't be any suitable opportunities to break through in the bot lane."

Although their vision range extended to the river and the tri-bush, the minion wave in the bottom lane was blocked in front of the tower by the female police officer.

From this position, the Tristana couldn't whittle down the Caitlyn's health, nor could she damage the turret. Both bot lanes could only continue to farm peacefully.

Moreover, Bang's laning style is the standard Korean-style farming, which makes it impossible for him to exert the same extreme pressure as Uzi, tie his life to the enemy jungler, and force a poke fight.

Although SKT briefly gained lane control, the pressure from Caitlyn and Blitzcrank remained immense.

In particular, the female police officer's methodical last-hitting rhythm was almost in sync with Bang's Tristana, and the number of minions on both sides maintained the current tense situation.

Tristana cannot use her E skill to push the lane first. Once this burst skill is used, Blitzcrank and Caitlyn will immediately push in.

For a moment, the situation in the bottom lane became deadlocked.

SKT's bot lane duo seemed to have shaken off the early-game pressure, but their team's rhythm failed to advance as desired.

If EDG's bot lane doesn't give them a chance to break through, then SKT's top, mid, and jungle will continue to be suppressed by EDG's aggressiveness.

Even the SKT players themselves probably didn't realize that they originally planned to drag the game into the late game and play a defensive counter-attacking style, but now they are struggling to find offensive opportunities.

At this moment, the game time is 7 minutes and 31 seconds.

Wolf glanced at the wards that had disappeared near the river and seemed to be deep in thought.

Currently, their bot lane duo only has one trinket ward left, and this precious ward slot is quite crucial. Wolf is thinking about how to make the best use of this ward slot.

"I used Q to pressure the wave, then pushed the minion wave forward before returning to base to buy more items."

As Wolf spoke, he controlled Janna to unleash her Q skill, aiming directly at the direction where the robot was located.

Bang immediately understood, using his E skill, Explosive Spark, to hit the minions, and then activating his Q skill, Attack Speed ​​Boost, to quickly push the minion wave forward.

"They're heading back to base. We can't hold them off this wave. Let's clear the lane first."

Wang Yao began to speak.

Soon after pushing the minion wave to the turret, the two SKT players immediately retreated.

From God's perspective, PDD, the commentator on stage, noticed an unusual move by Wolf as he retreated.

Why did Wolf place this ward outside the designated area?

PDD's voice caught the attention of Doll and Miller. They looked closely and also noticed where Wolf's eye had landed.

The eye was pressed against the wall, but not stuck in the grass.

It looked like a mistake made by accident due to a shaky hand, but after thinking about it, PDD immediately understood Wolf's intention.

"This ward is outside the vision range of EDG's turret, so Meiko and Kshine most likely didn't see it."

PDD frowned and said thoughtfully, "Scanning can only be used when the hero reaches level 9 to scout the enemy's vision over a large area."

"So even if Meiko wanted to check the ward placement and vision in the bot lane, this ward would be very difficult to remove."

"Furthermore, once EDG's bot lane finishes replenishing their equipment and returns to lane, and pushes the minion wave past the river, this ward could very well become the key TP ward for SKT's flanking maneuver!"

After PDD's analysis, Wawa immediately understood SKT's true intentions.

This is a very ruthless ambush!

Miller looked a little nervous: "If that's the case, then EDG's bot lane might be in trouble. This could be a crucial signal that SKT is launching a counterattack!"

The audience below the stadium stared intently at the broadcast screen, praying for the EDG duo on stage, hoping they could see through SKT's ambush.
