Chapter 462 Drag them all down with him!

"what?!"

"Teddy's first kill was taken by Pike?!"

"How can this be?!"

On the LPL commentary desk, as Wawa and Miller followed the director's camera.

EDG's five players grouped up at level one, but when they passed the bottom lane river entrance, they discovered that the person providing vision was actually Captain's Sona.

Other heroes might have some health and tankiness.

Sona is currently the squishiest champion in League of Legends, bar none; a single skill can even take away half of her health.

If Draven hits you twice, you'll probably be crippled.

Immediately afterwards, we saw the captain's Sona get hooked by the Titan and then die from Pyke's Q!

And this was after using a death flash.

"Huh?! This?! How did SKT manage to do that?"

"Could it be that Captain Teddy was completely unaware of EDG's intrusion?"

"This mistake was too big!"

"To be honest, this death was a bit too easy. EDG didn't even use a single Flash, and their health was completely full. It was too easy for them to die."

"Although we don't know how effective the jungle Pyke will be, Wang Yao's first blood is definitely not good news for the SKT team."

"Wow! Kshine's timing seems pretty good. Maybe he can really switch to the jungle role!"

The game continues.

Teddy scratched his head awkwardly; the resurrection time after a level 1 death is very short.

After respawning, Sona immediately headed to the bottom lane.

After securing the first blood, EDG's players immediately returned to their lanes.

And just at this exact moment, the top laner Kennen arrives at the top lane at one minute and thirty seconds, ensuring that he doesn't miss any minion experience or level.

Wang Yao's Pyke also got a red buff with the help of the bottom lane duo.

Pyke is a champion who needs teammates to help him clear the jungle, otherwise jungling is too difficult, and he may even need to use Smite at level 1 to clear the jungle.

"Although the jungle skirmishes in this game were still quite interesting, Wang Yao's Pyke was very agile and seemed to be easy to gank."

"But his jungle clearing speed is definitely very slow, and he is absolutely no match for Clid's Lee Sin in terms of jungle resource competition."

"The focus of this game is actually on the bottom lane matchup. Whether Draven or the Taric-Sona combination performs well, the winner will have a very high chance of winning this game."

Miller nodded and then looked toward Summoner's Rift.

Because at that very moment, both junglers cleared the first jungle monster almost simultaneously!
On the SKT side, Clid placed an offensive ward in EDG's upper jungle at the start of the game. As a Lee Sin player playing against Pyke, he naturally had to invade the jungle.

So Lee Sin directly farmed from the bottom jungle to the top jungle.

As for the EDG team, after Wang Yao's Pyke secured the red buff, he also chose the most damaging jungle route: the six raptors.

Because Pyke is slow and takes a lot of damage in the early game, even with a longsword, Wang Yao's Pyke's efficiency is still quite poor.

That's right, after getting the first kill, Wang Yao went straight back to town, bought a longsword, and then went back to fight the red buff.

However, after Wang Yao's Pyke spent a long time farming the six birds, he immediately turned around and headed towards the Stone Beetle.

Wang Yao was aiming for a quick level 3, as Pyke was an extremely weak jungler compared to Lee Sin.

Although Pyke got the first blood, he wanted to fight SKT in the upper jungle.

The combination is too weak!
After Pike captured the stone beetle, he also successfully leveled up to level three.

Without a second thought, he continued towards the bottom lane, heading straight for the enemy Sona and Taric.

Pyke is a jungler who relies on fasting; if Wang Yao really wanted to farm jungle camps, he wouldn't need to play Pyke at all!

At this moment, SKT's bot lane duo knew that Sona, without Flash, would inevitably become EDG's target, a thorn in their side.

Therefore, even the SKT duo who were the first to go online did not dare to push the lane quickly, and it should be noted that Sona and Taric start with two support items.

Draven and Nautilus, plus Pyke in the jungle – this is definitely a tactical routine for the jungler to gank bot lane at level two or three, and it has appeared countless times in matches.

Therefore, SKT will definitely not give the same opportunity again in this game.

Moreover, two vision wards have been placed at the crucial point of the bottom lane river entrance.

No matter how Pike tries to maneuver, he can't get around these two lines of sight.

SKT also studied Wang Yao's game videos and saw his various god-like vision-circling maneuvers in the jungle.

Therefore, in order to prevent Wang Yao from blocking the line of sight, the angle at which Wang Yao could bypass the line of sight was specifically blocked.

But if we can't get around the jungle, then we can just go through the lanes!
Wang Yao knew, of course, that there was always vision around the bottom lane river entrance.

In that case, let's not go that way!

Go directly online!

With SKT's bot lane intentionally giving up lane space, Meiko and iboy pushed the lane without any pressure.

The minion wave is maintained at the wall in front of the enemy's turret.

This is the best position for SKT.

The minion wave won't reach the tower, giving Draven a chance to take tower plates.

It is also an extremely safe location, allowing for easy retreat at any time, and it is not far from the defensive tower.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao's Pyke had already followed the minions, sneaking from the bottom lane bushes to the second bush.

SKT's bot lane duo is unaware of all this.

Meanwhile, watching everything on the big screen, the commentators in the commentary booth began to analyze it.

"Huh?! Wang Yao's Pyke is planning to gank bot lane at level three! And he didn't choose to go through the river mouth, he knows there must be vision there."

"So we'll just go straight for the lanes. Anyway, Draven is pushing the lanes, and Sona and Taric don't seem to realize it yet!"

Miller exclaimed in surprise when he saw Wang Yao launch a gank in less than three minutes.

"However, EDG still has a hard time making a move this time. The captain and Mata's Taric and Sona are a bit turtling, and the Titan doesn't seem to be able to initiate. It's all minions!"

Remembering, he said with concern.

"No matter what, Wang Yao's Pyke needs to make a move as soon as possible. Clid's Lee Sin has already cleared the red and blue buffs and is about to go to the upper jungle to find Wang Yao's Pyke."

"If they find all the jungle monsters in your upper jungle with the blue buff there, they'll definitely know you're Pyke in the bot lane!"

The doll also expressed her concerns.

"Yes, Pyke has to make a move this time, and he has to do it well, otherwise the upper jungle will be completely given to Lee Sin, and the entire jungle is already ruined."

"If we can't do something right now, we'll be dominated by Lee Sin for the rest of the game!"

"Don't be fooled by Wang Yao's Pyke getting first blood; the jungle was a mess afterward, so it was still tough to win!"

The commentators were talking back and forth, as if Wang Yao's gank had already decided the outcome of the entire game!

Meanwhile, in the game...

"Will you make the first move, or should I?" Wang Yao asked calmly.

"I'm not good at initiating attacks!" Meiko's Titan was already trying to find the right angles.

However, with minions blocking the enemy Sona and Taric, Nautilus was unable to use his hook.

"Then I'll go first!"

Since the bot lane duo can't initiate, Pyke will have to go first.

However, Pyke is a jungler who is very suitable for initiating fights, as he was originally a support.

No hesitation!
W skill, Ghostly Stealth, is activated.

Glug glug glug glug...

Pyke immediately goes into stealth and gains a 40% decaying movement speed bonus for 5 seconds.

Pyke's stealth camouflage form allows him to hide outside of vision, provided that enemy heroes remain outside his detection radius. Attacking or casting abilities will end the camouflage state.

This is roughly a range of 600 yards.

600 yards is neither short nor long.

At this time, Sona and Gem were only level 2.

By the time the two discovered Parker's whereabouts, it was already a bit too late.

Especially when Sona doesn't have Flash.

Pyke's E ability, Phantom Wave, causes Pyke to dash forward, leaving a drowning phantom behind him.

In an instant, they were right in front of Sona.

Teddy was terrified and, without any way to use Flash, frantically retreated.

"Control him, control him, Mata, hurry, hurry, use Gem Q..." Teddy shouted at the same time.

"Good good!"

Mata is clearly getting old, and his mechanics can't keep up with his thinking.

The gem in his hand walked straight toward Pyke's face, blocking his own Sona's Q skill.

At the same time, he activated his Gem's Q skill, Aura, trying to control Pyke in front of him and buy Sona some time to retreat.

As long as Pyke doesn't manage to catch anyone during this gank.

EDG is losing a lot of money.

The fact that the jungler Pyke only had the red buff indicates that he hadn't even been to the upper jungle.

If Pyke fails to catch anyone, Lee Sin will inevitably clear out his upper jungle.

A Pyke who gets completely destroyed in the jungle is essentially a water ghost.

But the next moment...

Just as Gem's Q skill, Dazzle, was about to take effect, and just as Pyke's E skill, Drowned Phantom, was about to pull him back...

Golden light flashed.

E flash!
Parker moved forward again.

Clang—Pyke flashed behind Sona with lightning speed using his E-Flash.

He managed to dodge the stun from the Gem's Q skill, but also managed to control Sona.

Unfortunately, Mata's gem, in order to act as a hook for Sona, stood in front of Sona the whole time, and the two were on the same line.

Pyke's E-Flash directly controlled both Taric and Sona.

Then came a 1.25-second daze.

By this time, Draven and Titan could have crawled over.

Although the gem was blocking Titan's way, Meiko still managed to hook the gem first, and then came in front of the two of them.

Then, ignoring everything else for now, he lit incense for the Sona.

The disgusting thing about Gem Sona is that her healing is just too disgusting.

Sona has healing abilities, Taric also has healing abilities, and they also have healing items.

This ignition was the final straw for Sona.

At that moment, Pike unleashed a flurry of three blades.

iboy's Draven was indeed as bad as Uzi's; he managed to catch the axe even with such effortless positioning.

No problem, Draven learned his E skill at level 2.

iboy's axe catches are inaccurate, but his skill throws are precise.

Sona's E skill, "Pathfinder Axe," once again applied crowd control and slow, further compounded by Nautilus's follow-up auto-attack crowd control.

Sona, the most fragile champion in the League, and a level 2 Sona at that, how could she withstand such an attack?

Finally, he fell to the ground in a pool of blood after being hit by Pyke's basic attack.

Now that only Mata had the gem left, he started to panic.

The gem looks very solid, but it's only a second-grade gem!
I just took some damage, and my health isn't at full.

Most importantly, Wang Yao's Pyke only used his E skill, but he hasn't used his crucial Q skill yet.

next second.

Parker made his move, raising the harpoon in his hand, ready to strike.

No, no, this requires a flashbang!
Then, Gem immediately used his Flash ability and ran into the turret.

But at the instant the gems flashed, Wang Yao's Pyke simultaneously unleashed his hook.

chap!
Parker's harpoon struck the gem with the precision of a piercing nail.

Predict the Flash location!

Moreover, Pyke's charged Q not only dealt high physical damage and pulled the gem back, but also slowed it by 90% for 1 second.

A 90% reduction in speed is practically the same as dizziness!

With no means of escape, Gem was simply killed by the three EDG players who also had no skills.

Mata watched as Draven, without a single axe, simply took a step and attacked.

Even a Draven like this can cut off his own head.

Mata really gives off a feeling of being past his prime.

So humiliating!

Looking at the gem, who was already bleeding profusely, and then at Pike's raised harpoon, who was about to take the gem's head.

"Wow! Yao-ge..."

Fish Head iboy got anxious and shouted it out loud.

"Brother Yao! Give me the kills, give me the kills, I can carry!"

Wang Yao, after watching iboy's Draven gameplay, genuinely didn't want to give him the kill.

If Draven had an axe, this wave would have been wiped out long ago!

Oh well.

Pressing the S key stopped the game, and the harpoon that Parker had just raised also paused.

Draven, still without an axe, then simply used a basic attack to kill Taric, who had already reached the tower.

"Thanks for the head donation, Yao-ge!"

Seeing that he had secured the kill, iboy was all smiles.

"Look at you, you simp! Do you even deserve to get kills with your Draven skills?! I'd rather steal your kills!"

Meiko delivered a critical hit right away.

But we've already gotten the kills, so say whatever you want!
[EDG's Pyke, the Bloodharbor Ripper, kills Sona, the Maven of the Strings!]

[Honorable Executioner Draven has slain the Gem Knight!]

Two passionate female voices echoed throughout the venue.

"My goodness, what is Teddy doing? In just over two minutes, less than three minutes, he died twice in a row. Even a support hero would be useless now!"

I remember seeing Wang Yao's rhythm and immediately shouting out with passion.

Doll agreed, saying, "Wow, that Pyke was so decisive! He ganked bot lane at level three, and his E-flash was beautiful too. He's got you cornered! It's a guaranteed kill gank!"

"That's right, the Taric and Sona combo is great in every way, but it's vulnerable to aggressive engage compositions. This game, Pyke and Nautilus are designed to hook SKT until they question their existence."

Miller was initially worried for Wang Yao's Parker.

But it turns out.

Wang Yao, you can always be trusted!!
"Holy crap, what kind of opening script is this?!"

Upon seeing Wang Yao's level 3 Pyke, he began a hunger strike, and coincidentally, he managed to destroy Sona's Gem.

"Level two arrest?! Level three arrest?! This scene looks so familiar! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?!"

Uzi: They're slandering me! They're slandering me!

"Yao-ge has truly inherited Qi-jiang's skills! EDG's throne still belongs to the jungler!"

"Wow! Yao-ge's transformation is so successful! Is he aiming for a three-peat and three FMVP awards this year?!"

"Damn, looking at it this way, you really can't blame Uzi. He did everything. It seems like Wang Yao has never failed to gank bot at level two or three."

"But to be fair, iboy's Draven was just too hilarious! Luckily, Pyke played exceptionally well this time, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten any kills!"

"..."

Meanwhile, during the match...

After Wang Yao's Pyke finished killing someone in the bottom lane, he conveniently helped Draven push a wave of minions.

Of course, a few soldiers got dirty along the way.

Watching iboy's Draven last-hitting minions was exhausting, so Wang Yao "took pity on him".

"Let's eat a layer of the tart crust..."

Wang Yao then marked the enemy's bottom lane turret again.

A huge wave of minions is pushing into the tower; how can you sit back and not take advantage of this treasure trove?
Anyway, the opposing bot lane duo has been sent back to the fountain, and SKT's top, mid, and jungle are miles away.

Ding Dong!

Each person earned several tens of dollars...

Wang Yao's Pyke did not immediately recall to base, but instead invaded SKT's lower jungle.

"Wow, Kshine's Pyke was so bold this time. Draven and Nautilus had already recalled, but his Pyke still dared to invade the jungle alone."

Miller watched Wang Yao's actions and was amazed by Wang Yao's boldness.

"Yeah, SKT's Taric and Sona are already online... but they don't seem to be heading into the jungle!"

Wang Yao's audacity was not unfounded.

From the vision in the upper jungle, it can be seen that Clid's Lee Sin invaded EDG's blue buff jungle.

Based on this timeline, Lee Sin has reached level three.

Clid's Lee Sin will definitely start the game with a jungle route of blue buff, raptors, and red buff.

Wang Yao had certainly predicted this.

Pyke reaches level 3 quickly and successfully ganks the bottom lane.

If Clid's Lee Sin can still get a double buff start, then he doesn't deserve to be SKT's jungler at all.

At this moment, Wang Yao's upper jungle must be completely empty.

Even when Pyke returned to base, there was no jungle camp left to farm, so Wang Yao's Pyke directly invaded SKT's lower jungle.

One of the toad and the three wolves must be present.

This is also a consideration for maximizing Wang Yao's jungle clearing efficiency.

As for their own safety, Lee Sin was in his own upper jungle, while Irelia was being watched by Ryze in the mid lane.

Sona and Taric have a large wave of minions under the tower. If they are forced to abandon this wave and go to the jungle to find Pyke, even if Pyke is caught and killed, Sona and Taric will have to quit the game.

The difference in level and experience is too great.

Wang Yao's Pyke was indeed the most greedy choice, farming the Gromp in SKT's bottom jungle.

After securing the river crab in the lower jungle, Wang Yao's Pyke finally chose to recall.

Although they knew that Wang Yao's Pyke might be in their own jungle, SKT had no choice. If they went to the jungle to find Pyke, they would inevitably lose the minion wave and experience in the lane.

If they catch them, great; if they don't, they'll just explode.

"Wow, Kshine is really skilled and daring. Pyke hasn't replenished his health or upgraded his equipment, but he still dares to invade Clid's Lee Sin jungle?"

"And he actually succeeded in turning it around!"

"Wow, Kshine's Pike is too greedy! Not content with just rebelling against the toad, he even took the river crab!"

Miller was pleasantly surprised, never expecting Wang Yao's Pike to be so powerful.
