Chapter 609 Predicting Q-Claw! Little Kennen, come back! First Blood!

At that moment, Canna suddenly felt a chill run down her spine!

The moment he stepped into the bushes, he saw five burly men staring at him with ill intent.

"Canna's prediction was wrong, and EDG actually caught her!"

Miller's voice was filled with excitement as he watched Canna inexplicably walk into the bushes.

Although securing first blood doesn't guarantee EDG will win the game, it's still a good sign!
On the other side, the moment Canna saw five people in the bushes, he almost instinctively pressed his Flash.

Unfortunately.

The instant he landed with Flash, a mechanical claw pulled his Kennen back into the crowd.

Come back, little Kennan!
"Kshine robot's prediction is amazing!"

Seeing this, Colonel Guan made no attempt to hide his excitement, "His hook was really accurate today. He came right off the bat with a predicted Q and even hooked Kennen."

"Yao's proficiency with hook-type heroes is quite impressive; his Thresh performance last time was also excellent!"

The baby said with a smile.

One person faces five people, and he flashes and is hooked back by the robot. The result is self-evident.
After some discussion, it was decided that Kennen's kill would ultimately go to Jiejie's Nidalee.

EDG was hoping that Nidalee could lead the team's early game tempo.

"Brother Yao, turn it off. Playing like this isn't fun anymore."

"What do you mean 'closed'? If it's not closed, it means it's open?"

"Remember this: although Yao-ge can pull off some funny stunts, if you think he's really bad, then you're just a complete clown."

"I understand, this is just a small part of the Triple Crown's divine power."

"I'm sorry, Canna's tremor reminded me of something not so good."

"..."

The chat in the live stream was scrolling wildly. Everyone was prepared for Wang Yao's robot to make some silly mistakes, but unexpectedly, Wang Yao actually did it.

Even Jiejie and the others were incredibly surprised. "Brother Yao, your prediction was absolutely amazing!"

"It's alright, I'm usually pretty accurate."

Wang Yao told the truth.

Meanwhile, on the T1 side...

Ellim, who was jungling in the lower jungle, heard the sound of First Blood coming through his headphones and his eyes widened immediately.

Brother, I just reminded you to be careful, how could you still give away the first blood? And the one who gave away the first blood was Nidalee!

Is it because they feel my Graves doesn't face the same laning pressure in the jungle, so they're deliberately increasing my strength?!

Not only him, but even Lu Bu, who was far to the right with two people between him, couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of his own top laner.

It doesn’t matter if Kennen gave up first blood. After all, he is fighting against Crocodile, with long arms against short arms, so the game is still playable.

But if you use Flash and still die, that would be a big problem!
Xiao Lu Bu took a deep breath. For some reason, after seeing Kennen lose his Flash and give up First Blood, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Perhaps sensing that something was off about the atmosphere in the group, Canna coughed lightly.

He moved the mouse and controlled Kennen to go to the top lane, while saying weakly, "It's okay, it wasn't Crocodile who got the kill. I have long arms against short arms, and I can still play in the lane."

"Ah."

Little Lu Bu nodded, then added, "You also need to be careful. Before your Flash is ready again, it's best not to push too far into the lane, otherwise it's very dangerous."

Kennen without flash is basically like a mobile $300 ATM when facing the Crocodile-Leopard combination.

Although Nidalee is definitely not as good as Male Gun in the later stages and can be easily taken down with two shots when she rushes up, in terms of setting the pace in the early stages, Nidalee is far ahead of Male Gun, so they can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages.

"The enemy Nidalee got first blood, so she'll definitely be making a lot of plays. We just need to play it safe in the early to mid-game and try not to let Nidalee get the momentum going!"

Ellim, the jungler, also shared his opinion.

……

Here are the EDG players' seats.

After successfully capturing Kennen, Jiejie, who had secured the first kill, immediately bought a Killing Ring after returning home.

Faced with this incredible start, Jiejie changed his usual approach and decided to go all out with his aggressive style, even if he had to die, he would die standing!
After Wang Yao and Ah Shui arrived at the bottom lane, they didn't seem to have any particular interest in Xiao Lu Bu and Kuri.

Firstly, Lu Bu always hid behind the soldiers, not giving them a chance to hook; secondly, even if they hooked, they might not be able to defeat him.

Because he had anticipated Kennen's Flash and hooked him back, Wang Yao had already applied Ignite.

Naturally, we have one less summoner skill on the opposite side, so if a fight breaks out in the bottom lane, we may not be able to win.

Scout's Jayce in the mid lane is a long-range vs. short-range matchup against Galio, so he doesn't face much pressure, but it's unlikely he'll make any significant impact.

To be precise, Scout hardly makes a sound when facing Faker, while Faker has a natural bloodline advantage when facing Little Faker.

Although not as dramatic as Xiaohu's performance against Faker, Scout's performance was indeed not as good as usual.

The situation is different in the top lane. Since Kennen doesn't have Flash, Flandre is naturally going to cause trouble.

He controlled the crocodile, pretending to move forward to prepare to last-hit minions, but in reality, he was luring Canna's Kennen to use a basic attack on him.

Crocodile is very weak at level 1, and has no way to beat a long-handed top laner like Kennen.

as predicted!

Canna couldn't resist and, seeing the crocodile make a positioning mistake, couldn't help but use an AQ combo.

It was this move by the opponent that made Flandre smile. "Jiejie, come to top lane later, we can gank this Kennen!"

Because Kennen damaged the Renekton, EDG's red team minions attacked Kennen, while T1's blue team minions continued to attack the red team minions.

In other words, the minion wave is irreversibly moving towards EDG.

When the line of troops is pushed forward, it is basically impossible for Kennen without flash to survive when facing Crocodile and Nidalee.

Canna was completely unaware that he was already on the verge of death. He controlled Kennen to try to last-hit the last minion wave so that it would be easy to push forward.

As long as you wait until the flash is ready, the disadvantage of using flash and giving away the first blood will be directly eliminated.

Here, on the LPL players' bench.

"I feel like EDG needs to step up their offense, because their lineup is still not as good as T1's in the later stages. They need to take advantage of Kennen's lack of Flash and create more opportunities."

"The main reason is that T1 picked Galio for mid lane this game. Galio is a utility champion, and this champion can sacrifice his own development when necessary."

"So we still need to be careful."

Miller and Professor Guan were analyzing the situation when they saw Jiejie, who had already cleared the upper jungle, control Nidalee and head straight for the top lane.

At this moment, because Canna's Kennen couldn't resist using AQ on Flandre's Renekton at level one, the minion wave had already been pushed irreversibly forward in the top lane.

Canna knew that this minion wave was dangerous for him, so he planned to push the wave forward and then quickly return to base.

This can save a teleport to go back to the top lane, and can also avoid being arrested by Nidalee. As long as the flash cooldown is over, this pair of lanes will no longer need to be so nervous.

However, just as he was about to take action, he saw that the docile Saint Gun, who had been as gentle as a Yangtze alligator, suddenly started to move!
Crocodile can be said to be a compulsory course for top laners, just like Thresh is a compulsory course for every support, and AD has its own Vayne!
He skillfully used his E skill to charge forward, closing the distance with Canna and Kennen while also stacking up Renekton's Fury.

Canna wasn't stupid; he knew that if the crocodile suddenly changed its behavior, it must mean the jungler had come.

So without hesitation, he manipulated Kennen to activate his E skill, transforming into a lightning ball and retreating rapidly.

However, Kennen didn't have flash after all, and the line of troops had been pushed over, resulting in a very long pursuit line in the top lane.

So Flandre's Renekton didn't even need to use Flash. He used two E skills to chase after Kennen, then used Q followed by a basic attack to stack up to 50 Fury, and immediately used his Fury W skill to freeze Kennen in place.

This is the most classic combo of the Crocodile and Leopard combination. The Crocodile uses his red rage to stun the enemy, and the Leopard Girl's Q skill directly hits the target from a long distance!

With a "poof" sound, Kennen, who had been stunned by Flandre's crocodile, visibly lost a significant amount of health, and the Nidalee's hunting mark appeared on his head.

The result is self-evident. Kennen, without flash, could not escape the pursuit of the Leopard Woman, and finally suffered his second bleeding.

"Jiejie's move came at just the right time. Kennen didn't have Flash and gave away another kill!"

"To be honest, this is the only way!"

After seeing Nidalee kill Kennen, Colonel Guan couldn't help but clench his hands together.

"However, this means EDG's bot lane will have to retreat a bit, because Jiejie won't be able to go to the bot lane for a while, and the enemy jungler Graves will choose to swap jungle camps."

Canna, watching her screen turn gray again, took a deep breath.

He had already realized this, but unfortunately it was too late.

He had to push that lane; if the enemy kept controlling that spot in front of the tower, it would be worse than death. "My bad!"

Two soft words echoed in T1's voice.

This made Lu Bu, who already had a bad feeling, feel even more as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

How can something that is not yours still be mine?
But he's already dead, so what's the point of saying anything more?

"Just play it safe. You don't need to dominate the enemy Renekton in the early game. Anyway, he won't be as useful as your Kennen later on."

Canna nodded after hearing what Faker said.

It seems that this is the only way in this situation.

It is true that it is comfortable to use long arms to beat short arms, but if you die twice at the beginning, that’s another story.

Faker's idea was very optimistic: as long as Kennen played cautiously, didn't think about anything else, and just used his range advantage to farm minions, he could succeed.

Unfortunately, reality is cruel!

Because not long after, a kill notification appeared again in the top lane.

Flandre's Renekton successfully found an opportunity in the last ten seconds before Kennen's Flash was about to recharge.

The most important thing is, this time there was no help from the jungler, and it was purely Crocodile who killed Kennen alone!
"Top laner Flandre has secured a solo kill against his lane opponent!"

From the commentary booth, Colonel Guan's voice became even more excited.

If the crocodile gets a good start, then EDG can take over most of the resources in the early and mid-game, and the situation will be similar to the last game!
"However, because Flandre's Renekton flashed in and tanked two tower shots, he might get traded."

"If it's replaced, Canna won't lose out too much."

Miller couldn't help but say something as he watched the turret's attack fall on the crocodile whose health was critically low.

However, following Colonel Guan's voice, the attack from the defense tower also fell on the crocodile.

The crocodile, though low on health, did not die!
"Holy Gun survived!"

The baby's voice rang out.

The director promptly gave a close-up of the crocodile's blood volume. There were only a dozen drops of blood left, and it was increasing at a very slow rate.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned, because not only Miller, but even the crocodile's health bar they had just observed would likely have been replaced.

At this moment, the online comments have already started flooding the screen!
"Fuck, you can even survive this?"

“You may not believe in science, but you can always believe in management!”

"All I can say is that Kuri must have had a private conversation with Canna last night. Her desire to join the Party is simply extraordinary!"

"Back at the hotel that night, when it was quiet, Canna took off her coat, revealing EDG's black team uniform underneath!"

"..."

Seeing that the top laner had been solo killed again, Faker and Xiao Lu Bu were completely dumbfounded.

Crocodile is relatively weak in the later stages and is not as threatening as Kennen.

But he can't do it like that!
Just as Faker was about to question Canna about how she had been killed again, the other person's voice slowly came through his earpiece.

"Well, the crocodile didn't dodge!"

Faker: "..."

Little Lu Bu: "..."

Why do I suddenly feel like swearing?
Is this a question of whether or not Flash is available?

I already told Canna to be careful with last-hitting minions and hold on. If we hold on, EDG's lineup will definitely be no match for us later on.

But how come Canna died three times right from the start?!
It's okay if Kennen is caught at level 1, because the kill is not Crocodile's, and he won't lose any experience or anything.

But now, after two waves of consecutive deaths, the situation is different. Not only is there a difference in level, but there is also a certain difference in equipment.

Once the Crocodile and Mercury's Boots come out, you can just dance on Kennen's head.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao in the bottom lane wasn't idle either. Since Ah Shui was playing Ezreal this game, he decisively started controlling the robot to roam after leveling up.

Kuri's Rakan is also a roaming support, but compared to Blitzcrank, he's still a bit lacking.

It’s not that Luo as a support is not as good as the robot, it’s just that Luo is a younger brother in front of the robot who can hook accurately.

The reason why robot assistance is not very dependent on the version is.

If you can hook the target accurately, you're a god!

Seeing Wang Yao start to move around, Kuri naturally couldn't sit still either, and controlled Luo to follow suit.

Little did they know, Wang Yao's apparent wandering was actually aimed at Kuri's Luo, a classic case of besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements!
Kuri was unaware that he was the target, but of course, given his personality, he wouldn't be afraid even if he did.

The answer is simple: youth is fearless!

"Kshine's hook shot, he's on fire today!"

When the commentator saw Wang Yao's robot hook Luo, who was trying to dodge the hook by using W's grand entrance, and pull him down from mid-air, Guan Daxiao's excited voice immediately rang out from the commentary booth.

"Jiejie's leopard woman is right behind him, so he shouldn't be able to escape."

With his voice, Jiejie's Nidalee easily hit Rakan, who was knocked up by the robot, with a Q skill, and then switched forms to become a leopard and easily took the kill.

"EDG had a very smooth start to the game, and with their support dying, it looks like EDG can take the Rift Herald now!"

Just as Colonel Guan finished speaking, unexpected good news suddenly came from the bottom lane.

Ah Shui's Ezreal solo-killed Xiao Lu Bu's Ashe!
When there was support, both of them were very wary, but after their old fathers were gone, they immediately turned the table.

The director promptly provided a replay.

As you can see, Lu Bu's Ashe was very skillful, using minions to block the Q skill and only releasing Ashe's ultimate, Magic Crystal Arrow, when Ezreal activated his ultimate.

Unfortunately, A Shui reacted quickly and pressed the flash button.

EZ's R flash will not change the flight trajectory of the ultimate move, but it can allow the hero to avoid the opponent's skills.

Ah Shui dodged Ashe's ultimate, but Xiao Lu Bu failed to dodge EZ's ultimate.

Furthermore, because Ah Shui pretended to return to the city but actually hid in the bushes to launch a surprise attack, Xiao Lu Bu could only fall to the ground in resentment.

"Oh my god, isn't this handsome?"

After securing a solo kill in his lane, JackeyLove's boastful voice immediately filled EDG's team voice chat.

But before he could finish preparing for the next match, he saw a man with a cigar in his mouth and a shotgun in his hand appear in the river.

The smell has already wafted over even though people haven’t arrived yet!
This made Ah Shui, who had just smiled, change his expression instantly.

"Shit, the jungler is here with me, you can take the Rift!"

He quickly reminded him, but in the end he could only wait to die.

After all, he had no ultimate and no flash, and his health was greatly reduced by Frost before his death. How could he possibly be a match for a fully-healthy Graves?

Seeing this kid's expression changing at the speed of light, many people in the live broadcast room felt a little bit shocked.

"I can only say that this speed of changing faces is worthy of being a professional player!"

"Ashui is good at everything except that he likes to act pretentiously and teach others."

"Looking at the shape of his lips, the Ice Emperor's first words are absolutely the sound of birdsong and flowers!"

……

Not only did the audience enjoy it, but even EDG's voice chat was filled with laughter.

"I thought you were showing us something, but you got shot by the male gunner, right?"

"Ah Shui, don't see me off!"

Upon hearing Jiejie and Wang Yao's words, Ah Shui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Because EDG has only lost one kill to the opposing team so far, and that was him!
"You only see me getting solo killed, but not me solo killing others, right?"

Ah Shui laughed and cursed, not caring about Wang Yao and the others' teasing.

After this little banter, the tense atmosphere within the group quietly dissipated.

But the situation is different on the T1 side, especially with Little Lu Bu!
At this moment, he almost wanted to die.

They were hoping to win a game on the blue side in the semifinals, but as the game went on, it felt like they were going to get crushed by EDG again. T1 is doomed!
