LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 669 Holy Gun Bro: The line is stuck, what else can I do but play on my phone!
When the backstage director saw this situation, he continued to switch the screen to other locations.

The mid-lane player, Yagao, plays a very conservative laning style; he considers it a success if he doesn't get breached. Meanwhile, Rookie is getting older, and his dominance is not as strong as it used to be.

It won't be possible to gain an advantage in the matchup for the time being.

Therefore, the mid-lane matchup wasn't particularly interesting.

Immediately, the director switched the camera to the bottom lane.

Although LokeN's skill level is not as high as JKL's, he unexpectedly had a breakout performance in this game, and even managed to subtly put pressure on JKL in lane.

When Jinx switched to her cannon form, she was repeatedly kited by Aphelios. After four or five minutes of laning, the difference in CS between the two AD carries was 11.

JKL is just like that – a high-ceiling, low-floor, unpredictable AD carry.

When it's being given away, it can even be as popular as male-oriented adult tofu for a month; when it's not being given away, it can even outperform top ADs like Viper.

On stage, Ah Shui was already drenched in sweat.

He hadn't expected to have such a difficult game; LokeN's Aphelios proficiency was even higher than he had imagined!
This AD hero, who lacks mobility and is extremely fragile, is different from ordinary AD heroes. In addition to basic attacks, he also needs to frequently use skills to deal damage.

This places high demands on positioning and the coordination between skills.

Moreover, while laning, you also need to constantly think about controlling your minions.

Most Aphelios players don't aim for solo kills in lane. As long as they don't make mistakes during the laning phase and manage to get a few kills in team fights, their late-game damage will be off the charts.

However, LokeN played very aggressively in the laning phase and had a strong intention to trade blows, which put JKL under tremendous pressure.

He, who was usually so arrogant, was now serious, his eyes fixed on the screen, not daring to look away for even a second.

He knew that if he lost focus for even a moment, LokeN would seize that moment to make a breakthrough.

Even with Thresh on the team, it's unrealistic for EDG to tower dive.

But nothing is absolute.

Once the tower is breached, the impact on the situation will be enormous.

Meanwhile, the discussions among netizens in the official live broadcast room never stopped.

"What is the director doing? There hasn't been a shot of them on the road for over a minute!"

"Are you crazy? What, are you going to keep the camera focused on the road all the time?"

"To be honest, the top lane should be the least important lane, right? Besides, if Flandre doesn't want to trade blows, even Yao wouldn't have a chance to get a solo kill."

"It can only be said that Yao-ge is always ruthless towards his old teammates, showing no mercy whatsoever."

"Indeed, the left hand is steady, the right hand is strong, and there is a slight touch of playfulness in the steadiness."

"Let alone Holy Gun Bro, anyone would choose to trade blows, right? Who can take on Aatrox's Iron Thorn Whip?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Graves hasn't moved under the tower for a full minute."

"Of course! If the cable's being controlled, what else are we supposed to do but play on our phones?"

"666, Bo Gang's reputation has been ruined."

"..."

While netizens were discussing this...

A voice prompt suddenly came through!

"Killing Spree!"

Immediately, everyone—from the audience commentators at the scene to the netizens in the live broadcast room and the second-channel anchors—looked up at the top of the screen.

There, a prominent kill notification came into view!

EDG's Kshine (Aatrox) has killed JDG's Flandre (Grave Robber)!

Upon seeing this notification, everyone became uneasy.

The audience seats were noisy.

"Holy crap! What's going on? What happened in the top lane?!"

"After a minute or so of silence, you're going to get another solo kill, huh?! What exactly are you trying to do, Flandre?"

"You should ask Yao what he's trying to do. If I'm not mistaken, this Graves seems to have been standing under the tower without moving, and Aatrox got a solo kill as soon as he walked over."

"They didn't let them tower dive, did they? Where's the director?"

"Play back immediately!"

"Director, wake up!"

"I've said it before, the directing team doesn't need to be all-Chinese!"

"After so many seasons, they still haven't trained a replay director? LPL is doomed!"

"It's very urgent!"

Backstage, the three members of the directing team were working like crazy.

"Stop nagging, stop nagging!"

"Holy crap, when did that solo kill happen? I thought the top lane wouldn't have any problems."

"Never mind that, just finish editing the clips and send them to me!"

"OK, OK, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Normally, there won't be many solo kills during a match.

The directors only need to keep an eye on whether either side intends to engage in a team fight; most of the time, there's no need to provide replays.

But ever since Wang Yao transferred to the higher-level unit, their workload has been increasing day by day!

It's one thing to provide replays for solo kills, but some plays are so fast that even if the camera is on them, they still need to be replayed.

Not only do we have to provide playback, but we also have to provide slow-motion playback.

Last year, when Wang Yao played the support role, he didn't need to be on camera as frequently.

About half a minute passed before the image on the large screen in front finally changed.

In the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo, who had been helping the production team stall for time, suddenly changed the subject.

"Oh? The replay is here! Let's see what exactly happened in the top lane."

Following his words, the audience all turned their attention to Summoner's Rift.

In the video, Graves is crouching under the tower, waiting for the minion wave to arrive.

Not far ahead, the Sword Demon slowly approached with two and a half to nearly three waves of fire.

Viewers imagined Flandre and were all incredibly envious.

Imagine, you haven't managed to kill a single minion in two minutes.

suddenly!

Three waves of lines are about to enter the tower!
The feeling was like rain after a long drought; almost no one could resist such temptation.

But Flandre remained very calm.

He knew there was a large level difference between the two sides, and he absolutely could not afford to have his blood exchanged.

Aatrox's combo deals a lot of damage, and if your health isn't high, you're very likely to get tower-dived.

If he gets killed right now, Flandre will be devastated!

So he didn't go out or block the lane; he just waited patiently for the minion wave to arrive.

Even though Saint Gun was as steady as a mountain, he still couldn't escape Wang Yao's clutches.

Wang Yao controlled the Sword Demon to walk behind the minion wave. At this distance, even a Q followed by an E would not be enough to touch Graves.

According to Flandre, he feels very safe.

But he never dreamed that Wang Yao would play by his own rules.

So what if Graves is at full health? He pressed Q and F simultaneously, and Aatrox drew his greatsword from his back and smashed it down without warning!
Bang!
The ball was thrown out of its maximum range and sent flying, eliciting gasps from the viewers watching the replay.

"My hair?!"

"Starting with a Q-Flash combo is way too over the top!"

"Confidence! This is pure confidence!"

"If this weren't a kill replay, I could only say that this Sword Demon is having a mental breakdown, but since he is, all I can say is 'awesome!'"

"He's really confident, but can Aatrox really kill a full-health Graves with this combo?"

"Just a reminder, this is a replay."

"..."

The reason why the audience was puzzled was because the scene in front of them was a replay of Aatrox killing Graves.

I was puzzled as to why Wang Yao dared to fight like that, and I was also puzzled as to how Jian Mo was able to kill Graves.

Even assuming Graves was at full health, his E skill alone shouldn't have allowed him to land all three parts of his Q, right?!

Meanwhile, the screen continues to scroll!
The Aatrox's Q-flash was very fast, and Flandre didn't expect the opponent to play like that, so he didn't react in time.

Seeing the knock-up effect, Wang Yao quickly used W, activated R, and followed up with the second part of Q.

He knew the Graves would use his E, but after six or seven minutes in the laning phase, Wang Yao was able to accurately control the distance of [Quick Draw].

In order to launch the opponent into the air a second time, the Sword Demon turned to the side, raised his greatsword, and slammed down the Darkin Blade once more!
The extremely precise angled double Q successfully interrupted Graves's [Quick Draw] at the extreme distance, and the previously released [Fiery Chains] pulled the Holy Gunner back to his original position.

Immediately, Aatrox gripped his greatsword horizontally and thrust it straight into Graves' chest.

Pfft!

After two hits of Q + Death Sword Aura + Evil Fire Chain, Holy Gun Bro's health bar dropped sharply!
The three-level difference, coupled with the Iron Spike Whip and the added attack power of the Erosion, meant that the two sides were not even on the same level.

Knowing he had no power to fight back, Flandre could only try his best to retreat.

Without Flash, without E, and without his ultimate, how can Graves escape?

He could only turn around and throw a smoke grenade, hoping to slow down the Sword Demon and keep him at bay.

But Wang Yao had already planned everything before he took action.

Then, with a three-part Q followed by an E, Aatrox successfully escaped the smoke range.

boom!
The final knock-up effect landed, and the massive damage instantly reduced Graves to a sliver of health!

But it's not over yet.

The moment the damage was dealt, Wang Yao pressed the 2 key.

A crimson slash circled out, and the Sword Demon unleashed another basic attack to finish off the remaining damage!
"Killing Spree!"

Graves screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground, dead.

This concludes the kill replay!

At the scene, a deafening roar of screams erupted as countless spectators waved their light sticks and shouted encouragement.

From their omniscient perspective, they were perfectly aware of what had just happened.

For Wang Yao, this maneuver might not be difficult. As long as the skill combos are executed correctly and the distance is controlled properly, it's fine.

But for ordinary people, the Sword Demon's move was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
"Holy Arema! What kind of proficiency is this?!" "Q1 Flash WRQ2AQ3E Iron Spike Whip A, right?!"

"I've never been a fan of rigid combos, but this one is fucking cool!"

"Not a single drop of the main damage was wasted, and the hit rate was extremely high."

"Extremely high hit rate? That's because Yao-ge is so accurate. If you let me play, I'd miss my first Q-flash!"

"Holy crap! What is that angled double Q? That's way too extreme!"

"I don't know if it was a lucky break or if it was foreseen, but interrupting Graves' E with the second Q was truly top-notch!"

"When someone starts with Q-Flash, do you think it's a lucky bluff or something they anticipated?"

"It feels like he definitely planned it in advance. The main thing I don't understand is why his skill combos are so smooth!"

"A true master knows when to use basic attacks to deal extra damage, and when not to be greedy."

"I've noticed something, guys. The A attack after the Iron Whip seems to be super fast."

"If I remember correctly, the Iron Spike Whip will automatically attack the enemy after it is released. As long as you don't interrupt it by clicking on the ground, the speed will be very fast."

"I really need to practice this. From now on, Sword Demon will be my main character!"

"You're all smiles in the training camp, but your cloth armor boots in the game are probably about to be glued off by now, aren't they?"

"You scold again?!"

"..."

On the other side, Wang Duoduo and Tong Xi in the commentary booth looked at each other in bewilderment.

In terms of proficiency with Aatrox alone, Top Esports' top laner 369 is actually quite good at it, and he can execute these combos without much trouble.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that 369 would never initiate a Q-Flash combo when Graves is at full health.

Even though he's only level three!
Because most players don't know if their damage output is sufficient, or whether the enemy jungler is present.

Not only 369, but most top laners would not choose such an extreme playstyle.

But that's what makes Wang Yao different.

His calculations of the damage were so precise that they suspected he had a computer in his head.

Aatrox deals mostly physical damage, while his W skill deals magical damage.

To accurately calculate the cut-off line, you can't rely on intuition alone; you really have to use your brain to calculate it.

For example, if Graves' physical resistance is 46, how many points of damage does your own skill deal to him?

With magic resistance of 23, what damage does W deal when it hits?

In addition, Aatrox is different from other heroes. His second and third Q skills have increased damage, and he also has increased damage when he knocks someone up.

How did Wang Yao calculate all of this?

After thinking for a long time, the two still couldn't come up with a solution, so they simply made a summary.

"Kshine was really decisive this time."

"That's genuine confidence!"

"But it was precisely because of this confidence that Flandre was completely unable to compete in the subsequent laning phase."

"That's right, he lost all three waves of minions in the top lane, Graves' turret plating will be destroyed, and the next wave of minions will be arriving soon, and he doesn't have a Teleport."

"Tsk... I think we can't just let the turret take this wave. Kanavi can come up and replenish supplies."

"Swapping the top and mid lanes is also an option, it depends on JDG's choice."

"um, yes."

Meanwhile, the match between the two sides continued.

Flandre, sitting in the top lane position for JDG, had a flushed face.

He's a veteran top laner for EDG, yet Wang Yao, his former teammate, attacked him so viciously, tower diving and killing him at full health—it was incredibly humiliating!

Three-wave line!
Three whole wave lines!
Wang Yao could kill him, but could he at least let him eat the thread first?

After sitting under the tower for two minutes, Flandre was waiting for this wave of minions, but in the end, he didn't even get a bite of the wave, let alone a bite of the minions!

At this moment, the veteran's mentality completely collapsed. He threw his hands up, leaned back in his chair, and began to give up.

At that moment, Kanavi's voice suddenly came through.

"I'll try my best to help you with this line."

Upon hearing this, Flandre wanted to kneel down on the spot.

Through the team's microphone, Flandre's choked voice could be heard.

"Canaway, I love you!"

No sooner had he said that than an obstacle appeared.

Wang Yao, who was returning to the city through the bushes, saw the prince coming to log in and immediately canceled his return and went over.

Although a large portion of the minion wave had been pushed under the tower, half of the wave was stuck outside because the next wave of minions arrived too quickly.

Normally, if your own minions are numerous, these enemy minions will quickly disappear.

The prince used his EQ combo to pull the minions out, then activated his W and stood there, making it impossible to push the minion wave forward; only human intervention could help.

Seeing Aatrox walking aggressively towards him, Kanavi made a quick decision, turned around and walked back to the tower, saying...

"Um...it seems like it won't stick, so I'll just have to eat it then."

"you……"

Saint Gun Bro looked annoyed.

He strongly suspected that this was Kanavi's real purpose.

It looks like he's blocking the lane for himself, but in reality, it's to lure the Sword Demon over, and then find a legitimate reason to clear the lane.

Horse riding.

I knew that old man wasn't that kind of person!
Although he was furious, there was nothing Flandre could do.

I can't get the wave myself, and if I put it under the tower, the tower will eat it all.

It would be better to let the jungler farm instead.

However, he still managed to say something.

"Eat what you want, don't try to fool my feelings."

Kanavi gave an awkward smile and didn't reply.

He had no idea that his earlier action of blocking the lane would lead to JDG losing the game!

Wang Yao originally planned to give up one plating layer and return to the city to craft the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe.

After all, there are many minions under the tower, and it would take a long time to eat up all the plating.

Wang Yao, who had about 1000 yuan, originally planned to return to base before the Graves returned to lane.

Graves is a lane bully largely because of his fast wave clear.

He recalled to base, Graves pushed the lane, and took advantage of the opportunity to steal the turret plating.

Wang Yao didn't want this to happen, so after eating one layer, he prepared to retreat.

But the prince's appearance disrupted the plan.

To drive Kanavi away, Aatrox had to interrupt his recall and come back up.

As he walked up, the next plating layer was immediately destroyed by the minion wave. He could have easily gained 175 gold by staying there for just a few seconds.

However, once the money was spent, the Sword Demon was unable to return to the city.

Because of Graves, I immediately went back to online!
After this back and forth, Wang Yao ended up fighting two lives with one life.

With a huge amount of gold but no equipment to replenish, JDG's strategy for the top lane naturally came into play.

In the team's microphone, the JDG players were discussing their next tactics.

Even without any items, the damage from Iron Spike and Phage is still very high.

It would take two people to kill him.

Coincidentally, JDG's mid laner is Ryze, and Yagao had already reached level six.

With Jarvan IV's crowd control abilities combined with the high damage output of the three, they were enough to kill Aatrox!

However, no one dared to act rashly.

EDG's mid laner is Galio, whose support speed is very fast.

The prerequisite for a three-man gank on the top lane is that Galio is not present.

Or Galio doesn't have his ultimate ability.

With this idea in mind, everyone began to think about it.

After a short while, they came up with a rough plan.

Simply put, gank the bottom lane and bait out Galio's ultimate!

Once the idea was in place, JDG quickly put it into practice.

The Sword Demon's teleport will be ready soon. If you want to catch him before he goes back to town to resupply, you have to act quickly.

In the commentary booth, seeing Ryze and Jarvan IV both leaning towards the bot lane duo, the commentators all spoke up.

"Wait a moment!"

"JDG seems to have suddenly decided to focus on the bot lane!"

"Ryze has his ultimate, and so does Jarvan IV. You know what, this actually has a chance!"

"Yes, but the problem is that Rookie picked Galio, and Hecarim's support speed is also very fast. I don't think JDG can make a move rashly."

"But they seem to be in a hurry?"

From God's perspective, the two could clearly see that Ryze didn't even bother to go around the river, heading straight for the bottom lane from the narrow passage beside the river.

This movement is fine in ranked games because many players won't ward this spot.

Well-trained professional players are completely different.

Rookie's ward placement was very skillful.

For example, the vision control we created earlier not only allows us to see the river bushes near the mid lane, but also the entrance to the enemy's lower jungle and the situation in the river bushes.

EDG was fully aware of Ryze's movements.

However, Kanavi did not reveal his vision; he circled around the jungle from the location of the Krugs towards the bottom lane.

If both of them are revealed at the same time, it would look too fake, and the old guys at EDG would definitely become suspicious.

However, if it's just one person, there's nothing to worry about.
