LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 287 Absolute Suppression! Don't play Akali in front of him!
"Could it be AD LeBlanc?!"

After Miller finished speaking, everyone immediately noticed the difference in Ye Bo's rune choices and starting items.

If we're only talking about starting with a longsword, Xu Xiu used it back in the S11 finals, and Ye Bo also used it in a match last year.

But it doesn't matter whether it's Ye Bo or Xu Xiu.

I've never used {Fleet Step} as a rune choice!

This rune is not a good fit for LeBlanc's needs—it provides zero damage increase but enhances her lane sustain and mobility.

However, LeBlanc doesn't seem to be lacking in either laning strength or mobility with this rune.

In everyone's mind, it seems that only AD LeBlanc players who use a "fun playstyle" in ranked games would bring this.

V5 wanted to "verify" their understanding of the new season's version in this match. They didn't make any plans in the early game, but were more cautious because they almost fell into a trap at level one in the previous game.

However, when the EDG players came to the mid lane again to show their taunts, it was indeed just a simple interaction.

"Wow, I just realized that EDG has chosen three championship skins! Sejuani, Akali, and Nami are all out!" Wawa said with a smile as he looked at the three people whose faces were focused on by the director's camera.

Miller recalled and subconsciously replied, "That's right, Ornn was also built in the last game. It seems like only the ADC didn't build it. Wait, Aphelios also had it, but Uzi didn't use it."

Spicy Hot Pot, whose emotional intelligence isn't great, joked, "Hey, maybe Uzi doesn't like using other people's skins, but Vayne is too weak this patch~"

The screen was already flooded with comments like "How dare you!" and "I think they look very similar."

Miller, realizing he had said something wrong, tried to change the subject, but luckily his partner, Doll, cooperated perfectly: "But speaking of which, it seems like most people prefer the Prestige Edition Akali skin; it looks like not many people use the basic version, right?"

"I just don't know which one Master Ye himself prefers. Speaking of which, I wonder when we'll be able to see his Akali again~"

Miller chimed in, taking over from his partner: "Yeah, after all, this is the first Prestige Edition FMVP skin in history, and the Prestige Edition features the Dragon God from Chinese mythology, so it's normal that it's more popular than the Dragon Fist Lee Sin skin."

Only after the minor soldiers clashed did we return to the main topic.

The director switched to the Erlang Shen's perspective to show the three characters in the same frame.

Looking at the lineups alone, EDG has a slight advantage in the top and bottom lanes, but a slight disadvantage in the mid and jungle matchups, making it a 2-2 laning situation.

Fortunately, this game is different from the last one.

Neither the top and bottom lanes have an advantage nor the mid and jungle have a disadvantage, so the early game should be relatively peaceful.

"Ah Le and Uzi are fighting very fiercely." Miller tried to observe the perspective: "But Master Ye is fighting even more fiercely!"

"He's going straight over the minion wave! It's his LeBlanc's classic auto-attack combo!"

This wasn't the first time Ye Bo had showcased the LeBlanc vs. Akali matchup; they had swapped positions quite a few times before, and most viewers still remember it.

Overall, it's a 50/50 chance.

Akali has extremely high burst damage, possesses unparalleled life regeneration in the League, and is also an energy-based champion with no mana cost.

LeBlanc has some advantages in the early game, but it's difficult for her to secure kills. A common scenario is that LeBlanc runs out of mana and Akali is left with very low health.

The situation will change again after level six. LeBlanc will have to be very careful. If she takes too many skills, she may be killed in one go. Last year in the World Championship, when Ye Bo faced Faker, Faker almost made a comeback when he was behind by one kill and gold.

But in the end, he fell beneath the tower of "Shadow Swap".

of course.

All of the above refer to the common AP LeBlanc build, but this seemingly "AD LeBlanc" build is not included!

Especially Ye Bo's AD LeBlanc.

"Is Master Ye positioning himself too far forward? Is he trying to force Akali out of the experience zone?!"

"But without the cover of minions, Akali has a chance to get hit by her abilities!"

To be fair, FOFO's performance this year is definitely at the peak of his career, and he has already secured a starting spot on the [CN Taipei Team] for the Asian Games, squeezing out Maple, who is known as the "Taiwan Tiger".

This alone is enough to show that their strength is definitely on point—after all, this year's [CN Taipei Team] has set themselves the goal of "competing for the championship and defending the silver medal"!
It's just that he seems somewhat unknown in the star-studded EDG team.

Upon discovering this vulnerability, FOFO did not hesitate at all and immediately learned the E skill, focusing intently on waiting.

The first three melee soldiers are about to be killed.

The Demoness pressed forward completely, as if trying to push the opponent out of the experience zone, and made a gesture to raise her hand for a basic attack.

Akali takes flight simultaneously with Falcon Dance!
In a normal matchup, the best thing LeBlanc can do is to immediately learn W and jump away; otherwise, trading E for E or trading health will definitely put her at a disadvantage.

However, this allows Akali to easily walk into the minion wave to farm, and at the same time, she can use energy to exchange for mana.

But Ye Bo's actions were strange.

He did learn W instantly, but instead of using it to dodge, he took the hit of the Falcon Dance head-on.

At the same time, it even unusually continued to press forward with large strides.

Just as Akali's golden-red silhouette E2 was about to deliver a flying kick, her foot, bursting with golden flames, was about to strike LeBlanc's face—LeBlanc first lightly raised her staff before stepping out with W.

And upon closer inspection, it turned out that they had actually stepped onto the empty space to the side!?

"What operation is this?"

While the child, who wasn't very good at the game, was still wondering, the sharp-eyed Mala Xiangguo next to him exclaimed in unison, albeit somewhat unrefinedly, "Wawa!"

"Holy shit."

Akali's Falcon Dance kicked first, and LeBlanc's basic attack took effect shortly afterward.

A wisp of yellow smoke returned, restoring health.

Furthermore, due to LeBlanc's extreme positioning, Akali's follow-up flight was almost right next to LeBlanc, and therefore Akali still suffered the lower half of the range damage from [Shadow Step] upon landing!

Moreover, the placement of the feet is also quite particular.

"LeBlanc not only didn't pull Akali back, but instead pulled her forward, and she didn't lose any damage while using her W for mobility!"

"More importantly, Akali was pulled away from the minion wave, and he missed the first three melee minions! FOFO missed some experience!!"

"On the contrary, the LeBlanc immediately used her W to turn around and gained the experience herself!"

Miller quickly analyzed this absurd scene, realizing it only after the fact: "This is Master Ye's understanding of these two heroes. This mere first clash is already quite frightening!"

Even the spicy stir-fry vendor couldn't help but mutter, "This round alone will probably leave everyone drenched in sweat!"

He was not exaggerating at all.

FOFO looked extremely tense in the camera footage, wishing he could teleport backstage and slap that coach.

But there was actually a tiny detail that only his extremely focused opponent noticed.

Swift Steps
After triggering the first auto-attack, LeBlanc immediately used her W to turn around and walk back behind the minion wave, and then almost immediately used her Fleet Footwork for the "second" auto-attack!

Originally, even if Akali had also taken damage from LeBlanc's W, Akali would have gained the upper hand by trading skills.

But the two heals instantly reversed the situation!

{The rapid accumulation of "Energy Power" levels can only be achieved through two methods: basic attacks and movement.}
{The judgment of "Movement" does not necessarily rely on "walking" — similar skill displacements, and even flash and teleport, can also be stacked.}
And both of the Shadow Steps' movement techniques can also be used!
Looking back at Ye Bo's actions now, they seem even more meaningful and detailed.

First, attack with A, then use W to step out. This means simultaneously absorbing the full displacement distance of both W1 and W2, allowing you to achieve a near-double-energy effect. The uneventful 4-minute laning phase passes.

The jungle was relatively harmonious for both sides. Sejuani focused on counter-ganking in the bottom lane to protect the turret plates, while Wukong was positioned near the mid lane.

It wasn't until the director switched the camera back to the center that they realized it.

Akali is already about to be forced to recall!
"FOFO is under a lot of pressure. How come he's only getting single-digit CS after 4 minutes in the mid lane?" Wawa looked at the scoreboard in surprise.

"What?! Is the Demoness even carrying explosives?!"

Miller chuckled and joked, "Oh no, it feels like FOFO is risking his life to warn everyone that from now on, not only should we ban Akali, but we also can't play Akali against Master Ye. He really knows Akali too well."

"You know, even the Twisted Fate who was weaker in the laning phase in the last game didn't fare this badly! Even after dying from helping the jungler harass, his CS didn't drop much!"

"So, can JieJie come to the rescue? LeBlanc can't possibly tank the turret's protection and take down a plating layer, can she?!"

It's not that JieJie doesn't want to come and gank.

Akali's ability to coordinate ganks before level 6 is inherently poor, and coupled with the characteristics of "AD LeBlanc", she simply can't find ganking opportunities.

What is the most criticized flaw of the Enchantress?

It's simply that combat resources must be used in W!

If you use your most important mobility skill and still jump right into the enemy's face, your margin for error will be greatly reduced, and you will be more likely to be ganked.

But "AD LeBlanc" is different.

Although this type of LeBlanc also uses W, W is simply used for "movement" and there is no need to jump into the opponent's face. The output space and the skill ceiling are worlds apart!
What's outrageous is that despite the mid-lane turret having a high amount of plating protection...

But the LeBlanc managed to land three [Demolition] attacks, and it looked like she was about to get a plating 5 minutes ago!
The good news is.

EDG focused on protecting the bottom lane and pushing forward, allowing Caitlyn to push down one turret plating around the 5-minute mark, which was considered a very smooth Caitlyn game.

After all, Kai'Sa is relatively weak in fights before evolving, and Meiko's support Nami is definitely not a problem in lane. In addition, with the jungler protecting her, V5's bot lane can only be disciplined to avoid trading blows and prevent being tower-dived.

of course.

Since Pig Girl has revealed her hand, Monkey couldn't possibly be out shopping.

And more importantly.

Compared to V5's bot lane, EDG's top lane is not as disciplined.

"Ah Le! Ah Le, stop pressing! This jungler should be able to guess where you are in the top lane!" Wawa shouted anxiously from afar, "Didn't they prepare for this?!"

"The crocodile flashed and bit, but thankfully Jayce also used Flash at the same time! Looks like he was prepared. Um, but if he was prepared, why was he still caught?"

Ah Le did know that the jungler was in the top half of the map.

But that didn't stop him from wanting to pressure the crocodile.

In his view, monkeys are not strong in ganking before level 6 and are not much of a threat.

If Jayce can't keep Renekton under pressure before level 6, Renekton will likely become uncontrollable after level 6 if he has multiple ultimate abilities or gets some tanky boots. At the very least, he'll definitely have no more solo kill opportunities.

In Ah Le's eyes, "winning or losing" is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is whether you can have a standout performance!
If I could get a solo kill on the opposing champion top laner, it would be worth it even if I lost!
Unfortunately, he forgot one thing.

In the middle lane, they were pressured even more severely than in the last game.

"Oh no! Xun has blocked our retreat, and LeBlanc is heading to the top lane too!"

"It seems like Ah Le can't get home! Is there anyone who can save him!?"

Ah Le is also calling for help.

However, since Sejuani is in the bottom half of the bracket, the most she can do is try to put some pressure on the bottom as well.

We can only rely on the mid laner.

However, both mid laners had just emerged, and because LeBlanc had purchased the [Kiseas Shard], her poke damage had increased dramatically.

The pressure in the laning phase has already been immense!

All {Energy} effects share the same stack count, meaning that both Gieshous Shards and Swiftstep Shards enjoy the same stacking efficiency and stack count.

For "AD LeBlanc"—this is equivalent to the upgrade that {Sheen} provides to champions like Gangplank and Camille!
FOFO gritted his teeth as he watched the road ahead.

Life is already tough enough.

Why are you putting pressure on me?!

Uzi glanced at the top lane, hesitated for a moment, and then directed, "FOFO, why don't you come and do something? I feel like you can't win even in a 3v2 situation."

Since Ye Bo left, the command of EDG has returned to the support player.

However, Meiko is very focused on laning in the early game, so he almost doesn't need any additional guidance and relies entirely on Jiejie's jungle rhythm.

Although Uzi has been away from the competition for a while, he still has his past experience and skills, and his command is still quite professional.

To be fair, this command was quite crucial.

The key is that FOFO has found a "backer"!
"Okay! If Uzbekistan says to do it, then let's do it!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Le stopped talking and still wanted to make a move under the tower.

However, he clearly had no chance against the three of them.

Waiting for the Enchantress to take her place, the three of them worked together to kick Jayce into the roadside of the canyon!

"First blood! V5's top and jungle have given the kill to LeBlanc!" Miller shouted excitedly at the kill on camera.

"Absolute dominance in the lane by LeBlanc! She found room to roam and forcefully established the tempo of the side lane!"

"Although everyone says it's hard to roam in the mid lane this patch, it turns out that if you have this kind of laning advantage, you can still roam without any problems! There are still solutions in this patch!"

[Selling for 50! Selling for FO! My dog ​​has such a huge advantage in the bot lane, can you please stop feeding?!]

[If you covered up the ID, I would have thought the dog was back to RYL, OMG, QG, RNG, or BLG. Such classic noobs in the top and mid lanes, always sabotaging my dog!]

[This barrage of comments is insane! It's safe to say that Uzi's comeback is no less significant to the Chinese barbecue scene than Last Xuan Shen's contribution to the dog ban in Huzhou!]

[FoFo is simply committing a crime. How dare they pick Akali on the opposing team? Aren't they afraid Akali will stab them in the back? Is that something you can just pick?!]

Master Ye: I told you to find your own Akali, not that you were actually looking for Akali! Have you any self-awareness?

Just now.

The director finally noticed Akali's movements.

"Akali didn't come to support top lane this time, she went to bot lane instead!?"

"This decision is acceptable. After all, sending reinforcements would be a 2v3 situation, making rescue difficult. Although V5 has two teleporters in the top and middle lanes, it's still a win if they can force out the teleports."
