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

Chapter 370 "YE's operation is very simple? Using herself as bait!"
"Malzac's ultimate was interrupted! Yone landed, followed by his ultimate, a double slash, then sheathed his weapon and retreated outside the tower!"

"Brother Xu! Has been solo killed!"

Guan Zeyuan suddenly shouted excitedly from the commentary booth.

"What happened in the mid lane?!"

After a solo kill occurred in the mid lane, neither jungler showed up, and their positions were naturally revealed to each other.

The two sides were about to start a battle in the bottom lane, but were stopped by ranged attacks. They had no reason to know that there were people behind them and still wanted to fight, which indirectly prevented a battle.

Everyone's viewpoint is focused on the mid lane.

Xu Xiuzheng craned his neck forward in shock, his bewildered little eyes filled with confusion, as if even he himself did not understand what had happened.

The director quickly switched to the replay.

The grasshopper, in poor condition, stayed under the tower, hiding until his passive shield refreshed before daring to step out from behind the tower to try and last-hit a minion.

This action alone shows that Xu Xiu was extremely steady, and he certainly did not die from a "sickness".

With both a passive ability and an ultimate skill, no one could reason not to take a huge wave of minions.

After all, if Yone dares to enter the turret's range and break the shield, Malzahar will instantly pull him under the turret—Yone is also in poor condition, and the 2.5-second suppression effect will take at least 2-3 turret attacks, which is almost certain death!
However, the death replay clearly shows that Yone directly and without any attempt to hide his EQ combo to enter the tower!

In Xu Xiu's eyes at the time, this was tantamount to sending someone to their death!

Even if Yone uses Q-Flash to get close, his {Void Magic Immunity Shield} can directly block the skill, and the opponent will still attract the turret's aggro, allowing him to reliably hold the opponent.

Unexpectedly, amidst a flurry of swordplay from the opposing team, my ultimate skill was inexplicably interrupted!

What happened?

Dual-wielding, kid!

[Upon turning the screen, I saw Chang Wei hitting Lai Fu.]

Hey Xu, give Ye some face! Stop bumping his head against his foot!

【（）（）（）（）！】

Xu Chu is truly a good friend of the LPL; he always steps up in crucial moments. He's definitely worthy of his reputation!

"This is... interrupting his own Q with Flash, then using W on the spot?" BDS's top laner Adam scratched his head: "The combo should be Q-Flash-W?"

Having played Demacia and Noxus generals, he had no idea about these flashy heroes and only made a rough guess.

G2's top laner BB, sitting next to him, nodded: "It should be. The visual effects look so cool, but the operation isn't particularly difficult."

"The most important thing is that if Yone wants to achieve the 'Separation of Man and Wind' with his Q-Flash, he must wait until the wind has completely been released before using Flash, which requires precise timing."

"Actually, many of YE's operations are not difficult. Anyone of us can replicate them. The key is the operational strategy. It's really impressive that he could come up with such an operation on the spot."

As the LEC's number one seed, he acted like the number one seed elder brother to his own fourth seed, and even gave him a lecture.

The backstage area was noisy. After all, the players from different countries didn't speak the same language, so even if they wanted to socialize, they were limited by the language barrier. Therefore, they gathered from different competition areas.

But on the other side.

Zeus, sitting in one of the LCK seats, had a furrowed brow.

He patted Oner on the shoulder, gesturing for him to come with him, and walked to the backstage computer next to him, which was used by the players to test their peripherals and warm up.

"What are those two from T1 doing? Aren't they going to watch anymore?"

"Let's go take a look."

Several contestants from various regions who had been watching this area curiously followed over.

When they saw that the two had chosen heroes that they wanted to replicate that play, they were both a little confused.

After all, to everyone else, that operation didn't seem that difficult.

But, soon.

They all stared wide-eyed.

It's just that Zues in front of the screen seems unable to "replicate" that move!
More accurately, Zeus did indeed replicate Yone's gameplay, and the positioning looked exactly the same as what had just happened in the arena.

The difference is that Oner, who was controlling the grasshopper on the other side, was not shielded or knocked away by the whirlwind, thus interrupting his ultimate!
Following Zeus's instructions, Yone was just like the scene Xu Xiu had imagined in his mind: he was directly sucked under the tower and unable to move, and was then shot to death by the tower!
"What the hell?" Oner was completely baffled and couldn't understand either.

The reason was soon revealed in the grasshopper's passive text.

The shield from [Void Travel] does not disappear immediately after being attacked by a hero; it remains for 0.25 seconds.
It was that Void Shield, which lingered for 0.25 seconds, that swallowed up the whirlwind that followed, along with W, which broke the shield!
Zeus was unaware of this subtle detail about Malzahar's passive ability; he just vaguely sensed that Yone's movements were odd and had never considered operating in that way before, so he decided to give it a try.

I never expected to try this.

I just realized that this seemingly simple operation is actually so difficult!
The maximum flight distance of the Yone Q3 is about 0.5 seconds — it seems there is still a gap of 0.25 seconds?

To achieve the "Separate Wind" instead of "Wind Together" Q-Flash, and to allow Yone to "escape the Q state" early and use W through the separation of wind, you must press Flash only after the wind has completely left your hand.

W also has a casting animation.

To seize that crucial 0.25-second gap, the timing of Q3's activation and the speed of the Flash followed by W must be absolutely precise!

Even the slightest deviation is unacceptable!

The more players understand Yone, the more they can appreciate the difficulty involved.

It requires not just simple hand speed, but also surgical precision and coordination. Even Zeus had to repeat the process many times before he successfully replicated it!
The top 16 players standing behind the chairs watched it several times before they finally understood.

"Wardfa?"

"What a rip-off. Even Zeus is this hard to replicate?"

"So, in other words, YE's Yone actually caught up with his own style?!"

"I'm starting to believe that post on Twitter too—BB, your coach is right!"

BB, the G2 top laner who had just made some outrageous remarks, blushed a little when he heard the North American top laner next to him teasing him.

Even Zeus, Yone's signature move, required repeated, no-cooldown testing in the training camp to barely replicate.

They actually said it was "easy to operate"!?

The other contestants who hadn't come over didn't understand what was going on behind them. They turned around in confusion, glanced at the commotion, and then looked back at the situation that was about to change drastically.

Two and a half minutes is a very short time in the real world, but it feels like an eternity in Summoner's Rift.

The cooldown of the grasshopper's ultimate skill is exactly 2 and a half minutes.

Originally, after reaching level 6 at 5 minutes and 30 seconds, Malzahar and Vi could constantly threaten the mid lane in front of the vanguard team fight, which would definitely suppress the opponent's mid laner and prevent them from making any rash moves.

Unexpectedly, the grasshopper's first ultimate move was used up just like that!

By the time Malzahar's ultimate ability is ready again, the vanguard team will be arriving soon, and they will also be hesitant to launch an attack, which means they have missed a crucial window of opportunity.

Approaching 8 minutes.

Keria glanced at the minimap: "Both supports are heading towards the Rift Herald."

"Is V5 going to take the lead? It seems a bit risky."

Aunt Youxi, clearly enjoying the spectacle, said, "The crocodile's fighting power is too strong at this point. Yone's five Rs were useless! This DK can kill one with just two headshots!"

On the surface, V5's mid and jungle have a significant early-game advantage, leading by 1K gold.

However, Yone, who only recently acquired Berserker's Greaves and Noon Quiver, even with decent items, is barely stronger in team fights than Azir with similar gold and experience—this is determined by the champion's inherent attributes. In other words, V5's current lead doesn't provide much real combat power.

But on the DK side, there is a genuine god at this very moment.

Crocodile!

Although Siwoo's Renekton seemed quiet at the beginning, Vi, who had a disastrous start, was still able to reach level six before the Vanguard team fight because the threat from the top lane helped her reclaim the jungle.

And crocodiles are practically synonymous with the Vanguard Regiment!
But V5 didn't want to give up this vanguard for nothing.

After all, the rhythm of a double marksman bot lane is completely different with and without the Rift Herald, and V5's summer split system has always relied heavily on the bot lane's tower pushing rhythm, which is their consistent playstyle.

"I'll just go for it, this guy's too cowardly!" The crocodile, who had no way to deal with Quesanti in the top lane, got up and headed for the Rift Herald.

The three players from both sides, including mid, jungle, and support, entered from the lower half of the river. The Renekton pressed down directly without fully pushing the minion wave.

However, as soon as the crocodile moved, Quesanti followed suit. When the crocodile turned around to attack, Quesanti immediately turned around and pulled away.

The two of them looked like they were dancing the cha-cha.

“Quisanti probably wants to come with me, so we might give him a chance! Should we arrest him first?” the young Siwoo said, unable to contain himself.

"No, we need to save our skills for Yone!" Xu Xiu said with a clear goal in mind. "Be careful not to get dragged into the tower by this hero!"

"Don't worry! He can't take me away!"

Siwoo's words were full of confidence, clearly indicating that he wasn't following his older brother's instructions and wanted to try to do it himself.

It can only be said that Xu Xiu really understands Quesanti. Just by seeing Quesanti holding a Q3 in his hand, he knew that the other party wanted to try to break the crocodile directly under the first tower by the river wall.

That's exactly what Flandre thought too.

If it were the previous Quesanti, Renekton would never have dared to come through the river to pressure the position like this—a hard-to-prevent Q3 flash shockwave to knock him back, then E to dash in front of the opponent, W to push back instantly, and R to pull Renekton under the tower!
However, this version of Quesanti can no longer use Q-flash and can only attack normally. Unfortunately, his slow attack animation makes him easy to dodge.

Upon seeing the crocodile, he turned around and used Q to harass it. Quesanti seized the opportunity and used EW to get close to the crocodile's face to try to push it back, but the second part of W could not be used immediately!

The minimum charge time required to release the attack was easily bypassed by the crocodile's E [Charge], and the second stage of the E was refreshed by the Quesant rushing towards him, accelerating him towards the front line of the battlefield!

On the contrary, Quesanti, since W can no longer change its direction, continues to crash backward!

A moment.

The crocodile used its body as bait to not only quickly approach the battlefield with its double E abilities, but also tricked Quesanti into using all his skills.

The top laners on both sides are now positioned very differently!

"Can we open it? Can we open it? Open any one!" Swioo shouted urgently.

"I come!"

Jungler Luicd reacted extremely quickly, already charging up his Q inside the dragon pit.

Because Xu Xiu had been saying "Watch out for Yone, watch out for Yone!", Vi punched out of the dragon pit and immediately used her ultimate to lock down Yone!

He wasn't worried at all about the opponent using control cancellation or similar tactics—after all, the Prince R next to him also had control cancellation abilities, and could even be used by the opponent to separate the battlefield. Vi would be foolish enough to send herself into the opponent's mouth.

Wei's goal was simply to keep the three of them in place, not to actually take control.

Anyway, the crocodile will definitely arrive first. V5's players lack burst damage, and even if Vi breaks away and gets focused down, it will take time. Meanwhile, Poppy and Malzahar can catch up immediately!

If Malzahar flashes to R, he will only become an easy target; only Vi can keep the enemy in place.

Luicd's thinking was correct; he had even anticipated that it would be controlled and neutralized.

Yone did indeed immediately move backward using his E ability.

But he didn't stop; he continued walking backward.
"Master Ye, what's going on?"

"what!?"

Yone used his E to leap over the wall, then took two steps back—and unleashed [Sealed Dust Slash] "inside the wall" of his own mid-lane Tier 1 tower!
The next moment, the sword energy trajectory, which had only barely penetrated half of the wall, seemed to have pierced a tunnel inside the wall.

But he managed to "squeeze" Yong-eun through the wall!
In the blink of an eye.

Yongen then returned to the foot of his own tower from the river entrance!
More importantly, he also had two red threads attached to his body.

One is the chain connecting the spirit body to the [Breakthrough Edge], and the other is the locking chain of the [Heavenly Overlord's Fierce Bombardment].

Followed by.

The aerial vehicle was also in hot pursuit.
"Oh no! Yone's using himself as bait too! Vi's going to be taken to the tower!!!"

"Master Ye not only made a show of force to defuse the opponent's attempt to drive through, but he also managed to reduce one of his own men!"

"Yone needs to coordinate with the turret to secure the kill after landing! DK needs to launch a direct attack from the front!"

In fact, Xu Xiu knew something was wrong as soon as she saw that strange scene, and shouted "Retreat, retreat, retreat" in the voice chat.

But Swioo showed the fearlessness of a newborn calf, and flashed over the wall with his W to forcefully bite the prince behind him!
As it turns out, he was right.

Because if we retreat directly, we'll be selling our jungler for nothing. Although we can minimize the losses, we'll definitely lose the Rift in a 3v4 situation without a jungler.

Although Yone managed to lure Vi away, he didn't actually use E2's control cancellation to return to the fight because Vi still had Flash. Instead, he waited under the tower for Vi to kill him first.

This means that the main battle is still a 2v3 situation with fewer players.

Seeing the crocodile attack, Xu Xiu could only follow up with the second stage of his ultimate skill to lock it down and control it.

Fortunately, the policewoman immediately blocked the path with a trap to limit the pursuit. Before the prince was about to die from being focused by the three, he decisively used EQR to unleash the Cataclysm, trapping the three pursuers and dealing all the damage!
Yone, who had killed Vi head-on, had already returned to the battlefield in spirit form.

Although it was a 1-for-1 trade, and DK clearly used too many skills to kill the prince, DK still seemed to have the advantage on the field!

The reason still lies with that crocodile!
The reason why the crocodile is the "King of Teamfights in the Rift" is because the 8-minute mark is the peak of his attributes—his ultimate ability directly grants him 1000 gold worth of {Giant's Belt} health, plus the continuous effect of Sunfire Cape, and a constant supply of rage.

Combined with the healing from the Red Fury Q, it's practically invincible during this time of low damage output!

However, if we're just talking about tankiness, champions like Quesant, Sion, and Ornn aren't any worse than him.

The problem is:
At this point, the crocodile is not only invincible, but it can even kill someone instantly with a counterattack!

"Holy Gun! Move the alligator away!"

Upon hearing the command, Quesanti decisively used Flash to adjust his position, forcefully pulling the crocodile away and pushing it into the jungle wall, regardless of its direction.

Yone, who had already charged up his {Lethal Tempo}, unleashed a flurry of attacks from the front!

Neither of the two support players would abandon their mid-lane carry.

Without his ultimate ability, Malzahar's combat power is worrisome, and without Flash to create distance, he can only turn around and try to kill the policewoman!

Delight once again demonstrated decisive skill usage, not saving his W for Yone, who was destined to be unstoppable, and instead using Flash W to stop Caitlyn just as she was about to retreat and use her E!

"Master Ye is hacking Brother Xu to pieces! Brother Xu is going to be in trouble!"

"But Malzahar gave his last E to Caitlyn before he died, and together with Poppy, they managed to kill him—but even then, Poppy was still chased down and killed by Yone!"

"The crocodile that had eaten the human head was obviously no longer able to kill Quesanti, but Quesanti did not continue the pursuit."

"The two sides ended up trading two for three, and the battle for the Rift Herald had to be temporarily suspended. But we must note that Yone from V5 got a triple kill!"

"This is definitely not good news for the DK!"
