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

Chapter 377 Parallel Seven Words! Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Piercing Sword Qi"! The Ten-Mile Sword God of the Canyon!

"T1's attack in the bottom half of the map failed, and the Rift Herald was also lost!"

Lee Sang-hyeok noticed that the bot lane hadn't completed the tower dive, and then saw Yone emerge from below him, clearly puzzled.

"How could they not have been killed?"

The three bot laners also looked confused, while Zeus in the top lane had just been suffering in sync. Yone's incident happened from a god's-eye view, so no one knew what had happened.

After helping his teammates secure the Rift Herald, the Crocodile immediately teleported to the bottom lane, showing no fear even when facing three opponents.

It's obvious they're not even giving us a chance to change the plating!
This is also the purpose of choosing crocodiles.

It seems that actively picking Renekton and then switching lanes to the bottom lane to "suffer" is somewhat inconsistent with the characteristics of Renekton as an early-to-mid-game laning champion.

But the truth is, V5 itself only used the crocodile as a "tool".

What we want is its strong early-game stats to prevent tower diving, and even if it is targeted and killed while tower diving, it still has strong combat power and effectiveness when it comes to dragons and resource team fights.

This is exactly the same idea behind T1's choice of Quesanti—only because Quesanti was taken by the opponent, V5 used Crocodile as a "replacement".

"Get out of there quickly, we can't get past this wave!"

The three-man bot lane duo, unwilling to give up, immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as they made a move against the Renekton who had been ganked down.

In terms of tankiness, there are certainly tankier monsters than the crocodile with the same equipment.

But there are really few champions that are harder to tower dive than the crocodile!

The Blade of the Ruined King, who was tanking the tower, wanted to make a move after receiving a timely rescue, but was then attacked by the Crocodile's Red Fury W, who unleashed a barrage of skills, instantly reducing his health to less than half and rendering him unable to fight. He could only retreat with the help of crowd control.

However, T1's bot lane couldn't tower dive, their top lane was about to lose its first tower, and Yone was defending the mid lane alone.

That means we won't get anything this time!
"The first tower is about to be destroyed after the Herald is placed there, and the bottom lane trio doesn't seem to dare to attack the Renekton. The situation is very passive for T1!"

"Wait a minute. Gnar revived and teleported to his own bottom tower. It seems like T1 is going to attack again!"

Lee Sang-hyeok, positioned in the middle lane, quickly spoke after observing the situation through the screen.

"Cui Youqi, you teleport down here. I'll keep an eye on Yongen!"

The resurrected Nar makes a variation.

TP returned to his own bottom lane turret, waiting for an opportunity to attack the crocodile under the turret.

Meanwhile, Quesanti in the mid lane started pushing the lane aggressively, preventing Yone from having a chance to teleport to support.

Ye Bo noticed something unusual from the opponent's positioning, quickly switched screens using F/123 to examine the map, and discovered that the opponent's bottom lane seemed to be "stockpiling minions," which immediately made him realize something.

"Gun Bro might be going to cross you!"

Although Gnar has not yet appeared and taken his place.

But once the four players are in position, with Gnar tanking the tower and Lena providing timely support, plus a large wave of minions, even a well-farmed Renekton will find it difficult to stand under the tower!
The crocodile had already accomplished its mission by holding back four opponents in a major battle.

Upon hearing the warning, Li Xuanjun immediately made a move to abandon the tower and retreat!

But then I saw the situation.

On the contrary, T1's three bot laners were just a little overconfident.

Their plan was that their top laner would lose their first tower soon, and Gnar would have already teleported down, allowing the Rift Herald to continue pushing and still threaten the second tower.

If they only exchange turret plates in the bot lane, once Yone and Teng come out to help Renekton defend the tower, they definitely won't be able to threaten V5's second bot lane tower. It's a loss no matter how you look at it!
Most people would agree that this is indeed the case: only by killing the crocodile can one force the opponent to defend.

But the importance of "critical decisions" at critical moments is once again highlighted.

In fact, as the disadvantaged party, it is impossible to pursue a decision that is "purely profitable" in the first place, because the other party is not stupid!

Being able to achieve a 4/6 exchange rate is already a huge profit!

If T1 can simply swap the bottom tower, Quesanti can TP back to defend his own top second tower, and then send the bottom laners back to defend the mid tower. In the end, they will only lose two or three plating layers.

It's a 4/6 exchange situation!
This was also the scenario that Lee Sang-hyeok had just envisioned.

Unfortunately, Quesanti was currently engaged in close combat with Yone and had no energy to observe the changes in the bottom lane.

Keria, the "secondary commander" of T1, didn't think that far ahead and ordered the team to attack the crocodile.

"Keep him!"

Aunt Youxi heard her partner's command and immediately used her R Poké Ball to launch Lena Tower over the turret to keep the enemy in place—because the Ruined King had been weakened by the Crocodile in the previous wave and could not keep the enemy in place on its own.

But Flandre is just a steady player; he's not made of clay.

They never back down when faced with an opportunity!
The crocodile, running back with its head down, didn't use Flash to dodge the Poké Ball that was thrown at it. Instead, it suddenly turned around, Flashed, and charged at the turret, using its W and R reset animation to bite the Skateboard as it stepped into the turret!
"Holy Gun Bro has launched a surprise attack!" the commentators exclaimed in astonishment.

Auntie Youxi reacted quickly, using Cleanse to instantly remove the damage and Flash to pull herself out of the tower, avoiding being hit by the Renekton's full combo.

Little did he know that the crocodile didn't even notice him.

After WR cancels the W animation, the crocodile smoothly uses E to dash towards the minion wave under the tower behind him. Then, with his red-rage Q fully charged, he uses the second E to clear the wave of minions that had been piled up under the tower in the blink of an eye!
There are no more minions tanking the tower.

Not only do they take 1-2 extra hits when entering the tower, but more importantly, they can no longer use "stopping midway and switching tanks" to kite the opponent, making tower diving much more difficult, and waiting for the next wave of minions will take extra time!
Not to mention that Crocodile's Q also provided a full recovery and further reduced the opponent's health.

"Can it be crossed?" Oner asked the crucial question.

"Let's go beyond, let's wait for Youqi to take the next wave of the line," Keria was still full of enthusiasm.

Upon hearing the noise, Lee Sang-hyeok quickly switched screens and shouted, "What are you guys doing? Just push the tower if you want!"

After taking a hit from the Jade Slash, his screen turned red. He immediately used the spacebar to switch back to the view, not daring to be distracted again.

Again.

Commanding is ultimately just "commanding," not controlling.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly. Lee Sang-hyeok can help his teammates come up with ideas for switching lanes and attacking, and Ye Bo can remind the top laner of the opponent's intentions—but how the battlefield develops in the end is beyond the control of the commander.

But Lee Sang-hyeok had to clean up his teammates' messes at this point.

Although Quesanti's health was already below half, he knew very well that if he retreated now, Yone would be immediately freed up—at that time, the four members of his own bot lane, who were also in poor condition, would be separated by the turret.

Once Yone surrounds or teleports down, it could very well be a major game-changer!

Quesanti, who had already pulled away, resolutely turned around, used his E to unleash the shockwave of his Q3 [Peerless Spin Axe], and slammed it towards Yone, preparing to counterattack!
Just as the shockwave was about to collide, Yone turned around and used Q3 [Misaligned Jade Slash] to whirlwind back.

A hard-hit knockback cancels out a backhand slash that unleashes a whirlwind!

However, Quesanti was clearly prepared for this move. He raised his arm with W, using {Unstoppable} to cancel the knock-up while preparing to counter-charge and control Yone.

"Faker and YE are both making plays!"

"Is the mid laner going to get a solo kill?!"

Lee Sang-hyeok's intentions are very clear.

He wanted to stun Yone with W, then instantly flash behind him and use his ultimate to pull Yone into the tower—even if he couldn't kill Yone, he could at least cripple him, preventing the enemy from supporting the bottom lane.

But after landing, Yone stood there in a daze for a moment.

Then he unleashed his ultimate move, the "Sealed Dust Severing Slash," directly at the opponent's face!
Seeing this, Lee Sang-hyeok reacted just as quickly, pressing the W key again to extend the {Unstoppable} effect of W!

however.

The moment when Yone was "dazed" became the fatal key.

Because Quesanti's W has the shortest charge time after the rework, Ye Bo is not worried at all that Quesanti will release W and stun him in the first 0.66 seconds, so he can confidently use R as a follow-up move.

However, during the "dash" phase, {Quisanti W does not have an unstoppable effect and cannot use "Flash"}.

Ye Bo had precisely calculated the time difference between the opponent's W's stun and his own R.

Quesanti watched Yon's movements on his face, but couldn't dodge them even slightly!
—Just as Quesanti took a half-step forward with his hand, Yone's Sealed Dust Slash was already fully charged.

"Quisanti's W was interrupted! But Yone's ultimate also rushed into the tower!"

In a moment of slight panic, Lee Sang-hyeok immediately saw an opportunity.

Before landing, his fingers kept pounding the RRRRR key, trying to pull Yone, who had already used his ultimate to rush into the tower and didn't have his E outside, deep under the tower with his R!

If he can succeed, Quesanti, who also has Flash, will definitely be able to solo kill the opponent!

But then gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Why!?"

"Why did I break it there?!"

Just as Quesanti landed and was about to lock onto Yonne with his axe, a golden light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Lee Sang-hyeok realized something, but the skill had already been activated.

It's too late.

The next moment, Yone, who had adjusted his position with a flash, was grabbed by Quesant—but not towards the tower, but straight out of the F6 wall passageway that Yone had "misled" him into turning towards!

Quesanti also "sent" himself out of the tower along with Yongen!
The two figures seemed to draw two parallel "7" shapes in the air!
Quesanti tried to Flash away, but Yone had his E skill available to chase him down.

He chased the enemy to the tower and sheathed his sword.

Yone detonated the immense sword energy within Quesanti's body, ultimately securing his life!

"Solo kill!!!" Guan Zeyuan roared passionately, "This was all a gamble!"

"Faker initiated the attack, and after a series of brilliant strategic exchanges between the two sides, Ye Shifu managed to turn the tables and secure a solo kill!"

Wang Duoduo quickly and excitedly explained: "Moreover, in this last wave, the prediction that the opponent would immediately use their ultimate to lock on upon landing, so the half-step Flash to adjust the position and ultimately pull them out of the tower, is a gamble that can only be described as highly skilled and daring!"

[Has Dafei gone mad? He'd already left, why did he have to turn back and attack?]

[I was just about to say that Feifei is willing to play this kind of hero even though he's getting old, but it seems he's still not convinced and wants to prove he's not old yet with a solo kill?]

[There's no way around it, Master Ye knows Quesanti too well! Doesn't he even know who developed the mid-lane Quesanti?!]

[Indeed, I would believe you if you told me that Quesanti performed his chest-breaking stunt at Master Ye's house every day!]

[To be honest, I would have won this fight if I had gone in, because my reaction time was slow. I would have paused for a moment after landing before using my ultimate, which would have made Yone's flash into a joke~~~]

[So, you're a noob who can beat a pro, huh?]

[Feifei, stop feeding! Your teammates aren't killing as many as you are feeding!]

No one in the chat seemed to understand the real reason behind this, and most of them were mocking the mid laner, thinking that the mid laner had given away a huge advantage.

Meanwhile, good news finally came from the bottom lane. After the bloody battle, Yone naturally couldn't go to the bottom lane again, and the crocodile surrounded by four people had no reason to escape.

Unfortunately, the previous two consecutive kills on the crocodile consumed too many skills and resources, and the crocodile still managed to trade kills with Gnar, who was tanking the tower, before dying, resulting in a 1-for-1 trade.

Although T1 managed to push down the bottom lane tower without any defense, their own mid lane tower was also wide open! In the end, they lost more than they gained!
"I really have to say something in Sang-hyeok's defense. He definitely had to go in this wave, otherwise Yone would have been freed up to go to the bottom lane and things might have gone awry. It's just a pity he didn't manage to get a kill."

"Absolutely, absolutely. From that spot just now, this mid-lane fight was basically helping the bot-lane die."

Bang and Wolf on stage clearly understood the real reason and were explaining to the chat what Quesanti's idea was, wanting to demonstrate the consequences if Yone hadn't been stopped in the mid lane.

But in the comments, it seemed like T1 staff were just defending their teammates!

The main issue is that the economic gap between the two sides in this exchange has widened to 3.5K, making their disadvantage extremely obvious and even showing signs of being unable to stop the bleeding.

All LCK fans felt extremely anxious!
The effects of the cable replacement are also quietly taking place.

Gnar has been consistently suppressed by the bot lane, and has become a position similar to "sacrifice".

This resulted in T1 losing one of their two advantageous lanes—and more importantly, their next crucial "single lane push" strategy completely lost its support!
Although Zeus and Ye Bo had previously suffered defeats in singles, they are still T1's most reliable player, and this has proven effective in the Asian Games.

But Nar is at such a disadvantage now.

Going to a lane to find an advantage for Yone is absolutely suicide!
The same applies to Quesanti, who also suffered during the early stages of the lane switch.

In other words, T1's only option right now is to continue using the 'only advantageous lane' with two marksmen in the bottom lane and keep trying to split push against Yone.

The only advantage is that if you go to the side lane to split push, there's no room for maneuver on the front.
That's a stubborn approach that blocks both ends!

We've reached the middle stage.

Crocodile, Prince, and Senna are all combinations with extremely strong ability to seize opportunities in the early and mid-game, and they can launch continuous attacks after gaining an advantage.

However, T1 was clearly much more resilient than DK, making no mistakes in lane switching and scheduling, and did not suffer a complete collapse.

Unfortunately, the impact of the lane swap is still unfolding. Although the kill ratio doesn't seem to be that big, the economic gap is gradually widening.

"V5's lane swap in this game can only be described as a lesson for all of us. They achieved the most ideal effect from the lane swap." Roaring Emperor's tone couldn't hide his shock.

"This is definitely a secret weapon they've been preparing for a long time!"

The two T1 henchmen beside him remained silent.

But judging from their expressions, you can tell that they think the same thing.

Ultimately, the ideal outcome of the lane swapping strategy is simply to give an advantage to lanes where one's team shouldn't have one, and to maintain an advantage on lanes where one should have one, while simultaneously preventing the opponent from gaining an advantage on lanes where they should have one.

V5 has absolutely exceeded their goals in this match!
If I had to say something, the match clearly showed the gap between T1 and DK in the previous game.

Both teams were facing an "operational impasse," but T1 managed to unite the entire team through their well-organized teamwork, preventing the gap from being quickly opened up.

If it weren't for V5's lineup in this match, which was so strong in the early game, they might have actually been able to find an opportunity for the opponent.

However, the situation is actually showing signs of being dragged out!

Fortunately, even the most disciplined teams cannot stop the threat of "Resource Rhythm".

22 minutes.

V5, with their lightning-fast rhythm, arrived at the Dragon Pit, preparing to launch an attack on the Water Dragon Soul.

"It'll be very difficult if we release the water dragon. We're not a late-game composition, and if we release it, we'll be even less able to win in a head-on team fight!" Keria reminded us.

Lee Sang-hyeok was certainly aware of the stakes involved.

Those who understand this strategy clearly know that the only options are to either give up directly or engage in a head-on battle.

There is absolutely no option to "let the jungler steal it"!

The logic is simple: the Baron Nashor is still alive in the upper half of the map. If the jungler is simply sent to try to steal the Baron, even if V5 makes a major defensive mistake and it is stolen, the jungler will inevitably die.

If you manage to steal a dragon, you might end up losing the big dragon as a result. Everyone knows which is more important.

"Come on, let's go together."

"Listen to me, just focus on Yone, charge at his face together first," Lee Sang-hyeok began to devise a battle plan: "Tahm Kench's ultimate will most likely be saved for Yone, I'll find an opportunity to use my ultimate on Tahm Kench who has swallowed Yone!"

"The enemy can only rely on Prince to initiate. If they try to force an engagement, Lena's ultimate can interrupt it in time. If we kite them, their fighting power will be severely limited!"

Lee Sang-hyeok's battle plan is very clear. It can be said that as long as it can be perfectly implemented, even if they are currently far behind, they are not without a chance.

Although many of the steps are obviously quite difficult just by looking at them.

But what's most impressive about V5 is this kind of "unscientific team fight"—T1 is obviously just as good at it, which is why they've pulled off more than one comeback with a "10,000 gold" deficit.

Everyone waits with bated breath.

But when the T1 players carefully positioned themselves and entered their own bottom jungle, they only saw a frog standing alone on the dragon pit, walking back and forth like a patrolman.

What is that toad doing?

His actions clearly indicated that he was "keeping an eye on" the jungler and didn't want the opponent to get close to the dragon pit.

The problem is that the toad is alone and doesn't have instantaneous teleportation.

Did V5 think they would only send the jungler to try, so they just had the support stand in the pit?
"Take a look at the Dragon Pit, be careful of ambushes!" Lee Sang-hyeok shouted.

Blue lights appeared inside the dragon pit, revealing that the opponent had already started attacking the dragon, and the figures of the other four were also present.

This moment.

The T1 players seemed to feel they had a chance to appear.

At this point, the walls of the small dragon pit have become a natural terrain barrier, separating V5's formation.

Even if most of the V5 lineup members have the ability to pass through walls, as long as one person cannot freely pass through walls, their output will inevitably be restricted in the fight!
In addition, this narrow terrain is also an advantage area for T1, where Gnar and Lena can perform perfectly and are not afraid of the opponent's five people flashing in to fight!

"V5's formation seems to be disjointed!!" Roaring Emperor's voice was full of surprise: "Gamabunta doesn't have Flash! He can only W down the wall, but T1 can't let him get down there!"

"T1's prolonged stalemate seems to have finally found an opportunity! If they win this round, they'll have the resources to drag the game out!"

"Moreover, it's really not easy to force your way into the V5 position, there's a wall separating us!"

V5's long-range initiation strategy is nothing more than Jarvan IV's Flash EQ R — relying on Yone's R to initiate a team fight is obviously unrealistic.

The reason why Yone isn't very popular in the competition is largely due to the restriction mechanism of his ultimate ability {which automatically 'reveals vision' when used within range}.

Although the 1-second pre-cast time is not long, it is more than enough for professional players, and a naked R attack will almost always be dodged.

Unless it's that incredible "airborne start" that Poppy used her ultimate move before.
"Sang-hyeok, you're as cunning as a toad!" Keria promptly warned.

Lee Sang-hyeok immediately and decisively decided: "Open!"

If they kill or cripple the frog first, V5 will lose a strong defensive point—T1 will be more likely to focus fire on Yone!

If Ruined King can pick up Yone's corpse, the power balance between the two sides will instantly reverse!

Quesanti leads the charge, with Gnar and Blade of the Ruined King close behind, and Lenata ready to unleash her ultimate to force the enemy back.
but.

Just then, the toad, facing the five men who were about to charge at its face, appeared.

But then he suddenly did something strange again.

He seemed to turn his head and open his mouth towards the bottom of the dragon pit through the wall, then immediately dived down into the Abyss as if to escape.

The T1 members vaguely felt that something was off.

Before they could even react.

The next moment—an invisible, buzzing sword aura suddenly exploded silently before our eyes!
"what!?"

"What's this!!!"

The five people who wanted to chase the toad lined up in the jungle passage, but were perfectly covered by the [Sealed Dust Slash] that swept out from nowhere.

Five figures inexplicably flew high into the air!

The invisible blades of the twin swords brought the five of them together!
It was like unleashing a sword aura that pierced through the air!
Following closely behind was [Abyss Dive], which emerged from beneath their feet, covering the spot and protruding like a toad's head—flipping the five people again and sending them flying twice!
In an instant, three things flashed and bloomed beneath the dragon pit.

The Demacian flag, colliding with the giant dragon, caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split. It rampaged and tore wildly through the crowd, and the flames of the shadowy prairie covered the entire territory!

The swordsman "hidden" inside the belly, though wielding his sword "remotely," still entered the arena in a belly-shaped boat.

Upon landing, it emerged and swiftly wielded its twin blades!
As the sword hilt returned to its sheath.

Five corpses lay scattered across the wilderness.

No one expected that V5 would break the deadlock in this situation, and T1's defense, which had held for 22 minutes, was completely breached and torn apart!

The nearly 10,000 spectators inside the venue instantly erupted in cheers.

Meanwhile, the LPL commentary booth erupted in cheers and screams.

"Perfect combo! It's a perfect combo!! That looks like a combination attack from Gamabunta and Yone!!!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Guan Zeyuan shouted repeatedly, "Is this even possible?!"

"One sword pierces two thousand six thousand armor, this is the realm of a terrestrial immortal, truly the sword god of the ten miles of canyon!" Wang Duoduo spontaneously sang and shouted.

"Even T1 can't escape this tragic scene! And after this wave, there are still the Baron and Dragon, so T1 will have absolutely no chance!"

Meanwhile, on the commentary stand at the home stadium...

The Roaring Emperor clutched his head and screamed in shock, not knowing why the situation had changed so drastically in the blink of an eye.

The other two were so dazed that they didn't even realize what was happening.

"Pisa!!!"

"Why is it happening like that!"

The chat channels of major global sporting events broadcasts were flooded with messages multiple times.

Holy crap, this team fight was so awesome!

[I slashed open his belly with one sword!]

[A true "Charge! Towards! Stomach! Fierce! Charge!"]

[Although he's handsome, why does it inexplicably resemble a character from Iron Fan Poppy who's had too much food, blowing the other person up to the sky with a fart?]

[↑Damn it, after you described my exhilarating combo, the whole arena suddenly smells weird?]

[This feels a bit like Silas stealing Yone's "Glide Move" in last year's finals. Is it possible that Master Ye got his inspiration from that time? Holy crap, so he's been hiding this move for a whole year!]

A perfect team fight with zero kills and five wins, followed by the Dragon Soul and Baron Nashor.

The T1 fans in the stands looked utterly devastated, their faces ashen and unrecognizable.

The outcome of the match was clearly no longer in doubt.

With 27 minutes and 57 seconds remaining in the game, T1 players looked like helpless husbands in front of V5, who were carrying the Elder Dragon Soul, and could only watch as the opponent smashed their base into a sky full of fireworks!
