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

Chapter 383 Civilian Ninjutsu! The terror of CN's "Urban Legends"!
"Although I don't know what G2 means, it's clear that lane swaps are very important for their lineup in the early game, especially level 1 lane swaps!"

Cassiopeia and Sett are clearly no match for a double marksman duo in lane, or rather, even a normal bot lane duo rarely beats a double marksman duo.

G2 clearly has its own ideas as well.

Just as the minion wave stepped out from in front of the high ground gate, an eagle spirit formed of frost shot out from the distant horizon at an angle, flying towards the lower part of the map and illuminating the entire field of vision.

In an instant, G2's opening intentions were revealed!

The blue team's bot lane only had Galio, while Cassiopeia and Sett were quietly standing behind the mid lane tower!

"Ashe's E skill directly detected G2's lane swap intention! This allows V5's bot laner, who was standing in the middle of the river, to rotate to mid, and the duo lanes are now facing off again!"

"So in this way, it looks like the mid laners have switched to the bottom lane, but it also looks like they haven't!"

The mid laners on both sides have become bottom laners, and the duo lanes are still the same duo lanes.

This is bad news for G2.

What they really want to see is a normal matchup between the top laner Renekton, a duo laner dominating Akali in the mid lane, and Galio going to the bottom lane, who is already under pressure.
Fortunately, G2 didn't expect V5 to stand still and let them switch lanes, and they weren't actually that concerned about the outcome of the lane swap.

This is precisely one of the characteristics of G2's lineup.

As an "all-warrior" lineup, aside from the top lane where it's also a warrior vs. warrior environment where there's a high probability of having an advantage, the other lanes are inherently difficult during the laning phase, and can only wait for resource team fights.

So to put it bluntly, even if the lane swap failed, or even if it was a more disastrous outcome, it would still be acceptable for G2's lineup.

This alone shows that this system does have some unique features, which is in stark contrast to the conventional system in the previous game, which would be wiped out as soon as the lane swap failed.

The director's view was directed at the bottom lane.

"Master Ye used the Prestige skin in this game!" GuGu's perspective was unique: "Before Master Ye used Akali last time, the 'Candle Dragon' Prestige FMVP skin actually had a higher pick rate, but after that game, it was very obvious that the original 'Tengshe' skin was used more often."

Wang Duoduo said with a smile, "Master Ye probably wants to seize this hard-won opportunity to use it at least once. But to be fair, the special effects of the premium version are indeed more impressive."

In the first two laning phases, the commentators even had some free time to chat about skins.

However, the conversation abruptly ended when the two sides reached the third level.

It's just that the laning phase in the bottom lane doesn't look peaceful.

Caps is no longer the peak European maestro he was four years ago. His performance has declined significantly—but his mentality and temper haven't decreased much. He's still not convinced!

But in Ye Bo's eyes...

He only felt that the other person's movements were too slow.

Whether it's the subtle positioning, the decisiveness of skill release, or the neatness of combo execution, I feel there's a significant difference between him and many of the top mid-laners I've faced.

In fact, while Galio is well-known as a counter to Akali, his main counters are his W taunt breaking through the Twilight Shroud and protecting the carry in team fights against assassins.

If we're just talking about laning phase, especially in the early game, it's hard to say that Galio has any way to counter Akali.

It will be easier to fight once you have some tanky equipment.

In a fierce close-quarters exchange of blows, Akali always managed to maintain distance from Galio, constantly harassing him with her Q-A combo and her Q skill, which has no mana cost and a short cooldown.

In the eyes of an onlooker.

The matchup between the two melee heroes really felt like a "ranged vs. melee" game!

Caps, covered in bumps on his head, suddenly remembered that he had an important "mission" to perform.

But then he suddenly realized...

The Q skills I just used all "precisely" hit the minion wave, and some even pushed it to the minion lane.
This is perfectly fine in the mid lane; in fact, it's how it should be played.

However, there were significant problems with the situation and tactics in this match where the lines were switched!
The reason for this is that Akali has been deliberately creating space for the opponent to use her Q, just like performing "body-guided" attacks!
The enemy's two marksmen secured control of the mid lane, putting immense pressure on their own bot lane. Both junglers were forced to stay close by and unable to come and help clear the lane.

"Caps, remember to keep an eye on the line. There's still a little over a minute left. My line is ready to go at any moment."

BB made a sound from the top lane, but after switching screens and seeing the laning situation, he spoke up nervously.

"What? Don't get solo killed!"

Little Hat shrugged: "Don't rush, it's impossible."

In European culture, there is almost no emphasis on seniority. Even if BB is a relative newcomer, he can still call Caps, the "God of the Region," by name.

However, Xiao Mao knew he had an important mission in this situation, and finally began to behave himself and act slyly.

But what he didn't know was.

Ye Bo on the other side had already noticed something was wrong.

As an assassin, you must always pay attention to every detail of your prey.

Ye Bo noticed that Galio suddenly changed his laning strategy around the four-minute mark.

The Q skill seems to be deliberately misfired, only hitting one or two minions each time. It looks like the player wants to let the wave go, but it also seems like the player doesn't want to let the wave go immediately and get pushed to the tower.

Ye Bo pressed TAB to observe the lineups of both sides on the scoreboard, and then looked at the movements of both sides on the minimap.

His mind was racing.

"Xunzi, you go first."

A series of commands and arrangements were made.

Akali in the bottom lane suddenly pushed forward aggressively, initiating a fierce trade of blows. At the maximum range, she used her Q (passive ability) to pick up the Dragon's Mark and press forward with menacing force!
Caps immediately focused intently on the spinning gold-green ring blade in his opponent's hand.

That's Akali's passive ability, Dragon's Mark, which involves a continuous shaking motion until the passive is triggered.

And just as he saw Akali close in and raise her hand...

The green ring blade disappeared.

Cpas immediately pressed the W key he was desperately holding onto!

He knew that Akali's passive basic attack range was 250 yards, which would be exactly beyond Galio's W's initial range, causing her to miss her W combo.
However, it is also known that Akali's passive attack is a "forced attack," meaning that once the attack command is issued, she cannot "interrupt" the basic attack using methods such as S or movement, and there is a forced standstill after the attack animation—of course, the opponent cannot dodge it using any movement skill either.
Therefore, Cpas only needs to wait for Akali to trigger this passive, and he will definitely be able to absorb the fully charged W, making it impossible for Akali to complete the follow-up chase!

But then Xiao Mao's eyes suddenly widened.

"WTF?"

He was certain that he saw Akali start with a basic attack, and that the swaying ring blade in her hand did indeed disappear for a moment, which is why he immediately pressed W to start charging.

But just as Akali was swinging her blade through the air, she suddenly and strangely "spinned in place," interrupting her auto-attack, and instantly pulled out a bowl of "ramen" from behind her.
That's right.

While pressing S or using A to move on the ground cannot interrupt Akali's passive forced basic attack, Ctrl+1, the "dance taunt" action key, can!

And there is no "stiff" after-swing, and no cost whatsoever!
Aside from the slightly comical movements, it's definitely a technique at the level of "civilian ninjutsu"!
The stone statue's wings appeared to be only half a step away from the assassin's body, but they only inhaled the surrounding air, rendering the crucial life-saving skill useless.

"Galio seems to have been thrown off balance? His taunt has been drained!"

"And when Akali tried to use her E to pull away, she flashed and blocked it with her body!"

"Why doesn't Caps leave when he's so low on health!"

Caps, realizing the situation was dire, immediately used his E to try and create distance, but Akali flashed and blocked it with her body, then closed in and landed a passive AE at point-blank range.

Perfect skill combos maximize the damage a hero can inflict!
At the same time, this E skill retreated backwards in the opposite direction under the tower, directly blocking Galio's retreat.

"Oh no!!"

The bottom lane is different from the mid lane; you can't just retreat two steps and walk into the tower, especially if the minion wave situation is bad, you can easily be chased all the way to the end.

Because of the Falcon Dance buff, Galio couldn't pull away even with Flash.

Akali the Conqueror grew stronger with each battle.

The mistake of trading blows in the early stages became a foreshadowing of his downfall. His already unhealthy health bar dropped rapidly during the chase, and he ultimately met his end at the tower!
"A solo kill in the bottom lane! First blood achieved in less than five minutes!!!"

[Old hat's too small, but it's okay, getting solo killed by Akali doesn't count as a solo kill!]

[Why are they even using Ctrl1 now? How the hell is that possible?! How many games do you have to play before you figure this out?]

Now I finally understand what "practice makes perfect" means. Master Ye has absolutely mastered Akali's secrets; I dare say even designers don't understand Akali as well as he does!

[A detailed explanation of how an iron pestle can be ground into a needle]

[I was there. The Europeans and Americans still don't seem to know their own limitations when it comes to Akali. They were still taunting her before the match. I suggest they step up their game in this one!]

There was a moment of silence in the G2 voice chat.

Awkward Caps looked at the minion wave in the bottom lane, but suddenly spoke up again quickly: "No, BB! You can still teleport, he's pushing the lane!" Logically speaking, Galio's respawn time in the early game is only about ten seconds. Knowing that the opponent has TP, Akali, whose wave pushing speed is not very fast to begin with, has no reason to push the lane.

That would mean G2's "preliminary design" would fall through.

G2's plan was to have the Renekton push the lane quickly around the five-minute mark and then teleport to the bottom lane, while Galio would accumulate two waves of minions in the bottom lane and put them into the tower to "feed" the teleported Renekton.

This means that the crocodile essentially gets two extra waves of minions—which can shorten the time it would normally take to reach level six in a solo lane to exactly five minutes!

G2's lineup is all about "focusing on resource team fights," and they need to recover from any disadvantages in the laning phase through resource team fights.

Furthermore, due to the lack of late-game heroes, the rhythm of the dragon is of paramount importance!
However, if a level 6 crocodile, the only one in the entire game, comes to the bottom lane.

The symbolic meaning is self-evident!

More importantly, because the lane swap at the start of the game failed, G2, who were at a disadvantage in both the mid and bot lanes, had no chance to take the dragon and could only rely on the Renekton.

Akali, however, seemed oblivious to all of this and continued pushing the lane into the tower.
"OK, OK, I'll kick it right away!"

Ignoring Gnar's obstruction, BB forcibly cleared the minion wave despite the harassment, walked back behind the first tower, and patiently waited until the bottom lane minion wave had entered the tower before pressing TP.

but.

It also happened when the purple beam of light lit up.

From behind the jungle, a young girl on horseback, who had been crouching for a long time, suddenly emerged from around the corner and walked towards him, holding a long spear.
"Xun's location!?"

Rui'er stepped forward and used her [Ripple] lance to stun the crocodile that was casting a spell. She immediately turned around, used her E to accelerate away, and then used her W to jump over the wall and escape!

The crocodile whose teleport was interrupted under the tower stood there for a full two seconds.

"We were just saying what Xun was doing camping here, there were no jungle monsters and it was impossible for him to catch the crocodile, and then he just happened to run into a teleport!"

"But is this really just right?"

BB, staring wide-eyed at the screen, had the same question.

Not buddy! ?
Both junglers were constantly supporting the duo in the mid lane, and Renekton's health was always close to full. With Ryle and Gnar not reaching level six, there was absolutely no chance of killing them.

Ruier had absolutely no reason to squat on her own!
No way.

Galio had no choice but to continue teleporting to the bottom lane to farm the wave; he couldn't just let two waves of minions push into the tower.

The crocodile had no choice but to leave the lane again.

But the European audience in the stands were shouting "NO NO NO!" in surprise.

"Is Akali going to assassinate the crocodile?!"

"After returning to base, Akali immediately teleports to the top lane. She has great items and has kills and experience! She can reach level six after a few minions!"

Caught off guard, BB saw Gnar retreating towards the river and assumed that Gnar had immediately backed down after seeing him walk out, so he didn't care at all.

Completely unaware that there was an assassin "enjoying the experience alone" in the bushes next door.

"Akali is level 6 now!!"

[Inner and Outer Kill Chaos] The move begins with the user leaving the ground. The phantom of the Candle Dragon appears behind the user, and the remaining lightning marks on the ground turn into specks of shimmering gold light, directly flashing to the user's front!
Akali's damage output was incredibly high after acquiring the first blood item.

Nar also came out from behind to surround and intercept them!
The crocodile tried to escape with a double E, but the part of the E that he dashed out hit empty air—Akali doesn't have a formulaic RE combo to start with. After R lands, she controls the distance and instantly uses E in the same direction to bounce away when she sees the crocodile using E.

Like two birds flying side by side!

Without reaching level 6 and without returning to base to replenish equipment, even if the crocodile uses Flash, it's impossible to escape Akali's second ultimate!

"The crocodile has been killed!!!" Gu Gu clapped his hands vigorously.

Wang Duoduo continued enthusiastically: "Since the bottom lane is a push lane, Flandre doesn't even need to use Teleport after recalling; he can just walk to the bottom lane and go online!"

"V5 took advantage of a well-timed attack to initiate a lane swap! And G2 had no Teleport left on either the top or bottom lanes! They didn't have a chance to use Teleport to swap lanes for the next six or seven minutes!"

"Within just two minutes, Master Ye launched two consecutive assassinations, directly opening up the situation for V5!"

The atmosphere at the scene gradually rose to a climax.

Countless European viewers covered their temples with their hands, unable to imagine how an Akali could create such a rhythm!
Isn't this hero only good for laning?
The G2 players inside the arena were already getting anxious.

First of all, the dragon is no longer needed. The loss of the first dragon means a delay in the dragon team's rhythm, which is already fatal.

And what about the Rift Herald?
Don't forget that Gnar went to lane and still had TP at that point.

Galio's level 1 ultimate has a range of only 4000 units, meaning he needs to reach at least the mid-lane tier 1 tower to jump to the Baron pit. This means he can't defend the bot lane tower if he wants to join the fight.
Or rather, G2 shouldn't have anyone defending the bot lane tower this time!

After all, no matter who plays in the bottom lane, V5 can rely on Gnar's TP to create a numerical advantage, and even the strongest lineup can't help in a 4v5 situation!

If we lose the dragon and then the Rift Herald, then this lineup becomes completely meaningless!

The first Rift, in particular, is crucial for G2's lineup, which relies heavily on resource team fights and tempo.

No one expected it.

With just one wave of double teleportation, the situation has turned into this mess!

There's still no solution.

G2 had no choice but to bite the bullet and send all five players to the Rift to fight head-on, pinning their "hope" on V5's entire team going crazy and coming to play 5v5 against them.

But V5 isn't one of those top seeds that just mindlessly fight and act like they have an advantage when they're at a disadvantage.

Of course, I wouldn't make such a foolish decision!
V5 not only moved Caitlyn and Ashe to the bottom lane, but also secretly sent their jungler there as well, creating a three-man push that seemed inevitable.

"This kind of economic exchange is definitely profitable for V5, after all, G2 didn't achieve any results in the laning phase. A Rift Herald can't destroy any turrets at all, it's just a matter of trading plating!"

"But V5's bot lane, facing an open bot lane, was able to take down the first tower directly and even surpass them in gold!"

Wang Duoduo was already grinning.

Because anyone with eyes can see this.

Although the economic gap is not large, the situation in G2 is already in a terrible state!

A pure early-game fighting lineup, even at an economic disadvantage by the 10-minute mark, actually lost a tower!
This means that even if V5 avoids all team fights and abandons all resource team fights, G2 will still need at least 30 minutes to engage in the Dragon Soul team fight. At that time, the difference between the two sides without an ADC will inevitably become apparent. G2's dream of erasing the economic gap with the so-called "composition advantage" can be said to have been shattered!
And then there's Ashe, the hidden hero of this match, who used her E skill to scout vision several times, effectively locking down her opponent.

This resulted in G2 losing three outer turrets.

Yet they still suffered in the three lanes, constantly "laning" against each other!
And G2 didn't realize that times have indeed changed.

simplest.

Without the concept of "double marksman fast push" in S9, the extra economic advantage could almost only be obtained through "fighting".

However, Akali's absolute dominance in the one-lane matchup, coupled with the rapid push of the two marksmen to expand the advantage, caused the economic gap between the two sides to be unstoppable, like a floodgate being opened, until it was quickly and completely widened!

With no significant kills, the economic gap between the two sides had already reached 5K in just 20 minutes.

This economic gap is enough to compensate for the impact of the "warrior advantage," not to mention Akali with the [Divine Separator] item, making her the "King of Undying Warriors"!
A cloud of golden and red flames filled the sky, accompanied by a semi-transparent phantom of a candle dragon emerging from the mist.

The golden blade was thrown to the ground by the female assassin, and it exploded into a circle of golden and red ripples the moment it hit the ground.

As the ripples subsided, the soaring dragon head and the deep dragon roar resonated together. Akali, riding on the dragon's shadow, soared forward, leaving a long, dragon-shaped trail of light behind her that shimmered in the sky!

The two sections, one inside and one outside, are a chaotic mess underfoot.

It was as if he had unleashed a golden, domineering aura!
There was even an exaggerated, earth-shattering "dragon's roar" echoing in the air!
"Akali went in and out of team fights three times! She's hovering around the dragon! She's hovering around the dragon like crazy!!!"

"It should be over by now!"

"Watching Master Ye play Akali is an absolute treat! His movements are fluid and graceful, like a work of art! You could watch a hundred games and still not get enough!!"

Wang Duoduo seemed to be releasing the pent-up emotions from the previous match, shouting with complete abandon.

but.

Although the outcome was already decided, V5 players were clearly slowing down their pace, allowing the game to proceed at a leisurely pace for 30 minutes.

The teammates knew that playing this game wasn't easy, so they wanted to play as long as possible.
But for the G2 players who had already suffered so much, it was definitely torture.

This also applies to the European audience who were somewhat dissatisfied before the match.

perhaps.

Europeans finally understand what a Chinese urban legend truly is.
In the final 32 minutes, G2's crystal finally succumbed to the pressure and exploded into a sky full of flames, thus ending V5's last Swiss round match!
