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

Chapter 390 The Hidden Technique of "No Order Without Command"! A mere step away, yet seemingly familiar!

"HLE has suddenly changed direction. It seems they're going to steal the mid laner!" Wawa on the commentary desk said worriedly.

"Actually, Master Ye's handling of the situation was quite clever. He knew that his Azir would be powerless to support in the early game, so he only sought to suppress Qiyana to the extreme in lane, making it difficult for her to move."

"But Master Ye seems to have forgotten that the real target on the other side is him!"

The Tsar can still pose some threat online thanks to the positioning of his W Sand Soldiers.

Once the game enters the jungle melee, the inability to frequently deploy Sand Soldiers will immediately become apparent, and the fighting ability is clearly worlds apart from Qiyana's.

Canyon believes that since his duo has been moved to the top lane, the top jungle will eventually be his.

Targeting the mid lane is a higher priority!

As a jungler who also plays the "jungle carry" style, Canyon, who has won the World Championship, is more clear-headed than some pure cancer players who prioritize themselves above all else. He knows what it means to prioritize the overall situation.

The top lane duo disappeared from the map after pushing the lane, seemingly trying to help the jungler invade the top side of the map—but in reality, they headed straight for the mid lane!

Since the Tsar had been pushing the lane to prevent Qiyana from leaving, the minion wave position was now clearly in danger.

However, if you retreat immediately upon seeing Miss in the top lane, all the previous pressure will be wasted, and Qiyana can immediately move out. She might even be countered and have her minion wave blocked, resulting in a huge loss!
What really worried the commentators was Ye Bo's actions—it seemed as if he had never expected the other side to be targeting him!

They didn't retreat at all!

"The Tsar's position should at least be taken down, the rat has already stealthily approached!" the Roaring Emperor roared excitedly.

"As long as Azir can use Flash, he basically won't dare to cross the river during the laning phase. This will give Qiyana control of the mid lane, and the loss of control of the mid lane will make HLE's subsequent offensive rhythm even more difficult to defend against!"

"Qiyana also stealthily entered the bush and stole the water elemental from within. Look at this spot. Hmm?"

"What kind of consciousness is he having!?"

Qiyana first used the grass element to get close, taking advantage of the fact that {grass element can pick up elements without warning} to secretly take the water element and quietly get close.

Prepare to coordinate a pincer attack with the mouse that has already gotten close.

This was the first time Ye Bo had used this laning strategy, and it was also a common laning situation between Qiyana and Azir. Previously, Azir had not reacted to this move, so it was difficult to defend against such a sudden attack.

Just as the two were about to get close, Qiyana, hidden in the grass element, reached the distance and used "borrowed troops to teleport".
The Tsar suddenly turned around and floated away!

"Something seems off?" The observant Niu Guli noticed something was amiss.

It's not that Azir sensed danger and retreated, after all, it's normal for MISS in the top lane to be a little wary — what's strange is that Azir didn't actually have a reason to use W+E to pull back!

Because Tsar's E skill has a full 20-second cooldown in the early game!

Even if someone is truly wary, they would at most take two steps back; they wouldn't give up their only life-saving skill like that!
If Azir had only taken two steps back, Qiyana's "Borrowed Displacement" water elemental would have hit him, allowing her to block him with her body and prevent Azir from using his E [Quicksand Shift] to create distance, forcing him to use Flash.

The stealthy rat also appeared in the mid lane.

Unfortunately, neither of them managed to touch the Tsar; they could only help push the minion wave before returning to defend the jungle.

"HLE's attack on the mid lane was ineffective, but fortunately, there were no losses. Evelynn and Alistar were fighting Jarvan IV in the back of the jungle. Even if Quesanti came to support, he would be hesitant to move for fear of the ADC immediately returning to defend."

"wrong!?"

"It seems like HLE is about to launch another counterattack!"

HLE's plan was to have Alistar follow Evelynn into the jungle, while Twitch would stealthily approach the mid lane to launch a sneak attack, but unfortunately, it failed.

Since the rat failed to gank, it seems like he should go back to defend the jungle and help the Widowmaker take over the jungle first.

But the HLE members suddenly discovered that the Tsar had stepped forward again and was pressing forward!

Canyon made a decisive command, continuing to aggressively push forward in the jungle while Twitch waited for his Q skill to reactivate and return to the mid lane for a second gank!

This wave was so strong that it would be difficult for anyone to detect!
"Let me make the first move this time. He's probably wary of your invisibility!" Aiming shouted. "I can also block his E, and then flash in for a good kill next wave!"

Zeka naturally understood, and at the same time, Canyon in the jungle also made a more aggressive advance.

The rat has moved back towards the middle lane.

Ye Bo continued to command the sand soldiers to advance on Qiyana, but suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a soldier ahead relaying a "warning".

He quickly checked the minimap and immediately shouted, "Go straight into the jungle! There are only two of them, and the rat is still with me!"

Command received.

The Ueno duo, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly sprang into action!
V5's {Quisanti + Jarvan IV} is clearly stronger than HLE's {Widowmaker + Alistar}, but they haven't dared to make a move because of the opponent's Twitch who can come back to defend at any time, and Qiyana who might be in trouble if she gets away and comes over.

Prince EQ double-plants the flag and advances!

"What makes them think they dare to go up there?!"

Despite being surprised that V5 dared to take direct action.

However, HLE's support Alistar reacted extremely quickly, using W to charge and try to knock him away—but Xun's Prince used "Flash in the Air" to directly charge and land in front of Evelynn behind him with an EQ flash effect.

While dodging the Minotaur's W attack, he knocked both of them away!
Saint Gun was equally decisive, using Flash E to close the distance to Jarvan IV and unleash a powerful axe strike, then using a charged W to dodge Alistar's Flash Q as he turned to come to the rescue.

It was a direct "two strong men blitzing the young widow" scene!
"The widow was forced into a close-range Flash attack, and he didn't have Flash available!!"

"The rat is already retreating to defend, and both mid laners are heading there, but Aiming turns back again to try and catch Azir!"

"No! It still didn't work! The Tsar maintained the distance too well!"

"The prince has already taken the widow's virginity!"

Although the burst damage from the Prince and Quesanti wasn't enough, HLE's mid laner was once again lured back to delay for a moment, and Dragon's Roar and Herald killed Widowmaker before Twitch could arrive.

Furthermore, since Alistar had used all his skills without dealing any damage, the top laner and jungler were still in good condition, and Jarvan IV had stacked Conqueror to the maximum, making it difficult to continue the fight and forcing them to retreat.

The HLE members all looked rather grim.

Although the Tsar's performance limitations still make him unsuitable for jungle invasions, the Prince should at least not go too far as to continue invading Widow's red buff area—but Widow's start has already been extremely damaging!
More importantly, their repeated attempts to attack the mid lane failed to elicit any skill responses from them!
The Roaring Emperor looked utterly bewildered: "HLE's start was so damaging, but what kind of strategy is YE? The mouse didn't show its face at all! And there was no vision detection!"

Niu Guli also clearly felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was strange about it.

Only P, after seeing Canyon give away first blood, tried his best to keep a straight face and not let his true emotions show.

The game started poorly, and Widowmaker clearly lacked additional ganking ability before reaching level six.

The pace of HLE in its early stages can only be slowed down temporarily.

V5, relying on the pressure of their bottom lane duo who didn't swap lanes, started the dragon at 5 minutes sharp, and their two marksmen even pushed down one and a half bottom lane turret plates, putting them in a very favorable position.

During this time, the most tormented player was not Gnar, who was facing two marksmen in the bottom lane.

It's Qiyana in the mid lane.

"Something seems off about this mid-lane matchup," Hang in the backstage chatter started again.

"Is Qiyana being suppressed to the point of being unable to take care of herself? This is the second time she's been sent back to her base! If she goes back again, there will be a level difference!"

Scout listened to the voice behind his ear and wondered if the person was calling him out.

My face feels a bit hot and painful.

He could certainly see why the mid lane was in such a bad state.

Qiyana's laning strategy against Azir is to use her assassin's extremely high burst damage to intimidate him, then rely on her grass elemental ability to "force close the distance" to prevent Azir from effectively harassing her, forcing him to maintain distance and always have his Q and E ready to retreat and create space, thus making it impossible for Qiyana to suppress him.

But Ye Bo did not do it that way at all.

Aside from not knowing how to use his E skill, he was constantly pushing forward aggressively, even using his Q skill almost whenever it was available—the main thing is that Azir was actually able to use WA to poke Qiyana who was hiding in the grass elemental with "blind vision"!

The grass element covers a considerable area, and the sand soldiers use the soldiers as "cannons" to hit targets from a distance. To hit them is almost entirely a matter of luck!

But Ye Bo's Tsar is always able to "hit through the smoke"!
Scout felt a deep sense of unease.
Fortunately, there is some good news for HLE as well.

The Widowmaker, who was already lagging behind in jungle development, gained a lot of experience after being forced to return to base twice in the mid lane. She successfully reached level six in just over six minutes, which can be considered a passable achievement.

The first thing Canyon did after reaching level six was to launch an attack on the mid lane!

"Canyon has come to mid lane again, and Evelynn's game has only just begun from this wave!"

"With the Qiyana + Evelynn combo, a double assassin burst combo, if Azir makes even the slightest mistake, he could be instantly killed, even with Flash!"

"Here it comes! This flanking position is perfect. Canyon bypassed V5's control ward, this is JUG KING's understanding of jungle routes."

"??????"

The Roaring Emperor's boasting about Canyon abruptly stopped. What followed was an even greater level of astonishment and shock.

"What the hell! Why did the Tsar just use W and E to pull away again this time? The Evelynn didn't reveal any vision at all!"

"Something's really not right here!!"

One wave, two waves, three waves—all could be described as an explosion of consciousness.

But after so many times in a row, even a fool could see that something was wrong.

Moreover, no matter how good Ye Bo's anti-gank awareness is, at most he can only retreat in advance, or stay under the tower during a certain dangerous period of time. In that case, although it will not give them an opportunity, Widowmaker and Twitch will not keep coming to gank repeatedly if they feel there is no opportunity, thus wasting their own time.

The strange thing is that the Tsar clearly gave the opponent a chance every wave.

Yet, every time, they manage to "coincidentally" pull back half a step just as the opponent has positioned themselves and is about to make a move!

Is this right!?

The comments section was already filled with the classic joke: "Little Turbo doesn't count as a 'open'!"

But Canyon, a bit too engrossed in his actions, refused to back down and simply crouched down behind you, seemingly determined to catch you no matter what.

Ye Bo, on the other hand, hid in the back for ten seconds, waiting for his Q skill to be off cooldown before stepping out again.

Summon the Sand Soldiers and issue the order for a fierce sandstorm to charge forward.
They then immediately retreated again!

"No way!?" Canyon, who had just shown a look of joy upon seeing the Tsar emerge, was about to curse.

"Can this person see me?"

The widow continued to approach the Tsar cautiously, step by step, getting closer to him from a close-up angle.

But for every step he took, the Tsar took a step back.

He deliberately took a few steps back. Then the Tsar took a few steps forward!

This scene is hilarious from God's perspective.

But at the same time, it is also incredibly "horrifying".

Because everyone has already realized that this Tsar absolutely "can" see where the widow is!
Are you kidding me?

"That is."

Niu Guli frowned and craned his neck to look at the screen.

Some extremely subtle details that are unlikely to be noticed in normal times can be discovered by working backward from the behavior when you already know the answer and are looking for the question with that answer in mind.

at last.

Not only Niu Guli, but also someone behind the scenes, has already discovered the only thing that's not right in the surrounding area.

"That sand soldier is moving!!!"

"Sand soldiers, are they pointing at people?!"

Only after Niu Guli's incredulous growl did all the audience's attention finally fall on the "Sand Soldier" in the back, holding a sand gun and "spinning in place."

The spot where the sand spear was pointed was precisely where the widow was!
For every inch the widow moved, the sand soldiers moved one inch as well.

Obviously, by simply using the concept of "two points and a line" from elementary school math, and calculating the intersection of the "gun lines" of the two soldiers, the widow's exact location can be accurately determined.

"This seems to be a technique that can only be triggered after using Q?"

As one of the former top laners, even though he never plays Azir, Niu Guli still has the foundation of understanding and observation skills, and discovered more details.

Yes.

What's special about this technique is that simply summoning sand soldiers with W is useless → you have to use the Q skill once to "activate" it.

In fact, the sand soldiers after the Tsar uses his Q skill always make this pointing motion—it's just that no one has ever realized that this motion is not hindered by "invisibility".

It can be used as a kind of "hidden forced enemy targeting"!
Importantly, its target acquisition range is quite wide, at least nearly a thousand yards within the range of the Sand Soldiers!

Ye Bo discovered this strategy during the laning phase of the last game of the summer regular season not long ago, when he first used {Mid Lane Blade of the Ruined King} against BLG Yagao's Azir.

[How could Master Ye notice that? His observation skills are incredible! I suspect he could even count the number of leg hairs on the hero's leg!]

[They've missed their footsteps!]

[Sand Soldier: Don't waste time, there's an assassin! Your Majesty, be careful!]

"Sir, this way!" "Boss! He's right here!" "Protect him! Protect him!"

Why did the Tsar have to use Q? — Because the Sand Soldiers had to obey the Tsar's orders; without an order, nothing would work!

Look, the sand soldiers who charged through are so clear-headed, completely ignoring the young widow's confusion.

[↑That reminds me.]

Although those outside the venue had already guessed the principle through slow-motion discussions.

But those involved in the game were still somewhat confused.

They only vaguely sensed that YE had some way of identifying the Widow, but they failed to notice that it was because of "Sand Soldiers' Tracking," and that it could only be triggered by using Q.
Canyon really wanted to help the mid lane, but knew he didn't have the chance right now, so he could only stay away from the mid lane and look for opportunities.

Zeka has no choice but to rely on himself.

He also knew that developing alongside the Tsar would only make things harder, especially since Ye Bo's playstyle clearly didn't want him to develop.

Zeka decisively abandoned the herb element's stealth and positioning, opting instead to use enemy movement to switch to the highest damage element, water and earth, and forcefully rush in to trigger elemental reactions.

This definitely works.

Even if trading blows with E's dash in the early game is unlikely to be profitable, if both sides are in poor condition, Azir should be the first to be afraid—after all, their kill thresholds are vastly different.

Unfortunately, Ye Bo was not a normal Tsar.

"The mid lane is in a bit of a precarious situation, but neither jungler seems inclined to come here?"

The LCK commentators seemed hesitant to speak.

It's understandable that the widow felt she posed no threat to the Tsar due to the preceding unusual events.

But doesn't the prince's absence seem a bit disrespectful?

"Qiana seems to be going to make the first move!?"

Qiyana once again disappeared into the bushes, but this time she clearly intended to kill, moving forward from a god-like perspective as if about to unleash her E skill.

His movements were crystal clear to the Tsar, who could sense his murderous intent simply from the direction he walked.

Qiyana's E skill kicks in, and Azir immediately counters by pushing back against the "Forbidden Wall"!
But that's exactly what Zeka wanted!
"Zeka is in operation!!!"

Qiyana used Flash to interrupt her E skill dash in mid-air, releasing her ultimate skill at the same time, and then attempted to use W to pick up an elemental and dash forward to throw it at Qiyana's face!

Scout, backstage, had already instinctively stood up—this scene felt extremely familiar!
He died from this very move.

In his opinion, unless he immediately flashes after using his ultimate, Azir is unable to escape the shockwave's range due to the cast delay of his ultimate, and therefore cannot counter it.

Even if they use Flash, it's just a trade of ultimates, and Azir has to use an extra Flash, so it's a huge loss no matter what.

But obviously.

Scout is wrong.

The next moment, regardless of which side they supported, the entire audience suddenly erupted in a sharp buzzing sound.

"what!!!"

The Tsar, like a wild goose landing on a sand dune, instantly shifted back half a step using the WE quicksand technique, then charged back into the air a second time, but it seemed he would run right into the continuously spreading "shockwave" that followed!?

however.

Just like the perfect timing, the emperor, who was leading his troops into battle, had his robes just barely brush past the shockwave that followed!

It was a true near miss!
This can be described as "A mere step apart, yet a world apart!"

"The Azir in the mid lane actually managed a solo kill!!"
