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

Chapter 391: A V5-level combo skill that gets your blood pumping! Wild geese descend on the sandy shore, the Imperial Guards within the walls!

The sudden and unexpected changes in the middle of the road caught everyone off guard.

Everyone only saw the last scene: the Tsar commanding his sand soldiers to march into the flames, landing and firing a shot at Qiyana to kill her.

And the Tsar didn't even use Flash in the end!
The director quickly switched to slow-motion footage—the shockwave that spread out in the latter part looked almost overlapping with the Tsar, but it just didn't hit him!

"You say this is luck? He says it's calculation!" the child shouted excitedly.

Miller, Qiyana's partner, also agreed: "This must have been calculated. If it wasn't precise, how could they dare to use EQ to turn around like that? You have to know that if you get stunned by Qiyana's ultimate, you'll immediately be hit by her full combo and could very well be in the kill zone!"

"This is confidence, Master Ye's confidence in the champions Tsar and Qiyana!"

[It really feels like an emperor leading an army in person, especially this charge through the gunfire, it really gets the vibe!]

[LCK players like playing Azir? Are they even half as good as YE at it?]

[I think P is holding back his laughter pretty badly, so just laugh if you want to!]

[Hey everyone, how do you play Tsar against Qiyana? You there, you should learn from him!]

[Doesn't the director know anything? Why don't they just cut to some backstage footage so I can get a feel for it?]

The on-site director actually switched to backstage footage, showing what was actually "completely unrelated" to the LNG backstage event.

Scout's astonished expression, his mouth agape as he stood up, clearly captured by the camera.

But beneath the expression.

He was even more horrified.

Why didn't I think of handling it this way back then?

Of course—even if he had thought of it, he wouldn't have done it.

It's easy to see from the scene just now that if the Tsar had turned around even half a step off, the outcome would have been completely reversed. He would never have made such a move unless he had absolute confidence.

"Fortunately, Canyon's Widowmaker made a breakthrough in the top lane!" The somewhat speechless Roaring Emperor shouted as he watched the camera suddenly switch back.

"Even Quesanti can't withstand the tower diving ability of Widowmaker and Alistar. HLE's lineup is coming into its own!"

In terms of junglers' ability to tower dive, Evelynn is at least a top-two pick.

Besides the high burst damage of the ultimate ability and its ability to draw turret aggro, the most important aspect is the W skill [Lure], which requires a 2.5-second channeling time. This allows it to be perfectly utilized when the opponent has nowhere to escape while tower diving.

Once the effect is triggered, reducing magic resistance by up to 50% will make almost all tank heroes look like squishy heroes!

This is why, in the lane-swap version, Widowmaker, a "bottom-tier hero," has the potential to be picked.

“But V5’s bot lane also successfully tower-dived Gnar, and the Prince’s tower-diving ability with the two marksmen is also quite strong,” Niu Guli said with a serious expression.

Prince will become a Tier 0 jungler in the current version, and he naturally has many hidden utility abilities.

It's not just about EQ for initiating and R for terrain control; Q skill [Dragon Strike] will apply up to {26% armor penetration} to all units hit, which is almost like giving all your AD teammates a Last Whisper for increased damage!
P, the young player, was already grinning: "If we make this trade, HLE will definitely lose out. V5's bot lane duo of marksmen are about to blow up the tower!"

"HLE's early game tempo was completely ruined by this lineup!"

Although the Roaring Emperor was unwilling to admit it, he could only nod in agreement.

"Actually, the main reason is that HLE invested too much ganking resources in the mid lane in the early game, even at the cost of sacrificing the jungle, but it didn't bring any results. On the contrary, V5's jungler hardly took care of the mid lane, so their bot lane duo was able to play so comfortably!"

"We could even say that V5's mid lane in this match was essentially a 1v2 situation."

Yes.

In a sense, this is another layer of understanding of the line-swapping version by V5.

When switching lanes becomes a routine practice, then not switching lanes can be interpreted in another way.

In layman's terms, if the lane that gets swapped can withstand the pressure and pull off a 1v2, then without a doubt, the bottom lane that didn't get swapped can rely on the difference in {bottom lane turret resistance} to gain an advantage that was unimaginable in previous versions!
After all, in previous versions, even if the bot lane had a good laning phase, it was still a 2v2. No matter how strong the two marksmen were, they couldn't possibly attack the tower while the minions were pushing into it.

But in a 1v2 melee combat situation, you can just ignore them!

"Could V5 really take down the next tower before the team fight in the Rift?! We need to save them!"

The Roaring Emperor was extremely anxious, but Niu Guli next to him shook his head.

"It's hopeless. Even if the duo is replaced now, they'll still get beaten. Widowmaker doesn't have her ultimate, and the mid and top laners' teleports must be saved for the Rift Herald. Giving up either one is equivalent to handing over the Rift Herald. This has happened several times before with the Swiss system."

"HLE has staked everything on the Rift team fight."

It can only be said that HLE's choice was wise.

Canyon, who was in charge, had a clear strategy. He knew that even if V5's bot lane duo took down a tower at the 8-minute mark, and Caitlyn and Ashe gained an extra 500-600 gold, it wouldn't significantly improve their teamfight strength in the Rift.

This is a limitation of marksman heroes' performance.

What's truly terrifying about V5's lineup is that it gets Caitlyn's tower-pushing rhythm going, helping Azir safely develop until the mid-game and take over the game. Only then will HLE lose all their chances!
Therefore, this canyon is far more important to them than their bottom lane tower!

Eight minutes later, the two sides gathered.

Most LCK teams, once at a disadvantage, will completely give up contesting map resources and only engage in resource trading. They will never engage in a head-on team fight until their economy is even.

But LPL teams are different: when they have an advantage, they fight to kill the game; when they are even, they fight to extend their advantage; and when they are at a disadvantage, they fight even more to tie the game.
In reality, neither of these two is inherently superior or inferior.

After all, even if you have an economic advantage of three or four thousand yuan, it only amounts to a few hundred yuan when spread among five people. It's equivalent to each person having an extra small item. The effect is obvious in 1v1 laning, but when a team fight breaks out, it tests the team's coordination, the use of core skills, and the timing.

The numerical value of equipment worth a few hundred dollars has virtually no impact on team battles, so the theory of "fighting from a disadvantage" can be considered accurate.

of course.

If you're also inferior to your opponent in teamwork and timing, then engaging in team fights against the odds is practically suicidal.
However, everyone in HLE was very confident in themselves, especially the top, mid, and jungle players, who were all well-known "mechanically skilled players" in the LCK.

"Judging from Canyon's position, it seems like he's planning to steal a player first!"

The invisible widow secretly cast W on Ashe to threaten her position, and the prince and Quesanti immediately stepped in, giving the enemy no opening to attack from the front.

But V5 didn't expect this move either.

The other party was right behind me!

"Canyon used Hexflash to bypass the two control wards placed by V5 at the intersection, and used the camouflage effect to stay in the corner of the Gromp pit where he was killed. Three V5 players passed by without anyone noticing!"

"This surprise attack caught the enemy completely off guard!"

"The rat has already stealthily reached the front! Gnar and Qiyana are positioned at an angle, HLE's positioning in this team fight looks very good!"

Beryl only realized his old teammate was in his own jungle when he saw the directional indicator revealed by Widowmaker's W at the last second.

"That cunning old fox is behind us!!"

But a [Hate Spike] had already been fired through the wall, and the instant charm control prevented Ashe from even using her ultimate!
Meanwhile, Alistar decisively flashed and used WQ to knock up the front line, Gnar transformed into his size, and Twitch appeared head-on, pulling out his crossbow and firing [Full Power] through the walls. Even more terrifying was that a patch of grass elemental marks inexplicably shot out from the wall of the Baron pit!
The battle situation became extremely chaotic for a time.

But Ye Bo knew exactly what Qiyana in that position wanted to do—QW to use the bushes to stealthily move forward, and then, in the complex jungle, to use Flash R to push the wall!

But Qiyana didn't use Flash this time.

This is a gap.

"Never mind the back row! Xunzi, look at me!"

No matter what, the widow can only threaten one person, and since she has a powerful move, it is very difficult and costly to stop her assassination attempt by getting close to her.

After Ye Bo finished shouting, he summoned a sand soldier guard behind him and then flashed forward!
The next moment, the figure shrouded in grass element stepped out of the range and appeared, the shockwave of [Amazing Talent] already released!

"what!?"

"The Tsar flashes forward!!"

Loud noises erupted from both commentary booths.

Qiyana's ultimate, which was supposed to push across the jungle walls to complete a gank, was instead "eaten up" by Azir's Flash-forward "wall of the Forbidden Army"!

The Tsar then instantly followed up with his E, using the same trick to fly back to the wall behind him!

The reason for pushing in the opposite direction is that the volume of Azir's ultimate is calculated from the "end", which is the formation principle of "Insider Shockwave" - ​​if you push R forward, it will help Qiyana's ultimate "connect and extend" in the jungle, successfully spreading and covering half of the jungle!
But what if we look at it from a different angle?

Since using R head-on will be considered the end of the combo, wouldn't using R head-on in the opposite direction cause Qiyana's R to "self-destruct" on the spot?

The effects are not limited to that.

This wall of defense pushed Qiyana and Alistar, who had charged in from the back, forward, while only Twitch reacted quickly and used Flash to pull himself back in time.

Prince Jarvan IV immediately followed up, spotting the perfect position and flashing to use his ultimate to trap four enemies before using his EQ combo to escape and avoid being focused down, creating a perfect situation to keep them in place!
"I can fight! Watch me!" Kingen's Gnar in the pit gleamed with a fierce light.

In that chaotic moment, he also noticed that the female police officer and Quesanti behind V5 were ignoring the advance, and the two of them, along with the prince who used EQ, were only one step away from the Tsar's [Palace Wall]!
Gnar jumps out with E, then instantly flashes to the side and unleashes a "Buddha's Palm" attack with R!
Their target was the Imperial Guard wall, which was very close to the three of them!

"Kingen's here!! Huh!?"

"How did it get through!" The palm strike, which looked like it was going to destroy the world and knock the three people unconscious right in front of their teammates, actually didn't cause any stun.

This is actually a very interesting "subconscious mistake".

Everyone knows that the Tsar's wall of guards is a wall, but that only applies to enemies—it doesn't count as protecting one's own people!

The Tsar and his allies can freely pass through the "Imperial Guard Wall"!
To make matters worse, Nar was now blocked by the wall of the Imperial Guard that he had jumped over.

Meanwhile, the three HLE members who were still within the Prince's ultimate skill range were facing the Tsar on the shore, who was using two sand soldiers to unleash a true "wall-penetrating attack"!
The Tsar is definitely not good at team fights at this point in the game.

But if you just stand there and let the Sand Soldiers keep attacking, you'll know whether the Sand Daggers hurt when they hit you!

At this moment, the devastating terrain has become a prison for the three HLE members. After using all their skills, they can only stand inside and take hits!

"Tsar! Kingen, follow me to kill the Tsar!!" Canyon shouted as she circled back.

Widowmaker had coordinated with Twitch, who had used his ultimate, to finish off Ashe and then used her ultimate to pull back, thinking the team fight was won. But when she turned around, she found the situation had changed drastically!
Fortunately, he was still positioned far back, and with the help of the separated Gnar, he had a good chance to kill the Tsar who was standing alone on the shore!
Even if they suffer a complete rout, killing the Tsar would be an acceptable outcome of trading two for three.

But when it comes to seizing opportunities...

V5 will too.

"Gunner! Look at Gnar! Look at this lane!"

Previously, when he saw Gnar flash in to attack, Quesant, the only one with an instant counter-attack ability, had already used his W's Unstoppable ability to avoid the control.

At this moment, only a sand wall separated them from Nar.

Li Xuanjun is the V5 team member who has the best synergy with Ye Bo. The two have also created the most memorable moments of teamwork, so it is no exaggeration to say that they are in perfect harmony.

He understood Ye Bo's meaning almost instantly.

Quesanti takes a big step with his E, then flashes to adjust his position.

Lock onto Gnar and aim at the left 45-degree angle, casting [Proud Stance] along a straight line from the intersection of the soon-to-disappear [Imperial Wall] and [Cataclysm] — the target is below the top lane tower!
"HLE wants to take action against the Tsar. Wow, Holy Gunner!!!"

The child couldn't contain his excitement and screamed, "He pulled Gnar away! My God, he used two walls from his teammates! He practically pulled Gnar from right in front of the Baron pit all the way to his own tower!"

"A manned space rocket!"

"V5's amazing teamwork! Here we go again! It's the Tsar again!!"

Miller chimed in enthusiastically: "Gnar, pinned under the tower, has been solo-killed! With Evelynn out of abilities, she can no longer pose a threat to Azir! HLE's team fight is about to collapse!"

This is our V5's exhilarating combo skill!!!

[That makes sense. The enemy can't get close to the emperor through the Imperial Guard, but for an ally, it's not as simple as just asking a question.]

If Master Ye is Azir, then Saint Gun is the emperor's most trusted bodyguard! The best top-mid combination!!

[Damn, I can't keep up with these two teams' team fights, what's going on?]

[V5: I heard your hands get cold if you haven't played a match in a long time? Are they cold? Tell me!]

[This is hilarious! What are Kingen and Zeka doing? They're taking turns missing their ultimate abilities! The two worst players ever!]

[Now the werewolf game will have to figure out who the bad guys are. They got a stronger jungler, and with two fewer bot laners, how come the mid and top lanes are so weak now?]

The team fight, with both sides actively engaged, was quite chaotic, and even after reviewing it, there were still many details that I couldn't see clearly.

The HLE members found it hard to accept.

Is this still the Tsar?!

An 8-minute Tsar, in normal understanding, would be considered a super minion, whose only use might be pushing away the backline with his ultimate.
But the Tsar's influence far exceeded their expectations!

"It's alright, it's just this wave. The Tsar is still useless right now."

"If they give up the top tower in the Rift, we can give it to them; we'll trade for the plating."

"Let's wait for Canyon to find their rhythm!"

The HLE members were still comforting each other.

However, V5 seemed to have a different operational strategy. After taking the Rift, they didn't rush to give it up. Instead, they let the female police officer slowly push down the top tower before coming back to push down the middle tower.

"V5 seems to be trying to force the enemy to group up early? But Azir is useless in team fights at this point!" Roaring Emperor was a little confused.

Niu Guli noticed something: "The Tsar is indeed not good in team fights right now, but HLE has a Widowmaker and a Twitch. If they can't pick off isolated enemies and steal the side lanes, they won't be strong in a head-on fight either, especially the Widowmaker."

"This is actually bad news for HLE. Don't forget that their lineup doesn't have an advantage in the late game, especially against YE's Azir."

The Roaring Emperor repeatedly tried to interrupt the other party's analysis and stop their pessimistic analysis.

Ke Niu Guli actually had something else to say.

HLE's lineup is being used for the first time in the World Championship, and both their operational rhythm and countermeasures should catch their opponents off guard.

But there are only two possibilities for V5 to be able to make this level of on-the-spot handling immediately.

Or perhaps V5 had already guessed that the opponent had a similar lineup and practiced it in advance.

Or it's a completely 'on-the-spot' solution!
Either possibility is a bit frightening to think about.

As the commentators noted, HLE had hoped to exploit the gaps in resource refreshes to create opportunities for breakthroughs and leverage the "dark" advantage of their lineup—but this proved unsustainable due to the opponent's rapid grouping up.

Despite this, the cost is that V5 Tsars will develop relatively slowly.

But V5 is definitely not in a hurry.

Occasionally, the Tsar is led on dangerous routes by a single guide. The widow and the rats would try to harm him, but the "Listen to Footsteps" would always detect it!

For several minutes in a row.

HLE was able to find almost no defensive weaknesses!

Anyone familiar with the Widowmaker knows how bad this is, and how ineffective she becomes in frontal engagements if she loses her rhythm.

"V5 crushed the Rift Herald at the last moment of its cooldown, choosing not to push mid, but to push down the second tower!" Miller was also analyzing their intentions.

"This is also the right decision! Because when both sides are grouped together, the pressure on the side lane minions is much greater than the pressure on the mid lane minions!"

Zero-Logic Doll started spouting nonsense: "If only the vanguard could just go straight to the high ground, then HLE wouldn't even have a chance to catch a single enemy, it would basically be a slow death for them~~"

Miller gave an awkward laugh and tried to smooth things over for his partner: "That's unlikely. HLE would definitely not let their second turret fall like that. They'd definitely send five people to defend it, and they might even engage in a team fight under the turret."

"Hey, Master Ye, what are you going to do!?"

Seeing that V5 was going to push aggressively, HLE was indeed going to defend their second tower and wasn't too wary.

After all, the Tsar is probably still useless at this point in time.

V5, with the Rift Herald providing cover, charged out first, but after realizing there was no chance, they seemed to give up the attack and headed towards the lower jungle.

Just as the Tsar walked around the corner, a "Thousand-Mile Sand Soldier" was suddenly placed across the wall at a distance, appearing under the second turret of HLE's bottom lane.

The Tsar, who had just stepped into the shadowy corner, had already lifted his feet off the ground—soaring into the air and shifting his form amidst the quicksand!

"Wait, be careful!!!"

When Zeka saw the sand soldier suddenly "twitch," he realized something and immediately unleashed his ultimate move, trying to "push" the Tsar down from the air!
but.

That Tsar.

The entire flight maneuver was concealed within the wall!
The airborne elite troops, having landed, stepped forward and forcefully pushed the four people leaning against the tower back into the narrow gap of the jungle from under the second tower!

"Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank, Imperial Guards Within the Walls!"
"A group order from the Tsar?!"

"Wait, where did the Tsar fly off to?!"

The HLE members, who had just landed, wanted to retaliate against the Tsar, but were shocked to find that there was no Tsar on his face at all.

The Tsar, having completed the incredible push under the tower, ended up flying in a straight line—gliding for thousands of miles before finally landing in the camp inside the toad pit!

From God's perspective.

The desert emperor was like an arrow shot out and then returned to the bow, leading his royal guards in a charge, crossing three walls twice, bringing back the enemy troops and landing safely!
It's like a scene of an emperor personally leading an expedition deep behind enemy lines, going in and out, and then returning in triumph to once again command the rear and direct the nation.

The prince dashed across and unleashed his ultimate, coordinating with Quesanti to deliver full crowd control. The two marksmen, also behind the wall, joined the sand soldiers in unleashing a barrage of attacks!
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere in the gaps of the jungle.

The LPL commentary team also suddenly changed their tune.

No one expected that Wawa's words would actually come true. In just 14 minutes, the bottom lane high ground was breached, directly tearing open an absurd gap in the defense!

At this point, the outcome of this match was clearly already decided.

V5 ultimately destroyed the base in just over 20 minutes!
