Chapter 536 One kill per minute?
The situation continued afterward.

Lin Ruo, wanting to avoid the trouble, returned to the upper jungle to clear the remaining three groups of jungle monsters.

Having tasted success, Tazan had a different idea and began to imitate Lin Ruo's previous starvation strategy, actively seeking ganking angles.

He figured that Lin Ruo would definitely stay in the upper jungle and clear the jungle within those two minutes.

If he were to go down to the bottom lane without eating any jungle monsters, the chances of him getting anything from the EDG duo pushing the lane would be much higher.

Tazan, who was on a whim, left at level 3 and showed no intention of entering his own jungle. Instead, he went through the river and entered EDG's blue side jungle, flanking from behind in the tri-bush area.

With their ability to control the lane, EDG's bot lane duo wouldn't place any wards in the back triangular bushes; staying in the river to guard against frontal risks is the most essential approach.

This created an excellent opportunity for Tazan to flank.

Perhaps no one would have expected that the Gragas, who was in the upper half of the map just 1 minute and 30 seconds ago, would come down directly to the bottom lane without doing anything and start a gank.

While Lin Ruo was still farming the three wolves in the upper jungle, Gragas, whose CS was still 12, had already emerged from the tri-bush area.

EDG's bot lane duo retreated in time, but the position of Gragas meant that no matter how far they retreated, the effect would obviously be minimal.

Moreover, GRF acted decisively.

Lehends' Alistar used Flash to initiate a combo and quickly caught the retreating Lucian.

Even someone as strong as iboy didn't react in time.

Knowing he had to keep up to provide sufficient damage and take down the nearly full-health Lucian, Viper followed suit with Flash, using his Q skill to shoot out a string of feathers, and activating his W skill to increase attack speed and start auto-attacking.

iboy didn't hold back any skills.

If you don't even try to escape when you're at full health, that's obviously a bit too much.

So he decisively chose to Flash + E and retreat, quickly widening the distance between himself and the GRF duo.

In most situations, one could easily escape such a situation, but this time the situation was quite dire.

Because the barrels blocked the way back.

Even though iboy flashed in the opposite direction as much as possible to avoid colliding with the emerging barrel, he still couldn't avoid all the risks that were bound to come.

You have mobility skills, and so does the Gragas.

Tazan, aiming for a safer approach, unleashed all his skills, easily catching Lucian with the most reliable combo: E-Flash. He then used his belly to engage, followed by crowd control abilities, and the duo behind him followed up with damage.

iboy has absolutely no escape space.

Bloom in the field, on the other hand, is more like a passerby who can't get involved at all.

Or rather, he could have intervened, but the three members of GRF didn't treat him like a human being.

Why attack Braum? You can't even scratch him.

Their goal is simply to get Lucian's head.

As soon as one of them died, the three members of GRF shouted "nice" in unison and backed away, bypassing Braum.

From then on, both the top and bottom lanes got kills, but the bottom lane kill went to Tazan instead of the more crucial Xayah, resulting in less overall gains.

However, the game had only been going on for 4 minutes when GRF took the lead in terms of pace, which was undoubtedly a huge advantage for GRF, who needed to play defensively in the early game.

The commentator, Dee, burst into laughter.

LCK viewers in the Korean online live stream also went wild.

How can you question the head coach's draft picks? Look how good these draft picks are!

[Haha, this is the strongest team in our LCK! Even with a late-game lineup, they can still crush EDG in the early game.]

[Wow, Tazan is amazing! He completely crushes Lin Ruo, that brat, and shows him just how powerful our LCK junglers really are.]

[EDG should go home. This championship is definitely for LCK. We must keep it on our home turf this time.]

[GRF is really amazing! We worried for nothing these past few days. There's really no need to worry about these young guys. They've made it from the secondary league to the LCK, and then won the LCK championship to qualify for the World Championship. Their resilience is already the strongest in League of Legends.]

[3-0, it's time to let EDG experience what we've been going through these past two years. EDG should be dethroned.]

[Go GRF! We definitely need to meet in Incheon. I'm looking forward to seeing you lift the trophy!]

...

Clearly, Korean netizens have now gone to another extreme.

He started cursing the head coach at the end of the draft, but after seeing that the team played well at the start of the game, he quickly switched to praising the coach.

However, situations are always changing rapidly, and trying to judge the overall situation in just a few minutes is obviously not a valid comparison.

Moreover, in the game.

Lin Ruo's countermeasures came quickly.

After clearing the jungle camps in the top half of the map, Lin Ruo was supposed to return to base to resupply and then head to the bottom lane. However, when he noticed that Gragas was inappropriately appearing on the bottom lane, Lin Ruo changed his mind without hesitation.

Are you the only one who knows how to make variations?
Sorry, I can do that too.

Just as Tazan finished catching someone and turned back to farm the Gromp, Lin Ruo controlled Xin Zhao to re-enter the river and openly charge into the red team's jungle. Starting from the F6 area, he quickly arrived at the Krugs area above.

Because of the barrel's position, Sword Emperor had already left spies in the triangular grassy area for self-protection.

Lin Ruo, who had anticipated this, deliberately chose to take a detour to make the arrest.

When Sword Emperor, who was being pushed, saw Zhao Xin, he was already trapped under the turret, while Lin Ruo blocked his retreat between the two turrets.

Chun Chun killed someone right in front of him.

Lin Ruo had no intention of hiding anything, because at this time the Gragas was still in the bottom lane, and Kassadin had no teleport.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save Viktor.

Of course, if Viktor wants to take advantage of the fact that the game is only 5 minutes in, and rush into the enemy's defenses too early because the damage from the turrets will be incredibly high, and then use his skills to pull off a counter-kill, then...

Lin Ruo could only say, "Sorry, we operate on a three-to-one basis."

Scout's LeBlanc quickly caught up, steadily pushing the lane before level 6, allowing him to respond to Lin Ruo's call to come and support immediately.

that's it.

Three people quickly gathered inside the tower.

At this moment, the Sword Emperor felt as if the word "death" was written all over his head.

He tried to run, but he couldn't escape at all.

The Sword Demon initiated an attack on Viktor by pulling the tower's damage with a basic attack, and then Lin Ruo controlled Xin Zhao to charge in without hesitation.

Even if Viktor uses his W skill Gravity Field to immobilize Xin Zhao who is right in front of him, with GimGoon's Aatrox tanking the tower at the edge, Lin Ruo, who is following up, will not be in any danger.

Once the control ended, they could poke and poke as they pleased, easily securing kills with the help of LeBlanc, bringing the kill score back to a tie.

Lin Ruo, leading 2-0, maintained her momentum. The two sides exchanged four waves of attacks within 6 minutes of the game, leaving the Korean audience wanting more.

"This is a complete back-and-forth game between the two sides. It's only been a few minutes and the tension is already so high."

Miller also became excited by the commotion at the scene.

However, he also knows that the current situation is actually unfavorable for EDG, because EDG has a pure early-game lineup, which has resulted in a fierce and evenly matched contest with GRF's late-game lineup in the current competition.

As time goes on, it will become clear who lost and who gained.

Otherwise, the Korean audience wouldn't have been so relaxed; they knew that if they played like this, GRF would definitely win.

In the game, the pace of Tazan has slowed down for the time being, but Lin Ruo, who is determined not to slow down, is still doing things in an orderly manner according to her own ideas.

The red monsters in both jungle areas spawned around 7 minutes past the hour.

Lin Ruo launched another surprise attack.

At this point, anyone would think that after returning to the city, he would first go to the lower half of the area to get a red buff and level up to 6, and then start doing other things.

But Lin Ruo did not do that.

Relying on his level 5 strength, he entered the lower river and, after confirming that the field of vision had been cleared by Tianye earlier, immediately began to crouch.

At this moment, no one expected Zhao Xin to arrive so quickly. The GRF duo went online and their first thought was to push the lane to the middle and set up river vision to deal with EDG's possible next move.

Lehends walked into the river as if no one else was there.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that a level 5 Zhao Xin suddenly emerged from the bushes and, without saying a word, chased after him with his spear, looking like he wanted to eat him alive.

By this time, it was clearly too late for Lehends to turn back.

Because of the Flash used to assist Gragas in killing Lucian around the 4-minute mark, and since he didn't have Flash available and was already slowed down, simply pushing away Xin Zhao behind him was obviously useless.

Braum and Lucian have already come up.

The moment Tianye Braum landed a Flash Q, Alistar's death was sealed.

Lucian followed up with a slide attack, and Lin Ruo kept up the chase. Under the control of Braum's passive freeze effect, they quickly secured the kill.

The sounds of carnage immediately echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.

Lin Ruo secured her third kill since the start of the game, maintaining a consistent pace and intensity throughout.

The previously optimistic South Korean audience could no longer remain calm.

Lin Ruo's pace was too good in their eyes. If he continued to play like this, GRF would really be at a disadvantage.

If this wave had only resulted in the death of one Alistar, it would have been fine, but the problem lies in the fact that Tazan's Gragas was acquiring the red monsters that spawned in the upper jungle.

This resulted in only Xayah being online in the lower half of the map after the Minotaur was killed.

With the Minotaur dead, Viper couldn't defend the first tower at all, and had to retreat quickly if he couldn't farm the minion wave.

Fortunately, Lin Ruo went back to farm the red buff. Because there weren't many minions gathered at the start of the game, the EDG duo only managed to whittle down half the health of the bottom tower.

Viper hasn't fallen to the point where he has to farm minions under the second tower starting at 7 minutes; he has only lost a wave of minions.

But then he discovered that he seemed to be losing minions even after a wave of minions had passed.

Lin Ruo, who had just defeated the red monster and leveled up to 6, made a comeback.

Lin Ruo pinged Kassadin's teleport, and then calmly called for Tianye Braum to invade the jungle. First, they left enough vision in the blue buff area, and then called for Scout's LeBlanc to prepare for a four-man gank on the second enemy.

The newly released Lehends inevitably ran into Zhao Xin, who was emerging from the bushes.

Fortunately, Tazan's Gragas arrived and joined the duo in hiding under the turret, but even that didn't seem to stop EDG's turret-diving idea.

Seeing that EDG had already made their move, Chovy quickly used his teleport to the next tower.

As soon as a 4v4 situation formed in the bottom lane, the EDG team immediately abandoned the idea of ​​tower diving and quickly retreated to spread out their lines.

As long as Kassadin uses his teleport, this move will be absolutely effective for Lin Ruo.

For Chovy, it's clear that he's lost out big time.

Because he gave up first blood and was forced to use Flash, he was already walking on thin ice in lane and was bullied by LeBlanc a lot during this period.

Especially seeing the Enchantress come up to wear him down, forcing him to retreat and thus leaving some troops exposed.

For Chovy, who has a compulsion to finish off enemies, this is clearly a complete horror game.

More importantly, the TP was developed well but was not used online.

One teleports to the top to protect Viktor, and another teleports to the bottom to save a teammate.

This is better.

He used both teleports on ganks within about ten minutes, not on farming. I should have known he was so selfless with Kassadin, who desperately needed to farm.

Why not play Karma earlier? Her foot support would be faster.

What resources do you need when playing Kassadin?

Both the top and bottom C's have kills, so Chovy's situation is obviously obvious when compared.

This teleportation resulted in an unintentional loss of almost a wave of minions.

EDG only needed to use Braum's ultimate ability to feign a tower dive, forcing him to land just as the minion wave was about to enter the tower.

The situation is not good right now, well, that's from Chovy's perspective only.

He realized that EDG's actions were entirely aimed at him alone, at least judging from their subsequent actions.

After securing the first dragon, Lin Ruo focused all his attention on Kassadin, occasionally checking the mid lane, seemingly ready to tower dive at any moment as Scout was about to unleash a significant amount of damage.

Even with his ultimate ability that allows him to dash three times, Chovy still has to be extremely cautious when farming minions. It's no wonder he's finding life difficult.

Although the overall gap is not large at present, judging from EDG's various probing actions, it feels like they are about to launch a big move at any moment.

Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the next tower falls.

Therefore, just over 11 minutes in, GRF decisively swapped lanes, moving Viktor to the bottom lane to deal with the second tower.

Meanwhile, the duo going up not only provides a better environment for farming lanes, but also lays the groundwork for vision control in preparation for a potential Rift Herald team fight.

Although GRF's current lineup certainly won't have a chance to contest the Rift Herald, it's hard to guarantee that EDG won't encounter any problems during this period.

Moreover, bringing in Alistar to establish vision control is also to prevent EDG from making any further moves in the top lane after securing the Rift Herald.

In this situation, leaving Viktor alone in the top lane is likely like throwing himself into the lion's den, waiting for EDG to take the Rift Herald and then come to collect the loot.

At least for now, GRF has taken the best possible precautions.
