LPL History

Chapter 150 Three-pronged strategy secures victory; a single shot, like thunder, shakes the Han state.
Lu Benwei's little fish originally wanted to establish vision control.

However, Pray's rat was very cunning; it moved stealthily and forced Lu Benwei to retreat from his position.

As a result, EDG lost all vision of the bottom half of the map.

Facing Najin Black Sword with a hook support like Thresh, it would be extremely dangerous for EDG to insist on engaging in this team fight without vision.

"EDG! Do you still want to go?"

In the commentary booth, Ruofeng expressed his confusion.

"I don't think it's necessary. We can just give up the lane. Caitlyn and Zyra can switch to top lane! These two can definitely push towers faster than Twitch and Thresh. There's really no need to insist on laning against Najin Black Sword in the bottom lane just to spite them."

"Najin Black Sword's level 1 team fight was clearly planned from the champion selection stage. At this point, we really can't act impulsively."

Seemingly heeding Ruofeng's suggestion, EDG indeed abandoned their own bottom half of the map.

However, to everyone's surprise, EDG's bot lane did not choose to switch lanes to the top lane, but instead continued to head towards the bot lane.

"What does this mean?"

The man with the big nose frowned and said:

"Is Zhou Li directing EDG right now? Knowing that the enemy is invading the bottom half of the map, why would he still choose to go bot? It doesn't make sense! If you switch to top lane, with Elise's support, Kennen won't be able to farm the wave. You can take down Najin Black Sword's top lane tower in less than five minutes. Wouldn't that be better?!"

In terms of game understanding, Miller and Wawa are definitely not as good as Ruofeng.

Upon hearing Ruofeng's explanation, he realized it was indeed true.

However, if EDG really follows Ruofeng's strategy in handling this lane swap, then even if the King of Heaven himself came, he probably couldn't save EDG today.

The early lane swap did indeed help EDG get out of their current predicament.

However, this also provided the mice with ample room for development.

You need to understand that in this game, Pray's Twitch absolutely cannot be allowed to develop.

Aside from Caitlyn, most of EDG's lineup has relatively short range.

Furthermore, the only champion with AOE (area of ​​effect) capabilities is Zyra, who plays the support role.

For Pray's Twitch, his output environment couldn't be better this game!

Once the rat gets fed and has the synergy of Nunu's abilities, EDG will absolutely be unable to withstand it in mid-to-late game team fights.

However, similarly, in order to complement the mid-to-late game damage output of the mouse, Pray chose Nunu as the jungler, so naturally, he would also have to make corresponding sacrifices.

Nunu's biggest problem as a jungler is his weak ability to gank lanes.

Even if the jungle is swapped, as long as EDG's bot lane maintains good vision, Nunu won't be able to forcefully gank them.

In this version, Caitlyn is one of the most popular ADCs.

The biggest advantage of picking the female police officer is that, thanks to her long reach, she can take down the opponent's turrets earlier by switching lanes, thus achieving the goal of quickly pushing turrets and gaining an economic advantage.

However, it should be noted that even in a normal laning phase, the female police officer possesses immense dominance thanks to her unparalleled 650-yard attack range, the best among all ADCs in the league.

Even at this point, the policewoman's attack speed was still very high, and she was holding an SKS.

Najin Black Sword's bot lane duo needed to help Watch farm jungle monsters, so Joo-rye and Curly were the first to arrive at the lane.

The two of them adopted an unconventional stance while online.

Zhou Li's policewoman disappeared into the grass.

This was to avoid Najin's jungler and bot lane duo coming to annoy him in lane, and also to stack his passive ability.

The female police officer's passive ability to headshot counts as two attacks when she attacks from within bushes.

Zhou Li stopped after attacking the minions three times to avoid pushing the lane too quickly towards Najin.

On the other hand, Pray and Cain appeared extremely arrogant.

These two people didn't walk across the river; instead, they chose to walk directly from the triangular bushes towards the line.

Because behind them, Nunu was attacking the Stone Golem.

Once the two sides start fighting, Nunu can come to the rescue immediately.

On EDG's side, after spotting the NJS bot lane duo in the tri-bush, Zhou Li auto-attacked a minion again in the bush, holding onto his Headshot passive, and began to retreat.

Pray's mouse, using stealth, was the first to approach.

Cain's Thresh hasn't learned any skills yet.

Upon seeing Zyra unleash her E skill, Thresh simultaneously uses his Q skill. While the crowd control is negated, Thresh's Q skill also grants a longer duration of crowd control.

The rat appeared and tried to pull away from Jie, but Zhou Li's policewoman shot it in the head with a single shot.

The two sides began to pull at each other.

Zyra retreated first to create distance from Twitch's attack, but Zhou Li's Caitlyn began to turn her gun towards Thresh, who was closer.

Pray tried to get close to the policewoman, but she retreated.

Pray was about to turn around when the policewoman turned around almost simultaneously and fired a shot into the rat's head.

Pray wanted to come back to A, but was pulled away by the policewoman.

After a brief tug-of-war, Zhou Li managed to land four basic attacks by exploiting the rat's maximum attack range.

"Zhou Li's policewoman is quite skilled; that pulling and tugging made Pray's neck go numb!"

In the commentary booth, upon hearing what the doll said, Miller also spoke up:

"Furthermore, we noticed that Lion chose to take Flash and Ghost as his Summoner Spells today, forgoing Barrier and Cleanse. That's a bit too confident!"

Not using Barrier and Cleanse shows absolute confidence in one's positioning and aims to exert absolute dominance in the lane!
Zhou Li knew that it was impossible to push the lane after the jungle was swapped.

So he chose to pressure the opponent's health.

In this situation, NJS's bot lane duo naturally leveled up to level two much faster.

Thresh immediately stepped forward, but Caitlyn, who had been level 2 stolen, was still calmly walking and auto-attacking.

Seeing that Curly wanted to step forward to help share the burden, Zhou Li spoke up:

"Stand behind me, do you have any fancy footwork to dodge Thresh's abilities?"

Curly looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected that Zhou Li, who was already cornered by Thresh, would still be joking with him.

Cain wanted to use E first, then Q, to ensure the accuracy of his hook.

But the female police officer on the other side placed the traps in a really disgusting way. She seemed to always be able to anticipate my next move and place the traps in advance.

This meant that even if the policewoman would stop and stab him a couple of times in an extremely arrogant manner, he still couldn't close the distance.

Seeing that the opponent was about to retreat to the tower, Cain could only try to hook, but the policewoman easily twisted it away.

The praying mouse had already moved closer.

Seeing that Hammer's Q missed, he simply revealed himself, auto-attacked the female police officer once, and then turned and left.

However, the policewoman relentlessly pursued them and tapped the rat's head again.

Pray was in a bad mood.

They stole the second level, so why are you so arrogant?
We'll have to go back and order again.

However, a trap fell under his feet, preventing him from turning around.

He was then shot in the head.

Seeing his AD being bullied like this, Cain naturally stepped forward, only to be pulled and slapped twice by the policewoman.

Without a headshot, the female police officer's shots don't hurt very much.

But being constantly leeched off by basic attacks is really infuriating.

Pray was a little annoyed.

"He's too cocky. Wait until you reach level three, then just use Flash!"

The level 3 rat has a certain burst potential. If Lion continues to act arrogantly, Thresh can initiate with Flash + E, either killing the lane or forcing out a Flash.

Watch glanced at the minimap and said:

"You guys flash out, I'll come down and take them down directly."

"Ok!"

Zhou Li glanced at his experience bar and offered a reminder to Curly.

"The enemy is probably going to Flash in at level 3, so hold onto your skills. If they don't use Q, don't use E!"

"it is good."

Curly nodded nervously.

Although he really wanted to say, "Since the other team has already secured a 3-0 lead, why don't we just back down?" Zhou Li, as the team's absolute command core, knew that his doubts were unfounded.

Because the Zhou rites never make mistakes.

Seemingly noticing Curly's confusion, Zhou Li took the initiative to explain:

"We can't retreat now. If we do, we'll be pushed out of the experience zone, and then Nunu will come and we'll be overtaken. Let's bait them out, and if we win this wave, the enemy team will be completely wiped out!"

Curly nodded, but was still a little nervous, and asked...

"What if we lose?"

The voice that came through the headphones was Zhou Li's unwavering tone.

"We will not lose."

Curly felt a surge of fighting spirit, then heard Zhou Li add:
"Unless someone wants to deduct wages and let their skills go to waste."

Cain stared intently at his experience bar, and the instant he reached level three, he instantly learned the E skill!
flash!

"Wow! Thresh immediately flashed to engage Caitlyn! But Lion was extremely focused, flashing away the instant Thresh used his E to create distance!! Cain didn't want to give up, so he used his Q skill!!"

The moment Zhou Li flashed to dodge Thresh's E skill, he activated the ability [Zen]!
[Zen Meaning: Abandon all distracting thoughts and comprehend the essence of Zen. Enter a state of absolute focus within ten seconds; cool-down period is sixty minutes.]

This ability, gained by using a gesture hook, can provide a powerful effect at crucial moments!

Thresh's Q skill was cast, and in Zhou Li's eyes, it was like watching a slow-motion video.

With a clear mind and extremely steady hands, he twisted Thresh's hook away from the edge with just a slight twist!
Meanwhile, Zyra used her E skill to lock Thresh in place during the moment when Thresh was stunned after hooking him!

The female police officer's trap fell at Thresh's feet, and with Zyra's E, it was almost guaranteed to hit!
Under the combined fire of the two, Thresh's health instantly dropped below half.

Cain could only retreat, but after taking only two steps, he stepped on the policewoman's second trap with a snap.

At that moment, Pray's mouse had just snuck in and had only just attacked the policewoman a few times.

Thresh had been completely drained, so Pray had no choice but to retreat.

But the policewoman had already started sprinting!

He started chasing the mouse and unleashed a simple yet powerful 5A-level combo!

"Hey! NJS is clearly losing!! Lion is playing too aggressively, chasing after them with Ghost! Thresh dropped a lantern! Curly placed a ward on the lantern! That ward was brilliant! Lion forced Pray to use Flash! But Lion still doesn't want to give up!!"

"He landed a very precise auto-attack on a minion and leveled up to level three!! A reverse E skill!! Pray didn't dare turn around! Lion! He's still dealing damage!!"

The policewoman chased the rat all the way from under her own defensive tower to in front of NJS's defensive tower!
The rat, who had been harassed until it was almost dead, was forced to surrender its barrier!

But the policewoman was still chasing after them!
"Lion is still chasing! This is a fight to the death!! He's charged straight into the tower! What does this mean?!"

First blood!!

"My God! Lion is so aggressive!! He killed the rat and got First Blood, but he's also about to get shot to death by the turret!!"

A gasp of surprise rang out from the audience.

No one expected that Zhou Li's policewoman would get so carried away, choosing to go all out and kill him, even chasing the rat into the turret and killing him with her attacks.

"Lion got a little too carried away. He should have been winning by trading two summoner spells in this wave."

From the commentary booth, Ruofeng began to speak.

The doll nodded.

"Yes, it does feel like we rushed things a bit too much, but we're still making money, just not as much anymore, since the rat also got the kill."

Seeing that even his brainless partner had been tricked by Ruofeng, Miller finally couldn't help but speak up.
"I think Lion's choice in this wave was quite wise! If he had only forced out the opponent's summoner spells, Caitlyn would have lost her summoner spells and would have been in poor condition. Nunu was in the bottom half of the map, and when Twitch pushed the lane, Nunu would come to tower dive, and there would be no way to counter him."

"In this situation, Lion got the first blood, and the minion wave is still pushing towards EDG. I feel that Lion must have taken this into account, which is why he chose to go all in."

Ruofeng knew that Miller was right, but he still spoke up to refute:

"All the conditions you mentioned are based on Nunu diving the tower, but that hasn't happened yet. If Nunu doesn't dive the tower, wouldn't this be even more profitable?"

Miller's eyes widened.

No wonder WE's performance is getting worse and worse. With a commander like Big Nose, their ability to win games really depends on the individual abilities of the players.

Then NJS chose to actively switch jungle areas, and Nunu kept moving towards the bottom lane to apply pressure.

It's obvious that he's targeting EDG's bot lane with a series of attacks; otherwise, what's the point of all this?
Did they come here just to stroll around EDG's jungle?
At this point, the director began the replay.

In order to make the event more entertaining, the replays of exciting kills at this World Championship will occasionally use the players' first-person perspective and also play the players' voices.

As soon as the playback began, Zhou Li's voice came through.

"We can't retreat now. If we do, we'll be pushed out of the experience zone, and then Nunu will come and we'll be overtaken. Let's bait them out, and if we win this wave, the enemy team will be completely wiped out!"

Then, an even more outrageous scene unfolded.

At this moment, everyone is watching from Zhou Li's first-person perspective.

The moment Thresh used Flash + E, Zhou Li also used Flash at the same time.

The very next second, Zhou Li's screen suddenly seemed to be infected by a virus, with the image flashing rapidly across the top lane, mid lane, and jungle!
"Hey! What happened? Was your mouse malfunctioning because you were so nervous?"

The baby's questioning voice had barely faded when Zhou Li's voice rang out.

"Shenchao, you missed a cannon vehicle. Ten yuan fine."

"Lu Benwei, is this how you traded blows? You couldn't even react to Ahri's charm? Even my grandma could react to that!"

"Mingkai is still fucking farming, why isn't he going for a dodge in the top lane when there's such a good opportunity?!"

In sync with Zhou Li's voice lines, he was moving and attacking while placing traps, causing Thresh to flee in panic.

The commentary booth was completely silent.

Not only the commentators' booth, but the audience seats were also unusually quiet at this moment.

Everyone's minds went blank for a few seconds, clearly not understanding what Zhou Li's words meant.

When Miller finally realized what was happening, he opened his mouth, but immediately started stammering!

"What...what?! What is he doing?!"

His question had just been uttered.

Zhou Li's screen started switching wildly again, as if the mouse had malfunctioned!
"If this Kennen dares to come up and auto-attack again, just use your red rage to bite him, then flash out. If Clearlove comes, you can easily dive him."

"Lu Benwei, push the lane and apply pressure!"

"What are you doing, Curly? We don't need you anymore, let's just go back to town."

As soon as Zhou Li finished speaking, he chased after the rat, attacking it relentlessly, and killed it under the tower!

"boom!!"

The audience finally realized what was happening and erupted in incredulous gasps!

Korean commentary booth.

Quan Yongjun's eyes widened like copper bells, shooting out lightning-like terror.

"Oh my god! What is this?! Is he simultaneously fighting, switching screens to observe his teammates, and giving them commands?!"

Zhao Enjing covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise:

"What is this? Does every professional player do this?"

"No way!" Kim Dong-jun exclaimed, just recovering from his shock. "Forget professional players, this is something no human could do! What kind of monster is this person?"

He started gesturing wildly as he began to draw.

"Wow! He's an ADC! He's an ADC! NJS caught him off guard with a flash initiation, how could he be so calm? How could he even switch screens to check on his own mid and top laners at a time like that? What is this guy doing? This is terrifying!"

The three of them looked on incredulously, even with a hint of fear at witnessing something beyond the norm, and began to chatter amongst themselves.

Only Hyun-kyung remained silent, only continuing to stretch his fingers.

Meanwhile, in the domestic live stream, the comments from netizens had been skewed by Ruofeng's remarks just a second ago.

But after they saw Zhou Li's first-person perspective, the comment section was now filled with nothing but question marks.

【? ? ? ? 】

【Huh? What kind of operation is this?】

Is your mom a human? Or is she a robot?

[I replayed it again, but I still couldn't see the scene at the moment of screen switching. What kind of eyes does Director Zhou have?]

[Not only are his eyes terrifying, but his brain is terrifying too! He gathered information in an instant, began giving orders, and didn't neglect his own operations at the same time. Is Zhou Chu's brain some kind of quad-core processor?!]

I don't know if Nunu will dive the tower, but seeing Zhou Chu's play, I choose to trust him.
