LPL History

Chapter 264 Zhou Lang turns around, his clothes slightly dirty; a storm of strategy culminates in a triple kill.
A deafening roar erupted from the Shangyan Gymnasium!
Faced with Mata's Flash-close attack, Zhou Li also chose to use Flash immediately!
In fact, most professional players would not use Flash.

It's not because they can't react in time, but because when Thresh flashes in, he will most likely use his E skill first to apply a brief control and slow effect before hooking.

Compared to the control provided by the Q skill, the control duration of the E skill is negligible.

So under normal circumstances, you can actually tank this E. You can save your Flash until Thresh uses his Q and you can't dodge it, which will give you more room for error!
However, Zhou Li immediately used his Flash the moment Thresh used FlashE.

Even Mata was taken aback by this decision.

But soon a secret joy welled up in his heart.

In Mata's opinion, Zhou Li's flash attack seemed like he was scared out of his wits.

He stared at the mouse's position and predicted its movement!

But Zhou Li at this moment doesn't seem as panicked as Mata imagined.
The reason he dodged wasn't because he was scared, but because he didn't want even the hem of his clothes to get dirty!
Thresh's E skill has a high slow effect, so EQ is almost guaranteed to hit. Since you're going to use it anyway, why hold back?

Zhou Li stared calmly at the screen, and the instant Thresh cast his Q skill, he twisted his position!
Thresh's Q skill barely grazed the right side of Twitch before hooking him!
Looking at the model, it even seems like this Q could be hooked!

But what might seem like a stroke of luck to outsiders was actually Zhou Li’s absolute confidence in his control of distance and the range of his spells.

Every extra second spent on positioning means one less second spent on output!

Having evaded Thresh's control, Twitch immediately turned around and started to fight back.

At that moment, the fat general's Jayce flew over, carrying Thresh's lantern.

Jayce, who had already switched to his Legacy Hammer form, immediately launched a Sky Leap towards the rat's head.

However, before his Q skill even landed, Xiaoming, who had been saving his skill, hooked him down from the sky.

WE.A's bot lane duo, along with Twitch, immediately shifted their focus to Jayce, who was right in front of them!

Seeing that the three members of WE.A were using almost all their skills on him, General Pawn realized that the opponent's intentions were not what they seemed.

They didn't want to kill Mata, they wanted to kill themselves!

At this moment, Imp finally arrived at the battlefield from below.

However, in the Blue Buff terrain, Sima Laozei's Yasuo used a Wind Wall to directly block the output from Ezreal and Thresh!

Even more critically, WE.A's mid laner Xiye has also arrived on the battlefield with Lucian!

With one of his teammates being focused down and facing a three-on-four situation, Mata immediately gave the order to run away.

But your Samsung White is currently in WE.A's jungle!
Now that we're here, it's not so easy to leave!

Seeing that Jayce had used Flash when he was low on health, Zhou Li immediately gave up the pursuit.

This kill could easily be taken by Sima Laozei or Xiye.

He then turned his attention back to Thresh, who no longer had Flash!

The rat's red buff made it impossible for Thresh to move an inch!

"Sima the Old Thief has taken Jayce's head! Mata is also stuck! Twitch's slowing effect makes him unable to move at all! Imp has decided to give up on saving Mata, after all, if they don't leave soon, he might be stuck here too! Dandy arrived late, but it's all over!"

"Twitch's Venomous Explosion killed Mata's Thresh!!"

As Mata died suddenly, a chorus of boos erupted from the stands from the Koreans.

Meanwhile, the Chinese live stream chat was already flooded with "666" comments.

[Not Mata, are you that cocky? Daring to invade my brother Zhou's jungle all by yourself?]

[Hilarious! Mata's lantern just fed Pawn the kill.]

Everyone says that junglers like Twitch are afraid of being ganked, so why was Zhou Ge's clothes only slightly dirty after this team fight?

[Zhou Ge's flash to dodge E really stunned me. At first, I thought he was just too nervous.]

This wasn't just an unparalleled reaction, it was an unparalleled strategy.

[What happened to the promised Samsung White support synergy? Dandy isn't even here, so why is Mata feeding all by himself?]

Samsung White's seating area.

At this moment, Mata is cursing at Imp.

"Hey! Why can their bot lane come over like that?! Aren't you even useful in the bot lane?"

Upon hearing Mata's words, Imp retorted defiantly:

"They're Yasuo and Nautilus, how can I put pressure on them by myself? What if I get controlled and killed? Wouldn't I be the one who gets controlled and killed?"

Seeing that Imp still dared to talk back, Mata was clearly even angrier.

"Damn it! Aren't you playing Ezreal?! Don't you know how to use your damn E skill? Do I have to teach you how to use your E? It's one thing to be bad at the game, but why do you have to talk back to me?"

imp's face grew increasingly red.

"You idiot, you always blame me when something goes wrong. I'm your father!"

"What are you muttering about, you little brat?!"

"Oh, it's nothing. Mata, you're right, I'm just too bad at the game!"

Are you being sarcastic or mocking me? You're brain-damaged!

Imp, barely suppressing the surge of blood pressure from the throbbing veins on his forehead, raised his voice considerably.

"Then what do you want me to say?!"

Seeing that the two were clearly about to start arguing, Dandy had no choice but to step in.

"Hey, stop arguing. This was my fault. I didn't predict his jungle route."

“What do you mean, ‘your problem’?” Mata was clearly angered by Imp’s unwillingness to take the blame. “It’s clearly this cerebral palsy problem. You don’t need to speak up for him.”

imp didn't say anything more, he just stared fiercely at the screen.

At this moment, it seemed as if the heads of every minion he killed had been replaced with Mata's heads.

After all, the game still needs to be played.

But to his surprise, after respawning, Mata immediately chose to go to the top lane.

For Mata, he really doesn't want to see this trash ADC who's worse than Deft. He could tolerate him being trash before, but now he's even talking back to him. It seems he's gotten a bit arrogant since the season started.

Secondly, Yasuo just secured first blood, so if he goes to the bottom lane now, he won't be able to coordinate with Ezreal to exert any pressure.

Instead of doing that, I might as well go wander around with Dandy, find that damned rat, and regain the face I just lost.

Although Mata has a somewhat disgusting personality, we cannot deny his abilities because of his character.

As the only support player to have won the FMVP award in the history of the World Championship, this person's game sense is terrifying.

At this moment, everyone who was standing at God's perspective was starting to worry for Zhou Li.

They discovered that despite having no vision, Mata seemed to have supernatural abilities, heading straight for Zhou Li, who was preparing to gank the top lane, along with Dandy. Keep in mind that WE.A's top laner had no lane priority at that moment.

And Samsung White couldn't possibly climb over a tower made of a large tree like that.

Therefore, their only goal must be to counter-gank!
If Samsung White manages to counter-gank this wave, then WE.A's advantage from the previous wave could very well be wiped out.

Because the rats don't have the ability to teleport at this time, they are very likely to die instantly if they are caught in a trap!

But WE.A never makes its fans too worried.

Miller was about to express his concerns when his eyes lit up, and he immediately changed his words:
"Hey! Wait a minute! Mata and Dandy are heading to the top lane, but it's not just Zhou Li moving around on WE.A's side! Xiaoming, who just recalled, is also heading to the top lane!!"

The doll also spoke in shock:
"I was just about to say that Zhou Li going to the top lane was a bit risky! But now it seems like WE.A is playing it safe, or maybe they anticipated Samsung White's prediction?! Is there some kind of script going on between the two sides?! You guys are playing like this, it's really a bit scary!"

From God's perspective, the actions of the two teams are almost mirror images, perfectly synchronized.

But after a brief moment of shock, Bella still spoke with some concern:

"But WE.A still needs to be careful. In a 3v3 situation in the top lane, it feels like Samsung White has a slight advantage. Especially since Zhou Li's Twitch doesn't have Flash right now, if he gets focused first, it will be very dangerous!"

Bella's words were not unfounded.

On the Samsung White side, Rumble, along with Jarvan IV and Thresh, can be described as having both control and burst damage.

Compared to the small team fight in the bottom lane just now, Samsung White's fighting power in the top lane is clearly stronger than that in the bottom lane.

At this moment, the junglers and supports from both sides were about to arrive at the top lane.

Samsung White didn't rush. Mata and Dandy immediately disappeared into the bushes, seemingly anticipating that WE.A would gank the top lane next.

Sure enough, just as the two of them crouched down in the bushes, Flandre, who had been hiding under the tower, suddenly charged forward.

Looper was not afraid of Flandre's sudden attack.

He didn't even pull or tug at all, nor did he try to avoid it.

Why not avoid it?

Because I'm not afraid.

Behind Looper are two top-tier three-star White generals! His goal is to lure the WE.A people out!

Saint Gun's actions clearly made Samsung White realize that they had ambushed someone!
But the next second, what emerged from the fog of war was not the rat they expected, but a deep-sea titan!

This surprised both Dandy and Mata.

It's like they came to catch a murderer, but after staking out the place for ages, they ended up catching a pickpocket instead.

Regardless, they did anticipate WE.A's move this time.

Dandy was about to make a move when he heard Mata suddenly shout:
"Don't go out yet! Wait a little longer!"

Dandy was taken aback, but immediately understood Mata's intention.

He suspects there's someone behind WE.A!
"That kid is incredibly cunning and treacherous; he could very well be right here!"

Mata began to explain.

In fact, Mata's guess was correct!
At this moment, Zhou Li was indeed hiding on the side!

However, for viewers with an omniscient perspective, the scene unfolding on the top lane at this moment is excessively bizarre!
The Samsung White jungler was crouching motionless in the bushes.

WE.A's Zhou Li was AFK in the background.

Only Looper is being brutally beaten by two burly men, Treant and Titan!

The live stream room was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

【No, what are you doing?】

[Did you get disconnected?]

[How could it have disconnected? Didn't you see Looper getting beaten up?]

Why aren't the other people moving?

Holy crap, the drama is just like the movie!

[looper: I feel like I've been tricked?]

In the commentary booth, the baby was also crying loudly.

"Hey! What are these two doing? Why aren't they moving at all? Looper's totally dumbfounded! His teammates are right behind him, but why is he just getting beaten up?!"

Miller then spoke up:
"I can only say these two sides are incredible! I'm not saying this in a derogatory way! Samsung White clearly suspects Zhou Li is nearby, so they don't dare to make a move. If they want to win the team fight, they must focus fire on Zhou Li's rat! But Zhou Li! He seems to have predicted the opponent's prediction again! Did both sides see the whole map?!"

Bella also shouted loudly:

"There's just too much scheming going on between the two sides! But scheming isn't just about psychological issues! Samsung White is now facing a very real problem! If Mata and Dandy don't make a move, what will happen to Looper?! Looper is going to be killed!"

The so-called game theory can only be a fair game when both sides have equal capital.

However, in the current situation, even if Mata is willing, Looper is powerless!
And at this moment, Looper's impatient shouts could be heard in the Samsung White's voice chat.

"Whoa! What are you doing! Why aren't you helping me?! Is it stuck?! Is it stuck?!"

Mata could no longer afford to wait when her teammates cried for help.

"Fight beat!"

He shouted!
Mata knew that if the rat was nearby at that moment, this team fight would be a disaster for Samsung White.

But at this point, he had no other solution!

And since so much time has passed and the rat hasn't appeared, it's highly likely that it's no longer there!
Otherwise, there's no reason why the other side hasn't shown up for so long!
He had already scanned the bushes with his scanner, and there was absolutely no view of the bushes where he was crouching!
However, what Mata didn't know was that while Dandy's Prince was using his EQ combo on Nautilus and Treant Protector, in the Korean livestream, Jeon Yong-jun was already clutching his head in agony!
"Ah!! Dandy! You still couldn't resist?! The mouse is right next to us!!"

The prince used his EQ combo to knock up two people, while Thresh in the bush steadily hooked, hitting Flandre's tree.

Lopper's Rumble immediately turned around and counterattacked, unleashing a red-temperature attack!
This perfect skill combo, however, did not bring any enjoyment to the Korean audience.

At that moment, all the South Korean audience heard was that sinister and lewd voice.

"Hehehe~ It's me~"

"The rat has appeared! Looper immediately used Flash! But Maokai chose to Flash to hold the enemy in place, while also creating distance between himself, Jarvan IV, and Thresh!"

"Looper! Looper! Can you walk?! Ah, complete pizza! The rat has taken Looper's head!"

"And now, what are Mata and Dandy supposed to do?! Can they even leave?!"

The answer to Quan Yongjun was the announcer's crisp and clear voice!
【Triple Kill!】

An eye for an eye—Mata's jungle and support duo roamed in vain, only to be nailed to their death by Twitch's poison darts in the top lane bushes!
