LPL History

Chapter 292 Sain sacrifices himself to break through the enemy's stronghold; Yongquan shamefully acknowledges his father.

"Nice!"

Cheers erupted from the EDG players' bench.

"Deft is amazing! He got first blood this time. I feel like this game is in the bag."

Mei Kou immediately showered him with flattery.

Deft chuckled and said:

"Imp played too hastily, which gave him an opportunity."

For EDG, who have a more late-game composition, securing first blood gave them a 1000 gold lead.

But human joys and sorrows are not the same.

At this moment, Kou Rou on the road is suffering extraordinary torment.

The game had only just begun when Kou Rou already felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

That Sion on the other side is playing way too damn skillfully.

The opponent's attention to detail was so meticulous that it was hard to believe he was a newcomer.

This kid always uses fake auto-attacks to bait out his own skills, causing Koro1 to miss three Qs in a row.

What's even more outrageous is the opponent's skill accuracy.

Despite his best efforts to position himself, he hasn't managed to dodge a single Sion skill so far.

In this version, Sion's E skill deals exceptionally high damage, and it's magic damage.

Not only that, Koro1 felt that the opponent seemed to be maxing E.

This puts Koro1, who has the armor rune, at a significant disadvantage.

The two had only been laning for a short time when Koro1's health had already dropped to half, while Sion's health was still almost full.

The fact that two tanks were fighting like this in the top lane was undoubtedly embarrassing for Koro1.

At this point, both sides had reached level four. Seeing Sion go up to finish off the enemy, Koro1 took the most violent approach and tied him up with an Asian bondage.

Then he chose the same approach as before, saving his Q skill to interrupt Sion's Q.

As a result, he was chased and attacked by Sion a few more times before he could react.

"This is beyond the level 4, why aren't you learning QQ?"

Kou Rou countered with a Q, but the opponent seemed to have anticipated his move, turning around and dodging the skill, then activating W and bombing him again.

After two rounds of play, Zhou Li gained a clear advantage in the laning phase and began to enjoy the game.

Zhou Li knew that from this moment until the end of the match, no matter who won or lost, no one could stop him from enjoying himself.

Even if the base explodes, he will only appear under the enemy's defensive tower.

Moreover, with two tanks laning in the top lane, they generally won't receive much support from the jungler.

So Zhou Li didn't bother with the other storylines and leisurely focused on his own.

It must be said that LGD's overall strength is quite impressive.

The two teams were evenly matched, and the game was very close for a while.

By the eight-minute mark, both teams' mid laners had reached level six.

Both sides knew that the development of their respective ADCs in the bottom lane would greatly determine the outcome of the game.

Taobao Quan took the initiative and launched a gank targeting EDG's bottom lane.

The factory manager arrived shortly afterward.

The mid laners on both sides immediately activated Teleport in the bottom lane.

But Taobao Quan wasn't too worried at the time.

Because he knew that EDG's top laner didn't have Teleport, while his own Sion did!
If EDG dares to engage in team fights, they will immediately find themselves in a 5v4 situation.

Although he was also a little confused about why Kou Rou (a type of braised pork) was being attacked with a TP (Taiwanese TP).

But soon, Taobao Quan realized that something was not quite right.

Because the TP quantity is incorrect!
A team fight broke out between the two sides in the bottom lane, but Taobaoquan was caught out by the factory manager and was immediately focused down, his condition was severely damaged and he lost his fighting ability.

Furthermore, LGD's mid laner is Kassadin, whose fighting power is significantly weaker than Fat General's LeBlanc at this stage.

LGD had no choice but to sell their Taobao account, ultimately resulting in a two-for-one team fight.

Meanwhile, the comments section erupted with discussion.

Holy crap, this is ridiculous! Why didn't this Sion use a T?

[Yeah, I feel like if Sion tanks this fight, we can win.]

[But speaking of which, why did the top laner get such a large TP deficit?]

[Holy crap, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out! The braised pork belly has been cut into almost thirty pieces!]

[Outrageous! Shouldn't two tanks in the top lane be peacefully farming minions?]

[I told you long ago, EDG is a bunch of idiots. Koro1 isn't suited to playing tanks; they simply don't know how to use him.]

Taobao Quan looked at Sion in the top lane and couldn't help but say:

"No? What are you doing? Why aren't you teleporting down?"

Upon hearing Taobao Quan's words, Zhou Li countered with a question:
Why should I TP down?

"You can't win a 4v4 and you blame me? Wasn't it because I was the one who caused the enemy Maokai to not have TP? I had such a big advantage in the top lane, so I TP'd down to let Maokai farm? Wouldn't it be a better deal if you traded one kill for me taking down the first tower? Even if you ask me before you TP'd down, did you ask me why I didn't TP down halfway through the fight? You're just doing it first and asking me later? Do you think I'll tolerate that?"

Zhou Li's Gatling-gun-like retort startled Taobao Quan for a moment, before he retorted:
"No, what's the use of you, a mere fleshy creature, growing so well?"

"No matter how well I've developed, it's all thanks to my own hard work. What the hell are you barking about?!"

Seeing Zhou Li directly swear, Taobao Quan spoke up even more:

"The big tree is online, tell me how you're going to take this tower!"

"Why can't I take this tower?"

Taobao Quan sneered.

"If you can take this tower, I'll call you dad."

Upon hearing Taobao Quan's words, Zhou Li suddenly laughed.

"My good son, I'm waiting for you to call me 'Dad'."

At this moment, Kou Rou's Maokai had returned to the lane, but Zhou Li's Sion seemed not to see Maokai at all, and continued to demolish the tower on his own.

This arrogant attitude immediately angered Koro, who then proceeded to tie up Sain in an Asian style.

Zhou Li glanced at the turret's health and the minion wave behind him, his mind racing.

Then, Sion raised his axe and struck the tree.

"Buzz!"

The turret instantly redirected the aggro!

"That's hilarious! How could you make a mistake like that? You'd be dead already!"

Taobao Quan, who had been following the developments of Taobao, burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, the director noticed the conflict in the top lane and immediately switched the camera to that area, where they saw Sion making the absurd move of auto-attacking Maokai under the tower.

The turret's attack quickly hit Sion.

【6666! 】

【No, isn't this ridiculous?】

[This is hilarious! How could someone make such a mistake?]

[As expected of the worst Korean import, this is just too overpowered.]

However, Zhou Li remained calm and unhurried at this moment.

After developing for so long, it's time to start sending them off.

His action of attacking the tree was not a mistake, but a deliberate act!

EDG's outer turret in the top lane has very little health left, but similarly, the minion wave behind Zhou Li is also running low.

Once the minion wave is gone, the turret can't be attacked.

Zhou Li intentionally attacked the large tree to draw the turret's aggro, thus protecting the minion wave behind him and allowing Koro to use all his skills on himself. Meanwhile, Sion, after dying, gains even faster and higher attack power thanks to his passive corpse.

He just estimated that this number would be more than enough for him to take down the first tower!
But this scene looks a bit outrageous to others.

Sion, after attacking the big tree, didn't run away. It was as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and then started attacking the turret again.

[EDG_korol (Twisted Treant) has killed LGD_Li (Undead Warrior)!]

"Oh!"

A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd.

In everyone's opinion, Zhou Li's defeat was truly too ugly.

Taobao Quan even started mocking them directly.

"This is hilarious! I didn't believe you when you said you were mentally ill, but now I think you really are. Pushing the tower like this..."

He stopped mid-sentence, unable to finish his mocking remark.

Because Sion, now a corpse, is frantically banging on the turret!
Meanwhile, the health bars of EDG's turrets are dropping at a visible rate!

"boom!"

With the collapse of EDG's outer top lane turret, Taobaoquan was stunned.

"We're not brothers, it's just a bet, is it really necessary to go this far?"

At this moment, Taobao Quan obviously did not realize that this was an extreme way of playing Sion, and only thought that Zhou Li was mindlessly pushing towers in order to win the bet with him.

"Enough with the nonsense? Call me Dad!"

Zhou Li's stern rebuke left Taobao Quan frozen in place.

"Call me daddy! Can't you take a joke?!"

"……father!"

"Hey, you big son! Your father is ordering you to shut your mouth right now!"

In the commentary booth, Wawa couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhou Li's actions.

"Wow! This Li has nothing in his eyes but the turrets! He's living up to the idea that League of Legends is a tower-pushing game."

Miller then spoke up:

"But then again, taking the first turret doesn't seem like a bad deal! To be honest, the outer turret in the top lane fell a little too quickly!"

EDG player seats.

The factory manager was stunned for a moment after seeing the top lane tower fall.

"How could you fall so quickly after climbing the tower?"

"Damn it," Kou Rou's tone was clearly filled with resentment, "this guy's out of his mind, he's willing to risk his life just to push the tower."

The factory manager glanced at the already dead Sion, but didn't take it too seriously.

A tower, even if it's the first tower to lose, isn't very important in a strategic sense.

They have already gained an advantage in the bottom lane, and now all they need to do is continue to expand that advantage around the bottom lane.

At the thirteen-minute mark, EDG's bot lane duo had already pushed down the bot lane turret and moved to the top lane.

EDG also launched another gank against imp and pyl who came to defend the tower.

The tree's teleport skill lit up immediately, providing support.

"Zhou Li! T, get up there! The enemy is going to tower dive!"

Hirano Aya's shouts came through.

Zhou Li glanced at the road ahead, but didn't seem to care at all, and said:

"Just let it go, I'll push down the tower."

Zhou Li's judgment was actually entirely correct.

All five opponents are moving towards the top lane, which means they're essentially pushing down a tower.

If LGD chooses to retreat decisively, they can go and take other resources, while Zhou Li can also trade a defensive tower in the bottom lane.

Either way, it's a profit.

The only downside might be that imp's development will be affected.

However, for LGD right now, it is obviously unacceptable that imp's development has been affected.

Moreover, doing so is tantamount to transferring the entire economy to Sain.

If you're just a nobody, what's the point of having so much money?

"Listen to me! Top lane, we can engage in this team fight!"

As soon as Hirano Aya finished speaking, she saw Zhou Li raise his hand and make a gesture on his earphone.

This kid actually turned off his headphones!
Faced with his teammates' constant chatter, Zhou Li simply chose to ignore it.

In fact, this is also one of the essential lessons for playing the suicide Sion build.

The ultimate enjoyment comes from muting all four teammates.

From that moment on, Zhou Li saw nothing but the defensive towers.

LGD, on the top lane, reluctantly engaged in a team fight, losing not only their outer tower but also two players.

Meanwhile, Sion was still hammering the turret with his axe.

After destroying the outer turret in the bottom lane, he caught a glimpse of Taobao Quan Zheng shouting something excitedly out of the corner of his eye.

But it doesn't matter, he can't hear it anyway.

He wouldn't argue with the other party.

This is the essence of the suicide Sion build.

He treats his teammates like NPCs, and the more they provoke and discipline him, the more he enjoys it.

Without this mindset, you can't play the suicide Sion strategy well.

After taking down the bottom outer turret, Zhou Li glanced at the minion wave and, instead of recalling, continued pushing towards the second turret.

At this moment, the netizens in the live broadcast room were completely in an uproar.

Especially LGD fans.

[Holy crap, what on earth is Li doing?]

[He's been pushing lanes and towers like crazy, and he doesn't even provide support when there's a tank available. Is he even human?]

Taobao's power was visibly shaken.

[Incredible! If I had teammates like this, I'd just quit.]

[Still farming, even though the enemy has already recalled to base!]

In the commentary booth, even the little girl couldn't hold back anymore and started pointing and commenting on Zhou Li.

"Wow, to be honest, Li's way of playing games doesn't make any sense! He's completely a lone wolf! And the worst part is he's playing Sion! This is just too outrageous, it feels like he's not even trying to play the game seriously."

Miller nodded and analyzed:

"Judging from the footage of the LGD players' bench just now, it seems there was quite a dispute. Li's team fight participation rate is 0% so far in the match."

The dolls even started a group buy.

"Honestly, we can't have too much of a filter on Korean players. I admit that some Korean players do have professionalism when they come to our LPL, but with so many Korean players, the professional attitude of individual players really needs to be considered."

The moment the doll said that, it was as if the live stream room exploded.

The large number of Korean players that LPL has brought in this year, coupled with the influence of OMG, an all-Chinese super team, has already led to a lot of netizens disliking and boycotting Korean players.

Now, a single sentence from the child has pushed this topic to the forefront.

Zhou Li naturally became the center of the public opinion storm and a negative example of South Korean aid.

However, by this time, Zhou Li had already discarded all distracting thoughts.

All he could see were the defensive towers!

"The big tree and the big mouth are already close! But Li still doesn't seem to be leaving! It looks like he can't escape this wave! But he's still taking down the tower!"

"This person seems to have gone a bit mad!"
