Chapter 334 E-sports Hawking Double Laydown, Half-paralyzed Exercise in Desperate Situation

With two kills secured, the game ended at least ten minutes earlier.

"We've collected the points, brothers!"

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Kakao confirmed them again.

"Brother, have you collected the points?"

"Take it, take it."

Having received Zhou Li's confident answer once again, kakao reached out and touched the gaming chair.

The gaming chair reclined completely.

Kakao, half-reclining in his chair, began to speak:

"Brother said the score is settled, so I can relax a bit."

At that moment, the director's camera happened to be focused on Kakao.

Thus, the entire scene of Kakao going from sitting upright to suddenly lying down was broadcast live.

【? ? ? 】

【what? 】

[Hey bro, how come he got knocked down in the middle of the game?]

[Is it paralyzed?]

[Esports Stephen Hawking.]

[Zhou got two kills, Kakao doesn't want to play anymore.]

Perhaps the director felt that broadcasting Kakao's half-paralyzed appearance would have a bad influence, so he switched the camera to Zhou Li.

While netizens were still discussing it, the next second, Zhou Li's entire body leaned backward.

At this point, netizens completely lost their temper.

[Holy crap, you're paralyzed too?]

【What does this mean? 】

[Fun fact: Paralysis is an infectious disease.]

[Hahaha, I laughed so hard. 】

These two comparisons are hilarious!

[Acorn: Are you being polite?]

[Where's the revenge battle we were promised?! Why is everyone just lounging around like Ge You?! Get the party started, you bastards!]

[Zhou Chu: LGD is nothing, I can easily dominate them even while lying down.]

The netizens were just joking, but their words came true.

The return of Irelia to the online scene has deprived Acorn of even the right to gain experience.

Originally, Irelia was a completely late-game champion, and in the early game, she could only withstand pressure in lane.

But now, Irelia's development is a full ten minutes ahead!
When Zhou Li pushed another wave of minions to Nautilus's tower, Irelia had already reached level six, while Nautilus was only level four.

This wave of minions isn't meant for Acorn to eat, but rather to help Zhou Li dive the tower.

With a huge level and equipment advantage, killing Gnar only requires the simplest and most straightforward method.

Zhou Li, controlling Irelia, walked straight to the tower, letting Acorn tug at her from below.

After finally getting close, Balanced Strike stunned Gnar in place, while simultaneously activating his ultimate!
The Supreme Blade flew out, and as it struck Gnar, Zhou Li deliberately adjusted the angle so that the damage of the ultimate skill would simultaneously hit the next wave of blue minions approaching the tower.

Then he activated his W skill and started auto-attacking Gnar.

Acorn used his E skill to jump backward, and Irelia used the minions damaged by his ultimate to quickly dash in and close the distance again. Then, Bilgewater's Blade Slash slowed down Gnar, offsetting the slow effect of Gnar's Q skill, and Acorn chased after Gnar and continued to hack away!
[IG_Zhou (Blade Dancer) has killed LGD_Acorn (Lost Tooth)!]

"Oh!"

A gasp of surprise erupted as Irelia secured the solo kill!
"Wow! The difference in skill between the two top laners is just too big! Irelia just tower-dived and killed Gnar! Acorn is even less likely to be able to play now. Nearly two waves of minions pushed into the tower, and Acorn only got the experience from three minions!!"

Meanwhile, Kakao, who was paralyzed, also found an opportunity in the mid lane.

Seeing that Ueno had already exploded, Wei Shen, who had reached level six, couldn't help but want to find an opportunity to gain an advantage in the mid lane. However, he was counter-ganked by Kakao and gave away a kill.

The chat room was buzzing with excitement.

[Oh, so you're doing tower jumping like that?]

[Even Wei Shen has fallen!]

[LGD completely crushed their opponents in the first ten minutes!]

[Irelia's early game performance is already an advantage if she doesn't put pressure on the enemy; is Acorn even human to play like this?]

Lee Sin is still too strong, let's nerf Irelia.

Is Irelia still playable? They might as well nerf her again and rework her.

[Is Zhou Chu on drugs? He's so energetic today.]

Actually, Zhou Chu is quite strong for LGD too; his top lane Vayne game was truly amazing.

He's actually pretty good at playing tanks; he always gets lane priority in the top lane.

Are LGD's management even human?

With a huge advantage, IG immediately began to speed up their pace.

When Irelia respawned, Kakao's Lee Sin had already moved towards the top lane.

Facing a completely collapsed Gnar, the two easily tower-dived. Kakao then invaded Taobaoquan's upper jungle, while Zhou Li pushed down IG's outer top lane tower.

At this point, LGD was in complete disarray.

The top laner, Irelia, is still pushing; they need to find a way to eliminate this point.

Now, if we send Gnar to defend the tower, even if he stands under the second tower, it's clear he won't be able to hold it.

This forced Taobao Quan to move to the top lane to protect Gnar and let him farm under the tower.

However, Kakao had already swept up all the resources in their own upper jungle, leaving the excavator with no resources to farm.

Fortunately, imp in the bottom lane finally pushed down IG's bottom lane turret, and LGD immediately switched lanes, letting imp and Hirano Aya switch to the top lane to farm.

Faced with LGD's lane swap, IG indeed chose to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

Irelia continued to push the top lane.

At this point, the Irelia was incredibly overpowered.

Even when facing the bot lane duo, there was absolutely no pressure.

The pressure is actually on LGD's side.

imp and pyl only dared to clear the minion wave in front of the tower, or even near the river.

Because the current Irelia is truly capable of taking on two opponents at once.

However, LGD certainly cannot accept this situation.

If you can't push the lane after switching lanes, how are you supposed to play?
IG's bot lane was in a 2v1 situation, which gave them room to farm again, while LGD's bot lane turret was also on the verge of collapse.

If this drags on, the economic gap between the two sides will only widen.

We absolutely have to take down a bunch of Irelia!
Wei Shen, who was recalling, clicked on the Irelia who was pushing the lane to the front of his second tower and said:

"Taobao Quan, go all out! We have to take him down! I'm teleporting behind him!"

LGD's vision control had already spotted Lee Sin in the bottom half of the map, intending to coordinate with the bot lane duo to continue ganking and diving Gnar.

Rookie's Orianna had just used Teleport.

This is the best opportunity for LGD to place an order!

The moment Fizz's Teleport activated, the ear-piercing roar of Rek'Sai starting up echoed across the entire Summoner's Rift map. Rek'Sai's ultimate ability allows him to emerge directly from any hole on the map.

Zhou Li glanced at the screen and, upon seeing the TP beams lighting up in the bushes behind him, quickly retreated.

The Slark's Teleport (TP) was activated even earlier than the Excavator's ultimate. As soon as the Slark landed, the Excavator rushed out of the tunnel.

At this moment, the four LGD players almost surrounded Irelia, with Corki and Janna in front and Fizz and Rek'Sai behind.

"LGD couldn't hold back any longer and decided to make a move on Irelia! This is a four-on-one gank! GodV and Taobaoquan have completely blocked Zhou Li's escape route. Irelia seems to be in great danger and may not be able to escape!"

The live chat was filled with comments.

[Zhou Chu's play was too arrogant; he carried the team so deep without his teammates.]

[They have very little discipline.]

"They said it because they were hooked."

[You can't resist seeing Imp, can you?]

[This is a guaranteed death. But the bottom lane turret should be destroyed by now; trading one life for a turret isn't a bad deal.]

[Hey buddy, he's fucking dead and still paralyzed?]

[Since we're going to die anyway, why sit up?]

Despite being surrounded by four people, Zhou Li remained calm and composed.

In this situation where you are outnumbered, you must figure out which character is the most threatening and which crowd control abilities are the least effective!
Although Janna and Corki have an advantage in the bottom lane, Corki's damage output hasn't really picked up yet.

The burst damage of Fizz and Excavator is very high.

If she gets crowd-controlled, and all four of them rush in, even with Irelia's passive that increases tenacity, she might be instantly killed by the massive damage.

After all, he only has a pair of cloth armor shoes, a broken sword, and a small ice hammer, so he's still quite fragile.

So, what is LGD's most reliable control strategy?

Tao Quan controlled the excavator, rushing quickly towards Zhou Li's direction.

His finger was already on the F key for teleportation.

Although it was a four-on-one situation, their equipment and levels were significantly lower than Irelia's.

The Fizz, playing mid lane, is only level 8, while Irelia has already solo-pushed to level 10.

He was the worst off, as a jungler whose level was the same as the support, only reaching level six.

Taobao Quan really didn't want to see Zhou Li continue to show off.

Every time Zhou Li acted arrogantly in this game, it was like slapping the LGD team in the face.

Therefore, he chose the safest way to initiate a team fight, cooperating with Wei Shen and imp's output to instantly kill the Irelia, avoiding any unforeseen complications and not giving Zhou Li any room or opportunity to make any moves!

"Taobao's power is leading the way! Flash top!! Wait, what's going on! How did they manage to dodge that flash top?!"

The moment the excavator's Flash appeared, Irelia's Flash also lit up!
The doll was still spouting nonsense: "Wow, Zhou Li's reaction was quick!"

Miller couldn't help but say, "But you can't dodge a Flash Attack!"

But what's absurd about this is that you can't dodge the excavator's sudden top movement just by reacting!

There are two ways to flash the top of the excavator: one is to flash A, and the other is to flash W.

Both can knock the opponent up, but the difference is that Flash W has a larger range, while Flash A is something the opponent cannot dodge!

As a professional player, Taobaoquan would not make the basic mistake of using Flash W instead of Flash A in a four-on-one situation.

The only way to dodge Flash A is to predict the enemy's movement. Your Flash needs to be faster than theirs to pull them out of the Rek'Sai's attack range.

However, this creates another problem.

Because in this way, the excavator is essentially not doing anything, so it will remain underground. When the excavator catches up, it can still lift you up.

But the situation is different here with Taobao Quan. He didn't knock the girl away, but instead came out from underground!

Miller instantly realized what was happening as he watched the red team soldier being knocked away.

"I understand! That Flash from Irelia made Taobaoquan's mouse click right on the minions!"

The Taobao rights that were unearthed were stunned for a moment, and at this moment, the Irelia's Flash directly crashed into the Fizz's face!

Balanced strike!

Zhou Li's decision was so decisive that even Wei Shen was completely caught off guard.

Irelia stunned Fizz in place and immediately activated her ultimate.

The ultimate ability was launched not at Fizz, but at the blue minion wave that was walking towards him!

Zhou Li's Irelia maxed out her E skill in this game.

A fully upgraded E skill grants a stun duration of two seconds.

This is enough time for Irelia's AWA to reset her auto-attack and unleash four auto-attacks!
With the true damage from the W skill, just four hits, plus the damage from the E skill, nearly reduced the Fizz to half health.

Wei Shen kept his finger on R, wanting to unleash his ultimate move the moment the control ended.

At this point, the additional damage effect from the ultimate skill's range is completely irrelevant; the key is to immediately apply crowd control.

But by this time, Zhou Li had already figured out Wei Shen's mindset.

He kept mentally calculating the control time, and just as the stun from his E skill was about to wear off, he used his Q skill in the opposite direction to charge directly towards the minion wave!

"Fuck!!"

In LGD's voice chat, it was Wei Shen's furious roar!

"Instead of retreating, Irelia charged towards the minion wave! Hey! This actually dodged Wei Shen's close-range ultimate!! What's going on?! Fizz is in trouble for missing his ultimate!!"

Seeing Irelia charging straight at them, LGD's bot lane duo visibly panicked.

Hirano Aya immediately used her Q skill to try and knock up Irelia, but how could Irelia, who was roaming among the minions, possibly get hit by Janna's Q?

Zhou Li doesn't just randomly tap anywhere with his Q skill. His seemingly dazzling Q skills that seem to penetrate enemy ranks are actually very targeted!
With mobility and flash abilities, the plane and Janna are definitely not his primary targets!

Suddenly, Irelia turned around and used her Q skill to dash towards the low-health minion next to Fizz!

He knew that Wei Shen had been caught out by Kakao and forced to use Flash just three minutes ago!
Seeing Irelia charge in, Wei Shen used his Q skill to kite her horizontally, but Irelia was clearly determined to kill him, and this time she used her Q skill to charge at Fizz!

"His QQ account is disconnected!"

Wei Shen shouted anxiously!

However, by this time, LGD had already used up their first wave of control!
The damage from the Irelia was higher than Wei Shen had expected, and he was about to be killed by her auto-attacks. With no other choice, Wei Shen had to use his E skill to avoid the damage and create distance.

Seeing the little fish retreat, Zhou Li did not choose to chase after it, but turned around and ran away as well.

"My god, this Irelia player's skill level is too high! How did they even survive?"

In the commentary booth, Miller had already been sweating bullets for Zhou Li, and his tone was full of disbelief.

However, seeing the Irelia with half health remaining, LGD naturally couldn't just let Zhou Li leave.

Taobao Quan burrowed back underground and began the pursuit. Once his W skill's cooldown was over, Zhou Li's death was imminent!
"But LGD is still chasing! Can Zhou Li escape?!"

Miller's tone was full of urgency, but the next second, when he saw the contestant's camera, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"The Rites of Zhou!!!"

Miller's voice was filled with surprise, disbelief, and horror; the incredulity almost seemed to leap off the screen and onto the faces of the viewers!
"no!!

Miller's voice was completely distorted.

"You're still half-slumped in the chair and operating it in this condition?!"

The next moment, Miller's voice was completely out of control.

"He even turned his head and chatted and laughed with Kakao next to him!! At least show me the screen!!!"
