Chapter 79 Sword Shadows Bewilder the Han General, Limitless True Qi Breaks Through the Mysterious Barrier

OGN official commentary channel.

Jeon Yongjun spoke up:
"I feel that if Lion picks Master Yi, it's actually good news for us. Although Master Yi is very terrifying in the late game when he gets fed, I think Najin will definitely try to target him in the early game."

"We know that AP Master Yi is very annoying in lane. His Q skill deals a lot of damage, and he also has a W skill that can heal him. But if Master Yi tries to use his Q skill to poke Karthus, the minion wave will definitely push to Najin's tower. At that point, if our jungler comes to gank, we have a very good chance of killing Master Yi!"

As soon as Jeon Yongjun finished speaking, the robot that ran to the mid lane placed a ward in the river bush below the mid lane.

"Oh! So you've already placed the ward in the mid lane?! That's fine then..."

In the Mars live broadcast room.

The online discussion didn't seem very lively.

Some netizens left after seeing Lee Sin get knocked out.

After seeing Zhou Li choose the Sword Saint, another group of people left.

The remaining netizens are still expressing their dissatisfaction.

Why am I playing Master Yi?

Lee Sin got banned, so let's play something else. Anyone can play Master Yi.

[Yeah, the Sword Saint is such a simple hero, there's really nothing interesting about him.]

Is the Sword Saint difficult to master?

[Haha, the first hero I ever played was Master Yi. Just unleash his ultimate and hack away!]

To be honest, AP Master Yi is even easier than AD Master Yi.

[This is boring, I'm outta here.]

At this point, the two sides' minion waves have already converged in the middle lane.

As soon as Karthus came out, he started using basic attacks on Zhou Li's Sword Saint.

But Zhou Li completely ignored Karthus and just focused on pushing the lane.

For AP Master Yi, with the high regeneration from his W skill, health is not an issue at all.

What he needs to do is become soldier A.

When there are only three minions left, use Q again.

The range of the Master Yi's Q skill is very wide. Even though SSONG had already created distance in advance, he was still hit by the Master Yi's Q.

It immediately lost nearly a third of its health.

Seeing this barbaric and brutal harm, Zhou Li couldn't help but click his tongue.

As a mid-lane carry build, AP Master Yi is indeed a bit overpowered.

Moreover, it doesn't require any technical operation at all.

After being scratched twice by the Sword Saint, SSONG felt the pressure and suffocation.

However, at the same time, the Sword Saint had already quickly pushed the minion wave over.

Watch, the jungler, didn't even need SSong to say anything before he approached.

Nunu and Karthus together clearly don't have enough damage to kill Master Yi.

However, with the Blademaster positioned so far forward, casting a dodge spell is no problem at all.

"Watch out, they're trying to gank Master Yi with two levels, but there are wards in the bushes!"

Looking at Watch crouching in the grass, Jeon Yong-jun desperately wished that Watch could hear his voice.

Zhou Li, who was in the middle of the road, had naturally already seen Watch's movements.

However, he did not turn around directly, nor did he even retreat; he simply moved slightly to the left, seemingly unintentionally.

It was as if they hadn't noticed anyone in the bushes.

This just gives Watch a psychologically ambiguous distance.

Whenever Watch wanted to turn around and leave, he would take two steps forward to give Watch a chance.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

For a jungler, the first ten seconds are crucial.

Mingkai naturally noticed the enemy jungler's movements and said:

"Brother Zhou, shall we counter-gank?"

Hearing Mingkai's words, Zhou Li shook his head.

"No need, just go and eat his blue."

Mingkai's Maokai, along with his AP Master Yi, didn't deal much damage in the early game.

It's simply impossible to kill the opponent.

Meaningless fights like this will only hinder your development. Hearing Zhou Li's words, Ming Kai controlled Maokai and headed straight for Najin's jungle.

Meanwhile, Watch was completely unaware of the situation and was still waiting in the mid-lane bushes for the Sword Saint to reveal a weakness.

Jeon Yongjun watched the live stream and screamed anxiously.

"Wow! Watch! There are eyes in the grass! Haven't you noticed yet?! Lion's acting is just too good!!"
The audience began to stir.

As the crowd began to organize, a series of unified voices gradually rose from the audience.

"Eye!!!"

In this open-air environment with thousands of people, and given that the e-sports equipment at the time wasn't very good, Watch quickly heard the audience's cheers.

Of course, Zhou Li heard this as well.

Mingkai couldn't help but ask:
"What are those idiots yelling about?"

Zhou Li, who was fluent in Korean, smiled and said, "They're telling the other side that there's an eye in the grass."

"Holy crap! Is this how they report things?!"

Zhou Li didn't pay much attention, and simply said, "It's no surprise that the Koreans do anything. The more they do this, the more I want to shit on their heads."

Fortunately, Mingkai had already consumed Najin's blue buff. When Watch arrived at his own blue buff, Mingkai immediately activated his signature skill to escape, leaving Watch with only a trail of exhaust fumes.

Watch cursed and looked at WE's jungle, feeling very unwilling.

He looked at himself as he set off.

The Irelia is currently in the top lane, relentlessly attacking Shen like he's her son.

If the reworked Shen is the father of the reworked Irelia, then before both champions were reworked, Irelia was truly the mother of Shen.

At this moment, the Irelia has crowd control, true damage, and healing, making her incredibly powerful.

Throughout 2012, Irelia underwent a total of eleven nerfs.

Even so, Irelia remains the top-tier top laner among the three.

The saying "One version, one god; every version nerfs Irelia" originated from this time.

Watch sent a signal to the enemy jungle and said:

"I want to enter their jungle, can you help me check?"

In a 3v3 situation involving the top, mid, and jungle, Najin's lineup is definitely stronger than WE's.

Nunu's W skill hits Irelia, and then Irelia activates her W skill. Shen and Maokai are like paper in front of Irelia.

On the other hand, what does WE have?
Upon hearing Watch's words, top laner Maknoon spoke up:

"No problem, I can go first."

SSONG then said:

"I'm not as fast as the Sword Saint."

“It’s okay,” Watch said, not caring whether the mid laner could provide immediate support. “It’s just an AP Master Yi.”

He started heading towards WE's jungle, while Makoon used Irelia's Q skill to quickly push the lane and clear minions, disappearing from the lane.

Strawberry, seeing that the Irelia had disappeared, said:

"Mingkai, they've probably gone looking for you!"

Mingkai was enjoying his own red buff when he heard Strawberry's words. Nunu and Irelia had already emerged, leaving him with no choice but to give up the red buff.

But Irelia didn't seem to want Maokai to leave so easily, and immediately used her Q to attack.

The E skill's slow effect was applied to Maokai.

Seeing that he was stuck and not in good condition, Mingkai was about to use Flash when a message popped up on the screen.

[WE_lion (Master Yi) has killed Najin_SSONG (Death Singer)!]

First blood!

A gasp erupted from the crowd!
The director's camera was focused on the jungle area.

How did the mid laner suddenly get a solo kill?!

"What's going on?! Karthus got solo killed in the mid lane?!"

Jeon Yong-jun stared wide-eyed, his voice filled with confusion.

While AP Master Yi is very strong in the mid lane, his skill mechanics make it unlikely that he can secure a solo kill.

And Karthus was standing right under his own tower at that time!
"Oh! What happened? Why did he die?!"

On the Najin player bench, SSONG still looked surprised when he heard Watch's complaint.

"I don't know! Why did I die?! How could I die when I was at half health?!"
