Chapter 116 T1: Luckily, my buddy got home!
"Ding!"

GEN's third pick was Titan, a champion that locks down the enemy's head; neither side seemed inclined to pick Troll Warlord.

LGD banned Mordekaiser for top lane and Elise for jungle, while GEN banned Trundle and LeBlanc.

To prevent BDD's Tsar from having too much of a hard time in the early laning phase.

"Ding!"

GEN picked Clid's signature Lee Sin as their fourth pick.

"Hmm, how about giving me Silas? Woof, I feel like we could get Olaf and the cat?" Diwu suggested.

Does Olaf attack a blind man?
Peanut's eyes sharpened; he was all too familiar with this match.

This was the match where he once faced his idol, Mr. Ming, in the World Championship.

So... let's use this match to eliminate my former team!
"Ding!"

LGD's fourth and fifth picks were Olaf for the jungle and Yuumi for the support role, respectively.

GEN's last pick was Rascal's Camille.

Both teams' lineups are now locked.

Blue side: LGD
Top Lane: Ornn

Jungler: Olaf
Mid lane: Sylas
Bottom Lane: Aphelios and Yuumi

Purple side: GEN
Top Lane: Camille
Jungler: Lee Sin

Mid Lane: Azir

Bottom Lane: Miss Fortune and Nautilus
Both sides entered Summoner's Rift.

"This match will be a huge test for Gala, considering he'll be facing Ruler in lane!!"

Guan Zeyuan's words made Miller next to him purse his lips. Dude? Even if you want to avoid suspicion, you don't have to be so biased towards GEN, do you?
If Ruler is invincible, why didn't he win the LCK championship? Why was he still swept 3-0 by Faker?

Does he not want to win the championship? Does he think Faker doesn't have enough league titles?
The broadcast quickly cut to the mid lane, showing BDD playing Azir against Diwu Sylas.

The champion Azir is absolutely the worst off among many LCK mid laners.

BDD actually had the option to pick Syndra, a very strong champion in this patch, but after glancing at the ID Gnik, he chose to pick Azir, a champion he is most skilled with and that is most representative of LCK mid laners.

"Gala, don't look into the bushes, watch out, those Titans might be lying in wait for you!"

Diwu marked the bush in the bottom lane. In this game, Aphelios was carrying Yuumi, and getting hooked meant certain death.

"I won't be able to manage the top lane much this time, Xuanjun, be careful!" Peanut reminded Flandre beforehand.

In this match, he will focus on playing in the middle lane.

Both junglers chose a jungle route in the top half of the map and both chose to farm towards the bottom lane.

Why is Gnik wearing a Doran's Ring?

Guan Zeyuan was a little confused. In this version, many mid laners start with potions, as starting with potions is very cost-effective.

But Di Wu chose to start with Doran's Ring in this game. Is he that confident in himself?
At level one, Diwu positioned himself quite far forward, and BDD's Sand Soldiers immediately stood among the minions. LCK mid laners' Azir players are quite experienced; with this Sand Soldiers positioned, even if they couldn't poke Sylas, they could still push the lane first.

Furthermore, BDD positioned himself in the back row to prevent Di Wu from mindlessly coming up and trading blows with him.

Seeing this, Di Wu slightly pulled up the minion wave, making the first three minions as close together as possible, and then chose to retreat to create space for the sand soldiers and used Q to finish off the first three minions.

However, BDD still managed to secure level two first, putting pressure on Sylas who was level one and had learned Q.

His eyes couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.
It seems that this so-called LPL Spring Split champion is nothing special.
Di Wu did not attempt to directly confront the Tsar, who possessed a deadly rhythm, but instead chose to temporarily retreat and create distance.

He quickly reached level two. BDD blocked the minion wave in the blue team's mid lane and didn't push forward. He had to prevent the minion wave from going in too quickly and getting hit by Di Wu's level three combo.

If you stay here, having more minions will allow you to reach level three first.
Perhaps Azir has a headache when facing Sylas in ranked games, but what does Sylas matter when facing a mid-lane Azir in the LCK? As long as his E misses, Sylas is just a target to be hit by his own movement.

BDD's early game pressure with Azir was indeed quite good, and with the added boost of Lethal Tempo, Diwu's health was reduced by a third.

When Sylas arrived at level three with a golden glow emanating from him, he immediately turned around and stepped forward, putting pressure on the Tsar.

"Oh? Instead of retreating, you want to fight back?" Di Wu's eyes flashed coldly.

Looking at the sand soldiers standing at his feet, Di Wu did not hesitate at all. He used E to move forward, and the moment he was face to face with W, he lashed the Tsar with his whip.

The moment Sylas used his passive A skill, he countered with a Q, gathering two sand soldiers at Sylas's feet.

As he thrust, he retreated to create distance. However, just as he was concentrating on dodging Sylas's E with his movement, Sylas's chain suddenly moved upwards, causing BDD to turn his head to face downwards. BDD's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively twisted towards the direction of Sylas's chain.

"Caught you!"

The chain perfectly locked Tsar, and in the next instant, Sylas used an auto-attack to strike, throwing Q at Tsar's feet while simultaneously using another auto-attack.

The second Q burst out, Conqueror was at level 1 and maxed out, and Azir's health was immediately reduced to one-third. He drank a potion and used W and E to create distance.

"Aish!!!"

what is that?
Am I seeing things? Sylas's E should have been pointing in the direction he was facing at first glance, so why did it suddenly shake?
This is the legendary chain-shaking technique!?
"what?"

The two commentators in the commentary booth felt something was off about the scene, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was strange.

Di Wu pursed his lips. The Tsar, who hadn't gone home this time, was already a corpse!

Sylas can change his facing direction by pressing Q at the moment of the second part of E. By slightly turning his head at the moment of E2, he directly caused BDD's brain to shut down!

This is also a feature of the game, commonly known as the game mechanics!
The minion wave is now blocked in front of your own turret. Azir's skill cooldown is longer than yours, and you even used your E skill first.

BDD could only return home to teleport out, but Di Wu knew that BDD wouldn't choose to return home so early.

He was wearing a potion of corruption at the start of the day, which allowed him to slowly recover his health by consuming it. However, Di Wu glanced at his E skill, which still had 5 seconds left.

"321!"

Seeing the Tsar dare to turn back, Diwu was certain that Clid was already beside him. But... you dare to come back? You really don't think you're human!
Just as Azir returned to farm the lane, Sylas used his E to pull forward, then flashed and used his W to slam Azir into him. He then landed with an AQ combo, using his E to dash behind Azir. "Predictive Flash!!" Miller shouted. BDD's Flash seemed to be voice-activated, immediately appearing in the direction where Diwu had released the chain.

"Huh? No!" Guan Zeyuan's face turned ashen. BDD! What are you doing? You've ruined the last shred of LCK mid laners like this?

The instant the Flash landed, Clid, who was in the river bush in the mid lane, rushed out to try and save BDD.

But Silas's whip doesn't care whether you can spin it or not. Today, even if you don't want to spin, you'll have to start spinning it.

TES's logo looks like a spinning top, and your GEN's logo is a spinning top!
"Since things have come to this, if I say you're a spinning top, then you are a spinning top!"

"First Blood!"

The moment the whip lashed off the Tsar's head, Guan Zeyuan in the commentary booth finally understood why Di Wu had taken the Dolan Ring with him.

He had it all figured out; it would take BDD's yellow chicken's life with just two sets of skills!
However, Di Wu's health was only half at this moment, and he hadn't used Flash yet, so Clid naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by.

As the minion wave was pushed forward by W, the player flashed and used E to hit Sylas, putting Sylas in a skill cooldown period.

The blind man's damage was enough; even if Sylas was stuck with the red buff, he was still dead!

Clid didn't rush to use his Q skill, but instead used auto-attacks to apply the slow effect and then used his E skill to apply the passive effect.

Peanut emerged from the narrow passage between his own jungle and F6, and yes, he was also counter-ganking while Clid was nearby.

Olaf threw an axe at the blind man and flashed forward.

Di Wu immediately understood and moved one step behind Olaf!

Ok?
Clid's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, if Sylas managed to get behind Olaf, he wouldn't be able to kill him.

Now the damage from Q should be enough, and my W will be almost off cooldown soon. I can Q this Sylas to death, then use the ward in my hand to pull away.

With a clear strategy, Clid launched a Sonic Wave towards Diwu, but Sylas suddenly twisted to the side, easily dodging the Q skill, and then flicked a frog-shaped question mark emoticon.

"Ah~ Shiba! What weird movement!"

The Q missed, and Clid's first thought was actually to give up on chasing Sylas...

BDD's voice came through his headset.

"Clid!! Move your ward forward, I'm teleporting! We can kill him!"

BDD had already died and respawned, and chose to TP to the minion wave.

Touch forward to his eye! Sylas is about two auto-attacks away from finishing. But... touching forward might kill him, right? As a master of blindness, he knows how to kite; he needs a backup plan to survive before going in.
However, BDD had already used his TP, so he didn't have a chance to hesitate. He used his W, which had just been deactivated, to ward up and chase Sylas.

Di Wu's lips curled up slightly. "You really dare to come?"
Sylas turned around and used his W to quickly recover some health before retreating. Olaf activated his W and then swung his axe at Lee Sin with his E. Combined with the red buff's slow effect, Lee Sin was unable to chase down Sylas.

Di Wuhou withdrew and stood on the grass in the lower river channel, his expression lighting up.

"So close! So close!"

The low-health Sylas was right in front of him, but he just couldn't touch him. Olaf's axe kept slashing at the blind man's body the moment the Tsar landed.

The blind man couldn't hold on any longer and fell down. BDD, who had just landed with TP, immediately used WEQ to drift towards Sylas, who only had a little over 100 health left.

Sylas brought the Composure skill instead of Triumph for health regeneration; that amount of health was too tempting.

"Huh? Are you crazy?"

Di Wu snorted coldly, and while using E to retreat, he used Q to slow down the approaching Azir and threw it at his feet.

The next instant, Peanut's axe flew to Azir's feet, Olaf's movement speed was accelerated, and the axe and Sylas's Q slowed him down. Back and forth, according to the theory of relativity in the Rift, Azir was once again frozen in place.

Olaf pressed his hand against the Tsar's face, and Diwu turned around and chained the Tsar with a second E.

Two whips lashed down, combined with Olaf's follow-up damage!

"LGD Gnik has killed GEN BDD!"

"what?"

Guan Zeyuan opened his mouth, but all he felt was the rising temperature and dry mouth.

Is this Nakano? Is it a person? Like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather! Are you deliberately setting me up, Ruler?
The LPL's official home broadcast director did not immediately switch to first-person perspective or replay, but instead switched to Di Wu's live camera.

Below the large screen, Di Wu had already stood up, seemingly rummaging through his coat pocket.
"Oh? What is Gnik pulling out? Huh!? Enlarged Mirror!? What does that mean!" Miller's lips twitched wildly as if he already knew what was going on.

Di Wu made a "small" gesture with his right thumb and forefinger, and then took out a magnifying glass with his left hand to magnify the "small".

And he roared angrily at the GEN battle stage.

I can't see you!

"Want to kill me? You're probably not that far off~~"

hiss! ! !
The audience in the front row gasped in surprise.

"Wow! This is a props competition! G-Ge's props are getting more and more professional!"

"Hahahaha, you even hid a magnifying glass? That really shows respect for GEN!"

T1: Thank goodness my buddy got home! He escaped a disaster. Who could withstand that?

"They let T1 get away, so they're taking all their anger out on GEN!"

GEN: Hey buddy? It's not like I lit up this mouse! Why are you taking it out on me?

"Such a small action can cause so much damage~~"
