LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 167 The Referee! This is discrimination, this is a personal attack!! (2-in-1 6k)

Upon entering Summoner's Rift, Diwu placed the gank on GEN's bottom lane.

In this match, he didn't choose to bring Teleport, but instead brought Exhaust, while Lucian brought Cleanse.

Compared to later versions of Pantheon, this version has a slightly longer cooldown on Q, and while E doesn't provide a speed boost, it can still block all damage from one direction, including from turrets.

It's like trading stronger functionality for a little more damage, which is why Pantheon became so popular as a support in this World Championship.

"Let's go! Let's see if we can catch this Ashe Karma and take over the herb!"

Clid is playing Gragas as a jungler in this game, so he's unlikely to choose to enter Elise's jungle.

Ashe and Karma might choose to gank the bot lane bushes, potentially catching Ruler and relieving some pressure on the bot lane.

LGD's five players gathered in the bottom lane bush and quickly moved into the bush.

Mark, who was in the lead, activated his scanner, and two red figures were spotted in the bush in the middle of the bottom lane.

Ok?
Di Wu was stunned for a moment. They took over the bushes so quickly. Just as he expected, Ruler would definitely come to take over the bushes to gain an advantage when he got such a strong bot lane champion.

"Ding!"

Almost simultaneously, Ruler's and Mark's wards were placed in the opponent's bushes.

Di Wu instantly used his W skill and landed on Ruler's face. The instant Ruler saw the five LGD players in the bush...

The camera feed in the lower left corner clearly startled him so much he almost jumped up.

However, while being startled, Ruler's terrifying reaction speed allowed him to activate his purification almost instantly.

"Ding!"

Mark flashed forward to try and land a Q on Ashe to follow up with crowd control, but Ruler had already flashed out as well.

"Holy crap! His reaction was incredibly fast!"

Mark was taken aback. He had always seen Di Wu react so quickly, and seeing this kind of reaction from his opponent was still a bit unusual for him.

However, Leona casually used her Q on Karma, and Peanut didn't hesitate to learn Cocoon and followed up with an E to connect with Leona's control.

In an instant, Life was melted away by Pantheon's final spear before he could offer anything.

"First Blood!"

"Assi!!"

Life let out a furious roar of resentment, "That's too despicable! LGD played such a despicable game!"

They actually predicted that the bot lane duo would take the bush early. Given LGD's lineup, they might not win a level 5v5 fight, but if it's an ambush, they'll definitely be able to kill one of them first.

It's Ruler's muscle instincts that allow him to execute the DF combo so smoothly. If it were any other ADC, like the one with the brother's rough defensive Cleanse, the Cleanse would be used even a little slower and then instantly killed by the follow-up control.

"Wow? That's ruthless! LGD anticipated that Ruler would bring Karma to the bottom lane to take the bush and gain an advantage! They directly forced Ruler to use both summoner spells!" Godv couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Di Wu also got the first blood. Although the famous Pantheon master Doinb said that Pantheon's kills are worthless, one kill is equivalent to one-third of a kill, but dying once is equivalent to dying three times.

Even if they secured first blood, it still depends on whether the momentum will be broken. From Godv's perspective, this Pantheon pick is still not a particularly good choice.

"But the bot lane must be having a pretty good time, right?"

Godv looked at Karma's blacked-out avatar.

During GEN's voiceover, Ruler glanced at Life, and Life couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

He already received some "special training" from his older brothers at the hotel yesterday, and today he seems to have played even worse...

"Dingwen~"

"To!"

Life shuddered when he heard Ruler call his name.

"Hey, the enemy ADC, GALA, is a player born in 01, he..."

???

Upon hearing Ruler's words, Life narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a player born in 01.

Beneath that mature, bitter face, there was actually a contestant younger than himself?

"Brother! I understand!!"

Life nodded repeatedly. "You're a young guy born in 01, right? I love bullying you young guys."

Ruler nodded as he looked at Life. Finally... he could muster some motivation, right?
Life is really quite similar to myself, especially in terms of its strict hierarchical structure.
In the commentary booth, Miller nodded repeatedly as he watched Pantheon secure the first blood: "Nice! Gnik's first blood, that ambush was brilliant!"

"We anticipated Ruler's thoughts!"

Back to the laning phase, Karma died once, and Ashe didn't have her summoner spells. Now...

No? This is the bottom lane laning phase, right?
Miller stared at the image on the big screen with a furrowed brow…

When the first wave of lanes clashed, Ruler, without using either summoner spell, immediately stepped forward to put pressure on Ezreal and Leona. The instant Ezreal used his Q and Ruler dodged it, Ashe used her W to slow and attach to Leona.

Karma, who was nearby, circled around from the bushes and used her RQ combo. The overwhelming firepower of the Ashe-Karma bot lane duo completely suppressed the LGD bot lane duo.

While he might secure the lane and ensure his second-place finish, Life had already moved into the bush in LGD's bottom lane to pressure Leona.

A level 1 Leona has no rights in front of Karma. Karma's next Q hits GALA again, suppressing the health of LGD's bot lane duo.

"Damn it, this bot lane matchup..." Wawa said with a bitter expression, "Because Peanut's Elise learns E at level one, GALA must have helped her engage, or maybe she came back to lane later!"

In addition, Karma landed both of her Qs early on, giving Ashe absolute dominance and making it impossible for her to gain experience in the bot lane.

Miller scratched his head. This... can't be?

Although I knew the bottom lane might have a tough time, I didn't expect it to be this tough.

Ruler, a veteran ADC, is still very powerful when he gets a lane advantage against a champion, even after losing both summoner spells.

Clid immediately ganked the bottom lane. Since Ashe in the bottom lane didn't have her summoner spells, he had to go protect her first. Elise is a champion that can reach level 3 quickly. Even if LGD's bottom lane helped initiate, Clid was afraid that Peanut would play a variation and go directly to the bottom lane to find Ashe who didn't have her summoner spells.

When the camera switched to the mid lane, Lucian tried to cross the minion wave to steal some health from Pantheon, but Diwu landed a W right in his face.

BDD cleansed away Pantheon's W, then retreated and kited while continuously outputting damage to suppress Pantheon's health. Diwu was naturally not afraid at all, and applied Exhaust to Lucian. With the help of Red W and auto-attacks, Conqueror was already maxed out. If it came down to auto-attacks, this Lucian would not be a match for him.

"Hmph? You actually dare to look at me even once?"

Lucian is a champion with a short range. With an attack range of 500 yards, he faces his own W with a range of 600 yards. As long as Lucian can hit him, no matter how much he tries to kite, he will be caught by Lucian's W.

The current version of Pantheon may not have as much damage as it will later, but Exhaust can completely make up for that difference. Moreover, he got first blood at level 1 and has an extra Long Sword. With Conqueror stacked on him quickly, he can hold his own against Lucian at close range.

It's clear that BDD hasn't had much experience laning against Pantheon. He panicked immediately after being hit by Exhaust and used Flash to save his health.

"Wow? So much pressure?" Di Wu smiled. BDD was once considered a child prodigy.

I feel a lot of pressure in GEN! After all, GEN is ultimately Ruler's team.

However, Lucian, who had used Flash, could chase and poke Pantheon several times while waiting for Diwu's W cooldown, and Pantheon's health dropped to about half.

But as Di Wu retreated and was attacked, he took a hit of the red potion and attacked the minions around him as he walked.

Because he jumped directly into Lucian's face, he tanked more minions. While GEN's minions focused fire on Pantheon, Diwu had already gained the advantage of the first wave of minions in the mid lane.

This is similar to Sett's strategy of using health to push the lane, and it also dealt a significant amount of damage to Lucian, as well as knocking out both of Lucian's summoner spells.

"Prosperous!"

Little Peanut understood immediately after Di Wu just said that!
Peanut, who had just taken the blue buff, did not hesitate at all and headed directly from the river towards GEN's F6 camp, which was located at the narrow pass in the mid lane.

Lucian has used both Cleanse and Flash, this is a perfect opportunity!

BDD was actually panicking inside. He had no Flash or Cleanse, while Di Wu still had Flash. If the Spider came looking for him at level three, he seemed to have no chance of survival.

What he didn't know was that Peanut was already stuck at the edge of the F6 pass, and Gragas, who had just finished his blue buff and was heading towards the bottom half of the map, was also heading towards the bottom half of the map.

Peanut and Clid weren't actually very far apart, but Clid had no idea that Peanut was already in position.

Online Diwu has already reached level two, while Lucian is far away, accumulating experience to reach level two, and only dares to move forward slightly after acquiring his E skill.

"Little Peanut's position!?"

Miller clenched his fists in the commentary booth. Peanut's play was a bit too aggressive; if he missed his level 2 gank, his own jungle would fall behind considerably.
But the moment BDD took a small step forward, a cold glint flashed in Di Wu's eyes.

This is the opportunity!

I love playing Lucian!

"Ding!"

The instant Di Wu used Flash, Red W sat on Lucian's face, and Peanut, positioned at the F6 choke point, simultaneously emerged.

When BDD saw Pantheon flash in, he actually had some thoughts. Pantheon's damage shouldn't be enough to kill him. After stunning him, he could use his E to create distance and instead kite Pantheon.

but.
The spider emerging from the F6 pass filled him with despair. Peanut dared not hold back at all, using an E-Flash followed by Pantheon's stun.

After using Q, he switched to Spider Form and took a bite out of Lucian.

Di Wu AQ turned and thrust his spear!
"LGD Gnik has killed GEN BDD!"

???

We've seen plenty of second-level betting on the bottom, but second-level betting on the middle?!
Wang Hu Ge!!!
Bullying! This is blatant bullying by the 80s generation!!!
BDD could only purse his lips to hide his helplessness at this moment. Di Wu came up to exchange his Purify and Flash for this wave, right?

Without cleanse, if Pantheon and Elise connect their crowd control, even a thousand lives wouldn't be enough to kill him!
"Nice! Woof!"

Di Wu smiled and nodded. "That's really how it's supposed to be done!"

If this lineup doesn't attack in the early game, are they just waiting to be dragged down and killed by the opponent?

GEN is a team that's very good at playing the tortoise.

"Ah~~ Peanut!!! Gnik! NONO!"

On the LCK commentary booth, the three LCK commentators were screaming in agony.

This level 2 gank in the mid lane was absolutely ruthless; Lucian was a core contributor to GEN's damage output in this game.

Pantheon already got a kill by ambushing the bottom lane at level one, and now he's been caught and killed again. It feels like the mid lane is doomed!

It's true that this version of Pantheon lacks some damage in the mid lane, but
If Pantheon were that fat, then again...
As you know, in Summoner's Rift, AD champions are basically free kills!
"Oh no, please don't let Pantheon get ahead of us!" one of the LCK commentators prayed, clasping his hands together.

Please don't!
LGD should have been completely outmatched in this draft phase. As long as they didn't get crushed in the early game, they should have a pretty good chance in the mid and late game.

Pantheon and Elise are both champions with little late-game potential, but with the ID Gnik and two kills in hand, GEN's base was practically smoking. The LCK commentators were practically sweating bullets!

"Gazi, hold the line in the bottom lane! Wait for me!"

As Di Wu finished dealing with the minion wave, he headed towards the top lane. Flandre's crocodile was playing very well in the early laning phase.

Di Wu quickly pushed the lane and reached level three. Peanut then turned around, cleared his red buff, and then went down from the dragon pit to meet up with Di Wu and enter Clid's jungle.

The minion wave in the top lane has already been pushed to the turret, making this a perfect opportunity to tower dive.

At this moment, Ashe's drone flew over, only to find that the spider had finished clearing the red buff, and the F6 and Krugs were still there!

"Huh? He's in my jungle! He went straight into my jungle with both buffs, Rascal, you might get ganked in the top lane!?"

Clid quickly reminded his top laner, BDD, who was in the mid lane, to go back to the mid lane to deal with the mid lane first, since he was in the bottom lane and there was no one to help Rascal.

"It's alright, I have a sword formation, they can't get past me! I'll make them pay the price!"

Brother Ge showed no fear, letting the crocodile push the lane to his own turret.

At this moment, in GEN's position, Diwu had already helped Peanut clear the map and stacked his passive ability.

The duo of Naka and Jungle emerged from the triangular bush: a level 3 Pantheon, a level 3 Elise, and a level 4 Renekton on the lane.

Spider took the lead and used an AQ attack on Shen, who immediately activated his sword array.

but.
The moment the turret hit the spider, Peanut transformed into a spider and used his E to hang from the sky!

???

Rascal paused, then realized something was wrong! They were deceiving him with their sword formation! Damn it! Both Spider and Pantheon had the ability to be immune to turrets.

So the spider immediately fell from the sky to lure out its own sword formation!

He was about to use his E ability to taunt and hold off Di Wu when Di Wu quickly retreated out of the turret's attack range.

Rascal ultimately didn't choose to follow with Flash. While E-Flash could indeed taunt Pantheon, he was already out of turret range, putting himself in danger.

Spider landed next to Shen. Di Wu's forehead showed a frog question mark. Seeing his brother's disheveled appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Taking Shen out, doesn't that mean you think you can just roam freely on the road?"

"So? Did you like your brother's tower dive?"

"Do you think three hundred yuan will just magically appear in my pocket?"

Di Wu's smile was so "sunny and cheerful" that even Xiao Huasheng felt a chill.

Thank goodness, Brother Di is my teammate!
Pantheon landed a W on Shen's face, Flandre's Renekton used an E to stick to Shen's clothes, and an A with a red-rage W to bite Shen firmly in place, connecting the crowd control.

Then Spider switches to human form and uses E to connect!
The turret attack did indeed hurt Pantheon a lot, but Diwu was not flustered at all. He turned around, stacked Conqueror, and then used a fully-starred Q.

"Killing Spree!"

Pantheon's health was actually too low to withstand a single auto-attack from the turret, but the moment he pulled out of the turret, Diwu activated his E skill, blocking the turret's damage.

"hiss!"

Brother Ge couldn't help but gasp. What is this?!

What is this thing?!
Even if you replaced Shen with Ornn or Jax, they still couldn't withstand such a tower dive.
The crocodile and the spider were already two strong early-game carries, and now there's Pantheon too.

How am I supposed to play this game?
"WTF?"

In the G2 lounge where they were watching the game, Caps was clearly shocked by what he saw.

This Pantheon is terrifying!
LGD's mid-jungle synergy was excellent; they grouped up from the mid lane onwards, and the tower dives by Elise and Pantheon were unstoppable!

Good news kept pouring in from Ruler's headphones!
He glanced at the top lane with a complicated expression. Indeed! It was a dirty kill, a complete dirty kill. Not to mention Shen, any other hero would have been caught out if LGD had used such a coordinated tower dive.

"My bad! I'm sorry, they're controlling too much!"

Rascal was controlled for a full 3 seconds, and that was only because his health bar could only withstand 3 seconds!

"Ah~ please don't die anymore!"

Ruler simply shook his head: "Clid, is there a chance? Bottom lane!"

Clid's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the almost fully healed Ezreal and the Leona with most of her health remaining.
If Life had played a champion like Alistar this game, it would be fine, but Karma is so overpowered?
With limited crowd control to begin with, and EZ being so agile and having his health restored by health potions, he's incredibly difficult to kill, leaving me with no choice but to invade the enemy jungle.

"Axi!"

Before Clid could finish speaking, a continuous scream came from Rascal in the top lane.

He had just teleported down when Spider and Pantheon came back again?
Pantheon only had half health left.
The next second, the crocodile used its E skill, and its red-rage W skill bit Shen.

Racal's sword formation was activated very quickly, and Di Wu immediately shouted, "Take her away first! Flandre!"

The crocodile turned around and used his E to pull himself out of the turret's range, looking at the three people surrounding him.
Rascal's smile from the original timeline has vanished, replaced by an almost distorted face.
1.75 seconds!
It refers to the duration of Shen's W. This skill is actually quite strong, but it only lasts for 1.75 seconds.

1.75 seconds is enough to do a lot of things!

For example, if you kill Shen under the turret, then 1.75 seconds later, Diwu can use his Q to take down Shen again.

Spider uses its grappling hook to evade tower attacks.
At this point, GEN's top laner disconnected!

Di Wu casually took a plate from the top lane, even though he might have lost a lot of minions and a plate to Lucian in the mid lane, but it didn't really matter anymore.

Shen is no longer a player in this game.

Moreover, the atmosphere in GEN became somewhat subtle. Rascal's face twisted, the left corner of his mouth turned down and the right corner turned up, and his eyes held a hint of murderous intent when he looked at Clid next to him.

No, buddy!?
The enemy jungler is right in my face, where are you?!
Should I play the game after this double tower dive?

Clid pursed his lips, said nothing, and just kept farming jungle camps.

BDD remained motionless in the mid lane, pushing the lane without moving towards the top lane, instead choosing to farm turret plating.

At this moment, GEN's five players consist of a top laner who keeps dying, a jungler who is focused on farming, a mid laner who is a bully and a coward, and an ADC who is wielding a baseball bat.

The locker room atmosphere was very comfortable.
On the large screen in the main live stream, replays showed two consecutive tower dives by teammates in the top lane.
The audience, especially the top laner, was already drenched in sweat.

"If you don't understand, just ask. What should you do in this situation?"

"Call on the jungler! What else can we do? If the jungler doesn't come, is he even human?"

"The jungler is entirely to blame. Who was in the jungle?"

"I was drenched in sweat, and my girlfriend asked me why I was sweating so much while watching the game!"

"Brother Chicken is too ruthless, he didn't give Rascal a single chance to survive!"

“Bullying! This is bullying! It’s brutal bullying!”

"Do you think three hundred dollars will just magically fly into my pocket?"

At that moment, the director gave a close-up shot of player Di Wu, who had just finished off two opponents and was heading home in the grass.

He had already stood up, pulled a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, looked around, and shouted at GEN, "Where are you?"

Hiss! ? Explosion! That was absolutely explosive!
The audience cheered.

"Sunglasses Chicken! Limited-time return to factory!"

"Hahaha, my Chicken Bro is having a good laugh!"

"Last time I could see it with a magnifying glass, but this time I can't see it at all!"

"In a sense, GEN is too thin!"

The official live stream on the Korean website exploded with excitement as viewers watched the footage from the Shanghai venue.

"Ashi geisha! GEN, you piece of trash!"

"I suggest restricting Gnik from entering South Korea!"

"Referee! This is discrimination, a personal attack! He's making a personal attack!!"

"He's only playing against a third seed, what's he so arrogant about?"

"That's the advantage of playing at home, you can even let him bring props! He definitely has to come to Seoul for the next World Championship! The referee just searched Gnik and wouldn't let him bring any props!"

"Brother Chicken, no!!"

In Godv's live stream
He couldn't help but shudder. Holy crap, that's insane! Seriously, Gnik's Pantheon pick was incredibly effective.

His screen was filled with questions and apologies.

"Does your brother Chicken deserve this special position?"

"Scream? Apologize to Brother Chicken!"

"Hahahaha, Dewei is sweating buckets!"

"It's only been a few minutes! And it's already 4-0!"

Godv, seeing the comments, couldn't help but instinctively retort, "No."

"He...I..."

Godv was speechless; their lineup was just terrible! GEN is usually a team that's good at defending and dragging the game into the late game, but who knew they'd be treated like bots this time?

In GEN's backstage dressing room, GEN's coach's lips twitched.
Dude, I'm just saying. Don't actually think we GEN are playing against bots!

We were wrong, Chicken Bro!

His gaze fell on Ruler in the bottom lane; GEN's last hope now rested on Ruler.

Please! Ruler, as the absolute core of this team...
Save GEN! Save this team!

Ruler on the stage did not feel the coach's prayers; all he could feel was the ADC's personal despair.

They had just managed to gain a slight advantage in the bottom lane when their own top side was already feeding like crazy.

Pantheon 4-0.
If I sit on my own face for a while, I won't even know how to play the game!
