Chapter 168 "Lao Chi, a blond guy and a frizzy-haired guy are waiting for you at the school gate!"

【Ding】

"Such a small action, yet so much damage!" A simple movement, yet it swept through a specific group like cannon fire—it's practically art!!

[Reward: 200 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

Back in the mid lane, Di Wu's CS was 6 or 7 behind, and he also lost a plate. LGD's pressure on the top lane relieved a lot of pressure on Lucian in the mid lane.

But it didn't really matter; Pantheon had already pulled out a serrated dagger and two longswords from his body.

Lucian had a slight experience lead after this item was released, but when BDD saw the items on Diwu, there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

I just got home and pulled out a 150-gold potion, while Pantheon went home and immediately bought a Serrated Dirk?
If you don't understand, just ask: Did you kill the old man at the shop to get equipment?
Isn't that coming out way too fast?

This version of Pantheon's damage isn't as high as the later ones, but if you have a lead in items like this, killing an ADC is an easy task.

"I think I'm having a hard time. Can someone help me?" BDD also realized that Pantheon's weakened state was terrifying in a 1v1 situation.

With only one Cleanse, you either get hit by Pantheon's W combo, or you cleanse to remove the stun from W, then get Exhaust, and get chased and poked by Conqueror Pantheon.

It seems like none of these images are acceptable to me!

"Can we control the dragon?" Clid glanced at the dragon that was about to spawn.

Pantheon is quite strong right now, but the key is that GEN's double marksman lineup and the bot lane duo can only provide too little crowd control.

Pantheon only needs to be able to use his E skill in team fights.
This version's enhanced E still extends the block time. If you activate Pantheon's E, you can't kill him. If you don't activate it, by the time he gets to your AD carry's face, your AD carry won't be able to deal any damage.

"No rush, wait for my Flash. I have one minute left before I can use it!"

Ruler checked his Flash, which he had used up at level 1. Without Flash, it would be very difficult to play in this dragon fight.

At least stall until your Flash is ready, and also see if Shen in the top lane is able to react.
Ruler glanced at the top lane screen; the crocodile had already reached level six and was standing behind the top lane's first turret.

Standing in front of the self-isolating bushes is a level 4 Shen.
This is no longer a question of whether or not to watch the dragons. GEN can only try to take down the dragons now, and they can't fight in the top half of the map at all!

If all else fails, securing two small dragons early on can slow down the game's pace.

Ruler looked somewhat helpless. The bottom lane is such a position; if the opponents aren't bots, it's impossible to kill quickly from there.

He's already out-farmed GALA by nearly twenty CS, but it's still too difficult for an EZ to kill him.

"Okay, let's wait for the ADC to flash!" Clid nodded in agreement.

Pantheon doesn't have Flash now, but Ashe has Flash, which ensures he won't be easily engaged on in team fights.

This dragon team fight... we have to wait for LGD to initiate it first!

"I can't play top lane?" Rascal stared at the level 6 crocodile in front of him.

Let alone him alone, even if Clid came over, this level 6 fat crocodile could take on two of them.

What to do now?
Shen at level 6 can indeed be very good for the team, as his ultimate ability can protect his bot lane from being easily tower-dived.

But the key is that I need to reach level six first, right?

Ruler fired an arrow towards his own blue buff jungle camp.

At least we have a view of the entire path; the spider isn't on the top lane.

Rascal stepped forward, intending to use his sword formation to hold off the crocodile until he reached his own tower to farm the lane.

but.
Pantheon is level 6! I'm out of lane mid, so be careful!

No? Then what should I do?

Rascal pointed to himself and asked, "Should I play or not?"
He didn't expect that his Shen pick was meant to be a sacrifice role to take on firepower for his teammates.

As a result, when LGD's firepower truly covered him, he realized that LGD was currently the team with the best mid-top-jungle synergy and the strongest offense among all teams in the world.

This firepower is simply too much for us to handle!
If he were to force his way into the lane using the sword formation, Pantheon would be flying right into his face the next second.

With this equipment, Pantheon and Renekton don't even need Elise to come over to kill themselves.

"Should we let Xiaolong go? Clid, go help relieve the pressure on the top lane!"

Ruler glanced at the top lane and saw it was absolutely brutal.

Flandre actually played very skillfully. In this wave, she took advantage of the fact that your mid-lane Lucian couldn't move, and the jungler Gragas had to watch the dragon in the bottom lane.

They'll tower dive and cut off your lane, preventing you from re-entering. A level 6 Renekton is here; if you dare to re-enter, my Pantheon can fly half the map. Either way, GEN will suffer.

Ruler understands that he and Rascal are now bound by fate, and he needs Shen to get his ultimate ability as soon as possible to ensure that his bot lane won't be tower-dived by Pantheon with his ultimate ability.

Shen hasn't had his ultimate ability yet, while Pantheon's ultimate could land on him at any moment.

Pantheon in the mid lane has finished pushing the lane and disappeared. Where will he go?
Ruler pursed his lips, having missed two minions in quick succession. Beneath his feigned composure lay a deep sense of helplessness.

If Pantheon dives and kills you in the bottom lane again, the game is over!
"Come back. I feel like you need to come and protect me, Clid. Or you can come and protect me first!"

An ominous premonition also made Ruler abandon his previous idea: stop trying to protect the top lane, it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

I still need to make sure I'm not overtaken!
Clid would love to be able to split himself into two, so that the main body of Gragas could go to the bottom lane to protect Ruler, while the other Gragas could go to the top lane to protect Rascal.

Ruler, are you trying to pull me along?
"The river vision is being suppressed, and I don't know where Pantheon is. It's so frustrating to play like this!" Clid walked directly from the mid lane to the bottom lane.

The minion wave in the bottom lane was pushed to the turret by Ezreal and Leona, preventing Karma from coordinating with Ashe to quickly clear the wave.

The next wave of minions is the one with the chariot, and this is the wave most likely to be tower-dived. However, as long as they hold the wave, it's not that easy to tower dive.

Just as the sports car line passed GEN's bottom lane second tower, a spear appeared behind GEN's bottom lane first tower!
"Buzz!"

Pantheon unleashed his ultimate ability, completely blocking the wave of cannon minions.

???

"Damn? He dares to play games like that!?"

Ruler's pupils contracted slightly as he stared incredulously at Pantheon landing behind him.

He used his ultimate ability to cut off his own lane upon landing!?
After unleashing a powerful area-of-effect attack, Di Wu gathers the minions together and lands a Q.

With this build, Pantheon's RQ combo leaves only one minion for him to stack his passive.

"I'm here, Ga Zi!" Di Wu said righteously. "Ga Zi! Bring the minion wave in directly. If Ashe doesn't have Flash, just combo him to death!"

GALA: ? ? ?
Wait, buddy!? You came all this way, and then you just ate my cable too?
Moreover, they have no grounds to complain about this strategic move of taking over the lane.
If Di Wu hadn't used his ultimate to block the lane, his minions wouldn't have been able to get in at all!
GALA opened her mouth, but in the end didn't say anything. She just nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

However, the bitterness on his face was even more pronounced!
Di Wu turned around and used his passive ability to repeatedly trigger the A-class cannon minion. He then turned back to look at Ashe and Karma, who were trying to find him, and immediately flashed a T1!

???

Ruler's eyes were practically red with rage; T1 was arguably GEN's arch-rival.

Especially in S7, even though GEN was the team that won the championship, I was the one who won the FMVP.

Why... why is the whole stadium chanting Faker's name?!

Samsung and SKT, two powerhouse teams, have been frequently compared, and SKT always comes out on top!
They were the ones who eliminated T1 in the gauntlet, and they were the ones playing against LGD.

Why are you showing off the T1 logo?!
Look at me! Whether it's the MSC or the World Championship, I was here first!

Ruler used his W to try and gank Di Wu, but Di Wu retreated quickly. Ruler was just baiting him and waiting for the minion wave to push forward.

"No, I'm coming right away! Wait for me, don't die!" Clid hurriedly said. He had already reached his own red buff, but the minion wave in front was already approaching the turret.

The spider's view of the triangular grass has been revealed. Oh no!

"Can we hold the lane first?" Clid even considered using Flash to get there quickly.

But clearly he's not the kind of player with the guts to succeed, nor is he the kind of jungler who would put himself in a "failure or disaster" situation.

Most LCK junglers are very stable.

However, the Ashe and Karma under the turret no longer support the so-called stable approach.

Di Wu stepped forward and placed a W on Han Bing's face; Ruler's Purify was as fast as ever.

But when Pantheon's next AQ-enhanced Q came with a slowing effect, Mark became more cautious and didn't use E. Instead, he walked up and used Q first.

Karma gave Pantheon a buffed shield with her RE, and then used her W to chain him. Life flashed to Ruler's side and used his body to block the Elise's E skill that followed up on Ruler.

???

Miller, in the commentary booth, clenched his fists: "Watch out! Life flashed to block the spider's cocoon!!"

"Pantheon has to retreat after tanking the tower. Can he kill Ashe? It seems like we need to create some distance first, but Gragas is coming, and Lucian is also heading towards the bottom lane. LGD is in danger!"

The live chat exploded.

"Holy crap? That's pretty cool, this is a great solution!"

"What memory made Life suddenly appear to protect Ruler?"

"Life: You might not be able to block calluses in the game, but you'll have to block baseball bats in real life!"

"My goodness, Life is insane! Is this the same person from the last game?"

What exactly happened last night?

Seeing Life's move, Di Wu quickly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Go for the second wave! Wang Hu tanked the tower, and the Gragas is coming!"

"Lucian should be on his way too, don't rush! Let's take down Ruler first! We can overwhelm him!"

After moving away from the turret's range, Di Wu turned around. Ruler's eyes were incredibly focused. He knew that LGD was definitely going to engage him.

Now the enemy's only initiation skill left is Leona's E, but do they think they can hit themselves with it? Mark's so-called signature move is actually just a half-baked Leona?

Just as Ruler was focusing on observing Leona's movements, Pantheon used a Weakness ability and clung to Ruler.

???

Weak!? No, you
At this moment, Ruler was trying his best to reposition himself.

Spider-Man form A took the first hit from the turret on Ruler, and Leona pointed her finger at Ruler.

Ruler, who was twisting back and forth, was barely able to move due to the weakened deceleration, and was then hit by Mark's crucial finger.

Gragas finally emerged from the bush behind GEN's bottom lane turret.

but.
Ruler, who was targeted, was caught off guard in an instant. Di Wu unleashed an enhanced Q, and with GALA's precise Q, Life, who had no Flash, could no longer defend against the Q for Ruler.

"LGD Gala has killed GEN Ruler!"

The moment GALA took the kill, the spider levitated to avoid the turret's damage.

The Gragas had indeed arrived, but Diwu completely ignored Karma in front of him and the Gragas behind him, walking straight out of the turret's range.

Their objective has been achieved; now, the retreat will be perfect.

Lucian, who was walking along the river, couldn't do anything about this. He had short legs, after all. He couldn't possibly ignore the minion wave and move before Pantheon, could he?

I pick Lucian specifically for laning, so I'm sure I'll be slower than the opponent, right?
"Can I stay? If not, I'm going back to eat the plating!" BDD glanced at the situation in the bottom lane.

It seems like he can't be saved. Pantheon even has his E skill ready. Don't be fooled by Pantheon's low health; without Ruler, killing him is absolutely impossible.

"Forget it! I can't keep him!" Ruler shook his head, leaning back in his seat.

The black-and-white screen in front of him left Ruler speechless.
Especially when I saw the 4-0 Pantheon, it felt like I was bullying GALA, a junior, as a school bully, when GALA's big brother Pantheon with his inverted triangle eight-pack abs and blond hair stepped out, and next to him was a spider with ramen noodle hair—my former big brother Peanut!

No, buddy?

Why didn't you say you had someone protecting you? It's all a misunderstanding!
Di Wu stood up directly in front of the platform, bent his right arm towards the camera, and showed off his somewhat muscular biceps.

He pointed his right index finger forward at the camera with his backhand and flashed a "healthy smile," which, combined with Di Wu's blond hair, created a striking contrast.
The chat in the official live stream went completely wild.

"Look at this, look how terrifying this is!"

"My goodness, Chicken Bro? Chicken Bro!"

GALA: This is my good older brother from outside of school, Chicken Bro! Wanghu Bro!
"You think you're so great at fighting? You little punk! What good is being able to fight?"

"Hey Lao Chi, there's a blond guy and a guy with frizzy hair waiting for you at the school gate!"

"That's terrifying! When I was in school, if Chicken Bro and Peanut had those two hairstyles at the school gate, I wouldn't dare go out!"

"Laoji: So you're the one bullying my little brother? Huh? Watermelon Head Four-Eyes?"

【Ding! 】

[Say "No" to 80! As the team's senior member, he used intimidation to help GALA reject Ruler's 80, letting him know that .LGD! Does have a leader!]

[Reward: 200 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

Di Wu's lips curled slightly upward: "Sorry! This is the LPL, we only respect the strong!"

"They study the rites of Zhou and study the Analects!"

"But even though Koreans don't understand this, I know a little bit about martial arts!"

Godv pursed his lips and let out a long breath: "Awesome! That's awesome!"

"Is this Pantheon from Chicken Nick really going to be banned in the mid lane?"

Originally, everyone was still figuring out the World Championship version, and Pantheon's functionality was largely still being used in the support role.

Mark is definitely not a support player who plays Pantheon well. I was wondering before how LGD should deal with Mark's Pantheon in the draft if he doesn't play well.

Now everything's fine, no need to think of a solution!
Nick the Chicken is here!
What my teammates can't play, I can play; what my teammates can play, I can play too! I can play it as soon as it's available, and I can buy a house with the ban slots! That's Chicken Nick, is that clear enough?

Godv initially questioned Diwu's counter-position strategy but has now been completely convinced by his performance.
"However, all I can say is that your mid laner is Gnik, and I'm absolutely right. If the mid laner isn't Gnik, the counter pick will definitely go to the jungler!" Godv stubbornly stuck to his own theory.

On the field, Clid didn't rest either, immediately setting his sights on the dragon, even though Ruler in the bottom lane had fallen.

But this round belongs to GEN; Pantheon's ultimate is gone, and he's out of health.

Clid seized this rare opportunity!

"Roar!"

GEN secured the first Earth Dragon, which made things a little easier for them, as having a dragon meant they had the resources to drag the game out.

LGD's lineup is ultimately only good for the early game; if they can drag the game out any longer, they'll still be able to win!

GEN
They've set up the ultimate tortoise formation! Of course, you could also call it...
LCK’s Xuanwu method!
