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

Chapter 183 Dolan: Should I call another pause?

"Huh? Why was it paused? It seems like something's wrong with Dolan?"

In the LPL commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan looked at the Doran close-up on the big screen with some confusion.

One second Chicken Bro was still drawing his bow and shooting arrows at DRX, and the next second Dolan suddenly raised his hand, and the game was paused.

It couldn't possibly be a complaint about Chicken Bro provoking him, could it?

Does Dolan not understand the situation?
This is LPL's home ground!
What's the point of your appeal? The organizers, the venue, and the referees are all on my side!

On the battle stage, Dolan was genuinely puzzled: "Why isn't my Sunfire Cape triggering?"

"There's a bug, isn't this little sunburn hot enough to burn the enemy?"

???

Upon hearing this, the referee behind him was also stunned.

Is the Little Sunfire bugged? This is a bit troublesome. It might require time rewinding, but time rewinding would be too unfair to LGD.

LGD gained a significant advantage in the mid lane; Time Rewind might have saved Azir from dying once.

LGD would definitely disagree, right?

This is troublesome!
The referee immediately contacted the technical staff, who frantically paced back and forth behind the DRX players, trying to investigate the bug.

But Chovy's words made Dolan's eyes widen in surprise.

"Why did you build Sunfire Cape? You were clearly fighting Kennen."

Chovy looked at Dolan with some confusion. The game had been paused, and he couldn't see Dolan's equipment.

Logically speaking, Ornn should definitely use Abyssal Mask against Kennen.

"yes?"

Doran suddenly realized that he should have used the Abyssal Mask combo against Kennen.

how…

He looked up at his equipment in the lower left corner, but there was no Small Sunfire there.
A large amount of magic resistance is applied to the body...

Um! ?

"Uh, referee! I..."

Several referees turned to look at Dolan, and several staff members had already come up.

Four or five people stared at Dolan... He felt a strange sense of fear.

???

Dolan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! This isn't a misunderstanding!

Why didn't Sunfire Aegis trigger? Because I didn't even use it!

If I say now that I was joking, the staff would probably forgive me and burst out laughing, right?
should!?
"Uh, sorry, I didn't build Sunfire Cape..."

Upon hearing Dolan's explanation, the technician who had just come on stage twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

What the hell is this guy talking about?

I'll punch you to death, you believe me?!

Reported a bug and then said you didn't use Sunfire Cape! Are you even human?
Meanwhile, the reason for Dolan's pause was also relayed to the LGD players.

Flandre was the first to raise an objection: "What do you mean the small Sunfire doesn't trigger? His hook didn't trigger the small Sunfire either, so why would it trigger?"

If I'm playing Kennen against Ornn, he'll definitely build Abyssal Mask, right? Where did this talk of Sunfire Cape come from?
LPL official commentary booth…

I remember being somewhat stunned as Guan Zeyuan and I listened to the news coming from the front-line director through our earpieces…

They gently patted their earphones to make sure they weren't damaged and that they hadn't misheard.

"Um, the reason for the pause is..."

"Dolan said his Sunfire Cape had a bug where the burn effect wasn't triggered..."

"But Dolan didn't build Sunfire Cape at all!?"

Guan Zeyuan's lips twitched slightly. Genius! He's simply a genius.

You know what, Chovy is really lucky to have these two top laners.

One Sword Emperor and one Doran!
Those are all rare talents!
Do you really think only LPL has its own formidable talents? LCK has its own formidable talents too!
???

The official live stream room is completely overwhelmed.

"Really? Is it true? Can things be this abstract?"

"I thought LGD was already quite abstract, but I didn't expect them to have Doran as well?"

"Hahahaha, I feel like my teammates are under too much pressure, so I called a timeout to give them a break."

"This is too abstract. I thought it was some kind of bug. You're telling me you didn't buy any equipment?"

"The biggest flaw is Dolan's brain!"

"Both players, please get ready, the game is about to begin!" the referee reminded the players with a hint of helplessness.

He really didn't expect Dolan to have such a trick up his sleeve.
For a moment, neither the referees nor the officials knew whether Dolan was deliberately faking a timeout to give his teammates a breather.

still is
It's really a bit silly!
Chovy breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently.

To be honest, Dolan's timeout came at a very opportune time.

It's a good time to adjust my mindset; otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain a normal mindset if I continued playing like this.

Upon hearing this reason, the three LCK commentators burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Dolan is still such an interesting player!"

"However, this pause is definitely a good thing for DRX, giving them time to adjust their mindset and recall the coach's words!"

Dolan's blunder with the pause allowed the three LCK commentators to relax considerably, and it's understandable that the DRX players were able to relax as well.

Back in the game, Chovy immediately gave the orders: "Let go of the dragon! Take it slow, we're rushing things! Pyosik, lean on me a little longer!"

The DRX lineup has already been chosen, and even though Chovy is being heavily targeted right now, we still have to maintain the characteristics of this lineup.

"Roar!"

Peanut quickly controlled the first water dragon, and the next dragon that spawned was also an earth dragon, so the final dragon soul...
It represents either the Wind Dragon Soul or the Fire Dragon Soul!

It's absolutely a matter of one thought leading to heaven or the other to hell; in fact, the Wind Dragon Soul isn't exactly good news for DRX either.

LGD's lineup has some pretty good ultimate abilities, and the Wind Dragon Soul also provides a significant boost.

DRX's next strategy is to maintain a steady pace and allocate resources to give Chovy time to develop.

LGD quickly secured the Rift Herald, but Chovy seized the opportunity to come to the bottom lane and team up with Deft to take two more plating plates.

Then he teleported to the mid lane to farm minions, and by the time he got back and forth, his CS was already on par with Diwu's Varus.

It must be said that Chovy is a player who is very good at farming and last-hitting.

But within nine minutes, Varus had already pulled out the Ghostblade.

This level of development is terrifying. No matter how good Chovy's positioning is, he can't withstand taking two arrows in the mid lane.

Di Wu already had his ultimate skill ready, even though he had Flash.

But if Varus gets ganked by Jarvan IV or Pantheon, he can follow up with his ultimate.

Even if I had two Flash abilities, I still wouldn't survive.
Chovy, standing in front of the turret once again, immediately called out, "Keria, Pyosik! Can you come and protect me?"

Varus's poke range is too long; I can't hit him.

Keria was also a bit upset, as Jhin kept pushing the lane in the bottom lane.

Mark actually had the opportunity to make the first move, mainly because he couldn't bear to leave Deft alone in the bottom lane. With Pantheon and Jhin on the enemy team, Deft wouldn't stand a chance against Deft alone in the bottom lane; he wouldn't have enough lives to survive.

While the bot lane was under immense pressure, Pyosik was also having a tough time.

He glanced at the mid lane and nodded: "I'll farm a Gromp and head over right away! Chovy, your position should be relatively safe!"

Chovy positioned himself right at the edge of his turret's attack range, aiming to gank an Azir who had both his ultimate and Flash available.

It's very easy for Chovy to manipulate it!
Upon hearing this, Chovy nodded slightly, but he still had a bad feeling.

Why do I always feel a chill down my spine?
Are they going to arrest me again? What do they take me for? An ATM?! Just because I come along doesn't mean I'm safe!
What a joke!
Just as he moved slightly forward to position his sand soldiers to manage the troop line.
"Chovy! Pantheon is missing! He has his ultimate ability!"

No sooner had Keria finished speaking than a spear flew out from under DRX's mid-lane tower.

???

Chovy immediately had a sand soldier stand on the side of his upper river grass.
The prince, carrying a flag, emerged directly from the bushes.

"Ashi."

Chovy frowned. "No."
Didn't we agree that I would be the absolute core?

Why does it always feel like the enemy jungler and support are the ones initiating the first move?
Indeed, DRX had already decided to center their team around Chovy in the break room.
However, after the Spring Split regular season ended, LGD confirmed that they were a team centered around Di Wu.

Regarding the "absolute core" part!
Chovy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly calmed down.

The moment Pantheon landed, a Sand Soldier stood behind him and poked him.

Chovy was surrounded by three opponents, and Mark's Pantheon immediately used his W to try and pin down Azir.

However, the moment Pantheon was airborne, the Tsar used the Wall of the Guards to push Pantheon back into the air.

???

Mark's pupils narrowed slightly: "No, his ultimate move..."

The next moment, the prince in front of him used an EQ combo towards the Azir, and Chovy immediately flashed towards the turret to reposition himself.
"Ding!"

Peanut flashed to follow up and knocked Azir into the air. Diwu behind him flashed forward and used his ultimate to press the ultimate on Azir.

"Aish!?"

Two flashes! Two more flashes!
The instant Diwu's R hit the Tsar, the instant he threw out an E, he raised his hand and auto-attacked to stack his passive.

Chovy looked at the prince stuck behind him and tried to drift from the side towards his F6 position with an E.

But the instant his E was released.
"The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!!"

The prince's ultimate ability covered Azir, and the prince also blocked Azir's E ability.

Di Wu's next A stacks three layers of passive, followed by a charged WQ attack!
"LGD Gnik has killed DRX Chovy!!!"

Looking at the black and white screen in front of him, Chovy felt as if all the color had been drained from his face.

What else should I do?

Even Pantheon, who was initially pushed back by himself, used his E skill to avoid the turret's fatal blow and then flashed away from the turret.

Three flashes!!!

"Chooooovy!!!"

On the official LCK commentary booth, three commentators were on the verge of tears.
Seriously, this is the most desperate scene in the world. Chovy's actions this time were absolutely flawless.

He remained calm enough that he even anticipated Pantheon's initial move of using W to knock it away mid-air, without even being stunned.

Otherwise, we would have been wiped out in the first wave!

"What exactly does he want to do next?!"

One of the commentators' voices was trembling slightly, and it was obvious from his tone that he was a huge Chovy fan.

The other commentator nearby seemed more rational: "Well, it feels like..."

"Not in the same league!"

This simple sentence encapsulates the core of Chovy's tragic situation.

The biggest problem is that LGD and DRX are not in the same league.

From start to finish, DRX was on the defensive, unable to create any initiative or momentum.

They don't even have a systematic defensive counter-attack strategy like theirs.

Once you reach the semi-finals, it's no longer a simple contest of individual skill.

In terms of team composition, LGD has consistently maintained absolute dominance.

Moreover, the Varus pick in this counter-pick phase put a lot of pressure on Chovy's mid lane, causing Azir's health to be constantly suppressed.

LGD completely seized the initiative in the attack.

The emotions that had just subsided after Dolan's erroneous goal paused the game suddenly spread back to the LCK commentary booth.

Despair! Utter despair!
The broadcast focused on Chovy, who was once again surrounded and killed by three opponents.
His face was already a little red, and the slightly downturned corners of his mouth showed his despair at this moment.

0-3!

Even Chovy himself could feel his hands starting to tremble.

Back online, Chovy gets a tower dive.
Of the seven soldiers, he only managed to eat one!
The chat in the official live stream room was completely exploding.

"This is Chovy!?"

"My goodness, is something wrong with his mindset?"

"This is really going to make me depressed. I was already being countered, and my teammates aren't even in the same league!"

"DRX has absolutely no rhythm! This jungler really seems to be daydreaming."

"Where's the blind man? Why is he still thinking about that toad?!"

The DRX voice chat was silent; no one spoke.

Even the battle-hardened Deft didn't say anything; he simply sniped the mid laner.

The difference is quite noticeable; DRX's team operations are on a completely different level from LGD's.

They truly deserve to be LPL's number one seed!

It's no longer a difference between the players in direct confrontation; rather, it's a huge difference in how they coordinate their actions!

With Gnik as the absolute core, and Peanut being a jungler who had previously played alongside Faker.

As a seasoned player and a mature man, Deft understands this!

it's over!
Although we made it to the quarterfinals this year, it's still over!
DRX is arguably the weakest team among the top four. Forget about LGD and DWG, they might even have trouble playing against TES.

Deft adjusted his glasses; there were even a few tears in his eyes.

Keria, who was standing next to him, also sensed that Deft's emotions were a bit off. Pyosik, feeling guilty about the breakdown of the two Cs' mentality, didn't dare to speak.

If I hadn't eaten that toad, if I had gotten to the middle lane earlier...
Could it be that the result is different?

Dolan, standing nearby, saw the despair in his teammates' eyes, especially the tear stains in Deft's eyes when he glanced at him unintentionally. Dolan was also anxious.

Lanzi is a little bit unskilled, but otherwise she's absolutely fine.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such good career luck, nor would he have such a good relationship with his older brothers.

Seeing his brother get beaten up, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He was also quite distressed.

He let out a long sigh of relief, looking at his slightly trembling hands.
Or should I call another timeout? Raise your hand again!
