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

Chapter 216 "Tiger Bro got so scared he turned into Yuan Hao Meow~"

The two sides entered the second round of the ban/pick phase, with RNG banning Thresh and Alistar as the second pick.

LGD banned Xayah and Samira.

Both sides entered the second round of player selection, and LGD directly picked the support role, Ryle, as their fourth pick.

RNG locked in Titan and added Lucian.

"The little cannon has landed! Top lane Lucian?"

Di Wu narrowed his eyes slightly; Lucian was considered a top pick this year.

Especially when facing Gnar, Lucian is an absolute counter.

And besides, this is Xiaohu's Lucian!

Lucian, who couldn't be released even once in the World Championship
This match can be considered as Xiaohu getting to use his special skill.

LGD's last pick was Jhin for GALA.

Both teams' lineups are now locked.

Blue side: RNG
Top Lane: Lucian
Jungler: Lillia
Mid Lane: Twisted Fate

Bottom lane: Tristana and Nautilus

Purple side: LGD
Top lane: Gnar

Jungle: Hecarim

Mid lane: Sylas
Bottom lane: Jhin and Riel
Both sides entered Summoner's Rift.

There was no doubt that Xiaowei's jungle route in this match was to farm towards his own top side of the map.

Xiaohu has already picked Lucian, so the bottom half of the map must be the one that's more resilient.

Xiaoming also brought his teammates directly to the top lane to place wards for Xiaohu, allowing Xiaohu to more comfortably suppress Gnar.

Actually, RNG didn't initially plan to play Lucian in the top lane this year. Xiaohu only tried it a few times in scrims and felt that the effect was quite good.

Whether you're fighting Gnar or Gangplank, they can be quite effective!
This match happened to be a counter-attack, and unfortunately, Flandre became the first unlucky one.

With the ward placed by Xiaoming at level one, Wei's jungle movement was spotted.

However, Wei was clearly targeting the top lane, and with Lucian having a ward in lane, he directly hid in the bushes to prevent Flandre from going directly to lane.

"Xiaohu's Lucian is putting a lot of pressure on the top lane, and RNG's strategy revolves around Xiaohu. Xiaowei is openly heading to the top lane, so Flandre needs to protect her health!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed the current situation.

Cryin, with his ample experience, positioned himself far away from Sylas in the mid lane, waiting for Diwu to push the minion wave first.

They gave Di Wu no chance to have his blood transfused.

"So safe? Are you worried about getting killed by me at level three after I trade blows at level one?"

To be honest, in this laning phase, Twisted Fate should be able to suppress Sylas in the early game.

Sylas becomes quite passive against Twisted Fate if his chain misses.

You might get kited by Twisted Fate, but once you land the chain, after a couple of trades, Twisted Fate won't be able to lane anymore.

Guozi simply chooses not to trade blows with you, and Xiaowei will not choose to directly gank the mid lane, so trading blows is meaningless for him.

He needs to keep the enemy neutralized in the early game. Cards have passive gold compensation, so missing a few attacks won't have a big impact on them.

Meanwhile, on the top lane, Flandre is already in dire straits.

Even when they tried to force their way in to gain experience, Xiaohu's Lucian launched a strong attack.

Fortunately, he had a bone plating on his body, otherwise he would have been unable to withstand the damage from the first wave of strong attacks.

Both junglers quickly finished clearing the first round. At this moment, Lillia stood guard in the river bush in the top lane, counter-ganking while waiting for her trinket ward to be ready. She placed a ward in the river before choosing to recall.

Xiaowei's protection of the top lane is absolutely terrifying, and he didn't choose to force a tower dive in the first wave.

Xiaohu has already gained a significant advantage in the top lane, and has even managed to solo-kill the turret plating in a 1v1 situation.

Flandre maintained her health well, while Lilia, as a support, lacked significant control and tower-diving capabilities.

Perhaps we should let Xiaohu take the lead in suppressing the opponent first.

Flandre had already inflicted a lot of damage, but Tiger was not afraid at all. Taking advantage of his long reach, he raised his hand and fired two shots at Flandre.

E short slide, then two more shots, then Q two shots in total!

Flandre was suppressed to below half health, while Little Tiger still had two bottles of Corruption Potion left.

That's enough to suppress him.

"Xiao Wei, we can overtake him in the next wave!"

"Cryin, you keep an eye on Sylas in the mid lane, just don't let him move!"

Xiaohu's suppression of Flandre's health in the top lane was quite subtle, keeping Gnar at about half health.

With this much health, Flandre has a Doran's Shield, making it seem like she can farm a couple more waves of minions.

Flandre was originally meant to play the defensive lane, so if she easily used her Teleport and got overtaken, that would be the most frustrating and disadvantageous situation for her.

So Flandre managed to hold onto this TP (Teleport) quite tightly in the early game.

He knew that Lucian couldn't get past him alone and could only finish him off.

This way, when Xiaowei comes up in the second wave, he will have the opportunity to target Flandre.

Furthermore, Twisted Fate will also have his ultimate ability coming up in the mid lane soon. The only thing to do is to prevent Di Wu from moving up first to protect Flandre.

"Listen to me, their jungler can't come. Peanut needs to farm towards the bottom half of the map; they might be able to control the dragon!"

Xiaowei also commented on Peanut's jungle route: "You guys need to be careful in the bottom lane, you're getting ganked by four!"

Keria played Reyel in this game, and she was great at tower diving with Sylas and Hecarim.

It's essentially a swap of rhythm between LGD and RNG in the top and bottom lanes!

After Xiaowei finished farming, Xiaohu in the top lane had already reached level six.

Without any hesitation, Xiaohu stepped forward with his E skill and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the enraged Gnar in front of him.

Although Flandre immediately used her E to retreat and create distance, Lucian still managed to reduce her health and hit her with his ultimate.

Ok?
Flandre also realized that something was wrong. Xiaohu's purpose in using his ultimate move was not to reduce his own health. His health would recover some after he grew bigger.

he.
He wanted to vent his anger and then surpass himself!

"I'm going to be raped!"

Flandre immediately retreated to place a ward in the bush in front of the Golem, but Lilia had already stepped out and blocked Flandre's retreat position.

and
Cryin in the mid lane actually handled the situation very well. After reaching level six, he disappeared from the mid lane, not giving Diwu a chance to steal his ultimate.

RNG's bot laner, Tristana, used her E to hook onto the minion wave, clearing it with a combo before retreating. Giving them no chance, Di Wu glanced at the top lane.
"Go back to the tower, I can teleport!"

After dealing with the minion wave in the mid lane, Di Wu realized that Cryin's move of abandoning the minion wave and not showing himself to steal his ultimate was indeed brilliant.

While the individual skills of some RNG players may not have reached their peak this year, their teamwork and RNG's overall strategy are quite impressive.

"The top lane minions have entered, and Flandre has shrunk to a very dangerous state."

"Twisted Fate unleashed his ultimate!"

The instant the card landed behind the turret after using its ultimate, Di Wu immediately used his Teleport on the top lane turret.

“We can kill him!” Little Tiger immediately said.

The yellow card in Twisted Fate's hand flew out, and Twisted Fate was the first to withstand the turret's attack.

The instant Lillia spun with her Q, her EW struck Gnar.

Little Tiger AEAAWAAQ finished the job directly.

"First Blood!"

The card tanked two hits from the tower before pulling away, and the little deer also tanked a third hit before pulling away.

RNG executed a perfect mid-jungle synergy trade!

By the time Diwu landed, Flandre had already been killed.

"Flandre has fallen. Isn't Gnik, who has TP'd down, in great danger?" Guan Zeyuan's words were still unfinished.

Di Wu used his E to charge towards the turret, taking two hits from the turret card before heading towards it. Little Deer blocked Di Wu's path, using her Q to spin around.

Xiaohu under the turret had Q's passive active, but he didn't dare to attack Diwu. If he attacked from this position, the turret could focus fire on him.

"Don't worry, he's alone! It's no use!"

"How long until the next yellow card!?"

Cryin quickly replied, "3 seconds."

Before Cryin could finish speaking, Diwu decisively flashed to Twisted Fate's face and lashed out with a W-A whip.
Twisted Fate also used his Flash, but Di Wu immediately followed up with Q and then R to steal Twisted Fate's ultimate.

Electrocute combined with Q's slow effect unleashes the second burst!

"LGD Gnik has killed RNG Cryin!"

While instantly eliminating the card, Di Wu turned around and used his E chain directly on Lillia.

Xiao Wei was initially twisting and turning, but just as the chain was about to reach him, he used his Flash ability to avoid it.
"Wow! Gnik's domineering presence! Did he single-handedly kill Twisted Fate in front of three people?"

Miller, in the commentary booth, clenched his fists involuntarily.
Surrounded by three people, Gnik wasn't afraid of being tower-dived again. He immediately used his combo to kill Twisted Fate and then forced Lillia to use her Flash.

What kind of oppressive feeling is this?

The two commentators were initially discussing whether Gnik's teleport would lead to him being overtaken again, but now that Twisted Fate is dead, Gnik can even chase him down!
Di Wu wasn't in a hurry. He chose to first look ahead at Lucian under the turret and wait for his next skill cooldown.

Xiao Hu also retreated repeatedly, as he found the position somewhat uncomfortable.

If Di Wukai's card ultimate skill gets right in his face, he might not be able to beat him even if he gets chained.

He didn't go home to replenish his energy, and he also used up all the level one corruption potion.

I am currently in a very dangerous situation.
Sylas's next skill combo is almost ready!

Di Wu immediately activated the card's ultimate skill, and Xiao Hu immediately pulled out of the turret's range.

Di Wu used the second part of his ultimate skill, and Xiao Hu cautiously moved away from the bushes on the lane.

The bushes were all dark, and he had no idea where Di Wu would come from to find him. The next second!
"Huh!? He's looking for me?"

During RNG's voice chat, Xiaowei was stunned as he watched Diwu's second ultimate skill land in front of him. He immediately retreated, trying to escape.

However, Sylas landed with an EAA combo, using his ultimate's passive, followed by a W and an auto-attack to swing the chain.

While applying a slow effect to Lillia with a Q, the second part of E pulls Lillia from the side.
"Double Kill!"

A cold female voice echoed throughout Summoner's Rift as Diwu secured Lillia's kill.
"Wow? Him?"

Little Tiger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Oh no!

He should be with Xiaowei. He still has Flash. If the two of them are together, even if Di Wu lands and kills one of them, he can still trade kills.

Xiao Hu also felt a sense of pressure at this moment. If only the Sylas in front of him had a different ID.

This time, he definitely won't panic and run blindly; instead, he'll head straight for Xiaowei in the triangular bush.

But the ID Gnik is incredibly intimidating!

He was completely taken aback at first, after all, Di Wu had teleported down and then used Flash to instantly kill someone with a chain and then chain them again.

It looks terrifying!

The live chat was completely exploding at this point.

"Holy crap? That's terrifying!"

"Gnik is kind of scary, isn't it?"

"Is Chicken God really in serious mode today?"

"Little Tiger: Who upset him again?"

"Hahahaha, what is Tiger doing? He just ran away!"

"Tiger Bro got so scared he turned into Yuan Hao Meow~"

"And he can also come back to farm the top lane minions, so Sylas gets a good meal in the process!"

"what?"

When Tabe, who was in the RNG rest room, saw this scene, he gritted his teeth: "What are they doing now?"

"Stand together? Stand together! Let Sylas wipe them all out!"

This tower dive was actually quite well done, but why do I feel so scared when I see the ID Gnik?

Tabe was somewhat helpless; this wave gave Di Wu two kills, plus so many minions in the top lane.
Di Wu originally came to push the lane, and then came to the top lane to get another kill.
The CS difference between the two sides in the mid lane has reached twenty CS!

Although Xiaohu did have a very comfortable time following the plan, however...
It seems Gnik is about to become unstoppable!
Uzi, who was watching the game, couldn't help but snort when he saw this scene. It seems that Chicken Bro is the most reliable one.

Although Xiaohu has changed a lot and improved a lot since switching to the top lane, ...
This time, you chickened out? Just like your performance in S9!
Gnik's Silas got swimming.

After clearing the top lane, Sylas went back to base and immediately pulled out the Lost Chapter, the Killing Ring, and Boots of Speed.

After returning to the mid lane, Cryin felt something was amiss just from taking a single glance.
That's a bit explosive!
