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

Chapter 240 Without Lao K, there would be no LGD Gnik!

"It's all over, it ...."

Tabe sat in RNG's rest room, his face already showing signs of distress.
How to play this?

LGD seems to have prepared too thoroughly before the match. They used the Ashe lane swap that they used against DWG last year, which was used to suppress Nuguri.

This year, it didn't work against FPX, but it did work against RNG and Xiaohu?
LGD today
They were definitely well-prepared. Even Xiaohu, one of RNG's players, was already a bit disoriented in the first game.

If they just keep targeting Xiaohu's Lucian, RNG will have a very difficult time.

The chat in the official live stream room was completely flooded with comments.

"Is it a bug? Why isn't Xiaohu last-hitting?"

"Stop making fun of him, Xiaohu is offline!"

"This is terrifying, how can we play like this?"

"Is this RNG's 'four-protect-one' strategy? Five enemies on the top lane in just four minutes!"

Uzi exclaimed that he was an expert, saying that he experienced the same thing back when he was with RNG!

In RNG's voice chat, Xiaoming reassured her, "Hey, it's okay! Take it slow, I'll come up and protect Xiaohu!"

After these two waves, RNG is already in a bit of a mess, not to mention the lane swap issue.

Even if Lucian were to directly challenge Renekton now, he might not be able to win. Renekton has secured a crucial kill and now Lucian needs to focus on protecting the top lane.

Their lineup features a double lock-on strategy, so even if they are at a slight disadvantage in the early game, they can still play well.

After pushing the top lane, GALA and Keria were flexed and sent back to the bottom lane.

Peanut timely brought the little dragon under control.

Moreover, Ashe and Neeko, with their advantages, can now put a lot of pressure on Kai'Sa in lane.

Xiaoming wasn't in the bottom lane at this point, so the dragon had to be given away, and Lucian had already lost too much in the early game.

Neither of the two could put any pressure on the crocodile. The most important thing in the top lane is not just economy, but also level.

While Xiaoming was protecting Xiaohu, he was also consuming Xiaohu's experience.

The crocodile in front of them had already reached level six and had even pulled out its Iron Plate Shoes.
At this point, Lucian's auto-attack on the crocodile isn't hurting as much.

Judging from the pace of this dragon fight, the dragon soul will probably arrive in just over twenty minutes.

However, during this period, Xiaohu is still having a difficult time playing.

RNG gave up the Rift Herald in the top lane, and even swapped Grace's Kai'Sa up there, then moved Xiaohu's Lucian to the bottom lane to farm turret plating and catch up on development.

"Li Yuanhao, I'm leaving. Be careful. I'm out of sight, but Triangle Grass has placed a true sight for you. Don't be too reckless!"

Xiao Ming pinged the ward in the river that was about to disappear, and had already helped Xiao Hu collect quite a bit of money.

This gave Xiaohu, who was at a disadvantage in the early game, a huge boost. With Lucian's current equipment, there's no point in talking about helping him gank.

Lucian, despite being at such a huge disadvantage, did absolutely no damage!
LGD had already taken the Rift Herald in the top half of the map, and then summoned it in the mid lane, charging into it.

Xiaoming's timely replay also prevented their own mid-lane tower from being destroyed. LGD is very good at using their vision advantage to seize opportunities.

Di Wu then chose to teleport back to the bottom lane to arrest Xiao Hu.

Xiaohu was supposed to be the absolute core of RNG, but now he seems to be RNG's weakness.

LGD's players are chasing and attacking me!

When Akali lands, Lucian can't do anything about it.

Although Diwu built magic resistance boots against Lissandra in the mid lane, Akali with her ultimate and Twilight Shroud made it too difficult for him to fight her.

Beneath Xiaohu's seemingly "profound" eyes lay an incredibly anxious heart.

He also used WAA on Akali and then immediately used E to retreat and create distance, not giving Diwu a chance to initiate with R.

He unleashed a barrage of Holy Light at Akali with a backhanded volley.

Di Wu turned around, made an E gesture to create distance, and gave a thumbs-up on his forehead.

Urgent!

Xiaohu himself must have been very anxious, as the next dragon was about to spawn, and he had to teleport down.

If RNG can reduce Akali's health in this wave, they will have a chance to take the dragon.

After all, their lineup has two lock-on abilities, and the combined use of two lock-on abilities gives them a chance to kill one of their opponents first.

Di Wu naturally wouldn't give Xiao Hu such a chance to reduce his health; he only stepped forward to put a little bit of pressure on Xiao Hu.

Little Tiger gritted his teeth, just about to turn around, but...
A crocodile appeared in Xiaohu's field of vision in the river.

Is Nicole really Nicole?

The next second, a fake figure turned around, and Xiaohu immediately sensed something was wrong, so he flashed towards the bottom lane river bush.
However, as Neeko activated her ultimate, she flashed forward to the very edge of the ultimate's edge, managing to lift Xiaohu's Lucian up.

And immediately followed up with her E skill, the next second, Akali flashed and used her ultimate to initiate the attack from the front.

The moment Akali got close, Xiaohu gave up struggling. Diwu used a combo followed by a QR turn to finish her off perfectly.

"LGD Gnik has killed RNG Xiaohu!"

"Huh? Li Yuanhao, aren't you leaving after seeing Akali?" Xiaoming frowned.

It was obvious that Xiaohu was in very poor form in this game. After being dealt such a blow in the early stages, Xiaohu's mentality was also greatly affected.

"Hey, I want to try to reduce Akali's health a bit, so we can steal the dragon later." Xiaohu was already feeling a bit dizzy.

It’s broken!

The second dragon must have been secured by LGD after I died in this battle.

Peanut then secured his second dragon.
The dragon soul for this match was the fire dragon soul, putting RNG under immense pressure.

At this moment, Di Wu took out his mythical outfit and pulled out a push-up stick.

The Force Staff is a Mythic item with a certain level of tankiness, which, combined with the Mercury's Treads he's wearing, makes it a great choice.

Given the current state of RNG's two carries, Kai'Sa sacrificed herself in the early game to help Lucian catch up on his development, but Lucian lost too much in the early game and is also developing poorly at this stage.

Even if you take two headshots from the enemy's ultimate, it will be difficult for them to kill you.

RNG will definitely try to engage with the next vanguard. If the second vanguard is also taken down, the mid-lane tower will fall.

RNG's jungle is about to be completely lost!

Xiao Ming also commented on Di Wu's Flash: "This Akali won't have Flash in the next wave!"

"Let's coordinate our moves first!"

Double lock-on team fights are actually very powerful, and Xiaohu has now caught up in some development.

Kai'Sa already has Mythic items, so this wave of Vanguard is definitely worth watching.

As time goes by, the second Vanguard is about to spawn, as seen in the second live stream.
Taizi and Letme were also holding their breath.
"Does Akali have enough money to buy a Stopwatch right now? She can't be that fed, can she?"

Di Wu adjusted his glasses and indeed chose to go home.

But instead of re-watching the stopwatch, he pulled out the Gleaming Glow. "Oh?"

"I have the money, but instead of buying a Stopwatch, I went straight for Sheen!"

Zita and Letme couldn't help but purse their lips, wondering if this was foreshadowing something that would happen later.

Lau K asked with some concern, "Holy crap! What are you doing? Gnik, fixing the stopwatch?"

"Didn't K God teach you before? You need more leeway before crucial team fights, don't be greedy! You don't have Flash on you!"

???

Both Zita and Letme turned to look at Lao K.

"Ahem!" Letme coughed twice: "Um, I'm just asking because I don't understand. Are you really going to give Gnik some pointers?"

"Huh? We were teammates in 19!" Lao K proudly raised his head.

“Indeed, without you there would be no LGD Gnik! No problem!” Zz1tai nodded vigorously.

Ok?
For some reason, Lao K felt that there was more to Zi Tai's words than met the eye.

The chat in the second live stream room was completely flooded with comments.

"Hahahaha, absolutely! Without Lau K, there would be no LGD Gnik!"

"OMG: Speak up for me!!!"

"No need for further explanation, it's OMG Gnik now!"

"The biggest victim of the K-dog has appeared—OMG!"

At this moment, LGD still prioritized the mid lane and then moved to the river. RNG was not at a disadvantage either, with Xiaoming and Lissandra taking the lead and coming over from the mid lane.

LGD has already activated the Rift Herald, and here a Renekton and Akali are blocking the river.

"We need to watch Akali! She doesn't have Flash!"

Cryin nodded in agreement.

Di Wu's movement seemed to be in coordination with RNG, as he moved forward slightly for a moment.
Seeing this, Cryin didn't have time to inform Xiaoming. The moment to initiate a team fight was fleeting. Without any hesitation, he flashed forward and used his ultimate to target Diwu's Akali.

Can I join?

Xiao Ming raised his hand and used Q to hit Akali again, then used his ultimate to knock Akali up.

The next second, Xiaowei used his ultimate to fear Akali, and RNG's backline Kai'Sa and Lucian simultaneously moved forward to try and deal damage.

But
A large circle appeared around the "crocodile" on Akali's side.

"Watch out for Nico."

Xiao Ming was also stunned for a moment. Keria's goal was very clear. He had used Flash in the previous wave, and this ultimate move was to protect Di Wu who was being engaged from the front.

RNG's two carries were forced to retreat.
Neeko's protective ultimate ability lifted up all three enemies in front of her, allowing LGD to instantly counterattack.
Flandre's crocodile ultimate was activated, and she immediately used her E and W combo to bite Hecarim.

The subsequent GALA started outputting almost effortlessly.
"Damn it, we were tricked by Neeko! The crocodile in front is Neeko, this protection covers three people and isolates RNG's backline dual carries!"

"It's over!"

He was already holding his head in his hands, and Letme next to him even lowered his head, unable to look at the scene in front of him.

Lao K seemed to understand why Di Wu didn't choose to build a Stopwatch; the enemy's damage output wasn't enough, and Neeko was protecting him.

He doesn't need a stopwatch at all; in fact, the presence of a stopwatch would make Xiaoming wary.

We must give RNG even the slightest chance before completely extinguishing their hopes.

Taizi and Letme couldn't help but gasp.
Gnik had even calculated this; he knew he wouldn't die from the first wave of damage.

So he deliberately didn't re-watch the stopwatch, and his position in the river was indeed too aggressive.

But Xiaoming, who was on the field, couldn't think that far ahead.

Zita and Letme once again turned their attention to Lau K, who was sitting in the middle, smiling and sticking out his tongue.
Gnik, who was like this, almost got forced to retire by Lau K!
What else can I say?

OMG, I've been totally scammed!

"That's so true, without Lao K, there would be no LGD Gnik!"

"Yes, that's true!"

Taizi and Letme nodded again.
Lao K's smile was hard to suppress: "Hey, don't say that. I was old back then too, and I couldn't mentor young people anymore, but I was still capable enough to give them pointers!"

On the field.
"Triple Kill!"

As GALA's triple kill announcement rang out, RNG's team fight was almost completely crushed.

RNG's backline carries had no choice but to retreat.

But the first vanguard has already fallen, and with the second vanguard falling, RNG's mid-lane tower can no longer be defended.

The second Herald was released before the dragon spawned, and the perfect operational rhythm secured the third dragon.

LGD secured three or four dragons in a row, obtaining the Fire Dragon Soul. At this point in the game, RNG was in a very difficult position.

With their vision constantly compressed, LGD secured the Baron Nashor early on.

In less than thirty minutes, LGD finally won the game.

"Let's congratulate LGD!!"

"We've successfully won the first game of the finals!!"

The broadcast simultaneously focused on the LGD players on the main stage.

"Well played!"

Di Wu patted Keria on the back; Keria's performance in this match was definitely MVP-level.

The MVP of this match would be rightly awarded to Keria's Neeko.

Their presence was too strong, and most importantly, they turned around to protect themselves and initiated the team fight perfectly in that crucial wave of vanguard team fights when they didn't have Flash.

"hey-hey!"

Keria smiled and nodded at Di Wu: "Getting better and better!"

"Oh? Do you know what it means?" Di Wu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this; Keria's Chinese was improving quite quickly.

After all, she had the best older brother and teacher, Peanut, to guide her, and Flandre was a troublemaker who always taught her all sorts of random things.

"Of course! Don't worry, Brother Chicken, I'll be your most reliable helper!"

Keria's eyes also became serious.

Di Wu slightly raised his head and looked at the electronic screen behind him, which clearly displayed...
"LGD Victory!"

"Let's go win the final!"
