LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

The lineup was quickly finalized.

Behind the group, chef Ma Yingdong, posing as a coach, glanced at the lineups on both sides.

Blue side RISE: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Vi, Mid lane Gragas, Bot lane Ashe and Zyra.

Red team MVPO: Top lane Shen, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Vayne and Sona.

Ma Yingdong didn't have a deep understanding of the game; he only knew that RISE's lineup was much more aggressive.

Is this a strategy of quick victory in the early to mid-game?

At this moment, Li Zhixing flexed his fingers and said:

"Let's play faster this game. Hyungseok, defend the top half of the map first, then the other three, follow me to invade. Don't give the opponent a chance to breathe this game."

It can only be said that Ma Yingdong underestimated Li Zhixing.

Since we've already secured lane advantages on multiple lanes, why wait until the early to mid-game?

Li Zhixing wanted the match to end in three minutes!

......

Meanwhile, inside MVP's base.

The training room for the second team was packed with people.

Unlike SKT, MVP's first and second teams are separate, each with its own coaching team. In fact, before the second team was fully established, Mata served as the second team's coach on a part-time basis.

Therefore, when Li Zhixing came to MVP for a training match, he didn't even see any members of the first team.

However, NLB matches are crucial and special, so the first team coach Edgar stayed with the second team during this period, aiming to get the second team into OGN first.

Edgar glanced at the lineups on both sides and chuckled, "Kids, it seems like the other side wants to end the game early."

MVP's team is considered a mid-to-upper-tier team in the OGN arena.

Their playstyle is unique in OGN, characterized by extreme stability, focusing on steady development and vision control, and employing an extreme defensive counter-attacking approach.

In short, he's a complete turtle.

This strategy was inherited by the second team after the jungler and support were demoted from the first team.

Their favorite team is the fast-paced team.

Because their team in OGN earns points by defeating fast-paced teams!

Edgar didn't believe that RISE, this newly formed amateur team, could break through their defenses.

MVP jungler Spirit chuckled and said, "Looks like the other team knows absolutely nothing about us. We should win this game, right?"

"We'll win," Ravan, the bot laner, declared with a smile, confident of victory.

For the two former top-ranked field goalkeepers, being temporarily relegated to the second team is clearly not a happy thing.

However, since the team members had signed contracts long ago, the two of them couldn't leave whenever they wanted like Mata, and there was nothing they could do but follow the arrangements.

If you've been demoted, then just send them back.

Making such a contribution to the club will naturally increase one's own value.

So what if they're in the top ten nationwide? They're still just ordinary people.

Today I'll show you that high scores aren't everything in a competition!

"Don't worry," Edgar reassured the players from behind, "I've already checked, and the opponent's skill level is only average, not particularly high. As long as we play well, victory is ours!"

"Get pregnant!"

At this moment, the match begins, and the MVP players all shout in unison as they rush out of the fountain.

The jungler didn't think too much and decisively chose to farm from bottom to top.

Their jungle route is really unpredictable, since both their top and bottom lanes started at a disadvantage. In comparison, going to the top lane to cooperate with Shen is definitely better than going to the bottom lane to cooperate with Ezreal and Sona.

These two in the bottom lane are top-tier in laning and late-game team fights, but they're practically useless in early-game skirmishes.

But this simple and obvious idea was not only something he could think of, but Li Zhixing was also very familiar with it.

That's why Li Zhixing and his teammates waited in the lower half of the bracket early on, patiently waiting for time to pass.

The current version of the buff will refresh at 1 minute and 55 seconds.

Li Zhixing timed it perfectly, and only when the time reached 1 minute and 40 seconds did he lead his teammates into the river and slowly circle around into the enemy's bottom blue buff area.

This version makes it very difficult to defend the jungle at the start of the game.

After all, warding costs gold in the current version, and they can't possibly spend money to buy wards as soon as they leave the house. They can only defend manually and go back to their respective lanes when the time is almost up.

This is actually an area where the game design is unbalanced; the designers clearly didn't think of it in such a comprehensive way.

It wasn't until Season 4 that the designers finally created a way to use cosmetic wards from the start, thus making up for this shortcoming.

As expected, MVP's jungle trio had already retreated back into the jungle, waiting for the jungle monsters to respawn, allowing RISE's group to proceed smoothly.

Of course, Li Zhixing remained quite vigilant and kept a watchful eye on things.

The opposing team is, after all, a professional team, and according to Mata, they mainly play a defensive counter-attacking style, so it wouldn't be surprising if they had some special strategies.

Anyway, there are four of them, so even if the other side has set up an ambush, they can still win.

But as he turned the corner and saw the enemy focusing their fire on the three junglers near the blue buff, Li Zhixing smiled with relief.

They mistook the opponent for a pro.

The professional esports teams of this era exude a clear-cut stupidity.

"Drink!"

Li Zhixing released Q, and Wei charged forward with an iron fist, knocking the Lee Sin flat on his back!

Vi is a new champion that was just released in this version, and not many people know much about her.

Moreover, this hero hasn't undergone any major changes from Season 3 to the present, so Li Zhixing's proficiency level can be directly maintained.

Mata, seeing his enemy, was filled with hatred, and Zyra seized the opportunity to flash forward and use her E!

Using the perfect angle adjusted by Flash, E "Entangling Roots" spread forward and trapped all three MVP junglers!

This unexpected incident instantly made the entire MVP team extremely serious.

They hadn't expected that this random team would dare to play so recklessly, invading right from level one!

But by then, RISE's four members—Midori, Morita, and Naruto—were right in front of them, and it was too late for them to escape.

Han Bing raised his hand and unleashed a "volley of arrows," hitting all three simultaneously.

This version of Ashe's skills are slightly different from the previous version. Frostbolt is no longer a passive skill but a Q skill. Without learning Q, W also does not have a slowing effect.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the damage is sufficient.

Lee Sang-hyeok threw out his Q, "Rolling Barrel," which exploded between the three enemies, making up for the missing slow effect.

Meanwhile, the MVP jungler was still focused on the jungle monsters in front of him, thinking about leveling up twice, learning W, and then using ward to create distance.

But how could Li Zhixing give him such an opportunity? He focused on the health bar and used A-Smite the moment it dropped below 450, taking the blue buff!

The upgraded light rose from Vi's body, and Li Zhixing instantly learned E. Vi threw a punch, which hit three people and dealt a large amount of AOE damage!

At this moment, golden light flashed across the field, and the three MVPs simultaneously dodged each other in perfect unison, each fleeing in their own time as disaster struck!

After this period of training, RISE has developed a basic understanding and quickly divided the tasks.

Vi and Gragas, the two melee champions, were responsible for finishing off Lee Sin. Taking advantage of the slow effect, each of them used a basic attack, and in the end, Li Zhixing's Vi secured the kill!

Meanwhile, Ashe and Zyra were responsible for killing EZ. The two quickly chased after him while he was still slowed down, and after several rounds of auto-attacks, they finished him off!

"RISE Deft has killed MVP Ozone Ravan!"
