Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

[This is probably not a bug; it's due to the game's mechanics!]

Before the controversy could escalate, some high-ranking European and American players who were also watching the game had already offered explanations in their live streams.

[If I remember correctly, the dragon has an aggro mechanic. Pay attention to HWG's support Zyra's positioning—she's constantly switching aggro between the dragon and the jungler.]

Really?

Wow, if this is true, this LPL team is so cool!

[Guys, I don't think you should question the top ranking of a game server.]

[Especially this top player, a Rank 3000 expert, who is willing to upload countless videos for free to guide ordinary players on how to rank up, now that he has formed a team, it's perfectly normal for him to use techniques we've never seen before in matches.]

[It's true, it's really true. If you look closely, every time the dragon's breath is about to be unleashed, Zyra moves out of the aggro range and then repeats the same action.]

[Taking down the dragon without taking any damage at level 3, that's absolutely insane.]

[I hereby declare myself HWG's most loyal fan! Emperor is just too cool! Not only is he incredibly skilled individually, but his team also showcases such entertaining techniques.]

It's no wonder that Western gamers are making such a fuss.

At the end of Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3, just like Riven's lightning-fast QA and LeBlanc's extended E, many of the hero playstyles and game mechanics in League of Legends had not yet been fully understood by players.

Not to mention the resource control methods that extend from the game mechanics.

The principle behind stealing the dragon without taking damage at level three is not complicated.

In the current version, the dragon only targets the nearest unit; it will attack whoever is closest to the dragon's mouth. It will not attack multiple units at the same time, and once the target moves away from the furthest distance, the dragon will immediately reset its aggro, cancel the current attack, and turn to lock onto the new nearest target.

Secondly, the dragon's attack has an extremely long wind-up animation, lasting about 1.5 seconds, and the damage is only calculated at the end of the animation, unlike later versions which have splash AOE effects.

Therefore, if you want to take down the dragon without taking damage, the jungler only needs to stand to its side or diagonally behind it, without getting too close, and maintain a body length distance, remaining still and only dealing damage.

Next, have the support player stand directly in front of the dragon, at the dragon's mouth, close to the dragon, and move back and forth in small steps.

It's that simple.

Before today, no one thought of it, and no one dared to play like this in a competition.

"Awoo!"

Several tens of seconds later.

A long roar from a giant dragon echoed throughout the entire canyon.

The five members of LH were completely stunned.

"???"

"Wait, Varus and Zyra went to fight the dragon?"

Ai Shejia felt that the wrinkles on her scalp were smoothed out in that instant.

"Level three? What are they going to use to fight the dragon? Aren't they afraid we'll come over?"

"Um, it seems there's a bug."

LSJ signaled, and Lulu marked Rise of the Thorns.

"The support didn't lose any health, and Hecarim is taking all the damage?"

"No, this Centaur, who's almost at full health, just kicked me!"

Just then, jungler SL also spoke up.

Hell?

I was level 3 and I was fighting the dragon, but the enemy didn't lose any health or mana.

Top laner YY suggested, "Hey guys, according to the script in the novel, shouldn't we question HWG, the team that seems to have the protagonist's script, call a timeout or something, let the tournament organizers check, and then slap them in the face at the end?"

"Damn it, I told you to read less of those brainless online novels that are all about showing off and getting slapped in the face."

Ai Shejiayi rolled her eyes.

Coming from a family with dual intellectual backgrounds, he quickly calmed down and gave an answer that he could accept.

"Since the official announcement didn't call for a pause, it means it's not a bug. Maybe it's just another trick that Emperor, that weirdo, came up with."

"That's true. Ninety out of a hundred tips and tricks in the Chinese server's ranked matches are based on this kind of method. If professional matches add more ways to achieve Baron Nashor without taking damage, it doesn't seem like an unacceptable situation."

"Hey guys, instead of discussing HWG's no-damage dragon takedown, how about we figure out how to deal with this Zed? I think I'm going to die again."

HHY cried out for help.

Middle lane?

Okay, after the first blood, Zed went back to base and bought a Long Sword, which increased his attack power again. Now, Ryze will be harassed by Zed's clones as long as he leaves the turret's range.

No, even staying under the tower isn't safe. If you try to get tower kills, you'll get whittled down, and the enemy's skills are incredibly accurate. If you take a couple more hits, your health will be in a precarious state.

"Wait a minute, I'll gank for you. Old Huang, save your W. If Zed dares to dive the tower, I'm confident I can catch him."

LH's jungler quietly moved towards the mid lane.

Even the LH players themselves didn't realize that the team's optimism before the match had vanished within just a few minutes of the game starting.

However, even with such a huge advantage, Lin Shu still had no intention of playing a one-on-one game.

Six minutes later, after Li Nan's team finished clearing the upper jungle, he immediately called them to head to the mid lane to coordinate with him in a mid-jungle synergy.

Zed used his W clone to poke first, Hecarim activated his E skill to dash in and crash into Ryze under the tower. Ryze only stumbled for a moment before Lin Shu had already used his ultimate and unleashed all his skills.

The two ignored the turret's damage and successfully tower-dived for a kill.

Ryze died again in just three minutes, falling two levels behind Zed and widening the economic gap, completely losing his chance to lane.

Afterwards, the prince, who had been waiting in vain, was probably a little dissatisfied and came to the mid lane several times, but was detected in advance by the vision set up by HWG's jungler and support.

Helpless, Lin Shu had no choice but to cooperate with Zyra, who had come to ward, and send the troublemaker back to the fountain for a bath.

Eight minutes into the game, HWG, with superior performance on all four lanes, secured the second dragon of the match, widening the gold gap to 3,900.

Eleven minutes into the game, Lin Shu pulled out Youmuu's Ghostblade and Boots of Speed, flew to the bottom lane, and without using his ultimate, he and the incredibly farmed Centaur secured a double kill on LH's bottom lane.

Yes, HWG also has a hidden boss in this game – LN's Centaur!

"Wow, Zed's damage is completely incomprehensible. He didn't even need his shadow and his main body to use his ultimate to instantly kill Lulu."

"And LN's Centaur, where does he get so many jungle monsters to farm? His level is almost matching that of a solo lane champion. Is that reasonable?"

"Um... the jungle monsters probably came from the Prince. LH's jungler only has a pitiful 50 CS right now. He hasn't seen the Prince since the first tower was destroyed, including the F4, the two Krugs, and even the red and blue buffs."

"So, going back to the question we discussed at the beginning, the blue team is indeed very strong in team fights."

"Hmm, and then?"

"The problem is you can't wait to team fight HWG. Besides, it's only thirteen minutes. A Rumble who got chased to the high ground and killed by Riven, even if he does team fight, his damage might not be enough to threaten HWG's carry."

"Speaking of the carry role, HWG's bot lane duo is really patient. Their teammates are killing like crazy, and the whole game is just about farming, pressuring, harassing, and team fighting."

When the purple team approached the blue team's high ground tower at 15 minutes and ended the game again 20 minutes earlier.

Whether it's the commentators, the viewers watching the game in the live stream, or even the players from other teams sitting in the audience.

The same thought popped into their minds simultaneously.

HWG is on a completely different level from the other teams participating in the LPL qualifiers!

To be precise, it's a double crushing defeat in terms of both operation and understanding!
