You actually want me to...

Roland felt that Hylissang would try to do it if possible. Of course, he certainly didn't expect it. Hylissang had also predicted that he might come up, but he didn't expect that Roland would also choose to go barefoot.

"That's impressive, that prediction was absolutely brilliant."

"I left you a cup of tea under your tower, so you don't mind taking one of your cannons, do you?"

"Actually, I still mind quite a bit..."

Watching Bard finish off the cannon minion not far away with a single auto-attack, Flandre felt both pain and relief. If Roland hadn't predicted this in advance, he would have had to use Flash even if he hadn't died. Losing the cannon minion was already a minor loss.

Meanwhile, HYLISSANG, whose scheme was exposed, also farmed two minions in the top lane. However, since Rakan's gold item for last-hitting minions was shared with his teammates, BWIPO would earn a little more than Flandre.

So who actually lost out in this round?

Naturally, Luo Bai lost a Flash.

Seeing Bard disappear in the top lane at the same time as him, HYLISSANG couldn't help but frown.

Because he knew.

Next, we will begin to move on to Bard's timeline.

Sublimation: Chapter Thirty-Five: Offering Incense on the Field, Borrowing a Soul to Possess Another's Body.

In the following minutes, HYLISSANG became much more restrained in his actions.

Bard is a champion who can collect passive items all over the map. Based on the principle of his passive, when Bard roams, he doesn't lose much experience compared to other supports, which means that the enemy bot lane duo will definitely reach level six first.

This is one of them.

Secondly, relying on the lane priority in the bottom lane, Karsa's Graves had already come over to take the elemental dragon. Even if the opposing Kindred knew this, she could only swallow this loss and choose to invade the jungle to take her passive.

There's nothing we can do about the lineup.

FNC's strength lies in mid-game team fights. Before level six, they are not very competitive. If they rush in to contest at this point, they will be easily eliminated if Zoe surrounds them.

What's even more disgusting is that FNC's acquisition of the Vanguard was not very useful in this game.

The risk is high, and there's a very high chance that Bard's ultimate will dodge the damage, so what's the point? It's better to farm a couple more jungle camps and steal a passive.

As the enemy retreated, we advanced, and for a time TES's offense was very successful.

Of course, before Luo reached level six, Roland stopped roaming around. He needed to protect JKL's development for the time being, at least until he could build a major item.

"I'm a bit torn between ice fist and the triathlon. What should I say, A-Ban?"

"Huh? You're asking me? Fine. I have 36 Fusion and 72 Fission builds here. Which one would you like to learn?"

"What's the matter?"

"EZ's builds: Trinity Force EZ requires auto-attacking, while Iceborn Gauntlet EZ just spams skills and that's it. Of course, I would recommend Iceborn Gauntlet."

As the saying goes: Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, with six senses purified, depleted uranium bomb. Revolving 480 million times in a single breath, with great compassion, he delivers sentient beings from suffering.

From this Zen saying, we can deeply feel the importance of sufficient firepower. Well, actually, Roland felt that Trinity Force EZ had no output space at all in this game. With the enemy's Alchemist + Galio, he would be lucky if he could get three auto-attacks with Trinity Force.

After hearing his support's words and glancing at the team composition, Ah Shui thought it made sense. As an ADC, it was okay to occasionally get carried a couple of times. Anyway, the enemy ADC was also a carry, so it was fine to carry!

Just as this road was preparing to settle into a peaceful existence, war suddenly broke out on it.

Perhaps it was Roland's influence that was too profound, or perhaps it was the change in the timeline, but Knight's RANK spirit began to gradually unleash itself after entering the top eight. After returning home to buy an item, he was able to suppress Galio so much that he couldn't even leave the tower.

Then Kindred couldn't stand it anymore.

If the mid laner doesn't have lane priority, how can the jungler quickly steal the passive?

No, we must liberate Galio.

After observing the mid-lane's position, Selfmade quietly circled around, using any possible vision, and finally emerged from TES's jungle, delivering a two-sided cheese sandwich to Zoe.

"I'll take care of the jungler!"

"Coming right away, hold on!" Upon seeing this, Karsa, who had been roaming the jungle, immediately changed direction. Fortunately, he wasn't too far from the mid lane, and given the road conditions, he should be able to get there in time.

Sour Emperor and Selfmade naturally knew that time was running out. Seeing Zoe constantly pulling towards the top jungle, Sour Emperor directly chose to use Flash and W to try to control Zoe.

only...

"Whoosh~" x2

The moment after the Flash was used, Zoe also used Flash almost simultaneously. The only difference was that she didn't Flash towards the river, but instead Flashed towards the tower to pick up Galio's Flash, then used her W skill to Flash out, making a side V on the upper half to reach the lower half, and then threw out her E skill, Bubble.

This double flash movement allowed him to escape Galio's control range, but it also led Zoe to deliver herself into Kindred's mouth. Her E skill, Sleepy Bubble, hit Kindred, and at the same time, her R skill pulled her further away, avoiding Kindred's attack range before the bubble was generated.

A perfect escape.

"Wow, Knight!"

"whee."

Just as TES's team voice chat was filled with various "666" cheers, a familiar light appeared before everyone once again.

W [Grand Opening!]

HYLISSANG, HYLISSANG, he stepped forward again!

No one expected Luo to appear in this bush. Even Roland had always thought Luo was still in the bottom lane bush not far from him.

Why is Luo here?

"Wait, Hexflash!???" Realizing something was wrong, Roland immediately activated Rakan's talents.

In LPL's game, aside from the ancient Summoner Spell bug, Warwick's Absorption Q, and Lee Sin's second Q, it's impossible for any other teleportation cheats to exist. If there are things beyond one's comprehension, it can only mean that there's a problem in some aspect.

I was careless.

Looking at the opponent's secondary rune Inspiration, Roland initially thought it would be Biscuit Delivery + Cosmic Insight, since he had never seen Rakan with Hextech Flash before.

Rakan's arrival extinguished Zoe's last hope of escape, and the kill was secured. Meanwhile, Bard, having spotted Rakan's location, was about to move forward when Owen calmly prepared to retreat back to the tower.

Want to kill me? No way.

Do you see this thick, large, and hard columnar object in front of me?

That's my dad!

Just as Ou Cheng confidently uttered those words, not far away, a golden light flashed in Bard's hand, and he gilded "his father" right in front of Ou Cheng.

"Ding~"

Seeing his father transform into the Golden Cudgel, Ou Cheng's mind went completely blank.

"Didn't expect that, did you? Under the Golden Light Mantra, all beings are equal. What can a mere defensive tower do to me? Ah Shui, bite him!"

"Wang!"

Without the protection of the turrets, Senna alone was no match for two strong men, and was defeated by Ezreal in just two rounds.

This is also why Roland relaxed a little this time, because a level 6 Bard is really not afraid of your support roaming.

"I often say that back then, the old Celestial Master could easily defeat all sorts of demons and monsters with his Golden Light Mantra. It's no problem for me, the Jinchūriki of Bard, to sweep away everything with my Golden Light Great Move!"

"Good heavens, are they burning incense here on the field?"

JKL, who had just secured the kill, made a funny face and was about to return to base to upgrade his equipment.

In this exchange of mid and bottom laners, they are the ones who suffer the loss.

However, if the passive party is able to stop the loss in time, then that is already a very quick reaction.

However, this is clearly not enough.

One Senna kill is not enough to meet TES's current needs. Your support roamed twice, and your AD died once. Although my Bard used his ultimate, neither of your bot lane duo can reach level six.

What else is there to think about?

Rift Herald, here we come!

Sublimation: Chapter Thirty-Six: I Saw You

Thanks to the team's strong early game, TES secured the Rift Herald very smoothly. Even now, Roland was still pondering how TES in his previous life managed to let FNC take the first two games. It might sound a bit unbelievable, but in that BO5, 369, who was supposed to be the team's weak point, was actually the one who performed the best.

But looking at the other people's situations... there's no reason for their standards to be so low.

Pull the line, force the tower, apply pressure.

After securing resources on both maps in the early game, TES's operational prowess truly came into play. Over the years, LPL teams have become adept at operational strategies. The reason they can't beat LCK teams purely through strategy is mainly due to the significant gap between the players' skill levels.

If LCK teams can maintain an 8-point lead in eight out of ten games using the same system, and a 7-point and a 9-point lead in the other two games, then LPL teams are like shouting "a random number from one to ten" into Siri, and whatever they get is what they get.

Of course, even so, they could still easily bully FNC.

Knowing full well that the game was in the Dragon Soul meta, TES waited and waited until the second elemental dragon spawned before reluctantly releasing the nearly expired Rift Herald in the mid lane, and then headed straight for the dragon pit without looking back.

Although sending out the vanguard like this will most likely only result in one collision, compared to elemental dragons, these few layers of plating are indeed not that important.

only...

They ultimately underestimated FNC's potential for a breakout.

As a veteran powerhouse that has been around since Season 1, FNC carries on the glory of its own region. Despite the prevailing trend of "retirement" in the region, it does not affect their dignity, especially Hylissang.

As someone who debuted as the runner-up, he was not only dissatisfied with himself, but also extremely eager to drag down the person who debuted as the champion. And of course, that's what he did.

Same trick, same Hexflash.

Hylissang, who had circled the map extensively, once again became a textbook example of a support initiating team fights. Before TES could even set up vision around the dragon pit, he took the lead and entered the dragon pit with a Hexflash.

Then, the grand entrance!

When Roland saw the yellow flash rush out from the back of the team, he reacted quickly and pressed his ultimate. But Bard is a champion that everyone knows. If you don't analyze and calibrate your ultimate in advance, the position you throw will definitely be different from what you expect.

He successfully stunned FNC's jungler Kindred, but Galio, who was next to Kindred, just managed to avoid the range of the ultimate.

[Heroes Arrive!] (Continued)

Everything happened too suddenly. Professional matches are always like this, with situations changing in an instant. FNC seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack. With just the first wave of ultimate skill coordination, they successfully achieved a 1-for-3 exchange and even took over the second elemental dragon.

"mine."

Ah Shui, who was controlled from beginning to end, was the first to speak up and take responsibility. Of course, no one would blame him, since Luo's position was indeed quite formidable.

"It's okay, I was too hasty. If the ultimate move hadn't missed, we could have won this round."

"One-stop service, no problem, don't worry."
