You actually want me to...

[It's one thing for the King of the Board to slack off, but at least he's been ringing the bell quite diligently. But you, JKL...]

Is TES perhaps planning to face RNG in an all-Chinese affair?

Seeing TES's bot lane duo flopping like this, everyone in the LPL immediately sensed something was wrong. Fortunately, TES's top jungle was constantly creating momentum, and Knight's Jayce was almost going crazy. It was a rare opportunity to openly bully Faker, who was at the World Championship. If he didn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance, when would he?

Thanks to the combined efforts of both teams' top, mid, and jungle players, several small-scale team fights broke out before the eight-minute mark was even up. Both junglers died, while the others continued to fight, respawn, and return to the fray, repeating the cycle of one or two random deaths, making the game extremely bloody.

This time, the T1 bot lane duo couldn't hold back any longer.

The Leona had wanted to go and support for a long time. Whenever a fight broke out in Knight's upper jungle, the seemingly harmless Alistar would quietly move closer to their AD carry, making him want to leave but afraid to. Varus is not like Ezreal; if he gets engaged on, he's really doomed.

This time, T1's bot lane duo wanted to go together.

However, JKL and Roland were not happy about it.

What do you mean, little brother?

We've been playing this last-hitting game with you in the bot lane for so long, and you suddenly say you're quitting and want to leave? That's not how you do business, bro. Even though the minion wave is close to TES's side, the two of them still resolutely followed it to the jungle. EZ even threw out WQ to start a fight, looking like they wouldn't let the other side leave and were going to fight.

"The damage isn't enough, you need to think of something."

"No way, you're throwing this problem at me?" Roland was shocked. In this situation, unless they were given a Wind Spirit Moon Shadow or something to "ding" them, how were they supposed to fight the enemy's bottom lane?

"I remember the summer event for that game you played called Arknights came out, right? The one you kept raving about with that faceless Chen, aren't you going to pull for it anymore?"

......

"No way! There's only one way. You just keep charging forward, and I'll figure out the solution!"

With this motivation, Roland immediately became more efficient. Although the illustration of Water Chen made him feel like he had eaten shit, in terms of strength, without this thing, it might affect his ability to copy strategies in the subsequent Crisis Contract.

Then I have to smoke it.

With sponsors involved, Roland wholeheartedly agreed.

While verbally responding to JKL, he was actually maneuvering Alistar forward. However, Roland was cautious; they couldn't win this fight no matter what. So... just as Leona unleashed her E [Zenith Blade], Roland flashed sideways forward, and then...

Q: [Earth Shattered!]

The cow knocked up the enemy Varus, who had no mobility skills.

Is a fight about to break out? But they clearly can't beat us.

[No, this angle is wrong!]

Keria reacted quickly enough, but as a normal player, when you see the enemy support flash to control the AD, your first instinct is to subconsciously think that the enemy's next target is the AD.

However, that moment of surprise caused him to miss the best opportunity to correct his position.

W [Savage Charge]

From the top left to the bottom right, even though the distance between the two wasn't as far as one might imagine, this position was still enough for Alistar to send Leona flying. With Alistar's charge, Leona, who had just been standing in the river, was suddenly slammed to the other side of the wall by Alistar, which was the location of the Blast Cone near the bottom lane in the red side's lower jungle. However, the Blast Cone had not yet spawned.

【Forced Wall-Passing Technique!】: In Summoner's Rift, some terrain models allow players to pass through walls, and Alistar happens to be a hero who can perfectly send others through walls. With a feint attack, the only enemy left in the river is Varus, who is like a mini-Lu Bu. JKL is not going to hold back.

E face, W set, AQ connection.

The romance of playing Ezreal lies in boldly using E forward and then face-rolling the keyboard.

T1's bot lane duo was also caught off guard. Leona was so anxious that she used her Flash to Flash back down after being knocked down. However, due to being pre-planned, Leona couldn't touch the enemy Ezreal without her E skill. So T1's bot lane duo gritted their teeth and focused all their damage on Alistar.

There was no way to escape. The support and bot lane duo were separated by the enemy duo, EZ still had Flash available, and his teammates were all engaged in a chaotic fight in the top lane. Even if Lu Bu was stupid, he would know at this moment that he could only try to trade with the enemy.

then...

[TES_JKL kills T1_Gumayusi]

but

"Holy crap, help! Help! Help! Help!"

Since EZ's early-game items weren't geared towards high damage output, he spent a lot of time dealing with Varus. When he turned around, Alistar was already low on health and had the Ignite effect active, being relentlessly chased down by Leona.

"Holy crap, I'm out of treatment."

"A fruit! An A-grade fruit! I can still be saved! Quick!"

"coming!"

The belatedly realizing what was happening, JKL immediately aimed at the Blast Fruit A in the middle of the river, which was in front of the Minotaur. With a "pop" sound, the Blast Fruit in front of him instantly exploded into six pieces.

coming!

Roland's eyes lit up. With his current health, it would be too late for him to auto-attack, but if the AD carry came to help him, he could rush to the front to farm and heal to his heart's content, thus achieving a miraculous recovery and completing a brilliant play.

I won this game!

but...

It is expected that there has been a slight deviation from reality.

The fruit that could restore his health was right in front of him, but his condition was not good enough to support him to continue.

"How could you fall here?"

"Clearly... as long as we get to that place..."

Just as the Minotaur was about to touch the Fruit of Life, he had less than 10 health points left, but the continuous damage from the Ignite was 20 times the hero level.

In other words, it can't withstand it.

[T1_Keria kills TES_BAN]

With the final Ignite damage detonated, the Minotaur died in the last second before dawn.

To be continued

Settled: Chapter Twenty-One: An Unforeseen Path

Holy crap, this is amazing!

What a pity, I almost got to eat the fruit.

[That's a good profit. With such trash items, an Ezreal paired with Alistar can kill or severely damage an enemy. This wave of damage is incredible.]

[If only the Minotaur had died, otherwise, with him at low health, another two hits would have completely tilted the enemy team!]

In the bottom half of the map, the support player managed to gain a slight advantage thanks to a clever idea. In the top half, Knight and Haro teamed up to teach T1's mid and jungle a lesson. Of course, on the one hand, Knight showed obvious signs of bullying the "older generation". He didn't play any of those games with Dafei. Anyway, he had the advantage of his hero and would go in and fight whenever he had the chance.

Faker must be feeling bad.

Twisted Fate is inherently difficult to play against Jayce. In his prime, he might have been able to make some plays, but now he's almost an old man, and his skills have declined so much that he simply can't keep up. Even if he could keep up, there's no need for him to go all out in this game.

Based on the principle that the top eight teams in the same group should not meet, they should at least meet in the semifinals, so there is no need to fight so hard in just one group stage match.

As a result, T1's mid and jungle players were in trouble.

Can your Lee Sin + Twisted Fate beat my Jayce + Xin Zhao?

Can't beat them?

If you can't beat me, then stay in the mid lane and sit in jail. But if you, the jungler, dare to show your face in the top lane, Ha Huang will immediately tower dive for Da Fei.

no way

After failing to gain an advantage in the upper half of the map, Oner had no choice but to return to the lower half. He thought that since TES's bot lane had just gained an advantage, and given the personalities of the two opponents, they should play more aggressively, which would give him a chance to gank.

Then he shifted his view and saw that TES's bot lane, which was clearly ahead in kills, was still being pushed back to their tower.

Oner: ? ? ?

"Under what circumstances should we take the road?"

"They never even considered fighting us. Unless we force our way through, they have no chance."

"There's no reason for that, given the bot lane duo on the other side."

"Take another look at EZ's items?"

With Sheen, Tear of the Goddess, Cull, and Doran's Shield, JKL only spent some gold to buy a Tear of the Goddess that barely boosted his early-game strength. It was clear that he was going to continue playing passively and farm to the end.

this...

What exactly did the enemy bot lane do today? Why is their style so peculiar?

Meanwhile, in the TES team's in-game voice chat:

"As we all know: Firepower Boys is a beginner's guide. Leng Feng was kicked out of the Wolf Warriors because he was too bad. As for me, I was slandered as a lazy bum because I was too stable in the bottom lane. You know what I mean."

"You're nothing special. Do you know how reliable I am? Look at this Cull, look at this Tear of the Goddess, look at this Manaflow Band. If it weren't for the fact that Iceborn Gauntlet isn't suitable for Ezreal in the Mythic version, I would have given you at least two Iceborn Gauntlet bruiser Ezreal builds."

"No, I'm more conservative. I went straight for the red crystal and shoes, which is durable and fast, and has the best cost performance. Can anyone else do that?"

"It makes me more stable. Look, in that fight just now, I wasn't even touched by the enemy support."

......

Originally, JKL's choice of Ezreal was already considered a preemptive move, and you wouldn't expect to see him play until his mid-game items were complete. After the support got Alistar, his preemptive move became even more pronounced.

However, none of this justifies his decision to go against his conscience and build those low-quality items.

until...

Roland, standing to the side, began to boast about his own philosophy of steadiness.

JKL couldn't sit still any longer.

I'm an AD carry player, and you're a top laner who switched to support. You're here to teach me how to play AD carry safely? I have to give you a proper on-the-spot lesson. So... Little Lu Bu felt a lot more pressure and instantly felt like he was facing three turrets in lane, and they even had the function of missing minions and ringing bells.

Not to mention Japanese women.

He even used Hexflash to flash into the bot lane toilet, enjoying the 8848 titanium toilet, crocodile skin seat, diamond particle filter, and automatic alarm for separating the person from the toilet, just to wait there for the enemy to think that there is no one in the bot lane and then get reckless.

As a result, the two of them suddenly changed their personalities and became extremely cautious, showing absolutely no desire to start playing AD.

Let alone T1.

Even the LPL commentators and viewers started to sense that something was wrong.

[I'm starting to suspect that the King of the Board and the King of Ice are on tranquilizers. Is this the kind of art style these two are creating?]

Something's not right, very not right! I suspect there's something fishy about this.

[I suggest putting TES through a drug test after the match. That Alistar player was not only awful, but also more cowardly than the prophet's cat.]

[What happened to the promise of "chickens for a smoke, fire for a brawl"? Did I stay up all night cultivating immortality just to see this?]
