Chapter 70 Pike captures Yu Wenbo and takes him out! He is the king of laning! [7K]

"Although there is no experience bonus from the jungle knife, after Pike goes online, he only needs three melee soldiers to upgrade to level 2!"

"This means that even if Pike comes online late, Galio can only retreat after smelling the melee soldier's experience, and will be suppressed!"

“This design is really telling!”

Although the designers have been trying to curb the style of play that carries punishment on the line, including but not limited to "removing some wild monster experience from the jungle knife"; "increasing the jungle clearing ability of the jungle knife" and "wild monster hunter punishment".

But the experience of a BUFF still only needs to be gained by eating the first three melee soldiers to upgrade!

If you use the conventional "Pike Jungle" routine, after your teammates in the bottom lane help punish and quickly eat the big wolf, you only need the first wave of 5 soldiers to upgrade.

In other words, no matter what, you can at least be 2 soldiers ahead of your opponent and reach level , and the opponent must wait for the second wave of soldiers before upgrading and fighting back.

However, Zuo Shou obviously had no experience against Pike. After seeing the opponent reach level 2, he just retreated normally and was still waiting for his second Q to clear the line.

Pike walked straight ahead.

There is no reason for Galio to move backwards, because he was the one who pushed the line forward in the first place. If he retreats, he will be forced out of the experience zone. He can only move forward firmly with the three back-row soldiers.

It's just a Pike, what use can he be in laning?

This is also the thinking of most people who don’t know Pike well enough.

But in fact, from the glory of "five-way swing" in the true sense back then to today, the main weakening of Pike is only the ability to push the line.

Pike is just weak at pushing lanes.

But he is definitely not weak in fighting!

A short piercing Q, the instantly released [Bone Piercing Spikes] ignores minions, penetrates directly into Galio's thigh, causing an instant 90% slowdown.

{When the Bone Piercing Spikes hit multiple targets at the same time, they will prioritize locking onto heroes}
Pike continued to move forward, and the Blade Trigger easily hit three AAAs.

Galio fired back with a powerful punch.

But with the shoes on and almost naked, after deducting 30 points of armor, Pike's set still dealt a full 264 drops of health!

You know, Galio only had 632 HP at level , and one third of it was taken away directly!

This does not include the continuous burning of the red BUFF.

“Why does it hurt?” The left hand asked itself in confusion.

Pike, as the only assassin-type support, the designer is generous in terms of numbers due to his skills and hero characteristics.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Q skill. The basic damage of the first-level naked equipment is as high as 100 points, and the full-level basic damage is as high as 300 points, which is higher than the ultimate skills of some heroes!

In comparison, Ahri's Q only deals 40 damage per stage, and even if it has two stages, it only deals 80 damage per stage.

In addition to the passive [Fortune of Drowning]'s {Pike cannot increase his health through any means, all health increases will be converted into attack power} feature, it even has an extremely high growth AD attribute at the same time.

And if Pike's Q {hit a hero} or {cancels the guidance}, 75% of the cost will be returned, which means only 20 mana points are needed!
The CD is even one second shorter than Galio's Q!
Chu Jun, the second commentator, was very excited when he saw his favorite Galio.

But when I saw this wave, I couldn't help it.

"I feel like I almost don't understand Left-Hand Galio. The first war gale itself didn't even blow away the man and his troops," he kept muttering to himself.

"On the contrary, Master Ye handled it very well! After grabbing the lane control in the second round, he directly broke the line of troops, making it impossible for the second wave of troops to merge with the first wave. This would make it even more difficult for Galio to deal full damage with Q. At the same time, he also used his body to pressure the opponent so that he could not move forward to attack the passive! Very detailed!"

Chu Jun showed off his understanding crazily: "Galio's efficiency in clearing lanes with his sandals is not high in this version. His skills have a long CD and consume a lot of mana. If you want to grab lanes, you must use A's passive!"

Galio's wave-clearing ability is nothing more than his passive A+Q.

But with Pike pressing forward like this, Galio doesn't dare to force his way forward to attack, so he can only use [War Wind].

The problem is that the current Galio is no longer the numerical colossus with both tankiness and damage in S7. It is simply a pipe dream to go out with straw sandals in the early stage and rely solely on Q to grab the line!
Facing Pike's old trick at level 2, Zuo Shou quickly figured it out and just used Q+passive A against you to exchange blood.

If you can use a full set of skills to fight back, and with the help of the soldiers' damage recovery, it will be fine if you exchange blood.

It's just that Pike has four bottles of red potions, plus red BUFF and passive skill recovery, so he has no reason to be afraid of the opponent's consumption.

Left-handed Galio’s proficiency is indeed not very high. Just now, White Crescent asked him if he wanted to play, and he said “anything is fine”.

However, despite this, he still handled the details of his laning phase well.

Even though Ye Bo had already used the advantage of grabbing the second Q to pull the line of soldiers, Zuo Shou changed his thinking. He used the method of giving up the Q in the back row and focusing on the front row soldiers for two consecutive Qs, and forcibly seized the line of soldiers by taking advantage of the "experience difference" and "health difference" between the front and back row soldiers.

This resulted in the situation where Pike only needed one melee soldier to upgrade in the third wave and then grab the third one being broken.

Galio went forward for the third time and used his QA passive on the melee soldier, while Pike focused on a small soldier.

Both sides reached level three almost at the same time!

When you reach level three, your left hand should be at its peak.

Since he already has W and E, how can Pike still come up like that and attack with QA at close range to consume the opponent's energy?
It's time to switch the initiative!

But what he didn't expect was that the moment Pike reached level 3, he didn't retreat but recoiled, and walked straight towards him with Q raised!

Left hand reacts extremely quickly, and immediately uses W to charge and taunt
But the next moment, he was directly stabbed back by the steel nails of "Short Hair"!

{Pike's Q skill changes form when charging for 0.5 seconds, and charging only increases the length of the hook, without affecting the damage or hook-back distance}
Galio's figure was picked up behind him by a backflip!

However, after Galio's W was interrupted, he was still able to play the taunt effect of the charged time. Seeing the controlled Pike, his left hand instinctively backhanded E to aim and kick out.

But Pike, this is what you're waiting for!

An almost synchronized sideways E kick was performed, almost scraping the edge to pull the bodies apart.

While dodging the back kick and punch.

Galio seemed to have crashed into the ghost path left in the same place!

Pike turned around and hit AAA three times again, relying on the red BUFF's deceleration to continue chasing and killing, chasing the embarrassed Galio all the way into the tower, and he almost looked like he was about to be killed!
At level 3, the middle lane was inexplicably hit to a huge health gap.

"Oh shit! No problem!" Chu Jun in the live broadcast room suddenly shouted excitedly: "Is that so?! I understand!"

"No wonder he dared to pick Pike against Galio!"

In this wave, if you don’t understand these two heroes at the same time, it is difficult to see how many layers of game are hidden in it.

Chu Jun saw the question mark in the comment and explained: "That comment asked why Galio didn't just use W to interrupt Pike's Q? It's obvious that he didn't watch the host's video!"

"Galio's W is fully charged for 1.5 seconds, but it only takes 0.5 seconds to release! Everyone who has watched my videos knows that after using W, Galio will be stuck in place for a while, plus the casting time of your E skill back kick, which means that if you use W to control it in seconds, Pike will be able to dodge E %!"

"What about Pike? I remember that Pike's Q short charge only takes 0.5 seconds to turn into a hook, which means that unless Galio predicts and uses W first, Pike can just use Q and then E."

"And if Galio uses W after him, regardless of whether it's a taunt or not, Pike will definitely interrupt your W with his short Q, forcing you to use a taunt at most, and then use it to dodge your E with E! Or make sure your E hits!"

Chu Jun spoke with great excitement, wanting to explain the whole thing to the audience.

He could imagine many possible strategies for this laning match, and Pike seemed to have plans to deal with them.

"Why are you still struggling with the instant W? Galio's W has a full 18 second CD, 8 seconds longer than his Q! It only does 20 damage even if it's instant! 20 points!"

"Don't forget what I've always said, W is for connecting with E and then fully utilizing Q and dual passives. Even if you use W instantly, you interrupt others' hooks, but Pike's Q will be refunded when it's interrupted, and the price you paid is that your E is empty and your Q is half empty! You can't even refresh your passive!"

Compared with other commentators, Chu Jun's biggest advantage lies in his high rank. He has been able to maintain the Grandmaster rank in the Korean server for many years and has even played in semi-professional competitions, so he can see more details than his peers.

In fact, this is indeed why Ye Bo is very confident. At least in a 1v1 matchup, Pike will definitely not be weaker than Galio.

This is the blind spot he discovered through many matchup experiments, constantly trying out actual combat between the two heroes.

"In this wave, the laning in the middle lane is already at a disadvantage in my opinion, because Pike will be released soon!"

"A Pike can gain an advantage in laning!"

"I can guarantee that even though Master Ye has never played Galio in a match, his understanding of Galio is definitely not low! At least it is far better than Left Hand's!"

"He is indeed a talented player favored by the anchors. He has a perfect understanding of the hero and the details of the mechanics. He is simply a natural laning king!"

After a round of analysis and flattery, the number of comments in Chu Jun's live broadcast room increased dramatically.

【Wang Chujun? Ye Chujun! 】

[Chu Sheng is really good at licking Ye Wen now. Does he know that you are so filial? ]

[Does anyone really think so much when they are playing? I feel like it’s a big win! ]

[Still winning, still winning, winning eight rounds in a row, right? Do you think I, Master Ye, run a fried chicken shop? ]

[Let’s have fun! Punching the two saints and kicking the pure emperor, if you don’t have the real stuff, you think you can really beat the thief saint]

[Isn't it mainly because of the pure white bean sprout? Why did they choose Galio for Left Hand? His Galio is not good enough to dribble past others! ]

Even Chu Jun, who is an expert in Galio, couldn't figure out how to solve it for a while.

Pike really doesn't have the ability to push the lane.

But, if you are suppressed by me to the point that you dare not even get close to the line of troops and can only use skills from a distance, then you will never be able to find the initiative in roaming no matter what.

"Pike moved! Very detailed, he used W to disappear directly from the line of troops!"

"The opponent has no idea whether he is going to the top, bottom or jungle area! The deterrent effect is very strong!"

The disappearance of Pike made everyone in Topsports feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Especially the male gun who was farming in the enemy's blue zone.

"Worri, can you come or not?" Xiaotian called urgently.

"Well, come on then." Zuo Shou glanced at the soldiers under the tower, gritted his teeth and moved to avoid taking the blame.

"Let's go too, but the opponent's bottom lane doesn't seem to have any intention of going." Jack Ai said out loud.

But when Galio reached the river, he saw Pyke who had already returned.

To be precise, it was the Pike that stole the crab from the river!
This version of the newborn river crab has only 600 health points, and a 450 punishment combined with two or three basic attacks can kill it directly.

Xiaotian's face turned a little green.

He was already missing a BUFF, and now his river crab was stolen. He couldn't reach level 4 after clearing these two jungle areas.

This style of play is disgusting!
However, this is just the beginning.

Pike returned to the line and began to play the real game of this system.

"Xin Zhao is here! Pike used his counter E to dodge E and gain a health advantage. We might still have a chance!" Remember excitedly said, "Luckily, Zuoshou has a good sense of safety and has been moving very far back, eh?"

"It seems like Xin Zhao isn't here to gank at all! Is he just here to help Pyke push the lane?"

Guan Zeyuan made an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Is that so? Pike mid laner is actually still half support in essence?"

"Let the jungler help push the line together, and then you can supplement the economy by releasing roaming ganks and punishing counter-jungles, giving full play to the characteristics of the hero. It's easy to understand!"

The "Monster Hunter" mechanism of punishing junglers for last-hitting has only one trigger judgement.

It means {the ratio of "money" gained from minions exceeds that from wild monsters}
The key point is money!
Experience will not be penalized. Even if you hang in the middle lane the entire time, as long as you don't last hit, the penalty will never be triggered!
Pike is very good at cooperating with the jungler, and the jungler doesn't need to come out specifically to help push the jungle. Just do a "passing gank" every time the jungler is nearby. If you don't catch the minion, just push the minion line along the way. Then the two of them can roam together and counter-jungle.

On the other hand, Galio has proven before that even if he drives forward with Predator, he will still be interrupted by Pike's short-charged Q, and then easily pulled away with E. Pike has super high mobility, so as long as he is not too murderous, there is no risk of being ganked!

This is also why there is punishment.

Pike's support ability is already top-notch, and the current TP cannot bring much improvement. Gank obviously does not really need the supplement of ignite.

Then the punishment can fully enhance Pike's control over the enemy jungle area, and can even occasionally be used in conjunction with the {Soldier Dematerializer} to force a push.

Why not?
Zhao Xin circled back again, and Pike hooked from a long distance, causing Galio to flash back to the city, forcing him to give up TP early.

Seeing this, Ye Bo immediately became interested: "Jiejie, it feels like it's about time!"

"Elbow!" Jiejie replied concisely.

After the two of them pushed the line together again, they both moved back and disappeared from the map.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Xin's jungle area is empty, and the two have not returned to the city yet. This wave definitely requires time to return to the city for supplies.

But this wave has a good timing.

TES's bottom lane is in a state of isolation and helplessness!
"It feels like a replay of the scene. Isn't this Top Esports' trick?!" Chu Jun had obviously seen the clues: "Top Esports didn't notice it. They thought Pike and Xin Zhao had returned to the city. Unexpectedly, it was a variation of the mid-jungle duo!"

"Top Sports is about to be defeated by its own best move!"

After Graves exchanged to the jungle area, he had not yet reached level 4. At the same time, there was a roaming threat from the middle lane, so naturally he had to return to the city early.

Galio had just been caught and brought back to the city by Xin Zhao, forcing him to TP. He was unable to move around to provide support even though he was under the tower.

There are only two people in the lower half of TES this time!

When Jack Ai saw someone coming from the triangle grass field of vision, and then saw the opponent coming in with two waves of lines, he actually felt that it seemed a little familiar.

"Oh my goodness bro!? Can Emperor K save us?"

"I don't have TP."

"I have it, I have it. Should I come?" The top laner Da Huang asked for advice.

Jack Ai made a prompt decision: "Come on! Do it! We can't let them cross like this!"

The vampire's sudden retreat also made Saint Spear realize his intention: "The vampire seems to want to T!"

This is why the top laner tends to be invisible in the early game after the TP change. It is difficult to TP no matter which lane is being fought. Even the defending side can only TP to the tower to rescue people, and will inevitably lose a lot of things.

But the tower dive in the bottom lane has already begun.

Although EDG's bottom lane was not as experienced as Top Esports' and did not build up the main line in advance, the opponent's bottom lane had already reached double three.

But compared to the previous game, they also have one more person!

Even if the vampire can tank it, the most he can do is exchange kills. There is no reason to be discouraged by such a small threat.

Pike uses E first to rush towards the face through the wall, waiting for the ghost to turn around while raising the steel dagger!

"Again!!"

This scene instantly triggered Jack's PTSD-like memories, remembering the second-level kill.

That time, he pretended to accumulate power, but actually seized the last opportunity of Pike's E to flash to the face and stun both of them, making an unexpected stranglehold!

Jack Ai, who had already suffered a loss, had no time to explain and took a deep breath.

The moment he saw Pike E turn around, he immediately predicted and used Flash to separate from Tam.
"Hey! What is Jack doing!!!"

"What is this flash??"

Ye Bo understands Jack's love too well.

"Movement Habit" is not simply a way of moving, but it refers to how the opponent will deal with non-directional skills.

Ye Bo guessed that Jack Ai might fall into the same trap again.

It turns out he was right.

“Senna, who didn’t dodge, was hooked again! Zhao Xin aimed at his back and stabbed him, and Draven came to kill him with his axe!”

In fact, even without this flash, the level 3 Senatam would have no chance of struggling against a four-on-two attack, it would just look a little uglier.

But at the same time, TP has lit up under the tower.

Because the vampire had to go behind the tower before he could use it, it took some time, but without the soldiers in this position, it should be difficult for Kennen to go deeper.

But Saint Spear Brother didn't want to give up.

He turned around and attacked the soldier first to accumulate the [Thunder Seal] with W, then used a Thunder Armor E and flash, and decisively forced his way into the tower!
The Thunder Seal A+Q+W detonates, interrupting the vampire's TP!

“Interrupt! But Saint Spear also managed to hold on until the tower was hit three times! Vampire was so angry that he started sprinting and chased after him!”

"The fight started at the same time, and the bottom lane has already been won. Draven killed Senna with one blow and got the first blood!"

"EDG's detailed resistance swap first pulls down the tower damage. Anyway, there's no one in the bottom lane, so there's no need to rush. Wait for the skill CD and the defense tower to overheat and refresh, then attack Tam again!"

Tam has E [Thick Skin] and is very difficult to kill. He survives by relying on weakness and treatment, and also wants to use the defense tower to exchange one person.

But after Pike waited for QE to refresh, he used EQ to knock back the ball and seamlessly connected it with the stun, which prevented Tam from using the thick skin he had accumulated!

In the end, Renata's [timely rescue] brought Pike back to life on the spot after he was killed by the tower!

"Ahhh! This should be Galio's trick!" Chu Jun was obviously a little anxious.

How he wished this Pike was Galio!
"EDG's detailed tower-crossing and counter-attack finally completed the kill without injury, and Draven even mentioned his passive!"

"Although the number of layers is not large, this time, EDG has achieved the rhythm that Top Esports expected in the previous game!"

[What does Ip Man mean? He is targeting my brother! ]

[Great, it's the Water Ghost King, we water ghosts are saved! ]

[This wave is not just Ice King's own joke, what is this flash? I think he was so scared when he saw Pike use EQ that he immediately shook his head! ]

[No, the jungler is here! What is the jungler doing! ]

[This is how Topsports imagines itself. This is how we Topsports are~]

Just as Topsports fans were about to express their condolences, they heard good news coming from top lane.

Obviously, the effect of Holy Spear's self-sacrificing interruption was significant, because when the vampire came down as T, he would definitely be able to at least replace the person who was revived while resisting the tower, and at least save Tam to stop the loss.

You will definitely make money, it's actually a matter of choice whether to make a big profit by eating the plating in the top lane, or to make a big profit without taking any damage in the bottom lane.

But Saint Spear chose to suffer a small loss himself.

Under normal circumstances, this wave would just be him and the opponent exchanging double moves. A single vampire at this point in time would not be strong enough to kill it even if he sprinted all the way, so the loss would not be too much.

But he didn't expect that Zuoshou and Xiaotian had a keen sense of smell and took action at the first moment.

Seeing that the bottom lane would definitely not be able to provide support in time, Galio and Graves made a decisive decision and rushed up together to launch a counterattack.

The result was that Kennen flashed and interrupted the scene!
"Saint Spear was already walking steadily towards the second tower, but Galio went straight through the jungle and activated Predator to go around from behind!"

"Galio was successfully retained, and Graves followed up to steadily take down Kennen!" I remember repeating the changes on the battlefield.

"The two sides engaged in a passionate two-way confrontation!" Guan Zeyuan was making his closing statement: "In this case, TES recovered a wave in the top lane, which is barely acceptable. After all, even if the hero Senna died, they could still survive."

"Hey! What is Pike doing!?"

Everyone thought that this wave was over.

But from a bird's eye view, the bottom lane seems to be still changing.

The four people in the bottom lane retreated together after eating the plating, and it seemed like they returned to the city together.

But actually.

When Ye Bo discovered that Galio was missing and heard the sad news from the road, he suddenly had a new idea.

"Brothers, let's do it again. Saint Spear Brother can't die in vain!"

"Two, two, three, three, four, one more time, eh? I like it!"

"You were so cruel to Shui." Meiko's tone seemed to show some reluctance, but her hands did not slow down.

The three of them just squatted in the bushes.

And Pike, once again, stuck to the wall and gurgled into the water.
The God’s perspective knows the specific process of level 1—but TES has no idea!

They only knew that Pike learned W in level one, and maybe they were negligent in level one and sneaked in.

Pike used the same trick again, sticking to the wall and using W to sneak into the back, bypassing the triangle grass eye and sneaking into the back.

Jackie couldn't hear the sad shouts from the fans at the scene. Senna, who had been resurrected earlier, was walking towards the tower step by step.

"Brother Shuizi, do you want to wait for me to come together?" Mark asked.

"There's an eye on the triangle grass, are you okay?" Jack Ai looked at the soldiers suffering under the tower and couldn't stand the scene.

then.

Senna, who had just walked to the bottom of the tower, saw Pike walking out behind him.

"I rely on!"

Even though their conditions were not very good, with the support of Renata's resurrection, it was obviously not too difficult to kill Senna alone.

Pike used another charged Q to hit Senna, just like the figure that took off again and again in the Proving Grounds!

While getting the Endless Guard, he turned around and used E to force himself out to offset the control. Relying on Renata, Pike didn't even need to use flash.

Senna was killed by four people under the tower again!

[Discipline, discipline, discipline! MD Ice Emperor is always so undisciplined. Seriously, sooner or later, something big will happen!]

[Pike captures Yu Wenbobi! Step out!!!]

[Shouldn't the Guardian be more popular? Galio is being suppressed by Pike and roaming around. Why play Galio? He should go back to playing his favorite hero, the Eternal Hunter Twins! ]

[It's a pity, if all three heads were given to Draven, Draven would be chopped into Yu Youbo with one sword, right? ]

[It’s not a big problem. Top Esports’ Draven will get high and give himself up soon. Oh, this isn’t Top Esports’ Draven. It’s okay then.]

Since both of them were in poor condition, Draven had already made the offer and there was no need to force it.

Jack Ai in the camera was shaking his head helplessly.

However, he was still in a good mood and showed a "white flag" expression to Senna's body in the canyon.
