Chapter 98: Lure the enemy into a trap! "A matchup with a long history!"
Under normal circumstances, the difference between a jungler leveling up to level 3 and a mid laner leveling up to level 3 is not much different, but since Sejuani is delayed in his return due to his tower crossing, it will inevitably take quite a while.
By knowing his own progress in reaching level 3, Ye Bo could roughly judge the time for Sejuani to reach level 3 and attack the top lane.
He looked at Silas's radical blood transfusion and began to think.
The reason why Sylas's laning strength depends purely on his performance is because of this hero's consumption method. He has to take the initiative to go up and use E2!
The Q skill can only hit a certain area when cast normally and the damage is very low. W needs to be cast close to the face, and the same goes for the passive. All of them require E2 to hit.
Therefore, some professional players' Sylas seem to be getting beaten all the time in laning phase, while others can frequently kill their opponents or be killed by them alone.
It depends on the player's laning style and whether he dares to try E2 frequently.
However, Sylas has been out for three years, and everyone has a good idea of how to deal with this hero. The simplest way is to stand parallel to the line of soldiers and not give the opponent space to use E.
Like Ye Bo in the previous game, he also retreated and stood above the lane when Zoe was guarding against Amumu at level 6, which gave him space to use E.
Including the first wave of Sylas' E in this game, it was Akali who retreated and wanted to roam, which gave her the position.
Ye Bo examined the line of troops.
At level one, Sylas rushes up to exchange blood, attracting the hatred of the minion line while also using his passive AOE to reach the line. The minion line is now advancing towards Akali.
This may be an opportunity that can be exploited.
The director splits the screen to give the split shots of the top and middle lanes at the same time.
On one side was Gnar, who was being pressed in front of the tower and could only use his boomerang to throw at the crocodile in a helpless and furious manner.
On one side, Akali was trying her best to push the line in the middle lane, looking extremely anxious.
At this moment, Akali, who had been promoted to level 3, retreated directly from the line of troops again.
Of course Scout knew the other party's intentions.
Just like at level one, as long as Akali is not too close to the minion line, it will give Sylas space to use E!
Scout used his E skill [Stealth] without hesitation and rushed forward, approaching the back line of soldiers, turning and jumping over the soldiers in one step.
The pointer hovered and aimed at Akali as she moved in a somewhat "flustered" manner.
Silas swung the [Abduction] chain forward!
The two sides were previously fighting for the line, and the distance between the two melee heroes was not far.
This chain was launched at close range and was aimed right at the target. It seemed that Akali could only rely on her quick sideways E to dodge.
But Akali still used E backwards——and suddenly used backward flash for no reason!
Straight line, normal E flash towards your own tower.
Take the initiative to find the location where you "collide" with the chain!
The first stage of Sylas's E can only move 400 yards, but the second stage of his E can double the distance to 800 yards.
Although Akali's E's Falcon Dart can also fly 825 yards, the "backward" displacement is actually only about 350 yards.
Therefore, if Akali uses E to retreat in a straight line facing the opponent, there is a high probability that she will be hit by the enemy.
But more importantly, there is no way to "bring" Silas into this position!
That's right.
The point where Akali flashed landed was exactly the end point of Sylas' second chain!
When Scout first saw the flash, his head was full of question marks, but the next moment, he reacted instantly as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
But the chain that was thrown out was like poured water.
There is no turning back.
Don't forget that Sylas's E skill has the mechanism of "fixed shooting distance" + "second stage strong displacement". The "leap and stretch E" used by Yebo Sylas to kill a single person on the sideline in the first game utilized this mechanism.
The kidnapping chain just flew straight forward.
Successfully hit Akali.
At the same time, Sylas' flash also turned gray.
{Flash cannot be used during flight after the E skill hits}
Silas was pulled forward 800 yards by his own chains and flew straight under the enemy's defense tower!
Ye Bo set it on fire in the air in advance, and Falcon Dance successfully hit it in the face.
Silas reacted quickly and immediately flashed back to escape the range of the defense tower.
But this position is too deep.
When there is no target to attack, the defense tower can search for the enemy extremely quickly and shoot out lasers in an instant.
The damage of the defense tower increases over time, and it just happened to be completed on time in a little over 3 minutes.
The 218 points of attack power hitting Sylas is almost equivalent to helping Akali use two more skills out of thin air!
The second stage of Falcon Dance rises, and murderous intent follows closely!
Scout was desperate and could only turn back and fight back, but it was obvious that he could not win and he did not give up Ignite.
Both sides were already engaged in an intense blood exchange, and neither side's blood volume was very healthy.
This sudden change was enough to be fatal.
Falcon Dance landed and used A followed by W to form a haze formation, then chased and used QA to cast the sickle, and used the ignited burning to cut off Sylas' head neatly!
Completed a solo kill!
Because the director happened to turn on the split-screen perspective, this scene did not need to be replayed and was witnessed by everyone in its entirety.
"Oh my god, another solo kill in the middle lane!!! The third solo kill in this BO5!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly: "YE player, he really is Ip Man!"
"Use your body to dodge, find the link, and lure you into the trap!" Wang Duoduo also slammed the table with passion: "A single kill with great details! What a unique idea!"
"If I remember correctly, even if Sylas uses Flash, he can't cancel the landing point of that E, and after hitting E, he can't use Flash again."
"Akali's seemingly simple flash definitely shows YE's ultimate understanding of these two heroes!"
Rita on the side made a seal-like gesture of clapping, which seemed much simpler and more crude: "This wave is so handsome!"
[The thief laughed at me, breaking a new record~ Last time, he could at least make it to level 3, but in this game, he was killed by a single player at level ? 】
[To be honest, this wave can't really be said to be a rookie of the thief's skill, it can only be said that Master Ye is too pathetic, and there is nothing wrong with Sylas's operation]
[Scout: "Damn, Akali has one drop of blood"]
[With a low IQ, Jie is the king of laning! 】
[Just now someone said what happened to the Thief in the early game? Hmmmm? Where is he? Where is he! ]
[Hey, everyone, stop bragging, it's just a steal of a solo kill, this thing has been killed by so many people this year, even Jiao Tailang has killed it, it's just my Master Ye's basic operation~]
The director cut to Scout's first-person perspective.
But everyone's focus was on the camera in the lower right corner. Scout had an extremely ugly look on his face. He punched the air with a huge movement and clearly made the "AO, XI, Ba" lip shape.
The other four BLG players didn't say anything, for fear of upsetting the little guy in the middle again.
Only in the game, everyone switched the screen to the middle lane in tacit understanding.
Cyber Edition: Looking at Each Other
The impact of this wave is far more than just a single kill.
"Still crossing? Akali is missing, her health is less than half." Said Sejuani, who had just killed the red buff, while looking at the soldiers in the top lane.
bin looked at Akali who had disappeared and fell into deep thought.
If you insist, you can get through it.
But Gnar still has flash, and although the Spearmaster's troops are stuck in the line, his boomerang has accumulated some rage, so it is possible that it can become bigger and delay time.
After crossing the tower, Crocodile and Piglet will definitely use up all their skills, and their health cannot be too healthy.
According to their original plan, the Ruined King would kill people in the bottom lane and then return to the city, and then walk from his home to the top lane. This would definitely not be enough time, so he could just cross slowly.
But Akali's early release and ability to come alone from the middle lane are completely different.
If Akali comes up and gets even one kill, the mid lane will probably be completely unplayable just like before!
"Don't cross. Akali has a Twilight Formation to hold you back. You will all be dead when the Ruined King arrives." A commanding voice came from the middle lane.
After hearing this, the two people on the road thought again and felt that there was no need to rush.
After all, Akali can't always come to support the top lane, and her pushing speed is not that fast.
Whether Gnar dies or not in this wave, he is already doomed. In the next few minutes, Gnar will be under the tower, facing the crocodile pig, and will definitely be a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Okay, then wait for the next wave and be careful in the middle lane."
"The mid laner doesn't have two skills." Scout spoke again.
"Well, I can come and take a look later. I don't think there's a chance to catch him." Weiwei responded immediately, tacitly ignoring the death just now.
After all, the top lane is where melee combat suppresses ranged combat. If you want to prevent Gnar from gaining experience, Crocodile must stand behind the back row soldiers.
So actually Crocodile didn't do much finishing touches just now.
Since he was no longer crossing the tower, Crocodile turned around and pushed the line of soldiers forward neatly without affecting his own development, and then returned to the city to convert economic benefits into advantages.
"Seeing Crocodile pushing the line of soldiers forward, Akali pressed the recall button nearby, and Gary can finally eat the soldiers," Guan Zeyuan expressed his sympathy for Gary.
"But I feel like this is just delaying death, it's not enough to quench my thirst. Even if the Ruined King comes to counter-camp next time, it will be useless. They can't win this 2v2, and they might even be dragged down with him!"
Wang Duoduo nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Gnar's tower is still very dangerous. Even if EDG's mid laner has an advantage, I'm afraid he will be pinned down in the top lane."
The EDG players on the field were naturally very clear about this.
Even though Akali's solo kill saved this wave, it only barely helped Gnar get back into the game, and the second wave of tower diving was still difficult to defend against.
Although the burst of the "Crocodile and Pig" combination is slightly lower than that of the "Desert Spider", in terms of instant control and melee combat, it is definitely better!
When playing solo, the most worrying thing is not being able to stand under the tower.
If Gnar continues to be on the top lane, EDG's rhythm will inevitably be led by the nose, the top and jungle will continue to be suppressed, and the bottom lane will not be able to continue to expand its advantage.
Ye Bo also knew that it was impossible for single kills to occur frequently in the middle lane. No matter how anxious Scout was, he would definitely be quiet for a while after being killed once.
If this continues, the rhythm will become stagnant.
Soon, Ye Bo made a prompt decision and gave a layout command.
"Brother Saint Spear, after you finish this wave of attacks, go to B. I'll come up."
Ye Bo bought new equipment at the fountain, replaced the {Annihilation Orb} with {Straw Sandals} + {Amplification Book}, then went out again and headed straight for the upper road.
"it is good."
Li Xuanjun didn't say much at this moment.
He really didn't want to let the disadvantage affect the team, but he quickly understood the other party's intention and knew that this might be the only solution.
The top lane is long, and even Gnar's Q soldiers are in danger, and it is easy to fall into an infinite loop of lane collapse.
But for the short line in the middle, at least based on experience, it can definitely be done!
Just wait for Gnar's level to catch up, buy some tanky equipment, and then you can return to the top lane.
If it weren't for the design at the beginning, this hero wouldn't be easily tower dived!
As for whether Akali will be surpassed if she switches to the top lane
Obviously, there are few heroes who are more difficult to be tower dived than Akali!
"EDG changed lanes! They chose to let Akali go to the top lane to deal with the rogue Crocodile and Pig's strong attack!"
"Wow, this decision seems to be a good one. It seems to be able to solve EDG's urgent problem!"
"YE sacrificed his advantage in the middle lane and came to the top lane to take on the most dangerous lane for the team. As long as he can hold on, he may be able to lock down BLG's offensive firepower!"
"You know, BLG's bottom lane is actually at a huge disadvantage, their top lane advantage is not for nothing!"
"And this matchup in the top lane has a lot of history!"
The commentary desk highly praised this decision.
The comments seemed to have overturned bottles of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all of which were full of strong smells.
But Ye Bo thought it was okay.
Every situation changes rapidly, and we have to respond to various situations and deploy troops flexibly.
Rigid, formulaic responses will always be inferior in tactics.
Since what the top lane needs most is someone who can withstand the danger of being surpassed, as long as they can withstand the offensive, there is no doubt that EDG will have the advantage in a 2-1 situation!
The jungler was also rescued at the same time.
The crisis in the top lane was resolved, and the Ruined King went straight to the bottom lane as soon as he came out, without being forced to go to the empty top and jungle areas.
It is equivalent to revitalizing two people in an instant!
When Chen Zebin came back online.
When he saw that it was Akali who appeared behind him, his little eyebrows began to twitch immediately.
"Changed the line?" Weiwei asked in surprise. "It doesn't matter, just change it, we can still cross the line!" Bin said in a high tone, looking very excited.
"Wait until my laning opponent loses some health and then come. His Twilight Formation can't block my damage, so we can just use the damage to kill him."
Scout said nothing, and his face showed no expression.
He looked like, 'It doesn't matter who I hit.'
But obviously, laning against a Gary who is losing a lot of experience is much less stressful than laning against Akali, and you can even turn the tables and become the master overnight!
The two people who got back on the road looked at each other from a distance.
Crocodile showed a [Like] expression, and Akali also showed a [Like] expression.
Although the two had no previous interactions, and had never even spoken a serious word to each other until now.
But it is definitely well-known and has a long history!
One is "exchange study" in childhood.
One is like fate, at the time of fame, becoming the reason for the other's first rise to fame.
The matchup in the top lane suddenly became the only focus of this game!
"There's something to say about this matchup. Damn, it feels like Ip Man shouldn't be that easy to beat when he's playing bin in the top lane!" Uzi in the second live broadcast room sat up straight with excitement.
"By the way, when Akali fights Crocodile, which one should she use?"
The director's perspective was fixed on the top lane.
It’s a pity that this matchup didn’t start from level one. Both of them have already reached level four, and the most tense period of competition over details has passed.
Laning is a long-term job, especially in the top lane. A failed blood exchange may lead to a continued failed blood exchange in the next wave, so the real laning gap is often exposed before level 3.
Both sides start the laning battle with advantages, and it is destined that life and death will not be decided in one go like in ordinary laning battles.
Ye Bo placed a ward in the river and calculated the time to confirm that Sejuani should still be clearing her own blue zone.
It can be seen from the match against Xiaohu that Ye Bo knows a lot about crocodiles.
He knew that the crocodile was at its weakest when it first came online and had no anger. He couldn't give the opponent the opportunity to slowly attack the soldiers to accumulate anger and then start exchanging blood, otherwise it would be impossible to exchange blood.
Akali directly jumped over the soldiers and pressed forward to suppress the crocodile.
The purpose of doing this is to prevent the crocodile from being able to easily approach the line of troops "without getting hurt".
But Bin also understands this matchup very well.
The crocodile rushed forward, passed Akali and wanted to use E to rush into the crowd of soldiers - otherwise his health would be depleted and he would be at a disadvantage, and it would be more difficult to get close to the soldier line and accumulate anger.
The crocodile adjusted its position and charged in a straight line, switching out [Tyrant's Fury] in the pile of soldiers.
The anger bar suddenly turned out to be nearly 40 points!
{Crocodile White Rage QWE will instantly gain 10 rage when it hits a hero, and 1 rage for each soldier it hits.}
However, although this can quickly accumulate rage, if you cannot use red rage W, the damage will not be too high.
But the strength of Crocodile in laning phase lies in its powerful recovery ability, which is exactly what Akali does not have.
It may seem like you have lost some money, but in fact you will be able to make it back with interest in the next wave.
When facing the charging crocodile, Ye Bo did not directly use the Xia Formation.
Because he knew that since the crocodile had already used QE to accumulate anger, he must hold back W to deter Akali and avoid being easily hit by a full set of attacks.
Akali pulled out QA and used Hidden Dragon Seal to fight with the crocodile. The crocodile's anger reached 45 points.
At the moment of the fight, Akali cast [Twilight Array] on the spot to hide her body.
The blue soldier suddenly lost his target.
But the red soldiers are still attacking the crocodile in the pile of soldiers!
Crocodile's second stage E only has a free release period of 4 seconds.
The experienced Chen Zebin pondered for a moment, decisively put away the second knife that was ready to attack the soldier, to prevent his anger from reaching 50 points, and turned around to use E to send out the soldiers to pull away the hatred.
Then the crocodile turned around and attacked the soldier until his anger reached 50, and deliberately stood outside the open soldier line and gave Akali E.
He actually hoped that Akali could come over with E, and the two sides would exchange full sets, and the crocodile would definitely gain by exchanging blood.
After 1 seconds.
Akali's figure did "fly out" from the cloud formation. But it was an "inverted E"!
Akali's E skill is the same as Crocodile's, both of which have an unadjustable "fixed displacement" distance.
Ye Bo did not fly out immediately because he walked back under the cover of smoke, adjusting and calculating the distance and position of the inverted E flight.
The Q Hanying that landed at this moment is just at the right distance to pick up the passive skill on the spot!
Hidden Dragon Inca Hand.
With a 40% higher movement speed, Akali turned the sickle and rushed towards the crocodile with great momentum.
The attack range of both is [125] yards.
When Akali picks up the passive mark and Crocodile activates W, the attack distance will be the same at [225] yards.
The crocodile was hit by the edge of [Cold Shadow] and was slowed down by 50%. It has entered the pulling range and cannot retreat.
However, Chen Zebin did not activate W at the first time.
Because he saw that since Akali had already used inverted E, it was obvious that she wanted to come up and trick you into using W!
As long as Crocodile uses W, Akali will use the smoke of inverted E to turn around, so that W will enter the 16-second CD regardless of whether it is used or not.
And if Crocodile doesn't use W, Akali can also use the energy boost of Twilight Shroud and wait to launch another Q, making a big profit from the blood exchange!
Chen Zebin knew that he had to pull within distance first, then activate W and A in seconds, in order to gain the advantage of this blood exchange.
125 yards and 225 yards are truly "half a step difference".
But, for the top laner who has been fighting in close combat for years, this is like half a step into the chasm!
Chen Zebin's eyebrows were shaking as if he had been electrocuted. The mouse light was frantically moving back and forth between the two places, driving the crocodile and Akali to dance a "double tango".
One needs to close the distance to within 225 yards to use Red Rage W.
One must ensure that the distance is beyond 225 yards, but not too far to avoid being unable to fire the next Q.
Ye Bo found that the crocodile's knife did not change color and guessed what the other party was thinking.
His earlobes felt hot and moved slightly, and his attention was focused, as if he was instantly immersed in the Summoner's Rift, participating in the game between the Kunai Assassin and the Giant Axe Beast.
You advance and I retreat.
You retreat and I advance.
Advance together and retreat together.
At this moment, Akali seemed to turn back suddenly and take half a step further!
The crocodile seemed to respond synchronously and moved forward half a step, but then Akali's steps suddenly stopped—the S key was pressed for a very short moment!
The distance between the two sides suddenly narrowed and then widened.
Akali uses S+A to instantly cast [Hidden Dragon Seal A] while continuing to pull back, and then casts the third Q, Frost Shadow.
Akali undoubtedly won the first wave of tug-of-war!
The second wave started right after that!
This time, the White AQ has changed from a consumption to deceive W to a health loss that the crocodile must counterattack with W to accept.
Chen Zebin's breathing became rapid, but his fingers on the W key remained steady.
Akali once again relied on the movement speed of the ring to pick up the ring from the side and gain catch-up movement speed.
2234, do it again!
The original tango turned into a chase step, and the crocodile's pace became rapid, taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.
And Akali seemed to have taken equal steps.
This time, Chen Zebin felt that he had reached the distance, so he directly pressed W [Ruthless Hunting] and clicked on Akali to automatically search for the enemy!
However, Akali paused again in her second step forward.
The distance between the two sides was just a hair's breadth away from 225 yards!
But, it is that fine line that makes it impossible for the crocodile without E to hit the target!
Seeing the opponent's axe blade "turn red", Akali pressed Falcon Dance with satisfaction and flew back.
The audience cannot directly feel the game that takes place in just a few seconds.
In the eyes of the audience, it seemed that they could only see the crocodile "pacing back and forth" slightly stupidly - and then being beaten by Akali in vain!
This wave is equivalent to Crocodile only using White Rage EQ.
Akali used QA+QA+Q, plus the burst of Electric Shock, which was almost a full set!
The most intuitive health: Crocodile’s health suddenly dropped to 60%, but Akali still has 90%!
And the crocodile's red anger W was also tricked out!
It is impossible for Crocodile to waste rage by WA the minions, so he has to stand behind the line of soldiers for 5 more seconds, waiting for W to disappear before entering the 16-second CD.
Although Uzi in the second live broadcast room is not a top laner, he can naturally see the details and is very good at pulling.
And this wave, those who saw it couldn't help but exclaim in amazement in the live broadcast room!
"Fuck, Bin is so tired from this wave! He was slipped away by Akali!"
"To be honest, Ah Bin's pulling is definitely top-notch, but Ip Man's distance control is really good."
".Isn't it okay to be an anchor? Oh, that's really embarrassing. When an anchor was young, it must have been okay. That's what an anchor does!"
Seeing some doubts in the comments of the live broadcast room, Uzi made excuses anxiously.
[Oh? The anchor is so good at talking, why did he pull himself into the live broadcast room to do the commentary?]
[In this wave, the difference between junglers and players has been revealed. I just want to ask you where the jungler is! ]
[Pull and pull, miracle walker!]
[Do you understand the value of the unique skill of Kari? Xiaobin should be glad that he is a top laner, otherwise you are not much better than a stealer! ]
[Hehe, isn't it because the rubbish midlaner gave away kills that Akali got an extra pair of boots? Not fair, not fair! ]
[Come on, Brother Bin! You must lift up Ip Man's underwear for me! ]
Chen Zebin took a blood potion and stood in a daze behind the line of soldiers, waiting for W to wear off.
His face was filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that he was being "pulled".
As a person involved and also an Akali player, he knows best how terrifying this wave is.
In the first wave alone, the opponent was able to be so precise in laning that he used "Inverted E" to aim at the "Passive on the Spot" point, which was already quite difficult!
He understands the techniques and operations, but putting them into practice in actual combat is another matter entirely.
Just for this one move, what level of proficiency is required?
Not to mention the subsequent several body position tugs and games.
"Bin, should I come now?" Weiwei, who had just finished leveling up to level 4 in the lower zone, asked. "I don't know where the Ruined King is right now. He might be lurking in the back."
Theoretically, there is no reason for the Ruined King to be in the top half.
But considering Ye Bo's tactical position in EDG, BLG cannot rule out the possibility that the opponent will force their way up to defend, and cannot determine the direction.
"It's hard to catch them now, it's best to wait for the next wave. You can clear the opponent's upper jungle area first."
"In the middle, in the middle!"
Scout's voice suddenly came.
Sylas in the middle lane was originally suppressing the opponent easily and happily.
But at this time, the Ruined King suddenly came out from behind, and the originally wretched Nal used the second stage of E to jump into his face, changed his form in the air, landed on the ground, and slammed W to keep him!
Fortunately, although the Ruined King has good equipment, his level is too low and his damage is not high.
It seems that this wave is just here to consume Silas's blood.
However, soon after, the real purpose of EDG's top, mid and jungle coordination was revealed.
"The Ruined King successfully ganked in the middle lane and reduced the health of the enemy. He helped Gnar push the line into the tower, and then they entered their own jungle area together!"
"Akali made a beautiful blood exchange after switching lanes in the top lane! The top lane has a health advantage this time. If BLG wants to force a 3v3, EDG will definitely have a chance of winning this time!"
"Great! EDG used this lane swap to regain control of the upper jungle area!"
If things develop normally, there will be no chance for Akali to be caught in the top lane, and Sylas in the middle will definitely not give any chance.
This 3v3 in the upper half should have no chance of winning.
Once Piglet continues to invade the refreshed upper red zone, the situation of exchanging half zones can be maintained, and EDG's top lane will still be equivalent to exposing its back.
However, there was a one-sided suppression and blood exchange in the top lane, coupled with a successful gank in the middle lane at the same time.
A wave of coordination between the top, mid and jungle areas seized the opportunity to refresh the top and jungle areas!
BLG's top and mid laners were unable to provide support in the first place, and Sejuani had no choice but to move to her own bottom lane.
The jungle information became unknown again, and the junglers of both sides once again shared half of the area.
And BLG was able to continue to "unilaterally" attack the core of the top lane.
It has been destroyed by Akali alone!
