Chapter 289 The Strongest in Asia!
After completing the solo kill, Li Yi looked calm, as if the thrilling laning fight just now was just a daily practice.
He quickly adjusted his state, controlled Rambo, and calmly turned back to continue dealing with the military line.
The flamethrower in Rambo's hand spewed flames accurately, and each attack was just right, killing the soldiers one by one.
In between last-hitting, Li Yi would glance at the small map from time to time, always paying attention to the movements of the enemy jungler to avoid being ganked.
Soon, he easily cleared a wave of soldiers.
As the last soldier fell, Li Yi did not hesitate at all and controlled Rambo to return to the city directly.
The moment he returned to the city and read the bar, his eyes fell on the money amount in the lower right corner of the screen. One thousand seven hundred yuan, this was the result of his wonderful laning in the early stage.
After returning to the fountain, Li Yi skillfully opened the store interface and chose to buy magic penetration shoes without hesitation.
For Rambo, the spell penetration attribute provided by the magic penetration shoes can greatly increase the damage during the laning phase.
Especially when facing a hero with relatively poor mobility like Noxus, even if he has sprint, as long as you have the W and E skills in your hands, you are sure to keep Noxus away.
Li Yi knew clearly that as long as the magic penetration shoes were made, the next laning in the middle lane would almost be over.
With the spell penetration bonus of the magic penetration shoes, you will have more advantages in skill damage, and Noxus will be more difficult to deal with when laning.
Coupled with his flexible operation and precise control of skills, it is simply a fantasy for Noxus to take advantage of him.
Use the remaining money to buy a killing ring and a true eye.
After purchasing the equipment, Li Yi controlled Rambo to quickly run to the middle lane, ready to start the next round of laning suppression and completely control the rhythm of the game.
The flaws of their lineup are also very obvious. If they have an advantage, they should end the game as quickly as possible and not let it drag on for too long.
When Li Yi controlled Rambo to come back online, the atmosphere of the entire Summoner's Rift changed quietly, and the game became completely different.
As soon as he returned to the line, Li Yi did not slack off at all. Relying on his rich game experience and accurate judgment of the situation, he quickly set up vision at key positions.
This vision allows him to keep track of every move of the enemy, providing strong protection for his subsequent laning and support.
After arranging the vision, Li Yi began to show strong laning suppression ability, methodically controlling Noxus to stand on the side of the line of soldiers.
At this moment, he was playing with his opponent in the palm of his hand.
The time came to 5 minutes and 25 seconds. Li Yi seized the opportunity and decisively pressed the E skill. A current of electricity carrying powerful energy shot towards Noxus.
This long-range surprise attack was a carefully calculated means of consumption. However, Kuro showed a rare reaction this time. With a clever move, he actually avoided the fatal blow and made Li Yi's skill fail.
However, this little episode did not affect Li Yi's mentality. He looked calm, and the confidence and composure in his eyes made people feel at ease. He knew very well that a miss of a skill could not change anything. It was just a small ripple in a long laning confrontation.
Just 6 seconds later, at 5 minutes and 31 seconds, signals of fierce battle came from the upper half of the map, and Scorpion and Nightmare met on a narrow road.
Li Yi did not hesitate at all, and directly activated the W skill, accelerating towards Noxus, with a momentum that seemed to crush him directly.
At this time, Rambo's damage has been greatly improved because he has magic penetration shoes.
Li Yi knew clearly that as long as the burning effect of the Q skill was maximized, even if Noxus hit him with the Q skill, he would never be his opponent.
Under Li Yi's smooth operation, Noxus was like a headless fly, being led by him by the nose.
Rambo's flamethrower continuously spewed out scorching flames, accurately hitting Noxus again and again. Kuro's Noxus could only flee in a panic under this fierce attack, without any ability to fight back. He became a top-level "spinning top" in Li Yi's hands and was whipped at will.
Kuro controlled Noxus, and the expression on his face gradually became distorted as his skills failed.
The crucial E skill was wasted. At this critical moment of laning, it was like having the blade of counterattack cut off, and the confidence to fight back was instantly lost.
He watched helplessly as Noxus's health on the screen dropped rapidly like a river bursting its dam, from full health to only half health in an instant.
Looking at Rambo on the opposite side, he had only lost a tiny layer of blood. The sharp contrast made him feel unwilling and annoyed.
At this moment, all of Noxus's skills were ineffective, and except for the soldiers who helped consume some of Rambo's health in the chaos, he himself couldn't even touch Rambo at all.
This scene was exactly the same as the one he had just been killed by. It was like copy and paste. The only difference was that he was in the active attacking position in the previous wave, but this time, he was completely reduced to the passive one. He gave away the first blood impulsively, and now, he almost didn't even have the chance to fight back.
Before, he could still rely on skills and positioning to barely maneuver in the laning phase, and retained some illusion of advantage, but now, this pitiful advantage has completely disappeared.
"Shit!" Kuro couldn't help but curse in a low voice, the anger and frustration in his heart were like a blazing fire. He couldn't understand why this man had to bring these warrior heroes to the game, a good mid lane that should be a stage for traditional mages to show off their skills and awareness.
The unique skill mechanism and laning rhythm of the warrior hero are very different from those of the traditional mage, which makes it difficult for him to adapt for a while. It is as if he is groping in the dark and can never find a way out.
"Shit!" He cursed again, his heart full of helplessness about the current situation and worry about the future.
If this trend continues, and the mid lane is dominated by these weird warrior heroes, he knows very well that it will be difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in this position. The prospects of his career seem to become bleak, shrouded in a thick haze.
Kuro's face was solemn and he was under tremendous pressure. He could only control Noxus to retreat back to the defensive tower in embarrassment.
At this time, the middle lane had been completely controlled by Li Yi's Rambo. Noxus could not find any chance to counterattack at all. He could only tremble under the tower and watch Rambo act recklessly.
At 6 minutes and 37 seconds, a sudden noise broke out from the audience in Dalian. It turned out that in the top lane of the game, the barrel controlled by Spirit was quietly circling behind and preparing to catch up.
The Sword Demon controlled by kiin also quickly approached, raised his hand and threw out the W skill, followed by a Q skill.
The attention of the Sword Master controlled by Cheng Lu was completely attracted by the Gragas who suddenly appeared from behind, and for a moment she was unable to notice the attack of the Sword Demon.
However, he reacted quickly and pressed the W skill in time, successfully blocking the Q skill of the Sword Demon!
However, the skills of the Sword Demon were closely connected, and the Sword Girl was still pulled over by the Sword Demon's pulling skill.
Spirit controlled the Barrel, raised his hand and used the Q skill without hesitation, and then slammed towards the Fiora with his round belly!
Under the crazy output of Gragas and Aatrox, Cheng Lu's Fiora was completely unable to resist and could only surrender her head helplessly.
Before Kiin had time to be happy about getting the kill, he saw Kuro's frantic marking signals on the minimap, and at the same time, the nervous voices of his teammates were heard over the team voice.
"Rambo is coming! Rambo is coming!"
The top and jungle players of AFs, namely the Aatrox controlled by Kiin and the Gragas controlled by Spirit, instantly showed a look of fear on their faces after receiving the prompt from Kuro, "Rambo is coming! Rambo is coming!" They did not dare to delay for even a moment and quickly fled to the back in panic.
However, their current position had already crossed the center line, and the GT team had carefully planned an encirclement and suppression operation against the top lane Sword Demon from the very beginning.
The gears of fate meshed precisely, and the timing was just right!
Just as AFs' top and jungle tried to escape, Li Yi seized the opportunity and decisively used Rambo's ultimate move.
In an instant, a wall of scorching flames appeared in front of the two of them and fell perfectly. The Sword Demon and the Barrel were slowed down and unable to move.
Such an exquisite ultimate move instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue. The audience in Dalian stood up and burst into deafening cheers and exclamations. Then, the male gun quickly stepped forward with a flexible slide, raised his hand and released the W skill, and the cloud of smoke accurately hit the sword demon and the barrel, making their already difficult escape steps even heavier and slower.
The two were burned by Rambo's ultimate move for another second, and their health dropped sharply.
Li Yi seized the opportunity, raised his hand and threw out the harpoon, directly killing the Sword Demon whose health was in danger.
Seeing this, Wine Barrel tried his best to run away, and his speed was not slow.
But how could Li Yi and the male gunner let him go so easily? They chased him relentlessly all the way.
In the end, Gragas still couldn't escape his fate in front of the defensive tower and surrendered his kill. This kill was taken by Graves. After all, for the mid and jungle brothers who have a tacit understanding, no matter who gets the kill, it will be a win. Their damage is off the charts and they are fully capable of carrying the whole game.
Watching this dramatic scene before their eyes, the Korean audiences were all shocked.
I thought the AFs team had finally launched a counterattack and saw hope of reversing the situation, but in the end they gave away three kills in vain!
Everyone thought to themselves that, in the final analysis, it was because they couldn't hold out in the middle lane, otherwise how could the opponent be so relaxed and comfortable, and immediately provide roaming support and control the overall situation...
The atmosphere at the game was so depressing that it made people breathless, but the anger of the Korean audience was burning fiercely.
Looking at the poor performance of the AFs team on the field, they were filled with resentment and anger.
[No, why did they send AFs to participate? Aren't KZ and SKT much more reliable than AFs? ]
A Korean netizen angrily posted on an e-sports forum, "AFs' performance is simply shameful. Do they really think they can create a miracle?"
The post quickly attracted a large number of responses.
[This team is so bad that it is unacceptable! That Noxus played so badly, where did he get the courage to pick this hero? He was treated like a weakling by the opponent, Kuro is completely useless, his operation is simply a disaster! ]
Another netizen posted a comment, expressing disappointment and criticism towards the team.
[If we had known that AFs was at this level, we might as well have let KZ or SKT play, at least they would still have a fighting chance. AFs' performance today simply brought shame to the Korean e-sports community! ] Another netizen left a comment, full of regret.
[Forget it, SKT is just a hopeless case. They could only steal a championship before GT came out, but now that GT is here, they are just a toy. ]
For a time, all major e-sports forums and social platforms in South Korea were filled with criticism and abuse against the AFs team. The anger quickly spread among Korean netizens and could not be quelled for a long time.
Although Korean netizens are arguing heatedly on forums and social platforms, with fierce posts flying like snowflakes, the progress of the game will not be reversed in the slightest because of the online noise.
The time quietly came to seven minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and the situation on the field suddenly became more tense and exciting.
Li Yi's Rambo and the male gun cooperated perfectly, and the two decisively launched a tower-crossing killing. Rambo held a flamethrower, and the hot flames gushed out, illuminating the defense tower where Noxus was.
Under this fierce attack, Noxus was caught in a dilemma and could not find any way to escape.
Kuro's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands were frantically operating the keyboard and mouse, trying to save Noxus's fate, but everything was in vain.
As Rambo's last flamethrower hit the target accurately, Noxus's health dropped to zero and the screen turned black and white.
The sound effects of "Massive Kill" instantly resounded throughout the Dalian venue, and the passionate melody ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
The audience could no longer contain their excitement and they screamed and shouted excitedly, with the sound getting louder and louder.
In the blink of an eye, it was nine minutes. Li Yi keenly caught the opportunity in the bottom lane and controlled Rambo to roam to the bottom lane without hesitation.
At this time, the enemy's bottom lane duo was fighting hard with Lin Weixiang's AD and had no idea that danger was coming.
Li Yi seized the opportunity, and the flamethrower in Rambo's hand instantly spewed out hot flames, covering the two enemies.
The two enemies in the bottom lane were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and in their panic they used their skills in a disorderly manner.
Lin Weixiang seized the opportunity, controlled the AD to output accurately, and cooperated with Rambo's damage to successfully achieve a double kill.
After getting a double kill, Li Yi and his teammates turned their attention to the little dragon.
With the tacit cooperation of everyone, the little dragon was quickly captured.
The soul of the killed little dragon was enslaved by Tienan, and the soul began to constantly inhale and exhale dragon breath, as if venting its unwillingness.
With the help of the little dragon, the GT team was in high spirits and quickly gathered their forces to advance towards the middle lane tower.
Facing the aggressive GT team, AFs team's defense seemed vulnerable and the middle lane tower was soon lost.
However, the GT team was not satisfied with this.
They took advantage of the victory and started a team battle with AFs team in the river for the Rift Herald.
With excellent operations and teamwork, the GT team successfully captured the Rift Herald.
Li Yi and his teammates took the Rift Herald and launched an attack on the middle lane again.
Under the fierce attack of the Rift Herald, AFs team's second tower in the middle lane failed to hold on and collapsed.
In just eleven minutes, the GT team expanded its economic advantage to four thousand with wave after wave of brilliant operations.
At this moment, the audience in the entire Dalian venue was shocked by the wonderful performance of the GT team. The cheers and shouts intertwined together, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the venue.
The AFs team was in great trouble. The players' faces were filled with solemnity and frustration. Facing the powerful offensive of the GT team, they seemed a little overwhelmed.
21 minutes later, the situation in the canyon changed dramatically. Li Yi's Rambo was like a god of war, with the flamethrower in his hand spewing deadly flames.
After a fierce battle, the scene of Rambo getting a quad kill instantly filled the entire screen.
The audience could no longer suppress their excitement; their emotions completely exploded and they shouted at the top of their lungs: "We are the champions again!" The sound was deafening, one wave higher than the other, as if it was going to break through the dome of the stadium.
The GT team, which got a quad kill, was in high spirits. They pressed on with their victory and quickly assembled to head towards the Baron pit, where they took down the Baron.
With the Baron buff, they were unstoppable and crushed their opponents in every direction.
Faced with this powerful offensive, the AFs team's defense collapsed instantly and they were completely unable to resist.
The moment AFs crystal exploded, it marked the end of the game.
The three commentators in the commentary booth were also dancing with excitement. Wang Duoduo's voice was trembling slightly with excitement: "Congratulations to GT! Congratulations to LPL! We are the champions of the Intercontinental Championship, the strongest in Asia!" (End of this chapter)
