Chapter 38
Faker got completely destroyed by Xiangguo!
"Alright, the match officially begins! We can see that EDG's start is very conservative, with Lee Sin choosing the standard red buff start."
Guan Zeyuan stared intently at the mini-map.
"But Mlxg made a move! Rengar, along with Twitch, Braum, and Taliyah, is going to force their way into the red buff area!"
"A top-tier regiment!"
Lin Xiu remained unusually calm in the voice chat. He didn't immediately go to the blue zone, but instead directed the entire team:
"Zet, Meiko, help me hit the red buff first."
"Brother Li, let's fight F6 together."
"I'm going to speedrun this round, so you guys need to sacrifice a little in the early game."
However, accidents often happen in an instant.
Just as the bot lane duo started attacking the red buff, four burly men suddenly emerged from the bushes.
Ming's Braum took the lead, using his Q skill Winter's Bite to pierce through the gaps in the bushes.
"They're here, four of them!" Meiko shouted.
In a split second, Zyra used her Q skill to summon a plant, and the blooming petal barely blocked Braum's Q skill.
If the slow effect is applied this time, Ice will definitely die.
"Retreat! Bottom lane, head back to lane immediately!"
Lin Xiu roared.
The bot lane duo didn't dare linger and immediately backed away.
But RNG's invasion was clearly not going to end like this, and the four of them continued towards the F6 position.
Lin Xiu's expression darkened, and he immediately used Smite to take down the big bird in F6, and then used E skill to kill the small bird.
A golden light shone above the Blind Monk's head, and he leveled up to level two!
The Rengar used Flash, and the damage was immediately applied to Karma.
With Taliyah's Q skill, Karma's health bar is almost empty.
Faker had no choice but to use Flash and leave the jungle to recall.
"My God! That level 1 team fight was absolutely brutal!"
Remember to shout it out.
"Although Lin Xiu managed to reach level two by using Smite on the giant bird, Faker had to use Flash and return to base, resulting in a loss of minions!"
Guan Zeyuan shook his head:
"However, RNG is in a difficult position now. They didn't get any kills, and Rengar absolutely needs to get that red buff."
"But we're afraid that a level 2 Lee Sin might suddenly turn around and kill us, so the bot lane duo has to help us take the red buff, which means we'll be three minions slower when we get back to lane."
"But the biggest gain from this was Faker's Flash. Without Flash, Karma faced a nightmare against Rengar and Taliyah."
Lin Xiu ignored the rest of the battle and went straight into RNG's red buff area.
Since you've turned against me, then I'll turn against you in return.
Taking advantage of his level two strength, he secured the red buff in RNG's jungle and also easily cleared the F6 camp and the Krugs.
The jungle economy is slightly ahead.
[EDG really benefited from this! They're even leading economically!]
What's so great about a lead of a hundred or two? Do you even watch the game?
[A flash in the mid lane is worth more than 200 gold. Let's wait and see how EDG's mid lane gets crushed.]
The predictions made in the comments came true a few minutes later.
The Lee Sin has reached level four and is looking for an opportunity in the top lane.
Mlxg's Rengar, after clearing his own blue buff area, went straight to the bottom lane bush to ambush.
"Little Tiger, get ready to lift," Mlxg growled in a low voice over the phone.
In the mid lane, Karma, without Flash, cautiously farmed minions under the tower.
Suddenly, a poodle emerged from the bushes and threw its hunting net, trapping it.
The Rock Sparrow's stone-scattering formation and control of the soil-rock interface,
Karma had little chance to resist and was killed.
"First Blood!"
The first blood was born, belonging to Little Tiger.
"Mlxg! This is Mlxg's rhythm!"
Guan Zeyuan excitedly slammed his hand on the table.
"He doesn't care about the jungle at all. He doesn't care about losing a little bit in the jungle. He just keeps targeting you, the mid laner who doesn't have Flash."
"Faker's movement just now was too cautious, which made him seem hesitant and timid."
Just one minute later, Lin Xiu had just helped Titan get Gragas back to base in the top lane when bad news came from the mid lane again.
Karma, who had just respawned and returned to lane, had only managed to farm a few minions and hadn't even reached the second wave of minions yet.
She was lifted back by Taliyah's Blink and Rock Slash.
The Rengar, who hadn't recalled, pounced to finish off the remaining damage.
Karma fell to the ground again.
Karma died twice in just one minute.
"It's collapsed! It's completely collapsed!"
I remember closing my eyes because I couldn't bear to look at it.
"Two kills in the mid lane, Taliyah took off, Faker is sitting there now, I feel like he's about to cry."
The camera focused on Faker, whose pale face was filled with despair, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were red.
"Why, why is it still like this?" Faker cried out in his heart.
"I'm really not good enough. I'm not worthy of playing in the decisive game. RNG is ultimately invincible."
His hands were shaking more than ever before, and he could barely even find the keys on the keyboard.
[Besides Galio, what other games can he play? How is his feeding in these two plays any different from what Bronze players do?]
[Abu really has to take the blame for this; why did he bench Scout and watch this guy perform?]
[Lin Xiu is also useless. The jungler was dragged down and killed by the mid laner. We can surrender this game.]
In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan sighed:
"This is a complete stomp. Any initial ripples seem so insignificant in the face of absolute strength."
"Faker's mental defenses have completely collapsed. I think he doesn't even dare to last-hit minions now."
Inside EDG's rest room, Abu was almost fainting from anger.
"This guy, Li, is so careless! He's trying to last-hit under the tower without Flash!"
He stared intently at the screen, holding a nitroglycerin tablet in his hand.
Scout remained seated, this time his eyes held no mockery, only a deep sorrow.
So, you can't do it either?
Just when everyone thought EDG was about to announce a break, a calm and cold voice came through the voice channel.
"Lee Sang-hyeok, listen to me carefully."
Lin Xiu's tone offered no comfort; instead, it carried an almost commanding sternness.
"I just said, you're a Sand Soldier."
"Sand Soldiers don't need to look at their KDA, nor do they need to look at those two damn kills. They're what I owe you, and I'll get them back for you."
"Listen, buy wards, get ready to invade the enemy top lane jungle with me."
"The Titan has lane priority this wave; if we go in and catch the Lee Sin, it's a guaranteed kill."
"As long as you aim your Q skill accurately and use your E skill on the right person, you'll be fine. Can you do that?"
Faker was stunned. In that instant, Lin Xiu's domineering will forcefully squeezed into his brain.
"Yes... I can do it," he answered instinctively.
"Then get moving! Don't stand there looking like you've already lost; this is just the beginning!"
After Lin Xiu's Lee Sin showed up in the top lane, instead of returning to his own bottom jungle to farm as was the normal strategy, he went directly to RNG's top jungle.
That will be a battle between junglers.
"Zeyuan, look! Lin Xiu has moved! He's invaded, he's about to take control!"
"However, Taliyah already has her ultimate ready and can come at any time. Gragas may have lost some experience, but he can still come if he ignores his lane. Can EDG really win?"
