Chapter 55: We’ve Been Set Up By Capital!
“Come on! Come on! We’ve already won one match! I believe you guys can do it. Even though everyone says we’re weak, are we really weak?” Li Jiongjun patted republie.
republie heard the coach say that and felt it made sense.
He thought about the laning situation in the previous match again, and it seemed a bit off.
Then he suddenly thought of a key point.
In the match they won, the mid laner was Scout, and his Card didn’t put much pressure on him, but in the second match, everyone said Unreal was a noob, yet as soon as they went online, the lane collapsed—that was unimaginable laning pressure.
Third match… could it really go as the coach thought?
republie sat in his seat with doubts.
Because he was the person involved, he always felt Unreal wasn’t as simple as imagined.
Ten minutes later, the staff knocked on the door of both teams’ lounges again.
This time, as Abu watched the players leave the lounge, it was the first time in a long while that he felt completely relaxed.
Third match, both teams swapped sides, EDG went to blue side, and GT went to red side.
“EDG’s BP on blue side this game has changed quite a bit, directly releasing Rumble. Normally against GT, they wouldn’t let Rumble this hero go.”
“Yes, Jin Gong’s Rumble is still very strong.”
“GT banned Lucian, looks like the mid laner Lucian from the previous game really put a lot of pressure, but releasing LeBlanc like this—Unreal has Zitai backing him up, I think he uses LeBlanc this hero very well.”
“His performance in the previous game was extremely standout…”
“Maokai? EDG still picks Maokai first?”
“But Maokai’s role is indeed very strong, whether in team fights or 1v1 laning, it has extremely high stability.”
This version Maokai hasn’t been reworked yet, its appearance rate has always been high, but once the playoffs version changes Maokai’s ultimate skill, the top lane resilience king’s position changes hands directly.
Mainly because of this ultimate skill, rolling up is really too slow, by the time the ultimate skill passes, people have run far away, in which case Maokai’s ultimate skill doesn’t have much meaning.
Compared to Galio and Cho’Gath, it’s really far behind.
But Riot Games is also trying to change the top lane meta.
After all, Maokai this hero has had very high appearance rates for two consecutive years… it’s a bit meta-distorting.
“Rumble! Sure enough, GT still trusts top lane, you release Rumble and I’ll take it!”
Then they helped Wushuang select Lee Sin, which is his signature hero.
Everyone originally thought that EDG would take advantage of Li Fan being hot-handed to pick an aggressive hero like LeBlanc, but unexpectedly they locked in Lulu.
What the hell?
Top laner is so hot, in such good state, and you give him Lulu against Unreal?
EDG fans in the live stream room completely exploded.
They all attacked Kuaisu Xing, questioning what the hell he was doing in BP, why so absurd?
This game directly turns mid lane into support?
Of course, while saying these things, they selectively forgot how they cursed when EDG subbed Li Fan in the previous game.
Kuaisu Xing’s face was very serious as he patted Li Fan, telling him to play well this game, but inside he was laughing his head off.
How could LeBlanc be given to you?
You should just take Lulu and farm safely in mid lane.
Later when mid lane naturally has one less person…
However, when he returned to the backstage and started watching this match, the excitement of his scheme succeeding completely vanished.
Damn it!
How is this possible!
Meanwhile, Abu was excitedly shouting on the side.
“Beautiful! Too beautiful! This is perfect mid-jungle cooperation.”
“The Lulu and Olaf combo is just this reckless, Kuaisu Xing your BP is pretty good.”
The bullet comments in the live stream room at this time were exactly the same as what Abu shouted.
【Wrong, wrong, this is simply the hand of god, Clearlove’s Olaf is slashing so refreshingly.】
【Having a mid laner Lulu like this is really invincible.】
【My god, I apologize to Kuaisu Xing, I apologize to Unreal, I actually didn’t believe in him just now.】
“Early laning ideas are very clear, easily gaining lane priority.”
“Whether it’s the release angles of various skills, they’re all perfect. Unreal has really exceeded my expectations this time; he not only plays aggressive heroes well, but even functional mid laners are very viable.”
Actually, from the three-minute mark in game time, republie was pinned under the turret and couldn’t lane at all.
Then Clearlove at four minutes dove and killed over the tower, slowly snowballing the advantage.
Continuously dove and killed twice over the tower, mid lane exploded again.
Wushuang saw this situation and decisively gave up helping mid, heading straight to top lane.
Help the winning lane not the losing one, especially since Jin Gong is the team’s big brother anyway, helping top lane is no problem, and maybe relying on top lane’s Rumble there’s still a chance.
This is essential for a jungler player.
If you see mid collapsing and keep trying to turn it around, this game is basically over.
It would be good to successfully go top and get Maokai’s kill, relieving team pressure.
The match reached ten minutes eleven seconds.
Lulu coordinated with Olaf to catch a 4v2 bot, just as Wushuang’s Lee Sin was in bot half.
In this situation, Rumble immediately used Teleport to support, mouse was suppressed but he knew to win the match they needed teammates, so he also Teleported right away.
This made bot lane immediately very chaotic.
But GT had a very fatal point: Viktor couldn’t make it in time.
Continuously dove and killed twice over the tower led to the minion wave not daring to push at all, no capital to push.
If dove and killed over the tower again, it’d be over?
Although Viktor was heading bot at this time, bot lane had already started fighting!
Five versus four!
Plus mid laner Lulu’s support, it was one-sided.
Because Rumble’s damage wasn’t enough to reduce EDG’s numbers immediately.
zet’s Ashe outputted wildly under various protections, of course early damage definitely can’t compare to Olaf.
By the time Viktor reached bot, the team fight was nearly over.
Olaf got two kills in this wave, Li Fan’s Lulu also got an assist.
GT only had Lee Sin participating and fleeing in panic, barely escaping.
Zero for three!
GT bot turret directly pushed, and they lost the dragon too.
Li Fan at thirteen minutes, with Lulu’s better development and higher damage, completed a solo kill matchup, at this point republie staring at the black and white screen didn’t know what he was thinking.
After all, getting solo killed by Lulu… is also an achievement.
At 24 minutes 37 seconds, EDG took Baron Nashor and started operations.
At 25 minutes 54 seconds, GT’s three high ground turrets were pushed.
Next, with three-lane minion waves, GT had no resistance at all and was directly ended in one wave!
At the moment the base exploded, Li Jiongjun angrily tore up Li Fan’s rank record on the table!
Releasing LeBlanc and not picking it, how could that be real?
Clearly this was EDG’s smoke grenade!
Their GT was set up by Perfect World!
