Chapter 50: Half Hp On Sight!
The speed of the bullet comments scrolling at this moment is even more exaggerated than when Li Fan came up.
It’s mainly EDG fans who, when seeing Li Fan come up, still held a sliver of hope.
What if it’s a tactical arrangement?
After all, in such an important match, making this substitution without careful thought—if EDG loses again, it’ll be five consecutive losses.
Their current record would be unwatchable, and losing would really drop them from second place to third.
At this trend, they’re really done for!
And then you pull out a mid lane Lucian?
You’d say it’s not match-fixing and no one would believe it—this is deliberately coming up to throw, right?
Where does this lineup even have any AP damage? It’s not all relying on Kog’Maw’s percentage damage, is it?
The picked lineup is truly heaven-defying; this coach is getting more and more absurd.
The lineup picked at the start of the season was still somewhat passable, but now it’s just what the hell—completely incomprehensible. Since it’s incomprehensible, they can only vent by cursing in the live stream room.
Not cursing won’t do; they can’t vent the hatred in their hearts at all.
【？？？？？】
【Classic lab experiment? Mid lane Lucian… Treating the match like a ranked match? Interesting.】
【EDG looks rotten to the core already; last year’s World Championship relied entirely on the Korean double C, this year it’s even more absurd—I bet they won’t even make the playoffs and will have to fight relegation matches】
【This Unreal really gets the absurd stuff; he knows EDG is beyond saving and comes up playing fancy!】
【Republic’s Syndra isn’t weak; isn’t this Lucian going to get pushed hard?】
【Sitting here waiting for Lucian to feed hard, EDG five consecutive losses!】
【Unreal, go for it—first time watching Unreal play League of Legends…】
【Charge charge charge; I want to see what it’s like when you, who always makes everyone believe you’re a professional League player, perform on the arena.】
Among them, there are also quite a few little fans supporting Li Fan.
Mainly, Huya official knows how to maximize the hype by adding a few words right in front of the match.
Unreal appearance…
Immediately attracting a large number of Li Fan fans.
After all, Li Fan was required to go to the arena, so no one was streaming; those used to Huya Live like hanging out in this channel.
Seeing this news upon browsing, they naturally excitedly clicked into the live stream room.
Seeing Li Fan’s face in the bottom right corner, a familiar feeling washed over them.
【Braindead fans get out; the atmosphere of professional League of Legends is ruined by you braindead fans.】
【LoL Dog is mad again; it’s just one match, why take it so seriously? Everyone’s just watching for fun, right?】
At the same time, both coaches arrived at the center of the stage to shake hands.
The director also panned the camera over the player seats.
Miller looked at both lineups on the big screen and began his analysis.
Of course, mainly based on the mid lane Lucian.
Talking about anything else doesn’t mean much, because it’s obvious this match will be decided in mid lane.
“Mid lane Lucian is indeed extremely rare; we all know Lucian is an ADC who’s extremely strong in the early to mid game. Putting him in mid lane should be pursuing ultimate dominance in lane.”
“But the risk is also very high; once no advantage is gained early, his mid to late game impact definitely won’t be as strong as a traditional mage.”
“And GT’s jungler is Rengar!” Wa Wa pointed out the key, “Lucian’s E skill has a very long cooldown at level 1; walking to the mid lane, he’s practically Rengar’s ideal ATM.”
Wa Wa’s words got everyone’s agreement.
“Alright, the match begins… Let’s see what kind of performance this Lucian will have.” Rita looked at Li Fan’s handsome face and felt quite favorable; in the esports circle, there are plenty of ugly mugs after all—it’s a place where strength speaks, not appearance for starting spots.
Li Fan here quickly bought gear—Doran’s Blade and one red potion—then headed out from the spring.
Summoner spells are Ignite and Flash.
Mainly because the enemy lineup has no hard CC, and he’s not a bot lane ADC; he has enough experience in mid lane, plus he’s confident in himself.
Scout watched the big screen expressionlessly from backstage; he now wanted to see the moment the match ended, the moment EDG’s base exploded.
To let them know that choosing to bench him was a super wrong decision.
Both sides in serpentine formation defensive positioning.
Clearlove at the bottom river position saw Li Fan’s Lucian walk straight up, looking like he’s planning to harass the enemy; his brows furrowed, just about to say play safe, but before the words left his mouth, he saw Lucian sidestep directly dodging Syndra’s Q skill, then quickly slide forward and auto attack!
Republic’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
So aggressive?
Lucian’s E skill at level 1 has an 18-second cooldown; even with passive CDR cutting off 4 seconds, it’s still 14 seconds!
Syndra’s Q skill is one every 4 seconds; this one had already cooled halfway.
Without a hint of caution, he followed up with an auto attack.
Mages and marksmen trading autos is stupid late game, but early game the gap isn’t that big.
Once follow-up skill damage lands, he’s the one profiting.
Li Fan raised his hand for another auto attack, directly triggering Thunder.
Smack!
Syndra lost 160 health from this combo.
The next second, as if knowing what Syndra wanted to do, he did a small sidestep downward, directly dodging the opponent’s second cooled Q skill, then raised his hand for another auto attack.
In just a few seconds of trading, full-health Syndra’s health was directly dropped by over 200—this was nearly half health.
Seeing the situation was off, Syndra finally retreated, but took another shot from behind, dropping straight to half health.
Backstage, Abu and Kuaisu Xing were stunned, then looked shocked.
What happened?
Did Syndra lose this much health?
Abu jumped up from his seat excitedly the next second.
“Nice, nice… See, you were right; keep losing matches and you can’t find the reason, so you have to make a sub.”
Kuaisu Xing nodded woodenly.
Holy shit, Li Fan is this good?
At the same time, Miller’s shocked voice came from the big screen.
“My god, this suppression from Unreal is insanely aggressive! This health… he has to pop a blood vial; recalling now would lose too much.”
Because the minion wave was already out; going back now would lose a ton.
Republic had no choice but to drink both potions.
At this moment, he already felt something was off.
The enemy’s combo flowed smoothly without any wasted movement.
If that’s noob level, then what is he?
After all, as a professional player, the instant they traded, he knew the opponent’s level.
Clearly a comfortable temperature, but beads of sweat slid down from Republic’s forehead.
