Chapter 71: This Is A Bug! It’s A Bug!
Wu Zhuang Tai, under pressure, drinks the last bottle of potion here.
Then, looking at the LeBlanc arrogantly in front of him, he takes a deep breath and starts reviewing what exactly happened in the level 1 trade.
Feeling like everything didn’t go according to his idea.
To the point where now he’s pinned in front of the turret, and even trying to get out is a bit difficult.
The opponent’s shitty luck positioning, two Q skills missed, which buried a huge foreshadowing here, otherwise the health difference wouldn’t be so massive.
He drank both bottles of potion himself, yet the opponent hasn’t even drunk one.
And also, what the hell are these ranged minions doing? Why aren’t they attacking LeBlanc…
Normally in this situation, if they crossed the minion wave to auto attack him, everything would go smoothly and the opponent wouldn’t be able to match the wave at all.
What’s going on?
Why aren’t the minions attacking him!
Wu Zhuang Tai’s mind is full of doubts, but no one is there to help him figure it out.
He can only stare dead at the LeBlanc pinning his position.
Looking at this, he can only wait for the second minion wave to arrive.
If the opponent’s health dares to play that aggressively, it’s purely asking to die.
But as the second minion wave arrives, the opponent’s LeBlanc still doesn’t give an inch.
She even proactively steps up again!
Repeating the same trick and pulling back…
Again under the pressure of LeBlanc reaching level 2, he decisively retreats backward.
Wu Zhuang Tai feels his face burning hot, thinking of the Weibo posts, Li Fan’s live stream comment about ordering food on him, now he’s getting a bit anxious.
The opponent also missed last hits, but zero last hits against the opponent’s five directly shows the difference.
100,000 Volts glances at mid lane and can’t help saying: “Cool, be careful, your health is too low, maybe just recall.”
After saying this, 100,000 Volts regrets it a bit.
From cooperating with Wu Zhuang Tai during this time, he knows what kind of personality he has.
If you don’t say anything, he generally won’t go against it, but if you do say something, it’s definitely the opposite, he’ll do the reverse.
He has rebellious psychology, a contrarian personality.
“I know, I have it under control.” The laning phase wasn’t going well to begin with, and now he’s even being taught how to play the game by the jungler.
He was originally thinking maybe just recall to recover state, then find an opportunity later.
But now it seems unnecessary…
The opponent likes to show off, hasn’t drunk potion even now, relying on the extra health from level 2 to dance around here.
For him, it’s indeed an opportunity.
If he can solo kill directly, not only can he vent his anger, but also make up the economy difference.
But the moment he’s thinking of solo killing Li Fan, that’s exactly when he gives the opportunity!
Li Fan directly makes a move this time, first W skill step.
Wu Zhuang Tai finally lands Q skill on LeBlanc.
But before he can be happy, LeBlanc’s auto attack goes out, Q skill thrown to trigger Thunder while also breaking the passive mark!
“It’s just Mirror Flower Water Moon!”
This burst of damage instantly takes out Syndra who only had 150 health left.
“First blood!”
LeBlanc shifts back to her original position, if not for the already fallen Syndra, everyone would think nothing happened!
“Dead!!!”
“Unreal solo kills Wu Zhuang Tai! The confidence Unreal shows is real, he keeps his health at an ambiguous line but just doesn’t drink potion, to some extent LeBlanc’s low health affects Wu Zhuang Tai’s judgment.”
Ji De praises: “Unreal from level 1 trading to the kill, completely suppresses Wu Zhuang Tai, doesn’t give him a single breath, then strikes fast, accurate, and ruthless, the timing grasp is simply too good.”
“Right, what just happened reminds me of the previous game against Republic, that game he picked Lucian and did the same, level 2 direct tower dive kill, this time it’s actually similar.” Su Xiao Yan specially reviewed EDG and GT’s matches before commentating this match.
So she’s deeply impressed by Li Fan’s performance in the match.
……
As for the live stream room, even more people are shocked.
Trash players still have levels, at least in many people’s view, Wu Zhuang Tai is still much stronger than Republic.
As for Unreal, he’s just a sewer mid laner.
Putting him as starter today, maybe it’s really backing him to clap back at Wu Zhuang Tai.
Even if they lose, EDG is confident to come back in the next two games.
But what happened now completely caught them off guard.
Again level 2 beating level 1, then completing the positional solo kill.
【Is Unreal really this fierce?】
【Holy shit, this guy plays PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds every day, knows nothing about League of Legends, how is he randomly killing in his first pro match!】
【Mommy! Is Unreal really going to ruin the LPL mid lane circle? Are other mid laners just noobs!】
【Honestly, seeing Unreal perform like this, I won’t even mention how noob the other mid laners are, everyone who gets it gets it.】
Amid the discussions from all sides, LeBlanc finally drinks potion, looks like she doesn’t plan to recall.
And at this moment, the big screen suddenly shows a pause.
The audience at the scene immediately starts discussing.
“Everyone please wait a moment, NB team’s mid laner Cool reported a bug in the game, minions not attacking LeBlanc, the referee is verifying.” Su Xiao Yan gets the director’s notice and hurriedly explains.
But saying this has no effect.
Instead it sparks more guesses from the audience.
【Here it comes, got solo killed and embarrassed, starting to claim bug, right?】
【Laughing to death, Wu Zhuang Tai just can’t lose, normal.】
The director at this time also clips out the footage of the level 1 confrontation.
From level 1 LeBlanc crossing the minion wave to auto attack Syndra, the ranged minions already triggered aggro mechanism, but didn’t attack LeBlanc.
【Really didn’t attack LeBlanc? Could it really be a bug?】
【Now it kinda looks like it, no wonder Unreal could solo kill Wu Zhuang Tai, turns out it’s relying on a bug, that makes sense.】
【Laughing to death, if talking about the fastest face change, it’s definitely not Sichuan, but these viewers in the live stream room.】
At the commentator desk, Su Xiao Yan frowns and asks: “Teachers, what do you think is going on with the minions not auto attacking?”
Chang Mao stays silent beside her.
Ji De feels like something appears in his mind, but he can’t grasp it.
……
NB team bench.
“Referee, I think the minions just had a bug, when the opponent’s LeBlanc auto attacked me, the minions didn’t attack LeBlanc at all, seriously affecting game balance.”
“My minions wouldn’t auto attack at all! Otherwise how could he solo kill me!”
If not for the minions not auto attacking, how could the opponent trade so profitably? With health pressed even lower, how dare he cross the minion wave to continue suppressing?
This minion not auto attacking bug is the reason he got solo killed.
“Don’t worry Wu Zhuang Tai, wait for EDG team bench’s referee reply, if it’s a bug we’ll handle it immediately.”
“Oh, okay, got it.” The referee puts down the headset.
“Wu Zhuang Tai player, the issue you reported is not a bug, it’s the operation of Unreal player, causing the minion auto attack to be kited off, the principle is the same as kiting turret attacks.”
“How is that possible! We can even kite minion auto attacks?” Hearing the referee say this, Wu Zhuang Tai completely can’t believe it.
The referee doesn’t say any extra words to Wu Zhuang Tai.
“The match continues.”
LPL league rules are like this, as long as the principle can be explained clearly, prioritize not affecting match rhythm, rule it’s not a bug.
Unless there’s huge controversy and uncertainty.
That would require multiple attempts in the backend.
With the ruling in effect, both sides’ match continues.
When the screen returns and sees no changes, everyone knows this ruling isn’t a bug.
Minions ignoring aggro mechanism, and this isn’t a bug?
This makes many who never send bullet comments unable to resist joining the discussion.
Honestly they’ve never seen minions not auto attacking.
LeBlanc’s auto attack already went out, why not attack her?
The most ridiculous is the referee actually ruling it’s not a bug.
Actually Li Fan didn’t expect Wu Zhuang Tai to call the referee over the minion auto attack kite.
But when everyone learns you can kite minion auto attacks, that’s three years later.
So not to mention now, even in S15 there are many operations no one knows.
When used, everyone is surprised, turns out that’s how it works.
……
After learning the principle, Su Xiao Yan hurriedly shares with the audience.
“The situation where minions didn’t attack LeBlanc just now, actually the aggro mechanism was already triggered, the reason it didn’t attack LeBlanc is because the minion’s auto attack had already gone out, got kited during target switch, it’s a bit like kiting turret auto attack, same mechanism.”
With Su Xiao Yan explaining this way, everyone thinks yeah it seems like that’s it.
The bug issue just ended.
The rhythm of the second wave comes!
Syndra teleports back to lane.
Looking at the half-health LeBlanc, Wu Zhuang Tai itches with hate, but psychologically the pressure isn’t that big anymore.
Half-health LeBlanc poses no threat to him, first hurry to level 2, levels are everything.
LeBlanc starts pushing the wave, but at this time EDG bot lane duo gets even more aggressive.
This situation is already obvious, Jarvan IV is in the bottom half, if mid pushes the wave then teleports bot, they can 4v2.
100,000 Volts sees this and hurriedly recalls to prepare bot lane support.
At this timing it’s still in time, if letting LeBlanc recall and teleport over that’d be game over.
If bot gets 4v2, Lucian and Braum would completely explode.
Mid minion wave enters tower, LeBlanc retreats to prepare recall.
Wu Zhuang Tai sees this, definitely needs to interfere.
But he steps out with EQ, and the Jarvan IV coming from river makes his pupils dilate.
He fell for it!
From start to finish EDG had no ideas bot, the real target is him!
How are these people so insidious!
Jarvan IV EQ combo used, Wu Zhuang Tai with no Q can’t interrupt at all, under pressure flashes toward the turret.
But Clearlove flashes after, though no damage, still knocks up Syndra.
This is what Jarvan IV does when ganking, first EQ without flash gets knocked up, flash then follow flash, basically unstoppable.
Li Fan W skill steps up here, chain immediately follows!
Under the mixed doubles, Syndra’s health rapidly drops.
With LeBlanc Q locking Syndra, exploding passive damage, poor Syndra falls once again in front of the turret.
Wu Zhuang Tai watches black and white TV again.
Have to say this black and white TV really hurts the heart, most importantly this big wave of minions in front of the turret, again none eaten, to this point only five last hits.
“Fuck, earlier relied on minions to win a trade, now calls jungler to gank, don’t dare real 1v1?”
And in the backstage, Scout watches this scene feeling mentally broken.
Shit!
What trash mid laners is Li Fan running into in two games!
He really wants to take over Syndra himself, a lane bully level mid laner, played like this.
Isn’t this letting this noob Li Fan perform crazily here?
Shit!
Is Wu Zhuang Tai even human? Tell me is he human!
And Abu’s expression is thrilled.
Clearlove’s mid gank they heard clearly backstage, entirely commanded by Li Fan.
Bot pretending to fight, mid pushing to prepare recall, all feints.
This requires some professional level awareness.
If complete noobs, wouldn’t think that much.
Terrifying insight into human nature, playing everyone on NB in the palm of his hand.
Li Fan’s status in all their hearts starts to rise.
Though can’t figure out why this guy who doesn’t train is so fierce, but knowing he’s fierce is right.
Li Fan this trip home with two kills, carrying 1400 gold fortune.
Directly builds Blade of the Ruined King, plus a control ward.
In contrast Wu Zhuang Tai, his economy only enough for a Killing Intent Ring, indeed shockingly miserable.
No way, consecutive two deaths, besides time-passive gold, only five minions’ economy left.
Wu Zhuang Tai can only comfort himself, the ring has infinite possibilities.
But Syndra with this development, it’s hard to say much.
As a lane bully naturally can’t be strong from level 1 to 18.
But this game dragged to this extent, looks unlikely to reach level 18.
Because mid LeBlanc with absolute level and item lead, directly launches fierce attack on Syndra.
W skill pins minion, raises hand Blade of the Ruined King slow, E skill attach then auto attack easily triggers Thunder.
On return uses Q to trigger passive, then another auto attack, easily pokes health.
Even with only rune AP bonus, damage still extremely terrifying.
Full health Syndra out of base drops to half health!
“Oh!”
The on-site audience shocked by the damage output.
“Wu Zhuang Tai’s current situation, mid can’t match the lane at all, to change it depends on how the jungler helps him.”
“Yes, LeBlanc with Blade of the Ruined King playing very aggressively, must have 100,000 Volts help out.”
Dad come quick!
