Chapter 23 Double Kill! Miller: Who's the support anyway?
In-game.
Every basic attack Varus landed on Tristana.
In addition to the damage from her basic attacks, Tristana has also accumulated four stacks of her passive ability.
Tristana wasn't in good condition to begin with, and after a few basic attacks, her health had reached the kill threshold.
The skirmish between the two bottom laners continued, and Ashe finally arrived.
"Ashe has just arrived, and Tristana is already at the kill threshold. Aren't you going to leave yet?" Miller stared intently at the screen. "Varus's Q skill is ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Varus's basic attack fired an arrow that flew sharply towards the cannon.
Hidden Q in flat A!
This is a common trick for Varus: remember the pre-cast animation of your basic attack to mask the release of your Q skill.
Even professional players might not be able to react in time.
Watching Varus's actions on the screen, everyone, from the commentators to the chat, tensed up.
After killing Thresh, Ashe and Tristana had gained an advantage, and the laning phase should have been very smooth.
However, if the cannon is killed, then both sides will be back to square one, and the advantage will be completely lost.
Sima Laozei reacted quickly, and upon seeing Varus's arrow, he immediately used Flash.
But Varus was clearly prepared; the direction the arrow pointed was obviously where the teleportation would land.
Once the cannon's Flash ends, no matter how fast the reaction is, it cannot escape the range of the Piercing Sword.
"Little Cannon was too hasty; he should have used Flash earlier," Miller exclaimed. "Jinjiao's preparation was excellent; it was a predicted piercing arrow."
He had already sensed something was wrong, and sure enough, something did happen.
"Little Cannon should just leave, there's no need to fight head-on!" Long Hair chimed in.
As he spoke, everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen.
Just as the little cannon's flash ended and the piercing sword was about to arrive, a green light appeared beneath the little cannon's feet.
The treatment increases the cannon's health and movement speed.
The piercing sword narrowly missed, not landing on Xiaopao.
"It was Ice's healing!" Miller exclaimed with delight. "Little Cannon was definitely going to die, but Ice's healing saved him. This treatment was crucial!"
"Varus can't touch Tristana anymore, Ashe has stuck to Varus!" Longhair exclaimed in surprise.
In-game.
The ice, having received the healing effect, also gained a speed boost, and its basic attack landed smoothly on Varus.
Varus had been fighting with Tristana for a long time, and his health had already dropped to the minimum, so there was no way he could escape.
"Double kill!"
Double kill, Ashe got a double kill as expected.
As the system notification sounded, IM's bot lane duo felt a little dazed.
Despite their best efforts, the result was still beyond their expectations.
A head-to-head kill, or even both of them being killed.
This is no longer a problem with the lineup; their decision-making was completely outmatched by the opposing team.
At this moment, they even suspected that Xiao Pao had done it on purpose, and that everything was part of OMG's bot lane duo's plan.
The live chat was buzzing with excitement once again.
Miller's excitement grew: "Double kill! Ashe has secured Varus's kill, this is Ashe's third!"
"Three kills already. If you cover the IDs, do you know who the AD carry is?"
"OMG's Chushchen really gave us a huge surprise," Longhair said with a smile. "However, it was really thrilling just now."
Anyone can see that OMG made a huge profit from that last wave.
Especially Hanbing, whose kill count, including those he got in the jungle, has reached three.
Chu Shi returned to the fountain, replenished his equipment as soon as possible, and headed towards the bottom lane.
"Great command! You played Ashe really well!"
Sima Laozei's voice rang out in the game channel. If he didn't need to control the hero, he would even want to give Chu Shi a thumbs up.
Everything that just happened was due to Chu Shi's command.
From initially not contesting minion waves and focusing fire on Thresh, to later taking the initiative and making a last-ditch escape.
At first, he actually had some concerns, after all, Thresh was too intimidating, and even at level 2 he was a deadly threat.
After witnessing Master Chu's exceptional footwork, he was completely convinced of Master Chu's abilities.
It's no exaggeration to say that if he were in that situation, he might not be able to do it either.
This is also why he later took the initiative to exchange blows with Varus. He naturally knew there was a risk of being killed, but he trusted Master Chu.
And now, everything that has just happened has proven that Chu Shi's command was correct.
"You did a good job too!" Master Chu praised.
In the recent exchange, his command was certainly important, but Sima Laozei's own actions should not be overlooked.
Command is like being a general, but no matter how good a general is, he cannot play his due role if there are no soldiers to carry out his orders.
He and Sima the Old Thief are both extremely important.
"That's a double kill!"
The double kill in the bottom lane also caught the attention of the other OMG members.
How long has it been?
Xiao Liu's Sejuani had only just gotten her third buff.
"That was a cool move!" Leng Shao exclaimed.
The mid lane matchup was very stable, allowing Leng Shao to focus on the situation in other lanes.
In other words, he had seen everything that had just happened in the bottom lane.
Hanbing's positioning just now reminded him of the few games he played with Chu Shi in duo queue not long ago.
Ashe's gameplay was remarkably similar to Camille's back then; it was practically script-like.
Considering the outcome of the previous game, he now reasonably suspects that Chu Shi is very likely to carry the team again in this game.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Unlike the atmosphere within OMG, the overall atmosphere at IM was rather oppressive.
"It's okay, take it easy!" AJ said reassuringly.
Another kill in lane; the bottom lane's performance has indeed been terrible.
However, this incident cannot be entirely blamed on the bot lane duo.
Even he hadn't expected OMG to pick such a combination for their bot lane, let alone that OMG would have such an aggressive playstyle.
Moreover, neither he nor the bot lane duo were familiar with the Ashe and Tristana combination.
From the very beginning of the draft phase, the game had already slipped out of their control, so this outcome is not surprising.
"Let's be careful!" the bot lane duo responded.
Having failed twice in a row, they couldn't find any excuses, so staying put was their best option.
If they lose this round, they will truly be defeated; they absolutely cannot afford any more accidents.
"Just stay calm. The enemy's supports are getting kills. I'll gank them!" Ben said.
Although OMG was already leading by three kills, those kills were all concentrated on Ashe.
A support is still a support, especially one who is squishy.
As long as he makes the move, their chances are still very high.
