Chapter 30 Punching Hakimi and Kicking Akainu!
Under the spotlight, Summoner's Rift unfolded before everyone's eyes, and fans from both sides erupted in deafening cheers, each cheering on their favorite player.
As soon as I entered the game, the signal signals from all over the canyon were constantly being pinged.
"Brother Chen, could you ward the enemy's big bird for me later?"
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded in response to Ming Kai.
"Tianye, He Kui, I need to gank level two!"
"Okay, I'll use Blink Bubble!"
There wasn't much planning in the level 1 team fight between the two sides. In fact, because both supports brought scanners, they didn't even do any vision control in the jungle.
In the current version, destroying a ward grants experience. While this experience might not be very useful in the first few minutes of the game, it is extremely beneficial for the top and mid lanes.
You normally need the seventh minion to level up, but if you can take the gold from the ward, you can level up to 2 after the first wave of minions. Seize this opportunity to gain an advantage in lane.
It even snowballs endlessly.
Mingkai also started with Red Buff, and this time Olaf took Ghost. Although he would be in an awkward situation in the late game due to the lack of Flash, Olaf had the ability to gank in the early game with Ghost and Red Buff.
Mingkai actually took Lu Chen's advice to heart when Lu Chen said, "To beat RNG, just gank bot lane at level two."
"Do you need my help to catch the middle one?"
At that moment, in RNG's team voice chat, Mlxg asked a question, but Xiaohu confidently declined, saying, "It shouldn't be necessary, you can help the bottom lane, but we can see how things go."
"It'll be there in the bottom lane." Uzi chewed his gum, his chubby face beaming with confidence.
At 1 minute and 35 seconds, the mid lane minions converged first in the mid lane, and the director immediately turned the camera to the mid lane matchup, drawing the attention of all viewers.
"We also see that both mid laners have the same item build and runes, with Doran's Ring, two health potions, and Thunderlord's Decree as their primary rune path. Kingslayer didn't consider taking Deathfire Touch."
Looking at the camera in front of him, Miller crossed his arms and began to analyze, "But actually, no matter what, LeBlanc isn't that easy to wind up."
"That's right." Guan Zeyuan nodded in agreement. "Moreover, LeBlanc is Xiaohu's signature hero, but we still have to commend Kingslayer for daring to pick LeBlanc in his first major tournament."
"Moreover, his opponent is Xiaohu, who is always ready to fight. Hopefully, his LeBlanc will be effective, otherwise the pressure of this game will be entirely on Deft's Ashe."
At this point, Miller suddenly laughed, "But Mr. Zeyuan, to be honest, I think it's unlikely that Kingslayer's LeBlanc can break through Xiaohu's Orianna head-on."
Their words also attracted likes from many of Xiaohu's fans and Royal Fans in the live stream.
Look! That's what professionalism is all about!
[A newbie dares to play LeBlanc in front of Xiaohu in their very first game? Does anyone really think Xiaohu is a noob?]
[Xiaohu is a top mid-laner in the LPL, and K personally organized his retirement ceremony.]
[Good riddance! A cause for celebration! The person who slandered my dog should be nailed to a coffin lid. Little Tiger, turn this beast into a human machine!]
...
Amidst the heated discussion, Lu Chen had already placed a ward at the entrance to the river for the opposing red team's big bird, and Xiao Hu did the same.
As long as the enemy passes by here or spawns a large raptor, you can perfectly pinpoint the enemy jungler's location and easily analyze their subsequent movements, providing information for your teammates.
Lu Chen controlled the mouse, looking at Orianna in front of him. He didn't rush to trade blows with her. Instead, he decisively used his W ability to dash towards the three minions in the back row of the red team, and also closed the distance with Orianna.
The moment he released W, Xiaohu's eyes suddenly lit up. He had naturally watched Lu Chen's Rank videos and knew that Lu Chen played very aggressively in lane, and this time he was even playing LeBlanc.
If you're not aggressive when playing LeBlanc, then there's not much point in picking this champion.
LeBlanc's strategy is to dominate the lane, push the lane, roam to gain an advantage, and unleash high burst damage in early and mid-game team fights when she has a significant equipment advantage.
Once the game becomes even or drags into the late game, this hero becomes very ineffective. If the carry has any means of protection, it will be very difficult for LeBlanc to kill them instantly.
Upon seeing LeBlanc immediately use her W ability to step on him, Xiaohu instantly used his E ability to prepare to give himself a shield.
"Young people are still too young!" Xiao Hu said with a smirk.
He naturally knew LeBlanc's usual tactics, which involved trampling both the enemy and minions together, thus exchanging health and pushing the lane at the same time, achieving two goals at once. Therefore, he did not position himself close to the backline minions at the start of the game.
It's completely impossible for Lu Chen's enchantress to wear him down along with his troops.
Based on his observation of Lu Chen's ranked habits, he felt that this W was aimed at his Orianna herself, but that would cause it to hit his E skill shield, thus negating the damage.
During LeBlanc's W cooldown period, Xiaohu's Orianna would have an advantage, allowing him to stick to the top river and relentlessly pressure and trade blows.
With no one having any skills available, it's clear that Orianna's passive auto-attack bonus damage is much stronger.
What will Lu Chen do then? He'll either have to force a trade of health and push the lane, or he'll have to stay away from the minion wave if he wants to preserve his health.
This makes it almost certain that he'll get a level 2, and once he gets to level 2, he can continue to exert pressure.
The next second, Xiaohu was stunned when he saw LeBlanc step on three backline minions, take the opportunity to attack him once, and then go back.
"Did I actually misunderstand?"
Xiao Hu straightened his back. He admitted that Lu Chen had caught him off guard, but he quickly pressed forward. Once LeBlanc's W was used, he would definitely seize the opportunity.
Orianna's passive ability deals extra damage, so once he pushes forward, Lu Chen has three options.
He's facing off against A.
Let him farm, let LeBlanc farm minions and take the lane.
Preserve your health, pull back, and wait for your W skill to recover.
"Oh!" Miller was a little surprised. "We see that Kingslayer is very meticulous. His LeBlanc only stepped on three backline minions when he used his W skill. It seems that he can take the initiative in the minion wave first."
"Furthermore, because he used W to sneakily auto-attack Xiaohu, he attracted the aggro of the red team minions, so the red team minions stopped focusing fire on the blue team minions. But Xiaohu noticed this and took advantage of the moment when your LeBlanc was without skills to try and trade blows!"
"That's right, Kingslayer is really something!" Guan Zeyuan praised. "But why isn't he leaving? Is he going to force a roster change with Xiaohu?"
On the mid-lane screen, Lu Chen controlled the Enchantress, standing on the right side of the mid-lane. The power of his right hand was helping him, and with the support of various talents, he was not afraid of Xiaohu.
"Come on, it's just a straight Ace!"
Lu Chen first pulled back the shield of the clockwork and the aggro of the minions, then immediately turned around, not afraid of Xiao Hu at all.
Who said that you can be very strong just by learning E at level 1 and relying on your passive ability?
I'll use cheat codes to avoid your tiger brother's sharp edge?
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Hu was a little stunned, but he didn't indulge her. Was he afraid of someone who had once been his substitute?
Like Lu Chen, both of them consumed their first health potion and engaged in a fierce auto-attack on the mid lane minions. LeBlanc's health dropped much faster than Orianna's.
However, Lu Chen was not flustered at all. Xiao Hu believed that he was not afraid of exchanging blows at all, but he overlooked one problem: after he had just stepped on the back row minions with his W, the first wave of red minions would definitely die faster than his own.
After exchanging blows for a while, Xiaohu realized that something was wrong. The blue team's minions were attacking from all directions. At level one, few heroes could withstand so much minion damage without being affected.
"LeBlanc's lane is slowly pushing over here. Although Xiaohu won the trade, it seems like he lost too much in the minion wave!" Miller exclaimed.
At this moment, Xiaohu saw the minion wave coming and moved back. He knew this, but it didn't matter. He hadn't thought about having to get level 2 first to suppress Lu Chen at the start of the game. His Orianna was originally a farming hero.
As long as you don't get crushed in lane, you're fine.
Lu Chen has already drunk his second health potion, and the minion wave has pushed past half of the river. He will then block the minion wave in front of the tower.
The question is, what should Lu Chen do about this vixen?
Whether you're a top laner or a mid laner, having the minion wave blocked in front of your tower is always the most frustrating thing. You can't push it in, and if you go too far in, the risk of getting caught increases significantly, especially since their jungler is a Lee Sin.
"Xiangguo, you can come over here and grab a bunch of enemies, even if it's just a flash."
"Okay." Spicy Hot Pot glanced at the situation and nodded in agreement, but before he could even make a move, a huge change had already occurred in the bottom lane!
At the same time, Mingkai had been waiting in the bottom lane for a long time. A signal was sent out, and Mingkai's roar echoed in the voice chat.
It's too late to say, then soon!
Deft cleverly positioned himself to let Uzi's Jhin come up and fire his fourth shot, and at that moment, Meiko reacted quickly, flashing out from the bushes.
A transparent bubble hit Jin precisely.
The bathtub is here!
Uzi immediately went into the water to take a bath!
"Damn it!" Uzi's eyes widened as he stared at Mingkai appearing at the bottom lane river entrance, and he was furious. "Where are the wards?! Why didn't you place any wards?!"
"Damn it!" Mata was a little annoyed. He had placed a ward on the lane, but he never expected Mingkai to gank bot lane at level two, so he was naturally unprepared for the tri-bush.
The old Mingkai wasn't like this. Mingkai was a typical tempo-oriented jungler, and ganks would come according to his jungle clearing rhythm. Isn't this level 2 gank to the bottom lane damaging his own rhythm?
Furthermore, in order to secure a level 1 lane advantage, Zyra wouldn't be able to level up her E skill at level 1, making it impossible for her to Flash and trap Olaf.
"My God!"
Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan was the first to shout, "Clearlove chose to gank bot lane at level two right from the start! It looks like he's got it! Olaf has Ghost and Red Buff, and Ashe has her W to slow him down!"
"The puppy is up to its old tricks—!!"
A moment later, as Olaf's axe continued to fall, Uzi flashed and Deft followed up with another flash, and an ice arrow instantly took down the enemy. A deafening game announcement immediately resounded throughout Summoner's Rift!
"First blood!"
"EDG-Deft has killed RNG-Uzi!"
Suddenly, the fans who were chanting Uzi's name fell silent. Guan Zeyuan and Miller looked at each other, caught off guard by Mingkai's sudden change of tactics.
Before they could even react, another voice pierced the sky!
"EDG-Kingslayer has killed RNG-Xiaohu!"
At this moment, the RNG fans, who had been silent, were struck dumb, their jaws dropping to the ground in shock!
Xiaohu got solo killed?
What happened?
"My God! Xiaohu in the mid lane got solo killed by Kingslayer, that rookie, at level two!!" Miller was speechless.
The camera panned across the screen, revealing Xiaohu's Orianna lying quietly under the mid-lane turret, before giving close-ups of Xiaohu and Uzi.
One was somewhat shocked and embarrassed, even a little disoriented, while the other, a chubby little boy chewing gum, had a face as red as a tomato.
Finally, the camera shifts again, focusing on Lu Chen's handsome face. He gently picks up the water bottle in front of him and takes a few sips, appearing completely nonchalant.
"Punching Hakimi and kicking Akainu would be a piece of cake, anyone with hands could do that, right?"
"Holy crap! Awesome, Brother Chen!" Meiko exclaimed in surprise, her voice trembling with excitement.
"66666! Xiao Chen is awesome!" Ming Kai and Deft didn't cheer for their own bot lane gaining an advantage, but instead praised Lu Chen after he solo killed Xiao Hu.
In his debut match, the rookie managed to solo kill a top LPL mid laner at level two. Is Xiaohu too bad or Lu Chen too strong?
Mouse, however, was a little confused. "Brother Chen, what do Hakimi and Akainu mean?"
"Hakimi in Chinese means cat, or it can also mean honey, meaning a cat that has eaten too much honey and is excessively sweet."
"Oh, what about Akainu?" Mouse understood that this was referring to Kotori.
"Red-hot, bathing dog, or simply Akainu!"
"Why doesn't that bubble appear and hide? Tianye, don't you think that bubble looks like a bathtub? Do you think it wants to take a bath?"
...
