You still dared to ask, does Lee Sin even need to use the front door to go to the Dragon?
With just a ward and a W-skill, or even a more simple use of a Q-skill, he could easily stick himself to the Dragon.
And it was the same for Elise, no problem, just one Rappel and she would land down on the Dragon.
And so, both the Junglers had used another path to enter the Dragon’s Pit, stealing the Dragon in complete darkness right under their noses!
With a Level 5 Lee Sin and a Level 4 Elise, taking the Dragon wasn’t that difficult. The two champions had multiple damage-dealing skills, adding on both their Smites…
Sly, this Dragon-stealing was just too sly. Team Daemons were more wary of getting ganked in-lane, but these two had been stealing the Dragon instead! Even a veteran team like Team Daemons hadn’t expected that!
Even the other professional players watching were all in awe.
This card they had played really was too sly, no one had expected it at all.
“D*mn, if Team Skycrown didn’t train this tactic at all, I’ll chop off my hands!” Qing Ye from Team Revelation was the first to recover.
It was just an unreasonable card to play!
Team Skycrown had always been like this, dealing cards that were unreasonable. Just when you expected them to invade the jungle area, they would gank the lanes instead. When you expected them to gank the lanes, they were stealing the Dragon.
You were helpless against them, because none of the professional players would even think of stepping into the Dragon Pit before the six-minute mark. Even if it hit the six-minute mark, you would still take at least three people as an insurance to take the Dragon. But this combination of Lee Sin and Elise in their double Jungler play, they still had half of their health remaining even after taking the Dragon!
Belial stood rooted, looking at these two guys.
However, he didn’t dare to engage. They both still had half their health left, if he got caught by Elise’s E-skill, Cocoon, he would easily be taken down by the burst damage these two had, and besides, he didn’t have his Flash either.
In this situation, even if Belial had accidentally stumbled upon them, all he could do was watch as they openly walked away.
There really wasn’t anything to be done!
The Dragon was an objective that the earlier you took it, the more obvious the effect. After all, a hundred gold difference for your teammates, it was possible that the difference would enable them to complete an item faster than their opponent!
***
After seeing the enemy take the Dragon in front of his eyes, Belial was at a loss at what to do for a moment.
Should he gank? Needless to say, with the opponent playing double Junglers, the speed that they could counter-gank him would be much faster, and as long as one of the Junglers appeared, his gank would be considered to be a failure.
Should he counter-gank? Only God knew if the two of them were going together to gank or not, and if you jumped in blindly and there were two of them, you were just commiting suicide.
For the many years that Belial had focused on being a Jungler, the biggest headache was going against double Junglers, and it had to be two Junglers that were strong and had am excellent sense of rhythm!
Usually, Belial was confident in the steps needed in the jungle and he was also very good at adapting.
This time, he was just lost. Who knew what other secret card they would be pulling out to play next!
***
Taking the Dragon at six minutes, now, there was just one more minute before the buffs respawned!
In the start of the game, Team Skycrown’s Junglers hadn’t tried to steal their buff, but now with the second buff, Belial was sure that they would come to steal it!
The second blue buff was normally given to the Mid because it was important for their development.
Belial had already warded the area near his own blue buff previously, instructing his other members to prepare to protect Hades’ blue buff.
As expected, before the blue buff respawned, you could see the two shadows sneaking into the area.
Hades’ Ziggs had already planted explosives on the ground as a trap, preventing Luocheng from flying in. At the same time, the bottom lane of Team Daemons were already on their way to give assistance as they needed to guard this blue buff.
Hades’ development was super important, once he was fed, he would be able to bring the team to victory. If the blue buff, which was extremely important to him got taken away, it would be hard for him to carry the game!
For this blue buff, Team Daemons were super determined. They needed to destroy, they needed to take it!
What could Team Skycrown say to this, there were already four people appearing to guard the blue buff, wanting to take it was also a bit hard for them.
Planting a ward, Luocheng and Zhou Yan contemplated for three seconds and finally decided that it was better to let go of it.
Their opponent’s lineup had too much CC, whether it was Ziggs, Ezreal or even Karma, all of their skills could be anywhere, especially Ziggs.
Hades’ Ziggs was really something. If you walked forward, he could just throw his Bouncing Bomb. When you saw this small thing coming at you, even if you tried to avoid it, it would still detonate and hit you. It felt like the cartoon of a cat and mouse that you used to watch in the past. When there was something in the sky that wanted him, that shadow would always be on top of your head, no matter where you ran, front, back, side, it would still hit you in the end.
Being able to raise his capabilities to this level… It was not just a matter of throwing it wherever. This took a lot of time to practice plus you needed to predict where your opponent would move and the possibilities that they would reposition themselves.
With Zigg’s continuously throwing his skills, it really was unbearable. After being hit a few times, Team Skycrown no longer dared to come forward to steal the buff.
***
After taking the blue buff, Hades walked back toward the middle lane, frowning soon after, because he found that the two Junglers had used this chance to push the minion wave ahead and were directly under the turret now.
In this situation, it was impossible for Hades to use the usual narrow path to get back to the mid-lane. If Elise were able to land a stun on him, he would definitely die, plus the path was really narrow.
But if he took the roundabout way, the turret in the middle lane would definitely take heavy blows.
Hades was also quite domineering, and if it were any other Mid-player, they would just take the roundabout way. After all, there were three enemies in the middle lane, they were preventing the Mid from coming back to defend.
Hades directly unleashed his skills from his position, using the advantage that he had with his long range to deal with the three members of Team Skycrown from his side!
Hades was indeed quite daring. He was facing a Gragas who could probably ulti you forward to them, an Elise who could limit your movements from afar, and a Lee Sin whose kicks were deadly, but he wasn’t showing any fear at all.
“Do we want to force the kill?” Wu Sen asked, watching Hades in the narrow path. He felt that the chance to kill him was high.
“Don’t do anything, we can’t be sure how many of them are behind him. He still has his Satchel Charge, Flash, and Barrier, it won’t be that easy to kill him. The turret is more important!”
As the first team dubbed as the turret killers, if they focused on the kills instead of the turrets, it would be quite inappropriate!
Hades was obviously using himself to bait the three who were pushing the turret, trying to disrupt them from dealing any further damage to it. If they really went after him, it was worth it for Hades to sacrifice himself to defend the turret, and this was possibly the reason Hades was doing this in the first place.
Luocheng wasn’t about to take things for granted. To them, taking down this turret was extremely important as it was one of the keys to victory!
Unfortunately, the minion wave didn’t last too long and the turret still had one-third of its health left. They needed to find another chance to take the turret down.
“Remember, the outer turret in the middle lane is extremely important. Don’t let Team Skycrown take it even before the game hits ten minutes, otherwise, we’ll fall right into the various traps that they have already laid out for us.”
Coach Huang Kang’s words were always replaying inside Hades’ mind.
If nothing went out of expectation, the next thing the two Junglers would do was roam the jungle area. If they didn’t have their outer turret, Hades’ farming range would be limited to a small area. Even if he wanted to take the Wraith or Wolves camp at that time, he would be too worried as to whether there was anyone lying in wait for him.
That was why Hades would not let anyone take this turret down.
“HA!”
A turn and a Sonic Wave came forth, and Hades who was under the turret had never expected Fighting Hawk’s Lee Sin to suddenly turn around and attack. If this Sonic Wave landed, Hades didn’t have a good feeling about it!
As expected, the moment it landed on Hades, Luocheng’s body flew over in an instant!
What was the most beautiful maneuver a Lee Sin had?
It was when you dashed onto the enemy, planted a ward behind him, and then subsequently roundhouse-kick him to the back toward your own teammates!
On the big screen, you could clearly see Luocheng’s Lee Sin flying forward, his body like the wind, toward Hades’ Ziggs!
As soon as Hades refocused, he realized what Luocheng was planning to do!
This time, it was considered to be the real confrontation between the Fighting Hawk, Yu Luocheng, and Hades!
Hades responded quickly, throwing a Satchel Charge at his feet at the same time that Luocheng touched him, throwing himself backward quite a distance when the bomb detonated.
The repositioning from the bomb was simple, it was for the purpose of bringing Luocheng’s Lee Sin into the turret’s attack range!
Lee Sin’s second Q-skill had a tracking effect, and as long as he was already in motion, no matter where the target moved to, Lee Sin would always reach his target.
Hades was still a distance away from the turret previously, and with the repositioning that he did with his bomb, Luocheng’s Lee Sin was now deeper in and within the turret range.
Just behind, Belial’s Vi was already preparing his Ultimate, Assault and Battery. His massive gauntlets would land on Luocheng the moment he reached, and he would then trap him under the turret!
“This is a trap, Hades was just waiting for Fighting Hawk’s second Q-skill to reach him, and then he would trap him under the turret for the purpose of killing him! The problem is that Captain Yu is already in motion…Oh, OH MY GOD!” Bao Jun trailed off before screaming.
“OOH!”
At the same time, the entire arena let out their own screams, some even sounded strangled!
“Holy sh*t, Captain Yu’s Lee Sin is just too f*cking much!?”
“That was immensely superb, that finger speed, it was so phenomenal!!”
“F*ck, this guy, he even dares to play around with Hades!”
Right when everyone had thought that Luocheng would be trapped by Hades under the turret by his move, Luocheng made a spectacular move. Just as Hades landed himself at the turret, Lee Sin had actually planted a ward behind himself while in motion and smoothly changed his flight path with a W-skill back onto that ward.
So now, you could see Lee Sin’s glorious flight path, elegantly dancing in a ‘V’ shape in front of the turret, leaving Ziggs where he was after instantly Flashing!
Flashy!
Luocheng’s Lee Sin was so flashy, he really was such a show-off!
