Chapter 16 Cinnabar!
Doinb had just returned home when he switched screens and glanced at the top laner; he was stunned.
18 slashes against 8 slashes, cover up the ID, and he'd believe it if you said it was a King of Glory playing against a Gold player.
"Wow, are you under that much pressure on the road?"
"Should we replace the cable?"
Doinb proposed a solution: if the top laner is under too much pressure, the bot lane can take over.
No matter how strong a top laner is, they can only cower under their tower when facing a bot lane duo.
"No, no need. I made a mistake just now. I can make it back at level six." V still had some ambition. Crocodile against Riven would have a huge advantage after level six.
Among top lane champions, the crocodile's ultimate ability is the most powerful weapon.
He wasn't afraid of being suppressed at the beginning; once he had his ultimate move, he would teach that rookie pro a lesson!
"Shy, it's not good to go to TOP. I'll go to MID first after I reach level 6," Xiaotian said to TheShy in the microphone, outlining his gank plans.
Although they were using a strategy to protect TheShy, he is still a Rengar, and if they want to launch a threatening gank, they must wait until Rengar reaches level 6 and uses his ultimate.
A poodle without its ultimate move is like a lion without its fangs—just a cute kitten.
Only when they reach level six, freeing up the mid-lane Lissandra, can the combined ultimate abilities of Rengar and Lissandra put immense pressure on NBY's top and bottom lanes.
"Well, it's not really an easy place for me to go either."
"The coach was right, their mid and jungle played very well!"
"The distance is very tight; I estimate I can't press him down by many strikes."
Left Hand chimed in, and when he went up to lane against Doinb, he could tell that his opponent's minion wave management was completely different from the guys he usually encountered.
He was playing at the same level as in a scrim with the LPL. His minion wave control was excellent, not too close, not too far, just right in the middle. He pushed the minion wave as much as he used his skills, and Doinb pushed it back just as much.
Doinb tried to push forward and suppress the enemy, and his trades were excellent, definitely at the level of an LPL mid laner.
And especially, this guy plays like a snail!
In the second wave of minions, he managed to reach level 2 first, but then retreated to the tower, preferring to miss a last hit rather than give himself any chance to trade damage.
"Luckily, Coach Lin changed tactics at the beginning. How could we possibly break through against such a turtle-like mid laner!" Left Hand thought with relief. Doinb's strength was indeed LPL level, but he played like a turtle to death.
If we had used a mid-lane pressure strategy centered around him in the early to mid-game today, the outcome would have been very uncertain.
"That's it, Shy, you're on your own." Xiaotian also understood that Swift's jungling skills were quite high.
Their jungle clearing path was kept completely hidden in the early stages, constantly putting pressure on all three lanes, making them a force to be reckoned with.
TheShy heard this but didn't respond, nor did he need to.
He had already decided that he could handle V's crocodile on his own!
As time progressed, both sides played with extreme caution.
Swift and Xiaotian each showed up in the mid and bottom lanes respectively, and the two sides were temporarily evenly matched. They exchanged river crabs, and the kill score remained at 0-0.
Those who don't know might think it's an LPL match, a stark contrast to the earlier LSPL.
"Wow! The details on both sides are done very well."
"What the first team said is right, this new team KG is not simple."
In the rest area, EDE's top laner AJ was also watching the game, ever since EDG's head coach Abu told them to be careful of KG.
EDE has also been paying close attention to KG, not only in their scrims but also in the official matches.
"Yes, especially KG's top, mid, and jungle players, their skill level is extremely high."
Baeme observed the minimap and could see that KG's top, mid, and jungle lanes coordinated very well, while the bot lane was slightly weaker.
AJ agreed, saying, "Yeah, their KG top laner is incredibly aggressive."
"That's a bit scary. He's almost at level six. Let's see how he pulls off this."
Based on experience, the battle for sixth place is approaching, and the top lane battle is about to become fierce. AJ wants to see if TheShy can still pull off the amazing plays he's been showing in scrims in the official match.
What?! Fiora soloed through Marui, and Koro1 got CS under the tower.
I was just thinking about it.
The director abruptly cut to the top lane, but it was already a little too late.
The moment TheShy reached level six, he used his E skill to dash forward, and with the shield active, he immediately flashed and followed up with W.
TheShy's W skill briefly stuns the crocodile, and at the same time, TheShy presses four keys in one second.
RA Tiamat resets the basic attack, then follows up with RQ.
A single, instant combo instantly reduced the crocodile's remaining health to half.
"Wow!"
The moment he was instantly killed, V's body jolted, and he launched himself forward from his gaming chair.
I was so scared I cried.
That's so fast.
Generally speaking, professional players engage in a game of cat and mouse, reacting to each other's moves and gradually pulling the opponent back and forth.
One second ago, he was thinking that after the next minion was eaten, TheShy would reach level six and push forward to suppress the enemy.
Who would have thought that TheShy would unleash a perfect combo without hesitation, leaving the player no time to react or use Flash.
People are already seeing a black and white screen.
Holy crap!
"What the hell?!"
In the EDE lounge, AJ suddenly stood up; Riven's combo was truly dazzling and incredibly fast.
The chat in the live stream was ignited by this solo kill.
"666, what the heck?"
"??????"
"What the hell? I didn't even see it clearly, and it was over in seconds? Just like that!"
"Riven's QA was lightning fast!"
"Is that a lightning-fast QA? This lightning-fast QAQ is enough to make the opponent cry, okay?"
"The best Riven player in the Korean server, she truly lives up to her reputation!"
To those outside the esports community, this Riven play was incredibly impressive, with exceptionally fast reflexes.
In fact, AJ's speed is also astonishing.
The comments were exactly what he was thinking.
V was startled in his gaming chair just now, which proves everything.
"NICE!!!" Zhu Kai and Lin Kong exclaimed in unison in the KG preparation area.
"Mr. Lin, after this solo kill, it feels like we're about to beat the game!"
"This was a highlight moment; TheShy's fanbase will definitely grow by 3000 when he gets back. He needs to sell for an extra hour tonight!"
"Hmm, it seems our focuses are a bit different."
Zhu Kai was surprised that Lin Kong was still thinking about selling goods even though it was already the main stage of LSPL.
For Lin Kong, this was exactly the situation he had anticipated.
From the very beginning of nurturing TheShy, he knew this day would come. TheShy's style in the top lane is completely different from other top laners.
Having gotten used to playing other stable top laners, it's only natural that players would get solo-killed when suddenly faced with a crazy top laner like TheShy!
"What a memorable scene!"
"I'm afraid starting tomorrow, various images of this famous scene will circulate on Tieba."
Lin Kong's phone buzzed again; it was the replies to the online troll posts.
On the anti-racism forum, some people gradually started using TheShy's Riven solo kill as an example to prove that Riven can be used in competitive matches.
Some people have even started editing TheShy's combo from earlier and making GIFs.
It's obvious to anyone that tomorrow TheShy will become the quintessential Riven player in professional esports.
"Awesome... awesome!"
On the field, Xiao Tian heard the first blood notification in his earpiece and blurted it out.
"No need, you've already helped me." What TheShy probably meant was that after this fight, the situation in the top lane improved, and Xiaotian no longer needed to use his ultimate to gank at level six.
His Chinese isn't very good, so when he speaks it, it sounds pretentious.
But who can blame him for getting solo killed!
