Sure enough, after the yellow card dizziness effect from the card ended, the Prince leaped out, and Zhao Xin was immediately launched into the air by the Prince's极限距离 (extreme distance) skill.
A regular attack followed, then the W "Shield" slow was activated. Zhao Xin was hit by two consecutive crowd control skills and immediately suffered from the Prince's red buff and shield double slow.
The card and the Prince immediately pursued with auto-attacks, while the Brand could only watch helplessly as Zhao Xin was beaten.
His health plummeted, and Zhao Xin's attempt to escape was exceptionally weak.
Holding a card in hand, a sharp red card instantly struck Zhao Xin's back of the head!
Zhao Xin was about to crawl back to the mid-lane tower, but in the end, he was killed by the card's red flying card!
300 gold coins floated up, and Yu Luosheng collected them.
The highly anticipated Card Master secured the kill, and the audience immediately erupted in cheers!
The commentator, who was also focused on the mid-lane, said excitedly, "Very impressive! This is a typical mid-lane counter-gank tactic! The Card Master continuously pushed the lane, placing himself in a dangerous position, making it very likely for the enemy jungler to directly gank the Card Master, who has no escape skills. Through this logical guess, our jungler hero squatted in the mid-lane, and once the enemy jungler appeared, he immediately followed up, catching the enemy off guard!"
"Oh, right, there's one important detail that I'm not sure everyone noticed. When the Card Master was hit by Zhao Xin's Flash plus E skill, he immediately used Flash to escape and then instantly switched to a yellow card!"
"Yes, the instant yellow card switch, I remember this detail very clearly! I don't know if it was luck or if this Yu Luosheng player has a very high level of mastery over the Card Master. To be able to instantly switch to a yellow card under such a sudden attack and then work with the Prince to secure the kill on Zhao Xin is impressive. It's a pity; if it had been ten seconds earlier, it might have been a first blood. When we were focused on the mid-lane battle, the Garen in the bottom lane was killed by the Leona under the tower."
The commentator, clearly a League of Legends expert, pointed out this detail, and many of the thousands of spectators let out a sigh of admiration!
Instant yellow card switch!
In the eyes of many, the "instant card switch" is a highly advanced skill for the Card Master!
To play the Card Master, you first need to understand the card selection pattern: red, yellow, blue, and so on, in a loop.
One could say that being able to switch to the card you want is a basic skill for a Card Master player.
A more advanced skill is to always switch cards within four attempts and to be able to hold the right card even when under attack.
The first two skills are not too difficult and can be mastered with practice.
However, the "instant card switch" requires very quick reflexes, as the card will switch after 0.5 seconds, and the sudden nature of ganks makes it difficult to use precisely in real combat.
In the gank and counter-gank process just now, Yu Luosheng's Card Master demonstrated the skill of an instant yellow card switch to everyone.
"Damn, this guy is so good at AP too!" Wang Qin's admiration for Yu Luosheng was boundless!
In the audience, Yang Qianqian, seeing Yu Luosheng's AP skills, smiled and thought to herself: Making him play support for me all the time, is it too much to ask of him?
...
The 300 gold from the early game was very important to Yu Luosheng, but more importantly, he had a blue buff in hand after killing Zhao Xin!
With the blue buff, Yu Luosheng could switch cards more aggressively!
He returned to base and bought an 860 gold Fiendish Codex, which was about to reach level 5. Combined with his level 3 Q "Wild Card," his wave-clearing speed was very fast.
In the early game, Yu Luosheng did not use any of his cards on Brand, no matter how confident he was in his positioning. In the lane, Brand was in a strong position, and if he landed a full combo, he might be killed with an Ignite.
Now, Yu Luosheng's magic damage was clearly higher than Brand's.
With the blue buff in hand, he didn't need to engage in direct combat; he just needed to push the lane, and the mana-starved Brand would suffer greatly!
"Yellow Yu, help me place wards on both sides," Yu Luosheng said to Huang Yu.
Huang Yu's寡妇 (Widowmaker) did nothing but place wards.
At this point, his Widowmaker was only level 2, having gained some experience after the Garen was killed under the tower.
With the wards placed, this ensured that Yu Luosheng could push the lane without being ganked, as he no longer had Flash.
When he got back to the lane, a wave of minions was just arriving.
Easily reaching level 5, his level 3 Q "Wild Card" cleared the minions very quickly. With the blue buff, he could directly choose the red card to push the lane.
Brand was clearly back at base to buy items. Unfortunately, by the time he returned to the lane, he had missed 4-5 minions and was one level behind.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
The Wild Card spun elegantly, splitting into three, slicing through the minions and grazing Brand's skin.
Each time the Wild Card swept, Yu Luosheng deliberately aimed for a tricky angle, directly reducing Brand's health.
Brand's skills could only be used to clear minions, and several attempts to attack the Card Master were thwarted by the Card Master's clever positioning, barely grazing his clothes, but far less effective than the Wild Card's harassment.
"Let's look at the minion kills on both sides," the commentator began to focus on the gold income.
"Top lane, Kael has 43, while the Olaf he's facing is clearly being suppressed, with only 30 minion kills."
"Bottom lane, Garen has only 19 minion kills, being heavily suppressed. The Ashe on the other side has 45, similar to Kael in the top lane."
"Mid lane... wow, this Card Master player's basic skills are really solid! It's almost seven minutes, and he already has 60 minion kills. If I'm not mistaken, there were fewer than 60 minions in the mid lane before seven minutes, plus the F4 he cleared, meaning he missed no more than 5 minions!"
"Even if I'm not sure about the accuracy of these numbers, just look at the minion kills of the enemy Brand, which is only 43. At seven minutes, he is 17 minion kills ahead of Brand, which is very impressive!"
Many players don't pay attention to minion kills or have a concept of how many to get in a few minutes.
In fact, a 17 minion kill lead is equivalent to a kill, and with the kill from Zhao Xin earlier, Yu Luosheng's Card Master was already economically ahead of the enemy Brand, even if no more kills occurred in the mid lane.
"Now, the Card Master has his ultimate, and we don't know when he might go to support other lanes. Sigh, 4v5 is hard to play, otherwise, the Card Master flying to the bottom lane to secure a kill would have a high success rate. Unfortunately, his bottom lane teammate is a poorly developed Garen," the commentator said.
...
At around 7:30, Yu Luosheng's attention was focused on Brand, whose health was about two-thirds.
At this moment, after pushing a wave of minions, Brand began to move noticeably to the right and entered the shadow area.
Yu Luosheng's eyes immediately lit up, focusing on the narrow path between the enemy's blue buff and the mid-lane tower.
At 7:30, Yu Luosheng had been waiting for this moment!
One could say that when Yu Luosheng chose the Card Master, he had already played a fatal death card!
This card would be activated between the seventh and eighth minutes...
And then directly take the life of the enemy AP!
