Chapter 91

"Nothing much has happened on the top and bottom lanes; it seems the Zilean and Jayce in the mid lane have been interacting quite frequently!"

"Zilean started with a mana bottle and health potions. According to common sense, Jayce should be more dominant at levels 2 and 3, after all, Jayce has six skills. However, with Zilean's substantial supply, Jayce, who started with a long sword and two health potions, didn't gain much of an advantage."

In the mid lane, Yang Ying's Zilean played very aggressively and confidently, frequently engaging in skirmishes with Jayce at levels 2 and 3.

Although Zilean was at a disadvantage in each skirmish, he had too many recovery items. Jayce, who started with a long sword and two health potions, didn't gain much of an advantage.

...

The bottom lane was very calm, with both sides steadily last-hitting minions without any major skirmishes.

The support is the only role with the time to pay attention to battles in other lanes. When Yu Luosheng saw the red attack signal flashing next to his teammate's avatar on the left side of the screen, he knew a fight had broken out in the mid lane!

"FIRST BLOOD!!!!"

Soon, the first blood was secured! The green avatar indicated that a teammate had taken the first blood.

This first blood was taken by Huang Yu, who played Zilean very aggressively. Xiaodao's Prince positioned himself in the shadows, waiting to ambush Zilean as he advanced.

After being hit by the red buff, Zilean didn't even use his flash, accepting his fate and conceding the first blood.

"Beautiful! The Blood Team secured the first blood first! The 400 gold will be very beneficial for Jayce's development in the mid lane. The Dawn Team's Zilean player was ultimately too careless," the commentator said.

Since Jayce started with a long sword, after securing this 400 gold, he could return to base and almost immediately purchase a Brutalizer.

With a Brutalizer, Jayce would definitely have an advantage in the mid lane against Zilean.

"That's not much. Let me wait and ambush him again; this Zilean will be finished," Xiaodao said confidently.

If Zilean is suppressed early on and doesn't get any kills in the early to mid game, he will be completely useless in the late game. Xiaodao knew the enemy mid lane AP was strong, so he decided to focus on ambushing him!

Yu Luosheng, hearing Xiaodao's words, pressed the TAB key to check the minion kills in the mid lane.

Seeing the minion kill count, Yu Luosheng immediately frowned.

Zilean had 5 more minion kills than Jayce!

Zilean, being a melee champion, had a much harder time last-hitting minions compared to Jayce. However, his continuous harassment was very effective, and he was actually leading in minion kills...

Being killed in lane, considering various factors such as jungle support and champion counters, doesn't necessarily mean the one who was killed is weaker. However, if one can still lead in minion kills while being at a clear disadvantage, this is a clear indicator of skill!

"Huang Yu, pay attention to your minion kills," Yu Luosheng reminded Huang Yu.

Huang Yu was now 10 minion kills behind the ADC. Normally, the mid lane should have more minion kills than the bottom lane. The fact that he was behind indicated that his gold income was being suppressed by Zilean's harassment.

...

The bottom lane remained calm. Apart from placing a ward at the start, Yu Luosheng didn't place many more.

This wasn't because he was intentionally putting the bottom lane in danger, but because the bear jungler would have a hard time being effective in the bottom lane unless he flanked from behind.

Lux's Q beam and Caitlyn's E trap can effectively prevent the bear jungler's ganks.

By placing fewer wards, Yu Luosheng could purchase the Philosopher's Stone earlier than the enemy support.

For his next item, Yu Luosheng went straight for Kage's Lucky Hand. His Lux support playstyle focused on quickly completing these two gold-generating items.

These two items are very beneficial for Lux. The Philosopher's Stone provides high sustain, while Kage's Lucky Hand increases her ability power, giving Lux strong harassment capabilities and some burst damage.

If the support in the bottom lane is Lux, never underestimate her damage. Once she reaches level 6, a standard Lux combo can easily take out more than half of the enemy ADC's health!

...

Xue Haiyang was taking advantage of the moment when the enemy support, Sona, was out of mana to pressure the enemy. Suddenly, a strong sense of bloodshed came from the mid lane...

Yu Luosheng quickly switched his view to the mid lane.

"DOUBLE KILL!!"

However, when he switched, the system immediately announced that Zilean had secured a double kill!!

Yu Luosheng frowned. From the positions of their deaths, it was clear that Prince was ambushed by the enemy bear jungler.

The bear's counter-gank ability is very strong. Once the enemy used their skills prematurely, the bear could easily take on the damage from both and continue the chase.

Moreover, the enemy jungler was very smart, giving both kills to Zilean...

This level 6 double kill immediately made Zilean very strong!

Looking at the minion kills again, Zilean's count was still even with Jayce. This meant that the mid lane would be at a complete disadvantage moving forward.

...

Bad news continued to come in. Less than a minute later, Xiao Tongtong's Alchemist was killed by Riven and the bear, changing the kill count from 1-0 to 1-3.

"The Dawn Team's jungler performed exceptionally well, securing three kills for his team in just one minute! This is a bear with a keen sense of smell!" the commentator remarked.

Xiao Tongtong had a grim expression as he watched a large wave of minions enter the tower.

"Damn, I thought he would return to base, but I didn't expect him to come to the top lane with that little health," Xiao Tongtong muttered.

The Dawn Team's jungler had only one-third of his health left after the mid lane skirmish. Normally, he would return to base to buy items, but he suddenly appeared in the top lane, catching Xiao Tongtong's Alchemist off guard.

The bear's passive healing is one-third, and with his remaining one-third health, he effectively had two-thirds of his health. This amount of health didn't require a return to base, but Xiao Tongtong didn't realize this.

It must be said that the enemy jungler had a deep understanding of the bear, daring to gank the top lane Alchemist with such low health.

...

"Xue Haiyang, when we reach level 6, we'll look for an opportunity to take out Sona. Be sure to avoid Verus's stun," Yu Luosheng said.

"Alright, but you need to stun Sona," Xue Haiyang replied.

Yu Luosheng nodded.

During the bottom lane matchup, Yu Luosheng hardly used his Q beam stun, not because he lacked confidence in his skill, but because even if he did, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

But after level 6, things are different. Lux's level 6 burst is very powerful, and Sona, being a tank support, has high armor but not much magic resistance.

Xue Haiyang, being smart, knew Yu Luosheng wanted to kill Sona, so he deliberately whittled down Sona's health.

Seeing the opportunity, Yu Luosheng intentionally made a positioning mistake.

Sure enough, as an aggressive support, Sona couldn't resist. She stepped out of the brush and used her stun on Yu Luosheng's Lux.

"Let's look at the bottom lane... The Blood Team's support Lux made a positioning mistake..." the commentator quickly switched the view to the bottom lane.

For a moment, everyone in the audience became more alert.

The bottom lane had been so calm that many people doubted whether there was really a god-tier Card Master in the bottom lane.

But now, the action was about to begin, and everyone's eyes lit up!!
