Undefeatable – League of Legends-Chapter 440: Early Game Pressure!

Hades kept retreating, and suddenly, he dashed to the side. A shield appeared on him, allowing him to dodge the Flash Frost!

“F*ck!” cursed Yu Luocheng.

Hades had managed to get enough experience from the minion wave in front of him to get to level two!

While Flash Frost was flying towards Hades, he had still been at level one. But when that minion died at such freaking good timing, Riven immediately added a point to her other skills and managed to dodge the chunk of ice.

This annoyed Yu Luocheng but at the same time, he couldn’t help but admire the speed of Hades’ hands.

“Holy sh*t, it’s finally over!” said a spectator wearing a Teemo hat, breathing out a long sigh of relief.

Eyes wide, the thousands of people watching from the stands were left stunned and trying to process everything that just happened. Finally... finally this level one fight had ended. What an exciting and explosive match!

From the beginning, both teams had godlike control on their skill shots. There were various beautiful maneuvers, dodging, Flash and initiate plays, counter attacks, unexpected assistance from other teammates...

Who ever said that LOL competitions were boring compared to others?

When have you ever seen such an epic level one team fight?

Six to five!

To gain that one single kill advantage, both teams had fought for almost two minutes, ignoring their own lanes. The feeling after fighting that last battle was like the final stand, Mars hitting Earth, or confronting an erupting volcano!

***

The climax was finally over.

At two, almost three minutes now, both teams went to their own jungle to get the buffs. This was rarely seen in the LPL.

The score was currently at six to five. In a normal big game, someone would usually only get First Blood at about ten minutes into the game. By the twenty-minute mark, there would normally be maybe two or three kills, definitely not more than five.

But today’s match had just started and there were already eleven kills!

The speed and skillful execution of a professional player was clearly displayed in this level one fight. It was an enjoyment for all the LPL players. Watching this kind of struggle where neither side was willing to give up stirred up something inside their souls.

From this level one fight, you could really feel how desperately both teams craved for victory. Otherwise, why would they be so merciless? Once the whole team was wiped out, they still continued to fight after they respawned.

After the fight ended, both teams seemed to have calmed down temporarily. The battle just now was still fresh in everyone’s minds.

Will they continue to fight without any reserve or will they farm peacefully? The extreme level one fight must have completely reignited the flames inside of both teams, it will surely be a wonderful and exciting match!

“Report on the kills and Summoner’s,” said Yu Luocheng, his brow furrowing deeply. He began to mentally count the casualties and income.

Both teams had used most of the Summoner’s Skills, and Yu Luocheng even remembered the timing of when most of the skills had been used. The first to Flash was Annie, at around one minute and thirty seconds. Then, Riven followed, and after that was Elise...

“Charon’s Rengar still has Flash. Da Luo, be careful.”

Yu Luocheng quickly replayed the scenes in his mind, noting down a few important timings and Summoner’s Skills. Da Luo nodded his head... Rengar still had Flash, then the gank that Zhou Yan needed to focus on first was not his lane.

“Asmodai’s Flash will be ready at six minutes and fifty-eight seconds!” continued Yu Luocheng.

Asmodai’s Flash on Graves was only slower than Yu Luocheng’s by a few milliseconds, so he only needed to remember the timing of his own Flash to know when Asmodai’s would be up.

Annie’s Flash would be ready at six minutes and thirty seconds, and Asmodai’s at six minutes fifty-eight seconds.

If Zhou Yan wanted to gank the bottom lane, he had two chances to do so. One was when both sides’ wards went down, and the other was before their Flash was ready. The success rate of a gank in these two situations was extremely high!Read more chapter at vipnovel

The timing of their opponent’s Flash was extremely important to the Jungler, so Zhou Yan would usually remember it. Adding on the fact that Yu Luocheng was keeping track of where the enemy warded, Zhou Yan now had a higher chance of succeeding in his gank.

The top lane didn’t need to be ganked, his aim was more on the middle lane Riven, as well as the bottom lane Annie and Graves, who all didn’t have Flash.

Hades was like a boss at the middle lane, so it would be better to gank the bottom lane first. If you don’t have full confidence, then you should leave Hades alone.

Plus, they at least had Yu Luocheng at the bottom lane. Anivia is a champion that is stronger than expected, especially when the Jungler came to assist.

***

With his two kills, Lin Dong managed to buy another Doran’s Blade. Wu Sen didn’t get any kills, but he had assists. Hades had two kills, with which he bought an extra Doran’s Blade and Doran’s Shield. Such items would definitely cause problems to Wu Sen’s middle lane.

In this situation, it wouldn’t be easy for the Jungler to help out, because Riven’s level was higher and had better items too. Even a two on one fight would still be difficult.

Zhou Yan already had a rough outline in his mind. You can’t mess with Hades, so take care, Wu Sen. If you don’t get wrecked, that’s considered a win!

Luckily, Syndra’s range was longer, and she could depend on her skills to farm. Other Mid champions would probably have to hug turret and take what they can from there instead. If you don’t find another way to play, then your lane will be suddenly dominated without your knowledge later on.

***

Relying on the advantage he got from the items he bought, Hades was playing really well. He stood in the front of the minion wave, and Wu Sen didn’t dare to get too close.

Wu Sen could only get experience, as there wasn’t much sense in using his skills to attack Riven at this point. Riven had her E, which was a shield, and all Syndra’s skills were being used to farm at a range. With her lower level and inferior items, the gap in early farming was getting bigger and bigger.

“Wu Sen, can you hold on?” asked Yu Luocheng, glancing at the situation in the middle lane.

The level one fight ended with a score of six to five. It may look like just a one kill difference, but the most important fact was that Hades had gotten two of those kills.

Giving two kills to Riven was a huge advantage, and with a champion like her that can snowball in early game, it was like a nightmare come to life.

In this situation, Wu Sen could only resist the pressure where he could, but hopefully his gold and level wouldn’t fall behind too much...

***

At level four, the minion wave was pushed towards the turret. Wu Sen breathed a sigh of relief, it looks like he could farm peacefully for a little while.

Just as he breathed, he let out a shout in the next moment.

Elise! 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Belial’s Elise suddenly appeared from behind him!

Having already taken both buffs, Elise was now at level three!

Riven was at level four, almost level five, and with this big wave of minions at the turret, Wu Sen wouldn’t have a chance to even think about retreating.

“Oh! Turret diving, Elise has definitely picked the best move, using Riven’s pressure in the lane, and straight diving under turret to kill the Mid. Syndra doesn’t have her Flash right now, and Elise is a champion that dominates early game turret dive!” exclaimed Bao Jun.

Zhou Yan, who had been taking the Wight camp, frowned. Even he didn’t think that Belial’s Elise would choose to turret dive. Seeing Wu Sen getting pressured, and Riven killing him instantly with a combo of skills, Zhou Yan hurriedly made his way towards the middle lane...

Elise tanked the turret damage first, and once she unleashed her set of skills, she used Rappel to launch herself up into the sky after the turret landed two hits, avoiding the rest of its attacks.

Hades’ Riven pushed forward without stopping, leaving Wu Sen with no place to retreat. She unleashed her set of skills and killed him instantly!

Belial and Hades’ coordination was seamless. At only level three and four, they had completed a beautiful turret dive. Both also had a good amount of health left, with Elise at two thirds and Riven at half.

Even if Zhou Yan’s Olaf got there in time, he wouldn’t dare to make a move against these two, and would only take the experience from the minion wave. If he was careless, then he too would die miserably, just like Wu Sen.

Wu Sen had already been pressured, losing a wave of experience and gold. By the time Riven reached level six, Wu Sen would probably only be at about level four or five. If that was the case, then this lane was as good as gone...

Fortunately, Wu Sen was in a good mindset. If he died, then he died. He wasn’t overly frustrated about it. He returned to lane and used the time that Hades recalled back to his own base to hurriedly try to catch up on experience and gold.

“Here you can see that Team Skycrown’s Jungler has a lot of love for their Mid. He purposely brought down the health in the Wraiths camp and gave it to the Mid to make up for some experience,” said Bao Jun as he took note of the happenings.

Zhou Yan did this because as an elder brother, it was the only thing he could do to help Wu Sen. Going against Hades was like going against a mountain, and there was also a Jungler as strong as Belial to deal with... it was hard to blame Wu Sen for his middle lane performance, and there wasn’t much they could do.

With Hades playing too d*mn smoothly, the situation had become really grim. He now had three kills, and after recalling to base, he was sure to come out even more brutal.

Such a large amount of burst damage on Riven in early game was similar to a bug-like existence on the map. Forget about her unleashing a set of skills, your health would almost completely run out with just a few touches from her!

In this case, it was absolutely impossible for the Jungler to camp the lane. If the Jungler came, it would be giving her a double kill. Zhou Yan was wise to give up on the middle lane and let Wu Sen survive on his own, while he went to the bottom lane.

The wards on both teams had run out, and neither side had their Flash. Zhou Yan knew that the middle lane was not salvageable, so he needed to take the chance to build advantages on other lanes.

It didn’t matter much if one lane crashed, or if Belial brainlessly killed the middle lane. By sacrificing Wu Sen who attacked two of the bigger guns in the lineup, Zhou Yan could then use this chance to open up more opportunities for the other lanes. After all, LOL was a team fight-oriented game!

As for Wu Sen, he had already been mentaly prepared for this. With a 1/3 KDA, he wouldn’t be worth much gold anymore even if he died.

Wu Sen didn’t plan on taking any kills, and focused on his CS instead. Later on, he would have the same advantage as his other teammates. He would then take some kills during team fights and quickly build his items. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Wu Sen believed that Riven wouldn’t buy the Sword of Occult just for the sake of getting the stacks that weren’t worth money to him!

***

Team Skycrown had played four games in the LPL, and this was the first time they were in such a disadvantageous position.

As expected of Team Daemons, the pressure they put on Team Skycrown was really immense. You could tell just how frustrated the members of Team Skycrown were from the pinched expressions on all their faces!
