Bang!

 This bullet exploded on Nidalee’s face, and at the same time, it gave the people who were watching the livestream an explosive surprise!

 This Caitlyn, she was literally performing a show!

 Moreover, it was a show that you just couldn’t understand even if you watched the entire thing unfold in front of you!

 Lianda, who was recalling back to base, watched Caitlyn’s maneuver and swallowed heavily as his finger hovered over the V key for quite a while. In the end, he didn’t press on the signal key anyway.

 What was up with today!? Don’t even mention the wild Wukong that appeared, this ADC Caitlyn was also another one. A set of operations that made you cross-eyed, one was more normal than the other, but it also revealed a confidence that even a professional LPL player like him didn’t have!

 Strange… was the strength of a Korean Diamond 1 player that strong!?

 ***

 If Shallow Dream was next to Luocheng, he would have definitely given her a thumbs up.

 The maneuver was so obvious that it put a stupid expression on Nidalee’s face.

 “It was a bit arrogant and you usually aren’t so aggressive. Could it be that these Koreans’ shameless behavior has also angered you?” Luocheng asked.

 Shallow Dream’s ADC was strong and she herself was a strong player, however, she seldom exchanged all her Summoner’s Spells just to take one kill unless it was a kill that could change the entire game. So for Shallow Dream to play such an excellent hand, Luocheng felt surprised, but at the same time, he admired that ward she had planted, to be able to even think of such details at that point of time.

 That ward that had confused Walker was very important, because the moment you Flashed across the wall, you would have lost vision of the other side and Caitlyn wouldn’t have been able to use her ulti.

 At the same time, Shallow Dream had anticipated that Nidalee would throw a javelin in her direction and had purposely stood behind the Wraiths to block off the javelin which was the key, finally taking Nidalee’s life.

 Shallow Dream was quite indifferent about Luocheng’s praise, replying lightly:

 “I needed 300 more gold to buy items.”

 Lianda’s jaw was about to hit the ground when he read this.

 She still needed 300 gold to buy items, which was why she turret-dived and killed Nidalee…

 Hearing those words said, Lianda felt that usually when he played League of Legends, he was usually already quite arrogant, however, compared to this Caitlyn…the tone she said it in, it made it feel as though killing a champion was as easy as killing a minion wave in lane!

 ***

 “F*ck, it’s really a group of crazy people in this team. Even with a mole planted within them in this situation, they’ll still be able to beat a 6 vs 4!” Lin Dong exclaimed from beside Luocheng.

 The four of them gathered together, ignoring the Top’s Hollywood acting stints. Their Mid, Jungler, and bottom lane had completely suppressed their opponents.

 For the four of them, their number of deaths was completely zero!

 At the middle lane, they were ahead in CS by 20 creeps.

 For the Jungler, his kills and assists were more than 3 times of their opponent which was already good enough, but even his CS was ahead by 10 creeps.

 As for the bottom lane, they were 2 kills ahead and 15 creeps ahead in terms of CS!

 The game was completely in their control, and looking at the situation, the opponent’s middle lane turret wouldn’t be standing for long. The gold difference between the teams would then be about 300 gold, one Dragon, one turret, and an exchange between the top lane turret against the bottom lane turret.

 A true master had a particularly strong ability to find money.

 What was this ability to find money?

 This kind of economic lead couldn’t be obtained from farming in a lane from the minion wave, and at most, you could only get ahead slightly by taking some jungle camps. However, why is it that for some people, you felt as though their development of their champions was particularly fast!?

 They would also be farming in lane to get gold, but somehow, their CS would suddenly get higher, and the numbers would only continue to increase as time went by. This was related to development pacing problems!

 There were some teamfights that were obviously impossible to fight.

 Those were the ones that you could ignore and just continue to farm another minion wave.

 Some turrets were able to be defended and you could take the chance to maintain the lane a little longer.

 After clearing the wave in lane, taking a round in the jungle area would gain you about an extra 100 gold, and this was about as much as an assist would give you, it was impossible to ignore it.

 Therefore, how to grasp this development pacing was an extremely advanced knowledge.

 As a top-tier ADC, Shallow Dream’s ability to farm for money was really first class.

 She only had 2 skills, but even before the 19 minute mark, she had already built a Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer, and Berserker’s Greaves. It was self-explanatory what kind of damage these items could deal in the early to mid-stages of the game.

 Xiao Zhuai’s items were equally luxurious, a Black Cleaver, Spirit of the Elder Lizard, and Ninja Tabis.

 As for Lianda at the middle lane, due to the fact that his items were a little bit more expensive, his Rabadon’s Deathcap came out a bit later as compared to the others.

 During this period, there were some clashes between both sides, but not a single full-out fight had happened. The enemy Top had started joining the scuffle, but with inferior items on their team and without a confident chance of winning, it was impossible for them to initiate a teamfight!

 “Give me this wave and I’ll have enough to get a Rabadon’s,” Lianda said to Shallow Dream as he glanced at the bottom lane wave.

 Shallow Dream’s items on hand were mostly completed and she naturally knew that the Mid having a Rabadon’s Deathcap in a teamfight was key.

 After Lianda took his third blue buff, he directly threw an ulti at the bottom lane, clearing the wave that Shallow Dream had let up for him. Once he was done, he recalled back to base to buy his Rabadon’s!

 Once the cap comes out, aren’t you just a deadman walking?

 Lianda cheered loudly and pinged in game, signalling that they didn’t need to play passively any longer, they could now initiate a teamfight!

 Xiao Zhuai also pinged an exclamation mark, indicating that his golden staff was hungry for some action and couldn’t be patient anymore.

 Luocheng, as the Support, also signaled that he was already more than prepared!

 A Talisman of Ascension for initiating or retreating, Mikael’s Crucible which gave extra health regeneration as well as clearing off CC, Boots of Mobility, 2 Stealth Wards, and 1 Vision Ward, these were Luocheng’s godlike items!

 ***

 The buff area was, as usual, the higher ground for teamfights to happen.

 Luocheng and the others didn’t bother to initiate any attacks because they knew that their opponents would definitely be unable to resist invading their jungle area.

 Besides, the Top who had an Academy Award was definitely so obviously acting already.

 He was following the four of them, pretending to defend the buff and looking for a chance to initiate, but he purposely exposed his location, trying to bring up a bad pace for the team.

 The four of them followed this Top, enough to let him act out his play, let him pretend as much as he wanted to!

 “I’ll go bait, you guys follow up!” The renegade used English to inform his teammates.

 “OK, VERY OK!” Luocheng, who wasn’t very good in English, gave him a lot of praise for that.

 “LOL.” Xiao Zhuai replied, expressing his praise for that bit of acting.

 The mole was actually just a Korean second team professional Top player—Mao, and he had already been harboring some resentment as to why the Jungler had not come to the top lane to assist him prior to this. Obviously, he had the intention to get rid of Xiao Zhuai.

 In order for Xiao Zhuai not to blow the cover that they were well aware that he was a mole, Xiao Zhuai had responded in very bad English saying that he didn’t understand Korean and he thought that the Top had told him not to help since the lane was already lost.

 Mao was feeling sorry for himself that he hadn’t managed to bring the Jungler down together with the top lane, so this time, he definitely had to bring the entire team down!

 Darius, so bold for someone who only had a Sunfire Cape, holding the battleaxe in his hands, stepped forward in his leather boots with his cape billowing behind him. He was facing the five enemies who were clearly lying in wait, lurking in the shadows, and without fear, he marched forward!

 Suddenly, a skill was thrown from the darkness of the fog, shining brightly. Mao hurriedly signaled for an attack to his teammates, meaning, “Hurry and go simida!”

 A flurry of skills were flung around, overlapping each other, it was a chaotic mess and clashes of sounds. When all the smoke disappeared, it meant that Darious, who had ulti-ed in, was already dead.

 Interestingly, no matter whether it was Wukong who had been in the front or the Support who should have used his own body to block anything, the two of them had initially followed Darius forward, but when they were about 800 yards away, they had stopped in their tracks…

 If you could push a teammate in League of Legends, this would have been equivalent to that when the two of them easily pushed Darius into the dark.

 “You…you guys, why didn’t you follow up!?”

 Mao was frustrated as he typed into the chat, even messing up his English!

 Luocheng and Xiao Zhuai didn’t bother looking at Darius’ corpse. The latter had wanted them to take a leap into the snake pit together, did you think they were nuts?

 Your usefulness was just to f*cking open field reconnaissance, get it!

 “We can go, Nami doesn’t have any CC. Vi used her Q-skill, and as long as you don’t get speared by Nidalee in the open field you’ll be fine!” Luocheng glanced at the enemies’ position and informed Lianda logically.

 At the same time, Luocheng also pinged the signal to attack to Shallow Dream and Xiao Zhuai.

 Xiao Zhuai was the front-liner, naturally he needed to be at the forefront. Luocheng gave him a gust of wind, boosting his speed and allowing him to get to the front.

 Luocheng himself was second in line, needing to stand in front of Caitlyn and Ziggs as he served as a front liner at the same time seeing as Xiao Zhuai’s build on Wukong was not very tanky.

 The entire formation was clearly going forward, and their opponents obviously knew that this was the wave where a teamfight was going to break out.

 The first one to make a move was their opponent—Nami!

 The Tidecaller Staff was held high in her hands and she waved it in an arc, a melodic beautiful voice singing!

 The hypnotic magical sound awakened the calm ocean, the gentle sea waters suddenly becoming wild and ferocious, aggressively tumbling and climbing, building into a gigantic tsunami tidal wave under the Vastaya’s control, surging forward!

 Xiao Zhuai’s Wukong was clever. He had made a gesture as though he was about to attack, and you could even see Wukong walking forward when suddenly, he stopped right at the place he was standing…

 This didn’t mean that he had given up his advance. It just meant that he had entered his invisible state and was getting closer to launch his assault.

 It was this move that led to Nami’s decisive act of unleashing her ulti!

 Only, when the Tidal Wave had swept through, the Wukong which they had thought was a clone moved. He turned upward, using his movements to dodge the Tidal Wave which surged past him!

 It was a fake !

 Faking was something a master ADC needed to do a lot. When a teamfight breaks out, whether it was the Mid, Top, or Jungler, they would purposely retain their skills or ulti to target the opponent’s ADC who would come forward to attack.

 As an ADC, it was impossible for you not to attack until your opponents used their skills, the situation just doesn’t allow for you to play it that way. That was why, when a fight was about to break out, a smart ADC would make a show of advancing forward, and just as the other side turned around to release their ulti or skills, turn back immediately and basically avoid any ulti!

 Xiao Zhuai was no stranger to using the faking technique, and with a press of his S key, he managed to bait out Nami’s ulti. In the face of such an aggressive offense, he easily moved, it had given such an unexpected effect.

 After evading the ulti, Xiao Zhuai still didn’t advance, he was waiting for their enemy to initiate!

 His own team had Ziggs, Galio, and Caitlyn. The three champions were all long-ranged, and they had sufficient CC to counter the other side’s CC. Seeing as their Darius was dead and they were in a 5 vs 4 situation, the enemy would definitely choose to fight. Xiao Zhuai just needed to wait a little longer and choose a more suitable chance!
