Chapter 417: Still too young.
Time ticked by, and Li Chen kept positioning himself between the blue team's first and middle bushes, spending most of his time, except for last-hitting minions, engaging in a fierce battle with Khan.
Khan also struggled, pretending to use Q to last-hit minions several times, hoping that Li Chen would attack him to draw the minions' aggro and control the minion wave back.
However, Li Chenka's basic attack rhythm was too precise. Combined, he managed to take away two-thirds of his health for free, and the minions could only watch helplessly as he was bullied without any reaction.
With the third wave of minions coming online, the minion wave completely entered the red side's half of the map. Khan's health was already half-dead, and he no longer had the right to use Q to last hit minions. He spent most of his time standing still in front of the tower.
Making Li Chen play single-player games was his last act of defiance.
However, in exchange, the Dragon Ball bot lane also had a very comfortable time, with Ashe and Braum against Twitch and Lulu, their early game pressure was definitely sufficient.
With the excavator still roaming the lower half of the area, Zet and Meiko have also entered semi-trailer mode.
However, due to the early skirmishes between the two sides, the Xuanming Elders attracted the minions' aggro, so they obviously couldn't control the lane like Li Chen.
The camera panned from bottom to top, and Miller said, "This game was relatively peaceful on both sides. There were no intense exchanges of blows on any of the three lanes, and both sides accepted that one side had an advantage and the other a disadvantage."
"But actually EDG still came out ahead. The Cho'Gath is now AFK, and C's minion auto-attacks were incredibly precise. Although Longzhu had an advantage in the bot lane, Zet could still farm minions unless they tower-dived."
Guan Zeyuan saw through Longzhu's predicament at a glance. If things continued to develop like this, EDG would still be playing four against five.
Rita chimed in: "Khan had no choice. He was being outmaneuvered by C-God's long-range attacks. Without jungle help, he couldn't lane. If he farmed like this until the late game, Vayne's damage output would be absolutely unstoppable. The only champion in Dragon Ball with single-target burst damage is this Cho'Gath."
Some players die at the start of the game but aren't buried until about twenty minutes into the match.
Khan: I've really endured too much!
[c asks: Why is there a single-player mode in the competition?]
[It's currently unknown how Dragon Ball will win.]
[Wrong, it should be that they don't know how to get back to China.]
There were no intense clashes between the two sides for the first few minutes, until the four-minute mark, when the excavator appeared in the bottom lane river, preparing to flank and help the bottom lane tower dive.
The mid-lane LeBlanc is hard to gank, and he doesn't even dare to look at the top lane, so feeding the bot lane becomes his only option.
But before Cuzz could even enter EDG's bottom half of the jungle, a bald Lee Sin player stood at the entrance to the jungle.
Factory Manager: ⌓‿⌓
Cuzz: o(╥﹏╥)o
The two locked eyes, fired an unidentified substance at each other, and then went their separate ways.
At five minutes, a fierce fight broke out in the mid lane. Scout caught Azir's E skill on cooldown, E-flashed through the minions to the enemy, and then immediately used W to step on him, preventing Azir from flashing to break the chain.
But at that moment, Cuzz suddenly emerged from the shadows behind the river wall and flashed to knock Scout away. This was clearly a deliberate baiting maneuver by Bdd.
"I'll help you!"
The factory manager shouted and appeared out of nowhere. He used W to apply a shield to Scout, then used E to flash and hit the rooted Azir, applied Q and started auto-attacking.
"This was a bait and counter-gank. Cuzz's plan was completely seen through. Azir was hit by a combo and his health dropped quickly. The root was removed, but he didn't dare to use Flash. He still had Lee Sin's Q skill on him, so he was probably going to die."
The burst damage from LeBlanc and Lee Sin was clearly more powerful, and Azir was quickly taken down by Clearlove's second Q.
Scout used W to return to his original position, escaping the excavator's attack range and barely surviving.
Cuzz's health was still good, and the factory manager wasn't interested in him. Under the pretense of helping clear the wave, he ate most of the remaining minions in the mid lane and then disappeared into the upper river.
Meanwhile, in the top lane, Li Chen was still controlling the lane, while Khan was still in a daze.
However, Khan has already reached level three, all thanks to Li Chen occasionally going to the jungle to pick up low-health monsters, giving him the opportunity to gain experience.
At the six-minute mark, Li Chen cleared the minion wave slightly, weakening the blue team's minion advantage, then turned and disappeared into a patch of grass in his own camp.
Upon seeing Li Chen disappear from the online chat, Khan began to struggle internally.
Theoretically speaking, Li Chen should go back to base to buy equipment after farming minions for so long, otherwise he won't have enough damage to take on two opponents when the excavator comes.
But he also suspected that Li Chen was hiding in the bushes waiting for him to come over, wanting to sabotage him. After all, Li Chen had become a villain in his mind, someone who would do anything to win the game.
After struggling for more than ten seconds, Khan finally decided to take two steps forward and use his skill to scout the situation.
His Q skill has a long range and can cover the entire bush. If Li Chen is really hiding in a bush, he can definitely hit him.
Without hesitation, Khan slowly moved forward, stopping at the maximum distance, and used his Q skill on the red team's grass.
The result was that no one was hit!
This made the Khan breathe a sigh of relief: "Looks like we're really home now. Hurry up and push the thread in."
But after the Khan took two steps forward, he suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something.
At the LCK commentary booth, Roaring Emperor watched Khan walk forward and said with a sorrowful expression, "Khan, Vayne has reached level six. She has invisibility, damn it! Vayne made her move. She came out from behind the mid bush and blocked Khan's retreat route."
Khan went back to base once, but only bought a pair of boots. He's three levels behind, and Vayne's damage is very high. He can't hold on much longer. Can Khan find a chance to use Flash to escape? No, Vayne is too close...
"He still got solo killed. Khan, he played it safe for six minutes, but he still couldn't escape his fate and gave away 300 gold. Vayne cleared the minion wave and went into the jungle to recall. His farm is probably unstoppable."
The LCK commentators sounded devastated, lamenting the fall of their beloved Khan.
In the hotel, Faker watched Khan get solo killed again and said earnestly, "Huni, you need to learn from this. GodC is not only skilled in mechanics, but he also has a strong grasp of heroes and even the opponent's mentality. Don't be fooled by him."
"Don't worry, Sang-hyeok-hyeok. I won't be careless. He can't fool me. The Khan is still too young."
Huni was full of confidence. He had been fooled by Li Chen too many times and felt that he had a clear understanding of Li Chen.
He would never take any risky actions under any circumstances.
He would rather leave the game running AFK than feed kills, preventing Li Chen from developing beyond the allotted time – this was his motto.
