Chapter 31: Shy Bro's Every Game is a Massacre
Xiao Tian's thinking was extremely clear; he could see the situation after level three at a glance.
Given YM's level 1 defense, the upper half of YM's territory is practically an empty city, making it impossible not to invade.
"I'm afraid that won't work. He's a demon queen; I'd definitely be pinned down in the front."
"You can only gain lane control after reaching level three. At most, we can try to slow him down when he goes to the jungle."
"Or, let's see what he chooses. I'll control the line card. If he really ignores the line and goes to help, he'll definitely lose a lot." Zuo Shou thought for a moment and gave Xiao Tian his answer.
Considering all scenarios, if Xiaotian wants to invade, his best option is to let the line through.
Hearing the response from the left hand, Xiao Tian frowned slightly. He had also thought of this, but what if no one cooperated to enter the jungle?
If the intrusion goes smoothly, the excavator will most likely arrive right in front of him just as he finishes killing the toad.
A level 3 excavator has an overwhelmingly strong chasing ability and is also better than Graves in a one-on-one fight. Even a fully stacked passive "pure man" would probably be no match for him and would be knocked out.
If you lose your Flash, it will be difficult to establish an invasion rhythm later on. It's easy for the Excavator to wipe you out in one wave when you try to attack.
"Um, I can come."
"no problem!"
Xiao Tian was pondering whether he should play it safe and just farm his own jungle area, doing the usual jungle clearing.
A youthful voice rang in his ears, and TheShy slowly said, "I'm level two with wired connections."
TheShy's Chinese is getting better and better, but it still sounds rather brief when he speaks it.
The meaning was perfectly clear, and Xiao Tian immediately understood, "Really?"
"If you had control of the line, things would be much simpler."
Xiaotian envisioned a jungle route of F6-Blue Buff-Gromp.
After you finish defeating the frog, or while you're on your way, the excavator will arrive. At that point, your best option isn't to get close to the mid laner.
Instead, they should go to the top lane river. If TheShy has lane priority, he can easily support them.
"Then I'll just buy it!"
"But is it really possible to gain control of the line?"
"Poppy seems to be two levels strong."
In response to Xiaotian's question, TheShy nodded slightly and replied, "Definitely!"
Time passed slowly, and the director kept focusing the camera on the top lane, as was his habit, to see how TheShy performed.
In the live stream right now, everyone is still discussing the possibility of playing Titan top lane.
"This feels really hard to play. Isn't Titan's Q countered by Poppy?"
"Moreover, he's a very clunky champion. After level six, he's almost guaranteed to be taken away by Poppy's ultimate, which means you're missing a player in team fights."
"Yeah, this hand feels better against a big tree, Sion, or even a Malphite than against a Titan."
"I think TheShy should just pick Vayne and crush the opponent."
In the live stream, without exception, no one thought that Titan was a good choice for top lane; in their eyes...
Titan is ultimately just a support hero.
However, when the director focused the camera on the road, the next three minutes completely overturned most people's common sense.
TheShy controlled Nautilus, using his E skill repeatedly to harass Poppy without taking damage, while simultaneously pushing the minion wave and easily suppressing Poppy.
On the other hand, Poppy had absolutely no chance to fight back; even getting a touch on Titan was a pipe dream.
Even if you're caught in the downtime of Titan's E skill, you can still force a hit on Titan and land Grasp of the Undying + Q.
TheShy didn't hold back at all, and immediately used A to trigger his passive, controlling Poppy, and then used AQA.
After a complete overhaul, he's just as good as Poppy.
"This guy's Titan proficiency is that high too?"
"His E skill's range is always perfect; even at close range, he can use his passive to block me and gain more health!"
"No, we can't do another blood transfusion."
Clowz looked frustrated. LSPL opponents, in general, are at most good at playing one type of hero.
I thought TheShy's mastery of light warriors, coupled with his long-range AD carry role, was already his limit.
Who would have thought that someone could play Titan top lane so well?
"Haha, the enemy top laner is already panicking!"
"With TheShy's talent, as long as he puts in the effort, he can definitely master any champion."
"Does the opposing team really think he can't play Titan top lane?"
Lin Kong laughed. From God's perspective, TheShy completely outclassed Clowz in handling the first three waves of minions.
Clowz was clearly trying to test TheShy, and look what happened.
After being completely crushed in lane by TheShy, all he could do was stand back and watch the minion wave push forward.
"You reap what you sow!"
"Now, in the jungle, Xiaotian can punch through the excavator with one punch."
"Two free jungle camps." Lin Kong looked at the minimap. Xiao Tian's Graves was stuck in the top lane tri-bush, obviously having already devoured the Gromp.
Marilyn rushed over from behind and tried to use her Q skill to pull the blue buff over so they could farm it together.
He used Q to teleport underground but hit nothing, and his expression immediately turned sour.
"Oh no, our jungle has been invaded."
"Top lane, is this even watchable?!"
"No, that won't do!"
"Mid laner, come help me!"
"We can't let him leave, he's on the frog!!!" Marilyn frantically pinged the signal, glancing at the top lane. He knew very well that the top laner didn't have lane priority, so supporting would be slow.
The mid laner has lane priority, so LeBlanc needs to move quickly to the river to help him gank Graves.
Otherwise, if Xiaotian were allowed to go back so easily, Graves could go home to buy more items and then clear his jungle.
You can ruin yourself just by farming jungle camps with Graves; that absolutely cannot happen.
"Got it! I'm coming right away, I have the minion wave." Viper responded quickly upon hearing that something had happened in the jungle, using his W skill to push the minion wave over.
They then immediately rushed upstream to kill Xiao Tian in the river.
From the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo, with a god-like perspective, clearly saw the layout on both sides, and a war was about to unfold in the river!
"Graves is invading YM's upper jungle. He just finished clearing Tahm Kench, but can he escape?"
"The excavator has already surrounded us, and LeBlanc is on her way. Graves is in big danger this time."
"Titan is coming in first, but it's a 2v3 situation, Zed is having a hard time getting close."
Wang Duoduo quickly summarized the current situation for the audience, providing a clear and detailed analysis.
Marilyn arrived very quickly, about one or two seconds faster than Xiaotian predicted.
"You used Q to scout and found the blue buff wasn't there, so you came straight over?"
"She's still smart."
"Shy, don't worry too much about me. Just make sure Poppy doesn't come. LeBlanc is also coming. I'll use Flash to see if I can escape."
The excavator arrived about two seconds ahead of schedule, but the plan changed, making a safe retreat impossible.
The only thing we can do is try to see if we can get away by flashing the lights.
After defeating the toad, Xiaotian immediately stuck to the wall and used his E skill to reach the river, where Marilyn immediately gave chase.
The tunnel was dug right in front of Xiao Tian. Without hesitation, Xiao Tian immediately used Flash.
Marilyn thought for a moment but still didn't Flash to chase. LeBlanc hadn't arrived yet, and Flashing directly at her could easily lead to trouble, especially with Nautilus right next to her!
"Damn it, we have no choice but to let him go."
"We don't need to rely on the middle lane anymore."
Marilyn cursed under her breath, wanting nothing more than to berate the top laner for not helping to watch the jungle at the start of the game.
This wave doesn't yet have lane control.
Otherwise, how could Graves have escaped with just one Flash?
As they were talking, Viper's face darkened, and he shouted into the microphone, "It's not a question of whether I'm relying on him or not!"
"Come here and lean on me!"
Hearing Viper's angry roar, Marilyn quickly switched the screen to Viper's side.
Following his plan, the enchantress went directly to the river, and is now right in the middle of the river.
Behind her was Zed on the left, wielding twin blades and closing in on the Enchantress.
Viper's LeBlanc had only a little over 100 health left. Without hesitation, ZuoShou flashed and auto-attacked, followed by Ignite.
The Enchantress reacted a little too slowly and failed to use Flash, resulting in her instant death!
"First Blood!"
As a female voice echoed through Summoner's Rift, the first kill of the game occurred.
"cinnabar!"
Two words, light and airy, came through the KG microphone.
