Chapter 71 Seizing the Initiative
Chapter 71 Seizing the Initiative
As soon as they arrived in the mid lane, the supports from both sides went to the side lanes to provide support and set up vision at resource points.
At this moment, only Twisted Fate and Jhin are in the mid lane.
When Mu Chun logged in, he was surprised to find that Jin hadn't retreated.
You look down on me, Siren?
He tried to push forward with his cards, but Jhin still didn't retreat.
ppgod switched to the mid lane and saw, "Why don't you retreat? He's using Siren."
Leave shook his head, his tone full of mockery, "No need, what damage can his Siren card do? Do you think he's Kai'Sa?"
Even as the ashes were seen, they did not retreat.
Mu Chunbing stopped replenishing his cards and immediately moved them forward.
He looks down on me. Although the card damage is indeed not high, I can only roughly know how much better I am than you.
But it's wrong of you not to be afraid of me at all.
He caught Jhin's last-hit animation and unleashed a basic attack.
Then attack again, followed by the blue card and the Siren.
Jhin was instantly hit with a huge amount of damage.
"Holy crap!" Leave yelled. "His damage is that high?"
Immediately, he manipulated the Jhin A card, triggering Fleet Foot to accelerate his retreat.
But when Twisted Fate landed his final basic attack, the damage from his E skill also landed on him.
Finally, when the card couldn't land an A, he used Q to finish off the opponent and deal the last bit of damage.
After clearing the lane, Mu Chun pushed the lane into the tower and took the tower armor.
Rookie's voice suddenly came through, "TheShy, let's switch lanes. You go face Jayce."
Mu Chun glanced at the roadside; the positioning hadn't changed.
However, after Karma was solo killed, she basically lost the initiative in the lane.
Meatballs and Taliyah are not easy to deal with.
"I can," TheShy said.
The two then switched lanes, with Taliyah moving to the top lane and Karma moving to the bottom lane.
The card has already happily finished two layers of tart crust.
Mu Chun glanced at the situation on the top lane. After Taliyah was substituted in, she had a great advantage, and Wolf Mother almost dared not go forward.
More importantly, Vi and Brown are also in the top half of the bracket.
He maneuvered his cards towards the top lane, thinking, "I can gank top, wait for me."
Upon hearing this, Rookie felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at the minion wave, seemingly sensing that this wave was destined not to belong to him.
Guan Zeyuan, observing the movements of both sides from a god-like perspective, noted, "Both junglers and supports are eyeing the top lane, and Twisted Fate is also moving towards it."
"Yes, Twisted Fate's ultimate is only about ten seconds away, and NIP can't defend against it," Rita said.
Soon, the card's ultimate ability was off cooldown.
Mu Chun immediately activated his ultimate skill and flew to the top lane.
The wolf mother landed with a yellow card, her teammates followed up with crowd control, and she was instantly killed without being able to move.
[IG Rookie kills NIP shanji]
[NIP's Doinb kills IG's TheShy]
Rita said, "Both top laners died almost simultaneously, and Jhin seemed to be able to take down tower plates in the mid lane."
Guan Zeyuan shook his head and said, "I can't eat it, the cards have a T."
Then, looking at the screen, he raised his voice, "But it seems like Twisted Fate doesn't intend to teleport back to mid. This wave of minions in the top lane depends on whether Rookie can steal a few more."
Mu Chun remembers it clearly: when killing the Wolf Mother, Taliyah used her E skill, and without the AOE, the entire area of effect was mine.
Rookie had a premonition and tried his best to maintain his senior status. "Mu Chun, save a few for me."
Mu Chun nodded and said "okay," but her hands did not stop moving at all.
He smoothly took down all the soldiers and was about to leave when the next wave of soldiers arrived.
Who... put this soldier in front of me?!
Rookie sounded impatient; he had just gotten a minion. "Muchun, stop eating, hurry back to mid lane."
Jiejie then spoke up, "Stop eating, go back and guard the central tower."
"Understood, understood," Mu Chun said, taking back the minion wave once again.
I'll eat the line; that'll cost me an extra twelve yuan, maximizing my economic benefit.
However, he still left three back row soldiers, only managing to take out the front row soldiers and the artillery.
Jhin in the mid lane had already pushed the lane into the tower, so he immediately teleported back to the mid lane.
I also managed to soak up some experience from the last three soldiers.
Guan Zeyuan suppressed a laugh, "The card is finally gone, Jhin can only take one layer at most, and Braum is also leaning in."
Rita nodded in agreement, her tone tinged with a smile, "Yes, and after Twisted Fate ganked top lane, he gained a two-thousand-gold lead in gold against his lane opponent."
Doinb noticed the teleport in the mid lane and reminded him, "Leave and retreat, don't be greedy."
Twisted Fate teleported in, exactly fourteen minutes later, and Etahan's Lair appeared on the top lane.
Watching Jhin retreat, Mu Chun had no choice but to clear the minion wave under the tower.
The minion wave then pushed out again, and NIP's mid-lane tower was in grave danger of losing health.
Sixteen minutes in, the Herald spawns, and the third dragon, the Fire Dragon, is about to spawn as well.
Doinb glanced at the current situation. Both sides were just one large jungle monster away from securing the first jungle monster, and the first tower was clearly in IG's favor.
They, NIP, now have a first blood advantage.
Immediately, he gave the order, "Let's go first and stall them, don't let them take it. We have the initiative. Defend the mid-lane tower, and we'll have a chance to push down the bottom lane."
"We'll defend the mid tower and the Rift Herald, and you'll try to gain the upper hand in the bottom lane, right?" Aki asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Yes!" Doinb nodded.
Seeing Jin stubbornly defending the turret, Mu Chun suggested, "Let's send in the vanguard and then charge into the first turret."
"Okay," Jiejie replied, manipulating Vi to wake up Vanguard.
"The Vanguard is crucial now. NIP definitely doesn't want IG to get it, and Jayce is also trying to steal the first tower in the bottom lane," Guan Zeyuan said.
"But IG is taking down the Rift Herald very quickly, and NIP's people are still rushing to take it down. It feels like they're going to take it down, and Taliyah is constantly pushing the top lane tower." Rita judged by looking at the screen.
Aki stared in shock at the speed at which the Vanguard's health was dropping. "They're killing us so fast."
Doinb took a moment to glance at the situation at the Dragon Pit, "You guys just defend the middle tower. In twenty seconds, Karma will be out of health, and when the next wave of minions comes, I can push it down."
Vi saw the Herald's Eye and headed towards the mid lane.
Mu Chun glanced at the top lane. NIP's players had all gone to defend the mid lane. Taliyah was taking down the tower on her own in the top lane without any pressure, but she was a bit slow.
He then maneuvered his cards towards the top lane.
Meiko switched to the bottom lane and glanced around. "Muchun, you come to the mid lane. TheShy, stall for a bit, it'll only take about ten seconds."
"Okay," TheShy said, interrupting his recall to defend the bottom lane tower again.
"They're about to send out the vanguard, but why isn't Twisted Fate going to the mid lane?" Guan Zeyuan wondered.
Mu Chun glanced at the situation again. If the bottom lane dragged on any longer, the mid lane Herald would probably be punished as soon as it came out. NIP was also constantly pressuring the position.
There wasn't enough time for the card to reach the top lane.
Immediately, he pressed R, and Twisted Fate activated his ultimate and flew to the top lane.
"Twisted Fate used his ultimate, he flew to the top lane and started taking down the tower with Taliyah!" Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose.
"Besides, the bottom lane tower has less health, so Jayce will probably take it down first," Rita chimed in.
Doinb looked at the Twisted Fate suddenly flying to the top lane, his tone somewhat impatient, "I should be faster than them."
"I won't give up the Vanguard; you guys push the top lane," Jiejie said.
At this moment, the director simultaneously showed footage of both the upper and lower roads.
The two turrets have roughly the same health, but the one on the top lane has slightly more.
Jayce looked at his W, switched to hammer form, and started hammering the tower while tanking Karma's damage.
In the top lane, Twisted Fate used his blue card, and with his high attack speed and Taliyah's damage, the turret's health dropped very quickly.
Both towers were almost simultaneously reduced to low health.
