Chapter 10 Tower Climbing
With the heroes decided, Daeny gave the final instructions, "We'll take it slow, follow the plan, okay?"
Mu Chun and the others readily agreed, "OK."
In the commentary booth, MaoMao looked at the champion IG finally decided on, "Azir is really going to be played in the bot lane."
Rita immediately chimed in, "Well, Tsar is finally being used in the bot lane! We've been waiting for this for so long."
After the countdown ended, the loading screen appeared.
[Host detected to have selected a non-AD role hero; random talent selection is in progress...]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a random talent: Imperial Guard Wall]
[Imperial Wall: The Emperor of the Sands' exclusive talent, your ultimate ability, Imperial Wall, can always push back the enemy's two carries in team fights, enabling a perfect initiation.]
[Friendly reminder: Don't stand together if you have two C's!]
hiss……
Mu Chun gasped. This talent seems a bit too strong; it's bound to be a double-core build.
Welcome to Summoner's Rift!
"Okay, let's get into the game. TES is on the blue side, and IG is on the red side," Mao Mao said immediately.
Fans in the stands were shouting their support for their favorite teams.
"As you can see, IG's level 1 strategy seems a bit conservative. It seems like TheShy and Chunfeng have no intention of crossing the river," Rita commented on IG's opening.
"They probably want to swap lanes with TES. Azir is too weak and they need to avoid laning against him," Mao Mao analyzed.
But then, watching the TES team rush directly towards IG's red buff on screen, he exclaimed excitedly, "However, TES didn't think that way; they grouped up and went into the jungle to find someone!"
During IG's voice chat, TheShy, who was in the redback bush, said, "They've switched lanes."
"Okay," Mu Chun replied, then walked out of the bushes and headed straight for the bottom path.
"Tianye, come help me," Jiejie said.
"Jiejie is heading straight into Kanavi's red buff area, they're switching jungle camps, and they've even called Meiko along," Rita commented.
"Yes, TheShy went straight to mid lane too. What's 369 going to do? He'll have to teleport down there." MaoMao asked, puzzled.
On screen, neither top laner went to farm lanes. Gnar was helping Orianna suppress Akali in the mid lane, while Rumble was helping Blade of the Ruined King farm jungle camps.
The game continued until both AD carries pushed the minion waves to the turrets.
"We can't play like this. IG is letting Azir farm, but Varus can't compare to Azir in the late game. TES's lineup can't let Azir farm like this." Mao Mao was still wondering.
Until the teleportation light appeared at the TES bottom lane tower.
"369 still teleported down, not wanting the Tsar to develop like this, but he's only level one," Rita said.
In IG voice chat.
Seeing that the jungler and support had already cleared the red buff area on the minimap, Mu Chun immediately asked, "Can we come over? He's only level one, we can cross him."
As he spoke, he placed two sand soldiers next to the minion wave. Rumble went forward to last hit the minions, but was instantly stabbed by both sand soldiers. He managed to last hit the minions, but his health was also reduced a bit.
"369 is in so much pain, it's pure torture," Mao Mao said sympathetically as she watched the scene.
"And it seems like IG is going to tower dive, but Meiko's Alistar is only level one," Rita laughed.
The comments section was filled with skepticism.
"Today's number is 333."
"Is this Tsar the same person as the AD from a few days ago?"
……
At this moment, Jiejie's Scorpion and Meiko's Minotaur were already behind the turret.
In the IG voice message, Jiejie spoke very quickly, "I'll take the hits first."
Mao Mao said, "369, we're going to tower dive. Let's get as many minions as we can."
On screen, Skarner uses his E skill to precisely push Rumble through the turret, then turns and pins him against the wall next to the turret.
Rumble was instantly stunned, and the turret attacked Skarner with its Q.
Then, Meiko's Alistar appeared and knocked him off the turret with a W.
Mu Chun immediately released the Sand Soldiers and stabbed Rambo fiercely.
All three fired at the same time.
"Bang!"
369 used Flash to try and return to the turret.
However, Mu Chun immediately used Q, and two Sand Soldiers rushed towards Rumble, slowing him down and stabbing him again, stacking Lethal Tempo to its maximum.
Scorpion immediately followed up with Q, and Boulder accurately hit the slowed Rumble, killing him.
[IG Jiejie kills TES 369]
First Blood!
In the IG voice chat, Mu Chun excitedly exclaimed, "Nice!"
"IG's teamwork was absolutely perfect! 369 delivered a fatal flash!" MaoMao exclaimed excitedly.
"But it's a pity that the head didn't go to the Tsar," Rita added with a hint of regret.
On screen, Varus and Riven in the top lane immediately chose to recall.
"TES' bot lane duo has recalled; they're probably going to switch back."
"But TheShy is only now returning to the top lane to farm, so I can only say he seems a bit unfamiliar with the game," MaoMao said.
In the bottom lane, with Varus and Riel coming online, the situation instantly reversed, and Varus pushed back the minion wave.
Mu Chun clicked his tongue as he looked at the current situation. Without the [Midas Touch] talent, it was difficult to last-hit any minions when being pushed back into lane.
[Golden Touch] In the first game without him, I miss him.
"Now the two sides are really evenly matched, but this is making things difficult for the Tsar, as he's having a hard time farming lane minions," Mao Mao said.
Rita nodded, "Yes, and 369 helped Kanavi speed up his jungle clearing. In addition, Jiejie spent time tower diving earlier, so Kanavi has now finished clearing his blue buff area and entered Jiejie's jungle."
On the screen, Kanavi's Blade of the Ruined King has entered IG's blue buff area, and the minion wave in the bottom lane is about to push into the tower.
"It feels like they're going to tower dive, we can't control the bottom lane minion wave at all." Mao Mao's tone became tense.
"Then let's see how IG handles this tower dive." Rita nodded.
TES Voice.
Crisp gave the order, "Go ahead, go ahead, Kanavi, come on."
"Kill the cow, and leave," JackeyLove said.
The minion wave has reached the tower, and Kanavi is ready to dive.
IG voice messages.
Jiejie immediately abandoned the monsters she was farming, saying, "I can get there in time."
"Let's stall for a bit. We'll wait for the jungler to come. They'll definitely gank you first. I'll help you absorb some of their skills," Mu Chun said.
Meiko nodded. "Okay."
On screen, Mu Chun's Tsar abandoned the minion wave and turned to find the Ruined King.
"Chunfeng went to find Kanavi, Jiejie is still leaning on him, is TES really going to overtake them?" Mao Mao's voice suddenly rose.
"Kanavi emerged from the scorched earth, gathering power over a thousand years, and struck Chunfeng's Tsar directly," Rita's voice followed.
During the TES voice chat, the moment W hits Azir, Kanavi speaks rapidly, "Azir, look at Azir."
"Bang!"
Crisp's Ryle immediately followed up with Q-Flash, hitting Mu Chun's Azir and dealing additional damage with her E.
Upon seeing this, the Ruined King immediately followed up with his Q, applied the mark, and then immediately launched a basic attack.
"TES' jungler and support coordinated to reduce Chunfeng's Azir to only half health," MaoMao said rapidly.
Rui immediately used her W skill, attempting to follow up with crowd control.
"Bang!"
The moment the control effect wore off, Mu Chun immediately used Flash to return to the tower.
"Chunfeng used Flash, TES's control combo failed, and Meiko's Alistar knocked his brother away. TES's tower dive is going to fail!" Mao Mao said excitedly.
"And Jiejie has already arrived," Rita added.
In the IG voice message, Jiejie immediately spoke up, "I've arrived."
