041 Why isn't the jungler helping the bot lane?!
With three people surrounding one, and a total of five controls, catching a captain without flash is a sure thing!
"I'll take it! I'll take it!" Xiangguo was playing as the Spider. In human form, the Spider first used W, and then immediately used Q to damage the Captain and draw the turret's aggro.
In that instant, Liu Qingsong's Alistar immediately charged in twice, and Chen Dongqing also used his E skill to get close and start a QA combo!
Xiangguo ignored the issue of overlapping controls and directly used [Cocoon] to control the spider, then switched to the spider and pounced to bite!
The three of them combined could easily take down a captain in one hit, and Chen Dongqing secured the kill with a single basic attack.
As Xiangguo watched the captain's health bar dwindle, he used his final "Ascension" ability to easily dodge the turret's last attack and perfectly dive the turret.
"That was a brilliant gank from QG's jungler and support!" Wawa exclaimed from the commentary booth. "The captain is completely screwed now! He missed a huge wave of minions that pushed under the tower."
Miller was full of praise, "Catching Lee Sin first, then diving top lane, QG's coordinated rhythm really doesn't seem like that of a new team. To be honest, this reminds me of Samsung Blue and White in S4!"
The doll nodded and said, "In that case, Riven might not be able to hold on. Now it depends on whether Ilex can seize this advantage and lead the team to victory!"
The camera then switches to the bottom lane.
Uzi, whose support was absent, didn't dare to farm minions and had retreated to the back to kite the Krugs.
The two commentators didn't say anything when they saw this. After all, the top laner had taken so much, it was normal for the bottom laner to lose a little. As long as no one died, that was fine.
Actually, Uzi himself didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, the team had such a big advantage in the upper half of the map, which meant that the team's decision-making was correct, and as long as they could win the game, that was fine.
But the audience had a completely different feeling when they saw this scene.
I doubt it.
[Riven is a difficult champion to carry with in competitive matches, so why should we help her?]
Indeed, doesn't the bot lane ADC deserve help?
[I'm speechless. You're helping top lane instead of protecting the bot lane when there's a dog in there?]
Although it's only S6 now, which is a low point in Uzi's career, GSL is already showing signs of growth, with all sorts of idiotic comments emerging one after another.
Of course, GSL and rational dog fans are not the same species.
...
The match was still ongoing at this point.
Back home, Chen Dongqing, clutching a large sum of money, combined his longsword into the Caulfield Warhammer and then bought the Burning Gem.
With the blue cooldown reduction rune, his cooldown reduction is now as high as 27%, and with level six, he has entered Riven's power spike.
But 957 knew he could no longer fight Riven, so he immediately became timid, standing under the tower and waiting for the minions to come.
Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched this scene.
He felt he could just jump over the captain's neck, but he also felt it wasn't a sure thing.
First, it's a bit risky to directly attack a full-health captain, and second, he doesn't know the enemy jungler's location.
"Xiangguo, where is the enemy jungler?" Chen Dongqing asked.
Xiangguo shook his head: "I'm not sure. I haven't missed a single kill since the Lee Sin was just killed. Do you want me to counter-gank top lane?"
"It's okay, no need." Chen Dongqing shook his head. "They can't kill me."
After thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea of directly diving the captain. Instead, he said, "This guy in the top lane isn't leaving the tower. You should go straight into the enemy jungle. I can help you."
"Okay, sure." Xiangguo nodded. "Actually, I was just about to call you."
The jungle respawn time in the current version is 100 seconds. The F4 camp he just stole will respawn soon, and it's also the time when the red buff respawns. This is the time when invading the jungle is most profitable.
Xiangguo didn't hold back either. After the Spider finished off his own red buff, he left the blue buff untouched and headed straight for the opponent's top side of the map.
At the same time, Chen Dongqing quickly pushed the lane and headed straight for the jungle.
This blatant intrusion immediately caught WE's attention, and signals flew everywhere.
Condi glanced at the situation in the top lane, then at Riven's equipment, and decided against going.
This team fight is unwinnable.
"Come on, let's get some experience together!" Seeing that there was no one in the jungle, Xiangguo happily pulled Chen Dongqing to fight the F4 together.
After finishing the giant bird, the two turned to the red buff, and Xiangguo said again, "You can have this too. After we finish eating, let's go kill the top laner."
Chen Dongqing didn't hold back, taking the red buff with a single basic attack, and then shifted the camera to the top lane.
At this moment, the two sides' minion waves intersected in the middle of the top lane, but the captain's figure had already disappeared.
Chen Dongqing couldn't help but smile.
957 truly deserves his reputation as the best domestic top laner in S7.
Although he's still a newcomer like me, his playing style is quite solid...
At this moment, 957 was already standing in the top lane's isolated bush, looking quite calm.
Oh, am I a pig? I'm watching you two turn against me, and I'm not going to run away?
Luckily, my buddy was steady!
With no other option, unable to find the captain, Chen Dongqing had to return to the top lane, push the minion wave back up to the tower, and then work with Xiangguo to take down the Rift Herald.
The Rift Herald was only introduced in Season 6, and defeating it will drop a buff.
The hero who picks up the buff will gain Baron's Might on a single target, amplifying nearby minions, while also granting the hero a 10% damage bonus, 40 movement speed, a four-second quick recall, and 50 gold in team gold.
During Season 5, all teams were fighting around the bottom half of the map because there was a dragon there, and the top lane would usually become an isolated island, with both sides spending ten minutes farming CS in the top lane.
To avoid this situation, the designers introduced Rift Herald, mainly to give the top laner a sense of team participation in the early game.
However... the Herald stat in Season 6 is really too weak, and the benefits are minimal. If you take the Herald in the top half of the map, the enemy jungler will most likely take the Dragon in the bottom half of the map, making a one-for-one trade a huge loss.
Therefore, in the current version, even a dog wouldn't want the Vanguard, and both sides are still fighting around the Dragon.
There's only one situation where you can take the lead: when your team has a significant enough advantage that the opposing jungler isn't qualified to trade for the dragon.
For example, this game.
Condi was countered twice, losing his life once and two camps of jungle monsters the other time. Now he's only level four, clearly unable to take the dragon; anyone who comes near will die.
Chen Dongqing naturally took advantage of the situation to obtain the Rift Herald's "Eve of Doom" buff, entering his ultimate invincible form.
At this point, 957 shouldn't even think about farming lanes. Chen Dongqing went online with the buff, and the minions were immediately empowered by the Baron Nashor, quickly taking down the top lane tower.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage in the top lane, Condi vented all his anger on the bottom lane.
Seeing Uzi and Liu Qingsong in the bottom lane trembling under Condi's intimidation, even having to think twice before farming minions, many GSL players were even more displeased.
Why? Why isn't the jungler helping the bot lane? If they had, they'd probably be pushing all the way to the enemy base by now!
