Oh no, this alliance writer has really surpassed Lee Sang-hyeok!

Chapter 11 Why aren't they being so ruthless in this year's competition?

At this point, everyone in the EDG club became interested.

Although Lu Chen's move to secure level 2 wasn't particularly difficult, most people couldn't have caught Faker's LeBlanc's W skill, Shadow Step, and landed an E-A combo the instant he stepped in.

After all, LeBlanc immediately went back after stepping on W, and most people wouldn't be able to react in time. Lu Chen was able to seize this opportunity, which at least shows that his reaction speed is not bad.

Furthermore, if Faker hadn't lost the MSI in S5, his professional win rate with LeBlanc would still be 100%. You could say that LeBlanc is one of Faker's most reliable champions.

"This means I can't gank mid at level two." Mingkai frowned. The mid lane minion wave was gradually pushing forward, and since he couldn't gank mid at level two, he could only farm the jungle.

But Mingkai still had a plan. After finishing the red buff, he didn't immediately use Sonic Wave to attack the Krugs. Instead, he went to the F6 camp and placed wards in the bottom river to prevent Lu Chen from being ganked.

From the vision provided by their support at the start of the game, they were able to detect Peanut's jungle route: starting with blue buff and clearing from bottom to top. Although there was no red buff and Olaf was not level 6 and had Ghost, it was unrealistic for him to gank in the early game.

However, given Peanut's reputation as a carnivorous jungler, Mingkai still helped by placing a ward, hoping that Peanut might come over. If he could flash and Q Yasuo, at least he could trade a flash and relieve the pressure in the mid lane.

As for Olaf's Flash in the early game, it's not that important. By the time he reaches level 6, Flash's cooldown will be ready.

At the same time, Lu Chen was unaware that so many people were watching him. He was focused on Faker's LeBlanc every move. With the boost from the sword, Lu Chen felt that he had become much stronger.

After securing level 2, they immediately pushed forward, crossing the minion wave, not wanting LeBlanc to stay safely in the back and farm experience.

Q-soldier charging up wind is a deterrent to Faker.

"Sang-hyeok, what are you afraid of? Go and hit him."

At this very moment, inside the SKT club, Bang and Wolf were egging him on, while Faker adjusted his glasses, looking thoughtfully at his experience bar.

He'll be at level two soon. Although Yasuo has the Wind skill, he also has W.

If you can use W to dodge Yasuo's wind and maintain a safe distance, Yasuo won't be able to hit you with QE, and you can use LeBlanc's long range advantage to catch Yasuo and auto-attack.

Without Wind Wall, after upgrading and learning E, you can still cast a chain attack. Your own minion wave will be cleared soon, and Yasuo won't even have a chance to use E to create distance. You'll definitely get hit by the second part of his chain.

The Thunderlord's Decree will be triggered, and even if Yasuo has a shield, his health will drop drastically. If he starts with a Doran's Blade, the only health potion Yasuo has will be destroyed, and the disadvantage of failing to reach level 2 will be reversed in the blink of an eye.

Just do it!

Faker was very confident in his strategy and skills, and immediately controlled LeBlanc to move forward. Watching LeBlanc's movements, Lu Chen immediately became vigilant, and his brain worked at lightning speed.

"Trying to use W to dodge the wind? Then level up to 2 in the middle of the fight and catch me off guard?"

Lu Chen saw through Faker immediately, but he wasn't intimidated. He decided to play along and see who had the better skills!

Seeing the whirlwind about to disappear from his hand, Lu Chen knew he couldn't wait any longer. After checking LeBlanc's health, an idea immediately came to him. He stood on the left side of the mid lane, activated the "Left and Right Kings" talent, and marked Faker as a weakling!

At this moment, Lu Chen felt his mind become clearer, and the Enchantress's movements became slower under his retina.

In an instant, Yasuo raised his arm high, a sign that he was about to blow a gust of wind, and Faker keenly caught this small movement, decisively using his W to the side and forward.

This way, you can avoid Yasuo's wind attack and close the distance, so Yasuo can't hit you with his Q, but you can hit him with your auto-attacks.

It's too late to say, then soon!

LeBlanc suddenly vanished from her spot, appearing in front of Yasuo with a flash of white light, having already leveled up to level 2.

But the next second, Faker's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief!

In the mid lane, LeBlanc had just used her W dash when she was blown up by Yasuo's gust of wind, catching Faker and his teammates off guard!

"Damn it!" Faker exclaimed, genuinely shocked by Lu Chen's prediction. He never expected that Lu Chen would see right through him.

With the delay caused by the knockback, Lu Chen could take the opportunity to close the distance with the Demoness.

Step forward and slash!

In Lu Chen's hands, Yasuo became a wanderer, charging headlong towards LeBlanc. His early-game passive stacks of 4 stacks made his Sprint Slash damage higher than his Q skill Steel Tempest, instantly closing the distance to LeBlanc, which immediately threw Faker off balance.

Immediately after learning E, Faker used both E and W in two stages. On the screen, a long, narrow chain swept across Summoner's Rift. Just when Faker thought the wave was over,

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he decisively used his Flash, not only passing through the Demoness's chains but also getting closer to her once again.

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Faker won't use Flash!"

Lu Chen was somewhat familiar with Faker's personal habits.

Faker has a firm grip on Flash. While sometimes it does come in handy, allowing you to escape with a sliver of health without having to use Flash, other times, failing to use Flash immediately becomes the start of a mistake.

Seeing Lu Chen flash and kill again, Faker didn't panic much. He simply retreated obediently, with the turret behind him. He trusted his damage calculations.

Even though Lu Chen had lit the fire, it wasn't enough to kill him, and he had already taken the red medicine.

"This guy is too hasty; he's already exploded."

Even as he retreated, Faker didn't forget to joke with his teammates, seemingly quite nonchalant.

"Normally speaking, the damage isn't enough! But sometimes... you never know."

Lu Chen's lips curled up, his talent Fervor of Battle continued to trigger, his basic attacks would carry extra damage, Yasuo's blade kept slashing at LeBlanc, followed by another Steel Tempest downwards!

Having completely predicted LeBlanc's movement, Faker's health bar was rapidly decreasing, causing Bang and Wolf, who were standing next to him, to become slightly worried. Wolf even asked in confusion, "Sang-hyeok, aren't you going to Flash yet?!"

"Need not!"

Faker spoke in a deep voice, full of confidence, but then he immediately froze when he saw Yasuo raise his blade.

The words "critical hit" appeared quietly on the screen. With just this one hit, his Demoness's health was about to be depleted!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Faker was a little stunned. He had calculated many things, but he hadn't considered that Lu Chen had equipped five 1% critical strike runes, which, combined with Yasuo's passive, amounted to a 10% critical strike chance.

After using A so many times, it's time to unleash some power!

The instant LeBlanc escaped back into the tower, Steel Tempest struck again. Seeing his LeBlanc reduced to a sliver of health, Faker breathed a sigh of relief.

Why is playing ranked games so stressful?

I didn't feel this much pressure even when I was playing in the World Championship this month.

Fortunately, Lu Chen used both of his summoner spells but still didn't kill him. Although he lost some minion waves, Lu Chen had Teleport, and after using Teleport to return to lane, he was the one who killed Lu Chen.

"Kingslayer".

Faker muttered Lu Chen's ID to himself as he controlled LeBlanc to walk behind the mid-lane tower to recall, but when Faker saw the rapidly approaching minion wave, panic appeared in his eyes for the first time.

As expected, just as he thought, Lu Chen's Yasuo didn't stop at all, and with his Gale Blade in hand, he used the minion wave to slash forward with murderous intent.

"HasaKi!"

The deafening game sounds echoed as Yasuo's Gale and LeBlanc's Flash struck at the same time, landing precisely and gracefully on the spot where LeBlanc's Flash would land, wiping out Faker's last bit of health.

"First blood!"

"Kingslayer has killed Faker!"

"Sang-hyeok hyung, you got solo killed by a random player." Wolf said in surprise, looking at Faker's grayed-out screen.

Faker pursed his lips, a helpless smile appearing on his face. "I was a bit careless. This guy plays Yasuo quite well."

Although that's what he said, Faker was inwardly in turmoil. He didn't know who the ID Kingslayer was, and at first glance, he thought it was a smurf account of a professional mid laner from the LCK.

Because he felt that random Yasuo players wouldn't have such strong dominance, Faker laughed again when he thought of this.

What's wrong?

Is a new challenger about to emerge?

I won't be lonely next season.

Meanwhile, inside the EDG club, Mingkai and the others stared in disbelief at the kill notifications displayed on the screen.

"Holy crap! A solo kill!"

"No way, Faker got solo-killed at level two by this guy? Am I dreaming?"

"I told you, this Kingslayer is very strong," Meiko exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"That's amazing?" Ming Kai was shocked. He didn't know if Faker made a mistake or wasn't playing seriously, but no matter what, Lu Chen's ability to solo kill Faker proved that he was quite skilled.

Next, Lu Chen once again refreshed everyone's understanding. In high-ranking matches, once an advantage is gained, it is almost impossible to turn the tide unless there are other unexpected circumstances, such as Lu Chen feeding or being caught by Xiao Huasheng and others.

But Mingkai wasn't stupid. Seeing that Lu Chen had gained an advantage, he came over to gank him as soon as he reached level 6. He used Dragon Tail followed by Yasuo's ultimate, and Faker didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The mid-jungle synergy directly impacted the jungle and both top and bottom lanes, controlling resources and pushing towers, instantly setting the pace of the game. Mingkai seized this rare opportunity, relentlessly venturing into the jungle to harass Peanut's Olaf.

Theoretically speaking, Lee Sin cannot beat Olaf in a one-on-one fight.

However, Mingkai has better equipment and there are lanes on all three lanes. In particular, Lu Chen's Yasuo can provide support the fastest, so the theory instantly becomes invalid.

As time passed, the word "godlike" resounded through the sky. In the 22-minute Baron team fight, Lu Chen's Yasuo became godlike and immediately pushed the enemy to victory.

"Awesome! Kai, you actually crushed Peanut's Olaf with Lee Sin!" Meiko gave a thumbs up, Olaf's 1-4 score was on the screen, and Mingkai's face was full of smiles.

"I already said I didn't play well in that match. Did you really think my Lee Sin couldn't beat Olaf?!"

"This Kingslayer is pretty strong. He beat Faker 3-6 in his lane, which is unbelievable." Pawn stroked his chin, while Abu's eyes lit up.

"Take it! Take it!"

Mingkai was in a great mood. Although he didn't win the game against Peanut, he did well in ranked games. Did they really think he was inferior to Clearlove?

Seeing Yasuo's godlike performance, Mingkai had an idea. He felt that he and Lu Chen had a good working rapport, so he immediately typed out a message in the chat interface.

Hey bro, wanna play together next round?

Duo queue? That's possible, but I have a question for you.

【? 】

Why didn't you treat Peanut this harshly in this year's competition?

【666666! 】

As soon as Lu Chen sent out this message, a Chinese teammate in the chat interface immediately praised it repeatedly.

Inside the EDG club, Meiko and the others couldn't hold back any longer, and laughter filled the entire training room!
