[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 210

Lee Sin vs Kindred matchup.

The general consensus is that the Lee Sin and Kindred matchup is one where Lee Sin counters Kindred, even with the premise of a skill battle.

We don't need to look far; the opposing Lee Sin was picked precisely to counter the first-pick Kindred.

No matter how much Kindred tries to kite, Lee Sin, with his superior mobility, can stick to them easily, and after level 6, Lee Sin's ultimate can kick Kindred out of the ultimate's range.

Of course, that's only in the general case...

'Come at me.'

I open my eyes wide and quickly read the opponent's skills and intentions.

No reasonable Lee Sin would first extend a Sonic Wave against Kindred.

Because it's obvious they'll dodge.

The opponent was the same.

First, they approached with a ward (w) and applied a slow with (e) before trying to get the Sonic Wave angle.

But there was no way I would fall for such a cheap trick.

The moment Lee Sin approached with the ward (w), I immediately used a bold back-flash to escape Lee Sin's (e) range.

Lee Sin, flustered, immediately extended their Sonic Wave, but I lightly dodged such a blind Sonic Wave with (q).

Lee Sin's skills were all used up in an instant.

Lee Sin, realizing that they were now only going to be kited, tried to escape with a flash.

Of course, it was useless for Lee Sin, already bitten by the (e) skill slow, to run away.

Kiting, kiting, kiting.

As a result, Lee Sin didn't even put up a decent resistance in the 1v1 combat.

- You have slain an enemy!

["Oh, what's this."]

["They got a solo kill."]

["Nice."]

["I'm dying, noona!"]

"……Shut up."

The snowballing's speed gradually began to accelerate.

As a solo kill came out of the jungle, the opposing bottom lane had to retreat their line again, feeling the pressure of a dive.

In a situation where they were already at a disadvantage, the losses were accumulated once more.

While the opposing bottom lane was pointlessly burning a large wave of two waves, I didn't get tied up in the bottom lane and immediately changed my route to jungle.

Because here, just by not showing myself, it was as if the imagined Kindred was ganking the opposing bottom lane.

'There's no need to waste time on a bottom dive that won't work.'

While the opposing jungler was dead, I once again cleared the opponent's blue side jungle completely, and slowly increased the tempo.

The time the first Herald appears is 8 minutes.

The direction of this game will change completely, starting with the first Herald.

Of course, we absolutely have to get it, and of course, we should get the Herald.

"Jihoon."

["Yes."]

After pushing the bottom wave, Kim Jihoon's Trons, who had taken a recall, immediately started running towards the Herald.

It was the moment the bottom lane's influence was exerted in the Herald's initiative.

"I'm going to hit it right away."

["Yes."]

["I'll look for an angle, too."]

Currently, the top lane is pushing, but the mid lane is being pushed.

This was due to the teleports taken in the early game for the bottom dive.

But it didn't matter.

No matter how much it was a LeBlanc, in this situation, Twisted Fate couldn't enter recklessly even if he was holding only his gold card.

"Got it."

- The blue team has slain the Rift Herald!

I, who ate the Herald and even looked at the vision, immediately took a recall with the Trons and headed back to the bottom lane.

As the core of this snowballing was the bottom lane, I was planning to use this Herald to completely take down the first turret.

Meanwhile, Jiksu was holding the lane with 2v1 line control from a distance.

The opposing bottom lane combination was Aphelios and Lulu.

Unless Kim Jaemin did something foolish, it was a difficult combination to catch Jiksu, who was only clearing the line from a distance with a forced initiate.

["Why are you coming so late?"]

Kim Jaemin grumbled.

I would have lightly chided him if it were usual, but as he had actually held up quite well with 2v1, I gave him a carrot instead.

"You held up well."

["Of course, who am I?"]

I'll listen to that self-praise today.

As I released the Herald on the bottom lane, and naturally put pressure for a bottom dive, the opposing bottom lane had to retreat again.

The opposing Lee Sin hurriedly showed up, but there was no change even if the number of people became the same when the difference in power was already obvious.

- The red team has destroyed a turret!

Bottom first turret destroyed.

It was the start of a full-fledged snowballing.

"Let's look at the second one too."

["Yes."]

["Go go."]

The opposing bottom lane already has no power.

It was even more unnatural that they had no energy left, having been dived in the bottom lane and having burned even a big wave due to the consecutive dive pressure.

"If necessary, look at mid too."

["Okay."]

As I took the lead and put pressure on the opponent, the opponent also had to slowly retreat.

Champions like Aphelios or Lulu, who are immobile, could die from getting caught in the Trons' pillars if they made a mistake, so they had to be even more careful.

In fact, the pillars used by Kim Jihoon's Trons were simply masterpieces.

"Protect the Herald."

["I'll block it once."]

The moment the opposing Lee Sin flew to hit the Herald in the back, Kim Jihoon's pillar struck it down.

It was a technique close to divine skill.

["Wow, what was that just now?"]

Kim Jaemin seemed to see it for the first time and the bewilderment was oozing from his voice.

"Well done."

After placing the Herald on the bottom second turret, the two of our bottom lane teammates, whose feet were naturally loosened, went up to the mid lane.

[⬇] [⬇]

[OLZ Protein(Trons) is going]

[OLZ Protein(Trons) is going]

The opposing bottom lane also tried to follow to mid in a hurry, but the mid first turret was already broken by Twisted Fate and Jiksu, who were demolition machines, and the Trons.

Because it was impossible for LeBlanc and Lee Sin, who practically had no long-range line clearing ability, to defend the turret in the face-off.

- The red team has destroyed a turret!

The snowballing doesn't stop.

Our bottom lane, which destroyed two opposing first turrets, immediately went up to the top lane.

It was to increase the speed of the game even more.

["I'll go to the bottom lane."]

"Uh."

Seoyeonwoo, as if understanding, took a recall and immediately headed to the bottom lane, and on the other hand, our top lane teammates, as they did in the mid lane, started to pressure the top lane.

The opposing top laner was Malphite.

As a champion who practically has no long-range line clearing ability, the top turret also began to break, shield by shield.

The opposing team already had no capacity to keep up with our tempo.

The mid LeBlanc, who grew moderately well, could be considered to be still healthy, but the current situation itself was making LeBlanc have nothing to do.

- The red team has destroyed a turret!

Perhaps thanks to the 5 demolition runes.

We scraped off all of the opposing turret's defense before the second Herald even appeared.

That much meant that this game was overwhelmingly in our favor.

'Now, all that's left is…'

There's still some time left until the second Herald appears.

But I have no intention of just playing around.

"Go to mid right away."

["Okay."]

We don't stop the pressure.

Because I know too well how long this game will become if we give the opponent time to catch their breath.

Pressure the mid second turret and the bottom second turret simultaneously.

The top second turret was also being defended in a hurry as LeBlanc was taking the incoming wave, but it was only painful for the opponent.

1-2-1 formation.

It is the most commonly used operation after the lane phase, but the opponent has already not been able to establish a battle of the same number of people.

Because in the process of snowballing while scraping off the turret's defense, an insurmountable gold difference has now opened up between the two teams.

["Noona, aren't we eating the dragon?"]

"No need."

Certainly, dragons are very important in the current meta.

Someone might even say it's more important than the Herald, and in fact, the number of dragons has a huge impact on the outcome of the game.

However, that's only when the game has gone on to the 4-dragon timing.

As we're thinking of ending the game before 3 dragons, let alone 4 dragons, it's just a new development.

'Soon, the second Herald appears.'

The current situation is that the opposing first turret is completely destroyed, and the second turret has also taken some damage.

In this situation, the second Herald will play a pivotal role in driving the final nail in the coffin.

"I'll hit the Herald right away."

["Okay."]

As we showed the nuance of hitting the Herald, the opposing LeBlanc and Lee Sin began to hover in the opposing red side jungle as if they couldn't hold back any longer.

It was an appeal that they didn't want to give the second Herald so easily.

["I think the opponent is trying to steal this, what are we going to do?"]

"Leave it. Let them catch it."

["Are you sure?"]

"Yes."

As our team's neglect took place, the opposing Lee Sin, not knowing if it was a trap, matched the Sonic Wave to the Herald and attempted to steal it.

'Where.'

Instead of a Smite battle, I made the Herald invulnerable with my ultimate, invalidating Lee Sin's Q Smite.

["Wow, what timing…."]

["Nice!"]

While Kim Jaemin was exclaiming in admiration, Lee Sin tried to kick me and run away, but Twisted Fate's Gold Card was already stuck on Lee Sin's head.

- You have slain an enemy!

Having obtained the second Herald and the opposing jungler's head, we didn't stop any further.

Immediately released the Herald in the mid lane, and along with Jiksu's unique demolition power, the second turret was taken down in one go.

"Keep going."

The Herald continues to headbutt the inhibitor turret this time.

Eventually, along with the demolition rune and the attacks of champions who don't escape demolition, the inhibitor turret is destroyed.

In the following offensive,

Perhaps they felt it was no longer possible.

The opposing five people started to gather in mid as if they were in a desperate resistance.

"They're coming."

["I think they're going to give it a try?"]

"Then, let's do it."

["Watch out for Malphite's ultimate."]

Malphite's ultimate.

For the opponent, it's the first and last chance to stop our advance.

However,

Why doesn't Malphite appear often in the pro scene?

There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is, as always, that the champion itself is so obvious.

In this situation, in order to take advantage of Malphite's strengths, a surprise attack through a vision battle was essential, but the place we are in now is a wide plain.

Under the assumption that there's a flash, there's not a single pro who would be hit head-on by Malphite's ultimate in a plain like this.

And Malphite's ultimate flew towards where Kindred and Jason were gathered.

"Dodged it."

["Me too."]

It's too obvious, too visible.

That's why dodging Malphite's ultimate was easy, not to mention simple.

- You have slain an enemy!

What remained was not a team fight.

It was merely a one-sided massacre.

As we caught the opposing champions one by one, we destroyed the mid inhibitor, then the bottom second turret and the bottom inhibitor turret, and even the bottom inhibitor.

There was nothing to hinder us.

There was no need to stop.

The opponent already had no power to stop us, and from some point on, we didn't even feel their will.

Twin turrets are destroyed one by one.

One, two.

And the opponent's nexus revealed its lonely figure.

"End it."

With a resolute declaration,

[Victory]

And finally, the game ended.

Game time 16 minutes and 04 seconds.

Kill score 11:0.

It was an overwhelming victory for OLZ.
