After the TP, Li Xu went straight into the bushes. Bwipo's captain was forced to stay low and wait for Li Xu to jump out before he could finish him off.
However, Li Xu's playstyle was extremely fierce. He would jump out whenever there was an opportunity, giving Bwipo a lot of pressure. They could only hope that the other side would push the creeps over quickly.
After more than three minutes, the line of soldiers slowly moved to the position next to the underbrush at the bottom of the road.
The moment he saw the captain bury the bucket under the bushes, Li Xu immediately jumped out and stabbed the captain. Then, he turned around and left.
Since the HP of the powder keg decreased very slowly in the early stages, Li Xu didn't choose to leave the bucket behind. Instead, he chose to retreat to the bushes.
Doll: "Li Xu is still being fierce. Reksy is coming up! Look at Poodle's position. There's a chance. The captain is still in good condition. We can make a move. "
Ze Yuan: "Li Xu is too deep and gave Reksy a chance. However, Li Xu is very experienced in being caught at level three. Let's see what he's going to do this time. This is Li Xu's first gank in this international competition. "
Mille: "Li Xu shouldn't be doing this. It's the time when the other side is controlling the river crab. Blind Monk is also in the bottom half of the map. Why is he so fierce?"
Ze Yuan: "Normally, if Li Xu were to gank like this, there would be a lot of red side minions. The opponents in the top lane would be suppressed by his level and HP. Even if the junglers came, they wouldn't dare to make a move.
However, because the captain had the bucket to blow up the creeps, Li Xu didn't suppress his level even though it was obvious. Therefore, Broxah chose to gank the top lane. "
Doll: "Sure enough, it's not boring when Li Xu is around. Nothing happened in the other lanes. In just three minutes, the top lane has been giving the camera away."
"Li Xu's first kill in the international competition. I'm going to take a screenshot to commemorate it."
"Ze Yuan's sentence about being caught at the third level is very rich. I'm dying of laughter."
"Let's be honest. Li Xu always goes for the kill line in LCK. The opposing jungler always tries to catch him, but his success rate isn't high."
"That's true. Against RNG Level 2 players, they'll be caught. Against SKT Level 3 players, they'll be caught. However, those who catch Li Xu usually don't end well."
"Li Xu: The opponent is so shameless. Every time the match starts, they start to shake people up."
… ….
In two paces the poodle was out of the range of the powder-keg at the captain's feet.
At this time, the captain threw the second barrel into the bushes. He picked up the scimitar in his hand and slashed at the gunpowder barrel under his feet. The gunpowder barrel's HP had decreased to 1.
Li Xu's reaction was very fast. The moment the captain buried the barrel, he activated his Q skill, which had finished its cooldown, and turned around to jump towards the little blue soldier outside. He just happened to avoid the captain's second barrel explosion, and at the same time, gained four stacks of brutality.
At this time, Reksy's figure appeared from the river.
After dodging the explosion of the powder-keg, Li Xu saw Reksy appear. He immediately turned around and dived into the bushes at the side of the road, running along the bushes.
Reksy came over from the river and saw the poodle in the middle of the bushes. He activated his Q skill, Search for Prey, and hit the poodle's line of sight. He then started to dig a tunnel.
After Li Xu's line of sight was exposed by Search for Prey, the captain who had chased after the poodle took out his pistol and shot at the poodle from afar.
However, this shot also exposed the captain's line of sight to Li Xu. The poodle turned around and pounced towards the captain, just in time to avoid the position of the excavator.
Bang!
Broxah's reaction was very fast. He didn't even wait for Li Xu to activate his enhanced skill and directly used [Flash] to send the poodle flying.
Reksy clawed at the poodle crazily with both of his claws. The captain swung his Inferno Interrogation, and both of them were inflicted with damage.
Even though he had 4 Brutality points, Li Xu watched as his HP dropped like a landslide. He didn't activate his enhanced W skill to stop Reksy's attack.
In addition to dealing damage to surrounding enemies, the poodle's W skill also healed half of the poodle's HP in the past 1.5 seconds. The enhanced W skill, War Roar, had an additional effect of dispelling crowd control.
For Li Xu, he had to take these damage anyway. In this situation, as long as he wasn't instantly killed, he might as well take the damage and use W to recover more HP. It wasn't worth it to use the enhanced W skill right away to stop the poodle from being knocked away.
After landing, Li Xu immediately used up his enhanced Q skill to deplete his Brutality points and stabbed at the captain.
Reksy used [Tear] and the poodle's HP instantly decreased by a large chunk. Li Xu decisively pressed down on the W skill.
The poodle roared on the spot, and its critical HP instantly recovered to more than a third. Then, Li Xu took advantage of the acceleration effect and rushed into the bushes in the middle. The captain and Reksy chased after him closely.
The moment the two entered the bushes in the middle, the poodle pounced at the captain behind it. With one stab, it triggered the full Conqueror effect, reducing the captain's HP to less than half.
After using [Conqueror], Li Xu immediately canceled his basic attack with his Q skill and swung back. He stabbed again and used his E skill, Lasso to slow down the captain. Once again, he accumulated 4 Brutality points.
The captain's HP was less than a third. Bwipo hurriedly pulled away.
The poodle didn't care about Reksy who was doing his best to deal damage. It jumped towards the captain who was at the edge of the bushes. At the same time, it waved its left claw and activated its enhanced Q skill, Cruel and Merciless. The curved sword in its right hand chopped down fiercely, and the captain almost died.
Bwipo quickly ate an orange to recover his HP and continued to run in the direction of his home.
The poodle took a step back and stood at the edge of the bushes before launching another attack. When it landed, it directly crippled the captain.
The poodle's passive was because it would jump to the enemy's position when the poodle launched its basic attack.
Therefore, if the distance of the poodle's jump was relatively far, it would often appear that the poodle would only be able to deal damage when the poodle landed, and wouldn't be able to follow up with the next basic attack, especially when there was no Q skill to reset the basic attack.
Coincidentally, Li Xu was very sensitive to the attack distance. Before he landed, he knew that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the poodle and attack again. When he landed, he didn't hesitate to turn around and enter the bushes again.
The captain who was close to the troop line was directly smashed to death by the poodle.
Under the effect of [Triumphant Return], Li Xu's HP had already recovered to about a quarter.
Mille: "Excavator dodged the roof. The two of them almost insta-killed the poodle. However, the poodle recovered its HP. Li Xu still wanted to control the poodle, but [Conqueror] came out … Wow! The damage is so high. "
Ze Yuan: "Jump, jump again, jump again, die! He killed the poodle in a 1v2 situation. The poodle's burst is really high. Taking advantage of the fact that the captain and Excavator didn't have any skills to deal damage, the poodle killed one of them. "
Mille: "[Conqueror] is still very powerful in this situation. Now, it seems that the captain's empty bucket is a little fatal."
Doll: "However, although Li Xu successfully replaced the captain, he probably can't run away from this position. Excavator has a red buff, so as long as he sticks to it, he can kill it."
