Until the first kill was born in the bottom lane of Summoner's Canyon. The blue team's ADC, Vayne, and support, Sunna, calmly passed by the opponent. The purple team's top laner, Twilight Eye's corpse, retreated out of the tower.
The audience in the spectator area was still in a daze, unable to come back to their senses.
That …
First kill?
It felt as surreal as a dream.
It had to be known that the purple team had used the strategy of switching lanes at the start of the match to catch the blue team off guard. Then, they had gathered three people in the top lane to carefully prepare to kill Lan Bo. However, they had only managed to force out Lan Bo's two summons. They hadn't been able to kill him.
But on the bottom lane —
They only relied on Vayne and Sunna.
They didn't have any other helpers.
They probably didn't even expect the opponent to change lanes at the start.
Unexpectedly.
Instead, they forced their way through the tower and took away Shen's first kill?!
Moreover, that was Shen!
He was Level 3!
How could they kill him so easily? Not only did the blue team's bottom lane not lose anyone, but they only used Ignite on their summoner's skill. Perhaps they didn't even need to use Ignite to kill him.
In the back row of the spectator stand, Zhou Xiaoyao, who was sitting with her best friends and roommates from Room 312, was completely dumbfounded. After a long time, she squeezed out a line that was almost the same as what she had said before.
"Is Shen … really not an actor?"
Because it was too difficult to understand.
Based on common sense, most people, including the players from various university teams, thought that Shen couldn't have been so easily crossed by the opponent. But the reality slapped everyone in the face.
Compared to most of the audience members who were still in a daze, the members of the Financial Esports Association in the front row of the audience seats, like Qiu Le, were much more optimistic and pure.
"Hey, why are you thinking so much? Didn't they get first kill anyway?"
"Just shout 'awesome' and it'll be over!"
That made sense. The people from the Financial Esports Association came to their senses. Since it was Lin Feng's ADC, Vayne, and Kamiya's support, Leona, it should be acceptable no matter how unbelievable the kill was, right?
Immediately, thunderous cheers of "awesome" and "666" came from the front row of the spectator seats.
…
However, unlike the majority of the live audience who only wanted to see the result and not the reason, the two commentators still had to do their job within the scope of their duties. They needed to analyze and explain the wave of attacks under the tower.
"Perfect coordination."
West Wind organized his words and spoke first.
"After Sunmaiden and Vayne reached Level 3, they had a combo of skills. Two crowd control skills, enough damage, and enough ability to tank damage. In theory, they should be able to kill Twilight Eye under the tower."
"And in this wave … we can indeed see that the cooperation between the two bottom laners of Team Shang Cai is almost to the extreme. There are no flaws at all. This is a necessary factor to complete this wave of one blood kill."
However, this was definitely not the only factor.
"Actually, the Japanese girl didn't do much in this wave of killing. Her maneuvers were just standard and didn't make any mistakes." At this time, Mo Sheng took over. He looked at Vayne, the blue team's ADC, on the big screen, and his eyes lit up. "The main point …"
"It's still on Vayne!"
Yes.
There was only one person who contributed the most, and it could only be Vayne.
"Just now, the bottom lane's kill came too quickly, so you may not have noticed it. Subconsciously, you might think that Twilight Eye under the tower on the purple team had no resistance at all and was directly killed. In the end, he even used Death Flash —"
"But it's actually not like that."
"Almost every step of Shen's skill casting and responding maneuvers was not a problem."
Speaking of this, Mo Sheng paused slightly, and his tone carried a bit of a complicated meaning.
"It's just that … all three of his skills were useless."
…
Finally, after this reminder from Mo Sheng, the live audience in the spectator seats came back to their senses.
It seemed that it was really like this.
On the other side, Vayne crossed the line of minions and took the lead to enter the tower. It was completely reasonable for Shen to seize the opportunity to use his E skill to taunt the player under the tower.
Then, when the opponent was attacked by the Japanese girl, he used W and Q to prepare to pull back his energy sword to protect himself.
However.
Shen's first E skill, Taunt, was dodged by Vayne with a Q.
Following that, the energy sword that was pulled back by W and Q failed to reduce its speed and hit the target opponent. Even the W skill's defensive boundary did not successfully envelop Shen before it expired and disappeared …
"The most crucial step was Vayne's E skill, repelling."
On the commentator seat, Mo Sheng's tone was incomparably firm. At the same time, there was a bit of heartfelt exclamation and praise.
"Everyone, please recall —"
"Just now, Shen had already taken the initiative to use the second WQ skill before he was controlled. But at the moment when the energy sword with the defensive boundary was about to envelop Shen, Vayne adjusted the angle and used a reverse 'Devil's Judgment' to forcibly repel Shen."
"The timing was extremely accurate!"
"Moreover, he even took into account the system's judgment method. The energy greatsword that has already been summoned with a Q skill will not be pulled to its final position along with Shen, who has been knocked back."
"So this directly prevented the Eye of Twilight from even activating the defensive boundary for half a second. All the damage … was taken by Shen."
"Also, Vayne even calculated the angle of her E skill's repelling very accurately."
"She used E outside the tower to prevent the opponent from having a chance to flash and escape successfully."
"And even if she repelled outwards, the control of the distance and angle allowed the support Japanese girl to easily turn around and Q to the target. She could steadily follow up and control —"
Mo Sheng said the entire long explanation in one breath. Almost all the audience in the spectator seats were stunned. At this time, Mo Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and then seriously and solemnly made a conclusion.
"So —"
"This time, Shen's death was not a loss at all!"
…
Of course, this evaluation was from a commentator's neutral point of view.
For the purple side's top team, of course, it was an intolerable result of a loss.
They had pressured the top lane to this extent, yet they could not get a kill.
In the end, the bottom lane had instead given the support of the opponent's ADC, and the two of them had easily taken a kill?
Then the effect of pressuring Lan Bo in the early stage … would be reduced by seventy to eighty percent!
At this time, Shen was dead. A large wave of minions under the tower had all been lost. In terms of level and experience, compared to Lan Bo, he no longer had such a huge advantage. Lan Bo had almost caught up to him.
For a moment, the other members of the top team could not help but feel a little impatient. They loudly criticized their top laner.
On the contrary, as the captain, Zou Siyuan appeared to be calmer at this moment.
"Enough."
His tone was cold as he shouted in the team's live chat channel to stop the quarreling of his team members. Seeing that his team members had finally quietened down, Zou Siyuan slowly said,
"What's the hurry? Take it slow. We have plenty of opportunities!"
As he said that …
His eyes involuntarily looked at the ADC Vayne on the opposite bottom lane. His eyelids twitched slightly, and then he tried his best to calm down —
This time, he did not care about the others.
But at least his mouse would definitely have a chance to rise!
