Objectively speaking, on the blue side, BW's jungler Olaf's first gank wasn't too fast.
This was because if Olaf chose to start with a red buff, he could even choose to gank the middle lane after collecting the red buff. That way, he would be able to catch his opponent off guard and have a high success rate.
In this match, Nate chose to start with a Blue Kai from the upper half of the jungle. Berserkers who had leveled up to Level 2 after collecting their Blue Kai would not be able to gank like a Red Kai, nor would they have the Movement Speed reduction effect of a Red Kai. That was why everyone in the training room thought that Olaf would not be able to catch him at Level 2.
At most, he would be able to invade the opponent's jungle and catch him.
But Nate didn't do that either.
His Berserker Olaf started the game in the most conventional way. After collecting the blue buff, he rushed to the lower half of the jungle to collect the red buff.
However —
The only unexpected change was …
When Olaf took down his red buff, he was still one wave away from reaching Level 3. But at that moment, he suddenly chose to move and gank in the middle lane!
Almost everyone in the training room was stunned by this situation.
But soon …
Quite a few people came to a sudden realization.
"Vampires are not level 3 yet!"
One of the substitutes from Assassin Squad snapped out of his daze and could not help but exclaim softly. With his reminder, quite a number of people around him also came to a realization. Immediately, anxious expressions appeared on their faces.
"Ah! He's in danger! "
"Vampires don't have a Blood Pool!"
"This is Olaf's chance!"
On the other side of the spectators, Li Shiyi's expression turned solemn. "This is a great opportunity …"
Nian Thirteen narrowed his eyes subconsciously. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Yup."
"I was wondering … So this is what this guy was planning."
In the beginning, Nate did not choose to use the Level 2 Red Opening to grab the target directly because he knew that if he chose to do so, his opponent would be on guard from the very beginning. Moreover, his opponent's jungler might also be wary of him using this as a counter attack.
Thus, he controlled his Olaf to make a series of adjustments.
He still wanted to gank quickly in the early stage.
However, the timing was slightly adjusted.
After receiving the two buffs, Olaf was still lacking a bit of experience to reach Level 3. However, his HP and MP were both healthy. More importantly … at this point in time, the mid lane heroes on both sides were still Level 2.
In order to suppress Ryze in the line, Vampires learned Q at Level 1 and E at Level 2 to clear the line.
The true life-saving skill, Blood Pool, was something that could only be added after reaching level 3.
That was why Olaf had chosen to gank at the exact moment when the Vampire had yet to reach Level 3. With such a wandering gank, the opponent would let their guard down, and Olaf would be able to grab the opponent's throat in an instant!
Coincidentally, right at this moment, on the blue side, BW's Roaming Sorcerer clashed with the opponent's Vampiric Sorcerer.
It looked as if Ryze just wanted to stop the opposing Vampire from successfully pressing the minions into his own tower.
In reality …
This was a deliberate exchange of HP in advance.
Therefore, even though Ryze's HP had dropped to less than half of the HP bar, the HP bar on top of the purple square vampire's head was no longer considered healthy.
It was at this moment.
On the blue side, Nate's jungler Olaf dashed out of the grass on the right side of the river with two buffs and two coarse axes in his hands!
He headed straight for his target, Vampire, who was not far away from his own tower!
Off the field, the members of Quick Water and Assassin Club couldn't help but exclaim:
"Be careful!"
This time, even the Quick Water players who were originally confident in their mid lane captain, Shi Hang, started to panic. They did not expect Olaf to be so cunning. He had calculated the timing perfectly.
Their Vampire's position was too deep and his HP was not high enough. He had yet to learn the crucial life-saving skill, Blood Pool.
This time …
Something bad is going to happen!?
…
When he saw his opponent's jungler Olaf flanking him from the right side, the purple team's mid lane Vampire reacted quickly. He immediately abandoned the minions and turned around to escape towards the river on the left side of the middle lane.
It was unrealistic to run back to the tower because he would be intercepted by his opponent's Olaf.
But although Vampire's reaction speed was fast, the blue team's mid lane Ryze's reaction was not slow at all.
A Q skill "Overload" in his hand was instantly followed by a "Rune Imprisonment" attack!
The magic ball hit the target!
The control effect of the W skill instantly locked Vladimir in place and he was unable to move!
The control effect lasted for 0.75 seconds!
For this wave of pre-planned gank, Ryze, who was at Level 2 under Fish's control, had deliberately learned the W skill and did not use it. He had been waiting for this moment!
Ryze moved forward again!
Press forward!
A flat attack!
“Good！”
On the blue team's side, Nate shouted in the team's live chat channel. At the same time, his jungler, Olaf, was already closing in on them. He raised his arm and cast a Q skill, "Countercurrent Throw". The spinning flying axe was hurled toward the Vampire, who was not far away!
At the same time, the purple team's mid lane Vampire abruptly broke away from Ryze's control. He moved at a right angle and narrowly dodged Olaf's Q skill!
The Quick Water and Assassin Guild players off the field let out a long sigh of relief —
If Olaf's Q skill had stuck onto him, it would have been over!
But in the next second, the members of the two clubs were suddenly worried again. Although the Vampire's movement helped him dodge Olaf's first strike, it also slowed down his escape.
Ryze seized the opportunity to move forward and slashed two flat attacks on Vampire!
At the same time, the jungler Olaf had closed the distance between himself and Vampire!
The vampires quickly retreated!
He escaped towards the river on the left side of the middle lane!
Behind him, the opponent's jungler and two other heroes were hot on his heels!
When Olaf directly used "Flash" to dash forward and pick up his axe, he threw another Q skill. Finally, he accurately hit Vampire's body and slowed him down. The HP bar on top of Vampire's head was already less than a third of its original HP!
Fish's face lit up.
"Got it!"
Nate's eyes flickered with cruelty.
"Continue the chase!"
At the same time, on the purple team's side, the Vampire under Shi Hang's control was still trying his best to run for his life. He barely managed to twist his body and evade Ryze's Q skill, "Overload", but the opponent's jungler, Olaf, had almost caught up to him —
"F * ck! Bastard, I'm going to die if you don't come over! "
Finally, Shi Hang could not take it anymore. He screamed in his team's live chat channel.
