Top Solo Kill, Letme Sweats Profusely

The turning point occurred in the top lane. From the start, before the minions even spawned, Letme wore an arrogant expression, completely unconcerned about the upcoming laning phase.

He had picked Renekton, the top-tier OP champion of the current meta. How could the opponent possibly stand a chance against him?

Who was he?

A top laner who reached the semifinals of the World Championship.

If not for Xu Junyan messing things up, SKT wouldn't have been their opponents; they would have at least been runners-up, or even champions!

Perhaps due to the intense internal struggles within RNG these past few days, Letme's long-held dissatisfaction with Xu Junyan had finally erupted. RNG's aggressive marketing over the last half-month had caused their popularity and status in the LPL to skyrocket, leading Letme to believe his own words.

In short, Letme was filled with nothing but arrogance, a sense of superiority, and overbearing pride.

However, once the laning phase actually began, the opposing Camille surprisingly walked right up to him, almost making Letme laugh. Although Renekton at level one wasn't as strong as at level three, the damage from his Q skill hitting minions and the subsequent healing were still considerable. How could Camille possibly challenge him?

This idiot really doesn't know how to play!

Letme thought smugly, immediately stepping forward without fear, intending to auto-attack Camille first and seize the initiative. But just as he was about to trade auto-attacks with Camille, the opponent suddenly turned, creating distance. He frowned and immediately disengaged, but Camille turned again. He hastily turned back, but Camille feinted him once more. This time, when he turned again, Camille had already established sufficient distance and turned back to kick him.

Letme felt a sudden jolt of panic in his heart, and couldn't help but curse. The way this Camille was kiting seemed a bit exaggerated.

After landing the kick, Camille, who had already activated her physical shield, continued to press forward.

Letme certainly wouldn't fight a shielded Camille in this position. Even if he used his Q skill here, it would only hit Camille for minimal damage and wouldn't be worth it, so he had to retreat for now.

Camille relentlessly pressed forward, forcing Letme to retreat further and further, completely out of experience range. Then, he was hit by the outer edge of Camille's W skill, Tactical Sweep.

As a result, by the time he managed to get back into experience range, all three of the front minions had already died.

"Damn it! I shouldn't have been so timid. At most, I would have taken an extra auto-attack. What was I afraid of him for?"

Letme thought regretfully, his face showing a hint of embarrassment. He subconsciously muttered, "This guy is probably a Camille one-trick."

His viewers in the stream naturally believed everything Letme said. Moreover, they absolutely refused to believe that this Camille was genuinely strong.

"One-trick pony, those who know, know."

"Renekton at level one against Camille is like this; anyone would get pressured."

"What's wrong with taking a little bit of health at level one?"

Seeing the chat messages, Letme felt a slight sense of relief. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward again. Camille didn't stop him.

However, having lost the experience from three minions, he had no choice but to play cautiously. As Camille completely cleared the first wave of minions, he began to retreat.

In a solo lane, after clearing the first minion of the second wave, he would reach level two. He didn't want Camille to use her level advantage to harass him again.

Who would have thought that after clearing just the first wave of minions, Camille had already reached level two! She decisively used her hook to pull off the wall. Letme cursed again, yelling about whose vision experience she had taken. He frantically tried to reposition, but his movement was ineffective; he was still easily kicked by Camille.

Stunned, he took an auto-attack. Letme quickly retaliated with an auto-attack and Q. Camille's passive shield had a cooldown of 20 seconds, and it hadn't refreshed yet, so he gritted his teeth and bravely initiated a trade. However, he ultimately couldn't win the trade because Camille surprisingly landed a direct ignite on him, forcing him to retreat hastily after his auto-attack and Q. Camille chased him, using Tactical Sweep to try and slow him down. Letme gritted his teeth, unwilling to lose any more health, and had to use his Flash to preserve his HP.

"This is so damn annoying. At level one, she took vision experience to reach level two early. And bringing Ignite to top lane, isn't this guy afraid of playing dirty?"

Letme's health was halved by this combo, and he was now somewhat enraged and mockingly said, "An Ignite top laner will never become a top-tier top laner."

The chat in his stream firmly believed him, mocking minnaaQAQ as an Ignite abuser who couldn't play fairly.

However, because of this play, Letme missed out on the experience from several more minions. Camille stood brazenly in front of the tower, denying him even the experience from a single minion, acting with extreme dominance.

"What the hell is this."

Letme felt a sense of humiliation and was extremely embarrassed and angry.

It was one thing to defend his tower in a professional match, as he was facing professional players, and strong ones at that. If it were against lower-tier players, he could have also been aggressive.

But now? He was in a casual ranked game, and how could this Camille have the audacity to make him play like this? What right did she have?

Embarrassment turned into anger, causing Letme's face to flush red. He cursed inwardly, "Just you wait."

The early wave of minions couldn't be perfectly controlled. With the addition of the third wave's cannon minion, by the time the fourth wave arrived, the red side minions had already pushed to the tower.

Letme, still level 1, finally had the chance to gain experience, starting to auto-attack minions under the tower.

But, just as he had gasped in shock at Camille's incredible kiting ability earlier, nothing had changed.

As he auto-attacked minions, Camille could perfectly time her auto-attack range and hit him! When he retaliated with his Q skill, which he used with lightning-fast reflexes, Camille was grazed but retreated. Her W, Tactical Sweep, hit him again! Not only did it deal damage, but it also provided healing. Back and forth, he kept losing trades.

"No, no, this guy's Camille is really good. These one-trick ponies are such idiots. I need to get serious. If I don't play with a professional attitude, I won't be able to win. If I lose, it'll be embarrassing."

Cold sweat broke out on Letme's back. At the same time, he couldn't understand why this Camille dared to play so boldly.

Wasn't she afraid of my jungler?

Letme's gaze instinctively swept to the minimap. Their jungler was indeed not in the top jungle. But in a normal ranked game, after the sensitive point of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, top laners wouldn't dare to be this bold!

It could only be said that this one-trick pony was a reckless player who got lucky and managed to pressure him like this.

"If the jungler came earlier, she would have died! Doesn't this jungler know how to play? What kind of low-elo scrub is mixing in here!"

Letme cursed inwardly, but suddenly, his entire body trembled. This was because after Camille officially killed the first minion of the fourth wave, she reached level 3! As she kicked another minion with her newly acquired Q skill, she entered the tower!

"She wants to dive me?"

Letme immediately had this absurd thought. He was a professional player! To be dived and killed?

That's hilarious! She's not good enough!

He hadn't leveled up any skills at level 2. Now, he unhesitatingly leveled up his W, Ruthless Predator. The moment Camille approached him and raised her leg, he activated his red fury and bit down!

However, he miscalculated one thing: Camille's kick was just a feint and didn't actually land on him. The auto-attack animation was canceled prematurely!

This bite not only failed to pin Camille under the tower but also drew the aggro of the red-side minions inside the tower.

Letme's expression changed drastically. He wanted to leave, but it was already too late.

Under the control of his red-empowered W, Camille, regaining clarity, unleashed her second kick with true damage, triggering Adaptive Defenses. Simultaneously, he auto-attacked and then used E – Hookshot to grapple onto the wall. As W – Tactical Sweep activated, the second cast of E – Wall Dive directly launched him out of the tower. In mid-air, Tactical Sweep's delayed effect concluded, with its outer edge perfectly hitting Renekton. The health calculation was flawless.

First blood!

A kill secured with a clean escape, taking first blood!!
