"I'm taking you on as my underling. Any objections?"
"..."
Do you even believe that yourself?
Su Nuan knew he was making a dirty joke, but she had no proof. She could only let it go, turning her attention back to the game and beginning to analyze the situation.
An ADC had to consider the laning phase, as well as trading health.
At present, that had already been accomplished.
Twitch had launched a surprise attack and taken half of UZI's health. Even after drinking his only Health Potion, he still could not recover all of it. Meanwhile, Twitch had Morgana's shield on him.
So he had not lost much health.
From this point onward, the bot-lane tempo would be in their hands.
That was a good thing, but also a bad thing.
The bigger the tree, the more wind it attracted.
Playing too well would draw the enemy jungler's attention. That was why Janna was positioned farther forward. If anything unusual happened near the river, she could respond immediately.
At the same time, they had to keep an eye on the other lanes, as well as the upper and middle jungle.
The jungle was especially important.
As Rek'Sai cleared from bottom to top, he chose to take a look inside the enemy jungle. He happened to run into Jarvan IV head-on, but neither side engaged.
The instant Jarvan IV saw Rek'Sai, he immediately used his EQ Combo and retreated.
He did not linger at all!
At this moment, Jarvan IV could be said to be the steadiest person on the battlefield. But because he had appeared in the upper half of the jungle, the bot lane was temporarily out of danger.
Su Nuan could not help sighing inwardly. She had not thought Chen Yi was especially strong before.
She had never expected him to be this strong.
Even while laning against UZI, Chen Yi was not at a disadvantage in the slightest. His advantage was especially obvious when it came to the finer details. UZI kept trying to pull and kite, only to discover that he could not outplay him at all.
That was truly impressive!
But soon, Su Nuan shook her head. Why am I thinking about all this?
In his eyes, he was not weak either.
The laning phase was fine.
Chen Yi was not in a hurry, but UZI was completely different. He was already flustered. In his view... he was only going fifty-fifty with some random player.
That was an insult to him!
More importantly, in the chat box at the lower left, his teammates had already started praising him from the very beginning. UZI had enjoyed that feeling. He had thought this game would be an easy one.
But what was this now?
Level two!
Level three!
UZI could not find an opening at all.
Kiting?
It was not working!
Going all-in?
Even worse!
He could only hope Morgana would land a lucky binding. But after failing again and again, UZI decided that rather than relying on this support, he might as well rely on himself.
It was not possible now, but it would be later.
But just as he was analyzing the situation, Twitch suddenly disappeared.
Where was he?
Had he recalled?
No!
Because the moment UZI took one step forward, Twitch appeared.
Was he going to fight?
UZI had never expected Twitch to dare do that. But as the damage landed, the numbers made it clear what Twitch was relying on. The damage itself was not particularly impressive.
But Twitch had a lot of health!
And he also had Janna's shield. A straight fight was definitely impossible, but when UZI saw the mark indicating Jarvan IV was approaching, he immediately understood. He even used his body as bait.
And just as his health dropped to around a quarter—
Jarvan IV arrived!
EQ Combo!
A blue flag descended from the sky. In UZI's eyes, and in everyone else's, Twitch was definitely doomed. But at the instant Jarvan IV moved—
A blue breeze swept across his cheek.
It lifted his hair.
The wind!
It was gentle!
But at this moment, it was deadly, especially when Jarvan IV was lifted into the air.
The entire audience exploded.
[What the hell, that worked?]
[Janna can do that too?]
[This... is she hacking?]
Hacking?
What kind of hack?
Interrupting a dash with a knock-up was basic knowledge in League of Legends. Su Nuan was extremely pleased with herself and made it clear that this bot lane did not have only one ADC.
It also had an incredibly powerful support.
Interrupting a dash!
Who could have expected that?
Yet the one with the ugliest expression was not Jarvan IV, but UZI. Risking himself to bait the enemy should have created an opportunity, but what was this now?
Run!
He used Heal, only to discover that it was nowhere near enough.
Especially at this moment, the passive above Twitch's head had fully stacked. As an ADC player, UZI naturally knew what that meant. Twitch's E had reached maximum damage.
His current health could not withstand that skill. If he wanted to survive, he had only one option: use his spell shield to block it. He acted immediately!
As Twitch cast his skill, Sivir's spell shield activated instantly.
Had it blocked the skill?
It had!
But it had not blocked Twitch's E. It had blocked Twitch's Health Potion.
With a crisp snap, it was not only Twitch's bottle that shattered, but also Sivir's heart. The first blood announcement echoed across the battlefield, and UZI slammed the desk.
"Damn it! This useless support can't land a single skill? What terrible luck!"
But the bad luck did not end there. Jarvan IV was in trouble too!
After killing UZI, Twitch's attacks landed on him as well. Janna also used her slow to assist, staying beside Jarvan IV and allowing Twitch to trigger Janna's passive.
[Moving toward it grants bonus movement speed!]
The passive was fairly ordinary, but when it came to chasing an enemy, it was extremely powerful. In the end, Jarvan IV could only use Flash.
He had used Flash without getting the kill!
Normally, that principle was sound. But right now, it did not apply, because Twitch immediately Flashed after him. The instant he caught up, he dodged another Q from Morgana.
The player controlling Morgana was completely dumbfounded.
No way!
Had he been cursed? Was this the curse of never landing a Q Skill?
He regretted it now. If he had known, he would never have picked Morgana. Once she lost her Q Skill, she was not even as useful as a super minion. Unfortunately, regret was useless.
After Twitch dodged the binding, no one could stop him from dealing damage anymore.
The most important factor was Jarvan IV's position. He had come from the river, while the battlefield was in the middle of the lane. Since Janna had interrupted his dash, Jarvan IV was in a terrible position.
He was far from the turret. Even if he wanted to Flash beneath it, the distance was simply too great. He could only Flash toward the river. But who could have expected Twitch to Flash after him?
With no turret nearby, his only fate was to be chased down and killed.
With Jarvan IV's death—
Three hundred gold flashed above Twitch.
Because too much time had passed, he had not secured the Double Kill.
But these were still two genuine kills. Even after the team fight ended, Twitch had not used Cleanse—not because he did not want to, but because he had not needed to.
All he could say was that his positioning had been too good.
After claiming two kills, the viewers who had been shouting all kinds of things fell noticeably quieter.
Could he not beat UZI?
That was impossible!
At this moment, Su Nuan was extremely pleased with herself as well. She said, "When I saw Sivir hadn't left, I knew the enemy jungler was nearby. Sure enough, I was right. Wasn't that brilliant? Did I time it well?"
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant."
"I'm your Support Daddy, after all. Taking care of my son is only natural."
"..."
Your chest is flat, so you're right.
Su Nuan continued, "At the start, I was a little nervous. But now that I look at it... UZI really isn't anything special."
Congratulations to WBG for advancing to the quarterfinals. Here's an extra chapter!
