Chapter 89: imp's Strength
The game lasted 8 minutes and 27 seconds.
The camera then moves to the bottom lane.
imp and Green Hair thought the opponents had gone back to base, so Green Hair covered imp as he pushed the minion wave to the tower. Unexpectedly, JackeyLove and Baolan emerged from the river bush.
From God's perspective, imp's position is extremely dangerous.
At this moment, the role of the support becomes apparent. Green Hair actively moves forward to shield Imp behind him, and at the same time, taking advantage of JackeyLove and Baolan's inattention, he flashes to taunt them, taunting both of them at the same time.
Even though JackeyLove used Purify immediately to pull the hook back, it still allowed the green-haired guy with low health to survive.
JackeyLove focused all his damage on the green-haired Galio, which allowed imp to finish him off.
Imp detonated JackeyLove's passive plasma and used his Q skill to secure the kill.
JDGimp kills IGJackeyLove!
At this moment, Baolan was also covered in Kai'Sa's plasma. After imp killed JackeyLove, he reached level six, activated his ultimate, flew to Baolan's side, and used a basic attack to explode the plasma, along with Baolan's health.
imp has achieved a double kill!
At this moment, JackeyLove could clearly feel his body getting warmer.
Why isn't the air conditioning in this JD.com venue cool at all?
Kai'Sa and Galio are at a significant disadvantage in lane when facing the Xayah and Rakan duo.
It's not just that Kai'Sa's 525-yard attack range is compared to Xayah's 550-yard attack range.
Even Xayah's passive feathers are positioned perfectly within Kai'Sa's last-hitting range, making it easy for Kai'Sa to get chipped away whenever she tries to last-hit.
Actually, when Redmi gave imp and Green Hair Kai'Sa and Galio, they hoped that imp could stabilize their lane and farm, thus dragging out the game.
Even though Green Hair was caught and killed once before, it was all within JDG's acceptable range.
But no one expected that JackeyLove and Baolan's proactive attack, with a do-or-die attitude, not only failed to achieve their goal, but also backfired, as they were defeated by Imp and Green Hair.
Not only that, both heads ended up in Imp's pocket, which immediately gave Imp a chance to take off.
As the champion AD carry of Season 4, imp's strength is beyond doubt. He is definitely a player who can step up and carry the game.
The fact that Redmi confidently picked late-game heroes for imp shows that, as a long-time partner, Redmi knows exactly how to use imp.
Therefore, JDG's core strategy has always been simple: the top, mid, and jungle players should pick heroes that are strong enough in the early game to buy time for imp in the bottom lane to develop. Once imp is fully developed, he can step up and take over the game to win.
Another very important reason why Kai'Sa is weak in the early game is that this champion relies on items; she can only evolve after acquiring items and stats.
This makes Kai'Sa very weak in the early game, and any AD carry can easily bully her.
However, the charm of Kai'Sa lies in the fact that once she has evolved with her equipment, she becomes a completely different champion.
JackeyLove took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. He asked Baolan to roam around and provide support.
He no longer has much of an advantage in the bottom lane, so he thought he might as well take the pressure himself and free up Baolan to move around.
Baolan nodded upon hearing this and crossed the river to the grassy area on the right.
"You can grab it, you can grab it, let me lift it first," Baolan reminded from the bushes.
As soon as he finished speaking, Baolan emerged from the bushes and lifted Yagao up.
At the same time, Forge used his E skill to pull Yagao in just as Baolan stepped out of the bush.
IG thought they were about to succeed, but Galio's ultimate appeared around Yagao, and at the same time Gragas' Q skill rolled out while blocking vision.
They immediately realized that Yagao was deliberately selling this.
IG desperately wanted to gank, and this was a chain reaction caused by the double kill in the bottom lane. First, Baolan's level was still below six, and second, the Xayah and Rakan combination failed to achieve the desired laning effect. If JDG continued to drag the game out, their win rate would only decrease.
Therefore, Baolan and Ning are unwilling to let any opportunity slip by.
After failing to gank, Baolan wandered around for a bit and then headed back to the bottom lane.
"Gragas is heading to the bottom lane with Predator, Jack, watch out."
Ning, staring at the map, offered a reminder.
Upon seeing the barrel, Baolan immediately signaled to JackeyLove to retreat: "Can we fight? Can we fight?"
"We can fight, we can fight! I have Galio's ultimate, I'll fly over here."
Forge roared.
Just as Gragas' E skill collided with Baolan, Forge unleashed Galio's ultimate skill towards Baolan's location.
Upon landing and knocking up Gragas, Ning immediately used his E skill to pull him back, and then Ning and JackeyLove arrived and finished off Gragas.
Because Forge was positioned too deep, after the barrel died, his head was taken down by imp on the flank.
Baolan used a corner kick to knock Yagao and Lvmao into the air. At this moment, Lvmao made a feint, using reverse movement to draw the focus of IG's fire on himself, successfully saving Yagao's life.
It was thought that the chaotic battle had ended after Green Hair died, but Baolan, who had reached level six, seized the opportunity when imp had no vision in the bottom lane bush, activated his ultimate to charm imp, and then JackeyLove followed up with damage from the flank.
Fortunately, Yagao hadn't completely left and used his ultimate ability to strengthen the shield, saving imp.
That wasn't the end of it. The resurrected Forge clearly received JackeyLove's command and teleported down using the ward in JDG's bottom lane tri-bush.
Finally, with imp's well-timed ultimate, he successfully landed under the tower, bringing this chaotic battle to an end.
The two sides traded blows back and forth, their economies were very closely intertwined, and they were almost at a standstill.
The game lasted 12 minutes and 29 seconds.
While IG's bottom lane was taking tower plates, Yagao and Zoom both teleported to the bottom lane through the wards in the bush behind the bottom lane. JDG's intention was very clear: to disrupt the top lane through teleportation.
The moment TP lit up, Baolan had already activated his ultimate. He accurately predicted Yagao's landing point, and while lifting Yagao during the duration of his ultimate, he flashed to create distance and dodged Zoom's Renekton.
This series of operations can be described as smooth and effortless.
In this way, the JDG players set their sights on JackeyLove, who was retreating towards the river.
Faced with the attack of three people, JackryLove used his ultimate ability and Flash to create distance.
The double TP gank failed to secure any kills, and there were no public resources to take in the jungle. For JDG, this decision was a huge loss.
But that's how games are; there are too many variables, and you can't expect a response just because you attack.
"The enemy might be about to send out their vanguard; I'm rushing."
Green Hair immediately gave a response.
He and Imp had already pushed the minion wave to the enemy tower. Before the next wave of minions arrived, he could move ahead of Baolan.
Furthermore, he still has powerful moves at his disposal, so he can join the battle immediately once the fighting starts.
The double TP run just now was already a huge loss. If IG gets the Rift Herald, the first tower will be in danger.
As luck would have it, Green Hair and Imp's movement from the river towards the mid lane was spotted by IG's ward in the river.
