Chapter 13 The Road Collapses, the Mantises Attack!
"This one's mine!"
Sima Laozei had given up on the game, completely unaware that he had been tricked by Thresh.
From this angle, no matter how he moves, he can't possibly dodge Thresh's hook.
The next moment, his words came to an abrupt end.
As Thresh's hook hurtled towards him, a flower bloomed in front of him.
"Ding!"
It was obvious that Thresh's hook was blocked by Zyra's flower once again.
"pretty!"
Sima, the old scoundrel, was also somewhat surprised, and words of praise slipped out.
He never expected that Chu Shi's Zyra would react so quickly and block the hook for him.
As Chu Shi listened to Sima Laozei's voice through his earphones, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Road's current wave seems pretty good, but it's still a bit too idealistic.
He and Sima Laozei were constantly wearing down the opposing team, but he was keeping an eye on Thresh's movements the whole time.
Thresh, having been constantly worn down, must be trying to get his revenge.
As for why Chu Shi realized that Thresh would attack Sima Yi, it was a psychological game.
Thresh attacked him twice, and he blocked both attacks.
Even if Road is incredibly agitated, he has no reason to attack himself again.
Those who become professional players are not fools; why would they make pointless attempts?
Of course, Sima Laozei had no idea what Chu Shi was thinking and was quite surprised by Zyra's move.
He thought that Zyra would protect herself the moment Thresh made his move.
But he didn't expect Zyra to hold onto her skills so tightly, only releasing them after Thresh had already targeted her.
Putting yourself in his shoes, if he were Zyra, he would never think that way and would just have to watch helplessly as the AD carry got engaged on.
In the commentary booth, Miller and Longhair were also shocked by this scene.
Miller: "Road's Thresh was already excellent; that last play was the optimal solution under the current circumstances."
"Unfortunately, Thresh is on the second tier, and Chu Shi's Zyra is on the third tier, giving them no chance at all." Long Hair smiled and said, "I reckon Road's mentality is already starting to crumble."
IM players' bench.
Just as Longhair had guessed, Road's mentality had indeed begun to crumble.
"Damn it, this won't do, this Zyra!" Road said viciously.
Before the match, when he saw OMG pick Zyra, he was 100% confident.
But now, after three consecutive attacks were easily neutralized by Zyra, he began to doubt his own skills.
Each of these moves was the result of careful consideration, and he found what he considered to be the best opportunity, and all of them ended up hitting the mark.
It's no exaggeration to say that he had used almost every trick in the book, but Zyra neutralized it with just a flower.
It's like punching cotton; it doesn't hurt, but it's still uncomfortable.
Now, looking at Zyra on the court, he only feels that the opponent's Zyra is mocking him.
"There's nothing we can do, this newcomer's Zyra is really good!" Jinjiao said helplessly.
Seeing that several group-buying attempts ended in failure, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
They shouldn't have underestimated this substitute in the first place; prioritizing Caitlyn and Thresh was too overconfident.
If they had known this would happen, they would have been better off picking a long-range support, at least that would have given him a chance to last-hit minions.
"I don't believe it!"
Road felt humiliated and resentful after hearing Jinjiao's words.
Why are you, a substitute, making me feel so bad?
In the following process, Road began to attack wildly, and as soon as the cooldown was over, the gleaming iron hook would be sent out.
Unfortunately, no matter what method he used, Zyra's flower seemed to be stuck on Thresh's hook, making it impossible for him to get a hold of her.
"I can't go on like this, let's go back and resupply. Ben, come down the road for me!" Jinjiao asked for help.
Road's several reckless attacks made their situation increasingly difficult, even making it hard to last-hit minions under the tower.
If this continues, they won't even need mid-game team fights; they'll be completely overwhelmed.
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to let the jungler finish things off.
"Here we go!" Without hesitation, Ben immediately controlled Kha'Zix and headed towards the bottom lane.
At this moment, the bottom lane duo's plea for help also caught the attention of the other members of IM.
During this period, the mid and top laners were engaged in a highly focused laning phase, and due to the disadvantage in the bottom lane, they had to be wary of the enemy Lee Sin's harassment from time to time.
This also led to them not paying attention to the development of the bot lane duo.
Now, they noticed that the bottom laner was only barely at level five, lagging behind the opponent by more than half a level.
As for finishing off enemies, it was simply a disaster.
The female police officer only had 30 last hits, while the enemy Jhin had a full 50, a difference of nearly 20 last hits.
In addition, Jhin already had a kill, and Caitlyn was already behind in gold by almost two kills.
Moreover, Jhin is also an extract.
This is almost a small economic gap, how can the bot lane still play?
Not only that, even the defensive towers have lost a third of their health.
If this continues, the bottom lane tower is very likely to be breached, which would be a near collapse.
In just a few minutes, their bot lane duo had found themselves in such a predicament, leaving the IM members utterly astonished.
It's worth noting that both Jinjiao and Road are quite skilled, and they also secured a strong lineup with Caitlyn and Thresh.
Even if there were mistakes in the early stages, they shouldn't have been suppressed so badly. The jungler really can't do without them.
Meanwhile, the movements of the IM members also caught the attention of the commentary team.
Miller: "The Kha'Zix has headed towards the bottom lane; looks like he's going to gank there. OMG definitely needs to gank their bottom lane!"
"This wave has already been pushed to the tower. OMG's bot lane, who just recalled and isn't in a hurry, has no Zyra's seed and no vision. This position is very dangerous!" Changmao said nervously, "They're still rookies. Pushing forward without vision is a bit too overconfident."
"Wait, Word6's Lee Sin has also arrived in the bottom lane. What a coincidence!"
On the field.
Chu Shi, Zyra, and Sima Laozei's Jhin have already arrived online. They informed Xiao Liu the moment they returned to base to resupply.
This is also why Lee Sin comes to the bottom lane.
In his opinion, IM's bot lane duo would never give up so easily; if they couldn't win in lane, they would most likely call their jungler over.
Even if the opponent has an economic advantage, it's not easy to handle a three-on-two situation.
Of course, even if the enemy jungler hasn't arrived, this is still a great opportunity.
Both he and Sima Laozei's Jhin are about to reach level 6. At this point, if the jungler comes over, they can easily tower dive and kill him.
While Chu Shi was pondering, Thresh under the tower did not hesitate at all and immediately used Flash to head straight for Zyra and Jhin.
"Launch an attack from the shadows!"
From the river bushes, the Mantis immediately activated its ultimate ability to become invisible and headed towards the bottom lane.
"Here they come! Thresh flashes, Kha'Zix uses his ultimate!" Miller shouted. "Their target is Zyra, they're going to get Zyra's kill."
