“All-out attack.”
As the minions marched onto the lane.
Both sides' minions clashed equally.
The two sides entered a fierce laning phase.
The entire Summoner's Rift was shrouded in a haze of war, on the verge of eruption!
The director, a veteran of the game, gave the top lane a lot of screen time.
He obviously wanted to see how the new RNG top laner, Jiang Chen, performed.
Jiang Chen's luck was good.
Riven's passive, Broken Wings, refreshed to the front.
Wunder, G2's top laner, did not retreat to the shadows to wait for her passive to refresh.
Because retreating a few steps would lose lane dominance and he wouldn't have a chance to get to level 2.
Riven becomes a different beast at level 3, the lane becomes much easier for her.
It would be much harder to pressure her then.
Moreover.
Level 1, the Aatrox was indeed much stronger than Riven.
Although it was said that Riven counters Aatrox, that only happens when she reaches level 3.
It also depends on the timing of Riven's block. Before learning her W, Valor, the two heroes were not on the same level.
Even after learning Valor.
If she didn't block Aatrox's key skill.
Riven wouldn't have the advantage.
So Wunder judged.
Jiang Chen wouldn't dare to attack the "Broken Wings."
Even if Jiang Chen did attack the "Broken Wings."
He could use his three-stage Q, the exchange would still be profitable.
…
But Jiang Chen seemed to be oblivious to the situation.
He controlled Riven to walk forward two steps, his finger pressed Q, the Broken Wings slashed forward a distance and directly hit the "Broken Wings" that refreshed in front of him!
The "Broken Wings" exploded into fireworks, like shattered multicolored petals, and refreshed to the right.
G2's top laner was stunned, immediately pulling his position towards the direction where "Broken Wings" refreshed, making it harder for Jiang Chen to hit the new "Broken Wings."
At the same time, the large sword in the Aatrox's hand was swung towards Riven!
The first Q had the longest range, the second Q was slightly shorter, and the third Q dealt the highest damage. All hits!
The sword got heavier and heavier, and the damage became higher and higher.
After the entire combo, Jiang Chen's HP was down to half...
G2's head coach, seeing this scene in the lounge.
The weight on his heart finally lifted.
All he could think was, how did this guy manage to become the RNG substitute top laner?
The Royal Club must have gone mad, letting such a scumbag play?
Or are they really like the rumors say, they're betting?
…
In the player's seat.
On RNG's side.
Xiao Hu bit his lip hard, suppressing his anger.
“Jiang Chen, just farm on the lane, why do you need to Q up? Riven wants to fight at level 1, she should walk up to break the Broken Wings, using the increased movement speed from her passive. Q to hit the second Broken Wings, then pull away. How can you gain any advantage from this trade?"
"Sorry, I messed up this time." Jiang Chen explained.
In fact, Jiang Chen just wanted to throw.
One kill, unlocks the strength to become the first in the server.
Two kills, unlocks the strength to become the world's best.
Three kills, unlocks the strength to be meticulous.
Not to throw, is that stupid?
To throw, is to throw hard.
Uzi, sitting beside him, didn't say anything.
But the screen switched to the top lane, watching Jiang Chen already start to eat HP potions, he instantly widened his eyes, even the chewing motion of his chewing gum stopped...
He was already taking HP potions before the first wave of minions was cleared.
This is crazy...
…
On the live streaming platforms, RNG fans were going crazy.
They wanted to throw Jiang Chen into the sea with his chair.
Those who couldn't handle it, directly closed their live streams and went to play games.
“Is that all? Is that all? No way, no way! Is there anyone who thinks RNG can win?!”
“Congratulations to RNG for securing top 8, setting another record."
"If I were up there, I could do it too."
“Stop embarrassing yourself, swim back here..."
…
Douyu and Huya's live stream popularity broke through 20 million.
The barrage was full of insults calling Jiang Chen an "orphan" and a "weird top laner."
Miller saw the RNG fans' mentality explode, and quickly comforted them: “Jiang Chen made a small mistake in his level 1 laning, but it's okay, he has a chance to turn it around at level 3.”
In the game.
Jiang Chen continued his "performance."
He smiled slightly, clicked his mouse, and controlled Riven to step forward, awkwardly farming minions.
Between minion waves.
He pressed shift + 1.
Riven immediately mocked, "Talent, honor, faith and Meitu!"
Then.
He drew a Teemo on the ground.
Jiang Chen thought: “You can actually endure this, you won't hit me, hit me, hit me quickly!”
Wunder couldn't hold back.
Level 1 Riven, you're being so cocky.
You're still out of potions.
A single Q took out a bar of Riven's HP.
Jiang Chen seemed to be confused, he froze for a moment, and was hit by Aatrox's second Q again.
He quickly controlled Riven to retreat.
Only one sentence remained in his mind—Well done! Wunder.
After that, Jiang Chen started to play it safe.
Just as he stepped forward to use a Q to break the Broken Wings, he was solo killed.
…
In the Busan Arena, the sound of a first blood explosion echoed.
First blood!
Miller glanced subconsciously at the screen, he almost vomited blood.
It was Jiang Chen who had given a kill.
Miller: "…"
The audience: "…"
At that moment.
Miller wanted to find a crack in the earth and crawl into it.
Just after giving some support, you did that? You're a slap in the face?
Dude, I'm just a commentator, don't come and mess with me...
…
But he still had to save face, Miller said with a look of regret:
“This was a big mistake by Jiang Chen. If he had farmed safely to level 6, the Aatrox wouldn't be as difficult to play against. Luckily, there was no dragon or herald, it was just a dry kill, the impact isn't too big, he still has TP, and he didn't lose any XP. He can TP back and still fight..."
The audience: "Can still fight your ass..."
