Chapter 15: You Glass Cannon, Can You Show Some Respect to the Turret?

After a successful counter-attack in the top lane, EDG instantly gained a lead of nearly two thousand gold.

At the ten-minute mark, a two-thousand gold lead was already considered a significant advantage.

Even so, very few viewers believed EDG could win.

Even the official win probability prediction placed EDG at only 43%.

This was because more than half of EDG's gold lead was concentrated on the top lane Tahm Kench—no, wait, the text says "Time Old Man" (Zilean). More than half of the lead was on Zilean.

But what use was a high gold lead on a Zilean?

If he missed his "two bombs and an R" combo in a teamfight, he would instantly turn into a super minion.

At least, that was what most people thought.

As the person involved, Su Mo was unaware of everyone's thoughts; he had already returned to base to finish his items.

At ten minutes, he had already reached level nine, leading the entire field by at least one level.

It was worth mentioning that Shen was still only level five.

Upon returning to the lane, Shen was already equipped with Mercury's Treads and a full set of magic resistance items.

As usual, Shen was simply waiting for the minion wave to enter the tower, refusing to step out under the turret.

Su Mo knew that trying to solo kill Shen again would be somewhat troublesome.

He might as well find something else to do elsewhere.

With that thought, Su Mo quickly cleared the top lane wave and ducked into the top-side brush.

Once out of Shen's line of sight, he immediately circled around the top-side triangular brush and entered the enemy jungle.

Because Shen had been suppressed under the tower, there was a high probability that RNG had no wards in this area.

Su Mo wanted to see if he could find MaLaXiangGuo's Gragas in the enemy jungle.

Although his Zilean would find it difficult to solo kill Gragas, catching a bit of "torment points" from him would definitely be no problem.

However, after circling the enemy's top-side jungle and reaching the enemy's F6 position, Su Mo still saw no sign of Gragas, and the enemy jungle camps had all been cleared.

He felt a bit disappointed, but he still sent a reminder: "Be careful in the bot lane, Gragas is in the bottom jungle."

After speaking, Su Mo glanced at the mid lane. At this moment, the mid lane wave had just spawned, and both Ryze and Taliyah were on the lane.

Seeing this, Su Mo's eyes lit up.

Since he couldn't find MaLaXiangGuo's Gragas, then...

Taliyah might be a good choice as well.

Since he was already here, he might as well.

"Junior, I'm coming to help you get kills."

As Su Mo finished speaking, he emerged from the brush next to the enemy's F6.

Meanwhile.

In the RNG team, everyone had recovered from the recent setback in the top lane and was communicating tactics.

MaLaXiangGuo said while clearing jungle: "Xiaohu, I'll finish clearing my camps soon. Clear your mid lane and come to bot; let's gank them together."

"Okay, I'll be there soon," Xiaohu nodded in response.

After the recent lesson, they felt it was safer to focus on the bot lane...

That Zilean in the top lane was just too damn annoying; they decided to let Letme suffer in silence in the top lane.

"But the Zilean isn't gone," Xiaohu glanced at the mini-map. "He has Teleport. When the fight breaks out, he can TP in. We need to be careful."

MaLaXiangGuo snorted lightly. "It's fine. Letme is level six too, he can use his ultimate. We aren't afraid of a 5v5."

Although the current Zilean was very fed, with his gold and level leading the entire field,

He was still just a Zilean. Once he threw his two bombs and his ultimate, he would be no different from a super minion.

Letme nodded. "True. If he really dares to show up, we'll make sure he leaves without—"

However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw a figure rushing quickly from behind his defensive tower.

It was Zilean!

"Huh?" Xiaohu was stunned. "How did he come from there? Isn't that our jungle behind him! And that's our tower!"

Before he could think further, Zilean had already arrived.

Ryze was in front, and Zilean was behind.

Having bypassed the defensive tower, Zilean didn't hesitate, immediately throwing two bombs (Q-W) at Taliyah.

Xiaohu attempted to dodge, but he still couldn't avoid them, being stunned in place by the consecutive bombs.

Ryze followed up immediately, triggering Lightning with a Q-E-W-Q-A combo, leaving Taliyah with only a sliver of health.

After the stun ended, Xiaohu pressed E-W to knock Ryze back and then ran toward the defensive tower.

With his current health and a Zilean bomb attached to his head, he would be dead for sure as soon as the bomb exploded.

But, he was going to give this kill to Zilean.

After all, Scout's Ryze was clearly much more impactful than Zilean.

He only wanted to minimize the losses.

*Boom!*

Just as he reached the tower, the bomb exploded, taking the last bit of Taliyah's health.

"Killing Spree"

A prominent notification appeared on the screen.

Zilean was on a rampage!

Looking at the grayed-out screen, Xiaohu was somewhat dazed.

He knew Zilean was annoying, but he didn't expect him to be this annoying!

Playing Zilean, why are you trying to play like a flanker!

Can you show some respect to the defensive tower!

And besides, Zilean had been gone for so long, yet Letme didn't even say anything. This guy...

Xiaohu turned to look at Letme nearby, only to see Letme looking wooden, as if he had lost his soul, his hair even looking disheveled from scratching it.

Uh...

This guy... could it be that he had been driven mad by Zilean?

The questions Xiaohu wanted to ask were instantly swallowed back down.

This Zilean is truly disgusting!

He couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

【Obtained +50 Torment Points from Xiaohu】

On the other side, Su Mo's brow twitched upon receiving the notification.

Fifty at once? Xiaohu is quite generous!

This gank was a massive profit!

After killing Taliyah, Su Mo was about to head back to the top lane when he heard Meiko's wail

"Su Mo, you're awesome, but our bot lane can't hold on much longer! Can you help us..."

Meiko was feeling bitter. Previously, although the bot lane couldn't beat the opponents, the mid and jungle worked in tandem to support them, relieving much of the pressure.

But in this game, Clearlove and Scout had completely abandoned them to run to the top lane to help Zilean...

Hearing Meiko's complaint, Su Mo glanced at the bot lane.

Sure enough, Caitlyn and Lulu were currently pressing up against the tower, and Zet's Varus could only focus on last-hitting under the turret.

At the eleven-minute mark, Caitlyn had 113 CS and Varus had 74 CS; Zet was being suppressed by nearly forty CS.

The gap was undeniably large.

"Let's go, to the bot lane!" Su Mo made an immediate decision. "Taliyah is dead, we can go straight in for a five-on-four. I have my ultimate; we can fight freely."

"Ah, this... alright!" Clearlove hesitated for two seconds but ultimately did not object.

Subsequently, Zilean, Ryze, and Rengar traveled together from their own jungle toward the bot lane.

Clearlove even used a Scan to ensure there was no vision along the way.

The actions of the three players naturally caught the attention of the casters.

Guan Zeyuan watched the game screen and said, "Mo just executed a flank to kill Taliyah, and now he's heading bot. It looks like he has designs on Uzi."

"RNG's bot lane has clearly guessed EDG's intention. Caitlyn and Lulu are starting to retreat. With Gragas's protection, this retreat should be quite easy. It looks like EDG is going to end up with nothing."

According to the normal rhythm of a match, Guan Zeyuan's guess was undoubtedly correct.

However, this match was clearly not quite normal.

Because Su Mo was in it!

"Clearlove, just use your ultimate directly. I'll provide bombs and acceleration; you go and catch them!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Clearlove looked bewildered. "Huh? Me?"

"Yes, you."

"I'm a squishy assassin!" Clearlove's mouth twitched slightly.

The enemy jungler was a pure-damage Gragas, paired with Caitlyn and Lulu. If he, a squishy Rengar, went in...

Was he going there to catch someone, or just to feed?
