Chapter 126 A Simple Yet Perfect Tower Dive Kill
Fang Han controlled the Sword Saint, hiding in the grass, quietly watching the cautious Fiora come online.
Khan kept his distance from the bushes, not giving Fang Han any chance to get close enough to exchange blows.
Upon seeing Khan's proposed solutions, Fang Han's lips curled into a smile.
Sure enough, Brother Hanzi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you.
Come to think of it, how could a regular at the World Championship be a noob?
The failure to achieve good results is not the fault of any single player on the team, but rather a shortcoming of the entire team!
At this moment, Fang Han felt even more respect for the top laners from his previous life.
However, respect is one thing, but that's a matter for off the field.
On the field, there will only be one outcome for anyone who goes up against Arthur.
That's a complete mental breakdown!
The two sides' minion waves converged, and the Sword Saint emerged from the bush, approaching Fiora while attacking the minions.
The first wave of minions consists of six minions; attack every other minion.
This is clearly not about contesting the lane, but about stacking passive abilities.
The time has come.
The Sword Saint moved towards the river, pressuring Fiora's position.
Fiora, who originally wanted to take control of the lane, now finds it difficult to leave.
Because he is now closer to RNG's top lane turret, he would have to retreat to his own turret unscathed unless he disconnects.
The Sword Saint, having stacked his passive dual blades, gradually approached, leaving Khan with little time to think.
While finishing off the low-health melee minions, Khan swayed left and right, trying to create an opening in the Master Yi's positioning so that he could use his Q skill to create distance and retreat back to the tower with minimal loss.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to fight a sword saint who's already got a sliver of fire in his body!
But standing in front of him was Arthur.
In this situation, the best course of action is to do nothing!
Fang Han clicked the mouse on Fiora's head, causing his Master Yi to walk straight towards Fiora's face.
The closer the two heroes are, the less room Fiora has to escape.
There wasn't much space left around the Sword Saint. After Khan finished off the third minion, he immediately used Q to try and exploit the opening and quickly create distance.
In Khan's eyes, this was the only flaw!
Little did he know that the flaw he saw was merely a deliberate trick by Fang Han to show him.
As if he had anticipated Fiora's Q skill, the Master Yi took a small step upwards, preventing Fiora's Sky Piercing Slash from hitting the opening.
Failing to exploit the opening means Fiora cannot gain movement speed immediately.
By the time Khan adjusted his positioning and created an opening, Juggernaut's first burst of damage, combined with a powerful attack, had already been unleashed.
With just a double-blade combo followed by a basic attack, Fiora lost a third of her health.
Fiora accelerated towards her own tower, but just as she was about to leave the range of Master Yi's Q skill, Fang Han caught up with her and used Alpha Strike.
With a barrage of basic attacks and Q skill damage, Fiora's health bar was instantly reduced to less than a third.
This health level is ambiguous.
Against a Blademaster with Ignite, this health level can be reduced to near death with just Ignite and a dual-wielding attack.
Khan held back all the way, but finally used Flash in front of his own tower.
There's no other way; if I don't use Flash soon, I'll give up First Blood.
If the Sword Saint gets First Blood, his snowballing ability will be unimaginable.
He was forced to use Flash within the first two minutes of the game? This scene seems familiar.
"Huh? Not again? Why is it another flashy move within the first minute of the game?"
"Is Khan under so much pressure? Is he that afraid of Arthur?"
"Didn't you see the flames on the Sword Saint? If you dare turn around, the Sword Saint will kill you."
"How could someone possibly win a level one duel with two dual swords?"
"Is Khan really that reckless? He's hiding under the tower; once he levels up, he can easily take on opponents."
"Sigh, I'm still too eager to prove myself."
"Is this the 'top lane succubus' that people on the internet are talking about? Why is everyone trying to outplay Arthur at level one?"
"Who knows? Actually, Khan handled things quite well when he went online earlier."
"There's no way around it, other top laners might consider more factors, but our Knight King only has fighting on his mind!"
"..."
Khan, with only a sliver of health remaining, returned to the tower, his face covered in sweat.
In just this first exchange, he felt the terrifying pressure from Arthur.
Even though this roster overhaul was simple and unpretentious, Khan still felt like he was being suppressed by Arthur.
Fortunately, Khan is different from the other top laners who have faced Fang Han.
Despite carrying a bottle of red potion, Khan dared not be careless and immediately used the teleportation spell to return to town.
As for the enemy's minion wave that's stuck under their tower, you can only wait to teleport back before dealing with it.
"Are you alright? Should I come up and help after I finish clearing the jungle?"
Peanut was clearing the jungle in the top half of the map while keeping an eye on the top lane matchup.
As someone who had been defeated by Arthur, he was terrified of Arthur's unusual hero pool.
If Arthur picks a standard top lane fighter, he wouldn't be worried at all.
But Arthur is all about information asymmetry!
Moreover, having learned his lesson, Peanut had no intention of getting on the road.
Let the top laners do whatever they want in lane; he doesn't want to see this Master Yi even once during the laning phase!
KZ is a traditionally strong team with three cores! Even if Khan is silent in the top lane, the Irelia in the mid lane and the AD carry in the bot lane can still shoulder the responsibility of carrying the team!
In contrast, what are RNG's two carries?
A Sion and a Quinn? Would they even dare to glance at Irelia in the mid-to-late game?
Look at it one more time and it'll explode! Understand?
This is the Conqueror Irelia, do you understand the value of every hit being true damage?
Peanut was clearing jungle camps with a smile on his face.
The future looks incredibly bright!
There's no need to worry about Arthur on the top lane, and no need to be concerned about him appearing in various corners of the map!
If RNG can suppress Uzi in the bottom lane, their lineup will collapse in the mid-to-late game!
What champion team? What I, Peanut, lost to you last year, I will take it all back!
Little Peanut exerted a little force in his arm.
The MSI championship is within reach! After winning the Mid-Season Invitational, KZ will be unstoppable and will surely advance to the World Championship!
The invincible King of Knights? He just hasn't met our KZ yet!
I will personally pull him down from his pedestal!
Peanut was completely ecstatic.
It was as if the whole game would proceed smoothly as he had planned.
FirstBlood!
Just as Peanut stepped into the lower half of the bracket, a system announcement shattered all his illusions.
Fiora, who had just teleported to the top lane, was actually tower-dived and killed by a level 3 Master Yi.
What's most infuriating is that the Sword Saint escaped with a sliver of health?
"How did you die?"
Little Peanut blurted out this sentence without thinking.
It wasn't that he was blaming Khan; he just really wanted to know how a full-health Fiora could die under the tower.
Khan was completely stunned and remained silent for a long time.
There is absolutely no room for maneuver.
The Sword Saint pushes into the tower to harass the enemy, takes two hits from the tower, pulls them out of the tower, and at the same time lowers his health to trigger Unyielding.
In the second wave, he entered the tower again, used his dual blades, activated his E skill, and used a basic attack to ignite the enemy at close range, instantly killing Fiora who had a third of her health.
Then, he used Q to pull himself out of the turret's range and followed up with W to heal, surviving with a sliver of health.
To put it simply as flashy... it's all basic Sword Saint maneuvers, the kind of plays that even a Gold Sword Saint with a terminal illness could pull off.
But Arthur's perfectly timed damage calculations and skill usage allowed him to pull off an unstoppable tower dive against a full-health Fiora.
Fang Han even took into account the fact that Fiora reached level two at the last moment before she died, and deliberately added a crucial auto-attack before leaving the tower.
Perfect calculation! Perfect execution! Perfect tower dive!
