Oh, Seeking Death?

As the Support, Lin Xiao here essentially did nothing but purely control his Support Annie to roam mid for a bit, and he managed to force out the opposing Mid Laner's Flash.
With that, Jiang Ran's Mid Orianna could play with even more advantage and initiative, and coordinating with Dian Dong Ci Li Bang's Jungle Rek'Sai could also create greater kill opportunities.
Online, numerous national server players were almost excitedly jumping and praising Lin Xiao:
As expected of the great god Hui Qi Lian Dao!
Just showing his face forced out a Flash; that's the power of deterrence!
At the same time in the Top Lane, when Lin Xiao's Support Annie appeared in the Mid Lane, Qiao Xin Yu's ADC Kalista had already chosen to retreat a step earlier, subtly and skillfully making the opposing Support Thresh's aggressive engage intent disappear completely.
These were all details.
But victory and defeat were equally decided by these details.
Apart from the Top Lane, in the Bot Lane, Tu Dou had successfully caught the opponent's lane swap, and was now controlling his Top Olaf to smoothly establish an advantage and proactive rhythm in the Bot Lane.
Tu Dou was facing Team Dream's Top Rumble.
In fact, no matter which Top Lane champion he faced, as long as he himself was playing Olaf, the early game in the Top Lane was basically the same.
It was dominance.
Olaf's early game lane presence was simply too aggressive and reckless, even on the World Championship stage.
Team Dream's Top Rumble played extremely cautiously. This Rumble player also clearly understood what would happen if he was hit by Olaf's Q skill, being slowed and controlled, so he was always carefully on guard.
But caution was useless.
...
For Tu Dou, his thinking was very simple.
No matter how cautious you Rumble are, you still have to go up to farm minions, right?
If you go up, I'll look for an opportunity to Q you.
Although his "mad dog Olaf" playstyle had rarely appeared in professional matches recently, it didn't mean he had become unfamiliar with controlling his signature champion. On the contrary, the more he played, the more accustomed he became, the smoother his play, even developing his own insights.
One Q skill axe throw missed.
The second hit, but at a slightly longer range.
Finally, the...
Boom!!
Accompanied by a heavy thud, energy ripples splashed out, Olaf's Q skill "Undertow" axe hit Rumble, and at the same time, Tu Dou, without thinking, rapidly controlled his Olaf to charge forward and attack.
The timing was just right; Rumble's E skill "Electro Harpoon" was still on cooldown. Immediately after, Olaf's body moved unimpeded, rapidly closing in on the slowed Rumble.
Picking up the axe, another Q!
Picking up the axe again, Tu Dou suddenly seemed to consciously try to pause his Q-auto-attack rhythm for a moment.
It was precisely at this moment that Team Dream's Top Rumble used Flash to escape. In the VIP seats below the stage, people smirked, revealing satisfied smiles, while Jiang Hao Jie clapped his thigh and praised loudly:
"Nice!"
"Damn it, this Tu Dou is so cunning!"
...
Indeed, cunning.
This time, Rumble's Flash was originally timed to dodge Olaf's next Q axe throw. If he wanted to Flash to avoid the next axe, this Tu Dou deliberately paused for an instant, changing his Q-auto-attack rhythm, causing Rumble to Flash prematurely.
And Olaf's axe was still in his hand.
Thus, Rumble, without Flash to escape, directly became an easy living target. Tu Dou controlled Olaf, and only then did he rapidly unleash another Q skill axe throw, accurately hitting the target, continuing to slow and stick to him!
Rumble retreated into his turret.
And just at this moment, a figure rapidly flashed out from the tri-bush behind Team Dream's Bot Lane outer turret, burrowing from underground to rapidly approach Rumble under the turret!
It was the Blue Team's Jungle Rek'Sai!
The Void Burrower, controlled by Dian Dong Ci Li Bang, had just arrived!
A Flash engage suddenly Un-burrowed, violently knocking Rumble into the air for control, while Tu Dou's Olaf strode in pursuit, activating his W skill to rapidly continue Q-auto-attacking, and finally, an "Undertow" axe throw directly took down Rumble under the turret!
"First Blood!"
First Blood secured!
The arena erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.
Online, in the World Championship live streams of major platforms, comments had already wildly flooded the screen!
All the national server players were so excited they couldn't contain themselves, practically bursting into flames!
!
Olaf First Blood!!
Tu Dou's mad dog Olaf is about to start a rampage and explode the rhythm again!!
...
The Top Lane was originally a snowballing lane.
After a kill under the turret, Tu Dou's Top Olaf immediately gained a huge advantage, while Team Dream's Top Rumble was almost half-crippled, no longer a match for Olaf in lane.
Team Dream almost immediately and decisively chose to lane swap again.
And on the Blue Team's side, Lin Xiao similarly calmly issued lane swap commands.
They had to force you to lane swap.
They wanted to drag you into a standard chess match.
When the game time reached the tenth minute, the opposing stats on the field were still 0-0, but in reality, in the Top Lane alone, Team Dream's Top Rumble's minion farm was completely dominated by Tu Dou's Olaf, with a difference of about 30 minions.
It could be said that after Rumble was killed once, he was so suppressed in the Top Lane that he couldn't even farm a single minion.
And Team Dream's Jungle Jarvan IV also didn't choose to help his Top Laner, because in this kind of high-level World Championship competition, the principle of "help the strong, not the weak" was even more clearly applied.
At this stage, unless the opposing Olaf was pushing to the inner turret for a kill, even if Jarvan IV ganked here, coordinating with a disadvantaged Rumble might not actually achieve anything against an Olaf who already had First Blood.
A reverse kill was even more likely to happen.
So Jarvan IV chose a Bot Lane gank.
Online, national server players in major live streams, through the God's Eye perspective, saw the movements and direction of Team Dream's Jungle Jarvan IV.
Then they all rejoiced:
Oh, this Jarvan is running down to Bot Lane to die, isn't he?
No one was worried about the safety of Team Back's Bot Lane.
