The Bot Lane Returns

The previous reminder to Tang Yang to have his ADC Twitch attack first, Lin Xiao's calculation was precisely for this moment.
His ADC Twitch stealthily entered, approached the target Ahri, and after throwing a W that could 100% guarantee a slow on the opponent, if the opponent wanted to live, they would inevitably have to use Flash to escape.
And in a situation where she hadn't reached level six, once Flash was used, Ahri would no longer have any other mobility spells.
Thus, at this moment, Tang Yang's Syndra would Flash in, and her Q-E combo could undoubtedly knock back and stun Ahri.
And what then?
Then it was time to secure the kill.
Pew!—Pew!—Pew!—
Twitch raised his short crossbow, cackling eerily as he fired poisoned auto-attack arrows at the target Ahri, rapidly stacking passive ability layers.
Approximately 6 stacks full!
Finally, at the moment the purple team's mid laner Ahri desperately fled under the defensive turret, Lin Xiao also simultaneously pressed E.
"Contaminate"!
The 6 stacks of deadly poison passive on Ahri instantly detonated together!
The health bar above her head suddenly went from a quarter of health remaining to completely empty. The Nine-Tailed Fox's lively eyes instantly lost all vitality, and her weary body slowly collapsed.
Accompanied by this, the system's female voice announced the kill, unexpectedly echoing in Summoner's Rift's mid lane:
"First Blood—"
First Blood! !
...
On the stage, the excited host's commentary burst forth, showering undisguised praise on this unexpected mid lane gank by the blue team's ADC Twitch.
At the same time, the audience erupted in a round of enthusiastic cheers and applause.
This mid lane gank, the blue team's Twitch player was truly amazing!
Who could have imagined that during the continuous lane swaps, this Twitch could silently plan a move to mid lane?
It was simply unpredictable!
"First Blood hahahaha! Twitch First Blood, oh yeah!!"
A Ya couldn't help but jump up and cheer, looking like someone who would never be guessed to be a cheerleader for Hua Cai Team.
Ren Yue's face was filled with pleasant surprise, as she tightly clenched her fists: "Xiao Xiao Zi is indeed powerful!"
Qiao Xin Yu laughed and assessed: "Ah, not bad at all—but Chu He, the club president, must be very annoyed right now."
...
Indeed, at this moment, Chu He was quite annoyed.
In the entire Hua Cai Team, he was always the most stable player. In the laning phase of a match, he was always extremely cautious, basically never leaving many gank opportunities for opponents.
However, in this game, it was his mid laner Ahri who gave up First Blood.
But this was truly unavoidable; no matter how much he prepared, he truly couldn't predict that the opposing Twitch could appear out of nowhere and suddenly run to his mid lane.
Moreover, he actually used Flash a bit too early just now; he should have waited a bit to dodge Syndra's Q-E combo...
Reflecting on this, Chu He also quickly made arrangements:
"Bot lane, ward the river, be careful of the opponent directly taking Elemental Dragon."
It was bad enough that his mid lane had given up First Blood, but the first Elemental Dragon absolutely could not be taken by the opponent.
Fortunately, someone was not in a hurry to take the Elemental Dragon.
"It'll come eventually, no need to rush..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Xiao had already controlled his ADC Twitch to run to the top lane, continuing his rhythm of farming and scaling.
Originally, in this game, their blue team's lineup was a strong team-fighting composition for the mid and late game. If they rushed into team fights now, they wouldn't gain much advantage over the opponent.
So, it was better to take it slow.
Once his ADC Twitch's level increased and his items further developed, that would be the moment for Deadly Venom to unleash its full power.
...
Around the 10-11 minute mark of the game, the purple team's top lane outer turret was easily destroyed by Lin Xiao's ADC Twitch.
At the same time, although the blue team's bot lane outer turret also endured attacks from the opposing Lucian and Thresh, its health was still nearly half, meaning that Nan Hua Team's blue team now had a turret advantage.
It was also around this time that Lin Xiao finally chose to lane swap again.
His ADC Twitch and Huang Gou's Support Nami swapped back to the bot lane, officially beginning a normal standoff with the opposing bot lane duo.
"Oh, they're only swapping back now—"
On the stage, the host exclaimed:
"It must be said that Nan Hua Team's early game lane swap strategy was truly very successful. Twitch has basically passed his weak early laning phase; next, facing Lucian, he no longer needs to be overly cautious."
In Hua Cai Team's competition room.
In front of the computer screen, Zheng Tian controlled Lucian, farming minions and controlling the bot lane, watching the blue team's ADC Twitch slowly drift towards him from behind the turret, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:
Finally, he had waited!
The continuous lane swaps before had filled his stomach with frustration and resentment.
But now, the opponent was finally no longer hiding, daring to face him head-on in a direct confrontation—
So what if he had passed his weak early game? So what if his minion farm was slightly ahead? Next, he would let him know that Lucian's powerful dueling ability could still suppress him to death!
...
But Zheng Tian quickly discovered that the actual situation seemed far different from his expectations.
Although he intentionally wanted to aggressively suppress that Twitch, the latter's movement mechanics... were truly as slippery as an eel!
Not far away, a purple team melee minion had a sliver of health left.
Twitch leisurely stepped forward, preparing an auto-attack to farm the minion.
Lucian, like lightning, almost simultaneously dashed forward, raising his twin pistols for a Q "Piercing Light" aimed at the target Twitch.
Bang!—
A beam of silver-white Holy Light pierced through the air, shooting straight towards the target, but at the same time, that blue team ADC Twitch seemed to have known in advance, deftly tilting his body with a small, elusive movement, narrowly and elegantly dodging this Q ability attack.
He then counterattacked with his W "Venom Cask"; with a "thump," a stream of foul green poison viciously splashed onto Lucian's face.
Following that, Twitch continued to shoot auto-attacks with his crossbow at the opponent, stacking his passive to 4 layers.
Zheng Tian angrily controlled his Purifier to retaliate with an auto-attack, also quickly following up with his W "Ardent Blaze" to prepare for the passive rapid-fire auto-attack effect.
But at this moment, Huang Gou's Support Nami on the blue team arrived, brandishing her ocean staff, throwing out a Q "Aqua Prison" towards Lucian.
If he were hit by this "Aqua Prison," he would take some damage.
Immediately, Zheng Tian was forced to use his E "Relentless Pursuit" to dash backward, but at the very moment he retreated, Lin Xiao had waited for the opportunity and finally landed one more poisoned auto-attack.
Passive stacked to 5 layers.
Hmm, not much difference~
In the next second, Lin Xiao calmly and leisurely pressed E, detonating all the poison arrow passive stacks on the opposing Lucian.
"Damn it, hateful..."
Seeing his Lucian's health bar suddenly drop by nearly half, Zheng Tian's expression also became extremely ugly.
He realized... In terms of online dueling, the opposing Lin Xiao seemed to be putting far more pressure on him than he was putting on the opponent.
And it was a lot more.
