Chapter 480: LeBlanc’s Unbreakable Control

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Langjie played it extremely safely until he reached Level 4. When he got to Level 4, it became slightly easier for him.

The problem was, he was already Level 5 but he only had fifteen last hits. There was a significant difference between them.

Now, the only way they could get back the lane depended on the Support!

Upon reaching Level 4, Luocheng had finally leveled up his E-skill, Ethereal Chains.

He moved his cursor over to Twitch to check on the latter’s remaining health.

Under normal circumstances, the set of skills that he would use would start with the Q-skill, Sigil of Malice, and then follow up with the W-skill, Distortion, to land on the enemy. This way, there would be the effect of three skills. After that, he could recast his W-skill to return to his original position!

But to the players that knew LeBlanc well, they would always maintain their distance with LeBlanc. This was because if you got into the range of her Q-skill, you would not be able to fight back.

After reaching a higher level, Langjie became sharper. He always maintained the distance between him and LeBlanc so as to not give Luocheng a chance to use his skills. Furthermore, there was a Blitzcrank there to protect him. Of course, Luocheng would not go past the minion wave. If he was hooked by the Blitzcrank, there would be a lot of damage done to them!

That was why he needed to use another tactic!

Twitch’s health was not at a very convenient level, and so, Luocheng waited patiently to get the chance to kill him, like a hunter stalking his prey.

He made sure that he had enough mana to execute his set of skills.

He walked back and forth near the minion wave, using his basic attack to harass Blitzcrank whenever he could to add four gold to his income.

***

Jupiter also played the best he could.

Every Blitzcrank needed a good chance to make a play. A single movement mistake by the enemy, the minion wall moving, the angle of the hook, and most importantly, the correct timing!

LeBlanc had a lot of damage as a Support. Even so, she was a champion that had very low maximum health. If they could just hook her over and stun her, after a few shots from Twitch, they would get the kill easily.

Team Sky was certain that if they continued being pressured, the enemy would definitely reach Level 6 before them. The minion wave that would come when they reached Level 6 would be their end, because they knew that LeBlanc had combos that could definitely kill them!

He was waiting for the right time to pull LeBlanc to him. He just needed to pull her once. He did not need to kill her, he would be satisfied with just lowering her health by a lot!

Jupiter paid his utmost attention to Luocheng’s LeBlanc. As expected, Luocheng came in to attack him with a basic attack yet again!

Every single Support which had the item Spellthief’s Edge would have the urge to attack the enemy as soon as they got a charge to get the extra gold.

Luocheng was no exception, and this was how Jupiter was trying to find an opening!

Of course, it would be when she tried to attack!

Every champion had an attack animation when they cast their basic attack. LeBlanc’s attack animation was especially obvious. It was when she held up her staff!

Jupiter had to give credit to Luocheng for his perfect skill in hiding in between the minions. Normally, no one would hook at this time because there would be a high chance for them to hook a minion!

However, Jupiter had the confidence that he could do it!

Blitzcrank’s grab had a small special detail. When he used his rocket grab skill, the skill would show up on his left hand, but instead, it would fire from his right hand. If he did it correctly, he would be able to grab the enemy from even a tiny gap between the minions!

Rocket Grab!

Jupiter’s Rocket Grab soared through the sky and through the bush toward LeBlanc who was in between some minions.

The rocket hand hit right on Luocheng’s LeBlanc, and it was through a tiny gap between all the minions!

The audience was flabbergasted. That play that he had made just now might be one of the hardest things to do with this champion!

It had landed!

A big smile appeared on Jupiter’s face!

When Langjie saw Jupiter’s play, his eyes lit up as well!

Finally, finally they had found a chance. They had to kill him even if they had to use their Flashes!

Langjie had prepared his skills to fight against LeBlanc’s frightening burst of skills.

***

Luocheng did not appear to be flustered at all after being hooked.

When he saw that his LeBlanc was hooked by Blitzcrank, he did not wait until Blitzcrank could punch him into the air. Instead, he Flashed to escape Blitzcrank’s grasp!

Luocheng’s Flash was not aimed toward the back, instead, it was aimed right onto Twitch!

Sigil of Malice!

Her Q-skill landed on Twitch, and subsequently, she used her second skill to step on Twitch elegantly!

After these two skills, Luocheng followed up with his E-skill, Ethereal Chains!

A golden chain appeared from LeBlanc’s staff. At this angle, Twitch would be unable to dodge it…

LeBlanc was almost similar to Lee Sin in terms of their skills having two parts to them.

The first part of the Q-skill was to deal damage and also leave a mark. The second part of the skill was to do more damage as well as silence the enemy.

The W-skill’s first part was a movement skill paired with some damage. The second part was to go back to the starting point.

Luocheng had used the skill very cleanly, using his QW-combo to get right in front of Twitch. With that, he could trigger the second part of the Q skill!

After getting silenced, Twitch could not Flash out of the situation!

Having chained Langjie, Langjie was unable to dodge it no matter how hard he tried. The three skills and the two parts of the skills were all triggered, and this amount of damage destroyed Langjie’s shield!

At first, he had wanted to use Flash to try to run, but before the one and a half seconds of silence could end, Ethereal Chains was used to follow up!

This was basically a three second control!

In these three seconds, Lin Dong did not need to use any form of movement skills to get up to Twitch’s face!

Luocheng’s combo easily destroyed the shield from Twitch and also took him down to half health. With an Ignite, Lin Dong’s Lucian could kill Twitch easily!

First Blood!!!

The four thousand people in the venue all cheered and clapped!

Langjie and Jupiter looked at each other, the tension between them clear as could be!

Clearly, they had had the upper hand in grabbing LeBlanc, but it was their ADC who had been killed instead. How could they stand it!?

“Why did you grab him? Did you want me to die!?” Langjie said in dissatisfaction.

There was not much meaning in grabbing LeBlanc. Even if he grabbed her, she could run with her W-skill. After hearing those words from Langjie, Jupiter was not happy. For him, it seemed as though Langjie was not careful and had gotten locked down by the opponent. How was that his fault?

But speaking of his faults, he had indeed gotten a little flustered. Fighting Hawk was inhumanly good. Normally when getting grabbed by Blitzcrank, an ordinary player would use his Flash to get away and run with his movement skill. There was no one who had seen someone who Flashed in and also used a combo of skills after getting grabbed by Blitzcrank!

In actuality, Luocheng had already calculated it. If he could bait him and get Blitzcrank to hook him, getting him neared to Twitch, he could Flash to Twitch and kill him within seconds. Who knew Jupiter was stronger than he had expected and had grabbed him from between the minion wave!? He was lucky that he had already thought of what to do after getting grabbed.

If Jupiter had known that Luocheng had let himself get hooked on purpose, he would have wasted all of his time focusing on Luocheng!

“How did you not even use your Flash?” Vulcan, the top laner asked, annoyed.

Vulcan was also a skilled LeBlanc player. He knew that her silence and combos were actually hard to chain up. At least, when she got hooked, there would definitely be a problem when using Flash. The most she could have done was to lock Twitch down, but somehow, Twitch had been killed by Lucian!

“How could I know, I already clicked Flash!” Langjie said angrily.

This suspicion stayed in Langjie’s mind. He could not understand. LeBlanc’s skills definitely had a hole in them. With the time between skills and the cast times as well as every factor he could possibly think of, there was definitely a 0.2 second space for him to Flash out, but he had not used it. As a professional player, there was no way that he could not use his Flash in 0.2 seconds. Even normal players knew that after getting silenced, spamming their Flash would definitely get them away!

***

The same question also made the competitive players which sat in the front row confused.

LeBlanc’s combo would definitely have left a space for using Flash unless Langjie had already given up on running…

“The sequence for his skills is different. He actually Flashed to Langjie and used his skills in the sequence, QEW!” Hades, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke up.

Everyone would definitely listen to one of the best players in the nation. All of their attention was placed on him.

LeBlanc was also a champion that belonged in the middle lane. No one knew champions that belonged in the middle lane like Hades did!

That was also the reason why everyone perked up their ears and listened carefully!

“First, he used his Q-skill, Sigil of Malice. After that, he immediately used the E-skill. While the E-skill was bouncing, he cast his W-skill in that instance. With that, the effect would be that W-skill’s silence would occur first, and at the same time, the chains would also lock onto Langjie. After the one and a half second silence, the locking effect would take place. This combo was basically a perfect chain and would be inescapable unless that person could press Flash in a window of less than 0.1 seconds.”

LeBlanc’s unbreakable control!

Once you got caught, there was no possibility of escaping from it!
