LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 433
Aurelion Sol, chained by LeBlanc, was pretty much doomed.
Even if the god of Legends of League showed up, there was no way out of this situation.
-Enemy eliminated!
Hwarang’s Aurelion Sol, who had been MAX’s only hope, fell helplessly.
Considering what Aurelion Sol had to do from now on, the wounds he just received were fatal.
The commentators erupted in cheers.
[“OUTLAW—!!!”]
[“The guardian dragon protecting MAX has fallen!”]
[“Lee Sin and LeBlanc’s dazzling synergy play successfully dragged out the hidden Aurelion Sol!”]
[“What now! MAX! It’s code red! The mid laner we cherished has just gone down!”]
The SY players watching this were also buzzing.
They were already tense for their next match, and seeing such a scene in the previous game was too exciting to ignore.
“Oh…”
“That’s really sharp. The defenses are almost non-existent, right?”
“Preserving the chains was a great move. Seems like that was the plan from the start.”
“…”
Ryu Jin-hyuk too reflected on the previous play with deep thoughts.
On the surface, it looked like Aurelion Sol overstepped and gave away a gank angle, but this was clearly a play that followed from the situation at top, involving dragons.
Doubt, misjudgment, anger, excitement.
All those feelings mixed together made Aurelion Sol, who had just been mindlessly clearing waves, greedy, and he was ultimately devoured by Outlaw, who wouldn’t let that chance slip.
And from there came the thought.
‘Could I have survived?’
Thoughts twisted together, running a mental simulation, but the answer remained elusive.
In Legends of League, most scenarios played out quite differently from expectations.
Moreover, the recent play had brought back to Ryu Jin-hyuk’s mind a player he hadn’t considered until now.
‘Getback.’
To be honest, Getback wasn’t that impressive a player to Ryu Jin-hyuk.
Sure, he wasn’t bad, but in the monster-filled LCKR, he was a mid laner who was almost colorless and tasteless.
That’s how Ryu Jin-hyuk had viewed Getback up till now, and that opinion remained unchanged, whether from the past or since Getback joined OLZ recently.
With a jungler like Outlaw, even a flavorless mid could shine together.
But that was no longer the case.
The player Getback started to clearly appear in Ryu Jin-hyuk’s eyes, or rather, Rainbow’s eyes.
A player who had quietly faded away from LCKR had returned once again.
Now, not just the same, but as a formidable competitor who could no longer be dismissed.
The commentators continued their analysis.
[“As I’ve mentioned before, OLZ seems good for now, but Aurelion Sol growing in mid was quite bothersome for OLZ, right? No matter how much Aurelion Sol has been nerfed and isn’t as strong as before, once he grows, that’s a whole different story. But just like that, MAX’s hope has been crushed!”]
[“Exactly! Even though MAX held the bottom lane advantage, giving over the dragon was meant to buy Aurelion Sol some time to grow, but that previous gank blew it all away!”]
[“That’s how sharp Outlaw’s gank and Getback’s response were!”]
[“Even with claims that OLZ is different this time, it was still a second division team! Yet, they are achieving tremendous results right from the opening match against MAX!”]
The replay started rolling.
[“Here, you can see Hwarang intentionally saving his W. If he had carelessly used it first, he would have been chained by LeBlanc for sure, so he did it like that, and Outlaw pounced on that opportunity like lightning.”]
[“Yes! If Aurelion Sol had quickly used his W, LeBlanc would have closed the distance with Flash and landed the chain, so Hwarang played well, but the opponent’s strategy was just too sharp.”]
[“It’s like there was barely a chance of survival, right?”]
[“Exactly. No matter how good Aurelion Sol’s survivability is, surviving against LeBlanc and Lee Sin is no walk in the park.”]
[“However, it’s not over yet. MAX must keep trying. The bottom lane still holds an advantage, and even though Aurelion Sol has died once, he hasn’t been fully knocked out yet.”]
[“We’ll have to watch and see!”]
The game continued.
After the successful mid gank, OLZ’s bottom lane quickly planned their recall timing.
It wouldn’t have been unusual if that was all that happened, but the problem was that OLZ’s bottom lane was heading to top instead of bottom.
[“Uh… Are they trying to do a lane swap?”]
[“OLZ seems to be trying to take the Herald?!”]
Just as that was said, Outlaw’s Lee Sin was already firing sound waves at the Herald.
“Oh, they’re doing it like this.”
“But isn’t that too much of a loss for the bottom lane? Is it really good for Kai’Sa to get big?”
“Watch, Aatrox still has Teleport ready.”
“Oh, right.”
What that meant was, after Aatrox had died during the earlier 2:1 exchange, he had foresightedly saved his Teleport to predict the current situation.
It was truly strategic and tactical play that could arguably dominate the game.
It made one wonder if this was really a second-division team just promoted.
“Seriously good.”
“Agreed.”
Ryu Jin-hyuk murmured as he watched.
“This game, OLZ has won.”
Normally, he wouldn’t make such certainties, but Ryu Jin-hyuk’s assertive words left the SY players staring at him in shock.
