Chapter 71 The Incompetent Jungle Husband [Seeking monthly votes and to continue reading!]
Seeing that Lee Doo-hwan's prince had only cleared two camps of jungle monsters before running to his own top side of the map, Clid was almost driven to despair.
Faced with Prince Lee Doo-hwan's shameless tactics, he could only feel anxious and helpless.
Firstly, because Prince Lee Doo-hwan helped Lee Sang-hyeok with a Q skill when he passed by in the mid lane, and because Azir is a champion who pushes lanes quite quickly, BDD's Corki definitely couldn't provide support.
The bottom lane is too far away, and it's impossible for them to come and help, so the only one who can provide support is the top lane!
The problem is that if our Ornn provides support, the enemy Sion can't just stand by and watch; he'll definitely provide support or try to stop us.
Not to mention that if your Nidalee wants to make up for the losses, she will definitely have to take the initiative to invade the opponent's upper half of the map.
Invading the enemy's upper jungle will naturally allow them to prioritize supporting the enemy's top laner!
My Nidalee has no Flash left. Although this champion is quite mobile, she can't compete with the enemy Jarvan IV who has Flash and Red Buff!
Clid took a deep breath, and in a daze, he seemed to see Master An walking towards him with a baseball bat.
……
"Clid only has two paths to choose from now!" Roaring Emperor analyzed, observing the situation on the field.
"One is to clear the upper half of the map and then honestly go and eat the remaining golems in your own lower half."
However, this would put the Nidalee at a significant disadvantage against the Prince in the early game, essentially rendering her completely outmatched.
"Another thing is that after he finished clearing the upper half of the server, he went directly to the T1 upper half to find the prince."
Because Sun's Prince cleared the six raptors in the lower half of the jungle before going to his own upper half of the jungle, which wasted some time.
So after Clid finishes clearing his own top jungle, he has a chance to invade!
However, this approach comes at a high cost; a Nidalee without Flash could easily die.
Hearing Roaring Emperor's analysis, Yoon Soo-bin, who was commentating with him, couldn't help but ask, "What do you think about Clid's Nidalee quickly clearing her own top jungle and then looking for an opportunity to steal a camp from T1's bottom jungle to mitigate the damage?"
"I'm afraid that won't work. The bot lane duo of Varus and Karma is too dominant in lane."
Once the junglers from both sides collide, the two T1 bot laners will definitely be the first to arrive.
……
Just as the commentator analyzed, Clid now only had two paths to choose from.
One should honestly play the role of a turtle, clearing the upper jungle and then going to the bottom lane to eat the leftover Krugs from the Prince's game.
Although it might be a bit frustrating, at least there's no danger to your life. However, you might end up watching your beloved jungle monsters being taken down by the prince right in front of you, making you look like a useless jungler.
The other natural option is to quickly finish clearing your own upper half of the map and then invade T1's upper half. If you can get back at them, you can at least salvage some of the losses.
However, this choice comes with both benefits and risks. Without Blink, playing Nidalee this way could easily result in her first bleeding episode.
After much deliberation, Clid chose the latter.
Nidalee is a champion who is useless when behind, but cannot lose her rhythm when ahead. If she is played so frustratingly from the start, then the game will be over.
Clid couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Master An during the video call.
……
"As expected, Clid still chose to invade." Watching the leopard woman's movements, the Roaring Emperor slowly spoke.
"You can see that Rascal's Ornn is intentionally or unintentionally moving towards the T1 jungle, but Canna's Sion doesn't seem to want him to leave the top lane."
Neither of the two players in the mid lane could provide support.
In other words, this is still a battle between the junglers of both sides!
Sun's prince is currently playing on the red server; he doesn't know Clid's Nidalee's location.
"If Clid's Nidalee can secure the Red Buff, it's actually acceptable; it's like he only lost a single jungle camp..."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Clid's Nidalee successfully made her way from the Baron pit to the top half of T1's map.
then……
A notification appeared in the center of the screen that Nidalee had been killed!
……
Looking at the leopard woman lying on the ground, the Roaring Emperor sighed with a touch of melancholy.
"It's a bit of a pity, but it's not like we gained nothing at all. At least we got some economy and experience from the Red Domination server."
"That's true, but in that case, it seems like the leopard girl can be dismissed early."
Listening to what Yoon Soo-bin and the Roaring Emperor were saying, the people in the live stream were starting to lose their composure.
Hey everyone in the live stream, let me teach you a saying today: "Pick up the sesame seeds, lose the watermelon!"
[Holy crap, is this Nidalee even human?! She got solo-killed by Jarvan IV in the jungle?!]
After the level 1 team fight, just go back to your jungle and don't think about anything else. Nothing will happen. It's just a pity that the young man was a bit too arrogant!
[Damn it, guys, we've reached the three-star kill threshold for Nidalee...]
[Master An's anger is building up.GIF!!!]
[I reckon before Master An even has a chance to make a move, the ruler will reward him handsomely first!]
……
Clid's Nidalee invasion, while securing the Red Dominator server, came at the cost of her life.
This made things even worse for the already impoverished family.
It's important to understand that Nidalee is a champion who can be easily turned around by the enemy team if she dies even when she has an advantage. Now, she's skipped the advantage phase and gone straight into a disadvantage phase.
So, in the following game, Clid, just like in the previous game, became the poor kid being chased around the jungle by Lee Doo-hwan.
Every now and then, she has to watch as her beloved monsters are taken in by the prince's sister.
When a jungler like Nidalee is being chased around by a Jarvan IV, then if the team wants to win, the top, mid, and bottom lanes definitely have to give it their all.
Unfortunately, top laner Rascal's Ornn clearly lacks the ability to save the world, while mid laner BDD's Corki and bot laner Ruler's Aphelios do.
But that only works if the opponent isn't that strong. T1's mid laner and bot laner are Lee Sang-hyeok and Gu Sung-bin, respectively!
BDD, a well-known fan of Lee Sang-hyeok, is actually somewhat afraid of science.
As for Koo Sung-bin, he is an older generation Samsung employee.
Even with Lee Sang-ho as a burden, he held his own against the ruler and was in no way inferior!
In this situation, even though Samsung was determined to defeat the enemy, they were powerless to turn the tide and could only regretfully lose the second game.
……
"Let's congratulate T1 on winning the second game of this Spring Grand Finals BO5!"
Only one game left! Just one more game and they can become the LCK 2020 Spring Split champions!!!
The moment the game ended, the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out excitedly once again.
"Of course, Samsung shouldn't be discouraged, because they still have a chance!"
Although it's difficult to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2, it's not entirely impossible. Hopefully, they won't let a temporary setback affect their mentality.
The most important thing is to adjust properly and play well in the upcoming matches!
