Seeing the Renekton suddenly charge forward like a madman, Henry Thompson naturally knew the enemy jungler had arrived. But if you play Riven and don’t even have the confidence to 1v2, why bother playing Riven at all?

After a set of lightning-fast QAs, Henry Thompson didn’t even use his ultimate. He followed up with W, stunning the fleeing Renekton and taking him down.

Renekton, however, managed to use about three-quarters of his health after healing, plus the true damage from Ignite, to bring Henry Thompson’s Riven down to a third of her HP.

At this moment, Watch’s Lee Sin came around from in front of the tower.

But Henry Thompson dove straight into the first bush in front of the enemy tower. Watch calmly approached, warded, and used W to close the gap. However, just as he was about to use E to slow and follow up with Q, Henry Thompson used E to dash out of the bush, then flashed into the minion wave, heading toward the bush along the wall by the midlane river.

Watch was unwilling to let Riven escape and instantly flashed after him.

As soon as Henry Thompson entered the bush, he turned his head for a split second.

Watch thought to himself, “Let’s see how you run now,” and activated Q, kicking out.

The Q skill landed precisely on Riven. Seeing it hit, Watch immediately activated the second part of Q to dash in.

But just as Riven, who had been running forward, was hit, she suddenly turned around, and the short blade in her hand flashed with a dazzling green light!

“The day the broken blade is reforged, its power will return!”

Watch suddenly realized that his Lee Sin had been ignited while still in midair. He immediately sensed danger, but before he could use his ultimate to kick the opponent away upon landing, Riven stunned him with W, then unleashed a rapid three-part Q combo. His full health was shredded to almost nothing in an instant. As he was knocked up by the final Q and hit the ground, Watch hurriedly used his ultimate to kick the opponent away, but a burst of green light immediately followed.

It was Riven’s R skill executing him!

The more damage this skill has dealt beforehand, the higher the burst damage when it lands!

Riven, who had been nearly dead, was instantly finished off, but Henry Thompson didn’t look back. He went straight into the Baron pit to recall, because Lee Sin was still burning from Ignite.

A second later, the double buffs on Watch drifted as a wisp of light toward Riven, who was recalling.

At this moment, Watch’s livestream room on the azubu platform exploded. What was going on? The MVP jungler of the OGN Summer champion team had just been outplayed and killed at half health in a Silver-ranked game?

“Which pro team’s player is this Riven representing? He actually managed to outplay and kill Watch!”

“Even though I really support Watch, I have to admit, this Riven’s mechanics are insane!”

“Can someone tell me what just happened? Why did Watch only use his ultimate after being stunned and taking the full three-part Q damage?”

Meanwhile, in the NJS base at Seoul Esports City, Watch, sitting in front of his computer, could only force a bitter smile. It wasn’t that his awareness was bad or that he didn’t expect to kick Riven away—it was just that the Riven player’s lightning-fast QA was too quick. He managed to pull off the entire combo during the brief W stun, and even after such high-intensity mechanics, he was able to use his ultimate at the same time as Watch!

In this patch on Korean servers, most high-elo Riven players can do lightning-fast QA to some extent, but very few can truly reach that speed. Could it be KTA’s top laner, the so-called number one Riven in Korea, ssumday?

Watch had his suspicions, but he’d faced ssumday in Korean solo queue before, and he felt that even ssumday couldn’t pull off that level of lightning-fast QA.

“ssumday?” Watch asked directly in all chat.

After recalling and buying a Tiamat, Henry Thompson was about to leave base when he suddenly saw the enemy jungler Lee Sin type out that familiar ID from his previous life’s pro scene in all chat.

Henry Thompson was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, as if he’d figured something out.

When he returned to lane, a line of English appeared in all chat.

“sorry，imnot，butimcomingagain!” (Sorry, I’m not, but I’m coming again!)

Henry Thompson habitually typed in Chinglish. In his previous life, as a Chinese player on the Korean server, he’d developed this habit due to the language barrier. Even though he’d inherited the memories of this body in this life, out of habit, he hadn’t changed when he started playing the game again.

Watch was silent for a while, then said self-deprecatingly to his livestream viewers through his mic, “Looks like the one who outplayed me this time is a foreign server player.”

After all, as an esports pretty boy, the biggest and most passionate fan group in his stream—the female fans—immediately started cheering Watch on.

“Oppa, don’t lose heart. Keep going! That Riven just got lucky. Let’s camp top and crush him!”

“Go Watch, we’ll always support you! Crush that damn foreigner!”

“……”
