Exclamations erupted across the livestream platform!

At the final step of the dash-and-slash, Ethan Carter raised his hand to unleash Steel Tempest, but before his hand was fully raised, Ethan Carter pressed Flash. The wind was unseen, yet the ambush had begun—this is Yasuo’s most reliable skill combo. Unless you predict it and Flash preemptively, there’s simply no way to dodge it!

Ignite! Auto attack! Dash-and-slash! Steel Tempest! Auto attack!

A full combo for the kill!

“Return to your shadows, ninja.” Ethan Carter controlled Yasuo, standing in front of the tower, taunting at full power.

“Another new technique! Another taunt Easter egg!”

“One person, in one day, creates two hero techniques—have any of you ever seen that before?”

“Flowers, flowers! Nothing more needs to be said!”

System message: Player “Tuo’er Suo” sent flowers (5 League Coins) to player “What are you looking at” for their brilliant performance.

System message: Player “My Yasuo is in Kindergarten” sent a crown (10,000 League Coins) to player “What are you looking at” for their brilliant performance.

The barrage of messages lasted a full seven or eight minutes—after all, it had been a long, long time since anyone had seen a new technique. And the importance of Hero Star’s skill value is well known! Suppress the demons!

Today, some even noticed that the outline of the Hero Star seemed a bit larger, which is good for even a ten-thousandth of the power needed to suppress all demons!

……

“This person must be recruited by our military.” In the military conference room, the lieutenant general spoke in a deep voice.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! You brats must find him for me!” The voice of the Queen rang out in the Nine-Tails—League of Legends Club.

……

“By the way, am I the only one who noticed the pro’s CS count…”

10 minutes, Yasuo, 109 CS! Zed, 41 CS! Zed was completely intimidated! Even though a minion is only worth about ten gold, and a kill might be 300, no matter what, CS is the foundation of a hero’s economy! Can you guarantee how many kills you’ll get in a match? You can’t.

In official, evenly matched games, how do you judge if your CS is up to par?

10 minutes, 10-3=7*10=70, meaning, game minutes minus 3, 70 CS is passing. Minus 2, 80 CS is good. Minus 1, 90 CS is excellent—after all, only 96 minions spawn in 10 minutes. 100 CS requires jungle monsters! This number is usually only achieved by mid laners!

In this match, Ethan Carter was already unstoppable and fed. Zed’s damage couldn’t realistically one-shot anyone anymore, and he might not even make it out of a teamfight. Around 10 minutes, Doom couldn’t threaten Master Yi at all, so Master Yi was also farming well and helped top lane secure a kill on Nautilus, with Devourer already in hand. Nautilus was clearly a newbie, and Riven was completely dominating him.

But for Ethan Carter—

The Way of Wuju? Never heard of it.

Chapter 8 Ethan Carter’s First Pentakill

At 12 minutes, Yasuo already had Statikk Shiv and Boots of Swiftness. In this patch, Boots of Swiftness were insanely cost-effective, giving 65 movement speed for only 600 gold, as popular as the Thunderlord’s Decree mastery.

In this era, if a support wants damage, take Thunderlord’s.

If a mid wants to burst, take Thunderlord’s.

If an ADC wants to trade in lane, take Thunderlord’s.

If a top wants to be tanky and deal damage, take Thunderlord’s. In short, just take Thunderlord’s.

At this point in the match, with Master Yi and Riven farming so well, you couldn’t let the enemy team keep scaling. Whether it was a Master Yi gank or Riven TP’ing bot for support, the consequences would be dire.

Ethan Carter: Wait for me bot lane. He calculated that the last bot lane skirmish was over three minutes ago, and both sides had burned their summoners. This time, neither side had Flash or Exhaust! The only concern was that the enemy Riven still had Teleport, while their own Nautilus had already used his early in a rush to get back to lane.

On the way to bot lane, Ethan Carter took down the river crab first. At this point, any chance to steal a jungle camp and slow Master Yi’s Devourer stacking was good. Maybe Ethan Carter’s leaving lane was too obvious, because both enemy top and bot lanes pulled back noticeably. But after waiting a while and not seeing Yasuo, they figured he must be jungling, and Zed breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Master Yi suddenly appeared bot lane. The enemy support, Leona, instantly Flashed and used Q—Shield of Daybreak—to stun their own ADC, Sivir, who was clearly caught off guard.

You have to know, Sivir has her E spell shield to block a spell, so Leona’s Flash Q had to be decisive. Seeing things go south, Malphite immediately ulted, knocking up Master Yi, Miss Fortune, and Leona just as they were about to burst Sivir, perfectly interrupting Miss Fortune’s freshly activated ultimate.
