Knight felt a slight sense of gloom.
The methods he had always used to manipulate rookies, which had never failed him, had met with a rare defeat today. From the start of the match until now, Knight had put in significant effort, and his teammates had provided him with implicit support. Their coordinated invade at level one wasn't aimed at securing a kill; it was primarily intended to pressure Beishang, forcing Li Yao’s Galio to play aggressively in lane and, ideally, push the wave early.
Knight was certain Li Yao would do just that. After all, only by pushing would Galio be able to rotate and assist his jungler much faster than Sylas if the Graves were to be caught in the jungle. Even if Karsa didn't actually go for a gank, Li Yao was forced to play this way due to that lingering, invisible pressure. And once Li Yao pushed, Knight could freeze the wave.
