LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 678 The Terrifying Incident in the Canyon! The Real and Fake Clowns are Creepy and Horrifying!
"and many more!!"

This time, it wasn't someone who triggered the box; rather, a newly planted "frightening box" appeared.

Seeing this, Photic quickly retreated, and the others also immediately took a few steps back. The atmosphere in the Top Esports team instantly became extremely tense.

That scene just now meant that the Joker was right next to them!

Although Wang Yao didn't play the AD Shaco with Duskblade, which allows him to remain invisible after killing someone, AP Shaco is, in some ways, even more terrifying than AD Shaco.

Photic's voice came through the team microphone first.

"Scan, scan, start scanning!"

"I'll go first! I'll go first!"

True Sight can see stealth units like Widowmaker and Rat, but not invisible units like Jester, so placing True Sight is completely useless.

Even scanning won't reveal the Joker; it will only scan his silhouette.

But Wang Yao wasn't worried at all.

The reason he placed the W so close to his face was to trick the Top Esports players into scanning him.

Except for Lee Sin, all four members of the Top Esports team switched to scanning.

We just used two boxes to sort them out. Once we get the remaining two out, things will be much easier.

Top Esports had considered this possibility, but what could they do about it?

If we don't activate the scan now, the clown might just come in with his fake body and blow us up. Activating the scan will at least allow us to live a little longer.

As it turned out, he could only live a little longer.

After lining up four more boxes, the scanning time ended.

Wang Yao simply replicated the old method.

The Joker unleashed his ultimate attack, splitting the Demon Joker in two.

The fake body pulls back, while the real body Qs into the crowd.

However, unlike before, this time Wang Yao did not pull the fake body very far. He kept the fake body on the verge of being pulled back.

He knew that Top Esports would most likely not dare to fight this time, so he directly sent his real body with the others.

The moment the [Deception Magic] invisibility effect disappears and the Joker reappears.

The ground on the left side of the stage trembled.

All five members of Top Esports trembled with fear!
However, this time they were smarter; apart from someone attacking twice immediately, no one continued to deal damage.

They knew the damage the Joker's equipment would cause when it exploded, and they absolutely couldn't let it explode.

But no one knew that the one following them now was the real clown!

As for going to find Wang Yao, Top Esports had long given up on that idea.

They tried quite a few times in the 20-plus minutes.

But it was as if Wang Yao lived inside their minds; no thought in their minds could escape his notice.

Wang Yao could always guess what they were going to do, and then use that to design specific countermeasures.

In short, Wang Yao is like a fraud expert, who designs scams based on specific individuals.

Photic and his team never dreamed that playing League of Legends would turn into an anti-fraud operation!

On Summoner's Rift, Top Esports' exploration continues.

Wang Yao was like a ghost, following behind the group and observing their every move.

Although the two were very close, no one from Top Esports dared to touch him.

Upon seeing this, the entire audience held their breath, their hearts pounding.

"Brother Yao is really too audacious!"

"Holy crap, I'm totally impressed! What kind of incredible nerve does Yao have?"

"The real body follows, the fake body is on the flank, is this a fighting strategy that even a human could come up with?!"

"It feels like Yao had already anticipated that TES wouldn't attack him, so he was probably planning to pull the fake body back just before it exploded."

"This is terrifying, guys. You'd need to see a psychologist after playing against someone like this!"

"..."

In the commentary booth, none of the three dared to utter a sound.

At this moment, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

For some reason, everyone put themselves in the mindset of the Top Esports players.

Imagine the entire team is advancing towards the Dragon Pit, with an enemy right behind them, yet no one notices the truth.

This scene must be absolutely terrifying; it's straight out of a horror movie!

In the Rift, as time ticked by, Top Esports got closer and closer to the Dragon.

Suddenly, Photic's exclamation rang out.

Just one sentence was enough to send chills down the spines of everyone at Top Esports.

"Wait a minute! Where did the clown go?!"

Everyone knows that the clone can't use skills; besides basic attacks, it can only explode.

But the clown who had been following him for half a day suddenly disappeared.

Doesn't this mean that the clown wasn't a fake at all?!

Just as everyone realized this, the Demon Clown reappeared.

Unlike before, this time it's a fake!
Wang Yao timed the explosion of the fake body perfectly and used [Deception Magic] to slip into the crowd.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the fake body exploded in the crowd, and three boxes appeared out of thin air!

The Top Esports team was immediately thrown into chaos by the microphone.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell?!"

"Huh? The fake body disappeared, and then another fake body appeared?"

"Idiot, that was real!"

"Damn it! The damage is too high! Hit the boxes, hurry up and hit the boxes!"

"What the hell are you doing? Can't you see you're scared?"

"Damn it, I'm going first, brothers, this is really tough!"

Photic, the team's squishiest ADC, was instantly killed by three boxes focused fire.

Not only him, but also the Crocodile and Lee Sin, the two front-line warriors who had previously carried several boxes, fell one after another to the Terror Box.

In just a few moments, everyone except Zoe and Titan was dead.

Zoe was also quite fragile, but she was lucky enough to avoid the initial burst damage and was only hit twice by the boxes on the flank.

The same applies to Titan.

As the only two remaining players on the Top Esports team, Knight and Mark share the same idea.

That means run!

Immediately, Titan turned around and released the Q anchor, then used the [Hypnotic Bubble] at the right angle with his left hand to block movement.

The clown doesn't have Flash, and he just used his Q skill. He's bound to get hit by a skill this time!
Regardless of which one he eats, the two of them will have a high chance of escaping.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Yao raised his hand and pressed the W key to place a scare box in front of him, then sidestepped to avoid Titan's Q.

Mark and his left hand were stunned to see the box behind them blocking the [hypnotic bubble].

"what?!"

"You're okay with just blanching it?"

"That's fucking insane!"

"Hurry, hurry! Every life we ​​can save is a life we ​​can save!"

The two dared not linger; one fled upwards, while the other retreated downwards.

Seeing this, Wang Yao rushed towards Titan without any hesitation.

Although Mark's Titan still has a powerful ultimate ability, it's completely useless.

Pfft!

A poisoned dagger pierced Titan's body, and Titan, slowed by his E skill, could hardly move.

A moment later, with [Deception] off cooldown, Shaco stealthily appeared behind Titan and delivered a backstab followed by Ignite, instantly taking him down!

EDG's Kshine (Demon Jester) has killed TES's Mark (Deep Sea Titan).

"Quadra Kill!"

Looking at the prominent kill notification in front of him, Wang Yao turned his head and switched screens to look at Zoe.

The reason I chose to chase the support instead of the mid laner is quite simple.

The rest of EDG had already taken down Baron Nashor and were heading towards their location.

Since his teammates were running away in the direction his left hand was facing, Wang Yao didn't need to worry about them.

As for the pentakill, he's long been tired of it over the years, so it doesn't matter to him whether he gets it or not. He simply lets his teammates handle the kill.

Before Zoe could run very far, she was pinned to the spot and brutally attacked by a bear charging towards her.

Papaya Celestial Spirit transformed into a cream puff, screamed in agony, and collapsed to the ground in despair.

At this point, all five heroes of the Top Esports team have perished.

"Ace!!"

The voice notification of the team being wiped out rang out, and the previously silent venue instantly erupted into chaos!

"I, Arema! One of you chasing down five is just too outrageous!!"

"That's ridiculous. It was clearly two people chasing and beating five. Does that mean the fake body isn't a real person?"

"If you calculate it that way, then wouldn't the box also have to be counted?"

"That really counts! This wave of boxes dealt at least 70% of the damage!"

"I never thought of using a box to block E. Yao-ge's thinking is too clear!"

"It feels like the entire Top Esports team died of a brain hemorrhage this time. Any normal person would break down and lose their temper."

"I declare this to be the most overpowered hero I've seen in this year's Spring Split!"

"Brother Yao is awesome! You're the most sinister one!"

"After this match, Yao-ge will have to go to the police station to file a report."

"I've already downloaded the anti-fraud app, have you?"

"+1!"

"..."

Viewers who witnessed the entire process from God's perspective were horrified.

Whether it was the box he placed down first, or his subsequent actions of tracking everyone, Wang Yao had already planned everything.

Was there anything wrong with Top Esports' move? Actually, there wasn't.

With such a huge disadvantage, even this team dared not hesitate to attack Baron Nashor again when in doubt.

For them, there are only two ways to stop losses.

First, secure the dragon. Second, clear the lanes and farm.

But they had already cleared the minion waves, and the enemy had completely wiped out their jungle, so the second strategy was simply not feasible.

EDG already has two dragons in hand, and TES must take the third dragon, otherwise they will have no chance to contest the fourth dragon.

Apart from the decision-making process, the subsequent actions were also fine.

The four of them switched to scanning gear, with the crocodile and Lee Sin scouting ahead. They didn't attack the clown the moment he appeared, and everything seemed fine.

But there was nothing they could do; the one who created the Demon Clown was Wang Yao.

No matter how perfect Top Esports' strategy or how flawless their ideas are, he can still find loopholes and use them to defeat the enemy!

On stage, the five members of the blue team had different expressions, and everyone was in a very bad mood, including Wayward.

This match made him fully realize the gap between himself and Wang Yao.

Wang Yao beat him not only because of the Joker he played, but also because of his consistently faster thinking and strategies.

If you give him a normal hero, he might get beaten even worse in the top lane.

"Ugh……"

Huang Renxing sighed, picked up the cup beside him, and was about to take a sip of water.

But when he turned around and picked up his water glass, he found that all four of his teammates were staring at him.

Casa looked wronged, his left hand pointing down at the corner of his mouth; Photic pursed his lips and frowned; Mark's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wayward sensed the same thing from the expressions of the four people.

murderous look!
"No, it can't be that bad, brothers. I'll take the blame for this."

Da Huang put down his water glass and waved his hands downwards, signaling everyone to calm down.

Even the good-tempered Casa couldn't calm down at all.

What the hell!
I'm okay with the food, and I'll deliver it, but at least deliver it a little slower!
In less than 10 minutes, Lin Bei delivered a two-piece set to the Joker: a murder mystery book and a mask. Anyone could handle that!

If Casa was this angry, Photic must be even more so.

All he wants to do now is smash Big Yellow's skull with the keyboard.

On the other hand, all four EDG players except the top laner were laughing their heads off.

"Does anyone in the family understand this? After we finished taking down Baron, we turned around and found the entire enemy team was dead!"

"That was awesome! Yao-ge, I love you!"

"Let's go, let's push down the middle lane and take it!"

"Sigh, this game is so boring. I haven't even exerted my full strength yet, and this is all the Top Esports is capable of in the Northern Expedition?"

"Stop pretending, Yu Wenbo. You're still down 20 CS by Photic this game."

"Tianye, you're speechless now, aren't you?!"

Wang Yao couldn't help but chuckle when he heard their conversation.

With the Baron Nashor secured and Top Esports wiped out, the outcome of this match is already clear.

On the commentary side, the three commentators still hadn't completely lost their shock, but seeing that the situation on the field was clear, they all spoke up.

"The economic gap between the two sides has widened to a full 12,000, it feels like EDG is about to make a big move."

"Yes, but this way of winning team fights is truly unprecedented. Kshine single-handedly defended against all five members of Top Esports. This clown is too exaggerated!"

"I was least optimistic about the top lane position of EDG's lineup, but I didn't expect them to win the game with Shaco."

"All I can say is that Kshine keeps redefining our understanding. Besides the usual top lane champions like Fiora, Irelia, and Darius, he also has a unique skill with Shaco!"

Upon hearing the baby's last words, the two immediately nodded.

"Although he often takes on multiple opponents with his other heroes, Kshine's performance with the Demon Jester in this game was truly terrifying."

"I feel like this hero will be a must-ban for houses from now on."

The audience members below the stage also strongly agreed.

Wang Yao's Joker not only has an impact in matches, but can also directly influence professional players in real life.

Needless to say, all five TES players will likely experience some psychological issues after this game.

While everyone was discussing the situation, EDG had already pushed all the way to the blue team's high ground inhibitor.

Despite the resurrection of all five players on Top Esports, they still couldn't stop EDG's advance.

Finally, the game time reached 22 minutes and 39 seconds.

With a loud bang, the crystal at Top Esports' base shattered into pieces.

EDG, 1-0, currently in the lead!
Amid cheers from the audience, the players from both teams walked off the stage and returned to their respective backstage lounges.

EDG fared well, winning the game without making any major mistakes. Clearlove and Maokai simply reviewed the match and analyzed the draft for the next game.

But it's different for TES.

Head coach Luo Sheng first criticized Wayward, then quickly led the team in a debriefing session.
While reviewing the game, the assistant coach also provided psychological counseling, and finally, a major decision was made.

— Replacement.

This replacement isn't just about replacing one person.

Known as TES48, they boast three top laners, two junglers, and two supports.

Aside from the mid lane and AD carry positions, there are substitutes for all other positions.

With this round of substitutions, Luo Sheng decided to replace all of Ueno's players!

The reason is simple: the two are now at odds, and both are experiencing significant mental health issues.

After all, they were the ones most affected compared to other positions.

To put it bluntly, these two have been driven to the brink of mental collapse by the Joker's torment.

BO5 is not BO3. It's normal to lose the first game. There will be opportunities to come back later.

But if these two go up in their current state, they will definitely lose!
There's no doubt we'll replace Xiaopeng in the jungle position.

However, Luo Sheng hesitated a bit when it came to the top lane.

369 has fought against Wang Yao before, so his ability to adapt should be slightly stronger now. He also has more experience facing Wang Yao than Qingtian.

However, Qingtian has been in good form in recent training matches, and his Darius is no less impressive than Wang Yao's God King Darius. He might be able to produce a surprising effect in the next game.

Which one should I choose?

The two seemed to have guessed what the coach was thinking.

Immediately, Qingtian stood up first and volunteered.

"Brother Sheng, let me go!"

369 raised his head but didn't say anything.

Having your spot and position taken away from you in a competition would make any normal esports player feel wronged and upset.

But at this moment, 369 felt completely indifferent, because he really didn't want to face off against Wang Yao!
When he first debuted, 369 was traumatized by TheShy and it took him a long time to recover from his rebellious phase.

Now, Wang Yao, who has switched to the top lane, has started speed-playing against all the top top laners in LOL, from Nuguri to Abin and Ale, who hasn't been crushed by him!

As long as Luo Sheng doesn't specifically ask to play, 369 can stay on the bench.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng didn't hesitate any longer and chose to switch to Sunny Day.

Since Qingtian dared to volunteer to play after watching the previous match, she must have been well-prepared.

And so, Top Esports, with a completely new attitude, once again challenged EDG!

At the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan listened to the message coming through his earpiece and spoke first.

"Alright viewers, welcome back to the 2021 Spring Split playoffs."

"The match currently underway between EDG and TES will determine which team advances to the winner's bracket!"

"EDG has won the first game, but we just received news that Top Esports has made personnel changes."

The doll standing nearby immediately chimed in.

"Top laner Wayward has temporarily left the competition, and Qingtian will start in the second game."

"In addition to the top laner, Karsa was also replaced in the jungle position, and Xiaopeng took over the stage!"

This statement immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among viewers in the official live stream of the tournament.

"Huh? They just replaced the entire Ueno team?"

"Holy crap! Did Yu Yu really get beaten up?"

"Judging from the way Casal was when he stepped down, he probably had some mental issues."

"But I saw Wayward still smiling, so why was he replaced?"

"That beast Dahuang, it doesn't matter to him losing the game, just don't torture yourself."

"Indeed, just now when BYD saw the clown, he ran away like he was seeing his own father. As long as he doesn't get disgusted with himself, Big Yellow can play by himself until his own base explodes."

"Tsk, I thought TES was doomed to lose this BO5, but I never expected them to have so many substitute players!"

"I feel like there's suspense again. Although Sunny isn't as reliable as Wayward, his potential is actually quite high. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does!"

"Stop praising Qingtian. What's the use of just playing Darius? You might as well keep playing Dahuang. Although BYD is feeding, at least he has a good mentality. Yaoge, don't let Qingtian give you a stroke this game."

"Here they come! EDG, charge!!"

"Go TES!!"

"..."

Besides the viewers in the live stream, the audience at the scene was also discussing it enthusiastically.

In the last game, Top Esports' mid and bottom lanes didn't have any major problems and performed quite well.

However, due to the significant disadvantage in the top lane, coupled with Wang Yao's elusive Shaco, the other players were unable to develop at all.

Now that they've switched to sunny weather, there might actually be a chance for them to turn things around.

TES fans were resurrected and began shouting wildly under the tower.

After a short break, both sides returned to the arena.

Besides the substitution of top laner and jungler, another difference from the previous game is that Top Esports chose the red side this time!

The voices of the three commentators blared again from the loudspeaker.

"Top Esports chose the red side, which is quite surprising."

"As far as I know, whether in matches or ranked games, the blue side has a slightly higher win rate than the red side, but Top Esports must have a strategy behind this move."

"I'm guessing they don't want Kshine to get the counter spot?"

"No, no, no, I think it's Top Esports that wants to take the counter-pick position themselves."

Hearing the doll's words, the audience fell into deep thought.

At first glance, the two sentences seem to express the same meaning.

But upon closer inspection, the difference is quite significant!
The reason for not wanting Kshine to take the counter position is that they are afraid that Sunny will be targeted by the second player, making her the red side who is forced to take it.

But Top Esports' intention to take the counter-pick position means that Sunny is going to actively target Wang Yao!

But would anyone actually dare to do that?

This is just a preliminary guess from the kids. To know Top Esports' true thoughts, we still need to see Top Esports' final draft picks.
