You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 296 Flying!
The audience witnessed this sudden comeback, and the live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments!

[Awesome! I never expected them to turn this around!]

[This is unbelievable! How could this lineup actually win? The late-game potential of three marksmen is really high! No matter how much armor the opponent builds, it doesn't matter.]

[Shouldn't we thank PeePee for this? Without him giving us that feed, the left side would never have been able to turn the game around.]

Greatness needs no further explanation!

[Is it really easy to die in the mid lane if you pee? Is there some kind of curse?]

[This is the kind of All-Star game we should be having! The entertainment value is off the charts, unlike the past few years when Liu Qingsong's flaming plays were so disgusting and ruined the whole thing!]

[It really was true, I was so disgusted that I didn't get to see the third game that year.]

On stage, the members of the Mingjing team all wore relaxed smiles.

It's impossible not to be happy after such a thrilling comeback.

"Awesome, Xiao Tian!" Ming Jing and Xiao Tian gave each other a light high five. "Great kick!"

Xiao Tian chuckled, but didn't say anything.

From the very beginning, Xiaotian was not involved in the team's decision-making. Instead, he stayed in the lower jungle, preparing for a grand strategy.

This can actually be seen from the information about Baron's death; there was no assist from Lee Sin.

However, the opposing team clearly didn't notice this and continued to fight in the river, giving Xiaotian the opportunity to end the game with a single kick.

"How so?" Meiko adjusted her glasses. "Shouldn't we make the second game a little more fun?"

Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, understanding what the other party meant, "Okay."

To put it simply, the All-Star Game is a battle of popularity between the most popular players in each region, and making sure the audience enjoys the show is the top priority.

Just like in the NBA All-Star Game, players don't really get serious until the fourth quarter.

In the LPL version of the All-Star game, both sides usually cooperate to play a full BO3 series and then play a serious game in the final competitive draft.

The only exception was the S9 All-Star event, where players voted to break up the champion FPX team, give the jungler and support to IG, give the mid laner to RNG, and add the national number one player, Flandre, creating the ultimate e-sports Spring Festival Gala.

However, FPX, fresh off their championship win, clearly didn't want to be a supporting player for the other two teams. Liu Qingsong went on a rampage, feeding the enemy team 0-26 in both games, giving neither side a chance to play a third game. This completely ruined the entertainment value and greatly disappointed countless viewers who were looking forward to the ultimate showdown.

Ming Jing wouldn't play the villain. Since the audience wanted to see a real third round, he would make it more entertaining and give the other side a chance for a third round.

Of course, whether they can win is another matter, since the other side is also quite tough.

The second game uses a blind pick mechanism, where both sides freely choose their heroes, just like in a match.

"How so?" Xiaohu, always eager for drama, asked, "How about a set of JD.com's championship skins?"

Ming Jing raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to play Ornn?"

This question stumped Xiaohu.

He really doesn't know how.

He was a newcomer to top lane after all; he had only played Ornn twice during the Spring Split, before the team's playstyle was finalized, and he lost both games.

Since then, RNG has gradually established a playstyle centered around Xiaohu, and has become even less likely to choose tank champions like Ornn.

Xiaohu is known for his limited Pokémon hero pool; he forgets each Pokémon he trains, and his proficiency with Ornn has long been completely lost.

It's not that I'm afraid of losing, it's just that so many people are watching. If I pull off some abstract move that's not even as good as my ultimate move, it would be too embarrassing!
Don't think that no one will cause trouble in exhibition matches. The story of Mingjing's cousin playing nine Lee Sin players with one ball is still being brought up every year!

"It's okay, I can do it!" GALA volunteered. "I'll play top, Tiger can play mid, and Fei Shen can play AD. Tiger's Azir shouldn't be rusty, right?"

"Come on!" Little Tiger agreed without hesitation.

Once the match started, Mingjing's team had five JD.com championship skins, which looked quite impressive.

However, the other side is also quite adept at creating entertaining content.

Top laner TheShy played Malphite, while JieJie played Master Yi. Mid laner Zed was also locked in, paired with the two newly released champions, Zerilla and Natasha, in the bot lane. Neither of them were familiar to the opposing team.

This match was truly intense, with one or two kills occurring almost every minute. In fact, both sides engaged in a passionate 4v4 team fight in the bottom river just for a single river crab.

However, it must be said that JDG's championship skin lineup is a bit late-game lopsided. Neither the Ornn nor the Azir-Jinx duo is a carry champion.

This means that Mingjing's side will be at a disadvantage in a fight, and a disadvantage is inevitable.

But the members of Mingjing's team didn't care about any of that and continued to fight fiercely, watching their disadvantage grow bigger and bigger!
Even so, the situation is still somewhat off.

The main problem is that Ming Jing took too many lives.

Although Mingjing's team was behind in kills, most of the team's kills were concentrated in Jinx's hands.

This meant that Jinx's economy not only didn't fall behind, but actually surpassed JackeyLove's Zephyr by a little bit.

And in the blink of an eye, twenty-five minutes had passed, and it was time to enter the three-piece set stage.

If things continue at this pace, once Ornn gets the equipment for Jinx, the outcome will be really hard to say!

We can't expect Jie Jie's Sword Saint to kill Ming Jing, can we?
Fortunately, Mingjing knew what was going on. Jinx was showing off in the mid lane, switching to her cannon and relentlessly bombarding the enemy, which finally provoked their anger.

TheShy's Malphite flashed right up to Mingjing's face and then used his ultimate, giving Mingjing no chance to react.

If he had charged straight at Ming Jing, Ming Jing might have hesitated for a moment and then pretended to be stupid and taken the hit.

But his sudden use of his ultimate skill startled Ming Jing, causing him to instinctively use his own Flash to dodge the collision!
But Mingjing quickly realized his mistake and stopped retreating. Instead, he turned back and launched a fierce barrage of artillery fire.

On the opposing side, Ming's Alistar used his WQ combo to push in, followed by the entry of Juggernaut and Zephyr. Ming Jing died instantly, lying dead in the mid lane.

Yes, it's the spot where JackeyLove died last game.

The flash to dodge a close-range ultimate move proves skill, then turning around and dying instantly unlocks a popular photo spot, highlighting a good balance between tension and relaxation.

After one round, there was no suspense left. The All-Star main event entered the decisive game, which was the draft mode that the audience was most looking forward to. This is the BP mode used in the game!

During the hero banning phase, the opposing team showed great respect for Mingjing, banning Lucian, Twisted Fate, and Galio.

That's right, those are the three heroes that Ming Jing chose in the three final games.

In general, normal teams wouldn't ban Mingjing's Galio, since Mingjing only picked him once in the decisive game.

It was obvious that this was Zhao Lijie's idea; he understood better than anyone how terrifying Ming Jing's Galio was.

Everyone knows that Mingjing's cards are extremely powerful.

Because Mingjing's precise mechanics compensated for the weakness of Twisted Fate in the laning phase, coupled with his top-notch roaming rhythm, Mingjing's Twisted Fate became a true all-rounder, capable of both lane dominance and roaming rhythm!
But in reality, the same principle applies to Mingjing's Galio.

Galio can do everything that cards can do, and in some ways even better.

Seeing this ban, Mingjing was quite helpless and simply locked in Yasuo to pair with Xiaotian's Lee Sin. Since they already had Xiaohu and GALA as carries, Mingjing decided to follow the local customs and learn RNG's playstyle and rhythm, focusing on Xiaohu in the top lane.

Xiaohu had long wanted to test Mingjing's mid-lane rhythm, so he didn't hold back and directly locked in Jayce.

GALA opted to use the bomb to withstand the pressure, allowing Meiko's Minotaur to roam freely, making it the most team-oriented episode.

Looking at the lineup in front of him, Xiao Tian was eager to fight Ming Jing.

It's no exaggeration to say that it wasn't until the third game that Mingjing's team finally got a lineup that suited them.

In the first two games, either the team composition was abstract, or the team composition was reasonable but the gameplay was abstract. No matter how I played, it just didn't feel right, and I was always at a disadvantage in the early game.

This time, we deserve a win!

Mingjing also had this intention.

He's not the type to play in a losing situation!

In this match, Yasuo was laning against Rookie's Syndra. It wasn't an easy matchup, but Yasuo had Wind Wall to block Syndra's ultimate, which almost guaranteed he wouldn't get solo killed.

This gave Mingjing the courage to use his E skill to exchange blows.

The two mid laners were trading blows fiercely from level one, and both sides had to recall to base to replenish their supplies after only reaching level three.

Not long after the game was launched, the junglers from both sides coordinated to gank the mid lane at the same time, and a 2v2 situation came out of nowhere!

JieJie took the lead, and the Prince used an EQ Flash to forcefully knock MingJing into the air!
But Mingjing had a clear mind and seemed to have anticipated this EQ flash, so before knocking Syndra away, he actually released a wind wall in Syndra's direction!
That wind wall was truly fatal, breaking the enemy mid and jungle's control chain. But Rookie was decisive enough, Syndra forcibly flashed over the wind wall, and used WQE to stun Mingjing!
"But this damage doesn't seem enough! Little Fei landed with low health, and it looks like he can still run!"

Prince Syndra deals considerable damage, but she's not even level six yet, so it's still wishful thinking to think she can one-shot a Yasuo who's almost at full health.

When Ming Jing awoke from the control, he still had a quarter of his health remaining, but he didn't try to escape. Instead, he used an E-spell to cross the prince's path, causing an emergency.

On the contrary, Mingjing played aggressively, using his E skill to cross through the Prince, and then another E to rush to Syndra's face, chasing and slashing!

Xiaotian seized the opportunity when Mingjing moved to his face, and the Blind Monk first used W to poke in, and then used Q [Sonic Wave] to hit his face steadily!
At this point in the game, Rookie's Syndra was already doomed, since he had missed all his abilities and was out of Flash.

Ming Jing could easily use Flash to escape and make a clean break.

However, he had no intention of using his dodge ability; he simply let the prince's halberd strike down and empty his health bar.

Xiaotian also secured the kill on Rookie's Syndra with a [Echo Slam], resulting in a one-for-one trade between the two sides, with each jungler taking the kill.

But the seeds of future problems have already been sown.

Rookie used Flash in this exchange, while Mingjing still had Flash available.

This is why Ming Jing would rather die than hand over this flash.

He needs to rely on this flash difference to make plays.

One minute later, the minion wave pushed forward again to the enemy tower.

Mingjing looked at Syndra, who had 70% health under the tower, used Q on a minion to build up a Q stack, and then directly E into the tower!
"Hey, they're going to tower dive! They're going to tower dive!" From the commentary booth, Guan Daxiao exclaimed again, "Xiao Feishen is up to something! Rookie doesn't have Flash!"

In the video, Yasuo uses a newly released minion to E onto Syndra's face, and then unleashes a series of attacks with AQ!

On the other side, Rookie was quick to act. Syndra used her Q skill first, and seeing that Yasuo had no reaction, he decisively used RE in quick succession!

Syndra's E skill has a slight delay effect. You can first push Yasuo in front of you into the air, using the knockback effect to prevent him from using his Wind Wall, and then push away the orbs generated by her ultimate to stun Yasuo.

Under his own turret, as long as this E skill works, Yasuo will either die or be severely injured!
However, Mingjing perfectly understood Rookie's thinking.

Almost the instant he pressed his ultimate, Yasuo used his E to retreat a step behind a minion, and at the same time turned around and swung his Wind Barrier between the two of them!
The four dark orbs crashed into the wind wall one after another, but failed to harm Yasuo in the slightest!
On the other hand, Yasuo adjusted his angle, used his E to kill back, and then used a basic attack to strike, stacking three layers of deadly rhythm, followed by his Q skill, Tornado!

Mingjing also brought Lethal Tempo in this game. Just these three stacks of Lethal Tempo have already generated a 45% attack speed bonus.

In addition, the attack speed boots that Yasuo was already wearing significantly reduced the cooldown of his Q skill, bringing it down to a minimum of 1.33 seconds.

Under this CD, Yasuo can unlock the hidden mechanism - Double Wind.

After blowing the enemy away, Mingjing raised his sword and slashed again, then pressed EQR repeatedly!

The instant Yasuo unleashed his EQ circular slash, he used his ultimate to fly to Syndra's side and forcefully dealt another Q's worth of damage.

After using his ultimate, Yasuo immediately followed up with an AQ combo, instantly depleting Syndra's health bar and leaving her dead on the spot!
In the instant of the kill, Yasuo used a minion to dash, then flashed out of the tower at the perfect distance, completing a perfect tower dive solo kill!

"Solo kill!" Miller couldn't stop laughing as he watched. "What a smooth Yasuo! Flying God!"

In the live stream, the screen was filled with "666". Ming Jing's solo kill was indeed a bit too confident, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Tian, ​​who was a teammate, was full of praise when he saw this.

Wow, you can kill that too?

Is it disrespectful to Rookie to play like this at the All-Star game?
Of course, he didn't let Rookie off the hook either.

After Xiaotian and Mingjing's ultimate abilities were ready, they also came to the mid lane to join in the fun. The Lee Sin came out from behind, forcibly used a ward hop and R flash to kick, sending Rookie right to Mingjing's mouth.

Ming Jing didn't hold back either, using EQ on a minion followed by R, then landing with a Q to unleash a whirlwind, and then EQ Syndra to knock her up, finishing her off with two more hits.

A Yasuo with a 2-0 score is almost invincible.

Not long after, the two appeared on the top lane again. Xiaohu's Jayce flashed in and used his E to knock up Mingjing, allowing Mingjing to reliably follow up with his R. With the combined efforts of the top, mid, and jungle, they easily secured another kill on TheShy.

In the following period, Ming Jing could quickly launch an offensive rhythm as soon as his ultimate skill was ready.

Several players on EDG have very reliable knock-up control, allowing Mingjing to easily enter the fray.

Even the Bomber's W skill is incredibly effective.

At 27 minutes, during the Baron fight, GALA's Bombardier was frantically throwing bombs in front of him under the protection of his teammates.

GALA has always been good at seizing opportunities. He saw that the enemy's formation was slightly shrinking due to the low health of Baron Nashor, and he immediately threw out a W [Targeted Demolition]!

This W spell blew up all four opponents except for JieJie!

In that instant, four dotted lines appeared on Ming Jing's screen. Although it was extremely brief, he subconsciously pressed the ultimate move!

Almost instantly, Yasuo rushed into the arena and tackled all four opponents!

Taking this opportunity, Xiaohu swung his hammer and smashed it in. Meiko's Minotaur entered the fray with a double attack, followed by a knockback, and his ultimate bomb landed with a bang!
Seeing his four teammates being taken down like that, Jie Jie was momentarily stunned, but there was nothing he could do but watch as his four teammates were instantly melted away.

With a 0-for-4 exchange, Mingjing team seized the opportunity to take down the Baron, and then continued their winning streak, ending the game with a kill score of 27:19 at the 31-minute mark!

Ming Jing has once again won the All-Star Game MVP!

The screen was once again flooded with "Fly!" in the comments section, and countless viewers were on the edge of their seats after watching the match.

Because they all understand that after watching this All-Star game, they might have to wait until the Summer Split to see Fei Shen play again.
