League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 171 A Real Man Never Looks Back at an Explosion (A Long Chapter of 10,000 Words)

The QG team arrived at the stadium early on the bus, ready to face today's tough battle. No one was slacking off.

After EDG, their biggest obstacle to their undefeated regular season record is only Snake Esports.

Since SofM stepped on zzr to become Snake Esports' starting player, the entire team seems to have taken off like a rocket.

Saint Gun, SofM, and Crystal share a common trait: they can be phenomenal one minute and utterly erratic the next.

If all three players are playing bots, the whole team can easily concede defeat in twenty minutes with laughter and merriment. In this respect, they are remarkably similar to LGD.

But the difference between them and LGD is that they rose to fame as gods.

If two out of the three players are exceptional, then Snake Esports can fight EDG for three games and lose the third game by a very small margin!

What if there were three gods?

Haven't seen it yet

Anyway, Snake Team is a team with a huge range between their best and worst performance, and no one can guarantee a win against them. QG players are also playing extra cautiously.

After preparations were completed, the competition began quickly.

In the first game, QG still focused on the top lane, with Xiangguo and Chen Dongqing forming a top-jungle duo to break through Flandre's defense.

The effect was still outstanding. Chen Dongqing once again picked the classic Jayce. After gaining the advantage, he went on a killing spree, constantly taking resources with his poke advantage. In the late game, he split pushed and maneuvered, playing a textbook 4-1 split push.

On the Snake team's side, SofM and Crystal failed to perform miraculously and save the team, resulting in a comfortable victory for QG in the first game.

Just when all the viewers thought QG would easily win 2-0 as usual, an unexpected event occurred.

In the second game, SofM and Flandre both went on a godlike streak.

Saint Gun picked Vladimir to lane against Chen Dongqing's Jayce, but he didn't fall behind at the start, with the minion wave remaining in the center.

Immediately afterwards, when Xiangguo ganked top, SofM executed a perfect counter-gank, and the two sides immediately engaged in a 2v2 top-jungle skirmish!

Although this exchange resulted in a one-for-one trade, QG lost Chen Dongqing, while Snake lost SofM, which severely weakened Chen Dongqing.

And then, SofM began to showcase his special skill again – precise jungle spawn calculation.

This is why he is called a Vietnamese bandit; he can closely combine his jungle clearing routes, invasion routes, and the respawn times of all jungle monsters on the map.

When he's in a good rhythm, he can even make sure that wherever he goes, the monsters spawn at that exact moment.

Furthermore, SofM likes to build Tiamat as his first item to increase his jungle clearing efficiency.

Clearly, this playstyle is the nemesis of the starvation jungler.

SofM, who died in the top lane at level 3, first went back to farm jungle monsters to catch up on levels, and then directly ganked the mid lane from the vision, cooperating with his teammates to force Doinb to use Flash.

The time has come exactly six minutes.

Just as Xiangguo was preparing to farm jungle camps and catch up on his level, SofM avoided a direct confrontation and instead led his mid-lane teammates to the other half of the jungle, stealing all of Xiangguo's jungle camps as they spawned.

The jungle monsters were stolen, and Xiangguo didn't reach level six, temporarily halting the game's progress.

SofM continued their momentum, leveraging the lane advantage gained from their previous gank in the mid lane. SofM and the mid laner then coordinated their attack and successfully launched a gank on the bottom lane.

This gank was incredibly powerful, successfully killing both Uzi and Liu Qingsong. With two kills, Crystal instantly took off!

With the boost from the kills, Crystal gradually found his form and firmly maintained his advantage in the bottom lane!

When all three players are at their maximum potential, the Snake team can win against any of them.

Ultimately, QG suffered a regrettable defeat in the second game.

"Liu Shiyu's rhythm was still terrible this game," Banbazi couldn't help but criticize in the rest room. "He got counter-ganked at the start, his jungle was also targeted, he was invisible the whole game, and he didn't play any of the expected rhythm!"

Xiangguo sat on the sofa, listening to the criticism with his head down, and he did not deny it.

Because he knew it was true.

The starvation style is inherently a fighting style that involves walking on the edge of a knife.

Although this playstyle has a very fast pace once it gets going, it can quickly break down a lane and then the jungler.

However, if the rhythm is disrupted, the backlash from not farming jungle camps can be exceptionally large, potentially resulting in the player remaining invisible for the entire game.

Xiangguo (a type of hot pot) has encountered problems when competing with peanuts (a type of peanut).

Xiangguo also encountered problems when he confronted the factory manager.

Now, facing SofM presents a completely new problem.

Season 6 was a jungle-centric meta, with many skilled junglers emerging, and each of them had their own solutions to the "starvation" strategy.

However, QG remained calm.

Because they solved the problem every time, and this time was no exception.

"In the next game, we might need to change the team structure a bit," Chen Dongqing said. "SofM is a master. If his counter-jungling rhythm kicks in, the starvation strategy will definitely not work. We need to suppress this jungler."

"So you mean to strengthen the mid-jungle synergy?" Banbazi said thoughtfully. "Then this game, I'll give you a scaling champion to play yourself, and let Liu Shiyu and Inb do the work, suppressing the enemy jungler, okay?"

"No problem!" Chen Dongqing nodded confidently. "That's exactly what I wanted to say."

Version 6.13 has been out for quite some time now, and they've made ample preparations.

After a brief discussion, the third game officially began!

"Alright, welcome back! This is the live broadcast of the QG vs. Snake match!" Guan Zeyuan's voice carried a hint of excitement as he announced, "After Snake won the last game, the match has now entered its third and decisive game!"

Beside him, Ji De was also quite excited and immediately chimed in, "I have to say, Snake's performance today was absolutely fantastic! It's safe to predict that the upcoming third match will be a clash of titans!"

The two commentators clearly had high hopes for the outcome of today's match.

After all, they'd seen QG win so easily all the time; they'd much rather see QG fight hard against other teams and ultimately win a hard-fought victory.

Of course, losing would make the show even more entertaining, as viewers who aren't biased towards personal feelings love to see upsets.

Guan Zeyuan suddenly heard a message through his headset, and he immediately became serious: "Okay, the ban/pick phase has begun! Let's see the first round of clashes between the two teams!"

The BP screen quickly cuts in, showing that the first round of BP for both sides has been completed!

"Since QG had the first pick in this game, they proactively chose a position on the blue side in the third game and immediately banned Rek'Sai! Snake, on the other hand, banned Viktor!"

Excavator is SofM's specialty. With the abundant resources in the current version's jungle and his unique jungle clearing strategy and tunneling travel skills, he can achieve a true square jungle clearing, farming four jungle areas by himself to quickly develop and then transform into a war god.

In the previous game, it was this excavator that brought QG a rare defeat, so banning it is normal.

"Alright, second ban! QG bans Karma! No problem, it seems they don't want Snake to easily secure bot lane priority. Snake quickly bans Caitlyn, they have the same idea!"

The last move is pretty straightforward; it's still a swap between Poppy and Fiora.

This shows that version 6.13 has once again impacted QG's draft strategy.

Champions like Fizz and Irelia are no longer targets for the opposing team.

"Let's see how both sides pick their champions!" Colonel Guan pondered. "Tree still has Jayce on the table. Will he pick Jayce top lane like last game? But they don't seem to have banned Vladimir, do they? Jayce didn't perform well against Vladimir in the last game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a hero appeared on QG's first floor.

Scarlet Reaper!

This is the hero that Flandre chose in the last game, but this time, it appeared in QG's first pick!

"Oh? This is!" Remember was immediately surprised when he saw this scene. "Is this vampire mid or top lane? Is it Tree Bro's vampire?"

"It should be Tree Bro's!" Guan Zeyuan thought for a moment and came to the answer, "Because I've looked at Doinb's recent ranked game records, and he hasn't played Vladimir much!"

At this point, the two commentators exchanged a glance.

Although Brother Tree doesn't play ranked matches at all, so he's not very convincing in comparison, those who know, know.

When does Tree Bro need to practice picking heroes?

At this point, the comments section was already flooded with terms like "Mi Yue".

Meanwhile, the Snake team immediately began discussing the matter.

"Holy crap, Xuanjun! This guy wants to go head-to-head with you!" Crystal said cheerfully. "He wants to teach you how to play a vampire!"

"Uh..." Flandre scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled. "But he chose a vampire first, and I'm not really that scared!"

Behind the Snake team, Zhu Kai asked with a smile, "Alright then, what top laner are you going to play to take him down?"

Flandre thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what they do and see which lane they're focusing on. Maybe this Vladimir is mid lane?"

After saying that, Snake simply chose Ashe and Braum, the Freljord combination, which is strong in the laning phase and can both attack and defend, making it quite powerful.

QG responded immediately, picking Sivir and Nautilus. The matchup between Sivir and Ashe is roughly even, depending on the support's performance.

At this moment, the camera cuts to the Snake players' bench, where they are still talking non-stop, still locking onto targets incredibly fast, locking onto Graves and Malzahar!!

"Snake's grasshoppers, they're actually pretty good," Colonel Guan said with a laugh. "You never know what position their grasshoppers will be in!"

In Snake's previous matches against SAT, they used Malzahar in the top lane and jungle respectively.

Furthermore, SofM achieved a terrifying 9-0-7 score as Malzahar in that game.

QG was obviously aware of this situation, and they discussed it for a long time.

You can never predict the outcome of a hero who can switch between three lanes, because the opponent has too much room to maneuver.

Ultimately, they decided to go straight to the game, since the main focus of this match was on the mid and jungle. They simply picked Syndra for mid and Lee Sin for jungle, maximizing the mid and jungle strength.

As long as you choose the strategy you want, the lineup will definitely not be too bad.

Meanwhile, Snake also began brainstorming.

"Judging from this, the enemy Vladimir is indeed a top laner! And they probably intend to focus on mid and jungle." Zhu Kai nodded. "So, Xuanjun, what do you say for you? Are you going to play Malzahar, or something else?"

When a grasshopper fights a vampire, neither side gains an advantage.

Flandre thought for a moment and said, "Give me Graves, okay? I can push Vladimir's lane and should be able to support your mid lane, what do you say?"

Graves top lane was a frequent pick in the Spring Split. Although his picks gradually decreased after Bloodlust was nerfed, Snake still occasionally plays him.

There's a reason why Flandre is called the "Acrobatic Top Laner"—he's known for his flashy and unconventional playstyle.

"That works too." Zhu Kai nodded. "Then let's put Graves in the top lane, Malzahar in the mid lane, and then pick Gragas, a champion that counters Lee Sin, how about that?"

"Okay, no problem."

This brain-teasing draft caused the Snake members to think for a while before finally nodding in approval after confirming it was correct.

Immediately afterwards, both sides switched positions, and the lineups were finalized.

Blue side QG: Top lane Vladimir, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Sivir and Nautilus.

Red team Snake: Top lane Graves, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Malzahar, Bot lane Ashe and Braum.

Upon seeing Snake's lineup, even QG remained silent for a long time, pondering the situation.

"Looking at the lineups of both sides," Banbazi frowned slightly, then said, "This game was because I didn't draft well, and the other side outmaneuvered me."

In fact, all three lanes were fairly evenly matched in this game, with no one lane having an absolute advantage or disadvantage.

However, they are on the blue side and have the advantage in the draft phase, so making this even draft is already a small loss for them.

"Don't worry, this round depends on how well both sides perform, right?" Chen Dongqing nodded confidently. "If we drag this out until I come out of retirement, we're guaranteed to win!"

"So confident?" Banbazi smiled. "That's good, keep it up!"

After saying that, he gave a thumbs up and then went to the center of the stage to shake hands.

At this moment, the commentator was saying something similar.

"This round, it all comes down to how the players perform!" Colonel Guan said, looking at the lineups of both sides. "Just looking at them, I really can't say which lineup has a significant advantage!"

"Isn't that great?" Ji De laughed. "With all three lanes evenly matched, the outcome of the match will be entirely in the players' hands. That's the kind of game we want to see!"

The canyon descended with a thunderous roar, and cheers from the audience instantly rose, followed by alternating cheers from both sides!

"Okay, we can see that level one is still peaceful, but the difference is that both junglers have very tacitly chosen to start in the top side of the map this time!"

As he spoke, Colonel Guan glanced at both sides' equipment and then remarked, "Hey, Brother Shu's starting items are quite interesting!"

Upon hearing this, I turned my gaze to the past and saw a white scythe lying quietly in my equipment inventory.

"Is he going for a free-for-all?" Remember chuckled. "And he's even taking Wind Rider as his rune. Looks like Tree Bro isn't planning on laning at all this game!"

"I won't gank top this time," Xiangguo said. "I'll farm down and then try my luck in mid lane."

In this game, both top laners were playing Vladimir against Graves, both champions without crowd control. Neither jungler was willing to gank top lane, so they started farming in the top half of the map and then moved down to farm.

This is why Chen Dongqing would make such an extreme build.

Without Ignite, it's very difficult for Vladimir to kill Graves, who has multiple dashes. It's better to just lane him quietly, and the jungler shouldn't come either. Let Vladimir farm until he's completely overwhelmed.

"OK." Chen Dongqing nodded. "It's okay, you don't need to come this round, I can play by myself."

Soon, the top lane minions were released.

Lee Sin can easily solo jungle camps with W at level 1, so Chen Dongqing didn't help the jungle this time, but instead chose to go straight to lane and reach level 2 first.

On the other side, Flandre's Graves didn't appear immediately, but instead emerged from the jungle a few seconds later.

Chen Dongqing then pinged a signal and said, "The other side might also be opening in the upper half of the server, so be careful."

Xiangguo responded with a "I understand," and then said no more.

Although the release was much slower, Flandre didn't seem to back down at all. Graves started last-hitting minions and pushing the lane right away, and he also used his Q skill immediately!

A level 1 Graves with Q is definitely a safe bet, coming out with the intention of pushing the lane and putting pressure on the enemy.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing grinned, which suited him perfectly!

Vladimir is easy to farm under the tower, so push the lane as much as you want! Anyway, there are no plating plates in this version, so pushing the lane won't give you any benefit!

Chen Dongqing didn't resist and just kept farming his own minions. He let the enemy push the lane as they pleased, and soon after the third wave of cannon minions, the minion wave was pushed under the tower by Flandre.

Chen Dongqing remained calm and quickly determined how to handle the tower minion wave within seconds of it entering the tower.

First, coordinate with the turret to take down the first melee unit with half health. Then, while the turret is switching to artillery units, quickly cripple the ranged unit with one-third health in the back.

At this moment, the siege engine soldier was also hit by the defensive tower and was about to finish him off with a basic attack when Holy Gun suddenly made a move and threw a smoke grenade.

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow slightly.

So you only learn these bad things every day, huh?

His current 94-point reaction time is all about speed. The moment he saw Graves' smoke grenade hit him, he pressed his E skill twice in quick succession.

His E is a non-smart cast; press it once to charge, press it again to release, and two consecutive presses will release an E instantly, just in time to finish off the siege minion.

This wave, this wave is called a game of strategy.

The initial tower dive doesn't require any additional minions, so this tower dive isn't too difficult. Chen Dongqing first killed the ranged minions that were already weakened, and then followed the tower's attacks, taking down each minion that was weakened by the tower. If he encountered a minion that couldn't be taken down with a basic attack, he would use AQ to finish it off.

A perfect 19-hit combo with no misses.

At that moment, the camera switched to the top lane, and the live stream chat started flooded with comments saying "Good pick".

After the minion wave was reset by the turret, it should have retreated outside the turret and formed a pushback wave. However, Graves' wave pushing ability was far superior to Vladimir's, and the wave was pushed back in no time!

The situation on the top lane remained deadlocked, and Chen Dongqing slowly farmed minions by relying on the tower, and it took him five and a half minutes to farm.

After the eighth wave of minions entered the camp, Chen Dongqing pressed TAB and glanced at his last-hit kill.

47 dollars.

There are now a total of eight waves of minions, totaling 50 hits. Even under the continuous high pressure of tower attacks, Chen Dongqing only missed 3 hits.

Moreover, two of those three strikes were landed outside the tower, two minions that Chen Dongqing sacrificed to maintain his condition.

Throughout the entire match, no one could match his last-hit kill.

The only close matchup is between the two teams' bot lanes and the Graves in lane. Because the two bot lanes fought fiercely, they both recalled to base to replenish their health and mana, and now both have 43 CS.

Meanwhile, Flandre was also pressing TAB to watch his minions on both sides, but his expression darkened slightly.

Because his last hits were only 43.

Flandre missed seven stabs without any interference from anyone and without ever going home!

Anyone who has played Graves online knows that because his AOE attacks are not entirely controllable, and there is also the reload mechanic, Graves' last-hitting is not particularly consistent.

When pushing the lane continuously, it's easy to miss minions, and even professional players can't avoid it. This requires a lot of Graves laning experience to gradually make up for it.

The two commentators on stage were also amazed by Chen Dongqing's solid basic skills.

"That's a demonstration of exceptional farming ability!" Colonel Guan exclaimed. "To manage to come back and take the lead while constantly being pushed down in lane—that's an incredibly difficult feat!"

Remember added, "Furthermore, we can see that Graves' mana bar is almost empty now. I think Flandre might need to recall to replenish his mana! Then Vladimir's CS lead might increase even further!"

Mana wasn't really an issue, because Flandre had planned it all out long ago; he had planned to return to base to replenish his mana after the ninth wave of siege minions entered the tower.

The ninth wave of minions has just arrived and the battle has begun. Pushing the towers will allow for a comfortable return to base. If nothing unexpected happens, this strategy seems quite solid.

But life is always full of surprises.

Just then, Chen Dongqing's attitude towards the lane suddenly changed dramatically!

He, who had always been submissive, suddenly became tough. The vampire began to actively use his E skill to deal AOE damage, hitting seven minions with one E.

Chen Dongqing grinned at this moment. Of course he understood what Holy Gun was thinking, and of course he couldn't just let the other party have his way!

You held me down for almost six minutes. Did you enjoy it?

Now it's my turn to put you on the spot!

Both sides used their skills to push the lane. Although Graves' pushing speed was still much faster, Chen Dongqing played extremely aggressively this time, directly blocking the remaining minions outside the tower with his body and taking them all down with an EQ combo.

At this point, both top laners had reached level six, and the tenth wave of minions had arrived.

This time, Chen Dongqing stopped pretending.

He seized the opportunity when Graves was last-hitting minions and immediately unleashed his ultimate, Blood Plague, which engulfed all six minions and Graves!

Immediately afterwards, an E hit six more minions!

With the help of his ultimate skill, Chen Dongqing cleared the minion wave first this time!

Saint Gun Bro was immediately embarrassed.

Because he really doesn't have a single drop of blue left.

Even if he can clear this wave, how will he withstand the next wave?

Saint Gun's face turned ashen. He truly hadn't expected to be suppressed by a vampire!

With no other option, Flandre had to resort to his ultimate move—calling for backup.

"Help me push the line down," he said in voice chat. "I'm out of mana and can't push it in."

"Huh?" SofM was a little surprised. He almost thought that his own top laner was the vampire. He switched the screen to look at the top lane and immediately became puzzled.

How did Graves end up losing to Vampire?

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to go ahead and help.

During these six minutes, the junglers on both sides were constantly battling it out, invading each other's territory, and counter-ganking.

However, because both junglers were active in the bottom half of the map the whole time, they kept running into each other, and neither side managed to gank anything.

But now, an unexpected situation has arisen on the road, changing this situation.

SofM certainly wasn't going to make a wasted trip to the top lane. He started filling his Gragas in the river beforehand, hoping to get caught and killed by the Vladimir who was pushing the lane!

The barrels were filled with wine in the river beforehand, and then they were flushed out of the river!

Upon seeing the barrel, Chen Dongqing instantly planned his escape route. He decisively used his Q on a minion to build up his rage bar to two bars, ready to unleash his red rage Q the next time it was ready.

At this moment, SofM acted decisively, using an E-flash to crash into him!

The vampire's E skill requires him to expend health to push the lane, and he also tanked the minion wave earlier, so his health is not healthy now, only around 60%.

If we can use E-Flash-R to knock the vampire back, then we might actually have a chance!

However, Chen Dongqing was no fool.

Upon seeing the barrel placed far away and the player immediately using E, he understood what the other player wanted to do, so he decisively pressed W!

The vampire vanished into the blood pool out of thin air, and the next instant, the barrel appeared on top of it, only to bump into nothing.

Commentator Xi Guan immediately perked up, "Tree predicted that E-Flash and dodged it with Blood Pool! But Gragas still has his ultimate! So what do we say about this!"

SofM wasn't discouraged when he saw his E-Flash get dodged. As soon as the Vladimir got up, he immediately unleashed his ultimate!

Actually, if E hadn't hit him, it would have been very difficult to kill him, but SofM still wanted to bite the bullet and give it a try.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing watched as the barrel unleashed its ultimate attack, but he remained completely calm.

I don't even want to use Flash.

You don't think this will kill me, do you?

Chen Dongqing let himself be blasted back by the ultimate skill, and then took a slow from Gragas's Q.

He now had less than a third of his health left.

But now he's facing a Graves with no mana left and a Gragas who's used up all his abilities.

Both of them have American and European skills, how can they kill him?

The two chased the vampire A all the way back to the tower. Just when the vampire's health bar was about to drop to low health, the rage bar below the health bar was full.

Chen Dongqing immediately turned around and used a red-rage Q on the barrel, instantly restoring his health to over 100, directly thwarting Snake's top and jungle's hopes of securing a kill.

"That was a close call!" Colonel Guan immediately exclaimed. "Brother Shu played it safe that time, not even using his flash when he only had a few dozen drops of health left!"

SofM seemed a little disappointed and uttered one of the few Chinese phrases he knew: "Holy crap."

Chen Dongqing smiled and returned to the city with peace of mind.

Although he will lose a few soldiers during this recall, it's not a big problem.

He believed his teammates would fight back.

SofM has already made a move, so how could Xiangguo not do the same?

At this moment, the camera quickly moved to the mid lane, and everyone saw that Lee Sin had appeared in the mid lane vision!

Xiangguo had been plotting against the mid-lane jungler for a long time, and now that the Gragas wasn't nearby, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by!

This time, Lee Sin didn't need any fancy moves. He quickly rushed out of the river, used a ward hop to get right next to Malzahar, used his E to break Malzahar's passive, and then used his second E to slow him down.

Doinb's Syndra seized the opportunity of the slow effect to quickly close the distance, and then decisively used QE to attack when she was at the right distance!

The Dark Orb shot out rapidly under the effect of the Weaklings' Retreat, heading straight for the grasshopper!

TANK had no choice but to Flash away, but that Flash sealed his fate.

Xiangguo had his Q skill ready for this moment. He landed his Q skill precisely, used the second part of Q to get close, and then used R-flash to kick Malzahar back!

Doinb caught the ball perfectly, smashed it onto Malzahar, and then unleashed his ultimate!

The four magic orbs bombarded the grasshopper simultaneously, instantly emptying its health bar!

"First blood!"

The game was a bit slow-paced, and it wasn't until almost eight minutes into the game that the first blood was finally drawn.

Fortunately, QG secured the first blood.

"Nice, nice!" Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction.

This first blood was a fair reward for the few minions he lost.

Chen Dongqing remained unhurried, slowly adding insult to injury.

His development cycle is still long; we'll have to wait until the extraction and replenishment process is complete before we can talk about it.

The clashes between the two sides in the lower half of the grid continued immediately afterward.

Although Snake gave up first blood, he didn't get carried away by it.

With grasshoppers and barrels, they are still qualified to launch an attack.

So SofM first farmed the jungle and waited for his ultimate to cool down, and then decisively attacked the mid lane!

SofM pulled a stunt this time; he went straight into QG's bottom jungle and stood in ambush at the F4 camp.

Then he finally seized the opportunity when Doinb approached, and used his R [Explosive Barrel] to suddenly blast Doinb out of the tower!

Immediately following, Malzahar unleashed a QWER face-roll keyboard combo, keeping Syndra pinned down!

SofM used E to jump over the wall again, and WQ easily secured the kill on Doinb.

The score is now tied at 1-1.

"It's mine," Doinb immediately confessed. "I didn't realize it."

Seeing the situation in the mid lane, Chen Dongqing casually said, "It's okay, save your Flash for the next kill."

To be honest, if it were him, he could most likely have used Flash to dodge this ultimate skill, but if he couldn't dodge it, there wasn't much he could do. Saving Flash for later wouldn't be a bad idea.

Doinb pursed his lips, deciding that he would definitely fight back himself later.

Immediately afterwards, Doinb teamed up with Xiangguo again, this time targeting the still-unrecoverable Gragas.

Doinb clearly harbored a grudge against this Gragas. When he and Xiangguo spotted someone in the jungle, they didn't hesitate at all and immediately flashed in to push the ball!

This move was actually a bit risky, but fortunately the Dark Orb still hit the target accurately in the end!

Seeing this, Xiangguo shouted "Awesome!" and then quickly used Q to deal damage. Doinb followed up with a WR combo and secured another kill!

Immediately afterwards, Snake retaliated again. This time, SofM came to the bottom lane and, with Ashe's ultimate, managed to lock down Liu Qingsong and kill him as well.

The midfielders and junglers from both sides fought back and forth in this back-and-forth rhythm, and it was impossible to say who had the advantage or disadvantage.

This situation is clearly good news for Chen Dongqing.

The opposing mid and jungle players were already giving it their all in their lane matchups, so they clearly didn't have time to interfere with his development as a vampire.

The time quickly reached 12 minutes.

Chen Dongqing's last-hit kills have reached a terrifying 113, close to the timeline.

The extraction he made at the start of the game has already been replenished and converted into extra gold coins.

Chen Dongqing pushed the lane into the tower and then quickly returned to base. Without hesitation, he sold the Extract he had and then quickly began purchasing equipment.

The shoes and two yellow books I bought during the last return to base instantly turned into magic penetration shoes and rocket belt.

Twelve minutes of patience and patience finally paid off, and the tower strikes yielded fruitful results.

Chen Dongqing looked at the equipment with full confidence.

Now it's his turn to step up and lead the team.

The primary objective is to target this Graves first!

Soon, Chen Dongqing logged back in. He first pressed TAB to check the Graves' equipment.

Serrated dagger, Caulfield's warhammer, Doran's sword.

Actually, Flandre's last hits weren't much behind Chen Dongqing's, only about ten hits behind.

However, because he didn't build Culling and instead started with Doran's Blade, his gold was actually about 500-600 less than Chen Dongqing's, which is why he hasn't been able to complete his first item yet.

Chen Dongqing gave Saint Gun a high degree of recognition in his heart.

A real man doesn't draw his Demon-Drinking Blade.

But you are already dead.

With his superior equipment, Chen Dongqing had no reason to be afraid, and the vampire pressed forward decisively.

After creating the rocket belt, the vampire's combat power will experience a qualitative leap!

This item provides ability power, health, cooldown reduction, and mobility – all core attributes for a vampire!

Chen Dongqing used his E skill to push the lane; now he only needs two E skills to clear an entire wave of minions.

Although Graves' wave clear speed was not bad, Chen Dongqing played aggressively. With his equipment advantage, Vladimir stood right in his face, and Flandre didn't dare to go up and risk his life!

Saint Gun looked at the top lane matchup, slightly confused, wondering why he had suddenly become so disadvantaged.

We have no choice but to keep calling for more players!

Just then, SofM seemed to understand his meaning and gave the top laner a timely "on the way" signal.

SofM's Chinese isn't very good, so signal communication is his primary method.

At that moment, the mid-laner, Tank, chimed in, "I can come to the top lane too!"

"OK, OK!" Flandre nodded immediately. "Come on, let's get this kill."

After a brief exchange, a gank is ready to go!

Chen Dongqing seemed completely unaware of this, and continued pushing the lane, quickly advancing the minion wave to the turret.

Chen Dongqing looked at the male gunner below the tower, his killing intent already made up.

Instead of making a move, he dove under the tower and used his Q ability to hit the minion that had just walked over.

The vampire's anger immediately began to rise rapidly, and he was about to enter a state of red rage!

Just as Chen Dongqing was about to take action, an unexpected event occurred: a wine barrel appeared in his field of vision along the river.

And behind the barrel, there was a Malzahar!

Signals started flashing on the minimap. Xiangguo, thinking Chen Dongqing hadn't seen them, immediately shouted, "There are two guys behind you. Run into their jungle, I can pick you up!"

But his response was Chen Dongqing's cold reply: "No need."

He was about to make his move when the opponent had only just reached the vicinity of the top lane.

Why should he run away?

Let's kill them first!

Speaking of which, the vampire's rage bar is about to reach its maximum value, which means that his Q skill will soon be ready again!

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing did not hesitate. He first used a basic attack on the Graves, and then quickly began to charge up his E [Blood Tide]!

During the charging period, R [Blood Plague] was also applied to Graves!

boom!

The Blood Plague Explosion skill deals considerable damage at these two levels, taking away 221 health from a Graves with 50 magic resistance!

A level 12, level 9 male gunner has around 1300 health, and this AE attack only took away one-fifth of it.

Chen Dongqing already knew what was going on when he saw the injury.

It can kill.

At this moment, Gragas and Malzahar have already reached the position in front of the tower. It is very likely that Malzahar will flash up and use his ultimate to suppress him in the next second!

We have to act fast!

Chen Dongqing's hand speed was explosive. He used an A followed by a red-rage Q to hit the Graves, then launched another auto-attack, and instantly pressed W to escape into the blood pool!

50!

329!

50!

After three consecutive hits, Graves' health bar plummeted, leaving him with less than 500 health points in an instant!

At the very end of this combo, TANK's Malzahar flashed up, seemingly trying to use his ultimate to hold down the Vladimir!

But at the same time, after finishing off Chen Dongqing, he pressed W, and the vampire just happened to disappear into the blood pool, causing Malzahar's ultimate skill to lose its target!

Then, Snake's people watched as the vampire, who had entered the pool of blood and was invincible, first used a push rod to penetrate Graves' face, and then another burst of damage!

230!

The male gunner's health bar is down to less than 200!

Immediately afterwards, the vampire, with the speed boost from [Storm Rider's Surge], sped away in a flash!

"The vampire landed a full combo, triggering Wind Rider, and then used W to escape!" Colonel Guan's voice echoed throughout the arena. "The Blood Pool is untargetable! Even if the tank flashes in, their ultimate won't reach this vampire!"

At this moment, the audience all perked up!

The vampire still has Flash, so escaping is inevitable.

What about Graves?

Under the tower, Graves had less than 200 health left, but he was still glowing red from Vladimir's ultimate, and there was still some damage he hadn't dealt yet.

Saint Gun seems to still have hope, attacking the creeps again and again, hoping that Warlord's Bloodlust can save his life.

SofM couldn't help but sigh.

It’s over.

They were a barrel and a grasshopper, offering no help whatsoever to the Graves.

"Is that Graves dead?" Colonel Guan asked hesitantly. "It seems like he didn't do enough damage!"

"Dead! Dead! Absolutely dead!" Remember to give Flandre a death sentence right away!

The next second, the Blood Plague broke out.

220!

A not-so-high number popped up, but that damage was enough to wipe out the rest of Graves' health!

"QGilex has killed SSFlandre!"

Solo kill!

When Graves died, Vladimir had already used the effect of Wind Rider to rush into Snake's jungle and had disappeared.

A real man never looks back at an explosion.

"He killed him!" The two commentators were incredibly excited, with Guan Daxiao shouting, "Brother Shu not only escaped from a three-man attack but also managed to kill one of them! He was so confident this time!"

Screams and cheers erupted instantly!

Today's chapter is still 10,000 words per day.

I watched the match today, and all I can say is that TheShy truly lives up to his name.
