League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 175 A Master Plays with Knives: Q Flash Double Blazing Fire!

8 month 15 day.

The sun was still high in the sky, and the extremely high temperature made it almost impossible to see the fans who came to pick up the car.

As soon as the QG members got off the bus, they felt the heat wave hit them. They greeted a few scattered fans as they walked quickly toward the venue.

After entering the lounge, everyone first sent their peripherals for inspection, and then watched the competition being played on the lounge's TV.

Yes, there is a game going on in progress.

In the current LPL playoffs, two best-of-five (BO5) matches are played in one day, even in the semifinals.

The fact that such an unreasonable competition format exists only shows that the organizer, Banana Culture, has lost their mind.

EDG and WE are in the upper bracket, so their match will start first. According to the schedule, their match will start at 1:00 PM, while QG and Snake's match will start at 5:00 PM.

However, such plans can never keep up with changes. After all, this version relies on the bottom lane to play the game, and the bottom lane is a lane that needs items, so the pace is naturally slower. It is common for a game to last more than forty minutes. Including the halftime break and the draft, a game can easily take an hour.

Allowing four hours in between might not be enough.

QG actually arrived quite late, entering the venue at 3:30 PM, but were surprised to find that the third match had only just begun, and the score was currently 1-1.

"Huh?" The Uzbeks were dumbfounded. "Only two games in two and a half hours?"

Linko began by saying, "I heard there was some mishap during the first game, which caused a half-hour break."

Tortured.

There was nothing else they could do but wait and watch the game.

In this match, Condi picked Spider jungle to counter Clearlove's Hecarim.

For the first five minutes, the two sides were at peace. Soon, Condi started his first wave of attack.

After clearing a round of jungle monsters, Spider recalled to base. This time, instead of buying a jungle item, he directly bought a pair of Boots of Speed ​​and headed straight for the bottom lane!

Clearly, Condi is going to speed things up.

Spider went straight to the bottom lane and, taking advantage of his own push, quickly disappeared into the bush.

Immediately afterwards, the factory manager's men arrived uninvited.

Zhuge Mingkai is a jungler who uses his brain. The spider had shown its position when it was clearing the jungle, so Clearlove concluded that the spider would not be in the bottom lane.

But he clearly didn't expect Condi to build Speed ​​Boots without any gear.

The appearance of this spider caught the factory manager completely off guard, and he ultimately suffered a crushing defeat in this 3v3 bot lane!

"WE pulled off a brilliant zero-for-one trade!" Remember's Taiwanese accent sounded particularly jarring at this moment: "Condi's counter-gank was absolutely brilliant!"

This kill may have been a good start, as WE seems to be on a roll!

At 6 minutes and 10 seconds, mouse's Ekko pushed the lane and came to the mid lane to look for an opportunity, but Xiye faced Ekko and Taliyah and instead of retreating, he advanced. Syndra pushed the ball back and stunned, and then ARA forcibly killed Taliyah and successfully escaped with Flash!

At 8 minutes, Condi started to get going again. With Boots of Speed, his Spider rushed to the mid lane. Xiye's Syndra pushed the ball from a distance, successfully stunning Scout at the last moment. Condi's Spider decisively flashed to follow up with his E, controlling the enemy and regenerating his mana. The two of them once again worked together to send Scout back to the fountain!

After eleven minutes, the factory manager, having failed to find an opportunity, had no choice but to lead Scout's Taliyah to dive the top lane tower!

Although they succeeded this time, they clearly didn't make a profit.

Seeing their top laner get caught, Xiye and Condi headed straight to the bottom lane. Although they didn't get a kill this time, they weren't worried at all. They pushed the lane, took the tower, and then took the dragon together.

"Although EDG got the kill, they clearly lost out big time! Because WE could have taken the first tower and the Infernal Dragon directly!"

With massive team competition and the added advantage of the Fire Dragon attribute, WE had an overwhelming advantage for a time!

"Didn't they send it already?" Linko shook his head and said, "It's clearly a bot lane meta, so why is EDG suddenly ganking top lane?"

banbazi laughed and said, "The main problem is that EDG doesn't really have any other options. Since the Spider doesn't show itself, Clearlove doesn't dare to gank the bot lane and can only try the top lane."

Chen Dongqing suddenly said, "What does this mean? It means that in this version, no matter how hard you try or how well you can hide, you can't gank top lane, because if you gank top lane, your bottom lane will collapse, and the cost is just too high."

Hearing this, Banbazi seemed to understand something, and then said, "What you said makes sense!"

Immediately afterwards, he opened his notebook and wrote down the sentence.

"If only all teams could remember this," Chen Dongqing joked. "I hope Riot Games will just set up a wall in the future, so that other positions can't come to the top lane for the first ten minutes, making it a fair 1v1 for both top laners. That would make me feel comfortable."

Uzi chimed in, "Of course I support that! I hope Riot will stipulate that junglers can only gank the bot lane, making it a 3v3 in the bot lane. That would make me feel much better."

At this point, Uzi and Chen Dongqing exchanged a glance and chuckled.

The third game ended in victory for WE, who went into the fourth game with a 2-1 lead.

Despite such a huge advantage, the third game still dragged on for 48 minutes before it ended.

So, when the fourth game started, it was already 4:30.

According to the original schedule, they were all preparing to take the court, but now, the fourth game has only just begun.

"Holy crap, when are we even going to start?" Xiangguo started wailing. "Can't WE do anything?! Should we just let EDG take them out already?"

To maintain their competitive form, they barely ate lunch. Won't they starve to death later?

"Indeed, dragging this out too long won't do, right?" Linko frowned. "If we're too hungry to walk, how are we supposed to play? How about I order some KFC to tide us over for now?"

"No rush." ​​Banbazi shook his head. "Let's see how the fourth game goes."

The fourth game was indeed a long and tedious affair, with both sides battling it out for another 45 minutes. In the end, Deft's late-game Kog'Maw dominated the game, unleashing a barrage of saliva in the final team fight, his terrifying damage output melting the entire WE team!

The score is now 2-2, and the match has entered a do-or-die situation!

The faces of the QG players darkened.

Their match hadn't even started yet, but they were already feeling hungry.

Linko sighed upon seeing this, and took out his phone to order takeout.

Kaifeng cuisine delivery is always fast. Not long after the fifth game started, Linko went out alone and returned quite a while later with a large bucket of takeout.

"I didn't order much, just grab a little bit each." Linko placed the family bucket on the table. "Don't eat too much, just fill your stomachs and don't let it affect your performance in the game."

"Alright!" Chen Dongqing stood up, stuffed an egg tart into his mouth, then took a chicken wing in his left hand and a hamburger in his right, before returning to his seat.

Linko asked, "Don't you want a Coke?"

Chen Dongqing glanced at it and said, "Forget about this one."

If KFC could replace Coca-Cola with Coca-Cola, that would be a game-changer, but unfortunately, they can't.

He shifted his gaze to the screen and saw a small team fight breaking out in the jungle. The team fight was initiated by Meiko's Thresh's crucial hook, so this time EDG won a great victory, achieving a 2-for-0 exchange.

"Sent."

Chen Dongqing shook his head as he sucked on a chicken wing bone.

As expected, just like in the previous game, WE and EDG fought to the fifth game, but ultimately fell short.

Defeating EDG in the summer of 16 would be extremely difficult; it's already quite an achievement for WE to have reached this level.

Without his time travel, WE would have staged a revenge drama in the spring of 17 and become the Spring Champions, but that's another story.

It's now past six o'clock in the evening.

At this point, the viewers in the live stream were completely numb.

[Does it really take five games to beat WE?]

[So, will QG still play their match today?]

Of course we'll play! Let's just hope it doesn't end up like this game.

If QG also plays all five games, wouldn't that mean it goes on until midnight?

Don't worry, it won't happen. QG matches are always fast.

Perhaps because the match had been going on for so long, the organizers deliberately sped up the cleanup process.

Not long after, staff came over to inform QG to get ready to go on stage.

"Alright, stop eating." Linko stopped Uzi, who was about to grab another chicken wing. "You're about to go on stage, hurry up and wipe your hands!"

"I'm really hungry, bro!" Uzi said, sounding a little aggrieved. "I didn't eat much just now."

Linko, unyielding and uncompromising, refused outright, "You're not allowed to eat it anyway. But if we win this first match, I'll reward you with a chicken wing!"

Upon hearing this, Uzbekistan suddenly became extremely eager for victory.

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the 2016 LPL Summer Playoffs!" The broadcasting staff has changed, and this time it is led by Guan Zeyuan, with Su Xiaoyan and Xiaosan on his left and right sides, respectively.

"The semi-final match between QG and Snake is about to begin! We can see both teams' players have now taken to the stage. Let's get ready, the match is about to start!"

Chen Dongqing joined the room, moved himself to the first position of the blue team, and then began typing in the room.

Both Crystal and Flandre from the Snake Team are entertaining and like to make a few comments in their rooms.

For example, this time, Gangzi started typing: "Hey guys, how about we talk this over and hurry up and start typing? I'm starving!"

Chen Dongqing immediately smiled and started typing: "Didn't you guys order takeout? We already ordered KFC and ate it, so we're not hungry at all now."

"Huh? Yare!" Gangzi was shocked. "You guys are cheating! That's not fair!"

"Hehe, it's nothing." Chen Dongqing continued typing: "The three games will be over in less than two hours, it won't be too late."

Gangzi retorted, "Indeed, you can start researching your opponents in the qualifying rounds in two hours."

At this point, the referee stepped in, stopping the pointless bickering between the two sides, and then asked if they were ready.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the competition finally began!

"Alright, the match has begun! We can see that QG, having the first pick, chose the blue side in the first game, while Snake naturally moved to the red side. And right now, we can see that both sides have banned Poppy and Fiora, moving on to the second round of bans!"

"In the second round of selection, QG didn't hesitate and directly shut down SofM's signature hero, Rek'Sai, while Snake shut down Viktor!"

Upon seeing this, Guan Daxiao couldn't help but say, "Judging from the ban strategy, the two sides' approaches haven't changed much from the regular season."

Su Xiaoyan chimed in, "After all, the playoff version hasn't changed much compared to the regular season. Although a new turret bounty system has been added, it only makes the already important bottom lane even more important. The team's strategy remains the same."

As they were talking, both sides had already decided on their third ban.

QG banned Karma again, exactly the same ban they used in the regular season.

Like other teams, QG currently focuses on the bottom lane, leaving the top lane to its own devices. Therefore, bottom lane priority is crucial, and a monster like Karma who can dominate lane priority cannot be allowed to roam freely.

On the other hand, Snake finally changed their strategy, obediently banning Crimson Reaper.

There was no way around it; the monstrous vampire from the regular season, who was completely uncontrollable, had left too deep an impression on them, and they really didn't want to experience that again.

"Alright, bans confirmed, let's move on to the champion selection phase!" Xiaosan shouted. "Let's see if QG makes any changes to their champion selection in this bot lane meta!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he selected to turn it on!

Malzahar!

"Should we pick Grasshopper first?" Colonel Guan said. "We should grab it first to prevent Snake's Grasshopper from swaying, right? Their Grasshopper can sway in three directions!"

On the other side, Snake was clearly surprised that QG would first pick Malzahar. Their draft plan was disrupted. After thinking for a long time, they finally decided to lock in Ashe and Braum.

The dual polar combination is the strongest in this version and has no natural counters, so it's definitely worth picking first.

"The Iceborn Braum is gone." Banbazi asked, "So what are you going to pick for bot lane? The same as before?"

"Okay, let's choose the set from the training match." Liu Qingsong nodded in agreement.

QG had faced off against the dual polar combination countless times, so they were well aware of it. They quickly activated their bottom lane combination on the second and third floors.

Little Cannon plus Tahm Kench.

Needless to say, Tristana's W ability allows her to jump in and not be afraid of Ashe's pull.

Tahm Kench, on the other hand, received buffs in the recent patch, with increased Q damage, a reduced E shield, and increased R range. As a protective hard support, Tahm Kench's priority is now no lower than Braum's.

Moreover, Tahm Kench is a pure stat monster; his damage will always exceed your expectations, making him easy to lane against melee supports like Braum.

Chen Dongqing listened to his teammates' coach without saying a word, just looking at the screen. Soon, Snake's third and fourth picks were also revealed.

First, choose a Cassiopeia to counter Malzahar, then choose Shen.

This is consistent with the logic of this version.

In an overall game where the top lane has become increasingly marginalized, the role of Shen's ultimate ability in providing support has become increasingly important, resulting in a significant increase in his pick rate during the playoffs.

"Come on, pick your champion." Banbazi laughed, "The enemy team has Shen. Neither side should come to the top lane this game, so just play however you want."

Listening to his teammates' promises, Chen Dongqing felt a strong sense of security, but as for which hero to choose, that was really hard to say.

He used to have a Heimerdinger against Shen, but that was just Heimerdinger using his Spirit Bond to destroy the tower in the top lane, trading the top tower for the bottom tower.

But that's obviously not going to work now. The reason Heimerdinger was a viable pick before was because the defensive mechanism of the turrets at that time was to block 30 points of basic attack damage from heroes. In other words, it was ineffective against Heimerdinger's turrets, so Heimerdinger could take down turrets quickly back then.

However, in version 6.9, which was the first version to buff the turrets, the turret mechanism was changed to provide 35% damage reduction to all units. In other words, Heimerdinger can no longer destroy turrets.

If you can bind the spirit in the top lane, it's all for naught if the enemy bottom lane can't dismantle it quickly enough.

"Give me Captain," Chen Dongqing said. "Captain is more useful than Shen in the late game, and I also have a powerful support ability."

"OK." Banbazi nodded. "If we're going for top lane Gangplank, then the jungler should focus on building tanky champions and initiating team fights. How about Hecarim?"

"Sure," Xiangguo readily agreed, having practiced this hero a lot lately.

"Alright, Snake has locked in another Gragas as their last pick!" Colonel Guan shouted, looking at the screen. "The lineups for both sides are finalized!"

Blue side QG: Top lane Captain, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Malzahar, Bot lane Tristana and Tahm Kench.

Red team Snake: Top lane Shen, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Cassiopeia, Bot lane Ashe and Braum.

"Top lane Captain vs. Shen?" Umbrella Emperor pondered. "This isn't really a true counter-pairing matchup! Neither side should be able to gain any real advantage."

Su Xiaoyan chimed in, "But for the captain, surviving the laning phase is practically a victory, right? QG is clearly planning to focus on the bottom half of the map this game, so picking a captain for the top lane isn't a problem!"

"Indeed!" Colonel Guan nodded. "It seems even QG has to adapt to the version changes! The key to this match will be the clash between the two sides in the bottom lane!"

The director then switched the camera to both players.

Crystal likes to lean his head forward when playing games, so his face, which looks like a demon, is right in front of the camera, making him look quite intimidating.

Uz, on the other hand, was much calmer. He was lying in a chair chewing gum and wiping his hands with a towel, getting himself into top form.

Chen Dongqing took a deep breath as usual, and then said, "Come on, brothers! This game is all up to you. I'll just stay in the top lane, throw out my ultimate, and wait to get carried. Is that okay?"

Uzi grinned, "Of course there's no problem. You don't trust me to handle things, do you?"

The game has now entered the loading phase.

Taking advantage of this lull, the director quickly zoomed in and brought up a webpage.

This shows the level of support the audience has for both teams.

However, this support figure shocked the entire audience!

"Wow! This level of support is incredible!" Even Colonel Guan couldn't help but be surprised.

QG—98%!

Snake—2%!

With the Spring Championship, MSI, a perfect record in the regular season, and handsome players on the team, QG's popularity has reached an extremely terrifying level. In comparison, Snake seems insignificant.

The QG fans in the audience were also very excited to see this, and spontaneously began to shout "QG, keep going!" The momentum was so great that it was deafening!

"It's fortunate that the Snake players couldn't see this," Xiaosan couldn't help but laugh. "Otherwise, this could have been a huge blow."

At this point, the game screen cuts to a view showing both teams' heroes having rushed into the jungle and taken their positions.

Colonel Guan immediately shouted, "Alright, the first match has begun! Let's see the opening setups of both sides!"

QG maintained their defensive positioning, with Chen Dongqing standing at the entrance to the top lane jungle.

In this version, no one will choose to invade the upper half of the map at the start, so Chen Dongqing is not in a hurry and the camera switches around.

"QG didn't intend to invade, which is in line with their style. After all, their laning skills are top-notch, and an unstable team fight like the level 1 team fight would actually negatively impact their team fight performance."

Colonel Guan continued to speak eloquently from the commentary booth, as if reciting a familiar story. However, at that moment, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

Snake didn't seem to have any intention of peacefully starting their jungle. Gragas, Ashe, and Braum in the bottom lane huddled together in the bushes in the middle of the river. More than a minute had passed, and they still showed no sign of leaving.

"Hey! Snake seems to have some ideas!" Colonel Guan shouted. "They want to invade and take over the jungle!"

The Ashe-Braum combo is quite strong in level 1 team fights, and when paired with a Gragas who can learn E, they become a real threat!

Fortunately, Liu Qingsong placed a defensive ward in the jungle when he left, so the three invaders were spotted by the ward immediately, and QG's minimap was filled with signals!

When Xiangguo, who was waiting to start his jungle adventure in the upper half of the map, saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.

Is it again?

With such a well-timed invasion, he couldn't defend in time and had no choice but to surrender the jungle.

But this is problematic.

In the past, it wouldn't have mattered if Xiangguo had given up the jungle, since he was the one who played in the top half of the jungle, so switching jungle camps wouldn't have been a problem. In fact, it would have been more convenient for him to go to the top lane.

But now it's different. After switching junglers, he will be locked in the top half of the map. But in the top half, there's a Captain and a Malzahar. Before level six, they only have one slow effect together. So how can he do anything?

"It's alright, it's not a big problem," Chen Dongqing reassured him. "At worst, we just won't play the starvation strategy, we'll just farm all six jungle camps normally. Jian Zihao just needs to be careful in the bottom lane."

"Okay." Xiangguo nodded; that was the only option.

Soon, the minion wave appeared.

Chen Dongqing casually chopped down the blue buff a few times, and then quickly logged back in.

There's not much to say about the Captain vs. Shen matchup. As soon as Chen Dongqing comes online, he immediately places barrels and then holds the Fire Blade in his hand. Shen has no way to deal with that.

Because of the jungle swap, Flandre, who didn't have a jungler, was prepared for Xiangguo's gank on top lane at the start, so he played very steadily and let the lane go from the beginning.

Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry. He hadn't even bought the Corruption Potion yet, so he opted to start with a Sapphire Crystal and a potion, and then just focus on farming.

When both sides' melee minions were low on health, Chen Dongqing seized the opportunity when Shen came up to finish them off, and immediately used two barrels to kill the minions at the same time.

Flandre seemed to have been prepared, using a Q to pull the enemy in and summon a shield to block the damage, before finishing off the three melee minions.

Chen Dongqing then took the opportunity to strike with his fire blade, gaining a slight advantage in health.

From then on, he could never touch Shen again.

Because the double barrel also hit the minions, the minion wave started to push forward. Flandre immediately went into a tanking state, and with the help of Doran's Shield, he managed to almost restore his health to full.

Chen Dongqing has a mild temper and will develop slowly.

It wasn't until more than seven minutes after the first wave of players returned to base that Chen Dongqing finally got his Lightbringer and Mining Knife into play, and the laning phase finally became more comfortable.

With the help of Sheen, the Captain's Q finally dealt damage to Shen, and Chen Dongqing took the opportunity to start pushing the lane and putting pressure on him.

But before he could even begin to suppress it, unexpected events soon began to occur.

Xiangguo finally started his first wave of attack, with his Centaur activating Sprint and charging straight towards the bottom lane!

The laners started simultaneously, and Chen Dongqing's Gangplank instantly used his ultimate from a distance, directly slowing down Crystal's Ashe!

"Is QG going to make a move on the bottom lane? They've used so many skills first; they're definitely going to win this wave!"

Amidst Guan Daxiao's roar, Xiangguo's team had already used a powerful move to rush behind Crystal and kicked him back!

But just then, Snake reinforcements arrived!

SofM's Gragas was still in the bottom jungle at that moment, so at that instant, Flandre in the top lane used his ultimate, and Tank in the mid lane also used his Teleport!

Seeing this situation, Doinb in the mid lane couldn't hold back any longer and teleported at the same time!

Two teleports and Shen's ultimate made the bottom lane incredibly chaotic, as if the gods had descended!

Chen Dongqing frowned as he looked at the bottom lane. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided not to teleport and instead focus on pushing the lane, trying to make Shen lose as many waves as possible.

This time, his captain teleported to the bottom lane, but he couldn't really do anything.

The bottom lane unfolded in a 4v4 format.

Tristana's burst damage is indeed fierce, but Braum's protective ability is also indeed strong. With the security door in front, Uzi's damage just couldn't hit Ashe!

With no other option, Uzi could only focus all his basic attacks on Braum, while Liu Qingsong's Tahm Kench kept licking Braum with his tongue, continuously dealing high slows!

Just then, Snake's Shen and Cassiopeia landed one after the other. Both of them were level six. After landing, Cassiopeia immediately used her ultimate to petrify the Tristana and Tahm Kench in front of her. Then she turned around and placed a W at Hecarim's feet. The next second, Shen's taunt followed, also targeting Hecarim!

"Snkae's counterattack is here too; they want to take down the Centaur first! Can they succeed?"

Of course you can't kill it!

Seeing that Xiangguo was already low on health, Liu Qingsong's Tahm Kench decisively used Cleanse followed by Petrify, then Flash forward and used W to devour Rengar, using both summoner spells to save his teammate!

At that moment, Doinb's Malzahar landed. He quickly assessed the situation and decisively shouted, "Kill Braum!"

The Braum security door is now closed, and Braum, who has been taking damage the whole time, is now down to half health!

Doinb immediately flashed forward and used his ultimate to pin down Braum!

Uzi's damage output was closely followed by control, and he killed Braum with two shots. Both sides had put in a lot of effort, but finally they got the first kill!

"First blood!"

Xiaosan immediately shouted, "This time, Xiaogou got the first blood! So what's next? Is QG going to run away!?"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Uzi shouted over the intercom. "The Gragas is here!"

After playing in the bottom lane for so long, SofM, who was previously in the jungle, has now come to support. Snake now has all five members together, and QG obviously doesn't dare to stay any longer.

Uzi used his W to jump and retreat. In this version, Tahm Kench can still gain speed by eating teammates, so Liu Qingsong was also running very fast!

Doinb's situation wasn't so comfortable. He had flashed forward to use his ultimate, putting him quite deep into the enemy territory. Moreover, Snake had Ashe's continuous slow effect, making it impossible for them to create distance!

Ultimately, Ashe's continued slowing effect allowed SofM's Gragas to catch up, and Gragas stunned Malzahar with a belly full of stun. With his teammates following up, Doinb was instantly killed.

"Hmm, both sides traded one for one!" Colonel Guan exclaimed loudly. "Looking at it this way, QG actually suffered a slight loss in this exchange, because Snake was able to seize the opportunity to control the Water Dragon!"

The camera then pans to the top lane, where Chen Dongqing is seen pushing a wave of minions into the tower.

Although Flandre has a TP scroll, he can't teleport directly up there; he has to go back to town first to replenish his equipment.

That's when Chen Dongqing dismantled the tower.

Chen Dongqing's gaze went straight to the defensive tower. He first placed a gunpowder barrel at his feet, then went up and used his fire blade and Radiant Light to slash at the defensive tower. After waiting for the Radiant Light to cool down, he placed a second gunpowder barrel and slashed at the Radiant Light again!

In that instant, Chen Dongqing immediately used his Q skill on the gunpowder barrel. The moment the first gunpowder barrel exploded and refreshed the fire blade, he slashed the turret with the fire blade!

Immediately afterwards, the second gunpowder barrel exploded, and the fire blade was refreshed once again. Chen Dongqing ate an orange to refresh the Radiant Light, and then unleashed another Radiant Light and a fire blade!

The secret technique: Three Radiant Lights and Three Blazing Fires!

The damage reduction of the turret is ineffective against the true damage of the Fire Blade. Although it's only been a little over seven minutes, Chen Dongqing's actions alone have taken away half of the top turret's health!

"That was pretty good." Colonel Guan chuckled upon seeing this. "Three Fireballs to take down the tower, right? And every Lightning Bolt hit the tower. It seems Tree's Captain skill is quite high! Pretty smooth!"

At this moment, the viewers in the live chat were completely bewildered by what he said.

[Classic Commentary on Professional Players]

[If Tree Bro's playback is bad, then yours is smooth, right? What nonsense are you spouting?]

Hahaha, this is hilarious!

This is a classic case of "newbies use guns, veterans use barrels, and experts use knives."

[And one more thing: idiot showing off oranges]

But Colonel Guan, of course, couldn't see any of this. He was still analyzing the situation on the field with the two people next to him: "Looking at it this way, QG didn't lose much, after all, the top laner got a comfortable period of development, and he also got an assist from the bottom lane!"

Looking at the hero icons on the left, Su Xiaoyan said, "But Doinb and Liu Qingsong both used Flash, and Malzahar and Tahm Kench are both heroes without mobility skills. They need to be careful for the next while to avoid becoming targets for Snake's counterattack!"

At the same time, everyone was chatting in the QG voice channel.

Neither mid nor bot lane had Flash, so theoretically SofM could gank either lane, but Xiangguo thought about it and decided to protect the bot lane, because the bot lane was more important right now.

"Inb, be careful, farm under the tower a bit," Xiangguo said. "Shall I go counter-gank bot lane later?"

Doinb nodded to indicate that he understood.

But at that moment, Chen Dongqing spoke up: "I suggest you counter-gank the mid lane this time."

As he spoke, he pinged his own F4 camp and added, "SofM on the other side likes to gank mid from this spot when he plays Gragas. He did it this way last time we played together."

At this point, both of QG's mid and jungle players had something to recall.

Indeed, during the regular season, SofM once used his ultimate ability in the jungle's F4 camp to kill Doinb in the mid lane when the team was at a disadvantage, thus turning the tide of the game.

"That makes sense." Xiangguo simply changed his route and chose to counter-gank the mid lane.

Interestingly, they actually managed to catch someone.

Barrel, swaying with his large belly, arrived at the F4 camp, clearly intending to repeat his old tricks.

Xiangguo, of course, didn't give them a chance. He chased after them and spun around, while Doinb's Malzahar quickly came to their aid, forcing SofM to use his ultimate to escape before they finally gave up.

But just when QG's mid and jungle players thought they had defused an offensive, trouble struck in the bottom lane.

The time is now a little over eight minutes, which is the point when both sides' bottom lanes reach level six.

Seizing the opportunity at level six, Snake Braum initiated with a Q-flash, first slowing down Liu Qingsong's Tahm Kench, and then applying his passive with a basic attack!

Hands-on!

Knowing that he was at a disadvantage, Uzi used his ultimate to repel Braum, while Liu Qingsong began casting his ultimate, hoping to escape with it.

But the next instant, the [Magic Crystal Arrow] shot over, directly interrupting Tahm Kench's ultimate!

There's not much that can be done now. After the ultimate's stun, Braum's passive stuns again. This prolonged control is enough to force Braum to retreat.

The strength of the bipolar combination lies in the fact that once it's attached, there's absolutely no escape.

"We can't escape, let's fight back!" Liu Qingsong had no choice but to turn around and go head-to-head with Braum. Uzi's Tristana also immediately applied Explosive Spark and started firing wildly!

Unfortunately, Snake initiated the fight, giving them a health advantage. Ultimately, the 2v2 in the bottom lane ended with Liu Qingsong's death.

"Unexpectedly, Snake didn't create any opportunities in the mid lane, but they did in the bot lane!" Guan Daxiao exclaimed in surprise. "That's very comfortable for Snake. SofM's Gragas has recovered some health from farming and is already moving towards the bot lane. They want to push the bot tower! Xiangguo is also heading down to help defend!"

Fortunately, Xiangguo's team arrived in time, and Uzi was in good condition, so there were no major problems in this round.

Regardless, Snake's bot lane advantage has been initially established.

"Well, this wave still caused some minor damage," Guan Daxiao couldn't help but comment. "Snake's attack was just too fast! There are still three minutes until QG's Flash is ready again, they could even seize another opportunity!"

At this time, the QG voice channel was also discussing this situation.

"My god, I didn't expect the opponent to use both summoner spells directly," Liu Qingsong shook his head, "Braum didn't have Flash or Ignite."

"It's alright, it's alright," Uzi said. "We didn't lose a tower this time, and the enemy only managed to get one kill with both summoner spells. It's nothing."

Having played many matches, Uzi understands that dying once or twice is insignificant and doesn't affect the overall situation.

"If the enemy doesn't have Flash, I'll gank bot lane again later," Xiangguo said. "Gragas just used his ultimate, so mine will definitely be ready before his. How about I take advantage of that timing?"

"Sure." Uzi nodded. "Neither side has a teleport in the mid lane, so we should be able to win this wave."

Chen Dongqing then added, "Be careful with Shen's ultimate, but I have Teleport, so I can come too."

OK.

With a simple plan set, Xiangguo waited for his ultimate skill to be ready and observed the bottom lane. He saw that the bottom lane minion wave was being pushed forward, so he wasn't in a hurry. He went back to farm two more jungle camps, and when the minion wave was pushed back, he immediately accelerated and charged in!

"Here it comes!" Colonel Guan's eyes widened: "Xiangguo is ganking the bottom lane again! But! This time, SofM is counter-ganking!"

QG had anticipated SofM's counter-gank, so they remained calm and continued with their team fight plan as before!

Tahm Kench's ultimate has only a 10-second cooldown after being interrupted, so Tahm Kench has his ultimate ready now. Liu Qingsong was incredibly aggressive this time, using Tahm Kench's ultimate to teleport directly to the face of the enemy bot lane duo!

Uzi immediately jumped in, and Chen Dongqing unleashed his ultimate, setting off a chaotic battle!

The three of them obviously targeted Ashe first, but as Braum jumped over with the security door in his hand, Uzi roared and sparks from an explosion hit Gragas. The three of them then switched their attack to Gragas, who had already used his E skill!

The burst damage of the little cannon is still beyond doubt. As the three of them increased their output, the health of the barrel dropped rapidly!

Seeing this, Flandre, who was laning in the top lane, finally couldn't sit still. Without hesitation, he used his ultimate [Secret Art! Merciful Soul Fall] to deliver the attack!

On the other side, Chen Dongqing's first thought was to go down and provide support.

But at that moment, Chen Dongqing glanced at Shen's position and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because Flandre was clearly unaware that QG was about to make a move, he had no idea about using Teleport, so Shen's position was not far from Chen Dongqing's Gangplank.

Moreover, Chen Dongqing usually needs to keep his defensive barrels constantly in the laning phase, so there's a gunpowder barrel right at the captain's feet. If Chen Dongqing wants to, he can hit Shen directly with a double barrel combo.

Clearly, Flandre felt he could handle the double barrel attack, so his plan was to take the damage from one barrel and teleport down immediately.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Dongqing had calculated everything.

"More gunpowder!"

The second powder keg was set out, and this one was placed directly at Shen's feet.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dongqing didn't hesitate. He first used his Q skill on the gunpowder barrel at his feet, and then flashed forward!

The first gunpowder barrel detonated, spawning the Fire Blade. The Captain flashed right in front of Shen and unleashed a Fire Blade strike!

Boom! Boom!

Gunpowder barrels exploded one after another, blasting Shen's health bar down by one bar. At the same time, the fire blade refreshed again, and the captain raised his scimitar and slashed down hard once more!

The instant after delivering the second fire blade strike, Shen finished channeling his ultimate and vanished.

Shen's ultimate teleport has a channeling time of only three seconds, so Chen Dongqing flashed forward directly, completing this Q-flash combo with two barrels and two fireballs!

Chen Dongqing grinned and quickly moved the camera to the bottom lane.

At this moment, the battle is on the bottom lane.

Shen's appearance startled everyone.

"Huh?" Colonel Guan was dumbfounded. "Why is Shen only at one-third health after teleporting?!"

The captain's Q-Flash-Double Fire combo dealt over 800 damage, and since Shen's health bar was already low, this combo left him with very little health!

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing knew that he no longer needed TP.

The appearance of Shen left the QG team somewhat bewildered.

But Uzi reacted quickly. Facing Shen's taunt, he first used Flash to dodge, and then used a basic attack to detonate the explosive sparks, completely crippling Gragas!

Tristana's W refreshed, and Uzi jumped in again, landing a basic attack to take down Gragas first!

Immediately afterward, Uzbekistan yelled, "Kill the kidneys!"

With a shout, the little cannon jumped up again and stomped on Shen's face. Xiangguo was also a smart man. Hecarim, with full stacks of Q, chased Shen and spun around wildly, dealing explosive damage!

With only a third of his health remaining, Shen was truly vulnerable and was easily taken down by three members of QG!

A three-on-two situation has emerged on the field!

Uzi, who had been constantly targeted, was almost out of health, but he was not afraid. The little cannon used its last 100 mana to jump again and stomp on Ashe's face!

He still wanted to kill!

Crystal was a little numb at the sight, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that Tristana didn't have much health left, but he also knew that Tahm Kench hadn't used his buffs yet!

With no other option, Crystal had to retreat, but how could he escape the pursuit of the men?

In the end, the three QG players chased all the way into the tower. Xiangguo used his Q to kill Ashe, and then Liu Qingsong fed the low-health Uzi to him, and the three of them escaped!

Three against four, zero for three!

Here is a long chapter of ten thousand words.

That's all for now, see you tomorrow, brothers!
