League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 177 Reverse R Flash! Kill the Game!

"Cassiopeia in the top lane? That's rare!" Guan Daxiao analyzed. "But I have to say, it's definitely an excellent counter to Poppy! In this meta where neither side ganks top, Cassiopeia can farm very comfortably in the top lane!"

"Besides that, QG's mid-laner Taliyah and bot-lane double Glacial are both combinations that can easily secure lane priority. This means that Mlxg has a huge stage to shine in this game!"

At this moment, the two coaches shook hands in the center of the stage, their gazes differing.

Banbazi was clearly very pleased with himself, after all, he believed that the draft picks in this game were very successful and there was absolutely no reason for him to lose.

On the other side, Zhu Kai didn't have a good look on his face and walked backstage with a dark expression.

His draft picks aren't particularly strong; he just follows the rules step by step.

For him, the drafting and banning strategy against QG is extremely difficult!

It's simply impossible!

You banned Vladimir, you banned Gangplank, and then you picked Poppy first, but the other person countered by pulling out a Cassiopeia you'd never seen before.

It's unplayable!

During the loading process, the director cut to a short transition, this time showing Doinb's interview.

The director asked what kind of performance you wanted to deliver in the upcoming playoffs.

If it were someone else, they might say things like, "I want to be a god, dominate, or play my best."

However, Doinb's thought process was obviously different. He looked at the camera with a smile and said, "I'm just a 'carry' in the team. My job is to stay invisible with the enemy mid laner. The top and bottom lanes will carry me to victory."

Upon seeing this, the audience burst into laughter, and the live chat was filled with "6" comments.

It's not easy to say something like that in public.

But of course, Doinb is definitely not a slacker in QG.

After the interview ended, the camera switched back to show that both players had left the fountain!

"We can see that the start of the game was relatively peaceful. Snake did not choose to invade the game as they did in the previous game because QG had the double polar combination this time, so the initiative was in QG's hands."

Taking advantage of the minute or so before the minion waves went online, the director switched to show the talent choices of both sides.

"Poppy opted for the standard Grasp of the Undying, while on the other side, Treant Protector didn't choose the usual Deathfire Touch or Lightning Bolt, but instead picked the very distinctive Wind Rider! It seems Treant Protector's Medusa is quite a fierce type!"

As the two commentators were talking, the minions came online, and the director switched the camera to the top lane to check the laning situation.

At the start of the game, Chen Dongqing was not in a hurry to suppress the opponent. The Cassiopeia's basic attacks were weak and ineffective, and her E skill had very low damage when she was not poisoned, and it also had a high mana cost.

If you forcefully cross the minion wave to chase Poppy with your E, Poppy won't even flinch. The enemy would be happy if you used up all your mana with your E at level 1 so they can lane against you.

So he wasn't flustered at the start, playing peacefully and last-hitting minions. When the minions were low on health, he used EAE to finish off the three minions.

On the other side, Flandre took advantage of this opportunity to first kill a melee minion with his passive shield, then boldly moved forward with the rebounding shield, and used his Q skill to finish off the remaining two melee minions.

Chen Dongqing watched this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he still didn't make a move.

Don't worry, you'll get your comeuppance soon.

Soon the second wave of minions arrived. Chen Dongqing observed the minions' health and first took down a few low-health ranged minions. Then, the second wave of melee minions also arrived with low health.

At this moment, Chen Dongqing immediately pressed forward!

At that moment, the melee soldier was killed, and in order to ensure that the pursuit distance was sufficient, Chen Dongqing did not even raise his hand to finish off the soldier!

A faint light emanated from the snake woman, elevating her to level two!

Chen Dongqing swiftly pressed Ctrl+Q to learn the skill, and then unleashed a Q [Plague Explosion]!

A flash of green light appeared near Poppy's rear end, at a very close distance, as if Poppy would step out of the skill's range in the next step.

Seeing this, Flandre knew that his positioning was meaningless; whether the Q hit or not was somewhat a matter of luck.

But the next instant, the green light exploded, directly affecting Poppy's heel.

草.

Saint Gun Bro felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Dongqing's spirits lifted at this moment. In fact, he also felt that this Q might not be a sure thing, so he was just trying it out. But since he had won, he certainly couldn't let it go!

With the extra movement speed from her Q skill, Cassiopeia quickly chased after him, first biting him with her venomous fangs, then taking another step forward, followed by a basic attack, then another venomous fang, and then another smooth basic attack!

Poppy's poison had disappeared, but he had still lost half his health in one combo from Cassiopeia!

Wind Rider was triggered, and Chen Dongqing continued the pursuit, unleashing another Q [Plague Explosion]!

With the distance between them so close, Chen Dongqing's chances of success actually increased significantly.

He knew that Flandre knew his Q skill was ready, and he also knew that Flandre would definitely dodge the Q, so this time Chen Dongqing placed the Q skill directly behind Poppy!

At exactly the same time, Flandre turned around and twisted his Q.

This twist, however, led him right into the heart of the plague.

Grass!

Saint Gun Bro was completely numb when he saw the Cassiopeia's AEEA combo coming at him again!

Interweaving two E skills between basic attacks creates the most comfortable rhythm, preventing any lag in basic attacks. Chen Dongqing also incorporates movement maneuvers between each attack segment, ensuring that Poppy's health drops rapidly while maintaining distance!

"Eh?! Eh?! Eh?!" The commentator, Colonel Guan, exclaimed in shock, "No way?"

Cassiopeia can unleash two full QE combos at level two, and that damage is enough to kill someone!

Thankfully, Poppy is tough and resilient, and managed to get into the tower with about a hundred health points left!

"Holy Gun Bro was chased down to near-death!" Colonel Guan shouted. "But Tree Bro's mana is also running low! He only has enough mana for one Q!"

[Plague Explosion]!

Chen Dongqing used the same trick again; this time, he still placed Q behind Bobby's butt.

Still defiant, Flandre turned around and used his Q ability, only to send himself back to the skill center.

Grass! !

Saint Gun feels like he's a fool.

Fortunately, he was a top professional player, and his superhuman reflexes gave him a chance to repent.

Realizing he couldn't dodge the Q, Flandre decisively flashed away, barely escaping with his life.

"Poppy didn't flash, and she should be recalling soon, and she doesn't have TP either." Chen Dongqing calmly pinged Poppy's flash, causing his teammates to collectively wonder.

Is it going to flash so soon?

Doinb quickly raised his hand and recorded Poppy's skills.

"07:35top, 07:45toptp"

"Flash! That's impressive." Xiaosan laughed when she saw this. "Tree Bro's three Qs were so accurate! He forced Poppy to flash at level two! That's a bit over the top!"

Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, "This is indeed too exaggerated."

At this moment, Xiangguo asked in the voice chat, "Should I gank top lane later?"

"There's no need for that," Chen Dongqing said. "Just play normally. The situation in the bot lane is important. Whether or not Poppy is killed in the top lane doesn't matter; it won't affect the overall situation at all."

"That's true." Xiangguo nodded.

With the tower so tanky now, even if you kill Poppy once, you'll only take away a small portion of her health. Aside from the kill, there's no other benefit, so it's really not profitable.

In comparison, the elemental dragon and the squishy first tower in the bottom lane are much more appealing.

Seeing this, Xiangguo simply continued to slowly cook his way down the hot pot.

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, continued to engage in the online battle.

After this wave, he was completely out of mana, but instead of returning to base, he continued laning, slowly last-hitting minions with auto-attacks.

Theoretically speaking, if Cassiopeia is laning against Poppy and isn't aiming for a kill, she doesn't actually need mana.

Or you could say you only need fifty mana to cast E.

Chen Dongqing watched Poppy teleport online, but he wasn't in a hurry at all. He just leisurely used basic attacks and E to finish off the enemy.

On the other side, Poppy obviously couldn't do anything about Cassiopeia either. As a melee champion, she couldn't exactly cross the minion wave to pressure the ranged champion, could she?

Fortunately, after Cassiopeia ran out of mana, Flandre was able to get a lot of room to farm, and the two top laners continued to develop peacefully.

The camera pans to the bottom half of the map, where the two junglers are also clashing in the bottom lane. The two engage in a fierce battle over the river crab, and SofM's Gragas ultimately secures the kill with a burst of damage from his Q-Smite.

The two junglers essentially put each other in a show of force, knowing that the other was also in the bottom half of the map, so neither of them made a move.

The six-minute mark arrived quickly.

The camera then cuts to the top lane, where Cassiopeia still has the same Doran's Ring and two Health Potions as before, with no changes to her equipment.

Interestingly, after such a long laning period, Cassiopeia's mana bar actually recovered by more than half.

This is enough to prove how easily Chen Dongqing played in the laning phase.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the gold coins in his hand, then quickly used up the mana he had accumulated over three minutes, pushed the minion wave into the tower, and returned to base to replenish his equipment.

With 1772 gold coins in his hand, Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction and bought the Goddess's Tears and the Lost Chapter.

The missing chapters in this version are only worth 900, have 25 spell power, 300 mana, and also have a mana regeneration effect on level up. The difference from later versions is that they do not have cooldown reduction.

In this version, the typical build for Cassiopeia is to equip a Tear of the Goddess, and then choose between Morellonomicon and Rod of Ages. Chen Dongqing chose the former in this game because Lost Chapter is one of the materials needed to craft Morellonomicon.

Compared to the slow development of the Rod of Ages, Chen Dongqing needs the aggressiveness of Morellonomicon more in this game.

After buying the equipment, he glanced at Poppy, who was still farming minions online, and his expression changed.

The reason for the previous peaceful development was that Cassiopeia lacked mana in the early game and had no ability to kill.

But now that you have two mana regeneration items, who will still farm with you?

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing narrowed his eyes slightly, already planning his solo kill.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to rush to the lane first, but this time he didn't go to the lane. Instead, he went through the jungle and came up from the river.

Standing in the riverbed, Chen Dongqing placed a ward in the grass to confirm that there was no vision in the grass, then glanced at the time.

07:07

Then I glanced at Doinb's skill cooldowns, which were spamming the screen like crazy.

"07:35top, 07:45toptp"

The former refers to the blink time, and the latter to the teleport time. In this version, teleport and blink have the same cooldown, both being 300 seconds.

In other words, Poppy has less than half a minute left in the window before she can use Flash?

Chen Dongqing's heart raced slightly; he knew this was an opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.

"Where is the enemy jungler?" he asked in the voice chat.

"His blue buff is about to respawn. He should be waiting for it to spawn in the top half of the map. Do you want to make a move? I'm also in the top lane and can provide support," Xiangguo quickly replied.

Is it in the upper half of the bracket?

Chen Dongqing decisively said, "Then you'd better hurry up and wait on the road, I'm about to make my move."

"OK, it's here."

At this moment, the time had reached 7 minutes and 20 seconds, and there were only 15 seconds left before Poppy's Flash was ready again. Chen Dongqing knew that time was of the essence, and the Cassiopeia rushed out of the bushes with great momentum!

Saint Gun Bro knew this Cassiopeia was after him, so he activated W to speed up and ran!

Chen Dongqing quickly gave chase, and the Snake Woman, standing to the side, raised her right hand and unleashed [Plague Explosion] once more!

Saint Gun Bro learned his lesson this time. He knew that the enemy Cassiopeia liked to make predictions, and this time he predicted Cassiopeia's prediction and didn't move at all!

But this time, Chen Dongqing anticipated Holy Gun's prediction of his prediction, so he didn't predict it at all.

The plague exploded in front of Poppy, hitting her squarely once again!

Grass! ! !

Saint Gun Bro is numb, what floor are you on?

After landing Q, Cassiopeia gains another speed boost, and Chen Dongqing is still using a Q-max playstyle. Now, the speed boost from level 3 Q is even more noticeable, making her speed no slower than Poppy with W active!

Chen Dongqing dashed forward quickly, first unleashing a Venom Fang, then swiftly casting a W at Poppy's feet to slow her down!

Then, Venomous Fang launched a series of attacks!

At this point, Chen Dongqing wouldn't play any AE rhythm games with you; he'd just chase you down with his venomous fangs and bite relentlessly!

After the Wind Rider was triggered, the Cassiopeia ran even faster. Flandre glanced at his Flash cooldown and saw that he had only ten seconds left.

He could only activate his ultimate ability and cast it. Poppy swung her hammer while running away, then suddenly turned around and smashed it down!

But Chen Dongqing was now determined to kill, and with lightning speed, the snake woman flashed golden light and directly dodged Poppy's ultimate move! Immediately afterward, the snake woman leaned forward, her eyes shooting out cone-shaped green light as she unleashed [Petrifying Gaze]!

Although Flandre twisted his body back after using his ultimate, Cassiopeia's ultimate only applied a slowing effect.

But that's enough.

Taking advantage of the slowdown, Chen Dongqing landed another precise Q, and continued to fire Snake Fang!

"Holy Gun's Flash was almost enough! Looks like he can't escape!"

Guan Daxiao's slightly anxious voice rang out throughout the arena, "SofM's Gragas is here to provide support! It's a level 6 Gragas; he's trying to save his teammates, but Xiangguo has arrived too!"

SofM actually provided support very quickly, because he was already near the top lane and rushed over as soon as he saw the top lane being attacked.

However, Xiangguo arrived even faster because his team knew in advance that they were going to make a move on the top lane, so they moved up there early.

Just as Gragas arrived behind Cassiopeia, a Centaur rushed out from the side and kicked Gragas, forcibly blocking his support route!

Seeing that the two junglers were already locked in combat behind him, Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction.

This kill is practically guaranteed!

Poppy, having taken the full brunt of Cassiopeia's skills, was now low on health, and the poison effect on her had worn off.

Saint Gunner frantically swayed left and right once again, trying to dodge his Q skill.

But this time, Chen Dongqing isn't going to compete with you on the number of floors.

With such low health, what's the point of me using Q?

Chen Dongqing chased after her for two steps, then fired a basic attack followed by two E attacks, and then another basic attack, easily taking down Poppy!

"First blood!"

Even until her death, Poppy's Flash was still two seconds too late.

"First Blood!" Along with the cheers, the three commentators exclaimed in surprise, "Under Xiangguo's cover, Shuge secured a very smooth solo kill!"

"That Flash was timed perfectly!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. "I've been watching Poppy's Flash the whole time, and it was just a few seconds away! Level two Flash, level six solo kill, Tree Bro's tempo was amazing!"

"Damn, this guy's Q skill is ridiculously accurate!" Flandre couldn't help but lean back in his gaming chair. "Guess how many Qs I've dodged so far?"

"You can't just randomly twist Cassiopeia's Q, right?" Crystal asked, somewhat puzzled. "Twisting it once or twice shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Heh, I didn't manage to dodge a single one. The only one I managed to dodge was with a dash."

"."

"Nice, nice!" Chen Dongqing praised in the voice chat, "Liu Shiyu's move was crucial!"

If Xiangguo hadn't stopped the barrel, he would have been blown away by the barrel's ultimate attack.

If they can't kill him in this wave, then he's just wasting his Flash, and the one who suffers a huge loss is the one who gets killed.

"Not bad, not bad!" Xiangguo nodded in satisfaction. "Should we push this line? Or do you want to control it?"

Poppy pushed the minion wave, so either option is fine.

"Push him," Chen Dongqing replied. "His TP will be ready again after he revives, so force him to use his TP as well."

OK.

As he spoke, Xiangguo helped to cripple the entire wave of minions, and Chen Dongqing collected them all one by one.

After the minion wave pushed to the tower, Poppy respawned, and Flandre had no choice but to teleport to farm the wave again, trying his best not to fall too far behind in development.

Upon logging back in, seeing that the Cassiopeia was still online, her fangs gleaming, Flandre couldn't help but sigh again.

This lane is impossible to win against.

Even though he bought a Ghostblade after returning to base, and his recovery was very strong after pairing it with Doran's Shield, he still didn't seem like someone who could lane against Cassiopeia.

SofM, who was on the same team, was also a little worried.

The top laner's teleport, which had just been ready, is gone again, but the enemy Cassiopeia hasn't used her teleport yet.

How are you going to let him arrest people?

If the Cassiopeia teleports in to support them, the game is doomed.

For a time, SofM played cautiously and couldn't find any good ganking opportunities.

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan was already itching to make a move.

For Uzi, there are three things he can't stand most when playing a game: first, losing; second, being killed in lane; and third, being outfarmed in CS.

In the previous game, Snake killed Liu Qingsong with a double Glacial and a Flash, something Uzi has always remembered, and of course he wants to find a chance to get revenge!

"Go up and pressure them!" Uzi played extremely aggressively in the laning phase, constantly poking and harassing Sivir by exploiting the attack range difference between Ashe and Sivir, while also saying, "Force Sivir's shield out, then I'll make my move!"

Liu Qingsong didn't reply after hearing this, but his Braum had already started pressing forward immediately!

Uzi moved forward in sync, unleashing his W skill, "Volley of Arrows," at the enemy bot lane duo!

Crystal has his E skill available, but he really didn't dare to use it in this situation, so he could only take the hit head-on.

Just then, taking advantage of the slowing effect of the ice, Liu Qingsong accurately hit the Minotaur with his Q [Winter's Bite]!

"Attack the bull!" Uzi shouted, and Hanbing quickly moved forward, chasing after the bull and hitting it with two basic attacks. Then Liu Qingsong followed up with an attack, stunning it!

"A fight has broken out in the bottom lanes. Alistar used his ultimate to break free from crowd control, and Sivir also used her ultimate. It seems like they're trying to counter-attack!"

After using his ultimate to break free from crowd control, Uzi took a step forward, putting himself within Alistar's combo range. Rhythm decisively turned around and used WQ, heading straight for Ashe's Frost Hammer!

But Uzi was prepared. He used Flash to dodge the combo, then turned around and used Q, and countless arrows shot into Alistar's body!

Liu Qingsong jumped over with the security door raised, absorbing all of Sivir's damage. He held onto all his skills, waiting for Alistar to use Flash to create distance before unleashing his ultimate, Glacial Rift. Alistar was slowed down and stuck, unable to move at all!

"The Minotaur is tough, but the Bipolar Deceleration is too stable; even flashbangs are useless!" Colonel Guan shouted, "Looks like we can't escape!"

Although the damage reduction from the ultimate skill makes Ashe's damage feel like scratching a dent, it is more durable and consistent!

Master Ai's hands were sore from shooting, but he still managed to take down the bull's head in the end!

Wuhu!

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Liu Qingsong suddenly spoke up: "They can still kill! They can still kill!"

As they were talking, Braum flashed forward with Q and threw another Winter's Bite at Sivir!

Crystal was startled by this and could only activate his shield to block the Q.

But the moment he raised his shield, the [Magic Crystal Arrow] shot over.

Ouch

Crystal had no choice but to use Flash to dodge the ultimate attack and save his life.

"Whoosh!" Uzi roared, his revenge seemingly complete. "Awesome! Enough is enough!"

Just get your face back!

Uzi turned around and continued pushing the lane, while Doinb noted down the Flash cooldowns of the opposing duo.

"Snake's bot lane duo used up all their summoner spells this time!" Guan Daxiao said. "Given QG's style, they're probably going to speed things up now."

At this moment, in the QG voice channel, Doinb was also discussing the four-man gank on the bottom lane with Xiangguo. They couldn't refuse such a lucrative opportunity, having given up their two summoner spells.

It has to be said that Taliyah is indeed a very suitable hero for QG. As a mage, her late-game damage output is sufficient.

Furthermore, as a roaming mage, she perfectly fits QG's four-man gank strategy.

Two minutes later, QG slowly started their long-unused four-man gank strategy.

This version of Taliyah has ridiculously high wave clear. Even though Doinb only has a Doran's Ring and a Lost Chapter, he hasn't been back to base for several minutes.

But thanks to his level 4 Q skill, his wave clear efficiency is also at its maximum.

This version of Taliyah's Q skill is still an AOE, and it doesn't reduce damage to minions. Just two stones are enough to kill three ranged minions at once, and as for melee minions, it's just a matter of one W and E.

With just three skills, they easily pushed the minion wave forward.

Immediately afterwards, the roaming rhythm started, with Xiangguo already heading towards the bottom lane, and Doinb following closely behind.

"Snake's bot lane duo seems to have realized what's happening; they've abandoned the bot lane minion wave and started retreating. But can they really get away?"

Because Uzi was deliberately letting the lane go, the minion wave was concentrated in the middle of the bottom lane. By the time Snake's bottom lane duo realized someone was coming to gank them, it was too late to escape!

Taliyah moved to the right position and released [Wall], creating a stone wall that carried Taliyah straight to Snake's first tower, blocking the enemy bot lane duo's retreat!

Immediately afterwards, Xiangguo's team also appeared!

"In the bottom lane, Uzi has already started pushing the lane, and a four-man gank on the second lane was completed in an instant!" Xiaosan's tone was slightly excited. "What about Snake? Should we protect them?"

"Save us! Save us!" Crystal shouted in the voice chat, "We can't let them dive us this wave, we're going to lose the bottom tower! Push the lane outwards, don't let the minion wave get in!"

"OK!"

Rhythm decisively pushed outwards, relying on Niu Shao's ultimate ability to tank the minion wave outside the tower, forcibly buying the team a few seconds of time!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, SofM's Gragas finally came to the rescue, and then TANK also used Teleport!

"Snake is putting up a lot of resistance! It's a 4v4 in the bottom lane! Should QG make a move?"

As soon as Colonel Guan finished speaking, another TP light appeared on the screen!

This teleport came from the top lane Cassiopeia!

"Here we go again! QG's five-man dive to the bottom lane!"

Amidst the rousing shouts of the commentators, the bottom lane tower dive began in an instant!

At this point, they couldn't keep up with the pace anymore, so they had no choice but to let the minion wave push into the tower.

And it was precisely the instant he entered the tower that Centaur used his ultimate to charge straight into the crowd! Chaos instantly erupted beneath the tower!

"Kill Viktor first! Kill Viktor first!" Xiangguo followed the principle of killing the helper first, and Centaur kicked Viktor who had teleported down!

Liu Qingsong seized the opportunity and landed a precise Q skill!

Meanwhile, seeing that he was in danger, TANK decisively used Flash to create distance, and then turned around and unleashed a WRQEA combo!

He had barely finished unleashing his combo when Ashe and Taliyah unleashed ranged basic attacks, stunning him instantly.

Doinb seized the opportunity, Taliyah WE made their move, and Viktor's health bar was instantly depleted!

The first casualty has been killed!

On the other side, Snake was not to be outdone. SofM's Gragas came to support, stunning Hecarim with a belly ram, and then used his ultimate to knock back QG's bot lane duo. With the help of Tadak, Snake easily took down Xiangguo!

Uzi, who had been blown away, didn't waste any time and quickly fired a magic crystal arrow, knocking the barrel unconscious with a single shot!

Just then, the snake woman teleported to the ground!

"Liu Qingsong, come and tank the tower!" Chen Dongqing, acting like a villain, didn't rush to attack after teleporting down. Instead, he took two steps toward Liu Qingsong's position.

After Braum used one of his skills to get close and used Q to tank the tower, he finally managed to use W, and then unleashed a barrage of Q and E!

With the help of Doinb's Q skill, they took down Gragas first!

Meanwhile, the turret hit Braum with a single shot, and the fully charged turret reduced Braum's already low health to half!

"Damn it, I can't escape now, let's try another one!" Crystal decided to give up and Sivir turned around and hit Braum with a QA combo.

But the moment he turned around, he was enveloped head-on by the [Petrifying Gaze]!

Sivir froze instantly!

Alec, it's over!

Gangzi had this word flash through his mind.

Chen Dongqing used Q followed by E with Venomous Fang, instantly eliminating Sivir in two moves.

At this moment, only one Alistar remains under the tower, having already exhausted his ultimate ability!

"QG, retreat from the turrets for now, then come back! The Alistar definitely can't escape!"

At Guan Zeyuan's urging, the remaining four members of QG collectively entered the tower to share the beef!

"Give me one! Please, give me one!" At Uzi's almost pleading voice, Chen Dongqing and Doinb stopped.

Master Ai unleashed a basic attack on the low-health Minotaur.

But they didn't kill him.

The snake woman's poison took effect, and the bull-headed man was killed in battle.

"Holy crap!" Uzi instantly went into red-hot mode and couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, reducing the table's HP to -999, which caused a burst of laughter from his teammates around him.

Chen Dongqing, having collected three kills, said cheerfully, "There's nothing I can do about it, they were poisoned."

"Whatever." Red Wen Uzi immediately started signaling to shoo everyone away. "I'll take the first tower myself, you all get out of here, hurry up and leave!"

"Hesitate." Chen Dongqing had no intention of staying to push the tower. After retreating, he returned to the city to replenish his equipment and headed straight for the top lane!

Including the solo kill in the top lane, he had accumulated the gold from four kills, which was obviously a huge economic leap. After returning to base, Chen Dongqing immediately combined the lost chapters in his hand into a Ghost Book.

It's so fat it's bursting.

At this moment, Uzi also solo-killed the bottom lane tower. The 675 gold from that solo kill was like a bucket of ice water, cooling down Uzi considerably.

After leaving the house again, the QG team grouped up and went to the river to control the Earth Dragon, which had been alive for a long time.

"Alright, let's switch lanes," Uzi said cheerfully. "Inb, you're going bot lane?"

"OK!" Doinb replied cheerfully, as if he were back in the Spring Split.

Back then, his role in QG was to gank the bottom tower with four players in one wave. As long as he successfully pushed down the bottom tower, he could retire and just sit back and relax.

And that's exactly the rhythm of this game!

On Snake's side, Crystal also switched to the mid lane. Sivir's tower defense ability is actually very strong. She can easily clear a wave with WQ, but Uzi is not in a hurry and just slowly grinds it down.

They'll get stronger later on, what's the rush?

After taking down the bottom lane's first turret, Xiangguo was finally freed up and was no longer confined to the bottom lane.

So, two minutes later, Xiangguo and Liu Qingsong teamed up, roamed to the top lane, and directly tower-dived!

Chen Dongqing decisively used his W to seal Poppy's E skill first, and then Hecarim and Braum rushed in and took down Poppy!

After diving the tower, the top lane tower was immediately taken down!

Victory is already in QG's hands!

Next comes the monotonous grind of pushing towers and invading the jungle.

This time it was Xiangguo's turn to be the jungle bandit. Hecarim rampaged through Snake's jungle, devouring jungle monsters.

Following that, QG took down the dragons one after another.

18 minutes later, a water dragon appeared; 24 minutes later, another earth dragon appeared!

The Earth Dragon is just as effective as the Fire Dragon in this version. Its extra true damage against epic monsters and towers can have many unexpected benefits!

Now that QG has two Earth Dragons, they all feel it's about time to end the game.

"Come on! Baron!" Uzi pinged the signal, and the four of them headed straight for Baron.

Chen Dongqing also skipped bringing a line this time and headed to the upper half of the bracket as well.

He was key in the Baron fight.

"We can do it! QG seems to be preparing to accelerate with Baron, and they've already started fighting!" Guan Daxiao's voice grew louder and louder: "With two Earth Dragons, their Baron speed is incredibly fast!"

QG boasts champions like Ashe, Taliyah, and Cassiopeia, all of whom are top-tier sustained damage dealers!

With the support of the two earth dragons, the dragon's health bar plummeted like lightning!

Snake's team had already moved from the mid lane into the river. Crystal used a vision control point to get there and saw that Baron Nashor only had half health left!

Gangzi immediately panicked, and Sivir activated her ultimate ability, leading her teammates to charge forward!

"Okay, Snake, get ready to engage! Maybe SofM can still manage to use Smite!"

Five thousand!

four thousand!

Three thousand!

As the dragon's health rapidly decreased, Snake's players became increasingly impatient, and their weaknesses grew larger and larger!

Chen Dongqing's greatest strength lies in seizing the opponent's weaknesses.

Seeing Snake's desperate situation, Chen Dongqing's heart suddenly raced. He abruptly shouted into the voice chat, "Team fight! Team fight! I can initiate!"

At this moment, Chen Dongqing's snake woman is inside the dragon pit. Snake's entire field of vision has been cleared, so theoretically, the other side should not be able to see his position.

At this point, SofM's barrel had reached the side of the river, clearly preparing to establish vision.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing didn't hesitate any longer and decisively used R-Flash to attack!

Place the mouse behind the Cassiopeia, press R, and then Flash forward!

[Petrifying Gaze]!

Just as the Snakes charged forward, a snake woman appeared on their faces in the next instant.

In Snake's gameplay footage, this Cassiopeia was absolutely hilarious, because after she flashed out, she threw out a reverse ultimate, as if paying homage to her former teammate.

But what's terrifying is that, without a sound, all four people facing Snake have turned into stone statues and are unable to move!

"Wow!" Colonel Guan was utterly astonished, standing up from the commentary booth with an expression of disbelief: "What on earth is going on?!"

This unscientific!

Rhythm reacted quickly. Seeing the situation, he swiftly used his ultimate to reduce the petrification, and then tried to use his W to knock the Cassiopeia away.

But just as he activated his ultimate, the next second Cassiopeia's W was placed at his feet, and Nuguri's W was forced back!

Chen Dongqing then pressed Q [Plague Explosion], hitting both of the opponent's carries at the same time. Then, he unleashed two Snake Fangs, and Sivir was the first to die!

On the other side, Doinb charged forward while yelling "Awesome!" and Taliyah instantly killed Viktor with WEQ!

The two Cs were instantly evaporated!

"Snake only has Poppy and Alistar left in their front line! But it seems like those two can't escape either!"

Uzi and Xiangguo decisively abandoned the dragon, which still had more than 2,000 health left, and charged out together. Centaur used his ultimate to fear, and Chen Dongqing chased after him with his snake teeth, killing the Minotaur first.

Uzi, in coordination with Liu Qingsong, killed Poppy, who was full of magic resistance, and all four members of Snake were killed!

"After securing the kill, QG immediately turned around and started Baron! Snake only has SofM left. So, can SofM be the savior in this situation?"

Obviously impossible.

Uzbekistan is still holding a big hand.

Liu Qingsong positioned himself behind the dragon pit to provide vision, and as SofM approached, the Magic Crystal Arrow struck directly!

Doinb was afraid SofM would escape, so Taliyah flashed over and managed to carry Gragas from outside the dragon pit with a WE combo!

What followed was a brutal beating, and SofM died shortly afterward!

"ACE!"

Amidst the cries of team wipe, QG seized the opportunity to take down the Baron, leaving only one push to end the game!

But at this moment, all the spectators watching the game were completely bewildered.

The third commentator was also taken aback.

Snake, as the victim, was even more perplexed.

"What's with this reversed ultimate move?" Crystal scratched his head. "Is he playing some kind of cheating game? Should we pause and report him?"

"I don't think it's necessary, right?" Rhythm said from the side. "We've already lost this game anyway. Even if he had used a normal R-flash, we wouldn't have been able to dodge it, would we? Let's not waste time."

Thinking that it was already past eight o'clock, Crystal, who was starving, nodded: "Yeah, anyway, this one was already mailed."

Across the Yellow Sea.

SKT, who don't have a match today, are watching this playoff game right now.

QG is a team that defeated them at MSI, so they are definitely going to pay close attention to them.

But at this moment, they were clearly stunned by this operation.

"What on earth is this?" Wolf asked, still puzzled, while chewing on his hamburger. "Is this a bug?"

"I don't know." Bang shook his head. "It's probably some kind of visual illusion, right? Ilex probably wouldn't dare use a bug in public."

Faker adjusted his glasses and said, "Let's watch the replay first."

At this point, the director also showed a replay of the previous team fight. In slow motion, Cassiopeia's reverse R-flash action looked sinister.

Faker glanced at the play, his eyes flickering slightly, and a few guesses began to form in his mind.

After the replay ended, QG's main force had already pushed Snake's high ground to the edge of the base, and there's not much to say about what happened next.

In a team fight, Snake's base exploded.

Viewers in the Korean commentary booth offered a sharp comment: "Oh, let's congratulate QG! As expected of the MSI champion team, their dominance in the league remains as strong as ever!"

The words "MSI champion" pierced the hearts of the SKT members, and their faces darkened.

Faker, however, remained calm. He pulled his chair back in front of the computer and said, "Xingxiong, help me test out some techniques?"

"Want to try that reverse R flash?" Bengi understood what his old friend meant. "Come on! I want to see what that's like."

This version doesn't have a training mode; if you want to practice your skills, you have to go into custom games. Faker selected Cassiopeia. Bengi randomly chose Garen, who was the first champion on the list, and the game started.

Faker quickly leveled up to level six and then called Bengi over.

He thought for a moment, placed the mouse behind him, and the instant he pressed the ultimate move button, he dragged the mouse to flash forward.

The Cassiopeia began charging her ultimate ability behind her back, and then, with the help of Flash, changed her facing direction!

The green light moves backward, the petrification moves forward, and the reverse R flash reappears!

"Wow! Awesome!" Bengi couldn't help but exclaim. "That was really impressive, Sang-hyeok! That move really caught us off guard!"

Faker nodded, keeping this little trick in mind.

"Come on, the match is over," Kkoma said. "Let's play one more practice match. Tomorrow is our semifinal, so let's get some final preparations."

Meanwhile, the QG players were already on their way back to the rest room.

Doinb, ever the curious one, stood next to Chen Dongqing and asked, "How did you pull off that reverse R-flash?"

"How else can you play this?" Chen Dongqing laughed. "Just reverse that ultimate move, then flash in. It's not that difficult."

"That simple?"

"It's that simple. You'll see when you start a custom game in the third round," Chen Dongqing replied with a smile, while feeling a little wistful inside.

The reverse R-flash was a move that Faker first showcased during the S6 World Championship.

The reverse throw creates a visual illusion, then a sudden flash attack petrifies you, leaving you no time to react!

The reason this trick worked was because this version of the Cassiopeia had a special mechanism, or you could say a bug.

During the casting of [R Petrifying Gaze], using Blink can reset the direction of the launched cone.

In layman's terms, it means that during the ultimate skill's cast time, you can use Flash to adjust your facing direction, turning the reversed ultimate skill into the forward one.

However, there is a visual bug here. The actual effect of the ultimate skill has been adjusted, but the special effect of the ultimate skill will not be adjusted, so this will create a reverse R flash effect.

However, this mechanism was changed by the designers as a bug in version 7.4, so the true reverse R-flash has long since disappeared.

Although later generations have replicated similar reverse R-flash maneuvers, achieving the same visual effect, those ultimate moves were released from the front, rendering them ineffective for deception and merely superficial.

Now, however, he has taken the lead by showing off this skill first.

This feels so good!

Wow, I'm writing a long chapter of 10,000 words today, finishing the second part.

I'll probably write a brief review of the third match; the semi-finals will conclude tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, guys!
