League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 233 One Flash Kills!

Watching QG's top laner and jungler push the minion wave into the tower, Guan Daxiao's eyes were filled with admiration: "I have to say, Xiangguo's counter-gank was truly brilliant!"

From God's perspective, they witnessed the entire process of Xiangguo's counter-gank.

The director was quite understanding and quickly provided a replay.

The prince deliberately showed himself at the edge of WE's vision range in the mid lane, giving WE a false impression, and then rushed to the top lane without stopping!

Then came a crucial support play, helping Graves secure a double kill.

The camera then focused on the QG players' bench, where Chen Dongqing and Xiangguo exchanged a glance, then smiled and gave each other a fist bump.

This single move is enough to secure the victory!

Upon seeing this, the comments section erupted with discussion.

If you want to gank QG's top laner, you'll definitely have to get past Xiangguo first.

[Haha, so Xiangguo is Brother Shu's bodyguard, right?]

[The main thing is that Xiangguo was a bit cunning this time; he deliberately tricked WE, and they fell for it.]

Is the game over?

[It's over, goodnight!]

By this point, both Uzi and Jungler from WE realized they had been tricked by Xiangguo, but they could do nothing but smile bitterly.

957 was killed as soon as he logged in, which was a huge loss for him. He watched as a wave of minions were killed one by one by the turret, but before he could recover, Graves teleported back to lane and pushed the next wave of minions into the turret.

957 was instantly suffocated.

Don't go too far!

In fact, Chen Dongqing could have easily gone online. The reason he chose to teleport online this time was certainly not just to disgust 957.

It's because the game is now almost seven minutes in.

This is a sensitive time.

After pushing the lane, Chen Dongqing headed towards WE's blue buff area. A yellow hourglass icon had appeared at the location of the blue buff camp, indicating that the jungle monsters were about to spawn.

"Here they come! QG's top and jungle are trying to steal the blue buff again!" Guan Dajiao exclaimed dramatically, "They don't even want Condi to get a single blue buff!"

957's big tree was walking past his own second tower. If he wanted to support the jungle, he could just turn the corner and get there.

But he glanced at the minion wave pushing into the top lane tower.

Brother, you'd better suffer on your own.

The tree quickly walked towards the top lane, and after clearing a wave of minions, it finally reached level six.

At that moment, the blue buff spawned.

Condi, seeing the two people lording it over him in his Ueno area, didn't dare to step into Ueno at all.

However, he can't go to the enemy jungle to trade for the blue buff, because the enemy mid laner is a Syndra.

That's disgusting.

In the mid lane, Xi Ye looked at the scene in his own jungle and remained silent.

Damn it, that blue buff should have been his!

Without a blue buff, how can he lane against Syndra?

Soon, Chen Dongqing returned to the lane with a blue buff, using his Q skill to push the lane relentlessly, much to 957's annoyance.

One blue buff disgusted three people.

Faced with this situation, Condi could only give up on the top lane with tears in his eyes and try to take down the bottom lane instead.

EZ Karma is a composition that requires pushing lanes and poking under the tower. Without jungle protection, this composition is very dangerous.

But when Condi arrived at the bottom lane, he found that QG's bottom lane duo was running incredibly fast, and Uzi even had time to press T and give a thumbs up.

Uzi is no longer the brainless AD carry who always pushed the lane and needed his teammates to protect him. His playstyle is much smarter than when he first joined QG last year. Simple ganks like this are simply not enough to take him down.

Condi had no choice but to take the dragon, but it was a wind dragon, so taking it wouldn't make much difference—this was already part of QG's planned losses, and they had already decided on their strategy for the game when they saw the wind dragon.

Xiangguo's strategy was clear this game. He first went back to the bottom half of the map, helped Gao Dewei get a blue buff, and then farmed all the way up.

Regardless of whether Condi ganks top or not, he'll just stay in the top lane to protect the lane and push down the tower first!

When Chen Dongqing returned to the city to replenish his equipment, Xiangguo would also quickly return to the city to farm jungle monsters and catch up on his level.

Under its protection, the health of WE's top lane turret plummeted. By the ten-minute mark, the WE top lane turret had been reduced to ruins, and 600 gold coins flew into Graves' pocket.

一血塔的赏金奖励在7.4版本遭到了削减，本地金币从275增加到300，额外赏金从400减少到300。

With the addition and subtraction, killing a single tower now costs only 600 gold, which is 75 less than before.

However, the impact is minimal; the amount of gold coins is still quite substantial.

After returning to the city, Chen Dongqing immediately crafted a [Duskblade of Draktharr].

He hasn't even replenished the extraction capacity yet.

This economy is simply appalling.

Chen Dongqing headed to the top lane again. This time, the first tower was already gone, and taking down the second tower was a bit dangerous. So this time, Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry to push the tower. Instead, he turned around and took down the Rift Herald.

If the Vanguard could crash into the tower in this version, it would be a decisive blow, but unfortunately it can't.

The Vanguard is still a buff, so it's hard to get a game with such outrageous stats as 1557.

But that's enough; at least this thing is good at snowballing.

Chen Dongqing started pushing the lane quickly, and then went into WE's jungle after pushing the lane, eating whatever he could find, and all the extra gold was deducted from Condi.

"Condi's being forced to go on a hunger strike," Remember couldn't help but laugh. "His finishing moves are now way behind Xiangguo's!"

"There's really nothing we can do about it." Colonel Guan, putting himself in Condi's shoes, felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Top lane Graves is just too unfair. No champion can push the lane faster than him. How can Condi possibly win a 1v2 situation?!"

With no other option, Condi had to gank the bottom lane again.

This time, however, they finally succeeded.

Mystic's Ashe starts with her ultimate, charging straight at Karma's head, who has no mobility!

Xiao Ming reacted quickly, dodging the cold arrow, but the next second he was blown back by the barrel and lost his life.

Mystic's Ashe secured the kill, giving the team a much-needed reprieve.

"My bad, my bad," Xiaoming apologized immediately in the voice message, "I didn't expect the Gragas to be here again."

"It doesn't matter," Uz said nonchalantly. "As long as I'm not dead, everything's fine."

The camera quickly switched to the mid lane, and as soon as it switched, everyone saw that Xiye and Gao Dewei were already fighting!

Ekko and his W arrived at Syndra's side almost simultaneously, creating a perfect combo. Ekko then stunned Syndra instantly!

But Godwin had anticipated this scene and preemptively launched a QE double attack!

Although Syndra was stunned, her E skill had already started casting, forcibly pushing the ball out and stunning Ekko again!

Both mid laners were controlled simultaneously, time seemed to stand still, and only a time rewind slowly rolled back, hitting Syndra with three hits.

Xi Ye's mind was clear. After waking up from the dizziness, he leaned against the Third Ring Road and turned to run away.

Of course, Goldwyn was not happy about this. Syndra decisively chased after him, grabbed the Dark Orb, and threw it with a W!

Xi Ye tried to dodge by accelerating his movement, but his movement direction was predicted and he was hit squarely!

Xiye remained calm. Seeing that his ultimate ability's shadow had already reached Syndra's side, he decisively used his ultimate to stomp back!

This kick landed directly on Syndra's face and even restored some of her health!

Judging from this exchange, he has already won by a large margin!

But at that moment, Goldwyane seemed to disregard everything, Syndra unleashed a basic attack, and then QR fired five magic orbs at once!

Xi Ye didn't want to move at all.

Even if Syndra's damage is insane, these five ultimate abilities can't kill Ekko when he still has 60% health!

As long as his ultimate doesn't kill him, he can wait for the next set of skills and then kill Syndra with it!

After Ekko's ultimate attack landed on Xiye's head, he still had 30% health left, which further strengthened Xiye's confidence.

You dare call me trash? You'll regret it!

But at that moment, a cannonball suddenly flew over from outside the screen and exploded at the extreme distance!

The area of ​​effect of the explosion completely enveloped Ekko.

Xi Ye's remaining 30% health was completely wiped out by this one shot!

"QGilex has killed WExiye!"

—Killing Spree!

"Holy crap!" Xi Ye couldn't control himself and shouted, "What kind of damage is that?"

He pressed TAB, saw Graves's Duskblade, and was immediately stunned, then pinged twice.

Is this game even for humans to play?

The audience cheered loudly, and it must be said that the scene of melting 30% of the target's health with a single shot was truly impactful.

Even Godwin was a little startled, asking in surprise, "What kind of injury did you inflict?"

"That's normal, that's how it is." Chen Dongqing was too lazy to explain. "I'll show you something even more amazing later."

After securing the kill, Chen Dongqing casually returned to the top lane to continue the fight.

The first Graves to build a Duskblade deals terrifying damage, and there's another crucial factor: this version of Duskblade can clear wards.

Graves walked around the jungle, and WE's top jungle was suddenly plunged into darkness. Jarvan IV was nowhere to be seen either, and Condi didn't dare to enter the top jungle at all.

Condi felt utterly helpless as he watched the third blue buff fall into Graves' pocket once again.

This guy is basically shitting on your face, and there's not much you can do about it.

QG's strategy after gaining an advantage has always been the same: they invade aggressively and always make a big show of it, so much so that you don't even dare to fight back.

The blue buff replenished Graves' mana, and Chen Dongqing played outside, quickly taking down the enemy's second top lane turret.

Meanwhile, WE also made some progress. Xiye and Condi worked together to help Dajizi take down QG's bottom lane tower and then secure the second Earth Dragon.

At this point, 17 minutes had passed, and it was clear that 957's Treant Protector had finally made a breakthrough in his equipment, acquiring the Sunfire Cape.

But Chen Dongqing smiled slightly, and with a huge sum of money in his hand, he returned to the city and bought a Ghostblade, giving him a significant advantage.

Duskblade - Youmuu's Ghostblade - Edge of Night - Armor Penetration: This is a very popular build for Graves in this version.

The previously popular warrior build with Green Cross and Death Dance has been abandoned in favor of a pure damage build with stronger suppression capabilities.

The strategy is somewhat similar to the armor penetration build for Jayce.

This version of Nightblade is still an active effect, which ensures that Graves can enter the fray with a shield, guaranteeing a safe environment for dealing damage.

When Graves acquires the Youmuu's Ghostblade and Duskblade set, his burst damage will reach an extremely terrifying level.

Soon enough, the targets for testing damage were offered up voluntarily.

Chen Dongqing and mid laner Gao Dewei switched lanes and launched an attack on mid laner Ekko.

Ekko's advantage over Syndra lies in the mid-game after maxing out his Q. With high AP items and a maxed-out Q, Ekko can easily clear a wave of minions with one Q followed by three auto-attacks, and then roam around.

Xi Ye relied on this advantage

But once Graves arrives, this advantage disappears.

Chen Dongqing went up and used an empty EQ combo followed by a basic attack to unleash Duskblade, leaving Ekko covered in bruises!

Fortunately, WE also has preventative measures.

"Alright, Mystic and Ben have switched to mid lane too!" Guan Daxiao commented. "Ashe's range is still quite long, and with Lulu's protection, they should be able to limit Graves' development."

My brother-in-law thought so too.

Although he only has Blade of the Ruined King and Berserker's Greaves, with Lulu as his second item, he is confident that he can hold his own against Graves in the mid lane.

So the brother-in-law was quite bold; with Lulu following behind, he bravely stepped forward to suppress her.

Chen Dongqing narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this scene.

He threw a smoke grenade at Ashe's face, and Lulu immediately put on her shield to protect her AD from damage. At the same time, she held onto her ultimate, so Graves was no threat to Ashe at all!

Meanwhile, the brother-in-law went even further, landing a basic attack on Graves and then maintaining distance, leaving Graves unable to retaliate!

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing chuckled, attacked a minion, and used Bloodlust to speed up his retreat.

At this moment, the opposing bot lane obviously wouldn't stand for it. Lulu cast another speed boost, Ashe's speed and movement speed increased, and then the enemy's bot laner activated his Q skill, unleashing a barrage of arrows at Graves.

At this moment, the shield on Hanbing's body had disappeared.

Chen Dongqing glanced at the last bullet in his hand and began to type rapidly on the keyboard with his left hand!

AREQ3A!

The moment the male gunner fired a bullet and the bullet was empty, he unleashed the [Ultimate Bomb]!

Then he slid forward, a golden light flashed, and he moved twice in a row to Hanbing's face. He released Q [Desperate Situation] and then immediately followed up with a basic attack!

Haven't you made enough of a scene?!

The Graves charged at Ashe with three skills, and somehow managed to clear her health bar in the order he dealt the damage!

"QGilex has killed WEMystic!"

—Rampage!!!

At that moment, the entire audience was stunned!

"Ah!!?" ​​Commentator Guan jumped to his feet, staring intently at the screen, and shouted, "Mystic got instantly killed! He didn't even get to use his Lulu ultimate!"

The audience was startled, and so was the commentator.

Even the brother-in-law was terrified.

"Huh??" The brother-in-law was so stunned by this that he trembled all over. He stared at his black and white screen for a second before he reacted: "What is this?!"

Ben was also taken aback and stammered, "He was so fast, I didn't have time to react."

My health bar disappeared in an instant, who could possibly use their ultimate skill then! This really isn't my fault, you didn't even use Flash and Heal yourself!

At this moment, the comments section was filled with astonishment.

[That's how you kill someone instantly?]

I have no idea how they even managed to unleash that ultimate move.

Why doesn't he retreat after unleashing his ultimate attack?

Is it ARE?

[I think so, but what happened next?]

The director really understands the audience. He first watched Graves push the minion wave to the turret before finally switching to the replay.

In the replay, Ashe, with Lulu's buffs, fired arrows at Graves, even bringing him down to half health at one point.

At that moment, the game suddenly slowed down.

Graves A, empty-handed and with a bullet in his hand, instantly uses his ultimate, then E-flashes to get right in front of him the instant the ultimate is cast.

Then Hanbing was instantly killed.

【? ? ? 】

What is this?!

Why did you provoke him?

[You flashed and got killed by Ashe, right?]

Even in slow motion, this combo is still unclear, which is obviously just for the audience's amusement.

"This..." Colonel Guan was also somewhat confused. "I really don't understand this!"

Remember replied with a laugh, "You'll have to ask Brother Shu in the post-match interview."

Meanwhile, in QG's voice chat, Xiangguo asked in confusion, "What kind of combo is that?"

As a jungler with a high level of skill in Graves, he still couldn't understand it, which he found unacceptable.

Chen Dongqing remained calm and laughed, "It's just a combination of ARE, reload, EQ flash, and more. You should understand, right?"

Xiangguo mentally reviewed the two combos before realizing their potential, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You're a fucking genius!"

This combo is actually just a combination of two small techniques.

The first is ARE. If Graves presses RE within a short time after casting a basic attack, his E skill can cancel the retreat of his R skill.

The second is the reload EQ combo. Graves can press EQ during the reload animation, and the Q skill will be smoothly integrated into the E skill's sliding animation. If you add a Flash in between, it becomes an empty-ammo EQ Flash, which can quickly deal Q skill damage with two consecutive dashes.

Using the E skill as an intermediary to connect the two techniques is called AREQ Flash.

Then, after landing, he followed up with a quick auto-attack (Graves' QA combo is very fast, almost simultaneous), unleashing this terrifying one-hit kill combo. (It's been censored now; there will be a video at the end of the chapter.)

After killing the enemy in the mid lane, Lulu was left alone. Naturally, she was no match for Graves. Chen Dongqing gently chased after her and auto-attacked her twice, which scared Lulu into using her ultimate.

"As you can see, Xiangguo is already heading towards the mid lane; they want to take down the mid tower!" Guan Zeyuan shouted. "Without Ashe's protection in the mid lane, this mid tower is practically a sure thing!"

WE had nurtured their strongest point for over ten minutes, only to have it destroyed by Graves's single shot, rendering all their efforts in those ten minutes futile.

In the mid lane, Chen Dongqing easily pushed down the mid lane tower. When the camera switched to the bottom lane, Xiaoming and Uzi pushed the minion wave to the bottom tower and easily took down the bottom lane tower despite Ekko's defense.

With two defensive towers secured, the economic gap between the two sides quickly widened!

This wave of extra gold allowed Uzi, who had been developing slowly, to start developing rapidly. After recalling at 23 minutes, he successfully completed Trinity Force and entered the power spike of Manamune and Trinity Force.

The significance of picking Ezreal in professional matches lies in his power spike after acquiring these two core items. During this phase, an Ezreal's Q can typically deal a quarter of a player's health, making it impossible for the opposing team to engage in direct team fights, allowing him to easily secure resources.

Of course, the most terrifying thing about QG is not this two-item EZ, but the three-item Graves who has already completed a Night's Edge.

QG quickly grouped up and secured the Water Dragon. Then, they spent another minute easily pushing the mid-lane second tower, creating a very oppressive pace!

"Let's go, Big Dragon!" Chen Dongqing immediately pinged a signal, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

His hurried movements drew sidelong glances from his teammates.

Hurry up, huh?

Of course, now that all the outer towers have been destroyed, they have nothing to do if they don't engage Baron Nashor, so everyone readily accepted it and gathered directly at the Baron pit, causing Baron Nashor's health to plummet!

"QG wants to speed things up; they're aiming to use the mid-game pressure from their armor-piercing Graves and Ezreal to quickly end the game!"

Remember's voice was slightly shrill; he shouted, "Dragon's health is dropping very quickly!"

In the video, WE's five players have already stepped into the river. With a large tree in front of them and Ashe's Eagle Strike for vision, they have saved themselves a lot of scouting.

"The Eagle Spirit exploded in mid-air, revealing a dragon with only a third of its health remaining!" Colonel Guan shouted. "It seems this dragon is too late!"

"Move forward quickly!" Condi shouted into the voice chat, "Get me in there for the penalty shootout!"

Condi is quite skilled at stealing Baron Nashor from players like Clearlove and Mlxg, and last year he repeatedly managed to snatch Baron Nashor from Clearlove and Mlxg to help his team stay alive.

But QG also knew this information, and of course they would not let Condi enter the Baron pit. The team fight broke out in an instant!

At this point, the dragon still had 3,000 health left. QG decisively gave up on the dragon and chose to engage in a head-on team fight!

However, at this moment, it seemed that WE was not going to agree.

Xiye was incredibly bold. He calculated that QG lacked control and couldn't kill him instantly. He placed Ekko's W in the Baron pit, and then, as soon as he arrived, he charged in with a single W!

There was no one left in the Dragon Pit, so his W skill missed completely, which was exactly what Xiye wanted!

Ekko slammed his club into Baron Nashor, then followed up with a Q followed by an auto-attack for a triple kill!

Ekko's W passive ability grants him percentage-based execute damage when attacking units with less than 30% health.

And this damage, combined with the three-hit combo hitting the dragon, results in a massive burst of damage!

Ekko's three-hit combo reduced the Baron's 3,000 HP to below 1,000 HP!

The next second, Ekko was stunned by Syndra's push, but he had already achieved his goal.

Condi's coordination was perfect; Gragas used E-Flash to enter the Dragon Pit and then unleashed a Smite!

Baron Nash roared and transformed into a purple buff, falling into WE's pocket!

"We got it!" Colonel Guan's voice was filled with anguish. "And Lulu used her ultimate on Ekko, forcibly saving his teammates from being focused down! Ekko used his ultimate to retreat from the battlefield, and his health was fully restored!"

In the blink of an eye, Ekko used his ultimate to retreat from the battlefield and regain his full health. They had won this Baron fight by a large margin!

But without anyone noticing, the three WE members besides Gragas and Maokai had already formed a group.

Xiangguo's ability to initiate team fights is absolutely legendary; he couldn't possibly miss this perfect opportunity!

"Behold my divine might, invincible and unstoppable!"

The prince used his EQ combo to enter the fray, then flashed with golden light and used an EQ flash to send all three enemies flying. Then, his ultimate ability descended from the sky, covering all three enemies!

Another golden light flashed, and Graves, cigar in mouth, flashed into the Prince's ultimate skill range, launching [Desperate Strike] followed by [Ultimate Bomb]!

The Q skill gunpowder bullet suddenly backfired on the wall of the Prince's ultimate!

With the burst damage from a Graves build of three pure armor penetration items, the three opponents didn't even have time to land before their health bars were quickly wiped out!

"Triple kill!"

Because the three opponents died almost simultaneously, the triple kill voice line immediately rang out!

In just a short moment, the cheers from the audience reached their peak!

"My God!" Colonel Guan exclaimed in shock, "What kind of injury is this?!"

The three opponents had a combined total of over 5,000 health, and Graves only needed a moment to melt them all!

The deaths of the two carries and the support were like a heavy punch to WE's heart!

Condi, who flashed into the dragon pit to steal the dragon, was quickly melted by the damage from QG's two carries.

WE was reduced to just one giant tree in an instant; their complete annihilation was inevitable!

Chen Dongqing finally secured the kill on the tree with a basic attack, racking up a quadra kill. Although the five players didn't have the Baron buff, it didn't stop them from pushing forward and taking down WE's mid-lane crystal.

QG continued to speed up, making a big impact with the super minions in the mid lane, and taking advantage of Xiye's distraction while clearing minions in the mid lane, they decisively initiated a team fight in the top lane!

Once again, the prince entered the fray and used his ultimate to lock down the enemy, while QG's trident unleashed devastating damage from behind, sending WE's player to their doom for the second time!

"Alright, a two-for-five trade! QG's three surviving members can end the game!" Remember shouted loudly, "Let's congratulate QG on winning the first game in 26 minutes and 43 seconds!"

Thank you to "Several Spring Brees Gently Touch the Willows" for the 100 Qidian Coins donation. Thanks, boss! See you tomorrow, brothers.

Finally, I'd like to recommend a book by a fellow reader.
