League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 307 The Crocodile in Desperate Situation!

"Alright, let's all congratulate QG!" Guan Daxiao shouted loudly, "They've won the first game of today's match in 25 minutes!"

"I have to say, this victory seems to have come far too easily!" Wang Duoduo, standing to the side, stabbed 60E in the heart, saying nonchalantly, "It seems that from that last 'flex' pick in the draft, WE was unstoppable on their slide towards defeat!"

The draft picks in this game were indeed too obvious. It was a textbook example of a complete blunder. I never expected that Redmi would make such a mistake.

But there's not much we can do about it.

After all, Redmi itself doesn't rely on draft picks to improve its performance. He's similar to Park Unyong in that his strength lies in his management of players.

In this situation, Redmi could only apologize to the players as soon as they returned to the rest room.

The contestants, of course, dared not express any complaints at this point.

It's one thing if the draft is bad, but it's another thing if they play badly too.

The top laner was solo killed, the bottom laner was double killed, and there was a gap in jungle skill – these are all obvious facts.

Xi Ye was the only one who felt fine and was sitting in the middle of the line happily eating a banana.

I wasn't solo killed, I died because I was caught out. The enemy team caught me twice in a row, I couldn't possibly survive, could I?

As for the enemy Jayce running around everywhere, that has nothing to do with me; that's a draft issue.

Of course, Hongmi didn't intend to take all the blame; he then pointed out several mistakes made by the previous team members.

"The top lane decision in the last game was actually problematic. I understand your desire to stabilize the top lane, but forcing such a move without the help of teammates is too risky."

957 nodded as well.

As it turns out, even with his incredible skills, he couldn't escape being tower-dived in that game. He would have been better off just dying and teleporting back to lane to minimize his losses.

"Then, there was a problem in the bottom lane. In that situation, choosing to fight to the bitter end was the most irrational thing to do."

Redmi pointed out some problems with the team, and then said, "There were too many problems in the last game, and we can't finish talking about them all at once. Let's go back to the base and talk about them slowly."

"Our primary goal now is to win the second game. In the next game, the opponent will choose one side, and they will most likely choose the red side, so we need to make some adjustments to our draft."

The WE team members entered into a busy discussion.

On the other side, in the QG rest area.

"Wuhu, take off!" Xiangguo couldn't help but roar as he saw that the MVP of this game had really been awarded to him!

"Holy crap." Chen Dongqing stared at the scene before him, unable to contain his disbelief. "Does this selection process only consider K/DA? How could they not give it to me?"

"It's unreasonable not to give it to me, isn't it?" Uzi glared at him. "I have the highest damage output and the second highest participation rate, why shouldn't I get it?"

In today's match, QG's Chen Dongqing, Xiangguo, and Uzi all performed exceptionally well, and all three said that they would definitely be the MVP.

Indeed, judging from the data, the outcome for the MVP is quite unpredictable.

Xiangguo had the highest participation rate in team fights, Uzi had the highest damage output, while Chen Dongqing was more balanced, earning the most gold while maintaining high damage and participation rate.

So the three of them made a bet on who would be the MVP.

"Heh, all I can say is that LPL players understand the game. This MVP should go to me, you know?! Who ganked early on? Who initiated the team fight on the high ground?"

Xiangguo said happily, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

They're making a bet.

Chen Dongqing and Uzi exchanged a glance, their faces showing bitter helplessness, and said, "You win."

Xiangguo smiled contentedly.

It was so satisfying to hear that from Uzi and Chen Dongqing!

Banbazi didn't understand what these three young men were up to. He laughed and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough. Let's talk about the next game."

Because QG won the match, they don't have much to worry about.

Banbazi was simply discussing the strategy for the next game with everyone: "In the last game, the opponent's draft gave us an opportunity. In the next game, the opponent will definitely have to be more careful, and the draft won't be as easy."

Chen Dongqing laughed and said, "Damn it, we're choosing sides this round, how are we going to fight them?"

The advantage of having the right to choose sides is quite significant. It allows you to lock in a suitable bottom lane combination in the first or second pick without fear of being cut off, and it also allows you to cut off the opponent's bottom lane combination in the second pick. Most importantly, it provides the counter pick in the tenth pick.

Given this situation, QG's draft picks in the second game seemed to be handled with ease.

Despite their deliberate release of the information, WE managed to secure Janna, QG's best-performing support, but in return, QG quickly locked in Varus and Lulu.

With WE picking Janna, it's not good for them to pick Kog'Maw. Focusing solely on farming can easily lead to problems. Picking Varus to strengthen the laning phase would be better.

On the other side, WE made a late addition by picking Kalista, maximizing their bot lane laning strength, and then locked in a top lane Gragas, starting to play aggressively.

The two sides traded blows, and the lineups were quickly finalized.

Blue side WE: Top lane Gragas, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Kalista and Janna.

Red team QG: Top laner Renekton, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Orianna, bot lane Varus and Lulu.

It has to be said that both sides had very balanced lineups in this match, which is very much like what a professional match should look like.

Especially the scene where Brother Tree chooses the crocodile is extremely rare.

"To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen Brother Shu play with crocodiles before?" Wang Duoduo asked the probing question.

Colonel Guan, who had done his homework better, spoke directly: "You're right, this really is Brother Shu's first time playing with a crocodile!"

It's rather strange that Chen Dongqing is playing a classic heavy-armored warrior like the crocodile for the first time.

Of course, this is also related to Chen Dongqing's positioning.

He is responsible for carrying the team, so he usually chooses damage-dealing characters. Even when he's under pressure, he plays classic utility top laners like Gangplank or Renekton. He really doesn't like to pick those.

The main reason for this pick was that the opponent picked Gragas, and Renekton is a good counter to Gragas.

In addition, the focus of this game is the bottom lane, so we chose Renekton for Chen Dongqing, with the main strategy being to push the lane and hold onto W while waiting for the jungler.

And there's obviously nothing wrong with this decision.

When a crocodile hits a barrel, it's like a father hitting his son.

With Doran's Shield around, he kept going up and using QQQ to heal, and Gragas couldn't push him away or outlast him.

As for calling it "jungling," that's a waste of time.

Four minutes later, Condi's Lee Sin came to the top lane, wanting to take action against the Renekton who was pushing the lane, but unfortunately, Gragas's crowd control was not enough to keep Renekton in place.

As Chen Dongqing watched the barrel charge towards him, his movements were incredibly fast. Standing in the minion wave, he used his first E to dodge the barrel's charge, then used his second E to quickly create distance. Finally, with his 96-point reaction time, he easily dodged the Lee Sin's Q skill and returned to the tower without losing a single drop of health.

WE's gank on the top lane backfired, causing trouble for their bot lane.

Xiangguo's move was incredibly clever. The excavator went from WE's bottom jungle, bypassing the vision WE had set up in the bottom river, and appeared behind them by drilling.

With a quick thrust, he sent his brother-in-law flying!

Uzi and Shi Senming simultaneously flashed in, sacrificing three flashes in the process, to forcefully help Uzi secure the first blood!

At this point, Xiangguo continued, "Shall I go catch some next?"

His initial plan was to gank the bottom lane first, then go to the top lane and dive the tower again, opening up opportunities for both lanes.

But at that moment, Chen Dongqing spoke up: "You guys used too many Flashes this time. The enemy might try to gank bot lane. Don't come top next time. Go bot lane and counter-gank."

Xiangguo thought it made sense and nodded, saying, "OK."

Backstage in the lounge, Banbazi overheard his teammates talking and was deeply moved.

Xiangguo, the jungler, has fierce skills and a keen sense of opportunity, making him a perfect fit for QG.

However, this jungler also has a weakness: he is too aggressive.

His mind is completely focused on killing people and tower diving, which easily limits his thinking. For example, in this counter-gank, he even needed his top laner to remind him.

It's just a pity about Chen Dongqing.

Chen Dongqing was naturally eager to win, because he had come here with the intention of winning effortlessly.

People need to rest sometimes; it's exhausting to keep taking a break.

The competition is still ongoing.

And as it turned out, this counter-gank was flawless.

Xiangguo's excavator had been lurking in the bottom lane for less than ten seconds when Condi's Lee Sin appeared on screen.

The Lee Sin's position was extremely dangerous, appearing directly behind and to the side of QG's bot lane duo. All he had to do was ward-hop and slam the ground, and at least one of QG's players would die!

But...

"Tempt them! Tempt them!" Xiangguo shouted in the voice chat!

Shi Senming was quick to understand. Lulu pretended to be selling herself and even turned around to give the Blind Monk a Q to slow him down.

Seeing that Lulu didn't want to leave, Condi thought, "Then I'll just kill you."

Lee Sin landed a precise Q, then charged in with his second E!

Shi Senming, however, did not run. Instead, he turned around and took a step, leading the blind monk to the edge of the bushes.

Lee Sin's Q skill didn't even have a chance to reach Lulu before it was interrupted by Rek'Sai's right-click!

Condi's expression changed.

Uzi stopped pretending at this point, and Varus immediately turned around, hitting Lee Sin with EA!

Shi Senming then followed up with a hex, and finally the Excavator used an E, Varus used a Q, and the Lee Sin got the kill!

"Awesome!" Xiangguo shouted first in celebration, "That counter-gank was great!"

These words drew sidelong glances from the people around him.

Dude, aren't you the jungler? Who are you praising for your counter-ganking?

Chen Dongqing, standing on the road, smiled happily upon seeing this scene.

Condi dying in the bottom lane is actually good for him.

He was at 75% rage level, and he was holding a low-health siege minion to prevent the enemy from finishing it off.

957 was obviously not happy about it. Gragas stepped forward the moment the cannon minion was low on health and used his Q skill!

But at the same time, Chen Dongqing used the ranged minion at his rear as a stepping stone, used his E skill to get close to the enemy, and overlapped with the Gragas to launch a basic attack first!

957 tried to escape with an E, but the crocodile already had its blade in its mouth. His E only sent the crocodile flying a short distance!

After the crocodile woke up, he immediately raised his hand, used a red-rage W to bite the enemy, followed by an A and a second E to continue blocking the enemy's position, chasing and A twice, and then finished off the enemy with a Q after red-rage reappeared, resulting in a perfect exchange of health!

At this point, the barrel only had one-third of its health remaining.

Chen Dongqing mentally assessed the situation, nodded, and turned back to continue pushing the lane while building up rage.

The meaning is obvious: tower diving.

The barrel's health is already close to kill.

Seeing this, 957 couldn't help but sigh, returned to the city, and used the teleportation ability to log back in.

Chen Dongqing saw that the opponent had indeed used their T skill, grinned, pushed the lane into the tower, and then recalled to base to heal.

The teleport has already been triggered. All we need to do is kill the Gragas once more, and the top lane laning phase will be over.

Unfortunately, Xiangguo had to gank the bottom lane at this point and couldn't get to the top lane for a while.

Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry; he could just wait.

It takes five minutes to teleport, but I can't get here now, I'll be here in two minutes.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dongqing didn't get to see Xiangguo, but instead got to see Gao Dewei.

As the creator of the nickname "Greek Nest," Wei Shen has a real knack for controlling Xi Ye.

In the mid lane, he played Orianna against Syndra and although he was slightly at a disadvantage, he didn't lose a single CS.

Within six minutes, he returned to base early to replenish his health and mana, then teleported back online, using his health advantage to force Syndra back to base.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xiye was still teleporting back to base, Gao Dewei disappeared from sight and headed straight for the top lane!

Chen Dongqing pushed the line into the tower.

After entering the tower, Chen Dongqing immediately "oue" grew bigger, and then bit down with a W!

Taking advantage of the 1.5-second control effect of Red Fury W, Gao Dewei used QRW to attack, and the two of them dealt full control and damage, killing Gragas on the spot!

The road has been cleared!

The plot is almost identical to the last one.

In less than ten minutes, both the top and bottom lanes of WE collapsed simultaneously, creating huge gaps in their defenses.

This caused Condi and Xiye immense suffering.

Where did you guys get such a fast pace?

Fortunately, the deficit in this game wasn't as large as in the last one. In the last game, the score was 0-8 after ten minutes, while in this game, it was only 0-3 after eight minutes.

Although WE is at a disadvantage, they can still barely hold on.

The game started slowly and progressed backwards.

Although QG's offensive in this game wasn't as impressive as in the previous one, they were steadily expanding their advantage.

At this time, in a certain place in Shanghai.

Luwei was live-streaming, watching the match unfold before her.

"Ugh, this game's so boring," Luwei exclaimed. "WE's playing too cautiously this game, neither side's getting any kills?"

Beside him, Ma Fei waved his hand and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Who dares to engage in team fights with QG? If WE drags this out to 35 minutes, then they might actually have a chance."

The match quickly reached the 32-minute mark.

With four dragons in hand and the Baron buff, QG headed straight for WE's high ground.

At this point, the kill score was 13-5. Although WE was at a disadvantage, they did manage to hold on to the situation.

At least their two core items have reached the three-piece set.

Next, all they need to do is hold onto this dragon, and victory could be theirs!

Just then, Xiye, who had been silent for the entire game, seized the opportunity.

With the Baron buff, Uzi's Varus bravely went forward to attack the tower.

At this moment, Condi's Lee Sin appeared from the side, immediately attracting all of QG's attention.

Uzi can't afford to get hit by Lee Sin's Roundhouse Kick.

However, they did not notice that Xi Ye was already itching to make a move.

Syndra used W skill to grab a dark orb, and Xiye seized the opportunity when QG's formation contracted. Syndra decisively flashed in and quickly unleashed four skills: WQRE!

This was a move called "Scattering Flowers," where five magic orbs were quickly launched, creating a near-explosive crowd control effect!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, 957 Gragas used his E skill to move forward and unleashed his R [Explosive Gragas]!

With one explosion, QG's formation was instantly split apart.

Chen Dongqing was the one who was blown away. When his ultimate skill landed, the two sides were already locked in a fierce battle.

Uzi was blasted back into the WE crowd, but Shi Senming reacted quickly, flashing over and immediately casting his ultimate on the low-health Varus.

Uzi immediately healed and flashed to a safe position, used his ultimate to stun the nearby Lee Sin, and then unleashed a barrage of arrows!

Varus, with low health, managed to deal damage for two seconds using the Ardent Censer, bringing both Gragas and Lee Sin to half health before being taken down by Kalista's E.

WE pressed their advantage and set their sights on Gouderway.

Gordway countered with a QR combo, grappling Syndra and Janna together in the distance!

The damage from the three-piece set is absolutely explosive; one combo can almost instantly wipe out the health bars of two people!

The next second, Godway was also taken down by a spear thrust from the skateboard shoes.

"The situation has become 3v3, but QG is missing both of their carries, so their damage output seems a bit lacking! My brother-in-law is chasing after Xiangguo and Xiaoming, and Shuge is here too!" Wang Duoduo's voice was quite anxious!

At this moment, the shouts from all sides in the QG voice channel were quite frightening.

"Can we fight? Can we fight?" Xiangguo shouted in the voice chat.

Chen Dongqing activated his ultimate skill and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, wait until I get close, then you flash in front of him!"

He is now equipped with a very luxurious set of items: Black Cleaver, Bloodthirster, and Guardian Angel, which maximizes his team fight attributes.

As soon as the enraged crocodile approached, Xiangguo immediately seized the opportunity, flashed back, and used his W to knock the Kalista away!

But unfortunately, Lee Sin still has a powerful move.

"Echo!"

Condi delivered a flying kick, sending the excavator flying away, while Chen Dongqing was blocked by the barrel-shaped object.

The brother-in-law used Flash to move away from the crocodile but closer to the excavator and Lulu. The skater used two basic attacks to severely damage the excavator, and then used one basic attack on Lulu, instantly drawing her spear!

He killed one person, then chased Lulu and attacked her twice with an A, followed by an E.

"Quadra kill!"

Brother-in-law, a quadra kill!

QG was suddenly left with only Crocodile in the arena!

"Is he going for a pentakill, brother-in-law!" Colonel Guan shouted over the voice chat. "With Gragas' Q skill sticking to him, it looks like Tree Bro isn't going to escape either!"

The WE voice channel was filled with excitement.

"Pentakill! Pentakill!" 957 shouted repeatedly in the voice chat as the half-health Gragas and Condi's half-health Lee Sin chased after the Renekton and attacked him relentlessly!

Chen Dongqing turned around and used Q to reduce the health of the two, but he didn't focus on the two with low health. He wanted to turn around and kill the skateboarder, but he couldn't find an opportunity.

Soon, Chen Dongqing was beaten until his hands bled, and then the skateboard shoe used another E skill, which also emptied the crocodile's health bar.

At this point, the resurrection item takes effect, and the crocodile enters a resurrected state.

The brother-in-law smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.

With the resurrection item being triggered, the crocodile was severely weakened.

If he gets that pentakill, his economy will surpass Varus's.

The chance to turn things around has arrived!

Just as I was thinking this, the countdown to the crocodile's resurrection was about to come to an end.

The brother-in-law pressed his Q skill and shot towards the crocodile!

At the same time, 957 also used an E to get up and flew towards the crocodile!

But at that very moment, Chen Dongqing pressed D countless times.

The crocodile actually used Flash to dodge Gragas's fatal charge!

At the same time, he arrived on the skateboard shoe's face with a red rage!

The cheers from the audience froze for a moment!

The crocodile A followed by W, with its red rage buff, bit the Kalista. The crocodile with three items had very high attack power, and with the red rage buff, the Kalista's health dropped steadily!

Chen Dongqing didn't want to waste any more damage on the skateboard shoes, so he made one last auto-attack, followed by a dash!

The crocodile burrowed between the three enemy players and returned to Red Fury!

【Tyrant's Frenzy】!

One Q attack and the skateboarder's health bar was instantly emptied!

Incidentally, the health of Gragas and Lee Sin also dropped significantly!

Chen Dongqing used his second E skill [straight charge], followed by a basic attack, and the Lee Sin died simultaneously.

3 against 1, instantly becomes 1 vs 1!

Moreover, it's a crocodile with almost half health against a barrel with only a sliver of health left!

Chen Dongqing grinned and pressed T. A Teemo appeared above his head, giving his opponent a thumbs up, before chasing after him and launching a basic attack.

"Triple kill!"

"ACE!"

Two voices rang out one after the other throughout the venue!

Chen Dongqing alone turned the tide of the nearly defeated team battle!
