League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 370 Weren't you very fierce last time?

Half an hour later.

The QG team walked back into the lounge, their brows furrowed with deep sorrow.

At that moment, the MVP of the game was being announced on the TV in the lounge.

FPX.Doinb.

Kled's 6-0-10 score, 88.9% teamfight participation rate, and 24.1% damage share highlight his dominance in the game.

Big B went on a rampage in this game. First, he cooperated with the jungler to kill Gao Dewei. Then, while waiting to recall at level six to buy equipment, he used his ultimate to kick the bottom lane, catching Uzi off guard!

With a 2-0 lead in six minutes and Tiamat in hand, Kled's threat range can extend to the entire map.

In this situation, even though Chen Dongqing had a lane advantage, he didn't dare to pressure his opponent and could only let the lane go.

Even so, FPX had no intention of letting him go. With Kled's next ultimate, Chen Dongqing died tragically under the tower, with no way to stop him.

Xiangguo's play was incredibly clever. He ganked bot lane and, with the help of Gao Dewei's teleport, executed a four-man gank on FPX's bot lane duo, killing them. Uzi then pushed down the bot lane tower.

But this did nothing to salvage the situation.

The fundamental problem in this game is that Kled is too fed and difficult to stop.

Doinb is not only unafraid of Uzi switching lanes in the mid lane, but he is actually eager for it.

Liu Qingsong first invaded the jungle with Doinb and Clid, stealing the F6 camp while leaving a ward behind. After Zoom used a teleport pack, he coordinated with Kled's frontal charge to kill Uzi, Xiaoming, and Xiangguo together.

The two sides continued to skirmish, with QG managing to rack up a few kills, but they couldn't find a way to turn the tide and ultimately succumbed at 29 minutes.

When Godwin returned, he said helplessly, "I didn't expect Kled to be so strong on the other side this game. I played too carelessly."

If I hadn't been killed so easily at the start, the game might have been much better.

"It's okay, don't blame yourself too much." Banbazi also took the blame: "The draft was also problematic in this game. I shouldn't have picked Malzahar for you, and the Jayce pick for top lane was also bad."

Chen Dongqing was already lying on the sofa, eating a banana as he said, "Looks like we can't underestimate Coins after all. They're pretty strong. They're definitely much better than they were in the LPL playoffs."

During the playoffs, QG swept FPX 3-0, completely dominating them.

FPX's growth in the past two months has been remarkable.

"Then we can't let our guard down even more," Linko said seriously from the side. "If he can beat us once, he can beat us three times. So we must stay focused!"

The QG members all nodded, indicating that they understood Linko's words.

But if you ask them if they're nervous...

I'm not nervous at all.

Why are you so nervous about losing just one game?

Banbazi observed the team members' condition and nodded in satisfaction.

This is the best state.

"Let's talk about the draft for the next game then," Banbazi said. "Can we handle Kled?"

Banbazi asked this question to Godwin.

"We can't handle it." Gao Dewei didn't argue and said directly, "Ban it."

"Huh? Really?" Chen Dongqing laughed, "You're already chickening out?"

"Who said I'm a coward?" Godway said dismissively. "What I mean is, let his Rambo out, I can handle it."

Despite a minor setback in the last game, where he was eliminated as the MVP in his matchup, Dwyane Wade's words remained arrogant.

He will definitely come back in the next game.

Amid cheers and the watchful eyes of the audience, both contestants took to the stage for the third time.

When Chen Dongqing went on stage, he glanced at the FPX players.

As you can see, all five FPX players who just won the game had smiles on their faces, especially Doinb, whose mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

They're incredibly arrogant.

Chen Dongqing smiled to himself.

Laugh all you want, but your happiness won't last long.

Both players took their seats, and after a brief preparation, the draft phase began!

Upon seeing this, Guan Zeyuan immediately perked up and shouted, "Alright, welcome back! This is the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center. QG and FPX are currently tied 1-1, and the match has reached the decisive battle!"

"FPX, having the right to choose sides, chose a position on the blue side in this game, keeping the positions unchanged for both sides!"

I remember exchanging a glance with my partner before continuing, "We can see that both sides are moving very quickly in the draft phase; there aren't many changes!"

"On the blue side, FPX still banned Caitlyn, Camille, and Fiora, unchanged from the previous game!"

"As for QG, they made slight adjustments to their bans. This time, they directly banned Kled first, refusing to be stubborn! Then they also banned Kalista and Leona!"

"Does banning Kled mean giving up Rumble? That doesn't make sense," Guan Zeyuan wondered. "Doinb seems to prefer Rumble, and his win rate with him is very high! Does QG have a way to deal with Rumble?"

"Let's keep watching," Colonel Guan replied, arms crossed. "It should be manageable."

At this point, both sides entered the selection phase.

FPX stuck to their strategy: first pick Rakan.

QG is using the same strategy: cut off Xayah, then steal the Prince.

FPX has added another rat.

Up to this point, both sides have made the same choices as in the previous game.

It wasn't until FPX's third pick, when Doinb chose Rumble, that the draft took a completely different turn.

What champions does Gao Dewei plan to use to counter Rumble?

Without a doubt, it can only be his signature move, the Moon Goddess!

On the third floor, Gao Dewei immediately locked in his hero, and then he heard Chen Dongqing say, "Gouwei, if the mid lane gets crushed again this game, you'll be completely ruined, you know what I mean?"

Doinb's victory over QG, especially the MidGAP-style victory, was a huge moment!

It's fine if he plays one game occasionally, but if he plays two, then there will be big problems. Gao Dewei might be driven to PUBG by the crazy QG and FPX fans.

"Heh." Gao Dewei couldn't stand the provocation and arrogantly said, "If he can roam even once this game, I'll admit defeat!"

"I'll go!" With this promise, Chen Dongqing felt much more at ease.

He still believes in Godway's "Moonlight" prediction; it's an old trick of his.

Next, both sides continued to advance their drafts and bans rapidly.

With an AP champion already in the mid lane, Zoom adjusted their pick accordingly and chose Gnar.

Upon seeing this choice, Chen Dongqing instantly had the answer in his mind.

Swift Swordsman, locked on!

"It really is Yasuo!" Colonel Guan's tone carried a hint of surprise. "This is the champion that Brother Shu chose when he faced SSG in Chicago last year. He was also laning against Gnar and ultimately got a pentakill!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers, clearly impressed by the match.

Last year, Yasuo utterly crushed Samsung!

Inside a hotel in Guangzhou, Cuvee, watching the game, recalled some unpleasant memories as she looked at the scene before her.

At this point, the lineups for both sides were officially finalized!

Blue side FPX: Top lane Gnar, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Rumble, Bot lane Twitch and Garen.

Red team QG: Top lane Yasuo, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Diana, Bot lane Xayah and Janna.

Looking at the lineups on both sides, it goes without saying that the two commentators know how bloody today will be.

There wasn't a single ranged fighter in either of the upper halves of the map; they were all melee fighters. Wouldn't that make them all jump out of their heads?

The start of the game for both junglers confirmed this – they both started in the bottom half of the map and farmed upwards in a uniform manner.

Yasuo vs. Gnar is a 90/10 matchup, and Xiangguo understands this, so his Jarvan IV immediately went up to dive the tower.

Clid knew that Xiangguo understood this, so he had to go top lane to counter-gank.

Although going for a reverse squat will result in his upper half of the box being completely destroyed, he still has to do it.

And things are indeed developing in the direction both sides expected.

Xiangguo quickly reached level 3 in the jungle and then went straight into FPX's top jungle area, where he indeed found Clid's Sejuani attacking the Gromp.

As soon as I got there, I saw that Sejuani used Smite on Gromp, leveling it up to level three.

"Piggy Girl on top!" Xiangguo simply left behind this sentence, and then used an EQ move to attack her!

A double knock-up followed by a W deceleration and a flurry of attacks!

This version of Jarvan IV uses the Fervor of Battle talent build, making him virtually invincible in jungle skirmishes when he gets the first move!

Clid was immediately driven to flee in terror, not even daring to wait for his teammates' support, and ran straight to the second tower!

If it were the previous game, and Doinb had picked Kled, then Xiangguo definitely wouldn't have dared to invade the jungle like that, because he would most likely have been killed by Kled.

But in this game, when Doinb picked Rumble, the situation was different.

Gao Dewei's Diana started with W at level 1 and pushed the lane directly with her passive, leaving Doinb's Rumble with no chance!

Needless to say, those in the top lane can never help the jungle.

In this situation, Clid was beaten down to half health by the prince all the way until he ran back to the second tower before he finally stopped.

Seeing this, Xiangguo knew he couldn't get past them, so he simply turned back and started attacking Clid's three wolves!

Seeing this situation, Clid felt extremely distressed. He dared not leave the top lane, nor did he dare to go up and fight the prince. He was caught in an awkward position.

In the end, Doinb forcibly abandoned the minion wave to come and support, giving Clid an opportunity to get close and steal jungle monsters.

But Xiangguo played very steadily, using an A-Smite to take down the big wolf, and then smoothly used EQ to pass through the encirclement of the two opponents and leave!

On the road, Chen Dongqing looked at the scene and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the tower dive didn't succeed, the jungle dominance they achieved is enough.

Nodding, Chen Dongqing took a step forward, and a wind wall blocked Gnar's basic attack.

At the same time, the defensive towers attacked, and the siege engine soldiers were killed.

"!!!" Zoom watched this scene, and some images flashed through his mind.

Last year, when Chen Dongqing's Yasuo got a pentakill on Samsung's head, Zoom was also one of the loyal viewers. Of course, he had also seen the scene of Chen Dongqing relentlessly tormenting Cuvee's Gnar with the Wind Wall.

But he certainly couldn't have imagined that just one year later, this tragedy would befall him.

Once the wind wall disappeared, Zoom gritted his teeth and pushed the minion wave back. Then he watched as Yasuo slid around in front of him, dodging his boomerang with an E, and then using his E to face him and chase him down for a flurry of attacks!

Zoom was also utterly helpless against the attacks and was forced back to his tower.

Zoom really doesn't understand why this person, who never plays Yasuo in ranked games, always carries when he picks him.

Is it really just something to show off at the World Championship every year?

Chen Dongqing had absolutely no pressure in the laning phase this game. He quickly pushed the minion wave into the tower, and then asked in voice chat, "Can the top laner still tower dive?"

"No time," Xiangguo said. "I need to gank Bozhong; the minion wave is about to push back."

"OK." Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry. He pushed the minion wave into the tower, then pushed it back and switched screens to look at the mid lane.

In the mid lane, after the minion wave was pushed into the tower by Gao Dewei, it has been pushed out by Doinb, and a wave of pushback is forming.

Xiangguo seized this opportunity. With Gao Dewei's information, Xiangguo circled around to the unguarded bottom river, rushed out from the river, and used an EQ combo!

Doinb knew that if he took that EQ combo, he would die, so he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to press Flash!

A golden light flashed.

But what followed was another golden light!

Xiangguo used an EQ flash to forcefully follow up and knocked Rumble into the air!

"Holy crap, I can't keep up!" Even Gordway was shocked by this move. After thinking for a moment, he decisively followed up with an E-Flash and pulled Rumble back!

QG's mid and jungle players took advantage of Diana's E skill slow to relentlessly chase and auto-attack, and then Diana finished off the enemy with a Q, securing the first blood!

"First blood!"

"Whoosh!" Xiangguo roared after completing a brilliant gank, then exclaimed, "Brothers, wasn't that EQ flash cool?!"

"Awesome! Awesome!" Chen Dongqing offered his sincere praise.

He could sense that Xiangguo was becoming more and more confident in this world championship.

The reverse EQ in the quarterfinals, and now the predicted EQ flash, these are all plays that require a high level of confidence to execute.

2017 was the peak year for Xiangguo, truly the world's number one jungler, a fact that will never change in any world.

Xiangguo then asked Gao Dewei beside him, "Gouwei, is getting a flash and first blood enough for you?"

"That's enough," Godway said confidently. "Once I reach level six, I'll kill him again!"

Xiangguo nodded: "Okay, I'll help you with the CET-6 exam."

At this point, four and a half minutes had passed, and Level 6 was not far off.

A minute later, Godway looked at the two experience bars he was still short of reaching level six and started brainstorming.

Diana has a strategy for solo kills as she approaches level 6 from level 5, and Godve is looking for the right opportunity.

At this point, two melee soldiers had reached half health.

Gordway uses his passive ability on a melee minion, then uses his Q!

The Q skill draws a crescent moon, killing a melee minion while accurately hitting Rumble!

Doinb was shocked when he saw this scene. He immediately retreated and pulled away, fearing that Diana would rise to level six and rush into his face!

Fortunately, although Diana killed the minion with her Q, her experience bar still seemed to be a little short, and she did not reach level six.

Moreover, Diana didn't seem to be aiming for level 6, and just stood there finishing off enemies.

Doinb felt a little relieved. Rumble took two steps back and finished off a melee minion with a harpoon.

He's currently at full health with his W buff, and he also has 450 magic resistance, so he's practically impossible to kill.

As soon as she finished speaking, Diana, who hadn't been last-hitting the enemy, suddenly sped up, unleashing one basic attack followed by two, and finished off the half-health melee minion in front of her.

hum!

A beam of light illuminated as the Moon officially reached level six!

On Rumble, the Moonlight effect from Diana's Q hit is also coming to an end!

Godve quickly invested his skill points into his ultimate ability and then charged straight in!

Just before the moonlight disappeared, Diana rushed towards Rumble, refreshing her ultimate, and then a passive attack struck him!

GoDeWei pressed W, followed up with three auto attacks, then used E to pull back and continued to chase with basic attacks!

A Rumble with full health and his W ability is indeed very difficult to kill; Diana's combo alone is definitely not enough to finish him off.

So Gao Dewei made a special design: he timed his charge at the end of the first Q refresh effect, using the passive stacked from last-hitting minions to charge in, thus allowing him to unleash a second QR combo!

Diana chased Rumble all the way to the first tower, and at that moment, Diana's second Q skill was on cooldown!

Clid's Sejuani arrived late, hoping to save her teammate, but a Jarvan IV also arrived just in time and knocked her away with an EQ combo!

Godve landed a Q, then charged in with R, hit with a basic attack, followed by another R and a basic attack with his passive, easily securing a solo kill!

"Nice! Great solo kill!" Xiangguo praised enthusiastically, and he even got an assist because of the [Dezhou Flag]!

Doinb, who died under the tower, was stunned for a few seconds before he understood Gao Dewei's solo kill strategy, and was immediately frustrated.

You think you can kill a Rambo as tanky as me? That doesn't make sense!

Left with no other option, Doinb used all his money to upgrade his low magic resistance items into Mercury's Treads.

Doinb looked at his 0-2 score and felt a pang of sadness.

This match is going to be tough.

But little did he know that his miserable days were only just beginning.

The time has reached 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

Doinb had only been online for a short time when he saw Gao Dewei charge straight in with his ultimate!

A sense of foreboding flashed through Doinb's mind.

No way?

He was in such a rush to go online that he hadn't had time to set up his vision.

The next instant, Diana unleashed Luna's Descent, using her E to pull Rumble out and knock him up!

"Toria, you're in pain!"

In the river, a Wind Swordsman teleported to Rambo's side and landed a knock-up!

At the same time, a prince appeared from a distance, used EQ to close the distance, and W to slow him down!

QG's top, mid, and jungle trio rushed in and had almost no skills left, but their basic attacks alone were enough to kill Rumble!

Finally, Yasuo unleashed his Steel Tempest, securing another kill on Rumble!

"Awesome!" A joyful shout rang out in QG's voice chat.

Weren't you very strong last time?

Weren't you laughing happily?

This will kill you three times in seven minutes, is that enough?

I wrote about 5,000 words today. The pace will pick up in the upcoming matches; I expect to finish in two chapters.
