League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 87 got rotated again? (Two chapters combined)

"Nice!"

A solo kill in the top lane is always so exhilarating, and the team voice chat immediately erupted with enthusiastic celebrations!

Even Cherish couldn't help but exclaim "Awesome!" a couple of times, and her mood seemed much more relaxed.

Although I can't beat Pawn, my top laner is dominating!

As long as you make sure your top laner is comfortable, you can easily win the game, right?

At this moment, Cherish wished he could kill himself and then give the three hundred dollars to Darius.

If all else fails, you can attack me first in the raid to build up your Bloodrage, I don't mind!

This solo kill in the top lane instantly tore a hole in EDG's otherwise relatively perfect defense.

Chen Dongqing charged straight in, using the minions empowered by the Vanguard buff to directly destroy the top lane tower!

After the first tower was destroyed, Darius didn't leave but charged straight towards the second tower!

With the Baron buff and cannon minions, it's only a matter of time before this second tower falls; it's definitely not something a Titan can defend against.

With no other option, the factory manager had to shift his focus to the top lane, but even with two heroes like Nautilus, Sejuani alone couldn't beat Darius. So he had to bring Pawn up as well, hoping to see if he could manage to kill Darius once.

But Chen Dongqing was quite cunning; he had already placed wards deep in EDG's jungle.

The moment he saw Sejuani appear in the jungle, he glanced at the map and saw that Corki was also gone. He immediately realized that the enemy might be 3v1.

He immediately made his escape, giving the factory manager no chance whatsoever, leaving him empty-handed.

Seeing this, even the factory manager couldn't help but sigh.

This top laner has an unbelievable amount of experience!

Meanwhile, in the bottom lane, after seeing Clearlove appear in the jungle, Xiangguo immediately headed towards the bottom lane.

This gank was incredibly swift and capitalized on a great opportunity.

Alistar used Flash to dodge the combo, but Deft reacted extremely quickly, using Lucian to Flash away immediately, but Gragas had already circled behind him.

Uzi forced Lucian to use his E skill, and then used his R to knock him back. There was absolutely no suspense, and Uzi finally got the kill.

Meiko, being the only remaining player, was clearly unable to defend the bottom lane turret and had no choice but to surrender it.

Seeing the team achieve consecutive successes and victory seemingly within their grasp, countless QG fans in the audience finally took control of the high ground and began to cheer!

"QG has taken down two turrets in a row! They're playing really well!" Wawa exclaimed. "After Uzi recalled, he didn't go mid as usual, but instead continued towards the bottom lane!"

Miller's understanding was pretty good. He immediately grasped QG's meaning and explained, "It seems that QG still wants to maintain their dominance in the top lane. If Uzi moves to the mid lane, EDG only needs to focus on the top and jungle areas to threaten both the top and mid lanes at the same time. This will be very difficult for QG."

"If the two sides are separated, one on top and one on the bottom, EDG might not be able to take care of everything, which could create weaknesses."

But in reality, Miller only thought of the first level; there was a second level he hadn't considered.

That's the only way to pose the biggest threat to Pawn in the mid lane!

With both top and bottom towers destroyed, QG focused their attention on the mid lane. On the bottom lane, they first used Sivir's fast wave clear to quickly push the minion wave across the river, and then Liu Qingsong's Alistar rushed to the mid lane.

His greatest strength lies in his keen sense of movement and positioning. Keeping him in the bottom lane to provide protection actually hinders his abilities.

Uzi has been under the CPU for so long that he's gotten used to it, so he doesn't have any objections to his support's roaming.

As for the top lane, Chen Dongqing, needless to say, pushed the lane and then rushed to the mid lane!

Faced with such blatant threats, EDG desperately wanted to defend the mid tower, but it was simply impossible.

Because Lulu already controls the lane, and with wave after wave of minions pushing into the tower, the mid tower's health was already low, making it quite easy to push the tower.

Of course, EDG also had a way to counter this. Clearlove first went to the mid lane to defend, and then let the bottom lane duo push the lane and attack the bottom tower.

"With both sides doing this, they've completed a tower exchange! But overall, QG still comes out on top, since they destroyed the mid tower."

Miller nodded and said, "In that case, EDG will be in a very passive position. It all depends on how QG plays their offensive rhythm."

QG's mid-game rhythm is still mainly based on the 4-1 split push strategy. It's no exaggeration to say that QG leads the entire LPL in the 4-1 split push.

Moreover, the gap between the top laners in this game was particularly large. How could a Sunfire Cape Nautilus fight against a Darius with Black Cleaver and Sterak's Gage?

EDG was being pulled back and forth endlessly, but there was nothing they could do.

I wanted to drag it out to the late game, but it felt like I couldn't keep going, given QG's aggressive offensive pace.

At the 20-minute mark, EDG had destroyed the second towers on both the top and bottom lanes, but as a result, they only managed to take down the first tower in the mid lane, resulting in an economic loss.

But at that moment, the EDG players suddenly saw that several QG players had disappeared from the map's view.

Pawn immediately made a strategic adjustment point inside the Baron pit and spotted the QG team who had just started fighting Baron.

Wawa immediately exclaimed, "It seems QG thinks their advantage is already big enough. They want to accelerate their momentum with Baron Nashor and don't want to give you, the Corki and Lucian, a chance to drag the game into the late game!"

Upon seeing this, the factory manager immediately urged his teammates to move towards the Dragon Pit.

This is their only chance. If QG takes the Baron, they will have no chance of winning!

Sejuani's ultimate in this version is still a crowd control effect, and it can control enemies instantly upon the explosion after being thrown, making it quite powerful and much stronger than champions like Malphite and Amumu.

With this overpowered ultimate ability, EDG's team fights were extremely fast. Clearlove directly Q'd to the side of the Baron pit and threw out his ultimate!

Uzi reacted quickly and activated his shield. Xiangguo stood deep in the dragon pit and survived the dragon's attack, while the other three were frozen in place!

"Deft's ultimate completely shut down three opponents! A brilliant play!" Miller, the team fight commentator, shouted, "Deft activated his ultimate from a distance! Lucian's ultimate has a huge range; they're trying to take down Lulu first!"

But Liu Qingsong was no pushover either. He used his ultimate to instantly break free from the control effect, and then the Minotaur used Flash and a double dash to charge in!

Chen Dongqing's control time with his Mercury Boots wasn't long. After waking up, he would usually charge towards the EDG camp, shouting in the voice chat, "Just attack! This wave is easy!"

Upon hearing the command, Xiangguo, inside the Dragon Pit, used his E skill to approach the battlefield and then unleashed his R skill!

This ultimate skill isn't designed to knock back the carry, but rather to divide the battlefield!

With this ultimate move, EDG's Sejuani and Braum were blasted directly into QG's crowd!

Without hesitation, Chen Dongqing unleashed a full combo of AWQ on Braum, who was nearby. Combined with his teammates' damage, they brought Braum to near-death!

"Give it to me! Give it to me!" Chen Dongqing shouted in the voice chat, but in reality, no one could beat him in this round.

Braum's shield reduces damage, making him difficult for others to damage. On the contrary, Darius's true damage strike sends Braum to his death!

"Drink!"

Seeing Darius's Bloodrage, Uzi didn't hesitate and immediately activated his ultimate ability, "Hunting Rhythm".

Meanwhile, Lulu in the mid lane also gave "Run Faster", instantly making up for Darius's weakness of not being able to use Ghost in professional matches. The movement speed is much faster than when Ghost is active!

EDG watched as a Darius, fueled by Bloodrage and with a movement speed exceeding 550, charged straight towards them!

Don't come any closer!

Deft was filled with despair. He immediately used his E to retreat, while A-Guang bravely sacrificed himself, hooking up and then using his R on Darius!

Chen Dongqing was now in a bloodthirsty frenzy, ignoring the Titan and relentlessly chasing after Lucian!

Behind him, Liu Qingsong understood Chen Dongqing's thoughts quite well. Seeing Darius fall from the sky, he immediately activated the [Ascension Amulet], providing another 40% group movement speed bonus!

This is the power of teamwork. Darius can't use Ghost in the game, but the whole team can make up for this deficiency!

After landing from the sky, he used his high speed to forcefully catch up with Lucian!

Deft flashed, and he flashed back. It was a very close call. In the last second before Bloodrage was about to disappear, he used W to finish him off!

"Blood Rage has been restored!"

At this moment, the two commentators shouted in unison, because they also knew what this meant!

After slowing Lucian down with W, Chen Dongqing used both hands to unleash another [Ruthless Iron Hand], pulling the nearby plane over as well, and then immediately began charging up [Decisive Slaughter]!

Lucian was slowed by W and used both Flash and E, while Corki was controlled by E, so his EQ combo was guaranteed to hit.

Thanks to Chen Dongqing's perfect calculations, this "killing all" move resulted in an exaggerated outer-circle sweep that hit two people simultaneously!

"Completely insane!" Xiangguo shouted again in the voice chat.

Chen Dongqing also began to strike with his knife!

First, take down Lucian with one strike!

The basic attack lowered the plane's health, and then another strike landed!

chua!

With another slash, the ultimate skill refreshed again, resulting in a triple kill!

Just then, Ah Guang's Titan approached at an inopportune moment.

Looking at the murderous maniac on the screen, A-Guang felt a pang of sorrow.

What's the point of fighting?

Chen Dongqing chuckled strangely. The Titan seemed like a piece of fat meat delivered to his mouth. With the help of his teammates, he took down one-third of the Titan's health in one combo, and then delivered a guillotine strike, separating the Titan from its head!

"Quadra kill!"

"Pentakill! Pentakill!" Xiangguo shouted in the voice chat. "Where's the last one? Where's the last one?"

One more?

At this point, the factory manager had already returned to the top lane to farm minions.

Chen Dongqing was not surprised and turned around to walk towards Dalong.

Getting a pentakill over EDG is incredibly difficult.

"The factory manager retreated quickly!" Miller exclaimed. "He preserved EDG's last spark; they weren't wiped out!"

The doll, slightly sweating, said, "But it's no use. QG immediately went to take Baron Nashor. Can we even steal it?"

Obviously, it can't.

The factory manager then tried to flank the jungle again, but was directly blocked by Liu Qingsong's Alistar, and could only watch helplessly as QG took down the Baron.

After this wave, EDG's chances of winning became extremely slim.

At 28 minutes, Chen Dongqing entered the fray again with a movement speed buff. Although he failed to land the attack this time, his Darius, with four items and three tank items, still took full damage!

Under his crossover, Uzi unleashed a barrage of attacks without any pressure, ultimately securing a decisive victory in the first game with a single, decisive push!

"Congratulations to QG for winning the first game!" Wawa announced loudly. "In this epic battle between two undefeated teams, QG has finally taken the lead!"

Miller was also very excited at this moment, and shouted: "That's right! QG's top laner, Shuge, performed consistently well in this match and is still a MVP candidate. Now, let's see if EDG can get their revenge!"

On stage, as soon as Chen Dongqing took off his headphones, he heard Miller calling him "Brother Shu," and his heart sank.

What are all these?

Do you guys think the internet speed is that fast?

He shook his head and followed his teammates back to the lounge.

As soon as he returned, he was greeted by the manager and coach on both sides of the road.

"Well done, Tree Bro!" Linko joked, "This Darius was really fun to watch, slashing away with every single strike!"

Linko also plays top lane, and his main champion is Darius. He had been fantasizing about smashing everything in a professional match for a long time, and he could only say that he was extremely immersed in this game.

Chen Dongqing didn't stand on ceremony and laughed, "Next time I'll teach you a few moves, and I guarantee you'll reach Gold rank!"

"Okay!"

The training room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, except for one person: Doinb, who was sitting in the corner.

At this moment, he looked at Chen Dongqing with a look of regret.

He was already wondering if posting that Weibo message had put him on the brink of disaster.

He had previously thought that without him, QG couldn't possibly defeat EDG, currently the strongest team in China.

But now he realizes that the team doesn't seem to need him very much.

On the other hand, compared to QG's cheerful atmosphere, EDG's rest room was more solemn.

A-Guang, who was tower-dived early on and solo-killed later, causing the team's defense to collapse, was bound to be criticized.

After speaking for a long time, Abu finally said, "Next game, Tong Yang, you go in. Yu Hao, you calm down on the sidelines."

Ah Guang's face immediately fell.

It's time for another rotation.

Immediately afterwards, Abu opened his laptop and said, "In the match just now, I've discovered a weakness in them. Let's do this in the next round."

The EDG team quickly focused their attention on Abu's plan, listened to it, and then nodded in satisfaction.

This plan is fine.

Soon, the second game began.

In this game, EDG clearly discovered QG's weakness. Although they did not have the right to choose sides and were on the red side, they actually had enough bans.

They chose to ban Kog'Maw, Lulu, and Fiora, then picked Maokai, the king of "trolls," for the top lane, and Lee Sin and LeBlanc for the mid and jungle.

Their thinking was simple: although they picked Nautilus last game and got crushed by Darius, they would pick Maokai this game, since Maokai is a champion who is not afraid of Darius at all.

First, stabilize the top lane matchup, then rely on the strong combination of Lee Sin and LeBlanc to aggressively attack the mid lane!

This is their strategy!

As it turned out, this decision was flawless. Cherish was as naive as a child in front of Clearlove and Buddha, getting caught and killed twice in just six minutes, and his mid lane was practically rendered invisible.

In the top lane, Chen Dongqing relied on Gangplank to fight Maokai. Although he gained an advantage in the laning phase, it was difficult for him to get a kill. Then, EDG's mid and jungle ganked top lane, and Maokai used Flash and W to lock down Chen Dongqing and kill him.

There was clearly no way to win this game, and QG ultimately lost in 35 minutes.

"Alright, let's congratulate EDG on winning the second game and tying the score at 1-1! They've also handed QG their first loss of the season!"

"Now, both sides are back to square one, and the decisive third set is about to begin. Let's wait and see!"

These two chapters are quite connected, so I've posted them together.
