She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

Luan Ming seemed oblivious to the barrage of question marks directed at him, and continued to chatter on and on.

"It's best to be rational and not go. There's a high chance you won't be able to use your ultimate, unless you go down into the dragon pit and use it instantly. But even then, you'll be killed immediately after the ultimate ends. The Lamb's Breath ability heals the dragon, raising the kill threshold, making it almost impossible to steal it."

"The best option is to wait for your teammates to respawn and defend for a wave. If you can hold out until the Baron buff, you still have a chance to fight, at most it will be even. Otherwise, if you give away the 700 gold bounty on your body, or even lose Mordekaiser's 500 gold, you can say that this game is over!"

"..."

Su Mu saw the female warrior guarding above the dragon pit, her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly as she pondered.

"Let go of the lord, the sheep, the pigeon, the eight-ling-si, Wu?" Bai Wei asked succinctly.

Su Mu remained silent, still considering the pros and cons and the possibilities of the operation.

Ever since Deng Jiayu and the other two were killed, the voice channel has only contained the voices of the two of them.

Deng Jiayu and the others were filled with self-blame and regret. They had just been ambushed because they hadn't heeded their commander's warnings.

Although Su Mu only gave a warning exclamation mark as a reminder and did not stop her, tacitly agreeing that she could go to provide support, she was right in the end.

In esports, you absolutely cannot take chances, even if that decision is at most a risky one.

"beat!"

In less than two seconds, Su Mu gave only a single, simple word.

Not a single drop can be put in.

Bai Wei took a shallow breath in through her nostrils, then slowly exhaled, her eyes gradually becoming sharp.

In critical decisions, she would follow Su Mu's orders 100%, as always, no matter how absurd the decision might seem.

"The explosive fruit will respawn in 3 seconds. Flash over and use it to explode!"

With time running out, Bai Wei started counting down in her mind after hearing Su Mu's words. She then decisively used Flash to reach the side of the somewhat bewildered Leona, instantly detonating the newly spawned Blast Cone. As she bounced into the Dragon Pit, she also blasted the Leona, who was in the wrong position, to the other side.

The people in the dragon pit were stunned for a moment when they saw the two formidable enemies bounce down, and then their expressions changed slightly.

Tulip instinctively tried to create distance to prevent Iron Man from using his ultimate ability, but he was a beat too slow and was struck by Iron Man's massive hammer, entering the Dead Man's Realm of Reincarnation for a 1v1 duel.

"Stop! Stop!"

"Quickly kill the dragon!"

"Qianjue, Qianjue, Qianjue!"

"Hit it quickly!"

The RT team's voice chat became chaotic, with some wanting to stop fighting and focus on killing enemies, while others wanted to prioritize taking down the dragon.

Of course, most people know that (six) Ling Shansi Babo can fight because the dragon still has more than two thousand health. Without jungle, it is almost impossible to steal the kill from Kindred. Priority is given to killing.

Youzi just happened to have a yellow card in his hand, and accurately used it to attack Kindred.

But she didn't expect, and neither did the others, that Qianjue would activate her stopwatch and enter an invincible state just before being stunned by the yellow card.

Leona's ultimate was a beat too slow, failing to provide an initiating control to lock down Kindred, and the others didn't have any instant strong crowd control to prevent the enemy from attacking.

"Longlonglongbasanlinjiulinqijiuwu!"

"Attack now!"

Kindred activated Stopwatch, and the rest of the team immediately switched their focus to Baron Nashor, hoping to take it down in those 2.5 seconds.

TYM intended to use Zenith Blade to end Kindred's Zhonya's Hourglass and get them over the wall, and they almost did, but they couldn't stop Kindred from using their ultimate, Lamb's Respite. The moment Kindred used their ultimate, the remaining health of Baron left countless viewers speechless...

Only 624 points!

This is a big problem for RT. Rek'Sai was pulled into the dark room by Mordekaiser and didn't get any Smite. As long as Kindred waits for Lamb's Breath to end and then immediately uses Smite on Baron, even if Baron recovers 300 health because of Lamb's Breath, it can still be killed.

The only variable is whether Rek'Sai can hold out until then to resurrect and smite Baron Nashor, since Mordekaiser's ban period ends around this time.

Su Mu gave the answer in advance: No!

WLD-Sumu has killed RT-Tulip!

A fully healed Iron Man suddenly appeared in the crowd, stepping on Rek'Sai's corpse. Upon seeing this, the remaining four members of RT felt a chill run down their spines.

Kindred dealt a significant amount of damage within her brief two-second action window, and used Smite the instant her ultimate ended.

The Red Army has captured Baron Nash!

"Nice!" Su Mu shouted.

Bai Wei didn't speak; her fate was sealed, and it was up to Mu Mu to decide what to do next.

Su Mu's lips slowly curled up as he looked at the people in the dragon pit who were all in poor condition after killing their teammates, no different from looking at walking money bags.

must die!

At first, the four people in the dragon pit were thinking of focusing their fire on Iron Man and killing him instantly. However, when Angel was hit to death with a hammer and a white shield appeared on Iron Man with a full health bar, which then immediately turned green and restored his health to full, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

What's the amount of health B heals?

186. The Winner

"Fight beat!"

Even though Iron Man had recovered a full health bar, the RT players knew they still had a numerical advantage, and retreating was not an option.

but--

The output seems a bit insufficient...

With Rek'Sai and Kayle, who deal the most damage, both dead, only Twisted Fate, whose build leans towards utility, and Varus, who has a poke-style build, are left. Where can they provide stable, sustained damage?

As the game progressed, TYM was the first to realize something was wrong.

He was almost burned to death by Iron Man's passive, while Iron Man's health had just dropped by half.

"I can control it!"

Q was recovering quickly, and TYM didn't even think about pulling him away. Just as he was about to knock out the Iron Man in front of him, he noticed a large red circle appearing under his feet.

It is the active effect of redemption.

"I'll Q in 2 seconds!" Scar shouted.

As the light of redemption fell, Mordekaiser, whose health was almost depleted, regained some strength. However, a hint of joy appeared in Scar's eyes, because he was charging up his power and his W skill was ready again.

The Iron Man in front of us already has three stacks of passive ability. As long as the WQ arrow is fired, not only will Iron Man with one-fifth of his health be dead, but two-fifths will be dead as well.

The opponent had absolutely no armor equipment; their three support items only provided a negligible increase in health.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

As Scar shouted, he released the charge button, and the arrow pierced right through Iron Man's body. He seemed to see a thousand-dollar symbol appear above his head.

But is that really the case?

Seeing Varus charging up, Su Mu wasn't in a hurry at all. He calmly pressed W twice, turning the white bar into a shield and the shield into health, once again shocking countless people.

She was back to full health, and then smashed the Leona to death with a single blow.

Triple kill!

Varus's charged arrow only took away about a third of his health when it passed through his body; it was practically painless.

Seeing Mordekaiser regenerate health once again, and the support dying in the process, Youzi and Scar immediately retreated without hesitation.

It was too late to retreat now. In the end, only Twisted Fate managed to escape. Varus, due to his short legs, was pulled back and stuck by Mordekaiser's E, taking a few hits and following in the footsteps of his fallen teammate.

"Twisted Fate escaped, but not only was Baron Nashor stolen by WLD, but four people also died at Mordekaiser's hands. RT is gone!"

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder just how many ingenious ideas Su Mu has in his head. A three-support Mordekaiser build is just too terrifying. That kind of terrifying healing effect can only be matched by a fed Vladimir with five ultimates, right?"

"Even a top-tier farming werewolf is fine. Su Mu's Mordekaiser seems to have W as his secondary skill. No wonder the cooldown is so short, it seems to be less than five seconds. The healing frequency is simply outrageous... I'll open the door to outrageousness, it's outrageous to the extreme."

"The suspense remains. Just now, Kindred's 1,000 gold kill was also taken by Kayle. Currently, both sides' top damage dealers are developing very well. It all depends on who performs better in team fights."

"The key is that someone needs to deal with Su Mu's Iron Man. Even if he can't shut down the Mercy, shutting down any squishy champion will make RT suffer. No one can beat him in a one-on-one fight."

"Not to mention that after WLD stole the Baron, Su Mu got four kills and now she's back home and even bought a Spirit Visage. She has four items in just 22 minutes, and her equipment slots are full. Even without using her ultimate, she can easily take on two opponents at once."

"For RT, there's a hidden problem beneath Su Mu's four-item build: After Xiao Wei's Kindred secured Baron, she had 10 stacks of the mark..."

"..."

Youzi returned to the fountain and browsed the shop, staring at the heavily damaged items, unconsciously biting her lower lip and pursing her lips.

With the Baron buff, Mordekaiser will definitely lead the resurrected players to push forward and gain a greater advantage. If our team doesn't play well, we might even be wiped out in one wave.

Angel isn't level 16 yet, so her range isn't very long. Clearing minion waves with the Baron buff is extremely difficult. Relying solely on Varus's Q and Twisted Fate's Q, it's hard to stop WLD's push.

The trickiest part is, who can handle this tough guy?

That ridiculously powerful white shield and healing mean that unless you can control the opponent and kill them in one combo, Mordekaiser's damage is practically negligible if he uses the white shield.

"Should I conjure up a giant serpent's fang?" Tulip suggested.

She even considered selling some of her equipment to exchange for it.

That Iron Man's shield is terrifying; you can't play the game without targeting it.

"It's useless. Even with the giant snake, you still can't win if the ultimate skill is used to shut you up. If it's not used, the negative effects can't be applied at all..." Youzi shook his head.

"..." Tulip frowned, and fell silent. (Part Three)

Once everyone respawned, and both sides began establishing vision control for offense and defense, the TP marker appeared on the map, and Nasus arrived at the top lane sideline. (Mio)

By this time, the dog's development had fully caught up, and it possessed Divine Split and Gargoyle Plate Armor. 600 stacks of Q weren't high, but they were at least sufficient.

A fully upgraded Wither skill, with up to 95% movement speed reduction and over 70% attack speed reduction, makes soloing an Angel incredibly easy, let alone dealing with other laners. Furthermore...

Sending two might not even kill the dog's head, sending three would mean a direct frontal assault; Karma could just unleash a barrage of shields and charge in, who would dare stop her? (Fin)

Headache.

The current situation is that we know exactly what tactics the opponent will use, but due to our disadvantage, we can only passively accept it.

Reality has dealt you a harsh blow, but you lack the resources to fight back; your finances and personnel simply don't allow it.

It's just like being a miserable office worker burdened with aging parents, young children, and mortgages, constantly facing difficulties from your boss and superiors but afraid to fight back. It's so tough.

WLD quickly pushed the mid lane minions to RT's high ground tower. The top lane Nasus fought with Kayle, forcing Kayle to use her ultimate and Flash to escape. This worsened the situation, and RT lost at least two high ground towers.

"Fire!" Su Mu suddenly marked the enemy and shouted two words.

Yi Lian's gaze sharpened, and in a flash, he predicted the enemy's movement route. The mouse pointer suddenly moved and he pressed the R key.

Magic Crystal Arrow!

The OB camera followed the sudden arrow until it accurately struck the fleeing angel—

"R hit the Angel! Nasus chased after her and killed her with two hits. Karma activated her Aegis and led the team to charge the tower and engage. The RT team quickly retreated, but it was too late. Leona was trapped by Mordekaiser who was tanking the tower!"

"Nasus crossed the top lane tower and flanked Varus. RT had nowhere to retreat but had to fight, but they couldn't win; they were too lacking in damage. Kindred single-handedly killed Varus."

"Iron Man came out, tanking the tower and dealing low damage, but a W combo instantly restored him to full health. Rek'Sai flashed and used Dark Claw to kill Ashe, but was then finished off by Kindred..."

The final battle ended exceptionally quickly; Twisted Fate, in his golden form, was waiting to die, before Mordekaiser smashed his screen to ashes with a single blow.

ACE!

"WLD's surprise attack and team fight victory have wiped out RT, giving them a chance to win the game and become the ultimate winner of this BO3!"

"Let's congratulate WLD!"

187. Interview

【Lian!】

[What a brilliant arrow! A divine prediction that sealed the victory.]

[Thorn powder is about to celebrate the New Year. Now let's see who dares to say that WLD is not a dark horse.]

【…

For many WLD fans, or rather Su Mu's fans, defeating RT means that the team has completely established itself in the LPL.

What is RT? It's a veteran powerhouse team with rosters in each division that can be described as super teams. They are capable of maintaining a top-five ranking in any competitive event.

WLD, on the other hand, has been lukewarm at best, with its team performance in several competitive games falling into the lower ranks.

Now that the LOL division team was able to defeat RT, and win in a respectable way, it would be strange if WLD fans weren't celebrating with champagne. Not celebrating at halftime is already quite restrained and respectful.

Back when the team slots were up for grabs, WLD's group might not have been very strong, but WLD was definitely the tiger that entered the flock of sheep, shattering the rumors of them snatching the group championship by surprise.

“Got it, ladies.” Su Mu smiled as she took off her headphones.
