Chapter 131: Son of a bitch!

~5 min read 962 words

The double flank looked a bit risky, but Firrrrrre endured Thresh's harmless attack, cleared this ward, and then flew up!!

In the frame, Firrrrrre's Elise was clearing wards.

And SPY's mid/jungle was nearby.

Spider ward placement diagram.

The caster's shouts and the audience's gasps came simultaneously from the scene.

Even though he had seen countless similar scenes while studying G2 footage, when he again witnessed this live in the broadcast, YamatoCannon couldn't help but feel his heart pound.

"Firrrrrre's target was Viktor! Sencux immediately set up a Gravity Field in front of himself! But he didn't catch him! He slipped away! Jeez!"

"Perkz immediately turned to follow up, SPY didn't dare chase anymore, what a shame, Firrrrrre was literally dancing on the blade's edge."

"In spider form, Elise's movement speed was still fairly fast, and he had tier 2 boots, so he simply walked out of the Gravity Field's range—it's truly a shame, this was actually a great opportunity, but SPY truly lacked strong tools to hold someone, so even with the chance right in front of them, they could only watch him slip away..."

Hehe...

YamatoCannon practically wanted to laugh.

Is the spider's movement speed fast?

Lacking tools to hold someone?

You guys, do you even understand the match?!

Try letting someone else attempt this play? Pure feeding! Pure feeding, do you get it?!

Absolutely dead to the point of no return!!

YamatoCannon could see clearly that at the moment Sencux placed the Gravity Field, Firrrrrre's spider made a tiny adjustment to its movement direction—

Viktor's W skill 【Gravity Field】 affects a circular area, and Firrrrrre's slight adjustment was to choose the shortest path to the circle's edge.

This is the key factor allowing the spider to quickly leave the 【Gravity Field】 range despite its greatly reduced movement speed; otherwise he would surely be stunned and held by the field.

In other words, the main reason SPY's mid/jungle fail to catch Firrrrrre was his godlike reaction speed—he instantly chose the shortest escape route and executed it precisely the moment Viktor laid down the Gravity Field.

In today's Europe Region, many people describe Firrrrrre as 'reckless killing', 'very awesome', 'god-tier jungler', and similar praise.

If you ask them why.

They'll look bewildered, and most can't explain why.

Those who understand the game would say things like 'insane calculation ability', 'god-like vision and smell', and can give you many practical examples.

This is the impression most people have of Firrrrrre.

Because this is indeed Firrrrrre's most outstanding trait, to the point that almost everyone overlooks his most terrifying talent:

His mechanics.

That's right, Firrrrrre rarely shows off flashy mechanics; what people remember most about him are probably a few regular-season games where he played the Mang Seng, as if he only becomes exceptionally skilled when he has the Mang Seng.

——Is that really the case?

If someone asks YamatoCannon, he would advise them to study Firrrrrre's first-person perspective broadcast footage at eight-times slow motion.

Then he would discover a frightening phenomenon:

Firrrrrre's fine micro-control is ingrained in his bones.

For example, many people see Michael Jackson and think even his walking is dancing, attributing it to his good physique and bone structure, then overlook that it's actually a natural habit born from extraordinarily deep fundamentals.

Firrrrrre is the same.

He rarely deliberately attempts flashy plays; he constantly performs fine micro-control, making his actions more reasonable.

——Or, in Firrrrrre's own words, this is called higher cost-performance.

This is what makes Firrrrrre the strongest player, and also his most valuable strength as a professional, because it's pure talent that others cannot learn.

YamatoCannon really envies Ka Lao Si.

This guy seems like an idiot, yet he constantly receives the Goddess of Luck's favor, as if all the top players in Europe were bewitched into joining his ranks—could this guy actually have a succubus physique?! Son of a bitch!

The director's view switched to the top lane.

Wunder's Rumble was poked twice by Giant's Belt Nautilus, dropping to low health, forcing him to recall; Nautilus then began hitting SPY's second top tower, already half destroyed.

Meanwhile, Firrrrrre's spider was coming from the jungle; the entire upper half of the map had only two blue wards, and SPY hadn't noticed his presence.

Wunder's Rumble came down from high ground, sprayed fire and charged up, quickly clearing the minion wave before the tower, but the nearly full-rage Nautilus didn't retreat; instead he tanked the tower and charged up to hit someone.

Wunder sensed impending danger, used his W to run toward high ground.

Elise emerged from the mist at the side jungle exit.

Wunder had actually become numb, his heart calm; a minion wave just came down from high ground, so Wunder ran toward high ground under its cover.

Nautilus was tanking the tower in pursuit behind, his rage maxed, but he seemed reluctant to flash, so he didn't rush to act.

Elise wanted to act, but the minion wave would block her abilities.

If Nautilus still didn't flash, Wunder thought he could survive.

But just at this moment—

"Firrrrrre made a move! Holy crap! An astonishing E that pierced through the minions! It precisely hit Wunder on the other side of the wave!!

"Wunder was rooted in place, unable to move! Island used a 【Stomp】 to jump in and follow up with his ultimate, directly pushing Wunder against the wall!

"Firrrrrre dove in!

"Wunder was instantly vaporized!

"But Trashy's Thresh finally arrived!

"Island had taken too much tower damage and was low on health, definitely couldn't escape, so he deliberately ran into Trashy's face! Firrrrrre decisively gave up on Nautilus and retreated to the jungle!

"Trashy quickly took Nautilus's kill and kept chasing into the jungle! At the same time, Viktor also came from mid to flank!
