Chapter 203
The match reached 35 minutes, and ROX took the first game.
After that mistake, Changzhang was nearly invisible for the rest of the game, dealing only 5410 damage, which was 8% of the team's output, two thousand less than support Meiko.
The barrage, however, was wildly spamming Koro1.
Because Koro1's Olaf record was the worst, 1-7.
The second game was still Changzhang's solo performance. This time he didn't play Olaf, but switched to a faster champion with a dash ultimate, the centaur. However, his centaur seemed to have its R key tampered with before teamfights, only pressing it again after the fight, each time opening R to flee, playing a truly fearful game of avoiding death; the only time he engaged in a big teamfight, he whiffed the ultimate at point-blank range……
This game ended in just 26 minutes.
ROX 2:0 EDG.
Although the fans kept blaming the jungler-targeted Koro1, whose record was the worst, the audience wasn't blind, and the barrage began with calls for Changzhang to retire.
In the third game, EDG secured the Dragon King + Female Sheriff composition and successfully bounced back with a win. That said, the outcome had little to do with Changzhang; it was mainly thanks to Scout and Deft playing well—almost any jungler could have won.
In the fourth game, Xiao Huasheng saw Changzhang playing Olaf poorly and, unable to bear it, specially gave Changzhang an Olaf tutorial match before sending EDG home.
Changzhang said, "Ah, thanks a lot. How about I also give a Mang Seng negative tutorial match?" Xiao Huasheng replied, "Roar! Roar!"
Thus their tutorial match began.
At eight and a half minutes into the game, Changzhang's Mang Seng began the tutorial first.
He came to the bottom lane and demonstrated to everyone what it means: even if you find the perfect gank timing and route, improper execution can lead to nothing——
With half a bar of energy, the Mang Seng emerged from the river mouth, flanked behind and caught the ROX duo pushing lane; Changzhang first used a WW eye‑poking technique, closing in on Gorilla.
Then he calmly used E, emptying his own energy.
Seeing the EDG duo rush in to damage his beloved ROX teammate, Changzhang hurriedly used the 【Saving Lives and Healing Feet】 move, sending GorillA away.
Finally, after GorillA safely retreated under the tower, Changzhang gathered some energy and fired a light wave to give the opponents a boost.
Although Liang Yan was merely revisiting a famous scene, he was also stunned by Changzhang's play.
To nail this Mang Seng negative tutorial, Changzhang painstakingly devoted himself, bearing the risk of being called a bronze player by netizens, sacrificing himself to elevate others……
Well, speaking plainly: this play would have been better left to a silver‑tier player, really.
Lao Zhang laughed again there:
"If he messed up even once this wave, ROX would lose at least one member hahahaha……"
Perkz, upon hearing that, asked Liang Yan again:
"How would you handle this wave?"
Liang Yan closed his eyes and replied:
"W eye‑poke, Q R flash A kick fan mom hit ignite Q second dash, follow up, collect head E ignite slow, then wait for teammates to clean up. Note: don't double‑W."
Clap clap clap clap!
Perkz clapped enthusiastically: "Awesome awesome, I've learned it! Next time I'll give it a try!"
Liang Yan nodded.
No joke, next year's mid‑lane Mang Seng can really be played; pull out an incense burner as a makeshift shield tool—just need hands—though I don't know if there's a monster version of the incense burner.
In the livestream, the match continued; next, Changzhang kept demonstrating to netizens what constitutes excellent Mang Seng play as a negative example—R followed by Q can whiff whatever, effortlessly.
Before the match even ended, a certain site posted a highlight reel of Changzhang's mistakes.
Following that, someone else put up a video simulating Changzhang's Mang Seng bottom‑lane gank on the ROX duo, with the creator modeling several different execution styles and their outcomes; most of the approaches, even if flawed, could still kill at least one target, while the best approach matched exactly what Liang Yan had said.
The facts prove that if Changzhang had made just one fewer mistake this wave, the enemy would have lost at least one member.
Honestly, even a bronze‑tier player could have killed them.
The result of this game was exactly as Liang Yan knew it would be—taken by ROX.
The final score of the best‑of‑five was three‑to‑one, ROX advanced to the semifinals, EDG eliminated.
After the fourth game, the director displayed the full‑match damage statistics panel.
Upon seeing the numbers, netizens noted that Changzhang's Mang Seng dealt 4396 damage overall, 9% of the team's output, the same as Meiko's support Nami.
With the same gold as a top laner, he dealt support‑level output.
Not just one game—almost every game was like that.
Looking back at Changzhang's cowardice and mistakes throughout this Bo5, even the fans could no longer whitewash him; instantly the whole internet exploded, sparking a wave of condemnation against Changzhang.
Less than an hour after the match, Changzhang topped the Weibo hot search list.
EDG's official Weibo posted a defeat notice, and netizens flocked in; as the saying goes, deep love breeds deep hatred—this time even the fans showed no mercy:
【First, Changzhang should retire……】
【Sofa, even an old blind man dares to pick me, I won't even hold the wall for you, Changzhang】
【4396, hehe……】
【Congratulations on making the yearly top eight】
【Pawn's waist was all you could hug, breaking it and sending him into the eliminations—is that how you repay him? Answer me, Mingkai! Do you still have the face to keep playing?!】
【EDG's yearly top‑eight finish is all because of this damn coin‑jungler*&%$……】
【Why only blast Changzhang? What about Promise, Nuodao, Mingkai, Anka—don't they have any faults?】
【Just asking if you don't know: is Changzhang's Mang Seng mainly W? Why no incense burner?】
【The spinning kick is impossible to land, never in this lifetime; Q never hits either—only W protecting allies can show any presence. I land Q once a year; in the finals I always miss Q, but everyone positions so well in the finals that missing Q isn't my fault—wow, I really love the finals.】
【Snake manager Zuowu's remark actually came true—not even asking for a win, just losing with dignity has become a luxury】
This is the civilized version of the comment section.
Besides that, there are other versions, such as the toilet version, the latrine version, the yin-yang weird version, and the 'hate that they don't strive' version; in short, there is no 'comfort Changzhang' version.
Even under the apology Weibo posted by Changzhang himself, it's all mocking voices, the most classic being that sentence:
【Each character eight strokes, year after year top eight】
And on Zhihu, under the question 'How to view EDG's jungler Clearlove being blamed and trending first after EDG lost 3:1 to ROX in the second match of the S6 World Championship quarterfinals?', the top-voted answer said as follows:
【Impudent!】
【Standing before you is:】
【2012 IPL5 World Finals Champion, 2014 IET, XCS, NGF, NESO, G League, Demacia Cup, LPL Spring and Summer Finals Champion, 2015 LPL Spring Season, Demacia Cup Spring, Summer, and Year-end Finals Champion, 2016 LPL Summer Finals Champion, and who reached the World Finals for three consecutive years S4, S5, S6,】
【Having countless fans worldwide——including Ba Xi professional players' fans,】
【World's No. 1 Jungler player!】
【Spicy Grain Dance!】
【Mingkai wet body allure. jpg】
【Please watch your words!】
【You ask about the World Finals results?】
【Personal results, no comment.】
The online crusade against Changzhang is intensifying.
Besides that, there are also some other voices, for example:
【Snake left, EDG also left, now only RNG remains; RNG must cheer on!】
【The day after tomorrow watch RNG pig-killing, Mingkai watch well, study well!】
【Don't worry, RNG has the best script: first trample the jumping beam clown G2, then cut down gold-plated SKT, peak showdown with ROX, achieving the R dynasty!】
Liang Yan, after watching the match and having nothing to do, scrolled to this last post on Weibo, and on a whim replied:
【Quite the dreamer, don't do that next time】
After casually finishing and posting, I didn't even realize I forgot to switch accounts.
This is Liang Yan's verified big account……
