Chapter 213: Legendary!

A loud boom rang out in the canyon.

As RNG's top turret fell, a prompt to destroy the tower appeared at the top of the game screen.

In the first five minutes of the game, both the top and middle turrets had strong defensive effects, and Liang Yan, in order to catch Looper a few more times, didn't let Lao Zhang destroy it too quickly; otherwise, this turret of RNG would have fallen long ago.

After taking down the turret, Liang Yan had Lao Zhang yield a wave of minions for him, and after eating up the minions, he returned to base.

This recall was the wave with the most gold on him, so he directly crafted a Small Demon Blade and upgraded his Boots into Armor Boots, then headed straight to Zhong Lu.

He built Armor Boots because the enemy lacked crowd control, making Mercury Treads not very worthwhile.

As for the missing magic resistance, he could later synthesize a Great Demon Blade to make up for it; next, Liang Yan's build path was to head straight for the Green Fork.

Once the top turret fell, the good times for RNG's middle and bottom lanes were over.

At ten minutes, a male gunner with one and a half items and Tier 2 boots came straight to Zhong Lu, looping from the river to drive Xiaohu's Vampire toward the enemy river.

Perkz activated his speed boost and chased, latching on.

Liang Yan followed up and finished him off with three shots.

After killing the Vampire, he relentlessly moved down, driving away Malaxiangguo, who had been guarding the river for Uzi as a bodyguard, then returned to his own jungle to linger for a while, protecting Twisted Fate while pushing the lane, waiting for the Magic Swamp Frog to spawn before starting to clear jungle monsters above.

Liang Yan also took the Blue Buff directly, and AP had no objection.

The grasshopper is just a tool; clearing lanes doesn't need blue, and in team fights it's a single combo that decides victory—there's indeed no need to take blue, and from any angle, the male gunner benefits more from taking blue.

What's more, this is a 5-0 male gunner.

He had just cleared the three wolves when Mang Seng appeared once again from behind Twisted Fate.

Needless to say, Malaxiangguo's ability to flank through vision is still impressive; he silently slipped behind Twisted Fate without anyone noticing.

For a moment, signal pings rang out across the canyon.

The moment Mang Seng appeared, Lao Zhang, who was laning top, decisively used Teleport to dive toward the bottom second turret.

However, the Teleport skill had been heavily nerfed in patch 6.13, with a channel time of up to 4.5 seconds, and G2's duo lane development was indeed poor, unable to stall for time.

Thus, when Lao Zhang arrived via Teleport, the enemy had already killed everyone.

Wawa excitedly shouted on the LPL commentary desk:

"Uzi, take another kill!!"

"Wow, Uzi, you're so fed—you should have Tier 2 boots and a completed item when you go back!!"

"Hahaha, don't rush, don't rush, take it slow—once Jhin finishes his two completed items, we'll slowly play with G2!!"

Among the EU commentary desk, the four European commentators were shocked and dismayed.

In the EU official livestream, the chat atmosphere also felt like the tide had turned—actually, at that moment G2 still led in total team gold by about two thousand……

Moreover, this wave of momentum hadn't ended yet.

Twisted Fate's dying resistance dealt significant damage to the RNG duo.

AP had already reinforced near the bottom lane river entrance.

Lao Zhang landed from the bottom second turret and gave chase forward.

"Shall we fight?"

Lao Zhang didn't act rashly, but cautiously asked in his headset:

Liang Yan had already arrived at the Five Forks; hearing this, he glanced at the minimap—although the enemy trio had vanished from sight, their position was clear: near the wreckage of the Red Side's bottom turret, and the Vampire would likely come down the small path behind the Dragon Pit……

Having assessed the situation, Liang Yan decisively issued an attack signal:

"Cut them off!"

"1v3?"

"The blind monk has no ultimate, we can fight!"

At the command, Lao Zhang directly unleashed his ultimate.

A huge red circle appeared before the three RNG members in the enemy jungle.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

Uzi and Mata each had only about half health, so nobody dared to outright take Pantheon's ultimate, and furthermore, Malaxiangguo's Mang Seng lacked an ultimate, unable to stop Pantheon's actions after he landed; this meant that once anyone entered Pantheon's skill range, at least one of the three would be taken away.

Thus, the three retreated toward the Red Side's blue buff jungle.

They literally ran straight into Liang Yan's gun barrel.

The three were still wary; before entering the brush, Mata first used a Q ability to scout the bottom lane, then placed a ward to confirm the Triangular Grass was empty, after which the three swarmed in.

At the moment Malaxiangguo led the charge into the brush, Liang Yan, hiding beside the wall corner, stepped sideways, lifted the barrel of his huge double-barreled shotgun, and aimed it at the advancing Mang Seng.

AEQR.

In the instant the fire flashed, the ultimate blast shot out toward the three.

{DoubleKill! }

{Dominating! }

{Godlike! }

The cold kill notifications came one after another.

In the blink of an eye, two members of RNG fell.

Uzi, knowing there was no escape, fired a shot at the male gunner from behind the brush, then turned and ran toward the Red Side's bottom second turret.

But that wasn't the way home.

Liang Yan placed a ward through the wall, then followed the path ahead of the Magic Swamp Frog's camp, and eventually the two inevitably met at the Five Forks.

Uzi's mechanics were indeed impressive, but facing absolute stats, any effort was futile; Liang Yan fired a smoke grenade, then a desperate move, instantly finishing off the already low-health Jhin who had been crippled by the ultimate blast.

{TribleKill! }

{Legendary! }

The male gunner who secured the triple kill officially declared himself Godlike.

A cold and solemn female voice announced to the whole venue, and the crowd instantly erupted in a huge wave of cheers, as people began to shout loudly:

"TSM!"

"TSM!"

"TSM!"

Well, this is a cheering style unique to North American audiences.

Moreover, at this point no one would bother with such details; on the European commentary desk, all four commentators stood up and, after finishing their commentary, excitedly slapped each other's palms.

On the LPL commentary desk, the three commentators fell into silence.

In the LPL livestream room, bullet comments fell like heavy snow, yet it was silent and deathly still.

The turn came so suddenly.

"This..."

Miller finally regained his voice from the shock,

"This male gunner?"

"The damage is so high."

Guan Zeyuan groaned as he added:

Wawa stared vacantly at the fleeting smile on Firrrrrre's face on the big screen, murmuring dreamily:

"Did he go godlike? In twelve minutes?"

8-0-0

All eight kills for the red side were taken by the male gunner.

No wonder he went godlike.

Next, the director gave a highlight replay of the male gunner's instant double kill.

Even in the multi‑times slow‑motion replay, the audience could still feel the lightning‑fast momentum of his combo.

On this male gunner, formidable stats and precise operation perfectly combined, thus perfectly illustrating what ultimate burst means.

In the frame, the half‑health Blind Monk was instantly killed, and behind him Jinx was also blown up by the ultimate bomb's conical explosion damage; even farther, Uzi's Ember also suffered the splash.

Two of the three health bars were instantly emptied, and the remaining one also lost a large chunk.

This is the true art of health‑bar disappearance!
