Chapter 310: Collapse

Xiao Huasheng's stomach gave a spasm, and he finally began to retch uncontrollably; after one bout, he retched again.

This sound was especially clear in the quiet team channel.

It was as if some balance had been suddenly broken; the panic in the hearts of everyone on ROX surfaced, and their headsets instantly became noisy:

"Wang hu?!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"... Can you still fight?"

"Yes,... maybe we should surrender..."

Pray's voice was choked with sobs.

"No!"

Xiao Huasheng shouted in fear, desperately suppressing his surging urge to vomit, the veins on his right hand standing out as he gripped the mouse so hard it seemed about to burst:

"I don't want to surrender! You forgot, the fist rule forbids surrender! Otherwise we'll be punished! We have no money to pay the fine! I won't surrender, and you mustn't either!"

"I haven't lost, we haven't lost yet..."

This mental state is already not quite normal.

After a long silence, GorillA's hoarse voice responded to Xiao Huasheng:

"Okay... we won't surrender."

Xiao Huasheng sniffled, wiped away his tears, picked up the mouse, and continued operating.

This scene was caught by the live director.

The audience let out a collective gasp.

In the Europe livestream, the barrage exploded simultaneously:

【What?!】

【OMG, actually being beaten to tears】

【Too brutal, hahaha】

【Oh~ my little heart is about to break, his crying look is really cute】

【Firrrrrre this guy, his strikes are neither light nor heavy, did he beat a child to tears? Please keep it up!】

On the LPL commentary desk, Wawa also stared wide-eyed in shock:

"What's going on, Pinat actually got, got beaten to tears?"

Not only did they make him cry, they also made him vomit...

Perhaps, however, the directing crew, reluctant to show it, did not cut Xiao Huasheng's retching into the live broadcast; it was merely faithfully recorded by the camera, and may appear in some future documentary.

"Sigh..."

Miller thought that even the quarterfinalist RNG had been crushed by G2, each player's mentality exploding; at that time Uzi's situation was even worse than Xiao Huasheng's. Thinking of this, Miller felt a sorrowful sadness, sighed, and had nothing more to say.

Guan Zeyuan also said with feeling:

"Getting back to the point, Xiao Huasheng is actually a pitiful person; he debuted only last February, played a bit in the spring season, then was benched in the summer season; after that Najin Black Sword and White Shield merged into one team, he was kicked out, during the whole transfer period no one inquired about him, and finally ROX took him in. His tumultuous history, combined with ROX's similarly unfavorable situation, amounts to a miserable meeting of misery, misery upon misery, sorrow upon sorrow."

"Mm, after all the difficulty to reach this point, the result is being beaten like this by G2... three crushing games, it's indeed very unpleasant."

In the barrage, someone said:

【So actually RNG really isn't weak, just unlucky to meet G2】

【No longer saying G2 is a fake strong team?】

【G2 is a fake strong team, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year】

【Now it seems that the initial Group A should have been the strongest group; G2 went 3-0 in the first round, basically locking advancement, and later they intentionally lost to catch RNG】

【Having slain RNG in the quarterfinals, then in the semifinals and finals consecutively taking down two major championship contenders, G2's championship gold content, tsk tsk~】

【You're already saying this before the match is even over?】

【Laughing to death, still someone hasn't woken up? Your family's World's No. 1 Jungler got beaten to tears!】

【krd is like that】

As time passed, G2's advantage grew ever larger.

The ROX members meanwhile grew ever more panicked, their mentality completely collapsing.

At just over twenty-six minutes, the dazed Xiao Huasheng heedlessly walked into a pitch-black river, was stunned by the impact of a barreling meat projectile, only coming to his senses after being blown back by an exploding barrel, then flashing into a wall, utterly losing any hope of escape.

"Peanut flashed into a wall!

"Karma's chain bound him!

"Caitlyn's ultimate long-range headshot snipe killed Peanut!

"ROX's jungler fell!

"Jax teleported to mid lane!

"Everyone from G2 rushed toward the Dragon Pit!

"This is really going to be a big deal!"

At the venue, the chant "LetsgoG2" rose in unison.

In real-life Europe, on Berlin's streets, many young people gathered around a small screen and also began shouting.

"Nal also got taken down!

"The engage initiator is dead, and they're fighting outnumbered—how is ROX supposed to handle this team fight! They just aren't willing to give up like this; everyone rushes together toward the Dragon Pit!

"But who would have thought G2 still had the patience to camp!

"Perkz slid out with a lightning-fast combo straight into a rat-tat-tat! Kuro, at low health, blinked backward, only to be blown up instantly by Karma's followed-by-flash RQ—don't think his incense burner is weak just because it's an incense burner; its magic damage is still not low!

"PraY, in panic, fired a magic crystal arrow, but his aim went awry to the sky—no one hit anything!

"Barrel E flash came up to top and reached Smeb's little Nasus, a focus fire almost melted Nasus, but eventually Smeb took massive damage, his fury filled, and when he was down to a sliver of health he landed a successful Pulverize and grew big—but it was useless!"

"The female cop's trap was perfectly timed!"

"After Smeb landed a Pulverize and stunned the barrel, he himself was also taken down by two shots from the female cop, losing his head!"

"Then the back lane here was also jumped into by Jax and turned into a mushy mess; Miss Fortune's Bullet Time only managed a couple of ticks before being broken by the Counter Storm, dealing no damage at all!"

"After Jax beat the female gunner to death with his two sticks, he continued the pursuit forward!"

"ROX only had PraY left, the lone survivor, shooting while running!"

"Jax jumped up again!"

"PraY used flash!"

"Lu Xi An sprinted forward, his steps flying, and caught up!"

"Not a single one could escape!"

"PraY was killed by two shots from Lu Xi An!"

"Aced!!!"

"Zero for five!!!"

"G2 directly turned around to attack the dragon!!!"

"Shouts like a mountain roar and tsunami came in waves; after wiping out ROX, G2 easily took down Baron Nashor, and the director seized the chance to replay the team fight."

"Then they switched to the backstage."

"Ka Lao Si had already put on a suit again, pacing back and forth in the lounge, occasionally glancing at the screen, clenching his fists and waving them twice, muttering under his breath, not knowing what he was chanting."

"The view returned to Summoner's Rift; the rested G2 Zhong Ren had already headed out."

"At this point, there was no need to play any split-push tactics, nor to switch lanes and tug; ROX, both mentally and in the actual situation, had completely collapsed."

"G2's five members grouped up and pushed mid, easily taking ROX's high ground."

"The first wave of super minions reached the battlefield; the five ROX members were compressed near the cramped incisor tower, Liang Yan seized the opportunity when ROX cleared the lane, aimed at the clockwork champion without flash, and threw an exploding barrel."

"A loud boom sounded..."
