Chapter 339: There's a thief!
2 minutes, Zhong Lu got first blood.
Liang Yan went online, twisted Pray's Q, then hit back with a Heavenly Sound Wave, stepped over to trade health, made a small profit of over a hundred, after hitting level 2 he directly crossed the minion line, ignited and went all-in.
Pray was unhappy, stood among the three ranged minions and faced off with Liang Yan, however the second Q was dodged by Liang Yan; although he successfully pulled off an extreme operation, flashing to dodge Liang Yan's two-stage Q damage, he was still killed by the chase and flash.
Amid the audience's gasps, Bengi rushed out from the river wanting to secure a kill, but little did he know there was also someone behind Liang Yan.
Reignover's burst of output left Bengi low, Liang Yan chased into the tower, traded one-for-one with Bengi, and took his second kill of the game.
Meanwhile, word came from the bottom lane that Changzhang had been killed by Levi.
The director switched off Changzhang's camera; Changzhang pursed his lips, looking rather helpless.
The melee continued; both sides were just playing around (they were all blind anyway), regardless of whether they could win or lose, upon meeting they'd rush in to fight; if they couldn't win they'd run; only when low on health would they start playing cautiously, and if they couldn't manage that they'd just die.
When the timer hit 20 minutes, the combined kill count from both sides was already close to sixty.
Looking at the stats, the standout on the left was Levi with 12-1-6; on the right, this player was even more outrageous at 14-1-7; the whole team had fewer than thirty kills, and Liang Yan accounted for half of them.
Correspondingly, the worst on the left was Pray, who laned against Liang Yan in Zhong Lu with a 2-10-4 record; the worst on the right was Changzhang, who laned against Levi in Xia Lu with a 2-7-3 record.
Liang Yan felt the game was about as good as it would get; with Pray feeding, even if Changzhang's record was ugly, people probably wouldn't say 'nine blind monks and one ball'.
Next, Liang Yan stopped staying in Zhong Lu to torment Pray—indeed, after 20 minutes these guys were still laning—he let the minion wave push for Changzhang to farm, and Liang Yan began to roam around.
And the iconic 'kicking the ball' scene that should have happened around 20:50 in history naturally didn't occur; at this point, the red side's middle turret still hadn't fallen.
The melee ultimately lasted close to forty minutes, with the combined kill count from both sides totaling 98; if it weren't for Changzhang destroying the base quickly, they might have broken a hundred.
Liang Yan killed over twenty enemies the whole game, dying only once.
"Congratulations to the Infinite Blaze team!"
"Congratulations to the red team, this match… all I can say is that Jiao Shen is still your Jiao Shen, 24 kills and 1 death, that stat is too outrageous."
"The nickname is spot on; this Jiao Shen, the Mang Seng, really is—hand on throat!"
"It feels like just stepped into his territory."
"That must be it."
Watching that figure step off the stage after shaking hands with the opponent and head backstage, the Europe fans' feelings were very complex.
On one hand, they were proud that their idol's performance remained strong.
But on the other hand, the ID Firrrrrre's prefix is no longer any European team; if they want to watch his matches next year they can only go to LPL, which makes them feel lost.
The next day, the four-day All-Star event reached its conclusion.
It's probably because they were afraid of stimulating the Ou Mei audience; Liang Yan didn't appear again in the team matches, but in the personal solo tournament he fought his way to the finals, met Uzi at his peak, and ultimately won the All-Star solo championship with a 2-1 score.
Well, he finally reaped his first somewhat valuable personal award since his debut.
Actually, if Liang Yan had tried a bit harder, Uzi couldn't have won a single game.
But after all, they're already WeChat friends, and from now on they'll be seeing each other often, so they had to save some face; thus he let him win a game, which is what's called a favor match.
Returning to the hotel, Wang Liangyi took Liang Yan's solo championship trophy and went crazy taking photos, posting them on Weibo to show off.
The fans were sour beyond bearing, yet couldn't find any reason to criticize, because Liang Yan was not only the solo champion but also the S6 world champion, possessing both personal and team honors; the only stain was his use of violence against former teammates at his debut; if G2's summer season performance had been poor, the 'team destroyer maniac' label would have stuck, but G2 ended up winning the championship, so there's really no way to disparage him.
How could there be such a perfect player?!
He's practically the high-spec version of Uzi from their fantasies...
……
Upon learning that Liang Yan would return to his country the next day, Perkz and Mithy came to say goodbye, also bringing a parting gift—a model of the S6 World Championship trophy, only one-fifth the size of the original, with every other detail identical.
"After learning you would also participate in the All-Star tournament, Ka Lao Si had this specially made."
Perkz handed the trophy model to Liang Yan.
Liang Yan felt moved; having nothing to give in return, he handed over his own solo trophy.
Perkz certainly didn't dare to accept, hastily waving his hands:
"No no no, we can't take this; it's your personal honor!"
"Take it."
Liang Yan forcibly shoved the petite trophy into Perkz's hands,
"I'll take it back later."
Perkz and Mithy, hearing that, were stunned on the spot.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing ecstasy in each other's eyes—could Liang Yan's words be understood as meaning he might return to G2 in the future?!
Perkz solemnly said:
"Alright, then we'll keep it safe for you first!"
……
Perkz actually likes to show off, but when he obtained the Worlds FMVP he didn't post on Twitter to brag.
This time, after receiving the trophy Liang Yan gave him, he posted many pictures on Twitter:
"【Hey, I'm also a solo champion!】"
As soon as he got back to Berlin, Ka Lao Si snatched it away; Ka Lao Si placed the trophy on the top shelf of the G2 base display cabinet next to the S6 championship trophy (also a model), took a photo and posted it on G2's official Twitter and Weibo, simultaneously tagging Wang Liangyi's personal Weibo:
"【The trophy is indeed beautiful, but now it's mine】"
At that time, Wang Liangyi and Liang Yan had already returned to the VG base.
Wang Liangyi felt awful, but since he personally witnessed Liang Yan giving the trophy to Perkz and couldn't retort, he felt even more depressed.
G2 fans, however, erupted.
"【What?】"
"【Isn't this the solo championship trophy?】"
"【Why is it in the G2 base?!】"
"【There's a thief!】"
It must have been stolen, Ka Lao Si is that kind of person.
But Ka Lao Si didn't even go to the All-Star, and it was Perkz who started first; could it be that Perkz stole it?
I think it was sent by Firrrrrre!
Why would personal honor be given to someone else?
Then I don't know, but I think it's a good thing!
