Chapter 478: Still going home?
Holy shit!!!
In the livestream room of a certain Lu-surnamed streamer, Lu someone jumped up in front of the camera and wailed loudly,
Jiao Shen!!!
Awesome!!!
Perfect spinning kick!!!
What is a perfect spinning kick, do you guys understand?!
Before the eye even touches the dragon's tail sweep, the kick is already out; that's what a perfect spinning kick is!
……
On site, VG fans' cheers were deafening.
On the big screen, Mang Seng's one kick chained three people; only 957 reacted in time, used flash to dodge the fate of being candied.
From the screen, VG's top laner Blue Steel Shadow is already dead; facing WE's team, only Mang Seng remains, while the others are nearly a thousand yards away.
But this distance has already entered the Rat's kill range.
Lulu's W and shield were applied immediately; the attack speed bonus and extra damage from her W skill, plus the attack speed bonus from the Censer, took effect on the Rat right away.
Sima Laozei emerged from stealth, his ultimate full throttle already activated.
Amidst a sinister, terrifying laugh, trails of poison arrows with green light, carrying pierce and stacking poison effects, streaked across the sky and pierced WE's entire formation.
And beyond the most obvious poison arrow trajectories, there are many smaller split trajectories—these are split arrows produced by the Hurricane equipped on the marksman Lu Anna.
This wave, formed by Mang Seng's three-chain into the Rat's ultimate burst shot, was an instant explosion that could be described as heaven‑shattering and earth‑destroying for the four WE squishies taking the brunt of the firepower.
Although Ben was kicked to the rear, he was also the frailest; as a support, his level is only 10, a full four levels below the Rat and Mang Seng! After taking Mang Seng's QRA he lost almost half his health, and then died instantly from two piercing basic attacks from the Rat.
Mystic, as VG's primary damage focus, took the Fan Mom's RQ and Lulu's Radiant Spear, yet before landing was sprayed to death by the Rat.
Xi Ye, being close to Mystic, also took damage from Fan Mom's RQ, and the Rat's poison arrow aimed at Mystic likewise pierced him; the damage he received initially was not much less than Mystic's, but he survived the instant kill thanks to being the highest level on the field (16). Nevertheless, the Fox is also squishy; although Xi Ye flashed immediately upon landing, his blink carried him only two steps before he was sniped from afar.
Condi likewise flashed upon landing and ran toward higher ground, but was blown up by the Rat's toxin detonation before escaping the skill range.
957's Nael was not chained away; he flashed out early, then jumped back when the Rat went ultimate, trying to tank damage to threaten the Rat and force the enemy to cease fire, but when approaching he was caught by Mang Seng's foot‑bind, at which point he still had over half his health.
On the commentator's desk, Miller, who almost soloed the team fight, had a hoarse voice:
"Leg Bro's condition is still good! But…"
Wawa generously continued:
"But our teammates have all fallen, WE's situation is lost!"
Offstage, VG fans' screams and cheers rolled like spring thunder, incessant. By contrast, WE fans mostly looked ashen, silent and speechless; some female fans covered their mouths, eyes glistening with tears as they gazed at the big screen, their expressions filled with anguish and heartbreak.
Not long after, 957 also fell.
【Ace!】
A cold, solemn female voice announced WE's team wipe, also foreshadowing the match's outcome.
The bodies of the five WE players lay strewn between the blue side's middle second turret and middle first turret, while the four VG members trudged over the corpses, pushing forward with the minion wave, singing triumphantly.
"Still going home? Still going home?"
Easyhoon, while running with his teammates toward the enemy high ground, quickly asked:
Xiao Duan, extremely excited:
"Go hammer it! It's over, bro!"
Even the lowest‑level support Malzahar has a respawn time as high as 37 seconds, and the higher‑level WE teammates, some even reaching nearly fifty seconds.
And the battle happened to erupt in the mid lane where WE's two outer towers had been destroyed, with the minion wave not far behind.
The choice was obvious; Easyhoon certainly knew his side held a chance to end the game in one push, but being naturally cautious, he asked one more question.
"Hmm, one push then."
Liang Yan's words pointed the team toward the final direction and put a period on this match.
At 28 minutes and 26 seconds, a gorgeous fireworks bloom blossomed on WE's high ground.
At this moment, all VG fans in the arena rose to cheer.
The commentator shouted from the commentator's desk:
"Two‑zero! Congratulations, VG!"
Congratulations, VG! They swept aside the opposition once again to win a match! Now they firmly hold three match points! They are only half a step away from the stage of the 2017 LPL Spring Finals!
That's right, congratulations VG—the ticket to Nanjing is within reach; moreover, this is Vici Gaming's closest approach to the region's highest honor. Believe that whether it's the veteran VG players on stage or the training staff backstage, their hearts must be racing. Congratulations again to them!
"Long‑haired Teacher, those words were well said."
"Where, where, hehehe…"
The three commentators added a few more congratulatory remarks, as the venue's director switched the camera to the WE members silently leaving the player benches for backstage, Wawa shifted the topic:
"But we must note, this is a Bo5 match; right now the battle has not completely ended!"
The picture just cut to the commentator's bench; Wawa stared straight into the camera and spoke sonorously:
"Although VG has three match points!"
"Although we all know that coming back from 0‑2 to win three games is extremely difficult!"
"But!"
"The charm of esports is that, before the outcome is settled, we can always look forward to miracles!"
"Come on! Audience friends at the venue! WE fans! Please raise your voices so we can cheer for WE together!"
"WE! Go!"
"WE! Go!"
"WE…"
Under Wawa's leading encouragement, the WE fans on site rekindled hope, and even burst out with an astonishingly mighty cheering momentum.
Like a tide, wave after wave of sound surged backstage; WE everyone sat in the lounge, all falling into silence.
Even Sky couldn't speak, only feeling moved in his heart.
Nobody present had expected that, even at this moment, so many people would still be supporting them, not abandoning them.
"Hiss—"
Sky drew a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
His gaze swept over everyone, his expression appearing solemn and grave.
Just as he was about to speak, Mystic suddenly spoke first:
"I don't understand, why everyone……"
