Chapter 574

~7 min read 1,278 words

After watching the replay, Guan Zeyuan said with a smile:

How does it feel that whoever strikes first loses in this match? On the top lane, KT struck first and killed a jungler; in the bottom lane, VG struck first and Sima Laozei was beaten down; in the mid lane, the Fat General landed a Charm on the Marquis at the tower, but was eventually chased into the jungle!

Although the Marquis is not young, his reaction is also truly fast; upon being charmed, he instantly cleansed and removed control, then promptly placed a shield to offset most of the damage, and then backhandedly put a Dog Leash on the Fat General, maximizing his RQ damage.

Yes, and then the Marquis wanted to go straight past the turret to block the Fat General; if the Fat General doesn't run, once the Marquis's next Q cools down, he's going to die...

Easyhoon turned around, cleared another wave, then went home.

Pawn was chased into the jungle and went back to base; going there and back, he missed nearly two waves. Although the second wave was mostly cleared by Score after respawning and returning to lane, Pawn suffered a huge loss.

Immediately after, the director gave a shot of the KT backstage rest area.

FIFAHUN began to anxiously rub his face. However, what made FIFAHUN even more uncomfortable was that, just as the camera switched back, the top lane erupted into battle again.

At the moment the Card Master played his Yellow Card, Galio directly used Justice Punch to negate control and rush forward, launching the Card Master into the air, then followed with a Q-powered heavy punch that triggered his passive and began charging his Durand Shield.

The Card Master's Flash from the previous exchange hadn't come off cooldown yet, so Galio's fully charged Durand Shield pulled him back.

Although Galio had no abilities or passive at this moment, the Card Master was fragile, and Galio had three Doran's Rings; after their previous combo, the Card Master's health had already dropped by half, and now a plain three-punch combo brought his health down to around two hundred, while Galio still had over half of his health bar!

Hey, there seems to be a chance to kill here! Smeb has no flash! And no health potion!

Can kill, really can kill! Sheng Qiang Ge is in pursuit! Waiting for his next Q cooldown! Once his skills are ready, a hit will secure the kill!

Smeb hurriedly ran toward the tower, but the distance was a bit far! He was also calculating Galio's cooldown, juking left and right while switching to his second card! He drew the Yellow Card! But dare he use it? Because Galio's War Gang Wind is also ready! Sheng Qiang Ge is waiting for Smeb to turn and throw the Yellow Card! Smeb also knows Sheng Qiang Ge is waiting for that moment when he turns!

The entire audience let out a suppressed scream, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

At that very moment, Galio suddenly flapped his wings.

Smeb instantly turned around!

However, this was just an expression animation!

Fu Lan Duo seized the moment Smeb turned around to unleash her true killing move—two War Gang Winds swept out from the tips of her wings!

Smeb realized he'd been tricked, instinctively turned and kept running, but happened to step right onto where the War Gang Wind landed—with a whoosh, his health dropped straight to zero!

Hit!!!

「War Gangfeng instant damage hit Smeb down to a sliver of health! The damage over time is still burning! Smeb finally threw out a yellow card, but the card hadn't even flown onto Garen before he was killed by the damage over time! Solo kill!! 」

「Sheng Qiang Ge! Solo killed Smeb!!! 」

「Wow! Sheng Qiang Ge!!! 」

「This is too exciting... 」

Changzhang patted his chest, then took a deep breath. The venue simultaneously burst into a huge cheer, and the audience started breathing again.

In the VG team channel, Fu Lan Duo shouted excitedly:

「Brothers, tell me loudly, am I cool this wave? 」

Xiao Duan: 「Cool cool cool, Qiang Ge is awesome, holy shit! 」

Liang Yan & Sima Laozei: 「Awesome! 」

Easyhoon: 「Impressive! 」

Fu Lan Duo felt satisfied and laughed heartily.

And in the KT player bench camera view, Smeb's face instantly lost color.

In the KT restroom, FIFAHUN's vision went black, feeling that this game was slipping away.

Five and a half minutes in, the kill score is 2-0, KT is behind by 1000 gold—two kills worth 700 gold, and the mid/top/jungle CS difference adds up to over 300!

「What a thrilling game! Both sides are playing extremely aggressively, constantly fighting! 」

As the top lane solo kill replay just ended, the camera switched back to the bottom lane—

「They're about to fight again! 」

「My goodness? If you're not careful, Jiao Shen has already come around here! 」

「What the heck? KT's vision is everywhere—how did he get here?! 」

「The mid lane bushes… Just now, when Score cleared the minions in mid lane, he used his EQ and sneaked into KT's jungle…」

「Huh?! 」

Pulling time back slightly, after a skirmish on the bottom lane, KT's duo first recalled, returned to lane, and pushed the minion wave to VG's turret.

Deft fired an arrow into VG's jungle; Hawkshot swiftly flew, lighting up a large area along the way, but he didn't see Prince's silhouette. The two KT players thought Prince had been drawn to the upper half by the earlier top lane skirmish, so while VG's duo hadn't returned to lane yet, they quickly rushed forward to start probing the turret.

However, just as Deft's arrow was released, Bu Long's silhouette appeared at the edge of the vision.

At the same time, a piercing signal suddenly sounded in the headset.

「Prince is coming! Get out!! 」

Mata shouted while charging forward.

Deft startled, hastily glanced at the minimap, and discovered that Prince had actually appeared unseen in the grass at the river entrance.

At that moment, Deft was dumbfounded.

In this lower river lane, a true sight ward stands in the central grass below the blue team's F6 base slope; before the dragon pit, there is a vision altar left half a minute ago after Score cleared the mid lane minions and came over to eat the river crab; also in the enemy bottom lane's Triangular Grass is a decorative ward that Mata placed after the two returned to lane; plus Deft's arrow just shot into VG's jungle, the entire lower half is lit by KT's vision, theoretically making it almost impossible for Prince to flank from behind.

However, the reality is that Prince has already come up behind him!

How on earth did he get past the vision?!

Deft certainly knows Prince came from his own jungle by smashing the Explosive Fruit and jumping down, but the question is, when exactly did Prince enter his own jungle?!

Could he be using a blink?!

Deft pressed against the wall and slipped into the bushes, his heart filled with panic and confusion. He simply couldn't figure out how Prince had gotten past the vision.

「What are you standing there for? Run! 」

Mata's roar startled Deft awake; Deft took a close look and saw Bu Long about to crash into him, raising his shield to smash his face, while his own frost shot was just auto-attacking the shield, and Mata's Thresh was struggling to get past Bu Long to charge at the enemy AD, obviously intending to sacrifice himself to give Deft a chance.

Deft was panicked and confused, about to dash into the bushes to run, but his mind kept lingering on:

How did he get around?
