Chapter 638: You're hilarious

During the standoff, Liang Yan kept probing forward, he saw the disconnection in EDG's formation, and his positioning became increasingly aggressive.

Under high pressure, his behavior was no different than repeatedly probing with a lit lighter next to the fuse of a powder keg, courting death.

Seeing that green rubber dummy swaying in front of him, Ai Luoli finally couldn't help but throw out Cocoon.

Actually, Ai Luoli didn't expect that her casual toss would trigger a violent chain reaction.

"Cocoon hit!!"

The powder keg finally detonated, and in an instant, the casters' and audience's emotions exploded.

And on EDG's side, that taut string finally couldn't hold.

"Charge——!!!"

Kled let out a loud shout, raised his dagger, and commanded his lizard mount to charge!

"... The moment Cocoon hit Jiao Shen, Mouse directly went in with his ultimate!!"

In EDG's team chat, Ai Luoli also shouted: "Give me the ball, give me the ball!"

However, Scout was still over a thousand yards away, completely out of reach!

Ai Luoli gritted her teeth, turned into a spider, and lunged after Kled.

However, Kled's point-blank ultimate had limited effect and its landing point was too easy to predict; after the collision white line locked onto Zac, Xiao Duan delayed a moment, then anticipated and struck at the exact moment Kled lost his unstoppable state after hitting Zac, and Thresh's hook latched onto Kled!

"Mouse got hooked by Thresh as soon as he collided!"

"Xiao Duan pulled the hook, flew up, unleashed his ultimate while pushing back with his other hand, perfectly sending Ai Luoli together onto the cage wall and even blocking a corrupt chain!"

"Jiao Shen charged up a jump backward to the back line while tearing apart the spreading corrupt vines!"

"The advancing Scout was just blasted away, while the duo both dodged with flashes but ended up flashing together!"

"Jiao Shen directly flashed, ulted, Meiko opened shield and sped up, but still couldn't escape, being brought back by Zac turned into sticky candy!"

"The instant he landed, Prince's EQ launched him up into Heaven and Earth Shatter crashing down!"

"Scout flashed out!"

"Posture stepped in!"

"EDG's duo died instantly!"

"Both sides were rushing the back line, but Kled only swung twice before being dismounted by the Spear of Shoes, after which he could only be endlessly kited! Ai Luoli, after turning into a spider and eating Thresh's ultimate, had her movement speed greatly reduced and likewise couldn't reach Sima Laozei! Meanwhile, EDG's back line was already doomed!"

"Holy Spear Brother is still chasing Scout!"

"Jiao Shen and Posture, however, began turning back to deal with EDG's jungle!"

"Mouse couldn't reach Sima Laozei, so he changed tactics, started hacking at Thresh to build up fury to remount! Just one hit short! But it felt awful, he couldn't land the blow! Zac's extended pull dragged him back into the spider! Mouse was already low on health! He finally landed a hit on Zac, building up enough courage, but the moment he tried to remount, Posture's card killed him!"

Kled's dismount has invulnerability frames, but his mount action does not; although mounting also makes him untargetable, any ongoing auto-attacks, skills, or persistent damage still take effect, and the mount's added health is only granted after the mount action finishes. Meanwhile, Zzitai's Elise's Q ability happened to be locked on and fired before Kled finished mounting, its projectile speed extremely high, perfectly killing Mouse's Kled at the very moment his mount was about to complete!

"Ai Luoli can't escape either, it's over, EDG is going to collapse!"

The barrage instantly exploded.

【Thick~Zero for four!】

【Fifteen minutes is almost up~】

【Just surrender】

【VG is awesome!】

【Thank you, Ai Luoli~】

【Is Scout sleepwalking? Not using his ultimate in teamfights, only pulling one after the fight—what does that mean? Is this how a top-paid Korean import plays?】

【EDG is disconnected, and Ai Luoli shouldn't have initiated Zac】

【Ai Luoli just randomly rolled the dice; this teamfight was actually started by A Guang】

【I really beg you to surrender! Stop embarrassing yourselves!】

On VG's side, the voice chat was all "nice".

Fu Lan Duo, while playing the vanguard, laughed: "I'm convinced, there's no difference between the enemy's teamfight style and just giving up; they won't really surrender, will they?"

"EDG couldn't possibly surrender."

"Why?"

"With the manager absent, no one dares to initiate; who would take the blame?"

"So that's the reason?"

"Hahahaha……"

Laughing aside, VG actually had no intention of mocking the opposition; it was just idle chatter and objective analysis.

Meanwhile, on EDG's side, Ai Luoli sat in her seat, watching the game screen turn black again, her mentality completely exploded.

"How can you play this game with the mid laner teamfighting like that?"

Scout's clockwork, however, was still fleeing; he finally used an ultimate to narrowly break Prince's EQ combo, stopping the enemy's pursuit, and thus managed to escape. Moreover, Scout was the only person from EDG to survive this teamfight.

After reaching safety, Scout found a place to return to base, then coldly replied:

"You're hilarious, go initiate with Zac—there's no way to play like that."

Ai Luoli gave a begrudging heh heh, but couldn't find a reason to rebut.

Scout's words were harsh, but they were correct. However, those same sentences also dragged Mouse into the insult.

Thus Mouse also became embarrassed.

As for the duo, since they initiated and got instantly killed, they were also embarrassed now; Meiko might want to say something to ease the mood, but lacking the courage, she ultimately couldn't speak up. Otherwise, if Meiko really dared to chime in, everyone might not say anything out loud, but deep down they'd surely think: You usually command the best, yet in the teamfight you, a protective support, died first while carrying the AD, and still have the nerve to hem and haw like this—shameless!

Even Meiko had nothing to say, so EDG's team voice channel fell into another long silence.

After this teamfight, Ai Luoli never came to mid lane again.

An invisible rift rapidly widened among EDG's top, mid, and jungle players.

At that time, those in the backstage lounge couldn't hear the stage players' microphones. Therefore, A Bu and Coach Nofe, who were staying in the backstage lounge, still didn't know what exactly had happened among the players.

Even so, A Bu's face had already become extremely ugly.

"What the hell are we playing? Is saying anything useful? Saying it still ends up like this, we're doomed. Obviously our laning and macro were fine, but as soon as we teamfight we fall apart, we completely forgot how to coordinate in scrims, nobody's playing well, we're really doomed. I want to ask, does VG eat people? Hey coach, is VG really that scary, we're already afraid before even fighting?"

"Er... uh... emmm... maybe... perhaps... they are indeed stronger..."

Nofe could only pretend to be clueless to muddle through.
