Chapter 793: Happiness is the true essence of this match
Toothpick Brother differs from Pi Ji Wan; his rank is all climbed solo in ranked, a genuine national server Electric One Diamond Two level, and if it weren't for not playing enough, he might even climb another division, reaching Master!
Electric One Master, he can already touch the threshold of some lower-league bottom-tier teams.
Toothpick Brother's strength is indeed not weak; actually, when Changzhang just opened his mouth to remind, he also simultaneously noticed the movement on the minimap.
Zhou Dong's Sword Saint went up from the river path, sneaking into the red side's upper jungle; actually, it's already been over four minutes, Changzhang's F6 and red buff have long been cleared, and he's currently eating Stone Armor Beetles, so he doesn't know why this Sword Saint came.
Warding?
Or maybe Zhou Dong doesn't know that Changzhang is about to finish clearing the first wave of jungle monsters, wanting to run over and steal a set of F6?
Changzhang felt the latter possibility was more likely.
But Zhou Dong didn't know that his intrusion had already been clearly seen by the river ward placed by Toothpick Brother!
After Changzhang finished eating the Stone Armor Beetles, he went back through the tunnel he had dug, directly hit the Explosive Fruit and jumped into the Dragon Pit, cutting off Zhou Dong's only retreat, and together with Toothpick Brother who came around from mid lane, they flanked behind Zhou Dong's Sword Saint.
Zhou Dong's Sword Saint, besides the mandatory Smite, had the summoner skill Dash, and the Sword Saint itself is a hero lacking any non-targeted wall-crossing mobility.
So when Changzhang and Toothpick Brother reached the jungle exit, Zhou Dong basically had no way out.
But Zhou Dong is very resourceful; after placing the ward, he looked back and saw his retreat blocked by Rek'Sai and Kassadin, and without hesitation he activated Dash, his legs spinning like windmills as he sprinted madly into the deep jungle!
Guan Zeyuan saw this, his eyes lit up: 'Yo, Zhou Dong is so skilled! He's going to feed the tower!'
Wang Ji also laughed: 'Nice, Zhou Dong!'
Rita couldn't help but laugh: 'Don't say it, if he really gets fed the tower and Cool Team doesn't get a kill from him, this wave actually doesn't matter much, and you could even say Cool Team would be slightly at a loss, because they wasted time on Zhou Dong.'
'Yes, and Zhou Dong's jungle monsters are already cleared; there's nothing else for him to do, dying once won't affect his development rhythm!'
As long as there was still a set of jungle monsters in his own jungle, Zhou Dong wouldn't appear here; it's precisely because he finished clearing the jungle with nothing left to do that he wanted to place a ward.
Changzhang and Toothpick Brother watched the Sword Saint about to disappear from their vision, and they were also startled.
Changzhang couldn't help but exclaim: 'Damn, this escape route is really resourceful!'
'Don't run!' Toothpick Brother shouted, decisively flashing forward and throwing a Dark Wave (Null Sphere).
Changzhang stared, but quickly understood.
In an official match, nobody would play like this, because the Sword Saint has made it clear he's going to feed the tower; even if they dealt damage now, the enemy could easily drag it out for another 15 seconds before he feeds the tower, since the Sword Saint has Dash, and as long as they can't apply steady crowd control, he can quickly pull away.
But this isn't an official match, it's a fun game!
What is a fun game?
Mainly just have fun!
Is taking down Zhou Tianwang's head fun? Extremely fun!
Changzhang instantly had an epiphany, immediately merged into the rank, roughly calculated the distance, and also decisively flashed forward, throwing a Hunter's Trap toward the predicted escape direction of the Sword Saint in the fog; a few tenths of a second later came a puff of feedback.
According to game mechanics, if the Sword Saint is killed by a turret within 15 seconds of taking damage from Changzhang, then Changzhang's action counts as a kill-steal.
'Ah? Changzhang?!'
'He actually hit it!'
'Hahaha……'
The commentators were all dumbfounded.
The whole venue was filled with cheers and laughter; the audience members sat in the seats, holding their stomachs, laughing until they doubled over.
In the Surpass Team player bench, Zhou Dong wore a worried frown: 'I seem unable to escape.'
Lu Benwei and Yu Shuang chuckled, comforting him that it was fine.
Zhou Dong still struggled a bit, but there was only so much space; the direction he chose had already reached its end, the only remaining options being whether to feed the second turret or the high ground turret. However, since it hasn't been fifteen seconds since he last took damage from EDG's mid-jungle, and EDG's mid-jungle has been chasing him from behind, no matter which he chooses, there's essentially no difference.
In the end, Changzhang still got Zhou Dong's kill.
'Haha~' Changzhang, who likes to pretend to be cool and steady, laughed out loud into the mic.
Top lane PDD threw cold water on him: 'No way, brother, you two exchanged two flashes and chased for half a day just to kill one person, and afterwards there's not much to say, it seems not profitable.'
'Eh~, you just don't get it, right, Professor Mingkai.' Toothpick Brother got an assist on killing Zhou Dong and was also quite happy.
At five minutes, both sides had one kill each; just as many viewers felt that this fun match's skill level was actually not low, with both sides playing rather orderly, the next few minutes saw the situation on the field suddenly change.
Just half a minute later, Changzhang struck again, appearing behind the blue side's first turret after flanking, and blocked the Stone Man that PDD's Braum was pressing against the turret as a spear‑training target.
The strongest on earth, Jini Tai Mei Cai Kun Kun, offered up his kill without much struggle.
Changzhang secured a second kill, elated to the point of leaping up.
But the red side's two-man turret dive also made a mistake: PDD left the turret a bit early, causing the turret to retarget onto Changzhang; the instant Changzhang clawed Jini Tai Mei to death, the turret's barrage also fell, and since Changzhang didn't flash, after killing he couldn't quickly leave the turret's attack range, and was ultimately struck down by the turret.
An unexpected extra kill, Jini Tai Mei was also very happy; when leaving the base, besides gaining a Little Sun Flame, he also had a Dark Seal — commonly known as the Murder Band.
When Liang Yan saw the Stone Man's equipment slot show this item, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help asking: 'Why does the Stone Man build a Murder Band?'
Jini Tai Mei replied: 'Just drawing a lottery; if I happen to pick up a few kills in a teamfight I'll take off, haha~'
Picking up a few heads…… surely not intentionally kill‑stealing, right!
Liang Yan was speechless, but could understand; after all, it's only Platinum, sometimes people have some bizarre game understandings……
On mid lane, I don't know if it's the 55 opening intentionally feeding or what; theoretically, Ahri should have a big early advantage against Kassadin, yet there's been no sound at all.
Liang Yan wasn't panicked either; aside from occasionally shooting an arrow into the jungle to help teammates confirm Changzhang's position, he was basically focused on his own lane the rest of the time.
After taking Thresh's kill, Liang Yan clearly felt that Uzi had gotten serious.
