Chapter 798: Where
How can someone doing acupuncture compare damage with someone playing a sniper rifle?
How can a two‑headed Frost Archer possibly beat a four‑headed Sheriff?
As Uzi fires his shot, he steps forward half a step to avoid being pulled and harassed by the Frost Archer's movement‑speed advantage for a free basic attack.
At the same time, because Volley dealt damage, the turret's aggro shifted to the Frost Archer, and a powerful cannon shot is charging.
If hit by this cannon, the Frost Archer is almost sure to die.
Liang Yan fires a basic attack and instantly pulls back, like a slippery fish; his basic‑attack arrow, just loosed, flutters away.
The turret's attack range is 750 yards, the Frost Archer's basic‑attack range is 600 yards, and the Sheriff's position in front of the turret effectively gives the Frost Archer about 100 extra yards of range, so the Frost Archer only needs to fall back roughly 50 yards to exit the turret's attack range.
The turret's attack works like this: if a locked‑on target leaves the turret's attack range before the projectile is spawned, the turret cancels the attack because it's out of range.
When Liang Yan pulls back outside the turret's range, the crystal light on the turret's tip is already at its peak, but the projectile hasn't yet been spawned.
It's like an energy cannon charged to the limit, about to fire a destructive beam, when the target suddenly vanishes and the light inside the barrel snaps out.
Under everyone's watch, the turret is mercilessly teased.
The audience gasped in unison, and many instinctively let out a sigh of relief.
But the danger is not yet over.
The Sheriff steps forward, lifts her sniper rifle again, and the barrel glows red—this shot is a headshot!
Die, you bastard!
Uzi, face flushed with anger, roars and unleashes this killing blow.
However, the Frost Archer's attack speed is faster than his; its next headshot attack has already been fired first!
Uzi was right in his guess, yet also wrong!
After the Frost Archer lands two basic attacks, the Sheriff indeed has only a sliver of health left, and her two headshot‑enabled basic attacks are enough to drain the Frost Archer's current health.
But!
When the second basic attack's damage hits the Sheriff, a green number pops up above the Frost Archer.
+32!
The Frost Archer's health bar, which had just a bit over two segments, suddenly jumps a little, filling up to three full segments.
Bang! The Sheriff's headshot lands, but the Frost Archer survives.
... Jiao Shen lands a basic attack and Uzi is down to a sliver of health! Uzi fires a headshot back, but Jiao Shen also survives! Both are left with under ten health! Because he has the Warlord's Bloodlust! His previous basic attack just filled his energy, triggering the Bloodlust heal‑on‑hit passive; this small heal, though modest, is just enough for Jiao Shen to tank that headshot!! Jiao Shen's attack speed is higher! Step by step, faster and faster! His third basic attack directly A‑kills Uzi!!!
Wow!!!
My goodness! These two are insanely extreme!!
Boom! The atmosphere on site instantly erupts!
Suddenly, a dense stream of comments flies across the on‑site big screen:
【???】
【Holy crap, a counterkill under the turret!】
【You're saying the World's No. 1 Jungler solo‑killed the World's No. 1 Ezreal in an ADC duel?】
【Absolutely hacking—call for a strict investigation!】
【Awesome!】
【Where's the turret? Turret, save me! Isn't the opponent your lifelong enemy? Give yourself a cheat to boost range and crush him!】
【Laughing my ass off, never even fought with your back to the turret, and this is the World's No. 1 Ezreal?】
【So badass……】
The camera cuts to Uzi's webcam on the red team's player bench.
He leans back in his chair, hands off the keyboard, his face flushing from neck to ear tips, his gaze locked on the now‑colorless game screen before him, he opens his mouth but can't say a word.
After a few seconds, he finally lets out a heavy sigh, grabs the water cup nearby and takes two sips, his hands shaking slightly.
Damn……
Uzi mutters a curse. Pi Jiwan sits beside him, glances at him, then quickly looks back at the screen, his mouth twitching.
Out of the corner of his eye, Uzi sees that guy's shoulders shaking wildly, making his face flush even more.
Over on the Surpass Team's side, it's completely a different scene.
55 Kai nearly jumps up, rips off half his headset, stares at Liang Yan's profile and yells: "Holy crap, you solo‑killed Uzi?!"
Since it's a star exhibition match with no referee, nobody intervenes to stop 55 Kai's mid‑match headset removal, which is against the rules.
Liang Yan pretends not to hear, clears the leftover minion wave, then retreats into the brush and hits recall.
Yu Shuang can't contain her excitement: "Wow wow wow, so awesome, so awesome!"
Zhou Dong claps once: "Hey yo, this is so cool!"
Cai Kun Kun, who missed the bottom‑lane fight, asks bewildered: "What happened? How did Uzi die?"
Then he notices Zhou Dong never came to grab anyone, and Yu Shuang has just respawned and left the base; Cai Kun Kun finally realizes and blurts out: "Wow, you solo‑killed Uzi!"
On the commentator's desk, after Guan Zeyuan's excitement he shifts tone: "That said, Jiao Shen's solo‑kill this time is impressive, but it doesn't do much to fix the team's disadvantage; the blue side's disadvantage remains huge."
Wang Ji nods: "Yeah, although he killed Uzi, Jiao Shen can't push the turret, so this kill is kinda dry."
Rita sighs: "Indeed, this kind of Frost Archer farm isn't enough; even if Jiao Shen gets this kill, his gold still trails Uzi's. I feel… for Blue to win, they still have to rely on Zhou Dong's Sword Saint, which is the only chance to turn things around."
"It's hard." Guan Zeyuan says low‑voiced, "Mainly because PDD's Ramb… uh, his development is insane, he even solo‑took a first‑blood turret, and the Stone Giant's development is so poor that once teamfights start, nobody can tank Ramb's damage; the Sword Saint itself is squishy, a couple of flicks of flame and he's almost out of HP; imagining seeing that Sword Saint in ranked go big, charge in and wildly reap kills… uh‑uh! Just said you were the only hope, why are you still feeding?! Can you even dive the turret? You'll die!"
Zhou Dong acts in mid lane, bursting from the river to try to catch Yaqi Ge's Kassadin; 55 Kai cooperates and unleashes a combo, but because Kassadin already has a Zhonya's Hourglass that makes him far tankier than a regular mage, their burst fails to kill him.
55 Kai's chain also missed.
Kassadin flees into the turret with over 500 health, and Zhou Dong actually follows him in with his Q.
As expected, Kassadin then uses his R to pull away.
The Sword Saint is finally beaten to death by the turret.
Liang Yan took a light breath, feeling the burden on his shoulders grow heavier.
Giving up is out of the question—the opponent actually, in the entertainment match, pulled out using five ban slots to target me like this; if they really got their way, I, Liang Yan, couldn't swallow this anger!
