Chapter 847: Steady as a Mountain, Easyhoon

As the punishment fell, the little dragon's dying roar echoed in the canyon.

The AHQ team's voice chat fell into silence.

With the high ground broken, it meant that in the few minutes before the crystal respawned, they would lose the chance to sneak Baron; otherwise, once discovered undermanned in defense, VG would push from the top lane and end the game in one wave.

Conversely, VG could use this broken lane to drag AHQ, control vision of the Baron pit to put pressure on AHQ, while also split-pushing the bottom lane.

Who will go?

Of course, it's Lu Xi An.

"Let's catch him in a wave…… No matter what, we have to kill him once!"

Lu Xi An indeed appeared in the bottom lane; Mountain suggested in the team voice channel and also pinged the location.

"I'll go, Orianna lean in a bit." Westdoor was the first to agree, his voice sounding a bit gritty.

Mainly, without comparison there is no damage.

Both playing mid lane, although Orianna's early game was indeed suppressed by Lu Xi An, Westdoor this game was terribly bad; to the audience, there's no doubt he is the culprit behind AHQ's hopeless losing situation. Because all of Lu Xi An's 1-2-3-4 kills were given by him, in gaming terms: Westdoor raised a super big dad.

After the match, he was destined to be sprayed, the kind of dog-blood drenched.

And Easyhoon, who faced him, would undoubtedly claim the first MVP honor of the S7 World Championship……

We're all old-timers; why are you so pleased?

I, Westdoor, say shameless?!

So, Westdoor knew this match was already lost, but he was determined to kill Easyhoon once, just once……

The others also knew this game was basically over, so they just played casually, and thus had no objections.

The support first went to the upper river to ward and scout, confirming that VG's main force was in the mid‑upper half; Mountain and Westdoor then began setting up to catch Lu Xi An, while also moving Ziv Orianna, who has semi‑global support, to mid lane to prepare for assistance.

The support naturally had to follow Orianna, otherwise they couldn't withstand VG's mid‑lane duo push.

Xiao An's little cannon then farmed the super minion wave in the top lane.

Everyone in AHQ sprang into action.

This lane distribution looked very reasonable, and VG seemed unaware.

Lure him a bit.

Mountain hid in the jungle just across the wall; before landing, he had already used sweep and true sight to confirm, and along the way he wasn't spotted by any of VG's wards.

Westdoor said nothing, operated his Orianna two steps forward, pretending to blood‑sell for the cannon cart.

Lu Xi An indeed came forward.

Westdoor's Q finished off the low‑health cannon cart.

Lu Xi An's holy spear bullet hit him.

Westdoor pretended to retreat, pulled the ball back to shield himself, then used Q to fling the ball out, pretending to detonate it.

He deliberately pulled the ball back then flung it out, giving the opponent more reaction time.

All to first bait out Lu Xi An's sole mobility skill, 'Ruthless Pursuit'.

But to the disappointment of Westdoor and Mountain, Easyhoon did not use Ruthless Pursuit; seeing the Orianna magic ball fly toward him, he simply retreated on foot.

"No, the Marquis clearly could react but stubbornly refuses to use it—too steady!"

"No wonder he's called the mid‑lane defense tower—he's terrifyingly steady!"

"I feel it's because he isn't afraid of being drained……

Su Xiao Yan said that was right.

Besides his inherently steady nature, Easyhoon is also very calm and rational.

Easyhoon indeed didn't know the Prince was camping him, and had no vision of the Prince's movements. But Easyhoon fundamentally doesn't need to know.

He is simply quite certain of two things:

If the Prince isn't there, he doesn't need to use mobility, because Orianna can't kill him; losing a bit of health doesn't matter, he has Blade of the Ruined King, and a single wave can restore the health drained by Orianna.

If the Prince is camping, he must not use mobility, otherwise he'd have to flash to dodge the EQ, and then, lacking mobility, he couldn't create distance, naturally unable to dodge the subsequent Prince's big Orianna pull and Orianna's arrival.

This comes from playing with Liang Yan for a long time; through constant exposure, this thinking habit forms naturally. Last year's Easyhoon was also steady, but merely steady.

Easyhoon's mechanics have never been lacking; even as an aging player, over this past year, with scientific maintenance and training, his mechanics have even improved.

Previously he was steady but couldn't carry; what he lacked was higher‑level game sense.

Now he is a mobile humanoid defense tower, terrifyingly strong!

Next, Westdoor probed again with a wave, but Easyhoon still didn't use mobility.

The lurking Mountain then knew that unless Westdoor could push the opponent's health down to about one‑third—but that's impossible—otherwise Easyhoon would absolutely not use mobility. So, there would be no better chance.

If they didn't act soon, the enemy would notice something was off.

Westdoor naturally saw this as well, and his heart filled with more resentment—both are veteran players, why are you so strong? Clinging to a thigh for an easy win, wouldn't that make you rusty? Why haven't you rusted but instead gotten stronger?!

"Take him!"

Westdoor said through gritted teeth, this time he really was gritting his teeth.

So Mountain no longer hesitated, seizing the moment when Easyhoon raised his hand to last‑hit, and directly launched an EQ through the wall to stab him.

Given Easyhoon's steadiness, even if he doesn't know where someone is, his positioning will naturally keep him away from fog‑covered dangerous areas.

Therefore the Prince's EQ cannot directly hit him.

He needs to flash.

"Mountain finally couldn't hold back and struck!!"

"Coming in with an EQ flash!!"

"The Marquis reacted!!"

"Ruthless Pursuit dodges the skill to avoid being knocked up!!"

Mountain's heart gave a thump.

But it's already a case of riding a tiger, hard to get off.

Can only grit one's teeth and continue to pile on the ultimate move.

The wind‑up ball swiftly wrapped around.

At the same time, a wide‑ranging golden light formation appeared on the ground.

"After EQ flashed away, the prince still unleashed his ultimate move and piled it on!!"

"Garen flew!!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge threw out TP earlier! TP's pick point is right on the minion line in front of the wind‑up!!"

"But the Marquis seemed to have predicted it long ago! He directly used Flash before the prince's ultimate landed! He wasn't caught by the Earthshatter! He didn't even take any damage!!"

"Goodness, Marquis! This reaction!!"

"Wow, is the Marquis really already twenty‑five years old?!!"

On the top lane, Liang Yan and the bottom lane duo simultaneously went after AN's little cannon.

The director cut a small window in the lower‑left corner of the broadcast screen, allowing viewers to simultaneously observe the top lane situation.

Only saw Pig Sis fling a long‑range heavy blow, forcing the little cannon's Flash; then Pig Sis Q‑Flashes forward, precisely pulling the already airborne little cannon down from mid‑air; Smlz's Xayah, with Karma's acceleration shield, rushes in and unleashes a frenzied Deadly Feather Cloak output.

The little cannon fired a back‑hand devastation shot, hoping to blast Xayah away, but Xayah activated her ultimate, turning into a sky‑full of flying feathers that made her untargetable, dodging the attack.

Thus, AN had no further means to resist or flee, falling into a hopeless situation.

The audience's roar was like heaven and earth collapsing, its momentum terrifying.

And as the on‑site atmosphere exploded to the extreme, the bottom lane battle also entered the ultimate white‑hot stage.
