Chapter 58: Five Dragon Buff! (Please keep reading)
18 and a half minutes, the small dragon respawned.
Flash Wolves rationally chose to let go, to buy a bit of development for the double carries.
QG, without losing a single soldier, claimed their third small dragon!
On the commentator's desk, Jide and Su Xiaoyan stared intently at the match screen.
Flash Wolves didn't dare to take this team fight.
Ryze only had one Time item; compared to six minutes ago, the female sniper only had an extra Yellow Fork.
Only the small dragon can be let go!
Wow, QG controlled all early-game map resources this round!
Jide exclaimed in amazement: 'What surprised me most is that, with XDM controlling three dragons and two jungle pioneers this round, his jungle clear still kept pace with the opponent—you know Karsa used the Leopard Girl this round, the jungler with the highest early-game jungle clear efficiency.'
He looked emotional: 'Too unbelievable!'
Karsa's development this round isn't bad; he should have the ice staff after returning to base next wave, but still feels somewhat inferior to the male gunner.
Su Xiaoyan spoke frankly: at this moment Xu Dongmen was about to synthesize the Big Drink Demon Blade: 'Mainly the male gunner got kills, while the Leopard Girl could only rely on jungle farming.'
Flash Wolves' lineup this round isn't bad; the biggest problem is that QG's small dragon tempo is too fast, they won't give you a chance to let the female sniper come online.
Jide frankly admitted his worries.
Although he is now an LPL commentator, he originally came from LMS, and deep down he surely still leans more toward domestic teams.
According to PTT netizens, QG has basically locked first place in the group; losing one round doesn't affect them much.
As for the Electric Wolves, they just barely secured qualification; each upcoming match could affect their ranking.
We had agreed on the third XX cooperation to jointly resist Korea; as the host, shouldn't we display the great fearless spirit and make this round flawless? You QG also wouldn't want to start the knockout stage with an internal conflict, would you?
Xu Dongmen gave his answer with action!
This wave, XDM made a move again, targeting the Ryze laning in the bottom lane.
Mama's boy fell...
Jide said with a slight sobbing tone.
Not every wandering mage's ID is Faker; from this round, Maple's Ryze isn't much stronger than Da B.
0-2-1 record, only at 23 minutes did they reach 200 kills!
His death in this wave directly led to the destruction of Flash Wolves' bottom second turret.
Six outer towers, only the middle second remains.
For Flash Wolves, there's a piece of good news: before the fourth small dragon respawned, Maple synthesized Seraphine.
Ryze now has a two-item set!
Not only does Maple have two items, but NL's female sniper also possesses the Infinite Electric Blade.
Flash Wolves' strongest wave!
This time, they chose to engage.
Match time 25 minutes, both sides erupted in a team fight at the small dragon.
Still, Dire's Doomsday initiated first, but this time She Snake promptly put on the Black Shield, whereas Old Bull's own ultimate was knocked out.
First, pull back a bit, watch out for Poppy.
Xu Dongmen kept an eye on the Mimi Egg at all times.
The first wave just now was merely a probing attack; the real slaughter comes next.
Clang—
V stepped on the time field beforehand, creating output space for Xu Dongmen and UZI.
Pull a little, pull a little, the enemy damage is a bit high.
V took a ton of damage in the enemy stack; luckily he had Mercury Treads this round, otherwise he might not have been able to unleash his ultimate.
The two-item Ryze and female sniper have output exceeding expectations, especially NL's female sniper!
This guy didn't build Luden's Hurricane, but instead built the retro Infinite Electric Blade, with considerable burst.
Poppy Poppy!
He didn't flash, he didn't flash!
At the moment V charged into the enemy formation to act as a disruption stick, Xu Dongmen and others also began focusing fire on MMD Poppy.
If Ekko could barely manage a few turns in Flash Wolves' backline, Poppy would be completely unable to bear the frontline burden.
Xu Dongmen and UZI focused fire, and Poppy's flash was triggered in just three seconds.
MMD's development this round is too poor; even now they still don't have two items.
They only have an Ice Fist and a Wraith Crown on them, utterly unable to withstand QG's dual marksmen firepower.
AD, AD!
After popping Poppy's flash, QG's team began to press forward.
V unleashed his ultimate to escape the battlefield, the two sides' carries met in combat.
Xu Dongmen quickly drew his gun and E'd onto the female sniper's face, bang bang two shots forced out the net.
The male gunner was afflicted with weakness; holding his shotgun, he directly handed over.
Boom—
Tiny sniper bullets and thick explosive shells crossed in midair, detonating almost simultaneously.
As the male gunner retreated, Lucian stepped forward, using the holy item pistol to repel the big bald who wanted to chase after his ultimate.
UZI and Xu Dongmen formed a pincer formation!
Brothers, look at me!
Doinb unwilling to fall behind, flashed with a whimsical idea turning the advancing female sniper into a sheep.
Xu Dongmen and UZI, one left and one right, kept up with the output in sync.
Both of their reactions were extraordinarily fast!
Xu Dongmen even sacrificed his flash, moving in for a point‑blank auto‑attack plus Q.
BOOM!
The female cop collapsed, and she even used a death flash.
When their AD was taken out right before them, Karsa and the others flew into a rage, madly focusing fire on Xu Dongmen.
Without flash or ultimate, the male gunner couldn't escape quickly this time.
But the female cop was dead, Pobby was also low, and the Thunder Wolves' remaining Leopard Girl, Ryze, and Morgana were all AP.
Their damage dealt to Xu Dongmen wasn't as effective as expected.
The magic resistance from the Giant Slayer's Sword isn't just for show!
Moreover, Lulu still has her ultimate.
"Grow big, quick!"
After growing, Xu Dongmen didn't retreat but advanced, directly starting to weave through the crowd.
The Thunder Wolves, with great effort, finally whittled down his health, and a purple shield appeared with a chime.
The Savior's Spirit Blade arrived, albeit late!
"0 for 3!"
"The Thunder Wolves are no match in team fights; QG played with too much depth!"
"This Graff, one in and one out, smashed everyone on the Thunder Wolves!"
QG took the fourth small dragon, then pushed the middle second tower, expanding their gold lead to 7K.
If this were the Dragon Soul patch, this would already be a game they couldn't lose.
But given the current patch, it can only be considered a big advantage.
Similar to the Dragon Soul patch, this is also a version where you need to stack small dragon numbers.
The difference is that there is no division into wind, fire, water, earth; the small dragons are all of one type, all called giant dragons.
One dragon, the giant dragon's visage, +6% attack damage and ability power.
Two dragons, the giant dragon's fury, when attacking turrets it deals 30 burn damage over 2 seconds.
Four dragons, the giant dragon's dominance, reducing damage taken from turrets by 20%.
"Just like the Rift Herald, they're both useless."
Xu Dongmen doesn't hide his disdain for the current patch's small dragons, even though he now holds four of them.
Compared to the later elemental dragons, this bonus is as trivial as kids playing house.
Aside from the first tier, everything else is trash stats!
This is why he dislikes controlling dragons.
Controlling them is useless; if you have nothing else to do, you might as well farm more jungle camps.
"Take our buff, I'll go take theirs."
Xu Dongmen gave his team's red buff to Stain, and he took the Thunder Wolves' red buff himself.
Just as he finished the red buff and was leaving, a sudden change occurred—SwordArt went berserk, flashed over the wall, and hooked him with a soul shackle.
"Huh?"
Xu Dongmen remained calm, and despite being slowed, he sidestepped the incoming Dark Binding with a small step.
He immediately followed up with an E onto Morgana's face, unleashing a barrage of damage!
At this point, the Thunder Wolves' outer towers were all down, and the upper jungle was littered with QG wards.
Xu Dongmen was fully aware of the number and positions of nearby enemies.
When the Dark Shackle took effect and the stun struck, he unleashed his ultimate explosion.
Boom——
The Fallen Angel let out a scream and crashed to the ground!
Daring to stay at level 9 against a level 15, his courage is commendable.
"Three little ones!"
The Thunder Wolves' mid and jungle arrived, wanting to avenge their support, but the Leopard Girl's spear was thrown off, and Ryze blew through several Qs in one go.
Xu Dongmen dodged everything he could, waited for the enemy's ability cooldown, then turned and launched a counterattack, chasing Karsa and Maple into disarray, and they dared not step another foot into the jungle.
"Do you think I'm just bluffing?"
Amid the gasps all around, Xu Dongmen's close‑up appeared on the big screen.
On his youthful, sunny face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, without much expression.
But everyone could feel the strength and confidence spilling off the screen.
Don't look at the group stage being rated B, with only a 150% power boost; the 150% on MSI is no worse than the 200% of the spring finals.
After facing champions from leagues worldwide and undergoing intense training matches and competition baptisms, Xu Dongmen grew rapidly, advancing in great strides almost every day.
Thoughts, mindset, experience, mechanics, and big‑picture awareness—all improved 360 degrees!
"Small dragon in one minute."
Leaving base, Xu Dongmen headed straight for the dragon pit.
Not giving the opponents a chance to approach the dragon pit, he smashed the Thunder Wolves into disarray before the small dragon respawned.
Thud~
Accompanying Xu Dongmen's punish, the fifth small dragon was secured, and all of QG bathed in its golden dragon blood.
Five‑dragon buff!
In this era without ancient dragons, the Five Dragons are the ultimate buff of the canyon.
"Actually, it's just a low-spec version of an ancient dragon, lacking the execute effect."
Xu Dongmen made a comparison.
The Five Dragons' one-hammer settle-the-tune effect is definitely inferior to that of an ancient dragon, but for them it's already more than enough.
Next, secure vision, take the big dragon, and seize the high ground!
