Chapter 101
At this moment, the director also replayed the kill footage from earlier in the top lane; it turned out that Kai'Sa and Quisanti saw the dragon acting up, so they directly initiated a teleport under the turret. Su Xing's Yasuo flashed into the turret, found a tricky angle, his whirlwind knocked up both of them and interrupted their teleport! At the instant of the knock‑up, Su Xing followed up with his ultimate; with his level and gear backing it, the moment his ultimate landed Kai'Sa was already low on health. Next came the terror of Su Xing's Yasuo: his Wind Wall blocked Kai'Sa's Q and W, Quisanti's E was dodged by his positioning, and Titan's Q failed to hook him. It seemed like the limit of human operation—some seemingly impossible skills were just brushed aside by him. With no crowd‑control abilities landing, Su Xing's Yasuo was like entering an empty realm, happily starting to slaughter.
He directly secured a triple kill,
Moreover, it was in the enemy base's high ground. After watching the replay kill clip given by the director, the two commentators remained silent for several seconds before speaking.
"This guy is outrageous, you know? How is it possible? A Yasuo diving into the high ground at twenty minutes for a triple kill—do you believe it? The commentators thought tower diving was impossible, but Su Xing pulled it off."
"Let's analyze this play carefully. At first we could have directly interrupted Quisanti's teleport, but Su Xing wasn't satisfied; he used his own flash to adjust an angle, causing his whirlwind to knock up both of them, then upon landing his Wind Wall blocked Kai'Sa's Q and W—that Wind Wall is the key. Also, Quisanti's E... this kind of positioning, sorry, I can't keep going."
Mi Lei's face instantly filled with black lines—this is just outrageous. The commentators couldn't even comment; is this something a human can pull off? You can dodge even this? Mi Lei felt that Su Xing's play in this game had touched his own knowledge blind spot. "No matter what, after that dragon, TESe team gained a huge advantage; they at least need to take down two lanes. Taking down two lanes by twenty minutes—no lineup can withstand that. I think in the upcoming matches, this Yasuo might not be able to appear on the stage."
"Hmm, I feel the same, but if you think about it, RA team's ban slots aren't enough."
The commentators were dumbfounded, let alone the audience. They didn't even notice many details in the replay before seeing Su Xing's Yasuo get a triple kill; for a moment, compared to the noisy cheers on site, the viewers in the online stream seemed a bit quiet.
After a pause of a few seconds, some viewer whose ID starts with something silently typed a line.
"Su Xing: Don't drag me for a checkup—I haven't even peed a drop!"
Immediately after, the entire stream's audience copied that line. To them, the whole clip's operation was just outrageous—can you dodge just by positioning?
"Su Xing, stop this; we don't know how to clear your name."
"It can't be washed away unless we add money!"
"To be frank, should we report Su Xing for being inhuman?"
"Poor my RA top laner... you died so miserably~"
"To be frank, why won't RA's jungler hug the top laner's thigh?"
"To be frank, why won't RA's jungler hug the top laner's thigh?"
"Or maybe the ban/pick is wrong; mid shouldn't have taken Xiao Pao—did this Xiao Pao even have 2000 damage output?"
After TESe team and others obtained the Dragon Buff, they marched straight in and directly took the mid lane high ground; meanwhile, after securing his triple kill, Su Xing easily broke the bottom lane as well, and RA team's situation instantly shifted from having victory in hand to desperate struggle.
This heaven‑to‑hell contrast made all five RA team members frown tightly. "There's still one chance."
RA's top laner took a deep breath, knowing his win chance was likely under ten percent, but he had to encourage his teammates to keep going at this moment.
Just give them ten minutes—no, eight minutes will do! Eight minutes, ten? After all, with a Guardian Angel they could tower dive without fear.
"Just take down all three lanes!"
Under Su Xing's lead, the five TESe members marched high‑spirited toward the top lane, with the mid laner's thigh to hold onto—what else could they worry about? The coach said, be aggressive! Bring the minion wave into the top lane high ground; both sides were in a final standoff, with RA team's four members defending top lane and an Xiao Pao handling the mid and bottom lane minion waves.
The minion wave boosted by the Dragon Buff began
"Let me tell you, push the tower, push the tower, push the tower—you get it?"
Su Xing reminded them with a solemn face, but the next moment his Yasuo just E‑dashed straight into the minion wave.
Everyone: →_→
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Xiao Tian took the lead, keeping pace with Su Xing's speed by feeling his way.
Then the three teammates behind made it even more outrageous! As support, Braum flashed and unleashed his ultimate right away; in the blink of an eye he shook off Xiao Tian's blind monk.
"Holy shit. Are you a beast?"
Xiao Tian was shocked—this brutal? But even more absurd, 369's Lan Bo went overboard, raising his hand to unleash his ultimate that sealed off the area near the enemy high‑ground turret.
Xiao Tian:. Tian Ye:. This scene also frightened the RA team members—how could this squad be so ferocious?
RA's top laner's heart sank slightly; he suddenly felt powerless at this scene, he was too familiar with it—he could even guess what would happen next, for once TESe team gained an advantage they would immediately face‑smash!
What is a turret? It would be better if it didn't exist—first smash face, kill everyone, then talk about other things.
But for the other RA team members, it was a bit hard to get used to; in the perception of many Korean teams, LPL squads have always been imitating LCK's playstyle—that is, macro play, all kinds of macro!
Even when facing a huge advantage, they would still advance extremely steadily with macro play.
This is the lowest‑risk method; although it's also the most boring way to play, a match only has win or loss, nothing else!
This is also why the RA team thinks they have a chance to turn things around—after all, comparing macro with them, LPL teams are just showing off their skills before a master.
As a result, the TESe team actually dared to tower dive with the Dragon Buff—was it all five of them together?
"Hit the tower, hit the tower, hit the tower!"
Su Xing, seeing this momentum, instantly got anxious—those teammates of his, what a reckless move; never mind, never mind, as the team captain he needed to rein in this over‑excited bunch at this moment.
To let his teammates calm down and safely take down the turret, Su Xing had no choice but to rush at top speed toward the four RA members, directly using E‑Q whirlwind then his ultimate 【Last Breath】! Support Tian Ye's passive triggered, Xiao Tian's ultimate Dragon Tail swipe, top laner Lan Bo's ultimate blocked their retreat, AD Ashe's ultimate quickly followed to create a control chain, and Lan Bo began spamming his red‑buff Q with basic attacks.
However, Su Xing turned into a happy wind man, continually darting through his ultimate's area to reap kills.
"DoubleKill", "TripleKill", "QuadraKill", 369 showed a bewildered expression—eh? Why is his Yasuo getting four kills!?!? He dealt damage like a tiger, yet ended up with only four assists?
Holy shit. Still playing? He turned his head to glance at Su Xing, and Su Xing also turned his gaze over; 369 immediately switched tone: "Su bro, you're awesome!!!"
"How many times have I told you to take the tower? You know this is a tower‑taking game—later I'll let Mao Kai scold you to death." Su Xing said ruefully: "If it weren't to stop you from getting carried away, how would I have ended up with four kills?"
Everyone: →_→
Xiao Tian looked like he wanted to speak but held back; if I remember correctly, just now it seemed Su Xing was the first to rush in, right?
Why, after getting the quadra kill, could the captain still righteous‑ly shift the blame onto them?
These days, can you even be forced into a quadra kill?
"PentaKill"! At that very moment when the four were stunned, the game announced a pentakill team wipe; they looked at the screen and saw Su Xing happily prancing beside the two outer turrets, with Xiao Pao's corpse still warm at his feet. "Ah, these people are really enthusiastic—I'll grudgingly take this pentakill."
Everyone:. This operation also stunned the two commentators, Wa Wa and Mi Lei, who instinctively began to explain some players' moves, but in the end they couldn't keep up with TESe team's rhythm—this is way too fast, whatever happened to the promised macro?
"What about the promised teamfight tug‑of‑war?"
"How did you all just rush in like that?"
"Do you know whether the commentators' speech speed can't keep up with your hand speed?"
"Pentakill! The first pentakill of this World Championship has appeared!"
"So damn awesome! Three minutes ago we still thought TESe team couldn't drag on any longer; three minutes later TESe team broke the enemy's three lane high grounds, came with a pentakill team wipe, my heavens"
"This is truly terrifying—in the blink of an eye they took down two lane high grounds, then in another blink they cleared all three lanes and wiped the enemy team; this TESe squad is no longer the one we knew, but it has become far more frightening—no one expected this to happen."
"When we say fight here, does everyone feel that last year's team is gone, but their style has returned again, and it's even more terrifying!"
"At this point, I have to say congratulations to TES for winning today's match."
The audience at the venue couldn't help but all stand up and cheer; three minutes ago they were still worrying about how TES would play in the late game, watching as RA's mid‑lane core was about to die ten minutes in, but TES simply wouldn't reason with them. Yasuo alone went up the high ground, tower‑dived and got three kills, instantly changing the situation! The most outrageous was the final wave: Su Xing, at the slightest disagreement, went up the high ground and got five kills, and it wasn't just him doing it—the whole team acted with the mindset that if you have an advantage you must go for it. For LPL viewers, this scene was incredibly nostalgic; last year's TES also had a similar style, but this year's TES seems to have executed it even more thoroughly! Don't talk about lane matchups; if you make a mistake I will solo kill you.
And don't say anything about whether it's a team fight or not; kill one, kill a pair, if anyone dares to block my teammate from taking the Baron, I'll just go up the high ground!
And don't even talk about whether it's 'operational' or not; as long as you have an advantage, what are turrets anyway? This is the kind of match they've always wanted to see! A match full of blood and passion! This is the most core, most primal thing in the LPL region! Over the years, LPL viewers aren't afraid of losing a match, but every year the style is 'operational to death'; a perfectly fine team becomes bloodless, learning to play 'operational', playing Four Protect One year after year, it's always like this. They're willing to wait another year, yet each year they inexplicably lose, forfeiting the original bloodiness of the LPL region, leaving them helpless.
But today's TES performance made them see that revived bloodiness return again; in a thousand words, a single sentence nearly blew the roof off the arena.
"Su Xing is awesome!"
"He's back, he's back, my youth is back!"
"Seeing this tower dive puts my mind at ease; indeed, tower diving is the steady play!"
"Wooo, the practice match was meek, the league comes out swinging? Su Xing is awesome!"
"Feels good~ If we could play overseas matches like this, even if we don't get the championship this year, I'd still brag!"
"Call T1 over for me!"
"And also call Samsung over for me."
"I guess RA's top laner will be sulking for a while, but picking Xiao Pao in this BP is absurd."
"The facts show you shouldn't pick a trash pick to lane against Su Xing, otherwise you'll start questioning your life."
"Has WE learned? Learn how others play!"
"If LPL teams had played like this earlier, what would the LCK region have left to do?"
"My husband's pentakill looks so cool!"
"Get out!"
The online stream room erupted instantly; this battle was overwhelmingly shocking to them.
From start to finish, it boils down to two words: exciting!
The match footage froze on the moment RA's nexus exploded; aside from Su Xing, the other four looked somewhat happy—what a thrilling feeling! Xiao Tian hugged top laner 369 briefly and then wanted to hug Su Xing, but Su Xing made a disdainful face and said, "Get out! Winner's regular season is watching you show off."
The camera happened to catch this scene; both the live audience and online viewers couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although Su Xing wore a look of disdain toward his over‑excited teammate, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth showed that Su Xing was indeed in a good mood.
"In short, Su bro is awesome!"
Xiao Tian's face turned red; it's fine if we don't hug now, just hug the thigh in the game.
"Let's go, let's go, go shake hands, stay calm, it's just an RA team, straighten your back, and get ready for our Saudi World Cup!"
After packing up the keyboard and mouse and returning backstage, the club's staff, who had been waiting early, all smiled and congratulated the triumphant returning players.
Winning the match in such a clean, decisive way, nothing could be more pleasing.
But only Mao Kai wore a stern face watching the five, even though he was happy to clinch the first match, he knew that as a coach he sometimes has to put on a sour expression.
Can't let these dogs drift away, this is only the first group‑stage match, stay calm, stay calm! (End of chapter)
