Chapter 104

Even the audience can see the strengths and weaknesses, so how could the ten players in the game not know? When Jin and Bulong showed up on mid lane, Su Xing's mouth twitched slightly—just can't play? Swapping players is one thing, but swapping the bottom lane for a few, what's the point, huh?

Do you really think you don't dare to kill? Especially when Bulong was placing the true sight Su Xing had previously dropped, Su Xing became even more displeased. Bulong's champion has very low dual resistances, and because it's a duo lane the level gap is even larger, so after this A lands, Bulong is scared and instantly uses Flash. Xiao Tian: This is too realistic, huh? "What kind of ghost damage is this?" Bulong was about to cry; he just A'd himself and almost knocked himself in.

"Now you understand me, right?" Hu Li said mournfully. Bulong: "Understand what? Isn't this because you delivered it?"

"I have to go home for a bit." Bulong shook his head, letting Jin pull back a bit. With this kind of damage, if De La Wen uses his ultimate, he'll really have to take his hands off the keyboard and wait for death.

"Xiao Tian, come over and tank the tower."

Su Xing glanced at the minion wave; it was truly stuck, so he could only let the wave go in, which sparked the idea of diving the tower.

Xiao Tian: Alright, just a tower‑tank tool then.

But to be fair, the mid laner is the team's 'big thigh'; is it really humiliating to have the big thigh tank a defensive tower?

No, not at all humiliating.

After all, a 'big thigh' kill is worth a lot; I can die, but the big thigh must not die!

"Kill Jin, then push the tower, then start invading the jungle," Su Xing said. "Put some pressure on San Shu, tell him that I was already champion before you became champion."

"."

Xiao Tian's mouth twitched slightly; honestly, after more than a month of pairing with him, he still finds this style a bit hard to adapt to.

Jin, even under the defensive tower, dared not relax, even pulling back a distance, fearing Su Xing's De La Wen would rush up and hammer him. He knew he was only Level 6, while the mid‑lane De La Wen was already Level 9.

A three‑level gap is truly hard to withstand.

"Now gen's duo is also suffering; Jin doesn't even dare to farm experience under the tower, can only keep distance and look for a chance to A a low‑HP minion," Mi Lei lamented. "All five layers of the tower's coating are being eaten by Su Xing alone, which makes De La Wen's mid‑lane advantage even larger."

"Who says not? It feels gen's performance in this match is off; five tower layers plus a first‑blood tower reward, this De La Wen was truly unstoppable twenty minutes ago," Guan Zeyuan shook his head, speaking in a tone of iron‑to‑steel frustration: "I think regardless of win or loss, gen must re‑examine their lane‑handling details."

"Yes, the mid‑lane gap is truly huge," Mi Lei agreed. "But the current situation is very bleak for gen; tes should be going for the first Fire Dragon now. Wait, what is Huo Nan trying to do?"

"Wow, Xiao Tian, that's just rude. Jin retreated to the second tower and you still force a tower dive?"

"This…"

Both commentators were stunned; isn't this the time to take map resources? Why still tower dive? Can someone explain the logic? Everyone else retreated to the second tower and you're trying to kill outright. In‑game, Huo Nan chose to invade the opposite jungle, released a skill through the wall that rooted Jin, then leapt up and landed a combo; Jin was almost dead, the bind effect hadn't even taken hold, and Su Xing's De La Wen instantly fired a long‑range Q, instantly taking Jin.

That damage was simply outrageous. "Su Ge, I'll go get the Fire Dragon first."

Having silently finished tanking the tower, Xiao Tian looked at his assist +1 and smiled happily.

"What Fire Dragon? I'll take you to Talon's jungle for a stroll."

After killing Jin, the mid‑lane first tower fell shortly after; as a first‑blood tower reward, Su Xing's economy surged, allowing him to buy a two‑piece armor set, boosting his damage to the next level, making the five opponents in front of him seem like paper‑thin.

With economic and level lead, his De La Wen at this stage is an unbeatable big BOSS.

"Not taking the Fire Dragon?" Xiao Tian asked weakly. "If we don't take it, Mao Kai will scold us during the replay later."

"It's fine, does the bottom‑lane duo even guard a Fire Dragon? Then they deserve the scolding." Su Xing said earnestly: "I'll tell you, the best way to stop others from getting map resources is to kill them all, so they can't contest the resources, understand?"

Bottom‑lane You Wenbo and Tian Ye: O__O "Is it really like that?" Xiao Tian was half‑skeptical, feeling Su Xing was lying.

After returning home, Su Xing smoothly upgraded to the Collector and a Great Storm Sword, and also had an attack‑speed boot.

Ten minutes in, when De La Wen with this gear appeared before everyone, the live audience couldn't help but gasp: such a fierce De La Wen, who could survive that slash?

However, just when they thought tes would push down the bottom lane and take the Fire Dragon, De La Wen, together with jungle Huo Nan, quietly invaded the opposite jungle. "Why aren't they taking the Fire Dragon yet?" gen's jungle Talon watched the Rift Herald with a wistful look; as long as tes takes the Fire Dragon, he can take the Rift Herald and help top‑lane Lan Bo expand his advantage.

But for some reason tes seemed completely uninterested in the Fire Dragon; they didn't go for it, and he didn't have the guts to go for the Rift Herald for fear of being baited.

"Wait, they can't be invading the jungle, right?" Talon startled, "There's that possibility… Foggrass. tes really doesn't want to be human!!!?"

"No, my top‑lane vision is decent; if they invade, we'll definitely see them."

Talon felt much relieved; although tes claimed they loved studying opponents' matches, they couldn't also study gen's players to the bone, could they?

With that thought, Talon planned to farm a buff in his own jungle then head top for an opportunity. The mid‑lane 'big son' was underperforming, so hope fell to the top‑lane 'little son'; as for ADC, forget it—this patch's ADC doesn't even qualify to be a top‑lane son.

Counting on ADC to turn the tables and become 'dad' would take over thirty minutes, and whether there's still thirty minutes left makes no difference. Yet at that moment, a strange skill burst from the nearby brush, rooting Talon in place; a blinding flash struck him, his HP instantly dropped to zero, and in an instant Talon's view turned black and white.

"?"

Talon paused, then slowly placed a question‑mark marker at the spot of his death.

What is this? What just happened to me? Huo Nan and De La Wen?

Why are they here!!!?

"Why did they directly invade our jungle?" Talon showed an incredulous look; he had been watching the mini‑map the whole time and saw no sign of an invasion, yet the two appeared right in front of him and their combined damage instantly killed him.

"Don't ask; the answer is I've studied gen's team." Su Xing gave a glance at Xiao Tian, who was about to speak. Xiao Tian: His heart instantly filled with admiration for Su Xing like a raging river, "Su Ge is too terrifying."

Studying previous LPL teams is one thing; after all, the LCK's heavyweight teams have the right to be studied, right?

In a thousand words, he only wanted to say: strategically despise the opponent, tactically respect the enemy; that fits Su Xing's style.

"Go give their Lan Bo a hard time."

Su Xing glanced at the mid lane; after gen's duo entered mid, they became completely obedient, not daring to push the wave outward, fearing another De La Wen chase over the tower.

Top‑lane Lan Bo also sensed the danger and began to retreat; at the second tower he indeed saw Huo Nan and De La Wen emerge from the jungle flank.

"My god."

Lan Bo felt his heart race; if he slowed down he'd be trapped between two defensive towers. The next second Lan Bo's expression turned frantic: "Wait, what are you two doing? In front of me is the top‑lane second tower, behind me is the high ground; what are you two trying to do to me?" "I'll tank the tower, I'll tank the tower." Top‑lane 369, controlling Quisanti, tried to jump in for an assist, but Su Xing said, "Tank your sister, go back eat the coating."

"Oh."

Quisanti immediately, feeling aggrieved, went back to eat the coating. As for Lan Bo, he threw everything into flashy moves, but De La Wen swung an axe A over, and the damage number somehow felt utterly despairing.

"nice."

After climbing the high ground and killing Lan Bo, the kill was taken by Xiao Tian's Huo Nan, making him feel a bit elated.

"Xiao Tian, your Q damage is a bit high, huh?" 369 said while pushing the tower, hinting. Poor Lan Bo was cut down by De La Wen's axe A, losing most of his health bar, then Huo Nan tossed a skill that instantly emptied his remaining HP.

"You damn thing, you're sowing discord!!!"

Xiao Tian glared at the fire‑spouting 369, then chuckled, "I didn't control it this time, my, my, the kill should go to Su Ge."

Su Xing: →_→

As Su Xing's mid‑lane De La Wen broke free, the game's tone instantly became absurd: invading the enemy jungle, flanking from behind, tower dives, and strong kills. De La Wen's continual jungle invasions put massive pressure on gen's top‑lane Lan Bo, gradually erasing even the last bit of advantage.

The top laner couldn't lane alone, the mid laner completely collapsed, and the bot lane's development was endlessly suppressed.

Twenty minutes in, all three lanes' minion waves were pushed to the high ground! Every move during that time had the live audience exclaiming in amazement—this match was so exhilarating you were either in the midst of tower diving or just finished tower diving, with not a single dull moment throughout! This is the TES team's style! 'Twenty minutes in, the gold difference has reached ten thousand; it looks like we have to congratulate the TES team again.' Guan Zeyuan said on the commentator's desk with utter regret, GEN lost this match in a terribly stifling way—summing it up in one sentence, everyone, human or ghost, was putting on a show, except every GEN member was getting beaten.

'Yes, perhaps this is the TES team; in this match they pushed their style to the extreme—whatever dragon, whatever Rift Herald, I don't want any of them!' Mi Lei said generously: 'Especially Su Xing's Draven play makes one involuntarily think of two words: extravagant.'

'That said, the problems exposed by the TES team in this game are also quite significant—their control of map resources and vision rate seem rather low; if they face a previous LPL team next time, this could become a turning point.' Guan Zeyuan tried hard to give GEN a bit of face, but as he spoke he didn't know what to say.

The whole crowd was being beaten like bots, and no matter how you wash it off, it feels like a stain that won't come off. 'Actually, my feeling from this game is that the TES team is training its members; upon close observation, the absolute core of the current TES team is mid laner Su Xing. As a top-tier mid laner, he is striving to let his teammates adapt to the pace of this level of competition, and we can see Su Xing's true growth—that is, becoming a leader.'

'In the game League of Legends, excellent players are common, but an excellent leader is rarely seen.' Mi Lei spared no praise, for he also loves the TES team's blood‑filled style—advantage never comes from macro play, it comes from fighting!

'As long as we gain a slight edge, I dare to repeatedly rub your face in the dirt and teach you how to behave!' Regarding such remarks, Guan Zeyuan also couldn't refute them, because one must admit that in a normal match, Su Xing is the TES team's absolute core! This feeling is unique—no matter how disadvantaged the teammates are, as long as Su Xing stays alive, the team possesses infinite possibilities!

Online stream viewers also went crazy with praise; although this looks like a one‑sided stomp, the opponents didn't miss their timing either—they're genuinely strong, so watching it feels exhilarating! This extremely aggressive style makes them love it; frankly, many people find most matches boring because they consist solely of macro play and macro play. Damn it, a twenty‑minute game with not a single kill is meaningless to watch. Especially matches from other regions—after watching them, people just want to curse. Two teams fight over the fire dragon, then linger around it for three minutes, during which no one dies and the fire dragon doesn't die either.

This kind of game makes them want to sleep, but only a TES team match can make them watch and watch until they can't help shouting excitedly.

Screw the macro play—it's all about fighting! 'The TES team's match today was too fierce, right? From start to finish you were either killing someone or in the process of having just killed someone.'

'One word: exhilarating—this is what a damn match should be!'

'Have you noticed? Since Su Xing returned, the whole TES team seems to have become different. Back when that mid laner was around, it wasn't that they weren't strong; it just felt lifeless, lacking something.'

'Brother, this three‑star Draven comes with a wild tower‑diving buff built in; once it's on the field it can activate the Marauder bond, turning everyone into marauders.'
