Coach Lin walked into the soundproof booth with a beaming smile. Having taken the first game, the subsequent Ban/Pick (BP) phase would be much easier to handle. He looked at the players and said, "We are on the Red Side for the second game, so we can pick a pair of heroes simultaneously. Do you want to secure Mid-Jungle or Marksman-Support first?"
Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other and spoke at the same time: "Take the Bot lane."
They had prioritized grabbing Mid-Jungle in the first game because they wanted to play the Tracking Strategy. In the second game, they didn't necessarily need to play a Mid-Jungle synergy. Both of them had deep hero pools and could pick last, so ensuring a good pick for Cheng Xing was more important.
Coach Lin thought the same. He leaned close to Cheng Xing's ear and whispered, "Although your performance in the first game wasn't as flashy as the Mid-Jungle duo, I watched from off-stage. You didn't make a single mistake the entire game. Excellent work, keep it up."
Cheng Xing, happy to be praised, nodded earnestly. "Mn, I know."
Coach Lin said, "Everyone keep up the good work. Let's try to take another game!"
The break ended, and the second game officially began.
In this game, Tianhuan was on the Red Side, while Jingzhe was on the Blue Side with the first pick priority.
The playoffs used a Global BP format, meaning heroes used by a team could not be used again. For example, the five heroes Tianhuan used in Game 1—[Black Dragon Knight], [Holy Paladin], [Soul Reaper], [Spirit Butterfly], and [Machine Gun Hunter]—could not be selected by Tianhuan again. When Jingzhe did their bans, they could skip over these heroes.
However, heroes Jingzhe used in Game 1, like [Sharpshooter] and [Dark Angel], were available for Tianhuan to pick in Game 2.
Coach Chen started by targeting the Top lane, banning [Man of Steel] and [Dark Angel] consecutively, leaving Old Qin with no tanks to choose from.
Lin Feng continued to target the Marksman position, banning Xie Yuan's specialties, [Wind Elf] and [Holy Archer].
For their first pick, Jingzhe immediately locked in Fang Zhengqing's [Cobra King].
On Tianhuan's side, they used their 1st and 2nd slots to pick the Bot lane duo: [Meteor Arrow] + [Shield of Glory].
Jingzhe's 2nd and 3rd picks were the utility Jungler [Fighter] and Marksman [Poison Warlock].
Tianhuan's 3rd pick was the Top laner [Berserker].
After the first phase of picks, many spectators were jaw-dropped.
[Haven't seen Jingzhe's Poison Team in a long time!]
[Cobra King + Poison Warlock, it's the Poison Team from Jingzhe's dual carries.]
[Old Qin's tanks were all banned, so he picked Berserker to split push? Feels a bit risky!]
[Xiao Xing picked the new hero? Meteor Arrow's darts are really hard to hit, aren't they?]
Seeing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but say, "It seems Tianhuan made a lot of preparations for the playoffs. In the first game, they brought out the Tracking System, and in the second game, Xiao Xing chose the new hero [Meteor Arrow] that was just released recently!"
Brother Dong introduced, "This is a hero that relies on darts to deal damage. It requires frequent skill usage, and the thrown darts aren't locked-on attacks, making them easy to miss. It has relatively high demands on the player's mechanics."
Yao Mu said, "That's right. [Meteor Arrow]'s darts can stack 'Bleed' after consecutive hits, while [Poison Warlock]'s toxic arrows stack 'Poison' on hit. The two Marksmen in the bottom lane—'you stack poison on me, I make you bleed'—are both heroes that rely on stacking negative status effects to deal damage."
In the second phase, since Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang hadn't picked heroes yet, Jingzhe targeted the Mid lane like crazy; Tianhuan, meanwhile, banned two Top laners to relieve pressure on Old Qin.
Tianhuan's 4th pick was [Sun Wheel Mage].
Jingzhe's 4th and 5th picks were [Rose Blade] for Top and [Bounty Warlock] for Support.
For Tianhuan's final counter pick, Chi Shu selected [Moon Shadow].
The lineups for both sides were finally confirmed. The two commentators looked at each other in surprise, and the netizens were equally puzzled.
[Doesn't Jingzhe's Poison Team usually use Dark Priest as support?]
[This is a variant Poison Team! Bounty Warlock accelerates gold gain for the dual poison cores, making the early game tempo even faster!]
[Tianhuan's lineup is a bit weird. Sun Wheel Mage, Moon Shadow, Meteor Arrow… exactly a Sun, Moon, and Star combination? Is this a coincidence or intentional?]
[I feel like the coaching staff deliberately put together a Sun-Moon-Star system!]
[Sun Wheel Mage] had a very violent playstyle and could be played as a melee battle mage. [Meteor Arrow] fired ranged darts to stack bleeds and quickly lower enemy health bars. [Moon Shadow] needed to refresh moonlight marks to weave in and out of the battlefield and harvest kills. These three heroes could indeed work together.
As for Team Jingzhe, Cobra King + Poison Warlock was a classic Double Poison lineup, which was already strong in the early game. After swapping the support to [Bounty Warlock], the ability to increase gold for nearby teammates would accelerate their early game tempo.
Yao Mu analyzed, "Jingzhe's variant Poison Team has a faster rhythm than their previous version. Before, using a healing support allowed them to poison the opponent while recovering health, making it suited for attrition warfare. Now, switching to a gold-generating support allows the dual carries to build their core items at maximum speed. Once they do, no one can withstand the damage from the double poison."
Brother Dong said, "The reason the Poison Team is formidable is that most heroes have very low Magic Defense in the early game. When [Cobra King] and [Poison Warlock] coordinate to stack poison up to 5 layers, even tanks will hemorrhage health. Every step they take deals damage. You simply can't win a team fight against the Poison Team in the early game. With this variant Poison Team, the early tempo is even fiercer. Jingzhe probably wants to end the game quickly!"
"Remember the Group S match in the regular season? Jingzhe used the Bounty Warlock early-game system to win a game against Tianhuan. This kind of early-game lineup makes it very easy to establish an advantage and snowball! Jingzhe's Iron Triangle of dual carries plus support has incredible synergy! Can Tianhuan's Sun, Moon, Star combination withstand the Poison Team's early offensive?" Yao Mu paused, then smiled. "Let us look forward to the second duel between these two sides!"
The second game started quickly.
A long time ago, also at the Star City E-sports Center, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu had sat in the audience watching a match. Chi Shu had posed as a coach while chatting with Ye Shaoyang, and they had discussed Jingzhe's Poison Team.
Ye Shaoyang had once said to Chi Shu, "The best way to deal with the poison stacking attrition strategy is for the Mid and Jungle to link up and instantly delete the Poison Team's core… Although it's hard, there's always hope to achieve it."
Jingzhe's Poison Team was strong, so most coaches would ban Fang Zhengqing's [Cobra King] to prevent them from assembling it. However, no lineup was invincible; there was always a way to crack it.
Jingzhe had their Iron Triangle; Tianhuan had the Sun, Moon, and Star!
The Poison Team was strong early game, but they couldn't possibly group up as a five-man ball right from the start, could they? They still had to split up to clear the three lanes of minions.
As long as they separated, there was a chance to defeat them one by one.
Ye Shaoyang's style was the "headstrong" approach of facing difficulties head-on.
You're strong? Then I want to clash with you even more to see who wins!
In the regular season's Group S stage, Jingzhe brought out the "Bounty Warlock" system. The early tempo was too fast, catching Tianhuan off guard, and Tianhuan had indeed lost a game.
Now that Jingzhe had picked an even stronger early-game Poison Team system than before…
Either face it head-on or stall for the late game.
Coach Lin asked, "Yangyang is commanding this game. Do you plan to fight head-on early, or drag it out?"
Ye Shaoyang said decisively, "Let's fight. We might not necessarily be able to out-stall a Poison Team in the late game. Back in the regular season, we failed to drag it out and were finished off early by Fang Zhengqing."
He looked at Chi Shu, seeking his opinion with his eyes.
Chi Shu said calmly, "You are the commander. I trust your decision."
Ye Shaoyang smiled slightly and said to his teammates, "Alright, let's do this, everyone!"
Cheng Xing shouted excitedly, "Jiayou!"
In terms of damage output, Cheng Xing might not be the highest.
But when it came to shouting "Jiayou," he was definitely the loudest.
Ye Shaoyang said, "Xiao Xing, pay attention to the details during laning. Recall if you're low on health; just don't die."
Cheng Xing: "Received!"
In this game, Xiao Xing had to withstand the pressure in the bottom lane and not get exploded by Xie Yuan during the laning phase. meanwhile, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu needed to find a breakthrough and figure out a way to kill the Poison Team's cores, Fang Zhengqing or Xie Yuan.
Chi Shu asked, "Are we contesting the first Blue?"
Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment. "Your hero [Moon Shadow] is very dependent on the Blue Buff. Jingzhe will definitely come to invade. No one can beat the Poison Team in a Level 1 fight. I'll go with you to take Red. We'll time it and fight for the second Blue."
Chi Shu nodded decisively. "Okay. Starting with two Reds is acceptable."
The hero [Moon Shadow] relied on skills for damage. The Q-skill applied a Moonlight Mark, and basic attacks on marked targets triggered a guaranteed critical hit. After Level 6, his Q, W, and R skills could all apply marks. The R-skill (Ultimate) not only dealt massive damage but also allowed him to dash over walls, and the cooldown refreshed immediately upon hitting a marked target. Therefore, [Moon Shadow] could use the marks to jump around everywhere, chaining infinite combos.
However, without the Blue Buff, if he couldn't refresh the marks fast enough, the combo would break. A [Moon Shadow] with a broken combo was like a [Sky Mage] that had crashed—rushing into the crowd with no way out, easily losing his life.
Everyone knew this hero lacked mana, so Jingzhe would definitely invade the Blue early on.
And sure enough, as soon as the game started, Jingzhe's Top, Mid, and Jungle grouped up to invade the Blue. The Marksman and Support guarded their own Blue. Fang Zhengqing clearly didn't want to give Chi Shu either of the Blue buffs.
No one could beat the Poison Team in a Level 1 team fight. If Tianhuan tried to force a fight for the Blue, they would likely be poisoned to death.
So, Tianhuan didn't even look at the Blue and simply detoured to take Red.
Seeing this, the two commentators couldn't help but say, "Tianhuan gave up the Blue Buff to take Red! Avoiding battle with the Poison Team early on prevents them from being crippled or killed, which would break their rhythm. But… by giving up Blue, [Moon Shadow]'s jungle clear speed will be very slow."
Brother Dong said, "Actually, this decision is very rational. Clearing slowly is better than dying, right? A death for the Jungler early game is truly too damaging. Giving up Blue and starting with two Red buffs is a relatively good choice."
This was Chi Shu's first time starting with double Reds.
Ye Shaoyang seemed stubborn, but he actually had a plan. Chi Shu had two Red buffs stacked on him. Although his jungle efficiency didn't increase, he secured the experience and gold from the buffs, making his level the highest in the game.
After clearing Red, Chi Shu immediately went to the Mid lane to contest the River Crab.
Ye Shaoyang actively stood beside the River Crab, using his body to block Fang Zhengqing's small snakes. The crab reached low health, and both Junglers used Smite simultaneously. In the end, the crab went to Chi Shu.
Yao Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The River Crab was beaten up by four people, and finally snatched by Shuoyue? It seems it was burned to death by the Red Buff!"
Brother Dong said, "Yes, the burn damage from the Red Buff can't be ignored. The Smites from both Junglers were only milliseconds apart. I don't know if it was luck, or if Shuoyue calculated the Red Buff burn as well."
They used Smite one after another. It looked like Chi Shu got lucky, but in reality, Chi Shu calculated it more precisely. In the past month of training matches, Tianhuan often played from behind. Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang had coordinated on the "River Crab Snatch" segment countless times; they knew the timing by heart.
After getting double buffs and the River Crab, Chi Shu's level was the highest on the field, quickly reaching Level 6.
He seized the opportunity to kill the Small Dragon, but Xie Yuan and Li Yunmo supported quickly, forcing Chi Shu to give it up helplessly.
Cheng Xing in the bottom lane was having an incredibly hard time.
Li Yunmo's [Bounty Warlock] support followed Xie Yuan's [Poison Warlock] the entire time. Xie Yuan's equipment was ahead of Cheng Xing's, and his poison stacking efficiency was faster. often, when Cheng Xing had applied three stacks of darts, Xie Yuan had already stacked four layers of poison.
When Cheng Xing was poisoned down to a sliver of health, Xie Yuan's health was still around 50%. Qu Jiang held up his shield in front to block damage, but even he couldn't withstand layer after layer of poison. The two had to recall.
Tianhuan's fans felt their hearts clench seeing this and discussed among themselves: "It seems Xiao Xing can't beat A-Yuan in lane? He's being suppressed so badly."
"Bleed damage isn't as good as Poison. Of course he can't win a 1v1. This Marksman is more suited for team fights."
"But, it'll be hard to beat the Poison Team in early team fights too, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Even if we lose this game, it's just 1:1. We can start over."
Not long after Cheng Xing and Qu Jiang returned to the lane, Xie Yuan, Li Yunmo, and Jingzhe's Jungler, Blade, joined forces to suppress them again. In a 3v2, Qu Jiang died on the spot trying to block Xie Yuan's ultimate poison arrow for Cheng Xing.
——First Blood!
Xie Yuan took Qu Jiang's head, while Cheng Xing escaped with a sliver of health.
At this point in the match, most spectators didn't have high hopes for Tianhuan's Sun-Moon-Star system.
In the bottom lane, Cheng Xing had to recall with low health twice within just 6 minutes, losing a wave of minions. Qu Jiang had been killed trying to cover him. Meanwhile, Xie Yuan had a "gold-generating" support following him, plus the First Blood reward. His equipment was getting better and better, and the gap between the two Marksmen was widening.
After clearing the wave, Xie Yuan buried himself in the jungle to farm. Fang Zhengqing timed it perfectly and led his teammates to invade and take the Blue again.
Seeing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but feel anxious. "If this goes on and Shuoyue keeps being denied Blue, his jungle rhythm will be affected, and it will be hard for him to gank lanes, right?"
Brother Dong said, "Jingzhe calculated the Blue Buff respawn time perfectly. Tianhuan's Blue is being stolen again… Wait!"
On the big screen, the camera cut to the Mid lane.
Ye Shaoyang saw Fang Zhengqing going to invade Blue, but he didn't go to support. Instead, he crouched in the river brush, doing who knows what. The director focused the camera on Ye Shaoyang, and the audience was puzzled: "Yangyang is dazing out in the bush?" "Did he disconnect?!"
Ye Shaoyang remained motionless in the bush; it really looked like a disconnect.
Until 5 seconds later, when the corner of a garment flashed through Ye Shaoyang's peripheral vision—
Ye Shaoyang Flashed forward without hesitation. The wheel in his hand smashed toward the opponent like a storm. The golden skill effects of the [Solar Mage] were as dazzling as the summer sun!
At the same time, Chi Shu, who was killing monsters in his own jungle (Red side), suddenly used his R-skill ultimate to apply a Moonlight Mark on the Small Dragon. Immediately following that, he used the mark as a stepping stone to fly a super long distance to Lie Yang's side!
Originally, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu were very far apart—one in the river brush, the other in his own jungle.
But in this moment, the Sun-Moon linkage seemed to instantly pull them together!
And the person Ye Shaoyang stunned with his wheel was none other than Li Yunmo's [Bounty Warlock]. The person Chi Shu flew over to target using the Moonlight Mark was also Li Yunmo's [Bounty Warlock].
Hitting the same person despite such a distance—the Sun-Moon duo's tacit understanding was always worthy of the fans' trust! Li Yunmo was caught off guard and was instantly deleted by the combined force of [Sun Wheel Mage] + [Moon Shadow]!
Yao Mu shouted excitedly, "Beautiful! This Sun-Moon linkage was completely unexpected."
Brother Dong said, "Yes, A-Yun placed vision just now and saw Shuoyue taking Red in his own jungle. That's why he boldly led Round-Round (Xie Yuan) to steal the Blue Buff. He didn't expect Lie Yang to be crouching in the side brush the whole time. Shuoyue taking Red was just a feint. Their goal was to kill your Support and take your Blue Buff!"
Chi Shu doing Red halfway and using the Small Dragon as a springboard to fly across the map to kill Li Yunmo—who could have predicted that? Lie Yang and Shuoyue's surprise attack sent the support Li Yunmo straight back to base.
Xie Yuan didn't dare fight a 1v2 and had to helplessly give up the Blue Buff.
Chi Shu finally secured his first Blue Buff. Li Yunmo's death also affected Xie Yuan's farming rhythm. Tianhuan had been suppressed by Jingzhe throughout the early game, but this single play turned the tables and gave the bottom lane time to breathe. Cheng Xing quickly rushed to the bottom lane to clear minions and farm, while Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu dove into the jungle together.
Against the Poison Team, it was very hard to win a head-on fight in the early game.
But if you only stalled for the late game, Jingzhe wouldn't just watch and let you stall until they died.
Rather than waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, it was better to actively look for opportunities.
Ye Shaoyang's strategy was to adapt to the situation, catching the opponent when they were isolated to force a breakthrough.
For Jingzhe's Poison Team, Fang Zhengqing + Xie Yuan together formed the complete unit. As long as they were separated, they could be defeated one by one.
Once the opponent's rhythm broke, their own Marksman could farm in peace.
The hero Xiao Xing picked this game, [Meteor Arrow], happened to have an ultimate with massive AoE damage. Once he built his core items and joined team fights, he could deal incredibly high damage.
But Jingzhe was too strong early on. The biggest fear was that Cheng Xing would be crushed by Jingzhe before his build came online.
Ye Shaoyang commanded the macro game patiently.
Top lane, Old Qin's [Berserker] was excellent at split pushing. He didn't lose out in the 1v1 against Jingzhe's Top laner and managed the minion waves very well. Mid lane, Ye Shaoyang also cleared waves quickly, giving Fang Zhengqing no chance to push the tower.
The key was the bottom lane. Jingzhe's trio frequently grouped to pressure the tower, putting immense pressure on Cheng Xing.
Xie Yuan's poison arrows fired rapidly, stacking 5 layers of poison in the blink of an eye. Seeing a dark green poison arrow tearing through the air about to hit the low-health Cheng Xing, Qu Jiang immediately sidestepped and blocked the damage for Xiao Xing.
——[I Am Very Round (Poison Warlock) has killed Tianhuan Jiangshui (Shield of Glory)]!
While blocking the arrow, Qu Jiang shouted, "Xiao Xing, run!"
Cheng Xing successfully escaped home.
This was already the second time Qu Jiang had sacrificed himself to protect him.
Cheng Xing didn't say anything; he just gripped his mouse tightly.
Ye Shaoyang glanced at the equipment panel and said, "Xiao Xing, come take the Mid lane wave. Chi Shu, let's go for Blue again and see if we can kill their Marksman."
Chi Shu said in a low voice, "Understood."
After healing up, Cheng Xing headed to the Mid lane to farm.
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu invaded the opponent's Blue Buff jungle.
At 15 minutes, the game entered the mid-game phase. Xie Yuan's equipment was very luxurious; he had already completed Berserker's Greaves plus three offensive items. A [Poison Warlock] with maxed attack speed was terrifying, capable of applying 5 stacks of poison in just two or three seconds!
Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang raided the jungle, wanting to repeat their old trick and steal the Blue Buff. Fang Zhengqing immediately rotated to defend. He seemed to have guessed the Sun-Moon duo would come for the Blue and hid in the brush next to the Blue Buff in advance.
Ye Shaoyang Flashed in to stun Xie Yuan. Chi Shu teleported in via Moonlight Mark intending to force a kill on the Marksman. But in the next moment, Li Yunmo's coin rain and coin wall blocked their path, and Fang Zhengqing's four small snakes suddenly darted out, biting ferociously at them!
In an instant, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu had 3 stacks of poison on them.
The poison arrows in Xie Yuan's hand fired rapidly, coordinating with Fang Zhengqing to stack full 5 layers of poison.
A 2v3 encounter in the jungle. Ye Shaoyang immediately said, "Retreat!"
The two retreated quickly.
But because the poison stacks were full, they lost health with every step. Seeing both of them drop to around 20% health, Fang Zhengqing just needed one ultimate, Poison Explosion, to harvest both their heads…
Just then, a figure suddenly ran toward them at high speed.
It was Cheng Xing!
Xiao Xing hadn't gone to clear the Mid lane wave. Instead, seeing his master and Brother Yang getting beaten to critical health, he immediately flanked from the jungle to support. upon arrival, he decisively activated his ultimate—
As soon as Meteor Arrow's ultimate activated, his attack speed reached the limit, and the darts in his hand shot out like a rainstorm!
Fang Zhengqing, Li Yunmo, and Xie Yuan were chasing the Sun-Moon duo and didn't expect Cheng Xing to suddenly support. The rapid-fire darts instantly stacked 5 layers of Bleed on Fang Zhengqing and Li Yunmo!
Fang Zhengqing decisively pressed his R-skill. [Cobra King]'s Poison Explosion detonated the poison damage, instantly claiming the lives of the low-health Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu.
——[I Am Very Square (Cobra King) has killed Tianhuan Lie Yang (Sun Wheel Mage)]
——[I Am Very Square (Cobra King) has killed Tianhuan Shuoyue (Moon Shadow)]
Fang Zhengqing took a Double Kill with Poison Explosion!
However, in those few seconds, Cheng Xing's darts had also stacked full 5 layers of Bleed on him. Fang Zhengqing had no skills left, and his small snakes had been killed by Cheng Xing's darts. Fang Zhengqing Flashed to flee; Cheng Xing decisively Flashed to follow.
One hit, two hits, three hits…
Darts fired continuously in a fan-shaped spray, accurately hitting Fang Zhengqing. Triggering the chain effect of his equipment, the darts splashed between enemies. Li Yunmo and Xie Yuan, standing nearby, were also caught in the crossfire.
Xie Yuan and Li Yunmo had already been whittled down by the Sun-Moon duo. Now, with Bleed stacked to 3 layers, they also began to lose health frantically.
——[Tianhuan Fan Xing (Meteor Arrow) has killed I Am Very Square (Cobra King)]
——[Tianhuan Fan Xing (Meteor Arrow) has killed I Am Very Round (Poison Warlock)]
——[Tianhuan Fan Xing (Meteor Arrow) has killed A Cloud (Bounty Warlock)]
Triple Kill!
Cheng Xing, with his ultimate active, rapidly tap-fired, killing all three people who were chasing his master and Brother Yang!
The live audience was dumbfounded, and the livestream chat was flooded with "666".
Yao Mu and Brother Dong looked at each other, unable to believe that the Marksman who supported in time was Cheng Xing, who had been evaluated as the "weakest Marksman" not long ago.
Ye Shaoyang said excitedly, "Xiao Xing, that was awesome!"
Chi Shu raised the corners of his lips in gratification. "Nice support."
Cheng Xing's nose tingled, and he felt like crying.
Listening to commands was something a pro player needed to do. However, the situation on the field changed in an instant, and an excellent pro player should also have their own judgment.
In that play just now, if he had listened to Brother Yang's arrangement and continued to clear minions Mid, he could have eaten two waves and farmed safely, but Brother Yang and Master would have died in vain!
Focus on clearing his own minions, or go support teammates? The choice at the critical moment was very important.
To protect his growth, Qu Jiang had already died twice. He couldn't watch helplessly as Master and Brother Yang were killed again! So he bit the bullet and chose to support.
If he messed up the mechanics in that play, he would have gifted the enemy a Triple Kill and been flamed to death by fans. But if his support was timely and he could quickly stack Bleed to counter-kill the opponents, it was possible to turn the tables!
Afraid of being scolded, so dare not fight?
If so, he would always be the weakest Marksman.
He wanted to tell his teammates—Cheng Xing is not a child who needs your protection.
He has grown up.
At critical moments, he can also stand up and fight side by side with you.
He is your apprentice, but he is also a teammate you can trust!
This support was extremely timely. Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu went 2v3 in the jungle and retreated with low health. Jingzhe's trio chased. A full-health Cheng Xing joined the fight at this moment. Fang Zhengqing and Li Yunmo had no skills to hinder him, so he dealt maximum damage. With one ultimate spraying darts, he quickly stacked 5 layers of Bleed, and a Triple Kill completely reversed the situation.
Thunderous applause erupted at the venue. Qu Jiang couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xing, that was handsome!"
Cheng Xing giggled foolishly. "Hehe, Master and Brother Yang got them low; I just picked up the scraps."
Ye Shaoyang said decisively, "Old Qin come over, force push Mid!"
Old Qin's [Berserker] pushed lanes fast. He had been managing the Top lane well, and hearing this, he immediately rotated Mid to assist Cheng Xing in quickly destroying the Mid tower.
Qu Jiang, who had been killed earlier, revived and went to defend Bot.
The Poison Team, originally dominant in the early game, actually lost three outer towers first. Xie Yuan's farming rhythm was completely disrupted, and Cheng Xing's equipment quickly caught up.
Next, Tianhuan initiated team fights actively. The Sun-Moon-Star trio linked up their damage. Chi Shu focused specifically on killing Xie Yuan, while Ye Shaoyang and Cheng Xing targeted Fang Zhengqing. Only then did the audience realize…
The Poison Team was not unbeatable.
The coordination of Sun, Moon, and Star was equally sharp. Lie Yang charged forward fiercely with the Sun Wheel; Shuoyue refreshed marks to weave in and out of the battlefield with dashing style; Fan Xing threw darts frantically from a distance, wretched yet cautious. The master and two apprentices coordinated tacitly, always managing to kill the enemy cores at maximum speed!
Qu Jiang conscientiously tanked damage at the front, blocking key skills for his teammates and selling himself without hesitation. Old Qin tried every means to cut in from the flank to disrupt the enemy formation.
The tacit understanding of Tianhuan's five members during team fights already had the look of a world-class powerhouse team.
The match ended at 25 minutes.
Ye Shaoyang turned around and gave Cheng Xing a big hug.
Good job, Xiao Xing. You've finally grown into an excellent Marksman who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying.
Jingzhe has an Iron Triangle?
Our Tianhuan has Water, Fire, Sun, Moon, and Star.
With five hearts united, any opponent and any lineup can be defeated!
