It might only be 20 additional attack points, but in the early stages when the squishy talents were as crispy as roast duck skin, even two additional attack points were enough to poke through this crispy skin and swallow them down in one bite!
Yuan Ze remained silent as he blocked Wei Xiaoâs retreat. It was clear that he wanted to force him to remain behind.
Old G was barely managing to stay alive. Heâd considered that Wei Xiao might enter his jungle zone when the game started, so heâd gotten his second skill, feather transform. The feather transform was flexible, but it couldnât deal damage. It wasnât as useful as his first skillâs forced control.
Heâd originally thought that he could find a way to escape with his life, but unexpectedly, Wei Xiao was so excessively determined to kill people that he hadnât even bothered with the jungler knife!
System Announcementââ
FTW.Quiet killed L&P.Gary!
Wei Xiao took First Blood!
Commentator Brother Mouthâs voice was excited as he let out a long stream of praise. Eurostarâs eyes were bright as well, and although he couldnât find a chance to speak, his expression was filled with worship and excitement.
Heâd already been a brainless grandmaster fan, but now he was even more eager to blow out rainbow farts and build a rainbow bridge for the grandmaster!
Wei Xiao had indeed played well.
One had to consider who he was facing.
Last yearâs runner-up teamâs jungler king, last yearâs singles competition runner-up, and one of the pillars of the new generation.
Not Old G, but God G.
In a match point game, with them in a precarious situation, heâd gone into the other sideâs jungle zone and taken First Blood. Without mentioning anything else, this wave of actions by Wei Xiao had definitely increased their team morale.
He used practical actions to make his teammates blood boil with passion!
Old G fell to the ground, but Yuan Ze didnât have any intentions of letting Wei Xiao go.
Theyâd lost First Blood, but Wei Xiao shouldnât even think about leaving their jungle zone with his life.
Yuan Ze steadied himself. The cooldown on his skills were over. He sent out another blood cut toward Wei Xiao, and in that moment, the shield of time and space landed on Wei Xiao again.
Wei Xiao, whoâd reached level two after taking a kill, didnât mean to retreat at all. He stared at this silver shield and tossed his scythe out at Yuan Ze.
The commentators were surprised. âDoes he want to take a double kill?â This would really be a godly start to the game!
And the ones he wanted to kill were Yuan Ze and Gary, which was equivalent to breaking L&Pâs arms!
Yuan Zeâs eyes were sharp. It only took one glance for him to see Lu Fengâs familiarity with the space-time knight.
His throat felt like there was a thorn stuck in it. He couldnât pull it out, and he couldnât swallow it down, leaving a sharp pain in his throat.
Why did Close know how to play the space-time knight?
Had he started practicing recently?
Noâ¦
L&P and FTW had basically been practicing together all the time recently. How would Close have had the time to train with thisâ¦
Thenâ¦
If he didnât understand Close, then Yuan Ze wouldnât be so shocked.
It was because he knew some of his habits that his thoughts drifted towardsâ¦
It couldnât have been three years ago, right.
It definitely couldnât have been three years ago.
Was it really notâ¦
Yuan Ze knew that Close would practice his teammatesâ talents in order to cooperate better with his teammates.
This so-called ability to copy was all lonely sweat and hard work.
The shield of space and time required subtle manipulation to switch back and forth. The defensive shield and damage reflect shield were used to extremes, resisting damage while highlighting DPS opportunities, doing its best to suppress Yuan Zeâs health.
Yuan Ze didnât aim for the space-time knight and only focused on Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiaoâs health plummeted, but the words from his mouth were easy and jovial. âIs Teacher Yuan angry because I killed his Baby G?â
It was fortunate that Gary couldnât hear FTWâs team chat, because he mightâve fainted from anger had he heard it.
What was this!
Did he f*cking deserve to be called a big baby!
Ohâ¦
Old Gâs key point seemed to have touched onto something.
Describing the situation was wordy, but in actuality, everything happened quickly. It only took about five or six seconds, but the berserker thief and the blood warrior were both left seriously injured at the same time.
At the end of the day, Yuan Ze was still a bit more experienced. He launched another attack, insisting on killing off Little Lunatic Wei.
Wei Xiao fell to the ground, but he didnât panic because he could see the mine hovering over the blood warriorâs head.
Yuan Ze killed Wei Xiao.
He stood there motionless, badly injured with only a sliver of health left.
The space-time knight didnât move, either.
The two of them were separated by a layer of bushes, and it was as though they gazed at each other for a fraction of a second.
There was a bang.
The mine exploded, and the system announcement rang outââ
FTW.Close killed L&P.Marshal!
FTW had traded one for two, and theyâd also taken First Blood and the red buff. They earned a lot and lost nothing!
The space-time knightâs DPS was low in the early stages. Close didnât remain in the other sideâs jungle and instead went on to the top lane to stabilize his lane soldiers.
Resurrection was quick in the early stages. It only took a few seconds before Wei Xiao returned to his jungle zone and started on his first round of clearing the jungle.
The director focused the camera on the top lane more often.
The space-time knight was obviously unable to beat the blood warrior when they faced off across the lane, and it was also unclear what kind of drug Yuan Ze had taken, but he played extremely fiercely. That silent appearance, with those black eyes staring at the screen, made even the champion earring in his left ear seem a few degrees colder.
Old G didnât even dare to breathe loudly. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to two years ago in his dreams, back to the time when he had to hold his breath and win the championship no matter what.
Let alone his teammates, even the audience could see it.
âYuan Zeâs murderous intent is really heavy.â
âHoly shit, heâs really not leaving any mercy at all. He clearly knows that Luluâs space knight is weak in the early stages, but heâs bullying him so much!â
âLittle lunatic, hurry and go save your captain. Your captain is going to be bullied into tears by Old Bandit Yuan!â
Wei Xiao didnât go up to the top lane often. When faced with the space-time knight that was being âbeaten upâ by Yuan Ze, he chose to set fires in the mid and bottom lanes instead.
It wasnât that he didnât want to go, but that Lu Feng had said, âNo need to come.â
So, Wei Xiao didnât go.
Only Lu Feng and Yuan Ze were in the top lane.
The space-time knight that glowed with a faint silver light was beaten back step by step by the blood warrior with its blood warrior red eyes.
He lost his lane soldiers, and his health was slowly ground down. Although he hadnât been killed, it was clearly a one-sided suppression.
Gary also didnât go to the top lane to provide support for once. It wasnât that he didnât want to go, but that Yuan Ze didnât let him come over.
It wasnât clear if Yuan Ze didnât let Gary come because he wanted to solo with Lu Feng or if it was because L&Pâs mid and bottom lane had been ganked so thoroughly by Wei Xiao that they needed Garyâs support.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutesâ¦
Yuan Ze killed the space-time knight, and the health on the top laneâs defense tower was ground down by a quarter.
The audience began to panic. They began to grow nervous and fearful, and they didnât quite dare to continue watching.
Although FTWâs mid and bottom lanes were blooming beautifully and the berserker thiefâs rhythm was practically flying, the top laneâ¦n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The indestructible top lane, the top lane that no one could push through with the Close who no one could hold up again, was being crushed into a sorry state!
Even if they knew that it was a natural talent restraint, even if they knew that Yuan Ze was holding nothing back, even if they knew that the space-time knight was useless without its teammates, they were all still worried.
They didnât want to watch this kind of scene, didnât want to see this kind of unspeakable suffering and grievance being played out.
The one who had the most difficult time watching wasnât the fans, but rather, it was Kim Sung-hyun.
He, who knew everything, seemed to be standing immersed in the canyon, and it was as though heâd gone back to three years ago: He could see the door, see Yuan Ze through the door, see Lu Feng standing outside the door, both with the same space-time knight.
The rims of his eyes were red, and he was glad that he was wearing glasses, a mask, and a cap.
FTWâs top-lane tower fell. Yuan Ze closed his eyes and said, âGary.â
Old G: âGot it!â
This was L&Pâs routine. They would smash down the top lane, tear open a crack, and end the game!
Yuan Ze left the top lane and began to target the other lanes.
At the same time, Lu Feng said quietly, âSwitch lanes.â
Yue Wenle responded, âOkay!â
Yuan Ze arrived at the mid-lane. He tossed out a set of skills at the immortal warlock, and Wei Xiaoâs scythe flew out. At the same time, their support medicine warlock and his captainâs space-time knight also arrived.
It was a 4v4 in the mid-lane. There wasnât even the slightest pause before both sides blasted out full firepower!
The blood thief and blood warriorâs attack effects were very similar. The former had raven feathers in the sky, absorbing blood wherever it went, while the latter was a fierce, fresh blood color that rushed through the skies with a dark red blade that left hot blood gushing in its wake!
The immortal warlockâs clouds and fog billowed, the spirit mage was surrounded by blue spirits, and the elemental shamanâs totems were everywhere. The medicine warlock danced on a steel wire and dealt huge amounts of damageâ¦
There was also the berserker thief with his flamboyant red hair, snow-white face, and the bright red corners of his mouth as his bloodthirsty scythe locked in on his prey!
Skills flew everywhere, dealing explosive damage.
This rapidly changing battle situation was dazzling!
The blood thief and blood warrior started up their ultimate moves at the same time, using their damage immunity and high blood sucking ability to resist the immortal warlockâs thousand layers of clouds!
The medicine warlock moved accurately and avoided the damage, changing from DPS to healing and maintaining his teammatesâ health!
The elemental shaman threw down totems for his teammates like mad, giving out attack speed and healing, but he was a bit too late when he attempted a resurrection totem. That was alright, though, because as long as they could deal enough damage, they could win the team fight!
L&Pâs damage was indeed enough!
When the raven feathers fell to the ground, there was a burst of sound as the spirit mageâs control landed on three people. This was accompanied by the blood warriorâs blood cut and three enhanced basic attacks. Damage exploded on the spot, causing the medicine warlockâs skills to land on nothing but empty air, leaving him with no way to heal!
Did the four from FTW topple?
No!
They were only left with a sliver of health, and they were all seriously injured, but they didnât fall!
That crisp sounding tick rang out again.
It was the whispering of the hand of time heading towards the end, turning time back by two seconds.
There were no words, no other sound. There was no need to say anything.
At this moment, the immortal warlock went back to two minutes ago and brushed out another thousand layers of clouds. The berserker thiefâs scythe locked in on three people from the other team at the same time, and the medicine warlock activated all his skills. Green swept across the area, shrouding his teammates and bringing their seriously injured health bars back to a healthy light red.
FTW wasnât the team that thoroughly exploded. It was L&P!
The space-time knightâs ultimate move was given at the most essential moment, and FTW was able to play out the most perfect level of cooperation!
The venue exploded, and the audience in the live broadcast studio went crazy. Old fans burst out into tears.
Who said that Close couldnât cooperate?
Who said that Close had no teammates?
Who said that FTW only had Close?
No!
FTW had long since been reborn!
The fallen Yuan Ze was stunned.
The space-time knight on the screen was a stranger to him and so was Close.
But it was also inexplicably familiar. Very, very familiar.
âWe arenât suited to being teammates. Itâs good being opponents; Iâve wanted to play against you for a long time.â
ââIâm sorry I canât be your teammate; Iâm sorry I canât accompany you in the doubles. Iâm sorry, eighteen year old triple champion.
âMm.â
ââItâs all right.
