Chapter 93 Zhou Yu's Surprising Move Stuns Everyone with a Solo Kill; Korean Mid-Lane Sheds Tears and Collapses (Third Update)

With WE taking the match point, the Korean online community is now filled with lamentations.

[Oh no! What do we do? Are we really going to let WE take the OGN championship?!]

Wow! This Lion is so strong, I have no idea how to win!

Even with Forst, nothing seems to work.

In my opinion, there seems to be only one way left to defeat WE.

[Oh! What's the plan? Tell me quickly!]

Unplug WE's network cable.

Frost Lounge

The five contestants sat blankly in their seats, each with a lifeless expression.

Today's two matches made them question their very existence.

It's worth noting that Frost is a top team in the country.

Although they failed to win the championship in the Spring Split, they put up a good fight against their sister teams.

Now, facing this WE team, they were completely crushed by WE in terms of both tactical drafting and player performance.

They had absolutely no chance to fight back.

They couldn't even find the slightest chance.

It's important to understand that becoming a professional player means they each represent the top level of players in the Korean server.

How could a player like that not have a bit of arrogance?

Now, facing the Zhou rituals, he feels like an ant looking up at a mountain. Having suddenly suffered such a huge blow, he obviously won't be able to get over it for a while.

Even MadLife, the team's core commander, has completely lost his fighting spirit at this moment.

"Brother, what should we do? I really tried my best..."

Mid laner RapidStar's voice was trembling as he spoke.

MadLife looked up and saw that RapidStar's eyes were already brimming with tears.

This kid actually cried after being beaten!
However, it's understandable; anyone facing such a monster would experience immense psychological pressure.

It's worth noting that the player being criticized the most online right now is RapidStar, who is Lion's opponent.

It is said that CLG's mid laner, Furugen, was under so much pressure that he sweated so much that his pants were soaked.

Netizens even joked that Lion beat him so badly he peed himself.

At least RapidStar didn't pee his pants, which proves his strength.

MadLife wanted to say something to comfort RapidStar, but when the words came to mind, he didn't know how to begin.

RapidStar leaned closer and said:

"Bro, why don't you try playing mid lane? Don't you often play mid lane during practice?"

Madlife's expression hardened, and he waved his hand.

"How can that be? If I go mid lane to face Lion, I might be able to beat him, but if I switch positions with you now, the netizens will definitely not let you off the hook!"

RapidStar was about to say something when the team manager pushed open the door and entered.
-
"Dear viewers, you are now watching the 2012 League of Legends OGN Summer League Finals! The two teams facing off are Azubu Frost and WE from China!"

Yunhaitai Beach.

Compared to his initial excitement, Jeon Yong-joon was now standing on stage entirely thanks to his professionalism as a host.

He looked down at the audience seats.

The once packed stands are now mostly empty.

Many audience members have already chosen to leave early.

Quan Yongjun sighed.

He knew that today's match would likely be a huge blow to South Korean esports.

I wonder if those executives who came up with the idea of ​​inviting foreign teams to be a litmus test for Korean teams regret it now.

"In the previous matches, Azubu Frost unfortunately lost two games. Currently, WE leads with a score of 2-0, holding match point in this final! Hopefully, Azubu Frost can adjust their form quickly and prepare for what may be the final match!"

As Quan Yongjun finished speaking, sparse applause rang out from the audience.

It's clear that South Korean viewers were also emotionally affected.

Both players have taken their seats.

The business process (BP) phase began quickly.

"Now Azubu Frost is back on the blue side and has the first pick. Let's see what they plan to do in terms of banning. It seems that blocking Lion's hero pool has not been effective."

As soon as Quan Yongjun finished speaking, Azubu Frost's team chose to ban Shen and Ezreal, only using one ban for the mid lane, banning Lee Sin.

"Oh! Did Azubu Frost choose to give up on targeting Lion? Indeed, Lion's champion pool is just too deep! Instead of wasting bans on the mid lane, it's better to ban the jungler and AD who performed well in the previous two games!"

As for this Lee Sin, he was just too damn good. Madlife thought about it and still didn't dare to let him out.

Once this hero is released, Azubu Frost might end up like CLG, becoming a background character on various video platforms, repeatedly ridiculed and mocked.

WEZ's strategy for banning opponents remains unchanged, continuing the approach from the previous two games.

The right to vote soon fell into Forst's hands.

Frost immediately selected Card Master on the first floor.

Upon seeing Frost's champion selection, the commentator Gunpowder Rose remarked:

"We see that Forst has picked Twisted Fate! In that case, it seems that Forst's tactical focus has changed in this game. They won't be fixated on the mid lane anymore, but will try to find a rhythm for the two side lanes through the mid lane! This is indeed a good idea for Forst! And you can see it from the draft! Since I can't target your mid lane, I can only try to find a way to target your side lanes. I might as well give up the mid lane!"

Su Xiaoyan nodded and said:

"Frost is clearly very resilient! He came up with different tactics for the match point game. Let's see how WE responds; they've directly locked down Maokai in the jungle..."
-
Changsha, Hunan.

Golden Alliance Internet Cafe.

A group of students in school uniforms were looking around in the internet cafe when they spotted a chubby boy in a corner and walked over with smiles.

"You fucking bastard Wei Zhen, you ran off to surf the internet without calling us, huh?!"

The group sat down at the machine next to Wei Zhen.

"Hurry up, pro player, carry us through a few matches! My Duowan Box combat power is already at 3000!"

Hearing his classmate's call, the chubby boy called Wei Zhen took off his headphones and shook his head.

"I'm not playing today, I want to watch the game."

"Watch a game?" a head popped up. "What game? What's so interesting about a game? I'll watch if you play a game."

Seemingly not wanting to be disturbed, Wei Zhen sighed, searched for "World's First Holy Monk" on the web, and clicked on the video.

"You can only become better by watching matches. Look at this video."

A group of people gathered around and saw the blind monk in the video flashing around, showing off his amazing skills.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

Hearing the commotion from the crowd, Wei Zhen turned off the video and switched back to the live stream.

"Why don't you guys go first? It's the last game, and it'll probably be over soon. Our Chinese team is about to win."

"The Chinese team? Who are we going to play against?"

"From South Korea."

Upon hearing that the Chinese team was playing against the South Korean team, these spirited students immediately became excited and asked Wei Zhen for the website to watch the live stream together.

"Holy crap! Wei Zhen! Diana! Isn't that your signature champion?! It's in the match!"

"If Diana can play in the competition, can our Wei Ge also play in the competition?"

Hearing his classmates' discussions, Wei Zhen couldn't help but feel a longing in his heart as well.

He really wants to play professionally.

It's better than working as a car mechanic after graduation.

After seeing Lion bring out his signature hero, Wei Zhen straightened up.

Wei Zhen's rank score is not low, and he often encounters so-called professional players in ranked matches.

However, his Diana mid-lane play often allows him to dominate or even kill the opponent in lane. In Wei Zhen's opinion, he has thoroughly mastered the Diana champion, and even his idol Lion might not be as good at playing Diana as he is.

After all, in the current version, Diana isn't a particularly popular mid-lane champion.

Soon, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side: Azubu Frost eSports Club VS Red side: WE eSports Club.

Top Lane: (shy) Future Guardian VS (caiomei) Irelia.

Jungle: (CloudTemplar) Void Terror VS (clearlove) Twisted Treant.

Mid Lane: (RapidStar) Twisted Fate VS (Lion) Diana.

ADC: (woong) Outlaw vs. (weixiao) Valiant Bombardier.

Support: (MadLife) Leona VS (FzzF) Janna.

As it was match point, Frost's team was noticeably more cautious.

Although they still started with five players forming a "train" formation, they retreated to a safe distance after only briefly encountering WE.

They were genuinely afraid that Diana would use her E-flash to force an engagement again.

I don't know if Diana can use E-Flash.

I'm just scared.

The two sides quickly began their normal laning phase.

At this point, Diana's only mobility skill is her ultimate ability.

Before level 6, you have almost no combat ability and can only rely on your Q skill to harass others in lane.

However, once they reach level six, a regular mage could easily be instantly killed by Diana if they make a single mistake!

In the minds of many veteran players, Diana's damage output is quite incomprehensible.

Even though the QWR skills don't look like they have high stats, and the E skill doesn't do any damage, Diana can still kill you instantly if she suddenly charges in!

Once fully developed, Diana unleashes a true "health bar disappearing" technique, making her arguably the fastest champion to instantly kill!

But that's all for after Level 6.

Logically speaking, Twisted Fate should have absolutely no problem facing Diana before level six.

After all, Diana has no way to get close to the enemy.

RapidStar was probably traumatized by Zhou Li in the first two games, so they didn't dare to go up and pressure Diana, and just kept pushing the minion wave.

Both sides were in a relatively stable development phase in the early stages, which made the people in the internet cafe a little sleepy.

"Wei Zhen, this match is meaningless, it's just about finishing off enemies."

"Yeah, the Lion you mentioned doesn't seem to be doing too well either. It's getting pressured by the other team."

After all, for them, the game is still in the stage where it's all about fighting as soon as you log in, it's either you die or I live, and only the survivors have the right to eat soldiers.

Wei Zhen was getting a headache from the noise and said impatiently, "Stop arguing, or we'll start fighting."

The mid-lane card quickly reached level six.

Before the moon reached six, RapidStar turned and left, manipulating the cards.

Zhou Li sent a signal to the middle lane and said:

"The cards are missing. Be careful if you have any big ones."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the card activated its ultimate skill!

Strawberry, standing under the tower, saw that before the card even landed, the giant bug had already crawled out from behind!
This is a direct three-on-one tower dive against him!
The strawberries weren't in very good condition to begin with.

Jayce is arguably TheShy's signature champion, and being a long-range champion against a short-range one, he was reduced to only half health.

Seeing a large wave of minions pushing into the tower, Strawberry originally wanted to use Irelia's Q skill to make a play, but Twisted Fate's yellow card, combined with Cho'Gath's knock-up and silence, directly countered all his fancy moves.

First blood!!

"Wow!" came Su Xiaoyan's commentary from the computer, "Frost's target is the top lane! This time it's Strawberry who got injured again!"

Guns N' Roses began:

"It's clear that Frost really changed his tactics in this game. To be honest, this is the Frost I'm more familiar with, using the side lane advantage to split push."

One student couldn't help but speak up:

"Wei Zhen, is this Lion any good? Twisted Fate has already flown to the top lane to kill someone, and he's still farming in the mid lane."

The Twisted Fate who killed Irelia ran back to the mid lane.

The minion wave had already reached the tower.

Although Twisted Fate had taken two hits from the tower while diving earlier, leaving him with only half health, RapidStar felt that he was still quite safe standing behind the tower.

Diana couldn't possibly hit herself with her Q from that position.

As long as you don't get hit by Diana's Q, you won't get a mark on your body. Without a mark, Diana can only use her ultimate once.

The damage is definitely not enough.

Diana was standing in front of the tower recalling when RapidStar threw out his Q skill from a distance, trying to interrupt her recall.

As if triggered, Diana immediately used her Q skill.

RapidStar didn't care.

I'm already far enough away, Diana's Q is definitely impossible...

"boom!"

The moment Q was cast, Diana immediately used Flash, and then used R to charge straight at RapidStar's face!
With her W shield activated, Diana arrived in front of Twisted Fate almost simultaneously with her Q skill!

Q Flash WRRA Ignite!

RapidStar was so frightened that he immediately used Flash, but in the blink of an eye, Diana had already unleashed a full combo of damage and then turned and left!

RapidStar watched his health bar vanish in an instant, still desperately cutting cards.

But before the yellow card could even be issued, the ignition had already burned away his last bit of health!
"I am stupid!!!"

Wei Zhen's eyes widened, and he stood up in disbelief, immediately swearing.

Meanwhile, the other students seemed a bit dazed, clearly not understanding what was going on.

OGN Official Commentary Team.

Quan Yongjun's wails lingered in the air above Yunhaitai Beach for a long time!
"Ah!!! Lion!!! It's Lion again!!! What kind of move is this!!! What is going on! This is incomprehensible, unbelievable!! Is he really playing the same game as us?! Ah... how can we possibly defeat someone like this..."

By the end, Quan Yongjun's voice even trembled with emotion, almost as if he were about to cry.

No one can understand the heartache and despair of the people of the Republic of Korea at this moment.

At this moment, some people at Azubu Frost were genuinely crying.

MadLife was clearly unaware of what had happened in the mid lane; all he saw was that the mid laner had been solo-killed again.

This made him furious!

"Damn it!! What are you doing?! I just asked you not to die! I just asked you not to die! Is that so hard to do?! Are you out of your mind, you brat?!"

RapidStar's hand holding the mouse was trembling, and he said in a tearful voice:

"No, bro! No, bro! He just used those weird moves again! I'm standing right here!"

He kept marking the area under the tower.

"I'm standing right here, how did he manage to target me?! I've been so careful! What else do I need to do?!!"

"what!!!"

RapidStar became increasingly agitated as he spoke, gripping his hair tightly with a pained expression.

Mars Live.

Watching the RapidStar footage playing on the director's screen.

Guns N' Roses, who had just been chatting and laughing, gasped.

"Uh, are we crazy to see RapidStar?"

Everything's fresh and hot right now. There should be more tonight; I'll try to finish the OGN events today.
