You actually want me to...

"I've given you the chance to become a hero. Time is of the essence, and we must act as soon as possible."

"Huh? How urgent is the time constraint?"

"10"

"One minute?"

"twenty three..."

"Fuck your grandpa!"

While frantically placing wards and using his movement skills to take shortcuts towards the enemy jungle, Ha Huang was cursing Roland for his lack of sportsmanship. Suddenly, he received a message that started counting down before he could even react: "Is this how you play team fights?"

Since the first trinket ward is used for mobility, Lee Sin now only has one control ward that can be used for subsequent mobility. In other words, if he fails to flank successfully this time, it will be difficult for him to escape later.

Roland wasn't joking with Harold.

The only time they could give Lee Sin the best opportunity to engage was the instant RNG finished clearing the minion wave and entered the river. Since the entire TES team had already disappeared from the map, RNG was already aware of the situation, but they weren't sure if TES was lying in ambush or trying to steal the dragon.

Crossing mountains and ridges, navigating through fog and distance.

This is why having jungle monsters as a means of movement allowed Ha Huang to enter the enemy jungle and circle around like that, starting from the top lane river bush and circling all the way to the blue team's three wolves.

Is TES starting this again?

[Pay attention to the minimap markers; this is an invasion commanded by the King of the Board.]

Ah, this familiar intrusion route, didn't RNG react at all?

[The human board king has shown himself! Why is RNG even reacting?! Who the hell can defend against a substitution attack?!]

It's really not RNG's fault.

The sudden disappearance of all TES players on the map gave them a huge shock. They had finally confirmed that the players were setting up vision in the upper river, and now was the time to compete for vision. It was good enough if they could win the frontal vision, who had time to pay attention to the positions behind them?

Besides, aren't the weapon and Thresh facing each other?

Blind Monk?

They believed that the Blind Monk was very likely near the Dragon Pit, or at the corner of the Dragon Pit.

The opportunity has arrived.

Slowly, they reached the jungle entrance, which was only separated from the river by a wall. A little to the right was within the vision range of RNG's turret, while a little to the left made them vulnerable to being spotted by the trinket wards in the bushes. Haro was now stuck here, and when he could go down depended entirely on the vision provided by his teammates as they pushed forward.

"I have arrived."

Just 10 seconds before Roland's countdown ended, Harper finally arrived at the location marked by Roland.

"OK, listen to my command, don't kick AD. Humans are incredibly fast, kick whoever you can except AD, and then listen to my three-second countdown."

"it is good."

"Knight can use his E skill as a hook to draw attention, since you have Hextech Protobelt and Flash to follow up anyway."

"Okay." After saying that, Knight immediately threw his E skill, Ice Claw, directly in front of the other person.

"OK, listen to my command, 3..."

shuh~

"Hey!? Wait, I haven't finished reading yet!!!"

Just as Roland was counting down, upon hearing the number 3, Ha Huang instinctively peeked through the wall and rushed down, not even bothering to see what was next to him; he just aimed at the nearest one.

Flash + R [Dragon Tail]

He immediately kicked back towards his own teammate's position.

The most bewildered person at this moment was undoubtedly Xiaohu, who had been inexplicably kicked. He couldn't believe that a Lee Sin would suddenly appear in his own jungle. What's worse, in order to control his rage in team fights, he didn't have enough rage to transform into Gnar.

In other words... this is a classic case of throwing good money after bad, and things are likely to turn out badly.

"Holy crap, Ha Huang, that kick was... fucking amazing! Brothers, charge!"

"Hurrah~"

No one expected that it would be Little Nar who would be sent back this time.

Originally, Roland thought that even kicking back Rakan would be a huge win, but he was afraid that kicking Udyr would be too difficult to kill. But now you've kicked back Gnar, the hope of the entire RNG family, so what are we waiting for?

Brothers, get your benches ready.

Glacier Path + Frost Ring + Frozen Tomb

In order to maintain the complete control chain as much as possible, Knight even stopped using his Q skill and switched to pure hard CC.

Crystal Maiden entered the fray to divide the battlefield, Jax entered to share the pressure, and Aphelios, along with Thresh, sniped from the side. Without Gnar's ability to draw fire and provide AOE control, RNG was completely overwhelmed by TES's surprise attack.

Like Chinese table tennis, Russian figure skating, and the fouls of the West Eight, like Japanese cardboard beds, and American asthma, TES's greatest strength lies in its instantaneous execution.

One for three

TES successfully won the team fight and secured the Baron.

Contest: Chapter Twenty-Nine: The So-Called Opening

【666666】

[Wow, that was a great kick! Ha Huang has really mastered the essence of the board king.]

[This team fight initiation is so damn simple and brutal, you can even initiate it by just placing an ice claw directly at the enemy?]

This is called a feint attack in one direction, capturing the enemy in one fell swoop.

After TES successfully secured the Baron, the game was practically over. A Baron at just over 20 minutes meant they could quickly take down all of the opponent's turrets except for the high ground turrets, and also meant they could maximize the opponent's development space, locking them all in the high ground.

More importantly, the economic difference generated by this operation will be transformed into a dimensional reduction attack of two sets against one set.

Even RNG themselves knew this.

The game is over.

"I..."

"It's okay, just adjust your mindset and we can win it back in another group later."

......

"it is good."

Unlike the atmosphere within TES, RNG's team was relatively quiet. However, despite this, no one in the team stood up to criticize his mistakes. Instead, they simply encouraged each other and continued to prepare for the next team fight.

RNG's reaction was quickly reflected in the game.

Even though it was a sure loss, the team still didn't give up. They still engaged in team fights and didn't neglect any vision control. Even in the last wave of the map, TES had to wipe out RNG before they could even touch the enemy's high ground crystal.

The final score was 16-7

In the double-elimination bracket, the losers' group had six teams advancing to the semifinals. Both sides used various unexpected tactics, with TES defeating RNG 3-2 and successfully advancing to the semifinals.

TES here.

Roland ripped the earphones off his ears and threw them down hard, then breathed a sigh of relief.

The opponent's tenacity in that day's best-of-five series far exceeded his expectations.

It wasn't just because Guozi, the team's weak link, kept pulling out killer moves, but also because the two veteran players in the league were in such an absurd state. They rarely made mistakes in the games they lost, and in the games they won, they roamed around and carried the team. If it weren't for the fact that their own team's players were also in good form, the outcome of today's game would have been quite uncertain.

"Won."

"Yeah, and winning is really tiring. How about we skip the next round and go on vacation?"

"You're overthinking it. If you dare to do that, the entire RNG team will be showing up at your doorstep the next day."

The best-of-five series went the full distance, and Roland said that the team hadn't played a match like this in a long time. As a result, after the initial excitement, the entire TES team collectively fell into a state of "weakness and powerlessness" when the match ended.

"Look at you guys! There's an interview coming up, how are you going to go on stage like this?" After the team members came down, White Crescent couldn't help but laugh and scold them.

"Oh, an interview? Let the comrades go first. I'm not young, so I won't participate." With that, Roland immediately tried to slip away.

"Wait! Why are you running? You can't run away. You're just an adult, why don't you go find someone else?"

“Coach, we don’t advocate judging people by their ID card age now. We’re all 16 years old, but some people are world champions, some are rich, and some have a lot of wives and friends. But I’m different. When I was 16, real estate agents were chasing after me and calling me ‘brother.’ Do you think I’m not mature enough?”

White crescent moon: ......

Although the idea was to have Roland and JKL go up and walk around, unfortunately, both of them were stubborn and lazy, and refused to go up on stage to stand as punishment. In the end, TES could only send Ale and Hahuang to interview them.

That's how it is in terms of career.

In the entertainment industry, for example, the chance to go on stage is clearly priced. For instance, those red carpet events a few years ago, do you think the ground there is really that slippery that any female celebrity would slip and fall?

Forget it.

That thing is now an industry chain, including accommodation, hype, operation, and makeup, successfully turning you from penniless to heavily indebted, while simultaneously earning you the title of a minor celebrity.

Even the smallest exposure is something everyone scrambles to get. After all, these past few years, actors have been all the rage. If someone becomes even slightly famous, a huge number of fangirls will shower them with money. They can earn hundreds or thousands of dollars just by lying down and saying a few words about how hard they work. They can earn in one night what others earn in a lifetime.

After winning the game, the rest of the time is naturally for studying.

Of course, it's not live learning, but watching recorded videos.

Just two days before the loser's bracket matches, the qualifying matches from the winner's bracket also began. Unlike TES and RNG, who employed a variety of tactics, the match between EDG and FPX leaned more towards a steady approach – namely, strategic play.

In the end, FPX proved superior and won the match, advancing to the winners' bracket championship.

It's pretty clear who TES's next opponent will be.

The ancient powerhouse – EDG esports team.

Unlike the losers in the winners' bracket, who had two days to adjust after their defeat, TES, on the other hand, had to face RNG today and then EDG tomorrow, making their schedule incredibly tight. White Crescent was quite helpless about this, only able to do a simple recap of today's BO5 match before hastily dismissing the team to let the players adjust on their own.
