You actually want me to...

Assuming the opposing team is stunned by the flying star and fails to react, then JKL and Hahuang will almost certainly be either dead or severely injured after taking another hit to the head, and this team fight will come to an end in an instant.

but...

"You're not ready for this trip."

"Shu~"

A flash of light appeared from the TES camp, not retreating, but turning around and moving forward, flashing onto the trajectory that Fei Xing would inevitably pass through on his return.

Immediately afterwards, Q skill [Death Sentence] was used, landing directly at the location where Zoe flashed after activating R skill.

"Give me a ride."

"pat~"

To the junior's utter astonishment, Thresh's hook held him firmly in his hand, and then, following Zoe's R skill's forced bounce mechanism, he flew towards EDG's backline.

Finished!

Roland played incredibly steadily this game. He even built incredibly solid, cost-effective tank items, prioritizing health over resistances and using random items to fill his inventory rather than crafting individual items. Although this build made it very slow for him to get his Mythic items, it made him extremely durable in the early game.

Like this flying star?

The damage only took away three-fifths of his health; it was very, very stable.

Upon landing, E [Pendulum of Doom] pulls Varus and Zoe nearby sharply, activating the ultimate [Ghost Prison]!

As for what to do next? Well, of course, we'll just sit and wait to die.

Do you really think their lineup can compete with EDG at this point? That's just wishful thinking. From the beginning, Roland's goal was to dive deep into the enemy backline and sacrifice himself, trading his life for the lives of his teammates who were being targeted.

Even if he fails to hook Zoe who is about to enter the fray, he will still choose to step forward to block the flying star and then go to block the short-legged Rumble who is about to enter the fray.

As for the current Lamborghini, he didn't care how to restrict him.

With Knight around, Crystal Maiden is a hero who, aside from anything else, is incredibly good at one-on-one defense.

Without Varus and Zoe's follow-up damage, EDG's front and back lines were immediately separated. Rumble's ultimate alone couldn't kill Blade of the Ruined King and Aphelios, while EDG's main damage dealers were completely entangled by Roland and couldn't escape.

A disconnect in the team composition means a gap in damage output, and also means a desperate escape for the two junglers.

How do I describe this feeling of surviving a disaster?

It's like when you poop after drinking too much yogurt—a torrent, gushing out, a torrent of liquid, unstoppable. Like the Huangguoshu Waterfall, or the rocky path of Mount Lu. Afterwards, I was almost completely exhausted, but also inexplicably felt great.

only...

Since the other side failed to eliminate the two of them immediately, they would accept the Rambo, who was now skewered like an ice pop, as a price to pay without hesitation.

EDG_Viper kills TES_BAN

[TES_JKL kills EDG_jiejie]

One wave for one trade.

After emergency treatment, both deceased individuals were stabilized at their graves, and their families agreed to separate.

Only the white crescent moon—he had won miserably.

Precipitation: Chapter 55: Don't hesitate, moisturize quickly!

"See? What did I tell you? What did I tell you?! This maneuver, this willingness to sacrifice, this decision-making and reaction—this is something that this wave can't produce like before!" Backstage, White Crescent, who had been nervously watching the screen, jumped up excitedly from his stool after seeing Roland hook Zoe.

It's not that winning or losing this game is that important to him.

Rather, he was already quite certain before the match that Roland would have no problem in this game, so he just didn't want to see himself proven wrong.

Now is his time to show off!

"Wow, Lao Bai, how did you figure that out?" Team leader Lao Guo was also a bit surprised. After this wave, without Flash, Rakan wouldn't be able to threaten TES's backline for the next few minutes, which is equivalent to forcibly getting through the most dangerous time. A few minutes later, TES could really compete with EDG.

"Didn't you notice? This is a Tencent game."

"what?"

"Although the game designers under this company are all unscrupulous and the company itself is not very likable, it still has one commendable advantage compared to other major online game companies in China."

"For example?"

"Paying real money can actually make you stronger!"

At this moment, not only the TES backstage area, but even the live stream chat was filled with a series of question marks.

[Good heavens, is this the King of the Board?!]

If I remember correctly, the last time the King of Boards showed such dedication was when...?

[This is outrageous. It's basically a battle of wits between the two supports, while everyone else is just there for show.]

That flash hook was incredibly decisive, without any hesitation.

To put it bluntly, everyone underestimated Roland's desire for money.

Only after experiencing the harsh realities of society, the upheavals of layoffs, and the restlessness of being unemployed at home, can one truly understand how attractive a stable, high-paying job with overtime pay and bonuses is, especially when you can fully utilize your talents without having to engage in too much deceit and manipulation.

Here's a simple piece of advice for all you working folks:

When doing a regular job, you must hide your abilities and not use all of them. Otherwise, they will make you do whatever you know, and the more you know, the more you will do. Unless you are in management or a team leader, it is actually a good thing if you are knowledgeable. And most importantly, if you live close to the company, please do not reveal this to the rest of the company.

Incidentally, there are many ways to distinguish between a good and a bad company, one of the simplest being salary payment.

Companies that pay salaries on the 10th are generally good; those on the 15th are considered average; and those on the 20th require special attention. If you're unlucky enough to find a company that only pays the previous month's salary on the 25th, don't hesitate, grab a paycheck!

Having missed the best opportunity (with Rakan's flash), EDG struggled to maintain their rhythm afterward.

It certainly has advantages.

Poor economic conditions also exist.

But you ask if we can widen the gap? No, we can't. In fact, if we rush things to force a team fight, the economic difference will be gradually narrowed by TES.

The LPL teams watching on screen were all excited. Although they had thought of many ways to counter TES, those were all based on the premise that TES's bot lane would play recklessly. Once they stabilized, the heavily invested super team would show its strong fundamentals. Although it was far from being invincible, they were already a little scared by this prospect.

"Do you think it's because we've been playing too aggressively in training matches lately, causing them to awaken their full potential prematurely?"

In the RNG break room, Gala looked at his partner Ming with a bewildered expression, wanting to ask for his opinion. However... Ming was clearly also a little confused at this moment, and could only blankly agree with him.

"Maybe. How about we send them a few games back during our practice matches these next few days?"

"How many? What how many? Who wants to send how many?" Xiao Hu perked up instantly upon hearing the keyword, forcibly shifting his attention away from his phone and looking around.

"This is none of your business, go away."

"Oh."

-------------------------------------

TES's sudden change in playstyle—and I mean suddenly—caught EDG completely off guard. By the time Meiko finally got his teammates to adjust their mindset and try to face TES like they would against teams strong in the mid-to-late game, it was already too late.

After more than 20 minutes of development, TES's three-core lineup was officially formed, especially Aphelios. Thanks to the cheapness of Aphelios's equipment (the second item will be Collector's Blade), he will get his three-item set a little bit earlier than a typical late-game AD carry.

With the enemy weak and us strong, the positions of the attackers and defenders are reversed.

"Charge! I've held back for over twenty minutes, and now I can finally unleash my fury!" After completing his three core items, the first one to clamor for a team fight was JKL in the bottom lane. Don't think that White Crescent only invested in Roland; he also put a lot of money into JKL.

If Roland wanted money, then JKL wanted vacations and fewer unnecessary commercial activities.

What constitutes unnecessary commercial activity?

Some shows that you've never even heard of, the kind that are often recorded and broadcast but never heard from again until marketing accounts dig them up and say that such a thing ever happened, are almost always personal shows aimed at fans.

It's a waste of time and there's not much money involved, yet the higher-ups insist on having this kind of process. In his previous life, the Sailors group was frequently made to participate in these kinds of things, which disgusted JKL to no end.

In order to live a peaceful life as a couch potato, he was even willing to suppress his desire to kill.

JKL stated that as long as he doesn't leave the club, the entire club is like the Maldives.

"We should have fought a long time ago. The enemy is about to start their Dragon fight, so let's try to engage." After thinking for a while, Ha Huang decided that they could temporarily take the initiative. They still had some defensive towers left outside their high ground. Even if they were wiped out by the Canadian Dragons in the worst-case scenario, they would still have a last chance to fight back.

The Ice Maiden and the Moon Man become increasingly important as the game progresses.

"That's good, Ah Ban, what are you... Holy crap, what are you doing there!?" After confirming the team fight intention, JKL immediately started looking for his support on the map. But when he looked, he was shocked by Roland's location.

At this moment, this guy had already set up vision along the river and quietly sneaked into the enemy jungle, where he was hiding in the bushes next to the bottom lane turret.

Huh? You called me?

"You..."

"Stop babbling and hurry up. You guys just go for it this time. Leave the back row issues to Daddy."

"???"

Precipitation: Chapter Fifty-Six: Exorcism

The canyon dragon pit, time has reached 26 minutes.

Since TES's two carries had generally developed, EDG naturally didn't dare to initiate team fights rashly this time. In essence, EDG's lineup is a poke lineup. Both Zoe and Varus are the kind of champions who can deal massive damage before team fights even begin.

The only slight pity is that AP Varus is almost impossible to survive on the field, otherwise we might have been able to see Viper take away half of the enemy's health with a single arrow.

It's a pity I can't watch it.

EDG's plan is to poke first and then initiate a team fight, and if they do initiate a team fight, they should try to kill the AD carry and jungler.

Especially junglers.

Since the Blade of the Ruined King was released in competitive play, he has become increasingly powerful. Not only is he invincible in team fights, but he also gains extra rounds of skills, making him ruthless in the late game.

Therefore, they must deliver a righteous blow to the Ruined King.

Or rather: exorcism.

Of course, there are two types of exorcism. As we all know, games are virtual, so the differences between virtual and real are different:

False exorcism: You demon, get out of this boy's body.

The real exorcist: You priest, get out of this boy's body!

As for the differences?

I can only say that those who know, know. I'm going to buy an indulgence now.

"Something's not right. I haven't seen Thresh on the other side this wave." Meiko observed the battlefield and also keenly sensed that something was wrong. However, when he thought it was just Thresh, he relaxed and then reminded Scout, "He's probably hiding in some bush or around a corner, trying to hook you in. Keep an eye out."
