"If we can take down Baron Nashor, then the situation could get very difficult to predict."
With the Baron buff and proper execution, holding out for five minutes shouldn't be a big problem. And after five minutes, the strongest neutral resource appears: the Elder Dragon.
So far, no team in the university league has ever lost a match after defeating the Ancient Dragon.
After all, a kill triggered when a player's health drops below 20% is no joke.
Seeing that their opponents were about to attack the dragon, some of the players in the "Step by Step to Victory" group couldn't help but get anxious and unconsciously sent out their signals.
"Don't rush, stay calm."
Su Mu quickly reassured her, explaining that the scale of the events she had witnessed was far more exaggerated than what she was seeing now.
"Let's hear what Vivi has to say first."
Command is currently in Bai Wei's hands, so there's no need for her to become the fountain commander. Everyone needs to learn to think critically and apply what they've learned to other situations in order to grow.
"Should I come over?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked anxiously.
"No, you keep leading!" Bai Wei immediately objected, staring intently at the minimap while using her E skill to accelerate and circle into the jungle.
With the team at a disadvantage in the lower half of the jungle for so long, and Darius's last push disrupting their rhythm, they currently have virtually no vision in their own upper jungle.
She estimated that the ward was located on the jungle path above the Dragon Pit.
"Xuemin, make sure to use your Weakness and Protection skills. Don't hesitate when you see Talon vaulting over the wall. Liz, remember to use W to scout before entering the bushes. Be careful of Leona flashing in to engage."
"I'll get a blue eye."
The foresight revealed the condition of the Dragon Pit, where all five members of Starfall were inside. They did not choose to ambush others from the riverbed.
It's clear they're in a rush to take down Baron.
There's no time to lose. Yorick has already started taking down the bottom lane inhibitor tower, and Karma will be back on the battlefield soon. They don't have much time left.
Su Mu has about ten seconds left to respawn. He has a TP scroll in hand, so as long as he can hold off the enemy head-on.
"The plan changed, and I stepped forward to put pressure on him."
Bai Wei made a decisive decision and marked out precise forward positions in the river channel.
Having fought alongside Su Mu until now, she has undoubtedly grown a lot, which is exactly what Su Mu wanted to see.
Only when both of them become strong can they go further and further on the path of League of Legends...
On the commentary panel.
"Janna placed a control ward into the dragon pit under the cover of her Q. The dragon still had more than half of its health left. The Star Guardian composition was not fast enough to fight without a traditional ADC."
"Darras walked into the dragon pit to destroy wards and look for an opportunity to use his hook. Jinx's cannon form has a long attack range, and Darius was a bit overwhelmed after three shots."
"The Leona stepped forward to activate her ultimate, E-pointing at Janna! But before she could fly over, she was interrupted by Janna's Q!"
"Talon was also by the wall but didn't make a move rashly. He knew that Janna had saved her Weakness and ultimate, making it difficult for her to deal with Jinx. Someone needed to initiate the attack!"
"The wards in the pit have been removed, the big tree has been activated, and the dragon still has about half its health left. We're thinking of engaging the enemy first before attacking the dragon!"
"..."
Bai Wei, who was wandering in the river, quickly realized something was wrong. She took two bold steps forward and caught a glimpse of the vines spreading at the foot of the big tree.
With less than 0.2 seconds to think, she activated her ultimate and charged in. She was a fraction of a second too slow to stop Leona and Darius from flashing over the wall, but she just happened to hit Talon, who was trying to jump over the wall, and Viktor, who was walking into the dragon pit to deal damage through the wall.
That's enough!
"TP is lit up in the river, it's Yorick! Karma has five seconds to respawn, and in eight seconds she can get to the front!"
"Janna was CC'd to death by Leona and Darius before she could even use her ultimate. Darius then used his ultimate to refresh his Ghost and start looking for trouble with Jinx."
"Luckily, Jinx has a trap to block the entrance and is moving towards the location where Yorick teleports."
"Hecarim is so fierce in the dragon pit! He activates W and spins like an electric fan. With the Divine Split passive, he can easily take on three opponents. Viktor can only Flash over the wall to escape from that position. Talon seems to be outmatched and can't help but E over the wall!"
"What about the big tree? The dragon's health is only a little over 2,000 after taking a wave of AOE damage. Should we risk using Smite?!"
"..."
Yorick landed via Teleport, activated W to create a pigpen that blocked the entrance and trapped Darius inside, slightly hindering the enemy's pursuit above the dragon pit.
A new TP (Transformation Point) has appeared, from the resurrected Karma.
Seeing the red light, the Stars were even more anxious. After breaking through Yorick's W, they rushed to chase after Jinx to kill her, but they were hit by Yorick's E and fell into a state of high slow.
With the addition of Jinx's W, a variety of soft crowd control abilities completely restricted the movement of the Star Guardians.
There's no way to catch Jinx...
Inside the dragon pit, two beams of punitive light descended one after the other—
The Red Army has captured Baron Nash!
"Nice!" Su Mu's face lit up with joy. After landing, he charged towards the four with incredible courage, shouting, "Counterattack! Counterattack!"
She used the shield to speed up the chain and tied it to Darius. Together with Zhang Xiaoyu, they blocked the way in front, providing Zhao Lisi with an extremely safe environment to deal damage from behind.
Darius wasn't building pure tank items, and couldn't withstand the damage from Jinx, who already had three items, quickly becoming the first to die.
In the event of casualties, Jinx's passive ability is activated!
"Tian Shu has fallen! Xiao Li's movement and attack speed instantly became like a mad dog, unleashing a frenzied barrage of attacks under the protection of Xiao Mu's solid barrier. Her cannon-form AOE attacks quickly crippled the Sun Maiden."
"Talon was also hit by Karma's W, and his ultimate couldn't make him stealthily approach and engage. Both of them died, and Viktor behind them was taken down by a single Ultimate Death Missile. Team wipe!"
"Karma's build and Ocean Dragon Soul make her so tanky! Her health is fully restored after the team fight!"
At this moment, the director suddenly focused the camera on the Starlight Base.
"The Soul Shepherd's ultimate ability, Maiden, along with super minions, has already destroyed one of the Star Guardian Towers. Karma can easily use her Aegis and speed boost to bring everyone over in one wave!"
Seeing this scene, the Stars, whose entire force had perished, felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions revealing a sense of helplessness.
It's almost over...
As Karma activated her Aegis and led her teammates past the mid-lane tower, Yorick's Virgo, along with the remaining minions, destroyed the second inhibitor turret.
Everyone rushed forward, heading straight for the main crystal!
142. Champion
Inside the crowded e-sports club, pairs of eyes were fixed on the big screen, and when they saw the scene they wanted to see, they cheered in unison.
Won!
……
"They've taken it down! Congratulations to Step by Step for Victory for defeating Starlight 3-1 and winning the first League of Legends National College League Championship!"
The camera shifted from the competition to the main stage. Amidst the flashing lights, Su Mu and his five teammates took off their headphones and hugged or high-fived each other in celebration.
Zhang Xiaoyu was the most exaggerated, leaping over to Su Mu and Bai Wei and giving them both a bear hug. Then she hugged the bottom lane duo, her expression a mix of excitement and celebration.
Bai Wei was also quite excited. Even seeing Su Mu's calm and smiling expression, she couldn't help but gently hug her.
"Mumu, we did it!"
"Everyone's efforts have paid off." Su Mu smiled, revealing her teeth. "The fruits of victory belong to us."
Ohhhhhhh!
Awesome!
[I knew it! I knew that winning step by step would lead to victory! You lived up to expectations!]
The final team fight was handled beautifully, and the championship was well-deserved.
The audience erupted in deafening cheers, with countless eyes fixed on the stage and on the contestant who was walking towards the star-studded seats for the post-competition ceremony.
Many students who came to the scene cheered loudly, saying that this moment was worth praising Step by Step for victory.
Winning the championship in the inaugural National College League, the Step by Step Win team from Guangzhou University is enough to make a name for itself in the history of League of Legends esports.
Caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere, many audience members stood up and gave a warm round of applause.
The atmosphere conveyed by the live stream made viewers feel as if they were actually there.
"Congratulations." Tianxuan grasped Su Mu's hand, her congratulations devoid of formality. "We are simply not as skilled as them."
"I look forward to the opportunity to face each other again in the future," Su Mu said with a faint smile.
Not only Tianxuan, but everyone else also understood the implication in her words, and their slightly disappointed expressions lifted up a little.
There will be this opportunity.
Soon only the champion remained on the stage. Amidst the cheers of countless spectators and the dazzling lights, the host, Yu Xian, carrying a microphone, gracefully stepped onto the stage. Her form-fitting traditional Chinese cheongsam was quite eye-catching.
"Summoners here, shall we once again congratulate tonight's protagonist with cheers and applause?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers and applause once again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting lively, Yu Xian then opened her mouth with a smile, "First of all, congratulations on winning the championship. I'd like to know what everyone who has won step by step has to say at this moment."
The group exchanged glances, then their gazes all settled on Su Mu.
Su Mu readily took the microphone and smiled, saying, "We're one step closer to our goal. We'll continue to work hard. Thank you to my teammates, and thank you to everyone who supports us."
"Oh? I wonder what your goal is?" Yu Xian asked, slightly taken aback.
She hadn't expected Su Mu's remarks to be more than just polite talk; they seemed to reveal future plans.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's lips curled into a smile.
"Ascend to the throne of the global professional league champion."
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room. Some people looked surprised, while others expected it.
Those who saw Su Mu's smiling face were actually influenced by her confident smile, and didn't doubt that she could keep her word.
And... she's clearly a stunning beauty, yet she exudes such a cool and aloof expression; the contrast is mesmerizing! (South)
Yu Xian was unusually lost in thought, and she saw something incredibly familiar on Su Mu's face.
Several years ago, a genius made a similar statement on stage.
Many people ridiculed him back then for being overly ambitious, even arrogant, but the future has shown everyone that genius doesn't boast; he always keeps his word.
Yu Xian wasn't the only one who got distracted; many people who have been in the e-sports circle for years also had a similar feeling.
Coming to her senses, Yu Xian gave Su Mu a deep look, then stopped talking about the topic and began interviewing the others.
When asked about team fights in the game, we happened to interview Bai Wei.
"The time Jinx and Janna went along the wall in the jungle was definitely to circumvent vision. We know where Starfall placed the wards nearby."
As she spoke, Bai Wei realized she hadn't said everything. She looked at Su Mu with a hint of admiration in her eyes and added, "To be precise, it was our commander, Xiao Mu, who, based on the habits of the Starry Sky players, was certain that there was a high probability of an ward at that time and place."
The entire audience was shocked upon hearing this.
Karma, who was in poor condition during that team fight, suddenly charged in. I thought it was because someone behind me had coincidentally lured out a big fish, but it turned out that everything was planned.
The Stars contestants backstage could only manage a wry smile after learning that the incident was not a coincidence.
I never expected that someone would study me so thoroughly, even remembering exactly when and where I placed the wards.
That terrifyingly confident guy... He deserved to lose, I'm completely convinced.
To be able to achieve this level of dedication, one can only imagine how much time they have devoted to the competition.
When it was Zhao Lisi's turn to be interviewed, and she was asked about some of the training content of the training sessions, her face was instantly filled with emotion, and she still had a bit of lingering fear.
"The training content that the commander gave us was terrifying. We had to practice last-hitting heroes with extremely difficult auto-attack trajectory without starting items. Not only were we prohibited from using skills, but we also had to achieve an average of 10 last hits per minute."
Some uninformed viewers might not think much of it, but many professional teams suddenly realized what was going on and their opinion of Su Mu deepened.
Many people think that killing others in this game generates a quick income, but little do they know that the seemingly insignificant minions are the most stable and direct source of income.
Making sure to finish off every minion is the most basic and essential skill for winning the game.
The subsequent laning strategies, coordination strategies, vision strategies, and Zhao Lisi were only briefly mentioned and not discussed in detail. After all, it would take two hours to explain in detail, as there is a great deal of knowledge involved.
Their skill level is not high enough to fully grasp what Su Mu taught them; otherwise, winning the competition would have been much easier.
As the interview progressed, not only Yu Xian but also the audience sensed that something was amiss.
Why does everyone's answer end up being related to Xiao Mu? It's like she knows everything, giving the impression that she's a coach for a professional esports team.
If these viewers' thoughts were heard by real professional coaches, many of them would feel guilty.
My goodness, it feels like Xiao Mu is more like a coach than them, even though he's not one. They only have a general idea of many things and haven't even started putting them into practice, yet a university student team is already showing off their skills...
