In League of Legends matches, most are evenly matched, so every bit of advantage is hard-earned.
To give away the advantage they worked so hard to secure and face a four-person group that has already gained momentum, no one knows how much courage it takes.
Watching Lin Lan’s determined figure, willingly facing being gradually surrounded by the opponents, many couldn’t bear to witness what might be his tragic end and dared not look any longer…
YTF, upon seeing Lin Lan and Xu Shengwei switch lanes, felt the killing intent rising. They were worried they couldn’t find an opportunity to suppress him, and now Lin Lan dared to come and face his death.
Well, they won’t hold back!
The duo lane and the jungler positioned themselves, and the mid-lane Galio was eager to assist the bottom lane at any moment.
Jiang Jin couldn’t bear to see Lin Lan facing this alone. Bringing two control wards, he headed down, and even Xiao Shengjing gave up his own rhythm and rushed towards the bottom lane.
The commentator wasn’t optimistic about DT, “YTF’s advantage is too significant. This 3v4 situation is quite tough unless Blitzcrank can interrupt Galio’s ultimate and prevent him from coming down.”
As soon as he said that, in the mid lane, Feifei made a mistake and got knocked up, forced to use his ultimate to escape. However, this meant he had no way to prevent Galio from supporting the bottom lane!
YTF’s three members directly dove under the turret, and Galio immediately used his ultimate, perfectly encompassing the entire defensive tower!
Lin Lan couldn’t escape at all, seemingly trapped under the defensive tower, awaiting his demise. In the moment when Galio’s ultimate descended, Lin Lan, timing it precisely, activated his Sanguine Pool, evading Galio’s most potent crowd control ability!
As widely known, Vladimir’s E1(Vladimir)Tides of Blood: First Cast: Vladimir charges up a reservoir of blood, spending up to 8% of his max Health to increase this spell’s damage. While at full charge, Vladimir is slowed.
Second Cast: Vladimir unleashes a nova of blood at surrounding enemies which deals between 30/45/60/75/90 (+2.5% of maximum Health) (+35% bonus Ability Power) and 60/90/120/150/180 (+6% of maximum Health) (+80% bonus Ability Power) magic damage and, at full charge, briefly slows by 40/45/50/55/60%. Targets hit block a portion of the nova.
Tides of Blood will release automatically if held for more than 1.5 seconds. and W2(Vladimir)Sanguine Pool: Vladimir sinks into a pool of blood for 2 seconds, gaining a brief haste and becoming untargetable while slowing enemies above him by 40%.
Vladimir deals 80/135/190/245/300 +[10% of bonus Health] magic damage over the duration and heals himself for 15% of that amount.
Sanguine Pool can be cast while charging Tides of Blood. skills can be activated simultaneously. While opening W to save himself, the damage from the E skill was also in the process, exploding simultaneously and hitting all four opponents.
The support and jungle were relatively fine, but their AD carry suffered. Lin Lan’s fully charged E skill depleted more than half of their AD carry’s health.
The top-lane version is indeed unreasonable!
In the moment when Galio descended, Lin Lan’s movements were still in a deadlock. Everyone thought he couldn’t activate the Sanguine Pool and rushed forward, intending to eliminate him immediately!
However, Lin Lan not only activated W but also preemptively pressed his E, dealing explosive damage to those attempting to kill him!
Is this speed for real?
YTF’s AD carry was infuriated, hastily retreating. Following this, Lin Lan used a Flash ultimate, instantly stacking his Crimson Rush, and directly Q’d, taking him down on the spot!
The commentator suddenly realized, “This Vampire’s development is impressive. He even secured a kill and his damage is quite substantial. YTF’s AD carry was too careless!”
It wasn’t that their AD carry was careless; it was Lin Lan’s hand speed that was too fast!
After Galio descended, even the crowd control couldn’t keep up, and he instantly took down their AD carry! The AD carry didn’t even react in time!
Moreover, Lin Lan’s ultimate not only hit the AD carry but also collided with their support, doubling the lifesteal, coupled with a Q, almost restoring his health bar to full!
It was as if YTF had been fighting in vain for a long time, only to sacrifice their own AD carry.
Who could endure such a result?
This was simply provoking them!
Tifog was provoked, without hesitation, he used a W-Flash combo, taunting Lin Lan on the spot, and his blood was boiling, “Kill the Vampire; he’s out of skills!”
With a full combo from the three of them, without the AD carry’s output, it felt like there was a lack of damage, and Lin Lan probably endured for about 4 seconds.
Just when they were about to successfully kill Lin Lan, a huge ice fountain suddenly descended from the sky, trapping all three of them inside and rendering them immobile!
The commentator shouted, “Sejuani is here! DT’s jungle gives up the jungle area directly and rushes to support! The Vampire is still alive; he can still showcase his skills!”
The control provided by Xiao Shengjing for Lin Lan was crucial. Lin Lan didn’t die; he got up and landed a Red Fury Q, regaining a quarter of his health, directly sucking the life out of Galio, who was tanking the turret!
Double kill!
The situation had reached a point of chaos. DT not only had their jungle coming, but their support was also on the way!
Though frustrated, YTF had no choice but to retreat, “Go, just go.”
They were ready to leave, but the low-health Lin Lan dared to approach them for basic attacks. Seeing Lin Lan with a thin layer of health left, the jungle player harbored murderous intentions once again.
He used E-Q to dash towards Lin Lan, just about to engage him when Lin Lan suddenly activated Zhonya’s Hourglass in place!
The commentator had been eager to say, “Kiner bought a Stopwatch and hasn’t used it yet! YTF’s jungle fell for it again!”
YTF knew that Lin Lan had a Stopwatch, but in the heat of the battle, they overlooked it, and the jungle player completely forgot about it.
No turning back after shooting the arrow. He couldn’t escape. Upon reaching him, Jiang Jin and Xiao Shengjing caught him in a set of crowd control, and Lin Lan arrogantly dealt damage in front of him. With a thin layer of health, he was very tempting. If YTF’s jungle could land just one basic attack, they could have taken him out, but they just couldn’t hit him!
Finally, after waiting for the cooldown of a Q skill, just about to finish off Lin Lan, the Vampire used another Q3(Vladimir)Transfusion: Vladimir drains the lifeforce of his target, dealing 80/100/120/140/160 (+60% bonus Ability Power) magic damage and healing himself for 20/25/30/35/40 (+35% bonus Ability Power) health. After casting Transfusion twice, Vladimir gains Crimson Rush the next time it becomes available to cast.
Crimson Rush: Vladimir is briefly hasted and for the next 2.5 seconds Transfusion deals 85% increased damage and heals for an additional 30 – 200 (based on level) plus 5% (+4% per 100 ability power%) of his missing health (empowered heal has 35% effectiveness against minions). to suck his health back up, perfectly offsetting the damage!
Lin Lan survived!
Even though he wasn’t a tank, he withstood tons of damage!
The commentator couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is a true Vampire! As long as you can’t kill him, he’ll keep on sucking!”
In the end, YTF’s jungle could only watch in despair as Lin Lan, with just a dozen drops of health, remained unscathed, and eventually, he was burst down by Lin Lan’s E-W combo…
Triple Kill!
YTF, except for the timely departure of the support, all three other players perished at the hands of Lin Lan. Despite a four-person siege, it resulted in a triple kill for Lin Lan…
The YTF voice chat fell into complete silence, collectively turning into a mute group.
With such a significant advantage and a well-executed team fight, how could it end like this? They even started to doubt whether they were truly getting old, unable to keep up with Lin Lan’s speed, as every move seemed a beat slower.
The commentators on the stage praised Lin Lan desperately, running out of words in the end. One of them uttered a classic line, “Kiner’s Vampire, even bans Qi Mo when he comes!”
The atmosphere in the venue soared to its peak, and the barrage of comments was filled with various reactions: [Can they even say that?]
[Hahaha, the commentary is so amusing…]
[Aren’t they afraid of Qi Mo’s fans attacking?]
[It’s okay, they play different positions; the fans can’t clash.]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious and so exciting. Give us more!]
[…]
Qi Mo, who was watching the game in front of the screen, couldn’t believe that even he could be teased from behind the screen. His teammates burst into laughter, leaving him somewhat helpless. “I have no grudges with Lin Lan. I’ve been teased so many times.”
“You play Vladimir, he plays Vladimir; you play Akali, he plays Akali. You two seem unrelated.”
“Hahaha, and your little cousin is his die-hard fan…”
“I think you two look like arch-enemies.”
Qi Mo laughed even more helplessly. He turned to the screen, and Lin Lan happened to lift his head in front of the director’s camera, their eyes meeting across the screen.
For some reason, he felt a sense of déjà vu when looking at Lin Lan, as if they had been opponents in a past life.
“But Qi Mo…”
Qi Mo thought he was about to say something important, listening attentively.
Then a teammate spoke with a serious tone, “This Lin Lan does look really handsome. If I were your little cousin, I might follow him too, hahaha…”
Qi Mo was speechless.
What’s the use of being handsome in a professional game?
Then the screams of the fans on the screen told him: there would be many female fans, and also his little cousin.
Qi Mo felt helpless, realizing he lost thoroughly.
Although the players’ headphones were soundproof, if the noise from the audience was too loud, they could still hear a bit. After Lin Lan’s impressive moves, the cheers outside didn’t stop. He found it strange, “Why do I only hear the voices of female fans? Don’t we have male fans?”
“It’s not that there are no male fans; it’s just that male fans are not very enthusiastic. According to incomplete statistics, male fans are generally tens of times more invisible than female fans, with very low visibility in all aspects.” Jiang Jin finished speaking, glanced at Lin Lan, and added, “But it’s also possible that there are indeed more female fans in DT…”
Xu Shengwei didn’t quite understand, “Why?”
Jiang Jin got lost in his own data relationships and emphasized, “From the perspective of data networks, under similar skills, female fans tend to lean towards those with better-looking faces, while males tend to do the opposite…”
Lin Lan translated, “Because I’m handsome.”
Xu Shengwei still didn’t get it. Being a male himself, but also a fan of Lin Lan, he asked, “So, can’t guys like Lin Lan?”
After saying this, Lin Lan immediately looked at the captain beside him. Xiao Shengjing forcefully coughed, “Focus.”
“Oh.”
Their conversation was all very relaxed, but Feifei didn’t participate from start to finish. Xiao Shengjing felt something was off with his state and called him out, “Feifei, pay attention to your lane.”
Feifei snapped out of it. He seemed to be in a bad state, getting dominated in his lane without any counterplay, “Captain, don’t camp mid-lane. Go help them.”
Xiao Shengjing checked his lane, and it seemed to be under control. He was preparing to help Lin Lan with a counter-gank when he heard the sound of Feifei being killed as soon as he left mid-lane.
Feifei was initially farming under the turret, but for some reason, YTF’s jungle suddenly flashed and picked him up, coordinating with Galio to take him down with a combo of skills.
Xiao Shengjing frowned. He noticed that Feifei’s vision on the left side was completely dark. This usually composed person had made a vision mistake…
The commentator expressed regret, “DT had just regained a bit of an advantage, and now it’s all gone. Moreover, this dragon is about to be lost.”
If YTF secures this dragon, they will have three dragons, leading to the Dragon Soul.
As the late game approached, even with Lin Lan’s strong performance, Feifei didn’t believe they could beat a team with the Dragon Soul. The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
Watching YTF secure the third dragon, Feifei couldn’t help but feel that the problem was all on him, tormented by a guilty conscience, “I’m sorry, I played terribly.”
His mechanics were never considered top-tier, but fortunately, his game awareness was decent. Coupled with Xiao Shengjing’s coaching and support over the years, he could barely compete against weaker or mid-tier teams. However, when facing a stronger team, his weaknesses would be magnified endlessly.
Moreover, after this match, more and more teams would discover Feifei’s weaknesses and target him relentlessly. Feifei might become the weakest link in DT.
Lin Lan had anticipated all of these scenarios long before. So, when Feifei apologized, he was the first to step forward and say, “It’s okay, Feifei. Just play well; we can win this game.”
Feifei carried a heavy psychological burden, and he always aimed to play cautiously, avoiding any mistakes. This playstyle had become a muscle memory for him over the years, making it challenging to change. When this playstyle, which he relied on for survival, was shattered, he would fall into a state of isolation, helplessness, and despair. What crushed him first wasn’t the opponent; it was his own mental state.
A player who loses their composure is essentially surrendering in the game. Lin Lan wanted to help him regain his composure, saying, “Have you forgotten that I can handle five opponents by myself? Just focus on landing your ultimate in team fights.”
Although it was a bit of a joke, Feifei laughed, and his state of mind indeed improved significantly. After all, with Lin Lan leading the charge and the captain’s guidance, they had managed to turn the tide in many desperate situations.
What I need to do is not to indulge in self-pity but to make the most of the limited resources and excel in every team fight!
YTF, having gained the advantage, relentlessly encroached on resources, leaving DT with no breathing room. They took dragons, towers, and inhibitors, quickly removing all outer towers of DT, and even the high ground was hanging by a thread!
Just when DT was struggling to clear minions, the fourth dragon for YTF respawned!
Currently, the win rate of the Dragon Soul remains at 100%!
Moreover, this was an Infernal Dragon Soul!
Fans’ hearts were tightly gripped, and they could hardly catch their breath. YTF had pinpointed DT’s weakness, and if they lost this game, the next one would likely be even more disastrous…
Qi Rong held onto her support sign, constantly telling the fans around her, “We must believe in Lin Lan; he can definitely win!”
“But DT is already behind by ten thousand gold…”
“But they have Lin Lan.”
On the battlefield, YTF members were strategically positioning themselves, preparing to secure this crucial fourth dragon.
DT, equally bold, accepted the challenge, and the two sides were about to engage in a fierce battle!
Jiang Jin exerted his utmost effort to contest vision, managing to maintain a slight lead in this aspect. However, YTF clearly had intentions beyond the immediate objective.
They targeted Feifei once again, rushing in and swiftly eliminating him when his positioning had a slight flaw. Feifei could only unleash one ultimate skill during the entire process!
The commentator lamented, “The mid-laner positioned himself too aggressively! He was too eager to take down the enemy’s carry, but it backfired, leaving DT in a grim situation!”
With Feifei eliminated, the grand battle was about to unfold!
In a seemingly unwinnable situation for DT, Lin Lan flashed into the dragon pit, using his ultimate to hit three opponents!
Amidst the chaos, he crazily drained blood from the enemies, and when he couldn’t absorb more, he used his blood pool to evade damage. Even after the blood pool, he had his Zhonya’s Hourglass. He effectively divided YTF into two separate battlefields, delaying the fight for a full six seconds!
In those 6 seconds, it was ample time for Xu Shengwei to eliminate the frontline!
Activating his ultimate for invisibility, he maneuvered back and forth, although the damage output was slightly reduced, Lin Lan bought him a considerable amount of time.
He first killed the enemy top laner, then targeted the enemy Galio. He knew he had to step up in this situation, unleashing all his skills without hesitation and securing two consecutive kills!
On the other side, Lin Lan not only held off three opponents but also outright burst down their AD carry. By the end of the engagement, with the last Transfusion, he directly replenished his health to full.
YTF’s jungler couldn’t believe his eyes…
How could he absorb so much?
At this point in the game, it was evident that Lin Lan single-handedly reversed DT’s disadvantage, creating a thrilling climax. The audience erupted in “wow” and “ah” exclamations, while the commentators on stage went wild: “This vampire! Still almost full health at this stage! This is undoubtedly a pure-blooded vampire! It’s just too perfect!”
After this skirmish, YTF was left with only a jungler and a support. Chased by the approaching Xu Shengwei, they met their demise, and the support, in the end, couldn’t escape and fell with a lingering regret.
In this move, Xu Shengwei secured a triple kill, with two of them being executions, and immediately went back to base to purchase his third item, signaling the official end of his developmental phase!
A Vayne with a three-item build, once showcased, would unleash devastating damage!
Coincidentally, Xu Shengwei was exactly the kind of player who dared to showcase his skills!
This time, YTF didn’t take aggressive actions. Instead, they kept dragging the game out. Eventually, the Prince and Galio unexpectedly initiated a combo, releasing their ultimates simultaneously, smashing three members of DT!
This was YTF’s strongest team fight!
The Prince’s ultimate could trap opponents within his walls, while Galio could fly onto the Prince and unleash a large-area crowd control skill!
DT was done for! YTF seized the opportunity and executed a powerful team fight!
Despite numerous precautions, DT unexpectedly fell into YTF’s initiation!
Without using his Flash, Feifei was almost instantly taken down, while Jiang Jin, being tough and resilient, barely survived.
Xu Shengwei immediately used Flash to escape without taking any damage, but the situation he faced was far from optimistic!
Just as the commentators were about to declare DT’s demise, Lin Lan successfully flanked at this moment!
The crowd erupted in astonishing cheers once again, and the barrage became frenzied: “[DT’s big daddy is looking for trouble! Ahhh!]”
“[Go for it! Lin Lan, charge!]”
“[I’m so excited! The vampire flanked!]”
“[He’s really good at finding positions!]”
Lin Lan found a perfect position for himself, directly using his ultimate on three opponents. With a single Q, he took out their AD carry. Following closely, Xiao Shengjing helped Lin Lan absorb a considerable amount of damage, unleashing a powerful control chain. Living up to expectations, Lin Lan, in the midst of the crowd, took on three opponents, used his Q to absorb blood, and instantly killed the support!
Originally, DT was at a disadvantage, but Lin Lan’s perfect flank directly reversed the situation!
Jiang Jin successfully saved Xu Shengwei before dying. Xu Shengwei knew he couldn’t win against Galio. He turned around and pinned Galio to the wall, went into stealth, and then swapped positions with Lin Lan!
Originally, Lin Lan had to face the opponent’s very tanky top laner, possibly unable to kill him even if he emptied his mana.
Meanwhile, Xu Shengwei faced a high-damage jungler. He might not even be able to get in two basic attacks before getting burst down!
This exchange of positions during stealth completely confused YTF!
Xu Shengwei played as Vayne, specializing in dealing with tanks. Their top laner, no matter how tanky, was a matter of seconds in his hands!
Lin Lan’s Sanguine Pool cooldown was also up. Faced with the massive damage from the Prince and Galio, he directly activated Sanguine Pool to dodge everything!
The commentators exclaimed, “DT’s double ADCs played very smart! This positional swap was truly brilliant!”
After a burst of devastating output, YTF’s top laner fell, and Galio died at the hands of Lin Lan, leaving only a jungle who fled in a pitiful state.
The surviving Lin Lan and Xu Shengwei were actually left with only a sliver of health. Their victory relied on the advantage in hand speed!
In front of the screen, YTF’s entire team looked ashen-faced. They were experienced players skilled in tactics, but in team fights, against these young players from DT… they always fell just short!
The barrage of comments went wild: [Oh my, is this the hand speed of the younger generation?]
[18-year-old top laner, 17-year-old AD, their hand speed is truly remarkable!]
[Alas, it seems YTF is getting old…]
DT secured the Infernal Dragon, once again extending their lifeline and reducing the economic gap to five thousand!
Team fighting had become something YTF least wanted to face, but avoiding it was not an option because the Elder Dragon had just respawned!
Take the Baron Nashor or the Elder Dragon?
This was a very difficult question.
After these two team fights, DT’s Xu Shengwei had developed well. They lacked no damage. Even if YTF reluctantly secured the Dragon Soul, they were at risk of becoming the first team to “get the Dragon Soul and still lose”!
“Take the Elder Dragon,” Tifog gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, “this wave determines victory or defeat.”
If they continued to delay, Vayne’s damage would only increase, and the Vampire’s assassinations would be even quicker, rendering it utterly meaningless!
Obviously, DT also realized their intentions. Both teams converged at the Dragon pit, eyeing each other warily, neither daring to make the first move.
The two consecutive disastrous team fights had cast a psychological shadow over YTF, making them reluctant to engage even in favorable opportunities. In this hesitation, Xiao Shengjing managed to sneakily steal the Infernal Dragon!
At this moment, YTF resembled a duck placed on the shelf – compelled to act. Because in the next wave, it would be DT’s Dragon Soul team fight!
Once again, the Prince and Galio unleashed their classic combo, but this time, every member of DT had a Flash!
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh,” three flashes, delivering a direct death sentence to YTF!
Lin Lan, with a graceful flanking maneuver, took down their AD with just one E ability, an unreasonable amount of damage!
After executing a full damage rotation, he activated Sanguine Pool and Zhonya’s Hourglass on the spot, delaying for a whopping 5 seconds. By the time Xiao Shengjing arrived, Lin Lan was still in full health!
At this moment, in the eyes of YTF, Lin Lan appeared as nothing less than a demonic presence, an unkillable demon!
This is no longer a fair duel but rather DT’s hunting moment!
They wiped out the entire YTF team, secured the Elder Dragon, returned to base to organize their equipment, and eagerly awaited the final team fight!
Facing a six-item Vampire and Vayne, YTF had no way out!
They could only retreat again and again, yielding ground continuously. In the end, with no retreat left, they tearfully initiated the team fight, falling one after another at the feet of DT.
The Nexus tower collapsed with a resounding crash. YTF perished without a fight, powerless. The remaining crystal, fragile and unable to withstand anymore, couldn’t last for even 2 seconds before slowly exploding.
“Let’s congratulate DT for winning the match! With a score of 2:0, as newcomers, they assertively claim victory!”
The venue erupted in intense cheers, celebrating not only DT but also this classic matchup of mutual unwillingness to concede!
DT emerged victorious!
In a newcomer’s stance, they decisively defeated a team with a 12-year history!
In the intense battle that lasted for 50 minutes, facing three Elder Dragon Souls for YTF, a perilous Nexus, and an economic deficit of ten thousand, each member clenched their teeth, refused to give up, and didn’t concede. Finally, they welcomed this moment of victory under such desperate circumstances!
