ENG has no one who can handle Lin Lan.
Because no one can withstand his damage of hitting five vital points in one second!
Qi Mo can only tightly control the economic balance, using near-perfect management to hold onto the gold difference. During this time, ENG secured three elemental drakes, while DT secured two elemental drakes and a Rift Herald.
As Lin Lan and Xiao Shengjing once again kill their top-jungle duo, the score reaches a terrifying 5-0-1. ENG’s gold difference ultimately breaks through 5000!
A whopping 5000 gold difference!
It has far exceeded Qi Mo’s expectations!
The pain in his temples is getting worse, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable. Qi Mo is starting to feel somewhat powerless.
But…
This year is the strongest year for ENG.
It’s also the year he’s closest to winning the World Championship.
If they were to lose early in the Spring Split, who would believe that ENG is composed of strong players? Who would still have confidence?
Qi Mo’s gaze suddenly becomes sharp. Regardless of whether what stands in their way is man or ghost, whether Lin Lan is human or deity, no one can stop ENG’s determination to win the championship this year!
He quickly surveys the situation and analyzes the optimal strategy: “The elemental drake will respawn in 30 seconds. Everyone, get into position with me.”
This elemental drake will be ENG’s fourth, and securing it will grant them the attribute of the Wind Dragon’s Soul. This blessing is incredibly significant for their composition.
The commentators also realize: “This is ENG’s fourth elemental drake. They can’t afford to let it go, and neither can DT!”
Four elemental drakes can summon the Dragon Soul, and the Wind Dragon’s Soul not only provides ENG with movement speed but also reduces the cooldown of their ultimates. This is undoubtedly a heavenly boost for ENG’s composition.
At the same time, it’s their only chance for a comeback.
Xiao Shengjing keenly senses the crisis, “Jiang Jin, place more wards in the bottom lane.”
As the time for the elemental drake’s birth draws near, tensions on both sides quickly reach a boiling point.
Qi Mo finishes clearing the wave and heads toward the vicinity of the elemental drake. He doesn’t rush to make a move but waits for the perfect opportunity.
Both sides vie for vision control, racing against the clock. The commentators analyze the compositions of both teams, believing that even with ENG trailing by a 5000 gold difference, their teamfighting prowess is still evenly matched with DT’s, with both sides having around a 50% chance of winning!
Of course, Lin Lan is a variable.
He chose a champion with split-pushing capabilities. While he may not excel in direct team fights, once he flanks, he can disrupt the 50-50 equilibrium.
At this moment, Lin Lan and Ornn are both in the top lane. The commentators remark, “Both top laners have Teleport. This should lead to an expected 5v5 team fight!”
The thrilling moment is finally approaching, and fans on both sides are starting to feel varying degrees of nervousness.
Jiang Jin tries his best to conceal wards in their jungle, providing Lin Lan with teleportation locations. He is extremely cunning in avoiding detection of the wards, but even so, one after another, the wards are being cleared.
As this team fight is about to unfold, the commentators suddenly realize that ENG has overlooked a crucial ward. This ward’s position happens to provide vision of their backline…
Excitedly, the commentator exclaims, “ENG hasn’t spotted DT’s flank ward! This ward placement could very well lead to ENG’s downfall!”
With these words, the battle is about to commence.
In the DT fan section of the audience, there are excited murmurs. They are already anticipating how Lin Lan’s Fiora will wreak havoc from behind!
However, Lin Lan senses something amiss.
Would a cunning old fox like Qi Mo make such a basic mistake?
Suddenly, something flashes through his mind, and Lin Lan warns his teammates, “Wait!”
Before he finishes speaking, ENG’s support suddenly places a control ward, swiftly eliminating the ward!
DT’s flank ward is gone!
But the DT players are already in position for the team fight!
In an instant, everyone realizes that DT has fallen for ENG’s trap, but it’s too late to say anything now. Suddenly, an Ornn dashes out of the bush, decisively initiating the fight with an E1(Ornn)Searing Charge: Ornn charges, dealing 80/125/170/215/260 (+40% of bonus Armor)(+40% of bonus Magic Resistance) physical damage to enemies hit.
If Ornn rams into terrain, he creates a shockwave that knocks up enemies for 1 second and applies Searing Charge’s damage to those not hit by the charge.-Q2(Ornn)Volcanic Rupture: Ornn slams the ground, creating a fissure which deals 20/45/70/95/120 (+110% Attack Damage) physical damage and slows by 40% for 2 seconds. A magma pillar then forms at the fissure’s end for 4 seconds. flash.
In a flash, two flashes occur simultaneously. Xu Shengwei once again dodges the deadly crowd control with his 17-year-old reflexes.
But Feifei isn’t as fortunate. He’s caught by Ornn and promptly slain by Qi Mo’s E-Q-R combo, unable even to activate his skills.
After slaying Feifei, Ornn traps Xu Shengwei with his ultimate.
The turn of events happens too quickly. DT is being dismantled, while Lin Lan, despite having an advantage, has nowhere to teleport!
The commentator seems to sense Lin Lan’s despair, expressing helplessness, “Kiner has nowhere to teleport to! He can only be forced to teleport to the front, but DT has already lost the team fight!”
Indeed, whether Lin Lan teleports or not is no longer important. DT has already lost the team fight!
Lin Lan clenches his lips, feeling the pressure reaching its peak. He can sense the blood boiling inside his body.
Truly, one should not underestimate Qi Mo, this old fox. He won’t surrender until the very last moment…
ENG kills three of Lin Lan’s teammates, but they’ve only lost one AD carry. The remaining four split into two lanes, with the top laner pushing towers while the other three take the Wind Dragon Soul.
After this move, ENG will at least recover a three-thousand gold deficit! And the attributes of the Wind Dragon Soul are crucial for them!
The commentator no longer favors DT, stating, “DT has lost. With ENG obtaining the Wind Dragon’s Soul, they’re invincible in team fights. DT has no winning chance. Wow, that eye-clearing just now was crucial. Indeed, DT still appears too immature before ENG. ENG truly deserves to be a top-tier team. They can turn the tables even in such a disadvantageous situation. Never underestimate them!”
The game’s momentum now leans toward ENG!
At this point, the audience realizes the vast gap between DT and ENG. No matter how skilled Lin Lan may be, DT’s strategy still seems as immature as a newborn baby compared to ENG’s sophisticated gameplay.
This feeling is really uncomfortable…
The commentator suddenly exclaimed, “What is Lee Sin planning?”
Xiao Shengjing, after clearing the mid-lane minions, didn’t go back to defend the high ground. Instead, he followed Lin Lan’s signal and began moving towards the Dragon pit.
With less than one-fifth of his health remaining, if he gets hit by just one skill, he’ll die on the spot. Surely, he’s not thinking of contesting the Dragon, right?
At this moment, ENG’s AD carry is dead, so their Dragon-taking speed isn’t fast.
Midway through, Qi Mo suddenly felt uneasy, “Lee Sin is heading to the Dragon pit.”
The support swiftly opened the scanner; they all knew what to do: “Kill Lee Sin first!”
But where is Lee Sin? Where is Xiao Shengjing?
They didn’t see him at all!
They only saw a teleportation light up behind them. In a place they didn’t notice, DT had placed an eye!
Lin Lan didn’t choose to continue pushing, nor did he choose to recall. Instead, he opted to contest the Dragon.
Because he knew that ENG’s composition was relatively weak in all aspects except for late-game team fights, and this Dragon Soul was the key to ENG’s comeback.
The teleportation eye was placed by Jiang Jin before he died, and its position wasn’t ideal, but it was enough for Lin Lan to rush to the frontline.
Qi Mo felt a pang of anxiety for the first time. He deliberately sent the top laner to push the high ground, hoping to force Lin Lan to return to defend it. However, Lin Lan didn’t even bother with the high ground; he just wanted to stop them from taking the Dragon!
As the scan ended and their wards were depleted, they still hadn’t found Lee Sin’s location. They only saw Lin Lan, with a chilling aura, teleporting down and charging towards them! He didn’t even need to conceal his killing intent anymore; he was here to kill!
Lin Lan’s flash into ENG’s backline was so decisive that it sent shivers down their spines!
He unleashed his ultimate and auto-attacks almost simultaneously, followed by three swift strikes, instantly shattering four weak points. No one could see how he wielded his sword; ENG’s jungler was almost instantly obliterated!
How could his swordsmanship be so fast!
His ultimate killing blow triggered a healing circle, covering the entire Dragon pit. Lin Lan was constantly regenerating health within the circle, like a killing god unleashed, madly slashing and slaughtering!
Qi Mo’s E-Q was already fast and accurate enough, but in front of a Fiora with her W, any crowd control was futile!
Lin Lan stood his ground and blocked with his sword, aiming his blade directly at ENG’s support, returning all the crowd control effects attached to Qi Mo’s E-Q back to their support.
During this less than 2-second period of crowd control, Lin Lan’s sword gleamed with cold light, and no one could see the sequence of his strikes clearly. All they heard were a few swift sounds, and Qi Mo fell to the ground at his feet…!
Qi Mo unleashed all his damage before dying, theoretically capable of instantly killing Lin Lan. However, Lin Lan had the healing circle after killing the jungler, as if he had donned an armor of invincibility. No matter how they attacked, it seemed to barely scratch him!
As ENG’s support was released from the crowd control, it was also the moment he fell. No one knew how Lin Lan wielded his sword; they only knew that in less than 3 seconds, he had killed three people!
Triple Kill!
The system’s voice echoed throughout the arena, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.
The Peerless Swordswoman, the Invincible Fiora! Renowned for her swordsmanship, she commands submission with her skills! Killing one person in a second, slaying three in a step!
The commentator was so shocked that he couldn’t even put it into words. His voice was trembling with excitement: “Too fast! This Fiora’s sword is too fast!!”
After Qi Mo’s death, Xiao Shengjing dared to touch the eye and enter the dragon pit, smiting to secure the dragon that ENG had been longing for.
At this moment, ENG only had their top laner left to push the towers. He knew he couldn’t escape, so he fought desperately to take down DT’s inhibitor turret, only to meet his end at the hands of Lin Lan.
After killing Ornn, Lin Lan’s score officially reached 9-0-1, making him almost godlike in this game!
ENG had won decisively in team fights, but never expected to be defeated by Lin Lan. Qi Mo’s heart was racing as he stared at the screen, constantly replaying where the problems had occurred in the game.
Lee Sin intercepted the mid-lane wave, intentionally positioning himself above the dragon pit, forcing them to use their scanner. This caused them to miss the eye hidden behind them!
But in reality, Lee Sin was just a decoy. He never intended to come down; he was waiting for Lin Lan to kill the jungler first before coming down to secure the dragon and ensure victory…
“Oh my god,” Jiang Jin couldn’t help but exclaim, “I didn’t even realize how important that eye was!”
He only knew that Lin Lan asked him to leave an eye during the team fight. Initially, he thought Lin Lan wanted to teleport to the frontline, but he didn’t expect him to be planning to clean up the mess!
Jiang Jin’s eyes lit up instantly, full of enthusiasm. He felt that DT could really win against ENG!
After Lin Lan regained the advantage, he continued to split push.
Watching DT widen the gold gap to 6000, ENG seemed like wilted eggplants, with no desire to resist anymore.
But Qi Mo was never one to sit back and wait for defeat.
His brain was constantly working at a high speed, waiting for the next dragon’s spawn. “The next dragon will respawn together with the elder dragon, this is our chance.”
This was also the toughest moment for DT.
Xiao Shengjing and Lin Lan both knew: “We absolutely cannot let them get the dragon’s soul.”
Both sides once again converged near the dragon pit. This time, DT wasn’t as lucky. ENG cleared out the vision completely, leaving no chance for Lin Lan to teleport.
Lin Lan could only approach. But as he was still on his way, ENG suddenly initiated an unexpected team fight.
In this team fight, ENG demonstrated what true teamwork means, completely dominating DT despite being behind by 6000 gold.
Xiao Shengjing made the best decisions, Jiang Jin defended perfectly, Xu Shengwei’s 17-year-old reflexes were impeccable, and even Feifei unleashed crucial ultimates, but still, they couldn’t win!
Each of them showed varying degrees of frustration on their faces. With the increasing number of deaths, their chances of winning gradually approached zero…
By the time Lin Lan arrived at the frontline, all his teammates had fallen. ENG still had four members left, all focused on taking down the dragon.
This time, without Xiao Shengjing alive and without another chance from the opponents, Lin Lan could only face ENG’s four members alone, his sword no longer as sharp as before…
The commentator exclaimed, “DT is done for! ENG secured the dragon soul, which allowed them to push the lanes to the enemy’s base! Even if DT respawns, they won’t stand a chance against ENG with the wind dragon soul!”
After this skirmish, a wave of excitement swept through the audience, cheering and chanting for ENG, as they already saw the dawn of victory.
After squandering all their advantages, everyone on DT had a pale complexion, even Lin Lan furrowed his brows, unable to think of a solution.
Lin Lan had to go back, but going back meant certain death, staying put also meant certain death…
“How should Kiner choose?”
At this moment, the game sound was silent. He could hear some voices from the audience, cheering “Go ENG!”, and “Qi Mo is awesome”.
Suddenly, amidst these voices, a different one emerged: “Lin Lan, come on!”
Lin Lan abruptly opened his eyes. Though faint, he heard it.
It wasn’t just one voice, it was countless voices quietly supporting him behind the surging tide…
Lin Lan, come on.
Huff… huff… huff…
Suddenly, his consciousness flashed back to the day of the semi-finals of the original world spring season…
It was also a life-and-death situation. His hand was injured, barely dragging the match to the fifth game, the pain so intense he couldn’t even grip the mouse properly.
The pressure was so immense that his scalp tingled, his consciousness seemingly adrift. After numerous failed team fights, Lin Lan’s hands were trembling. There was a moment when he even considered giving up, just letting it all go…
Voices from the crowd at the venue flooded in, drowning out the cheers: “Lin Lan, come on!” He didn’t want to disappoint them, gritting his teeth and holding on until the end.
But in the end, no miracle occurred. His teammates all died, and he made a critical mistake at the most crucial moment. After a grueling 50-minute match, it ended in defeat…
Countless opinions drowned him: [Trash top mid-laner.]
[What hand injury? Sounds like an excuse to me.]
[Lost is lost. Don’t waste my emotions anymore!]
[It’s painful, but I don’t know how to defend Kiner. His mistakes are facts.]
[This is the first time I’m so disappointed in Kiner…]
[I’m so disappointed…]
I’m so disappointed.
Disappointed…
The dense text pressed down on Lin Lan, his breath becoming unsteady. The voice of Xiao Shengjing in his headphones pulled him back to reality: “Lin Lan, just push straight, there’s still a chance.”
Yes, he still had a chance.
At another point in time, in the same world, he didn’t have an injured hand here. He could choose a different fate.
Lin Lan tightened his grip on the mouse and teleported in place.
His target was the minion wave already on the high ground in the top lane.
The commentator exclaimed in shock: “Is Kiner going to challenge ENG in a speed race? Oh my god!”
In the rows of blacked-out avatars on the DT side, Lin Lan’s figure appeared isolated and helpless.
At this moment, he faced ENG’s four-man lineup, still enhanced by the Wind Dragon Soul. Lin Lan wasn’t confident he could outmatch them…
But, he knew Qi Mo too well.
Qi Mo always aimed for comprehensive coverage, avoiding all risks. Yet, avoiding risk itself was a risk!
Lin Lan teleported to the top lane, swiftly clearing the minions with two swings, and quickly leading the minion wave to the high ground.
After ENG secured the Wind Dragon Soul, they could push from mid-lane straight to DT’s base. But for insurance, Qi Mo arranged: “The top laner and support, return to defend the base. I’ll push mid with the AD carry. Their mid-laner will respawn soonest, I can burst them down in one combo, it’s the best plan.”
It was the best plan.
Qi Mo never doubted his decisions.
In his meticulous calculations, this match was undoubtedly ENG’s victory.
But he forgot that Lin Lan was a variable.
Lin Lan’s speed was so fast it was terrifyingly quiet in the voice chat. His teammates watched his actions without daring to breathe. Only Xiao Shengjing kept switching views, calmly informing Lin Lan of the situation.
With Xiao Shengjing as backup, Lin Lan didn’t need to switch screens at all. He used all his time to deal with the top lane, and the high-ground tower fell even faster than imagined.
Qi Mo frowned instinctively, sensing a hint of danger. But he still believed his plan was foolproof. “Keep pushing,” he commanded.
He and the AD carry pushed up to the high ground, arriving in front of DT’s inner tower. An anxious voice came through Qi Mo’s headset: “Qi Mo, should you come back first?”
With such a good opportunity, wouldn’t going back mean everything was lost?
Qi Mo switched screens to check the top lane. Lin Lan had only made three swings, and his support was already low on health. Lin Lan’s damage was indeed higher than he had imagined, but it wouldn’t be faster than them.
They destroyed one of DT’s inner towers, and the system notified them of the support’s death. Qi Mo frowned again as he switched screens.
He continued to push the second inner tower. Then, the system notified him of the top laner’s death again. Qi Mo was starting to lose his composure. When he switched screens again to check on Lin Lan, he had already dashed in and destroyed two inner towers in quick succession.
The single-target attack of the swordswoman wasn’t just limited to champions; it applied to towers as well! Brandishing his sharp sword, Lin Lan unleashed four, five, even six strikes in a second… The tower layers fell one after another…
Whose speed would be faster?
Qi Mo thought it was his own.
He stopped switching screens, never expecting that the moment he did, the resurrected Feifei would be so decisive, flashing in to cast Q-R!
Malzahar’s Q inflicts a 2-second silence upon hitting, during which the target cannot use any skills. His ultimate can suppress opponents for 2.5 seconds.
Fei Fei used Q on Qi Mo, preventing him from casting any skills, and R on ENG’s AD carry. The result was that Qi Mo couldn’t interrupt Feifei’s ultimate, while ENG’s AD carry couldn’t push the tower!
Qi Mo: !!!
At such a crucial moment, he suddenly lost to Lin Lan for 2 seconds! Qi Mo had lost confidence in being faster than Lin Lan!
The moment the silence ended, he raised his hand to E-Q, interrupting Feifei’s ultimate to save the AD carry. He didn’t even dare to switch screens, pushing the Nexus frantically!
Victory or defeat hung in the balance. Qi Mo even used Flash to reset his auto-attacks. Both he and the AD carry were ranged attackers. As they hesitantly struck the Nexus with their final auto-attacks, the perspective suddenly shifted back…
During the shift, Qi Mo’s heart sank.
The perspective ultimately settled on the moment when ENG’s Nexus exploded. Amidst the chaos of battle, with blood splattering everywhere, Fiora proudly raised the stabbing sword in her hand. For Fiora, no one could match the speed of her blade.
Victory!
Defeat…
Qi Mo instantly slumped.
At the same time, inside DT’s camp, after holding their breaths for several tens of seconds, erupted with excited voices: “Nice!!!”
Lin Lan released the mouse, his forehead covered in nervous sweat. In that moment of victory, he suddenly felt that everything was worth it.
The spotlight shone down on him, the cheers from the audience deafening. The commentators excitedly congratulated them from the stage.
All the losses and setbacks from before were now redeemed in a different way.
Lin Lan looked at his teammates and smiled.
He had always said that Qi Mo’s caution was both a strength and a weakness.
In the rapidly changing arena, there was no foolproof plan. Only decisive action was the ultimate secret of esports.
