Boom!
A loud noise resounded across the arena as Lin Dong’s Gragas threw his gigantic barrel towards Team Revelation.
This time, the objective of his ulti was simple—to scatter Team Revelation’s positions!
Zac had jumped directly into the middle of their team, distancing himself quite a bit from his own team. Other than Orianna’s Magic Ball that was still keeping up with him, his other teammates were on the opposite side of the wall. Ezreal wouldn’t possibly use his life-saving repositioning E just to follow up with Zac.
This ulti had completely divided the battlefield, and Team Skycrown didn’t hesitate to throw everything they had onto Zac!
Thresh who had many restricted movement skills could trap Zac with his ulti, making sure that he couldn’t jump out of the fray. And when he tried to get closer to Yu Luocheng’s Ashe, Zac was easily hooked and dragged to the other side with Death Sentence.
Zhou Yan’s Aatrox didn’t launch any attacks towards anyone else, but instead chose to unleash everything onto Zac. Lin Dong’s Gragas did the same, hitting Zac with everything he had, including his EQ combo.
Everyone must have the same mindset during a team fight. Don’t bother about tank, just get the squishy one first!
But unlike the usual logic, Team Skycrown was throwing every skill they had onto Zac.
But if you think about it, how tanky can a Jungler Zac get at fifteen minutes into the game?
Zac activated his ulti as soon as his landing was disrupted. But before it could even finish channeling, he was already split into four green blobs!
“Team Skycrown’s objectives are easy to understand, they want to divide up the front and back liners, then directly attack the back line. This method would have succeeded if Team Revelation was using any other Jungler. Unfortunately for Team Skycrown, Zac still has his passive which is buying his team some time!” commented Qi Qiao, her eyes serious as she watched the fight.
Zac was disgusting, and it was all because of his passive.
If you try to get rid of the blobs, then your enemies would have time to reposition themselves and come for you. Can’t you see that Zyra has already Flashed over and activated her ulti?!
If Team Skycrown didn’t move now, they would definitely be caught up in it!
Yu Luocheng immediately ordered the others, “Spread out a bit.”
Without any hesitation, Aatrox Flashed out of Zyra’s ulti. Gragas’, who had blue buff, had a very fast CD on his E. Using it to move out of the way, he easily avoided Zyra’s ulti.
Wu Sen was the only one caught, and you could clearly see him receiving a lot of damage.
Ha!
At this moment, Orianna who had been standing closer to the back was suddenly kicked from behind.
The kick launched her from a hiding position right into the middle of the crossfire.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a beautiful crystal arrow shot forward from Team Skycrown’s direction.
Boom!
Orianna didn’t have a chance to dodge. After getting kicked by Lee Sin, she landed directly in the line of Yu Luocheng’s arrow!
Again in the face!
Orianna had once again been shot in the face while she was right in the middle of both teams.
Both sides were stunned!
“Perfect!”
“The two ultis were absolutely chained perfectly. Only in the LPL will you be able to see such an amazing combo like this!”
“Orianna, is it possible that you didn’t light an incense for Bodhisattva over the New Year? How old are you? Why is it always you?” exclaimed Miracle, the mocking clear in this tone. He had once again fallen back to his habit of teasing.
“That combo was really too beautiful, even Aatrox didn’t hesitate to follow up. Sadly for Orianna, she has once again died before touching the ground. And in almost the exact same way as when she died at the blue buff area!”
Orianna’s damage was really too low. In normal situations she would have been able to at least easily dispose of the Support. But now, she only managed to reduce Thresh’s health by half.
Orianna’s AOE had only brought down the health of a Support by half, and even their own Support Zyra’s damage was catching up to her.
What was even more frustrating was the fact that Lee Sin’s roundhouse kick had once again placed her right in the middle of everything…
At that moment, a cold wind blew and Qing Ye, who would never live down the noob mistake he made with his Flash earlier, was instantly killed.
More importantly, Orianna died at a place which was not far from Zac. Initially Zac still had a chance of survival due to his passive. Following Ashe’s ice arrows, Gragas’ barrels, and Lee Sin’s E…nothing else needed to be said, he was basically a sitting duck.
Hao Yue looked at Qing Ye with undisguised bitterness. Qing Ye refused to meet any of their eyes, his face pinched.
“Didn’t I already say that Lee Sin was behind you guys?!” said Team Revelation’s Top with anger.
To be honest, they were regretting picking Darius due to his f*cking short legs.
Lee Sin once again planted a ward and jumped, easily closing the distance on the battlefield. Darius couldn’t even make it on time to provide any support as Team Skycrown had focused on a speedy team fight.
By the time he arrived at the battlefield, things were already too chaotic, and it wasn’t like he was there to take down a turret. It was a four on five fight, and once Ashe initiated with her ulti, it was basically a downhill battle.
“Retreat!” said Yu Luocheng to his members.
Wu Sen’s Thresh had been killed instantly and they had already thrown all of their skills in this fight, there was no reason to continue. Darius’ combat effectiveness was still strong. If they were to be caught in his Flash and hooked, he could instantly crush Ashe with one hit.
Plus, Aatrox didn’t have much health left and Lin Dong’s Gragas didn’t have very high damage, so neither of them would be very effective!
They had already gotten two kills, there was no need to be greedy and stay.
Yu Luocheng shot a Volley as he retreated and the four of them walked away. Team Revelation didn’t have Zac, so they couldn’t stop Team Skycrown from leaving. If they wanted to chase, Ashe, Gragas, and Lee Sin all had sufficient CC. Chasing them would mean death.
One red buff, one Dragon, and two kills. Team Skycrown was really on a roll and the difference in their gold was almost at six thousand!
Yu Luocheng’s Ashe once again returned to the middle lane to farm, only recalling to base just before the twenty-minute mark!
At twenty minutes, he had 207 CS.
KDA is 1/0/3.
“Let’s have a look at what our masterful coach will buy…wait, what am I seeing?!”
“It’s an Infinity Edge and a Phantom Dancer! How is that possible?” Qi Qiao gasped, her face clearly shocked.
They were only at the twenty-minute mark and he was already buying Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer!
To be able to build these items now… just how rich was he?!
“Having these items at twenty minutes is… Darius has only just managed to build his Sunfire Cape. Apart from that, none of the other Team Revelation members have any armor items, including Zac. None of them will be able to withstand the damage!”
“Team Skycrown’s coach doesn’t even have many kills, how can their gold difference be this big?”
Everyone watching the match also had a similarly shocked expression on their faces. Having Infinity Edge and Bloodthrister at the twenty-minute mark was already barely acceptable, but to have Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, and Berserker’s Greaves too…
“Let me count, let me count…” said Miracle as he started counting on his fingers.
“At twenty minutes, the gold gained in-system would be 1,440. Team Skycrown gained 700 from the Dragon and the turret. One kill and three assists would get him an additional 700 gold. That amount would be just nice to buy Phantom Dancer at 2,800 gold. Including his CS of 207 and adding in canon minions, that would come up to about 4,400 or 4,500 gold. Infinity Edge costs 3,830. If he sells off Doran’s Blade and throws out another 900 gold for Beserker’s Greaves, it’s just nice!”
The commentator was able to account for everything with just their words, what amazing calculation skills!
But who would have thought that he would be able to build such shocking items even without many kills, just by relying on objectives and farming.
Even Bai Feng currently only had a Trinity Force, a Pickaxe, Beserker’s Greaves, Doran’s Blade, and a Long Sword. He hasn’t even been able to build Last Whisper yet!
With these items, Ezreal had already dealt a considerable amount of damage. But in comparison to Ashe, she definitely had a higher damage output than him. As the game drags on, Ezreal wouldn’t be able to catch up to Ashe’s damage!
“With her items, Ashe can completely participate in any team fight… as long as her teammates peel and tank for her. Team Revelation really is in danger now,” mused Qi Qiao.
As Qi Qiao said, Team Revelation already had a foreboding feeling of the oncoming danger.
In regards to team fight capabilities, Team Revelation was definitely on a stronger level. Unfortunately their main damage dealer—Orianna—was not looking too good with her items.
And the important initiator—Zac—seemed to be having difficulties playing his role properly due to Thresh’s Flay which could easily disrupt his Elastic Slingshot.
Whoosh!
The Enchanted Crystal Arrow burst into sparkles, landing a direct hit on Zyra who was planting a ward.
Aatrox and Lee Sin wasted no time in simultaneously launching an attack and instantly killed off Zyra!
Lee Sin used Safeguard to return and Aatrox grabbed the lantern to smoothly retreat.
By the time Team Revelation wanted to launch a counter, Team Skycrown had already cleanly executed a kill and disappeared from the area!
***
“Team Skycrown is in trouble now!”
“They have been cornered by Darius in the Dragon Pit area. And above the pit, Zac is positioned waiting to jump in!” exclaimed Qi Qiao, her voice slightly panicked.
This time, Team Skycrown made a slight error in movement. Team Revelation who had great awareness had caught on and immediately latched onto this opportunity.
Darius moved decisively, Flashing from the bottom lane and trapping Team Skycrown in the Dragon Pit area.
At the top side, Ezreal, Zyra, and Orianna were maintaining a safe distance and throwing their skills from where they stood.
Team Skycrown now only had two choices. One was to use the Dragon Pit as a defense base and fight against Team Revelation. Or, they could force their way through the enemy’s blue buff area to run away, but they would then be surrounded by their opponents who were at the top side.
More horrifyingly, Zac who had rushed over was waiting at the top of the Dragon Pit!
In short, as long as Zac launched himself into the fray, it wouldn’t matter whether Thresh disrupts his jump or not. Once he activates his ulti, he would still be able to catch them.
With Team Skycrown’s lineup, they were unfortunately surrounded.
Team Revelation was indeed a veteran team, being able to grasp the flaw of Team Skycrown’s lineup in this situation. And they were smart enough to take advantage of the time that Team Skycrown was aiming to take the Dragon.
Forget about items or gold difference, once Team Revelation released the outrageous amount of CC from their ulti, Team Skycrown wouldn’t stand a chance at all!
“I don’t have my ulti!” said Lin Dong, furrowing his brows.
If Lin Dong’s Gragas had his ulti, he could at least scatter their positions. Then, all he had to do was fail in killing Zac before his ulti was up.
Once Zac had recovered his health and hurried back, the ward above the pit already showed that he was coming from the back of red buff towards the Dragon Pit top side.
Team Revelation didn’t initiate. Instead, they boxed Team Skycrown into the Dragon Pit area and waited for Zac to jump in from above!
