Kha’Zix had very high damage, so high that even after using some skills, it could cut Luocheng’s health by about seventy percent!
The only thing was, Birch could only run after exhausting his skills.
Revive and chase!
Even without the help of his Ultimate skill, Luocheng had crazy movement speed!
Every time he used his Tumble, he would take advantage of his Night Hunter’s ability to continue increasing his movement speed!
This was one of the most conventional ways to use Vayne. By using the Phantom Dancer, she would be permeable to units, so he could ignore the enemy minions blocking his path.
As he used his Tumble ability, he also shot out a bolt, resetting the cooldown of his Q skill. At the same time, if his bolt killed the enemy minion, he would trigger three types of buffs to his movement speed at once, increasing his movement speed by twelve percent!
Coupled with Vayne’s passive, even if he had already used his Ultimate skill, if there was an enemy in range, Vayne could definitely catch up to the enemy. This was definitely one of Vayne’s strongest points!
Birch’s movement speed without his Q skill to evade was extremely slow. In a few seconds, Luocheng had already caught up to him.
Birch braced himself and turned around to face Luocheng, trying to find a way to kill him instead.
Now, a professional ADC could have seen that counter attack from a mile away. Luocheng knew to dodge with inhuman reflexes, he might have even calculated all the moves that could be played against him!
Luocheng sneakily stood there and stopped, facing Kha’Zix. As soon as Kha’Zix turned around and leapt into the air…
“BANG!”
A silver bolt flew across the sky and landed precisely on Kha’Zix mid flight!
“Thud!”
Kha’Zix had been pinned to the remnant of the tower and could not move. The silver bolts did not stop, just two more bolts and a Q skill could cut down half of it’s health. It seemed as though this insane burst of damage would kill Kha’Zix even before the stun wore out!
“WHOA!”
The crowd immediately went wild, all of them barely believing their eyes!
Vayne had shot down Kha’Zix mid flight and had even pinned it to the ruin of the tower, that was just unbelievable!
Every Vayne player should know that there was only half a second for his E skill to work, and the time for Kha’Zix to land was also around half a second!
If he had waited for Birch’s Kha’Zix to turn around and jump, and then only use his E skill, Kha’Zix would definitely have landed first.
This Hawk had pinned the enemy to the tower mid flight with extraordinary positioning!
This play showed that Luocheng had an immense amount of skill and experience to even pin someone with a skill within half a second!
There were a tiny amount of Diamond and Platinum ranked players in the crowd. Most of the people present were either Gold, Silver, Bronze, or even unranked players. Most of the time, they would ponder about what is the difference between them and a professional player.
In this match, Luocheng had let all of them know what a “Game Sense” truly was!
Most players would just stop at estimating the enemy’s rotations, but in actuality, there were many more things included. The enemy’s future position, estimating ability, flash radius, counterattack estimation, psychological state…
Firstly, every player that was above the Platinum rank would know that you will not be able to outrun a Vayne who had fully built up at least three items. There was almost no one in the Champion selection that would be able to outrun her at all. If there were enough chances to refresh the Q skill, even Quinn and Nidalee would have a hard time escaping Vayne’s clutches.
Since he would definitely die if he just kept on running, why not put up a fight. With Kha’Zix having enough damage, it may be possible to kill Vayne even if Vayne revived once again.
And Birch did try it, making a great leap back to counterattack. It was really too bad that Luocheng was already one step ahead of him.
If you already knew what the enemy was thinking of and were prepared to take action, your reaction speed would be freakishly fast. This was also part of the psychological and evading aspect of the game.
Of course, Luocheng needed to be extremely confident and know his opponent well. Otherwise, how else could he pin the airborne Kha’Zix onto the tower in half a second?
The three speed-boosting effects were applied while stepping over the corpse of Birch’s champion, Kha’Zix, and Vayne’s speed was boosted and continued to increase!
“Whoa! He is still going! Vayne is still continuing to chase!”
Vayne was sprinting through the lane, continuously using the lane to refresh his Q skill while dashing toward the two enemies.
In the early game, Luocheng had already killed Varus after chasing him from the blue buff until they were between the two towers, even going as far as the high ground. That play had made thousands of people’s jaws drop!
This time, Vayne started the chase from her own fountain!
In the process, she had killed Fiddlesticks, and soon after, had ended Renekton with six bolts.
Upon being revived after getting killed by Kha’Zix, with Zilean’s speed boost and also her own speed boosts, she gave chase. Following that, she had even managed to pin and kill Kha’Zix, who had tried to counterattack, at her first tower!
Ahri and Varus were already long gone, but even so, Luocheng continued to give chase. He ran from his high ground to the mid lane while constantly using the creep wave to refresh his Q skill, stacking his movement speed.
On the big screen, the view was panned to Vayne.
Vayne was constantly chasing very aggressively. She had a feeling that Varus had run off to somewhere around here, but she could not see him as far as the eye could see!
There were still two more kills to go!
Where had the Varus gone!? Where was he hiding?
Luocheng looked closer, noticing that the formation of the creep wave was crooked.
Varus had not bought a Phantom Dancer, which meant he must have had some collisions with the creep wave. This also meant that he had passed by, causing the disruption in the creep wave!
Luocheng’s eyes lit up. Varus was right ahead!
Luocheng continued to give chase. After using the creep wave to continuously increase his movement speed, as expected, Varus appeared in his vision now!
Varus has tremendously slow movement speed, and his items were all trash. Luocheng took advantage of his movement speed increase and chased him up to the high ground.
The tower at the middle lane’s high ground had already been long since destroyed. As two towers were gone, this made Luocheng’s path much easier than it should have been.
Right about now, Team Sky’s Guan Langjie looked as though he had seen a ghost!
From Blue base to the Red base…
This time, the chase had lasted through the whole summoner’s rift. It was a distance of tens of thousands of units!
This made the crowd go silent. This was not a normal game that Vayne was playing anymore, it had just become a slaughterhouse!
Langjie was still trying his best to run, but in the end, with his low health and after Vayne had used her Q skill to roll and launch a bolt at him, his corpse ended up near the inhibitor!
Kills: 99!
For Team Sky, these numbers were like a slap in the face for them!
Only one more left!
It was very clear to Luocheng that Ahri was in the fountain!
After wiping the blood off his bolts, he ignored the nexus and ran straight toward the steps of the enemy fountain.
In the fountain, Xie Yi’s Ahri was recovering her health. His boots were not built fully, and he would not be able to change it to Homeguard anytime soon.
His Ahri was standing in the deepest part of the fountain, and Luocheng was approximately 800 units away. With this distance, Luocheng would not be able to touch him.
With Luocheng’s remaining health, he would not be able to come in for the kill since he would not be able to withstand more than two hits from the fountain.
Luocheng did not move an inch, standing still, just like a hunter that was waiting for his prey to come out of the cage.
Xie Yi was also looking at the bloodied Luocheng.
He had already bit his lip until there were hints of blood.
The person standing right in front of Xie Yi was the world-recognized best player in this category.
Even so, all of the competitive players were full of pride. They stood on top and shone brightly among hundreds of thousands of players. Normally, no one would recognize that they were inferior to someone else.
“Xie Yi, are you willing to come out from your fountain?”
It seemed as though Xie Yi had heard Luocheng whisper this in his ear.
In actuality, Bao Jun was the one who said it.
The crowd was quiet for a long time. Even the people backstage were looking at the screen intensely, not to mention the tens of thousands of people watching online.
This Vayne seemed as though she was just waiting for that last one to come out next to the enemy fountain.
“Are you willing to come out?”
“Are you really willing to come out?”
This was really it. Everyone knew that at this moment, these words were said by Vayne to the enemy right in front of her!
Finally, Xie Yi moved!
He had his Ultimate skill ready now!
If he had his ultimate, how could Xie Yi retreat from the best competitive player! Xie Yi payed full attention. Right at that moment, he simulated everything that could happen in his head, calculating every single possibility of the enemy’s positioning.
Spirit Rush!
Xie Yi moved to the middle of the fountain and pretended to not have his ultimate. Just as he got closer to Vayne, he suddenly Spirit Rush-ed to the side, standing at an angle that Vayne could not hit him to use his skills!
BAM!
Suddenly, a clear sound rang through the air and shattered whatever plans Xie Yi had had previously.
A silver bolt flew through the air and pinned Ahri to the wall of the fountain!
Xie Yi was stunned. He had thought of four steps into the future, why had he not realized that his plan would be foiled from the start and he would be pinned to the wall!
This b*stard…
How could he Flash right into the fountain and stand right next to himself just to pin him to the fountain wall!
Flashing right into the fountain to obtain an angle to pin the enemy to the wall!
Did he not know that the fountain dealt one thousand pure damage per second!?
