Chapter 13: Self-Destructing Kirin? You call that AP?

"Don't be afraid."

These two simple, plain words left Mlxg and Scout completely stunned.

But before they could even react, Su Mo's voice rang out again

"The factory is moving fast. Scout, you have TP. Use it on the ward I placed; we can fight this."

Su Mo's voice wasn't loud, and it was exceptionally calm.

But precisely because of this, Mlxg felt something was wrong.

One had to remember, Su Mo was a rookie.

Facing a three-man siege from RNG, he was actually so composed that he had even started giving commands.

Wasn't this guy treating himself a bit too much like an insider?

However, Mlxg did not immediately follow Su Mo's arrangement.

He glanced at the top lane.

Although Su Mo's Singed's Flash was up, his ultimate was still five seconds away.

Facing a three-man encirclement, five seconds felt exceptionally long.

Especially with Taliyah's ultimate coming from behind.

Could he... hold out for five seconds?

If he couldn't, and Rengar lost an ultimate while Scout lost a TP, the subsequent tempo would fall completely under RNG's control.

"What should we do?" Scout suddenly spoke up.

Clearly, he was seeking Mlxg's opinion.

Mlxg gritted his teeth: "Listen to him!"

This time, he chose to trust Su Mo.

All hope was placed on this so-called rookie, Su Mo.

…………

The battle occurring in the top lane was being broadcast to the big screen by the director.

Guan Zeyuan's lips moved rapidly: "Mo is in a dangerous situation in the top lane. I didn't expect RNG's mid and jungle to disregard everything to siege the Singed. Facing the encirclement of Shen, Taliyah, and Gragas, Mo is likely dead meat without his ultimate."

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Guan Zeyuan narrowed his eyes. "EDG's mid and jungle are making a move too. Mlxg's Rengar has activated his ultimate and is rushing to the top lane. Scout's Ryze has used TP on the top lane ward."

In the EDG rest area.

Bo was slapping his thigh in anxiety.

"Foolish! Why go to support in this situation? By the time you get there, the Singed will be long dead. Isn't this just wasting skills!"

"Mlxg, what kind of pig brain do you have! After this fight, if Rengar has no ultimate and Ryze has no TP, how is EDG supposed to compete with RNG?"

Bo looked utterly frustrated, wishing he could rush in and punch both Mlxg and Scout.

——

"Taliyah's ultimate lands from behind. An E plus W terrain creation, trying to knock Singed up."

On the screen, Guan Zeyuan's commentary continued.

"Ah?" Suddenly, Guan Zeyuan let out a gasp. "Great positioning by Mo! A small sidestep dodged Taliyah's crucial W; he wasn't knocked up."

"But Shen is moving in too! Shen comes in with an E-Flash directly toward Singed!"

"No way! Singed actually dodged Shen's E-Flash with his own Flash. What incredible reflexes!"

"While dodging Shen's E-Flash, Singed also crossed over Taliyah's R-wall, but there's still a Gragas on the flank, and Gragas has his R ready."

"Gragas, rushing in from the side river, starts with his R..."

On the screen, the Gragas on the flank threw out his large barrel—his R skill, Explosive Cask!

Clearly, he intended to blast the fleeing Singed back.

But, the moment the Gragas R was thrown, Singed stepped backward. The massive barrel hit the ground, splashing liquid everywhere, but it failed to affect Singed in the slightest.

"He dodged it again!" Guan Zeyuan's voice had risen several octaves, his tone filled with excitement. "With a tiny bit of movement, he dodged Gragas's R again! He's actually going to escape!"

"In this wave, Mo has relied on his positioning and Flash to dodge all of RNG's key skills, and his HP is still almost full."

"The heart remains unmoved amidst the rising storm; unperturbed in danger, never to surrender!"

"This... is Mo!"

"This... is Esports!"

Guan Zeyuan's heroic demeanor and passionate tone instantly stirred the audience's emotions.

Watching Singed escape through various micro-movements left many viewers flushed with excitement.

To pass through a field of flowers without a single petal touching one's body!

Wasn't this exactly what everyone dreamed of being?

*Clap, clap, clap...*

Suddenly, faint applause rang out in the venue.

Gradually, the applause grew louder... until it covered the entire stadium.

At this moment, they weren't fans of any specific team or player, but rather showing respect and love for Esports!

Hearing the thunderous applause from the stands, the corners of Guan Zeyuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He was very satisfied with his commentary in that last sequence, especially that poetic quote—it was just too damn cool!

However, before Guan Zeyuan could enjoy his pride for long, the situation on screen changed again.

"What! Singed turned back!"

When Guan Zeyuan saw the screen, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Singed, who clearly could have used his E to accelerate back under his tower, had actually turned around!

The turning Singed cast an E on himself, then threw a bomb right at his own head.

Immediately after, Guan Zeyuan saw Singed charging straight at Taliyah...

In this moment, he looked exactly like a suicide bomber...

Guan Zeyuan truly began to question reality.

Was everyone playing the same game?

Since when did he hear that Singed could act as a human bomb?

You call this an AP build?!

Very quickly, Singed used his E to accelerate into Taliyah's face just as the bomb exploded.

Then, a second bomb was thrown by Singed, landing accurately on Taliyah's head.

"Huh?"

XiaoHu, playing in the game, was also stunned. "What kind of playstyle is this? What does turning back mean?"

Seeing this, MaLaXiangGuo decisively pressed his E skill—Powder Shot—trying to knock Singed up.

However, Singed twisted his body with a *whoosh*, easily dodging the E.

Singed's W skill reduces his own skill cooldowns; after dodging Gragas's E, his E was already back up.

Guan Zeyuan was staring blankly. Dodging Gragas's E from a distance wasn't strange.

But, if you dodge every single skill, don't you care about the other person's dignity?!

Like a slippery loach, after dodging several skills, Singed cast E on himself again, rushed up to the half-health Shen, and gave him an auto-attack.

Gold +3!

That single auto-attack dealt almost negligible damage.

But no one knew better than Letme how insulting that behavior was!

He was about to complain, only to see Singed actually take the time to perform a dance!

You bastard!

Can you be any more disgusting?

How can there be such a disgusting hero in this world!

How can there be such a disgusting professional player?!

Animal!

Too damn animalistic!

Letme gritted his teeth, forcing himself to suppress the urge to curse.

"Go, quick!"

Suddenly, XiaoHu's voice rang out. "Rengar and Ryze are coming. If we don't leave now, it might be too late."

"It's already too late." MaLaXiangGuo frowned slightly.

They hadn't expected EDG's mid and jungle to have such guts to take such a massive risk to support Singed.

Looking at the movements of Rengar and Ryze, they had clearly decided to risk it from the very beginning.

For EDG, this was undoubtedly a massive gamble.

If they won, they would merely gain an advantage; if they lost, they would lose everything.

And as it turned out, they... won the gamble.

That damn Singed did not disappoint them.

A mark from Rengar's ultimate appeared above Gragas's head.

This meant he had entered Rengar's hunting range.

Faintly, MaLaXiangGuo seemed to hear Rengar's roar: "Whose head shall I take?"
