Chapter 140

Five days later, the invincible DL and the improving UNG met at the San Francisco eSports Arena.

The San Francisco arena was even more electrifying than New York's. Sparks ignited the stage as the World Championship theme song was passionately performed. Giant posters of the two major LPL teams, their figures and faces shimmering in the light and shadow, ignited an unparalleled aura.

The two teams were waiting behind the stage for their appearances. Xingxing, dressed to impeccable fashion, was now leaning weakly against the arms of several people.

Le Anyi shook him vigorously: "Cheer up."

Jiang Lin: "Stars! Stars!"

Qu Xing stroked his heart and said, "I can't take it anymore. I'm so nervous."

"Damn it." Le Anyi: "You can't be nervous. If you are nervous, I will be nervous too."

Upper smiled across from them, "It's okay, it'll be over in a few hours anyway."

The winner will be revealed in a few hours.

When Qu Xing heard this, his heart started pounding even faster. He quickly stood up, grabbed Ling Yin, and rubbed him vigorously. Just as he was about to ask Ling Yin if he was nervous, he heard the drumbeats that ended the music, and the host's voice came through the microphone, echoing throughout the venue.

"Welcome, Dynasty Legend!"

"Top lane, easy!"

Qu Xing rushed to rub Ling Yin's waist.

"Jungler, Blaze!"

Qu Xing lifted his arm to glance at the pattern on the uniform, then touched it and put it back down. The crowd in front of him dwindled, while the dazzling lights from the stage grew brighter. Ling Yin suddenly hooked his finger back.

Qu Xing lowered his eyes to look at it, then put his hand on it.

He clenched his hand for a moment and then released it. The host called out the mid-lane player's name:

"Mid, Wind!!"

The cheers were noticeably louder. The light from the stage was so blinding that Qu Xing couldn't even see how Ling Yin got out. When he looked again after a moment's pause, Ling Yin was completely engulfed in the light, with only the "Wind" behind him standing out.

How can he walk so handsomely?

"AD-carry..."

"Bottom lane."

“Dazzling!!!”

Qu Xing was dazzled by the gathered light.

When the person on the big screen closed his eyes briefly and then opened them again, the light in his bright eyes seemed to flicker slightly.

The boy had a striking figure, a carefully styled haircut, and a stud earring. The ruby ​​​​red complemented his piercing eyes. He was already strikingly good-looking and loved to dress up, his whole person shimmering. If it weren't for his incredibly friendly demeanor, he'd be so dazzling that people would be embarrassed to look at him.

With nothing before him except the sea of ​​spectators and the bright lights, and no one to interact with, Qu Xing could only quietly walk to the stage, his soft, approachable demeanor stripped of its edge. I wonder what kind of upbringing this person had; he's clearly a bright, cheerful boy, yet even as he walks so quietly, he seems to possess a certain poised dignity, without any sense of oppression.

This temperament has a kind of magic that can give everyone the courage to like him, regardless of their status and age.

After a short walk, he was so handsome that the audience cheered, mixed with some teasing words that had nothing to do with the game.

Qu Xing stood beside Ling Yin.

"Assist, xixi!!"

The director's camera almost failed to cut away from Qu Xing's face.

After all five UNG members made their debut, the S-League Finals officially began.

Qu Xing sat in front of the screen and subconsciously glanced to his right.

Do your best... your hand, his brother has been taking very good care of it these past few days. If it hurts any more, it would be foolish.

"Come on, UNG!" Le Anyi yelled, "I want to see what lineup you use."

Lan Feng: "Come on Qingyi, give me a prediction?"

Qing smiled and said, "I won't make any predictions about that. They're all from the LPL. However, I think UNG might be the team in the league that knows how to play against DL the best."

Lan Feng: "They have played the most games against DL, and are also the team that has won the most games against DL."

Qingyi: "Anyway, let's just look forward to it! Whether it's DL, who haven't lost a single game yet, or UNG, who are getting stronger and stronger, I hope they can put on a wonderful match today."

Lan Feng added: "At least it should be played to its full capacity. DL has never played to its full capacity yet. This makes everyone who bought the ticket feel like they're losing out."

The live broadcast barrage was flooding the screen like crazy.

【No loss, no loss】

[Three games are enough, I just like to see 3-0]

UNG is on the blue side, and the first hero they lock onto is Time Keeper Zilean.

Lan Feng broke into a voice, "Kilan??? I've never seen this hero in the World Championships before!"

"Fuck, they really did this, Xingxing is awesome." Le Anyi grinned, "Then what about the lineup we prepared, hehehe."

"Have fun, kids," Zhao Hui said, "just don't get yourself into trouble."

After various discussions and analyses by the coaching staff and Xingxing, UNG's Kieran lineup has basically determined which heroes it will be.

The logic of their lineup is very simple, just like FRI who defeated them completely with the lineup for the first time, roaming around and making it impossible for the opponents who don't know what's going on to choose a targeted lineup.

However, their roaming goes a step further than FRI. They use the hero's acceleration to create a time difference, switch lanes, push towers, and seize resources.

It's a bit like the tactics Qu Xing used to defeat EKN in the third game. This tactic doesn't involve the personal strength of the players. No matter how strong you are, you only have two pairs of legs. If you can't outrun me, you will be killed by operations. Maybe you won't be able to have a serious fight from beginning to end.

However, most people cannot do the time difference operation like Qu Xing. UNG's Kieran lineup can achieve time difference solely by relying on the hero mechanism.

The DL coaching staff ultimately decided on a counter-role lineup that wasn't meant to dismantle UNG's lineup. If they did so in the first game, UNG would immediately become alert and switch tactics. They could only feign ignorance and play along.

If you speed up, I speed up too. Your lineup is weird, but ours is even weirder than yours.

So when DL's lineup showed an AD and two supports, both commentators were confused.

"Where's the mage?" Lan Feng asked, "What will Feng Shen play this time? Will he play support? Renata? Or Bard?"

Hero exchange completed.

Lan Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, young lovers are not doing their jobs properly."

Qingyi: "Very good, Fengshen plays AD, and the two bottom laners play support."

It stands to reason that this kind of thing happening on the S-League finals stage should be shocking.

My heart is broken and I am worried. Is this a seizure? What should I do? Can I win?

But in fact, the majority of DL fans are neither particularly shocked nor worried.

DL! This is DL! Of course, there are considerations behind everything DL does!

Final hero selection.

UNG: Gangplank the Scourge of the Sea, Nidalee the Wild Huntress, Zilean the Keeper of Time, Varus the Arrow of Retribution, Leona the Dawn Goddess.

DL: Undead God of War Sion, Eternal Nightmare Morten, Goddess of War Sivir, Alchemist Baron Renata, Astral God Bard

Lan Feng: "Apart from anything else, Fengshen and Daisy have really deep hero pools."

Qingyi: "Hero Sea."

Lan Feng: "At the World Championship, they dare to use any hero. AD has started playing support, look at this situation."

In the early stages of the game, DL's performance was completely unexpected by the audience—or rather, UNG's performance was unexpected.

Although DL's lineup differed from UNG's original plan, UNG was very proficient in this lineup, and DL had never played against them in this way. Leveraging Kilean's passive experience bonus, Upper quickly gained a half-level lead over He Weichen, easily taking the first Water Dragon.

DL fans are not panicking at this time.

Everything is in DL plan.

Besides, Upper is very good at resource management, so it's normal that their Daisy and Wind God haven't made any progress yet.

Until the camera shifted to the bottom lane. Initially, everything was normal, with Qu Xing still dominating the opponent. Three seconds later, Fan, seizing the opportunity when Jiang Lin was roaming to place wards, suddenly flashed E without warning, immobilizing Qu Xing, and then used Burst to kill Dazzling in two hits.

Da...Dazzling.

Dead...

The man who has never died in eight hundred years contributed blood today!

Le Anyi heard Qu Xing's heartfelt sigh from the voice: "Oh my god... so amazing."

Lan Feng couldn't accept it: "Ah!!!!"

Qing Yi: "...Why does it feel weird? This is different from the DL I remember."

The situation in the middle lane was also strange. Yina kept using double Q stun to consume Ling Yin. Ling Yin was actually consumed by him, and his health slowly dropped to the bottom.

Lan Feng watched helplessly as Jilan was about to kill the Wind God with his staff in the next second, and he couldn't accept it: "No!!! What happened to DL!! It's over! The Wind God is going to die..."

Lan Feng: “Oh no.”

Ling Yin suddenly activated his ultimate to accelerate. The next moment, He Weichen arrived, and Nightmare turned off the lights. Yina instantly lost her target and was killed by Ling Yin.

Lan Feng: "Oh, you're worrying too much. Both teams are doing fine. Everyone's playing their own game. DL has a plan, right?"

Qing Yi: "It just feels a little abnormal...right."

Le Anyi couldn't believe it either. Just looking at the scene just now, if He Weichen hadn't arrived in time, the team leader would definitely have died.

Le Anyi asked weakly: "Xingxing, tell me, you two did this on purpose, right?"

Qu Xing: "No, who would die on purpose? Be careful too, they really have research on this."

Le Anyi: “…” So his star was killed by the thread.

Oh my god! Oh my god! It's over! And that's even after they've done some research on UNG's lineup. It's already like this! Xingxing got killed in a lane, and the team leader almost got killed in a lane! But they only figured out two lineups! What about the remaining lineups they don't understand at all?

Le Anyi was also horrified to discover that he was indeed no match for UNG's new top laner.

Le Anyi was severely injured by a barrel of bullets from Thorn.

Le Anyi: “Fuck…”

"Don't panic, Lele." Qu Xing said, "Just go up and die."

Le Anyi: “What???”

Qu Xing: "Eat two layers of the pagoda before you die in it."

Le Anyi: “Oh!”

Without hesitation, Le Anyi rushed forward and hit Thorn twice, killing him in front of the tower. Then, his passive Death Glory was triggered, and the Explosion Rune triggered the explosion effect, quickly knocking down two layers of the tower skin.

After he died and went home to get money to buy equipment, Le Anyi thought that Xingxing was indeed stable: "So you actually knew you were going to be killed in the lane just now."

Qu Xing: "No, I didn't expect that."

Le Anyi: “Fuck…”

He Weichen couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Are you sick? It was just a kill. Who the hell doesn't die while playing games?"

Le Anyi shouted in his heart:

But that's Xingxing!!! When has Xingxing ever been killed in a lane?! And the captain! Isn't he a solo kill king? How did he almost get killed? Has UNG really evolved to this point? What the hell?!

Qu Xing seemed to hear the cry in his heart, saying: "Don't be afraid, you won't lose."

Le Anyi said earnestly, "Everything is as planned, right?"

"..." Qu Xing sighed softly: "No, I really don't understand it yet."

Le Anyi: “…”

Le Anyi: "Then Captain, you..."

Ling Yin dodged the opponent's skill by moving: "Me neither."

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!

It’s over. It’s over.
