44. Incredible Output

A team battle is about to break out.

Old Mao shouted in the live stream: "Song Zhixu's flank was absolutely brilliant! TG is definitely doomed from this!"

Before he could finish speaking, Song Zhixu was interrupted a second before he was teleported down by a crocodile that decisively flashed into the bushes!

That interruption!

It's practically blindness!

The crocodile made a career-risking move that completely cut off OT's perfect flanking maneuver!

The situation instantly turned in favor of the CCP.

Old Mao cried out, "Oh no! Quesanti can't make it to the main team! This is going to be a disaster!"

Interrupted, Song Zhixu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly notified his teammates, "I can't get down!"

But the team fight has already started!

The fans' hearts tightened instantly.

Lissandra made the first move and instantly killed Zhou Wen, while Lin Jiang, amidst the crowd, precisely stole Lissandra's ultimate ability.

The commentators on stage spoke at breakneck speed: "How do we put it head-on? OT kills the support first, River stole Lissandra's ultimate from a distance, how is he going to use it?"

How to use Lin Jiang's ultimate move has become the most pressing question for everyone!

Once out of control, A-Deng immediately used Flash to escape and activated his ultimate skill.

The arena was instantly shrouded in smoke, and all the TG players could only see the area beneath their feet.

But it's enough for Orange Bro.

He knew perfectly well the direction Ah Deng was going to escape, and used the glacier path to pass through the wall and follow closely behind.

With Ah Deng's health, he'd die almost instantly if you touched him.

How can the remaining two players in the OT (Overdrive) fight win this team battle?

Even a casual viewer could see that OT had already lost this team fight...

But the next second, Lin Jiang threw out Lissandra's ultimate from a distance, instantly freezing the enemy Xayah who was attacking from behind the wall!

TG's vision was completely black, and he panicked and didn't know which way to go.

Suddenly, a deathly sound of frost freezing rang out, and the tide of battle turned.

"River has frozen the enemy's Xia from a distance!"

Xayah had her ultimate ability ready and was unleashing a barrage of attacks across the dragon pit when Lin Jiang unexpectedly used Nightmare's ultimate to block her vision and freeze her through the wall!

Layers of ice and snow bloom, the 1.5-second tightness time is close to a death countdown!

For the first time, the CCP has learned what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot!

"AD, AD! AD can't die!"

"Protect AD! Protect AD!"

Xia frantically pressed the ultimate skill button, but her hand speed was far slower than the combined output of Lin Jiang and Shen Ju.

In less than a second, it was instantly killed!

Sylas's damage is absolutely terrifying!

Lin Jiang jumped into the dragon pit and continued to track, while Chen Ju also jumped into the dragon pit, following Lin Jiang's footsteps and unleashing a barrage of attacks.

This scene immediately brought back memories for viewers of that game in the regular season when they played ZOG and executed an extremely skillful kiting maneuver!

Both characters have such perfect skills: mobility, shields, damage, and room for skillful maneuvering!

The two carries walked side by side, displaying dazzling skills, leaving the opposing team completely clueless about who to target!

Nera is not a traditional AD carry. In team fights, he becomes incredibly tanky when he uses his ultimate. Lin Jiang has massive healing and crowd control abilities. Once he controls someone, no one can withstand the combined damage output of these two!

With TG's crushing defeat, the commentators on stage went crazy: "How could there be such high damage! Those two dealt tons of damage!"

As the match began, Lin Jiang told Shen Ju, "Our two heroes are both quite average when separated, but if they can both reach their peak development in the mid-game, TG will have a hard time holding on."

Thus, Shen Ju defied the heavens and forcibly accelerated his own development period, all for this moment, this place, to walk side by side with Lin Jiang!

When blood flows freely, the scent of freedom is caught.

Shen Ju finally understood the source of Lin Jiang's fatal attraction to him.

Lin Jiang's determination stems from every match; until the very last moment, you never know who will be the hero standing at the top!

Ah Deng, who was being harassed by Lissandra, also showed his strength. He used his vision to his advantage, turned around suddenly, and feared Lissandra, resulting in a one-for-one trade on the spot!

The entire TG team was wiped out!

The shouts from the audience were almost audible, and their speed was almost superhuman. The two pushed up the high ground and began to push the front tooth tower!

The crocodile whose health was interrupted by Song Zhixu's teleportation was not good. He wanted to go home, but Song Zhixu wouldn't let him and chased after him, beating him mercilessly.

With each strike, I silently chanted in my mind: "You dare interrupt me!"

"Captain, don't worry, I will absolutely not let him come back!"

Lin Jiang and Shen Ju's attention was entirely focused on the defensive towers. As long as they could click on the towers fast enough, they could win the game!

300APM, 400APM, 500APM……

The match had only been going on for 25 minutes, and the respawn time was only 50 seconds!

The tower-pushing speed isn't fast enough!

With Xayah's resurrection, the situation has once again become unpredictable.

The commentators were uncertain: "Wow, will OT destroy everything first, or will TG respawn and defend the crystal?"

The moment Xayah revived, both turrets collapsed simultaneously, leaving only a lone crystal!

The bet between the two sides is on who has the fastest hand speed.

audience:! ! !

Is this really necessary?!

Xia flashed and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Lin Jiang, dodging crucial crowd control with her ultimate, and then finished him off with a perfectly executed backstab.

Lin Jiang did his best; he made sure to create distance before hitting the ground, giving Chen Ju an extra 0.5 seconds to deal damage.

The voice chat was filled with teammates yelling: "Push! Push! Push the tower!"

Shenju relentlessly attacked the tower, causing the crystal's health to plummet. Just as it was about to fall below the critical point, Xayah turned to attack him!

Doke's hand speed was really fast. Every feather was as sharp as a blade, flying all over the air. Chenju even felt that he had broken through the 500 AP limit.

Lin Jiang's words suddenly flashed through my mind: "Doke is pretty good, right? I heard his hand speed reached 500 in that peak team fight..."

Yeah?

Shen Ju's gaze darkened.

The fingers struck a deadly blow on the keyboard, the violent tapping almost pushing the game mechanics to their limits, the sharp whip lashing wildly.

Just as Xayah raised her hand to unleash her Q skill, Shenju landed his final auto-attack, dashing to the other side of the crystal and shattering it with a final whip!

audience:! ! !

The image freezes on the feather that Xia threw with all her might. She was just a hair's breadth away from touching Shenju, only 0.05 seconds away. But in the end, Shenju was the one who won!

On the screen, Doke's expression instantly turned terrified.

He seemed unable to believe that he had actually lost to Shenju in terms of hand speed...

Many viewers who weren't there in person couldn't keep up with the pace on their home screens and couldn't tell who won or lost. They only saw the final result, and everyone cheered that OT was awesome!

The resolution of the live projection is much higher than that of a regular screen, which can capture more subtle operations, so the audience's experience is more intuitive.

Shen Ju's hand speed—?

Perhaps only game mechanics can capture that?

"Isn't Doke supposed to have a monster-like hand speed? How come he didn't even get a single auto-attack on Shenju?"

"I remember Doke's hand speed was around 500, right?"

"My god, this is the first time I've realized Shen Ju's hand speed is this amazing..."

What's it like to have such fast reflexes that the game mechanics have to catch you?

Before Shenju even realized he had won, the enemy's crystal exploded right before his eyes, freezing all the data in that instant.

An explosive cheer erupted from my headphones—

"Nice! We won!"

"Chenju, you beat him!"

"Holy crap, I almost had a heart attack from the fright."

So, did I win?

Shen Ju took off his headphones and his first reaction was to look at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang was also looking at her, a bright smile slowly blooming in his eyes, which looked so beautiful under the light that they seemed to speak.

His heart was pounding. Shen Ju suddenly wanted to say something to Lin Jiang. He mustered up his courage and walked up to him, but before he could speak...

Suddenly—were we hit by a gust of wind?

Song Zhixu rushed over and hugged him tightly, punching him twice hard. "Chen Ju, you bastard, Nira is this awesome?"

Shen Ju: "..."

The commentator chuckled, "You can see that OT is a bit excited, but indeed, this victory was hard-won. The score is currently tied, so let's wait and see how the next game begins!"

Tying the score did give OT a chance to recover, but it wasn't enough. How to break through TG's other lineup remains the challenge of the match.

Lin Jiang quickly returned to the lounge and looked at Li Qian expectantly, "Have you found a solution?"

Li Qian shook his head vigorously and told him, "Some things are destined. The TG has a very clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Unless you can come up with a completely different way of playing, you will be in trouble. But you know that's impossible. A good way of playing has long been established. Trying new approaches requires a high cost of trial and error. Unfortunately, you don't have that much time."

Is there no cost to trial and error?

Lin Jiang suddenly realized that something was wrong; they still had room for trial and error in one more round.

The third game started quickly, with neither side having much time to prepare.

In this game, TG still had the right to choose sides, and they adopted the same strategy as in the first game.

Lin Jiang adjusted the selection priorities, but still couldn't change the overall situation. In the end, he replaced LeBlanc with a card, hoping to try to dictate the pace of the game.

The result speaks for itself: the cost of trial and error was enormous, and they lost even faster than in the first game.

At this moment, the viewers sitting in front of the screen finally realized the predicament that OT had fallen into.

TG prepared two lineups for them, one for the red team and one for the blue team. OT had only cracked the blue team's lineup but not the red team's lineup. TG had limited side selection rights, so the selection of sides 1, 3, and 5 was in TG's hands.

This match was a best-of-three series.

OT has inherent disadvantages.

Lin Jiang wants to win unless he can crack the opponent's other tactic.

The fourth game is currently playing on the big screen, and it's going in a similar direction to the second game. Doke is indeed an excellent AD carry, but he still can't quite handle Shen Ju's explosive plays.

Ultimately, Lin Jiang's strong early and mid-game performance and Shen Ju's advanced development secured the victory in the fourth game.

Two rounds of Nila boosted morale significantly.

The two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle, and the atmosphere became incredibly heated.

[Aaaaaah! The two centers were so amazing today!]

[Keep picking Nera! I think OT can win!]

[That's strange. I used to think TG was so strong and OT was no match for them, but now I suddenly feel like OT has a great chance of winning?]

[Waaaaah, even our OT (overtime) efforts are improving...]

[If OT had tried just a little harder, they could have won.]

Please cheer me on!

However, OT's predicament remains unresolved because, according to the competition rules, TG has the right to choose sides first in the fifth round.

They still couldn't break through the opponent's tactics when they were on the red side.

In the lounge, everyone was filled with anxiety. Lin Jiang kept reviewing those two games, mentally rehearsing them thousands of times.

The final discovery—

This lineup is simply unbeatable.

The disadvantages of OT are too obvious, and the advantages are also too obvious; they cannot be changed overnight.

As Li Qian said, unless we can really find another way to play, but does OT still have the opportunity to try and fail?

Lin Jiang felt like he was being pulled into a strange vortex. He was so close to success, but even if he made no mistakes from start to finish during OT, it would only be a desperate struggle.

Is this the end for OT?

Lin Jiang flipped through his notebook, a thick stack of data he had compiled while staying up all night.

In the ever-changing versions, many classic tactics have been gradually abandoned by the times, and all players have gradually become slaves to team fights.

However, classic tactics, if they exist, must have their reasons for existing.

Among hundreds of possibilities, Lin Jiang stopped moving and fixed his gaze on the "131-point line".

The 131 split push is a classic tactical system. Five players split into three lanes: the top and bottom lanes push and apply pressure, while the middle laners group up to develop, which can effectively avoid team fights.

It seems he really did find some possibility in the impossible.

Urged on by the staff, Lin Jiang abruptly closed his notebook.

"I've got it."

The match went the full five games, and it was gradually getting to 8 p.m.

The number of viewers in the live stream surged, and everyone in the community was waiting for the outcome of the match.

With the commentary in hand, the fifth game officially began.

Both sides continued the style of the first game, with OT abandoning Kai'Sa and choosing Nera as their first pick.

Chenju played two games and performed well in both. The commentators affirmed their choice: "Picking Nila, no problem."

So, should TG try to steal the gem? If they don't, OT will get the Nera and gem combination again.

Doke frowned. He had sensed the difference in the two games they lost. Shen Ju's talent was superior to his, but he hadn't expected someone as steady as Lin Jiang to place his bets on someone else.

"Give it to them, and we'll play the same tactics as in the first game."

OT successfully acquired the gem and Quesanti, a subtle change from their choices in the first game.

Fans regain hope —

[OT got something new!]

[Lin Jiang must have come up with a solution!]

[That's great! That's great!]

[Ahhh, I'm so excited! We have to win! We have to win!]

[If we beat you, we're champions!]

However, as the match progressed, Lin Jiang unexpectedly brought out LeBlanc again amidst everyone's expectant gaze.

The audience was shocked.

Isn't this just like the first game?

Public opinion exploded instantly—

[What's going on? Is there nothing new?]

[So this game will rely on Shenju again??]

[What's the difference between that and the first game?]

[No way, Lin Jiang didn't get anything new at this crucial moment?]

[This level of skill is simply not enough to beat TG!]

Countless viewers and fans were disappointed, not understanding why they insisted on taking LeBlanc when the other side had Lissandra as an option!

Some viewers even got so worked up that they started hurling insults.

[Are you still reminiscing about your peak?]

[When will Lin Jiang get over this? He always resorts to scheming women when in doubt.]

[River, you only deserve to go this far!]

Old Mao also felt helpless, "There really aren't any heroes left to pick. What can he pick? Picking Ahri is not as good as LeBlanc, who is more aggressive. In this game, I can only say that it depends on Shenju."

But Shenju needs to develop. Can Lin Jiang buy him time to develop?

Everything is unknown.

Everyone at OT is taking a huge gamble with Lin Jiang.

As the match began, the pace was almost identical to the first game.

Lin Jiang can indeed gain a slight advantage in the mid lane, but what happens after that? How will he deal with Lissandra's threat in team fights?

Some fans even felt that the pace of this game was not as good as the first game!

[I can't watch this anymore, my heart can't take it.]

In the end, it all boils down to one word: loss.

[What the hell is OT doing?! I've held on this long, and it's still the same old story!]

[This is a waste of my time.]

[I can only hold on for five more minutes at most.]

On the screen, Lin Jiang was focused on laning, and Shen Ju was focused on last-hitting minions. Apart from tactical exchanges, there wasn't a single unnecessary word in their voice chat.

The five-inning battle had already taken its toll on Lin Jiang's arm. He didn't know if Shen Ju would be in the same boat, but he hadn't heard Shen Ju complain of being tired at all, so he certainly couldn't collapse here either.

The high level of skill involved an old injury, and Lin Jiang's hand speed was noticeably slower than in the first four games. When Orange Brother noticed this, he realized that his opportunity had come!

He frequently called in junglers, making it more difficult for Lin Jiang, who already had very limited room for maneuver.

In order to relieve the pressure on Lin Jiang, A Deng could only keep moving towards the mid lane, which would cause him to lose control of the jungle.

Lin Jiang said, "No need to come."

Ah Deng hesitated, "But..."

He knew that Lin Jiang's arm had reached its limit, and he believed that his other three teammates could feel it too.

In this game, Lin Jiang's choice of LeBlanc was a self-sacrifice for the team.

If he really gets completely outmatched and the game is lost, they can't imagine how much damage the public opinion will do to him.

Song Zhixu, who was on the top lane, couldn't take it anymore. "Captain, let me gank for you in the mid lane."

Zhou Wen also said, "I can come and wander around."

Lin Jiang remained silent. After being caught by the enemy jungler and forced to use Flash, he addressed his teammates, who were starting to lose their composure: "Have you all forgotten our initial strategy? No matter how much the enemy targets me, it's still a challenge I have to face. You just need to play your own game well. If you can't handle this little bit of pressure, you'll only be more panicked when we get to Worlds."

Lin Jiang is a competitor who has been immersed in international competitions for many years. He has encountered situations that are far more dangerous than this, and his judgment of crises is far superior to theirs.

These words finally brought his teammates to their senses.

Lin Jiang wants more than just the LPL championship; if that were all, they wouldn't have been able to keep him.

Everyone calmed down and continued with the initial tactics, and the rhythm that had started to build in the game gradually returned.

The commentator noticed: "OT seems to have woken up, he's playing with great rhythm!"

Those viewers who said they would watch for another 5 minutes suddenly sensed a chance for a comeback and chose to stay.

At the 20-minute mark, the situation overlapped with that of the first game.

TG starts the run, OT continues the run.

The audience wasn't very optimistic, because based on the results of the first game, OT simply wasn't qualified to engage in team fights with the opponent.

Just then, sharp-eyed viewers suddenly noticed: [Lin Jiang went to the bottom lane!]

As the director's camera panned, Lin Jiang landed two consecutive stomps, triggering the electric blade with a basic attack, instantly eliminating a wave of minions and pushing them into the enemy's second tower.

Lin Jiang actually used LeBlanc electrosurgical unit!

The Electric Blade is an AD item. Once fully charged, it can release an electric current, dealing critical damage to four targets simultaneously!

Furthermore, the electric knife has been buffed in this version!

With two loud "whoosh" sounds of electricity, Lin Jiang cleared another wave of minions, and his basic attack damage was extremely high, so the second tower was destroyed without any effort.

The tower-pushing speed startled TG, as both top laners were still locked in a fierce battle in the top lane and couldn't break free.

Orange had no choice but to abandon the Little Dragon Gang and stop Lin Jiang.

With Lissandra's departure, TG's dragon fight instantly turned into a disadvantage, and the jungler was under immense pressure.

"They won't steal my dragon, will they?"

"Don't worry, their jungler is notoriously unlucky. Even if he comes down, he won't be able to steal it from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shenju, with Gem's invincibility buff, swooped down the mountain. TG didn't dare to fight them head-on. "Retreat! Retreat! Wait for Gem's ultimate skill to disappear!"

Shen Ju didn't give them time to retreat, and directly unleashed his full damage output, causing them to flee in disarray, leaving only one jungler still desperately attacking the dragon.

If he can secure this dragon, TG won't have lost out.

The dragon's health was about to drop to the critical point when, with a "whoosh," golden light fell.

Ah Deng is coming down!

He played Lee Sin in this game, with sharp eyes and a determination that seemed like he was about to join the Party. In mid-air after using his ward to steal the dragon with Q-Smite!

Xiaolong was acquired by A Deng, and TG's jungler's expression changed drastically.

Where's the unlucky jungler I was promised?

I didn't hold back at all when I pressed the penalty button just now!

The jungler was so shocked that he didn't have time to think it through and had to leave immediately.

This is the first time that Ah Deng has not made a mistake in stealing the dragon, and the viewers in the live chat are saying that they have never seen anything like it.

As expected, players who play OT never falter at crucial moments!

On the other side, Lin Jiang, who was being targeted by Lissandra, calmly used W to jump over the wall, creating distance. When Lissandra caught up, he returned to his original position at the last second and swaggered away.

Trying to catch a nimble LeBlanc is simply wishful thinking.

After Shenju killed the enemy support, he continued to intercept Lissandra under Zhou Wen's leadership, ending the team fight.

This team fight has finally come to an end. OT not only got the tower, but also stole the dragon, which can be said to be a huge win!

It was only then that TG realized how terrifying Lin Jiang's Electric Blade LeBlanc was.

It turns out that he didn't choose LeBlanc to engage in team fights, but rather he had planned from the beginning to play a 1-3-1 split push strategy!

Lin Jiang lied to them all!

In the locker room, TG's coach began to tense up. He quickly wiped his sweat with a tissue. From his omniscient perspective, he had clearly realized that TG's lineup had a hidden flaw.

That means Lissandra simply couldn't stop Lin Jiang's one-on-one dribble!

They picked Lissandra specifically to counter Lin Jiang's team fights, and they did a great job in the two games they won before, so they subconsciously relaxed in this game.

If we don't deal with Lin Jiang's split-push play, this game will be difficult.

The coach was anxiously waiting in the locker room. He hadn't expected that Lin Jiang would crack both of the TG team's tactics so quickly...

Is there a mastermind behind OT (Over-the-Counter)?

A pall of gloom hung over the field as Orange gradually felt the strain. "The Baron Nashor is about to spawn; this is our only chance."

They opted for a team fight composition, but Lin Jiang countered them with split pushing. If they weren't stopped soon, the pressure from the minion waves would become too great in the late game, rendering their composition completely useless.

Orange decisively commanded: "Attack the dragon!"

TG decisively initiated the dragon attack, and A Deng led the bottom lane to rush over, while Song Zhixu also retreated to prepare for teleportation.

A team fight is about to break out, and Orange Bro makes the first move!

But he soon discovered that OT didn't want to fight them head-on at all; he just wanted to stop them from fighting the dragon.

In a flash, Orange realized, "Oh no!"

Once a team fight starts, it can never end.

Just as the two sides were trading blows, Lin Jiang had already used his W ability to reach the bottom lane, instantly clearing out the bottom lane minions and pushing them up to the high ground.

One, two, three...

As the defensive towers fell one by one, Orange sensed that something was seriously wrong.

Since the high ground is inevitable, we must take this dragon at all costs!

With a single command: "Kill!"

TG launched a full counterattack, instantly killing A Deng. Shen Ju, under the protection of Song Zhixu and Zhou Wen, killed two of them and survived with a sliver of health remaining.

He quickly replenished his health with a few fruits and returned to the Dragon Pit.

At this point, TG still had three players left, and their health was mostly above half. Chenju's attempt to peek out seemed a bit overconfident.

The commentators on stage got excited: "sgod, are you still going? Baron is losing health very slowly, there's a chance!"

The moment he finished speaking, Orange suddenly used her W skill to dash over.

He wanted to make Shen Ju's chance disappear completely!

The final victory will surely belong to the TG!

Upon landing, it unleashes the power of frost.

Layers of ice and snow froze everything around... So where is Chenju?

The commentators went wild: "sgod used an extremely tight vision, jumped over the wall to get to the other side, and Lissandra's control missed!"

Shenju leaped over the wall and unleashed a barrage of piercing skills the moment he landed, instantly whittling down the opposing AD carry to death with a single, effortless attack.

The passive health regeneration from killing gave him the ability to fight the jungler. The jungler, whose armor and magic resistance were reduced by the dragon, only lasted for 2 seconds before he flashed away from the dragon pit.

That's terrifying!

The fully developed Nera's mechanics are outrageously perfect! Her two dashes and increased movement speed are a nightmare for everyone!

What's even more terrifying is that after hitting someone, he will heal himself and turn the damage into a shield.

Such a perfect hero, and in Shen Ju's hands, even though he's now only at low health, TG doesn't dare to confront him head-on!

After the dragon escaped the damage, it began to slowly recover health. Orange gritted his teeth and could only cut his losses in time: "Let's go!"

If we force a fight for the dragon at this point, we might get a double kill from Shen Juxiu, and the dragon buff would be wasted.

TG gained nothing at the Dragon Pit, while Lin Jiang in the bottom lane had already pushed down the high ground and pushed the minion wave into the turret.

Looking at the densely packed soldiers, Ju Ziqing felt like dying.

He had a "MMP" in his mouth that he didn't know whether he should say or not.

Even through the screen, Lao Mao, who was broadcasting the game, could feel TG's despair. He, always eager for drama, exclaimed, "Ju Zi must hate Lin Jiang to death! They finally found a way to deal with him, only to have it broken after just two wins. Now Nila's damage has increased too, making her so hard to kill. I think TG is basically finished..."

The cheers from the audience were deafening. They hadn't expected OT to perform so well. Viewers who had previously doubted them returned to the live stream, excitedly awaiting the final result.

The situation has now developed to a completely different level compared to the first game.

Lin Jiang used two split pushes to shatter TG's lineup, exposing their weaknesses.

After TG's development faltered, they faced not only pressure from the minion waves but also a problem of insufficient damage output.

Mao Zedong concluded: "This time, the CCP really shot itself in the foot. As for Lin Jiang, well, at most he was just playing along."

Don't you like playing Lissandra?

I'll let you taste what Lissandra feels like in dire straits.

The game quickly progressed into the late stages, and Lin Jiang, with his excellent split-pushing skills, pushed down the opponent's top lane high ground.

OT has assembled and moved to the mid-lane high ground, ready to end the game.

Both Lin Jiang and Shen Ju have Mercury on them this round, so if nothing unexpected happens, TG is going to have an upset.

Orange's forehead was covered in gold stars from hitting him; this was his closest chance to win the Summer Championship, but Lin Jiang jumped in and stopped him again.

Is it possible that he will never be able to beat Lin Jiang in his entire life?

He used his E skill to penetrate deep into the enemy ranks, but facing Lin Jiang and Shen Ju, who could also remove control effects, he could only use the skill on A Deng.

Ah Deng became the unlucky one again, but even if one of him died, there were still thousands of teammates.

Without her ultimate ability, Lissandra was like a stray dog, only able to flee. Chenju dealt damage, and Linjiang attacked the tower, quickly destroying the high ground in just a few "whoosh" moves.

The commentator gasped, "With all three high ground positions lost, does TG still have a chance?"

The answer is, of course, no!

Lissandra's lack of damage was glaringly obvious in this game; after being outfarmed, she even struggled to clear super minions.

The opposing team continued to apply endless pressure, and the moment OT secured the Baron, Orange clearly heard the wire in his mind finally snap.

Tired, let's destroy it.

Lin Jiang once again led his teammates to attack the enemy lines.

With three lanes of super minions and the Baron buff, Lin Jiang has no intention of giving them any chance of survival!

Orange smiled bitterly, watching the turret collapse and the crystal shatter. He used his last bit of strength to launch one last team fight, but the result was still the same—

Utter defeat.

As Lissandra slowly collapsed, the crystal exploded.

After a grueling five-game match, a winner has finally emerged!

A tremendous scream erupted from the audience. With countless tugs of tension from both sides, their hearts were being pulled in different directions!

Until the dust settles, until the outcome is decided!

Amidst the rousing music, the commentators showered OT with blessings: "Let's congratulate OT on defeating TG 3-2 and winning the Summer Split championship! They will directly qualify as the LPL's first seed and represent the LPL at the World Championship! Congratulations also to TG for securing the second ticket to the World Championship with the second-highest points! Let's give them a round of applause!"

The deafening music couldn't drown out the enthusiasm of the crowd.

The entire OT team took off their headphones, still reeling from their victory.

Until Lin Jiang asked, "Aren't you going to give me a hug?"

They were now truly certain that they had won the match, securing OT's first championship and creating a new milestone!

Countless training sessions and countless moments of perseverance finally blossomed into a magnificent flower under the sweat.

Song Zhixu cried like a dog, never expecting that Lin Jiang could turn his life around for him, a complete loser. He hugged Lin Jiang and sobbed, "Captain, this feels like a dream..."

Ah Deng also wanted to cry, but seeing Song Zhixu crying like this, he was forced to hold back his tears.

Lin Jiang comforted everyone with a hug, and everyone gathered together to express their excitement, except for Shen Ju, who stood motionless to the side.

He stared straight at Lin Jiang as he walked over, and was about to say congratulations when Lin Jiang suddenly gave him a hug, leaving him frozen in place.

This hug was different from everyone else's.

Lin Jiang hugged him tenderly and gently patted the back of his head. "You've worked hard. I'll go to the hospital with you later."

Shen Ju paused for a moment.

He clutched his arm, which was so numb he couldn't move it, and realized he couldn't even lift his arm.

It turned out that Lin Jiang had been paying attention to his hands all along.

He was already paying attention to his hands before he even realized it.

He raised his hand with trembling hands, and although it was very difficult, he wanted to give Lin Jiang a hug at this moment.

As the music played, the entire OT team—players, coaches, and substitutes—took to the stage. It was their collective effort that created this miracle.

On stage, the host described the competition results with deep emotion. Lin Jiang looked around and, not seeing Li Qian, asked Fang Luxing, "Where's Brother Qian? Why isn't he here?"

Fang Luxing kept wiping his sweat excitedly, "Brother Qian said he'll come back when you win the world championship."

Lin Jiang paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

Li Qian always said he loved to dream, but isn't he the same now?

As the countdown began, the commentator's resounding voice rang out: "Let's lift the trophy, OT!"

Golden rain followed, but Shen Ju was too tired at this moment; he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

Suddenly, Lin Jiang grabbed his hand and, under the colorful lights, guided him to touch the trophy with his burning palm.

With a "bang," fireworks burst forth, and cheers erupted from the audience. The photographer captured the beautiful moment.

Shen Ju could hear his own heartbeat, pounding loudly, even more intensely than the one at the scene.

Below the stage was a bustling audience, surrounded by his teammates who had fought alongside him. He was held tightly in Lin Jiang's hand as Lin Jiang lifted up the trophy he had never touched before...

My gaze passed through the trophy and landed on Lin Jiang's face. Seeing him smiling happily, everything else in the world seemed insignificant.

Shen Ju suddenly felt a little regretful.

Why did they only discover Lin Jiang now?

If only it had been a little earlier, just a little earlier, he would have used all his strength to catch him and protect him before he shattered...

The moment the trophy was raised, Shen Ju suddenly withdrew his hand and bent down to hug Lin Jiang in the crowd.

The scene was chaotic, and a torrential downpour of golden rain poured down.

The moment Shen Ju hugged him, Lin Jiang felt a sudden gust of wind beside his ear: "I like you."

That confession that only he could hear, the seemingly normal hug, the thunderous heartbeat—all were concealed beneath the enormous trophy.

Lin Jiang's mind was in turmoil.
