56. Rekindle the Spark
Prepare for the dragon team.
Same plot, same positioning and tactics.
WAG adopted the same offensive strategy, with the robot accelerating forward to defend against Zhang Mingying. As long as they could shut down the jungler like they did in the first game, they could win the dragon team fight.
But they all overlooked one point.
That means Zhang Mingying is not Ah Deng.
The moment the robot charged, Zhang Mingying used incredible hand speed to dodge and twist the opponent's hook.
He played Lee Sin in this game, and went straight forward with W, brushing past Blitzcrank. He landed and used a spiral R flash to instantly kick the enemy AD back.
Almost the instant he landed, Zhou Wen raised the Sword of Justice and used his ultimate to simultaneously immobilize WAG's front line and AD carry. This team fight initiation prompted the domestic commentators to shout, "Beautiful!"
A good team fight often requires a good offensive player.
Lin Jiang didn't hesitate to use his ultimate skill, taking down the enemy AD upon landing. Then, using his position, he executed a reverse EQ combo, taking down the enemy mid laner upon landing as well.
Double Kill!
Lin Jiang has extremely high damage output and incredibly fast hand speed.
WAG's two carries melted under his swords, while the opposing robot was helpless against him!
He's a great initiator and has indeed initiated many impressive team fights, but going back to the core meaning of a support, what this version needs is a protective support!
This double kill in a desperate situation revealed the shortcomings of the robot to many people. It turns out that WAG is not as strong as they thought, and their lineup also has significant flaws!
The nation was in an uproar, with the commentators on stage giving a heart-wrenching analysis of the battle: "River has secured a double kill, and Agod is still chasing! He's doing very well, and his damage is incredibly high! What do you think, are they going to wipe out the enemy team?"
WAG's jungler fell, and the top laner followed suit, leaving only Blitzcrank. He tried to use his hook to save his teammates, but it was another empty hook!
Viewers have lost count of how many hooks the Blitzcrank missed in this wave. All they know is that the Blitzcrank played like a god in the first game, and in the second game, OT was willing to release Nightmare just to ban the Blitzcrank.
This nightmarish robot had absolutely no impact on the team fight in the third game!
Zhou Wen's Leona initiated team fights, provided crowd control, and offered protection.
They did everything to the extreme!
The robot missed all three hooks, and its ultimate skill didn't even hit the crucial Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang practically crushed him in the face, killing their two core players right in front of him. The robot had no chance at all!
Even the hook that the top laner threw with all his might to try and save his team was dodged by Shenju, leaving him completely helpless.
The entire OT team transforms into controlling monsters, rendering the robots useless!
The audience erupted in cheers upon seeing this, and even the domestic commentators couldn't help but joke, "Playing like this with the robot is really worse than just pushing lanes. In team fights, you're relying on its hooks, but it missed every time."
As the commentator's voice faded, the robot that had slowed down was also captured by Chenju, and WAG was completely wiped out!
LPL viewers who were tormented by this robot for two whole games finally got their revenge!
[This kind of sewer hero should go back to the sewer.]
[You dare pick Blitzcrank in a version where damage is overflowing? Do you really think I'm an easy target because I can't over-aggro? Do you really think you won't make mistakes?]
[Wasn't this chosen specifically to target Ah Deng? Now that Ah Deng is gone, your robots are useless.]
[Winning one game is already outrageous enough, but winning two is even more absurd.]
[Great! I see hope for a comeback!]
After wiping out WAG, OT's morale soared.
Zhang Mingying didn't seem like a newcomer at all; he seemed to know the five people on the other side of the field very well.
As soon as the opponent makes a move, he can immediately judge their motive. With such terrifying insight, he enters the fray from the side and keeps using his R-flash to kick back the opponent's key damage dealers.
In this version where damage is excessive, a single mistake by either DPS character can mean the end of the game.
He was instantly killed by Lin Jiang the moment he landed, and Chen Ju continued to pursue him relentlessly, bombarding him relentlessly and pushing straight to the high ground.
In wave after wave of attacks, the audience finally saw the difference between OT and WAG. OT's two carries were incredibly stable, unlike the opposing mid laner and AD who made two mistakes. They made no mistakes at all.
During the live stream, Lao Mao exclaimed, "In this version, if the two carries make a mistake, they will fall into an infinite loop. It's really great that our OT team has such stable output from the two carries."
WAG secured the third game decisively, and although the next two games were still match point games for WAG, the audience at least saw a glimmer of hope.
Zhang Mingying played very well.
[He really knows how to seize opportunities; he doesn't seem like a newcomer at all.]
[It's as if he actually played against WAG.]
[But they haven't played any practice matches together, so why does Zhang Mingying know the opposing team so well?]
[I've always felt that Zhang Mingying is mysterious and hiding something.]
[Seriously? That's giving me goosebumps.]
At this point, many people noticed the key point, and the streamers in various live broadcast rooms started to speculate, but no one could explain it clearly. Finally, Lao Mao's words woke everyone up: "You don't really think that Zhang Mingying is sitting on the bench just to be a water boy, do you? Lin Jiang let A Deng play twice, there must be a reason. He just wanted Zhang Mingying to see more clearly. This kid learns super fast, like a monster."
So OT isn't always passive, right? They actually have their own strategies and their own offensive methods, right?
So they are still the dominant force, and their tactics are starting to show results, right?
In an instant, the audience felt that OT's overall image had become much more sophisticated. During the period when there were no scrimmages to play, they had been growing in their own difficult way.
Perhaps fate has not been kind to them, and perhaps the road ahead is full of thorns, more difficult than they imagined.
But OT's will never faded!
The spark in the hearts of countless esports enthusiasts has never been extinguished!
Amidst the overwhelming barrage of insults, regardless of the audience's spontaneous voices in support of OT—
[OT didn't slack off! Haters, shut up!]
[Did you lose too much money gambling? Why are you constantly yelling at people who play overtime?]
[They have no experience in major tournaments, what pressure are you putting on them? Why didn't you guys attack TG before?]
[You haven't lost yet, what are you doing scrubbing here? Go back and scrub your toilet, okay?]
[OT is already difficult enough. If anyone keeps spouting nonsense, don't blame me for cursing their whole family.]
[Anyone who starts flaming before the loss will be treated as a foreign national!]
There were too many things to do when I got home, so I didn't finish writing. I also felt bad about taking the day off yesterday, so I only wrote two thousand words but still posted it, sob sob.
