Chapter 22: Huozi's Dragon Race, Speedrun of DRX!
Once the game started, Lin Jin took over the command and started causing trouble in the upper jungle with Gao Tianliang.
This has almost become standard practice for Top Esports matches; they always enter the top half of the bracket.
DRX also took precautions in this regard, placing two wards.
Lin Jin saw that the crocodile's position was obviously a trap, so he pretended not to see it and called over Zuo Shou to start a three-on-three fight.
With his left hand, he said in a muffled voice, "Are you sure? This kind of fight isn't profitable."
Lin Jin said, "Listen to me, it'll be very profitable."
So, a 3v3 match started.
The commentators were all very excited:
"Huh? We're about to clash in the top half of the map, a 3v3! Jax has leveled E at level 1, oh dear, this maneuvering... he's stunned both Renekton and Sejuani!"
"There's plenty to fight!"
Lin Jin decisively used his level 1 E Flash, stunning two people and gaining a significant advantage by initiating the attack.
Gao Tianliang and Zuo Shou also launched an all-around attack, using Flash as if it were free.
They engage the enemy, and they engage the enemy in return; that is, they pursue them.
They traded one for two.
Although Lin Jin was killed, Gao Tianliang and Zuo Shou each got a kill.
This is really awesome.
Top Esports had a very good start.
The comments section was filled with:
"They have guts! That's the real Top Esports!"
"Haha, Top Esports is awesome! They're playing like this, trading their lives with them."
"Brother Huo's weapon mastery level 1 is already swollen, I love it."
"Awesome, awesome, this really feels different."
"A new coach and everything's changed?"
In the ensuing laning phase, Lin Jin demonstrated what it means to fight against a stronger opponent when you are at a disadvantage.
Both the Weapon Master and the Crocodile died once, but Lin Jin got two assists.
The player who logged on had one more potion than him and began actively consuming them.
The crocodile is usually a lane bully, but Kingen inexplicably lost this game, which is very frustrating.
He was worn down and pulled along quite badly. When the camera zoomed in, viewers saw the Weapon Master chasing after the crocodile.
This is really quite abstract.
They were all cheering for Lin Jin.
Eleven minutes into the game, DRX's jungler ganked the top lane, but Jhin successfully escaped in a 1v2 situation. In the final skirmish, he even managed to get DRX's jungler Sejuani to overextend.
He turned around and used Q, but Lin Jin dodged it with his movement.
Let the pig's head into the defensive tower, and you'll get a direct counter-kill.
"Wow! That was a brilliant counterattack, Huo Zi!"
"The controls and details are top-notch; it's almost like a game."
"He did it! He did it! Huozi is amazing!"
"And then he added an emoji at the end, haha, Huozi is so naughty."
This move got the audience going wild, and they all shouted along.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
The commentators in North America even bluntly stated that the top laner from the four LPL teams was the most daring in showcasing his skills!
Once the Weapon Master gains an advantage, everyone knows how terrifying he is, let alone professional players.
DRX is currently very focused on targeting the Weapon Master, which has led to a slight neglect of other characters.
During a mid-game team fight around the dragon, Lin Jin attracted a lot of firepower.
He used his ultimate skill to enter the area, circled around, and then used Q to exit, blocking enough basic attack damage with his E skill.
He's still alive!
Despite DRX focusing their fire on three opponents, they still couldn't kill the Weapon Master.
This is completely terrible.
Sylas, Kalista, and Blade of the Ruined King took turns on the field, completely shattering DRX's defenses.
This team fight resulted in a two-for-five exchange.
Wipe out the opponent.
The cheers of Top Esports (TES) echoed through the stadium.
The commentator excitedly remarked:
"Nice! Excellent!"
"DRX wiped out! Top Esports' teamwork in this play was absolutely unbeatable."
"First, a feint attack, then the weapon master goes in to draw fire."
"Oh dear, the director has already told us who the main character is in this slow-motion shot."
In the footage, Lin Jin's weapon mastery was seen taking a lot of damage, and he even reduced Akali and Renekton to half health.
He then continued to tank the damage from Lucian and Akali, escaping unscathed.
Swimming Dragon!
A pure dragon in flight!
"Our LPL has its own God-King!"
"God King Fire Bro!"
"Wow, that's awesome! It feels even stronger than Zeus's weapons."
"Haha, don't brag, keep it up, Huozi-ge."
Top Esports won this match very quickly, almost overwhelmingly.
At the 29-minute mark, Top Esports pushed forward and ended the game.
They secured their third point in the group stage.
That was a hard-won third point.
The commentators were all very excited after the match:
"Top Esports withstood the immense pressure and secured a hard-fought victory against DRX. It was a tough win for them."
"So now we can say that we have the initiative to qualify in our own hands."
"If we win the next match against GAM, we will advance directly with a four-point advantage."
"The next match, a clash between DRX and Rookie, will determine one of the qualifying spots, which will be very interesting."
"Okay, let's see who the MVP of this match is... oh? Huozi's Weapon Master."
"Although the data isn't particularly impressive, it doesn't fully reflect his contribution to the team."
"Brother Huozi played beautifully in this match."
"So, Huo Zi has now won MVP for two consecutive games, congratulations!"
The commentators exchanged a smile. So, who was the most embarrassed after this match?
The comments section started flooded with messages:
"If I were a white crescent moon, I'd quit right now."
"Are you guys playing me from here?"
"I feel like White Crescent doesn't need to exist anymore; even an ordinary coach is better than him."
"White Crescent Moon may never have a job again."
"Top Esports' finishing move was incredibly powerful; it was extremely precise."
"With this win, Top Esports' path to the next round will be much easier."
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Next match is against Vietnam, I have to win no matter what."
"Let's take it easy, finish in twenty-five minutes, and then happily make it to the quarterfinals."
Everyone thinks that way.
This includes every team member and staff member sitting in the lounge.
Except for the white crescent moon which is nowhere to be found, all the coaching staff members are present.
Guo Hao hugged each of the players, and everyone was very happy. They were still reviewing the game and figuring out how they could have done better.
Jack's Hot Dance is summarizing:
"Everyone played very well in the last game. Although I had some flaws in the bot lane laning phase, my brothers covered for me."
"Everything's great, we're 3-2 now. Let's win the last game against GAM!"
Guo Hao smiled and said, "Yes, if we win this match, we'll advance to the quarterfinals."
"Let's take it one step at a time, don't try to do too much at once, and don't think about reaching the top four."
"Also, even though it's the Vietnamese team, we still need to give it our all."
"good!"
They said it was good, but the players were all smiling and taking out their phones to quickly check domestic forums to see how to praise their performance.
Lin Jin, watching from the side, also burst out laughing.
He watched as the system added another 5% to the rescue value, bringing the LPL's rescue value to 50%.
In the upcoming match against GAM, he absolutely cannot let Top Esports repeat the same mistake!
