Zeal sat in his chair, stewing, staring at his computer screen. How stupid is she? Stupid Riven He shook his head and rubbed his temples. My god. All she had to do was play defensively. Let me scale and Ill take care of the Nasus. Im a Vayne for fucks sake! But no. She just had to feed and int and be a stupid fucking bitch! How the fuck am I supposed to carry this if the Nasus hits his late game build 10 minutes into the game? Fuck.
Yeah. Fuck, Ron cursed. sitting next to Zeal. He moved his camera between the three screens and added, We cant let this drag any longer. This needs to end now or were losing.
Zeal breathed in, long and deep, and then breathed out through his nose. The tension escaped his shoulders. He cracked his neck and fingers, then focused on the game again. Yo, Ron. He waited a moment for the response, then said, We stick to the plan. First bot, then mid. We just have to be a bit faster. Its time to start pushing really hard.
Cup Noodles was having an equally bad time as his lane opponent Zeal. The reason was even somewhat similar. They were both losing. Just that Zeal was angry that his team was losing the game, whereas Cup Noodles was upset with himself for losing the lane. He was smurfing! A Master in Platinum. But this Vayne was kicking his ass. It didnt help that his Support wasnt doing anything supportive. At times, it even felt like she was purposely making the lane a lot more difficult. A 1vs3!
Stupid smurfs, Cup Noodles grumbled. I swear, the Vayne and Thresh are both Master or higher. Probably higher. I dont believe for a second they arent. Theyre too good together. This is something you dont even see in Master on the Ionia. Yeah. They must be Challenger. Its the only explanation. What are they doing in Platinum?
I dont know. But its not looking good, Old Huang replied, anxious. Youre going to lose your lane at this rate. Your tower is almost gone, and then what? You cant let this Vayne get any more ahead. It doesnt matter how good this Maple is. A fed Vayne is at least as big of a headache as a fed Nasus is. Vayne is the tank killer for a reason! If the Nasus plays a fight poorly, that Vayne can win it. All on his own.
I know. I know! Cup Noodles exclaimed. He gritted his teeth. Im trying! I am! But this Vayne is just really good. And this Nami is as useless as they come. Shes like like a Magikarp. Just flopping on dry land like the stupid fish she is! Uh? He was pulled out of his thoughts by a ping on his minimap. The Jarvan IV was coming! Red teams Jungler was coming to gank him! Cup Noodles had his Tristana retreat back under the outer tower, while also pinging his Nami. Back! J4 is ganking! he shouted at his screen, though the Nami couldnt hear him.
The Nami didnt react. Not in time. Zeal grinned. Youre mine! He pressed on the R keyFinal Hour! An aura of darkness shrouded the Vayne. She disappeared in stealth as she Tumbled forward. A silver bolt appeared out of nowhere and pierced the Nami. The Vayne stepped out of stealth then flashed forward, disappearing in a burst of light and reappearing behind the Nami. The Nami who now found herself with her back to a wall. The Vayne pulled the giant crossbow from her back and squeezed the triggerCondemn! A massive silver bolt flew through the air and pierced the Nami, launching her backwards and pinning her to the wall. The Vayne followed up with another silver bolt. The third. The three silver rings around the Nami exploded and dealt bonus true damage!
The Nami was useless. She was more of a liability than a help. But Cup Noodles wasnt just going to let her die. There was only one skill that could save her now. He pressed down on the R keyBuster Shot! His Tristana loaded a massive cannonball into her weapon and fired it at the Vayne. It knocked into the Vayne, the force blowing him away, far away from the Nami.
However, there were three players from the Red team in bot lane. The Thresh arrived at the Nami as the Vayne got launched backwards. He threw back his Lantern, allowing the Jarvan IV to dash to his side, and then threw his scythe at the Nami. It wrapped around her and he dragged her back. Her fate was sealed by the Death Sentence.
Cup Noodles watched his Nami losing her health. He wanted to help, but he had nothing he could do. Old Huangs voice sounded out in the voice chat, telling him to back, to give up. This fight was lost! Cup Noodles also knew it was lost! After they killed the Nami, they could towerdive and kill him too! He had to back, back all the way to the fountain if he wanted to come out alive from this gank! Then. Just as he was about to give up, a blue minion stopped moving. A blue light enveloped it. This was the animation for Teleport! Only the Nasus had Teleport. The Nasus is coming!
Behind his computer, Lin Feng talked to his screen, sounding like he believed his teammates could hear him. Could listen to his advice and his calls. Dont panic, guys! Im coming! Haha! Time for some fun!
Moments after the blue minion stopped walking and the blue light wrapped around it, a red minion also stopped moving. A red light wrapped around it. The Riven was also teleporting down and joining the fight! This fight was going to be a 4vs3! And the Nami was already almost dead. This was basically a 4vs2!
Zeal had his Vayne auto attack the Nami. A few more hits and shed be dead. Then he could focus on the Nasus and Tristana. He grinned and said to Ron, Keep going! We got this! That Nasus cant do shit against all four of us!
Cup Noodles had his Tristana move back and forth, apprehensive. Old Huang yelled in his ear, Run! Ditch the Nami! Its lost! You cant win this! Go back to base! But he didnt want to back. He wanted to fight this fight! He gritted his teeth. The Nasus was teleporting over. There still was a chance. He stopped moving his mouse back. No. Im fighting! The apprehension disappeared from his voice. And from his game. He had his Tristana walk into the fight, her cannon loaded. Nasus is coming! We can win! That Vayne has pushed me around enough. Its time I do something back. This is the perfect opportunity. The Nasus just has to help me get a kill, and then I got my reset on Rocket Jump and can kill all of them. Plus, that Riven is far behind. This should be possible!
The Nasus finished his teleport. He arrived in bot lane. Lin Feng, sitting behind his computer, let his eighth grader syndrome rear its head again. Time to lay on the pain! he shouted as his finger pressed down on the R keyFury of the Sands! His Nasus swelled in size, a sandstorm kicking up around him. He followed up by raising his staff and casting a Spirit Fire underneath the Jarvan IV and Thresh. This lowered their armour, which allowed the Tristana to deal more damage to them. Then he turned to the Vayne. Lin Feng showed a wicked grin. Hehe. Youre mine.
The Vaynes ultimate, Final Hour, was still active. Zeal had her Tumble forward, disappearing in stealth and getting far away from the Nasus that was hot on his heels. Then he shouted, Ignore the Nasus! Hook the Tristana!
A pink ward appeared on the ground. Right next to the Vayne. It revealed everything that was hidden. The invisibility cloak wrapped around the Vayne lost its power. Zeals eyes went wide. It felt like his heart stopped for a moment. Then he mumbled, barely audible, H-he brought a pink ward?
Lin Feng locked onto his target. The Vayne. Haha! I knew this pink ward would come in handy! Gimme that juicy shut down gold! Haha! He pressed down on the F key, activating Ghost. His Nasus gained increased movement speed. The Vayne was only a little further away. Almost within reach! Then the Nasus raised his free hand and cast Wither on the Vayne. The Vayne turned into an old lady. She lost her movement speed, and just squeezing the trigger from her crossbow became difficult. From there it was easy for the Nasus to catch up. He raised his staff far above his head and then slammed down, whacking a third of the Vaynes health awaySiphoning Strike!
FUCK! What is this damage! Zeal exclaimed. He slammed down on his keyboard. Heal! HEAL! His Vaynes health was restored and she gained a short burst of movement speed. But the Nasus Siphoning Strike had a short cooldown. He had to get out of the way fast. It was just that he was almost underneath Blue teams outer tower. So he started running down the lane, all the way back to his side of the map.
The Vayne had to run past the Nasus. That got him another whack of the staff and an auto attack. His health dropped again. And he still wasnt faster than the Nasus, who hit him with another auto attack. A few more seconds and Siphoning Strike would be off cooldown again. It would almost be enough to kill her. Then the Riven appeared. Her Teleport finally finished casting. Zeal had his Vayne move towards her and muttered, Please be useful for once!
She wasnt. The Riven didnt care about saving the Vayne. Saving the bounty on her head for the killing spree. All the Riven cared about was getting back into the game. And the way to do that was by picking up a kill. The Tristana was being ganked on by the Thresh and Jarvan IV. She was the easy target. This Nasus was also at full health. She couldnt kill him. So she activated her ultimate skill, Blade of the Exile! Her reforged sword lit up with green energy and she flashed past the Vayne and Nasus, then dashed forwardValor! Everything to close the distance with the Tristana! Only a few more steps. Almost in range! She pointed her sword up into the air and gave a loud shout, Ha! A green, runic energy exploded out around her, stunning all Champions it hitKi Burst!
The Riven was Platinum. Cup Noodles was a Master player. He wasnt going to get caught by a silly tactic like this. He backed off a little, evading the stun and then Rocket Jumped over the Riven and after the Vayne. Haha! Screw off! he laughed, then took aim at the Vayne. He hit her with an auto attack, and then another. Cannonballs flew through the air.
There was also still the jack-headed raid boss, hidden within the raging sandstorm. A large staff, thick and powerful, came crashing down onto the Vayne. It was another Siphoning Strike. An ability that was quickly becoming the highest damage skill in this game. Itd found its next target. Another stack was added.
Rampage!
You have been slain!
Zeal stared at his screen. Grey. He was dead. His face was drained of all blood. GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT! he then yelled. He grabbed his mouse, pulled it free, and threw it to the ground. But that wasnt enough. I. FUCKING. HATE He slammed his fist down on the table, his eyes blazing with hatred. Disbelief. T-this cant be happening But the announcers voice didnt lie. Nor did his grey screen. Or the Tristana Rocket Jumping to her next target. FUCK!
