Chapter 227: It’s All About Tang Bingyao

Oh, youre fighting! Lin Feng shouted over High School 13s voice chat. Awesome! Im coming in hot! His Lulu was in the mid lane, which wasnt all that far from the Dragon pit where Vayne and Kalista were fighting. He sped down the river towards the fight, cheering Tang Bingyao on for the engage she found on the Kalista.

Shanghai High School and High School 13s Toplaners both retreated back to their outer towers. They had Teleport precisely for these kinds of situations. The Gragas teleported to a ward at the Red teams Blue Buff Camp. He started channeling half a second earlier than Irelia, who teleported to a ward at the river entrance in the bot lane.

Lin Fengs Lulu caught up to Vayne. The Leona had just missed two of her skillshots, while Kalista was still pinned against the wall. He sent Pix over to aid the Vayne in her attacksHelp, Pix! Then he threw a Glitterlance at Kalista!

Tang Bingyao had her Vayne continue auto attacking the Kalista. Two silver rings appeared around Kalista. She was one auto attack from dying when the Gragas appeared from the Red teams Jungle. He Body Slammed towards Vayne in a desperate attempt to save Kalista. But Tang Bingyao had kept Tumble just for this. Her Vayne dodged the Body Slam and fired an empowered silver bolt at Kalista.

You have slain an enemy!

Tang Bingyao smiled. I got the kill! Then she focused back on the fight. Shanghai High School had four champions left alive, two of whom were trying to attack her. Well, one. Shed seen Lin Feng cast Whimsy on the Gragas, polymorphing him into a useless critter. Why is the Leona sticking to the Gragas? Hmm, probably waiting for the Yasuo and Lee Sin to arrive. Where are they?

Chen Zes Irelia had arrived at the Dragon pit right around the same time the Gragas had. Hed first ran towards Kalista, but she died too quickly. So he turned towards the little critter Gragas and dashed at him with Bladesurge. Then she struck out hard with her blades and stunned himEquilibrium Strike!

Zeng Ruis Leona had little in terms of damage and hed already used most of his crowd control skills. He looked at his minimap and cursed. The Lee Sin and Yasuo were both running over from the base, where theyd gone to buy some wards in preparation for the Dragon. His two teammates were too far away from the fight, he needed to buy them more time. His Leona only had one more crowd control skill available, which was her ultimate skill. I need to at least hit the Vayne.

Zeng Rui shouted over his teams voice chat, Get ready to pull back when I stun that Vayne! Then he pushed down on the R keySolar Flare! He pointed his sword up into the sky and called down a beam of solar energy. The incredibly powerful force came quickly, smashing down onto the Vayne and Lulu. Stunned!

An Xins Nami was also late to the fight because shed returned to the base to buy wards. But unlike the Lee Sin and Yasuo, she was already on her way back towards the bot lane when the fight broke out. She arrived right as Leona's Solar Flare came down. Then she watched Leona and Gragas running away. Trying to escape? Watch this. She activated her Namis ultimate, calling forth a Tidal Wave that came surging after the Leona and Gragas!

The two champions from Shanghai High School were caught in the Jungle entrance. There was nowhere to escape to. The water towered over them and then came crashing down, knocking them down and then up into the air!

The Vayne and Lulu broke free from the stun. They joined Chen Zes Irelia in chasing after the Gragas and focusing their firepower on him. The Leona was a Support whod used all her skills. They could ignore her for now. Blades cut the Gragas, silver bolts struck him, and magical glitter stuck to him. His health disappeared.

Double kill!

Tang Bingyao was so focused that she didnt even hear the voice announcer. Her last attack on the Gragas was a silver bolt empowered by Tumble. She had done this not only for the extra damage, but also to get an angle on the Leona. She took the large crossbow from her back and fired. A large, heavy bolt struck the Leona and pinned her to the Jungle wall behind her.

Shanghai High Schools Lee Sin and Yasuo finally arrived to the fight. They were about to jump in and help Zeng Ruis Leona escape, when their team captains voice sounded out over the teams voice chat, Back, you idiots! Theyre with five! Dont give them any more kills!

Zeng Rui stared at his screen, frustrated. All my skills are on cooldown. If they go in, its no different from a 2vs5. Wed just be feeding that Vayne even more kills! Dammit! He gritted his teeth as he watched one last silver bolt fly at his Leona.

Triple kill!

High School 13s students in the audience were stamping their feet on the ground and waving their arms over their heads. They were screaming about how Tang Bingyao had picked up a triple kill, and they were shouting about how they were only half a step away from winning the tournament! The students whod been given the large posters at the start of the series proudly held them up again.

HIGH SCHOOL 13, CHAMPIONS!

Westwind had been play-by-play shoutcasting the entire fight. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and screamed into his microphone, HIGH SCHOOL 13! WOOOOO! Look at their students! Theyre certain of it! Theyre going to be the Champions of Shanghai! And man, I cant blame them. Just look at that Vayne! Shes 6/1/2! I dont know how Shanghai High School plans on killing her. Impossible if you ask me!

Not impossible, Silent Reed disagreed. She looked at the large screen, which showed High School 13 taking the second Dragon of the game. Then a graph appeared at the bottom of the screen showing the stats of the two teams. High School 13 was 4,000 gold ahead. You see that gold difference, West? Thats all on the Vayne. High School 13 is pumping all their resources into her. Shanghai High School can win this. They just have to shut her down.

You say that like its an easy thing to do! Westwind argued. Did we just watch the same fight? Or the one before that? Shanghai High School has been trying to shut the Vayne down all game! But look at her score! 6/1/2! Shes unstoppable!

Silent Reed smiled. Awesome work, girls! Then she said, The Vayne is doing really good. And I really want to see the two girls from High School 13 winning. But lets be real here, West. If. And this is a very big if, Shanghai High School can instagib the Vayne, theyll win this game. Its doable. High School 13 cant get complacent.

Fair enough, fair enough, Westwind agreed. This game is still wide open! Shanghai High School has some incredible potential to pick off a target and burst them down. They just need to have their Gragas or Lee Sin working together with the Yasuo. Maybe have the Leona help with her crowd control for full effect. And then they also cant take too much damage from the rest of High School 13s team. And, and Theres a lot of things that have to fall perfectly in place for them.

Zeng Rui looked over the edge of his screen at the audience. He could feel the vibrations from their jumping, which was incredibly distracting. Then he glanced sideways at his teammates. They looked lost. Cant blame them. Were falling pretty far behind. But its not over yet. We still have a chance. Just have to kill that Vayne. He nodded and said over the teams voice chat, Keep your focus. Were one good fight from winning this.

Lin Feng grinned and said over the teams voice chat, That was awesome! But we gotta play safe now! Tang Tang doesnt have her Flash! He looked over at Tang Bingyao sitting next to him and nodded at her. Then he continued, Me and BunBun will protect you. Chen Ze and Liu Yue, you two dive Shanghai High Schools backline. Time to win this!

Tang Bingyao nodded and said, Ok.

An Xin smiled and suggested over the teams voice chat, Tang Tang still has a few minutes before her Flash is up again. Well wait for it to come off cooldown before we start another teamfight. Sounds good, guys?

An Xin had made it sound like a suggestion, but the others all took it as an order. They held back on the aggression and slowed down the pace of the game. Shanghai High School was more than happy with this arrangement. They would use every extra second to help their Gragas and Yasuo scale.

There wasnt a whole lot that happened over the next several minutes. Both teams focused on farming minions and jungle camps, and staying far away from each other. But that didnt mean they were blind to good gank opportunities. Shanghai High School found two of them. The first happened in the top lane, where Chen Zes Irelia got a little too comfortable farming under her tower. Lee Sin suddenly appeared behind her and roundhouse kicked her towards the Gragas, who followed up with his own ultimate. The Explosive Cask knocked Irelia halfway across the lane toward the Red teams outer tower.

You have slain an enemy!

The second kill happened in the bot lane. Shanghai High Schools Yasuo roamed down from mid, evading the wards High School 13 had dropped down, and burst into the lane. Tang Bingyao and An Xin were warned by Lin Feng only seconds before. But the Leona was already engaging. She tried to hit Tang Bingyao with a solar projection of her swordZenith Blade! But An Xin had her Nami body block for the Vayne. Tang Bingyao managed to escape on the back of that, but An Xin wasnt so lucky.

You have slain an enemy!

Two kills went to Shanghai High School, but that didnt change much for the overall game. Tang Bingyao was still strong and continuing to get stronger. But that didnt mean High School 13 could keep giving away kills. They started playing more carefully, waiting for the third Dragon to spawn. Were going to force the next teamfight, An Xin said over the teams voice chat.

At 23 minutes, the third Dragon was about to spawn. Shanghai High School arrived at the Dragon pit far in advance to set up a wall of vision. They couldnt back down from this teamfight. High School 13 absolutely couldnt be allowed to get a third dragon. Plus, they finally felt strong enough to challenge High School 13 in a teamfight. Yasuo and Gragas had both picked up kills in the last couple of minutes and upgraded their items with the extra gold. If they got the pick on Vayne, they could burst her down.

Its about to go down! Westwind shouted into his microphone. Shanghai High School has been clawing their way back into this game! Gragas and Yasuo have the damage to one-shot Vayne!

Silent Reed giggled and said, What youre saying is that Shanghai High School is looking for the engage, right West? They need to get the pick on Vayne and win the teamfight on the back of that.

Westwind nodded and replied, Exactly! And this is going to be it as well! Whoever wins this teamfight will probably go on to win the game! Its do or die! Can High School 13 protect their Vayne for long enough? Or will Shanghai High School get the pick they need to finally turn this game around? They could force a potential Game 5! How exciting would that be!

The High School 13 students in the audience were shifting around on their seats, unable to contain their worries, nerves, and excitement. They talked amongst each other about everything the casters were saying, including remarks about their school winning the tournament.

Just imagine, one High School 13 student said to his friends sitting next to him. If they win this, were the Champions! We might actually win!

Might? Were going to win! one of his friends responded.

But what if they catch Tang Tang? Didnt the casters just say how

No! Dont say it! Positive thoughts only! Were going to win this! Our team can do this! Mark my words, were going to become the best esports school in Shanghai!

I hope so, I really do

Oh, shut up with your stupid pessimism! GO HIGH SCHOOL 13! YOU CAN DO IT, TANG TANG!

Right! GO TANG TANG! WOOOOO!

HIGH SCHOOL 13, CHAMPIONS OF SHANGHAI!
