Sun Ruinian closed his eyes for a brief moment and then shook his head. Janna is dead. No point in trying to help her. Thatll just get me killed as well. He glanced up at the river entrance and saw Rengar running into the bot lane. His Jinx was too far into the lane, and Janna was even more out of position and stunned. Sorry, friend. This is all I can do. He pressed down on the E key to activate Flame Chompers! Jinx threw down three grenades to block Rengar from running straight at Janna! She then turned around and ran towards her outer tower.

An Xins Rengar stopped chasing Janna and instead went after Jinx! She knew that she wouldnt catch up. Jinx had too much of a head start for that. But it allowed Rengar to enter the brush along the bottom side of the bot lane. While in a brush, his passive skill Unseen Predator became active. It applied a leap effect to his auto attacks, increasing their range!

Sun Ruinian grimaced and said over the teams voice chat, Dont Flash. Rengar is in the brush.

Yeah Sorry, Zhejiangs Support replied. He looked at his monitor. A bola came flying from the brush Rengar was hiding in and slowed his Janna right after the stun from Condemn wore off. Not like Im gonna run away anyway Maybe I can get the Leona to take the kill He had his Janna run at the Leona, carving a path through the minions, and stuck close to Leona in the hopes she would make the mistake of auto attacking him.

Tang Bingyaos Vayne auto attacked Janna. Each silver bolt applied a stack to Janna, and every third stack caused all three stacks to explode! The true damage ripped through Jannas health bar. Rengar and Leona were nearby, making sure she couldnt escape. And finally Tang Bingyaos Vayne landed the killing blow!

You have slain an enemy!

An Xin giggled and said over Team Shanghais voice chat, That was a nice engage, Zeng Rui! She then turned to look at Tang Bingyao and winked before adding, And a great follow up from you!

Zeng Rui glanced at An Xin and raised an eyebrow. This wasnt anything special. Typical gank. You pressured Jinx away and I got the stun on Janna. This isnt worth a single compliment! He then turned his head to look at Lin Feng and narrowed his eyes. Want to see real skills that are worth compliments? Just wait! Ill show you them!

Mhm! Thanks! Tang Bingyao replied to An Xin, smiling.

Shi Hangs mouse hand felt clammy and cold chills ran up and down his spine. How is his LeBlanc so much better than his Fizz? What is this!? He clicked around the mid lane, focusing so much on his positioning that he barely registered the caster minion in the back dying to a minion. He blinked. Shit! Hes too good! Were only five minutes in and al

Shi Hang distracted himself with his thoughts. He made a small positional error, giving Lin Feng an angle for the engage. Lin Fengs fingers were already pressing down on the buttons of his keyboard. His LeBlanc jumped on top of Shi Hangs Orianna with Distortion! Magical damage splashed out around LeBlanc as she followed up with Sigil of Malice! She projected a sigil that dealt damage and marked Orianna! And finally she cast Ethereal Chains.

FlashFLASH! Shi Hangs eyes went wide, his fingers moving purely on instinct. A flash of light wrapped around his Orianna and carried her a short distance away before dropping her back onto the Rift. Right behind her, the Ethereal Chains shot past. Shit! That was close If theyd hit Shit, Id be dead!

WOOOOOO! SICK FLASH!Thats a pro player for you right there! He actually has the reaction speed to dodge a point blank LeBlanc E!How does that even work!? Did he recognize the animation? Or was it more like expecting it was coming? I just Fuck! I wish I was that good!Haha, yeah! Hes a god! AyDeeCee wont die to such an obvious LB trick!AyDeeCee take my energy!

Shi Hang had his Orianna retreat towards her outer tower and waited for Lin Fengs LeBlanc to reactivate Distortion. He held his breath. His eyes were pried open wide. Sweat dripped down his forehead. And then he let go. LeBlanc jumped back to her original position with the second cast of Distortion. Thank god. Shi Hang had his Orianna move forward again, searching for the maximum range at which he could last hit minions without getting jumped on by LeBlanc. He then shook his head and chuckled, incredulous. What the hell got into him? His LeBlanc is insane! If hed hit those chains Shit! I need to pay more attention! I cant let him get fed on LeBlanc! He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. I need to play better.

Across the stage in Team Shanghais soundproof booth, Lin Feng sat in his gaming chair. His back was straight, his hands were moving as if by themselves, and his eyes were locked on the monitor in front of him. There were no distracting thoughts or voices. All he saw was what LeBlanc saw on the Rift. He was her. The delay between player and Champion disappeared. Struggles with his focus dissipated. Every move he made was just right. His LeBlanc, he was flawless.

The Toplaners spent the first couple minutes of the game fighting on their island in the top lane. Zhejiangs Irelia was the stronger dueler, but Zhang Haos Dr. Mundo didnt let her duel him. He sat within his outer towers range and threw Infected Cleavers at her. She didnt have ranged skills to counter this tactic. Slowly but surely, her health dropped. It all came to a head in the sixth minute. Zhang Hao judged he had enough damage, so he left his towers range and chased after Irelia! She turned around and ran away after coming to the same conclusion.

Zhejiangs Irelia ran through the top lane, dodging and weaving the Infected Cleavers that were hurled after her. But they applied a slow on hit. And after she got hit the first time, it became practically impossible to dodge the next. She was slowed and attacked. Her health dropped. Suddenly, a Flash of light wrapped her up and carried her a short distance forward!

Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and activated his own Flash! Dr. Mundo appeared right on top of the Irelia again! But in doing so, he also arrived within range of Red teams outer tower. Two more hits. Thats all I need! Ive got enough health for this! COME ON! He charged forward! Q! Dr. Mundo hurled another Infected Cleaver at Irelia!

Zhejiangs Toplaner grinned. This is my tower! Idiot! He had his Irelia dash at Zhang Haos Dr. Mundo with Bladesurge and then activated Equilibrium Strike! Irelia raised her blades high above her head and hacked down onto Dr. Mundo! It dealt a ton of damage, and more importantly stunned him! Eat that! He grinned brighter when the first energy shot fired from the outer tower and slammed into Dr. Mundo! Stupid cleaver throwing son of a bitch!

Irelia was right on top of Zhang Haos Dr. Mundo, trying to kill him before the stun wore off. But Dr. Mundo was a Champion with a vast pool of health. The stun broke and he still had a good bit of health remaining. Zhang Haos Dr. Mundo struck out with an auto attack and then threw a final Infected Cleaver! Shit! I gotta get outta he

You have slain an enemy!You have been slain!

Ay, hot damn! So close! Zhang Hao complained to himself, annoyed. But then he started grinning. But I got the kill! Fuck yeah! Shitty B grade player! Get your ass kicked by my awesome C+++ skills! Ill just keep throwing cleavers at you! See how youre gonna like this game!

Time to come mid for a gank, Mao, Shi Hang ordered over Zhejiang Universitys voice chat. He glanced at the game clock. Almost 7 minutes in. Were both Level 6. If LeBlanc jumps on me, she has the damage to kill me. Maple knows. Of course he does! So hes going to jump on me and try to kill me. Shi Hang smiled and looked at his minimap, where he saw Maokai making his way to the brush right above the mid lane. Thats why we need to be ready for it. Hell go in and then were gonna turn it around! All we need is to lock him down before he gets his full combo off on me!

The Blue and Red minion waves were fighting in the middle of the lane. Shi Hangs Orianna walked up to last hit a melee minion. This was the exact move Lin Feng had been waiting for. He narrowed his eyes and moved his mouse over her. He then pressed down on the W key followed right away by the R key! LeBlanc distorted time and space to jump forward, landing in the middle of the minion wave! She then Mimicked Distortion for another large jump and landed on top of Orianna! Massive splash damage ruptured Oriannas health!

LeBlanc is going in! SHES GOING IN FOR THE KILL! Silent Reed cried out into her microphone. She leaned forward and shouted, BUT ITS A BAIT FROM SHI HANG! A BAIT! LOOK AT MAOKAI! She briefly paused to catch her breath before adding, AND RENGAR! RENGAR IS ALSO INCOMING!

Shi Hang had expected the engage by Lin Fengs LeBlanc. He cast Command: Protect on himself right away! Oriannas Ball flew back to her side and formed a protective shield around her! She followed up with her ultimate skill! Command: Shockwave! A powerful electromagnetic storm started raging around her Ball! It swept out and pulled everything within the immediate vicinity towards her! All the while, Zhejiangs Maokai had run into the mid lane and cast Twisting Advance! He contorted into a mass of moving roots and dashed at LeBlanc!

Lin Feng smiled. I win. He cast Ignite on Orianna before activating the second half of Distortion. LeBlanc blinked away, back to the spot from which shed cast the original skill. The electromagnetic storm from Oriannas ultimate missed her entirely, while Maokai kept flying after her all the way towards Blue Teams outer tower.

Shit! Shi Hangs eye twitched. The gank was a failure. He looked at his Orianna. Her health bar was down below half and the unquenchable flames from Ignite were whittling that down further. I cant cha The eyes of a predator opened above his Oriannas head. Rengar!? RENGAR!

An Xins Rengar had turned invisible with Thrill of the Hunt! His ferocity stacks built up to the max, empowering his next skill! When he got close to Orianna, he activated Savagery and leapt out from the shadows at her! He followed up by throwing a Bola and then hacking into Orianna with an empowered Savagery! She was slowed and her health bar dropped, while Rengars attack speed increased! He attacked her with his blade and finished with a loud Battle Roar! A soundwave slammed into Orianna and killed her!

You have slain an enemy!

A KILL! RENGAR DID IT! Silent Reed screamed into her microphone. She turned to look at the audience and screamed, WOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!WOOT WOOT! BUNBUN RULES!SWEET MOTHER! THAT RENGAR DAMAGE!SICK PLAY! JEEEEEEEE!Holy sweet damn! INSAAAAAANE!RENGAL DOIN IT! LOOOOOOOOL!THEY SMACKIN THE PRO! FUCKING UNREAL!

Rollfire stared at the large LCD screen with his eyes and mouth wide open, dazed. How? That What? That speed! He shook his head and used his hand to close his mouth. What the hell happened with Team Shanghais Jungler? Since when is she that good? She linked that perfectly! Its like she read that LeBlancs mind for a gank! And now theyve got the Maokai completely out of position too FUCK! FUCKFUCK FUCK FUCK!

Lin Fengs LeBlanc was hit by Maokais Twisting Advance. She was locked down for a brief moment as Maokai returned back to his original form. And then she broke free. Lin Feng smiled, activating both Sigil of Malice and Ethereal Chains! His LeBlanc waved her staff and placed the sigil on Maokai, after which a set of chains shot out from her and wrapped around him! They set off the sigil for a burst of damage and slowed him!

Zhejiangs Maokai tried to run away, but couldnt open up enough distance before the secondary effect from Ethereal Chains activated. The chains had wrapped completely around him and locked him to the ground! LeBlanc cast magic at him from behind. And right in front of him, standing between him and Red Teams outer tower, was An Xins Rengar!

Lin Fengs LeBlanc and An Xins Rengar tore through Maokais health! He didnt have Flash up and no other abilities off cooldown that could help him escape. Even with his large health pool, there was nothing he could do. It was eventually Lin Fengs LeBlanc who landed the killing blow with a Sigil of Malice.

You have slain an enemy!

Thats the lead! Lin Feng said over the teams voice chat, satisfied. He then nodded at An Xin and added, Great Rengar mechanics! Good job!

An Xin smiled and replied, Like I need you to tell me. My Rengar has always been great!

Lin Feng scratched his nose and glanced at An Xin. Then he chuckled. Maybe she was just not in the right headspace the last two games. This is the BunBun I know! Shes back! This is great! He looked back at his monitor, and more specifically at the minimap. We should take Dragon, he said over the teams voice chat.

Alright, well push bot and come, Zeng Rui replied.

An Xin giggled and concluded, Great! This Dragon is ours then!

The players from Zhejiang University were visibly upset. The third game of this best of five series had started terribly with an early kill for An Xins Rengar. And from there, she went on to get an assist in the bot lane and now a kill plus an assist in the mid lane! The game wasnt even 8 minutes in and she was already sitting on a KDA of 2/0/2!

Zhejiangs Jungler punched his desk and complained over the teams voice chat, When did their Jungler learn to jungle!? She was terrible in the first two games? What the hell happened to her!?

I dont know. We need to focus, Sun Ruinian replied. He then glanced at Shi Hang and frowned. She even got the jump on him? How?

Shi Hang was staring at his monitor. At the dull grey colours. Their coordination has really improved No, no. Its not that. Its more that Its more that shes suddenly gotten a lot better! The way shes playing right now, I was already dead when those eyes popped up! This is actually kind of worrying He knitted his brows and opened the game scoreboard. Shes 2/0/2. If she gets anymore fed, shell snowball the entire game! Were gonna lose if it goes on like this!

Alright guys, playtime is over, Shi Hang said over the teams voice chat. He continued, First things first. Pink wards. Buy them, lots of them. We need to know where that Rengar is at all times. Then He turned his head to look at his Toplaner. ... Im coming for a gank together with Maokai. I need you to start shoving top lane. Be ready to towerdive that Mundo. He finally turned to look at Sun Ruinian and paused. Ive taught you everything. I know how good you are. And youre good enough to carry this. Ill leave the bot lane to you. He smiled and concluded, Do what you need to do in bot. Dont let the Vayne scale.

At 7:40 minutes, Zhejiangs Irelia finished pushing the top lane. A big Red minion wave had gathered in front of Blue teams outer tower and was now pushing into its range. She followed behind them and focused her attention on auto attacking the tower, ignoring Dr. Mundo. This threw Zhang Hao completely off. He was so confused that he threw an Infected Cleaver at her, instead of considering the possibility of a gank happening.

Shi Hangs Orianna and Zhejiangs Maokai walked into the top lane from the Blue teams Jungle. They were right behind Zhang Haos Dr. Mundo. Maokai locked onto him with Twisting Advance. He contorted to a large root and locked Dr. Mundo down! Shi Hang had his Oriannas Ball travel with Maokai and activated her ultimate, Command: Shockwave, to displace Dr. Mundo!

The damage quickly piled up. Zhang Hao tried to ward off the gank, tried to get at least a kill back, but he was Dr. Mundo. He didnt deal very much damage, and he hadnt bought nearly enough defensive items to tank the assault from three enemy Champions.

Shi Hang had his Oriannas Ball attack Dr. Mundo, while ordering over the teams voice chat, Back away, Mao. Weve got this.

Zhejiang Universitys Maokai ran towards the edge of the outer towers range right as another energy shot hit him. The damage was negligible to his large health pool. He then waited for a brief moment, glancing back to see Shi Hangs Orianna and the Irelia destroying Dr. Mundos health bar, before running out of the towers range. Good gank, guys! he said over the teams voice chat.

An ally has slain a Champion!

Push the tower, Shi Hang ordered, smiling. Good! Were winning top from here on out! He looked at his minimap and nodded, satisfied. Sun Ruinian will take care of the bot lane as well! He panned his camera over the mid lane, and paused. He gritted his teeth and felt his stomach twist into a knot. That just leaves the mess in mid. What the fuck did I think not banning LeBlanc? I know hes a monster on her! Its fucking unfair that someone can be that good on a Champion! Riot should ban him from playing her! He shook his head. I shouldve seen it coming. And now Ill have to find a way around it. Were gonna play around her. Make her irrelevant, just like the wards will make Rengar useless! Yeah, thats it. We just gotta stay the hell away from his LeBlanc! And the Rengar...
