Between the first game and the start of the second game, Team Beijing looked like a terrible team. It started to seem like luck was the biggest factor that saw them make it to the Finals of the Winter Collegiate Cup. But nothing was less true than that. They had a team full of incredibly talented players, most of whom were better than their counterparts on Team Shanghai. This was most evident in the top lane and to a lesser extent in the bot lane. But even Team Beijings Jungler could give An Xin a run for her money in every aspect of the game except for map awareness. It was only Yu Ping in the mid lane who was vastly outclassed by Lin Feng.

Yu Ping started to realise that the biggest factor holding Team Beijing back in their series against Team Shanghai was him. He wanted to duel Lin Feng and beat him. But he couldnt; he wasnt good enough. He gritted his teeth and looked around the map. I need to accept that I cant beat him. Hes on Twisted Fate, so hes not even looking to beat me either. Fine. Yep. Focus. Top lane I cant do much there. Mundo is holding his own. They need to gank him and even that is kind of risky. Hell hold his own. What about bot Hmm That girl is good, but were better. If we can get a few kills on her and then use that strength to get Mundo a kill or two, then it doesnt matter how strong Twisted Fate is. He grimaced and closed his eyes briefly. We need to play around him. I need to put my ego aside for a moment and stop tunneling. The way to win this game is to play around Twisted Fate, so lets do that!

Yu Ping opened his eyes and looked at the top right corner of the screen. 12 minutes in. Theyre going to gank again soon. Worst case, we either countergank or find a gank in the other lane. Best case, they dont gank. He nodded at himself and said over the teams voice chat, Were making a play bot. Ping me the wards, Nidalee.

Team Beijings Jungler pinged the red wards hed spotted in the river and Zhang Hongyi pinged those around the bot lane and wrote their timers down in the game chat. Yu Ping pretended like he was recalling back to base, and then snuck away from the mid lane and started making his way to the bot lane. He found a part of himself hed lost during the first game. A calmness and clarity of his mind. A rhythm that matched his style. His Ahri danced through the river and arrived in the bot lane without Team Shanghai noticing it until it was already far too late.

TANG TANG! Zeng Rui yelled over the teams voice chat. He pinged the yellow retreat sign and continued, AHRI! He then Flashed away and tossed his lantern at Tang Bingyaos Sivir.

Zhang Hongyi smiled when he saw the panicked reaction from Zeng Ruis Thresh. His fingers were already gliding across his keyboard, activating skills. A mottled flash of light sucked his Janna from Summoners Rift and spit her back out on the far side of Tang Bingyaos Sivir. Janna then surrounded herself in a magical storm and threw Sivir away from Threshs Lantern and towards Blue teams outer tower!

This displacement from Monsoon left Tang Bingyao briefly incapable of activating skills. Yu Ping used this opportunity to dash at her with Spirit Rush and Charm her. All the while, Ezreal attacked her with his skills and auto attacks. The combination of damage brought Sivirs health down to the last few percentages when the effects from Charm finally wore off. Tang Bingyao still tried to run, but Yu Pings Ahri dashed after her with Spirit Rush.

You have slain an enemy!

Cherry cheered into her microphone, WOOOOOOO!

FourEyesChan smiled and added, Thats more like it! Lets go Team Beijing!

Fucking finally! Weve got a game on our hands!WOOOOOO!More of this please! Show them Shanghai Suckers who the best team is!BEIJING RUUUUUULES!WHOOP DEE DOODLE DOO!

Zhang Hongyi watched Zeng Ruis Thresh escaping towards the Red Teams Outer Tower and clenched his fist, smiling. Heck yeah! he exclaimed. He looked around at his teammates in the soundproof booth and continued, Heck yeah! We did it, boys! Fucking got the better of that piece of shit Zeng Rui! Lets push this lane and destroy his shitty tower!

Dont, Yu Ping cut in. He breathed in and smiled, then nodded and said, Good job. We got the kill. But we dont need to take the tower so quickly. Just freeze the lane and I'll gank again in a few minutes with Nidalee.

Zhang Hongyi chuckled and replied, Sure. That also works. He looked at his screen, more specifically at Sivirs corpse, and added, We kill her one more time and this game is ours. Doesnt matter what Twisted Fate and Nocturne do, when we get their bot and top down, we win.

Zeng Rui waited underneath the Red Teams Outer Tower for Tang Bingyao to return to the lane. In that time, he was forced to watch Team Beijing freeze the minion waves just outside of Blue teams outer tower. Thats not great, he mumbled over the teams voice chat. Theyve got the lead and were falling behind here.

Tang Bingyao chewed on her lips, her heart slamming high up in her chest. I wont fall behind! I wont let that happen again! This Finals is going to be mine! Game 1 and now Game 2! Mhm! But we need to break that freeze. The bitter taste of iron filled her mouth from biting on her lips too much and too hard, but she ignored it. Cant we just break it? We can try! She nodded and said, Lets break their freeze.

Zeng Rui shook his head and replied, We cant. Theyll gank us the moment we pass the halfway point of the lane. Lets stay back and take the Gromp Camp. He panned his camera towards the top lane and breathed out through his mouth. Their Mundo is staying even with Zhang Haos Irelia too

Zhang Hao grimaced and said, Yeah, thats my bad. Sorry, guys, Im really trying here. Its just I cant really push because Im afraid of the Nidalee and when you dont push against a Mundo, he can just heal himself back up with his ultimate Its really annoying!

An Xin looked at Zhang Hao and smiled. She said, Dont worry about it. Its fine. Actually, you know what? The lane is going to push your way anyway. How about you let it push and then freeze it outside of your Outer Tower? When Mundo pushes, Ill gank.

Lin Feng ruffled his hair and mumbled, Sounds like you guys have got it covered. Guess Ill just keep farming in mid then.

At 14 minutes, Yu Ping had his Ahri recall to the fountain. He opened the shop and bought her her next item upgrade, then moved his camera across Summoners Rift while having his Ahri run towards the bot lane. Hmm, I think its about time Top is okay and Twisted Fate is just farming in mid Yeah. He pinged on the bot lane and said over the teams voice chat, Come, Nid. Were ganking bot.

Team Beijings Jungler nodded and replied, On it!

Top, top! Team Beijings Toplaner suddenly shouted. He pinged on the top lane and continued, Nocturne is here! Gank bot now! She cant get to bot that fast! Her ultimate cant reach that far yet!

Yu Ping scrunched his nose briefly and then laughed. He replied, Well, thats perfect! Now we dont have to worry about her either! Get that gank going! Im almost there!

Zhang Hongyi chuckled and said, The trash Thresh dont have Flash! He then had his Janna float towards Zeng Ruis Thresh and cast Zephyr on him! Jannas elemental hit Thresh and slowed him!

Tang Bingyaos Sivir threw her Boomerang Blade at Janna in retaliation and prepared to follow up on that, but she was stopped by Zeng Rui who cried out, TANG TANG! RUN! NIDALEE IS HERE! She glanced at her minimap and her eyes grew round and wide. Mnh-mnh! I dont wanna retreat! But She chewed on her lips and then activated her ultimate skill. On the Run granted Sivir and nearby allies a massive movement speed boost. She then said over the teams voice chat, Come!

Im trying, Zeng Rui replied through gritted teeth. The slow from Zephyr had thrown him off just enough to confuse him. A Howling Gale was flying at him right now. He tried to sidestep it with the movement speed boost from Sivir, but he was too slow. The strong winds lifted his Thresh off his feet and knocked him up into the air! Fuck, no!

Zhang Hongyi smiled, enjoying every second of knocking Zeng Rui up. He shouted over the teams voice chat, Hes got no Flash! KILL HIM!

Team Beijings Jungler arrived in the bot lane and cast Javelin Toss! She then changed to cougar form while the javelin flew towards Zeng Ruis Thresh! Next to her, Team Beijings Ezreal fired auto attacks and skills at Thresh! And from behind Blue teams outer tower, Yu Pings Ahri also arrived in the bot lane! They combined their damage, most of it focused on Zeng Ruis Thresh and a small portion on Tang Bingyaos Sivir.

Zeng Rui forgot to breathe. He pursed his lips in frustration and clicked with far too much power on his mouse. Im dead! Im already dead, Tang Tang! Stop trying to save me! He ordered, Tang Tang, get out! Just back away! Get to safety! Theres no value in both of us dying here!

We can both get out alive, Tang Bingyao mumbled, defiant. She looked at the fight and where the players from Team Beijing were. Ahri was still too far away and Nidalee would catch up soon. Ezreal was the only one who was really on top of them. We can still get out. Mhm! Both of us!

We cant! Zeng Rui argued. GET OUT! He then pressed on his R key to activate The Box! Five spectral walls rose up around Zeng Ruis Thresh, the sounds of howling ghosts coming from them. Two walls broke down when Ezreal and Janna ran into them. It slowed them and gave Tang Bingyao the space she needed to escape. He shouted, Please! Cant you see Im dead? RUN!

Tang Bingyao shook her head and said, We can both

An ally has been slain.

Ezreals ultimate skill was a powerful barrage of energy missiles called Trueshot Barrage. The missiles had shot through Zeng Ruis Thresh and killed him. They then continued and smashed through Tang Bingyaos Sivir! Sivirs health dropped down to below half.

Now they get you too, Zeng Rui said with a loud sigh.

No they wont! Lin Feng interjected. He grinned and theatrically lifted his left finger before pressing down on the R key. He continued, Im finally in range! Im coming down! Destiny! All-seeing eyes appeared above the heads of all five Champions from Team Beijing.

Su Xue sat behind her computer, chewing on her nails and mumbling, Come on, Tang Tang. You can do this. If anyone can, you can! Come on, girl! Youve got this! I believe in you. We all be She jumped up from her gaming chair when Lin Feng activated his ultimate and screamed, HES COMING! LIN FENG IS COMING IN WITH HIS TWISTED FATE! LETS GOOOOOOOO!

GO LIL BRO!tangtangs at her outer tower! theyre gonna have to towerdive to kill her!!!lil bro can get them both ez EAZYYYYYYYKILL THEM BEFORE AHRIS THERE PLEASEEEEEEIF ANYONE CAN, LIL BRO CANNNNNN!!!!!!GIMME THE C! GIMME THE U--- I MEAN O!!!!we can dooo thizzzzzzzomgomgomg CARE FOR AHRI! CARE FOR AHRI!

Tang Bingyaos Sivir arrived underneath her outer tower. But because shed allowed Team Beijing to keep chasing her, they didnt give up. They kept pressing, even when Lin Feng activated his ultimate skill. Team Beijings Nidalee, with a shield from Janna, tanked the energy shots from Read teams outer tower. Towers could only attack one Champion at a time, allowing Ezreal to get in range and keep dealing damage without taking any.

Lin Feng grinned and shouted, ALMOST THERE! He clicked next to the outer tower. A deck of cards spread on the ground and the magic of the cards channeled into a gate that opened above it. Twisted Fate stepped from it into the bot lane holding a Gold Card. Now, lets kill Ezreal first, Lin Feng mumbled. He had Twisted Fate move towards Ezreal, then suddenly slammed on his S key and continued by stepping to the side.

FourEyesChans eyes grew round and wide. He muttered, Wow!

Cherry nodded slowly, speechless.

Yu Pings Ahri had dashed in with Spirit Rush and cast Charm at Lin Fengs Twisted Fate! But before shed even cast it, Lin Feng had already started dodging it, as if he knew it was coming and where it was coming. After dodging the Charm, he ran at Ezreal again and threw the Gold Card! It stunned Ezreal on top of dealing a ton of damage!

FourEyesChan adjusted his glasses and said into his microphone, Wow! Just Wow! He just Wow!

Lin Feng smiled when he saw Tang Bingyao throw boomerangs at Ezreal and then focused on his own Champion again. He pressed the Q key and cast Wild Cards! Twisted Fate threw a cone of cards that cut through Ezreal in the middle and Ahri and Janna on the sides! Only Nidalee from Team Beijing managed to dodge it by Flashing away. He then started throwing auto attacks at Ezreal. The first three attacks did minimal damage because he was an ability power Champion and his damage came from his skills. But the fourth card triggered Stacked Deck, a skill that added a magical damage property to his next card!

You have slain an enemy!
