The players from Flash felt numb. They stared at their screens. Feared. The Hecarim. Roundy Rounds Hecarim had baited them into a five man ultimate. His spectral riders had feared all five of their Champions! The screams from the 12,500 fans in the arena hit their eardrums, making it all the more painful. Chris especially felt his heart drop. This was the second time this game that hed been baited by Roundy Round. Hed fallen for it both times. T-this cant be he mumbled.
On the caster desk, Qinghe couldnt hold his excitement back any longer. Look! Look! Its Orianna and RekSai! Theyre finally there to help God Roundy! They can with this! KG can with this! Come on, KG, get that ace! ACE FLASH! ACE FLASH!
The players on Flash saw the health on their Champions drop. Lee Sin especially. He was the only one who could keep up with the Tristana Rocket Jumping after the Hecarim by dashing to herSafeguard! Then, as both of them were under KGs outer tower and he got tower aggro, Hecarim hit them with Onslaught of Shadows. The tower fired off an energy shot at him. A second one followed right after and hit him before the fear broke.
Tian Tian was in the middle of Flashs team after using Onslaught of Shadows. He turned around. The Tristana was walking aimlessly under his outer tower. He activated Devastating Charge. Hecarim gained increased movement speed and could walk through units. He charged through the Riven and Lee Sin. Then he kicked the Tristana with his hooves, knocking her back into his outer tower.
The voice chat from KG had been quiet during the games last week. It wasnt all that different at the start of this game, safe for when Tian Tian got the solo kill on the Riven. But right now it finally sprung back to life. Tian Tians teammates were showering him with compliments.
Nice job Roundy!
You roll over em, Roundyboy!
We can win this fight! Focus, guys!
Lets do this!
The RekSai had burrowed underground for the increased movement speed as she rushed down to the fight in bottom lane. She arrived just as the players from Flash broke free from the fear. Three of them were closely huddled together. She flashed towards them and Unburrowed, knocking them airborne! One of them was Lee Sin. His health was almost zero. RekSai sunk her teeth into himFurious Bite!and killed him.
An enemy has been slain!
The Orianna arrived in the river entrance to bot lane. The players from Flash were still disorganized, and RekSai stood in the middle of them. This was Oriannas chance to make a move. She flashed forward and used Command: Protect to attach her Ball to RekSai. The Tristana tried to run out of tower range, but ran straight towards the RekSai Now! Now! Now! The Orianna watched her Ball move until it attached to the RekSai and activated her ultimateCommand: Shockwave!
The millions of Chinese spectators all held their breaths. Their eyes were glued onto their screens. This was it! The moment when KG could win the fight! Even the casters werent really casting. Only Stone was talking and he kept repeating the same words over and over again. Come on. Come on. Come on.
A powerful electromagnetic shockwave erupted from Oriannas Ball. It swept out into the surroundings before sucking everything towards it! The Tristana had walked right into its range, while the other members from Flash were also in range. They were all pulled in and lost a lot of health! Then the Orianna used Command: Dissonance to release a pulse of energy that also dealt a lot of damage. The four players from Flash suddenly had only a fifth of their health remaining at most.
It was beautiful to watch, that synergy and combo by Orianna and RekSai! They did exactly what the fans expected of them! The millions of people watching the Chinese stream went wild! This wasnt just a 3,000 ELO Orianna ultimate, this was also the move that won KG the fight! It might even be the catalyst to them winning the entire game!
Did you see that ori ult? SO SICK!!!
the rek-ori wombooo commboooo!!!!1!!!
KG GOT THIS! LEZ WIN THE GAMEEEEE
Orianna is the best Orianna in the world!
Tian Tian chased after the Tristana. After she got caught by the Orianna ultimate, her health dropped into the single digits. All he had to do was attack her one last time with an auto attack. His polearm swept across her body.
An enemy has been slain!
Chris had a little bit more health left on his Riven than the Tristana had. But it still wasnt anywhere near enough to stop Tian Tian. Tian Tian had his Hecarim cleave the Riven with his polearmRampage!and then hit her with a last auto attack. For the second time this game, hed killed the Riven.
Double kill!
Tian Tians screen was flashing red and his Hecarim had less than 10% of his health remaining. There were still the Alistar and Kassadin alive on Flashs team. The Kassadin fired an orb of void energy at the RekSaiNull Sphere! He followed up with a Force Pulse, swiping his blade and firing off excess energy in a cone in front of him. It hit Tian Tians Hecarim, slowing him and dropping his health to less than 1%. Then a purple rift appeared out of nowhere and Kassadin disappeared. This was the animation for Riftwalk! If this skill hit the Hecarim, he would die! Tian Tian smashed down on his D key to flash away. His Hecarim disappeared from the exact spot where the Kassadin arrived. Hed gotten out just in time! With another Devastating Charge, he ran down the lane all the way back to his inner tower.
The RekSai used Queens Wrath to empower her basic attacks, then attacked the Kassadin with her claws. His health dropped to almost zero. The Orianna also threw an auto attack at the Kassadin and then commanded her Ball to attack! The Ball moved to the Kassadin and hit him. It was just enough to kill him. All the while, the Alistar tried to run away. Hed gotten halfway down the lane when Orianna and RekSai caught up to him. And between the two of them, they had enough damage to kill him before he could reach his outer tower. The Orianna dealt the last attack.
Double kill!
Aced!
Millions of people were watching the Chinese live broadcast of Worlds. They watched KG turn a terrible situation around! Tian Tian had single-handedly helped his team win this teamfight! KG had a chance at winning this game! Messages flooded into the chat. Everyone had an opinion on the fight and wanted to explain just how good God Roundy was. As for the three shoutcasters, they were speechless and sat there staring at the screen. Qinghe then turned to the other two, a voice in his ear reminding him he had to cast. WOW! KG has come out big! That play was insane, you guys!
I cant believe he turned that fight around! They even aced Flash!
I thought for sure Orianna and RekSai were too far away. But they never gave up and arrived in time to clean up the fight! Props to them!
However, I think we need to stand still for a second and look again at what God Roundy did. That was something special, guys. A five man Hecarim ultimate. He hit a five man Hecarim ultimate! Have we ever seen this happen before at Worlds? Or even in competitive play? I dont think so. I know I havent.
For all of you watching at home. This is one of those moments youre going to tell your children about. I think this play will be one of the highest skill plays well ever see in the game! God Roundy just made himself a legend! Oh my god, that was a five man Hecarim ultimate!
Are we going to start calling it a Roundy? I say we start calling it a Roundy as a sign of respect to the man! Though, I doubt well ever see another one. That was just too good. God Roundy is too good.
Qinghe hit the nail on its head. This teamfight was the God Roundy show! Roundy Round showed the entire world why his fans called him a God. He showed them why they nicknamed him the Uncrowned Eighth. Though, going solely off this play, calling him the Uncrowned Eighth would be an insult. This play alone made him deserving of the title of King, if not Emperor!
Lolo laughed and cried. Her emotions were in turmoil. She didnt know anymore how she felt or how to act. Then she wiped her eyes clean and spoke towards the camera, God Roundy did fantastic. He carried that teamfight on his back! That was so good.
As for the man in question, Tian Tian slumped back into his gaming chair. His Hecarim had survived and theyd won the teamfight. He looked drained. But there was also a smile. He grabbed his chest with both hands and breathed out deeply. Then he laughed. One short laugh full of disbelief. I-it worked. It worked! I cant believe that worked! Thered been no big plan, no grand scheme, nothing behind his play. All he did was follow his intuition. Hed used his ultimate when it felt right. I-im really really good. Lin Feng was right. Im good! Then he calmed down. Whenever he thought of Lin Feng, he remembered the promise hed made. He had to win this game! Not just one teamfight. It's time to focus and win!
In the NetCow Cafe in downtown Shanghai, the players from High School 13 had jumped up from their seats and were hugging each other and cheering. High School 7 had surrendered 25 minutes into the game! Though, the game was pretty much played after the teamfight at the Dragon pit. That fight had crushed High School 7s motivation. Theyd stopped trying as hard and got caught out of position constantly, to the point where there wasnt another big teamfight to speak of, only solo kills all over the map. But it didnt matter what High School 7 did or how they played. All that mattered was that High School 13 had won the game and would move on to the main tournament!
Ouyang, Yang Fan, and Ren Rou ran at their teammates and created a bigger hug-circle, as they jumped up and down. Theyd done it! They were going to the Shanghai 16 School Tournament!
Nice! You guys are the best! Ren Rou laughed.
Ouyang ruffled Lin Fengs hair and shouted loudly into everyones ears, HAHA! I KNEW IT! You guys totally did it! The Championship trophy will be ours! Watch out everyone, HERE WE COME!
When everyone calmed down a little and the hug-circle broke, Lin Feng rubbed his nose and said loud enough for everyone to hear, Its still not enough, though. He waited for the others to look at him before continuing, It doesnt matter that we already qualified. We still have to win the next game. Just this isnt enough. We have to go three for three.
The third game in this qualification round of the Shanghai 16 School Tournament was against Tonji Aff. High. They were the strongest team in this group and had made it all the way to the semifinals of the main tournament last year. But compared to what Fatty had to face at Worlds, this was nothing. Lin Feng only had to beat some high schoolers, while Fatty had to beat Legend, whose Midlander was Phoenix and one of the Four Emperors.
