Mara and I will see if it is possible to increase the chapter limit during this time, so please be patient. Till then, here is another 2 chapters!

PG’s members have made the collective decision to put Jing Yu’s Frozen Heart in the spotlight.
Therefore, under the helpful assistance of his teammates, Jing Yu smoothly accomplishes a quadrakill!
The bullets shooting across the livestream lose their mind completely:
【There’s a quadrakill already! Is pentakill still far away?!】
【Frozen Heart pentakills! Wah, just thinking about it gives me goose bumps all over!】
【Here’s a will in blood begging Frozen Heart to pentakill!】
【PG’s new jungler sure knows how to kickass!】
Halfling is also deeply impressed by Jing Yu’s play: 【Looking at the current score, we can see PG has already taken down 13 heads. As for Blink, their count still remains fixed at 0. To create such disparity in score, player GF really doesn’t lack in skills. His headcount has already exceeded 10 so far. He is extremely OP!】
Candy musters an argument with some difficulty, taking Blink’s side: 【Blink still hasn’t given up! They’re all heading towards the Mid Lane to assemble. Are they planning to snatch the dragon?】
At this moment, the towers in Blink’s three lanes have all been cleanly ripped apart. Due to the lack of the whole picture, rather than saying Blink is aiming to snatch the dragon, it’d actually be more apt to say they’re preventing PG from snatching the Dragon.
As for whether they themselves intend to snatch the Dragon?
Candy quickly realizes an odd point to note: 【Blink’s jungler retreats immediately after reaching arm’s length of the Demonic Dragon. Are they not planning to snatch it?】
Halfling also thinks it’s weird: 【PG’s demons are all at the Bottom Jungle conquering the Demonic Disk right now. Technically, Blink can snatch the dragon right in the open, but it looks like they’re not planning to.】
A situation where one party battles the dragon behind the other’s back; that is called Snatching the Dragon.
To Blink, they have already lost all hope of defeating PG in a head on battle, so they should totally bet on the Demonic Dragon.
In any case, they’re already goners. If they manage to snatch the dragon by chance, who knows? They might still get a go at conquering the Demonic Disk?
However, after circling around the Demonic Dragon for a few times, Blink’s members actually go their separate ways to clear the lane creeps* and neutral creeps*, making the two commentators wear stupefied faces.
(*Lane Creeps: A line of automated creeps that always head towards the opponent’s towers to make small attacks)
(*Neutral creeps: ‘forest monsters’: they’re on neither team’s side, gives EXP and gold when killed)
Why aren’t you snatching?!
Fang Luofan also can’t help scrunching his brows.
Are Blink’s members lacking in foresight, or is it some other situation? Don’t talk about pro-gamers. Even casual players wouldn’t let go of such a neat opportunity ba?
“Right now, the enemy should be attacking the dragon.” Since he’s not able to see the livestream, just like that, Jing Yu makes a fabulous deduction that’s completely off the mark. “We’ll wait for them to finish up. Then, just when they’re weakened, we’ll ace them, conquer the Mid Lane, and topple all towers!”
Ye Hong: “Ace! Ace!”
Luo Yiming: “Pentakill! Pentakill!”
“You really want to pentakill ah?” Han Leng’s IQ makes a once-in-a-blue-moon return. He’s not fully behind this idea. “Let’s not fool around in the finisher ba? If we’re counter-attacked and aced, everything will go down the drain!”
“I agree.” Jing Yu finally remembers this is a pro-match. “It doesn’t matter who kills them. It’s fine so long as we ace them.”
“How can that be fine?”
Jing Yu freezes, not because of those words, but because – The one who said those words, is Qin Fei.
Upon hearing Qin Fei’s voice, the other members of PG are also startled.
Throughout the match, maybe it’s because he didn’t want to interfere with Jing Yu’s lead. Then again, it could be that the solo-laner doesn’t really participate in earlier team battles. Qin Fei never really spoke up, minding his business and slaughtering his counterpart thrice.
But now, he finally spoke up. Using his somewhat lackadaisical voice, he says: “You’ve already cleared first kill, double kill, triple kill, and quadrakill. Now, you’re just missing a pentakill. If you give up at this point, that’s the true meaning of ‘going down the drain.”
“Er, Fei Ge, I think……” Jing Yu doesn’t want to make Qin Fei unhappy, but he also doesn’t want to risk throwing this match. Therefore, he can only mindfully phrase his thoughts. “Pentakilling can be done any time in the latter matches. But if we lose this match, this PGL……”
“First off, it is impossible for us to lose.” Qin Fei resolutely and decisively cuts him off. “, pentakilling can indeed be done any time in the latter matches. But to do it in the first match of the Preliminaries of this PGL—” He lightly chuckles. “You only have one chance.”
Tension suddenly has Jing Yu in its grip. Qin Fei’s words seem to really make sense!
“This is your one and only chance. You should seize the opportunity.” Qin Fei continues to coax. “Just go for it. It’s okay even if you fail. But if it’s things which you could have accomplished but didn’t try, when you look back at it later, you will definitely regret it.”
“En.” Jing Yu buys it. “I’ll try it out.”
The bystander Ye Hong can’t bear to look on: “……”
Little Goldfish, you’re too easily swayed!
However, being PG’s biggest meddler, Ye Hong naturally won’t expose Qin Fei. Neither will he dare to.
After falling into a short silence, he speaks up as though that never happened: “It’s about time. Let’s get a move on!”
Right after his words, Qin Fei controls his Lilith to take lead and surge in the Demonic Dragon’s direction. Ye Hong swiftly keeps up, and Han Leng guards Luo Yiming as they both follow suit.
Jing Yu uses Frozen Heart’s advantage of Flash to make a sharp turn.
Much to his surprise, the system has yet to announce the defeat of the Demonic Dragon, causing Jing Yu to be a little suspicious.
This can’t be possible……
Hesitating a beat, he still can’t refrain from cautioning: “Watch out for an ambush.”
“En.” Qin Fei replies, and directly uses his ability to bulldoze into the Demonic Dragon’s surrounding bushes. In the end…… There’s jack squat waiting for them.
“En?” Ye Hong can hardly believe his eyes. “Where’re they?”
Jing Yu changes strategy at once: “Forget about the Demonic Dragon. We’re toppling the turret in the Mid Lane!”
The Demonic Disk that is levitating over the enemy’s second tower in the Mid Lane has yet to vanish. If they attack that tower now, they won’t have to take any tower damage.
Therefore, PG’s members all head towards the Mid Lane’s second tower. Just as they arrive at the base of the turret, Blink’s Jinghua Shuiyue appears and hurls a Roving Mirage at them. Faar and Centaur strafe*, one to the left, the other to the right. Then, Centaur makes to topple the tower. Faced with the enemy Jinghua Shuiyue, Faar uses her Ult, and in one go, she drowns both Jinghua Shuiyue, as well as the newly arrived Death God and True Arrow, all within the blazing wrath of a sea of flames!
(*Strafe: Game slang for side-ways dodging)
Faar’s AD is not high, but because of her high gold, her equipment outnumbers the enemy’s. Within an instant, she burns away a huge half of Jinghua Shuiyue and True Arrow’s blood. Only Death God is able to hold his ground with his Magic Resistance Cloak.
Seeing as if the Demonic Disk is about to dissipate, Lilith presses forward, thrashing Death God savagely. Almost simultaneously, the enemy Peacock Plume appears out of nowhere and directly Ults!
Both parties’ demons beat each other to a pulp beneath the tower. Every demon’s health bar suffers various degrees of decline.
Right at this moment, a flash of cold light shoots out from the neighbouring bush and randomly snags onto True Arrow who’s hidden behind Death God!
【Frozen Heart links up!】Halfling’s voice is exceptionally exhilarated, as if the one he is seeing is not Frozen Heart, but his own idol. 【The one who he linked up to is True Arrow! Frozen Heart’s positioning is extremely good since…… Frozen Heart releases his Ult on True Arrow! He CC’s them!】
【My God!】Candy can hardly dare believe it. 【They’re all frozen! Not a single one escaped!】
This is exactly what Halfling didn’t manage to finish saying – Frozen Heart’s positioning is way too good. On the screen, with True Arrow as the center point, every enemy has been transformed into a snow statue within a swirling snowstorm!
Following closely, the low HP True Arrow continues to suffer damages from his frozen status condition. He is the first to die.
System: 【Frozen Heart, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy True Arrow has been slain!】
Since he has slaughtered an enemy demon, Frozen Heart’s Teleport refreshes. He immediately links up to the enemy squishy, Peacock Plume. While floating over, he lodges an icy blade, piercing right through this multi-coloured demon!
System: 【Frozen Heart, Double Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!】
Immediately thereafter, Frozen Heart turns to his next target. Jinghua Shuiyue is also left with only a thin skin of blood after Lilith’s attack. Frozen Heart once again uses Snow Allure, linking up to her, then robbing her of her last skin of blood.
System: 【Frozen Heart, Triple Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Jinghua Shuiyue has been slain!】
Burial Sword finally manages to catch up to them at this point, but it’s all already too late. Not only is he useless, he’s even CC’ed by a single Bubble from Merman.
His reaction can be considered fast. He immediately uses a Release, but before he can even make his escape, Faar throws yet another Slo-mo spell at him.
The Demonic Disk shatters. Lilith tanks both Tower Defence and Death God’s relentless attacks. Just when her blood is about to reach the end of the health bar, Centaur delivers timingly and topples the tower, sending Death God an arrow on the way.
Nearly at the same time, Frozen Heart links up to Death God. With a few AA’s, he slashes a handful of times to peel off those skins of blood, finishing him off.
System: 【Frozen Heart, Quadrakill!】
System: 【The enemy Death God has been slain!】
For the sake of explaining this match, Halfling is hollering to the point of losing his voice. The bullet comments on the livestream similarly fly across at a maddening pace, as if fighting to beat out the rest gliding over the screen!
And what about the members of PG?
Luo Yiming: “KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL!”
Ye Hong: “Little Goldfish, hurry up aaaAAaHhH! HURRY HURRY HURRY HURRY HURRY!!!”
Han Leng: “Fuck this! Why the fuck is this so stimulating?! You attack for the sake of this laozi ah, Jing Yu!”
Just like that, under his teammates’ ear-piercing “encouragement”, Jing Yu calmly links his Frozen Heart up to Burial Sword. After Teleporting over, he directly takes his head with a combo attack.
System: 【Frozen Heart, Pentakill!】
System: 【The enemy Burial Sword has been slain!】
【FIVE KILLS! FROZEN HEART PENTAKILLS! GF HAS DID IT!】Halfling hollers hoarsely with all his might. 【Let us congratulate PG on achieving the first victory of the Preliminaries!】
【This is too thrilling!】Candy has completely forsaken her stand on Blink’s side. 【Let us thank PG for showcasing such a spectacular match! Also, let’s especially thank GF’s Frozen Heart, for introducing many more possibilities to the realm of PGL!】
On the screen, behind countless 【666】, PG’s members easily topple the Mid Lane’s last tower and begin smashing the enemy’s territory to smithereens.
The five players of Blink are still floating in the skies. They can only watch, transfixed, as their own family’s territories landslide at a terrifying pace. Their hands are tied.
Several seconds later, Blink’s territory is completely eradicated. “Victory”, this large golden word surfaces on PG’s screens.
“It feels too good!” Luo Yiming is the first to rip off his headphones, hollering loudly. “Goldfish, I finally understand why you like to play Frozen Heart! Using a demon which the enemy underestimates to crush them to bits. It really feels so satisfying ah!”
After Jing Yu puts down his headphones, he doesn’t take in a single word of Luo Yiming. Instead, he stares at the screen before him, ruminating.
Qin Fei props his own headphones on the desk, turning his head automatically to look at Jing Yu. Seeing him absorbed in thought, he can’t help raising his brows: “Still thinking about why they didn’t snatch the dragon?”
Jing Yu is startled, turning abruptly to look at Qin Fei: “En… So, why did that happen?”
Come to think of it, how did he know what he’s thinking?
Qin Fei shrugs, smiling lazily: “Who the hell knows.”
Jing Yu: “……”
Several minutes later, this match’s MVP is decided – It’s Jing Yu’s Frozen Heart, who collected 15 heads and is well-deserving of the title.
Additionally, snippets of his various moments are also replayed and explained in detail by the two live commentators.
However, things like these are naturally lost on PG.
They are already discussing how to stir things up in the next match:
Luo Yiming: “Ye Zi, you should continue to use Faar in the next match ba. I suddenly want to use Sonde!”
Han Leng: “Then, I’ll use Voïa too. To be honest, Voïa’s also quite nice ah. Why does everyone hate her?”
Ye Hong: “It’s settled then! We’ll use the Starter Pack demons to save the world!”
“Which world are you going to save?”
A voice carrying some chill drifts in from the door, sending Ye Hong a shiver down his spine. He turns his head to look at the door…… As expected, it’s really Fang Luofan.
Fang Luofan has his arms crossed as he stands at the door. His expression is faintly displeased: “Did you guys have fun this time?”
Every man present doesn’t dare to breathe too loudly, all save for Qin Fei.
Qin Fei turns his chair along to face Fang Luofan, smiling casually: “Isn’t it a game? It’s got to be fun.”
Fang Luofan coldly glances at him. Then, he turns his line of sight upon Luo Yiming: “Dark Cupid. Who was the one who banned it?”
Every man present instantly turns to look at Luo Yiming.
Luo Yiming: “……” Man! This really feels like the end of him!
As expected, Fang Luofan’s next words are: “Luo Yiming, follow me out. The others, rest well.”
Ye Hong: “Okay~ Yiming, take your time on your way out.”
Luo Yiming: “Fuck your Gramps!”
Han Leng: “Ai, no do no die, why you try?”
Luo Yiming: “What’s with that bird language!”
Qin Fei: “Don’t die.”
Luo Yiming: “……”
Just like that, under his comrades’ pitying glances (gloating at his plight), Luo Yiming tracks after Fang Luofan and leaves the Training Room.
Ye Hong and Han Leng get up to use the restroom. Qin Fei turns his head to look at Jing Yu once again, only to see him holding his chin, looking deep in thought.
–It’s really odd. Why exactly did Blink not snatch the dragon?

You may also choose a charity org (local or not) of your liking that is currently helping out with the corona pandemic.
Please don’t forget to forward any confirmation email / screenshot of the confirmation page to [email protected], and drop a comment to let me know you donated!
Current Donations: $0/6 (+5)*
*The extra chapter cap has officially been reached. You can still contribute to the donation counter as we will bring forward any balance to the extra chapters that will be released near future for this Cour! Thank you for your interest in donating!
