Tamago: Thank you, Loni, for your contributions!!! We now bring another 4 chapters to you!
******
In this round, both parties’ finalized line-ups are:
PG: Lilith, Scarlet Fury, True Arrow, Moonshadow Spider, Sariel
Grey: Satan, Peacock Plume, Chronos, Burial Sword, Jinghua Shuiyue
With Qin Fei’s Lilith as the solo-laner, there won’t be any solo-laner that’s not cowed by her in the first half.
With Ye Hong’s second lifeline as the mid-laner, let’s not even talk about it; Peacock Plume is the one demon he’s accrued most experience in countering.
With the True Arrow and Sariel tag-team in the Bottom Lane, it’s even less worthy of notice. This will simply be a round of abuse play for Chronos and Jinghua Shuiyue.
Then, they just have Burial Sword left. Even Jing Yu’s Frozen Heart can defeat him in a solo. Need you even ask about Moonshadow Spider?
If you can’t carry this match, which match can you carry?
So really, there is no reason not to let loose.
“Hmm, shall I tell you a secret?” Jing Yu doesn’t want to run his mouth when he’s around his teammates, but in a match up like this, he really can’t control himself.
It really could be a bad habit developed after a long period of live streaming. If he doesn’t do it a little before every match, he always feels like he’s not in his own skin.
Thankfully, his teammates all know how to accommodate him – Upon hearing these words, and despite clearly knowing he’ll start sassing, Ye Hong still plays along theatrically, asking: “Oh? And what secret is that?”
Jing Yu: “I can tell you, but you can’t tell it to the Coach.”
Luo Yiming: “Why not?”
Jing Yu: “I’m afraid it’ll anger the Coach.”
Han Leng: “Why will he be angry?”
Jing Yu: “Mmn……”
Qin Fei: “Rest assured. Nobody will leak it to the Coach. I’ll kill those who dare speak.”
Qin Fei says it in such a serious manner, Jing Yu can’t help but flash a smile. Then, he reveals: “Actually, amongst all the demons I play, Frozen Heart is the weakest.”
PG’s members: “???”
The Weakest?! That Frozen Heart which pentakilled in 2 minutes and led the team to a complete victory in 17 minutes, he is the weakest?!
What motherfucking bullshit are you feeding me?
Alright. They get why Jing Yu doesn’t want this leaked to the Coach now – We promised to give it our all, but you’ve been letting the waters flow this entire time? Moreover, you’re doing it in such a supercilious way too!
Jing Yu suddenly feels a bit embarrassed. He coughs lightly: “I’ve said it before. Although I’ve been using Frozen Heart this whole time and Frozen Heart is indeed the one I’m most comfortable and familiar with, I also know how to use warrior-class demons like Burial Sword. I don’t think I play them badly. In fact, I don’t even think my Burial Sword falls short of my Frozen Heart. He might actually outmatch him by a whole lot – A lot, a lot.” Pausing, “But Frozen Heart’s still my favourite demon!”
“Pfft……” Ye Hong is the first to give in, snorting, “Little Goldfish, did you grow up on Cornetto**?”
(**Cornetto, a brand of ice-cream 可爱多 vs Cute 可爱: basically , he’s calling GF a cutiepie)
Jing Yu: “Er?”
“No, it’s nothing, go on……” Ye Hong has a hard time restraining his laughter.
He flits a glance towards Qin Fei, who is beside Jing Yu. As expected, that face holds a subtle expression of one who wants to burst out laughing, and yet, is completely powerless to do so at the moment.
Jing Yu confidently goes on without noticing their reactions: “What I want to say is, I think my Moonshadow Spider outmatches my Frozen Heart. Or rather, I should say, anything I play is far better than Frozen Heart. This is the truth. I’m not lying to you.”
PG’s members: “……”
–Heavens, what sort of God-level Jungler is this? He’s clearly spouting haughty words. Yet, how can he still be so adorable?!
They’re gonna lose their heads at this rate!
Let’s be honest. If the match is not going on right now, they really will be lining up to ruffle Jing Yu’s hair.
This pure and lovely teen is in reality, a totally weak and frail little chick. But whenever he begins playing, everyone can’t help but want to drop down to their knees and call him Daddy!
–This moe gap, who TH can bear it?!
Qin Fei can feel himself getting a little restless. Speedily, he puts his focus back on the match, diligently commanding his Lilith to farm the creeps.
Having released his pent-up sass, Jing Yu only feels like he’s back in his own skin. His jungling speed is impossible to slow down.
Shadow Flash! Spiderweb! Maul! – Moonshadow Spider darts about the Jungle. Her tyrannizing, ferocious poise can’t help but summon an oddly familiar feeling.
【As expected of PG’s jungler ah.】Halfling can’t help recall, 【I still remember the first time I saw Goldfish use Frozen Heart. At first, I even questioned whether his Frozen Heart could blend in with PG. But now, seeing him rampage like this – It’s just like seeing the Qin Fei of the past, using his Satan to jungle!】
【I thought the same thing.】Candy backs him up, 【Although both demons’ abilities and classes are different, and as a result, we see a stark difference between them when they’re jungling, this sort of bloodthirsty game is still something only PG’s members are capable of!】
Back in the old days when Qin Fei was still the jungler, PG had another name. That is, The Tyrant of the Jungles.
No matter which team is up against them, nobody dared to stray into their Jungle in the first half. This is because the moment they do that, they can all forget about coming back alive.
–Qin Fei never lets anyone who invades his jungle off!
And now, Jing Yu’s Moonshadow Spider has inklings of the same pattern.
Halfling suspects this to be a result of his long-term association with PG. He must have been influenced by PG! That’s why he grew as ferocious as them. But he would have never thought – This is a result of Jing Yu’s intentional imitation.
Jing Yu loves Qin Fei’s game style. For a long time, he wanted to be able to play in the same way as Qin Fei. But at the same time, he also loves the junglers in the assassin class. The dilemma hence lies in that both assassin and warrior classes have totally different ways of jungling.
Thus, for the sake of victory and scores, the competitive Jing Yu gradually deviated from Qin Fei’s tracks and created a game play that is most suitable for him.
One can also say that it’s because of this, Qin Fei’s game play is still etched into his bones. Whenever he accidentally lets loose, he will unknowingly expose the violent side of himself.
The facts have proven, his Moonshadow Spider is indeed quite strong:
Ganking the Bottom-Laners: Moonshadow Spider doesn’t even bother to hide in the bushes – She directly charges out and attacks! A single dynamic combo is flung at Chronos and Jinghua Shuiyue, beating them till they’re incapable of making heads from tails. Then, finally, Luo Yiming’s True Arrow makes his move, effortlessly taking down two heads!
Ganking the Mid-Laner: Scarlet Fury forces Peacock Plume to scramble back to the enemy turret with his tail between his legs. Moonshadow Spider instantly Shadow Flashes through the walls and tower-dives. Spiderweb, then Maul are thrown in succession! Subsequently, Shadow Flashing and Flashing one after another post-haste, she flees the turret with full health!
Ganking the Solo-Laner: Lilith and Satan are locked in an airtight showdown on the outskirts of the enemy’s defence tower. Nonetheless, Moonshadow Spider doesn’t hesitate to barge in from behind the tower, tower-diving to seal off Satan’s only escape route. Subsequently, while tanking the tower defence, she ganks him with a combo-attack before Teleporting out of the tower!
【It’s yet another tower-dive! I’ve already lost count of them!】The more Halfling commentates, the more hotblooded he feels,【Hold on a sec?! After Moonshadow Spider tower-dives Satan, she doesn’t head back to her territory, but instead, rushes down towards the Mid Lane. What is she intending to do?】
At this moment, the enemy Peacock Plume, Chronos, and Jinghua Shuiyue have all assembled in the Mid Lane. Even the jungler Burial Sword reappears in the vicinity.
Meanwhile, on PG’s side, their only member in the Mid Lane is still Scarlet Fury. True Arrow is currently conquering the Demonic Disk while under the protection of Sariel.
Scarlet Fury has CC. Moreover, Ye Hong always has a few dirty tricks up his hand when it comes to motion control. He can, with some difficulty, defend the base of the turret and keep those four demons in check.
Yet at this moment, what exactly does the low HP Moonshadow Spider intend to do by getting near them?
【Does Goldfish intend to go over to join Ye Zi in a 2v4*? This is too risky!】Saying this, Halfling immediately withdraws his earlier excitement, scrunching his brows lightly, 【No. This is no longer a question of risks. With an assassin-class demon and such low HP, rushing forward at this time is simply having a death’s wish!】
(*2 vs 4)
【It looks like Grey intends to use the strength of the whole team to topple the Mid Lane’s first tower.】Candy explains, 【They are lying in wait for their lane creeps. So long as their next creep wave* makes it, Scarlet Fury will have no choice but to abandon the turret.】
(*Creep wave: Respawn of lane creeps. So, every set amount of time, the lane creeps suddenly increase in number due to more being respawned at their barracks.)
【Let’s take a look at what Goldfish is planning…… He attacks?!】Halfling simply can’t believe his eyes!
The low health Moonshadow Spider arrives in the Mid Lane, then wordlessly and directly lunges! He doesn’t even seem to have the slightest notion of co-oping with his family’s mage!
Jing Yu is currently in the zone. His fingers speedily and precisely fly over every key required.
The 2nd ability, Shadow Flash. Moonshadow Spider turns into an afterimage, perfectly dodging Peacock Plume’s Ult. She doesn’t lose half a drop of blood in this entire process.
The 3rd ability, Spiderweb. Moonshadow Spider hurls a spiderweb with a swing of her hands, accurately CC’ing the ones in the back of the team. These happen to be the mage and the marksman. CC’ing them to the point of excruciation, she executes a spectacular strafe to dodge Jinghua Shuiyue’s CC.
The 1st ability, Maul. Moonshadow Spider’s five fingers turn into blades, mercilessly shooting towards the CC’ed marksman and immediately slashing off a third of his blood.
Form Switch – Demon Form!
Moonshadow Spider’s skin bursts open all over her body. The entire spider left in her place seems to swell in size. Even her colour theme makes a blatant switch into a glaring blood red.
Demon Form: 3rd ability, Heavens Encompassing Web Cage!
After waiting an excruciating amount of time for the webs to disappear, the enemy mage and marksman still haven’t even got the opportunity to move an inch before they’re CC’ed by an even larger web. And this time, even the support Jinghua Shuiyue as well as Burial Sword, who had Teleported over to gank, are not spared. They’re all CC’ed to the point where they can’t even struggle.
Demon Form: 4th ability, Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders!
In a split second, countless spiders are shaken off from Moonshadow Spider. They make a blood frenzied surge towards the four demons. Under their venomous and devastating attacks, the four demons’ blood drop at a steady pace.
Demon Form: 1st ability, Binge!
Moonshadow Spider turns into a bloody shadow, glutting down the four bloody demons in one bite.
In the hands of this demon form, this is a CC ability without AD. However, the venom from before hasn’t faded!
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Chronos has been slain!】
As a squishy marksman, he is naturally the first to be depleted of his blood.
One second later, the effect of Binge lifts. The three demons fortunate enough to survive are thrown back out on the ground. However, before they could react, they’re met with the sight of Moonshadow splitting into numerous images and diving down on them – It’s the Demon Form’s 2nd ability: Moonshadow Harvest!
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Double Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!】
Almost at the same time where she slays Peacock Plume, Moonshadow Spider’s Demon Form comes to an end. Teleport refreshes. Without missing a beat, Jing Yu releases Shadow Flash. Appearing behind Jinghua Shuiyue, he lunges forward to Maul!
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Triple Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Jinghua Shuiyue has been slain!】
Within a short window of time, he’s already accomplished a triple kill. Truth to be told, within that space of time, every person besides Jing Yu is utterly stupefied. They totally don’t know what just happened???
It’s a pity they will continue to maintain this state of stupefaction.
Shadow Flash! Spiderweb! – Moonshadow Spider uses these two abilities in short succession. She reappears behind Burial Sword in a blur, then CC’ing him, opens a relentless series of AA!
Burial Sword grits through it till Spiderweb loses effect. At once, he Teleports with the intention of fleeing, but he’s CC’ed in place by Scarlet Fury’s Blood Entanglement. Following closely, Scarlet Fury Ults without so much as a blink of an eye, finally taking down his head with a single Blood Drain.
In this team battle, Moonshadow Spider didn’t pentakill, nor did she quadrakill. She only achieved a triple kill.
Nevertheless, this is a triple kill accomplished without the aid of his teammates. It carries more meaning than it seems.
–The low health Moonshadow Spider trampled a 1v3.
【What just happened?】Candy thinks she must have hallucinated, 【Replay……Excuse me, please replay it for a second.】
Halfling also can’t be concerned with calling for Jing Yu anymore. He gets the feeling he’s in a dream: 【En, let us take a look at the replay…… Slow down the video a bit. Just a bit more.】
When the replay has finally slowed to an appropriate speed, Halfling is finally able to identify the moves Jing Yu used: 【Shadow Flash – Spiderweb – Maul – Demon Form – Heavens Encompassing Web Cage – Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders – Binge – Moonshadow Harvest – Shadow Flash – Maul……】He repeats Jing Yu’s moves in order once more, and subsequently, he is completely dumbstruck, incapable of saying a thing.
The juggling of Moonshadow Spider’s two sets of abilities, the CC, the attacks… How can this be? A seemingly haphazard catalogue of abilities was strung together perfectly by Jing Yu – This complicated, yet flawless, self-invented combo attack rendered the enemy completely at his mercy.
And the end result of that is – Moonshadow Spider wins a 1v3 with low HP.
What else can he say?
Halfling already can’t say another word.
No. He is a live commentator. He has to say it……
【In the next round, Moonshadow Spider is a must-ban.】
Those words are full of certainty, as though he’s stating a mere fact.
【And then, in the next PGL, Moonshadow Spider must be barred from the League.】
–Each and every one of these is caused by Jing Yu’s chilling display.
To be able to get Frozen Heart banned with nary an objection, and then, to launch Moonshadow Spider up from the underwhelming demons to the level of a bug, this player is definitely the dark horse of this season!
And yet, at this moment of time, in PG Clubhouse’s Training Room:
Luo Yiming: “Emmm…… What happened just now? Can someone explain?”
Ye Hong: “Emmm…… I don’t know how to say it.”
Luo Yiming: “Ah? Weren’t you at the Mid Lane?”
Ye Hong doesn’t reply for a while. After a few moments, he says with a grave face full of pensiveness: “I think…… Goldfish, I better call you Daddy from now on ba.”
“Err?” Jing Yu wears a look of uncertainty. Before he gets to reply, he hears Qin Fei’s voice once again.
“This hard-carry of yours sure is an overkill.”
Qin Fei speaks leisurely, leaning back with the edges of his lips tugging up, full of relish: “Now then. Here comes the question – How do the authorities plan to deal with this bug?”

Mara: That chain of attacks by Moonshadow Spider gave me such satisfying chills. More, Jiejie~~
