tamago: something went wrong with the scheduling! sorry for the delay!
******
After double-checking to confirm Qin Fei and Han Leng didn’t log into the wrong account and they really switched positions, the live commentators are thunderstruck! The comments barrage is also gobsmacked!
【It’s the first match of the Qualifiers. Are you for real?!】
【Is PG out of their mind?!】
【MOMO: Gloating after banning 2 of Qin Fei’s solo-laners, then you’re motherfucking telling me Qin Fei’s playing the support?!】
【Hahaha! Who knows? Maybe Fei Ge’s throwing a mini tantrum after having 2 of his solo-laners banned!】
【The Sleepy God is supporting! Sooo looking forward to this match! But still, I want to see Goldfish’s Moonshadow Spider pentakill even more! Hahaha!】
The moment MOMO sees PG’s finalized line-up, they almost throw up blood!
Death God? Jinghua Shuiyue? Moonshadow Spider?!
–This line-up is totally not in their enemy data ah!
They wasted two bans, and the demon which should be banned the most is not banned. Every member of MOMO feels as though they’ve been utterly struck by lightning.
They have indeed wasted two of their bans – Since Han Leng is solo-laning, his first pick is Death God. He never once thought of picking Lilith or Satan.
While they are both equally savage youths of PG, unlike Qin Fei, Han Leng can’t be a barbarian with any demon he plays; How ruthless he becomes depends entirely on the demon he plays.
That’s why previously, when he was bottom-laning as a marksman, he was utterly underwhelming.
Although Lilith is a flexible demon, her HP is low. Her performance is entirely determined by one’s ability to timingly use her outstanding Blood Drain. During team battles, her blood also oscillates between high and low frequently. Just the sight of it is enough to make one back the hell outta all battles.
As for Satan, let’s not even go there. Being a jungler that’s ranked just a step behind Burial Sword, rather than tanking, he’s more suitable for ganking in the long run.
Therefore, to Han Leng, when it comes to solo-laning, Death God is still the best choice with this tank’s high HP. He can also be said to be his only available option at the present stage.
As for that solo-laner who becomes a monster with whatever demon he plays, at the moment, he is directing Jinghua Shuiyue to encircle Luo Yiming’s Chronos.
–Jinghua Shuiyue, the pure CC-type support.
“HAHAHA! It’d be so good if this is an offline match! I really want to see the enemies’ expressions now!” Luo Yiming can’t be any more excited – His own family’s captain is personally attending to him as a support! What VIP treatment is this?!
Qin Fei takes the opposite side and is chill as hell, even to the point of yawning lazily: “This time, I’ll take command?”
The support is indeed more suitable as a command than the jungler. Jing Yu “En”s without thinking, then as if realizing something, he hesitates: “Can you do it?”
Qin Fei: “Mn?”
Jing Yu: “You won’t fall asleep mid-game ba?”
Qin Fei: “……”
Jing Yu: “It’s just that you look very tired.” –To the point of yawning!
Qin Fei: “……”
Tired…… He is indeed a little tired, but not to the point of dozing off mid-game.
Afterall, this is a competition.
Don’t look at how Qin Fei acts. He is quite serious about the Tournament too. Or rather, he even established PG for the sake of this goal.
Yet, Jing Yu is using a face written with “You guys don’t obstruct this Laozi from winning this League” to look at him. What’s that disdainful look supposed to mean?
Qin Fei raises his brows, suddenly getting the urge to tease him: “I’ll take charge before I go to sleep. Once I doze off, you can take over.”
As expected, Jing Yu scrunches his brows. Despite the disagreement written plain out on his face, he still obediently agrees: “Alright. We’ll go with that.”
“What if we lose because I fall asleep? What will you do?” Qin Fei is suddenly intrigued.
Jing Yu doesn’t even turn his head to him and replies: “I won’t let that sort of thing happen.”
Qin Fei: “But what if it really does?”
Jing Yu falls into a brief silence before he once again speaks up. Qin Fei doesn’t know if it’s his own imagination, but his voice seems to have deepened a bit: “I won’t let you sleep.” Every word of his is clipped. “If you’re really that tired……” He turns his head to meet Qin Fei’s eyes, smiling gently, “I can always give you a punch, you know~?”
This coquettish tone full of sass makes a sudden return. Luo Yiming, who is beside them, can’t help doing a spit-take. Ye Hong and Han Leng also can’t hold back their laughter.
They may all think Jing Yu is making a joke, but only Qin Fei, who is seated right by his side, knows. When Jing Yu said these words, that flash of light in his eyes was downright lethal – He is serious.
No one can keep Jing Yu from winning the match. Even if it is his favourite pro-gamer, he won’t let him do it!
After laying that threat at Qin Fei’s feet, Jing Yu immediately turns his gaze back on his own computer screen and blanks out.
His heart’s suddenly racing so fast – He scared himself.
Heavens! He actually held Fei Ge at gunpoint! This time, he’ll definitely be hated by Fei Ge ba……
That said, he really doesn’t want to lose ah!
Qin Fei silently takes him in for a while and suddenly flashes a smile, whispering softly: “Don’t worry. I won’t fall asleep.”
In the next line: “Even if I end up sleeping, I can still hard-carry this team!”
Really, who knows where this person gets his confidence from?
Nevertheless, after receiving his word, Jing Yu instantaneously feels his heart settle. The space between his brows also smooths out without his knowledge – If Fei Ge says he won’t fall asleep, he definitely won’t fall asleep! If he says he can hard-carry, he can definitely hard-carry!
Facts have proven once again that a fan’s love for his idol is blind.
But still, it’s true that Qin Fei can hard-carry.
Qin Fei: “Yiming, you’re up!”
Luo Yiming’s Chronos reacts instinctively, barrelling over to thrash the enemy Centaur. Then, Qin Fei’s Jinghua Shuiyue uses a CC, simply CC-ing both Centaur and Merman at the edge of the Defence Tower.
Chronos’s AD is not high, but his attack range is the widest amongst all marksmen. He opens attack right from the beginning, continuing this assault even when Centaur gets CC’ed; even after the CC effect dissipates; and even when Centaur Flashes to flee – The enemy Centaur never once left Chronos’ shooting range throughout.
A Razor Wind flies past the entire defence tower, stabbing right through Centaur’s throat. Even if he used Flash, he never stood a chance of evading this punitive attack.
The First Blood has been made!
System: 【Chronos, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Centaur has been slain!】
After slaying Centaur, Chronos’ onslaught doesn’t stop. Razor Winds follow one after another and engulfs Merman in a fiery blaze.
Qin Fei: “Retreat!”
Luo Yiming gets his Chronos to back up, dodging Merman’s CC.
Qin Fei: “Tower-dive!”
Jinghua Shuiyue spearheads the invasion into the turret. Luo Yiming follows suit with a Teleport, unleashing a hellish storm of attacks on Merman.
Merman uses Flash to flee as well, but just like Centaur, he fails to leave the perimeter of Chronos’ shooting range.
System: 【Chronos, Double Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Merman has been slain!】
Qin Fei: “Flash and evacuate!”
Luo Yiming does as ordered. Almost at the same time, Jinghua Shuiyue storms out of the turret. Both players are left with half their blood. After slaughtering the enemy creeps, they merrily return to their territory.
The execution of this entire process is so…… Jing Yu’s admiration for Qin Fei once again levels up: “Fei Ge, you’re amazing!”
Qin Fei smiles: “You’re amazed just by this?”
Jing Yu: “Yiming has never obeyed my directions before!”
Qin Fei: “It’s nothing. Just give him a beating then you’re good.”
Luo Yiming: “???”
Luo Yiming expresses that he feels wronged: “When did I ever disobey your orders?”
Jing Yu doesn’t want to argue too much with him on this: “Alright. It’s my pot. I don’t know why, but I’m just not able to co-op with you.”
Qin Fei: “Like I said. Just give him a good beating and you’re good.”
Jing Yu is caught between tears and laughter.
This time though, he is hardly swayed by Qin Fei’s words. That’s because he knows it quite well: Luo Yiming does indeed obey his orders. It’s just that he has never once achieved his intended effect before. Therefore, this is not a problem that can easily be settled through fists.
Qin Fei also knows very well that Jing Yu and Luo Yiming’s teamwork still has a long way to go – In order to co-op with a marksman who is as dim-witted as Luo Yiming, besides being adaptive to the situation, one also needs to have some intuition on how Luo Yiming operates. Therefore, Qin Fei won’t give Jing Yu any guidance on how to do it in a formal match. This isn’t an urgent issue and it can be settled in the future.
More relevant to the present, he feels that the Jing Yu is already doing a spectacular job of ganking in the Bottom Lane.
When Jing Yu ganks the bottom-laners, his target is never the marksman, but instead, it is the jungler.
Lying in ambush in the bushes, he patiently waits till the moment the enemy jungler moves into action. Then seizing the opportunity, he lunges and ganks with a combo-attack!
This is hardly Jing Yu’s first time putting this strategy to use. Technically, the enemy jungler should have taken some precaution against it.
Nevertheless, it is still a success! This strategy has never failed him!
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Burial Sword has been slain!】
【Beautiful!】Halfling can’t resist exclaiming, 【Goldfish’s kiting is just flawless!】
【Kiting……】Candy’s caught between tears and laughter.
Halfling: 【Treating your own family’s marksman as bait and ganking the enemy jungler! That is what they call kiting!】
【As long as you’re happy.】Candy carries a degree of helplessness in her tone, but she still smoothly accepts Halfling’s claim in the next second, 【Goldfish’s kiting really is a marvel no matter which demon he uses!】
Halfling: 【Yeah, right? However, in this match, Qin Fei’s Jinghua Shuiyue is equally impressive.】
Candy: 【The key thing is because the bottom-laners’ pace is stable. ONE’s slip-ups in his motion-control are noticeably lesser compared to the Preliminaries.】
Halfling: 【Rather than saying ONE’s motion-control has made an improvement, it’ll be better to say Qin Fei co-ops well. Regardless of how recklessly ONE plays, he is still able to keep up. Every opportunity the enemy seizes is all counteracted and used by him.】
Candy: 【Ai, first the jungler, then the solo-laner, and now the support – How exactly is Qin Fei able to play in every position?】
This question simply voices the thoughts of the audience behind their screens. Countless bullet comments echo agreements as they fly across the livestream, forcing Fang Luofan to scrunch his brows and turn off the comments barrage for a bit.
【Speaking of which, let’s take a look at the Top Lane.】Halfling turns the livestream onto the Top Lane.
On the screen, Han Leng’s Death God has completely trapped the enemy Mad Bones within his turret. From time to time, he sporadically uses his ability to tow out the enemy to toy with him for a bit. The sight of this is just……
【The solo-laner can open attack without concern because his HP is high.】Halfling looks at Mad Bones, who has been bullied by Death God to the point of shrinking into the base of his turret and shivering helplessly. The urge to laugh is real, 【Mad Bones and Death God are all demons of the same class. But when they are facing off, Mad Bones is at a clear disadvantage.】
【In general, when it comes to other teams, Death God is a must-ban for the second-mover. It’s only when facing PG that Satan and Lilith will take priority to be banned.】Saying this, Candy can’t help but grumble, 【When a gamer hits a certain level of strength, all differences in demons’ stats seem to lose its importance.】
Halfling: 【Indeed. Just take a look at Goldfish’s assassin class demons! They’re a winning example!】
As they are speaking, Moonshadow Spider drops by the Mid Lane and breaks into the enemy turret. Swiftly ganking Scarlet Fury in a blink of an eye, she Teleports out of the turret.
On the livestream, countless 【666】slide pass in an orderly fashion. None of the audience is able to restrain the excitement boiling over in their hearts.
Almost everyone thinks Jing Yu’s Moonshadow Spider beats out his Frozen Heart. This is because when using Moonshadow Spider, she tower-dives even more than Frozen Heart.
Being a low HP, high AD, and a “Berserker” demon, Moonshadow Spider’s design of selling blood for damage is put on vivid display by Jing Yu.
When Burial Sword sees other demons with low blood, his first reaction is to gank in a frenzy! If he doesn’t finish them off, he definitely won’t leave!
But what if he sees Moonshadow Spider with low blood? The stake of this bet’s far too high. Goodbye, sorry, gotta leave!
Alas, they finally reach the Team Battle right before the Demonic Dragon refreshes.
“Old Han, open Team!”
Under Qin Fei’s order, Han Leng’s Death God takes lead and barrels in. A pitch-black sickle successfully hooks onto the enemy Mad Bones, directly hauling him into PG’s circle. Following closely, Qin Fei Flashes over and hurls a Roving Mirage, CC’ing every enemy in place!
【They’re all controlled!】Halfling simply can’t believe his own eyes, 【The timing of that Flash is simply too well done! But with that, MOMO reacts swiftly, all Releasing nearly at the same time…… Moonshadow Spider attacks!】
Left with a thin skin of blood, Moonshadow Spider unfalteringly Flashes into the centre of MOMO’s circle with Death God’s Death Scythe. Immediately thereafter, Spiderweb – Maul – Demon Form – Heavens Encompassing Web Cage – Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders – Binge – Moonshadow Harvest……
The combo attack hit MOMO’s members till they can’t tell the top from bottom. The haphazard and dizzying abilities can’t be differentiated unless one plays it in slo-mo. The entire screen fills with system prompts indicating the enemy demons’ defeats, piercing to the eyes.
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Centaur has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Double Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Scarlet Fury has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Triple Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Mad Bones has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Quadrakill!】
System: 【The enemy Merman has been slain!】
【QUADRAKILL! Goldfish’s Moonshadow Spider quadra-killed!】Halfling’s screaming, thrilled to the extent where his voice breaks, 【There’s only Burial Sword at low health left! Burial Sword teleports to escape!】
Seeing how disadvantageous this situation is, MOMO’s Burial Sword immediately breaks for it the moment the CC dissipates, relying on Teleport to vanish without a trace.
On PG’s side, with the exception of Moonshadow Spider, everyone has over half of their health. They’re all perfectly safe.
“Conquer the dragon!” Under Qin Fei’s command, every demon shoots towards the Demonic Dragon. In contrast to them, he begins to scour the bushes in the vicinity.
At this precise moment, Burial Sword has made a full circle and is hiding in the bushes. His heart’s pounding to the point where it’s about to stop.
【Burial Sword is in the bushes! Will he be found out by Qin Fei?】Candy is far more anxious compared to Burial Sword himself, 【He’s hiding close to the dragon! He’s planning to snatch the dragon!】
【MOMO, this team, is indeed quite experienced at snatching the dragon. However, when met with PG, a Top 8, will they be able to pull it off?】Halfling has his eyes fixed on Qin Fei’s Jinghua Shuiyue throughout, watching him close the distance with Burial Sword, 【He’s going to be found!】
But right as Jinghua Shuiyue makes the first step into the bushes, Burial Sword immediately forks out a Flash to get away from the bushes. The entire demon Flashes right past Jinghua Shuiyue, vanishing into one of the bushes that was previously scoured.
【Wonderful!】Even if he’s whole-heartedly on PG’s side, Halfling is still amazed by Burial Sword’s quick-witted move – If he Flashed from one bush to another, he certainly wouldn’t be found by the enemy demon.
Unsurprisingly, Qin Fei finds zero traces of Burial Sword and thinks all is clear after giving the area a once-over. With that, he heads over to the Demonic Dragon to throw in his attacks.
But just as the Demonic Dragon is left with a thin skin of blood, Burial Sword lunges out!
【Burial Sword is attacking!】Candy cries in shock, eyes peeled as she watches Burial Sword use a single Teleport to get beside the Demonic Dragon. Almost at the same time, Jing Yu’s Moonshadow Spider forks out a Smite!
And the result is?!

‘时不时地用技能把对方勾出来调戏一下 ‘: I only had a vague idea of how to translate 调戏 even if I ended up going with ‘toy’. But when I searched it up, the end result was:
‘…he sporadically uses his ability to tow out the enemy and molest him for a while’
You do you, Han Leng (=u=)b
Mara: Oh, oh, oh, that’s nicee I already told you all that GF is a feral dog, hahahah, he is willing to kill for the win! Is he…maybe… possibly a yandere-type?

After double-checking to confirm Qin Fei and Han Leng didn’t log into the wrong account and they really switched positions, the live commentators are thunderstruck! The comments barrage is also gobsmacked!

Being a low HP, high AD, and a “Berserker” demon, Moonshadow Spider’s design of selling blood for damage is put on vivid display by Jing Yu.
When Burial Sword sees other demons with low blood, his first reaction is to gank in a frenzy! If he doesn’t finish them off, he definitely won’t leave!
But what if he sees Moonshadow Spider with low blood? The stake of this bet’s far too high. Goodbye, sorry, gotta leave!
Alas, they finally reach the Team Battle right before the Demonic Dragon refreshes.
“Old Han, open Team!”
Under Qin Fei’s order, Han Leng’s Death God takes lead and barrels in. A pitch-black sickle successfully hooks onto the enemy Mad Bones, directly hauling him into PG’s circle. Following closely, Qin Fei Flashes over and hurls a Roving Mirage, CC’ing every enemy in place!
【They’re all controlled!】Halfling simply can’t believe his own eyes, 【The timing of that Flash is simply too well done! But with that, MOMO reacts swiftly, all Releasing nearly at the same time…… Moonshadow Spider attacks!】
Left with a thin skin of blood, Moonshadow Spider unfalteringly Flashes into the centre of MOMO’s circle with Death God’s Death Scythe. Immediately thereafter, Spiderweb – Maul – Demon Form – Heavens Encompassing Web Cage – Feast of Ten Thousand Spiders – Binge – Moonshadow Harvest……
The combo attack hit MOMO’s members till they can’t tell the top from bottom. The haphazard and dizzying abilities can’t be differentiated unless one plays it in slo-mo. The entire screen fills with system prompts indicating the enemy demons’ defeats, piercing to the eyes.
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, First Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Centaur has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Double Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Scarlet Fury has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Triple Kill!】
System: 【The enemy Mad Bones has been slain!】
System: 【Moonshadow Spider, Quadrakill!】
System: 【The enemy Merman has been slain!】
【QUADRAKILL! Goldfish’s Moonshadow Spider quadra-killed!】Halfling’s screaming, thrilled to the extent where his voice breaks, 【There’s only Burial Sword at low health left! Burial Sword teleports to escape!】
Seeing how disadvantageous this situation is, MOMO’s Burial Sword immediately breaks for it the moment the CC dissipates, relying on Teleport to vanish without a trace.
On PG’s side, with the exception of Moonshadow Spider, everyone has over half of their health. They’re all perfectly safe.
“Conquer the dragon!” Under Qin Fei’s command, every demon shoots towards the Demonic Dragon. In contrast to them, he begins to scour the bushes in the vicinity.
At this precise moment, Burial Sword has made a full circle and is hiding in the bushes. His heart’s pounding to the point where it’s about to stop.
【Burial Sword is in the bushes! Will he be found out by Qin Fei?】Candy is far more anxious compared to Burial Sword himself, 【He’s hiding close to the dragon! He’s planning to snatch the dragon!】
【MOMO, this team, is indeed quite experienced at snatching the dragon. However, when met with PG, a Top 8, will they be able to pull it off?】Halfling has his eyes fixed on Qin Fei’s Jinghua Shuiyue throughout, watching him close the distance with Burial Sword, 【He’s going to be found!】
But right as Jinghua Shuiyue makes the first step into the bushes, Burial Sword immediately forks out a Flash to get away from the bushes. The entire demon Flashes right past Jinghua Shuiyue, vanishing into one of the bushes that was previously scoured.
【Wonderful!】Even if he’s whole-heartedly on PG’s side, Halfling is still amazed by Burial Sword’s quick-witted move – If he Flashed from one bush to another, he certainly wouldn’t be found by the enemy demon.
Unsurprisingly, Qin Fei finds zero traces of Burial Sword and thinks all is clear after giving the area a once-over. With that, he heads over to the Demonic Dragon to throw in his attacks.
But just as the Demonic Dragon is left with a thin skin of blood, Burial Sword lunges out!
【Burial Sword is attacking!】Candy cries in shock, eyes peeled as she watches Burial Sword use a single Teleport to get beside the Demonic Dragon. Almost at the same time, Jing Yu’s Moonshadow Spider forks out a Smite!
And the result is?!

Tama: A Peek into the process of Translation: On the screen, Han Leng’s Death God has completely trapped the enemy Mad Bones within his turret. From time to time, he sporadically uses his ability to tow out the enemy to toy with him for a while. This sight is simply just……
‘时不时地用技能把对方勾出来调戏一下 ‘: I only had a vague idea of how to translate 调戏 even if I ended up going with ‘toy’. But when I searched it up, the end result was:
‘…he sporadically uses his ability to tow out the enemy and molest him for a while’
You do you, Han Leng (=u=)b
Mara: Oh, oh, oh, that’s nicee I already told you all that GF is a feral dog, hahahah, he is willing to kill for the win! Is he…maybe… possibly a yandere-type? But you can see that he can be quite cold-blooded, I love characters like that XD And QF just comes like a moth to the flame, haaah, so hopeless…. PS. I adore my tamago, she made almost no mistakes in this chapter
PSS. Tama: A shell hidden in the egg, the shell strikes the next bite.
