The split second where Frozen Heart ganks Centaur, Merman charges forward with an AA. Seeing as if Frozen Heart’s a second away from being ganked, Sariel Flashes before Frozen Heart faster than light and tanks this attack for him!

Jing Yu: “Well done! Withdraw!”

Han Leng: “Roger!”

Under Sariel’s protection, the Frozen Heart retreats at low health back to their family’s turret. Both people click to recall home*.

(*recall home: clicking to warp back to their homebase. Can only be done within their towers)

The score right now is: 10 – 9

PG’s leading by a kill!

【AMAZING! This is way too amazing!】 For a very long time, “Amazing” is the only thought remaining in Halfling’s head.

【Goldfish counter-killed at low HP! This is way too amazing!】Candy is also infected by Halfling. Her head’s full of nothing but “Amazing”.

Both parties recollect themselves a bit later and replay the scene from just now.

Halfling: 【This team battle really was full of ups and downs! PG secured a vantage point yet ANE beat them to opening Team – Peacock Plume’s Ult also came way too suddenly! Fortunately, PG reacts promptly. First, there is Sariel whose Ult came at a vital time, then there is Goldfish’s Frozen Heart who seized the opportunity and turned the tables with a single move!】

Candy: 【Burial Sword’s Defend was released too early…… No! Frozen Heart must have slowed down on purpose to evade Burial Sword’s Defend!】

Halfling: 【Yup, that’s exactly right. After Frozen Heart linked up to Peacock Plume, he clearly halted a beat before Teleporting!】Pausing, 【But it seems like ANE had foreseen this. Centaur forked out Flash at once, escaping Snowstorm’s AoE*. Death God and Burial Sword also immediately used Release.】

(*AoE: Area of Effect)

Candy: 【From this display, we can clearly see that ANE has looked into PG’s new Jungler – The timing of Burial Sword’s Defend clearly suggests that it was meant for Frozen Heart.】

Halfling: 【To be honest, when Dark Cupid keeled over and died, I still thought PG would lose for sure. But I’d never have guessed – Frozen Heart counter-killed at low HP! He shouldered past it and created a head’s lead! That’s way too remarkable!】

Candy: 【I agree! Goldfish’s counter-kill at low HP near end truly was quite marvellous! Frozen Heart is definitely the MVP of this team battle!】

Halfling: 【As expected of the Mainland Server’s Top Frozen Heart! GOLDFISH! GOLDFISH!】

Candy: 【Hahaha! Halfling, watch yourself! You’re still commentating!】

Halfling: 【……Okay! We can see here that after Frozen Heart restored himself*, he immediately rushed down to the Mid Lane to secure the Dragon’s FoV*. With this, PG has gained a huge advantage in Snatching the Dragon!】

(*Restoring oneself: Top up HP and MP)

(*FoV: Field of View: The extent of the world that is observable to the party. So now, they can see what is happening over at the Demonic Dragon’s side.)

Candy: 【We are now 25 minutes into the game. PG is currently leading in gold by a small margin, and similarly, they’re leading by a head. I think this round will be decided by the next team battle!】

Halfling: 【Then again, will PG consider snatching the dragon?】

Huh. PG is indeed intending to do just that:

Jing Yu: “We can’t beat ANE in a team battle. Should we snatch the dragon?”

Qin Fei: “It’s not like we can’t beat them. It’s just ANE has beaten us to opening Team every time. We got led around by them. Nevertheless, snatching the dragon sounds good to me.”

Jing Yu: “Then, let’s go with that – Han Ge, take Yiming with you to snatch the dragon. The others follow me to the Mid Lane. We’ll distract ANE.” Pausing here, “We may be killed.”

Ye Hong chuckles: “It’s not a ‘may’, but a ‘will’. Yiming, seriously, don’t let our sacrifice go to waste!”

Jing Yu is just about to tell him to not put the pressure on Luo Yiming when he hears Luo Yiming’s delighted cackling: “HAHAHA! Leave it to me! Wait till I snatch the dragon, I’ll slaughter that lot of them!”

Jing Yu: =_=

Alright. Their family’s C position’s best trait is most likely how he thinks he’s always kick-ass enough to turn the tides regardless of which death trap he’s leaping into.

–They’ll never have to worry about him feeling stressed out due to the enemy crushing him, or his teammate’s disdain.

If one attributes Ye Hong’s growing list of mistakes in the latter half to keeping his state of focus for a long time and feeling worn, Luo Yiming’s case is solely due to the fact that he’s high, loosened up, utterly inebriated.  

Should they say, this is only expected of PG’s Marksman?

–Releasing all reigns on himself, losing himself in the game.

Halfling: 【PG’s members have gathered up in the Mid Lane. Are they preparing for a team battle once more? ……No! Sariel charges into the Dragon Den while guarding Dark Cupid. They are intending to snatch the dragon!】

Candy: 【On ANE’s side, Burial Sword is leading the creep route at the Top Lane. After the others noticed PG’s movements, they’ve also started hurrying to the Mid Lane. What’s interesting here is that ANE has neither a Mid Lane FoV* or Dragon FoV. They can only see Satan, Scarlet Fury, and Frozen Heart who are clearing their creeps, but they can’t see Dark Cupid and Sariel who are off to snatch the dragon!】

(*G/E: Not having Mid Lane FoV: This is because they do not have someone in the Mid Lane monitoring the situation)

Halfling: 【PG is fast-footed about snatching the dragon – Dark Cupid lunges off the bat!】

Candy: 【Will ANE notice PG’s ploy? …Ah! Burial Sword’s heading to the Demonic Dragon!】

Almost right when Candy gives that shocked commentary, Jing Yu senses something. His brows furrow: “Something’s off! Burial Sword could clearly topple the turret but didn’t – He’s realized we’re snatching the dragon! Yiming, get back here!”

Luo Yiming: “HUH?! We’re just a step away from making it!”

Right when his words just fell, ANE races over to the Mid Lane and does not even bat an eye at PG who are standing right before their tower, barrelling straight for the Demonic Dragon!

“Tsk.” Jing Yu’s left with no choice but to switch their game plan, “Whatever. Snatch the dragon! Fei Ge, open Team!”

This time, they will open the Team first no matter what!

Upon receiving this order, Qin Fei, who has long since been on the standby, unfalteringly makes his Satan release his 2nd ability, Tyranny of the Demon Lord, and charges after ANE!

Jing Yu: “Ye Ge, CC!”

Ye Hong makes Scarlet Fury hurl a Blood Entanglement that ensnares ANE’s Solo-laner and Mage.

Death God uses Release at once, but in the next second, a flash of sharp light links up to him. Subsequently, a violent torrent of Snowstorm whirls around him. He’s instantaneously transformed into an ice statue!

–After Frozen Heart links up to Death God, he seizes the opportunity while Burial Sword’s yet to arrive and Teleports over and Ults! Death God, Peacock Plume, Centaur, and Merman. He CC’s all of them without a single exception!

Death God’s Release is already depleted, so Centaur and Merman Release instead. Merman opens Shield to protect the team, tanking Scarlet Fury’s Ultimate which was a hair’s breadth away from hitting.

Centaur can’t snipe Frozen Heart. Therefore, he can only switch targets and aim at PG’s front-liner, Satan.

Be that as it may, is Qin Fei’s Satan really that easy to shove around?

His Ultimate, Hands of the Abyss, shoots up at Centaur’s feet. Accompanied by the damages from the Eruption of the Satanic Inferno, in a blink of an eye, he chops off a good half of Centaur’s health bar!

Frozen Heart Flashes to Centaur’s side post-haste, swiping out his 1st ability to finish him off!

【System】Frozen Heart, First Kill!

【System】The enemy Centaur has been slain!

They’ve killed the enemy’s C position!

PG’s confidence skyrockets at once!

Frozen Heart whose Teleport thus refreshes also locks on Death God at top speed, Teleporting himself over while dodging Peacock Plume’s Ultimate!

Jing Yu: “Han Ge, back me up!”

Receiving this order, Han Leng makes Sariel Ult right then and there. Blood Lock, Speed Boost!

Death God sweeps 360 degrees with his Death Scythe and swings it down upon Frozen Heart, but not one ounce of damage is taken!

While Sariel’s Ult is still in effect, Frozen Heart seizes the chance to dodge behind Satan at top-speed, thereby leading all of Peacock Plume’s attacks over to Satan.

Qin Fei eyes the huge amount of damage tanked on his screen. Even though Satan is left with only a thin skin of blood, he doesn’t bat an eye. Not only does he not retreat, he even shoulders onwards. The instant his ability refreshes, he takes aim at Peacock Plume. With the assistance of the attack’s health draining effect, he’s able to make his blood jump back up, thereby tanking Death God’s next attack again!

【System】Satan, First Kill!

【System】The enemy Peacock Plume has been slain!

Following closely, Dark Cupid arrives on the scene and Scarlet Fury’s abilities cool down. He opens a combo-attack on Death God!

In the end, it is still Satan who’d tanked too much damage that retires from the Battlefield first. Death God follows right after, sniped down by Dark Cupid!

【System】Death God, First Kill!

【System】The ally Satan has been slain!

【System】Dark Cupid, First Kill!

【System】The enemy Death God has been slain!

With this, ANE has lost three of their critical members. On PG’s side, they’ve only lost Qin Fei’s Satan.

But right at this moment, a demon barges in at PG from behind. The special effect of Ten Thousand Swords is both ferocious and chilling. What follows promptly is a series of relentless attacks!

–It’s Fly’s Burial Sword! He’s here!

【System】Burial Sword, First Kill!

【System】The ally Scarlet Fury has been slain!

【System】Burial Sword, Double Kill!

【System】The ally Dark Cupid has been slain!

“BURIAL SWORD! It’s Burial Sword again!” Luo Yiming is pissed to the point where he nearly flips the table.

Fly’s Burial Sword seems to have gotten a lot better compared to the last practice match. Be it his foresight or his gameplay, both aspects seem to have heightened to a whole new level entirely. It’s unknown whether this is due to Jing Yu’s Frozen Heart.

At the moment, both parties are left with just their Jungler and Support. The low HP Demonic Dragon is just off to their sides – Having taken attacks from Luo Yiming’s Dark Cupid before, and despite PG and ANE’s bout thereafter, the Dragon’s blood did not replenish much. It’s still within the ability of any Jungler to solo-kill* it!

(*solo-kill: kill by oneself)

Thus, in this situation, the only natural course of action is of course – Snatch the Dragon!

Jing Yu’s Frozen Heart and Fly’s Burial Sword almost simultaneously make a break for the Demonic Dragon while being protected by their respective supports!

But right as the two demons are dashing to the Demonic Dragon, Burial Sword switches target and charges at Frozen Heart, intending to gank!

At this precise moment, due to the team battle just now, Frozen Heart is only left with a slice of blood that’s thinner than thin. Burial Sword’s blood is all but full.

Seeing Burial Sword lunge at Frozen Heart, ready to release his ability, Halfling’s heart is in his throat: 【Is Frozen Heart going to die? ……Eck?!】

Candy: 【The heck?!】

The two commentators cry out almost at the same time – On the screen, right when Burial Sword charges over to Frozen Heart and releases his ability, Frozen Heart turns gold from head to toe and is rooted to the spot!

This is…… the mage’s equipment – Golden Armour?!

Halfling: 【Goldfish switched out his last piece of equipment for Golden Armour!】

Candy: 【How dirty!】

Golden Armour – This is a mage’s equipment that can boost AP, but also carries a passive skill. During the 5 seconds it’s activated, no one may attack, but the user also can’t attack others.

Burial Sword can’t gank Frozen Heart. Therefore, he can only redirect his focus to hurriedly beat up the Demonic Dragon, aiming to conquer the Demonic Dragon before Frozen Heart’s Golden Armour loses effect.

Golden Armour is on for only 5 seconds. But unexpectedly, the instant 5 seconds passed, Frozen Heart, having regained control of his body, decisively forks out Smite at the Demonic Dragon!

As for Fly’s Burial Sword, he also forks out his Smite nearly at the same time!

The end result is?!

【System】Frozen Heart has conquered the Demonic Dragon!

Seeing this system prompt, the members of ANE nearly smash their hands through their keyboards. Jing Yu though, can’t help chuckling aloud: “Golden Armour is truly useful. Thanks, Zhis.”

Over at MOMO’s Clubhouse, Zhis, who is currently watching the broadcast on live: “……Fuck! Not only do PG have the True Eye of the Evil King, they even have Sharingan!”
