Upon seeing Ye Hong all ready to slam his hand into the table and scream “Watch me carry with a pentakill!”, Jing Yu’s quick to throw him a bucket of cold water: “Ye Ge, don’t be too happy yet.”

Ye Hong’s heart skips a beat at hearing those words. Before he’s able to respond, Jing Yu hesitantly begins: “Has the enemy Mid-laner ever use Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in the matches so far?”

“Not at all.” The one who replied him is Qin Fei. After doing so, Qin Fei pauses briefly and adds, “But that doesn’t discount the possibility.”

In this round, DJss has the first hand. They’ve got the advantage of picking a demon first.

If by some chance, their family’s Mid-laner were to actually lock Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Ye Hong who rarely gets the opportunity to face his own lifeline in battle would find that a tall mountain to climb.

--While Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is one tricky customer for the other teams, the same can be spoken for PG vice versa.

But flipping things around, if PG tries to seal off that possibility by banning Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and yet the enemies never had the intention of using Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Ye Hong would be vexed to the point of having his guts turn green when he looks back at this in the future.

Jing Yu gazes at the remaining, empty ban slot, unable to make up his mind for a long time.

At last, it is still Ye Hong who helps him do it: “Ban Camael ba! The enemies banned Yiming’s lifeline, we’ve got no reason to let Camael out – This marksman is still capable even if he’s been slashed.”

“Alright.” Jing Yu’s been persuaded. He shifts his cursor, clicking on Camael and confirming.

He knows. Though Ye Hong said it quite logically, he actually only wants to play his lifeline once in a formal match. This is no different from how he wants to use Frozen Heart in the PGL too.

Thinking about it from his shoes, he decided to just satisfy him.

And yet, one truly shouldn’t set too many flags when being considerate. Oftentimes, the more you fear for something to happen, the more likely it would happen – Right after Jing Yu banned Camael, in the selection box, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s card goes black.

She was picked.

And the one who picked her is DJss’ Mid-laner – Amm.

“Shit!” Ye Hong couldn’t resist and slams his hand into the table.

Jing Yu also scrunches his brows with a “Tsk” – Nine-Tailed Demon Fox being snatched seriously is the worse possible scenario.

Not only does Ye Hong lack experience in facing Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in a match of gold and creeps, he even lacks the experience of ganking this demon. Afterall, there are not many who’re capable of using this demon even in the PGL, and as for those few who’re able to do it, their chances of obtaining this demon in-match is an indisputable 0.

Ye Hong calms down promptly after cussing, silently taking a deep breath: “I’m sorry.”

Jing Yu freezes, unable to process that word: “Why’re you apologizing?”

Ye Hong smiles helplessly. Apologizing at this moment truly isn’t like him. Or rather, it’d be better to say it’s not like a member of PG at all. Afterall, PG’s fooled around for more than a couple of times by winging it with their bans and picks. In the end, they still pulled through despite having a couple of close-calls and secured win after win.

 

However this time , it isn’t the same – This is the Elimination Round.

Who doesn’t want to win the League ah…… That said, some things are still better left in the dark and kept as a secret.

Ye Hong thus does not reply Jing Yu’s question, coolly sharing his lifeline’s weaknesses: “With the changes this time, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has been slashed quite mercilessly. Her defence was cut by nearly a half. Therefore, so long as I’m able to CC, you can definitely finish her off with one combo-move – Let’s have it at a Mid-laner-Jungler co-op ah, Little Goldfish~”

“Okay.” Jing Yu doesn’t pay any heed to Ye Hong’s abnormal behaviour just now. After giving a docile reply, he begins to contemplate PG’s next line of action to deal with this situation.

He doesn’t take much time. Afterall, what they’ve got to do is quite clear – Their mid-laner’s been snatched. Naturally, they’ve got to return with the marksman: “Yiming, Centaur?”

Luo Yiming makes an ok sign: “Let me have Centaur. We’ve got to return them with more than one arrow for snatching Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!”***

“Our next pick will be Satan.” Jing Yu declares next.

Qin Fei “En”s once in response, locking Satan.

Fang Luofan: 【Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has been snatched by Amm. This isn’t just a light matter for PG. Despite that, PG still remains quite collected with their response, swiftly locking Satan and Centaur. Qin Fei’s Satan excels in both tanking and ganking, and Centaur can only be considered second to Camael and Dark Cupid as an OP marksman. Looking at the current line-up before us, both sides appear evenly-matched.】

Yoyo: 【Indeed! After the system change, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s survivability has been vastly cut. The moment a demon gets close, it’s easy for her to be ganked. She can also be considered a double-edged sword.】

Pausing here, 【DJss has now locked their second demon. The solo-laning demon Death God, and the other slot is – Mandala Petals?!】

Yoyo clearly sounds overwhelmed.

Upon seeing Mandala Petals, Fang Luofan’s equally startled, and it shows on his face: 【DJss actually gone for an assassin-class jungler… If I remember accurately, this should be their first time doing so in this tournament.】

Yoyo: 【It’s the first time Amm’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was revealed too. Hm, DJss, this team, sure have been hiding lots of cards up their sleeves.】

As for PG, after seeing Mandala Petals, rather than feeling shocked, the feeling of unsettlement is stronger.

Ye Hong: “Hn…… I think, in this round, it’s either they’ll pulverize us or they’ll keep sending heads to us continuously.”

Han Leng: “The former seems more likely?”

Jing Yu falls into a short silence, not bothering to care about them both. In the end, he casts the order there and then: “Lock Scarlet Fury and Merman.”

Ye Hong and Han Leng lock Scarlet Fury and Merman respectively. With this, PG only has their jungler left to pick.

Qin Fei flicks his eyes across this line-up, furrowing his brows lightly: “You’re using Moonshadow Spider?”

Jing Yu “En”s in response.

Luo Yiming: “Moonshadow Spider’s been slashed. Our line-up’s not too suitable for CC-ing either. Can we really do it?”

 

Jing Yu: “I also don’t know.”

Ye Hong: “Wah, suddenly, I’m a bit worried……”

DJss’s final two picks are True Arrow and Sariel. PG ends it off with Moonshadow Spider.

Upon seeing both teams’ line-ups, Fang Luofan can’t help but scrunch his brows: 【PG’s line-up this time will make it tough for them.】

Even Yoyo who’s only recently been introduced to 《Demon Lord》can spot it: 【Satan’s tanking ability is insufficient, Scarlet Fury’s AP is insufficient, Moonshadow Spider also doesn’t have a CC-class support to assist…… PG only has an advantage in the Bottom Lane during the earlier half. The latter half will probably be tough on them ba?】

Fang Luofan: 【In this match, it’ll all boil down to how Amm’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox performs.】

Following the pair’s summary, both teams enter the battlefield and the battle formally begins!

Since they’ve decided on a Mid-Laner-Jungler Co-op, shortly after clearing all monsters in the Bottom Jungle, Jing Yu swiftly infiltrates the Mid Lane’s bushes and prepares to gank the enemy Mid-laner.

While Ye Hong does lack the experience of facing off with Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, his operation skills and awareness are still present. After dodging the attack Nine-Tailed Demon Fox flings in his direction, he immediately opens counterattack. But the enemy uses a slippery motion-control to flawlessly dodge his ability!

Both parties were in a head-to-head situation for a long time. It’s easy to see that the enemy Mid-laner is extremely cautious. Even if Ye Hong intentionally lets his Scarlet Fury be struck by Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and puts on a show of fleeing, the enemy Mid-laner remains unbudgingly unmoved, shrinking under his turret in wait for the creeps rather than ganking.

After a couple failed attempts at kiting, Ye Hong’s can only give up. It’s not as if Jing Yu can lie in ambush forever within those bushes either, thus he swiftly Teleports to skip over the Mid Lane, intending to slaughter the monsters over at the Top Jungle.

In a heart-stopping moment, right when he Teleports to leave, a single purple blossom floats right at him – It’s Mandala Petals!

Jing Yu’s alarmed. Moving his mouse instantly to make his Moonshadow Spider dodge Mandala Petals’s Teleport impeccably, he responds with an impromptu Spiderweb and Maul, instantly knocking Mandala Petals who’s charging at him to half-blood!

【Goldfish’s quick-footed!】Fang Luofan can’t help lauding, 【Mandala Petals had quite a good timing when she leapt out, but Goldfish still dodged and counterattacked within that short space of time! Now then, Mandala Petals forks out Flash in attempt to escape to her turret. With Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s 2nd ability still left remaining, Moonshadow Spider doesn’t dare to gank and swiftly makes her leave, heading towards the Top Lane!】

Yoyo: 【It’s yet another close-call that ended without losses on both sides!】

Losses… Indeed, there may be none, but Jing Yu was frightened into cold sweat: “How could Mandala Petals have appeared there? Her current equipment isn’t enough to gank ba?”

If even a jungler like him is lost, how could the other members of PG have an answer for him?

The guessing game’s their only solution – After Qin Fei suppresses the enemy Death God and clears another creep wave, he even speaks up, deducing: “Amm knew you were in the bushes so he ignored Ye Zi’s attempts to kite. He even thought about getting the jungler on their side to ambush and gank you.”

 

“Gank me?” Jing Yu asks doubtfully.

“That’s right. Not ambushing the mid-laner but the jungler – Does this sound familiar?” Qin Fei chuckles lightly.

“It truly is……” Jing Yu recalls how when he ganks the bottom laners – He’d ambush not the mid-laner, but the jungler.

“This team has looked into us.” Of this, Qin Fei is quite sure about it, “Not only did they investigate and found a way to combat our style and strategies, they even studied and learnt to imitate them.”

Ye Hong: “They copied us?!”

Luo Yiming: “Fuck! How shameless are they?!”
1

Jing Yu: =_=

The facts shall show that Qin Fei’s guess is on the mark:

5 minutes into the game, the Demonic Disk refreshes and a mini-Team Battle erupts at the Bottom Lane. Seeing as if Luo YIming’s Centaur is close to conquering the Demonic Disk, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox makes an abrupt entry and Rages to toss Centaur, Merman, and Moonshadow Spider all in separate directions. Thereafter, she swiftly throws a Fireball at the Demonic Disk and finishes off that last bit of health on the Demonic Disk’s status bar!

Flashing to barge into the scene – This is Ye Hong’s absolute fave, and he never tires of it.

Using the Demon Fox’s self-defensive Rage as a CC – Only Ye Hong’s willing to take such a risk too, flirting with the lines of death artfully.

But to think all of this has been picked up by Amm!

In the end, this mini-Team Battle ended with DJss clinching victory with a 2-for-3. Centaur, Merman, Moonshadow Spider all keeled over dead on the ground whereas Ye Hong’s Scarlet Fury barely made it out with low HP.

Han Leng: “Yi? Ye Zi, could this Amm be a fan of yours?”

Ye Hong: “Wah, I don’t want such a capable fan! The pressure is too much!”

10 minutes into the game, the second Demonic Disk refreshes. DJss’ Marksman intends to snatch it but he’s discovered by Jing Yu. With a combo-attack, Jing Yu beats the enemy Marksman and Support senseless till they can’t tell top from bottom.

At this moment of time, Merman guards Centaur as they both barrels into the scene, intending to take down the two demons’ heads. But who would have thought? Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Flashes over once again, lunging close up to Rage then Ult and hurls her 1st ability. Okie, with this, the trio on PG’s side are all dragged down to low health!

Moonshadow Spider’s abilities have yet to cool down when the enemy Mandala Petals Teleports over and wildly flings her Poison Stack all around. It’s a free-for-all head-taking fest!

Ye Hong’s Scarlet Fury is at low blood and originally intending to retreat when he sees madly auspicious state of this Mahjong game down at the Bottom Lane. Thus, he decides to join in on the party! And he ends up sending his head on a silver platter.

Being the Solo-laner, Qin Fei probably couldn’t bear to watch on anymore. He suddenly blows into a fit, tower-diving to gank Death God, then charging down to the Bottom Lane post-haste, but ends up too late.

In the end, this Team Battle in the Bottom Lane ends with DJss winning with a 1-for-4, bringing the battle score up to 7 – 4. DJss’s in the lead with 7 heads!

And the MVP of this particular team battle is unquestionably Amm’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Again with the Flash to get close and release abilities tactic – All these little party tricks Ye Hong loves so much are all turned on PG by Amm. The effect really makes PG want itch badly to give their teammate an uppercut!

Luo Yiming: “Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s so fucking sickening!”

Ye Hong: “Shut up! I won’t let you cuss my lifeline!”

Han Leng: “Flashing to battle close-ranged is way too fucking disgusting!”

Ye Hong: “How’s that the case?! Look, it’s clearly so fun!”

Jing Yu gets a migraine from their bickering: “Ye Ge, wake up! Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is your enemy right now, not your lifeline!”

Ye Hong: “No! I just refuse to acknowledge it! Che! I just don’t believe I’d lose to him in a faceoff…… Aiyaya, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s so pretty.”

Jing Yu: =_=

“Wei.” Qin Fei speaks up suddenly, unable to keep it in at last. With a somewhat reluctant*** tone, he asks: “Did you know? In an offline match, they’re recording our voices?”

PG’s members: ! ! !


 

T/N ahahahha they're exposed now . As for DJss , I understand using  other people strategy  to clear games ,but this is 5v5 lol I don't think fully copying in 5v5 is gonna do much lol.
