Before the start of the 3rd round, Amm was truly under the belief that he would be able to suppress Ye Hong’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

 

Afterall, so long as it’s a demon used by Ye Hong, he’d spent a great deal of time studying and imitating them.6

 

Be it Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Scarlet Fury, or Spirit Ward, they’re all demons he’s familiar with and adept at playing.

 

Therefore, he’d thought – Since Ye Hong was able to use Spirit Ward to keep his Scarlet Fury in check, why can’t he use Spirit Ward to do the same with Ye Hong’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?

 

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s survivability falls short of Scarlet Fury’s by more than just a little. The moment she’s CC-ed, it basically spells death for her.

 

But unexpectedly, when it comes to the actual match:

 

In the Mid Lane, Spirit Ward uses Thousand Returns and Nine-Tailed Demon Fox does a beautiful manoeuvre with her slippery motion-control to dodge. Spirit Ward decides to make it or break it. He Flashes over with the intention of releasing Thousand Silks, thinking there’s now zero possibility of missing. In fact, even Moonshadow Spider who’s been laying in ambush in the bushes charges out in preparation to take down a head. But unexpectedly, two demons flank Nine-Tailed Demon Fox at the eleventh hour and before they get the chance to release either of their abilities, they’re blasted away by a single Fox Demon Rage!

 

Right after that, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Ults, follows it with a 1st ability, and bashes the two of them down to low HP!

 

“How many years do you think I’ve played Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?” Ye Hong’s fingers fly over the keyboard agilely, throwing out all sorts of motion-control and combo-attacks, “Alright. It’s a Double Kill.”

 

Just when he said that and was intending to finish the pair off, Burial Sword skips by leisurely.

 

【System】Burial Sword, First Kill!

 

【System】The enemy Spirit Ward has been slain!

 

【System】Burial Sword, Double Kill!

 

【System】The enemy Moonshadow Spider has been slain!

 

“……”

 

It is indeed a Double Kill. It’s just not his.7

 

Ye Hong’s torn between tears and laughter: “Little Goldfish, you……”

 

Jing Yu: “Topple the towers.”

 

Ye Hong: “……Coming.”

 

The two players crumple the enemy’s first tower in the Mid Lan before nine-tailde demon fox safely retreats to replenish his health. Burial Sword continues to run wild in the four Jungles belonging to both

 

It’s only been a few minutes since the battle begun. PG’s gold is already far and ahead of DJss’.

 

The Top Lane’s simply a replay of the two previous battles. Qin Fei’s Satan pressures Death God into shrinking beneath his turret through it all. Then, the newly revived Moonshadow Spider heads over to help but it’s only trapped in with him too. Afterall, after being killed by Burial Sword multiple times, her level and gold already can’t catch up to anyone’s.

 

Down at the Bottom Lane, Luo Yiming does the same as always and throws himself whole-heartedly into battling close-range. As for the True Arrow he’s using, one point about him is that though his sniping range’s short, his AD’s high, therefore though he’s not an OP marksman, he just so happens to compliment Luo Yiming’s style. In a face-off with Centaur, he doesn’t seem to flinch at all.

 

In this round, PG trounces their opponents in all three Top, Bottom and Mid Lanes, making it gruelling for DJss.

 

At the 17-minute mark, when PG destroyed the second tower in the Mid Lane, they discovered DJss’ Marksman and Jungler in the midst of conquering the Demonic Disk down at the Bottom Jungle. PG swiftly changes gears to gather up at the Dragon’s Den!

 

“Conquer it in one go!” Jing Yu roars, making Burial Sword barrel into the bushes and weave in and out, preventing the guys from DJss from coming to snatch.

 

DJss naturally wouldn’t let them snatch the Dragon as they please. When Spirit Ward who’s hiding in the bushes sees Burial Sword coming towards him, he takes the first strike and releases his ability – Thousand Silks!

【CC-ed!】Yoyo exclaims at the top of her lungs, 【Spirit Ward has CC-ed Burial Sword! Nevertheless, Burial Sword has Release…… Huh? He’s not using it?!】
 

 Though Jing Yu’s Burial Sword clearly has Release, he doesn’t use it and forcibly waits out the CC. Once it loses effect, he makes his now half-health Burial Sword Teleport to get into the Dragon’s Den.

 

Right at this very moment, Moonshadow Spider who’s conquered the Demonic Disk charges straight into the Den. With Death God’s assistance, Spirit Ward is also hot on Burial Sword’s heels and invades the Dragon’s Den. The members of PG immediately stop attacking the Dragon to turn all their attacks on them.

 

Nine-Tailed Demon Fox releases his Ultimate. Nine fox tails haphazardly writhe and shoots towards Spirit Ward!

 

Spirit Ward also uses his Ult – Doll Switching Art returns every attack on him!

 

Sariel also swiftly Ults! Blood-Lock Speed-Booster causes Spirit Ward’s rebounding attacks to be ineffective, therefore protecting Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

 

This series of consecutive Ultimates simply bedazzles and messes up one’s eyes. In the end, the final result is – Nobody loses any significant amount of blood.

 

At last, Moonshadow Spider arrives on the scene and Spirit Ward releases 2nd ability Thousand Returns with the intention of deceiving PG of their Release, but quite unexpectedly – Burial Sword Defends!

 

 

Again with this. It’s yet another ability that was completely negated. Amm’s about to lose hs mind.

 

Moonshadow Spider can’t wait another second for him and throws out Shadow Flash followed by Spiderweb to CC PG, but before she’s even able to launch into that combo-attack, the members of PG are Released!

 

Burial Sword’s Release was used at this critical period. After Releasing, he swiftly Teleports over to the startled Moonshadow Spider’s side and hurtles a combo over at her. As if triggered by his attack, the other members of PG also collectively set Moonshadow Spider alit with attacks!

 

The miserable assassin squishy thus keels over and dies without even lasting a second.

 

【System】True Arrow, First Kill!

 

【System】The enemy Moonshadow Spider has been slain!

 

“The Jungler’s dead! Kill the Dragon!” With one single order from Jing Yu, PG no longer gives a damn about the nearby Death God and Spirit Ward, not even batting an eye at Centaur who finally rushes to the scene as they madly attack the Dragon.

 

He’s actually ignored? Centaur expresses his displeasure by Ulting to smash into the Dragon’s Den, intending to off Burial Sword. But Nine-Tailed Demon Fox swipes out a single Demon Fox Rage to blow him away and in the next beat, Satan switches his target to use all his unused abilities from just now, finishing it off with an Ult to slaughter Centaur!

 

【System】Satan, First Kill!

 

【System】The enemy Centaur has been slain!

 

With the Dragon’s health sliding down at a dangerous pace, the lucky survivors of DJss also can’t be bothered to harass PG anymore. They also begin to attack the Demonic Dragon. The moment they see the Demonic Dragon at low health, they’ll all fork out their remaining abilities!

 

Yet dreams are always so beautiful. Burial Sword uses a single Smite and simply finishes off that last bit of the Demonic Dragon’s blood, rendering every single last one of their attacks useless.

 

【System】Burial Sword has conquered the Demonic Dragon!

 

【System】The Dragon Army is infiltrating the Battlefield!

 

Yoyo: 【PG got the Dragon!】

 

Fang Luofan: 【LD’s setting is as such – No ability can out-snatch a Jungler’s Smite.】

 

Yoyo: 【So Burial Sword intentionally kept his Release till Moonshadow Spider appeared so as to kill Moonshadow Spider?!】

 

Fang Luofan: 【En, with DJss’ Jungler dead, there’s no one else on field who can use Smite.】

 

Yoyo: 【My God…… Player Goldfish’s seriously seeing too far into the future ba!】

 

Fang Luofan: 【Haha! Perhaps to him, this doesn’t even require much thought ne.】

 

 

Isn’t the Release equipped for the sake of combating Moonshaodw spider?

 

Since it’s quite obvious Moonshadow Spider would come to Snatch the Dragon after conquering the Demonic Disk, it’s only natural to save Release for until she arrives.

 

--Jing Yu’s line of thought is just that simple.

 

Be that as it may, for a lot of players, their instinctive reaction after being CC-ed would be to Release. Even if they intellectually know Moonshadow Spider would come to Snatch the Dragon, they wouldn’t dare to take their health for a joke.

 

--Take for example, Jing Yu’s Burial Sword had a little over half his blood slashed away by Spirit Ward and Death God after being CC-ed.

 

After conquering the Demonic Dragon, the members of PG promptly switch their targets to take care of the rest of DJss’ “lucky” survivors.

 

Qin Fei’s Satan spearheads the movement while Luo Yiming’s True Arrow and Ye Hong’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox flank him and attack from the sides. Meanwhile, Han Leng’s Sariel orientates between Speed-Booster and opening Shield, and Jing Yu’s Burial Sword in-charge of finishing off anyone.

When these five stand together, they bulldoze over the survivors of DJss with a formidable air that was impossible to challenge. Their tasks clearly distributed, their formation is flawless!

 

In the end, they manage to get a 0-for-4 and only DJss’ Support slips at low health.

 

Ye Hong can do nothing but watch as the members of his team secure kill after kill. Don’t talk about pentakilling. The number of heads he’s gotten is actually outmatched even by the Solo-laner Satan?!1

 

Ye Hong finally gives up: “Huan, you guys. You’re seriously too much. I got Nine-Tailed Demon Fox for once. Can’t you just let me show off a bit?”

 

Han Leng: “Your slashed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox managed to crush a boosted Spirit Ward overwhelming. Contend with just that ba!”

 

Qin Fei chuckles: “Chi! Who’s not letting you show off? You’re the one who’s become a veggie after not playing it for so long. Who’re you tossing the pot to?”

 

Jing Yu can’t help but burst out in laughter. Ye Hong’s also torn between tears and laughter.

 

Yoyo: 【After conquering the Demonic Dragon, PG destroys all of DJss’ towers without letting out! I think they’re going to win now!】1

 

Fang Luofan: 【The members of DJss have just revived. Can they protect their last Stronghold?】

 

On the large screen before them, the revived DJss are clearing the Dragon Army systematically in an orderly fashion. Not only are they not panicking, every operation is follows closely one after another. They’re simply able to rival PG.

 

As they’ve got the advantage of being in their Stronghold and could return to the Fountain at any time to replenish their health and MP, DJss still throws in their all to go against PG – After Spirit Ward CC’s PG’s backlines, Moonshadow Spider barrels forward and finally manages to use her combo-attack completely, accomplishing a Double Kill! The ones who’re slain are Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and True Arrow, while the others are knocked to low HP.

 

 

Satan and Burial Sword team up to kill off Moonshadow Spider. Then under Sariel’s protection, they disperse and retreat.

 

“Conquer the Phoenix!” Jing Yu roars, charging towards the Hades Phoenix together with Satan. Both demons are left with only a skin of blood. They’ve got to continuously use motion-control to dodge the Hades Phoenix’ attacks, but it’s no matter. DJSS still has their hands full with clearing the Dragon Army. They’re totally too preoccupied to come interfere with them, so they can take their time with this.

 

At last—

 

【System】Burial Sword has conquered the Hades Phoenix!

 

【System】Nirvana Flames has been acquired!

 

Nirvana Flames tops up their blood. It is also capable of instant revival for their teammates, and can reduce any critical damage just once.

 

The members of PG are all revived. Satan and Burial Sword’s blood are also beginning to replenish themselves. The five demons surge towards DJss’s Stronghold in an orderly fashion and attacks it.

 

This time, DJss’ no longer able to cling on and are simply killed off by PG within their own Stronghold.

 

Ye Hong’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox gets a quadrakill. Although he never did get a pentakill in the end, he’s already quite content.

 

Frankly speaking, the moment Nine-Tailed Demon Fox came into his hands, he’s already got no regrets.

 

This may very well be his last time getting Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in this season.

 

But even so…… What’s wrong with that? It’s just the pro-league anyways. He can still use her to his heart’s content in casual games!

 

“Victory”, this large and golden word blows up on the wide screen. It is as eye-catching as it is exciting.

 

The venue’s filled with thunderous cheers and shrieks reaching an all-time high. Many like Zhis simply steps up on their chairs, screeching at the top of their lungs.

 

And yet, while all Zhis screams is “GOLDFISH, YOU’RE AWESOME!”, their yells are all, “YE ZI, YOU’RE HECKUVA AWESOME!”, “NINE-TAILED DEMON FOX, YOU GO!”, “PG, YER FABULOUS!”

 

Fang Luofan also can’t reign in his own joy: 【They’ve won! PG beats DJss with a score of 2 – 1! Congratulations to PG on entering the semi-finals of the Elimination Round! Also, let’s thank the two teams for giving the wonderful game we’ve just seen!】

 

At this particular moment, the transparent domes covering the two teams open up. The two teams are shaken out of the atmosphere in-game. Upon laying eyes on the crowd that’re just going nuts, they can’t help but also be riled, feeling their blood surging in the excitement.

 

Yoyo: 【After taking all strategies into account, Ye Zi’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is this round’s MVP! There’s not much to say – Ye Zi’s Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is just too amazing! Amm’s Spirit Ward was only able to CC her once throughout the entire match!】

 

Ye Hong feels a little embarrassed being praised like that. He raises a hand to rub his face. Just when he’s about to say something playful to express his current feelings, someone beats him to the chase. A person from the other team rips off his headphones and violently charges towards him!

 

What situation is this?! He can’t beat him in-game so he’s coming for a Real-Life PK?!

 

Ye Hong turns tail about to run, only to be hauled back by the back of his collar by Qin Fei: “Have a little guts!”

 

Qin Fei screeches then releases Ye Hong. He blocks him with his frame before catching the eye of the youth before him on full alert – This youth who’d just charged over is DJss’ Amm. The 17-year-old’s barely able to reach Qin Fei’s collarbone in height.

 

Be it on the photograph or the video, he’d seemed like a cold-faced youth. But at this very moment, he’s clearly somewhat riled up. Not only is his face slightly flushed, there’s even tears budding at the corners of his eyes.

 

Subsequently under Qin Fei’s wary gaze, he turns towards Ye Hong and shouts emotionally: “YE GE! I’VE LIKED YOU FOR A LONG TIME! YOU’RE TOO AMAZING! CAN – CAN YOU GIVE ME AN AUTOGRAPH?!”11

 

Ye Hong: O.O
