Chapter 27: The Final Showdown, Off-Season
Chapter 27: The Final Showdown, Off-Season
"They can turn the tables!"
Faker showed no signs of panic; he simply began to consider the possibility of a comeback.
Draven was closing in from behind.
In Faker's mind, it was as if he could already see JKL's thoughts in the next instant.
It's simply a matter of using Draven's Q to burst damage, then following up with E and R to force out his ultimate, or flashing.
Or perhaps, they're betting that they won't react in time and that a sudden outburst will take them down.
"Let's see who's faster right here!"
"Who can gamble more, who can become stronger."
The all-in moment has arrived. How could Faker refuse an invitation initiated by JKL?
Before Draven's next axe strike, Faker had all his skills ready and activated his ultimate on JKL.
Forbidden Technique! Instant Shadow Killing Formation.
"Here it comes, the ultimate move!"
"But is the timing really that good? Draven still has his E skill available here!"
Picking up the microphone, Lin Kong knew that this was the most crucial moment for both sides.
Both JKL and Faker still have Flash available, but the situation is slightly better for JKL.
As long as you can use Flash to avoid Zed's Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, there will be no follow-up Zed and only certain death.
Is it a bit too early to unleash the ultimate move now?
JKL thought the same thing.
Zed used his ultimate too early!
"I have E and Flash. Do you think it's that easy to kill me?"
"Using your ultimate move so easily? You're going to die!"
"First, use E to cut you off, then use ER, and finally A to finish you off!"
JKL knew that Zed's ultimate could only land behind him, at the very last second.
Without any hesitation, I pressed the E key.
They didn't choose to use Flash, clearly understanding that crisis is opportunity!
JKL knew that Faker had Flash.
If you, as Draven, decisively use Flash + E, you'll most likely get outplayed by Faker's Flash.
But if it happens at the exact moment Faker's ultimate lands, then it's a different story.
Even if Faker flashes immediately after his ultimate lands, it will be difficult to avoid his own E skill, since the two are at close range.
If Draven's E skill grazes Faker, even if Faker flashes out afterward, he will have no way to avoid Draven's auto-attacks and ultimate.
"And there's insurance too!"
"Even if Zed flashes to avoid my E, I can still flash to avoid his QE burst."
"Definitely worth it!"
JKL had calculated everything perfectly, even planning his escape route in detail.
I guarantee this will be a great opportunity.
Draven unleashes his E skill, raising the axe from both hands, like a sharp blade aimed straight at the demon king's neck.
Unfortunately...
The next moment, the double axes swept across, leaving only the shadow of calamity in the air above the open space.
It seemed like mockery, like ridicule.
JKL, left standing still, momentarily froze...
Where are they?
Before JKL could react, Zed started spinning in circles.
"No, we have to get out of here!"
JKL was so startled that he lost his ability to judge the situation. Zed pressed his E skill, fearing the Q skill would come at any moment.
The moment the Flash is used, the outcome of the game is decided.
JKL regrets it too late.
The next second, Zed's figure finally came into view.
From the very beginning, the position where Faker seemingly made a mistake with his W skill is exactly where Faker is standing now.
"When the three flowers gather at the top of the head, even a god cannot save you!"
"It exploded!"
"Draven is down! Let's congratulate Zed and Faker!"
The SOLO match concluded with Wang Duoduo's commentary.
The game ended with Faker's complete victory!
"A trap! Draven has fallen into Faker's trap."
"Young people are still too hasty."
"When I saw Faker use his W skill, I thought it was the best opportunity to chase him down. I wanted to use the E-R combo to kill Faker right when his ultimate landed."
"Unexpectedly, they fell right into Faker's trap. The moment the ultimate landed, Faker swapped positions with the shadow of his W skill."
"Then use E skill to dodge Draven's Flash amidst the chaos, and finish him off with a triple-flower combo!"
"A perfectly linked plan, the killing move is complete!!!"
Holding the microphone, Lin Kong quickly explained everything that had happened in just a few breaths.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"When the three flowers gather at the top of the head, even a god can't save you!!!!"
"That's so cool! That's the Demon King for you! He can even turn the tables! Holy crap, that's awesome!!!"
"I didn't even see clearly what happened. How did Draven disappear?"
"Too fast, RWEQ, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top bursts out, followed by Flash A for an instant kill."
"Faker, faker, faker!"
"He's incredibly handsome."
The live chat exploded with excitement, as Faker's perfect Zed debut truly gave the audience what they wanted to see most.
The Demon King, driven to the brink of despair, launches a desperate counterattack!
"Oh dear, what a pity!!!"
"They're getting impatient, they're getting impatient. Just wait a little longer, until Faker's W shadow disappears, then they'll win, right?"
"You pressed Flash too early!"
Inside the IG base, there were only sounds of regret, and JKL shook his head helplessly.
I didn't feel any regret; it was just a solo performance.
Meanwhile, at the SKT base, Faker wore a faint smile.
The live stream audience was flooded with "OH!" comments, all amazed by his incredible composure and comeback.
"This Draven player is very good. His wave control and various mechanics are very detailed."
"You played very well, what a pity."
"If I had noticed my W shadow just now, I probably wouldn't have won so easily."
Faker remained humble, praising his opponent even though it was an absolute victory.
From his perspective, Draven was indeed playing exceptionally well.
This SOLO tournament featured some truly exceptional participants, making it quite interesting.
They continued to watch the game, seeing that Faker hadn't left.
The audience at the scene remained enthusiastic, and the number of viewers in Lin Kong's live broadcast room remained high.
Even during the time between games when the game ends, the number of views can still be maintained above 20.
The bloodthirsty audience was already mesmerized.
In the final match, Zuo Shou defeated the streamer Xiao Yu Ren with absolute ease.
Until the moment of victory, not only was the CS lead 30, but the kill was almost a full-health kill, and the little fish with the perfect three-handed range just wanted to die.
The audience was stunned by Zuo Shou's superb performance.
"What a child prodigy!"
"No wonder everyone says KG is smurfing in LSPL, their laning skills are ridiculously strong."
"That's an exaggeration, that Little Fishman streamer is a top ten player in the Chinese server."
"I always said the KG owner was grinning from ear to ear. With this mid laner, I'd be laughing too!"
The performance with his left hand truly amazed the audience.
After finishing his left-handed move, Lin Kong announced that the first Martial Arts SOLO Tournament would determine the top 100!
"The top 100 contestants have been determined. In order to ensure the event is exciting and to give the contestants time to prepare, the competition will begin its off-season tomorrow."
"The second stage of the martial arts tournament will begin in ten days, on March 3rd!"
As soon as the news was released, the live stream chat was flooded with comments.
"What?"
"You can't watch it anymore!!!"
"Wow, I was really enjoying it!"
"Why can't I watch it anymore? Do I need to subscribe to VIP? I'll subscribe right now!"
Lin Kong offered no explanation, only announcing that the next stage of the competition would take place from March 3rd to March 13th, marking the start of the second phase of the martial arts tournament, before ending the live broadcast.
As planned, the company successfully employed a hunger marketing strategy that left all viewers eager for more.
I've eaten cornbread my whole life, and it's so rare to have a big meal like this.
Now they're telling me the big meal has been cancelled and I have to eat cornbread instead?
Absolutely not!
