When Ye Shaoyang first joined Tianheng, there were many rumors about the bad relationship between Ye Shaoyang and Qujiang. Some people said that Ye Shaoyang got the position through nepotism and squeezed out Qujiang's midlaner. There must be something going on inside the team. Otherwise, how could a rookie from Lieyang be the starting midlaner? Why would Qujiang, a player who rarely made mistakes, switch to support?
Today, there was an answer to all these questions.
When Coach Lin saw the two hugging, he was very pleased.
When Qujiang gave up the midlaner position that he had played for three years to a rookie, Qujiang must have felt wronged. However, he had always been easy-going and had a good temper, so he accepted the team's arrangement.
Today, Ye Shaoyang used his actions to tell Qujiang, "In my heart, you are also an excellent midlaner. I have never looked down on you. You can be my right-hand man. Let's kill our opponents together! "
Whether he was a midlaner or a support, he was an indispensable member of Tianheng!
Qujiang won the MVP for the first time and proved his strength.
This victory was very satisfying. The morale of all the Tianheng players was high. Cheng Xing was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Coach Lin came to the soundproof room to cheer the players on. "The second game was very good. From this game, we can see that Northern Shepherd is not invincible. Their three lanes are very strong, but they also have weaknesses. Our Tianheng is not worse than Northern Shepherd. "
In fact, Tianheng's overall strength was not as good as Northern Shepherd's, especially in the Archer position.
The key to winning the second game was their lineup. Northern Shepherd's Warriors had short legs, while Tianheng's two Cs had a very long attack range. As long as their opponents could not catch up to them, they could exhaust their opponents.
But Northern Shepherd was not stupid. They would definitely adjust their lineup for the third game.
Zhao Xinping's strongest hero was not a Warrior … but an Archer.
The players sat down. Coach Lin smiled and said, "In the third game, bring out your favorite hero and fight with all your might. Try your best to fight with the Northern Shepherd. Only by fighting head-on will you be able to discover the problem with our bodies. "
In the soundproof room of Northern Shepherd, the coach's expression was calm. "The two-warrior system does indeed have the disadvantage of having short legs. In the second round, I made a mistake in my BP. I couldn't catch up to the opponent and was kited to death. In the third round, Xinping will be the shooter. "
Zhao Xinping nodded. "Okay."
She started out as an Archer and only switched to Warrior when she competed in the World Duo Competition with Zhao Xinan in S8.
It was easier for two Warriors to win the two-player competition. After all, Archers were too fragile and died easily. The siblings had also made it to the world finals in S8 and won the two-player competition. They were awarded the honorary title of "Professional Ninth Dan".
In the whole of China, there were only six ninth-dan players who had not retired yet. Chi Shuo and Xu Zhuo were the champions of the world singles competition. Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan, Zhao Xinping and Zhao Xinan were the champions of the world doubles competition.
Being able to win the world championship was enough to prove the player's individual strength.
Zhao Xinping's Warrior side lane had achieved good results in the world competition, but she actually liked Archers the most. This season, her data had always been number one on the Archer Ranking. She was not at a disadvantage when it came to one-on-one matches with international level Archers.
The two-player system could no longer be used in the final round.
Zhao Xinping's best Archer was to fight Tianheng head-on. Their chances of winning would be higher.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. The third round of Tianheng vs Northern Shepherd is about to begin. Let's go to the BP of the third round!"
"Tianheng returned to the blue side and prioritized to ban the protective support [Light of Blessing]. Northern Shepherd banned the wild core [Stealthed Thief]!"
"Tianheng's second ban is [Radiant Shield], which is also a protective support. Northern Shepherd's second ban is [Lord of the Abyss], which is a stab."
"From the BP, all the positions of Archers have been revealed. Is Northern Shepherd going to pick Archers? After all, Warriors are not afraid of [Stealthed Thief]. Only Archers are afraid of this kind of hidden stab that can cut into the backline. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the two sides began to choose.
Tianheng's first floor snatched [Wind Spirit] and secured Cheng Xing's Archer position.
Northern Shepherd followed up with [Sharpshooter] and [Berserker], which were Archers + Top Laners.
"Northern Shepherd picked Archers and went to the bottom lane! Xinping's Archer has appeared again. She's currently the number one Archer in China. Her [Sharpshooter] is a true Sniper God. Her bullet hit rate is almost 99%! "
Yaoguang's Yumao had previously faked a match and used [Sharpshooter] to get a fake pentakill, which was praised to the heavens by his fans. In reality, the strongest [Sharpshooter] in China had always been Zhao Xinping. Her results in the national server were unsurpassed.
This was also the hero that made her famous.
The valiant Female Captain A, the calm Sniper, the S7 Best Newcomer Award, and the S8 World Pairs Champion, Zhao Xinping.
She had countless fans, and her number of fans was no less than the number of old players like Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing.
When they saw her Sharpshooter appear, deafening screams and applause rang out in the stadium. Some fans even shouted, "Sister, I want to give birth to your children!"
This caused the crowd to burst into laughter.
Coach Lin had already thought of this outcome when he picked the Archer position. He looked at Chi Shuo and said, "Chi Shuo, we need to choose a jungler who can break into the backline to kill her. Should we take [Bloodcloak Thorn]?"
Chi Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Bloodcloak Thorn is too fragile. It's safer to take [Ninja]."
Coach Lin nodded and said, "Alright. Floor 3 will take the mid laner. Yangyang will take [Goddess of Destiny] and [Ninja]. Chi Shuo will take all the economy in the jungle. "
Ye Shaoyang: "No problem."
Tianheng's second and third floor took down [Ninja] and [Goddess of Destiny], a pair of mid laners. It was obvious that they were targeting Zhao Xinping's Archer position. Then, Bei Sheyan took down the mid laner [Dark Witch] on floor 3.
Xiao En had trained this hero in the international server before. He could send out a clone of himself, the "Puppet Wizard", to occupy a good position in advance. Then, he could use a big move, "Lich's Calamity", which could cause AOE magic damage. He could also switch positions with his own puppet and control it more flexibly.
Ye Shaoyang laughed and said, "He really cracked this time."
Cheng Xing said, "That's right. The Dark Witch can split into two heroes, haha. You can't type in the game. Otherwise, Xiao En would have sent an emoji right now. "
Qujiang said, "It's okay. I'll edit the video later and add an emoji package for him."
The atmosphere in Tianheng was very relaxed. There was no sense of tension in the competition.
In the second stage, Tianheng began to target junglers. They took out two tools, [Fighter] and [Knight]. Bei Sheyan, on the other hand, took out [Vampire Duke] and [Kung Fu Master], the two Warriors that Old Qin liked recently.
Bei Sheyan chose support [White Bear] on floor 4. Tianheng took down support [Paladin] and top laner [Black Dragon Knight] on floor 4/5. The two Knights were the bodyguards of the team. A team battle lineup must be honest.
Bei Sheyan took down jungler [King of Fighters] as the last counter. He could be played as a tool. He could work with White Bear to stun the opponent's key position and help his teammates deal damage.
Both sides began to exchange heroes quickly.
Brother Dong analyzed, "In the final round, both sides chose more conventional lineups. Tianheng has two frontliners: top laner and support, and three DPS in the mid laner. Bei Sheyan has two frontliners: jungler and support, and three DPS in the warrior, mid laner, and archer. Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. It's hard to say who will win in the team battle. "
Mumu teased, "The archer is still the key in this round. In the team battle, both sides will definitely have archers. Bei Sheyan has a lot of control skills. White Bear can stun someone by sitting on him, King of Fighters can stun someone with a punch, and Berserker can stun someone with a slash. Little Star is really going to faint! "
Brother Dong smiled and said, "That's why he brought [Purify] this round. He's full of desire to survive."
The camera was aimed at Cheng Xing, who was in the soundproof room. Little Star's hands were typing rapidly on the keyboard. The game had not started yet, but he was typing blindly. While he was maintaining the feel of the keyboard, he was also showing off the colorful light effects on the keyboard. The young boy did not look nervous at all. His mouth opened and closed, but no one knew what he was saying.
Mumu said, "Looks like Tianheng's players are in good shape. Bei Sheyan is also very relaxed. Let's enter the final battle between Tianheng and Bei Sheyan!"
The game officially began.
The pace of the third round was obviously faster than the previous two rounds.
It was not that both sides were in a hurry to win this round, but that both sides wanted to take the initiative and control the situation.
Chi Shuo had invaded Bei Sheyan's jungle in the previous two rounds. In this round, Bei Sheyan took the initiative and invaded Tianheng's blue buff. Tianheng quickly defended.
Both sides pulled at each other in the jungle for a long time. Zhao Xinan's Berserker was very aggressive. He was known as "Mad Dog" and would fight with his life on the line with his sword. Even though Old Qin's Knight had high defense, he was still cut to pieces and had to retreat.
Chi Shuo beat the opposing jungler to a critical level. Xiao En and Ye Shaoyang were both wearing each other down. Their health was also below half.
Zhao Xinan's Q skill refreshed. Chi Shuo immediately said, "Retreat!"
Once the Berserker came over with his sword, the two squishy players would probably die here.
Chi Shuo let go of his blue buff and quickly went to steal the opponent's blue buff. After getting the blue buff, he came back to his own team to attack red. The start of the game with two buffs was not bad. However, in the battle in the jungle just now, Old Qin had to use Blink in order to escape and suffered a small loss.
Chi Shuo reminded him, "Old Qin, be careful. The opposing mid laner might catch you."
Without Blink in the top lane, the mid laner went over to support. With Xiao En and Zhao Xinan's damage output, even the thickest tank could be killed, let alone a tank that did not have any defensive equipment in the early game.
Qin Yizhu immediately said, "Understood. I'll play dirty."
In the bottom lane, it was a 2v2 with the support of the archers.
Cheng Xing obviously felt a lot of pressure. Zhao Xinping's Snipe hit rate was too high. Although Qujiang had been blocking bullets for Cheng Xing in front, Zhao Xinping was always able to find an opportunity to bypass Qujiang's Snipe and avoid Cheng Xing's Snipe.
Sharpshooter was a very strong hero in the lane. In the early game, without any equipment, he could snipe away 40% of the squishy archer's health. After being shot twice by him, they had to go back home. Otherwise, the next shot would leave their heads behind.
Cheng Xing was shot twice and had no choice but to go back home.
Qujiang blocked the creeps under the tower and waited for Cheng Xing to attack. However, Cheng Xing went back home to replenish his health and rushed to the top lane. It would take more than ten seconds. Two creeps were shot down by the tower and Cheng Xing did not have time to heal them. With the two creeps missing and the River Crab, his level was already one level behind Zhao Xinping.
Chi Shuo looked at the situation in the bottom lane and said, "Little Xing, hold on. Wait for me to reach level 6 and help the bottom lane."
After all, Sister Xinping was the number one Sharpshooter in the country. It was normal to be at a disadvantage when fighting against her. Cheng Xing was not afraid of being at a disadvantage. As long as he did not die, he could slowly grow to the late game.
Soon, Chi Shuo was the first to reach level 6 and quickly came to the bottom lane. Ye Shaoyang also came to support the bottom lane.
Xiao En prompted, "Mid laner MISS."
Zhao Xinping said, "They're definitely coming to catch me. Retreat."
She retreated very decisively and directly retreated to the jungle with the support. Tianheng's wave of attempts to catch him failed. Fortunately, Cheng Xing, who had been suppressed all this time, took the opportunity to push the creeps over. At least he had time to catch his breath.
At the same time, Old Qin on the top lane also retreated quickly. North Shepherd's mid laner and jungler also missed the top lane.
The commentator said, "The players on both sides have a keen sense of smell and retreated in time. In this wave of attempts, both sides' junglers failed to catch him and only managed to push the creeps. However, if North Shepherd's jungler appears in the top lane, will he let go of the Lil Dino? "
Chi Shuo indeed started to fight the Lil Dino.
Tianheng's four people were fighting the Lil Dino in the bottom lane. Suddenly, the opposing support threw a White Bear over. The White Bear did not stun them, but it gave them a clear view of the Lil Dino. Immediately after, a super long-range bullet was shot over with a "bang". The Lil Dino was already at low health. Chi Shuo was about to punish him, but he was killed by Sharpshooter's snipe!
The audience cheered as North Shepherd's fans crazily shouted Zhao Xinping's name.
Yao Mu said excitedly, "Sister Xinping is really cool! I thought she was going to go home, but in the end, she squatted by the blue buff and used a super long-range snipe to catch the Lil Dino off guard! "
Brother Dong praised, "Sharpshooter is the easiest hero to catch the Lil Dino. After all, her reach is too long. It's really not easy to catch the Lil Dino from Captain Chi! "
Chi Shuo said calmly, "It's mine."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's just a small Lil Dino. We'll catch the big Lil Dino later."
The Lil Dino did not have much of an impact, and the initial economic bonus was not much. Chi Shuo discovered Zhao Xinping's position and quickly chased her to the opposite jungle. He forced Zhao Xinping to use Blink and then snatched the blue buff from the opposite side. It was not a big loss.
Everyone returned to their respective lanes and continued to develop.
After a while, the junglers from both sides finished killing the second wave of monsters. Xiao En said, "Mid laner missed, should we catch it?"
Zhao Xinping: "Let's see how it goes."
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo once again supported the bottom lane. North Shepherd's jungler and mid laner also came to the bottom lane.
The audience with God's view saw that both sides were quickly gathering in the bottom lane, and the battle was about to start.
This time, Zhao Xinping did not retreat. She squatted under the tower, narrowed her eyes, and blind-sniped the bushes!
Ye Shaoyang was hiding in the bushes.
North Shepherd did not have the vision of the bushes, but she guessed that Ye Shaoyang would come to catch her, so she blind-sniped. As expected, she sniped [Goddess of Destiny], who was hiding there. Ye Shaoyang's lips curled up slightly. Since you've discovered me, I don't need to be angry! He pressed the notification to initiate the attack, then blinked into the tower and stunned Zhao Xinping with a talisman!
Qujiang quickly followed up to tank the damage from the tower, and Ye Shaoyang instantly killed Zhao Xinping with a burst of attacks.
However, because Zhao Xinping had just sniped him, he was also at low health and was killed by the tower.
— — [Tianheng Lieyang (Goddess of Destiny) killed North Shepherd Xinping (Sharpshooter)]
— — [North Shepherd Xinping (Sharpshooter) killed Tianheng Lieyang (Goddess of Destiny)]
Two messages popped up one after the other.
Then, more and more messages appeared on the screen.
— — [North Shepherd Xiao En (Dark Witch) killed Tianheng Fanxing (Wind Elf)]
In less than two seconds, another kill notification popped up.
— — [Tianheng Shuoyue (Ninja) killed North Shepherd Xiao En (Dark Witch)]
The pace of this 4v4 battle was too fast. In the blink of an eye, two people had died. The two commentators did not even have time to react, and the caster immediately replayed it in slow motion. Mumu could not help but sigh. "Both sides are fighting fiercely! Lieyang is still so stubborn. He blinked under the tower and replaced the opponent's archer. After all, the archer is the core of North Shepherd. It's not a loss for him to trade his life for his. "
"North Shepherd's jungler rushed over and controlled Little Star. Xiao En immediately followed up and killed Little Star. Chi Dui, who was lying in ambush, followed up and killed Xiao En. "
"This two for two fight is very exciting. Both sides are stubborn!"
"In such an intense game, the audience will also be more enthusiastic."
Compared to the slow operation of both sides to drag the pace of the battle, this kind of direct confrontation, instant kill, and intense team battle was indeed more exciting from the perspective of the audience.
The audience applauded continuously.
The midlaners and archers of both sides died and returned home. After reviving, they each cleared a wave of minions. Immediately after, Xiao En and Ye Shaoyang shouted at the same time, "Midlaner MISS."
Zhao Xinping: "Again?"
Cheng Xing: "Again!"
The bottom lane became very lively. Both sides were fighting 4v4 again.
This time, Zhao Xinping's positioning was more cautious. Before the team battle began, she directly sniped Qujiang in the front row. Ye Shaoyang wanted to kill her, but she blinked and sniped Ye Shaoyang.
Ye Shaoyang was not willing to let her go even though he was low on health. He carried the tower and continued to chase after her. Chi Shuo's Ninja split into a shadow and quickly moved to catch up with Zhao Xinping, killing her in one hit.
As soon as Zhao Xinping died, Ye Shaoyang died as well.
Yao Mu was speechless. "Is Yangyang trading his life for hers?"
Brother Dong smiled and said, "Actually, Lieyang's strategy is not wrong. [Goddess of Destiny] doesn't need much money, and her skill damage is more dependent on her level. Therefore, it won't affect her much if she dies a few times. However, if [Sharpshooter] doesn't have enough money, she won't be able to deal any damage in the later stages when Tianheng's front row has defensive equipment. "
They were both dying. Goddess of Destiny's death didn't affect them much, but the Sharpshooter's death had a huge impact.
Then why not switch?
Ye Shaoyang stared at Zhao Xinping and switched kills in this game. It's fine if you kill me, but it's not a loss if my teammates can kill you.
Zhao Xinping's economic development was seriously affected after being killed twice in a row.
Of course, Cheng Xing wasn't any better. The opposing jungler and Xiao En teamed up to attack him. Qujiang couldn't protect him even if she used a substitute. After Xiao En "split," the Dark Witch's split body chased after Cheng Xing. Cheng Xing's multiple positions couldn't move at all under the encirclement of the Dark Witch's two split-bodies.
In the livestream, the netizens were excitedly spamming the screen.
Shooters on both sides: Should we uninstall the game?
The survival environment for Shooters is really too difficult.
This game is going all out. They don't care about their operations and just fight head-on? It doesn't seem like Tianheng.
It's the last game of the regular season. Let's just fight!
Actually, it wasn't that Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo didn't want to drag on their operations. It was just that the lineup for this game was meant for fighting. Coach Lin also said, "Try to fight as much as possible with the Northern Shepherd team. Fight with all your might."
Only in a team battle could they discover the problem with Tianheng's coordination. It was good for them to fight as more teams.
There was nothing to be afraid of. They would fight as soon as they met.
15 minutes into the game, the number of kills on both sides had reached 88.
Most of the kills were in the bottom lane. Both sides were focusing on the bottom lane.
In the audience area backstage, Xie Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "This game is so exciting. They've been fighting as a team all this time. Usually, 44 kills at this time is already quite intense. It's already 88 today. "
Coach Chen also sighed. "Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen Tianheng fight so hot-blooded."
20 minutes into the game, both sides' towers in the bottom lane and top lane were destroyed. They collectively moved to the middle lane.
Zhao Xinan and Qin Yizhu, who had been watching the show in the top lane, were finally able to join the team.
This time, Tianheng took the initiative. Qin Yizhu suddenly blinked and jumped into the crowd with a big move. He used Black Dragon's Roar to control the enemy's backline. Qujiang blinked and used Shield Bash to seamlessly control the enemy's backline. The two of them linked their skills very well and controlled Xiao En and the jungler.
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo followed closely and attacked the mid laner first.
Cheng Xing used his big move and jumped around quickly. He shot a few enhanced normal attacks, but Zhao Xinan kept staring at him. In the short one second when Cheng Xing's jump skill refreshed, Zhao Xinan suddenly seized the opportunity and rushed over. He activated Berserk and quickly killed Cheng Xing with two slashes!
On Northern Shepherd's side, Xiao En was killed by Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo.
Zhao Xinping was too far away and couldn't see where she was. He shot a bullet from a very long distance and accurately sniped Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang only had a sliver of health left. Chi Shuo immediately covered him and retreated.
Zhao Xinping crouched down and continued to aim. Just as the bullet was about to kill Ye Shaoyang, Old Qin suddenly moved to the side and blocked the bullet. Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo retreated back home. Old Qin was killed by Da and Xiao Zhao.
In the team battle, one for two. Tianheng's jungler retreated with low health.
The towers in the middle lane and outside were destroyed. Northern Shepherd quickly invaded the jungler to grab resources and then went to fight the dragon.
In the end, after Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang went back home to heal, they immediately rushed to the dragon's respawn point. Ye Shaoyang suddenly blinked over and used a talisman to freeze the jungler in the dragon pit. Chi Shuo's shadow clone quickly rushed forward and attacked from behind with a critical hit. Then, he used Punishment and snatched the dragon!
Zhao Xinping: "…"
The live audience: "…"
Yao Mu smiled and said, "Sister Xinping unexpectedly shot Tianheng's dragon with a long-range snipe at the beginning of the game. Tianheng's jungler and jungler worked together to snatch Northern Shepherd's dragon. Is this karma?"
Brother Dong said, "Tianheng has succeeded in their revenge. They managed to snatch the dragon and delay Northern Shepherd's attack. "
Of course, Zhao Xinan wouldn't let Tianheng's jungler leave after snatching the dragon. He activated Berserk and chased after Ye Shaoyang like a mad dog. He slashed and slashed with his sword. Ye Shaoyang was cut down to low health. Zhao Xinping aimed from afar and instantly killed him with a snipe, taking his head.
Northern Shepherd's original instinct was to lead the Tyrannosaurus team and quickly push back the three towers. However, now that the dragon was snatched, he could only defend and clear the junglers to give Tianheng Cheng Xing time to develop.
The game dragged on for 25 minutes. Tianheng used the dragon they snatched to push back Northern Shepherd's outer tower.
Both sides pulled at each other for a few minutes. The outer towers of the three lanes were all gone, leaving only the high ground.
Both sides pushed their junglers to the high ground again. The game was in a stalemate again.
The game had reached the end of the 30 minutes. The live audience was very nervous.
At this time, Northern Shepherd had a slight advantage in the headcount ratio of 1514. In Group S, it was very rare to have more than 10 headcount matches. This meant that both sides had been fighting fiercely.
The dragon spawned again. Since Northern Shepherd's dragon had just been snatched, he decided not to fight the dragon this time. He led the three lanes of junglers to push back and Tianheng retreated to the high ground. In the high ground team battle, the Sharpshooter's long-range advantage was fully utilized. Tianheng couldn't find Zhao Xinping's position and allowed Zhao Xinping to snipe.
Yao Mu said excitedly, "Another snipe! Sister Xinping's Sharpshooter hit rate is as high as 100% today. This bullet happened to hit Tianheng's backline shooter. Little Xing needs to go back home to heal. Northern Shepherd took the opportunity to push back and pushed down the middle lane tower! "
Brother Dong said, "Xiao En's big shot is beautiful!"
Xiao En's Dark Witch could send out a wizard's puppet and let it stay in a certain position. When the puppet used a big move, it would cause black magic critical damage in the area. This big move happened to hit Old Qin and Qujiang in the front row of Tianheng. Their health instantly dropped by half. Zhao Xinping followed up with two snipes and crippled them.
Zhao Xinan used Berserk to rush in and attack the back row. Cheng Xing, who had just returned from healing, immediately flashed to the side and used his displacement skill to quickly attack. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xing cleared the middle lane of junglers. Northern Shepherd turned to the top lane and continued to attack. Cheng Xing quickly cleared the top lane of junglers. Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo cleared the bottom lane together.
Northern Shepherd's attack was repelled.
A moment later, they brought the junglers to attack the high ground again.
Qujiang and Old Qin attacked backhandedly. Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang wanted to go to the back and kill the opposing archer. However, Zhao Xinping was standing too far away. She flashed over the wall and escaped. Chi Shuo couldn't catch up.
Northern Shepherd supported White Bear to tank the damage from the defense tower.
Zhao Xinan activated Berserk and rushed forward as if he didn't care about his life.
He rushed to the high ground and killed Cheng Xing at the cost of his own life!
Although Cheng Xing and Old Qin killed him, Tianheng's archer was dead. It was difficult to defend the high ground.
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo couldn't catch up with Zhao Xinping. They turned back to kill Xiao En. Xiao En couldn't just stay there and wait for them to kill her. She used her big move to cripple them before dying. Zhao Xinping hid in the distance and took the opportunity to snipe Ye Shaoyang.
In the blink of an eye, four players from each side died in the group battle.
Chi Shuo was the only one left in Tianheng. The opposing archer Zhao Xinping was the only one left.
The audience was so nervous that their hearts were in their mouths.
However, Ye Shaoyang knew that it was difficult for a single assassin to defend his home base. The opponent's attack range was very far, but Chi Shuo was out of skills. Zhao Xinping crouched in the distance and sniped at a 180-degree angle. She used the last bullet to cripple Chi Shuo.
There were two minions left in the high ground. Chi Shuo only had a sliver of health left. He used Shadow Clone to move forward and quickly killed the minions.
However …
Another wave of minions arrived on the top lane. Northern Shepherd controlled the minions very well.
Chi Shuo couldn't clear this wave of minions.
Zhao Xinping didn't go to kill Chi Shuo. She stood in the distance and moved quickly. She only focused on the defense tower.
Before Chi Shuo finished clearing the minions, Zhao Xinping destroyed the defense tower.
The screen turned gray.
Chi Shuo's hands left the keyboard and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my …"
Before he could finish, his body suddenly fell into a warm embrace. Chi Shuo froze for a moment. He looked up and saw Ye Shaoyang hugging him with a smile. He said softly, "Don't be sorry. You did your best."
Chi Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly didn't know what to say.
All words seemed so weak and powerless.
Ye Shaoyang hugged his captain gently and said seriously, "Last year, Tianheng played against Northern Shepherd in the playoffs. I watched your game from the sidelines. Tianheng was eliminated by Northern Shepherd in 23. At that time, you also defended until the last moment and fell in front of the crystal. It was also at that time that I decided to join Tianheng and fight side by side with you. "
That game was still fresh in everyone's memory. In S9's Tianheng, Old Nie and Ah Ning's form declined in the bottom lane. Qujiang couldn't keep up with Chi Shuo's pace in the middle lane. Old Qin's performance in the top lane was mediocre. Tianheng's loss to Northern Shepherd seemed inevitable.
But this season was different. Although they lost to Northern Shepherd, they didn't lose in a cowardly manner. They fought back and forth with the Northern Shepherds and dragged it out for 30 minutes.
When S9 lost, Chi Shuo was very sad because that was Old Nie and Ah Ning's last game. They retired with regrets and left this arena.
But this time, it was completely different. He wasn't sad at all.
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Losing to Northern Shepherd last season was the end. Old Nie and the others retired with regrets. I know you feel bad. However, this loss was only the beginning. We still have hope in the playoffs. "
Chi Shuo looked up and met Ye Shaoyang's gaze. He looked at Chi Shuo and said seriously, "So, don't think that you can shoulder everything just because you're the captain. We'll shoulder it with you."
The corners of Chi Shuo's lips curled up slightly. His heart was filled with warmth.
Who was Tianheng's captain? Why did Yangyang seem more like a captain?
Ever since his mentor retired from S7, Chi Shuo had been taking on all the external pressure as Tianheng's captain. When they lost a game and were scolded, he would stand up and take all the blame to protect his teammates.
But today, Shaoyang gave him the warmest hug he had ever given him.
In the past, when they lost a game, although his teammates would comfort each other, Qujiang and Old Qin didn't dare to take the initiative to hug him because Captain Chi was too cold.
But Ye Shaoyang was bold. At this moment, he forgot the difference between Alpha and Omega.
He just wanted to hug this person.
He wanted to tell this captain that he wasn't fighting alone, so he didn't have to shoulder it all by himself every time.
You've been doing it for three whole years. Aren't you tired?
Chi Shuo stretched out his arms and hugged Ye Shaoyang tightly. "In the past, I've always comforted my teammates after losing a game. This is the first time someone comforted me."
Ye Shaoyang was stunned for a moment.
His captain's occupational disease was acting up. He subconsciously comforted his teammates after losing a game.
But when he felt Chi Shuo tighten his arms, Ye Shaoyang suddenly felt his heart soften. Actually, no matter how strong a person was, they still needed others to care for them. Chi Shuo had always been calm and steady, but he was under the most pressure.
He also needed someone to share the burden.
Ye Shaoyang smiled and patted Captain Chi's shoulder. "It's okay. We'll fight again in the playoffs."
The live audience: "…??"
Tian Huan's fans originally wanted to cry. After all, they had fought for more than 30 minutes and lost in the end. Everyone didn't feel good. In the end, when they saw Shuo Yue and Lie Yang smiling and hugging, their tears suddenly stopped.
Uh … it didn't seem like there was a need to cry?
After all, they would still be in the winner's group even if they lost!
With this thought, Tianheng's fans felt relieved and started to clap.
Yao Mu said, "Today's match was very exciting. Sister Xinping is indeed the number one Sharpshooter in the country. Her perfect sniping allowed us to see the strength of the League's top Sharpshooters! Of course, Tianheng's performance was also commendable. Lieyang's sacrifice was also good. Midlaner and jungler worked together to steal the big dragon. And then there was the final battle to defend the high ground. Tianheng's exciting performance is also worthy of our applause! "
"Congratulations to North Shepherd 21 for winning this match. The regular season is now over. Next, the All-Star voting channel will be opened on the official website. Everyone can vote for the players they like …"
The commentator began to explain the rules of the All-Star voting.
In the soundproof room, Ye Shaoyang finally let go of Chi Shuo. When he turned around, he saw Qujiang, Old Qin, and Cheng Xing all smiling. Especially Qujiang, who had an "understanding" smile on his face. Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized that something was wrong.
F * ck! I was too excited and forgot that I'm an Omega!
Chi Shuo defended the crystal until the last moment. This reminded Ye Shaoyang of last year's playoffs, Tianheng vs North Shepherd. At that time, he was sitting in the audience, watching Chi Shuo defend until the last moment. He finally decided to join Tianheng because Chi Shuo's tenacity moved him. He believed that with such a captain, Tianheng had hope.
When he lost to North Shepherd just now, he just wanted to tell Chi Shuo that he still had a comrade by his side.
This time, I'll fight with you!
He was so engrossed in the match that he forgot that he and Chi Shuo weren't just "good brothers".
Ye Shaoyang coughed lightly to hide his awkwardness.
For the sake of the CP fans, he turned around and hugged the smiling Qujiang.
Qujiang: "…"
Using me as a shield? Sure.
A moment later, North Shepherd's team of five came to the soundproof room to shake hands. The Tianheng team had already adjusted their emotions and stood up politely to congratulate them. After they left, Ye Shaoyang said, "Our overall strength is still a little lacking compared to North Shepherd's, so there's nothing to be ashamed of. But we still have room for improvement, so don't be discouraged, everyone! "
Cheng Xing whispered, "I'm still a far cry from Sister Xinping. I'll work hard to catch up to her."
Old Qin said, "I'll also learn from Little Zhao's suicidal style of play."
Chi Shuo looked at Ye Shaoyang and met his bright eyes.
They'll just have to fight back in the playoffs.
The two of them exchanged glances, conveying the same message.
Chi Shuo smiled and looked at his teammates. "Let's go, it's time to leave."
Tianheng's team of five came onto the big stage and bowed to the audience in unison, receiving warm applause from the live audience.
The regular season had come to an end.
Tianheng placed second in their group and entered the winner's bracket of the S10 playoffs.
This season, North Shepherd's three players were very strong. They had spent a lot of money to buy a world-class mid laner from the European region, so they were clearly aiming for the world championship.
But Tianheng's goal was also to become the world champion.
In the S9 playoffs, Tianheng was eliminated by North Shepherd. Could the S10 playoffs change their fate?
There were still two months until the playoffs, so Tianheng still had time to adjust. The fans did not give up hope.
Of course, Tianheng's team members would also work harder.
This team had yet to reach their peak form.
The end of the regular season was just a new starting point for them. In the playoffs, the individual strength of the team members would be stronger, and their teamwork would also be better. Tianheng would appear in front of everyone with a new face.
