Chapter 31
Chapter 31
"Not hitting Baron?" "Why hit it now?" I scolded Strike, who was eating minions on mid lane, then pushed bot lane and recalled. Twin cannons weren't twin cannons for nothing. The enemy mid laner was gone, but the rest including their ADC were intact, their support would revive soon, and the skill that initiated the previous fight—the enemy's support ultimate—would have its cooldown back up long ago. The enemy still had something to say.
[They're not hitting Baron right away!]
[The biggest change since True joined ST3 is definitely their concept of turns, right? ST is now dismantling enemy towers for solid gains while forcing an OX quiz on the enemy!] [Isn't this what ST1 excels at?][Are we hitting this or not? They checked vision with wards once, but those are consumables! Not infinite!] We'd just finished peeling their tower, and now it was about forcing them to check if we were hitting Baron or not
[This puts Milky Way in a tough operational spot.] [They're pushing minions from deep inside right now, but once it goes over halfway, who knows where ST will pop out from!][Especially the Twisted Forest on the bot side—Bell has already warded it while watching True, so for Milky Way, the Twisted Forest is pure terror right now! You never know who you'll run into going in!][But they can't just send the support to die either—the only ones who can initiate are the support and top! Plus, on ST's side, everyone except True has Flash up, and Malph lacks a pull, so forced engages are a bit short!] The one silver lining from Strike's explosive upright stance was that he hadn't had time to react, so his Flash was still up
And with our ADC's mechanics, he could react to a Malph ultimate flying in from dark vision. [Every comp has weaknesses, but they usually stand out when you're on the back foot, right?][This is the moment Milky Way's comp weakness shines.][Meanwhile, ST can block forced entries with Bell's 1++ grade Hanwoo, or force one if they don't come?][Milky Way must be feeling so frustrated right now.] From now on, what we did was simple. Enemy pushes a lane halfway? Plook from top swoops in, cleans the line, and vanishes
In this situation, expecting Milky Way to control all three lanes' minions was basically begging me to kill you. At best, they'd forcibly manage mid and top—basically just around the upper Twisted Forest near Baron. Then, thanks to Plook's champion's mobility, he could easily clean two lanes, and the rest of us, including me, would disappear from sight. [Hitting it this time?!][Ah! Not this time either!][Milky Way flees from the relentlessly pursuing bear! From the moment they became the hunted instead of the hunter, the wounds just keep piling up!][Gotta go home again!] In this back-and-forth of quizzing the enemy on whether we were hitting Baron..
"Now hit it." "Where you going?" "Bot to pull some aggro." If they don't come, push an inhibitor. If one shows up no matter the champ, I win. If two, just burst Baron. And by now, the enemy's accumulated fatigue couldn't be ignored. Always out of sight until suddenly visible—they had no choice but to make a complacent call. [Huh? True's heading bot, and we saw Plook pushing top lane?][Milky Way heads toward Baron but turns for a side split!][Ughhh! Tricked! Even just Strike could burst this, right? Sure, it'd be faster with Plook or True, but it's not slow either!][Already half HP! Milky Way's jungler is diligently farming monsters bot! This is a guaranteed take!] The enemy jungler Zhaoran appeared descending on a ward Bell had deeply hidden
With this item gap in a 1v1, there was no way I'd lose, so that sight alone proved he wasn't alone. "I'll wag my tail a bit then turn back, so burst it and group mid." I said that, left some minions in the rear, and pushed the line forward first. —BOOM! Then the enemy swarmed out. [They crossed the line! That's what Milky Way seems to be saying!][Saw them grouping mid—where you pushing bot?!] Tristana rushed first and started kiting at a good distance—her autos blocked two or three with passive shield, and I slipped out via minions from the approaching enemy support's stun range
[Why is this guy so tanky?!][This isn't the glass cannon Yasuo from solo queue that lives and dies by the blade.][Ah! He's full tank items! How do you catch this in an all-AD comp?!][And the damage... oof! Tristana gets distance and boom, half HP gone!][No talking this out! They dove first—why is Tristana's Flash gone?!] Now around when enemy skill cooldowns were back. This time, using shroud to minimize movement, I brainlessly rushed in with autos and Q. [Tristana aside, Milky Way's support is way too soft against this guy right now!][Zhaoran lifts him briefly, but meaningless!][Why don't we have a Yasuo! Zhaoran's pissed!] In the skirmish, I stirred up their three, and at kill range, unleashed the wind
The wind flew straight to Tristana, who had no Flash and couldn't kill me, with her movement skill on cooldown.
💥 KILL! 💥
ST True → Milky Way S Envy Now it wasn't them hunting me—it was me picking either of the two to kill. [Ughhh! Solo kill again!][This is turbo takeoff! Nah, not even—Milky Way, what can they do here?!][Main squad pushed helplessly!][Milky Way's Jingki diligently deals damage, but Sejuani just finds it ticklish!][Why is ST so damn beefy?!] What followed was one-sided
While I toyed with the two bot who lacked damage and snagged their support, the other four pushed straight mid. [Twin towers! Last stand at the towers!] —KABOOM! Jingki, dealing damage between towers trusting them, got shredded by the bear's ultimate. [Arrrgh! Bear showing presence in the final teamfight!][This bear rips people apart!][Earlier with the OX quiz, ST had top not ADC controlling minions—now showing why before game ends!][Malph belatedly ults right in the middle, but Strike reacts in time!][Not a boulder—rock crumbs! This guy's too soft!] In the end, with twin towers demolished, I split from Zhaoran, went home, and Teleported straight to their Nexus
[True arrives too! Everyone hitting Nexus together—!][GG!][Game over! First set, ST's surprise picks all pay off, proving why they're the absolute kings of Master League with not even a series loss!]
