175: Chapter 175 Flash Forward, Winning Back a Round!

"The positioning is too poor. The Jarvan IV has been stuck and can't get in at all. Plus, the Baron's health has dropped to a dangerous level."

"There's no other way; A-Shui Team has to give it up. They can't take this team fight at all; the positioning is just too bad."

"I have to say, Uzi's positioning in those previous Dragon fights was excellent, and he was well-protected by his teammates, which helped them recover quite a bit of gold."

"Now it just depends on whether A-Shui Team can withstand this Baron push."

At this moment.

The match had just passed the twenty-five-minute mark, and Uzi Team had secured the Baron.

Although A-Shui Team had gained a significant advantage early on through their plays in the bottom lane, Uzi Team's tactical shift was very fast.

After farming all three lanes and the jungle to catch up in gold, Uzi performed quite well in the subsequent two Dragon fights, helping his team secure a few team wipes.

And they secured the Baron.

This was because they seized an opportunity when the members of A-Shui Team were recalling. Due to their poor positioning and lack of time, A-Shui Team had no choice but to concede the Baron.

After this Baron.

Uzi Team's gold lead had already surpassed A-Shui Team's by a significant margin.

However.

Because of the help given to the bottom lane early on, and the additional gold funneled into the bottom lane later, A-Shui's items were no worse than Uzi's, but he was the only one on his team who was caught up.

Everyone else's gold was significantly behind, making team fights very difficult to win.

At this moment.

Watching Uzi Team push on the match screen, the live chat felt it was a pity.

"It's probably over. Uzi Team's protection is just too ridiculous. As long as they can't take down Tristana in this 'protect the ADC' composition, Uzi and his team can't lose."

"Those Dragon fights just now looked somewhat interesting, but that's all they were—just interesting. It's still not enough to make me watch league of legends matches specifically."

"Indeed, the level-two gank in the bottom lane and the 'protect the ADC' strategy were decent, and the later Dragon fights were okay too. The entertainment value is much better than the first two games, but still not worth watching specifically."

"This should be the limit for esports. If both sides are trading blows, it's barely watchable, but it still doesn't reach the level where it deserves Qin Mo's nationwide promotion."

"End it quickly, I want to start a game myself."

After the game started.

Although several exciting, strategic team fights broke out later, causing many players to pay more attention and get engaged.

But the entertainment value of this match still fell far short of traditional sports.

Many people even felt that.

This was likely the limit for esports competitions: watchable, but not by much; without rewards, no one would pay attention.

And amidst the endless scrolling of the live chat.

The five-man squad, buffed by the Baron, had already pushed to A-Shui Team's high ground. Uzi's positioning had never been too far forward, and to win the team fight, A-Shui Team had to take down Uzi.

But because they couldn't defend against the Baron-buffed team, the members of A-Shui Team eventually gave up the high ground.

But the very next second, just as Tristana destroyed the inhibitor, to everyone's surprise, Uzi jumped forward, cast his E skill on A-Shui, and began auto-attacking.

He had seized the moment when A-Shui was alone.

Seeing Uzi play so aggressively.

A-Shui was not intimidated at all. After all, his equipment was not inferior to Uzi's. He traded auto-attacks with him, and both ADCs exchanged blows several times.

Although A-Shui's health dropped to one-third or even less due to Tristana's E skill, Tristana's health bar was also down to half.

After the auto-attacks, teammates from both sides approached. Uzi retreated back into his team very smoothly, never giving A-Shui an opportunity to use his Bladecaller.

After all, at this moment, no one wanted to take risks; as long as the opponent's teammates arrived, there was no need to fight to the death.

A-Shui also turned and dodged slightly.

However.

Just when everyone thought A-Shui would recall to resupply and then come back out.

The next second.

Whoosh!

With a Flash, A-Shui's Xayah appeared right in the middle of Uzi Team, activated her W for increased attack speed, and instantly locked onto Tristana, unleashing a flurry of auto-attacks.

Although A-Shui's critical strike chance wasn't capped, sitting at only fifty percent, perhaps fate was on his side: three consecutive critical hits! In an instant, he killed Tristana!

Everything happened so fast that Uzi didn't even expect it. This time, he didn't even have time to press Flash!

After all, no one could have imagined.

That an ADC would actually Flash forward to initiate a team fight!

As Tristana fell, his teammates swarmed in to kill A-Shui, but A-Shui's Xayah had already activated her ultimate, Featherstorm, becoming untargetable.

At the same time.

Because everyone on Uzi Team wanted to kill A-Shui so badly, the other four were standing together and were all caught by his Bladecaller!

Changzhang's Jarvan IV, Pangzi's Rakan, and the rest of A-Shui Team naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, unleashing all their skills instantly for explosive damage.

Cataclysm, Grand Entrance!

In a split second, the situation was completely turned around!

After everyone entered the fray, they not only protected Xayah but also secured a team wipe!

ACE!

As the team fight broke out, the voices of Colonel Guan and Caster Wang Duo reached a fever pitch; their tone shifted from confusion to shouting in just a few seconds.

"Tristana jumped in proactively looking for a fight, and A-Shui isn't backing down. However, due to skill damage, Xayah can't out-trade Tristana with basic attacks."

"The other team members are arriving; they probably won't continue trading auto-attacks."

"Uzi is turning back, A-Shui should be heading home to resupply... Wait, A-Shui is going in! He flashed forward into the crowd and instantly killed Tristana. Three critical hits, damage fully maximized!"

"After the kill, Featherstorm dodged the opponent's crowd control skills, and upon landing, he used Bladecaller!"

"Bladecaller! A-Shui caught four people with Bladecaller!"

At this point, Colonel Guan was practically shouting his commentary.

"Jarvan IV trapped four, Rakan followed up with crowd control, A-Shui is still alive, still outputting damage, the damage is explosive! Everyone on the opposing team is inside Jarvan IV's Cataclysm!"

"Double kill, triple kill!"

"Team wipe, that's a team wipe!"

"There's plenty of time; with this team fight, A-Shui Team is going to push for the Nexus!"

"Saving the falling building, turning the tide of the raging waves!"

"A-Shui Team is going to win this game!"

Amidst the shouting of the commentators, the members of A-Shui Team were already pushing toward the enemy Nexus with a minion wave, completely unobstructed!

No one had expected this.

Uzi Team, who had secured the Baron and were the team with the advantage, were actually defeated by A-Shui's individual play in a disadvantageous situation, as he flashed forward to instantly kill Uzi.

At this moment.

Watching A-Shui Team on the live stream as they pushed onto the high ground and started attacking the Nexus turrets.

The live chat across all platforms instantly erupted!

"Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, holy sh*t!"

"Flashing forward to 1v5, oh my god, that's just too ridiculous!"

"'Saving the falling building, turning the tide of the raging waves'—this phrase fits perfectly here! How could they even win this!"

"I have goosebumps! The team is at a disadvantage, so he just flashes forward himself to initiate a miracle team fight. You're the ADC, how can you just Flash forward alone like that?!"

"Uzi didn't react in time either, he didn't even use Flash. He probably never imagined A-Shui would dare to Flash forward!"

"This is interesting, this match is interesting, it's getting good."

Besides the viewers in the live stream.

Amidst the excitement of the commentators, many audience members in the venue were equally thrilled, rising from their seats one after another.

After the level-two gank in the bottom lane at the start and the subsequent Dragon fights, although many people were still playing on their phones, it had indeed attracted quite a few spectators in the venue to look up and pay more attention to the match.

They had also witnessed the scene that just occurred.

Watching the match online is completely different from the experience in person. Almost every spectator at the venue who watched the match felt their heart rate increase significantly, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Who cares about playing on the phone? Did you miss that amazing team fight just now!"

"Alright, alright! My phone died earlier and I was complaining about having to watch the game, but I never expected this last team fight to be so good!"

The voices of these spectators at the venue were trembling slightly.

And in the front row.

Watching the final team fight that had just concluded, Qin Mo finally took a deep breath.

In order to promote esports, the release order of champions in league of legends was different from his previous life. Qin Mo had released some unique and highly watchable champions early on, such as the Xayah and Rakan combo, Kai'Sa, Azir, and so on.

These champions easily created highly entertaining moments in matches.

Just like just now.

The only bottom lane champion who can Flash forward and not die is probably Xayah.

Furthermore.

With the conclusion of this third game, Qin Mo understood the potential and entertainment value of league of legends esports competitions.

It could no longer be hidden.
