176: Chapter 176 The War Song Begins!

"Old Zhao, this match is actually interesting; to think they could win this!"

"Flash forward, that was too exaggerated. My heart rate sped up quite a bit just watching; I'm afraid A-Shui's heart was about to explode just now!"

"It wouldn't really be like what you said, that they could win three games in a row, would it?"

"Damn, I asked Second to help me answer questions, I wasn't watching. Second was shouting just now. Was this game really that good? You're joking, right? I still don't believe gaming tournaments are interesting."

After this game ended, Zhao Erming directly turned off airplane mode. In an instant, several messages popped up.

However, because not all of his roommates were watching the match—they had only asked Second to keep an eye on it—there were still a few confused messages.

Zhao Erming didn't say much else; he just stood up and filmed a short video.

As you could see, the excitement on the faces of many audience members in the venue hadn't faded yet. They were constantly communicating with the people next to them who had watched the match. As for those who hadn't, they were being told directly to put down their phones and watch the upcoming matches.

After sending the video, Zhao Erming only added one sentence: "Don't just have one person watching. I have a feeling that the subsequent matches will definitely be more exciting than the last!"

Meanwhile, after the third game ended, the momentum from the viewers who had watched the match swept across quite a few social media platforms.

You have to know, Weibo's number one trending topic was still 'How Boring league of legends Matches Are'.

But after this game finished, many comments of praise and shock appeared directly in the comments and real-time feed for this topic.

"Hurry up and watch the match, it's actually interesting."

"The first two games were very boring, but this third game was very good, especially A-Shui's Flash forward at the end; it was too exaggerated."

"If they can win one game, they can win two! Could it be that they're really going to come back from being down two games to win three?"

"Those of you who hired people to watch for you, you can really watch the match yourselves."

The aftertaste of this game was quite strong. Whether it was the commentators, the live audience, or the players watching the livestream on the client, everyone remained immersed for a long time in the scene of A-Shui's final Flash forward, unable to recover.

Although most of the comments in the stream were still saying "hurry up," the meaning was completely different. Before, players felt the match was boring and wanted to get the treasure chest early, but now, they were truly a bit impatient and wanted to watch the fourth game!

Very quickly, as the fourth game began the draft phase, the director's camera cut back to the venue.

This time, although the venue was only one-third full, almost all the audience members had raised their heads; there were hardly any left still playing on their phones.

Those who had watched the previous game would naturally continue watching, and other audience members who had been scrolling on their phones and missed it, after hearing the shock and praise from the people around them, also wanted to see if it was really that good.

At the venue entrance, new figures began to enter. They were all nearby league of legends players who, after watching the match, wanted to come to the venue to experience it for themselves.

Besides this, the number of people in the livestream rooms on major platforms also rose quite a bit, totaling several million.

You have to know, after league of legends officially announced the viewing event, some people had already found loopholes to charge others for watching on their behalf, with prices not being expensive, just a few to a dozen yuan.

And many league of legends players who didn't want to waste time, but were reluctant to give up the free skin treasure chests, had sought out these proxy viewers.

But after the third game finished and the match's reputation began to spread among the player community, this group of players also reopened the livestream rooms on other platforms, wanting to see if this match was really that good.

And for this fourth game, when the camera cut to the players of A Shui Team, one could clearly see that the expressions on everyone's faces were much more confident, and the hero draft was the same.

Zz1tai once again brought out Gangplank, the champion he had been crushed on in a previous game, and the others also brought out their signature heroes. In this fourth game, having regained their confidence, they planned to use their signature heroes to win back another game.

Uzi Team's choices remained relatively conservative. After discovering that the opponents used many of the heroes from the second game, they also picked the lineup with which they had crushed the opponents in the second game.

Very quickly, the hero selection was complete. As Liu Yang prepared to leave the stage, he spoke to everyone through his headset: "After the last game, you should have also realized that the opponents are just paper tigers. In terms of mechanics, we really aren't worse than them."

"Treat the upcoming match as a BO3, but our goal is to win it all!"

"Let's go!"

Taking off his headset, Liu Yang walked off the stage. The fourth game began quickly.

Having regained their confidence this time and taken the previous game, everyone could feel that the five members of A Shui Team were a bit different. Whether it was their mechanics or their last-hitting, they were much more confident.

Their laning phase was even quite aggressive, carrying a sense of pressure.

This time, it was the people on Uzi Team who were a bit unconvinced. After all, the hero choices for both sides in the top, mid, and jungle lanes were exactly the same as in the second game. In the second game, they had crushed the opponents, with all sorts of solo kills; there was no reason this game would be different.

But what they didn't expect was that, with confidence, everyone on A Shui Team almost started popping off!

"This wave is a bit dangerous; Gangplank is about to get ganked!"

"He ate the orange to instantly cleanse the crowd control, dodged three skills in a row with his positioning, and even managed to pull off a double fire-blade proc. Zz1tai can get away! No, wait, he Flash-ed in the opposite direction to deal damage, he got a counter-kill! A two-on-one, and Zz1tai outplayed them!"

"Is Brother Hu planning to dive the tower? His actions clearly show he has the intent to kill, but the opponent seems to have a hunch. He's going for it, can he get the kill! All skills landed, he got the kill, but the last shot from the defense tower..."

"He locked it at ten HP!"

"Because the top, mid, and jungle were all crushed, Uzi's mentality seems to have developed issues. Why didn't he pick up the lantern this wave? Getting killed in lane is just too unacceptable."

"With a five-thousand gold lead in less than twenty minutes, A Shui Team's advantage in this game is indeed very large, but Uzi clearly doesn't want to give up this dragon fight."

"Uzi Team's Support engaged, Flash-predicting A-Shui, and controlled him with a Leona ultimate, killing A-Shui! The Support didn't get away either. Uzi Team should be able to take the dragon this wave and claw back a lot. Wait, what is Zz1tai doing?"

"He's placing barrels in the bush outside the dragon pit. He is indeed the one with the highest gold advantage on A Shui Team right now, but the bot lane duo is already gone. Is there a chance?"

"Two-barrel combo, three-barrel combo!"

"The three-barrel combo hit five people!"

"The damage is absolutely explosive! The 'earth fire' instantly engulfed all five members of Uzi Team, and Changzhang and Brother Hu went in too!"

"Three versus five, an ace! They won this team fight!"

After this team fight, Uzi Team no longer had any strength to resist. The situation began to tilt completely. It was only a matter of time before A Shui Team won back another game.

In this game, although there wasn't an operation as exaggerated as A-Shui's Flash forward in the previous one, whether it was the solo kills in the top and mid lanes, or the explosive three-barrel combo in the dragon fight, amidst the roaring of the commentators, it still brought incredibly exaggerated entertainment value.

The shocked comments in the stream were one layer after another. The scene was even more exaggerated; when all the audience members put down their phones and immersed themselves in the match, wave after wave of exclamations even rang out continuously, echoing in the venue as everyone watched the match on the big screen with full attention.

In this game, it wasn't just A-Shui; almost everyone on their team had highlight moments, and they all achieved huge advantages in their respective matchups.

Furthermore, because they weren't doing a 'protect the carry' strategy and didn't funnel all the gold into one person—the top and mid were also major carry heroes—even if Uzi Team could find an opportunity to burst down A-Shui, they couldn't win the game, making it very hard to turn things around.

Very quickly, this game entered its final stages. With an ace, A Shui Team destroyed the main nexus. The score reached two to two!

And just in the next second, when many audience members were planning to relax a bit and wait for the final game to arrive, suddenly, a low drumbeat instantly sounded from the speakers all around the venue, simultaneously appearing in the livestream rooms on major platforms.

The lights in the venue also began to flicker with the music, one bright, one dark. Immediately after, the second and third drumbeats followed one after another, the rhythm becoming increasingly dense.

Finally, an incredibly impassioned piece of electronic music instantly rang throughout the entire venue. The ground was even trembling slightly, and in an instant, all the lights were turned on.

At this moment, although the viewers in the livestream rooms and the live audience were hearing this electronic music for the first time, almost instantly, this incredibly impassioned music completely ignited the atmosphere for the final game! The final game was coming!
