Nothing more than garbage wearing the crown of a champion.

Damn!

Peanut never expected that he would commit such a low-level mistake.

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream had also spotted the key detail—the moment the Lee Sin used his R, the Morgana next to them had shielded Miss Fortune.

Live stream chat:
"This Morgana looked kinda slow, but I didn't expect him to actually shield at the crucial moment. Thumbs up!"
"666, who would have thought a Diamond II support could pull off a play like this."
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Zun anticipated the enemy Lee Sin's R, and while Qing a minion and casting R, he used his movement to avoid the R entirely."
"???"
"Is he really that precise? Gives me goosebumps."

The viewers expressed their disbelief.

At this moment, Teacher Piao was also watching this high-elo rank game in his stream.

Actually, he wasn't that interested in ordinary Korean server ranked matches, but seeing the opposing team's lineup—Crown, Ruler, Peanut—his anticipation was maxed out.

PDD's Mermaid Lines incoming:
"It really wasn't Morgana's shield; Ziang avoided it entirely through prediction and positioning. Lee Sin's R is a targeted skill, but if the distance isn't enough, what just happened will occur. Everyone can check the replay later, this play is so subtle! He's improving at blinding speed!"
"Holy crap. Even Teacher Piao is speaking up. Looks like this play had nothing to do with Morgana!"
"I told you, I've been watching rank for a week, and Brother Zun has never been outplayed."
"To be honest, Peanut's execution this wave was practically flawless. If this were Uzi, he probably would've been kicked and died under the tower."

On the screen,
the battle grew increasingly fierce.

Lu Ziyang handled the situation with such calm and composure that he didn't give the opponent any chance to react.

Once Lee Sin's R was neutralized,
this guy had absolutely no way to interrupt his ultimate!

"Swish, swish, swish, swish."

Miss Fortune unleashed her ultimate once again, the dual pistols shaking violently in her hands. The fan-shaped barrage of bullets covered a massive area with horrifying damage.

"Damn."

This time it was Crown's turn to be dumbfounded. He had been preparing to step up and execute a combo right after Peanut kicked the enemy Miss Fortune, but as a result... just this?

His positioning had already brought him very close to Miss Fortune, landing right in the absolute center of her ultimate's output range.

Numb!
He was genuinely numb.

Crown had no choice but to retreat. His health bar was practically empty, and he simply couldn't withstand the baptism of Miss Fortune's ultimate.

Peanut froze for a single second, then reacted and tried to run away, but Morgana's ultimate firmly shackled him, binding him in place.

Consequently, he took the full, point-blank damage of Miss Fortune's ultimate.

"Shit!!"

LeBlanc was far too squishy with too little health, and Lu Ziyang killed her mid-air as she tried to distort back.

Meanwhile, Lee Sin was also in mortal peril. A Miss Fortune just past the ten-minute mark with an Infinity Edge, hitting the full duration of her ultimate's damage—even a relatively tanky bruiser like Lee Sin couldn't handle it.

"Sigh..." Ruler glanced at the mid lane and couldn't help but sigh. "Looks like this Miss Fortune is about to take off."

Crown had no argument to refute that.

The blue team's momentum was snowballing far too quickly, spreading their advantage directly from the bottom lane to the middle lane. With this minor skirmish lost, the mid lane tier-one tower was guaranteed to fall.

At the same time, the most crucial strategic resource within the first twenty minutes, the Rift Herald, was also bound to be secured by the blue team. By then, who could possibly stop this Miss Fortune's tower-pushing onslaught?

Crown and Ruler couldn't help but cast their gazes toward the Fiora in the top lane. For the rest of this match, they could seemingly only pin their hopes on this top laner.

Although Peanut had Flash, he couldn't withstand the damage from three enemies, especially Miss Fortune.

"I can't die, I can't die." It was as if some obsession drove Peanut from within. Knowing full well he couldn't escape this wave, he still flashed over the wall, arriving with sliver health right inside his own Raptor camp.

On the screen, Lu Ziyang cast an E ability, startling the Raptors, and as a result, the sliver-health Lee Sin ultimately died to his own Raptors—though the kill credit, of course, belonged to Lu Ziyang.

This team fight concluded perfectly with a zero-for-two trade. Lu Ziyang continued to ping the mid lane tier-one tower; at this moment, the defensive structure had barely any health left!

At fourteen minutes, the blue team claimed the mid lane tier-one tower.

Lu Ziyang's gold lead the entire lobby. While farming waves and securing kills, he would also routinely clear the red team's jungle camps.

Simultaneously, the top lane Cho'gath surrendered his fourth death, executed right under his tower by Fiora, who subsequently claimed the blue team's first blood tower as well.

Judging purely by the kill score, the red team even held a lead, but Fiora showed no intention of joining team fights, continuing to steadily push the top lane.

Mlxg wasn't about to go bail out that Cho'gath, simply leaving Fiora to push towers while the blue team's focus shifted entirely to the Rift Herald.

Lu Ziyang didn't immediately recall to buy items. Instead, after destroying the mid tier-one tower, he swiftly rotated to the Rift Herald. His plan was to secure the Herald, recall, and then push down the mid tier-two tower straight into the inhibitor turret.

The enemy jungler and mid laner were waiting to respawn in the fountain, the top laner showed no signs of coming, and the bottom lane was being kept busy by Gala, making this Rift Herald exceptionally easy to take!

With it in hand, Lu Ziyang's tower-destroying speed would double. Ending the game before twenty minutes might be difficult, but if the red team refused to fight, they could at least shatter the mid lane inhibitor.

On the blue team's side, three top-tier LCK players were bantering back and forth in the chat box:

Peanut (Lee Sin): "This game is genuinely baffling, Crown, what on earth are you playing mid? I literally couldn't find a single gank opportunity."
Crown (LeBlanc): "Is that my fault? The enemy didn't give any openings, and you couldn't find an opening either."
Ruler (Kai'Sa): "You two stop arguing already. If we lose this game, we'll lose face big time. The enemy might have mlXg, but their mid and bot are total randoms!"
Peanut: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The three of us have all won Worlds titles; how could we lose to such random players? If we lose this game today, I'm announcing my retirement for S9!"

The three of them chatted openly in the all-chat box where all five players could see.

Seeing the communication among these three, the top lane Fiora simply typed: "Just trash with championship titles. Heh~ this game still has to rely on me!"

After typing that insult,
this top laner decisively muted those three guys and continued pushing waves in the top lane, bullying the trembling Cho'gath.

Many top-tier players in high Korean elo simply do not hold World Champions in awe, especially those one-trick specialists devoted to a single champion.

They play only one champion, pushing it to the absolute limit. As long as they get that champion, even when laning against championship players, they won't fall behind and might even suppress them.

That is the terrifying aspect of a one-trick god.

The scales of this ranked match had completely tilted toward the blue team.

At seventeen minutes, Lu Ziyang finished updating his items and continued to push mid, with Teacher Piao lingering nearby in stealth to provide backup.

In the bottom lane, Gala seemed to be struggling a bit. After all, it was a one-versus-two, and as time went on, Kai'Sa's laning capability was slowly scaling up.

"Gather mid, let's fight." Lu Ziyang sent a message to Gala.

Immediately after, excluding the top lane Cho'gath, the remaining four members of the blue team gathered in the mid lane with a very clear intent: use the Rift Herald to push the inhibitor turret and shatter the base!

On the red team's side, Crown frantically pinged the mid lane for assistance, trapped shivering behind his turret in the face of four enemy champions.

LeBlanc's wave-clearing capability was already garbage to begin with, and having witnessed the enemy jungler's brainless dominance, he didn't dare to clear waves casually and could only watch.

"Recall, we have to defend, otherwise..." Crown hadn't even finished typing his sentence.

Zoe suddenly circled around to the flank from an unknown angle, tossing a ultra-long-range sleepy bubble over the wall that hit him square in the chest.

"Shit, what is this Zoe doing?!" Before the CC duration of the sleepy bubble could take effect, Crown hurriedly cast his distortion to create some distance.

However, the enemy Morgana directly flashed into range, viciously hurling out a Q ability that instantly bound him in place, leaving him with nowhere to run!

"????"

Crown was left completely dumbfounded. Since when did Diamond II trash supports have this kind of game sense?
