“There’s no ward here, let’s go around and kill Asmodai!” Zhou Yan said.
The turret at the middle lane was important, it concerned the success rates of the ganks to the other lanes in the late-game. It could be said that if they managed to take down this turret, they would be halfway to victory already.
That was why no matter what they had to sacrifice, Team Skycrown needed to take that turret down.
Luocheng’s Lee Sin was following Zhou Yan closely from behind, and they crossed the river, passing by their opponent’s Wraith camp.
They clearly remembered that there were no wards in this area. Hades was also always within their sight, it was impossible for him to sneak away and plant a ward.
To dive the turret and secure the kill, Elise and Lee Sin didn’t need the minion wave. Elise would tank the turret first, and once she threw her set of skills out, whether or not it hit wasn’t important, the important thing was for Luocheng to follow up from behind to land his kick on Hades to throw him right in front of Wu Sen’s Gragas.
“I’m going in!” Zhou Yan gave the signal to Wu Sen.
Elise’ human form appeared from behind the turret, shooting a web right at Hades.
Hades reacted quickly, dodging to the side, and Elise’ E-skill missed her mark.
Zhou Yan was not concerned about Hades dodging the web, and he walked toward the turret in order to tank the damage from the turret for Luocheng as well as to bait out Ziggs’ bombs.
Once he had exhausted his skills, Zhou Yan took a few more hits from the turret, waiting for Luocheng to direct his skills to the front of Hades.
Luocheng didn’t plant a ward in front of Hades because he knew that Hades still had his Satchel Charge and Flash.
When you were ganking a big boss like Hades, if you didn’t count the cards in his hands properly and tried to kill him, you would be slapped right back in the face.
Luocheng walked straight in, and upon seeing that Hades didn’t use any of the afore-mentioned skills, he proceeded to kick Ziggs out of the turret and followed up with his Q-skill!
To first cast your Ultimate and then Q-skill successively, this really needed confidence to pull it off because the connection between the skills needed to be extremely fast, and at the same time, you needed to clearly understand the distance and angle at which you were kicking your enemy.
There was no helping it, after all, all Luocheng had was a ton of confidence, and of course, Luocheng couldn’t deny that this combo was extremely cool.
Hades’ Ziggs landed in front of Wu Sen’s Gragas, and Wu Sen had already been prepared. As if he was taking the last baton in a relay race, he launched his meaty body for a Body Slam toward Ziggs, intending to follow up with his Ultimate to instantly crush him!
It was at this time that Hades Flashed, and his Flash was incredibly on point, dodging the huge amount of damage that could have afflicted him from Gragas’ skills, and at the same time, he activated his Barrier to avoid dying from Lee Sin’s kicks.
The consecutive release of his skills was fast, and without a second’s delay, Hades Flashed backward to the turret and threw all of his skills at Elise who was still at the turret.
Ziggs packed quite a bit of damage, and Elise was down to her last bit of health in no time.
Zhou Yan Rappel-ed into the sky to avoid further damage, and just as he went up into the air, he realized that Vi had made a sudden appearance from behind the turret.
“She’s here so fast!?”
Zhou Yan’s face changed as he saw Belial walking toward the top lane, how could he have appeared in the middle lane so fast.
Elise’s E-skill in Spider Form needed to select a target to land on, otherwise, she would automatically come back down on her original spot in two seconds. There were no enemy minions around the turret, which made Zhou Yan annoyed and embarrassed that he had overlooked the fact that he could have Rappel-ed nearer to the Wraith camp, that way he could have easily escaped!
“I’m dead, Cheng, you be careful.” Zhou Yan said with a deep sigh.
“I’m also in danger...” Luocheng replied seriously.
Just as Zhou Yan was being targeted by Vi, Luocheng had seen Mephistopheles’ Karma coming in from the side.
Karma’s CC was incredibly disgusting and because Lee Sin’s skills were all on cooldown right now, Luocheng could only watch as Karma unleashed her skill-shots at him.
Hades only had a little bit of health left and he managed to survive. After Karma had stunned him, he saw Hades throwing his large and small bombs toward him.
That Bouncing Bomb and Hexplosive Minefield, adding on the Satchel Charge, Luocheng’s health was down to its last drop.
Luocheng didn’t dare to hesitate, Flashing to flee was the only obvious choice. Zhou Yan was confirmed to be dead, he couldn’t jump out of that no matter what.
Seeing Hades’ Ziggs with that little amount of health left hiding under the turret, Luocheng became extremely unsatisfied.
To think he had actually been ambushed instead!
It was obvious that they had seen through their plans.
“Since we can’t get to the middle lane, the fight will probably drag on.” Wu Sen said.
A double Jungler lineup was not really suitable for the late-game. Luocheng didn’t want to drag the game on too long either because they would probably be the ones at a disadvantage instead.
Only, if you didn’t kill Hades, how would you take down the middle lane turret?
That was the key for them to obtain victory...
No way, they had to kill him!
Glancing briefly and seeing that Hades had retreated quite a distance behind the turret with about one fourth of his health left, Luocheng took a detour around, going back through the same path that he had first sneaked in from.
Luocheng had seen Hades recalling behind the turret and this guy was still on high alert, purposely positioning himself behind the new minion wave.
It was obvious that none of Team Daemons had realized that Luocheng had actually dared to so boldly come back once again. Belial was helping Hades to clear the minion wave while Mephistopheles was making his way back to the bottom lane.
“You have to wait for the minion wave to pass.”
There was a row of minions standing in between Luocheng’s Lee Sin and Hades’ Ziggs, it was impossible for Lee Sin’s Q-skill, Sonic Wave, to go through the minions and hit Ziggs.
And if he waited until the minions who were walking extremely slowly to walk all the way past, Hades would have returned to his base already...
He needed to go now!
Luocheng’s gaze sharpened, roughly calculating the distance and angle...
Touching on the ward, he planted it instantly, and Luocheng’s Lee Sin flew toward this ward in the blink of an eye!
“HA!”
The sonic blast burst forth from Lee Sin’s foot, the blast heading right for Hades’ Ziggs.
However...
The path of the Sonic Wave was clearly going to be blocked by the minions, and the two commentators seeing Luocheng’s action of returning and launching this move were completely bewildered.
“Fighting Hawk?” Hades’ eyebrow raised as he saw Luocheng’s Lee Sin appear.
Hades didn’t bother to interrupt his recall because it was obvious that there was a line of minions in front of him that would ensure Lee Sin’s Sonic Wave wouldn’t hit him.
But in the next second, Hades’ face froze!
He tried to dodge immediately but the Sonic Wave still landed on him, and it took away the last bit of health he had left.
But, how was that possible!
Smite...hehe, Smite....
Hades’ eyes were wide in shock, staring at his screen which had turned gray...
“OH! This...this...!” Bao Jun was so shocked that he couldn’t utter a word without stuttering!
The entire arena was stunned speechless, their eyes wide.
Fighting Hawk had killed Hades!
The words and announcement from the game were clearly displayed on the gigantic screen.
But the question was, how had Fighting Hawk managed to land such an earth-shattering kill!?
Everybody knew that Lee Sin’s Q-skill would have been blocked by the minions walking past, that was why there was no panic when Lee Sin had appeared.
There had been a whole row of minions in between Luocheng and Hades, how had Lee Sin’s Q-skill gone through all of that!?
It was at that moment that Luocheng used his phenomenal skills to tell everyone in the audience, to what extent a Lee Sin could show off!
“Let’s not talk so much and just watch the replay, I feel like I’m still not all there right now.” Bao Jun said.
“This maneuver is seriously spectacular, and more importantly, Fighting Hawk has completed the most difficult kill in history, which is to kill Hades!”
The replay was quick to be displayed on the screen, showing how Luocheng was hiding in the Fog of War and there was still quite a distance between him and Hades. At the same time, the minion wave was slowly walking past, without a doubt they would block the path of Luocheng’s Q-skill.
Finally, Lee Sin made his move. First he used his W-skill to move to the ward he planted, closing the gap and getting Hades into his range.
The Sonic Wave flew out accurately towards Hades.
Hades hadn’t dodged because there was no need to, after all, there were minions in front of him...
However, just as the white sonic blast scraped the ground harshly and was about to hit the minion in front of it, a brownish yellow single claw slashed down from the air!
This slash had killed the ranged minion immediately...
The Sonic Wave flew past this ranged-minion’s corpse, passing through the gap in the row of these fresh minions. It felt like a cannonball that had managed to weave its way through a narrow path, slamming right into its target!
Smite!
The moment he had launched his Q-skill, he had used his Smite to kill off the minion that was blocking the skill’s path, completing a God-of-all-Gods skill that passed through the minions!
Let’s not even talk about how a normal player wouldn’t be able to think about getting a kill this way, the difficulty in that maneuver could have just killed so many of the LPL professional players who played Lee Sin!
Unleashing a skill that was only less than a second and Smiting that minion, as well as maintaining the angle of the skills to go through that gap without hitting the front or back minion...
How in the f*cking world!? Even if the minion was Smited, there was only a gap as wide as your thumb between the first and the third minion!
God knows how this guy actually managed to get that skill to pass such a small gap!
***
The other professional players who were sitting in the front row all stood up at the same time without realizing it.
Number One’s jaw had hit the ground and had yet to close.
Zhang Aijing hurriedly grabbed her spectacles out from her bag, you need to know that her vision power was only one hundred!
Forgetful Laughter’s throat was obviously trembling, it was obvious that he couldn’t help but swallow heavily!
The most exaggerated reaction of all was from Team Sky’s substitute Jungler, Birch. He had been drinking water when it all happened, and he almost choked on it!
What... What kind of godlike maneuver was this!?
Lee Sin’s Q-skill could be played like that!?
Almost all the professional players watching had their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets!
