The lineups for both sides were finally confirmed. For Yueying, Xu Zhuo picked his best hero, [Kung Fu Master]; Xie Weiyu took [Sharpshooter]; the Support [White Bear] was responsible for initiating and tanking damage; the Jungler [Fighter] played a utility role; and the Mid-laner [Moonlight Mage] provided artillery damage.
This lineup was a classic Poke strategy. In team fights, as long as the Mid-laner used their ultimate to sweep and cripple the opponents, Xie Weiyu could snipe them dead with one shot, and Xu Zhuo could also Flash in to cut the enemy backline.
Tianhuan's lineup, on the other hand, featured a double-mage composition.
The Mid-laner was the mage assassin [Illusionist], the Support was the control mage [Holy Spirit Mage], the Marksman was [Machine Gun Hunter], the Jungler was [King of Fighters], and the Top-laner was the thick-skinned tank [Holy Paladin].
The match began, and both sides farmed peacefully.
Chi Shu didn't invade the enemy jungle. He quickly cleared his own buffs, while Yueying protected Xie Weiyu to help him farm quickly.
It wasn't until the moment Chi Shu reached Level 6.
Yueying's Support immediately warned, "Enemy Jungler is Level 6. Be careful."
In the first wave after Tianhuan's Jungler hit Level 6, they almost always ganked the bot lane. Especially in this game, where Xie Weiyu's Marksman was the core damage dealer, the probability of Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang joining forces to dive bot and kill Xie Weiyu was extremely high.
Hearing the warning, Xie Weiyu immediately retreated under his tower, wanting to let the minion wave push in.
But Qu Jiang deliberately froze the wave. While Xie Weiyu was crouching under the tower using his Q-skill to snipe minions, Qu Jiang used his body to block Xie Weiyu's bullets, causing him to miss two low-health minions.
Missing minions meant a loss of gold and experience.
Because of this, Xie Weiyu couldn't reach Level 6 immediately, and Cheng Xing's leveling speed would be faster than his.
Xie Weiyu didn't panic. As long as he didn't leave the tower, his Mid and Jungle teammates would soon rotate to support. Even if Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang came, a 4v4 fight wouldn't guarantee they could kill him.
As long as his Mid-laner used their skills well, Xie Weiyu was confident he could snipe a low-health opponent dead under the tower.
The audience with the omniscient view held their breath nervously—
Because when Chi Shu hit Level 6, he didn't gank bot. Instead, he went to gank top, and Ye Shaoyang followed him tacitly.
On the mini-map, Yueying's Mid and Jungle were heading bot, while Tianhuan's Mid and Jungle were heading top.
Cheng Xing knew early on that his Master and Brother Yang would gank top first, and he also knew he would likely face a 2v4 situation. So, he and Qu Jiang cleared the wave at maximum speed, then retreated together and pressed recall.
Xu Zhuo didn't retreat.
At this moment, the top lane minion waves had just met. Old Qin was hiding behind his shield, wretchedly killing minions. Just as Xu Zhuo stepped forward to clear the wave, a purple missile suddenly shot out from the brush, accurately stunning him.
——It was [Illusionist]'s hard crowd control skill!
After Ye Shaoyang controlled Xu Zhuo, Chi Shu followed up closely with damage.
The two dealt full damage and cleanly took Old Xu's head.
——First Blood!
Chi Shu secured First Blood.
In the bot lane, because Xiao Xing and Qu Jiang retreated very timely, when Yueying's Mid and Jungle arrived, they found no opportunity to kill them and could only retreat helplessly.
Yao Mu analyzed, "Tianhuan's first Mid-Jungle rotation went against the grain and killed the Top-laner. I believe no one expected this, because Tianhuan's Jungler started Blue this game. After Blue, then Red, going bot to catch the Marksman was clearly closer, yet Captain Chi took the long way to catch the Top-laner!"
Brother Dong said, "Yes, seeking the far over the near. It was unexpected."
After killing Old Xu, the top lane Blue Buff respawned just in time. Chi Shu gave the Blue to Ye Shaoyang.
Yueying realized Captain Chi went top, so Xie Weiyu immediately gathered his teammates to kill the Small Dragon, recouping some losses. To help Xie Weiyu farm as quickly as possible, Yueying's Jungler also yielded all the resources in the bottom-side jungle.
Soon, both Marksmen, Cheng Xing and Xie Weiyu, reached Level 6.
Not long after, Qu Jiang, having leeched experience from two small monsters in the jungle, reached Level 6, but Yueying's Support hadn't hit 6 yet.
Qu Jiang calculated that Xie Weiyu would go farm the jungle, so he cleared vision in advance and crouched in a bush Xie Weiyu would definitely pass, having Cheng Xing pretend to clear minions in the lane.
A moment later, Xie Weiyu indeed passed by with his support.
Qu Jiang pinged "Attack." Immediately after, he suddenly Flashed over the wall, and his ultimate [Holy Seal] bypassed the enemy support to accurately pin Xie Weiyu in place!
The Seal was a domination-type control and could not be removed by Cleanse.
Cheng Xing, who was pretending to clear minions, had actually been observing Brother Qu's movements. Seeing Brother Qu control Xie Weiyu, he decisively activated his Q-skill. [Machine Gun Hunter]'s barrage fired continuously; not a single bullet missed, all hitting the squishy [Sharpshooter]!
The Q-skill was [Machine Gun Hunter]'s main damage skill, firing 10 bullets consecutively. Each shot dealt damage and lowered the opponent's defense on hit; the more bullets hit, the higher the damage. The result of Cheng Xing landing a full Q-skill was that Xie Weiyu's health bar vanished instantly, leaving only about 5% health?
Xie Weiyu hurriedly Flashed to escape. Yueying's support hit Level 6 just then and summoned the White Bear to block damage. However, seeing Xie Weiyu Flash into the tower, Qu Jiang followed up with a Q-skill without hesitation. [Holy Spirit Mage]'s Q-skill wasn't easy to land, but as a former Mid-laner, Qu Jiang had long predicted Xie Weiyu's escape path.
Support heroes didn't have much equipment and dealt low damage, but it was enough to finish off a Marksman with 5% health.
A golden light wave hit the spot where Xie Weiyu Flashed.
The low-health Xie Weiyu fell helplessly.
——[Tianhuan Jiangshui (Holy Spirit Mage) has killed YY-Rain (Sharpshooter)]
Qu Jiang actually got the kill?!
Tianhuan's fans were dumbfounded.
Cheng Xing shouted in the voice channel, "Brother Qu is awesome!"
The livestream bullet comments were very lively—
[Support stealing the kill?]
[Xiao Xing's attack range couldn't reach, but Brother Qu could. Taking the kill isn't stealing, right?]
[Support? No, Brother Qu says: He has always had the heart of a Mid-laner!]
[No problem there. He's Tianhuan's No. 2 Mid-laner. What's wrong with taking a kill? Don't make a fuss!]
Usually in ranked, teammates might complain if the support stole a kill. But in formal matches, unexpected situations occurred frequently. As long as the opponent died, there was no need to fuss over who got the kill.
Cheng Xing didn't mind. If he wanted the kill just now, he would have had to Flash. He trusted Brother Qu could finish off the low-health Xie Weiyu, saving a Flash. Wasn't that more cost-effective?
The match continued.
After reviving, Xie Weiyu returned to the lane. The Support checked vision even more cautiously to protect him.
Meanwhile, Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang didn't visit the bot lane; they were fixated on targeting the top lane today. Although Xu Zhuo had learned his lesson and wasn't killed, he was beaten to critical health by their joint efforts and had to recall.
The consequence of recalling twice in a row was that the outer top tower was worn down to a sliver of health by the Tianhuan trio.
They couldn't remain passive like this; they had to adjust the tempo quickly.
Xu Zhuo frowned and said, "Swap lanes."
Xie Weiyu swapped to the top lane, and Yueying's Mid and Jungle followed, diving Old Qin 4v1 to regain some momentum. However, Chi Shu and Ye Shaoyang roamed to the bot lane, joining Qu Jiang and Cheng Xing to dive Old Xu 4v1!
Xu Zhuo: "…"
You two are targeting me today, aren't you? Following me wherever I go?
After trading blows, both sides started swapping lanes again. Yao Mu commented, "This isn't just a contest of mechanical skill, but also a psychological game between the shotcallers!"
Brother Dong said, "The crucial mid-lane team fight must be handled carefully."
Both Marksmen pushed towers quickly. At this point, the outer towers in both top and bot lanes for Tianhuan and Yueying had fallen. Everyone coincidentally converged on the mid lane.
After skirmishing for a while, Ye Shaoyang pinged a spot on the map and said, "Qu Jiang, engage!"
Qu Jiang: "Received."
The audience saw two figures dart out instantly like the wind—
Qu Jiang Flashed and used his ultimate "Holy Seal," pinning Xie Weiyu's [Sharpshooter], who was hiding in the grass; Ye Shaoyang Flashed and used his W-skill "Illusion Missile," controlling the enemy Jungler who was hiding on the flank preparing to cut the backline.
Ye Shaoyang unleashed a combo to delete the enemy Jungler; Cheng Xing followed Qu Jiang to deal insane damage, crippling Xie Weiyu in the blink of an eye; Chi Shu marked Xu Zhuo to prevent him from cutting the backline; Old Qin stood at the front, tanking the damage from the enemy Mid-laner's moon blade barrage.
This engagement was brilliant.
The five members of Tianhuan were like well-meshed gears, working together seamlessly with divided labor!
Within seconds, Ye Shaoyang deleted the enemy Jungler, and Cheng Xing and Qu Jiang joined forces to kill the enemy Marksman. Although Xu Zhuo Flashed to cut the backline and took Cheng Xing's head, Chi Shu immediately killed Xu Zhuo and the Mid-laner.
Old Qin escaped with a sliver of health.
Yao Mu said excitedly, "1 for 3! Tianhuan played this team fight beautifully!"
Brother Dong said, "The key was Lieyang and Jiangshui. Two players engaged simultaneously—one Flashed to seal the enemy Marksman, the other Flashed to control the enemy Jungler. God-like synchronization!"
The livestream chat was flooded with "666".
Lieyang and Shuoyue's "God-like synchronization" was when the two joined forces to burst down the enemy core instantly.
Lieyang and Qu Jiang's "God-like synchronization" was when the two former Mid-laners used control skills to engage simultaneously, controlling two enemy points at the same time, creating a 5v3 situation.
In this mid-lane fight, Tianhuan traded 1 for 3, a huge profit.
Next, Chi Shu, Ye Shaoyang, and Qu Jiang began roaming the map to snowball, while Cheng Xing and Old Qin managed the minion waves. Ye Shaoyang's outstanding macro skills and global command prevented Yueying from stalling until the ultra-late game where Xie Weiyu would be fully farmed. Instead, they quickly ended the game at 24 minutes.
Ye Shaoyang said, "Beautiful!"
Chi Shu turned back and said, "I found that targeting Old Xu is more effective than targeting Xie Weiyu."
Ye Shaoyang agreed. "Mn. The reason Yueying won against Beimu last time was mainly because Old Xu seized the opportunity at a critical moment to suddenly cut the backline and delete Beimu's Mid-laner. Xiao Yu's style is more suited to steady play and team fight output; he rarely camps in bushes to burst people."
What a Marksman needed to do wasn't camping bushes to one-shot enemies, but ensuring their own damage output and growth to deal sufficient damage in team fights.
But Top-laners were different. As a former World Champion Top-laner, Old Xu's ability to cut the backline and burst carries was world-class. He could risk his life to find opportunities, flashing in to assassinate. As long as he deleted one core, Yueying could fight 5v4.
This was the key reason Chi Shu wanted to pin down Old Xu.
In the second game, Tianhuan picked a standard lineup. The Support protected Cheng Xing's growth, while the Mid-Jungle duo specifically targeted Xu Zhuo's lane. However, Xu Zhuo seemed to anticipate getting ganked. Seeing Chi Shu hit Level 6, he decisively retreated to base. After healing and buying items, he went to the mid lane bush instead, coordinating with his Mid-laner to dive and kill Ye Shaoyang.
Ye Shaoyang wasn't one to be trifled with. Taking advantage of Old Xu's absence, he suddenly ambushed and deleted the enemy Mid-laner.
The situation became deadlocked, dragging on until the ultra-late game at 28 minutes.
In the final high ground defense battle, Xie Weiyu maneuvered his six-item [Holy Archer] rapidly, dealing tons of damage. Chi Shu tried to cut him but was blocked by the enemy Support sacrificing his life.
Both sides lost 4 people, leaving only Ye Shaoyang for Tianhuan and Xie Weiyu for Yueying. Ye Shaoyang's Q-skill was dodged by Xie Weiyu's slide. With no skills left, he was kited to death by the low-health Xiao Yu from a distance.
Xie Weiyu took two minions and destroyed the crystal.
Ye Shaoyang said helplessly, "Just missed by a bit. He dodged my Q-skill."
Chi Shu comforted him, "It's okay. Let's go again."
Lin Feng walked into the soundproof booth and said, "The first two games are a 1:1 tie, but there's good news. Xie Weiyu has used his signature heroes [Sharpshooter] and [Holy Archer], so he doesn't have many Marksmen left to choose from. In the third game, we'll let [Wind Elf] through. He will definitely grab it. Then, we'll pick a strong control mage to counter him."
Ye Shaoyang looked at Qu Jiang. "The 'Encircle and Arson' system?"
Qu Jiang smiled and nodded. "Mn, let's play that set!"
In the third game, Tianhuan let [Wind Elf] through in the first phase. This was a T0 Marksman in the current meta and the one Xie Weiyu had the highest win rate with. There was no reason not to take it if it was open.
Although this Marksman had some counters, compared to a large batch of short-legged, clumsy Marksmen, this was already the most agile one.
As expected, Xie Weiyu snatched [Wind Elf]. His win rate with this Marksman was very high.
Tianhuan responded by picking [Earth Mage] + [Berserker].
Yao Mu said, "If I recall correctly, in the regular season match where Tianhuan played Yaoguang, they also used the [Earth Mage] positional warfare system. YG-Feather also picked [Wind Elf] at that time."
Brother Dong looked down at the data card and said, "Yes. At that time, Tianhuan's lineup was [Berserker] Top and [Fighter] Jungle for dual split-pushing, with [Earth Mage] Mid and [Time Traveler] speed-boost Support. They relied on speed kiting and obstacle blocking for macro play. Although [Wind Elf] has many dashes, it's very hard for him to jump over the obstacles created by [Earth Mage]. It can be considered a counter strategy."
Yueying's coach had naturally analyzed Tianhuan carefully. As soon as the opponent picked [Earth Mage], he remembered the match where Tianhuan played Yaoguang. So in the P2 phase, he decisively banned the speed-boost Support [Time Traveler] and the split-pushing Jungler [Fighter], breaking Tianhuan's strategy of frequently placing obstacles to disrupt the opponent and speed up macro play.
In the P2 phase, Tianhuan picked the Jungler [Sword Immortal], which was also a multi-dash, very agile Jungler capable of split-pushing. After Yueying finished picking, Tianhuan's last Counter pick was left for the Support.
Yao Mu: "What Support will Tianhuan pick?"
Brother Dong joked, "They won't go for Double Mage again, right?"
Amid the audience's anticipation, Tianhuan locked in [Goddess of Flame] in the 5th slot.
Everyone: "..."
Brother Dong laughed and cried at the same time. "Sure enough, Double Mage again!"
Yao Mu said, "Yueying banned Supports for nothing. Qu Jiang is actually playing [Earth Mage] Support this game, while Yangyang plays [Goddess of Flame]. Dual positional warfare mages—is this the positional warfare Plus version?"
[Earth Mage] was also known as the "Pig Pen Strategy," capable of quickly placing three walls to pen people in. [Goddess of Flame] was known as the "Incineration Strategy," laying fire circles everywhere to burn the opponent's health and mana.
So the combined strategy of these two heroes was…
Locking people up and burning them? The 'Encircle and Arson' system?
Facts proved that Tianhuan indeed had many tricky strategies.
With two Mid-laner players on the team, the coaching staff could be this willful. The changes in Mid and Support heroes left other team coaches guessing in vain!
A seemingly squishy lineup produced excellent results.
Ye Shaoyang roamed quickly to support the bot lane. Qu Jiang could always place wall obstacles precisely, encircling the opponents in the "pig pen," while Ye Shaoyang's fire circles could be placed exactly inside the Earth Mage's barriers, leaving the opponents nowhere to hide. Unless you Flashed, you couldn't dodge.
However, the [Flash] skill had a 120-second cooldown, while [Earth Mage]'s walls and [Goddess of Flame]'s fire circles could be used every 10 seconds or so. You might escape this wave, but you couldn't escape the next.
Under the frequent cooperation of Ye Shaoyang and Qu Jiang, Xie Weiyu failed to farm up. Lacking mana and losing health, he had to recall frequently to recover, while Cheng Xing farmed very well.
In the final team fight, Qu Jiang predicted the opponent's movement in advance and exploded with hand speed to place three walls, locking up exactly three people from the opponent's backline! Ye Shaoyang Flashed and ulted, raging flames burning within the circle, instantly burning away the three opponents' mana. Chi Shu seized the opportunity to jump into the fire circle, taking a Triple Kill with a full combo!
Tianhuan 2:1 Yueying, reaching match point first.
Coach Lin walked into the soundproof booth and said, "Last time against Jingzhe, we reached match point but had a game taken back. We can't be careless this time. If Yueying evens the score, in the deciding game, they managed to pull off an upset against Beimu."
In the deciding game with blind picks, Xie Weiyu and Xu Zhuo could choose their favorite heroes. Yueying definitely had special strategies to deal with Tianhuan, so Tianhuan wouldn't necessarily win.
Once they fell into the Loser's Bracket, it would truly be a slaughterhouse, and the outcome would be hard to predict.
The opportunity for victory was right in front of them; why not grasp it directly?
Ye Shaoyang looked at Chi Shu and said seriously, "Let's play Mid-Jungle-Support synergy and target Xiao Yu to death."
Chi Shu nodded. "Okay."
Qu Jiang smiled and asked, "Is the 'Troublemaker Trio' moving out again?"
Tianhuan had played Mid-Jungle-Support synergy in the regular season. The Jungler Chi Shu used [Chain of Death] to hook opponents over, Qu Jiang controlled, and Ye Shaoyang killed—a wretched strategy.
But this strategy wouldn't work in the playoffs because Xie Weiyu's positioning was tricky and too hard to control.
Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's play the 'Burst Trio'!"
Tianhuan's choices for the fourth game confused netizens again.
Support [Frost Goddess], Mid-laner [Goddess of Destiny], Jungler [Stealth Rogue].
Yao Mu said excitedly, "[Frost Goddess]! This is Qu Jiang's signature hero! It's not the first time he's taken Frost Goddess to the Support position; he used it in the regular season with good results."
Brother Dong said, "[Frost Goddess] has strong crowd control capabilities. If the W-skill 'Three Feet of Ice' is placed well, it can freeze several people in a team fight, creating opportunities for teammates. And [Goddess of Destiny] and [Stealth Rogue] both have high burst. As long as the Support freezes the opponent, the Mid and Jungle can complete the harvest!"
Yao Mu added, "Moreover, the range of [Frost Goddess]'s blizzard ultimate is very wide. It can be used to pressure towers and push, or defend high-ground towers, and also assist teammates in entering the fight."
The match point game began.
The audience soon discovered that in the bot lane, Cheng Xing was solo-laning with [Blood Kin Princess] to sustain and resist pressure. After setting up vision, the Support immediately started roaming with the Mid and Jungle.
Although the [Frost Goddess] Support was very squishy, her control ability was strong. At Level 2, she could learn the W-skill "Three Feet of Ice." The skill had a delay, but if it hit, the freeze lasted for 2 seconds.
Whether one played Frost Goddess well depended on whether the W could freeze people.
Could Qu Jiang play his signature hero poorly?
He was the former No. 1 [Frost Goddess] on the national server.
Before Ye Shaoyang joined Tianhuan, as the most stable Mid-laner, Qu Jiang often used [Frost Goddess] for control. Many teams even banned his Frost Goddess.
It was just that in S10, Qu Jiang switched to Support to protect Cheng Xing bot, and Tianhuan's Mid lane picked mage assassins more often. The audience almost forgot—how terrifying Qu Jiang's [Frost Goddess] skill accuracy was!
Xu Zhuo quickly noticed something was wrong. "Are they doing Jungle-Support synergy this game?"
Xie Weiyu said, "Mn, Support isn't bot. Xiao Xing is resisting pressure alone."
Xu Zhuo said decisively, "Jungler gank bot at Level 6, crush their Marksman!"
However, Chi Shu reached Level 6 before Yueying's Jungler.
Because Tianhuan started with Jungle-Support synergy, the Support followed the Jungler to help Chi Shu clear camps. The speed of two people clearing was naturally faster than one. By the time Chi Shu hit Level 6, Qu Jiang and Chi Shu went bot together, and Ye Shaoyang quickly followed, turning it into a true "Mid-Jungle-Support Synergy"!
As soon as the three arrived, Qu Jiang engaged decisively—
Predicting the opponent's movement, his W-skill directly froze the enemy Support.
Ye Shaoyang followed up with damage to cripple the enemy Support, and Chi Shu easily took the Support's head with a basic attack.
Xie Weiyu had to recall.
The Tianhuan trio quickly took the Small Dragon, then roamed to the mid lane.
By this time, Ye Shaoyang had just hit Level 6. He Flashed in directly, rooting the enemy Mid-laner with a talisman. Qu Jiang followed closely, placing a W under the opponent's feet—another Freeze!
Chi Shu went in to collect the head.
Netizens in the livestream chat were speechless—
[With two Mid-laners helping, the Jungler is so lucky!]
[Frost Goddess controls, then Goddess of Destiny controls. One Cleanse isn't enough at all?]
[Double Mage + Jungle synergy—whoever they look at dies. Tianhuan Mid-Jungle-Support YYDS!]
The result of the Mid-Jungle-Support synergy was that Old Qin top and Xiao Xing bot faced immense pressure from Yueying's sneak attacks. Fortunately, both played very wretchedly; as long as teammates didn't come, they didn't leave their towers.
Sometimes, seeing teammates about to arrive, Xiao Xing didn't mind sacrificing his life. He trusted his Master, Brother Yang, and Brother Qu would avenge him.
Sure enough, once Tianhuan's Mid-Jungle-Support arrived, they controlled the opponents so hard they couldn't even think of escaping!
Qu Jiang froze one, Chi Shu killed one; Ye Shaoyang stunned one, Chi Shu killed another. Sometimes, Chi Shu didn't even need to act; Ye Shaoyang's [Goddess of Destiny] also had the ability to burst people.
After two consecutive waves of synergy, Yueying's rhythm was completely disrupted.
Although Yueying adjusted their mindset quickly and swapped lanes to farm, in the final Baron fight, Qu Jiang used his ultimate to seal off escape routes. Overwhelming blizzards fell, and Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu seized the moment to cut into the battlefield!
Qu Jiang controlled the opponents, and the explosive Sun-Moon duo instantly killed the enemy Mid and Jungle.
Xie Weiyu dealt insane damage from the periphery, but killing 2 people didn't help. Yueying fought 3v5 and was eventually wiped out.
——Victory!
Seeing the golden victory text on the screen, Ye Shaoyang took off his headphones, walked behind Qu Jiang, and hugged him gently, saying, "That engage was beautiful!"
In today's match, Qu Jiang's performance was truly excellent.
Whether it was the [Holy Spirit Mage] Flash-pin in the first game, the [Earth Mage] wall-encirclement in the third game, or the [Frost Goddess] freeze on key heroes in the fourth game…
His mechanics on control mages were as stable as ever.
It could be said that Qu Jiang's contribution was indispensable to Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shu getting so many kills.
Qu Jiang smiled and hugged Ye Shaoyang back. "Haven't played mages in a long time. Glad I didn't drop the ball."
Cheng Xing whispered, exposing him, "Don't you play Mid all the time when you solo queue in the early morning?"
Qu Jiang looked back at Xiao Xing. "I'll make a sequel to 'Cheng Xing's 100 Ways to Die' when we get back."
Cheng Xing hurriedly corrected himself, "No, no! I must have been dreaming. Dreaming you were playing Mid?"
Ye Shaoyang reached out and patted Qu Jiang's shoulder gently. "There's nothing embarrassing to admit. I know your favorite position is Mid. In my heart, you have always been an excellent Mid-laner."
Qu Jiang felt warm inside and said, "It doesn't matter what position I play. As long as we can win, I'm fine being a soy sauce jar (bystander). Besides, your hero pool is indeed much more comprehensive than mine, and your coordination with Captain Chi is more tacit." He looked at Ye Shaoyang seriously and said, "You Mid, me Support—this is the best arrangement."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although Ye Shaoyang took Qu Jiang's Mid position, they were never enemies from the start. Qu Jiang's gentleness and magnanimity, combined with Ye Shaoyang's thoughtfulness and broad-mindedness, made them great teammates and friends.
Lin Feng walked into the soundproof booth just in time to hear their conversation. He smiled with gratification, gently pressing on both their shoulders. "We are all teammates; there's no need to rank high or low. Qu Jiang was great today, everyone was great. We, Tianhuan, are the Winner's Bracket No. 1 and have made it to the finals!"
Cheng Xing howled excitedly, "We made it to the finals!"
Ye Shaoyang turned back and met Chi Shu's eyes.
Usually calm and serious, the Alpha's eyes also revealed a trace of excitement at this moment.
After many years…
Tianhuan had made it to the Huaguo Region Grand Finals again!
From S7 to S9, three years of first-round playoff exits, their results hitting rock bottom. This year, a brand-new Tianhuan entered the Professional League Grand Finals of the Huaguo Region as the No. 1 seed from the Winner's Bracket.
The darkness had finally passed, and Tianhuan would welcome the brightest dawn.
