EBE Chapter 1016 Contradictions
Chapter 1016 Contradictions
Xu Mo's Azir versus Faker's LeBlanc is the ultimate game between spear and shield.
Faker played with great pressure, frequently using "Shadow Phantom (W)" to move forward and stepping out "Malice Mark (Passive)" to deplete Xu Mo's health.
But Xu Mo's response was terrifyingly calm. He never took advantage of the enemy's attacks, and used the Sand Soldier's "W - Heritage of Shurima" to place him at a delicate distance, which not only helped the ranged soldiers, but also limited the landing point of Faker's W. Whenever Faker stepped on him, Xu Mo would always retreat immediately and command the Sand Soldier to attack once, triggering "Arcane Comet", and never lost out in blood exchange.
Every move and every skill released by both sides seemed to have been precisely calculated by a supercomputer, making all the spectators nervous.
Karsa's Prince chose a quick 1-lane gank route from the red lane, aiming directly at Ornn who had no displacement in the top lane. However, T's vision seemed to be able to see into the future. Oner's Lee Sin started the jungle in a mirror image, and had already set up defensive wards in the river bush. When Karsa's EQ combo was about to provoke Ornn, Oner's Lee Sin accurately hit Prince with a "Soundwave (Q)", followed by a second Q, and cooperated with Ornn's "Bellows (W)", instantly hitting the plasma effect, forcing back RNG's first wave of offensive. The first confrontation between the two junglers ended in a draw, but the LCK-style operational pressure was already beginning to emerge.
The combination of Uzi and Ming played very fiercely. Ming's Rakan caught the moment when Leona raised her hand with "Zenith Blade (E)" and lifted Varus with "Grand Debut (W)". Uzi's Kaisa immediately followed up with "Icathian Rainfall (Q)" and general attacks. But Keria's Leona reacted quickly and stun Rakan with "Dawnbreaker Shield (Q)". After being knocked to the ground, Gumayusi's Varus immediately pulled away and accurately shot "Piercing Arrow (Q)" with full power through the line of soldiers, consuming nearly a quarter of Kaisa's health. Although RNG took the initiative, it did not gain any advantage.
At 1 minutes, the game entered the crucial battle for the fourth dragon (earth dragon). T took advantage of Varus's poke and took the lead in occupying a favorable position in front of the dragon pit, forcing RNG to attack from the narrow river entrance.
At this critical moment, Xu Mo saw the man with the nightingale tattoo in the audience.
That cold smile seemed to have unlocked the seal deep in his memory.
"Om-"
His mind went blank in an instant. The scene before Anya's death, the desperate cry in the lullaby, the provocation of the black snake... all the scenes intertwined together, like a heavy hammer, hitting his nerves hard!
"Mozi! Let's start the team fight! Push them!" Uzi's roar exploded in the headphones.
On the battlefield, Faker seized this fleeting opportunity! His LeBlanc, like a top assassin, saw the only flaw of his prey!
LeBlanc's figure instantly rushed to Uzi's Kaisa's face, and the distance was shortened to the extreme!
The purple chain shot out like a poisonous snake, accurately binding Kaisa who was trying to retreat!
The first damage of the chain was triggered, and the deceleration effect made Kai'Sa unable to move. One second later, the binding effect was generated, and Kai'Sa was firmly fixed in place!
Immediately afterwards, Faker pressed his R key and copied the Q skill "Repeat the Same Trick (R+Q)". Two purple magic seals hit Kaisa almost at the same time and exploded instantly!
Uzi's health bar disappeared within a second!
"What happened to Mo Shen?!" Miller's voice was filled with incredible fear. "His Azir was in a daze! During the whole process of Faker killing Uzi, he didn't use his ultimate! He didn't use 'Wall of Guards' to push Leblanc away! He didn't even use EQ to adjust his position!"
Xu Mo's fingers, the fingers that could command thousands of troops in the canyon and complete micron-level operations, were now as stiff as if they were filled with lead. He saw the opportunity, his brain issued an order, but his body was frozen by the chill from the depths of his soul.
This fatal 0.5 seconds caused RNG's entire formation to completely collapse.
Without its core DPS, RNG was like a pile of loose sand. Keria's Leona seized the opportunity and used her ultimate "Solar Flare (R)" from the sky, exploding in the center of the RNG crowd, stunning Jarvan and Rakan. T1 counterattacked with all its members, crushing the enemy with ease.
"Double Kill!"
"Triple Kill!"
"ACE!"
Destroy the group!
T1 won the decisive battle with a perfect team battle of zero for five, and took the Nash Baron without any suspense.
There was dead silence in RNG's internal voice chat.
There was only the "hissing" sound of electricity and everyone's heavy breathing.
The shadow of failure, like the purple halo of the Baron Buff, hangs over everyone's heart.
"mine."
Xu Mo's voice broke the silence, hoarse but unusually clear.
"This wave is my problem. Prepare to defend the high ground and follow my command."
There was no apology or frustration in his voice, only a pure coldness after all distractions were burned away. The ghost from the past not only failed to defeat him, but instead, like a whetstone, sharpened all his anger, regret and pain into an extremely sharp blade of revenge.
His anger and sadness needed an outlet, and the Summoner's Rift before him was his only place to vent.
With the Baron Buff, T1 pressed forward from the break. Varus's "Piercing Arrow (Q)" was like a precise cannonball, constantly consuming the health of the highland tower. The five RNG players were pinned down under the tower, and the defeat seemed inevitable.
Just when T1 was gathering and preparing to force their way to the high ground and end the game in one wave, Xu Mo made a move.
His eyes were fixed on Faker, who thought he was at a safe distance. In order to achieve a higher burst, LeBlanc used W to move forward and then used the second W to return.
It's now!
Xu Mo's fingers turned into a phantom on the keyboard!
"W - Legacy of Shurima"! He inserted a sand soldier into the deepest part of the T1 formation at an incredible angle, even passing Faker and landing behind the support Leona!
"Q - Crazy Sand Attack!" He commanded all the sand soldiers to gather towards the sand soldier farthest away!
"E - Quicksand Shift"! At the moment when the sand soldiers moved, his Azir turned into a golden stream of light and rushed forward with the sand soldiers! His body, like a bullet, instantly passed through the impregnable front row of T1!
"What is Mo Shen going to do? Is he going to rush in alone?!" Wawa's voice had reached its limit.
However, this is not the end!
Just when his body was about to collide with the sand soldiers, and when everyone thought he was going to stop at the center of the T1 formation—
A flash of golden light! Xu Mo's Azir did not stop, but took advantage of the momentum of his E skill and used flash to move forward another 400 yards! He appeared behind the five T1 players like a teleporting ghost!
He came to a position that no one could have imagined! A perfect position that put all five T1 players within attack range!
"Is this the legendary 'hearse drift'?!"
Xu Mo pressed his R key.
A magnificent, insurmountable wall composed of soldiers in golden armor rose from the ground!
“Shurima—!”
Along with Azir's domineering roar, this golden wall, like the hand of God, fiercely pushed the five closely-positioned T1 players backwards!
They were pushed away from the safe zone, pushed away from the advantageous terrain, pushed under RNG's defense tower, and pushed into the death net that RNG had already opened!
A perfect, historic, five-man pushback!
“Oh my god!!!!” Miller had already stood up from his chair, screaming at the top of his lungs, “God! Has! Come!! He used his own body as bait and Flash as a pen to draw a dividing line between despair and hope! He pushed the entire T1 back!”
The subsequent scenes have become the muscle memory of RNG players.
Letme's Kennen flashed into the field and used the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison to instantly stun five people!
Ming's Luo activated his ultimate skill, rushed into the crowd, and used his charm and control to the maximum!
Uzi's Kaisa activated his ultimate, like a true Void Assassin, flew towards T1's vulnerable back row and started harvesting!
Karsa's Prince's ultimate skill blocked and trapped the last survivor!
This is a perfect ultimate skill combo that will go down in the history of League of Legends!
T1's formation was like paper and evaporated in an instant in front of Xu Mo's shocking counterattack!
"ACE!"
The golden words "Team wiped out" lit up on the screen again. But this time, the one who fell was the arrogant T1.
"One wave! One wave! One wave!" The roar of those who survived the disaster was heard in the RNG team voice.
The five RNG players, along with a wave of minions, rushed towards the T1 base from their own high ground like a torrent of revenge.
Finally, amid thunderous cheers from the audience, Xu Mo's Desert Emperor personally detonated the red crystal hub.
"victory!"
The golden "VICTORY" blooms.
Xu Mo calmly took off his headphones. He did not look at his ecstatic teammates, but once again cast his gaze towards the corner of the audience.
There was no one there.
But he knew that person saw it. Saw his response.
With a thrilling reversal and a miraculous personal show, he gave the loudest response to the organization hidden in the darkness:
You can wake me up from my nightmare.
But you can never knock me down.
The Busan MSI finals turned into a peak civil war in the LPL. This news was like a depth bomb, exploding huge waves in the vast ocean of the Chinese e-sports circle. The entire network was caught in a complex and fanatical emotion - both the pride of the region's glory and the cruelty of "the palm and the back of the hand are all flesh".
Weibo, Bilibili, Hupu, NGA...all e-sports related forums have become battlefields for RNG and EDG fans.
Under the blessing barrage of “Congratulations to LPL!” there are two distinct camps.
RNG fans, known as "Royal Za", have made countless animated pictures and video collections of Xu Mo's "God-like" Azir repost, with the eye-catching title "God, No Need to Say More". They firmly believe that with the sharpest spear of "Mo Shen", RNG is unstoppable, and their slogan is "Pointing to Busan, the Royal Family reaches the peak!"
EDG fans calmly posted a picture of EDG's performance, which was a steady and almost scary upward curve. They quoted classics and analyzed that RNG's style of play was too dependent on individual ability, and that it would sooner or later reveal its flaws in front of EDG's precision instrument-like operating system. Their slogan was "The Knight Returns, Kill the God and Prove the Way!"
The classic "Pig vs. Dog" meme was changed into the "Pig vs. Dog God" meme. Next to the avatars of Uzi and Clearlove (as a coach), there is Xu Mo, who is shrouded in shadows and has sharp eyes.
"The highlight: Mo Shen vs Scout. The ultimate duel between spear and shield. It depends on whether Mo Shen can tear apart EDG's iron bucket formation, or Scout can drag down Mo Shen's offensive rhythm."
"I'm betting on EDG. Their resilience is ingrained in their bones. In a BO5 (although the final was a BO3, fans are used to discussing it in terms of BO5), you can always trust EDG's ability to adjust."
"Do you understand? Today's RNG is not the same as before! The existence of Mo Shen makes the upper limit of this team immeasurable! Look at the game against T1. He lost focus for seconds, but he recovered with a miracle minutes later. How can a monster with this mentality lose?"
Arguments, analysis, toxic advice, prayers... countless data streams converge into a majestic idea, crossing the Yellow Sea and focusing on the venue that is about to witness history.
Inside the stadium, the lights were as bright as the stars, and in the center of the huge final stage, the MSI championship trophy reflected a cold and attractive glow. The cheers of tens of thousands of spectators merged into a physical sound wave, and the red "RNG" and blue "EDG" cheering sticks formed a clear boundary in the audience seats.
"Dear audience! Welcome to the finals of the 2022 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship!" On the commentary booth, Wawa's voice was full of infectiousness. His voice was naturally suitable for such a big scene. "A match that will be the happiest and most entangled for us LPL fans! A civil war that represents the highest glory of our division! It's about to begin!"
Miller's eyes were more focused. He adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "That's right! RNG showed us what 'heroism in desperate situations' is in the semi-finals. Mo's personal ability can be said to be at the top of all mid-lane players. And EDG is the ultimate embodiment of team discipline. They have been so steady that it's breathtaking. Today is the ultimate collision of spear and shield!"
Amid thunderous cheers, the two teams came on stage. Xu Mo walked in the middle of the team. He could feel the stage trembling slightly and hear the fans shouting their IDs in Chinese. He calmly glanced at the audience, and the messenger of "Nightingale" did not appear again.
But he knew they were watching. In some luxury suite, in front of a screen on some military base, they were waiting for him to collapse again.
He and Scout shook hands in the middle and looked into each other's eyes. Scout's eyes were full of fighting spirit and respect, while Xu Mo's eyes were as deep as the abyss.
