狠狠躁夜夜躁人人爽野战天天

The caster hastily corrected him, "No, no! Not at all! He\'s the one who got the kill, OrangeKing!"

— Haha, what\'s with him saying Bubblegum got killed without even looking?

— Bubblegum in tears, lol

— Honestly, it\'s plausible

Cheers erupted from the audience a beat later.

— ... Woah, wow!

— Gum! Gum! Gum!

— This much is a piece of cake for our bro!

Bubblegum himself seemed flustered and awkwardly raised one arm.

"Wow, wow, wow. Hahaha!"

Then, once again, cheers filled the air.

— Wowwwww! Bubblegum! Bubblegum!

— 0.04! 0.04! 0.04! 0.04!

In the meantime, the replay went by.

OrangeKing quickly added an explanation, "Ah, player Jam attempted a risky turret dive. IronBall is harder to kill than you think."

Bubblegum was barely breathing with very low HP under the turret. The opponent rashly tried to kill him, but the situation ended up reversing instead. The turret damage accounted for over 80% of the kill.

"Anyhow, a solo-kill is a solo-kill! A defeat for Red Carpets! The game tilted unexpectedly, didn\'t it?"

— Even he didn\'t expect it.

— Haha, talking about himself

— Honestly, nobody knew lol

"Yes! That\'s right. OrangeKing initially said top was the key..."

"Yes. So, I expected the bottom to support the top..."

Mid and jungle looked favorable for Balloon Stars. The bottom favored Red Carpets. Only the top lane was even.

Red Carpets slightly had the edge because Jam was better than Bubblegum.

"If the balance crumbles here, the game could entirely collapse!"

"But what happened to that fiery fight in the bottom lane?"

"Ah, yes. Once... what?! They\'re still fighting?!"

Surprisingly, Almond\'s healing was still at a perfect stalemate with BlackTea and Lemon\'s attacks. Around two minutes had passed, which was realistically not that much time. However, it was quite surprising for one battle to last almost two minutes in a game.

"They are truly toe to toe!"

"Uh... But?" the analyst appeared to have discovered something.

"Their positions are gradually changing, aren\'t they?"

"Yes, that\'s right! Almond is gradually pushing them back!"

"It\'s because of their levels! Almond\'s level is higher!"

Almond kept last-hitting the enemy minions while BlackTea and Lemon were only attacking Tako. The difference in how much experience they gained was inevitable. The level gap was much harder to overcome than the gold difference. Then...

"Ah! Almond! His arrows! He\'s no longer shooting the minions?!"

Almond\'s shadow arrows started targeting BlackTea and Lemon instead of the minions. The shadow arrows continually struck the targets floating above their bodies.

Bang!

Boom!

All the while, newly spawned light arrows continuously struck Tako\'s head.

"Is this even possible while they\'re shooting at each other without a moment to breathe?"

Shooting BlackTea and Lemon while simultaneously hitting Tako twice. This series of actions occurred as BlackTea fired three double-barreled shots, and Lemon\'s toad spat went to waste again.

The speed of Almond’s hand while nocking and releasing the arrows was so fast that the frames of animation seemed to skip altogether.

"Almond is single-handedly pushing them back! This is just purely a full-on assault!"

"Sana\'s damage isn\'t that much, so both players have held on... However, there\'s something called the Saint\'s Curse, you know!?"

"Ah! That\'s right!"

The Saint\'s Curse was a passive attached to the Shadow Arrows. This curse would stack on enemies consecutively hit by Shadow Arrows.

[Saint\'s Curse ×3]

BlackTea already had three stacks on her.

[Movement speed has decreased.]

When three stacks accumulated, the player’s movement slowed down.

At this level, BlackTea could still continually fire her dual pistols. It didn’t affect her attacks yet.

"But now, Tako\'s health! Is gradually decreasing!?"

"Who will be rewarded after pouring out these relentless attacks!?"

Tako would die if he was hit a little more. Sana, left alone, would become nothing. But what if the Saint\'s Curse stacked even more?

Puh-bung!

[Saint\'s Curse ×5]

BlackTea received five stacks.

[Visibility has been reduced]

The surroundings grew dim, and restrictions on attacking started occurring.

"Five stacks have accumulated! She was eventually hit by five attacks while they joyfully exchanged hits on each other!"

"Ah, it\'s getting dangerous now! You\'ll be briefly stunned if seven stacks accumulate!"

BlackTea bit her lips. It was difficult to understand why they were being pushed back. Targeting Almond was too risky, given their positioning. It was correct to kill Tako first, but...

Pa-ang!

Another flying arrow increased it to six stacks.

And one more.

Pa-ang!

A Shadow Arrow flew and bent in the air.

\'Seven stacks can’t happen.\'

BlackTea\'s eyes flashed. The muzzle of one gun swung around, and—

Taa-ang!

The arrow dropped.

"Wow! Player BlackTea! With only one pistol, she stopped the curse from reaching seven stacks!?"

"While still hitting Tako with the other gun!"

"Despite barely seeing too! Amazing, right!?"

BlackTea\'s play managed to stop Almond\'s stacking. Tako\'s health was also gradually decreasing.

"Now, the Light Arrows are slightly lacking! Tako\'s health is going down! The end will be decided soon!"

Almond\'s side was increasingly at a disadvantage. It had been easy to get Light Arrows when there were many enemy minions. Now, the only ones left to hit were BlackTea and Lemon. However, BlackTea avoided or deflected several arrows, and Lemon completely hid behind BlackTea.

“Almond! It’s not about healing me anymore! Just push them back!”

All the enemy minions had been pushed back already.

Almond aimed at BlackTea.

As soon as the healing stopped, Tako\'s health quickly plummeted.

Tako quietly retreated.

Pa-ang!

Pa-ang!

Shadow Arrows flew toward BlackTea 2-3 at a time.

Tang! Tang!

She fired her dual pistols while swinging them and deflected the arrows.

"Wow! Deflected again!?"

"Now BlackTea is targeting Almond too!"

Click!

She aimed at Almond.

[Explosive Bullet]

An exploding bullet flew toward Almond. However, a Shadow Arrow struck the bullet and caused an explosion in mid-air.

Puh-eo-eung!!

Dark smoke obscured the surroundings.

"Almond!! He intercepted the exploding bullet while it was in mid-air!"

"This is truly an incredible showdown!"

"Lemon is still in the fight!! Both sides have to be careful!"

Whoosh!

A toad appeared and spat out poison from a gap in the black smoke.

Almond threw himself to the side to dodge, but…

More exploding bullets struck him.

Boom!

"Ah! BlackTea, two explosive bullets are loaded when the skill is activated. One of them was used just now!"

"Earlier, she shot only one and saved the other. Then she coordinated with Lemon to attack Almond together!"

"But Tako isn’t playing around! He\'s charging in! He\'s too low on health though. Is he trying to die?"

Boom!

Tako immediately charged in and pushed Black Tea with his body. He used a dash skill and pushed BlackTea back.

"The field has become quite chaotic! It\'s a messy mud fight!"

"A mud fight is what Almond is most confident in!"

"Exactly! Lemon is exposed at the back!"

Almond drew his bow and fired three consecutive shots at BlackTea.

Bang, bang, bang!

BlackTea aimed back to knock down Almond’s arrows. However, the arrows that Almond shot were no longer going toward BlackTea.

Whizz─

They curved in the air.

"The arrows... They’re curving!"

The arrows struck Lemon, who became exposed while trying to push back Tako.

Boom!

Lemon instantly received three stacks of the Saint\'s Curse, and her movement speed slowed.

"Ah! All arrows struck Lemon! She\'s going to die!"

Boom!

Almond\'s Shadow Arrows mercilessly pierced Lemon, and seven stacks immediately took effect.

[Fainted]

She momentarily fainted.

Sana didn’t have great damage to begin with, and a basic attack could deal nothing more than the champion\'s base damage, but firing at a fainted champion would instantly kill them.

[Enemy Eliminated!]

[LazySoldier → Lemon]

Almond finally killed Lemon.

"Aaaaa! Lemon is down!"

"Hey! The Shadow Arrows are infinite, you know! It seems like that\'s what he\'s saying?!"

[An ally has been slain.]

[BlackTea → Tako]

In the end, Tako also died.

"What the heck is this battle!?"

"Tako died too! BlackTea killed him in that brief moment!"

BlackTea stood up, veins throbbing in her neck.

"Is this a martial arts novel!? An unbelievable battle is unfolding!"

In an instant, dozens of projectiles flew through the air in their one-on-one fight.

The commentators couldn\'t hide their excitement, but only for a moment.

"Ah... but BlackTea is running away!?"

BlackTea was retreating.

"Ah, yes. Her health was low, you know?"

— LOL! BlackTea is retreating

— BlackTea hates dying

— This is ADC!

BlackTea ran away and had already escaped from Almond\'s range for a while now.

However, Tako and Almond had accomplished their goal. They had pushed the frontline all the way to the enemy\'s side.

***

"Balloon Stars. It\'s regrettable that they couldn\'t kill BlackTea, but this is really good, isn\'t it?"

"Yes. Now, they\'ll stop by the base and head straight for the tower! There will be almost no losses in doing that! They’ve already pushed the front all the way back!"

Almond and Tako headed toward the tower as the commentators said.

Bubblegum had gotten one kill already and pushed the opponent around more easily than he initially thought.

"Ah! He finally caught player Jam again!"

"Bubblegum with two kills!? Amazing!"

Balloon Stars began to take the lead thanks to the outstanding performances of Bubblegum\'s Iron Ball and Sana.

"What is this!? They’re not dying! When will they die!?"

The commentators loudly cried out during every skirmish.

"Ahhhh! Iron Ball! He’s not dying despite taking all those hits!"

Iron Ball wouldn’t die as if he became immortal.

"He won\'t die! He just won\'t! Sana\'s healing is tremendous!"

"He’s blocking like that and still not dying! I\'m envious! I want to play a game like that too!"

Balloon Stars was displaying a solid tank and excellent healer combo. The game was going just as they had planned during the initial ban-pick phase.

— It looks like Bubblegum has no say in whether he gets to live or die, LOL

— Bubblegum carrying~

— Wow, Gum! I\'m going to cry!

"Will the game keep going like this?"

Iron Ball rolled into enemy territory without knowing death, and the commentators grew more excited.

Finally, Balloon Stars reached the last battle in front of the enemy nexus.

"Balloon Stars! Will they go all the way!?"

"The final showdown in front of the sanctuary!"

"BlackTea! Those double guns look like they’ll catch fire! She’s shooting like crazy... but Iron Ball just won\'t die!"

"At this point, it feels like he can\'t die even if he wants to!"

Boom!

Red Carpets\' sanctuary eventually exploded.

The game finally ended after lasting thirty-five minutes. It wasn\'t short, but the match had been quite one-sided. The only reason the game took a while was because Balloon Stars focused on a tank composition.

"GG~~~!"

The damage graph appeared after the game. BlackTea had the most noticeable damage output.

"Wow... you can clearly see how intense the battle was."

"BlackTea looks overwhelming on the damage graph."

"Probably from killing Tako during the lane phase."

"Look at this graph for damage taken," the observer displayed another graph.

"Wow~"

"This is what a tank carrying the game looks like! Bubblegum can be proud of this one!"

"Wow! 50,000 healing!?"

"That graph almost goes out of bounds!"

The astronomical damage Bubblegum took was also completely healed. The caster quickly wrapped up the commentary.

"Alright, everyone. Let\'s take a short break and move on to the second set."

***

The first set\'s ban-picks had been unusual, and the second set’s was no less peculiar.

"Huh? Raina is open?"

Indeed, they left Raina available.

"The Terrorist - Bonnie is also available! This means we\'re in for a real match, right?"

"Is this to avenge GreenTea?"

"We messed up the match earlier? Let\'s do it properly this time! That\'s what they’re saying, right?"

BlackTea left Raina open as if inviting a showdown of their main champions.

— Wow, LOL, main character showdown

— BlackTea, as expected, knows how to put on a show

— Raina vs. Bonnie! Insane!

— BlackTea, even in scrims, never got to use Bonnie before. Wow

— Challenger\'s main character... wow

— Could it be what that guy Almond was most excited for?!

Viewers expected a similar contest to the first set in the bottom lane. However, what unfolded turned out completely different from their expectations.
