You Call This 'Steady'?

An opportunity!

A one in ten thousand chance!

FPX had never considered that this might be a trap. As a new ADC, it was perfectly normal to see a monster while passing by and try to steal it. What truly convinced them, however, was that they had spotted support Rakan nearby, seemingly providing cover.

What was there to think about?

Charge him!

Defending was meant to stall for time, but there would always come a point when time could no longer be stalled.

But if they could use this chance to catch and kill the enemy ADC, or at least severely damage his HP, they could not only drag the game out longer, but perhaps even sound the horn for a counterattack right here.

Viego went in.

With the massive movement speed from his E skill and the displacement provided by the jungle's Blast Cone, Beichuan's Viego reached Jhin almost instantly. A charged W landed, and one second of control time was already enough for his teammates to follow up with damage.

"Oh no! AK got greedy this time! Can PPGOD save him?"

"No save? PPGOD ran? Is something wrong with V5's decision-making? Thresh is coming, and Kennen's Teleport has lit up too."

"Thresh hooks, and it lands! AK's Cleanse isn't back up yet. He looks like he's going to die."

"Kennen has landed, Kennen is flanking! Huh, wait! Why does V5 seem to be flanking too?"

By now, FPX had gradually realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to pull back. Beichuan and Hang only wanted to kill the ADC in front of them as quickly as possible, then get the hell out of this battlefield that suddenly felt off.

But...

At the exact instant Thresh followed up with his second Q and flew in to land, Luo Zhen kept pressing his F key without stopping.

"Whoosh—"

He stood there and took the beating, then Flashed, followed by Galeforce.

The distance from those two major dashes allowed Luo Zhen to pull slightly away from FPX's mid-jungle duo. In that brief moment, his HP had already dropped to around half.

"Bang!"

Super Ultimate Death Missile hit.

Another burst of heavy damage brought Luo Zhen's HP down to the most dangerous kill threshold. As long as he was close enough, Beichuan could take him away with a single R. Yet just as Beichuan was about to make his move, support Rakan, who had only just left, charged back into the fight.

This time, he arrived with his ultimate, The Quickness.

What did that mean?

He had an ultimate earlier but chose to run without using it, and now that his ADC was low, he turned around and used it to protect him? Had their bot lane truly suffered an ADC-Support fallout?

Beichuan and Hang did not use any skills to dodge. Crippling Jhin and forcing out both Summoner Spells had already more or less completed their mission. As for their crucial Flashes, they wanted to save them for a more important team fight.

Just as they thought everything was over, Little Tiger's anxious warning suddenly came through their headsets:

"Run! Run!"

"Run from what? Their ADC is already low. They can't start dragon this fight."

"Run! Run now! There aren't any V5 members near the Dragon pit. We were all fooled, all of us!"

The instant Little Tiger's voice fell silent.

A Military Flag suddenly descended from the sky before LWX's eyes.

Then came...

"DEMACIA!!!"

But What Was the Cost?

The end of S11 was still not an ADC meta. A two-item Jhin did not have much damage at this stage and time point. He was better suited for poking with Area of Effect damage, chipping away at enemies, and providing crowd control to lock people down. He could serve as the sacrifice role.

That was right.

A minute earlier, while everyone was still agonizing over how to start a team fight, a strategy once regarded by RNG as absolute truth surfaced in Luo Zhen's mind.

The Four-for-One Bait Strategy!

So he decisively brought it up to his teammates.

"This strategy is a huge gamble."

"Let's gamble, Brother Yijin. This is our destiny."

"But what is the cost?"

"Myself."

As a rookie making his debut, emotionally, he wanted to be the one who stepped forward as the cleanup carry and took over the game. But the rationality of an adult who had lived two lives told him that he had to win. He had to use every possible method to help the team win.

Only by winning could he maintain his position as a starter.

Only by remaining a starter could he have a chance to wait for opportunities.

As long as even one opportunity appeared, he could fiercely prove his own strength on the stage. For that opportunity, he was willing to pay everything.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

Selling himself had always been about isolating FPX's Double C. And now, no one could stop the Demacian cavalry from charging in!

Cataclysm trapped both Jinx and Viktor inside its ultimate.

Even if it could only trap opponents with Flash for a single second, that was enough for what came next, because... Camille had arrived.

R—Hextech Ultimatum!

The ultimate from which there was absolutely no escape became the Reaper's final grappling hook.

Corki's Yordle Snap Trap cut across the battlefield, forming a blazing road of fire that successfully severed any hope of FPX's front and back lines reuniting.

This fight's ADC was merely bait. The dive composition was V5's real killing move!

This... was how ADCs were used?

Baiting skills, absorbing damage, drawing the enemy's attention—it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.

You called this Little Uzi? If Uzi saw an ADC position being treated like this by the team, he would probably retire on the spot.

Using ADC as bait—this was far too authentic.

The LPL audience was stunned.

From God's perspective, they could see everything clearly. V5 had truly left their ADC alone there to be sacrificed. If FPX had not lacked vision and feared an ambush, preventing them from going all-in at once, or if they had not given most of the jungle resources away to protect their Double C's scaling, then in that earlier situation, Viego's damage alone combined with Jinx's ultimate could have taken Jhin away on the spot.

Of course, Luo Zhen himself had prepared to die as well. As long as he lured them over and started the fight, it would not have mattered if he truly died.

But since he had not died this time.

Then... he would not hold back!

Mode switch, class change, underworld mode activated!

ID: Jhin

Preferred weapons: "Sniper," Little Smart, Landmine.

Class: Old Six, now upgraded to "Elite Ambush Specialist."

Mission: sneak attack from behind, block routes, explode corpses, destroy vehicles.

Purpose: promote traditional culture.

That was to say—

Jhin's ultimate, Perfect Curtain Call, activated!

Although Jhin was critically low on HP, his position was practically invincible. Ahead of him, FPX's jungler and support were rushing back to save their Double C and had no time to deal with him. To the side, FPX's top laner Kennen was being held in one-on-one defense by Rookie's Corki and posed no threat.

At the very front of the battlefield, Jarvan IV and Camille were carving into the enemy's short-ranged Double C face-to-face as if cutting through melons and vegetables.

The timing for damage was perfect!

"Bang!"

The first bullet targeted Kennen on the far side. Little Tiger had only just activated his E skill's speed boost when Jhin's ultimate blast completely scattered it into nothingness.

"Bang!" X2

"Bang!" X3

The second and third bullets followed, both aimed at the enemy Jinx. Combined with the damage from V5's Double Frontline, he actually picked up the enemy ADC's head.

V5's AK killed FPX's LWX

Jhin still had one last bullet left.

But do not think this was easy. When Jhin's ultimate targeted enemies tangled up in a fight, it might look like anyone with hands could land the shots, but when you actually played it, you would realize something.

His bullets flew out like certain men with kidney deficiency going to the bathroom—they could suddenly split and veer off course.

Three out of four was already an incredibly terrifying hit rate.

"Little Zhen, here! We've saved Viktor's head for you! Fire one shot over here!"

"Here, here! Kennen is low, Kennen is low!"

"Thresh is low too, critically low! This side is okay too."

"Quick, quick, quick, pick one. You can have Viego if you want, but you'll need to wait a bit. His HP is still pretty healthy."

The V5 members were hyped.

Such a huge advantage had nearly secured their victory in one stroke.

The scene in Team Voice was like aunties selling vegetables at a market, making Luo Zhen both amused and helpless. The battle was nearing its end. From drawing the enemy's attention, to using their Vision Advantage to bait the opponent into splitting up, to defeating them separately in the end, they had essentially confirmed their victory this game.

Fine.

Let this final bullet mark the end, with the enemy Double C's deaths as its symbol.

With that thought, he raised his head, held his breath, and aimed at Viktor in the farthest position.

"Take it, this final bullet."

"This Crimson Lotus shall bloom for V5's victory!"

"Bang!"

The trigger clicked softly. As the bullet flew forth, FPX's final hope of a comeback fell.

V5's AK killed FPX's Gori

Double Kill!

Four shots, all hits, with both Double C heads in hand.

From this moment onward, FPX had no possibility of a comeback.

The game was over!

"AK!!!"

After all four of Jhin's soul bullets landed, the commentators at the Commentary Desk could no longer contain their emotions and directly shouted Luo Zhen's game ID.

The ADC engaged with body, then finished with four ultimate shots, all of them landing.

The last time they had seen a Jhin with such absurdly accurate gunplay, they had to go back to the Brazilian Jhin from the S11 World Championship.

That guy's ultimate and W skill landed no matter how he fired them. Wait! When AK played Kaisa before, wasn't his W skill also landing no matter how he fired it?

And now add Jhin on top of that?

Was this guy sure he had not come from an FPS Game background? His aim seemed exceptionally accurate.

Throughout the Demacia Cup, his hit rate had indeed been very high. But the question was... why was he called AK?

Tap fire, tap fire, do you understand? If he used a sniper rifle, with only a few bullets per match, wouldn't the coach carry him out with his chair before long?

V5 really did... find treasure at Pinxi xi this season.

Economic advantage, Vision Advantage, level advantage, equipment advantage.

When all four advantages came together, it meant absolute dominance on the Frontline Battlefield. Facing the kind of damage V5 Side could dish out casually enough to make people pregnant, FPX attempted one final suicidal attack, but ultimately could not withstand the terrifying pressure from the minion waves and typed GG.

1:0

V5 took first blood in the series and claimed the opening victory!
