[EDG Murder kills DANFishball!]

"Killed! Fiora finished off the low-health Jarvan IV, and Murder's turn-around shot this wave secured the kill!"

A notification sound rang out.

Wa Wa on the casting desk erupted!

"That's insane, what kind of playstyle is that? Murder was walking a tightrope this wave, a dance on the edge of a knife for a counter-kill!"

"Isn't he a rookie? His guts can't just be called big, they're... they're simply outrageous!!"

Clap clap clap!

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Miller and Rita were equally excited.

Especially the latter, who almost jumped up seeing Xu Cheng complete that counter-kill, yet felt an indescribable sense of precariousness—

Wa Wa was right, the visual impact of Xu Cheng's counter-kill was too intense.

In the LPL, when had they ever seen a counter-kill like this before?

He invaded the enemy jungle alone, knowing full well all three opponents were alive, and managed to get the kill purely by using vision control.

One wrong step in the middle, and it would have been a completely different story.

This kind of "lone hero" individualism, this extreme playstyle focused on the most impactful bloody plays, they had never seen before!

While steady, strategic play certainly had a high win rate and was admirable, what the audience loved to watch the most was this bloody playstyle that maximized visual impact!

"I can only say... a newborn calf fears no tiger. Although the player Murder hasn't played in a match before, based on his performance from the start until now, I've figured him out..."

Miller said with conviction, "This is a player with a big heart, someone who plays the game entirely on personal ability!"

"We in the LPL... haven't had a player like this in far too long!"

"Yeah... and... hm?"

Just as Wa Wa was about to respond, the director's camera suddenly panned down, directly to a spot not far behind Fiora.

There, Ahri, who had recently separated from Jarvan IV, immediately turned around and charged towards the low-health Fiora after her jungler was killed!

"But Ahri is still nearby! Ahri saw her jungler's tragic death this wave and thought, 'Little brother, you don't respect me, do you?'"

Wa Wa's tone shifted abruptly, and he exclaimed with full emotion, "Ahri isn't far from Fiora this wave, there's a chance to end this Fiora's flashy play!"

Whoosh!

The audience below was momentarily stunned by the sudden turn of events, and then the fans of the DAN team immediately cheered.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Don't let him escape!"

In the DAN team's voice chat, Fishball, who had just died, was already urging their mid laner with an anxious tone.

"I know, he can't escape!"

Mid laner Q1 stared intently at Fiora, who was trying to run back to lane, and confidently said, "He's definitely dead in this state!"

As he finished speaking, with a bang, he used his Flash!

"The opponent flashed, big brother, are you okay! Can you still run? Can you hold on?"

On the other side, Factory Director, who was already in the top jungle, saw this and was heading this way.

But since Xu Cheng hadn't asked him to come over earlier, he hadn't expected the situation to escalate like this, and he was still quite far from Xu Cheng and Ahri's location.

"It's fine, I should be okay here."

Xu Cheng glanced around and replied calmly, seeing Ahri getting closer and closer.

"?"

"You're still okay? I can't make it in time, you're probably going to be put in a coffin this wave..."

Seeing that Ahri had already charmed Fiora, Factory Director immediately slammed on the brakes, deciding it was pointless to continue the support and waste time.

"Charmed!"

At the same time.

Ahri's charm hit Xu Cheng, and then she unleashed her combo. Fiora's half-health state dropped to critically low.

"You're not dead?"

Q1 smiled slightly, leisurely following behind Xu Cheng, intending to secure the kill—

After Ahri's burst of damage, she had no other skills left besides auto-attacks.

But because Fiora had been running towards the top lane, even though she was CC'd by Ahri's charm, she hadn't changed her escape strategy.

When the charm effect ended, Xu Cheng had already reached the top river, and the minions on the top lane were visible.

Ahri chased and auto-attacked. By the time both reached the top lane, Fiora's health was critically low.

Just as she was about to be killed by Ahri's auto-attacks.

"Bro, I avenged you!"

Q1 boasted to the top laner who was about to respawn, then prepared to finish off Fiora with a basic attack.

Just then.

A red cannon minion, unnoticed by everyone on the field, finally fell under the focused fire of the blue minions.

The moment the cannon minion fell—

Buzz.

A white light flashed on Fiora. Not only did her critically low health recover somewhat, but her level also increased from 5 to 6.

"Huh?!"

Q1 was momentarily stunned.

The next moment, Fiora, whom he had been chasing and attacking, moved!

He instantly cast his ultimate, R, attaching himself to Ahri, who was practically right behind him.

He turned, landed a basic attack to expose a weakness, then immediately executed an auto-attack flash at a forty-five-degree angle!

Bang! A second weakness was exposed and attacked. His E skill refreshed his basic attack instantly, and he attacked a third weakness.

His Q skill slashed diagonally to the top almost simultaneously, hitting the last weakness!

Because Xu Cheng's hand speed was so fast, to the external audience and opponents, Fiora seemed to have teleported two positions in an instant.

Afterimages seemed to linger in the air.

Then...

Bang, bang, bang, bang. Four sounds.

Ahri, who had been dominating Fiora in terms of health, had suddenly lost more than half her health in an instant!

Conversely, Fiora, who had been critically injured, was back to around half health.

In comparison, Ahri's health was now lower than Fiora's!

"He leveled up!! Fiora leveled up!"

"She even landed the ultimate and exposed weaknesses, is she going to... turn the tables?!"

Miller's mouth gaped in disbelief: "What happened?!"

"What god-tier hand speed is this! He managed to expose all the weaknesses in less than a second. Ahri is going to die this time!!"

Wa Wa was equally stunned, completely dumbfounded: "All I want to know now is, how did he even pull that off!?"

"One Second Four Break? No, this is Light Speed Four Break!"

"Ahri is gone!"

As he spoke, Q1 on the field finally snapped back to reality. He didn't even bother thinking about Fiora's previous play; he turned and tried to escape like Xu Cheng had just done.

But he had chased too deep. With Xu Cheng's health restored and his Q cooldown reset, how could he let an under-leveled, critically injured Ahri escape?

He chased closely behind, and the roles reversed. Ahri finally understood what cruelty meant.

After only a few steps, Fiora Q'd over and swung her sword twice.

Bang, bang!

Ahri fell to the ground.
