You’re Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 186 (4)

During a fight over the elemental drake, TAT’s Maokai initiated the team fight by rooting Tong Yao who had moved a little further ahead of her team. TAT’s Lucian used his ultimate to hurt ZGDX’s carry. Lu Sicheng had no choice but to retreat and look for another chance. At the same time, ZGDX’s Gnar went up to pin Lucian against the wall!

Zilean used R to help Lucian at this critical moment. Thanks to Zilean, Lucian turned around to attack and kill Twisted Fate and Braum. Then he turned his fire on Twitch– —

Kindred used her ultimate Lamb’s Respite underneath Twitch who had only a sliver of health left. Then Twitch used his ultimate to attack TAT’s Zilean and Lucian, both still healthy. The attack weakened both enemies and the moment when Lamb’s Respite was about to end, Twitch killed Lucian but also died!

This was a team fight that lasted a whole 30 seconds!

At the end of the team fight, ZGDX had only a weak Kindred and a small Gnar left. They had to fall back and TAT’s jungler and top took the inferno drake with ease!

— –When thinking back at this round, Tong Yao felt this was the most difficult battle the team had fought since the beginning of the world competition.

During team fights, both sides had tens of thousands of life saving skills waiting to be used. Especially in the late game, all the carries had a Guardian Angel and everyone became a nine-life cat demon…… A team fight could extend from one’s own base all the way to the other side’s base– —

Baron?

Both teams were afraid that the other team would get it first therefore they weren’t going to start a fight for Baron when there was no certainty that they would win.

As the saying goes, Baron could destroy one’s whole life.

Neither team could afford the mistake of losing Baron and neither of the junglers was willing to take the blame for starting the fight for Baron. There was a period of ten minutes where both teams fought fiercely against each other around Baron’s arena yet no one moved ahead to touch Baron even once……

Old K: “Really, if they don’t want to fight Baron, why do they keep circling around Baron. Who are they trying to scare, damn!”

Lu Sicheng: “Look who’s talking now. Three minutes ago, who’s the one who mumbled ‘not fighting Baron, don’t have smite, I won’t take the blame’?”

Tong Yao took a look at the time. The round had lasted 60 minutes now. Both sides basically all had finished crafting their six items, therefore it wasn’t that important anymore whether they killed Baron or Elder Dragon or not……

A team fight at this time would decide whether they would go to the finals or have to buy tickets to go back home.

At 68th minute, the last team fight finally happened– —

The two teams met at mid lane.

When she clicked w to pick a card, Tong Yao almost could hear her own heartbeat. Her soul seemed to have been sucked into the computer. When she saw her red card fly out, she accurately aimed at the other side’s AD through the crowd and dealt a serious blow to the enemy AD.

At the same time, Old Cat’s Gnar transformed and flew into the crowd with his palm to stun the other side’s bot, mid and jungler.

Lu Sicheng’s Twitch stealthed and snuck into the crowd of enemies, then cast his ultimate which killed Lucian with three shots while Zilean was still stunned– —

Tong Yao: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Little Fatty: “Aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw!”

Old Cat: “He’s dead, he’s dead, the AD is dead!”

Old K kept quiet and flashed into the crowd. The moment when Lu Sicheng killed the other AD and was about to die himself, Old K cast Lamb’s Respite to save Lu Sicheng. Little Fatty also moved forward to shield Lu Sicheng so he could retreat– —

ZGDX regrouped.

Then they continued with their last deadly blow to TAT, which was now missing their AD– —

ZGDX destroyed TAT’s base inhibitor and nexus!

As Tong Yao was striking at TAT’s base again and again, she could feel her eyes were becoming moist and at the same time, she seemed to hear numerous flying angels surrounding behind her head blowing trumpets!

The last deciding battle between LPL and LCK of 2016!

When TAT’s blue crystal exploded, Tong Yao pulled off her headphones and directly jumped into Lu Sicheng’s arms.

Little Fatty stood up to embrace Old K and held Old K’s face to give him a kiss on his face to show his respect for that perfect ultimate in the end.

Old Cat and Old K all had wide smiles on their faces. Old K, despite being hugged by Little Fatty, turned to fist bump Old Cat……

The people in the audience who were waving supporting boards for LPL all stood up. They cheered, jumped up and down, and applauded loudly to congratulate their team’s arrival under the spotlight– —

As ZGDX’s five players stood on the stage, Lu Yue also ran up from backstage to join them. All six of them stood in a row, bowed to the audience, and waved their hands at the audience……

Tonight, after three years, LPL finally stepped up onto the stage once again to the finals of a S series world competition. And this time……

They would never leave behind any regrets!
