In this game, TPT’s support had chosen the guard shaman. This talent’s ultimate move was equivalent to teleportation. After using it, the hero would quickly arrive at a teammate’s side while giving them a short invincibility effect. It was an extremely powerful life-saving skill.
In addition, the cooldown time for the guard shaman’s ultimate move was shorter than teleportation, making it also a very practical skill.
Of course, a guard shaman didn’t have its ultimate move at level two and would only end up giving its life away if it came over.
So, who would he be sending his kill to?
Fu Li’s words were concise and to the point, “Power thief.”
The light signaling that Du Yi was teleporting shone on Zhuang Ruishi’s body.
TPT chose to give up its top-laner and support Zhuang Ruishi.
The commentator: “This is a good choice. Wei Ji’s been caught by Close, and it’ll be difficult for him to get away. On the other hand, Zhuang Ruishi might have been beaten up by Wei Xiao, but his health is still alright. Du Yi’s teleportation is ready, and his control skill should be enough for them to kill Wei Ji. Trading their top-laner for FTW’s jungler core is very cost-effective.”
These words were reasonable, but was Wei Xiao that easy to catch?
A system announcement sounded out before Du Yi could land––
FTW.Close killed TPT.JILI!
The great demon king had once again snatched up First Blood.
Each time he did so, it was faster than the previous time, and it was more direct and clean than the previous time. He didn’t stop even for the national finals!
The commentators couldn’t skip out on another round of praise. They praised him so much that even the great demon king’s fans all started sending out scrolling comments, “Hey, calm down, calm down, this is Close’s standard mode of operation.”
While FTW kicked things off in the top lane, what was the result of TPT’s jungler’s two against one?
He hadn’t hesitated when he rushed up to attack, and he didn’t look back at all when he slipped away.
Wei Xiao hid himself and was as slippery as a fish as he bailed.
Although it was a loss to lose the blue daddy, First Blood was still theirs, so they’d come out ahead overall!
But TPT really wasn’t an ordinary team. For them to be able to win all the way to now, and win over the rising RR, how could they be ordinary?
In the moment that Du Yi landed, he instantly put out a detection trap and exposed Wei Xiao’s figure.
Wei Xiao: “!”
This was the guard shaman’s first skill, a ground mine that acted like a vision trap. Players often complained about the guard shaman and called it a toolman in the canyon because its first skill and ultimate move were all enhanced versions of shared skills in the game.
This detection mine’s range was over twice that of a normal vision trap. Although there was a time limit on it, unlike the vision trap that would remain until it was pulled out, it was a really disgusting skill that could be used indiscriminately.
During BP, Wei Xiao had chosen the hidden thief first, and TPT had chosen the guard shaman afterwards, showing how much importance they placed on him.
Wei Xiao was startled. Of course, it wasn’t because of the detection trap; he’d been mentally prepared and had even shifted to a dead angle, but he hadn’t expected that Du Yi would toss his trap at the dead angle.
This was embarrassing.

The commentator: “Close is rushing over. Quiet has to hold on and wait for support!”
The short distance between the top lane and the blue jungle zone meant that Lu Feng didn’t need to use teleportation. Running over directly was more cost effective, but the problem was…
System Announcement––
TPT.rock killed FTW.Quiet!
Wei Xiao died under TPT’s jungler and support’s attacks.
TPT had gotten even!
Trading their top-laner for FTW’s jungler definitely wasn’t a loss for TPT even if they’d lost First Blood.
Du Yi had maximised the guard shaman’s skills to the limit. He’d also placed a detection mine behind himself which allowed him to see Close coming from a very long distance away.
Zhuang Ruishi turned around to run. He didn’t plan to fight against the great demon king at all.
Commentator A: “In fact, they can fight. After all, TPT has two people on their side…”
No matter how fierce Close was on his own, he was still only one person, and he was still a single form death knight. If Zhuang Ruishi was a little more ambitious, he might have been able to double kill FTW’s top-jungler combo.
Commentator Brother Mouth: “What are you thinking? Take a look at Close’s face. His jungler’s been killed, and his killing intent is soaring!”
It was alright before he said it, but once he did, the director really gave a close-up of Lu Feng’s face.
In fact, Lu Feng was an iceberg all year long. Whether or not there was killing intent was all up to the audience’s interpretation.
At this moment…
The CP fans went up to heaven. “Ahhhhh, charging in a rage for the jungler king!”
“Even though my Q Cub’s dead, this sugar’s really sweet!”
“Cry and tremble. Get ready to bear the wrath of the great demon king!”
Du Yi had provided a wonderful wave of vision. Reasonably speaking, Zhuang Ruishi should have been able to escape and live another day. Unexpectedly…
Butterflies fluttered everywhere. They clearly couldn’t smell the fragrance of flowers, but they wove together in the sky as if they were amidst hundreds of flowers.
Zhuang Ruishi’s heart thudded.
The butterfly warlock’s set of moves flew over, and Zhuang Ruishi, who was under half health, died in an instant.
System Announcement––
FTW.Silvery killed TPT.rock.
“Nice!” Wei Xiao praised Little Ning fiercely, “Thanks for getting revenge for me, Brother Ning!”
Little Ning was shy. “It’s-it’s because Cptain pressured him to come this way.”
Wei Xiao’s words at this moment were just like those from a Close fan, “Sigh, that’s our captain’s standard operations. You’re the one who linked it up well.”
Little Ning’s heart was just like the butterflies in the canyon, blown up by Brother Xiao’s praise until it started dancing.
The commentators were in a frenzy over FTW’s wave of perfect cooperation, but Little Ning’s great pleasure was followed by great sadness.
He’d just gotten the kill when the other side’s demonic mage’s light beams smashed into him. All four beams landed accurately, triggering a damage stacking effect––
TPT.Auroral killed FTW.Silvery.
Stringing him up like a skewer of tanghulu, beautiful!
Little Ning: “……………………”
Wei Xiao coaxed him, “Don’t be afraid, big brother will get revenge for you!”
His words had just fallen when Close arrived at the mid lane and killed the Fu Li whose skills were all on cooldown.
Fu Li didn’t even have flash left, because he’d used flash along with his first and second skill. After a wave of beautiful plays, he’d met the great demon king who’d been just around the corner. Life was really filled with ups and downs…
Wei Xiao hurriedly changed his words when he saw the captain kill Fu Li, “That’s not your big brother, it’s Captain!”
I’m the only one who can call out big brother, you guys shouldn’t even think about it!
The informed vegetable: “……”
Continue going wild; you’ll be invited to a personal interview with Glory’s Mic Explosion King sooner or later!
This wave of killing was really an immortal level start to the match for the audience.
You kill me, I kill you, you kill me again, and I kill you once again.
This wasn’t just the mantis catching the cicada with the yellow sparrow lurking behind. There were also evil foxes and big lions behind the yellow sparrow!
A group fight with low level heroes could turn into such a lively scene, it was really worthy of being the domestic finals. How exciting!
The audience’s emotions were stirred up, and they waved their flags and shouted loudly enough that they would probably have to depend on throat lozenges to talk tomorrow.
The back rows were ringing with cheers, but the front row was quiet, especially the section where the Team of Gods were. None of them said a word.
Yuan Ze smiled like a fox, glancing at Yan Jiang out of the corner of his eye.
Xie He’s eyebrows were drawn together in a slight frown, his black eyes fathomless as he stared at the screen.
There was no need to say anything, no need for even half a word. The four of them all had similar thoughts––
Close had changed.
FTW’s lone wolf now knew how to cooperate.
This wave began with TPT invading the jungle zone, but it was obvious that Close’s killing of Wei Ji in the top lane had been the real start of the back and forth.
Although players died one after another, the seven people who’d participated in this fight all exerted their personal strength to the fullest. This included Wei Ji, who’d been the first to die. Even though Zhuang Ruishi had been sent home by Ning Zhehan, he wouldn’t have been able to escape from the great demon king’s grasp to start with if it hadn’t been for Wei Ji’s dying struggles.
Close oppressed Wei Ji, cooperating with Wei Xiao to lower Zhuang Ruishi’s health.
Close pursued Zhuang Ruishi. Although Du Yi had revealed his approach, his positioning was very extreme and forced Zhuang Ruishi to run into the butterfly warlock’s attack range.
Ning Zhehan took Zhuang Ruishi’s life, then fell into Fu Li’s hands, but Close had already been making his way over.
Close’s cooperation had made crucial contributions to FTW’s three kills!
Fans who’d watched countless FTW games didn’t think much about it, but the Team of Gods who were very familiar with Close felt it very deeply.
The more familiar they were, the more they understood.
The more they understood, the more helpless they felt.
How could they not sigh over it when they saw this change?
How would Wei Xiao be willing to accept sending up a kill at the start of the game? He quickly finished clearing his jungle, then started setting fires everywhere.
TPT was the type of team who didn’t like to fight in the early stages. Its core concept was to ‘survive’, and it was inevitable that their team atmosphere was a bit slippery. They would avoid fighting any opportunity they could in the early stages, and the fight just now had been an unexpected surprise.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiao loved fighting. How would he let them just keep surviving? He frequently created trouble for them all over the place.
Reasonably speaking, FTW should gank their bottom lane and try their best to limit Eurostar’s bubble of survivability, but Eurostar-star was really worthy of his cowardly baby name and managed to survive several waves of ganking, making it not really worth the effort.
Wei Xiao: “Brother Cai, you and Old Yue hold on. I’ll first take down the top lane with the captain.”
If the bottom lane was a hard bone to crack, then they’d crush the top lane first. Regardless of whether they chose to switch lanes or force a fight, the initiative would be in FTW’s hands.
This round of decision making was very correct. FTW’s top-jungler linkage was one of the best in the league.
Wei Ji was miserable. “Who the hell can withstand this!”
It was enough when it was just a great demon king, but now there was a little lunatic. This crazy demon combination was really deadly!
Fu Li: “Lose the tower, but protect your life.”
That was all they could do. Even if losing the top lane’s first tower was equivalent to feeding the upper jungle one to Little Lunatic Wei, what else could be done?
If they didn’t choose to retreat, not only would they lose the tower, they would lose a life as well.
One kill was 200 gold. Wasn’t it better to remain alive? Why would they feed it to the enemy!
Wei Ji retreated while Zhuang Ruishi made a feint and attacked Ning Zhehan.
Little Ning did as he was told and used himself as bait. When the three people from TPT were attracted over, Wei Xiao teleported over and pounced on Zhuang Ruishi.
Revenge had to be taken for his death!
Zhuang Ruishi was worthy of being a TPT starter. He had really inherited the crying scrunched up face core principles and didn’t use his ground stab to gank. Instead, he used it in reverse and pulled the pouncing Little Lunatic Wei away from him.
Wei Xiao: “…………”
Ning Zhehan: “…………”
Why were they called the grimacing crying team? You guys should be called ‘the whole team cowers’!
The three people from TPT were cautious and withdrew fiercely as if the word CAREFUL was written out in capital letters.
You want to avoid fighting, right?
Then they’d just take down towers and be done with it!
Wei Xiao continued to assault the top lane while taking all the income from the top jungle zone into his pocket, growing his farm like crazy.
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Thank you for the chapter 🙂 Super excited to read more about the final game 🙂
Thank you for the chapter 💜
thank you for the chapter~ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
Thanks for the chapter! ^ ^)♡
i feel like tpt considers the first (or first two) matches to be a ‘learning state’ where fu li can figure out how to deal with them 🤔
thank you for the chapter
it’s always that case when calculating player like Fu Li meet unpredictable not-really-newcomer like Wei Xiao.
Thank u for your hard work!!!
Wei Xiao: Guys!
Opponent: Fuck it
Thank you very much for the translation
😂😂
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Thx. I noticed some small mistakes with names. Think u said than ze when you went yan Jiang’s medicine warlock and get the kill on wei ji when you meant wei xiao. Luckily these are easy to notice given context.
Large farm>Upgrade gear>smash towers faster 😀
