The two chatted for a while before finally getting back on track.
Chen Jing, playing Yao, stayed in the development lane with Sheng Kuang from level one.
Gongsun Li was a very mobile hero, exceptionally strong at contesting minion waves among marksmen. Unlike the previous four games, Sheng Kuang played aggressively from the start of the fifth game, constantly pressuring the opposing marksman's health. Sheng Kuang was adept at seizing opportunities. When a minion wave arrived, the opposing marksman, with half health and seeing their support approaching, intended to clear the wave before returning to base under the support's protection.
Normally, in a match, tower dives for kills wouldn't occur. With the skill levels being so close, it was easy to be counter-killed under the tower, leading to a situation where the attempt to gain an advantage backfired.
But what no one expected was that Sheng Kuang, seeing the opposing marksman hadn't retreated, dived into the tower without hesitation. Before the opposing support could even cast their displacement ability, Sheng Kuang had already eliminated the enemy marksman and, utilizing Gongsun Li's ample mobility, quickly returned to their own tower.
His maneuver was so fast that it left everyone stunned.
As Sheng Kuang secured first blood, the arena erupted with piercing screams.
Commentator B: "Wow, a tower dive kill! Sheng Kuang was absolutely incredible this play."
Commentator A: "That was a show-stopping play, truly god-tier. Had there been even a slight misstep, it would have been a team wipe. I can only say, Sheng Kuang is still Sheng Kuang, perfectly embodying what confidence means."
The director replayed the tower dive kill by Sheng Kuang. Simultaneously, the camera panned back to Sheng Kuang. He kept his eyes down, controlling his phone. Chen Jing said something next to him, and Sheng Kuang smiled, causing the crowd's cheers to intensify, as if the tower dive kill was just a routine play.
yLs' lineup had a straightforward strategy: four protect one, protecting Sheng Kuang's Gongsun Li.
After Sheng Kuang secured first blood, he gained a significant economic advantage. Once Chen Jing reached level four, he began escorting Chen Jing from the development lane to the mid lane, clearing both lanes' minions.
Agu Duo, being a support, gave Sheng Kuang all the gold from the lower half of the jungle after accumulating enough monster kills.
By the ten-minute mark, Sheng Kuang's economy was two thousand ahead of the opposing team's highest earner, Yang Sinian.
At this point, Sheng Kuang's stats were 3-0-1.
Subsequently, Jiang Zui pushed lanes while the other four grouped up, and Sheng Kuang went on a rampage.
gdt was caught completely off guard. Under Sheng Kuang's control, Gongsun Li felt less like a marksman and more like an assassin. The opposing team's core damage dealers could not expose their vision on the map; any sighting led to them being eliminated by the rapidly moving Sheng Kuang.
Before the sixteenth minute, yLs had already pushed to the enemy's crystal.
They could have ended the game right there, but Sheng Kuang didn't destroy the tower. Instead, he waited five seconds for Yang Sinian to respawn. Then, he tanked the crystal's damage, dashed to Yang Sinian, and executed a "fountain dive."
After Yang Sinian's demise, Sheng Kuang's Gongsun Li displayed the message "Heh, playing well."
His action left the two commentators momentarily speechless, unsure how to continue.
After a brief silence of about two seconds, Commentator B chuckled dryly: "Sheng Kuang probably fumbled and pressed the wrong button."
Commentator A cleared his throat and quickly chimed in: "Yes, yes, fumbled and pressed the wrong button."
The game concluded, with yLs defeating gdt with a score of 3:2.
yLs broke gdt's winning streak and also the KPL's winning streak.
At this moment, the live chat was filled entirely with yLs fans.
【yLs is awesome】
【Ahhhhhh Kuang Zai is still Kuang Zai】
【Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu we won】
【Waited so long for this day】
【...】
Amidst the dense stream of messages, the players from both teams walked to the center of the stage to shake hands. The yLs teammates were laughing and chatting, exuding a relaxed, youthful aura. In contrast, the five players from gdt looked dejected, with Yang Sinian's expression being the most grim. Especially during the handshake, Yang Sinian touched Sheng Kuang's hand and tried to pull away. Sheng Kuang, however, grasped his hand, deliberately lingered for a few seconds, and then let go.
Undoubtedly, this match's
Qin Dandan, known for her professionalism, paused for a moment due to Sheng Kuang's actions, then smiled and asked, "Besides that, is there anything else you'd like to say to your fans?"
Sheng Kuang: "Oh, we're even now."
Qin Dandan: "Even with what?"
"Didn't they ban zero heroes in the fifth game?" Sheng Kuang raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "We're even with gdt from the training matches."
Qin Dandan: "..."
【Hahahaha this is so Kuang Zai, he always gets revenge, it's not that he doesn't, it's just not yet time】
【I feel like I'm seeing the old Kuang Zai from back then】
【Wuwuwuwu although he seems much calmer than before, deep down he's still that arrogant, rebellious youth】
【Kuang Zai, wake up, this is a post-game interview. While I love what you're saying, let's at least save them some face】
【Holy crap, so handsome, I'm dead, I have no resistance to guys who act this cool】
Qin Dandan maintained a polite smile, daring not to continue the interview: "Alright, thank you very much, Sheng Kuang, for accepting our interview. We hope yLs can continue their current momentum in the upcoming matches. Once again, congratulations to yLs on this victory."
