Chapter 368: The Flow of Decisions

Su Xue leaned over the caster desk and watched the Team Guangzhou versus Team Shanghai game on the large monitor in front of her. Her chest brushed against the microphone stand, but she barely registered the sensation. Nor did she notice how she was holding her breath. Her full attention was on the game. On Seos Tristana walking into the river and on An Xins Morgana waiting for him in a brush. She pushed the microphone to her lips and shouted, Q! Q! Q! Seos gonna get hit

Morganas Dark Binding, a dark crimson orb, flew out from the brush and at Tristana. There was practically no time to respond. But Seo responded anyway. Years of practice and intuition helped him skip the thought process as he flicked his mouse and clicked. His Tristana abruptly changed the direction she was running in and the Dark Binding harmlessly flew past her.

Give vision! Seo shouted over the teams voice chat.

Goalie cast his scrying orb on the brush the Dark Binding flew out from. A blue ward fell from the sky and planted itself in the brush, revealing An Xins Morgana hiding within. He replied over the teams voice chat, Get her!

Seo smiled wickedly. He threw a bomb at Morgana with Explosive Charge and built up its damage through auto attacks. His smile then grew into a bright grin as An Xins Morgana chose to fight him. You stupid, arrogant bitch! You think Im a pushover just because you pushed me over? Keep dreaming! Yeah, cast your Tormented Soil and throw your auto attacks! You think those will kill me? You stupid, stupid bitch! Youre so stupid!

Whats going on? Why isnt Morgana running? You dont compare auto attacks with an ad-carryShe missed her Q, whats she gonna do? This is painful to watch!PLEASE BACK! BAAAACK!Come on, girl! Dont be foolish! Back off already. Hes going to kill you!

The bomb from Explosive Charge exploded! It dealt a large amount of damage to An Xins Morgana, dropping her health to below half! This was finally the moment that An Xin chose to turn away from Seos Tristana and to run towards her teammates closer to the Dragon pit. But Seo didnt let her get away. He activated Rocket Jump, and his Tristana aimed her cannon at the ground below her feet and fired. The recoil from her weapon launched her up into the air, arcing over Morgana and landing on the other side of her!

Zephyr grabbed his microphone and shouted, Buster Shot! BUSTER SHOT! ITS-- BLACK SHIELD! MORGANA DODGED THE BUSTER SHOT WITH HER BLACK SHIELD! SHE DIDNT GET KNOCKED BACK TOWARDS THE OTHER CHAMPIONS FROM TEAM GUANGZHOU! SHES STILL ALIVE! SHES STILL ALIVE!

Inside Team Guangzhous soundproof booth, Goalie said through gritted teeth, You knew she still had Black Shield up! What are you doing!? He shook his head in frustration and glanced at the minimap. The rest of them are at the Dragon pit. Shes closer to us here and shes almost dead. If we kill her fast He ordered in broken Chinese, In now!

Goalie had his Twisted Fate run into the river while activating Pick a Card. A blue card appeared above Twisted Fates head, then was replaced by a red card a brief moment later until finally the gold card appeared. He selected it and stopped right in front of Morgana. Thresh and Lee Sin ran past him and engaged An Xins Morgana, but he waited, counting down the final second until her Black Shield would wear off.

Su Xue planted her free hand on the caster desk and pushed onto the tips of her toes to get even closer to the monitor. Her heart slammed into her ribcage. BunBun! Why!? WHY! She looked from the rest of Team Shanghai to Goalies Twisted Fate holding the Gold Card and shrieked into her microphone, SHES IN DANGER! DANGER!

Thats it for Morgana Rip.Man! Why did she not just back off? Why?That was a great engage by Seo though!I dont know Why would she play it like this? Somethings offShe just got a little overconfident after the previous two games.RIPPERINO MORGARINO!

Seo cackled as he watched the other players from Team Shanghai rushing over to help An Xins Morgana. You stupid fools! She fucked up! And now youre all going to die! He clicked on the Morgana, repositioning himself closer to his teammates. A few more auto attacks to kill her and then the rest will be here. Well kill them all! And Ill finally make sure that no one will remember that ugly beggars face!

Across the stage in Team Shanghais soundproof booth, things were quiet except for the constant clicking of mice. An Xin glanced at her minimap, gouging how far away her teammates were and how much longer it would take them to reach her. She then turned her attention to Team Guangzhous Champions. Four of them had run from the Blue teams Jungle through the funnel into the river. Theyre all here and Ive got no time left. She cast Flash and followed up with her ultimate skill.

Bright light wrapped around An Xins Morgana and teleported her a short distance into the middle of Team Guangzhou. She then undid the chains locking away her power. Celestial power burst from her, lifting her off the ground as two wings spread from her back! Soul Shackles manifested and started coiling around her before firing at all nearby enemy Champions!

Goalies eyes widened in shock. His heart jumped and his fingers moved to both throw his Gold Card at An Xins Morgana while also trying to Flash away. He shouted over the teams voice chat, Kill her! Kill! KILL!

The players from Team Guangzhou activated their highest damage abilities to finish off Morgana and break the slow that would soon turn into a stun. A myriad of colours representing various skills and attacks illuminated the river, while grains of sand fluttered down from the sky and stuck to Morganas skin.

ZHONYAS! Su Xue exclaimed at the caster desk. SHE CAST ZHONYAS!

The grains of sand wrapped Morgana up until they revealed only her outline. They then turned golden, placing Morgana in stasis and making her invulnerable and untargetable! Skillshots flew right through her and other abilities were canceled! Nothing and no one could damage her right now.

Zephyr shook his head, incredulous. He stared at his microphone for a few seconds before saying into it, Wow! Wow! What a play by Morgana. She somehow baited four players from Team Guangzhou, including their two carries, and stunned all of them with her Soul Shackles. For all of you watching from home, hoping to learn a thing or two? This, right here he pointed at the monitor in front of him. ... this is what a high level play looks like

And it isnt over yet! Su Xue interrupted. Look! Backup has arrived!

In their attempt to kill Morgana rather than run out of her Soul Shackles range, four Champions from Team Guangzhou were stunned by the chains. Backup then arrived for Team Shanghai. Zeng Ruis Jarvan IV dashed at Seos Tristana with his flag-toss combo and knocked him up! Behind him, Lin Fengs Kalista drew Tang Bingyaos Braum into her body with Fates Call, after which Tang Bingyaos Braum hurled himself at Goalies Twisted Fate and knocked him up into the air!

Lin Feng grinned and said over the teams voice chat, ZengZeng, get TF first! Leave Trist be!

Zeng Rui glanced at Lin Feng, glaring. He replied, Im the shotcaller. He briefly paused, pursing his lips, then added, Fine, Twisted Fate first. He hovered his mouse and activated his ultimateCataclysm! His Jarvan IV leaped up above Goalies Twisted Fate and then came down on him with such force that he terraformed the earth into an arena!

Tang Tang! Lin Feng said over the teams voice chat while having his Kalista hurl spears at Goalies Twisted Fate. He didnt have to say more; Tang Bingyao understood him. She nodded and replied, Mhm! On it! She then stopped attacking Goalies Twisted Fate and dashed over the arena wall with Stand Behind Me! She looked at the fight. Twisted Fate is as good as dead. The other three will break free from their stun soon. If I move over here Here, yeah, mhm! Here I can knock them all three up!

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, gouging how much more damage was needed to kill Twisted Fate and comparing that to how much longer the stun from Soul Shackles would persist. He then grimaced. We wont kill him in time, even with He sighed and activated Rend. His Kalista telepathically pulled on the spears lodged in Twisted Fates body and tore them out!

You have slain an enemy!

Im here! Im here! Zhang Hao shouted over the teams voice chat. Just a bit late, but Im here! He laughed and activated his Rumbles ultimate skillThe Equalizer! His Rumble tapped several buttons on his construction and fired a volley of missiles that landed in a straight line over the Champions from Team Guangzhou, setting the ground on fire!

The stun from An Xins Morgana wore off. Team Guangzhous Thresh, Lee Sin and Tristana could run again. They could finally try and escape. But right then, Tang Bingyaos Braum slammed his shield onto the ground with such force that it opened a fissure! Freezing coldness spewed out from it and knocked Thresh and Lee Sin up into the air! Seos Tristana was the only one to escape the skill, dodging it with a well-timed Flash. He followed up by auto attacking An Xins Morgana, clicking frantically, hoping that would help him kill her faster. Bright lights flashed on his screen, skills slammed into his Tristana and he continued attacking An Xins Morgana. Come on, come on, come on! DIE ALREADY YOU STUPID, UGLY WHORE!

You have slain an enemy!

You have been slain.

Seo relaxed back in his chair, smiling. His screen turned dull grey and his team lost the teamfight, but hed gotten a kill back. He chuckled and rubbed his hands together, glancing across the stage at Team Shanghais soundproof booth. Fucking killed her! Heck yeah! Now I have to take care of the others! Ill kill them all and Ill make sure no one remembers their faces! Not like anyone wants to remember their ugly ass faces anyway

SEO! WHAT THE FUCK! Goalie shouted over the teams voice chat.

Seo glanced at Goalie and asked, What?

What? What!? What do you mean what? Goalie replied. He glared at Seo and continued, You forced us into that engage! Look at your screen! Look at it! Do you see that? They killed you and they killed me. Irelia is still in top for whatever fucked up reason and Thresh and Lee are going to be dead in 3, 2 now. Great. We gave them four kills and for what?

Uuuh Seo scratched his nose, using his palm to hide his smile. At least I got a kill! I killed that stupid bitch!

Youre fucking laughing! STOP FUCKING LAUGHING! Goalie yelled. He grabbed his hair and continued, Whats wrong with you? This is the third game! Were down 2-0! We were getting back into this game! We were going to win this! What the fuck, dude!? Why? WHY?

What do you mean, why? I fucking killed her, didnt I? Seo countered, glowering. It was a good fight for us! We got her down and shouldve finished her! Why didnt you Flash? You all had your flashes and everything up, right? Why didnt you escape her skills? At least I killed her!

Oh my god! I cant Goalie stopped himself from saying more by biting on his lips. He then forced himself to take a long, deep breath before slamming his fist on the desk. He finally shouted, Theyre gonna do Baron and then what? Huh? How are we going to win then!?

Su Xue clutched her microphone with both hands and cheered, WOOOOOO! TEAM SHANGHAI WON THAT! WOOOOOOO!

Zephyr laughed and added, That looked scary, but FOUR FOR ONE! WOOOOOOO! They wrecked Team Guangzhou! What a crazy turnaround!

WOOOOOOOO!TEAM SHANGHAI IS LIFE!BEST MORGANA WORLD!MORGANA MID NEW FLAVOUR OF THE MONTH!SIIIIIIIICK MORGANA ULTIE!WOOHOOOOOOOOO!

Zuo Cheng felt goosebumps on his body as he turned around and looked up at the stands. There were more than ten thousand people on their feet, stamping and cheering for Team Shanghai. All of them were screaming An Xins name, because it was her bait that started the fight and her ultimate that decided the fight. This is it! This is whats so special about playing League and mid! You make that one play that decides the fight and probably the game and then this! I wish she could see them! He turned back around and looked at Team Shanghais soundproof booth. Through the glass panels he saw the top of An Xins head poking out above her computers monitor. He clenched his fists and shouted, YOU GO GIRL!

Zhang Hao turned to look at An Xin and said, Wow! That was such a cool bait! You totally had them!

Tang Bingyao nodded and added, Mhm! That was really good!

Thanks! An Xin replied, cheerful. She then pinged on the Baron pit and said, Forget about Dragon. Theyre down four players and you guys are only missing mee. I wont do too much damage to the Baron anyway, so this is only better. Go take it.

Zeng Rui nodded and said, BunBun is right. Baron. Lets go. If Irelia comes, just ignore her. She cant do anything to us.

Following Zeng Ruis order, Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao and Zhang Hao had their Champions run up towards the Baron pit. The large purple wurm gave the most powerful buff to whoever killed it, but it was also the strongest monster on Summoners Rift. It had a monstrous health pool and the green saliva it spit out burned through Champion health bars. But between Braum and Jarvan IV, Team Shanghai had enough high health Champions and with Lin Fengs Kalista they also had the damage. Before Team Guangzhous Champions respawned, Team Shanghai took down Baron Nashor!

Thats game! Su Xue said into her microphone, smiling brightly.
