Chapter 72: Stunning Debut! Canyon Fireworks!
Wu Zhuang Tai knew very well that if he couldn’t change the mid lane situation, he would really become a joke.
No way around it, he could only call the jungler in voice chat.
“100,000 Volts, come help me out.”
100,000 Volts now had a splitting headache too; after being screwed over by Li Fan, his jungle rhythm was completely disrupted.
Although he was Lee Sin, it wasn’t easy to find opportunities now.
But he couldn’t ignore the mid lane situation.
“I’ll see if I can find an opportunity. The disadvantage is a bit too big right now.”
“Be careful not to get dived and killed.”
100,000 Volts was just kindly reminding him here; Wu Zhuang Tai had no Flash left, and if the minion wave came in with this health, there was a very high chance of getting dived and killed.
Hearing this, Wu Zhuang Tai felt like he was being sarcastically mocked; this was basically taunting him for not listening to the coach earlier, letting the opponent have LeBlanc, which led to the current terrible situation.
He pursed his lips, staring at the monitor without saying another word.
But Li Fan’s actions here were extremely fast, and his damage calculations were already very precise.
Everyone thought LeBlanc would wait for Jarvan IV to dive and kill.
Even Clearlove thought so and was rushing toward mid lane.
But the fact was, the now level five LeBlanc didn’t actually need Jarvan IV to kill the level three Syndra who had no Flash.
At 4 minutes 54 seconds, blue side minions pushed under the turret.
Wu Zhuang Tai stared dead at LeBlanc; in this wave, he had no sense of safety inside the turret and had to be careful… one slip-up could lead to big trouble.
“Unreal is going in, he’s planning to dive and kill!”
“Syndra is at half health; diving and killing still carries a bit of risk.”
“Oh! He’s going in!”
On the big screen, LeBlanc actually W skilled right in without a care.
The chain followed up at the same time, and the Q skill lightly floated down at that moment.
This version’s LeBlanc passive has a trigger time; 1.5 seconds for full passive mark damage, but it can also trigger around halfway with only half the damage.
With the chain and W skill applied simultaneously, it meant that as long as the second damage segment triggered, it could directly trigger the mark.
Raising hand for Blade of the Ruined King slow…
Although Wu Zhuang Tai reacted quickly with QE push, stunning LeBlanc under the turret.
But at such close range, plus the Blade of the Ruined King slow, 1.5 seconds wasn’t enough to get out!
Smack!
“Locked on!”
“That’s it, he’s done for.”
The turret’s second attack on the still very healthy LeBlanc only brought her to half health.
But Syndra was already on empty health! Turning into another corpse.
On the big screen, LeBlanc’s health was beaten down to one-third.
But activating second stage W active, back to the turret’s edge, easily escaping the turret’s attack range.
LeBlanc was on a killing spree!
All three kills on the map came from Wu Zhuang Tai.
Quite a few people in the live stream room suddenly remembered what Li Fan had said two days ago.
I have a knack for ordering food!
Sure enough, he really treated Wu Zhuang Tai like food and ordered him.
Unreal really never lies; his word is his bond, and everything he says is true.
In five minutes, he slaughtered him three times and started creating another mid lane massacre.
The audience at the scene was utterly bewildered at this moment.
Who exactly is blacking Unreal?
If this is trash, then the entire LPL is full of trash mid laners.
You don’t need to dislike your main team’s mid laner, because he won’t become your main team’s player!
Who said Unreal can’t do it? This Unreal is doing too well!
100,000 Volts arrived at mid lane at this time, looking at the huge minion wave and sighing.
He had thought Jarvan IV would dive and kill, but didn’t expect LeBlanc to go in alone.
But with the minion wave there, he couldn’t just let it get eaten by the turret, so he had to eat the line tearfully.
But 100,000 Volts was 100,000 Volts; bot lane was defended tightly, and the apparent breakthrough was top lane’s Cho’Gath, but he did the opposite, eating the line and controlling Lee Sin to head toward bot lane.
Liu Qingsong saw Lee Sin coming and immediately Flashed to apply Q skill.
meiko didn’t Flash at first to dodge, but then couldn’t escape.
Lee Sin touched up, and the three instantly stuck to Lulu; zet gave a Heal, which was the most he could do—after all, as ADC, he couldn’t sell himself out to save Lulu.
In the end, Lin Weixiang got the kill, preserving a sliver of comeback hope.
But their excitement from getting Lulu’s kill hadn’t faded yet.
Bad news came from top lane.
V…957’s “twin” brother, both top domestic blue-collar players.
Now shivering under the turret.
Because Jarvan IV had appeared behind the turret, and the ward he placed lit up with Teleport green light.
Obviously, LeBlanc was coming!
This was an attack targeting top lane.
Three against one; with healthy Cho’Gath tanking the turret, there was zero operation space.
Dead corner Cho’Gath directly Q skilled; Jarvan IV followed with EQ combo to lock Shen down completely.
Li Fan applied E skill at this time, all controls landed perfectly—even a god couldn’t save Shen under the turret.
Even so, V raised hand for a sword array to try dragging out more time.
mouse gave a W skill and started walking out of the turret, trying to switch the turret’s aggro.
V wanted to E taunt Cho’Gath, but LeBlanc’s second E triggered, locking Shen under the turret.
Skills couldn’t come out; he could only watch helplessly as Cho’Gath escaped the turret’s range.
Li Fan saw Cho’Gath out of turret, directly Q to pull turret aggro, coordinated with Clearlove to take Shen’s kill, then second W out of turret.
【This time Wu Zhuang Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn’t given up all his team’s kills.】
【Teammates died, but I can finally eat the delicious minion wave.】
V gritted his teeth; there was no way around it.
The huge mid lane disadvantage had already spread to top lane; talking more wouldn’t help—better to buy a couple more Control Wards.
LeBlanc returned to mid lane, drinking a potion on the way back; health was already very healthy.
Wu Zhuang Tai didn’t even have the courage to glance now.
Level six versus level four…
Daring to glance would be disrespecting his own life.
Li Fan ignored the mid lane Syndra for now, perfectly showcasing LeBlanc’s top-tier wave clear ability.
A minion wave came up; W skill stepped out for AoE, boosted by Q for increased minion damage—easily clearing the wave with passive.
With LeBlanc disappearing in mid, top and bot lanes had to shrink back.
Of course, the jungler was actually the most miserable.
100,000 Volts felt a chill on his back, like LeBlanc and Jarvan IV could rush out to gank him anytime.
Family, who gets it!
Just six or seven minutes in, constantly worrying about enemy jungle invasion in his own jungle—this match wasn’t worth playing!
At seven and a half minutes, Syndra fell again in front of the turret.
This time the director cut to Wu Zhuang Tai; his face showed no expression.
Li Fan, with very healthy health this time, pushed the minion wave then followed Clearlove to invade jungle.
100,000 Volts’ Lee Sin was nervously preparing to take blue buff when mid got solo killed again…
The more you look at Wu Zhuang Tai, the more annoying he gets.
But Jarvan IV had flanked above him, while LeBlanc came below to F6 position.
100,000 Volts, due to mid lane falling, had no idea EDG’s mid-jungle duo had him marked.
Clearlove’s invasion was solid; he lit up vision, and Li Fan decisively initiated.
Close-range E skill out, no time for 100,000 Volts to react; Q smashed on Lee Sin’s head with skilled auto-attack weaving.
Jarvan IV EQ knocked up Lee Sin; now there was no escaping.
The instant he landed, LeBlanc’s chain locked on, triggering passive damage…
It couldn’t compare to pre-rework burst damage, but this combo left Lee Sin crippled; a light auto attack followed to secure the kill!
LeBlanc now had six kills in hand!
As for Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, they had run far away already.
With the jungler dead in their own bot side jungle, they’d be next if they didn’t leave.
Clearlove didn’t find it regrettable; he went straight to secure first Fire Drake—by now, rhythm was fully controlled by EDG.
Next, rhythm accelerated completely; at 10 minutes 11 seconds, mid lane tower 1 was pushed.
If the current Rift Herald wasn’t so useless—not updated to Herald’s Eye like in Mid-Season Invitational—mid lane tower 1 would have fallen faster.
Without mid lane tower 1, EDG could freely enter NB’s sensitive areas.
This was Clearlove’s favorite; F6 refreshed and he beelined for it.
Especially seeing Lee Sin not daring to approach from afar, his mood was great, corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up.
Li Fan’s trip back to base gave him Hextech Gunblade, Morellonomicon, and Sheen; spell power at 164—damage was extremely explosive now, truly tasting like original LeBlanc.
A mage that could auto-attack people to death for real.
At this stage, except top lane Shen who built magic resist, no one else did.
Thus, a very terrifying scene appeared next.
When LeBlanc ganked bot, Lucian was twisting around trying to dodge skills, but LeBlanc jumped on his face—Hextech Gunblade slow into autos directly chunked half his health.
Scared top laner V into ulting to support.
Lin Weixiang hurriedly used E to create distance, but Ashe’s ult arrived, forcing Flash.
LeBlanc Flashed after with chain out…
Other teammates quickly followed, especially meiko Polymorphing the interfering Braum nearby.
This timed it perfectly; when Shen landed, Li Fan had just finished Lucian.
No way around it—auto-attacking a mage was that terrifying.
With Lucian killed, bot lane Braum and Shen naturally had no suspense, all struck down.
Godlike!
Straight zero-for-three trade; zet’s Ashe took Braum’s kill, while Li Fan achieved a Double Kill.
Freshly stacked Morellonomicon directly at ten stacks.
Current LeBlanc was an existence that exploded just from looking at her.
Bot lane tower 1 followed and was pushed.
Similarly, top lane moved fast; Clearlove coordinated with mouse to push top lane tower 1.
Thus, NB’s three outer towers were all pushed.
Camera cut to Li Fan at this time, still with that resolute gaze.
Female fans in the live stream couldn’t help their hearts skipping; damn director loved these sneak attacks?
This look under the camera was pure critical hit.
“It’s over, EDG takes off on two lanes—because mouse didn’t come down, he coordinated with Clearlove to push top lane tower 1, directly pulling the economic lead to 5,500!” Su Xiao Yan, though a girl, wasn’t affected at all.
At 17 minutes 15 seconds, economic gap pulled to 7,000.
NB now fully defending mid lane tower 2!
“Brother Kai, rush in to start the team fight! Draw their attention.”
“Tower diving and killing, isn’t there a bit of risk?” Clearlove was still a little hesitant.
“No problem, you just go in and open; my gear damage can go full.”
If not for LeBlanc’s rework, Li Fan would’ve stepped in himself long ago.
Current LeBlanc still needed team coordination to buy 1.5 seconds.
“Opening, opening—opportunity waits for no one!”
Being cautious is a strength but also a weakness; League of Legends matches sometimes require decisiveness—hesitating and missing chances means it’s gone.
EDG’s strength shown at World Championship was very strong; being behind SKT by 10,000 gold yet coming back—besides SKT’s perfect setups, EDG’s hesitation was also a factor.
Li Fan yelled loudly in voice, and at that moment NB saw LeBlanc stepping forward; Wu Zhuang Tai couldn’t help retreating, happening to stand next to Lucian.
Clearlove, hearing the shout, instinctively EQ’d into the turret.
Once in, it was all or nothing; he followed with ult covering both carries’ heads.
Next came a chaotic skill barrage…
Li Fan timed WR skill step-in perfectly! Hitting all five NB players.
By now Ashe had maxed her damage.
Gear crush meant one-sided; even Jarvan tanking the turret didn’t matter.
1.5 seconds passed; Li Fan Q directly toward Lucian.
Like dropping a purple energy bomb amid NB’s five!
Bang~
That muffled explosion echoed through the canyon, accompanied by countless dark purple energy shards scattering like deadly butterflies, precisely striking every mark-marked enemy.
“Pentakill!”
The system’s cold yet passionate announcement rang through Summoner’s Rift.
Everything was the perfect setup!
Blood-red pentakill appeared center of the big screen!
LeBlanc’s figure had returned to her spot, elegantly standing as if she’d never moved.
The arena fell into brief silence, then erupted in deafening cheers and gasps!
“Pentakill! Unreal’s LeBlanc got the pentakill!” Ji De on commentary nearly cracked his voice in excitement. “My god! That AoE damage! NB’s double C, Lucian and Syndra, melted the instant the marks triggered—craziest part, the frontliners tanking damage weren’t healthy either, perfectly executed!”
Su Xiao Yan had commentated countless matches, but this scene was unbelievable.
“The step-in perfectly marked them; one Q like lighting the fuse on a powder keg, ending everything! This team fight, EDG achieved a perfect zero-for-five!”
Bullet comments in the live stream were completely flooded.
【？？？？？？？？】
【Holy shit！！！！！！】
【Unreal! He’s real, I’m crying! Said he’d order food and did!】
【Sorry Unreal, I spoke too loud before! Sorry Zitai, I was wrong!】
On the arena stage, NB’s player bench was dead silent.
Wu Zhuang Tai stared at the grayed-out screen again; he was furious—everything because of minion bug, unfair referee judgment…
Otherwise, the story couldn’t have gone this way, absolutely impossible.
EDG’s voice chat was boiling over.
“Nice!!”
“Pentakill! Pentakill! Li Fan you’re insane!!” Clearlove shouted excitedly; he’d ulted to draw fire, thinking he’d die, but it went so smoothly.
“Well played, Fan Ge.” meiko’s voice carried a smile.
mouse and zet also chimed in with congratulations.
“All thanks to Brother Kai’s great open; without him going in, I really couldn’t land damage.”
Clearlove even felt a bit embarrassed.
After this wave, it turned into pure garbage time.
EDG took Baron Nashor then flat-pushed NB’s base.
“Victory!”
Victory emblem lit up on EDG’s screens.
Screen froze; director immediately gave Li Fan a close-up.
He’d just taken off his headphones, revealing a confident smile that shone extra bright under the arena lights.
In this moment, all doubting voices seemed to vanish.
First starter appearance on LeBlanc, godlike rampage, perfect pentakill, crushing NB and leading the team to victory.
Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream screenshotted this moment, sharing to QQ groups and WeChat groups.
Unreal went kill-crazy!
