Chapter 330: 330 The Elusive Dragon
At that moment, right after the Death Quintet lost their advantage due to the failed gank attempt on Anti-Mage, they immediately switched their strategy to push towers.
The five of them grouped up and mowed down everything in their path. Starting from the middle lane, they destroyed the tier one tower and moved straight to the tier two tower.
Coold and the other three could only wear them down from a distance, and hide behind the line, not daring to go forward.
However, with a single positioning mistake, they still let the opponent make use of that chance. Earthshaker teleported over with his Blink Dagger and ulted two of them, then followed up with a Fissure.
Meanwhile, Ancient Apparition used its ult as well while Slayer teleported with Blink Dagger and claimed the kills.
With his teammates being caught, 09 could only force himself to push forward. However, he then suffered Drow Ranger's frenzied attacks. The team fight broke out rather unexpectedly and ended quickly. On Ye Lingchen's side, all four of them were obliterated in an instant!
[Oh no, oh no, they're dying way too fast!]
[As expected of the Death Quintet. Their teamwork is on point and vicious. Once they find a chance, they will commence a deadly assault!]
Everyone's hearts sank. This team kill greatly impacted Y-God. Furthermore, it allowed the opponents direct access to their high ground.
[Sorry Y-God, we're unable to hold them off.] Coold could not help but feel demotivated. Even her voice started turning hoarse.
[What should we do? Wu'er doesn't want to lose,] Wu'er pouted.
09 and Love Letter chose not to speak; both feeling gloomy.
[You guys just try your best to wear them down. Don't target the heroes. You just need to clear the creeps.] Ye Lingchen's voice was still as calm as ever. He added with a faint smile, [Don't worry, we won't lose this match.]
Coold replied with a soft grunt, then went back to defending the high ground after resurrection.
However, they had underestimated the strength of the Death Quintet. They managed to bypass the tier three tower and roamed free on the high ground, hunting down Coold and the other three.
This time, the four of them just kept mum as their mood sunk to an absolute low point. They had no chance to retaliate and were decimated once more.
[Hahaha. Weak, too weak! China's hosts are only of this level!] The five men team from the Sun Nation laughed maniacally; the skin on their smug faces were all crumpled up together. In the next instant, they showed the middle finger to the screen!
[F*ck! Those b*stards from the Sun Nation! How dare they behave insolently on our land!?]
[Motherf*cking retard! Those five people need some face bashing!]
[Villains intoxicated by their success. This is the typical behavior of villains intoxicated by their success. I'm so angry!]
[Sigh, what can we do when we are outmatched? I'm really disappointed in Y-God.]
...
The comments were flashing in a frenzied manner, filled with criticism. Some of them criticized the Sun Nation, while some criticized Ye Lingchen's incompetence.
However, everyone was stunned in the next instant.
The team of five from the Sun Nation suddenly stopped doing anything on the high ground. They could not even push the tower!
Upon closer look, the creeps were gone!
In DOTA, apart from the heroes, the creep line played an important role as well. Only when the creep line arrived at the opponent's high ground would one have the right to attack the tower. However, at that moment, the creeps were all gone.
Looking closely, they were surprised to see the opponent's Anti-Mage situated right outside their doorstep, decimating all the creeps that came out.
'That's just amazing. If I can't beat the heroes, I'll make a move on the creep line.'
'Unscrupulous. That was just totally unscrupulous! Yet I somehow feel good watching it?'
[You thug, hiding behind enemy lines and cutting off their creep line. I never knew of such an underhanded tactic!]
[Every day we learn something new...]
[F*ck me! That straight-up blinded my precious f*cking eyes!]
The viewers could not hold back their laughter, letting out the breath they held for so long. The dire situation had finally alleviated.
The expressions of the Sun Nation's team of five changed drastically as they cursed in their hearts. They were forced to retreat from the high ground and rescue their own creep line.
By the time they returned, the opponent's Anti-Mage had already disappeared from view with a few Blinks.
However, right then, the missing Anti-Mage showed himself once again. A cunning Blink brought him next to the Ancient Apparition that fell behind during their retreat, immediately putting in three strikes!
Nobody expected the Anti-Mage that never took part in battle to suddenly appear. Furthermore, due to his Blink ability, he was really elusive.
Ancient Apparition had just been on the high ground, not in its peak condition. After taking three hits from Anti-Mage, its mana ran out, leaving it unable to do anything other than run. It then received another hit from Anti-Mage.
After that, Anti-Mage activated his ult and Ancient Apparition was killed on the spot!
Only then did the others come to their senses. By the time they looked over, Anti-Mage had once again disappeared from view with a Blink.
The viewers were stunned, and they felt as though they were catching an elusive dragon.
After some time, the viewers finally recovered from their daze, gasping a mouthful of cold air.
Awesome. So cool!
The ability to casually make a kill and swiftly escape from the battlefield. No other heroes could achieve that!
Such an elegant maneuver was the dream of countless gamers.
The Sun Nation's team was down by one, which directly impacted their progress.
Everyone looked at Anti-Mage just to see that it was no longer hoarding money, but instead going into the forest and farming within.
Battle Fury had the ability to boost HP and mana regeneration. With that, Anti-Mage had sufficient sustainability.
Under the cleaving effect of Battle Fury, farming in the forest was very efficient. Add to that Anti-Mage's ability to Blink, he managed to clear the wild creeps under 30 seconds.
After that, Ye Lingchen did not delay. He maneuvered Anti-Mage into the opposing team's forest, and within 30 seconds, had cleared the creeps within as well.
After clearing the creeps in the forest, Ye Lingchen went to the top lane to clear more creeps. Paired with the cleaving effect, it only took him a few swings to clear a wave of creeps.
The Blink skill enabled Anti-Mage to travel the map and earn gold quickly. Following that, within the creep zones in the forest, one could see shadows of the Anti-Mage.
The livestream audiences were stunned. They could only see how Anti-Mage turned into an unbelievably nimble hero in Ye Lingchen's hands. Running all over the map, raking in gold wherever he went. His gold count shot up quickly as the entire map's gold was seemingly farmed by him alone. Furthermore, it felt like a walk in the park.
Only
[F*ck! Amazing! He's unbeatable in terms of farming speed!]
[Damn, I've learned something. I've really learned it. My hands are itching to play a round of Anti-Mage.]
[Previous poster, give it a rest. Have you seen how Y-God played in the opening? Can you get a Battle Fury within 20 minutes?]
Anti-Mage's appearance was already handsome to begin with. Add to it the ability to teleport as desired, it gave it a graceful feel. That immediately led to a large number of people falling in love with that hero.
The comments were filled with shouts of surprises. Even those that were watching Ye Lingchen, Coold, and the gang were stunned. Why did it seem like Anti-Mage had transformed into a totally different hero in Ye Lingchen's hands?
Under such efficiency, Ye Lingchen managed to farm for Anti-Mage's second item, Manta Style. Apart from the attribute boost, it could also create two more illusions.
Those from the Sun Nation felt something was off and prepared to rush the towers. They continued to gather in the middle lane.
However, right then, the terror of Anti-Mage was finally shown to the public...
