Chapter 180: Champagne at halftime, Happy wins the championship (Part )
"The sword energy traverses thirty thousand miles, and the sword light chills nineteen states! This sword lady has gone crazy with killing!"

Wang Duoduo's clear and passionate exclamation echoed in the Jinghong Bridge venue.

And the cheers of countless fans present were one after another.

In the second round of the LPL Season 1 Spring Playoffs, Fanhua faced Xingxin.

The score at this time is 1:2, Xingxin is 2.

And in the fourth game, with Tang Rou's Fiora going around the dragon pit and getting a triple kill, it seemed that Xingxin would be able to advance into the winner's group with their heads held high without having to listen to the battle song.

"Long live the Roushen!"

“The best offensive top laner in the league!”

"Dansha speaks! Rouhei speaks! Kneel down!"

Today is definitely a day for Tang Rou fans to be proud of.

As early as when the current version was just announced and the top lane ecology changed drastically, some people discussed whether this version of Tang Rou would be incredibly strong.

After all, the emphasis on laning, the abolition of lane swapping, and the great strengthening of offensive top heroes, each change seems to be tailor-made for Tang Rou.

However, this completely reasonable and well-founded view was criticized by a large number of people who like to have fun, led by the members of the Dansha Bar.

The Dansha Bar was established after the time when Fanhua crushed Xingxin. Until now, it has been becoming more and more obsessed with slandering Tang Rou.

Tang Rou's traffic is indeed too high, and she is indeed too controversial. As such, she is destined to have no shortage of crazy black fans.

It didn't take long for everyone to go from being able to patiently discuss Tang Rou's highlights and flaws at the beginning to just throwing away their brains and starting the crazy and mindless black mode.

"No, the soft blowing has started again, right?"

"The playoffs haven't even started yet and they're already starting to make trouble!"

"No, why doesn't Roushen take big trees and stones? Don't you want to or can't?"

"Wait for the Cinnabar Bar incident to go to 2:0."

Tang Rou’s haters are quite rampant nowadays.

Throughout the regular season, the top lane has tended to be a tank-tank battle.

Treant Mannar is the top lane hero with the highest selection rate.

But for Tang Rou, she is really not very good at playing tanks.

It’s not that her operation can’t keep up, but that she can’t stand that kind of chaotic atmosphere.

She always wants to attack aggressively and suppress the opponent, and in this version where the top laner lags behind in economy and experience at the beginning, she can basically catch anyone she wants.

Throughout the regular season, Tang Rou won both the title of solo kill king and the title of being killed by a single player, and both statistics were far ahead of the second place.

This results in that even if she wins a lot of games and wins them easily, Tang Rou's KDA will never be that good.

The haters have no shortage of GIFs of Tang Rou’s sudden death to watch.

You know, for professional fans, if they want to prove whether Tang Rou is strong or weak, they need sufficient understanding of the game, a lot of data support, and enough game viewing.

But for those who like to have fun and those who are obsessed with sex, a few GIFs are enough to prove that Tang Rou is worthless.

After Tang Rou's previous experience of being slapped in the face for her harsh words before the game, this time facing the overwhelming ridicule and doubts, the fans of Xingxin and Tang Rou chose to shut up and wait.

They believe that Tang Rou, who has finally waited for her own opportunity to blossom, will definitely give her fans a perfect answer.

And that's exactly what happened.

In the first game, Xingxin on the blue team locked Jian Ji on the first floor.

Although Zhao Yang quickly defeated Noxus, who was also a son of the same version, Tang Rou, who had been holding back for half a season, went on a killing spree.

With Baozi's frequent help and Ye Xiu teleporting almost entirely to the top lane, Tang Rou, no longer restrained, sword in hand, charges forward!

Tang Rou was in an especially good state today, with murderous intent boiling in her.

At level one, he pushed the line forward by blocking the line and exchanging blood. After grabbing level two, he pushed the line directly into the tower. Laurent's Heart's Eye blocked Noxus's Ruthless Iron Hand with a knife, and then made another basic attack.

Zhao Yang's Noxus was reduced to half health.

Then Baozi came and caught it.

Since Mo Fan still believed that Zhao Yang could hold on, he mainly helped Zhang Jiale and was not in the upper half at this time.

Xiye was badly suppressed by Ye Xiu in the line of troops and was also unable to support the top lane.

The moment Fiora reached level 3, Baozi's excavator came to the top lane on time to cooperate in tower diving.

With the cooperation of the third-level Fiora and the Excavator, even if Zhao Yang flashed and used the Great Kill to recover blood and wanted to leave, he could not escape Tang Rou's fierce pursuit.

In the end, it just forced Baozi to flash.

After completing the tower dive at level 3, the pace was no longer under Fanhua's control.

At level 6, Tang Rou seized the opportunity to reach level 6, and after making Tiamat, she used her ultimate to kill Zhao Yang's Noxus with full health.

Four flaws appeared under Noxus's feet, as if counting down Noxus' life.

Zhao Yang guessed that Tang Rou would fight fiercely, but he didn't expect her to fight so crazily.

Is it really realistic to surpass a full-health Noxus?
Reality!

Fiora stepped on the ground with rhythmic movements, and moved forward despite Noxus's bluffing All-Kill, starting with a basic attack to break the recent flaw.

Zhao Yang reacted quickly and used Ruthless Iron Hand to control Fiora under the tower. He wanted to cooperate with the defensive tower to punish Fiora's recklessness, but the start of this skill was too obvious.

QW went forward to close the second flaw, while Laurent's Heart Eye Knife came out again, blocking accurately and stunning Noxus!

Then the third, and the fourth. All four breaks were played, and the blood recovery array was triggered. Fiora stood in it, easily making up the last damage to kill Noxus, and then calmly took the last tower damage and left in style.

Tang Rou's eyes were eerily calm, as if what she had just done was just a routine occurrence.

But the feat of killing the enemy by jumping over the tower with full health is enough to make fans cheer.

There was no suspense. After getting two kills, Fiora was unstoppable. Her emotionless solo push made the entire Fanhua team run for their lives.

With the last team fight, Zhang Jiale, who carried the last hope, was exploited by Fiora and was killed instantly. Xingxin won the first game.

In the second game, Fanhua, who switched to the blue side, chose to steal the opponent and took down Fiora.

But Zhao Yang was unable to achieve such an effect.

Tang Rou's judgment of him based on intuition before the game was very accurate.

During the laning phase, although Mo Fan changed his mindset and chose to gank several times, even though he managed to gank Tang Rou once, he was unable to achieve the same suppressive effect as in the first game.

Zhao Yang certainly didn't have Tang Rou's fierce focus. Even when he was laning alone, he was always paying attention to the situation on the front.

When Xingxin's military line was in danger, they forced a team fight in the dragon pit and tricked Zhao Yang into teleporting.

In the end, although Zhao Yang was also solo-laning with Fiora, he was not able to lead the team to victory like Tang Rou.

On the contrary, Xingxin's mid and bottom players developed rapidly as Fanhua paid less attention to them, taking over the game and bringing the score to 0:2.
Although Fanhua, who lost two games in a row, returned to the style of defending the bottom lane in the third game, removed Fiora, and won back a game with the crazy burst of Zhang Jiale,

But everyone can clearly understand one thing:

Xingxin, the outcome has been decided.

The ban positions in this version were already in short supply, and Tang Rou even managed to get herself a ban position for Fiora.

The already difficult BP made things even more difficult.

Sure enough, in the fourth game, after Fanhua gritted her teeth and released her, Tang Rou chose Fiora again, and the game once again fell into the rhythm of the top lane solo that made Fanhua's fans despair.

"Han Yanrou, this unique top laner who has been in the spotlight since the beginning of the season, seems to have been walking on a thorny road throughout the regular season!"

"The meta didn't favor her. She was targeted by every opponent of Happy in the game. She was even more controversial among fans, with both praise and criticism."

"And today, all the suffering along the way turned into blooming flowers. With her impeccable performance, she outshined all the other flowers!"

"Let us congratulate Happy. They defeated the strong opponent Fanhua 3-1 and fulfilled all the expectations of the fans before the game!"

With the commentary bringing out the most immersive and exciting words, Xingxin pushed down the main crystal of Fanhua.

Zhao Yang's face turned a little pale.

Today, he, who was the most stable, became the breakthrough point.

It's not because he is unstable, but because he is too stable.

Because he plays it safe, his solo laning doesn't have the flavor of Tang Rou, and he's unable to just break through the laning phase without caring about anything.

A hand was placed on his shoulder. It was Zhang Jiale who passed two young players.

"Don't be discouraged, there is still a chance." Zhang Jiale smiled and didn't seem to feel very disappointed because of the failure.

That’s right, thanks to the double-elimination system, Fanhua still has another chance.

But if they want to win the championship, the other three teams in the semi-finals will have to fight them at least three times.

The chance...seems a little slim.

After the game, the Dansha bar exploded.

This paradise for black fans, which had been rampant for three full months, was denounced by Tang Rou's proud fans on this day.

"Can such a filthy place continue to exist?"

"Where's Heizi? Keep shouting! Shout louder!"

Faced with such a strong adverse situation, the indigenous people showed their cowardly spirit and pretended to be dead collectively.

Some people who like to have fun even turned into fence-sitters and switched sides.

In e-sports, results speak for themselves.

Xingxin defeated Fanhua with such a huge advantage, and Tang Rou defeated Zhao Yang who had defeated her head-on before.

Then the fans of Xingxin and Tang Rou are qualified to show their disapproval after the game.

Since then, the new version is very suitable for Xingxin, and it has changed from speculation among various folk masters to an established fact.

Brother Hai was defeated by Roushen, who else can stop Xingxin’s single-lane system?

This kind of confidence reached its peak when Xingxin defeated Blue Rain, who had defeated Xuanqi, 3:1 in the winner's group final and sent them to the loser's group.

As a team with Ye Xiu, the three-time champion, Xingxin's fans already had different expectations for him.

Now that we are getting closer and closer to the championship, this expectation has turned into a different kind of confidence.

So much so that——

"Brothers, I recently went online to look up the information and styles of the teams in each major region that have a chance to compete for the championship and impact the mid-season tournament. How about we analyze the opponents of MSI?"

"Isn't it a little too early to study these things now? We haven't won the championship yet!" questioned a more rational fan.

"It's not too early, MSI is just over a month away. Even if we don't win the championship, other brother teams will still need it!" The man said modestly.

But in his mind, he had already equated Xingxin with the Spring Season Championship.

However, in the midst of the jubilant atmosphere, the fans seemed to have forgotten an iron rule that cannot be crossed in any LPL:
Be careful about popping champagne at halftime!
