Chapter 62: Insane Mechanics, Is This Yasuo?!

All members of WE swarmed out, completely disregarding the overall situation.

At this moment, only a single thought occupied their minds: they had to kill this Yasuo at all costs.

Now that all restraints were lifted, they hurled their abilities without a second thought, as if mana cost didn't exist.

Kha'Zix went into stealth and moved behind Yasuo to provide a Teleport vision ward for Nautilus.

The next instant, Nautilus channeled his Teleport.

Karma used her RE empowered shield to speed up the bot lane duo and spearhead the assault against Yasuo from the front.

Kha'Zix's evolved W finally found its purpose. He sneaked up beside Yasuo and hit him with a slowing spike.

"What the hell!"

Chen Yan let out a dumbfounded gasp upon seeing WE's formidable battle array.

A five-man gank, how on earth was he supposed to survive this?!

...

Inside the broadcast stream, viewers erupted into a frenzy at this sight.

"Has WE completely lost their minds?"

"They're sending five people to gank Yasuo, what about their base?!"

"Forget the base! Who cares about the base?!"

"Hahaha, WE has been completely mentally shattered by Dog Chen's Yasuo."

"All jokes aside, Dog Chen's Yasuo is actually insane."

The chat barrage scrolled by at a blinding speed.

Wawa and Miller stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them.

Having cast countless matches between them, situations like this were exceedingly rare.

After a moment, Miller smiled wryly and remarked, "Chen Yan's taunt level is truly off the charts..."

Wawa clicked his tongue in disbelief.

To throw the game just to kill Yasuo and vent their frustration—they had completely abandoned their base.

Although winning was already out of the question for them, at least they should have put up a pretense. How were the casters supposed to spin this narrative for them?

After struggling in silence for a long time, Wawa could only squeeze out a single sentence, "They're still young, it's understandable."

...

Everyone believed that Yasuo was doomed this time, considering there were five enemies converging on him.

Even Chen Yan himself wasn't entirely confident he could pull off a miracle.

However, he didn't give up, silently weighing the situation on the battlefield.

The champion Yasuo wasn't entirely devoid of outplay potential.

As long as minion waves were present, Yasuo's mobility was unmatched. Furthermore, although WE had five members, the only one posing a genuine threat to him was the Kog'Maw.

The moment Kog'Maw died, with the life steal from his Bloodthirster, the enemy would have no answer for him.

"The enemy minion wave will arrive shortly, but they'll definitely be on guard, and my Statikk Shiv passive might accidentally kill the minions..."

He couldn't get close to the minion wave!

Chen Yan's brain raced at lightning speed. Under the astonished gazes of everyone watching, he chose not to move toward the enemy minion wave, but instead actively closed the distance toward Nautilus.

"He's coming your way, Big Bro 957."

"Lock him down!"

957 didn't hesitate. Nautilus slammed his heavy anchor into the ground, sending shockwaves rumbling through the earth to track down Yasuo.

Nautilus's ultimate—Depth Charge!

This was a targeted ability and utterly impossible to dodge.

Chen Yan had no intention of dodging it anyway.

He simply placed a ward over the wall near the Gromp camp, positioned himself carefully, and used sweeping blade (E) through the Gromp to cross the wall.

Simultaneously, the exact moment Nautilus's ultimate struck him, he released his Wind Wall.

This single Wind Wall blocked a mountain of damage.

WE, however, clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook. Nautilus followed up with Flash, an auto-attack, a Titan's Wrath reset, and Dredge Line (Q), tightly locking Yasuo down to buy time for his teammates.

Kha'Zix also crept in, attempting to sneak in some damage.

Yet with a single swift dash, Yasuo sliced through Kha'Zix, instantly chunking a massive portion of his health bar and scaring Condi out of his wits.

What kind of absurd damage was that?!

"Don't die! Poke him down!" his teammates hurriedly warned.

Condi didn't dare to approach Yasuo again.

Yasuo and Nautilus tangled in close combat; Nautilus dealt virtually zero damage, whereas every auto-attack and Q from Yasuo caused Nautilus's health bar to plummet at a visible rate.

Fortunately, Karma, Kog'Maw, and Lulu arrived just in time. Backed by Kog'Maw's heavy firepower, Yasuo's health finally began to drop.

Chen Yan directed the tornado he had stored toward Kog'Maw, though he knew a skill shot like that stood no chance of hitting Mystic.

Therefore, the moment he released the tornado, he immediately retreated toward the Blue Buff camp.

He attacked the Blue Buff with a Q to stack another tornado while simultaneously regenerating a chunk of his health.

Chen Yan even used the Blue Buff monster as a shield to block Nautilus's hooks.

Realizing that Yasuo was circling the camp and using the Blue Buff for cover, WE opted to simply burst down the neutral monster.

The very instant the Blue Buff fell, Nautilus surged into Yasuo's face, empowered by Karma's accelerating shield.

Auto-attack followed by Q!

Seeing this, everyone watching silently shook their heads.

It was over.

Though Yasuo's micro-play had been impressive and his kiting immaculate, he was now cornered in a dead-end at the Blue Buff camp without Flash. Escape was impossible.

"What a pity," Wawa and Miller couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

This death of Yasuo would stand out like a blot of ink on a pristine sheet of paper.

...

In-game, just before being suppressed, Chen Yan managed to unleash one last Q.

A swirling tornado formed in his hand.

Yet that was all he could muster. Nautilus's relentless crowd control locked Yasuo down completely, Karma closed in to shackle him with her tether, and Lulu granted Nautilus an ultimate to knock him airborne once more...

WE executed their chain-crowd control with absolute precision.

Watching his health bar plunge into the danger zone, Chen Yan's fingers hammered the W key relentlessly.

Ever since the last deployment, the cooldown on his Wind Wall was on the verge of resetting.

The exact millisecond the crowd control expired, Yasuo's Wind Wall materialized.

The wind barrier successfully intercepted the incoming damage, allowing Yasuo to cling to life with a sliver of health.

Most importantly, Yasuo currently held a tornado ready, and because the enemy assumed he was already a dead man, their positioning had grown careless.

"An opportunity!"

Chen Yan's gaze sharpened. He dashed (E) to Nautilus, seamlessly flowed through Karma with another E, and then swept across to Kog'Maw...

Kog'Maw lacked Flash and had zero room for counterplay; he was knocked airborne by Yasuo's EQ combo.

Instead of immediately following up with his ultimate, Yasuo EQ'd through Lulu just before Kog'Maw hit the ground, and only then triggered his ultimate.

Last Breath!

In a fraction of a second, Yasuo slashed multiple times through the air.

Upon landing, he followed up with an auto-attack and a Q, generating yet another tornado in his hand.

Before Kog'Maw could even input a command, he was lofted into the air once more by Yasuo's whirlwind.

Though it took a while to describe, all of this transpired in the blink of an eye.

Karma and Lulu desperately bombarded Kog'Maw with shields, but Yasuo's item build was far too oppressive, and having absorbed two consecutive whirlwinds, even two supports could not salvage Kog'Maw's health bar.

"EDG Chen Yan has slain WE Mystic."

The system announcement chimed across the rift.

Kog'Maw was dead?

The remaining members of WE stood frozen in blank shock.

"Yasuo! Yasuo is going off! He's still outplaying them!"

Wawa roared at the top of his lungs.

Miller was equally electrified. "A double whirlwind upon landing! He instantly vaporized Kog'Maw amidst a sea of enemies, oh my god! Is this really Yasuo?!"

The cheers erupting from the live audience swelled without a pause.

Witnessing a sequence usually reserved for highlight reels actually manifest on the professional stage was an utterly breathtaking spectacle.

So much so that everyone's adrenaline spiked through the roof.

Yet, a second later, the crowd regained a measure of calm.

Although Yasuo had taken down Kog'Maw, his own health pool was far from healthy.

WE still had four members standing, and Kog'Maw's passive was still active.

"Can he really keep this up?"

Gazing at the screen, despite knowing how unrealistic it sounded, everyone continued to hold their breath in eager anticipation.

Chen Yan had anticipated this; the moment he eliminated Kog'Maw, he smoothly maneuvered toward the Murk Wolves camp.

As a control ward dropped, Yasuo executed an E through the small wolf, then another E through the second wolf, instantly creating a vast expanse of space between himself and the remaining WE members.

Kog'Maw's explosive passive detonated on empty air.

"Pursue him!"

Naturally, WE refused to let the matter rest and gave chase.

However, the moment Yasuo finished dashing through the wolves, he smote them to restore his health, and a fresh tornado materialized in his palm.

Condi's Kha'Zix leaped in aggressively, only to be intercepted and knocked airborne mid-air by Yasuo, who promptly finished him off with an auto-attack, Q, and another E.

Even more absurdly, Yasuo's health bar had now climbed out of the critical zone, and he turned the tables, aggressively pursuing the three surviving members of WE.

The three remaining WE players turned tail and bolted.

The scene was nothing short of farical.

"The hunted becomes the hunter!"

The chat barrage flooded the screen in a blur.

Wawa and Miller exchanged glances, reading the profound astonishment mirrored in each other's eyes.

Five people ganked one, not only getting outplayed and losing a member, but ultimately being chased across the map by a single survivor—it was beyond absurd.

Naturally, Yasuo couldn't outrun Karma, who possessed an area-of-effect speed boost, but it didn't matter. His teammates had already marched down the lane to the enemy base; they had simply been enjoying the show rather than ending the game.

Seeing no further spectacle to watch, his teammates finally shattered the Nexus.

As the WE base detonated, Clearlove's astounded voice echoed through the room.

"Xiao Yan, are you even human?!"
