Chapter 110: Finals (6)

“Caster! Caster! Can he salvage this!?”

“Dodging Fiora’s Riposte and even taking down Ashe with a Q Flash!”

[Wow, seriously, that Long Thing is f*cking disgusting lol.]
[Ah… this is K’Sante. His armor is 420 because he only built armor items and no magic resist.]
[He takes down two in that situation?]
[Overpowered champion.]
[Caster did something lol.]

“Ah, Caster fought valiantly, but he’s not enough to take down all 5 remaining members.”

“Then what will you do, VXG? Are you going to finish it?”

“They don’t have Baron buff, but they’ve pushed the mid tier 2 turret and a cannon minion is coming, so it looks like they’re planning to end it.”

“Just put Fiora and Braum in front and finish it?”

“Para is recalling immediately after Teleporting… She’s bought her 4th item, Guardian Angel, and is heading mid!”

[Can they stop this?]
[Can she only clear the wave by using E and dashing forward?]
[Looks tough.]
[If they lose this, it’s 5 games GG.]
[Sigh, it’s my fault for getting my hopes up again.]

“Can Para stop it?”

“She’ll probably have to clear the wave, but that cannon minion is annoying. On the other hand, the opponent has used all their spells and skills!”

[What is she trying to do?]
[Just seems like another ‘runner-up’ move.]
[She’s just diving in.]
[She’s trying to take down everyone?]

“She’s not engaging immediately, running towards top instead?”

“The enemy minions have arrived at the tier 3 turrets in both top and mid. It looks like she’s trying to stack her Q.”

“She’s charged her whirlwind. Now, what decision will she make?”

“No, she’s just using her E skill and dashing forward!?”

[You guys lose ㅇㅇ]
[Declaration that they don’t deserve to win.]
[Isn’t she just throwing?]

“Here, Q airborne! Not only that, but her ultimate followed by Flash!”
“She’s knocked up three people, including Fiora!”

[Wow, what was that?]
[?]
[????]
[?]
[She used Riposte, but why did she get hit by the ult?]

“Ashe is deleted from the fight instantly after being hit by the ultimate! Then she targets the low-health Braum!”
“She has Shieldbow here too! Just one more turn! She got Braum… but ultimately, she went down.”
“Ah, can she survive after coming back up? The opponent is a level 16 Fiora!”
“If she had Flash, we could expect a combo of Para’s signature Q Flash, but it looks like a tough situation.”
“Ah… if she dies here, Fiora can finish the game before her teammates revive. We need to watch.”
“Spread knows it too. Look, he’s not running up to hit the turret; he’s waiting for Para to come back up. His mindset is to kill her and end it.”
“Can she do it? No, she has to do it. She needs to show us something!”
“But it’s too difficult! Look at Fiora! Riposte’s cooldown is only a few seconds away!”

[She’ll die if Fiora’s ult goes off.]
[Riposte is back.]

“First, Para is back up!”
“The decisive duel immediately follows! It looks like they intend to end it with this duel!”

[GG]
[It’s over.]
[It’s going to 5 games.]
[If they lose this, Corki comes back in Set 4, and it’s back to square one.]

“One hit, two hits! Two marks, and her health is already less than 20 percent! She’s gathered her whirlwind, but…”
“She used it too honestly! This will be blocked by Riposte… What was that just now!?”
“It looks like she dodged Riposte by using her E to the side simultaneously as she used Q!?”
“This gives Yone much more to say! Auto-attack! Auto-attack!”
“And here, Para takes down Spread! This game is not over yet! Para saves ARK one more time!”
“No, Para’s Jangpanpa! She just killed everyone in front of the inhibitor! She just caught them and finished it! She just danced with her sword!”

[Wow.]
[The Great Seo-ha.]
[The Great Seo-ha.]
[She’s truly just the god of Yone ㅇㅇ]
[?]
[If you actually believed, it’s fine.]
[With this, ARK’s spells will be back up for the next dragon.]

“Just a moment. I’ll explain this with the replay.”
“An incredible scene.”
“First scene, Fiora was hitting the tower in front, and Braum was behind protecting Ashe. In that situation, Para used her Q airborne from the side towards the somewhat obvious Fiora in front. Fiora, as expected, reacted with Riposte, but Para dodged it with Flash and simultaneously landed her ultimate at an angle that hit all three enemies.”

[Insane detail.]
[Up to this point, it’s just the tightrope act Para always shows.]
[What comes next is the real deal.]
[Seriously, how did she kill Fiora after reviving?]

“But the scene after this is truly unbelievable. Look, she killed Ashe and Braum. Honestly, a level 17 Yone killing a level 14 bot duo is possible.”
“But after that, Braum stacked his passive and froze Yone, and Fiora killed her, didn’t she!”
“That’s right. It was a situation where she died in front of the inhibitor without towers, and Fiora’s ultimate was also up. Yone was ahead in level and core items, but Fiora was level 16 with Riposte.”

[The Great Seo-ha.]
[Where did all the people who were slandering Para go?]
[One Yone ㄷㄷ]

“Usually, players who play Yone would try to kite after reviving, using the movement speed from E. But Para was different. She just grit her teeth and endured.”
“Wow… If that W shield had come even slightly later here, she would have just died.”
“And she used her Q skill, which was off cooldown, honestly. Spread probably thought Yone was making a last-ditch effort and used Riposte as expected.”

[How did she dodge Riposte?]
[Use Q and E to dodge.]
[The Great Seo-ha.]
[She’s my wife.]

“Here, she used E diagonally simultaneously with using Q, dodging Riposte. Riposte grants Fiora invincibility but also roots her in place. As Riposte ended, she used auto-attack Q and immediately returned with E to finish it. The detail of not letting Fiora get her mark healing here. It’s truly insane.”
“Isn’t this why we watch League of Legends matches! Because players like this exist, capable of flipping the tide with individual super plays when the team is struggling!”

[Damn, it’s The Great Seo-ha again, I have to worship her.]
[If Para had gone ADC with her mechanics, she would have been the best in no time.]
[You carried with Tristana in Set 1 though~]
[Anyway, after this set ends, the bot lane duo is innocent even if Para lines them up and beats them with a bat.]

“I killed Fiora here!?”

“Wow, seriously, that Long Thing is annoying.”

At a point in the game that had gone on for over 45 minutes, when both teams were almost completely out of focus, a narration announced that Caster, who had been managing the top lane, had shredded Fiora.
Due to the aftermath of not being able to finish the game earlier, the dragon score was 3-3. K’Sante was the only one with Teleport, and he won the fight Fiora had forced on him by himself, using only the Flash he had saved.

“Teleport to dragon and take it!”

At this point in the late game, the effect of the dragon soul could be considered minimal, but the Chemtech Dragon that had spawned was different.
Our team had Varus, and it was a good buff for catching the highly mobile opponent.
In the late game, with a man advantage and Fiora, who was responsible for their late-game potential along with Sejuani, dead, the opponent gave up the dragon and moved to secure Baron vision.

However.

“We’ll push vision for Baron instead!”

In a situation without Fiora, that was like throwing a tantrum.
While pushing for vision with Caster, who had used Teleport after recalling, leading the way…

“Help me!”

Akali, who had been hiding in the bush, flew at me as if it was her last attempt at assassination.
In the late game with full builds, even a single hit from either side was critical.
Akali, using her shroud, intended to kill me with her second ultimate charge, but…

“Dodged Akali ult!”

As soon as I saw Akali’s motion to use her ultimate from the shroud, I dodged it with Flash.
Following that…

[Let’s settle this!]

My ultimate pierced through the enemy formation, knocking up the entire enemy team that had focused on me.

“Get them all!”

“Think about finishing it after getting them all!”

“Kill them all!”

And I took down all 4 remaining enemies, getting an ace.

“If we go mid, it’s over!”

“I’ll just keep Fiora busy, let’s finish it.”

“Anyway, if you focus fire, she’ll die instantly.”

Leading the wave, we headed towards the enemy Nexus through mid. Fiora, who had revived in the meantime, tried to do something like I did earlier, but…

‘You think it’s easy?’

She just died helplessly.

[Finish it!]

Simultaneously with the narration announcing we had taken down the opponent again, we focused fire on the Nexus and destroyed it.

“…”

Even after taking off my headset, I couldn’t hear the crowd’s cheers.

My heart was pounding, my fingers were trembling, and the cheers of the crowd mixed with my rough breathing.
Looking to the side, my teammates, who usually hugged me whenever we won, were staring at me.

“…Seriously, we…”

Words that usually came easily were stuck at the tip of my tongue.
It felt as if saying them would make everything disappear like a dream.
Kim Do-jin approached me and spoke.

“Good job.”

The goal I had challenged countless times, the goal I had come to believe I could never reach.
This was the day I engraved my name on an international trophy.
