After a 15-minute break, the decider of the S10 season finals officially began.
The viewership ratings for this match had broken a new record. The number of viewers watching the match through official channels and major live streaming sites had already broken the 100 million mark. The bullet screen in the live broadcast room was dazzling. Some were cheering for Northern Shepherd, while others were shouting for Tianheng to win.
Before the decider began, the officials once again started the final round of guessing.
The netizens threw in their guessing coins, and the support rate for both teams was exactly 50%. It was a tie. It was rare to see such a result in a normal match.
Yao Mu said, "In normal matches, even if teams are evenly matched, there would be a slight difference in the support rate before the match. For example, 4951,4852. This is the first time in the S10 season that such a tie has happened. It looks like everyone has a lot of confidence in Northern Shepherd and Tianheng! "
Brother Dong said, "The final round will determine the winner. Both teams are choosing their heroes blindly, omitting the BP segment. Therefore, there is no need for heroes to target each other. There might even be a repeat hero."
Yao Mu said, "That's right. In the previous match between Northern Shepherd and | Moon Shadow, both sides chose [Sharpshooter] for the deciding match. I wonder what kind of lineup Northern Shepherd and Northern Shepherd will choose?
On the big screen, both teams had already put on their headphones and were ready for the final match.
The referee signaled for the match to begin. Brother Dong raised his voice and said, "Friends in the audience, the final decider of the S10 season finals is about to begin. Let us cheer for both teams with a warm round of applause!"
The stadium was filled with thunderous applause. Especially in the family area, Qujiang's father holding a megaphone was particularly eye-catching. Chi Shuo's parents, Ye Shaoyang's brother, and Little Star's family were also cheering for them.
In the soundproof room, although the cheers of the audience could not be heard, everyone knew that this was the last round of the S10 season. They would definitely give it their all!
The match officially began.
Without the BP segment for the decider, the ten players from both teams would blindly choose their heroes, and the results would be announced at the same time.
Although it was a "blind selection," the players would not blindly choose based on their preferences. The coaching team must have come up with a strategy in advance. How would both teams respond to this crucial decider? The audience was filled with anticipation.
The countdown of 30 seconds was extremely long, but from the looks of the contestants, no one seemed to be nervous.
Especially after the camera was pointed at Xiao Xing, not only did he not feel nervous to the point that his face was stiff, he even smiled at the camera and made a gesture to cheer him on, which caused the audience to scream.
The countdown ended, and the lineups of both sides were announced at the same time.
Tianhuan Squad: [Black Dragon Knight] Top Laner, [Shooting Arrow] Archer, [Frost Goddess] Support, [Lord of the Abyss] Mid Laner, [Stealth Thief] Jungler.
Northern Shepherd Squad: [Rose's Edge], [Vampire Duke], [Giant North Sea Monster], [White Bear], and [Time Traveler] as support.
The audience was a little surprised when they saw the lineup. Yao Mu said, "The lineups of both sides aren't anything new. The five players from Tianheng are all using their favorite heroes. Could it be said that this is the national server's lineup? Northern Shepherd has always used [Sharpshooter] in the previous decider of Yueying, but in this game, Sister Xinping has chosen the side, and it's still a double Warrior system. "
Brother Dong said, "Northern Shepherd's side can't hold the front row, so they chose the more tanky jungler [White Bear]. The mid laner is [Giant North Sea Monster], Xiao En's first famous hero in the European region. The support can increase speed and heal. The overall lineup is very comprehensive. In a team fight, the two sides can circle around the back and kill Tianheng's center position as fast as possible."
Yao Mu said, "However, Tianheng's mid laner and jungler are more flexible. [Lord of the Abyss] and [Stealth Thief] are not that easy to kill. The key is still the positioning during a team fight."
The countdown was about to end, and the second floor [Stealth Thief] and the third floor [Lord of the Abyss] changed their common skills to [Punishment] at the same time. The sharp-eyed Brother Dong noticed this and couldn't help but say, "Double Punishment! The third floor gave it to Lieyang, so the Lord of the Abyss must be used by Lieyang. He brought Punishment, could it be … "
Yao Mu said excitedly, "Could it be a double jungler?!"
Not long ago, Tianheng chose [Lord of the Abyss] in the first stage of the winner's group. The opposing coach thought that this mid laner was played by Ye Shaoyang, so he frantically banned Chi Shuo's jungler in the second stage. In the end, the ban was lonely. Chi Shuo actually used [Lord of the Abyss] as a jungler!
Today, [Lord of the Abyss] still brought Punishment, but it was given to Ye Shaoyang on the third floor to use.
Brother Dong asked doubtfully, "Lieyang also knows how to jungler?"
Yao Mu smiled and said, "I only know that he once used [Illusionist] to jungler in a ranked game. That was already a year ago. After becoming an esports player, he duos with Captain Chi every day. He must have learned the rhythm of jungler. After all … the brainwaves of the Sun and Moon combo are synchronized. "
In the livestream, many Tianheng fans were excitedly spamming the screen. "Tianheng has a double jungler after having a double archer and double mid laner!" "Northern Shepherd has a double jungler. Two world champions? Tianheng has a double jungler, and they are also two world champions! "
Although the choice of heroes in the deciding game was not very new, and they were all used in the previous game. However, changes in positions and innovations in playstyles were likely to bring about a completely different battle experience.
This was Tianheng. They were always trying to change, and they were always looking for breakthroughs.
Could Ye Shaoyang jungler?
This question lingered in the hearts of many viewers.
Was it reliable to use a double jungler system in the deciding game? What if it failed?
Tianheng's fans were excited and nervous.
If they won, of course, everyone would praise Ye Shaoyang for being awesome. Not only did he know how to use a mage mid laner and archer mid laner, but he also knew how to use a mage to jungler. But what if he lost? Ye Shaoyang would definitely be the scapegoat!
Who told you to use [Retribution] instead of [Blink] in the deciding game?
The fans were all worried for Ye Shaoyang.
On the other hand, Ye Shaoyang, who was in the soundproof room, still had a smile on his face. He had a confident expression that said, "I can do anything." Before the map was loaded, he even turned around to look at Chi Shuo. No one knew what he was saying.
Chi Shuo nodded in agreement.
Yao Mu smiled and said, "The two of them should be communicating. Which jungler should they fight first?"
Brother Dong said, "[Stealthed Rogue] needs red buffs more, and [Lord of the Abyss] needs blue buffs more. In my opinion, the two of them should work together to counter the blue buffs. Two Retribution, double insurance." The game officially began.
As expected, Ye Shaoyang took Xiao Xing and Qujiang to the opposite jungler with the blue buff. Northern Shepherd knew that Tianheng's jungler would definitely come to counter the buffs, so they sent the support to defend the jungler in advance. The mid laner, Xiao En, went to clear the junglers first.
The two sides pulled at each other in the jungler for a while. Since [Stealthed Rogue] could turn invisible, Northern Shepherd's players couldn't determine whether Chi Shuo was hiding nearby. So they didn't dare to be careless and directly pulled the blue buffs back to full health.
Only the audience with God's perspective knew that Chi Shuo had been hiding in the bushes in the middle lane at the start of the game. He waited for Ye Shaoyang to lead his teammates to counter the blue buffs, then he quietly snuck over from the Dragon Pit and stole the red buffs as quickly as possible.
Yao Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Tianheng is using a diversion tactic!"
The audience had God's perspective, but Northern Shepherd's players could only see the area they were looking at. Chi Shuo's jungler could turn invisible, and Ye Shaoyang and his teammates were fighting so fiercely. Northern Shepherd naturally thought that Chi Shuo was nearby.
In the end …
Ye Shaoyang was only pulling aggro on purpose to attract Northern Shepherd's attention, while Chi Shuo secretly stole the red buffs!
Tianheng's three players once again crippled the blue buffs. Northern Shepherd's jungler quickly dealt the punishment, and the first wave of blue buffs ended with Northern Shepherd's victory. However, when Northern Shepherd's jungler returned to the red buff area, he was dumbfounded — —
Where's my red buffs!
Where's my little minions?!
Zhao Xinping couldn't help but frown when he saw this. "Their real target is the red buffs."
Xiao En said, "They're coming to the middle lane to snatch River Crab."
Northern Shepherd's jungler immediately headed to the middle lane, but Chi Shuo had already set up an ambush there. The moment Northern Shepherd's jungler rushed over, he accurately smashed his opponent with a QW double combo. Ye Shaoyang immediately followed up with Black Shadow's mark and surrounded him, turning White Bear into a bear with low health.
White Bear had no choice but to return home. Xiao En tried to snatch River Crab, but Ye Shaoyang cleanly dealt a [Punishment]. Then, Chi Shuo went to fight the blue buffs, and Ye Shaoyang followed up. After Chi Shuo crippled the blue buffs, Ye Shaoyang took the blue buffs with a Q skill.
In the bottom lane, Qujiang and Cheng Xing went straight into the jungle to snatch their own red buffs after clearing the minions.
Yao Mu said, "Northern Shepherd's opening is in a state of semi-collapse! Tianheng has three buffs, and they even let the mid laner get the blue buffs! "
Brother Dong said, "[Lord of the Abyss] will speed up the pace of clearing minions at the front lane after getting the blue buffs. The casting speed of the three Black Shadows will be faster, and the E skill's Black Shadow Transposition will allow them to support the top and bottom lanes faster."
Northern Shepherd's jungler, White Bear, returned to the base to replenish his health. In the beginning of the game, he only received experience from one of the four jungles. This kind of semi-collapse opening would make Northern Shepherd very passive in the early game. Fortunately, he was just a tool. It didn't matter if his economy was low. He just needed to let the core players of the three lanes develop as soon as possible.
Xiao En looked at the game panel and said, "Our jungler is level 6, and our mid laner is also level 6. Everyone, be careful!"
In the previous games in Tianheng, Chi Shuo was the first to reach level 6, and Ye Shaoyang had to wait for a wave of minions to reach level 6.
However, in this game, Ye Shaoyang's [Lord of the Abyss] was a mid laner jungler, and he had the skill [Retribution]. His first equipment was a magic jungler's knife, which had the effect of "increasing damage when attacking monsters and increasing the experience gained from killing monsters". The reason junglers leveled up faster than other players was because of the experience gained from killing monsters.
Ye Shaoyang didn't miss a single minion. He got the blue buff at the beginning of the game, and he even snatched the River Crab and gained experience from a few minions in the jungle. Therefore, in this game, he and Chi Shuo both reached level 6!
These two big devils, one of them reaching level 6 was enough to make their opponents wary, let alone both of them reaching level 6 at the same time.
Would they target the top or bottom lane?
Zhao Xinan and Zhao Xinping retreated to the bottom of the tower at the same time.
Xiao En also retreated quickly. He saw Ye Shaoyang going to the top lane, but he also knew that Ye Shaoyang would often mislead his opponents with "false vision". He couldn't only believe what he saw.
Maybe this guy would come back?
Just as he thought this, he saw a black shadow suddenly jump out from the bushes. Almost in the blink of an eye, six symbols appeared above Xiao En's head, and his health plummeted!
Xiao En decisively used [Blink].
However, the audience with the omniscient view noticed that after reaching level 6, Chi Shuo actually hid in the bushes between the inner and outer towers of North Shepherd, waiting for Xiao En to use [Blink] to escape.
The level 6 [Stealth Rogue] suddenly moved forward and easily took Xiao En's head with a QR combo.
Ye Shaoyang helped Chi Shuo tank the tower. Chi Shuo turned around and left, and Ye Shaoyang switched positions with the black shadow and retreated. The two of them attacked from different directions, splitting up to tank the tower and retreating one after the other. Their coordination was as smooth as flowing water.
The fact that Tianheng Nakano's brain waves were synchronized was verified once again!
Chi Shuo got the first kill and had the highest economy in the game.
Then, he didn't go to the minions, nor did he go to the top and bottom lanes to support them. Instead, he plunged into North Shepherd's jungle, and Ye Shaoyang followed closely behind. The two of them calculated the respawn time of the opponent's red buffs and quickly killed them.
Two junglers, two Punishments.
There was a damage bonus when fighting monsters in the jungle, and the speed of clearing the jungle was extremely fast.
When the audience saw the two of them invading the opponent's jungle together, they couldn't help but comment — —
The two of them were just short of holding hands!
In this game, Yangyang is Chi Shuo's follower, hahaha!
North Shepherd's jungler: Who am I? Where am I? 'Is this my jungle or your backyard?'
Tianheng's duo junglers focused on North Shepherd's jungle. What was North Shepherd's biggest weakness? It was the jungle.
They were strong on all three sides, but their jungler's rhythm was slightly weaker. In this game, Tianheng's strategy was to focus on your weakness and attack crazily. They would directly destroy your jungle and snowball the economy gap.
However, North Shepherd was not a pushover. Xiao En quickly adjusted his strategy. "Defend the jungle from both sides. Release a wave of minions before attacking. Don't press too deep."
When Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang invaded North Shepherd's jungle again, they encountered four players from North Shepherd: an archer, a support, a midlaner, and a jungler. The two of them didn't hesitate. Chi Shuo went invisible to take a look and then slipped away.
Ye Shaoyang switched positions with Black Shadow and ran away very quickly.
2v4? The two of them weren't that arrogant.
Since North Shepherd didn't allow them to invade the jungle, why don't we farm for a little dragon?
Thus, the two sides started a team fight against the little dragon. The little dragon was pulled away twice, and even the top laners from both sides ran over to help. Chi Shuo said decisively, "Attack! Get ready to snatch the dragon. "
Tianheng was the first to attack.
However, North Shepherd didn't want to let the little dragon go. They couldn't let it snowball. If the economy gap was too big, they wouldn't be able to play in the later stages.
Zhao Xinan and Zhao Xinping attacked almost at the same time!
The twins also had a great tacit understanding. Zhao Xinan circled around the top of the dragon pit to kill Cheng Xing. Zhao Xinping circled around the bottom of the dragon pit to focus on Ye Shaoyang. Xiao En patrolled from afar and occasionally threw monsters to attack.
After North Shepherd attacked from both sides at the same time, Tianheng's formation was quickly broken.
Ye Shaoyang was killed. Although Ye Shaoyang switched positions with Black Shadow to escape quickly, Zhao Xinping was very fierce and immediately flashed to catch up with him. Ye Shaoyang fell helplessly under the sharp scimitar of the female warrior, Full Bloom Rose.
Yao Mu said excitedly, "North Shepherd exchanged 0 for 2. This is a big win!"
But at this moment, Qujiang froze the two players who were fighting the little dragon. Chi Shuo immediately attacked with a Punishment and snatched the little dragon.
Brother Dong said, "Tianheng got the little dragon! Although two people died in this wave, it's not a big loss, right? "
Yao Mu said, "Yes, it's a small loss. North Shepherd got the kill and interrupted Tianheng's coordinated rhythm, so they can develop steadily for a while. "
Northern Shepherd Zhao Xinping brought his two bodyguards, the support and jungler, to the jungle to develop. On the road, Zhao Xinan steadily led the lane. Relying on [Vampire Duke]'s ultimate skill to recover his health, he fought against Old Qin without any hesitation.
After Ye Shaoyang and Cheng Xing revived, Tianheng returned to the lane and started to develop.
The game gradually dragged on until the last 20 minutes.
At this time, the economic gap between the two sides was not as big as it was at the beginning. Zhao Xinping made up for it. From the game panel, Chi Shuo still had the highest economy in the game, Ye Shaoyang and Zhao Xinping were tied for second, and Xiao En, Zhao Xinan, and Cheng Xing were tied for third.
Although Old Qin and Qujiang's economy was lower, North Shepherd's jungler's economy was nothing to look at. He only made a defensive vest and a support.
Overall, Tianheng's team led by less than 1,000 yuan. They could fight in a team battle, but they might not win. After all, North Shepherd's two fighters were too much of a threat to Tianheng's archer and mid laner.
Chi Shuo calculated the respawn time of the opponent's red buff and said, "Lure them over and prepare for a team battle!"
His teammates pressed, "Roger."
Ye Shaoyang sent a shadow to stand on top of the dragon pit and purposely exposed himself to Xiao En. Xiao En immediately reminded his teammates to defend. In the blink of an eye, the five players from both sides arrived and started to fight in the jungle!
This was because the North Shepherd players knew that once Tianheng stole the red buff and the rhythm of the jungle continued to collapse, the economic gap between them would widen again.
In the jungle, there was a lot of room for maneuver. North Shepherd's two sides could circle around and kill Tianheng's squishy, while Tianheng's jungler could also use the terrain as cover to assassinate North Shepherd's core.
This team battle was unusually intense. First, Xiao En took the opportunity to cripple Xiao Xing, who was hiding near the dragon pit. Then, Zhao Xinping followed up and killed Xiao Xing. Then, Ye Shaoyang released a shadow and quickly killed Xiao En and crippled Zhao Xinping. Chi Shuo appeared and killed Zhao Xinping.
Both sides traded one for one.
Little Zhao activated his lifesteal skill and rushed into the crowd of people, slashing and slashing. In the blink of an eye, Ye Shaoyang was crippled. Ye Shaoyang had a sliver of health left and switched places with a black shadow to escape, but Zhao Xinan flashed and chased after him, instantly killing him.
Chi Shuo turned around and killed Xiao En with a critical hit.
Two for two.
Chi Shuo took advantage of the situation and stole the red buff.
North Shepherd was having a hard time.
Xiao En said, "If you keep taking small losses, it will accumulate into big losses."
Zhao Xinan was stunned. "… Your Chinese is improving!"
Xiao En said, "So we can't just sit around and wait for death. We have to fight back?"
Zhao Xinping understood what he meant and said calmly, "Yes, we have to fight back."
Zhao Xinan, who was still alive, brought the jungler and support to invade Chi Shuo's jungler. Chi Shuo's health was low at this time, and he quickly retreated under the protection of Qujiang and Old Qin.
Cheng Xing looked at the gray screen and felt a little depressed. He had been killed twice by Sister Xinping, and he really couldn't do anything. Sister Xinping was an international top marksman, and she was very experienced in killing marksmen!
Although Tianheng wasn't at a disadvantage yet, they couldn't go on like this. Cheng Xing took a deep breath. After reviving, he heard his master say, "After clearing this wave of troops, wait for my signal. Big Dragon, we'll fight another wave of troops."
In fact, Chi Shuo's commanding style wasn't so aggressive.
Maybe it was because of Ye Shaoyang's influence, but Chi Shuo's playing style was obviously more aggressive in this round. He led his teammates to invade and fight continuously, and there was almost no pause for more than a minute.
He had just traded 2 for 2 at the red buff, and after leading a wave of troops, he wanted to force the team at the big dragon?
Of course, his teammates didn't question Chi Shuo's decision. They each went to the front line to deal with the troops, and after the cooldown of their big moves was over, they quickly gathered at the big dragon.
Xiao En saw the five people disappear from the map and immediately put a mark on the dragon pit. "They're stealing dragons."
Zhao Xinan: "Go and steal them!"
Both sides set up their formation at the dragon pit, and Chi Shuo hid in the distance, waiting for an opportunity.
Tian Huan was the first to initiate the party, and Old Qin jumped in to pull Xiao En. Unfortunately, Xiao En from Northern Shepherd immediately used Blink, so he wasn't able to pull Xiao En. Old Qin's big move missed, and it wasn't too bad of a deal to trick Xiao En into using Blink.
Xiao En said, "He's too empty. Counterattack!"
The most vulnerable player in Northern Shepherd was of course the mid laner Xiao En. As long as the opponent didn't crowd-control him, it would be easy to deal with.
The support [Time Traveler] immediately accelerated, and Northern Shepherd's jungler [White Bear] tanked the damage in front. The two sides split up and circled back. Just as Zhao Xinping was about to attack, Cheng Xing suddenly made an amazing move — —
He blinked to the top of the dragon pit!
Zhao Xinping originally blinked to attack him, but when Little Xing ran away, his skill couldn't reach him. Cheng Xing was overjoyed, and immediately used his big move [Meteor Arrow] to shoot wildly. Countless flying daggers rained down like a storm, and not only did Zhao Xinping have five layers of bleeding, but it also alerted the big dragon.
The big dragon let out a roar in the dragon pit, and it happened to hit Zhao Xinping, who was nearby.
Ye Shaoyang seized the opportunity and used a black shadow to kill her.
Zhao Xinan originally wanted to kill Ye Shaoyang, but in the end, Ye Shaoyang used a black shadow to switch positions, and he changed his direction to attack Qujiang. Xiao En used a big move to cripple Qujiang, and Zhao Xinan used a horizontal slash to take away Qujiang's head.
However, before Qu Jiang died, he used his W Freeze skill on Zhao Xinan, which happened to freeze him.
Cheng Xing decisively came out of the bushes, and used a series of consecutive shots to cripple Zhao Xinan. Ye Shaoyang, who was nearby, turned around and used a QE combo to take away Zhao Xinan's head.
Xiao En was waiting for an opportunity in the distance. When he saw this, he decisively used a big move and instantly killed Cheng Xing, who had revealed himself.
Little Xing had just quickly moved around and shot from the flank, crippling all of Northern Shepherd's support and jungler.
At this time, only Ye Shaoyang, Old Qin, and Chi Shuo were left in Tianheng.
Northern Shepherd's support, jungler, and Xiao En were left with low HP.
Old Qin was tanking the damage in front, and he only had a sliver of HP left. After he used his last Q skill, he died under the pursuit of Northern Shepherd's jungler, [White Bear].
At this point, they could have retreated.
However, Chi Shuo gave Ye Shaoyang the signal to initiate an attack.
Chi Shuo, who had been hiding in the bushes, used a big move to make himself invisible, and used a QWR combo to take away Xiao En's HP. Ye Shaoyang quickly switched positions with his black shadow and killed Xiao En, who only had a sliver of HP left.
When the audience saw this, they seemed to understand something …
Yao Mu was the first to react. "Oh my god! The big move of the Lord of the Abyss can be refreshed after killing someone! This is a Magic Spike with a reaping ability! "
Brother Dong said excitedly, "The team battle just now was too intense. Three people from Tianheng died, and three people from Northern Shepherd died as well. It was dazzling, but when you looked closely, you realized that the heads were all taken by the Lord of the Abyss."
Yao Mu said, "That's right, our teammates are helping Lieyang to use his big move!"
Northern Shepherd only had two people left with low HP, and Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang began to chase after them together. Northern Shepherd's support used his speed boost to run, but he couldn't outrun the Lord of the Abyss's continuous black shadow switch.
The Lord of the Abyss killed White Bear!
The Lord of the Abyss killed the Time Traveler!
When the last message popped up, the audience was in an uproar. In the family seats, Tianheng's relatives and friends even stood up excitedly!
Even Chi Shuo's mother smiled and clapped hard.
— — Pentakill!
The Lord of the Abyss, Dalong, killed Northern Shepherd in a team battle with a pentakill.
Yao Mu's voice trembled slightly. "I still remember that Lieyang also used Lord of the Abyss to get a pentakill in his first match in the regular season! Today, the pentakill reappears, and it's the final battle of the deciding round! "
Brother Dong said, "Actually, Xiao Xing crippled all of Northern Shepherd's players before he died, and Shuo could have taken the heads. However, he didn't use a normal attack to cripple the opponent, and let Lieyang take the heads to help Lieyang refresh his big move. It was Shuo who personally completed Lieyang's pentakill!"
After killing everyone, they snatched the dragon together and led the minions to destroy the crystal together.
Was it Chi Shuo who completed Ye Shaoyang's pentakill, or was it Ye Shaoyang who completed Chi Shuo's dream of becoming the champion?
To them, it didn't matter.
They had always been an inseparable combination of the sun and the moon.
After so many years, the champion of the S10 season in China belonged to Tianheng!
