Chapter 26: The Secret Art of Human Aura! Whose Miracle Squad Is This? [Seeking Monthly Votes!]

“This is pretty slick, Ye Bo!” Meiko genuinely praised.

“Definitely slick!” Viper agreed, adding a +1, as the visual impact was truly explosive.

“Nah, it’s just basic technique. The credit really goes to the four of us working together,” Ye Bo chuckled, happily exchanging mutual praise.

But it was clear that, despite Ye Bo’s modesty, everyone knew exactly who was the key player in that play!

Moreover, that move was far more complex than it appeared.

First, Poppy’s path was predicted once again, thanks to Ye Bo’s thorough study of LNG’s jungler.

Even if Poppy hadn’t taken that route, with such a chain of crowd control, Jinx would hardly have survived, at best taking down only one enemy.

Then, the Emperor’s attempt to interrupt the TP was also a result of Ye Bo’s understanding of Doinb’s habits.

When it came time to act, Ye Bo’s swift Q-flash maneuver used an unexpected method to knock up two opponents, then pulled them back precisely with a reverse R—thus initiating an unstoppable chain of control.

Yone’s “Q-flash” has several deployment styles. For example, the “Displacement Wind Flash” and the “Human Wind Convergence.”

The early Q-flashes Ye Bo used were all Displacement Wind Flashes, where both the flash and the Q’s displacement take effect, maximizing the movement distance.

But this time, it was a Human Wind Convergence.

Its principle is similar to the Emperor’s EQ flash.

Yone’s wind Q doesn’t just knock enemies up with the whirling blade; the “Yone himself” during the animation also has a knock-up radius!

So this Human Wind Convergence involved using the wind to knock up Tahm Kench, then flashing forward to “collide” with Jinx, using Yone’s body to knock her up as well—achieving a “Double Shuttle Knock-up.”

The follow-up from Meiko and Viper was equally critical.

Meiko’s timing for the combo was flawless, and more importantly, his ability to select targets precisely allowed him to chain his passive onto the two enemies tightly grouped by the knock-up.

This required an extremely precise “pointer selection” skill.

Viper, meanwhile, was already skilled in Aphelios’s control techniques, ready with the highest damage R, and the fastest passive stacking Q to execute the combo’s finishing blow.

Of course, these intricate details might not be fully visible in the live chat.

But it didn’t matter.

Cool is enough!

“Turtle~ Turtle, this master player really knows his stuff—no wonder he comes from an assassin background!”

“I have a thousand games on Yone at Platinum 3. Honestly, this move looks simple, but it’s definitely not easy.”

“Toxic Coin really just takes it and forgets to fight back. This game has been totally dominated by the master! I feel like he’s seen right through their underwear!”

“Already looking forward to tonight’s stream. I have a strong feeling we’re about to witness a ‘monkey’s butt’ moment on camera.”

“What the heck is Tarzan doing this round? Picking Poppy just to farm the jungle? Is that jungle a foot spa he’s too reluctant to leave?”

“Don’t hate. Didn’t he at least come mid once to attend the chicken’s funeral!”

The chat was buzzing with murmurs, and the nickname “Master” had begun to appear derived from Ye Bo’s ID.

While the audience might not catch every detail, by now it was clear:

LNG was in serious trouble.

After Yone’s kill, he immediately TP’d back to the mid tier one turret to farm, barely losing any minions.

Earlier, the Emperor had interrupted the TP and was already heading straight down to the bottom lane!

He cast EQ to engage and summoned Rift Herald behind the turret.

Within less than 10 minutes, EDG’s three-man squad demolished the next turret!

With bottom lane already bleeding, LNG faced the early loss of an outer turret, further snowballing the game’s momentum against them.

In any patch or meta, an early outer turret fall is deadly.

Freeing up pressure on one side of the map almost always results in a stronger push rhythm, influencing the entire game's tempo.

EDG knew well that LNG’s comp couldn’t afford to go late.

“EDG secures the third dragon! All three outer turrets are down!”

“At only 16:30, the gold difference has reached 4.5k!”

“LNG is in a tough spot—Yone’s split-push is hard to deal with, and weapon’s lane is suppressed by Kennen. Facing this Yone is putting a lot of pressure on them!”

“Ah, but Ale seems unwilling to give up. He still wants to fight back!”

Yone is undoubtedly a strong solo-split pusher.

After lane swapping, LNG only really had one duelist, Weapon Master, who could try to counter the enemy on a side lane.

But Ale was clearly not satisfied, refusing to abandon his attempts.

Unfortunately, in this patch, Weapon Master can still somewhat counter Yone in lane, but once the game moves to split-push, it’s entirely about skill.

Because in the current meta, Counterstrike Storm doesn’t disable Yone’s Q!

No damage, but the stacks still build.

Yone just needs to hold onto his E, using its 1.33-second cooldown and long 450-unit range “Mistblade” to kite and harass.

He waits for Weapon Master to get anxious, flash in to engage with Q, then immediately uses E’s dash to create distance, constantly pulling and pushing with reverse Q.

Before Weapon Master’s cooldowns reset, he simply can’t get close!

It’s almost like a teasing performance.

The chat was full of one voice: “I’m really getting kited!”

With their solo lane broken again, the end seemed inevitable.

Doinb was desperately searching for opportunities.

But as an Azir, the early loss of the bottom turret forced an early lane swap, leaving him no chance to roam or find his rhythm.

At 22 minutes, EDG confidently secured the Infernal Soul.

“The gold difference is now 7k! EDG’s entire team is moving toward Baron!”

“All they need is one good teamfight. With three carries fully fed, they can end the game!”

Just as Miller was predicting EDG’s next move, Jide suddenly pointed at a purple ward on the screen—that was Weapon Master’s unintended deep ward planted while they were preparing for the Infernal Soul teamfight.

“Look, Weapon is TPing around the back!”

“No, Azir is also TPing! This is a double TP flank! And that position is tricky!”

“LNG hasn’t given up!!!”

“Watch Poppy’s position! If too many get caught out... Could EDG be in trouble!?”

Doinb finally found an opportunity. Seeing Weapon’s unintentionally placed ward, he decisively called for a double TP flank.

If they fought head-on, with such a huge gold deficit, they stood no chance.

A flank that looked like a gift could turn the tides.

The wild card was Poppy!

Her ultimate can knock enemies thousands of yards back toward their base, instantly reducing enemy numbers in a fight!

If the flank paired with this knock-up to quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, a miracle teamfight could be created!

“Smash, smash, smash! We’re here!”

Tarzan, who had been invisible all game, wasn’t lacking in mechanical skill—just in adaptive decision-making.

The bottom duo feigned near the river, baiting the five opponents.

Poppy stood in the shadow at the corner of the Baron pit.

As the moment arrived, Poppy flashed over the wall and hammered out a spreading hammer!

“Careful!!” Meiko shouted upon seeing the hammer flash into the pit.

But Poppy was charging her ultimate while flashing and had vision—she landed and immediately smashed down with no reaction time.

The hammer hit Emperor and Aphelios near the Baron pit, sending them flying thousands of yards away.

“Bad!” Jide sighed heavily.

Never underestimate the power of a League of Legends miracle teamfight.

Forget about 7k gold deficit—even with over 10k gold down, comebacks are still possible.

Weapon and Azir appeared in vision behind.

“Can we retreat? Can we retreat? We’re rushing!”

The three remaining EDG members in the river were surrounded.

Though Kennen and Yone were strong, both were quite fragile.

Five enemies focusing them meant that a single crowd control could lead to instant burst death.

“You two head up! I’ll stall! Just stall for me!” Meiko shouted urgently. “Showjun, protect Yone at all costs! He’s worth at least a thousand gold!”

“I know,” Showjun replied firmly, voice low.

Though all EDG members had bounty on them, Yone was clearly the most valuable, rampaging on the split-push side far beyond a thousand gold.

More importantly, only if Yone survived could they consider turning the fight around after Baron.

At that moment, Ye Bo glanced at the formation before him, suddenly sensing a fleeting “chance.”

No prompt appeared, so he was certain it wasn’t system-related.

It felt like... there was room for a play here!

Ye Bo’s eyes shifted.

He wasn’t willing to let this go.

Or rather, he never wanted to miss any opportunity for a play.

“Showjun, Meiko, pull into the Baron pit and hold Poppy! Showjun, save your skills and watch me!”

“I think I can pull this off!”

Ye Bo quickly gathered wind stacks on a river crab, speaking rapidly in short phrases.

In such a critical moment, making this call meant taking responsibility.

Meiko also knew that Ye Bo’s plan at best would have Kennen fully cover Yone’s retreat while the two of them sacrificed themselves here.

That would make Baron risky and still force the final clutch to Yone and the reinforcements.

Since the gamble was necessary anyway,

Meiko didn’t hesitate long, choosing to trust this remarkable rookie teammate.

Azir and Weapon stepped forward from behind.

Braum’s Glacial Fissure slammed down—but instead of targeting the two flanking enemies, it hit Poppy, isolated in the Baron pit.

This left Yone alone.

“Focus Yone! Kill Yone! This fight is ours!!”

“Watch Kennen’s flash! I’ve got a ward. Don’t fear his ultimate—it’s useless!”

“I’m on it, I’m on it...”

Azir led his soldiers drifting forward.

Weapon spun up Counterstrike Storm and leapt in!

Two charging head-on, two surrounding from front and back.

Even if Yone could use R to cancel his opponent’s ultimate, Weapon’s stun on landing would follow immediately.

Then Jinx rushing in with W and Tahm Kench burrowing underground would easily chain crowd control and burst focus!

Yone finally moved.

His Spirit Blade cast forward.

The sheath left his body, slashing out a blade of wind...

But a golden flash shimmered—

Yone suddenly twisted on the spot, teleporting backwards in space!

Simultaneously, four bodies launched into the air, thousands of yards apart.

This was the third style of Q-flash: “Human Wind Direction Change!”

It stretched the original 900-yard whirlwind to 1325 yards by adding 425 yards of flash, without delaying the strike speed!

EQ3 Back Flash R

The Dust-Sealing Despair Slash condensed in midair.

A magnificent sword energy surged within the red frame, targeting the four airborne bodies.

After flickering, they were drawn together and struck down.

“Showjun!”

No need for Ye Bo to call out—the already prepared Kennen, though stunned, summoned Thunder Cage, flashed forward, and surged into battle without hesitation.

A terrifying scene unfolded on Summoner’s Rift.

This was the legendary miracle teamfight.

But it was a miracle fight belonging to Yone and EDG!

The entire arena erupted in a piercing roar, loud enough to penetrate noise-canceling headphones, a patriotic anthem swelling in unison!

At that moment, it seemed to seal LNG’s fate for the match.

Yet before Ye Bo’s eyes, a “special” prompt box appeared...
