Half a minute ago, the opposing jungler had just ganked the mid lane. Marcus's Yasuo had narrowly escaped, but his health was extremely low.
Everyone assumed he had returned to base to resupply.
However, to everyone's surprise, the low-health Yasuo had actually walked through the jungle to the bottom lane, blocking a critical ultimate for Miss Fortune.
"Thank you, MarcX!"
Seeing that she had been saved, Debbie hurriedly thanked Marcus.
The Killian player huffed in frustration.
He had originally typed in the public chat on purpose to distract Debbie, planning to use his ultimate to ambush her while she was busy replying.
But he had not expected this plan to be ruined by that Yasuo.
However, Yasuo's health was also very low at this point. A mocking look flashed across Killian's face as he switched targets, preparing to kill the Yasuo who had interfered.
With an ability, Killian blinked to the side of the wind wall and fired a precise attack, intending to take Yasuo down.
Marcus remained calm, controlling Yasuo to use a minion as a stepping stone to dash to the other side of the wind wall.
Killian's attack hit the wind wall again.
Seeing this, Killian did not hesitate and immediately used Flash to follow up.
But just as he crossed the wind wall, he saw Yasuo slide back behind it like an eel.
"Damn it!"
Killian felt as if he were being toyed with by this Yasuo. All his abilities had hit the wind wall, not dealing a single point of damage.
However, the wind wall's duration was about to end. As soon as it disappeared, he would still be able to finish off Yasuo.
Thinking of this, the Killian player could not help but curl his lips into a smirk.
"Hmph, that's for mocking me earlier!"
But what he did not know was that, in front of his screen, Marcus's lips were curled even higher.
The moment the wind wall vanished, a surge of violent wind burst from Yasuo's blade.
Marcus knocked Killian airborne with lightning speed and immediately followed up with his ultimate.
Throughout the laning phase so far, although Marcus had not secured many kills, his farming had consistently put him ahead of the opposing mid laner, and his equipment was not inferior.
"I am waiting for the wind, what are you waiting for?"
The fragile Killian's health dropped to zero instantly after taking that combo.
But Yasuo's condition was not good either. Killian gritted his teeth, intending to make one last desperate attempt.
He fired another attack toward Yasuo.
As long as it hit, Yasuo's remaining health would not be able to withstand it.
However, Marcus showed no panic. His eyes were full of confidence.
A white current of energy appeared on Yasuo's body.
"Damn it! Wind Shield!"
Killian slammed his keyboard in anger.
He had not expected his damage to be blocked by Yasuo's passive.
In a duel between experts, life and death are decided in a split second.
Yasuo dashed forward rapidly and ended the life of Killian, who was about to go on a killing spree, earning a generous bounty.
"The disciples are full, time to collect a mount!"
Marcus typed a line in the public chat, returning Killian's earlier arrogance.
"MarcX, you're so cool!"
Debbie clapped her hands in excitement, looking relieved.
Watching Debbie in the livestream, Jack cast an envious glance at Marcus.
...
For the next ten minutes, neither side broke out into any large-scale team fights.
In terms of economy, the opposing side's advantage was relatively spread out, while the advantage on Marcus's side was mostly concentrated on him alone.
The opponents were also skilled players, so as long as they focused Marcus's Yasuo, they could keep his team under pressure.
The only way to break this stalemate was to initiate a decisive team fight.
After receiving a signal from Marcus, Jack controlled his champion, looking for the right opportunity.
At this moment, both sides gathered in the river, preparing to contest the newly spawned dragon.
Jack moved around to the back, catching the opponents off guard and preparing to kick Killian into his team to eliminate him instantly.
He had even started imagining Debbie being impressed by his move.
However, he did not expect his plan to be seen through.
Just as Jack charged into the crowd, Killian reacted instantly and avoided the setup.
"Damn!"
Jack clearly had not expected such a fast reaction.
The attempt failed, and instead, he found himself surrounded by the enemy team.
At the same time, their support followed in, worsening the situation.
"Don't fight! Retreat first!"
Having lost the initiative, forcing a fight would only lead to defeat. Marcus quickly signaled for everyone to fall back.
Under the combined attacks of the enemy team, Jack and their support were eliminated in the river.
The opponents pressed forward, intending to wipe out the remaining three players on Marcus's side.
Marcus and Debbie fled toward the mid lane, while their top laner stayed behind to cover their retreat.
"Prepare to counter-attack!"
Marcus's gaze sharpened as he sent another signal.
Debbie was stunned.
He had just called for a retreat, so why call for a counter-attack now?
There were only three of them left.
How were they supposed to fight?
By now, they had reached the mid lane, and Marcus kept dashing through the incoming minion wave.
"Stop him, kill this Yasuo first!"
Killian signaled his teammates.
Several of them immediately rushed toward Marcus.
"Just as I intended!"
Marcus's fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, and Yasuo's figure vanished instantly.
In the next moment, Yasuo reappeared in a flash of light, unleashing a powerful gust that knocked all five enemies into the air.
"That combo!"
"That's insane!"
"Oh my God!"
"That's so cool, Marcus!"
The opponents had originally kept their distance to avoid being caught together, but while chasing Yasuo, they had unknowingly grouped up.
"Last Breath!"
Marcus immediately followed up with his ultimate.
Seeing this, Debbie's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she unleashed her ultimate, sending a storm of bullets toward all five enemies.
"Hahaha!"
To the enemies, her laughter sounded terrifying.
Even though her early game had been suppressed, her damage in team fights remained devastating.
With all five enemies airborne and unable to escape, they took the full impact of her attack.
"Pentakill!"
The system announcement rang out.
With Marcus's setup, Debbie secured all five kills and released all her frustration from earlier.
"Killian, you're really something else!"
After the Pentakill, Debbie typed confidently in the public chat.
Killian stared at the message for a long time and could only respond with a question mark.
Marcus smiled.
"Hahaha!"
Jack and Ben burst into laughter.
Killian's face turned red, unable to respond.
After that decisive fight, Marcus's team steadily expanded their advantage.
With the Baron secured, the match soon ended in victory.
Looking at the victory screen, Debbie took the initiative to speak.
"MarcX, can I add you as a friend?"
