I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 333 Title, “World’s First Edition”

However, before everyone could celebrate, the game display showed that the opposing team used their buyback at the same time!

Five heroes charged out from the fountain, once again turning it into a tense situation.

However, Ye Lingchen showed no signs of retreating. He controlled the five heroes to destroy the towers as though nothing happened.

This time, the Sun Nation’s team took a more careful approach and dared not risk the slightest mistake.

Surprisingly, instead of retreating, Ye Lingchen pushed the attack. Anti-Mage teleported directly to them, activated Manta Style, and started hacking away and burning their mana. That immediately caused confusion within their ranks.

Earthshaker was forced to engage and used Fissure, targeting Anti-Mage. Right when they were prepared to focus fire on Anti-Mage, Ye Lingchen controlled Lion and teleported right into the fight, firing off Hex and Earth Spike. That immediately disabled Slayer and Jakiro. Clockwerk similarly launched his chain and disabled Ancient Apparition. Although Tidehunter did not have its ult, he could rush up to tank the damage, acting as a meat shield.

Tssk, tssk, tssk!

Anti-Mage, along with its mirror images, hacked away one by one. Due to the opponents having their formation broken, they could not support each other properly. None of them were Anti-Mage’s match, and they quickly fell under its quick strikes!

Although they wanted to run, how could they outrun Anti-Mage? One Blink and it would be next to them. Ye Lingchen only needed to throw in a crowd control skill from the other heroes on his team and the enemy hero would quickly fall under his blades!

Shortly after, the resounding voice boomed forth once again, “Mega kill! Rampage!”

This time, the viewers paid closer attention than before, taking in every detail unblinkingly. Some even forgot to breathe.

Silence!

The whole stream was silent!

On the screen, all that was left were the five heroes that Ye Lingchen controlled, proudly standing. That was a moment of unmatched glory, deeply ingrained into the minds of all viewers.

[F*ck! That’s too amazing. I’m almost crying from the awesomeness. I’m not lying!]

[This is just too amazing! Forgive my bluntness, but does Y-God even need to team up? It’s a redundant move! He could just dominate the game all by himself!]

[I agree with the previous post. This is just too terrifying. Controlling five heroes alone, yet managing to keep things in impeccable order. It feels even more smooth than a team.]

[That’s right. Y-God is awesome! He could keep all five opponents under control with that flawless skill chain. The teamwork between the heroes was perfect, smooth as f*ck. I think Coold and the rest were holding Y-God back instead.]

[Cut the nonsense, let’s start flooding the screen with 666!]

...

The expression of the Sun Nation’s team of five was extremely gloomy. They had no words. The only thing they could do was wait for their resurrection cooldown at the fountain.

Out of everyone’s expectations, after Ye Lingchen destroyed the tier three towers, he did not destroy their barracks. Instead, he led the five heroes and charged at the Frozen Throne[1]!

Anti-Mage had the Heart of Tarrasque and had no problems tanking the tower. After destroying the towers guarding the Frozen Throne, he immediately started attacking the Frozen Throne!

That move was considered crazy and immeasurably conceited!

That was because destroying the barracks would bring them better advantage. Although destroying the Frozen Throne would win the game, failure to do so would give the opponents breathing room!

Ye Lingchen, with the five heroes under his control, started attacking the Sun Nation’s Frozen Throne right under their very eyes.

That was mockery at its worst. It was a blatant disregard toward the Death Quintet!

At the same time, Ye Lingchen typed ‘?’ in the public chat. That was considered a response to the earlier provocations from the Death Quintet.

[Awesome, you’re so cool! Y-God is the coolest!]

[Ahhh, I love Y-God! That’s the domineering spirit. Light speed face slapping!]

[Death Quintet? Champion of half of Asia? I’m sorry, in China, they’re just trash! Y-God could torment them singlehandedly!]

[What? You don’t believe me? What hero, you ask? It’s that so-called trashiest of heroes—Anti-Mage!]

...

Caught amid countless excited cheers, the Death Quintet dared not make any sound. With their tails between their legs, they chose to quietly leave the game.

This match was filled with ups and downs. However, the ending sent everyone into an excited state that maintained over a long time. The viewers were all flushed with enthusiasm and were most likely too excited to sleep for the night.

Little Hui was a DOTA lover. Although the match was over, he was still pacing left and right in his room, not feeling sleepy at all. Finally, he took out his phone. “Hello, Little Bai. It’s me, Little Hui. Have you watched Y-God’s match? So you’ve watched it too. It’s so exhilarating right? I can’t sleep. Why don’t we go out for some bbq and have a chat?! Sure, I’ll call Little Hei...”

Meanwhile, at Panda Streaming headquarters, Song Qian’s face was twitching from the excitement. Finally, he could no longer hold it in. Lifting his head, he started laughing out loudly.

One of the employees rushed over and asked, “Director Song, is it time to go home?”

“Go home? What are you talking about? Today you’re all working overtime! We must celebrate this properly! Go to the operations department and have them advertise this match as much as possible! Don’t worry, overtime pay is tripled!” Song Qian announced immediately, then rushed off quickly to work.

Huyu, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. Wang Yuan sat on the sofa looking deathly pale with his lips trembling. He looked as though he had aged greatly.

A lot of employees realized what was going on and were planning how to get out of this in their hearts. Right then, one of the employees hurried into the room and said, “CEO Wang, bad news. Our website is being criticized from all over. It’s being flooded with scathing comments!”

“CEO Wang, this is bad. Our livestream’s user count is dropping at light speed!”

“CEO Wang, a lot of hosts are applying to nullify their contract with us. What should we do?”

“CEO Wang, the investors are going crazy...”

One by one, the news only added to the bitterness shown on Wang Yuan’s face. Waving his hands, he chose not to comment on them. These were all within his expectations. However, the outcome was worse than he had imagined.

Most importantly, after he sacrificed his principles and ruined his reputation, Y-God still managed to win. That made him lose hope completely.

Predictably, Huyu would soon fall apart. There was nothing to be done to reverse its fate at that point!

In a single night, footage of this match spread through the entire internet and was being discussed all over the place. Even those not interested in gaming would have heard of it. It even made it out of the country!

Since the Death Quintet lost the match, and they were crushed completely, this news caused a stir in the international DOTA community!

That match became a piece of classic that stayed for the next ten years. It was unsurpassed, and Anti-Mage officially entered the sights of the public, breaking free from its reputation as a trashy hero. Instead, it made its name as one of the strongest heroes!

Due to the magnificent performance of Anti-Mage under Y-God’s hands, people gave Anti-Mage a title in Y-God’s name. It now had another nickname known to the public as “World’s First Edition!”
