"Vengeance now looking to retain his position, sidestep used in the earlier fight now does not have it. Moment is getting intense as ROG look for a fight in the dragon pit."
It was the finals of the 2021 VainGlory RIFT Championship. Noel 'Vengeance' Chua, Along with his team, Republic Of Gamers International, Or better known as ROG, Were Two to Two on the scoreboard. It was the final match, the one which will decide it all.
It was within this year that his team was the most dominant, and most favoured to win it. They had went on to win their Spring Seasonal Trophy, then , The Mid Summer Invitationals Trophy, then, The Summer Seasonal Trophy. They were one trophy away from achieving what Professional gamers called "The Golden Road".
'The Golden Road'. A term defined as the team who could win all four trophies consecutively within the year. It was close, Noel could feel it, and so could his team. By accomplishing 'The Golden Road', Noel and ROG Would become immortalised in all of esports. No team has ever achieved it, Yet. Noel was looking to be the first, along side ROG.
"Z4 At the back of the pit here, Could go for a steal, does have the smite up and available, Now ROG just needs to play this patiently. Asfa gonna start on the fight with a crucial engage here! AND SHE GETS 3 MEMBERS OF NIGHTMARE REVENANTS!"
"Charles, Zaw, Steal dragon fast. Don't give them any room to breathe." Noel commanded.
"AND Z4 YOINKS IT AWAY! ROG TAKE THE OBJECTIVE AND NOW THEY WANNA FIGHT! NIGHTMARE REVENANTS HAVE NO. WHERE. TO GO."
"Secured, Can we take the fight guys?" Zaw asked.
"Wait, Sidestep 3 Seconds, I can flash engage, just hold" Reuben Replied.
"Mellow Here on the edge will find a crucial Pick! He's got Braniac! No where to go for this man as Vengeance just picks him up!"
"Guys, Back off the fight, we have the game" Grace said.
It was the early part of the game. Just Twelve minutes in, and Noel and ROG are feeling good. 'This win is ours' He thought.
Minutes go by, and the game goes on. It was a back and forth fight. Eventually, at the 40 Minutes mark, Both sides were dead even. It would all come down to one last fight.
"Guys, we try back door?" Reuben asked.
"We can fight objective, Don't TP, save for last push." Charles replied.
"The game is dead even, This could be one last fight to decide the fates of both teams. ROG are first to the kraken, they set up vision, it's a slow start. But can't blame them. This is the last game to decide it all, whether if you would be immortalised."
"And Abstract, I think you and I both know what's a stake here for ROG and more especially for Vengeance. A Golden Road in his sights, Vengeance does not want to give this up, he can feel it in his grasp."
"We return to the fight now here comes Nightmare Revenants. Braniac on the back side of the pit, looking to shut this down fast before Z4 Can take it away."
"Guys No vision on the back help spot." Zaw said
"Play for objective. Just care Glaive." Noel said.
"Mantis coming in AND HE GETS THE ENGAGE! MELLOW'S DOWN! ROG JUST LOST THEIR SUPPORT! ON THE BACKSIDE IT'S ASFA BEING TARGETTED, BUT SHE GETS AWAY JUST BARELY ALIVE! MANTIS SMITES KRAKEN, AND NIGHTMARE REVENANTS ARE LOOKING TO TAKE OVER AND PUT A STOP TO ROG'S GOLDEN ROAD!"
"Fuck! I mistimed the smite guys." Zaw said Dejected.
"TP Top we go for back door". Noel said
"TP-ing first, watch mid, they're sieging." Grace replied.
