Defence Of The Ancients

Out from the moonlight tavern he rose: bones slowly assembling, the great King Leoric now only level one was under my command. Dawn was just breaking as the horns of war sounded; I sprinted to reach my lane in time. Waiting for me already was the infamous mogul khan Axe, equipped only with two stout shields: perfect for harassing. I subtly typed, “-di –showdeny” and began to lane.

We had great difficulties in store for us, attempting to lane against the renowned juggernaut Yunero. During his blade storm he is immune to magical damage and stun, while racking up serious damage and last hitting our creeps. Needless to say, Axe’s blood lust is not easily quenched and a simple 5 minutes into our great war, he sacrificed himself to destroy our opponent. One for one, but I was the only one to remain in the lane; Victory for the scourge. I took this opportunity to gain easy levels and get some creep kills, but we were only beginning this war.

It was Lion, the demon war witch, who was soon to leave us. I watched the countdown of his life until I could take no more. Our bot solo, burst damage specialist of the scourge was lagging out. A snide “pp” rang out from purple’s keyboard and all I could respond with was “no.” It was 4v5 now, a losing battle. As axe was not pleased particularly by the 15 more seconds he had to re-spawn, hate burned inside of him. As I left our lane to fulfill Lion’s duties Axe sprinted into our former fray, even more blood thirst than ever. After being nearly immediately slaughtered by the juggernaut, he too left us, but by choice. 3v5. Another snide remark came from the sentinel as if urging us to quit, “gg”.

Of course I could never have this. After a quick burst of team planning, Mirana, Priestess of the Moon, left mid to take on jugg, while storm was left mid to face viper and enchantress. Meanwhile I had arrived at my fate: the reason Lion left us: both a phantom assassin and a stealth assassin: Rikimaru and Mortred stood invisible on my path to victory.

For the rest you would just have to watch the replay. Needless to say, I went 12-0.
