LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 171 3:0, Pentakill Saves the World! EDG Smash SKT to Advance to the MSI Finals!

The explosive power of the AD mid laner in the early stage is several times higher than that of the regular mage, which is why it can produce a wave effect in pushing towers.

Compared with Cui Shen, Peanut has a stronger presence, but most of the time it is in the opposite direction.

At this time, Ai Loli controlled the Emerald God and arrived at the middle lane in time to cooperate with Lucian to attack the tower.

Peanut was on his way back to defend the defense, and said in a relatively normal mood, "The two of them can't take it down."

But soon, he discovered another very serious problem. Two people could not destroy it, but what if four people suddenly showed up and worked together to destroy the tower?
As soon as the idea came to mind, Emerald God arrived and Caitlyn followed with Malzahar. A large wave of pressure was placed on the bottom lane to push into the tower, allowing Caitlyn to walk to the middle lane without any worries. This is the roaming effect brought about by continuous pressure on the lane.

Faker, who had anticipated this, was clearly concerned about this, so he said that the middle tower might be lost.

"Double AD is so powerful. As long as you get sent home in one wave, I can attack your tower. If we work together, no tower can withstand it."

Miller in the commentary booth deliberately raised his voice.

With the destruction of the middle tower, it showed that EDG's advantage in this game had been established.

After 10 minutes, the bottom tower didn't fall, but the middle tower was unexpectedly lost, which had a greater impact. The LCK audience was completely shocked.

[What is Peanut doing? Walking around.]

[Peanut, it feels like there's really no clear plan, just catching whatever you go.]

[You wouldn't be in such a disadvantageous position if you just stayed in the middle lane the entire game.]

[Xiba, are you planning to play in the LPL next year? ]

If Lin Ruo returned to the bottom lane, he would lose two or three soldiers entering the tower. Wolf also tried to block them in the triangle grass area.

The policewoman shot the ball through the thin wall with a caliber net, which bounced back and easily returned to her own tower.

Scout returned to the fountain and was in the Ruined King for 10 minutes. His strong period was about to begin.

Even two sets of equipment for Viktor during this period were not enough to defeat him with one set of skills.

"Do you want to try to grab the first wind dragon?" He was eager to try.

The SKT team gathered quickly and took advantage of Lucian's return to the city to seize the vision of the dragon pit.

"No." Lin Ruo made a judgment immediately.

Although Viktor still needs to develop, SKT's face-to-face lineup will not be too bad in team fights and will remain as powerful as ever. Bang probably has crushed Ashe's ultimate at this time and is just waiting for them to join the team fight so that he can make a move.

Moreover, the gem's ultimate skill is too restraining to the high-burst lineup.

How could Lin Ruo not understand it in his heart.

"What we need to do is use the flexibility of the two ADs to pick off single targets and take advantage of the opportunity to push the tower. As long as we can seize SKT's small mistakes, we can create a big rhythm. Don't always think about fighting a whole team. Our composition has a low tolerance rate for mistakes."

"Push down the tower first, and pay attention to the wards in the bushes."

No matter what lineup it is, it will be afraid of being flanked, let alone a double AD lineup with squishy heroes. Once Rambo finds an opportunity to come down and start roasting them with fire, it will be devastating.

Lin Ruo pinged the area near his own Ercao, Sanjiaocao, and the wide river.

The eyes in this position are the most difficult to arrange.

SKT got the Wind Dragon as they wished and retreated without a fight. Faker looked serious.

As soon as he returned to the middle route, he was pushed under his feet.

That's the trouble.

Lucian always managed to get downstream before him.

Ai Loli, who returned to the city, quickly bought two true eyes and rushed to the bottom lane at the same time. He went back and forth three times in ten minutes. He didn't need very good equipment. Xiaoju was enough to deal damage. He sacrificed the economy appropriately to control the vision and was able to provide shields in time from behind. His role was almost played out.

The spies were inserted all at once, completely illuminating the bushes in the bottom lane, and as expected, they blocked many of SKT's hidden visions.

Once the ward at the second grass position was lost, the three SKT junglers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Huni in the top lane was deliberately avoiding Gragas, looking for a suitable opportunity to teleport. Now that he had lost vision, the only place he could teleport to was the defensive tower. It would be better for him not to go down if he continued like this.

Ai Loli came online and summoned Xiaoju to lead the soldiers to charge forward, and the three of them headed straight for the first tower.

Scout lingered in the grassy area of ​​the river to avoid missing any eyes and to deal with Rambo's flank.

With meticulous operations, SKT had no chance of defending the next tower.

Just over 12 minutes later, EDG won another game.

The situation developed smoothly until the 18th minute, when both sides started fighting for the second wind dragon.

The five SKT players gathered at the dragon pit first.

Lin Ruo pushed the middle lane soldiers forward, calmly entered the river, and pinged the ward in the triangle grass in the red team's jungle in the bottom lane.

A Guang understood and handed over the tp to teleport down from the fountain.

His goal was not to go around and start a team fight, but to force SKT to retreat, thus giving up the dragon pit position and disrupting the formation.

As expected, when the TP was lit, the shocked SKT players immediately retreated to the jungle area.

Olaf sprinted into the triangle grass with the Gem Knight's stun beam, trying to catch the barrel that came down from behind.

Gragas was also not vague. He used E to move away and kept Q to interrupt the Gem Knight's pursuit speed. It was impossible for Olaf to kill him alone.

During the stalemate, EDG occupied the dragon pit, and Lin Ruo set three consecutive traps at the entrance to the wild area.

Coupled with the distraction of the troops in front of the middle lane tower, SKT's dream was directly shattered.

EDG took the second wind dragon.

Then I did another round of vision around the area. There was a true eye in the grass in the middle river and the small grass at the bottom.

Under EDG's well-paced rhythm, SKT players were a little depressed, but not to a too bad degree.

The mid-game is their strongest point, and the current game time is not even 20 minutes, so it is far from time to despair.

Bang was still fighting in the bottom lane, while EDG switched to Gragas.

There was a small friction between the two sides in the bottom lane. Gragas' flash replaced Ashe's flash, and then they pulled away.

The anxious Huni teleported down in vain and did not help his teammates for nearly 20 minutes. His pride made him unable to help but recklessly give up TP.

Controlling Rambo and joining up with his jungler and support teammates, Huni had no choice but to move towards the middle lane.

Faker, who was halfway through, took the blue buff and turned back first.

With both sides' slow operations, the game seemed a bit boring, but when Malzahar crouched near the river wall, the scene suddenly heated up.

Because Victor came down.

Although the vision through the wall has been eliminated, there is an EDG fake eye behind the three wolves, which clearly captures Victor's downward trajectory.

The steady Faker did not choose to go out from the three wolves' mouth to wait for soldiers, probably because he had three teammates behind him, which made him relax his vigilance.

"Look at me, look at me."

In the EDG voice chat, Tian Ye, who was ready to die, counted the time for Viktor to reach the wall area, and flashed out without hesitation, laid out his vision, and activated his ultimate skill to attract Viktor.

A team fight is about to break out.

In order to deal with Lucian's suppression in the early stage, Faker's summoner skills, apart from the fixed flash, the remaining one is weakness. Without purification, he is completely unable to break free from the control.

ScoutE, who had just arrived at the middle lane from the upper river, slid forward with his skill and started the Holy Lance Baptism.

Ai Loli Cuishen followed closely behind, throwing out the Q skill through the wall to imprison Victor, and then rushed forward in the second stage, immediately summoning Xiaoju to take the damage.

Lin Ruo, who didn't have the skill to jump over walls, was like a spectator, but he didn't need to deal any damage. Just based on Lucian's ultimate skill sweeping through him, Viktor would definitely die.

"Beautiful, perfect control, Faker can't escape."

Amid the cheers of the audience, Miller was filled with passion.

But he soon discovered that the situation was not over.

Behind Viktor, Huni, who was closest to Faker, threw out two consecutive fiery harpoons, then spread a vertical array of fire, burning both EDG's jungler and support, and activated Q to move forward.

The fragile Malzahar melted quickly in the face of the red-hot fire.

Almost fell down with Victor.

Peanut, who came from behind, activated his ultimate skills Ragnarok and Sprint, and took the lead in chasing after the Green God.

Lucian’s damage is very high, and with the cooperation of the policewoman, he was a little dazed.

The cosmic light fell, and Wolf behind him also activated his ultimate move, applying a silver-white shield to protect the team, making them immune to damage for 2.5 seconds.

Peanut is still moving forward.

But Rambo and Bao Shi behind him couldn't keep up with the pace.

Xiaoju threw a powerful punch, knocking the two men flying vertically.

Rambo failed to keep up with the continuous output, and the low-health Ai Loli used the flash in time to enter the river to avoid vision. Olaf smashed down with an axe, and the latter opened the shield and escaped narrowly.

Without the silver-white light shield, Peanut looked like a gun target exposed to the public.

Lucian used the Holy Body to shoot through the light, and Lin Ruo followed up with a headshot to take the kill.

Huni, who was a little slow in moving, finally brought the flames to the front line, but facing the damage and pull of the double AD, he seemed a little weak.

Lucian slid to create distance and started to attack. As for the policewoman in the river, she couldn't receive even the slightest damage.

This wave is totally unbeatable.

Without the two Cs, what effect can he achieve with just Rambo?

Huni decisively turned around and flashed back.

But suddenly an exploding barrel fell in front of him and blew him back to his original place.

Gragas joins the fray.

Flashing is the same as not flashing.

At the same time, a magic crystal arrow hit Lucian's forehead, and Ashe also joined the battlefield.

The lone bottom laners on both sides have arrived, but the current situation is completely different.

Huni, knowing he had no chance of survival, turned back to attack Lucian, but was instantly blown into the air. Wolf, who was watching from the sidelines, quickly retreated.

EDG won a big victory with a 1-for-3 exchange.

As it turned out, SKT had no chance of winning this team battle from the very beginning. The core output Viktor died suddenly and Ashe was not on the front battlefield.

SKT didn't have any gains to their advantage, and losing the Baron was the price they had to pay.

"Yeah, EDG once again took Baron in the early 20-minute mark, proactively attacking the opponent with poor vision. Is SKT really going to be finished? Xiba."

At the LCK commentary booth.

The Roaring Emperor held his head, his heart broken.

EDG crushed SKT with absolute early-game operations. 20 minutes ago, there was no large-scale team battle between the two sides.

Just after 20 minutes, the situation turned upside down.

After a steady operation of the Baron at 3 minutes, EDG took advantage of the situation to destroy all of SKT's outer towers in the top and middle positions.

With an economic gap of 6000 gold between the two sides and the Baron buff about to disappear, EDG launched an attack on SKT's last standing tower in the bottom lane.

The cheers that erupted from the audience almost blew the roof of the venue off.

The Korean Internet is already filled with wailing.

The LPL official live broadcast room was filled with joy.

SKT, which was already losing, launched a final offensive team battle.

Since it's a face-to-face lineup, there's no fear involved.

In the last team battle, one of the two carries was missing and one was killed instantly. It was obvious that the SKT players were not convinced.

It is still uncertain who will win or lose in a head-on 5v5 confrontation.

So they opened it without hesitation.

As Ashe shot an arrow behind the second tower, Scout Lucian, who was unable to retreat in time, was fixed in place.

The Roaring Emperor's eyes lit up, and he climaxed: "Xiba is hit, Bang's arrow actually shot Lucian in the crowd, can he turn the tables?"

Rambo's ultimate move fell from the sky.

Olaf received the light from heaven and once again took the lead and charged into the crowd.

SKT needs to prioritize killing Lucian whenever possible.

"I have a shield and redemption." Ai Loli controlled the Green God and gave away everything she could use without reservation.

"Be careful around you." Lin Ruo reminded.

Viktor, who came out from the flank of the wall, flashed and used the death ray, then threw out a gravity magnetic field to slow down.

Tian Ye immediately activated his ultimate skill of suction.

But the chaotic storm spread under his feet with the sound of electric current, and the damage was higher than he could have imagined. Malzahar's fragile body continued to be overwhelmed.

Faker dealt full damage.

Lin Ruo's E skill Caliber Net gave Victor a critical hit, causing him to temporarily bounce back.

Like Malzahar, he simply couldn't withstand the baptism of Viktor's ultimate.

"This wave of situation is not good. Lucian died under the baking of Rumble before he could use his flash. Malzahar's ultimate was also lost right after it ended, and he was killed by the moving Chaos Storm."

"EDG must retreat first."

Miller was concerned.

But when EDG was defeated, Viktor's gravity magnetic field failed, and the barrel, which was freed from control, threw his ultimate move to the side. Viktor fell back to his own tower uncontrollably, and Ashe was also blown to the side.

A Guang's sharp operation accurately limited the output of SKT's double C, helping Cui Shen to leave the battlefield first.

Lin Ruo, who was fighting and retreating at the same time, was in a very safe position from beginning to end.

A Guang turned around and stepped forward, continuing to buy time for his teammates. With his big belly, he pushed forward and the three SKT top, jungle and support who were pressing forward were all fixed in place.

It was this that created the perfect time for Lin Ruo to output.

The first shot was a headshot, and with the blessing of Hurricane Runa, three shots were fired. The Gem Knight was the first to die, and Rambo and Olaf were also hit by the storm bullets.

In the chaos, Rambo turned around and stepped on the clamp that the policewoman had set when she retreated.

Lin Ruo mercilessly shot Rambo in the head with the second shot right between his eyebrows and followed up with a basic attack. Rambo, who was almost half dead, died on the spot.

Miller, who was depressed in the commentary booth, suddenly became excited.

"What a critical hit, beautiful!"

Infinity plus Hurricane, attack speed shoes with yellow fork, the current attack power of the policewoman with almost three pieces of equipment is not bad at all.

Realizing something was wrong, Peanut turned around and walked away, but was knocked away by the surviving Ju.

Lin Ruo attacked twice in a row, then suddenly flashed forward, followed by a normal attack and a Peacemaker, targeting Victor who was coming up.

Viktor had just been hit in the head, and was being sucked down by Malzahar's ultimate, as well as bombarded by Gragas. His current health was not healthy to begin with.

The normal attack landed, and the Peacemaker's arrow passed through, and Faker had no time to react.

Victor was greeted by falling to the ground.

Triple kill.

The system notification sound of a triple kill echoed throughout the canyon.

Bang Ashe was outputing on the side, and Lin Ruo's health dropped significantly.

But don't forget, with Hurricane on her, the damage from the policewoman's flash attack also affected Ashe.

And an AD who doesn't have even two sets of equipment is going up against a policewoman who has almost three sets of equipment?

Lin Ruo could only sneer in his heart.

Do not overestimate your own capabilities.

He turned around and fired a shot without hesitation, used E followed by a basic attack to start healing, and a headshot with a sniper rifle was like a nuclear bomb, making Ashe truly feel the difference in damage.

Bang hissed, watching Ashe on the screen spin to the ground.

"Fuck, is this going to be a pentakill?"

Tian Ye, who had already died, started screaming in the voice.

Ai Loli walked forward silently and put a shield on Daddy. His health was actually very unhealthy now.

It was this shield that made Peanut despair.

He threw the axe and before it could hit the air, Olaf was knocked to the ground by a spear.

Penta Kill!!!

A notification tone far more shocking than a triple kill echoed through the speakers in the gymnasium.

After a strange calm.

The scene erupted in thunderous cheers, like waves in a strong wind, one after another.

"Oh my god, this pentakill turns the tide!"

The Haier brothers smiled at each other, staring at the shock in each other's eyes.

On the English commentary platform, Maomao swallowed his saliva and shook his head in disbelief.

"As an AD carry making his international debut, Lin Ruo scored his first pentakill right after his debut, and against SKT, Bang, and Crazy. It's simply unbelievable."

Caedrel remained relatively calm, stunned by what he saw. He asked thoughtfully, "I heard he just entered the professional arena this year, right?"

In the LCK official livestream, the Roaring Emperor was so exhausted he was gasping for breath, repeating word for word through gritted teeth: "Lin Ruo! Lin Ruo! He ruined SKT's hopes of a comeback."

【Xiba, what a perverted player.】

[Without SKT, GG, please swim back soon, just across the Pacific Ocean.]

I heard he’s only 17…

We're about to fall to EDG twice, once in the finals and once in the semifinals. Hopefully, EDG is only strong at MSI.

The Korean Internet was completely blown up.

After this wave, SKT lost the lower highland crystal and the middle highland. Although the main crystal was not pushed down, the ending was already doomed.

A four-piece suit for Miss Fortune! A two-piece suit for Ashe?
Playing here...

EDG regrouped and attacked the high ground. The policewoman shot down the Gem Knight with a casual shot, forcing him to turn back to the fountain to replenish his health.

The moment the great devil Viktor fell, it confirmed SKT's complete failure.

Bang's heart was completely dead.

He couldn't accept being the background figure for someone else's pentakill. Before the game was over, he was already holding his head in his hands in his seat.

He doesn't mind losing, but he can't lose so badly.

After this game, the AD gap will become a topic that everyone talks about.

"There's still the World Championship, and we'll get revenge."

Wolf comforted, then sighed.

At this moment, Peanut could no longer smile no matter how optimistic he was.

The time is fixed at 26 minutes and 20 seconds.

On the big screen, the red team SKT crystal exploded with a loud bang, and the game officially ended.

Looking at the word "failure", Faker was at a loss and tried his best to remain calm.

SKT lost to EDG 0:3 and will miss the upcoming MSI finals for the first time.
