You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 128 A brilliant plan cannot compare to a flash of genius.

Time quickly reached 11 minutes.

The mid, bottom, jungle, and support players from both sides gathered at the Dragon Pit, and a 4v4 team fight was about to break out!
At this moment, the players in JDG's voice chat were chatting with great enthusiasm.

"So, are you going to do it or not?"

"Go ahead and use your ultimate on Orianna! If we lose the team fight, I'll just eat her!"

"Okay, go!"

"Look at my divine might, invincible!"

The prince in Lu Bu's skin shouted a brave slogan, and his EQ combo followed by R directly hit Orianna's head!
An Orianna without Flash, caught in Jarvan IV's ultimate, is doomed!
Next, let's see what price JDG will have to pay!
The green-haired Leona decisively followed up with her ultimate, stunning Orianna in place.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mingjing didn't hesitate at all and instantly activated his ultimate skill, [Hunter's Instinct], landing behind Orianna!

During the ultimate skill's flight, W [Void Seeker] is released in the opposite direction!
The moment he landed, W was released, hitting Orianna, followed by a basic attack and then [Icathian Rain]!
Mingjing deliberately chose a relatively isolated landing spot for his ultimate skill so that he could land all the evolved Q skills on Orianna.

Twelve bullets were fired directly at Orianna, and with the terrifying attack power, Kai'Sa brought Orianna to near-death in almost a single exchange!

On the other side, a flash of golden light appeared, and Beryl's previously unyielding Flash now came in handy. Alistar used Flash twice to charge at Kai'Sa!

However, Ming Jing's team fight ability has been honed to a high level. Even in the midst of a chaotic battle, he will certainly not miss any key skills that pose a real threat to him!

With Hail of Blades at his disposal, he launched another basic attack at Clockwerk, then activated Flash.

Kai'Sa's A-Flash repositioning not only dodged the double attack but also didn't hinder her damage output.

At this moment, Clockwork also awoke from control. Clockwork unleashed a QR attack, and the puppet successfully flew in front of Kai'Sa, stirring up a vast amount of spatial energy.

Ghost even thought his ultimate was going to hit, and the Bomber threw his ultimate, "Scientific Infernal Cannon," directly at Kai'Sa!
But Mingjing was not afraid at all. He launched his third basic attack with the Conqueror Blade, and the attack hit Orianna even faster, instantly emptying Orianna's health bar!
The puppet also vanished instantly due to the death of its original form, and the ultimate skill that was being cast could not be completed.

"The clockwork was instantly killed! A double entrance from Xiaofei and Kanavi!"

The moment the kill was made, Mingjing immediately pressed E and healed. Kai'Sa received the double movement speed buff and escaped the battlefield. The Ziggs' ultimate didn't even touch Kai'Sa!

It seemed thrilling, but in reality, everything was calculated!
Toothpaste became a key surprise weapon at this time. The Tsar targeted the Bomber who had no flash, and the Tsar used a WEQ drift from the side to fly straight to the back row!
Ghost attempted to use his W [Targeted Demolition] to blast himself away, but the Bomber's W was too slow and couldn't compare to a proper dash. Just as he jumped, Azir used [Imperial Wall] to push the Bomber into JDG's encirclement!
"Beautiful! Toothpaste also pushed Ghost! DWG is about to collapse!"

In fact, when DWG insisted on taking the dragon fight with their two carries without Flash, the defeat was already inevitable, because Mingjing's Kai'Sa would handle everything.

The Bull's double attack is a skill used to limit mediocre talents. If you try to limit Mingjing, you will be making a big mistake.

The female player used her E-Flash on Canyon's Graves, startling him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately used Flash to escape.

But Green Hair wasn't flustered. The Leona turned around and used her Q to stun the old man, then shared the beef with her teammates.

"Give the kills to Mingjing! Give the kills to Mingjing!" Green Hair shouted while controlling the situation and asking Mingjing for kills.

But of course, there's no need to elaborate on this.

Even Kanavi, who has always liked to ban K-heads, doesn't seem to have any intention of banning them now, showing how sensible he is.

I used to like K-head because he would lose if he didn't C-head.

What's the point of even bothering with this now?!
Mingjing's 8 MVPs cured Kanavi's K-head syndrome.

Mingjing waited for the final AQ, then used Plasma to fully charge Q and kill the Minotaur, securing a double kill!

"Rampage!"

4-0, almost a rampage!
"A perfect 3-for-0 team fight, JD Gaming can reliably secure a Water Dragon!"

The water dragon's mournful howl echoed throughout the arena, and at this moment, the terrain of the canyon underwent a dramatic change, confirming the fire dragon soul as the dragon soul for this round.

After securing the dragon, JDG's four players didn't hesitate for a moment before rotating to the mid lane and taking down the low-health mid tower as well.

After finishing off the team fight, Mingjing finally returned to the fountain and built his first item, Infinity Edge.

Regardless of how this BO5 series unfolds, in the first game, Mingjing is destined to dominate and lead his team to victory!

The director quickly showed a replay of the team fight, where Kai'Sa leaped into the fray, dodged Alistar's combo, and killed Orianna, causing a huge surge in the number of comments in the live stream!
Holy crap, someone's using a cheat!

Wow, if this weren't a real match, I'd seriously think Kai'Sa was using a script! Her reactions are just too fast!

[During the laning phase, Xiaofei also used Flash to dodge Alistar's combo once. Now that it's happening again in team fights, is he really going to dodge it reliably?]

[This genius is truly astounding; his reaction is almost inhuman.]

[What kind of game is DWG playing? If Alistar can't land his combo, who can even touch Kai'Sa? Aren't Orianna, Ziggs, and Graves just toys?]

"Is there even a question? Just send it!"

[Haha, DWG doesn't even have a proper AD carry. Kai'Sa goes in, kills someone, and comes out barely hurt. Isn't that just like casually roaming around?]

[This is how stealing a country works: the Ghost Emperor's skill has such a low hit rate that he can even steal from the Bomber. Does he even understand how to steal it?]

The usually composed DWG players are now in complete disarray.

Because they all know that the current situation is already very difficult.

Beryl hadn't given up yet. He adjusted his glasses and asked, "It's okay, let's take it slow. We still have a chance."

In Beryl's view, although this game was unfavorable, the key to breaking the deadlock was actually very clear: Kai'Sa!

It is a well-known fact that LPL teams have always lacked discipline, even championship-winning teams like IG and FPX are no exception.

Discipline is not only reflected in actions and attitude towards the game, but also in vision, which is a key aspect of discipline.

JDG's vision control is actually outstanding compared to other LPL teams.

However, they are still no match for LCK teams that place extreme emphasis on strategic play.

Beryl has been studying JDG's playstyle and vision control habits at different stages since the group stage.

Next, JDG will definitely enter a push phase. As their territory expands, vision will inevitably be disrupted!

The chance to turn things around lies within that.

Next, both sides entered a brief period of peaceful development.

Under Redmi's guidance, JDG may not be able to match top teams like GEN and T1 in terms of discipline, but compared to teams in the same region like TES and SN, they are definitely much better!

Even with their current huge advantage, JDG will not easily launch an attack as long as Mingjing doesn't have Flash, and will focus on farming.

Even for a 15-minute vanguard mission, they chose to give it up without hesitation, with Mingjing's safety as the absolute core.

This steady approach surprised and troubled DWG.

Is it so stable?
DWG easily secured the Rift Herald and then released it in the top lane, where they managed to destroy a top lane turret with the help of Ziggs' pinpoint detonation. However, Mingjing and his teammates mitigated the damage in the bottom lane, taking down the bottom lane turret as well, so this wasn't a complete loss.

But Beryl took this opportunity to place a true and a false ward deep in JDG's deserted top jungle area, laying a crucial foreshadowing!

At 16 minutes, Mingjing's Flash skill closely followed the dragon's respawn time, successfully turning the tide in the dragon fight.

Beryl knew that the small dragon team in front of them was definitely not an opportunity for them, so he directly ordered his team to let the dragon go!

After all, the bottom half of the map has always been JDG's territory, and their vision control is quite comprehensive. If the two sides engage in a head-on team fight, they will undoubtedly lose!

Taking advantage of JDG's opportunity to secure their third dragon, DWG grouped up in the mid lane and pushed down the mid lane tower in one fell swoop.

But this deal is definitely not profitable, after all, JDG is already one win away from the Fire Dragon Soul, and for DWG, they are already on the brink of defeat in this game and cannot afford any more losses.

But Beryl also knew that their opportunity was coming soon.

While Mingjing still had Flash available, JDG finally began to push forward. Kanavi went back to the jungle and farmed all the way to the top side of the map. At the same time, Mingjing led the team to clear the mid lane first, and then they all rotated to the top lane.

At this stage, the advantage is not significant enough, and pushing the middle and bottom second towers is too risky, so pushing the top first tower is a wise move.

Mingjing and his teammates headed north and met up with Kanavi, who had just arrived. The five of them launched an attack on the top lane tower!

But this is the moment DWG has been waiting for!

At this point, it can be seen that Beryl's Alistar was already crouching in the bush in the middle of the top lane. No one knows when he got there.

Moreover, in the bush behind JDG's top tower, a control ward was lying quietly there.

The bushes behind the first tower only connect the top lane first tower and the Krug camp. Few people usually pass through there, and Green Hair doesn't usually ward there. Now, it has become a key factor for DWG to turn the tide!
A beam of light flashed directly on the ward, it was Nuguri's Sett!
DWG's disadvantage never affected Nuguri; his Sett always had an advantageous laning phase, and he also had Flash available.

And most importantly, this teleport was done in the dark, and it seems that no one on JDG noticed it at all!
Moreover, not only that, even the cow's head hidden in the grass remained undiscovered.

Discipline is demonstrated at this moment. If it is an LCK team, when pushing the top lane, vision will be spread out as well, in order to prevent danger as much as possible.

LPL teams, however, rarely do this.

(This is just a random screenshot. JDG was pushing down the bottom lane when they encountered a team fight. You can see that there is no vision around the bottom lane, only the blue wards with the Far Sight mod. This scene is not an isolated case; you can find similar examples easily.)
"Hey! This T!" In the commentary booth, my cousin's heart started pounding. "We have to be careful with this one!"

The Minotaur in the bushes, the Sett flanking from behind.

If those two manage to outmaneuver Kai'Sa, then anything could happen!
The situation is slowly becoming tense, and a sense of crisis is spreading among all JDG supporters.

We can't get fired, Little Fei!
On JDG's side, Mingjing, who was pushing the lane with his team, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

The current situation can be described as calm and peaceful, which is theoretically quite in line with the previous rhythm of both sides.

After all, there hasn't been a single kill between the two sides since the dragon fight at 11 minutes.

But Mingjing just felt something was wrong.

He has a very sensitive sense of distance. He can clearly see that although the enemy Orianna is doing tower defense and clearing waves, her positioning is that of someone ready to team fight at any time, always maintaining the maximum distance that allows her to Flash QR to him.

Joining a tour group, but whose tour group?
"Where's the Minotaur on the other side?" Ming Jing suddenly asked. "Has it shown itself?"

"I don't know," Green Hair immediately replied. "He hasn't appeared in a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ming Jing immediately looked at the mini-map!

And coincidentally, just as his gaze shifted upwards, he saw Sett's portrait appear right in their jungle vision!
JDG definitely has vision in their own tri-bush, and Nuguri's Sett's TP landing will inevitably expose him to vision in the tri-bush.

"Sett is behind us!" Green Hair, who had been watching the minimap, shouted, "Watch out! Watch out! Don't get grabbed!"

Because of Sett's appearance, JDG is already on guard. If DWG wants to make a move, they can only do it now!
Thinking of this, Ming Jing felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then, a golden light flashed from the bushes, and sure enough, the Minotaur emerged from the nearby grass and charged at him with a close-range WQ combo!
The distance to the Minotaur was not far to begin with. After flashing to close the distance and then using WQ, plus the fact that it was a well-intentioned but unprepared sneak attack, the reaction time was shortened to the extreme!

But at this moment, Ming Jing's pupils contracted slightly. Under his extremely high concentration, the bull's movements became incredibly slow in his eyes, and he had entered a state of instantaneous flow.

Without much thought, he decisively pressed Flash!

Biu!

Another golden light flashed, and Kai'Sa dodged Alistar's double attack once again!

"He dodged it!"

"Wow!"

"Wow! What a quick reaction!"

The three commentators in the LPL commentary booth immediately started shouting and yelling!
Beryl looked somber on the DWG player bench.

He knew that the moment his WQ missed, the game was already over.

Unless they can instantly kill Kai'Sa, they have absolutely no chance of winning the team fight!

Beryl's meticulously planned strategy was thwarted by Mingjing's sudden flash of inspiration.

Green Hair stunned Sett with a Q, and Mingjing gained a passive stack. Without Flash, he didn't hold back his skills and used his ultimate to fly behind Sett, escaping Orianna's skill range and eliminating any possibility of Sett carrying him back.

Mingjing already has Infinity Edge and Guinsoo's Rageblade, plus an Azir known for his sustained damage output. In terms of damage, he is definitely not comparable to the enemy Clockwerk.

Nuguri's Sett was completely immobilized by crowd control, and he finally couldn't hold back any longer. He simply grabbed the Leona in front of him and slammed her into his own team, landing an EW True Damage Fist that killed Leona in one punch!

But with Sett out of his ultimate, Ornn was naturally in a good position. Zoom used his second R to knock up four people, including the two carries!
The Toothpaste Tsar leaped into the fray and unleashed a powerful [Imperial Guard Wall], pushing all four who had been knocked away back!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kanavi's Prince used EQ followed by R to slam down the enemy, instantly killing the Bomber!

However, the next second, Showmaker's Orianna unleashed a powerful attack, hitting both Tsar Ornn and Jarvan IV in front of him!
Toothpaste decisively pressed the stopwatch to protect himself, but Kanavi was in trouble. Sett punched twice, Graves used his Q to bounce against the wall of Jarvan IV's ultimate, and then used his ultimate to empty Kanavi's health bar!
But it’s not a big problem!

DWG fought desperately, but could only manage to trade kills for their jungler and support.

Ming Jing is still almost at full health!

Kai'Sa had already stacked her Guinsoo's Rageblade and was unleashing her full damage, picking off everyone one by one!

"Triple kill!"

"ACE!"

The sounds of triple kills and team wipes echoed throughout the arena.

Amid cheers from JDG players, LPL commentators, and the entire audience.

Amid the wails of DWG players, LCK commentators, and Shan Ni Ruo.

JDG executed a crushing team fight where two players traded for five, securing the victory in advance!
