Chapter 137 The Champion!

Mingjing rushed out of the fountain with the team. The JDG players were quite enthusiastic at this moment, discussing their early game strategy.

"I'll try to secure it this round," Kanavi said. "What do you think?"

Mingjing nodded. "It's possible, but you have to be careful."

The opposing team's EZ and Garen combo has exceptional laning ability, and they're the type who'd rather lose minions than take damage. Even when the minion wave reaches the tower, both minions are at full health. Kanavi's jungler this game is Graves, so the chances of him tower diving are slim.

The problem is that Graves is too passive against Kindred, and the top lane is likely to be at a disadvantage. If Kanavi farms up to protect her, he might fall into a trap if he's not careful.

Kanavi was certainly aware of this, so he simply nodded in agreement.

Following the jungler's strategy, Mingjing also devised his laning strategy.

Since the jungler isn't farming down there anymore, he doesn't need to force a fight anymore. He should just push the lane into the tower, take the turret plating, and gain an advantage.

The first two minutes of the match were surprisingly peaceful.

In the mid lane, neither Galio nor Syndra can push the other, and the minion wave is still in the center.

Nuguri's Camille in the top lane had a slight advantage. In order to enhance his laning attributes, he specifically chose the Grasp of the Undying rune, and successfully suppressed Ornn.

In the bottom lane, Mingjing clearly held the advantage firmly.

Ghost wasn't completely on the defensive this game; while last-hitting minions, he would occasionally use his Q [Mystic Shot] to shoot Jinx.

But so far, Ghost's Q has never been hit.

While dodging Q, Mingjing used the wave-pushing attribute of the cannon form to push the minion wave into the tower early.

Even because DWG's jungler was Kindred, Mingjing wasn't worried about being caught and openly attacked the turret plating.

“Click, click, click”

Five small dots appeared on DWG's bottom lane turret, and then slowly disappeared one by one. This is the effect of the Resolve rune [Demolish].

Miller nodded upon seeing the explosion, showing considerable approval.

In the previous game, the team missed the first tower by a mere ten seconds, which put them at a slight disadvantage in the early game. It's clear that Green Hair made a last-minute change to the strategy and picked Demolish.

The female character activated her W ability and unleashed a powerful slash, using the explosive force to reduce the turret's health by a small amount.

However, it is worth noting that when Jinx was using her ultimate attack, she deliberately took a few steps back.

After the explosive strike, Jinx pressed forward again, and five more small balls appeared on the screen.

After the five small balls disappeared, Jinx fired another shot, reducing the turret's health by a small amount!

At this moment, Beryl seized the opportunity, using his W ability to lift Jinx's health as much as possible.

But Jinx reacted incredibly quickly, making a clever forward move that took the shortest route to dodge Rakan's attack, and then moving sideways to dodge Ezreal's Q, easily getting out of the tower.

"Great positioning! Very focused, Xiaofei!" Miller praised him as usual, but quickly shifted the focus back to the bot lane duo's double demolition.

Jinx's secondary runes are usually boots and biscuits. Boots are the most cost-effective economic rune, while biscuits are used to support the lane.

If you choose the Demolitionist secondary tree, then you're essentially turning it into Demolitionist and Overgrowth.

The extra health gained from overgrowth can compensate for the economic losses incurred by the shoes.

While Demolitionist offers less lane sustain compared to Biscuit, the difference in laning ability between the two players in the bottom lane means that Mingjing doesn't need that sustain at all. Using Demolitionist for pushing towers is perfect for him!

This means that Mingjing used his skill advantage to gain extra tower-pushing speed.

"If that's the case, then it can be interpreted as JD Gaming not planning to use the Herald this game?" Mingkai thought for a moment and said, "They want to use two Demolitionists instead of the Herald to take down a tower!"

"Because Beryl has also leveled up to six in Vanguard, their tactics are no longer effective." Miller's tone was somewhat wistful: "JD.com's players are also adapting to the opponent's growth!"

Regardless, seeing the consistent advantage in the bottom lane is a reassuring sight.

If they can develop like this until the 30-minute mark, then victory will surely belong to JDG!

Of course, DWG would never agree to that.

Just as the bottom lane was gaining a strong advantage, the camera switched to the top half of the map.

On the top lane, Nuguri pushed the lane slowly, but still managed to push it into the tower.

Camille and Kindred's tower-diving ability is actually quite considerable. They have control, burst damage, and a finishing move, and the two of them are enough to take down a full-health enemy.

But Nuguri walked deeper into the turret, not towards Ornn beneath it.

Camille walked straight through DWG's top lane turret and disappeared into the tri-bush!
At this moment, trouble had already befallen Kanavi in ​​the jungle.

Kanavi's farm effectively prevented Ornn from being tower-dived.

However, DWG's sense of smell was too sharp. When Canyon entered the jungle and saw that JDG's Gromp was still there, he immediately changed his strategy and set his sights on the approaching Graves.

Since Kindred usually locks the mark onto the jungler at the start of the game, this target switch did not arouse suspicion.

When Camille sneaked into the jungle and Kanavi realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Kindred emerged from the darkness using QW to vault over the wall, applying the Red Buff's slow effect to him.

The Steel Shadow immediately hooked herself against the wall at the furthest distance and launched a flying kick!
Kanavi didn't hold back on his skills, immediately flashing over the thick wall from the Gromp and running towards the second tower. But Nuguri reacted quickly and executed his maneuvers swiftly. Camille followed up with an E-flash, knocking him unconscious!

Kindred flashed up at that moment, used her E to apply a slow effect and apply full Press the Attack!
Camille then landed a true injury with a kick, and Kindred's basic attack triggered her E skill to finish off Kanavi, who died on the spot!

"First blood!"

The news of the first blood resounded throughout the arena, and a pink glow rose around Kindred's head, increasing her passive stacks by 1.

For Kindred, getting First Blood and his passive ability right at the start is practically a dream start!

The crowd fell silent instantly, their cheers fading away.

"Ouch." Kanavi looked at the black and white screen and scratched his head in frustration. "My..."

It wasn't that he wouldn't listen to advice; he was actually quite cautious. After all, he had a full stack of True Man power and was at full health, so he genuinely didn't think the other side could kill him.

Even when Camille kicked at him, he simply dodged!

But unfortunately, the opponent was really a bit abnormal.

As the team's former leader and current second-in-command, Kanavi didn't actually carry a single game in the five final matches, which made him a little anxious and feel that he had let the team down.

"It's alright." Ming Jing didn't seem to care. "Let's take it slow. At least we didn't die on the way."

If we only look at this wave of kills, then it's definitely a loss.

However, if Ornn is tower-dived, then it's a different story.

Compared to the top laner being outmaneuvered, losing both minions and tank items, the jungler sacrificing himself to trade two flashes for the enemy top and jungle is actually a more acceptable outcome.

At the very least, the enemy top and jungle without Flash shouldn't be able to dive the tower recklessly for a while.

"Just protect the top lane for now," Ming Jing said. "Next, let's move towards the bottom lane and try to take the dragon and the first turret."

"Okay." Kanavi nodded, bought the Red Smite jungle item, and went back out.

The first blood given up at the start disrupted the fragile balance between the two junglers, but Canyon was quite rational and did not chase Kanavi in ​​the bottom half of the map, instead focusing on the top half.

Of course, Canyon also has its own considerations.

It's worth noting that the swamp frog is still alive today.

Kindred's level 1-3 marks will only spawn on the Scuttle Crab, F6, and Gromp.

Canyon's luck at the start of this game wasn't great. The mark refreshed on the bottom river crab, and Graves would definitely go to the bottom lane as soon as he respawned, taking advantage of the bottom lane to secure the river crab.

However, this means that both the river crab and F6 will be in a cleared state, so the next round of marks will definitely refresh on the swamp frog.

It was precisely because of this that Canyon was able to secure the second layer of markings.

Just like in the previous game, Beryl bought boots early and used his W's mobility to roam back and forth between the mid and bottom lanes, reaping all the tower kill experience.

But everyone understands that DWG will never sit idly by and wait for their doom; they are simply looking for an opportunity.

Five minutes later, while Galio was recalling to base to replenish his supplies, the opportunity finally arrived.

Showmaker's Syndra pushed the mid lane into the tower, pretending to recall to replenish supplies, but in reality, she secretly coordinated with Kindred and headed straight for the top lane!

This feint didn't fool anyone, because the Kindred hunting mark above Ornn's head said it all.

"The other side might be going to dive," Toothpaste said. "Do you want me to protect you? I specifically saved my TP."

“No need,” Zoom said decisively. “I have Flash, I can make plays. See if you can gank the enemy in the bottom lane. If you can’t, then come and protect me.”

Zoom understood that his Ornn wasn't worth the team saving him like that.

Toothpaste understood, and with TP available, he stopped moving and simply pushed the lane in the mid lane.

In the bottom lane, upon hearing this, Mingjing decisively switched to his cannon and unleashed a barrage of attacks, accelerating the lane push.

DWG's mid and jungle players moved ahead and quickly arrived at the top lane, blocking Zoom's retreat route.

Zoom looked down at Camille and Kindred below the tower, sweat beading on his forehead and palms, his heart pounding.

However, he didn't think there were no opportunities to operate in this wave!

First, we need to analyze who is carrying the tower.

Just then, Canyon Kindred raised her hand and fired a basic attack straight at him.

This perfectly matches Zoom's analysis. Just as Kindred raised her hand, Ornn turned around and used his Q, accurately hitting Kindred and slowing her down!
But at that moment, Showmaker's Syndra decisively used WQ to push the ball out.

With intense focus, Zoom's mind was exceptionally clear. He seized the perfect moment and unleashed an E [Fiery Charge]!
Ornn's E is like Tristana's W and Urgot's E, with a slow casting speed and a very short casting time.

However, this loading bar isn't all bad.

If the timing is right, and you actively absorb control skills during the casting phase, the skill's release will not be interrupted, allowing you to complete a high-difficulty control cancellation.

This time, Zoom timed it perfectly.

During the charging process, the goat was hit by Syndra's push ball, but it still lowered its head and headbutted out, smashing the newly formed stone pillar!
Canyon Kindred used "Dance of Arrows" to move laterally, but Kindred's movement distance was too short, and she was still knocked up at the limit!

Seeing that E hit, Zoom knew that this wave was won.

At this moment, Nuguri Camille's wall-mounted flying kick followed. Zoom saw it and decisively pressed W [Bellfire Breath] to use the immunity to crowd control to block the kick, and applied the Brittle status to Kindred!
Immediately afterwards, Ornn decisively flashed behind Kindred and used a basic attack to proc Fragile!
The fragile control even knocked Kindred a little into the tower!
At this distance, even if Kindred uses Q, she won't be able to roll out of the turret's range!

Below the stage, countless cheers erupted!
"Beautiful!" Miller in the commentary booth roared. "The Duke's maneuver was incredibly calm!"

The previous flash kill by Kindred and Camille became a key foreshadowing. No one expected that Ornn could withstand Syndra and Camille's chain of crowd control and forcefully keep Kindred in place!

Canyon saw his health bar and knew he couldn't escape, so he simply used his E on Ornn, followed by AQAA, landing Press the Attack and his E to finish off Ornn.

The last basic attack had just been launched when the turret's barrage came crashing down, killing him first!

"JDG Zoom has killed DWG Canyon!"

After Kindred was killed, Camille also landed a true damage Q kick on Ornn, directly securing Zoom's kill, resulting in a one-for-one exchange!

"Wow!" the doll exclaimed habitually, "This is crucial!"

Although Ornn still died, he managed to take down one of the three opponents, which is already a great achievement!
Keep in mind that the people at JDG haven't been idle either!

In the bottom lane, Mingjing also pushed the minion wave into the tower!
If it were a normal laning phase, Mingjing would definitely be going for a slow push, because the mid lane has entered the tower, and Beryl would normally go to the mid lane to farm experience. So, he could take advantage of this moment to make a slow push, push the minion wave in, and take the opportunity to significantly reduce the tower's health.

But since the bottom lane had decided to dive the tower, Mingjing flexibly changed his strategy, switching to cannons and bombarding the bottom lane minions ahead of time, locking the enemy duo under the tower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kanavi's Graves appeared behind the enemy tower and placed a control ward!
In previous games, Kanavi, who had been killed once, would definitely not have a true sight ward in his pocket. He would have to prioritize his own development. It can only be said that the vision control issue that Redmi has repeatedly emphasized has indeed changed him.

The moment the ward landed, Galio's Teleport lit up, and a four-man gank on the second lane came without warning!

The cheers from the audience grew even louder!
Seeing the situation, Ghost and Beryl immediately understood that maneuvering was impossible; they could only try to escape if they could!
“You run away,” Beryl said. “I’ll sell.”

As he spoke, Beryl's Rakan walked towards Galio and used his W to lift Galio, who had just landed, into the air!

Ghost's Ezreal decisively retreated with Arcane Shift, while Beryl tried to follow with E with Dance of the Gods.

If he uses that E displacement ability, he might be able to escape!
But then Graves hit him in the face with a smoke grenade, cutting off his chance to escape using his E ability.

Smoke bomb!
Even the usually calm Beryl swore because of the disgusting smoke bomb skill.

Galio followed up with a WE combo, and Leona followed up with an E, completely sealing off his escape route.

"EZ may have escaped, but killing Rakan is still an option!" On the commentary desk, Wawa smiled. "Let's see who gets the kill! Jinx would be the best!"

But Ming Jing didn't think that way. He brought Luo to low health and then turned and left.

"Brother Pian, take your head."

Kindred is now at a perfect level with a 1-1-1 formation and three layers of marks.

If Kanavi doesn't farm and catch up on his farm, the jungle matchups will be completely unbalanced, making the game very difficult.

Mingjing doesn't need the money from just one person.

Kanavi didn't hold back and secured the kill with a single basic attack.

This distribution of personnel has sparked much discussion.

Why give the kill to a jungler who gave up first blood when the bottom lane clearly had the advantage?
And that's not all.

After killing Luo, Kanavi turned to fight the dragon one-on-one, while Mingjing and Lvmao used double explosion to take down another layer of plating.

In this exchange, JDG achieved a 2-for-1 trade and secured the dragon, making it a huge win for them.

Looking at it now, Kanavi's loss from giving up first blood at the start of the game is almost over.

Of course, the value of Kindred's three-layer mark is immeasurable, so the situation remains unclear.

Eight minutes quickly passed.

The previous one-for-one trade in the top lane did not affect the situation there. DWG still maintained absolute control. Canyon was prepared and secured the Herald when it spawned.

As the first turret was secured, Beryl's Rakan also appeared beside Kindred, and the two headed straight for the top lane, determined to take the first turret.

It's worth mentioning that Nuguri's Camille also brought Demolish this game, and JDG's top tower was also low on health at this point.

Zoom couldn't do anything in the face of this offensive. He could only use his ultimate ability in advance to clear out all the ranged minions and low-health melee minions, and then consciously hide behind the second tower.

However, his wave clear was still meaningful because the insufficient number of minions forced DWG to release the Rift Herald early to tank the tower.

The defensive towers will gain a significant increase in both physical and magical resistance as the plating decreases and the number of surrounding heroes increases, so it is better to deploy Vanguards, which can deal a lot of true damage to the defensive towers, as late as possible.

Zoom's wave clear has significantly slowed down DWG's tower pushing speed.

Very important!
At this moment, the director switched to a split screen and turned the camera to the bottom lane!

The JDG duo had already pushed the lane into the tower and launched their final assault on it.

Just like the previous game, both sides once again started a race to get the first tower kill!
However, this time, JDG's duo's choice of double demolition became a key foreshadowing. At this moment, it can be clearly seen that DWG's bottom tower only has one last layer of plating left.

On the top lane, the vanguard charged headlong into the enemy, but it only managed to bring both towers to a similar level of health.

But at this point, JDG's bombing had only just begun.

“We’re faster!” Ming Jing checked the situation on the top lane and had already come to his conclusion. “We’re more than five seconds faster! Brother Pian, hurry up!”

"Here we come." Kanavi's Graves, having traveled a long way, successfully arrived just before the turret collapsed, thus securing the bounty for the first turret kill.

This scene drew another wave of question marks from the live chat.

A Graves who gives up first blood at the start and never actually ganks anyone from beginning to end, yet still gets kills and the bounty for the first tower?

Is this reasonable?

This wasn't a game where Jinx carried in the late game?

"Giving it to Graves is fine too," my cousin said at this point. "Now is the time to trust your teammates."

“Yes!” Miller nodded emphatically. “World champions are never single-handedly carried; they always need their teammates to contribute! Xiaofei understands this! It’s a very selfless playstyle!”

This argument is certainly reasonable, but the audience still feels uneasy.

While JDG was pushing down the tower, Canyon took the fourth mark from Kanavi's three wolves.

In terms of economy, Kindred is unmatched; in terms of passive stacks, Kindred with four stacks of the mark has already achieved its first range evolution.

Is Graves really more useful than Kindred?

Even Kanavi felt a pang of guilt slowly forming in his heart.

As a jungler who gave up first blood at the start of the game, he felt that he really didn't deserve to receive so many crucial resources.

If he hadn't given away the points, the team would have had a huge advantage right now, right?

All Kanavi can do is perform well in the upcoming matches and try to help his team win!
After taking down the first tower, JDG dealt with the minions in the mid and bottom lanes, and then steadily secured a Water Dragon.

With both Fire and Water Dragons in hand, the Dragon Soul attribute for this game has been determined to be Wind Dragon Soul.

It's a bit of a shame about the attributes of this dragon soul, since the players on JDG's side aren't the type who benefit much from the Wind Dragon's blessing.

But something is better than nothing, and the next tactics will still revolve around the dragon.

JDG showed no interest in small-scale ganks; their focus was entirely on defense. They would engage in team fights if they had a dragon, and otherwise, they would quietly defend and farm. They could even give up the Rift Herald.

As I always say, if you can drag the game out to the later stages, you'll win!
The two games we lost before were because the pace of the game collapsed too quickly, and we didn't have a chance to drag it out to the later stages.

On the other hand, DWG's strategy was completely the opposite. The mid, jungle, and support players grouped together tightly, roaming all four lanes, seeking every possible opportunity to get kills.

At 14 minutes, they targeted Ornn again, with Camille locking onto Rakan's RW, determined to take down Ornn.

But this is when the toothpaste starts to work its magic.

Galio's ultimate ability, "Heroic Entrance," crashed to the ground, knocking all four DWG players into the air!

Immediately afterwards, Ornn and Galio used their E abilities to escape, managing to get away with their lives!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mingjing led his troops to push forward in the mid lane and destroyed DWG's mid lane tower in one fell swoop!
On the other side, DWG quickly retaliated, securing the second Rift Herald and then grouping up in the mid lane with five players, pushing down JDG's first and second mid lane towers in one fell swoop!
The bounty from the two defensive towers allowed DWG to regain the economic lead.

On the other hand, JDG also completed the exchange, acquiring the third Wind Dragon!

In the lounge, Redmi looked at the exchange in front of him and nodded.

Trading two mid-lane towers for a third dragon is definitely a loss. But for JDG, the fact that a direct team fight didn't happen is a good thing!
As long as we can slow down the pace, this level of loss is perfectly acceptable!

Up until now, neither side has created a significant gap, with the economic difference remaining within 1,000. JDG holds three dragons, but DWG's Kindred has four stacks of passive, so the two sides are still evenly matched.

The suspense remains.

"Now it's a test of discipline," Miller said seriously. "Neither side can afford to make a mistake! One wrong move and we could lose everything!"

In the blink of an eye, 22 minutes had passed, and the fourth dragon spawned.

JDG is about to acquire the Dragon Soul, and their carries already have two core items, so they definitely have the ability to engage in team fights. Of course, there's no reason for them to give up this dragon.

DWG, of course, wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to fight. Both teams grouped up together and started looking for opportunities around the dragon pit.

As Mingjing and Kanavi pulled Xiaolong out, he said, "Brother Zuo, go find Qinggangying, don't let them get around! Then Brother Gao, protect me!"

"I know!" Green Hair was of course aware of it too. The woman took the initiative to go around to the back of the Dragon Pit and found Blue Steel Shadow trying to flank them.

The dragon's health was decreasing under the continuous auto-attacks of Jinx and Graves, and DWG was getting closer and closer. A team fight was obviously about to break out!

As the dragon's health dropped below half, Zoom's Ornn decisively used his ultimate to summon a sheep, targeting Kindred!

On the other side, DWG was not afraid at all. Canyon, relying on his ultimate, actually advanced instead of retreating and hit the dragon with a basic attack!
But at the same time, Nuguri, who was behind the Dragon Pit, also made a decisive move!
One Sun Maiden alone cannot contain the agile Camille!
Camille flashed over the wall and down to the Dragon Pit, used her E skill to hook onto the narrow wall at the entrance of the Dragon Pit, and then launched a flying kick at Mingjing's Jinx!

DWG's team fight coordination is also absolutely top-notch. At the same time, Beryl's Rakan also flashed forward.

With a quick R-Flash-W combo, he instantly teleported to Jinx's feet and charmed her.

With Rakan in front and Camille behind, two strong engage champions came out together, instantly forcing Mingjing into a dead end!

But it was at this moment that Ming Jing began his operation.

In a state of flow, he clearly saw Luo's initiation move.

Almost the instant Luo charged over, the purifying light shone on Jinx.

Rakan's allure had no effect on Jinx!

However, after breaking free from the charm, Jinx didn't use Flash. Instead, as before, she chose the shortest route and walked out of the [Grand Entrance] area. With the double movement speed from Berserker's Greaves and Runaan's Hurricane, walking out of Rakan's W is not difficult for Mingjing at all. He has even done it during the laning phase without boots.

In fact, if he wanted to use his dodge ability, he wouldn't have been caught by Luo Kai at all; he would have dodged away long ago.

DWG's offensive was fierce; one Rakan alone was not enough to take away his Flash.

Jinx narrowly escaped Rakan's grand entrance, but Mingjing's test had only just begun.

Camille launched a flying kick from the side, but Toothpaste was prepared. His semi-tanky Galio became a wall and blocked the kick!
But Nuguri kept making plays, Camille kicked Galio with her Q to give him a speed boost, and then used her ultimate to launch herself into the air and lock onto Jinx!
At the same time, Syndra also made her move, sending a Dark Orb towards Jinx!

It's now!

Mingjing seized the opportunity and decisively used Flash to switch positions, dodging Syndra's deadly push!
Moreover, because Camille's Flash was still floating above his head, he didn't even dodge backwards, as dodging backwards would have meant certain death; he used Flash forwards!

At this moment, it wasn't just Mingjing who was being targeted; Canyon's Kindred was also under heavy fire.

With Xiaolong at low health, Graves used a smoke grenade followed by Ornn's second ultimate, knocking Kindred into the air!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kanavi's Graves first used Smite to secure the Wind Dragon, and then decisively rushed in, using A followed by an empty shot, EQ, and then a wall shot, almost instantly killing Kindred!

Unfortunately, the burst damage was still lacking, and the control was insufficient, causing Kindred to unleash her ultimate [Sheep's Breath] with almost no health.

But his ultimate move not only saved himself, but also Ming Jing.

Mingjing had anticipated that Kindred would definitely be able to unleash her ultimate ability, and Jinx, along with Camille and Syndra's ultimate abilities, charged into the range of Kindred's ultimate!

At this moment, Syndra's five Dark Orbs, along with Camille's True Damage Kick, struck Jinx. This should have been a burst of damage that would have instantly killed Jinx, but thanks to Kindred's ultimate, she was spared a chance to survive!
Seeing this, Ming Jing grinned slightly.

You're finished.

At this moment, Kindred applied her E skill to him, but Mingjing ignored it.

He stepped on the edge of Kindred's ultimate, and Jinx, whose [Guilty Pleasure] was triggered by the death of the dragon, cut out the fish skeleton and fired one shot after another at everyone in front of her!

With the endless buffs of the hurricane, Jinx, standing in the middle of the formation, indiscriminately AOEs everyone, each shot dealing tons of damage!

In just a few seconds, Jinx rapidly reduced the health of several DWG players to the point where they needed Kindred's ultimate to survive!
But at this moment, Galio, centered on Jinx, also unleashed his ultimate, engulfing all of DWG's players within its range!

Kindred's ultimate ended quickly, but Canyon was prepared. He landed a basic attack on Mingjing, triggering his E skill to execute him the instant the ultimate ended.

Kindred's head glowed again, indicating that Kindred had obtained the mark of the sixth layer.

But the next instant, Galio's ultimate landed with a bang, knocking up everyone within Kindred's ultimate range!
DWG's lineup wasn't particularly tanky to begin with, and they couldn't even find a true frontliner. Mingjing's crazy output before his death left all of DWG's players with low health!

In addition, Galio's ultimate ability is perfectly controlled.

Everyone at JDG has paved the perfect stage for Graves to reap the rewards.

Next up is Kanavi's performance!
Graves first took down Kindred with a basic attack, then turned around and used his ultimate to blast Syndra to death!
Two key carry champions were taken down by Graves in a single move!
"Double kill!"

"Double kill!" Miller's voice boomed from the commentary booth, "Kanavi is about to reap the rewards!"

It's not just Kanavi.

Actually, toothpastes are all incredibly effective.

Galio and Graves activated the Wind Dragon Soul's speed boost, and the two of them ran incredibly fast, relentlessly attacking Camille!
Galio's W taunt, followed by two shots from Graves, happily sent Camille to her death!

"Triple kill!"

Meanwhile, Green Hair and Zoom targeted EZ. Ghost tried everything he could, but he couldn't outrun Leona who had triggered the Wind Dragon Soul.

Leona chased after Ezreal, using crowd control on him, while Ornn slowly followed up, using QW followed by an auto-attack to apply Brittle, then using E to knock him up, and finally burning Ezreal to death with Sunfire Cape!

Of DWG's formidable five-man squad, only Rakan survived.

Below the stage, the cheers of countless spectators were deafening, and the commentator's voice was incredibly excited!
"One for four! Can they take Baron?" On the commentary booth, Wawa shouted, "JD.com's four players are also moving towards the top river!"

"No, no, no, we can't take down Baron!" My cousin shook his head repeatedly as he looked at the respawn time and Baron's health from a god-like perspective. "There's not enough time, we can only push the towers!"

Seeing that Kanavi had traded one for four, his first thought was definitely Baron Nashor.

But Ming Jing stopped him.

"Don't go for Baron, it's too late!" Mingjing said decisively, "Just push the tower!"

Mingjing had a very clear understanding of the damage he was causing.

Kanavi opted for a Black Cleaver warrior build this game, which made him relatively slow at taking down Baron Nashor. Besides, champions like Ornn and Galio are even more difficult to deal with Baron Nashor.

The respawn time of just over 20 minutes is not long these days. The enemy mid and top laners both have tanks, and the support is alive. If we force Baron Nashor, the enemy will use two Teleports to keep people in place, which will definitely lead to a big problem!

Taking down the top lane tower is the right choice.

Of course, taking down one tower is enough.

With one exchange for four towers and one tower, JDG's economic lead reached 3000!

Seeing the excellent situation before them, countless viewers felt only joy.

The director was very sensible at this point and immediately brought up the replay and team fight damage statistics.

Without a doubt, Graves's final kill made him the most outstanding player, but Jinx's performance should not be overlooked either.

Facing the charge from all of DWG, Jinx remained calm and used Kindred's ultimate to protect herself, contributing a whopping 6886 damage output!
Inside the live stream, a massive barrage of comments flooded in.

【6886! 】

Who says watching porn can't lead to sexual gratification? Speak up!

[Misunderstanding cleared up!]

[Shot! Shark bee!]

[Stop overhyping! This wasn't just because Xiaofei played well, was it? 7,000 damage output? Who can even understand that?]

【All good, all good! We won by watching the video and competing on punishment, both were crucial!】

LPL viewers were all overjoyed, this crucial dragon soul team fight made them feel that the championship was within reach!
The camera then cuts back to the live match, showing that the JDG players have finished their rest and are now grouping up to push the second mid-lane tower.

With all the gear in place, an economic lead, and the Wind Dragon Soul in hand, it's time to push forward!

However, it can be noticed that on DWG's side, there are only Syndra, Ezreal, and Rakan defending the tower.

Even Luo was caught by Leona's E due to a positioning mistake. Fortunately, he activated his ultimate in time to trigger aftershock, and used EW to create space, which allowed him to escape with low health.

Seeing this, countless supporters became even more excited.

Even though Luo was badly injured, he could still push!
At this moment, the camera abruptly cuts to the upper river channel, Dalongkeng.

The sight they witnessed caused the three commentators in the LPL commentary booth to have their hearts and lungs stop.

DWG's top and jungle duo unleashed a barrage of attacks on Baron Nashor in the darkness!

Baron Nashor has a mechanism that halves the damage dealt to Baron Nashor by targets tanking it, but this restriction does not apply to true damage. Therefore, even if Camille is tanking Baron Nashor, her true damage kicks will still deal plenty of damage to Baron Nashor!

With a marksman jungler Kindred behind them, the two of them could take down the dragon at an incredibly fast speed!

"Something's wrong! This decision by DWG!" Wawa's voice was full of panic. "Baron is going to be lost! Can you check JD Gaming's situation?!"

"It seems like nobody's noticing! They're still pushing the second mid tower!" Miller's voice was filled with panic. "Can you take a look? Kanavi! Little Fei!"

Seeing that the enemy Ueno had not yet appeared, Mingjing finally realized that something was wrong.

He immediately used a [Foresight Transformation] skill on the Dragon Pit, but the sight that greeted him made his heart sink.

Camille and Kindred were both low on health, but Baron Nashor had also been reduced to low health!

"Baron! Baron!" Ming Jing immediately pinged the signal, then unleashed his ultimate ability towards the Baron pit!
But the situation was critical. Mingjing didn't have time to escape DWG's vision. DWG's mid laner saw Jinx's ultimate and immediately gave the information through voice chat. Canyon didn't hesitate either, and Kindred decisively used her newly recharged ultimate, "Lamb's Breath"!
Jinx's rocket shot was meant to kill Baron Nashor, but thanks to Kindred's ultimate, Baron Nashor survived!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Canyon used Kindred to apply the E [Dreadful Intent] to Baron Nashor, followed by two auto-attacks. The moment the ultimate ended, Kindred used an auto-attack followed by Smite to instantly kill Baron Nashor!

"The Red Legion killed Baron Nash!"

The news of Baron's death resounded throughout the entire stadium!
"Wow."

"Wow!"

"Wow"

The three commentators in the LPL commentary booth sighed simultaneously. Miller's voice was filled with distress, "DWG's decision was too bold! Even from our 'God's perspective,' we didn't expect them to steal Baron!"

"It's all because of that Luo!" Wawa gritted her teeth. "Beryl's Luo was deliberately creating an opening! He drew all of JD.com's attention to the front!"

"But it's okay, we still have a great chance!" My cousin was also feeling a bit suppressed, but he still clenched his fist. "The Baron buff only lasts a short time and won't affect the Elder Dragon! The Elder Dragon fight will decide the outcome!"

"Yes, hold on, JD.com, don't panic!" Miller clasped his hands together. "Let's drag the Baron buff over first!"

At this moment, Mingjing was also speaking up to reassure the JDG team from the player bench.

"Don't rush, defend the tower first." Ming Jing's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was unusually calm.

It has to be said that DWG is an extremely difficult opponent. They not only possess unparalleled individual skills, but also have boundless imagination, making their various decisions impossible to defend against!
But so what? At best, it only brings the situation to a draw.

DWG has always been a follower.

Whether it's the overall BO5 series or the course of this game, DWG has consistently been the one chasing after the opponent despite being at a disadvantage.

However, in the next Elder Dragon fight, Mingjing will not give DWG another chance to catch up.

"If I hold out until the Ancient Dragon raid, I'll have three pieces of gear and I can win."

In the following period, DWG even launched a counter-push thanks to the Baron buff.

Although they didn't have a significant lead, which made their progress quite slow, they still managed to close the economic gap between the two sides.

The time came to 27 minutes.

The Elder Dragon has entered a 30-second respawn countdown.

Mingjing took the last ranged unit and returned to the city to buy his third piece of equipment, the Rapid Fire Cannon.

With Ornn's support, he now possesses an enhanced version of Infinity Edge and two attack speed items, Hurricane Cannon, making his damage output absolutely explosive.

And that wasn't enough. He chose to buy another stopwatch to supplement his survivability and damage output, betting everything on this final team fight.

With the birth of the Ancient Dragon on the battlefield, the two teams reunited in the lower river, bringing the tension of the match to its peak.

Countless viewers were so overwhelmed by the situation that they could hardly breathe, and some even wished they could take a quick-acting heart medicine!
How much pressure do the players on the field have to endure?
Zoom wiped the sweat from his palms with a hand warmer, and then he heard Ming Jing's calm voice: "Get the dragon first. As long as we can get the Ancient Dragon, we'll win!"

“But it’s not easy to take.” Kanavi’s voice trembled slightly. “The enemy Kindred can use their ultimate to protect the dragon, and their kill threshold is higher than mine.”

"No, calm down," Ming Jing said calmly. "It's still early, and the ancient dragon only has 10,000 HP."

Upon hearing this, Kanavi suddenly realized what was going on.

Kindred's ultimate ability will reduce the target's minimum health to 10%, which is 1000 health for the Elder Dragon. Even if the level 2 ultimate ability can heal 300 health, it is only 1300 health.

Kanavi is currently level 15 with 850 Smite damage, and also possesses the ability to take down dragons with A-rank Smite.

In other words, if Kindred loses the dragon, then the two junglers are competing at the same level.

“When the Ancient Dragon has 4,000 HP, I will use my ultimate skill to help you,” Ming Jing said slowly. “The rest is up to you to decide.”

Kanavi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and his fingers began to tremble slightly, but he nodded emphatically.

At this moment, the DWG team, who had taken the initiative, had already occupied the dragon pit and woke up the Elder Dragon that had just landed.

JDG didn't dare to delay, pushing the mid-lane minion wave across the river and then slowly moving towards the dragon pit.

DWG spread out and tried to flank their AD carry.

However, JDG's defense was perfect, with Greenmao and Zoom splitting up in the front line to prevent DWG from flanking and attacking the back line.

After probing back and forth for a long time, neither side could find a suitable opportunity to engage. As the Elder Dragon's health decreased, quickly dropping below 5000, both sides tacitly changed their strategies and focused their attention on the Elder Dragon.

"Here it comes, 4500 HP! Kanavi is pushing forward under the protection of the mid and top laners! A battle is about to begin!"

"Four thousand HP, the Duke called his ultimate early! But Syndra stunned him, preventing him from unleashing the second part of his ultimate!"

"Three thousand health! He's about to be killed!"

Just then, a rocket shot straight from behind, and Kanavi simultaneously used his E skill to move forward, landing a W [Smoke Bomb] on Kindred's head.

With the combined kill from Jinx and the jungler, the two of them were more than enough to instantly kill the Elder Dragon with 3,000 health!

Canyon was startled by Jinx's rocket, and more importantly, he was hit in the face by a smoke bomb and couldn't see the Elder Dragon at all!

Canyon didn't dare to gamble and decisively used his ultimate ability, "Sheep's Breath," to save the Elder Dragon!

Boom!

Jinx's ultimate hit Kindred directly, creating an AOE effect, but because of Kindred's ultimate, the Elder Dragon's health was locked at 1031 points.

In that instant, Beryl's Rakan made a decisive move, using an RW to rush towards Graves, hoping to kill him outside the circle!
But it was at that moment that Kanavi's eyes widened, and everything in front of him seemed to slow down dramatically.

He clearly saw Syndra's push from the far end, and Rakan activating his ultimate.

His thinking had never been so clear.

A golden light flashed, and Kanavi decisively used Flash, flashing directly into Kindred's ultimate skill's area of ​​effect!
Syndra's push and Lo's lift both missed!
Upon seeing this, Mingjing immediately shouted, "Everyone, push forward! Don't worry about me!"

The final moment has arrived, and JDG's three frontliners dare not relax. Galio, Ornn, and Leona all entered the fray, using their respective crowd control abilities to create chaos in the team fight and create space for their jungler to fight with Smite!
Canyon had already stacked his E on the Elder Dragon early on, and was just one auto-attack away from finishing it off.

Kanavi timed it perfectly, casting Q a turn early. He's an excellent Kindred player, and he knew perfectly well that the moment Q returned fire was the moment [Lamb's Breath] ended.

He knew he would win.

1.
A brilliant burst of green light!

Kindred's Lamb's Breath of Life ends, granting 300 healing points to all targets within the circle.

Both junglers simultaneously used basic attacks on the dragon and activated Smite!

But only one ray of punitive light fell!

The ancient dragon, upon receiving this divine power, had its health bar instantly emptied and turned to ashes!

"The Blue Legion has captured the Ancient Dragon!"

"We got it!!!" Miller's voice in the LPL commentary booth had never been so joyful. "Kanavi!"

The power of the ancient dragon was bestowed upon the five JDG players, while the DWG players felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, but they continued to make plays.

At such a moment, there is no other option but to fight to the death!
Kindred's [Dance of Arrows] rolls and spreads out. With seven stacks of her passive, Kindred is the absolute main force on the field. With three items and two critical hits, Graves is immediately brought to low health!

Kanavi wanted to use his E to trade with Kindred, but Canyon didn't give him any chance and killed him with a single auto-attack!

Kanavi looked at the black and white screen and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

I tried my best.

But, it's enough.

At the same time, DWG's Syndra and Ezreal, their two carries, were also contributing their damage, constantly putting pressure on the health of JDG's three frontliners!
On the side of the river, Camille used her E skill, Hookshot, to hook onto the wall and head straight for Jinx!

JDG's attempt to secure the dragon resulted in a relatively scattered lineup, and they ended up taking a lot of damage for nothing!
We can still win this round as long as we kill Jinx!
But in Mingjing's flow state, none of this could be hidden.

Ming Jing had already captured the movement the moment Qing Gangying's grappling hook extended toward the wall.

Why should Camille, a mere Camille, be able to cut me?
Mingjing immediately set up traps at his feet and then continued attacking as usual!

Jinx with the three-piece set is activating [Sinful Pleasure], dealing damage that is a whole level ahead of everyone else!

Camille launched a flying kick while hanging on the wall. Although she hit Jinx and stunned her, she also stepped on Jinx's E [Chewing Fire Grenade] and was immobilized in place!

A purifying light shone on Jinx, who decisively switched to machine gun form, maintaining an incredibly fast attack speed of 2.5, and quickly kited to create distance!

With the enhanced Infinity Edge, Jinx was bound to deal damage, and Camille's health bar plummeted.

Nuguri currently has a three-piece set of Ravenous Death's Dance, which isn't bad, but his tankiness isn't particularly high either.

Jinx cut out a fishbone and fired a shot, bringing his health down to below 25%!

A dragon's roar resounded, and the ancient dragon behind Jinx flapped its wings, unleashing a beam that instantly killed Camille!

Guilty pleasure!
Jinx's passive is refreshed, and she takes off again!

At this moment, JDG's teammates were also not doing well. Yagao, who had the lowest tankiness, had been killed by the firepower of the two marksmen, EZ and Kindred. Lvmao's health was also very low. Only Zoom's Ornn was still holding on.

Mingjing quickly followed up and unleashed a barrage of artillery fire!

EZ's [Mystic Shot] came at him, but Mingjing used his high movement speed to dodge it flexibly. After two shots, he finished off the support Rakan with the help of the Elder Dragon.

"Double kill!"

Kindred [Dance of Arrows] rolled up, still wanting to use the cannon and the seven-stack passive to attack Mingjing.

However, Mingjing had perfect control over the distance. Kindred's range at seven stacks of passive was 600 yards, which was still a long way from his cannon form's 725 yards.

Mingjing used his high movement speed to retreat directly, always staying outside Kindred's attack range. He then turned around and used his W to slow Kindred down. Taking advantage of the slow effect, he fired two shots to force Kindred to use Flash!

Syndra unleashed countless dark orbs with her [Weaklings Begone] skill, shooting them straight at Mingjing.

Ming Jing reacted quickly, using Flash to switch positions and dodge the magic orb!
At this moment, the low-health green-haired guy stunned Syndra with a Q, making his final contribution, before being shot dead by Kindred's arrow.

Ming Jing unleashed two merciless cannon shots, and the Ancient Dragon flapped its wings once more, claiming the head of the Syndra!

"Triple kill!"

"2v2! 2v2!" Miller shouted hoarsely from the commentary booth, "Jinx is still at full health, they're going to win!"

The shadow of defeat loomed over Ghost and Canyon. They knew they had no chance of killing Jinx, and could only fight and retreat.

EZQ hit Ornn, refreshing the cooldown of his E skill, and he used his mobility to create distance.

Kindred's final basic attack triggered her E skill to execute Ornn, killing him on the spot!

But don't forget, he didn't flash either.

Jinx quickly caught up, and once again used Swift Step and Cannon. She fired a shot that triggered Swift Boost, rushed up, and fired another shot!
The dragon's roar rang out once more, and Kindred lay dead on the spot!

"Quadra kill!"

Ghost watched as all his teammates were killed, his heart pounding in his chest. The sight of Jinx running up from behind sent chills down his spine, and fear gripped his entire body!

He recklessly used WQ to retaliate, but Jinx remained calm and dodged all of his abilities!
Jinx fired a shot at him, and he quickly flashed into his own jungle, but was immediately slowed down by a W!
Taking advantage of the slowdown, Jinx strode forward and closed the distance again, unleashing two basic attacks!
The ancient dragon spreads its wings once more!
"Penta kill!"

The sound of a pentakill echoed throughout the arena! The audience immediately erupted in celebration!
"Pentakill! Pentakill! Ancient Dragon's Might!" In the commentary booth, Wawa shouted, clutching his head, "Brother Xiaofei killed everyone on the other side!"

Miller then shouted, "50-second respawn time, can we finish them off in one go?"

In JDG's voice chat, several teammates started shouting, "Mid lane, mid lane, laning!"

“I know.” Even at this moment, Mingjing’s voice remained calm.

DWG's mid lane doesn't have a second turret, and Mingjing pushed the mid lane before the Elder Dragon fight.

At the time, I thought that even if we lost the Elder Dragon fight, we could still push through the middle lane and not necessarily lose the game.

But at this moment, the central route that had been pushed forward became the key factor in determining the outcome!

The mid lane was pushed up to the high ground, and Jinx with three items switched to the machine gun and quickly kited, almost flattening the mid lane high ground in one go!
The passive skill [Guilty Pleasure] has been triggered again!
At this moment, the opponent has 30 seconds left to respawn.

enough!

Ming Jing took a deep breath and, relying on the attack speed that overflowed after triggering his passive, instantly killed the high ground crystal once again.

A wave of minions slowly spawned, but Ming Jing had already positioned himself outside the inhibitor turret and used three basic attacks in cannon form to quickly clear the wave of minions.

"Enough, enough!" Miller's forehead veins bulged, and he jumped three feet high in the commentary box. "One wave! We won!"

From the team fight until now, the cheers from the audience have never stopped, and they have grown louder as DWG's inhibitor turrets have fallen!
With ten seconds left in the respawn countdown, DWG only has their final base crystal left.

The five DWG players sat slumped in their gaming chairs, their faces ashen.

Lost.

They gave it their all in this match.

But still lost.

Jinx finally lit up the JDG team logo above her head, unleashed a burst of machine gun fire, and blasted the enemy base into countless fragments!

JDG team won the 2020 World Championship and became the year-end champion!
