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

Chapter 159 Chaotic Storm!

"He escaped! Facing the encirclement of Udyr and Malzahar!" The commentators were stunned. "How did he escape? Did Malzahar cancel his ultimate?"

"How could that be!" Miller immediately dismissed the possibility, refusing to believe that a professional player on the field would make such a basic mistake.

But he didn't really know exactly how he ran away, because at that time he already thought Viktor was going to die for sure, and he was already thinking about whether to say something like "this was a good deal".

Who would have thought they would run away?

"Oh, I see!" Colonel Guan's tone was one of sudden realization. "He used his ultimate skill first, then took damage from the grasshopper's ultimate during its casting time, before unleashing his own ultimate skill and breaking the grasshopper's ultimate!"

With that "Oh," Miller understood.

Although their skills are lacking, as commentators they have watched a lot of matches.

The technique of negating control effects is not uncommon among professional players. For example, Ezreal can use his ultimate when he knows he can't avoid the control effects, using the long casting time of his ultimate to prolong the control duration, which is equivalent to indirectly reducing the impact of the control.

Viktor used a similar technique, but the difference was that Viktor's ultimate ability mechanism caused Malzahar's ultimate ability to be directly broken, making the effect even more remarkable!
"Then RNG will suffer a huge loss!"

The camera then cuts to the bottom lane.

EDG's main force is already unleashing a barrage of attacks on the newly spawned Fire Dragon, and securing the dragon is practically a certainty.

After EDG secured the Fire Dragon, the camera switched back to the top lane, where Wei released the Herald and smashed through EDG's second top lane turret.

"Although RNG can use the power of the two vanguards to push down the top lane second tower, the economic benefit of that second tower is really limited with Viktor escaping!"

"Although they are still the economic leaders, Xiaolong's losses are a problem they have to pay attention to!"

Only then did the director finally cut to the replay of Victor's thrilling escape.

Even though countless viewers already understand the logic behind Ming Jing's actions, they are still shocked when they watch it again.

This ultimate move is awesome!

Holy crap, is this for real? The timing is just too perfect!

Is this a lucky draw or is the player genuinely skilled? It seems like the margin for error is quite low.

[This looks like a bluff; the execution is almost like using a script.]

[Has Xiaofei's scripted actions been too few?]

At this moment, several teammates in the EDG channel were also asking Mingjing similar questions.

"Half and half."

Ming Jing laughed and said, "Under normal circumstances, if he flashes up and uses his ultimate on me at any time, it's actually hard to time it because I don't know when he'll make his move. But this time he was in a hurry to follow up with his skills, so I could actually judge when he would release them, and I had a better idea of ​​what to do."

“But it doesn’t really matter,” Ming Jing continued. “Whether I die or not, it’s all the same. We can still get the dragon, so we definitely won’t lose out.”

"Awesome! Awesome!" Saint Gun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, repeating himself like a broken record, "So awesome!"

For him, even a 1v1 against Jayce was enough to leave him drenched in sweat, and he needed his teammates to protect him in order to barely farm the lane.

But when Mingjing made his move, he not only easily suppressed Jayce, but also diverted RNG's firepower!
Doesn't this essentially bring back the role that Jayce played before?
".."

At this moment, a slight pressure was falling on the shoulders of every RNG player.

In terms of economy, they are not bad. Although the players cannot see the economy panel, they know that the team is definitely in the lead.

The main problem is that they haven't won a single dragon yet.

The first two dragons were deliberately let go by them. After all, with their hand clearly laid out, the dragons were not part of RNG's plan, so it was normal that they couldn't get them.

But the loss of the third item was purely accidental.

When the third dragon spawned, they should have taken advantage of Xiaohu's power spike to try and steal the dragon. Plus, this was the Fire Dragon Soul, so it was like the heavens were on their side.

If they manage to take down the Litang Fire Dragon Soul with four Fire Dragons, I can't even imagine how explosive this Jayce will be.

But there is still a gap between ideals and reality.

Jayce not only failed to create space for the team, but also became the one who needed to call for reinforcements.

And they still haven't succeeded in calling for reinforcements!

Are there any heroes that Malzahar and Udyr can't hold onto?
That's really weird!
Right now, they have no other options.

The dragon just spawned, which was their only chance to gank the side lane. They failed to seize this opportunity, and EDG will definitely set up a tight defense centered around Viktor. They will no longer have the chance to kill Viktor.

Right now, they can only place their hopes on the last remaining Dragon Soul Squad.

If the Dragon Soul team can win, then they still have a chance.

Fortunately, the Dragon Soul Team still has a good chance.

Regardless, they have an economic lead in this battle, and with the Dragon Soul team fight approaching, Jayce will be getting Manamune, resulting in a significant damage boost. The advantage is in our hands!

In the blink of an eye, 23 minutes had passed.

Another fire dragon slowly descended into the small dragon pit.

This dragon isn't that important to RNG, since they haven't secured a single dragon yet. For them, it's just a 5% attack power bonus.

However, EDG's failure to secure the dragon is crucial for RNG.

Because EDG already has three dragons in hand, they are only one step away from the Dragon Soul.

If Viktor gets control of the Fire Dragon Soul, they will have no chance of winning!

Therefore, they did not hesitate and immediately sent Xiaohu to the front to seize the terrain of the dragon pit.

Inside EDG's voice chat, various voices were clamoring around.

Looking at the current situation, Meiko even suggested giving the Fire Dragon to the opposing team so they could quickly farm the Baron.

However, Ming Jing rejected the proposal outright.

Viktor is a carry in team fights, but he's not particularly fast at taking down Baron Nashor. With their current items, it will be difficult for them to secure Baron Nashor before RNG arrives.

We might as well fight the dragon team to the very end!
The risks are high, but if we win, the game will be over!
After the Baron decision in the previous game, the EDG teammates had some faith in Mingjing's high-risk decision-making. They were not afraid, and Flandre's Gnar with 90 rage was in front, looking for an opportunity to initiate a team fight.

"Electric energy surges!"

Jayce fired a speed-boosting cannon at Gnar, causing Gnar's rage to surge rapidly, almost reaching its maximum.

Seeing his own anger, Flandre could only push forward headlong.

Seeing that the fully enraged Gnar was positioned further forward, with Centaur and Riel's cavalry close behind, everyone knew that a team fight was about to break out!
"Don't rush, don't rush," Ming Jing shouted repeatedly over the voice chat, "Take the dragon first!"

As he spoke, Mingjing used his E skill to splatter the grasshopper, but the two were too far apart. Cryin dodged the laser with a perfect movement, preserving his passive ability.

However, no one paid attention to this small detail, as most people focused their attention on the fire dragon.

"Fire Dragon has 3000 HP! It's about to be killed!" From the commentary booth, Colonel Guan's voice was excited. "Should both sides use Punishment first?"

Viper was making exceptionally bold moves at this moment. Relying on his Flash, R, and Gale Force, Xayah even charged to the front line, poking the dragon with feathers one by one.

As for the grasshopper's ultimate move, Viper is not afraid.

Viper believed that if Malzahar really flashed in and used his ultimate on him, they wouldn't lose the team fight.

"1500! 1500!" Viper's Chinese was not good enough to accurately convey information in the fleeting battle, so he could only say the keywords first.

Fortunately, Jie Jie reacted quickly and immediately understood what Viper meant.

At this moment, Udyr on the opposing side used Phoenix Form's Raid, reducing the Fire Dragon's health to 1575.

In that instant, without the slightest hesitation, Viper pulled back all the countless feathers he had previously gathered!

Jie Jie was also punished!
"The Blue Legion killed the Infernal Dragon!"

The news of the Fire Dragon's demise resounded throughout the arena, and a team battle between the two sides was about to erupt!
Saint Gun was prepared. The enlarged Gnar lunged forward and entered the fray, but before he could unleash his ultimate, he was hooked by Nautilus, followed by Udyr's follow-up stun.

Saint Gun's economy was already average, and at this moment he only had two Bloodthirster items. Although he had a lot of health and shields, he lacked both resistances and was somewhat overpowered. He was quickly knocked out of Bloodthirster's shield.

But at that moment, Meiko seized the opportunity, flashed in with W and R, and used E in mid-air to stun the nearby Udyr and Nautilus. Then she used W to stomp down and knock the two of them into the air!
This wave of attacks relieved Flandre from his predicament. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gnar also woke up. Flandre decisively flashed forward, wanting to engage the backline's three carries.

However, RNG's three backline members each had their own methods. Jayce and Kai'Sa simultaneously used Flash to dodge Gnar's ultimate, while Malzahar didn't even try to dodge, relying on his passive to ignore it.

Gnar's ultimate move almost missed!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jayce and Kai'Sa launched a counterattack, depleting Flandre's health bar first!
"However, Viktor and Xayah on the other side are also dealing very high damage, and RNG's jungler and support are struggling to keep up!"

Mingjing and Viper had very clear teamfight strategies. They both knew that Udyr was not a threat, and that Nautilus's control was more crucial, so they focused their firepower on Nautilus.

Mingjing used W [Gravity Field] to stun the enemy, then unleashed a combo of EQ, and Xayah also activated W and spammed auto-attacks.

Unfortunately, Mingjing held onto his ultimate and didn't use it, and Viper had just used his hook on the dragon. Neither of their carries dealt full damage, which resulted in the Titan surviving with low health despite triggering Aftershock.

Shi Senming frantically pressed R, finally managing to unleash his ultimate, [Deep Sea Impact], before dying, locking onto Xayah nearby. However, Viper remained calm, taking a few steps back to avoid other crowd control effects, and only used his ultimate, [Storm Feather Blade], to dodge the Titan's ultimate when it was close.

"Feathers flying all over the sky!"

Xayah's ultimate ability voice line echoed throughout the entire arena.

Meanwhile, RNG's three carries, after dealing with Gnar, also closed in!

"I still have a big one!" Cryin's voice was extremely urgent. "Follow me!"

As he spoke, Malzahar flashed forward, unleashing his ultimate ability aimed directly at Viktor!

At that moment, Mingjing's attention was also focused to the extreme.

He saw the grasshopper's Blink perfectly, and he even saw Jayce draw his hammer at the same time.

Even Kai'Sa has an ultimate ability.

As long as Malzahar's ultimate is held down, Jayce and Kai'Sa will rush to his face without hesitation!

Correspondingly, to prevent him from using Flash, Malzahar will definitely use his ultimate immediately!

Without almost any hesitation, Ming Jing decisively activated his ultimate skill, [Chaos Storm]!
Just as Viktor raised his right hand, Malzahar unleashed his ultimate ability, Hades' Grip, which landed directly on Viktor.

However, the skill that had already entered the channeling phase was not interrupted. [Chaos Storm] was released, interrupting Malzahar's R once again!

If interrupting the grasshopper's ultimate skill with a special move was half judgment and half luck, then...

This time, it was a sure thing thanks to accurate judgment and swift response!

From the commentary booth, Colonel Guan's voice was incredibly exaggerated: "It's cut off again!"

At this moment, everyone on RNG's side was stunned.

Is this really not a script?

But the arrow was already on the string and had to be released. Although Malzahar's ultimate was interrupted, the momentary control was still there. GALA's Kai'Sa decisively used her ultimate to fly into the fray, and Xiaohu's Jayce also flashed in with a Q!

This slow, crawling advance posed no threat to Ming Jing. He even boldly used his E skill first before pressing his Zhonya's Hourglass, easily avoiding RNG's advance!
RNG's three carries entered the fray, but Mingjing easily neutralized them. So, naturally, it was EDG's turn to counterattack!
Meiko's Ryle used her Q to pierce Kai'Sa's shield.

Meanwhile, Viper's feathers shot out like a storm, and as soon as his [Barb] was ready, he immediately pulled back all the feathers, including his ultimate move!
And that wasn't enough. The instant he pressed the barb, Viper decisively switched positions with Flash!

Driven by the Flash, countless feathers simultaneously passed through the bodies of RNG's three carries, immobilizing them all while unleashing a burst of explosive AOE damage!

Kaisa, who rushed forward, ate the most feathers, and her health was almost instantly reduced to zero!
Knowing he was outmatched, GALA turned around and used AQ on Xayah, but the next second Xayah rushed in with a basic attack and sent him flying!

Mingjing quickly woke up from his golden state. At this moment, his ultimate skill [Chaos Storm] was still chasing Malzahar and lightning. He got up and used QA on Malzahar, sending him back to the fountain!

Xiaohu's Jayce became the last remaining member of RNG, but his health was also very low. Xiaohu didn't even think about running away. Jayce simply switched to cannon mode and hit Viper with his last shot before dying, successfully dragging Viper down with him!

But the next second, the centaur kicked him, and together with a laser from Viktor, sent him flying.

"ACE!"

"Triple kill!"

Viktor's triple kill echoed throughout the arena.

"With the help of the Fire Dragon Soul, EDG achieved a resounding victory with a two-for-five exchange!" In the commentary booth, Remember's voice boomed, "Their economy has now taken the lead!"

"Wow!" Miller couldn't help but pick up his old partner's habit, "Little Fei's ultimate move seems a bit weird!"

"Yes!" Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but nod. "He interrupted Hades' Grip with Chaotic Storm once again! It seems he wasn't just bluffing; he really knows how to play!"

"5-0-3, ten layers of the Killing Ring! And the Fire Dragon Soul! This Victor is truly invincible!"

Offstage, countless spectators thronged the crowd, all incredibly excited, with cheers erupting one after another!
[Holy crap, let's fly!]

【Take it! 】

[It is recommended to thoroughly inspect Xiaofei's mouse and keyboard to see if there are any strange items inside.]

This is truly inhuman; even using the grasshopper's ultimate move couldn't stop this guy. This is the most outrageous part.

[RNG's players are about to get knocked unconscious.]

RNG is definitely a bit confused.

Especially Cryin.

He never expected that there would be someone that even a grasshopper couldn't control.

Malzahar was completely shut down by Faker back then, how could he not shut you down?
How can I play with you like this?
Seeing Viktor's record of surviving a single battle, Cryin felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He knew that this round was probably going to be lost again.

They were defeated by Phi again.

Hades Grip is effective against geniuses, but not against Phi.

The only acceptable aspect of this team fight was that Xiaohu traded kills with Viper's Xayah before dying, which prevented EDG from securing Baron Nashor after winning the team fight. They could only push down the second mid-lane tower and then return to base to replenish their supplies.

This gives them one last chance to catch their breath in a Baron fight.

But the chances of a final team fight are obviously slim.

This time, they didn't have the heroes they used to fight Miracle Team; Gnar and Riel are both on EDG's side.

"."

On the EDG player bench, the EDG players, who were incredibly close to victory, were no longer in a hurry. They now controlled the Fire Dragon Soul, had already taken the lead in kills, and held the advantage completely.

What they need to do next is to expand their advantage, wait for the carry to complete their three core items, and then end the game directly!

EDG immediately launched a 4-1 split push. With the blessing of the Fire Dragon Soul, even Flandre was able to go toe-to-toe with Jayce. Facing Jayce's pull, Flandre directly moved in to slow Jayce down, and then chased after him, throwing darts all the way!

As for the frontal assault, it was unstoppable.

At this stage, if Viktor's E skill hits, it's a third of the enemy's health. RNG simply has no ability to defend the tower, and their mid-lane high ground is directly lost!
After pushing down the mid lane, EDG then moved to the top lane and easily took down the second top lane tower!
As one defensive tower after another collapsed, EDG's advantage quickly expanded from just over a thousand to four thousand!
At 26 minutes, the EDG team returned to base to replenish their supplies.

Viper successfully made the third Dominic, and Mingjing also made the hat.

With their two carries having three items, EDG didn't want to wait any longer and forced a team fight at Baron!

RNG managed to push the super minions in the mid lane to the river, and then quickly moved towards the Baron pit.

Through the visionary modifications, it can be seen that with the blessing of the Fire Dragon Soul, EDG can take down the Baron Nashor at an extremely fast speed, and the Baron Nashor's health is reduced to only 4,000 in the blink of an eye!

Xia had accumulated countless feathers in the dragon pit, and with Centaur waiting nearby, it looked like the dragon was about to enter the kill line!
RNG members didn't hesitate, and Wei activated his Alchemy Jar and charged forward, wanting to rush in and steal the dragon!
But just then, something unusual happened in the darkness beside them!
Because RNG was at a huge disadvantage, they never pushed out the mid and top lane minions, which made it impossible for them to control vision in the top jungle.

Meiko's Riel emerged from the darkness and charged towards the group with a W!

Unfortunately, Meiko had already used Flash during the previous Dragon Soul team fight and hadn't recovered yet, which meant his E skill failed to stun Nautilus.

Ming reacted quickly, and Titan immediately hooked out, breaking off Riel's W!
But just then, someone else made a move on the other side!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Udyr attracted all of RNG's attention, Flandre's fully enraged Gnar jumped and stomped on Udyr's head, then grew larger in the air and tumbled into the center of RNG's camp!
Cryin was immediately alarmed, and Malzahar quickly used his R [Nether Grasp] to attack, but it was too late. Just as he pressed his ultimate, Gnar's ultimate had already been cast. However, Malzahar still had his passive active, so Gnar's ultimate did not hit him.

But his four teammates were in a terrible situation!
Except for the mid laner, all four RNG players were pushed against the wall at the edge of the river!
Inside the Optics Valley International Tennis Center, a deafening roar erupted, as if it would blow the roof off the venue!
In the EDG voice chat, countless people cheered. Viper's Xayah even started with a Whirlwind ultimate, directly using his ultimate to deal AOE damage!

But Xia's movements were still too slow.

Even before Xayah was using her ultimate ability, Viktor had already flashed forward!
The main reason EDG chose to initiate a team fight when everyone's Flash was still on cooldown was because Mingjing didn't use Flash at all in the previous Dragon Soul team fight.

Viktor's extra Flash will undoubtedly allow him to dominate the battlefield!
Death Ray!
Chaos Storm!
ER immediately made a move, shooting out a line of laser light that hit all four RNG players who had been pushed against the wall. Then, the ultimate skill followed by the E skill's backfire burst!

Viktor, equipped with three pieces and a large hat, unleashed three consecutive AOE attacks, causing Xiaohu's Jayce to take the full damage and die instantly!
GALA was quick to react; Kai'Sa cleansed away the stun as she was pushed against the wall and used her E to become invisible, dodging Viktor's subsequent two bursts, but it was all for naught.

Because Viktor countered with a QA, sending him flying!

In a single exchange, he instantly wiped out both DPS characters, showcasing the terrifying power of the Fire Dragon Soul Viktor!

It wasn't until this point that Xayah finally unleashed her ultimate ability, Feathers, but only Nautilus and Udyr remained in front of her.

Viper was a bit speechless, but he still used QE to pull back the feather and cast a stun on the two.

JieJie's team also unleashed a powerful attack, followed by an overwhelming crushing defeat!

"No miracles! Viktor's damage is too high!" Miller waved his arms in the commentary booth. "With both carries dead, RNG has absolutely no chance of winning the team fight!"

Saint Gun Bro did take the full brunt of Malzahar's ultimate, but even with all of RNGC's players being instantly killed, he remained calm. After Malzahar's ultimate ended, he used his W to stun him, then chased after him and kept throwing rocks at him, securing the final kill.

"ACE!"

The sound of a team wipe echoed throughout the arena, and EDG was now on the road to victory!
"Wave after wave, there are super minions in the mid lane!"

At Meiko's shout, the EDG team quickly grouped up and rotated to the mid lane. The five of them surged forward and pushed the game to a draw!
(End of this chapter)
