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

Chapter 182 Blood Demon Flowing Dharma!

"EDG Phi has killed DK Showmaker!"

The news of Lee Sin killing Galio resounded throughout the stadium, and the audience watching the scene were all filled with disbelief!
What's happening here?
Wasn't Rambo the one being focused down? Why was Galio the one who died?

Was it intentional or accidental?

That's not important. As spectators, all we need to do at this moment is cheer!
The three commentators in the LPL commentary booth were executing this action perfectly, and the cheers were getting louder and louder!

"One kick to two, taking down Galio! Xiaofei's play was perfect!"

"Besides, Rambo doesn't have much health left, he can still chase!"

After Rumble used his second Q to close in and kill Galio, Mingjing chased after him for a few steps, then slammed another [Thunder Strike] on the ground, slowing him down again!
Lee Sin is strong in this version because his E skill has a cooldown of only eight seconds, and this cooldown is further reduced after the reduction by the Combustion Gem. It's easy to cast two E skills in a fight!

After Canyon was hit by the second E, his health was almost gone. He looked at the turret that was so close yet so far away, and could only use Flash to pull away and save his life.

Ming Jing nodded in satisfaction when he saw Rambo flash.

now it's right.

Galio needs to be killed, and Rumble needs to use his Flash!
Ming Jing casually pressed T, and a Teemo-like icon lit up above his head before turning and leaving.

Showmaker stared at the gray screen, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes; his mind went completely blank.

He never expected that he would be the first to die in this wave!

Moreover, he knew that the opposing Lee Sin had been targeting him from the very beginning.

Because Lee Sin's ward-hopping kick was too fast!
It was obvious that they had been waiting for me to use my skill so they could immediately interrupt me!

The thinking is clear, the operation is smooth, and it's obvious that the person is highly skilled!

Showmaker couldn't help but chuckle wryly as he recalled the last few minutes of the game.

When he gained a health advantage over Lee Sin at the start of the game, he thought Lee Sin was nothing special.

Looking back now, it was a flaw that the other side deliberately created.

After securing First Blood, the enemy Lee Sin seemed like a completely different player.

With that kind of positioning and skill release, if you said this player was a Lee Sin pro, no one would doubt it!
At that moment, Showmaker felt something called talent crushing across his face.

DK was the first team to practice Lee Sin, and Showmaker has been practicing for half a month now but still hasn't mastered it.

But the other side seemed to be playing around, practicing whenever they wanted?

Showmaker was somewhat troubled as he looked at the opposing Lee Sin's 2-0-0 score.

How can we fight like this?

All I can say is that, thankfully, Lee Sin also has ambitions.

After securing the kill, instead of rushing to buy Mercury's Treads, he first crafted a Small Hammer, aiming for the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe.

To be honest, with DK's Akali, Rumble, and Galio top, mid, and jungle lineup, if Lee Sin were to get Mercury's Treads, the DK guys would just be scratching their heads in disbelief.

But Mingjing also had his own considerations.

If the score smoothly transitions from 0-0-0 to eight minutes, then Ming Jing will definitely be using Iron Spikes and Mercury Boots to prepare for the vanguard team, which would maximize his combat power.

But with a 2-0 start right now, what's the point of Mercury's Treads? With such a huge equipment advantage, it doesn't matter what you build. The right thing to do is just go straight for Bloodthirst and enter God of War mode!

Moreover, DK probably doesn't even have the courage to take on the vanguard raid.

that's the truth.

Eight minutes later, the vanguard spawned.

Looking at the 2-0 Lee Sin and their own Rumble without Flash, DK no longer had the courage to engage in the Vanguard team fight.

This Lee Sin could have easily kicked Rumble to death right in front of their mid and top laners!
After acquiring the Vanguard, JieJie wanted to place it in the mid lane to help MingJing develop.

This can be considered JieJie's formulaic approach, since the return rate after MingJing consumes the economy is truly frighteningly high!

But this time, Ming Jing refused.

There's no other reason than that this time the prize money was simply too good to pass up. Mingjing already had enough money to burn, so he didn't care about the small amount from the vanguard.

Using Vanguards to trade for plating economy is ultimately a poor strategy; using Vanguards to take down the first tower is the best strategy!
Nine and a half minutes later, after logging back in, Ming Jing was already brimming with bloodlust and became even more unrestrained.

At this stage, with this equipment, Lee Sin can easily take on both the enemy mid and jungle!
Even if the opponent gets solo, they might still be able to kick one of them to death and then run away!

At this point, Showmaker's Galio had completely given up and was obediently squatting under the tower waiting for the minion wave.

Ming Jing didn't bother with Galio. Lee Sin used his E and Bloodthirst to instantly kill a wave of minions, and then disappeared from the mid lane.

Seeing the Blind Monk disappear in the mid lane, everyone on both the top and bottom lanes of DK suddenly felt uneasy.

Nuguri in the top lane is relatively easy to deal with, since Akali is agile and has Flash available, making her quite difficult to kill.

But the bottom lane is different. The bottom lane is currently pushing the lane. When they saw the mid laner disappear, the two of them ran towards the first tower without looking back, abandoning the minion wave!
The scariest episode yet.

Showmaker quickly cleared the mid lane and then moved towards the bottom lane as well.

Galio's advantage is that he's not afraid of being at a disadvantage, since his ultimate is excellent for protecting and supporting!
If EDG's mid and jungle really manage to gank the bot lane without minions, who might be the one to die!
But just then, devastating news arrived.

EDG's mid and jungle players weren't targeting the side lanes at all, but rather the jungle.

Canyon's Rumble was rushing to the bottom lane when a [Sonic Wave] suddenly shot out from the darkness and hit him in the face.

Following closely behind the Heavenly Sound Wave was the Prince's EQ combo!

Even without using their ultimate abilities, after the Prince knocks the enemy into the air, he can just auto-attack a few times. Mingjing then uses Q to hit the Prince, then W to poke him up, followed by AE Bloodlust, AQA, instantly killing Rumble on the spot!

After killing the jungler, EDG's mid and jungle duo were exposed and, without any attempt to conceal their presence, brazenly headed to the bottom lane!
In the bottom lane, EDG's bot lane duo took advantage of DK's bot lane duo retreating to quickly clear the minion wave and push into the tower.

With their jungler dead, even Galio alone might not be able to save them. The DK duo dared not continue standing under the tower and could only retreat and retreat into the bushes.

Of course, Canyon's defeat was still significant.

Thanks to Rumble's desperate act of buying time, the DK duo quickly retreated and narrowly escaped EDG's encirclement, saving their lives.

Ming Jing watched the DK duo walk into the distance, but made no attempt to stop them.

If we can't kill anyone or lock down their stomachs, it saves a lot of variables, so we can just take the first tower and be done with it!
As the minion wave pushed into the tower, the four EDG players, with Prince planting his banner, launched a fierce attack on the tower.

EDG's bot lane duo was weak and received no help, while DK's bot tower was still at full health!

These five plating layers plus a Blood Tower bounty are far more valuable than two kills!
First, they manually pushed down three layers, and then used the Vanguard to knock down the remaining two layers. The whole process took less than half a minute, and a total of nearly 1500 team gold was distributed among the four EDG players.

The economic gap between the two sides thus quickly exceeded three thousand!
Although the DK members didn't have a god-like view of the economy panel, they could still guess the general picture based on their experience.

Everyone looked at the tower, now reduced to ruins, and their expressions were not good.

In professional leagues, every thousand points of economic difference is a hurdle.

For every thousand-plus difference in economic disparity, the probability of a comeback is halved.

Even when lagging behind by 2,000 economic units, the probability of a comeback is still around 30%.

However, when you fall behind by 3,000, the probability immediately jumps to 14%.

If you lag behind by 4,000, the probability drops to 7%!
If the current economic gap is allowed to continue to widen, then they will really have no chance.

The most crucial element is still this Lee Sin.

It can only be said that Phi did not surprise them, displaying extremely strong dominance with his Lee Sin.

Despite DK avoiding fights throughout the game and losing all of their bottom lane towers, Lee Sin still managed to achieve a dominant 3-0-0 score.

Now that Lee Sin has taken another kill and the gold from the first tower, he'll definitely have Mercury's Treads by the time he leaves the base, bringing him one step closer to invincibility.

With Mercury's Treads and a Bloodthirsty Lee Sin, he might be able to take on three opponents!
"No, we have to kill him!" Canyon said fiercely in the voice chat. "Come gank him in the bot lane later. If we can get the Lee Sin bounty, we have a chance to win!"

Beryl, the assistant, nodded at this moment, his expression serious.

At this moment, the Lee Sin's bounty has reached a terrifying 700 gold. If this gold can be given to the carry, it can immediately make up for a huge loss!

Moreover, they were confident they could catch him!
DK has done in-depth research on EDG, or rather, they have done research on Mingjing.

They knew that Phi's playstyle had subtly changed since entering MSI. In the mid-game, Phi would usually take the initiative to farm dangerous lanes to create space for his teammates to farm.

This approach is completely different from the previous carry-centric playstyle; it's probably a habit learned from RNG's Xiaohu player.

Now, DK can use this lane-switching decision to predict Lee Sin's actions.

If nothing unexpected happens, after Lee Sin recalls to base to replenish his supplies, he will most likely rotate to the bottom lane!

What they had to do was anticipate the lane switch and ambush in the bottom lane in advance! And that's exactly what they did.

On the surface, DK was still following the mid and bot lane swap as usual, with Ghost's Tristana going to defend the mid lane tower, while Showmaker went to the bot lane to farm.

But secretly, Beryl's Riel and Canyon's Rumble had already joined forces and gone to the bottom lane to ambush.

EDG's lane-switching decision was indeed as DK expected. When Showmaker pushed the bottom lane into the bottom tier 1 tower, a Lee Sin appeared under the tower as expected, waiting for the tower kill.

Without hesitation, Showmaker pinged the signal and Galio charged straight into the tower!

On the other side, Ming Jing noticed Galio's movements and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He realized that he had probably been ambushed.

But the question now is, how many people are on the other side in total?
Two? Three? Four?

If four of them come, it might be a bit difficult to handle.

Mingjing quickly glanced at the minimap and saw that Akali and Tristana were currently in the top and mid lanes.

Upon seeing this, Ming Jing immediately smiled.

No, with just three people, you think you can get past me?
dream!

Rumble and Reil, the jungler and support duo, quickly appeared behind Mingjing's tower, blocking Mingjing's retreat.

The camera then switched to the bottom lane, and the three commentators in the LPL commentary booth were immediately taken aback by what they saw.

"Hey, bot lane!" Wawa exclaimed again, "DK's decision-making was too fast! Did they predict EDG's lane rotation?"

Miller's tone also carried a hint of anxiety: "Three against one! Can Xiao Fei handle it?"

At the same time, the three commentators in the LCK commentary booth, who had been sighing just a few seconds ago, immediately started screaming again when they saw this scene!
"Nice, DK! A perfect opportunity!"

"Three against one, they should be able to kill the Lee Sin, right? That's a 700-gold kill!"

"We can definitely kill them! How could three people not be able to kill one of them!"

In the scene, the three members of DK have slowly surrounded the Lee Sin.

Beryl's Riel applies her E skill to Rumble, then presses W to flip onto her horse.

After mounting her horse, Riel's next basic attack will include a short dash that knocks the enemy behind her, making it a very reliable single-target control move!

Ming Jing watched as Rui'er's spear gleamed with a cold light, but he remained calm, first applying the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt Bloodsucking effects to himself.

The next instant, Reil's spear pierced his chest, pulling him behind him.

Following closely behind was Riel's E skill's close-range stun, Galio's taunt followed by a QE combo, and Rumble's E magic resistance reduction plus QR scorching and red-temperature drill!
It has to be said that the burst damage of these three is quite solid and terrifying. Although it is all AP damage, there is the double resistance reduction of Riel and Rumble, the long-lasting control of Riel and Galio, plus Rumble's overpowered stats!
If it were a normal hero, even a tank hero like Sion or Ornn, they might not be able to withstand this combo of damage.

However, the three of them were facing a mythical version of Lee Sin with the Bloodthirster.

As we all know, there is no tank in the mythic version, because the Bloodthirsty Warrior is much tankier than a regular tank!
After Mingjing survived this attack, his health dropped to just over 10%!
Fortunately, the control chain on DK's side ended, and Mingjing finally had a chance to act.

Have you had enough of the trouble?
Taking advantage of the life-stealing effect of his Iron Shirt armor, Ming Jing decisively used his E skill followed by Bloodthirst to attack!

Thirstful Axe slashed three people, and with the lifesteal buff from Iron Skin, the two AOE attacks actually healed up a lot of health, allowing Lee Sin to regain over 30% health despite the ignited grievous wounds!

Just seeing this health regeneration made the expressions of DK's mid, jungle, and support change.

No, can't this even be killed instantly?
Beryl could no longer withstand the tower's pressure and had to leave to reconsider his options.

If one combo doesn't kill them, they'll use two. Anyway, their gank came so suddenly that EDG didn't have time to react at all!
But at that moment, Ming Jing decisively launched his counterattack.

He landed a Q on Rumble who was right in front of him, and then unleashed an R-flash attack!
In a time when League of Legends has moved beyond its primitive era, Lee Sin's R-flash is no longer considered a high-level skill, but some tricky R-flashes can still be quite impressive.

Just like when Ming Jing kicked Rambo and killed Galio.

Although he was still kicking Rambo this time, the target was still someone else.

With a flash of golden light, Lee Sin unleashed a powerful punch. With a perfect angle adjusted by Flash, Rumble was sent flying backward, accurately finding Riel who was about to leave the tower!

The two sides were not far apart to begin with, and Ming Jing's kick came suddenly, completely beyond Beryl's expectations.

Beryl had a flash, but by the time he reacted, his subordinate, Riel, had already been knocked into the sky!
The turret fired a shot at that moment, instantly reducing him to low health!

Ming Jing licked his lips, punched Galio to the side to recover energy, and then followed up with the second Q [Echo Strike]!
Rui'er, with her remaining health depleted, hadn't even stepped outside the tower yet; she was already a dead man. Ming Jing didn't bother with Rui'er, instead casting [Golden Bell Shield] on himself and punching and kicking Rambo, whose redness had just faded!
Canyon had just used up his entire skill combo, and being under EDG's tower, he didn't dare to retaliate and could only run away with his head down.

The turret fired another shot at Rie, instantly killing her!

"EDG Phi has killed DK Beryl!"

The news of Rui'er's death resounded throughout the entire arena, and Ming Jing was thus restored to health, with his health returning to over a hundred!

Ming Jing had already stacked Conqueror, and with the lifesteal from the second part of W, each punch healed him for dozens of points. Then he slammed his E on the ground, and the second part of E [Bone Crush] slowed him down again!
All you need to do is wait for one more Q, and Rumble will be dead on the spot!
Anyone who saw this would know that something was wrong.

On the LCK commentary booth, the three commentators started shouting "pizza" again, their voices filled with panic.

Galio's skill cooldowns are notoriously long. While Rumble doesn't have much of a cooldown, a Rumble without any cooldowns right now poses no threat to Lee Sin.

If this continues, Lee Sin's health might actually keep increasing!

On the top lane, Nuguri was stunned to see that it was one of his own teammates who had died first. When he switched to the bottom lane, the scene he saw made him dizzy.

Why is this Lee Sin still chasing and attacking his teammate?

Is this reasonable?

He was also an excellent Lee Sin player, and he knew that this Lee Sin could easily wipe out all his teammates!
Don't forget, they don't have a first turret in the bottom lane, so Lee Sin can chase his teammates all the way down the street!

To avoid his teammates dying, he had no choice but to teleport to the bottom lane.

The scene of three against one requiring backup is truly absurd to the extreme.

Even if the Lee Sin gets the kill, DK won't have gained anything from this fight.

As Ming Jing watched the light of TP illuminate around him, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Are you trying to use a war of attrition? Attacking one only to have another come?
Then hit!
Bloodthirsty warriors are least afraid of being subjected to a war of attrition!
He knew Rumble still had Flash, so he wasn't in a hurry to use Q. Instead, he used the slow effect of his E skill to chase Rumble and keep punching and kicking him.

When Canyon finally couldn't hold back any longer, he used Flash to create distance before landing a precise Q, followed by a second Q to kick Rumble to death.

After killing the enemy, Lee Sin even received a level-up boost, instantly reaching level 10. With the healing from Triumph, Lee Sin's health bar was more than half full!
At this moment, Akali finally teleported to the ground.

Nuguri immediately launched a powerful attack at Mingjing after landing.

But Mingjing remained calm and composed. He first invested the skill points he had just gained from the upgrade into W, and then applied the [Golden Bell Shield] to himself.

He didn't even bother with Akali jumping around beside him, but instead focused on Galio, chasing after him and sucking his life force!

Galio finally got his second skill cooldown. Galio used his E to knock Lee Sin away, then used QA to finish him off. With Akali's scythe swinging nearby, Galio managed to reduce Lee Sin's health bar back to 10%!
But the Blind Monk also got his Bloodthirster, and with one Bloodthirster slash he cut down two people, bringing his health back to 30%!

The Nuguri people were dumbfounded.

Designer, look at your design for the Bloodthirsty Battle Axe!
Lee Sin only has 2,000 health, look how much damage he took!
"Moreover, Lee Sin's damage is just too high! Even with a full Conqueror rune, Showmaker is having trouble keeping up!"

Galio, who was involved in the fight from the beginning, was hit by three "Heavenly Strike" attacks from Lee Sin, and is now being chased and punched, leaving his health in a precarious state.

Showmaker felt dizzy at that moment, and he had no good options left. He could only flash away to avoid becoming fuel for Lee Sin's triumph once again.

Mingjing could have easily gone up and let Galio finish him off.

But he didn't do that.

The ward hop will double the cooldown of W, from 6 seconds to 12 seconds, and will also remove a crucial shield.

In Mingjing's calculations, if he went up to ward, he could indeed kill Galio, but he would also be caught up and killed by Akali because he would lose the sustain from his W.

Mingjing simply cast a shield on himself, and then punched Akali!

Using W's shield to absorb some damage, then using E to slow her down, and finally landing Q to prevent Akali from entering the Twilight Shroud.

After chasing and attacking twice, WCD is ready again, so I apply the shield once more!
Throughout the entire process, Mingjing's health bar kept going up and down like sit-ups, never exceeding half health, but he never died.

Nuguri had even run out of energy by this point, and he simply couldn't do anything about this Lee Sin.

Ming Jing, on the other hand, was in the heat of battle. He landed a Bloodthirsty Slash on Akali, raising her health bar to a level that Akali had to look up to, and then punched her, sending her back to the fountain.

"Triple kill!"

The sound of a triple kill echoed throughout the entire stadium!
This means that the Lee Sin fought four opponents alone and killed three of them!

The camera then cuts to the back, where the cowardly Galio is also unable to escape. Meiko's Rakan arrives and uses his W to knock Galio into the air. Then, JieJie's Jarvan IV uses his EQ combo to kill Galio!
The DK's formidable quartet was wiped out!
