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

Chapter 265 Phi is destroying BDD's career!
The break time passed quickly, and both teams took to the stage for the third time to begin the draft phase of the match point game.

The director's camera switched between the two sides in a loop, showing that the players on both sides were in different states during the match point game.

The members of GEN still have tense faces, clearly indicating that ten minutes of rest is not enough for them to get into top condition.

This was also reflected in the draft phase. In the final game, they were still on the blue side, but after the groundwork laid in the first two games, they didn't even know how to draft anymore. They thought about each step until the very end before making a difficult choice.

In contrast, EDG had a much easier time.

All the players had big smiles on their faces, and their drafting strategy was clear. It seemed that they were deliberately not giving GEN a chance to think, and they made every move very quickly!

In a few moves, the lineup was finally decided.

Blue side GEN: Top laner Renekton, Jungler Xin Zhao, Mid laner Orianna, Bot lane Miss Fortune and Rakan.

Red team EDG: Top laner Gnar, jungler Jarvan IV, mid laner Ryze, bot lane Aphelios and Lulu.

In this match, the offense and defense were almost reversed. EDG, who had been in control of the early game, put together a late-game lineup in the last game.

GEN, known for its stable operations, instead chose a lineup that would allow them to take the initiative in the early game.

It can only be said that, after falling behind 0-2, GEN has begun to seek a change.

Looking at the lineup in front of him, Coach Ggoong closed his notebook, feeling a strange sense of relief.

His mission in this game is over.

But the contestants' mission has only just begun.

"You all understand the situation now without me having to explain."

Coach Ggoong continued, "Next, there might only be one game, or there might be three. But no matter how many games there are, please stay focused and bring out your true potential."

"Believe in yourselves. Even if no one else believes in us, you must believe in yourselves."

"I have always believed that with your strength, you will definitely not stop here!"

Coach Ggoong's words this time came straight from the heart.

However, with the match point about to begin, these words seemed somewhat powerless.

The GEN players also kept their heads down and did not give a warm response.

Coach Ggoong didn't say much, but turned and walked to the center of the stage.

The coach also understands that in dire situations, the athletes will unleash their power without him having to say a word.

The chance to reach the semi-finals may never come again, and no one will sit idly by and watch the opportunity slip through their fingers; they will definitely clench their fists tightly.

The camera pans to GEN's players' bench, where several players can be seen with eyes filled with a death-like solemnity.

In contrast, EDG's situation is much more relaxed.

"With this lineup on the other side, they're basically giving away the game."

Maokai chuckled and closed his notebook: "Well, this should be the last one, right?"

"That's a joke." Looking at the opposing team's lineup, Flandre couldn't help but scoff. "We'll send them flying this game."

"Go, go, go!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, let's play it safe. We can easily win this game if we drag it out to the late game."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we understand."

After receiving a reassuring promise, Maokai walked confidently to the center of the stage and lightly bumped fists with the solemn-faced Ggoong.

The two people's expressions formed a stark contrast.

The camera followed both coaches back to the locker room, then surveyed the audience seats, and then switched back to the game, showing that both teams' heroes had already rushed out of the fountain.

The bloodshed in the early stages of this game was much less intense compared to previous ones.

The main difference is that EDG no longer controlled the early game in this match.

With their three core champions, Gnar, Ryze, and Aphelios, EDG focused on steady development in the early game, which allowed GEN to seize the initiative.

However, GEN was clearly lacking in early-game aggression. Clid barely farmed the jungle this game, instead focusing on ganking the top and bottom lanes, but with dismal results.

In a quick gank at three and a half minutes, GEN intended to use Renekton's crowd control to give Gnar a big push, but JieJie counter-ganked in the top lane, and the 2v2 between the top and jungle players ended without anything happening.

The gank at four and a half minutes was even worse this time. EDG's bot lane duo was prepared. Meiko faced Rakan's ultimate and used his E to slow down the Miss Fortune, preventing him from dealing damage. Then he used Polymorph on Xin Zhao.

Viper took this opportunity to escape easily, without even using a single summoner spell.

With perfect responses on both the top and bottom lanes, EDG farmed up to seven minutes without any pressure.

JieJie clearly understood who the real father was, and the prince went to the mid lane as soon as he reached level six.

BDD's Orianna is undoubtedly a weak point against champions like Jarvan IV.

Once you get the Flash out, the Clockwork will be a cash machine for the next five minutes!

But to everyone's surprise, this wasn't just a simple flash grab.

No sooner had Jie Jie squatted down in the grass on the upper riverbank than BDD, as if possessed, took two steps onto the upper riverbank.

JieJie didn't miss the opportunity; the prince used an EQ combo to poke him directly.

BDD reacted quickly, immediately pressing W to accelerate, narrowly dodging the EQ at the extreme distance.

"Oops." Jie Jie scratched his head, a little disappointed. "Just a little bit short."

With no other option, JieJie headed down from the tower, intending to return to town and replenish his supplies.

"It's okay, take your time." Ming Jing didn't mind at all. He took two steps forward and planned to take advantage of Orianna's lack of W to deal some damage.

To avoid Jarvan IV's EQ combo, Orianna is positioned slightly to the right. If she tries to move towards the tower, she will inevitably get hit by his combo.

BDD seemed to have noticed Mingjing's intentions as well. In order to avoid being hit by Ryze's attack, he took a risk and headed directly towards the upper river.

He'd rather go around in circles than lose his health.

When Ming Jing saw this scene, he was immediately filled with questions.

What does it mean to go upstream? Jie Jie hasn't gone far yet.

Could Zhao Xin be in the upper half of the map? Impossible, Zhao Xin was just seen in the lower river.

With all other possibilities ruled out, only one possibility remains.

The other side has acted up.

Is it so stressful?

"He delivered it!" Mingjing shouted immediately, forcibly calling over Jie Jie, who was preparing to return to the city for supplies!
Ryze chased after Orianna all the way!
Because Mingjing bought Tear of the Goddess and Boots on his first return to base, which is Ryze's normal build, his movement speed is slightly faster than Orianna's, who didn't have time to buy Boots in order to save up for Lost Chapter.

In addition, Mingjing's talents also include walking on water.

Mingjing was certain he could keep Orianna in place! And indeed he did. Ryze took two steps and finally brought Orianna into his skill range, landing an E on her!
But Mingjing didn't rush to follow W, because he was calculating the cooldown and knew that Jie Jie's ECD was still two or three seconds away.

BDD, seeing Ryze and Jarvan IV following closely behind, felt a deep sense of death threat and decisively used Flash over the wall, trying to escape.

But Ming Jing's mind raced, and he quickly flashed over, forcibly casting a W to imprison the target!

JieJie didn't hold back his skills either. The Prince also used Flash and his newly activated EQ combo to follow up, landing an EQ knock-up at the last second, and then using W [Golden Shield] to slow down Orianna.

In this game, JieJie even used SSG's Prince championship skin in a mischievous way. Under the [Golden Aegis], a clear SSG team logo appeared.

JieJie didn't rush to follow up with his ultimate move because he believed that the Clockwerk was already doomed.

BDD was still trying to make a move when Orianna used QWA to trigger Phase Boots and then ran away.

But Mingjing didn't give him a chance. Ryze used Q to trigger the double speed boost from his passive and Phase Boots, making him even faster. He chased Orianna down and auto-attacked her several times before finishing her off with an E-A combo, securing the kill!
"First blood!"

On the field, the GEN players suddenly felt immense pressure.

How did B get the first blood again?

And the bigger ones are yet to come.

Don't forget, JieJie didn't hand in any big moves in this round.

So just one minute later, EDG regained momentum.

As the mid-lane minions pushed into the tower, JieJie's Prince was positioned behind the tower just in time, and a tower dive came without warning!
"EDG wanted to dive mid, but GEN was prepared, and Clid was there too!"

Seeing Zhao Xin appear from the other half of the jungle, Jie Jie remained unmoved; he would still dodge.

Like Mingjing, JieJie has never been one to prioritize protecting KD; he prefers to drag the opposing team to their doom.

Whether he dies or not, this clockwork character is definitely going to die.

The prince charged forward relentlessly, unleashing his ultimate ability, Cataclysm, which trapped Orianna within its range. He then followed up with a close-range EQ combo that was guaranteed to hit, maximizing both control and damage.

Taking this opportunity, Mingjing no longer needed to use crowd control. He directly used QWQEQ to unleash full damage and sent Orianna to her death!

"However, JieJie was also caught in Orianna's ultimate move before she died, and then Xin Zhao followed up and knocked her up. There was no way she could escape, and the two sides traded one for one!"

"However, this move is definitely profitable, because BDD lost a lot of money this time!"

In the scene, a massive wave of minions is being repeatedly killed by the defensive towers, and this wave of minions can only be taken down by the arriving Zhao Xin.

At this point, it's clear that the gold difference between the two mid laners has widened to a full thousand.

In the LCK commentary booth, the "Roaring Emperor" frowned as he looked at the 2-0 Ryze.

Phi has stirred up trouble again; this is going to cause problems!

Something bad is definitely going to happen.

After Mingjing killed someone, he was still almost at full health and mana. After he pushed a wave of lanes, JieJie respawned and helped Mingjing get a blue buff.

At this moment, Orianna's ultimate ability was almost ready, and Mingjing, without Flash, had no way to show off. He honestly farmed both lane and jungle to accelerate his development.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Ming Jing finally returned to the city and used the huge sum of 2200 yuan to upgrade his equipment.

Although Ryze's Tear of the Goddess and Boots of Speed ​​slowed down his item progression, with the help of two kills, Mingjing still managed to complete the Mythic item Eternal Frost in just over ten minutes.

In contrast, the other character, who also used the Goddess Tear, has only just managed to get the Lost Chapter and is still a long way from getting the Mythic set.

Faced with a huge disparity in equipment, Ming Jing's murderous intent resurfaced.

His primary rune path was Phase Rush, and his secondary rune path was Inspiration with Biscuits and Cosmic Insight, giving him a 5% Summoner Spell cooldown reduction.

The opponent also has Inspiration as their secondary rune path, but judging from their lack of boots so far and the biscuits in their item slot, it should be boots and biscuits.

He and Clockwerk used Flash almost simultaneously, but with the help of Astral Insight, there was still a 30-second cooldown difference.

That 30-second difference was enough for Ming Jing to make his move.

At 12 minutes, Ryze casts his E [Spell Flux] on a ranged minion.

As the effect spread, the skill's special effect bounced right off Clockwork.

Ming Jing looked at his Flash, which had a five-second cooldown remaining, and already had a plan in mind.

Although it's not the ideal environment for hands-on practice right now, it's sufficient.

He decisively activated his ultimate skill, [Arcane Leap], a large teleportation spell that was about to launch, targeting the area behind Clockwerk!

BDD was startled by this sudden powerful move.

He's still at full health!
The teleportation array that blocked his retreat still forced BDD to move forward, leaving himself some room to maneuver.

But this was exactly what Ming Jing was waiting for.

Standing on the edge of his ultimate ability, he decisively used EQ to hit the minion, and used EEQ to get a speed boost. He quickly brought Orianna into the skill range, and then immediately followed up with a basic attack and WQ.

The three-stage damage triggered the phase, and Ryze accelerated again, as if launching himself, quickly closing in on Orianna's face and unleashing another EQ combo!

With the cooldown reduction from Everfrost, Ryze's max-level E skill has a cooldown of just over two seconds, making him like a magic machine gun!
Moreover, the damage boost from the Mythic item is not to be underestimated. With just this WQEQ combo, Orianna's health dropped by nearly half!
BDD was overwhelmed by the terrifying damage and could only manage a QR combo, while also trying to trigger Phase Rush to escape.

But Mingjing gave him no chance, decisively using his newly unlocked Flash to narrowly dodge the [shockwave].

BDD's expression changed when he saw that he had 30 seconds left on his Flash ability; he knew he was in big trouble.

After dodging the ultimate move, Mingjing countered with Eternal Frost, inflicting a stun effect, followed by a basic attack and an EQ combo, bringing Orianna down to near-death.

Take a couple of quick steps, then another EA, and you've secured another kill on Clockwerk!
"—Killing Spree!"

Another solo kill secured, Ryze now boasts a 3-0 record!
Amidst the cheers from the audience, the commentators from various competition zones also went wild, shouting and yelling!
The European host at the scene was the most exaggerated.

"SOLO Kill! Again! OMG!" commentator Jeff shouted, "I've lost count of how many times Phi has solo-killed BDD! This guy is a demon, he's destroying BDD's career!"

With the eloquent and engaging narration, the cheers from the audience grew even louder!
Europeans have always been good at using abstract language.

But in the current environment, it is indeed quite fitting.

Before the start of the World Championship, the four mid laners from the four Korean teams were a hot topic among viewers.

Showmaker, BDD, Faker, and Chovy each have distinct styles and strengths, showcasing the rich heritage of the LCK region.

LCK has always had a wealth of talent in the mid lane, thanks to Faker's influence.

However, as the World Championship came to an end, both Faker and Chovy had become Mingjing's defeated opponents.

BDD is the third one.

She was also the most tragic one.

Three matches, three solo kills.

This year is still BDD's contract year, so his contract fee next year probably won't be too high after this BO5.
