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

Chapter 324 Will the Flying God be able to do it?

In the blink of an eye, it was 19 minutes, time for the dragon team fight.

The dragon itself isn't that important, since it's only the third dragon. With each side holding one dragon, it won't make any significant difference who gets it.

The EDG players weren't in too much of a rush and continued to play methodically, focusing on clearing lanes in the mid and bot lanes before moving towards the bottom river.

But for the Top Esports team, this team fight already had a do-or-die feel to it.

With their disadvantage widening, they had no choice but to pin their hopes on the upcoming team fights.

The only acceptable point in this game is that Viper's development is still average. After all, EDG concentrated all the resources on Zed, and Viper didn't get much. His economy was even worse than JackeyLove's.

As long as we can save the carry from Zed, we might still have a chance to win the team fight!
369's Crocodile recalled to base to update his equipment, and then immediately teleported to the support's previously placed ward to flank and used his ultimate to flank and enter the fray!
However, given the huge economic disparity, there's really not much that the crocodile can do when flanking. Before 369 could even bite the AD, he was knocked away by Flandre's Sejuani's Q, and then he was polymorphed and couldn't move!
At this moment, all eyes were on 369.

Ming Jing likes to take advantage of such opportunities to cause trouble. Instead of joining the focus fire on the crocodile, he turned around, pressed W repeatedly, and charged straight into the TES backline!

A followed by E [Demon Slash], continuously slashing at Sivir's body.

Instead of using ranged attacks like W and E to harass, Ming Jing chose to get close to the enemy and use his skills.

Firstly, he was determined to kill in this round, so he was determined to get a close-range basic attack.

Secondly, Zed's E [Ghost Slash] reduces the cooldown of his W shadow by 3 seconds for each enemy it hits. This is key to Zed's ability to maneuver effectively in team fights, so it's crucial that Zed's main body hits an enemy with his E.

With two cooldown reduction items and a blue buff, Zed's W already only has a little over ten seconds left. Now, with this E hitting both Sivir and Lena simultaneously, it instantly reduces the cooldown to just four seconds.

When they saw Zed charge into the arena, everyone on TES was stunned.

What kind of gameplay is this? You don't have a single teammate around you, and you're charging at four people?

However, it must be said that Zed's equipment was a bit too overpowered. Just this one AE attack took away nearly a third of JackeyLove's health, which made him dare not linger for a moment and quickly flashed to create distance!

Meanwhile, the left-handed Taliyah quickly delivered a WE combo.

Ming Jing was prepared and used his ultimate move to dodge the rock spike, while simultaneously closing in on Sivir.

Mark's actions were quite exaggerated. Upon seeing Zed's ultimate animation, he immediately used his own ultimate, "Honest Acquisition," on his AD carry, hoping to use it to force Zed's ultimate to land.

But how could Mingjing give the opponent such an opportunity? He kept pressing Flash during his ultimate, and Zed flashed away the moment he landed, dodging the fatal [malicious takeover].

But just as one problem was resolved, another arose. Ming Jing had barely flashed away when Wei unleashed another ultimate attack aimed at him!
Xiaotian was quite rational this time. In order to avoid Zed dodging his ultimate, he even waited for Zed to finish using his ultimate before making his move!
Trying to kill Sivir with Flash and her ultimate in front of three teammates is too difficult, almost impossible!

At this moment, Zed was locked on by Vi's ultimate, and he had neither Flash nor his ultimate. Sivir still had 70% health left, so it seemed like a dead end!

But Ming Jing remained calm, as if everything was within his calculations, and as Wei drew closer, his attention was focused to the limit.

The moment Wei touched his face, Ming Jingxian pressed E!

Zed slashed horizontally, hitting Vi right in his face, and the last two seconds of his W's cooldown were reset!

Mingjing decisively pressed R, and Zed swapped positions with his previous ultimate ability shadow, disappearing from the spot!

Wei made a 180-degree turn in mid-air and chased after Jie again.

Mingjing targeted Sivir, who had neither Flash nor R, and the instant he used R to return, he spammed WWQ.

Zed switched positions again, piercing Sivir's body with two darts in succession. Combined with a passive skill that followed, Sivir's health bar was instantly emptied!
Fortunately, Mark's attention was always on AD, and he managed to apply W just before Sivir's health bar was depleted.

Sivir enters a gray health state; she can revive on the spot as long as she participates in a kill!

But clearly, this is absolutely impossible.

The next instant, a cracking sound rang out.

Zed's ultimate skill mark was also completed, exploding on the gray-health Sivir. Combined with Zed's next basic attack, Sivir's second life was instantly wiped out, losing any possibility of resurrection.

"Double kill!"

"Legendary!"

At this moment, Vi finally rushed to Zed's side again, but because of Sivir's death, Zed triggered the Duskblade's invulnerability.

Wei's long-awaited rising dragon punch ultimately missed its target.

"Huh?! How did JackeyLove get killed so quickly?!" Miller exclaimed in disbelief in the commentary booth. "What happened?"

"Flying God single-handedly killed Sivir!" Colonel Guan's voice boomed, "Taking the enemy general's head from among ten thousand troops!?"

At this moment, Mingjing's four teammates also dismembered 369's crocodile meat. When everyone turned around, they saw that Mingjing had already been killed by the enemy AD by himself, and everyone was overjoyed.

Wow, you can kill something like that?

Several teammates didn't dare to be negligent and quickly rushed forward to protect Ming Jing, who had used up all his skills!
Mingjing's move wasn't just about killing the AD carry; he also baited out two crucial ultimate abilities from Lena and Vi.

In that team fight, there was no chance of losing.

EDG rushed in and easily scored a 4-0 exchange, with only ZuoShou's Taliyah managing to escape by climbing onto the stone wall.

Mingjing didn't bother with the fleeing Taliyah, and even abandoned Xiaolong, directly leading the team to turn towards the upper river!
After the team fight, exactly twenty minutes had passed.

The respawn time at this point is not long, and Mingjing's damage calculation is also precise. He knows that the team's output is far from enough to take down both the small dragon and the big dragon during this respawn time. Going directly to the big dragon is definitely the safest decision.

Anyway, judging from this pace, it seems like we won't be able to get the Dragon Soul this game.

"The Red Legion killed Baron Nash!"

Just as JackeyLove respawned, he heard the dragon's mournful howl echoing through the canyon.

This was immediately followed by enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

JackeyLove mechanically maneuvered Sivir to the bottom river, trying to secure the dragon to mitigate losses. The scene of the team fight just now kept replaying in his mind. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "How is this Zed so freakish?"

In front of Renata, Taliyah, and Vi, my buddy killed me?

Dude, you still have a flashlight!

Several teammates could only manage wry smiles.

I don’t understand either!
Anyway, this Zed is flying around and using all sorts of movement abilities, so even Vi's ultimate can't catch him, and Lena's resurrection doesn't work either. What can I do?
"Never mind, it's nothing." JackeyLove shook his head. "Let's play the next one. There's nothing to say about this one."

JackeyLove is quite carefree; he's already thinking about reducing the sauce.

None of his teammates had any objections to this.

There's really no chance of winning this game. Continuing would only be torturing myself. I might as well end it quickly, maintain my mindset, and start the next game.

After securing Baron Nashor, EDG recalled to base to regroup before splitting up to manage minion waves and prepare to push forward with Baron Nashor.

Taking this opportunity, the director finally switched to a replay of the previous team fight.

Because the audience was completely focused on 369's Renekton in the previous team fight, many people didn't even notice how JackeyLove died.

The director understood this, so he focused the camera directly on Zed and even slowed down the motion after Zed entered the arena.

"Instant Shadow Strike to dodge the Rock Slash, Flash to dodge the hostile takeover," Colonel Guan meticulously recounted the skill exchanges on the field, "His strategy is too clear."

"The main problem is that Zed has too many dashes." Miller looked at Vi, who was chasing Zed relentlessly, and laughed for a moment: "Even with Vi's ultimate activated, she can't catch up!" 957 also laughed: "And after killing Sivir, his ultimate also exploded, taking away Sivir's second bar of gray health. Zed essentially took away two of Sivir's lives in an instant, and Top Esports didn't even have a chance to revive!"

"This is pure economic domination! The damage output is absolutely insane!"

The live stream chat was also filled with comments flying across the screen.

[You think it's a joke to be one big item ahead of everyone else?]

[Isn't this a perfect play? He forced his three teammates to use their protective skills, but none of them worked. He dodged everything and then...]

Does this player really lack a system? How come they can pull off perfect plays every game?

Talent is the best cheat code, what's the point of a system? Even Fei Shen doesn't find those e-sports novels satisfying.

【It really is】

The camera then cuts back to the live match, where EDG, with the Baron buff, has pushed both lanes of minions onto TES's high ground.

TES, however, didn't stand on ceremony and immediately turned up the heat to reduce the sauce.

Crocodile Vi entered the fray alongside Lenata's hostile takeover, and her momentum was quite fierce.

But EDG remained calm and pulled back, letting Flandre's Old Pig take the first hit.

Immediately afterwards, the monkey JieJie entered the fray and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, turning the team battle into a complete mess.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ming Jing once again leaped into the fray!

This time, Mingjing no longer had Flash, but the opposing team also lost Flash and protective skills, allowing Mingjing to engage even more freely.

After landing the ultimate skill, use W to switch positions and dodge [Rock Thrust] and [Iron Fist Coordination], then press QE repeatedly to instantly empty JackeyLove's health bar!
"Legendary!"

The sound of "Godlike" rang out again, and Viper's Zephyr swept the scene like crazy, killing the TES players one by one as they entered the fray.

"ACE!"

The sound of a team wipe echoed throughout the stadium, and EDG pushed forward in one wave to win the first game!

Mingjing nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and gave Jie Jie a light fist bump.

Saint Gun Bro bumped fists with Ming Jing, a broad smile on his face, "Awesome, brothers, I got carried again."

"What you call 'lying down'?" Meiko laughed. "We bot lane are the ones who are truly 'lying down'."

Although Flandre didn't create any advantage for the team, he did participate in the team's early game rhythm, contributing to both ganking the crocodile and controlling the Rift Herald.

But the bottom lane is a different story.

The two bot laners were just taking hits, and they won by just sitting there!
It's really a bit frustrating.

Ming Jing chuckled upon hearing this, "No, isn't it better to win without lifting a finger?"

"It's good, but you can't just lie there all the time."

"Then let's play C next time, I'll lie down."

"OK."

The EDG team members walked backstage amidst laughter and cheers.

Before leaving, Ming Jing turned around, looked at the audience below the stage, and waved in a certain direction.

From below the stage, Song Xuan clearly felt Ming Jing's gaze, and a bright smile appeared on her face. She pressed the shutter repeatedly to record the moment Ming Jing waved.

The boss, Ed Zhu, was also present at the scene, welcoming the team members back together with the factory manager, Zeka, and others.

As always, the factory manager found his cousin, gave him a thumbs up, and then massaged his shoulders and back while he sat down on the sofa. "Great job, you played Zed perfectly this game."

"Is that even a question?" Ming Jing laughed. "The opposing team's lineup is actually quite easy to beat with Zed."

"Is it easy to beat?" Maokai listened from the side, not understanding what made it easy.

With Vi and Leona on one hand, and Sivir on the other, how can a normal Zed possibly be effective?
All I can say is that it still comes down to Mingjing.

If this Zed were picked by any other mid laner, wouldn't the coach be criticized and forced to retire?
Of course, other mid laners don't have that courage either.

The MVP of this game can only be Zed, of course.

With a score of 10-0-5, nearly half of which were solo kills, he won this game by relying on Mingjing's one solo kill after another.

"Next round, what do you say?" Maokai asked. "If nothing unexpected happens, we should still be on the red side."

"What else can we do?" Flandre slumped in his chair. "Give the Couter position to Mingjing, and let him continue carrying."

"."

The break time passed quickly, and both players took to the stage for the second time.

As expected, TES still locked in the blue side, but this time they didn't ban Zed, and largely maintained the same draft strategy as the previous game.

However, after entering the selection phase, they didn't lock onto Wei, but instead grabbed Lulu first.

Furthermore, after EDG secured Vi and Zephyr, they countered by locking in Poppy and Sivir.

Lulu + Poppy – this is the strategy TES devised during their break, attempting to counter EDG's initiation with double protection for their jungler and support.

If it had been this jungler and support in the previous game, Zed would never have been able to assassinate the AD carry like that.

This choice was somewhat unexpected by EDG, but fortunately it wasn't difficult to handle.

A lineup that prioritizes protection is bound to slow down the pace of the game.

Then let's play the late game together.

Maokai picked Lenata as a last resort, and in the second round of the draft, Maokai locked in Ornn, confirming his strategy of dragging the game into the late game.

This Ornn is truly the Achilles' heel of TES.

After all, this was the hero that TES originally wanted to pick.

There was no other way; they could only trust 369's Gnar and then lock in Ahri as their mid-lane pick, thus finalizing their lineup.

However, TES's choice of Gnar was a last-minute decision, and there was less prior planning in the draft phase.

"Sylas's out there." Miller looked at the bans. "This champion is good against Ahri and Gnar! I think we can pick him!"

"Has Fei Shen ever picked Sylas?" Colonel Guan thought for a moment but couldn't recall anything about it. "Besides, Top Esports has Poppy this game, so Sylas isn't actually that comfortable; it requires a lot of practice!"

“He definitely will!” Miller’s tone was resolute, full of confidence in Ming Jing. “If Fei Shen can pick a weird champion like Zed, how could he not pick Sylas?”

As soon as Miller finished speaking, EDG confirmed their final pick.

It was Silas!
"Farewell, cage!"
