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

Chapter 325 was manipulated.
"Silas, he's here after all!"

"Silas, the Flying God, has never been chosen before. He's definitely worth looking forward to!"

It has to be said that it's quite strange that Ming Jing had never picked Silas before, given that Silas is a regular in competitions.

After a series of positional exchanges, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side TES: Top laner Gnar, Jungler Poppy, Mid laner Ahri, Bot lane Sivir and Lulu.

Red side EDG: Top laner Ornn, jungler Vi, mid laner Sylas, bot laner Zarya and Natasha.

"This game features a lot of Sylas on the field," Miller said with a smile, looking at both teams' lineups. "Both Gnar's ultimate and Ahri's ultimate are excellent! Even Sivir's ultimate is pretty good!"

Sivir received a minor rework mid-season. The new ultimate ability, once activated, not only extends the cooldown upon participating in kills, but also reduces the cooldown of basic abilities by 0.5 seconds with each basic attack.

This update is practically tailor-made for Sylas. In a carry-heavy environment, Sylas stealing Sivir's ultimate ability gives him an URF-like skill output.

Maokai and the factory manager looked at the lineup in front of them, closed their notebooks with satisfaction, and were still giving the players their final instructions.

"Don't rush the attack this game. We have Ornn to drag it out to the late game, but we must stay focused. The enemy team is very good at seizing opportunities, so don't give them away for nothing."

"OK, OK, we know what we're doing, watch with confidence."

The two coaching staffs exchanged fist bumps in the center of the stage. When the two returned to the locker room and sat down in their respective seats, the second round of the match had already begun.

The laning phase in this game was relatively uneventful.

The main issue is that Mingjing didn't gain any advantage in the laning phase this time.

Of course, this is normal.

Sylas actually has a tough time laning against Ahri, since Ahri's E can interrupt Sylas's chain attack.

Therefore, even Mingjing can only obediently retreat and wait for small-scale team fights, which is Sylas' absolute strength.

In fact, if the left hand hadn't been injured, this would have been the scene.

It's clearly impossible for the left hand to make two consecutive mistakes.

Ming Jing remained calm, surviving the pressure and focusing on farming and developing his strength.

While I can't achieve the reverse counter lane advantage like in the previous game, ensuring I don't fall behind in last hits is still quite simple.

that's enough.

Anyway, the offensive pressure isn't on Ming Jing.

On TES's side, Nakano and Jungler were exchanging words back and forth.

However, Xiaotian and Zuoshou are both notorious for their communication difficulties. Their voices are weak and their speaking frequency is low, making their communication efficiency quite limited.

But their goals were clear.

They are the ones in control, so it's only natural that they set the pace.

But before that, they need to beat up this Silas.

Otherwise, Sylas would definitely take advantage of their momentum to either chip away at the plating or cut their losses in the other half of the map, gaining a lot of gold.

They certainly don't want to see this.

Fortunately, they did manage to do it.

Xiaotian's Poppy seized a brief gap in EDG's vision, sneaked into EDG's top red buff area, and then flanked to gank the mid lane.

Poppy ran incredibly fast, cutting off Sylas's retreat, and used her E to send Sylas to Ahri's side. She then activated her W [Unwavering Stance], giving Sylas no chance to escape.

The left-handed fox then unleashed an E attack.

Mingjing could have easily dodged the E with Flash, but he calculated the damage accurately and determined that Poppy and Ahri's combo wouldn't kill him, so he simply chose to save the Flash.

Indeed, this is true. Although Poppy is considered a champion with high burst damage, her damage is actually quite limited if her E skill doesn't hit the wall and her W skill doesn't land a knock-up. Ahri is even less of a champion, purely for humor.

Even after the two of them finished off the entire combo, Sylas was still left with very low health.

Mingjing used his W skill to bite Poppy and heal, then used his E skill to create distance and returned to the tower with low health.

Although no kills were achieved, the TES mid and jungle players were not surprised and even nodded in satisfaction.

enough.

Their initial goal was simply to cripple Sylas.

In this way, they can proceed with their pace without any worries.

Xiao Tian didn't linger and quickly returned to his own jungle to clear out the monsters.

Once he clears out the jungle and the mid laner has finished dealing with the minion wave, the two can then head to the bottom lane to tower dive. Everything is still in the plan!
At this moment, in the commentary booth, Colonel Guan couldn't help but frown as he looked at the scene before him. "Oh dear, this is a bit uncomfortable."

Guan Daxiao didn't understand TES's next decision. He only knew that Feishen was low on health and EDG's situation was not good.

Meanwhile, on the EDG players' bench...

Mingjing, with low health, stayed under the tower, watching Poppy enter the jungle and Ahri begin pushing the lane. He then switched screens to check the top and bottom lanes and immediately understood the strategy of TES's mid and jungle.

Want to travel?
dream.

Ming Jing was not afraid at all; the lowly Sylas stepped forward to meet him.

TES's timing was indeed excellent. They are currently at a crucial point where both mid laners are at level six. Once ZuoShou pushes the lane into the tower, he will reach level six, making this roam almost a sure thing.

But Mingjing looked at his experience bar, did a quick calculation in his mind, and already had an idea.

He decided to let the minion wave push into the tower first, since he didn't have much room to maneuver at only level five.

But after the minion wave reached the tower, Mingjing used QA to last-hit three low-health minions, and then ignored the remaining minions and charged forward.

Looking at Silas's actions with his left hand, he raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

What is this going to do?
Even though Sylas is about to reach level six, you think you can keep me at full health when you're already low on health?

Without thinking twice, Zuo Shou immediately pressed W to accelerate and dashed towards Sylas.

But at that very moment, the turret also fired a shot at the minion, and Sylas was instantly upgraded to level six!
Mingjing instantly invested his skill points into his ultimate skill, and then, while using his E skill to dash forward, he used his ultimate skill to steal Ahri's [Spirit Strike].

The next instant, Sylas used his ultimate to rush in and passively slapped Ahri!

This scene startled not only Zuo Shou, but also countless viewers.

"Huh? Go straight in!" Miller was frantic. "Can we really go in like this? Fighting someone with almost no health to full health!"

Left Hand didn't think much of it. Since Sylas had already offered it up, he had no reason to refuse. He quickly cast E [Charm] on him!

If Sylas's E hits, his low health won't be able to withstand the subsequent QA combo.

But Mingjing reacted like lightning, or rather, he was prepared. The moment he was passively struck, he pressed R2, and with another dash, he narrowly dodged the deadly fiery red lips!
And taking advantage of Ahri's E-casting stun, Sylas's second E [Abduction] hits reliably, and with the subsequent passive and Q, he quickly stacks ten Conqueror stacks.

Left Hand originally wanted to save his ultimate, but in the current situation, he had no choice but to use it. He could only use his ultimate to move sideways, contributing damage while dodging the explosion of the second part of his Q. Then he used Q [Deception Orb] head-on!
Ming Jing had just recovered from the stun effect of the Q skill, and his ultimate's movement speed wasn't enough to dodge it. The only way to avoid it was to use Flash.

Fortunately, the first hit of Ahri's Q doesn't deal much damage and can't empty his health bar, so he simply chooses to take the first hit head-on and then move sideways to try to dodge the second hit of Q.

This scene filled countless viewers with increasing dread. After Sylas took that Q, his health was down to less than 100!
If someone were to eat even one Q-stage 2 pill, they'd be dead!

Watching Sylas's movements with his left hand, he seized the moment when Sylas used Q to turn back and then used his ultimate to move sideways again, causing the orb to change direction, still trying to forcefully kill Sylas!
But Ming Jing was prepared, and quickly used his final ultimate move, a diagonal movement, to forcefully dodge the skill!
But in that instant, a golden light flashed!
With his left hand on the third level, he anticipated Sylas's ultimate ability displacement, so he forcibly flashed and changed direction, forcing the second part of the Q to hit Sylas!
The next instant, another golden light appeared!
Ming Jing didn't expect the left hand to flash, but his reaction was fast enough. The moment he saw the left hand flash, he quickly pressed the dodge button and narrowly missed the returning pearl!

After the flash, Sylas was positioned directly behind the fox.

A passive strike followed by W [Kingslayer Thrust].

Since he wasn't focused on laning, Mingjing still opted for the Conqueror and W-max build. Now that Conqueror was fully stacked and provided a significant amount of AP, Sylas's health bar recovered by over 200 after just one W, putting him back out of Ahri's kill range.

In contrast, Ahri's health bar looked rather unhealthy, as she was also brought to near-death by this W attack.

This is the numerical difference between Sylas and Ahri. Even if Sylas is at low health and Ahri is at full health, Sylas will still win in close combat.

Of course, this also depends on the accuracy of the skills on both sides.

Sylas almost unleashed his full combo on Ahri, spamming her passive, while Ahri's Q and E skills barely hit their full potential, and the damage from her W and R alone was rather limited.

With all his skills gone, and facing Sylas who still had his passive ability active, the assassin had few options left but to use his final ultimate to create distance and return to the tower.

"Knight used his ultimate to escape!?" In the commentary booth, Guan Daxiao couldn't help but widen his eyes, somewhat surprised. "This close-quarters combat ended with Ahri's escape!"

"Feishen really profited from that trade!" Miller exclaimed, looking at the minimap. "The low-health Sylas and the full-health Ahri swapped Flash and ultimates! Top Esports is in serious trouble now!"

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream all laughed.

[Holy crap, let's fly!]

[This coward is really bad, he can use his ultimate to escape? Why not fight to the bitter end?]

[What kind of fight is this? He only has one ultimate left, and he expects to be killed by Sylas with just over 200 health?]

[My Li's damage is insane! One combo is about as good as Sylas's W recovery!]

[The main problem is that Flying God is too insane; how is that even possible?]

【Top Esports is doomed now, Little Esports is in trouble】

Xiaotian was almost at the bottom lane, ready to tower dive, but when he switched screens and looked at the mid lane, he was struck dumb.

Even though Xiaotian had maintained a calm demeanor throughout the match, he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on in the mid lane?"

The voice from the left hand was still muffled, but it was barely understandable: "I've been manipulated."

Xiao Tian paused for two seconds, then said, "It's okay, take your time."

With no other option, Xiaotian had to leave EDG's bottom jungle and reconsider his options.

Meanwhile, backstage at TES, coach White Crescent listened to the conversation between the mid and jungle players and couldn't help but close his eyes and rub his forehead.

What is this?

Can this situation really be resolved gradually?
In the blink of an eye, the game reached the eight-minute mark. Both sides cleared the bottom lane at the same time and rotated to the top lane, and a team fight broke out.

EDG's handling of the vanguard team fight was top-notch. Meiko's Lena didn't immediately head to the front, but instead had her four teammates hold off the enemy while she farmed a wave of minions in the mid lane and successfully reached level six.

Seeing the level 6 Lena heading towards the upper river, White Crescent's expression changed, knowing that something bad was probably about to happen.

that's the truth.

As Flandre's Ornn used his ultimate to lock down the enemy, Vi also used her ultimate to lock down the AD carry, causing a momentary disruption to TES's formation.

Seizing the opportunity, Meiko's Renata immediately used her R-flash to enter the fray, unleashing a wave of heat from her ultimate [Honest Acquisition] that swept towards the TES players!

"Meiko's ultimate move has locked down four people!" Guan Dajiao's voice was incredibly loud. "Top Esports is about to explode!"

The next second, Sylas's chains, hidden in the center of the field, stole Gnar's ultimate ability, becoming a crucial part of the burial.

Sylas landed his E skill on Gnar and entered the fight without even needing Flash. He immediately used his ultimate after landing, pushing Gnar, Poppy, and Sivir against the wall at the edge of the Baron pit.

With the perfect synergy of several key moves, the outcome of the team fight was no longer in doubt, and EDG easily achieved a resounding victory with a 5-0 exchange!
Off the court, countless Top Esports supporters were stunned.

Both sides had been developing peacefully for so long, with a kill score of 0-0 right up until the team fight.

Who would have thought that after one team fight, the score would be 0-5?

Is the difference in team fights really that significant?

"Then Top Esports is in a tough spot," Miller couldn't help but say. "They've fallen behind by more than 2,000 gold in one wave, and with the vanguard gone, the situation has deteriorated drastically!"

After that, the game seemed to be fast-forwarded.

Within ten minutes, the vanguard smashed through TES's bottom lane first turret.

Viper secured the first tower kill bounty, finally gaining a rare economic lead over JackeyLove.

Of course, this doesn't solve the problem. It's still the same issue: Zephyr has a hard time taking control of the lane from Sivir.

Fortunately, EDG has made further preparations.

At twelve minutes, Sylas, who had stolen Ahri's ultimate, and Vi launched a surprise attack on the mid lane.

Even though Sivir and Lulu have top-notch self-preservation abilities, they are helpless against these two heroes rushing in.

The two went straight into the first tower, and even managed to kill Vi first thanks to the tower's damage. Unfortunately, Vi had Lena's resurrection buff. As Sylas used his W to kill Sivir, Vi resurrected on the spot and calmly ran out of the tower.

"JackeyLove is dead, EDG has created a numerical advantage and can directly control the dragon!"

The second dragon was defeated, drastically changing the terrain of the canyon. This game is now determined to be the Fire Dragon Soul.

At seventeen minutes, the Fire Dragon spawned. EDG's mid and bot lanes controlled the lanes simultaneously, and then they grouped up in the bottom river to secure the Fire Dragon.

At 23 minutes, the Fire Dragon spawned again, and EDG, without any pressure, secured another dragon at the cost of losing the top lane tower.

EDG didn't forget their initial strategy and didn't rush to attack, focusing instead on controlling the dragons.

The one who should be anxious is the other side.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-nine minutes had passed.

Dragon Soul Team Battle.

If EDG manages to secure the Fire Dragon Soul and Ornn finishes acquiring his items, then TES will have no chance of winning.

TES finally couldn't resist and chose to join the group.

However, the outcome of this team fight was clearly not good.

This time, Mingjing directly stole Sivir's ultimate skill. Instead of entering the fray immediately, he waited for his two teammates in the top and jungle to create chaos in the team fight before entering and starting his reaping mode!
With Conqueror Sylas and Sivir's ultimate, their sustained combat power is invincible. After entering the fray, Sylas unleashed a barrage of skills and auto-attacks, spamming them like he was in Infinite Firepower!
EAWAEAQAEAWAEAQA
Almost every time a skill is used, one player from TES dies.

Sylas, using the speed boost from Sivir's ultimate, ran even faster, chasing all the way from the river to TES's bottom lane second turret, and forcefully taking down the last Lulu!

"ACE!"

The sound of the team being wiped out echoed throughout the arena, and the cheers from the audience instantly reached their peak!
"Feishin cleaned up the team fight, and EDG also took control of the Fire Dragon Soul and Baron, just one step away from victory!"
