League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 130: The Ultimate Performance of Two Centers! Two Against Five in Adversity!

The two sides continued their intense clashes. EDG, trailing 2-4 in kills, knew they couldn't afford to drag things out, so Clearlove noticeably increased the frequency of their team fights.

Their primary target, of course, is Rumble in the mid lane.

Clearly, this Rambo is the breakthrough point!

So, after reaching level six in seven minutes, the factory manager came to the mid lane again. This time, Pawn used Flash and his ultimate to petrify Doinb, followed by Graves' combo, successfully sending Doinb back to the fountain.

Doinb scratched his head, but he wasn't flustered.

It's useless against me!

Meanwhile, the rest of QG were also doing something big.

Taking advantage of Graves' presence in the mid lane, Xiangguo ganked bot lane, yelling, "Come on, let's dive!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingsong immediately pushed forward. He knew that if he used WQ directly, he might be interrupted by Thresh, so he was not flustered at all and walked towards the two people under the enemy tower.

Seeing that Alistar was about to pounce on him, Meiko had no choice but to use his E skill to block Alistar's path!

But seeing that Thresh had no E left, Liu Qingsong immediately made his move, and Alistar used a WQ combo to smash Sivir.

No matter how Sivir uses her shield, it can't stop Alistar's combo, so there's no suspense in this wave; she'll be hammered away under the tower!

Immediately after, Xiangguo's javelin followed up quickly, accurately hitting Sivir. Uzi slid in and unleashed a combo, and Nidalee pounced in for another bite, instantly melting Deft's Sivir!

The remaining Thresh was clearly no pushover either. Liu Qingsong first walked out of the turret with low health, waited for his skills to cool down, and then returned.

The low-health Alistar seemed to have no intention of surviving, and managed to knock Thresh away with another Q. Then the remaining two damage dealers used their combo again to kill Thresh under the tower. Uzi successfully secured a double kill!

After Alistar died, Uzi took over the tanking role. The fully charged turret dealt significant damage, almost one-third of the AD carry's health in a single shot. Uzi was also brought to low health when he left the turret. He didn't dare to delay and quickly recalled to base.

"So overall, this was a two-for-one trade!" Miller said in a deep voice. "But both of QG's kills were taken by their AD carry, while EDG's were taken by their support. So QG clearly came out ahead."

This gank on the bottom lane has completely disrupted the balance of the bot lane matchup. After recalling, the 3-0 Uzi immediately bought a Statikk Shiv, using his equipment advantage to close the gap in wave clear ability between Lucian and Sivir.

Immediately afterward, the bottom lane turret fell two minutes later.

"Come on, Coin, go to the bottom lane!" Uzi immediately called on his teammate who was in jail to go to the bottom lane to farm.

Doinb readily agreed and immediately farmed a wave of minions after arriving in the bottom lane.

Unfortunately, Doinb completely underestimated EDG's determination to kill him.

He had only been in the bottom lane for less than a minute when EDG's jungler and support arrived and killed him under the tower once again.

"Wow, Doinb is having a tough time this game, he's already 0-4." Even Wawa couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "After killing the bottom laners, EDG can take the bottom lane tower and the first dragon, so they've obviously made a huge profit."

But at that moment, the camera switched to the middle and upper channels one after the other.

Without the support's protection, Deft in the mid lane didn't dare to defend the tower and had to give it up.

Meanwhile, on the top lane, Chen Dongqing and Xiangguo seized the opportunity and finally pushed forward with a wave of minions, also destroying the second tower.

Trading a dragon and a turret for a mid or top turret, it's hard to say EDG lost out in this exchange.

It can only be said that as the top team in China, EDG is clearly very resilient.

Currently, the kill score is 4-6, which is not a big difference. However, thanks to the advantage in the number of towers destroyed and the fact that all four of EDG's kills were against Rumble, QG still has a 2200 gold lead.

Next, EDG continued to make moves, trying to reopen QG's wounds, but QG held the advantage and responded calmly, managing to fight back from other areas every time.

Soon, the match reached the 24-minute mark.

QG continued with a 4-1 split push, and Chen Dongqing's Jayce already had the classic Youmuu's Ghostblade, Duskblade, and Last Whisper in hand.

For a 24-minute mark, this economy is already quite good; at least a Sunfire Cape Ekko definitely couldn't withstand this damage.

This Jayce build makes him very fragile and easy to kill when caught, but EDG is already too busy to catch him.

Because, in the middle lane, Uzi's four-man team is also launching an attack on the middle tower!

Chen Dongqing pushed the top lane minion wave to the second tower, and Korol immediately appeared. Ekko became a tower defender, using his E to quickly clear the minion wave with his Q and Sunfire Cape.

Jayce alone definitely can't take down this top lane second turret.

But Chen Dongqing remained calm. He turned his attention to Jess and sent him straight to the middle lane!

"Hey, Tree Bro's Jayce is joining the team fight! That means QG will be pushing with five people! Let's see what QG has to say!"

What else can we say? Let's fire!

Dual shapeshifters have more than just high burst damage as an advantage.

They also have a terrifying aspect in team fights: their extremely strong poke ability!

As the minions advanced down the middle lane, Chen Dongqing immediately opened fire.

The surge of electricity shot out and hit the snake woman who was clearing the lane!

Cassiopeia opted for a late-game build with Time Warp and Archangel's Staff, which is quite tanky, but this build seems rather inadequate against armor penetration Jayce.

With that one shot, the snake woman's health bar was reduced by a third!

Every shot from the armor penetration Jayce looks so stunning; this visual effect is something that a Jayce with Manamune and Black Cleaver can never achieve.

After all, the armor penetration of the Black Cleaver needs to be stacked. If we only talk about firing cannons, this thing doesn't do much damage and can even be considered a bit of a drag.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangguo also threw a javelin, which just missed the target.

But Xiangguo remained calm and waited for the right opportunity.

Nidalee's Q isn't as easy to land as Jayce's Q, but it has a short cooldown, so you can try it out as much as you want!

A few seconds later, another javelin was thrown, and this time it missed again!

Come again!

A few seconds later, another Q was used. This time, the Q skill accurately hit the Clearlove's Graves, directly taking away a quarter of Graves' health with one strike!

"Electrical energy surges!"

At the same time, Councilor Talis also shouted and fired an acceleration cannon, which also hit Graves!

That shot dealt some solid damage. The reason Nidalee could only take down a quarter of the enemy's health with one spear was because Graves built Maw of Malmortius as his second item.

This item is useless against Jayce!

One shot and Graves lost another third of his health!

In elementary school math, one-quarter plus one-third equals seven-twelfths. The factory manager, who had lost most of his health in one fell swoop, had no choice but to retreat back to the city to replenish his health.

But when he retreated, his teammates had to retreat as well, and the second mid-lane tower was destroyed.

"QG's poke-heavy lineup is a nightmare in team fights," Wawa couldn't help but say. "What EDG needs to think about now is how to break this team fight cycle. Actually, they're not to be underestimated in head-to-head team fights!"

EDG's people certainly understand this principle, but that's when they start to ask questions.

With this lineup, how can they initiate a team fight?

Should Ekko initiate the team fight? Or should Graves initiate?

After looking around, the only hope for initiating team fights lies with Cassiopeia and Thresh, but their ability to initiate team fights is too unreliable, so for a while, things were a bit awkward.

Following their initial success, QG adopted a strategy of slow and deliberate attacks, as seen in their subsequent dragon team fight. After being repeatedly poked and harassed, EDG once again lost their team fight ability and ultimately had to give up the dragon.

The factory manager was grinding his teeth to dust; he knew that if things continued like this, he would truly be slowly worn down to death.

Seeing this, he said without hesitation, "Buy control wards, clear the vision around the Baron pit, and force them to team fight!"

Their lineup also has an advantage, namely, they can take down Baron very quickly. They want to use this advantage to force QG to engage in team fights!

Seeing that the vision control they had set up at the Dragon Pit was quickly cleared by EDG, the QG players knew exactly what that meant.

Doinb had a foresight point in the Baron pit, only to see that the Baron already had a quarter of its health left!

"Go for it, go for it, they're playing really fast!" Xiangguo was already in the upper half of the map, and he immediately moved towards the Baron pit.

Chen Dongqing, who was farming in the bottom lane, didn't hesitate and teleported directly to the mid lane minions! A team fight was about to break out!

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing also said in the voice chat: "Be careful, everyone. The other side saw that we are coming, so they probably won't fight to the end."

EDG's move was obvious; they were simply trying to force a team fight. They couldn't possibly fight Baron Nashor in front of QG, because doing so would only result in being completely outplayed by QG's top and jungle.

But as soon as Chen Dongqing finished speaking, there was already movement on the river.

Doinb was farming under the second turret in the top lane when he saw the enemy team taking down Baron Nashor. So he ran alone from his blue buff camp towards the Baron pit.

But before he could even step onto the river, a loud shout came through his earpiece from Sivir!

Then came Thresh's hook!

At this moment, commentator Wawa was shouting, "EDG's decision was brilliant! After clearing QG's Vision upgrade, they quickly gave up Baron and then moved to QG's top and jungle areas to ambush them, ultimately catching Rumble perfectly!"

Once Rumble is hooked by Thresh, he is already dead. EDG gets the first kill, creating a four-on-five situation on the field!

After eliminating one enemy, EDG decisively rushed towards Baron again. This time, they were clearly serious!

Chen Dongqing frowned slightly as he watched this scene. He had expected EDG to force a team fight, but he did not expect them to go to such extremes!

He thought for a mere 0.1 seconds, then quickly made up his mind. He shouted, "We can't let this go! We have to take it!"

Xiangguo nodded decisively. Nidalee stood on the river and used her Q to hit again, but it hit Sivir's E and did not cause any damage.

Liu Qingsong, on the other hand, was positioned quite far forward, looking for an opportunity to initiate a team fight.

Xiangguo followed behind Alistar and boldly placed a trap in the Baron pit, using the vision provided by the trap to check Baron's health.

Half remains.

But at that moment, EDG made another move!

As mentioned before, EDG only has two unstable initiation points: Cassiopeia and Thresh.

This time, General Pawn played an extreme individualistic move. He dared to see QG's jungler and support so close together, and immediately felt that this was an opportunity. Then he decisively used R-flash to make his move!

The moment the snake woman's eyes flashed with a petrifying gaze, she instantly teleported forward, bringing both the minotaur and the leopard woman into the range of her ultimate skill!

However, Xiangguo immediately stepped back after setting up the traps, causing the Nidalee to be in a turned-back position at that moment and thus failing to petrify her. On the other hand, Liu Qingsong was not so lucky and was directly controlled!

But Pawn's combo wasn't over yet. Although he didn't petrify Nidalee, he quickly threw his W, Ground Bind, at Nidalee's feet, preventing Xiangguo from escaping with Flash!

In that instant, Meiko's Thresh made a decisive move, flashing in and using his counter-E to bring the slowed Xiangguo back. Then, Sivir activated her ultimate and chased after Xiangguo, unleashing a barrage of attacks!

At the same time, Liu Qingsong used R [Unwavering Will] to break the petrification of the Cassiopeia, and then decisively threw WQ at Sivir!

But Deft was very focused. The moment Alistar came charging at him, he immediately flashed sideways, dodging the combo while keeping Nidalee within his attack range!

Two and a half AD items are definitely enough. Xiangguo didn't last long against Sivir's damage output before being taken down.

The situation on the field has become a three-on-five, and the Minotaur has already used up all of his skills!

But just then, Uzi suddenly yelled, "They're out of skills! We can fight! We can fight! Don't run!"

"No, no, no!" Chen Dongqing was also paying attention to the team battle situation at this time, and he certainly understood what had happened!

So what if Nakano isn't here?

Sivir has no Flash or E, Thresh has no Flash or E, Cassiopeia has no Flash, W, or R. As long as he and Uzi are still alive, they have theoretical room to maneuver in this wave!

Just then, Chen Dongqing keenly noticed that after Deft's Sivir killed Xiangguo, he didn't seem to intend to leave, but instead took two more steps forward.

Clearly, Deft doesn't think QG has the right to continue engaging in team fights, so in his mind, this wave will be a chase!

But who gave you permission, an ADC, to be arrogant in front of my top laner?

In that instant, Chen Dongqing's left hand frantically pressed the keys on the keyboard. What should have been a complex combo became effortless with his 92-point attack!

Q flash EWRQ!

Jayce in his cannon form flashes forward the instant he fires the cannon, arriving at Sivir's 500-yard distance, and then releases a vertical acceleration gate at his feet!

The moment the cannon roared out, Jess's giant cannon emitted an eerie light, and then he switched to hammer form.

By quickly pressing W and R in Jayce's cannon form, you can maintain the 2.5 attack speed effect of W into hammer form!

Immediately afterwards, [Leap of the Sky] crashed down, followed by a rapid four-hit combo with a 2.5 attack speed!

AAEA!

With 2.5 attack speed, she landed two consecutive heavy hammer blows, followed by a direct E [Thunder Strike] that sent Sivir flying!

The instant E was cast, taking advantage of the 2.5 attack speed and the last hit, another quick hammer strike followed!

This combo deals very solid damage; before the Duskblade's damage could even burst, Sivir's health bar was instantly emptied!

Right after killing someone, Korol's Ekko hit Jayce with his E, but Chen Dongqing didn't linger in the fight. He quickly created distance while the Wind Rider effect was active, and his health was still good!

At the same time, Uzi's Lucian also began his skillful maneuvers!

His target was Cassiopeia, who had all her skills empty. Lucian immediately used E to poke, followed by Q and W.

A simple combo, under Uzi's skillful control, appeared incredibly fast. With various techniques to cancel the aftercast animation, he quickly landed six basic attacks on the Cassiopeia!

At this point, Uzi's equipment was undoubtedly the best in the game. He was definitely good at farming resources, with 270 CS in 24 minutes, as well as plenty of kills and turret resources. He had the three items: Statikk Shiv, Manamune, and Infinity Edge.

If those six basic attacks land, the Cassiopeia will either be dead or severely injured!

However, General Pawn's performance was stable. As soon as Lucian came up, he took the initiative to activate Archangel's Shield, and a thick shield appeared, which absorbed most of the damage!

But Uzi didn't panic. After finishing his combo, he quickly activated his ultimate, "The Crimson Blade," and Lucian unleashed a barrage of bullets, managing to finish off the Cassiopeia!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Dongqing and Uzi each defeated one person, and the situation on the field returned to 3V3!

At this moment, Thresh and Graves from EDG had already closed in, but Uzi was not afraid at all.

With Essence Reaver, Lucian's E has a cooldown of only 11.4 seconds, and a single shot from his dual pistols can reduce that by four seconds. He just used his full combo, and his E would have already been refreshed!

He fired two more shots at Thresh nearby, and then instantly slid sideways before the bullets hit the enemy!

Lucian's passive AE is a useful trick, similar to Graves' AE. You can use a basic attack first, then quickly throw out E while the basic attack is in flight, and then use the remaining basic attack to hit the enemy, which can quickly reduce the cooldown.

In the URF (Ultra Rapid Fire) mode, Lucian can use this technique to achieve AEE (Automatic Ejaculation), throwing out two E attacks in succession to create a smooth, continuous glide effect.

After moving aside, Uzi continued firing, landing two more shots on the enemy hero!

The factory manager had barely arrived when Uzi fired four shots at him, taking away half of his health!

Next up was Uzi's individual skill show. With Flash and Heal at his disposal, he faced Thresh and Graves's encirclement. He first used Heal to speed up and dodge Thresh's hook, and then used a basic attack to further reduce Graves's health!

Finally, when his Q skill was ready again, he flashed and used QA to secure the kill on Graves!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Chen Dongqing, who had just finished killing people, was being chased relentlessly by Ike. However, Liu Qingsong's arrival alleviated this predicament, and the Bull Head Second Company helped Chen Dongqing hold off Ike!

Chen Dongqing, who was freed, reunited with Uzi. Jayce then unleashed another set of skills on Thresh, killing him instantly!

Immediately afterwards, the three QG players, all in poor condition, set their sights on the full-health Ekko. With steady play, the three managed to take down Ekko as well!

As the team battle progressed to this point, the cheers from the audience below the stands were already like a tsunami, echoing throughout the entire stadium!

"I! I really won!" The commentator, Wawa, almost swore. He shouted, "After having two players instantly eliminated, they pulled off a miraculous 3v5!"

"Or, this isn't a 3v5, it's a 2v5! It's practically a Jayce and Lucian duo show!"

"After this wave, QG will be able to take down Baron! EDG has absolutely no chance!"

I'm posting right away today, early enough, right?

Two updates and eight thousand words, this round is almost over.

See you tomorrow, brothers! I'll give you a big surprise tomorrow, enough to end the finals right away. How so?
