League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 159 The Champion! (A long chapter of over 10,000 words, MSI is over!)

Once the battle calmed down, the director showed a replay of Chen Dongqing's tower dive, revealing every detail.

By using the turret's basic attacks three times in a row, Ekko gained a lot of free damage. Then came the subsequent AQAEA combo, firing six shots in two seconds, instantly killing Ekko. It wasn't until he walked out of the turret after killing him that he was hit by the turret's second shell.

[What a fast gun!]

[Ha!]

[Tree Bro is truly a god; he can casually pick Lucian for top lane and tower dive at level three. Who else can do that?]

Duke's expression was absolutely hilarious!

[If I were Duke, I'd probably be completely exhausted by now; not a single game today was enjoyable.]

The chat was buzzing with discussion, with many QG fans already predicting victory and anticipating a thrilling match.

Just how amazing is it? Nobody can guess.

With this kill in the top lane, the top half of the map has been completely opened up.

Everyone in QG's voice chat was discussing it.

"Awesome! Awesome!" Xiangguo spammed "6" in the voice chat. "Your Lucian is really something, no worse than Jian Zihao!"

"What!?" Uzi, who hadn't seen the kill in the top lane, couldn't sit still upon hearing this. "Impossible!"

Although Uzi became famous for Vayne, he knows that he has two other champions whose proficiency is no less than Vayne's, and may even be higher: Lucian and Caitlyn.

In terms of Lucian proficiency, he's one of the best in the world. Now you're saying a top laner can compare to him? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Chen Dongqing, however, remained silent with a smile. He knew that talking about this was pointless; he simply said quietly, "Jian Zihao, I've already gotten a solo kill in the top lane. When are you starting in the bottom lane?"

"Don't rush, don't rush!" Uzi stopped being arrogant upon hearing this. "It'll be over soon!"

Chen Dongqing returned to the top lane and continued to exert pressure, relentlessly tormenting the enemy under the tower as the minion wave pushed forward, entering a phase of one-sided domination.

Every now and then, Chen Dongqing would invade the jungle with Xiangguo. When the time came to seven minutes, Xiangguo and Chen Dongqing were quite aggressive and directly stole SKT's blue buff. In the end, Chen Dongqing also took the buff. Lucian with the blue buff had even stronger pressure.

As soon as we got there, we saw the four players from both sides frantically probing each other in the bottom lane, as if a war was about to break out at any moment.

But neither side rushed to make a move.

Bang is merely maintaining pressure; for their bot lane composition, avoiding fights is the best option.

As for Uzbekistan, he was waiting for an opportunity.

He glanced at his experience bar, exchanged a few words with Liu Qingsong, and the two quickly took action!

Uzi attacked the siege minion twice, bringing it down to nearly half health, then ignored it and started dealing with the melee minions, clearly intending to push the lane.

Liu Qingsong pretended to be about to finish off the siege engine, but the Tauren Chieftain walked up in a gruff voice, knocked it down with his hoof, and cleared it out with the help of the Relic Shield. As a price, he was hit hard by the policewoman and Bard, and his health dropped a lot.

But at this moment, Liu Qingsong suddenly launched an attack. The bull took a step back, controlled a suitable distance, and then immediately flashed and used WQ to hammer him!

This WQ happened in the blink of an eye. One moment Bang was still firing a basic attack, and the next he was knocked away by Alistar!

And in sync with the bull's head is Uzi.

At the same time, the little cannon fired a basic attack at the melee minions, and with the passive effect of the E skill, she killed both low-health melee minions with one basic attack!

With ample experience flowing into his body, Xiao Pao became the first of the four bot laners to reach level six!

It wasn't until this point that SKT's bot lane realized what QG's bot lane was up to!

Because the Minotaur was over-damaged, he had to return to base twice to replenish his supplies, missing out on a lot of experience. Uzi, on the other hand, only returned to base once, and that time he only returned after entering the lane and reaching the tower, so he basically didn't miss any experience.

This ample experience boost resulted in Uz having a huge lead in experience points, allowing him to quickly reach level six!

The situation in the bottom lane is complex and unpredictable; no one can figure it out. Tristana's level six achievement was truly unexpected!

Immediately afterward, Uzi's cannon also jumped up instantly, used his skill to level up to level 6 in mid-air, and then used his E [Explosive Spark] to hit Caitlyn's head.

Then Xiaopao landed and stepped on the policewoman's face, creating a slowing effect!

This version doesn't have the overpowered Conqueror rune yet, so Tristana's burst damage is slightly lacking, but she has Fervor of Battle, which emphasizes sustained combat. When Tristana activates her Q skill, you can see Caitlyn's health bar dropping bit by bit!

Faced with this situation, SKT naturally had to retaliate. Bang quickly used his E skill to create distance, but the E skill only hit Alistar in the face and did not escape Tristana's attack range. With no other option, he had to use Flash!

On the other side, Wolf locked onto Tristana, using his Q skill to slow her down, even if it didn't stun her.

But Uzi reacted extremely quickly and was determined to kill. The little cannon decisively flashed to dodge Bard's Q, charged in again, and then delivered a basic attack. The explosion sparked, and Caitlyn was already at low health!

Seeing this, everyone knew that the policewoman was already dead.

Without hesitation, Uzi first gave Liu Qingsong a healing spell to restore his health, then used W to charge at him again, stomped on the policewoman's face, and then fired another basic attack!

With a burst of war-fighting fervor, he successfully captured the policewoman!

"QGuzi has killed SKTBang!"

Uzi, who had a favorable lineup selected by his team in the draft, finally got his revenge for being oppressed in the previous games and successfully got a kill in the bottom lane!

And that's not all!

Immediately afterwards, Uzi turned around and blocked Bard's retreat, using his R [Destructive Shot] to push Bard back as he tried to escape, and then unleashed a flurry of auto attacks!

Liu Qingsong's Alistar quickly followed, but unfortunately, both Alistar and Tristana had long skill cooldowns, so they could only auto-attack one hit at a time.

Wolf didn't dare to breathe loudly. He could only use Flash to escape Alistar's attack range and then run away headfirst, hoping that the turret could save him!

"But this is impossible!" the doll shouted excitedly. "The cannons at full Battle Frenzy deal too much damage! Each hit is close to 100! Bard can't handle it at all! The little dog leaped again, landing on Bard at the very edge of the turret's range, one hit after another!"

Finally, Bard couldn't withstand the damage and was chased into the tower by Tristana and taken down with a single auto-attack!

After killing the enemy, W refreshed again. Uzi used his last hundred or so mana points to use Rocket Jump to get out of the tower and complete the double kill with zero health and zero mana!

"Nice!" A celebratory voice rang out again in QG's voice chat, but this time it wasn't from a teammate; it came from Uzi himself.

He was extremely excited at this moment, his face turned red. The sense of accomplishment from killing SKT's bottom lane twice was no less than that from winning the previous game!

Who says I'm no better than BANG?

Next, his teammates quickly followed with "Awesome!" and "Nice!", and the voice channel became noisy!

As they set off, Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction.

In his past life, Uzi never gained any advantage when facing Bang, and his record was always dismal.

Of course, individual performance is linked to wins and losses. Given that RNG has never beaten SKT, it is perfectly normal for Uzi to have such a dismal record.

But now it's spring of 2016, and because of his appearance, Uzi and Bang's matchup has come six months earlier, and this time, it seems Uzi is going to win.

Both the top and bottom lanes are now fully developed, and now all that's needed is for the middle lane to make a final push to end the game.

Perhaps, with such a huge advantage, Doinb doesn't even need to exert himself; if he just holds his own, SKT will definitely not be able to hold on.

But Doinb certainly wouldn't think that way.

In the upper half of the bracket, Xiangguo and Chen Dongqing's attack on Xiao Hei has become increasingly fierce.

Finally, at the eight-minute mark, the two pulled off a pincer attack, first feigning a tower dive on the top lane, then Xiangguo suddenly flashed and used E to control the Graves who was counter-ganking from behind, and then Chen Dongqing used E to W followed by R to close the distance, and after getting close, he used both guns and Q to easily take down Graves!

In the bottom half of the map, Uzi, with two kills, has firmly grasped the advantage. Now, whenever he sees SKT's bot lane daring to last hit, he jumps in and unleashes a combo. In addition, Tristana's wave clear is fast, so SKT can't get lane priority at all and is firmly pinned under the tower!

Blank was being chased and attacked, while Wolf couldn't move.

Faker's left and right arms are all sealed, and Zilean's ability to coordinate is greatly reduced.

At this point, the mid-lane Titan had already built Mercury's Treads, making him incredibly tanky.

For mid-laners like Titan, pushing lanes never relies on ability power, but rather on tankiness and skill levels.

Once Doinb's W skill is maxed out, he can easily push the minion wave right in front of Zilean just by activating W.

The reason he hadn't made any moves before was because SKT was ganking him too aggressively in the mid lane.

But now, things are different.

After Doinb pushed the lane, the Titan casually ducked into the river and disappeared from sight.

SKT was immediately on high alert, since a champion like Nautilus is really hard to counter when tower diving. Bang and Wolf hesitated for a long time, but decided to retreat behind the tower to observe the situation and wait for Blank to come over before making a move.

But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't see Titan appear in their vision of the tri-bush. Instead, Liu Qingsong's Alistar left the lane, came to the tri-bush, and used his scanner to clear their wards.

It wasn't until this point that SKT realized they had been scammed.

From the top-down perspective, it's clear that Titan didn't go to the bottom lane; instead, he pressed recall and went home.

Doinb was watching the Caitlyn and Bard, who were too afraid to even last-hit minions, when he grinned. He recalled to base, bought a Dark Seal, and then a Ruby Crystal.

"We can start now!" Doinb finally spoke.

This time, his target is the bottom lane!

No sooner had Liu Qingsong cleared the field of vision than Xiangguo's spider walked past the same spot, all without anyone noticing.

Xiangguo placed a ward in the bushes in front of the Krug camp behind SKT's bottom tower.

Soon, Uzi pushed the minion wave into the tower, and Doinb's teleportation skill lit up instantly.

A four-man encirclement of two opponents was formed immediately!

A mix of truth and deception, SKT was somewhat disoriented by Doinb's changing pace. Faker saw the teleport light in the bottom lane, frowned slightly, but still chose to use TP!

"Doinb teleports to the bottom lane, but Faker teleports too!" Wawa exclaimed loudly. "Ziguang's tower-diving power is pretty strong! QG needs to be careful this time! Hey, Shuge teleported too!"

Chen Dongqing's move was a backup plan. When he saw Faker teleport, he naturally teleported directly to the bottom lane without hesitation to ensure that the tower dive would be successful.

As for the enemy Ekko? His Teleport isn't even ready yet. They'll always have two extra players this wave, and you simply can't defend against it!

Faker saw another TP notification light up, and he knew exactly who it came from. He did a quick mental calculation and ultimately chose to cancel the teleport.

This wave can't be defended.

Even if he were Time, he absolutely couldn't get past five people diving the tower.

If we're not careful, we could repeat the group stage tragedy.

At that time, QG's five players grouped up and dove the tower to kill the four of them. In that game, the Fizz got thirteen kills.

Chen Dongqing reacted quickly; seeing Faker cancel his teleport, he also canceled his own and focused on laning.

If there are only two people in the bottom lane, he really wouldn't want to go down there and get those two assists.

KD looks good, but it's useless.

Anyway, this move was essentially a teleport swap with Faker, so he didn't lose out.

As for this four-man gank on the two, it didn't cause any trouble at all.

"I'll tank it! I'll tank it!" This time, of course, it was Liu Qingsong who tanked the tower. Niu Shao used WQ to enter the tower and then activated his ultimate, tanking it like crazy.

Although Wolf has countless tricks up his sleeve, like using his ultimate on himself instead of the tower, or using his Q to stun two opponents, none of it mattered!

With the combined strength of the four, the policewoman and Bard appeared quite vulnerable, and in the end, Uzi and Doinb each secured a kill, resulting in a happy ending for everyone!

Two more kills were added, and the QG fans at the scene cheered excitedly, showing their support for their team!

"Beautiful!" The three commentators were even more excited. "That four-man gank on the two was absolutely perfect! After killing two, they were able to control the game and take down the turret and the dragon. This is a huge momentum play!"

Meanwhile, on the LCK commentary booth, the "Roaring Emperor's" roar sounded utterly heartbroken: "No! Damn QG! This ends the bot lane laning phase! Is QG about to start their tower-pushing rampage?"

Anyone can see that SKT picked Caitlyn in the bot lane to push towers and exert pressure, but QG beat them to it. So what can Caitlyn do now?

If you don't gain an advantage during the laning phase, then the female police officer will be virtually invisible until the 30-minute mark!

Doinb's four-man gank strategy is exactly like this: although he doesn't make moves easily, once he succeeds, it's a fatal blow!

And just then, more bad news arrived.

"QGilex has destroyed a turret!"

The top lane advantage was too great, and the long-range top laner made it easy to push towers, so the top tower was already at low health. Chen Dongqing was just taking advantage of the situation.

"The tower is gone too!?" Beside him, Roaring Emperor's partner Kim Dong-jun also looked pained, but fortunately, the live stream was of the game, so no one in the commentary booth could see it.

The three commentators exchanged glances. Although they were very unhappy, they had to admit that SKT was now completely on the brink of disaster.

Offstage, Lin Yuanhua waved her support stick, sensing that Chen Dongqing was only half a step away from his first world championship!

At this moment, Lin Yuanhua sat up slightly and raised her gaze, thus seeing the image on the stage screen.

On the ground screen, the support progress bars for both teams are still being displayed.

At this point, it's clear that SKT's progress bar, like their hopes of winning, has become extremely slim.

After dismantling the upper tower, almost ten minutes had passed.

Chen Dongqing didn't rush home, but continued to develop online; his extraction was still a little short.

During this time, Xiangguo and Liu Qingsong seized the opportunity to arrest Graves in the lower jungle, but unfortunately this time Graves flashed back to normal and escaped by sheer luck.

"16.20JUG"

Doinb quickly noted this information down in the chat window.

After fourteen minutes, Chen Dongqing's last hits reached 134, and his Extraction finally reached 100 stacks, earning him 300 gold.

It wasn't until this point that Chen Dongqing finally returned home. He was carrying a huge sum of money with him. As soon as he got home, he upgraded his Bilgewater Cutlass into Blade of the Ruined King, and then upgraded his Straw Sandals into Mercury's Treads. He was extremely well-off.

Due to version limitations, Lucian cannot currently be built with Blade of the Ruined King and Black Cleaver; the only viable build is Blade of the Ruined King with Essence Reaver and then transitioning to a crit build.

While a crit-focused build offers high damage, it doesn't reach its full potential as quickly as Black Cleaver or Blade of the Ruined King. Furthermore, without the tankiness of Black Cleaver, Lucian struggles to stay afloat in the top lane, which is a major reason why there isn't a top lane Lucian in this patch.

However, it's not a big problem; there's a way to play a crit build. Against my 95-proficiency Marco Lucian, this is no problem!

"I'll go help Faker," Chen Dongqing said. "I have Mercury's Treads; maybe I can kill him."

"OK, I'll go straight to the mid lane to help push." ​​Doinb nodded, and he also recalled to base at the same time, heading straight to the mid lane with Uzi. QG instantly completed a three-lane swap.

Meanwhile, SKT was still exchanging ideas, searching for a theoretical glimmer of hope. They had studied QG's tactics quite well, so when they saw the lane assignments of QG's five players after they went online, they immediately understood what QG wanted to do next.

At this point, it usually means that QG is about to speed up their pace. For example, if QG doesn't even have a single player in the top lane, it means that QG wants to give up their own top tower and then use their numerical advantage to push down the mid tower first, thus performing a tower trade.

However, the mid tower is obviously more valuable. After destroying the mid tower, QG can spread vision extensively into SKT's jungle and gradually expand their advantage through vision, or directly gank and fight.

"Haocheng, you just stay in the top lane and push," Faker said. "Take down the top lane tower, then come back to defend it."

After a moment's thought, Faker said, "We can give up the mid-lane tower. Seonjoo, Jaewan, come down and help me gank this Lucian. This is an opportunity."

Everyone saw that the four QG players were grouped up in the mid lane, which meant that Lucian was isolated and helpless, so there was actually a chance!

"Okay, coming, bro." Blank and Wolf quickly agreed, and while the rest of QG were still pushing the mid lane, the two of them headed straight for the bottom lane.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing was the fastest to act; his Lucian had already reached the lane and started using his skills to clear the wave.

Because of his specific practice in meditation training, Chen Dongqing's current single-point awareness is quite superior.

In fact, he had already noticed that SKT's jungler and support were not in the mid lane. Of course, he knew where the two of them would come from, but he was not afraid at all. Lucian quickly cleared the minion wave and continued to apply pressure.

When split pushing in the top lane, you don't have to run away immediately if you get caught.

Knowing when to run, or what to do when caught, and how to delay the situation, are all skills in themselves.

This time, Chen Dongqing felt he could make a move, so he didn't back down at all and pushed the minion wave past the ruins of SKT's bottom lane tower.

Soon, SKT's Graves and Bard moved to the bottom lane. They thought Chen Dongqing would back down, so they took a route to flank him through the river. But Chen Dongqing was not afraid at all and pushed the minion wave back to the second tower.

Thanks to Lucian's E skill's mobility, Chen Dongqing wasn't afraid of being hit by Zilean's Q, so he confidently attacked the tower.

This scene clearly enraged SKT. Seeing that his teammates were about to get into position, Faker quickly stepped forward, used his E to slow Lucian, and then threw a bomb!

Chen Dongqing saw the bomb, but he neither dodged nor avoided it; there was no need.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be slowed down by Time Warp for the entire time, so movement is especially important and must be used to dodge control skills. He is not in a hurry and first uses a basic attack on Time Warp!

At this moment, SKT teammates arrived, and Xiaohai's Graves took the lead, using his E to throw a smoke grenade that enveloped Lucian!

Faker's hand speed is extremely fast. In that instant, he pressed WQ and threw out another bomb!

But who would have thought that Chen Dongqing had a clear mind? For him, the threat of the male gun smoke grenade was even greater than being hit by two bombs.

So Chen Dongqing decisively used an E-step to get out of the smoke grenade. As soon as he slid out, he saw that Faker's second bomb had already missed!

Double happiness!

Chen Dongqing nodded in satisfaction, then used his dual pistols to apply W to the Graves, followed by Q!

"Lucian with Blade of the Ruined King deals incredibly high damage! This combo took away almost half of Graves' health! But Zilean still has his ultimate, so he's not too worried!"

Seeing this, everyone knew that Lucian was in grave danger.

One against three? That's pretty blue.

But when I thought about how Lucian was Ilex, I realized it wasn't impossible, so the doll just said to be careful.

Chen Dongqing was naturally cautious. He casually used both pistols to poke the male gunman again, and then instantly pressed R!

[The Holy Lance] Unleashed! Lucian unleashed a barrage of bullets, relentlessly whittling down Graves' health!

Faker reacted quickly, applying his ultimate to the low-health Graves, and then using his E to slow Lucian!

Meanwhile, Wolf's Bard quickly arrived. He first threw a basic attack with his passive on Lucian, reducing his health bar significantly, and then applied Ignite before unleashing a Q!

At this point, Lucian's health was less than half remaining. If he took any more damage, he would have no room to maneuver!

Chen Dongqing was completely focused, staring intently at Bard's Q skill trajectory, but he himself didn't move, and the bullets continued to fire wildly at Graves!

He didn't plan to wait until the Zilean ultimate was over before killing Graves. After all, those few seconds of the Zilean ultimate were enough for three people to focus fire and force him to die. He had to make one person lose his fighting ability first!

Just as Bard's Q skill was about to reach Lucian, Graves finally fell to the ground and entered resurrection mode!

Chen Dongqing reacted quickly and decisively used Flash to create distance, narrowly dodging the fatal Q skill!

His teleportation was also quite deliberate, as he teleported directly in front of Time.

Lucian's gun continued to fire bullets, reducing Time's health bar by a third before finally stopping!

Chen Dongqing observed the situation.

Bard only had one ultimate ability left, Graves was lying on the ground, his Time Travel skills were all empty, and his Q skill was about to be available.

Stable.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing felt that everything was under control. He decisively used both guns on Shi Guang, and the cooldown of his E skill was reduced again. He was now ready.

But Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry to use his skill. Instead, he chased after Chen Dongqing and auto-attacked him again before unleashing his Q skill!

Lucian's Q skill cooldown is only five seconds at max level, and it was fully ready at that moment, allowing him to fire two more shots!

The advantage of Lucian's tattered gear and the damage from full stacks of Fervor of Battle were on full display. Lucian's damage was almost explosive. After a few shots, Lucian, who was already low on health, was instantly reduced to near-death!

With his older brother on the verge of death, Wolf had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move in an attempt to protect his teammate.

But Chen Dongqing swiftly struck, using AEAA, and simultaneously unleashed Bard's ultimate ability to easily secure the kill on Zilean!

With the passing of the most annoying time, Chen Dongqing's pressure was greatly reduced!

Blank's Graves had revived with nearly half health, but Chen Dongqing remained calm. He used Blade of the Ruined King to heal Graves, and the two immediately gained a speed advantage.

Meanwhile, in the mid lane, QG's four-man push effortlessly destroyed the mid lane tower. With the players now free, they switched the camera to the bottom lane to watch Chen Dongqing's overall gameplay.

With time running out and Graves respawning with only half health, Doinb immediately yelled, "Graves doesn't have Flash! Graves doesn't have Flash! His Flash has forty seconds left!"

"I know." Chen Dongqing even had the leisure to reply to his teammates' messages at this moment.

Lucian has a range of 500 yards, while Graves has a range of 425 yards, a difference of 75 yards. In addition, there is a difference in movement speed between the two due to the Blade of the Ruined King's active ability.

For Chen Dongqing, that was enough.

As a top user of both Marco Polo and Liu Bei, Chen Dongqing has a proficiency level of 95 for both heroes.

The fervor of war was palpable, and two invisible circles appeared in Chen Dongqing's mind, representing the attack ranges of both sides.

Chen Dongqing carefully guided the Graves into his own circle, landed a basic attack, and then quickly retreated before the Graves' circle moved over.

The control of that attack range is simply beautiful!

Although Graves couldn't reach Lucian, Bard could. Wolf kept auto-attacking from the back, and Lucian only had about 300 health left. That's the health of an AR, but Graves just couldn't land a single auto-attack!

But soon, Blank stopped playing with you. Graves' E skill was ready, and he quickly slid forward, and in the instant of a basic attack, he threw out his ultimate!

But at that moment, Chen Dongqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He vaguely guessed that the male gunner was planning to use his ultimate to finish him off, so he immediately moved downwards and dodged at a right angle!

That was an absolutely brilliant move. Graves' ultimate ability, [Ultimate Bomb], seemed to have passed right through Lucian's model, but it just didn't detonate!

On the contrary, Graves himself was moved back two hundred yards due to the recoil of his ultimate!

Chen Dongqing grinned.

Take it!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, firing three shots with QAA, and also taking down Graves!

"Double kill!"

One against three, and he killed two!

"However, Tree Bro might be in some danger too! Lucian's health is too low! And Bard's Q skill is about to be ready!"

The next instant, a Titan and a spider rushed out from behind him!

"QG's support has arrived!" Colonel Guan's tone was clearly tinged with excitement. "Let's see how Bard runs now!"

Xiangguo was afraid that Chen Dongqing would die, so Spider used Flash to throw a [Cocoon] at Bard, which hit Bard precisely. Then he used WQRQ combo to instantly bite Bard to near death.

Then Titan landed a hook, and Chen Dongqing quickly followed up with two basic attacks to easily take down the enemy!

"Triple kill!"

The triple kill announcement echoed throughout the arena, further boosting QG's already fierce morale. Uzi immediately said, "Chen Dongqing, go back and heal. Clear the top lane minions, and we'll push the bottom lane and take the dragon."

"OK." Chen Dongqing turned and retreated, concealing his merit and fame.

Throughout the entire retreat, his good friend Xiangguo stayed by his side the whole time to prevent Chen Dongqing from being sniped by the policewoman, protecting him clearly and thoroughly.

Less than two minutes after leaving the house, three more heads appeared in the tent, marking a significant step forward for Chen Dongqing towards the Scythe of Essence.

Without stopping, he headed straight for the road.

At this moment, two messages flashed on the screen.

"SKTDuke destroyed a defensive tower."

"QGUzi destroyed a turret."

Finally, a tower was demolished, which should have been happy news, but SKT couldn't be happy at all.

Because they understand what sacrifices were made behind the construction of this tower.

"Keep pushing! Keep pushing!" Uzi shouted excitedly. "Let's try to take down the top and mid tier 2 towers before the 20-minute mark! We'll speed things up this game!"

Following that, QG continued their 4-1 split push strategy. Chen Dongqing's Lucian remained invincible on the side lanes, while Uzi faced immense pressure pushing towers in the mid lane. Both lanes launched an attack on the second tower simultaneously.

SKT managed to defend with Ekko and Zilean's tower-defending abilities, but ultimately both towers were destroyed in 19 minutes.

Even after pushing down the tower, QG retreated as usual, seemingly to return to base to replenish their equipment.

Meanwhile, the SKT players quickly moved forward and began to share the pushed minion wave.

Everything was so harmonious, and at this moment the LCK commentators had already begun to discuss how to defend against QG's next push.

But at that moment, Faker frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

Because this defensive move lasted too long, the wards they placed earlier have either been cleared or have expired, and now their minimap is completely black.

The darkness instilled a sense of crisis in Faker, and he shifted his gaze to the game time.

19:59

20:00

Time jumped, and we arrived at a new 60 seconds.

Faker's heart skipped a beat, then began to race under the influence of adrenaline.

He quickly pinged Baron Nashor and said, "Hurry, hurry! The enemy might be trying to kill Baron!"

As he was talking, he turned around and applied the speed boost to Graves, then reset his W and applied it to himself. The two of them still rushed from the mid lane towards the Baron pit!

Once at the right distance, Faker was the first to use a Foresight Modifier.

But what he saw left him speechless.

Because at this point, the dragon only had 4396 health left!

"QG, with their two marksmen and Elise, took down Baron too fast!" The commentator was practically going crazy. "QG's five players were guarding the Baron pit, rushing Baron precisely at the 20-minute mark! SKT reacted, but it was too late!"

With a roar that echoed through the canyon, Baron Nash turned to ashes as white light flashed from his mouth!

Faker glanced at the time in the upper right corner.

20:08

In just eight seconds, they took down the Baron Nashor, a feat that no one in the world could stop.

Even if Faker was clearing the mid lane, he definitely wouldn't have had time to protect the Baron!

Dragon control is the second strength of the dual marksman lineup!

At this moment, a Baron Nash appeared on the stage screen, shouting loudly at the audience. But then, a flash of light appeared, and the Baron collapsed to the ground!

But as the dragon fell, flames raged on the ground, growing ever stronger! It was as if the body of the evil creature was being used as fuel to ignite the flames of victory!

"With this Baron Nashor secured, the economic gap between the two sides has officially exceeded 10,000!" Miller exclaimed excitedly. "QG only needs to make a few adjustments before launching their final offensive!"

QG members, of course, need no further explanation. They don't intend to operate slowly; instead, they will strike while the iron is hot and attack directly at the heart of the enemy!

"Let's push together as a group of five this time," Uzi said. "Once team fights start, protect me and Chen Dongqing, and we can fight however we want."

The QG players understood this perfectly. They grouped up tightly, joined the minion wave, and headed straight for the mid-lane high ground tower. Meanwhile, Alistar and Nautilus, the two initiators, stood at the forefront, ready to initiate a team fight at any moment.

On the other hand, SKT was clearly unwilling to let QG send the minion wave with the Baron buff into their high ground tower. They simply couldn't clear that wave of minions.

But they clearly underestimated QG's determination.

With such a significant economic advantage, QG's task of initiating team fights is very simple—they don't need to engage on a specific carry; they just need to start the team fight.

Therefore, Doinb remained very calm. Seeing that SKT's minion wave was cleared, he didn't hesitate and used Flash to hook the enemy!

The anchor pierced through the center of SKT's camp, just like when S9's hook hit TheShy's Angel. This time, he accurately hit Blank's Graves who was about to clear the minions!

Holy crap!

QG's already somewhat noisy voice chat instantly turned into extreme chaos as everyone rushed forward and started attacking Graves!

Unfortunately, SKT had a Zilean, and although Graves' health bar disappeared instantly, Faker still used his ultimate, putting Graves into resurrection mode.

But the problem isn't too big. As long as they can get team fights going, QG is invincible.

Chen Dongqing keenly noticed that Faker's position was slightly forward than before because he was going to give a revive.

Without saying a word, I immediately froze my hands!

The moment Lucian raised his right hand and threw his W [Fervor Blast] towards Zilean, a golden light flashed around him, and he flashed forward, bringing Zilean into his attack range!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing's hand speed exploded, and he made a swift operation.

The moment he pointed at the time and drew his dual pistols, he used his E skill at his feet, and a short E reset his basic attack, unleashing his dual pistols once again!

[Radiant Light Across the Body]!

The Q skill follows immediately after the four shots.

Lucian's damage is now terrifying. With almost three items, even though Faker built Rod of Ages to increase his tankiness, he still crumbled at the slightest touch in front of Lucian!

Less than a second after Flash in, Lucian unleashed six hits of damage, instantly depleting Faker's health bar!

"QGilex has killed SKT Taker!"

A clean kill, QG's teammates didn't even get a single assist!

"Faker got instantly killed! What kind of damage was that?!" Miller's voice suddenly rose. "It's now a 5v4 situation. Graves will respawn immediately, but he definitely won't escape!"

After killing the person, Chen Dongqing quickly pressed R, and Cyber ​​Lucian's dual pistols fired energy bullets continuously, still frantically whittling down the health of the rest of SKT!

Uzi's Tristana is more like an ADC. He doesn't do anything like jumping in; he just relies on his range and attack speed to keep attacking from behind, creating a perfect output environment!

The Graves revived and got up, only to fall to the ground again in less than a second.

It wasn't until this moment that Uzi finally jumped up to chase after Chen Dongqing and walked alongside him!

If SKT dares to counterattack, Liu Qingsong's Alistar will definitely rush out of protection immediately!

Chen Dongqing used his E skill to slide forward once more, unleashing his dual pistols and bringing Bard to low health!

Uzi also flashed forward, easily taking the kill with two basic attacks, and then jumped again.

Ekko with his tank build activated, Tristana unleashed a barrage of auto-attacks on Caitlyn!

Bang's equipment was far inferior to Uzi's, and the policewoman was already at a disadvantage in point-blank duels, ultimately being taken down by Uzi with two shots!

Immediately afterwards, Xiangguo used his E skill to create a cocoon and hit Ekko. QG swarmed in and wiped out Ekko as well!

"Quadra kill!"

Four consecutive extraordinary achievements!

"Pentakill! Pentakill! Where's the pentakill?" Uzi actually saw Chen Dongqing kill Shiguang, but he was in a state of brain overload and couldn't process it.

"Don't try to get a pentakill!" Chen Dongqing laughed. "I killed the first enemy, how can you say you got a pentakill? You stole four of my kills, do you know that?"

"Bullshit! You're not a cannon fodder, how can you farm like that?" Uzi's face was flushed, whether from shame or excitement, it was hard to tell, but he immediately started yelling again: "Let's go for it!"

"One wave after another!"

game over!

Faker stared at the black and white screen, looked at the Flash he had failed to use, and then looked at the damage list for a long time. Until this moment, his gaze was blank.

He never expected that he would fail to qualify for the MSI for the second time.

Is it really that difficult to win this Mid-Season Invitational?

Faker lay back in his chair and couldn't help but sigh. They also felt powerless to turn the tide and could only watch as QG destroyed their base.

boom!

The SKT base exploded, and the game ended at 22 minutes and 28 seconds!

"It's over! It's all over!" Wawa shouted hoarsely. "Let's congratulate QG for defeating SKT 3-1 and winning the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational!"

"After a year's hiatus, QG successfully defended their LPL title and lifted the trophy once again!" Miller couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Looking back now, QG's journey has been nothing short of legendary!"

Five professional players from different places got to know each other from scratch. Although they encountered setbacks and problems along the way, they gradually developed their own system and defeated last year's world champion, leaving their names on the trophy.

The ground screens and the four overhead waterdrop screens all displayed the QG team logo in a uniform, changing display!

This white and gold pattern has officially entered the eyes of audiences worldwide today, and this team is destined to leave a strong mark on the history of esports!
