League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 369 Instantly Eliminates Four! QG's Three Core Players' Perfect Teamwork!

After securing a solo kill on the side lane, Chen Dongqing quickly rushed to the top lane and began pushing the minion wave forward.

Poppy's respawn time of over twenty seconds was more than enough for Chen Dongqing to push the minion wave to the second tower.

Poppy's release will take some time, which means Clid has to go to the top lane to help defend.

But Chen Dongqing certainly wouldn't take Zac seriously. The captain blocked FPX's top second tower and chased Zac with his Q, which was extremely arrogant!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the captain held off the two, Uzi in the mid lane also pushed the minion wave to FPX's mid lane tower!

The moment the minion wave reached the tower, the top laner fired a shot into the air, and the flare exploded in mid-air. The [Cannon Barrage] instantly covered the mid-tower position of FPX!

With the captain's ultimate slowing down the enemy, even if the FPX bot lane duo wanted to escape, it was incredibly difficult for them due to the slow effect!

At the same time, Shi Senming activated his ultimate skill, using R-Flash-W to charm the unsuspecting Janna, locking down all of her skills!

QG's charge was incredibly fast. They first eliminated the crucial Janna, then Xiangguo landed a big stun on Lin Weixiang's Varus, forcing him to use Cleanse and Flash. Then, Xiangguo used Q-Flash to crash into him, securing two kills!

"With the side lane captain drawing fire, QG seized the opportunity presented by the numerical disadvantage, decisively initiated a team fight, and secured kills on FPX's bot lane duo!"

I remember the commentators shouting from the commentary booth, "After killing those two, they can directly push down FPX's mid-lane first tower, or even the second tower!"

As the commentators sang, QG charged straight in and took down the mid-lane tower that they had been struggling to breach, and then pushed forward to take down the second tower as well!

At this point, even Colonel Guan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "This is the effect a skilled split-puss player can bring to the team. The mid-lane, which the team hadn't broken through for twenty minutes, was completely breached in this one wave!"

"Indeed!" The camera cuts to the top lane, where you can see that Chen Dongqing's captain is still quite arrogant, still eating Clid's swamp frog, highlighting his blatant arrogance.

Although Chen Dongqing wasn't in the mid lane this game, he was absolutely instrumental in breaking the mid tower!

The solo kill on the side lane puts pressure on the enemy, attracts the jungler to farm the lane, and then the long-range ultimate locks them down. Everything is calculated perfectly.

After this move, QG gained a huge advantage!

FPX's lineup has Karma in the mid lane and Janna as support. Their ability to seize opportunities is already weak, and their protection is not up to par. So obviously, their chances of turning the game around are extremely slim!

With the mid-lane pressure, Chen Dongqing quickly took down the top lane's second tower, and then switched to the bottom lane, taking down the bottom lane's second tower at the 27-minute mark.

After returning to the city, Chen Dongqing, who had been developing rapidly, almost paid the full price for a Bloody Hand.

Uzi also pulled out three items at this moment, and the QG team immediately started to force a team fight at Baron!

FPX didn't play games and decisively accepted the challenge.

In this version, the Captain only has three barrels and doesn't have items like the Swift Blade to refresh the barrel cooldown, which means Chen Dongqing can only hold onto the Powder Barrel and wait for team fights, resulting in the Baron's health not decreasing quickly!

FPX saw this scene through their vision, but they weren't in a hurry. They moved directly from the river to the front and started harassing the flanks!

"Get them!" Seeing that the other side still dared to engage in team fights, Xiangguo immediately used his Q to escape from the dragon pit and unleashed his ultimate!

Xiangguo's target is clear: that damned incense burner monster!

This time, however, Liu Qingsong reacted quickly, dodging Sejuani's ultimate with a flash, and then shielding Lin Weixiang!

FPX used a pure four-protect-one lineup in this game. Varus was backed by Janna and Karma, while Poppy and Sejuani were in front. The four heroes protected the only carry very well!

FPX has managed to stay in the game this far thanks to the team fight capabilities of this lineup.

Lin Weixiang did not disappoint this protection. He held two summoner spells, with Janna's shield above his head, and both attack power and attack speed were increased. He placed Sejuani at the very front of Varus's R, and then drew his bow and fired wildly!

With a proper combo sequence, Varus continuously dealt percentage-based damage, causing Sejuani's health to drop rapidly!

"Charge! Charge! Charge! Kill Varus and we win!" Xiangguo seemed oblivious to his low health and kept pushing forward!

Xiangguo has a clear understanding of his own role. As long as he has used up all his skills, even if he dies, it is because he has taken enough damage to die, so he has not lost anything!

Shi Senming followed closely behind Xiangguo's lead. Rakan activated his ultimate, used E to dash to Sejuani's side, and was about to use W to engage Varus, but the next second Poppy activated W [Unwavering Demeanor], keeping Rakan out!

Meanwhile, QG's three carries were not idle, unleashing all their damage on the two front-line units they could reach, rapidly reducing their health!

But at the same time, Doinb's Karma pressed RE, and Liu Qingsong's Janna pressed her ultimate and Redemption. The two enchanter supports worked together, one giving a shield and the other healing, and quickly brought their condition back up!

Lin Weixiang's shield was almost thicker than his health bar, and he became bolder. Varus took two more steps forward and used two arrows and a Q to send Sejuani to her death!

"My god, FPX's teamfight composition is so solid, QG doesn't seem like they can break through!"

Rakan and Sejuani were targeted by Popick, and the three carries' damage output couldn't break through the protection of the enchanter support.

Judging from the head-on situation of the 5V5 team battles, although QG had a huge advantage, they were actually struggling in the team battles!

This scene startled Shi Senming, who used his E skill to return to Uzi's side, and then also provided Redemption and a group heal!

Chen Dongqing frowned as he looked at the team battle scene before him, feeling that things were getting complicated.

FPX's shell is too hard; they're really difficult to beat.

Unless they stick their own heads out.

Chen Dongqing gave the order: "Retreat first, retreat first! Let's see what the other side says. There's still a chance!"

At this moment, the FPX players were also somewhat conflicted.

Their team composition is certainly strong enough, but the problem is that they can only fight from within their own defenses.

If we take the initiative, we will not be able to maintain the integrity of our lineup.

If they keep hiding and don't take the initiative, they will never win the game.

QG only lost one player this wave, so they could have maintained a good position and retreated directly. What can they do? Should they hide in their shells and go back to farm, or should they press their advantage and continue their attack?

"We can't retreat this wave! We have to chase!" Doinb urged anxiously in the voice chat, "Can we go up and hold them?"

"Okay!" Clid said succinctly. Zack squatted down to stretch, and then launched himself forward!

Gao Dewei's E skill had already been used up and was still not ready, so Zac was able to leap directly into the center of QG's lineup, accurately hitting Xayah in the distance with a Q, and then hitting Gangplank next to him with a basic attack, colliding the two of them hard!

Immediately afterwards, Zac activated his ultimate ability, spreading out on the ground to envelop Gangplank and Xayah. With a tightening motion, both of them were completely enveloped and carried towards FPX's formation!

At that moment, cheers erupted from the audience!

"We're doomed!" Guan Daxiao stood up and exclaimed, "Tree Bro and Little Dog both got hit by Zac's ultimate! QG looks like they're in trouble this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain, who was in mid-air, took a bite of an orange and fell down, quickly placing a gunpowder barrel at his feet.

You don't actually think this is Clid driving, do you?

Uzi has a flash and a big Xayah, how could you, Zac, open it?

Uzi and Chen Dongqing insisted that FPX's lineup lacked offensive capabilities, and that even if Zac brought them back, they wouldn't die!

So they deliberately exposed a weakness to lure the other side out of their shell!

And now, the objective has been achieved!

Now, all five members of FPX are focused on Xayah, and the overall team composition has become more compact.

Gao Dewei seized this fleeting opportunity, and Syndra, whose E skill was just in hand, quickly flashed forward and unleashed a QRE combo!

Four dark orbs shot out from different angles, knocking out all five FPX players without exception!

After Uzi was brought to the center of FPX's camp, he immediately activated his ultimate skill [Storm Feather Blade], and Xayah shouted "Feathers Everywhere" and scattered countless feathers!

Chen Dongqing quickly fired a second gunpowder barrel, placing it in front of the FPX camp. He then detonated the first barrel and, while the bullets were in flight, flashed forward, forcibly placing the third barrel in the center of the FPX camp!

The powder keg started exploding one after another!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The third exploding barrel exploded directly in the middle of FPX's camp. Chen Dongqing took the opportunity to activate his ultimate skill, and another true damage cannonball fell!

The three-item armor penetration captain's damage is not as good as the burst damage build, but it has the advantage of consistent damage.

After that bucket, the health of all FPX players dropped to below half!

Just then, Uzi landed his ultimate, pressed his Q skill to shoot out two more feathers, and then immediately used his backstab!

Countless powerful feathers were retrieved, unleashing another wave of explosive AOE damage!

"QGUzi has killed FPXlwx!"

"QGUzi has killed FPXCrisp!"

The captain unleashes his ultimate move!

"QGilex has killed FPXDoinb!"

Syndra unleashes a W!

"QGGodV has killed FPXZoom!"

At that moment, the entire audience erupted in cheers!

"Huh?" In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan almost knelt down, clutching his head and shouting, "This is too outrageous! QG was fighting three against five, and they won!"

From being chased to instantly killing four people, QG's trident completed a terrifying reversal in just one move!

In the scene, FPX only had one Zac left, split into four pieces in the river. Chen Dongqing stared intently at the screen, seized the opportunity when only one fragment remained, and used Q to attack!

"ACE!"

While the captain secured a double kill, QG wiped out the entire team!

"Wow!" Shi Senming, who hadn't contributed much at all, was stunned. "You guys were too amazing!"

"So-so," Uzi said smugly. "I'm all about skill!"

With his arms crossed, Gobert said, "I think I was the most crucial player in this play. If I hadn't used RE to push five opponents, how could we have turned this around?"

"What's the point of pushing five enemies?" Chen Dongqing immediately retorted, "If it weren't for my Q-flash triple barrel combo plus my ultimate to maximize damage, would we have even been able to kill them all?"

"What are you barking about, you dogs?" Uzi retorted, clearly annoyed. "It wasn't that I intentionally took Zac's ultimate to draw attention; you could have pushed five enemies, right? And my damage wasn't low either, was it? I definitely deserve the most credit for this!"

"Baron! Baron! Baron! Stop yelling!" Xiangguo's voice came from the side, interrupting the three's argument. The three stopped arguing and turned to take down Baron with their teammates!

At this point, the economic gap between the two sides had already exceeded 10,000!

After returning to the city, Chen Dongqing took out his fourth piece of equipment, the Guardian Angel.

He said, "Heh, break through the flanks, don't come here."

"Just focus on using your ultimate," Uzi grinned. "We've already pushed down mid lane, who's going to split push with you then?"

QG's five players grouped up and went out, first clearing out the jungle, and then taking down the newly spawned dragon.

At this moment, Uzi's ultimate ability was ready again, and QG's five players started pushing forward once more.

With a 10,000 gold deficit, even the most complete FPX lineup couldn't make a difference. Chen Dongqing pushed the side lane to the high ground to draw fire, and then used his ultimate on his teammates in front. Xiangguo and Shi Senming rushed in to initiate a team fight, easily winning the game!

"Alright, congratulations to QG! They've secured their first victory in this semifinal match in 32 minutes and 43 seconds!"

I remember shouting from the commentary booth, my face beaming with excitement, "QG's team fights were fantastic this game! That team fight at the Baron Nashor pit deserves to be etched in history!"

At this moment, countless LPL viewers in the live stream were also discussing it.

QG's team fights are unmatched, need I say more?

[But FPX played quite well this game. Despite being several thousand gold behind, they were still able to go toe-to-toe with QG.]

[The "four-protect-one" strategy works like this; in the current Ardent Censer meta, AD damage is just too high.]

But it still doesn't work; a single core can't compete with a triple core.

The main problem is that Tree's advantage in the top lane is too great; he completely dominates the side lanes, and FPX simply can't push forward.

[I can only hope it doesn't end 3-0, FPX should try to win at least one game.]

Inside the FPX lounge.

At this moment, Doinb is reviewing the problems that existed in the previous game with his teammates.

"In the last game, our lineup was too passive, which isn't our style," Doinb said, shaking his head. "With that lineup, if we don't have an early advantage, we simply can't win."

The rest of FPX also strongly agreed with Doinb's words.

Halfway through the game, they realized that the turtle-like lineup was only good at stalling when at a disadvantage, but it was difficult to win the game.

If Samsung had this lineup, they might have had a chance, but they definitely wouldn't have been able to.

"Next game, we still need to seize the initiative," Doinb said seriously. "Next game, the opponent will choose a side, so we'll probably still be playing on the blue side. We'll directly pick Xayah and Rakan, and then pick a mid-lane champion that can seize the initiative. How about that? This kind of lineup will be easier for us."

The FPX members exchanged glances and then nodded together.

It can only be this way.

The FPX players are very confident in their rhythm.

Because they often practice with QG, they understand this very well.

As long as they can play to their usual rhythm, they can win even against QG.

Soon, the second game officially began. This time, QG chose sides, but QG took the initiative to choose red, so the positions of both sides remained unchanged.

This time, FPX made some subtle changes to their ban picks. Even though QG didn't ban Poppy, they still banned Fiora, ultimately choosing to ban Caitlyn, Camille, and Fiora.

But this time, they took the initiative to pick Rakan, hoping to change things with this hero's ability to initiate team fights.

So, QG's choice is self-evident. Banbazi and his teammates discussed for a few seconds and decided to break the Xayah-Rakan combination, pick Xayah, and then choose Janna to counter Rakan.

Both Xayah and Janna can counter Rakan's engage to some extent, so it's quite reasonable.

In the mid lane, Doinb didn't hold back this time and locked in Kled for the mid lane, while in the jungle he locked in Rek'Sai, taking the tempo to the maximum!

As for the top lane, they chose Kennen, which is why they banned Fiora. With Kled in the mid lane, they couldn't choose Poppy in the top lane and had to choose Kennen to make up for the lack of AP damage.

When Chen Dongqing saw FPX pick Kennen, he really wanted to play Nasus again, but this time Banbazi stopped him because the team didn't lack frontliners and engages, but they were lacking damage dealers.

In the end, Chen Dongqing added Jayce, and the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side FPX: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Kled, Bot lane Twitch and Garen.

Red team QG: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Malzahar, Bot lane Xayah and Janna.

The second game has officially begun!
