Chapter 167 Teammates Don't Seem Human

What can Faker say now?

Riven, who reached level 5 at nine minutes in the top lane, dared to use her skills to farm the lane even though she knew that EDG's mid and jungle were nearby and no one was protecting her.

The jungler and support duo in the bottom lane tried to gank a low-health Fiora, both of them trying to save their abilities. In the end, they not only failed to save any abilities, but also got killed instead.

Is there one that looks like a human?

Although he was also tower-dived and killed, he was sure that he hadn't made any mistakes in his actions. The only thing he hadn't paid attention to was that he had overlooked the fact that Fiora could still benefit from the healing circle outside the wall.

In comparison, the skills and awareness of his three teammates were truly appalling.

But now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything else. He could only calmly say, "Everyone, hold on. Their formation isn't good for pushing forward. Let's look for an opportunity for a team fight later."

Upon hearing this, Bang, who hadn't done anything except farm minions, turned and glanced at Faker, thinking that his Sang-hyeok must have been driven mad with anger.

Is EDG's lineup difficult to push forward?

A Fiora who has three kills in less than ten minutes, once she gets her items, who can stop her from split pushing and taking down towers?

If Faker dares to defend alone again, Fiora can tower dive if she wants. Even if Lee Sin goes to gank, the two of them might not be able to win.

And if two people go to gank Fiora, what about the front line? Are they just going to rely on him and the support to fight four opponents at once?

What? You mean there's also a Riven?

Sorry, Riven isn't really human!

In fact, by this point in the match, anyone with experience could see one thing: SKT's defense had been completely breached.

Five minutes ago, Riven's disadvantage in the top lane was temporarily resolved by Faker's mid lane lane priority and a well-executed gank, but the seeds of future problems remain.

Faker's solo kill triggered a series of chain reactions, but none of his teammates stepped up to save the situation. Instead, they added fuel to the fire, leaving the team to watch helplessly as the game collapsed.

"It's been ten minutes now. With Ravenous Hydra, Boots of Speed, and a Cloak of Magic Resistance, C's development is unstoppable. In his half of the map, at least two people are needed to fight him, otherwise one person is just feeding." Miller made a direct assessment of the situation.

In his view, EDG had already won half, or even more than half, of this game. As long as no one made a big mistake and lost a tower to take resources, even if one of their kills was relatively easy, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

Guan Zeyuan nodded in deep agreement: "When the situation was deadlocked, C God still managed to find an opportunity for the team with his personal strength. This is what we often call the difference between star players and ordinary players."

C-God always steps up when the team needs him. Like that tower dive just now, I think any other top laner wouldn't have made the same choice as C-God. He's truly carrying EDG forward.

Rita laughed and said, "Perhaps this is the meaning of 'backing up'; C-God is truly backing up EDG!"

[Is he providing a safety net? Interesting, but let me correct you, in international competitions, C-God is actually providing a safety net for the LPL.]

[My mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game!]

[Hate talking, this is my C's pick, see?!]

[Dude, this is SKT, and the opponent is Faker. Is it really okay for you to play like this?]

I really like a quote from a Royal Never Give Up fan: SKT will show EDG what a strong team is.

[Nothing more to say, brothers, let's report C on Weibo and celebrate!]

After finishing his equipment and leaving the base, Li Chen pointed to the blue team's bottom lane turret and dragon: "We can push the top lane turret. Scout, come roam to the mid lane. Gragas, come too. Let's take the dragon."

Faker had originally planned to call on Lee Sin to defend the bottom lane tower, but when he saw Gragas and Galio both moving towards the bottom lane, he gave up on that idea.

SKT can only avoid fights now, especially with Fiora on the team. They absolutely cannot afford to fight when their numbers are equal, otherwise they will definitely lose badly.

Without any resistance, Li Chen took down the turret and the dragon, and began to invade the blue team's jungle with Gragas. At the same time, he put pressure on the mid and bottom lane duo, making them afraid to leave the turret to push the lane.

Although SKT played very cautiously and maintained excellent vision control, preventing EDG from gaining any more kills, the loss of turrets and jungle resources allowed EDG to continue expanding their advantage.

Fifteen minutes in, Fiora solo pushed to the second tower in the bottom lane, and Peanut, who had been struggling to find his rhythm, started to get restless.

"Sanghyeok-hyung, should we gank this Fiora? Gragas is playing in the Rift right now, so I can't come help him."

Faker was somewhat tempted, but when he glanced at the top lane and saw Riven already pinned under Galio's high ground turret, he abandoned this unrealistic fantasy.

"Don't try to catch him. Fiora and Galio both have teleport, so neither of them is easy to catch right now."

In that ten-minute wave, even the second turret in the top lane fell. Now, Galio and Gragas are running rampant in the upper jungle, and nobody can control them.

Once the fight starts, Galio will teleport over to the big battle, and if he and Peanut are even a little slow, they'll die.

The proposal was rejected, and Little Peanut didn't know what to do next!

In the current situation, it really needs to seize opportunities and place orders, but with four against five and one less person, it simply doesn't have the conditions to do so.

At seventeen minutes, Galio and Gragas arrived in the mid lane at the same time, while Lulu followed behind Fiora, pushing all the way to the bottom lane's second tower.

Faker knew that if he insisted on defending the tower, EDG would definitely take advantage of his numerical advantage and dive the tower again, so he simply let it go and took the opportunity to let Riven push the minion wave in the top lane and farm.

In the current situation, sacrificing team economy to allow Riven to farm is a huge loss, because Riven is unlikely to farm properly.

The reason SKT lets Riven split push is simply because Riven is completely useless in a head-on fight; she's practically a non-player character, and whether she comes or not doesn't affect the outcome of the team fight. So they let her make the most of her remaining strength by split pushing.

However, by constantly avoiding battle and ceding resources, SKT simply cannot reverse its decline.

The economic gap between the two sides has now widened to more than 6,000, and apart from the AD carry, all other positions on SKT are lagging behind in level to varying degrees, especially the top lane, where the level difference is three levels.

In the LCK livestream, the "Roaring Emperor" had lost all his passion. Watching SKT being slowly chipped away at their health, he said listlessly, "SKT needs to find an opportunity. If this continues, they'll most likely lose this game."
