League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 217 Disconnection Wave 1
Guan Zeyuan has a deep understanding of the game, but even he can't figure out what EDG is thinking right now, since this move looks like a huge loss for EDG.
However, he couldn't say that EDG's decision was wrong, so he could only use his brain to explain: "Actually, this change is also acceptable. After all, the top lane has already pushed to the high ground. If the bottom lane is also pushed down, then EDG can directly threaten SKT's top and bottom high ground later."
Comparatively speaking, the mid lane, which is more likely to be the starting point for team fights, doesn't actually face as much defensive pressure. In fact, without turrets to help SKT establish a foothold, EDG can apply pressure from both the top and bottom lanes at any time.
Rita continued, "That's right, EDG still has a big advantage right now. There are no turrets on the top and bottom lanes, making it difficult for SKT to establish vision, and C-God can have more room to perform."
[That makes sense. Like I said, I don't need to watch EDG's matches; I'll wake up to another resounding victory.]
Trust me, C-God, it's just a turret, just give it to them.
[In sixteen minutes, my God C has already amassed a full combo of Corruption and Youmuu's Ghostblade. What's wrong with being a little reckless?]
【Huni is split-pushing in the top lane too, are they really not treating him like a human?】
If your top laner reaches level 7 in 16 minutes, would you consider him a human?
At this moment, the viewers in front of the screen did not think too deeply about it; they only felt that EDG had a great advantage and could play however they wanted.
Only SKT's head coach, Kkoma, was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but take off his jacket and ponder what EDG was trying to do in the rest room.
Given EDG's current command and operational capabilities, he doesn't believe the opponent would make such a mistake; something unusual must be going on.
"Are we going to just push the tower and trade bases? But they might not be able to take it down as fast as we are, and the mid lane minions are even faster... the minions, is he going to use the minions to his advantage?"
Just when everyone was wondering what EDG was trying to do, EDG's mid-lane tower collapsed.
Shortly after, the system notified that EDG had also destroyed SKT's second bottom lane turret.
Seeing that SKT was pushing the first tower and then the second, Scout gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Chen, SKT is going to keep pushing. I can't hold them off. They're blocking my way and not giving me a chance to clear the wave."
Li Chen glanced at the middle lane and said, "If we can't hold it, we'll keep retreating and let them push. We'll wait for them to push the high ground."
SKT was somewhat puzzled as to why EDG still showed no intention of defending.
Wolf asked with some concern, "They're going to take the high ground. Should we go back? Should we send Huni back?"
Faker quickly assessed the current situation. Although Huni had developed for a while, he was still far behind in levels and his equipment was also inadequate, so he wouldn't be of much use in a direct confrontation.
"Keep pushing, take down the second tower quickly!" Faker decided to continue pushing and let Huni continue farming.
Now they are in a dilemma. Whether it's EDG or them, whoever goes back to defend first will lose out. The time it takes to return to base is enough for the other side to push down another defensive tower.
At seventeen minutes, EDG pushed down the bottom lane inhibitor, while SKT also took down the mid lane second tower, and a group of them pushed towards the mid lane inhibitor with a large minion wave.
Seeing that SKT had pushed deep enough, Li Chen immediately pointed to the back of SKT and said, "Clearlove, go to the mid lane and block the wave."
With just one sentence, the doubts in the minds of everyone at EDG were instantly dispelled, and only then did they realize what Li Chen was up to.
The factory manager hurriedly ran towards the middle lane, and at the same time, Faker also noticed something was wrong.
"No, retreat quickly. The enemy is trying to block the minion wave and push straight to victory. Let's go back first. Huni, recall to base immediately."
As soon as Faker finished speaking, Nightmare appeared in the mid lane, right between their first and second towers, blocking a wave of minions that had just left their base.
Now everyone understood what EDG was planning: to directly block the lane and push the base, wiping out SKT in one fell swoop.
But realizing this now is obviously a bit too late. When EDG's bot lane duo was pushing the high ground crystal, Li Chen immediately used his teleport.
"The factory should move to the bottom lane first to help the two of them push. The four in the mid lane can't come back, so you guys should dive Fiora directly. I'll tell you when to use your ultimate."
"Scout, ignore the minion wave, use your ultimate to enter the bottom jungle, don't let them recall, you have Flash, try to stall for as long as possible."
The EDG players were busy with their own tasks according to Li Chen's instructions, while SKT was in a bit of a mess.
Faker doesn't know where Li Chen's teleport will land, and given that Riven is currently very fed and has Flash available, he could potentially kill them unexpectedly.
Even if they can't kill them instantly, they can interrupt their recall, and with Taliyah, they can easily hold them off for half a minute.
After a moment's thought, Faker made a decision: "We'll split up and retreat. Lulu and I will go top, while Bang and Peanut will go to the bottom half of the map to find a place to recall."
This split was something Faker had carefully considered. They needed at least two players back, but Lulu and Twitch were too weak to fight, probably not even able to beat Taliyah. So they had to split up their bot lane duo.
SKT members split up and retreated to the two jungle areas at the second tower. At the same time, Scout activated his ultimate and flew into the lower jungle, while Riven landed in the bush at the entrance of the upper river.
Scout flew into the jungle and ran right into Bang and Peanut, who were about to recall there.
Although he wasn't doing very well in this game and it was difficult for him to take on two opponents, Scout didn't expect to kill both of them; his mission was simply to stall for time.
So he spread out the stone array, flashed to dodge the Lee Sin's Q skill, and retreated, aiming to maintain an ambiguous distance to keep the two at bay.
Faker and Wolf were also cautious when entering the upper half of the jungle, since Taliyah had gone to the lower jungle, meaning Riven might be in the upper half.
As Lulu pushed forward, she placed vision along both sides of the mid lane. After confirming that Riven was not nearby, she decided to recall to base in the bushes next to the entrance.
"Expand the factory!"
Li Chen certainly wouldn't let the two leave. He didn't have SKT's vision right now, but he could roughly guess their location, so he immediately had Clearlove use his ultimate to coordinate.
Meanwhile, at SKT's base, EDG had already destroyed the bottom lane inhibitor and were waiting for the next wave of minions to push towards the inhibitor.
Upon hearing Li Chen tell him to unleash his ultimate move, the factory manager didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated it.
As the SKT players lost vision of their teammates and wards, Faker and his teammate's vision around them also dimmed, leaving them with only a small area of vision around them.
Just then, they saw Riven using her Q skill to run over from above, heading straight for the bush where they were.
it's over!
This was the only thought in Faker's mind.
Regardless of whether he can kill Riven or not, the game is over, and there's no time to return to base to defend.
And barring any unforeseen circumstances, this could be the fastest game to end at MSI.
