A ward appeared, making the Baron's 4000+ health in the pit particularly noticeable. The Baron at 20 minutes wasn't particularly strong, and the fight wasn't slow. However, the 20-minute respawn time wasn't long either. WE, having just pushed down the mid tower before starting the Baron, found that three members of the opposing EDG team were already close to respawning.
Once revived, A-Guang's Poppy will teleport, and they will suffer damage from three people and Baron Nashor.
"Can we catch up? Shall I go up and catch up?"
"No, Egg, keep an eye on the barrels. Let's keep fighting the dragon, and leave as soon as we're done."
Are you confident?
"We're already here, so stop talking nonsense."
As they spoke, Baron's health dropped to around 1800. Ekko placed a W in the Baron pit, and Eggman also had his finger on the Q skill button, ready to interrupt Gragas's entry. At the same time, Poppy, who had just respawned, pressed her Teleport.
1800... 1400... 1000
it's time!
Seeing this health bar, the factory manager's Gragas immediately took action. Instead of using the conventional Flash, he used E to move to the other side above the Dragon Pit while simultaneously flashing.
The 7-digit E-flash perfectly avoided Janna's Q and Ekko's field of effect, and appeared next to Baron.
The two punishments were delivered simultaneously, one after the other.
"Whose dragon is it?!" Miller sat up straight. The screen in front of the commentary booth wasn't very big, and he needed to sit up to see it more clearly. This dragon would determine the course of the rest of the match!
Soon, rings of purple light appeared simultaneously at EDG's feet.
Factory manager, we got it!!!
"666666"
"Your father is still your father; the factory manager has taken his revenge."
"It's over. How is WE supposed to play when they're at a disadvantage with this lineup? Once the dragon is gone, it's all over."
"Hey, why not just go all out and fight the dragon head-on? Can't we just play it safe?"
Losing Baron Nashor means that the early advantage gained has been completely wiped out, and they will even have to endure the pressure from the Baron buff for the next few minutes. Of course, what's even more critical now is that the WE players who took Baron Nashor are not at low health, and they have to face the EDG players who are buffed.
"Run! Run now!" Luo Fei shouted almost the instant he realized he had failed to capture the dragon.
The rest of WE also understood this well, decisively using their mobility skills to escape. In crucial moments, they never hesitated to abandon any teammate, which is a fine tradition of WE. In short: they were very decisive in sacrificing themselves.
Because of their decisiveness, EDG players didn't choose to chase after Lee Sin, leaving only Lee Sin behind. This was a huge win for them.
"My bad, I was too confident." He had to take the blame for his mistake. He was the one who ordered the dragon to be captured, and it was his fault that the dragon was stolen. As for the slightly lower HP due to the level difference, that was even more his problem.
"Don't rush, take your time, we still have a chance."
WE players naturally wouldn't blame him; the advantage was earned at the cost of his life. So what if the dragon was stolen? They'd just look for an opportunity to turn the tide in a beautiful team fight. However, this meant the shift in offense and defense meant it was EDG's turn to take over.
When it comes to operations, EDG has never been afraid of anyone in the LPL.
Having secured the Baron buff, Lucian now possessed three core items. Facing EDG's offensive push fueled by the Baron buff, WE resorted to a strategy of conceding.
Xiao Long, let it go.
Let's go to the jungle.
Defense tower, let.
Highland crystal, let.
The main crystal... We can't give up this, we really can't give up this. If we give up this too, what's the difference between them and EDG?
During the Baron buff period, EDG almost completely destroyed WE's outer turrets and even took down one lane of inhibitor turret. Ultimately, it came down to the team composition; WE's lineup had such poor wave clear that it simply couldn't defend.
At this point, EDG's economy had already surpassed 3000 points.
Watching the WE team constantly retreating, the audience felt that the game was truly over. At this point, Lee Sin was useless, and Ekko couldn't exert any pressure in a split push. Why persist in a game with no hope?
Looking at the five serious faces in the lower left corner of the screen, they all eventually fell silent.
Based on the three games WE played so far, it's clear they genuinely wanted to win. With that attitude, the audience naturally wasn't too harsh in their criticism, especially considering WE's current performance is already exceptional.
Did WE on the field realize their significant disadvantage? Of course they did! When EDG capitalized on this disadvantage during scrims, they immediately quit custom games.
But this one is different.
It's not just because this is a semi-final, but also because they still have a last hope of a comeback that hasn't been extinguished.
Luo Fei never imagined he would be the star of every match, because that was unlikely and too exhausting. He was the protagonist, but he wasn't. He was ordinary, yet extraordinary. He couldn't defeat such a powerful team like EDG alone, but he had his teammates.
He can make his teammates win easily through his own efforts, and his teammates can also make up for his losses through their own efforts.
The turning point in this game was the brother-in-law who had been quietly developing his strength while suppressing his temper.
Vayne is a hero who can change the world, and their only hope.
Protect Vayne, give her room to develop and create an environment for her to deal damage. Then place the heavy burden of responsibility on his shoulders. All he can do is hope and believe that his teammates can shoulder this responsibility and turn the tide to make up for his mistakes.
This is the spirit of mutual support among teammates, and it's the awareness that a center position player should possess.
Not everyone can become a hero, because there always has to be someone applauding the path a hero walks.
This round, it's up to you.
Mystic!
Chapter 157, Section 164: The Hardworking Genius
When EDG's Baron buff expired, the game had reached 25 minutes. Thanks to their early advantage and their teammates' resource sharing in the mid-game, Vayne's items were now up to par.
With Blade of the Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Berserker's Greaves, and even managing to build a Quicksilver Sash while farming all three lanes, this build is already at its ideal state, as there's no way to go any further.
The current disadvantage is 3000 gold. Given the poor team composition, it's already a miracle that Vayne could turn this game around. If the gold difference continues to widen, even Vayne won't be able to salvage the situation.
Time was pressing WE to find opportunities to fight, as they were ultimately at a disadvantage. EDG was naturally happy to see WE's desire to initiate fights. Before 35 minutes, they could indeed snowball their economic advantage and carry the opponent. But after 35 minutes, their AD Lucian was also struggling to kill the front-line super minions.
Considering WE's unique "bladder-like" playstyle, the EDG team unanimously felt that it would be better to end the game sooner rather than later.
The two teams quickly separated at Baron Nashor, and WE definitely couldn't afford to give up the second Baron. Conversely, EDG also needed to be wary of the opponent trying to steal Baron by timing their attack. They knew very well what WE had been hoping for after holding on for so long, and precisely because they knew this, they were even more determined not to let them steal Baron.
Late-game Vayne is no joke. With a bit of luck, a critical hit can kill them with just a few auto-attacks, especially Mystic: a man who turned a weak version of Vayne into a strong one. His understanding of Vayne is definitely top-notch.
This time, however, EDG is no longer on the defensive.
They found a positioning mistake on the enemy's part and activated Gragas's ultimate, Explosive Barrel, which exploded right in the middle of Janna and Vayne. Luckily, Mystic reacted quickly enough and used his Q skill to forcibly change his position, otherwise he would have definitely been blown up by the ultimate.
Although it's a bit of a shame that it didn't come back, this ultimate skill successfully separated the support from the AD.
That's enough!
Poppy immediately unleashed her ultimate, charging it up, while Alistar flashed in for a double knock-up followed by crowd control. Their target was the enemy's last hope, Vayne.
"Protect AD! Protect AD!"
"Look at the ADC, look at the ADC."
"Watching, don't let the opposing back row get on the field!"
"Leave it to me!"
Ekko placed his W directly at Vayne's feet. Legge was about to rush over when Poppy used her charged ultimate to send him away. Xiye managed to save a bit of AD and block the enemy's positioning. LeBlanc used herself as a dividing line, forcibly separating the enemy's battlefield.
Lulu and Lucian were indeed stuck. Although neither of them were particularly afraid of LeBlanc alone, Lee Sin didn't immediately go to his own AD carry but instead went to LeBlanc's side. Both of them knew that if their two carries didn't go, the enemy's damage output would likely be insufficient, but if Lulu went now, Vayne would almost certainly die if caught in the crowd control chain.
EDG's offensive was relentless, thanks to Gragas' ultimate ability which disrupted the opponent's formation, leaving them unable to provide immediate protection.
W+E Flash Q!
The factory manager immediately followed up with a skill and then crowd control. Alistar was a support, and Gragas was only a semi-tank. But the enemy was just a squishy AD carry, and even a semi-tank damage dealer shouldn't be underestimated; they had already lost a full three-quarters of their health.
Behind them, A-Guang's Poppy was also arriving. As long as his Poppy landed a double attack, the three of them could easily kill Vayne with auto-attacks, even if she still had Heal.
However, at this moment, an unexpected person appeared.
"A two-stage reversal!"
From the very beginning, Leg Bro intentionally got knocked up. The W he left before being knocked up was a foreshadowing, and the reduced vigilance of the opponents after the knock-up was also part of his strategy. When he saw that the opponents had indeed all flashed to focus fire on his AD, he knew he had succeeded.
Ekko, thousands of miles away, returned to his starting point in the blink of an eye. He activated his E skill and Flash, successfully appearing on the initial position.
W Time Interleaving, Control Takes Effect!
EDG's top laner, jungler, and support were all completely controlled by Qi Qi.
"Wow! 957! 957's W move was absolutely crucial!"
"This W is worth a fortune!"
Before the two commentators could finish their announcements, Janna finally returned to Vayne's side.
R-Revival Monsoon Begins!
With Janna's ultimate ability activated, Vayne's health visibly recovered.
Once Poppy regained her senses, Egg stopped using his Q skill again to control Poppy, who had used her E skill to charge in. It was at this moment that bad news came from the rear of the battlefield.
EDG_Deft kills WE_Killer
By recklessly cutting off the enemy's path, the mid and jungle players inevitably had to bear the consequences. EDG's two carries were already renowned, especially when they had the advantage. Luo Fei and Xi Ye couldn't withstand the pressure for long; one died and the other escaped with low health. The only good news was that they successfully stalled for time and even reduced the enemy's carries' health.
With both carries low on health, and the top laner, jungler, and support out of control, the player silently memorized the enemy's health and abilities. A flicker of emotion finally appeared in the usually calm eyes of the player. He wasn't calm at all; in fact, his heart was burning like a raging fire.
What is the "C position"? The "C position" is someone who consumes the most resources and then contributes the most damage when needed most.
This is the center position.
Now, it's clearly time for him to take on the role of the center.
The final moment begins!
What's done is done!
With a stealthy roll, Vayne created distance and began to counterattack.
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
