Chapter 445 Taking the Match Point! Kshine is Monster Strong!

Meanwhile, on the field, the director showed a replay shot of the middle lane.

Sure enough, in the last second before Irelia teleported, Akali decisively flashed forward into the turret and then used her E to activate Falcon Dance.

This explains why Akali was able to quickly reach the top lane even without teleporting.

So it was Song Yijin who brought the Japanese soldiers into the village.

"No wonder Flandre used Flash to fight back and struggle even when he knew he was going to die. Now everything makes sense!"

Miller realized it too late.

If the crab gives up resistance from the start, the troll can come up and cooperate with his teammates to deal damage, or even retreat from the front.

Furthermore, since the crab will die first, the troll tanking the tower will recover a large amount of health due to its passive ability, making its health less dangerous.

Even if Akali follows, without her ultimate or Flash, it would be difficult for her to force a trade with Trundle in front of Irelia and Aatrox.

It was because of Flandre's series of actions that IG's Trundle was forced to tank towers for his teammates instead of dealing damage.

It was also because the crab wasn't instantly killed that the troll was able to withstand the tower's attacks to the limit, putting him in a dangerous situation.

"Wow, Old Wang, you're awesome!"

Flandre let out an excited baboon-like yell, "Takeoff!"

He lost the minion wave but only got two assists. However, compared to being killed by three people under the tower and getting nothing, getting two assists was already a good deal.

Akali took over the minion wave under the top lane tower. After Urgot respawns, he can teleport to the mid lane to farm a wave of minions before returning to his lane.

In the end, IG suffered a huge loss.

Song Yijin's teleportation was a forced move by the mid laner who lost some minions.

That's all the profit we got.

What's even more terrifying is that Akali, who isn't even level 6, managed to get two kills so easily. Imagine what Akali would be like when she reaches level 6.

Sure enough, just over 5 minutes later, Wang Yao went back to base to replenish his supplies. When he returned to the lane, the equipment in his inventory made Song Yijin's eyes go black.

Akali completed her build with Sorcerer's Shoes and a Hextech Revolver!

With such luxurious equipment, Akali can practically solo kill anyone on the field!
Normally, in just over 5 minutes, based on the basic skills of a professional player, it can be considered that all minions have been last-hit, taking into account the automatically generated gold.

This wave of recalls will cost around 1100 gold. Previously, Riot Games nerfed "Lost Chapters" by increasing the price rather than reducing its stats. The price of 1250 gold will make mid laners particularly uncomfortable.

Because of the level 6 wave of returning home, there will be a difference of about 100 gold in economy.

This isn't a chaotic free-for-all where you can just wait at home. This kind of item progression will make things very difficult for Rookie.

Normally, following this pattern, Akali would either rush a pair of Sorcerer's Shoes or rush a Hextech Revolver.

With any one of these items, killing squishy mages at full health is a sure kill.

However, it is less effective against tanky warriors like Irelia, whose W1 skill provides a 55% damage reduction, which is quite good.

In addition, Song Yijin chose a small wooden hammer as his first small item, which also helped him gain some health.

But Wang Yao managed to get two kills, one of which was the first blood.

With both Sorcerer's Shoes and a Hextech Revolver, the damage is so high that even a tanky champion like Irelia can't withstand it.

What's even harder for IG to accept is that Nightmare is about to reach level 6!!

The previous failure of IG's three-man gank on the top lane not only allowed Akali to get two kills and Urgot to get two assists, but also caused Ning's jungle to suffer losses.

When Xiaotian saw Ning Wang not farming jungle camps but instead ganking top lane, he immediately went into the enemy's lower jungle and looted Frog Princess and the three wolves.

The experience gained from two more jungle monsters will naturally increase the time it takes for Nightmare to reach level 6!
This is another point in EDG's strategy to accelerate the pace of the game!
IG's defensive pressure suddenly increased!

What IG didn't expect was that Nightmare's first ultimate was used on the mid lane.

A whisper rang in the ears of the five IG players, the light bulb went out, and the Rift was plunged into darkness. The first reaction of all the IG players was to retreat immediately.

A moment later, Song Yijin from the middle lane shouted, "Nightmare is with me, can you save it?"

No one responded to him; how else could he be saved?

As Nightmare flew over, he used his Q skill in advance, which is Nightmare's most common RQ combo, successfully applying the Q skill to Irelia.

Akali immediately used her ultimate (R) ability, but only for mobility.

Because the initial distance wasn't enough, I got right in front of Irelia, started with my Q skill, then took a step back to trigger my passive, immediately followed by a basic attack, and chased after her!

Irelia's first reaction was to try to stun with Twin Blades, but Nocturne used his W shield to negate it, while Akali used her E skill to dodge, and in the process, she also attached Falcon Dance to Irelia.

Now Song Yijin was trapped with no way to escape. He could only activate his W skill, "Dance of Breaking Distance," to increase his damage resistance.

But it was no use. Nightmare kept attacking with basic attacks. Akali flew over with her second E, landed a basic attack, and immediately used her second R skill to deal execute damage.

Irelia is indeed very tanky; she wasn't instantly killed despite all that and still had a sliver of health left.

But that’s about it.

Akali landed an AQ combo, and Irelia's health bar instantly dropped to zero!
Akali secured the kill.

"EDG used Nightmare's first precious ultimate in the mid lane. Is this an attempt to help Kshine snowball?"

Miller said.

That makes sense, but it's not entirely true.

From Xiaotian's perspective, the top and bottom lanes are actually not easy to catch.

On the top lane, Aatrox already has his ultimate ability ready, and he also has Flash available, making him quite difficult to kill.

In the bottom lane, they have Varus and Tahm Kench. With Tahm Kench there, the damage might not be enough.

As for the jungle, Nightmare could never beat Troll in a one-on-one fight in the jungle. If he wants to maximize the chance of getting something out of his ultimate instead of wasting it, he can only do so in the mid lane.

Because a fed Akali has enough damage to synergize with him!
As for EDG's deeper design, it lies in...

Don't be fooled by Akali's two kills; Irelia can still hold her own in lane. You need to gank and kill Irelia again!
Akali has the ability to easily solo kill Irelia, which can completely lock Irelia in the mid lane, while Akali will have more space to gank the side lanes.

But EDG's attack was still faster than anyone expected!

After killing the Irelia in the mid lane, Wang Yao and Xiao Tian finished off the minion wave and immediately headed to the bottom lane.

"Huh? What are EDG's mid and jungle doing? Are they going to gank bot lane 4v2 even without their ultimates?"

Miller's eyes widened in surprise!
They really just forced their way in without any special moves!
Currently, the bottom laners are at level 5 and 4 respectively, with the support at level 4 and the marksman at level 5. Neither of them has their ultimate ability yet!
Kill as many as you can.

At Wang Yao's signal, iboy began to use his skills to clear the minion wave, forcibly pushing it forward.

Meanwhile, EDG's mid and jungle players emerged directly from the tri-bush behind the tower, trapping Varus and Tahm Kench under the tower!
The Alistar's WQ combo forced Tahm Kench to swallow Varus whole, and EDG's objective became clear.

Kill Tahm Kench!!
Against a bot lane duo with Tahm Kench, you should gank before Tahm Kench learns W.

Once Tahm Kench learns W, the best way to gank the bot lane is to target Tahm Kench.

Nightmare immediately applies Q, then uses E to inflict fear, while Kai'Sa deals damage from the side.

Akali, on the other hand, keeps using AQ, AQ. Now that her Q skill is leveled up, it's enough for Akali to frequently use her Q skill to deal damage.

Wow! That's some serious damage!

Wang Jiji kept exclaiming in amazement.

Tahm Kench had two health bars, but he couldn't withstand the combined fire of four EDG players.

After Varus was spat out, EDG was determined to kill him. It has to be said that Meiko's handling of the situation was truly meticulous.

A normal Alistar would use E immediately after WQ and stick close to the opponent, waiting for the E skill to stack up before stunning the opponent and unleashing a full combo of crowd control.

Instead of immediately using E, he silently calculated the maximum time it would take for Tahm Kench's W to devour a human.

Then, time your E skill perfectly. By the time Varus is spat out, Alistar's E skill stacks will be full. Alistar's auto-attack will stun Varus on the spot.

Meiko didn't run away; she just endured the tower's damage to the very end.

EDG's 4-man gank on IG's bot lane resulted in a forced trade of Alistar's kill for IG's bot lane duo.

Akali and Kai'Sa each secured a kill!
“EDG’s rhythm has been revitalized once again. Many times, it’s not that we want to hype up Kshine, but that he really is that good.”

"In this match, after Kshine achieved a double kill in the top lane, he snowballed in the mid lane, and then EDG started to make plays in the mid and jungle."

Miller exclaimed, "Sometimes I wonder, what kind of monster is Kshine? How can he always gain an advantage and lead his team to victory no matter what hero he plays?" At this moment, the online viewers in the live chat echoed Miller's words.

"This is my brother Yao! Do you even understand the significance of being the strongest player in history?"

"So it's really one title surpassing three? Did you even ask me, the Flying Emperor?"

"Get out of here! Isn't this the second championship coming soon?"

"Hehehe, I'll put my words here: Yao-ge is just a matter of time before he surpasses Lee Sang-hyeok and becomes the only Lee Sang-hyeok in League of Legends. As long as he maintains this momentum, I don't even dare to think who can defeat him!"

"Let's win the championship again this year, and then a three-peat next year! Hahahaha!"

"..."

The chat was already buzzing with excitement for the first half of the match. EDG fans felt that the S-series championship was already theirs and that they would most likely win this game.

Leading 2-0.

A comeback from 0-2 down to win 3-2 is impossible for Wang Yao!

On the field.

IG was also trying to find an opportunity. Ning came to the top lane again and tried to tower dive with TheShy, but the crab was not so easy to catch.

The main point is that the crab's ultimate skill has an execute effect. Although it can't kill your Aatrox, it can force Aatrox to revive in advance.

The sword demon couldn't deal any damage, and the troll alone couldn't do enough damage. After their first attempt, they had no choice but to give up.

Over here, Wang Yao secured a solo kill in the mid lane, and it was a tower dive kill at that.

no way.

With such good equipment, after getting a kill and an assist in the bottom lane, Wang Yao went back to base to replenish his equipment, even getting the Bilgewater Cutlass.

The kill process was very simple.

After pushing the minion wave to the tower, he immediately used Bilgewater Cutlass to slow the enemy, and then activated Q.

Once you attract the turret's aggro, immediately activate your W ability to conceal your movements.

He then quickly closed in on Irelia, landed a basic attack with his passive active, and immediately followed up with Q!

Song Yijin was also making a move. Since he couldn't see Akali's exact location, he activated W in advance to block a Q skill's damage.

Then, use W to reduce all the minions under the tower to low health, and then start using Q to dance back and forth in the minion pile to stack passive stacks, while also trying to dodge skills with the movement skill!
But this time, after Wang Yao used his basic attack, he immediately started with his ultimate skill!
Akali's ultimate ability, R, does not require any target to initiate and can be used in any direction. Furthermore, if R hits, it will cause a brief stun effect.

It wasn't a long time, but it was enough for Akali to apply her E skill, Falcon Dance, to the opponent!

In the current version of Akali, her RE combo is guaranteed to hit!

Akali is like that; once you get hit by her E skill, it's hard to survive.

After Akali landed her RE combo, she immediately used her second E to fly over.

Upon seeing this, Irelia immediately attempted to use Twin Blades to interrupt Akali's second E.

However, Wang Yao reacted quickly, forcibly interrupting his second E with the second R, flying to the face of the Irelia in advance, and then directly performing an AQ combo after landing!

Although Irelia also unleashed her ultimate, the shroud of shadows did not disappear, and Wang Yao's maneuver prevented him from being disarmed while passing through the sword formation. He quickly caught up with a basic attack followed by a Q.

Forcefully kill Irelia under the turret!
The timing was so coincidental!

Just around ten minutes in, which was the time when the Rift Herald was about to spawn, Wang Yao went back to base to replenish his supplies and immediately teleported back out.

EDG easily secured the Rift Herald.

IG didn't continue to be headstrong in this game.

But it's already out of control.

After securing the Rift Herald, EDG's mid and jungle players immediately ganked the top lane, where they, along with Flandre, killed TheShy's Aatrox.

Then Wang Yao's Akali solo-killed the first tower bounty on the top lane!
An Akali who's fed to this level is unstoppable!
Akali's true damage output was demonstrated in a team fight at 17 minutes.

The two sides engaged in a fierce 5v5 battle at Xiaolong!
IG's lineup still had a certain advantage, but Akali cut in from the side and used her ultimate to get in front of Varus.

Startled, Tam quickly swallowed Varus to prevent anything from happening to him.

As a result, Akali immediately used her W ability, Twilight Shroud, on the spot to prevent herself from being focused down, and then patiently waited!

After Tahm Kench vomited Varus out.

Varus anticipated Akali's move and used Flash to avoid her second ultimate.

Akali immediately used her E skill, Falcon Dance, and the shuriken accurately landed on Varus. She then used her second E to fly back, followed by an AQ combo and Hextech Gunblade upon landing.

That's right!
With EEAQ and Hextech Gunblade, Varus was solo killed by Akali!
"what?"

Miller and the others were completely dumbfounded. "What kind of damage is this?!"

"Akali's damage is just too outrageous."

While the three heroes in front—Irelia, Trundle, and Aatrox—were still struggling to limit Kai'Sa's damage, Akali easily solo-killed their own backline.

IG's lineup was instantly disrupted!
EDG wiped them out in a 2-for-5 team fight!

"It's over, it's over, this game is really hard to turn around."

Miller kept shaking his head.

How can we fight this?

A fully healed marksman can't even stand for a second against Akali. After Akali's burst combo, Varus would owe her at least four lives.

The two sides then engaged in even more intense and chaotic fighting.

Ultimately, the match time was set at 25 minutes.

After EDG wiped out another team at the Baron pit, they went back to base to replenish their supplies.

With an economic advantage of over 10000, each person is ahead of the pack in terms of one major item.

With such a huge advantage, EDG directly charged into the high ground, wiped out IG again, and then pushed all the way to IG's base crystal!
Wang Yao's Akali achieved a spectacular record of 13 kills, 0 deaths, and 4 assists, leading his team to victory once again.

"2-0! Congratulations to EDG for another victory! They are just one step away from their second World Championship trophy."

"As for IG, they have no way out!"

"IG cannot afford to lose any of their upcoming matches; a single loss would spell the end of their season."

"Personally, I still hope that IG can pull themselves together. They lost the first two games in a really embarrassing way."

"However, we can't say what the final result will be; it all depends on the players on the field."

Two to zero!
In a normal professional match, this score is basically enough to determine the outcome of the game.

If comebacks from 0-2 to 3-2 can happen frequently, can they still be called miracles on the field?

The value of the word "miracle" lies in its rarity; it's extremely difficult for a strong team to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.

"it is a pity."

Miller kept shaking his head and sighing, "Judging from their performance in the league, I think IG and EDG are definitely evenly matched, and it can even be said that they are neck and neck."

"But I didn't expect EDG to evolve and grow so quickly in this World Championship."

"It's not just you, I believe everyone felt that way before the competition started."

Wawa added, "Who would have thought that IG would lose so badly in two consecutive games?"

"It sounds absurd, but I still want to say it. It's really hard to believe that one day IG will lose games one after another because they can't beat the opponent in the mid lane."

Wang Jizhi pointed out the most crucial point.

IG's loss to EDG was mainly due to Song Yijin's inability to suppress Wang Yao in the mid lane, allowing Wang Yao to frequently find opportunities and dictate the pace of the game.

Song Yijin is a pure carry-type mid-laner. His playstyle is to snowball during the laning phase through his individual skill and then lead the team to victory.

A mid-laner who relies on their laning ability survives. If they can't beat their opponents in their strongest area, they naturally can't provide any positive help to their team.

But can we say Song Yijin is bad? In this World Championship, apart from Wang Yao, which mid laner hasn't been taught a lesson by Song Yijin?

It's not that he's not strong enough, it's just that he's not as strong as Wang Yao. At this moment, Wang Yao is as strong as a monster.
