LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 554 Unleashing the Ultimate Move! Garen Spins in Circles! Griffin Goes All Out!
"Just shoot! Don't hesitate!"

After the five EDG players arrived at the Baron pit, Wang Yao gave them instructions!

"it is good!"

"Speed, speed."

The others also went all out, unleashing all their skills on Baron.

At this moment, the three GRF players who had died had just respawned, while only Kai'Sa and Graves lingered outside the Baron pit.

"Chengyong (Tazan)! Shall we go in and try to snatch it? I believe in you!"

Yes, we all believe in you!

"Yes, you can definitely do it!"

In GRF's voice chat, several teammates instantly put immense pressure on Tazan.

Now that things have come to this point, Tazan's Graves has no choice but to go in and steal the dragon, even if he doesn't want to.

He was lifted up by his teammates.

Inside the Baron pit, there is an earth dragon buff, making EDG's Baron extremely fast.

10,000 HP, 8,000 HP, 5,000 HP, 3,000 HP...

Just as Baron's health was about to drop to zero, Viper's Vision Mod suddenly shone in, briefly providing Graves with vision.

Tazan's Graves flashed down when Baron Nashor had about 2000 health left.

Graves used Q and Smite simultaneously, and at that moment, Baron Nashor let out a deathly roar of annihilation!
"Graves's here! Tazan's Graves is really here to steal the dragon!"

"Whose Baron Nashor is this? Whose Baron Nashor is this?!"

Seeing that Tazan really wanted to prove himself, several LPL commentators became a little worried.

They were also afraid that their jinx might actually affect EDG; if Griffin managed to steal Baron Nashor, then the outcome of the game would be quite uncertain.

"Red team EDG kills Baron Nashor!"

As the rousing voice broadcast rang out, the commentators on stage erupted in cheers.

"Nice! Beautiful!"

"It's EDG's Baron! Karthus got Baron!"

"Wow! EDG just needs to push forward now!"

To be honest, these LPL commentators were a bit nervous, after all, the opposing Graves also had Flash and Smite, and they really had a chance to steal Baron.

However, Wang Yao remained completely calm.

One Graves player is only level 10, while his Karthus is already level 15!

The damage from the Smite spells on both sides is vastly different. If Tazan manages to steal Baron Nashor, he might as well uninstall the cheat!

At this moment, Tazan's Graves had used Flash to get into the dragon pit, but he couldn't escape anymore!

The five EDG players surrounded them, and each of them used a skill.

"Kal'thus the Deathsinger has killed Graves the Outlaw!"

In the end, Wang Yao's Karthus dealt slightly more damage, successfully securing the kill.

In just one minute, EDG first won a team fight and then secured the dragon.

They then ran to the Baron pit and successfully secured the Baron.

The economic gap between the two sides instantly ballooned from six thousand to eight thousand.

With the Baron buff, EDG's push became even more unstoppable.

In a very short time, GRF Griffin's three twin towers collapsed one after another.

The game lasted 23 minutes.

GRF lost all six outer towers on all three lanes and also lost three dragons.

But what's even more terrifying is that while the EDG team was busy pushing towers, Wang Yao's Karthus was still farming jungle camps like crazy.

"Miracle Walker" Kshine is still farming in the jungle!

We've reached level 17 now!
Your own jungle, Tazan's jungle, the minion waves on the side lanes...

Wang Yao's Karthus is like a gluttonous ghost reincarnated, never full, eating wherever he goes!
In just 23 minutes, the level difference between Karthus and Graves had reached five levels.

If it weren't for the jungle experience compensation mechanism, Tazan would probably have been pushed back to level six or seven.

Let's take a look at Wang Yao's Karthus build; he's now officially at full build.

AP jungle item, Zhonya's Hourglass, Void Staff, Rabadon's Deathcap, Sorcerer's Shoes, and a Mejai's Soulstealer with over 20 stacks!

The number of last hits reached an astonishing 379!

It's only been twenty-five minutes!

When Karthus, fully equipped with six items and even having taken a potion of magic, led his minions toward GRF's turrets.

The GRF members were still in a daze.

Why is Karthus's inventory full?!
Their jungler Graves only has two items?!

How come the enemy jungler is already fully geared up?!

Seeing this, Tazan seemed completely dazed.

Remember shouted excitedly, "My God! In just 25 minutes, Kshine has already got a full build! This is the quarterfinals of the World Championship, not some ranked game!"

"It's over, it's over. After taking the magic potion, this Karthus's ability power is probably over 1000!"

"If that Q skill hits, the enemy squishy will probably lose half their health in no time!"

"Yeah, this Karthus probably has thirty stacks of Dark Harvest already!"

……

At this moment, Wang Yao didn't want to wait any longer and directly boosted the speed of the opposing GRF team.

Seeing that the GRF team was still thinking about defending the high ground tower, Wang Yao did not hesitate and immediately used his ultimate skill, Requiem.

Scout, the veteran Sion player, immediately started beeping the moment he saw Karthus use his ultimate.

Keep in mind that at this moment, Karthus's level 18 ultimate will deal 500 base damage to all enemy champions, plus a 0.75 AP scaling.

In addition, Meiko's support Yuumi is attached to Karthus.

Yuumi will grant an additional 20 + 12% Adaptive Force to the allied champion she attaches to, which is equivalent to dozens of points of ability power damage.

Karthus's AP has now reached 1113!
Soon, Karthus finally unleashed his ultimate ability. As a lock-on attack that ignores distance, it's impossible for the opponent to dodge even if they use Flash. They'll either have to build Zhonya's Hourglass or use Stopwatch.

But this time, the Griffin team is a true melee team!
The top lane Camille, the jungler Graves, the mid lane Jayce, and the bot lane Kai'Sa and Nautilus are all AD builds, so there's no way they have Zhonya's Hourglass!

A fully equipped Karthus deals damage that squishy champions who are five or six levels lower and have two or three fewer pieces of equipment simply cannot withstand.

"Requiem!!"

"Listen to the revelry in death!"

Karthus' ultimate ability finally landed on Griffin's team, and then bright red numbers appeared on their faces as the five players' health plummeted.

Kai'Sa, a squishy champion, was instantly reduced to below half health!

Meanwhile, the rest of EDG also launched their own offensive.

Saint Gun's captain used his ultimate to cut off the enemy's retreat.

Side-rotate firing!
Then the cat moved to iboy's Xayah and started mindlessly reaping the entire field!
"ACE!"

A satisfying and exhilarating team wipe!

"Holy crap, that was awesome! Karthus' Requiem completely crippled all five of Griffin's players, they couldn't even play against them."

"This is Kshine! This is Yao-ge!"

"We won! We took it! Nice!"

On the LPL commentary booth, Miller couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw Karthus with such an exaggerated development and dealing such terrifying damage.

Then, the game stopped at 25 minutes and 49 seconds, and GRF Griffin's crystal base suddenly exploded!

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

"Well done, jungler!"

"Yao carried the game again, this match was so much fun."

At this moment, the EDG team's voice chat immediately descended into chaos.

Everyone started praising Wang Yao with smiles on their faces.

"In that case, let's shout out the words we've all been waiting for—Congratulations EDG!!!"

"Congratulations to EDG for winning the second game of today's quarterfinals best-of-five series! They've taken the lead in the match!"

"I think EDG's hot streak today has already proven who will be the winner tonight."

At this moment, the audience below the stage was equally excited.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

"The Silver Dragon Knights are still charging forward with their swords drawn!"

"Brother Yao will always be a god!"

"Kshine: I will prove on the world stage who is the world's number one jungler!"

"..."

At this moment, the LPL live stream chat was flooded with comments, with countless viewers venting their emotions like madmen.

Meanwhile, at the scene in Madrid, Spain, as the atmosphere grew increasingly agitated, the emotions of the audience were also caught up in the excitement!

Tonight's match was more exciting than anyone had anticipated.

It can be said that the EDG players tonight did not disappoint the LPL fans who bought tickets to come to the venue to watch the game!

In the current LPL region, both FPX and IG have made it to the semifinals. With just one more player missing, the LPL will be able to achieve an unprecedented encirclement of the LCK!
This is a spectacle that has never happened in the history of the LPL!

Although everyone knows that Wang Yao is very fierce and stable.

However, there are no weak teams in the World Championship. What if the opposing GRF suddenly has a burst of energy, or one of EDG's players eats a bowl of beef noodles and suddenly drops in performance?

The ensuing public opinion is probably beyond their imagination!

"Phew... I have to say, EDG is a really strong team. They're in great form and have a real chance of winning a three-peat!"

After calming himself down, Miller continued in a loud voice:
"From the group stage all the way to today, EDG has once again demonstrated its dominance! This EDG team is as strong as ever!"

"The Bird's Nest in S7 and Incheon in S8 are etched with the strength of this legendary team."

"Yes, they're amazing! Especially Yao Ge, he really hit his peak right from the start and has never let us down!"

"A prodigy who appeared out of nowhere, his brilliance continues to shine even now!"

I remember smiling excitedly as I spoke.

Doll took a deep breath and continued, "I think we need to calm down first!"

"EDG won this match beautifully! They showed everyone Kshine's strength in the jungle position. This match was a perfect example of a jungle carry play!"

"Yao's Karthus was amazing. He started clearing the jungle at 2 minutes and 40 seconds, completed the first gank at 3 minutes, and then just kept going like he was on fire."

"In just 25 minutes, I've racked up nearly 400 kills. That must be a new record for kills in half an hour!"

Miller continued, "The current World Championship meta is all about tempo-based junglers, all those heroes who can dominate the early and mid-game." "But EDG has managed to find a different path, a new system. Their understanding of the meta is clearly far superior to other teams."

"..."

The commentators were still reminiscing about the exciting match from the previous game.

The audience listened with great interest and didn't find it boring at all.

Meanwhile, the GRF players' bench was completely silent.

At this moment, the mischievous director turned the camera on them.

After the second game, all five GRF players remained in the match area, slumped in their chairs.

Especially Tazan the jungler.

As a rising star jungler in the LCK, he was already in a daze, his eyes glazed over.

He had such a good jungle rhythm when facing other teams, but why did he become so bad when he encountered Wang Yao?
Why is this Karthus clearing the jungle so fast? In less than three minutes, he's already at level four, starting his jungle camps, and getting kills and ganks!
Why are my teammates so useless? They're completely ineffective!

Why? ! !
As questions began to surface in Tazan's mind.

Tazan looked worried, his eyes quickly scanning the top laner Sword Emperor, the mid laner Chaowei, the ADC Viper, and the support Lehends.

But when he looked at his teammates, he suddenly realized that all four of them were staring at him.

Clearly, in his teammates' eyes, Tazan was the culprit of this game!
Although his teammates didn't say much, those who understood the implication knew what he meant.

"Let's go."

Fortunately, as one of the five LCK players to make it to the World Championship, GRF adjusted their mentality quite quickly.

The break time during the quarterfinals of the World Championship is very short, only about ten minutes.

The EDG players, returning victorious, chatted happily in the rest room.

Meanwhile, the GRF lounge across the street was shrouded in gloom.

Tazan, completely bewildered, is still a bit stunned.

He really didn't expect that the Graves, on whom he had placed such high hopes, would be completely dominated and repeatedly beaten by Wang Yao.

In this game, Wang Yao's Karthus was exceptionally well-timed, whether it was early-game ganks, jungle invasions, or team fight engagements.

He confidently picked a champion to counter the enemy jungler, only to get his head smashed in the next second. It was incredibly embarrassing.

Old Ma from the West!

"Aigoo... How can this guy be so freakish? He always uses his ultimate skill first in team fights, leaving me with almost no health. I really can't find a suitable space to deal damage."

Viper, who was almost driven to despair by the beating, couldn't help but mutter curses.

He also got badly beaten by EDG's jungler Karthus in this game, and he was resentful but couldn't find a suitable outlet to vent his anger.

Seeing the team's morale gradually decline, Coach cvMax stepped forward to encourage them.

As the founder of Team Griffin, he personally built and witnessed how this young team fought its way to the World Championship.

He also believes that these players' strength and potential are actually no weaker than any team's.

"Guys, don't take the loss from last game to heart. The Karthus on the other side is nothing special. We can just ban him."

cvMax pretends to be relaxed, but is actually under immense pressure!
He always thought his version analysis was very thorough, but after seeing EDG's gameplay strategy and drafting ideas, he realized that EDG's understanding of the version was equally excellent.

Griffin's strategy revolves around gaining an advantage in the early laning phase, because apart from their weak top lane, their other laners are all quite strong.

The mid laner is Chaowei, a rising star in LCK's mechanical prowess, while the bot laner Viper is also quite skilled, and Tazan is a top jungler in LCK.

The Sword Emperor in the top lane is a bit weak, but not too bad either; he's still a top-tier blue-collar top laner.

But to cvMax's surprise, they couldn't even survive the early laning phase.

"There's no other way; we have to use our trump card now!"

cvMax shook his head and said helplessly.

If they keep hiding like this, Griffin will be down 2-0. At that point, it won't be about hiding tactics anymore, it'll be about hiding plane tickets!
Ten minutes passed quickly.

"Hello, viewers both live and online! Welcome back!"

"This is the venue for the quarterfinals of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship – Madrid, Spain!"

"I'm Wawa, the commentator for this match!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I remember!"

"Now the match has progressed to the third game, and our EDG team has the match point."

"At the same time, this is a matter of life and death for GRF!"

"We can see that EDG played very well in the first two games."

"In the first game, Kshine's jungler picked Qiyana, and the mid, top and jungle players coordinated strongly, directly breaking through GRF's three lanes."

"In the second game, EDG picked Karthus as their jungle carry in reverse, dominating the entire game and perfectly demonstrating what a hexagonal jungle carry jungler is!"

"However, it seems that GRF Griffin has adjusted their form well, and they have not been affected by the losses in the first two games."

"Hopefully they can deliver a fantastic match in the third game."

The three commentators spoke in a relaxed tone, casually rambling on.

In fact, not only them, but everyone watching the game could see that all five members of GRF were extremely nervous and their faces were not looking good.

But according to the commentator, he was in good form.

Meanwhile, the players from both sides have already entered the competition area.

"Ahhh! EDG!"

Go EDG!

"Go! Go! Go! We must win this decisively, 3-0! Come on!"

"..."

The moment the EDG team appeared, the chat section of the LPL live stream erupted in excitement.

Just then, the director on the scene announced that the match was about to begin.

"Alright, both teams' players are now ready. Let's look forward to the exciting third match between EDG and GRF!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen switched to the BP interface.

In this game, EDG had the first choice of side, and they directly chose the blue side.

The blue side has the right to ban and pick first, and in this version, due to the presence of champions like Kayle, Pantheon, and Qiyana, they are almost always banned by the red side.

"This match is a do-or-die situation for GRF. Let's see if they come up with any tricks or strategies during the draft phase?"

I remember saying it with some curiosity.

BP starts.

GRF didn't hesitate at all, banning Pantheon and Kayle in their first two picks.

Then, GRF hesitated for a long time before deciding to ban Wang Yao's Karthus.

There was no way around it; Wang Yao's Karthus jungle clearing rhythm was almost perfect.

A Karthus with six full items in 25 minutes – anyone who watches this will be terrified!
EDG, on the other hand, is still using the same old tactics.

They immediately banned Renekton, LeBlanc, and Akali, denying GRF's top laner Sword and mid laner Chaowei any chance to perform.

"Oh? EDG really did ban Chaowei's LeBlanc and Akali, and Sword Emperor's Renekton!"

"In the first two games EDG won, we could see that GRF's Chovy and Sword were completely silent."

“EDG was determined to ban top and mid lane champions like Renekton and LeBlanc, who can carry the game in the early to mid-game.”

The baby said with a smile.

"GRF banned Kayle, Pantheon, and Karthus, but left Qiyana open!"

Miller said with delight.

"Yes, it all depends on whether EDG takes it or not! I feel like they definitely will!"

"Kshine's performance with Qiyana in the first game was evident to everyone, there's no need not to pick it!"

Remember to agree.

"Oh! As expected, EDG locked in Qiyana on the first floor instantly!"

On the field at that moment, as soon as Qiyana was released, Coach Maokai locked her down immediately.

As for who it's for, we'll talk about that later.

Anyway, Qiyana can also be played in the mid-jungle duo.

Immediately afterwards, GRF locked down two heroes on the first and second floors.

Immediately, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Garen! Kitty!
"Huh? Here it comes! GRF is pulling out all the stops in the match point game!"

When the doll saw GRF's choice, she burst out laughing.

"This? This is match point! Why would GRF develop some kind of unconventional strategy for a game like this?! If they lose, they're really going home!"

Miller was completely baffled.

"Maybe the regular lineup just can't beat EDG! They have to resort to unconventional tactics!"

I remember making up a reason for the GRF team.

But fun is fun, and joking around is joking around.

Garen and Yuumi are actually a viable combination, and in fact, they're a popular bot lane duo in the current version of Season 9.

Even in the group stage, the European team FNC used the Garen and Yuumi bot lane combination and won!
In the Garen-Yuumi combo, Garen plays the AD carry role, while Yuumi plays the support role.

But actually, the cat is the real main character!

Don't think that cats can only be cute. Things like "most beautiful pendant" and "buy one get one free" in group purchases seem useless.

However, the harm caused by cats is actually quite high.

Moreover, it doesn't rely too much on equipment. With healing and control abilities, as long as the host is chosen well, the cat can definitely be a carry.

Garen's biggest weakness is his short range, making him easy for the enemy to kite.

The advantage is that as long as you can get close, you can silence, spin, and execute. In addition, there is the damage reduction of the W skill and the passive recovery, making the ability to stay in lane very strong.

But when these two heroes are combined, they can produce unexpected results.

The cat can attach itself to Garen, giving him speed boosts and healing. Combined with Garen's own damage reduction, he might be able to charge into a crowd and run around without dying.

In the game that FNC won, Yuumi even dealt the highest damage in the entire match!

This combination is somewhat similar to the previous Gem and Sona combination, as both of them need to wear pay-to-win outfits.

Garen should bring Flash and Ghost, while Yuumi should bring Heal and Exhaust, or Ignite or something similar.

By the mid-game, this combination is fast and deals considerable damage!

If facing a standard ADC, Garen can complete a full item around the ten-minute mark.

In contrast, the equipment for ADCs in games is generally quite expensive, and they only have a set of individual pieces.

This is when a typical ADC is truly struggling, unable to deal damage or clear minion waves.

That was truly a living hell; laning in the bottom lane was no different from being in prison!
