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

Chapter 620 An Arrow Piercing the Clouds! They're back! They're all back!
It's clear that the audience is quite accepting of this move.

It's just using E skill to scout the jungler, no big deal!

of course.

What the audience might consider a small matter is quite significant to G2.

"The bot lane can't get any experience. It's hard to even stand under the tower. The Prince is in the bottom half of the map. G2's bot lane duo can only retreat one after the other. They're going to lose another wave of minions, and a tower plate has been taken down!"

"The mid lane is also having a tough time. Syndra is holding the lane, and Akali doesn't dare to recall yet. She's afraid the jungler will force a gank!"

The disruption of G2's jungle rhythm directly worsened their already unfavorable situation!
And this seemed to be just the beginning of a nightmare.

Four and a half minutes.

With Jiejie having completely wiped out his own bottom half of the map, Jonkos cautiously slipped into EDG's top half, hoping to catch up in terms of development.

That's when.

Another streak of light flew straight in from the bottom lane!

Phew——!
The falcon exploded, illuminating the scorpion below once again!
"Jonkos's whereabouts have been discovered again!"

Amid the commentator's exclamations, Jonkos froze, staring at the rock golem in front of him, unsure whether to attack or not.

To be honest, at that moment he really wanted to ask: Is this guy crazy? Is he really targeting him?!

And just as he hesitated.

Ahead, Flandre, who had already pushed Wunder back under the tower, was already rushing back with his cannon in hand!

It's obvious they want to eat scorpion meat!
"Jayce is coming! Jarvan IV is also ganking from behind! This Skarner situation is very dangerous; his teammates won't be able to get there in time!"

Under such circumstances.

"Electric energy surges!"

A powerful Q shot was fired from Jayce's cannon, hitting Scorpion precisely from a distance of a thousand yards!
Jonkos's eye twitched. He flashed over the wall, intending to hit the Blast Fruit and fly down into the Dragon Pit to escape.

A level 4 Scorpion facing a level 5 Jayce? The outcome is obvious!
Unfortunately, Flandre was clearly determined to kill him this time, giving him no chance at all.

"Jace dodged over the wall too! One basic attack took down the Blast Cone! That means Scorpion can't escape now!!"

Looking at Jayce in front of him and his teammates who were still pushing their lanes, a hint of despair flashed in Jonkos's eyes.

No suspense.

Five seconds later.

"EDG's Flandre has killed G2's Jonkos!"

The scorpion's corpse lay on the ground unwillingly.

Correspondingly, Jess, carrying his cannon, headed towards the line with satisfaction.

"Jayce has successfully secured the kill! In that case, G2's rhythm will be in a very bad way."

As Colonel Guan spoke, his expression became somewhat strange:
"However, the fact that these scorpions were discovered was indeed beyond our expectations. I guess even Jonkos himself didn't expect it."

As for why it was discovered...

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to Ashe, who was still in the bottom lane as if nothing had happened, helping Xayah push the lane.

"Forehead."

I remember stroking my chin and analyzing in a very serious manner:
"I suddenly realized that there's a reason why Ashe's E skill has such a long cooldown. In some people's hands, this skill is indeed a bit overpowered."

Beside him, Colonel Guan and Wang Duoduo both nodded subconsciously, seemingly agreeing with the statement.

Ashe's E skill, at level 1, has a recharge time of 90 seconds and only has two charges!
As a purely functional skill with no damage or control, its long cooldown makes it seem like a useless skill to many.

But today, everyone inexplicably feels that this skill is too outrageous.

Isn’t it outrageous?
Two casual E skills almost wiped out Jonkos!

No, to be precise, Jonkos' jungle rhythm has already collapsed after these two waves.

At least until level six, this scorpion is unlikely to make any more noise!
At this moment, the chat in the LPL official live stream was filled with a dense barrage of comments.

"Wow, those two E's, Little Sheep's mentality is about to explode, right?"

"Damn, the previous arrow could be explained as helping Flandre defend against ganks, but what's with this one?!"

"While new viewers are still wondering why, veteran viewers are already asking questions!"

"I'll say it again, Yao-ge's god is the god of gods! Understand?"

"..."

On the player bench.

If we were to rate the previous blow to one's mentality as a 5 out of 10, then...

So this wave deserves at least 9 points!
It's quite obvious that Jonkos is currently experiencing a mental breakdown.

Or rather, anyone would collapse under his leadership!
For junglers, especially in high-level games, positional information is extremely important, not to mention that this is a professional game, even a top-level professional game!
In this kind of match, whichever jungler makes a mistake first and is detected by the opponent, will put their side at a disadvantage!
And this time...

He clearly didn't make any mistakes, but his whereabouts were still completely tracked by the other side!

And all of this was simply because the enemy support Ashe used her E skill twice...

In this situation, any jungler would probably be tilted to the point of collapse!
"Don't worry."

Just as Jonkos was wearing a mask of pain, Caps spoke up in time:
"These are just two accidents. Once we reach level six, we'll find an opportunity to get back at them."

Jonkos turned to look at him, and although he had a lot to say, he finally nodded: "I understand."

Level 6 is indeed a watershed moment for their lineup.

Whether it's Irelia in the top lane or Akali in the mid lane, their laning strength will undergo a qualitative change after level six!

Even the scorpion he plays is the same; once it has its ultimate, its ganking ability will increase dramatically!

but……

This is based on the premise that the gap between the two sides was not significant in the early stages!

Look at the current situation!

Although the head-to-head ratio is only 0-2, the economy is bad, so it's estimated that it has already reached more than a thousand or even close to two thousand!

Especially in the bottom lane, it's practically impossible to play there!

Last hitting, tower plates, level—we're lagging behind in every aspect!
In this situation, it's extremely difficult to gain momentum unless the opponent gives you an opportunity.

So the question is, will EDG give them a chance?
The old EDG might have done that, but now...

At least in Jonkos's opinion, after that person came on, it wasn't the same team at all!
On the field.

The game continues.

five minutes.

With Jonkos' Skarner being caught and killed, and with their own bot lane having an absolute lane advantage, Jiejie started the fight as soon as the dragon spawned and easily secured it.

Five minutes and forty seconds.

In the mid lane, Scout's Syndra reached level six first, using Flash and Ignite without reservation, and finally used his stealth Q to secure a kill on Caps under the tower!

Akali suffered a fatal blow before she could even reach her power spike.

Seven minutes.

Hit the road.

After a skirmish, Wunder's Irelia was forced to recall and used Teleport back to lane.

As soon as they landed, Jiejie's Prince appeared from the side and, together with Flandre, tower-dived, causing them to lose everything in one fell swoop!
Two more layers of plating were eaten away along with the tower!
"Hey, G2's performance isn't quite right."

Guan Daxiao pushed up his glasses: "It feels like their overall rhythm is very chaotic right now. They're being completely led by EDG. If they continue like this, the gap will only widen!"

On the side, Ji De nodded and said, "The main problem is that their jungler can't get into a rhythm. Jonkos seems to have been farming for the past few minutes, and the rhythm of the game has fallen entirely into EDG's hands."

To put it simply, G2 is currently in a state of being somewhat stunned by the beating.

The jungler, who should be setting the pace, has lost his own rhythm.

They have consistently been at a disadvantage in online matches.

In this situation, EDG can almost find any opportunity to break through!

And clearly, they are aware of this themselves. The only problem is that even if they are aware of it, it is difficult to change it!

Jonkos, in particular, is now a little apprehensive wherever he goes, fearing that a falcon might suddenly fly in from the bottom lane again!
at last.

Seven minutes and forty seconds.

"Is G2 trying to make a move on the mid lane?!"

Colonel Guan raised his voice:

"Scout doesn't have Flash, and Skarner has his ultimate! If he gets caught, Scout won't have any room to maneuver! And Jarvan IV is still in the bottom lane, he can't get here in time!"

On the field.

Jonkos crouched on one side of the riverbank wall, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

He only breathed a sigh of relief and started making plays after he saw Scout walk out of the tower and start pushing the lane, and no arrows or anything suddenly flew into the bottom lane.

"Here they come! This wave of scorpions is flanking us!"

"Scout reacted quickly, using his E skill, Scatter Vulnerability, to stun Akali and retreat towards the river, but... he can't escape!"

"The scorpion accelerates to catch up, use E skill to slow it down, then use the ultimate to catch it and it's over!"

In team voice chat.

Scout sighed as he played, "Aigoo, I might lose this round."

He had barely finished speaking when Wang Yao's voice rang out: "Duoduo, give him W to slow him down."

"what?"

Before Scout could react, he saw a crystal arrow flying from off-screen in the corner of his eye!

In the commentary box.

The three official commentators also realized what was happening at this point.

"Hey, that's a powerful move! Could it be...?"

Jonkos also noticed the arrow that had come from thousands of miles away and instinctively tried to move aside.

At the same time, Scout in front used W to lift an orb and smashed it into him with his backhand, slowing him down!
More importantly, Jonkos had already used Flash when he was caught in the upper jungle earlier! Finally.

Under the watchful eyes of countless spectators and the players on the field.

boom--!
The scorpion, which seemed to be just a hair's breadth away from dodging, was ultimately hit!
The arrow shattered, and the scorpion was stunned and unable to move!

"Hit the target!! A single arrow pierces the clouds, bringing us from a thousand miles away!"

Remembering the sound instantly rose an octave:
"Jonkos got stunned! My god, Scout escaped death! He even has a chance to turn the tables!!"

On the field, Scout took this opportunity to start his own play.

Although this wasn't the maximum distance, with Ashe's ultimate stun lasting less than 3.5 seconds, flying from the bottom lane to the upper mid lane river is still quite a distance.

In other words, Ashe's ultimate skill has a control duration of at least two seconds!

This amount of time is more than enough for Scout to make a lot of decisions!

QA deals damage, and then continues to reposition to create distance.

Just as Jonkos broke free from control and tried to turn around and move away, another predicted Q landed!

Immediately afterwards, the ultimate skill's energy poured out and was unleashed!

Then, he left without looking back!

"EDG-Scout has killed G2-Jonkos!"

A system kill notification appears.

On the field, the scorpion's corpse fell to the ground again.

"They turned the tables!"

Remember to shout loudly: "G2 tried to gank one-on-one, but Scout managed to kill one and escape!!"

Beside him, Colonel Guan shrugged and added, "The main reason is that Ashe's ultimate in the bottom lane came at just the right time, and Skarner didn't have Flash, which can be considered a foreshadowing of what happened when he was caught in the jungle earlier."

"But I have to say, this wave... G2 might be a bit overwhelmed."

This wave is clearly more than just 'somewhat' explosive.

G2 made moves in the mid lane, and EDG did the same in the bottom lane!

As I said before, in matches between top teams, when one side gains momentum, the other side will inevitably try to regain momentum elsewhere!

Just like right now.

While G2's jungler was making moves in the mid lane, Jiejie was already lurking in the bottom lane!

"Bottom lane! Another dive in the bottom lane! The Prince has suddenly appeared from behind, cutting off G2's bot lane duo's escape route!"

"There's no way to escape this wave, and Jhin doesn't have Flash, plus he's not in good condition to begin with. It feels like he's definitely going to die!"

Amidst the enthusiastic commentary.

In the bottom lane, a brutal tower dive has begun.

It's important to understand that after being ganked early in the game, G2's bot lane was already in disarray, completely unable to compete in lane.

Now, almost eight minutes in, the CS ratio between the two AD carries is 29:71!

The tower's skin has already been devoured by EDG, who have taken away four whole layers without anyone noticing!
Needless to say, the difference in levels is even greater.

The G2 duo still have a long way to go before reaching level six!
How big is this gap?

Let's say that.

Wang Yao's Frost alone can chase down and stun two opponents!

While the audience's attention was drawn to the battle in the mid and top lanes, EDG had already quietly cleared the bottom lane!

"He's in! He's knocked the enemy into the air! Rakan countered with a W to control the Prince, but! The damage from EDG's three-man focus fire is too high!"

"Jhin is dead! Rakan is probably doomed too! EDG is switching players to tank the tower. Rakan is trying to fight back, hiding behind the tower, but it's no use, Xayah has her ultimate!"

With Ah Shui's final basic attack, Luo's health bar was emptied!

Just as the turret was about to unleash its final attack on Xayah, she used her ultimate to take off, break free of the lock, and land gracefully!
"EDG-Jackylove has killed G2-perkz!"

"EDG-Jackylove has killed G2-Mikyx!"

"Double Kill!"

The system prompted that the page had been refreshed.

Ah Shui nonchalantly turned back to continue attacking the tower, preparing to take down the tower that already had less than one health point left.

"Xia secured a double kill!"

Remember to shout loudly: "EDG has successfully ganked G2's bot lane duo again! And they're going to take down the first turret this time!"

Without a doubt, this was another textbook example of a smooth and flawless tower dive!
Pushing the lane, taking turns tanking damage, getting kills, and pushing towers—it was all done in one smooth motion!
If I had to describe it, it would probably only be four words: pleasing to the eye!

This can be understood by listening to the cheers from the audience.

This brutal fighting style is undoubtedly what the audience loves most.

"If this wave is over, it feels like G2's chances are a bit slim."

As Colonel Guan analyzed the situation, he shrugged and said, "I can't find any way to turn things around."

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.

Same time period, same rhythm.

G2 attempted a gank in the mid lane, but not only did they fail to achieve anything, their jungler was also killed in the process.

On the other hand, EDG executed another perfect tower dive in the bottom lane, allowing JackeyLove to secure a double kill and also lose the first tower.

After this wave, the economic gap between the two sides has widened to nearly four thousand!

Keep in mind, this has only been eight minutes!

At this point in time, the economic situation is so dire that it can be said to have completely collapsed!
Wang Duoduo carefully considered his words and said, "Actually, G2 is also actively looking for opportunities, but their rhythm has been disrupted several times. There's nothing they can do about it..."

At this point, the three official commentators exchanged glances, each with a different expression.

What can be done?

Who would have thought that a jungler from a top professional team would be defeated by those seemingly insignificant Ashe E skill and ultimate?
After a few arrows, if Jonkos wasn't in a good mood, he probably would have exploded on the spot!

G2 players' bench.

This team, which was known for its optimistic spirit, is clearly losing its optimism.

To reiterate, while G2 is known for its unconventional tactics, this team actually has an extremely strong desire to win.

This MSI was their stage to prove themselves.

However, the more challenging the situation, the greater the pressure will undoubtedly be.

"call!"

Jonkos couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his face, letting out a long breath: "Stay calm, there's still a chance, there's still a chance."

"Correct."

Caps nodded seriously: "There's still a chance. Our lineup has an advantage in team fights in the late game."

It wasn't just the two of them.

Ah P and the others nearby also chimed in with a few words of encouragement.

Regardless of whether there's still a chance this time, at least for now, we need to stabilize morale!

Unfortunately, in professional competitions, especially at higher levels, it is often the most difficult to turn the tide.

On the field.

"EDG's bot lane duo has switched to the mid lane, so G2's mid tower plating might also be lost."

"Top lane! Another exchange of blows under the tower. Irelia is already low on health. She has to recall now, or she might get tower-dived and killed!"

"The second dragon spawned, and as expected, G2 chose to give it up directly, so EDG can easily take it."

"Then we'll have to give up this wave of the vanguard. Neither the mid nor top laners have lane priority, so even if Jonkos sees it, he won't dare to go over."

"..."

One piece of bad news after another was shouted out by the commentators.

A little over eleven minutes.

Jiejie released the Rift Herald in the top lane, helping Flandre destroy the top tower, which already had only two health points left.

Twelve and a half minutes.

In the mid lane, Ah Shui and Wang Yao, relying on their absolute laning advantage, easily took down the opponent's mid tower.

At this point, all three towers on G2's lanes have been destroyed!
"EDG took all 15 layers of tower plating!"

As he spoke, Colonel Guan couldn't help but sigh, "All I can say is, this is EDG's offensive rhythm."

Beside him, Ji De and Wang Duoduo both nodded in agreement.

From start to finish, EDG's offensive was almost continuous, wave after wave, giving G2 no chance to breathe!
This kind of unreasonable, suffocating offense and flawless operational style is the style that they think EDG should have!

It has to be said that since entering S10, everyone has noticed that EDG's offensive rhythm is no longer as strong as before.

A match often drags on for more than 30 minutes before it ends.

There could be many reasons for this.

For example, Wang Yao's substitution, or the version changes, or even the research of various teams on EDG's style, as well as the instability of the players' performance, etc.

After all, Flandre is no longer the Flandre of his peak. After winning the S8 championship, his performance has declined year by year. This year, he can only be described as a top-tier blue-collar top laner.

He can't be considered a top-tier all-around top laner.

Jiejie lacks experience and relies heavily on his teammates' ability to cover for him. As long as someone can support him, he can perform at 120% or even 200% of his potential.

The factory manager and the factory director share the same attribute.

In short, EDG's dominance in S10 was significantly lower than it was during their peak in S8.

Some are even worried that EDG's reign this year might end, just like T1's.

But...now!
They're all back!
