LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

Rita sensed something was wrong: "Top Esports' top and jungle got counter-killed! GEN seems to be able to take Baron. Camille has Teleport, so she can go back first and then Teleport out."

"Top Esports' duo is climbing the ranks, but Hao Xiang couldn't stop them in time!"

The GEN fans at the scene were already going wild: "GEN! GEN! GEN!"

In the official live stream room, the chat was filled with messages:

Do you even understand what operation means?

GEN's performance is superior to Top Esports'.

[69 classics fail, but we're used to it.]

[It feels like we're really going to be turned around.]

On TES's side, Xiaotian took the blame: "It's my fault. I thought I could turn the tables, but the other side outplayed me."

Meiko reassured him, "It's alright, we'll take the next wave. It's too late to regret it now."

Kiin's Camille recalled to base to replenish her supplies, while her teammates had already entered the Baron pit and started fighting immediately.

Camille passed the TP.

The commentator said, "Unfortunately, the dragon hasn't spawned yet; it seems like this dragon belongs to Gen."

"What a pity. If it had come up earlier, I could have accepted it even if I had gotten a winning hand."

Miller analyzed: "The biggest problem now is that Camille has such a big advantage. If she gets the Baron buff and pushes the lane, she can at least push one lane. GEN won't even need to fight."

"Once one lane is pushed down, Camille can continue to split push and win the game by playing a strategic game. It will be difficult for Top Esports to seize the opportunity."

At this moment, the TES duo continued to push the minion wave in the mid lane, intending to push down the opponent's mid lane tower to stop the damage.

Just then, Lü Yi's voice came: "Get in! What are you doing in the mid lane? Go to the Baron pit!"

Meiko was taken aback: "Huh? Are we still going to engage this time? There are only three of us."

Lü Yi replied, "Three people can fight too, let's go quickly."

Ah Shui got excited: "Okay, I'll take this wave."

Lu Yi had already reached the vicinity of the mid lane and headed straight for the Dragon Pit with the duo.

Wawa sensed something was wrong: "Should we go over there? It's a 3v5! And there's no jungler. If Irelia gives away a big kill, the economy will really explode."

Rita had a different opinion: "I don't think it's that hopeless. You can see from Yi Shen's performance that it's not entirely hopeless."

At this moment, inside the Baron pit, five members of GEN were fighting Baron.

Seeing that Dao Mei was coming with her people, they saw an opportunity!

"Irelia! Irelia!" Chovy marked Lü Yi with a kill.

However, Canyon remained calm and reminded her, "Save your skills for Samira, otherwise she can finish them off."

Upon hearing this, Chovy realized that he had been too hasty.

The last wave was aimed at Irelia, but Samira ended up cutting her down.

"I have Flash and my ultimate, I'll initiate." Lehends was already prepared to initiate.

Being trapped in a narrow place like the Big Dragon Pit would be very disadvantageous for them.

Irelia's ultimate ability is extremely lethal when used in this situation.

Therefore, it's best to take the initiative and fight outside the dragon pit.

On TES's side, JackeyLove threw out a blue trinket, revealing the positions of the five opposing players.

Lu Yi approached the Dragon Pit and placed a ward through the wall.

Almost simultaneously, Titan flashed out and used his ultimate on Lü Yi, hitting Lü Yi's Irelia with a hook!
Doll exclaimed, "This time GEN chose to initiate the team fight! Irelia was controlled, Senna followed up with a W skill, and Twisted Fate gave her a yellow card through the wall. Although Irelia activated her W skill in advance, she was still losing health quite quickly."

Camille didn't rush in; he was waiting for Samira to rush in and make a mistake.

Ah Shui's Samira chose to focus on attacking the Titan first, rather than rushing in to finish him off.

Meiko's Riel uses her W skill to enter the fray, followed by her ultimate!

Help Lü Yi out of a predicament.

"Ionia, may you never perish!" Lü Yi's Irelia followed up with her ultimate, hitting the crowd-controlled Nautilus, and unleashing her attack!

Rita passionately commented, "Irelia's ultimate is on! It slows down Senna and Twisted Fate. Should Irelia engage? But her health is very low. If Camille gets a full combo, she's doomed!"

Lü Yi didn't rush in; instead, Samira went in!

Samira used her E skill to enter the fray, seemingly ready to reap the rewards.

However, the moment he entered the arena, Camille kicked Samira unconscious and followed up with AQA.

Miller sensed something was wrong: "We're doomed! Samira was too impulsive. Camille has been waiting for him to enter the arena, why was she in such a hurry to enter? Wasn't she giving him an opportunity?"

"GEN suddenly changed their target, this time it's Samira, and Riel is also going to be taken down. Top Esports is about to collapse in this team fight."

However, just when everyone thought TES would lose, the scene above showed a double-edged sword! Lü Yi controlled the enemy Camille and Senna, preventing Camille from landing her fatal kick!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Samira entered the fray and unleashed her ultimate move!
Miller exclaimed, "Samira successfully entered the fray and unleashed her ultimate! The damage was explosive! Senna used Flash and crashed into a wall! She was killed by Samira's ultimate, and Irelia used her Q skill to enter the fray. The two of them are now in a dragon's lair!"

[TES, Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN, Peyz (Soul Cleanser)!!!]

"Irelia gets close to Twisted Fate, Twisted Fate switches cards, it's too late, Flash to the Dragon Pit, Irelia doesn't follow up, Kayn's ultimate comes out from Samira's body, can we trade kills?"

"Kayn finishes with Q... Samira uses Flash to kite, turns around to deal damage, Irelia comes to help, Kayn can't hold on either! Camille takes down Riel."

[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN's Canyon (Shadow Reaper)!!!]

[GEN, Kiin (Camille) has killed TES, Meiko (Meiko)!!!]

Doll chimed in, "Camille is in a hurry. Only he can take down Irelia and Samira right now. Nautilus uses his hook on Irelia, Camille follows up with her Q, and Irelia uses Double Blade to control both of them!"

"Samira continues to deal damage, unleashing her ultimate again! Two ultimates in one team fight, GEN is doomed!"

[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN's Lehends (Deep Sea Titan)!!!]

[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has killed GEN's Kiin (Camille)!!!]

Rita exclaimed, "Irelia and Samira covered for each other and fought side by side, and they actually won this team fight! Don't underestimate the synergy between Top Esports' two carries!"

"Of course, Meiko's sacrifice was also crucial. His control bought time for the two carries. Now GEN's team fights are a bit chaotic. They need to target both Irelia and Samira at the same time, but they failed to control either of them."

At this point, the dragon still had over 2,000 health points, and Lü Yi and A Shui attacked it together.

Xiao Tian cheered, "Nice, very nice, awesome!"

369 exclaimed, "Is this the Top Esports duo? They're amazing!"

Meiko laughed and said, "You're only finding out now?"

The director gave a close-up of the GEN members' expressions, and they were truly speechless.

They had seen a glimmer of hope for a comeback, but who would have thought that they couldn't win a five-on-three battle!
The game continued, with TES pushing the minion wave, taking the buff, and then grouping up in the mid lane to push forward.

On GEN's side, Camille pushed the lane alone while the others grouped up to defend in the mid lane.

Seeing the enemy Camille pushing the lane, Lü Yi commanded, "I'll go in right away, you guys follow."

Xiao Tian replied, "No problem, ready to harvest at any time!"

The minion wave reached the enemy's mid-lane tower. GEN's four players cleared the wave first, but Twisted Fate and Sai had a hard time clearing it.

Meanwhile, Camille pushed the top lane minion wave over, threatening the top lane inhibitor.

Miller commented, "GEN seems to be planning to use Camille to split push and buy time, ideally to get the Baron buff." "Top Esports should either engage decisively or retreat, otherwise they'll just give up their top lane inhibitor for nothing."

Just then, the next wave of minions from the opposing team arrived.

Lu Yi's Irelia immediately took action!
"on!"

The Irelia used her Q to approach the enemy backline and then decisively unleashed her ultimate!

"Ionia, high and everlasting!"

The ultimate ability hits the enemy Titan, triggering a 1-second attack.
Titan attempted a RQ combo, but Irelia turned around and Q'd a minion, dodging Titan's hook and using her W skill to withstand the first wave of damage.

The commentator, Wawa, passionately remarked: "Irelia's ultimate slows down all four enemies in front of her, teammates follow up! Camille teleports to the turret, this team fight is a turret dive, should we really engage?"

"But Irelia has already been knocked up by Nautilus's ultimate. He can't escape unscathed; he has to fight!"

Ryle uses her W skill to enter the fray and activates her ultimate, which can only hit the enemy Titan.

No problem, TES chose to start from the front line. Rumble's ultimate blocked the way, keeping the GEN members who wanted to run away!
Lu Yi's Twin Blades hit the Titan, triggering Blood Hand, allowing him to withstand the tower's damage while attacking the Titan.

Finally, the Ruined King used his ultimate ability to pierce the Titan's soul and take its head!
[TES' Tian (King of the Ruined King) has defeated GEN's Lehends (Nautilus)!!!]

The doll exclaimed, "He picked it up! Blade of the Ruined King picked it up! Camille teleported to the ground, Blade of the Ruined King's hook hit Senna, Samira entered the fray, and unleashed her ultimate!"

"Twisted Fate's yellow card was blocked, that's it, the damage output is explosive! Camille kicked over, but it was blocked by Irelia, Samira's ultimate wasn't interrupted, GEN is doomed!"

[TES, Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN, Peyz (Soul Cleanser)!!!]

Team fights turned into one-sided massacres, with Samira reaping kills and the Ruined King collecting souls.

Although Camille used her ultimate on Samira, there wasn't enough time for her to help deal damage.

Canyon's Kayn had just used his ultimate when he was caught by Irelia's Twin Blades, and Samira secured the kill!
[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN's Canyon (Shadow Reaper)!!!]

Camille was next! She didn't even have time to unleash a second set of skills before being focused down and instantly killed!

[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has killed GEN's Kiin (Camille)!!!]

Chovy's Twisted Fate is sprinting, trying to escape.

However, Blademaster picked up Camille's soul, used his E skill Hookshot to pull her to the wall, followed by his W Tactical Sweep, slowing her down, his ultimate, clearing the Spirit Visage, and then used W to control her with an AQ combo to secure the kill!
[TES' Tian (King of the Ruined King) has defeated GEN's Chovy (Twisted Fate)!!!]

Rita exclaimed, "They were all making plays! All five members of Top Esports were making plays! They're wiped out!"

"Top Esports has wiped out GEN and is pushing the mid lane minions; they're about to end the game!"

The entire TES fanbase erupted in cheers:

"Taobo! Taobo! Taobo!"

On the field, TES's team voice chat was in complete chaos.

Xiao Tian cheered, "Nice! We won!"

Meiko was shouting, "One wave, one wave! Just take down the tower, take down the tower and we'll win!"

369 grinned: "Nice, we're the champions!"

TES's five players pushed the mid lane minions and first took down the mid lane tower, then the second tower, and finally the mid lane high ground.

The enemy Titan has already respawned, but that's okay.

TES ignored the Titan and started destroying the tower after the minion wave pushed into it.

Titan threw a hook, hitting Irelia. Ryle controlled her, and the five of them focused fire, instantly killing her!

[TES' Jackeylove (Desert Rose) has defeated GEN's Lehends (Deep Sea Titan)!!!]

The commentator, Wawa, exclaimed, "She's gone berserk! Although Samira had a tough time laning in the early game, she went on a killing spree in two team fights and became a godlike player!"

"Two inhibitor turrets have fallen. Although GEN has respawned, it's too late to stop it. Congratulations to Top Esports for winning the 2024 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational!"

The match is over, and GEN's base crystal has exploded!

The TES members stood up from their chairs to celebrate.

The entire audience cheered: "Top Esports! Top Esports! Top Esports!"

"Yi Shen, the world's number one mid laner!"

"Who else?"

"we are the champion!"

The warhorses galloped up from the rest area and joined the celebration.

After the celebration, the TES players lined up and shook hands with GEN.

Lu Yi first met Kiin, who seemed alright at the time, without much emotion.

As expected of a mercenary, this was just a job for him. Now that it was done, it was time to go home.

Next up, jungler Canyon.

Canyon looked a bit frustrated, after all, he received a lot of criticism after joining GEN.

Many people say he is a traitor who has served three masters and betrayed his brothers.

He was trying to get good grades, but he didn't get them, so all the scolding was for nothing.

Next up, Chovy.

When Chovy saw Lü Yi approaching, she was quite polite and forced a smile.

It looks a bit awkward, I can only manage a wry smile.

Lu Yi teased, "Did you learn that from Lee Sang-hyeok? You're so polite?"

In Lü Yi's memory, Faker would always try his best to be polite and smile whenever he shook hands with him, and now Chovy seems to have learned that as well.

Chovy was taken aback, then said, "Isn't this what I should have learned from him?"

Lü Yi smiled, guessing it was a gradual influence; Chovy himself hadn't even realized it.

Chovy is probably the one in LCK who has studied Faker the most. Many people say that he eats and sleeps while playing Faker.

It's normal to be influenced by Faker.

Finally, there's the GEN duo, Peyz and Lehends.

After shaking hands with the GEN team, Lü Yi led his teammates towards the championship trophy.

The group surrounded the trophy, then together they lifted it up.

The atmosphere reached a fever pitch: "Top Esports! Top Esports! Top Esports!"

Then, the host came on stage and said, "Congratulations again to TES for winning the MSI championship."

Next came the awards ceremony, where Riot Games executives presented the awards to TES.

After the awards ceremony, the interview session began.

The host walked over to the TES team and said, "Now, let's interview this championship team. First up is GodYi, the FMVP of this MSI and TES's starting mid laner!"

Lu Yi took a microphone from the host and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I am GodYi."

The host began asking questions: "First question, Yi Shen, why did you choose Qiyana, an unpopular hero, in the second game? It seems like no one else uses her in the mid lane except you."

Lü Yi replied, "Because we can win the game." (End of Chapter)
