Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 486 Don't look down on the old man.

How did we get him to develop like this?

Looking at the top lane bush, there was the female police officer who had helped her teammates kill three people in a row, and finally had her last bit of health worn down by Zyra's small plants before collapsing from exhaustion, with her terrifying score of 5/1/5.

The two SKT junglers, who arrived late, looked at each other blankly, with Bengi's eyes full of question marks.

We got the first kill in the bottom lane, so why is he being treated like a god of war?
Deft looked up at the sky, as if to say, "Don't ask me, I have no ability to stop the world's number one ADC."

He has been pressured by nearly forty stabs, and the difference in their combat records is quite significant.

It's clear that Fan Hua changed their playstyle this game. They no longer relied on mid-jungle synergy as they did in the quarterfinals, but instead returned to their most familiar rhythm, which revolves around the bottom lane as the absolute core.

With this change, Fan Hua immediately returned to her comfort zone.

They may not have a significant tactical advantage when facing SKT, but at least they are playing more effectively.

It's no exaggeration to say that the mid and jungle players were actually a bit behind at the beginning of this game.

Not long after the start of the game, Mo Fan was ambushed in the red buff area and gave up the first blood. Then Bengi took the opportunity to rotate to the mid lane, and Faker, the support, caught Xi Ye's Dragon King. It was a standard disastrous start.

Even in the bottom lane, it was Deft and Keria who took the initiative. Deft set up a sniper position, taking advantage of the small size of Caitlyn's model and the large gaps in her defense, and managed to kill Sun Zheping's Karma once under Zhang Jiale's cover.

Although Fan Hua put up a counterattack in the middle and upper ranks, they still had a significant advantage overall. It looked like they were about to have a dream start with a 2-0 lead, and they could even dream of replicating the quarterfinals and sending Fan Hua home with another 3-0 victory.

But as it turns out, the old folks aren't so easy to handle.

The last BO5 saw the young players charging into battle, but this time, the veterans are going to step up their game.

First, Zhao Yang made a timely gank in the mid lane, and together with the mid and jungle who were in extremely poor form, they successfully killed Faker, breaking the opponent's momentum of development.

Then, together with Xiye, who reciprocated, they ganked the top lane and took down Khan's Fiora.

With a kill and an assist, he managed to turn the tide after Xiye was caught and killed.

Fifteen minutes later, Fanhua gathered four players to try and push the bottom lane tower, but SKT's five players counter-ganked them. They thought they could easily take it down, but Fanhua immediately resisted by relying on the bushes.

When Zhao Yang teleported in, he unleashed his ultimate skill, and the world crumbled...

The final result was a two-for-four exchange.

After being thoroughly thrashed by the old man in the top lane, the SKT players scratched their heads and quickly made a decision to target the top lane.

But they didn't notice that another old guy, who had managed to snag a kill and two assists and was still alive, was starting to act like a jerk in the bottom lane.

During this time, Bengi successfully killed Rumble once, and just as he was about to try the same trick a second time, he happened to run into the bot lane duo rotating to the top lane.

As a result, Ueno not only gave away two lives, but also gave them all to Zhang Jiale, who was just passing by.

Looking at the Caitlyn with a 3/0/4 score and a 20-CS lead, Deft, who hadn't even reached the top lane yet, felt a chill run down his spine.

Do you think I'm going to have to fight this thing next?

Sure enough, not long after, the policewoman, who was left unattended, made SKT pay a heavy price.

Faker, along with Keria, used Ryze to gank top lane three times, coordinating with Khan and the other two. At that moment, there were only two players in the top lane, and the other three couldn't arrive in time, creating a perfect numerical advantage.

However, the two players on the top lane are currently the best-developed top laner and ADC.

Before Ryze could even get going, Zhao Yang's harpoon had already landed on Fiora. The 3/0 Caitlyn fired two shots, instantly vaporizing Fiora. Ryze and Zyra, who had just landed, could only use their abilities to quickly eliminate the weakened Rumble, but Caitlyn, standing nearby, had already gone berserk.

Using the bushes as cover, Ryze was first cleared out with a few simple shots, then he flashed to reposition himself and leave Zyra's ultimate range, before finishing her off with a few more shots.

If it weren't for the remaining plants that took away the policewoman's last bit of health, given the speed of the other two SKT members, she could have easily escaped.

Even if he didn't escape, this 5/1/5 female police officer was enough to give anyone who faced him a huge headache.

"Let's avoid their sharp edge first—oh no, Olaf is ahead!" Deft was halfway through his sentence, about to retreat back to his own territory along the line, when he saw a burly man wielding an axe and baring his teeth rush out of the bushes.

Mo Fan's aggressive play online finally gave him a chance to catch his breath, and he began to attack from all sides, roaming around the enemy jungle.

Undoubtedly, within their comfort zone, the members of Fan Hua have finally begun to dance gracefully.

SKT is helpless; they're currently facing another period of frantic running around...

……

Until the very end of the match, SKT was unable to find another opportunity to target the female police officer.

Even if SKT caught Xiye off guard and kicked out his resurrection armor first during the team fight, the well-equipped and in excellent condition Caitlyn was still beyond their ability to deal with.

Bengi, protected by his teammates, rampaged through the dragon pit and secured a quadra kill. Bengi even managed to peek into the pit before being caught and killed by the incredibly aggressive Zhang Jiale, who used Flash to his advantage.

Bathed in dragon blood, Fan Hua protected the policewoman in layers upon layers as they advanced, giving SKT no chance to harm her whatsoever.

Even though SKT managed to catch and kill Xiye, who was clearly not in good form, he was immediately brought back to reality by Caitlyn's double kill.

They didn't manage to pull off any amazing plays this round.

After the match, the cheers from the crowd carried a slight sense of relief.

SKT was too strong in the first game, so strong that they left the Chinese audience in a state of doubt after just one game.

They swept the European number one seed in the last BO5, so will they sweep them again in this BO5?

Thankfully, Fan Hua proved her worth; after losing the first game, she immediately turned the tide in the second.

After the hustle and bustle of the previous BO5, the experienced viewers weren't so excited as to celebrate Fan Hua's victory.

They could also see that the hero selection in the previous game was almost entirely within their comfort zone, which could be considered their most reliable lineup style.

If we could win three consecutive games against SKT using this strategy, that would be great. But the problem is that it's unlikely that SKT will win three games in a row with the same tactics.

There will definitely be corresponding measures.

After that, what else can Fan Hua come up with to deal with the situation?
"I'm really looking forward to their performance." KkOma said with a smile, offering simple words of comfort and praise for the players' commendable play in the previous game.

"They'll get past us first." On the other side, Lü Liang spat into the trash can, his eyes filled with malice.

It's no exaggeration to say that at this stage, it's almost like a siege.

SKT's massive army is pressing in, but Fan Hua is holding firm in its defensive position.

It all depends on whether this city becomes Diaoyutai or Maginot Line.
