You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

"EDG Phi has killed T1 Faker!"

If every shout from the audience is a drop of water, then the Datong Center at this moment is an ocean with raging waves, the shouts so loud that they make your eardrums hurt!

On site, the North American commentators had gone completely crazy. The three loud-voiced commentators had become the most loyal followers of the Flying God, shouting loudly that the Flying God was great.

Song Xuan, who was in the top-floor private room, was stunned. He pressed his face against the glass and stared blankly at the screen in front of him.

This wasn't the first time Mingjing had solo-killed Faker today, but the shock this time brought to the audience was unparalleled!
Because this was a counter-kill, and a counter-kill from a sliver of health to a full health!

"What kind of operation is this?!" Miller's tone was incredibly exaggerated. "My God!"

Colonel Guan, having finished organizing his words, proclaimed loudly, "This is absolutely a counter-attack scene no less spectacular than the Double Thief battle! Ladies and gentlemen, today you and I may all be witnesses to history!"

Inside the LPL live stream, drums and firecrackers were already going off in a great commotion.

[Flying God! It's him again!]

[Dafei pulled me so hard I almost fainted, damn it!]

[The director is doing something stupid, where's the replay?]

【guide?】

[Is Riot's production team this bad too? Seize the opportunity to get into the factory!]

Because this battle took place consecutively in the middle and upper ranks, the replay was somewhat complicated.

The director finally received the replay footage after Mingjing returned to the city to resupply.

First, in the mid-lane, after various initiations and support from both sides, it was finally Lu Bu's DF double combo that led to him drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, piercing Viper's chest.

At this moment, the camera quickly zooms out to the top lane.

The royal city battle between Yone and Sylas then began.

First, Sylas unleashed a combo of crowd control and damage, but unfortunately, his damage output was slightly lacking, leaving Yone with a sliver of health and giving Yone the opportunity to showcase his skills.

Q knocks the enemy away and creates distance, W refreshes the shield to absorb [Chain Whip Strike], then uses the distance to kite and hits [Jade Slash] multiple times.

After knocking up the enemy with Q again, use A-Flash to create distance, then use the newly available W to perfectly withstand Sylas's EW combo, and then use E again to create distance.

"It's mainly that final control cancellation!" Colonel Guan almost knelt down when he saw Yone forcibly revive under Sylas's E. "That play was just too outrageous!"

It's no exaggeration to say that Yone was walking on the edge of a knife the whole time.

If any one of the operations is not perfect, it will result in instant death!

But Yone executed over a dozen perfect plays in a row, ultimately turning the tide and securing the victory!

In 2013, Faker's team SKT completed the first reverse sweep in League of Legends history, coming back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.

In the fifth game, Ryu and Faker both blind-picked Zed, a popular champion in the current meta, creating what is arguably the most memorable moment in League of Legends history – the Double Zed Battle.

Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye, and an epic comeback scene has reappeared on the field.

This time, Faker is the victim.

This is the changing of the times.

Before the crowd could even cheer for killing the Bomber, silence fell over T1's voice chat channel once again.

Seeing their eldest brother get solo killed again, the four younger members felt even more pressure than their eldest brother.
Faker watched the screen turn black and white, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Even someone as experienced as him wouldn't know how to appease the team in this situation.

Are you suggesting we take it slow and not rush?
His teammates have been performing exceptionally well, and they just secured a kill in the mid lane. It's him who needs to adjust.

Even Keria couldn't help but say at this point, "Let's try to play it safe, bro."

Faker didn't respond to these words, but he couldn't help but purse his lips.

"What are you saying!" Gumayusi stopped Keria's pressure tactics and said, "It's okay, bro, it's just one kill. We're still not at a loss this time. Keep it up!"

Without Lu Bu's double summons followed by a fatal arrow, T1 would have undoubtedly suffered a huge loss in this round.

It's just a one-for-one exchange now, which is perfectly acceptable.

At the very least, the economies of both sides are still even, and team battles are still a 50/50 affair.

Moreover, if it weren't for Faker's command, this kill wouldn't have even happened!
However, both Xiao Lu Bu and Oner used their Flash abilities in this wave, which may become a potential problem.

"Yeah, keep it up, bro!" Oner chimed in, "We need your leadership this game!"

"I'm fine." Faker finally chuckled. "I can only say that I really can't beat him."

"Actually, it was only a little short," Zeus also felt regretful.

"If he had dealt enough damage, this guy probably wouldn't have fought like that."

Faker shook his head. He knew that Phi's damage calculation was almost inhumanly accurate, but he didn't continue on that topic. He turned his attention back to the game. "Get ready for the dragon fight. I have Flash next time, I can engage."

In the next dragon fight, T1's Maokai and Varus didn't have Flash, and EDG's Yone didn't have Flash either, so from a summoner spell perspective, they were at a disadvantage.

However, T1 seems to have run out of options right now; they can no longer accept EDG taking the dragon.

In the blink of an eye, 18 minutes had passed.

The crucial water dragon has entered its refresh countdown.

Both sides tacitly agreed to a 1-3-1 lane split, with each AD carry accompanied by their jungler and support, and are fiercely vying for control of the mid lane.

In this respect, Viper's bombs are clearly superior; with just a few bombs thrown, he quickly pushed the minion wave across the river.

At this moment, Flandre's Graves also came to support. Although Graves had not completed two items, he now had Bloodthirster and half of Aegis of the Immortal. EDG took advantage of this and pushed forward with four people, easily destroying T1's mid tower.

However, it's worth noting that Viper used his W [Targeted Demolition] in order to destroy the tower, making him the weak point.

Without much hesitation, Keria's Karma pressed RE to accelerate the entire team, and Oner's Treant Protector also unleashed his ultimate!
EDG handled the situation quite calmly, with several players forming a line and letting JieJie block the big tree's ultimate, before retreating and spreading out in an orderly manner.

But now that the team fight has begun, it's definitely not going to end so easily.

In the lower river, Zeus's Aatrox activated his ultimate, drawing most of EDG's attention.

At the same time, Faker's Sylas rushed out from the top river and quickly formed a double team!
EDG had no choice but to split their forces into two groups: JieJie's Sejuani to block Aatrox, and Meiko's Rakan to block Sylas.

Jie Jie had little trouble stopping the Sword Demon, since the Sword Demon was a heavily armored warrior who didn't have much agility.

But on the other side, it's different.

Faker faced Rakan's interception and landed a precise second E [Strike], and even used his ultimate [Fleeting Glance] during the dash to steal it!
Sylas activated his ultimate the moment he landed, but Meiko reacted quickly and activated his ultimate at the same time, both of them successfully charming the target simultaneously.

However, T1 was better prepared. Keria's Karma instantly flashed in and used her Crucible to instantly remove the charm from Sylas!

In such a fiercely competitive moment, talent and spirituality are revealed.

Very few people in history could provide this crucible.

Faker seized the opportunity, decisively flashing forward to charm both the bomb and the Graves, then followed up with Eternal Frost's control, applying a root effect to both of them!
"Faker is here! He flashed in and charmed a whole bunch of enemies!"

Zeus, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity. Aatrox decisively flashed past Sejuani and slashed his greatsword at the two of them!

Upon witnessing this scene, countless viewers nearly suffered cardiac arrest!
They seem to have seen signs of EDG's team fights collapsing!
At this point in time, which is close to twenty minutes, if we get wiped out, we'll lose the Baron!
"But Flying God has arrived too!" From God's perspective, it can be clearly seen that Mingjing's Yone is actually in the F6 camp, only a wall away from his teammates and Faker's Sylas.

However, Ming Jing did not rush to make a move. He simply activated a scan to confirm that he had not yet been exposed, and then used Q [Mistaken Jade Cut] to hit the six birds again, accumulating sword wind.

Even if Mount Tai collapses on top of the mountain, he will not blink. The current team fight situation is indeed bad, but for Yone, a reversal is just a blink of an eye.

In the scene, Varus, Treant Protector, and Karma behind T1 were in a hurry to follow up and deal damage, causing the three of them to stand in a single line.

Ming Jing clearly remembered that Karma had already used Flash in order to give up the crucible.

Varus and Treant Protector were already in a state without Flash.

That's it now.

Yone pressed himself against the wall, activated his E ability [Breakthrough Edge], and passed directly through the thick wall of the F6 camp to reach the middle lane.

A gust of wind surrounded him.

The T1 members were instantly terrified and got goosebumps all over just by looking at the scene in front of them!
But Mingjing will never give them a chance to repent.

Yone brandished his twin swords, using the wind from the swords to move, and directly blocked the three Shimono.

The sword wind continued forward, knocking the leading tree away!
Taking this opportunity, Mingjing decisively activated his ultimate skill. A crimson phantom appeared behind Yone, and the ultimate skill's field enveloped the three of them: Treant Protector, Varus, and Karma!

In the next instant, Yone flashed past, hitting all three who hadn't flashed and instantly taking them far away!

"Here they come!" Miller roared, igniting EDG's counterattack. "Yone used his ultimate on three enemies!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the LCK commentary booth, the three commentators who were shouting and yelling just a second ago suddenly realized that something was wrong, and their voices immediately became somewhat shrill.

"Phi's ultimate move! Pizza!!!"

Viper's vision in team fights is exceptional. Even when he was surrounded by Aatrox and Sylas, he clearly saw Mingjing's perfect ultimate.

Taking advantage of Yone's ultimate ability to gather the three together, he immediately unleashed his own ultimate ability!

Ming Jing licked his lips and quickly followed up with a Q-W combo, rapidly reducing the health of the three opponents.

The next second, the Ziggs' ultimate ability landed, dealing direct damage to the center and instantly sending Karma away!

Varus is slightly more durable and survives with low health thanks to the shield and bow's shield.

Mingjing immediately followed up with a Q stab, sending Varus back to the fountain as well!

At this moment, all that remained in Ming Jing's eyes was a large tree with half its health remaining.

Ming Jing glanced at the front of the team, making sure that his backline wasn't under too much pressure, before unleashing his full power on the tree.

He landed three consecutive critical hits, followed by a Q to knock the enemy into the air. Only when the mask mark on the tree's head cracked did Mingjing press E to revive and finish off the enemy!

"Double kill!"

At this point, the battle in the back row of the team was also coming to an end.

Faker and Zeus's combination ultimately killed Viper, who had no Flash.

However, since T1's reinforcements have been cut off by Mingjing, the two of them have no follow-up fighting power.

Flandre's Graves became the key player, and with the help of the jungler and support's crowd control, Graves continuously used auto-attacks to send both of them away.

"Double kill!"

"ACE!"

The sound of the entire team being wiped out echoed throughout the arena!
At this moment, Ming Jing's voice also rang out in the audio.

"Graves, head to Dragon. Everyone else, follow me to Baron."

At this moment, exactly twenty minutes have passed.

Mingjing's Yone moved extremely quickly, even reaching the entrance of Baron Nashor, clearly having already planned his next move.

The EDG players quickly obeyed the order and dispersed.

This "I want it all" mentality is actually quite greedy. Many viewers thought that Yone, along with Sejuani and Rakan, would be slow at taking down Baron Nashor.

But when the actual fighting began, it turned out that this was not the case.

Although they are missing two key carry damage dealers, Sejuani and Yone are actually a top-tier combination for taking down Baron Nashor. Yone is already a top-tier damage dealer, and his constant AQ combo can quickly help Sejuani stack freeze layers, allowing her to continuously deal ice-breaking damage.

Meiko's Rakan only needs to withstand the Baron's damage, ensuring that the jungler and support can deal full damage, and the Baron's health will plummet like a bloodbath.

In comparison, Flandre's speed in a one-on-one fight against the dragon was even slower.

In less than twenty seconds, both the Baron and the Dragon were destroyed, allowing EDG to take another big step toward victory!

With a single exchange of five Baron Nashors, EDG extended their gold lead to a full 5,000!

"Although this Baron Nashor isn't enough to launch a direct push, EDG now has three dragons in hand, so they're not worried at all!"

Miller said, "We'll slowly chip away at their economy with the Baron buff, and then we'll win the Dragon Soul team fight with all three core items!"

Miller's words were exactly what Ming Jing was thinking.

At this point, there are no more operational tricks left to use.

The Dragon Soul team fight will begin at 25 minutes. Under normal development, this is not enough time to get the three-piece set.

At the very least, T1 economy is impossible.

In contrast, EDG can take advantage of the extra gold from this Baron Nashor wave to get all members into the three-item stage ahead of time.

In that case, the team fight would be a sure thing.

T1 knew they couldn't wait for the Dragon Soul team fight and had to force a pace, so they took advantage of EDG's group push on the top tower and had their mid and top laners teleport behind to initiate a team fight!
This team fight came suddenly, but the EDG team remained calm and composed, maintaining their formation and fulfilling their respective roles!

With an economic advantage, the strength of Yone, Graves, and Bombardier as the three carries is beyond doubt. If T1 can't kill the backline, they simply can't win the game.

In contrast, EDG can easily cut through T1's backline.

Meiko played perfectly. Rakan activated his ultimate, first charming Sylas and Aatrox in front of him, then turned his attention to Flash and W into the fray, lifting Varus high into the air!
Following closely behind are Yone, Graves, and the three ultimate abilities!

Gumayusi did nothing, and before he could even attack a few times, his health bar was emptied.

This can be considered a grand funeral, with the output even exceeding expectations.

At this point, the outcome of the team battle was no longer in doubt.
EDG was absolutely dominant, crushing T1 once again!

"Zero for five, a complete wipeout!" Guan Zeyuan felt his blood surging with excitement. "It seems the game is about to end!"

The respawn time of just over twenty minutes is not long, but all five members of EDG were present, and the team fight was right at the entrance of the high ground, so the end of the game was inevitable!

Below the tower, the cheers of countless North American spectators rang out once again, with 20,000 people chanting EDG's team name in an orderly fashion, creating a truly magnificent scene!
"This was a fantastic match! The two sides traded blows throughout, keeping the suspense alive until the very end!"

Miller shouted, "But in the end, EDG had the last laugh! They won the crucial battle for the top spot!"

The five T1 players lay helplessly on the backs of their chairs, their faces ashen as they watched the match headed towards defeat.

EDG is now 2-1 away from the championship, just one step away! (End of Chapter)
