This Lee Sang-hyeok is very strong, but he lacks self-awareness.

The noise inside the venue reached a wonderful balance at this moment.

The originally unified cheers of WE fans became fragmented and lacked confidence as the mid-jungle rhythm became suffocating.

On the other hand, the fans who had been frustrated in the two games and were even ready to leave early seemed to have grasped a lifeline. Every time Zed's shadow clones switched positions, it triggered a huge cheer.

In the commentary booth, Ji De's voice was completely ignited by the passion of the audience:

"This pace is like walking a tightrope! But EDG's substitute mid and jungle players are dancing on that tightrope."

"This is no longer a simple lane advantage; it's an individual skill that forcibly tears apart WE's operational logic."

Guan Zeyuan stared intently at the economic curve on the screen, his tone firm:

"After about twenty minutes, WE was already 4,000 gold behind, and victory seemed to be getting further and further away from them."

"WE's only way out right now is to stick together. Whether it's taking two or three lanes, they must protect Big Brother's big mouth at all costs."

"As long as Big Mouth doesn't die, WE will still have a fighting spirit."

"But the problem is, EDG had no intention of letting them have a peaceful development period. Their mid and jungle were constantly grouping up to invade, turning WE's jungle into their own backyard."

On the field, the game has been going on for twenty-five minutes.

Lin Xiu controlled the barrel, but instead of farming in his own jungle like a traditional jungler.

He took advantage of the lane control he gained from Zed in the mid lane and invaded recklessly.

Condi's Lee Sin had barely peeked out near his own red buff when Lin Xiu immediately sent a gank.

After clearing the lanes, Zed immediately activated Youmuu's Ghostblade, flashing across the river like a black lightning bolt.

"He's looking for me!" Condi realized something was wrong.

He originally thought that Zed should be safe without his ultimate, but the two of them actually bypassed his vision and ganked him.

Condi's instincts told him he should leave, but he was also somewhat skeptical. Was it really that blatant?

While he hesitated, Gragas, who had suddenly appeared from the flank, abruptly interrupted his thoughts with a precise E skill.

"Trying to leave?"

Lin Xiu let out a cold laugh in the voice message.

Zed's figure appeared one after another, using W to close the distance with his shadow clone, and then using Q to send two shuriken that drew a perfect cross line in the air, precisely piercing through Lee Sin's chest.

Faker's plays were clean and efficient. With Gragas's red buff slowing effect, even if Lee Sin used his ward jump, he couldn't escape.

Condi could only desperately use Flash over the wall to save his life, but this meant that for the next five minutes, WE's jungle would be completely open to EDG.

The chat was now in a frenzy, with EDG fans' suppressed emotions erupting so intensely that the entire broadcast screen was almost completely obscured.

[Condi: I'm reporting someone for installing surveillance cameras in my jungle!]

This is ridiculous! With this equipment, a WEEK combo on the backline minions, followed by three auto-attacks, and the entire wave is gone.

With this level of laning skill, you can do whatever you want with any champion. Who says you have to play Galio?

[These are the real Korean imports! Many Korean imports in the LPL simply can't replicate the dominance of top LCK mid laners. They're either just coasting along from the LCK or coming to the LPL to relax.]

The atmosphere in WE's team channel was extremely tense.

957 sighed: "I have to go help block in the mid lane too, otherwise Xiye really won't be able to play."

When Titan arrived in the mid lane, Zed was immediately distracted.

Although it's a spinning top, it's still covered in spikes.

However, WE's team, with Karma's roaming ability, was forced to group up in the mid lane, which was tantamount to cutting off their own arm.

This also means that WE's overall strategy has shifted from a four-protect-one approach of waiting for the right moment to launch an attack to being forced to start team fights earlier.

However, EDG is not prepared to follow WE's lead.

Lin Xiu glanced at the WE team gathered in the mid lane and calmly issued instructions on the minimap:

"They want to engage in team fights, but we'll just avoid them and kite them."

"Brother Li, you go bot lane and split push. The four of us will put pressure on you in mid lane. If they dare to send people to gank you, we'll take Baron."

"If they don't arrest you, you'll be finished."

"Don't die! Be careful, don't fight head-on!"

"I see."

Faker gave a brief response.

The next five minutes became Faker's solo performance time with Zed.

He single-handedly charged deep into the bottom lane, forcing WE to send Titan from the mid lane to defend.

But even the tanky Titan looks somewhat weak in front of Zed with two items.

Faker used his shadow to relentlessly kite the Titan, and after casting Thunder Clap twice, the Titan's health was reduced to the kill threshold, forcing him to recall.

WE once again sent their bot lane duo to defend the bot lane.

This terrifying pressure from a single player made it feel like a rope was being strangled the five WE players, making it increasingly difficult for them to breathe.

With WE having to manage the bottom lane while also guarding against the mid lane push, they had almost no time to attend to the jungle, and the economic gap widened further.

"This can't go on!" Condi roared into the voice chat.

"Baron! Let's ignore him and go straight for Baron pit! He can't teleport, so he'll definitely have to come over, and the enemy team can't beat us."

This is WE's last gamble.

At 31 minutes, all five members of WE gathered at the Baron pit.

Condi's Lee Sin took the lead, attempting to use Baron Nashor to force EDG into a head-on team fight.

"They've attacked the dragon!" Meiko shouted urgently.

"No rush, let's kite outside the pit." Lin Xiu glanced at the Baron's health, then at Zed, who had already stopped in front of the bottom lane inhibitor.

"Brother Li, keep leading. When they make a move, if they fight hard, you just keep leading."

In the commentary booth, Ji De's voice became high-pitched with excitement:

"This is WE! Leading 2-0, they clearly weren't willing to give up and decided to fight to the death with Baron Nashor!"

Guan Zeyuan held his breath: "But Zed didn't move! Faker didn't use Teleport, and instead of heading to the Baron pit, he directly pushed down the bottom lane inhibitor and is now attacking the inhibitor! Is he going to switch lanes?"

"The other four members of EDG were constantly pulling and shoving outside the dragon pit, clearly not intending to let WE peacefully take the dragon!"

Remember to shout, "A detonating barrel was thrown down, forcibly shattering WE's formation. WE is in a very awkward situation now; they're being harassed while fighting the dragon, and they can't retreat. Zed has already destroyed the inhibitor!"

WE's voice chat is in complete chaos.

"Go back! Someone go back!"

The brother-in-law was so anxious that he kept shouting, his big mouth appearing extremely vulnerable under the armor reduction effect of the dragon.

"Never mind that, hit them! Hit them!"

Xiye shouted.

"Stop them, they can't escape!" Lin Xiu said calmly in the voice message.

"Mouse, use your ultimate! Meiko, hook them all! Hook whoever recalls! Let's fight to the death here and buy Faker some time!"

In the video, the four members of EDG displayed an unprecedented level of grit and determination.

Even with Kog'Maw unleashing his W ability and spewing wildly, Lin Xiu and Mouse acted like two human walls, firmly holding back the WE team's progress.

"They're insane! These four EDG players are insane!" Remember almost roared.

"They completely ignored Baron Nashor, they even risked their lives, just to keep these five WE players alive! And WE's bot lane is gone! The inhibitor is destroyed! Zed is destroying the inhibitor turrets!"

WE finally realized something was wrong.

Condi gritted his teeth and took down Baron Nashor, wanting to retreat, but Meiko's Thresh landed a divine hook, pulling in Lee Sin who was trying to escape by ward-hopping.

"Keep them here! Don't let a single one escape!" Lin Xiu roared.

Just as the five WE players finally dealt with the four who were blocking their way and were awkwardly recalling to base, a piercing sound of a tower being destroyed suddenly came from the big screen.

Zed, the black reaper, had used his passive's extra damage to demolish two inhibitor turrets like cutting vegetables in those few dozen seconds.

"It's too late! It takes four seconds to get back to town!" Guan Zeyuan suddenly stood up.

The entire audience stared in disbelief.

The WE players had just landed and hadn't even had time to leave the fountain when Faker's Zed raised his blade and slammed it heavily into the last section of the base crystal.
