You actually want me to...

But there's nothing they can do; they're at a disadvantage.

[GG, JDG should reconsider their draft picks for the next game.]

Before the finals, I never imagined I'd see Pyke play support like this; it's just too hilarious!

[While I was farming, the sound effect for the Water Ghost W appeared. I was tense for ages and didn't see anyone. Just when I was starting to relax, a wolf head icon popped up above my head. That's really annoying.]

[A Pyke with stealth and double speed boost, a Nidalee with a fully stacked Mejai's Soulstealer, and an Ashe with her ultimate ready—if these three were positioned in front of me, I'd be scared even if I went into the jungle.]

From the audience's perspective, TES is now slowly killing JDG. They clearly have the advantage and could try to push the high ground, but they just don't. They are playing it safe and waiting for the Dragon Soul, intending to force JDG out before killing them.

The most deadly thing is that this dragon is even a fire dragon soul.

"Back when Dragon Soul was first released, I had an advantage every time, while the opponent had an advantage in Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain. I almost thought the opponent had subscribed to Tencent's VIP membership."

"Indeed, but it seems that luck is still on our side today. If they don't come to claim this fire dragon soul, then this round is over."

"I can't take it unless the stone is four or more times bigger, otherwise I don't know how I could lose."

"Just make sure you have good vision first, and watch out for Bard's ultimate."

Zoe was both her strength and her weakness.

There's no doubt that the LPL is the region where Zoe specialists excel, but Zoe is actually a champion that heavily relies on team composition. When ahead, she can widen the gap through sheer luck, but when behind, she's not as useful as a support who can initiate team fights.

This is no longer a question of whether it's E or not.

Even if you land your E, you wouldn't dare use your ultimate to jump over and use your Q. Zoe's presence is very awkward when your team doesn't have a tanky frontline to hold the line.

Soon, 24 minutes later, the fourth fire dragon began to spawn.

TES rushed Baron Nashor without hesitation, while JDG also launched a full-scale attack.

This is their only chance left.

They had two choices: either disrupt the enemy's dragon attempt or give up the dragon to secure victory in the team fight. Clearly, JDG chose the latter. As a team focused on macro-management, they understood that the only way for them to turn the tide was with the Rift Baron, which was located on the other side of the map. As for the elemental dragon, they figured giving it up was fine.

Just as the elemental dragon was slain, Bard's ultimate ability finally descended from the sky, instantly trapping TES's Nidalee and Lucian.

Upon seeing this, Flandre decisively activated his Teleport.

This time, it was Green Hair who stepped forward.

For JDG at this moment, victory in the Summer Finals is just one game away. As long as there is any chance of winning, they will not give up trying to make it possible.

Bard used his E to open and pass through walls, and upon landing, he immediately applied Exhaust to Ashe, the only active character on the field, and then used his Q to slow her down.

What appears to be a situation where they're about to give up is actually paving the way for their top laner!

Right in TES's own jungle, at the location of Frog Princess, a familiar figure suddenly leaped into the river mouth with a flash of light across the wall. Then, R [Unstoppable Force] was activated immediately, pressing Bard's ultimate at the end time.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the stone golem, TES's team commander was instantly thrown into disarray.

"A stone man!?"

"Oh no, something bad is going to happen."

No matter what the TES players thought, they would never have expected that JDG would have a ward teleport in that location. Although it seemed like they were late and TES had already successfully secured the Dragon Soul, in reality, this was only a short period of time when the entire TES team was most relaxed.

JDG made the right bet!

With Malphite's ultimate, Graves' ultimate, Zoe's Starfall, and even Jhin's long-range ultimate, JDG barely used any skills to ensure a clean kill on TES. Under this barrage of control and long-range bombardment, only Ashe was able to barely manage to unleash her ultimate.

A 1-for-3 exchange.

JDG's clever flanking teleport allowed them to successfully create an opportunity to rush Baron Nashor.

That flank positioning was absolutely brilliant.

[After remaining silent for over twenty minutes, Green-haired Bard finally spoke up.]

[With this Baron Nashor, JDG can stall for a few more minutes. Once Malphite and Jhin get ahead, the situation will be completely different.]

[It should still be fine, considering TES has such a big advantage.]

That's the charm of esports, and just when everyone thought TES had given up by default.

Kreece, you're in.

Integration: Chapter 108: Unwavering Lofty Ambition!

For Flandre on the court, today marks the 2000th day of his professional career. He has dedicated nearly six years of his life to this game, but at the same time, he has almost wasted those six years.

For over six years, he never stopped yearning for the World Championship. And it was also over six years of preparation that finally led to his success with TES this year. From a points perspective, TES is a team that can easily qualify for the World Championship, and even if they lose this BO5 final, he will still achieve his long-cherished wish.

But is that enough?

Few people know that Saint Gun's birthday is actually August 28th, and even fewer people realize that today, the day of the final match, is actually Xuan Jun's 22nd birthday.

Humans are greedy creatures. From wanting to make the playoffs at the beginning, to wanting to make the World Championship, and then to wanting to win the championship, desires are constantly pushing our limits. But does it matter?

Approaching 25, Green Hair desperately wanted a championship, so his performance in this match, with its crucial control chain, was understandable. No one knows if this is their only chance in their life, and everyone tries their best. But as a veteran himself, didn't he also yearn for that championship he had never had?

So he wanted to give himself a chance, and he didn't want to give anyone who could threaten him a chance either.

then...

"Hey, 2v4, wanna go crazy with me?" Behind his old glasses, a burning fighting spirit blazed wildly in Flandre's eyes. It wasn't that he hadn't been crazy before; a few years ago, you couldn't find another top laner in the entire LPL who could be as crazy as him. It's just that he had firmly hidden that emotion afterward.

Just like Kreece and Skaarl.

Kled, wielding his weapon, represents Xuanjun in his early days as a prodigy. Back then, he was a newcomer who dared to challenge Marin, claiming he was no less than the world's best top laner, and he easily outmaneuvered the top laners in the LPL. Skaarl, on the other hand, represents his cowardice and compromise. Although timid, he always comes back to save the day in crucial moments.

He was such a contradictory person, but now, he vaguely felt a burst of energy, a long-lost feeling, and a youthful exuberance.

"How confident are you?" Roland asked casually, while habitually maneuvering the mouse to move Pike toward the Baron.

"Perhaps 20%? Or perhaps 1.5%?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Of course we're going in!" There wasn't much hesitation, because Roland was, in most cases, a brainless brute, or rather, the TES team was essentially a perfect fit for the Noxians in the League of Legends world, because in the story, there wasn't a single cowardly coward in Noxus; their lines basically all conveyed the idea of ​​charging forward and not being a coward.

And coincidentally, that's exactly what happened to them.

So the two of them went together, without hesitation.

The movement speed boost from his ultimate ability swirled around his feet, and his domineering shouts echoed in every corner of the Rift. JDG, seeing Kled charging towards their formation like a madman, instantly shifted their firepower to Kled.

"He's giving money, prosecute him!"

"I come."

Zoe threw her sleep bubble, but Kled dodged it with a Flash. Malphite quickly followed up with his QE skills, and this time, Kled really couldn't dodge it. His movement speed and attack speed were both reduced by a lot.

The male gunner followed up with a smoke grenade.

One second Kled was charging into the crowd like a god of war, the next he was completely outmaneuvered. Fortunately, Kled's level was high enough and his equipment was good enough. This chain of control and focused fire only managed to break his passive ability and not kill him instantly. This was expected. No matter how powerful a person is, it's impossible to fight more than three enemies at the same time. Skills always have cooldowns, and with so many people, the chain of control skills can be quite frustrating.

But he's not just standing here alone!

The wolf's head warning lit up above the JDG players' heads again. Just as they were wondering where Pyke would appear from, a cross-shaped phantom had already arrived in front of them.

ER flash followed by [Ctrl+6] then a small stopwatch

Pyke's most practical and easiest-to-use classic initiation combo, combined with the speed boost from Predator, W, Boots of Speed, and the Relentless Hunter rune, makes Pyke's initiation speed reach an unbelievable level.

We're taking advantage of JDG's lineup, which almost entirely lacks ultimate abilities and has short range.

With a single chain of crowd control, Graves, Malphite, and Jhin were almost completely locked down in a straight line. Although the control duration was only a little over a second, it was enough for Kled.

Flat A, then flat A again

Giant Slam followed up with his Q skill and an auto-attack, then the final strike from Baron's W passive brought Skaarl, who had just disappeared, back to his side. Even with just a simple combo of dismounting and mounting, combined with Giant Slam's passive and Baron's AOE, it was enough to cripple the JDG team.

The situation has changed.

"Aban's in! Holy Gun is about to reap the rewards!"

"Perfect teamwork, Kled's AOE damage was really strong, but Zoe's Sleepy Bubble is ready again, will she be able to save her in time?"

"It's too late! Kled's damage is too high. He killed Kanavi's Graves before the bubble even formed. JDG might lose Baron this time. Three TES players are about to respawn. Knight has Teleport!"

"Should they continue? JDG is too scared to fight anymore; they've chosen to retreat. In this Baron fight, TES actually managed to get a one-for-one trade with just two players!!!"

"Though old, one should be vigorous and never waver in one's ambition; though poor, one should remain steadfast and never abandon one's lofty aspirations!"

"Holy Gun, he proved himself!"

Incomprehensible, unbelievable.

After watching the entire clip, all that echoed in their minds was madness and Kree's constant muttering of "general amnesty."

Even though they knew Kled was very fed and understood that Banhuang was always very bold, the fact that the top and support dared to directly surround four people in a team fight still shocked them and left them speechless for a long time.

The only thing that could be realized was that JDG had already lost this game.

"Wow! Xuanjun! My Superman!!!"

"Quickly, wait for me, I'll be resurrected soon."

"I have T, I have T, brothers, let's take over!"

"Seriously? Has no one praised my control of the game? Shouldn't I have contributed a third to this memorable play?"

TES's team voice chat was once again filled with joyful laughter. After this wave, JDG had basically declared GG.

Take over, acquire the dragon, operate, and split-push.

JDG, already at a disadvantage, completely lost the will to fight back when facing TES, who had returned from their base and had both dragons. Even Loken's Jhin could only deal a terrifying 124 damage with a single auto-attack on Kled.

With TES's final push.

2 to 2.

TES successfully tied the score and went to the deciding game!

PS: With Faker gone, all my remaining hopes are now pinned on EDG.

EDG is a very complicated club. It has many flaws that are criticized, such as being incompetent in international competitions, playing on nostalgia, and its blitzkrieg against Poland. However, in this World Championship, it has become the only remaining flag for LPL against LCK, just like it has been a few years ago.

This year's four teams: FPX "made history", LNG tackled themselves, RNG didn't try to adapt, but EDG, which was never favored, changed completely. Who would have thought that this was a team that focused on dual carries just a month ago, a team that couldn't play Yuumi, a team that was ridiculed as a top lane graveyard, a team that was said to be united against external forces but was "congratulated" to LCK after the internal war.
