Just as EDG knew that they could not provide RNG and other policewomen with complete equipment, RNG also knew that EDG would definitely choose to take the initiative at this time.
Because the core players on the opposing team are not the kind of people who would just choose to play turtle when they are at a disadvantage.
If the opponent was LNG, RNG would have already won.
Unfortunately, no.
"Fight! So what if we don't have two sets? We still have an economic advantage!"
Uzi took the initiative to speak.
"We dared to fight them even though we were at a disadvantage, so why shouldn't we take the lead when we have an advantage?"
Even if we don’t have two pieces of equipment, it’s not like we won’t fight in a team because we don’t have equipment advantages.
With RNG's lineup, the chances of winning a teamfight are also very high.
Uzi is not afraid of playing against a disadvantageous team.
Since Uzi, the core, said so, Xiaohu and Letme naturally started to lean towards the vanguard pit immediately.
Just like Uzi said before the game.
All they have now is to choose: Believe!
"Don't be afraid! Let's take the initiative! We just need to charge first. There's no need to protect me. As long as you put enough pressure on the other side, I will definitely survive!"
Uzi spoke quickly while carefully maintaining his position.
There has always been a saying: [The best way to protect AD is to kill all the opponents]
Actually, there is no problem.
As long as teammates can destroy the opponent's back row, the AD really does not need protection, because the opponent has no time to take care of the AD.
"Will they go around from behind this time?"
Xu Yuan carefully followed the team towards the dragon pit and suddenly spoke.
"They can just attack us head-on. There's no need to go around us...right?"
Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
"It won't take much time to clear the field of vision. Let's clear it first and then move on. The more disadvantaged we are, the calmer we must be."
Li Xianghe shook his head and began to cooperate with Meiko to clear the vision of the jungle area.
Losing the vanguard only means one defensive tower and a threat to the jungle area. If the team fight is lost 0 for 5, then it's really over.
Li Xianghe's attitude is that it is better to believe it than to believe it not.
EDG's speed towards the vanguard pit was much slower, but it also ensured the safety of its rear.
“So cautious…”
letme is a little disappointed.
He was really planning to go around the back, because Xin Zhao and Karma were strong enough to hold the front, and it would be difficult for the policewoman to be in danger for a while.
On the contrary, if he succeeds in using his ultimate skill from behind, EDG's formation will be disrupted instantly.
This profit is too high!
Although Letme has always been steady, he is still willing to be the first to enter the game when he has an advantage.
Unfortunately, EDG still didn't give him a chance.
"Rush! Just rush!"
Uzi doesn't care. If it doesn't work, he will just attack head-on.
The vanguard's health was getting lower and lower, and by the time EDG arrived in front of the vanguard pit, there was only less than 3,000 left.
Xiaotian didn't hesitate at all.
"Don't worry about the vanguard, fight in a group!"
The Pioneer is no longer needed.
Huh!
As the Sword Demon roared as he started his great destruction, Smeb began to push forward.
The current Aatrox can be resurrected, so Smeb must push forward.
Only when he pushes forward can EDG win team battles.
Can't tolerate any stickiness.
Xiao Ming's Minotaur activated his ultimate skill and W towards the Sword Demon.
When he was about to reach the Sword Demon, he used the Flash in his hand!
WQ flash!
Use W to get close to the opposing lineup, and decisively use Q flash to knock away EDG's double C!
Xu Yuan was very focused and had already spoken when Minotaur W came over.
"He's going to open it! Eat me!"
Tam opened his mouth and swallowed Varus, but Lee Sang-hyeok did not choose to use his flash, but was knocked away by Minotaur.
After all, Ryze is not as fragile as AD now.
Xu Yuan will definitely be killed instantly if he is attacked. Ryze now has time on him, so he still has some tankiness.
Lee Sang Hyuk could give up this flash, but there was no need to.
There is the Sword Demon helping him from the front, so he can't die.
The Sword Demon who entered the field couldn't hold on for long and was knocked out of the resurrection state.
RNG damage is too high!
But this time Smeb has done what he should do.
Because Letme also activated his ultimate, but was blocked by the Aatrox, even if he knocked Tam into the air, RNG's C position was unable to focus fire.
Zhao Xin, with Karma's shield, has rushed up aggressively. Although Xu Yuan, who came out of Tam's stomach, has been weakened by Minotaur, he still uses his ultimate to restrain Zhao Xin and then starts to attack!
The vanguard has been taken by RNG, but RNG does not intend to leave, they want to fight in a team!
"Xin Zhao, Xin Zhao, Xin Zhao, Xin Zhao!"
In EDG's voice, there is only Xiaotian's voice.
This shows EDG's trust in him, and all team battles are left to him.
After Ryze landed, he cooperated with Xu Yuan and all the damage was poured on Zhao Xin.
Xiaotian chose to use Taliyah to force Uzi to move, so as to allow the Sword Demon to hold on for a while longer after being resurrected.
No matter how strong Zhao Xin was, he was still dealt with by Varus who was dealing percentage damage and Ryze who was developing online.
And the Sword Demon was finally killed by the policewoman!
The situation instantly became four against four.
Xu Yuan used purification to remove the stun of Minotaur's E, and after killing Zhao Xin, he had already triggered his passive and started to move A like crazy!
"Chance!"
Letme's eyes flashed when he saw Xu Yuan standing by the wall.
Ornn used his flash and skill E to directly crash into the wall next to Xu Yuan.
However……
Too slow!
Xu Yuan was very focused. He immediately used flash to retreat and continued to attack the Minotaur who was in the center .
Taliyah laid out a stone array, and the policewoman could not attack Xu Yuan, so she could only choose to attack Ryze.
Li Xianghe then used the flash in his hand to avoid the output of the policewoman, and cooperated with Xu Yuan to fully output the Minotaur who was in the front and whose skill was about to cool down.
Minotaur’s ultimate skill just ended!
The three of them focused their fire on the Minotaur who was just a support and couldn't withstand it after his ultimate ended.
Minotaur, killed!
However, although the policewoman was unable to follow up with the damage immediately due to Xiaotian's stone-scattering formation, she was still able to inflict sufficient damage afterwards.
Tam, also dealt with!
Three against three!
Karma used RW to tie up Taliyah and forced Xiaotian to flash. The policewoman kept attacking Xiaotian, and a perfect clamp completed the final control. A headshot emptied Xiaotian's health.
Policewoman, triple kill!
“Let’s go!”
Uzi couldn't hold back any longer and flashed forward!
Ryze only has half health, and Varus has about the same amount of health.
And his policewoman is still full of health!
With the protection of the full-health Karma, this team battle is about to be won!
Xu Yuan’s eyes were fixed on the policewoman. When he saw her choose to flash away, he suddenly shouted.
"Policewoman!"
Li Xianghe remained calm. The moment the policewoman used flash to enter the field, he used a complete combo on the policewoman!
His hand speed increased dramatically, and he dealt all his damage almost instantly!
QEQWQEQ!
Seven keys in one second!
Even in the chaotic team battles, Li Xianghe's combo still did not have any problems, because it had become his instinct.
Uzi, underestimated Lee Sang Hyuk's outbreak!
Even though his purification was removed terribly quickly and he chose to use his E skill to pull away, this set of attacks still hit him hard!
The policewoman with a shield also had her health reduced to half!
Ryze, down!
Policewoman, quad kill!
However, he has created an environment for Xu Yuan to harvest!
Xu Yuan used AA followed by WQA, instantly using up his only remaining burst!
The policewoman was killed in seconds!
Varus also got a triple kill!
The moment after killing the policewoman, Varus rotated and moved, narrowly avoiding Ornn's Q, and then madly attacked Ornn with the E skill. With the help of the E skill, Ornn was also killed!
Quadruple kill!
However, Varus was also in a bad condition at this time, because he could dodge Ornn's damage but could not dodge Karma's Q!
The health point has dropped to less than 200 points!
Xiaohu was very smart. He pulled back first to wait for the skill to cool down, and then used the E skill to chase Xu Yuan!
Xu Yuan did not move again, because moving now would be a waste of output.
Varus pulled the longbow in his hand almost like a ghost, competing with Karma in the final damage.
Verus, he fell again!
However, before he died, the Q he cast through E Ornn successfully triggered Karma's fully stacked Wither passive!
Penta kill!
Varus, got a pentakill!
All ten people on the field were killed!
"I still couldn't hold on, and I got stuck on a basic attack..."
Xu Yuan felt a little regretful.
When he came out of Tam's stomach, he lost some damage from his basic attack because of the weakness of the Minotaur.
Therefore, he took more damage from Zhao Xin's two basic attacks.
If I had maintained my health better, would I not have died in the final fight?
As for the subsequent operations?
For Xu Yuan, this is what he should do and there is nothing to brag about.
My teammates have already done this, and as the C position, it is what I should do to take over the game.
His teammates wouldn't blame him for thinking this way.
“Awesome!”
Xiaotian couldn't help but speak.
This wave of double C... is really too full!
If anyone makes the slightest mistake, the team battle will be lost.
Because the damage of the policewoman is really too high.
Even the Sword Demon couldn't withstand two hits, and Tam's head was bleeding.
However, even in this situation, the double Cs cooperated with each other, seized the last chance, and tied with RNG.
This team battle is being fought despite being behind by nearly 5,000 in economy!
"Unbelievable! Really unbelievable!"
Colonel Guan is still full of passion until now.
In this team battle, neither side made any mistakes and all of them performed at their best.
Even if it was Uzi who flashed into the field, can you say he shouldn't have used this flash?
The situation at that time...
With Karma protecting the policewoman, even if Xu Yuan replaces her, she will definitely choose to flash into the field.
However, Li Xianghe's skill hit rate is too high.
He knew that Uzi would definitely use purification and E to pull away, so after using W to freeze him, he would use the Q skill to aim at the position where Uzi was pulling away.
There is no space for any skills!
This created an excellent output environment for Xu Yuan.
"Even with this economic disadvantage, EDG actually won?!"
"This team battle is so beautiful, my god!"
Colonel Guan couldn't help but sigh.
It is really a pleasure to watch such top teams playing together.
The policewoman got a quad kill! Varus got a penta kill!
Top enjoyment!
"EDG won this game, didn't they? If Uzi hadn't dodged, they would have won."
"You can't say that. If Uzi doesn't dodge, it's just a two-for-three trade, which is just a small profit."
"You see the opponent's mid laner is low on health, why don't you chase him? If the policewoman doesn't die, we'll have won the battle."
"Uzi is like this, and in this situation, let alone Uzi, I can't help it."
"After this battle, EDG has the advantage!"
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage, but everyone expressed understanding for Uzi's choice.
After all, if you don't flash, you can only make a small profit at most.
After dodging, once you win, you basically win the game.
Given that he is in very good shape, there is nothing wrong with Uzi making such a choice.
Unfortunately, we didn’t win.
And it’s not that the team has collapsed. EDG now just has a very fat Varus.
I can only say it's a bit of a pity.
Xu Yuan went home and headed straight for the three-piece suit.
Now his equipment is no worse than that of the policewoman.
Even better, because he ate the policewoman's final bounty.
It is worth mentioning that although S8 does not have any bounty points, it also has a bounty mechanism.
"pity."
Uzi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"It's okay, I can still play, now I'm just back to the same starting point again."
"We have good vision and we have the vanguard, so we can make a push!"
Don’t think about the team battles that have already ended. The most important thing is to fight the next one well .
RNG reorganized, placing the vanguard in the middle lane and trying to let Karsa steal the little dragon.
However, when people do something sneaky, they are always worried.
Karsa was discovered by EDG's vision.
"I'll go grab it!"
Xiaotian spoke immediately.
"You guys guard the front, I have R."
Although Xin Zhao is very powerful, he only has that kind of combat power when working with Karma.
Now that Karma is in the front, Xiaotian is confident that he can snatch the little dragon.
He used his ultimate skill directly from the high ground, and flew to the dragon pit using Taliyah's ultimate skill.
The timing is perfect!
The light of punishment fell, and the third dragon was taken by EDG!
“It was snatched away!”
"sky!"
Almost instantly, all the commentators exclaimed.
After Taliyah arrived at the dragon pit, he used EW to carry away Zhao Xin who had no flash, and then used Q and punishment to take down the little dragon!
This wave is so cool!
The key is that Karsa has no good solution, and he has already used his flash in the previous wave.
The dragon’s health has not yet reached his killing line. Even if Zhao Xin knows that Taliyah is coming, it’s useless!
Of course, it was difficult for Xiaotian, who had snatched Xiaolong away, to get away.
He used all his skills to steal the dragon, and since he had no flash, he had no chance of escape after being forced into the dragon pit by Zhao Xin.
However, one head for one little dragon...
Unless it is in the really late stage, no one would be willing to do such a transaction!
On the front side, although RNG destroyed a tower, it was retained by Lee Sang-hyuk who activated his ultimate skill and forced a fight.
The dual control of Varus and Ryze left the policewoman with no room to output, and RNG had no choice but to retreat.
EDG scored a zero-for-two exchange!
It's visibly getting better.
Twenty-two minutes into the game, EDG regained the advantage and began to use the Baron to distract RNG.
It’s still Aatrox leading the team down and Ryze leading the team up.
Both TPs are there, just pull them as you like.
"Just fight the dragon. You don't have to fight it all the way. Just fight it for fun."
Xiaotian sneered.
"Now, they are the ones who are anxious."
Although the development of the Aatrox can only be said to be so-so, no matter how well the Aatrox develops, he will not feel too much pressure fighting Ornn in the side lane.
Unless you're stupid enough to get bumped into Ornn and have your E interrupted.
Otherwise, there will be no danger and you can take the initiative.
Smeb is not like Theshy, and sometimes he is less murderous.
Naturally, I won’t do anything to make things happen.
And Ryze’s current combat effectiveness is equally strong.
Ryze, who has already made Archangel of Time, is basically the strongest AP tank in the mid-term.
It's very tough and does a lot of damage.
It’s impossible to keep an eye on the account cancellation of Kalma!
This is the most uncomfortable time for the four-protect-one lineup.
Once the economic advantage is gone, the side lane will be powerless against top solo heroes like Ryze and Aatrox.
The key is that EDG played very smartly and was not in a hurry at all.
They just took a photo of the big dragon every few minutes.
Are you coming?
Grandma, you don’t want to come, right?
Are you coming? Are you coming?
If you don't come, I'm really going to rush!
“How disgusting.”
Letme couldn't help but mutter.
"We can't continue to be involved with them. Let's force the way open. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to play if we are being pulled like this all the time."
Uzi also felt disgusted. Now that he had three pieces of equipment for Caitlyn, he still had no chance to fight in a team.
It is normal for the policewoman who got a quad kill to have this development.
Xu Yuan on the opposite side had developed at a similar level to him and also had three sets of equipment, but Uzi was still confident that they were stronger.
The curves of the policewoman's three-piece suit are stronger than those of Varus.
Because when the body is fully developed, an inch longer means an inch stronger.
The policewoman's range is 650 yards, and few ADs can match her, not even Varus.
Letme stopped defending and chose to come to the front.
RNG, it’s about to start!
His action of leaving the lane was not concealed, and Smeb immediately gave a signal to the front.
"Letme go! They might open up head on!"
"Pull! Just lead it, we'll handle the front."
Xiaotian responded immediately.
It's normal for RNG to be anxious. Who wouldn't be anxious when being pulled like this?
But, will being anxious be helpful?
When Ornn walked to the front and activated his ultimate, EDG stopped immediately.
Xiaotian's Taliyah's ultimate directly blocked the road. Even if Ornn's second stage R collided, the team fight still could not start.
And because the Sword Demon was about to take down the second tower, RNG became more and more anxious.
But just when they were about to retreat, the EDG players came over to keep them.
Varus' ultimate skill directly hit Ornn, forcing Letme to flash.
Uzi immediately stopped and turned back to fight.
However, after Xu Yuan's Varus used his ultimate, he did not chase forward at all, and stopped after using E.
He just stood there, not moving at all.
Uzi: ...
Grass!
This really made him mad.
At this time, the account cancellation could no longer hold out.
Li Xianghe noticed that Xiaohu had made some mistakes in his movements, and he immediately realized that he must have switched the screen to look at the front.
He flashed without hesitation and used the W's imprisonment effect to almost kill the enemy in one move.
It's normal for Ryze to have this much damage at his current level, Karma must be very careful.
However, because of the unfavorable start on the front side, the account cancellation has to pay attention to the front side and prepare for TP at all times.
As a result, it gave Lee Sang-hyuk an opportunity.
Although he survived by using Flash, he couldn't defend the top lane.
With both high grounds threatened at the same time, RNG completely gave up the idea of ​​taking the Baron.
But they couldn't even press B to return to the city because EDG was still harassing them from the front.
I can only walk home!
"Dragon Dragon Dragon! They don't want it anymore!"
Xiaotian's mouth was almost crooked from laughing.
This is operation, so cool!
When you disgust others, you will always feel happy from the bottom of your heart.
EDG has a three-piece set of Varus, and he kills the dragon very quickly.
In the end, not only did they take down the Baron, but they also allowed the Sword Demon to break through the high ground.
After this wave of operations, RNG lost two second towers and one highland tower, and was unable to defend the dragon.
Originally, EDG's economy was lagging behind, but after this wave of operations, the economic gap with RNG instantly widened to more than 5,000.
RNG, what a loss!
The most important thing is...
At the upper-middle level, even RNG can’t keep up.
"It's over! The advantage of EDG's single-lane lineup was reflected. Although RNG's vanguard didn't lose much in that wave, the rhythm was completely broken."
"The policewoman is developing well now, but there is no team to fight with. I feel dizzy!"
"We can't possibly win this game. We have such a big advantage in the early game. Uzi and Caitlyn have already killed seven heads, including the level 1 team fight. Even a Caitlyn with seven bars and one kill can't win?"
"No, why is EDG so strong? I think RNG will win this game!"
Not only LPL viewers were watching this, but LCK viewers were also watching.
And it was precisely because of this that they felt somewhat frightened.
With such an advantage, RNG is basically a sure win in LCK.
How could the policewoman lose with this level of development?
But, in front of EDG... we just can’t win!
Once the rhythm is interrupted in the mid-term, EDG will launch endless counterattacks.
Twenty-six minutes into the game, EDG, who had taken down the Baron, began to advance.
However, they were not in a hurry .
After discovering that RNG's defense was very tenacious, EDG did not force a push, but chose to plunder resources on the field.
After taking down the little dragon, they cleared out RNG's jungle area completely.
The economic gap was further widened, directly bringing the economic lead to nearly ten thousand.
With just two waves of team battles and operations, they were able to pull the lead from four or five thousand to nearly ten thousand.
This is the operational strength of EDG!
Continue to develop and wait for the ancient dragon group to decide the victory.
Today's Ancient Dragon does not have any killing effect, so theoretically RNG can still drag it out.
But it's just theory.
The benefits provided by the Ancient Dragon are very high, and the Big Dragon will appear soon after the Ancient Dragon is refreshed.
Once EDG gets the Double Dragon, RNG will have no chance at all.
Therefore, they will have no choice but to bite the bullet and come over to join the group.
"I've been dragged along the whole time... and still can't win, what a pity."
Uzi's mentality did not explode at this time.
This one was not very satisfactory for him.
Since we can't win despite such a huge advantage, it's not a question of performance.
I can’t beat him because of the sheer difference in strength.
If you lose a game that you could have won because of your own or your teammates' mistakes, you might feel regretful and unwilling to accept the result.
But this time my teammates didn't have any problems, and neither did I.
Still can't play it.
So what else can we do besides accept reality?
“I should have protected it better.”
I feel a little guilty about closing the account.
If he had helped Uzi flash and block the skill, would the result be different?
Sometimes there are some problems that you cannot think about too much, because if you do, you will be overwhelmed by regret.
"No, it's not your fault."
Uzi shook his head, a smile on his face.
This was the first time he laughed even when he was at a disadvantage.
"No matter what, let's finish this BO5 well, Li Yuanhao."
RNG arrived as expected when the Ancient Dragon refreshed, but was easily wiped out by EDG.
At this point, RNG's C position is no longer enough.
They only have female police officers.
Xin Zhao and Karma together can barely be considered as output, but that's all.
The opposing EDG used a standard 3C lineup.
Now that the Sword Demon has the three-piece set, team battles are not so easy to deal with.
With the solid double C of Varus and Ryze, no matter how well RNG starts, it will be of no avail.
The only thing Uzi can do is to deal as much damage as possible before he dies.
EDG traded two for four and took the Ancient Dragon, and then took the Baron.
They pushed forward all the way and destroyed RNG's main crystal before RNG's C position was resurrected, winning the game.
From beginning to end, Xu Yuan's output environment was very good. With Tam's protection and the pressure from his teammates on RNG, he had no pressure at all.
"I still lost... Alas."
"There is indeed a gap in strength. This game is not as crushing as the first one. In fact, it is not bad for RNG."
"In previous years, RNG would have won both the Spring and Summer Championships, and even had a chance to win the MSI. Unfortunately, it ran into EDG and IG at their peak. It can only be said that it was a bit unlucky."
"Uzi finally knows how to play Xayah, but he can't use it in any game. If he knew how to play Xayah in S7, would RNG still be defeated in the semifinals in S7? Even if they couldn't beat EDG, they would at least have a chance to reach the finals, right?"
The audience did not mock RNG for losing, because anyone could see that RNG really tried their best and played smoothly when they had the advantage.
The only reason they lost the game to EDG was because they were not able to compete in team battles and operations.
There is no way around it. These two points cannot be improved significantly by cramming before the World Championship.
It’s not that RNG is weak, it’s that EDG is too strong.
To be honest, this ending is now easier for RNG fans to accept.
It’s not shameful to lose to EDG.
They have already been dominating this year and have basically secured a spot in the finals. Once EDG wins the World Championship, the other teams will be in the same league as RNG.
They are all teams that lost to EDG, how can they still compete with them?
In the third game, RNG also tried very hard.
But sometimes, hard work does not necessarily lead to good results.
Hero pool, players' personal abilities, teamwork, and tactical system.
They are all inferior to EDG.
Three to zero, EDG took the lead cleanly.
"Let's congratulate EDG! They won the World Championship with a crushing 3-0 victory!"
"They will also advance to the upcoming semi-finals with RNG's will!"
Colonel Guan ended today's speech with the following words.
It was a civil war after all. RNG lost, but it was not shameful, nor did they play cowardly from beginning to end. They played a fairly exciting game.
Compare this to the experience of RNG meeting G2 in the quarterfinals, where they were upset and eliminated by G2, becoming a top clown.
Maybe the current ending is better.
At least now, they are losing to EDG, the world championship favorite who is stronger than them, right?
"Come on! Help LPL win this year's championship!"
When shaking hands, Uzi had a relieved smile on his face and sincerely expressed his blessings to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan restrained his smile and nodded seriously.
"good!"
Under the bright lights, Xu Yuan, wearing an EDG uniform, and Uzi, wearing an RNG uniform, stood opposite each other with serious expressions.
EDG took over the baton from RNG.
