"EDG lost this teamfight!"
"The mid and jungle were a little too slow to react. Although Ale TPed to the front right after the teamfight, the problem was that T1 was too decisive. In this case, it was impossible to attack the dragon again."
At this time, it was already eighteen minutes into the fifth game.
After the third and fourth games, T1 was in high spirits.
Because they have found a way to deal with EDG, which is to target EDG's mid and jungle.
No matter how good Xu Yuan is at commanding, as the AD in the bottom lane, he has no way of making the mid and jungle understand what to do the moment an emergency occurs.
In this situation, the rhythm of T1's mid and jungle was very smooth, and targeting Fofo and Jiejie became their winning formula.
In the BO5, they won the first two games, and then lost two more games in a row.
This is very demoralizing.
Now Fofo and Jiejie are a little afraid to confront T1's mid and jungle.
Yes, now Lee Sang-hyeok cannot put too much pressure on Fofo in the laning phase, as he is no longer the mid laner.
However, the gap between the two midfielders in experience and handling is still too big.
Especially after T1 started to select defensive combinations like Varus and , even Xu Yuan found it difficult to gain an advantage quickly.
With BP restricted, there are too few heroes he can play.
There are even fewer heroes who can lead EDG to victory.
This also led to EDG having to go all out and choose to play against the Raptors.
The Athlon system once shone brightly in the summer season, but with the popularity of the electric knife solo stream mid laner, it has become less of a supermodel.
This may also be Riot's original intention.
Because they don't want the bottom lane to occupy too large a proportion in the World Championship.
Perhaps it’s because the S7 Censer Monster left such a deep impression on them that they are now very careful in controlling their influence on the bottom lane.
So, knowing that Athlon is no longer effective in this version, why does Xu Yuan, as a commander, still play like this?
Because this system is the one EDG has played the most and is the most proficient in.
In this situation of losing two games in a row, playing the system you are most familiar with can help you get back into shape faster.
Just like playing Ranked games, after a losing streak, don’t play heroes that require too much skill and management.
Whatever brainless thing to play.
"It's okay, if it's dropped, it's dropped. If you can't beat the Athlon, then play the Chinese Operations."
Xu Yuan did not blame his teammates for the defeat in this team battle.
He was never that kind of character.
Normally, EDG should be more careful now that the Athlon system has failed.
Because it’s almost time for the T1 lineup to show its strength.
The lineups of both teams in this game are very stereotyped.
T1 used Yongen on the top lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Clockwork in the mid lane, and Varus and Braum in the bottom lane, which is an almost perfect lineup for this version.
If you want to start a team fight, there is a team fight; if you want to have an outburst, there is an outburst; if you want to have a late game, there is a late game.
EDG still chose to place all their hopes on Xu Yuan in this last game.
Ornn on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Neeko in the mid lane, and Lucian and Gamiio in the bottom lane.
In the early game, EDG was almost completely defeated in the clash between mid and jungle.
But the good news is that because of the advantage in the bottom lane in the early stage, the little dragon was able to safely control two of them.
until……
In the previous wave, the mid and jungle were attacked, resulting in the third dragon being lost so easily.
Xu Yuan understood that it was no longer realistic to continue pushing the tower in the bottom lane.
Now EDG still has the second pioneer in its hands.
This is almost their last chance now.
Although the combination of Lucian and Milio also has late-game capabilities, they can't compete with this version of Clockwork Yone.
Especially Yongen, it is no exaggeration to say that he can kill an AD with just two swords.
There is not much time left for EDG.
"Meiko, follow me."
Even so, his voice remained steady.
No matter what kind of disadvantage the team is in, the core member must not panic.
As soon as he panicked, EDG lost even its pitiful winning rate.
"Go on, keep fighting."
"We don't need to rush. They are the ones who should rush."
"After we handle the minion line, the bottom lane team should switch lanes early. Savior will probably want to open a breakthrough point."
"Oner, come to me."
Lee Sang Hyuk is as calm as Heo Yeon.
After taking the third dragon, EDG's advantage was basically gone.
Next, as long as T1 develops steadily, they can fight in groups in the later stages.
Clockwork Yongen and Varus, all-round control and burst.
So there is no need for Li Xianghe to rush.
Even though he had a huge advantage now, he never let his guard down for a moment.
Because he knows.
Xu Yuan will not give up just like that.
Seeing that the opponent's bottom lane group had reached the middle lane, he controlled Clockwork to stand directly under the defensive tower, even slightly behind the defensive tower.
He doesn't want to give any chance!
Clockwork's flash and ultimate skills are all there, and coupled with this conservative positioning, even Xu Yuan feels a little helpless.
“…As expected of you.”
With Windrush's E and flash, Lucian's three-stage displacement can only barely get in front of Clockwork.
With an entire river between them, Xu Yuan couldn't kill Li Sang Hyuk.
Time passes by bit by bit.
EDG's original economic lead of more than 2,000 has been leveled.
With the appearance of Yongen's Ruined King, Alec's Ornn could no longer do anything to him.
Even if Ornn's armor is seriously damaged, Yongen can still recover health through the minion line.
Restore blood, exchange blood, restore blood.
After such repeated consumption, Ale can no longer bear it.
The bottom lane defense tower also fell.
"EDG is in a bit of a difficult situation now."
Colonel Guan was silent for a while.
Still, is it not possible?
T1's fifth BP was almost abnormal. They directly blocked Skateboard Shoes' Samira and Neela, and then snatched Xayah in the opposite direction.
They don't care about the other contestants at all!
All BPs are used to target Xu Yuan alone.
However, EDG needed to make plans for the mid, top and jungle, and had to block the opponent's Rambo Tsar, and was unable to create any advantage in the bottom lane for Savior.
As a result, all the BP pressure fell on Xu Yuan alone.
And not only that…
Savior, who was targeted like this, now actually has to shoulder the responsibility of carrying the game.
He is asked to bear the pressure of BP, and after that he is asked to be the C.
This is Savior's current situation.
So even though he thought EDG might lose this game, Colonel Guan didn't blame Savior at all.
A player has achieved this, and he also took down T1 twice.
What else can you blame him for?
He felt only regret.
If, if Savior's teammates were stronger...
That's fine.
"That's good enough, Savior."
The Korean commentator also felt a little emotional.
"He's really our LCK's biggest enemy... Fortunately, there's only one player like him."
The first and second games of this BO5 really made them sweat profusely.
A Samira with fifteen kills and zero deaths, and a Nila with twelve kills and one death.
I have never seen Savior play before, and Savior is a player who has been away from the game for more than four years.
But when I took it out, it was so perverted.
This... shit, who wouldn’t be scared after seeing this?
They were feeling lucky.
Fortunately, fortunately it’s T1!
The adjustments were quick enough and the foundation is really solid.
Otherwise, they would probably be crushed by EDG in one wave.
“It’s very frustrating.”
“Maybe this game is a true reflection of life.”
The European and American commentators also had regret on their faces.
In their eyes now, Savior is the representative of a tragic hero.
"Life is like this. Sometimes, even if you have done your best, the ending will not change."
He spoke in a low voice.
This kind of situation where one person is crazy about C but still can't win, it really makes him feel a little helpless.
If he was a Savior, he would have sent Fofo and Jiejie to see God.
God would forgive them, he wouldn't.
"What should I do... Is there still a chance?"
"That's enough, Yuanzi, let's go home!"
"This is really C can't move, it would be better if it was a version of the censer monster, now it's over if we can't beat it alone."
"Does AD really need to be strengthened?"
"It's still getting stronger? T1 has such a big advantage in the mid and top lanes, and now the situation is evenly matched. How can your AD advantage offset the advantages of both mid and top lanes? AD deserves to be weakened!"
"It's over!"
“I can only say… congratulations to T1. After all, they are good brothers of Yuanzi who won the championship, so it’s not too sad.”
"Congratulations to Brother Li for winning his fourth championship and making a complete comeback!"
No matter which competition area, no matter which live broadcast room, no matter which forum.
Everyone felt that EDG had already lost this game.
Even now in EDG's internal voice chat, except for Meiko and fofo who will say something to Xu Yuan, Jiejie and Ale have also become silent.
They are not the ones who don’t understand the game.
This one is really difficult.
However, some people feel that it is not over yet.
"Give me WE!"
Xu Yuan has been waiting for an opportunity.
Li Xianghe is indeed ruthless. If he wants to play safe, he won't give anyone any chance at all.
but……
His teammates can't do it!
Perhaps because the advantage was already big enough, Oner came to the middle lane and casually used W to touch the soldiers, preparing to go to the upper area to gain vision.
"you……"
Li Xianghe frowned and just opened his mouth for one word.
Xu Yuan’s Lucian is already on the scene!
Without hesitation, flash first!
The more times like this happen, the more you cannot use any skills.
To ensure that all damage is dealt instantly without giving Oner time to react.
Xu Yuan did not choose E which had a pre-swing, but chose the sudden gale.
Winds blow forward, WAEA!
The diagonal gust of wind did not give Lee Sin enough distance to use his ultimate skill. He turned around and moved slightly to knock off Lee Sin's Q and directly used his ultimate skill, Baptism of the Holy Lance!
With Milio's passive effect, Lucian's passive alert attack was triggered, and the almost full-health Lee Sin was taken away almost instantly!
Seconds!
If Oner didn't use flash immediately, he would have been dead.
"what happened?!"
Colonel Guan's voice suddenly became louder.
"Oh my god, seconds!?"
"In that case, now that twenty minutes have passed, EDG has a chance to kill the Baron!"
“This is——an opportunity!!”
He was extremely excited.
Could it be!?
“Big dragon, big dragon, big dragon, big dragon!”
Xu Yuan’s roar echoed throughout EDG’s voice chat.
Ale directly T into the vision near the dragon pit, and EDG directly chose to attack the dragon!
This is indeed EDG's last chance.
The vision around the dragon pit has been cleared by Meiko and Jiejie, and the dragon pit is pitch black.
At this time, no one at T1 had a searchlight.
Zeus did have it, but he had already used it when he was pushing the line in the bottom lane.
This is a very normal thing. In order to ensure your own safety when you are soloing, you will use the searchlight to look at the bushes when you think the opponent may come to catch you.
After all, no one expected that Oner would die so suddenly.
This also means that this wave of T1 is very dangerous!
"...We still have to go. Just tank. They kill the dragon very quickly."
Li Xianghe took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
There is no time to blame Oner anymore, let him reflect on himself.
He carefully used Q to explore the bushes, but did not use his face to explore.
What if? What if the other party is squatting?
Lee Sang Hyuk has been playing professionally for so many years, it is impossible for him to be so naive.
Just because there is no vision on the dragon pit doesn’t mean the opponent is definitely attacking.
No one was discovered, and Li Xianghe breathed a sigh of relief.
But after he clicked an eye into it, he discovered that there was actually a real eye in the grass.
“…Neeko?”
He continued to rush towards the dragon pit carefully while attacking the true eye.
But until he was A-ed, there was still no reaction.
Li Xianghe breathed a sigh of relief.
T1 has gathered at the dragon pit.
"Only one chance, Fofo."
Xu Yuan and Meiko didn't move at all.
While beating the dragon, he spoke to fofo who had transformed into a real eye and was standing next to the dragon.
Underneath him and Meiko is a real eye hidden in the center of the model!
It’s a perfect use of the field of view.
Although it's impossible to completely block it, but this angle...
T1, impossible to see!
"good."
fofo didn't say anything more.
He held his breath and waited quietly.
Clockwork and Braum appeared first, but he didn't rush into action.
It was not until Varus appeared in his sight that he suddenly used his skills!
W to become invisible and then R to push the stick!
"It's open! Faker couldn't react !"
"The models of Savior and Meiko blocked the model of EDG's true eye in the dragon pit, causing T1 to think that Fofo's true eye blocked the vision of the fake eye!"
“As they were preparing for their A, Fofo seized the opportunity!”
Colonel Guan's voice was already extremely excited.
This is the real opportunity!
Accompanied by the sheep called by Ornn and the EQ in front of Neeko's golden body.
Almost instantly, EDG's team battle had a devastating effect!
Zero for four, plus a big dragon!
T1, which had originally taken the lead in economy, suddenly collapsed at this moment!
In an instant, the situation reversed!
The middle high ground was directly broken!
Now, it's T1's turn to scratch its head.
Li Xianghe tried his best to cheer up his teammates, but facing the overwhelming EDG army, they were no longer able to put up a decent resistance.
The game time is twenty-four minutes and twelve seconds.
game over!
EDG defeated the last powerful enemy T1 3 to 2!
"Won? Won!"
“It’s a comeback!”
"Congratulations to EDG! After losing the crucial little dragon in the last game of the BO5 final, they staged a beautiful comeback!"
"Oner never thought that his accidental imitation of a soldier would become a touch that changed the world line!"
"Savior's ability to seize opportunities is too abnormal!"
Colonel Guan couldn't help but smile.
Winner!
“What the hell!! What the hell!!!”
“EDG is awesome!!!”
"In the end, it still has to be the Abyss God!!!"
"You can win with this, bro!!"
Countless praises came like a tide. Xu Yuan stood up and walked to the T1 side with his teammates.
He looked at Li Xianghe steadily and suddenly smiled.
"Isn't it disappointing you?"
"……snort."
Li Xianghe snorted, unable to hide the disappointment on his face.
But she held his hand and said sincerely.
"You're awesome."
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Together next year?"
Li Xianghe was stunned, and there was an unprecedented brilliance in his eyes.
"real?"
"Yes, really."
