Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 273 One Against Five! Gale-Force Slash!

"We can't hold on, we can't hold on! How can G2 possibly withstand this Yasuo?! This was Uzi's incredible play, a high-energy solo performance from start to finish!"
As the director replayed the footage, pausing deliberately at several slow-motion details, the doll exaggeratedly said:

"Especially when he went from F6 to the first tower, his confident EQ combo showed he anticipated Perkz's position. It was terrifying in the blind spot!"

The replay lasts for 30 seconds, but as the commentator said, it's truly high-energy from start to finish.

Everything was just right, even the positions of the F6 players were calculated by Tm.

He deliberately went out to receive a powerful attack, used the F6 skill to create distance twice, and then used a final wall-running maneuver to take down two opponents.
"???"

"Is that Uzi's Yasuo?"

In just a few seconds, such subconscious actions and reaction speed—is that really something a top-tier ADC player in the bot lane could pull off?
After watching the replay and seeing Yasuo still dominating in the mid lane, almost everyone, including the viewers, fell silent.

Not only the spectators, but also the clubs still fighting in the World Championship, clenched their fists instinctively when they saw Yasuo, who seemed to have descended from the heavens like a demon lord.

After an unknown amount of time, some of the audience members gradually got excited, and under their influence, the most terrifying and explosive cheers since the start of S8 erupted from the stands.

And the sound showed no signs of stopping; on the contrary, it grew louder and louder over time.

The three commentators, watching the frenzied audience, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Perhaps this is the true charm of esports, the surprise that top players bring us. Today's Yasuo, today's Uzi, he really shattered my preconceived notions about him. Even Faker is nothing compared to him."

"Many people may have thought it was arrogant for Uzi to say he would randomly select heroes before the match, but now he has given us all a perfect answer. This 1v3 double kill is the best gift for LPL and for all of us fans!"

“Awesome!!!”

Wow!
The audience burst into applause.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Yasuo destroyed the first tower this time. Ap's Ryze, no, even G2's rhythm has completely collapsed! When they go back, Yasuo will probably pull out his Infinity Edge, the same Infinity Edge and Statikk Shiv from fifteen minutes ago. My god, which of G2's squishy heroes can withstand two seconds of Yasuo's output? G2 is going to collapse!"

"Sure enough, Yasuo soloed a five-layer tower plating and a whole bunch of jungle monsters. The gold difference between him and his laner has reached 3800. I'm dumbfounded that such an exaggerated gold difference can be achieved in the mid lane of a match!"

Watching Yasuo pull out the Infinity Edge and Statikk Shiv at 15 minutes and 20 seconds, not only the commentators, but even the five members of G2 who were playing the game opened their tabs and got a little excited, especially Perkz, who felt a tightness in his throat and was feeling uncomfortable.

The higher the level of the game, the more crucial the game in a world championship, the fewer fatal mistakes the opponent will make. Conversely, if you can gain an advantage at this time, you can basically be called invincible.

G2's team voice chat was a bit somber, and even their usual banter and jokes were gone.

They were on the verge of a meltdown.

It wasn't just because they were outplayed by Yasuo, but also because this loss put G2 on the brink of elimination. No one in the World Championship has ever achieved the honor of being reverse-swept to three-point victory.

Facing this terrifying RNG team, G2 couldn't think of any way to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.

Look how much they lost in the two minutes Yasuo got his equipment?

First, the support used his Flash and ultimate, and hesitated for over a minute without going to the bottom lane. Facing Syndra and Thresh, Heimerdinger was directly killed by the two under the tower, and the bottom lane tower was destroyed.
Nunu, who stole the Rift Herald, placed it in the top lane after securing it, helping Letme push down the top lane tower. Nunu and Shen then invaded and took over the blue team's top half of the map, while Yasuo took over the blue team's bottom half.

With all three outer turrets destroyed, the entire jungle lost, and vision completely gone, and no ADC, how are we supposed to play?
Compared to the somber tone of G2's team voice chat, RNG's atmosphere was as cheerful as everyone enjoying skewers and drinks at a street food stall on a hot summer day.

"Little dog, that was amazing! Enough said, this was pure joy!"

Letme, in the top lane, didn't waste any words and immediately started praising.

When Yasuo was showing off, he wanted to use his ultimate to support several times, so he was the first of the five RNG players to witness the whole thing.

"Jian Zihao, you're playing Yasuo right next to me in the bot lane, aren't you? You're up to something!" Xiaoming was extremely jealous in the bot lane.

"Haha, I didn't expect this either. I was just using E to dodge all the skills and they killed me," Li Luo said with a laugh.

"From now on, Ap will be constantly whipped and will forever become Yasuo's background character." Xiaotian had a long-term vision and helped everyone recall Yue Lun's tragic end.

With the time approaching 20 minutes, the five RNG players, having made a fortune, coordinated to secure their third dragon and return to base to replenish their equipment.

After this wave, the CS difference in the mid lane had reached around 80, and the gold difference had reached 4100.

With Taliyah's jungle and his own, Yasuo developed like a fish in water. After gaining this advantage, he basically didn't need to do much and could just kill everyone.

The wanderer's equipment includes Archangel Cloth Armor Shoes and Small Armguards.

It's just a cheap, low-quality J8 anti-pressure kit.
Not only that, after returning home, Ap made another armor piece, intending to synthesize a small Ice Heart. Standing at the bottom lane's second tower, he resembled the shape of Ba Ge.

When a wave of minions comes, the wanderer will either eat them if he can, or stand far away and soak up experience if he can't.

Li Luo instantly lost the will to continue the contest.

By doing this, Ah P was simply giving up his chance to fight back, a slow death for him.

Of course, the wanderer had no means of retaliation, especially at a time when Yasuo was about to complete his third Bloodthirster, making him powerless to resist.

The rogue was controlling the wave and farming minions in the bottom lane, moving very carefully and always staying within the maximum range that Yasuo could hit.

However, Li Luo's timing for harassing is more tricky. Sometimes he will seamlessly use E to dash in and harass, and sometimes he will take a step back and suddenly turn around to use EQ to build up two passive stacks to force the wanderer to reposition.

Once hit by Yasuo's QA combo, it would reduce Ryze's health by nearly a quarter each time. The explosive damage drew gasps from the audience and commentators from various regions.

As long as a new wave of minions appears, the carefree Yasuo can weave in and out, making it really hard to react to such unexpected attack opportunities.

Ap gritted his teeth, beginning to doubt whether he should be in the mid-lane, a position known for its intense competition.

A mid-laner needs more than just hard work; they need to be like Faker and Uzi.
talent!

In esports, only those who play well are called "professional players," while those who don't are just "internet addicts."

Similarly, in the world of League of Legends, even 1% talent is worth more than 200% or 300% hard work.

This is an industry with both extremely low and extremely high barriers to entry.

For the first time in his life, Perkz, who has always been known as a genius mid-laner, felt a strong desire and jealousy for the talent of others.

Eat! Eat! Eat!

By forcing the roaming creature behind the tower, Yasuo unleashed a wind wall to avoid damage. Each strike of the tower by Yasuo was accompanied by a unique thud. After the wind wall disappeared, he retreated gracefully using his passive shield, taking no damage whatsoever.

No solution! Unscrupulous!
This unreasonable split-pushing and tower-pushing style, along with its lifesteal ability, becomes G2's weakest point when they have an equipment advantage. They use their strengths to attack their opponent's weaknesses.

Even seeing Yasuo so arrogant in the bottom lane, G2 still didn't have the slightest intention of surrounding Yasuo. They tacitly ignored Yasuo's split push and Ryze's constant requests for support.

In this way, the bottom lane's second tower was worn down by three waves of minions, and the high ground tower was also taken down under the pressure exerted by RNG in the mid lane.

This time, just when everyone in G2 couldn't resist the urge to gang up on Yasuo, Yasuo chose to retreat back to base to replenish his equipment.

The feeling of putting in all your effort only to hit nothing was so intense that the G2 players almost vomited blood, especially Jankos, who felt nauseous.

If this kind of situation were played in ranked games, he would resolutely quit the game even if his club docked his salary and Riot Games banned him.

Out of sight, out of mind. Ever since I can't surrender, this torturous situation, where I have to keep going and try to turn things around, is just too exhausting.

Yasuo, returning home, bought his Bloodthirster at 23 minutes and gave the mark to Baron Nashor.

"We can't go on like this," Wunder said. "If we do nothing, losing like this is pointless. We might as well just launch a decisive attack, or try to catch Yasuo off guard."

G2 has finally realized that if they continue to drag things out with RNG, it will just be another slow and painful defeat like in the last game.

The reason is that G2 didn't have an ADC and lacked the resources to operate in the late game. Although RNG also didn't have an ADC, their Yasuo was too fed.

The reason why the 4-1 split push strategy in the LCK region is so unstoppable is because the individual heroes are too fed, making them impossible to target in a 1v1 situation.

Especially when they saw RNG preparing to take Baron, G2 decided to fight to the death.

But at this moment, another strength of RNG's lineup emerged.

Yasuo's Wind Wall can avoid ranged skill damage, and Shen's W can avoid melee basic attack damage. If both of them use their skills correctly, it's like the whole team has a Gem's ultimate ability, which is like a bug.

All that could be seen were the two wanderers and Big Head harassing the enemy from afar, but Yasuo placed his Wind Wall in the Dragon Pit, turning the two into dummies and taking no damage whatsoever.

Thresh stood at the doorway, pressed his ultimate, and a cage with a 99% slow effect was set up.

Taliyah wanted to drive over to steal the dragon, so Syndra crouched down where the car was coming from, waiting for Taliyah to appear, and then gently pressed her E skill to stun her.

Nunu's Q skill, Execute, and Smite easily secured the Baron Nashor.

Now, G2 had no choice but to board the wandering vehicle and hastily flee back to their high ground, where they would use the high ground towers to fight a final, life-or-death team fight.

"Let's start a team fight!" A-P muttered to himself, though it was unclear who he was talking to.

At this point in time, it becomes extremely difficult for him to even clear out super minions with the Baron buff, let alone kill anyone.

G2 has never chosen to sit idly by. At this stage, it is too demanding to pull off a near-divine team fight, so demanding that even in the training camp the success rate is only 50%.

The first move should be a stun with Heimerdinger's R, followed by Morgana's R for crowd control, then Irelia's R, and finally Taliyah and Ryze to deal damage and eliminate Yasuo and Syndra. Only then will there be a chance to win.

Moreover, Yasuo must be killed first to have any chance of winning.

“RNG is pushing straight to the high ground. Is G2 going to defend this wave?” Wawa asked in surprise.

"G2 hasn't given up yet and is hoping to turn the tide using their high ground towers."

Miller looked at the large head in the shadows, frowned, and continued:

Now it all depends on how accurate Da Tou's skills are. Because of the true sight ward, we can be sure that RNG can't see Da Tou's position. In this spot, we can use the enhanced R grenade to stun a large area.

"As expected of the optimistic European team, even with an economic gap of 12,000, G2 did not choose to give up."

Although RNG is the main team in the LPL, the three commentators still praised G2's fighting spirit.

But can Big Head really succeed?
The audience knew this was the last wave for both sides, so they held their breath and watched every move of the two teams.

All the pressure fell on Hjarnan, and he forced himself to focus intently, fixing his gaze on Yasuo's position.

Only by stunning Yasuo first can there be any possibility of follow-up attacks; otherwise, with Yasuo's Wind Wall, your own skills will be like skipping a piece of foam on water, making no ripples whatsoever.

Yasuo positioned himself a bit too far forward because, due to the lack of an ADC, he had to go up and use his Q on minions to build up his wind.

Hjarnan took a deep breath, and at the exact moment Yasuo released his Q skill, his hand speed exploded with lightning speed, and his three skills—Rw and Flash—were activated in an instant.

A flash of golden light, and the grenade fell from the sky; in the blind spot, it was incredibly fast.

Before RNG could react, a grenade appeared in the sky and headed straight for Yasuo's head.

Can it be prevented?

The answer is yes. Almost the next second, a wind wall blocked the spread of the big head's E skill at the last minute, extinguishing G2's last hope of a comeback.

How could a sudden attack possibly succeed in evoking an inhuman reaction exceeding one hundred points?

"Wow, they defended it! They actually defended Yasuo! My god, G2 seems to have realized they have no hope this game, all five of them are charging in, determined to fight to the death in a team fight!!!"

Syndra used her ultimate (R) on Heimerdinger, but Heimerdinger had Zhonya's Hourglass, so there was no damage dealt!

"G2's lineup is very compact, while RNG's is very spread out. Nunu is trying to use his ultimate to force G2's positioning. My god! G2's formation in this wave."

The doll spoke extremely fast, broadcasting at lightning speed, but he had only said half of his sentence when, the instant the golden body of the big head ended, Syndra released her Weaknesses Disperse!
The ultimate skill's orbs, combined with the orbs generated by the Q and W skills, created a wide-range "scattering of flowers" effect, which stunned three people and knocked back two others.

Then, something even more terrifying happened: Yasuo, who had been dodging the damage, suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared next to the G2 players the next second.

Death is like the wind, always by my side!

Syndra's E skill allowed Yasuo to take all five ultimate abilities in one go. On the scene, Yasuo's desolate figure, along with the five G2 players in the air, became a terrifying moment that no viewer of Season 8 will forget.

No one expected that Yasuo could still follow up with his ultimate when Syndra's E skill knocked him back!
The five G2 players were stunned for a moment, as the storm of Gale Slash, accompanied by Nunu's Zero Degree Explosion, had already swept over everyone.

Just as Nunu landed from the sky, his ultimate ability arrived as expected, unleashing a terrifying area-of-effect control with a wave of Gale Force!

For a full second, all five members of G2 were suspended in mid-air by Yasuo and unable to struggle!
Explosion is art!

Nunu's triple kill, Yasuo's double kill, and a beautiful team fight also sealed G2's fate!
RNG has secured match point!
