Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 307 Shocking the World! Ruthless Crushing

The instant the Ice Maiden froze, the Lamb Spirit breathed life into the three who were already surrounded.

The massive ice coffin's AoE damage, Kennen's rolling thunder damage, and Lucian's baptism of the lance—under these multiple layers of damage, in just over a second, Taliyah, Pantheon, and Kindred's health dropped to ten percent.

Similarly, this damage also demonstrates the viability of the Skt lineup.

The various skills on the front lines instantly destroyed the advantage that RNG had built up in the first fifteen minutes.

"I can kick one of his ultimate moves out, who can I kick!"

Blank shouted in the voice chat.

Lee Sin's R skill is a strong counter to Kindred's ultimate. Once the enemy is kicked out, they will no longer enjoy the Lamb's Breath buff and will also lose the healing from the ultimate. With SKT's current output, 10% of the enemy's health can be instantly killed!
"Kick Taliyah first, if you can't hit her, then kick Pantheon."

Brother Li shouted in the voice chat, giving blank a signal.

If the climbing duo can kill one of them, the rest will no longer be such a big threat. At that time, even if Kindred's ultimate effect wears off, Skt will be able to kill them before the remaining two RNG members arrive.

However, even in the midst of a chaotic team fight, the Lee Sin's ultimate ability's startup animation is still too obvious.

Li Luo remained on edge throughout. The moment he saw the Blind Monk initiate his attack, he immediately flashed backward, leaving the Blind Monk's ultimate skill range in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Xiaoming's Pantheon also used W to rush in, standing firmly in front of the Blind Man, not giving him any chance to kick Taliyah.

Dragon Tail Swing (R)

Seeing this, the blind man had no choice but to use his ultimate on Pantheon, sending Pantheon out of the azure blue range with his signature flying kick. Lucian, who was already waiting, simply followed up with a Q and easily secured the kill on Pantheon.

Moving clouds and flowing water!

From the perspective of the live audience, Skt was still the same Skt team, with perfect teamwork and no flaws.

Furthermore, in the draft phase, although RNG successfully countered with Kindred in the fifth pick counter, the presence of Lee Sin was also a hidden move left by kkoma to prevent Kindred from being used.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

A series of yellow exclamation marks appeared on the map.

On the front lines, with Kindred's ultimate ability delaying the fight, Ornn and Swain were already about to teleport down.

But now that things have progressed this far, Skt has no way out and is forced to start what appears to be a five-on-four team fight.

RNG's support Pantheon was instantly killed in a team fight, while their jungler and ADC were left with only a sliver of health. In terms of fighting power, RNG was undoubtedly stronger in this team fight.

Even if Taliyah gets fed, it doesn't change the fact that she's a weak champion in team fights without Pantheon.

"Li Yuanhao, control Ice Maiden!!" Upon seeing Xiaohu's figure, Li Luo shouted loudly. At the same time, he manipulated Rock Sparrow to advance instead of retreat, pressing down on Ice Maiden's face.

Xiaohu understood perfectly and used Taliyah's positioning to launch a precise E skill at Lissandra. At the same time, to ensure the hit rate, he used his W skill, Imperial Vision, to suppress Lissandra's backward movement.

In the chaos of team fights, even if Faker saw Swain's E skill, he wouldn't have time to dodge it and would be stuck in place.

The next second, Taliyah's actions stunned everyone present.

A bulging orange-yellow rock suddenly appeared beneath the Ice Maiden's feet, which was frozen in place, and its position was clearly facing out of Kindred's magic circle.

With almost seamless control, the Ice Maiden was instantly lifted out of the magic circle, and as Taliyah's Q skill passed by, another corpse was added to the battlefield.

What was originally a five-on-four situation suddenly became a four-on-four situation.

Furthermore, Ornn's sheep and Swain's ultimate abilities have been activated simultaneously, making them just as formidable on the field as Skt.

With the magic circle's duration reduced to a single second, Skt had no time to hesitate. Wolf, who was still protecting Bang from behind, gritted his teeth. To prevent being instantly killed by Taliyah again, he activated his ultimate skill this time and flashed headfirst into the circle.

Of course, after this team fight, Skt's decline has been fully exposed, and Swain is like a god descending to earth in this situation.

"This is your first lesson on the long road of spiritual practice."

At the moment the magic circle ended, Li Luo lightly tapped his middle finger, and the keyboard returned a crisp crackling sound. Yan Que placed her hands in front of her chest, then suddenly opened them, as if praying to a god.

A rocky Great Wall rose abruptly from the ground, and rows of earthen-yellow walls separated him from the blind Minotaur Lucian behind him, as if by divine retribution.

The impact of the rock walls created a four-on-one situation in the rear.

From beginning to end, RNG's goal was --
It's not a crippled bot lane, nor is it a Lee Sin who's right in the face.

But -
SKT's most relied-upon initiation point is Kennen.

Caught completely off guard, Kennen was knocked up by Ornn's sheep and instantly killed by the damage output of Swain and Kindred.

"this????"

The remaining three members of SKT all widened their eyes.

Separated by a single wall, they are now forever separated. With only a stone wall between them, Skt's pursuit seems like a pipe dream.

"Double kill! Uzi got Kahn's kill! In this seemingly hopeless situation, RNG's three players held off SKT's five players until their teammates came to their aid. Moreover, they only sacrificed a support's kill to get kills in the mid and top lanes. This Taliyah is amazing!" The European commentator exclaimed in amazement.

"After this fight, SKT is finished. Their biggest chance to gain momentum has come to a head. Kindred's ultimate and Taliyah's stone wall were absolutely brilliant."

"Uzi, forever a god!"

On the scene, as the three members of Skt began to retreat, the four members of Rng continued to devour the remaining map resources.

This domineering presence was so overwhelming that the audience couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"After this wave, RNG's economic advantage has reached 7000, and this advantage isn't just Uzi's, it's the whole team's advantage!" Wawa shouted excitedly, his face red and neck bulging.

"That's terrifying. With Kindred protecting Taliyah now, it's impossible for Skt to kill her instantly. That means Kennen and Lissandra's entry into the fray is completely useless!"

in the game.

SKT was indeed completely destroyed in this team fight.

Although there were less than twenty minutes left in the game, their rhythm and resources had already been completely destroyed by RNG.

To be precise, RNG once again used a level 1 team fight to their advantage, which led to a bizarre and ultimately unsuccessful game.

Even Brother Li felt utterly hopeless at this moment.

Falling down in one place is fine, but falling down in one place repeatedly is just plain stupid.

Skt has now become everyone's biggest fool.

To persist or to give up?

Before they could reach that conclusion themselves, Rng quickly showed them through their actions.

Leaving aside the damage of the climbing duo, let's just talk about Kindred with 8 stacks of her mark. At this point, her equipment is already incredibly luxurious, and even her attack range is longer than Lucian's. She can completely serve as RNG's tower-pushing point.

"Baron Nashor is about to spawn, RNG probably wants to set up vision and take Baron!"

Miller's astute words hadn't even finished when he saw that the five RNG players, who were heading home and then leaving, showed no intention of going for Baron Nashor; instead, they turned and headed straight for SKT's mid lane. What did this mean?
Want a big push?
The doll reacted instantly, and shouted in a trembling voice, "My God, 19 minutes and 40 seconds! That's the time it took to end the last game! RNG clearly doesn't want to wait any longer this game. They've chosen to push mid with all five of their players, hoping to end SKT's struggle in one team fight!"

Not only the commentators, but the audience at the scene also felt their heads buzzing.

Are they really going to be so aggressive and just start taking down the tower? Aren't they afraid of getting caught out by Skt in a miraculous team fight under the tower?

The answer is self-evident.

Without Teleport, Kennen is unable to flank and ambush. On the front lines, whenever Pantheon leans forward, the Skt team retreats like mice encountering a cat.

As the cannon minion pushed into the tower, RNG's five players actually started working together to demolish the mid-lane inhibitor tower!

"Tear it down! RNG really has this idea in mind."

"OmgSkt actually chose to give up the mid-lane high ground, but can the high ground crystal satisfy RNG's current appetite?"

"Is there anything crazier than trying to win in a 5v5 situation without taking Baron Nashor in 20 minutes?"

On high ground.

Seeing that RNG had destroyed the crystal and was still trying to destroy the last large crystal, Skt's five members felt trembling with anger.

In the S-series finals that are watched by hundreds of millions of people, RNG actually wanted to end Skt's game in one fell swoop without taking Baron!

Who can bear this?

He can't even tolerate the streamer teams at the Demacia Cup!
Bang's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he looked like he wanted to devour someone. Even Wolf, who was usually good-natured, was panting heavily, as if he had developed asthma from anger.

We've already given you our mid-lane inhibitor!

Why are you still being so aggressive!

At this moment, the Skt team also realized a problem – just how big is the gap between their strength and RNG's.

In a moment of distraction, Blank's Lee Sin made a careless move, and after using his W skill to harass his teammates, he was still messing around on the front line.

Without saying a word, Xiaoming immediately flashed and used W, pinning the blind man to the spot and rendering him unable to move. Seeing this, Li Luo behind him also used his W and E.

In an instant, the blind man, who was still at full health, vanished from the spot.

"Holy crap!" Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

It was only then that people realized that Taliyah had somehow acquired a Mejai's Soulstealer with 25 stacks and a Ghostblade with a staff.

Can they even beat this team? With Skt's squishy lineup?
In twenty minutes, with a Taliyah having just over 400 gold and three magic penetration items, Skt's magic resistance was practically nonexistent under that damage.

The higher the base damage of Taliyah, the more terrifying her attacks will be.

"Rng.mlxg killed skt.bang"

At the same time, Xiangguo also used his range advantage to steal Bang's Lucian from the flank.

In this 5v5 team fight, Skt was quickly reduced to only three members.

"My God, is this the world finals? How can they be so utterly dominant?"

Countless people felt their eyesight was failing at this moment. Why could the LPL region, which was dominated by the LCK in previous years, produce such a monster team as RNG?

But at this moment, the RNG team, having already defeated two people, showed no mercy as they dismantled the last bastion of defense.

Do the remaining three members of SKT dare to go up?

No answer was needed; the moment Kennen launched his Death Slam, the outcome of Skt's second game was already decided.

A tooth tower every few seconds, followed by a large crystal.

Every attack felt like a blow to the hearts of LCK fans; their base was crumbling, and their spirits were crumbling along with it!
The base exploded with a resounding crash as Ornn delivered his final blow!
Meanwhile, witnessed by hundreds of millions of players, the five remaining RNG teams all lit up their team logos with gold backgrounds and black lettering.

Two to zero!
RNG has secured match point in the S-series finals!

"Congratulations to RNG!! In 21 minutes, they destroyed SKT's crystal base and won the game, taking the lead in the finals!"

"Aaaaaah! Congratulations RNG!!!"

Tens of thousands of LPL fans at the scene immediately stood up, while LCK fans pushed back their chairs and began to leave.

I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore.

Watching RNG's team push to a draw in 21 minutes, even LCK fans felt what true control meant.

This is RNG, this is LPL!

I've given up hope on SKT, even though they were the first team in Worlds to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2!
This series of mindless stomp-two matches completely extinguished the hopes of LCK fans.

Of course, this is no longer just about the team winning or losing; it is an unacceptable disgrace.

To use a trendy phrase these days:
"Not very lethal, but extremely insulting!"

The five members of SKT took off their headphones with blank expressions.

It's match point again, and they're on the brink of elimination just like they were when they fought FNC. But can Skt pull off another incredible comeback from 0-2 down to win 3-2 this time?

Bang, who had been withdrawn for two games, abandoned his four teammates, his eyes red and his head down, and rushed to the rest room.

Although this is the second game, their mentality has been completely shattered by the loss in this game!

In other words, even Faker, when looking at RNG now, felt a sense of powerlessness, like gazing up at the night sky.

Why? Why can't I win in lane?
Khan's eyes were also lifeless. The real reason for this defeat was that the gaping hole in his top lane was too large, which disappointed Kkoma's expectations before the game.

Bang's departure led Kkoma to SKT's soundproof room. He had a serious expression and said something to the team members. Then, everyone followed him blankly into the backstage dressing room.

On the other side, RNG's internal situation was the complete opposite of Skt's. Everyone was trembling with excitement, eager to start the third game and have a final showdown with Skt.

During this period, being able to beat the strongest LCK team like a bot is already the most boast-worthy thing in my professional career.

"Awesome, awesome!" Letme's face turned red as he shouted "Awesome!" and stood up to hug Xiangguo next to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Hu didn't back down. He took off his headphones and started celebrating right in front of the referee.

"Brothers, nice!"

"Let's go, let's go, it's almost time to get off work, it's time to get off work!"

The group joked around, set up their peripherals, lined up, waved to the LPL fans in the audience, and entered the LPL's rest room to wait for the third game to begin.
