Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 377 Three against five! Let's go!
"I want to ask the viewers in the live stream, and the audience at the venue, who could pull off something like this?"

Wow!
As Miller's slightly bewildered and shocked voice faded, shouts of "Edg!" filled the entire Hongqiao Tiandi venue.

"??!"

What happened?

"He can even miss an R-shaped dribble; the shoe king should just retire already, it's outrageous!"

"No, what's going on? I'm completely confused. Can a blind man dodge R by pulling him?"

"Both times the movement was there, but the kick didn't go through. It made me laugh!"

Dragon's Tail Swing (×)
The loach shakes its head (√)

"This factory is awesome!"

A play rarely seen even in ranked games stunned everyone; the meticulous strategic maneuvering between Lee Sin and Kha'Zix perfectly showcased the limits of skill.

Both players wanted to secure the dragon, but Kha'Zix interrupted his E skill jump in mid-air with his Flash, activated his ultimate, and avoided some damage.

However, it was Lee Sin's R that he dodged.

Lee Sin's R is so fast that in League of Legends, only a handful of champions, like Tear of the Goddess, Fizz, and Vladimir, can dodge it by reacting quickly enough.

But this Kha'Zix actually managed to get two extra uses in a row with his ultimate ability, that's outrageous!
Perhaps it wasn't exactly a matter of dodging; the actions of those two were so fast that no one can yet confirm whether it was due to prior prediction or reaction speed.
However, as the director replayed the footage, the answer quickly became clear.

In the slow-motion footage, the Mantis's movements were clearly a bit faster than the Blind Man's, causing an uproar in the audience!

It really is a matter of hero proficiency!

"My God..." The two LPL commentators were speechless, completely at a loss for words.

After a long pause, Miller exclaimed in amazement, "That's the mark of the factory manager's experience! To be honest, his hero proficiency is almost unfair!"

"Ahem, the factory manager's reaction wasn't slow either, okay? If he hadn't been decisive enough in flashing to interrupt his own E skill just now, he would definitely have gotten kicked. For this dragon, the two of them were fighting like gods." Wawa really wanted to join Miller in praising him, but she couldn't help but remind him.

"Uh, that's just a metaphor," Miller exclaimed. "A player's strength should be all-around. Right now, Clearlove's hero proficiency, overall game sense, and reaction speed all make him one of the league's top-tier players."

"It's incredible that he can return in this condition after a six-month break."

"Ahhhh!"

The cheers and screams from the audience continued, and Wawa nodded, saying, "Ning's jungle has been completely destroyed now. The two players are two levels ahead, and it's hard for a champion like Lee Sin to have a late game."

"clearlove7, the first player to shock me this year. This season, friends, Edg is going to be good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheers in the audience rose to a fever pitch, and the atmosphere among Edg fans reached its peak right at the start of the game.

In less than fifteen minutes, the Mantis had four kills, all of which were achieved through his own skill, with the Blind Man getting three of them!

The difference in skill level between the junglers on both sides is extremely obvious!

"It's clear that Ning really wants to make a move, but Clearlove is having too much of a smooth game. His damage output has eliminated any room for maneuver. Most importantly, in every gamble, Ning is losing while Clearlove is gaining. With this shift in momentum, the gap between the two will only widen."

"He's too fed. After these few waves of momentum, Kha'Zix's economy is maxed out. Right now, only Aatrox can withstand Kha'Zix's damage; everyone else is in danger," Miller said with a smile.

"If we take down the dragon, the next resource point will probably be contested for the Rift Herald, huh?"

As the two were talking, the situation on the field suddenly shifted to one side.

"Huh? What's going on? Are IG's bot lane duo not planning to defend the tower, but instead want to gank the top lane for the Rift Herald?"

in the game.

After killing the blind man, the two bottom laners were also worn down by Zaozi and had no choice but to go back to base.

However, once they were fully recovered, the bot lane duo didn't go bot lane; instead, they went for the Rift Herald.

Perhaps they had been preparing all along, after all, IG was dominated by Edg from start to finish, and the only way to turn the tide was through IG's traditional chaotic team battles.

If it really comes down to operations, we absolutely cannot compete with Edg.

As the game progresses, IG's top laner, Aatrox, is the most fed and optimal pick. Even though Aatrox died twice this game, he still steadily out-farmed Flandre. This terrifying laning ability is worthy of TheShy's reputation in the league.

The bot lane duo quickly ganked and stealthily crept up behind Akali. IG clearly had this planned in mind, and Flandre, who hadn't expected to receive such treatment, didn't even have time to run away.

Once Luo's control was established, after a few rounds of skills, Flandre didn't even have a chance to make a move before Puff took his life.

"Wow, IG's reaction was so fast!" Miller exclaimed.

"It feels like IG has to rely on this kind of chaotic, unpredictable approach to beat the veteran in their match against Edg. Otherwise, if they continue with this kind of strategy, they might get crushed by Clearlove's Kha'Zix before even reaching team fights, and win the game without lifting a finger!"

"They'd rather give up their bottom lane for that. But with this wave, could Edg have a chance to take down the second bottom turret as well?"

On the field, IG's bot laner went to the top lane, and no one came to defend the bot lane yet. However, Yasuo soon chose to go to the mid lane. Because of the wind wall, Uzi and Meiko had no choice but to give up.

"It's a pity about this wave. Yasuo is still good at defending the tower, otherwise IG would have lost at least two towers by now," Miller said, shaking his head.

"However, I feel that once IG gets into their rhythm, their disadvantage will seem to improve again. Despite being behind economically, they played very tenaciously. Can they maintain this momentum?"

"We said before the match that these two teams are top-tier teams in S10, and even globally, so the outcome was really hard to predict. However, Edg is currently in the lead. Let's see what happens at Baron Nashor in 20 minutes. With Varus and Rakan, I think the outcome will be decided at Baron Nashor."

Wawa's judgment was correct. Although Edg's lineup is very strong, it has a fatal flaw.

Whether it's Rumble in the mid lane or Leona in the bot lane, both of them are very aggressive in team fights, but in terms of burst damage, they are far inferior to IG.

Even though Edg is currently in a slight lead, they cannot afford to be reckless.

As time ticked by, Edg's top lane was pushed down by the team's macro play, and in exchange, IG's mid lane tower was also taken down.

Both sides began to establish vision around Baron Nashor, preparing for the upcoming team fight.

When Edg gained an economic lead, they naturally chose the most greedy playstyle, not only clearing out their own jungle but also invading IG's jungle.

However, if you walk along the river too much, your shoes will eventually get wet.

When Rumble once again ran into IG's jungle to farm the F6 camp, something unexpected happened. Ning's Lee Sin had somehow circled around to the bushes between the river lanes and suddenly emerged from behind, kicking Rumble against the wall without hesitation.

Then Yasuo followed up with his ultimate, and Rakan followed up with his second crowd control, instantly killing Rumble.

"Hey! Scout's Rumble proficiency isn't very high. It's Scout again. Ning is really targeting Rumble this game. When did he get there?" The scene was filled with commotion.

As Edg's advantage widened, they had a better vision range on the map than IG. However, even under these circumstances, Ning was still able to find an opportunity and ambush and kill Rumble here.

"Let's see what IG has to say. My god, how did the top laner get solo killed!"

The scene shifts, and Akali, who was fighting Aatrox, is now lying on the ground for some reason, while Aatrox still has two-thirds of his health remaining.

IG's sudden surge caught everyone off guard!
"Edg's top and mid laners suddenly made a mistake, which is a bit unexpected. With such perfect vision, this is a huge loss. Should IG try to take Baron?"

Wawa's words immediately made the previously dejected IG fans in the venue stand up and cheer.

Countless IG fans, who had been holding back all day, went wild at this moment!

"IG! IG!"

"No, Edg might be in trouble this time. They're only left with their jungler and bot lane."

"IG is about to take Baron Nashor. The timing is perfect. With Varus's damage output, IG will be able to take down Baron very quickly."

After saying that, in the game, after lying low for the entire match, the IG team finally opened up the situation by relying on vision and laning ability.

This is also the reason why other teams least want to face IG!
You never know when an IG player will suddenly unleash their full potential and pull off an unbelievable play.

That's the kind of monster TheShy is. Even when the game is clearly going to be a disadvantage, he can suddenly go and take on three or four opponents at once, and he often manages to get results.

"Attack! Rambo has 7 seconds left to respawn, can he make it in time?"

"Whether you let them have it or not, EDG has Miss Fortune and Leona, and they also have Kha'Zix. They can steal this Baron!"

Around the Dragon Pit, Nanfeng's Luo was already poised to strike, keeping a close eye on any Edg member who might appear in his field of vision.

His Flash and R skill were both off cooldown, and combined with Varus' R skill, it was enough to deal a devastating blow to Edg's formation in an instant.

At this time, a wave of internal struggle also began within the Edg team.

"Oh dear, oh dear, I didn't expect the enemy Lee Sin to be in that position. I was careless," Scout said apologetically.

As for Flandre, he's already in a state of self-reflection, wondering why he was solo-killed by Aatrox.

Zaozi remained silent, but his gaze remained fixed on the screen, and an indescribable atmosphere lingered in Edg's team voice chat.

"Mingkai, should we fight this wave or not!" Meiko glanced at the increasingly low health of the dragon, her eyes filled with anxiety.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Zaozi's expression changed slightly.

He wanted to fight!
With these two Cs, what more could one ask for!

"Why are you so hesitant now that you're with Edg? Let's go for it! We'll accept the loss!" After a quick glance at the situation, Li Luo made a decisive decision.
beat!
"Alright, let's go straight for it, we're not scared!" Upon hearing this, Brother Zaozi excitedly shouted, turned his gun around, and walked back towards the dragon.

This time, he's going to sacrifice himself to the tiger, pulling off an extreme maneuver.

"My God, it looks like Edg is going to take this wave, but their position doesn't seem to be the right one to contest the dragon. Is this a three-on-five situation?" The onlookers were also wide-eyed when they saw this scene.

Meanwhile, IG also spotted Edg's group and became tense.

"Oh dear, there's still a chance if we try to steal the dragon this time. Going straight for it is too risky. We're missing Rumble's ultimate and Akali's engage. Puff's output environment is too good. No one on EDG can touch them!" Wawa said regretfully upon seeing this.

“Impossible,” Miller shook his head, staring intently at the screen.

"I trust the factory manager; he wouldn't do something so dangerous. Let's see how Edg handles this!"

IG's speed in taking down Baron was too fast. Even though Edg made quick decisions, Baron's health was still dropping at a terrifying rate.

The Baron Nashor, which takes 20 minutes to form, doesn't deal much damage to begin with. With Lee Sin and Aatrox, they can easily withstand the Baron's damage.

But the next second...
A ray of sunlight descended from the sky, its target Luo!
Unexpectedly, Meiko would use her ultimate skill to target Nanfeng, who was nearby. Nanfeng was immediately frozen in place and entered a two-second stun period.

In that instant, Zaozi's female gunner suddenly activated her ultimate.

"Ahahahaha!"

Rookie instinctively released his Wind Wall, only to be surprised to find that Uzi's target was also very clear: Rakan!
Are both of them focusing their attacks on Luo?

crazy?

Before the IG members could think further, a blurry figure swept past Luo, and Mantis made a sudden move, instantly killing Nanfeng, who hadn't been able to break free from control the entire time.

On the field, the situation suddenly changed from three against five to three against four.

With no ultimate abilities available for Lee Sin, Aatrox, and Yasuo, everyone was surprised to find that the situation had been turned around.

Seeing this, the IG members became even more reckless and focused on attacking the dragon.

There's nothing we can do. Mid lane is Yasuo, top lane is Aatrox, and neither of us has a long-range ability to harass them.

"Edg's strategy was too clear. I don't know who was in charge. IG suddenly found themselves on the defensive. What should we do? What should we do? Ning needs to make a decision and take command quickly!"

At this point, only Puff's Varus has his ultimate ability, but he needs to save it for Kha'Zix. Otherwise, if he uses it on someone else, Kha'Zix will come up and he'll be doomed.

"Oh my, Zaozi used his movement speed to sneakily poke Varus again. Even if IG takes down Baron, not many of them will escape!"

"What can I say? My God, the damage from the Mantis is insane!" Miller hadn't even finished speaking when he froze on the spot.

Varus, who still had two-thirds of his health remaining, lost a full half of his health to an invisible threat QA from Kha'Zix.

My blood volume, which was originally quite healthy, suddenly plummeted to rock bottom.

Puff was terrified by this and immediately used Flash and Heal at the same time, but he didn't expect to Flash onto the tentacle that Baron was about to knock up.

"Ouch, so fragile, Varus, this mantis's damage is too..." Miller was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly gasped, his mouth agape in shock: "No way?"

in the game.

The instant the dragon was knocked up, Kha'Zix leaped into the dragon pit. Before he even landed, he and Zaozi secured Varus's kill in mid-air and used Varus's ultimate to jump into the bushes above the dragon pit.

"Mantis skimming the water! This is a mantis skimming the water! And there's a bush, the mantis has gone into stealth again, my god, IG only has three people left, are they not planning to give up Baron?"
