Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 58 BO5 God
"Push, push, push! Go to the bottom lane! Yan Junze, go to the bottom lane and push! Hurry up!"

"Three men push through the middle, and Yan Junze will handle the rest."

In this wave, RNG only lost Xiangguo, while SSG was wiped out. The earliest one still had 38 seconds left, which was more than enough time.

"Liu Shiyu, Liu Shiyu, listen up, this is a live broadcast, please tone it down."

Excited, Xiangguo jumped up from the stool, almost falling over, which startled the supervisor next to him, who repeatedly reminded him.

"That little dog's flash-based damage, especially with that instant backstab technique, really showed incredible nerve."

The child smiled wryly.

The difference between top professional players and ordinary professional players is very thin.

Some people spend their entire careers as professionals and remain unknown, while others are incredibly audacious and often make inexplicable moves.

In the game League of Legends, the difference between a top 10 amazing play and a terrible, mediocre one is very thin.

Perhaps in ranked games, all professional players can pull off amazing plays, leaving their opponents in awe, with various tower dives, baiting opponents into coming back from near-death, and frequently making it into highlight reels.

But once it comes to the competition, he becomes just another ordinary person.

There are only two reasons for this. First, the intensity of professional matches is different. Even in high-elo Korean solo queue games, players fight individually, with at most mid-jungle or top-jungle synergy.

However, in a match, everything is interconnected. When you're on the offensive, you not only have to consider whether you can get the kill, but also whether your teammates can follow up.

Secondly, it's because they're afraid. Even if many professional players know they can get a kill or pull off a superb play, the chances of failure are high; it's not a sure thing.

If this happened in a ranked match, at most it would be considered that the player was out of form or made a mistake. People would make a highlight reel to watch, have a laugh, and say that today's play was truly hilarious, but not many people would criticize it.

However, in a competition, especially an important one, if you make a mistake that you could have avoided, and you still make that mistake and fail, the whole game will collapse and you will lose because of it.

Just like the previous play, if you flash in and the enemy reacts and kills you instantly, leaving your teammates bewildered as you flash in and feed the enemy kills, then you'll definitely be the subject of Teacher Xu's mountain patrol footage.

The chat was instantly filled with question marks, along with a barrage of comments like, "Flash to feed the enemy? Are you kidding me?"

In the bustling Bird's Nest stadium, amidst the overwhelming cheers like a tidal wave and the commentators' heart-wrenching encouragement, the atmosphere was electric.

RNG's four surviving members rushed towards the high ground. Kennen, being fast, used his E skill to accelerate and push the minion wave down the bottom lane, while the other three directly crossed the high ground tower and rushed towards the Nexus.

The completed Xayah can take down towers too quickly, and with AD Kennen's lane-pushing speed, Karma's Ardent Censer can reach four people.

In just a few seconds, the turret in front of the crystal lost half its health. Once the lane came over, a turret would be destroyed every three seconds.

Every basic attack not only struck the hearts of domestic players, but also the hearts of Korean players. The match point game was about to be lost!
Both sides returned to the starting line.

If two teams can reach a best-of-five series, then there's definitely not much difference in skill level. The fifth game will depend more on luck and mentality.

As Xayah, with her W active, shattered the last sliver of health on the enemy's crystal with a single auto-attack, the screen suddenly froze, and the RNG logo, with its four black backgrounds and gold-edged lettering, slowly rose up.

With the score tied at 2-2, the game has truly reached match point.

The base exploded, and both teams got up. Compared to RNG's excited expressions, SSG seemed to have a strange atmosphere. Ambition coldly took off his headphones, ignoring his teammates who were still lagging behind, and walked straight backstage.

Crown Bro, sitting next to me, also seemed to be in a bad mood. He picked up his and Master An's cups and followed behind.

Upon seeing this, Ruler and KouJJ both got up and left.

It's match point again, and the same format as S6 has arrived. The BO5 curse hangs over every Samsung player, and they couldn't win the last game despite their best efforts.

When Coach Edgar arrived at the soundproof room, only Withered was left, burying his face in his hands on the table. Edgar, who was furious, didn't say anything, just patted Withered on the shoulder, and the two of them went backstage.

Sitting in the lounge, Sect Leader An's face was ashen.

Why? Why could a top-tier LCK top laner be completely dominated by a low-level LPL top laner?
That's all fine, but the blame for the last wave still mainly lies with Ruler.

Why did Ruler still have Flash in his hand when he died, but didn't Flash back after seeing Uzi use Flash?
As a professional player, even if Xayah's damage comes incredibly fast, there should still be at least a second, right? You still can't react to that?
But is this really the ruler's fault?

Reaction speed sounds obvious, but it's actually quite mysterious when you talk about it.

For example, if you are playing a game and accidentally bump your arm into a cup on the corner of the table, and catch the cup with your hand at the last second, that's called reaction speed.

However, in professional League of Legends matches, reaction speed is not defined in this way.

For example, in a random match, if we see the enemy's Malphite poised to attack, and he runs up to use his ultimate (R), the chances of dodging it are very high. This kind of prepared reaction speed is what players consider important.

Conversely, in a complex and chaotic situation, an AD player not only has to take care of positioning, output, and survival, but also their attention will quickly become scattered at the end of a team fight.

At this point, if an unexpected move is made, there's basically no time to react, and if you're not careful, the AD player will be blamed.

No matter how strong an AD carry is, there will be times when they suddenly die. Even JackeyLove, who is widely recognized as the strongest team fight player in the LPL, often dies suddenly while walking.

Compared to S8 and S9, the chance of AD carries dying suddenly is still very small. However, once top lane fighters rise to prominence in S8, Fiora can one-shot AD carries with two hits, and Aatrox can instantly kill them with a QA combo after activating his ultimate. Similar situations will become more and more common.

Back in the rest room with coach Edgar, Kuwei looked vacant. The real reason for this defeat was him; Letme had completely dominated the top lane.

Another example is the team fight around Baron Nashor, where Gnar's teleportation and subsequent solo kill became SSG's weak point.

However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to say anything to him. Everyone sat in silence. It was the fifth game, and they wanted to rest for a while, as the previous four games had taken a toll on them.

"Alright, now both sides are back to square one. Uzi is on the field, and RNG's five players put in another strong effort, tying the score at 2-2. The final game will decide the fate of the team."

"The MVP of this game goes to Letme. Indeed, although Uzi's last play was brilliant, we can all see the changes Letme made throughout the game."

As Wawa looked at the data transmitted by the director, she appeared a little nervous, but her fighting spirit remained undiminished.

Domestic players all know this.

LPL teams are all gods in the fifth game of a best-of-five series.
