Chapter 296: Entrapment Leads to MSI Championship Win!

For SKT, whose actual disadvantages are already very significant.

From the moment LGD's Baron buff ends until the second Baron spawns in this game.

These few minutes were the few minutes during which SKT faced relatively less offensive pressure.

In the last few minutes, the LGD players were just farming minions, clearing jungle camps, and setting up vision.

They will not initiate any aggressive or overly aggressive behavior.

It's very simple, just wait for the next dragon to spawn.

At this point, you absolutely must not give SKT any chance.

When the game time was approaching 32 minutes.

The second Baron Nashor spawned in this game.

LGD had already secured vision of the entire area around the Dragon Pit.

Next, LGD only needs to use Baron Nashor to fish.

We just need to wait for SKT to come to us.

In League of Legends, the biggest tactic is for the winning team to bait the losing team into taking Baron or Elder Dragon.

Based on SKT's lineup in this game.

They lack the incredible wave-clearing ability to clear minions buffed by Baron Nashor from a distance.

For example, a dual-carry combination like Tsar and Sivir.

Then it's impossible to truly and completely give up on the dragon.

SKT absolutely must defend this dragon.

This means that LGD's fishing strategy is bound to succeed.

It's simply a contest of patience between the two sides.

At this moment.

Whoever lacks patience will be the first to show their weakness.

Of course, when the side with a greater advantage reveals a weakness, the side with a disadvantage may not be able to accurately seize upon it.

But what if it were the other way around?

When the weaker party reveals a weakness.

That's when they'll be shattered by the dominant force.

With a leading perspective.

LGD staged two consecutive fake Baron fights before actually engaging in team fights.

Although neither of these two attempts resulted in a group being formed.

However, they successfully forced SKT to use three Flash spells.

As SKT's Flash usage decreased, so did the number of Flashes they used.

It seems only a matter of time before LGD successfully initiates team fights.

Perhaps in the next wave.

Perhaps it will be the next wave.

But it doesn't matter.

The LGD players were incredibly patient with this fishing game.

In contrast.

On the contrary, SKT was the first to lose patience.

This is also normal.

The SKT players knew very well that LGD had been holding the initiative all along.

If whether or not LGD gets the first move is entirely up to them.

Then all that awaits SKT is defeat.

It's either this wave or the next one.

You don't have unlimited Flash to thwart the opponent's team fight initiation.

Anyway, there will always be a time when LGD will be able to initiate a successful team fight.

Rather than sitting idly by and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative and fight back.

Only by taking the initiative can one have a chance of survival.

After changing my approach.

SKT retreated from the upper river to their own blue buff area.

We plan to enter the upper river from the intersection in front of our own blue buff camp, which will take us directly to the front of the Baron pit, where we can immediately start a team fight.

After seeing SKT players withdraw from the river.

LGD's first reaction was that SKT had given up on the Baron.

The current situation near the Dragon Pit is indeed very unfavorable for SKT.

If things continue like this, SKT will soon be dragged down by LGD's sting operation.

But LGD immediately rejected this idea.

For SKT, what difference would it make if they gave up this Baron Nashor or just surrendered it?
SKT is also a Korean team.

However, they are not the typical Korean teams that are stereotyped as being able to just let things go and leave the base open.

This team is not afraid at all.

PYL just warned to be careful of SKT's flanking maneuvers.

SKT players have already attacked from the side.

SKT's initiative was somewhat unexpected.

With all their skills combined, they instantly killed the policewoman, Imp, who had been standing furthest away from them but was now closest.

Even with Bloom around, they couldn't save the policewoman.

However, SKT is at a significant disadvantage.

In order to kill the policewoman, he used a lot of his skills.

And then there's the most important point.

LGD doesn't just have one marksman.

The policewoman fell, and there was still a male gunman.

At this moment, Graves already has four core items.

At this point, the policewoman seems more like bait for LGD.

Zhou Dian's Graves is LGD's true ADC.

None of the players on SKT are true frontcourt players.

I can't handle Graves' damage at all.

One shot and a huge chunk of health drops.

It felt like it hit a major artery.

Ultimately, with a large number of skills being used to rush down the policewoman.

LGD countered with a 4v5 strategy, wiping out SKT in one fell swoop.

The male gunner gets a triple kill!

One for five!

LGD only lost one female police officer.

"ACE! Beautiful!" Miller shouted at the top of his lungs.

He was extremely agitated at that moment.

Because he knows it very well.

The MSI championship trophy is now very close to LGD's grasp.

Within reach!

After wiping out SKT, the situation on all three lanes was not good.

If it's a one-off attack, there might be some risks involved.

It's not necessarily possible to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Although LGD still has four players, they are all in poor form.

If this wave doesn't end, something serious could easily happen.

Therefore, LGD chose to go for Baron Nashor instead of attempting a final push. They had already secured the game, so one more push wouldn't make a difference.

The game lasts for 33 minutes.

LGD successfully secured their second Baron Nashor in this game.

In the official LPL tournament live stream room.

The live chat was filled with jubilation.

Some viewers have already started spamming "Congratulations LGD!" in advance.

To be honest, this game has gone this far.

LGD's advantage is indeed too great.

Victory is indeed already in LGD's grasp.

There are no longer any taboos such as "opening champagne in advance" or "poisonous milk".

How does flying dragon riding face lose?
One minute later.

With their supplies fully replenished, the LGD team, along with minions buffed by the Baron buff, advanced towards SKT's high ground.

LGD's side is a 4-1 split.

Zhou Dian's Graves took the top lane, while the other four LGD players took the mid lane.

Both the central and upper high ground were attacked simultaneously.

Faced with a significant disadvantage, SKT had no choice but to abandon the top lane inhibitor and instead defend the mid lane inhibitor.

Because if someone goes to defend the top lane high ground alone, it's just feeding the Graves.

Huni's Rumble went to defend the top lane inhibitor tower. After being slowed by Graves' smoke grenade, he was shot twice by Graves and lost most of his health.

If Huni hadn't activated Zhonya's Hourglass in time to dodge Graves' ultimate bomb (R) intended to finish off a tower dive, he would have been much better off.

Rumble should have died after just one encounter with Graves.

There's a Graves with explosive firepower on the side lane.

SKT could only choose one lane to defend, either the top lane inhibitor or the mid lane inhibitor.

We simply don't have the ability to defend two high ground positions at the same time.

Soon, Zhou Dian's Graves destroyed SKT's top lane inhibitor turret.

Then they took down SKT's top lane nexus.

Then, Zhou Dian immediately pressed the teleport button.

LGD had already dealt with the minion wave in the bottom lane.

Although no one went to take it.

But at this point, they naturally advanced to SKT's bottom lane inhibitor.

After Zhou Dian destroyed SKT's top lane.

They immediately teleported to the bottom lane without stopping.

Graves teleported in and cleared the blue minion wave in front of him with a single Q skill.

Then, taking the red team's minion wave, they entered SKT's bottom lane inhibitor tower and started attacking it.

SKT still can't defend against Graves.

If two or three people go to the side lane high ground to defend against Graves.

This means that their own mid-lane high ground will be lost immediately.

In fact, SKT is already facing a dead end.

Faced with such a dead end, SKT chose to make a final desperate attempt.

While Graves is still attacking the bottom lane inhibitor turret.

SKT initiated a team fight right in front of the mid-lane inhibitor tower.

Five against four, let's launch a quick attack!
Otherwise, we'll be broken through three routes.

However, the huge economic gap, coupled with the difference in the late-game strength of the two teams' lineups, makes this a significant challenge.

Even with five against four, SKT couldn't gain any advantage.

Soon, Zhou Dian's Graves arrived from the bottom lane to join the fight in the mid lane.

With Graves arriving, SKT's already unfavorable team fight situation worsened.

It was completely one-sided.

Two SKT players were killed instantly.

The three remaining low-health enemies escaped, but the LGD players didn't chase after them.

Anyway, they'll just come knocking on our door again.

Unless the three of them are standing in the fountain, watching LGD push the base crystal.

However, the three surviving SKT members were a little slow to act.

Or rather, LGD's players are advancing too fast.

When the remaining three members of SKT emerged from the fountain, having recovered most of their health.

The left-side nexus tower in front of SKT's base crystal has already been destroyed by LGD.

Subsequently.

LGD's five players completely ignored the remaining three SKT players and quickly destroyed another inhibitor turret.

"The right-side turret has also been destroyed, LGD is going to win!" Miller shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Never mind, never mind, push the crystal, push the crystal!" Rita shouted.

On the large screen at the scene.

As the twin towers of the front teeth collapsed.

The blue team's base crystal is now completely exposed.

Under the attack of several LGD players, plus a group of minions buffed by the Baron buff.

Just three seconds.

SKT's base crystal shattered with a deafening roar.

In the commentary box.

The doll shouted, "We've got it! We've won! Now, let's..."

Congratulations to LGD!

The three commentators shouted in unison, "Congratulations to LGD!"

And in the official LPL live stream room.

The live chat was already flooded with messages of "Congratulations LGD!"

The entire live stream screen was completely blocked by this same comment, with not a single bit showing.

"So what if they're the three-time world champions SKT? We'll still take them down!"

Miller couldn't resist starting the classic "winner's smug face" segment of the LPL region.

"Tell me loudly, who was the champion of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational?"

Immediately after saying that, Miller answered his own question.

"The champion of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational was LGD from the LPL region!"

At this point, the director had already turned the camera to the players' seats.

In the LGD player seat.

Apart from Zhou Dian, the other four had just taken off their headphones and thrown them on the table, and had just stood up from their seats.

The coaching staff of LGD, as well as the "King of the Road" who was a substitute but never played, and the team leader of LGD.

A group of people rushed from the lounge to the players' bench.

Then the group of people huddled together.

After hopping and jumping around for several seconds...

Dgc then realized that Zhou Dian was still sitting in the chair and hadn't gotten up.

He quickly went over and pulled Zhou Dian up.

Zhou Dian smiled slightly and joined the team in their bouncing and jumping celebration.

Seeing this, Wawa immediately said, "I feel that Zhou Shen is really tired this time! So tired that he didn't immediately join in the celebration with his teammates!"

“Yes!” Miller nodded. “In this final, Zhou Shen completely unleashed his full potential. You could even say that Zhou Shen performed beyond his already formidable abilities!”

"Without Zhou Shen creating a huge gap in the top lane, it will be difficult for LGD to win this final!"
