Chapter 516 Precise Flash, LGD's desperate strike!
Barrels are known for their tough and resilient nature.

Even when knocked up by Cho'Gath's Q skill, LGD had no interest in following up with crowd control skills to focus fire on Gragas, as that would be a complete waste of skills.

After escaping the knock-up from Cho'Gath's Q skill, Gragas wanted to continue walking back to the mid lane.

PYL's Lulu then used her Flashy Spear (Q) on Gragas, but Gragas dodged it by turning around and repositioning himself.

However, because Gragas and Leona were blocked by Cho'Gath and Lulu, they were unable to return to the mid lane in time.

As a result, when the mid-lane minions of both sides clashed, LGD had more players on the front line than SKT.

The five LGD players had already huddled together.

Therefore, LGD cleared the mid-lane minion wave first.

Zhou Dian's Cho'Gath was at the forefront, leading the siege minions and his teammates behind him, pushing forward together.

Then, Zhou Dian scrolled up the chat box in the lower left corner of the screen.

[35.26: Karma's Flash]

The preceding numbers are timestamps.

The last four characters were typed by Zhou Dian in the chat box five minutes ago.

Nearly five minutes ago, Faker's Karma teleported behind Malzahar to engage him. As she emerged from her own blue buff area, she flashed and used her RQ combo on Malzahar, who was trying to use the Baron buff to quickly recall.

Although Karma's Flash + RQ combo missed, she didn't kill Malzahar on the spot.

However, Malzahar did die later, but the effect was the same.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key point is that Faker used Flash at 35 minutes and 24 seconds into the game.

Karma didn't buy CD boots in this game.

Zhou Dian can also confirm that Faker did not select the talent that reduces the cooldown of summoner spells in this game.

Therefore, Karma's Flash cooldown remains at the standard five minutes.

In other words, Karma's Flash will be available again at 39 minutes and 24 seconds into the game.

The game time is currently 39 minutes and 13 seconds!
At this moment, there are ten people on the field, with a total of twenty summoner spells, nineteen of which are on cooldown.

Karma's Flash is still on cooldown for about ten seconds.

"3924, 3924, GodV, there's a chance to Flash R Karma directly!" Zhou Dian said quickly in the LGD team voice chat.

"OK, OK!" Wei Shen nodded.

He certainly understood that the string of numbers Zhou Dian was referring to was the time it would take for Karma's Flash to recharge.

The reason I specifically instructed Wei Shen is that among LGD's several initiating ultimate moves, only Malzahar's ultimate is a targeted skill that is guaranteed to hit.

Other ultimate abilities, such as Varus's or Sejuani's, are not reliable.

The giant Cho'Gath pushed forward with the minion wave and his teammates, forcing back SKT's two carries directly in front of them.

Karma used her E skill to shield Tristana, and Bang's Tristana received the speed boost and quickly retreated to Karma's side.

The two then retreated together, waiting for their teammates to join them.

Huni's troll placed an Ice Pillar (E) on the right side, which knocked down the giant worm charging at the front, slowing it down.

Then he turned around and prepared to go into his own blue buff area, circle around the jungle and meet up with his own two carries.

Meanwhile, Gragas and Leona, who had been pressured by Zhou Dian and PYL and hadn't returned to the mid lane immediately, turned around and went into their own red buff area.

They were also preparing to circle around the jungle and meet up with their own two carries.

At this point, SKT encountered a problem with their formation becoming scattered, leaving their two carries unprotected.

Even though one of SKT's two carries is Karma, a mid-laner with strong protective abilities.

But those few seconds were undoubtedly a golden opportunity for LGD.

The game time is currently 39 minutes and 18 seconds, with six seconds remaining before Karma's Flash is ready again.

LGD wants to use those last six seconds to do something.

Wei Shen controlled Malzahar to walk forward, his eyes fixed on Karma ahead, when suddenly PYL screamed in his headset.

"Damn it, they gave it to the wrong person!"

After seeing Karma use her E skill on Tristana, PYL immediately prepared to use Lulu's W skill on Malzahar.

After Malzahar receives the speed boost from Lulu's W skill, he can dash forward to see if he can reach a distance where he can Flash and use his ultimate on Karma.

However, after giving Lulu's E skill shield to Varus, PYL habitually also gave his W skill to Varus.

After three consecutive high-intensity matches, especially after that relentless push to destroy SKT's base crystal a few minutes ago.

PYL's mind was indeed a little dizzy.

However, the competition was still in full swing, and there was no time for him to relax and adjust.

Eimy, standing to the side, did the same.

When Zhou Dian's Cho'Gath pushed forward, his Sejuani, another front-line unit in the team, didn't push forward with Zhou Dian. Instead, she moved sideways, and it was unclear what she was doing.

Apart from Eimy, who was also somewhat dazed like PYL, the other three members of LGD didn't pay attention to PYL's earlier scream.

Zhou Dian and Wei Shen both shifted their gaze slightly downwards, focusing on imp's Varus.

After Lulu's whimsical idea (W) was given to imp's Varus, Varus's movement speed increased dramatically.

With his movement speed greatly increased, Varus charged forward without stopping for a moment.

As Varus charged towards the giant bug, imp swiftly activated his Flash.

The game time was 39 minutes and 21 seconds, and Karma's Flash was only three seconds away from being available again.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and Varus teleported forward a short distance.

At the same time, the Chains of Corruption (R) shot from Varus's longbow, heading straight for Karma ahead.

At this moment, Karma's left side is the wall of F6, while Varus's ultimate is aimed slightly to Karma's right.

Without Flash or the speed boost from her E skill, Karma has no chance of dodging Varus's ultimate.

Even the person who played Karma has the ID Faker!

In the commentary box.

Miller, who was already standing while commentating, suddenly jumped up again and shouted urgently, "Varus suddenly flashed and used his ultimate to kill Faker!"

"Faker got instantly killed!"

Miller, PDD, and Remember, the three commentators on site, all shouted this sentence in unison at this moment.

As Corruption Chains (R) hit Karma, Varus unleashed his Q, E, and Blade of the Ruined King active abilities all at once on Karma.

imp was afraid he wouldn't be able to kill Karma instantly.

However, this is clearly an overreaction.

Faker's Karma didn't bring Cleanse or build Mercury's Treads in this game.

He was already dead when he was hit by Varus's ultimate.

Zhou Dian's Cho'Gath immediately followed up with his Q skill, and Eimy's Sejuani quickly followed up with her Q and unleashed her Frostbite (R) on the immobilized Karma.

After being hit by Varus's ultimate, Karma was instantly killed by LGD's top, bottom, and jungle trio in just one second. When Varus's Chains of Corruption (R) hit Karma, it also spread to the nearby Tristana.

Karma had just died, and the corruption chains that had spread to Tristana also triggered the imprisonment effect.

The small cannon was trapped in place.

However, Bang didn't use Quicksilver to break the restraint at all. Instead, he directly used Explosive Spark (E) on Varus's head and started attacking Varus.

Bang knew very well that after Faker's Karma was instantly killed by LGD, SKT, with one less player and no inhibitor turrets, faced the prospect of being pushed down by LGD in one fell swoop.

Bang wanted to quickly kill Varus so that the remaining four members of SKT would still have a chance to turn the tide of the team fight.

A fully equipped Tristana in the late game has the ability to quickly eliminate squishy heroes.

Bang didn't use Mercury to remove the restraints on Tristana because he was determined to fight LGD to the bitter end.

Save the Mercury's Treads to counter Malzahar's ultimate.

Otherwise, even if Varus is killed, Malzahar's ultimate ability could easily kill him.

When Faker was caught out, the three members of SKT—top, jungle, and support—who had already entered the jungle, immediately turned back to the mid lane.

The moment Karma died, Wolf's Leona unleashed Solar Flare (R) on Varus, hitting Varus squarely in the center of the ultimate.

Varus was stunned and stood there in a daze!
When the cannon activates Rapid Fire (Q), its attack speed is immediately maximized.

In just over a second, three basic attacks landed on Varus, followed by an ultimate attack.

Along with the devastating shot (R), there's also a basic attack from the cannon.

This is a very standard Raid combo for Tristana.

The reason Bang was in such a hurry to zoom in was that the big bug was already on his face, so he had to pull it back first.

Moreover, Tristana had already unleashed her entire combo of damage on Varus in the shortest amount of time.

If this can't kill Varus, then nothing can kill him.

Because Malzahar and Lulu, who were at the very back, had caught up.

After Varus was hit by Leona's ultimate, imp quickly activated his Barrier.

At the same time, Eimy quickly activated the Aegis of the Legion on Sejuani.

The little cannon landed three basic attacks on Varus, not only shattering his two thick shields but also reducing Varus's health by half.

Then Varus was hit by Tristana's ultimate, his health dropped even further, and he was also pushed away.

Just then, Leona's Zenith Blade (E) was aimed at Varus.

Although Leona flew towards Varus's location, Varus was knocked away by Tristana's ultimate halfway there.

Leona's Dawnbreaker (Q) was already in her hand but couldn't land a hit on Varus's head.

If we can't keep Varus under control, we can only hope that Tristana's finishing RA can kill Varus.

As Varus was being pushed backward by Tristana's ultimate, the auto-attack following Tristana's ultimate also landed on Varus.

This is the fourth basic attack that Tristana gave Varus after applying Explosive Spark (E) to him.

Four basic attacks ignited an explosive spark!
At this point, Varus had not yet landed.

After imp's Varus was hit by Tristana's ultimate, he flew past PYL's Lulu.

PYL knew very well that Varus was at this health level and would basically be killed by the Explosive Spark, so he hurriedly tried to use his ultimate on Varus.

But given PYL's current dazed state, Varus flew right past him, and his mouse didn't click on Varus immediately.

In his haste, PYL didn't have time to tap Varus's portrait in the bottom right corner to unleash his ultimate ability; he quickly used his own heal.

Varus received Lulu's healing, and then the explosion sparks above his head also went off.

This treatment is extremely crucial.

After the explosion above Varus's head, Varus still had about a hundred drops of health left.

Without Lulu's healing, Varus would have been killed instantly by Tristana's E skill.

Of course, if PYL had been able to use Lulu's ultimate on Varus immediately, the situation wouldn't have been so thrilling.

Varus ultimately survived. Just like the previous two times, it seemed that Tristana's ultimate ability pushed Varus away, saving his life.

The first two times were indeed Bang's mistakes.

This time, Bang has done his best.

But Varus did not die.

Then SKT can only be the one to die!
In the commentary box.

"Imp is stunned by Leona's ultimate, can he survive?" Miller asked rapidly.

"Varus was pushed away by Tristana's ultimate, but he didn't die!" PDD shouted excitedly.

"Imp survived again, thank you, Bang!"

Even in such a tense and decisive moment, when PDD uttered "Thank you, bang," it still drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

Although Bang's actions this time were really fine, he just lacked a bit of luck and damage.

But there's nothing we can do; the images of you saving Varus with your ultimate abilities the first two times were just too unforgettable!
After Tristana used her RA, she immediately used Rocket Jump (W) to jump backward, creating distance between herself and Cho'Gath.

Zhou Dian activated the Gargoyle Stoneplate Armor, and the giant worm's health instantly surged to eight thousand.

The health bars are so densely packed that they make you lose your appetite.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after the explosion above imp's Varus's head, he was still alive with a sliver of blood.

The little cannon's ultimate push sent Varus to the right side of the barrel.

Blank quickly controlled Gragas to unleash a Body Bomb (E) attack on Varus.

But the barrel had only hit half of the barrel when Varus, who had suddenly grown larger, sent him flying.

At the same time, Varus's health also suddenly increased significantly.

Lulu has already given Wild Growth (R) to Varus.

If Lulu can't use her ultimate on Varus by this point, then PYL is really out of the game.

After Varus gets hit by Lulu's ultimate, Blank, the tanky Gragas, will definitely pose no threat to Varus.

On the contrary, Gragas was being chased and relentlessly attacked by Varus, and his health dropped rapidly.

The barrel quickly threw an exploding barrel (R) behind it and then ran away without looking back.

Varus was blown away by Gragas' ultimate, and imp was too lazy to chase Gragas, so he controlled Varus to turn back to his teammates.

At this moment on the front line, Huni's troll charged in from the right and was immediately pinned to the ground and unable to move by Malzahar's Nether Grasp (R).

However, Malzahar had barely finished casting his ultimate when Leona slammed him in the face with a Dawnbreaker (Q).

Malzahar was stunned by Leona's Q skill, and his ultimate was naturally interrupted as well.

Meanwhile, Tristana, who had just created some distance between herself and Cho'Gath, saw Cho'Gath turn back to find Troll Warlord and immediately closed in, starting to attack Malzahar, who was stunned by Leona.

After two basic attacks from the cannon, Malzahar's health dropped by more than half.

However, the usefulness of the mercury shoes became apparent at this point.
