When DWG's base crystal exploded during Dao Mei's last draw, the entire venue seemed to be detonated as a nuclear bomb, and was instantly engulfed by a roaring and tsunami-like sound.
In the commentary box, the situation was completely out of control.
Miller suddenly jumped up from the chair, clenched his hands into fists, and the veins on his neck popped out, and his voice became hoarse due to excessive excitement: "Let two chase two! EDG is on the edge of the cliff, facing the arrogant DWG, and they drag the game into the decisive game! It's Brother Mozi! It's that man! He told the world with two unparalleled performances that the king of LPL has not abdicated yet!"
Rita's eyes were already red: "I don't know what to say... This is the legend, this is why we love this game so much! At the most desperate time, he came back, like a light, piercing all the darkness! He was not operating the wave of four kills, he was writing poetry! A poem of death that belongs to the blade!"
Guan Zeyuan adjusted his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were full of shock and disbelief.
He opened his mouth, but the analysis he had been eloquent in the past was stuck in his throat, and finally turned into a sigh: "I...I take back all my previous predictions. The current game has broken away from the categories of tactics and data. This is a duel of willpower. All I can say is... DWG is in danger."
The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene had already gone crazy.
The sounds gathered into an invisible giant wave, hitting the dome of the venue as if it was about to topple over.
The barrage in the official live broadcast room is a carnival of words.
"I really want to let two chase three!!"
"I cried, what about you? From 0:2 to 2:2, I thought it was a dream!"
"The senior colonel has already spoken! EDG is stable, brothers, the champagne can be opened in advance!"
"Who said Brother Mo Zi has retired? He just went to inspect his business empire!"
"aker: Times have changed. Su Mo: No, you came at the wrong time."
"I would like to call it the greatest performance of individual heroism in the history of the S game!"
"If EDG can win in the next fifth game, then Brother Mo Zi will be a real god!"
...
And in the center of this storm, Su Mo just calmly took off his headphones.
He heard the excited and heavy breathing of his teammates.
"We won...we won again!" Meiko's voice was trembling. He rushed over and gave Su Mo a solid bear hug, so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to rub him into his body.
"Brother Mozi, your kick...no, my kick matches yours, we are so handsome!" Jiejie was incoherent, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
He knew that that shocking roundhouse kick was not his fault alone. It was Su Mo's extremely calm "Jiejie step up" in his voice that gave him endless confidence and courage.
Su Mo smiled: "Okay, don't get too excited, everyone, there is still another game."
His words were like a basin of cold water, but they poured just right on everyone's burning hearts.
Yes, it’s not over yet.
The most crucial scene is yet to come.
They stood up and walked backstage with the attention of the entire audience.
The light in the passage is bright and dim, with loud cheers at one end, and the unknown leading to the decisive battle at the other end.
While passing by the DWG players' bench, Su Mo's eyes met with Aker's in the air.
The young man known as the "new king" no longer had the arrogance and confidence before the game, nor did he have the frustration and dejection of losing the game.
His eyes were filled with an almost burning calmness, like a bottomless pool of cold water with hot magma surging underneath.
That look says: You have won two games, but you have not won the whole war.
In EDG's lounge, the atmosphere is a blend of ice and fire.
As soon as the team members entered the door, Abu and the factory director greeted them.
Abu's face flushed with excitement and he hugged the team members one by one. When it was Su Mo's turn, he patted Su Mo's back hard and kept chanting: "Well done! Well done! You boy, I really deserve you!"
The factory director walked up to Su Mo and handed him a bottle of water, with an imperceptible smile on his lips: "It's been so long and your hands are still hot?"
"That's fine." The factory director nodded, then turned to everyone, the smile on his face faded and became serious, "Everyone sit down and listen to me first. We have won two games, which is very beautiful, and we have shown the bloody spirit of our LPL. But now, The score is 2:2, not 3:2. The next game is a BO1, a life-or-death game, with no escape route."
The rest room suddenly became quiet, and everyone sat upright, and the ecstasy just now was replaced by a kind of solemn concentration.
Su Mo put the water bottle on the table and glanced at each teammate: "The director is right. From now on, forget the first four games. Just treat it as the first and last game we play today. DWG's current mentality is definitely more terrifying than we imagined. They are mourning soldiers and beasts ready to fight. We cannot relax at all."
His voice was not loud, but it carried a convincing calmness.
Jiejie and Meiko took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. Even Hope, who needs psychological massage the most, has extremely firm eyes at this moment.
At the same time, on the other side, in the DWG lounge, there was deathly silence.
Coach Daeny did not fly into a rage as people imagined. He just stood silently, and the scene of the four kills of the Dao girl just now was repeatedly played on the huge screen.
That smooth operation, that precise prediction, every time it is replayed, is like a knife piercing the heart of every DWG team member.
In the room, there was only the slight sound of the mouse and keyboard being touched occasionally.
Canyon lowered his head, crossed his hands, and pinched his knuckles until they turned white. Nuguri stared at the image of Ornn falling on the screen, her lips pursed tightly.
"Mo..." After a long time, Aker spoke, breaking the suffocating silence. His voice was hoarse but extremely clear, "He is very strong, stronger than I thought..."
Coach Daeny finally moved. He turned off the video and turned around with sharp eyes: "So? Are you going to give up? Because he is alone, you are going to give up the championship that is so easy for you?"
"No."ake r raised his head, the fire in his eyes rekindled, stronger than ever before, "Coach, leave the counter position to me in the next game. I will defeat him with my own hands."
He didn't say "we", he said "I".
At this moment, he put all the pressure and responsibility on his shoulders. This is no longer a simple game, this is a duel where he stakes his name as the new king.
Canyon also raised his head and said to Aker: "I will help you."
Nuguri, BeryL, and Ghost all nodded silently.
There were no heroic words, but the desperate determination made the air in the entire lounge seem to freeze.
The short break is over, and the bell of the decisive round is about to ring.
When the two teams walked out of the tunnel again, the atmosphere at the scene reached an unprecedented peak.
If it was a carnival before, now it is a grand pilgrimage.
"EDG! Come on!"
"LPL! Win!"
The shouts are no longer just scattered names, but have gathered into a torrent of belief.
Su Mo was walking at the front of the team. He could feel the slightly rapid breathing of his teammates behind him, the hot gazes of tens of thousands of spectators, and the mixed atmosphere called "hope" and "tension" in the air.
He walked to his seat, sat down, and put on his headphones.
All the hustle and bustle of the outside world disappeared instantly, and the world became quiet.
On the big screen, the director gave him a very long close-up.
There was no tension or excitement at all on that handsome face, only a deep calmness, like the calmest sea before the storm.
He gently moved his fingers.
LPL viewers and summoners all over the world know this.
The last dance is about to begin.
The countdown to the half-time break was beating on the screen, and every second was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone’s heart.
The lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only beams of chasing light sweeping across the auditorium, illuminating faces filled with anticipation, nervousness, and enthusiasm.
The previous roaring like a mountain and a tsunami gradually subsided and was replaced by a thicker and more depressing hum.
This hum is composed of the heartbeats and breathing of tens of thousands of people, like the static electricity filling the air before a huge storm approaches.
In the commentary box, the three commentators also entered the final pre-war mobilization.
"Friends in the audience!" Miller's voice spread through the microphone to the entire audience and to the screens of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world. "Welcome back to the final battle of the 2020 League of Legends Global Finals! EDG vs. DWG, the fifth game of BO5! History is before our eyes! Will the LCK king return and regain glory? Or will our LPL withstand the pressure? Completed the most incredible matchup between two and three in the history of the S game! ?" "My palms are all sweaty!" Rita's voice was trembling, but more excited, "No matter what the result is, EDG has proven itself! Brother Mozi's return is like the most exciting comic plot! Now, we just need the most perfect ending!"
"I have nothing more to say." Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath, his expression more serious than ever before, "This is a real BO1, a battle that puts everything on the line. DWG has no retreat, and they will use all their trump cards. And EDG, after chasing two points in a row , the momentum is booming. This game not only tests the skills, but also the heart! Now, let’s witness the birth of the legend together!”
The barrage in the official live broadcast room has turned into a grand “Flag Pledge Conference”.
"If EDG can win this game, I will stand on my head and wash my hair live! I will do what I say!"
"If I win, I will confess to the girl I have had a crush on for three years! If I lose, I will never watch the game again!"
"Let me post it as proof! EDG won the championship, and I gave away my treasured Mo Ziyi signed team uniform in a lottery!"
"I don't care, as long as I win, I won't be in charge of the big school in this life!"
"Please, let two chase three! I am willing to trade my ten years of singleness for an LPL championship!"
"Stop it, stop it, my heart can't stand it, let's start!"
In the player tunnel, the two teams were waiting quietly.
On the DWG side, Aker closed his eyes and frantically reviewed the losses in the first two games in his mind.
Mo's unreasonable playing style was engraved in his mind like a brand.
He knew that conventional fighting methods could no longer restrict that man. You must...use the method he is best at to defeat him.
His fingers were tapping unconsciously. It was not nervousness, but an extreme desire to fight.
In the corridor of EDG, Su Mo was giving his final instructions.
He looked at Hope, the youngest player in the team with the most easily fluctuating mentality, and said calmly: "Hope, remember, you are just a tool in this game. If you can deal damage, use your skills. If you can't, use your skills. Don't get ahead. Survival is victory."
Finally, his eyes fell on the factory director's face.
The two of them looked at each other and said nothing.
"Please come on stage!"
With a high-pitched shout from the staff, the lights focused, and the two teams walked onto the stage again amidst thunderous applause.
Su Mo walked in the front, and the moment he sat down, all the eyes of the audience seemed to be focused on him.
He could feel Aker's gaze, which was a mixture of admiration, fighting spirit and madness.
Su Mo just nodded slightly as a response.
Heroes, cherish heroes.
But tonight, only one can stand at the end.
"Okay! Both players are ready! The BP of the deciding round has officially begun!" Miller's voice rose an octave.
DWG is on the blue side and EDG is on the red side.
BP in the first round:
DWG chooses to ban: Sword Girl, Pike, Wan Hao.
"No surprise!" Miller said, "DWG directly eliminated the heroic hero Mo Zi Ge played in the first two games! They don't want to see any warrior who can perform miracles appear on the top lane!"
EDG Ban: Male guns, Lilia, Lucian.
"EDG's response is also very resolute!" Rita analyzed, "Continue to block Canyon's wild core and Aker's signature mid laner! This is already a naked conspiracy, it depends on who has a deeper hero pool!"
First round Pick:
DWG's first choice: Ornn.
Guan Zeyuan nodded: "A very smart choice! Grab Ornn on the blue side, no matter what EDG chooses, Nuguri can guarantee its role in laning and team battles. This is the safest and most uncomfortable move for EDG."
EDG's first and second choices: Ezreal, the goddess of dawn.
"EZ plus Japanese girl!" Miller said, "EDG first determines the bottom lane combination. This combination is strong in the lane and flexible enough, so it is not easy to be targeted. Hope's mission is very clear, which is to stabilize development."
DWG's second and third choices: Ashe, Braum.
EDG three choices: blind monk.
Second round BP:
EDG Ban: Card, Galio.
"EDG continues to target the middle lane, not giving Aker any chance to roam for support, just to force him to go head-to-head with Scout in the middle lane!"
DWG Ban: Crocodile, Jayce.
"DWG has blocked several regular top laners. They just want to force Brother Mozi to get a tank or functional top laner so that he can't carry the game like the first two!"
The second round of selection, DWG's fourth choice: Kindred.
"Qianjue!" The whole place was in an uproar.
Miller exclaimed: "Canyon's Kindred! This is his unique skill! It is rare in the S game, but in the LCK, his Kindred is devastating! The ultimate move "Sheep Breath" perfectly restrains EDG's entry burst! DWG's lineup is almost perfect!"
EDG four choices: Clockwork Demon.
"Scout got Clockwork!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed, "This is the most stable mid laner choice. Although Syndra is under pressure, she can hold her own, and the role of the late team battle is much greater than Syndra. EDG will have to fight the late stage team battle with DWG."
Now, all the suspense is focused on the red square fifth floor, EDG's choice of top laner.
On the screen, in the available hero pool, almost all the conventional powerful top laners have been Ban/Picked.
The rest are either pure tanks like Sion and Dashu, or some heroes that are not suitable for the current lineup.
"What will Brother Mo Zi choose?"
"I feel like I can only get a tank."
"Don't take a tank. If you take it, you will leave your fate to your teammates."
In EDG's team voice, the coach's voice was also a little urgent: "Be more steady, Mo, get a Sion or a stone man, and we will fight as a team."
Su Mo didn't answer. His eyes slowly scanned the list of heroes, and finally, he stopped at an avatar that no one expected.
He stretched out his finger and tapped it lightly.
Locked!
When the hero's avatar appeared on the big screen, the whole world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button.
The silence lasted for three full seconds.
Three seconds later, the venue erupted into a louder and more incredible shout than any before!
』
"Am I right??"
In the commentary box, Miller almost jumped out of his chair, his voice changed tone:
H "Aatrox! Brother Mo was in the decisive game. Facing DWG's perfect lineup, he took out the sword demon that was abandoned by the version... ! ”
Rita’s eyes were full of disbelief, “In this version, Sword Demon has no resurrection, is fragile, and is extremely afraid of control. DWG has Ornn, Syndra, Han Bing, and Qian Jue, each of them is his nemesis! But he still chose it with confidence! Brother Mozi is crazy!”
"No...no..." Guan Zeyuan stared at the screen, as if to see through Su Mo's thoughts, "He is not crazy. He wants to use the most unreasonable way to break DWG's most perfect line of defense! He is telling everyone that League of Legends, It’s never a game that only looks at the lineup! He’s going to... give them death!”
Whether it’s LPL fans or LCK supporters, both players and spectators are excited at this moment.
This Sword Demon has nothing to do with victory or defeat, but only the pride and courage of a player!
Hong Kong Aaker looked at the figure wielding a giant sword on the screen, and his pupils shrank sharply.
h Then, he spoke softly: "I want Syndra."
h At this point, the final lineup was determined——
Blue square DWG: top laner Ornn, jungler Kindred, mid laner Syndra, ADC Ashe, and assist Braum.
Red side EDG: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Clockwork, ADC Ezreal, and assist Dawn Goddess.
"This is... the final battle." Miller looked at the screen with a solemn voice.
