Diana’s moonlight scythe, like Death’s scythe, harvests RNG’s last hope.
Hunted by the center of the Moon Goddess and Ryze's runes, Little Tiger's Lucian was unable to perform any effective operations at all. Before the bullets from the Holy Spear had a chance to be fired, they were instantly melted by the terrifying magic damage.
Subsequently, the cards that lost their protection could not escape their misfortune, and eventually fell under Diana's sharp blade.
【ACE!】
The crisp and cold team-kill prompt sounded throughout Summoner's Rift, and also sounded the death knell of RNG's first game.
"What a brilliant fight!" Miller's voice was hoarse but full of uncontrollable passion, "EDG's perfect pull and counterattack! EDG withstood RNG's strongest offensive on the frontal battlefield, and their sharpest knife - Mo, went around and directly cut into RNG's lifeline! RNG's tactics were completely shattered!"
EDG's team voice was filled with joy.
"Nice brothers!" Meiko shouted excitedly, "This wave is going great! Scout, your backhand W is so crucial!"
Scout just hummed calmly, and then commanded: "Get the baron, don't worry, Viper, go back to the city to replenish your health, we'll wait for you."
“Brother Mozi,” Jiejie’s voice was full of admiration, “You are so good at going around the back. I didn’t even see you come over when the fight started, and the GALA people were gone.”
Su Mo yawned lazily: "His flash position is too dead. If you don't kill him, it will be useless. Push, don't wave, and get off work early."
In the battle seat of RNG, five players looked helplessly at their gray screens, and there was a dead silence in the lounge.
Xiaohu took off his headphones and rubbed his temples vigorously, his face full of frustration.
"Oh my," Wei's voice was low, "I shouldn't have gone up and fired the Viper like that, the formation was out of touch."
"It's not your fault," Ming, the captain, took a deep breath and tried to stabilize the morale of the army. "It's our overall decision-making that went wrong. We wanted to seize the opportunity too much, but we were led by them. Especially when we were bypassed by Scissor Girl. But it doesn't matter, we still have to fight this one, hold the high ground, and wait for resurrection."
However, EDG with Baron Nash's buff will not give them any chance to breathe.
After the five people returned to the city to supply supplies, the strengthened soldiers with purple auras were divided into three groups, like three indestructible swords, pointing directly at the high ground of RNG.
· RNG players have just been resurrected, and they have to face the pressure of this devastating military line.
They worked tirelessly to clean up the three lines of troops pouring into the high ground, but the health of the defense tower was still being eaten away at a rapid rate.
At 28 minutes, EDG gathered in the middle, preparing to launch the final attack.
"EDG is about to make a wave!" Watanabe said, "RNG can only defend passively now, they have no capital to counterattack!"
"GALA! GALA's position!"
At this moment, Ming found a fleeting opportunity!
He saw Viper's Aphelios standing slightly forward in order to hit the tower, and decisively pointed at it with the flash E skill [Zenith Blade]!
"Ming doesn't want to give up! He's still looking for opportunities!"
However, beside Viper, there will always be the most reliable man.
Meiko's Thresh reaction was extremely fast. The moment Leona flew up, he used the E skill Pendulum of Doom with his backhand, forcibly brushing Ming down in mid-air, interrupting his entry!
At the same time, Su Mo's Gwen didn't pay attention to the frontal pull.
After he pushed down the highland tower on the bottom lane, he directly inserted himself from the highland into the opposite back row!
· RNG was only focused on the frontal team battle. When Gwen came over, it was already a step too late to leave.
Su Mo’s Gwen seemed to be in a no-man’s land. He fired three big moves in unison, and combined with the real damage of the Q skill, he killed RNG’s double C again.
Gwen himself is a numerical monster, not to mention Su Mo’s Gwen economy is the best in the game. The resources of the lane and RNG jungle have fed him into a boss.
In the frontal battlefield, RNG, which lost its back row, suffered a devastating defeat.
In the end, with the crisp sound of the RNG base crystal exploding, the much-anticipated first game of the "E-Sports Spring Festival Gala" came to an end with EDG's hearty crushing victory.
…
In the short break, the atmosphere in the lounges of the two teams was completely different.
· On EDG's side, the team members were talking and laughing. Jiejie was still imitating Su Mo's last operation of blocking the spring water, which made everyone laugh.
"It was a good fight," the factory director and Abu walked in with satisfied smiles on their faces, "The momentum of the first game was shown. But don't take it lightly."
Abu walked to the tactical board and analyzed: "Although RNG's tactics failed in the first game, it just proved their determination. I guess, in the next game, they will play more extreme. They may give up the lane and choose Develop a world-class lineup, such as Shen, Galio, and Nightmare, and forcefully disrupt our rhythm through early and mid-term support."
He looked at Su Mo: "Brother Mo Zi, in the next game, they may try to avoid head-on confrontation with you online. You must be prepared to be let go, and then be ready to support at all times."
Su Mo nodded to express his understanding.
In the RNG lounge, the atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed like it could drip water.
Head coach Tabe did not immediately blame the players. He just waited quietly for them to recover from the shadow of the defeat.
"Everyone." Tabe's voice broke the silence, "We just lost one game, the sky has not fallen yet! We are RNG, when have we ever been afraid of challenges?"
The team members slowly raised their heads, with confusion and unwillingness still in their eyes.
"I know, we were perfectly restrained in the first game." Tabe's eyes swept over everyone, "This proves one thing. It is impossible to defeat Mo through pure laning and ganking. His game understanding and reaction are beyond the conventional scope."
He paused, changed his words, and his eyes became sharp: "In that case, let's change the way we play! We won't play laning with him anymore!"
He picked up a pen and wrote down the names of several heroes on the tactical board: Twisted Dryad, Eternal Nightmare, and Yasuo.
"In the next game, we will completely give up on the top lane!" Tabe's voice became decisive, "Xiaohu, you take the big tree. Your only task is to stay in the lane. If you can get soldiers, you can take them. If you can't, use skills to make up for it. Then, you can push the tower without thinking and use "Explosion" to consume the HP of the defensive tower, and keep him in the top lane!"
"Wei, you take Nightmare!" He looked at the jungler, "Abandon all your ganking ideas. There is only one thing in your world - jungle farming! Reach level six as quickly as possible, and then find opportunities to gank other lanes!"
"Cryin, you take Yasuo!" This choice surprised everyone.
Tabe explained: "EDG will definitely think that we will continue to use cards or Galio to support, so we will do the opposite! Yasuo's entry in conjunction with Nightmare is the key to us killing their back row instantly! Moreover, Yasuo's wind wall can perfectly restrain the opponent's double C!"
"Our tactics are very simple," Tabe concluded. "In the early stage, avoid all battles! Xiaohu is holding Mo on the top lane, and the others are developing like crazy. When Wei's Nightmare turns off the lights at level 6, our Nakano Assistant, and even GALA, five of us, fly directly to the bottom lane! We just want to use the most unreasonable, multi-player people who ignore vision to cross the tower and penetrate their bottom lane at once! Then control the dragon, take the tower, and snowball!"
This is an almost crazy tactic that takes "gambling" to the extreme.
After listening to the coach’s instructions, the RNG players had different expressions.
The main reason is that Yasuo is somewhat abstract.
"Done it!" Xiaohu was the first to express his opinion, "Isn't it just being a sandbag? I'm the best at it!"
"Then it's settled!" Tabe folded his palms in the middle, "Forget the last game! Let them see how bloody our RNG is!"
…
Soon, the second game began.
When the BPs of both sides were shown on the big screen, everyone was surprised.
RNG is on the blue side, and they banned Thresh, Diana and Ryze at the beginning, which was completely aimed at EDG's Nakano Suke.
EDG is still a regular banner.
Subsequently, RNG's selection shocked the entire audience.
一楼，秒锁永恒梦魇！
On the second and third floors, Twisted Dryad and Gale Yasuo are locked down!
"Oh my God!" Miller exclaimed, "What kind of RNG lineup is this? Top laner Big Tree, jungler Nightmare, and mid laner Yasuo? What are they going to do?!"
Baby also felt incredible: "This lineup has almost zero laning strength! But their ability to enter the mid-term is full! Nightmare turns off the lights, Big Tree bundles up, and Yasuo picks up! This is a combo flow!"
EDG was obviously caught off guard by RNG's "swing".
After a short discussion, they selected Weapon Master Jax for Su Mo to deal with the big tree.
Jungler: Eternal Nightmare (Wei)
Mid laner: Yasuo (Cryin)
Marksman: Daughter of the Void - Kai’Sa (GALA)
Support: Titan of the Deep (Ming)
Red square EDG:
Top laner: Weapon Master - Jax
Jungler: The Ruined King - Foyego
Mid laner: Dark Leader - Syndra
Marksman: Solemnity of the Waning Moon - Aphelios
Support: Heart of the Freljord - Braum
"RNG's lineup is too extreme!" Rita analyzed. "They gave up all the early rhythm and put all their treasure in the wave after level six! EDG's lineup is very solid, with all three lines having a line advantage. In this game, it depends on whether EDG can establish a big enough advantage before RNG reaches level six!"
The game has officially begun!
After entering the game, the situation on the field was as expected by the commentator.
On the road, Su Mo's Jax faced Xiaohu's big tree, and began to suppress it inhumanely from the first level.
Xiaohu didn't dare to step forward to make up for the damage. He could only stand under the tower and use his skills to barely get a few soldiers. He watched helplessly as many soldiers were missed but didn't dare to make up for it.
If someone else was playing Jax, Xiaohu wouldn't be afraid, but there's nothing he can do about it. The IG opposite is called Mo.
He did not dare to take any risks.
In the middle, Scout's Syndra also suppressed Cryin's Yasuo.
In the bottom lane, EDG's combination of Aphelios and Braum also suppressed RNG's Kai'Sa Titan under the tower.
Jiejie's Foego, on the other hand, invaded Wei's jungle area as if he were visiting his own back garden, killing groups of his wild monsters.
The entire EDG has a third-line advantage, leading in the jungle.
The situation is very good.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is also full of optimism.
【What is the lineup of RNG? Being beaten by EDG as a human machine. 】
【Xiaohu was in such a miserable condition, he was so crushed by God Mo that he couldn't even repair it with a knife. 】
【EDG is sure, the battle will be over in twenty minutes. 】
However, just when everyone thought EDG would once again stage a crushing game, RNG's team voice sounded unusually calm.
"Don't worry, let them suppress you." Wei's voice was as calm as water, "I still have a group of wild monsters that have reached level six. Bottom lane, get ready."
"OK." Ming and GALA responded in unison.
The time has come to six minutes and five seconds.
Wei's Nightmare, after finishing the last group of sharp-beaked birds, the level above his head jumped from 5 to 6!
It’s now!
"Turn off the lights!" He directly pressed R [Ghosting]!
"Ah——"
A shrill scream resounded through the canyon!
The entire Summoner's Rift was instantly plunged into darkness that made it impossible to see even one's fingertips!
The screens of all EDG team members instantly turned pitch black, their vision was cut off, and the positions of any teammates or enemies could not be seen on the minimap!
"The nightmare is on!" Miller's voice suddenly rose, "RNG's counterattack has begun!"
At the moment when the field of vision was deprived, Ming's Titan moved in the bottom lane!
Without any hesitation, he flashed forward and fired his Q skill [Clear Channel], accurately hooking Viper who was finishing up under the tower!
Wei's nightmare, like the god of death in the darkness, flew to Viper's side!
Faced with such a gank, even if Viper handed over Flash, he could not escape from the clutches and was taken away directly by Nightmare and Kai'Sa.
【First Blood!】
First blood, won by GALA's Kai'Sa!
After killing Viper, RNG did not stop and immediately began to attack the bottom defense tower.
"A perfect linkage!" Wawa exclaimed, "RNG used an incredible lineup to launch the most unreasonable attack! They sacrificed all the laning and jungle in the first six minutes just for this fatal blow! Now, GALA's Kai'Sa got the first blood, and his development instantly took the lead!"
EDG's team voice fell into a brief silence.
"My," Meiko's voice was filled with annoyance, "I didn't expect them to come so determinedly, I couldn't protect them."
"It's not your fault," Scout analyzed calmly, "It's because their tactics were designed too well. We must adjust our thinking and not give them such a chance again. Jiejie, keep me fighting, I, Syndra, have the line rights and can support me."
Su Mo, who was on the way up, saw the bad news coming down the road and was not surprised at all.
· RNG has chosen such an extreme lineup, and it would be wrong not to play some role.
RNG's perfect rhythm made the situation of the game instantly confusing.
The ups and downs of the battle have just begun.
RNG's ground-breaking success in turning off the lights and ganking was like a shot in the arm, instantly injecting into the hearts of the team and fans.
The originally suppressed voice in the team finally came to life at this moment.
"Beautiful!" Xiaohu shouted in the voice message. Although he was overwhelmed online and couldn't take care of himself, this wave of perfect team execution gave him hope of a comeback. "GALA, you are our core now, keep you in the fight!"
"Stay steady," Wei's voice is still calm, but with a hint of confidence, "I still have one hundred and twenty seconds for my ultimate move. In the next wave, we can continue to look for opportunities. It's easier to catch them if their bottom lane AD doesn't dodge." (End of Chapter)
