The entire RNG team showed amazing pressure!
"RNG is all in! They know this is their last chance!" Miller explained, "From the beginning of the line, they have been using their sharpest spears to attack EDG's defense crazily!"
On the road, Xiaohu's crocodile is like a madman, giving up the line control style. Every time the skills are cooled down, they will use a set of ruthless combos to consume the HP of Holy Spear Brother Ornn.
Although Holy Spear Brother relies on Ornn's tankiness to support himself, his health is still very suppressed.
In the middle, Cryin’s Galio implemented the support to the extreme.
He pushed the line of troops under the tower, and as soon as there was a gap, he would immediately disappear on the line, putting huge pressure on the wing.
As for the bottom lane, Gala and Ming’s Luna combination showed terrifying laning strength.
Viper's Aphelios and Meiko's Thresh were beaten until they could only huddle under the tower, and the plating of the defensive tower was eaten away layer by layer.
"Wei is here! He is going to attack the top lane!" Wawa's eyes were fixed on the top lane, "Xiaohu's crocodile has been upgraded to level six, and the army line has also advanced under the tower! Brother Holy Spear is in danger!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaohu's crocodile activated his ultimate move, and Red Fury W instantly immobilized Ornn under the tower! Wei's King of Destruction came out of the grass from behind, and followed up with a set of skills smoothly!
Although Holy Spear Brother handed over the flash, he was still killed by two people over the tower!
「First Blood!」
First blood, won by Xiaohu’s crocodile!
RNG's fan area erupted in cheers like a roaring tsunami. The emotions they had suppressed for the entire two games were completely released at this moment!
In EDG's lounge, the faces of Abu and the factory director became extremely solemn.
"Trouble," the director said solemnly, "RNG's desperate play style is to use its early rhythm to overwhelm us."
Su Mo still looked at the screen calmly and said calmly: "It's not time yet. . As long as the middle and lower lanes can maintain stable development, when Ornn and Victor are equipped, we will still be able to fight in the team battle. Now, it depends on Jiejie." However, RNG's offensive is like a storm, one wave after another.
At eight minutes, RNG's midfielder, upper and jungler teamed up and jumped over the tower again to kill Brother Holy Spear.
Ten minutes later, RNG controlled the Rift Herald and placed it directly in the bottom lane. With the combination of Luna, it forcibly pushed down EDG's bottom lane tower.
Fifteen minutes later, RNG had an economic lead of nearly 4,000 and held two dragons in hand.
The situation is already in danger for EDG.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was completely polarized at this moment.
【RNG! RNG! Never give up! Kill me! Get back all the humiliation from the first two games! ]
【Is this the LPL's civil war fantasy god? So fierce! EDG was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back! 】
【Is there something wrong with EDG's BP? Doesn't choosing such a late-stage lineup obviously give RNG a chance? ]
【Brother Mozi, I beg you, come on next! If you touch me again, we really want to go home! 】
【Don’t panic! I believe EDG, they came back from a big disadvantage in the last game! We are the champions! 】
The rhythm of the game is completely controlled by RNG.
They continue to invade in groups, squeezing EDG's development space.
However, although EDG was defeated steadily, it always protected its vital points and did not let the economic gap be further widened to the point of irreparable.
The turning point of the game occurred in the 24-minute Dragon Soul team battle.
RNG holds three small dragons. As long as they capture this water dragon, they will obtain the crucial dragon soul.
They occupied the favorable terrain of Longkeng and took the lead in fighting.
EDG had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to pick up the team.
"RNG is going to take the dragon soul! EDG must stop them!" Miller's voice was full of tension, "This is a team battle that determines the outcome of this game!"
At the moment when the RNG team was about to take down the dragon, Meiko's Thresh used an elusive Q skill from a blind spot in the field of vision to accurately hook Gala who was outputting power on the edge of the dragon pit!
「Hooked! Meiko hooked Gala!」
Wei's Ruined King immediately turned around to protect him, but Jiejie's troll blocked his position with a pillar!
Scout's Victor seized this critical opportunity and placed a W [Gravity Field] at Gala's feet, followed by an instant burst of death ray and Q skills!
Gala didn't even have time to hand over the treatment, and the health bar evaporated instantly!
The core output point of RNG was instantly killed by EDG!
"Gala was killed!! Something big happened to RNG!!" The doll roared excitedly.
Without ADC's RNG, the team battle was completely defeated.
Although Xiaohu's Crocodile rushed into the back row desperately, it was tightly entangled by Holy Spear Brother's Ornn.
Cryin's Galio ultimate move only served to divide the battlefield.
In the end, EDG fought a perfect team battle of 1 for 4 at the cost of the death of their auxiliary!
After winning the team battle, EDG took advantage of the situation and took over Baron, erasing all the early economic disadvantages!
The situation has once again undergone a shocking reversal!
The atmosphere in RNG's battle seat was frozen to freezing point.
Xiaohu leaned weakly on the back of the chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This can also be defeated, which is a bit unacceptable to everyone.
The following game completely entered the rhythm that EDG is most familiar with.
EDG, with the Baron Buff, began to show their suffocating operational capabilities.
· RNG was beaten back steadily, and the three highlands were in danger.
Thirty-two minutes, the five EDG players gathered together, and with a huge military advantage, they set foot on the high ground of RNG.
Although RNG fought tooth and nail to resist, their resistance seemed so feeble in front of EDG who had a large late-stage lineup.
EDG played steadily, breaking through one high ground first, then retreating to supply supplies, and then forwarding the other road.
Finally, at thirty-five minutes, EDG flattened RNG's three-way crystal.
With the clear and loud explosion of the main crystal, this thrilling BO5 finally came to an end.
【VICTORY】
3:0!
EDG defeated RNG with a clean score and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!
When the victory emblem lit up, the EDG players took off their headphones with relief and hugged each other in celebration.
Brother Shengqiang’s eyes were red with excitement. This BO5 was a perfect self-proof for him.
On the other side of the stage, the RNG players could no longer suppress their inner emotions.
Gala buried her face deeply in her arms, her shoulders shaking slightly.
He knew that he had to take the blame for this game.
Had it not been for the mistake of that wave of Dragon Soul Group, the ending would not have been like this.
They tried their best, but still couldn't cross this mountain.
"Let us congratulate EDG!" Miller's voice was hoarse. "They have used three victories with very different styles to prove that they are worthy of the glory of LPL's No. 1 seed! At the same time, we also want to give applause to RNG. Their spirit of never giving up also deserves the respect of all of us! Today, there is no loser!"
Handshake session.
Brother Shengqiang walked up to Xiaohu and hugged him hard.
Xiaohu smiled and whispered: "You...bring the championship back."
Brother Shengqiang nodded solemnly: "Definitely."
At this moment, all the grudges, unwillingness, and regrets disappeared.
The winner will carry the loser’s dream and continue to move forward.
This is the inheritance of LPL.
After the handshake was over, the RNG players stood up slowly, packed up their peripherals, and walked into the passage leading to the backstage without looking back, leaving all the glory and regret behind them.
The stage now belongs entirely to the winner EDG.
"Let us congratulate EDG! It has successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the 2021 League of Legends Global Finals!" The host's voice sounded excitedly, "Next, let us jointly announce the MVP player of this BO5 game!"
On the huge screen, the highlights of this game began to be played.
From Mo’s devastating Kainan Thunder in the first game, to Holy Spear’s wine barrel E-flash ultimate move that changed the world in the second game, to Meiko’s magical hook that sealed the victory in the third game... every scene aroused bursts of exclamation from the audience.
Finally, the picture is frozen!
An image of Thresh, the soul-locked warden holding a scythe and a lantern, appeared in the center of the screen!
MVP——EDG.Meiko!
"The MVP was given to EDG's captain, auxiliary player Meiko!" Miller's voice was full of praise, "Well deserved! Whether it was Tahm's perfect protection in the first game or Thresh's priceless hook in the third game, Meiko used his perfect performance to interpret what it means to be the team's anchor!"
Meiko, surrounded by her teammates, walked to the center of the stage a little shyly and received the heavy MVP trophy from the presenter.
Immediately afterwards, there is the much-anticipated post-game interview session.
The host is still the familiar beautiful host Sjokz, and apart from the MVP player Meiko, there is another person being interviewed - Su Mo.
"First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning this difficult BO5 and successfully advancing to the semi-finals!" eiko, "Meiko, as the FMVP of this game, how do you feel at this moment?"
Meiko took a deep breath with a smile on her face: "I am very excited and very happy. RNG is a very strong opponent. They have caused us huge trouble. Winning the game is the result of the joint efforts of our team. This FMVP belongs to everyone at EDG."
"In the third game of Dragon Soul Group, you were at a huge disadvantage. What made you make such a decisive decision and hook the opponent's core C position Gala?" Sjokz continued to ask.
"The situation was very urgent, and we knew it was our last chance," Meiko recalled. "I just... did my best to look for opportunities. Fortunately, I seized them. I also want to thank my teammates, whose subsequent damage and control were perfectly connected."
After briefly interviewing Meiko, Sjokz turned his attention to the young man who had a calm face from beginning to end, and the atmosphere at the scene was instantly pushed to another climax.
"Player Mo," Sjokz also had a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "We noticed that in this crucial quarterfinal match, you still did not choose to play even though your team was leading the score. Instead, you let your teammate Flandre play the last game. Audiences around the world are very curious about this. Can you share with us your thoughts at the time?"
This question is also a question on everyone's mind.
Su Mo took the microphone and said: "No special thoughts. First of all, I believe that my teammate, Brother Holy Spear, is in good condition. He has the ability to end this game, and the facts have proved this. The strength of EDG has never been dependent on just one person."
He After a pause, the topic changed: "Secondly, I also want our opponents, and the opponents we may encounter in the future, to see that EDG's tactical reserves are far more than everyone imagines. I am only one of the members of EDG, but our entire trump card is bottomless."
These words spread throughout the venue through translation, and also reached the ears of viewers around the world who were watching the live broadcast.
Domineering! confidence!
But it is irrefutable!
【Holy shit! Brother Mozi is too pretentious! But I like it so much! 】
【Translation: I don’t have to play, my teammates can beat you to pieces. 】
【Killing people and killing people! RNG would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood after hearing this. 】
Sjokz was also stunned by this answer for a moment, and then continued to ask with a smile: "So, what are your expectations for the next semi-finals? Is there any opponent you particularly want to meet?"
"There is no opponent we particularly want to meet," Su Mo shook his head, "because we have only one goal, and that is the final championship trophy. Therefore, no matter who stands in front of us, we will defeat them. For us, every opponent is the same."
At the end of the interview, Sjokz asked Su Mo to say a few words to all the fans who support EDG and LPL.
Su Mo was silent for a moment. He looked at the black gold and pure white support lights in the audience and said:
"Thank you everyone for your support. I know this game has made many LPL fans Si felt heartbroken. But please believe that we will shoulder the responsibility together. We will bring the championship back to China."
The audience burst into applause!
At the end of the interview, Chen Lie and Meiko bowed deeply to the audience again, and then, under the guidance of the staff, walked off the stage that belonged to the winner.
Going back to the lounge, I found that the lounge was full of jubilation. Although Abu and the factory director also had smiles on their faces, they quickly controlled the situation.
"Okay, okay! The celebration is over!" Abramovich clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "Don't be too happy, our journey to the World Championships is just halfway through. Go back and have a good rest and eat something good today. We have to prepare for the next opponent."
"Coach," S While sorting out the peripherals, cout asked, "Who do you think our opponent will be in the semi-finals?"
The director took over: "The next step is for DK to play MAD. Judging from the hard power and performance in the group stage, DK has a much greater chance of winning. They are the most powerful obstacle on our way to defending the title, and we must be fully prepared."
The relief on the faces of the team members faded slightly, replaced by solemnity and eagerness to try.
It is certainly gratifying to defeat the powerful RNG, but everyone knows that DK standing in front of them is a more steep peak.
…
Back to the hotel where we stayed, although it was already evening.
After everyone went to have a late-night snack, the coaching staff gathered in the factory director and Abramovich's room and began to review DK's recent game videos.
As for DK’s game, it is tomorrow. (End of chapter)
