EBE Chapter 997: Critical Game
Chapter 997: Critical Game
The cheers were so loud that they almost blew off the roof of the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center! The shouts of "Mo Shen!" and "Timo!" were deafening! The audience's enthusiasm was completely ignited by this unexpected and wonderful Timo show!
In the RNG lounge, the players had relaxed smiles on their faces, but their eyes were not slack at all. Although Coach Heart was worried about Xu Mo's move to use Teemo, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw such a perfect result.
"Xu Mo, you always come up with something new for me!" Coach Heart said half-jokingly, but his tone was full of praise. "However, in the next game, WE will definitely target you more crazily, and may even come up with some unconventional tactics to fight for our lives. We must be fully prepared."
Uzi grinned, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Brother Mozi's Teemo has directly broken WE's mentality! I think their faces will turn green in the next BP!"
Karsa was also rubbing his hands in anticipation: "That's the feeling we want! Let them not guess what we are going to do! In the next game, we will continue to put pressure on them in the jungle!"
Xiaohu and Ming also agreed, and the team's morale was unprecedentedly high. Xu Mo calmly analyzed: "WE is very resilient, they will not give up easily. In the next game, 957 and Xiye may take on more teamfighting and carrying responsibilities, and we need to focus on guarding against them."
On the other hand, WE's lounge was shrouded in a depressed and depressing atmosphere. The two consecutive losses, especially the second game being fooled by a Teemo who had almost never been seen on the field, were undoubtedly a huge blow to their morale.
Coach Hongmi's face was livid, but he forced himself to calm down: "Losing two games is not the end of the world! We are not eliminated yet! Now, we need to forget everything that just happened and focus all our attention on the next game! We must show our courage and fight to the death and show our WE spirit!"
957 clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. As an experienced veteran, he rarely felt such a strong sense of defeat. That little Teemo was like a leech, restricting his movements throughout the game and making him feel extremely frustrated.
Xiye took a deep breath, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "Coach, I will carry the next game! Give me a hero who can carry!"
Beishang also gritted his teeth. In the first two games, he was miserable because of the cooperation between Karsa and Xu Mo, and he was holding back anger.
Mystic and Missing were also cheering each other on, because they knew that if they lost one more game, their summer season journey would come to an end.
In the commentary booth, the three commentators were still immersed in the shock brought by Teemo in the previous game.
Guan Zeyuan's voice was still full of excitement: "Unbelievable! Really unbelievable! Mo Shen used Teemo to not only win the game, but also create another classic moment in LPL history! This BO5 is full of infinite possibilities because of Mo Shen's existence!"
Miller also lamented: "WE's mentality must have been greatly affected. Not only do they have to face RNG's strong overall strength, but they also have to be wary of Mo Shen's endless hero pool and tactical routines. This is a huge test for any team."
Jide is full of expectations for the next game: "2:0 lead! RNG already has three match points! Can they make a strong push and sweep WE to advance to the finals? Or can WE fight back and stage a stunning reversal? Let's wait and see this crucial third game!"
After a short break, the players from both teams returned to the court. The RNG players looked relaxed and walked briskly, while the WE players looked solemn, with a hint of sadness and determination in their eyes.
RNG came to the blue side again, and WE was on the red side.
Guan Zeyuan: "Okay, welcome back to the LPL Summer Playoffs semi-finals! Now it's the third game between RNG and WE, and it's also RNG's match point! WE has no way out, they must win this game to keep their hopes of advancing!"
RNG Ban: Olaf, Galio, Gangplank
"RNG's bans are still very targeted! They banned Olaf and Gangplank, who performed relatively well in the last game against WE, as well as Galio, a support hero that Xiye might choose."
WE Ban: Teemo, Jayce, Kennen
"Hahaha! WE really put Teemo on the ban list! It seems that they have been psychologically traumatized by Mo Shen's Teemo! At the same time, Jayce and Kennen, two of Mo Shen's signature heroes, are still on the ban list!" Miller couldn't help laughing when he saw WE's ban.
The audience also burst into good-natured laughter, apparently expressing their "understanding" for WE's decision to ban Teemo.
"Camille! When Mo Shen's three main heroes were banned, RNG grabbed Camille! Are they going to give Mo Shen a hero with extremely strong entry ability and unstoppable solo laning ability?!" Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose!
"WE still chose the Xayah and Rakan combination! It seems that they are very confident in the proficiency and strength of this combination. I hope they can open up the situation in the bottom lane!"
"It's Lee Sin and Braum again! The classic combination of Karsa and Ming. It seems that RNG is very confident in the synergy of this jungler-support system!"
WE Pick 3: Prince!
"WE chose Jarvan IV as their jungler! Jarvan IV! Beishang's Jarvan is very strong in both teamfighting and early ganking abilities. Combined with Xayah and Rakan's control, RNG's bottom lane will be under great pressure!"
Second round of selection:
WE Ban: Akali, Irelia
Remember: "WE is determined not to let Mo Shen get any of the carry-type top laners he is good at! Five ban positions, almost all of them were given to the top lane!"
"Xiye locked Syndra! With Leblanc and Ryze banned, Syndra is a strong choice for both laning suppression and single-point burst!"
RNG: Ezreal, Sylas!
"Uzi chose Ezreal! A very flexible ADC who can handle Jarvan's ganks very well. In the last pick, Xiaohu locked in Sylas! Stealing him! This choice is very interesting. Facing WE's heroes with powerful ultimates like Jarvan, Rakan, and Syndra, Sylas has a lot of room to play!"
WE: Gnar!
"WE chose Gnar as the last pick! 957's Gnar! This is a hero that is relatively stable in laning phase and has both damage output and control in teamfights. The small Gnar form can kite Camille, and the big Gnar form is also very critical in starting a teamfight!"
The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
RNG (Blue):
Top lane: Camille (Xu Mo)
Jungler: Lee Sin (Karsa)
Mid: Sylas (Xiaohu)
ADC: Ezreal (Uzi)
Support: Braum (Ming)
WE (Red):
Top lane: Gnar (957)
Jungler: Beishang
Mid: Syndra (Xiye)
ADC: Mystic
Support: Rakan (Missing)
Miller: "Looking at the lineups of both teams, RNG has a very strong offensive lineup in the early and mid-game! Camille and Lee Sin's jungle synergy, Sylas's variability, and EZ and Braum's stable bottom lane. WE, on the other hand, has a lineup that is more inclined to teamfighting. Gnar, Jarvan, and Rakan all have strong teamfighting abilities, and Xayah and Syndra's late-game output is also very impressive!"
Guan Zeyuan: "The key point of this game is whether RNG can use the strength of Camille and Lee Sin to create a rhythm in the early stage and suppress WE's development. WE needs to stabilize its position, drag the game into the teamfight period where they are good at, and use Gnar and Jarvan's teamfights to find opportunities!"
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense! RNG fans shouted "3:0", looking forward to a hearty sweep! WE fans cheered for their home team with all their strength, looking forward to a miracle!
The third game, the decisive battle begins!
"Army attack!"
Accompanied by familiar commands, this life-and-death battle officially begins!
Xu Mo's Camille chose Doran's Blade as her starting item and learned the Q skill "Precision Etiquette" at level 957. He played very actively against 's Gnar. Camille's Q skill has two stages of damage and acceleration effects, and combined with the shield of the passive "Adaptive Defense", her ability to exchange blood is extremely strong.
957's Gnar was very careful, learning the Q skill "Throw Boomerang" at level , using the advantage of long arms to make up for losses. He was well aware of Camille's burst damage and rushing ability, and always kept a safe distance to avoid being approached by Camille's E skill "Hookshot".
"Mo Shen's Camille played so aggressively! She started to suppress Gnar at level 957, using the acceleration and shield of the Q skill to constantly exchange blood. 's Gnar was in a bit of trouble!" Guan Zeyuan looked at the line on the screen.
Xu Mo controlled Camille like an elegant swordsman, and every attack was accurate and deadly. He constantly used the minions as springboards, looking for opportunities to consume Gnar. He firmly controlled the line of soldiers near his own tower, creating huge pressure on 957's Gnar.
Karsa's Lee Sin chose the red buff to start the game, and then directly invaded WE's blue buff jungle area! He knew that Beishang's Prince would most likely start at the blue buff, and wanted to create trouble for the opponent in the early stage.
Beishang's Prince was indeed fighting for the blue buff, and when he saw Lee Sin invading, his heart tightened! But he did not choose to give in, but called for support from Xiye's Syndra in the middle lane, ready to fight Lee Sin head-on!
"Karsa is invading at level one! Is Beishang's Prince going to take the fight? Xiye's Syndra is coming too!" Miller's voice was a little excited.
The two junglers fought fiercely in WE's blue zone. Karsa's Lee Sin's operation was more delicate. He used the accurate hits of his Q skill and the passive attack speed bonus to continuously consume the health of the prince. Xiaohu's Sylas also arrived in time, and used his W skill "King's Thrust" to absorb the health of the prince, while giving Karsa's Lee Sin a shield!
Although Xiye's Syndra also rushed to the battlefield, she was a step slower. In the end, Karsa's Lee Sin cooperated with Sylas's damage and successfully killed Beishang's Prince and took the blue buff!
"First Blood! RNG got the first blood again! Karsa's invasion was so decisive! Xiaohu's support was also very timely!" Remember to shout loudly.
"It's a complete collapse! Beishang's Prince was killed by the counter-jungle at the beginning and also lost the blue buff. The rhythm just exploded!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.
After helping Karsa get the first blood, Xiaohu's Sylas returned to the line and played more confidently against Xiye's Syndra. Sylas's E skill "Stalking/Abducting" can well avoid Syndra's QE combo, and the recovery of his W skill also allows him to not fall behind in the blood exchange. More importantly, he always pays attention to Syndra's ultimate skill "Energy Drain", ready to "borrow" it at the critical moment.
Xiye's Syndra seemed a little impatient. The jungler was killed at the beginning of the game, which made him feel a huge pressure. He was eager to gain an advantage in the lane, but facing the flexible Sylas, it was difficult to find an opportunity.
Bottom lane: Ezreal, Braum vs. Xayah, Rakan
Uzi's Ezreal and Ming's Braum continued to develop steadily against Mystic's Xayah and Missing's Rakan. Since the jungler Jarvan had a bad start, WE's bottom lane didn't dare to play too aggressively, fearing that they would be ganked by Karsa's Lee Sin. Uzi, with his precise Q skills, continued to consume Xayah and Rakan's health, and gradually took the initiative in the lane.
"RNG had advantages in three lanes at the start! Especially in the top and jungle, Mo Shen's Camille suppressed Gnar, and Karsa's Lee Sin directly defeated Beishang's Jarvan! RNG's start in this game was perfect!" Miller concluded.
The game time reached 6 minutes. After Karsa's Lee Sin controlled the first river crab, he went directly to the top lane!
Xu Mo's Camille had already understood what he meant. After pushing the line of troops into the tower, he started with the E skill "Hookshot", accurately hooking the wall. Then, he used the second stage of E "Wall Return" to fly towards 957's Gnar, and at the same time activated the ultimate skill "Hextech Ultimatum"!
"Mo Shen has taken action! Camille's ultimate has trapped Gnar! Karsa's Lee Sin has also flanked him from behind!" Guan Zeyuan spoke quickly.
957's Gnar was trapped by Camille's ultimate, with nowhere to escape! Karsa's Lee Sin used his W to get close to the enemy, and his Q skill, Soundwave, hit accurately. Combined with Camille's burst damage, Gnar's health dropped to the bottom in an instant!
"Gnar was killed instantly! RNG's top and jungle teamwork succeeded again! 957 had a hard time!"
After killing Gnar, RNG's top and jungle took advantage of the situation to push down WE's top lane tower.
"The pace is taking off! RNG's snowball is getting bigger and bigger! WE must now find a way to stop RNG's offensive, otherwise the game will be over soon!" There was a hint of worry in Jide's tone.
While RNG was enjoying the huge advantage in the early game, WE did not give up the resistance. They knew that if they continued to be passive, they would only face a slow death. Coach Hongmi decisively issued a desperate order through the headset in the background!
The game time reached 9 minutes, and the second dragon (Wind Dragon) was about to spawn. Karsa's Lee Sin and Ming's Braum were setting up vision near the dragon pit, while Uzi's Ezreal was pushing the line in the middle lane with Xiaohu's Sylas, ready to support at any time. Xu Mo's Camille was solo pushing in the top lane, putting pressure on WE's second tower.
At this moment, Beishang's Prince made an unexpected move! He did not choose to fight for the little dragon, but went directly behind the RNG bottom lane tower, and cooperated with Mystic's Xia and Missing's Luo who had just reached level 6, and launched a surprise attack on Uzi who was leading the line!
"WE is about to take action! Jarvan has gone around the back! Xayah and Rakan are also coming over! Their target is Uzi's Ezreal!" Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose, full of tension!
Although Uzi's Ezreal was aware of the danger and immediately used his E skill "Arcane Shift" to create distance, Missing's Luo reacted extremely quickly, and with a precise flash W "grand entrance", he directly lifted up Ezreal who had just landed!
"Luo flashed and used W to lift EZ! Mystic's Xia also caught up with the output, and the E skill 'Hook' was maxed out, and the Prince's EQ 2 connected to control!" Miller explained at a fast speed. (End of this chapter)
