Chapter 390: Mid and Jungle R Flash Cooperation Stuns Everyone
The situation became a bit complicated, but Zz1tai's Rek'Sai still chose to use his ultimate and kill Kog'Maw first.
Thresh was holding the tower until his health was low, and Rek'Sai was still under the defensive tower and had also lost a lot of health.
Varus outside the defensive tower was in an awkward position.
Bard opened a door in the side river and brought Lee Sin and Rambo over.
Varus used his E to slow down his opponent and tried to run away, but Bard flashed and used a basic attack to slow him down, and Varus couldn't move.
Yuan Shen's Lee Sin's W skill was used to get close to Bardra, and Varus moved around frantically, but if Yuan Shen didn't take action, his movement would be meaningless, and would instead allow Yuan Shen to get closer faster.
While Rumble went to the other side to chase the low-health Thresh. In the end, neither Thresh nor Varus escaped. Instead, Zzitai led the team to the lower jungle area and escaped.
Miller commented: "The mid lane exchange was a one-for-two, and IG still won. I found that the hero Kog'Maw was a bait in IG's lineup, and this bait was quite successful."
Wawa agreed, "That's right. According to our previous understanding of the game, Kog'Maw must be paired with a four-protect-one or three-protect-two lineup. No matter what, Kog'Maw must be protected, but this is not the case in this game."
"This may be a new idea that IG came up with. All three of our lanes are core, and one of them can be used as bait to ensure the development of other lanes."
After the chase is completed, IG can still push the middle lane tower.
On the EDG side, Zzai felt bad. They tried so hard to push the middle lane tower, but after all the effort, they lost the middle lane tower first.
The game continued, and when it came to seventeen minutes, Yuan Shen wanted to take the little dragon and continue to find the rhythm.
Now EDG begins to retreat, probably because they feel they are at a big disadvantage and want to drag the game out.
In the bottom lane, Rookie was putting pressure on the second tower, and Yuan Shen came over to help cover.
Scout's Corki was quite careful, he just used his skills to push the line, ignoring everything else and not giving the enemy any chance.
Suddenly, Factory Manager's Rek'Sai appeared near the middle lane, and Yuan Shen wanted to take action: "We can kill this Corki."
Rookie pushed forward and the ball got closer and closer to the plane under the tower.
Scout pulled back and could no longer touch the minions, so he watched Clockwork push the tower.
"This kid is quite careful." Seeing that there was no chance, Yuan Shen asked Clockwork to push the tower.
On the front, the middle lane defense tower is under pressure.
However, Theshy had already passed by and used his ultimate to clear the minion line, causing EDG to lose the opportunity to push the tower.
So EDG gave away the second tower in the bottom lane for nothing and got nothing from the front.
Wawa commented: "IG's three lines have good coordination. Not only are their individual abilities strong, but they can also work together and know what they should do and when."
Miller agreed: "Yes, as the season progresses, they have gone from relying purely on individual ability at the beginning to working together as a team. In fact, in just a few months, their progress has been very fast."
Twenty minutes into the game, Yuan Shen called on his teammates to push the middle lane. As long as they took down EDG's middle lane tower, the rest would be easy.
Five people gathered, and EDG also had five people.
They also knew that the middle lane tower was very important and their defensive attitude was very resolute.
Wawa commented: "It's crucial. If they can hold the middle lane tower, they can at least delay the game. But if they can't even hold the middle lane tower, EDG will be far behind."
A wave of soldiers entered the defensive tower, Corki and Varus frantically blocked their skills, while Thresh, Rek'Sai, and Maokai provided cover on the side.
Rookie's Clockwork threw out a QW to consume the enemy's energy. There was nothing the Treant could do but to take it. If the front row couldn't hold on at this time, the back row would have no space to clear the minion line.
"It feels like it's not easy to push." Smlz felt the difficulty. As long as he got close to the defensive tower, the opposing Thresh would start to get ready to use his hook. It was quite dangerous to be hit by Thresh's hook in this position.
Yuan Shen commanded: "When the next wave of soldiers comes, use Rambo's ultimate to block the road and drive away their back row. We will push forward directly. If they still want to defend, we will engage the team depending on the situation."
So everyone in IG did his job, and after the next wave of soldiers entered the tower, Rambo decisively used his ultimate move!
This ultimate skill forced Corki and Varus to retreat, and Varus took advantage of this opportunity to go forward and attack the tower.
Miller commented: "IG wanted to forcefully push the middle lane, Thresh used his hook and Kog'Maw dodged it, but there was still Varus's ultimate, which hit at the maximum distance, and Maokai also used his ultimate. It seemed like EDG was planning to join the team fight!"
Wawa continued, "IG is still tearing down the tower now. They are planning to tear it down forcefully! Will Zweizhang go up? I feel like there is a chance to kill Kog'Maw instantly. If I don't choose, Zweizhang won't go up. Bard still has his ultimate. I feel like he may not be able to kill him instantly."
"Then IG's mid lane tower is gone. It was already too late when the double Cs came up. Is this how IG destroys the tower? It feels so risky!"
Rita agreed: "It is indeed quite risky. If EDG was not a more aggressive team, I think they would have just started fighting. Now that IG has taken the opponent's mid lane tower, the subsequent rhythm is easy. They can control the vision and set up ambushes."
Twenty-three minutes into the game, IG controlled the vision near the Baron pit and started attacking the Baron directly.
EDG reacted quickly, huddled together immediately, threw a blue trinket eye into the Baron pit, and discovered that IG was really attacking the Baron, so they sped over.
Miller commented: "Here we go, Baron team fight. Rambo is well developed now, with two and a half items. With this kind of equipment, one ultimate of Rambo can potentially destroy everything. EDG may not be able to withstand it."
Wawa agreed, "Right... Wait, isn't Lee Sin going to fight anymore? Lee Sin seems to be circling around. Is he looking for an opportunity to enter the game? He should be planning to bring someone back, Varus or Corki. Just pick one. As long as he can kill a C position first, the teamfight will be easier."
The EDG players approached the Baron pit, which still had more than 4,000 HP.
Meiko placed a ward through the wall, exposing the position of all IG members.
Suddenly, the factory manager discovered something: "The Lee Sin is not here, and the Lee Sin on the opposite side is not here, he must have gone around!"
The situation is urgent, the Baron is about to be lost, they have to go over, but they don't know the position of Lee Sin. With so many angles around them, who knows where Lee Sin will appear from.
"Give us vision here, our jungle!" The factory manager seemed to have thought of something and asked his teammates to place wards on the left and the wall, which was the direction of their own jungle.
Sure enough, as soon as the vision was released, Lee Sin appeared!
But Rambo's ultimate move had already landed in the middle of EDG's five players, launching an explosive AOE while also splitting EDG's formation!
Wawa commented: "IG chose to force the opening, and the position of Rambo's ultimate was perfect. Clockwork and Kog'Maw went forward to deal damage. Bard used his ultimate and went to find the back row. Varus was about to be controlled, so he used his flash!"
"Should Varus and Corki go up to deal damage? Lee Sin is approaching from the side, and the two seem a little scared. How should we fight? They don't dare to go up to deal damage."
At this time, Scout on EDG's side reminded his teammates: "Blind Monk! Blind Monk!"
He wanted his teammates to restrict Lee Sin, but his teammates really didn't have time, as they were all in the front. He and Varus were two small squishy creatures, and facing such a developed Lee Sin, they would be killed instantly.
Yuan Shen's Lee Sin pulled back and forth, and as long as the opponent's double C wanted to go up and output, he would choose to get closer.
In this way, Corki and Varus could only use their skills and did not dare to go up at all.
Rita commented: "EDG's double Cs were watched by Lee Sin alone. They didn't dare to go up to deal damage. That was the end of them. The three front-line teammates were very resistant to damage, but there was a limit!"
Then an outrageous scene occurred. Because the two Cs were afraid to output, EDG could not win the team battle in a situation of five against four! Zero for three! All three front-line players were lost!
Miller exclaimed: "Is this the deterrent power? After Lee Sin blocked the position on the side, although he did not perform any operations and did not use any skills, the opponent's double C was controlled by him and did not dare to go up to output."
Wawa muttered, "I feel like it wouldn't be like this no matter which ID I change. The main reason is that this Lee Sin's ID is too scary. It scared the opposing duo. In this case, the Baron will definitely belong to IG. Without a jungler, only the duo is left. EDG is unable to defend."
In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"This is EDG! I have never seen a team more cowardly than EDG."
"They are all gods. They can watch others slaughter the front row."
"I can fight this wave if I go up, at least I dare to output."
"You're still watching when your teammates are gone? You're just pretending."
Scout and Zet were indeed in a difficult situation. They wanted to give up the dragon, but they could only use some skills.
In the end, Yuan Shen took down the big dragon steadily.
On IG's side, Baolan asked in surprise, "What was EDG doing just now? Did we win the teamfight too easily? We didn't feel the presence of their double Cart."
Rookie explained: "The two Carries were controlled by Lee Sin and dared not come up to deal damage, so they certainly could not feel their presence."
Smlz said: "I have encountered this situation before. If there is a person on the opposite side who can kill you in one second, and your teammates cannot help you, then you can't output damage. If you go up to output damage, you will die."
After the five IG players went out, they gathered together and pushed the middle lane line to the front of the second tower.
EDG just made a symbolic defense, gave up the second tower, and retreated directly to the high ground.
Wawa commented: "EDG is not easy to defend, IG is coming aggressively. The good news is that now both Cs have their summoner skills. As long as they are not kicked back by Lee Sin and their output is not low, they can rely on the high ground defense tower to fight back, and there is still a chance."
Yuan Shen's Lee Sin is looking for an opportunity on the side. The opponent's Thresh comes to assist and stands here. If his Sonic Wave hits the target, the Echo will fly over. During the flight, it must pass over Thresh. Thresh can use the E skill to interrupt his Echo.
Now Thresh does nothing else but stare at Yuan Shen's Lee Sin.
Yuan Shen understood it at a glance. If that was the case, he needed to think of another way.
"Give me the ball, let's cooperate." Yuan Shen suddenly said.
Rookie's Clockwork gave the ball to Yuan Shen, and Yuan Shen cast a Sky Sound to the opposite Thresh.
Thresh stood still, even though Yuan Shen flew over.
Suddenly, Yuan Shen touched his eyes and kicked him...
"Ichiku!" Thresh flew towards the other EDG members like a cannonball.
Miller passionately explained: "Here it comes! Lee Sin attacks. Is he planning to use Thresh to hit Corki and Varus? But these two were very focused on moving and dodging. Lee Sin followed with an Echo Slam? What is he trying to do?"
Lee Sin flew towards Thresh, Clockwork used his ultimate, and Lee Sin used flash to adjust his position.
Clockwork's ultimate hits Corki and Varus at the same time, and Rek'Sai's ultimate causes explosive damage!
Rita cheered, "Blind Monk and Clockwork completed an R-Mount cooperation, but this was an R-flash for two people! Clockwork was responsible for R, and Lee Sin was responsible for flash. Rumble threw down his ultimate, Corki and Varus flashed to avoid it, and Varus controlled Lee Sin with his ultimate and focused his fire!"
On the EDG side, although their health is low, Varus and Corki are still working hard to output!
"Lilley Monk! Lee Monk!" Everyone in EDG threw all their skills at Lee Monk, as if they could win the team battle as long as they could kill Lee Monk in one second, but Bard's ultimate came down from the sky, and Yuan Shen's Lee Monk turned golden and could not be selected!
At the same time, all IG members rushed up together. Rambo used W to accelerate forward, flashed red, showed warmth, and used Q to launch an explosive AOE!
Under Bard's acceleration, Kog'Maw flashed forward like a mad dog and dealt crazy damage.
Wawa commented: "It's crazy! IG went completely crazy this time. They all flashed up to deal damage and EDG was unable to resist. The low-health Varus and Corki died first. The rest of them had no damage and could only be slaughtered!"
"The cooperation between Lee Sin and Clockwork killed the game! I have to say that the cooperation between IG's mid and jungle is rare in the history of the league."
The team battle is over and IG won a great victory. After winning the team battle, all that remains is to push the tower.
Yuan Shen commanded: "One wave, one wave, just one wave."
So the IG team ended the game with one wave of soldiers.
Rita announced: "With the explosion of the crystal in EDG's base, let us congratulate IG for winning the first game of the BO5. It is very important. After winning the first game, IG will have a psychological advantage."
"At the same time, I hope EDG can adjust well and bring us more exciting games."
The game was over and everyone on IG stood up to celebrate.
Smlz said: "I was just playing a supporting role in this game. I didn't even have the space to show my big mouth."
Yuan Shen replied: "That's normal. We can be C in all three lanes, so one lane must be taken care of by the opponent. Although you are being targeted, your teammates will feel comfortable after attracting firepower."
Baolan said: "I picked Bard this time, so the bottom lane must be difficult, which is normal."
Entering the team channel, the IG team met the EDG team. At this time, the five starting players of EDG looked very serious and unsmiling, and it seemed that they had not yet recovered from the loss of the game.
Back in the lounge, Fu Manduo came up to us and said, "Everyone has worked hard. We are ahead by a lot in the laning phase this time. Keep it up, especially in the top lane. Theshy, your idea in the first wave was really bold. You almost killed two people. At first I was wondering why you didn't leave when you saw the jungler on the other side. It turns out you were planning to fight two people at once."
Theshy explained: "The opponent's top laner is not in good condition, and the opponent's jungler wants to gank, which gives me a chance."
Fu Manduo nodded: "Well, in short, everyone has done a great job. There are still some details that need attention. Let's review it first."
So everyone in IG gathered in front of the computer and started reviewing the game.
