Chapter 408 Locking in Group 1!

At 24 minutes into the game, Kennen was still pushing the line in the bottom lane.

At the same time, this time Yuan Shen did not go to the bottom lane to help keep watch, because there was no need for that.

Instead, you should focus your main energy on the front and work with your teammates to establish vision near the dragon pit.

On the SKT side, Huni reminded his teammates in the bottom lane: "The opponent's Kennen is going to the high ground, I can't stop him alone."

At this time in the bottom lane, Theshy's Kennen has pushed the line of troops in front of the highland defense tower. Continuing to advance means going to the highland. The lowland highland defense tower is very critical. If the lowland highland is lost, the big dragon will be in danger.

SKT naturally knows this, the key is how to break the deadlock?

It is easy to get into trouble if you directly cross the tower in the middle lane, as Rakan and Clockwork are too capable of counterattacking under the defensive tower, and there is also a Shen who can fly over at any time.

At this moment, Faker gave the command: "We should go straight to Baron. We can't delay any longer."

The SKT players headed straight for the Baron pit.

Seeing this, Wawa was puzzled: "SKT, what are you doing? They are heading towards the Baron pit, clearing the vision around the Baron pit. Are they going to fight? They just started fighting! But I feel that this is not appropriate. All five IG players are alive, and they have seen SKT fighting the Baron in their vision."

Miller sighed: "SKT is being pushed into a corner. They are definitely being pushed into a corner. They have no other options so they can only take risks. This is the problem that SKT cannot handle the top lane solo."

"Huni's personal ability couldn't keep up when facing Theshy, which caused him to be at a disadvantage. IG is very smart, and Yuan Shen has been using this to contain SKT, which led to the current situation."

Rita agreed:
"That's right. I can only say that SKT was completely controlled. In a collision of this intensity, it's not about which board you have the longest, but whether your shortest board can hold steady. Obviously, SKT's shortest board couldn't hold steady."

On the field, on the IG side, Yuan Shen led his teammates towards the dragon pit.

Baolan muttered, "The opponent is at a disadvantage economically, but they still dare to attack the Baron."

Rookie guessed: "They must be anxious. If they don't kill the Baron, the bottom lane high ground will be lost for nothing."

Baolan nodded: "That's true, their top laner is a bit outrageous. Gnar still can't beat Kennen, so he can only withstand the pressure."

Yuan Shen smiled: "Is there a possibility that our top laner is too strong?"

Approaching the dragon pit, Clockwork threw out a blue trinket and found the positions of the four people in the dragon pit.

Even though they were discovered, SKT had no intention of stopping.

Wawa commented: "From this perspective, SKT is planning to go all the way. If they can get the Baron, I feel they still have a chance in this game. If not, it's over."

When the dragon's health was only one-third left, Yuan Shen had already reached the dragon pit and placed a ward through the wall.

The IG members groped their way downwards, preparing to engage the team head-on.

The audience and commentators at the scene became nervous.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this team fight is likely to directly determine the direction of the game.

The dragon still has more than 4,000 health points!

Kennen directly TPs to the front dragon pit.

Wawa exclaimed: "Isn't Kennen's TP position too arrogant? He TPed directly to the faces of the four opponents. Gnar also TPed. Gnar was much more conservative. This is a Gnar with little anger!"

"Retreat!" At this moment, Faker decisively commanded his teammates to retreat.

He attacked the Baron mainly to lure Kennen over. Now his goal has been achieved and he can leave.
Miller commented: "SKT is very smart. They leave when Kennen gives them TP. This way, after Kennen's TPCD is ready, it will be difficult for Kennen to continue to lead the bottom lane, otherwise if a head-on fight breaks out, Kennen won't be able to catch up."

"Wait a minute... it's time to take over! IG chose to take over the Baron! Shen can use his E to enter the Baron pit and stop the Baron from recovering health! This wave is your turn, I'll take over, we have to fight this Baron!"

Yuan Shen attracted the Baron's attention inside the pit, and Kennen TPed to the ground. The Baron still had 3,000 health points at this time, and with the output from Clockwork outside the pit, the three of them were enough to deal with it.

So the SKT players who had originally planned to withdraw had to turn back immediately. CUZZ's Prince was ready to move and wanted to come in to fight for punishment.

Everyone's attention was on Shen, and no one noticed that Smlz's rat retreated and was pulled out of the opponent's field of vision to activate his ultimate!
Wawa got excited: "Rat, look at where Rat is. He's trying to find an angle to attack. He's walking to the side of SKT. Are you going to attack? Rat has appeared. He's using his ultimate to attack like crazy!"

The moment the rat appeared, the Prince flashed and used EQ twice, and Galio used a justice punch to close the distance and activate Duran's shield.

The rat flashed to avoid the Prince's EQ, but he couldn't avoid this ultimate move.

Miller commented: "Will Rat be killed instantly? Shen used his ultimate, and Rakan's ultimate entered the field with an explosive control effect. The opponents were too close! Clockwork used his ultimate, and Kog'Maw flashed to avoid it. However, after Shen's ultimate landed, he activated W, which prevented Rat from being killed instantly! The damage was done!"

Smlz's rat has crazy output, he doesn't even need to move, he just needs to rely on the shield and status provided by his teammates!

Soon, Shen's W effect disappeared, and the rat lost its protection and was taken down by the opponent, but all the opponents were at low health! The team battle entered the harvesting stage.

"I tried my best." Now Smlz just needs to watch his teammates reap the battlefield.

Rita praised: "In this teamfight, everyone on IG played very well, and everyone coordinated perfectly. SK was still anxious because of the gap in the top lane and they couldn't handle it alone. In the end, they could only fight for the Baron against the wind, and were completely beaten by IG."

ACE!

Soon, SKT was wiped out, and IG could easily take the Baron by turning back.

The factory manager cheered, "Nice! We've got the big dragon!"

Baolan echoed, "This one is really stable. They are still anxious. They actually killed the Baron in front of us."

Yuan Shen explained: "This is the biggest weakness of the current SKT. The individual ability of the top laner is not good. If we encounter a team with a strong top laner, the top laner can easily become a breakthrough point and restrain the performance of other lanes."

Baolan nodded: "So that's why you kept targeting the top lane."

Yuan Shen responded: "Yes, Huni was badly beaten during this military training. I guess he hates me a little bit."

After taking down the Baron, the five IG players returned to the city for supplies, and then pushed forward together in the middle lane.

Wawa commented: "Here we go. This time it's IG's turn to push forward. I feel like they can set an example for SKT. SKT couldn't push forward before, but IG definitely won't have this problem."

The soldiers came to the front of the middle lane tower. The five IG players formed a formation. Kennen walked up to attack the tower, showing his courage.

He didn’t use flash in the last wave, but he still has flash now, so he is very brave.

The opposing Jarvan and Galio came up to put pressure on them, seemingly trying to scare Kennen away, but Kennen was not at all afraid.

In fact, Theshy is hoping that the opponent will attack directly, no matter it is Jarvan or Galio, as long as they attack, they will not be able to retreat and will definitely fight to the end.

This time SKT was cowardly and did not start a team fight directly. Instead, they chose to retreat and retreat to under the second tower.

The soldiers entered the second tower, and the coordination was the same. Kennen took the lead and destroyed the tower.

Wawa commented: "It's a good plan to use the defense towers to consume the world in the dragon pit, but the defense towers fall too fast, which SKT cannot accept. Do you want to start a team fight? Take the initiative to start a team fight?" On the SKT side, CUZZ's palms were sweating and he was under a lot of pressure. What should he do now?
Normally at this time, it would definitely be Faker who stepped forward to calm the troops and set the pace.

But now, Faker is silent and seems undecided.

"Let's go and defend the high ground." The second tower in the middle lane was also defended, so we could only go back to find the high ground.

On IG's side, Baolan complained: "Why are SKT so cowardly? I thought they should dare to start a team fight directly."

Rookie analyzed: "Their Prince Galio's damage is not enough to kill people instantly, and he can only play a control effect, but the back row's damage may not be able to keep up, so it is difficult to start a team fight."

After the soldiers entered the high ground defense tower, the IG players still had no intention of leaving and went straight up to attack the tower.

Faker knew he had to make a choice and could not give up the high ground.

"Jungler, find an angle to start a team fight. I'll follow you." Faker commanded.

So CUZZ's Prince moved forward and approached Kennen, but Kennen was still in the A tower and didn't take him seriously at all.

Instead, the mouse disappeared!
"The mouse is gone!" Bang reminded.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

However, CUZZ's EQ combo had already been launched, Kennen accelerated to dodge, and the Prince used his ultimate to cover Kennen!

Wawa commented: "SKT players took the initiative, and Prince used his ultimate to keep Kennen. This is indeed a solution. As long as Kennen can't flash to the back row, SKT's back row still has room for output."

"Hi! Hello!" Suddenly, the mouse appeared!
The rat did not appear behind Kennen, which is the front, but appeared on the side of the opposite high ground. At the same time, Yuan Shen's Shen E flashed over the wall and controlled the opposite Kog'Maw!
"Ahahahaha!" The rat used his ultimate skill and fired crazily!
"We've been fooled!" The SKT players realized that they had been fooled. This Kennen was just a cover!
Miller passionately explained: "Galio's ultimate hero appearance was used on Twitch, Luo flashed by, danced lightly in pairs, and made a grand appearance. Kog'Maw was controlled continuously. Although he was protected by Lulu's ultimate shield, he still died!"

"Konmpo is down! SKT's most important output point is down. Who can kill this Shen now?"

The team battle entered IG's hunting phase.

Huni also chose to rush forward and use his ultimate, wanting to kill Kennen together with Jarvan IV. However, when Kennen activated his ultimate, both of them were controlled and beaten to low health, and finally Clockwork took the kill.

"One wave! One wave! Attack the tower!" Yuan Shen commanded. Now there was only one support Lulu left on the opposite side.
The IG team worked together to take the middle lane high ground, then the front tower, and finally the base crystal.

Rita announced: "With the explosion of the crystal in SKT's base, let us congratulate IG for winning this game! Now they have secured first place in the group. I hope IG can maintain their performance in the subsequent knockout rounds!"

The audience cheered in unison:

"IG! IG! IG!"

After the game, Yuan Shen took off his headphones and stood up. Theshy and Yuan Shen applauded: "Happy cooperation."

"Well, just keep winning like this."

Yuan Shen brought everyone from IG to SKT to shake hands.

First up is Huni, the top laner. Just like in the opening game, Huni’s face is now red.

The difference is that last time he was quite excited, as if he was planning to challenge Theshy again.

But this time, Huni was really autistic and he couldn't even raise his head in front of everyone on IG.

The next one was the jungler CUZZ. When he saw Yuan Shen, he hesitated for three seconds, but still said, "Great."

Yuan Shen replied: "It's OK. I played normally. It's mainly because of my teammates' efforts."

Next one, mid laner Faker.

Still that polite look.

Finally, there is the duo Bang and Wolf.

This time Wolf couldn't be so fierce, probably because the child was still feeling bad.

After shaking hands with the SKT players, the IG players came to the center of the stage, bowed towards the audience, and prepared to leave.

Yuan Shen was about to leave when the host Luo Xin suddenly walked over and said, "Master Yuan, please stay."

Yuan Shen stopped walking, and Luo Xin came over and greeted him, "Master Yuan, can I interview you and ask you a few questions?"

Yuan Shen responded: "Of course no problem."

"Come here." Luo Xin took Yuan Shen to sit in the interview seat next to them.

After a short wait, the interview began.

Luo Xin said, "Congratulations to IG again for defeating SKT, completing their sixth consecutive win in the group stage and qualifying as the first in the group! We have invited IG's starting jungler, Yuan Shen, to accept our interview."

"God Yuan, please say hello to everyone."

Yuan Shen took the microphone and said:
"Hi everybody, I'm……"

The audience started to boo:

"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

He didn't even need to introduce himself, the audience did it for him.

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan is so popular. It seems that we can cancel the environment of self-acceptance in the future. Now I will start asking questions."

"First question, at this stage of the S series, the strengths of the sixteen teams in the group stage have all been demonstrated. Do you think SSG is the strongest team?"

Yuan Shen replied: "Of course, and as the game progresses, I have more confidence in my judgment."

Luo Xin was surprised: "This is really surprising. The second question is, now IG has been confirmed as the first in the group and entered the quarterfinals, so who do you hope to meet in the quarterfinals? Is it a team from LCK, LPL, or other regions?"

Yuan Shen responded: "Although who I hope to meet will not affect the result, I still hope to meet a team like Longzhu and SSG. Only in this way can I have enough fun."

As soon as these words came out, the barrage in the official live broadcast room exploded:
"Fuck, so domineering!"

"So cool! Such a domineering statement!"

"I'm fighting the elite!"

"I don't even want to fight the average team, I'll just fight the strongest one!"

Luo Xin continued: "You are really domineering Yuan Shen. The third question is, in the group stage, Ning Wang played four times, and you only played twice. In the subsequent knockout stage, will Ning Wang play again? Or will you always play?" (End of this chapter)
