Chapter 166: First Win!

Perkz ultimately couldn't escape disaster, but before dying, his three fox fires followed by a basic attack also burned to death the troll trying to flee.

Even in a three-on-one rotation, they still got two players swapped out, and the CLG team looked ashen.

Although Perkz had a big kill, this version's takedown reward goes to the team bounty, which totals nearly a thousand dollars, but splitting it evenly shows much lower profit; aside from the card player getting four hundred, the others' bounty equals each having an extra true eye.

Moreover, CLG also lost a turret.

Even purely calculating economic gain, CLG lost heavily this wave.

After taking down the top turret, G2's four players even casually took Xia Gu Xian Feng.

Time approached fifteen minutes, and the economic gap between the sides opened to over five thousand.

"With this fifteen‑minute economic gap, although CLG's composition will get stronger later, I feel there's hardly any hope for a comeback; personally I'd say it's 8‑2."

"Um, I think it should be 9‑1."

"The extra layer is for Ryze. Ezreal is completely ruined, and the card is also terrible; only Ryze's development isn't too bad, the time staff is already done, the stacks of Tear of the Goddess are okay, we can look forward to his teamfight, and the reworked Ryze's AOE is still quite fearsome."

"But I feel G2 won't teamfight by charging straight into CLG's face; they'll surely play around the mid‑bottom dual carries, and in that situation Ryze won't have such good output."

"Well, we need to wait for the card to finish the cannon; then CLG can try to use the card's yellow card to lock onto a target and combine with Ezreal and Ryze for long‑range snipe."

"Cannon? The card usually doesn't build that."

"I've seen it in ranked."

"That must be very late game; they'd have to go thirty or even forty minutes, and CLG probably couldn't drag it out that long."

"Anyway, it's still a hope; giving them a twenty percent chance to comeback isn't excessive."

"If remembered, the words quickly turned into a jinx."

"Next, G2 repeatedly focused on Ryze's lane; Pantheon didn't even lane against him, following the jungler and support all over the map, and whoever was more convenient took the empty lane, effectively turning Pantheon into a support."

"But the effect was also obvious."

"Although CLG had the card, Rek'Sai, and Ryze—three long‑range support champions—their development was terrible and their strength weak; every time they engaged, it almost turned into a soul‑car."

"As time passed, the economic gap between the sides widened further."

"When the clock hit twenty minutes, G2's economic advantage had expanded to over eight thousand, not far from nine thousand."

"The most frightening part is that G2's actual lead is not just over eight thousand."

"First, Perkz's Hu li had a full three‑item set in hand, plus an extra Dark Seal stacked ten layers, i. e., Mejais Soulstealer."

"A 350‑gold item giving 45 ability power—its cost‑performance is maxed out."

"The same ring is also on Spider and Bard's hands."

"Three ten‑layer Mejais, converted to stat value—how much gold is that?"

"No one bothered to calculate it exactly, but in practice it means Bard alone can chase down Rek'Sai."

"The result was that CLG couldn't get any vision out at all."

"Except for the red base high ground, almost the whole map became G2's territory."

"When G2's team finally left, the CLG team slowly placed wards like playing a horror game, but what they picked up was an empty Ye Qu and the bases of two destroyed second turrets."

"The commentators had much less to say, and what they did say was halting and weak, with none of the opening excitement."

"CLG's internal channel was also silent."

"When the game reached this point, they had no ideas left, just instinctively grouping to push mid; seeing a lone Hu li appear ahead, the card flashed in and engaged, but Perkz had a warning when he switched cards, and as the card flashed he directly used Soul Assault and Rocket Belt to pull them apart toward the river."

"Ryze immediately flashed, wanting to bring the team to chase, but a golden circle appeared under his feet, exactly overlapping his flash area."

"At the same time, a larger red circle appeared, enclosing both small circles."

"The CLG team immediately scattered like birds and beasts."

"With a thud, Ryze and the troll were still hit by the golden light."

"Next, G2's three jungle players surged out of the mist with wind at their feet, and in the river the Hu li also did a double‑turn dash straight at the card's face."

"Pantheon landed just as Bard's ultimate control ended, smashing the two inside the circle into dizziness."

"CLG collapsed instantly; everyone fled, and only Rek'Sai and Ezreal escaped, while the other three were chased down and killed."

"Afterward, G2 gathered to take Baron."

"Remember shouting in the LPL livestream:"

"\"It's over! \""

"\"After this wave, the match completely lost its suspense! \""

"After G2 took Baron, they went back, rested a bit, then pushed forward with the Baron buff, trapping all of CLG on the high ground, and then played around Hu li's huge advantage."

"After destroying CLG's mid and bottom lanes, the Baron buff still had over half a minute left, so they kept grouping and pressed toward the inhibitor turret."

"Zven casually threw a spinning blade; its edge grazed Ryze hiding in a turret crevice, dealing two instances of damage that instantly took a third of Ryze's health."

"Lao Zhang saw this, hesitated not, flashed forward and jumped onto Ryze's face."

"Ryze melted instantly under the focus fire."

"Although Lao Zhang was eventually traded, CLG's four members died, leaving only Ezreal, who could no longer stop G2 from destroying the base."

"Around twenty‑six and a half minutes, CLG's base exploded."

"\"Congratulations, G2! \""

"The North American commentator shouted, his voice full of obvious reluctance."

"After shaking hands, the G2 team came to center stage to bow; the venue was chaotic, with few cheers, more mocking whistles and angry shouts."

"Obviously, the player who would get this match's MVP, AP, grinned widely, went backstage, grabbed his phone, and directly posted a tweet—a string of Chinese pinyin:"

"{wunengkuangnu}"

"Ka Lao Si casually retweeted it, even adding a follow‑up:"

"{I thought that when we won, the Bilgere Graham City Hall would become a library, but I never imagined it would turn into a zoo}"

"This is mocking the North American audience present for being unable to accept defeat."

North American netizens were immediately rattled, and began sarcastically saying things like "G28" and "sitting at the same table as the wild card" in the comment section.

At that time, European netizens were surely united against outsiders, so the comment sections under AP's and Ka Lao Si's two tweets quickly turned into a battleground of verbal sparring between European and North American netizens.

LPL netizens were not to be outdone either; many began translating and reposting the real-time Ou Mei showdown onto platforms like Tieba and Weibo.

In a moment, the global online world buzzed because of this match; even netizens who don't play LoL could tell at a glance, oh, the S6 World Championship has begun.

As the matches of the other teams continued on-site, the atmosphere of the grand spectacle unfolding online grew ever more intense.
