Chapter 241

「Bengi reacted fast! At the moment Faker was knocked back, he directly landed a Golden Bell Cover on Faker and immediately followed with a Fierce Dragon Tail Sweep kick! 」

「Viktor simultaneously threw a set of skills over the wall! 」

「Jinx just flashed forward and threw an E, but got knocked back! 」

「But there's a line!!! 」

「Before Mang Seng's kick landed, Vi had already locked onto him!!! 」

Faker finally panicked.

When he saw a line connecting Vi, who had been kicked back by Mang Seng, and himself, his face instantly turned pale.

The next moment, Faker flashed backward without hesitation.

Vi's ultimate 【Heavenly Overlord Sky-Shattering Blast】 has the unstoppable and absolute lock-on properties; once locked, no matter what happens during the cast—even if a grasshopper's ultimate grabs her, or even if the target teleports back to the fountain mid-flight—Vi will relentlessly fly toward the target until she knocks them back.

Flash certainly cannot avoid it either.

Faker knew that.

He just wanted to create a little distance, gambling on that slim chance of survival.

「Bengi got tangled by Jinx's E! 」

「Faker flashed out before being caught! 」

「But Vi still followed up! 」

「Faker got punched and knocked back! 」

「Jinx landed and immediately unleashed her ultimate! 」

「Viktor flashed over the wall, then chased with rapid movement and kept dealing damage! 」

「Faker landed and directly used his ultimate to wrap up the Foot God, then dashed away trying to escape! 」

「But he was still flung away! 」

「Tahm activated Deep Abyss Dive and flew over! 」

「Duke also used Teleport! 」

「Everyone wanted to protect Faker! 」

「However, Jinx's perfect finale added this final shot!!! 」

「Faker fell!!! 」

Boom!

Over twenty thousand spectators all let out a gasp!

At the moment Faker fell, the three Korean commentators, like they had lost their parents, let out a wail; even though the team fight hadn't ended, the Korean-language stream instantly turned into a mourning scene.

Ziggs was not only the blue team's fattest player, but Faker was also the core of SKT; his death not only collapsed SKT's fighting power, but also broke the mentality of the four sand soldiers.

Bang had just been brought over by Tahm's Deep Abyss Dive and wanted to jump away, but in his panic he angled wrong and hit the wall; frightened, he quickly used Flash and finally managed to flash through the wall and escape.

Duke landed and immediately jumped toward the river route, escaping narrowly.

Bodyguard Bengi quickly followed in Faker's footsteps, falling under Jinx's fourth shot.

Tahm, whose physique closely resembled that of its controller, possessed a bulk matching its size; Wolf knew he couldn't escape, so he resisted the urge to use Flash and painfully stood in place awaiting death.

Amid a roar like mountains and seas, the on‑air commentators shouted at the top of their lungs:

「UNSTOPPABLE!!! 」

「G2 took this team fight without losing a single member!!! 」

「Faker is dead!!! 」

「Bengi is also dead!!! 」

「All of G2 rushed toward Baron Nashor!!! 」

「No one can stop them anymore!!! 」

「They are marching toward victory with light steps!!! 」

「And the one who caused all this is actually the demon king we once thought invincible!!! 」

「Faker! Because of his mistake, SKT might very well throw away the first game of this crucial Bo5!!! 」

「Jeez!!! 」

「Could it be that G2 is really going to win?!!! 」

「ICANTBELIEVE!!! 」

The sound blasting from the venue's PA system made people's heads buzz, while the uproar created by over twenty thousand spectators made one feel as if standing in the center of a tsunami; each person expressed their inexpressible excitement and excitement in their own way, turning the whole venue into an ocean of celebration.

On Twitch's official stream, the dense barrage of comments flooded the screen.

【POGCHAMP！】

【Fakerishuman】

【EU＞KR！】

【FIRRRRREISGOD！】

A few seconds past twenty-seven minutes, Nash Baron's death throes echoed throughout the arena.

G2 successfully took the Baron bounty and buff, and all members returned to base to recuperate.

Then the teamfight replay came up, and it gave the Korean commentators and SKT fans a thorough beating again.

On the Europe commentary desk, the four Europe commentators were so excited they couldn't sit still, all standing while commenting, and everyone's face showed a red glow of extreme excitement.

After the replay ended, the camera panned over the SKT players' bench again.

Faker, face ashen, scratched his forehead, speaking quickly with a stiff expression.

However, the four little ones just looked blank.

They couldn't see the gold difference panel, but just a glance at the item slots to roughly compare the equipment gap showed that their side's economic disadvantage had probably skyrocketed.

G2 is not the C9 that could be easily overturned in the group stage; even setting aside their past scrims and all research, just looking at G2's performance in this game, one can easily conclude that G2's overall strength now rivals that of the top LCK teams.

In fact, in certain aspects, G2 leads all global regions.

For example, the use of vision advantage. Before this game, SKT had never felt such suffocating vision pressure from any opponent.

Of course, G2 had not shown this ability in previous scrims; obviously, in their scrims against SKT, they deliberately hid part of their strength.

However, SKT is the same.

Overall, regarding vision control, even SKT needs to learn from G2, and a team like this could never be overturned when holding a huge advantage.

If not for Riot's non-public ban, SKT would have already surrendered.

Although surrendering is shameful, it can prevent further damage to morale; when the game is truly beyond recovery, coaches allow them to surrender.

For example, at last year's MSI, SKT surrendered a game, and many other teams have also surrendered, including that year's champion team EDG, which SKT also forced to surrender in a game.

Even at last year's World Championship, there were teams that surrendered a game.

But perhaps because too many surrenders happened last year, after the S5 World Championship ended, Riot directly issued a ban prohibiting surrender in all international events.

Since they can't surrender, they have no choice but to play properly.

Facing G2's advance with the Baron buff, SKT put up a tenacious resistance.

But it was to no avail.

In the face of such a huge power gap, SKT lacked the means to engage in team fights; unable to teamfight, they could only avoid combat, and avoiding combat cannot be a perfect defense.

Furthermore, in SKT's entire roster, only Faker's Zed has relatively good waveclear; the other two carries, Nasus is short-ranged, and Ezreal aside from his ultimate has no other AOE abilities, making them poor at clearing minions; usually this isn't obvious, but when the front-line minions gain the Baron buff and become extremely tanky, these shortcomings are suddenly magnified, becoming the team's weak point.
