Chapter 249

Good! The third game is extremely crucial!

In the LPL livestream room, Wawa's voice was uplifting, and the density of bullet comments in the livestream room also noticeably increased by a level.

No matter who wins this game, they will have two match points, while the losing side will inevitably face tremendous pressure! Therefore, for this Bo5's third game, we usually call it a match point game—it's a watershed, an absolute must-win battle!

Yes, no matter what tricks each side has, they should be brought out now.

I think both sides probably have no hidden cards left; we've entered the stage of fighting with real swords and guns, competing on pure strength.

Exactly, who will ultimately win the match point game? We'll wait and see!

Dense signal sounds rang out; at the instant the barrier vanished, both sides simultaneously rushed out of the spring, following orders to head to their respective frontline key positions.

Both sides had a fairly normal opening; the bottom lane was also normally probing, and on SKT's side, the support Jinx went online first, starting to accumulate seeds via her passive.

G2 also understood, directly sending two people to press forward, pretending to step on the seeds to bait out Jinx's Q skill, then quickly pulling back.

Oh?! Ezreal's little waist twists nicely, quite a bit of alluring charm!

Pfft... cough cough! Although the previous lane was crushed, the European duo's coordination is still fine; they weren't hit by the plant, which is equivalent to gaining a bit of mana before laning.

A small gain, a small gain.

The minions have spawned; let's look at both sides' junglers—both are helped by the top lane to start, so it should be a same-direction clear from top to bottom. Speaking of which, Miller, if both red and blue sides start from the top, what's the difference between them?

The difference is the buff. Blue side starts with the toad, because it has the Thorns buff, clearing is a bit faster and more efficient; while red side starts with the Stone Armor Beetle, its buff is Heavy Hand, a few basic attacks can stun the monster, keeping the state better.

Oh, particular!

Hey, this is all common sense; you really should study seriously.

Wawa snorted a laugh, thinking 'I'll just supplement a little chick,' I've been in the casting world for years relying purely on talking nonsense, haven't I become the top LPL caster? Everyone here are my juniors!

Jiao Shen's blind monk is also a normal start with blue buff, eating the toad then skipping blue buff to go straight for the three wolves.

The camera cuts to the bottom lane; Mithy lands an RQ on Wolf's Jinx.

Wow, Jinx is already at half health; Fan Mom at level one is quite strong.

Not just a bit strong; among long-range mages, Fan Mom can almost be called the strongest at level one, mainly because she has multiple R abilities at level one, which is too cheeky; plus Ezreal's Q range is longer than yours, so together they can basically be said to stably push the lane at level one.

But I think double mom would be even stronger.

Uh, if you're only talking about pushing lane, then indeed double mom is stronger, but there's a problem: Cart Mom's mid-game combat ability is too weak; she actually shares the same power timing as the marksman, but Cart Mom's basic attack range is only five hundred yards, while the marksman has over six hundred yards range, so whether it's pressuring towers or team-focusing on people, Cart Mom is far less convenient than the marksman; thus in this version, Cart Mom is essentially a downgrade of the marksman. During the group stage, some teams misunderstood and thought Cart Mom was very strong, but since the quarterfinals, you see, hardly anyone picks Cart Mom...

The bottom lane was pressuring the tower; Liang Yan had no chance to engage, after clearing the red buff he skipped the Stone Armor Beetle and went straight for the river crab, then entered the red side's blue buff jungle area and took a glance, happening to see Rek'Sai helping Ziggs get the blue buff, so he turned and withdrew.

Afterwards he returned to the upper half to help Perkz take the blue buff; he had planned to get the blue then go top to look for an opportunity, but as soon as he entered the river he ran into Rek'Sai coming up to eat the river crab, while at that moment Perkz had already returned to mid to lane, and Faker had pushed the lane a step earlier; top lane Bo Bi was likewise being pushed, and once a fight broke out, the enemy's top and mid would certainly arrive first.

Liang Yan gave up the plan to gank top, glanced at Lao Zhang's health, which was only about half left, and asked:

Old Zhang, want to help me push the lane?

Lao Zhang said: 'No need, no need, I can hold it!'

Liang Yan then teased, 'Steady now, don't get solo killed.'

Then he returned to his own jungle, continuing to clear from the Magic Swamp Frog downward.

On the bottom lane side, SKT's duo built up a wave of counter-push, and after their levels rose, Jhin and Jinx began to exert force; the bottom lane minion wave situation shifted, slowly advancing toward the blue side.

Liang Yan noticed the change in the bottom lane situation from the minimap, a thought of variating a gank bottom flashed in his mind, and he immediately switched to the bottom lane to check the condition of the enemy duo.

Wolf's Jinx had taken medicine to restore his health to full, and moreover, SKT's duo, having pushed the lane first, had a clear experience advantage; it was likely that by the time Liang Yan arrived, they would be one level ahead of G2's duo.

Healthy condition, double summon also present.

Our duo also lacked a stable immediate control to coordinate……

Acting rashly probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

Liang Yan canceled the variate plan, continued to jungle, after completely clearing the lower half of the jungle he finally returned to base.

The SKT duo, while Liang Yan was farming Stone Armor Beetles, pushed the lane into the tower; by then they had already vanished from the lane, presumably having rushed back home first, whereas our duo, after clearing the minion wave before the tower, then pushed the wave before returning to base.

In the haze, Liang Yan felt that an invisible great hand was controlling everything.

After being thrown off balance by G2's chaotic skirmish rhythm in the first game, SKT quickly adjusted, playing with increasing order, coordinating their advances and retreats like a precise machine, interlocking links, smooth and flowing.

This is SKT's most adept operational rhythm.

Is it you, Li Xiang He…

Liang Yan silently thought to himself, realizing he could no longer let SKT's operations continue; while reading the conditions upon returning to base, he considered a breakthrough strategy, seeking a way to muddy the waters.

But just then, bad news came from the top lane.

Lao Zhang's Bo Bi built up a wave of counter-push, pushing the minion wave forward; but while clearing the last wave of minions, he was a bit careless, after taking one enhanced cannon shot from Jayce his health dropped to one third, Lao Zhang realized the danger, activated Steadfast Presence and fled, Jayce went through the accelerator, rushed over, activated Supercharge Overload, and with pa pa pa pa four basic attacks killed Lao Zhang's Bo Bi.

"Solo kill!"

"Not good, I didn't expect that the usually steady top lane would have an issue."

"The top lane is imbalanced."

Among G2's player bench.

Liang Yan turned his head and glanced at Lao Zhang, clearly seeing Lao Zhang's face turn pale in an instant, his gaze also becoming a bit flustered.
