Chapter 264: Total Collapse
Olaf stood in the middle of the lane like a war god, and as soon as the duo brought the minion wave over, he immediately picked up his axe and advanced!
Jinx directly pulled out her ultimate and began sniping!
The two under the tower are both targets!
Janna unleashed her ultimate to clear the line!
Olaf immediately threw an axe over, looking like he was about to launch a charge!
Trundle also placed a teleport on the ward Olaf had placed!
【7> Bo Bi almost simultaneously used her teleport!
Bo Bi almost simultaneously handed over the transmission!
However, just as the red side's teleport was about to land, Trundle canceled his teleport.
Duke realized it too late; Bo Bi whooshed into light and flew to the bottom lane.
The Olaf who had just been preparing to charge turned and ran into the jungle.
SKT's entire rhythm instantly fell into chaos.
Duke took a few steps forward, walked into the grass in the middle of the broken wall, confirmed Olaf had left, then stood in the grass and recalled.
What Duke didn't know was that this grass contained a fake ward Olaf had left before leaving (the third-level green wild blade has two charges when leaving the base, allowing consecutive ward placements).
As Bo Bi, recalling from the grass, had just begun the channel, an axe flew from the enemy jungle wall and with a pop interrupted his recall.
Duke, feeling frustrated, estimated the distance to the wall, stepped back, judging that Olaf couldn't throw that far, then pressed recall again.
Support Wolf, fearing he'd be interrupted again by Jinx's deadly flourish, deliberately stood in the middle of the three‑point line as a bodyguard.
Unexpectedly, as the channel reached halfway, a beam of light flew from the triangular grass—Fan Mom circled from the river into the triangular grass and threw a searing flame.
"Diu Ke's recall was interrupted again!"
"Wow, taking turns torturing, these two are too nasty!"
"It's so painful……"
Countless spectators at the venue laughed until they doubled over.
And in the SKT players' bench, Duke practically had the heart to want to die.
Blank's voice came through the headset:
"Brother, find a safe spot to recall; I'll clear the minion wave for you."
Ten seconds after respawning, the Mang Seng ran down from high ground and headed straight for the top lane; over at the first tower, Trundle was wildly smashing the tower with his big club.
Just Duke being honest—if it were anyone else, they'd probably have flared back by now.
"Brother, it's not your fault that I'm feeling this awful!"
The first tower probably can't be taken down, since Trundle doesn't just destroy towers straight from Bo Bi's teleport; he needs to bring the minion wave in, and in the end it'll likely have about one‑third of its HP left.
But the middle lane tower is sure to fall.
When Faker first roamed to the bottom lane, that tower had already been chipped for about one‑third of its HP by Orianna; later, because Faker couldn't get the blue buff, he was also at a disadvantage in lane, and although minions couldn't survive long under the tower, the repeated hits inevitably wore down the tower's HP.
Thus, when Faker had just died, SKT's middle first tower actually had just over half its HP left; it's been over ten minutes, so the tower's defensive reinforcement has long expired, and Orianna, with her ability‑power boost, actually destroys towers fairly quickly.
Then, as Olaf plunged into the jungle to start stealing red, SKT's middle first tower collapsed with a crash; the first‑tower bounty went solely to Perkz's Orianna, and besides that, the rest of G2 each received a 100‑gold team bounty.
On the top lane, the Mang Seng finally arrived, but the minion wave in front of the tower was almost gone.
The on‑site casters glanced at the economic gap and were startled.
"What?! G2 actually has a 4,000‑gold economic advantage!"
"Oh my god……"
The audience let out a shocked exclamation.
On the LPL commentary desk, Miller also stared wide‑eyed in surprise:
"Good heavens, G2's lead is a bit too big, and it's only been 15 minutes."
"It feels like the mid‑lane Orianna play buried the foreshadowing."
"And there was the Mang Seng's rear‑grab play."
"Exactly, G2 knew you had no flash in mid or jungle, seized the chance to invade and kill two, then pretended to collapse but actually forced a recall, leaving SKT unable to cope at both ends, and then G2 took the middle first tower in one push; the kill plus tower damage plus the CS gap from SKT's deaths directly caused SKT to be flung into a huge economic deficit by G2."
"Perkz seized the opportunity really well."
"So he made a fortune this wave."
"And it's only right that he gets it; thinking back, his ultimate actually has a bit of a 'one‑hit‑wonder' feel."
"SKT won't really lose, will they……"
The commentators were all savoring G2's astonishing rhythm, yet in fact this rhythm hasn't ended yet.
After Liang Yan cleared his red, he scanned and removed the ward Faker had just placed in the F4 camp grass, then turned and ran toward the bottom lane.
The same appearance spot.
The SKT duo that had just cleared the line and returned to base were intercepted midway.
Meanwhile, the G2 duo that had recalled first and left base already had the wave pushed to the tower.
"These two from SKT can't get through!"
"It's over, the next tower will fall too!"
The minion wave entered the tower and in less than ten seconds SKT's bottom tower fell.
The economic gap approached five thousand.
"Chaos, chaos, it feels like SKT's rhythm is completely messed up!"
"It's not just messed up—it's collapsed."
Blank was like an anxious firefighter, eager to regain his rhythm; right after clearing the top lane minion wave he came to mid lane to help Faker push the wave out, then went from the river into the red side's upper jungle, hid in the F4 camp, intending to wait for Faker to bring the wave into the tower and then kick Orianna.
But Perkz was very careful this game; before entering the tower from the fridge bush, he warded through the wall and revealed the Mang Seng, saw someone camping him, and immediately retreated to the second tower.
Blank could only give up on catching people and turned to steal red.
Got a red counter, better than nothing.
A drop in the bucket, it feels like driving a screw into a wall about to collapse, completely unable to stop the overall trend of total collapse.
When the situation temporarily stabilized, the economic gap between the two sides stayed around five thousand.
At a glance at both sides' equipment slots, it's clear that in all three lanes including the jungle, they are ahead by at least half an item; the jungle and Zhong Lu are the most exaggerated, each ahead by nearly a full item.
The AD gap is not small either; with Faint Dream plus Sawtooth Short Dagger, a full set of scattered items, Zven's Jhin in this time frame has combat ability that crushes EZ.
Poor EZ, even at 17 minutes they still haven't completed their first completed item.
He first bought double tier‑2 boots; otherwise he actually should have had it.
I think we should switch to Iceborn Gauntlet; this development is really too poor. By the time Trinity Force is done, the enemy will probably have two items.
Then what should we do about his scattered items?
What to do? Just keep them as scattered items.
G2 Zhong Ren rested up and headed out again.
Olaf, with a spring, lightly leaned up and easily let the troll knock down the already low‑health top turret.
