Chapter 271: Block them back, keep demolishing!

Bang couldn't dodge the second bullet, and after being slowed, the third bullet arrived as expected.

Olaf, with the sprint and Fan Mother's shield, accelerated and charged forward.

Boom! The fourth bullet struck without suspense, and Bang fell.

【ACED！】

Amid the cold female voice announcement, Jinx put away her gun, turned around, and together with the troll began to destroy the tower.

Olaf, flanked by the left and right guardians— the Clockwork and Fan Mother— stood in the open ground behind the crystal, outside the range of the upper lane highland tower.

Not long after, teammates who had destroyed the second tower arrived with the minion wave.

Everyone swarmed forward and began to destroy the highland tower.

When the highland tower was destroyed, Wolf's Jinx, the lowest-level, respawned first.

But his Jinx, lacking flash and ultimate, dared not approach the G2 Zhong Ren; he could only stand far away, watching, waiting for other teammates to respawn.

When G2 Zhong Ren finished destroying the crystal, Faker's Viktor also respawned.

At this point, G2 had three options.

First, everyone decisively retreats to go fight the Baron Nashor; this is the safest. Bo Bi, Mang Seng, and Ezreal will at least have over twenty seconds before respawning, so G2 can surely secure the Baron Nashor without risking any casualties.

Second option: directly cross the highland to destroy SKT's lower lane highland. Since the lower lane minion wave has just pushed up, G2 can break the lower lane highland and then return home to regroup before attacking the Baron Nashor, with the advantage of two super minion waves helping to hold back SKT's players; G2 can still steadily take the Baron Nashor, and compared to the first option, this option yields greater profit. However, there is some risk.

Because SKT also knows that if they let G2 finish destroying both lanes and leave safely, the match will end, so the two who have already respawned will surely give their all to hold off the opponents, waiting for the others to respawn before dragging G2 into a fight.

Of course, G2 also has the chance to use their numerical advantage to first find an opportunity to eliminate Faker and Wolf, but after all there is some risk, because Liang Yan's Olaf lacks the sprint and cannot initiate a team fight, having taken so much tower damage he only has one-third of his health left, while Faker's Viktor has a flash, and if he gets caught in Faker's little universe explosion, a godlike tug-of-war could ensue...

So the risk definitely exists.

However, the risk of the third option is the greatest.

But the reward will also be the greatest.

It is to attempt a direct one-wave push.

At this moment, SKT has three people still soaking in the fountain.

But if we let G2's all members go all-out to destroy, they can push down SKT in just over ten seconds.

But obviously Faker and Wolf will exert all their strength to obstruct.

How to choose?

The decision rests in Liang Yan's hands.

Just before the SKT upper lane crystal exploded, Liang Yan had already made his choice:

"Don't retreat, block them back into the fountain and destroy them directly!"

Olaf's health is low; although his dual resistances are high and even with a shield he can still endure, but at this moment there is someone more suitable to be at the front, so he doesn't need to lead the charge.

The two remaining SKT members are pure AP damage; Lao Zhang's troll is built semi-tank, with an item that greatly increases magic resistance, the Vigor Armor, and his health is full.

Mithy gave the troll a shield, and Lao Zhang directly charged forward.

Liang Yan provided cover from the side.

The two front liners, accompanied by the three back liners, rushed toward Faker, who had just run out of the fountain.

The on-site caster shouted excitedly:

"Jeez!!"

"G2 still aren't leaving! They actually want to end this match in one wave!"

The scene was like a boiling ocean, with everyone making their own noise, voices clamoring, extraordinarily heated.

Facing G2 Zhong Ren, the flashless Faker could only retreat; although G2's teamfight ability is average, a Viktor without flash or displacement, once caught by a pillar, would instantly melt under the focused fire of the three backliners, so Faker could only bring Wolf along, retreating all the way to the fountain.

G2 achieved their offensive goal and began executing the next step.

The three long-range backliners dispersed around the fountain, trapping Faker and Wolf inside, while the two front liners started to destroy the tower.

Liang Yan's Olaf in this game is built pure tank, with average damage output and average tower destruction speed; the main force for destroying towers is certainly the troll with Greedy Nine-Headed Snake + Ice Fist.

A piece of trivia:

Although the inhibitor tower is the last line of defense, its defensive strength is not higher than that of the other outer towers; indeed its output is weaker than the outer towers, because at this point both the inhibitor and highland towers are still laser towers.

Another piece of trivia:

The troll's Q ability, Razor-Sharp Bite, is actually an on-hit effect that deals extra damage while granting the troll increased attack power. Although patch 6.1 removed the extra damage to towers from this Q ability, the attack power boost it gives the troll itself is real, and the Q ability can also reset basic attacks.

A fully leveled W ability can increase attack speed by 80% within eight seconds!

Three attacks per second with 300 attack power, plus a radiant effect— who could withstand that?!

Before people could react, SKT's first inhibitor tower had already collapsed.

Faker in the fountain saw the second inhibitor tower's health rapidly dropping, shocked and anxious, he began throwing all his skills outward, desperately trying to rush out.

Wolf is the same, but at this late stage of the game, only a small mask is an AP Jinx, whose damage is truly low, somewhat pitiful.

As the situation inexorably pushed toward the climax, the casters' voices grew ever more excited, the audience stood up one after another, and everyone gradually fell into a frenzy of excitement.

"The troll swings his big club, wildly smashing the tower! The tower destruction speed is astonishingly fast!"

"It's really going to end!!"

"G2 is going to make it to the finals!!!"

"Faker unleashed all his skills! The damage is considerable, but G2's members are spread out, so his combo can only hit one person, and with Fan Mother's shield protecting Jinx, she still has one-third of her health, while Jinx's output at this point is almost nil!"

"After Viktor's skills went on cooldown, he posed no threat and was hit back by a combo from the Clockwork and Fan Mother, reduced to low health and pushed back!"

"Wolf recklessly charged outward trying to kill Jinx, ended up taking some mysterious AOE, and finally Jinx turned around and shot him twice, killing him in the fountain!"

"Meanwhile Olaf and the troll have already destroyed two inhibitor towers and are frantically pounding SKT's big crystal! This is SKT's last stronghold! But this stronghold is already on the verge of collapse!"

"Faker once again surged outward! Flash EQ finally killed Zven, but he himself was drained of blood by the Clockwork and ultimately collapsed beside the fountain!"

"Everything is now settled!!"

"Even the Demon King is powerless! Faker despairingly closed his eyes! His hands trembled! His face turned as pale as paper! He knew defeat was imminent!!"

"It's over!!!"

"G2 is really going to make it to the finals!!!"

"As the troll swung its final strike——"

"Boom!!!"

"SKT's big crystal suddenly exploded!"
