Chapter 285: It split open!

Hello!!

In G2's team voice channel, Perkz excitedly shouted in Chinese, he was just dubbing for Liang Yan.

His voice is very loud; if someone with poorer mental fortitude heard it, they'd probably be so scared their mouse would fly away.

But Liang Yan's hand was very steady.

Moreover, he just walked out by auto-attacking the ground.

As everyone knows, after the basic attack rework, the male gunner's auto-attack ground pressure to rise (peek) is just like Garen crouching in bushes and auto-attacking then using Q; it's the hardest to defend against and hardest to dodge ambush.

As soon as the leopard woman peeked, the male gunner fired a shot on sight.

"Damn!"

Xiao Huasheng was so scared he almost lost his soul!

What's worse is that mid lane teammate Kuro simultaneously sent a mid lane Miss signal; no one knows how long the male gunner has been crouching here, but Syndra is probably about to arrive.

Xiao Huasheng ran toward the dragon pit while frantically pinging, and at the same time called for help from the top lane teammates over the mic:

"Save me! Jinghao brother, save me!"

As a leopard woman who needs to create distance, land Q damage, then transform to engage in close combat for burst, in this situation where vision is blocked and she's ambushed in close combat, she is at her weakest—especially when facing a male gunner whose burst grows stronger the closer the distance!

Xiao Huasheng knew he had lost the initiative, with no chance of a counterkill, so he had no thought of turning back to fight back; he lowered his head and ran toward the bottom of the dragon pit.

The reason he didn't run upward is, of course, because the distance is far.

The leopard woman herself is fragile; after taking the Red Buff she has less than two-thirds of her HP, and if the male gunner gets close, three auto-attacks plus a QW combo will kill her—that's just one full combo from the male gunner.

So running upward would definitely be too late; moreover, Smeb is currently a little Nautilus, with no hard crowd control, although he could use his body to block bullets for Xiao Huasheng, but Xiao Huasheng knows exactly how strong the opponent's play is, teammates can't hold him, and he'll still die.

Therefore, in an instant Xiao Huasheng judged that the only way to have a sliver of hope was to run into the dragon pit and jump over the wall.

But...

Even this sliver of hope is so slim.

On the LPL commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan took over the commentary of the encounter, full of passion:

"The two basically had a face-to-face encounter! Peanut froze for a moment! Jiao Shen mercilessly fired a shot and rushed forward! Four bullets hit the leopard woman, depleting one chunk of HP!"

"Peanut knew he couldn't win, turned and ran! Jiao Shen didn't waste any skills, quickly drew his gun and chased up, firing another shot at the leopard woman's rear!"

"The leopard woman's HP dropped below half! The Red Buff was burning her and slowing her down! A short distance of a few hundred yards at this moment felt like a heavenly moat!"

"The male gunner followed up with another shot!"

"The leopard woman is on low HP!"

"Peanut couldn't hold up! He used Flash to reach the wall intending to jump over and escape, but Jiao Shen had anticipated and flashed at the same time!"

"A Q-Flash into the wall instantly dealt two stages of 'desperate straits' damage, blasting the leopard woman down to under a hundred HP, then a smoke bomb hit the leopard woman who had jumped over the wall!!"

"Peanut only has a sliver of HP left!!!"

"Can he survive?!"

"He can't survive! He was eventually burned to death by the Red Buff! Jiao Shen got first blood!!"

"But Nautilus had already arrived! He was shoved back by Syndra's Q followed by Weak Retreat! Kuro's Twisted Fate came running from behind with Swiftness! Jiao Shen, just stepping out of the dragon pit entrance, was stunned by a yellow card! After Kuro finished his auto-attack Q and triggered Lightning, he ran toward Smeb's Nautilus!"

"Smeb rushed forward to deal damage!"

"Jiao Shen's HP is also a bit dangerous!"

"After Nautilus's three-shot explosion, Jiao Shen had under two hundred HP left! At that moment, Jia ke zhang's Poppy finally arrived and slammed the card against the wall with a wall-bang!"

"Jiao Shen didn't try to run; he used E to close in on the card and fired a shot!"

"Syndra landed a Q! Poppy's second Q then exploded the card, leaving only a sliver of HP! In the moment of losing control, they exchanged a basic attack with the male gunner, and actually both perished together!!"

Before Smeb even entered the fight, he anticipated that this wave would likely be a loss, so he kept holding his E skill; while dealing damage, he also constantly paid attention to his position, staying ready to escape at any moment.

Thus, at the moment the card fell, Nautilus directly made a light jump to leave the battlefield, not looking back as he ran toward the top lane; Perkz saw his Weak Retreat come off cooldown, intending to give chase, trying to see if he could still catch someone, but the shot-caller's voice from the spring water rang in his headset:

"Don't chase, don't waste time; even if you push for damage, it's not enough."

Just as the words fell, Perkz was grazed by Nautilus's sneaky backward boomerang, his movement speed greatly reduced. Perkz exclaimed in admiration that the play was truly impressive, then turned back to mid.

Lao Zhang also returned to the top lane, hammer in hand.

Liang Yan was still soaking in the spring water, and the audience's cheers faintly penetrated the headset.

On the LPL commentary desk, Wawa stared at the two darkened ROX avatars and shouted loudly:

"Wow! One for two!"

Miller was equally excited:

"Moreover, Jiao Shen got a double kill; the only one hurt was Peanut, who gave up a kill but didn't even manage an assist!!"

"This wave is a big momentum, this wave is absolutely a big momentum!"

Guan Zeyuan had just finished soloing a team fight, and he was still full of energy,

"Although ROX only missed one kill, but Peanut's leopard woman split open! The leopard woman at three and a half minutes, level three, with fourteen strikes was sent back to the spring water, the momentum completely cut off!"

"Looking at the male gunner, although he only had nine strikes, compared to the leopard woman he missed one monster camp, but he took two kills; his experience not only didn't fall behind the leopard woman's, it actually surpassed hers, and his gold income is incomparable!"

"Based on my personal understanding of Jiao Shen, without exaggeration, this male gunner has taken off, and unexpectedly Jiao Shen will be the MVP of this match!"

"Huh?"

Wawa and Miller both looked at Guan Zeyuan in surprise.

"Is that already MVP?"

Guan Zeyuan didn't beat around the bush, gave a direct answer:

"If nothing unexpected happens, the script should also develop like this."

"The script is already written!"

"Then I ask you, regarding this G2 team, why do you think they've made it to today, standing on equal footing with the LCK's first seed on the same stage to play the finals?"

"That's definitely because of... Jiao Shen!"

Hmm, Jiao Shen is awesome.

Exactly! G2 got this far thanks to Jiao Shen; as the team's absolute core and carry, and this match he's a Wild Core among Wild Cores—a male gunner who already got two kills early—how could he not take off?

He's taken off!

So, if nothing unexpected happens, G2 already has this match in the bag, right?

Umm...

Wawa thought about it, then nodded vigorously:

What you said actually makes sense!

Indeed, it makes sense.

Miller agreed, but after glancing at Guan Zeyuan, he suddenly shifted his tone:

However, coming from you, I think G2 is in jeopardy.

Guan Zeyuan: 'Tch!'

I've cheered for G2 more than once or twice—have I ever jinxed them to death?

Actually, it's you two.

How did SKT lose the third game of the semifinals?

It was probably because Faker's keyboard was going crazy with cheers, his actions went unresponsive, and that led to that astonishing kick.
