Chapter 374: One Punch Kill

EDG Shang Ban Qu four people swarmed toward Da Long Keng.

"Huh? Is EDG going to engage the dragon?"

"Bo Bi got beaten and retreated to base; it feels like we can really give it a try!"

"Bo Bi returned to Quan Shui instantly, a TP directly teleported onto our team's true sight above the dragon pit, while the rest of teammates had already arrived, Ice Archer's Volley directly woke up the dragon!"

"The situation instantly became tense, and the audience erupted."

"A Guang just got T'd!"

"EDG really is going to engage the dragon!"

"But VG had a warning! Fiora could clearly take down the tower but didn't, obviously anticipating this! As soon as EDG started attacking Sima Laozei's Foresight Remodel, it came over, seeing EDG indeed engaging the dragon, the four of them immediately ran this way!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge just walked out of Quan Shui, quickly also placed a TP on his teammate's ward!"

"But EDG is fighting so fast!"

"The Snake Lady's damage is terrifying!"

"The Snake Lady's E skill, even without blue buff, spams insanely; this damage is an order of magnitude higher than an ADC's, and the dragon's HP visibly drops!"

"At 26 minutes, the dragon had around 12,000 HP; in just a few seconds, EDG's four-man focus fire took out one-third of it!"

"The dragon-taking speed is too fast! VG might not make it in time!"

"Over on VG's side."

"Xiao Duan, leading the charge, was the first to spot EDG members inside the dragon pit; not far behind were Liang Yan's excavator and Sima Laozei's Varus, while Marquis's Ryze was still in the jungle, coming from the blue buff direction."

"Xiao Duan continued to scout forward, while the opposing side sent out Meiko's Bard and A Guang's Bo Bi to press forward, preventing Xiao Duan from getting closer."

"VG's vision in the dragon pit had been completely cleared, making it impossible to know the dragon's HP."

"Shall we fight it?"

"Xiao Duan's voice was clearly tinged with tension."

"Although we couldn't see the dragon's HP, judging by the time, it's probably low."

"As Xiao Duan spoke, Liang Yan had already come up behind him."

"Hesitation means defeat!"

"Go!"

"Liang Yan directly used a tunneling dive toward Meiko."

"A Guang hesitated for a moment, not activating Steadfast Presence."

"Sima Laozei let loose a fully charged arrow that shot diagonally into the dragon pit, hitting two people; with the dragon's debuff bonus, the damage of this arrow looks exaggerated!"

"Jiao Shen just charged in!"

"Xiao Duan took a sip and also surged forward!"

"The dragon still has one-quarter HP—should we finish it off or teamfight first? EDG seems to have split: three members came out of the dragon pit, leaving only Ai Luoli to keep attacking!"

"Jiao Shen lifted Meiko, but then A Guang shoved him away!"

"Sima Laozei fired his Chain of Corruption!"

"A Guang swung his hammer!"

"Marquis arrived! A barrage of output knocked Meiko down to low health; he quickly flashed away! Bo Bi! Bo Bi can't hold up either!"

"The dragon's reduction of both resistances makes the enemy's output too painful!"

"Ice Archer's arrow only hit a single tentacle!"

"Meiko tried to ult to lock down Sima Laozei, but Sima Laozei flashed forward and went berserk with output!"

"Bo Bi went down first!"

"Marquis flashed after him and crushed another Meiko!"

"Scout turned around and unleashed his ultimate on Ryze, but couldn't save Meiko! The mid and bot lane carries both ran up!"

"Ai Luoli emerged from the dragon pit, kicked Rek'Sai away with one foot, then landed a Heavenly Sound Wave on Sima Laozei's second kick, following up to try to kill!"

"Xiao Duan flashed in and devoured, saving our AD!"

"Jiao Shen tunnelled back and launched Ai Luoli into the air!"

"Ai Luoli also went down!!"

"VG stopped pursuing; everyone rushed into the dragon pit to start taking over the dragon fight! Although the dragon's HP had recovered to nearly full, EDG only had two people left and couldn't stop them from securing this Baron Nashor!"

"Zero for three, plus the power of Baron Nashor, and EDG completely collapsed!!"

"It's over, the dragon ruins a life!"

"My goodness, VG played that teamfight incredibly well!"

"The decision was correct, but EDG didn't play the teamfight well, and this one just blew up."

"Actually, objectively speaking, it's not that VG played well, nor that EDG played poorly; it's that the dragon's debuff is terrifying—anyone who gets touched by its saliva turns into a squishy!"

"Yes, even a fully tank Bo Bi couldn't hold up, melting in just a few seconds; once Bo Bi died, EDG had no one left to soak damage, collapsing like a mountain!"

"The livestream chat exploded."

"【You said we should take the dragon, and you also said the dragon ruins a life!】"

"【Commentary doesn't equal nonsense!】"

"【But EDG really didn't play the teamfight well.】"

"【Blown up, blown up, GG!】"

"【2-0, congratulations VG!】"

"【VG, rise up!】"

"【Sima Laozei is too fierce!】"

"【Ma Ge is awesome, too daring with damage!】"

【Those who said before the match that VG stinks like rotten fish and shrimp, come out!】

「Congratulations, VG! 」

They didn't wait for the second big dragon; five minutes later, EDG lost another team fight on high ground, and VG wiped out their Ji Di in one push.

「Congratulations, VG, 2-0, well done! 」

「With their newly assembled lineup, they snatched a very impressive opening win in their season debut, and they did it against a strong team like EDG; I think this VG will surely surprise everyone this year, possibly even setting a new record for the team's best performance. »

「Ugh, saying this now might be a bit early, but VG indeed proved their strength after this match; VG's fans and management can relax, having this match as a foundation, I believe VG's performance this season won't be bad, and this is only the spring split; as a newly formed team, they still have plenty of time to gel. »

「Speaking of gelling, I think EDG has the same issue, and it's not just between players; there's also a need for the coach and team to gel. »

「Yes, EDG also has a long road ahead, but I believe with their rich team experience they can adjust quickly. So getting back to this match, what do you two think? 」

「It's a pity; EDG still couldn't hold on. In this match, EDG played well in the early and mid game, but they faltered late, and the baron team fight was crushed by VG in one push. »

「I also think EDG played well early on, but really their late-game shotcalling was poor. »

「Hey, don't you feel like this match looked like a kid punching and kicking an adult, wildly provoking, until finally touching the adult's bottom line, and then getting knocked out with a single punch? 」

Chang Mao started cracking cold jokes again, and in his sloppy state he was a bit loose-lipped, but at this moment EDG fans were in a panic, with no time to scold him.
