Chapter 578: This isn't really the script, huh?

Pawn kept roaming ahead; KT's middle first tower had already lost a lot of health, and after Sima Laozei finished another sweep, its remaining health was precariously low—when VG groups up later and just applies a little pressure, it definitely won't hold.

Looking at the economic comparison, VG's economic advantage is about to open up to five thousand.

When the director switched to the lane economic panel, the gap became more concrete—VG led across the board, and the biggest gap was in the middle lane, where the Marquis alone was ahead by nearly two thousand.

Actually, after ten minutes neither side had many kills, so the five-thousand gap mostly came from turret and last-hit differences.

Put simply, this is an operational difference.

……

At twenty minutes, the third small dragon is about to spawn.

The first two small dragons were one fire and one wind, and now there is another fire dragon.

If VG were to take this small dragon again, they'd get a total 16% attack damage bonus, adding to their overall equipment advantage; this game would basically be as Changzhang said, and they could really surrender.

So KT is unwilling to easily give up this small dragon.

With such a big advantage, VG naturally couldn't just hand over the small dragon.

Thus both sides gathered in the middle lane to start fighting for lane control.

KT, after all, has the advantage of longer range; though their equipment is worse, they dare not come out to teamfight with VG, but a few of them hold the turret tenaciously—each time the minion wave comes, a barrage of skills instantly clears it, so VG really can't quickly push down KT's middle first tower, whose health is already low.

Liang Yan saw KT defending resolutely, thought it over, decided to change strategy, directly called teammates to retreat and group together toward the lower river, planning to first lure KT over.

The lower river's terrain is narrow, with the five enemies crowded together, making it easier to find openings.

Without surprise, after KT cleared the wave, Ashe's Eagle Strike revealed the five VG players running toward the dragon pit, and they immediately grouped together and hurried over.

Both sides again faced off in the river.

Under Liang Yan's command, VG's five members slightly retreated, occupying the half of the river near the lower lane, deliberately letting KT come forward and drawing them into the narrower part of the river.

Then Liang Yan planted the flag in the dragon pit, waking the fire dragon and pulling it out.

He deliberately let the dragon spray him, meanwhile unintentionally swaying forward a bit, feigning an engage, but actually intending to take damage and lose health on purpose.

During the tug-of-war, KT's two rounds of poke reduced the Prince's health by half a bar.

In KT's voice channel, it was lively, everyone's tone full of surprise:

"Hit! Hit!"

"I got hit too!"

"Haha, he's not really following the script, huh……"

Skills kept hitting the Prince, momentarily making KT's members forget their previous despair and feel hopeful again.

Liang Yan kept luring, only turning and running when his health dropped below half.

KT's members got a bit carried away, actually developing a killing intent, wanting to "slay the god".

Just as KT's formation gathered, the Prince suddenly turned back, planting the flag and firing the spear in one fluid motion, his form flashing back like lightning, then vanishing midway.

A yellow light flashed, drawing a strange turning trajectory.

Immediately after, a booming roar—

"Jiao Shen suddenly counter-engaged! EQ flash-tossed three people and directly ulted!!!"

Heaven and earth split, the wall rising from underground trapped the three!

Then, a huge golden ring encompassing KT's five members settled beneath the Prince's feet!

In an instant, swoosh swoosh swoosh, KT's three members landed and simultaneously flashed, the scene quite spectacular.

But this isn't laning; there's no reason not to kill after flashing!

"Smeb flashed out, instantly switched to the Yellow Card, turned back and locked down Jiao Shen, everyone's damage poured in and instantly killed Jiao Shen!!"

"But killing Jiao Shen is useless! The Prince's damage has already been dealt, and Jiao Shen came just to sell himself this wave—he's already fulfilled his mission of bringing Galio in!"

"Taking advantage of KT focusing fire on the Prince, Galio landed and directly unleashed a Justice Punch, W-flashing to grab Score and Mata!"

"Score had already taken a lot of damage from the Prince's burst! After Galio's combo, a big mouth's ult cannon directly killed Score!"

"Tam timely raised his shield to block a lot of AOE but still lost half a bar! Sima Laozei opened fire with his biochemical barrage like a machine gun, spraying a few shots and taking him down!!"

"Xiao Duan stepped forward, sticking to Sheng Qiang Ge, raising his shield and charging forward!"

"The Marquis gave the team a group speed boost with RE, and the four surged forward in pursuit!"

The teamfight had barely started when KT was left with only three squishies, unable to continue fighting; fortunately, the three backline members grouped and retreated, using enough hard and soft crowd control to trade and disengage, successfully pulling away from the pursuers.

VG's members realized they couldn't catch up, decisively turned back to attack the small dragon.

"Trading one for two in the teamfight plus taking the fire dragon, VG is still coming out ahead!"

"Hey, can we take Baron this wave?!"

"Never mind, never mind, taking Baron is still too risky—mainly because it's too early; at this point Baron still hurts a lot, and the enemy's three long-range champions are still alive; without Jiao Shen, attempting Baron is too prone to go wrong."

"Yes, VG doesn't need to rush; if we play steady, this game is a sure win!"

"Two fire dragons already—I feel the Marquis can now blast the enemy backline for half a bar with one RQ, and if the second hit lands too, even a single ability could leave them on scraps!"

"The fan mom is usually a support, but mid lane fan mom is different—when she farms well, her damage is quite considerable!"

"However, the Marquis built an incense burner; if he switched to damage items, his damage would be even scarier."

Before the teamfight, the small dragon had already been reduced to about half health by various unknown AOE, and during the teamfight its aggro never dropped, so after the fight VG immediately took over the dragon, needing little time—a quick focus fire took it down in a few seconds.

Afterward, VG's members directly grouped, pushed mid, destroyed KT's middle first tower, then returned to base.

The three LCK commentators saw VG not pushing further after taking the tower, simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, but inside they began to feel more unease and dread.

In that recent teamfight, KT used up four flashes, including Smeb's card and Deft's Frost Archer; ironically, the least flash-dependent, the fox and the flash, still had theirs.

The two frontliners had no flash, and the two immobile squishies also had no flash……

Meanwhile, the opposing team is a brute-force engage composition.

"Good news, Jayce and Galio have no flash……"

The Roaring Emperor thus comforted the anxious LCK viewers in the live stream.

However, there is an undercover among the crowd:

【Bad news: Prince EQ's distance to open people is farther than the W of cold ice!】
