Chapter 692

Huh—

Inside the VG team's mic, Easyhoon exhaled, lifted his left hand off the keyboard to wipe his forehead—it was all sweat.

But his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment!

Then he turned his head and saw Liang Yan's thumb sticking straight up!

"Awesome."

Liang Yan uttered just two words, yet it was the most apt description. Easyhoon's play was indeed top-notch; Liang Yan had thought Easyhoon was done for, but he never expected him to burst out and escape disaster with that maneuver!

Xiao Duan also said the same as the countless chat messages: 'Dig grass, let me see it wet, Marquis, this play is too top~'

"What? What's wrong?"

The enemy's move came too suddenly and fiercely; Fu Lan Duo had been busy laning and missed Easyhoon's brilliant play, only hearing Liang Yan shout loudly, whereupon she instinctively retreated, intending to create a safe distance and switch screens to watch.

However, when he switched his view, all he saw was Easyhoon walking toward the tower while the enemy support and jungler turned and left.

Sima Laozei also missed it, feeling it a pity, and suddenly said: 'One more time, I didn't see it.'

Easyhoon, blushing, said: 'Can't, can't, just luck.'

Liang Yan laughed and said: 'Too humble, I feel you could do it ten times with no problem.'

Being praised by the thickest thigh, Easyhoon's old face flushed, his heart felt sweet, feeling happier than winning a match.

The enemy support blew two flashes but still couldn't catch him, while Faker's Rock Sparrow deliberately stepped back a few steps when Xiao Huasheng and Wolf were about to act, lowering his vigilance; since the distance was too great, after Rek'Sai and Titan had their abilities on cooldown, Faker couldn't follow up with a flash + rock thrust either, allowing Easyhoon to safely retreat to the tower.

All in all, SKT definitely suffered a huge loss this wave.

Especially at the critical moment when the Xia Gu Xian Feng was about to respawn, SKT's two main early-game initiators had both used their flashes, meaning they lost the ability to initiate the Xia Gu Xian Feng.

So, although this wave appeared to be Easyhoon using his flash to escape a gank, with neither side scoring any kills or even making close contact, in reality the tempo of this wave had a huge impact on the rest of the match.

SKT knew that losing those two flashes put them at a huge disadvantage for contesting the Xia Gu Xian Feng, so they decided to go all out, launching another surge of aggression just half a minute later—but this time their target was the bottom lane!

"Titan returned to the bottom lane, hiding in the grass to quietly level up to six, while Faker pretended to recall but actually headed down!"

"Faker unleashed his ultimate!"

"The VG duo, just taking advantage of Titan's absence to push the lane a bit, were blocked by the earth wall created by the Rock Sparrow, forcing both to flash!"

"The instant Faker landed, he flashed, cast Scatter Stone Formation, and lifted Xiao Duan back up!"

Titan burst out from the grass, but being blocked by Faker's wall he couldn't cast his hook, yet he had his ultimate! Deep Sea Impact locked onto Xiao Duan!

It's over, it's over, Xiao Duan can't escape!

Sima Laozei turned and fired an arrow that immobilized Faker, but it was useless because Rock Sparrow's damage had already been maxed out!

After Xiao Duan was blown away by Deep Sea Impact, he was then hit by Jinx's clamp, then a Super Mega Death Rocket sent him into low health, and finally, just as Faker recovered from his stun, a basic attack secured the kill.

Oh no, Faker got the kill!

This is SKT—you really can't afford any slack; otherwise, any little opening will be seized by them and they'll counterattack in a wave.

Yeah, this wave was actually the worst case: not only did we blow two flashes, but we also lost a teammate, and the kill still went to Faker.

After getting the kill, Faker didn't leave; instead he stayed and pushed the lane together with Bang's Jinx, while Titan headed toward the river.

SKT seems to be going for the first tower!

The next tower looks like it's going to fall...

Xiao Huasheng also came over and started attacking the dragon together with Titan—honestly, VG took a pretty big loss this wave.

But look at top lane—Jiao Shen seems to be going for Huni!

At the moment Faker unleashed his ultimate, Liang Yan had already guessed SKT's follow‑up plan: they would surely go for a dragon‑then‑tower combo. With the bottom side outnumbered, they couldn't win; loss was inevitable, so Liang Yan decisively abandoned defending the bottom lane, crossed the river and dove straight into SKT's upper jungle, heading to wrap around SKT's top tower.

One wave hadn't settled before another rose; the smoke in the canyon had just cleared when top lane flared up again, the crowd's cheers came in bursts, and the whole venue exploded with excitement.

The voice of the LMS commentator echoed beneath the arena's dome:

Jiao Shen is moving super fast!

Huni is a bit overconfident; after Kog'maw hits level six he's indeed harder to catch, but Jiao Shen has his ultimate!

The camera locked onto the front of SKT's top turret; Jax had been slowly pushing forward, and at this point he had amassed a big wave of minions and sent them under the turret. A low‑health front‑line minion was blown up by a turret shot, after which the turret's laser locked onto the cannon minion. Huni staggered forward, Jax kicked the cannon minion twice to quickly pull it back, and after the turret fired another shot, he turned and unleashed a double‑damage second‑stage Q to finish off the cannon minion.

At the same time, Jax activated Counter Strike and lunged at his face.

Huni immediately turned and threw his hook.

... You only think of running after taking the cannon minion? It feels like it's already too late!

Upon seeing Jax start to charge at his face, he finally realized who was coming—yeah, the hook snagged the wall as he tried to flee, but Sejuani burst out from behind the turret!

Jiao Shen's Q-flash directly interrupted Huni's dash! So cool!

Fu Lan Duo brandished her lantern and leapt up; Huni, despite trying to dodge the stun from Counter Strike with his last‑ditch evasion skill or attempting to flee, found it useless—no sooner had he landed than Sejuani's ultimate froze him!

No way you can escape! Die, Huni!

Want to trade kills using turret fire? Impossible—this pig‑riding little lass is just too tanky!

Fu Lan Duo got the kill! Thanks to Jiao Shen's rear‑end collision, VG reclaimed a foothold in top lane once again—both sides trading blows, it's incredibly exciting!

That's how high‑level play goes.

Jiao Shen turned and left, leaving Fu Lan Duo alone to push the turret; Xingduola came over from the river, apparently intending to team up and take the Rift Herald.

But I think VG still lost this wave; they're about to lose the first tower.
