Chapter 88: Jungle! Get out!

After the team fight ended, the kill ratio became 1:10, and then G2 easily took down FNC's middle turret; thus, all three of FNC's outer turrets were destroyed.

The gold gap opened to nearly six thousand.

Zven secured a double kill in that team fight.

AP also took another kill, changing his record to 2-0-2.

Liang Yan had three assists.

After the broadcast replay ended, G2's equipment slots were all updated; Viktor gained a Rod of Ages, but the most terrifying was Zven's "wheel mom", whose scattered items were all combined into Death's Dance, Infinity Edge, and Berserker's Greaves.

At seventeen minutes, this equipped "wheel mom" could no longer be described as having excellent development; under normal development, an AD at this time should have one big item plus tier two boots, but he directly had an extra big item……

Thus his damage was especially high.

When the two ADs returned to lane in mid, Caitlyn was merely hit by the wheel mom's W skill bounce and a tick from Infinity Edge, and her health instantly dropped by one third.

Can't play anymore.

Rekkles' face turned grim; he gritted his teeth, retreated, and walked toward the bottom lane, indicating he wanted to farm there, letting Febiven's Shah go to mid lane to defend.

The broadcast camera cut to the FNC backstage lounge; everyone's faces looked as if shrouded in a layer of gray mist, while coach Deilor slumped half‑paralyzed in his gaming chair, one hand propping his forehead, eyes vacant as he stared at the screen.

The view returned to Summoner's Rift; the four members of G2's mid, bottom, jungle, and support who had just taken the second dragon entered FNC's lower jungle through the tunnel Bard opened, ran near the red buff camp, and Bard threw his ultimate again.

A mass of golden light descended from the sky.

Rekkles used a mobility skill trying to escape the area of Bard's 【Tempered Fate】, but in his haste he aimed slightly off, and the golden light still struck the hem of his clothes.

Jinx, who lacked any mobility skill, simply gave up struggling——

Bang!

Before the blue side's bottom second turret, FNC's duo turned into two golden statues.

Olaf, who had activated 【Ragnarok】, burst out from the jungle shadows, his whole body flashing with red light like a demon god descending, and once again led the charge.

After Jinx thawed, she released no skills and instantly melted.

Rekkles also could not escape; he was chased down by four attackers diving the tower and soon fell.

After destroying FNC's bottom second turret, the five pushed forward with the minion wave toward FNC's high ground——Lao Zhang's big tree also came along.

While G2 was taking down the second turret, the three surviving FNC members had already fallen back; when G2 brought the minion wave up, the three were already arranged in a defensive formation on the high ground.

「Go straight in! 」

Liang Yan pinged the FNC high ground; as soon as his voice fell, Lao Zhang's big tree flashed forward and directly used 【Twisted Advance】 to bind Kai'Sa of Kikis.

Kikis wanted to cry but had no tears.

Why am I always the one who gets hurt?!

Although Febiven timely used his ultimate to push the big tree away, under the concentrated fire of G2's several long‑range champions, Kai'Sa still quickly went down.

However, it was still before twenty minutes; although the big tree had developed decently, its tankiness was ultimately limited, it took three successive shots from the high‑ground turret, and with the Shah finally completing Nashor's Tooth adding damage, its health was left barely any.

Liang Yan's Olaf also had no ultimate available.

Therefore G2 did not continue to chase FNC's mid‑jungle toward the inhibitor turret; everyone focused fire to destroy the bottom high‑ground turret and the nexus, then left.

The villains finally left, leaving a mess all over the ground.

In FNC's voice channel it was dead silent; nobody spoke.

At nineteen minutes, the high ground fell; the kill score was 1:13, the gold gap estimated to be not far off from ten thousand even if under it, no dragon had been taken, and Baron Nashor was about to respawn……

If one word were to describe the mood of the FNC members, it would be "utterly despairing".

「We'll look for a chance to steal Baron. 」

Rekkles' cold voice came through the others' headsets; yet they secretly let out a sigh of relief, subconsciously thinking: "Great, it's finally going to end."

21:05, FNC stole Baron.

21:21, all five FNC members died.

22:40, FNC's base exploded.

「Congratulations, G2! When FNC thought this dish was finally ready to come out of the oven, they chose to rush Baron, turn up the heat, and reduce the sauce, presenting a top‑tier feast to the long‑suffering audience in the final minute or so of the match! 」

After being tormented by FNC for twenty minutes, the casters on stage watched FNC go from rushing Baron to base explosion in just over a minute; they no longer shouted loudly, but instead had the composure of seasoned gourmets.

The FNC fans on site all stood up and shouted in rhythm:

「Jungle! Get out! 」

「Jungle! Get out! 」

「Jungle! Get out! 」

Rising and falling, easy to chant, like singing a song.

After Spirit took off his headphones and heard that sound, he didn't dare glance at the audience stands, lowered his head, and slunk away.

Although the fans' excitement was partly due to the casters setting the rhythm, they were not simply carried away; most of their eyes were clear‑sighted—they might not understand the game, but they understand the results!

From last summer's split's 18‑win streak, the whole season only lost two games in the playoffs finals, yet this year his mom's spring split barely made it into the playoffs!

In the summer split they could only pick on soft persimmons; whenever they met strong teams like H2K or G2 they were violently crushed in every possible way! Even playing VIT turned into a sweet tug‑of‑war lasting tens of minutes, ending only in a draw! You call that the European champions?

Pah! Disgrace!

Even my fans dare not admit it!

Now this FNC squad, the mid‑bottom trio and even the coach are all the original championship‑winning lineup from last year, so is it just because Huni left the team that things turned out this way?

Now it seems the jungle position might be the bigger problem!

……

FNC lounge.

In the face of that roaring sound wave, the lounge's soundproofing proved quite ordinary; the audience's shouts were clearly audible.

Head coach Deilor glanced at the two top‑lane and jungle players sitting with heads down, silent in their chairs; his expression was extremely complex, his brows alternately loosening and tightening, all his bitterness and sorrow written on his face.

FNC head coach Deilor

Just now, sitting backstage watching the livestream, Deilor was indeed furious, and he's still angry now; back then he thought that once Spirit came back, he would definitely give him a good scolding.

But hearing those repeated "jungle rolls" in his ears, Deilor couldn't bring himself to blame Spirit any further. Moreover, as a veteran coach who had been with FNC since S1, leading them to one world championship and five league titles, Deilor knew that the tougher the situation, the less he could blame the players, or else things would only get worse.

He let out a quiet sigh, and Deilor decided to take the blame himself:

"Alright, guys, the last game was my bad BP; for now, don't dwell on it, let's temporarily forget it and first discuss the next game…"

……

Both sides returned to the player benches.

The jeers from the FNC fans in the venue gradually subsided, with only a few especially angry spectators occasionally shouting.

The commentators chatted intermittently on stage, amid laughter listing the various mistakes FNC made in the previous game.
