Chapter 158: 《The Devourer of Men! The Interdimensional Maw! A Thousand Changes》

"No way!?" Guan Zeyuan's voice trembled slightly.

"What just happened!"

"Was the Emperor of the Sands forcibly dragged out from inside the tower and killed?!"

The sudden eruption happened in the blink of an eye.

Let alone Chovy, even the observer perspective outside the game didn't see it clearly.

When the camera cut over, everyone only saw the Emperor of the Sands being dragged out of the tower alive by the Imperial Soldiers commanded by another Emperor of the Sands who was holding his staff high, following a trail of an extremely long chain!

The director quickly cut to the replay, and the rustling sounds in the arena kept intensifying.

In the replay, everything happened so inexplicably and suddenly; one could even say there wasn't the slightest hint of a warning.

Even Chovy himself hadn't noticed a thing.

The core of this effect lay in two points.

First, when Sylas was pushing the lane with Graves, he suddenly E'd forward through the minion wave, making it look like he was aiming his E.

But at the very moment of "actually making a move," Sylas's E2 was still cast toward the minion pile behind him.

That split-second movement alone was enough to make people relax their vigilance.

And the second point was the most critical—Sylas didn't steal the ultimate at the first opportunity!

Even if Chovy hadn't anticipated this maneuver, if Sylas had stolen the Emperor of the Sands' ultimate first, the Emperor of the Sands would have been more or less on guard.

This point was not easy to see clearly, even under the magnified lens of the director's slow-motion replay.

The moment Sylas released his E skill, he chose to use Flash to close the distance and shorten the "flight distance" of his R, achieving a "close-range instant steal."

At the same time, he finished stealing it in mid-air and had to press the coordinated key at lightning speed before the E skill took effect!

Just imagining it, one could feel the difficulty involved.

Of course, there were actually some small details that weren't easy to spot.

For instance, the position where Sylas landed after using Flash was exactly the "starting point" of the Emperor's Divide push-back.

So when that R-Flash was executed, even if Chovy's reaction speed had been godlike and he had truly reacted, he couldn't have dodged this forced push without a Flash to perform an instant displacement!

This was Ye Bo's ultimate mastery of the two champions, Emperor of the Sands and Sylas.

And it was precisely the combination of all these things that allowed the Emperor of the Sands to be forcibly pulled thousands of miles away and sniped, as if he had been sent up on a rocket!

The replay hadn't even ended, and the chat was already extremely lively.

【Is this the "Brother" society? What is there to learn! This hand speed!】

【It's reasonable, it's normal; after all, he can do the "Sun" character punch on the keyboard, eight keys per second is very normal~】

【Suddenly remembered that Sylas is supposed to be a hard counter to the Emperor of the Sands; after all, Sylas is the Kingslayer, and the Emperor of the Sands is exactly a king!】

【Fine, fine, you served time in Demacia, and now you're coming to kill my Shurima king, right?】

【If we're counting the backstory, the biggest beneficiary of this kill by Sylas should be Lux. She didn't even enter the lane, and she had 150 gold in bounties drop while sitting at home. How delightful~】

【What on earth is Chovy doing? If you can't play the Emperor of the Sands, stop playing it!】

"Hiss, Ye's play, this is too terrifying!" The Roaring Emperor felt lingering fear even after watching the replay.

But he seemed to suddenly realize an even more terrifying matter.

"Wait! Does this mean the mid inner tower won't be safe?!"

The director's replay footage occupied the screen, causing people's gazes to briefly drift away from Summoner's Rift.

And when the replay ended, the perspective returned to the mid lane.

It turned out that there was really only a bare ruin left at the mid inner tower!

"Pizza!!!" The Roaring Emperor shouted instinctively.

"It's ruined! How could the mid inner tower fall in less than nine minutes!?"

This was the foreshadowing from the previous wave.

Rift Herald consistently breaks two plating layers, but each layer that falls increases the tower's dual resistances, so under normal circumstances, the tower-pushing speed in the early game is very slow.

This was also the reason why Chovy had been so confident just now that he could defend the tower.

In the previous wave, the control trade-off in front of Sylas's gate sent the Emperor of the Sands, who had no Teleport, back home, and Sejuani, whose development was abysmal, didn't dare come out to clear the wave for fear of being tower-dived.

So in the last wave, Sylas and Graves had already pushed nearly one and a half plating layers.

But even so, it meant Sylas and Graves still had to face the Emperor of the Sands head-on and push through one and a half layers that had two layers of tower resistance.

Even if the Emperor of the Sands' early-game damage wasn't high, if three sand soldiers stood there and kept poking, the two squishy champions, Graves and Sylas, definitely couldn't take it; if they forced the demolition, there was a chance they could be killed!

So, looking at the situation just then, Chovy was very confident that the opponent couldn't take down his inner tower.

It's just that no one expected it.

That the Emperor of the Sands would die in the air outside the tower in such a way, without any chance to react!

As a result, Sylas and Graves entered the area as if no one were there, brought the defensive tower down to two plating layers, and then dropped the Herald to break it in one hit.

Even if Peanut ran over immediately to defend the tower, he would be powerless to stop it!

At this moment, the expressions of the five members of Gen. were very ugly.

A turtle can give up anything.

Minion waves, small dragons, the Rift, and even the Baron in extreme situations.

But the defensive tower is the one thing that must never be easily surrendered!

The defensive tower is equivalent to a turtle's shell; it is the bargaining chip for operations and maintaining the development line, and it is the foundation for basic resource competition.

A turtle without a shell—can only play the coward!

Especially since this was the most critical, the least expected, and the most impossible-to-lose mid inner tower!

What Gen. is most famous for is their ability to pull and operate in the side lanes during the mid-game.

They often develop evenly into the lane-swapping phase, then gain a little advantage from one offensive, and gain a little more from another, until the economic gap is widened, or they wait for their stable dual-carry setup to stand up and kill the game.

But in this match, the jungler misfired and couldn't even save himself, and the mid lane tower was pushed down so early...

10 minutes.

EDG took the second small dragon, and then launched a simultaneous attack on the top, bottom, and jungle lanes.

Graves had already built the Umbral Glaive, and relying on this "ward-clearing blade" and the vision expansion of Ashe's E skill, Gen. was under immense vision pressure at all times across all lanes.

However, as the LCK's number one seed, even in such a disastrous matchup, Gen. still displayed the strength of a "Turtle King."

They were also turtles.

Some turtle shells are leaky on all sides, and one can always find various gaps to poke at the most vulnerable turtle head.

But as the Turtle King, Gen. 's five members fully interpreted what it meant to be "by the book." They gave absolutely no opportunities in the side lanes, and Ornn and Tahm Kench were indeed types that were quite difficult to dive.

Consequently, all the suffering could only be borne entirely by the turtle's rear end in this match: Peanut.

"Peanut has been arrested again!"

"He was caught by the Glacial Prison stolen by Sylas, and with the well-equipped Graves, he was finished off in two shots! This little pig is truly too miserable this match, even more miserable than that Hecarim game!"

"Master Ye and Jiejie's mid-jungle synergy this game can be said to have turned Gen. 's jungle upside down!"

"If it weren't for the experience compensation, I would seriously suspect that this little pig's level would be lower than the support's. But Peanut is really a team player; even like this, he still keeps trying to initiate ganks!"

12 minutes, EDG held a 3k gold lead.

Clearly, based on the performance EDG displayed on the field, they shouldn't only have a 3k advantage.

Part of the reason for this was that Gen. 's several clear resource trades had managed to swap for some things, and Sejuani had even performed an unexpected ambush gank on the bottom lane, relieving quite a bit of pressure.

But the more important reason was actually the speed of the plating pushes.

The benefit of dropping the Herald in the mid lane was that it liberated Sylas; the Emperor of the Sands didn't dare to be arrogant across the river, so he had no chance to suppress Sylas's lane-pushing speed.

However, the pushing speed of the top and bottom towers wasn't particularly fast.

At the very least, compared to the AD's creep score difference and the tempo, the gap was obvious.

Among these factors, besides the desperate, focused attention from the jungler Sejuani, there was also the hero advantage of Varus.

Despite the immense pressure of facing Kalista and Ashe in the lane, Gen. 's bottom lane had no chance to contest lane priority, whereas the opposing bottom lane could move early to support the jungle every wave—this was also one of the important reasons why the jungle was so miserable this match.

But thanks to possessing two AOE wave-clearing skills, and with the high attack power and armor penetration of the poke build.

Varus could shoot the minion wave to a sliver of health from outside the tower every wave, and could quickly clear the wave once it entered the tower, leaving the opponent's two long-range heroes with no opportunity to hit the tower.

Of course, the price was that being too anxious to clear the wave inevitably meant missing some tower CS.

Therefore, the bottom lane AD was already down by over a dozen in creep score, basically equivalent to the gold difference of one kill.

"EDG seems to have the intention of turning to attack the bottom lane!" The Roaring Emperor was extremely nervous on stage.

Coach Kkoma, meanwhile, offered advice from afar: "This bottom inner tower must be defended; as long as it's defended, there's a chance to delay the plating!"

"They have actually barely managed to hold the situation now, not letting the gap tear open any wider; the most miserably developed Sejuani is actually of no great consequence."

"If those two long-range heroes in the bottom lane are once liberated, the speed at which the defensive towers fall will truly be unstoppable, and even the top and bottom plating layers will be quickly pushed down!"

According to the pre-game BP strategy, having the Emperor of the Sands and Varus as two long-range wave-clearers, paired with three front-liners, especially a perfect combination of two engage + one protection.

This lineup could be said to be quite reasonably arranged.

As long as they could play normally into the lane-swapping phase, even if there were slight disadvantages in the early laning phase, Gen. could use the lineup's advantages to make the opponent's push restricted at every step, slowly dragging it out until their lineup's power spike arrived!

However, the speed at which the mid tower fell was far beyond expectations.

Gen. absolutely could not accept the premature fall of the bottom lane tower.

"They should be looking to dive the bottom lane; we must defend this wave!" Peanut also realized the key and commanded aloud.

At this point in time, Gen. still had one reliance.

Teleport.

Before 14 minutes, when Teleport was not yet unrestricted, it could only be used on friendly defensive towers.

This gave Gen. 's mid and top laners the ability to "unilaterally watch over" their own bottom lane.

"Sylas and Graves have already flanked from behind!"

"The mid-lane Azir has also decisively used TP; Chovy is finally no longer hesitating."

The Roaring Emperor suddenly notices the invisible yellow ward at Azir's feet.

"Aish, look quickly. Be careful!!"

"There are wards in the mid lane! Two wards! Azir's TP location is exposed!"

If the mid-lane tier-one turret were still standing, Azir could safely TP without vision under his own turret.

But the fall of the mid-lane tier-one turret not only means the mid-lane minion wave push is under control.

It also compresses the tactical space of the entire mid lane.

Long before setting off, Ye Bo had already placed the two stealth wards he was carrying onto the mid-lane minion wave—after all, having pushed down the tier-one turret so early, he had no concerns about being ganked.

And these two wards were naturally meant to detect Azir's position.

The opponent's intent was not hard to guess.

With the bottom half of the map fallen and Graves relying on Umbral Glaive and Sweeper to clear vision in that sector, even if Azir wanted to support the bottom lane, he absolutely could not cross the line of fire on foot; he could only rely on TP.

Therefore, Ye Bo deliberately placed two wards, one in front and one behind on the minion wave, to scout Azir's movements.

And just as Graves and Sylas walked out, Chovy was still very meticulous, moving away from the minion wave first so his vision wouldn't be exposed before lighting up his TP.

But he didn't know... there was still a ward at his feet!

The moment the TP beam lit up.

Ashe nocked an arrow, and a 【Enchanted Crystal Arrow】 was aimed and fired!

The 4. -second TP channel time was perfectly enough for the Enchanted Crystal Arrow to fly from the bottom lane to the mid lane!

"The last second! Aish, it was interrupted after all!"

The four members of EDG had already surrounded the bottom lane, making a stance as if they wanted to make a move.

At the critical moment, Doran, who was still walking toward the turret wanting to channel his TP under it, noticed Little Gnar's rage and decisively pressed TP right where he stood!

Little Gnar had no crowd control to interrupt the TP.

In 4. seconds, even if they could chip away some of Ornn's health, it would be limited.

The Sejuani in the back charged out, a Glacial Prison lasso flew over, buying time for her teammate's landing!

"He TP'd!" Flandre's voice didn't sound panicked at all.

Instead, there was a hint of joy.

EDG hadn't actually intended to force a dive in the bottom lane this time.

As long as they baited out the opponent's top laner's TP, they would at least be able to take a plating off the top-lane side turret.

This was also why, even though Flandre's Gnar knew his team wanted to dive the bottom lane, he hadn't built up rage in advance, nor had he TP'd down early to follow.

As for interrupting Azir.

That was out of concern that once the opponent landed and gathered five people, they might "jump over the wall in desperation" to force a fight, avoiding a four-versus-five situation on-site and not giving them a dangerous opportunity.

And as long as they baited out the TP this time, the next time they four-man-dive the bottom lane, the opponent would have lost their only bargaining chip.

But, just at this moment.

Seeing EDG wanting to retreat without making a move, they didn't expect Gen. to decisively strike first!

It was Ruler who had a clear head and discovered the opponent's thoughts.

Knowing the top-lane tier-one turret was as good as handed over, he was desperate to find an opportunity in the bottom half of the map.

The Tahm Kench form instantly transformed into a "Mobile Xuanwu," moving his shell to find an opening, immediately wanting to poke his head out and take a bite!

Varus's R 【Chain of Corruption】 was aimed precisely forward—the target pointed straight at Graves!

Sylas was positioned further back than Graves, Kalista had Cleanse, and Ashe had the support item bind.

Clearly, Graves was the best target.

Ruler's skill accuracy was extremely high, and the logic behind this prediction was also very clear—he determined that after Graves reacted to his R, it was impossible for him to E toward the direction of the turret.

So he aimed at the direction of the left side, exiting the turret.

The predicted angle of the Chain of Corruption hit the Graves, who was just dashing left with his gun, head-on!

Tahm Kench immediately used W 【Abyssal Dive】 to burrow down, aiming at Graves's feet to prepare for follow-up CC, thereby coordinating with Sejuani to trigger the freeze, waiting for Ornn to land to complete the kill!

However.

Since Ye Bo had guessed Azir's TP intent when organizing this offensive, he naturally wouldn't have failed to consider the possibility that the four of them might also "jump over the wall in desperation."

This was why Sylas had been positioned further back.

At this moment, Sylas finally threw out 【Hijack】 toward Tahm Kench, stealing 【Devour】!

Ashe and Kalista both had their own means of self-preservation.

And as long as Sylas wasn't engaged on, if his teammates were, he could use Devour to cover them and retreat together!

The mark of Abyssal Dive at his feet grew deeper.

But just as Sylas wanted to transform into an Iron Maiden Poppy and stuff Graves into his belly,

Jiejie, his mind clear again, suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't swallow Master Ye yet! Watch Varus!"

Ye Bo trusted his teammate implicitly and immediately paused his fingers.

And the Graves, still topped with the {Root} effect, threw his Q and W forward, aiming at the Varus who was auto-attacking him, unleashing everything.

At the same time, he raised his hand for 【Collateral Damage】—launching it backward!

{The "Root" effect can only restrict skills explicitly defined as "dashes."}

The most classic example is Jarvan IV's E-Q combo; because neither E nor Q has a dash effect, even while rooted, one can still use the two skills E+Q separately, "combining" them into a dash skill to force displacement.

Graves's ultimate's "passive" forced displacement can also achieve a similar effect.

This was something Ye Bo didn't know; after all, he didn't play Graves.

Relying on the recoil of his ultimate, Graves's body violently kicked backward, jumping exactly out of the range of the Abyssal Dive at his feet!

And Varus, blinded by the smoke screen, was hit by almost all of Graves's Q, W, and R skills, taking the full brunt of the armor-penetration Graves's damage!

Because Tahm Kench still had his ultimate and Sylas didn't engage, he just helped fend off the Tahm Kench in his face while landing a long-range Q, Detonating Chain, onto Varus.

Kalista and Ashe also followed up with spears and Volley!

The fragile Varus's health plummeted; without Flash and blinded by the smoke screen, he instantly became somewhat panicked.

"Swallow me, swallow me!"

Tahm Kench couldn't care about chasing anymore and immediately turned around, swallowing Varus into his belly in one gulp.

At this time, Ornn landed and immediately called the ram toward the rear of the four fleeing players.

However, it was clear this was just an intimidation-style ram.

The failure to focus-fire and kill Graves with that last strike meant the opportunity was already lost.

Although this Gen. lineup had great potential in the mid-to-late game, its early-game combat power was truly too weak.

At this point, Varus was already critically low on health, surviving in the belly, Sejuani was a wreck, and relying solely on the landed Ornn clearly posed no threat.

But, just at this moment.

Ye Bo, who was about to retreat with his teammates, looked at the two stacks of "Catfish Marks" on Tahm Kench.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

He had no time to explain; instead of retreating, he surged forward, using a backward E to dash back toward the turret!

"Watch out for Sylas!" Lehends, thinking the opponent was coming to finish off the AD, hurriedly shouted a reminder, signaling him not to crawl out of the belly yet.

Sejuani and Ornn also turned around to block, wanting to help the AD block skills or keep him there.

But unexpectedly.

Sylas used his E skill in the opposite direction again—aiming toward the brush behind!

Ye Bo had just noticed the position where Ornn called the ram, which would disturb the Krugs.

Sylas instantly flashed, triggered his full-attack-speed passive, and flashed to lick the third stack of the "Catfish Mark" on Tahm Kench until it turned red... immediately following up with his ultimate.

Tahm Kench was thus swallowed into Sylas's belly by a giant mouth from a distance, and then instantly flew out of the turret with Sylas, pulled by the chains——————

Carrying the Varus inside his belly along with him!!!

It was as if a "two-person kidnapping" across a thousand miles had been performed, completely separating the battlefield!

<>

"What the f***?!"

"Shibal!!!"

Ruler shrieked in horror, frantically clicking his right mouse button, wanting to crawl out of the belly quickly.

But the spot where he jumped out was face-to-face with four hairy-faced, thunder-god-mouthed monks!

The low-health Varus was finished off with a single shot.

This was equivalent to two armies facing off, and someone inexplicably rushing into the enemy camp to "snatch" the opposing general and dragging him directly into their own camp for torture!

And Sylas waited for the ram's impact to end, holding him for the full 3 seconds until the drool ran out, before spitting Tahm Kench back into the crowd behind the wall.

Facing the four-man surround, Tahm Kench could only turn into a piece of stubborn catfish sashimi.

【????????????????????】

【Damn, there's such a play!! A double-yolk egg in one gulp!】

【It's over, the AD really is an egg now; Tahm Kench is the shell, he just snatched the shell and the egg out together!】

【Hey! Is this 110? I want to report someone for using chains to kidnap a dark-skinned pregnant woman! Oh yes, the location is Summoner's Rift!】

【I'm shocked; the Sylas in Master Ye's hands is truly not the same species as everyone else's; there's always a play that breaks my imagination!】

【Doing what others cannot! This is what a true professional player should do!】

"Master Ye, you are a freaking genius!" Jiejie could barely stop himself from jumping over to high-five him.

"That works too? But I remember when Tahm Kench swallows someone, doesn't he apply 'Grounding' to himself, preventing the use of displacement skills?" Meiko asked with some curiosity.

Ye Bo explained simply: "It does prevent them, but I used E before swallowing, so it's essentially a queued command, allowing for a delayed forced displacement~"

Meiko had a look of sudden realization: "Man, seeing your Sylas, I want to play it too."

"What does that mean? Am I going to have a Sylas support now?" Viper asked vigilantly.

A cheerful atmosphere filled the voice channel.

However, Ye Bo didn't want to stop this wave here: "Keep going! Don't let these two under the tower leave!"

Originally, the bottom lane was a 4v4; no matter how big EDG's advantage was, there was no reason to dive the tower. Being able to trade for a Teleport and top lane plating was already a massive profit.

But at this moment, only two people remained under the opponent's tower.

The situation had undergone a earth-shattering change.

"It's over! Totally pizza!!!" The Roaring Emperor clutched his head in disbelief: "Why did it turn out like this!"

"This champion isn't right! Even Tahm Kench himself can't do that, why can Sylas? It's too outrageous!!"

"Ornn still took quite a bit of damage from Gnar when he just teleported over, and now that all his skills are spent, these two won't be able to get away easily!"

"Ashe tanks the tower first, then the Kalista spear pulls him out; the combat power and burst damage of the three—Kalista, Graves, and Sylas—is terrifying!"

Also feeling that something was terribly wrong, Ambition suddenly realized something: "Wait... is someone missing?"

"Where is Chovy? What is Chovy doing?"

In a corner no one cared about.

From the moment the stun from the Enchanted Crystal Arrow ended, the unattended Azir was focused on his crazy battle with the minions in the mid lane.

The chat in the LCK stream seemed to have instantly found a scapegoat to vent on, outputting wildly at Chovy.

But to be honest, at least in this wave, Chovy was a bit wronged.

After all, EDG really did want to leave initially; looking at it then, even if Azir had come over immediately after his Teleport was interrupted, he wouldn't have made it... who knew the bottom lane would suddenly die like that!

After a tacit exchange of aggro and kiting, the remaining two under the GEN bottom tower were killed one after another.

Along with them, the bottom lane's first tower was pushed down.

Meanwhile, in the top lane, with the gates wide open, Gnar also pushed down the first tower.

13 minutes.

All three of GEN's first towers had fallen, plus the 0-for-4 trade that erupted in the bottom lane; the gold difference instantly jumped from 3k to nearly 6k!

A true wave of sudden death!

And such a huge gold gap meant that GEN didn't even have the qualifications to look at any map resources, including the Dragon, Rift Herald, or the jungle.

They truly activated the Turtle's Martial Soul True Form, pulling their limbs into their shells and refusing to come out.

Entering the lane-swapping phase, the EDG duo firmly controlled the mid lane priority.

Ashe and Kalista, one with Hawkshot and one with Sentinel, provided dual vision.

Plus the Umbral Glaive playstyle, which was the most important reason Graves was strong in this patch.

The three combined.

Showed everyone a vision-suppression playstyle never seen before!

And the benefit of this "Strong Lane Priority" + "Strong Vision" system was that EDG could use support to catch people out with a numbers advantage every single time!

"The first game should be over," BeryL said, shaking his head.

"This system... is exactly the bane of GEN's playstyle. They have to change their lineup next game; there's no way to play against this!"

Actually, BeryL vaguely felt that this system had similarities to the one they used in the semifinals.

Yet it seemed there was something different about it.

Perhaps, was the tempo ability of the opponent's mid laner just a bit too strong?

Of course, being able to show this effect in this match was mainly because the mid tower fell just past eight minutes, allowing Sylas to be completely liberated early and act recklessly on the map.

But BeryL could feel that there was clearly still plenty of room for improvement in the opponent's system—perhaps that proved they were still hiding things.

Fortunately, they were also...

And Zeka, sitting nearby, had his expression shift from the confidence and anticipation at the start of the match to being slightly dazed now.

The various performances of this Sylas in this match were clearly beyond everyone's expectations, including his own!

Zeka prided himself on being a Sylas specialist.

But he asked himself just now: could he have thought of that application of the Tahm Kench ultimate, and could he have replicated that Azir ultimate play with 100% success?

Zeka watched silently at the young face on the screen, who was even still rapidly barking out commands under the camera.

Actually, as early as 15 minutes in.

Everyone already felt that GEN's situation in this match was doomed.

The various early-game disasters, plus the total suppression of the lineup system!

Every counterattack opportunity GEN could find was always discovered in advance by EDG's vision, or countered with faster reinforcements, making their tempo more and more chaotic, causing them to lose massive resources wave after wave!

Macro during the lane-swapping phase was originally GEN's comfort zone and main battlefield.

But in this match, it had become a meat grinder and a death warrant in purgatory!

18 minutes.

GEN still wanted to gather all their resources to make a desperate move on the duo lane pushing in the mid lane, at least to trade for some kills.

Ornn called the ram from long range to lock them down, Sejuani flashed Q to throw out Glacial Prison, Varus even R-flashed to follow up with control, and Azir also aggressively pushed forward, determined to kill Kalista and Ashe even through their Cleanse.

But at this moment.

The duo lane suddenly moved toward the wall for no apparent reason.

And Sylas arrived from behind.

Otherwise, how could the EDG duo lane be pushing like that?

In a game with a huge lead, the best ultimate to steal from the opponent was Tahm Kench's, which was effective both for the super-high percentage health damage when catching someone alone and for the huge bounty protection for teammates.

Sylas used the 【Abduct】 combo again.

At the same time, Kalista triggered the Black Spear.

Sylas threw his chains toward the F6 camp, then flashed instantly over the wall to swallow his teammate Kalista!

One person containing + carrying the "three-in-one" combo, they flew together over the wall into the F6 camp to retreat!

This play could be called the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Infinite whimsy! The ever-changing Sylas!" Wawa watched the ever-widening gold gap, excited: "It really feels like the mentality of the GEN players is starting to crumble!"

"EDG has shown extremely strong team coordination in the first game, with their mutual cover and tacit understanding maxed out; they have truly returned!"

Miller was also shouting passionately: "Master Ye continues to bring us more surprises even in the semifinals! He, and they, are still improving!"

"20 minutes, EDG kills the Dragon Soul on time, then turns to start Baron!"

"They want to force the GEN members to come over for a team fight, but it's clear GEN isn't planning to come!"

GEN still wanted to delay their death through the strategy of holding the tower and stalling.

But the excessive gold gap, and the dual Dragon/Baron buffs secured right at 20 minutes.

Just the Baron buff alone was enough to make it impossible for the un-itemized Azir to clear the waves!

GEN retreated step by step, and at 21 minutes, they were forced to give up the mid lane inhibitor.

And EDG proceeded methodically to push all three lanes, until the opponent continued to give up the top inhibitor, and the bottom inhibitor...

Give, they could give it all.

But even with such forced concessions, facing the zombie siege of super minions in all three lanes after the Baron buff, it was already fatal enough for GEN just to clear the waves!

Finally, they brought the minions to the doorstep.

Sylas stole Ornn's ultimate, the ram summoned from long range... that creature looked like the true mount of the God of the Forge!

No one had ever seen such a terrifying Call of the Forge.

And just as the final segment of the ram touched the GEN members, who were trying to scatter and dodge.

Sylas took one step as two, E + Protobelt to dash forward, then followed with a Flash-R impact "Three-Step Layup"!

With a brute-force mountain-crushing impact, he rammed the ram back toward its starting point!

Under the infusion of terrifyingly high ability power, the magma elements submerged everyone like an erupting volcano, leaving them no time to even react.

The most fragile Varus was rammed to death and sent to the afterlife!

24 minutes, they didn't even wait for the Elder Dragon, which could end the game more decisively, to spawn.

GEN's base crystal was already unable to bear the weight and burst into a pile of sparks!
