Chapter 64: The wicked middle first tower, four dragons on the verge of victory

14 minutes, gold difference 3.5K.

QG has a considerable advantage this game.

All three lanes—top, bottom, and jungle—have a last‑hit advantage, and the defensive towers are ahead 2‑0.

"Take the small dragon, then push mid lane."

Xu Dongmen formulated a plan.

The small dragon was taken easily, and afterward the entire focus shifted to SKT's middle first tower.

If we don't take down this middle tower, the snowball will be hard to grow.

QG gathered four members, a great army pressing the border.

xiu~

At the moment the minion wave entered the tower, the defensive tower lit up with a red‑side TP.

Duke teleported down with Poppy to defend the tower.

Except for Faker, all of SKT were present.

"QG's hand is a bit short this game; it's not easy to take the tower."

"But their goal is crystal clear: push the middle tower, and they even landed the spear on the courier girl!"

The echo came back; the damage of a max‑level spear was more than Braum could withstand.

Xu Dongmen kept harassing and draining from the flank with his spear.

Next, another spear hit Poppy, but Duke had built magic resistance this game, so the spear's effect on him wasn't that obvious.

"No, we can't keep draining like this."

Xu Dongmen shifted his view to the bottom lane; at that moment, Faker's Yellow Chicken had already started hitting the tower.

In the current version, W【Summon Sand Soldiers】can still be used on defensive towers; this is also a major trait of the Sand King hero.

With W plus Nashor's Tooth, the tower‑taking speed is no less than that of an ADC.

"QG now has two options: either let V teleport to bottom lane to defend the tower, or teleport to mid lane to protect the minion wave."

"They chose the latter—Ekko teleported to protect the wave, and this wave has a big vehicle!"

Accompanied by the teleport swirl, QG's five members gathered, vowing to take down the middle tower.

But just then, Duke's Poppy lifted his great hammer.

Boom~

As soon as V landed, the powerful shockwave blasted both him and his minions away.

SKT, relying on Poppy's ultimate, defended against this five‑man push.

At the critical moment, amidst the chaos, Xu Dongmen's spear hit the Wheel Mother, cutting her health in half.

——Blue side defensive tower destroyed

News came that the lower tower had been breached; Xu Dongmen and the others knew they could wait no longer.

When the next minion wave arrived, they boldly launched a tower dive!

"We must win this fight; otherwise, if we drag it out until the Sand King arrives, we'll gain nothing."

"Ekko will tank the tower first, then force the Wheel Mother to flash!"

"Watch out for the Blind Monk, watch out for the Blind Monk!"

"Nice!"

UZI and the others focused fire to take down the Blind Monk, while Xu Dongmen flashed in beneath the tower and ruthlessly bit off the War Goddess's neck.

1 for 2!

On QG's side, the troll fell; on SKT's side, the Blind Monk and Varus were killed.

"The start was great, but unfortunately after diving the tower this wave, we can't keep pushing forward."

"Our condition is too poor, and the Sand King has already arrived; we have to retreat this wave!"

"We took out Bang; this wave is still acceptable."

They returned to base to resupply.

Xu Dongmen cleared the jungle, while the others went to the lanes.

After managing the two side lanes well, they regrouped once more in the middle lane.

"QG is determined to push this middle tower!"

"But SKT's defense is equally resolute; this time the Sand King arrived early, and everyone teamed up to defend."

"Wow, this minion clear!"

Even the doll Miller inhaled a breath of cold air with a hiss.

With the Sand King and the Wheel Mother guarding together, let alone pushing the tower—the minion wave couldn't even reach the defensive tower.

QG's advance was blocked again!

"Watch out, don't get caught."

Xu Dongmen did not lose heart, nor did he hastily order everyone to retreat.

Stalemate in the mid lane, preventing the Sand King from developing on the sides, which works in their favor.

But he also knew this situation couldn't last forever, so he quietly let Doinb slip to the bottom lane to start playing cat‑and‑mouse.

The moment Da B appeared in the bottom lane, SKT swarmed out from under the tower all at once.

UZI and the others had already taken precautions, pulling back to keep distance.

At the same time, Xu Dongmen entered SKT's lower jungle to steal their blue buff.

SKT, leveraging their numerical advantage, launched a counter‑push in mid lane, but Lucian's Sacred Shot cleansing is likewise a minion‑clearing god technique.

Plus, with Ekko and the troll assisting in defense, they still couldn't reach the defensive tower.

Looking at Xu Dongmen and Doinb, they have already taken down the bottom second tower.

"This wave of poke is very profitable!"

"This is exactly the rhythm we want; SKT is being led by the nose completely."

"Look at the junglers' levels on both sides; the Leopard Girl is already two levels ahead."

"A level 12 versus a level 10."

"Xu Dongmen returned to base and built an Ice Staff, becoming the first on the field to have two items."

"Chrono offers good value, but this item is still too sluggish."

"As a second item, the Ice Staff gives stronger immediate combat power and can better hold enemies."

"At 21 minutes, the third dragon respawned."

"This time, SKT still didn't come to contest the fight."

"They wanted to swap the top tower to give the Emperor a chance to farm."

"V didn't want to give it up, but this wave SKT's jungler and support are both moving toward the upper half."

"Even with an escape as strong as Ekko's, they couldn't stop a three‑man tower dive."

"It's fine; if it's given, it's given."

"From the god's‑eye view, Miller quickly made a decision."

"When SKT pushed top, QG also began to act on the bottom second tower."

"SKT's bottom second tower already had little health, and with only Duke defending bottom lane, it couldn't be held."

"Trading one tower for two, plus a dragon."

"This wave is still profitable!"

"But this middle first tower is really annoying; we just can't take it down."

"Wawa said worriedly: 'When Xu Dongmen and Doinb took down the bottom second tower, the Little Dog and Doomsday also pushed a wave in mid lane, but Wheel Mom's wave clear is just too fast, and we still couldn't take it down!'"

"Bang's development this game is quite ordinary; only by 20 minutes did he have a Mana Reaver and a pair of attack speed boots, falling behind UZI by a whole B. F. Sword."

"His combat ability isn't on the same tier, but wave clear and tower defense are fine."

"Besides Lucian, Sivir is also one of the biggest beneficiaries of Death's Dance."

"With high cooldown and high mana restore, this item is basically a tower‑defense machine."

"Only at 25 minutes did QG catch the enemy's recall timing and finally push down that accursed middle first tower."

"No way; if we have to blame something, it's that this patch's Pioneer is too trash."

"At this moment, Xu Dongmen greatly missed the Rift Herald that could be summoned to slam into towers."

"If not for being constantly held back by this middle tower, SKT would have already been shut out of the jungle."

"The dragon spawns in two minutes; the enemy might come to contest this wave."

"Xu Dongmen gave a prior notice."

"In the next wave, the equipment gap between the two sides is the smallest."

"We mostly have two and a half items, while SKT now has two items."

"No item gap!"

"Xu Dongmen's Leopard Girl is the only one on the field with three items; he built a Void Staff, leading Blank's Blind Monk by one big item."

"Come on, brothers, let's take them down!"

"Da B has long been itching to team‑fight SKT, and up to now in this game neither side has had a full five‑on‑five clash."

"Everyone made a big show, completing vision control one minute before the dragon spawn, bringing the entire lower half of the map under QG's control."

"As Xu Dongmen anticipated, SKT indeed came."

"But they only tried to squeeze in a bit; upon finding they couldn't get in, they directly chose to trade the middle tower."

"It was just a feint!"

"Hold on, hold on, we can't give up the middle tower!"

"Xu Dongmen secured the dragon, while the others fell back to defend mid lane."

Beep beep beep~

"UZI's Holy Spear Baptism cleared the enemy minions from ultra‑long range, barely managing to keep the defensive tower."

"But the next second they realized SKT was rotating to top lane, and the Emperor had already pushed the wave to the second top tower."

"The middle first tower held, but the second top tower was lost."

"SKT is also playing the poke!"

Whoosh~

"Xu Dongmen slew the dragon; the time was 27:40."

"In the later patch, it's already Dragon Soul in hand."

"But in the current patch, four dragons are just a wait; only five dragons have real killing power."

"They won't even come to fight; they can really turtle."

"Emerging from the dragon pit, Xu Dongmen felt an ominous premonition."

"The fifth dragon respawns after six minutes."
