Chapter 53: Eight Picks In One Second, Crushing Gt!
Li Fan went top lane to target Jayce in this wave, which actually gave Mid Lane Syndra a chance to breathe and successfully pushed the Minion Wave to EDG Mid Lane Tower 1.
But compared to Lucian’s development, it has no meaning at all. The gap between both sides is simply too large, to the point that they still haven’t reached level 6 yet.
However, by now, as long as Rengar reaches level 6 and comes to gank mid, there is still some opportunity.
This is also the motivation for republie to keep persisting in this match.
After all, Rengar poses a huge threat to squishies. Lucian’s damage is high, but as a squishy himself, if he gets caught, it will give an opportunity too.
8 minutes 37 seconds.
Wushuang, upon reaching level 6, heads straight to mid lane.
Preparing to cooperate with Syndra to kill Lucian. At this moment, everyone in EDG’s backstage lounge is extremely nervous.
The best thing to do now is to not go out, not take the bait, control yourself and not try to solo kill Syndra, so the enemy has no opportunity.
But… Li Fan seems to have his mind full of thoughts on how to solo kill the enemy. It’s obviously a trap!
It’s over!
Seeing Lucian slide step forward, it feels like everything is lost. Clearlove’s Excavator is now in the bottom half of the map, and mid lane only has Lucian alone.
No matter if the bounty is taken by Syndra or by Rengar, the situation won’t be so optimistic.
Rengar activates his Ultimate Skill and operations directly, pouncing toward Lucian.
Lasso hits the chicken!
This idea is not wrong. As long as Lucian is controlled, Syndra follows up with control, and with their combined damage, they can burst Lucian down.
But Li Fan’s reaction is amazing!
After grinding games for so long to get Freedom Attribute Points, isn’t it just for this moment?
Flash! Dodged Rengar’s lasso strike, and countered with WR!
While lighting up Rengar, his own movement speed surges… Relying on the speed boost, he not only pulled away the distance from Rengar’s subsequent Q skill pounce, but also used a small reposition to dodge Syndra’s push ball.
No way around it, Li Fan’s Flash really wasn’t used randomly. Besides dodging Rengar’s lasso strike, the second reason is to avoid being locked on by Syndra’s Ultimate Skill. If locked on by the Ultimate Skill and then hit by the push ball, he would definitely be controlled.
Although he doesn’t think the enemy would think of this operation, he must avoid everything that could possibly happen.
republie, due to distance issues, can only QE combo…
But at this distance, Li Fan can easily dodge with positioning.
All control skills are gone, and Syndra and Rengar have no means to restrict Li Fan anymore.
Even though Manamune hasn’t upgraded to Manamune yet, the Ultimate Skill’s damage is still extremely terrifying.
Not to mention Rengar ate full bullets to deal damage.
This feels even better than shooting Syndra, mainly because Syndra is thinner, while Rengar is burly and solid.
This combo crippled Rengar, followed by a Q skill and an Auto Attack to easily secure Rengar’s kill.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
At the time, no one thought Li Fan could operation his way out.
The venue erupted with successive “holy shit” exclamations!
But the next scene hasn’t ended yet. Lucian turns his gun and slide steps forward, using the red buff gained from Rengar to stick to Syndra.
Where would republie dare to hesitate at all? He hurriedly Flashes toward the Turret to run.
Seeing Lucian give up the chase, he couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved… Good thing the Flash was forced out early earlier, and it’s off cooldown now, otherwise this kill would be given up too.
Getting double killed in a 2v1 would be extremely embarrassing.
Even though he’s already too ashamed to show his face now.
“Clear thinking. When Rengar came to gank him, his skill usage was calm and unhurried, as if everything was within his calculations,” Miller praised. “And his skill usage is extremely fluid… Doesn’t seem like someone who doesn’t train every day at all?”
Just from this ten-minute performance, it’s truly completely different from the rumored Unreal.
In GT’s backstage lounge, Li Jiongjun looks at the data on hand which only has one ranked game, and slams it heavily on the table! Then slumps in the Gaming Chair.
EDG is too insidious… With this strength, how could he not be training?
They just openly wanted everyone to relax their vigilance.
But that doesn’t make sense either! What garbage team is their GT? If they want to trick someone, they should trick WE instead!
11 minutes 37 seconds, GT Mid Lane Tower 1 is pushed down.
Li Fan and Clearlove link up mid-jungle to gank bot lane in a 4v2. GT’s bot lane duo gets the info and abandons the tower to run.
This leads to EDG taking both Bot Lane Tower 1 and the dragon.
The economic gap between both sides has widened to four thousand!
And Li Fan alone is leading by two thousand.
No way around it, Syndra collapsed too thoroughly. Getting solo killed at level 1 under the Turret, couldn’t even farm many minions, indeed couldn’t develop.
But this is still caused by his own problem.
Fifteen minutes, Top Lane Tower 1 falls.
By this point, the situation is already very clear. EDG has a huge advantage, and in voice chat, everyone is communicating more.
But Li Fan doesn’t dare to be careless at all.
This is the EDG team…
As economy grows, win rate drops instead, repeatedly creating those ten thousand economy comeback famous scenes.
He doesn’t want to be engraved on the pillar of shame.
So he is even more spirited up to twelve points.
The audience watching the match is increasingly amazed, because they see Lucian holding seven kills, with two and a half items: Manamune, Leeching Leer, B.F. Sword plus a pair of Boots of Speed.
This development has reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Keep in mind it’s not even twenty minutes yet!
If it continues like this, won’t it be a guaranteed three-item set at twenty minutes? Is Unreal this fierce? Or is republie just trash?
But in the next scene, an even more shocking picture appeared.
Lucian alone at Blue Side’s blue buff spot, spots Rengar walking past through the wall.
The next second, he actually W-Flashes forward, lands two Auto Attacks, then E skills back while autoing and Q-AA…
Burst down!
Full health Rengar is directly burst killed.
Wushuang didn’t even react, and found his screen black.
Immediately after, the headphones blare Lucian’s penta kill announcement!
?
What the hell?
Is this an instant burst on me?
What kind of insane damage!
Disadvantage Rengar is full tank build, with a pretty decent body.
But in front of Lucian, he’s as fragile as a watermelon…
The live audience didn’t even see that scene clearly, all staring wide-eyed.
Then hearing Wa Wa on the commentator desk start yelling excitedly.
The director hurriedly prepares the replay footage, slowed to four times speed, and everyone finally sees clearly what happened.
Too exaggerated, too fast, right?
The director’s camera happens to cut to Li Fan, his clean and handsome face seeming fatally attractive at this moment.
20 minutes, EDG moves on Baron Nashor on time.
GT desperately fights back, but in the face of absolute equipment gap, it seems so powerless.
Ace!
GT full team wiped at Baron Nashor pit.
EDG easily takes Baron Nashor, returns to base to regroup, and ends the game in one wave!
A long-awaited big win. The other four sitting in their seats all look at Li Fan with complex expressions!
