Chapter 285: Chen Yiqiu, the Chosen LPL Nemesis, Defeats EDG Again, Mingkai: I Am No Longer 4396
"Enchantress has two kills now, and it's only been a short time. It feels like she's more powerful in the mid lane than in the top lane. It's outrageous."
"Yeah, it's not that we can't withstand the blow, it's mainly because Scout died too many times. I feel that according to the current pace of development of Enchantress, he will die again later..."
The LPL people are naturally unwilling to admit that they are somewhat timid in the face of SKT and Chen Yiqiu.
Instead, they found a reason from the situation of the game.
Hearing this, Abu stammered his lips, but still didn't say anything to refute.
His eyes turned to the big TV that was still "fighting fiercely".
He prayed silently in his heart-Mingkai, please give some strength.
It's one thing to feel that the chances of winning against SKT are not high before the game, but it's another thing to be beaten by SKT.
Didn't you see that RNG, who was defeated by SKT yesterday, took a sharp turn for the worse in domestic public opinion?
EDG doesn't want to follow in their footsteps.
...
Mingkai and Tianye also don't want to follow in their footsteps.
"We have to find an opportunity to fight back."
Tian Ye gave advice in the bottom lane: "We can't let SKT lead us by the nose. Facts have proved that it will be difficult for us to fight when their rhythm is smooth."
"Let's wait until level 6. The damage in the middle lane is not enough now. It is safer to wait until level 6."
Ming Kai expressed a different opinion.
Their lineup for this game was originally biased towards the mid-to-late stage, so now is not their focus.
In a disadvantageous situation, it is the teammates who are anxious. They just need to drag it out.
But if they don't take the initiative to look for opportunities now, EDG is destined to continue to be passively beaten during this period before Taliyah reaches level 6.
There are disputes about tactics, but EDG is still EDG after all, and they finally chose Ming Kai's decision.
So, the audience around the world will see EDG retreating step by step and avoiding battle with SKT.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Li Xianghe, who was originally playing snake in the top lane, felt much more comfortable because Ming Kai almost never came to trouble him.
The jungler Xiaohuasheng burst out with his strong ability to drive the rhythm. He was busy with three lanes and the jungle area.
"EDG... have to fight. We can't just keep on passively defending. It feels like all our teams are too easy to fall into the opponent's rhythm when facing SKT."
In the outside world, seeing EDG decisively give up the little dragon, Guan Zeyuan's teeth were a little sour.
The familiar EDG, the familiar EDG that is "stable" in big competitions.
But from a God's perspective, EDG's current tactical performance is more like they admit defeat before the opponent has even started to exert force.
The people outside the field don't care that EDG can't beat SKT now, they only believe what they see with their own eyes.
"... Overall, I think EDG's thinking is fine, but the main problem is that SKT's attack should have exceeded their expectations, and now they have to fight back... Let's see, Scout was beaten home again, Reaper's Ahri is too good."
Remember to look at the big screen.
The game time is just over ten minutes, Chen Yiqiu once again consumed Taliyah to a low health, and Scout had to go home.
In fact, Taliyah had already reached level 6 a few minutes ago, but after reaching level 6, EDG discovered a problem - in front of Leblanc, who has strong roaming ability and has already gained a huge advantage, can Taliyah's support really work?
Plus the cooperation of SKT's other lines.
When Taliyah just reached level 6, EDG wanted to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, targeting Faker, who was not so proficient in Gnar and was almost slacking off in the top lane of this game.
Unfortunately, although Li Xianghe was slacking off, Gnar is a hero with strong escape ability, and Chen Yiqiu's TP persuasion, EDG did not succeed in the end.
"I said a long time ago that we have to look for opportunities first, and we have always tried to be steady in the previous S games. What happened? Have you ever broken through the quarterfinals?"
In the EDG team voice.
Meiko's mentality was a bit explosive after this wave.
Although he did not directly blame Mingkai, the meaning of his words was already very clear.
The factory manager was silent after hearing this.
At this moment, he couldn't help but doubt. Could it be that the steady principle he had always followed and the style of play with the highest error tolerance rate really didn't work in international competitions?
He thought of the tragic end of EDG in previous S games, which was reflected in the situation of the game in front of him, and finally integrated into it.
"... My, let's find an opportunity to fight back."
Mingkai felt an inexplicable sense of enlightenment in his heart.
——This year may really be his last year.
He knew his own age and condition best. Since he was taught a lesson by the opponent's Xiaohuasheng with forehand and backhand in S6 last year and won the "honor" of 4396, his spirit was almost broken.
At the beginning of the new season, he did not appear in the audience's sight for a whole spring game. He was not lazy, but testing his condition and nurturing his spirit that had been scattered.
If his condition is not good, if that spirit can never be found, maybe he will announce his retirement in the summer game.
But fortunately, he found the familiar feeling when he debuted. Although he is very old, he has the confidence to fight for another year.
This year's S game was held in China, and the first stop was his hometown Wuhan, so he changed his ID to Clearlove7. The Arabic numeral 7 added at the end represented almost everything, which perfectly interpreted his determination to "die if he fails" this year.
Since the old way doesn't work, it's time to change, so as not to leave the biggest regret in his career.
Mingkai began to actively look for opportunities, take the initiative to start a team fight, and face the former nightmare Peanut.
The game time was 13 minutes. Relying on amazing awareness and experience, Prince finally caught Peanut in the jungle. The mid-top cooperation that had been communicated long ago, and the rock bird with the ultimate move, was faster than the support speed of the enchantress.
Three EDG players killed Peanut, leaving the factory manager to counter-jungle, and the other two returned to the line.
The atmosphere at the scene in Kaohsiung exploded, and the LPL people who were holding their hearts also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mingkai... I feel that the wave just now is not like his previous style."
As an old opponent for many years, Uzi saw at a glance that this was incompatible with the previous Mingkai.
The original Mingkai, let alone actively invading the opponent's jungle, even if the opponent shits in his jungle, he will pinch his nose and say it smells good. The main point is that all the junglers in the world championship can shit on my head.
But in the previous wave, relying on his amazing awareness, he arranged in advance, did not hesitate or entangled at the critical moment, decisively called his teammates, and then successfully arrested Peanut, completing a powerful counterattack against SKT.
This style, if you really want to find it, is a bit like Karsa, the wolf king in the FW team.
The latter is also a herbivorous jungler, but he does not have the suspicion and "stability" of the factory manager. He is known as the only Lei brother in Southeast Asia. His amazing awareness + smooth operation allows FW to enter the S game almost every year.
"Brothers, this scene makes me feel like I saw the factory manager in S3."
The IG kid smacked his lips, and suddenly felt that Mingkai at this moment was very familiar.
"I hope EDG can maintain this state. Maybe there is still a chance this time..."
Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the situation on the field suddenly changed.
After EDG's top, mid and jungle completed the counterattack against SKT, Mingkai and his mid and top came to the river together. Because they needed to clear the jungle, the factory manager was going to continue to enter the jungle and separate from his teammates temporarily.
At this time, Chen Yiqiu, who was half a beat late in support, suddenly got out.
QE chain took the lead and hit the half-blood prince to trigger stun, then used a flat attack and stepped over diagonally with W.
Without stopping, the ultimate skill copied W and stepped on it twice before returning to the original position.
Whoosh.
The EDG mid and top who had not left yet all lost their skills. Chen Yiqiu was not in a hurry. He chased the prince who was already at a low health and used a flat attack again, then turned around and left.
[SKT Reaper killed EDG Clearlove7! ]
[Killing Spree! ]
Killing a lot!
"Oh! Ah! Ah! This wave came alone and killed the prince!"
"What a smooth burst!"
"... Ah this."
The kill prompt sounded, and the commentators and spectators of major regions around the world were all confused.
What happened?
They originally thought that this wave was over, but they didn't expect Chen Yiqiu to not give up. In the end, he came out and killed the prince in front of the three EDG players.
In this way, the two sides exchanged one for one... It seems that SKT didn't lose much.
"No... This Ah Ji is a bit outrageous, how can he be so brave."
Guan Zeyuan didn't understand it at all: "Isn't he afraid of making a mistake in this wave, being retained by EDG, and then giving away another head?"
"As for Reaper... I don't think he should think so much."
Jide pondered and said awkwardly: "Everyone is familiar with this player. He is the type who licks blood on the tip of a knife and walks on a tightrope."
"In this case... EDG is a bit at a disadvantage. Can this Ah Ji be retained?"
The LPL people pinned their hopes on the EDG mid and top who were still chasing Ah Ji on the field.
But it is obvious that since Chen Yiqiu dared to come out this time, he was sure to get out smoothly.
And at this moment, Li Xianghe on the top lane also made a move. If they continue to chase and wait for the CD of the enchantress to turn over and re-enter the burst period, then at this stage, the developing enchantress is really unbeatable for EDG's mid and top.
"Retreat, retreat."
"Ah... Chen Yiqiu!"
"So annoying, so annoying."
Tian Ye commanded remotely, and Scout and A Guang were a little broken.
They had obviously played well in this wave. It would be great if this enchantress didn't come to steal people...
But there are no ifs in the game.
This wave of rhythm is completely over, and the final result is acceptable to both sides, but the enchantress on the SKT side has completely taken off at this moment. In the subsequent team battles, it will bring the greatest threat to all EDG C positions.
"Is there any way to deal with this enchantress? If she is alive, it will be too threatening to our back row."
After Mingkai changed his mind, he has been trying to change his habits. For example, at this moment, after he resurrected, he immediately set his sights on Chen Yiqiu's enchantress.
But unfortunately, the hero LeBron is famous for her flexibility, and SKT now has an overall advantage. After looking for several opportunities, EDG helplessly found that there was no point to exert force.
It lasted until 17 minutes. SKT had already won the second dragon of the game. EDG's economy was already about six to seven thousand behind SKT.
"Now we are very afraid of the Enchantress in team battles. If we don't deal with this Enchantress, we won't dare to fight SKT head-on."
In the LPL commentary box, several commentators looked at the situation on the field.
When they were fighting for Xiaolong just now, EDG had already decided to have a tough fight with SKT, but Chen Yiqiu's Enchantress only poked a few times on the edge, and EDG's few crispy skins became pregnant instantly.
The terrifying instant burst of damage put EDG in a dangerous state before they even started playing in a group.
This is also the scary thing about Enchantress. Once you meet a player who knows how to play and develops well, she will be really crispy.
"But if we don't fight now... SKT will definitely force the Baron team when the Baron refreshes... If we continue to be so passive, our winning rate in this game will still be very slim."
Remember to whisper: "Reaper is a big worry for everyone right now."
"...It's time to do some vision."
Everyone looked.
The 20th minute was coming, and both SKT and EDG began to set up their vision near the Dalong Pit.
But now EDG obviously can't compete with SKT, so they only tried briefly once. After finding that SKT was too strong, EDG decisively chose to give up.
This also caused a burst of boos from the audience.
"The dragon will push hard later, and the game should be over."
When Li Sang Hyuk saw this scene, his tone became much more relaxed.
"Well, we also need to pay attention to the cooperation between the prince and Dashu. Pei Junzhi and you... they opened it."
Chen Yiqiu was just halfway through his words when he saw EDG, which seemed to have given up just now, suddenly turned around 180 degrees, and the factory director's prince took the lead in flashing EQ.
This was one of his few operational performances. Unexpectedly, the three SKT players were picked off by the prince.
Before that, Aguang's big tree had already released its ultimate move.
The team battle officially begins.
But SKT's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations at EDG.
Chen Yiqiu didn't even look at the three teammates who were trapped. Enchantress single-handedly locked EDG's double C in the crowd.
QW stepped forward in the opposite direction, and the E skill was thrown out diagonally.
With a click, Scout's rock bird was hit by a piece of Enchantress's chain.
Chen Yiqiu R copied the second E and threw it almost parallel to the other direction.
With a swish, Zet's EZ reaction was obviously half a beat slower than everyone else's, and an E skill hit the Enchantress's second chain.
"I'm super!"
Everyone in LPL yelled foul language off the court.
"Is this enchantress doing acrobatics?!"
At this moment, Chen Yiqiu used Enchantress's two E skills, one on the left and one on the right, to almost perfectly lock EDG's double C on her own.
At this moment, neither Yanque nor EZ moved, and these two people were forcibly controlled!
Two skills, hard control the opponent's double C for 1.5 seconds.
The 1.5 seconds of a critical group can determine the outcome in an instant.
Pei Junzhi, who also avoided EDG's group start, followed up with his big move and shot directly at EZ. While continuing to control the chain, he also began to output wildly at full status.
In conjunction with Enchantress's terrifying explosion, SKT's "double C" knocked out Zet's EZ in an instant.
It was only then that the EDG team's voice recovered from the chaos.
"To kill the enchantress, kill the enchantress first!"
"Bingbing, fight the ice, the ice is here with me!"
"Fuck, it's over!"
Mingkai cursed, and the rest of SKT returned to normal. Lee Sang Hyuk's Gnar AQAE became larger in the air, and with a slap, all four EDG players were slapped against the wall.
At this point, EDG's last desperate counterattack failed.
The follow-up direction is already doomed. Without EZ, EDG is almost without weapons, while SKT has all the players in full condition and full output.
Ten seconds later, all five EDG players were killed, and SKT got the Baron.
The game was finally settled at just over 26 minutes, because the resurrection kept resisting, and EDG lasted a little longer than RNG.
But it only took a little longer.
