Chapter 65: Congratulations to IG for coming back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat TES 2-1.
In total, less than a minute has passed since 369's last death.
"The Forge reinforcements also successfully drove back the vampires."
Faced with this small melee, even Guan Zeyuan was rendered somewhat incoherent by the commentary.
"Knight has a red rage charge; he seems to want to continue the pursuit."
"Vladimir flashes and uses his empowered Q, LokeN lands a precise Q, and Baolan's Lux is still caught."
Although this small skirmish was intense, it ended with only one kill for every one kill.
"Fortunately, the vampire arrived early. When 369 walked towards the tower, Knight already knew he was in danger and rushed to the battlefield on foot."
After reviewing the details of the incident, he continued, "Although IG's top laner successfully ganked Irelia, they also suffered casualties during the retreat."
IG fans were not happy to hear this.
What does it mean to have successfully trained the Irelia?
It was clearly 369 who was showing off, using E and then Q to try and 1v2, but ended up embarrassing himself and getting killed instead.
How come it's become IG going to military training on purpose here?
However, IG is currently in a very favorable situation, so they have no intention of criticizing them.
Otherwise, everyone who knows, knows...
The game lasted 15 minutes and 04 seconds.
Ning successfully ganked Knight, who was playing Yuumi, by placing a ward near TES's blue buff.
The moment Ning initiated with his E skill, Yuumi simultaneously applied Weakness to him. Knowing his life was in danger, Ning chose to retreat.
Although Forge followed up to provide support, Knight ultimately finished off Ning.
Of course, as a price, Ben was given a free bonus, and he and Knight both ended up dying.
IG's mid, bot, and jungle players were consistently performing well, forcing TES to shift their resources and focus on TheShy, who was farming in the bot lane.
In the bush to the left of IG's bottom lane tower, 369 and Xx had placed control wards under their feet, quietly lying in ambush, waiting for TheShy to come forward.
TheShy calmly followed the minion wave forward, thinking about how to enter the next team fight.
Just as he was about to step into the bushes.
Almost simultaneously, Xx's Gragas E collided with TheShy's Kennen, followed by a Q and ultimate combo that blasted Kennen away.
369's Irelia followed up with a Q and unleashed her ultimate, the burst damage from both of them landing on TheShy.
TheShy didn't even have time to press Flash before his health dropped rapidly.
From TheShy's attempt to enter the bush to his instant kill by Xx and 369, the entire process took less than three seconds.
For professional players, three seconds is enough time to react.
The problem is that both the E and R skills of the barrel have control effects.
"The moment TheShy stepped into that patch of grass, it meant he was gone."
I remember glancing at the map and saying, "Ning and Baolan's positions have been covered."
"Moreover, when Xx landed a Blast Cone, he ran right into Ning. Xx is very fragile right now and couldn't withstand Ning's damage at all. After three hits, he was already low on health. Fortunately, Xx flashed to create distance and then used his E skill to successfully dodge Baolan Lux's ultimate and survived."
Xx has run away, but what about 369?
Seeing that he was surrounded by the IG players, 369 could only try to buy time and head towards the IG fountain.
JackeyLove ultimately claimed the kill.
LNG base.
Zhu Kai and Zuo Wu sat in front of the computer again to watch the IG match.
"All of TES's economic resources were consumed by ZuoShou alone. The worst part is that he consumed so many resources but did nothing."
Zhu Kai is now more anxious than a white crescent moon.
"To be honest, 369's equipment is too poor; he simply lacks teamfight ability. Right now, all TES can do is drag the game out as long as possible."
Zuo Wu shook his head.
Ning's Kindred is so well-developed that no one on TES can withstand Kindred's damage.
"I don't understand what White Crescent is thinking. Left mid laner has such a deep champion pool, yet they insist on giving him such a late-game Vladimir."
This is probably a point that many LPL team coaches can't understand.
Knight is known for his laning ability, so picking Vladimir would be a waste of his talent.
"Moreover, I feel that IG's drafting has improved a lot since Chen Song temporarily stepped in to draft last time. We must observe them carefully, because we might meet them in the playoffs."
Back to the game.
With Ning securing the third dragon, the two sides entered another stalemate.
For TES, the game would obviously be played as long as possible, but IG clearly wouldn't give TES that chance.
The game lasted 20 minutes and 34 seconds.
IG started a 4-1 split push, with Forge in the top lane and the others staying in the mid lane to pressure the outer turret.
Baolan landed a Q on Knight who was defending the tower, and all of IG's damage was focused on Knight, instantly reducing his health to only about 500 points.
At the same time, Knight activated Sprint and unleashed his ultimate ability at JackeyLove, his intention clearly being to counterattack.
However, doing so at this point was clearly too impulsive, and he was killed by JackeyLove under the tower.
Both sides continued to skirmish in the mid lane, with TES taking a tough stance and determined to defend the mid tower to the death.
IG was equally unwilling to retreat and was determined to take the outer tower.
Finally, Forge made a huge flanking maneuver in TES's jungle, first stealing Gragas' ultimate, then using that ultimate to knock up LokeN, followed by a WQ combo to secure LokeN's kill, and then pushing down TES's mid-lane tower.
After doing all this, the five members of IG turned around together and marched in a grand procession toward the Dragon Pit.
With Xx alive, TES certainly wouldn't want to give up this Baron Nashor to IG so easily.
However, without vision of the Dragon Pit, they could only slowly try to gain vision, and the players couldn't get too close while doing so.
Otherwise, if TheShy's Kennen were to unleash his ultimate ability, Thunderstrike, they would either be dead or severely wounded.
A double AD composition has a significant advantage when taking down Baron Nashor: it deals a lot of damage and can finish it off very quickly.
The TES players were well aware of this, so they desperately looked for opportunities to quickly squeeze into the Baron pit.
TheShy seized the opportunity during this squeeze, unleashing his ultimate to instantly kill the lone Ben.
Ben was instantly killed, and Xx and 369's vision was also exposed.
The IG players decisively withdrew from the Baron pit, prioritizing killing enemies before taking Baron.
JackeyLove unleashed his ultimate move, and the rest of IG chased after them, eliminating 369 and Xx one by one.
After killing the enemy, the IG team was low on health, but with the help of the two water dragons on their bodies, they returned to the Baron pit to prepare to fight Baron.
Knight stood alone outside the dragon pit.
He looked at the dragon with less than 3,000 HP left and the IG players with low health.
Finally, mustering their courage, one person stepped forward and created a miracle.
Rocketbelt charges forward and backward, its ultimate attack hitting Ning and Forge.
Kindred activated her ultimate in despair, and after the second stage of Vladimir's damage ended, the IG team survived the onslaught of Kindred's ultimate.
Instead, Knight fell in the dragon pit.
Knight is dead, Baron Nashor is lost, and it's clear to everyone that TES's defeat is inevitable.
At 26 minutes and 33 seconds into the game, Ning landed his final basic attack, and the TES crystal shattered.
"Congratulations to IG on winning this match. They rallied from a loss in the first game to win the next two."
