Chapter 27: A Close Call, IG Defeats DMO 2-1
Seeing this low-level mistake with his own eyes, Chen Song was really angry.
You said that if our overall strength is inferior to the other side and we can't beat them, then so be it, and he admits it.
But this is just pure recklessness!
As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall. How come these people don't understand this principle at all?
Oh, I'm sorry!
Most League of Legends professional players drop out of school early, a fact he almost forgot.
But that's not a valid reason, is it?
He couldn't believe that the world's education level could be that bad.
Back to the game, 23 minutes and 47 seconds.
IG secured their fourth dragon.
Although DMO traded 4 for 1 and took Baron, IG still had a good advantage in dragons and gold.
However, as the game progresses, this economic lead becomes negligible.
Neither the dragon nor the baron has spawned yet, so both sides will focus on farming and preparing for the next dragon fight, which will be crucial in determining the outcome.
26 minutes 33 seconds.
ChangHong activated his Teleport at the fountain and teleported to a ward next to his team's blue buff to prepare for a flanking maneuver.
At the same time.
"They're here! They're here!"
Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise:
"Before we could finish speaking, Rookie used Zhonya's Hourglass to dodge the Titan's ultimate."
Kennen flashed in with his ultimate and used his Force Staff to engage, but his ultimate was poorly executed.
If the vampire uses R to flash in and then uses E, shouldn't that E skill kill Rookie first?
Rookie survived using Seraph's Embrace, but Kennen had already been eliminated.
And he was relentlessly attacking Sivir.
After Sivir used Flash, Jinx couldn't follow up with much damage.
As Rookie's Ryze activated his ultimate at the blue team's river entrance, the low-health IG players used Ryze's ultimate to retreat back to their own blue buff.
"This was actually ChangHong's flank! And TheShy's reaction was actually a bit over the top."
The intention was to initiate the attack, but in reality, if Sivir doesn't follow up with damage after initiating, Kennen with his current items can't possibly melt the enemy backline single-handedly.
Guan Zeyuan continued analyzing the team fight that had just taken place.
"There's still a long way to go in terms of team fight execution."
Chen Song observed the positioning of the IG players in front of the tower and simultaneously took notes in his notebook.
Team fight: Terrible
[Command: Chaos]
If Chen Song was still confident that IG had a close to 70% chance of winning after the 1-for-4 exchange, then after this exchange, their chances have dropped to 60%.
As the game progresses, the threat posed by the vampires grows stronger.
Given IG's poor team fight performance, DMO has a real chance to win the game.
But contrary to what the commentators said, IG has lost its initiative.
DMO achieved a good result by using Vladimir's TP to flank from behind, but don't forget that TheShy still has TP available.
The dragon has spawned, and Ning is equipped with a resurrection item.
Vladimir's TP timer is still quite long. During this time, IG can establish vision around the Baron pit, send Kennen to split push the bottom lane, and have the rest of IG force a team fight at Baron.
3. The game time has reached 30 minutes.
Just as Chen Song had expected, DMO's Vladimir had to retreat to defend because his TP wasn't ready. They saw TheShy push the minion wave to their high ground.
TheShyTP landed in the Baron pit, and IG players decisively chose to start Baron.
The DMO players grouped together and slowly advanced from the river mouth towards the Dragon Pit.
At this point, the dragon's health was less than half.
The excavator, lacking visibility, stubbornly charged into the dragon pit, intending to gamble on the dragon, but it was too late.
JackeyLove secured the final blow with Baron Nashor, and IG then took down the enemy Rek'Sai who had Guardian Angel.
"Nice!"
In the IG players' lounge, everyone except Chen Song erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"IG used very well-executed minion wave manipulation, coupled with a lead in Teleport, to secure Baron Nashor almost for free by leveraging their skill advantage."
"But DMO's lineup still has the potential to drag this out."
The two commentators simultaneously shared their opinions.
With the Baron buff, IG secured the dragon and pushed down DMO's second mid-lane tower, aiming to advance to the high ground.
32 minutes 15 seconds.
With the Baron buff, IG split the minion waves in the mid and bottom lanes, and easily took down DMO's mid lane inhibitor.
Almost simultaneously, at 32 minutes and 28 seconds, they also destroyed DMO's bottom lane inhibitor turret.
Ning's Jarvan IV's EQ combo, combined with his ultimate, blocked Jinx and Nautilus, forcing them to use Flash, and simultaneously destroyed the bottom lane inhibitor.
Now that the game has progressed this far, Chen Song's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Without Flash, Jinx can easily take down the top lane inhibitor by using the super minions in the mid and bot lanes, and then take down DMO in no time.
He's right to think that way, but the IG players obviously don't think so.
32 minutes and 45 seconds: TheShy used his ultimate R-flash + Rocketbelt to enter the fray and electrocute the enemy, with Nautilus and Rek'Sai falling first.
But unnoticed behind them, Jinx took the kill and ran off.
DMO traded 2 for 3, halting IG's attack.
"Hiss... Huff..."
Chen Song couldn't help but rub his temples.
He couldn't remember the last time he had felt this kind of thrill, even more exciting than a roller coaster.
34 minutes 28 seconds.
The five IG players gathered at the DMO second tower with super minions.
With the Guardian Angel equipped, the Prince found an opportunity to use his EQ combo and ultimate to cover Jinx, who had no Flash. JackeyLove decisively followed up with Flash to deal damage. Even though Nautilus had already used his ultimate on JackeyLove, the skill's aftercast delay meant that JackeyLove only managed to kill Jinx before it landed on him.
With Jinx dead, the suspense of the match was completely eliminated.
IG wiped out DMO with a 0-for-5 team fight.
VICTORY!
"In the end, we still congratulate IG. The third game was a close call. Although they had a big advantage in the mid-game, DMO found an opportunity to catch up in gold. In the end, through lane control, teleporting to the dragon area, and Ning's decisive ultimate, Gala, who had no Flash, had no chance to fight back."
"IG really didn't give the fans any breathing room throughout the entire BO3 series."
"But I'm still very happy. For IG fans, it's great to have won the opening match."
The screen in the lounge began playing post-match interviews.
TheShy was invited to stand on the interview stage, and the interview was hosted by Xiaoyu.
"더쉬옆에있는이분이바로루키의여자친구입니다."
(The woman next to TheShy is Rookie's girlfriend.)
Mafa came over and said with a smile.
It's clear that Mafa was in a good mood after IG won the match.
"루키여자친구?루키가이런타입을좋아하는줄몰랐어요."
(Rookie's girlfriend? I don't think Rookie likes this type.)
Upon closer inspection, Chen Song indeed noticed that Xiao Yu's face was also beaming with joy during the interview with TheShy.
Even the content of the interviews was intentionally or unintentionally infused with a touch of everyday life.
What? TheShy, who taught you Chinese?
Is this issue really that relevant to today's match?
I think so!
