Chapter 248 Holding Match Point
Faker's Ryze, along with Xiao Yan's Vayne and WoIf's Alistar, descended upon the battlefield!
"SKT's support has arrived! Faker's ultimate was perfectly timed, cutting off WB's escape route!"
The Alistar landed and immediately used his WQ combo to knock Urgot and Lissandra into the air simultaneously. Ryze then unleashed a barrage of spells, the explosive AoE damage instantly tearing apart WB's formation.
Xiao Yan's Vayne, on the other hand, was like the Grim Reaper, beginning her final harvest.
Activate ultimate skill, use Q skill to become invisible, then perform a basic attack.
With Guinsoo's Rageblade's passive fully stacked, Vayne's attack speed reached a terrifying limit. Silver bolts rained down on the WB team members like a storm.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
The sound of the three rings being triggered has become the most despairing death knell in Summoner's Rift.
Kaisa falls.
Ice Maiden falls.
Leona falls.
The nightmare falls.
"QuadraKill!"
When the system announced the quadra kill again, the entire stadium erupted in wild cheers.
Only Bin's Urgot remained, dragging his wounded body, desperately fleeing towards the fountain.
"Pentakill! Give him a pentakill!" Peanut shouted in the voice chat. Lee Sin used his W to ward-hop and kicked Urgot back in front of Vayne.
Xiao Yan didn't hold back. He launched a basic attack, followed by a Q skill roll, and finally fired a crossbow bolt with true damage, which accurately pierced Urgot's chest.
"Penta Kill!"
"Pentakill! Xiao Yan got a pentakill!" Miller roared hoarsely, his voice even drowning out the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators. "On the stage of the S8 World Championship quarterfinals, Xiao Yan, with his signature champion Vayne, has achieved the first pentakill of this World Championship! This is the ultimate moment for the Night Hunter!"
Guan Zeyuan was equally excited: "It was so amazing! In this team fight, TheShy's Stopwatch counterattack, Faker's perfect maneuvering, and Xiao Yan's ruthless cleanup—SKT showed us what true teamwork is! WB's five-man gank not only failed, but also resulted in a team wipe!"
This team wipe completely signaled the end of the match.
At 24 minutes into the game, SKT pushed down WB's bottom lane inhibitor and then took down the newly spawned Baron.
With the minion wave strengthened by the Baron buff, SKT began their final push.
The WB team members stood in the fountain, looking at the unstoppable blue team on the screen, their eyes filled with helplessness.
"We can't hold on any longer." SofM sighed and put down the mouse.
Bin remained silent. His Urgot was completely crushed by TheShy's Camille in this game, and the deep sense of powerlessness made him feel suffocated.
Angel and Light exchanged a glance, both seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes. Their once-proud early-game rush strategy proved utterly vulnerable in the face of SKT's perfect macro play and individual skill.
At 27 minutes into the game, SKT, with super minions on all three lanes, surged onto WB's high ground.
WB attempted a final stand, but the vast disparity in equipment rendered all their efforts futile.
WoIf's Alistar initiated the team fight with a Flash-WQ combo, knocking up three opponents. TheShy's Camille, like a god descending to earth, shattered WB's last line of defense with a single kick. Faker's Ryze and Xiao Yan's Vayne unleashed a barrage of attacks from the backline, instantly melting everyone on WB.
Another team wipe, zero for five.
"It's over! Congratulations to SKT!" Wawa announced loudly. "After losing the first game, SKT rallied to win the next two, securing a crushing victory in the second match! They have proven to the world that the champions are invincible!"
Miller continued, "SKT held an absolute advantage from the draft phase. They perfectly countered WB's dive composition with Alistar and Ryze, and then took over the game in the late game with Camille and Vayne. Especially Xiao Yan's Vayne, that pentakill will definitely become a classic moment in League of Legends history!"
Guan Zeyuan adjusted his glasses and summarized, "WB's loss in this match wasn't unjustified. Their tactical intentions were too obvious, and SKT completely saw through them. Furthermore, in terms of individual ability, TheShy and Xiao Yan's performance today was simply monstrous. If WB..."
If they can't find a way to cope in the upcoming matches, then their S8 journey may be over.
On the big screen, WB's base crystal shattered under the combined fire of SKT's five players, turning into countless blue fragments.
The time was frozen at 29 minutes and 30 seconds.
"Victory!"
The word "Victory" appeared on the screen of the five SKT players.
Xiao Yan took off his headphones and let out a long sigh of relief. He turned his head, looked at his teammates beside him, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
"Well done, brothers."
Faker patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, his eyes gleaming with admiration: "Your Vayne is still as sharp as ever."
TheShy calmly took a sip of water, as if he wasn't the Camille who had just been weaving in and out of the crowd.
Peanut and WoIf excitedly high-fived in celebration.
Inside the stadium, SKT fans erupted in deafening cheers. They waved their support signs and chanted the names of SKT and Xiao Yan.
"SKT! SKT! SKT!"
"XiaoYan! XiaoYan! XiaoYan!"
The cheers, like a tsunami, swept through the entire venue, announcing the powerful return of this legendary team.
On the other side of the stage, the WB team members silently packed up their equipment, their backs looking somewhat forlorn. They knew that the upcoming third game would be their toughest test yet. If they couldn't unleash even greater power in this desperate situation, they would have to say goodbye to this stage forever.
The short break has begun again.
In the commentary booth, the three commentators were still savoring the exciting match that had just taken place.
"To be honest, I still haven't recovered from Xiao Yan's pentakill," Wawa exclaimed. "That feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife was so thrilling."
"Yes, Vayne seems to have a soul in Xiao Yan's hands," Miller nodded in agreement. "However, we can't ignore TheShy's Camille. His dominance in the top lane is key to SKT's ability to snowball."
"WB will definitely make adjustments in the third game," Guan Zeyuan analyzed. "They can't let SKT get such a comfortable lineup again. I think they might target TheShy and Xiao Yan in the draft, or try some new tactical systems."
"In any case, the upcoming matches will definitely be even more exciting," Wawa said expectantly. "Let's take a short break and come back shortly to bring you the third game of the 2018 S8 World Championship quarterfinals between SKT and WB!"
On the big screen, the MVP of the second game was displayed.
Unsurprisingly, the MVP award went to Xiao Yan's Vayne.
The perfect KDA of 11/0/4 and the damage share of 45% on the data panel were deeply imprinted in the minds of every viewer.
