Chapter 250 Fierce Battle
WB was well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their lineup, and at level one, all five of them grouped up and aggressively invaded SKT's lower jungle.
"WB is playing very aggressively! They want to steal Peanut's red buff! SKT noticed this, WoIf's Rakan placed a ward, SKT chose to avoid the fight, and Peanut went to switch jungle areas."
In the first three minutes, the two sides engaged in an extremely fierce physical battle online.
In the top lane, Bin's Aatrox and TheShy's Fiora started trading blows from level one. Aatrox continuously swung his Q skill, Annihilation Blade, while Fiora skillfully used her Q skill, Rift Slash, to exploit openings.
"Those two in the top lane are absolutely inhuman! They took away half of his health at level two! Bin is in phenomenal form today, completely unfazed by TheShy!"
In the bottom lane, Light and Crisp's Luna duo displayed terrifying dominance. Lucian's Piercing Light, combined with Nami's Shockwave, relentlessly pressured Xiao Yan's Kai'Sa and WoIf's Rakan under their tower.
Xiao Yan's eyes were incredibly focused, and he clicked the mouse at an astonishing speed. Despite being suppressed, he still steadily last-hit every minion under the tower using his Q skill, Icathian Rain, and precise auto-attacks.
"Xiao Yan's fundamentals are so solid. Even under Luna's intense suppression, he only fell behind by three in finishing blows!" Miller exclaimed.
At 4 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, the first blood was drawn!
After clearing the upper jungle, SofM's Xin Zhao did not choose to recall. Instead, he used a blind spot to bypass vision and went directly to the top lane's tri-bush.
At this moment, TheShy's Fiora had just used her Q skill to poke Aatrox and was positioned a little too far in.
"SofM is here! Xin Zhao immediately used his E skill, Fearless Charge, to poke her in! The red buff slowed Fiora!"
TheShy reacted extremely quickly, immediately using his W skill, Laurent's Eye, to block Xin Zhao's knock-up and stun him in return.
However, Bin's Aatrox had already activated his W skill, Chains of Inferno, and accurately chained Fiora. He then used Q2 followed by his E skill to dash forward and slam heavily into Fiora.
TheShy used Flash to try to create distance, but Aatrox's second W pulled him back, and Q3 hit the center perfectly!
FirstBlood!
'
Bin's Aatrox secured the first blood for TheShy!
"Beautiful! WB's Ueno teamwork was perfect! Bin got the first blood, which is a huge morale boost for WB!" Wawa shouted.
However, SKT's counterattack came faster than expected.
Just as a kill broke out in the top lane, Faker made a move in the mid lane.
After pushing a wave, Faker's Ekko disappeared into the fog of war. AngeI's Lissandra immediately signaled "Miss" to the bot lane.
"Faker's heading bot lane! Peanut's Lee Sin's also rushing bot lane! SKT's executing a four-man gank on bot lane!"
At this moment, WB's bot lane duo was pressing in front of SKT's tower. Upon seeing the signal, Light and Crisp immediately retreated.
But it was too late.
WoIf's Rakan immediately activated his ultimate, Flash and W, and made a grand entrance, lifting Lucian and Nami with lightning speed!
"WoIf's play was perfect! Peanut's Lee Sin followed up with a ward hop and W, and Sonic Wave hit Lucian! Faker's Ekko emerged from the river bush, and his W skill, Chronobreak, sealed off WB's escape route in the bot lane!"
Xiao Yan's Kai'Sa activated his E skill, Extreme Overload, causing his attack speed to surge. Combined with his teammates' damage, he instantly melted Crisp's Nami.
Light's Lucian used both summoner spells in an attempt to escape, but Faker's Ekko followed up with his Phase Rush E skill and a three-hit auto-attack, securing the kill on Lucian.
"Two for zero! SKT retaliates in the bottom lane! Xiao Yan gets an assist, Faker gets a kill, SKT definitely won this fight!"
The competition has entered a heated phase.
WB capitalized on their early-game lineup advantage, relentlessly seeking opportunities to fight. SofM's Xin Zhao, like a mad dog, constantly invaded Peanut's jungle, and at the 8-minute mark, he coordinated with the bottom lane to secure the first dragon (Fire Dragon).
SKT, on the other hand, displayed incredibly formidable resilience. They avoided direct confrontation, utilizing Faker and TheShy's split-pushing to buy Xiao Yan time to develop.
At 12 minutes, the battle for the Rift Herald broke out.
This was the first major turning point of the match.
WB's five players gathered in the top half of the map, intending to take advantage of Aatrox and Lissandra's power spikes to force a takedown of the Rift Herald.
SKT did not give up, and all five members rushed to the river.
"This team fight is extremely dangerous for SKT. Kai'Sa only has one Stormrazor, so her damage isn't enough. Meanwhile, WB's fighting power is at its maximum!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed nervously.
A team battle is about to break out.
SofM's Xin Zhao used his ultimate, Crescent Guardian, to sweep away the enemy formation and forcefully rush the Vanguard.
Peanut's Lee Sin was looking for an opportunity above the Dragon Pit. Just as the Rift Herald's health was about to drop to zero, Lee Sin's Q skill hit the Rift Herald, sending it flying down with the second part of his Q!
"Punishment! Who got the Vanguard? It's SofM! SofM has secured Punishment!"
But Peanut's goal is not to be a pioneer at all!
In mid-air, Lee Sin used a ward hop and W to get behind Angeli Lissandra, and then used his R skill Dragon Tail to kick Lissandra directly into the SKT crowd!
"Peanut's kick was so cool! AngeI got kicked back!"
However, AngeI's reaction was equally world-class. The instant he was kicked away, he frantically activated his ultimate, Frozen Tomb, freezing himself in place while avoiding SKT's first wave of focused fire. He also used the AOE damage of his ultimate to slow down three SKT members.
"AngeI unleashed his ultimate! Bin's Aatrox entered the fray! He activated his ultimate, like a god descending to earth! Q1 knocked up Rakan, Q2..."
It hit the Lee Sin!
WB's lineup advantage was on full display at this moment. The charge of Aatrox and Xin Zhao caused SKT's formation to crumble instantly.
Light's Lucian unleashed a barrage of attacks from the flanks, his Divine Rapier sweeping out full damage.
"TheShy's Fiora went in to dive Lucian, but was hit by Nami's Exhaust, and the damage was slightly lacking! Fiora is down!"
"Faker's Ekko engaged and severely damaged Xin Zhao, but he himself was hit by Aatrox's Q3 and had no choice but to use his ultimate, Chronobreak, to travel back in time!"
On the battlefield, only Xiao Yan's Kai'Sa and the weakened Luo remained.
"Retreat! We can't fight anymore!" WoIf shouted in the voice chat.
Xiao Yan calmly controlled Kai'Sa, using her E skill to create distance and then using her W skill, Void Seek, to hit the pursuing Xin Zhao. He then used his ultimate, Hunter's Instinct, to fly to Xin Zhao's flank, followed by a basic attack and a Q, securing the kill on Xin Zhao.
However, he was subsequently surrounded by Aatrox and Lucian and died.
"One for four! WB won this Rift Herald team fight! And they got the Rift Herald! WB really made a killing this time!" Wawa shouted excitedly.
Miller sighed: "SKT barely managed to capitalize on this. WB's lineup is too strong at this point, especially Bin's Aatrox, who already has two kills. TheShy is going to have a tough time in the top lane."
For the next ten minutes, the match completely fell into WB's rhythm.
They used the Rift Herald to take down SKT's mid-lane turret, and then continued to plunder jungle resources, securing the second and third dragons.
The economic gap has widened to 4000 yuan.
SKT fans watched with bated breath, while the entire arena echoed with cheers from WB fans.
"SKT is in a very passive position right now; they can only turt and defend. But the good news is that Xiao Yan's last-hitting hasn't fallen behind. He has already built Stormrazor and Guinsoo's Rageblade and is currently building his third item, Runaan's Hurricane," Guan Zeyuan said, looking at the item panel.
At 24 minutes, the fourth dragon spawned; it was an earth dragon.
If WB gets it, their speed in pushing towers and taking Baron will become extremely terrifying.
"SKT has to take this dragon; if they give it up, WB can force Baron Nashor directly."
The two sides engaged in a protracted tug-of-war near Xiaolongkeng.
WB controlled the vision advantage in the river, with SofM's Xin Zhao at the forefront, putting immense pressure on SKT.
"We can't delay any longer. I'll find an opportunity to open it," WoIf said in a deep voice over the phone.
Just as WB pressed forward, trying to clear SKT's control ward, WoIf made a move!
Rakan activates his ultimate, flashes and uses W, targeting Lucian and Lissandra in the backline!
But this time, WB was prepared.
Crisp's Nami immediately countered with her ultimate, Raging Tides, interrupting Rakan's entry and knocking him into the air.
AngeI's Lissandra immediately followed up with her W skill, Frost Ring, immobilizing Rakan in place.
"WoIf is CC'd! WB focuses fire and kills Rakan! SKT's engage fails, their support gets killed first!"
Without their support, SKT had no choice but to retreat, allowing WB to take the dragon.
"WB has taken down the Earth Dragon! And they didn't stop there, they turned around and headed straight for the Baron pit! WB is going to force Baron!"
The hearts of the entire audience were in their throats.
25 minutes later, WB's five players gathered at the Dragon Pit and began to attack the dragon.
The remaining four members of SKT rushed to the top of the dragon pit, but their vision was completely dark.
"Baron's health is dropping rapidly! Only 5,000 left! 4,000! What will SKT do? Jungler Peanut doesn't have Flash right now, making it difficult to contest!"
At this critical moment, Faker stepped up.
"I'll go in, you guys find your spots."
Faker's Ekko placed a W skill, Time Warp, above the Dragon Pit, then immediately used his E skill to jump off the wall and charged alone into WB's five-man formation!
"Faker's gone down! Is he trying to steal the dragon? No! His target is people!"
The moment Ekko landed, the force field of his W skill took effect, miraculously stunning WB's jungler and support!
Faker countered with a Q skill, Time Warp, hitting three people and triggering three hits. Then, the moment his health was almost depleted, he activated Zhonya's Hourglass!
"Ding!"
The golden statue gleamed in the dragon pit, attracting all of WB's firepower.
"Faker has stalled for too much time! TheShy's Fiora has teleported around from the flank! SKT needs to engage in this team fight!"
Bin's Aatrox immediately activated his ultimate, turning to face TheShy. The two heavy-armored warriors engaged in a fierce battle in the river.
On the front lines, the dragon still has 2,000 health points left!
"Big Dragon! Whose Big Dragon?!"
Peanut's Lee Sin warded under the dragon pit and landed Smite!
At the same time, SofM's Xin Zhao also used Smite!
"The blue team has killed Baron Nashor!"
A system notification sounded – it was SofM! WB had secured Baron Nashor!
"WB secured Baron! But the team fight isn't over yet! Faker's Zhonya's Hourglass ended, and he used his ultimate, Time Rift, to travel back in time, not only fully restoring his health but also dealing massive AoE damage that severely damaged Xin Zhao and Nami!"
Just then, a purple figure darted into the battlefield like a ghost.
It's Xiao Yan's Kai'Sa!
While everyone was focused on Baron Nashor and Faker, Xiao Yan was constantly searching for the perfect moment to enter the fray.
His current equipment consists of Stormrazor, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Runaan's Hurricane, and a pair of attack speed boots, bringing his combat power to its peak.
"Xiao Yan has entered the fray! His ultimate, Hunter's Instinct, flew straight to Lucian's face! The isolated Lucian was completely overwhelmed by his Q skill, Icathian Rain!"
Light's Lucian reacted extremely quickly, using his E skill to create distance and then firing two shots in return.
But Xiao Yan's skills had reached a level of perfection. He used his E skill's invisibility and speed boost to not only dodge Lucian's Q skill, but also perfectly evade Lissandra's fatal Q.
Basic attack, basic attack, Guinsoo's Rageblade passive fully stacked!
Purple plasma exploded on Lucian's body.
"Kaisa's damage is too high! Lucian is down! Light has been solo-killed by Xiao Yan!"
After killing the enemy AD carry, Xiao Yan didn't pause at all. He turned around and aimed his gun at the low-health Zhao Xin and Nami.
Hurricane's passive ability turns Kai'Sa's basic attacks into a rain of arrows.
"Double Kill!"
"Triple Kill!"
In just three seconds, Xiao Yan delivered a triple kill inside the dragon pit!
"My God! Xiao Yan! It's Xiao Yan again! He stepped up in the face of death! I can't understand the damage Kaisa is dealing!" Miller shouted hoarsely.
On the other side, TheShy's Fiora was killed by Bin's Aatrox, but he also severely damaged Aatrox.
Faker's Ekko, in coordination with Xiao Yan, easily finished off the low-health Aatrox and Lissandra.
"Aced!"
Destroy the group!
"Zero for five! No, it's one for five! SKT pulled off a miraculous team wipe despite being down a player! Although WB secured Baron, all five of them were killed, so the Baron buff was essentially free!" Guan Zeyuan was so excited that his face turned red.
The entire arena erupted. SKT fans waved team flags wildly and chanted the names of Xiao Yan and Faker.
In this team fight, Faker's perfect positioning and Xiao Yan's ultimate finishing blow showed the world what a true dual-carry strategy looks like!
The game ended 28 minutes in, and the situation was reversed in an instant.
SKT capitalized on this team wipe to push down WB's mid-lane inhibitor tower, instantly erasing the gold deficit.
After WB's members were resurrected, their faces turned extremely pale.
They know their peak has passed. Now, facing Kai'Sa with three and a half items and fully-equipped Fiora and Ekko, their lineup already seems somewhat weak.
"Stay calm, we still have a chance. Seize the opportunity to place an order." Maokai clenched his fist nervously backstage.
The Elder Dragon spawned at 32 minutes.
This is the final battle that will determine the outcome of the entire match.
Both sides engaged in an extremely cautious battle for vision near the ancient dragon pit. Neither dared to engage the dragon first, nor did either dare to easily reveal any weakness.
"In this team fight, WB must unleash all their control and damage on Xiao Yan. If Kai'Sa gets airborne, WB simply won't be able to withstand it," Wawa analyzed.
WB's formation was very tight, with Bin's Aatrox at the front and Angeli's Lissandra holding onto her ultimate, just waiting for Kai'Sa to enter the fray.
On SKT's side, TheShy's Fiora was pushing the bottom lane, putting pressure on WB's minion wave.
"TheShy is split pushing! SKT is going for a 4-1 split push! WB is in a tough spot. If they gank Fiora, they'll lose the Elder Dragon; if they don't, their bot lane inhibitor will be pushed down!"
Bin gritted his teeth: "I'll go defend against Fiora, you guys keep an eye on the front."
The Sword Demon recalls to base to defend the bottom lane.
The main battleground has become a four-on-four situation.
The moment Aatrox peeked out, SKT made their move!
