Chapter 719
How could they kill someone like that?
"EDG.Mo has killed BLG.Xun!"
"First Blood!"
Meanwhile, Bin's Jayce was also low on health from tanking the tower, and he immediately used Flash to escape from the tower's range.
"A counter-kill!!! Despite being ganked and tower-dived by the top and jungle, Mozi used Yone's incredibly overpowered E skill to not only dodge all the fatal crowd control but also counter-kill the jungler under the tower!!!" Miller held his head, his face full of shock. "This skill, this calculation, is he a machine?!"
Rita laughed proudly on the commentary stage: "Of all people to mess with, why did he have to come to Yue Mo's tower? Now look what happened, Zhao Xin directly gave away both red and blue buffs, and the top lane game is over."
Having secured First Blood and two buffs, Yone completely transformed into a killing machine in lane.
Six minutes later, Yone, who had reached level six, created a gust of wind in the middle of the minion wave.
Bin's Jayce just wanted to go up and finish off a siege minion.
The moment Jess raised his hand, Su Mo moved!
Without any unnecessary movements, Yone dashed forward with Q3, and just as the wind was about to reach Jayce's maximum range, Su Mo used Flash!
Q3 Flash!!
This extremely difficult-to-dodge combo instantly sent Jayce flying into the air!
Immediately following, the ultimate skill, [Sealed Dust Slash], is used!
Yone transformed into a blood-red sword shadow, piercing straight through Jayce's body, forcibly pulling him back, and sending him flying once again!
Basic attack, W, ignite, all done in one smooth motion!
Bin's Jayce didn't even have time to use Flash before Yone completely melted him in mid-air with a combo!
"Solo kill!!! Mozi used an incredibly smooth Q3 flash into his ultimate to solo kill Bin!! That damage is terrifying! A full-health Jayce instantly evaporated!!"
After securing the solo kill, the game time reached six minutes and fifteen seconds. Su Mo calmly pushed the minion wave completely to BLG's top lane tower, then pressed recall from a safe position.
At this moment, with the generous bounty from First Blood and a solo kill, plus perfect last-hitting gold, he directly retrieved a Noon Quiver and a pair of attack speed boots from the fountain. In the early game, this is an equipment lead that can make any opposing hero feel hopeless.
In the commentary booth, Rita looked at the equipment difference on the panel, her red lips slightly raised, and she made no attempt to hide the admiration in her tone: "Brother Mozi went back to base this time and immediately pulled out the Noon Quiver and attack speed boots. Yone's Q skill cooldown will be greatly reduced. Bin's Jayce now needs a lot of courage to even look at the minion wave."
In the lounge, watching Su Mo's composed figure on the screen, hope Ran cupped her face in her hands, her eyes shining brightly. Meanwhile, in the apartment by the Huangpu River, Yu Shuang handed sliced apples to Xiao Yu and Luo Xin, who were excitedly shouting beside her. Her gentle gaze remained fixed on the cold, aloof ID on the screen, a reassuring smile on her lips.
The game time progressed smoothly to eight minutes, and the first Rift Herald spawned precisely on time.
After respawning, Xun's Xin Zhao realized that the top half of the map had become a no-go zone. He abandoned the idea of helping Jayce clear the lane and instead focused his attention on the mid and bottom lanes. However, BLG did not want to give up the first Rift Herald, a strategic resource, easily.
"Push the mid lane, let's go check it out, can Jayce make the first move?" Xun commanded in the voice chat.
Knight, controlling Ahri, used her Q skill to quickly clear the mid-lane minion wave and head towards the Baron pit.
However, Su Mo moved faster than anyone else.
Using his overwhelming advantage in equipment and level, he firmly controlled the minion wave in front of the red team's top tower, forcing Bin's Jayce to use Teleport to return to lane. Immediately afterward, right in front of Jayce, Su Mo used a smooth QW combo to quickly clear the minion wave and then turned and disappeared into the river.
"Mozi has moved! He's taking lane control and heading straight to the jungle!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in the commentary. "Achen's Sejuani has already secured vision around the Rift Herald pit. Should BLG continue this push?"
Xun's Xin Zhao had just reached the river pass when he ran into Yone, who was wielding two swords. Xun was completely unreasonable; upon seeing Yone, he immediately activated his E skill, Soul Breaker, leaving his physical body in the bushes while his spirit form instantly closed the distance, followed by his Q skill, a forward thrust.
Faced with a Yone who was far superior in equipment, Xun dared not retaliate and could only use his W skill to slow down the enemy before hastily retreating. Seeing this, Knight's Ahri could only helplessly retreat back to the mid lane as well.
At 8 minutes and 30 seconds, EDG secured the first Rift Herald without firing a shot. Su Mo picked up the Herald's Eye and returned to the top lane.
With the top half of the map completely lost, BLG's coaching staff frowned on the sidelines. Xun, as a top jungler, immediately made the right decision to cut losses—change the rhythm.
At nine minutes and forty seconds into the game, Xun finished clearing his bottom half of the jungle and, taking advantage of the moment when the EDG bottom lane duo disappeared from vision, quietly moved into the bottom lane bush.
"I'm in! Watch my position!"
BLG's support ON controlled the Titan and decisively flashed to hook, accurately hitting EDG's ADC Varus!
Xun's Xin Zhao followed closely, using his E skill [Fearless Charge] to dive in. Although EDG's support, Lena, used her ultimate [Helpless Acquisition] in time to try and stop him, BLG's three players, with their damage fully charged, still managed to tower dive and kill Varus. The belated Chen only had time to use Sejuani's ultimate to hold off the over-tanked Nautilus, resulting in a one-for-one trade.
At 10 minutes and 10 seconds, BLG took control of the first dragon (Infernal Dragon), barely stabilizing the situation on the field.
"BLG made a very decisive decision. Since they couldn't win in the top lane, they shifted all their resources to Elk's Zephyr." Miller rationally analyzed the situation on the field. "The current economic difference between the two sides is mainly concentrated on Mozi. As long as the game drags on to the late game, Zephyr's ability to take over the game cannot be ignored."
But Su Mo clearly didn't intend to give BLG the chance to drag the game into the late stages.
At 11 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, Su Mo returned to town and immediately synthesized the Mythic equipment—Sea Monster Killer.
Yone had reached level eleven, while Bin's Jayce was only a pitiful level nine, carrying only a serrated dagger and a longsword.
Back online, Su Mo revealed his true, sharp fangs.
Facing Jayce, who was cowering under the turret, Su Mo didn't need the minion wave to reach the turret. He stood at the edge of the turret's attack range and used the minions to build up two stacks of his Q skill.
"call--"
A sudden gust of wind arose, and Su Mo pressed his E skill. In the instant his soul left his body, Q3, carrying a fierce sword wind, passed directly through Jayce's body and knocked him into the air! Immediately afterwards, he used a basic attack followed by W to generate a shield, withstanding a laser attack from the turret, and then elegantly pressed the second part of E to return to his original position.
This combo, which dealt no damage, took away a third of Jayce's health. The overwhelming pressure on the screen caused fine beads of sweat to appear on Bin's forehead.
At 12 minutes and 45 seconds, Su Mo pushed the minion wave into the enemy tower and summoned the Rift Herald without hesitation.
With a charge from the vanguard, BLG's precarious top lane turret collapsed. The bounty from the first turret, combined with the solo kill of all the turret plates, caused Su Mo's economy to snowball to an absurd level.
"With the top lane tower down, Bin is completely freed, but it's a liberation that's been broken through!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.
Fourteen minutes later, the turret's plating disappeared.
EDG demonstrated impeccable tactical execution. After Su Mo returned to base to replenish his supplies, he immediately switched lanes with his equipment advantage to split push in the bottom lane, leaving the mid lane safe for the duo, thus completely opening up the macro-level operation of the map.
Knowing they couldn't handle the monstrous Yone on the sidelines, BLG could only concentrate their forces and focus on the upcoming second dragon (Hextech Dragon). At 15 minutes and 30 seconds, both sides began setting up vision near the dragon pit river, and the atmosphere became tense.
Xun's Xin Zhao and ON's Nautilus were in front clearing the true sight wards, while Knight's Ahri was on the flanks looking for an angle to charm.
Just then, Ah Chen's Sejuani moved slightly forward while setting up vision.
Knight reacted swiftly, using his ultimate [Spirit Strike] to dash forward and his E skill [Charm] to precisely hit Chen!
"We've got it! Knight has charmed Sejuani! BLG needs to focus fire and take down the front line first!" Miller shouted.
A team fight erupted instantly. All five BLG players rushed in, and various skill effects exploded in the river. Sejuani's health plummeted, and EDG's formation was forced to pull back.
Just when everyone thought EDG was about to collapse in this team fight.
The director suddenly cut to a blind spot in the river bushes below the lane.
Su Mo's Yone had quietly circled around to the flank and rear of BLG's formation at some point!
Instead of rushing in, he used his basic attack twice on a Canyon Crab in the river, building up a layer of wind.
"Brother Mozi has circled around! He's got the wind! But he's a bit far away!"
Just as the narrator finished speaking.
Su Mo pressed his E skill, and the instant his soul left his body, he unleashed his Q3 attack!
But he charged not towards the BLG crowd, but towards a thick wall!
"flash!"
Midway through Q3's sprint, Su Mo decisively used Flash.
Q3 Dodges over the wall!!!
This long-range, unpredictable movement allowed Yone to appear like a god descending from the heavens, instantly appearing in front of BLG's backline carries! The whirlwind directly knocked Elk's Zephyr and ON's Nautilus high into the air!
But this was only the beginning of despair.
During the fractions of a second that the two were suspended in the air.
Su Mo pressed the R key—[Sealed Dust Severing Thoughts Slash]!
A blood-red sword shadow ripped through the sky, and Yone's body became an unstoppable afterimage, forcefully piercing through Zephyr and Titan, and even Ahri, who wanted to turn back to help, was also forcibly pulled together and knocked away a second time!
"Three of them!!! My God!! What kind of divine intervention is this!!!"
The three commentators on the platform stood up simultaneously, and Rita's excited voice pierced through the microphone: "That damage was explosive!!"
With a full set of Siren Slayer gear and Infinity Edge components, Yone danced wildly with his dual swords amidst the crowd. Every basic attack carried deadly true damage and critical strikes.
Just two seconds.
"Double Kill!"
Elk and ON didn't even have time to use Flash before they were instantly melted!
Knight's Ahri desperately escaped the attack range using the second dash of her ultimate, only to be precisely taken down by Syndra who arrived from the flank with a Scatter Spell.
Without their backline, Xin Zhao and Jayce could only fall in despair in the dragon pit under the siege of EDG's players.
"Ace wiped out!"
At sixteen minutes, EDG not only executed a perfect 5-0 exchange, but also secured the second dragon.
The suspense of the first game of this final was completely killed at this moment.
As the system notification sound echoed throughout the Mercedes-Benz Arena, Su Mo calmly pressed the B key. Yone, carrying his blood-dripping twin swords, transformed into a streak of light and returned to the fountain in the grass of the Dragon Pit.
At this point, his economy on the panel was outrageously impressive. First blood, solo kill, first tower kill, plus a perfect flanking maneuver that secured a triple kill and a bounty. Opening the shop, Su Mo didn't hesitate to buy an Infinity Blade and a nimble cloak.
In the commentary booth, Rita looked at the equipment bar that popped up at the bottom of the big screen, her red lips slightly parted, her tone full of praise and pride: "Sixteen and a half minutes, with Kraken Slayer and Infinity Edge, combined with Cloak of Agility, Yone's critical strike rate has reached 100%! Mozi's equipment upgrade during this recall has directly pulled the game into his late game ahead of time. If Bin's Jayce dares to appear in Yone's vision now, he probably won't even have a chance to escape."
In the lounge, hope Ran cupped her face in her hands, staring intently at the cool and composed figure on the screen, her eyes shining brightly, her heart pounding uncontrollably. Meanwhile, in a riverside apartment on the Huangpu River, Luo Xin excitedly hugged Xiao Yu, bouncing her around on the sofa: "So handsome! Mo Ge's timing for entering was like he had X-ray vision!"
Yu Shuang sat beside them, carefully handing the sliced apples to the two excited girls. Her eyes, brimming with autumn water, gazed gently at the screen, a reassuring and proud smile playing on her lips: "Eat slowly, don't choke. We never have to worry about his matches."
The game time has reached seventeen minutes.
Having gained a decisive advantage, EDG displayed impeccable snowballing strategy. SuMo proactively switched lanes to split push in the bottom lane, leaving the relatively safe mid lane to Leave's Varus and Vamp's Lena, while AChen's Sejuani steadfastly controlled vision in the bottom jungle.
This is a standard 1-4 split push formation.
Su Mo led a large wave of minions to push towards BLG's bottom lane second tower.
Defending him was Bin's Jayce. However, facing a Yone with overwhelming equipment and exuding a deadly aura, Bin felt his palms sweating as he gripped the mouse. He controlled Jayce, hiding far behind the second turret, not even daring to switch to cannon form to fire a powerful shot for poke damage—because if he dared to move forward even slightly, Yone's Q3 plus E skill could instantly dive the turret and kill him.
Su Mo completely ignored Jayce under the turret. He stood outside the turret, cleared the minion wave with two sword strikes, and then turned around and plunged into BLG's lower jungle.
Raiding jungle resources is the most ruthless way to expand an advantage by split pushing the side lanes. Su Mo ransacked BLG's Gromp and Wolves as if he were strolling through his own backyard.
The game lasted 18 minutes and 20 seconds.
Xun's Xin Zhao had just respawned and, seeing the bottom half of the map being plundered, could only desperately head to the top half of the map to try and take the newly spawned red buff in order to barely maintain his development.
He played very cautiously, first using a true sight ward to clear the vision in the red buff bush, and only daring to make a move after confirming it was safe.
However, just as the Red Buff's health dropped to the penalty threshold... (End of Chapter)
