Chapter 726
BLG on the Cliff!
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Su Mo did not retreat, because behind him was an even narrower pass in the wilderness.
He clicked the wall next to the swamp frog camp with his mouse.
A basic attack followed by a diagonal forward glide!
Jax's dizziness subsided, but in that instant, Su Mo pressed the number 1 key.
The next second, the active effect of the Mercury Scimitar transformed into a silver light that instantly washed away the stun effect!
Kalista's body stiffened for only a fraction of a second before she used the brief burst of speed provided by Mercury to slide to the side and create a safe distance.
"Mercury Instant Dispel!! Mozi has dodged Jax's deadly stun!!"
Bin missed his first attack, then immediately activated Blade of the Ruined King to slow down Kalista and relentlessly auto-attacked her.
Su Mo didn't engage in a direct confrontation; Kalista moved like a swift darting through a storm. She executed a basic attack, then slid backward; another basic attack, followed by a sideways slide.
Even if Jax has the best equipment, he is just a sitting duck to be kited by a Kalista with 100% critical strike chance and quadruple lifesteal, as long as he can't touch her.
While Su Mo was engaged in a fierce battle with Jax in the jungle, the main battle was already raging fiercely.
Elk's Aphelios drew his red and white swords, and with Sylas's entry, relentlessly tore apart EDG's front line. Achen's Sejuani's health plummeted, and she was about to fall in a pool of blood.
"Chen, come back."
Su Mo's gentle voice rang out in the voice message.
The next second, he pressed the R key [Call of Fate].
Even when relentlessly pursued by Jax, Su Mo still held onto his ultimate ability. The low-health Sejuani instantly transformed into a ghostly green soul, forcibly pulled back into Kalista's body, escaping death!
"Smash him." Su Mo uttered two words softly.
Ah Chen understood immediately and transformed into a soul projectile, slamming it hard into Jax, who had been chasing after him!
"boom!"
Jax was sent flying high into the air!
Taking advantage of this brief moment of weakness, Su Mo unleashed his full power. One spear after another pierced Jax's armor.
Five, eight, twelve!
As Jax activated his E skill [Tear], his once invincible health bar collapsed instantly, and he fell beside the Gromp camp.
"EDG.Mo has killed BLG.Bin!"
"Solo kill!! After a grueling 30-second back-and-forth, Mozi solo-killed Jax who was flanking him in the jungle!!" Miller shouted hoarsely, "His auto-attacks, his fundamentals, even after 50 minutes, his mechanics haven't deteriorated in the slightest!!"
With his worries resolved, Su Mo controlled Kalista to return to the front lines of the battlefield.
At this point, the main battlefield was already in a state of utter carnage.
Xiaoyue's Syndra and Leave's Xayah risked their lives to trade kills with Wukong and Sylas, but both were killed by Aphelios's terrifying damage. Vamp's Riel fell at the edge of the dragon pit.
The game has turned into a complete mess once again!
EDG's Kalista with most of her health remaining and Sejuani with very low health.
BLG has Aphelios with half health and Thresh with full health.
The ancient dragon only had two thousand health points left!
The ultimate showdown lasted forty-seven minutes.
"Keep an eye on the dragon's health, I'll deal damage." Su Mo's voice remained calm and unhurried.
He approached the dragon pit with light, agile steps.
ON's Thresh was firmly stuck in the narrow pass, his hook hovering in the shadows.
With a "crack," the hook shot straight for Kalista!
Su Mo didn't even glance at Thresh. He auto-attacked the Elder Dragon once, then used his passive to make a light leap to the side, his hook grazing the cloak and missing its mark.
He ignored Thresh and instead used all his spears to evenly pierce the ancient dragon and Aphelios, who was standing in the dragon pit.
The hurricane's splitting arrows played a significant role in the narrow dragon pit.
Elk looked at the spears piling up on his body and felt a deep chill creep into his heart.
He switched to his green blade (Azure), intending to use his range advantage to finish off Kalista.
The two engaged in a final shootout at the edge of the dragon pit.
Blood splattered, and the blood-sucking effect caused both of their health bars to fluctuate wildly.
The dragon's health is 1500!
"Chen, get ready," Su Mo said softly.
one thousand!
"Tear!"
Su Mo pressed the E skill without hesitation.
"laugh--"
Dozens of spears that were stuck in the bodies of the ancient dragon and Aphelios were pulled out at the same time!
Accompanied by massive tearing damage, Ah Chen's Smite landed almost simultaneously at the same 0.01 second!
The system notification sounded loudly throughout the sky:
EDG.Mo has slain the Elder Dragon!
EDG.Mo has killed BLG.Elk!
Double kill!! Not only did they secure the kill, but they also took down the ancient dragon that determined life and death in the blink of an eye!
The ancient dragon's mark, symbolizing judgment, instantly surrounded Su Mo and A Chen's feet.
"They took it!!! The Elder Dragon belongs to EDG!! Aphelios is down too!!!" Guan Zeyuan slammed his fist on the table in the commentary booth, "Mozi's Kalista, with a perfect spear pull combined with the jungler's Smite, completely ended this epic 48-minute battle!!"
Thresh, now without his ADC, stood alone in the dragon pit. Two auto-attacks from Kalista, who had the Elder Dragon buff, brought him to the execution threshold. A massive dragon's breath descended from the sky and engulfed him.
"Ace wiped out!!!"
"We won! We won!!" Ah Chen cried out excitedly in the voice chat, then took off his headphones and slammed them hard on the table.
Xiao Yue and Leave were also shouting wildly in the spring, venting all the repression and fear they had felt over the past fifty minutes.
Only Su Mo remained quietly seated in his chair.
He glanced at the game time: 48 minutes and 50 seconds.
"It's not over yet. Let's celebrate after we take down the base," he gently reminded her, a faint smile in his voice.
With the Elder Dragon buff and a large number of super minions that had been stockpiled in the mid lane, Kalista and Sejuani made their way to BLG's high ground without any obstacles.
Demolish the last two tooth towers.
One, two. At the very moment the game time jumped to 49 minutes and 30 seconds, BLG's indestructible blue crystal nexus finally shattered in a dazzling burst of light!
Let's congratulate EDG!!!
The three commentators stood up straight in unison, their voices hoarse and filled with awe after experiencing an epic battle.
"Forty-nine minutes and thirty seconds! This is a peak battle worthy of being recorded in LPL history! Faced with BLG's unparalleled resilience, EDG has shown an even more terrifying foundation!"
“Especially Mozi!” Rita’s eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling. “In the late game, a player who should have been languishing, with his superhuman skills and rock-solid mentality, saved the team time and time again! He showed everyone why he is called the god of this region!”
2 is better than 0!
EDG holds three match points and is just one step away from winning the Spring Split championship.
Su Mo took off his noise-canceling headphones, and the cheers from inside the stadium, loud enough to lift the roof off, instantly flooded his ears.
He rubbed his slightly sore wrists, picked up the black thermos on the table, and unscrewed the lid.
But they found that the goji berry water inside had already been drunk up.
He looked at the empty bottom of the cup, a very faint, gentle smile appearing on his lips.
"We've been playing for so long, the water's all gone."
He stood up, put the thermos into his peripheral bag, and patted Ah Chen on the shoulder, who was still wiping away tears.
"Let's go back to the break room for a drink of water. Let's get ready for the next game and leave work early."
Inside the river-view apartment.
Luo Xin and Xiao Yu hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces.
hope Ran let out a long sigh of relief, slumped onto the sofa, and looked at the tall, gentle-looking man on the screen. Her heart overflowed with love like spring water.
Yu Shuang picked up the tea, which had long since gone cold, and took a sip. Her gentle eyes were filled with pride and peace of mind.
“This guy…” she murmured softly, a charming smile curving her lips, “always so calm and collected, it’s enough to give you a heart attack.”
In the RV far away in Beijing, Lin Xuan, who had just finished filming, held a tablet and watched the figure calmly leaving the stage amidst a shower of gold and cheers. He silently pulled back the progress bar to the scene where he solo killed Jax in the jungle.
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and could almost feel the comforting warmth of his hand.
Meanwhile, in the backstage corridor of the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the BLG players walked silently.
Bin kept his head down, his mind replaying the image of him being kited to death like a dog in the jungle by the skater.
That feeling wasn't the anger of being outmatched, but a profound sense of powerlessness, like looking up to a towering mountain.
He knew that in this lifetime, he might never be able to cross that mountain called Su Mo.
The backstage lounge corridor was filled with a sweltering atmosphere, a mixture of sweat and excitement.
Ah Chen pushed open the door to the lounge and collapsed onto the sofa like a lump of mud, panting heavily. Xiao Yue and Leave were in the same boat; more than fifty minutes of intense training had pushed these young athletes to their physical limits.
Su Mo walked at the back. He walked steadily to the water dispenser, unscrewed the iconic black thermos, poured out the empty water, filled it with hot water, and then took out a small sealed bag from the inner compartment of his peripheral bag, pinched a few bright red goji berries and dropped them in.
"Everyone has worked hard. You played very well to win the second set." Mingkai handed over a few bottles of electrolyte water. Although he was smiling, the fatigue in his eyes was also undeniable. "But there's still one set left. The closer we get to match point, the less we can afford to let our guard down."
Ah Chen took the water and gulped down a large mouthful, his hands still trembling slightly: "Brother Mo, that wave with the dragon just now... I really thought we were going to lose. My mind went completely blank."
Su Mo slowly walked to his single sofa, sat down, blew on the steam from his cup, and took a small sip of water.
"Having the dragon stolen is a matter of probability. In that kind of chaotic fight, it's a 50/50 chance for junglers to fight for Smite." Su Mo's voice was very gentle, without any condescending accusations or arrogant boasting. It was as calm as discussing the dishes for dinner. "You were able to keep your composure during the Elder Dragon fight and use Smite, which is already very good. Close your eyes and rest for a few minutes to lower your heart rate."
Hearing these gentle words of comfort, Ah Chen nodded vigorously, his nerves, which had been tense with self-blame, completely relaxing. In this group, as long as this man was still sitting there calmly drinking water, the sky wouldn't fall.
In stark contrast to the tranquility on EDG's side was BLG's rest room at the other end of the corridor.
A deathly silence enveloped the all-Chinese team.
Xun covered his face with his hands, burying his face deep in his knees. Elk leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. The twenty-minute desperate defense had exhausted all his energy, and his fingers were still twitching uncontrollably.
Coach BigWei sighed and walked to the tactics board: "Everyone, look up. We played well enough in the last game, managing to drag out the economic disadvantage for fifty minutes. You've already proven yourselves. It's only 0-2, we've done it before when we came back from 0-2 down."
Although the coach was trying to boost morale, everyone knew that coming back from a 0-2 deficit in the regular season and coming back from a 0-2 deficit in the finals were two completely different things.
Bin sat in the corner, biting his lower lip hard. In two games, he was treated like a minion by Yone in one game and like a dog by Skate Shoes in the other. His pride had been shattered.
“Coach.” Bin suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes revealing a hint of compromise and determination. “Next game, don’t give me a fighter. I’ll pick Quesant or Sion. I’ll be the support, and let Elk and Knight carry. We’ll focus on team fights.”
BigWei paused for a moment, looking at the top offensive top laner in the LPL who took the initiative to accept the pressure. He felt a mix of emotions, but finally nodded heavily: "Okay, for the third game, let's shift our tactical focus back to the bottom half of the map."
The fifteen-minute break passed in the blink of an eye.
Accompanied by the rousing battle anthem, both teams took to the stage again.
In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Miller, and Rita had already composed themselves.
"Welcome back to the third game of the 2024 LPL Spring Split Finals! EDG currently holds three match points!" Guan Zeyuan raised his voice, "After the epic fifty-minute battle in the last game, I wonder how BLG's players have recovered their physical strength and mentality."
"Yes, for BLG, they're now on the brink of elimination," Miller continued. "The draft has begun! BLG is back on the blue side, and in their first three bans, they abandoned their five-ban-top-lane strategy from the previous game! Kalista, Yone, and Sejuani—that's their answer!"
“A very rational choice,” Rita analyzed. “Since we can’t limit Mo Shen’s hero pool no matter how many bans we make, we might as well reserve the ban slots for the jungler and bot lane to ensure the development space for our two carries.”
On the first floor of BLG, Vi was locked in directly, ensuring a stable group purchase.
EDG secured Maokai and Jayce on the first and second floors. Xiaoyue picked Jayce, a mid-lane champion he was very confident in, to compensate for their poke damage in the early and mid-game.
Subsequently, BLG locked in the classic bot lane combination of Xayah and Rakan on the second and third floors.
EDG's third floor picked Aphelios for Leave.
In the second round of ban/pick, both sides focused on blocking the mid and top lanes.
On the fourth floor of BLG, Bin took a deep breath and locked up Nazuma's Pride - Quesanti.
"Quisanti! Bin has pulled out a pure heavy tank, something he rarely uses in crucial games like the finals!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise. "It seems BLG is determined to go for a mid-to-late game team fight. What will Mozi pick in EDG's fifth pick counter this tank who has almost no natural counters?"
All the cameras focused on Su Mo again.
Against Quesanti, picking a regular fighter can easily lead to getting bogged down in development, while picking a tank makes it difficult to penetrate the enemy's defenses on the sidelines.
Su Mo's eyes were indifferent. He glanced at the hero list and tapped the mouse lightly with his left index finger.
"I crave worthy opponents." (End of Chapter)
