: Kid Goes Berserk, Rookie Feels Helpless

Sixteen minutes into the game, the match reached a stalemate.

Although Faker was far ahead in development, Cassiopeia was weak in the mid-game, and the newly reworked LeBlanc had extremely strong wave clear ability, so they steadily defended the mid tower.

In Season 7, without Tower Plates, Dragon Souls, or Elder Dragons...

As long as the mid tower doesn't fall, even if all the dragons are conceded, the losing side still has the option to stall until the Baron Nashor spawns and then go all in for a miraculous team fight to win.

"This crappy version, even with such a huge advantage, we still have to drag it out."

Thinking of the exhilarating experience of the S15 Velociraptor version, Lin Xiu couldn't help but purse his lips.

"It feels like this game has already entered garbage time."

Looking at the scoreboard showing a 3,000-point economic difference between the two sides, Guan Zeyuan made a bold judgment.

"Although LeBlanc was able to defend the mid tower and hold off Cassiopeia, Kha'Zix's jungle was completely overrun."

"The economic gap will only widen. Once Baron Nashor spawns, EDG will set up vision control and secure Baron Nashor to end the game."

I remember pausing for a moment before offering a few words of sympathy for IG:

"I think that despite the disastrous start, IG did their best."

"Although they have a significant economic advantage now, IG's lineup, including champions like Maokai, Ashe, and LeBlanc, are all heroes that make for exciting team fights."

"It's possible for Ashe to hit a carry with a single Enchanted Crystal Sword, for Maokai to bind five enemies with his ultimate, or for LeBlanc to instantly kill a carry without vision."

"Moreover, team fights and laning are completely different, and these two rookies from EDG may still lack experience in closing out games."

"I think IG can pull off a miracle team fight after Baron Nashor spawns, at least making the game suspenseful again."

The chat in the official live stream was also divided into two camps.

[With a 3,000 gold lead at sixteen minutes, if I went up and played any hero on the right side, I could win.]

The economic lead is all thanks to Nidalee and Cassiopeia, two newcomers, so it's hard to say what will happen.

If Clearlove were the jungler now, this game would definitely be a sure win.

[Don't try to bait me out; by now, Nidalee's damage has probably exceeded 4396.]

[Kid is such a noob, even if Clearlove were in his place, he'd still be a nightmare!]

[4396! 4396! 4396!]

【you*****************!】

Just when everyone thought the game would remain deadlocked until Baron Nashor spawned,

Kid moved; he couldn't take it anymore!

He opened the scoreboard and saw that the enemy Nidalee was already level 11, while he was only barely level 9.

Lin Xiu not only invaded his jungle, but also set traps everywhere at the entrances to his jungle, making him now have to be on tenterhooks when entering his own jungle.

Yesterday he was laughing out loud as he watched Ai Luoli get bombarded with comments from Mlxg.

I never expected it would happen to me today.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he felt that Lin Xiu was rubbing against his dignity.

Just then, an opportunity arose in the middle lane.

Faker's Cassiopeia had just forced LeBlanc back to base, and Faker himself had less than half his health left, but he didn't leave. Instead, he pushed another wave of minions.

Kid hid in the bushes below the mid lane and spoke through gritted teeth in the voice chat.

"If you think this can't go on, then I'll go up and give it a try."

Rookie sensed something was wrong and immediately said:

"Actually, this isn't so bad. How about we stall until Baron Nashor spawns?"

Just then, after the Cassiopeia finished clearing the minions and turned around, the moment she left her own minion wave, the Mantis mark immediately appeared on her body.

Isolated and helpless!

Kid had such a frustrating game, he couldn't take it anymore if he didn't do something about it.

"Kid, don't go! You'll disappear!"

Rookie shouted urgently from the fountain.

But Kid didn't listen at all. He immediately activated his ultimate skill and became invisible, rushing straight at the snake woman like a black shadow!

"They've taken the bait."

Faker's lips curled into a slight smile.

He may seem to have no mana, but with the Archangel by his side, he can actually unleash quite a few skills.

The moment the mantis landed, the snake woman twisted backward and moved closer to the enemy ranks, instantly dispelling the isolation effect.

Then, he used Poisonous Mist to cover Kha'Zix's feet, hit him with his Q skill, and used the increased movement speed to keep pulling Kha'Zix away.

"I can't walk anymore!"

Kid was horrified to discover that, after Cassiopeia's stacked slow effects hit him with his EQ combo, although she only had a sliver of health left, he could no longer touch her.

"hiss--!"

The mantis's health bar instantly dropped to zero.

At the same time, Lin Xiu took the Rift Herald and headed straight for the mid lane.

"Damn it, Kid has really messed up the game."

Guan Zeyuan spoke rapidly, "This isn't just a matter of one head. With Kid dead, LeBlanc can't defend this tower by herself."

The live stream chat exploded instantly.

[Has Kid gone berserk?]

[Kid: I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing.]

[666666, thank you Kid, now I've finally made a killing!]

Lin Xiu and Faker, along with the Rift Herald and Meiko who came from the bottom lane, directly destroyed the mid-lane tower.

With the mid tower falling and their jungle being completely overrun, IG's vision disadvantage was instantly magnified.

"Take the dragon, farm the jungle, and clear out their entire jungle."

Lin Xiu calmly issued the order.

Over the next three minutes, Kid began to bear the consequences of his recklessness.

After breaking free from the mid tower's control, Lin Xiu and Faker disappeared from IG's sight.

Sometimes it appears in the bottom lane, sometimes in the top lane.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that Kid is finding it increasingly difficult to find jungle monsters in his own jungle.

"How are we supposed to play this? This is unplayable!"

"I have nowhere to go, what's the difference between this and just leaving the game running?"

Kid clutched his hair in anguish, his mental state completely broken.

The despair of having one's economy snowball, one's vision stifled, and one's social class widened is more agonizing than being completely wiped out in one fell swoop.

With the fall of the two outer towers and the second tower in the middle lane, the economic gap was further widened.

"After 18 minutes, the economic lead has reached 8,000, this is really garbage time now."

Guan Zeyuan has begun preparing his concluding remarks:

"This is the most EDG-like, but also the least EDG-like way. You could say he's playing a macro game, but he definitely outmaneuvered IG. They only had a six-kill lead, yet they had such a huge economic advantage."

"But EDG has never operated like this before. They crushed IG all the way, and IG didn't dare to defend their jungle or fight for resources. They just gave them all away."

"I haven't seen such an exciting EDG match in the past two years."

Remember to nod gently and say:

"But Zeyuan, tell me, in this game where we've built this advantage, have the other three members of EDG really contributed anything?"

"These two rookies completely destroyed IG. They got a solo kill in the mid lane, farmed the jungle like crazy, and then took down the first tower, which affected the entire game. All the highlights were in the mid and jungle."

"So I think it's not that EDG isn't EDG anymore, but that these two new players aren't EDG at all."

The two commentators chatted back and forth, and the focus was no longer on the fact that the outcome of the match was already decided.

The game proceeded as expected.

Soon, EDG easily secured Baron Nashor and, with minions on all three lanes, destroyed IG's Nexus.
