The Strongest Shockwave: From 2-3 Down

The tug-of-war between the two teams ended abruptly, but the tension on the field not only didn't dissipate, but intensified.

In WE's voice chat, Condi is quickly marking several key viewpoints on the map:

"It's really hard to force an engagement with this lineup on the other side; we can only look for another opportunity."

Xiye didn't speak; he just kept switching screens to observe Clockwork's equipment.

At this point, his Lucian already had Blade of the Ruined King, Black Cleaver, and Rapid Firecannon, and was working towards his fourth item, Phantom Dancer.

Clockwork only has Morellonomicon and Zhonya's Hourglass, and it's still short of money for the third item, Mask of Madness.

"We can't let them drag this out any longer," Xiye said in a deep voice.

"Let's keep looking for opportunities!"

For the next five minutes, WE displayed overwhelming dominance.

At 28 minutes, four WE players gathered in the mid lane.

In order to save Clockwork, Lin Xiu's Gragas had no choice but to step forward and use his body to withstand Lucian's Holy Lance Baptism, instantly dropping his health to one-third.

"Go, go, go! Release the tower!" Lin Xiu decisively commanded.

Despite the fall of the second mid-lane tower, WE did not give up.

Condi's Prince went straight into the jungle and easily smite the newly spawned blue buff.

For Orianna, not having a blue buff means she has to calculate the use of each skill more precisely.

Thirty minutes later, a skirmish broke out between the two sides in the lower jungle.

WE's Zyra ambushed Meiko, who was warding, in the bush. With a combo and Jarvan IV's entry, Braum was instantly crippled.

"Fight! Kill them!" Condi roared.

Before dying, Braum used his ultimate (R) to knock up Jarvan IV and Zyra. Varus and Orianna quickly followed up with damage to instantly kill Zyra, then retreated.

However, EDG's retreat was extremely disciplined. Mouse's Titan used his ultimate on Jarvan IV and then used his Q to hook the wall and create distance.

"Another one-for-one trade. WE killed Braum, but EDG also traded kills for Zyra, who was positioned too far forward." Remember shook his head.

"Although we didn't lose any kills, the economic gap has widened to 4,500. WE's jungle-grabbing strategy is making things very difficult for EDG."

Guan Zeyuan looked at the screen: "The economic gap is almost five thousand. At this thirty-minute mark, five thousand is actually a huge sum of money."

"WE's carry is now almost a full item ahead, EDG's margin for error is really too low."

"Logically speaking, EDG's lineup is very strong at initiating team fights, so why are they afraid to engage? Several times WE didn't initiate well and didn't dare to fight back, just stalling for time."

At this moment, the chat in the live stream had already begun to celebrate in advance.

[WE is in the game now, Lucian is unstoppable.]

[Faker was practically invisible this game; he couldn't do anything except clear wave minions.]

This jungler is playing Gragas like a bodyguard, his gold is even lower than the support's.

[3-2! Congratulations to WE for winning the championship!]

However, in EDG's voice chat, Lin Xiu's voice remained frighteningly calm.

"Brother Li, how many three-piece sets do you have left?"

"Almost there." Faker glanced at his gold. "Three hundred more, then I can buy the Mask when I recall. Level, almost sixteen."

"Alright, everyone move towards the Ancient Dragon Pit. We absolutely cannot let the Ancient Dragon escape. This is the final battle."

Lin Xiu tapped three signals on the map in quick succession.

"Meiko, don't worry about anything else, just use your ultimate on the carry, whether it's Ashe or Lucian. Nautilus and Orianna can follow up."

"good!"

At 32 minutes, the Elder Dragon is about to spawn, and all ten players from both sides gather in the mid lane.

At this point, WE, with their huge economic advantage and continuous successful tower pushes, adopted a very aggressive positioning.

"WE pushed this wave in the mid lane and are trying to secure a position in the river!" Remember shouted the commentator.

"The lane's cleared, WE's grouped up and headed towards the river, huh? Is EDG going to engage?"

Just as the WE players were walking together down into the river, Braum suddenly initiated a team fight from within EDG's formation, which had been retreating.

"It's open! It's open! It's open!!" Meiko roared.

Braum used his ultimate flash without warning!

Xiye, who was preparing to retreat, was knocked into the air before he could even use Flash.

Not only Lucian, but also Ashe and Condi's prince were grazed to the edge by the sudden glacial crevice, their figures frozen in place.

"I got it! I got Lucian!!" Ji De's voice cracked instantly.

Without any hesitation, Faker hung the Magic Ball in the shadows beneath Lucian's feet the instant Braum initiated his attack.

Command: Shockwave!

"boom!"

The level 16 ultimate skill, combined with the three-piece set, deals explosive damage instantly.

Xiye's Lucian, who originally had three-quarters of his health, was instantly reduced to a sliver of health after being hit by Orianna's RE combo. He then used Flash and Slide to escape.

Those without the Flash ability could only retreat on foot.

"This is going to be a bombshell, WE!"

Faker didn't stop, using Flash and Q to take down Ashe who was trying to escape.

The barrel moved as well, and an exploding barrel precisely killed the fleeing Lucian with low health, directly taking Lucian's huge bounty of a thousand gold.

WE's formation has completely collapsed.

Condi's Prince used W to slow down his teammates and then used EQ to escape over the wall. Although 957's Galio still had his ultimate, he didn't use it to save his teammates; instead, it became his only means of escaping.

Galio used his ultimate to lock onto Jarvan IV, who then retreated in panic.

Zyra was powerless to turn the tide and was finished off by EDG.

"WE has collapsed! They've taken Zyra's life, and both of their carries are dead!" I remember shouting until my voice was hoarse.

"EDG secured the Elder Dragon! They're going to take Baron!! A double dragon buff!!"

The stadium was engulfed in a frenzy of cheers.

The initial economic deficit of 5,000 was instantly reversed by 2,000 by EDG after this team fight, thanks to the high bounty and the buff from the two dragons.

Thirty-four minutes.

With the purple dragon soul and the golden ancient dragon buff, EDG's five players pressed straight towards WE's high ground from the top and mid lanes.

WE's voice chat was in complete chaos, with everyone shouting for defense, but everyone's actions were somewhat distorted.

"Brother Li, follow me!" Lin Xiu's wine barrel was frantically twisting and turning under the tower.

Just as WE's Lucian was about to clear the minions, EDG initiated another team fight.

E Flash!

After Gragas used his E, he flashed across the minion wave and held off Lucian under the tower.

Command: Shockwave!

Orianna's magic orb bloomed once again at Lucian's feet.

This time, Lucian wasn't given a chance to escape with a sliver of health; RW instantly killed him.

With the double dragon buff, Orianna's combo even broke through the shield, and Lucian fell at the edge of his own fountain for the second time.

"It's over! It's really over!" Remember shouted, "A comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2! A miracle is about to happen!"

After Lucian fell, WE struggled to clear minion waves and could only continue pushing the inhibitor turrets.

But at this moment, Titan used his ultimate to lock onto Ashe, and WE continued to lose points, completely losing their wave clear damage.

EDG ignored the tower attacks, taking down the inhibitor towers one by one, and then started attacking the crystal.

With a final roar, the crystal shattered.

Three to two.
