After taking down Tai Lung, SKT's remaining four players were in good condition. The middle lane was in good shape, and they did not bother to turn back. Instead, they led the middle lane straight to the high ground.
Lava's Demon Salamander could not clear Tai Lung's minions at all. It did not even dare to use its W skill to clear the minions.
After breaking through the high ground, SKT's four players went back to upgrade their equipment, and then made a comeback.
SKT's five players gathered together and forcefully cleared the middle lane's crystal. HLE did not dare to defend and gave up the middle lane crystal.
Taking advantage of the minions, SKT once again gathered together and forcefully cleared the bottom lane's high ground. Demon Salamander tried to attack, but EZ's secret shot took out more than a quarter of its HP, and it quickly retreated.
The short-handed Kalista did not dare to clear the minions, and could only watch as SKT flattened the bottom lane.
In order to delay SKT's advance, Sword Magician cleared the top lane's minions in advance. However, SKT did not intend to push the top lane, and instead led the bottom lane's minions to attack the front tower.
This time, HLE could not hold back anymore. If they held back any longer, they would have given up.
Incubus immediately used a strong flying EZ. Sword Magician and Demon Salamander followed up, wanting to kill EZ. However, Demon Salamander's skill was blocked by Bronn's shield. Instead, it was Kalista who was behind him who was cut down by Li Ge and Ke Lie.
Incubus was also hammered by Bronn's big move. EZ and Blind Monk melted Incubus in an instant.
Li Xu was too lazy to care about Demon Salamander, and immediately attacked the ground. Whoever hit him was unlucky. The remaining three could not do anything. He could win even with his eyes closed.
Li Ge, of course, would not be as lazy as Li Xu. He immediately killed Demon Salamander, and the remaining Tauren and Sword Magician were beaten to death one after another.
SKT's team was wiped out, and the match ended in one go.
The first match lasted only 27 minutes, and SKT obtained a crushing victory.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Congratulations to SKT for defeating HLE so easily in the first match. In this match, no one from HLE was able to retaliate at all. Let's see how they will adjust."
Park Ji-hwan: "SKT is only a small match away from taking the top spot for the first time this season. If they can defeat HLE with a score of 2: 0, they will be able to take the top spot."
In the second match, HLE immediately snatched the difficult Ke Lie from the third floor. Although it was an unpopular choice, this hero had been used by T Emperor before. Li Xu brought out Kenji to fight Ke Lie in the end, and SKT got a 4: 1 formation.
In the second match, SKT won easily as well. With Clid helping Li Xu to gain the upper hand early on, Li Xu's Kenji was able to break through T Emperor's top lane.
Li Xu's Kenji was the same as Ke Lie in the first match. Both were points that HLE could not handle.
However, the difference was that Kenji was unable to initiate a team fight like Ke Lie, which meant that Li Xu was unable to deliver kills like Ke Lie. Thus, at the end of the match, Li Xu's Kenji's stats were very good, and he did not die once.
Following the explosion of HLE's base, SKT claimed a 2: 0 victory in the final match before the Chinese New Year.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Congratulations to SKT for taking the top spot for the first time this season with a small point advantage. This is also the first time in two seasons that they have reached the top of the rankings."
Park Ji-hwan: "SKT's current form has intimidated all of their opponents. Now, SKT fans have reason to look forward to the club's next championship trophy."
After taking off his headphones, Li Xu took the lead as the top laner and shook hands with the HLE players. Then, they turned around and started to pack up their keyboards and mice.
Li Xu lowered his head and took out his mouse. In the field, the cameraman was standing in front of the computer with a camera facing Li Xu. Li Xu squatted down to tie his loose shoelaces.
The cameraman was obviously an honest man. He stuck out his butt and stretched his body to aim the camera at the squatting Li Xu.
However, when Li Xu got up, his head bumped into the camera.
"Ouch! Who did this? "
Li Xu clutched his forehead and furrowed his brows, looking for the culprit. He happened to see the camera in front of him. Li Xu's brows instantly smoothed out, and his lips curled into a smile. He gave the camera a thumbs up.
"Xu Ge is so cute. Hahaha, he's smiling evilly."
"Li Xu: Which idiot bumped into me? Come out! I'm going to beat the sh * t out of him, hm? I'm on TV, I'm going to keep smiling. 2333. "
"That face change, squeezing out a smile in an instant, so real."
"Xu Ge is so handsome, even his face change is so cool."

In the two rounds of the competition, the MVP of the first round was Li Ge's Akali, and the MVP of the second round was Li Xu's Kenji.
Li Xu and Li Ge stood beside Kim Minna and prepared to be interviewed. Li Xu immediately saw Lin Yuqing at the front and winked at Lin Yuqing.
Li Xu suddenly thought of something and quickly became serious. He looked straight at the camera with a serious expression.
The two of them obediently greeted the audience.
Kim Minna: "Contestant Faker, Chinese New Year is in two days, but the attendance rate for today's competition is still very high. SKT's tickets are always sold out very easily, and it seems like most of the reason is because of you?"
Li Ge nodded, as confident as ever. "Mm."
Li Xu silently ridiculed him. This Guapi doesn't know how to be humble at all, and doesn't know how to speak at all. He should at least put on a show.
Kim Minna: "Contestant Faker, you don't get as many MVP awards this season as before. What do you think is the reason for that?"
"To be honest, I feel like I've missed out on a lot of MVP awards. It's a pity that I won so little this season."
Li Ge paused, then turned to look sharply at Li Xu. "I feel like my MVP award has been stolen by him."
Mm? Li Xu was stunned. Motherf * cker, did I offend you? Why are you blaming me for not getting the MVP award?
Kim Minna laughed. "Contestant Li Xu, contestant Faker thinks that you stole his MVP award. What do you have to say?"
Li Xu had a selfless look on his face. "If I can keep winning, then I'll give him the MVP award."
Look! What do you mean by noble character and unquestionable integrity! Compared to this Guapi, I'm much better at talking.
"The big boss is suppressing the newbies! Xu Ge feels wronged, 2333. "
"Li Ge's eyes are full of murderous intent. He's showing the demeanor of a big boss."
"An arm can't win against a leg! Li Xu has no choice but to compromise, hahaha. "
"Xu Ge knows when to back down, he's a real man!"
"Li Xu: Today, I'll bow down to this guy with the surname Li. One day, I'll let the whole world know that there's another Li in SKT, and that's me, Li Xu. 2333."

Kim Minna turned to look at Li Xu. "Contestant Li Xu, in the first round of the competition, you brought out a new hero, Kele. Even though you didn't get the MVP award in the first round, your Kele's performance was outstanding. We all know that this hero is not popular, how can you play Kele well?"
Li Xu thought for a while and gave the best answer. "Don't be a coward, just do it."
