Since Little Pao had died, and Little Witch and Blind Monk had died first, SKT did not gain much from this group battle. However, if they lost this group battle, they would definitely lose Tai Lung.
However, in this seemingly unprofitable situation, SKT made an unexpected decision.
Li Xu's Savage Blood Swordfiend appeared at the bottom lane and sent the creeps to the bottom of Red's second tower. Then, he started his return journey in front of Griffin.
After returning, Li Xu immediately TPed to Tai Lung's crater. Burong had eliminated all of Red's vision at Tai Lung's crater. Without Red's knowledge, the two of them started fighting Tai Lung.
Even with the Dual Earthen Dragons, the two of them fought very slowly. However, Blind Monk and Little Witch were the first to die, so they had revived and rushed over.
Griffin obviously did not realize SKT's plan. The revived Incubus immediately rushed to the bottom lane to guard the creeps.
Teddy's Little Pao had also revived and teleported to Tai Lung's crater. SKT's five players attacked Tai Lung furiously. When Shen carefully moved over to guard his vision, SKT had successfully stolen Tai Lung's dragon at the thirty minute mark.
Remember: "SKT's rush on Tai Lung was very smart. Burong eliminated Griffin's vision at Tai Lung's crater. This is a normal strategy for a group battle. At the same time, Sword Magician circled below to lower the opponent's guard. Then, he suddenly TPed the dragon. The opponent would never have expected this."
Attitude: "The moment Incubus revived, he went to guard the bottom lane. This meant that the dragon was destined to be SKT's."
Eleven: "SKT mainly took advantage of the respawn time difference. They relied on their Dual Earthen Dragons to steal the dragon. With Little Pao's TPing, even if the opponent could react in time, it would be too late."
With Tai Lung's buff, SKT chose to split up and push. Li Xu and his teammates huddled together to cover Tai Lung's advance. Li Ge's Little Witch led the way at the flank.
After all, if Nightmare Lord Jia Shen chose to forcefully grab the flanks, Sword Demon would not be able to do anything about it. However, Enchantress was different. Enchantress was very difficult to catch after she had been purified.
Zooey was too powerless against Tai Lung's Super Soldier. Kesha's hands were too short and she didn't dare to go up and fight the long-range soldier. She would lose her ability to fight after being touched by the four-piece Little Cannon.
Without much resistance, SKT had eliminated all of Griffin's outer turrets. Taking advantage of the last minute of Tai Lung's time, SKT continued to dawdle in front of the middle turret.
Teddy's Little Cannon did not dare to simply go up and attack the tower. It would be very dangerous if he was taunted by Careful Flash. Hence, he simply let the Cannon Soldier grind down the tower's HP.
At this moment, the King of Nightmares suddenly activated his ultimate move.
Li Ge said in the voice chat, "They caught me. You guys dismantle the tower, you guys dismantle it."
Li Xu immediately rushed to the high ground and cooperated with Little Pao to destroy the tower.
Kesha and Urgot were the only ones left in GRF's middle turret. They immediately retreated and did not forcefully stop SKT from destroying the tower.
Little Pao added five explosions to the tower. With just five attacks and the damage from his teammates, Little Pao was able to destroy the tower.
After Nightmare Lord's big move ended, the sky in the canyon was bright.
Li Ge's Enchantress was not killed. She was knocked out of Catoptric Deflection. Nightmare Lord, Shen, and Zooey were chasing after her.
It seemed that Nightmare Lord had used his big move to kill Li Ge. However, Enchantress with Enchantress's Enchantress was not easy to kill. Zooey pulled a flying star from the side and threw it at Li Ge, who had only a small amount of HP left.
As Li Ge ran downwards, he meticulously controlled his doppelganger to move to the left, blocking the incoming flying star.
Of course, the four players in front of SKT wouldn't save Brother Li. They quickly dismantled the red crystal in the middle lane. Just as they were about to dismantle the crystal, Clid kicked Urgot back to him.
Everyone threw a series of skills at him. Urgot activated his Gargoyle Plate Armor, but he could not withstand the attacks and was quickly killed.
SKT started to destroy the red side's front turret. Griffin, who was chasing after Li Ge, returned to the high ground and looked like they were ready to attack.
SKT's four players surrounded Little Pao tightly. Urgot was already down. At this moment, Little Pao was like a mobile cannon. With his long arms, the remaining weak players would not be able to withstand two hits.
Zooey hit Bloom with a Hypnosis Bubble. Without waiting for the opponent to attack, Li Xu activated Mega Annihilation and attacked Shen with a QE.
He knew that as long as he could hold Shen back, this equipped Little Pao would be invincible.
When Li Jiu sent Shen flying, Zooey immediately pulled out her Flying Star and used her ultimate skill to jump over. She was forced to use her passive skill, Smoke and Fire. However, Little Pao's normal attack took away one-third of her HP.
Teddy fired wildly under the cover of Blind Monk and Bloom. He hit whoever he could and hit the turret if he could not. For a moment, Griffin's weak players did not dare to approach.
At this time, Brother Li's Crippled Blood Enchantress rushed back. W stepped on him and used a set of explosive skills to instantly kill Shen.
With only three fragile SKT players left, SKT was finally able to relax. Little Pao started to push the incisor tower.
Seeing that the two front turrets were about to fall, Griffin's remaining three players had no choice but to fight for their lives. However, it was useless. The three of them were all killed by SKT, and the match was over.
Kim Ji-hyun said, "Congratulations to SKT for taking down the first turret. Is SKT going to take down their opponent with a score of 2: 0 again? You should know that other than that lost match, SKT has always won with a score of 2: 0. "
Park Ji-hwan said, "After last year's disappointment, player Faker has welcomed a new teammate this year. He's unstoppable. Is LCK going to usher in SKT's era again?"
• • • • •
Remember: "Congratulations to SKT. They won the first match without any mishaps. There were some twists and turns, but they won without a hitch."
Eleven said, "This SKT team is really surprising. There's nothing to say about their online play. Every time the team is in a dangerous situation, someone is always able to step up. In the middle of a group battle that almost exploded, Li Xu's Sword Magician stepped up and secured the victory with a wave of clever dragon-stealing commands. Later on, Teddy's Little Pao supported the team's damage output."
Attitude: "In the last wave, Li Ge's Little Temptress dragged on for a long time, allowing the teammates in the middle to successfully take down the high ground. Clid decisively used a Roll Flash to kick Urgot back. It can be said that every member of SKT performed outstandingly. This is a team that makes one feel assured in every round."
Taking off his headphones, Li Xu let out a sigh of relief. This was the second time he had used 'Perfect Moment', but it did not feel as impressive as the first time.
However, his control was more precise, his reaction was faster, his mind was calmer, and his use of skills was more rational.
Back in the preparation room, Coach Kim Ji-hyun patted the shoulders of the players one by one. He even said to Li Xu, "Well done."
In the jungle, when Griffin seized the opportunity, they almost collapsed. Luckily, Li Xu's Sword Magician was there at the crucial moment. Otherwise, the explosion would have caused them to lose the first match.
It had to be said that if Li Xu did not play with Yasso, it was really reassuring.
