Kim Ji-hyun: "Congratulations to SKT for leading TeamLiquid 2: 0. The match point has appeared, and it is also the point of this MSI championship. SKT is only one victory away from the third MSI championship trophy in team history."
Park Jihwan: "SKT has displayed extremely strong individual strength and terrifying teamwork in the previous two matches. In front of such a team, TL is incomparably weak. This is a team with no shortcomings."
Kim Ji-hyun: "In the second match, player Impact was completely bypassed by player Li Xu's Jayce. TL has to change their playstyle. They can't let Impact tank every time. Li Xu is giving too much pressure in the top lane."
Score: "This is also a headache for SKT's opponents. Every time the jungler doesn't help the top lane, the top lane is always at a disadvantage. Even if they help, they might not be able to gain an advantage.
I'm very glad that I'm a jungler now. I don't have to face players like Li Xu. Jing Hao told me that Li Xu gives him a lot of pressure in the top lane.
Li Xu's offensive tendencies may not be as good as IG's top laners, but in terms of details, he's even better. "
Kim Ji-hyun: "Wow! Does player Smeb have such a high opinion of player Li Xu? "
Score: "Of course. In the second match, when we faced SKT, Jing Hao asked me for help in the first five minutes. In the end, I didn't succeed in gank him. My jungle was reversed."
Park Jihwan: "Actually, many teams understand that against SKT, they need to target the top lane. However, player Li Xu's anti-gank awareness and recovery ability are too good. It's rare for him to be caught off guard. The problem is placed in front of TL. Let's see how they solve it."

In SKT's lounge, the atmosphere was very relaxed. In the short ten-minute break, some of the players took the opportunity to stretch their muscles and bones, while others hurriedly solved their personal problems.
Clid and Teddy were lying on the sofa with their arms around each other's shoulders. They were talking about the delicacies in Taipei while shaking their right legs rhythmically.
Li Ge, on the other hand, had his left hand supporting his lower body, and his right hand was unconsciously stroking the hair on top of his head. His eyes were wandering, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Li Jiu glanced at Jin Zhengxun, who was gently rotating his chair, and thought for a moment.
"Coach, when are we going back to Seoul?"
Jin Zhengxun was stunned. "Didn't we agree to go back tomorrow?"
"Well, look."
Li Xu pretended to count on his fingers. "We have to celebrate our victory here. There's Park Jung Hyun's concert in Taipei tomorrow. How about we go back the day after tomorrow?"
"But the tickets have already been booked."
"Oh," Li Xu replied sullenly.
Jin Zhengxun looked at Li Xu carefully. He always felt that Li Xu was not quite right. Every time the players discussed singers or girl groups, Li Xu looked uninterested. Why would he be interested in a concert?
"Do you have something to say?"
"Nothing."
Li Ge pushed his glasses at the side. After watching the whole thing, he did not feel anything.
Hehe, who asked you to be so smug?

In TL's lounge, the TL players sat together. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was much more solemn than in SKT's lounge.
TL's coach, Cain, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Hey, guys, cheer up. Why are you sad?"
The players looked at the coach's relaxed face and were a little confused.
Why were they sad? They were 0: 2 behind. How could they be so relaxed when they were about to lose? Why did the coach's expression look like they were leading 2: 0?
"Do you still remember our goal?"
"After the group stage ended, who would have thought that we would be able to eliminate IG with a nine-win streak? Everyone, including us, did not expect it. "
"Everyone is saying that it would be inconceivable for us to win even a small game."
"And now, we are standing on the stage of the finals."
"I'm proud of you guys. Your performance has far exceeded my expectations."
"The next game may be our last game in this MSI."
Cain paused. "The other divisions are laughing at us, saying that NA has nothing except for the boss's money."
"Now let's go all out. We have nothing but money anyway."
All the players laughed, and the solemn atmosphere in the lounge was swept away.
"Go, show off your skills and let the world see NA's game style."

The staff announced the start of the game, and the players from both sides sat on the competition seats again.
Li Xu glanced around. Perhaps this would be the last time he would compete here.
TL's players seemed to be more relaxed.
Mille: "TL's players seem to be very relaxed. They are not affected by the situation on the field at all."
Ze Yuan: "Look at how happy Emperor Jian is. You can't tell that he was the one who died the most in the previous two games."
"Still laughing! You're the noob, 23333. "
"The one with the most loot is laughing the most."
"I have a feeling that Emperor Jian is going to be soloed again."
"Just how great of a grudge do you all have to go against Jian Huang?"

The BP of the third game began. This time, SKT chose the red side, and TL chose the blue side first.
The blue team still banned Knife Lady first. This hero TL had been banned for three consecutive rounds. They were a team that preferred to fight in the later stages of the game. Knife Lady's destructive power in team battles was too strong, not to mention that Li Xu's Knife Lady had a lot of scenes of her rushing up to chase after a few people to slash them.
The red side banned Tariq. Since they had won the first two games, it meant that there was no problem with the BP, so they continued to ban him.
TL's second BAN spot was given to Ryze. Li Ge's Ryze made TL suffer twice in a row.
SKT's second BAN spot was given to Gário, who was still targeting CoreJJ's hero pool.
Mille: "There are a lot of strong heroes in this version. Rexel, Sareth, Akali, and Jesse are all outside."
The blue side's third BAN spot was given to Law. This move was the same as the BAN for Tariq. A BAN spot was equivalent to a BAN for a group.
Ze Yuan: "TL's third BAN spot was given to Law. He wanted to force SKT to BAN Akali. If SKT didn't BAN Akali, the blue side would just take it."
Mille: "Akali's MSI is not a must-pick for a BAN, and her win rate is too terrifying. It's more than 70%. It's different from Dao Mei's high win rate. Dao Mei's win rate is not because she didn't pick enough people, but because this hero is too strong and can't be easily banned."
Meiko: "But Jensen's Akali doesn't seem to play that well. Her play is far worse than Faker's."
Ze Yuan: "That's for sure. You can't find many better players than Faker's Akali. But this hero is still very strong. We've seen how well Akali played in the group stages. Caps, The Sh, and Faker."
Mille: "If SKT BAN Akali, TL can snatch Princes. Xmithie seems to be the most reliable carnivorous jungler in this MSI."
However, SKT chose to ban Akali.
