SKT took the opportunity to take down Tai Lung after wiping out the five DWG players. The five of them went home to tidy themselves up and started to push forward as a team.
SKT chose to split up into three groups. Norhand led the front lane while Ice Maiden led the bottom lane. The three of them huddled together in the middle lane and used Tai Lung's buff to pressure DWG's minions. They were not afraid that DWG would forcefully take them down if their opponents did not dodge.
Facing SKT's split push with Tai Lung's buff, DWG's weakness was exposed. Not only did they have short arms, but their speed of clearing the minions was also extremely slow.
The three SKT players in the middle lane quickly took down the second tower. DWG tried to throw a few skills before giving up and retreating to the high ground.
With no one defending, Li Xu quickly took down the second tower on the top lane and brought the minions up to the high ground.
The bottom lane had already been taken down by Norhand. Li Ge's Ice Maiden moved the minions to the high ground and used the strengthened Rocket Launcher to slowly reduce the HP of the tower.
With three minions entering the tower at the same time, Vayne, who had short arms, did not dare to go up and attack the Rocket Launcher. It was too slow to rely on Gário to clear the Rocket Launcher. DWG had to make a decision. If they delayed any longer, they might lose more than one lane.
Finally, when the middle lane tower was down to half HP, Cheyenne stepped on the accelerator. Everyone's ultimate skills were ready. DWG was going all out.
"They're ready. I'll hold them off and retreat. Ice Maiden and Norhand continue to destroy the tower," MATA commanded immediately.
Dusk and Blind Monk retreated. MATA's Tauren activated his ultimate skill and blocked the Rocket Launcher.
Tauren's equipment was not good enough as a support, but his high damage immunity during the activation of his ultimate skill made him the best frontline tank.
Tauren blocked the damage at the back while Dusk kept throwing out feathers. Qing Gang Yin blocked Dusk with his ultimate skill. Gário's ultimate skill was ready.
Blind Monk reacted quickly and kicked Qing Gang Yin away. He did not let Dusk stay.
At the same time, Xia Xia took back the feathers and imprisoned Morgana and Qing Gang Yin with great precision. The three of them quickly withdrew from Gário's big move range.
Vayne, who was wearing a black shield, wanted to continue her pursuit, but Nuo Shou and Ice Maiden pushed down two highland towers one after another. DWG had no choice but to return to defend.
"We can fight, we can fight. The opponent has no more big moves." MATA frantically signaled to Li Xu and FAKER.
Just as DWG retreated, Norhand and Ice Maiden surrounded them from outside the highlands.
Li Ge's Ice Lady blocked their vision brilliantly and used Ice Claws to cross the wall and instantly froze Vayne and Morgana. Without the Black Shield, and Purification was still on cooldown, Vayne didn't use Mercury. Instead, she chose to take Li Ge's W and Q's damage head-on. Her HP instantly dropped to half.
Li Xu's Nuo Shou activated Righteous Glory and rushed toward Vayne. A Q's outer edge hit Vayne.
Vayne escaped from the Ice Ring's imprisonment and was about to roll away after activating her big move. Ice Maiden immediately used her big move. The moment Vayne's Mercury was dispelled, Nuo Shou pulled Vayne back with his E skill, Ruthless Iron Hand. Without waiting for Blood Rage, Nuo Shou's Guillotine directly killed Vayne.
Ze Yuan: "It's over. Vayne is dead. SKT won. Morgana used her black shield too early, causing Ice Maiden to enter the scene. Vayne didn't dare to use her only Mercury. However, Nuo Shou and Ice Maiden only need to CC Vayne for a second. Both of them can instantly kill Vayne."
Shu Yi: "Nuclear's Vayne is the first to fall again. DWG's momentum is gone."
After Vayne fell, the remaining few people did not even have any key skills. They were surrounded by five people. Ice Maiden took three kills and destroyed the entire team.
SKT took advantage of the situation and destroyed their base, ending the match.
Park Ji Hwan: "In this match, when DWG's Vayne got three kills, we thought that SKT was in danger. However, after two rounds of exciting team battles, this SKT team has shown us their resilience. Let's look forward to the next match."
Kim Ji-hyun: "Congratulations to SKT. This newly reformed Galactic Battleship has defeated DWG in the first round and entered the Kespa Cup semi-finals. I have to say, Li Xu, the top laner from China, has brought us many surprises. In the second round, the Great Demon King Sven dominated the battlefield. In the third round, Li Xu once again brought out a godly hand when DWG's first three BAN's. Li Xu has shown everyone that there is no way to counter his hero pool."
Park Ji Hwan: "At least for now, Li Xu's dominance in the lane is unquestionable. I'm looking forward to seeing how Li Xu will perform when he goes up against top top laners like Kiin and Smeb. Time will tell. Good luck, Li Xu."
… ….
Ze Yuan: "Although both sides made mistakes to varying degrees, I have to say that this was a very exciting match. Especially Li Xu, he made almost zero mistakes throughout the match. In two crucial team battles, he killed Vayne and broke the opponent's four to one defense system. The other four players could only wait for death."
Shu Yi: "Congratulations to SKT for winning the match. The MVP of this match is undoubtedly Li Xu. This is Li Xu's fourth MVP in four matches. At least for now, Li Xu's performance is perfect. I hope that Li Xu can continue to do his best in the following matches."
Ze Yuan: "Li Xu's performance is completely unlike that of a new player. He is steady and experienced in the lane, and his thoughts are clear when fighting in a team battle. He is not like the average player who progresses step by step. He reminds me of the fledgling Faker."
"Is this the legendary 'the peak of one's debut'? (Manual joke). "
"The peak of one's debut? Upstairs, what are you hinting at?"
"F * ck! Li Xu's Nolan is so fierce. His opponent was chopped into pieces in a few moves! "
… ….
Li Xu took off his headphones and let out a long sigh of relief. This match was not as easy as it seemed. Vayne of Nuclear was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over SKT's head. If they could not get rid of Vayne, it would be difficult for them to win.
Fortunately, Vayne of Nuclear had a desire to show off. Tai Lung's team did not retreat at first. Instead, they rushed toward Nolan, looking for an opportunity to pin him to the wall. This gave Li Xu the opportunity to kill him.
After taking off his headphones and getting up, Li Ge did not walk toward the DWG members to shake hands. Instead, he high-fived Li Xu. It was obvious that Li Ge was also relieved.
The live broadcast shifted the camera to Li Xu, the key player of the match. The stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers. It was rare that there was no noise at all.
Park Ji Hwan: "Oh! All the fans of SKT are giving Li Xu a round of applause. I'm so surprised that there is not a single voice of objection? Miss Kim Ji-hyun, you were not present in the previous matches, so it might be difficult for you to understand my surprise. You have to know that the first time thousands of people cheered, it left a deep impression on me. "
Kim Ji-hyun: "The fans of SKT in the stadium are giving the most enthusiastic cheers to the hero of this match. Li Xu used his performance to conquer the audience. At least at this moment, no one can criticize his performance. He is a hero, and he deserves to be praised."
