Sword Magician raised his greatsword high above his head. Under the shadow of the crimson greatsword, the four GRF players felt gloomy.
Lehends' Lo was the first to react. He made a grand entrance and wanted to knock Li Xu's Sword Magician away. However, the greatsword was already slashing down with unstoppable force.
The sword whistled through the air. A Dark Shadow Rush adjusted its position. The tip of the sword passed and three players were knocked away.
The second time the greatsword slashed through the air, Clid's Kazik jumped over from afar. His evil claws reached for Xiang Xia's butthole. Viper's Xia immediately used her Storm Feather Blade to avoid the evil claws.
Little Yellow Hair Isreal jumped onto the GRF players and started attacking crazily.
This time, Li Xu's slash was slightly off target. The tip of the sword only knocked Lo away. However, the huge AoE range of the Dark Shadow Blade still dealt damage to the GRF players.
Teddy's secret shot killed Lo, who was still trying to retaliate.
The third sword was about to strike when MATA's Tauren arrived. WQ entered the field and knocked away Zhao Xin and Gário.
Bam! Li Xu immediately used Flash and appeared in the midst of the GRF players. Together with Kazik's damage, he killed Xia directly.
After the three rounds of Q, Li Xu closed his eyes and casually used WQ's Flame Chain. There were only two players in front of him, so whoever got hit would be unlucky. He turned around and used a normal attack to trigger a lethal strike, which directly crippled Gário. Sword Magician waved his greatsword and slashed wildly. Kazik added damage, and Sword Magician obtained a double kill.
Faker's Urgot finally arrived at the field with arrogant steps. From afar, he accurately hit Zhao Xin, who was at low health. He dragged Zhao Xin back and executed him.
SKT did not return home to tidy up their equipment. Instead, they went straight to the high ground. The revived Victor was killed again without any resistance. SKT directly flattened the red team's base and ended the match.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Congratulations to SKT for another victory. They are the first team to reach the match point at 2: 0. This SKT team's performance on the field was amazing. Strong individual ability, extremely low error rate, superb ability to seize opportunities. I can vaguely see the shadow of SKT's peak."
Park Ji-hwan: "SKT is leading 2: 0. SKT now has a chance to avenge last year's defeat. In last year's summer tournament, when GRF was promoted to LCK, they defeated SKT with 2: 0 in the two rounds of the BO3 format match. SKT was humiliated. Now, SKT has a chance to enter the Kespa Cup finals with a clean sweep of GRF."

Hao Kai: "Sword is once again the breakthrough point in this match. They are being crushed in the lane. The key is that Tai Lung was careless and was knocked back by a bull head. GRF needs to adjust their condition as soon as possible. SKT has three match points, and GRF's young army is under great pressure. Next, it's time to fight to the death."
Zhi Huan: "After two rounds, if GRF wants to win, the top lane must not collapse. Sword has been crushed by Li Xu in both rounds. You can't always farm Li Xu in the top lane. If you're the only one playing the monster farming game in the top lane, how are the other teammates going to play? They were playing well, but suddenly Jess and Sword Magician appeared out of nowhere. Who can take it? "
"Haha! Zhi Huan is so realistic. Sword is saying that I'm not playing the same game as you guys. "
"Is Sword playing the monster farming game? Then isn't Li Xu the monster being farmed? (laughing emoji). "
"GRF's top lane is too problematic. They've been crushed in the lane twice. They're really not human."
"Why are you blaming GRF's top lane? It's clearly me, Xu Ge, who's the best. Xu Ge will continue to destroy the top lane next round."
"Li Xu's Sword Magician is really something. He's so good at controlling the range of his Q skill. He's always able to knock a few people off their feet."
"I think Li Ge's Urgot is also very good. Although he doesn't have such eye-catching stats, his KDA is really high. I, Li Ge, haven't died even once, haha!"
"Li Ge's crucial big move was really accurate. He took Xia's head in the blink of an eye. 2333."

In the live broadcast room, the MVP of the second match had been announced. Li Xu was once again elected.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Wow! Contestant Li Xu's strong laning ability is really amazing. He's once again elected as the MVP. You know, from the moment he stepped onto the stage, contestant Li Xu has won the MVP award six times in a row. I have to say, he's really an MVP harvester. "
Park Ji-hwan could not help but interject. "Maybe it's just like what contestant Li Xu said. To be interviewed by Miss Kim Ji-hyun, winning the MVP award gave him a special motivation."
Kim Ji-hyun did not seem to notice her partner's teasing. She smiled. "Then I'll be happy to interview such an outstanding contestant. However, this time, he's going to be disappointed."
The live audience cheered.
Back in the preparation room, SKT looked relaxed. Clid was even lying on the chair, shaking his legs and humming a tune.
Coach Kim Jong-hoon walked in. When he saw Clid's relaxed demeanor, he frowned. "Everyone, stay alert. We can't let our guard down in this match. Our opponent is not weak. We can't let our guard down."
Clid boasted shamelessly. "Our opponent isn't as strong as the media made them out to be. Next time, I'll continue to carry the top lane. The GRF strategy is very simple.
Clid had completely forgotten about the despair he felt when Tarzan continuously stole his dragon.
Teddy indicated that he was already studying his opponent for the finals.
Everyone said that Ruler was very strong. However, having fought against him more than once, Teddy felt that he was not inferior to his opponent.
Li Xu, on the other hand, did not feel that there was anything different about having three match points. After all, he had only fought a few matches.
Only Faker and MATA sat up straight. Their expressions were serious. After all, as veterans who had won the S Tournament, they knew that they had to be extra careful in this situation. After all, in the BO5 format, it was very common to have two players chasing three players.
Kim Jong-hoon did not say much. He only said, "We still have to give it our all in the next match. If we lose this match, this reorganized SKT will become the joke of the Korean eSports scene for a long time. You guys don't want to be the main character of this joke, right?"
After saying that, Kim Jong-hoon walked out of the preparation room. He gave the team some time to discuss among themselves.
Faker adjusted his glasses. "We must win the next match. Everyone, don't slack off. This will be our first championship of the new season. We must win all the championships."
Faker paused for a moment before continuing, "The most important thing is that I don't like to be the main character who gets two players chasing three players. SKT has done this many times before, but I don't want to be that 'two'."
Li Xu was surprised. Did Li Ge really not understand the jokes that the Chinese netizens made about him and Eunjung?
Li Ge, I don't like 'two' either!
SKT's classic game of two chasing three players was something that many people enjoyed talking about.
Li Ge's rise to fame, and Ryu's rise to fame was KT Team when SKT allowed two players to chase three players.
Bengi, on the other hand, broke the water cooler and allowed CJ Team to chase three players.
The two chasing three became a classic. However, the one who was used as a background character was often dragged out to be whipped. Just look at how pitiful Yue Lun was.
The more classic the game was, the more pitiful the person who was whipped as a background character.
