Kim Ji-hyun: "17 minutes! GRF paid the price for their desperate gambit. This is the scariest thing about SKT. Once they gain the upper hand, their opponents will fall into despair. If this drags on, they'll win the game step by step. They won't make any mistakes and give their opponents a chance to make a comeback. Furthermore, their opponents will only cause them to lose faster. "
Park Ji-hwan: "SKT won the second match in just 17 minutes. This is the fastest match SKT has won this season. The last time SKT lost a match was at MSI, where they were defeated by IG in less than 16 minutes. After that, SKT hasn't lost a single match this season. It's hard to imagine how they managed to complete this transformation."
Kim Ji-hyun: "This is also what's puzzling everyone. It's as if SKT was completely awakened after that match. SKT's lads must be regretting that if GRF's last stand had come two minutes earlier, they might have been able to break the record for the fastest loss in a match."
… ….
After suffering a huge loss at the hands of Li Xu for two consecutive matches, Griffin finally decided to teach Li Xu a lesson in the third match.
This time, SKT chose the blue side again. They snatched Akali, Griffin took Crocodile Spider, and Li Xu took out Oloi in the first round.
Among the heroes that Li Xu had used before, they were all heroes with strong suppressive abilities, such as Kenan, Nico, and even the non-mainstream top laners that he had taken out. They were also heroes like Kenji and Qing Gang Yin who were nimble enough to pull the solo lanes, or all-rounders like Dao Mei.
Oloi's hero was quite different from the current mainstream top laners. He had nothing but toughness. It was impossible for him to run away. Either you kill me, or I kill you.
Ze Yuan: "Oloi's hero is really unpopular in this competition. Let's see how good Li Xu's hero is."
Remember: "I always felt that Li Xu's compatibility with this hero is not good. He seems to be more suited for the type of hero that can control the game."
Even though Li Xu was prepared to fight to the end, he did not expect them to go against him like this.
As soon as they entered the game, Griffin took the initiative to switch lanes. Lucian and Burong switched to the top lane, Crocodile switched to the middle lane, and Airplane, who was supposed to be the mid laner, switched to the bottom lane.
In the previous match, SKT had performed a three-lane switch. In this match, Griffin immediately switched three lanes, catching SKT off guard.
Originally, Li Jiu was not afraid of Crocodiles on the line. Li Jiu had planned to bully Doran on the line so that the opposing Spider would not dare to act rashly. However, the opponent's sudden change of line did not give him the chance to manipulate Doran.
. No matter how good Li Xu was, he could not go one versus two in the lane. Furthermore, he was facing a duo like Lucian and Burong. Before reaching level six, Oloi had no ability to resist at all.
As soon as Burong stood in front, Li Xu retreated. He did not dare to go up and look for a kill. He could only wait at the back for the opponent to push the lane.
To make matters worse, Tarzan's Spider and Clid's Piggy had switched lanes. With Griffin's top lane and Crocodile in the middle lane, Clid did not dare to go up and defend his own lane.
Li Xu was in a very bad situation. When the opponent finally pushed the lane into the tower, he saw Spider peeking out from the triangle of grass.
Tarzan's timing was very good. Li Xu gave up the kill to gain experience under the tower. In the end, when the opponent finally pushed the lane in, Spider followed.
Seeing Spider, Li Xu felt like he was going to die. After reaching level six, Oloi was not afraid of the opponent catching him. In fact, the more people there were, the better Oloi could play.
But before level six, this hero was as dumb as Steel Dude. In this case, there was no way he could run. He was only level one. Griffin's top three could kill him even if their skills were all empty.
In the end, he really died.
Even though Li Jiu had coquettishly twisted away from Spider's cocoon, he was still inflicted with a passive effect by Bloom. Lucian quickly activated Bloom's passive, and the three of them instantly melted away Li Jiu.
After resurrecting, Li Xu immediately TP the top lane and forced himself to take the lane.
But Li Xu saw very clearly that the opponent had just killed him once. Both Spider and Burong's health was not very healthy. He still had Flash. If the opponent came again, he would have a chance to control them.
Tarzan was obviously a very rational player. As expected, he did not force himself to jump the tower, allowing Li Xu to safely take the large wave of creeps.
"Li Xu, do you want to switch lanes?"
MATA asked the bottom lane. Although SKT's duo could put a lot of pressure on Airplane, Airplane had a long reach. It was still safe for him to take the lane. Furthermore, it was not good for Pig Girl to cooperate with Xia Luo to jump the tower and kill Airplane with Flash.
After Griffin's string change, the one who suffered the most was Li Xu's Oloi.
Li Xu gritted his teeth. "No, they will catch me even if I switch lanes. When I reach level six, I will kill all of them."
Oloi was already very clumsy. If he was forced to switch lanes frequently, the experience loss would be worse than death. Furthermore, he could only switch to the middle lane to look for Crocodile. If Oloi ran to the middle lane, it would cause Clid to explode in the jungle.
Li Xu gritted his teeth and held on. Another large wave of creeps was pushed in. Even if the Triangle Grass saw Spider's position, Li Xu did not retreat immediately.
For a top laner, the experience gained in the early stages was very important. With such a large wave of creeps, it would be worse than death if he could not take them.
Seeing that Li Xu was stubborn, the opponent decisively continued to jump the tower. This time, Spider's Cocoon was dodged by Li Xu again. Burong's Winter's Bite was also dodged by Li Xu. Burong decisively flashed and smashed down with a fist.
Li Xu did not run. He pulled out Spider's Soul and commanded the tentacles near the wall to attack. He coordinated with the tower to counterattack.
Although Li Xu died in this wave, Spider and Lucian, who had taken damage from the tentacles, eventually gave up their Flashes. Li Xu's death in exchange for three Flashes was not a big loss.
Just like that, Li Jiu died twice before he reached Level 5. Just as he was about to reach Level 6, the spider on the other side came to jump the tower again.
Clid's Piggy Girl had come to the back and purposely showed her head to protect Li Xu. However, SKT had underestimated Griffin's killing intent toward Li Xu.
There were only three red creeps left. Clid waved his whip to help Li Xu clear the creeps.
At this time, two red creeps lit up with TP.
This was a five versus two.
"F * ck! The opponent is too ruthless. "
Li Xu's tower did not have much health left. This time, Griffin wanted to kill both of them and take the top tower.
"We all have Flashes. Should we run to the back?" Clid panicked.
"Clid, you die first." Li Xu looked at his experience bar. He was just one step away from level six.
Clid: "???"
'I came to help you with good intentions, and you said that?'
