All ten people from both sides gathered near the dragon pit. After the dragon refreshed, TES relied on the red team's terrain advantage to activate the dragon first and pull it out to fight.
Five T1 players came from the middle lane. Suddenly, Xiaotian reminded them, "Kennen is circling. Look at your position, Kennen."
Lu Yi noticed that the Kennen on the opposite side was walking down from the top of the dragon pit, as if preparing to double-team him from top to bottom.
So Lu Yi decisively commanded: "Go straight to their front, right now! Dashu, use your ultimate move!"
Xiaotian reacted quickly and decisively used his ultimate skill towards the four people in front of T1.
Wawa explained: "It's time to start the fight! Top Esports took the initiative and had a great sense of timing. Kennen is now out of touch... No, Kennen used the Explosion Fruit to come down. This is wrong!"
The situation changed again. It seemed to be going smoothly at first, but after Kennen entered the dragon pit, he could directly threaten TES's back row.
If TES chooses to continue chasing forward, it will definitely be double-teamed from the front and back.
The four people in front of T1 also came to their senses and turned around to follow.
Lu Yi decisively commanded: "Stone Man flashes and uses his ultimate skill directly on Kennen!"
Without any hesitation, Shan Ji decisively gave his flash ultimate to Kennen.
Wawa explained: "Mountain Chicken is anxious. Why is he so anxious? Although his ultimate skill hit, there is no one to deal damage to him. It's too far away! Zeus doesn't even plan to use Flash."
Zeus really thought that there was no need to use flash because the other players of TES were all quite far away.
However, the moment the Stone Man's ultimate knocked Zeus away, Draven's ultimate followed!
Draven's ultimate skill hit twice, and Kennen, who originally had more than half of his health left, was killed instantly!
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Zeus (Violent Heart)!! ]
Miller exclaimed: "What kind of damage? Did he kill him instantly? Draven has Armor Piercing and Duskblade, no wonder the damage of his ultimate is so high, Kennen's armor was almost completely worn out!"
"The opponent's Thresh was controlled by Maokai's ultimate. Maokai decisively used W on Maokai. Lucian used his ultimate, and Draven and Nami also used their ultimates. How should T1 respond to this team fight?"
Keria's Thresh could only flash to the side, but the distance was not completely opened, so Lucian used his E skill to catch up with the wind and continue to output.
Without any time to hesitate, Sylas used his E skill to steal the Stone Man's ultimate, flashed W to get close to Lucian, Lucian flashed back, and Sylas used his ultimate to hit Lucian.
At the same time, Aphelios' ultimate and whirlwind created an explosive AOE, and cooperated with Sylas to kill Lucian in seconds!
【T1, Faker (Liberator) killed!! TES, Jackeylove (Holy Spear Ranger)!!】
I remember the passionate commentary: "Faker made a perfect entry, cooperated with the AD to kill Lucian, but he himself was controlled by Nami, Draven followed up with the output, the blades were triggered, and the three axes were in the state!"
"Vi used her ultimate, Draven retreated, Sylas was already at low health, and was killed by the Stone Man!"
[TES, Shanji (Lava Monster) killed!! T1, Faker (Liberator)!! ]
"Blades helped! Without Blades, Draven wouldn't have been able to quickly fire those three attacks. Vi knocked Draven away, and Aphelios flashed in close to deal damage. He wanted to kill Draven first!"
"Draven lands and flashes to distance himself from Wei. Wei flashes to follow. Draven and Aphelios face off! Maokai flashes Q and then W. Aphelios is distracted and cannot win!"
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Gumayusi (Howl of the Crescent Moon)!! ]
"Draven is still dealing damage. He is still dealing damage. Vi is being controlled by Nami's bubble. Thresh is giving her a lantern. Someone has put in a ward. Vi can't pick up the lantern. She is going to lose it for nothing!"
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Oner (Piltover Law Enforcer)!! ]
At this time, on the TES side, Xiaotian cheered: "Nice! We can take the small dragon and the big dragon. We won!"
Ah Shui said: "That's enough Faker, just leave the ultimate to me alone, right?"
Meiko smiled and said, "It's because you have high output."
In fact, Lu Yi and A Shui just went up to help attract fire, so that if the opponent gave him the skills, it would be easier for Draven to operate.
Of course, if you can do it, it would be best to dodge the opponent's ultimate move, but you just didn't dodge it.
Wawa commented: "Now Top Esports has taken the Fire Dragon Soul and is going to take the Baron. The situation is not good for T1. It seems that they didn't make any mistakes, they just couldn't win. It's very uncomfortable."
Miller continued, "I think the Stoneman's flash ultimate just now was really a stroke of genius. At that distance, the other players of Top Esports couldn't keep up with the output. At the same time, Kennen couldn't reach the other players of Top Esports even after flashing over."
"So, Zeus must have thought that he should save his flash for the team fight, and Shanji understood his mentality."
I remember muttering, "Did Shan Ji really do that? What I mean is that even though Shan Ji used the ultimate move, it wasn't necessarily his idea. He probably couldn't think that much."
Soon, the Baron was taken down by TES, and five people gathered in the middle lane and pushed forward.
The soldiers entered the defensive tower, and the five T1 players were defending under the tower. Kennen still had his ultimate skill, ready to make a move.
Lu Yi reminded: "Be careful of Kennen TPing around, he has TP and flash."
Suddenly, Kennen on the opposite side retreated and disappeared.
Lu Yi knew something was wrong at first sight. This Kennen was most likely TPing around from behind.
In the commentary booth, Wawa explained: "Kennen has TPed! The TP point is below the river, he is going to attack from behind! In the front, the T1 team is moving forward, trying to start a team fight!"
"Wait a minute! The Divination Orb has found Kennen's position. Draven's ultimate! Two hits, Kennen's health is low! Is this the power of Armor-Piercing Draven and Dragon Soul? What should we do now?"
Outrageous things happened again. After Lu Yi and Delevin used their ultimate skills, the opponent's Kennen's health was directly reduced by three quarters!
"Use the ultimate skill, push the tower, and go straight ahead!" Lu Yi commanded decisively.
So Xiaotian used his ultimate on Trek, and A Shui took the opportunity to push the opponent's defense tower. Faker's Sylas couldn't steal the Stone Man's ultimate, so he chose to steal Trek's ultimate and used his ultimate to stop TES from chasing forward.
On the other side, after Zeus' Kennen TP landed, he immediately returned to the city. There was no way he could join the team fight in this state.
However, in the front, Maokai blocked the ultimate thrown by Sylas, while on T1's side, Thresh was controlled.
Nami used her ultimate and Thresh was controlled again. At this time, the defensive tower was gone!
Miller commented: "TOP is very smart. They know Kennen doesn't dare to come up now, so they keep fighting from the front. Lucian uses his E skill to deal damage, and Aphelios uses his ultimate to cover Thresh."
"But Lucian still had the whirlwind, so he dodged it easily and continued to damage. Thresh couldn't bear it anymore, Aphelios didn't dare to come up and damage, and the stone man still had his ultimate skill to use!"
Meiko's Nami came up and followed up with a Q skill, and the chain control made Thresh unable to move.
So, all T1 players could only watch Thresh being taken down by Lucian.
[TES, Jackeylove (Holy Lance Ranger) killed! ! T1, Keria (Soul Warden)! ! ]
Miller continued to explain: "Chase forward! Topbo continues to chase forward. Now the opponent has lost some people. The Stone Man uses his ultimate move! The Stone Man's ultimate move knocks Wei away! It's very sudden!"
"Trek follows up with his W skill. Now Top Esports is directly crossing the tower. Kennen is still under the front tower, very far away! There are only three people in front!"
Lu Yi's Draven stepped forward to deal damage. Seeing that she couldn't escape, Wei turned back and used her ultimate skill on Lu Yi.
"Draven!" Oner now had only one thought, which was to kill Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was the biggest factor that led to their current difficult situation. Sylas used his E skill to close the distance, but the tree pushed him away with a Q, blocking him in front and not giving Sylas a chance to get close.
Sylas could only contribute one Q skill, and Wei's ultimate followed up with the Q skill after landing, AEA, and Draven lost most of his health, but he did not die. Wei's output was not enough.
Miller commented: "No one can make up for the damage. Nami uses her Q to control Wei. Draven starts to output damage, axes are flying everywhere. Wei can't bear it at all and is about to be killed!"
Remember to answer, "T1 is about to be defeated in this teamfight! Draven takes down Wei, and Aphelios' attack speed is slowed down by the Stone Man, so he can't deal damage. The Stone Man even has a stopwatch to delay time!"
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Oner (Piltover Law Enforcer)!! ]
At the same time, A Shui's Lucian took down Sylas. In order to pursue the ultimate output, Faker did not choose to use the golden body.
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Faker (Liberator)!! ]
Miller commented: "Now only Kennen and Aphelios are left. The Stoneman is low on health and returns to the city for supplies. He TPs out, and Top Esports goes to the high ground. The two remaining T1 players dare not defend."
"Behind the high ground are the front tower and the base crystal. Top Esports is advancing rapidly. What should T1 do now? Draven's position is very far back. He doesn't intend to give him any chance. Can he just watch the base crystal being destroyed?"
Kennen couldn't help it and used his flash and ultimate to enter the field. Maokai controlled him immediately. Lucian used his E skill and retreated. Maokai and Malphite took full damage. They were tanky enough, so it didn't matter.
Aphelios used Gale to attack and Lu Yi waited until Kennen finished before going up to attack.
[TES, Jackeylove (Holy Spear Ranger) killed!! T1, Gumayusi (Howl of the Crescent Moon)!! ]
[TES, GodYi (Glory Executioner) killed!! T1, Zeus (Violent Heart)!! ]
【ACE! 】
I remember the commentator said: "It's over, it's all over, Top Esports is about to end the game, Aphelios and Kennen can't save the world."
"As the crystal of T1's base explodes, let us congratulate Top Esports and congratulate them on winning the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational!"
Wawa continued: "It was really not easy. In the last game, Yishen showed us his understanding of the game. In this game, the opponent had many means to target the back row. As an ADC without displacement, it was difficult to perform well in team battles."
"But he chose armor-piercing equipment, and his ultimate skill can injure the squishy hero, while keeping himself in a very safe position. The adjustment in equipment changed the direction of the game."
At this time, TES fans were cheering at the game: "Top! Top! Top!"
On the stage, everyone from TES stood up to celebrate, and the five of them hugged each other.
Xiaotian cheered: "We are the champions, we are the champions!"
Meiko also cheered: "We won, we won!"
Warhorse rushed up from the lounge and joined the celebration:
"We are the strongest club, Top Esports is proud of you!"
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. We are the champions!"
Zhanma shook hands and hugged everyone in TES one by one.
The director gave a close-up of the T1 players. At this time, the five starting players of T1 were sitting on chairs, looking at the screen in deep thought.
Faker looked up at the ceiling, his eyes full of helplessness.
The live broadcast room was boiling with excitement:
【The remnants of the old era cannot board the ship of the new era. 】
[Esports is cruel, and dynasties are always changing. ]
[Teacher Dafei tried his best, but unfortunately he met Yishen. 】
【Since Ke was born, why did Yi come into being?】
After the celebration, the TES players came to T1 to shake hands.
The first one was Zeus. When Zeus saw the TES people coming over, he forced himself to cheer up and shook hands with them.
When Shan Ji saw Zeus, he couldn't help but smile. The feeling was very subtle. He couldn't beat the opponent in the laning phase and was inferior to the opponent in all aspects, but he could still win the game.
Then there is the jungler, Oner.
Oner looked expressionless, probably thinking about working out in the evening.
Then, in the mid lane, Faker tried to remain as respectable as possible, smiling.
The next one, Gumayusi, looked the most unconvinced and seemed about to explode with anger.
When shaking hands with A Shui, Gumayusi did not forget to say something harsh: "See you in the S game, this is just a warm-up."
Ah Shui smiled and said, "I'm at your service any time."
The last one was Keria. When Lu Yi shook hands with Keria, he found that Keria had a wronged expression on her face and her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.
I can only say that this is his personality.
After shaking hands with everyone from T1, Lu Yi and his teammates ran to the center of the stage, where the trophy was waiting for its owner. :
"Tao Bo! Tao Bo!"
The audience cheered loudly. On the stage, the TES players held the trophy high. The whole world focused on it, witnessing the moment when TES won the championship.
Then came the award ceremony and interviews, and after everything was over, MSI was over.
The TES team returned to the lounge with the trophy, took photos and celebrated.
Zhan Ma greeted, "Thank you all for your cooperation with my work during this period. It's been hard work."
"I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future. Now everyone, pack up your things and go eat together."
Everyone in TES started packing up, left the lounge together, got in the car and headed straight to the hotel.
After entering the hotel box, Lu Yi found a place to sit down, took out his mobile phone and started playing.
Sure enough, now LPL fans are celebrating, while LCK fans have gone invisible and started playing dead.
Of course, there are still a few who are stubborn and start clamoring to wait and see the S game, although it is a regular event every year.
Just then, Meiko asked, "Are we going to have a holiday, Coach Zhanma? How long will it be?"
Zhan Ma replied, "Ten days of vacation, then come back and start preparing for the summer season."
"The competition pressure will definitely be greater in the summer season, so everyone should be mentally prepared in advance."
After dinner, everyone in TES went back to the hotel to rest and flew back home the next day.
The next week or so is a holiday, and Lu Yi can relax and rest for a rare period of time. (End of this chapter)
