Chapter 74 Court Session Begins!
"Faker also used Flash! But he was still controlled! Jarvan IV also used Flash and EQ!"
"Can we escape? It seems like we can't!"
Amidst the passionate commentary, the prince used his Q ability to kill Orianna under the tower.
Off the field, countless KT fans were energized!
Backstage, Coach also clenched his fist in excitement.
Isn't this the opportunity?
Orianna is a champion you can't afford to die; if she dies even once, her win rate will plummet!
Especially if someone dies after using Flash, then they're practically a weak point!
On the RISE contestants' bench.
Lee Sang-hyeok stared at the screen turning gray, his lips pressed tightly together.
He knew, of course, that dying once would make the mid lane a bit more difficult.
At that moment, Li Zhixing's message continued to arrive: "Sang-hyeok, should we provide assistance to the mid lane?"
Upon hearing this, Sang-hyeok clenched his left hand slightly. "No need, I can manage."
Li Zhixing glanced at his younger brother beside him, sneered, and said nothing.
Not needed yet...
If we don't go and help in the middle lane, it'll be blown up!
But since his younger brother had said so, he decided to respect that.
Because of his presence, R1SE has had an incredibly smooth journey so far, and he doesn't mind letting the team suffer a few minor setbacks.
Six minutes later, KT's mid and jungle ganked mid lane again. This time, with Lissandra's ultimate, they seemed to be playing more steadily.
The Ice Maiden used her ultimate followed by the Jarvan IV's EQ combo, and Orianna's health was wiped out before she even landed.
Li Zhixing had anticipated this calamity in the mid lane, but he was a man of principle and did not attempt to counter-gank in the mid lane. Instead, he went to the bottom lane.
However, KT's strategy in this game was no different from that of the top laner; they would rather lose a tower than give the opponent an opportunity.
RISE's resignation was only met with the removal of one defensive tower as a form of revenge.
Clearly, this cannot fill the hole in the middle.
At this moment, it's clear to anyone with eyes that KT's advantage in this game is now overwhelming!
Gaining an advantage is just the beginning.
Therefore, gaining an advantage is the real key.
Faker has never had a strong connection with his four teammates, and this weakness will only be amplified when he is at a disadvantage.
Defeating one Faker isn't enough; KT wants to use one point to break through the whole defense and defeat the entire R1SE.
Within 10 minutes, KT changed their strategy again, with their mid and jungle players starting by targeting the bottom lane!
RISE's bot lane duo maintained an advantage throughout, even taking down the first tower, and their economy wasn't bad either.
But compared to KT's mid and jungle, they are clearly not good enough.
The prince and the ice maiden both had their ultimate abilities ready, and when they unleashed their full combo, they easily dispatched the R1SE duo.
The camera pans to the top lane, where Li Zhixing's Lee Sin leisurely wards up behind the enemy Kennen, delivering a Dragon's Rage and securing the kill with Loope's Alchemist.
No matter the situation, as long as Li Zhixing wants to take heads, he will always be able to.
Even in such a situation, as long as his four teammates are willing to listen, he can lead the team to victory at any time.
But at this moment, everyone on the RISE contestants' bench fell silent.
Lee Sang-hyeok remained silent, focusing intently on farming minions in the mid lane.
But if you don't want to win, that's fine too. You've had too many winning streaks, so losing one game to temper your Dao heart is a good thing.
In the blink of an eye, 28 minutes had passed.
The final team battle between the two sides has begun.
Despite being at a significant disadvantage, RISE still managed to put on a great show in team fights thanks to their excellent individual skills.
Looper's alchemy, accompanied by a wind-up puppet, entered the arena and charged straight into the center of the crowd!
Taking advantage of Orianna's ultimate ability, Li Zhixing's Lee Sin also entered the fray, using an R-flash flying kick to force the enemy Caitlyn into Orianna's ultimate range!
RISE pounced forward and instantly killed the policewoman!
Unfortunately, the disadvantage was too great, and too many ultimate abilities were used up in order to kill the policewoman, leaving them powerless in subsequent team fights.
KT launched a counterattack, with top laner Kennen flashing in and, together with Lissandra, unleashing a devastating AoE attack that wiped out R1E.
After this team fight, the outcome of the match was completely decided.
Congratulations to KT for winning back a point and forcing a decisive fifth game!
In the commentary booth, the two commentators' voices were filled with anticipation.
OGN's tournament format is unique.
Whether it's a best-of-three match in the regular season or a best-of-five match in the playoffs, if the two sides are tied in the previous matches and it comes to a decisive game, then it will automatically enter blind pick mode.
Blind pick mode, simply put, is a matchmaking game where both sides cancel all the ban/pick phase and each chooses their best hero, with the outcome decided in one game.
The blind pick in the decisive game is something that countless viewers look forward to. It means that professional teams, when pushed to the brink, will bring out their most trump cards without any restrictions.
RISE is just too strong. No team has ever put them in such a difficult situation before.
Now that we can finally see it, as viewers, we are naturally eagerly anticipating it!
The KT players had already stood up, and their previous gloomy expressions had vanished, replaced by smiles!
As it turns out, RISE is not as powerful as imagined!
If you can win one game, you can win two.
Who says we can't win the blind pick!
At this moment, a huge discussion is taking place in the live stream chat!
[Is this the invincible Rise? I think it's just average.]
I said it before, RISE is only novel; once it's been thoroughly researched, it won't be as impressive anymore.
The main problem is the huge gap in mid lane; Faker simply can't beat Ryu.
KT should thank Faker for winning this game. This guy doesn't act like a professional mid laner at all; he was still farming even after the game ended!
Neo only died once at the very end; he really did his best.
The camera cuts to RISE, where Li Zhixing, despite losing the match, remains calm and composed as he leaves the stage.
Back in the backstage dressing room, Ma Yingdong had been waiting at the door for a long time. He immediately came up to her and asked, "Are you alright?"
"
Ma Yingdong has been with RISE for a while now, and this is the first time he's seen these monsters lose a match.
"It's just one loss, what's the big deal?"
Li Zhixing remained calm, simply smiling as he walked into the lounge: "Let's review the situation first."
Lee Ji-haeng didn't even bother to review the match, and instead asked directly, "Sang-hyeok, is there anything you want to say?"
The problems in this game are obvious and need no further explanation.
Upon hearing this, Lee Sang-hyeok pursed his lips slightly: "It's my fault for not playing well."
Li Zhixing pressed on, "Where did you not hit it right?"
"..." Lee Sang-hyeok paused for two seconds, then said, "I gave them too many chances."
Lee Sang-hyeok also knew that if he hadn't been caught out and killed twice in a row during the laning phase, this game would not have been so difficult.
Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-haeng shook his head: "That's not the case, Sang-hyeok."
Upon hearing this, Lee Sang-hyeok raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt.
No matter how aloof Lee Sang-hyeok was, he still had extreme faith in Lee Ji-hyeong.
That is precisely why he has such a strong competitive spirit, because he is taking Li Zhixing as his role model and constantly striving to improve.
Li Zhixing shook his head and continued, "Being targeted and killed is never a problem, because the other side is also a top professional team. If they are determined to target you, how could you possibly survive?"
"But the problem is, what do you do to make amends after you're killed in action?"
Li Zhixing's gaze was deep as he spoke, "Do you think your approach to making amends was correct? With a score of 0-2, you ignored your teammates and focused solely on developing yourself. Were you still thinking about carrying the team?"
Lee Sang-hyeok retorted, "Is it wrong for me to think C, hyung?"
"In other teams, it's not wrong. But in RISE, it is wrong. Because you're on a great team, even if you get targeted and crushed, your teammates can still carry you to victory."
Li Zhixing's tone left no room for argument, "Your other teammates understand this principle, but you don't. Don't you trust your teammates at all?"
