Chapter 407 Crushing the Exquisite Tower
In the end, the two Xuanming Elders received no support from their teammates and were kicked to death by Li Chen under the tower, without any chance to struggle.
In the upper half of the map, Longzhu chose to take the Rift Herald to mitigate their losses, which would also help slow down EDG's advance.
However, EDG clearly wouldn't let Longzhu gain resources so easily. After killing the bottom lane duo, they quickly pushed down the bottom lane's first tower and then led the minions to continue pushing towards the bottom lane's second tower.
Meanwhile, Scout ran to the river alone and started observing from the edge to prevent Cuzz from getting close to the Rift Herald.
Scout's actions forced BDD, who was originally planning to return to base to defend, to stay and help Cuzz take down the Rift Herald.
What? You're asking where the Khan is?
At this moment, our world's number one top laner, Khan, is still tirelessly farming minions in the top lane.
Fiora, equipped with only a longsword attack item, has a wave clear speed almost comparable to Shen's; before the previous wave is even finished, the next wave arrives.
BDD didn't force Khan to help, since Khan's current combat power is really not as good as a super soldier.
As Li Chen and his team led their troops into the bottom lane's second tower, Longzhu found themselves in a dilemma. If they went back to defend their base now, they wouldn't be able to hold the bottom lane's second tower either, and they would lose the Rift Herald they had already secured.
But if we don't go back to defend our base, and the bottom lane's second tower is destroyed in twelve minutes, it doesn't seem like a good thing.
However, this predicament did not last long. With Camille on the team, EDG pushed towers very quickly, and the second turret in the bottom lane was quickly destroyed.
The resurrected Xuanming Elders arrived at the bottom lane high ground. Seeing that EDG was still pushing forward, they could only frantically send signals.
"Hurry up and come back to defend the base! If you don't come back soon, the bottom lane inhibitor will be gone! What are you guys thinking?" Gorilla's tone was anxious and dissatisfied. He didn't know what use his three teammates were.
BDD, sweating profusely, said, "Almost there, almost there! We're about to get the Rift Herald. I'll teleport back in a bit. Khan, you go back and defend it too, defend it."
As soon as BDD finished speaking, two teleportation beams appeared simultaneously on the bottom lane high ground of Dragon Ball.
Scout teleports soldiers, Khan teleports defensive towers.
Miller exclaimed excitedly, "They're still going to fight! EDG is pushing forward! They're going to push straight to the high ground! Longzhu's reaction time is too slow! Tristana and Trundle don't even dare to get close to clear the wave. Camille's ultimate and Flash are still available; getting close means certain death!"
"The turret's health is dropping rapidly. Fiora is about to land, but they've managed to pressure her. Clearlove caught Fiora as she landed and instantly killed her. This Fiora simply can't withstand the damage from four people. Longzhu finally secured the Rift Herald, but it's too late!"
As soon as Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the bottom lane high ground of Dragon Ball on the screen collapsed with a roar.
EDG retreated swiftly, giving Longzhu no chance to counterattack, and immediately retreated into Longzhu's jungle.
BDD and Cuzz, who rushed back, could only stare blankly at the ruins of the bottom lane high ground and the corpse of Fiora.
Thirteen minutes later, the bottom lane high ground was breached, and the team's kill count was 0-8. They didn't even have such a dramatic loss when playing against wildcard teams.
Just then, Gorilla suddenly realized something was wrong. With EDG's advantage, all five of them were no match for them. Why were they in such a hurry to run away?
"No, they want to push for the center!"
Gorilla finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.
EDG grouped up and moved through the jungle to the mid lane. Before the Longzhu team could arrive, they quickly destroyed the mid tower. They then retreated back to base to replenish their health and mana, leaving Clearlove and Scout to defend the mid tower.
Longzhu held the Rift Herald and wanted to try to take down EDG's mid-lane tower to stop the loss, but Clearlove defended decisively. As soon as the minion wave entered the tower, he threw out his ultimate and blew it up.
"Let's retreat, we can't push anymore." BDD decisively chose to retreat, not daring to continue fighting, fearing that Camille would come over after getting her items.
Although no one died in this Dragon Ball battle, the economic gap between the two sides has been rapidly widened to nearly 7,000, which is completely unacceptable at this point in time.
Furthermore, with the loss of a large number of defensive towers, Dragon Ball's vision was completely out of control, the entire lower jungle was overrun, and no one dared to leave the towers.
At sixteen minutes, Li Chen made a move from the jungle. EE flew into the top lane second tower and immediately used his ultimate, kicking BDD, who was farming under the tower, to death twice. Then, he pushed down the top lane second tower.
At this time, the rest of the Dragon Ball team were still defending the mid lane tower, while only Fiora was farming the bottom lane high ground alone.
The factory manager seized the opportunity to initiate a team fight, knocking the support troll back and instantly killing him. The others were unable to continue defending the tower and had to retreat.
"How can we continue like this? We can't win. Let's prepare for the next round!"
With the top and middle high ground towers pushed down, BDD had given up. In such a completely crushing match, there was no point in continuing, and it would only affect their mentality.
At nineteen minutes, EDG pushed forward on all three lanes simultaneously, destroying three high ground crystals, and then waited for the super minion wave to arrive.
Miller, seeing the game was about to end, shouted, "All three lanes are broken, a gold difference of over 10,000, the game is about to end. Facing countless super minions, Longzhu is having a hard time clearing the lanes, there's no chance to initiate a team fight at all, EDG is about to push into the enemy's base."
Half a minute later, with Dragon Ball being wiped out, the match came to an end.
Guan Zeyuan said, "Congratulations to EDG. Facing the LCK's number one seed and a top favorite to win this World Championship, they still showed their amazing dominance in the game, winning the match in just 21 minutes without breaking a sweat."
Rita added details: "11-0-2, C God completely dominated Khan in his lane, and EDG also achieved the Linglong Tower achievement. In this game, they did not allow Longzhu to get a single kill, tower or dragon."
[Terrifying! Did they mistake the Dragon Balls for a deaf pig?]
[C's comment: Khan, the best top laner in LCK, is not bad!]
I still prefer what gsl said: What kind of strength does EDG actually have?
They weren't particularly strong; they just barely managed to crush the LCK's number one seed.
[Just finished one game, Dragon Ball wasn't even serious yet, and he's already having a climax right after spawning?]
【Ah, yes, yes, yes.】
Amid cheers from the audience, the EDG team returned to the rest room, where they were greeted by Abu with his arms outstretched.
"Ah Chen, that game was amazing! I was watching like crazy from down below. Khan really beat him to a pulp."
Abu excitedly patted Li Chen on the back, unable to contain his smile.
Currently, among the teams still in the World Championship, apart from Longzhu, all the other teams are defeated by EDG. Now Longzhu has also been crushed, and Abu feels that he can already see the championship beckoning to him.
