LOL: Reborn in S9, Coaching the Trident

Chapter 91: JDG 2:0 IG

"It feels like everyone on IG is going to be caught in this wave. Ning used Flash to create distance first, and Forge followed suit with Flash, but Baolan wasn't so lucky and was caught by JD Gaming."

Guan Zeyuan said with some helplessness, "This wave saw IG trade two kills from the couple and the flashes of Jarvan IV and Sylas for a top lane turret and a Water Dragon. But JD Gaming can push down a mid lane turret. Actually, for IG, this isn't very profitable."

Rita chimed in: "IG got a Water Dragon. If it were a dragon of another element, whether it was a Fire Dragon or an Earth Dragon, it would have been good. They have two Water Dragons this game, and the laning phase is already over."

"All I can say is that IG's top laner Gnar was farming quite comfortably, but his teammates didn't gain any advantage in the head-on engagements."

Guan Zeyuan nodded: "And to be honest, Gnar has limitations in team fights. That's why Gnar has not only not been nerfed in the past few seasons, but has actually been buffed. Yet, no one uses him. The key reason is that several teams are too good at dealing with Gnar. When facing Gnar, they almost never give you the opportunity to grow big and fight in team fights."

While Guan Zeyuan and Rita were chatting, Ning summoned the Rift Herald in the mid lane.

The Rift Herald slowly approached JDG's mid-lane turret, and Baolan, who was at the F6 flank, also came over.

The Rift Herald crashed into the mid-lane turret. At this point, JDG's mid-lane turret only had a little health left. However, seeing that all four JDG players were gathered under the turret, the IG players did not continue to destroy the turret and turned around and retreated in unison.

"The big crocodile had already activated his ultimate to build up rage at IG's F6 camp. JDG was planning to gank that spot, but IG seemed completely unaware of it."

Guan Zeyuan raised his voice: "The timing of the big crocodile's flash in position was very good, but the big crocodile went in and got kited. Kai'Sa's R target was to kill Rakan first. Rakan died. Jarvan IV used his ultimate to kill four people, but his own position was too awkward."

"The prince is also down. Imp is almost invincible in this four-on-three situation. Banana Wolf turns around and steals a Renekton's ultimate, then tries to kill Imp, but Imp's combat ability is too strong. He locks down an enemy in the Void and kills another one. Gnar's ultimate misses and hits the stopwatch on the side. And with Xayah's hook pulling Galio to death on the side, Imp is about to finish off the remaining enemies."

"This is another four kills. Imp has been incredibly strong these past two games. Even though he didn't trigger the quadra kill animation, he still managed to get all four kills."

Rita exclaimed, "imp was so decisive! He used his ultimate to engage, and the Gragas's initiation was also incredibly decisive."

"The barrel is still the best."

Guan Zeyuan nodded: "JD played very well this time. IG was forced to engage in this team fight. You could even see that when IG engaged, their Sylas and Gnar were not in good positions."

......

JDG players' lounge.

"Nice!"

Wearing headphones, Redmi practically jumped up from the chair.

He already felt that the game was at a significant disadvantage early on, with the top, mid, and jungle players being at a disadvantage, and the loss of the dragon being one of the things he had been worried about.

Fortunately, fate was on his side. The second dragon was not only a water dragon, but JackeyLove in the bottom lane also gave him a handicap.

"I told you to give it to imp's Kai'Sa, and then we'd go for the late game, right?"

Hongmi smiled as she looked at assistant coach Chen Long and analyst Wu Shuo.

HunnyPark, acting as translator, translated Redmi's words into Chinese as soon as possible.

Chen Long wasn't surprised by the team fight performance. Winning the team fight by taking the initiative and outnumbering the enemy didn't mean that imp played particularly well, but rather that Gragas initiated the fight well.

Furthermore, JackeyLove's performance in this team fight was no worse than imp's, and he even dealt more damage than imp.

This shows that IG is fully capable of fighting in direct team fights, even when they are behind in kills.

Another point is that Gnar was completely ineffective in these fast-paced team fights, which means that IG's combat capabilities are far more than that.

For a considerable period afterward, since the dragons didn't spawn and neither side intended to challenge the dragon, both sides tacitly agreed to enter the development phase, waiting for the third dragon to spawn.

The game lasted 25 minutes and 18 seconds.

JDG took advantage of their vision control and proactively attacked the dragon.

Duke used his spotlight to check the situation in the jungle, but was unexpectedly hit by imp's Kai'Sa's W while retreating.

Seeing Duke, who had no anger, Imp, who was 8-0, immediately used his ultimate ability to fly to Duke's side.

With just AQW, Duke's health dropped below 200 in an instant. Fortunately, he transformed after his rage was fully stacked and used his ultimate to stun imp against the wall.

Even though Duke turned around and used Flash to create distance from imp, Gragas had been waiting for a long time. After hitting him with his E skill, he followed up with a Q skill and killed Duke.

Killing the top laner in 25 minutes is tantamount to announcing that JDG is going to take Baron.

IG was well aware of this, so the moment Duke died, Baolan had already moved to the Baron pit to remove JDG's control ward.

It was expected that JDG would force a team fight, but unexpectedly, JackeyLove positioned himself too far forward and was caught off guard by Green Hair's Galio, who flashed and taunted him.

Forge's Sylas was also ridiculed.

As luck would have it, just as JackeyLove used Cleanse, Gragas's E-Flash came crashing into him.

This immediately reduced JackeyLove's health to half, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to unleash his ultimate and use Flash to avoid the damage from Gragas' W and other subsequent skills.

Although he survived, JackeyLove's condition made it difficult for him to participate in subsequent team fights.

At this point, if you use all your survival skills, the crocodile won't be afraid of being kited.

Zoom, having activated his ultimate, found his position and used Flash + E to approach JackeyLove. Under the damage of his empowered W, the half-health JackeyLove had no room to maneuver and was finished off.

In the divided battlefield, Ning on the left was also taken away by Imp, leaving only Forge and Baolan alive.

With the jungler dead, the Baron Nashor was essentially handed over to JDG.

With the loss of Baron Nashor, JDG's gold lead has increased to 5,000.

At this point, the situation was extremely dangerous for IG.

"JackeyLove got separated from his team at the Dragon's Nest. The exploding Gragas slowed him down, and Forge used Galio's ultimate to come and save his brother."

Guan Zeyuan raised his voice: "The Gragas uses E again, Karma uses RE, the target is her own Gragas, and she uses W to pull Ning's Jarvan IV from the side. Ning uses EQ to create distance, and the Renekton is a little hesitant to engage now."

"Kai'Sa R in! Kai'Sa and Renekton took down Ning, and Duke's Gnar was too squishy because he was building damage items. Kai'Sa activated Stopwatch in the middle of the crowd first, waiting for her skills to cool down."

JDG wiped out IG with a 0-for-5 team fight, and with the minion wave in the mid lane, imp destroyed IG's base crystal.

"Congratulations to JDG for defeating their old rivals from the 2019 Spring Split, IG, at home and continuing their winning streak!"
