Chapter 170 (3)
21 minutes into the game, ZGDX was behind by 1500 gold. Then a fight broke out in jungle over the Infernal Drake– —
Team Bear had initiated the fight against the dragon. After some discussion, ZGDX decided to join the fight. Old Cat, who was currently farming in lane, was forced to use teleport. But when Bear saw the teleportation beam, they immediately decided on giving the dragon up and left!
Commentator D: [Why! Why! Just giving the dragon to ZGDX like this! Team Bear, where’s your ruthlessness! Aren’t you from a nation with fighting spirit!]
Commentator F: [This was no doubt a fortune from heaven for ZGDX…… They took down the Infernal Drake without much a fight– –Now, the only problem they have is the wards in their jungle.]
Commentato D: [The importance of a professional support has been fully demonstrated here– –Smiling has no problem with positioning. In the early game, ZGDX also enjoyed an advantage in the laning phase. Yet as the game moves on, the laning phase will soon end and then macro will become even more important, the sight advantage gained by the wards have allowed Bear to gradually get the upper hand……]
Commentator D: [Nevertheless, Tong Yao has performed quite well being entrusted with the position in such a difficult time……]
Commentator F: [ZGDX returns to base after taking down Infernal Drake. Team Bear took the chance to form 4 man group to try and take the first turret at ZGDX’s mid– –]
Commentator D: [My goodness. Looks like they’re going to lose the first turret at top!]
Commentator F: [? ? ? I just said mid– –]
The audience was in an uproar.
They had just discovered that after tricking Old Cat to teleport out of top, Bear gave up the Infernal Drake and moved back to base while ZGDX was fighting the dragon. They quickly divided into two groups, four in one group and the fifth player working alone, to take down the first turret at both top and mid lanes on ZGDX’s side!
The gap in economy between the two teams widened to almost 3000 gold all of a sudden!
A seemingly wrong decision made by Bear had an immediate reversal!
As the game continued, Bear, with the absolute advantage that their wards had given them and the fact that ZGDX was slow at assisting each other, started to have four players initiate fights as a group and have their top push turrets all over the map. At the 30th minute mark, he was able to destroy all five of ZGDX’s outer turrets in a row!
There was now a difference of 6500 gold between the two teams in Bear’s favor!
Commentator D: [ZGDX is now hanging on simply by their players’ individual skills, but they still aren’t able to initiate a fight– –They are pinned down by Bear!]
Commentator F: [That free Infernal Drake was obviously a trap.]
Commentator D: [Are we going to witness a miracle– –Could it be possible for the archer from the wild card team to shoot down the giant red dragon from above!]
The audience became animated; they stood up, raised their arms high up in the air to clap and chanted [Bear!] [Bear!] [Bear!]– –The chanting was so loud that it could almost lift up the roof of the arena! In esports, even if the team had zero fans in the beginning of the match, they could still earn cheers and applause from the audience with an excellent performance!
At 35th minute mark, ZGDX was falling behind in all lanes because Bear’s wards had pinned down ZGDX’s macro– –Just as almost everyone thought that Team Bear would for sure win this match and in China, Weibo, Tieba, and the bullet comments on all the streaming platforms were all overtaken by [? ? ? ?], Bear initiated the fight for Baron!
At this moment, all ZGDX players were alive. Any other team, even with 10,000 gold in hand, wouldn’t be bold enough to initiate the fight for Baron right in front of ZGDX– –This act gave ZGDX a chance; when Baron had only a third of its health left, Old K and Tong Yao rushed to the top of the Baron arena……
Commentator F: [Now this is ZGDX’s fight to win or die. Losing Baron would mean that they could lose this match……]
As Baron’s health dwindled, Lee Sin inserted a ward into Baron’s arena so he could jump down. At the same time, Lulu helped Lee Sin by knocking up the five Bear players who were surrounding Baron. Lee Sin cast Smite!
The audience cheered.
Commentator D jumped up from his seat and excitedly shouted: [They got it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ]
