The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 1021 Continue

He raised his head and looked around at his teammates. His cold gaze made Uzi stop blaming himself.

“So what we need to do is very simple.” Xu Mo’s voice was deep and powerful, “Break his cards, along with his hands, on the card table.”

"Leave the counter-pick slot to me."

Inside the stadium, the atmosphere had completely turned in favor of EDG. The deafening roar of "EDG" made the sporadic shouts of "RNG" seem utterly powerless.

In the commentary booth, Miller and Wawa also felt the momentum of this comeback.

"EDG has won a game! Scout's performance in the final team fight of the third game was nothing short of miraculous!" Wawa's tone was still excited. "He used pure instinct to defeat Mo Shen's almost perfect calculation! That's the charm of esports!"

Miller seemed even more worried: "Yes, but now the pressure is completely on RNG. Being caught up from 2-0 to 2-1 is a huge blow to their mentality. Especially for their two core players, Uzi and Moshen, one made a fatal mistake and the other was solo-killed by the opponent. The fourth game will be the ultimate test of their mentality."

The chat in the live stream room has gone completely crazy.

"A comeback! They came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2! EDG is awesome!"

"Fans, shout it out! We are the champions!"

"Uzi, please stop feeding, calm down!"

"Has Mo Shen fallen from grace? I think EDG has regained its confidence!"

"Stop arguing, watch the game quietly, my heart can't take it."

At the entrance to the players' tunnel, Yu Shuang, the female host in charge of the post-match interviews, had sweaty palms. She stared at the close-ups of the players on the big screen, her gaze lingering on Xu Mo's face. That usually calm face now exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay. She could sense that beneath that placid surface, a storm was brewing, a storm capable of swallowing everything. She even felt a pang of worry for EDG's future.

After a short break, both sides returned to the stage.

"Alright viewers! Welcome back! MSI Finals Game 4, the game of match point! RNG is now on the blue side!"

"EDG's victory in the last game has greatly boosted their morale! Let's take a look at the draft and ban phase in this game!"

RNG Bans: Jayce, LeBlanc, Fryego

EDG Bans: Cassiopeia, Nautilus, Sion

"Oh?! RNG banned Jayce and LeBlanc, who performed exceptionally well in the last game! They also banned Jiejie's Foygo! EDG, on the other hand, banned Moshen's Cassiopeia, which almost suffocated them, and then banned RNG's most reliable engage champions, Nautilus and Sion!"

RNG Pick (1st): Uzi - Lucian!

"Lucian! Uzi picked one of his most confident champions in this crucial game! He's aiming to dominate the lane!"

EDG Pick (1st & 2nd): Viper - Aphelios | Meiko - Thresh

"Aphelios and Thresh! EDG has chosen a combination that can counter Lucian's pressure. Thresh's lantern can provide excellent protection for Aphelios!"

RNG Picks (2nd & 3rd): Ming - Nami | Karsa - Vi

"The Luna combo! RNG has assembled the strongest lane dominance combo! And then... Vi! Karsa picked Vi! One ultimate can lock onto one person, simple, brutal, and the target is very clear!"

EDG Pick (3rd & 4th): Jiejie - Xin Zhao | Flandre - Graves

"Zhao Xin! Jiejie picked Zhao Xin, so the early game is all about fighting! Top laner Flandre picked Graves, which can effectively counter RNG's top lane pick, and his mid-game damage is explosive!"

Now, all the suspense rests on the choice of the mid laner for both sides.

EDG Pick (5th): Scout - Twisted Fate (Card Master)!

"Twisted Fate!!!" Miller exclaimed, "It's exactly as Mo Shen predicted! Scout gave up on laning kills and chose to use global support to revitalize the whole team! He's going to use his macro-level thinking to defeat RNG!"

For the last time, all eyes were focused on Xu Mo's portrait.

Galio? He can counter card entry.

Sylas? A powerful ability that can steal cards.

Tabe's voice sounded a little tense: "Mozi, pick Galio, play it safe, protect Uzi."

Xu Mo did not answer. In his eyes, there was only the card master on the screen wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a slight smile on his lips.

His mouse moved. Without the slightest hesitation, it locked onto the target.

RNG Pick (5th): Xu Mo - Syndra (Dark Sovereign)!

"Syndra!!!" Wawa's voice suddenly rose, as if she had seen something terrifying. "My God! Mo Shen picked Syndra! She's one of the mages with the highest single-target burst damage in League of Legends! He's announcing to Scout, to the whole world—"

Miller picked up where he left off, his voice trembling with excitement: "—You want to fly? Fine. But before you land, you must ask my permission! This is the purest form of destruction! It's the emperor's merciless judgment upon his challenger!"

Scout's heart skipped a beat the moment Syndra's imposing image locked onto him. He felt a chill run down his spine from the other side of the screen.

Game start!

The middle lane became a high-pressure prison.

Xu Mo's Syndra displayed a suffocating sense of oppression from level one. Unlike the previous games, he no longer pursued a stable development, but instead used his Q skill "Dark Orb" to constantly place it in Scout's last-hitting positions, forcing him to reposition.

Every time Scout tried to switch cards, a dark orb would spawn around him, as if warning him. He felt like he wasn't playing a lane matchup, but rather dancing in a minefield full of traps.

At 3 minutes and 50 seconds, Jiejie's Xin Zhao came to the mid lane, wanting to gank in conjunction with Twisted Fate's yellow card.

But Xu Mo's vision control was flawless. The moment Zhao Xin appeared, he didn't retreat, but instead took a step forward and used his E skill "Scatter the Weak" precisely to push Scout away, who had just walked up. At the same time, the flying orb accurately stunned Zhao Xin in his charging path!

"One push, two kills! My god! Mo Shen used a QE combo to neutralize EDG's mid-jungle synergy! Scout didn't even get to use his yellow card!"

Scout's forehead was beaded with cold sweat. He realized he didn't even have time to glance at the side lanes. If his attention wandered away from the mid lane for more than 0.5 seconds, Syndra's orb would slam into his face.

At 6 minutes and 30 seconds, Scout finally reached level six. He seized the opportunity when the Luna duo was pushing the lane and activated his ultimate, "Fate"!

The Eye of Destiny for the cards is lighting up on the map!

"Scout is about to fly to the bottom lane! Uzi and Ming are in danger!"

However, just as Scout chose his landing spot, Xu Mo's cold voice rang out in RNG's team voice chat:

"Ignore the bot lane. Karsa, come to mid. Letme, push the lane."

The card disappeared in the mid lane. Almost at the same time, Karsa's Vi rushed out of the mid lane bush and punched EDG's mid lane tower.

Scout's Twisted Fate landed, and together with the bot lane duo, they successfully forced Uzi back, but failed to secure a kill. When he returned to his lane, he saw a mid lane tower with only half health remaining, and a Syndra who had completely outclassed him in levels and items.

This was a successful support move, but EDG felt they had lost out.

At 13 minutes, the second dragon (Hextech Dragon) spawned. Both sides gathered in the river.

Flandre's Graves kept poking from the flanks, while Viper's Aphelios used his Blue Blade to whittle down RNG's front line's health.

Scout took a deep breath; he knew his chance had come. He activated his ultimate ability once more, intending to flank and, with Graves' help, eliminate Uzi first.

"Twisted Fate has flown away again! He's looking for Uzi!"

Just as Scout's body materialized behind RNG—

Xu Mo moved.

He ignored his teammates who were struggling in the dragon pit; his eyes were only on the card that was about to land.

flash!

Xu Mo's Syndra decisively teleported forward the instant the card landed in the animation!

QE!

The power of the Dark Orb and the Weakness Retreat erupted simultaneously! Scout, who had just landed, was stunned on the spot before he could even cast a yellow card!

"He's stunned! Mo Shen's Flash + QE combo stunned Twisted Fate!"

Scout was terrified and frantically pressed on the golden statue.

But Xu Mo was faster than him.

W skill: Grab the magic orb from the ground and slam it down.

Immediately afterwards, he pressed the button that represented destruction.

R - "Energy Unleashed!"

One, two, three, four, five, six dark orbs, like death messengers summoned by a king, converged into a torrent that annihilated everything, instantly devouring Scout's cards!

The screen instantly turned gray.

Scout stared blankly at his death replay; he hadn't even managed to activate Zhonya's Hourglass.

"Instant kill!!!" The doll's voice cracked. "Full health, instant kill! Mo Shen used an unreasonable combo to vaporize the card within 0.1 seconds of it landing! He didn't even give you a chance to use your invulnerability skill!"

Without Twisted Fate, EDG's formation was thrown into disarray. Karsa's Vi activated her ultimate, like a homing missile, locking onto Viper's Aphelios.

"Tianba blasted across the sky!"

Uzi's Lucian activated his ultimate ability, "The Holy Lance," unleashing a barrage of bullets.

"Double Kill!"

"Triple Kill!"

RNG pulled off a perfect 0-for-5! They wiped out EDG!

"It's over! The match is completely over!" Miller's voice trembled with excitement. "RNG, with a perfect team fight, is about to lift their championship trophy!"

Inside the Busan Gymnasium, RNG fans had already stood up, their glow sticks creating a golden sea. The live chat was already flooded with messages of "Congratulations RNG!"

RNG's players beamed with the joy of victory. Instead of recalling, they headed straight for the Baron pit. With a nearly 10,000 gold lead and all five players in good condition, securing the Baron would bring this glorious victory to a perfect close.

"RNG is going for Baron! They're going to end the game in the safest way possible!" Wawa shouted. "EDG's respawn time is too long, this Baron... is in!"

However, just as Baron Nash's health dropped to half, the team that had created the miracle did not give up.

In the lounge, Clearlove spoke into the microphone, her voice eerily calm: "Jiejie, Meiko, get ready. This is our last chance. Viper, Flandre, you have only one mission—to survive."

In EDG's fountain, Jiejie and Meiko bought their equipment at almost the same time and rushed out.

"EDG hasn't given up! Are they going to try and steal the dragon? How can two people steal it?"

Inside the dragon pit, the RNG players seemed somewhat relaxed. Uzi's Lucian even stepped out of the pit, intending to harass any potential enemies at the jungle entrance.

Just then, a ghostly green hook pierced the darkness from the fog of war and flew toward the Dragon Pit!

"Meiko's hook! Who did he hook? Not Baron... but Karsa's Vi!"

This hook, with its tricky angle, wasn't meant to kill, but to displace him! Karsa's body was suddenly pulled towards the wall, interrupting his charged Q skill and causing him to subtly shift away from Baron's position!

"Great hook!" Scout shouted excitedly when he saw this from the fountain.

Immediately afterwards, Jiejie's Xin Zhao, like an arrow released from a bow, used his E skill "Fearless Charge" not to target Baron Nashor, but to target Karsa who had been hooked!

"what!"

The moment Zhao Xin dashed into position, his ultimate ability "Crescent Guardian" was suddenly activated!

A silver spearhead swept out, knocking back Letme, Xu Mo, and Uzi from the dragon pit! Only his target—Karsa—remained inside the circle.

This ultimate move isn't for dealing damage, but for creating an absolutely safe "absolute territory" where only he, Karsa, and Baron Nashor are present!

"My God! What kind of teamwork is this?! Hook dash, Xin Zhao uses his ultimate to isolate the battlefield! Jiejie is going to risk Smite!" Miller had already stood up!

Karsa was terrified. He wanted to use Smite, but Xin Zhao's damage combined with Baron's attack caused his health to drop rapidly. He was forced to choose between Smite and healing himself.

It was that fraction of a second of hesitation!

Jiejie's punishment was brilliant!

Baron Nash let out a mournful cry as the purple buff landed precisely on all five members of EDG!

"They stole it!!! Jiejie stole the Baron!!! In the most desperate moment, EDG's jungler and support used an unbelievable teamwork to steal the Baron from RNG, which would decide the outcome of the battle!" Wawa's voice was completely hoarse!

Busan Stadium froze for a moment, then the blue zone belonging to EDG fans erupted in a thunderous cheer!

"??????"

"Holy crap! They can steal this?!"

"Meiko! Jiejie! You are gods!"

"My heart... is about to stop!"

The chat exploded instantly, turning from "Congratulations RNG" into a screen full of question marks and exclamations.

Jiejie, having secured the dragon, didn't linger in the fight. He immediately flashed over the wall, where Meiko's Thresh caught him with a lantern, allowing the two to escape with a narrow escape.

On the main battlefield, the situation reversed instantly!

The defeated RNG players tried to regroup and launch an offensive, but Flandre and Viper, who had obtained the Baron buff, had already arrived.

Flandre's Graves landed a smoke grenade precisely at Uzi's feet, and Viper's Aphelios switched to the red and white blade, activated Fahrenheit, and instantly maximized his damage!

"RNG's formation is in disarray! They were ruined by their own underestimation of their opponents!"

Uzi's Lucian lost vision in the smoke grenade and was slowly killed by Viper. Xu Mo's Syndra, despite her extremely high damage, was powerless against two monstrous frontliners with the Baron buff.

Ultimately, EDG achieved a 2-for-4 exchange, with only Xu Mo's Syndra managing a narrow escape. (End of Chapter)
