Chapter 1020 Right or Wrong

In the mid lane, Scout's LeBlanc displayed immense pressure from level one. He used his W skill to step in and unleash an AQ combo, whittling down Xu Mo's health.

However, Xu Mo's Cassiopeia countered flawlessly. He maintained a delicate distance, and the moment LeBlanc's W came in, he took a half step back and landed a Q skill "Plague Explosion," while simultaneously accelerating and retaliating with his E skill "Twin Fangs."

After several exchanges of blows, both sides were almost evenly matched. But everyone could see that Scout was having a very difficult time. Every time he initiated a fight, Cassiopeia neutralized it with minimal cost and launched a precise counterattack.

At 3 minutes and 30 seconds, Jiejie's Foygo finished the red buff and went straight to the mid lane.

"Jiejie is here! EDG's strongest mid-jungle duo is about to make their move!"

Scout understood immediately, using W to move forward, Q to apply a mark, and simultaneously using E, "Phantom Chains," to try and chain the Cassiopeia and create an opportunity for Jiejie!

Just as the chain was about to strike, Xu Mo, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, made an extreme right-angle movement and twisted the deadly chain away!

Immediately afterwards, instead of retreating, he placed his W skill "Poisonous Mist" at his feet!

A cloud of green poisonous fog instantly blocked Jiejie Foygo's advance route.

"Beautiful! Mo Shen's operation was so calm! He dodged the chains with a single movement and used his W to deter Foyego! He perfectly neutralized this gank all by himself!" Wawa exclaimed.

Scout's heart sank. His crucial E skill missed, and the coordinated attack failed. Meanwhile, Karsa's Lee Sin seized the opportunity to invade Jiejie's upper jungle and steal a camp of F6.

The gap is widening little by little in this silent game.

At 8 minutes, the first dragon (fire dragon) spawned. The first team fight broke out between the two sides in the bottom lane river.

Scout's LeBlanc circled around to the flank, looking for an opportunity to engage Uzi's Kai'Sa. But Ming's Nautilus stood like a gatekeeper, holding onto his Q hook, preventing Scout from making any rash moves.

On the front, Letme's Sion activated his ultimate, charging towards EDG's formation like a runaway train.

EDG was forced to retreat. Just then, Xu Mo's Cassiopeia seized the opportunity and flashed forward!

R - "Petrifying Gaze"!

A dazzling white light flashed!

Scout reacted incredibly quickly, turning his back the instant the Cassiopeia flashed, thus avoiding the petrification effect. However, Viper's Aphelios and Meiko's Nami couldn't dodge and were instantly frozen in place!

"R-flash! Mo Shen has caught EDG's bot lane duo!"

Karsa's Lee Sin reacted to the sound, hitting the petrified Nami with his Q skill, and then using his R-flash "Dragon Tail" to kick her back!

Uzi's Kai'Sa unleashed a barrage of missiles, instantly killing him!

RNG scored a 0-for-1 trade and successfully secured the first Infernal Dragon!

"EDG is at a disadvantage again! Their poke composition hasn't even reached its power spike yet, and RNG's team fights are already unstoppable!"

The rest of the match completely fell into RNG's rhythm. They used their early advantage to constantly invade the jungle and snowball their lead. Xu Mo's Cassiopeia became a nightmare for everyone on EDG.

At 15 minutes, a team fight broke out in the mid lane. Scout's LeBlanc found an excellent opportunity, using WR to engage and unleashing a full combo on Uzi's Kai'Sa, instantly crippling her.

Just as Scout was about to make a graceful exit with his second W, a cloud of green poisonous mist landed precisely on the mark left by his W.

"Bind to the ground!"

Scout's face turned deathly pale. He was trapped on the spot!

"Do not!!!"

After being shielded by Nautilus, Uzi's Kai'Sa immediately activated her ultimate and flew to LeBlanc's face, melting her with the continuous damage from Xu Mo's Cassiopeia!

"Scout was outmaneuvered! Mo Shen predicted the location where he would return with W! This is an intellectual crushing defeat!" Miller's voice was filled with shock.

After this wave, EDG's mental defenses completely collapsed.

At 22 minutes, RNG, with the Baron buff, ganked the city.

On the high ground, Xu Mo's Cassiopeia was like a ruthless monarch. Her W skill's poison mist covered the entire area in front of the high ground tower, making it impossible for EDG to move an inch. Her Q skill's plague rained down relentlessly, and her E skill's twin fangs eroded their health and willpower.

Scout's LeBlanc, after being resurrected, didn't even dare to take another step forward. Her prized trickery seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this poisonous field.

"Is it over? RNG is going to win the MSI championship 3-0!" Wawa's voice was full of excitement.

"EDG has no room to maneuver anymore. Cassiopeia's ground-binding ability is a disaster for their poke composition..." Miller's words were cut short as the situation on the field suddenly changed!

Perhaps blinded by victory, or perhaps fueled by an inner aggressive drive, a glint of killing intent flashed in Uzi's eyes. He saw Meiko's Nami move slightly forward to place a protective ward.

opportunity!

"I can kill!" Uzi roared in the team voice chat.

Kai'Sa activated her ultimate ability, "Hunter's Instinct," and instantly vanished into thin air, charging towards Nami's location!

"Uzi flew in! He's going to force a team fight!"

However, the instant Kai'Sa landed, a massive electric net descended from the sky! Flandre's Jayce, who had been waiting in the rear, unleashed an enhanced QE double "Electric Shock," precisely striking Kai'Sa in the face!

789!

A terrifying critical hit number popped up! Uzi's Kai'Sa's health instantly evaporated by more than half!

"A trap! This is a trap!" Miller exclaimed. "EDG used their support as bait and caught RNG's most crucial carry!"

Scout's LeBlanc was like a cheetah activated, stepping on her W skill and striking with precise chains! Jiejie's Foygo also emerged from the shadows, his target Uzi!

"Uzi is in danger!"

Ming's Titan reacted with lightning speed, flashing forward and using his body to block Uzi. His ultimate "Deep Sea Impact" knocked up Fryegor, and his Q skill "Clear the Channel" hooked him to the wall, trying to create an escape space for Uzi.

But EDG's killing intent was unwavering! Viper's Aphelios switched to the red and white blades (Soul Breaker/Falling Light), flashed forward, and Fahrenheit instantly activated!

In the end, Ming's Titan sacrificed his life to defend Uzi's retreat, but RNG's Baron push came to an abrupt end as a result.

"RNG was too hasty!" Wawa sighed in regret. "They could have steadily chipped away at the high ground, but Uzi's impulsive move gave EDG a chance to catch their breath!"

This narrow but successful defensive play was like a powerful electric shock to revive EDG's dying heart.

Clearlove slowly relaxed his clenched fists backstage. Speaking into the microphone, his voice was calm: "See? They make mistakes too. Stay calm, stall for time, our time is up."

Time has become EDG's most loyal friend.

RNG's Baron buff has disappeared, while EDG's three core items are rapidly taking shape. Flandre's Jayce has Manamune, Youmuu's Ghostblade, and Duskblade in hand, and a single enhanced cannon shot is simply too much for squishy champions to handle. Viper's Aphelios has also built Infinity Edge and Bloodthirster, resulting in a significant damage boost.

At 28 minutes, the fourth dragon (Earth Dragon) spawned, but neither side intended to engage in a team fight. RNG was wary of EDG's poke, while EDG wanted to continue stalling for time.

The Elder Dragon spawned at 32 minutes.

The air in the entire Busan Stadium seemed to freeze. Everyone knew that this dragon would determine the final outcome of the match. The side that captured the Dragon Soul would have the absolute power to end the game.

"The final battle is here! The ownership of the MSI championship will depend on this team fight!" Miller's voice was a little hoarse from tension.

RNG secured the dragon pit first, with Letme's Sion at the forefront and Karsa's Lee Sin waiting for an opportunity to strike.

EDG deployed their formation outside the dragon pit. Flandre's Jayce stood at the maximum distance, constantly harassing the enemy with his cannon fire. Scout's LeBlanc appeared and disappeared in the shadows on the flank, like a dagger ready to be drawn at any moment.

"We can't wait any longer! Letme has started the group buy!"

Letme's Sion activated his ultimate, "Rampage," charging towards EDG's backline like a prehistoric behemoth!

"Drive! Drive!"

However, just as Sion was about to collide with Viper, Meiko's Nami used a predicted Q skill, "Azure Prison," to precisely control the charging Sion halfway through his charge with a bubble!

RNG's initiative was perfectly countered!

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

EDG's counterattack has begun! Flandre's Jayce switched to hammer form, flashed in, and with a combo of skills combined with Jiejie's Fryegor, instantly melted Letme!

RNG's front line has collapsed!

"Karsa! Look at Karsa!"

Karsa's Lee Sin spotted Viper in the crowd and landed a precise Q skill, Sonic Wave!

"R flash! He's going to kick Viper back!"

However, just as Karsa was about to press the R key after using his second Q to fly towards Viper, Scout moved.

This time, he didn't target Uzi. His target was the man who had been making him feel like he had a thorn in his side the entire game—Xu Mo.

He knew that as long as Cassiopeia lived, RNG would always have a core player in team fights.

Scout didn't rush to use W to engage. He pressed R, copying the W skill's Shadow Step, creating a fake figure that charged towards Uzi on the flank!

This is a scam!

Xu Mo's pupils contracted sharply. Almost instinctively, he laid down a W-shaped "Poisonous Mist" towards the fake LeBlanc mark. He was too confident, confident in his every prediction about LeBlanc.

However, it was this fraction of a second of ingrained thinking that became his only weakness in the game.

"Now!" Scout roared in his mind.

The instant his W skill's cooldown was ready, he moved! The true Shadow Step stomped towards the Cassiopeia who had lost the protection of her W skill!

QE! The mark explodes, and the chain strikes precisely!

"What?!" Xu Mo was shocked. He hadn't expected Scout to use such a bold method to bait out his key skill! He wanted to use his ultimate to counterattack, but the double restraint of the chains rendered him unable to move!

"Scout solo-killed Mo Shen!!!" Wawa's voice was filled with disbelief and shock. "In the most crucial team fight, Scout used his instincts and skills to overcome Mo Shen's scheme!"

With the Cassiopeia down, RNG's formation completely collapsed.

Uzi's Kai'Sa, without Cassiopeia's area control, was instantly exposed to EDG's firepower. Viper's Aphelios had already switched to the Green and White Blade (Azure/Soulbreaker), and the extremely long attack range combined with the Flying Dagger resulted in explosive damage!

"The moonlight condenses in the night!"

Viper's ultimate skill precisely hit Uzi and Ming, and the moonlight shone down, instantly dealing massive damage!

"Quadra Kill!!!"

Viper's Aphelios, protected by his teammates, was like a god descending to earth, securing a quadra kill!

"ACE! EDG wiped out RNG!"

At Busan Stadium, deafening cheers erupted from the EDG fan section. The emotions they had suppressed for three whole games were completely released at this moment!

"A comeback! EDG is about to turn the tide!"

Having secured the Elder Dragon and Baron Nashor, EDG was unstoppable. With both dragons at their disposal, they pushed down the mid lane. RNG, having just respawned, could only watch helplessly as their base crystal shattered amidst a devastating wave of minions.

1-2!

EDG pulled one back from the brink of defeat!

When the word "defeat" lit up, the RNG players' bench fell into a deathly silence. Uzi angrily slammed his headphones on the table, his chest heaving. He knew that his initial impulsiveness had given the opponent an opening.

Ming and Letme had their heads down, while Karsa was repeatedly watching the replay of the final team fight.

Only Xu Mo sat quietly in his chair, his face expressionless. He stared at his gray screen, the image of being solo-killed by Scout replaying in his mind.

It wasn't a mistake in execution, but rather a rigid mindset. He was too confident in his own "calculations" and ignored the "instinct" his opponent unleashed in dire situations.

It turns out that even the most sophisticated calculations can be thwarted by the purest intuition.

The Nightingale people must really enjoy seeing this, right? Seeing that the "monster" they created is not invincible.

A chilling rage slowly rose from the depths of Xu Mo's heart. It wasn't anger towards his teammates, nor towards his opponents, but towards himself.

He slowly, one finger at a time, clenched his fists, making a "crunching" sound.

In the fourth round, he wanted to show them what a "monster" would look like when he was truly enraged.

Backstage, in RNG's rest room after the defeat, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive. Uzi was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot. He stopped throwing things and just pounded his thigh with his fist. Ming was beside him, wanting to comfort him but unsure how to begin.

On the other side, coach Tabe was frantically drawing something on the whiteboard, then frantically erasing it. He knew the team's mentality had gone awry. The overwhelming momentum that had started in the first set had been completely shattered in the comeback victory in the third set.

“My question.” Xu Mo’s voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked at him.

He sat in a chair in the corner, his face devoid of the calm of the first two games, replaced by a chilling coldness. His eyes were like two bottomless, icy pools.

“I was too careless,” he said slowly. “I treated him as a player who could only follow the rules, but I forgot that he was also a world champion who fought his way out of a mountain of corpses.”

He stood up, walked over to Tabe, took the pen from his hand, and drew a hero portrait on the whiteboard—Twisted Fate, the Card Master.

"In the next game, Scout will use this. He won't dare pick a mechanically demanding assassin to lane against me anymore; he'll choose to use his brain and support to defeat us." Xu Mo spoke slowly, but every word carried an undeniable certainty. "Clearlove will make him do that; it's EDG's only way to win right now." (End of Chapter)
