Chapter 90: MSI Finals (7)

“Normally, both junglers would contest the Scuttler as soon as it spawned, but it seems neither is interested.”

“Even though Nidalee is taking her bottom-side jungle camps and the dragon, Sejuani can’t contest the Scuttler because Renekton is playing too aggressively in the top lane.”

“Caster is performing exceptionally well this game!”

“I casted CK matches last year, and back then, Renekton was Caster’s most-played champion. After Para joined, he transitioned to a full-tank role since she could handle both playmaking and damage.”

[He’s surprisingly good with Renekton.]

[His 11 consecutive Renekton games in CK were legendary.]

[Nobody banned it?]

[Why would they ban a trash-tier champion after the recent patch?]

[He still had a 50% win rate with him.]

[Besides Para, the other ARK members are also surprisingly skilled lol]

“It seems they’re trying to punish Renekton for overextending.”

“Sejuani is moving top, but Camille is also low on health. If they’re not careful, they’ll both die!”

[Are they trying to dive Caster?]

[Can they kill him with two people?]

[Seems risky.]

[Renekton has full fury; this seems desperate from VXG.]

“Renekton ults as soon as he sees Sejuani!”

“Camille’s hookshot lands, and Sejuani engages!”

“But Caster survives thanks to the bonus health from Dominus!”

“Empowered W followed by a full combo! He kills Camille first! A true massacre!”

“Can he get both of them?!”

[Wak wak!]

[Level 6 Renekton is still in his prime.]

[He wins the 2v1!]

[This is the Renekton we know!]

“He even kills Sejuani, who flashed in aggressively!”

“Camille was at half health, and they heard the call about dragon being taken, so they were desperate! But what is Renekton’s ultimate called?”

“Dominus! He becomes a god!”

“That’s right. He’s picked solely for his early-game ultimate, and at this stage, he’s practically invincible, so it’s only natural that a risky gank like this gets punished!”

“Level 6 Renekton is truly powerful.”

“Renekton’s empowered W not only destroys shields, but also deals damage based on the shield’s strength, which allowed him to cleanly kill Camille.”

“Ah, so it deals damage and destroys the shield?”

“Yes, so even against Morgana’s Black Shield, it deals damage and applies the stun.”

“Thanks for the quick tip.”

[Even a Bronze player can understand this god-tier commentary.]

[‘I’ll win.’]

[Renekton, empowered by the government.]

[Top lane is secured lol]

“Those two kills in top lane are huge. It’s like Renekton single-handedly shut down Camille and Sejuani, the core of their engage comp.”

“Caster always delivers when it matters!”

“He’s showing us why he’s an LCK champion top laner.”

---

“Double kill top.”

“No way, you killed both of them?”

“The Great Jin-hwan!”

“Top lane is over!”

My teammates cheered at the double kill top, timed perfectly with the Scuttler spawn.

‘They were desperate.’

Knowing Nidalee was taking the dragon must have been frustrating.

But even so, to have Camille, at half health, hookshot into a level 6 Renekton?

That was suicide.

‘Level 6 Renekton is a god.’

Even if Camille could negate one of Renekton’s skills, she should still die to his empowered W.

And there was no way Sejuani, having already used her E, could kill a Renekton with Conqueror stacks.

“Nice! Once I finish this recall, we’ll have priority in mid.”

We had already built a significant lead in the jungle through early invades, and our bot lane was holding steady.

And mid lane, with tier 2 boots at level 9, we were about to take control of all three lanes.

“I’m taking the Scuttler too.”

Thanks to the double kill top, we secured the dragon and the Scuttler without any contest, accelerating the game’s tempo.

‘Are they just going to scale passively?’

Orianna, wary of a solo kill, was farming under her tower.

While it was a safe approach, being under tower meant she was immobile.

“Can we dive bot?”

“The wave is huge.”

Checking the map, I saw a massive minion wave bot side and called for a dive.

The enemy jungler was top side at Rift Herald, and Orianna was farming mid.

It was a free dive.

“Does Camille have Teleport?”

“No, no. Sejuani is top side at Rift Herald; let’s do it.”

“Orianna also doesn’t have Teleport and is stuck mid.”

“I’m using my ult.”

An ominous sound played as a fan-shaped range indicator appeared.

Zeri’s ultimate, Curtain Call, pressured the enemy even if it wasn’t used immediately.

My role in this dive was…

“I’ll try to bait Nautilus’ ult!”

I used my E, having stacked my Q on jungle camps while rotating.

The enemy tried to dodge, but they were under tower; there was nowhere to go. I landed my Q and followed up with my ultimate.

“Nautilus ulted me!”

I was tanking the tower, so Nautilus naturally ulted me, but…

‘Yone is meant to be played with style.’

I E’d back out, dodging the ult and escaping safely.

If I had mistimed it even slightly and been knocked up, I would have died, but I used my E’s unstoppable effect to survive.

We killed the enemy bot lane, pushing all three lanes, including a cannon wave, securing a massive advantage.

Top lane was secured with a 2v1 outplay.

The jungle had a two-level lead.

Bot lane was now falling behind after the dive.

‘Orianna won’t be able to leave her tower once we start roaming…’

…since even with Camille’s help, Sejuani couldn’t kill me alone.

We snowballed our lead and easily won Game 3.

Title: Para looking hot after Game 3

(GIF of Para fanning herself after taking off her headset)

[Japan in April can be hot.]

[Don’t they have AC in the arena?]

[They keep it moderate so the players’ hands don’t get stiff.]

[By Game 3 of a best-of-five, you’re definitely warmed up.]

[She doesn’t care about her image at all. She just brushed her bangs back because she was hot.]

[Still beautiful, though, right?]

LOL Gallery

Title: If ARK had this top laner, would it have been different?

That top laner is none other than Bon.

If Bon were here, they would have 3-0’d VXG, and we’d be admiring Para’s face right now. <<< Upvote

Is Caster, who gets stuck with weak-side picks and then pulls off a 2v1 outplay on Renekton, a pushover? <<< Downvote

[Caster in Game 3 even put Spread in his place.]

[Is The Cabbage a pushover?]

[Bon beat that Cabbage and made it to the finals.]

[Wasn’t that a fluke and a Para carry?]

[What are you talking about? Bon dominated the Cabbage on Aatrox and KSante.]

[Wasn’t that because his ultimate was broken?]

LOL Gallery

Title: ARK, abandoned by the heavens in Game 4

(VXG’s Xayah, with 25% crit chance, gets multiple crits in a teamfight and wipes ARK.)

If it weren’t for the crits, ARK would have won that fight and the game. All those squishy champions died to a single auto-attack, and the game exploded.

[Is this rigged?]

[I’ve seen games where a 75% crit chance champion misses three crits in a row.]

[Is this a bug?]

[This completely ruins ARK’s comp.]

[Para has to carry again lol]

LOL Gallery

Title: Para carrying yet again

(Para’s Azir Shurima Shuffling the enemy team during a Baron attempt and cleaning up)

Sigh… you’re carrying again, even when top, jungle, and bot are all inting?

Finding an opportunity to turn the game around even when everyone else has given up… she plays like a seasoned veteran, not a high school girl.

Para <<< There’s no point in hating on her anymore.

[Wow, that shuffle was insane.]

[She just wants to carry…]

[Azir’s damage is insane.]

[With four items and a Deathcap, it would be weird if he wasn’t strong.]

LOL Gallery

Title: Game 4 results jpg…

The epic match, lasting over 55 minutes, ends with a Spread backdoor.

The finals is going to Game 5!

[Jax (0-5-3): Carried.]

[Spread popped off this game, even with the constant backdoors lol]

[Both teams played well, but if it weren’t for the unlucky crits early on, ARK would have won.]

[Para landed two Shurima Shuffles and still lost.]

[Hoon played well on Orianna too lol]

[If I were Para, I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.]
