On the Brink of a Beating

Those early plays had put the advantage firmly in their hands. Between the four straight ganks mid, driving Xin Zhao away to secure the Elemental Dragon, and the ultimate down bot that helped Leave claim a double kill, this game was already a 70–30 split."

Guan Zeyuan laughed. "At this point, isn't it more like 90–10...?"

Remember chuckled too. "90–10? Heh... Oh? Let's look at the live team-composition strength graph from JD.com. It puts NIP's win probability at 67%. It really favors NIP, while BLG is down at 33%—right on the brink of a beating."

The game was unfolding just as the two commentators had said. After NIP built a huge early lead, Ezreal hit his power spike ahead of schedule, and their mid and jungle were far ahead in development. BLG had little choice but to give up objectives. When the third Elemental Dragon brought NIP to soul point, BLG reluctantly took a teamfight and lost it 0–4. The game was all but over.

After scoring four kills without losing anyone, NIP turned and secured the dragon. They then summoned the Rift Herald mid, easily took the blue side's second turret, and pressed toward the base. Pantheon hopped onto the Rift Herald and rode it straight at the Inhibitor Turret. Xin Zhao, the only survivor, could only watch from afar. If he got any closer, Alistar would probably Flash in and engage on him.

Only after watching the enemy destroy the Inhibitor Turret and Inhibitor and leave did he step forward to clear the wave.

NIP recalled, upgraded their items, and headed straight for Baron Nashor.

With such a massive lead, they followed doinb's call to start on the newly spawned Baron Nashor.

If BLG stayed away, fine. If they came, NIP would abandon Baron Nashor and fight. Kill
