Crushing HLE

Sion charged in decisively, and no one on HLE could stop him. In the end, Sion crashed into Alistar. Even though Alistar activated his ultimate, Lucian dashed up and, together with the AoE damage from Rabbit's ultimate, instantly killed him. Meanwhile, after HLE and their turret had attacked for so long, Sion still had half his health left.

At that moment, Vi locked on as well. He did not target Ezreal, instead directly locking onto the frontline Skarner.

Locking onto Ezreal would naturally have been better, but ez was hiding at the very back. Besides, with this kind of gold lead and Lucian having built armor penetration, it did not really matter who he targeted.

Skarner was no match for Lucian either. Under the chain of crowd control, he was melted before he could even use his ultimate or Flash.

The remaining Azir kept poking away. Vi landed a stylish Q-Flash right in his face, making him stagger. Braum threw out his ultimate and knocked Azir airborne, followed immediately by Lucian's rat-a-tat-tat ultimate, which left Azir at critical health.

In the nick of time, Azir used his ultimate, then WEQ and Flash, successfully escaping back to the fountain.

By then, Jax had also died beneath the turret. Only ez and Azir remained in the fountain, watching helplessly as all five members of NIP destroyed their Nexus.

Guan Zeyuan's excited shout rang out in the livestream. "Let's congratulate NIP on taking the first game and securing the opening victory!"

"That's right, congratulations to NIP!"

Wang Duoduo said excitedly as well.

He had not expected such a smooth win against an LCK team. Before the game began, he had been pessimistic about NIP. After all, Hanwha had Zeus in the top lane, Zeka in mid, and Viper in bot—every one of them
