DMO took Baron Nashor, LNG took Elder Dragon, and neither side interfered with the other.

The reason DMO made the decision to replace Baron Nashor with Elder Dragon is because Elder Dragon in this version not only lacks the execute effect, but also has a shorter duration than Baron Nashor.

After DMO secured Baron Nashor, they avoided fighting due to LNG's Elder Dragon buff.

The moment the Elder Dragon buff ended for LNG, DMO first destroyed LNG's top lane second turret, and then perfectly took advantage of the last seventeen seconds of the Baron buff to allow Twila's Ryze to use his ultimate to destroy LNG's high ground.

Yang Jingyu looked around the lounge with great satisfaction, because the situation seemed to be almost stable.

Just when he thought everything was settled, Twila ran into another major problem.

Although they destroyed their high ground tower, LNG's damage output is also very high. When DMO was pushing the top lane crystal, they were hit by a combo from LNG, and all of them were low on health. DMO decided to retreat, but the crystal had not yet been destroyed.

The moment DMO took down LNG's high ground, Sofm's pillar blocked Twila's position, forcing Twila to use Flash.

The instant Ryze landed with Flash, Flandre's Pyke hooked him back.

This Ryze has Stopwatch, Seraph's Embrace, and Righteous Glory, making him incredibly tanky.

This prevented LNG from immediately eliminating Ryze, while Ale's Kennen entered the fray with his Thunderfury.

His intention was simply to cover Ryze's retreat; he didn't flash in to deliver a devastating blow to LNG.

But Ah Le underestimated the damage of plex. His Neeko was also a Six God, and a Six God with a hat.

Ah Le was bound by Neeko's E skill, Entangling Spikes, and was forced to activate Zhonya's Hourglass.

Twila managed to escape during this time, but Ashura's Kai'Sa had already flown over. With six items, Ashura took down Twila, bringing Twila's score to 2-9, which is quite astonishing even in the entire league.

After Ah Le's invincibility ended, even though he used Flash to get over the wall, he was still killed by Flandre with a wall-penetrating slash.

The fact that Holy Gunner had the Night's Edge item prevented DMO from dealing damage to him immediately.

Although Olaf tried his best to kill Asura's Kai'Sa, it was no use. Asura's Kai'Sa was too agile, with Flash, Cleanse, and her E skill Overload. Olaf's axes couldn't slow down Asura, and he was instead kited to low health by Asura. Helpless, he could only Flash into the Baron pit to escape.

Gala tried his best to deal damage, but against heroes like Troll Warlord, Neeko, and Nautilus, he couldn't find a good position to deal damage and quickly met his end.

In this team fight, LNG miraculously achieved a 0-for-4 exchange. During this time, the respawn time was extremely long, with everyone except the support having more than 50 seconds left. Xiao Duan even managed to prevent Xiao Peng from recalling to base.

Even a support Titan managed to trigger Xiao Peng's Resurrection Armor.

With LNG pushing forward with the mid-lane minion wave, they destroyed DMO's base at 44 minutes and 16 seconds.

After the first game ended, Twila sat blankly in her seat, watching the main crystal being destroyed. Looking at her score of 2-9, she felt lost and helpless.

When the camera focused on Twila, Yang Jingyu realized that Twila's Dao Heart had been damaged.

Twila is an extremely strong mid-laner in LDL. Since joining LPL in the Spring Split of S9, he has been constantly taught a lesson by LPL mid-laners in various creative ways. It can be said that the strength of LPL and LDL is not even in the same league.

It's incredibly difficult for LDL players to achieve good results in the LPL.

Unless you're a super genius, like a player like Left Hand.

Even someone as strong as Zuo Shou spent a whole year on the bench after joining Suning!

Looking at Twila's expression on the screen, Yang Jingyu could naturally understand his feelings at that moment, just as he had felt the same way back then.

To be precise, there are differences even among geniuses.

You are a genius, but there are even more geniuses than you.

Back in the rest room, all five DMO players were exhausted, not only because the game had lasted a long time, but also because they had lost the first game.

They had a chance to win this game, but they made mistakes at various points, with the biggest mistake being in the mid lane.

Fortunately, Ah Le was new to the team, so he wouldn't criticize his teammates.

Based on his personality during his time at OMG, he and Twila would have already had a falling out in the top and mid lanes.

This match against LNG doesn't seem important, since it's just a regular season game.

But in reality, every single game is crucial for DMO.

Many teams failed to accumulate enough points to enter the playoffs because they relaxed and became complacent before the start of the season.

And if we can enter the playoffs with a high ranking, why play several more best-of-five series?

Are you trying to improve your feel for the game?

To be honest, it's easy to mess up if you're not careful. This is the Summer Split playoffs, and messing up means you won't be able to go to Worlds, which is a terrible consequence.

It's understandable that they can't go to MSI, after all, there's only one champion team.

If you can't go to the World Championship, it means all your efforts this year have been in vain, and no professional player would accept that.

Yang Jingyu watched them enter listlessly, then ignored them and walked straight out of the lounge.

Bai stood up and looked in the direction Yang Jingyu had left.
