Chapter Title: JaNachGwae Finals - 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The first set wrapped up with a smooth victory for the "Gubaek-i & Yuchulz" team.
Bot had blown all their spells early and still got dived, and from there they kept getting rolled relentlessly.
With TPE's pathing sealing off top lane too, it was straight-up hell—no exaggeration.
But the second set was no walk in the park.
The "Prince Maker" team came back determined, marking Da-jeong heavily.
Above all, they took strong bot picks to smash the lane in reverse, and the snowball from there just kept growing out of control.
And so the crucial third set—the real turning point—finally began.
The "Gubaek-i & Yuchulz" team buzzed with lively discussion.
Sure, it was tied now, but that wasn't enough to kill their fire.
"Lulu, whatcha picking? They all-in banned enemy mid again."
"I'm thinking Taliyah."
"Taliyah? Nice. Then let's ditch bot entirely this time and go full top carry? Bandit, you down?"
"Kuh, finally time to unsheathe the blade."
After a quick ban-pick huddle, they settled on a top-focused game plan for this one.
Da-jeong was the ace of the team, sure.
But objectively, the highest tier and highest potential player was none other than Bandit.
"So top, what you want? We'll see counter-picks, but hit me."
"Aatrox? Enemy top's obviously tanking anyway."
"Solid."
"Yeah, sounds good to me too!"
Picks rolled in: "Prince Maker" grabbed Ornn, Lee Sin, Viktor, Aphelios, and Thresh.
"Gubaek-i & Yuchulz" snagged Aatrox, Sejuani, Taliyah, Ashe, and Alistar.
"Both teams' ban-picks were super clean this time. Thoughts?"
"Yeah, 'Prince Maker' went balanced. Late-game carry on Viktor and Aphelios, tank with Ornn, patching early weakness with Lee Sin. Thresh adds some chaos potential too."
"Meanwhile, 'Gubaek-i & Yuchulz' picked straight-up fight champs. Everything's skirmish-strong. Key will be how they play early-to-mid."
"Got it! Let's see how it unfolds—third set, go!"
Countdown hit zero, and the game kicked off.
Both teams warded invade paths routinely and settled into lane.
"Bro, enemy's got ward-denier buff, we got ward buff on top—push it low? I'll full-vision it and gank ASAP, so trade aggressive."
"Got it."
Jung Jin-nam dropped precise jungler calls.
Bandit swung his massive blade right away, pressuring trades.
They scrapped back and forth until both were hovering around 50% HP.
"Nyangta unnie, pull bot. Enemy jungler's inbound soon."
"Yeah, Komppang—last hits only now."
"Roger!"
Bot was vulnerable with enemy jungle pathing opposite.
Da-jeong called it out mid her own lane phase, pulling early.
"No angle on bot, right?"
Enemy jungler timed perfectly for the pull...
But lurking in bush, Nyangta and Komppang looked tasty—except he couldn't do jack besides drool.
"Yeah, no dice. Top might need to pull too?"
"Yeah, coming. Pulling max—kinda risky tho?"
"Prince Maker" top heard the call late.
But Bandit's heavy pressure made escape dicey.
Even flashed out...
"Ahh, Mannami couldn't escape! 'Gubaek-i & Yuchulz' takes first blood!"
"Clean gank timing. Ornn should've warded, but Aatrox pressure didn't give the window."
Lane state wrecked too, Ornn ate double the loss.
Resisting Aatrox got tougher from there.
And then...
"Going top! We can dive straight up!"
"Let's go, Lulu! Show 'em our dream combo!"
Da-jeong's roaming Taliyah unleashed, and the dive finished Ornn off completely.
Lucky for them, "Prince Maker"'s ace ADC Aphelios was still clean.
"If we snag that once... No angle tho."
"Diamond for a reason. NBD."
Jung Jin-nam knew pinning Aphelios would ease the game, so he lurked often.
But diamond ADC's godlike mechanics kept Aphelios threading the needle, farming steady.
Then Bandit smashed those worries flat.
"Jinnam, dude! Chill! Bro's carrying you—just hop on!"
"Ooh, bro...! Trusting you."
"Right? Bandit's top carry angle is popping off perfect this game."
Viktor got ganked twice too, stunted growth.
Hyper Aatrox like this? Even Aphelios struggles.
That's why Da-jeong prioritized top over bot early.
And that effort paid off big.
Aatrox rolled up with core item Death's Dancer—aka DD—sneaking botward.
Da-jeong spotted it and yelled:
"Aatrox joining us—we win this teamfight guaranteed! Just bait 'em to dragon straight up!"
"Roger—smash."
"Vision all locked—go."
"Duruwa, duruwa, you scrubs!"
Aatrox strutted openly to dragon obj.
Poked from fogged flank, head peeking threats.
"Prince Maker" faced the call.
"Whatcha think? 4-drag?"
"4-drag too rough? They baron while we stall—no answer."
"Trust Aphe and fight? Core's decent."
"Doable but... Aatrox too fat."
Even ace ADC hesitated—this choice was brutal.
Fight 3rd drag and win? Cool.
Ace hard and get aced? They baron, GG.
Stall to 4th? Hell's dilemma.
They take 4th or baron free; "Prince Maker" must contest 4th, eyes glued.
"Just try? Steal ain't bad."
"Aight, let's."
They picked fight on jungle's call.
Slunk out timed for respawn.
Casters freaked:
"Whoa—fighting?! 'Prince Maker'!"
"They committed! No point stalling to 4th—Aphe alone can't carry. All-in here!"
Make-or-break for both—golden chance.
"Prince Maker" showed; split dragon pit standoff.
Bandit circled wide from vision-blind, flanking rear.
"Nyangta unnie! Jin-nam! Stall vision while Bandit flanks—dive Aatrox on sight!"
"Roger—tail wag incoming."
"Our sis is cat—tail game's A+."
Da-jeong ordered tanks to babysit Bandit.
Sejuani and Alistar advanced, weaving poke at edge range.
"Prince Maker" pondered engage or no.
That split-second—Komppang ulted.
Ashe's ult, Enchanted Crystal Arrow.
Stuns on hit—prime engage tool.
Nailed Viktor hiding mid-tankline.
Nyangta flashed in on stunned Viktor.
Alistar Q airborne'd Viktor and two more.
Perfect—Bandit's Aatrox hit flank spot-on.
"Insane engage chain! Didn't see Aatrox rear—'Prince Maker'!"
"Still alive tho! Aphe intact—keep him up somehow...!"
Casters and viewers gasped in awe.
Everyone held breath for the teamfight fate.
"DIE YOU FUCKS!!"
Aatrox ulted up, swinging greatsword proud.
Bandit's near-screams fueled; foes scattered like leaves.
"We got this! Just keep me alive!"
"Save Aphe! Aphe!"
"I'll block Aatrox!"
"Prince Maker" clung to hope, shielding ace Aphe desperately.
Aphe whipped weapons, focusing Aatrox.
One issue tho.
Aatrox's pre-fight Death's Dancer.
Splits incoming damage % over time—e.g., 1000 dmg = 300 over 3s slow.
Lets bruisers tank burst.
Aatrox heals HP per sword hit too.
Vamp offsets split dmg—insane value.
"Fuuuuck insane! Why won't he die?!"
"DD prolly. Shit, getting melted..."
"Vamp that broken? Actual char?"
"Dodges grab too... Bandit cracked."
Immortal synergy Aatrox tanked Aphe DPS frontal.
Slammed him down ruthless.
"Prince Maker" aced—stunned silence, sighs.
Aatrox solo-wiped nearly all, sauntered back—majestic line boomed.
Da-jeong bounced from chair hyped, calling:
"Baron now—GG! Wow, that teamfight was chef's kiss tho?"
"Right, Lulu?! Saw my engage?!"
"Nah, unnie's was crazier. Three-man Q?"
"I... ult-locked Aphe too, props...?"
"All y'all STFU. I hypercarried."
Ex-luggage Bandit's hard carry snagged third set first for "Gubaek-i & Yuchulz."
