ThunderTalk beat EDward Gaming with two controlled LPL wins
ThunderTalk defeated EDward Gaming in two games during LPL Split 3. Junhao and Ahn completed the series without dying. EDG improved in the second game but lost the decisive map objectives.
ThunderTalk used different champions while keeping the same clear roles. Its support play protected the main damage dealers in longer fights. That structure carried the team through both games.
Junhao connects every lane in game one
EDward Gaming opened the series with Jayce, Trundle and Ryze on its upper side. ThunderTalk answered with Olaf, Jarvan IV and Syndra. Ahn played Sivir beside Feather’s Shen. That bottom pair gave ThunderTalk reliable movement during the early fights.
The first few exchanges remained close. EDward Gaming secured a mountain dragon and found several kills. ThunderTalk then began winning fights around the river entrances. Junhao repeatedly reached teammates before EDward Gaming completed its attack.
Junhao finished the game with six kills and sixteen assists. He did not die on Jarvan IV. Heru and Ahn also recorded six kills each. Their damage followed Junhao’s first contact and removed isolated targets.
Feather’s Shen appeared in seventeen of ThunderTalk’s twenty-two kills. He used his protection to keep the main damage players alive. Keshi added pressure through Olaf on the side of the fight. EDward Gaming could not focus one target for long enough.
ThunderTalk turn river control into the first win
The first exchanges remained close around the central river. EDG collected an early dragon and found several isolated kills. ThunderTalk then began arriving first to the larger fights.
Junhao opened space with Jarvan IV and reached every lane. Feather protected the follow-up through Shen’s global presence. Ahn and Heru could then deal damage from safer positions.
The Baron gave ThunderTalk stronger waves for the final attack. EDG had already lost control of the side lanes. Its defenders could not clear every lane before the base fight.
Xiaohao supplied EDG’s best resistance during the opener. ThunderTalk kept changing the first target of each fight. That variety prevented EDG from protecting one route consistently.
EDward Gaming make the second game competitive
ThunderTalk changed every champion for game two. Keshi moved to Ambessa, while Junhao selected Naafiri. Heru used Cassiopeia and Ahn took Jhin. Feather completed the composition with Seraphine.
EDward Gaming replied with Gnar, Vi and Ahri. Leave played Ezreal, supported by Parukia’s Karma. That lineup found eight kills and three dragons. It also kept the gold difference small through the middle period.
| Result | ThunderTalk 2-0 EDward Gaming |
|---|---|
| First game | 22-6 in kills |
| Second game | ThunderTalk defeated Baron twice |
| Competition | LPL Split 3 |
The teams traded pressure instead of repeating the first game. EDward Gaming took hextech, ocean and infernal dragons. ThunderTalk collected two infernal dragons and waited for stronger fights. Neither side gained a simple route through the central lane.
Keshi led ThunderTalk with four kills on Ambessa. Zdz answered with three on Gnar for EDward Gaming. Heru died five times, the highest total on ThunderTalk. His Cassiopeia still supplied seven assists during the longer exchanges.
Late map control completes the series
EDG made the second game much closer through better lane pressure. Its players collected several dragons and kept the gold difference small. ThunderTalk waited for cleaner fights instead of forcing an early finish.
The first Baron moved EDG away from the central lane. ThunderTalk used that pressure to strengthen both side routes. A later Baron created the final entry into the base.
Ahn and Junhao again survived every dangerous exchange. Feather linked their positions with Seraphine’s protection. Keshi provided the forward pressure needed during the closing fights.
The two games followed different rhythms but reached the same result. ThunderTalk dominated the opener and stayed patient in the second. That control produced a deserved series victory.
Junhao connects two different victories
Junhao reached every important fight before EDward Gaming could reset. His Jarvan IV finished the opener without a death. Heru and Ahn converted those engages into damage on the back line. Feather supported the same plan with seventeen assists.
ThunderTalk controlled the first Baron and most of the later dragons. That objective lead opened several routes into the EDG base. EDG could not clear vision safely around the river. The first game ended after another coordinated push.
The second game contained fewer kills and longer setup phases. EDG defended its lanes more effectively during the opening minutes. ThunderTalk waited until the major objectives created a clean fight. That patience stopped the series from becoming chaotic.
Two Baron captures gave ThunderTalk control of the closing map. Ahn stayed alive through every decisive exchange. Junhao and Feather again connected the front line with the carries. EDG lost the series despite a closer second game.
ThunderTalk did not repeat the same route in the second game. The team accepted a slower opening and protected vision around the river. EDG remained close until the stronger waves reached its defensive structures. ThunderTalk then used its surviving players to complete the final push.
