You win some, you lose some.
Shi Ming couldn't be clearer about this.
It was just like how he knew what it meant for him to give up on the top lane and use [Teleport] on the bottom lane. It was precisely because of this that when he controlled Kennan to help his bottom lane teammates kill the opposing ADC, Verus, and support, Japanese Maiden, he didn't feel too happy about it.
If he teleported to the bottom lane to flank them, he would definitely be able to kill them.
There was no doubt about it.
But the problem was that he had given up the top lane, which also meant that he had completely given up on the chance to continue the regular matchup with Team M's top lane captain.
He couldn't beat him.
Even though he had just teleported back to the top lane, Shi Ming was sure that his development in the next few minutes would be extremely difficult. Moreover, he didn't doubt that if he returned to the top lane, Team M's captain would find an opportunity to kill him again in less than a minute.
Therefore, such a choice was like a brave warrior cutting off his wrist.
He had completely given up on the top lane.
He had to avoid the enemy's sharpness and deal with them in a roundabout way.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Ming did not hesitate to directly tap on the purple side of his opponent's outer tower mark.
"Push!"
At this time, on the purple side of the defensive tower at the bottom lane, the ADC, Verus, and the support, Sunmaiden, had been killed and were waiting to be revived in the spring. The three heroes of the purple side, Team Seven Leaves, could quickly uproot this tower without any resistance.
Soon, the female voice of the system sounded again, followed by the purple bottom lane's outer tower turning into ruins.
The income of the blood tower was divided equally between Policewoman and Kennan.
Lv Zhong frowned.
He originally thought that it would be best to give all of the income to Shi Ming's Kennan to make up for the loss of the top lane. But Shi Ming shook his head.
"No need."
"Let Policewoman get more income."
"Next, let's switch lanes. Both of you will switch to the top lane to suppress the captain. Try to get more income."
These were the words from his heart.
Shi Ming naturally wouldn't be polite with his teammates.
Because he was sincerely worried for his two teammates at the bottom lane. Even if the two of them switched to the top lane, they would still be able to suppress the captain in theory, but after all …
Their opponent was Team M.
In the face of such a legendary opponent, Shi Ming felt that he could never be too careful.
…
On the spectator's screen on the stage, after the three heroes in the blue team's bottom lane destroyed the purple team's outer tower, Policewoman and Hammerstone quickly chose to return to the city. After replenishing and updating their equipment in the equipment store at the base spring, they immediately rushed to the top lane.
The customers and audience in the internet cafe understood what was going on.
This was …
Change the line!
Some of the customers came to a sudden realization.
"That makes sense!"
"The towers at the bottom lane have all been destroyed. That should free Policewoman and Hammerstone."
"If Kenan continues to go against Captain, he won't be able to gain the upper hand for a while. However, if they go against each other on the top lane, they can perfectly suppress Captain's growth!"
"F * ck, isn't this a strategy only used in the Pro League?"
"They're even using such a tactic. It looks like the gods in our Seven Leaves Battle Team are serious this time. Tsk tsk, it's basically over for them."
Immediately, the audience sang praises for Seven Leaves Battle Team.
At the same time, the purple team glanced at the minimap and saw the blue team's top lane Kenan leading the bottom lane. Then, they looked at the blue team's ADC, Policewoman, and support Hammerstone, who had already walked out of the top lane's outer tower. Lin Feng nodded.
"Oh."
"Change the line!"
It was a reasonable choice.
In his opinion, it was about time for Little Myna to switch lanes. This was the wisest decision Kennan could make. He would stay at the bottom lane, and his team's ADC would switch to the top lane to suppress the captain.
However …
Someone raised an eyebrow.
Would two lanes on the top lane be able to suppress him?
If Little Eight really had this kind of thinking, then it was really too easy for him to think of the problem.
…
In the eighth minute of the match.
On the field, the blue team and purple team's head count became 2: 1. After Shi Ming's top lane Kenan's teleportation at the bottom lane, Team Seven Leaves Battle Team regained the lead and was one head ahead of the purple team.
Coupled with the bottom lane's first blood tower, in terms of team finances, the blue team seemed to have a slight advantage.
However, it wasn't very obvious.
The audience in the internet cafe suddenly realized something and were puzzled.
"That's not right …"
"Two kills and a first blood tower. Policewoman's last hits are eight or nine ahead of Verus. How come they're still on par in terms of finances?"
"That's right. The mid lane's Sindra and Bomberman's last hits are about the same."
"Who's the purple team's finances are stronger?"
The question was quickly answered.
Finally, someone noticed Captain's last hits on the purple team's top laner —
Eight minutes.
Sixty-nine last hits.
Compared to the blue team's top laner Kenan, who only had 48 last hits, Captain's last hit economy was almost one-third ahead. It was almost equivalent to a bounty of one and a half kills.
"What the f * ck … Captain hasn't missed a single last hit so far?"
Immediately, some of the customers and audience in the internet cafe gasped.
"There's even a first blood. The pace in the early stages is too smooth. Ten minutes of last hits is going to break a hundred?!"
Beside them, other audience guests who had played Captain before chimed in and added,
"Moreover, the Captain's Q skill to collect minions has additional economic bonuses. With one or two barrels and a Q to blow up a wave of minions, the additional economic bonus is equivalent to having one or two minions to deal with. If accumulated, it will be quite a considerable amount."
Indeed.
This was one of the characteristics of the hero, Calamity of the Ocean Plank.
Relying on the passive Q skill, Captain's recovery speed was faster than his opponent's even in a situation where they were evenly matched. One or two minutes might not be much, but five or ten minutes …
While his opponents were still trying to save up money to craft a few small pieces of equipment, the captain had already taken the lead and crafted a large piece of equipment.
Therefore, even if Captain was at a disadvantage and couldn't get a kill, as long as he could use his Q skill to stabilize his last hits, his development speed wouldn't be any slower than his opponent's. In the middle of a team battle, he could still go on a rampage.
And that was only in a situation where they were evenly matched or at a disadvantage.
As for now —
Someone's purple team's top laner Captain had a super smooth start to his development. He was first in the last hits and had a first blood. It couldn't be more ideal.
Although the audience in the internet cafe would unhesitatingly support Team Seven Leaves' "God Yagami" when it came to comparing the top laners of both sides, they couldn't help but worry when they saw the opponent's captain leisurely and smoothly develop.
However, it was fortunate that Seventh Leaf Battle Squad had switched teams in time.
The Policewoman and Hammerstone from the duo lane should be able to suppress Captain at the top lane. At the very least, they should be able to make Captain's development more difficult.
On the other side of the stage, Ceng Rui, Dou Zi, and Kamiya Saka were also a little worried.
"Lin Feng, do you need help on the top lane?"
"How about we switch lanes as well? Let your Captain continue to play against Kenan. It should be much easier."
"After I finish farming, I can go to the top lane and find a chance to help you catch a wave of kills."
However, in response to his teammates' kind suggestions, someone waved his hand indifferently.
"No need."
Then, his gaze fell on the blue team's ADC, Policewoman, and support, Hammerstone. He announced in high spirits:
"Those two guys on the other side —"
"They're dead!"
