Loss or no loss?
?
Who lost?
And who won?
This round of Xiaolong Fjord's team battle was extremely intense, but it ended very quickly. There was not much of a stalemate or tug-of-war, and the result was determined almost at the last moment.
But it was precisely because of this that all the customers and spectators in the lobby of Mountain Internet Cafe, including the spectators from the Alpine Club, were at a loss.
They did not even have the time to react.
After a moment of silence, a commotion gradually arose in the crowd.
"This … Which side won?"
"It's the purple side, right? They almost wiped out the other side."
"But the blue side also got the Fire Dragon, and Katarina even got a double kill."
"Ah, that's true —"
In the front row of the crowd, a group of players from the Alpine Club were also discussing in low voices, frowning and exchanging opinions with each other. With the vision of professional players, they made judgments and analyses, and in the end, their faces were filled with joy and excitement.
It should be …
It was a win!
"That's right, the other side's Fire Dragon only gave them a little bit of damage, but they didn't gain anything financially."
"We got a total of four kills on our side. One for Jinx, one for Lady Knife, and one for Blind Man. We don't even have to take into account the other assists. The top lane and ADC positions have risen again."
The mid laner of Alpine Team Two was beaming with joy.
"And look, only Katarina got a kill on the other side this time."
"It's still the same!"
"No matter how many kills Carter got, his other teammates still didn't have any financial resources. Even with Carter's double kill, the others didn't even get any assists."
"Then the situation is still the same!"
"On the blue side, Katerina is still the only one who can be of use. As long as we defend against her, no one else will be a threat. Katerina was lucky this time to get a double kill, but what about next time?"
"It's easy for us to make the first move, but the other side won't have it so easy. It's impossible for them to get such a good opportunity so easily!"
With just a few words, the other members of the High Mountain Club were in high spirits.
That made sense!
To put it bluntly, it was still the other side's mid laner, Carter, who was the only one who was effective.
The situation was exactly the same as before!
The more this was the case, the more it showed that the blue team was currently in an awkward predicament. Since no one else could be of use, they could only rely on Katerina.
But can you, Katerina, really seize such a good opportunity every single time?
Just thinking about it was impossible!
The more they analyzed it, the more the Mountain team members felt that it was reasonable. They regained their confidence and became excited. But at this moment, one of the team members said weakly, "Don't worry, we can't do that."
"But …"
"From the beginning until now, Carter seems to have really seized the opportunity every time."
"We said that we had to take precautions against them, but we didn't manage to defend against them even once, right?"
As soon as he said that.
Everyone from the High Mountain Team was silent.
As they looked at each other, an awkward atmosphere filled the air. Some people wanted to explain themselves, but when they opened their mouths, they found that they couldn't say a single word to explain themselves.
Because …
That seemed to be the case.
…
"Really, it doesn't seem like we're winning."
Similarly, in the front row of the audience, Little Fool had just recovered from his previous excitement. He calmed down and thought carefully. As a substitute member of the High Mountain Battle Squad, his ability to analyze and judge caused his face to once again reveal a look of deep worry.
"This little brother Lin Feng's Carter … Although that double kill just now vented my anger, I feel like it didn't play a decisive role."
"Carter's double kill, and it's an eight level kill book. This is indeed rising."
"But the other side's speed is also very fast."
"That means that if this continues, even if Katerina's damage output is still as high as before, she'll only be able to kill two people in a one-on-one fight. Katerina herself will definitely have low HP, and she might not be able to escape with low HP every time."
"Killing two people here, and the other four teammates still die. It's still not enough!"
That was indeed the case after analyzing it.
Li Shiyi was silent.
Little Fool was right. Even the other members of the Mountain Team could probably come to the same conclusion. In this kind of situation, relying on Katerina alone would be very difficult to achieve a one versus one fight. Being able to double kill just now was already the limit of one person's control. Even if it was the top professional players in the LpL region, they probably wouldn't be able to do better than Katerina.
In other words, even if the blue team managed to snatch the Fire Dragon and allowed Carter's double kill to stack up a few more kill books …
But the most crucial problem was still not solved.
Although Li Shiyi had absolute trust in the strength of his former comrade on the stage, he also had to look at the problem from an objective point of view. Therefore, even Li Shiyi had to admit that in this kind of situation, it was very difficult for Lin Feng's Katerina to pose a real threat to the purple team's five members.
But …
Li Shiyi's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the blue team on the stage.
It was just like the judgment he had made before this round of team battle.
If he guessed correctly.
In this fierce battle at the river, Lin Feng had never thought that he would be able to succeed in one battle. His real goal should be something else.
But …
As he thought about this, Li Shiyi's expression became solemn again.
The blue team didn't have much time left.
And Lin Feng …
Had he "tested" it out?
…
"Yeah."
"It's not worth it."
In the blue team's live chat channel, Lin Feng's voice was heard right after Ceng Rui's judgment.
His tone was as calm as ever, as if he didn't care about the result of the team battle at all.
Dou Zi was a little anxious.
"How do we fight then?"
"At this pace, I feel like we're going to lose more and more."
Kamimiya Saka also frowned slightly. "Yeah, even if it's your Katerina, the threat she poses to the enemy will gradually decrease as the game progresses. On the other hand, Jinx and Victor will become more and more useful."
Tang Bingyao bit her lip and didn't say anything.
Even though she had brought out Draven, the girl knew that Jinx would be more useful and powerful in the later stages of the game than her Glorious Executioner. In addition, it was also very difficult for her Draven to deal enough damage against two strong champions like the purple top laner and the jungler Blind Monk.
These were all objective realities.
Although it was a heavy reality, he had to admit it.
The team battle that had just ended did not seem to be a loss, but if one were to look at it from a long-term perspective, the situation of the blue team was actually getting more and more serious.
The core problem could not be solved.
Then he was destined to lose.
However, at that moment, Ceng Rui seemed to have vaguely guessed something. He didn't raise any objections like the others. Instead, he looked at Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, do you have a solution?"
Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
"Oh."
"I have a rough idea."
He paused for a moment and added,
"However, I still have to try a few more times."
