Regardless of how messed up the mood of the three KG players on the purple side were, the mid laners from both blue and purple sides had arrived at the mid lane after 1 minute and 40 seconds had passed.
Blue side, Zeras.
Versus.
Purple side, Nine-Tailed Fox.
In the early stages of the game, it could be said that Fox would have the upper hand against these two mid laners. Zeras' long-range poke ability would only become apparent in the mid-stages of the game when his equipment was fully developed.
However, at a lower level, the skill damage of the Ancient Spirit was also very low. Especially since it lacked explosive power, it would still be slightly passive and at a disadvantage against Fox.
On the blue side, the main mid laner of the KG team, Demon Ghost, was naturally aware of this.
Therefore, even if it didn't pay too much attention to the "sparring partner" midlaner, Phantom Demon still kept its guard up.
Regardless — —
The big shots of his own club team and the two senior coaches were watching.
If he performed well today, he would gain the favor of the two senior coaches. He might even get extra coaching and training. That would be a wonderful feeling. His other teammates would probably be envious of him.
While making such calculations in his mind, Phantom Ghost controlled his ancient spirit and began to deal the finishing blow in the middle lane.
This hero, Zeras …
It was only recently that he had begun to ponder and study it.
However, after a period of hard work and practice, he had enough familiarity and understanding of this hero.
Although Zeras's poke ability was very strong, any Zeras player who knew how to play would not choose to continuously use skills to harass and deplete the opponent's HP in the early stages of the game.
There was no point.
Therefore, Demon Ghost controlled his mid laner Zeras to directly attack the troops in the lane. Coupled with the "Arcane Pulse" of his Q skill, he quickly aimed at the small group of minions and quickly pushed the lane.
The KG players who were watching from behind the blue team could not help but nod.
"Brother Demon is very steady."
"There's no need to fight Fox in the early stages."
"Zeras's playstyle is similar to that of Bomberman and Card. He's not very strong in the lane. Without the help of a jungler, all he needs to do is use his skills to quickly clear the lane."
"This way, Fox will also be held back by the minions and won't be able to do anything."
…
The situation in the middle lane was just as the KG team members had predicted. Compared to the Nine-tailed Fox, Zeras was much more efficient in clearing his troops and pushing forward.
Very quickly, Zeras had cleared out the first wave of minions on the opposing side. On the other hand, there were still two long-range minions left on the blue side. They were valiantly charging towards the lone Fox of the opposing purple side. At the same time, the second wave of minions was about to reach the line.
The surrounding KG spectators nodded again.
Sure, sure.
This way, the next wave of troops could directly press into the tower.
Zerath had found a rhythm.
However, it was also at this moment that the situation on the middle lane suddenly changed with the movement of the fox in the purple square.
When the remaining two long ranged soldiers of the blue side's first wave of troops pressed towards the purple side's outer tower, the purple side's mid lane Fox was also retreating towards the tower, but …
Just as the two blue long range soldiers were about to follow Fox into the range of the purple defense tower.
The fox's footsteps suddenly stopped.
As a result, the two blue ranged soldiers also stopped, and continued to aim at their target, Fox, while throwing out small light bombs to attack.
Everyone was stunned.
The KG squad members around him only managed to recover from their daze for a split second before they widened their eyes in shock.
"Control the line!"
Number One nodded slightly when he saw this scene in the middle lane.
"Sure."
On the other hand, Number Five chuckled and commented on the conversation.
"Zeras …"
"He's going to feel a little uncomfortable."
…
Compared to the top and bottom lanes, the middle lane was the most difficult to control.
This was because the middle lane was the shortest.
After the blue and purple side's outer tower's firing range was divided, the remaining central area was less than a thousand yards wide.
It was very easy for a wave of minions to be pushed into the tower.
That was why the blue side's Phantom Fox didn't think too much about it. After clearing out the opposing purple side minions, he subconsciously thought that the wave of minions had passed. However, he didn't think about the two remaining long range soldiers on his side …
It was actually used by the opponent's mid lane Fox just like that.
The distance was just right.
They were stuck outside of the purple defense tower's firing range.
At this time, the new wave of minions had already walked out from the two outer defense towers. Judging from this position, the next point where the two sides' minions would converge would be at the edge of the purple defense tower's firing range.
They wouldn't be able to enter the tower.
They stopped steadily.
Phantom Fox's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He suddenly realized that he had been a little careless. Although he had originally planned to use his advantage in clearing his minions to suppress the enemy Fox, his opponent had now used the two long range soldiers to control the minions …
On the contrary, his own Zeras had fallen into a passive and awkward situation.
The surrounding KG team members were once again in an uproar:
"This is awkward."
"The enemy Fox is a little scheming."
"He predicted that Brother Phantom would push the minions, so he beat him at his own game and counterattacked."
"The minions stopped here … Zeras, a mid lane who can't move, is too dangerous. If he gets caught, he'll be in trouble."
"We have to push the minions forward."
Even if he couldn't hear the discussions of his club team members through his headphones, Phantom Fox was still very clear on this point. Looking at the second wave of minions that had stopped at the edge of the defense tower's firing range, his expression was a little uncertain.
It was indeed a little troublesome.
With the minions in this position, the enemy Fox could easily and comfortably control the minions to develop.
As for Zeras, he could neither advance nor retreat.
The enemy Fox clearly wanted to control the minions from this position. Every last hit was the last hit of the ace. The position of the minions would be completely controlled and wouldn't change at all.
But this way, his Zeras would be in danger.
Seeing the opponent's mid lane Fox leisurely continue to control the minions, Phantom Fox gritted his teeth and quickly made a decision –
I have to push the minions forward even if I have to!
He made up his mind.
At the same time, Phantom Fox didn't hesitate to control his mid lane Zeras to directly push forward.
He didn't need to worry about depleting the Fox's HP. As long as Zeras quickly pushed through this wave of minions, the Fox wouldn't be able to tank the damage of a large wave of minions on his side. Then, the minions would be sent into the second wave.
In the next moment, the cooldown of the Q skill "Arcane Pulse" had already finished accumulating power in front of the ancient spirit's chest.
But it was also at this moment —
Lin Feng's eyes slightly narrowed:
"Eleven."
A sudden voice called out.
At the same time, Li Shiyi's calm voice also sounded in the purple team's live chat:
"We're here!"
