The match lasted for a minute and forty-five seconds.
In the middle lane, the blue and purple squads had already walked out of the defense tower and were about to meet in the central area near the river.
At the same time, the mid laners on both sides tacitly moved forward along the line of minions, officially entering the last hit phase.
At level 1, both Clockwork Demon and Ice Bird started with Q skills. Clockwork's "Command · Attack" had a flexible and controllable ability to consume poke, while Ice Bird's Q skill also ignored obstacles and attacked in a straight line. Once it hit the target, it would stun the target.
However, at level 1, the Clockwork Demon Spirit still had the upper hand.
After all, a Q skill could be used to control the magic ball to land in front of the line of minions, and then when Ice Bird was not paying attention, a Q skill could easily consume poke. Ice Bird's Q skill, on the other hand, was too slow. Without other skills, it was difficult to hit the target.
Even so, Lin Feng, who was at level 1, did not seem to have any intention of taking advantage of his opponent.
Flat A.
He followed up with a Q skill and pushed the magic ball forward, hitting two purple squads in the front row.
He canceled the backswing and then attacked with a flat A.
A last hit was taken.
The Clockwork Demon under someone's control was very cautious and steady in his control of the line. He knew very well that his opponent in this round was not someone he could easily take advantage of. The magic ball pressed forward, and with Senior One's reaction speed and positioning, he could easily maintain a safe distance. Then, his own Q skill would only be a waste of mana.
Moreover, he had already steeled his heart in the early stages of this round.
I'm not going to fight Ice Bird head-on.
Growth.
Speed to clear the minions and push the line.
Before the Ice Bird reached Level 6, its clearing speed was much slower than the Clockwork Spirit's. Therefore, as long as the Clockwork Spirit continued to push the line and put pressure on the opponent's Ice Bird, he would be able to find an opportunity to wander and gank from the side with Sprint in hand.
It was equivalent to saving the country from the side.
The team leader of KG Club, who was watching from the back row, nodded subconsciously, his face showing appreciation and approval.
"Clockwork Demon is very steady!"
Tony, the head coach of KG, also nodded slightly.
"Minions, pin down Ice Bird."
"If I can find an opportunity on the flanks … Orianna can carry the tempo as well!"
Most of the time, normal players wouldn't think so much when playing ranked. They would think that if they single-handedly killed their opponents in the middle lane, then their advantage would be the fastest to be established. However, this kind of mentality would cause them to miss out on more suitable opportunities.
Only pro players would consider problems from a calmer and more objective point of view. You might think that your mechanics were strong, but your opponent wasn't weak either. If you were in a deadlock and couldn't find an opportunity, it would be easy for you to make a mistake and give your opponent an opportunity.
At times like this, calmly making a choice in advance, giving up on the procrastinating rhythm, and choosing a new target with a clear mind was the wisest decision.
"Under such circumstances … even Senior Number One wouldn't be able to do much, right?"
Some of the KG members who were spectating the match murmured to themselves.
The other team members nodded in agreement.
Yes.
This was not a matter of strength, nor was it a matter of individual operating ability. It was completely determined by the attributes and characteristics of the hero itself. This clockwork strategy was beautiful because he had grasped Ice Bird's weakness in the early stages of clearing troops and was displaying his strategy openly. Even if Ice Bird knew that she was being targeted, it would be difficult for her to quickly and effectively solve the problem.
To put it bluntly, this was actually a test of the player's understanding of the hero and their ability to recognize the lane.
On the purple team's side, Number One raised his eyebrows slightly in front of the computer screen and smiled.
"Brat …"
"He's not competing in mechanics, he's starting to play strategy."
…
Indeed, he could only play strategy.
Because if this was just a solo match, even if his opponent was at the level of Senior Number One, Lin Feng would not hesitate to directly rely on his mechanics and strength to face him head-on. After a round of fighting to his heart's content, victory or defeat would be decided in the blink of an eye, incomparably clean and direct.
But now, this was a 5v5 match.
Everything …
Victory was the number one goal.
Therefore, at this time, the advantage and disadvantage of a lane was no longer the most important point to consider. At this moment, Lin Feng's main concern was to start with strategy and attack from the side, striving to maximize the outcome of the battle.
As a result, the rhythm of the match in the middle lane became relatively calm and gentle.
The blue team's solo Clockwork Demon Spirit was slowly pushing the minions towards the purple team's outer tower in the middle lane. During this process, the Clockwork Demon Spirit's last hits under Lin Feng's control were still astonishing, but at the same time …
What moved the spectating KG members even more was the fact that Icebird, who was clearly a low-level purple team mid laner, was able to maintain her composure in the face of Clockwork Demon's fierce and forceful tempo. She didn't miss a single one of her normal attacks, nor did she miss a single one of her last hits.
Some of the KG members subconsciously swallowed their saliva, but still felt their mouths go dry.
"Ice Bird's last hits … are they that easy?"
Easy my * ss!
Basically, any player who had played Ice Phoenix knew very well that Ice Bird's normal attacks and last hits were the worst out of all the heroes. Her starting speed was slow, her trajectory was slow, and her base attack was low. In a situation where her early skills were not enough to clear the minions, she could easily miss half of the minions by relying on normal attacks.
But at this moment, under the control of Number One, Ice Bird's last hit was as delicate and precise as a computer. There was not the slightest bit of panic. Every small ice ball that was hit was firmly stuck on the last small HP line before the knife was withdrawn. It was as beautiful as a painting.
Lin Feng's expression did not change.
This kind of thing was not surprising at all.
With Senior Number One's strength, his Clockwork Demon Spirit did not need to rely on pure pressure to suppress Ice Bird in terms of last hits.
He only needed to ensure that his Orianna could quickly develop. If he could not find an opportunity to wander around in the early stages, he would directly turn to the jungle to farm the three wolves and F6 monsters after pushing the minions. He did not need to care about the opponent's solo Ice Bird's development, but his Clockwork Demon Spirit had to make all the necessary equipment in ten to fifteen minutes.
Only when they entered the next period —
Was the stage where his Clockwork Demon Spirit would truly show its power.
And before that, he temporarily did not have the mood to care about anything else.
As for the rest …
He could only leave it to his teammates beside him to work hard.
The match had been going on for a little over four minutes.
The situation on the three lanes appeared to be calm and uneventful. There weren't many thrilling scenes to be seen, but at this time, all of the KG members who were watching the match unconsciously straightened their bodies, their gazes locked onto the mini-maps on the computer screens in front of them.
Because, at this time …
The jungler heroes from both sides were basically about to complete a round of clearing.
Next.
It was time for the first wave of wandering and gank.
