The death of Clockwork Demon in the mid lane seemed to have changed the tides of the game once again.
Originally, the blue team had no advantage in the top and bottom lanes, including the jungle. They had even been suppressed into a passive state by their opponents. Only Clockwork Orianna in the mid lane was on par with the opponent's mid laner, Ice Bird. She had the highest last hits in the game, and her development was not inferior at all.
However, now …
Clockwork had been killed, and Ice Bird had gotten the kill. There was finally a gap in the development of the mid laners on both sides.
Ice Bird Phoenix, who had always seemed calm and had only been fighting against the enemy, finally obtained its first kill and officially opened its business. Ice Bird Phoenix, who had always been fighting against the enemy, finally obtained its first kill.
A hero like the Ice Crystal Phoenix looked like a lukewarm pool of water. It wasn't strong in lane, and the casting of various skills required a lot of control and judgment. But in reality, if it really got the kill and developed, it would give the opponent an extremely terrifying pressure and threat in an unexpected way.
Moreover —
This was Phoenix under the control of Number One.
That was why the surrounding KG spectators, including the club's team leader and the head coach, Tony, were all sighing in regret. They felt that the blue team only needed to focus on the two mid laners on the purple team. The jungler, Spider, had already carried the rhythm of three lanes. Her results were the best in the game, but at least Clockwork would have been able to hold Ice Bird back.
Now, however, Ice Bird had gotten the kill.
If the opposing mid laners continued to develop like this, what chance did Clockwork Demon have of winning?
However, it was also relative. Although Clockwork Demon in the mid lane had been killed, someone had bought some time and opportunities for his teammates in the flanks to develop. On the top lane, Li Shiyi's jungler, Widow, had crossed the tower and helped Blade Sister get the kill. This allowed Tian Tian's top laner to regain his rhythm of development and continue to suppress Kenan's development.
At the same time, although the purple team's support, Blon, had completely destroyed Clockwork Demon's last hope of survival, the blue team's Konjac and Little Zou at the bottom lane had managed to suppress a wave of minions after they realized what was going on. They even forced the opposing ADC, Virtuoso, to be unable to develop under the tower.
This was equivalent to a trade.
Clockwork had sacrificed himself in the mid lane.
Both top and bottom lanes relied on the deaths of their teammates to regain their rhythm.
Whether or not such a deal was worth it depended on the person, but at least for the vast majority of people who were familiar with his playstyle, whether it was an old friend or an old opponent, if they saw him make such a decision, their jaws would probably drop —
The "Maple Emperor" they were familiar with back then …
But he was always the one who had the most confidence in his mechanics and his ability to carry.
In a disadvantageous situation, a certain someone would unhesitatingly make the first choice, even if it meant giving up the development of all his other teammates, he would first ensure that he could get up. Then, even if he was a God leading four weaklings, he could rely on his own strength to carry the entire team and turn the tables.
But this time, the choice he made was completely different.
Therefore, even Li Shiyi and Tian Tian, who were once teammates, could not help but feel a little guilty and worried even though they were excited about the results they obtained on the top lane.
"Lin Feng, are you alright in the mid lane?"
"This time … you've sacrificed too much for your clockwork development."
"It might have been better for me to protect you in the middle lane …"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"It's fine. If you had gone to the middle lane, you might have gotten into trouble more easily."
Logically speaking, his clockwork should have been just a hair's breadth away from escaping, but he knew the strength of No.1 and No.5 too well. Especially when Dancing Snow was the one who made the plan, there was almost no chance for them to take advantage of any loopholes. Not to mention the fact that Eleven's jungler had gone to the middle lane to protect him, Dancing Snow might have switched to another strategy, and even more dangerous …
Even if Eleven's jungler Widow came over, the worst case scenario for the mid lane would be that not only would his clockwork fail to survive, but Widow would also die.
Lin Feng's heart still palpitated as he recalled the ice bird's and the spider's coordinated attacks.
That teamwork …
Perhaps only the current SSK team, the world's strongest midlaner duo, or his teammates who were also at their peak during the S1 season could achieve such a feat.
But …
Lin Feng took a deep breath and looked at the game on the computer screen in front of him. Once again, his eyes shone with a piercing light.
"Don't worry.
"Even if Ice Bird gets the kill in the middle lane, I can still take it."
…
The match was about 14 minutes old.
Lin Feng had controlled the clockwork demon to return to the middle lane after resurrecting.
Orianna had used both of her summons at the moment. She was already under a lot of pressure facing Ice Bird, who was ahead of her in terms of economic level and equipment development. At the same time, she had to be wary of the jungler Spider, who could appear at any time like a ghost. Her situation in the middle lane was getting more and more difficult.
"Why don't we … switch lanes?"
Konjac, the blue team's adc, Policewoman, could not help but suggest at the bottom lane.
Their rhythm at the bottom lane was pretty good. They had just suppressed Virtuoso's minions, and Policewoman had developed again. If they switched lanes with the support Wind Lady to the middle lane, they could continue suppressing Ice Bird in a 2v1 situation. It might be more comfortable for the clockwork demon to face Virtuoso and Bloom at the bottom lane.
Lin Feng shook his head.
"No need."
If they switched lanes, they would not need to continue to face off against Senior No. 1's Ice Bird, which would indeed reduce the pressure. However, he knew that if his two teammates switched lanes to the middle lane, the chances of something happening in the middle lane would definitely increase greatly.
2V1？
It sounded like Policewoman and Wind Lady could theoretically suppress Ice Bird, who was alone in the lane.
However, Lin Feng had no doubt that as long as they switched lanes, the middle lane would definitely have a situation where both of them were killed in less than two minutes. Not to mention whether or not Ice Bird would be suppressed, it was even possible that No.1's Ice Bird could single-handedly suppress both Policewoman and Wind Lady to death.
Ice Bird was a hero …
Her most powerful and terrifying period was at the end of the S1 to S2 seasons. However, most players and even professional players could no longer remember how terrifying Ice Phoenix was.
However, Lin Feng remembered.
He had fought Phoenix, the former number one Ice Bird in the world, too many times, so he knew that Ice Bird under No.1's control would not be any weaker than Phoenix.
The middle lane was currently controlled by Lin Feng's clockwork demon. It looked like it could withstand the pressure without suffering too much, but that was just how the bystanders saw it.
However, if it were anyone else …
Anyone else.
As long as it was below the Yonkō (Four Emperors), even if you were a Seven Kings, if you were to sit in Lin Feng's position, you would definitely instantly feel the terrifying pressure. You would be forcibly sucked into the most violent and turbulent undercurrent storm, completely unable to stabilize the rhythm.
Therefore …
The middle lane could only officially enter the stage of resistance.
Lin Feng's expression returned to calmness.
He continued to line up.
The match time was 14 minutes and 45 seconds. Before Clockwork could safely take down a wave of minions in the middle lane, it was as if danger was quietly approaching again.
There were no signs of danger in sight.
However, Lin Feng had already begun to control his Orianna to give up on the minions and choose to retreat.
Many of the spectators from KG Club were stunned. Their faces were filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"How … how did Clockwork know?"
Phantom Demon was silent. After a while, it slowly opened its mouth.
"Awareness."
Not far away, the team leader of KG Club also gave his evaluation with a solemn expression.
"The awareness that only the top mid laner possesses!"
