Indeed.
After the purple team pushed down the blue team's second tower in the middle lane, the situation on the battlefield seemed to have become a little strange.
It seemed that from this moment on, the purple team, who seemed to have the absolute advantage and initiative on the surface, started to feel a little restrained.
The push of the second tower in the middle lane should have been the best time for them to fight the blue team head-on. However, because the blue team abandoned their towers and retreated without hesitation, the purple team's punch seemed to have hit the air.
It didn't feel any pressure at all.
It even made them panic.
But following that, the purple team couldn't easily get to the high ground. Although the blue team gave up more defense towers, vision, and room to grow, they also obtained a temporary stability.
Precisely — —
This was the last bit of time that the blue team's adc, Big Mouth, needed to stabilize.
Three minutes.
This was the answer given by Number Five.
In fact, it didn't matter if this time was a little longer or a little shorter, because it was obvious that the purple team was starting to hesitate.
Finally …
They were starting to be a little bit afraid of the terrifying power that could erupt at any time from the Abyss.
And so, under Lin Feng and Morning Dawn Chen Xing's judgement, the purple army gave up on their previous aggressive and unstoppable momentum. Instead, they started to move in a roundabout manner and split up into four groups.
The main team of four took the top lane, while the mid lane beauty Lefran took the bottom lane alone.
Indeed, this was the best solution at the moment.
Or in other words …
It was the most prudent and reliable way to continue to suppress the opponent when facing the unstoppable adc, Big Mouth, who was about to fully develop.
Rely on the minions to constantly put pressure on the opponent.
In fact, in many top-notch professional competitions, situations like this would often occur. Sometimes, one side might be at a disadvantage in terms of both player count and economy when the pace of the match entered the late stages. However, in the early stages of the match, they had already taken down three of the opponent's outer towers, or even one or two highlands. Then, this side would choose to constantly avoid direct confrontation with their superior opponent, and use their minions to restrain their opponent.
Don't underestimate the power of the minions.
Breaking through two of your highlands would easily make it so that even if you had the upper hand, you would never be able to further expand the battle. Instead, you would have to constantly run back and forth to deal with a large wave of enemy troops that were constantly pushing towards you. In the end, your opponent might even bypass your line of sight and sneak up to the highlands to steal your home.
Lin Feng and Morning Dawn Chen Xing had already predicted that the big mouth was going to unleash a terrifying amount of power, so they had already prepared for it.
However, most of the spectators did not think too deeply about it. Of course, they had already begun whispering to each other.
"Separate them?"
"It's still very stable."
"It just so happens that the Enchantress is leading the way. No one on the blue side can stop her."
"The top lane 4v4 just needs to drag it out."
"This way, we'll be able to push down at least two towers on the other side."
Of course, there were also some God players who felt that the purple team didn't need to be so cautious. Even if they were to engage in a 5v5, the blue team wouldn't be a match for them. However, most of the God players still praised the purple team's decision to split the map.
However …
For Lin Feng and Morning Dawn Chen Xing, who were in charge of the purple team's strategy, even if they heard the praise, they would only smile bitterly.
Because it wasn't about whether they were cautious or not.
It was because they had no other choice.
…
When the purple army came up with a four-man strategy, the blue army also began to make corresponding defensive arrangements. The four of them, including Big Mouth, went to the top lane to defend the second tower, while the second tower in the bottom lane was handed over to Kyle, who had the summoner's skill [Teleport].
"As for Kyle … he should be able to clear the troops quickly enough. He should be able to defend the bottom of the tower, right?"
The spectating members of God continued to discuss among themselves.
"After all, he still has his ultimate skill, Invincibility."
"He should be able to hold off the Enchantress's sudden attack."
"But … if it's a 1v1, after the Enchantress's skill cooldown, there's still another one."
Indeed.
For the blue team's current formation, only the top laner Angel could barely defend against the purple team's mid laner Enchantress in a 1v1. Or rather, he could slightly slow down the opponent's advancement of the tower.
However, this didn't mean that the angel could really be on par with the Enchantress Lefran.
If he was caught in a 1v1, he would probably be forced to use his ultimate skill.
And if there was another 1v1 …
He wouldn't be able to escape.
Therefore, there was no suspense in the 1v1 battle at the bottom lane. The main thing to watch was the result of the 4v4 battle between the two armies on the top lane.
"Then the purple team's top lane should be fine."
"The blue team on the other side doesn't have any way to start a team."
A member of God's team pointed out the crux of the matter. That's right. In fact, the entire formation of the blue team, from Angel to LuLu to Nunu to Wind Maiden, basically didn't have the ability to initiate an attack. Naturally, their defense was as tight as an iron bucket. But in fact, the opponent's purple team didn't even need to initiate an attack on the top lane.
They just had to stall for time.
They just had to wait for the Enchantress at the bottom lane to slowly press down on the high ground and put pressure on the blue team.
Hearing such discussions, number one, who was standing near the god team's coaching team, raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a faint smile on his face. Li Shiyi's expression was still solemn, and he even shook his head slightly.
No … ability to start a team first?
On the surface, it seemed like it.
But —
His gaze involuntarily fell on the blue team's ADC, Great Abyssal Mouth. A complicated light flashed in Li Shiyi's eyes.
On the other side …
But there was still Little Dance's big mouth.
…
As expected, the rhythm of the 1v1 battle between the Enchantress and the angel at the bottom lane was completely under Lefran's control. A wave of minions quickly pushed in front of the blue team's defense tower. At the same time that Angel Kyle began to use his ranged skills to quickly clear away the minions, Lin Feng and Morning Star's Crafty Enchantress directly seized the opportunity to cut in.
Skill "Phantom Footprints".
Skill "Phantom Chains".
The E skill "Phantom Chains" shot out close to Angel Kyle's face, not giving him any time to react. It hit and firmly bound him.
He added a flat A.
At the same time that the defense tower's first Energy Bullet landed, it instantly followed up with a second A. Swoosh.
The second effect of Crafty Chains was triggered, and at the same time, a burst of damage was dealt.
In the blink of an eye.
The HP bar above the blue team's top Angel's head was already more than half empty.
The damage was so ridiculous that it made people's scalps go numb. This was only a small combo from a set of basic skills, but it could already take away half of the Angel's health. Even if the Enchantress didn't use her ultimate skill, she would definitely be able to force Angel Kyle to use his ultimate skill, Invincibility.
There was no other way.
At this time, the purple team's top Enchantress's terrifying damage was still unstoppable. It was invincible in 1v1.
If there was really someone who could compete with it —
It was probably another ADC who was invincible in team fights.
Quickly pushing another wave of minions into the tower, Lin Feng's eyes quickly swept over the minimap. He hurriedly and solemnly gave a reminder in his team's live chat channel.
"Be careful on the road."
"Stay steady. Just stall for time."
"Don't give them a chance …"
"Don't give them a chance!"
