In all fairness, KG's top laner, Raven's teleport had netted a kill and an assist at the bottom lane. It was a very successful and ideal teleport support. Even if they returned to the top lane, Raven would be able to better suppress Gnar.
But the problem was, the one who benefited the most from the bottom lane battle wasn't Raven.
It was the purple team's SSK mid laner, Temptress.
4/0/0 Crafty Temptress.
Six or seven minutes into the match, Lefran was already on a rampage. She was practically defying the heavens.
It was just like what Rock had said on the commentary platform —
Temptress couldn't hold on any longer.
On the commentary platform, Qing He forced a smile onto his face.
"But at least this round of support came in time. Otherwise, the bottom lane would've been wiped out by SSK. At the very least, it's a 2 for 3. At the end of the day, Raven's development isn't too bad."
Stone's expression was solemn.
"But it's useless. Unless Rui Wen, who's in the top lane, can quickly use this advantage to further increase the tempo, otherwise … She won't be able to stop F's mid lane Temptress from growing without restraint."
Qing He didn't say anything and just sighed.
Because in reality, he also knew that in this kind of situation, against a Crafty Enchantress with a 4/0/0 record, the blue team KG team's original strategy of choosing the mid laner LuLu to resist the pressure was basically ruined.
The middle lane was destined to be at a disadvantage.
The only hope was King's Tian Tian's top laner, Raven's performance.
"Keep it up, Spirit!"
Su Xue said nervously as she watched the livestream.
Beside her, Lin Feng pursed his lips tightly. His heart was heavy.
Because he could vaguely sense —
Up until now, it had been incredibly difficult for Fatty's top laner Ruiwen to bring up the tempo in this situation.
… …
9 minutes and 25 seconds into the match.
The purple team, SSK, once again teamed up in the middle of the jungle and gank the top lane.
They circled around and went over to the tower to flank Raven.
The Jungler Excavator made the first move, using Top Fly to control the target and start to push the tower.
Temptress instantly rushed forward with a skill, firmly stomping on Rui Wen. She quickly followed up with a combo of QRE skills, dealing a complete set of damage in one go.
Then, he would complete the kill and take the head away.
"Unstoppable (A hero is unstoppable)!"
The system's female voice announced the kill, and the Enchantress's battle score reached a shocking 5/0/0.
The hearts of all the players and spectators sank to the bottom of the abyss.
In this way, after Riven was killed by the tower, the top and outer towers would also be lost, and they would also lose a large amount of money and experience.
In that case, the advantage that Rui Wen had gained earlier would quickly disappear.
Controlling his own Crafty Enchantress to turn around and return to the middle lane, Han Shihao, whose name was "F", calmly glanced at Rui Wen's corpse lying on the cold ground, his face seemingly revealing a faint expression of ridicule.
In King Battle Squad's competition room on the stage, regret and pain flashed across Tian Tian's eyes as he sat in front of the computer screen.
(I, I was careless!)
(He shouldn't have been killed!)
… …
In the middle lane, Rui Wen's death had not only cost her a kill, but also half of King Battle Squad's hopes of turning the tables.
But no one could blame Tian Tian for this.
Because SSK's mid lane Enchantress's damage was too terrifying, and because SSK's mid laner coordination was too good.
Everyone knew that SSK had a Yonkō (Four Emperors) and Seven Kings.
But more importantly, the Yonkō (Four Emperors) was the current leader of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the world's number one mid laner, F, while Seven Kings was one of the world's top junglers, AFA.
AFA was one of the strongest junglers in the world, along with Taiwanese Assassin's "Thought the Thirteen".
This kind of mid laner duo was practically the strongest mid laner duo in the world.
In almost all of SSK's matches, the rhythm of the early stages was brought up by the perfect coordination between F and AFA. The two's teamwork was so seamless that there was almost no flaw to be found. It could be said to be perfect —
Just like the match before him.
The match had only been going on for a little more than 10 minutes, and the blue and purple teams' finances had already opened up to 4,000.
In the 12th minute, the first small dragon fell into the purple team's hands.
In the 15th minute, the purple team had a 6k economic lead.
In the 20th minute, their economic lead had exceeded 8k.
It was a despairing economic disparity.
Or perhaps …
It was a huge disparity in strength.
(Too strong.)
At this moment, who knew how many players from professional teams around the world could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Today, SSK once again displayed their frightening ability to dominate and control the rhythm of the match.
The perfect mid laner duo.
The perfect individual strength of a player.
Even Gnar, who had been suppressed in the early stages of the match, had relied on perfect and timely casting of ultimate skills in the middle stages of the match to create an incomparably beautiful team control, helping his team win several team battles.
On the blue team's side, even though King was fighting with all their might, even though Tian Tian's top laner Ruiwen was trying her best to cut through the enemy's backline —
But under SSK's almost impenetrable ice net, all of their desperate struggles and desperate attacks were nullified one after another.
It was a frightening strength.
It was a strength that made people feel hopeless and powerless.
In the 31st minute of the match, the purple "Victory" emblem slowly appeared on the spectator screen.
The blue team's KG Battle Team's base crystal exploded with a loud bang.
King had lost the first match.
0 to 1.
…
Such a heavy defeat was like a boulder weighing down on all the players in the server, making it hard for them to breathe.
But on the internet, the Chinese players in the live stream channels were still trying their best to comfort each other.
"It's okay, it's just one match."
"It's B5!"
"There's still hope."
"The Circle God played really well, as long as they can do a little better in the next match …"
"They can still win!"
But such self-consolation was ruthlessly shattered by the cruel reality that followed.
B5, second match.
Four minutes into the match, Tian Tian's top laner Rambo was ganked by his opponent's jungler Spider and support Japanese Girl. He was immediately killed under the tower.
“firsbl！ — — "
After that, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse for King Team.
In the sixth minute, SSK's jungler Spider moved to the top lane again. This time, it was a mid laner. He worked together with F's mid laner to flank Rambo.
Rambo's score became 0/2/0.
This was undisguised targeting.
But King had no way to deal with it.
Tian Tian's top lane collapsed in the early stages.
In the tenth minute, the financial gap broke through 4,000.
In the fifteenth minute, a team fight broke out at Little Dragon Fjord. F's Little Fishman made the first move and instantly killed King's "Konjac" Jinx. Then, the team fight broke out. Caught off guard, King lost 4 to 1 and suffered a crushing defeat.
In the twenty-seventh minute, the second match ended.
King Battle Team lost yet another match.
All the Chinese players and spectators felt their hearts clench so tightly that they trembled in pain.
Only, only one match left …
Was there still hope?
Was there … any hope for a comeback?
…
The answer was no.
The cold, naked reality cruelly tore apart the last bit of hope and fantasy in the hearts of all the Chinese players.
In the third round of the match, the purple team, SSK, unexpectedly invaded the KG team's jungle and played a perfect Level 1 team battle, trading 0 for 3. The top laner, Ma, took two kills, and the mid laner, Yasuo, took one.
King collapsed in the beginning.
In the tenth minute, the financial gap broke through 4,000.
In the twentieth minute, the financial gap …
It broke through 10,000.
When that cold and cruel purple "Victory" emblem appeared on the giant LCD screen again — —
The Chinese server was dead silent.
Zero to three. King was eliminated in the semi-finals of the finals.
It was a complete and utter defeat.
Countless Chinese professional players who were watching the finals had a pained and unwilling look in their eyes.
(Lost.)
Countless Chinese players felt their hearts grow colder and colder.
It was as if the color of the entire world had turned gray.
Their national server …
Lost.
When their LPL team faced Korea's strongest GN team …
