Although they had won the second training match, the two ace players of Team God couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when they recalled the scene of the previous match.
It was too close.
It was too close.
The process … was too difficult.
From the start of the match, the blue team, God, had already confirmed their strategy to target the top lane. With their two core players, the mid and bottom lanes, the mid and bottom lanes, they didn't need much help in the early stages of the match. Basically, their jungler would be stationed at the top lane.
And this arrangement did have a certain effect in the early game.
The blue team's top solo, Gnar, was facing his opponent, the purple team's top solo, Kennan. In the early stages of the game, Gnar wasn't pressured too much. Even though there was a huge gap between the individual skills of the two players, the jungler's two waves of roaming around the top lane in the early stages of the game created a lot of trouble for Kennan. Kennan didn't dare to overpressure his opponent.
At the same time, on the mid and bottom lane, both Barren Snow Nightsong's adc, Mouse, and Morning Star's mid lane Card Master were able to suppress the members of Team KING in the early game.
The bottom lane was in a 2v2 situation without the help of a jungler. Barren Snow Nightsong's adc, Mouse, managed to kill Nami on the purple side.
On the middle lane, Card Master was not only not suppressed by the Master of Shadow Stream, but also relied on Morning Star's individual skills to suppress Tribulation's last hits.
This meant that Team God had the initiative in the early game.
At the eighth minute, Card Master activated his teleportation ability and flew to the top lane. He coordinated with his jungler, Mantis, to do a roam in the middle lane, and his top lane teammate, Gnar, to rush the tower. The three of them forcibly surrounded and killed Tian Tian's top lane, Kennan, under the tower.
At that time, the players of several clubs in the spectator seats couldn't help but be awestruck. The coaches of the Quick Water Club, who had just finished the first game, also nodded repeatedly.
That's right. In order to play against KING, one had to focus on the top lane.
It could be said that Team God's response was impeccable.
But …
Just as the God Squad on the blue side was slowly building up their advantage, the King Squad on the purple side was slowly showing their ability to resist the pressure.
Everyone was a veteran team in the LPL and had fought against each other countless times.
Team God's overall strength was slightly stronger than Team King's, but Team King was not an existence that could be easily crushed.
When the economic gap between the two sides was pulled to around 2500, God's economic advantage could no longer be easily increased. Despite being at a disadvantage, King's team remained calm and collected. Instead, they calmly and meticulously entered a defensive stance. Eyes were set up along all three routes, including the jungle river. They constantly communicated with each other in the team's voice chat channel, ensuring that they knew each other's first-hand information and the situation online.
As a result, Team God's wild mantis couldn't find the opportunity to gank. Even Morning Star's Card Master couldn't use his second ultimate skill to set up a tempo after successfully killing Dan Kainan with a teleport.
Furthermore …
As time slowly passed, it reached the eleventh or twelfth minute. The system's female voice suddenly announced the kill from the top lane. The camera's perspective quickly switched over, and what they saw was Danar's cold corpse in the middle lane on the blue square.
Kennan solo-killed.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that even though Kynan was being targeted by his opponent in the early stages of the game, he was still able to stabilize his growth. He was even able to seize an opportunity to kill his opponent's top player, Nair, and take him away.
Unbeknownst to Team God … Kynan had matured just like that while the other members of Team God weren't paying attention.
In the next few minutes, the blue team's advantage continued to expand. Although their opponent was a team with unparalleled ability to resist pressure, Team God was also very good at snowballing.
On the purple side, Tian Tian's top laner Kennan seemed to have settled down again after a wave of solo-kills on the top lane. He did not gain any more kills.
Until …
The match reached the fifteen-minute mark.
…
"That was my problem."
Desolate Snow Nightsong was reflecting on his actions. He looked a little annoyed.
Morning Star shook his head. "It wasn't your fault. That was how we should have fought. It was just that we underestimated the Circle God —"
The situation that changed the situation happened on the top lane.
Around 15 minutes into the game, the blue side of the bottom lane, God team's Wildsnow Nightsong and his support teammate, Ella, had successfully demolished the bottom lane tower of the opponent's KG team.
Naturally, the two players on the blue team who had been freed from the bottom lane chose to switch lanes and move to the top lane.
Originally, Gnar on the top lane was being suppressed by Kennan. His outer tower was already in danger, not to mention the purple team's top lane outer tower still had more than two-thirds of its HP left.
Team God's move to switch lanes was done quietly.
Gnar, who had received his teammate's signal, deliberately took the initiative to fight Kennan. His HP was reduced to zero, but at the same time, he managed to reduce Kennan's HP by half.
Gnar then pretended to retreat back to the city.
At the same time …
On the blue team's side, Desolate Snow Nightsong's ADC, Mouse, had already activated his Q skill, "Lurk". He followed his support teammate, Ella, across the river and silently moved toward the top lane.
Logically speaking, this was a pretty good plan.
At this moment, Mouse's damage output was more than enough for him to unleash a series of explosive attacks. Moreover, after confirming that no one was in the purple team's line of sight near the river, Mouse Tucci, who had suddenly appeared in stealth mode, would definitely be able to catch Kainan off guard and instantly kill him before he could react.
As long as he completed the kill, Team God on the top lane would be able to take out the purple team's outer tower and successfully suppress Kennan's growth.
But the problem was —
Although in theory, no one would be able to react to Mouse's ambush in time, but …
Kennan on Tian Tian's side reacted.
That was also the most breathtaking and shocking scene in the entire training competition.
Ella circled around.
Gnar maintained his composure and continued to pretend to return to the city.
Mouse activated his Q skill and quickly approached his target, Kennan, who was at half HP.
Then.
He instantly unleashed his full power!
The Source of Plague, who had suddenly revealed himself, immediately "unleashed his full power" on his target, Heart of Fury, and was about to unleash a torrent of crazy firepower.
However, it was also at that instant that Kainan reacted as fast as lightning when his opponent Mouse launched a sneak attack. When Mouse Tuki's first normal attack was fired, Kainan's backhand Q skill, Kainan's cross dart, was thrown at him almost at the same time.
Hit.
He flashed to dodge Mouse's W skill, Venom Bucket!
Normal attack!
Activate!
Ignite!
The W skill, "Profound Meaning, Lightning Blade", stunned and controlled the target Mouse in an instant. Combined with his ultimate skill, "Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison Pull", the second damage was dealt, and even before the blue team's support, Ella and top lane Gnar, arrived …
Just like that, he completed the counterattack in one go.
Desolate Snow Nightsong facepalmed.
