Lane swap?!
A wave of exclamations erupted from the spectator stands.
Many of the spectators were in disbelief. The blue team's reactions were slower than the audience's, but Lin Feng, who was sitting in front of his computer screen, had also noticed something. For the first time in his life, he had a look of surprise on his face.
The match had been going on for 1 minute and 40 seconds.
Lin Feng and Kamimiya Saka had been helping Dou Zi's Jungling Prince kill a few monsters and were heading towards the bottom lane. Meanwhile, Lan Bo, who was on the top lane, had activated his Q skill and was heading towards the minions. But then … he suddenly saw his opponent's support, Kaede, appear in his field of vision!
Kaede immediately started caging the minions.
Behind her, the purple team's ADC, Mouse, also revealed himself.
Lu Ze's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.
"Holy shit! What the hell?! "
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
That move …
He hadn't expected it at all.
Although it did not matter which ADC he chose, it was reasonable to say that Vayne would be weaker than other ADC heroes in the early stages of the game.
Correspondingly, the purple team's ADC, Mouse, and the support, Kaede, should be in a slightly safer position.
But even so …
He hadn't expected his opponent to make such a choice.
Yes.
It was a complete "show of weakness."
Almost no one had chosen to switch lanes since S3 and S4. From S5 to today's professional scene, it was almost impossible to see a professional team switching lanes at the start of a match.
It wasn't common in casual matches either.
If it did happen … then it was because the side that switched lanes had no confidence in their early game and was determined to avoid a direct confrontation with the opponent's duo lane.
Now that they were doing this to an outsider team, it was a stark contrast to Zou Siyuan's arrogant and conceited demeanor before the match.
"Is he really scared of Lin Feng?"
Qiu Le, who was sitting in the front row of the spectator area, came back to his senses after being stunned for a while. He could not help but laugh out loud.
"Aiyo, I'm dying of laughter! The guy with the surname Zou was so arrogant, but he was beaten like a turtle in the first round. How could he change the line at the beginning of the game? Lin Feng only got Vayne! "
The girls from Room 312, who were sitting in the back row, were also shocked. Zhou Xiaoyao's eyes were so wide that they were about to fall out.
"Hey, what kind of joke is this? It's just Vayne, okay? Why did they switch lanes?"
"That's so embarrassing!"
Even the foreign eSports Association's own members and friends couldn't help but look at each other, and the clamor of cheering from before couldn't help but weaken at this time.
Because …
It was too difficult to find an excuse for this.
The blue team's bottom lane this time was not particularly strong, at least not as good as the Obama-Gabron duo from the previous round. But the Mole and the Wind Lady on their own top lane still made such a decision, as if they were determined to not play a regular lane against the other side
It was really … somewhat inexcusable.
…
On the other hand, West Wind and Mo Sheng recovered from their momentary shock and started to analyze the situation more objectively and rationally from the perspective of a professional commentator.
"Yes, although it is a little surprising … but if you think about it, it seems that the decision made by the foreign teams isn't completely unreasonable."
"In the early stages of the game, if it's just a regular bottom lane matchup, no matter what, Rat and Wind Lady will still be suppressed by them."
"Be careful. You'll have to wait until level 6 before you can use your ultimate skill."
"A jungler Mantis might not be able to find an opportunity to gank from the bottom lane."
"So, instead of staying at the bottom lane to resist the pressure even though I know I can't win … the choice to switch lanes now seems more straightforward and straightforward — I know I can't win against you, so I won't fight against you. I'll go straight to the top lane. The two of us can suppress you and one of us can solo Lamborghini, right? Anyway, it doesn't matter if I switch to the bottom lane to resist."
"Also —" Mo Sheng added, "To be honest, Shen's ability to resist pressure at the bottom lane in the early stages of the game might be slightly stronger — and after reaching level six, he still has the ability to roam around the map and is more flexible than Lamborghini."
The two commentators' analysis was quite detailed and thorough. For the live audience below the stage, it was even simpler and more straightforward to understand.
One was to switch lanes. Anyway, it didn't seem like they were at a loss and didn't have to pay too much of a price.
The second was to avoid a head-on matchup and the ADC heroes of both sides could steadily develop … Considering the individual strength of the ADC players of both sides, it was definitely more profitable for the foreign teams!
"That's not all."
In the front row of the audience, Qiu Yijie frowned and communicated with the old jungler next to him.
"If the two players switch lanes at the start of the game, then the pace of tower pushing will definitely be much faster than under normal circumstances."
"But once they finish pushing the opponent's defense tower, Mouse's flexibility is definitely stronger than Vayne's. Even as an ADC, he can roam around and sneak around like a jungler. Vayne can't do that."
The old jungler of the same team nodded, and the expression on his face became a little solemn.
"More importantly, if the pace of tower pushing increases, then the progress of this game will also enter the middle stage faster."
"But under the same stable development situation … Mouse's role is still stronger than Vayne's in the middle stage of the game."
Qiu Yijie subconsciously narrowed his eyes and looked at the big LCD screen on the stage. At this moment, from God's perspective, he could already see the purple foreign team's ADC, Mouse, and support, Wind Girl, rushing directly towards the top lane.
"No matter what the reason is, it's good that it's a fluke —"
"The foreign team's strategy of switching lanes really seems to have a miraculous effect."
…
The game had already been going on for a little over two minutes.
The two-person lane combos on both sides had already begun to develop their DPS online.
At this time, the blue team's voice chat channel was filled with Lu Ze's complaints.
"F * ck! What the hell are you doing? "
"Isn't this f * cking disgusting?"
Sun Ming gloated a little. "To put it bluntly, it's just that they're afraid of Lin Feng. They pick the soft ones to bully. You can just grow up wretchedly."
In any case, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for him to fight against Karma as a mid laner. Both sides would just have to push the lane, and even if he lost some HP in the early stages of the game, Karma wouldn't be able to kill him with a single Fan Mother.
Dou Zi, on the other hand, could vaguely sense the dangerous aura coming from the enemy's strategy of switching lanes. She instinctively frowned.
"Lin Feng?"
It was the habit of asking someone for advice.
Even though he was the captain of the team, he was still happy to put the burden of responsibility on the shoulders of a higher ranked person when he had someone to rely on.
Lin Feng snapped out of his momentary surprise and nodded.
"Hmm, this is interesting."
"But it's fine."
"I'll do the same."
