As the match neared seven minutes, the economic gap between the blue and purple teams had widened to a little over 1500.
The purple team's foreign team …
They had the lead.
Of course, the economic lead mainly came from the destroyed HP tower on the top lane. The number of kills was 1: 1, with the two ADC heroes each taking a kill.
But —
At this stage, it had to be said that Mouse's kills were more useful than Vayne's.
"It's mainly because Vayne has a hard time finding a suitable environment to deal damage and carry …" Zephyr lamented on the commentator's seat. "Vayne's strong period is still in the middle and late stages."
But Mouse was different.
Not to mention the mid-stage team battle, Mouse Tucci, with his ultimate skill, could just find an angle to deal an astonishing burst of damage and finish the job. Even in the early stage, with the Q skill "Lurk", Root of Plague could activate Stealth at any time to find a chance to steal a kill.
The wave of kill cards in the middle lane was the best example.
In the front row of the spectator seats, the captains of Tongji and Fudan had completely straightened their backs. Their eyes were fixed on the spectator's screen with solemn expressions.
This round …
The blue team was really having a hard time.
This was something they hadn't expected before the start of the match. Originally, they just thought that Zou Siyuan of the foreign team would bring out his own ADC, Mouse, and use such a surprising strategy to switch lanes. Perhaps this match would be a little more exciting.
But now —
It wasn't just that.
Right now, the purple side's Team Shang Wai was gradually gaining and expanding their advantage, forcing the blue side's Team Shang Cai into a passive situation.
After completing a wave of wandering gank in the middle lane, Mouse and his support, Wind Girl, chose to return to the city. They quickly updated their equipment in the spring water equipment store, and then hurried back to the bottom lane.
And because their team's jungler, Mantis, cooperated with Twilight Eye in the top lane to defend the tower, the purple team's outer tower in the bottom lane …
It was really being steadily defended.
This caused the Blue side, Shang Cai Team, to lose a top lane defense tower for nothing. This meant that Shang Cai Team's strategy of swapping lanes was completely effective.
"It's good to switch back to a normal lane. In a 2v2 like this, Vayne and Hino can still defeat the opponent, right?"
On the Shang Cai Esports Association's side, Qiu Le couldn't help but shout, "Even if we're done, we can still push down the other side's tower!"
But before he could finish, Vice President Deng Zhe shook his head and interrupted him.
"It's meaningless."
"It's impossible for the other side to give up their tower so easily. As long as Lin Feng and Shrine Junior fight fiercely at the bottom lane, the minions just need to press forward, the other side's wild mantis will definitely swim over at the first instance. Moreover, don't forget that the other side's top laner, Shen Xiao, has reached Level Six. He'll be able to support the bottom lane at any moment."
Indeed.
Even if he was killed under the tower once in the early stages, his level and development at this time were almost the same as Rambo's top laner. But for a hero like Twilight Eye, as long as he reached Level Six, his ability to move and support would still be far stronger than Rambo's. Moreover, he could easily play a huge role.
"So even if Old Sun's card finds an opportunity to fly down the bottom lane, at most, he'll enter the battlefield together with Shen Xiao."
"At most, it'll be a 3v3."
Deng Zhe adjusted the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose and made a rather gloomy conclusion.
"And if that's the case —"
"Shen Xiao will tank the damage in the frontline, Hino will protect him, and Mouse will directly use his ultimate skill in a small-scale team fight. Their explosive damage output will still be much higher than Vayne's."
…
To put it bluntly, Vayne's combat ability at this time was actually not good enough.
Her equipment and level were not up yet.
Her damage output was not enough.
The gap between her and Mouse, the ADC of the other side, was not something that could be made up by skill alone. It was purely because of the different characteristics of the two sides' ADC heroes.
Therefore, even though Lin Feng clearly understood this point, he still appeared to be calm and unhurried.
"It's fine."
"Let's develop first."
However, even though Vayne, the ADC of the blue team, was able to remain calm, for the top foreign team of the purple team, after such a beautiful start in the second match, the next step was to further snowball their advantage.
The match lasted for a little over eight minutes.
In the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon, another wave of battle broke out.
Jungler Prince, the blue team's jungler, moved to the middle lane. Noticing the movement of his jungler, the card master quickly and decisively moved forward and used his W skill to draw a yellow card, instantly stunning his target, Fan Mother.
Prince Carwyn strode forward decisively and followed up with a second EQ Dash.
However, it was also at this instant that the Purple Square Center Single Fan Mommy, who had shaken off Drizzt's yellow card, instantly activated her E skill to accelerate. With a Right Angle Dance, she evaded the Prince's EQ by a hair's breadth. With a backhand, she unleashed an Energy Chain of W skill to bind the Card Master of her opponent!
At the same time, a purplish-white light shone from Kalma's body.
Twilight Eye's ultimate skill —
Merciful Deliverance!
The spectators below the stage exclaimed one after another. Dan Shen, whose development had been affected by the lane change, did not expect to level up to Level 6 at this time. He perfectly used an ultimate skill to support the middle lane!
Fan Mother's second RQ combo was launched.
The mana ball strengthened by Sanskrit blasted out and hit the card master.
A large amount of HP was directly detonated.
The second phase of W skill was triggered and the card master, who could not break free from the range of the energy chain, was confined to the spot.
Shen's ultimate skill landed.
He directly used his E skill to taunt and control!
The second phase of W skill instantly pulled the translucent energy sword to himself and his teammate Fan Mother. The 1.75-second defensive barrier perfectly took another wave of damage from the opponent's card and Prince.
An A.
The additional magic damage from the passive effect of Q skill "Profound — Screen Blade" was triggered.
Another normal attack, along with Fan Mother's normal attack damage, took away the low health card's head.
"An enemy hero has been slain!"
The system's female voice suddenly announced the kill from the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon.
Shen got the kill.
Prince had no choice but to retreat.
The cheers and screams of the eSports Association members in the back row of the audience were almost like thunder, while the faces of the Financial eSports Association members in the front row were pale.
This …
This wave was another big injury.
Prince's gank failed and the opponent counterattacked and killed Shen. The development of the opponent's top laner was going to be even better.
"If Shen is careful … it's also a very tricky point."
West Wind took a light breath in the commentator's seat.
As the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone.
Almost at the same time that a battle broke out in the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon, a system kill announcement that caught everyone completely off guard came like lightning from the far bottom lane. Naturally, it also rang in the ears of the blue team's Financial eSports Association members.
"An-ally-has-been-slained!"
