Sometimes, it was difficult to make the final decision when faced with a choice.
But at the same time, there were also times when the right to make a decision didn't even fall into your hands.
From the perspective of Manchester, England, back to Shanghai, China's Shanghai. In the stadium of the Gold Spear Cup semi-finals, the second BO3 match between Shang Wai and Shang Cai was being played on the big screen on the stage. Currently, there was really no other choice left for the blue team, there was only one —
Passive defense.
The right to speak was completely in the hands of the purple team.
Now, the choice of Shanghai Foreign Team was to continuously push the line and invade the view and resources of the jungle river. Therefore, as the disadvantaged team, Shanghai Financial Team could only try their best to defend and defend.
The top lane's Eye of Twilight – Shen had already made Tiamat, directly announcing that the initiative to push the lane was completely under his control. Now, whether it was clearing troops to push the lane or fighting head on, Lan Bo was no longer a match for them.
"If he makes Tiamat, Shen's solo lane push and 1v1 ability will be obviously strengthened."
"However, there's actually no need for Ben Shen to follow this route."
West Wind and Mo Sheng were discussing and analyzing on the commentator's seat.
"After all, the main damage output of this purple team is Mouse. In this team battle, as long as Mouse uses a big move and explodes perfectly, it's basically a stable harvest. There's no need for Shen to go to the side lane to look for opportunities. Instead of making Tiamat, it might be more suitable to tank —"
West Wind shrugged.
"But it doesn't matter how he makes his move now."
"After all, the advantage of Shanghai Foreign Team is too big."
That was the truth.
In less than ten minutes, they had broken through two of the opponent's outer defense towers. Their economic lead was close to three thousand. Under such circumstances, with a perfect start, the purple team could indeed do whatever they wanted. It was more stable for Shen to tank, but even if they made Tiamat, they could still rely on suppressing Lan Bo on the top lane to gain another advantage —
If Lan Bo was not careful, he might even be killed by Shen alone.
"F * ck, kill alone my ass!"
Below the stage, at the front row of the Shang Cai Esports Association's side, Qiu Le was so angry that he stomped his feet. "If Old Lu was a Lamborghini, would he have been killed by Shen Shang? He should've stopped playing, he might as well let Old Shen go!"
Shen Zhuang, who was suddenly called out, panicked and waved his hands. "I can't do it, I can't do it, I won't stand a chance even if I go —"
Feng Tao's gaze swept across the spectator on the big screen on the stage. His eyebrows were already tightly knitted together.
"No matter what …"
"Right now, we can only try our best to stabilize the situation here."
"It doesn't matter if we're being suppressed. I'm just afraid that the mantis and mouse on the other side will wander around and set the pace …"
…
As mentioned before, the purple squad's lineup could only start to show off in the middle of the group battle. However, if they had a clear advantage in the early stages of the group battle, then the wild mantis and the adc, Mouse, would be able to put pressure on their opponents in advance.
Both of them were heroes who could use Stealth to close the distance and ambush others.
Especially in a situation where the opponent's field of vision was slowly being occupied by their own side, the rats and mantises could play an even greater role.
As the defending team, Shang Cai Team was also at a loss for what to do. They could only try their best to buy Truesight and try their best to set up a good defense in their own jungle and the bushes.
But on the whole, he was still on the defensive.
His field of vision was still more in the hands of the purple squad.
As a result, every time the purple squad finished pushing a wave of minions along the way, they could easily pass through the jungle or retreat into the shadows of Shang Cai Team's field of vision and disappear into the fog. This caused the blue squad's internal voice chat channel to continuously send out warnings and reminders on various lanes.
"Top lane, miss!"
"Mid lane, Kalma is missing. Oh, it's okay, he's still there. He probably just went to F6 to farm."
"Careful, I can't see the mantis. My bottom half of the jungle has been countered."
All sorts of information was gathered, but it was a bit messy and disorderly. This made the members of Team Shang Cai on edge. They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they would be gank by the other side.
Even on the bottom lane, Lin Feng's adc, Vayne, wasn't in a good situation either.
The opposing wave of minions was pushed over. Someone controlled his Night Hunter to stay in front of his second defense tower at the bottom lane, patiently waiting for the minions to enter the tower. But when he saw the two champions of the opponent's duo lane disappear not far away, he still frowned slightly.
Lane control and development …
This was naturally a good thing for his Vayne.
At least she could stabilize the situation.
But at the same time, if the goal was the final victory of this match, then the current pace was far from satisfactory.
Even though the opposing adc, Rat, had such a financial lead, he still didn't plan to forcefully suppress his opponent in the lane. He just kept pushing wave after wave of minions over, leaving his adc, Vayne, with no other way to deal with it.
This was actually the best choice.
It was also the most troublesome problem for Lin Feng.
He wasn't afraid of the opponent even if they forcefully opened up for him, but they didn't. They only used the initiative to push the minions to restrict him while looking for opportunities in the side lane … This made him feel powerless.
The minions stopped at the edge of the blue team's second defense tower's firing range. The blue and purple team's minions once again clashed with each other. Lin Feng patiently controlled Vayne to finish off the enemy's minions one by one.
At this time, he really couldn't rush.
In a situation where he wasn't sure of the position of Rat and Mantis, it was difficult for him to hastily lead the minions out … Even he couldn't guarantee his own safety.
He could only control the minions and slowly develop.
Slowly wait.
Wait for the opponent to give him a chance.
But at this moment, when another minion finished off the minions, Lin Feng's gaze inadvertently glanced forward and saw the opposite support, Wind Lady, floating over from not far away. She cast a True Sight on the grass below his team's jungle.
But she was only supporting Wind Lady.
The opposing adc, Rat, was nowhere to be seen.
Someone's eyelids suddenly twitched.
As if he had realized something, he quickly looked at the minimap.
At this time, close to the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon, Kamiya Saka's support, Hina, had rushed to support Sun Ming's mid lane Card Master. She seemed to be trying to seize an opportunity to gank, but was discovered by the opponent's True Sight on the river. The purple team's mid lane Fan Ma backhanded a Mana Ball that directly blasted Hina, who was originally trying to hide.
Card Master and Hina passed through the grass at the mouth of the river, ready to kill the opponent's True Sight Guard.
Not far away, Kalma seemed to be ready to interfere and move forward.
But …
If this movement and the distance between them were purely for a little harassment, it seemed a little too close —
Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyelids twitched again. Almost instantly, Lin Feng's low voice sounded in his team's live chat channel.
"Mid lane, retreat!"
"There's someone nearby!"
And almost at the same time that someone's voice fell, the live audience watching the battle from God's perspective in the spectator seats suddenly cried out —
Mid lane!
This is going to be bad!
