"When facing Maple, don't ever let your guard down, even when you've gained a huge advantage."
This phrase was widely spread in the professional esports circle during the S1 season. Who knew how many top professional esports players at that time had to go through the blood and tears of those top players to come to this truth.
As one of the top three mid laners in the world, Phoenix, along with a certain someone and Han Shihao, naturally had the deepest understanding of this truth.
The previous exchange of blows … had already made him vigilantly aware of the astonishing degree of recovery of his old friend's strength and state.
Even though the purple team seemed to have gained the upper hand in the battle, it was still far from the time to let their guard down.
Unless the crystal of the enemy base was about to explode, they had to be on high alert at all times.
However, he was the only one who understood this principle the best. His other teammates in the purple team might not be able to understand it as thoroughly as he did. Since they had to keep a certain someone's identity a secret, Phoenix could only try his best to give out instructions and warnings in the team's voice chat.
"Be careful.
"Stay calm. Don't let your guard down.
"Slow down the pace. Focus on your vision. Nibble away at their jungle.
"Don't give Syndra a chance."
That last sentence was the one he repeated the most in the team's live chat channel, and he did not get tired of it.
But even so —
Still.
The situation he was most worried about still happened.
…
In the 24th minute of the match.
On the spot, the economic gap between the blue and purple sides had already widened to 5,500. The blue side's first tower had already been destroyed, and the bottom lane and even the second tower had already been lost. Coincidentally, the third dragon had spawned.
The first two dragons, one earth and one fire, had fallen into the purple team's hands.
Now, the third dragon had spawned …
Another earth dragon.
It could be said that this match's system was quite unfriendly to the blue team. Not a single wind dragon or water dragon had spawned. Instead, they had spawned these deadly earth and fire dragons.
Many of the Legend players watching the match couldn't help but be overjoyed.
This little dragon was farming …
They were too considerate!
The third Earth Dragon was especially important. As long as they could take down this Earth Dragon, the purple army would have two Earth Dragons in their hands. Whether it was taking down the tower or the next Earth Dragon, their efficiency would be doubled.
It could even be said that once the Earthen Dragon was taken, there was basically no suspense in this match.
Moreover, the blue team's overall economy was lagging behind. The heroes' levels, economy, and equipment development were also lagging behind the purple team. If they fought head-on, the purple team's chances of winning were more than 70%!
"It's stable, right?"
A substitute member of Legend clenched his fists in excitement.
That was right.
If the blue team wanted to snatch the Earth Dragon, they would have to fight a group battle, but they couldn't beat them in a group battle.
But if they didn't fight as a team, giving up the Earth Dragon basically meant that they had no hope of making a comeback in this match.
No matter how he looked at it, the purple side was going to win.
He didn't see any possibility of a variable occurring.
Of course —
To be honest, the development of the blue army's mid-laner Sindera was still very good. He was still far ahead in terms of level and equipment. He was closely following the purple army's mid-laner Inferior Murlocs, and there was an inseparable gap between them.
This was probably the only point that the blue team could pose a threat to their opponents.
But this point alone wasn't enough to worry about. After all, it could be seen from the pace of the match that Sindera's damage was high, but it could only be considered a single point of burst. More importantly, the other members of the blue team did not have enough synergy with their mid-laners. It was difficult for them to form effective coordination. Often, when Sindera was able to kill one person, the other teammates would either not be able to keep up, or they would be finished off by their opponents even faster.
After all, this was a team game.
Synergy between teammates was still very important.
The Legend Team Two mid-laner did not participate in this match. He couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.
"Even if we win … it's not particularly glorious."
According to the Chinese, there was a special term for this, called "winning through unfair means."
It was indeed an unfair victory. Many of the Legend team members who were watching the match nodded subconsciously. As members of the strongest team in Europe, they had their own pride and modesty. What they hoped to see was a fair match to achieve victory.
But this match …
In fact, it was only in terms of teamwork that there was a gap between the two teams.
Their captain did not suppress his opponent, 006's Sindera, in the early stages of the match. He only managed to gain the upper hand in the middle of the match by relying on his familiarity with the team members and superior commanding skills.
006's Sindera …
Although it looked like the blue team members were not weak, it was more like they were fighting alone and struggling to hold on.
But what could one person do … no matter how brave he was?
The spectating Legend members harbored such thoughts until the 25th minute of the match.
To be precise.
It was the 25th minute and 30 seconds of the match.
When the heroes of the purple team arrived at the Little Dragon Fjord, they were ready to fight the third Earthen Dragon.
The five players of the blue team chased after them as if unwilling to give up, ready to stop them.
The formation of the two teams was in a stalemate in front of the river.
Just at this moment that no one expected.
On the blue team's side, someone in front of the computer screen controlled his mid lane, Dark Lord, to suddenly move forward.
On the purple team's side, Phoenix suddenly sensed something. His pupils shrank and he immediately sent out a warning signal. "Ding ding ding" sounds exploded in front of the Little Dragon Fjord.
"Retreat!"
“Back！ Back！”
The next second.
The mouse and keyboard movements and tapping operations suddenly exploded like lightning, forming a single line!
Under someone's control, the mid lane, Sindera, abruptly dashed forward in a shocking manner!
The moment he closed the distance and landed.
Skill E's "Weakling Retreat" instantly connected with Q's "Shadow Magic Ball" to form a double combo!
The moment the energy ball appeared out of thin air, it was propelled forward by a vast and invisible force!
It drew a perfectly straight line in the air!
The purple team's formation crashed into the opponent's formation!
It hit the purple team's jungler!
It penetrated through!
It hit the ADC, Verus!
It hit the top laner, Daomei!
In the blink of an eye, the three heroes of the Purple Army's solo jungler and ADC were suddenly stunned by Syndra's Blink EQ Double Knockback. The health bar above their heads dropped by a huge chunk at the same time!
At the same time, someone's low voice suddenly sounded in the blue team's live chat channel.
“Go！”
As soon as the voice finished.
The blue team's jungler, Gavin, stabbed forward with E's "German Army Flag," followed by Q's "Giant Dragon Strike," followed by a lightning-fast [Blink]!
EQ Blink's two movements were completed in one go!
It was like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, it pierced through the bodies of the three top laner ADC heroes of the purple team!
All of them …
He was sent flying into the air and controlled!
The conference room was suddenly in an uproar!
The Legend team spectators were shocked and exclaimed in disbelief!
This wave …
Something big happened!!
