Although Shi Hang's words sounded a little too simple and crude, they weren't lacking in logic.
Team Minx actually had many shortcomings and weaknesses. After the two training matches this morning, the coaches and players of the various clubs in the major divisions had analyzed these weaknesses.
Lack of team fighting ability.
Their coordination was slightly rough and unpracticed.
Moreover, their tactics were relatively simple, and they did not have the ability to operate in the middle and late stages.
However, the reason why this team was able to defeat the first seeds of the European and North American divisions in one go was because they had two shockingly long "wooden planks."
According to the original principle of a wooden barrel, the shortest wooden plank was usually the one that determined the capacity of the barrel.
But when it came to Team Minx, some common sense principles seemed to have been subverted to a certain extent.
They really were not too limited by their shortcomings.
Instead, it was because they had two long planks with the two cores of the mid and top laner that they could produce amazing results and power in the early and middle stages of a match. Even before their shortcomings were exposed, they had already won at a speed that caught the opponent off guard.
To put it bluntly, it was very easy to defeat Minx.
That was, as long as you could withstand the strong and violent attacks of the two cores in the early and middle stages of the match and maintain the balance of the match until the middle stage, you would basically have a chance of winning.
But while it was easy to say, it was not something that any team could do easily.
For example, the veteran top teams in this season's finals had players in all positions who were not bad, but often there was only one ace player who could truly be the core.
For example, Spoon for MLG.
For example, Autumn for Season.
This was the problem — —
You, one core, blocked one of the other team's cores.
But the other team still had a core. What could you use to block it?
You couldn't block it.
That was the end.
Moreover, the two core players of Team Minx had an extremely aggressive playstyle. As long as they had the upper hand, they would be able to break through your line in the shortest amount of time. They were unlike other top players who were strong but had a steady style. Even when they had the upper hand, they would only slowly snowball …
They were two of the sharpest knives.
They would stab you to the death.
You blocked one, but the other had already pierced through your body.
If Team God were to be Minx's opponent, they would indeed be able to compete with Minx in theory. Perhaps Team God's overall strength might not be stronger than Spoon's, and they might even be at a disadvantage when compared to Team Season, but Team God had the biggest advantage that neither team had —
It also had two cores.
Desolate Snow Nightsong was the ADC, and Morning Star was the mid lane.
Two cores against two cores. Not to mention the difference in the realms of each core's strength, at least in this battle, you and I both have two sabers in our hands, so we don't have to be afraid.
To put it simply, Team God's roster and core composition were the type of team that could withstand Minx's offensive pressure.
This wasn't an issue of the team's strength.
It was just a matter of whether or not the team's attributes countered each other.
Lin Feng, Li Shiyi, and Ceng Rui nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense!"
"Ah Xing can definitely tank Fly in the mid lane."
"The Sword's top lane is suppressing the enemy, and your playing style as an ADC is also offensive. Both sides can snowball at the speed of the top and bottom lanes."
Desolate Snow Nightsong couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Come on, don't think too highly of me. Besides, I'm an ADC, and they're top laners. Even if they have the same advantage in the lane, they can still play a bigger role than me."
Indeed, in theory, both teams were dual-core players. Apart from the two mid laners, Morning Star and Fly, the remaining main event was to see who would be able to gain a greater advantage and play a greater role, between Wildsnow Nightsong's ADC and The Sword's top laner.
But Desolate Snow Nightsong's words were also very realistic.
If it was dragged to the middle or late stages, an ADC's role and contribution to the team would undoubtedly be more important than a top laner.
But when it came to the early and mid stages —
In a situation where they had the same growth, three ADC's were not enough for one top laner.
At this time, Shi Hang intimately put his arm around Desolate Snow Nightsong's shoulder and whispered in his ear.
"Sigh, I guess you won't be able to clear your name after being suppressed by Blade in the lane this morning."
"If you can defeat The Sword, that's probably the only way for you to regain your pride —"
The next second.
Desolate Snow Nightsong's eyelids twitched. He gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind.
"Sure!"
"Isn't it just competing with the top laner in the early stages? I'm going all out!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Next to him, Nian Thirteen was also full of fighting spirit. "Sure, your God will go first. Let's see when you guys are done. Assassins will also go for a round with Minx!"
After all, Assassins was also the first seed in the LMS region. They should be able to meet Minx's standards …
But in the next second, a certain someone casually said,
"You guys haven't even played against BW."
"And you want to play against Minx? Can you do it?"
Nian Thirteen was instantly exasperated. "F * ck! That was an accident! Damn it, I said it wouldn't count!! "
…
After a bout of laughter, Ceng Rui suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, why didn't I see SSK in the Korean region this morning?"
The question hit the nail on the head.
As for Lin Feng and the others, they had spent the entire morning wandering around the two floors, watching many of the training matches. Basically, they had seen all of the top teams in each of the competition zones. Even if they hadn't seen the matches themselves, they had heard a lot of news from other sources.
Among them, Fate and Minx from the Korean LCK region didn't have many matches. At least, they were not as active as the other more hardworking teams.
Fate had played three matches, and Minx had played two matches no matter how picky they were. Moreover, the two matches that Minx had played were quite heavyweight matches. They had even become a hot topic among the teams and esports media that morning.
But …
Only SSK, the first seed in the Korean region and the publicly recognized number one team in the world, seemed to have disappeared for the entire morning.
Shi Hang, who was beside him, also came to a realization.
"Oh right."
"I haven't seen them yet."
"Our Quick Water was originally planning to challenge SSK and challenge the Great Demon King …"
Nian Thirteen frowned. "I haven't seen them either. I haven't seen a single SSK player this morning."
Li Shiyi was a little confused.
"That … doesn't make sense."
Indeed, it didn't make sense.
SSK, the world's strongest team, would definitely be the first to receive all kinds of attention if there was even the slightest hint of movement. It was impossible for them to have disappeared for the entire morning.
Only Morning Star and Huangxue Nightsong looked at each other with a slightly strange expression. In the end, Morning Star was the first to speak after a moment of silence.
"This … our God knows a little about the situation."
