It was just as Lin Feng said.
In the fierce battle on the top lane, everyone's attention was focused on the top lane. They marveled at the game and confrontation between the players on both sides. They were speechless at Morning Star's perfect and timely flanking. They even felt sorry for Ike of The Sword …
But from an objective point of view, the biggest problem in this wave was actually not Ike.
In fact, even though Morning Star's Verus had grasped the perfect timing to provide support, it wasn't all because of him.
The problem was in the middle lane.
In fact, it was also a very simple and direct reason. If Ike of The Sword could confirm the situation in advance and receive a reminder to understand the intentions of the opponent's Verus, then Ike might not be so aggressive in this wave of top lane.
After all, no matter how good Ike's development was, no matter how strong The-Sword's individual operation was, he was not afraid of the opponent's jungler Widow ambush in a 1v2, but in a 1v3 situation …
He would still think twice.
However, this wave of game on the top lane from the start to the appearance of Verus took almost half a minute. During this half a minute, when Verus disappeared from the view of the minimap, the purple side Minx Team did not hear even half a warning from their own middle lane in the team's live chat channel.
Not even a signal was sent.
So, to put it more directly.
This time, they really wanted to put the blame on Fly, the purple side mid laner.
For The-Sword, his personality was not as overly arrogant as his mid laner. Although he had incomparable strength and was also the core leader in his own team, his attitude towards his teammates in other teams was at most a little indifferent. At least, he would not scold and teach his teammates a lesson whenever he was unhappy like Fly.
But this wave …
And it was true that Ike's rhythm was hurt.
This should not have happened.
That was why he said such a thing at this time. Although his tone was still indifferent without anger, the fact that he directly called out Fly's name showed his dissatisfaction with his own mid laner.
And Fly could only embarrassedly admit his mistake.
On the one hand, his status in the club team was only equal to that of The-Sword, and he had nothing to rely on; on the other hand, he really could not quibble with this wave.
As a qualified mid laner, he should not have not sent a signal to his teammates when Verus disappeared for so long.
But he did not send a signal.
Of course, it was not intentional.
But … he really neglected and forgot.
…
Although anyone could have made such a mistake and there was no need to look into it, the truth that even Fly himself didn't want to face and reflect on was that … it wasn't an accidental mistake on his part.
After Verus disappeared from the line, the Lamia he controlled, Cassiopeia, was so surprised that she immediately seized the time to throw herself into her safe and stable single-line last hit development rhythm, which led to her subconsciously selectively ignoring and forgetting other things.
And the reason for this … was that the ten minutes or so in the early stages of the match made Fly, the ace mid laner of Team Minx, feel an unprecedented sense of suffocation and mental and physical exhaustion.
When Verus left, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
His whole body relaxed.
He did not have the energy to think about anything else.
This was a very subtle subconscious. Perhaps Fly could not believe and admit it, but the truth was that facing Morning Star, the mid laner captain of Team God, actually gave him a faint psychological shadow. He subconsciously hoped to avoid a direct confrontation with the opponent, or at least to buy himself as much time as possible to catch his breath.
Of course, Fly himself did not realize this. Even if he did, he would never admit it. The other members of the Minx team, including The-Sword, were also fully focused on the game at this time. Even if they felt that Fly was a little strange, they would not have the mind to look into it.
But.
This did not mean that no one in the audience noticed the problem.
"This is … he's about to lose confidence after being beaten."
On the side of the five members of the SSK team, Cube once again pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and gave an evaluation. There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Ray, the team's ADC member, shrugged.
"So, this is bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
The jungler, Wolf, also shook his head, slightly regretful. "In fact, if Warrior could advance this year, it might be more ideal."
Indeed, although the strength of the Minx team, a dark horse, amazed the strong teams of the major divisions, and they even defeated the first seeded teams of the European and North American divisions in two consecutive matches in the morning, this rookie team of the LCK division was still too young.
There were too many unstable factors.
Against some teams that countered each other, they could indeed achieve unexpected results with unstoppable force.
But when faced with a really tough team … a lot of problems were immediately exposed.
Take Fly's situation for example. If Orian, the seventh king-tier mid laner of the Warrior team, went up, he would not have made such a serious low-level mistake.
"Indeed, he's still too young."
On the other side of the crowd, Shi Hang also clicked his tongue.
"It's understandable that he played smoothly in a favorable situation, but when he encountered a disadvantageous situation, he became like this. This Fly has a big problem."
Next to him, Tang Bingyao, Li Shiyi, and Ceng Rui also listened and nodded in agreement.
An Xin, on the other hand, smiled and said,
"But …"
"It depends on the situation as well."
"After all, there aren't many players who can suppress this Minx mid laner to a disadvantageous situation."
This sentence was irrefutable.
Yes.
Even if the mistakes made by Fly in this wave were questioned by people, and they could see the weakness of this player in a disadvantageous situation, then again, against this Minx mid laner, how many people could suppress him to a disadvantageous situation?
At this moment, the seven kings, four emperors, and the top players of each division had gathered in the first training room. But if they were to filter according to this standard, it was estimated that no more than three people would be qualified.
The game reached the 15th minute.
The number of players on the field temporarily stabilized at a tie of 5: 5.
However, after the wave of kills on the top lane ended Ike's kills, the rhythm of the blue team, Team God, seemed to have picked up.
15 minutes and 45 seconds.
At the bottom lane of Summoner's Canyon, Snowy Nightsong's ADC, Policewoman, cooperated with his support teammate, LuLu, to press into the tower and finally uproot and demolish the opponent's outer tower.
Then, Team God conveniently switched lanes.
The duo turned to the top lane.
On the one hand, this was to protect their own top lane's outer tower. On the other hand, it was to relieve the pressure on their top laner, Shen, and at the same time, to suppress Ike, the purple team's top laner.
