Offstage, the main players of SSK discussed how Team God could break through the current situation. Regardless of whether the final solution was feasible or risky, at least one thing was clear —
The blue team's Team God couldn't afford to drag on any longer.
Although dragging it out until Verus and Policewoman's three-piece DPS equipment was completed was the most ideal time for Team God to engage in a group battle, their current opponent, Team Minx, would not give them the time and opportunity to do so.
Team God had split the top and middle lanes.
They had already successfully demolished Team God's two defense towers in the top and middle lanes.
If they continued to "cooperate" with their opponents and drag out the tempo, they would never be able to defend against Team The-Sword's Ike. They were destined to be constantly suppressed into a passive and irreversible situation.
Team Minx, on the purple side, had made a comeback and used the same strategy.
But this time, Ike went to the bottom lane and prepared to destroy the blue team's last outer defense tower. Now, the other four members of the purple team were pushing forward as a group. This kind of separation of the top and bottom could greatly restrict the blue team's ability to split up their reinforcements.
It was too late.
If you focused on defending the top lane, then Team The-Sword's Ike would definitely destroy the bottom lane's second defense tower. Once the bottom lane minions were pushed up to the high ground, the problem would become even more serious.
But if you chose to split up your troops to defend the bottom lane …
Team Minx, on the purple side, would retreat into the jungle and turn to Dalong Fjord. Then, they would force a group battle at Dalong Fjord.
This was destined to force Team God to make a choice.
Either they would release Dalong.
Or Ike would single-handedly clear the high ground at the bottom lane.
Or worse, if both situations happened at the same time, then the outcome of this match could already be seen.
So …
From the perspective of Team God, they could not make such a choice.
Because making a choice actually meant that they would be dragged into the rhythm that their opponents wanted. No matter what, they were destined to lose. If they wanted to truly turn the tables, they had to break free from their opponents' rhythm. They had to take the initiative to fight for what they wanted and fight for the opportunity that belonged to them.
But there was not much time left for them.
…
Time: 27 minutes and 30 seconds.
On Summoner's Canyon's top lane, the four members of the purple team led a wave of troops towards the blue team's high ground tower. Although it was difficult for EZ to directly walk up to the tower due to his normal attack range, EZ and his support Fan Mom were stalling for time.
At the same time, The Sword's Erik had also brought his minions to the opponent's second tower at the bottom lane and began to wear down the HP of the defense tower in a rhythmic manner.
It was only a matter of time before the second tower on the blue square was destroyed.
Looking at Ike's speed, it would only take another 20 seconds for the defense tower to be demolished.
Next, the minions would threaten Team God's high ground in the blue team's bottom lane. If that happened, Team God's five players would really be roasted over the fire.
Many spectators from the various club teams looked at the countdown and couldn't help but think of Minx's other two matches in the morning.
During the match against the European MLG team …
That should be around 28 minutes, right?
Although it could be said that Team God's performance in the afternoon's early to mid-match had been completely unexpected and stunning, no one could have imagined that they would still slowly fall into an irreversible situation at this point in time.
Team Minx's tempo was completely set.
It seemed like it would be difficult for Team God to turn the tables on the blue square.
(Even Team God can't do anything about it?)
This thought rose in the minds of many spectators, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.
In the morning, it was Season, followed by MLG, and now, it was Team God … The first seeds of the three major regions were about to be completely wiped out. All of them had fallen at the hands of a new dark horse team from the Korean region.
But that wasn't all.
As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common. Veteran teams losing to newcomers was the norm in esports.
However, the most depressing thing was that Team Minx clearly had all the flaws that new teams had, but they relied on their two core players, the top and mid laner, to win the matches consecutively. It was like a martial arts master who was proficient in all kinds of advanced martial arts techniques, but he was bare-fisted and knocked to the ground by a brute with two kitchen knives …
Even if they lost, they still lost in a way that made people feel vexed!
This kind of team, this kind of barbaric and simple tactical style …
What did they rely on to win all the way?
Yes.
Barbaric was also a kind of strength.
But the esports scene … shouldn't be dominated by such a barbaric style!
This was what the various club players were most unwilling to see. But no matter how unwilling they were, it seemed like the pace of the match was slowly advancing in this direction.
…
Match time: 27 minutes and 45 seconds.
At the bottom lane of Summoner's Canyon, the blue team's second defense tower's HP had been whittled down to less than a third. Even Team God's top laner, Twilight Eye, had been whittled down to critical health and was preparing to return to the city.
This meant that they had already given up on the bottom lane's second defense tower.
Looking at this scene, the various club players couldn't help but feel their hearts sink. According to this estimation, in about ten seconds, the bottom lane's minions would threaten the blue team's high ground.
It seemed like there was really no other way.
And on the periphery of the spectators, someone and Autumn who were standing side by side seemed to be discussing a similar topic:
"15 seconds?"
"10 seconds."
Autumn nodded slightly after hearing someone's conclusion.
"It's time to act."
Match time: 27 minutes and 50 seconds.
The blue team's second defense tower collapsed with a loud rumble and turned into ruins. Ike led a new wave of minions and was ready to advance towards the opponent's high ground.
At this moment.
The system female voice announced that the bottom lane's defense tower had been broken through at the same time as Summoner's Canyon.
In front of the blue team's high ground.
After a stalemate, a normal attack followed by a Q skill, the Piercing Arrow accurately hit the purple team's mid laner in the distance. The instant Lamia's HP was depleted —
In front of the blue team's mid laner seat.
A burst of extremely rapid mouse and keyboard tapping sounds exploded like a torrential rain.
Accompanied by an explosion of fine golden light.
When the system OB's God's camera angle didn't even have time to move back.
Even before everyone in the audience could react.
Verus, the blue team's mid laner.
Flash Dash.
First big move.
A "Corrupt Chain" shot out from the bowstring and hit the chest of Cassiopeia, the purple square-centered Lamia in the distance!
