For the purple team, there was only one way for the Crown team to win this round of training competition.
What they needed to do was to surround Policewoman and push forward as a group, bringing up the tempo of a quick attack to push down the tower. But because the blue team had heroes like Jesse and Malzahar in their lineup, they had a strong ability to clear out the enemy's troops and defend the tower. This made it difficult for Policewoman to forcefully take down the tower.
And if they were in a stalemate in front of the opponent's defense tower for too long, it would be easy for the opponent's EZ or Jesse to poke them. Even if they were not careful, the opponent would seize the opportunity to attack the backline.
So for now, the purple team needed to stick together and not be in a stalemate with the opponent. They needed heroes like Ox-Head, Shen, and Blind Monk to open up the opponent first. After the team battle started, they could rely on Policewoman's explosive damage to complete the harvest.
But come to think of it …
If Ox-Head was the choice to open up the team first, then Policewoman would lack enough protection around her. It was very likely that the situation in the previous wave of battle in the middle lane would occur. For example, Nian Thirteen's jungler Mantis would seize the opportunity to cut into the backline again, which would pose a fatal threat to Policewoman.
This meant that the current situation of the Crown team was somewhat difficult.
If they wanted to win in a team battle … there were too many details to consider.
There could be no mistakes in any of the links.
In contrast, the blue team's Assassin team's strategy for winning this training match was extremely clear and simple.
If they really wanted to fight head-on, if Policewoman found a suitable environment to deal damage, and with the protection of Ox-Head and Shen, and even Blind Monk could use his ultimate move to kick the Assassin away, then perhaps the blue team would not be easy to fight.
So.
I won't fight head-on with you in such an open and aboveboard battle.
I'll split up.
…
The game reached the 18th minute.
On the spot, the ten heroes of the blue and purple teams returned to the fountain for a round of replenishment. After that, they walked down the high ground again and rushed to the three lanes. The spectators of the various clubs could not help but make a commotion.
What they saw was the Assassin Squad on the blue side. The three heroes, Void Prophet, EZ, and Sun Maiden, were heading towards the middle lane, while the jungler, Mantis, was heading towards the bottom lane, while Jayz was heading towards the top lane.
One-three-one split up.
"Actually, one-three-one or four-one-one is about the same."
Lin Feng, who was sitting in the front row of the crowd, commented,
Thirteen's Mantis just needs to wander around the side of the battlefield. If there's an opportunity, it will directly cut into the back of the battlefield. If there's no opportunity, it will go down to the bottom lane and invade the jungle or push the line. "
"It's very agile —"
Indeed, it was just as Lin Feng had said. Even if the Blue Assassin Battle Team had only lost four points, it would still be enough to cause enormous trouble for the Purple Crown Battle Team.
This was because Jayz's development was also very good at this time. He was able to carry the lane and dismantle the tower very quickly. More importantly, the only player on the purple side who could defend against Jayz was Twilight's Eye Shen. In a 1v1 situation, Shen was not Jayz's opponent at all.
Caution could not stop Jesse from destroying the tower.
Even if Shen ate a few waves of poke, there was a high possibility that Jess would cross the tower and kill him in a critical state.
Therefore, with just this 41 point range, the blue side Assassin Team could slowly drag the Crown Team down in the mid lane, and it was enough to put the opponent in an extremely difficult position.
Not to mention … the existence of Nian Thirteen's Mantis.
Originally, it was not a particularly suitable choice to let a jungler go to the side to split the lane, but Nian Thirteen's Mantis Kazik had developed too well. Moreover, the hero Void Predator itself was flexible enough. Kazik could carry the line at the bottom lane while invading the opponent's jungle. If the Crown Team sent the Blind Monk to defend, the result would be even worse than Shen —
With the current damage output of Mantis, one set of attacks could directly kill the Brittle Blind Monk.
Moreover, Mantis did not need to keep pushing the line at the bottom lane. After carrying a wave of creeps, it would immediately escape into the jungle river. If it could find the Blind Monk, it would kill him directly. If it could not, it could always find an opportunity to turn back to the middle lane and make the first move.
Whether it was 41 points or 131 points, the Assassin Battle Team now had an extremely flexible tactical choice.
"This time, the Crown Team is really going to suffer."
Ceng Rui sighed.
"If the Assassin Battle Team is allowed to split the lane like this, the tower pushing rhythm and tower count advantage brought by Blade Policewoman in the early stages will all be gone."
Originally, the Crown Team's tactical system, with Policewoman as the core ADC, was to establish the tower pushing rhythm and advantage as much as possible in the early and middle stages, constantly taking the initiative. However, if the situation was reversed, the role of Policewoman would be greatly reduced.
"Therefore, they can't follow the opponent's rhythm."
Li Shiyi nodded and gave his own opinion.
"The Crown Team still has to be determined to get what they want. If they are led by the nose by the opponent's strategy … this round will really be over."
Beside him, An Xin smiled and said,
"The current situation … is somewhat similar to the previous match between God and Minx."
At this moment, the situation of the purple team, the Crown Team, was facing the same situation as the previous God Team. They were also facing the tactical pressure from the opponent's 41 point range, and had to find an opportunity to take the initiative to break the deadlock.
However, the current situation for the Crown Team was more difficult and torturous than that of the previous God Team.
At least at that time, the God Team still had Morning Star as the team's core. Their mid laner, Verus, could brazenly take the initiative, and Snowy Nightsong's ADC, Policewoman, could perfectly coordinate and keep up with the firepower.
But now …
Blade only had her ADC, Policewoman.
It was not easy for Policewoman to take the initiative. After Shen went to the side lane to defend against Jayz, the only ones in the middle lane who could take the initiative were the Blind Monk and Ox-Head.
The Blind Monk alone could not cut in because the opposing blue team's lineup was also very strong. Once the Blind Monk cut in, he would definitely be controlled by the opponent's mid laner, Void Prophet, with a backhand skill and be focused to death.
Therefore, if they really wanted to take the initiative, it must be the Blind Monk and Ox-Head who could coordinate and cut in from both sides.
However, this was only a test of the individual ability of the two jungler and support members of the Crown Team. As the core ADC, what Blade could do in this situation was very limited — he even had to consider protecting his own life first, which already required a lot of energy and concentration.
Therefore, at this time, the Crown Team's purple team had fallen into an extremely passive and embarrassing situation.
They wanted to take action.
But they could not find the right opportunity, or they did not have enough confidence, so they could only bitterly endure.
At the same time, taking advantage of the Crown Team's hesitation, the blue team's Assassin Team had already carried out their strategy perfectly and smoothly.
Soon, the purple team's outer defense tower in the bottom lane was broken.
On the top lane, the Assassin Team's top laner, Jayz, had already pushed his troops to the front of the purple team's second defense tower. The defense tower's HP was quickly reduced by more than half, and it looked to be in imminent danger.
But even so, the Crown Team in the middle lane still could not find a way or opportunity to break out of the situation.
"It's basically gone."
Lin Feng, who was sitting in the front row of the field, shook his head and made a blunt judgment.
Li Shiyi nodded slowly, his expression somewhat regretful.
"It's not Policewoman's fault."
"What a pity."
