Up until this point in the training match between Crown and Assassin, if one were to say that the purple team, Crown, was on the verge of losing, then Blade, as the purple team's ADC, Policewoman, would definitely not be held responsible for this.
His Policewoman's performance could be described as perfect.
In the early stages of the game, even after being ganked by Nian Thirteen's Jungler Mantis twice in a row, she still relied on her individual skills to brazenly regain her own rhythm. While getting a kill, she still managed to shake off the opponent's ADC, Ezreal, within 10 minutes.
Then, she quickly obtained a tower in the bottom lane.
After switching to the top lane, she cooperated with her support teammate, Ox-Head, and decisively crossed the tower to kill Jayz. Then, she took the opponent's outer tower in the top lane.
Then, she switched to the middle lane and pushed forward. In a dangerous situation where Nian Thirteen's Jungler Mantis launched another surprise attack, she once again relied on her individual reflexes and hand speed to complete an extreme confrontation with the top Seven King Jungler in the LMS region in a flash, forcibly taking out the opponent's head.
She let the time of the match chase after her own last hit.
Her individual level, economy, and equipment development were almost the best in the entire game.
She had dealt all the damage that needed to be dealt.
Things that were difficult to deal under normal circumstances, she had relied entirely on her own ability to deal them.
It could be said that Blade's ADC, Policewoman's performance in this match was completely worthy of being the sole core of the team. She did not let down all the economy that her team had given up.
But …
Even with such amazing individual skills, it seemed that it was still difficult to turn the situation around.
Lin Feng bluntly pointed out the direction and outcome of the match as it entered the middle stage of the match.
The purple team was basically out of options.
It was not a problem with Policewoman. It was because the current situation did not allow Policewoman any more room to play. Although Policewoman was equipped, she did not have a point of burst in the team battle. She did not even have the chance to deal damage.
On the blue side, the Assassin battle team had chosen to avoid their opponent's frontal assault. Instead, they had dealt with the Crown battle team's strongest attack by dividing the area and dealing with it.
If you want to fight, I won't fight with you.
I'll split up.
Jayz went top lane.
Mantis went bottom lane.
The mid lane was just dragging on.
It was precisely this sort of response that caused the Purple Crown squadron, who had been holding back their energy, to instantly be unable to exert it. It was as if they had punched into cotton, soft and light, causing them to feel so stifled that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in their chests.
At this time, the spectating players of several clubs also saw through the trick. They whispered to each other:
"The handling of the mid lane … is very smart."
"Too steady."
"They didn't give Alista and Li Qing a chance at all. They just relied on the flanks to exert pressure."
Yes.
One had to admit that as the match entered the middle stage, the blue team, Team Assassin, impressively displayed their solid skill and foundation as the number one seeded team in the LMS region, the most experienced and veteran team in the world of professional esports.
His adjustments and execution of battle tactics were smooth and easy. Moreover, every step he took was calculated, not giving his opponent the slightest chance.
Even on the top lane, as long as Jayz saw the purple team's top laner, Twilight Eye, being defeated and sent back to the city, disappearing from the minimap, the blue team's three players in the mid lane would immediately choose to retreat and widen the distance between them and their opponent — —
It was to defend against Shen's big move or teleport support.
When Shen really couldn't find a chance and had no choice but to walk out of the fountain and rush back to the top lane to defend the tower, the three blue team heroes in the mid lane quickly appeared again.
The rhythm of advancing and retreating was controlled to perfection, and not a single drop of water leaked out.
As a result, the few heroes in the Purple Crown squadron, who had been unable to start a team battle in the mid lane, became even more uncomfortable. They were in a stalemate, while EZ could continuously play poke and watch as his second tower on the top lane was whittled down. The bottom lane side had to worry about whether the opponent's jungler, Mantis, would suddenly cut out from the flank once he disappeared.
As a result, after dragging on for close to a minute, the purple team in the mid lane had no choice but to first choose to retreat and reorganize, splitting manpower to clear the side lane's minions.
The Assassin Squad that followed the blue team immediately withdrew Jayz and Mantis.
While the opponent was retreating, he took the opportunity to push his troops forward.
Instead, they destroyed the purple team's defense tower in one fell swoop.
… …
When the defense tower collapsed with the announcement of the system's female voice, the spectators couldn't help but exclaim in awe, mixed with applause and cheers.
Lin Feng also nodded repeatedly, a look of admiration on his face.
"Sigh, this veteran team, Hitman's ability to control the tempo is pretty good."
"This level of control in the middle of the game … isn't much worse than God's."
Speaking of God, people couldn't help but think back to the training match between God and Crown this morning. Although God didn't have Morning Star, Crown's team also played an amazing offense in that training match, almost forcing Snowy Nightsong's team to the brink.
Compared to the match in the morning and the passive disadvantage that the purple team was facing now …
It was as if they were two completely different things.
Of course, this didn't mean that without Morning Star, God's team was much weaker than Nian Thirteen's Assassin squad.
"It's mainly because of the rhythm in the early game."
Ceng Rui gave his analysis. "The blue team's Mantis was caught twice in the early game. In the end, it still affected Policewoman's rhythm too much."
Indeed.
Although Blade's ADC, Policewoman, seemed to be able to quickly regain her rhythm after being targeted twice, if one were to calm down and think about it carefully, even in such a situation, the ace ADC player of Crown was still able to perform in such a graceful manner — —
What if she hadn't been targeted twice in the early game?
Or perhaps Crown's jungler had predicted Mantis's strategy in advance and came over to help out or support her?
Then Blade's ADC, Policewoman, would have been able to play much faster in the early game.
"Also, isn't it because Crown's other lanes aren't doing well?"
Su Xue couldn't help but chime in to express her opinion. Her tone sounded as if she was defending Blade.
"Nian Thirteen has been camping at the bottom lane for so long in the early game, but Crown's mid jungler hasn't been able to do anything. They're even suppressed in the solo. It's obvious that their teammates aren't reliable!"
"If the other top and mid junglers were a little better, they wouldn't have to put all the pressure on Policewoman."
Everyone came to the same conclusion after discussing and analyzing the situation.
In any case, Blade's performance was good enough.
It wasn't his fault.
But come to think of it …
Su Xue glanced at the spectator screen on the wall and lamented, "Is there really no hope for this match?"
She had been looking forward to seeing an even more intense battle between the two teams.
At least it would give her more interview material.
