Although they lost the match in the end, the members of the Blue Team's Speedwater Team didn't look dispirited.
They were the third seed in the LPL, and it was their first time participating in the World Finals this year. Their strength could only be considered to be below average among the sixteen teams in each of the major divisions. Against an opponent of Fate's level, their chances of winning were not high.
Although Fate was only the third seed this year, their true strength was definitely not below that of a rookie team like Minx. In fact, if they were placed in any other division, they would be qualified to be the first seed.
And in this match …
They really fought to the end of the thirty-six to thirty-seven minute mark.
From the beginning to the middle of the match, both sides were in an extremely intense stalemate. Against an opponent of this level, Rapid Water almost seized the opportunity to win several times, which was already quite an impressive result.
Shi Hang walked down from the stage and came over to Lin Feng and the others. When he talked about the match that had just ended, he felt a little regretful.
"Sigh, the opponent's lineup in the late game is still too strong.
"Vampires are basically invincible once they develop."
"In the early game … they were already very focused on Moon."
Yes.
In fact, Quick Water had already made preparations and arrangements for Fate to get a mid-laner hero like Vladimir in the BAN round of the mock competition. In the early stages of the game, Shi Hang's own mid-laner, Sindra, had been playing extremely strongly online. Moreover, the jungler and even the support Tauren had wandered over to the mid lane a few times.
Indeed, he had successfully restricted the early growth of the opponent's single vampire.
Ten minutes into the match, Shi Hang's mid lane Sindera was about thirty last hits ahead of Vampire, and his battle record was 3/0/1, which was also 1/3/2 of Vampire's record.
But …
In the end, Vampire was still able to grow.
Shi Hang glanced at the final battle statistics displayed on the electronic spectator screen on the wall. The final battle score of the purple team Fate's mid laner Vampire was 10/3/4. He couldn't help but sigh:
"This guy … really can't be countered at all."
"I can't suppress him at all."
Lin Feng raised his head and happened to see Fate's team not far away. Moon, who was also walking down from the stage, noticed what was going on. He smiled politely and waved at Lin Feng. Lin Feng retracted his gaze and shrugged at Shi Hang.
"That's normal."
"At this level of strength … how could he be so easily targeted?"
From a certain perspective, as the mid-laner captain of Fate, Moon's playstyle was somewhat similar to Morning Star's. However, as one of the Four Emperors, Moon's overall strength was even stronger than Morning Star's before his recent breakthrough.
In the early stages of the game, he was steady and had very few openings.
His ability to cut in and harvest in the middle and late stages of team battles was also impeccable.
"You guys shouldn't have let him get Vampiric in the first place." Lin Feng finally commented.
Shi Hang nodded with deep hatred.
"Sigh, I've never fought against Fate before … If I ever meet them again, I'd rather die than give this hero to them."
Beside him, Li Shiyi comforted him, "It's fine. You played well this round."
But when Shi Hang heard this, he shook his head.
"No, no."
"That's not even close."
"You guys didn't see it before, but you should be able to see it from the last wave. Basically, only Shadow Puppet and I were reliable. The other three really made too many mistakes. Normally, you wouldn't be able to see it, but against an opponent of Fate's level, they immediately exposed a bunch of problems —"
Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and An Xin nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
Take the last wave of the team battle for example. Originally, Quick Water had relied on the coordination of Shadow Puppet and Shi Hang to gain the upper hand. Although Moon's Vampire had also seized the perfect opportunity to enter the field, if Quick Water's AD and jungler had paid more attention to their positioning, they wouldn't have been blown to smithereens by Vladimir's skill wave.
"It's fine. We can take it slow," An Xin said with a smile. An Xin smiled and said, "It's just a mock competition. After this match … we can learn a lot from it."
Shi Hang nodded.
"Of course."
"We'll have to get the recording of this match later."
After talking about this topic, Shi Hang suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Feng and the others. "Hey, why do you guys have the time to come to our place? Our match is nothing. Old Tian's KG is playing Minx next door. Didn't you guys go watch?"
Lin Feng was stunned. Then he suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.
"Huh?"
"They're playing together?!"
… …
By the time Lin Feng and the others rushed to the fifth training room next door, the mock match between KG and Minx had just ended when they pushed the door open and entered the room.
The faces of KG's main players were filled with excitement as they shook hands with the Minx players to express their friendliness. On the other hand, the Minx players, including Fly and The-Sword, didn't look too good.
"Did they win?"
Seeing this scene, Ceng Rui couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.
This …
This was really unexpected.
Tian Tian walked down from the stage and saw Lin Feng and the others. He quickly walked up to them with an excited smile, confirming Ceng Rui's guess.
"We won!"
It was rare to see Tian Tian look so excited and happy after a training match. His face was still flushed after a fierce battle.
"It wasn't easy … but we still won!"
It was no wonder that Tian Tian and the other members of the KG team were so happy. Judging from the results and performance of the Minx team in today's training matches, this Korean rising black horse team had defeated the first seeded teams in Europe and North America. Although they lost to God- Hand of God in the end, their strength was still enough to make any veteran top team wary.
Fly in the mid lane and The Sword in the top lane were two top players who were close to the level of the Yonkō (Four Kings).
And on KG's side …
Although the other members of the team were not weak, the only one who was truly qualified to face off against the two aces of Minx was Tian Tian's top laner.
Therefore, Lin Feng and the others had not expected KG to emerge victorious in such a training match.
On the other hand, Tian Tian gave a concise explanation.
"In the early game, I, Gnar, stalled Jess of The Sword.
"Then Old C's jungler helped Phantom Demon's mid lane.
"Fly played Syndra too aggressively and wanted to gain the lane advantage. As a result, they were caught by Old C twice and their rhythm was stalled.
"We were dragged into the late game.
"In the last round of the Dragon team fight, I, Gnar, found an opportunity to teleport around and hit all four of them with a big move.
"That was the end of it."
Lin Feng and the others suddenly understood.
In that case …
That was indeed a completely understandable situation.
