It wasn't just the two Yonkō (Four Emperors) who saw the problem in the bottom lane.
Many of the players from the various club teams were also slowly able to see the truth behind the situation at the bottom lane.
Indeed.
Now it seemed that the bottom lane was in the blue team's favor. Team God's Obama and Hammerstone were playing more aggressively, and Obama's Wildsnow Nightsong's ADC was indeed able to suppress the opponent in the early stages.
But …
It just looked like a fierce suppression.
In fact, for the two SSK players on the bottom lane who were resisting the suppression, they didn't suffer much damage.
Looking at Ray's ADC Ai Xi's last hits on the purple team, it was still stable and not behind Obama. Even in the face of the strong pressure from the strongest ADC in the LPL, his own last hit rhythm didn't show any signs of disruption.
And more importantly, it depended on the support of both sides —
Hammerstone's replenishment had been finished.
On the other hand, Ox Head's health bar was almost unaffected.
What was reflected here was Cube's calm playing style as a support member of SSK. In a sense, the support style of SSK's main support was somewhat similar to that of North America's God of Support, Autumn.
In the few minutes of the match, Ox Head under Cube's control didn't seem to do much.
He only helped his ADC teammate Ai Xi deal a few last hits, and basically didn't let go of any other skills.
It looked like he was just a bystander.
But in fact, if others were to pay attention, they would realize that there were a few times when Obama moved forward to attack, but he was forced to retreat by the Ox-head's movement and was forced to miss it.
Otherwise, with Obama's fierce rhythm in the early stages of the match, no matter how solid Ray's ADC Ai Xi's basic skills were, her last hits should have been pulled away by Obama.
But in this aspect, Cube's support, Ox Head, made up for it.
"SSK's bottom lane combination … is also very strong."
Moon sighed.
Perhaps for most teams and players in the esports circle, the deepest impression they had of SSK was the team's mid jungler, or their top laner, Wolf, who was often able to perform at the level of a carry.
But the bottom lane was always overlooked and forgotten.
But in fact …
The strength of this bottom lane duo was never to be underestimated.
Ray alone was enough to face off against the top ADC players in any division in the world. If he added Cube, who complemented the former perfectly, the effect of such a duo was almost explosive.
However, SSK's overall strength was simply too strong. He could easily play the role of a core carry in every position. As a result, it was very rare for SSK to wait until his bottom lane was fully developed and his team's top and middle lane carried had already finished the match.
"The combination of these two, if possible, is the last thing I want to meet."
Even Autumn spoke her mind at this moment.
Even though he was the World God of Assistance.
Even if he was ranked second in the Yonko.
However, out of all the strong teams he had faced in the past, the two players in SSK's bottom lane were the most troublesome to deal with.
"SSK is stronger …"
At this moment, quite a few players from other Club teams couldn't help but sigh.
It was true.
Looking at the lineup of the blue and purple teams … it was obvious that SSK on the purple team had chosen heroes that were weak in the early game and even had to passively resist pressure. On the other hand, on the blue team, every lane, including the jungler, was extremely strong in the early game.
If it were any other two regular teams, the stronger team in the early stages of the match would definitely have a clear advantage in terms of tempo, not to mention the strength of Team God. If their opponent wasn't SSK but any other team, they would have already lost a lot of blood by now.
However, even with this extremely weak and passive early game lineup against a top team like Team God, SSK on the purple team was still able to play with ease and even calmness.
I've chosen a weak hero, but with my own ability, you can forget about gaining any advantage in the early game.
If this goes on … if a strong early game lineup can't produce any results in the early game, then after six minutes, when SSK starts to show its strength, the situation on the field will immediately be reversed.
But this really made people not feel angry at all.
Because this was the scary thing about SSK.
Every position and every player's individual skill was too perfect. You couldn't find the slightest opportunity to take advantage of them. In fact, God's team's performance in the early stages of the game was already quite good, but the difference in the individual skill of the opponents was there. There was really no way to force more.
"Olaf needs to do something!"
Some of the more impatient players in the audience couldn't help but shout, and many others agreed with them.
That's right, even if you can't do much in the lane, you should at least help out the jungler. Olaf, in particular, was chosen to look for opportunities to fight in the early game. Although the level 2 single buff at the start of the game was able to hit Han Shihao's Ike with a summoner skill [Flash], Olaf went silent after that —
This can't be dragged on!
I have to continue looking for opportunities!
…
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours.
The blue team's Team God should have been in a hurry to find an opportunity to gain an advantage in the early stages of the match.
But —
The female system voice's announcement sounded like a nightmare, pulling the blue team into a situation where they were on the brink of despair.
"First-Blood!"
Game time: 5 minutes and 45 seconds.
Summoner's Canyon.
Let's go.
Twilight Eye soloed Gnar.
On the purple team's side, Wolf's top player, Dan Shen, took down a First Blood in a situation where almost everyone thought they should be at a disadvantage!
The entire training room was in an uproar!
Separated by a wall, in the corridor outside the training room, the various Esports media hosts and reporters gathered in front of the electronic spectator screens also burst into an uproar!
Squeezed to the front, Su Xue, who had been worried about Team God's early game rhythm, paled at the sight of this.
"It's over!"
