The battle in front of Little Dragon Fjord was still in a stalemate, with no progress to be made.
The spectators held their breaths, afraid that they would miss the battle that would erupt in the next second. But at the same time, they were starting to feel impatient.
If this goes on …
How long do they have to drag it out for?
Even Tang Bingyao couldn't help but ask:
"Can't Hammerstone use Blink first?"
With Ye Ci's playstyle, she wouldn't be able to hold herself back in such a situation. Even if she was the ADC, she would probably be eager to rush forward and find an opportunity to start a team fight. From her perspective, the blue team God's support was Hammerstone, who had the ability to start a team fight. Naturally, he should take the initiative.
Blink Q?
Or even flash an E would do.
As long as it was activated, Obama, Sindera, and Olaf would be able to deal damage to the blue team as soon as possible. A round of skills and Basic Attacks would definitely be able to kill one of them instantly.
However, Nian Shisan, who was standing next to her, shook his head and rejected the suggestion.
"No way."
"It's not that simple."
Tang Bingyao didn't understand. An Xin noticed her confusion, so she explained with a smile.
"Hammerstone using Blink first isn't completely impossible, but in a match of this level, it'll be a huge problem."
"Because the opponent is SSK."
"If it's just an ordinary high-level matchup, or even a slightly lower level professional match, the blue team can rely on Hammerstone to crowd control one player and activate it to kill them first. It'll be much easier for the blue team to outnumber them."
"But against a top-tier team like SSK, doing so would be akin to giving the opponent an opening."
"Let's say that Hammerstone is aiming for Ox-Head or Shen at the frontline. With the other blue team members' focus fire, it's indeed possible to one-shot them. However, if SSK uses up all his critical skills in the first round, he'll definitely choose to counterattack."
Ceng Rui nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
"Even if one of us dies first, we don't have to be afraid when we are outnumbered."
"You've left all the critical damage and crowd control skills to my frontliners. That means that there will be at least five seconds of skill exhaustion. I'll immediately counterattack and rush to your backline, and you won't be able to stop me at all. At that time, it'll be the equivalent of one of my frontliners swapping for one or two of your core CS in the backline. I won't lose this team battle."
Nian Thirteen smacked his lips and added,
"Don't exaggerate —"
"Even if God takes out two or three SSK players in one shot, as long as the core DPS players are still on the battlefield, such as Frost or Ike, there's a high chance that they can turn the tables in a 2v5 or 2v4 situation." "That's right.
An Xin reached out to stroke Tang Bingyao's messy hair and smiled.
"Tang Tang, you should understand if I put it another way."
"It's just like when you're an ADC. In a team battle, you often have to choose to enter the battlefield last. You have to wait until your teammates have absorbed all the skills and damage from the opposing team before coming out. At that time, even if your teammates are all dead, as an ADC, you can still complete the harvest, right?"
"Oh, I see." Tang Bingyao suddenly understood.
"So, to put it bluntly, the critical skills have to be left for the key heroes on the other side." Nian Thirteen's gaze swept back and forth between the purple jungler Nightmare, the mid laner Ike, and the ADC Cold Ice on the OB screen. "If there's a chance to kill one of the three on the opposite side … we can really make the team battle more intense."
"That's basically impossible."
Lin Feng, who hadn't said a word for a long time, suddenly spoke up. His eyes were also fixed on the battlefield of the little river dragon on the OB's screen.
"If Hammerstone Blinks up, the frontliners probably won't be able to kill him."
"Yeah, that's suicide."
Nian Thirteen and An Xin nodded.
Indeed.
One had to know that the opposing purple team, SSK, had two heroes, Ox-Head and Shen.
Both of them were tanky to the point of making one's hair stand on end.
Although SSK's Wolf's top lane, Twilight Eye, was a solo player, and his ability to tank damage in team battles was slightly weaker, he could still absorb a large amount of damage for a short period of time with a Sword Formation of Ten Thousand Skills.
Ox-Head, on the other hand, was a support. Even though he was only a support, he could immediately break out of a crowd-control state with a powerful skill. His durability was even greater than his teammates' Twilight Eye.
As long as the control target wasn't instantly killed, regardless of whether it was Ox-Head or Shen, an offensive-type support like Hammerstone would definitely be killed instantly.
"So, it's up to Nar."
Ceng Rui's gaze swept across the spectators on the screen. At this time, on the blue team's side, God Squad's "Blue Word" top lane Gnar was clearing the minions in the middle lane. He was holding the summoner's skill "Teleport" in his hand, but he did not use it for a long time.
The ideal way to start a team battle was for Nar to find a suitable opportunity to enter the battlefield. If he could teleport to a perfect position, Team God would be able to start the team battle smoothly.
But for now …
Nar hadn't found such an opportunity yet.
"Or …"
Anxin's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze seemed to have inadvertently landed on the blue mid laner, Sindera.
"There's someone else who might be able to do it too."
… …
The stalemate in front of Fjords had been going on for more than half a minute.
At the same time, SSK's Twilight Eye — Shen, under Wolf's control, had moved to the bottom lane, pushing a wave of minions to the blue team's bottom lane defensive tower. Then, he began to dismantle the tower without a care in the world.
This change in tempo also caused a commotion among the spectating players of the various clubs, and they all gasped in admiration.
Well done.
Because SSK didn't care about stalling for time with Team God.
You were the one who wanted to force a team battle.
Since you can't find an opportunity, I'll just keep stalling.
Be careful and go solo at the bottom lane. In any case, I can immediately return to the battlefield with a powerful skill. If your blue side continues to hesitate, not only will my side not suffer any losses, but I will also be able to destroy one of your outer defensive towers.
It was said that every member of SSK's main roster was incredibly strong, but the tactical maneuver they were displaying right now was just as practiced.
"We really can't stall anymore!"
The spectators began to discuss among themselves.
In the corridor outside the training room, the reporters from various esports media were also discussing the match. Su Xue was so anxious that she wanted to stomp her foot.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Hurry up and start a team battle!"
"Nar, go!"
Mo Sheng shook his head solemnly.
"We can't rush it."
"There's nothing Gnar can do right now. He has the Teleport, but he can't find a suitable spot to teleport to. SSK's vision is too good. There's not a single blue line of sight in the jungle behind their formation that Gnar can use to teleport."
"If Nar can't circle to the back, then Team God can't do it from the front."
Su Xue was both anxious and angry.
"Then what do we do?"
"If we keep stalling like this, it'll only get worse!"
