A similar situation had indeed occurred during the mock training last night.
The blue team had fallen into a passive and disadvantageous situation. They had to bear the pressure of the opponent's tower pushing and minions pushing. If they did not do anything, they would have to watch as their defense tower and even the high ground were slowly whittled down by the opponent without shedding any blood.
However, just as Nian Thirteen had said, the situation that the blue team's God team was facing now was more troublesome than during the mock training last night.
This was because both the top and bottom lanes were being pushed down by the opponent.
Moreover, the development of Shen and Ike was so strong that it was almost impossible to defend against them alone.
Even in the middle lane, the three heroes of the purple team, Ai Xi, Ox Head, and Nightmare were defending and delaying the enemy. It was very difficult for them to forcefully open a path — these heroes' counterattack ability was too strong.
Ai Xi had an ultimate move.
Ox Head's backhand control ability could be ranked in the top three or even first among all the support heroes.
Nightmare only needed to use an ultimate move to turn off the lights, and he would be able to cover his teammates' retreat.
On the other hand, the blue team's lineup itself lacked the ability to forcefully open a path. In the previous wave of small dragons, they relied on Morning Star's mid laner, Sindera's Flash QE combo to open a path. However, Sindera's Summoner skill, Flash, was still on cooldown, so it was difficult for them to have such a powerful move again.
"It would be much better if it was Ryze …"
Ceng Rui could not help but whisper.
When he said this, he looked around cautiously and deliberately lowered his voice.
This was because Rune Mage Ryze's trump card had been confirmed to be the trump card of the God team and even Morning Star after their mock training last night. It must not be revealed easily.
However …
Indeed.
If the blue team's mid laner was Ryze, then with Morning Star's ability, he could exert the characteristics of the Rune Mage's ultimate move to the extreme and find an opportunity to directly use Warp Realm Teleportation. The effect would definitely be much stronger than Sindera's Flash.
However, it was also said that it was a trump card, after all. Naturally, it would not be used in such an ordinary training competition.
"Or Vampire and Ice Woman would be good too —"
Nian Thirteen was also sighing.
Ice Maiden's ability to initiate the first move was equally powerful. If it was Vampire, her ability to initiate the team was slightly weaker, but she was at least a late-game Boss Hero. She could also perfectly complement the blue team's God team's lineup curve.
In any case, it seemed to be more reliable than Sindera.
"You are too greedy to say such words." Anxin looked at Nian the Thirteen and Ceng Rui with a smile. "If it weren't for Sindera, the blue team might not have been able to achieve such a result in the early stages, right?"
Indeed.
To put it bluntly, every hero had their own strengths and weaknesses, and their periods of strength were also different.
If you want to choose Vampire and Ice Maiden, you can indeed solve the problem in the middle and late stages. However, when these two heroes are placed in the early stages, they won't be able to cooperate perfectly with Olaf to deal with Ike like Sindera.
It all depended on how they chose.
For this round, the blue team, Team God, had brought out this lineup, which was an absolutely violent early and mid-game tactical system. It was only because they were unable to achieve the desired effect that they had fallen into such a stalemate.
But …
In the face of a stalemate, they had to try their best to break through.
"We still have to find an opportunity in the mid lane."
Said Lin Feng. That was his final conclusion.
…
There was no doubt that the blue team, Team God, knew that time was of the essence and that they had to find a way to start the team battle in the mid lane as soon as possible.
But as time passed, the blue team's only gain was destroying the purple team's first defense tower in the middle lane. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
At the same time, Wolf's top laner, Twilight Eye, and Han Shihao's mid laner, Ike, had successfully pushed their minions to the top and bottom lanes of the blue team's defense towers.
The health bars of the two defense towers had been whittled down to less than half, and Ike's movements at the bottom lane were even faster. The bottom lane's second defense tower was about to be uprooted.
But the mid lane just couldn't be opened.
The blue team, Team God, had no choice but to retreat. They couldn't afford to switch towers in this sort of matchup. If they continued to push down the middle lane, they would lose two towers and even the high ground would be threatened. It would be a huge loss.
The blue team's five players quickly retreated. Gnar hurried back to the top lane, and Obama hurried to the bottom lane with his support teammate, Hammerstone.
In other words, SSK's tempo was once again dragged down.
By the time the blue team's duo reached the bottom lane, the second defense tower had already been destroyed by Ike.
SSK was still able to make a small profit in this stalemate.
"There's not much time left."
Spoon slowly spoke from the front row of the crowd.
Phoenix stared at the upper right corner of the spectator's screen. It was already the twenty-fifth minute of the match.
"Five minutes."
"Five minutes at most."
In the corridor outside the training room, Mo Sheng was quietly discussing with Su Xue.
"There's only one chance left."
"There's only enough time for Team God to find another chance to fight SSK head on."
"Look at the purple team's ADC, Ai Xi. Her three-piece set is almost complete. By the time Ai Xi completes her third piece, Infinity, Team God will have no chance of winning."
Su Xue was anxious.
"Sigh, then let's hurry!"
"Let's find a chance to fight them again!"
…
The third dragon that was about to respawn was of the wind attribute.
It basically didn't have much strategic value, so it wasn't enough to be used as bait by Team God to force their opponent to pick them up.
So now …
There was only one way left to force the team.
The match lasted for 25 minutes and 40 seconds. When the three lanes of minions were finally pushed out, other than Gnar whose summoner skill [Teleport] had come off cooldown, the other four members of the blue team God rushed towards the direction of the Dragon Fjord in the river.
There wasn't much time left.
This was their last chance.
So …
They had to force their way through the Dragon Fjord!
If their opponent didn't pick them up, then the blue team could push forward after taking down the Dragon Fjord. That way, they would still have enough bargaining chips. If their opponent picked them up, then it would be a crucial team battle that would decide the outcome of the battle.
Soon, a few of the blue team's heroes were already in position in front of the Dragon Fjord. Their vision was quickly arranged. Even at this time, only Ox-Head, Incubus, and Ai Xi were rushing over.
Aike and Shen, on the other hand, were unhurriedly continuing their original tower pushing operation.
"What a big heart …"
Quite a few players in the crowd subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
Team God was already forcing their way through the Dragon Fjord, and you still have the mood to carry the lane alone?
"But that's what confidence is."
Someone else came out to explain.
"If they really start fighting, Shen and Aike will be able to teleport or use their ultimate skills at any time. Otherwise, Ai Xi has her E skill and blue accessory Insight. Ox-Head Incubus also has a bunch of eyes on him. They'll be able to stall for time."
"As long as they stall for half a minute —"
"Both the top and bottom lanes will be able to reach the high ground!"
