Although they had specially invited Lin Feng and the others to help them with a full round of mock battles, there were still too many unexpected situations and surprises for Team God, Morning Star, and Wildsnow Nightsong in today's mock battle. They had never encountered or even anticipated many unexpected situations during the process of preparing for the mock battle.
For example, they did not expect that their top lane pick, Nall, would be killed by Twilight Eye Shen in the early stages of the game.
Another example was that they did not expect Morning Star's mid lane, Sindera, to be killed by Ike in a 1v1, even though they had targeted Ike twice in the early stages of the game.
Another example was that they did not expect to fail to get the second Earthen Dragon. Their blue team's strongest team battle in the middle stages of the game ended up being taken advantage of by their opponents.
As well as the last wave of the Great Dragon battle just now — —
They did not expect their opponents to be so calm and decisive. While they were pressuring their Dragon, they still steadily pushed their minions to the high ground and even destroyed their defense towers. Even if they managed to get the Dragon, they would still have to face the dire situation of having two of the high ground destroyed.
There was also Ray's ADC, Ashe.
Not only did he find a glimmer of hope in that almost certain death situation, he even managed to turn the tables.
In fact, in this mock battle, the blue team's Team God had already achieved success on a tactical level. This was because they had indeed relied on the rhythm and operation of their tactics to gain an advantage. They had restricted the individual play of several members of the opposing team, SSK, so that the world's strongest team could only use the same tactics to fight against them.
But the result was even more unacceptable —
This was because the current outcome proved that even without the individual players, SSK Team was still undefeatable by relying on pure tactics and teamwork.
Yes.
The strongest point of our SSK is the terrifying individual strength of each of our players.
But even without that.
We are still the world's strongest in any other field.
This discovery was what made people feel the most helpless and hopeless.
Because if they could not even defeat SSK in this way, what other weaknesses did this team, which had won several championship trophies, have? What other weaknesses did they have that could be defeated?
No one could answer this question.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
The second and third seeds, as well as the players from the wild card teams, who were ranked at the bottom of their respective regions, were considered lucky because the gap between their strength and SSK's was so huge that they could only look up to him. Therefore, they could not even muster the slightest bit of competitive spirit.
However, the first seeds of the various regions, such as Season, Assassin, Legend, and MLG, all had a heavy and complicated expression on their faces.
Just like their gloomy mood.
Perhaps what SSK had shown in this match was not enough to make them lose their fighting spirit and confidence. If they brought out their trump cards and tactics, they would still have the ability to compete with SSK.
But the problem was …
This was indeed just an ordinary training match.
They might have hidden their trump cards, but so did SSK.
"Don't tell me SSK is going to monopolize all the glory this year?" Spoon said unwillingly.
Phoenix sighed.
"No one would want to see this happen."
"But it feels like …"
"It's still going to be difficult this year."
On the other side of the crowd, Moon glanced at Autumn. "It might even be more difficult than last year."
Autumn was silent. After a moment, she said calmly,
"But we have to give it a try."
This morning's training match, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, started in a way that no one had expected, and ended in a way that seemed to have been expected.
The players in the training room had come with hope. They had hoped to see the first seed of the LPL bring out something that could truly threaten SSK and give them hope of defeating the world's strongest team. .
And they really did see a glimmer of hope.
But in the end —
When the curtain fell.
Everyone's mood became even more oppressive and heavy.
…
The match finally ended at the 28th minute of the game.
The purple team, SSK, took down Baron Nash. Then, the five of them pushed forward with the dragon buff, steadily dismantling the high ground of the blue team, God. Then, with the help of the super soldiers, they took down the summoning crystal in the middle lane.
All three high ground lanes were destroyed.
The minions were pressed in front of the blue team's base.
At this moment, even though the members of the God squad were still trying their best to fight back, they were no longer able to deal with the densely packed army. In the end, they could only watch as their base's health bar was emptied. Following a burst of distorted light, it exploded and turned into ruins.
The purple emblem of "victory" slowly appeared in the center of every screen.
The entire training room was silent.
It was as if everyone had forgotten to applaud and cheer, or perhaps they were still immersed in the shock brought to them by this match, and it took them a long time to calm down.
When the players of both teams got up and shook hands with each other, Ray looked up at Wildsnow Nightsong.
"Not bad, Lucian."
"Your condition is indeed better than the last time we fought."
It was rare to hear such praise from the ADC of Team SSK. But at this time, Wildsnow Nightsong could not bring himself to be happy at all. He looked at Ray and shook his head.
"I'm still far from your Ashe."
"That dragon buff …"
"Really good."
It was a heartfelt sigh, but there was still a hint of unwillingness in his tone. Wildsnow Nightsong paused, and when he looked at his opponent again, his eyes were sharp.
"But —"
"Next time, it won't be like today."
Ray pursed his lips. "What, you still have a trump card, don't you?"
Wildsnow Nightsong was about to speak, but he suddenly realized something and rolled his eyes. "Don't try to get anything out of me."
On the other side, Han Shihao and Morning Star stood facing each other.
Morning Star's expression was as calm as ever.
He said indifferently, "I think you still have something hidden.
Otherwise, it might have been more difficult for us to win this match. "
Morning Star looked at Han Shihao calmly and said slowly, "No, if that was the case, perhaps you wouldn't have won."
Han Shihao paused slightly.
Then, he cast a deep glance at Morning Star.
"Then, I look forward to the next match."
"It'd be best if it's in the finals."
Morning Star was silent, then nodded.
"I hope so too."
