In the first ten minutes or so of the match, small skirmishes between the blue and purple squads continued. The kill count kept rising, but it was basically a stalemate.
At most, it could be said that the purple team, Fate, had a slight advantage.
After all, Moon's mid laner, Crafty Enchantress, had three kills in his hand. His growth was much stronger than someone's Master of Shadows, Retribution.
On the other side of the top lane, Fate's purple top laner, Jayz, was suppressing Assassin's top laner, Lan Bo, in terms of last hits and levels. In a solo match, the turret's HP had been whittled down by Jayz.
Moreover, judging from the lineup, the purple team, Fate's lineup was also strong enough in the mid-game. It wasn't just the mid laner and top laner, Jayz. Jungler Prince was able to deal damage and crowd control in the mid-game, and he could coordinate with his teammates in various ways.
And the bottom lane —
Although Nian Thirteen's jungler, Olaf, had caused a wave of double kills in the early game, Fate's ADC, Obama, was able to keep up with Policewoman in terms of last hits. More importantly, the combo of Obama and Bull Head was much stronger in the mid-game than the blue team's bottom lane, Policewoman and Hammerstone.
So …
For the purple army, what Fate needed to do the most right now was to snowball their advantage.
And the best way to snowball their advantage … was to find an opportunity to force a group fight.
The first dragon was of the fire element.
It was a perfect fit for Fate's needs.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Summoner's Canyon was dyed with a faint smell of gunpowder.
"Of course we have to fight!"
The Fate Club players who were spectating the match all made the same judgment without hesitation. They were all full of confidence, "Our lineup is practically invincible in the middle of the game. Brother Moon's Enchantress can easily sneak up on a player from the enemy's field of vision. It's just too easy —"
"Jayz's Poke is also very useful in this situation."
"Also, Brother Star can also forcefully form a squad with Prince at any time. Then, Ox-Head can follow up with a second combo of WQ — if they form a combo, the squishy opponents won't be able to withstand it at all."
Just like what the players of their own clubs were thinking, on the purple team's side, Fate's main players also began to consciously move their focus towards the bottom half of the jungle.
Ox-Head and Jungler Prince, who were assisting, had already set up their vision in advance.
His intention was clear. He had come for the fire dragon.
But …
After setting up his vision, he didn't see the purple army attack immediately.
"I'm still a little fearful."
In the front row of the crowd, An Xin casually gave her opinion.
Zeng Rui nodded.
"Yup, after all, the blue team's lineup … isn't bad in the mid-game."
Although the bottom lane side's Policewoman and Hammerstone couldn't compare to the opponent's ADC and support duo, especially when Policewoman didn't have [Infinite Electroblade] at this time, it was like scratching an itch.
But in the blue team's lineup, even if Lambo was suppressed in the early stages of the game, he only needed to use his ultimate skill "Constant Temperature Scorch" and a row of rockets to bombard a group of players. As long as the rockets were placed in a reasonable position, it would definitely cause a considerable amount of AOE damage.
Someone's mid lane Master of Shadows also had the ability to enter the backline.
There would be damage.
Other than the support Ox-Head, the purple team's other four heroes weren't that tanky either.
There was no need to mention Nian Thirteen's jungler, Olaf. He had the highest growth in the game, and he had killed 4 players. Even though he had just been killed once, this was still the most violent period for a Berserker. Especially with the LMS's number one jungler, if he found the right opportunity to enter the battlefield, not even two or three players from the purple team would be able to hold him off.
But …
Even though that was what he said.
However, at this point in time, the initiative was still in the hands of the purple team, Fate.
They didn't attack directly because they wanted to find a more reliable way to take down the Fire Dragon. For example, they could take down the middle lane or bottom lane first, which would ensure that there wouldn't be any subsequent accidents.
But even if they didn't find an opportunity to gank the middle lane and bottom lane.
They could just forcefully take down the Fire Dragon.
…
So it was obvious that the purple team had made their decision.
On the minimap, Fate's top lane Jayz had just pushed down a wave of minions on the top lane and immediately chose to return to the city. At this time, he was already running towards the Dragon Fjord in the river.
Temptress also pushed down a wave of minions in the middle lane and turned into the river.
The bottom lane's ADC Obama and support Ox-Head were also gathering towards the Dragon Fjord.
The spectators' expressions froze.
They were going to fight.
But …
What about the blue team's intentions?
"They're going to steal it!"
One of the Assassin Club's second team members saw it and was the first to shout.
"They're coming over too!"
Yes, they were only half a beat slower than their opponents. But other than the top lane Lambo, who was holding [Teleport] in his hand and clearing the troops under the tower, the other heroes of the Blue Team were also quickly gathering in the direction of the Little Dragon Fjord.
The Fire Dragon couldn't be easily taken down.
If they gave it up, the purple team's Temptress, Jayz, and Prince would have a huge buff. The other team's lineup was already stronger than their own in the later stages. If they gave it a Fire Dragon buff, they really wouldn't be able to fight.
And this kind of situation seemed to have occurred many times in the past two days of practice matches.
Basically, as long as they surrounded the Fire Dragon, the two teams would not let it go easily. Even if the team was at a disadvantage, they would still try to fight for it. At the very least, they wouldn't let the opponent take it easily.
From this, it could be seen that the playstyles and attitudes of the clubs in this year's finals had obviously become tougher.
However, it seemed that if this was based on the other matches in the past two days, then the rhythm of the Dragon Fjord could also be predicted —
Neither side was willing to let it go easily.
But neither would rashly make the first move.
It would probably be another stalemate. All kinds of tests were launched around the terrain of the Dragon Fjord, and time would slowly pass …
In the end, it would make people feel a little dull and boring.
However —
It seemed that this time, the situation was a little different and unexpected.
The heroes of the blue and purple teams quickly gathered in front of the Dragon Fjord in the river to confront each other, and the players in the audience were ready to watch a stalemate that would last at least half a minute.
The battle …
But it suddenly broke out in an instant, catching everyone off guard.
The purple team's single player Crafty Trick was a fleeting opportunity for Temptress to block the blind spot of the terrain.
A lightning-fast W skill, "Magic Shadow Steps", passed through the wall.
Followed by an R.
Followed by a second stomp on the blue team's ADC, Policewoman.
Followed by a second QE combo.
Prince Carwyn's EQ combo followed up almost at the same time!
In the blink of an eye.
The HP bar above Policewoman's head suddenly bottomed out and plummeted to zero. The female system voice's cold and merciless voice followed.
Killed.
Instant kill!
