The 18th minute of the match.
Summoner's Canyon's top lane, the blue team's outer defense tower collapsed into ruins with a rumble.
The system's female voice rang out, causing a slight commotion among the spectating members of the various club teams.
Because of this wave …
There wasn't a single battle that broke out.
It was purely the Blue Side's Policewoman and LuLu who had switched to the top lane. They took the initiative to give up on the defense tower and retreat. Then, they let the Purple Side's top lane, Ike, directly bring his troops to press forward. He used a normal attack followed by an E skill "Phase Dive", directly demolishing the defense tower.
This kind of situation was really a bit shocking.
Policewoman and LuLu were suppressing Ike's rhythm in the top lane. How did the tables turn so suddenly?
It was equivalent to giving up an outer tower for nothing. Not to mention the purple team's top lane tower, which was supposed to push back the purple team's outer tower, they inexplicably suffered a huge loss.
But at the same time, some players, coaches and team leaders realized the problem.
It was not Team God's mistake, nor was it Wildsnow Nightsong and his support on the top lane taking the initiative to give up the tower.
They had to give up.
Because just now, Team Fly's mid lane Lamia moved a little closer to the bottom lane. At the same time, the purple team's EZ and Fan Ma pushed their minions to the blue team's bottom lane's second tower. It was a little dangerous for Twilight Eye to defend alone under the second tower, so Team God's jungler, Widow, had to rush to the bottom lane to help defend.
Once his own jungler, Widow, went to the bottom lane, and Zach's whereabouts could not be seen on the minimap, so Wildsnow Nightsong had to be vigilant on the top lane.
Of course, if the opposing Zach came to the top lane, it would only look like a 2v2. Moreover, they had Shen to support them and defend under the tower. It seemed that there would not be too much of a problem —
If they really thought that way, then they would be dead meat.
Not to mention that Policewoman's equipment had not taken shape and there was not much damage output, LuLu and Shen's protection did not have much meaning. But even if Policewoman's damage was up, as long as Ike had a jungler to help defend and control the tower, they could easily complete a wave of instant kills and even a follow-up harvest.
In a 3v2, it was destined that the blue team would not be able to beat them.
Then they could only give up.
At the very least, they had lost one of the outer towers. It was better than taking a risk and failing and getting wiped out.
After listening to the analysis and explanation from their teammates or the club's coaches, the other players who did not react at first suddenly came to their senses, but then they also showed a worried look:
"But if that's the case, we'll lose more than just one defensive tower."
…
Yes.
With the destruction of the top lane's outer tower, the blue team God's three towers on Summoner's Canyon were completely destroyed.
His vision and growth space were compressed again.
On the purple side, Team Minx's Ike and his jungler, Zach, took advantage of the situation to invade the blue side's upper half of the jungle after pushing down the tower. They cleared out all the resources in the jungle, including the blue buff monsters.
Even EZ and Fan Mother, who were at the bottom lane, ran into the bottom half of the blue team's jungle after pushing a wave of troops to the enemy's second tower.
He also cleaned up all the wild monsters' resources.
Fly's mid laner Lamia returned to the mid lane. While pushing the line, she also farmed the F6 monsters of her own team and the opponent's team. She was slowly catching up to Verus in terms of development and last hit.
At this moment, almost all the players watching the game could see the problem.
Although there had been no deaths in the past few minutes …
But the blue team was constantly retreating.
All kinds of resources, vision, and growth space were slowly being occupied and plundered by the opponent's purple team.
The team economy of the two sides on the field had begun to gradually open up the gap.
"There's no other way. Now God can only endure."
The head coach of the Quick Water team also looked at the electronic spectator screen on the wall and said in a deep voice, "If they can't help but fight with the opponent now, that's what the opponent would like to see the most. The result will definitely be worse than now."
Yes.
Worse.
If they rashly confronted Team Minx at this time just for the resources in the jungle or some outer towers, there was no doubt that what awaited Team God was a strong wave of defeat or even collapse.
Most of the spectating players could understand this logic after thinking about it for a moment.
But the problem was —
"This is too hard to bear."
A member of the Assassin team couldn't help but grimace, feeling a little toothache.
Yes.
When the opponent is in a strong position, you can't do anything but retreat step by step. You can only watch helplessly as the opponent easily plunder all kinds of resources without shedding a single drop of blood. This feeling was really suffocating.
However, this complaint was met with a rather rude smack on the head by Nian Thirteen who was standing at the side.
"F * ck, what do you know?"
"Too hard?"
"This is' too hard '!"
It was really hard.
It looked as if the blue team, Team God, was gradually withdrawing their line of defense and letting go of all kinds of resources, but in fact, people with real vision and judgment would be able to see that even this kind of response was extremely testing of the blue team's ability.
Don't think that it was easy and simple.
In fact, in this situation where they retreated step by step, they still managed to stabilize the overall rhythm without collapsing, maintained the development of their core C positions, and kept the situation at an acceptable delicate line of balance. Apart from the things that they voluntarily gave up, they did not easily give the opponent even the slightest opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
This kind of teamwork between the top and bottom of the team, and this steady and solid ability to handle the pressure of a disadvantageous situation …
Among the sixteen teams in this year's S6 Finals, there were perhaps no more than three teams that could do this.
Team God, on the other hand, could almost be ranked first.
…
The spectators of the various clubs felt bad for the blue team, Team God.
In reality, however, the blue team members of Team God were still in a stable state of mind, and there was not much change in their morale.
This was because this was what they were best at.
They had also experienced this kind of situation in countless matches in the past.
Therefore, at this moment, the few Team God had no distractions in their minds. They only had one goal in mind, and that was to do their best to delay the match until the middle and late stages. They wanted to delay until their two core C positions were fully equipped, and until the purple team's strong position slowly passed.
On the other hand, the purple team, Team Minx, was starting to feel bad.
Because they rarely fought in a stalemate like this.
Even if they encountered the first seeded teams from Europe and North America in the morning, they had already established a huge advantage in the first 15 minutes or even 10 minutes. Moreover, they were advancing with irresistible force, incessantly stirring up fights and beheading their opponents.
It was not like this. Their top laner, Aike of The Sword, was almost invincible, but they had not gained anything in the few minutes since the last wave was ended.
Fly was the one who felt the most uncomfortable.
This time, his Lamia did not perform at all as he had expected. Even if the purple team had the upper hand in the overall situation, his Cassiopeia was still only 0/2/0.
This was something that he, as Team Minx's core ace, could not tolerate at all.
But —
Finally.
Soon, his mid laner, Lamia, got her first kill in this match.
