In a battle between two top teams, victory or defeat was usually decided by a single move.
But this time.
On the other hand, Team God had lost to Morning Star's move, which was a rare sight to behold.
When the blue team's mid laner, Sindera, failed to insta-kill his opponent and was stunned by the opponent's ADC, Ai Xi's ultimate backhand skill, it practically announced the final outcome of this crucial team battle before Dragon Fjord.
The purple team's support, Ox-Head, blinked into the field and took control of the blue team's double C.
In an instant, his eyes were pierced.
Ike immediately teleported.
Succubus was cast.
A lightning-fast attack on Sindera.
Fear was cast on Obama, and a backhand combo smashed into Sindera's face, instantly killing the Dark Leader who had just fallen from mid-air. In the next second, the effect of Fear was also triggered on the Holy Spear Ranger.
Shen's ultimate skill landed on the ground and followed up with a perfect E Taunt to pull Lucian.
Ike teleported into the field and killed Obama with an E Taunt.
The purple team SSK's combo was executed in the blink of an eye. By the time Succubus's lights-out ended and their vision returned to darkness, the blue team's God team's two CCs had already turned into cold corpses that floated on the river's surface.
Olaf, Gnar, and Hammerstone were trapped within the Great Dragon Fjord. Only Lanci's top laner, Gnar, was able to Flash past the wall and activate [Teleport] to escape. Olaf and Hammerstone were left as meat on the chopping board of the purple army.
In the end, Dalong was taken over by SSK.
One wave …
0 for 4.
Then, there would be another dragon.
There were also a few defensive towers that were destroyed when Shen and Ike split up the lane.
In the short span of a minute, the purple team SSK had shaken off the blue team's finances by more than 4000. They had taken almost everything they could get their hands on.
In contrast, the blue team's God Squad had experienced an avalanche of defeats in the past minute.
In the blink of an eye, the rhythm of the battle had completely collapsed.
One minute ago, when they were about to force Big Dragon into a group, their opponents, SSK, remained unfazed and continued to push forward with their top and mid laner lanes. They could already see the signs of this —
But at the very least, at that time, the most he could do was exchange the dragon for two highlands. It was barely acceptable, and there was still room for him to turn the tables.
But in this wave …
When the team battle truly began, Team God's blue team was sent into a hopeless situation.
The highlands on both sides were about to be breached.
They were almost wiped out in the team battle.
He couldn't even get his hands on the dragon.
In this situation, even if a deity were to come, there would be no possibility of turning the situation around.
"Ah Xing has to take the blame this time."
Lin Feng shook his head as he watched from the front of the crowd.
Nian Thirteen frowned and said, "I don't think we can blame him. Ray's reflexes are just too freakish —"
Indeed.
It was not that Nian Thirteen was defending Morning Star.
Sindera really had to force his way into the situation just now, and it was obvious that anyone would think that it was a sure-kill opportunity.
Similarly, no one would have expected that Ray's Frost Archer could survive in such a hopeless situation by relying on his pure reflexes and hand speed. Moreover, at the moment of life and death, he was able to use such a powerful backhand skill to seal the victory.
This was no longer something that could be simply described as "big heart".
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Ai Xi's maneuver, her extreme escape, and her decisive counterattack were all executed in one go. There was probably no other professional ADC player in the esports circle who could do this.
In other words —
If Ai Xi's maneuver had happened in the S League Finals instead of during the training match, the title of the world's number one ADC would undoubtedly have belonged to the SSK team's ADC.
The others.
Be it Barren Snow Nightsong or the rookie genius Blade from the North American Crown Team.
They could only serve as supporting characters.
However, Lin Feng still shook his head at Nian Thirteen's words.
"Of course that's the case.
"But Ah Xing is the only one who can take the blame."
…
On the blue team's side, Morning Star, who was sitting in front of the computer screen in the middle lane, was watching the game on the black-and-white TV. He watched as his opponent steadily took the dragon, while the defense towers on both sides were either in ruins or in imminent danger.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said,
"This round is mine."
He did not mean "this round", but "this round".
Because at this moment, every one of them knew very well that they had lost the team battle just now, which also meant that the end of this training match was coming to an end.
Ten Swords, the jungler next to him, hurriedly said,
"Captain, how can you be blamed for this?"
"I didn't play well just now. If I had followed up with Blink, Ai Xi would have been able to kill her."
Lan Ci, who was in the top lane, also rushed to say,
"Yes."
"I have a problem too. Actually, I should have found a chance to go around them first —"
"It's not your fault, captain."
A few members of God were fighting to take the blame, but Morning Star still shook his head.
"There's no need to help me."
"We used this tactical system for this round, so I didn't play well. That's my main problem."
Indeed.
Unlike their usual matches, they deliberately used this tactical system for today's round, which was to revolve around the middle lane as the core.
His teammates had given all their support to his middle lane in the early stages.
They had spent a lot of energy and resources.
As for him, the middle lane Sindera, who was fattened up by his teammates and the team, he should have taken on the responsibility of carrying in the mid and late stages.
If he couldn't do this, then he would have failed to live up to his teammates' trust and failed to live up to the effects of this tactical system.
Of course —
If he really wanted to find a reason to justify his failure in this training match, he could find a whole bunch of reasons.
For example, the top lane should not have been solo killed in the early stages.
For example, Olaf should have been stronger in the early stages of the game, and should have been able to do more.
It could even be said that this was their first time using this tactical system, and that they were not proficient enough in it.
It could also be said that the middle lane Sindera was not the best choice. If they had not deliberately kept Ryze as their trump card, they might have had a higher chance of winning this round.
And so on and so forth.
But at the end of the day, if they really wanted to find the core and the truth, there was only one reason —
Because …
Their opponent, Team SSK, was too strong.
