Although Liu Huo's words were not pleasant to the ears, they hit the nail on the head.
Choosing a jungler hero like Scarecrow, if the ultimate "Crow Storm" could land and hit enough enemy targets, it would be great. It could even turn the tide.
However, the problem was that the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology's team had already learned their lesson in this match. They had made ample preparations in terms of eye position and field of view, so the scarecrow's figure was exposed almost all the time.
An invisible opponent was the most threatening one.
But once Scarecrow could not find a suitable hiding spot to jump to, it would be very difficult for him to release an ideal ultimate.
"What about the small dragon?"
Some of the audience members below the stage guessed.
Indeed, it was more convenient for a hero like Scarecrow to jump in a narrow terrain like the river fjord.
That was what the blue team, the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, did.
Around nine minutes into the match, a few heroes from the blue team quickly gathered in front of the small dragon fjord to attack the first small dragon, trying to lure the purple team over.
But …
They did not succeed.
Because the purple team, Fuzhou University of Science and Technology, decisively chose to give up fighting for the first small dragon.
…
"A very wise choice!"
Liu Huo was not stingy with his words of praise for the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team.
"At this time, although the purple team has a top lane Lan Bo and a mid lane Small Fishman, Big Mouth has not fully developed yet. Especially if they have to be wary of Scarecrow, giving up on the first small dragon is the right choice.
"Giving up on a small dragon in exchange for more time to develop.
"If they drag it out a little more, the purple team can slowly find a chance to counterattack!"
Mo Sheng's eyelids drooped slightly, but he did not say anything to refute.
Even if he was slightly inclined to support the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team, Mo Sheng had to admit that Liu Huo was right. And the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team's choice was indeed very smart and decisive.
They would rather give up on the first small dragon for stability.
This was the strategic view of the big picture.
To buy more time for their A team's Big Mouth to develop, drag it out to the middle and late stages, and slowly find a way to counterattack.
How to put it …
A team that could fight its way into the top 16 of the National University League in East China was indeed not to be underestimated.
The Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team was demonstrating their strength.
But then again —
Mo Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and his spirits lifted slightly.
At the very least, the situation was still tilting towards the blue side, the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team.
Moreover, in terms of overall planning, the support player Ceng Rui, who might have already reached an A- rating, wasn't any worse than any of his opponents.
…
"Tame the little dragon."
"Then, push a wave in the middle."
In the team's live chat channel, Ceng Rui's calm and indifferent voice rang out. He methodically made the most rational and objective arrangement.
"The other side is avoiding battle."
"We'll continue to force the fight."
"They can let go of a small dragon. Let's see how much they can give up."
"Do you still want the resources in the wilderness? Do you still want the outer tower?"
"If you don't want it, we'll take it all!"
Beside them, An Xin smiled as well.
"That's right. Once they've been robbed to the point where they can't bear to part with it … they'll still have to face us head-on."
"Let's see … how strong their endurance is."
The two strategists and commanders of the team tacitly reached an agreement. The five players from the blue side, the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team, began to execute their tactical plan without hesitation.
9 minutes and 40 seconds. The blue side took down the first small dragon.
10 minutes and 20 seconds. The four heroes from the blue side pushed forward in the middle lane and took down the outer tower of the purple side's middle lane.
An Xin's jungling scarecrow also took down two waves of monsters in the opponent's half of the jungle.
The situation was tilting towards the blue side bit by bit. Under the orderly command of An Xin and Ceng Rui, the blue side's snowball advantage was getting bigger and bigger.
However, as the side being suppressed, the performance of the purple side, Fuzhou University of Science and Technology, during this period of time, was also admirable.
The purple side was still playing very steadily.
Even if they were constantly being suppressed by their opponents, they could still grit their teeth and stay calm.
They were protecting the development of the big mouth and the mid lane murloc at all costs.
In the front row of the audience below the stage, the players from several university teams could not help but nod and praise the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team.
They could still stay calm and try their best to keep the situation from collapsing. This meant that the purple side still had a fighting chance.
If the murloc and big mouth were allowed to develop for a while longer …
Although the blue side had the upper hand now, it was really hard to say who would win when the real battle began.
On the Zhejiang University team's side, the support member raised his eyebrows and gave his opinion:
"Hold on for a while longer. The blue side is not that easy to suppress."
"One tower has been taken out and the resources in the outer jungle have been swept. It won't be easy to go deeper."
The jungling member of the Zhejiang University team nodded and smiled slightly.
"And now it looks like the blue side is slowly snowballing …"
"In fact, it's because they really can't find a suitable opportunity to make a move, right?"
"That scarecrow, I don't think it's able to jump out a beautiful ultimate skill even now —"
Sun Ruinian frowned slightly as he listened to his teammates' discussion. He did not participate in the conversation.
This captain of the Zhejiang University team's A team looked at the B screen from afar. In his heart, he vaguely felt that the blue side's Shanghai TV Games Association team's plan was not that simple.
He felt that …
This seemingly peaceful situation would not last for long.
…
Indeed, the current situation was actually in a stalemate.
The purple side was dragging it out.
The blue side also did not seem to care about their opponent's intentions. They were just slowly rolling the snowball and expanding their advantage bit by bit.
It looked like the blue side's advantage was getting bigger and bigger.
But observant people could also notice that the development of the two heroes in the purple side's mid lane and the A side was not affected. Their levels and last hits did not fall, and their equipment was also steadily taking shape.
This was the undercurrent that was surging under the surface.
As for who would be the final winner, they would have to wait until both sides revealed their cards on the table to see who would be the final winner.
"The blue side is too stupid to drag it out."
Liu Huo's lips curled into a faint mocking smile as he commented,
"Rolling the snowball slowly. Do they think they're boiling the frog in warm water?"
"Tsk, it's not certain who will be the one cooking."
"If they continue to let Big Mouth develop, the purple side will really have the ability to fight back."
Mo Sheng also saw the problem in this. His pretty brows also furrowed slightly.
"Indeed, they shouldn't drag it out like this."
"Even if it's rolling the snowball bit by bit, it's still a little too slow."
"At this time, they should really be more decisive and find a chance to forcefully open a wave, right?"
The smile on Liu Huo's lips rose even higher. His mockery was also even more obvious.
"Forcefully open a wave?"
"I think the blue side is slowly putting themselves in a passive position."
"Scarecrow can't find a chance to forcefully open a wave."
"The others also have no intention of doing so."
"Or could it be … that the high school students in this team are still a little too young? They're only concerned with a little benefit in front of them and have completely lost sight of the overall situation and awareness of the rhythm?"
