In the first round of the 'best-of-five' match, Season was indeed taking a huge risk by opening up the mid lane and focusing on the top and bottom lanes.
Under normal circumstances, having their mid laner face off against the world's number one mid laner from SSK without any support was equivalent to suicide.
But …
It was indeed a case of finding riches amidst danger.
The victory of the first match proved that Season's captain, Autumn, was correct in making tactical decisions. With a single glance, she was able to clearly see that SSK's mid laner, the Head of the Four Emperors, was in a serious state of decline. Even in a 1v1 situation, their mid laner was still able to withstand the pressure.
So …
Since she was able to predict this point …
With the victory of the first match as the cornerstone of their confidence, in the second round of the 'best-of-five' match, it was reasonable for Season to continue using the same strategy.
It could even be said that with Autumn's precise calculation ability, Season diverted their focus from the mid lane to focus on SSK's top and bottom lanes. Without having to worry too much about Han Shihao, they still had a high chance of winning against SSK's other four players.
The first round also proved this point. Even if SSK's other four players gave it their all, they still could not escape the fate of defeat.
To put it bluntly — —
Originally, the second round of the 'best-of-five' match should have a similar plot direction as the first round.
As the World God of Assistance, Autumn's calculation and judgment on this point were extremely powerful and accurate.
However …
There were also some things that even a top powerhouse ranked second among the Four Emperors could not easily see through even if he tried his best.
The other four players of SSK had indeed given it their all in the first round of the 'best-of-five' match.
If that was the case, it would indeed be difficult for SSK to recover from their defeat in the second round.
But …
Including Autumn.
Almost all the spectators in the Pullman Stadium and even countless players and netizens from all over the world did not expect this.
In this second round, the other four players of SSK did not just give it their all.
Instead …
He even broke out into an unprecedented state of 200% of his strength.
…
In truth, it was not their fault for not expecting SSK's performance.
Because in the past, as long as the world's strongest team could display the normal strength of the five players under normal circumstances, they would be able to steadily sweep away almost all the opponents in the esports circle without any other extraordinary maneuvers.
They didn't need to explode.
As long as the five of them were in peak condition, they were the strongest in the world. No other team could pose any serious threat to them.
Today's set of 'best-of-five' matches was the only exception in so many years.
As the captain of the mid laner team, Han Shihao's condition was deteriorating.
Coincidentally, this group of top eight was up against Team Season, which had the world's God of Support, the second of the Four Emperors, Autumn.
This was the first time SSK had fallen into such a difficult and dangerous situation after so many years of competition.
Similarly —
Because of this, the players of League of Legends around the world were fortunate enough to see the world's strongest team erupt in an even more terrifying state in a desperate situation.
"Dao Mei is very strong."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do better than her."
Tian Tian, who was sitting in the front row of the LPL area, had a solemn expression on his face as he commented on the performance of Team SSK's top laner, Erilya, who had just taken down Wolf.
After yesterday's set of 'best-of-five' matches between KG and Fate, Tian Tian's title as the world's number one top laner was firmly established and recognized by players all over the world. In fact, he had indeed touched the threshold of the Four Emperors.
But today.
After watching Dao Mei's performance in the second set of 'best-of-five' matches, Tian Tian once again tensed up and revealed a solemn expression.
Indeed.
His own strength had improved and he had achieved a breakthrough.
But judging from Wolf's performance in this game, SSK's main top laner seemed to have the ability to compete with him head-on. Perhaps she was still unfathomable!
Ceng Rui nodded slowly and added.
"Cube's support in this game was also very strong."
Indeed.
His opponent was the world's god of support, ranked second in the Four Emperors. But judging from the overall performance of this game, if one were to take into account the fact that Autumn was still the commander of Season, the two support players were almost on par with each other.
Huangxue Yaga's face was as dark as still water.
"Obama is also … Damn, he's showing off."
He couldn't help but feel a little sour in his tone. He had always regarded SSK's ADC as a formidable opponent. But in the game just now, Ray's Holy Lancer Ranger's control and ability in team battles seemed to have suppressed him.
Shi Hang also let out a sigh.
"Mafa as well, right?"
"To be honest, this isn't the level of a jungler like the Seven Kings —"
The LPL area suddenly quieted down.
They looked at each other and saw the indescribable complex emotions in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect SSK to be able to display such terrifying potential in a desperate situation, even without their core and soul of a mid laner.
Perhaps even …
This was the true strength of the other four members of the world's strongest team.
Then —
Perhaps the trend of this set of 'best-of-five' matches would change again.
…
The third match of best-of-five.
At the 36th minute of the match, a blue "Victory" emblem slowly appeared in the center of the large LCD screen on the stage.
This time, the atmosphere in the entire competition venue was finally unable to contain the commotion and excitement!
SSK won the third match.
After losing the first match, they managed to pull back two consecutive matches and overtook the score to 2: 1.
Taking the lead …
This was the match point where they had forced Season into a corner!
The stadium exploded!
The cheers, applause, screams, and cheers almost shook the ceiling!
The Western commentators on the official commentary platform were so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
"Oh my god! This SSK team … is too scary! "
"Even in such a dire situation, they were able to forcefully turn the tables!"
"So, is this team really unbeatable? Even Season, led by Autumn, can't pose a threat to them!"
"It's like I'm seeing a familiar scene from last year's finals. It's 2: 1 again! SSK is only one match away from repeating last year's results! "
Countless Korean server players were overjoyed as they cheered and celebrated.
Then.
The fourth match began.
After 40 minutes, the fourth match ended.
Team Season won the match and tied the score at 2: 2.
The match —
Dragged to the final match!
