In fact, at around the 25th minute mark of the match, especially when the blue team's Rapid Water team ambushed and killed off two of their opponents, as well as destroying the high ground in the middle lane of the purple team's Legend team, the Legend team had already begun to show signs of losing.
If there were no surprises, the blue team's Rapid Water team would have chosen to return to the city after the previous wave of ambushes. They would have sent their top laner, Nar, to the side to split the lane, and the four of them would have gathered at the Dragon Fjord to exert pressure on their opponents. Coupled with the super soldier in the middle lane, victory was already in sight.
But.
Unexpectedly, even in such a passive and disadvantageous situation, Legend still did not give up.
They even maintained a high level of concentration.
With their high ground in the middle lane destroyed and the situation in a precarious situation, they made such a bold and risky decision.
They took advantage of the time difference.
They quickly rushed to the Dragon Fjord and forcefully opened fire!
This wave of attacks had truly caught the Rapid Water Battle Team off guard. Even if the Rapid Water Battle Team on the blue side had managed to react in time and immediately rushed towards the Dragon Fjord from their own base spring, the few heroes of the Legend Battle Team on the Dragon Fjord side were extremely fast. Before their opponents could arrive, they had already reduced Baron Nash's HP to the brink of death — — — —
The top laner, Lady Blademaster, rushed forward to buy time with her own body.
The other purple team heroes in the Dragon Fjord quickly focused fire on the Dragon Baron.
In the end, Prince decisively killed the Baron with Retribution.
And then Lady Blademaster died.
On the other hand, the other members of the Legend team quickly withdrew from the battlefield without any mishap.
A head.
In exchange for a Dragon and a buff for four players.
A windfall.
"No, it's not just a windfall."
On the China commentator's platform, Old Mi exclaimed in admiration.
"This … is a lifesaver!"
…
The first best-of-five match finally came to an end at the 34th minute of the match.
On the spectator's screen, the blue base crystal exploded amidst the distorted light, and the purple "Victory" emblem slowly rose in the center of the screen.
Legend team won.
It was a result that was expected, but was unexpected due to the pace of the situation in the first 20 minutes of the match.
"A beautiful comeback!"
On the official commentary platform, a few European and American commentators praised the winning team generously in high-pitched and passionate tones.
"The last seven to eight minutes of the match was a perfect lesson for us to turn the tables around!"
"Although it was thrilling."
"But … we still won!"
On the China commentary platform, Old Mi, Mo Sheng, and Fei Yan, the three Chinese commentators, could not help but look regretful and frustrated.
"Yeah, congratulations to Legend for your first victory."
"But … it's really a pity. Our Rapid Water Team was only one step away from winning this match."
"Of course, Quick Water's lineup in this match is starting to show signs of weakness in the middle and late stages. Legend's late-game teamwork and teamwork are indeed more outstanding."
"But the root of the problem lies in that dragon wave — Legend's commanding was too decisive."
After Mo Sheng commented, he suddenly changed the topic.
"But in fact, even though Quick Water lost this match, he still played to the standard that he should have."
"Against an opponent like Legend, being able to force him to this extent in the first 25 minutes has completely exceeded everyone's expectations."
"If he can maintain this form, the remaining matches of the day will still be worth looking forward to."
Indeed.
At this moment, the cheers and applause of the Western players in the audience were already ringing out from the stands.
But amidst this lively atmosphere, there were also many Western players who were rejoicing with some lingering fear on their faces.
Fortunately …
Fortunately, they won.
But before this match, they really did not expect Legend to win in such a thrilling and difficult manner.
The strength that the third seed of the LPL region had displayed in the first round of the best-of-five match had far exceeded their expectations and imagination.
In China, in the official livestream rooms of the major online streaming platforms, the players and netizens of the local server were not too dispirited by Quick Water's defeat in the first battle. After a moment of regret and annoyance, they quickly pulled themselves together. The bullet screen quickly spammed:
"Don't worry, it's just one round!"
"They only lost this round due to luck. Legend's gamble was just a win for them."
"Next, let's play according to the rhythm of the first round. We still have a lot of hope!"
"Quick Water, go for it!!!"
It was in such an atmosphere that the second match of the best-of-five match soon began.
Thirty-five minutes later.
As the audience cheered and cheered, the purple "victory" emblem once again appeared in the center of the giant LCD screen on the stage. At the same time, on the China platform, the two beautiful female commentators, Mo Sheng and Fei Yan, cheered joyfully in unison.
“nice！”
"Congratulations to Team Quick Water! You've won the second match! "
In the second match, Team Rapid Water did not seem to be affected by their loss in the first match. Instead, they continued to maintain their original standard and state. In fact, they even played more aggressively and aggressively in the second match. Moreover, they learned their lesson from the last match and took precautions in all aspects.
In particular, Shi Hang's Future Guardian, Jayz, displayed a style that was even more stunning than the Crafty Enchantress he used in the previous match!
Phoenix's solo midlaner did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
In the middle of the team battle, they contributed tons of explosive damage!
The first match …
They only regrettably lost.
In the second match, they quickly regained the victory that should have belonged to them!
The best-of-five match between Team Quick Water and Legend ended with a 1-1 draw after the second match!
The Chinese players and netizens were even more ecstatic. It had begun. Sure enough, their hopes and expectations for the Rapid Water team were not wrong. Once this rhythm was set, the next step would be to follow up with another attack. They were getting closer and closer to the perfect blueprint of all three teams in the LPL region entering the semifinals!
For a moment, the atmosphere was heated to the extreme!
Then.
It was the third match.
Thirty-seven minutes.
The match ended with Team Quick Water's defeat and Team Legend's victory. They were the first to clinch the match point with a score of 2-1.
The Chinese players online were silent for a moment.
At the same time, in the front row of the competition venue, the expressions of the LPL region's players suddenly froze.
Something …
Something was wrong.
On the stage, in the Team Quick Water arena.
In front of the computer screen, Shi Hang's forehead twitched slightly. His back was already drenched in sweat.
