There was one thing that was right.
That was, when facing Team Legend, who had the third place in the Yonkō (Four Emperors) and the number one wizard in Europe, no matter how strong or confident the other teams were, they would not dare to underestimate them.
Even MLG, who had beaten Legend in the European LCS this year and won the championship trophy as well as the first seeded team in the finals, their captain, Spoon, had frankly stated in an interview with the esports media that the reason they were able to defeat Legend was not because of their advantage in strength, but because luck played a large part in the victory. In terms of pure strength, MLG was still inferior to Legend by more than one or two points.
During the group stage, Legend had faced the North American overlord, Season. Facing the strong oppression of the world's god of support, Autumn, they still won both battles, shocking the world.
In the quarterfinals, they faced the LPL's new dark horse, Team Rapid Water, and won with a score of 3 to 1.
This was enough to prove their true strength.
And in this year's finals, this European overlord team had completely recovered their peak and perfect form.
So naturally —
Facing such an opponent, Team God still chose to preserve their strength and not easily reveal their trump card. This made people uncontrollably worry for them.
To put it bluntly.
Facing such a terrifying opponent, even if you went all out, you might not be able to guarantee a sure win. So why would you still preserve your strength at this time?
Wasn't that no different from playing with fire?
However, Team God had made the same decision as if they were doing things their own way.
Once again, they brought out the early fast attack lineup that was similar to the first match.
It was as if …
They had absolute confidence in themselves and planned to repeat the victory they had in the previous match.
…
And the second match seemed to be no different from the first.
In the first 20 minutes, Team God once again relied on their perfect individual ability and tacit cooperation to fully display the strong characteristics of their lineup in the early game. At 15 minutes, the head count was 11 to 5, and at 20 minutes, they had a financial lead of a full 6000.
But what followed closely after …
In the middle of the match, Legend, who had steadily withstood the pressure, began to exert their strength once more.
This European powerhouse team had always been known to excel in mid to late game team battles and operations. After learning from the first match, they played even more calmly and calmly. They generously gave up the resources and finances they should have in the early game without any hesitation. At the 23rd minute of the match, Phoenix's mid laner Ice Girl used an E skill to teleport into the field in front of the grass at the bottom lane's river mouth. She then used an Ice Ring with a Flash W to instantly crowd control three of the purple team's heroes!
A perfect explosive god-tier first move!
Following that, the other heroes of the blue team, Legend, followed up with lightning speed. In the first wave of team battle, it was a 0 for 3. Taking advantage of the situation, they advanced from the bottom lane and broke through two of the opponent's defense towers. The minions pressed onto the high ground.
Now that the number of kills had been pulled back, the economic gap immediately caught up to 2000.
More importantly, the ice maiden, Lisandro, who had obtained a double kill, began to display her powerful team combat abilities.
The competition lasted for 30 minutes.
On the field, the blue team and purple team's economic gap were basically equal.
Moreover, at this time, the purple team, God Team, who had relied on their lineup to gain an advantage in the early stages of the match, was also showing signs of weakness due to their lineup. Morning Star's mid laner Jayce still had the highest development in the match, but at this time, the contribution of the poke-like hero, the future guardian, was gradually being caught up to and even surpassed by Melisandre.
"If this goes on, Legend's chances of winning are getting higher and higher."
On the official commentary platform, several Western commentators made their judgments with certainty, while the European commentators could not help but be overjoyed.
In contrast, on the China commentary platform, Old Mi, Mo Sheng, and Fei Yan were still doing their job diligently, but at the same time, they were already showing expressions of deep worry.
The competition lasted for 34 minutes.
The blue team, Legend, gradually took control of the rhythm of the match. They began to take the initiative to set up their vision at the Dragon Fjord and use the dragon to force the team into a corner.
God Team made a last-minute response. Morning Star's mid laner Jayce chose to go solo to the bottom lane to push the tower. The other four players were in a stalemate at the Dragon Fjord side of the river.
Time passed, second by second.
Finally, the blue team forced the dragon.
Even at such a critical juncture, the Future Guardian under Morning Star's control did not seem to have the slightest intention of returning to support his teammates. He single-mindedly continued to push forward at the bottom lane.
Destroy the second tower.
Go up the high ground.
Destroy the defense tower on the high ground.
Even the other four players of God Team had begun to slowly retreat from the Dragon Fjord side. They did not seem to have any intention of taking the risk to stop their opponents. They wanted to give the dragon to their opponents and not give them an opportunity to force the ambush.
"Trading the high ground with the dragon?"
The live audience was in an uproar. Exclamations could be heard one after another.
As expected.
When the Dragon Baron was firmly taken down by Legend Team, Jayce, who was on the high ground of the blue team, had successfully destroyed the opponent's summoning crystal in the bottom lane. The five players of the blue team immediately chose to return to the city. Relying on the buff from the dragon, they only needed four seconds to quickly return to defend.
"If it's just trading the high ground for the dragon, then God Team won't be winning this round."
The Western commentators on the official commentary platform quickly analyzed and evaluated the match.
"It's just a high ground in the bottom lane."
"At this stage, Jayce can only rely on his solo to prevent losses. They are already no match for Legend in a 5v5 team fight."
"But now, all five players of Legend have the dragon buff on them. If they continue to push forward in the middle lane, God Team won't be able to stop them at all. By then, not only will they have a high ground, but they will also be able to return from two or even three lanes —"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"Oh my god! What happened! What is God Team doing!? "
At the beginning, the commentators were still analyzing the situation quickly and methodically. Towards the end, the Western commentators seemed to have seen something unbelievable. Each and every one of them was so shocked that they could not help but scream out loud!
At the same time, on the big LCD screen in the live platform, it could be seen that when the five players of the blue team took down the dragon and were about to return to the city, the four purple team heroes of the purple team of God Team, who had already started to retreat, suddenly turned around and rushed back!
They were rapidly approaching the Dragon Fjord!
Under the control of Snowy Nightsong, the ADC Ezreal fired an ultimate skill, "Precise Bullet Barrage" toward the Dragon Fjord not far away!
A huge crescent of energy whizzed past and penetrated the bodies of several blue team heroes!
In an instant, the return to the city channeling of three blue team heroes was interrupted!
At the same time …
On the high ground of the blue team, Legend Team, Morning Star's mid, Jayce, did not return after taking down the bottom lane. Instead, he led a wave of remaining minions and brazenly pressed on to the two front towers of the opponent!
The crowd was in an uproar!
This is …
Is he going to forcefully steal from the enemy team!!?
