One Enchantress.
One Jace.
In the first two matches of the best-of-five series, Team God's Morning Star chose to use these two solo heroes, both of which were the type that focused on being strong in the early game. But in the third match, he changed his style and used Frost Witch Lisandro.
This was indeed a choice that was more in line with the past style of Team God's mid laner captain.
But at this moment, the countless players at the venue and online were a little surprised.
Because they thought that in the third match, Morning Star would also use a strong solo burst hero in the early game like he did in the first two matches.
In the first match, Crafty Enchantress Lefran displayed her individual ability to the extreme. She was a sneaky AP assassin who stole the opponent's C position in the backline in all kinds of strange ways during the team battle.
In the second match, Future Guardian Jace led the way and cleared the stage at the last critical moment, stealing the opponent's home base in one go.
So, if it was said that before this, people would still be a little worried about Morning Star's strong hero choice —
But after the second match, they were completely convinced by Morning Star's new strong and violent solo carry style and strength. They subconsciously looked forward to seeing an even more exciting individual performance from the captain of Team God in the third match.
But the result …
Once again, it was unexpected.
After two individual performances, Morning Star chose such a team-based mid laner hero in the third match.
Frost Witch Lisandro?
In the previous round, Phoenix had used this hero as well, coordinating perfectly with the other members of the team to make a few spectacular plays. However, this hero wasn't strong enough in terms of individual ability. It was more of a team contribution type. Morning Star had already performed amazingly well in the previous two rounds. Why did he suddenly switch back to his original strategy in the third round?
"He could have taken advantage of the situation and continued to use heroes like Enchantress Jace or Little Fishman, right?"
On the official commentary platform's side, a few Western and American commentators discussed among themselves and gave such an evaluation.
Similarly, in the eyes of most people, they felt that Morning Star's sudden steady choice of mid laner was not ideal. He was unable to fully display his full strength.
Only a few people did not think so.
For example, someone in the front row of the audience suddenly sat up straight.
On SSK Club's side, there was Mafa, who had a serious look on his face, Park Canlie, who had narrowed his eyes, and Han Shihao, who had an indifferent expression on his face, but his eyes were suddenly filled with a deep light.
For example, in the back row of the auditorium —
Number Four was quickly scribbling on her notebook, recording and analyzing something. She stopped writing and adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"It seems like Ah Xing is ready."
Number Three raised an eyebrow.
"I'm warming up for the first two games."
"I've adjusted myself to the peak. I'm going to play seriously this time."
The sharpness in Number Two's eyes gradually became cold and sharp. "Then … let's see. There's not much time left anyway. It's time to give it a try."
Five minutes later.
The BAN selection was over.
The third match of the first set of best-of-five semifinals began.
…
In the third round, the blue team, God Squad, chose Morning Star as their centerman, the Frost Witch. On the other hand, the purple team, Legend, chose Future Guardian, Jayz.
It was a complete swap of the mid laner champions used by both teams in the previous match.
The audience had enough recognition for Europe's Number One Wizard King, Phoenix's individual laning ability. In the previous match, even when Morning Star used Jess, he only managed to suppress Frost Witch's last hit and development rhythm to a certain extent. He did not manage to gain much of an advantage —
Now, the two mid laner captains of these two teams seemed to be on par with each other in terms of individual strength.
Therefore, after the swap of heroes, the rhythm of the mid laner should not be any different from the previous match.
Therefore, the audience's attention was more focused on the side lanes.
In the previous two matches, other than the mid laner captains of both teams who performed amazingly well, the other members of each team also performed well.
Sometimes, when the mid laner was in a stalemate, it might be the side lanes that broke out faster.
The fourth minute of the match.
The junglers of both teams simultaneously began their first wave of wandering gank.
Moreover, both teams chose to wander to the top lane.
Perhaps it was because of the previous two matches, the junglers of both teams had a better understanding of each other's style. This wave of gank was very well coordinated. One side attacked first, the other side crouched down, and both sides were on guard. In the end, the two junglers exchanged a wave of skills to reduce some HP. They used one or two "Flash" each before wisely withdrawing in time.
Cheers and applause rang out from the audience seats below the stage.
Even if there were no kills, such a clash on the top lane was enough to show the awareness and skill level of the players on both sides. They did not give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage of and were evenly matched. Next, they had to patiently look for the next wave of opportunities …
"First-Blood! — — "
Therefore, this sudden kill announcement from the system's female voice coming from the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon caught everyone off guard and even shocked them to the core.
The director of the live broadcast hurriedly turned the camera angle of the live OB to the scene.
They saw it.
It was already in the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon. The purple team's mid laner, Future Guardian, Jayz, collapsed and turned into a cold corpse. As for the blue team's mid laner, Melisandre, who still had nearly half of her HP left, calmly retreated from the corpse.
A solo kill!
For a moment, a huge uproar sounded in the entire competition venue, undulating like a tidal wave.
All the players and netizens watching the live broadcast in front of their computer screens were stunned for a moment. Their brains couldn't react at all —
Ice Maiden killed Jayz alone?
One had to know that purely from the perspective of this version's line-up ability, the Future Guardian was stronger than the Ice Maiden. In the previous round, it was Jayz, who was controlled by Morning Star, who suppressed Phoenix's Ice Maiden, Lissandra. The latter could only resist the pressure and develop at a pace.
But this time …
It was the same two mid laners, but the positions of the controllers had been switched.
Then, it should still be a situation where Jayz strongly suppressed and Ice Maiden passively resisted, but why suddenly —
Everything was completely reversed.
Ice Maiden, who was originally passive and weak, actually killed Jayz in a solo lane?!
This scene even left the Western commentators on the official commentary platform dumbfounded. For a moment, they couldn't find a suitable excuse to analyze and explain. Mo Sheng and Fei Yan on the China commentary platform were also shocked, but they quickly came back to their senses. The two beautiful female commentators ignored everything else and were immediately overjoyed.
“nice！”
"Star King's solo kill is simply too beautiful!"
"This is … He's finally going all out after playing well in the first two rounds, right?!"
Coincidentally, he had hit the nail on the head.
Someone in the front row of the audience rubbed his nose —
He was indeed starting to go all out.
In that case …
This wave of one-blood kills was just the beginning.
