This wave of solo kills in the middle lane was not only unexpected, but it also dealt a heavy blow to the Legend squad on the purple team's side when this result was revealed.
This was because they had originally expected that they would take out Jayz's single hero in the BAN selection segment. Their goal was to suppress the ice maiden Lisandro as much as possible in the early stages and establish an advantageous rhythm as quickly as possible in the early stages of the matchup.
But this wave of one-kill …
It directly cut off most of Jayz's early development rhythm.
Although Jayz might still be able to rely on his hero's characteristics to seize the initiative in the middle lane, it would be very difficult for him to take advantage of Melisandre.
In other words, relying on this opening one-kill, Team God's Morning Star's solo Melisandre would basically be able to stabilize her position in the early stages of the game.
And this was undoubtedly something that their opponent, Team Legend, did not wish to see.
So —
"Next, Team Legend will probably focus on the middle lane."
On the China commentary platform, Old Mi made his analysis and judgment decisively.
In the first two matches, Legend's initial strategy was to temporarily give up on the mid lane and leave it to their mid laner captain, Phoenix, to solo Morning Star in a 1v1. Then, they would try to open up the battlefield from the side.
But this time …
They could not follow the old pattern.
They had to adjust their thinking at the last minute.
In addition, in the wave of one-kill kills in the middle lane, both mid-laners had used up their summoner's skill, [Flash]. For Team Legend's jungler, there was a certain chance that he could cooperate with Jayz to kill Melisandre.
Indeed, through the spectator's perspective, the live audience saw that Team Legend's Wild Boar Girl on the purple team began to wander around the middle lane more frequently, trying to find an opportunity to help her captain, Jayz, open up the situation through Melisandre.
But at the same time —
Clearly aware of the opponent's intentions, the Frost Witch's playstyle under the control of Morning Star on the blue team suddenly became cautious and steady. Even the minions in the central area near the mouth of the river did not easily go forward to deal damage. She patiently waited for the opponent to push the minions over before developing under the tower. Otherwise, she would not easily give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage of even if she missed out on a few kills.
Instead, after delaying the Wild Boar Girl, she allowed her jungler, Mantis, to take out a wave of Rock Golems in the opposite half of the jungle.
"She's really too steady —"
"It feels like Melisandre has an X-ray vision. Does she know Sejuani's real-time movements from start to finish?"
On the official commentary platform, several European commentators who supported Team Legend could not help but let out a long sigh.
Ice Maiden's cautious and steady awareness of the lane also reminded them of Team God's midlaner captain's watertight operating style in the past. It was as difficult as killing the head of the Four Emperors, F- Han Shihao, if they wanted to find a flaw in the LPL's number one midlaner.
…
In the next few minutes, the mid lane seemed to have been opened up again, and it continued to return to the 1v1 between the two mid laners.
The top and bottom paths were also constantly trying to find opportunities to stabilize the pace of development.
The Jungle Mantis and Wild Boar Girls from both sides continued to farm the jungle while controlling their field of vision, searching for the whereabouts of the opponent's jungler. At the same time, they also communicated with their teammates in order to confirm the target of the next gank.
Seven minutes into the match.
On the side of the purple team, Legend's Sister Wild Boar started farming the three wolves.
Caught off guard, just as the skill landed on Third Wolf, a ferocious and terrifying figure rushed out from the bushes behind him like lightning and pounced at him.
Mantis!
The blue team's God team's jungling mantis, Kazik, had actually grasped the piggy girl's farming route and movements. He invaded the jungle and launched a sneak attack on the target piggy girl.
At this time, Kazik, whose level and equipment had just taken shape, had almost completely overpowered the piggy girl, Sejuani. Moreover, the latter had just finished using a wave of skills and had yet to cool down, so it was even more impossible for him to be a match for the former.
The moment the mantis pounced on her, he unleashed a flurry of normal attacks. The piggy girl's HP bar suddenly dropped by half!
The jungler of the Legend team did not hesitate to dodge and run for his life.
However.
In the next second, the piggy girl flashed through the wall and escaped to the other side of Third Wolf's jungle.
However, she was shocked to see a slender figure emitting a chilling aura appear in front of her.
With a bang.
Unable to react in time, the piggy girl was instantly enveloped by a huge block of ice that emitted an endless aura of eternal frost.
Ice Lady's ultimate skill, "Ice-sealed Tomb."
The first move was a direct crowd-control!
A flat A.
Followed by a Q.
Followed by a A. Followed by a W. Ice Ring at close range to continue the crowd-control. The final flat A. Easily cleared the remaining HP bar on top of the piggy girl's head.
"You -have-been-slained."
Accompanied by the female system voice's announcement of the kill, the piggy girl's first-person view of the game suddenly turned into a gloomy black-and-white television.
Inside the competition venue, the audience gasped in shock!
Double Play in the Nakano —
Coordinated Invasion against the lower half of the jungle.
Ice Lady Lisandro had taken down another kill!
The coordination of this round of coordinated attacks was perfect to the extreme. The purple team Legend team's Wild Boar had no time to react. First, she was crippled by the mantis's series of attacks. After dodging and escaping, she ran directly into Ice Lady Lisandro's arms. There was no chance for her to escape, and she even wasted a summoner's skill, "Flash."
"However, if she had flashed in another direction just now, she might have been able to escape, right?"
In the online live broadcast room, netizens expressed their opinions on the bullet screen.
Soon, more people agreed with them.
Indeed.
Just now, the purple team Legend team's Wild Boar had chosen to dodge and escape to the other side of the three-wolves jungle wall. That was why she was hit by Ice Lady Lisandro. However, if the piggy girl had taken two more steps to the wall above the three-wolves jungle and used "Flash," she would have had a higher chance of escaping successfully.
The main regret was that she did not expect Ice Lady to invade with Mantis.
But.
Come to think of it —
"Ice Lady's attack is so fast."
On the China commentary platform, Fei Yan let out a heartfelt exclamation.
Even the commentators and spectators who were watching from God's perspective didn't expect that Melisandre, the blue team's mid laner, would move so quickly. She even arrived at the battlefield before the purple team's mid laner, Jayz.
However, perhaps to most ordinary players, this was just a thought that flashed through their minds and was quickly forgotten.
However, for many of the top professional players who were present or watching the live stream, they were able to see things much more clearly and deeply through this round of Blue Team's Mid and Jungler Combo.
"Jayz has lost the right to push the lane."
Far away in the United Kingdom, in the training base of the MLG team that was eliminated and sent home, Spoon's expression was solemn as he slowly made this judgment.
