Starting from the quarterfinals, the matches in each group would be a best-of-five set of matches.
Including the final match between God and SSK in a few days.
It would also be best-of-five matches.
Five matches.
Five matches that were destined to be tough and intense.
And from these five matches, they needed to win three of them … and only then would they be able to stand in front of the final championship trophy and receive the highest glory that symbolized League of Legends eSports.
This wasn't some random random ranking promotion match. Even if they lost, they could still go back and fight their way back. After a few days of hard work, they would eventually be able to advance as they wished. Once they missed this set of best-of-five matches, they would have to wait for an entire year if they wanted to start all over again.
Therefore, even though there were only five matches, they had to give it their all. Every step had to be carefully calculated.
Analyze the opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
Analyze their own strengths and weaknesses.
Then compare them with each other. Through all kinds of data and information, they would be able to make more preparations before the match officially began.
This had always been the style of God- Hand of God before every match. But this time, it was the finals, and their opponent was the world's strongest team, SSK. Therefore, they had to be more careful and cautious.
On the other hand, if they could analyze and confirm their team's specific success rate in advance, it would also give their team members more confidence, and their performance in the later stages of the competition would be more stable and powerful.
Ceng Rui and Li Shiyi nodded in agreement when they heard Lin Feng's evaluation.
"Yes."
"Actually, we can use this strategy now."
"Even the seniors were almost caught off guard. If that's the case … SSK will definitely have a headache."
In a fight between masters, victory or defeat was decided by the slightest of margins.
Right now, God's Hand of God was almost as strong as SSK's. If they could rely on this strategy to gain a slight advantage in the early game, then just as Lin Feng had said, they might be able to secure victory in a set of 'best-of-five' matches.
Wildsnow Nightsong's eyes were shining.
"If we can win one … that means we've won a third of the match."
Morning Star nodded slowly.
"Two more matches."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. "If you manage to win the first match like this, even SSK's mentality will be affected. Then, if you guys follow the strategy we practiced before, you'll have a good chance of winning the second match as well."
Wildsnow Nightsong and Morning Star looked at each other.
Yes.
Indeed.
In fact, the first victory that they said they had secured was just a new path that they had accidentally stumbled upon during the training match this morning. It could be considered as an inspiration that was spurred on by the high-intensity pressure from the seniors, and it could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Before this, they had been training for a long time, and they had already prepared all kinds of more reliable and confident tactics. No matter what … at least they should be able to secure a victory.
That being the case —
That was two wins.
Ceng Rui's eyes lit up.
"If we can secure the first two victories, then the most crucial third victory … shouldn't be a problem."
This sounded a little exaggerated.
But Tang Bingyao seemed to have thought of something as well. With a look of realization, she said, "Oh, it's Ryze that we practiced before!"
This time, it was everyone's turn to nod in unison.
This was what Tang Tang had said.
Rune Mage Ryze.
It was the real trump card that belonged to Morning Star and even the entire God- Hand of God Team that they had found and confirmed during the previous training and preparation.
Compared to the method of winning the first two victories mentioned just now, this Single Ryze's trump card definitely required a greater assurance and success rate. It was a trump card that could really directly lock in a victory.
"Under normal circumstances, no one can defend against it."
Lin Feng came to a conclusion without hesitation.
"As long as Ah Xing gets it, it's basically set in stone. This hero is basically unbeatable in Ah Xing's hands. Even Senior No. 1 might not have a good way to deal with it."
He had enough qualifications to make such a judgment, because he had personally witnessed Morning Star's solo Ryze. Even if Morning Star had not broken through to the next realm, the Rune Mage Ryze seemed to be a perfect match for the mid laner captain of Team God. Lin Feng himself did not think that he could perform better than Morning Star. In many aspects, he was slightly inferior to Morning Star in terms of understanding and application of the Rune Mage.
Li Shiyi smiled and said,
"That's why you've been hiding this trick until now, right?
You've been waiting for the final match to give SSK the final blow. "
From the start of the finals until now, Team God had been continuously challenged by various strong opponents. They were even assigned to the most dangerous and terrifying death group in the group stage. However, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Morning Star's Rune Mage, Ryze, didn't reveal his trump card easily.
Because this was the most crucial trump card, and it had to be used at the most crucial moment.
They could rely on their regular strength to win against other opponents.
Only when they faced the world's strongest team, SSK, in the finals a few days later, when the group of best-of-five matches really started, and they had to win every single match, would this trump card be able to help them win the final battle.
But …
The discussion at the dining table was only a theoretical possibility.
The script was written, but it was hard to predict whether reality would follow the script.
"The final win is easy."
"But the key is to first ensure that we can win the first two matches."
Ceng Rui cautiously gave his opinion.
Morning Star and Wildsnow Nightsong nodded slowly.
"Yes, that's right."
"So, let's continue in the afternoon!"
…
On the other side of the dining table sat Number One and the others.
In the morning, he had also personally accompanied a few juniors in a few high-intensity confrontations. In the end, it was still somewhat exhausting in terms of mental and physical strength. At this time, the few legends of the previous generation of the national server had also ordered their meals and were eating with relish.
After drinking a mouthful of cream mushroom soup, Number Three smacked his lips and commented:
"This hotel is not bad."
"At least the chef is reliable."
Number One smiled. "Then eat more. We'll continue training in the afternoon. You guys have to work hard."
Number Three rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"Work hard?"
"Don't look down on me. Do you really think I'll be pressured by these kids? I wasn't serious in the morning. If I had been a little more serious, I'd have beaten them until they cried for their parents."
Number Four adjusted his glasses and smiled. "Not necessarily. I saw you and Lin Feng in the top lane this morning. You put in a lot of effort —"
Number Two added insult to injury with an indifferent expression.
"I think you were almost solo-killed."
Number Three glared.
"F * ck, what do you mean solo-killed?"
"Don't bullsh * t. Speaking of this, your middle lane was also messed up by Ah Xing. I'm much better than you."
Number Two raised his eyebrows and became even colder.
"I was targeted by a few of them. If you try to line up, Nakano Suke will go your way. How good can you be?"
Number Three pouted.
"I'm definitely better than you —"
