Those who didn't know, like Lin Feng and the others, were well aware of the preparations that Team God had made for today's finals.
Various lineups and tactical systems.
And they had more than one or two trump cards in their hands.
For example, in the first three matches, Team God had already brought out a lot of new things that they hadn't used in the previous matches. It was just that in the second and third matches against SSK, who had recovered to his peak condition, they weren't able to produce enough results.
However.
Come to think of it, at this critical juncture, the trump card that Team God could rely on the most was indeed that one.
Morning Star's mid lane, Ryze.
They could only rely on this Rune Mage to turn the tide and save the world.
That was the consensus of everyone in the backfield area at the moment.
On the big screen, it was clear that Team God was quietly preparing for Ryze's appearance.
Because Rune Mage Ryze was a hero that leaned towards the mid to late game, Club God's coaching team had specially formulated a line-up to match Ryze's appearance.
Since Rune Mage Ryze was a hero that leaned towards the mid to late game, the coaching team of the God Club had developed a lineup system in advance to match Ryze's choice of heroes for the other positions.
The top lane picked Jayce, who could suppress Poke in the early game.
The jungler was also a flexible prince who could defend first and defend first.
The bottom lane picked a support Toad. On the one hand, it could protect their own AD in the top lane, and on the other hand, it could form a support duo with Ryze at any time.
In other words, everything was ready.
They were just waiting for Morning Star to pick a Rune Mage.
There was nothing to be hesitant about, but at this critical juncture, through the big screen in the stands, everyone saw that Morning Star seemed to be arguing with his manager in the competition room.
The countdown on the screen ticked away bit by bit.
As for the purple side, Team God's next hero selection window, it was pitch-black from start to finish.
"What's going on?"
Ceng Rui was a little confused.
"What's there to hesitate about with Ryze?"
Tang Bingyao's eyes widened as she tried to distinguish the mouth shapes of Morning Star and the head coach's mouths on the big screen. She said with uncertainty,
"It seems like they're saying 'no need.'"
No need?
Ceng Rui was so anxious that he almost jumped up. It was rare for someone as calm as him to be so anxious at this moment.
"What do you mean you don't need?"
"At this juncture, who else can be more stable than Ryze?"
"Even if you have a trump card, you can't keep it like this!"
An Xin shook her head gently.
"Perhaps he has his own thoughts to consider."
Lin Feng stared at the arena in the distance. He unconsciously fiddled with the gopher in his hand. Suddenly, he laughed.
"This fellow Ah Xing … It's rare for him to disobey orders, right?"
…
In the professional esports circle, there were many talented professional players.
But among the geniuses, there weren't many who could truly be at ease.
And among the few players who could be at ease, there were even fewer who were suitable enough to take on the role of captain.
Someone like Morning Star was one in a million, even in the entire new generation of professional esports.
Cautious, steady, magnanimous, able to take responsibility, never making any mistakes, obeying and cooperating with the club's instructions, and handling every member of the team appropriately.
Perhaps Han Shihao deserved the title of the world's number one mid laner.
But if there was a ranking of the world's number one captain, very few people were qualified to compete with Morning Star.
"Having a captain like Morning Star can save a lot of effort for a club."
There was once a senior member of a club in the national server who sighed and praised him:
"He's too stable."
"It's not only reflected in his playing style on the field, but also in other aspects."
Just like the line "You can always believe in Bloom" designed by the official League of Legends for Freljord's Heart, many people thought that this line could be changed to "You can always believe in Morning Star."
This wasn't the first time he had performed amazingly on the field.
It was the reputation and capital that he had built up over the years, steadily and surely.
There was a joke by a local player on the internet:
"Perhaps you may have seen the leader of the Four Kings, F God, get beaten up by a passerby in the golden section, but you will never see any accidents happen to Star King."
It was enough to show people's trust in Morning Star.
And because of this, when accidents really happened, everyone would be caught unprepared.
No.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't an "accident."
It was a choice made by Morning Star himself. Just like Lin Feng in the backfield sighed as if he was talking to himself —
This was a "defiance."
…
On the field, a dispute between a player and the head coach was almost the biggest taboo for a team.
Because this meant that all the meticulously planned arrangements would suddenly change, and the last thing on the field was variables. Variables were the last thing that could be tolerated in the arena.
Even the boldest and most arrogant professional players wouldn't easily challenge the authority of the coach or even the club on this kind of matter and make a last-minute act like disobeying orders.
Not to mention … this was the fourth match of the best-of-five set of the world finals.
Disobeying orders at such a critical juncture —
This was something that no one dared to think about even if they were beaten to death.
In the backfield, the coach and team leader of the God club, as well as many of the second team and substitutes, gradually realized that something was wrong. The atmosphere on the team's side became a little noisy. The coach and team leader's expressions changed, and they even wanted to rush onto the stage to understand the specific situation.
Only Number One and a few other Legends from the previous generation seemed to be unperturbed, as if nothing had happened.
The corner of Number Three's mouth lifted slightly.
"This kid … I didn't expect him to have such guts."
It was rare for Number Two to reach a consensus with Number Three. He nodded with a look of admiration.
"Not bad."
"What's the difference between a professional player and a marionette if he follows the rules too strictly?"
Number Four adjusted his glasses.
"This should be the first time Ah Xing did something like this."
Number Five smiled. "Then … this can be considered a kind of breakthrough, right?"
Number One narrowed his eyes.
"Yes."
"So it should be about time."
On the stage, in the God team's arena.
Even if the remaining time was limited, God's head coach still didn't give up and anxiously made one last attempt at persuasion.
"Ah Xing, don't be willful!"
"According to our original arrangement, choose Ryze! Quick! "
Morning Star, who usually didn't need such persuasion, shook his head slightly at this moment.
"Coach, I'm sorry."
"If you really want to say it, let me be willful this time."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The mid-laner captain of God team moved his mouse and tapped on a certain hero's icon.
Selected.
Confirmed.
Accompanied by a tidal wave of exclamations from the audience, the BA on the big screen on the stage.
On the selection screen, the mid-laner hero of God team was selected in purple —
Card Master Drizzt.
