The first three matches of the 'best-of-five' finals were already exciting enough for the League of Legends players all over the world to enjoy.
However, the only thing that made people feel a little regretful was that they did not get to see too many intense confrontations between the mid laners of both teams in the first three matches.
Of course, this did not mean that the mid laners of both teams did not perform well in the first three matches.
Looking at the overall situation, both Morning Star and Han Shihao played a crucial role in every match.
The regretful thing here was that the two top mid laners in the world did not manage to create enough sparks in the 1v1 duel.
However, this was indeed because the mid laners of both teams were too skilled.
It was not like a normal random matchup where the mid laners would just go for it once they got online. They would either go for the kill, or the opponent would go for the kill.
"F and Morning Star, the two mid laners have basically no flaws in their playstyle."
"This is how the top professional players are —"
"They won't give their opponents any opportunities to exploit."
This was the evaluation given by the Western commentators on the official commentary platform at the end of the third match.
In fact, it was just like the fourth match that was going on right now.
At the start of the match, SSK chose to target the mid lane.
K managed to grab them, but Morning Star's Card Master easily dispelled them and even managed to kill them.
Similarly, in this wave of traps carefully planned by Team God, Han Shihao's mid laner Mechanical Pioneer reacted quickly in the face of danger, dodging Prince's EQ Flash with Synchronized Blink, ruining Team God's plan for a double kill.
In the next few minutes, although Team God was at a disadvantage, Victor, under Han Shihao's control, managed to stabilize the tempo bit by bit, making it difficult for Team God on the purple side to snowball their advantage.
Therefore, just now, the live audience, including the commentators on the commentary platform, had even begun to think that this mid-lane matchup would be as smooth as the previous three matches. There would be no surprises, and there would be no surprises.
However, there were always variables in the esports arena.
Unexpected situations could happen at any time.
Match time: 6 minutes and 15 seconds.
When Dredge moved away from GA.
K's top lane failed to catch him.
When the blue mid laner Mechanical Pioneer's Summoner skill [Blink] was about to cool down.
The purple square card master walked down from his own high ground.
Afterward …
The ultimate skill "Fate" was activated.
Flying directly behind the target Mechanical Pioneer!
The moment he landed, he dashed forward and instantly drew a yellow card!
…
Ding! — —
A clear and melodious metallic sound rang out.
But it was like the announcement of the Grim Reaper.
The Mechanical Pioneer's figure was instantly frozen in place, unable to move. At this moment, even if the controller was the world's number one midlaner, the leader of the Four Emperors, he was destined to be powerless.
The card was a flat attack.
Pick up Q.
Another attack would trigger the passive skill's additional damage. A beautiful card shard exploded on the target hero's body like fireworks.
At the same time, it took away a considerable amount of HP.
In the next moment, Prince arrived, and EQ followed up. Facing a fixed target that had yet to break free from its control, there was naturally no suspense. A steel spear directly sent the target's Mechanical Pioneer flying into the air once again.
Then, the system's female voice's announcement echoed in the middle lane of Summoner's Canyon.
“A
ED (An enemy hero has been killed). "
The head was given to the card master.
The figure of the Mechanical Pioneer collapsed.
The audience's applause suddenly erupted like a tidal wave!
"Beautiful!"
On the China commentary platform, the two female commentators, Mo Sheng and Fei Yan, were beaming with joy. Old Mi could not help but grin.
"Look! This is our LPL card! "
"Star Emperor's number one card in the world!"
In less than six minutes after the start of the game, the Card Master's battle record had already reached 2/0/0. For a mid-laner hero who wasn't very strong in the early stages of the game, this was practically a heavenly starting tempo.
At the same time, in the bases of the major professional teams around the world, countless professional players gathered in front of the spectator screens, their expressions solemn.
"The timing is too good."
"The first ultimate skill was used in the middle lane … he calculated that the opponent would be lax."
"It's very difficult to defend against. Victor's wave of minions must be pushed out. Even if he is alert and stays under the tower, with the card's Flash and Prince's support, this combo can still be forcefully played. There's a 100% chance that he will be able to cross the tower."
"Unless the excavator was crouching."
"But didn't the card master use his ultimate skill in the middle lane because he saw the excavator appearing in the middle lane?"
"Against a lineup like God's, SSK should be more careful …"
…
"Yes, they should be more careful."
Europe, Lege.
Team D's club training base.
In the training room, a group of teammates gathered in front of an LCD spectator screen. Phoe, who was also watching the match, narrowed her eyes.
Phoe, who was also watching the match, narrowed her eyes.
"But it's a little too late to start being careful now."
At the same time, North America, Seaso.
In the team training base, Autum, the second of the Four Emperors, the God of Support, gave a similar evaluation:
"SSK is destined to be at a disadvantage from the start of this match.
"Because Team God's card is indeed a good one."
"That's because Team God has played a very clever card."
"Because Team God's card is indeed brilliant."
Autum paused for a moment. His eyes shone with calmness and wisdom as if he could see through everything.
"No one would have thought of using a card as a midlaner in this patch.
"So, naturally, no one would prepare for such a tactical system in advance."
Indeed.
Not only did Team God's card as a midlaner startle the entire world, but it also caught their opponent, SSK, off guard.
A card as a midlaner?
That was an antique tactic from many years ago.
Even the most cautious team would not spend time and energy researching such an antique and outdated lineup.
Yet, in today's finals, Team God had brought out this exact system.
They had brought out their card style lineup that had once shocked the world.
After so many years.
Reality seemed to be proving that this system could still be used to its astonishing effect.
And more importantly …
In the backstage area.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he gazed at the big spectator screen in the distance.
"The power of this system —"
"It hasn't even shown its true potential!"
