On paper, if one were to make a direct comparison between God- Hand of God and Team SSK, apart from Snowy Night Song against Ray and Morning Star against Han Shihao, Team God was clearly inferior to their opponents in the other three positions.
In the fourth match of the best-of-5, Team God's top laner had snatched the Future Protector, Jayz, in advance. In the current version of the game, he was strong enough to make up for the gap between Team God's top laner and Team Wolf's individual ability.
Similarly, Team God's top laner was strong enough to play steadily and cautiously in the early stages of the game, even when he was knocked down by Mafa's excavator.
He only had to pay the price of a [Blink], which prevented his opponent from getting the kill.
However, it was still the same thing —
You could say a million things about the version, but at the end of the day, it still depended on the player's own ability.
In the first eight minutes of the game, Team SSK's top laner, Wolf, was the first to step up.
With Gnar on one hand, he executed a series of godly maneuvers under the tower. With a set of dazzling combo moves, he brazenly forced his opponent's top laner, Jayz.
He completed the counterattack under the tower.
The audience was in an uproar. The European and American commentators on the official commentary platform could not help but stand up from their seats with their eyes wide open.
"Oh-my-god!"
"What did I just see!?"
"A top three godly solo kill!!"
Yes.
The evaluation was not exaggerated at all.
From the most professional and rigorous point of view, this solo kill on the top lane could be regarded as one of the most outstanding solo kills in the World Finals. Even compared to KG Team's top laner, Tian Tian, or Mi Yi
Compared to Team X's top laner, The-Swo
D's performance was by no means inferior.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless.
As calm as a deep lake.
Like a thunderclap.
In the stadium, on the China commentary platform, even Old Mi came back to his senses after being dumbfounded. He let out a heartfelt sigh.
"This … there's nothing to say."
"Wolf is indeed too strong."
On the internet, in the official livestream rooms of the major domestic livestream platforms, the millions of Chinese players were also silent. Even the speed at which the bullet screen refreshed seemed to have paused for a moment following this wave of solo kills.
Even the fans of the LPL players who unconditionally supported their own team could not say anything at this moment.
Because there was really no fault to be found, and it couldn't even be blamed on Jesse.
No one expected Nall to suddenly explode.
Wolf had relied on his own ability to create an opportunity to take the kill.
In the backfield, even Number Three could not help but nod slightly and praise him.
"Just based on this —"
"This Wolf is enough for Ah Tian and Mi.
X The one called The-Swo
D's little guy is neck and neck. "
Number Four, who was beside her, nodded and smiled.
"Yeah, the new generation excels the old."
However, those words seemed to have struck a nerve in Number Three, causing him to raise an eyebrow.
"Tsk, isn't it too early to say that?"
"If it were me, Jesse would've died two minutes earlier."
Number Five was both annoyed and amused when he heard that. He glanced at his companion with a reproachful look. "What are you talking about? Can't you hope for a better team from your own generation?"
…
The few legends from the previous generation in the backfield were still relaxed, chatting and laughing.
However, the atmosphere in the arena had become more and more intense.
It seemed that Wolf's solo kill on the top lane was the turning point. The blue team SSK, who had been suppressed for a full eight minutes, finally found an opportunity to show off.
Ten minutes into the match.
Mafa's jungler moved in GA.
In the bottom lane.
Working with his teammates in the bottom lane, Mafa used a Flash and a W to forcefully push his opponent's ADC, Virtuoso, and killed him in one hit. Ray's ADC, Obama, took the kill.
In the bottom lane's GA.
In less than half a minute, Mafa's Mafa's Mafa's Dredge caught the jungler Prince, who had come to steal from the jungle. Han Shihao's mid lane Victor and the bottom lane duo arrived before their opponents, killing Prince and taking him away.
The kill was given to Vanguard Mechanic Victor, who was the mid lane.
In the arena, on the official commentary platform, several Western commentators shook their heads.
"Too crude."
"To put it bluntly, Team God lost their rhythm in these two waves, revealing openings that SSK took advantage of."
"The bottom lane pressed too deep, giving Mafa the opportunity to take advantage of."
"Prince … was too greedy. He still wanted to steal from the jungle in that situation. This kill was equivalent to gifting to his opponents."
"Of course, it's also because of SSK's excellent coordination and support. Against Team God's global support system, they were still able to provide support one step ahead of their opponents. I can't think of any other words to describe this team other than awe."
On the China commentator's platform, Old Mi sighed with regret.
"These two waves … they've suffered a huge loss."
"It's like the advantage they gained in the early stages has been taken back by their opponents."
Fei Yan nodded, a worried expression on her face.
"Now it's a situation where both sides are evenly matched."
Mo Sheng took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Indeed, we still have to be aware of the opponent's strength. Just now, SSK seized the opportunity and surrounded Prince. Although Imperial Star King has an ultimate card, he couldn't find a suitable spot to use it, so he had no choice but to sell Prince off."
Old Mi's gaze fell on the battle information panel on the spectator screen. His pupils shrank when he saw Vanguard Mechanic Victor's 1/1/0 score.
"The early stages were so difficult … I can't believe Victor still managed to grow."
He got a kill.
In terms of last hits, he was still on par with Star King. In fact, he was ahead by three hits.
At this pace, it was hard not to think of the previous matches. It seemed that in a little while, Victor, under the control of the world's number one mid lane, would once again become a terrifying shadow in Team God's heart.
"But —"
Mo Sheng's tone changed as he pulled himself together.
"Fortunately, the initiative is still on our side."
"The next twenty minutes or even twenty-five minutes ago should be Team God's starting point."
"More importantly, Star King's card development is still the highest in the entire match."
"As long as … they can continue to seize opportunities!"
Twelve minutes into the match.
At the river, the second Fire Dragon spawned. The previous Fire Dragon had been taken down by Team God after a successful 4-pack at the bottom lane. This Fire Dragon was extremely important to Team God.
"Taking down the Fire Dragon will make up for Team God's weakness in the later stages."
"Their chances of winning will increase by ten percent."
Old Mi said solemnly.
