To the vast number of LPL players and fans of the local server, watching the finals today was an extremely exciting experience.
From Team God's first win in the set of best-of-five matches, to SSK's two consecutive victories that forced Team God into a corner, to the fourth match of the BA round.
In the selection round, their "Imperial Star" Morning Star chose his trump card —
The entire match was like a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs.
But this was not the end.
At first, they thought that Team God would use their trump card and rely on their perfect strategy to gradually suppress SSK and finally win this match. Who would have thought that the match would once again fall into a stalemate after 30 minutes.
Of course, even at this point in time, the vast majority of Chinese fans still held a positive attitude.
Because they believed in Team God, and they knew very well that in a stalemate like this, Hand of God, who had always been known for his steady and solid playstyle, would not easily give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
But …
Unfortunately, things happened outside of his expectations.
In such a stalemate, it was Team God's purple squad that lost their patience and chose to attack first. However, they exposed a fatal opening that was seized by Team SSK.
No, that was not entirely true.
It couldn't be said that it was God's mistake. It was just that they had chosen the wrong target for this attack.
Ueno Suke's three-man pincer had targeted the opponent's Mechanical Pioneer.
Why did you have to pick SSK's mid laner out of everyone else?!
This was the consensus of millions of Chinese fans and players. Yes, that was SSK's ace player, the leader of the Four Emperors, the world's number one midlaner!
A normal professional midlaner might not have been able to escape from a pincer like that.
But it was Han Shihao —
He had completely relied on his godly individual skills to easily resolve this sudden wave of danger!
This seemed to be the first time the LPL fans had their memories reawakened, allowing them to personally witness and deeply understand the terrifying individual skills of the world's number one midlaner from Team SSK.
In this short period of time, on the online forums, there were already despairing fans of the local server who had posted such a title — —
"Is the mountain that is F- Han Shihao already a nightmare that LPL can never overcome?"
Yes.
For the umpteenth time, LPL teams had fallen at the feet of the Korean teams.
Similarly, countless times, the dream of the LPL finals had been cruelly and mercilessly shattered by the world's number one mid laner, the leader of the Four Kings.
At this time, even the most optimistic of God's fans had fallen into despair.
Because right now …
This was almost a dead end.
Therefore, when the North American commentator on the live commentary platform mentioned the card teleportation to the bushes at the mouth of the upper river, even though the Chinese players also subconsciously looked over, they still found it difficult to lift their spirits.
So what if it was Card Teleportation?
That's right. Right now, Team God's purple team still had two surviving ACs: Star Emperor's Card Master and Nightsong's ADC, Ember.
However, all five of SSK's players were still there.
Team God did not even have a jungler, let alone a fight for Retribution. How could they let squishy players like Card Master or Virtuoso go and snatch the dragon?
Going up there would just be suicide.
"The dragon is really gone."
"Next, let's see if Team God has a way to defend themselves."
Even many of the local commentators, streamers, and invited retired professional players had come to such a grim conclusion.
…
It seemed like everyone had given up on the fight for the dragon.
However, at this moment, in Team God's arena on the live platform, the Card Master controlled by Morning Star still teleported to the bushes at the mouth of the upper river.
Yes.
The fight for the dragon was almost impossible.
Even the scales of victory in this match seemed to have completely lost their balance and tilted in favor of the opponent.
It was a hopeless situation.
However, at this moment, Morning Star did not care at all.
With his hands on the mouse and keyboard, he moved and tapped at lightning speed.
The Card Master's figure emerged from the bushes and slowly approached the Dragon Fjord.
His pupils reflected the image of the river in front of the Dragon Fjord.
It was as if this was the only image left in his eyes.
The panicked and extremely regretful voices of his teammates in his team's live chat channel rang in his ears, but they seemed to be selectively blocked by his ears, gradually turning into buzzing noises.
Even the whole world seemed to have fallen silent at this moment.
It was so quiet that only his own breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
Thud — thud — thud —
Thud — thud — thud —
At the venue, on the official commentary platform, several Western commentators noticed the figure of the Card Master approaching the Dragon Fjord. They could not help but feel a little interested, leaning forward a little so that they could see the image on the big screen more clearly.
"Oh, okay. Now we see that contestant Morning Star has teleported and landed."
"He's approaching the Dragon Fjord."
"Is this a final attempt? Without a jungler, it's a little unrealistic to rely on Drizzt's Q skill to snatch the dragon. "
"He can probably only do a little poke. If there's a chance to steal a kill, it'll be a small loss."
"But SSK's formation is very solid. Card Master has to be careful if he wants to get close."
"If he gives away another kill, it'll be a huge loss. Haha."
At the same time, on the China commentary platform, the three LPL commentators, Old Mi, Mo Sheng, and Fei Yan, had their eyes glued to the image in front of the Dragon Fjord.
"Star Emperor is approaching."
"The Card Master's damage is very impressive. If he pulls away and does a few pokes, he can throw a yellow card at the opponent and pose a threat to the opponent."
"Or maybe he can take out a few of the opponent's HP and buy some time?"
"Is there any way to buy time until the other three teammates revive?"
"Tam has an ultimate skill, and Jayz has teleportation. If he can buy time until he revives, there might be a slight chance —"
At this moment, the three LPL commentators stood on the side of their own region, racking their brains to think of a few ways to help Team God out of their current predicament.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the success rate of these methods was too low.
Morning Star, who was wearing a game headset, could not hear the analysis of the commentators outside the arena.
At this moment, he could only hear his own heartbeat.
Thump — — Thump — — Thump — —
All other distracting thoughts were thrown to the back of his mind, and all his attention was focused on the image of the Dragon Fjord in front of him and his own actions.
Thump — — Thump — — Thump — —
The loud heartbeat seemed to carry a strange rhythm as it echoed in his ears.
At this moment, his thoughts became unprecedentedly clear. He calculated the HP of the Dragon, calculated the skill cooldowns of each of the five heroes on the blue team, and calculated their positioning. All the data and information appeared clearly in his mind, as if he had everything under control.
All of a sudden.
Inside the Dragon Fjord, the position of the blue team SSK's jungler seemed to have changed slightly.
It was an almost indiscernible movement.
However, for Morning Star, it was like a stone falling into a tranquil deep pool.
Ripples suddenly appeared.
