Qiu Yijie's judgement was correct. [No Pop-Up Window]
No matter what kind of hero it was, no matter what kind of counter existed in theory, in the end, it all came down to the player's individual playstyle.
For Lin Feng, taking out the male katana to fight Yao Ji, he naturally knew that it would not be easy to fight in the early stages.
However, he was still confident in this match.
Or rather, he had no intention of losing.
Speaking of which, in the earlier stages of the game, when the male swordsman was at Level 1 and Level 2, it wasn't as if he didn't have a chance to retaliate.
"Temptress' Q and Lin Feng's W have roughly the same cast range."
In the commentator's booth, Su Xue adjusted her mental state and began to analyze the match in a serious and professional manner.
"In other words, Temptress wants to use her Q to whittle away Lin Feng's health, but Lin Feng can also use his W to counterattack."
"It's hard to say who's better in this kind of health exchange."
Indeed.
Summoner's Canyon, the middle lane.
Under Lin Feng's control, Shadow Blade used a flat A to finish off a small melee soldier. At the same time, Temptress stepped forward and used a Q skill "Mark of Malice". At the same time, Lin Feng used a W skill "Cut the Weeds by the Roots".
A whirlwind of flying daggers whistled through the air, covering a seven-hundred-meter area in front of him. At the same time, they struck Temptress twice.
Lin Feng also took out a last hit from a low health blue soldier.
Then, Lin Feng quickly had Lin Feng retreat.
Temptress had been about to follow up with a flat attack, but the target had left its attack range and was forced to stop.
After a round of blood exchange, neither side suffered a loss nor profit.
Inside the Guangzhou SK Gaming Association's booth, Glee's eyes flashed with a cruel light.
Interesting.
But …
This was only the beginning.
… …
Temptress had yet to reach its peak at Level 2, and now was the perfect time for Lin Feng to launch a counterattack.
Taking advantage of a wave of creeps being pushed down the enemy tower, Lin Feng's Shadow Blade quickly used a "Cut Throat" skill to rush in front of a blue team long ranged soldier in the distance.
At the same time, he closed in on Lefran.
A flat attack.
Take the W.
However, before the second basic attack could be unleashed, Glee's mid laner, Temptress, had already quickly used the skill "Phantom Footprints" to move backwards, directly retreating from Lin Feng's blade. At the same time, she backhandedly used a Q skill to hit Tai Long's body.
Lin Feng controlled the man to turn around and retreat.
Just as the swordsman retreated halfway, the Enchantress suddenly flashed back to her original spot with a double W, quickly followed up with a flat attack towards the swordsman's back, and then followed up with another attack.
"Beautiful!"
On the commentator's seat, WindWithoutYoung was full of praise for Glee's strategy.
"The Enchantress's CG work is practically at the textbook level!"
Su Xue, on the other hand, seemed a little unwilling as she nodded in agreement.
"Hmm … It was indeed a beautiful response."
In fact, it was the same principle as Temptress against Lord of Line Shadow Stream · Tribulation. Temptress, who learned Q at Level 1 and W at Level 2, learned Crafty Attack. Whether it was Tribulation or a melee AD type mid laner like Male Swordsman, the most important thing to pay attention to was one thing when the opponent attacked at Level 2.
Don't use W skills to face the opponent head-on.
Otherwise, Temptress would lose her movement escape skill and be left with a normal attack after a set of QW combos.
However, the normal attack damage of an AP mid laner couldn't compare to AD heroes like Tribulation and Male Swordsman. If you faced them head-on, you would definitely be at a disadvantage.
In the scene just now, Glee's handling of the situation was textbook perfect.
First, he used a W skill to pull away from the swordsman, then counterattacked with a Q skill.
When the swordsman retreated, he used a second W skill to chase after him and followed up with two more hits.
This way, Glee's health consumption was almost equal. It completely destroyed the swordsman's plan to go all out at Level 2.
On stage, in the Shanghai Gaming Association's competition room.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows.
As expected … this opponent can't be underestimated.
… …
After reaching Level 3, Lefran's strength in online became apparent.
At Level 3, Temptress learned the E skill "Phantom Chain." At this time, the swordsman couldn't seize the opportunity to directly E and do a set like before. Otherwise, if Temptress pulled away and backhanded him a QE combo, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
And … …
At this time, the swordsman also needed to start being careful of the opponent's jungler hero's gank.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be prevented just by being careful.
Because the swordsman was a melee hero, he could only rely on W to "cut the weeds at the roots." But once he used his W skill, the middle lane's minions could easily be pushed to the opposite side.
Glee directly took advantage of the swordsman's awkward weakness and controlled his own Temptress to steadily control the minions at the edge of his own defense tower's range.
In this way, Lin Feng's Shadow Blade's situation became even more awkward and passive.
If he didn't go up, he wouldn't be able to land a hit, but if he went up, he would face the danger of being ganked by the opponent's jungler.
In reality, when the match had reached the four-minute mark, the blue team's jungler Prince launched a wave of wandering gank towards the middle lane.
Prince Gavin dashed out from the grass on the left side of the river.
At the same time, the mid lane's Temptress used Phantom Steps to teleport forward and unleashed a QE combo towards the nearby target, the swordsman.
Just as the cold and deadly Phantom Chain was about to hit its target — —
Lin Feng reacted quickly and decisively used Flash.
Tyron's silhouette instantly disappeared in a flash of golden light as he fled toward the base of his own defensive tower.
Prince used QE combo, but because he was too far away, he wasn't able to knock Tyrone into the air. All he could do was attack Tyrone twice and use a red buff to burn away some of Tyrone's health.
"That Flash was very decisive."
On the commentator's seat, WindWithoutYoung praised:
"If Tyrone hadn't dodged his E skill, Tyrone would've lost a lot of health."
Su Xue couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Mhm, that's good …"
But in reality, Lin Feng's expression was a little grave.
His swordsman was already afraid of being gank in the early stages of the game. Now that his only escape skill, Flash, had been taken out, his situation in the lane wasn't very good.
… …
However, it wasn't as if there was no good news at all.
While the Guangzhou TV Game Association's Jungler Prince was ganking the middle lane, An Xin's jungler Wine Barrel was moving to the top lane on the purple side Shanghai TV Game Association's side.
He coordinated with Zhang Hao's Ice Maiden and gank the blue team's top lane.
Anxin's Wine Barrel dashed out from the grass at the mouth of the river and used Bullet Impact followed by Flash. Wine Barrel's sturdy body slammed into Tyrone's body at lightning speed.
He was knocked flying for a short moment!
At the same time, Zhang Hao controlled his Ice Maiden to quickly use her E skill and teleport forward, then followed up with a W skill, Ice Ring, to perfectly control Tyrone.
Tyrone immediately used Flash, but she was still slowed by Ice Maiden's Q skill and Wine Barrel's red buff.
In the end, she fell to the ground with no health left.
"First Blood! — — "
The system's female voice announced the kill, and everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Wine Barrel had gotten the first blood!
His advantage in the top lane was about to be established!
Su Xue's eyes lit up. "Beautiful, Steamed Bun! He has the top lane advantage! "
Feng Yunsheng was stunned.
"Steamed Bun?"
"Ahem, I'm talking about the jungler from the Shanghai TV Club's representative team, An Xin. Her Keg was a beautiful one." Su Xue hurriedly explained, "Ahem, I'm talking about that jungler from the Shanghai TV Club's representative team.
Feng Yunsheng couldn't help but praise Su Xue.
"You even remember the name of the Shanghai TV Club's player. You've done your homework well, Xue."
Su Xue laughed dryly.
"Ah … hahaha, it's alright, it's alright …"
