Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi In the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament, the second semi-final match between Team God and Team Season began to turn the tables in the fourteenth minute.
The blue team, Season, who had been at a disadvantage in the early stages of the game, managed to win a beautiful 1 for 3 team battle. They successfully took away the second dragon and immediately regained the rhythm of the game.
As the match progressed, the advantage of Team Blue's lineup became more apparent.
More accurately speaking, it was Autumn's support, Mo Ganna, who displayed an incomparably shocking demeanor in team battles of all sizes.
"She got a Q!"
"She got another Q!"
"Focus fire! Kill Policewoman in one go! "
"Team God can't defend the second tower in the middle lane anymore. They can only retreat!"
"Team Blue can still take advantage of the situation to clear out their jungle!"
On the commentary platform, the beautiful female commentator Mo Sheng spoke quickly. Beside her, Lightless Heart couldn't help but sigh.
"What a pity …"
"Team God's purple team clearly had the upper hand in the early stages."
"They were beaten back by Team Season."
Below the stage, Lin Feng, who was sitting in the front row, shook his head. Lightless Heart's evaluation wasn't accurate enough. To be more precise, the rhythm of the match was completely controlled by Autumn's support, Mo Ganna.
"Her Q skill is really accurate."
Many of the audience members couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
"What the f * ck … it's like she's cheating!"
… …
By the 25th minute of the match, Team Season was clearly ahead of Team God in terms of team finances and player count.
At the 30th minute, Team Season started their dragon.
Ambushing in the blind spot of the map, Autumn's support, Mo Ganna, fired a Q skill, "Dark Imprisonment", locking down Morning Star's mid laner.
The other heroes of Team Blue followed suit and focused their attacks on Morning Star.
They steadily took down the dragon.
They continued to win.
At the 36th minute of the match, the blue "Victory" emblem slowly appeared on the large LCD screen in the arena.
Below the stage, the audience was silent.
Team God, defeated.
0: 2, directly eliminated from the semifinals.
Such a result was enough to make the hearts of the fans of Team God feel heavy and uncomfortable. Team God had clearly played well in the early stages of the second match, but in the middle of the match, they lost their advantage and rhythm due to the small dragon battle. In the end, they were able to turn the tables on their opponents.
"Best of 3" was the best of three format.
Team God, who was playing on their home turf, could not even win a single match in the semifinals and was about to leave the arena in dejection.
This was a heavy blow to the morale of the entire server.
Nian Thirteen, who was sitting a dozen meters away from Lin Feng, sent Lin Feng a message.
"It can't be helped. Team God did their best. Autumn's support, Mo Ganna, was just too perfect."
Immediately after, Shi Hang also sent a message.
"Season's strategy is to treat the bottom lane as the core. From the support to the ADC, everyone dares to fight and take the initiative to lead the tempo. Our national server is still lacking in this aspect."
…
Lin Feng was speechless when he read those messages.
Because he was right.
For the current professional esports scene, the various LPL teams basically spent a lot of time and effort on the mid laner position. Starting from Season S5, as the top laners were strengthened, the major teams and clubs began to shift their focus towards the mid laner position.
Of course, the jungler was also an important role that could not be ignored.
Only the bottom lane …
The bottom lane was the biggest weakness of all professional teams in the country.
Even a team like Team God, with a top-notch professional ADC player like Wildsnow Nightsong, was often restricted in all sorts of large and small scale competitions. This caused the ADC and support players to play extremely cautiously, to the point where their hands and feet were tied.
But in reality, the more apprehensive you were, the more openings you would reveal, giving your opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
Take the match just now, for example.
Indeed, Huangxue Nightsong's Policewoman did not play much of a role in the middle of the match. Her advantage in the early stages of the match was almost negligible. Instead, she was completely suppressed by Season's mid laner and support Mo Ganna.
Especially Mo Ganna.
Autumn's support Mo Ganna.
Even though Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao, and An Xin were sitting in the front row of the audience, they could hear the whispers and discussions of the players behind them.
"Autumn's Mo Ganna is really strong."
"Her title of Support God really isn't for nothing. She was able to single-handedly save the match in the middle stages."
"What else do you think she did to get second place in the Yonko?"
"Sigh, why don't we have a support god like her on the server?"
Basically, they were all depressed and grumbling like this.
Lin Feng fell silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, he met An Xin's gaze. She had a faint smile on her face.
"Did you think of him?"
Lin Feng nodded.
"Mhm."
The national server, or rather, the national server in the past, also had a support god like Autumn.
… …
Nanzhou City, Lecheng Internet Cafe.
The young man, who was the network manager, continued to work. He carried a dozen bottles of beer and walked toward a six-person private room. There were five university students in the private room. They seemed to be here to play games, but at this moment, they were in full swing chatting about the MSI semifinals that had just ended.
Although they were a little sad that Team God had been eliminated, they were full of praise for Season's support captain, Autumn.
"As expected of the second place in the Yonko!"
"That support is just too awesome! From the line-up to the team battle, it's practically impeccable, right? "
"Our bottom lane really can't compare to theirs."
"There's nothing we can do about it. There's only one Autumn Emperor in all of North America, maybe even the entire world. Our team isn't that lucky to have a god like him."
The university students were chatting when they saw the manager walk in with a dozen bottles of beer. They all laughed and greeted him.
"Hey, Brother Mu, you're here?"
"Wow, he's pretty quick today. The beer I ordered arrived almost immediately. I thought we'd have to wait another half an hour."
"Brother Mu, did you watch the MSI just now?"
"Team God was defeated. Season's captain, Autumn, is really awesome!"
One of the university students seemed to suddenly remember something. He slapped his thigh and said,
"Hey, didn't I hear that you're also a support player?"
"You're in the same line as Autumn!"
Another boy next to him laughed and chimed in, "That's right. Besides, Brother Mu's name is the same as the Autumn Emperor's, with the word 'autumn' in it. Maybe Brother Mu is also a top-notch support god."
Naturally, the university students laughed even more happily when they heard this. They were purely treating it as a joke.
Otherwise, how could a small internet cafe manager be compared to Autumn, the second place in the Yonko?
Upon hearing the college students' jokes that they thought were humorous, the young man also smiled.
He didn't say anything to defend himself.
He was too lazy to explain.
However, his name did have the word 'autumn' in it.
It was the same as Autumn.
He was on an equal footing with the second place in the Yonko.
