By the time the game had reached the 20th minute mark, the economy of both blue and purple armies was basically equal. There was not the slightest gap between them.
The number of players, the number of defense towers, and the number of small dragons were all equal.
Especially in terms of the development of the mid laners on both sides —
The blue mid laner Ruiwen's 5/2/1 record was also almost equal to the purple mid laner Lamia's 4.
Many of the more skilled ordinary viewers, as well as most of the professional players who were spectating the match, could see this.
This match …
The rhythm of the blue army, where CN 006 was located, was better than in the previous few ranked matches!
If it were the previous few matches, when the battle entered the middle stage, the entire situation and rhythm of the match would have fallen into the purple army's control bit by bit under Crow's command and control.
But this time, the situation was completely different.
This time, in terms of rhythm, the blue army, where CN 006 was located, was also not inferior to the purple army!
Now that the game was about 20 minutes old, the outcome was still completely unpredictable!
"To be honest, we really have a chance this match!"
In the YY live chat channel, Golden Shanshan excitedly said to Shi Hang on the other end of the channel:
"We really have a better chance than the previous two matches!"
Shi Hang's eyes were also shining.
"Yeah."
"The rhythm of this match is really good!"
"That guy Maple … is no longer fighting alone!"
"Now, he's really going head-to-head with Crow on the macro level of the overall battle!"
Min Province, Nanzhou City.
Although it was already late at night in the small city, the lobby of Lecheng Internet Cafe was still bustling with noise and excitement. All kinds of excited exclamations and heated discussions could be heard from the seats of the computers, the private rooms, and the corners.
"F * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck! Ruiwen's last hit overtook Lamia! "
"F * ck … a melee AD mid who was targeted like that in the early stages still has 194 last hits in 20 minutes? That's f * cking unbelievable! "
"006's awesome!"
"The third small dragon is about to be spawned! This is going to be the key! F * ck! "
"She's going! She's going! "
"F * ck! Ruiwen's taking a big detour and forcing a kill! "
All of a sudden, the entire Internet Cafe's lobby burst into an uproar.
Many customers in the internet cafe were watching Luo Ying's livestream on DouYu TV. They were watching the European server's Challenger Group's top-notch ranking match.
Around the twenty-first minute mark of the game, the blue and purple teams engaged in a group battle that revolved around the third small dragon at the river's fjord.
Under someone's control, Wen Ruiwen invaded the opponent's jungle and chose to flank them.
She coordinated with Kennan's teammate's [Flash] to open up the team. Under someone's control, Rui Wen's figure followed [Flash] like lightning and cut into the battlefield.
The big move was activated.
A Soul Shaking Furious Roar with a skill w suddenly stunned the purple team's backline ADC, support, and jungler.
Two sections of light speed QA were completed in the blink of an eye.
The second stage of a big move was unleashed!
Wind Breaking Slash!
A cold and surging dark green sword light swept out. The moment it penetrated the target ADC, Big Mouth's body, Ruiwen's third Q skill slashed down fiercely. The target, Big Mouth of the Abyss, was sent flying.
The HP bar on top of Big Mouth's head dropped rapidly!
It returned to zero!
At the same time, on the frontline of the battlefield, the blue team's ADC, Mouse, had also found his own environment to deal damage. The moment he removed his Stealth, he activated his big move. Densely packed slender venomous arrows pierced through the battlefield with a shrill whistle.
The damage was off the charts!
In the end, the group battle ended in a two versus four exchange for the blue team. On the purple team, other than Crow's Lamia, who escaped in time with [Flash], the other four heroes were all killed.
Mouse got a double kill. Ruiwen also got a double kill.
The third small dragon successfully fell into the blue team's hands.
The entire Le Cheng Internet Cafe erupted in cheers. At the same time, the young manager sitting at the front desk of the Internet Cafe was also looking at the OB screen of the livestream. His expression was calm and indifferent.
Although he swore that he would never come into contact with professional esports again, it did not hinder his judgment in the slightest.
Until now …
The blue team on the battlefield was finally starting to gain the upper hand.
The final outcome of the battle was still unpredictable.
However …
The young manager's gaze flickered for a moment before returning to his indifferent calmness —
Based on his understanding of a certain someone …
As long as he had the upper hand in a match, once the tempo was favorable …
A certain someone had almost never lost.
…
Although the third small dragon was taken away by the blue team, the situation on the battlefield was still a little tense.
Game time: 23 minutes.
On the purple team's side, Crow's Lamia stuck to his opponent's Kainan.
She perfectly dodged Kainan's skill control and chased after him with the slowing effect of her Ice Staff. She forcefully killed her target.
Then, the purple team pushed forward in the middle lane and quickly destroyed the blue team's second tower in the middle lane. Their minions pressed onto the high ground and retreated into the jungle. They cleared out all the wild monsters in the blue team's upper jungle.
Thus, the economic gap between the blue and purple teams was once again evened out.
"The current situation …"
"It's still hard to say!"
In the live stream, Luo Ying anxiously analyzed the situation and made a report.
"Although the blue team should have the upper hand, the purple team is actually very strong in team battles. In team battles … it still depends on which side can seize the opportunity to make the first move."
"Be careful of the purple team's Lamia in particular."
"If the Lamia is allowed to continue to deal damage in the team battle, it will be very dangerous!"
Indeed.
Even without Luo Ying's detailed analysis, the 300,000 viewers in the live stream could easily understand the logic behind it.
Because … the opponent's mid was Crow.
In the previous few ranked matches, even if the Chinese server's God 006 had a slight advantage in the early stages of the match, Crow's Mid Solo Hero would miraculously take control of the tempo and initiative in the middle stages of the match.
As long as Crow's mid did not collapse, the outcome of the match could never be easily determined.
It was just like …
The mysterious and terrifying European player could seize an opportunity to turn the tables at any time!
That was why they had to get rid of the Lamia first.
Lin Feng was also very clear on this point.
However, logic was just logic. On a practical level, it was really too difficult to deal with the strongest person in Europe from the previous generation, whose strength was almost at the level of a high-level Yonko.
Of course —
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Difficult.
But that didn't mean it was impossible.
In the 26th minute of the game, the pace of the match seemed to have calmed down a bit. Lin Feng was controlling Wen Ruiwen in the middle lane, and she was leading a wave of minions towards the opponent's second tower in the middle lane.
Crow's mid was standing in front of the ruins of his own team's outer tower, ready to finish off the minions.
Behind Lamia was the second tower, and the jungle on both sides was shrouded in fog. It was very likely that the opponent's other heroes were also waiting in ambush.
But at the same time …
The 1v1 situation in the middle lane was the perfect opportunity for a solo kill.
To go or not to go?
Lin Feng subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
He didn't need to think about this question. He already had a definite answer.
