After losing the first round, the Luo Divine Hall coach quickly came to the soundproof room.
From a bird's eye view of the match, Tianheng had improved a lot over this period of time. From the beginning, the mid laner led the tempo, to the mid laner working together to open up the situation, Chi Shuo's jungler reappearing, and today, the entire team had a tacit understanding. During the team battle, the five people worked together to seamlessly link their skills. Especially the archer Cheng Xing, his performance was commendable.
Tianheng's growth was alarming. Once the Luo Divine Hall lost the second round, they would not be able to advance from Group A with their current points. Therefore, they had to think of a way to win the second round!
The coach frowned as he quickly calmed down and said, "This Lieyang player's hero pool is very deep. Directly banning the mid laner hero will not be enough. Let's target the bottom lane in the second round and break through from there! "
Regardless of how one looked at it, the bottom lane was Tianheng's weakest lane. If they opened up a gap in the bottom lane, allowing their own archer and support to frequently interfere with the development of the middle lane, Ye Shaoyang would not be able to lead the tempo.
In the second round, the BP phase was completely different from the first round. The Luo Divine Hall had consecutively banned [Wind Spirit], an agile archer, and [Machine Gun Hunter], an archer that could clear troops quickly, forcing Cheng Xing to choose [Sacred Spirit Archer].
There were only a few strong jack of all trades archers in the version, and the other archers had to be paired with special systems.
If Cheng Xing had chosen [Sacred Spirit Archer], the Luo Divine Hall could have easily taken down [Poison Warlock] archer and [Assassin] jungler, specifically targeting him. [Sacred Spirit Archer] was very fragile, and could not deal any damage in the early stages.
How would Tianheng deal with this?
The audience stared anxiously at the big screen.
In the end, Tianheng's first floor did not snatch the archer, but directly took [Paladin].
The Luo Divine Hall coach was delighted as he immediately took down [Poison Warlock] archer and [Stealthed Bandit] jungler. This way, regardless of which archer Cheng Xing chose, the jungler could circle around and kill him.
Tianheng took [Archer] and [Thunder Goddess].
The two commentators looked at each other in confusion.
"[Thunder Goddess] and [Archer]. [Thunder Goddess]'s lightning damage can splash around, and [Archer]'s [Fire Arrow] can also cause splash damage after activating his ultimate skill!"
"So … is Tianheng using the Splash Flow strategy?"
In the viewing area backstage, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but complain, "Tianheng has so many tricks up their sleeves this season. [Thunder Goddess] as a mid laner, paired with [Archer] as an archer, with a double C splash style, it would be very fierce in a team fight! However, the two heroes don't have displacement skills. Their self-preservation abilities aren't strong enough, and they can easily be killed by the opposing jungler. "
Xie Weiyu analyzed seriously, "However, the Luo Divine Hall jungler chose [Stealthed Bandit]. Using [Stealthed Bandit] in front of Captain Chi might not be able to kill him, right?"
Xu Zhuo laughed and said, "That's true."
In the second phase, the Luo Divine Hall consecutively took out two supports. Chi Shuo took out [Hero], a tool jungler. Following that, Tianheng chose [Dark Angel]. This was a Mana Tank hero that usually went up top.
"Didn't Tianheng take Paladin just now? Wait a minute, Paladin is going to be a support in this round!? "
"It's a tactical confusion! In the first round, Old Qin took [Paladin] to go up top. The opposing coach thought that Paladin would still go up top, but in the end, [Paladin] was sent to Qujiang, and Old Qin chose [Dark Angel]. "
"Seamless team formation. Tianheng is going to fight with you in this round!"
Paladin could jump over to pull others apart, and could also substitute to protect his teammates.
Dark Angel's ultimate skill, [Dark Curse], could forcefully immobilize opponents within range and reduce their defense.
[Hero] was a tool jungler. He was a hero that relied on his legs to deal damage. He could kick a target far away, or kick in the opposite direction, sending the opponent's weak HP into their encirclement.
With three starting points, with the addition of the mid laner and archer to provide splash damage, Tianheng's lineup was practically written with a line of words: I want to team up with you.
In this round, the Luo Divine Hall crazily targeted the bottom lane due to the BP phase. They continued taking out [Poison Warlock] and [Forest Envoy], a pair of heroes that had great endurance. The jungler [Stealthed Bandit] could threaten the opposing team's duo. The top laner [Vampire Duke] could both tank and attack, while the mid laner [Storm Goddess] was a crowd control hero.
On the surface, it looked like both sides were evenly matched. Tianheng was strong in starting a team (all sorts of crowd control), while the Luo Divine Hall was strong in endurance (all sorts of lifesteal and healing). It all depended on who killed the opposing team's DPS first in a team battle.
The match began.
The Luo Divine Hall did not crazily counter junglers this round. Chi Shuo's tool also conscientiously continued to buff his teammates until the Luo Divine Hall jungler reached level 6 and made his first grab.
The Stealthed Bandit could turn invisible and could not be found on the map.
However, Chi Shuo had a premonition that the opposing jungler would definitely grab the bottom lane.
Chi Shuo had already stared at the bottom lane and was lying in ambush in the bushes. Just as the Stealthed Bandit circled around to finish off Cheng Xing, Chi Shuo suddenly jumped out of the bushes and sent him flying with a kick!
The Stealthed Bandit was indeed a jungler. His explosive power was astounding. As long as the Stealthed Bandit was hit by his combo, the fragile hero would either die or be crippled.
However, Chi Shuo's understanding of the Stealthed Bandit was …
It was like he had a God's perspective.
He could accurately calculate the timing of the Stealthed Bandit's invisibility and even take a detour!
The effect of this scene was very comical.
Just as the Stealthed Bandit popped his head out to kill Cheng Xing, the Human Hero descended from the sky and sent him flying with a kick.
It was like a hero saving a damsel in distress in television dramas!
The live broadcast room was filled with comments on the bullet screen.
Chi Shuo: Eat my Shadowless Kick!
How dare you grab my disciple? I'll send you flying with a kick!
Shuo kicked the Bandit in front of Lieyang. Lieyang stunned the Bandit with a bolt of lightning from the sky. The poor Bandit was kicked after failing to grab someone, and then he was struck again. What a tragedy!
Chi Shuo had indeed seen Ye Shaoyang coming over to provide support, so he kicked the Stealthed Bandit to Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang was unable to reach him, so he was able to stun the opposing Bandit with a bolt of lightning.
Cheng Xing immediately followed up with damage, and the two of them quickly crippled the opposing Bandit.
The Goddess of Storms' Tornado blew towards them, but as the Bandit had been kicked away by Chi Shuo, the Luo Divine Temple's mid laner and jungler did not connect their skills. The archer was too far away, so the Bandit had no choice but to return home with low HP.
The Luo Divine Temple did not gain any advantage in the next few attempts.
It was indeed too difficult to play a Stealthed Bandit in front of Chi Shuo. Chi Shuo was able to predict your thoughts clearly. Wherever the Stealthed Bandit went, Chi Shuo would follow. It was like a 1v1 in a basketball match, where he would focus on your defense. At the moment the Bandit appeared, he would immediately kick him away, preventing him from connecting.
The Luo Divine Temple coach felt more and more upset as he watched.
He never expected that Tianheng would choose a tool like Hero, who had no damage output, to jinx their Stealthed Bandit! The Bandit had no way of closing in on the opposing duo. Under Chi Shuo's protection, Ye Shaoyang and Cheng Xing quickly developed and produced core equipment.
The top laner was too far away, so it was impossible for him to frequently support the bottom lane. The jungler could not break through from the bottom lane, and the team battle in the later stages of the game depended on the top laner's performance.
Perhaps the Vampire Duke could open up the situation by forcefully cutting into the back lane?
The Luo Divine Temple coach clenched his fists nervously.
Coach Lin Feng, who was also in the spectator area, had a smile on his face and looked relaxed.
Tianheng had been practicing the team battle system of Thunder Goddess and Archer for some time. He believed that the combination of Shaoyang and Cheng Xing would give everyone a pleasant surprise.
At the twelfth minute of the match, both sides were in a stalemate.
Luo Divine Temple's Stealthed Bandit could not kill Tianheng's duo, but Chi Shuo's tool, Hero, was similarly unable to kill Luo Divine Temple's damage output. Both sides were dragging on, but the kill ratio was still at 00.
When Luo Divine Temple saw that they could not open up a gap in the bottom lane, they immediately switched to the top lane. They killed Old Qin in a 3v1 and pushed the outer tower!
Chi Shuo organized an attack on the bottom lane. They killed the opposing archer in a 4v2 and pushed the outer tower down.
Both sides exchanged towers, but no one was at a disadvantage.
At the fifteenth minute of the match, Chi Shuo set up a gathering sign in the middle lane.
The top and bottom lanes immediately gathered in the middle lane. The five of them pushed the middle tower, forcing Luo Divine Temple to defend.
Suddenly, Qujiang pressed the "Initiate Attack" notification. The tall and burly Paladin decisively charged into the crowd to force a teamfight. Old Qin immediately followed up and used a "Dark Curse" to lock the three opponents in the middle lane!
Chi Shuo kept circling the perimeter. The opposing bandit wanted to switch to the archer, but was kicked away by Chi Shuo, who was constantly on guard.
The opposing bandit charged at Cheng Xing, but was dodged by Cheng Xing who flashed into the bushes.
Ye Shaoyang immediately began channeling his ultimate move — Five-Blow-Thunderstruck!
A mass of dark clouds spread out in the sky, followed closely by purple lightning crackling down, striking the three people in front of him unconscious!
A lightning chain symbol appeared on the trio's bodies. Cheng Xing took the opportunity to shoot out a fire arrow with his ultimate move. The flaming arrows split into two in the air, and then into four. They shot straight at the group of people connected by the lightning and exploded!
Archer relied on his ultimate move to deal damage. After the fire arrow split, it could deal a considerable amount of AOE splash damage. If the opponents were scattered, the fire arrow would not hit too many people. On the contrary, the more concentrated the opponents were, the more each fire arrow would splash around, dealing more damage!
At this moment, Qujiang and Old Qin's combo controlled the opponents together.
Ye Shaoyang's lightning bolts struck the three opponents together, leaving them charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Furthermore, it added a "lightning" chain damage to the three of them. Even ordinary skills could be transmitted through the lightning chain.
This was the [Goddess of Thunder]'s core combo. An [Archer]'s fire arrow would scatter in all directions, and the damage from the scatter would be double the damage after being conducted by lightning!
Chi Shuo was protecting by the side, preventing the opposing jungler and top laner from cutting into the backline. Cheng Xing's environment for dealing damage was excellent. His ultimate move dealt full damage!
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows!
Sharp arrows that blotted out the sky and covered the earth shot over in a densely packed manner. Sparks flew in all directions, as if it was raining fire!
The three of them had been crippled by the [Goddess of Thunder]'s combo, so after Cheng Xing dealt full damage, [Forest Envoy] could not recover his health even if he used his ultimate move to recover.
— [Tianheng Fanxing (Archer) killed [LSD-Feifei (Goddess of Storms)]!
— [Tianheng Fanxing (Archer) killed [LSD-little Yin (Poison Warlock)]!
— [Tianheng Fanxing (Archer) killed [LSD-Double-bean (Forest Envoy)]!
The Luo Divine Hall's top laner finally caught up to Cheng Xing, who had flashed into the bushes. With an explosive combo, he killed Cheng Xing. However, three people from the Luo Divine Hall had died in a blink of an eye. Even though Cheng Xing was killed, he had dealt enough damage to get three kills before he died.
In the past, he died with grievances, but this time, he died peacefully.
After his death, Cheng Xing said excitedly, "I killed three. It's not a loss at all!"
Ye Shaoyang praised, "Little Xing, well done."
In this team battle, one for three, Tianheng's economy soared. Ye Shaoyang's [Goddess of Thunder] was equipped with luxurious equipment, while Cheng Xing's [Archer] was finished with his damage output. The Luo Divine Hall jungler was being watched by Chi Shuo from the beginning, so he could not kill Cheng Xing. The top laner wanted to kill Cheng Xing, but he was blocked by Qujiang's Substitute skill.
Tianheng's economy was rapidly growing, and they were snatching resources as they forced the team battle.
In the crucial team battle, the Luo Divine Hall was unable to deal with the two damage dealers, Cheng Xing and Ye Shaoyang. They were once again dealt full damage by the duo's [Lightning Chain] + [Fire Arrow].
The dense lightning bolts and the overwhelming rain of fire announced the end of the match.
In the live broadcast studio, Tianheng's fans were so excited that they filled the screen with comments.
There was lightning and fire. It was like a scene from a movie!
Being struck by lightning until they were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, followed by being burned to ashes by the Fire Arrow.
Being struck unconscious together before being roasted into skewers? Tianheng's [Lightning Chain] was very strong!
Tianheng was really strong this season.
Water, Fire, Sun, Moon, and Stars, charge forward! Charge to Group S, charge to the finals!
In the commentator stands, the two commentators were also excited.
"Congratulations to Tianheng for winning this match!"
"The MVP of this match is given to Fanxing. Little Star's archer's performance was indeed outstanding. In two consecutive crucial team battles, he dealt full damage with his [Fire Arrow] and achieved 45% of the team's damage output!"
"Of course, Lieyang's mid laner's performance was still commendable. The [Lightning Chain] connected the opposing team's squishy skin together every time. Zhuhuo and Jiangshui's teamwork was seamless, and Shuoyue was guarding and protecting from the side. Tianheng was able to win this match because the five of them worked very well together!"
"The matches in Group A have been completed. Let's take a look at the current standings."
The final standings in Group A were revealed.
Tianheng had won five consecutive matches, so there was no doubt that they were the first to advance.
Yueying had won three matches and lost two matches, while Luo Divine Hall had won three matches. Both teams had the same net score, but as Yueying had defeated Luo Divine Hall in the group stage, Yueying was ranked at the front and had the priority to advance.
"Once again, congratulations to Tianheng for winning all of Group A's matches to advance to the next round! I believe that today's match will let everyone have a new understanding of Tianheng's team. Tianheng has improved tremendously this season. Their future is promising! "
"Let's look forward to Tianheng's performance in the elimination round!"
