After the first two games, there was a long break. The players could go backstage to use the restroom.
The moment Ye Shaoyang opened the soundproof room, he was immediately drowned by the deafening sound.
The fans below the stage were holding up support cards and cheering for the ATB team. The fans were still smiling, as if the ATB team would definitely win tonight.
Ye Shaoyang was used to such scenes, so he turned around and went backstage.
Lin Feng came up and said, "The rhythm of the second game is good. Everyone, take a break. Is there anyone who wants to use the restroom?"
Cheng Xing ran to the restroom nervously.
Qujiang was worried that he would be alone, so he went with him.
Old Qin sat in his chair and sighed. "The ATB team is really good. I was under a lot of pressure when I played against Han Chengyu. My palms were sweating."
He didn't dare to say that it distracted his teammates during the game, but he felt much better during the break.
Ye Shaoyang smiled and patted Old Qin's shoulder. "You played well today. I like to see Han Chengyu's annoyed face when he wants to kill you but can't."
Old Qin laughed. "That's true. Every time he found an opportunity to kill me, he was killed instead. Our solo jungler is faster! "
Han Chengyu was very popular in the Korean Professional League. Many top laners of teams were killed by him. But Tianheng's Old Qin was like an unkillable bull, extremely resistant to beatings. This was also the key to Tianheng's stability.
Unknowingly, this unknown top laner of Tianheng had become the most resistant side laner.
Chi Shuo was relieved. After Yangyang joined Tianheng, everyone in Tianheng had changed. Even Lin Lian was smiling more than before. Now the score was 1: 1. It should have been a tense moment, but Lin Lian was holding a notebook with a smile, looking down at something.
Chi Shuo didn't speak. "Lian, how are we going to play the next game?"
Lin Lian said, "Let's play!"
The three of them: "…"
At this moment, Qujiang Cheng Xing, who had quickly finished his urgent questions, returned. Only then did Lin Lian stop smiling and become serious. "The first two rounds were 1: 1. Let's treat it as a new set of 'best-of-three' matches. Everyone, relax and fight seriously. I believe that as long as everyone plays their roles well, our strategy will definitely win. "
What Lian said could be considered as a reassurance to the team members.
The Tianheng Practice Team had been studying the ATB during the national competition. They had specially set up several sets of lineups for the two of them over the past few days. They had also consulted Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo's opinions and integrated the systems that the two of them were good at.
Lin Lian was originally worried that the finalists would make mistakes due to nervousness.
Now that he looked at it, he had worried for nothing.
All of them looked even better than usual!
Lin Lian looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, "In the third round, we will focus on killing Pu Yuanxi. We will directly break through from the middle! Didn't the Korean media boast that he was the world's number one mid laner, saying that our Yangyang only won the Singles because Pu Yuanxi did not participate? Prove it to him. Let him see if your individual champion title was a fluke. "
Ye Shaoyang smiled. "Understood."
At the same time, in the soundproof room in Korea.
The ATB Practice Team frowned and said, "They were too fast in the second round. It's normal that we did not react in time. It's okay, don't think too much about it. We'll take down the third and fourth round consecutively. Let's not waste our breath on them! "
Cui He raised his eyebrows and said, "In the first two rounds, Shuoyue used [Sword God] and [Pugilist] as junglers. He did not let him pick a jungler. Are we going to continue targeting junglers in the third round?"
The ATB Practice Team turned around and looked at Pu Yuanxi. "In the third round, Tianheng might steal the middle jungler in the first phase. If I continuously ban junglers and send out spikes in the middle lane, can you control it?"
Pu Yuanxi chuckled. "Of course. Lieyang isn't the only one who plays a hero like [Abyss Lord]. If I use this hero, I can also set the pace. "
Cui He said, "Yes, it's time to show them the lineup we used in the mock competition. They won't be able to beat us just because they won one round by luck."
Han Chengyu clenched his fists and said, "Let's get this over with quickly."
The third round was about to begin.
When the five ATB players returned to the stage, they received enthusiastic applause from the audience. When the five Tianheng players returned to the stage, not many people applauded. However, they received a large number of bullet screen comments from the Chinese netizens.
[Water, Fire, Sun, Moon, and Star, do your best ~]
[Tianheng Xiong, take down the third round for me!]
[If China wins the championship today, I'll do a live stream of myself washing my hair upside down _]
[I'll say this on behalf of Yangyang: ATB, thank you for letting us win!]
Countless netizens' bullet screen comments flooded the broadcast room in their distant homeland. Yao Mu looked at the densely packed words in the broadcast room and said with a smile, "I believe that the players from Tianheng will be able to feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cameraman's camera focused on Ye Shaoyang. He waved at the camera and greeted the Chinese netizens who were watching the broadcast. His smile was relaxed and casual, without the slightest hint of nervousness from a big competition.
The broadcast room was instantly filled with excitement.
[Yangyang's signature _, I predict this round will be a sure win.]
[He really looks like this when he smiles, hahaha.]
[This Omega really has a big heart. It's the finals, so you better be serious. Don't laugh!]
Brother Dong said, "Yangyang is greeting everyone. He looks relaxed, and the other Tianheng players are adjusting their mentality well. The competition is about to begin, so let's look forward to the third round of Tianheng's ATB!"
A BP image appeared on the screen.
In the third round, the ATB went to blue. Their first ban continued on Chi Shuo's [Stealth Rogue], while their second ban targeted Chi Shuo's [Ninja]. They still didn't let Chi Shuo get the wild core.
Tianheng continued to ban Archers, targeting the bottom lane. They consecutively banned [Wind Spirit] and [Flying Arrow Meteor], two T0 Archers.
The ATB banned [Lord of the Abyss] twice in a row, but they didn't ban this round?
Yao Mu said doubtfully, "Yangyang's [Lord of the Abyss] was banned in the first two rounds, but they actually released it in the third round. Could it be that … the ATB wants to steal this hero? They're blue, so they can steal it first! "
Brother Dong was just about to speak when he saw the ATB directly snatch [Lord of the Abyss] from the first floor!
Sure enough, it was a must pick.
There was a burst of cheers, and the Korean fans were crazily shouting Pu Yuanxi's match ID. Although Ye Shaoyang was made [Lord of the Abyss], Pu Yuanxi's [Lord of the Abyss] had never been on the international rankings.
The Korean netizens were immediately excited — —
[Yuanhee's [Lord of the Abyss] is number one in the international rankings!]
[I heard that Sunshine is number one in the Chinese server? The server definitely can't compare to the international server!]
[Looks like Yuanhee is serious, he's taking out his signature move!]
When Ye Shaoyang saw this scene, his heart was very calm, and he even wanted to laugh.
[Lord of the Abyss] was Ye Shaoyang's most popular hero. He debuted with five kills, and he won the MVP of the Chinese server finals with five kills. He had also used this hero to defeat his opponent in the Singles Tournament.
If Pu Yuanxi really used [Lord of the Abyss] to defeat Ye Shaoyang, then the Korean media's claim that "Ye Shaoyang won the Singles Tournament because Pu Yuanxi did not participate" would be confirmed.
Everyone acknowledged that Pu Yuanxi's [Lord of the Abyss] was stronger than Ye Shaoyang.
His calculations were not bad. Unfortunately, his calculations might not go as he wished.
When it was Tianheng's turn to choose, Tianheng directly chose [Kung Fu Master] top laner [Demon Hunter]. Yao Mu said, "Demon Hunter jungler! Chi Dui was also targeted too miserably, so he decisively chose a jungler in the first phase of the game. Although it's not a strong jungler, this hero can be used for mid-range control, so it's quite effective against [Lord of the Abyss]. "
On the second floor of the ATB, the jungler [Shadow of the Waning Moon] was chosen. This was also the hero that Chi Shuo had played in Tianheng's "Sun, Moon, and Stars" system. It required extreme control, unlimited combos, and came and went without a trace. However, this hero was not very stable and needed the cooperation of teammates. Cui He dared to choose this hero, which showed how confident he was.
On the third floor, they chose [Archer] [Holy Spirit Archer]. This way, the three cores of the ATB were chosen.
On Tianheng's third floor, they chose the support [Radiant Shield].
In the second phase of the game, they began to target other positions. Tianheng banned the opposing support, while the ATB targeted the mid laner. As Ye Shaoyang still did not choose the mid laner, they consecutively banned [Goddess of Destiny] [Illusionist]'s two spikes.
On Tianheng's fourth floor, they chose [Archer] [Machine Gun Hunter] to quickly push the tower.
On the fourth/fifth floor of the ATB, the support [Forest Messenger] and the top laner [Black Dragon Knight] were chosen. One of them was a "healer" and the other was a tank that could heal and start the team, and protect the three main tanks.
Tianheng was left with a last resort, the counter position.
Yao Mu said expectantly, "What mid laner will Yangyang choose? His spikes are almost completely banned, so if he cooperates with Chi Dui's [Demon Hunter], maybe he will choose [World Destroyer]? The jungler will control the opposing side, and the mid laner will directly insta-kill him? "
Brother Dong joked, "Let's not guess. We've never guessed Lieyang's choice."
In the next moment, on Tianheng's fifth floor, they locked onto the hero [Dark Angel].
And it was an insta-kill without hesitation.
The Chinese live broadcast room exploded — —
[What's going on? Where's the mid laner?]
[Tianheng is in a competition. Don't guess the mid laner. It'd be a miracle if you could guess it!]
The five ATB players were also confused. What did this mean?
In Tianheng's lineup, [Machine Gun Hunter] and [Radiant Shield] were undoubtedly the bottom laner duo.
[Demon Hunter] was a fixed jungler. This hero's advantage was that he had long arms, and his farming speed was fast. He could place hooks to control opponents from a distance, and enemies targeted by [Demon Hunter] would fall into a Fear state and be unable to move. His disadvantage was that he didn't have enough burst damage, so he couldn't be used as a core jungler.
[Dark Angel] was a Magic Tank, and he also had long-range control skills. He usually went to the top laner, which was perfect for [Demon Hunter]. The distance between the two heroes' skills was about the same, and they could seamlessly chain control skills.
But if [Dark Angel] was the top laner and [Demon Hunter] was the jungler, then what the hell was [Kung Fu Master]?!
Wasn't [Kung Fu Master] also a top laner? Ah?
The two Korean commentators were speechless. "Tianheng seems to have made a BP error? There's no magic damage? "
Another commentator said, "[Dark Angel] has magic damage, although the damage is on the low side … Yes, the jungler [Demon Hunter] can also be equipped with AP and deal magic damage. Therefore, this lineup had enough spell damage. But what about the mid laner? "
The five Tianheng players quickly changed positions in the hearts of the curious e-sports fans all over the world.
The five heroes were changed back and forth, and in the end, the jungler and archer were arranged as everyone expected. The two top laners were arranged … Old Qin took [Dark Angel] as the top laner, and Ye Shaoyang actually took [Kung Fu Master] as the mid laner!!
In China, Xu Zhuo, who was watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but ridicule, "F * ck, he couldn't have gotten the inspiration from me, right?"
Xie Weiyu lowered his head and said, "It's possible. After all, when our Yueying won against Tianheng, you used [Kung Fu Master] to kill Tianheng's CS, and even cosplayed [Kung Fu Master] in the All-Star Game. Yangyang probably thought that this hero's CS was quite useful? So, he chose this hero to cut Pu Yuanxi. "
Xu Zhuo was going crazy. "He's a mid laner! Using a Warrior as the mid laner … "
Xie Weiyu said in admiration, "Yangyang is not an ordinary mid laner. He always comes up with strange ideas. Usually, when we play ranked in the international server, he often uses various heroes to play mid laner. So, no matter what hero he brings out, I won't be surprised? "
Xu Zhuo was speechless. "I'm convinced. Is there anyone who can control him? Can he not be so arrogant? "
Xie Weiyu chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that other than Captain Chi, no one can control him. As for Captain Chi, don't talk about controlling him, he goes along with whatever he wants. "
Xu Zhuo: "…"
In the soundproof room, Ye Shaoyang smiled as he changed his public skill to [Flash].
Pu Yuanxi, you dare to play [Lord of the Abyss] in front of me? You, I'll use other Wizards to fight against you?
Don't forget the simplest and most brutal way to deal with Mage Stab —
It was to use the ferocious side attack to directly instakill him!
Pu Yuanxi's expression was not good at this time, and his original smile was frozen on his lips.
He had played so many matches and met all kinds of mid laners, but this was the first time he was fighting against a Kung Fu Master!
Cui He frowned and said, "What kind of messy lineup is this? Pay attention to avoiding [Demon Hunter]'s hook. There's nothing to be afraid of. Develop steadily from the start. When I reach level 6, I'll directly destroy their mid laner! "
The match began. [Demon Hunter] was not a jungler. The ATB did not target junglers in the early stages. Instead, it focused on developing steadily so that Cui He could quickly reach level 6.
On Tianheng's side, Chi Shuo directly gave the first blue buff to Ye Shaoyang. This way, he would not be able to reach level 6 immediately. However, [Demon Hunter]'s crowd-control skill was a Q skill, so it could be used without reaching level 6. Not reaching level 6 would not affect Chi Shuo much, but it would affect Ye Shaoyang more.
Pu Yuanxi quickly sent out a blue buff. Ye Shaoyang came to the front line, and his level was one level higher than his.
[Lord of the Abyss]'s black shadow could clear the minions in the early stages. However, every time Pu Yuanxi sent out a black shadow, Ye Shaoyang would immediately raise the Sharp Blade in his hand and slash the shadow to death.
[Kung Fu Master]'s normal attack damage in the early stages was much higher than that of a Wizard.
Pu Yuanxi was actually suppressed and could not clear the minions. He could only continue to send out a second shadow to clear the minions. This way, his mana consumption was more serious.
Cui He was a wild core, so it was impossible to give him a blue buff.
Ye Shaoyang had a blue buff, but he could use his skills to clear the minions without restraint. His speed was much faster than Pu Yuanxi's.
After a short two waves of minions, Pu Yuanxi was' forced 'to return home.
Yao Mu could not help but say, "Yangyang really knows [Lord of the Abyss]'s rhythm of clearing minions too well. He even knows exactly which position Pu Yuanxi wants the black shadow to go to."
Cui He sighed, "This is the first time I've seen Pu Yuanxi suppressed."
Yao Mu was very happy, but she still maintained a calm expression and said, "He took out [Lord of the Abyss] in front of Yangyang because he was too confident. He did not put Yangyang's [Lord of the Abyss] in his eyes. He also did not expect that Yangyang would send a warrior to fight against him!"
A Wizard fighting against a Warrior in the early stages?
It was like a son meeting his father.
Even the nimble Mage Spike did not dare to go head to head with a warrior. Mage Spike's combo might not be able to instantly kill a warrior, but a warrior's two normal attacks could cripple a fragile mage.
In a team battle, mages would usually take a detour when they saw a warrior.
But in this match, Ye Shaoyang directly used a warrior to play the mid lane, and let Chi Shuo be the AP damage dealer.
Pu Yuanxi had no way to avoid it. He couldn't just switch lanes and go top lane, right?
As the first wave of minions was cleared, Pu Yuanxi's face became more and more unsightly — — he had missed a minion.
It had been a long time since he had made such a mistake in a match.
In this match, Ye Shaoyang's [Kung Fu Master] was very fierce. Every time he killed his shadow, he would slowly clear the minions. This made it very difficult for Pu Yuanxi to keep three shadows in hand.
As the match progressed, Cui He's body lit up with a level up light effect.
Almost at the same time, Ye Shaoyang's body lit up with a blue light.
The ATB jungler Tianheng's mid laner had both reached level 6!
Ye Shaoyang was able to reach level 6 immediately because Chi Shuo had given him a lot of resources in the jungle. Cui He, on the other hand, had reached level 6 even though he had farmed crazily.
Cui He placed an attack mark on the mid lane: "Kill the mid lane."
Pu Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief and stared intently at the screen: "Okay, I'll lure him out with a wave of minions."
At the same time, Chi Shuo also came to the mid lane. From the spectators' omniscient view, they could see that the junglers on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, were lying in ambush in the bushes at the side of the tower.
The spectators immediately tensed up.
Who would make the first move?
At this moment, the two armies met in the mid lane.
Pu Yuanxi took a step to the side, and in the next moment, he saw a blue moonlight mark suddenly hit Ye Shaoyang. A blue and white figure instantly sprang out from the bushes and used the moonlight mark to reach Ye Shaoyang's side — —
[Shadow of the Waning Moon], an extremely difficult jungler.
Cui He's movements were indeed very smooth and very cool. He used a set of combo moves and was about to stun Ye Shaoyang.
However …
The moment he appeared, a hook flew out from the side and accurately locked onto him — — this was the [Demon Hunter]'s [Hunting's Aim] skill.
When the [Demon Hunter] aimed at its prey, the prey would fall into a state of "fear" and be unable to move.
Chi Shuo's accurate judgment and perfect timing had interrupted Cui He's combo move!
Almost at the same time, Ye Shaoyang dodged in the opposite direction and instantly arrived beside Pu Yuanxi.
Pu Yuanxi was level 5, while Ye Shaoyang was level 6.
Pu Yuanxi was a fragile mage, while Ye Shaoyang was a warrior with explosive power.
Seeing [Kung Fu Master] close in, Pu Yuanxi subconsciously wanted to dodge.
However, Ye Shaoyang's reaction was too fast. Almost at the moment when Cui He was about to kill him, he pressed the 'Dodge' button. Before Pu Yuanxi could press the 'Dodge' button, Ye Shaoyang had already knocked him out.
[Kung Fu Master]'s combo move enveloped [Lord of the Abyss] with a snow-white blade.
Pu Yuanxi was not a weakling who would die on the spot. After the stun ended, he immediately switched positions with the black shadow and escaped. However, [Kung Fu Master] had a second stage Qinggong that allowed him to pursue and attack. This was also the reason why this hero was a huge deterrent to the backline.
Ye Shaoyang leaped and flew directly to the bottom of the tower. With a single strike, he killed Pu Yuanxi who had switched positions with the black shadow.
— — First blood!
The system's sound effects caused the domestic audience to explode with 6666!
Ye Shaoyang leaped to kill with a first stage Qinggong and left the bottom of the tower with a second stage Qinggong. Cui He wanted to turn around and kill him, but it was too late. Chi Shuo covered Ye Shaoyang and quickly retreated. Cui He was so angry that he almost crushed his mouse.
Pu Yuanxi's expression was ugly.
Zhongjungler Alliance vs Zhongjungler Alliance. What happened next?
The ATB's mid laner was instantly killed, and Tianheng's duo safely retreated.
Brother Dong laughed, "In this wave, Tianheng Lieyang was obviously cool. He took the initiative to jump over the tower and kill, then retreated with full health. He used his second stage Qinggong to completely avoid the tower's damage! However, Shuoyue's contribution was also huge. If he hadn't used a hook to control the opposing jungler and interrupted Cui He's [Moonlight] combo, Lieyang might have been controlled by Cui He. Then, Pu Yuanxi would have followed up with [Mark] damage, and the one who died would have been Lieyang. "
Yao Mu said, "Yes, both of them are world-class mid laners, but when it comes to 2v2 coordination, Tianheng's mid laner is clearly faster, and his synchronization is also higher! Let's take a look at the replay of this wave. What's amazing is that Shuoyue and Lieyang both used their skills at almost the same time! "
Most mid laners' coordination consisted of you controlling the opponent first, then attacking after you controlled the opponent. Although they could still coordinate well and complete the kill, there would always be a slight time difference.
The terrifying thing about Tianheng's mid laner's synchronization was — —
When you attacked, I attacked as well.
They didn't need to discuss who would go first and who would go last, and they didn't need to see if their teammates' skills were accurate.
They always believed that as long as they had their hands, they could leave their backs to the opponent.
— — I always believed that you could do it.
Just like when Cui He wanted to kill Ye Shaoyang, Ye Shaoyang didn't hesitate to dodge in the opposite direction, as if he was sending himself to his death. It wasn't that he was reckless, but because he completely believed that Chi Shuo could interrupt Cui He's combo and ensure his safety.
This kind of trust didn't need to be acknowledged.
Below the stage, Ming Sheng's eyes were slightly warm, and he said with a smile, "Ah Shuo is really lucky to have met Yangyang. When I cooperated with him, I couldn't do it like this, to leave my back to the opponent without worry. "
In the soundproof room, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo didn't look at each other.
Ye Shaoyang didn't even shout "beautiful". The two of them just pressed "Mid laner, come and get mana" on Chi Shuo's map. Ye Shaoyang pressed "Got it" and retreated back to farm mana.
"Mid laner, come and get mana" was the sign that Chi Shuo often used after Ye Shaoyang joined the team.
At this moment, Ye Shaoyang felt incomparably warm when he heard this familiar system voice.
He and Chi Shuo didn't need to say anything more.
Just focus on rushing and leave your back to me — — this was the tacit understanding between them.
Cui He and Pu Yuxi were both strong individuals.
The truly "world-class" Zhongye alliance still depended on Tianheng's Sun and Moon combination!
