After the first game, FNO's training room fell into a strange silence.
After a few seconds, Coach Tom came back to his senses and typed to Lin Feng. "I'll go get a cup of coffee first, can we pause for a few minutes?" Lin Feng replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go get a cup of tea too."
Both coaches paused.
Tom turned around and asked, "What happened? Mitchell, how did you get killed single-handedly? "
Mitchell's head was full of question marks. "I want to know why too." He looked up at his coach. "Coach, you said that Qujiang only knows how to play control heroes and can't use stabs, and Tianheng has a wild lineup?"
Tom lowered his head and drank some water to hide his embarrassment. "That's the information I got."
Top laner Kriman asked seriously, "Could it be that the information from China was wrong?"
Mitchell scratched his head and quickly looked at the replay of the scene where he was killed single-handedly.
[Sorcerer] was restrained by [Lord of the Abyss] to a certain extent because [Sorcerer] was a melee hero with a short attack range. [Lord of the Abyss] was not only a long-range sorcerer, but also used shadows as a means of attack. When the two heroes were facing each other, he couldn't hit the opponent, but the opponent could hit him.
But even if he was restrained, Mitchell was still a world-class mid laner who had debuted for two seasons!
How could it be so easy to kill him single-handedly?
In the previous wave, Mitchell had just finished casting his skills and his body had stiffened for 0.1 seconds. His shield had also been broken, so the opponent had seized the opportunity to finish him off.
This wasn't a coincidence.
The opponent had calculated everything.
The midlaner, who seemed to be very cautious and cowering under the tower, had not only calculated his skill cooldown and stun time, but also his defense and HP. He had 80% of his HP, and his shield was not on him. It was only after all the skills of the Lord of the Abyss hit him that he was killed!
A chill ran down Mitchell's spine.
Terrifying calmness, precise calculation, and a sharp grasp of timing …
The mid laner opposite him wasn't simple!
Mitchell quickly sat up straight and stared at the computer screen. "Coach, your information is definitely wrong. Tianheng's mid laner is world-class. Fighting against him wasn't as stressful as fighting against Fang Zhengqing, but as long as I made the slightest mistake, he would be able to instantly kill me. His ability to judge the situation is very strong! "
Coach Tom was lost in thought.
A world-class mid laner? Could it be that Tianheng spent a high price to buy a top-tier mid laner?
He was quite surprised that Coach Lin had suddenly asked him out for a training match. After all, the two teams hadn't played against each other for three years. It was said that Tianheng's archer and support had retired. Their FNO bottom lane duo had also retired. He had thought that Tianheng was mainly training their bottom lane this time.
He didn't expect Tianheng's middle lane to change so much.
The core lineup of the Lord of the Abyss directly stunned FNO.
Mitchell's 0-3-3 record was simply inconceivable!
Tom immediately perked up and said, "In the next round, Mitchell, don't be stubborn. Put away your short-handed Sun Wheel Mage and give me a long-range cannon!"
Mitchell had originally wanted to continue using his Sun Wheel Mage to fight against the Lord of the Abyss and regain his lost face. But looking at Coach Lin's serious expression, he silently put away this thought and said, "Then I'll take [Terminator Mage]."
Tom pretended to pour coffee and urgently discussed countermeasures.
Coach Lin also pretended to drink water and replayed the previous round. He looked at Ye Shaoyang and said in disbelief, "Shaoyang, you actually defeated Mitchell?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "In the previous round, I was probably lucky? Mitchell made a mistake in positioning and was caught by me. He underestimated me and didn't take me seriously. "
Lin Feng was speechless.
Underestimating the opponent was indeed a taboo in a competition. Shaoyang's explanation made sense. From God's perspective, it was indeed Mitchell who underestimated his opponent and made a mistake in positioning. Shaoyang looked like a coward, but he played very calmly.
Lin Feng temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart and said, "In the second round, they probably won't underestimate us again. What line-up should we use? "
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang looked at each other.
They didn't plan to use their signature lineups like Double Flying and Double Wolves for the time being. Once they used them, they would definitely lose.
Just now, they had used [Lord of the Abyss]'s core system. It was meaningless to use it again. Ye Shaoyang thought for a while and asked Chi Shuo, "Captain Chi, are you going to play in the jungle? I'll take a utility mid and follow you in the next round. "
Chi Shuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll take [King of Fighters]. We'll play around the bottom lane in this round."
Cheng Xing immediately sat up nervously when he heard this.
Play around the bottom lane. The bottom lane of this round would probably be a fight between immortals!
The second round began.
Both sides quickly finished choosing their heroes.
FNO's line-up was [Vampire Duke], [Succubus] in the jungle, [Vampire Prince] and [Vampire Bride] in the bottom lane, and [World Destroyer] in the middle lane.
Tianheng's line-up was [Black Dragon Knight] in the top lane, [King of Fighters] in the jungle, [Shield of Glory] and [Cannoneer] in the bottom lane, and they actually took a [Saint Necromancer] in the middle lane.
After both sides chose their lineups, they were silent for a few seconds.
Chi Shuo analyzed in the command channel, "FNO is a classic 'blood-sucking' playstyle. The three vampire heroes in the top lane and bottom lane will suck blood for a long time. The middle lane will insta-kill people, and the jungler is flexible and controls the field. This line-up is very strong in team battles."
At the same time, Mitchell also analyzed in the command channel, "Tianheng's line-up is really wild this time! [Saint Necromancer] in the middle lane is a utility. Isn't he good at stabbing? Why is he taking a utility? "
Kriman, the top lane, said, "If he takes the Saint Necromancer, captain, it will be difficult for you to insta-kill him."
In the background of the fantasy game Clash of Gods, the [Destroyer Mage] belonged to the dark forces of the Devil Race, while the [Saint Necromancer] belonged to the light forces of the Heavenly Realm. The two of them were classmates. Later on, they took different paths and went from being friends to being sworn enemies.
The six clouds of black fog that the Destroyer Mage released were considered black magic. If released well, they could insta-kill weak HP.
On the other hand, the [Purifying Light Shield] of the Saint Necromancer was considered white magic. It could resist all magic attacks.
Therefore, when these two heroes faced each other, that was …
You can't kill me, and I can't kill you either.
Mitchell had wanted to insta-kill the Cannon Mage in this round to teach the other side a lesson and let them know how good he was! In the end, the other side took a spell tank?
Mitchell was speechless.
Could he crawl over to China and beat people up?
The match began.
FNO once again invaded as a team to steal Chi Shuo's mana. Chi Shuo was always countered by other junglers, and he had learned to be smart. He took Ye Shaoyang and Qujiang with him to steal the opponent's mana.
Both junglers started the match with two buffs and steadily developed.
In the middle lane, Mitchell was much more cautious and paid more attention to his positioning. Ye Shaoyang still followed the strategy of "not leaving the tower". He slowly used the Saint Necromancer's Light Ball to clear the minions.
[Saint Necromancer] was a Fathom Tank. He was the hero with the lowest attack and the highest defense among the Mages. His most important use was his E skill [Saint Spirit Shield]. He could add a thick layer of shield to designated teammates and increase their magic defense. It was equivalent to giving teammates an additional 2,000 yuan worth of defensive equipment.
The second use was his ultimate skill [Saint Spirit Seal]. He could seal designated enemies in his transparent Light Ball, making them unable to do anything for 2.5 seconds.
Saint Spirit Seal was a "Dominate" control skill. It could not be removed and was one of the most powerful control skills. However, this skill also had a flaw. When the Saint Necromancer controlled others, he could not move. It was equivalent to becoming a live target.
Therefore, this hero was more suitable for a "tool".
During a team fight, he could control the opponent's core and kill the opponent instantly. It would not be a loss even if he was killed.
In the early stages of the match, the Saint Necromancer's shield had been added to his body. The golden shield was very beautiful. It increased his defense and health. Mitchell was simply speechless. He did not want to waste his skills on this Fathom Tank.
Soon, both junglers reached level 6.
Mitchell immediately pressed the notification. "The opponent's jungler has reached level 6. Be careful in the bottom lane!"
Chi Shuo also put up a warning sign in the bottom lane river.
The duo at the bottom lane quickly cleared their minions and prepared to retreat at any time.
At this moment, FNO's jungler [Succubus] suddenly appeared behind Cheng Xing like a ghost. With a [Charm] skill, Cheng Xing was stunned on the spot. Angus' archer [Vampire Bride] immediately used her ultimate skill. The arrow in her hand splattered blood. In the blink of an eye, five layers of blood stacked on Cheng Xing's body!
Seeing that Cheng Xing was about to be killed by the opponent, Chi Shuo's [King of Fighters] charged out of the bushes and punched [Vampire Bride] to the wall.
[King of Fighters] killed [Vampire Bride]!]
[Succubus killed [Cannoneer]!]
Both sides' archers fell to the ground at the same time. Both junglers took a kill each.
Chi Shuo retreated. Kevin on the opposite side also retreated tactfully.
In this wave of exchange of archers, neither side was able to gain an advantage. In the first wave of Little Dragon, because the archer was not there, both sides were not in a hurry to start fighting. They continued to clear their minions and develop.
The game went on for six minutes.
Mitchell realized that the opposing mid laner had disappeared and immediately prompted, "Mid laner, MISS!"
He quickly followed after her.
In the bottom lane, Cheng Xing and Qujiang VS Allen and Angus. Both sides were 2v2. Then, they realized that their own jungler and mid laner had circled around from the jungle. A small-scale team battle was about to start!
This time, it was Tianheng who made the first move.
Ye Shaoyang hid in the bushes at the side. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Angus poked his head out, he immediately flashed over and used [Holy Spirit Seal] to freeze Angus' archer in place!
The seal lasted for 2.5 seconds. Chi Shuo decisively followed up and used a combo to kill the opposing archer.
At the same time, Mitchell emerged from the bushes. [Curse of the Apocalypse]!
Six balls of black fog were like fast-moving pythons and accurately hit the archer in the back. The ultimate move of the Apocalypse Sorcerer was extremely powerful. It instantly killed Cheng Xing, who was hiding under the tower and secretly attacking.
Angus: "T _ T"
Cheng Xing: "T _ T"
The archers on both sides were sent home again.
This 4v4 team battle was more intense than the previous one. After the archer died, the mid, jungler, and support started a 3v3. Ye Shaoyang did his best to be a good tool and put a shield on Chi Shuo.
With a shield and increased defense, Chi Shuo showed you what it meant to be a wild seed!
He directly charged forward and used a combo to kill the mid laner, Mitchell.
Of course, Ye Shaoyang gave the shield to Chi Shuo, which meant that he would be vulnerable. He did not have any skills now and had already used his Flash. The opposing jungler, Kevin, quickly finished him off.
This was a 2v2 trade. On the surface, it looked like it was a draw.
But in reality, Tianheng had profited greatly!
Chi Shuo's wild seed had gotten a double kill. For FNO, Mitchell and Kevin each took a kill.
Mitchell had killed the archer, which was a good gain. But killing the mid laner? In this round, Tianheng's mid laner was a tool. His economy was given to the jungler, so there was no point in killing him.
Let the wild seed develop!
Mitchell realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his strategy. "Go to the jungler's area. We can't let the jungler be too comfortable!"
After FNO was revived, the four of them formed a team to counter the red. Ye Shaoyang quickly provided support.
Mitchell was undoubtedly smart. The Saint Necromancer's ultimate skill had a long cooldown time. They seized the opportunity to counter the jungler during the opponent's cooldown time to think of a way to kill Chi Shuo.
However, it was a good plan, but it was not the case in real combat …
Almost as soon as the four of them appeared in the jungler, Ye Shaoyang threw a golden shield to Chi Shuo. With the shield, Chi Shuo could 1v2. Moreover, not only did the Saint Necromancer have a shield, his Q skill could also reduce the opponent's speed.
Ye Shaoyang played the Saint Necromancer like a tank, blocking the front and frequently harassing the opponent's positioning.
He swayed back and forth in front of the opponent, constantly using his Q skill to reduce the opponent's speed …
Mitchell could not take it anymore. "Kill this Saint Necromancer!"
The four of them ganged up on Ye Shaoyang and quickly killed him.
However, Chi Shuo punished them in time and took down the red buff. At the same time, he went to the middle lane and ate a wave of minions.
Mitchell's strategy of disrupting the opponent's jungler was a complete failure.
He opened the game interface and realized that Chi Shuo had unknowingly led FNO's jungler, Kevin, by a full 1500 points. He was almost one damage output equipment ahead.
Although Tianheng's results had declined in recent years, as a jungler who had once won the S6 Singles Championship, this captain's ability was definitely not to be underestimated!
Mitchell immediately changed his strategy. "Kill the bottom lane, quickly push the outer tower!"
While Ye Shaoyang was on his way home, the four of them immediately grouped up and went to the bottom lane.
Mitchell's Terminator Sorcerer was on par with Zhou Jiawen in terms of ability, and his skill hit rate was shockingly high. With his super long-range ultimate move, even a world-class archer might not be able to escape, let alone Cheng Xing.
After Cheng Xing was beaten back home, the four of them grouped up and forcefully pushed. The outer tower in the bottom lane was quickly pushed down, and then they turned to the middle lane.
FNO's group push was very good this time, and they quickly regained the rhythm of the game. On the other hand, FNO's blood-sucking lineup was the strongest in the group battle.
Just now, they had been fighting around the bottom lane, and the archers from both sides had been killed several times.
In this push, the "orphan top laner" from both sides joined the group battle.
Once the group battle began, the support and top laners from both sides attacked at the same time!
Qujiang jumped over to stun, and Qin Yizhu followed up with Black Dragon's Roar. The two players had indeed played together for three years, and their teamwork was very high. They almost had a seamless chain of control.
However, FNO's positioning was very careful this time, and they did not manage to control the opposing backrow.
Mitchell continued to throw a big move at Cheng Xing who was in the back row. However, Cheng Xing had been killed by him twice in a row, so it was time for him to learn to be smart. The moment the black fog appeared, he immediately jumped over the wall and hid in the bushes, narrowly avoiding this big move!
The opposing archer, Angus, was also carefully hiding under the tower, and rapidly shot a row of blood arrows.
Suddenly, a golden ray of light descended from the sky —
Ye Shaoyang appeared out of nowhere, and immediately sealed him under the tower with [Holy Spirit Seal].
Angus, who was sealed once again, wanted to cry.
Chi Shuo had been hiding nearby, and the moment Ye Shaoyang attacked, he quickly teleported over. Equipped with the most luxurious [King of Fighters], he killed a squishy with two punches.
Angus, who was killed by two punches: "T _ T"
Cheng Xing, who was hiding in the bushes, was delighted when he saw that the opposing archer was killed. He hurriedly threw a cannon at the opposing team. With a boom, the cannon exploded, and the opposing team was left with low HP.
However, the [Vampire Duke], who had found his position, teleported over and killed him with two consecutive slashes.
Cheng Xing: "…"
Today's match could be made into a video compilation: "100 Ways to Die for an Archer."
The match lasted for 35 minutes, and both sides were in a tug-of-war.
Cheng Xing was killed five times, and FNO's archer, Angus, was also killed six times by Nakano.
The two youngsters were on the verge of collapse, and this was the first time they felt the fear of being dominated by a world-class player!
After the two sides finished pushing the outer tower and the inner tower, they began to defend the high ground.
At this time, the importance of the support from both sides became apparent. After all, Qujiang had been playing for three years, and was much more experienced than FNO's new support, Allen. He, Chi Shuo, and Ye Shaoyang spread out their vision.
Tianheng, who was in the dragon team, had the advantage in vision.
Both sides started to fight the dragon, but after a while, they were distracted by each other, and the fight lasted for a minute. If the dragon could speak, it would be very impatient: "Are you guys going to fight or not?"
During the third dragon fight, Ye Shaoyang found an opportunity. He suddenly teleported to the bushes above the dragon pit, and with a big move, sealed the opposing archer, Angus!
Chi Shuo immediately followed Ye Shaoyang's rhythm and killed Angus in one burst.
Mitchell frowned and used his big move, wanting to kill Chi Shuo to turn the situation around …
However, Chi Shuo had Ye Shaoyang's personal protection.
He had a shiny golden shield on him, and it directly healed him by 3,000 HP.
With a shield and luxurious equipment, Chi Shuo could do whatever he wanted in the canyon. He even took Mitchell's damage head-on, took Mitchell's big move, and closed in on him to beat him to death.
Mitchell was speechless.
Two against one, you guys are too much!
Chi Shuo successfully killed the dragon.
FNO held the high ground for 10 minutes, and the game finally ended at 40 minutes. They tried their best, but they still couldn't turn the situation around.
Unlike the previous game, where they couldn't react in time, both sides went back and forth in this game. The final kill count was 1816, and the difference wasn't that big. However, the crucial team battle was won by the opposing mid laner. He teleported to the bushes above the dragon pit to seal the archer. This person's awareness was too scary!
Mitchell's hands left the keyboard, and he looked at the big screen seriously.
Beside him, the curly-haired Angus' eyes were red and filled with tears.
Coach Tom held his forehead helplessly.
[Where did this demon come from? How dare he beat our newbie shooter to tears!]
Allan comforted him softly. "It's okay, it's just a training match. Don't be sad."
Angus choked and said, "I was killed seven times …"
He sounded very aggrieved.
Coach Tom coughed lightly, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder. "Next season hasn't started yet. It's good to let you experience the cruelty of the competition in advance."
Angus: "… That's too cruel."
Mitchell took a deep breath and concluded. "Tianheng isn't a wild core team, it's a mid and wild core team. In the first game, the jungler starts with a blue buff, and the mid laner sets the pace. In the second game, the mid laner protects the jungler, and the two of them work together to catch people, and let the jungler set the pace. Their team has two world-class players! "
Tom gasped. "How is that possible? Didn't Tianheng get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs? "
Mitchell said, "That's S9."
Everyone was puzzled. "It's also S9 now. The World Series starts in December."
Mitchell shrugged and pretended to be relaxed. "For teams that make it to the World Series, the season ends in December. But for Tianheng, for us … S9 ended a long time ago. "
Everyone reacted quickly.
Yes, for teams that didn't make it to the World Series, S9 was already over.
It was now the preparation period for S10!
Therefore, the Tianheng they met today was no longer the Tianheng that got eliminated in the first round of the S9 playoffs — it was the Tianheng that was quietly changing.
Coach Tom took a deep breath and said confidently, "Tianheng definitely changed their mid laner! We should be the first to know. Today's training match made me feel like I was dreaming of S6. The mid and wild team has appeared again! "
Tianheng's jungler was already very strong. If they added a world-class mid laner, then the next season's Tianheng Squad would be unimaginably scary.
Tom sighed. "Through the training match, I think everyone has realized that the weakness of both our teams is the bottom lane. So, the next time we meet Tianheng, we can't play like this. "
Kriman said seriously, "The next time we meet? Coach, do you still want to arrange a training match with them? "
Tom chuckled and wagged his finger. "No, no, not a training match."
He looked out the window and said thoughtfully, "The next time we meet, it should be the World Series."
It was late autumn in North America, and yellow leaves had fallen all over the ground.
At 1 am, the wind would blow the fallen leaves and make a rustling sound.
Next spring, the trees would sprout again, and S10 would officially start …
The reborn Tianheng would make it to the World Series, right?
Would they meet their old rivals again in the World Series?
When that time came, they couldn't be defeated by 02 again!
Tom exhaled softly and turned to look at the young man with red eyes. "Angus, stop crying! From tomorrow onwards, we'll train for two hours every day. Let Mitchell and Kevin catch you together. Let's see how many times you die in a day. "
Angus was speechless.
He wanted to cry even more!
Could he apply to not play as a marksman?
Why was there a need for a marksman in a 5v5 game?
Caught by the jungler daddy, killed by the mid laner daddy, cut by the top laner daddy, controlled by the support daddy …
Could this game still be played?
