However, what Coach FRY did not know was that this scene was perfectly captured by the camera and broadcasted to all the audience around the world.
On the domestic live-streaming platform, the bullet screen was instantly filled with comments.
"What is that piece of paper in Coach FRY's hand?"
"I saw it! It seems to be the lineup that FV Team chose from the top eight! "
"Are you serious? Then why did he crumple up the paper and throw it away? "
"They should have given up, hahahaha. I went to check on FV Team's lineup just now. They have played a total of seven small rounds from the top eight until now. They have chosen 26 different heroes. Almost every round has a different gameplay. What kind of analysis is this!"
"Let's mourn for FRY's coach. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with him even if he were to go bald, right?"
"Don't be arrogant, don't be arrogant. Let's see how FRY plans to play in the next round!"
…
As Zhao Xuming and Pei Qian were feeling nervous, the second round of the competition began.
This time, FRY Team deliberately chose the red side and gave FV Team the right to choose first. Obviously, it was because they had suffered a huge loss in tactics previously. This time, they hoped to wait and see and let FRY Team choose their lineup before targeting it. At the very least, they could ensure that the lineup would not split as soon as it was chosen.
Both sides still had to ban the other's ultimate heroes. However, although the principle of banning was the same, the effect was different.
After FV banned FRY Team's ultimate hero, they felt that it was a huge weakening of FRY Team. On the other hand, FRY Team's ban of what they thought was "FV Team's ultimate hero" did not seem to cause any trouble to FV Team.
That was very unbearable.
Old Zhou had already directed the team members to lock onto a hero who was once a must-have choice for banning just as FRY team finished banning the last person: Chaos Misfortune!
In an instant, he locked it down, showing off his imposing manner.
This hero was a hot favorite in the group stage. As long as they got it, they would basically win. Overall, it was a relatively weak hero in the early stages, but once it developed, it was very unbeatable in team fights.
However, FV Team released this hero when they fought against CEM in the top eight. Then, they used the unpopular Level Two Jungler to kill it directly across the tower. This hero seemed to have walked down the altar.
After that match, the other teams were also inspired and knew how to fight Chaos Misfortune. Once everyone knew how to target him, this Hero would not be so scary.
FRY's coach was shocked at first, but then he revealed a joyful expression. "That's great!"
This choice of Chaos Misfortune was indeed out of Coach FRY's expectations. That was because FV Team preferred to release this hero for the other party to choose and then target it themselves. They rarely snatched it themselves.
Coach FRY took a closer look. Even though FV had chosen Chaos Misfortune, none of the strong early jungle heroes that were easier to target Chaos Misfortune were banned!
Wasn't that equivalent to giving it to him for free?
He immediately asked his team members to choose the unpopular jungle hero combination that FV had chosen to play CEM's Chaos Misfortune previously.
If there was a standard answer, why not copy it?
Coach FRY guessed that the reason why FV Team did not ban these two heroes might be because they wanted to ban their own unique skills. On the other hand, it was also because of blind confidence.
Once Chaos Misfortune was crossed by a second or third level tower, it would definitely explode. However, since this lineup was developed by FV Team, they would definitely get the jungler to protect Chaos Misfortune's development.
FV Team did not ban this pair of jungling heroes, perhaps because of all the considerations and the lack of ban spots.
However, the reason why Coach FRY was so confident was because they had specially practiced this playstyle!
The Balancer of Finger Games believed that Chaos Misfortune was still T0's choice in terms of data. Thus, FRY Team had focused on training around this hero.
Even if the opponent's jungler went to protect Chaos Misfortune, FRY Team had other ways to deal with it so that Chaos Misfortune could not develop.
This wave was one level higher than FV Team in terms of tactics!
The BP of both sides continued. FV Team did not seem to care too much about FRY's lineup. Instead, they still chose a team battle system that revolved around Chaos Misfortune.
On the other hand, FRY Team had also chosen the lineup they wanted.
They did not completely copy FV Team's strategy. Instead, they made some slight adjustments. However, the tactical playstyle was the same: a strong jungle and a mid-laner who was good at support would directly cripple Chaos Misfortune in the early stages.
If FV Team's jungler did not protect Chaos Misfortune, then Chaos Misfortune would die endlessly under the tower. If the jungler protected it, then the jungle would be invaded and compressed. FRY only needed to find a wave of rhythm to break the deadlock when FV's jungler was not well-developed. It would still be very difficult for Chaos Misfortune to develop.
The official commentator had learned his lesson this time. They did not say anything definite even though they were still completely optimistic about FRY's lineup.
"FRY chose a standard lineup to target Chaos Misfortune. They almost wrote 'Chaos Misfortune must die' on their faces. On the other hand, FV Team did not make much of a response to the lineup despite knowing the other party's intentions. Is this blind confidence? "
"The tactics that FRY Team is currently using were first taken out by FV Team. However, it is obvious that FRY Team has already integrated their own understanding into this set of tactics. Is the master educating his disciple, or is the disciple defeating the master? Let's wait and see! "
…
At the same time, in Jingzhou.
Pei Qian looked at the lineup of both sides and felt like he had seen this scene before.
Wasn't this similar to the top eight?
He still remembered the time when Chaos Misfortune was crazily trained by FV Team and died from the beginning to the end.
However, FV Team was the one who took Chaos Misfortune this time.
Pei Qian vaguely felt that there must be something wrong with this abnormality. However, he could not guess what FV Team was planning at the moment. He could only continue watching patiently.
The answer was soon revealed.
FV Team's bottom lane duo rushed to the top lane as soon as the competition began!
Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene. He instantly felt that something was amiss.
No wonder FV did not restrict the other party's top laner heroes when choosing their lineup. That was because they had already thought of changing lines. It did not matter what hero the other party's top laner was!
One had to know that both IOI and GOG did not have a protection mechanism for changing lines at the moment. In other words, the initial attributes of the three outer towers were completely the same. There would not be a setting of "the first two towers would reduce damage in the first xx minutes".
Thus, it was not rare to change lines in the competition. Many teams did not trust the ability of players in a certain line, so they would let the team change lines to avoid the pressure of the line.
Chaos Misfortune should have gone to the bottom lane to resist the pressure alone if they followed the normal line change. In that case, it would not be able to take care of itself because of FRY's bottom lane duo. It would not be able to develop at all.
However, FV Team was obviously not changing lines normally. Chaos Misfortune did not go to the bottom lane at all. Instead, it followed the jungler and headed straight for the other party's upper half of the jungle. The bottom lane duo and the middle lane also followed. In an instant, five people hugged each other!
FRY Team's jungler was shocked and quickly fled with his head in his hands.
Fortunately, he ran fast. Otherwise, this game would have been difficult if he died in one hit.
However, he did not panic too much and quickly calmed down. He had seen many tricks from first-level teams after all. Since the other party had invaded his upper half of the jungle so openly, he would go and farm his and the other party's lower half.
He would not lose out too much if he swapped the jungle.
The invasion of a first-level team like FV had indeed bought Chaos Misfortune a certain amount of time to develop, causing FRY's idea of crossing the tower at level 2 to fail. However, the price was that the development of their own two-man lane was severely damaged.
The bottom lane duo on FV's side would definitely lose out less experience if they returned to the bottom lane after returning to the city after playing the first-level team. The bottom lane would probably have to hide in the tower for the rest of their lives.
FRY Team would not lose out at all if the script really developed like this. They could pick up a huge advantage at the bottom lane for free. Then, they could find an opportunity to go to the top lane to train Chaos Misfortune after they finished farming the lower half of the jungle.
…
The official commentator obviously understood it the same way. They were all saying that FV Team's first-level team needed to be considered.
It might have guaranteed Chaos Misfortune's development to a certain extent, but the bottom lane duo had lost too much and could not match the line.
However, FV Team's actions exceeded everyone's expectations. After invading the jungle, the bottom lane duo had no intention of returning to the bottom lane. Instead, they went straight to the top lane!
The archer pointed at FRY Team's top single point, causing him to be in a mess.
What was going on?
Shouldn't the top lane be two brothers wrestling with each other? Why did someone with such long arms suddenly bully me? And he even brought a bodyguard?
FRY's top-laner was very depressed, but he had played quite a number of games after all. Thus, he quickly stabilized his mentality.
As long as he ate some experience under the tower and used some skills to make up for a few tower blades, he would still be able to survive.
However, FV's jungler and Chaos Misfortune had already arrived behind him just as the first wave of minions entered the tower.
He was already surrounded by four burly men before he could even level up twice!
Obviously, FV had no intention of letting Chaos Misfortune go to the bottom lane to resist the pressure. They might as well stay in the jungle with the jungler!
FRY Team's top-laner was still first-level. The jungler had gone to farm the lower half of the zone again. It was simply impossible to call for help. He was killed after resisting symbolically under the tower.
After that, the jungler and Chaos Misfortune once again plunged into FRY Team's jungle to develop. FV Team's bottom lane began to push the defense tower crazily.
The official commentators were all shocked.
"FV Team … gave up on the bottom lane directly? They don't want the bottom lane anymore? "
"FRY Team's bottom lane is already pushing the tower. It's obviously faster than FV Team's push up the tower."
"After all, FV Team has delayed a certain amount of time by forcefully killing the other party's top-laner."
"In that case … FRY Team's bottom lane is very comfortable. It's a state of development without any pressure, and they don't have to worry about anyone coming to catch them. FRY Team's jungler can switch to the other party's jungle after clearing their own bottom half of the jungle. It's not a loss at all."
"Who's at a disadvantage then?"
"FRY's top-laner is the most at a disadvantage. He died once and has nowhere to go now! He doesn't dare to go to the top lane, so he can only follow his jungler or the bottom lane. "
"FRY Team can accept it if both sides explode."
"No, FRY can't accept it because FV is obviously going to raise Chaos Misfortune!"
FV's bottom lane was pushing the tower crazily. After the jungler and Chaos Misfortune finished eating the jungle, the jungler went back to farm his own top half. However, Chaos Misfortune did not follow him. Instead, he arrived in front of FRY's top lane tower, which was already low on HP.
FV Team's bottom lane hit the tower to a sliver of HP and immediately went home, leaving Chaos Misfortune alone on the top lane. He silently waited for the tower to eat up all the soldiers on his side before unhurriedly destroying the defense tower and returning to the city.
All the tower money was given to Chaos Misfortune alone!
FV's bottom lane duo immediately rushed to the middle lane after replenishing their equipment, while the jungler and mid-laner entered the lower half of the jungle to give pressure. Chaos Misfortune comfortably arrived in front of the second tower at the bottom lane and steadily caught a large wave of soldiers.
FRY Team's bottom lane duo was still in full condition after pushing down the defense tower. However, it was a little too ridiculous to charge at the other party's second tower in less than a few minutes. What's more, they also had to produce equipment, so they quickly pushed down the defense tower and immediately returned to the city.
However, this wave of minions was not completely cleared. In the end, Chaos Misfortune still benefited.
On the other hand, the tower on FRY's top lane had fallen, but the defense tower had eaten up all the small soldiers before it was destroyed. Thus, the minions still converged at the river.
The top-laner did not dare to go over at all because there was no defense tower anymore. A stunted top-laner going to eat the line was like a walking ATM.
FRY Team was stunned. There was nowhere for their top-laner to go!
He did not dare to go to the top lane without a tower; the bottom lane's minions were controlled under FV's second tower and he could not eat them; he could not possibly let him eat the minions in the middle lane, right?
What was the mid-laner and bottom lane supposed to play?
The number of people on both sides was 1: 0. Only FRY's top-laner had died once, and the economic difference was not pulled apart at all.
However, the situation had already taken a sharp turn for the worse. FRY's tactical arrangements had been completely destroyed. They could not play anymore!
…
The bullet screen comments in the domestic live-stream were already exploding.
"This is the Seven Injuring Fist? Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred? "
"I've seen changing lanes before, but I've never seen such a change before! Are they just going to leave the bottom lane empty? "
"However, from the looks of it, FV is making a killing! Chaos Misfortune has developed! "
"FRY chose the top lane with an advantage in the early stages. They wanted to train Chaos Misfortune, but they did not expect their own top laner to be the one being trained instead! The heroes in the early stages collapsed and could not develop. What's the difference between this and an ordinary soldier? "
"I've already imagined FV's psychological activities: Brother, I'm waiting for Chaos Misfortune to come out of the mountain. What are you waiting for?"
"I'm dying of laughter. FRY has been suppressed by their intelligence again! How are they going to play the team if they continue playing like this? Chaos Misfortune has eaten tower money and such a large wave of soldiers. He has completely overtaken the opponent's top-laner. If he becomes fat, he will definitely be able to fight one against five! "
At this point, even the audience could tell that FRY was going to suffer.
This lineup was originally an early-stage lineup. They wanted to catch Chaos Misfortune. In the end, they did not manage to catch him, and their own top-laner collapsed!
The development of the other four people might not be affected at all, but FRY's lineup was not a team battle lineup to begin with. What's more, if the top-laner was not well-developed, they would lack the front row. They would definitely shatter the moment they fought.
How were they going to play?
FRY's team members had solemn expressions on their faces. They were starting to doubt their lives.
They were even deeply confused: Was this still the IOI that they had been playing?
Why did it feel like a different game?
They suddenly did not understand!
This feeling was like thinking that they were playing Go. They were playing well, but the other party suddenly connected the five pieces into a line and the other party won!
