After Tianhuan won the first game, netizens finally understood why Huowen had inexplicably banned [Spirit Realm Snowbird] against Tianhuan the previous week.
[No wonder Huowen banned the flying jungler against Tianhuan. So they were guarding against this move?]
[The Sun-Moon Dual Flight combo is truly terrifying. Flying to the inner tower to kill people—it's incredibly aggressive!]
[Tianhuan must have practiced Dual Flight privately, and Huowen found out, right?]
[They definitely used it during scrims or ranked matches. Huowen knew about it and banned the Snowbird during the match. Binghun probably didn't know, so they didn't ban it?]
The smurf accounts "Sunshine" and "Moonlight" were only known within the international pro player group chat; netizens were unaware of them. Xiao Wei also found it strange. He scratched his head and said, "Maybe Xiao Bai and Captain Chi practiced Dual Flight privately and just happened to be spotted by Captain Zhou? I'll ask around later."
Highlights of the previous game appeared on the arena's big screen. Xiao Wei analyzed, "Tianhuan's BP (Ban/Pick) in the first game was excellent. They were on the Red side and left all of Captain Chen's supports open. Binghun's first pick was guaranteed to be a support, and then Tianhuan could directly secure the Dual Flight combo. Since Binghun had already picked a support, they couldn't pick another one. They could only choose a jungler and mid laner to counter the Dual Flight. This allowed Tianhuan to grab the CC-immunity support [Blessing of Light] to escort the flight combo. You could say that from the BP phase, Tianhuan had already calculated their opponent's moves."
The battle of BP is crucial in matches. The Tianhuan coaching staff had studied Binghun's Spirit Rabbit system for a long time.
While Binghun's BP in the first game neutralized the threat of Chi Shuo's invisible assassin, their preparation against the Dual Flight combo was clearly insufficient.
Xiao Wei said, "In the second game, Binghun is on the Red side. They can break up the Dual Flight. It depends on how they choose."
The break time passed quickly, and the second game officially began.
Tianhuan was on the Blue side, with first ban priority. Coach Lin still didn't ban any supports, instead banning two artillery mages, [World-Ending Mage] and [Kraken of the North]. Sure enough, Binghun sent both [Spirit Realm Snowbird] and [Stealth Rogue]—two junglers—to the ban list.
Xiao Wei laughed. "As expected, they didn't dare let the Dual Flight out again. What will Tianhuan pick first?"
A familiar avatar appeared in Tianhuan's selection box.
The on-site commentator couldn't help but raise his volume: "Bounty Warlock!"
"Having too much money is also a form of distress."
As the hero avatar appeared, the Bounty Warlock's familiar voice line played in the arena, causing an uproar among the audience.
At this moment, inside the hotel room, Xie Yuan from Team Jingzhe couldn't help but say, "No way? Are they going to copy Jingzhe's Bounty Warlock system?"
Coach Chen rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Not necessarily. When they used Huowen's positional warfare system before, they didn't copy it directly; they learned and improved upon it. Perhaps our system has also been modified by Tianhuan?"
Learning and improving—this was a common mindset for master tacticians. Many lineup strategies in the professional league were developed by learning from other teams and adapting them to one's own style.
Even the Poison Team strategy that Jingzhe developed years ago was inspired by a Japanese team.
Coach Chen's doubt was: "However, we only used our Bounty Warlock system two weeks ago. Could Tianhuan have researched a routine suitable for their team so quickly?"
Everyone exchanged glances and looked at the big screen in unison, wanting to see exactly how Tianhuan had modified it.
Binghun's coach froze for a moment after seeing the [Bounty Warlock] pick. He fell into deep thought, and it took a long time before he brought out a combo: [Wind Elf] marksman + [Vampire Duke] top laner.
This marksman had relatively strong survivability, helping to avoid being crushed in the early game.
Tianhuan's 2nd and 3rd picks followed immediately.
Mid Laner: [Abyssal Lord]
Jungler: [Ninja]
As soon as these two heroes came out, excited screams erupted from the venue: "Abyssal Lord!"
"Lieyang has finally brought out the Abyssal Lord again!" The two commentators also got excited.
"Since his Pentakill with the Abyssal Lord this season, it's been constantly banned. Later, in the first stage, even when it wasn't banned, he rarely picked it. Taking it out today—is he planning to carry the rhythm early game and play a Mid-Core lineup?"
"The Abyssal Lord's roaming and reaping abilities are very strong. Let's look forward to Lieyang's performance with the Abyssal Lord once again!"
The commentators were so excited their voices went up an octave.
After thinking for a moment, Binghun's 3rd pick took [Frost Goddess] for mid lane. A utility mage who could attack or defend, provide crowd control in team fights, and give herself a frost shield.
In the second phase of bans, Binghun began targeting marksmen, banning Machine Gun Hunter and Holy Archer to compress Cheng Xing's hero pool. Tianhuan continued to leave supports open, banning two more junglers.
Binghun's 4th pick selected the jungler [Fighter], going for a utility route.
Tianhuan's 4th and 5th picks selected the marksman [Blood Kin Princess] and top laner [Dark Angel], both having some self-protection capabilities.
Xiao Wei puzzled, "Tianhuan's lineup is a bit squishy overall! The support [Bounty Warlock] is naturally fragile, and the top laner [Dark Angel] is a magic tank who can't tank much damage in team fights before getting items. The mid, jungle, and marksman are all squishy too. In a team fight, lacking front-line tankiness makes it easy to collapse."
"Binghun has one last Counter pick left. Let's see what Captain Chen selects."
Chen Qianhua had an extremely deep hero pool, saving the support pick for last.
This way, they could wait for Tianhuan's lineup to be confirmed before choosing a specific counter support.
Binghun's 5th pick brought out the support [Frost Emperor].
The moment this support appeared, the crowd screamed again—one of Chen Qianhua's signature heroes, a pure control-type support who once froze all five opponents with a single ultimate, allowing his teammates to wipe them out!
The two commentators sounded even more thrilled: "Binghun has taken the control-heavy Frost Team for their last pick!"
"The support [Frost Emperor] can place a frost cage to trap and freeze enemies, and the mid laner [Frost Goddess]'s W skill can also freeze opponents. This is the Twin Frost System. With seamless chain control, one team fight can crush the opponent!"
The Frost Goddess + Frost Emperor "Twin Frost System" was a team-control lineup that heavily tested teammate synergy.
The strength of this lineup lay in 5v5 team fights. They could control the opponents so hard they couldn't move. As long as the support's control landed well and the mid laner followed up in time, the top, jungle, and marksman could coordinate damage to delete enemies in a very short time.
"Comparing the lineups, one side favors the early game, and the other favors the late game. The odds are 50-50. If Tianhuan can't control the rhythm early and lets Binghun farm up, it will be very hard to beat all that crowd control in late-game team fights!"
"That's right, but the Ninja and Abyssal Lord are both very mobile heroes. If Tianhuan establishes enough of a lead before Binghun groups up, it will be difficult for Binghun to break through!"
"Let's enter the second match between Tianhuan and Binghun!"
Xiao Wei muted the official commentary and teased, "Seeing the opponent bring out the Twin Frost System, the cowardly Xiao Xing (Cheng Xing) has quickly switched his summoner spell to [Purify]. Our Xiao Bai is still hard-headed though; he's still taking Flash."
A row of bullet comments appeared in the stream:
[He's always been hard-headed, right!]
[The most stubborn Omega player in the world?]
[Others take Flash to escape; he takes Flash to kill!]
[Yangyang is definitely thinking: Twin Ice? Before you freeze me, I'll kill you first.]
[When have you ever seen him play an assassin mage without Flash?]
With so many control skills on the opposing team, Ye Shaoyang still daring to take Flash was indeed "hard-headed" enough.
Wasn't he afraid of being controlled? Or was he confident he could dodge the CC with his positioning?
Coach Chen of Team Jingzhe felt complicated watching this. Tianhuan's [Bounty Warlock] system was completely different from Jingzhe's Three Warlock lineup—they were actually pairing [Bounty Warlock] with [Abyssal Lord] and [Ninja]!
Xie Yuan praised, "This modification actually fits Tianhuan's style better, doesn't it? Tianhuan relies on Mid-Jungle rhythm, while Jingzhe protects the dual carries. The core is different."
Fang Zhengqing nodded. "Yeah, changing it like this does suit them better. Let's see the practical effect."
The game loaded.
After Qu Jiang placed protective wards in the bot lane, he left Cheng Xing alone to farm. He went to the mid lane to clear minions with Ye Shaoyang. After clearing the wave, the two went into the jungle to help Chi Shuo farm.
Supports buy a gem at the start. The effect of this item is "does not share experience and gold with nearby teammates." Even if he followed Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang as a trio, he wouldn't leech their experience.
The first Blue Buff was given directly by Chi Shuo to Ye Shaoyang.
The efficiency of the three-man farming squad was extremely fast. Every few seconds, golden light effects indicating bonus gold appeared on Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang.
Seeing this, the on-site commentator couldn't help but say, "Farming as a trio maximizes the [Bounty Warlock]'s utility. He can increase gold for nearby teammates, so both the Mid and Jungle enjoy the gold bonus!"
"Also, the three clear the jungle very quickly. The first Blue was given to the Mid Laner. Shuoyue saved Smite and came to mid to secure the first river crab!"
"Shuoyue went to the bottom jungle, and the support continued to clear waves with the Mid Laner."
"Is this a Mid-Support strategy to seize lane priority and roam quickly?"
Lane priority meant the right to handle the minion wave first.
Especially for the mid lane position—whoever cleared the wave first could leave first to support other lanes.
Ye Shaoyang and Qu Jiang cleared minions together, handling the wave at maximum speed.
When they finished killing a wave, the opposing Frost Goddess still had 3 minions left to kill.
This allowed Tianhuan to seize the tempo, letting the Mid and Support go do things in other lanes.
Binghun's mid laner said with a headache, "Mid MIA (Missing in Action)."
Chen Qianhua immediately said, "Retreat."
Sure enough, Ye Shaoyang and Qu Jiang arrived at the bot lane together.
Neither was level 6, so they couldn't kill anyone; they just showed their faces to apply psychological pressure.
Although Binghun's bot lane was 2v1, because Tianhuan's mid lane always prioritized clearing the wave and could support at any time, Binghun didn't dare be too aggressive, fearing a flank.
Before level 6, the Frost Goddess cleared waves slowly. Ye Shaoyang and Qu Jiang clearing together was naturally much faster. After clearing, they went bot. Showing up in the bot lane for two consecutive waves forced Binghun's marksman to squat under his tower, afraid to peek out and get ganked.
Binghun's jungler was level 5 and a half. Chi Shuo, having given up the first Blue Buff but securing the first crab, was currently level 5.
However, the Mid Laner, Ye Shaoyang, was actually level 6!
Seeing the level-up light on the [Abyssal Lord], the two commentators looked at each other in disbelief.
"The jungler isn't level 6, but the mid laner hit 6 first?"
"Tianhuan's resource distribution this game is a bit strange!"
"The first Blue went to Mid. Half the experience from the top jungle went to Mid. Every time Lieyang supports bot, it's when there's a minion wave—he looks like he's supporting, but he's actually leeching experience, right?"
"Exactly. He leeched half the jungle XP and two waves of bot lane minions. Tianhuan's mid laner is the first in the game to hit level 6, even faster than the enemy jungler!"
"This is Tianhuan's brand new economy distribution model. A super early game, focused on the Mid Laner carrying the rhythm!"
Seeing the level-up light on Ye Shaoyang, Binghun's mid laner immediately pinged a warning: "Mid level 6!"
Chen Qianhua frowned slightly.
Tianhuan's jungler and marksman had each yielded some economy to the mid lane, allowing the mid laner to reach level 6 first. Coupled with Ye Shaoyang constantly controlling mid lane priority, they had to be very careful of this roaming gank.
A level 6 Abyssal Lord had the ability to dive towers for kills.
Chen Qianhua glanced at the map vision and immediately said, "He's coming bot. Retreat."
Ye Shaoyang and the support had visited the bot lane twice in a row just now. Chen Qianhua had placed excellent vision in the bottom jungle; a ward in the river bush spotted Ye Shaoyang squatting in the grass.
Binghun's bot lane quickly cleared the wave and recalled directly.
Just then, in the top lane, Old Qin suddenly used a W skill lock, rooting the opposing top laner [Vampire Duke] in place!
The Vampire Duke paused. Immediately after, three dark shadows sprang from the grass instantly, stacking black Abyssal Marks on him at extreme speed!
—Fuck! Wasn't he in the bot lane?
Binghun's top laner was instantly beaten to critical health and hurriedly Flashed to escape.
But Qu Jiang flanked from the lower bush, blocking him with a Gold Wall. The [Abyssal Lord]'s shadow followed closely, using a Q skill to claim the enemy top laner's head.
—First blood!
This gank caught Binghun completely off guard.
Xiao Wei couldn't help praising, "Xiao Bai played that smartly! Just now, the Abyssal Lord deliberately showed vision in the bot river to mislead the opponent. But don't forget, the Abyssal Lord can swap places with his shadow. His shadow went top; after showing his face, he swapped positions to head top, coordinated with his teammate to gank, and directly killed the Vampire Duke!"
As an experienced mid laner, Ye Shaoyang was incredibly skilled at misdirection and fake vision.
You think he went bot? He suddenly appears top.
Playing mid lane wasn't just about mechanical skill; it was about psychological warfare against the opponent.
This fake-bot-actually-top support move maximized the advantage of the Abyssal Lord hitting level 6 first! Not only did they kill the enemy top laner, but they also stole the top river crab and chipped away 20% of the top tower's health.
Binghun's jungler also hit level 6 at this time and rushed to support bot. It was 3v1 against Tianhuan's bot lane, putting Cheng Xing in danger. But Cheng Xing had cleared the wave and recalled immediately, giving them no chance to gank him.
Chen Qianhua said, "Take the Small Dragon!"
Ye Shaoyang, Qu Jiang, and Old Qin were all top; they couldn't support the dragon in time.
Binghun's trio took down the Small Dragon at top speed, salvaging the situation slightly.
However, Chi Shuo wasn't idle either. While Shaoyang went top, he had stayed near the bot lane, secretly observing Binghun's movements. When the opponents finished the dragon and wanted to retreat, Chi Shuo hit level 6.
The [Ninja] could turn invisible for a short time, hiding his position from the enemy.
Chi Shuo camped on the enemy's retreat path. Shadow Escape, Shadow Clone, flank attack, backstab burst—
Binghun's marksman didn't have time to react before being taken out by Chi Shuo's combo!
Chen Qianhua opened the match panel to check the economy.
Because Binghun took the Small Dragon in time, the team economy was only behind by 800, which wasn't a huge gap.
However, in individual economy, Ye Shaoyang had 400 gold more than Binghun's mid, and Chi Shuo had 100 gold more than their jungler. The other positions were basically even.
In other words, Tianhuan's two fattest points were still the Mid and Jungle.
If the point known as Lieyang wasn't dealt with, forget about not surviving the early game—he would be a massive boss in the late game too.
Chen Qianhua said calmly, "Don't rush. Everyone clear waves first, be careful not to step out of the tower. Wait for the marksman to build items suitable for team fights, then we'll group mid for a fight. Kill Lieyang first; we can't let him continue to farm."
Binghun began to stall the game.
Chen Qianhua's macro awareness was indeed excellent. He watched all four lanes and listened to everything, controlling vision in the bot lane tightly. Before Ye Shaoyang could gank bot, he would protect the marksman and retreat, leaving no opportunities there.
Top lane, after dying once, the Binghun top laner learned to play cowardly, hiding under the tower and refusing to come out.
Once the mid laner went MIA, he would even hide near the inner tower.
Ye Shaoyang roamed top twice without finding an opportunity, but the benefit was that the enemy top laner kept retreating, allowing the defense tower to be whittled down to a sliver of health.
Ye Shaoyang said, "Old Qin, tank the tower. Let's pull it down."
There were no minions top. Qin Yizhu tanked the tower damage while Ye Shaoyang auto-attacked from a distance, destroying the tower. The three then invaded the enemy jungle to strip resources.
This game was driven by the mid laner's rhythm, so Ye Shaoyang took over command.
Chi Shuo had been burying his head in farming during this time. Gradually, the gap between his economy and the enemy jungler's grew wider, as he had completely controlled the mid-lane river crabs—the enemy jungler hadn't snatched a single one.
Binghun took the first Small Dragon. Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang defended the subsequent dragons together. Binghun didn't want to rashly start a team fight, so they left it there, and neither side moved on it.
The match reached 12 minutes, still in the early game phase.
Binghun had lost a top tower, but their mid and bot towers were still at full health.
But Ye Shaoyang constantly seized mid priority, roaming back and forth to leech experience. Combined with Qu Jiang, the "gold-boosting support," following him constantly, his equipment was already one major item ahead of the enemy mid laner!
The [Abyssal Lord] had completed the Explosive Wand.
This was one of the [Abyssal Lord]'s core items. When marks detonated, it dealt a burst of AOE magic crit damage, creating a qualitative leap in the output of the Abyssal Lord's marks!
Ye Shaoyang said decisively, "Old Qin split push top, everyone else group bot to brute force the tower!"
Binghun's marksman's economy wasn't bad compared to Xiao Xing's, but it was far behind Ye Shaoyang's. The [Wind Elf]'s key attack speed item was still 300 gold away from completion.
They were seizing this exact window before the item was finished!
Using the advantage of the fallen top outer tower, Old Qin quickly pushed the minion wave near the inner tower, pinning down the enemy top laner and forcing him to defend, making him unable to join the team fight.
Tianhuan's other four members quickly assembled in the bot lane.
Binghun's top tower was gone. If the bot tower fell too, they would be completely passive and struggle to drag the game to the late stage.
Chen Qianhua said decisively, "Defend the bot tower!"
The mid laner arrived quickly, activating his Blizzard ultimate directly under the tower.
The [Frost Goddess]'s large-area blizzard cleared minions very fast. One ultimate reduced the bot lane wave to a sliver of health, and the [Wind Elf] rapid-fired to finish them off.
But just because you cleared the minions, did that mean Tianhuan wouldn't dare to go in?
Tianhuan was hard-headed!
Especially Ye Shaoyang. Tower diving for a forced kill? That was just basic operations for an assassin mage.
Ye Shaoyang pinged an attack signal: "I'm going in!"
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly Flashed from a super long distance, carrying three shadows, swapping with them, and stacking 7 layers of marks on the enemy backline with extreme speed!
Xiao Wei joked, "Xiao Bai's hand speed is practically a tentacle monster, right? That wave of marks just now must have been a QQQWE combo spammed back and forth. Those with slow hands, please do not imitate."
Seeing Lieyang actually Flash under the tower, Chen Qianhua immediately popped his ultimate to seal him.
The Ice Emperor's ultimate, "Frost Cage," was an AOE ice prison that could trap all enemies within range and freeze them into ice sculptures. As long as he froze Ye Shaoyang and his teammate Frost Goddess followed up with another control, Ye Shaoyang was dead meat!
As a support with top-tier awareness, Chen Qianhua played control supports exceptionally well.
The ultimate was placed extremely precisely, not only freezing the [Abyssal Lord] but trapping all three shadows as well.
Ye Shaoyang stubbornly Flashed to initiate, and the result was getting frozen under the tower, his health plummeting like water!
But Binghun's marksman had taken a full burst combo from his Flash engage and was now left with only a sliver of health.
A life for a life?
Lieyang had the highest economy in the game. Trading himself for the enemy marksman was a bit of a loss!
Just as the audience was thinking this, in the next moment, Chi Shuo, who had been lying in wait nearby, suddenly mobilized.
The Ninja's "Shadow Escape" skill allowed for brief acceleration and invisibility, as well as swapping with a clone. Chi Shuo dashed in at extreme speed, flanked, and landed a critical hit, directly harvesting the head of the retreating Binghun marksman!
Ye Shaoyang was frozen under the tower with only a sliver of health left. Binghun's jungler used a Q skill to finish him off.
However, nobody was dealing with Chi Shuo!
Your Twin Ice System used all its freezing control skills on the highest-threat target, Ye Shaoyang. Chi Shuo harvested wildly under the tower, the [Ninja]'s dual blades sending blood flying, instantly slicing the Frost Goddess to death!
The jungler wanted to retreat, but Qu Jiang blocked their path with a Gold Wall, raining coins down from the sky.
Cheng Xing hid in the back, activating his life-steal ultimate to fire frantically, crippling Binghun's jungler in the blink of an eye.
Chi Shuo slashed down again, deleting the enemy jungler.
—Triple Kill!
This tower dive triple kill simply defied all logic.
The on-site commentator said excitedly, "Lieyang's stubborn initiation was actually to bait the enemy's skills!"
"That's right. The [Abyssal Lord] can Flash from ultra-long range to start a fight. As the point with the highest economy, when he Flashes under the tower to force a kill on the marksman, Binghun naturally has to control him and kill him as fast as possible."
"This, in turn, liberated Shuoyue. The opponent's freeze control chain was used on the [Abyssal Lord] and his shadows. The Ninja's DPS environment was too perfect."
"Yes, Lieyang wasn't initiating mindlessly. He tanked the tower damage for Shuoyue and baited out the opponent's control skills—then, he went down, handing the battlefield over to his most trusted teammate!"
"This game, Tianhuan looked like a Mid-Core system, with the support constantly following the mid laner, and the mid laner having the highest economy and roaming frequently to drive the rhythm… But don't forget, the jungler [Ninja] is also an assassin with reaping capabilities."
"Captain Chi has been burying his head farming, frantically snatching crabs and snowballing. Unknowingly, his economy became extremely high. Binghun focused on Lieyang, and although they killed him, they allowed Shuoyue to take a triple kill in one breath!"
"A 1-for-3 trade in this wave. Tianhuan profited massively!"
Chen Qianhua felt helpless.
Actually, Binghun's control chain just now was executed perfectly, killing Ye Shaoyang as quickly as possible.
But Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo coordinated even better. Chi Shuo waited until the opponents finished using their freeze controls before suddenly entering the fray.
All four of Tianhuan's bot-lane members were squishy.
With no front line, someone had to tank the damage, right?
Qu Jiang's support had no initiation capability. Cheng Xing as the marksman definitely had to stand back and deal damage. Between Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang, who would initiate and tank the first wave of damage? It definitely had to be Ye Shaoyang, who had higher aggro and attracted more fire!
The two reached a tacit understanding instantly. Ye Shaoyang decisively went in to sacrifice himself, dumping all his burst skills and waiting to die peacefully. He crippled the opponents, letting Chi Shuo clean up.
Chi Shuo, who had been farming quietly for half the game, naturally wouldn't disappoint him.
Xiao Wei lamented, "Xiao Bai had the highest economy all game, yet when it was time to die, he Flashed in decisively to sell himself. He really plays matches aggressively! Of course, Captain Chi didn't betray his trust. No hype, no hate—Tianhuan's Mid-Jungle synergy is truly awesome!"
[Tianhuan's Sun-Moon combo is forever god!]
[I love Xiao Bai's hard-headed, aggressive style so much. Too handsome, even dying looked handsome~]
[Economy stomp, right? The Abyssal Lord crippled the entire enemy team in that wave!]
[This Bounty Warlock super-early game lineup is actually pretty good.]
[Today's Abyssal Lord, although not as flashy as the debut Pentakill game, carried the rhythm perfectly.]
Whether a player's performance is excellent isn't determined by kill count.
In that fight just now, Ye Shaoyang didn't get a single kill. Could you say he played poorly?
He actively Flashed in to tank damage, creating a reaping opportunity for his teammate, sending Binghun back to base in one wave.
Tianhuan already had an economic advantage. After this triple kill, Chi Shuo became the one with the highest economy on the field.
Fine, you two take turns being number one.
Tianhuan's jungler was ahead of the opponent by one major item, and the mid laner was also ahead by a major item.
Binghun's team fighting was strong, but with such a massive equipment deficit, it was too hard to turn the tables.
Chen Qianhua commanded his teammates to group mid for a breakthrough, but Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang caught an opportunity to delete the marksman. Meanwhile, in the top lane, Old Qin split-pushed and tied them down, quickly taking the inner tower. With a minion disadvantage, Binghun was forced to retreat to defend the high ground.
Tianhuan began to snowball frantically, taking the Baron (Big Dragon) and pushing the high ground.
Old Qin landed a mid-range control, Qu Jiang sprinkled a rain of gold coins, Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo dashed in together, and Cheng Xing fired frantically at the tower. Binghun could defend one lane, but they couldn't defend three.
The match ended within 20 minutes.
It was exactly as the coaching staff's statistics suggested—Binghun was a team with very obvious strengths and weaknesses. They were incredible in the ultra-late game, almost unbeatable in team fights. But during the early laning phase, they were prone to collapsing if they couldn't hold on.
Binghun had exposed this weakness when playing against Beimu. Today against Tianhuan, they failed to withstand the early game again. Chen Qianhua knew very well in his heart that the individual skill of Binghun's players still needed improvement.
Beimu had world-class side lanes + mid laner. Tianhuan had a terrifying Mid-Jungle synergy. Binghun relied solely on the support's shot-calling for team fights. If they were blown out during the laning phase, they would fall into a massive deficit before reaching the team fight phase.
Watching backstage, Coach Lin smiled with relief. "Three consecutive wins. beating Huowen and Binghun 2-0 gives us 2 net points! We are definitely making the winner's bracket this season!"
It was rare to see the coach so excited. The 2nd team members also hugged each other in excitement.
Lin Feng looked at the image of the smiling Ye Shaoyang on the big screen, feeling very complicated. This player, Shaoyang, not only played mid lane well, but surprisingly, his tactical thinking was also outstanding!
Bounty Warlock paired with Abyssal Lord for fast-paced early game roaming…
This was an adapted lineup thought up by Ye Shaoyang, and it suited Tianhuan perfectly.
Because Ye Shaoyang was already proficient with the [Abyssal Lord], and his teammates knew how to coordinate with him, Tianhuan mastered this system in just one short week, and the results on the field were excellent.
The [Abyssal Lord] in this game wasn't an assassin mage sneaking around for kills.
He was the initiation point that drove Tianhuan's rhythm.
