Chapter 75.1: It was hard. It was really too hard. (2/2)
A truly strong team had never been a one-man team.
Although the team’s lethality had dropped sharply its team commander, Pro wasn’t just a team of two people. They had made it into the global semi-finals based on the strength of all five people!
Kim Sung-hyun was the team’s core, but it didn’t mean that the other people were trash.
On the contrary, they were the iron walls that guarded the core!
System Announcement––
Pro.UU killed FTW.White!
Pro.UU killed FTW.Le!
Pro.Cui killed FTW.Silvery!
In the gap left by Wei Xiao’s crazy ganking of the bottom lane, Pro’s top lane cooperated with their jungler Park Guizhi to take down a double kill, while the mid-lane’s Cui killed Ning Zhehan!
Once these three kills were announced, Pro instantly cleared up their declining state and took control of the situation again.
Off-stage.
Chen Feng’s expression remained the same.
Tang Chen scratched his head, “Strong.”
Chen Feng: “Yes.”
They had been watching the game constantly just now. Bai Cai, Yue Wenle, and Ning Zhehan had played very well.
There had been almost no operational mistakes, and their state was also very good. They hadn’t made any big mistakes in the details, but…
They couldn’t beat their opponents.
Pro’s top-laner’s devil warrior and power thief had launched a surprise attack. Bai Cai had taken tons of damage and was the first to die, but he’d still failed to protect Yue Wenle.
This wasn’t a positioning error, nor was it an operational mistake, but rather a hero restraint and operational suppression.
Although Wei Xiao had subdued Kim Sung-hyun, the other side’s jungler wasn’t just for show. They could naturally also hold down Yue Wenle!
The mid-lane Cui’s sword mage was an assassin mage type. It was a mage who could kill devastatingly if given the opportunity.
Even if it hadn’t been Ning Zhehan, and EVE’s Xie He had been there instead, it was difficult to say whether he would be able to live on without his teammates’ support.
In the game that was going on now, it wasn’t just about the three cubs, but more about the whole team.
They needed more cooperation, more discipline, more adaptation and understanding of each other.
Chen Feng understood all these things, so he wasn’t in a panic.
It wasn’t something they could rush.
They still had enough time. The earlier they discovered these problems, the earlier they could deal with them.
The domestic competition would be their real start!
The top lane and mid-lane had collapsed, so Wei Xiao could no longer target Kim Sung-hyun. He had to start supporting all three lanes.
As a result, Kim Sung-hyun was liberated.
No matter how strong Close was, it was unrealistic for him to be able to crush Kim Sung-hyun with Pro’s support behind him.
Kim Sung-hyun no longer ran around everywhere. He simply developed quietly, frantically seizing farming opportunities from beneath Close’s hand.
Little by little, bit by bit…
This kind of particular, precise marksman was the most terrifying presence in the canyon.
The game dragged on into the second half.
Wei Xiao’s heart was uneasy, “We won’t be able to fight if we drag the game on.”
The ghost hunter had begun to give up its ghost form and focus only on its human form.
The ghost hunter in human form had no flexible movements or control skills, but it had an amazing ability to deal damage from the back row.
By the time Kim Sung-hyun finished six full sets of gear, he would be able to use a single arrow to string FTW up like a tanghulu.
Lu Feng: “Give up the bottom lane tower.”
Wei Xiao’s heart thumped.
There was no other way; they were at their limit. It was already record breaking for the captain to be able to guard the defense tower to this degree against two people.
When FTW lost their bottom tower, the liberated Kim Sung-hyun really began to crush all lanes.
Pro’s playstyle was very obvious.
Everyone supported Kim Sung-hyun.
They weren’t just foils, nor were they just decoration. They were iron walls that guarded Kim Sung-hyun!
Even if Li Heran wasn’t there, the tacit understanding between the team members still existed.
The game lasted 40 minutes.
FTW was suffering from a one-sided decline.
Kim Sung-hyun gave up the ghost form completely, and his human form with full gear was strong enough to explode.
Yue Wenle’s storm hunter began to expose its shortcomings.
It was hard for the storm hunter that was strong in the early stages to find DPS opportunities in the later stages.
High mobility marksmen were destined to sacrifice high DPS and range. It was basic, fundamental game balance logic.
The ice mage’s damage had increased, but Pro’s support had magic defense gear and blocked in front of the team, forcing Ning Zhehan to retreat.
He couldn’t deal any real damage, and his positioning was forced backwards, unable to affect Pro’s back row.
If he was even a little careless, then Pro’s sword mage could shoot a sword over and kill him instantly with a set of skills.
It was hard. It was really too hard.
There was no way for FTW to fight a team battle at all!
If they weren’t able to cut to the back and kill Kim Sung-hyun. FTW had no hope of winning the game.
Everyone understood this truth, but how could they reach Kim Sung-hyun?
In FTW’s team chat––
Bai Cai said fiercely, “Old Wei, let’s go get Kim Sung-hyun!”
Damn it, he was so angry. He’d been marksmen’s daddy for so many years and had never felt so suffocated.
How was this a marksman? It was clearly a big ancestor!
An ancestor that must be catered to all around the canyon!
Wei Xiao’s voice held a rare seriousness, “You can’t leave Old Yue.”
Pro’s most ball-breaking point lay here. It seemed that everyone was focused on protecting Kim Sung-hyun, but in fact, their sense of smell was more sensitive than a pack of dogs. Once they noticed any meaty bones, they would pounce and chew it into nothing in seconds.
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan were the most tasty meat bones.
As soon as Bai Cai left them, they would be attacked and killed immediately.
Once the marksman and mage were dead, how would FTW deal any DPS?
Even if they killed Kim Sung-hyun, so what?
Pro’s four remaining people could easily win the game!
Bai Cai understood this as well. It was just that he was angry, “F*ck, could it be that we’ll have to admit defeat like this?”
Once these words came out, the team chat fell silent.
Wei Xiao, whose trash talk could cover the whole sky, didn’t pick up the thread of the conversation, and everyone else felt a little flustered.
This game was different from yesterday’s game.
They’d been psychologically prepared for how strong the full-strength L&P were.
They could face the results no matter how they won or lost, but Pro was missing their commander. If they lost like this, then…
