Chapter 247.1: They didn’t think about winning or losing, and focused on grasping the moment! (1/2)
editor: apricot
Lu Feng could use the space-time knight as well?
The four little ones were all stunned.
FTW did have a double support line-up. When Tang Chen played top lane, he was very good at the space knight, and that line-up had a high win rate.
With two supports protecting Close, they could win a game playing three against five.
Of course, the other side wasn’t stupid either. They used their ban spot on the space time knight, breaking apart the double support line-up.
Brother Tang was able to use the space time knight, Caicai could use it as well, and Wei Xiao could use it with some practice. However, picturing Lu Feng using the space time knight left people feeling a bit incredulous.
The great demon king could use any talent in the singles competition, but he never touched those that tended towards support.
It was difficult for a clever woman to make food without rice. No matter how strong his personal ability was, it wasn’t possible to use a holy priest and win in a solo game.
Just think about God Yan’s zen style four talents during the global opening game for the new singles competition mode.
Of course, Lu Feng could certainly play the space knight.
The upper limit for the talent was high, the operations required were complex, and the ultimate move mechanism was difficult. As a talent kaleidoscope, there was nothing he couldn’t play.
It was just that playing it and really using it were two different things.
There were two kinds of play methods: DPS type and support type.
If there had been an uproar in the live broadcast room when Yuan Ze took the space knight, then Lu Feng taking the space knight would leave the entire world staring at him wide-eyed.
When the haters saw Yuan Ze using the space knight, they immediately determined that he was an Oscars winning actor.
If they saw Lu Feng using it, then it was likely they wouldn’t even be able to flame him––it would be like real life magic where someone else had transmigrated into the great demon king’s body!
FTW was unable to turn the tide during the second game.
Although they managed to push their way to L&P’s base on the top lane, they were only able to take down the outer towers in the other lanes.
Yuan Ze didn’t really fight directly against Lu Feng in this game. Except for maintaining his lane soldiers, he basically didn’t fight with Lu Feng in the top lane at all. He took Old G with him, and they roamed wildly through the top and bottom jungle zones, hitting whoever they ran into. And whoever those two ran into, died.
Bai Cai was so angry that he couldn’t control his emotions. “Is the space knight so strong? I can train with it too!”
While having him play jungler was a true impossibility, the space-time knight tended towards support. If there was a suitable line-up, then Bai Cai really could use it. However…
It was more effective when used in the top-lane than as a pure support.
The captain’s words lingered in his mind, but they always felt like an illusion.
In the later stages, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides became more obvious.
Yue Wenle and Ning Zhehan were dealing enough DPS. Alright, it was more than enough; they were practically putting their lives on the line to deal damage.
Bai Cai also started up two team fights perfectly, accurately landing his control skills on VIVI. Wei Xiao and Lu Feng could also deal explosive DPS instantly but…
VIVI was able to stand back up again in the next second and use flash to move to a safe position. He retaliated with his beams and stabbed the two jungler kings with his beams, making the audience so angry their livers ached.
Defeat!
FTW lost one point. Both sides were tied at 1:1.
When faced with this situation, the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t scold FTW for once.
How should they put it…
Although they’d lost, they could see how hard the players had tried.
They wanted to flame, but couldn’t find anywhere to start from.
Even without mentioning Lu Feng and Wei Xiao. Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, and Yue Wenle had all played well, and let alone looking at the China competition zone, even if they looked across the whole world, there were very few teams who could win group fights under L&P’s rogue-like play style.
Fortunately it was a BO5 game, and it was full-game BP.
Yuan Ze’s space knight was ‘forever hated’ after only being used once. The entire Chinese population never wanted to see it again!
The previous flamers also felt their faces hurting. They’d thought that Yuan Ze was trying to throw the game, but unexpectedly, they’d won the game in such a bug-like fashion.
There was no more calling him an Oscars winner. They could only brush out the following: “FTW is so crappy, why are they competing? They should go back to raise pigs and farm!”
This kind of diss that had no technical content left fans too lazy to try and reason with them. Even the moderators were too lazy to block them.
From another perspective, the haters also proved that FTW had taken no real damage from this match. Otherwise, they would’ve already been flamed colorfully in all sorts of ways.
The third match’s BP began. This time was different from the last match, because the full-game BP had officially kicked in.
The talents that had been used and banned in the previous match were all listed at the top of the screen as a reminder for the audience.
FTW had banned the shadow thief, so they could no longer ban it in this match. The shadow thief was let out just like that.
They were able to choose first this time, and Chen Feng was hesitating over whether to take it or not.
Letting Wei Xiao use the shadow thief in the third match left him feeling a little flustered.
The new competition system was a bit like Tian Ji’s horse racing. The BP in this match was no longer limited to being a problem for the individual match. Instead, they had to consider the entire game overall. Not only did they have to attempt to break up their opponents’ line-up in this match, they had to consider the next game or even the game after that.
They were tied, which wasn’t good for FTW.
FTW’s momentum was soaring. It would be good if they could take the shadow thief and take their opponents down, but if FTW’s strongest line-up was destroyed, then the mentality of the players would collapse.
Losing two matches in a row and losing with their shadow thief line-up would make their fourth match very difficult.
Without a trump card for the match point game, there would be too much pressure and tension for the players.
L&P would only end up building up more momentum, making it very possible that they would win three consecutive matches, eliminating FTW.
So…
Chen Feng took a deep breath and then chose to first pick the mid and bottom lane talents.
No one had any opinions on this. They might have thought of Chen Feng’s concerns or maybe they hadn’t.

In a full-game BP situation, trusting the coach was very important.
The coach was off-stage, looking at the overall situation and better able to exercise clear judgement. Players just needed to play the best they could in the canyon.
