Chapter 849: It Feels Like A Different Game!

However, what Coach FRY did not know was that this scene was perfectly captured by the cameras and broadcasted to all the audiences around the world.

The live-stream platform in China was filled with bullet screen comments.

“What’s that paper in Coach FRY’s hand?”

“I saw it! It looks like the lineup that FV Team chose from the top eight!”

“Really? Then what does he mean by he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away?”

“They should have given up, hahahaha. I just checked the lineup that FV Team won. They played a total of seven rounds from the top eight to now. They chose 26 different heroes. Almost every round was played differently. What’s the point of a.n.a.lyzing!”

“I’m sorry for the FRY team’s coach. I’m afraid I won’t be able to think of a way to deal with them, right?”

“Don’t be arrogant, don’t be arrogant. Let’s see how FRY intends to play the next game!”

…

The second round of the compet.i.tion began while Zhao Xuming and Pei Qian were feeling nervous.

This time, FRY deliberately chose the red team and gave the right to choose first to FV Team. Obviously, it was because they had suffered a huge loss in terms of tactics previously. This time, they hoped to wait and see. They wanted FV Team to choose a lineup and then target it themselves. At the very least, they wanted to ensure that the lineup would not split apart once it was selected.

Both parties were still going to take down the other party’s hero. However, even though the principles were the same, the effect was different.

FV banned the heroes that they felt was FRY team’s forte. However, the heroes FRY team banned did not seem to cause any trouble for the FV team at all.

That was very uncomfortable.

The FRY team had just finished banning the last person and Old Zhou had already directed his team members to lock onto a hero that had once been a must-have choice for anyone to ban: Chaos Misfortune!

They locked it in an instant, showing off their aura.

This hero was very popular in the group stages. As long as they obtained it, they would basically win. It was a relatively weak hero in the early stages, but once developed, it would be an unbeatable hero.

However, FV Team released this hero when they fought with CEM in the top eight. Then, they used a second tier jungler hero to kill it directly. This hero did not seem to be so G.o.d-like after all.

That was because after that game, the other teams were inspired and knew how to play Chaos Misfortune. Once everyone knew how to target, this hero would not be so scary.

FRY’s coach was shocked at first, but then revealed a happy expression. “That’s great!”

Chaos Misfortune’s choice was indeed out of FRY’s expectations. That was because FV Team preferred to release this hero for the opponents to choose and then target themselves. They rarely s.n.a.t.c.hed it themselves.

Coach FRY took a closer look. While FV team had chosen Chaos Misfortune, none of the strong early-stage jungler heroes who could deal with Chaos Misfortune had been banned!

Wasn’t that equivalent to giving it away for free?

He immediately asked his team members to choose the unpopular jungler hero line up that FV had chosen to play with CEM’s Chaos Misfortune.

Why not copy the standard answers?

FRY’s coach guessed that the reason why FV Team did not ban the two heroes was partly because they wanted to carry out their own unique skills, and partly because they were blindly confident.

Once Chaos Misfortune was surpa.s.sed by level two and three, it would definitely be blown through. However, since this lineup was developed by FV Team, they would definitely let the jungler do the opposite to protect Chaos Misfortune’s development.

Perhaps it was because of all the considerations and the lack of ban positions that FV Team did not ban these jungler heroes.

However, the reason why FRY’s coach was so confident was because they had specially trained in this style before!

After a.n.a.lysis by the Balancer of Finger Games, he concluded that Chaos Misfortune was still T0’s choice in terms of data. Thus, FRY team had focused on training this hero.

Even if the opponent’s jungler protected Chaos Misfortune, FRY battleteam had other ways to deal with it so that Chaos Misfortune could not develop.

This was one level higher than FV Team in terms of tactics!

The BP of both teams continued. FV Team did not seem to care much about FRY’s lineup. Instead, they chose a team battle system that revolved around Chaos Misfortune.

FRY had also chosen the lineup that they wanted.

They did not completely copy FV Team’s strategy, but made some slight adjustments. However, the tactical playstyle was the same: the strong mid-laner who was good at support had directly crippled Chaos Misfortune in the early stage.

If the FV team’s jungler did not protect Chaos Misfortune, then Chaos Misfortune would die infinitely under the tower. If the jungler protected it, then the jungle would be invaded and compressed. In the situation where FV was developing poorly, FRY only needed to find a rhythm to break the stalemate. Chaos Misfortune would still be very difficult to develop.

The official commentator had learned his lesson this time. They did not say it out loud even though they were still completely optimistic about FRY’s lineup.

“FRY chose a standard lineup to deal with Chaos Misfortune. They practically wrote ‘Chaos Misfortune Must Die’ on their faces. And even though they knew the other party’s intentions, FV Team did not make too much of a response to the lineup. Could this be blind confidence?”

“The tactics that FRY Team is currently using were the tactics that FV Team developed first. However, it is obvious that FRY Team has already integrated their own understanding into this strategy. Would the Master who educate his disciple or would the disciple defeat the Master? Let us wait and see!”

…

At the same time, in Jingzhou…

Pei Qian looked at the lineup of both parties and felt like he had seen this scene before.

Wasn’t this similar to the match during the top eight?

He still remembered how Chaos Misfortune was crazily targeted by FV Team and died from beginning to end.

However, it was FV Team who took Chaos Misfortune this time.

Pei Qian vaguely felt that there must be something wrong with the situation. However, he could not guess what FV Team was planning at that moment. He could only continue watching patiently.

The answer was soon revealed.

FV Team’s bottom lane duo rushed to the top lane without stopping the moment the compet.i.tion started!

Pei Qian’s heart skipped a beat when he saw that. He immediately had a bad feeling.

It was no wonder that FV did not restrict the other party’s top laner heroes when choosing the lineup. That was because they had long thought about changing the lineup. It did not matter what kind of hero the other party was!

Both IOI and GOG did not have any protection mechanism. In other words, the initial attributes of the three top, middle, and bottom towers were exactly the same. There would not be the setting of ‘the first two towers down in XX minutes’.

Thus, this method of switching lines was not rare in compet.i.tions. Many teams did not trust the ability of a certain line player, so they would let the team change lines to avoid the pressure of the line.

Chaos Misfortune should be able to withstand the pressure alone at the bottom lane. If that was the case, it would be unable to take care of itself by FRY’s bottom lane duo or it would not be able to develop at all.

However, FV battle team was obviously not a regular line change. Chaos Misfortune did not go to the bottom lane at all, but followed the jungler straight to the opponent’s upper half of the jungle. The bottom lane’s two-man team and the middle lane also followed, instantly forming a five-man team!

FRY’s jungler was shocked and hurriedly escaped.

It was a good thing that he had run away quickly. Otherwise, this game would have been difficult if he had been killed.

However, he did not panic too much and calmed down very quickly. After all, he had seen many tricks from the first team compet.i.tion. Since the other party had invaded his upper half of the jungle with such fanfare, he would go to the lower half of the zone by himself.

They would not lose too much even if he were to switch to another jungle.

The invasion of FV team had indeed bought Chaos Misfortune some time to develop. It had made FRY’s idea of crossing the tower at level two fail. However, the price was that the development of two of their own heroes were severely damaged.

FV’s bottom lane team would definitely miss out on a lot of experience if they returned to the bottom lane after playing the first-level team. The bottom lane would probably have to be holed up forever.

FRY Team would not lose out at all if the script really developed this way. They would pick up a huge advantage at the bottom lane for free, and then find an opportunity to train Chaos Misfortune in the top lane after clearing the second half of the jungle.

…

The official commentators obviously understood this as well. They were all saying that FV Team’s first-tier team had to be considered.

While it ensured that Chaos Misfortune’s development to a certain extent, the bottom lane team lost too much and could not match the line directly.

However, FV Team’s actions were beyond everyone’s expectations. After invading the jungle, the two teams at the bottom lane had no intention of returning to the bottom lane at all. Instead, they went straight to the top lane!

The archer aimed at the FRY team’s top-laner, causing him to lose his balance.

What was going on?

Shouldn’t it be two brothers wrestling on the top lane? Why did someone with such long arms suddenly bully me? And he had a bodyguard with him?

FRY’s top-laner was very depressed, but he had played quite a number of games after all, so he quickly stabilized his mentality.

He could still do something by using some skills to make up for the damage as long as he ate some experience under the tower.

However, FV’s jungler and Chaos Misfortune were already behind him just as the first wave of minions entered the tower.

He was already surrounded by four strong men before he could level up!

Obviously, FV had no intention of letting Chaos Misfortune go to the bottom lane to resist the pressure at all. They might as well hang out with the jungler in the jungle!

The top laner from FRY battle team was still at level one and the jungler had gone to clear the second half of the area again. He had no choice at all. He was killed after a symbolic resistance under the tower.

The jungler and Chaos Misfortune once again entered the FRY Team’s jungle to develop after that. The bottom lane of FV Team began to push crazily up the road defense tower.

The official commentators were all shocked.

“FV Team… gave up the bottom lane directly? They don’t want the bottom lane anymore?”

“FRY’s bottom lane is already pus.h.i.+ng the tower. It’s obviously faster than FV’s.”

“After all, FV Team’s forceful killing of the opponent’s top-laner took up a certain amount of time.”

“This way… the bottom lane of FRY Team is very comfortable, which allowed it to develop completely without any pressure, and they are not worried that people would come to catch them; the jungler of FRY Team can change the opponent’s jungle after clearing the bottom half of their own jungle, it is not a loss at all.”

“Then who’s losing out?”

“FRY’s top-laner lost the most. He died once, and now he has nowhere to go! He doesn’t dare to go to the top lane, so he can only follow his own jungler or bottom lane.”

“FRY Team can still accept it if both sides were to explode.”

“No, FRY cannot accept this because FV is obviously developing Chaos Misfortune!”

The bottom lane on FV’s side was pus.h.i.+ng crazily. After the jungler and Chaos Misfortune finished farming the jungle, the jungler went back to farm his own top half lane. However, Chaos Misfortune did not follow him. Instead, he came to the front of FRY’s top lane tower which was already severely damaged.

FV Team’s bottom lane hit the tower until there was a sliver of HP left. Then, they immediately went home, leaving Chaos Misfortune alone on the top lane. They silently waited for the tower to finish off all the soldiers on their side before taking down the defense of the tower unhurriedly and returning to the city.

All the tower money had been given to Chaos Misfortune alone!

FV’s two-person team at the bottom lane immediately rushed to the middle lane after replenis.h.i.+ng their equipment, while the jungler and middle lane entered the lower half of the jungle to give pressure. Chaos Misfortune comfortably arrived in front of the second tower at his own bottom lane and steadily caught a large wave of soldiers.

FRY Team’s bottom lane dual team was still full after pus.h.i.+ng down the defense tower. However, it was a little too ridiculous to charge into the opponent’s second tower within a few minutes of the start of the game. What’s more, they had to provide equipment. Thus, they quickly pushed down the defense tower and returned to the city immediately.

However, this wave of minions was not completely wiped out. In the end, Chaos Misfortune still benefited.

On the other hand, the tower on FRY’s top lane had fallen, but the defense tower ate all the small soldiers before it was destroyed. Thus, the minions were still converging at the river.

The top-laner did not dare to go over at all because there was no defense tower anymore. An underdeveloped top-laner would be like a walking ATM.

FRY was stunned. Their top-laner had nowhere to go!

He did not dare to go to the top lane without a tower; the bottom lane’s minions were under FV’s second turret and could not be eaten; he could not possibly go to the middle lane’s minions, right?

What should the mid-laner and bottom laner do?

The number of people dead on both sides was 1: 0. Only the top-laner on FRY’s side died once. The economic gap was not widened at all.

However, the situation had taken a sharp turn. FRY’s tactical arrangements had been completely destroyed. They could not play anymore!

…

The bullet screen comments were exploding in the live-stream in China.

“This is the Seven Injuries Fist? Killing a thousand enemies and sacrificing eight hundred?”

“I’ve seen swap lanes before, but I’ve never seen someone swap lanes like that! They just left the bottom lane empty?”

“However, FV is making a killing from the results! Chaos Misfortune has developed!”

“FRY chose junglers, who had advantages in the early stages, to teach Chaos Misfortune a lesson. However, they did not expect their own top laner to be taught instead! The hero in the early stages collapsed and could not develop anymore. How is he different from an ordinary soldier?”

“I’ve already imagined FV’s psychological activity: Brother, I’m waiting for Chaos Misfortune to emerge. What are you waiting for?”

“I’m dying of laughter. FRY is being suppressed by their IQ again! How can they continue playing in this manner? Chaos Misfortune ate the tower money and ate such a huge group of soldiers. After developing, he surpa.s.sed the top-laner on the other side. It would definitely be able to fight one against five if he were to become fat!”

At this point, even the audience could tell that FRY was about to lose.

This lineup was originally an early-stage lineup. They wanted to catch Chaos Misfortune, but their own top-laner collapsed before they could catch him!

The development of the other four players might not have been 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 a front runner. A team fight would definitely shatter.

How could they continue to play this way?

FRY’s team members looked solemn. They were beginning 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 it anymore!

This feeling was like thinking that he was playing well in Go but in the end, the other party suddenly linked five pieces together and won!
