Chapter 850 - A Heavy Strike

The entire game entered rubbish time after Chaos Misfortune took a huge wave of the bottom lane without any pressure.

FRY Team was still trying their best to find an opportunity, but their lineup wasn’t a team line up to begin with. It was impossible to change the entire battle even if they tried their best to find an opportunity in a disadvantaged situation.

While both parties’ economies were almost equal, they could not fight at all even though Chaos Misfortune ate all sorts of resources. FRY Team was completely crushed with one touch.

In the end, both teams’ head-to-head ratio stopped at 17 to 12. FV Team successfully won the second round!

…

Both teams left the stage.

FV team members did not have much of an expression because they knew very well that the game had basically ended the moment they succeeded in swapping lanes.

Since everything was going according to the script, there was nothing to be happy about. There would not be a huge turnaround.

On the other hand, some of the FRY team members were already beginning to break down.

It was especially true for their top player. His eyes seemed to be glistening with tears when he got up and returned to the lounge.

His competition was too difficult!

According to the original tactical arrangement, their jungler should have focused on taking care of the top laner, crazily catching Chaos Misfortune to fatten him up, directly taking over the competition in the middle.

In the end, he did not expect FV Team’s change of lines to mess up FRY’s tactical arrangements. He, who was supposed to take over the competition, was targeted at level one directly. He realized then that he had become a homeless orphan.

On the other hand, the other party’s top lane Chaos Misfortune ate soldiers, towers, and wild monsters. The resources that FV team could give him were all given to him. There were no fancy moves to play in the team. He just threw a few skills and got a bunch of kills.

FRY Team’s top-laner was definitely not convinced. Wouldn’t it be the same for me if I were to play Chaos Misfortune?

There was no difference in the operations of both parties, but because of their tactics and teammates, they ended up fighting until one of them was god-like while the other became rubbish. Who would be convinced?

What was even more infuriating was that no one made any serious mistakes in the two games. However, they felt that their IQ was suppressed and they could not win no matter how they played!

The scene returned to the commentator stand. The expressions of the commentators became even more unnatural.

They might still be using their smiles to express their awkwardness and trying their best to explain the exciting parts of the team battle, everyone knew in their hearts that there was no suspense in this game from the beginning. The few kills that FRY had won were completely irrelevant!

FV Team’s goal was especially clear. It did not matter how many people were killed in the early stages as long as they could buy time for Chaos Misfortune to develop. It did not matter how many heads they exchanged for in the later stages of the game. In any case, Chaos Misfortune, could just harvest them.

It looked like there would be a swap of heads every time both sides fought, but Chaos Misfortune had not died even once. In other words, FRY still did not pose any real threat to FV Team. No matter how many heads they took, they would only have died a slow death.

It was still a one-sided match but the commentators definitely could not say that. They still had to help FRY Team.

The audience would be too discouraged if they told the truth.

“I feel that FRY Team’s performance in the second round has obviously improved. They made many attempts in the second round, grabbed some opportunities, and bit the economic gap very hard at once compared to the first round where they were restrained. However, hero Chaos Misfortune took too many heads in the end and could not be dealt with, so FRY was powerless to reverse the situation.”

“Obviously, FV Team snatching Chaos Misfortune was a trap. Even though there was a change in playstyle in the previous competition, such a playstyle where all four of them were concentrated on the top lane and completely gave up on the bottom lane had never appeared before. Now, it looks like this is indeed a very good way to ensure Chaos Misfortune’s development.”

“FV team has obtained three points now. The scene is a huge advantage for them. However, we also noticed that FRY team is obviously adjusting and adapting quickly after FV team used all their trump cards. I believe that FRY team will bring us an exciting competition that is evenly matched in the third round!”

“FRY Team is a very resilient team. They have created miracles in desperate situations many times before. Can they chase three points and create another miracle this time? Let us wait and see!”

…

The atmosphere in the FRY team lounge was very depressing.

This game dealt a greater blow to their morale than the first game!

While they did not get many kills in the first round, the entire venue had been giving up their resources, FRY was still waiting for an opportunity. They had always believed that as long as they found a better opportunity in the later stages, there was a possibility of turning the tables.

On the other hand, the second round was the exact opposite. The FRY team seemed to be fighting back and forth on the battlefield. They had obtained the kills and exchanged for the defense tower. However, everyone became more and more desperate as they watched Chaos Misfortune’s equipment getting better and better.

That was because they knew very well that they would not be able to win if they delayed any further. In the beginning, it would be useless even if they tried to fight back. They would not be able to find an opportunity even if they wanted to!

If one were to use a boxing match as an analogy, the first round would be to keep defending. However, the other party did not get many points, so FRY team still felt that there was a chance of turning the tables. Both sides were getting points in the second round, but no matter how much FRY struggled, the gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger. That was really despairing!

This was especially so for the top laner. He felt like he no longer knew how to play this game.

Both teams did not have too many shortcomings in the finals stage. Every member was a top player. FRY’s top laner was usually very confident, but today’s competition made him as poor as a dog from beginning to end. It was even worse than running into an actor in a ranked competition. He was doubting life.

The coach was no less agitated than the team members.

Logically speaking, there should be no problem with the players’ performance. They had lost both games without any suspense. The coach had to take the blame.

However, the coach also felt very innocent. All the players and the entire coaches team were suppressed by their IQ. How could he have to take the blame alone?

Finger Games’ data balance expert was here, but it was useless!

The entire FRY Team was overjoyed when Finger Games secretly sent the statistician. These two statisticians were indeed talented. They helped to analyze the data of many strong heroes and prepared a few tactics.

FRY had also successfully improved their strength. They had tried out mock competitions with other European and American teams and basically won easily.

That was why FRY team was extremely confident before the start of the competition. FRY Team felt that they would definitely be able to win all five rounds even if the opponents performed extremely well in the finals.

In the end, they were completely suppressed by their IQ!

The tactic that Finger Games had sent the statistician to help out was not effective at all. The opponent had completely seen through it!

Coach FRY had something to say as well. Finger Games’ statisticians were not good enough. What could I do?

Everyone in the lounge was at a loss.

In the end, the coach spoke. “Chaos Misfortune… why don’t we ban it?”

The team members looked at each other, tacitly agreeing.

For the first two rounds, FRY team did not Ban Chaos Misfortune mainly because they felt that they could handle it even if the opponents were to choose it.

However, after the second round of competition, they realized that they really could not deal with FV Team obtaining this hero!

FRY Team would not have a good solution as long as they insisted on this method of swapping lanes, letting Chaos Misfortune go with the jungler to farm the jungle. Even if they could use the two-person route to catch the right line, it would only delay the development of Chaos Misfortune. It would not be able to play a decisive role.

However, they would not dare to snatch Chaos Misfortune by themselves.

That was because they knew very well that this kind of change of line was definitely not a tactic that could be learned on the spot. Every strategy was very complicated, including the early lineup selection, the preparation of the opening field, the handling of unexpected situations, and so on. It was a very complete system.

On the other hand, FRY Team knew nothing about these details. There was no time for them to review the second round of the competition. How could they copy the opponent’s playstyle?

What’s more, since Chaos Misfortune’s new playstyle was developed by FV Team, who would dare to bet that they did not have a countermeasure?

Thus, after much consideration, the safest way was to ban it.

However, there was a small problem if that was the case. They had to think carefully about which of the outstanding heroes to release from FV Team that had been defeated previously.

In the end, the coach made the decision decisively. “In that case, let’s ban Chaos Misfortune and Wings of the Blade. We cannot take any more risks even though the other party might not play global games.”

“We’ll fight steadily in the next round. We’ll choose our best heroes and compete purely on strength!”

The team members nodded in agreement.

While FV Team had never played global games before, who would dare to bet that they did not know how to play? FRY Team was not as confident about playing global games as FV Team. If they lost this game, it would be gone.

Therefore, after being defeated twice in a row, FRY Team decided to change their mindset. Since they could not win by playing with their brains, they would compete with brute force. They would defeat all the key heroes in the popular system and then compete with the opponents!

The FRY team members had been dealt a huge blow, and their mentality was not very stable. However, in this situation, they no longer had any burdens and decided to give it their all.

…

Zhao Xuming swiped his cell phone worriedly to check the discussion on the forum regarding the finals below the stage.

FV Team had obviously obtained one-sided support on the domestic forums. All sorts of posts praising FV Team have been published.

There were also many people who were thinking of ways to help FRY. However, this was not because they were on FRY’s side. They simply felt that FRY had been beaten too badly. Thus, these people took the weaker side and hoped that they could adjust well and contribute to an exciting competition.

However, even a keyboard warrior could not figure out a way to win!
