BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247.1: They didn’t think about winning or losing, and focused on grasping the moment!
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.
Since FTW released the shadow thief, L&P didn’t act polite and took it directly. Old G started lamenting again. “What a pity we can’t take the space-time knight again…”
The talents used in the battle of freedom wasn’t within the scope of the full-game BP, which was why he could still use the shadow thief.
Yuan Ze took the death knight.
Old G was happy again. “We’re set for this game!”
They’d taken the same double dark system from the first match, but they wouldn’t make the same mistake that they had in the first match again.
Underestimating the enemy was impossible. If they still didn’t take it seriously, then they really would lose.
The live broadcast room audience had already started scolding as soon as they saw L&P take the double dark line-up.
“FTW’s coach is stupid. If he can’t BP, then he should just get lost. This is like letting the tiger head right back to the mountain!”
“Chen Feng is the real Oscars winner. What kind of crappy line-up is he giving FTW? Does he want to play against the double dark with just this?”
“Don’t you have any clarity on how you won the battle of freedom? Do you really think it’s still possible to blindly select and repeat talents in a normal match?!”
“Without the great demon king’s shadow thief, FTW will just be strung up and beaten by the death knight.”
“Let’s head out, let’s head out. I bet that it’ll be 3:1, with FTW stopping in the top eight.”
There were also those who were analyzing the situation calmly. “Chen Feng is the man behind the great demon king. He’s not that crappy.”
“Is he planning to preserve their strength and start fighting hard in the last two matches?”
“L&P’s double dark is really strong. Not to mention FTW, even Y1 might not be able to win.”
“Although FTW won the first match, it was also through the battle of freedom. Under normal BP circumstances, it’s difficult to restrain the shadow thief and death knight…”
“If they let L&P win this game, they’ll be at 2:1. Can FTW withstand the pressure?”
“It’s still better than taking out all their best talents and losing…”
“Is giving up without a fight appropriate?”
“I feel that they should go all out since things are already like this!”
“I support Coach Chen Feng. I think he’s onto something. The full-game BP relies on one’s brains, and I believe in him!”
“Well, if FTW loses three in a row after their first win, then I’ll go to the base and die with him ^_^”
Regardless of how fiercely the audience argued in the scrolling comments, the line-up had already been determined.
FTW’s side wasn’t weak, especially when it came to Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle. They’d gotten the ice mage and the gold hunter, so they shouldn’t end up being suppressed.
Lu Feng was using the berserker warrior. Wei Xiao had been unable to get the berserker thief because it had been banned, so he was using the flying thief.
The flying thief couldn’t hold up against a beating, but it could play out guerrilla tactics.
Chen Feng’s thoughts were clear. They couldn’t fight head on, so they might as well go another way.
If they were able to hold up against the double dark with their operation, then FTW had a chance of winning. If they couldn’t, then…
Chen Feng breathed in lightly.
Brother Tang comforted him. “It’s alright, we didn’t take any major losses with the hero pool.”
Chen Feng’s expression was cold, but his heart was as tense as a taut string. “It won’t be easy after the score becomes 2:1.”
Tang Chen was optimistic on a daily basis. “Believe in them.”
Chen Feng: “……”
Yes, they could only believe in them.
In any case, they were worth believing in.
Despite being faced with world champions at the peak, each of his players were fearless climbers who were unafraid of facing difficulties head-on.
They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t slack off.
They would only look up at the peak and press forward!
When the game loaded, the voices in the FTW team chat were very relaxed.
Wei Xiao really wanted to ask Lu Feng about the space-time knight but…
Forget it, forget it, he’d wait a bit longer!
If the captain really could use it, they could go back and practice it, then show it off in the next game.
Of course, they had to win against L&P first.
At the start of the third match, the even score meant that both sides had pulled back to the same starting line. The battle for points had officially begun!
FTW was very serious when faced with L&P’s fierce line-up.
They didn’t think about winning or losing, and focused on grasping the moment!
L&P had warmed up from the previous matches, and they invaded the other side’s jungle zone mercilessly right from the start.
Wei Xiao chose to switch jungle zones, but unexpectedly, AA didn’t even go for his own lane soldiers and took shots at him from across a wall.
The flying thief had a lot of movement skills, but it didn’t have much health. It could run quickly, but it couldn’t take damage.
In the early stages, a marksman could take down half his health with nothing but an iron sword.
Bai Cai came over from the bottom lane to heal him, however, then they had no choice but to let the jungle creeps go because the shadow thief was coming over to corner them.
Getting three buffs at the start of the match was a routine operation for L&P when they had this line-up.
Wei Xiao was suppressed, and Lu Feng was held up. Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle were struggling to hold up against the two lane bullies VIVI and AA, soon falling into a dilemma between saving their own lives but losing their tower, or saving the tower and losing their lives.
They’d all ended up collapsing in the early stages, and in the later stage, the flying thief and berserker warrior split up to direct the lane soldiers.
They managed some good damage control, but the farm difference was too big by then. FTW suffered an all-out collapse once the big dragon king came out.
2:1.
