The temperament of a veteran team and a rookie team is always different.
As the recognized No. 1 giant in the European LCS region, and also the team club with the longest accumulation and the most brilliant achievements in European dominance, the Legend team has always had a calm and confident attitude that all other European professional teams are difficult to have.
Even if their performance in this year's S6 season was not too ideal, and even reached the finals in the end, they only ranked third in a thrilling way.
But that never seemed to have any effect on the team's mentality.
This is self-confidence and pride built up over a long period of time.
Every member of the Legend team knows very well that a momentary loss is nothing, because the final victory is always destined to belong to them.
Correspondingly, each Legend team member has another firm and unbreakable belief—
That is their captain.
In the entire clan club, the existence of Phoenix represents the absolute spiritual leader for every member of Legend.
They fanatically worship and believe in their own mid lane captain.
For them, whether it is the so-called Spoon who has the opportunity to challenge the position of the first Dharma King, or even the other four emperors, no matter how strong the top existences of the same legend are, but in their minds, the strongest will always be their captain, Phoenix.
However-
It is precisely because of such a firm belief that when this training match starts, the rhythm of the battle situation has shocked and shocked all the Legend team members present.
because…
Phoenix, the most invincible captain in their minds, was forcibly beaten by the opponent into a 55 to 50 even in the case of a mid-unit matchup!
Completely evenly matched!
Indistinguishable!
…
This Phoenix pick is the mid laner Murloc.
And as soon as they came up, the members of the Legend team who were watching the game immediately saw at a glance that their captain was definitely going all out, and in this state, they only met Moon or the world No. 1 in this state. I saw it when I was a mid laner F-Han Shihao.
Phoenix in this state is the real peak of Europe's first king.
Almost invincible.
Can be…
In this way, the offensive momentum that was supposed to be like a broken bamboo, but in this game, the mid-laner opponent seemed to encounter a copper wall as tall as a mountain, and was blocked by a forcible and steady parry.
The first wave of fights in the middle.
The purple side jungler excavator flashes directly, dashes forward, hits W, and controls the target Syndra.
The first pole vault of the murloc's E skill "Fantastic" perfectly evaded the opponent's EQ double, followed by the second E followed by [Flash] lightning-like dash straight to the dark head of state.
The operation is sharp and fast to the extreme.
But the blue side's mid laner Syndra seemed to have killed the time node, and opened [Flash] in seconds to escape the second-stage E flash range of the little murloc at the moment of getting rid of the control of the excavator.
The backhand EQ threw out two in a row to repel and control the little murloc.
Hang [ignite].
Cooperate with the fierce counterattack of the jungler teammate Prince.
In the end, it was really because the small fish man cooperated with the excavator that the burst damage in the early stage was too high, which led to a swap of the heads of the mid lane heroes on both sides. Posindra is not necessarily dead.
Even so, the result is still that Dark Yuan took the first blood of the murloc, earning a bounty of 100 yuan more than the murloc.
A Legend substitute who was watching the game couldn't help but see his eyes go straight:
"Damn, this CN, 006... Was it that strong in the first place?"
This sentence actually expressed the voice of many other Legend players and even some team leaders and coaches present.
At that time, CN and 006 were highly concerned about the single-row ranking of their European server king group. The video of each game was taken out for repeated research and deliberation. Although they were amazed at the strength of this mysterious 006, but In the end, the rating given is only above the seven kings and below the four emperors.
Certainly strong.
But no matter how you count it, it shouldn't be at the level of their captain Phoenix.
In other words, when their captain Phoenix showed his all-out attitude, in this training match, the murlocs on the purple side should have the upper hand.
But right now—
This is not the case at all.
…
In this training game, except for the mid-laner, the players in the other eight positions did not make any special arrangements, that is, after the players of the home team and the second team on Legend's side were separated, they were assigned to the blue and purple teams.
So the strength is basically the same.
The only difference and variable will only appear in the middle.
But now, the game time has come to the early 10 minutes. The blue and purple sides on the field are almost the same in terms of the number of heads and the number of defense towers and the overall team economy. There is no gap.
The head count is 4 to 4.
Looking at the battle panel, there is almost no one in the hands of the top lane ADC support on both sides.
All the head data…
It turned out that it almost all fell on the mid lane heroes of both sides.
The murlocs were 3/2/1.
Syndra has a 4/2/0 record.
The heads came from the mid lane heroes of both sides who chose a wave of roaming ganks, respectively, and got the harvest in the top lane and the bottom lane respectively, and as for their second death...
It was because at about 8 minutes of the game time, Tidal Sea Spirit and the Dark Head of State had another solo fight on the middle route.
It was another head swap that almost stunned everyone present.
"Equally equal... Really equal—"
The Legend players who were watching the game murmured unconsciously.
Many other team members subconsciously nodded in agreement.
However, there were several coaches and team leaders with slightly solemn expressions on their faces. They exchanged glances with each other and communicated in low voices:
"not that simple… "
"Personal operation and reaction speed..."
"Phoenix, seems to have been suppressed a bit."
"That Syndra from 006... so fast!"
…
Fifteen minutes after the game time, the early match-up phase is almost over, and the solo duel between the mid laners of the two sides is almost over.
The rest of the highlights are relatively few.
It is nothing more than the overall confrontation between the two legions, the application of tactics and the tacit cooperation.
At this point-
As an outsider of the temporary sparring, Lin Feng, who controls the blue side mid laner Syndra, will undoubtedly suffer some losses.
After all, he is not like the old friend and opponent opposite him. As the mid-single captain of the Legend team, he knows the players of his club team like the back of his hand, and it is easier to coordinate with the commander.
Therefore, after entering the middle of the game, the blue team will inevitably start to lose a little bit in various small-scale team battles.
20 minutes.
The economic gap between the two sides on the field widened by nearly 4,000.
The head count becomes 6 to 9.
Someone's dark leader also died again, and the record data became 5/3/1.
Many of the Legend players who were watching the game couldn't help but be in high spirits. If this rhythm goes on, basically their captain's purple side will have a solid victory!
However, on the side of the Purple Army on the field, Phoenix's face in front of the computer screen was still not at all relaxed.
Instead, he became more focused and dignified.
