For Team Snake, this game is not just about regaining the match point.
More importantly, TheKing is back with a bang!
In the first three games between Snake and IM, their strengths were almost equal, and IM even had the upper hand at one point.
However, after The King returned, the situation was completely reversed.
The overwhelming victory reminded people of the playoffs, when the powerful Snake won three games in a row and swept IM out.
Afterwards, TheKing was injured and missed two weeks .
Anyone who watched the games during these two weeks could see how much Snake was struggling.
One factor is that the opponents are all strong teams, but the more crucial thing is that TheKing, the soul of the team, is not there.
After this game, TheKing’s importance to the Snake team was too obvious.
Only TheKing can lead this Snake team to play at such a suffocating rhythm!
…
" 12-0-4, the male swordsman's data is amazing, TheKing won the MVP of this game without any dispute!"
Miller said with an excited smile on his face: "I was really surprised by TheKing. I never thought that he could play the role of savior despite missing two weeks of games. Moreover, this performance is too good!"
Jide said seriously, "Yes, if it wasn't for the obvious injury, you really wouldn't know he was playing with an injury. He missed two weeks of competition. I heard from Snake that TheKing has been training less due to the injury."
“I never expected that after his sudden appearance, he would be able to make the transition so seamlessly.”
Wang Duoduo said sincerely: "Actually, this is easy to explain."
"It is precisely because TheKing has been training hard, through the cold and hot seasons, that he has been able to maintain a high sensitivity to the game. Even if he misses a period of time, it will not have any impact."
"The King's success definitely didn't happen overnight."
"The two sides are tied at 2-2. The pressure is on IM's side."
…
The commentators were right, the pressure was indeed on IM's side.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire IM backstage was quite heavy.
Before the game, Coach IM was very excited, but his mood changed with the game.
From excitement, snickering, confusion, surprise, disbelief, to now some doubt about life.
That guy, how on earth did he do that?!
In the impression of Coach IM, there has never been a professional player like TheKing.
Being entrusted with a mission in a time of crisis, saving the team with injuries, and creating miracles sounds exciting, but for e-sports, this is really, really difficult!
But, that guy, right before his eyes, not only did it, but did it impeccably!
Coach IM shook his head vigorously, trying to stop thinking about those things.
"cheer up!"
"This is the most difficult time for IM. I know everyone is very tired, but we have to grit our teeth and finish the last game."
"We only have one belief now, and that is to play well in the next game."
"Having fought to this point, we must not leave any regrets!"
“…”
After some consolation from the IM uniform team, AJ, Jinjiao and others cheered up.
Everyone rubbed their sore and stiff eyes, rubbed their hands together, and tried their best to cheer themselves up.
The energy consumption of playing ten professional games in one day is really huge.
…
On Snake's side, the atmosphere was quite different.
After a game, I felt like I had found back everything I had lost in the previous two weeks.
"Brother Hao, how is your hand?"
"no problem."
"Come, Brother Hao, drink some water."
"good."
"Brother Hao, are your shoulders sore? I'm a tiger, can I give you a massage?"
"Thank you, that's really not necessary."
“…”
Next to the water dispenser, Tank looked confused.
Although he had the intention to stab her in the back, now even he had to admit it.
In the last game, TheKing was really outstanding.
In just over twenty minutes, he beat IM, who he thought was difficult to beat, and made it flee in panic, not to mention a hero like the male knife.
Tank also saw the scene where the male knife used his blind vision to avoid the spider's cocoon, and he was shocked at the time.
That reaction is just like cheating.
Is this something a wounded person can do?
Another thing, Tank knew very well that TheKing hadn't trained much these days.
How did he achieve such a seamless transition?
Is it true that a lot of training, or even ranking all night long, is really useful?
Tank's mind was a mess, even metaphysical.
He looked at the thermos on the table with eyes full of suspicion.
Sofm standing next to him was just as confused as him.
He even began to waver in his own ninja way...well, the way of the jungler.
…
Soon, the fifth game between the two sides began.
The time now is almost 10 o'clock in the evening.
Normally, for safety reasons, the audience at the scene should be evacuated.
However, many viewers were reluctant to leave.
This round of bubble matches had so many unexpected situations that it was truly legendary.
People were excited, wondering if the miracle would happen again.
The staff who were observing the data backstage also found that the number of people watching the game at this moment had suddenly increased dramatically.
This is not difficult to explain.
Since the fourth game, news that TheKing was playing with injuries has been spread to major e-sports related forums.
The topic is very popular.
The appearance and performance of the male swordsman in the last game amazed a large number of people!
…
Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, the competition started again.
Snake was on the blue side in the fifth game. Li Hao once again picked the Ice Girl in his last two picks.
In this game, he didn't even have to exert much effort, but he already gained an advantage in the bottom lane and used the flash of the Golden Horned Wheel Lady in the early laning phase.
Although everyone in IM took a deep breath, they were really too tired.
And what about Snake?
They were just in a BO5 match, and with the big win just now, their morale was even higher.
The players' fatigue caused them to lose concentration and perform poorly.
After Li Hao's Ice Girl successfully captured the enemy several times, the IM duo was directly imprisoned.
Snake then made various ganks and took the bottom lane tower in less than 10 minutes.
The pace of this game is still very fast.
Just over 25 minutes later, Snake was leading by 10,000 gold.
Avodiless wanted to steal the Baron, but not only did he fail, he got a buy one get one free.
After the two high grounds were broken one after another, the five people in the IM player seat already knew their fate.
In the 28th minute, Snake broke the third high ground.
IM did not retreat anymore and fought desperately with Snake, but was eventually wiped out on the high ground .
When the old crystal exploded, AJ let out a long sigh.
Everyone took off their headphones, feeling an indescribable tiredness.
For the IM team, their 2016 season has come to an end.
"Congratulations to Snake! But let's also give applause to IM, they are a tenacious team!"
“…”
Many people have been condemning the competition system in the barrage and forums.
However, apart from alerting officials in the future, what has already happened is difficult to change.
Go to IM.
Everyone shook hands one by one.
AJ saw Li Hao's bruised hand up close. He was originally quite unwilling, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably touched.
Even with such an injury, he was still able to perform like that.
Speaking in pure Cantonese, the ancient handsome man whispered, "You surprise me. I hope your injury heals quickly."
Li Hao said sternly, "You guys also surprised me. IM has fought ten games in a row, otherwise it would be hard to say who will win today. If I had fought ten games in a row, I might not be as good as you."
After hearing what he said, AJ felt more at ease: "You were injured too. We lost in the playoffs too. It's not too unfair to lose to you guys."
“…”
The two shook hands vigorously again.
When Athena shook hands, she also saw the obvious bruises .
He had mixed emotions and found it a little hard to accept.
Athena's eyes quickly passed by and she avoided Li Hao's gaze.
When Li Hao's figure walked towards the stage, the five tired people in IM couldn't help but look up, turn sideways, or glance...
Looking at the back that is about to be illuminated by the stage lights.
