Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

not weak in laning ability and a jungler who could carry relatively well.

That was because no matter how much the other party shook, the top-laner would definitely be a strong top-laner.
Choosing a top-laner with poor laning ability would directly cross the line and there would be nothing left to play.

However, the problem was that other than the three top laner heroes that had already been snatched away by FV Team, the other top laner heroes could only ensure that the lane would not collapse but could not guarantee that they would take over the competition in the later stages.

Therefore, the jungler could no longer choose tools but heroes with a certain level of carrying ability, or else it would become a shocking five to zero lineup.
The coach would definitely be scolded to the skies if he lost this lineup.

FRY team’s coach immediately directed the team members to take down an alternative that had an advantage in the early and useless in late stages according to his own ideas.
He also obtained a jungler who was relatively weaker in the early stages but could take over the competition when he developed.

However, FV Team’s last move was to choose a hero that they had never seen before in this world’s finals: Explosive Artisan.

This hero did not have any special advantages.
He could just push the laning phase and dismantle the tower relatively quickly.
Its development period was relatively long, and it could not deal any damage without the equipment advantage.
Therefore, it was a mid-to late-stage hero, and it could only play in the middle lane.

Coach FRY frowned and stared at the screen in confusion.

What did that mean?

The final hero they selected could only play mid so the roles of the previous heroes were basically clear: the Fierce Gale Martial God would be a top laner, the Sickle of Death would play jungler, and the Ancient Lava Tree would support.

FRY’s coach confirmed the lineup of both sides and felt that their lineup should be able to play.

The top lane, mid lane, and bottom lane were all 50-50 against each other.
The other party had an advantage in terms of jungling, but as long as they passed the early stages steadily, there would be a clear gap in the output of both sides when their jungler became stronger in the mid to late stages.
Then, the scales of victory would tilt towards FRY.

FRY’s coach relaxed slightly and patted his jungler on the shoulder.
“All the best, as long as we hold on in the early stages, we’ll definitely win in the later stages!”

…

The first round of the competition officially began with everyone’s eyes glued!

The bystanders could not tell that the two teams were scheming against each other because they had chosen a lineup that had never appeared in the top eight or top four.

Many heroes were unpopular heroes which had not had such a high exposure in so many competitions before, the finals therefore gave everyone a refreshing feeling.

Most of the audience felt that FRY’s side was stable, because FV’s lineup seemed to be a little too much!

The middle lane was a hero who developed slowly, had short legs, and could die in a single grab.
The only characteristic was that it could push the tower faster.

The archer at the bottom lane was more aggressive in the early stages.
They would not be able to win if they were to delay a little.

The most important thing was that in order to destroy FRY’s lineup, they snatched three top laners and got two of them to jungler and support positions.
The entire lineup was dazzling.

On the other hand, FRY’s strategic intentions were clearer.
They would develop steadily in the early stages, and in the mid stages, they would rely on the quick support from the mid-laner’s ult to gain some advantage.
In the later stages, they would directly crush and win.

The commentators were all worried for FV Team.

It was not that they wanted FV Team to win, but that they felt that FV Team’s lineup was too ridiculous.
They were worried that if they lost too badly, wouldn’t the viewing value of the finals be completely gone?

On the other hand, the bullet screen comments of the live-stream platform in China was completely different.

“Holy sh*t! Could this be the forced demolition variant from GOG?”

“It does seem to be the case when looking at this mid-laner.
Let’s see how to fight it later!”

“Are they really going to use GOG’s playstyles to play it? The wretched and forced demolition style against the global style? Are they going to directly break the opponent through the initial snowball game?”

“This is good.
This game is going to be explosives!”

“…I don’t understand what you guys are talking about since I don’t play GOG.
What is forced demolition? Can someone explain?”

It was New Year’s Eve today, a legal holiday.
Most people were on holiday, and GPL had already taken a break.
Thus, IOI’s global finals naturally attracted a large number of viewers.

Many viewers were gamers of GOG.
They came to watch the IOI finals because they had nothing to do.

Players who only played IOI could not tell, but these gamers who often watched GPL quickly recognized FV Team’s tactics.

In the GPL league, there were already teams that had tried to use the so-called “strong demolition” to fight against global traffic.

As for FV Team’s lineup selection, while the heroes were completely different from GOG, it obviously fit the definition of ‘strong demolition’!

The so-called “global style” was the support style.
After the mid-laner reached level six, he would use an ult to support his teammates, kill, and obtain resources.
Then, he would quickly roll a snowball.
After developing well, he could bring the line to pressure the enemy’s minions in the mid-laner and win the competition.

On the other hand, the choices of various teams were also different in the process of fighting global flows.
Some teams chose to use global flows to fight global flows.
They would mimic each other and we whoever was faster would support them.
Some teams chose to invade the lineup forcefully or force a lineup.
They would either directly destroy the other mid-laner in the early stage or capture the lone person in the middle stage.
