Glory [e-sports]

Fortunately, Asleep showed mercy and didn’t ban the knights.

The knights were a relatively miscellaneous profession. It had damage dealing talents like the death knight who could go up to the top-lane and play jungler, and it also had good support talents like the holy paladin who could tank and heal.

There were a total of four ban positions. Three had been used on support classes, so there weren’t many choices remaining.

Cong Yi could pick first. He naturally didn’t back down and locked in the holy paladin.

Bai Cai’s lips twitched.

Wei Xiao comforted him, “What are you afraid of? We don’t need a holy paladin.”

Brother Cai’s inner thoughts: “I’m really f*cking scared, I really f*cking want to use it, I really f*cking…” But on the surface: “Mm.” There was a hint of panic under his calm voice.

Picking talents in their doubles game went by very quickly.

Cong Yi took the holy paladin, and Asleep took the berserker thief.

Brother Cai’s mouth was still twitching as he took the medicine warlock, and Wei Xiao locked in the immortal thief.

Based on the line-up…

FTW’s two talents could be hammered into little brothers by 3U’s holy berserker combination.

Bai Cai couldn’t help but use his lips to mouth out: What are you doing taking the immortal thief? Isn’t the shadow thief attractive to you?

Wei Xiao translated for him, “Hey, I wanted to take the shadow thief, but Brother Cai said no, because he’s going to carry this game.”

Bai Cai: “………………”

The other side’s God Yi was a god level translator, but you’re like a damned translator from hell!

Fortunately, Asleep hadn’t encountered Wei Xiao in his childhood. Otherwise, he would’ve trained up a level ten bratty mouth and could even become a commentator!

The scrolling comments were filled with:

“666666”

“Waiting to see the medicine warlock’s badass moves!”

“I saw it before when they played against OD in the winter training camp, God Bai was super handsome then!”

Bai Cai swept an eye over this ‘super handsome’––damn it, his head could be broken, but he couldn’t lose his dignity, and his reputation couldn’t be destroyed even once!

Doubles and solo games were very different.

In solo games, there was only yourself, and the person alone was at ease, playing without fetters and doing everything by themselves.

However, there were fetters in a doubles game. Teammates were tied together, and they could be either a powerful support or a stumbling block.

How much one plus one added up to depended on the tacit understanding between the two players in the field.

In fact, the audience was just watching the excitement. They even felt that this was a broadened solo between two people and didn’t care about the cooperation between them. They just wanted to see a solo show between four people.

Only experts could see the difference.

TPT base.

Eurostar snorted, “Asleep really loves the berserker thief.”

In fact, the berserker thief wasn’t very suitable for doubles because of its passive. It was more suited for playing in team fights because only by harvesting kills would it be able to build up its passive effect and deal out maximum damage.

A doubles game only had two people, and they couldn’t stack up a maximum passive.

Fu Li: “He feels that an unequal contest brings no honor to the victor.”

Eurostar: “Does he have to go so far? Brother Cai and Quiet have been playing together for many years.”

Fu Li: “A doubles team with no competition experience is vulnerable.”

Eurostar thought about his own captain’s pile of data models and shut up, “Alright then.”

His captain was right, and he was right even when he was wrong. In any case, he definitely wouldn’t refute him as the nightmare of having been dragged over to stare at pieces of data for hours one after another was still right in front of his eyes!

Both sides started off quite steadily. Wei Xiao and Asleep each occupied one jungle zone, and they killed their creeps safely and calmly.

In the middle were the two supports controlling the soldier lines, and this area was more exciting.

The Brother Cai who was carrying the expectations from the audience chose his dark form at the start of the game. In this form, the medicine warlock could deal considerable damage, and he could clear out the soldier lines with a few attacks.

Bai Cai asked Wei Xiao, “I’ll take the lane soldiers?”

Generally speaking, the support players in a doubles game wouldn’t fight for farm. They would try their best to guard the soldiers and wait for their teammates to come and harvest the gold.

Wei Xiao: “Not just the lane soldiers, even the kills are all yours.”

Bai Cai: “……”

Would you f*cking die if you didn’t purposely look for a fight!

Brother Cai didn’t even have to look at the scrolling comments to guess that there must be a lot of people sending comments––

“Go, Brother Cai, kill God Yi!”

“Brother Cai, go! First Blood is yours!”

Bai Cai’s idol burden weighed ten tons. He really started to play seriously.

Kill Cong Yi?

It wasn’t impossible.

He glanced at the minimap. The upper jungle zone was Wei Xiao’s, so Asleep must be in the lower jungle zone.

The immortal thief and berserker thief killed jungle creeps at about the same rate. Wei Xiao was already chopping at the stone man, so Asleep should be as well, and might even be a little slower. He’d already pressed their side’s lane soldiers over, and Asleep would definitely come over to eat the soldiers before going back to continue killing jungle creeps. By the time Wei Xiao arrived at the last jungle creep to the left, Asleep should have just started fighting the second jungle zone.

This was an opportunity!

He was already level two, while the holy paladin was still level one because he hadn’t eaten the farm from the lane.

A level two medicine warlock had two damage dealing skills. He just needed to first use the second skill, which could enchant, and then follow it up with the first skill infusion, and then he would definitely be able to maim the holy paladin who didn’t yet have any gear. At the time, Wei Xiao, who would’ve finished with his jungle creeps by then, could dash under the tower and kill Cong Yi!

Brother Cai took a deep breath and stared at the screen.

It was impossible for every professional player to not think, but he’d almost never strategized as comprehensively as he was thinking now.

Was it okay? Could it work?

People who didn’t like to make decisions would often experience this kind of difficulty, but it was often this half a second that resulted in missed opportunities.

F*ck!

He was going to do it!

To hell with being afraid, Laozi would rather die trying than to lose face, and if he cowered even before fighting, Beast Wei would laugh at him for the rest of their lives.

“Old Wei,” Brother Cai walked forward, infusing himself as he notified Wei Xiao, “Hurry up.”

There was no need to say more. Wei Xiao understood. “’Kay.”

The medicine warlock had two forms. The light form was a holy doctor who saved the dying and healed the wounded. Even its clothes were snow white and filled with compassion. The dark form was quite different; the white clothes were stained with blood, and traces of poison could be seen wafting off the fabric. Its entire body was gloomy and ghostly.

At this time, Bai Cai was in his dark form. The special effect around his character after the enchantment was a strange black fog. His light wand turned into a demon wand, and it was like a poisonous snake that had suddenly awakened when it shot out at the holy paladin!

The medicine warlock’s first skill was infusion. It could absorb an opponent’s blood, and also leave behind a corrupt poison that corroded armor.

Cong Yi’s holy paladin had blonde hair and blue eyes and glowed everywhere. After being infected with the corrupt poison, he was like a holy angel who’d been defiled by the devil.

He wasn’t anxious or hurried. He used his first skill, holy grace, and recovered quite a lot of health.

But Bai Cai didn’t have any thought of retreating after this first encounter. After hitting the enemy with his skill, he took advantage of the cooldown reduction that gave him to use a second enchantment, then tossed out another infusion.

The scrolling comments were lively, “Not bad, these stacks of corruption were built up beautifully!”

“Very on point. Who could have known that Brother Cai’s hand speed was so fast?”

Corruption could be stacked, but the key was to grasp the right time point as the margin of error there was only a few tenths of a second. If the timing was off, they would lose the stacking effect, but once it stacked up, it dealt double the damage!

When Cong Yi saw that the holy paladin’s health was decreasing abruptly, he controlled his hero to retreat beneath the tower.

Bai Cai: “Old Wei!”

Wei Xiao: “Got it!”

After clearing the last jungle creep, the immortal thief directly shifted into the enemy’s face and charged at Cong Yi while tanking the damage from the tower.

The holy paladin who only had a third of its health left couldn’t fight back. A whole set of skills smashed right into his face, and he instantly suffered heavy damage.

System Announcement––

God Of Wealth killed Loyal Until Death.

The audience who were watching the live broadcast were all sporting question marks over their heads, “How come the kill went to Brother Cai?”

“What’s going on, didn’t my God Q go over to pick up the kill?”

“What did I miss?”

Fu Li spoke slowly, “Corruption.”

Eurostar was surprised, “Quiet can’t have done it on purpose, right?”

Fu Li’s dark eyes flashed behind his glasses, “If it’s intentional, then FTW’s new jungler’s control over health volume and damage is really amazing.”

Someone in the scrolling comments finally saw what had happened, “Oh my god, it was the medicine warlock’s corruption!”

“This, this… could it be that the immortal thief calculated the damage and left the last sliver of health for the medicine warlock?”

“He couldn’t have calculated it so precisely.”

“Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!”

“I’m sorry twin junglers sisters, let me first climb over the wall for one second. The Xiao Cai CP is really sweet!”

Why had Cong Yi’s death been credited to Bai Cai? It was because the last bit of fatal damage had come from the medicine warlock’s corruption.

Corruption dealt continuous damage. Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t enough to kill the holy paladin, but the immortal thief had charged beneath the enemy tower to deal a bunch of damage with its skills, pushing down the holy paladin’s health to the limit. The last drop of health was swallowed up by corruption, and the system determined that the kill belonged to Bai Cai.

Brother Cai also broke out of his reverie and looked towards Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao was now an emotion rainbow fart blowing machine, “Brother Cai is amazing, the damage was just right, handsome!”

Bai Cai: “……………”

Did this old beast really let him have the kill?

The Brother Cai who’d just taken Wei Xiao’s kill was a little nervous:

Could one pluck a tiger’s whiskers without having to pay a price?

Damn it, Brother Cai sat up straight. He’d only played this seriously during last year’s global finals!

After both sides reached level six, the battle situation gradually heated up and became white hot. Although 3U’s Cong Yi had died at the start of the game, and Bai Cai had taken First Blood, this wasn’t enough to determine the winners and losers.

Even if Cong Yi died ten times, he would still have value as a support player.

Bai Cai’s farm lead didn’t necessarily mean that he could win against Asleep.

FTW’s opening advantage was quickly wiped out.

Lu Feng, who’d originally still been working, had already set down his notebook and focused wholly on the match.

“Ding-ling.” It was the phone in the room.

Lu Feng was a little surprised. He picked it up, “Hello.”

The front desk spoke in standard Mandarin, “Hello, Mr. Lu, I’m very sorry about disturbing you so late at night. There’s a Mister Yuan here to visit. May I ask if he is your guest?”

Lu Feng replied affirmatively and gave authorization.

Yuan Ze hadn’t come on his own. He’d also brought Gary as well as a late night snack.

When Lu Feng opened the door, Old G was very excited, “Close, how’s your shoulder? Can you move it? Hey, hey, hey, be careful, your shoulder is very valuable, don’t break it…” If it was broken, then there would no longer be a great demon king!

Lu Feng stepped to the side, “It’s not that serious.”

Old G came to the main point, “Then, can you solo?”

Lu Feng was merciless, “No.”

Old G wilted.

Yuan Ze’s eyes were sharp. He noticed the projection screen right away, “Quiet is streaming?”

Lu Feng: “Yes.”

Old G noticed it as well, “A doubles game, these IDs… is it the third place from last year?”

Old G’s Chinese hadn’t been learnt in vain. He recognized the words ‘Can’t Sleep’.

Yuan Ze understood more than he did. He spoke thoughtfully, “Quiet’s state isn’t quite right.”

He really was worthy of being an old pro. He could see the awkwardness in the battle situation with just a glance.

Lu Feng adjusted the projection screen so that it aimed at the left wall where the rest area of the suite was.

They sat down. Gary was very hungry and tore open the late night meal, eating as he watched the game.

In this doubles game, FTW’s cooperation seemed to be lacking. They played messily, and those who were familiar with them could tell at a glance––

FTW’s support player was very different today.

L&P and FTW had played quite a few training matches together, and he was very clear about Bai Cai’s style.

Mild, cautious, and he could even be called timid.

His performance was mediocre and unremarkable.

But now, this medicine warlock dared to fight, dared to kill, and was incredibly fierce. It had an explosively strong sense of existence, and nobody could ignore him.

Yuan Ze figured out the reason, “You’ve really picked up a treasure.” He wasn’t speaking about Bai Cai, but rather the Quiet who was guiding Bai Cai.

Lu Feng glanced at him, “I didn’t pick him up.”

Yuan Ze: “Ah?”

Lu Feng spoke calmly, “It was destiny.”

Yuan Ze: “…………………………….F*ck.”

The author has something to say:

God Yuan, you can come empty handed for dinner.

xiin: because LF will make sure you’re fed with dog food~

apricot: i feel like Bai Cai. whenever Quiet opens his mouth, i want to scream too. translator from hell indeed lol
