LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 454 Spectacular Match! Kshine vs. Faker!

At this moment, in the LPL commentary booth.

The three official commentators exchanged glances, their smiles deepening, and they started warming up the audience with their comments.

"Yes, that's right! Today's first match is such a heavyweight showdown!!"

"Kshine vs Faker! Putting everything else aside, their skills are definitely top-notch. Although it's an exhibition match, I'm sure it will be very exciting."

"Hey, I'm really curious now, which of their teammates has a higher rank?"

"Well... I feel like Captain might be a bit higher? As for Xiran, she probably doesn't play games much usually."

And just as the narrator was speaking.

The chat in the live stream was already packed with comments!
Compared to the restraint of the commentators, the comments section was completely unrestrained!
"Are they really going to be a husband-and-wife team?!"

"Damn, the fists know how to make the show interesting."

"I declare that Yao-ge has won!! His partner on one side is Xi-ran, but his partner on the other side isn't En-jing. He's won by a huge margin!"

"Upstairs, shrimp, and you also want pig's heart, right? (winking)"

"Yeah, you know what, why didn't Riot Games invite Eun-jung? If Eun-jung were on Faker's side, the show would be even more explosive!"

"Eun-jung is already married."

"Hilarious! Look at the screen, the contrast is so stark! Yao is next to a beautiful girlfriend, while Lao Li is next to a bearded guy, hahaha!"

Just like the comments said, the director had already shown shots of the contestants' seats on both sides on the big screen.

On the left is the blue team, Faker's group, and on the right is the Wang Yao group.

The Captain next to Faker is a guy from Oceania. He's tall, has curly hair, and a rugged face. The two of them sitting together look like they're from completely different worlds.

On the other hand, let's look at Wang Yao's side.

Almost all the viewers subconsciously thought of four words: a perfect couple!

Both of them are very good-looking, and sitting together is a feast for the eyes!
The contrast between these two combinations is striking!
Meanwhile, at the EDG base, far across the ocean.

Meiko, Factory Manager, Holy Gun Bro, and a few others were sitting around the computer watching the live stream.

"Tsk tsk." Meiko shook her head and chuckled, "Do you think Brother Li will break down?"

Saint Gun shrugged: "Anyway, if I were in that situation, I'd be mentally unstable."

If I had to describe it, one side is a beautiful female partner, and the other is a wild beast.
Anyone who went up there would probably feel quite stifled.

At this moment, on the scene.

"Alright! The match officially begins. Both sides will now proceed with the ban/pick phase!"

Miller shouted, "Blue side, Faker banned Draven first, while red side banned Syndra!"

The doll stroked its chin and analyzed, "Both sides are very targeted, banning the opponent's favorite solo heroes."

It is worth mentioning that.

This 2V2 tournament will not use Summoner's Rift, but Howling Abyss!

That's right, it's the chaotic battle map commonly used in solo matches!
So essentially, this 2V2 competition is just a solo match where each player has a "burden" on their side.

soon.

On the field, the subsequent bans for both sides were also announced.

Faker opted to ban Camille and Caitlyn.

On Wang Yao's side, he continued to ban Cassiopeia and the recently released champion Neeko.

At this moment, in the players' seats.

"How do we choose?" Xi Ran asked with great interest, her mouse hovering over the hero pool.

It was quite obvious that there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.

how to say.

Who would have thought that she, a player who has been in the Platinum rank for many years, would one day play against Faker!
What if we win!
Wang Yao, watching from the side, found it amusing and said leisurely, "Choose whichever you like."

As he spoke, confidence shone in his eyes: "In the end, we'll always win."

"You said it."

"Yeah, that's what I said."

Xi Ran then turned her gaze back to the screen, hesitated for a long time, and finally narrowed her eyes slightly, pointing her finger at a certain hero's head: "How about he?"

Wang Yao looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately understood. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll choose the other one."

next second.

Both positions on the red team are locked!

At the same time, their signature lines also rang out almost simultaneously.

Let's dance.

How could I refuse an invitation to dance?

Yes.

Reverse Feather - Xia, Illusionary Feather - Luo!

"Oh!!"

Miller's eyes widened instantly: "Xayah and Rakan! What a classic duo!!"

Beside her, after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, the doll blurted out, "Wow, you can even pick a pair of heroes like this?!"

Of course, they weren't the only ones to react.

At the scene, the audience below the stage cheered and whistled all over the place!

The chat in the official live stream room was also buzzing with excitement!

"??? I never expected to see such a public display of affection while just coming to watch a game."

"Seriously, are you guys here to compete or to flaunt your love?!"

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

"Choosing Xayah and Rakan is nothing. If you're so capable, let your sister-in-law play Xayah, and Yao-ge can play Rakan!"

"Wow, how can the hero selection be so perfectly matched?"

"."

In the commentary box.

Remember to clear your throat lightly to steer the conversation back on track:
"Well, I have to say, this combination is quite strong. In this 'one god, one bad' mode, I think picking champions based on the bottom lane duo strategy is actually quite good."

Beside them, the Haier brothers also snapped out of their daze.

"Yes, yes, both sides will definitely make Faker and Kshine the main players, so picking an AD + support combination is indeed very reasonable."

"Then let's see how Faker responds."

On the field.

After Wang Yao and Xi Ran confirmed their choices.

The blue team is on this side.

Under the camera's lens, Faker couldn't help but laugh, even raising his hand to scratch his hair. He exchanged a glance with the guy from Oceania next to him, and both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Just like the comments posted by the audience.

He came here to compete.

Instead, I was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food!
Moreover, it's the kind of food you absolutely have to eat!

However, they quickly decided on their hero.

"Tsar and Pantheon! Wow, to be honest, this combination actually looks pretty strong."

Miller looked at the big screen and analyzed, "Pantheon provides control and tankiness, while Azir provides sustained damage. In fact, it can be seen as a bot lane duo combination."

At the same time this group was selected, the comments section was filled with amusement.

"Alright, alright, Yao-ge is choosing a husband-and-wife team, so you guys should just go for Tsar and Sand Soldier, right?"

"Holy crap, this is so true to reality!"

"Brother Li: Follow my orders, shoot wherever I point!"

"Hilarious! The Tsar and Pantheon (×), the Tsar and his sand soldiers (√)!"

"This show is perfect! It was worth staying up all night to watch the game!"

"."

And just as the barrage of comments was flooding the screen.

In the commentary booth, the three official commentators had already begun their serious analysis.

"In that case, I think the strength of the two teams is actually not that different."

Doll chimed in, "It still depends on how both sides play their parts."

Remember added, "However, the support players on both sides are definitely not that skilled, which means they not only have to operate the controls, but also have to take charge of commanding."

"It's a temporary combination, so this is when the team's ability to cooperate on the spot is put to the test."

In conclusion, the lineups for both sides are now complete.

Blue side Faker + Captain VS Red side Wang Yao + Xiran!

Tsar + Pantheon VS Xayah + Rakan!
Furthermore, the summoner spells on both sides are quite identical.

The main carry uses Flash Barrier, while the support uses Exhaust and Ignite!

Both parties then entered the loading screen.

Off the field, fans on both sides started cheering, but it was different from a regular match.

This time, the confrontation wasn't as intense; everyone was more focused on creating a lively atmosphere or doing something funny.

"Yao-ge!! Go for it!! Win with your wife!"

"Go, Li Ge!! Win this match and show the world that showing off your love doesn't end well!!"

Some of the guys in the front row even shouted excitedly, "Win this match and make Eun-jung change her mind!!"

They didn't seem to be there to cheer for Faker; they looked more like troublemakers.
Amidst this joyful atmosphere, the entire venue was filled with laughter and celebration.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" As the commentator's excited voice rang out, the loading screen ended!
The four of them entered the Howling Abyss together!

Unlike the regular free-for-all mode, the rules for this 2v2 and solo matches are the same: both players start at level one.

Also.

The rules for winning and losing are similar to those for solo matches, except that the "first blood" in "first blood, one tower, one hundred kills" has been changed to "two blood".

in short.

The first team to get two kills, or the first team to reach 100 CS and take down a tower, will win the game!

At this moment, in the scene...

Right from the start, the four people on both sides stood in the middle of the field and exchanged expressions.

You cry like Amumu, and I give you a thumbs up.

In short, it's all about give and take.

Then, things get interesting.

As the two sides were locked in combat, Wang Yao suddenly took a small step forward without making a sound, and then unleashed a Q skill!

At the absolute limit, it hit Faker's Azir right in the face!

This completely caught Faker off guard, and he quickly took two steps back.

"Hey, I got Q!"

Miller shrugged and laughed, "Wang Yao says he doesn't want to play games with your expressions anymore; hitting someone is more fun."

The narrator, Wawa, chuckled: "To be honest, this is really cheeky, it's not very ethical!"

In the lower left corner of the large screen, in the camera's view.

Faker looked a little confused, scratching his head again, clearly embarrassed.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"A masterpiece of the century, I scratch my head in disbelief."

"Hilarious, Yao-ge really knows how to make the show interesting."

Brother Li: No, why aren't you playing by the rules?!

"Haha, this one Q has ruined our friendship."

"Wow, this Q is so profitable!"

Let alone the bullet comments.

Even Xiran, who was sitting next to Wang Yao, couldn't help but chuckle: "Why did you hit him? Weren't we supposed to show our expressions?"

Wang Yao smiled faintly: "This is what we call catching someone off guard and attacking them when they are unprepared."

In short, after a brief hiccup, the minions arrived on the field, and the battle between the two sides officially began!
One level.

Faker's Azir and Wang Yao's Xayah were both probing each other with their positioning.

Both players have a range of 525 yards. One player is trying to use Sand Soldiers to last-hit minions while suppressing the enemy and getting free kills. The other player is trying to avoid Sand Soldiers while chasing down the enemy and attacking them!

After a struggle, their attention became increasingly focused.

At that moment, they turned around and found that the two support players had started pulling each other's hair!
"Hey! A fight has broken out!! Pantheon uses W to jump onto Rakan's face! Rakan counters with W, making a grand entrance and lifting Pantheon up! Both carries start to follow up with damage! Exhaust is used! Are we going to fight this to the bitter end?!"

Quite abruptly, a fierce battle unfolded just like that.

Even more outrageous is that, perhaps because the main DPS on both sides were positioned too well and the distance was not enough, both sides' support skills were thrown at the enemy support as if they were free!
"Xayah is carrying Lethal Tempo! A level 1 Azir can't out-damage her! Captain, are you going to fight her head-on?!"

Miller explained at lightning speed: "And this situation is actually quite awkward. The Tsar used up his Sand Soldiers while clearing the creeps, so he only has one Sand Soldier left, which isn't enough for follow-up damage!"

"Pantheon flash! Xayah flash to follow up with damage!!"

The words fell.

On the field, a system notification suddenly appeared!
"First Blood!"

In the scene, Pantheon's body lies on the ground in despair, with two feathers stuck in the ground in front of him.

On the other hand, although Luo was also severely injured, Azir had no skills available, so chasing him wouldn't result in any kills, and he had no choice but to give up.

"First Blood!! Xayah got it!"

"In that case, Faker's side is in some danger. If another player dies, they're going to lose!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

It seems no one expected that the first blood would be born in this way!
how to say.

Originally, everyone thought it would be a long and drawn-out battle between two top players, showcasing their skills, with the one with superior technique ultimately gaining the advantage. However,...
This is so damn plain and unadorned!
According to one comment:

"Damn it, isn't this just like our Bronze rank? They start fighting right away, and only the survivors are allowed to finish off the enemy!"

"If all else fails, let this guy step down and I'll take his place! I'll be Brother Li's teammate!"

Las Vegas, USA.

Esports Arena (esports venue).

The atmosphere was filled with joy.

Normally, after the first blood is drawn in a match, there should be a cheer.

However, this time is different!
How should I put it? It doesn't feel like we're watching a competition; it feels more like watching a bronze-level match, or something similar to when we play casually.
To put it simply, it's like the beauty of two chickens pecking at each other!
But think about it.

If this were to turn into a solo match, with professional players showcasing their skills and competing on every detail, then the meaning of the 2v2 entertainment format would be lost.

The reason the organizers assigned you a 'teammate' was precisely for the sake of creating this kind of entertainment!
"cough"

In the commentary booth, Miller cleared his throat and began his commentary in a serious tone:
"In that case, the blue team seems to be in some danger. If Xayah gets the kill, they will be even less able to fight back. They may have to change their strategy and focus on last-hitting minions."

"Yep."

The doll nodded in agreement: "Anyway, there's more than one way to win a game. If you can win in last-hitting, that works too."

Before he could finish speaking, I remembered to remind him:

"But...it seems like the red side is also ahead in last-hitting."

After he finished speaking, the commentary booth fell silent for a moment.

After a long pause, the child finally spoke up awkwardly, immediately changing the subject:
"This is where the fundamentals come into play, and I've always felt that this is where Kshine is strongest. You see, whether it's last-hitting or positioning, you almost never see him make a mistake."

"Ah."

Miller nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "After all, it's the first championship he won as an AD player, so his fundamentals are definitely top-notch."

While several people were talking.

On the field, the situation has changed dramatically.

From the moment the first blood was drawn until both sides returned to base to replenish their supplies and then left again, the blue team was completely at a disadvantage!
We can't win.

Even when trying to finish off an enemy, they are at a disadvantage.

For them, the only remaining chance is to reach level six and find a way to focus fire on and kill Wang Yao's Xia.

Then the remaining Luo couldn't cause any trouble, and they managed to get two kills back, turning the tide of the game!

"Don't rush, wait for my instructions before going up."

Faker spoke up.

The guy from Oceania next to me immediately nodded, even turning his head to make a gesture, grinning and showing off his white teeth: "OK, don't worry."

Faker was speechless for a moment.

If you were really that obedient, you wouldn't have rushed in recklessly just now, and you wouldn't be in such a passive position now!

However, he didn't complain about it.

That's the official rule.

They deliberately give you a weak teammate, so it's normal for you to get dragged down and lose.

The game continues on the field.

As both sides pushed the lane back and forth, their levels gradually increased.

Finally, I've reached Level 6!

"Both sides reached level six one after the other! Faker's side is still playing very cautiously, but Kshine's CS has already reached 80! This is dangerous!"

"There are at most three more waves of minions left. The blue team needs to make a final decision!"

The narrator's tone began to rise.

Correspondingly, the situation on the field became tense.

As another wave of minions was pushed forward, Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly: "The enemy might be about to engage, we should prepare to counterattack."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Ran's expression immediately tensed up, and she gripped the mouse even tighter.

Wang Yao found it somewhat amusing: "It's alright, they'll definitely target me. Just counter Pantheon, and we'll take him down."

It's difficult to counter Faker's Azir, but it's a sure thing to counter Pantheon!

This is an inevitable choice resulting from the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

They could easily focus fire on Pantheon, while the opposing team would have to engage on Wang Yao if they wanted to turn the tide!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Faker and his partner's expressions became extremely focused.

"Ready, ultimate move! Use it behind them!"

Just as the minion wave advanced one step further, Faker suddenly gave a command!

The Oceania guy next to him didn't hesitate either. He immediately pressed his ultimate move in front of him, looking like he had completely given up thinking and had become a sand soldier under the command of the Tsar!

"It's here! The blue team's last-ditch effort! This is their only chance to turn the tide!"

Amidst the eloquent voice of the narrator.

In the scene, Pantheon leans forward, and the Dragon Slayer skin's special effects appear, with a pair of dragon wings suddenly unfolding!

Then, he soared into the sky!
