I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Chapter 109 Comforting My Crying Sister (5K)

Miller's uncontrollable emotions caused his exclamation to still echo in EDG's rest room.

Abu was panting heavily and furious!

"What's wrong with Miller?! Why is he trying to stir up trouble for the players?!"

It's important to understand that many viewers don't actually have their own judgment and often just listen to the commentators.

Miller has now directly named Meiko, which will immediately draw everyone's attention to her.

Even with Abu's limited understanding of the game, it's clear that Meiko's thinking was genuinely flawed this time.

But I can kiss my player, so why are you trying to stir up trouble for him?

However, at this moment, Nofe was nervously watching the team battle in the live stream.

Actually, after seeing that Alistar failed to follow up with crowd control, Nofe knew that this team fight was doomed.

If Meiko had chosen to Flash in and follow up with a double crowd control, Lulu wouldn't have been able to unleash her ultimate, and Kalista wouldn't have been able to use Flash either!

If Lulu and Kalista die, EDG can easily win this team fight.

The factory manager's performance today completely exceeded nofe's expectations.

He never expected that Clearlove, who used to be too afraid to enter the enemy team even when playing Sejuani, would dare to flash in and use his ultimate while playing Evelynn.

But League of Legends is a five-player game.

Individual heroism may appear in Summoner's Rift, but clearly not this time.

"Kalista leaped! Even Lulu was saved by Kalista's ultimate! Gnar was the first to fall, and Evelynn had nowhere to escape! Lucian tried to trade kills with Kalista, but was instead instantly killed by Lee Sin! EDG! This team fight is going to collapse!!"

The factory manager stared blankly at the gray screen.

His teammates fell one by one as he watched.

He moved the screen and looked at the spring.

There, the last spark of EDG's life is preserved—the Minotaur Chieftain.

The factory manager opened his mouth, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say anything.

He had held that position quite a few times before.

"Snake! They pulled off a perfect 4-0 team fight right in front of EDG's inhibitor turret! The gold difference between the two sides is just too huge. After failing to burst down Kalista, EDG has run out of options! Now only Alistar remains alive for EDG, and he can only watch helplessly as Snake pushes down their base!"

"Congratulations to Team Snake for taking the lead in this match!!"

After winning the match, Wang Ke breathed a sigh of relief. As he stood up, he looked at the EDG players' bench and his gaze fell on Clearlove.

The factory's performance today was quite unexpected.

The final flash into the fray almost made Wang Ke think he was going to lose.

Based on Wang Ke's understanding of factories, this factory was completely unfamiliar to him.

"The butterfly effect?"

Wang Ke muttered to himself.

"What are you muttering about?"

Song Wen tugged at Wang Ke.

"Get out of here, or those bastards will throw cans at your head."

When Wang Ke came to his senses, he subconsciously looked towards the audience and immediately felt countless angry gazes.

If looks could kill, Wang Ke and Song Wen would be riddled with holes by now.

Wang Ke followed Song Wen into the passageway and saw Song Wen turn his head and walk to the other side.

Where are you going?

"I just saw a female player from EDG crying very sadly, so I went to comfort her."

"You fucking come back here!"

EDG lounge.

Abu was holding a private meeting with Meiko outside the lounge.

Meiko's handling of the final team fight was indeed a bit too outrageous. He felt that Meiko's thinking had gone wrong, and he needed to have a private talk with him.

"Why didn't you participate in the last team fight? Clearlove's Evelynn flashed in to initiate, what were you afraid of?"

Hearing Abu's question, Meiko adjusted her glasses.

"I saw Kennen use his ultimate, so I thought I should dodge it first. Why did I still charge in when Kennen used his ultimate? Were I supposed to fight inside Kennen's ultimate?"

Hearing Mei Kou say such things, Abu became even more furious.

"You've really lost your mind! The factory manager activated his ultimate first, and then Kennen activated hiss! And that was an AD carry."

"Kennen, what are you afraid of? If you had followed up with your crowd control in that wave, we would have won that team fight!"

Meiko was still clearly in a daze, and upon hearing Abu's words, she began to ponder.

"Something's really wrong with you. Just tell me what's on your mind. I specifically asked you to come out because I was worried you'd be too embarrassed to say anything."

Hearing Abu's words, Meiko hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "I don't know. Towards the end, I didn't know what to do anymore. Clearlove kept telling me to go in, but how could I go in? I felt that several of the early teams were difficult to win, but I still went in anyway, and we lost every team fight. I just wanted to play it safe—but they wouldn't listen to me—"

Meiko's voice grew softer and softer, but Abu understood what she meant.

Previously, during the factory manager's rest time, it was Mei Kou who was in charge of the command.

Now that the factory manager is back, the two have clearly diverged in their thinking.

Meiko is used to her own style of play and thinking, and now she has to suddenly follow the factory manager's command, which is obviously difficult for her to adapt to in a short period of time.

This is actually a very common situation in professional teams.

Before Koro1 was benched, EDG had actually tried rotating Koro1 and Mouse in the game for a period of time.

In the eyes of many, rotating players seems to be a way to make the team more versatile.

Today I'm playing an aggressive top laner.

Tomorrow I'll be playing a blue-collar top laner.

The main strategy is to make your opponent guess what you're doing, or to play your cards according to their "needs".

However, in reality, changing a player in one position affects more than just that one position.

In professional matches, any tactic requires the entire team to cooperate.

Each player has their own habits and preferred playing style.

Frequent rotations, regardless of whether they cause trouble for the opposing team, will first and foremost cause considerable trouble for the team itself.

Now that the factory manager has returned to the field after such a long break, and his playstyle is slightly different from the factory manager his teammates are familiar with, it will definitely require some time to readjust.

"I really don't know, I'm a little dizzy from playing—"

As Mei Kou spoke, her glasses fogged up again as she lowered her head.

"Alright, stop crying, silly child."

A warm voice rang in Mei Kou's ears, making her feel a little better.

It seems that Abu is still able to understand himself.

He could feel a warm hand on his shoulder, giving him strength.

Abu looked in the direction of Meikou, his face filled with shock and confusion.

"What are you doing?!"

"Abu, you're really something. The child is still so young, why put so much pressure on him? Look at you, you've made him cry."

The inexplicable conversation startled Mei Kou. He subconsciously looked up and saw that Abu's two hands were still at his sides.

Whose hand was that on his shoulder?!

Mei Kou suddenly turned her head and saw Song Wenzheng looking at her with a grin.

This startled Mei Kou, who immediately turned to the side and took several steps back.

What are you doing?!

She was like a wronged wife who had her bed invaded by a thief in her sleep, but mistook him for her husband and then realized the size was wrong.

Seeing Mei Kou react so strongly, Song Wen sighed and helplessly withdrew his hand.

"Why are you so agitated? I'm not a virus."

What are you doing here?

Abu stepped in front of Mei Kou, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Seeing this, Song Wen couldn't help but laugh and said, "I went to take a dump and got lost. I happened to see Mei Kou crying, so I thought I'd come and comfort him. Why is he so hostile?"

Meiko suddenly stared at her shoulder!

"You brat!" Song Wen complained, "What do you mean by that? I patted your shoulder with my left hand, and when I wiped my butt—oh, sorry, I think I used my left hand too."

Abu, enraged, pointed at Song Wen and shouted, "Get out! You're not welcome here. Don't make me call security!"

Seeing Abu getting angry at him, Song Wen also became annoyed.

"Are you an idiot? This is a passageway! I know to go to the toilet when I need to poop, and you two are standing in the middle of the road acting out a melodramatic soap opera. I haven't even complained about you getting my eyes dirty, and you're still yelling at me!"

Song Wen's words infuriated Abu even more. She knew she couldn't do anything about this scoundrel. Just as she was about to shout for security, she saw someone running towards her from the end of the corridor, shouting as he ran.

"What are you doing here, kid? I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Abu shouted angrily, "Wang Ke! Keep your men in check! Don't let him cause trouble here!"

Abu's anger startled Wang Ke. He bowed and scraped, forcing a smile, and said, "What's wrong? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Ask him! Ask your good buddy Hei Chu!"

"Who the hell are you calling a damn eunuch?!"

"you!"

Wang Ke grabbed Song Wen and scolded, "What are you doing! You're not allowed to treat Coach Abu like that! Tell me clearly what happened!"

After he finished sternly reprimanding Song Wen, he turned around and apologized with a smile.

"I'm sorry, my brother has a rather impatient personality, it was all a misunderstanding."

Seeing Wang Ke's attitude, Abu's anger subsided a little.

"Take him away right now, this is EDG's rest area."

"Alright, alright," Wang Ke nodded and bowed, "I'll take him back first and ask him what happened. Then I'll apologize to you properly."

After saying that, Wang Ke grabbed Song Wen and left.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Abu remarked, "This Wang Ke seems like a decent person, I wonder how he ended up hanging out with someone like Song Wen."

As she turned to go into the lounge, she heard two people talking nearby.

"I thought you meant to comfort some little sister who was crying so hard, but it turns out it's Mei Kou."

"Yes, I saw that his eyes were red when he came off the stage. He looked so pitiful."

"Haha, you're really making me laugh to death. You even managed to drive that sissy Abu half to his death. You're something else."

"Sigh, my good intentions were wasted. Women's hearts are truly unfathomable."

"You'll get used to it; that's how hormonal imbalances work —"

Abu watched their figures disappear around the corner, his breathing growing heavier and heavier.

"You two, stand right there!"

Song Wen suddenly walked backwards out from around the corner.

"What are you barking about, you dog? Come and bite me while I'm standing right here!"

Wang Ke also came out.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Coach Abu. Don't be angry with me, I'll definitely give him a good talking to when I get back."

With a single step, the two disappeared around the corner.

"ah!!"

In the corridor, Abu's shrill, insane cries echoed throughout the entire passageway.

When Wang Ke and Song Wen returned to the Snake team's rest room, Crystal was still boasting about his performance in the previous game, his face flushed.

Wang Ke noticed that Crystal's wrist kept twitching unnaturally and asked, "Crystal, is your hand alright?"

"It's okay."

Crystal answered very frankly.

Wang Ke did not press the matter further.

Crystal's hand has had many follow-up appointments, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, Wang Ke noticed that Crystal Brother's hands would often make some unnatural movements.

He also asked the doctor, who replied that it was most likely caused by psychological factors.

Sometimes, even after a person has suffered a severe injury to a part of their body and the body has physically healed from a medical perspective, they may still feel discomfort in the injured area.

I went to the hospital for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that there may be some minor issues that cannot be detected with current medical standards, but in general, most of the impact is psychological.

It has been more than half a year since Crystal injured his hand. In fact, his hand had been assessed as recovered much earlier. It was Crystal who took the initiative to ask to play the support role because he felt that his hand was still a little uncomfortable.

But Wang Ke isn't a doctor and can't help with this kind of problem; Crystal Brother has to solve it himself.

At least for now, his performance in the AD position is still pretty good.

Wang Ke turned on the TV screen and said, "Next, I'm going to talk about some key points, so listen carefully—"

A group of people seemed to still be caught up in the excitement of defeating EDG in two consecutive games, and were still chattering away.

Song Wen stood to one side, his hands behind his back.

"quiet!!"

The Snakes' rest area fell silent instantly.

"Viewers watching the live stream, you are now watching the first round of the 2017 League of Legends Spring Split Playoffs! The two teams facing off are EDG Esports Club and Snake Esports Club! I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator doll!"

Amidst the cheers and shouts of support for EDG from the crowd, Miller continued, "In the match that just ended, Snake started 0-1 but then rallied to defeat EDG, bringing the score to 2-1 and taking the lead in this match! For Snake, winning this third game will secure the victory! As for EDG, the situation has reached a point of no return; they must give it their all in this game!"

"Both sides have entered the draft phase. EDG, who lost the last game, have once again chosen the blue side. Let's take a look at their draft choices!"

EDG players' bench.

Mei Kou was clearly still in shock from what had just happened, staring blankly at the computer screen.

iboy, grinning and shaking his leg, said, "What are you thinking about? The competition has started."

iboy's words brought Mei Kou back to her senses, but also ignited a nameless anger within her.

"None of your business, just focus on your own game. If you hadn't fed us, we would have won already."

iboy smiled and remained silent.

Nofe ignored the bot lane duo's argument and decisively said, "Ban Karma!"

The Karma mid-laner's build with a naked Ardent Censer really annoyed EDG a lot in the last game.

Even the changes all started with that incense burner group eight minutes in.

EDG isn't against copying others' strategies, but it's definitely not acceptable to copy something they haven't practiced themselves and then use it directly on the field.

"EDG has banned Karma! It seems Black's Karma is proving to be a bit difficult for EDG to handle!"

Hearing Miller's words, Wawa also chimed in, "In the last game, Black's Karma, I remember the final score was 1-0-16. That can be considered as pioneering a new way to play mid lane."

As soon as the doll finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

[You've brought shame to the mid laner!]

We mid-laners would never be dogs for the ADC!

[This is trash, shameful!]

[They'd rather lose face than compromise!]

[You played the mid lane like this, it's hilarious!]

Meanwhile, the Snake team, as usual, banned Janna. This is a standard banning strategy for the red team.

The power to control the game has returned to EDG.

Without even thinking, nofe blurted out, "Lulu!"

The fifteen-minute break allowed nofe to figure things out.

The Incense Burner system was pioneered by the Snake team.

Playing with incense burners is what the Snake team excels at. If I were to try playing with incense burners now, I would be jumping around in someone else's comfort zone!

He has to step out of his comfort zone!

Since I can't figure out how to play, then nobody should play!

On the commentary desk, upon seeing EDG ban Lulu, Wawa exclaimed, "EDG banned Lulu too! That means several supports that synergize well with Ardent Censer compositions have been taken out!"

Snake Team, on the other hand, opted to remove Rengar.

Subsequently, EDG immediately banned Kalista on their third pick!

"Oh! Then EDG's decision to ban that player is quite obvious!"

Snakes' bench.

Seeing EDG's ban, Song Wen laughed.

"Looks like I won't be able to play with the incense burner."

Actually, he doesn't like playing the Ardent Censer lineup, because the Ardent Censer lineup is essentially a four-protect-one composition.

If it weren't for Wang Ke, how could he possibly be playing that Incense Burner Karma build?

However, no sooner had Song Wen finished speaking than Wang Ke asked, "Why can't we play with the incense burner anymore?"

"No, you're going to play the Incense Burner? Didn't you say yourself that this version of the Incense Burner isn't that easy to play?"

'

Sensing Song Wen's confusion, Wang Ke calmly explained, "I originally didn't want to play anymore, but I'm a stubborn person. The more the other side doesn't want me to play, the more I want to play."
