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

Chapter 123 1:0! What is a talent-type monster?

"Camille is playing incredibly aggressively in lane! That hook is so annoying in mid lane! Whenever Ryze comes out, Camille will unleash a full combo on him!"

"Yes."

"And the Light Steel also has an adaptive shield! With this kind of health exchange, it seems like the Wanderer won't be able to withstand it!"

"Yes."

"Camille's E-flash! Wow! Black instantly killed Ryze in mid lane, securing a solo kill! This is outrageous! Camille is practically overpowered in mid lane!"

"Yes!"

"Codni tried to steal Condi's chicken, but Condi caught him! He's so daring, trying to invade the enemy jungle with less than half health! But Camille's support came too fast! Snake, on the other hand, immediately created a 2v1 situation! Condi used Flash, but Camille has her ultimate! Codni can't escape from this position!!"

"Snake's Camille pick is incredibly effective! White really needs to study his brain; where does he get all these crazy ideas from? Now Ryze is having trouble even farming minions in mid lane, and although he's level six with Warp Drive and can keep up with Camille's roaming ability, he still can't win when he goes to support!"

"Yes."

"Black is moving towards the bottom lane. WE is about to engage in a team fight, and a 4v4 team fight is about to break out in the bottom lane! But Black E-flashes in! With Graves' damage, he instantly kills Ryze who just landed! These two are too farmed, their damage output is incomprehensible! Jarvan IV's ultimate hits Camille, and Camille seems to be about to die! But Lulu gives a crucial ultimate! She manages to save Camille!"

"WE needs to figure something out now! SofM is acting like he's in WE's own backyard, basically eating his fill in WE's jungle! Can you stand that?! And those two are going after Kennen in the top lane! Kennen has his ultimate and Flash, but against Maokai's crowd control and Camille and Graves' damage, he can't even use his abilities!"

"They've completely dominated! Snake's mid and jungle duo are just too strong! Another four-man gank on the bot lane, and Mystic flashes in to try and make a play! But how can you dodge Camille's ultimate?! Snake! They've taken down WE's outer bot lane turret, which is extremely difficult for WE to accept. With this lineup, WE absolutely needs an advantage in the bot lane!"

"Yes."

"At twenty minutes, the economic difference between the two sides has reached nearly 10,000! But Black seems to have pushed too far into the lane! WE is about to make a move against Black! At this position—why isn't Black moving away immediately? He still wants to counter-attack!! Oh!"

What kind of play is this?! Camille flashed and used her second Q during her E combo to kill Jarvan IV! And from that position, Black even managed to hook away! My god, this person's Camille proficiency is terrifying, it's an unheard-of, unseen play!

Snakes' bench.

One second Wang Ke was cursing Song Wenzai for being a "loose bastard," and the next second he was dumbfounded.

"Dude, what kind of move was that just now?"

Even Wang Ke didn't understand Song Wen's actions just now.

So Camille can flash and land a Q during her E animation?!

"E-Flash-Q."

Song Wen replied casually.

"Didn't you say you couldn't play Camille?"

Song Wen's performance in this game was truly a shock to Wang Ke.

"I don't really know how, but once you understand the skill mechanics, some of the actions just come naturally, right? My skills are still a bit rusty. I feel like if I practice a few more games, I could have killed two people in that last round."

Song Wen's answer plunged the Snake Team into silence.

He seemed to be showing off, and they even had evidence, but their act was so convincing that their rebuttals made them look like cripples.

Wang Ke smacked his lips.

He realized that he had indeed underestimated Song Wen, the six-time champion.

How could I have forgotten that Song Wen's talent is also monstrous?

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. It takes me a whole season to master a champion like Janna or Lulu, while this kid can pull off some fancy moves with Camille in a single game.

"Bro, I just thought of another trick. Wait for me to flash, and I'll show you how it works."

"roll!"

The chat room was now completely exploding with comments.

【66666! 】

[I'm fucking cool, isn't this Camille?]

What kind of move was that?

[E-Flash-Q, I can only say that this guy is really flashy. His heart doesn't seem human. The E-Flash-Q has a very high miss rate. Once you miss, you're stuck standing there.]

[Hei Chu is the most daring player I've ever seen; he's not afraid of making mistakes or getting flamed.]

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to angrily criticize those who are considered "laolai" (laolai, meaning "low

I seriously suspect that Hei Chu is missing a screw in his head, or has some kind of emotional defect.

[He's simply born with the physique of a gaming legend.]

Amidst the lively discussions among netizens, five minutes quickly passed.

At this point, facing Snake's offensive, WE's second tower was down to only the top lane.

Song Wen, controlling Camille, moved to the wolves' lair location, pinged Kog'Maw under the second turret, and said, "Bro, I think I can just E-Flash-E-Kick him to death from here, through two walls. Everyone watch my plays!"

Camille used her hook and then flashed!

"Bang!"

The next second, countless question marks instantly arose!

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Wang Ke's harsh laughter made Song Wen blush instantly.

"6666! Bro, 66666, that flash-to-stand-down move is pretty cool."

The mistake made Song Wen couldn't help but curse, "Stop fucking picking at the question marks! Stop picking at the question marks! Everyone saw it!!"

Wang Ke comforted him, "It's okay, I've checked the vision around this area. As long as WE doesn't see you, your Flash will still be active."

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, who had witnessed everything, had a strange expression.

"Um... Black used Flash in the jungle... What was he trying to do?"

I recall speculating, "Is he planning to Flash over the wall to unleash his ultimate attack? —"

Rita: "Yes."

The viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back any longer.

Hahaha, this is hilarious!

That flash almost scared the shit out of me.

Thankfully, nothing serious happened this time.

[That's just how it is with me; I like to do things that are a bit outrageous.]

The most ridiculous thing was the Snake team's teammates; at least ten question marks flashed across their screens in an instant.

[WE didn't use Flash with Camille this time, what's their explanation?]

[Dude, the economy is completely crushed, what else can you say?]

Wang Ke is right.

As long as the opponent doesn't know you've used Flash, your Flash will remain active.

Song Wen's previous E-flashes had already traumatized his brother-in-law.

Faced with Snake's advance, he didn't dare to appear in Camille's line of sight at all.

After all, with this equipment, Camille can be easily killed by Graves in the backline before Janna can even use her ultimate!

Snake pushed down WE's second top lane tower, then opted to play it safe and wait for Song Wen's Flash, while setting up vision around the Baron pit.

Thirty minutes later, Snake began to gather Baron Nashor.

WE, on the other hand, clearly knew that they had no choice but to engage in this team fight.

Even if they don't engage, Snake, with the Baron buff and such a huge economic advantage, could still end the game in one fell swoop.

If WE can steal the Baron Nashor, or even pull off a miraculous team fight, then they still have a chance to turn the game around.

This can be considered WE's last hope.

On the commentary desk, seeing Snake already starting Baron, Guan Zeyuan excitedly shouted, "Snake is taking Baron very fast! But WE has already surrounded them! Wow! Snake's discipline is amazing! They stopped taking Baron immediately, and Maokai chose to flash and initiate, controlling Kennen! 957 used his ultimate to block Snake's entry! Maokai's position is out of position! But the backline! Look at the backline, WE!! Camille used E-Flash-E to engage Kog'Maw!! Janna used her ultimate, and Kog'Maw wasn't killed! Mystic is going to turn around and counter-attack! White!"

He flashed into the middle of WE's team and unleashed his ultimate on Black! He even turned Kog'Maw into a sheep!

"Lulu got taken down by Ryze, but then Camille killed Mystic too!! Kennen was one-shotted by Graves on the front lines! WE tried to turn back to Camille! But Black was fearless, using Ravenous Hydra to drain her life!! Ryze used Flash, but Camille's E was already ready! Ryze couldn't escape! Jarvan IV was still fighting Sivir, but he had no teammates left behind! WE's team fight is about to crumble!! Facing Black's entry, WE had no way to deal damage, and Kog'Maw had absolutely no room to output damage!!"

Remember also chimed in, "In that case, Snake has essentially given up Baron Nashor. There are minions in the top lane, it feels like they're aiming to end the game in one push! In the first game of today's finals, Snake once again unleashed a lineup we'd never seen before, catching WE completely off guard. Camille played exceptionally well in this game, achieving a godlike 10-0 score and carrying the entire match!"

"For WE, losing the first game in this best-of-five series might be acceptable, but I think that letting WE lose now is..."

The coaching staff's biggest headache is probably worrying about whether Snake still has something they haven't revealed in the later matches! This will cause huge problems for WE in the draft phase!

Rita: "Yes!"

The chat room was absolutely buzzing with excitement.

[Is the Snake Team really going to win the championship?]

[WE's first game felt like they were getting completely swept.]

[This Camille is just indiscriminately killing people.]

Even though you're dominating in the hacked mode, that doesn't stop me from mocking your flash-and-stand-down-punch combo.

Indeed, Camille's E-Flash-E combo isn't something anyone can do easily; to make such a mistake is incredibly risky.

[Snake Team has too many tricks up their sleeve; it feels like the game will never end.]

I originally thought RNG had forced Snake to reveal all their strategies by then.

What's most terrifying is that we don't even know the ceiling of this team's potential.

Ten pinpoints are still too few; I suggest increasing the number of punches to twenty.

In the live stream, Snake had already destroyed WE's inhibitor turret.

Congratulations to Team Snake for winning the first game of this match!

"Yes!"

"Sang-hyeok, I feel like the players from the LPL aren't very strong."

SKT eSports Club.

Huni, with instant noodles stuffed in his mouth, stood behind Lee Sang-hyeok and spoke.

As the champions of this year's LCK Spring Split Finals, SKT will participate in the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational.

Today, the club happened to have no training sessions, so Lee Sang-hyeok watched LPL livestream while eating instant noodles.

Peanut chimed in, "It feels like their team plays very casually. That Camille just used Flash like that at the wolves pit, it's outrageous."

Huni nodded, expressing his deep agreement with Peanut.

"Indeed, but his E-Flash-Q play in the bottom lane was quite impressive. I didn't know Camille could be played like that, but it was probably just luck. This guy's playstyle seems very aggressive."

Huni ate instant noodles while talking, choked on his food, and looked at the cola on Lee Sang-hyeok's table.

"Sang-hyuk hyung—I'm stuck, can I have a sip of your Coke?"

Lee Sang-hyeok, who had remained silent and maintained a composed demeanor, showed emotion for the first time after hearing Huni's unreasonable request.

"Ah—okay, but I don't have much left, you can only drink a little—"

Although he was very reluctant to part with them, he felt embarrassed to refuse since his teammates had already asked.

However, as soon as Huni heard Lee Sang-hyeok say "okay," she grabbed a Coke and started chugging it. By the time Lee Sang-hyeok finished speaking, the Coke bottle had already been crushed by Huni.

He saw Lee Sang-hyeok's face visibly darken.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sang-hyuk hyung, I'll buy you another bottle."

"Never mind, it's fine."

Lee Sang-hyeok put the fork in his hand into the instant noodle cup. The instant noodles that he had thought smelled so good just now no longer appealed to him.

Huni was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but the words of the three Korean commentators in the live broadcast helped him out of the predicament.

The first game between Snake and WE has ended.

During the players' rest periods, the official website will release highlights of the matches between the two teams.

This time, however, the video played showed Snake arguing and bickering right after they locked in their lineup, including audio recordings of their conversations.

"Oh, they really are arguing, aren't they? Their tones are really bad."

"The team atmosphere doesn't seem very good!"

In the Korean-language live stream, the commentators were trying to guess what the Snake team was saying.

However, for events like the finals, the official LCK broadcast also includes commentators who can understand Chinese.

At this point, the commentator's expression grew increasingly strange.

"Brother Jae-min, what are they arguing about? Can you tell us?"

The commentator, called Zaimin, looked strange and hesitated before speaking, "Uh—they're attacking each other in very bad Chinese."

"Oh!" One of them exclaimed, his eyes widening with undisguised curiosity. "What's all this arguing about?"

"The gist of it is that White gave Black Camille, but Black had never played Camille before, so the two of them had a conflict. Meanwhile, Flandre, who was constantly talking incessantly, was explaining to Black what Camille's skills were."

As soon as Jae-min finished speaking, the other two Korean commentators were silenced.

Just a second ago, they were saying that Black's Camille was incredibly skilled, but now you're telling them that Black had never even played it before?

Huni's eyes widened in disbelief. "You've never even played a single game? Really? That seems impossible. How could you dare to do something like that if you've never even played a single game?"

The commentators in the live stream also expressed their doubts: "It seems unlikely. I've played Camille before, and he doesn't seem like it's his first time playing her. I've never even seen those maneuvers before. Saying he's never played her before is too exaggerated."

Another commentator remarked, "Ah, it feels like the LPL officials deliberately released this content. Is there some other meaning behind it? Because our opponent at MSI is very likely to be this Snake team. Is it possible that they said this on purpose to bluff people and make everyone think they are very strong? After all, they love to bluff."

Upon hearing the explanation, Huni seemed to have a sudden realization and excitedly spat out the instant noodles in her mouth onto Lee Sang-hyeok's table.

"Ah! Yes, yes! That must be the reason. They're too cunning!"

Lee Sang-hyeok didn't respond. He simply picked up a tissue and threw the instant noodles Huni had vomited out into the trash can. Then he started dragging the progress bar, rewinding the game to the very beginning.

"Camille's movements were really strange. She didn't position herself normally; instead, she stood right under the mid-lane tower," Peanut speculated. "Was she checking her abilities?"

Lee Sang-hyeok continued to drag the progress bar, rewatching the scene when the two mid laners had just started to appear.

At this point, Camille's movements were noticeably stiff, and sometimes she even made it difficult to maintain the distance of my W. On one occasion, she even completely missed with her E.

But after using her skill just once, Camille's movements became visibly more and more skillful.

Lee Sang-hyeok scratched his head. He couldn't understand how the other person did it, and he didn't quite believe that someone could really reach such a terrifying level of proficiency on their first time playing a hero. But judging from the other person's performance at levels one and two, it really didn't seem like they were acting.

If the initial arguments and conversations among the Sanke team members, and even their stiff movements at the top, were all deliberately acted, then he felt that these people were being rather boring.

"Ah, if it's true, how did he do that? Is this person a genius?"

Lee Sang-hyeok muttered to himself.

Peanut and Huni fell silent.

This was the first time they had ever heard Lee Sang-hyeok praise someone so frankly.

Don't let Lee Sang-hyeok's seemingly honest and unassuming appearance fool you; he's actually quite the brooding devil inside. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that embarrassing move of imitating Vayne's rolling motion during the S5 World Championship.

Moreover, Lee Sang-hyeok is extremely confident, and it is rare to receive such direct and affirmative recognition from him.

"It would be very interesting if they were the opponents of MSI."

Lee Sang-hyeok muttered something casually again, picked up his fork, and started eating his instant noodles again, this time enjoying them even more than before.

Meanwhile, in the official live stream, viewers were stunned when they saw the Snake team's argument.

They were laughing at Song Wen's mistake, and now you're telling me this was his first time playing Camille?!

On your first time playing Camille, you managed to pull off so many flashy plays?!

In comparison, that single mistake was far too insignificant compared to how often Song Wen used his fancy moves in this match!

I'm numb.

This is my first time playing this game. I've played Camille 800 times and I've never gotten this good.

Those who can play professionally are truly monsters.

I'm sorry, I just made fun of Kuroichi. I apologize.

[This person is terrifying. It's not just their incredible gaming talent—they can master a hero instantly. What's most frightening is their mentality. In the finals, they dared to use their best hero and try out techniques they'd never even attempted before. What kind of incredible composure does that give them?]

One hundred years later, Kuroichi passed away peacefully. Scientists dissected his body and discovered that he didn't even have a stomach; his body was entirely composed of the heart.

[Bai Chu is ruthless. First he made SofM play Karthus, now he's making BlackCheer play Camille. Why doesn't Bai Chu play anything he hasn't played before?]

[The most cunning people are like this. When they pass by a beggar, they put some hot water in the beggar's bowl and say, "It's cold, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."]

]

[People like Bai Chu are incredibly shrewd; I can't quite come up with a perfect description right now, but they're just very shrewd.]

Snakes' rest room.

Wang Ke's face darkened considerably as he looked at the online comments.

After becoming a contestant, Wang Ke can be considered a public figure.

What are public figures most afraid of? They are most afraid of being turned into memes by netizens.

It's obvious that Wang Ke has now become...

Netizens have now given him another nickname: MSG.

Whenever the Snake team gets into trouble, netizens immediately blame him.

It's as if all the bad ideas, crooked schemes, and malicious thoughts of the Snake Team come from Wang Ke.

Although he did indeed produce them all.

Song Wen was still annoyed by his mistake of flashing and getting stuck in the ground, and said to Wang Ke, "Wang Ke, let me play Camille again. I didn't perform perfectly last time."

"You're overthinking it," Wang Ke said. "If WE lets Camille out again in the next game, I'll just eat her."

"My illustrious reputation," Song Wen sighed, then said, "So what should I play next? Get me a carry role."

"Ugh, I'm so frustrated right now!"

Wang Ke thought for a moment and shook his head: "You'll be a support player in the next game. You performed so well in the first game, WE will definitely focus their resources on the mid lane in the next game. Take advantage of their mentality and get a match point first."

WE Lounge.

At this moment, Redmi felt a headache coming on.

He really couldn't understand where Snake got so many weird things from.

At Snake's research speed, he really can't catch up with anyone.

In the last game, the enemy Camille was simply unstoppable. She was aggressive in lane and quick to rotate. Although her weakness was also very obvious, namely that this hero is not strong in team fights, Snake is a team that is extremely good at playing the early game tempo. When the snowball is big enough, situations like the last game will occur, where Camille mindlessly comes in and kills the enemy hero.

Redmi realized that he had clearly underestimated Black.

Facing Snake Team, trying to use their usual four-protect-one strategy, which WE is most proficient in, is clearly not going to withstand the pressure in the early game.

Now he has to make a choice: allocate more resources to the mid lane to help Xiye stabilize the situation in the early and mid-game.
