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

Chapter 125 Go all out, don't worry too much~

WE Lounge.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

WE demonstrated strong competitiveness in this spring season, consistently ranking first in the standings from the middle of the season and making it all the way to the finals.

However, at that time, no one expected that their biggest enemy on the road to victory would be the Snake team.

After two games, the WE players were all a bit dazed.

Although they weren't like RNG, who were speedrunned in an average of twenty minutes, there wasn't much difference in the content of the match; they were both the ones being crushed.

Condi sat in the corner, feeling immense pressure.

In both games, Saofen relentlessly invaded his jungle.

And then his teammates would criticize him for not doing anything.

Condi is very unhappy right now.

He wanted to go to a brothel to relieve some stress.

When Condi is unhappy, he wants to go to a brothel. These days, adults don't just change their profile pictures or signatures to vent. Why not try a brothel? In bed, when two people don't know each other, he can be completely uninhibited and do whatever he wants.

If you're unhappy, go to Piaochang. In Piaochang, no one knows your identity, there are no labels, no acquaintances, you can freely release yourself by engaging in prostitution, and you'll meet someone who understands you in Piaochang.

"Guys!"

Redmi's voice pulled Condi back to reality.

"As you can see, we've been pushed to the brink. I think you played well in the first two games; the problem lies with me. My draft picks weren't good, which put you at a disadvantage in every game."

Compared to draft picks and tactics, Redmi's most praised ability is its skill in developing players.

This ability requires more than just a good understanding of the game; high emotional intelligence is also essential.

Sufficient game understanding is used to convince others, while sufficient emotional intelligence is used to get players to follow one's commands.

Xiang Zhukai is someone who has emotional intelligence but lacks understanding of the game, so his behavior is called "preaching chicken soup".

Redmi also likes to give players motivational speeches. Sometimes the players know that Redmi is giving them motivational speeches, but they are happy to drink this bowl of chicken soup.

As soon as Hongmi spoke, everyone in WE looked up at him.

This is the authority a qualified head coach commands within the team.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that this WE team is mostly composed of young players.

"Snake has a very rich tactical reserve. Although it's a pity, I have to say that I have used all my experience over the years to fight against White. I must admit that I am not as good as him tactically."

Upon hearing Redmi's words, the WE players displayed a variety of expressions.

There was guilt, disappointment, and helplessness.

"But what I want to say is that I've watched every single one of your matches, including Snake's! When they secured their advancement, I spent three days without sleep watching and reviewing every single one of their matches from the Spring Split to now! Their tactics certainly surprised me, but I can say for sure that in terms of individual player skill, any one of you is far superior to them!"

Although Hongmi is Korean, he speaks fluent Mandarin.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked directly at Xiye, who had been completely outmatched in both games.

"I'm not trying to comfort you, especially Xiye. You might think Black is stronger than you right now, but I can tell you definitively, no! I've seen him play LeBlanc, including his Galio in the last game. When using the same champions, your individual skill is definitely stronger than Black's!"

Hearing Hongmi's words, Xiye's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.

However, when faced with the self-satisfied look that Xi Ye gave her, Hongmi looked away guiltily and instead looked at her brother-in-law.

"Not to mention the bot lane, our bot lane has never been at a disadvantage. No matter what lineup the opponent picks, our strength completely crushes them!"

Seeing that everyone's confidence had been rekindled, Hongmi took a deep breath and said, "We have no way out. In this final match, cast aside all your worries, leave no regrets, and go all out!"

Redmi's sales pitch can be considered a classic example.

If the draft picks can't beat the opponent, they start letting the players go all out and leave no regrets.

But the key point is that these young guys from WE are really into this kind of thing.

In an instant, the gloom of losing two games in a row was swept away, and everyone's faces were filled with excited fighting spirit!

Snakes' rest room.

Sao Fen, seeing Zhu Kai return from outside with displeasure written all over his face, was the first to jump out.

"Zhu Kai, where have you been! During your break, instead of waiting here to make my brother Wang a vanilla latte, where have you been?!"

The flamboyant attention from the pinky made Saint Gun Bro sneer.

Those stupid Vietnamese bastards, they'd become your lackeys after you played Graves a couple of times. They have absolutely no faith and no shame!

I don't know who was it that used to keep me in check all the time, but now that they're acting as his lackeys, they don't hide anything from me.

Saint Gunner mentally grumbled as he handed Wang Ke the latte he had just made.

He then handed another cup to Song Wen.

After receiving Wang Ke's thanks and Song Wen's praise, Holy Gun Bro sneered inwardly.

You stupid Vietnamese, do you think you can outsmart a Chinese person when it comes to social niceties?

While you were blaming Zhu Kai, I had already finished adding all the sugar to my latte!

Zhu Kai was stunned for a moment after being verbally abused by the slut, but he clearly didn't want to pay attention to her. He pushed her aside and excitedly asked, "Guess what I heard when I came back from taking a dump?"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard WE shouting that they'd go all out and leave no regrets! I guess they're planning to play their signature heroes in the last game."

Zhu Kai was all too familiar with this scene.

After all, he's said that phrase at least eight or ten times.

Zuo Wu frowned as he looked at Zhu Kai and said, "Why did you go and eavesdrop on others? You'll get caught by the authorities."

"How could I be eavesdropping?" Zhu Kai said, looking aggrieved. "I came out of the restroom, and I was still more than ten meters away from their WE lounge when those guys were excitedly shouting slogans like they were having a team-building event. I heard them even though I didn't want to."

Song Wen rubbed his hands together, eager to try, and said, "Let's go all out! Let's go all out!"

Wang Ke thought for a moment and nodded.

"Let's go in and check the draft later. If the other side has this idea, it's not out of the question."

Snake Esports is currently leading 2-0 and has match point, so they can definitely take a breather. They can't just pull out all their cards in this lousy Spring Finals, what will they do at MSI?

Moreover, giving teammates a certain amount of trust also gives the team more room to improve.

After all, League of Legends is not a game for one person. A team needs teammates who can support each other, not everyone who always revolves around one person and serves him.

If the team focuses solely on Song Wen, their tactical system will undoubtedly be reduced by two-thirds, making them very vulnerable to being countered by other teams.

With Song Wen's abilities, he could indeed step up at crucial moments and display extreme individual heroism, but only if there were four other people to build a stage for him to perform on.

True victory is never about one person finding a giant eagle capable of carrying him across mountains and rivers, but about a group of people being able to trust and rely on each other.

League of Legends is a team game. The championship trophy is never a reflection of a single face, but rather the brilliance woven from the interplay of five faces and the entire support system.

"Viewers watching the live stream, you are now watching the 2017 League of Legends Spring Split Finals! The two teams facing off are WE Esports Club and Snake Esports Club! I'm your commentator, Guan Zeyuan!"

"I'm the commentator, Ji De!"

"I am Rita!"

A burst of enthusiastic yet somewhat melancholic cheers erupted from the audience.

Most of the audience members who came to the scene were WE fans. Seeing their favorite team being pushed to the brink of elimination, many female fans started to shed tears.

[Waaah, good luck, brother-in-law!]

[The best Mystic!]

[Can Condi please wake up? Help your brother-in-law catch more fish!]

I'm really disappointed with WE. Mystic deserves better.

Mystic's face is so authoritative.

[I'm taking in one of Mystic's heartbroken female fans.]

[It's so upsetting to see Mystic like this. Any other women want to chat? I'm a girl.]

Actually, I think black is quite handsome too.

[Haha, it starts with looks, stays loyal because of character, but let's forget about character based on criticism, okay?]

[What's wrong with criticizing someone's character? I think he's the most upright and greatest man in the world. Just because he dared to criticize the official channels, I think he's a real man.]

"Go ahead and do what you like, I just like Mystic. Low-key and humble."

Being low-key and humble doesn't preclude liking to give away freebies.

[Heh, a rat in the gutter.]

On the Snake team's bench, Wang Ke sneezed and muttered something.

"This means there's one more female fan now."

In the commentary booth, Ji De said, "In the previous match, Snake had already won two games in a row, making the score Snake2: OWE! For this best-of-five series, Snake has reached match point, and the championship trophy seems to be within their grasp! On the other hand, WE now faces the immense pressure of three match point games! Hopefully, WE can adjust their form for the final game!"

Guan Zeyuan said, "Actually, I don't think WE is without hope. In the last two games, the biggest problem was that Snake's early game pace was just too fast! They didn't give Mystic any time or space to develop. In this third game, WE needs to take corresponding measures. It feels like against Snake, there's really no need to force a late-game composition. You should just play early game against them, or rather, what suits WE's playstyle is to rely on a late-game AD carry. You need at least two or three strong early-to-mid-game heroes to ensure you can safely get through the early game, right?"

Rita nodded: "Yes."

"WE's problem in the previous two games was that they bet everything on the late game. Maybe WE thought Snake was good at the early game, so I chose to avoid them, but that obviously didn't work. You let Snake have too much of a smooth early game!"

Remember also chimed in, "In short, both sides have now entered the draft phase. WE has once again chosen the blue side. Let's see if there will be any new changes in this third game!"

WE once again chose to ban Camille, and this time, the other two bans were given to Jayce and Ziggs, the annoying champion from the previous game.

On the Snake team's side, they removed Kalista, Rengar, and Kha'Zix.

Subsequently, WE locked down LeBlanc on the first floor!

"oh!"

WE's actions undoubtedly earned them a lot of applause from the audience.

"The Enchantress! She's locked up right on the first floor!"

Guan Zeyuan's face revealed an expression that seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, and he exclaimed, "Wow! WE's last game feels like they're going all out! LeBlanc is Xiye's signature champion. And unlike Kassadin, who relies on teammates to help him slow down the pace, LeBlanc needs to gain an advantage in lane on her own! WE locking in LeBlanc in the first pick shows that even in a do-or-die game, Xiye still has plenty of confidence in himself!"

Seeing WE's player selections, Song Wen's face was full of excitement.

"Hey, Xiye's a little trash, he's kind of interesting. Let's play Zed and mess with him!"

Faced with Song Wen's request, Wang Ke nodded without hesitation: "Operate it!"

When Snake Team locked in Zed, the cheers from the crowd went even wilder!

"Zed! Faced with Xiye's challenge, Black immediately responded! LeBlanc in the mid lane against Zed, this matchup is so interesting! Both of these champions are known for their flashy playstyles, and this game in the mid lane is clearly a battle of skill, with neither side able to outplay the other. There's no such thing as peaceful farming!"

In the live stream, netizens were visibly excited.

【6666! 】

[Classic match.]

[Snake Team is making a mistake. WE was out of options. Wouldn't it have been better for Snake Team to play steadily and win the game?]

[Is the white-clad actress too favoritistic, or is the black-clad actress being favored too much?]

[That's just the kind of team Snake Esports is; if you dare to show your strength, I'll definitely respond.]

[Now, in the mid-lane, it's truly a close contest where the brave will prevail.]

After locking the jackpot, Wang Ke said to Saofen, "Vietnamese guy, you should just pay for yourself first."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Sao Fen didn't hesitate and immediately clicked on Graves.

"Cough cough."

The sassy girl looked at Wang Ke.

"Brother Wang, is your throat bothering you?"

"fine."

To move the mouse in pink, you need to click to confirm.

"Cough cough."

The Vietnamese man looked at Song Wen with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Wen, is your throat bothering you?"

"fine."

A bright smile appeared on the pink face.

"Then I'll continue building Graves."

"Cough cough." X2.

Saofen paused for a moment, then asked in a tone that even she seemed unsure, "Does that mean I can't pick Graves?"

Song Wen turned his head and gave the pink-haired girl a forced smile.

"How could that be? Brother Wang already said everyone can play whatever they want. A promise is a promise, you can't let Brother Wang be seen as someone who doesn't keep his word, can you?"

Seeing Song Wen's murderous expression, Sao Fen scratched her head.

"Ugh—I'm getting a bit tired of playing Graves twice in a row. How about Nidalee? Is Nidalee okay?"

'

'

"Is Lee Sin okay?"

"6

'

"Actually, spiders aren't bad either?"

, "

"Pig Girl isn't quite right—"

"Uh-huh."

Wang Ke cleared his throat.

"Sejuani is so much fun, I've decided to play a round with her!"

Song Wen's expression brightened: "Little Pink, with this awareness, you will definitely become a great professional player in the future."

Wang Ke also spoke up: "When I first saw Xiao Fen, I felt that he had extraordinary bones and was not an ordinary person."

The right to vote has returned to WE's hands.

Redmi suggested, "Should we just go for the bottom lane?"

The brother-in-law and Ben nodded and locked up Lucian on the second and third floors!

Since Snake Esports brought out the Lucian-Anami combo in the RGN match, this strategy has become the hottest bot lane combination in the current version.

The brother-in-law and Ben had practiced a lot during scrims, and because of their tacit understanding, Redmi thought that WE's Luna was even better than Snake's.

On the commentary desk, upon seeing WE's champion picks, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Oh! The Luna duo! I almost forgot about this invincible bot lane combination! Snake Team probably didn't expect this either!"

"They actually chose to play Luna, a champion that's heavily reliant on early-game composition. Those two champions are practically invincible in the bot lane right now!"

Remember also analyzed: "This combination has a very high win rate even in casual games. Currently, there isn't a single composition in the bot lane that can counter Luna's aggression. Snake has been outmaneuvered again."

One sentence I remember instantly sparked another flame war in the live stream.

What does it mean to learn by stealing someone else's skills?

Is this idiot commentator out of his mind?

The Luna combo was originally used by Snake Esports.

[I laughed. There are only so many champions for the bot lane. Just because they've used one doesn't mean it's unusable for others, right?]

[Sima's commentary, get off the stage already.]

[This is how Snake Esports fans are: everything originated with Snake Esports.]

[I'm just a casual observer, but this is the first time I've heard of this combination. I did watch a Snake Esports game.]

【Then go home and play a couple more ranked games; you've already got those in solo queue.】

[In the past, who would have brought two Thunderlord's Decree items to Luna in casual games?]

[Yes, yes, yes, I don't want to say more about the kind of idiots who can turn black into white and gain fans; I don't want to argue with idiots.]

Wang Ke was indeed somewhat surprised to see that WE had locked in Lucian and Nami in the bot lane.

I didn't expect WE to copy their homework so quickly.

However, Wang Ke has a habit of always keeping something in reserve.

Wang Ke will not use lineups or strategies that he has not yet figured out how to handle unless absolutely necessary.

When he takes it out and uses it, it proves that he already has a solution for this lineup.

In fact, there is basically no invincible lineup; they will always have one weakness or another.

Incense burners are invincible, right? But their biggest drawback is their limited field of vision.

Luna is invincible, right? In the marksman/support duo, Luna is indeed invincible.

But what if I don't play marksman/support in the bot lane?

I picked two marksmen in the bottom lane, what do you say then?

The reason why Lucian and Ana are so strong in lane is because of their high burst damage.

During the laning phase, rely on Thunderlord's Decree to deal high damage instantly.

Once they've developed to a certain level, they can even one-shot squishy targets.

However, Thunder's cooldown time is a full twenty-five seconds!

Especially since Lucian doesn't yet have the [Vigilance] passive effect, the burst damage of the Luna combo mostly comes from the damage of the two Thunderlord's Decree.

In other words, these two people actually have a long period of no output online.

In the early stages, the Luna combo can't kill someone in one combo; it takes at least two combos.

When Luna faces two marksmen, do you dare to go up and try to unleash a combo?

You might go in and unleash a powerful combo, dealing impressive damage right away, but afterwards, you might never be able to go back to where you started.

When facing Luna with a double marksman composition, the laning phase is a mindless, all-out pressure. The two ADCs will stand behind the minion wave as soon as they come to lane, and Lucian won't even dare to go up to last-hit minions.

The only problem is that Wang Ke and Crystal have never tried the double-shooting technique before.

After all, this lineup is practically unusable in the current meta where jungle assassins are dominant, so Wang Ke didn't practice it at all.

But now, it's perfectly acceptable to use it to deal with Luna.

As for the issue of proficiency, what level of proficiency do two ADCs need to go bot lane?

A double AD bot lane doesn't need to worry about any laning issues; the only concern is ganks. They only need to target assassin-type junglers in the second round of bans.

As for LeBlanc in the mid lane, the current version of LeBlanc, while having improved her laning ability, has weakened her burst damage. Given Snake's vision control, they aren't really afraid of LeBlanc's burst damage.

When the election rights returned to Snake, Wang Ke immediately selected Varus for Crystal.

Upon seeing the Snake team's picks, Guan Zeyuan said, "Varus? I feel like Varus is not good against Luna. Wouldn't it be better to pick an AD carry with mobility and kiting ability?"

""

Remember nodded and said, "As for Varus, there's a high probability he'll take full damage if Lucian gets close and unleashes a full combo."

Although the two raised some questions, they did not say anything more.

After all, this was Snake Team's draft.

Wang Ke has proven time and again that criticizing Snake's draft picks too much will only backfire.

Both sides entered the second round of tag.

WE opted to ban both support champions, banning Janna and Lulu, clearly aiming to gain an advantage in the bottom lane and snowball their lead.

On the Snake side, they banned Lee Sin and Jarvan IV from the jungle position.

Subsequently, Snake team locked in Rumble in the top lane on the fourth floor to compensate for the lack of AP in their lineup.

Rumble isn't really a champion with any obvious counter-pick advantage against anyone, so it's best to just build him directly.

However, Snake Team's move left everyone baffled.

"The fourth floor Rumble is locked in! Did Snake team reserve the fifth floor counter pick for a support? What's the reason behind this?"

Guan Zeyuan felt that his brain was no longer sufficient to commentate on the Snake team's matches.

The commentary and brain-teasing level of this team's draft picks are comparable to those of the legendary Lucian jungler from back in the day.

Seeing the Snake team's player selection, Hongmi felt a sense of foreboding.

In fact, he had already had three unlucky moments in the three games.

But he couldn't understand the opponent's draft picks at all; who knew what the opponent would pull out next?

Fortunately, he has already delegated the power to the players in this round. Just thinking about it makes me tired!

In the end, Condi had his brother-in-law lock in a Graves for him, clearly wanting to get revenge for his previous jungle invasion.

However, 957, who had a better overall perspective, abandoned the idea of ​​picking Kled after seeing his team's lineup and chose Shen instead.

The last pick fell to the Snake team.

At this moment, the support hero who occupied the fifth counter position on the red team had already aroused everyone's curiosity.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Wang Ke calmly opened the ADC page and locked in Ashe, the Frost Archer!

"ah?!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice almost went out of control.

"Wait, you're picking Ashe on the fifth floor? What does that mean? Ashe support? I wouldn't even dare play like that in a solo queue game. If you play Ashe support in a solo queue game, you'll get flamed!"

In casual games, some people do pick Ashe as support, but those are usually people who don't want to play support and are just giving up.

Snake Team's decision to pick Ashe on the fifth floor was a huge surprise to everyone.

In the live stream, viewers couldn't hold back any longer.

[Damn, I thought I was going to get a big one, but I pulled a big one instead.]

[666, they've even got Ashe as a support! I'd believe it if you told me this Snake team was in Bronze or Silver rank.]

Is this scientific research?

This doesn't feel like scientific research; it feels like a power struggle based on personal connections.

Indeed, it's 2-0 already, so giving them a handicap shouldn't be a problem.

Amidst the doubts raised by netizens, the lineups for both sides were thus finalized.

Blue side: WE Esports Club VS Red side: Snake Esports Club.

Top lane: (957) Twilight Eye VS (flandre) Rumble.

Jungle: (condi) Graves VS (sofm) Sejuani.

Mid Lane: (iye) LeBlanc VS (black) Zed.

ADC: (mystic) Lucian VS (Kryst4I) Varus.

Support: (ben) Nami VS (white) Ashe.
