We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

There's not much to say about the business plan (BP) phase.

The Demacia Cup is basically a preseason tournament for the new season every year.

Everyone is figuring out the new version, and there's basically no fixed formula for BP.

Basically, it's about which heroes are effective when picked, and then other teams will start using them too.

Blue Square RG:

Top lane Jayce

Jungle Spider

Zoe (Mid Lane)

Bottom lane: Varus and Nautilus.

Red team HYA:

Top lane Sett

Jungle Nidalee

Mid-lane Orianna

Bottom lane duo: Kai'Sa and Leona.

Bai Liang remained very quiet as he guided Zoe out the door.

Currently, Xun is mainly in charge of RG's command, so the initial period of the game belongs to Xun.

After all, Bai Liang was well aware of his own situation.

Is he, a player from S8, really going to be the one directing the players from S11?

That shows a lot of confidence.

Furthermore, with Effort still working hard on his support role, the responsibility of commanding naturally fell on Xun's shoulders.

After going online, Bai Liang also set his sights on the opposing mid-laner.

It's quite a coincidence, actually.

In one of the matches he recently crammed to improve his skills, there happened to be a game where he played Zoe as Orianna.

—Zoe from BDD winds up Pirean.

In that game, BDD brutally beat Pirean, who was playing mid lane for T1 at the time, to a score of 0/9, which can be described as extremely ruthless.

With the minions appearing, the laning phase officially begins.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Liang directly chose to press forward.

Zoe's strategy against Orianna at level one is to be aggressive.

Even if you only use the short Q, you can't lose in a trade of health by combining it with the passive-enhanced auto-attack.

So fierce?

Ah Wei muttered to himself.

His score wasn't high; his highest ranking on the Korean server was only Grandmaster, with over 600 points.

However, he believes he has some experience in playing against Zoe.

however--

Can the Zoe he played compare to Bai Liang now?

Seeing Zoe press forward, Orianna used her Q skill first in an attempt to force her to retreat.

However, Zoe immediately turned around the next moment.

Dodging Awei's anticipated Q, he simultaneously unleashed a short Q, the second part of which landed directly on Orianna.

At the same time, move backward to create distance and prevent Orianna from having a chance to counterattack.

Bai Liang chuckled.

I know you want to keep trading blows while I'm using passive auto-attacks, so why should I even use auto-attacks?

Skilled players rarely fight to the very end in one go.

Every little bit helps.

until--

Kill line!

Zoe's passive auto-attack hit the front-line minions, and she immediately started pushing the lane.

The two sides have widened the distance between them.

If you let Q's clockwork go, you won't even have the chance to fight back!

"It's okay, don't panic."

Ah Wei swallowed hard.

I am a clockwork, I am a clockwork.

Just let it develop, we won't be stubborn!

As soon as a master makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Who exactly said that Zoe is just a rich kid with no real strength?

That pulling and tugging, that subtle movement!

Holy crap, the intelligence was fake?!

The ensuing scuffle left Awei terrified.

Zoe's distance control is excellent, but what's even more incomprehensible is her positioning.

Ah Wei had never seen such exaggerated positioning.

Every time he casts Q, while the skill is still in flight, Zoe has already started to reposition.

Although he couldn't turn it off every time, he could only watch helplessly as Zoe successfully secured level two.

If Awei hadn't retreated so wisely, he probably would have been forced to use his Flash.

Ah Wei wished he could compose a haiku:

It was online for less than three minutes.

The second attempt failed.

To become maggots.

Seeing that the opponent was about to push the minion wave to the tower, Awei was already finding it hard to hold on.

"Um, could you come over to mid lane for a bit?"

Sally: ?

"Seriously, bro... it's only been a few minutes, is the pressure really that high?"

Sally, the jungler, grumbled as she slashed at the mid lane.

Zoe was almost at full health, but two potions were useless.

Clockwork is already at half health and has taken a potion.

Sally: ...

Okay bro, I can tell you're under a lot of pressure.

If we don't help, we won't be able to play anymore.

If you bring a Tear of the Goddess in the early game, you can go back to base once, but that's mainly to replenish your Tear of the Goddess.

I haven't even earned enough money for Goddess Tears yet, so if I use T now, I won't be able to play.

We must help!

"I am coming."

Sally didn't refuse and immediately signaled to the mid laner.

Ah Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he didn't expect the pressure to be this great.

But it's already like this, so what else is there to say?

Bai Liang didn't have any information about Sally, but he didn't care whether Sally came or not.

The enemy mid and jungle have Orianna and Nidalee. Are you trying to kill him early on?

The damage from the spiciness.

Seeing the Nidalee appear in the mid lane, Bai Liang decided to let Awei off the hook and retreat.

Then, the next second, he sent a signal to his own top laner.

"Xun, the jungler is in the mid lane."

Some things don't need to be said too explicitly; we all understand that.

"clear."

Xun was very straightforward.

Because Bai Liang knew his current location before he allowed him to capture him.

For him, it was just a matter of course.

Besides, he often helped TheShy gank on IG, so the two of them had some teamwork.

I didn't care how the game was going on the top lane.

Seeing that Nidalee, after helping Orianna out of trouble, wanted to leave the mid lane, Bai Liang immediately became unhappy.

You come and go as you please, what do you take me, the mid laner, for?

Zoe, who had already reached level three, picked up the fallen Hydra of Greed fragments and boldly pressed them forward.

Just as the minion wave was pushed over with Nidalee's help, Zoe ignored the minions that were about to enter the tower and started to push the lane.

"Huh? Isn't Zoe taking minions? It'll be difficult to get a kill this time."

Miller, who was in charge of the commentary today, let out a soft "hmm".

If Bai Liang heard this, he would probably burst out laughing.

Disaster?

What's difficult about it?

Zoe has been at this kill threshold for so many years!

Other heroes should sometimes examine their own shortcomings and ask themselves if they have actually addressed the issues with the designers.

Anyway, I, Zuo, really gave it to him.

Otherwise, the intensity over so many years cannot be explained.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Liang directly and boldly teleported to the enemy's face.

Zoe, you have to use Flash to initiate a fight.

As Mr. Lu Xun said:

If Zoe has flashes on both sides, then she has two flashes.

She is one of the few mid laners who can play so wildly.

At first, Ah Wei didn't think he was going to die; he was only thinking about using Orianna's W to slow down and pull away.

He twisted wildly as he retreated, showing he was very good at positioning.

However, it was no use.

Bai Liang wasn't prepared to use E at all in the first place.

After flashing to land, the passive of W is triggered, and Zoe's three basic attacks all hit Orianna.

Press W to use the Greedy Hydra you just picked up in the canyon.

While Zoe dealt a tiny bit of damage with Hydra, she also triggered her W passive, Starfall, again, which triggered Electrocute on her.

With a basic attack and two passive damage attacks, Orianna's health was reduced from about three-quarters after using a potion to one-third.

Quickly pull out a short Q to force Orianna to use Flash.

Bai Liang picked up Orianna and used Flash. Upon landing, he used his passive-enhanced Q skill in conjunction with his W skill's passive Flying Star to take down Orianna.

Zoe?

Zuo A!

[RG.Destiny] killed [HYA.Awei]!

"Killed so quickly?"

Uzi in the bottom lane exclaimed in surprise.

"no way."

Bai Liang sighed.

"It's not that I wanted to kill him, it's that this chaotic world ruined him."
