[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

In the second game, both players switched their hero picks to Shadow Blade.

This hero has a long development cycle and is extremely dependent on gold. Even in a 1v1 solo match, you have to get your first core item before your damage output can truly take shape.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Xie Jichuan did not aggressively push the lane as he did in the previous game. Instead, he calmly controlled the minion wave to expand his economic advantage and played steadily.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, the suffocating feeling of being completely suppressed in the previous round was gone, and their arrogance became visibly rampant.

He began repeatedly crossing the minion wave and running to the turret to probe it, his movements blatantly provocative.

Seeing that Xie Jichuan really wasn't attacking him, he became so anxious that he even forgot about the minion wave and crouched in the shadows in front of the tower, eager to make a move, only thinking about getting a solo kill.

Looking at the shadow blade swaying back and forth in front of the tower on the screen, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh, her tone full of undisguised sarcasm:

"Why are they just standing there without clearing the lane? Are they holding a military parade?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a notification popped up on Xie Jichuan's screen that the purchase was complete, and he had acquired his first piece of high-end equipment.

Li Zhi's gaze swept across the economic panel in the upper right corner of the screen, then glanced at the positions of both sides, and suddenly she smiled softly into the microphone:

"I'll count down from three, and the enemy Shadow Blade will definitely die. Do you believe me?"

[Is it a bit inappropriate for us to be so arrogant, streamer?]

Who are these two people? Can we confuse their identities?

I'm betting the blue team is River, but I honestly can't tell who the red team is.

[666, so that's RAK team ganging up on random players, one player completely outclassing the other, and the other verbally provoking them.]

[Working together as a couple makes the work easier!]

[Ugh, how come you CP fans are so intrusive?]

[Are you all listening attentively to the anchor? Stop going off-topic. Please indicate whether you believe or not.]

[I don't believe it.]

The barrage of comments was extremely rebellious, with a string of "I don't believe it" floating by.

Li Zhi ignored her and slowly began to speak: "Three."

The mountain was still probing back and forth in front of the tower.

"two."

Xie Jichuan's shadow blade had already silently taken a step forward.

"one."

The throwing knife shot through the air and returned precisely, cleanly and efficiently, without the slightest unnecessary movement.

The mountain's portrait turned gray, and a kill notification popped up in the center of the screen.

Another 1v1 match has ended.

Okay! You win, streamer!

The letter I intercepted, I won too.

This was practically a massacre; the opposing team seemed completely inept at jungling.

[Do not kill, but do not mistreat. Amitabha.]

How many rounds are we going to play? Everyone's back in their rooms so quickly.

The third game began seamlessly.

In this game, Da Shan chose the hero Zhu Feng.

Xie Jichuan agreed without hesitation and locked in the same hero.

The live chat exploded instantly.

【Chasing the Wind? ? Am I seeing things??】

Isn't this the hero River debuted with in Ashes...?

[You must have been heavily criticized back then. I remember the comments were all saying, "Is that all?"]

River basically stopped playing this game afterward, and I thought he had retired from it...

【Bringing it out for a solo match now? What kind of story is this? Are they trying to whitewash themselves by playing in random matches?】

Li Zhi glanced at the comments and frowned more and more as she read them.

He can't stand seeing others cook their own food, and he also can't stand seeing others talk about Xie Jichuan cuisine.

With a blank expression, he moved his fingers and kicked out the ID that was shouting the loudest and most enthusiastically.

Then he cleared his throat, his tone serious and earnest:

"This is positive energy! Anyone who spouts nonsense will be given a 10,000-word ban package."

[Host, who am I actually impersonating?]

[The thief cries "Stop thief!"]

Did you forget that you were just talking about the opposing team?

[Only lychees are allowed to set fires, but bullet comments are not allowed to light up the sky.]

[I got this by dining for free.]

Li Zhi felt guilty for a moment, but then straightened her back with a righteous air:

"I'm telling the truth, while you're all spreading rumors without any evidence. It's different."

The live chat exploded with a frenzy of excitement from the CP (couple) fans.

[Old Chestnut fiercely protects her husband.]

[Old Li: Xie Jichuan, I've got your back.]

[What kind of nickname is "Old Chestnut"? That's awful. You two should leave the live stream.]

【oh oh.】

Wait, are you shippers really that sure this person is River?

Forget everything else, let's just kowtow first.

The hero Chaser is extremely mobile and has flexible and varied skill combos, making him a perfect fit for 1v1 combat.

Da Shan was clearly extremely confident in this hero, and he played exceptionally fiercely from the start, immediately engaging Xie Jichuan in a full combo attack.

Amidst the clash of swords, both sides lost half their health. Only after suffering heavy losses did they retreat and peacefully clear lanes to farm.

Xie Jichuan also changed his style from the previous game, which was to calmly develop his character, and his play became noticeably more aggressive.

However, after losing two games in a row, Da Shan became much more cautious and no longer confronted Xie Jichuan head-on.

Instead, he stayed in the back, clearing the minion wave, and occasionally crouching in the bushes, moving very cautiously, even appearing somewhat timid.

The viewers in the live chat started to get bored.

[Isn't the opposing team known for their aggressive playstyle? Why are they playing so timidly this game?]

[Playing Wind Chaser and still doing that bush-camping thing... I have the utmost contempt for that playstyle.]

"Go for it, bro! If we don't act now, the economic gap will widen again."

Li Zhi chuckled softly, her tone nonchalant: "Scared, huh?"

He paused, then slowly added, "Who isn't afraid of killing? He just killed three soldiers."

[This streamer is quite adept at playing both sides.]

[Coming here means learning; this witty and sometimes sarcastic livestream is for you.]

Dashan finally decided to take the initiative.

Taking advantage of the moment Xie Jichuan moved closer to the bushes, he dashed forward and flashed up.

However, Xie Jichuan's reaction was ridiculously fast; he dodged to the side almost simultaneously, and the skill missed.

The two exchanged skills in an instant, their blades flashing so fast that even Li Zhi couldn't see it clearly.

The next second, a kill notification popped up in the center of the screen, and Da Shan's head turned gray.

In the third 1v1 match, Xie Jichuan emerged victorious once again.

[Is this River's Wind Chaser? That can't be right. If he has this skill, how come he played so badly in his debut game?]

[It wasn't bad, was it? For a rookie player's first game on stage, it's quite impressive that they played flawlessly.]

[Sure, it's just that I didn't bring anyone along. I don't know what you idiots are complaining about.]

Seeing that the comments section was about to erupt into another argument over this, Li Zhi pinched the bridge of her nose with a headache and took the initiative to start a conversation:

"Aren't you curious about who that person on the other side is? Why don't you guys go dig some information out of them?"

According to Li Zhi's plan, by now the all-knowing netizens should have already found out that the person on the other side is Da Shan, and then they should be mocking him.

Why hasn't anyone brought this up yet?

Didn't he just waste his time streaming?
