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

Even Cheng Yi, who was engaged in a heated 1v1 on the top lane, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's going on? Even Void couldn't escape?"

Ling Wang, somewhat annoyed, tapped the portraits of Shi Gui and Lie Feng on the map:

"I think I know HY's new tactics, and the core of them is those two."

Jiang Xingle yelled, "How sinister! This is too sinister! They actually used a sundial to refresh the wind wall of the fierce wind!"

He explained quickly, "The instant Lie Feng controlled us, Shi Gui used his ultimate again, allowing Lie Feng to control us twice, directly killing us under the tower first, and then pushing us back into their faces!"

The other three were all taken aback.

Li Zhi frowned, thought quickly for a few seconds, and then spoke in a somber tone:

Didn't the sundial company also release an announcement about readjusting its CD two weeks ago?

Xie Jichuan hummed in agreement, his voice deepening: "Both heroes have had their cooldowns reduced, so it will probably be even harder to fight them in the late game. Let's try to finish this quickly."

The bottom lane duo continued laning after respawning.

Having learned from their first experience, Jiang Xingle and Ling Wang deliberately stayed outside the range of the Gale Force ultimate move, not giving Fish any chance to control them.

Li Zhi followed Xie Jichuan and seized two more opportunities to dominate the top lane, securing two kills and managing to recover some of the gold lost earlier.

Both sides' side lane towers have fallen, and they've started to group up in the mid lane for a team fight.

Xie Jichuan calmly directed the operation: "Star, are you confident you can hit someone? Whoever you control, Lychee and I will kill them."

Jiang Xingle's tone also turned serious: "I'm looking for an opportunity."

As a wave of minions converged in the mid lane, Jiang Xingle timed his move perfectly, throwing his stone shield so that it landed right at the feet of the enemy marksman and support.

Xie Jichuan and Li Zhi immediately followed up with their attacks, but only managed to kill the enemy marksman.

Lie Feng stood steadily within the range of Shi Gui's ultimate move, his figure flickered, and he returned to the state where he was not under control 0.8 seconds ago.

Li Zhi's pupils contracted, and she immediately shouted, "Gale and lightning! Run!"

But it was already too late.

Fish manipulated the Gale Flash to appear behind Ling Wang, and with a powerful Wind Wall, instantly pushed the delicious little marksman under Xiao Ai's Shadow Blade.

Jiang Xingle and Cheng Yi fell one after another in an attempt to protect Ling Wang, and the team battle ended hastily.

Three for one, a huge loss.

HY pushed onto the high ground, forcing Li Zhi and Xie Jichuan to return to the fountain to replenish their health.

This team fight directly hit the vital artery.

Although Jiang Xingle was a bit unsteady on his feet, he was, after all, a veteran player, and he offered encouragement to the silent Ling Wang:

"It's okay, we'll regain our advantage after a couple more rounds."

Li Zhi glanced at the equipment bar and said seriously, "It's a bit late. The time-dial cooldown gear is all done, so the ultimate skill should be usable every five seconds."

The ultimate skill of Gale is refreshed every five seconds, so you can imagine how strong its control is.

The economic gap has widened, RAK is being firmly suppressed on the high ground, the jungle has been completely lost, and vision control has been completely taken over by HY.

Just as Li Zhi had thought, Shi Gui unleashed his ultimate skill without limit, using the wind wall of the gale to press down on the tower wave after wave, forcing RAK to retreat step by step.

At 38 minutes, the RAK crystal exploded.

The score is fixed at 0:1.

The moment I took off my headphones, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the HY stands, almost lifting the roof off the entire stadium.

At the same time, the commentator's voice cracked with excitement, echoing through the stadium's sound system to everyone's ears:

"Incredible! HY has actually discovered this playstyle for two obscure, bottom-tier heroes! A combination of Time Dial and Gale, a Wind Wall every five seconds—who can withstand that?!"

The commentary on Pepsi was equally passionate:

"This is OvO! This is Fish! We can always trust Fish's initiation and support!"

The RAK members exchanged glances, then silently stepped off the stage, their steps heavier than usual.

Pushing open the door to the rest room, the entire training team looked up at them, their eyes filled with obvious tension.

After all, this was their first point loss in the regular season, and no one dared to be careless, fearing that the youngsters might have some mental issues.

Liang Shoucheng leaned against the table, still clutching the well-worn training notebook in his hand. His gaze swept over the five men's faces before he broke the silence:

"Don't look so down. It's just a small loss, not like we're eliminated."

Song Bo quickly stepped forward, handing each of them a bottle of water, his smile warm and friendly.

"Right, right, let's have some water to calm down first. HY's lineup is clearly a trump card they've been practicing for a long time. It's normal for us to suffer losses since it's our first time facing them."

Jiang Xingle unscrewed the bottle cap, took a big gulp, and, having recovered, spoke first:

"The main problem is that the combination of Time Dial and Gale is too disgusting... A wind wall every five seconds, even if I hit someone, it's useless, he can just use Rewind to break it all."

Ling Wang echoed in a low voice, "My marksman role is being suppressed and is very uncomfortable. Every time I try to deal damage, I get pushed away by the wind wall."

Li Zhi sat in the corner, staring at the water bottle in her hand, without saying a word.

He mentally replayed every moment of the previous game, Fish's ultimate skill landing point, OvO's positioning habits...

His gaze shifted to Jiang Xingle, his tone carrying a defiant spirit: "Next game, give Star the support role to protect the team."

He paused, then added, "Doesn't Fish like to initiate team fights? We'll let him initiate, but he won't get any kills."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingle's eyes lit up: "Protecting and assisting others? My old profession?"

He rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try. "That would be great! I've been worried about not having a chance to use my skills as a nanny-type support."

Ling Wang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders visibly relaxing.

In the previous game, he had almost no room to deal damage in front of Gale's wind wall. If Jiang Xingle had been there to protect him closely, the pressure on him would have been much less.

Liang Shoucheng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's change tactics for the next game."

The break between games was short; the players only had time for a brief exchange before getting up and returning to the competition stage.

The two teams met in front of the locker room, but with the match imminent, they nodded to each other and silently passed by.

Li Zhi walked at the back of the line with her head down, her mind still replaying the rhythm and details of the next round.

My gaze was lowered and fixed on the ground in front of me when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a hand trembling slightly.

She was so thin that her joints were clearly visible, and on the inside of her wrists, which were covered by her sleeves, a few faint red marks were faintly visible.

Li Zhi paused, then abruptly looked up.

It's OvO.
