She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"WLD's decision was brilliant. I was thinking that Draven was too fed and there was no reason to put him as a Vanguard, but now it seems that I didn't have enough stacks."

"Between risk and safety, WLD chose the latter. Admittedly, letting Draven participate in team fights might get him a kill or two, but we can't ignore the risks that come with team fights. After all, if Tahm Kench gets caught, their lineup only has enough fighting power in the bot lane in the early game."

"Draven has already used his bounty, and he's currently 1,700 gold ahead of Twitch in his lane. He's so fed!"

"..."

The commentators and viewers alike believed that BRS was at a significant disadvantage until Quinn pulled out the Statikk Shiv.

Many people were stunned to see Quinn clear the backline minions with an AQ combo in the mid lane, then clear the frontline minions with two auto-attacks, before using her ultimate to fly to the side lane.

Electric blades have been nerfed to the point of being less cost-effective, so I really didn't expect Quinn to be released.

And the results... seem pretty good.

Although Zilean can clear backline minions with a double Q, he doesn't have a good way to deal with melee minions. He can only wait for his Q and W skills to cool down and slowly auto-attack, so his wave clear and support speed is definitely not as good as Quinn's.

Quinn kept swimming around in the river. It didn't matter if he couldn't catch anyone on the flanks. As long as he could force WLD to retreat intermittently and let some soldiers slip through, he had already achieved his goal.

The effect seemed to be very good, but Ye Ziyue was getting more and more anxious.

WLD is being far too cautious, isn't it?

?239.乆乆乆

If Quinn doesn't get a single kill, she'll become severely underpowered after 20 minutes and won't be able to keep up with the damage output.

It's like a peerless sword striking a muddy pool, barely even shaking the mud.

Ye Ziyue is currently in a state of having nowhere to vent her anger, and she encounters setbacks wherever she goes.

The advantage of pushing lanes quickly is that you can move around more and have the initiative. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to target the enemy mid laner who is hiding, let alone an old man with a resurrection skill.

Tahm Kench is tough and durable, and he's hard to catch in the bot lane. Pyke's W makes him disappear instantly, and Draven's E can't interrupt him either.

Lulu's Flash-turn into a sheep?

What did Ike say?

So far, Ekko has successfully counter-ganked the bot lane at least six or seven times, as if he's bought a house in the bot lane.

The player with the right to move around frequently can't change the situation; it's like punching cotton, and the more they fight, the more frustrated they become.

Why do I feel so terrible?!

Another unsuccessful attempt to target the top lane, even with Flash failing to kill Tahm Kench, finally made Ye Ziyue slap her forehead in exasperation.

My blood pressure is about to rise.

She couldn't help but wonder if Su Mu had seen through their scheme from the very beginning.

Otherwise, how do you explain why this tactic, which was so effective in intra-team training and left the second youth team with little chance of resistance, wasn't as effective as expected?

Each time they leave the middle lane, the three members of WLD will consciously prepare to retreat.

Even when there was no sign of retreat, and it seemed like they could successfully capture and kill the opponent, they were repeatedly outmaneuvered by the opponent's last-minute escape.

How extreme is it? It's like a trendsetter about to embark on a journey into a mysterious world, only to suddenly come to a halt 0.01 seconds before.

Who would believe there wasn't something fishy going on?

Su Mu didn't put any pressure on him at all this game, and he was clearly a weak old man, practically a support character...

Why is it that even though they have the initiative in controlling the pace of the game, their actual impact is still not as great as Su Mu's?

If they weren't still in the competition, Ye Ziyue would have almost lost her composure and immediately grabbed Su Mu's collar to question him.

Did that damned little fish sister see through everything?

If so, and she finds the right way to deal with it, then Sister Zayu's ability to make on-the-spot judgments and think is far more terrifying than imagined.

Even if she didn't want to think about the possibility, Ye Ziyue understood that she had to admit that Su Mu had that kind of ability.

Before she could even consider how to change tactics, WLD made the change first.

Draven and Pyke switched to the mid lane to farm, while Zilean went to the bottom lane.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ziyue's delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed, and her face turned ugly.

She dared to aggressively pressure Su Mu's Zilean, but against a fed Draven with a Mana Dagger and an extra B.F. Sword, or a Pyke with strong engage abilities, even touching the minion wave a little too far forward could result in a major disaster.

To put it bluntly, you need the jungler to protect you, otherwise you'll have to go to the bottom lane and farm against Zilean.

But then, what advantage does Quinn in the mid lane still have?

Quinn's strategy of playing mid lane was to quickly expand her influence across three areas: top lane, bottom lane, and jungle. After completing Statikk Shiv, she would have 100% lane control and could go wherever she wanted thanks to her fast movement speed.

Going to the bottom lane to continue playing with the old man of time is like tying yourself to a birdcage; if you can't find him, you can only threaten the mid lane.

What Ye Ziyue found most unacceptable was that she had no choice but to go, whether she wanted to or not.

Otherwise, before the old man of time could be crushed to death by Lulu the rat, she herself would be under the tyranny of Draven's axe and Pyke's hook, so happy that she would be making peace signs with her hands, her eyes would roll back, and saliva would be dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Realizing her predicament, Ye Ziyue's face turned pale in the camera footage.

The BRS coaching staff are alright; they didn't look pale.

However, Zhu Jun's face, which was faintly flushed, seemed to be turning black.

From God's perspective, the situation he saw was far worse than what the players saw.

Completely out of rhythm, being led by the nose by WLD...

Some time after the regular season ended, everyone knew that WLD was a dark horse club team that could snowball an advantage and operate in a terrifying way, even RT couldn't handle it.

Those matches where WLD led the way invariably ended with the base exploding and the humiliating result of clicking the red failure button.

Now that the signs are emerging, if the momentum hadn't been reversed 20 minutes ago, it's almost impossible to see any chance of a comeback.

Several conflicts, both large and small, ensued, but the kill count remained relatively low, only affecting the ownership of one small dragon and two vanguards.

Draven is so fat that even Getp would beg for mercy after taking a few blows from his axe.

After a small-scale team fight where Ueno teleported into the jungle to flank and forcefully gank Draven, only to die himself, WLD suffered zero casualties, the chat was flooded with complaints.

Take it away!

It's really a matter of bloodline dominance. They got crushed in the regular season and they got crushed in the playoffs.

[This is an incredible player who went 1-0-0 after just a few minutes of shopping. Apart from killing the water ghost once, he had no other highlights. Even if Mu Ge chose an old man, he would still have a 1-0-5 record. His team participation rate is 100%.]

[It seems like they can only pin their hopes on a comeback; BRS is 5,000 gold behind...]

Unfortunately, BRS fans were still disappointed.

When Su Mu took out the two-piece set and reached level 13, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

"Next, it's time to implement the happiness plan."

"rush!"

"Come on, everyone catch one bomb."

With a casual flick of his fingers, Su Mu repeatedly pressed QWQ, attaching bombs to Bai Wei and Yan Hua's heads respectively, and giving Bai Wei an E speed boost.

As a result, the audience witnessed a scene that made them exclaim "Wow!"

Tahm Kench burrowed underground and slithered into the crowd. As he reappeared, the bomb on his head exploded with a "Boom!" Ekko appeared in the Time Warp Field and instantly entered it, stunning three people while his own bomb exploded simultaneously.

Before any other sources of damage were provided, the rat that ate two bombs already had its health reduced by half.

It's important to know that of the four skills of the Time Elder, only Q provides damage, and its base damage and multiplier are both very high.

Provide a little AOE damage, Pyke stealthily moves nearby, dashes in, and uses his ultimate, instantly killing two squishy targets and causing casualties.

BRS was stunned. Despite their hasty response and eventual wipeout, they couldn't manage to kill a single person...

Seeing the golden light appear on Tahm Kench with a sliver of health, I couldn't stop my skills and killed him. I watched helplessly as Tahm Kench revived with almost half health left me nearly fainting.

It's all over.

This is outrageous! They actually let two people bring bombs into the arena, and their coordination was so seamless that it was impossible for anyone to react...

I thought Tahm Kench had gone mad to dare to go into the crowd alone, but who would have thought he'd give someone a big beating as soon as he came out.

To ensure the bomb hit the squishy targets, Tahm Kench even used Flash to adjust his position.

乆乆乆乆!

This tactic is too outrageous; it must be Su Mu's doing, she must have been the one directing it!

240. The old man who's sent to his death?

With the end of this wave of team fights, WLD's period of dominance has officially begun.

To be precise, it was Su Mu's ability to assist in opening team fights that made BRS impossible to defend against, allowing it to open fights instantly even from a distance of over a thousand yards.

It's either Ekko dribbling and accelerating with his E followed by a push stick and flashing into the circle to lock down the enemy, or Tahm Kench recklessly using his W to flank and block the enemy, or Pyke using Dark Claw, unleashing all sorts of movement and fancy moves.

BRS is no longer a question of whether it can withstand the impact, but rather that it cannot break out of its group formation at all, otherwise it will be in danger at all times. WLD lineup can move around the map and provide support very quickly.

"I think I've figured out the strengths of WLD's lineup."

"I'm all ears." Luan Ming understood, but commentary still required cooperation with his partner.

"This lineup originally had very poor initiative; the only reliable initiator was Pyke's E followed by Dark Claw for a headshot, but Pyke rarely took on the responsibility of using E to dive into the enemy team, since once he went in, he wouldn't be able to get out;"

"But now, with Zilean's speed boost and ultimate protection, Pyke's risk of initiating a team fight is minimized. Ekko has built-in survivability; unless Lulu polymorphs him and then uses various soft crowd control abilities, using his ultimate isn't a problem."

"As for Tahm Kench, I really didn't expect him to be so strong. He held his own against Sett in a straight-up fight in the top lane. Aside from being a bit clumsy, his tankiness is something BRS can't handle with his current farm. That shield from his thick skin is terrifying."

"It can be said that once Su Mu's Time Traveler gets going, his highly functional skills, combined with his teammates, directly compensate for all his shortcomings."

"Ekko has double insurance, Pyke's reaping is guaranteed, and Tahm Kench only needs to use his Q to stick to one person to achieve his goal. Of course, to achieve the ideal situation, an economic advantage is indispensable. But then again, how many strategies can achieve very good results without an economic advantage?"

"Even the suicide Sion build requires an economic advantage, or at least not a significant disadvantage, to be viable."

"Faced with the Zilean Elder who can continuously grant speed boosts every two seconds, there are two people in WLD team fights that BRS will find difficult to touch. Draven can only be dealt with by Twitch, provided that Twitch can survive as an assassin."

"It's foreseeable that BRS will have an even tougher time. With Draven and Pyke dominating the mid lane, Quinn's support role is almost nonexistent, and their overall economy is nearly 6,000 gold behind WLD. The situation is dire..."

"That makes sense. To be honest, even a 30/70 split is a bit too kind to BRS's current situation." Luan Ming shook his head.

Esports is inherently unpredictable; ideal scenarios cannot always occur.

Su Mu had tried his best to perform, but his teammates still made mistakes due to some minor details.

We can't blame them for these mistakes. After all, the "Time Man" strategy is one that has never been used in training or competitions; it relies entirely on their experience and improvisation during matches.

Important decisions are made with Su Mu's guidance and advice, and situations where things don't go well can't be avoided just because you want to.

Ultimately, even if BRS is currently at a disadvantage, it doesn't mean they are easy targets. They are one of the strong teams that made it to the playoffs with honor, so how could they not put up a fight?

WLD's top and support players failed to coordinate effectively in the jungle, resulting in a disjointed situation where they were killed in a position where their teammates couldn't provide timely support, thus squandering a golden opportunity to secure the dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that the three core players, Zhongye, Liuling, Ersanshiba, and AD, were still alive, including an Ekko with Smite, BRS would definitely have seized the opportunity to counterattack and take the dragon without hesitation.

Killing Tahm Kench and Pyke right now isn't enough to sustain a counter-attack. We can't keep them in place, let alone engage them. With Zilean around, two bombs can block the way, and a speed boost will send them flying in the blink of an eye.

BRS would never dare to chase after them into the dark jungle, given the formidable damage output of Ekko and Draven.

That's a three-piece Draven set!

"No rush. Once Ayu and the other two are resurrected, Weiwei, you guys put pressure on the upper half of the bracket. I'll see if we can take a bait and let BRS dodge for a while."

"I will use the dragon if necessary."

Bai Wei didn't say much, but instantly understood Su Mu's plan. On the field, she knew what state to maintain and wouldn't be affected by her personal feelings for Su Mu.

Su Mu's lips curled up, and he smiled as he sped into the jungle, ready to do something big.

[Here it comes! Mu Ge's mysterious smile, mission progress 1/1, there's going to be a good show!!]

Her fans' eyes lit up instantly.

Fans familiar with Su Mu know that she has a habit of showing her signature smile when she is about to do something bad—a charming and attractive smile.

It gives off the vibe of a bad guy who's about to toy with an innocent young girl.

But she is a girl herself, and the stark contrast between her heroic appearance and her appearance always sparks a huge wave of enthusiastic comments whenever similar scenes appear. It's hard to say how many of those who call themselves "female ketones" are actually genuine.

However, the barrage of comments didn't include many short, enthusiastic phrases; instead, it was immediately drawn to Su Mu's audacious, almost perverse, actions.

To be precise, it was the director who was attracted.

"Huh? How did Su Mu flash onto the BRS high ground?!"

"The top and middle lanes are blocked, it looks like she's about to lose her lane!" Luan Ming stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered by this scene.
