She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"Ziyue...it's almost time, let's go..."

"Dingzhou, tell me, who's prettier, me or Su Mu? Don't lie!" Ye Ziyue bared her little tiger teeth, huffing and puffing.

"This..." Ding Zhou's eye twitched. He thought to himself that this was an easy question, but after thinking for a moment, he could only weakly say, "Su Mu is prettier... but no matter how pretty she is, she's not my type. I only like people like you!"

"I'm so young, what's there for you to like!"

"It's okay, the little ones are the cutest..."

"What did you say! So even you think I'm small, right?!" Ye Ziyue exploded again, arching her back like a little female cat, her fur standing on end.

Dingzhou was in a terrible predicament, unsure whether to speak or remain silent.

Fortunately, Wang Junxin, a boy standing next to her, noticed something was wrong and interrupted in time.

"Ahem... Don't just stand there like an idiot at the esports club entrance, let's hurry up and go inside for the match, the commentators in the live stream are all rambling on and on while they wait for us..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyue snorted coldly, glanced at Dingzhou, and swung her ponytail as she walked forward.

The two girls said they couldn't help, and followed with smirks, leaving the two boys behind whispering to each other.

"Dude, you're really something! You even dared to chase after Ye Ziyue. If you take her out, you might run into the police and get arrested. And that little devil's personality..."

"Legal lolis are the best! You don't know anything!" Dingzhou pouted and chuckled foolishly, "Female brats are nice... but Ziyue only switches to her female brat form for people she dislikes. I really want to be scolded by her with a disdainful look..."

"Holy crap..." Wang Junxin's face was filled with horror, and his eyes changed as he looked at Dingzhou.

Are all guys playing this perverted game?

Instead of pursuing two beautiful women like Su Mu and Bai Wei, he went after a little girl who looks like an elementary school student. Even if it's legal, the police or aunties won't know anything about it unless they see his ID!

Even if Su Mubai and Wei are too good for each other, Zhang Xiaoyu and the others are also quite good-looking. If that doesn't work, Liu Xuan and Ning Xinxin in the team can still get close to them first. Why bother with Ye Ziyue?

"Brother, I don't understand you. You actually like little girls..."

"Tch, Old Wang, you have to think of it this way: when that little devil looks down on you with disdain, like mocking you or calling you useless, and then you turn her into a pitiful, begging-for-mercy state, the satisfaction is unparalleled..."

Imagining a certain scene, Dingzhou looked ecstatic. "The most important thing is that it's legal, legal! As a small child, there's no need to worry about being resisted if things continue, right?"

"Ignoring the little brat's pleas for mercy and continuing to discipline her—the feeling was indescribably exhilarating..."

Wang Junxin: "???"

Fear... Is it that I'm out of touch with the times, or is Dingzhou's XP just too different from others?

Let's not overthink it and just focus on playing well in the final.

……

With the arrival of the five members of the Qingxin team, and after they finished setting up the equipment with the five members of Su Mu's team, the final officially began.

"Should we try to find out what the opponent is capable of in the first game?" Zhao Lisi asked.

"No need. Since we drew the red side, we can just play it safe and counter whatever comes our way."

"Okay, let's stick to the original plan and ban the heroes the opponent is good at. Hmm... should we target Qiyana?"

Su Mu shook his head, "No need. If Ye Ziyue dares to choose, then I dare to accept."

Qiyana is a champion that needs to carry the game to win when played in the mid lane. Even in the jungle, she doesn't perform that well when the team is at a disadvantage.

The numbers are high, but not to the point where they're strong enough to make bricks fly.

Soon, the results of the ten bans for both sides were announced. When they saw that the red team had not banned Qiyana, the commentators, the audience, and Ye Ziyue herself were all stunned.

They dare to release data monsters?

Ye Ziyue bit her lip, guessing why Su Mu released Qiyana.

Did they intentionally release the champions that are easier to counter Qiyana and have a related synergy system to make her a viable pick?

But Qiyana can play both jungle and mid lane, making her a versatile champion.

"Ziyue, do you want to choose?" Ning Xinxin asked.

She didn't have much time left to hesitate.

Her eyes darted around rapidly, and Ye Ziyue gritted her teeth and said, "Choose, I'll operate it!"

Since Su Mu deliberately released the supermodel, wouldn't it mean you're afraid of her if you didn't dare to take her?

Hmph, I'm not only going to get Qiyana, but I'm also going to ruthlessly beat that nobody who tried to steal Bai Wei's affections from me!

"It's locked!" Commentator Zhou Ling had an "I knew it" look on her face. "Regarding the move of letting Qiyana go, I'm more inclined to think that it was a trap set to lure Qingxin into the pit."

"It's hard to say. Qiyana was rarely banned in previous matches. No one has ever seen Xiaomu or her opponents play her, so we don't know how she will counter her."

"Step by Step to Victory picked Ezreal, so you're planning to build a bot lane duo first? Should we pick Karma too? She's a pretty strong support to pair with Ezreal right now... uh, Alistar?"

"It's confirmed, it really is a bull's head!"

emmm… three

For a moment, Zhang Hongwu and his companion were completely bewildered, not quite understanding what was so appealing about the EZ-Anivia combination.

75. Dual-Assisted Swing Research

Ye Ziyue and the others were stunned once again, not understanding the strategy of winning step by step.

“EZ can follow up with Alistar’s WQ combo to engage, but the problem is that EZ needs a soft support or mage support with wave clear more than a hard support.” ADC Liu Xuan stroked his chin, looking puzzled.

"Since the enemy team is going for the bottom lane first, we'll just follow suit and farm there," Wang Junxin said.

"Luna duo or female police unit?"

"Let's pick Luna, play aggressively."

With the Lucian and Nami bot lane synergy confirmed, much attention has shifted to the red side, eager to see who will be the next picks for Step by Step to Victory.

Many people don't quite understand why they didn't follow up with the mid laner and instead chose the bottom lane first. Wouldn't that give away the red side's counter-pick advantage?

Or is it that the Qiyana pick from Fang Qingxin will be a mid-jungle flex pick?

Zhang Xiaoyu fell into deep thought, hesitating between the Stone Man and several other tanks.

"It's fine if you want to take the Murphy," Su Mu said with a smile.

"I'll stick with the tree. The rock golem is too stupid. Choosing the tree will give the opponent the illusion of swaying."

"Okay." Su Mu helped her lock the hero.

Zhao Lisi helped lock in the jungle carry Graves that Bai Wei wanted to use, and the remaining mid-lane champion has yet to be revealed.

"Step by Step to Victory didn't take advantage of the red side at all. They picked positions first and kept the mid laner hidden until the very end." Zhou Ling scratched her head.

"Perhaps they reserved the special spot for Xiao Mu because she is their core trump card."

Not only did the commentators not quite understand it, but high-ranking casual viewers who were following the game, and even some members of esports teams, frowned.

This doesn't make sense. In the previous two BO3 matches, we won step by step, and it wasn't uncommon for the red side to start, but this is the first time we've done the draft like this.

Those two BO3 matches also showed that Step by Step to Victory is a team with some skill, especially the mid and jungle players.

Those in professional teams can generally tell that these two players are at least Master level in the international server, but they haven't fully demonstrated their abilities yet, or rather, they haven't encountered opponents who can make them perform at their peak.

Thinking about this, some people are no longer in a hurry and are taking a more relaxed approach to see what kind of strategy the "Step by Step to Victory" is really up to.

Ye Ziyue thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't understand why Su Mu wanted to leave a mid-lane counter-pick position. She could only guess at a rough conclusion.

Could it be that the "small fish" sister saw her own top 100 strength on the international server and knew that she had been approached by professional teams, so she was afraid to pick first?

It's not impossible.

"Hmph, he really is just a nobody, but for the sake of Big Sister Bai Wei, I won't hold back."

Let Sister Zayu witness her progress over the past three months... Ye Ziyue thought to herself, and then gave her teammate her opinion on who to choose.

Ultimately, the Ueno duo of Rumble and Sejuani was chosen.

Kennen would have been a better pick, but considering that the enemy team has Alistar, whose Exhaust and W abilities are quite effective against Kennen, we decided against it.

Now it's up to Su Mu to choose which hero to face off against her Qiyana.

Ye Ziyue leaned back tactically, and when she felt the view was not right, she adjusted the height of her gaming chair.

But as soon as I looked back at the BP interface, I saw a hero that I never expected to be locked.

Before she could even open her eyes wide and ask a question, Wang Junxin spoke up, looking completely bewildered.

"Wait, Kalma?!"

"Huh? Who's the support on the other side?" Liu Xuan was also confused.

Alistar support and Karma support are on completely different levels of trouble and annoyance. Or perhaps Maokai might also be a flexible champion?

My brain is about to overload.

Dingzhou's lips twitched. "Karma mid, right? Maokai top, Alistar support."

"Take a look." Ye Ziyue frowned.

It wasn't until the game connection screen appeared that everyone knew who was playing support.

It wasn't a big tree, nor a bull's head, but Kalmar.

The most normal Kalmar...

The lineups of both sides are as follows:

Blue team's lineup: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Qiyana, Bot lane Lucian, Support Nami.

Red AlphaGo 1's Step-by-Step Winning Strategy: Top lane Maokai, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Alistar, Bot lane Ezreal, Support Karma.

"Forgive my ignorance as an international server master, but I've never encountered a mid-lane Alistar and don't know any strategies," Zhang Wuhong said honestly.

"Hmm... Judging from the previous matches, Xiao Mu has a lot of ideas. Maybe he has developed a style or strategy that we have never seen before."

"This looks very exciting. Alright, both sides enter Summoner's Rift, the finals officially begin!"

There's not much to say about the top lane matchup. Maokai can only withstand pressure against Rumble, but Rumble has short range, while Maokai has a lock-on skill, making it easy for him to coordinate with the jungler. If Rumble wants to exert high pressure, he needs to take a considerable risk.

On the surface, the focus of both teams' lineups will be on the bottom lane.

Luna is undoubtedly the top burst damage combo in the current version. Her strong period lasts from level 2 to level 18 without any problems. She is only very weak at the start of the game at level 1.

EZ Karma is the top laner in the bottom lane. Once she gets lane priority, her poke is unbearable and her pressure is extremely strong.

When facing a gank from the jungler, as long as they avoid key crowd control abilities, EZ's mobility and Karma's E shield with its high burst movement speed make them quite survivable. They are the kind of combination that isn't too afraid of facing anyone.

In reality, Su Mu, who chose Alistar for the mid lane, was the one who attracted more attention.

There's not much to say about the two champions, Alistar and Qiyana, at level 1. The camera then switches back to the bottom lane, where both sides trade blows at level 1.

In the expected scenario, Luna is unlikely to out-farm Ezreal and Karma, and will most likely be forced to level 2 first, so she needs to play cautiously in the early game.

However, the jungler is a variable that can have an impact.

Even Su Mu couldn't have predicted that Sejuani would gank the bottom lane at level 2, specifically targeting Karma who had no mobility skills. Because Karma was pushing too far into the lane, Nami leveled up to 2 and flashed in to use her Q, forcing Karma to use her Flash to create distance.

Karma loses Flash, and if she positions herself too far forward against a strong, burst-damage combo like Luna, she's easily killed or severely damaged, losing her laning phase advantage.

"You guys absolutely have to C, otherwise my sacrifice will have been in vain," Dingzhou said with a bitter face.

Even a Sejuani can disrupt the rhythm if she fails to gank at level 2.

When facing a carry jungler, if a herbivore jungler falls behind even by a small margin, their development in the jungle will be constantly suppressed.

Fortunately, Rumble has lane priority in the top half of the map, so there's not too much worry about Graves invading the jungle; he just might fall behind in farming speed.

Is it really?

When Sejuani returned to the jungle to farm, she saw Graves take down the remaining raptors at the F6 camp with a single shot and leave. Her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Who starts with blue buff and invades the jungle?

That's incredibly bold. Aren't you afraid Qiyana will bring a Water Elemental Q to ambush people?

Bai Wei swaggered across the mid lane towards the top red buff area, and casually used her Q on the minions to help Su Mu lower their health.

?76. Son of the Tower

Ye Ziyue's plan to push the lane to the tower and then go into the jungle to have a heart-to-heart talk with Bai Wei fell through, so she pouted and could only vent her anger on Su Mu.

What a despicable little minion sister! Just wait, I'll definitely beat her to a pulp first!

I may like Bai Wei, but I would never throw a match against her; that would be an insult to her.

Ye Ziyue glanced at the low-health cannon on the line and thought; she went up to take it down, but was pushed away by the Minotaur.
