Ultimately, it's a team made up of college students, with most of the leaders being masters or grandmasters, and the majority of the team members being of lower skill level. Having one international server champion is already quite impressive.
We can't expect those college students to come up with too many "whys".
There are many teams, and the matches are best-of-one (BO1). Whoever loses a match is eliminated, and there are six matches every day.
The draw results showed that Su Mu and his five teammates would not face their first team until the third day after the start of the competition.
After two days of competition, based on the results, the Kleptomancy rune was mostly used in the top and bottom lanes.
The top laner is Gangplank, practically a must-ban or must-pick. The combination of Kleptomancy and the extra gold from his Q passive's execute allows for incredibly fast scaling.
Of course, while it's said to be a must-ban or must-pick, in reality, many teams' top laners don't know how to play Gangplank effectively.
Besides the captain, there are a number of top laners with relatively long range, such as Kennen and Jayce, whose status has improved significantly compared to the previous patch.
This was tough on Zhang Xiaoyu. With so many gold-stealing monsters on the top lane, it was incredibly difficult for her, especially since she only played tank heroes. Unless she was completely protected, she easily became a walking gold mine for the enemy.
Su Mu said there was no good solution to this, and in most cases, companies can only deal with whatever comes their way.
As mentioned before, very few university esports teams composed of students are strictly disciplined. Most only know a few heroes, and last-minute practice is simplistic and prone to problems.
We can only proceed slowly, sustaining ourselves through war.
The teams that made it to the offline stage were all quite skilled, but they posed little threat to Su Mu, allowing him to advance through the rounds relatively easily.
In two out of the three matches, Zhang Xiaoyu dominated the top lane, and she and Bai Wei were able to hold the game, quickly defeating their opponents and securing victory after grouping up.
As more and more teams were eliminated, after several days of intense competition, only four teams remained.
These four teams will have a short one-day rest before the final winner is decided and will travel to Chengdu to participate in the quarterfinals BO5 competition.
It's worth mentioning that Ye Ziyue's team is also among these four, but their opponent is not Su Mu.
Only temporarily...
If both teams defeat their opponents, they will face a life-or-death battle for a qualifying spot.
Each university has two teams, which was originally intended to provide an extra reserve force to represent the school. Making it to the quarterfinals and qualifying for the internal competition is already a great success.
……
On the eve of the battle for qualification spots, Su Mu and Bai Wei were still sleeping in the same bed.
Bai Wei suddenly moved closer to Su Mu, who was lying on her side, and wrapped her arms around Su Mu's lower abdomen and slightly above it.
"What's wrong?" Su Mu opened her eyes and asked in a low voice when she felt two soft mounds pressing against her back.
It was past two in the morning, and Zhao Lisi and the other two had already gone to sleep. She thought Bai Wei was asleep too, but she was wrong.
"The heating isn't very strong today, and the blankets aren't warm enough..."
"Oh, right." Su Mu didn't think much of it.
Bai Wei knew that she was afraid of the cold, so these past few days they had been sleeping in the same bed, and basically when they woke up the next day, they were still pressed together.
Hmm... Su Mu discovered that she actually has quite the potential to be a human-shaped body pillow.
Hey?
Suddenly, Su Mu felt an attack on his chest, and a charmingly husky low voice sounded in his ear.
"See, I was right before, Mu Mu, you were still underdeveloped back then, but now you're already quite well-developed..."
Su Mu chuckled inwardly; it was just a system reward he'd drawn…
Bai Wei's hand, which was on her chest, did nothing wrong; she merely felt the size of the area before moving it away and returning it to her lower abdomen.
"I suddenly regret developing."
"why?"
"I don't feel as comfortable with B+ now as I used to. If I reach D or above in another year or so, I'll be able to understand your troubles."
Bai Wei smiled wryly, "Too big is indeed not good..."
"Well, it's not good for me personally, it's troublesome, but it's definitely not troublesome for others..." Su Mu suddenly chuckled softly.
"Huh? I don't understand."
"I see..."
As she spoke, Su Mu suddenly turned over, her little hand sneaking inside Bai Wei's pajamas and moving upwards.
The feel is unbeatable; one hand definitely isn't enough...
"I really don't know which bastard will benefit in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wei's face instantly turned red. Even in the dim light, she could still see the mischievous smile in Su Mu's eyes.
"Mumu~~"
How can you insult yourself?
Amidst her shyness, Bai Wei couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, and could only sigh as she suppressed her feelings.
Many times when Su Mu joked that she would end up with some bastard, wasn't she also doing the same thing?
The thought of Mu Mu possibly marrying someone of the opposite sex and even having children in the future makes her feel uncomfortable.
If only we could be each other's scumbags...
But she couldn't and didn't dare to express her feelings... If she did, who knew if she would lose her sisterhood?
This is fine as it is, this is fine as it is.
Bai Wei did not pull Su Mu's hand away; instead, she reached out and covered the back of Su Mu's hand, making the distance between them even more intimate.
"Huh...?" Su Wuyi was stunned.
She was just about to move her hand away...
"Go to sleep, Mumu, you have a match tomorrow."
"Emmm...okay..."
A warm, fragrant breeze wafted over, and in the dim light, Su Mu noticed that Bai Wei had closed her eyes, so he withdrew what he wanted to say.
Being a girl has another advantage: in such a sensual situation, you won't be unable to sleep.
Sigh... If only Weiwei liked girls, then she could do some abnormal things that go beyond what's normal between girls...
Unfortunately, there aren't that many "what ifs" or "what ifs" in the world.
A cold wind howled outside the window, but warmth filled the room.
Night is falling, and dawn is approaching.
87. A Yasuo player could really beat her.
The next day, Su Mu was the first to open his eyes.
[Sleeping Together Buff in Effect]
[Without potential factors that could interfere with mental state, you will achieve a refreshed state with a slight increase in reaction time and speed, lasting for 20 hours.]
Breakfast, morning exercise, reaction time training, etc.—all part of a professional athlete's training regimen…
The morning passed quickly, and when it was almost time, the five people who had finished lunch early arrived at the competition venue.
"Welcome to the National College League! The match between Guangzhou University's Step by Step to Victory and South China Normal University's Orca Team is about to begin!"
"Both teams have performed admirably in previous matches, so today's game is destined to be a fierce battle. Let's wait and see!"
Many spectators came to the venue after buying tickets, but there weren't many empty seats.
The host guided both contestants to their seats on stage and began testing and checking the equipment.
The draft phase began shortly afterward, and the match commenced.
Su Mu had watched the Orca team's match recordings in the morning and had a general understanding of their level. Without deliberately suppressing their performance, they finished the match in just 25 minutes and were now waiting for their next opponent to advance.
If we win, we can set off for Chengdu on a chosen date.
……
In the backstage temporary lounge, Su Mu and his teammates were watching the second team's match.
Ye Ziyue's team, Qunyi Linsan (4), gained a significant advantage at the beginning, reaching a 4,000-point lead in the first 15 minutes.
"Oh dear, I didn't expect to have to play another BO1 match against the alumni team," Zhang Xiaoyu exclaimed.
"Let them fight. I've beaten them twice at school, there's nothing to worry about," Zhou Xuemin said calmly.
Having been through the trials of the previous three matches, they are no longer the rookies who would get so nervous that their hands and feet would tremble slightly when they stepped onto the stage.
Sometimes I might get nervous when I play poorly, but my performance is undoubtedly much better than it was on the first day of the competition.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, shall we start discussing what system to use to fight Ye Ziyue and the others?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked.
I feel like there's no point in watching the game anymore.
The others also turned their gazes to Su Mu, wanting to know what she was thinking.
Five 1qi(eight)(eight)O Abandon tumor "No".
To everyone's surprise, Su Mu stretched out his index finger and shook it, uttering a startling statement.
"Ye Ziyue and her team have an 80% chance of losing. Their lineup isn't suited for large-scale team fights, and they lack split-pushing heroes, putting them at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the draft phase."
"It's not hard to see that the Blazing Inferno team is very well prepared; they've clearly done in-depth research on Ye Ziyue and her group."
At this point, Su Mu put his hands back in his pockets and shook his head, "Although Ning Xinxin's captain has gained a 2,000 gold lead over her laner with the help of the mid and jungle, her skill level is lacking. Even the most basic double barrel combo is inconsistent, making it difficult for her to perform well in team fights."
"If the captain can't perform, the others won't be able to deal enough damage. Relying on a Talon who is weak in the late game is unrealistic. Once the game is dragged out to 30 minutes by the Infernal Mark, the situation will be reversed."
Bai Wei nodded gently upon hearing this; her thoughts were much the same as Su Mu's.
"Uh, that makes sense. Although what Brother Mu said is a bit counterintuitive... I still believe in Brother Mu!"
"Keep reading..."
……
Countless people, including the commentators, were amazed that both teams were so strong, advancing to the final round.
To everyone's surprise, they were all proven wrong.
When Baron Nashor spawned, the entire team attempted to force a team fight around Baron, but the Captain was the first to be caught out and killed.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu finally understood just how accurate Su Mu's judgment of people really was.
Group flirting with Yi O Yi abandoned (5) 94 Scar Captain as the core of the team, how could he have reached that position? It's outrageous...
With the core collapsing, it's difficult for Talon, an assassin, to break through the formation of the Infernal Mark. Once caught, he'll be controlled to death.
With Da Long being taken over, the situation instantly reversed, and Qing Xin was completely thrown into disarray, quickly falling into the rhythm of the Karmic Fire Mark.
It didn't even take 30 minutes; in just 27 minutes and 47 seconds, Qingxin's main crystal health bar was completely depleted.
Few people expected it to end this way.
"As expected," Su Mu said calmly.
"Ye Ziyue and the others really lost... Wow, Mu Ge is amazing! No wonder he's destined to be a professional player, my idol!"
"What a pity, I thought I could see the little devil in the veil again..."
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to have this idea, Sister Liz."
Is that strange?
"A little..."
"Enough with the chit-chat," Su Mu interrupted them with a smile. "Let's have a quick meeting to discuss some things to keep in mind for the match in ten minutes. Especially Xiaoyu, you need to remember what I said: the opposing top laner is at least a Grandmaster."
"Yes, sir!" the neighbor replied.
...V
Meanwhile, in the rest room of the Blazing Inferno team.
The five members, having returned to rest, casually pulled out chairs and sat down. For many viewers, their competition IDs left a deep impression.
Each person's ID includes the character for "fire," and the remaining character indicates their location; it's very easy to remember.
For example, top lane is like "getting hot," and jungle is like "wildfire"... ba
Just by hearing it, you can tell what position they play. It's even easier to remember than Su Mu's team's smaller size and single-name format.
