She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"It can be released."

Hearing that their teammates in the bottom lane didn't object, the top and jungle players took the hero.

"Tower" refers to Kalista, who was nicknamed "Skateboard Shoes" because of her ability to slide while dealing damage. "Treasure" naturally refers to Gem. Su Mu even used this hero as a jungler in the early days of his live streams to create some entertainment.

"Hmm, is the other side really that naive?" Zhang Xiaoyu stroked her chin.

Zhou Xuemin countered, "If the opposing team picked a healer, what would you think?"

"It'll definitely be support."

"Look, isn't this it?"

"Okay then..."

"The original plan remains unchanged. Vivi will get Taliyah, and I'll get Kasumi for Sister Lisi," Su Mu decided.

"OK."

The real support is hidden at the very end. If Feng Lanye picks two heroes that are difficult to deal with next, then you can switch to something else and be flexible.

Of course, we must not forget the most basic point—

The healer is essentially a support. Although she is uncomfortable in lane against the tower combo, it doesn't mean she can't fight back. If necessary, she can go bot lane with Xayah.

The wind swept through the leaves and saw the rock sparrow and the sunset locked up, which didn't surprise them much.

After careful consideration, they chose to jungle with Lee Sin to speed up the early game, showing no intention of taking a step-by-step approach to victory.

Taliyah has high early-game damage, and Blind Man's Chess, Mio, and Nine-Fingered Swords are not bad either.

On the commentary panel.

"I didn't expect that even with so many bans targeting top and mid laners in the first round, neither side could lock in any heroes for those positions. This is quite rare."

"Both sides want to hold back, so it's unclear whether they'll add more bans."

"Added, added! Vampire and Kayle have both been banned. Wow, Step by Step to Victory has banned five top laners. Xiaoyu's treatment within the team is impeccable."

"Twisted Fate and Veigar are also banned. Xiao Mu has used these two heroes before with good results, and they can also be used with Kleptomancy. Could it be that C3 is planning to pick a melee mid laner?"

Before the answer was revealed, Feng Lanye had already confirmed the top laner.

When Zhang Xiaoyu saw that the hero she was going to play was Gnar, she couldn't help but scratch the back of her head.

Gnar is also quite annoying, mainly because he's a mid-to-long range champion similar to Jayce, and can also take the Kleptomancy rune.

"Has Xiaoyu decided what to do for fun?"

"To be honest...no..." V

Every time Zhang Xiaoyu heard Su Mu gently asking for her opinion, she felt guilty.

Every match is the same old story. Even if you don't get solo killed by a hero with Kleptomancy, it's easy to feed a carry who causes a lot of trouble for the team. (Phosphorus)

Ultimately, it was her limited champion pool that dragged down the team's skill ceiling, and perhaps even her own performance.

"Is the pressure too much?"

"...I..."I

"Then I'll recommend a very simple hero to you," Su Mu said with a smile, "Viktor."

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoyu was instantly stunned.

Isn't that a mid-lane mage carry?

"There's no time. Let Sister Lisi choose for her. I trust I won't have any major problems." (Yo)

Despite her doubts, Zhao Lisi obediently locked the hero.

Su Mu, who is qualified to break into the top ten in the international server, certainly wouldn't act recklessly. Giving Zhang Xiaoyu the Victor must have its reasons.

Seeing that the hero had actually locked up, Zhang Xiaoyu swallowed nervously, and could only wait for Su Mu's guidance...

Su Mu wasn't in a hurry. After speculating on the possible mid-lane picks for Feng Lan Ye, he had Zhou Xuemin select the last hero to finalize the lineup.

...

Seeing that Step by Step was giving Maokai to the top laner, Feng Lanye and the others breathed a sigh of relief, which was somewhat expected.

"As usual, choose between Ekko and Diana. Picking Ekko ensures a strong late-game presence, while Diana is more aggressive in team fights."

"Bright moon."

With both teams' lineups finalized, the commentators offered their insights, concluding that Feng Lan Ye's lineup was very aggressive, lacking any late-game carry potential unless they built a significant advantage to offset the lineup's growth disadvantage.

After all, Viktor's late-game damage is unreasonable.

However, someone soon discovered the key point—

How come, besides the jungler and ADC, the other three heroes in the "Step by Step to Victory" strategy seem a bit off?

When they entered the game connection screen and confirmed that their suspicions were correct, everyone was stunned.

Seriously? You guys play like this?

The actual lineup is as follows:

Blue team's "Step by Step to Victory" lineup: Top lane Viktor, Jungle Taliyah, Mid lane Soraka, Bot lane Xayah, Support Maokai.

Red team's lineup: Top lane Gnar, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Diana, Bot lane Kalista, Support Taric.

103. There's a sturgeon! A large European sturgeon!

The viewers in the live broadcast room and the audience at the scene were greatly impressed and did not hesitate to express their amazement.

[An absolutely amazing life!]

[The fun is finally here! The familiar Xiao Mu has finally pulled out her support mid-lane champion!]

【Bao Cai, Guangzhou University has found a ghost! It's one thing to have Alistar and Pyke mid, but even Soraka is coming. No matter how the game turns out, this courage is truly audacious.】

[Tsk, guessing that if the number of deaths is less than three in five minutes, it would be considered a success.]

[The top laner is amazing too. Didn't they say that the top laner in Step by Step was just a passive player? This time he actually picked Viktor as the carry, which is weird.]

While the audience and commentators were speculating and expressing their opinions, the five people involved in Feng Lan Ye's case were also full of questions.

"Holy crap, mid-lane support?!" C3 almost popped his eyes out of their sockets.

"Viktor top lane? What the heck?" Z1 also looked incredulous.

There are many precedents for playing support Maokai, and some people play it in ranked games, but I've never seen mid lane Soraka or top lane Viktor.

Originally, they all thought the support would be the healer, the top laner would be Maokai, and the mid laner would be Viktor.

Who would have thought that their carefully laid plans would completely outmaneuver them?

Seeing the exact same rune system next to Viktor's ID as his own, Z1's eye twitched involuntarily.

Is this a sign that everything can be stolen?

Using a long-range champion against another long-range champion isn't impossible, but at least pick a more moderate one. Use Viktor against Gnar, and once Gnar reaches level 6, Viktor, a champion without mobility, is just feeding, especially since the top lane is so long.

Z1 doesn't understand, and neither does C3.

He didn't expect that his casual guess during the draft phase would come true. His opponent actually picked a support hero without W to play mid lane. Was it a joke or a real strategy?

Damn, thank goodness my teammates didn't mention eating upside down through my nostrils...

Frankly speaking, he absolutely doesn't have the courage or the creativity to pull off fancy tricks in such an important competition.

"I heard that Xiao Mu is one of the campus beauties at Guangzhou University. She is beautiful, that's for sure, but she doesn't play by the rules at all. Is her sexual orientation even unconventional? Does she like women?"

"Is this the right time to talk about this? Let's escalate things! The other side looks down on us so much! Who cares if Xiao Mu is pretty or not, or what her orientation is!" Z1 rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed.

Xiaoyu's skill level was already low, and she still chose a short-legged mage to go top lane. He was a weak early-game carry who turned into a late-game powerhouse. She would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't crush the opponent.

C3 also put aside his random thoughts, stared at the money-stealing rune icon next to the healer's ID, and twitched his lips.

Damn, how much money is going to be stolen... I should have known better than to pick Diana.

Wait, that's not right. Xiao Mu chose a healer! A healer!

Why worry about her stealing your gold when she's a squishy hero with no mobility, no hard crowd control, and incredibly slow movement speed?

Why not just call for the jungler to gank and crush them?

"X2, you'll probably be staying in the mid lane this game, right?"

"Of course! Tell me the difference between picking a support mid laner and picking Kassadin. Just gank!" X2 rolled his eyes.

……

The competition has officially begun.

The novel lineups of mid-lane support and top-lane Viktor have generated immense buzz and spread rapidly across countless online communities, further boosting the already highly anticipated college league.

The popularity of the live streams on various platforms skyrocketed, a speed that left the head of the official LOL tournament team speechless.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the camera, looking at the short-haired mid-laner, at his delicate yet strikingly handsome face.

Talent!

If we can win this match, we might consider recommending it to a team we have a good relationship with.

Mechanics, awareness, and hero pool aren't major issues; these can be improved later in the game.

How flexible a person's thinking is and how sharp their mind is are fundamentally what determines the ceiling of a professional player.

Talented individuals like these, who can explore many new ways of playing, even if they don't end up as professional players, can still be good members of the coaching staff. At the very least, they can be developed into excellent analysts or even coaches.

But there's a crucial premise mentioned above—

She needs to win this game, just like she did with her previous mid-lane Alistar, Pyke, and even Nunu.

If they lose, even if they defeat Feng Lanye in the third game with their normal lineup and advance to the semifinals, it will make them seem less promising.

The novel playstyle of playing mid-lane support has even drawn attention from professional teams that don't need to scout future players from university leagues. From the coaching staff to the players, many couldn't resist sneaking into the live stream.

As expected, the mid-lane healer, which was incredibly novel to them, inflicted intense torment on the opponents in less than two minutes at the start of the game.

"Q me, A you, A, A, E (silent response) then Q..."

Su Mu muttered to himself, his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, looking approachable, sunny, and cheerful.

That's how it appears on the surface, but that's not the case for the audience and the victims.

In the commentary booth, Shengxi saw the healer steal another money bag from Jiaoyue, and after opening it and getting another hundred yuan, her blood pressure started to rise from Jiaoyue's perspective.

This is my fourth wallet... and that doesn't even include all the consumables.

Red and blue eye drops, you name it, they have it…

All four money bags were opened, and the economic values ​​were 70, 100, 90, 100...

In short: Terrifying!

“This luck… I can’t say…” Lanling didn’t know what to say.

The audience, however, were not so tactful.

Even Captain Twisted Fate would be moved to tears. In less than two minutes of laning, he stole at least 600 gold worth of items just by stealing gold.

Leave it on, it's interesting.

[Is it open just because it's open? We haven't even packed our bags yet, what's the rush?]

[...

……

"Damn, I can't stand the spiciness!"

The wet nurse pulled another money pouch from C3's body, and C3 felt that his mentality was about to break down.

There are sturgeon!

Great European Sturgeon!

Even if the person opposite him is a girl, he will still shout out Zhou Muren's profound saying from his decaying coffin lid—

What kind of bad luck is that?

Killing someone doesn't bring in money as quickly as this, and being robbed isn't the only problem. C3 discovered that he had unknowingly used up all his health potions, yet his health was still less than half.

On the other hand, the opposing healer was almost at full health, with five health potions, three mana potions, and two wards in her inventory…
