She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

The explosion dealt damage, reducing the turret's health to less than one-tenth.

Everyone at Xingmang was extremely anxious.

Birth (3) O Lin Qi Jiu Wu Ba - Kun, stop cutting down the tower, okay?! Qun

"One slash, two slashes, three slashes, my ultimate move..."

Su Mu only had eyes for the turret. When he saw the barrel coming, he didn't move to dodge the skills. He continued to swing his sword with all his might and finally destroyed the turret in the last second of his ultimate.

"My mission is complete. Now it's up to you guys... Huh?"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Mu found herself being blasted out of the crowd by Gragas' ultimate ability, the timing perfectly coinciding with the moment she finished destroying the tower.

What's even more amazing is that, because the barrel was so big, the Stone Golem ended up right in the middle of the ruins of the Teeth Tower...

"Thank you!"

"I can't look back anymore, another glance will cause an explosion." Su Muliang gave a thumbs-up emoji and then used his E skill to escape, not giving the opponent a chance to chase him.

Tianxuan is a girl, and seeing her use of the wine barrel, Su Mu could only silently think, "Good sister..."

The incredibly absurd scene made the audience burst into laughter, especially when they discovered that the Barbarian King, who had been relentlessly pushing the tower, had been eliminated. Even the viewers in the live stream could hear the uproar.

The tense atmosphere suddenly took on a touch of joy.

[I've said it countless times, picking Murphy for a game means you can't connect to a globally shared network.]

[They didn't have a link either, they only missed their ultimate because of their teammates, okay?]

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt in the middle of the night, it was hilarious!

[Hey bro, isn't it afternoon now?]

[I'm currently abroad, but staying up late to watch the game is making me more and more energetic. I'm already looking forward to what good things will happen next.]

The director seemed a bit cheeky, deliberately switching the camera angles twice: once showing all five Star Contestants together, and again showing all five Step by Step Contestants together.

The first five people seemed to have experienced all walks of life, their expressions were extremely rich, each one different, but none of them seemed to be happy.

The last five were different; they were all laughing so hard they were shaking.

In the commentary booth, Luan Ming and Jian Yun secretly thought it was fortunate that the camera wouldn't focus on the commentators, otherwise their comical attempts to suppress laughter might have been turned into memes...

"Once the front tooth tower falls, the nature of the game changes."

"There are no more miracles. Step by step, we don't need to do anything. Five people gather in the middle lane to apply pressure, and we can take the first game by waiting for the cannon minion to destroy itself. The super minions on both sides are enough to make Starburst's head throb."

Su Mu indeed chose the safest approach, and with super minions on all three lanes surrounding him, he delivered a memorable split-push tower-stealing game for Xingmang.

No one could have imagined that the entire first game of the college league finals would be so dramatic.

The expressions on the faces of the Stars contestants when they returned backstage were priceless.

"So this is the correct way for the Barbarian King to fight the stone golem. Your subject understands completely now."

"You don't understand anything! Don't go, we need the ideas and the awareness!"

[Xiao Mu is really good at using tricks, how many times has this happened? So is there a next round? It doesn't matter if I lose, watching Step by Step to Win is really too exciting (three) phosphorus dove phosphorus seven pick five dam happy bird.]

133. Reduce CPU usage appropriately.

The audience was full of anticipation.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

They won the second game step by step, but lost quite quickly.

The reason is that both the top and bottom lanes were completely overwhelmed, and in the early game, even seeing a minion was a luxury.

The players from Xingmang were quite adaptable and were not affected by the first game. In the second game, they set a trap that even Su Mu did not expect.

Top lane Lucian vs. Viktor, bottom lane Cassiopeia and Singed duo vs. Miss Fortune and Nautilus, the double ground-binding combo completely crushed Zhao Lisi's two.

They had never faced such a combination in lane. If they didn't flash and were thrown back by Singed's shoulder throw, they would have no chance to maneuver under the massive slow from Cassiopeia's W and Singed's W.

With Flash having a long cooldown and Alchemist having Hexflash, it's not difficult to engage a short-legged character without any mobility.

With his teammates on both the top and bottom lanes dying a combined 13 times in ten minutes, Su Mu knew then that they were finished.

If they can't delay until Senna comes out of retirement, Starburst will definitely start putting pressure on her.

After participating in the National College League for so long, Su Mu finally started to suffer defeats. This defeat also made Su Mu realize that her version of the game's advantages could not last forever and would eventually be studied.

It's unrealistic to expect a novel approach that's been used before to achieve the same effect again.

Mid-lane Senna and Soraka are not easy to pick. One is only strong in the late game and the other relies on teammates. To be objective, her teammates do not support her playing like this. Bai Wei alone is not enough.

Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhao Lisi, and Zhou Xuemin were ultimately a step behind the contestants from Xingmang.

After identifying the root cause of the loss, Su Mu quickly adjusted his mindset, comforted his teammates, and discussed tactics and draft picks for the next game.

The final mid-lane Tristana system, along with two other systems that Su Mu will carry, have been prioritized to the highest level.

After banning Alchemist, they countered Starburst in the second game, gaining a significant advantage in the draft phase. Their lineup strength was only inferior to their opponents in the late game.

It's okay, as long as we don't make it to the late game.

So, in the third game, Xingmang's mid and jungle were completely outmatched, and it was the kind of situation where they couldn't close the gap even with a lead in both top and bottom lanes. They were helpless against Su Mu's Tristana who could jump in, use E, auto-attack three times, and then use R to kill people.

Not to mention, there's also Rek'Sai, a jungler even harder to defend against than a piece of chewing gum.

When a champion like Rek'Sai gains an advantage, she not only has ganking ability comparable to Kayn's ability to cross walls, but also has more reliable crowd control and burst damage than Kayn, unless Kayn evolves into Blue Kayn and gains a huge economic lead.

Starburst had a tough time playing, and Step by Step to Victory's bot lane duo was incredibly bizarre, with the Ziggs and Xerath combination being downright inhuman.

There's no laning phase, just farming minions.

With Ziggs teleporting and flashing, you only see bombs and not him, rarely revealing any openings for ganking. Xerath, relying on his long range, basically has no chance to engage him.

An overly defensive playstyle will inevitably result in a significant loss of gold and experience because it prevents the minion wave from being pushed completely into the tower.

But so what? The game of relying on one's father's connections is like the story of Tian Ji's horse race, where it's about which side's inferior horses die more slowly and in fewer numbers.

If you can survive and slowly develop your character, that's considered a success. If the enemy's mid and jungle are heavily suppressed, as long as you don't get killed in lane, the lost gold is nothing.

Zhang Xiaoyu suffered the most because the team composition required her to initiate team fights and act as a front-line tank, so she had to choose Sejuani to withstand the pressure.

Because the captain was released, the other side had a premonition of theft and stole from him, resulting in him being shot countless times.

If Bai Wei hadn't ganked her to relieve the pressure, she probably wouldn't have even dared to take a hit under the tower.

Back in the top lane, Tian Shu's skill with Captain was far superior to those mediocre players. His combo of barrel and double fire blade was very skillful, and Su Mu could tell at a glance that he was a veteran.

Fortunately, they didn't let the captain develop to an unmanageable level before ending the game, and took the lead in reaching match point.

BO5 is a great test of a player's endurance. The longer the game goes on and the more evenly matched the players are, the easier it is to feel tired, both physically and mentally.

The reason why professional athletes are said to be in their prime under 22 years old is because after that age, all their physical and athletic performance indicators begin to decline, and this is irreversible.

All the athletes can do is train harder to maintain their form; it's unlikely they can go any further.

One of the indicators is endurance, including the ability to withstand pressure. Otherwise, why would there be such a special saying as "enduring the old man's hardship"?

The term "outlasting an old man" generally refers to an opponent who is older, such as someone who is 25 or 26 years old or older.

These older players may maintain good form and be very aggressive in the first one or two games. However, things don't last long. If they fail to win the third game, their form will deteriorate in the following two games, and their physical condition will not be able to support them in completing such a high-intensity game.

According to information obtained by chance, of the five contestants in Starry Sky, three are seniors and two are juniors.

Of the five members of Step by Step to Victory, only Zhao Lisi and Zhang Xiaoyu are juniors, while Su Mu, Bai Wei, and Zhou Xuemin are juniors or below, giving them a slight advantage in age.

Not much, but enough.

Since none of his teammates were professional players, Su Mu didn't have a better way to cheer them up, so he could only half-jokingly say the above to encourage them.

It has a slightly quirky and nonsensical feel, but the effect is actually quite good.

Seeing the relieved look on the bottom lane duo and Zhang Xiaoyu's faces, Su Mu knew he could breathe a sigh of relief too.

In competitions, performance on the day is crucial. For players who lack initiative or confidence, it might actually be better to give them some mental preparation.

I vaguely remember hearing in my past life that there were two coaches in the professional League of Legends scene who were very good at playing CPU players, one surnamed Zhu and the other from South Korea surnamed Yoon.

Saying things like, "The opposing team isn't actually as good as you guys, as long as you dare to make plays and have confidence," or "The opposing mid laner is really bad, you can just use your marksman," etc...

"Alright, we'll be back on stage in two minutes. If you need to use the restroom, hurry up," Su Mu said, standing up with a smile.

After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the athletes' restroom.

Bai Wei hesitated for a moment, then got up and followed. Zhao Lisi and the other two had been there when they came back after finishing the third game, so they didn't move.

Mio Yiqi Private Martial Arts Kick is Nine...

While washing her hands, Su Mu noticed that Bai Wei suddenly hugged her from behind, resting her chin on Su Mu's shoulder without saying a word.

"what's wrong?"

"A hug, to replenish...energy?"

"You didn't see some fan art from a certain second-generation game and copied this trick, did you?" Su Mu couldn't help but tease, pulling out absorbent paper to wipe his hands.

"No... Anyway, holding Mumu makes me feel very safe, and I'm not afraid of even the strongest opponent." Ling

Bai Wei's voice was low and soft, like a kitten's furry paw gently stroking your palm—very comforting.

"It has that effect?"

Su Mu chuckled, turned around, wrapped her arms around Weiwei's waist, and pressed her foreheads together, staring into her eyes. "Then Weiwei, you'll have to hug me more."

"must…"(

I not only want more hugs, but also more kisses...

But Bai Wei knew she could only dream about it. She'd secretly satisfy her desires at night while Mu Mu slept soundly, like a bad woman…

...Baba

"Welcome back to the National College League Finals. The current score is 2-1 between Step by Step and Starry Sky, with the former holding match point."

"Both sides have basically pulled out all the stops at this point. But speaking of which, Xiao Mu's mid-lane Tristana in the last game gave me a sense of familiarity; I'm not sure if it's just my imagination." (Group chat)

"It does look familiar; I think I've seen something similar in a video."

Upon hearing the commentator's words, a small number of viewers were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes widened even more.

A popular streamer also played Tristana mid, though only once…

And that streamer…

"Alright, the fourth game has officially entered the BP phase. As expected, we still can't let the Captain go. We're trying to win step by step without being reckless, but we don't have enough ban slots left for Gnar."

"StarCraft's first pick of Viktor is most likely a way to ban him in the mid lane, or they may have learned the 'Step by Step to Win' strategy and used Viktor in the top lane."

"If Viktor goes up, Xiaoyu will have a tough time, unless she can pick a non-tank or long-range top laner to counter him, otherwise she'll lose a lot of gold during the pressure period..."

"I haven't seen Xiaoyu release a new hero yet. She'll either continue with Morgana, but it's not really an advantage to use Morgana against Viktor."

"Alchemy... how about that? It sounds promising... Wow, a Soul Shepherd?"

"Locked!"

Next, the red team's Step by Step victory captured the enemy on the second floor.

Centaur?

The Stars contestants fell into deep thought.

Throughout the entire college league journey, Xiao Wei never used this hero. It's quite certain that she used it for the first time in the finals. Or perhaps Hecarim wasn't a jungler, but rather a top laner that was popular in ranked games for a very short time.

It's not impossible. Xiao Mu's playstyle is unpredictable, and it's hard to say for sure whether she will use the Shepherd of Souls in the mid lane.

After careful consideration, Xingmang decided to pick a tanky support Leona and then reveal Maokai as his jungler.

"A big tree?"

Hmm, the probability of playing top lane is very low. Picking a tank champion to play passively is just abandoning your personal skill advantage in the lane, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Su Mu rubbed his knuckles, pondering the purpose of the large tree.

Wherever they go, they'll inevitably be jungling.

The key is to consider which mid or top laner to pair with Viktor, as pairing him with either mid or top is generally mediocre.

After three matches, it's easy to see that Xingmang has a lot of ideas. Their ability to reach the finals is enough to crush the previous teams. We can't judge them with conventional thinking.

What if Viktor and Leona went bot lane?
