Chapter 208: G2, out of moves?

~6 min read 1,115 words

LPL livestream room.

"Wow!"

"Oh my god, male gun?!"

"What's going on? Male gun has come out! Has this hero been buffed recently?"

"Uh......"

Miller was thinking when Guan Zeyuan beside him quickly took over the conversation:

"Yes, male gun really has been buffed, but it's not an obvious buff; rather, it was done in the form of fixing a bug—a change that's unclear whether it counts as a buff——

"Just in the 6.16 patch, male gun's Black Cleaver bug was fixed.

"Because male gun's basic attack fires many bullets, so now if male gun is close enough to the target, one basic attack can normally stack multiple layers of Black Cleaver passive."

As expected of the Memory Master Guan Zeyuan, patch change details come easily to him.

"I remember now."

Miller only then had some impression,

"Recently in ranked, a new male gun build path has indeed appeared; previously they always built Veil Blade, but now someone has started building Black Cleaver."

"But male gun isn't strong this patch, right?"

"Can only say it's average; Changzhang also played one game in the group stage, and then......"

"Um, in the Ba Xi Holy Monk match, the result was EDG lost the game."

"Yes, although Changzhang's build was still the old routine, overall, male gun really has nothing to say at Worlds; to date its win rate is still under 50%, and aside from Changzhang's game, the rest are being played in non-mainstream regions."

"【Non-mainstream? LPL is so awesome!】"

"In the livestream, similar comments flew by quickly; I don't know if they're from EDG fans who started getting a bit 'heartbroken crazy' after EDG was eliminated."

"RNG fans can't tolerate even a speck of sand; someone immediately retorted:"

"【It's originally a non-mainstream region, what's there to argue about?】"

"【If it weren't a non-mainstream region, why couldn't they even make quarterfinals?】"

"【EDG fans, don't mix things up; frankly, your EDG is on par with the wild card; making quarterfinals is probably just luck from burning incense to the dead sister】"

"Immediately after, RNG locked in their last two picks."

"Jinx plus Vampire!"

"Nice, RNG's composition can't be poked! Can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, has poke, has disengage, can engage, has Vampire, and even late game isn't weak!"

"Let's see what G2 hid until the end; I think it's likely Bo Bi; now online, the only ones that can play against Jayce are Bo Bi and Kennen, but G2's first four picks already lock them out of Kennen, because picking Kennen would leave them with no frontline and poor engage, so this pick can only be Bo......?"

"???"

"What?!!!"

"Miller hadn't finished speaking when he cut off, the whole person stood dumbfounded."

"The two beside him also instantly turned into statues, staring blankly at the big screen."

"At the same time, the audience erupted in a huge clamor."

"The on-site North American commentator swore in surprise:"

"Holys……!!!"

"Whatthehell?!"

"Locked! Oh my God, G2!"

"Behind the RNG player bench, Fly stood stunned, his brain almost crashed, taking a while to regain his thinking ability."

"Pantheon?!"

"Pantheon!!!"

"On the LPL commentator desk, Wawa yelled excitedly,"

"Pantheon again!! Do you all remember?! In the opening match of this year's Worlds group stage, G2 vs CLG, their top laner was playing Pantheon!"

"I remember! It's him! It's him! However, that game's jungler was Spider!"

"The atmosphere in the livestream was extremely heated, but the comments were laughing."

"【Haha, I remember, that match was a chicken fight】"

"【As expected of G2, they pulled off a big move right away hahaha】"

"【They hid it this long and that's it?】"

"【Big move? I think it's average; G2 really has no moves left, they're rehashing old stuff】"

"【This game is locked, we'll take it 1-0!】"

"Both sides' lineups are fully locked."

"RNG, Blue Side"

"ban: Leopard Lady, Syndra, Rumble"

"Top: Looper, Jayce"

"Jungle: Mlxg, Mang Seng"

"Mid: Xiaohu, Vampire"

"ADC: Uzi, Jinx"

Inside the G2 team voice channel.

«The only task for the bottom lane is: don't feed, don't feed, don't feed! »

«Don't give Wuzi a head! »

«Let him take towers if he wants, ignore him, just focus on farming your own minions! »

«Pay attention to signals, listen to Commander Liang, don't play around on your own! »

«Communicate, communicate, communicate! »

«Valid information! Don't shout nonsense! »

Under the referee's urging, Ka Lao Si quickly announced loudly.

Afterwards, Ka Lao Si took off his headset and heard the noisy crowd and the teasing commentary voice, immediately curling the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.

Don't rush, first come some appetizers, widen your eyes and watch closely!

On the other side, Fly hadn't had time to say anything before the referee chased him off the stage; he came to the center of the stage, shook hands with Ka Lao Si, and then together they turned and walked backstage.

Fly really couldn't hold back; after entering the backstage passage, he quickly caught up to Ka Lao Si, who was striding toward the G2 lounge, and shouted:

«That... Coach Ka Luo Si! »

Ka Lao Si's steps stopped in front of the lounge door, he turned his head to look at Fly.

The few staff members standing at both ends of the passage immediately became wary, staring intently at the two.

Offline matches have their own rules for offline matches.

Although the fists have no explicit rule, it is absolutely prohibited for the two teams' coaches to discuss game details right after finishing BP and stepping down.

Fly certainly knew, but couldn't help:

«Why is it Pantheon? »

The staff's gazes turned sharper; someone had already begun communicating with the backstage leadership via microphone, while the others stared at Ka Lao Si as if facing a great enemy.

Ka Lao Si didn't answer, raised an eyebrow at a certain female staff member who was watching him, then smiled at Fly and turned to walk into the lounge.

He watched Fly through the door crack and slowly closed the door.

Fly saw Ka Lao Si's meaningful smile through the door crack, his heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he had an extremely bad feeling.

One could even say it was a bit frightening.

Fly took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and likewise stepped into the RNG lounge.

Manager Sanshao greeted him with a beaming face and loudly praised:

«You picked well! I feel this game is stable, right, coach? »

Fly returned a guilty smile.

Stable?

Where is it stable?

Fly only felt his heart panicking badly!
