Chapter 29: World's Number One Jungler

~7 min read 1,399 words

Don't believe you, go check the surveillance……

Liang Yan originally wanted to say that, but after thinking, they endured.

Ka Lao Si certainly wouldn't really go check the surveillance; actually it's not that they don't believe Liang Yan, just too shocked, momentarily unable to believe.

Such an astonishing ranking speed shows that Liang Yan's limit is far more than this.

At this moment, Ka Lao Si suddenly recalled that match that ended prematurely midway.

That was the match on the day Liang Yan just joined the team, played in the first-floor training match, which led to him kicking someone in that ranked game.

Afterwards, Ka Lao Si asked the second team members carefully, why the two had a conflict, and why Trick scolded people; the explanation was that Liang Yan crushed Trick in lane, then Trick blamed the top laner for not supporting, launched a map-wide attack insulting Chinese players……

At that time, Ka Lao Si didn't pay attention.

In ranked games, it's normal for you to crush me and I to crush you; maybe Trick was researching something new. Besides, it was just the opening; what could you see?

Now thinking about it, Trick being crushed might truly be possible that his strength was crushed……

But is that possible?

Ka Lao Si couldn't help doubting themselves.

Picking up a Perkz was already a special favor from the god of fate; not long after, casually picking up a newcomer, could it again be a once-in-a-generation genius?

I actually have such good luck?!

Trick is the MVP of the EU Spring Season, meaning among all players in this region, the one with the best performance in the entire spring season.

Now Ka Lao Si, due to a momentary impulse, kicked him out; although not to the point of regretting till their intestines turn green, but whenever they think of it, they can't help feeling sorrowful.

But then they suddenly discovered that the substitute newcomer they picked up might actually have potential surpassing Trick!

How could Ka Lao Si not be shocked!

"Mm-hmm... you practice first……"

Ka Lao Si returned to their workstation, opened the folder named "Training Match Recordings" on the desktop, then also opened the "May" folder.

Over the past few days, although Liang Yan participated in few training matches, there were still two or three. Ka Lao Si carefully recalled, picked out those training match files, preparing to open the recordings and study them carefully.

Then, at that moment, Ka Lao Si suddenly thought of something and turned to the side, saying:

"Anna."

Tang Anna, who was organizing the data of all teams in the EU Spring Season, upon hearing this turned her head to glance at Ka Lao Si, then turned back to continue her work.

"What's up?"

"I want you to... uh, there's a player, I want you to help analyze them."

Ka Lao Si originally intended to directly say they wanted Tang Anna to analyze their substitute jungler from a purely technical perspective, but changed it at the last moment.

Because Ka Lao Si thought that Liang Yan is Chinese and Tang Anna also has Chinese heritage, to avoid any possible bias (although this possibility is tiny), Ka Lao Si decided for now not to tell Tang Anna exactly who the research subject is.

"Okay, this is my job."

Tang Anna immediately stopped what she was doing, turned over and looked seriously at Ka Lao Si.

That's right, this is indeed Tang Anna's main job, and she's good at it.

Ka Lao Si first dragged a few training match recordings into a certain shared folder, then stood up and walked out.

"Come with me."

Tang Anna stood up with her notebook and a pen.

Ka Lao Si was mysterious, and Tang Anna couldn't help feeling a bit anticipatory.

……

The two left the training room and came to the meeting room.

The room isn't as big as the training room; usually it's used for office staff to hold meetings, or to host some small internal activities.

After Ka Lao Si entered, they let Tang Anna casually find a seat, then they went to the front and turned on the projector.

The meeting room's computer is connected to the base's local network; Ka Lao Si found those few recordings in the shared folder and opened the earliest one.

The projector cast the recording's image onto the screen at the front of the meeting room.

"Look carefully, analyze, and tell me the evaluation result."

Ka Lao Si sat down beside Tang Anna, tapping their index finger on the table next to Tang Anna's open notebook.

Tang Anna held the pen:

"You haven't told me which player is the research subject."

"Jungler, in this match we are the blue side."

Ka Lao Si pointed at the screen.

He hid the player ID, so from the game screen only the hero names could be seen.

Tang Anna said OK, began to seriously watch the recording.

As the battle officially began, she started constantly writing and drawing in her notebook, continuously comparing with some standard data she had in mind.

For example, the standard jungle clearing process and time, common jungle routes for various jungler types, gank rhythm…… and so on.

Sometimes she also had Ka Lao Si replay and slow down, to observe carefully, then record the results. Soon, Tang Anna filled a sheet of paper, turned over a page and continued writing.

Ka Lao Si occasionally looked at what she wrote, but Tang Anna had her own designed evaluation analysis system, which included a complete set of expression habits suited to her; the paper was full of symbols that Ka Lao Si couldn't understand at all, so looking at Tang Anna's writing was like reading heavenly script to them.

Of course, there were also things he could understand.

After finishing watching the first recording, Tang Anna wrote five pages of paper.

Ka Lao Si saw the summary paragraph Tang Anna wrote on the last page:

Style: Carnivorous

Operational ability: 4.7

Invasion: Strong invasion desire

Defense: Vision-based defense primarily, in action using offense as defense.

Gank: Gank desire extremely strong.

CounterGank: CounterGank awareness relatively strong.

Development awareness: strong.

Support awareness: strong.

Core awareness: extremely strong.

Teamfight awareness: comprehensive, flexible.

Communication: cannot judge without voice chat, has habit of signal communication.

Command: cannot judge without voice chat, has habit of signal command.

Hero pool:

1, Li Qing. Proficiency extremely high.

This recording is exactly the first practice match Liang Yan played on the day he joined the team.

"What does this summary evaluation mean……is it very good?"

Ka Lao Si points at Tang Anna's notebook.

"Having only watched one recording, we can't draw a conclusion yet; watch a few more."

Tang Anna spoke calmly, a bright light flickering in the depths of her eyes, faintly excited.

Ka Lao Si then opened another recording.

Tang Anna watched quietly, occasionally revising the evaluation items above.

After watching the second match, she added a line at the end of the summary section:

2, Lei Ke Sai. Proficiency extremely high.

Then watched the third match.

3, Zhi Zhu. Proficiency extremely high.

Fourth match:

4, Qian Jue. Proficiency extremely high.

Fifth match:

5, Bao Nv. Proficiency extremely high.

After finishing, Tang Anna lifted her head, her eyes seeming to burn with a small flame.

"Watch one more!"

"……None left."

Ka Lao Si hesitated and said.

Tang Anna froze:

"None left?"

"None left."

Ka Lao Si felt a bit embarrassed,

"He only played these few matches... I mean, I only have these few recordings......"

Tang Anna stared straight at Ka Lao Si, after a few seconds let out an 'oh', lowered her head to look at her notebook, her eyes blazing hot.

Even if Ka Lao Si couldn't understand what Tang Anna wrote, he could infer some judgment from her mental state's change, and he secretly had an answer.

But he still wanted a more definite answer.

So he asked:

"How, how to say, what is your evaluation?"

Tang Anna didn't answer immediately, but instead carefully reviewed the notes and evaluations she had written earlier.

After a few minutes, Tang Anna closed her notebook, put the pen aside, turned over, placed her hands flat on her knees, and looked at Ka Lao Si with an extremely serious expression:

"If we only look at the performance in these five recordings, then my evaluation is……"

"World's No. 1 Jungler."
