Chapter 47: Who are you looking down on?

"Log in! Log in!"

Ka Lao Si came in shouting loudly, even taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves, ready to jump in and fight himself.

Too bad he can't.

Ka Lao Si's current skill level can at most reach a European server master; even in promotion matches he'd have to ask AP to play for him.

"Number 2 match uniform, hurry up!"

"Those who have already logged in, go straight into the room; I've sent the room name and password to Skype—don't speak after entering!"

"I'll emphasize again!"

"Don't speak after entering the room!"

"Assassin!"

"We're professionals!"

"Be more ruthless!"

"Let's make them lose horribly, okay?!"

Liang Yan stared, dumbfounded—was Ka Lao Si really that chuuni? Yet he joined the crowd in loudly echoing them, boosting morale greatly.

Ka Lao Si was very pleased; his formerly fierce face finally showed a hint of a smile, he put his hands on his hips and spun twice behind the crowd, finally stopping behind CyanideFI:

"Lao Li, you really aren't going up?"

Ka Lao Si's accent had already been twisted by Liang Yan.

Actually, not just Ka Lao Si—before, everyone called CyanideFI with a clear, standard 'Lao Li', but now more than half of the base have started calling him 'Lao Li'.

"I'm not joining in the fun."

Lao Li glanced over at Liang Yan and said with a smile:

"Liang Yan's been blowing up online lately; TSM is obviously upset that the cosmic battleship's limelight was stolen, so they deliberately came to us to show strength."

"Hehe~"

Ka Lao Si let out two cold chuckles,

"They rushed up just to be our stepping stone—how great."

Lao Li thought, hopefully.

Objectively speaking, TSM's lineup this season is indeed a bit intimidating.

If everyone goes into today's practice match with a contemptuous attitude toward the opponent, Lao Li thinks the chance of a crash is indeed not low.

"Ka Luo Si, the other side is asking if we're ready to start!"

AP shouted over here.

Ka Lao Si then asked:

"Has everyone entered the room?"

AP replied that everyone was ready.

Ka Lao Si patted Lao Li on the shoulder, gesturing for him to enter the room to watch, then went to AP's side and stood between AP and Liang Yan.

"Let's begin!"

AP typed 'go' in the room channel.

The opposing side, however, did not start right away.

TSM. Hauntzer: 【SideSwap (Switch Sides)】

AP froze for a moment, then turned to look at Ka Lao Si:

"What does the other side mean?"

Ka Lao Si chuckled twice:

"Just give us the blue side, whatever, switch!"

AP then typed in the room channel; he had originally typed 'OK', but remembering Ka Lao Si's demand for ruthlessness, he deleted it and typed a '1' instead, also getting into the chuuni spirit.

The opposing side actually understood AP's strange remark; the room host began executing the side swap, swapping the positions of the five players on each side, resulting in G2 on the left and TSM on the right.

Then the ban-pick phase began.

The blue side bans first, then picks.

Since it's impossible to have any interaction with TSM on the official stage in the short term, Ka Lao Si had no research on the current patch TSM's champion tendencies; he simply relied on the impression that their core is a mid laner and kept banning mid champions.

Bilsen's playstyle is completely unlike AP's; the former belongs to the type that is stable in lane and stable in team fights, with a balanced champion pool, whereas AP's champion pool mostly leans toward flashy picks.

Their champion pools hardly overlap, and the current patch's strong mid laners are mostly traditional mage cores, so Ka Lao Si didn't have to worry about banning AP's champions; the ban-pick went smoothly.

However, after Ka Lao Si banned two mid laners in a row, AP became somewhat displeased, feeling that Ka Lao Si distrusted his laning ability, and protested:

"Ka Luo Si, also ban something from another lane, huh? You keep banning mid laners—do you think I'm weaker than him?!"

Ka Lao Si was rather speechless, but he also understood AP.

This kid has a temper like that—his self-esteem is through the roof, like a three-year-old.

"Fine, fine, fine—I won't ban mid laners anymore, I'll ban something else."

Ka Lao Si soothed AP's emotions.

Seeing the opposing side lock in their second ban, Ka Lao Si thought for a moment, then suddenly felt inspired and decided to hand the team's final ban slot to Liang Yan to decide.

"Liang, what do you want to ban for the last slot?"

Liang Yan thought Ka Lao Si was asking again whether he wanted to ban the jungler, and without thinking:

"No need, you ban top lane or AD carry."

"What I mean is, who do you think should get this last ban slot? It doesn't have to be the jungler; you could ban something else—I just wanted to ask your opinion."

Liang Yan then realized.

Oh wow?

Starting to ask for opinions on your own BP?

Good start!

Thinking of this, Liang Yan glanced at the already locked ban frames on both sides—just now he was listening to music intently and hadn't noticed what heroes were banned on either side; anyway, he had already decided that the hero he wanted to use in this game couldn't be banned, so it didn't matter what each side banned.

Blue side G2 has banned hero: Viktor, the Vampire.

Red side TSM has banned hero: Ryze, the Tree.

Liang Yan understood at a glance.

As the red side, TSM deliberately did not ban the leopard girl nor Lu Xi An……

Looking down on people, huh.

Liang Yan spoke:

"Anyway it's a practice match, why don't the brothers create a pressure game? Let them have all the strong ones, we... ban a spider?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention over.

The enemy's BP is already outrageous, and you can actually be even more outrageous?!

Banning the hero you just performed godlike with on the battlefield—what the hell is this?!

"How about changing it?"

Old Li, who was watching the match, couldn't help but advise—he really didn't want to see his own team crash right at the start; you play the spider well, why ban it?

Tang Anna, who was also in the spectator seat, was surprised, her eyes slightly widened as she looked over here.

In the evening, the TSM coach called her phone, saying they wanted to schedule a few practice matches with G2, and she readily agreed. At the time, it was actually just the idea of letting Liang Yan play against a strong team.

The Europe Region and North America Region are archrivals; with this factor, both teams will treat it as a formal match, and no matter which side loses, it greatly affects the whole team's morale.

Liang Yan actually said he wanted to ban his own spider……

This looks a bit childish.

As the team's analyst, also called an assistant coach, Tang Anna actually has the authority to participate in BP.

Just as he was about to say a couple of sentences, Ka Lao Si suddenly burst out laughing twice:

"Good! Very imposing!"

"Just ban this!"

With a clang, the Spider Queen Elise was sent to the blue side's third ban slot.
