Chapter 65: A fulfilling night, a bountiful harvest! A revenge match! 【

Seeing the friend request, Li Xianghe clearly had some impression of the name.

After all, just last week, it was while watching his teammates match up against the opponent in ranked that he had been inspired to look up the Akshan matchup.

Moreover, in the match just now, the Pyke had been in an "invisible matchup" with his Akshan throughout the mid-game; almost as soon as he went invisible and moved somewhere, the opponent would follow.

It made his Akshan's gaming experience this round extremely poor, with a sense of inexplicable frustration he hadn't felt during previous practice sessions, so it was hard not to have an impression.

He clicked accept, and a message arrived in the chat box almost instantly.

y: 【faker! iamyoufan0.0】

f: 【goodgame, greatpyke】

The two engaged in a standard English conversation at a very high level within the professional League circle.

Seeing that the latter didn't reply further, Li Xianghe naturally closed the chat box and clicked into the next ranked queue.

However, at this moment, Ye Bo was scratching his head, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, stuck in an awkward position.

His English level was only enough for simple communication; to truly describe his operational thoughts using a long string of coherent sentences was clearly asking too much of him.

And if he used clumsy machine translation, the terminology would come out very strange, and the other party might not necessarily understand it.

Ye Bo suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, cursed himself for being stupid, and turned to run to the dormitory behind him to knock on the door.

He asked Viper if he could be his translator.

Viper already had a very good impression of this newcomer, both inside and outside the game, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse such a small matter at all; he walked out directly in his pajamas.

"Come on, what do you want to say?"

"It's just that I want to discuss with him whether there's a better way to handle that Akshan wave, because when Akshan releases a long E, he can't cancel it immediately, so there's an operational flaw. But if you don't rush that wave, you can actually continue walking to the wall and use a technique called 'Wall E' against the wall, it's roughly..."

This was something Ye Bo had researched himself during practice later on.

Just like his first meeting with Brother Shengqiang Ge.

He felt he was just discussing with someone he considered formidable, focusing on how to play the game better and do better, even if it was just a change in the smallest detail.

Ye Bo didn't care if the viewers in the chat would say he was "fond of lecturing others."

Professional players perhaps don't need so much "worldly wisdom."

Viper's language talent was very good; having only been here for a little over a year, he was already more fluent than many veteran Korean imports.

A long string of slightly awkward operational terms was slowly typed into the chat box after Viper understood them a little.

Li Xianghe had already entered a new queue and was talking to himself in the stream: "Akshan as a hero really isn't quite there. He's very strong in a winning position, but once you're behind in lane or behind overall, there's no opportunity to perform."

"But maybe it's also because of that Pyke from the last game. This hero, when played well, is really like a jungler in the support position..."

Keria next door heard this and immediately raised his eyebrows, speaking up unconvinced: "Brother Xianghe, my Pyke is also not bad, you didn't praise me before! You even told me to play this troll hero less!"

Li Xianghe turned his head slightly and replied: "Your Renata is more formidable."

Just then, the message box in the bottom right corner suddenly flickered.

He clicked to open it and saw it was the same ID as before, but this time it was a long paragraph of standard Korean, which clearly wasn't machine-translated, making him subconsciously feel a bit puzzled.

However, after he carefully finished reading the other party's words, especially the linguistic explanation of that technique.

Li Xianghe's eyes gradually became serious and surprised.

It had nothing to do with the fact that he truly didn't know this operational technique itself.

It was that this was the first time he had seen someone actually do this, in a most ordinary ranked game, so seriously adding him as a friend to discuss a small operation from the 3-minute mark of the game.

Thanks to it not being machine-translated, Viper accurately conveyed the vast majority of Ye Bo's true meaning.

So Li Xianghe could also clearly feel that the other party wasn't being sarcastic or anything else.

It was just very simple, very pure, discussing more possibilities for handling that wave of operations with him.

Li Xianghe was himself a person who treated the game very purely.

And at this moment in his heart, he had a brand-new impression of this newcomer player far away in the LPL's EDG team.

He replied in the chat box, equally seriously: 【thanks, iwilltry】.

Turning his head, he clicked on the Shadow Sentinel's portrait again, abandoning his original plan to pick the Emperor for this new match.

Ye Bo saw the reply and was clearly in a great mood: "Trouble you, Viper Ge~~"

"Small matter, small matter, just gank bot more in the future." Viper responded with a laughing-crying emoji and patted the other's shoulder affectionately.

However, this scene was just seen by Scout, who had walked out of his room to go to the bathroom; his expression instantly turned constipated, and he shook his head and trotted past as if he hadn't seen anything.

Damn, Park Do-hyeon, even you!

The chat, having witnessed the whole process, was very lively at this moment.

【Good, good, if Old Li Tou uses the Shadow Sentinel to get a skin in the future, the second signatory must be my Master Ye!】

【Second signatory is a bit lacking, I have a plan, why not change into the team uniform, and then when lifting the trophy, just Photoshop him into the middle!】

【Wake up, Old Li Tou has been in a Waterloo at Worlds for five years, and was beaten up by RNG at MSI this year, feels like he'll retire soon after this year.】

【It's fine, at least the streamer's honor resume can be updated: taught Bin Akali, taught Faker Shadow Sentinel! All face!】

【Not just that, also taught Thief Saint Zoe, taught Bingbing to catch Q, taught On Pyke!】

"We'll start the next game too, after one more match the streamer will be about done, time to sleep~"

For the next game, Ye Bo didn't fill, and due to the strong demands of the viewers in the stream, plus his own whim, he wanted to try "Mid Pyke."

Come to think of it, Mid Pyke had actually appeared a long time ago; at the S9 Worlds, the G2 team staged the "Using Pyke to play all five positions" event, successively using Top Pyke, Jungle Pyke, AD Pyke, etc., and all achieved good results.

And Mid Pyke was actually the mainstream second only to support, even now there was still a group of players insisting on developing and using it.

It was just that due to the designer's changes, the AoE wave-clearing ability of Pyke's QE skills was weakened, forcibly stifling the wave-pushing speed of a solo lane, leading to a sharp decline in his strength.

However, after the last game, Ye Bo felt that it really wasn't unplayable.

It was just because the wave-pushing ability was too weak now, it must only be attempted in specific compositions.

Coincidentally, he was matched with Deft again this game, but it was on the opposite side.

"Oops, seems I forgot to add Alpaca Ge just now, wait until this game is over to remind the streamer to add him!"

This Pyke was laning against Galio.

Ye Bo clearly felt in this game that when facing such heroes with low laning pressure, as long as one could get through the early-game weak window, Pyke still had his own unique place to shine.

Then, once again, the bottom lane was ganked by Pyke's silent roaming.

Deft shook his head and sighed with a bitter smile: "This hero on the opposite side is really a bit annoying."

"Kyeong-hwan, I remember you used to play this too?"

BeryL, who was still rubbing his screen on the side, didn't even lift his head and replied: "Haven't played it in a long time, I prefer Pantheon, Alistar, Bard now, these kinds of heroes..."

BeryL had a well-known fact that he himself didn't shy away from admitting before interviews.

Among all the top-tier professional players, he was definitely one of those with the least training volume, often not even going for actual operational training at all, relying only on "reviewing recordings" to conduct meditation training.

Of course, according to his own words, this was his training method, playing the game with his brain!

However, this method, which wasn't understood by ordinary people, really wouldn't matter if he could keep winning; perhaps it could even forge a different kind of legendary tale.

But if he lost, even if it had nothing to do with it in fact, he would inevitably be subjected to huge criticism and ridicule!

It's just like how DK became the runner-up in S11; even though the biggest culprit for the gap was the top laner, Beryl was the one kicked out by DK in the end. The Korean community was generally saying he wasn't doing his job properly, that he was a "slacker" who didn't train well, until Beryl finally transferred to this DRX team at the end of the transfer window.

Teacher Da B also gave a sharp critique of this matter at the time.

"BeryL? He's quite miserable now, because 'bloating' is going to ruin his professional career."

"So I say, we professional players must work hard, really can't bloat. Look, he almost didn't have a team this year, mobile games are really harmful..."

Of course, DRX's performance after restructuring this year was actually quite commendable, also the fourth-ranked team in the LCK in the Spring Split, and the Summer Split ranking was higher than the current LNG's regional ranking.

Deft didn't continue to press his support.

He certainly knew better than outsiders whether his support was working hard, and he also knew the importance his support brought to the team.

Waiting for the respawn time, Deft switched screens to look at the chat and found that viewers had been typing EDG words.

DRX currently had very low popularity domestically, and there was no live streaming platform to introduce broadcasts at this moment, so naturally, there were no translators or anything.

Only fans who had just come over from Faker's stream saw the ID of that Pyke on the opposite side.

"Is the Pyke on the opposite side EDG's new mid laner who replaced Ruican?"

Deft revealed the same surprise as when Faker first heard this news.

And the difference was that his emotions clearly had quite a few fluctuations.

He had quite a lot of feelings for EDG, the team he had stayed in for many years, and would have some exchanges with old teammates from time to time.

"When chatting with Mingkai and Meiko in the spring, I heard them say that everyone's condition wasn't very good this year, and rotation was quite good, this person is quite formidable."

Deft chatted with the viewers and recalled the past: "Actually, Scout was also constantly rotating with Pawn back then, as long as it's good for the team and can win, it's good."

"Meeting? Epidemic prevention is a bit tight now, maybe there's only hope to meet at this year's Worlds, so we have to work harder too."

"Kyeong-hwan, are you done yet, let's queue one and rest."

"Coming, coming, this broken map is really disgusting, and you have to find seventy-six mushroom spirits, the brain of this game planner is simply more like dog shit than the League of Legends designers..."

BeryL seemed to be angered by something, closed his phone angrily, and switched to Summoner's Rift to practice.

However, perhaps it was because Deft mentioned it, or perhaps it was during the queue period, watching the screen next door and seeing the eye-catching operation of that water ghost.

He actually also picked Pyke.

"OK OK, then the streamer will sign off first, thank you all for your support today! See you tomorrow!"

"In the future? In the future, maybe I won't stream a few days before the match, maybe I won't stream during the day, um, actually maybe I won't stream at night either... In short, it depends on fate!"

Waving goodbye to the viewers, Ye Bo skillfully ignored the full screen of question marks and disconnected the stream.

He sent a friend request to Deft, then leaned back in his gaming chair and let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Ye Bo felt that tonight was very meaningful and fulfilling, as if everything he had once fantasized about was slowly approaching.

So good!

However, when he caught a glimpse of the data settlement that the streaming software would automatically present when closing the stream.

That column regarding {Gift Revenue}.

It made Ye Bo stare with wide eyes, rushing to the screen in a shrimp-like posture!

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand..."

"How, how, how much!"

"Three hundred thousand!?"

To be honest, this number shocked Ye Bo.

When he streamed before, the data in this column had never exceeded three digits, and it could even be said that as long as it wasn't 0, he would be very happy.

When had he ever seen so many digits!

Of course, in fact, 200,000 of this was the ten {Governor} gifts sent by Bilibili boss Chen Rui, which was equivalent to Bilibili's internal discount.

But, even if these were deducted.

As a pure newcomer streamer who started broadcasting for the first time without any warm-up, this was clearly still a terrifying piece of data!

"Streaming is actually really this profitable, I thought it was a scam, otherwise why couldn't I earn any?"

Ye Bo sighed as he sighed.

After his mood calmed down, he still didn't change his mind; he still didn't want to stream too much.

This was already an absolute unexpected harvest, Ye Bo was already very satisfied, and now his whole mind was still on the preparation for the subsequent matches.

But Bilibili's streaming income could be "withdrawn in seconds"... This point was very critical!

Ye Bo directly withdrew the gift earnings, and the income of less than 130,000 after tax was quickly transferred to the linked account.

Ye Bo, who instantly had a feeling of "getting rich overnight," first paid off his Ant Huabei.

"Hey, so good."

"Oh right, seems like the reward for that whatever challenge hasn't been claimed yet..."

Ye Bo remembered this matter, because he was in a hurry to add friends earlier, he ignored that claim interface.

He summoned the interface again.

The three options that appeared before him when the first game ended resurfaced.

【Fate Challenge】

【Target: JackeyLove (Ranked Difficulty) - Completed!】

【According to the target and difficulty level, you can choose one of the following three options to receive a reward!】

【Option 1: State Retention, through memory special training, retain the hero proficiency gained from the temporary boost】

【Option 2: Deep Understanding, through specialized training in the trial field, greatly increase the speed of practicing and improving proficiency in that hero】

【Option 3: Specialized Practice, through studying positioning habits, when matching against this player—the hit rate of "non-directional skills" is increased!】

Ye Bo carefully looked through the three options.

One was an immediate effect, one was a long-term effect, and another was a person-specific effect...

Theoretically speaking, the person-specific effect must have the lowest cost-performance ratio.

After all, the trigger condition for this challenge was "unknown," it wasn't that it could be triggered just by matching up; it seemed that it also had to satisfy the hero and certain conditions.

Although Ye Bo didn't know what kind of bond Kai'Sa and Pyke could have... But he guessed it should be like this.

Otherwise, there was no reason why it specifically required choosing Pyke; could it really be because Pyke's persona was a "water ghost"? The system wasn't a troll!

And under the condition that the trigger condition was unstable, the number of matches each person could play against each other each season was actually quite limited. In a five-person game, even if one had research and restraint against just one person, it didn't mean one could obtain the team's victory.

Ye Bo pondered carefully.

In the end, he decided to choose three.

He thought very simply; after all, to practice a hero, he just needed time.

Those mechanisms and understandings gained from the immediate boost had actually already "flowed" through his head once; he only needed to recall, train, and consolidate them, and what was missing was nothing more than "operational proficiency" in matches.

More importantly, the hero reward could only be locked to "Pyke."

Mid Pyke, although it had been verified that it might have miraculous effects when matching against specific heroes, was destined not to be a mainstream that could be used frequently, and its relative cost-performance ratio was a bit low.

As for choosing the last one, there was actually another very important choice.

Because his next opponent was the TES team where JackeyLove was!

According to Ye Bo's review and research, for the system of this TES, JackeyLove's strategic status was not low!

At least compared to the previous LNG's Light, WBG's Tang Huanfeng, and V5's Photic, the tactical status occupied was definitely very different; this was also a big difference between this TES team and other teams.

【Acquisition Successful!】

【JackeyLove Positioning Habits (S12): Added to Trial Field!】

Ye Bo closed the computer, preparing to return to the dormitory to study what this reward meant...

However, pushing open the door, what he saw was Li Xuanjun lying on the bed laughing.

Looking at Ye Bo who came in, he seemed a bit excited.

"Bo-ah, you are a traffic holy body, I see. Didn't you say you were streaming tomorrow? Why did you explode again tonight!"

"Huh, explode what?"

Ye Bo sat on the edge of the bed curiously, and Brother Shengqiang Ge directly hooked his shoulder and showed him the latest hot post on the Tieba.

《Shock! Faker was actually slapped in the face by a newcomer mid laner in public, threatening to teach him how to play the game! 》

Just seeing the first one, Ye Bo couldn't hold it anymore: "What kind of clickbait title is this? I was just discussing the game with Li Ge... He even told me thanks, and that he would go try it!"

There were quite a few others below.

《How to evaluate that the bottom lane of Ou Chu and Pei Ge Ge was beaten up by Deft and Ye, a fill-in support? 》

《Cao Ge is really rough, counted, he ate 17 hooks in one game, it's outrageous! 》

"It's obviously because Ou Chu is bad, Ge Ge is the top three in the Spring Split! Top three in the Summer Split! The bottom lane with the number one data in the laning phase! And he is?"

"An unnamed former professional player stated that being beaten up by Deft can only show that the support is too formidable! It should indeed be a support gap!"

"That's enough, no matter how bad Alpaca is, he's still an AD in the top four of the LCK league! Don't really think people are bad!"

"Playing a ranked game and it's noisy again, let's talk after winning the match, EDG was shaved by TES in the Spring Split!"

"The one above is inaccurate, hot knowledge, although EDG has an advantage in the bottom lane every game, they haven't won a single BO5 against TES in the last 2 years~"

Brother Shengqiang Ge saw this, immediately raised his phone unconvinced, and was about to switch to a small account to reply.

"This is pure malicious black! Although they really won few, last year's Spring Split, they won once before changing the top laner, and also shaved them!"

"Although, they were shaved back after changing the top laner in the Summer Split, but how could they not have won!"

TES's Spring and Summer lineup in '21 only had changes in the top laner.

And before the top laner was replaced by Qingtian from 369, EDG did indeed play a 3-0!

Although, that was indeed the only major victory in the last three years...

But this is the gold content of 69!

Not yet at the reset point, Ye Bo also opened his phone to take a look.

But looking around, it felt like most of them were maggots using him as a gun barrel to revel.

As two highly-watched teams, the next match between EDG and TES was destined to have explosive traffic, and the topicality of tonight's stream was also not low, naturally triggering quite a bit of discussion.

Saying that this year's TES, in order to build the "Galaxy Battleship," the capital Top Esports rebuilt the team and spent a lot of money!

Just the top salaries for the three positions of mid, jungle, and shooter had to be at least 40 million, plus the support, top laner, and coaching staff, one season's investment couldn't be taken down without half a small goal!

Although the condition was not good when the Spring Split just started, fortunately, after subsequent adjustments, it was considered to have achieved good lineup results.

For this match, everyone in EDG attached great importance to it.

This would be a not-small challenge in their regular season stage, and it would also be a "revenge match" for them!

At the same time, it could also be considered a big hurdle that Ye Bo had already completed in advance, but he himself still regarded it as a "challenge"!

Ye Bo went to bed on time.

Entering the reset trial field, he selected the newly acquired JKL special training template.

This time the venue had changed, no longer a normal Summoner's Rift duel, no normal troop deployment.

It was as if he had come to a "hunting ground," with only two people chasing each other.

He used Pyke, and the opponent was Kai'Sa.

He was constantly hooking in this area, constantly trying.

While stabbing Kai'Sa time and time again, guessing her positioning thoughts and hooking her back, training his familiarity with the opponent's positioning habits, he could also incidentally hone his positioning habits for the general ADC...

For many days and nights, Kai'Sa's butt was flying in the sky, constantly being nailed back by the water ghost's hook...

Soon, a week's time was approaching.

The match day of EDG vs TES arrived!
