Chapter 14

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

Beishang nodded. He didn't act tough or claim there was some tacit understanding between him and Su Xing; after all, they had only played two games together, so what kind of synergy could there be? "OK, if that's the case, then there's no problem. When can you guys start the next game?"

Tabe asked: "Are your scrims BO3 or BO5? Who is the next opponent?"

"Basically all BO5s. Playing two teams in a day is about enough."

Uzi paused for a moment and said: "The next one should be Zi Tai's team, but if we win 3:0, we'll probably have to wait a while."

"OK, then just wait until Ning's review is finished."

"I'll go see how much longer Ning's side will take. I don't know how long they'll be arguing this time."

After a few dozen seconds, Uzi said with a smile: "Damn, the atmosphere over there is very explosive. I guess it's because Su Xing went too hard just now."

"Are they still arguing?"

AJ asked with schadenfreude: "If they start fighting, call me to go watch."

"It won't go that far, but judging by this trend, there will probably be quite a bit of drama."

Uzi laughed: "They shouldn't have a script. Listening to their tone, they are genuinely angry; it doesn't look like acting at all."

"Mainly, I don't understand what there is to be angry about."

Su Xing commented sharply: "If the captain and the five-cost card can't carry, you can't blame the three-cost teammates, right?"

"Damn, that's true."

Uzi agreed with this statement and seconded: "To be honest, if you can't carry, why be the captain? If you're a five-cost card, you definitely have to carry. You can't expect a three-cost card to beat the captain, right?"

"Exactly, that's why I still have the right to get carried even after being solo-killed by TheShy several times."

AJ said happily: "It's normal for me to lose to a five-cost card. It would only be a problem if I could actually beat TheShy."

About ten minutes later, news finally came from Ning Wang's side that the review was over.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Uzi called out: "3:0 them, then go bully Zi Tai, and we're off work for the day."

Creating the room and inviting people was done in one go.

Because there was a professional coach like Tabe for the third game, both the BP strategy and the team composition had changed significantly compared to the first two games.

Moreover, Tabe saw things more clearly; he didn't use the mindset of professional tournaments for BP, but designed it based on the difficulty of the Old Man Cup and the players' champion pools.

This point was very important.

Before long, the lineups for both sides in the third game were determined.

Su Xing's side had Tahm Kench top, Xin Zhao jungle, Azir mid, and Kai'Sa + Nautilus bot.

Ning Wang's side had Aatrox top, Lee Sin jungle, Aurelion Sol mid, and Lucian + Nami bot.

"Look at you forcing them to pick Aatrox and Lee Sin."

Uzi joked: "You won't end up disbanding them after this BO5, will you?"

The gold content of TheShy's Aatrox and Ning's Lee Sin is something everyone understands.

"Not that far."

Su Xing smiled slightly and, while the game was loading, activated 【Prophet Replay】 again! However, what he didn't expect was that this game lasted nearly forty minutes, and apart from Uzi in the bot lane, all other lanes collapsed in the early game!

"Good grief, so he ganked me at level three?"

Only then did Su Xing realize that in this game, his death count had exceeded ten, because Ning had been trying every way to restrict him since level three.

In the early laning phase, Ning basically didn't go anywhere except the mid lane. By the mid-game, when Su Xing went to side lanes to push, Ning Wang didn't let him go either, just kept camping him. This led to his extremely high death count, but the price was that Uzi had no restrictions; his individual output held up several mid-game teamfights until he finally scaled up and they won the teamfights.

"Can't afford to lose."

Su Xing felt like laughing; no one would believe that Ning Wang's targeting didn't involve some personal grudges.

But fortunately,

now that he knew Ning Wang's strategy for this game, everything became much simpler.

"I'll probably be targeted this game."

Su Xing said slowly: "The death count might be a bit high."

To prevent anyone from saying he was stream-sniping later, he gave his teammates a heads-up this time.

Regardless of whether Ning could actually kill him, he had already guessed at the start of the game that he would be infinitely targeted in this match.

"It's fine, I can watch you this game."

Beishang was indifferent; how much can one be targeted in the Old Man Cup? Could he really just stay in the mid lane forever? "You protect the bot lane."

Su Xing paused for a moment and said: "Don't worry about me, I can handle it myself."

"Alright."

Soon the minion wave appeared,

because he knew at what time Ning Wang would come to gank him, Su Xing's early style became unusually aggressive. In just one wave of minions, Xiaocaobao felt the pressure from Su Xing again.

A pressure even more terrifying than the previous two games; damn, if you covered the ID, you'd think Chovy had arrived.

"I'm coming."

Ning Wang didn't choose the standard fast-level-4 path this game, but went straight for a fast-level-3 with both buffs and arrived near the mid lane. However, at this moment, Su Xing, who was aggressive a second ago, suddenly stepped back a few paces.

Yet that wasn't enough; just as Ning Wang was hesitating, Su Xing stepped forward again.

"Damn, is there a ward here?"

Ning froze in place. He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that Azir was teasing him from this position! He knew his location!

That's not right; shouldn't all junglers still be in the jungle for a fast level 4 at this time? How did he know he would come for him at level 3? "Impossible!"

Xiaocaobao said confidently: "I didn't see him place a ward over there!"

"Strange..."

Ning Wang was indecisive; should he gank or not?

However, what he didn't know was that Su Xing's real intention was to waste Ning Wang's time. In this situation, other junglers would definitely choose to leave, but Ning Wang was different.

His personality was extremely arrogant; even if he realized that Su Xing knew his position, he still wouldn't leave. He would definitely walk out of the bush and Q him.

After ten seconds of back-and-forth, Ning Wang finally couldn't hold back.

He walked out of the bush wanting to land a Q skill on Su Xing, but Su Xing stepped back just in time to dodge it perfectly.

"This..."

Ning Wang was helpless. No, how did this guy know he was here?

The next moment, an even more frustrating scene occurred: Su Xing actually flashed a thumbs-up emote at him! "Damn."
