Chapter 34: Zitai: Trust me, Viktor carries every game

"Get ready to start the third game!"

Uzi spoke up to smooth things over, "By the way, Su Xing, remember to save some time in a few days."

"What's up?"

Su Xing was slightly stunned. Could there be something important in a few days? "Playing an entertainment match against G2."

Uzi glanced at his phone and said, "G2 really seems to have this idea. Their domestic operations person added me on WeChat and said they wanted to ask by the way which day you have time."

"They're really coming?"

Su Xing couldn't help but laugh. This actually fit his impression of the G2 team.

They might not be great at playing matches, but when it comes to content creation, G2 really dares to call themselves second, and no other team in the world dares to call themselves first.

"Didn't you check Weibo?"

Uzi picked up his phone and read, "2024 MSI itinerary: 1. Eat hot pot, 2. Try to sign Su Xing, 3. Play a match by the way."

"6."

Su Xing was speechless; he could only say, as expected of you, G2.

"Aren't they playing in a tournament?"

Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Riot's tournament rules seem to state that no commercial activities can be conducted during the tournament. We can't just play an entertainment match against G2 without streaming it, right?"

"Is there such a rule?"

Uzi was stunned; he really didn't know Riot had such a rule.

"Yeah, there is."

Su Xing nodded and said, "Even if both sides really want to play, they have to wait until G2 finishes this MSI tournament. In other words, as long as G2 isn't eliminated, they can't participate in any activities that involve commercial nature."

"I see..."

Uzi paused slightly and said, "Then if they get eliminated halfway through, can they play?"

"Theoretically, yes."

Su Xing said softly, "But the problem is, after losing MSI, will they still be in the mood to play a streaming entertainment match with us?"

"That's true..."

Uzi nodded and said, "Then let's do this: I'll communicate with G2 first. If it's confirmed that we're playing, you guys should all be able to come, right?"

"Forget it, forget it, I really can't come."

AJ smiled bitterly, "If G2 is eliminated halfway, they definitely won't be in a good mood. If they come over to play an entertainment match, wouldn't that just be serving as punching bags for them?"

"I'm not coming either."

Bei Shang refused this matter very decisively because, for him, there wasn't much benefit. With this time, he might as well go do some boosting jobs.

"I'll pass too; I'll really get beaten up."

Xiao Duan hesitated to speak. He wanted to participate in his heart, but considering that he couldn't even beat retired players now, going to lane against active pros was a bit self-humiliating.

"Ah, this..."

Uzi was a bit disappointed. Didn't they all say it was no problem just now? "Su Xing, what about you?"

Su Xing was about to say something, but at this moment, Gao Wen tugged at the corner of his clothes, signaling him to look at her phone screen.

"Agree to it. You can find TheShy, who is also on Huya, to form a brand-new team to play the entertainment match."

Su Xing:... Good guy, Huya is going crazy for traffic.

He now had reason to suspect that this Old Man Cup thing might have been thought up by Gao Wen in front of him. And don't say, if that were the case, the hype would really be maxed out.

"I have no problem."

Su Xing was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "If you really want to play, you can contact Huya to help you bridge the connection and find TheShy and others to be your teammates."

"Damn, genius!" Uzi slapped his thigh hard and said, "This idea is awesome! It's settled then. I'll have someone contact Huya to follow up on this matter with G2."

Top lane TheShy, jungle Ning, mid lane Su Xing, bottom lane Uzi + Bao Lan.

Just thinking about this lineup is exciting. If they were taken to play in the LPL, they might even have a spot.

"Yeah, let's play tonight's training match first."

Su Xing smiled and said, "You guys don't want to lose to Zitai and log off in shame, right?"

Everyone:... Stop scolding, stop scolding. Can't we just play the third game well?

"OK, Zitai said they can start anytime."

Uzi scolded with a smile, "Zitai has been peeking at our court session; he's almost suffocated from laughing."

"It's fine, he won't be able to laugh in a bit."

"No, what does this person mean!"

Zitai, who was watching the stream, was suddenly unhappy. You won't let me laugh?

"I insist on laughing!"

Zitai said carelessly, "I originally thought about just having some fun with you guys, but you're forcing me to get serious, right?"

"What do you say, are you going to use your signature champion?"

Xiaolongbao chimed in, "Don't tell me you're going to play Viktor; it's a bit disgusting."

"Damn, you guessed it."

Zitai was full of confidence, "You can doubt me, but can't you trust my Viktor that carries every game?!"

"Is there a possibility that I don't trust either."

Xiaolongbao rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, play well, listen to my command, we can win."

To be honest, after playing these two games, he really didn't feel any obvious gap between the two sides other than the mid lane.

Even the bottom lane with Uzi, which everyone thinks is very strong, could at least hold on even if the two of them couldn't win.

At this time, as long as Zitai acts like a human being,

Xiaolongbao felt that they weren't without a chance to win against the opponent's lineup.

"Don't, don't, trust me, you really have to trust me."

Zitai swore, "I will definitely carry this game!"

Xiaolongbao: He didn't have an opinion about Zitai, but about the champion Viktor.

To be reasonable, no matter who is jungling, they wouldn't want their mid-laner to be a Viktor. If a fight breaks out in the river, the early-game Viktor is really not as useful as a minion.

"Fine, just play one game."

Although Xiaolongbao was reluctant, because Zitai was the captain, he couldn't directly demand what he should play to cooperate with him. He just took a step back and said, "If... I mean if we still lose this game, then listen to me for the fourth game, okay?"

"OK, OK."

Zitai thought to himself that if his Viktor carries one game, the score becomes 2:1, and then he trolls a bit in the fourth game to make the score 2:2. In this way, both the topic and the stream's heat would be maxed out.

Immediately after, Zitai created a new custom room. After Uzi entered, he pulled everyone, including Su Xing, in.

After everyone was ready, the game started directly. With Tabe's help, their pick/ban method gradually became formulaic, mainly targeting the top lane.

Because AJ's laning ability wasn't good, Tabe's idea was not to let 957 take those late-game hyper-carry top lane champions, especially Camille and Gwen, which were banned directly.

Secondly, one or two supports had to be banned, which would allow Uzi to play more comfortably in the bottom lane during the laning phase.
