Chapter 89
"Actually, the feeling this game gives me is that Uzi's team is tempering their players. If you observe carefully, the absolute core of Uzi's team right now is the mid-laner Su Xing. As a strong player, he is working hard to help his teammates adapt to the rhythm of this level of competition. We can see that in a very short time, Su Xing has achieved true growth, which is becoming a leader."
"In the game League of Legends, excellent players are common, but an excellent leader is rare." Miller did not spare his praise, because he also liked the bloody style of Uzi's team. Advantages are never managed into existence; they are fought for!
As long as you get a slight advantage, I dare to fly a dragon into your face and teach you how to behave! Guan Zeyuan had no way to refute this, because he had to admit that throughout the game, Su Xing was the absolute core of Uzi's team!
This feeling is unique. Even if the teammates are at a disadvantage, as long as Su Xing is still alive, the team has infinite possibilities!
The audience in the online live stream was also going crazy. Although this looked like a slaughter of noobs, it was just satisfying to watch!
This highly aggressive style was something they really liked. To be honest, many people find most games boring. The reason is simple: the whole game is just macro and more macro. A game that goes on for twenty minutes without a single kill is meaningless... For example, the games in the LCK region next door make them want to curse after watching. Two teams fighting over a fire dragon and circling it for three minutes; in those three minutes, no one died, and the fire dragon didn't die either.
Watching these games makes them want to sleep. Only the games between Uzi's team and Ning Wang's team make them unable to help but shout excitedly while watching.
To hell with macro, we're here to fight! "Uzi's team is too fierce today. The whole game is either killing people or in the process of killing people..."
"One word: satisfying. This is what a real game is!"
"Have you noticed? Ever since Su Xing joined, the whole Uzi team seems to have changed. When the previous mid-laner was there, it wasn't that they weren't strong, it just felt lifeless, like something was missing."
"Brother, this three-star Jayce comes with a wild tower-dive buff. Once he's on the field, he activates the 'reckless' bond, and everyone becomes reckless."
"Playing too much Teamfight Tactics? But Su Xing's three-star Jayce is a bit fierce."
"I declare that from now on, there are only two types of Jayce in this world: Su Xing's Jayce, and everyone else's Jayce."
"TheShy: Meow meow meow?"
"Mid-lane Jayce, nothing to do with top lane, you can't meow meow meow."
"TheShy: Then I'm really in trouble."
"Su Xing, I beg you, go take the Baron! That inhibitor tower isn't made of paper!!!"
"Is everyone else tower diving, and only my Ning Wang team is getting beaten up?"
"Brother Su, shall we take the Baron and end it?"
In the game, Beishang was killed by the inhibitor tower while diving, and he immediately felt resentful. Is an inhibitor tower all that great? Once I get the buff, I'll just charge in; even the nexus towers won't be able to stop us.
"I'm telling you, why take the Baron now? With such a big lead, taking the Baron is insulting others, you know?"
Everyone:??? The four of them looked at Su Xing in unison. What kind of god-tier logic is this?
"Let me analyze it for you."
Su Xing said seriously: "We have at least a 10,000 gold lead now. If we take the Baron, that's a 15,000 lead. Ning Wang's team is our fellow team after all, we have to be polite. Losing a game with a 15,000 gold difference, can they feel comfortable?"
Beishang wanted to say something but stopped. It seemed like what Su Xing said actually made sense.
Although they would lose the game anyway, losing with a 10,000 gold difference definitely sounds better than losing with a 15,000 gold difference, even if the difference isn't huge.
"Right? No grudges, no need for that," Su Xing said with reason and evidence. "So, at this time, we should go all out and head straight for the inhibitor!"
"And then?"
"And then? Push the tower."
"But they're blocking us."
"Then just rush into the fountain and kill them all."
Everyone: →_→
AJ, who was drinking water, almost spat it out. This is not wanting to be human again, right? Taking the Baron is insulting others, but camping the fountain doesn't count? If Ning Wang's team heard this, they would probably want to just surrender and end the game.
Wait, the game doesn't allow surrendering, so never mind, just keep getting beaten up.
This set of twisted logic obviously convinced the four teammates. Taking advantage of the minion wave, everyone rubbed their hands, ready to teach Ning Wang's team what a strong team is.
"Push the tower, push the tower, take the inhibitor first."
"Yes, yes, yes, break the inhibitor first, don't rush, don't rush."
Su Xing: →_→
Who said these words? Why can his teammates talk about pushing the tower while rushing directly into the inhibitor? Are they all so hypocritical? Facing the aggressive Uzi team of five diving the tower together, Ning Wang's team had no way to parry and could only passively take a beating. Especially the opposing ADC Kai'Sa, who didn't even have a chance to output damage before dying inexplicably to an unknown AOE attack. Uzi's team had Jayce, the invincible human cannon; one shot and everyone was low on health, and no one could handle it. Their own ADC Xayah also entered a harvesting state. The ADC who had been holding back for twenty minutes could finally hold their head high at this moment.
"Double Kill!"
"Triple Kill!"
"Quadra Kill!"
Just as Xayah was about to take the pentakill, a very discordant message suddenly popped up.
Jayce killed Fiora! Everyone:... "My bad, my bad, my bad." Su Xing only then came to his senses. Did he accidentally steal his own ADC's pentakill?
But he couldn't be blamed for this. Who could have imagined that Ning Wang's team was like paper? One shot from him and they were almost gone.
Uzi wanted to say something but stopped. Looking at his quadra kill, he also humbly said: "No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stolen Brother Su's pentakill."
Beishang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. This is too funny. "Okay, starting to be sarcastic, huh? Brother Su, I'm not trying to stir up trouble, can you tolerate this?" A certain top-laner who was good at stirring up trouble said.
"Damn... AJ, you traitor, trying to stir up trouble, right?"
Su Xing just smiled without saying a word. This atmosphere was pretty good. The inhibitor tower was broken, and the audience at the venue erupted in thunderous applause. This kind of game footage was just too satisfying to watch!
"Next, Uzi's team should go take the Baron. Wait, they didn't go. Could it be they want to end it in one wave? My god..." Miller stared at the game screen, dumbfounded, his tone full of disbelief, as if he had seen something hard to believe.
After breaking the mid-lane inhibitor, Uzi's team didn't go directly to take the Baron, nor did they go to break other inhibitors, but chose to drive straight in, wanting to end the game directly!
This style... "They're going to end it. At 23 minutes, Uzi's team killed this game with an 11,000 gold lead," Guan Zeyuan sighed. However, the next moment, he also widened his eyes and looked at the game screen: "No, no, are they going to keep killing?"
"Push the tower, end the game quickly. Uzi's team is just too..." Miller almost cried when he saw this. In the game, with the crystal and nexus towers still standing, the five members of Ning Wang's team revived one after another because this is an on-site match and they have to put on a show of struggling... As a result, just as they walked out of the fountain's range, the five members of Uzi's team acted like they were crazy and started again! Ning Wang's team members had black lines on their faces. Damn, that's enough! We were just pretending to resist, can you guys just push and end the game? Is camping the fountain fun?
But to the members of Uzi's team, is this called camping the fountain?
Those who block me from pushing the tower must die!
All five of them were completely crazy, rushing to the fountain for a slaughter. The final result was naturally that the members of Uzi's team fell one after another in front of the opponent's fountain, but one person survived. The half-health Jayce didn't know when he had retreated and was constantly auto-attacking the crystal with the minions.
"You guys, how many times have I said it? Push the tower, push the tower, you know?" "Tabe will definitely criticize you guys later. I'm having such a hard time..."
"Why can't you guys be as steady as I am?"
Everyone: →_→
Who was the one who just fired a shot at someone else's fountain? Su Xing is just too shameless!
It was clearly him who started it. What happened to the agreement to rush the fountain together? Why was he the only one who survived?
"Uh, it seems like Uzi's team is having a bit too much fun." Miller looked at Ning Wang's team losing in this way, feeling a bit unhappy.
But... they are indeed strong, nothing to be done about it.
Slaughtering other teams is one thing, but how come they are also slaughtering Ning Wang's team?
And the audience at the venue was cheering wave after wave. If he said half a word against Uzi's team at this time, his Weibo would probably be blown up.
"Regardless, let's congratulate Uzi's team on their 2-0. Let's wait and see if Ning Wang's team can manage a reverse sweep!"
As Su Xing's Jayce finally auto-attacked the base's health to zero, this game came to an end.
The second game ended, and everyone returned to the backstage to take a short rest.
"To be honest, it was much easier than I thought."
Uzi commented: "I hadn't even exerted my strength yet, and the opponent's base was gone."
"Pretty good, a total slaughter."
AJ spread his hands and said: "End it early, you guys are all having fun while I'm the one getting beaten up."
Today's Old Man Cup finals were a treat for everyone, except for AJ, because the pressure from TheShy can only be felt by those who lane against him.
"Yeah, let's end the third game early too."
Su Xing stretched and smiled: "There's still serious business after this."
Today, the official side and TES had already prepared in advance. As soon as the Old Man Cup match was over, they would immediately follow up with publicity about his return to the field and joining TES.
"What serious business?"
Uzi and the others were a bit surprised. Isn't the most important thing today finishing the Old Man Cup finals?
Oh, no, it looks like today's game should be an easy 3-0 victory, so the most important thing naturally becomes the group dinner after the game.
"You'll know in a bit."
Su Xing kept them in suspense. Even Uzi and the others didn't know about his upcoming comeback.
Perhaps there were some rumors outside, but he personally hadn't mentioned it to these teammates.
"OK, let's focus."
Tabe clapped his hands and said: "The third game's Ban/Pick won't change much. Just keep this state and we can easily win."
As a coach, there wasn't much he could say. After all, the whole team had performed like this, and he couldn't nitpick anymore.
After all, once they won the third game, everyone would go their separate ways, and there would basically be no chance to play together again.
"Fine."
The short break passed, and Su Xing and the others returned to the stage under the guidance of the referee.
Compared to the relaxed expressions of Su Xing's side, Ning Wang's side looked a bit... serious.
For Ning Wang's team, it was quite helpless.
Although they were mentally prepared to lose before the match, they thought they could at least win two games or one, right? Getting hit with a 0-2 right off the bat, who could handle that? This time, the Ban/Pick was still no different from the first game. For Uzi's team, as long as they banned those late-game heroes who become extremely abnormal when they develop, it was enough.
And for Ning Wang's team, they couldn't care about dealing with those so-called version heroes anymore, but had to comprehensively target Su Xing's champion pool to restrict him.
"What does Su Xing want to play?"
Tabe stood behind Su Xing and asked. He was already used to Taliyah, Azir, and Orianna being banned.
It's estimated that as long as Su Xing is around, these heroes will never have a chance to appear again.
"Coach, I want to play LeBlanc."
Su Xing raised his head slightly and said: "Is that okay?"
Everyone:... They didn't expect that in the last game, Su Xing would take the initiative to play a hero like LeBlanc. You have to know that in the current version, LeBlanc isn't actually very strong, and the requirements for the player are even more demanding during team fights.
"Fine."
Tabe was silent for a moment and said: "But should we save it for the last pick?"
If they pick LeBlanc first, the opponent might pick Lissandra to counter Su Xing's LeBlanc. Wouldn't that be like cutting off one's own arm?
"Doesn't feel like there's any difference."
Su Xing shrugged and said: "They will most likely pick their mid-laner on the fifth pick this game, so whatever I pick will have to be shown first."
"Fine, then let's pick it on the third pick."
Tabe nodded. Having such a mid-laner really makes things easier.
When Su Xing's side picked LeBlanc, the whole audience was in an uproar.
"LeBlanc..."
Miller was a bit surprised and said: "Is there a hero like LeBlanc in Su Xing's champion pool?"
"Hard to say. The heroes Su Xing took out to play today are completely different from those he played in training games."
Guan Zeyuan commented: "I now have a feeling that the few heroes he played from the beginning were actually smoke bombs deliberately released..."
