Chapter 9: Roll, Roll Hard

"They surrendered."

At the same time, Su Xing saw the game screen suddenly switch to the moment the opposing base exploded, and he immediately understood what had happened.

【This match has ended, friendly Emotion Points 1850, enemy Emotion Points 2350.】

"Brothers, well played, I'm trash."

AJ was a bit happy. He didn't expect to win against Theshy in this game! "Awesome, awesome!"

Uzi also clapped and smiled. "Winning this kind of game is just too satisfying, even more satisfying than winning a game in Korean server ranked."

"It's alright, everyone played well."

Even the current Su Xing couldn't help but feel emotional that he would still feel happy for a victory after many years. After all, this game was indeed fun when there was no Mythic Equipment System.

"They said they want to review, so we have to wait a bit."

Uzi paused for a moment and then said, "Rest or what? Should we review too?"

"No, no, no, we won and still have to review?"

Hearing this, AJ felt a panic in his heart. Reviewing at this time was equivalent to public execution. You have to know that in this ranked game just now, the scene of him being solo-killed by Theshy was too ugly.

"Indeed, I also feel there's no need to review."

Uzi nodded. "How about this, everyone rest for a bit, I'll go take a look at how they review."

"Sure, I'll eat something while I'm at it."

At this time, Gao Wen also opened the door, took the food delivery, and placed it beside Su Xing, taking this opportunity to fill his stomach.

"Holy crap, come see them review."

After a while, Uzi suddenly laughed out loud. "They're about to fight."

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

AJ, who loved watching the chaos, hurriedly asked.

"You'll see when you look. This isn't a review, it's basically a trial."

Uzi tried his best to hold back his laughter. "Su Xing, you come see too, it's quite fun."

"Sure, I'll take a look."

Su Xing held food in one hand and opened the Huya live streaming platform with the other, then saw Theshy's live room on the homepage and clicked in.

"No, bro, this wave, just this wave, how could you guys in the bot lane play like this?"

As soon as he clicked in, he heard Ning's loud voice, and the live screen was also playing the laning situation in the bot lane frame by frame.

"Frame-by-frame review?"

Su Xing was a bit speechless at this. He complained, "Reasonably speaking, can this be called a review? Isn't this just targeting?"

Not to mention Weixiao, who could withstand such a frame-by-frame analysis?

And wasn't it natural for the bot lane to be blasted by Uzi?

If he remembered correctly, Weixiao had been retired for almost ten years, and Uzi hadn't been retired for long. When he came, he also heard that Uzi had returned to EDG last summer to play for half a season.

In any case, Uzi's state and strength were basically no different from a top-tier AD in the LPL, plus the mid-jungle frequently took care of the bot lane—it was inevitable to be blasted.

"I remember Weixiao is a three-cost card, right?"

Su Xing paused for a moment and said slowly, "And Zhao Zhiming, I remember he used to be EDG's jungler, he shouldn't have played support, right?"

"Indeed, if the support doesn't know how to play, it's very jail-like for the AD."

Uzi felt the same way.

"Picking on the bot lane in this situation really doesn't make much sense."

Su Xing commented sharply, "The captain and the five-cost card not being able to carry is the original sin. If the three-cost card could carry, then why would he be called a three-cost card?"

"Reasonable, correct, and fair."

Beishang agreed very much with this statement.

"Then what about you, this one-cost card carrying us—what's the explanation?"

AJ asked while holding back his laughter. "On WeGame, you're the MVP!"

"Is there a possibility that it's WeGame's problem?"

Everyone:... "Are they not going to fight?"

After watching for a while, Su Xing found that Ning's emotions were getting more and more excited, and asked curiously, "Why is Ning still stuck on the bot lane problem?"

"It's fine, just get used to it."

Uzi laughed dumbly. "Viewers in the live stream, don't feel too excited. This kind of situation is very common in professional teams. If you don't believe me, ask Su Xing—was the review back when you played professionally more explosive than this?"

"It's alright. If it were a professional team, this kind of situation might be even more complicated."

Su Xing smiled slightly. "But this is also very normal, right? If there's a problem in the match, how can you solve it without arguing?"

"Wow, they even said they want to find a professional coach to help with BP and review?"

Uzi was a bit surprised. "Should we find one too?"

"Sure, I have no problem."

AJ thought this idea was good. After all, having a professional coach to help with BP or review was a good thing.

"Su Xing, what do you think?"

"I think it's possible, but the problem is, will any coach be willing to come and help?"

Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "The problem is that for this kind of competition, I guess not many people are willing to be a coach, right?"

And isn't the Legend Cup an entertainment tournament played by a bunch of retired old men? How come even professional coaches have started to appear?

"Let me think..."

Uzi paused for a few seconds and said, "Yeah, I can ask Tabe to help. I'll ask him on WeChat."

A few minutes later, Uzi said, "It's settled, brothers, Tabe said he can come."

"Can, having Tabe here is definitely useful."

AJ felt emotional. "Still have to be Gou Ye's face that's useful, opening his mouth is an LPL-level coach."

"By the way, when we have to play offline matches later, should we find an esports hotel to gather in advance?"

Uzi seemed to feel that finding a coach wasn't enough, and even started considering the problem of offline training.

Roll, just roll hard! "Hey, does the Legend Cup have offline matches?"

Su Xing looked back at Gao Wen and seemed a bit confused. When they came to find him, they didn't say he had to play offline matches... "You didn't know?"

Uzi was surprised and said, "It seems like four or six teams have to play offline matches later. I guess it will be the kind where they sell tickets just like the LPL."

Su Xing:... A Legend Cup composed of a bunch of retired old men, and they even have to sell tickets offline. This can only be said that the person who came up with the Legend Cup idea at Huya is indeed a genius. "That's fine."

Su Xing thought for a moment and reminded, "But consider the problem that you guys have to stream. If two or three people stream together in one room, it will be quite troublesome."

"That's true, this is a problem."

Hearing this, Uzi fell into deep thought. Huya's original intention for the Legend Cup was to drive the employment of retired players, but they couldn't affect their respective streams because of centralized training.

"Forget it, I'll think about it carefully these two days."

Uzi didn't continue to think about it; anyway, this matter wasn't urgent.

At the same time, Ning's side also ended this review, and they were extremely efficient, actually finding a coach responsible for youth training in the first instance.

"Holy crap, their coach is already in place."

Uzi laughed helplessly. "This speed is too exaggerated, where are we even at..."

"Can only say, this is efficiency."

AJ felt emotional. "Then the second game is hard to play. They have an extra coach responsible for BP and review. The more they play, the harder it is to play."

"The problem isn't big, let's play first."

Su Xing said slowly, "The rhythm of the Legend Cup and the official match is different. At this stage, the coach can only play the role of review."

"Indeed."

Uzi agreed very much with Su Xing's words. "The heroes that can be played in the match are completely different from what we old men can play, AJ, don't be nervous."

Soon, the second training match unfolded.

Because of the addition of a youth training coach on Ning's side, the BP ideas and lineup construction were more perfect compared to the previous game.

Uzi's side didn't have much to say. The overall idea was top lane resistance, mid lane development, jungle protecting the bot lane, and the main focus was the fault tolerance of team fights.

Before long, the lineups for both sides were determined one after another.

On Su Xing's side, it was K'Sante top, Lee Sin jungle, Taliyah mid, and Ezreal + Karma bot.

On Ning's side, it was Renekton top, Xin Zhao jungle, Hwei mid, and Ashe + Nautilus bot.

Entering the loading screen, Su Xing triggered 【Prophet Replay】 again. But this time, what he didn't expect was that the game was only twenty-five minutes long! And they lost! You have to know that the game time of the previous match was thirty-six minutes, and this one actually lost in just twenty-five minutes? "Good guy, Theshy directly became a god."

By observing the things that happened at multiple time nodes, Su Xing also had some understanding of this match. The reason they lost this time was that Ning, like playing matches in the past, blindly ganked the top lane.

A Renekton was originally a strong early-game hero, plus Ning's Xin Zhao blindly tower-dived, leading to Theshy's Renekton being invincible by just sixteen minutes.

And he was also quite miserable in this laning phase because he didn't know what kind of hero Hwei was, and he didn't understand his skills at all, which led to his laning phase directly falling into a disadvantage.

The bot lane was actually okay, it was just that Weixiao directly picked Ashe and hid behind the minion wave, not giving Uzi too many opportunities at all, which led to Uzi only being able to get kills when there was a jungler.

"It's a bit difficult to break the situation in this game. No, I have to understand the skills of this hero, Hwei."

Su Xing exited the 【Prophet Replay】 mode and immediately opened the web page to start searching for some videos related to Hwei on Baidu. This scene made Gao Wen behind him laugh dumbly.

However, she could also understand. After all, for Su Xing, he really didn't know the skill characteristics of some new heroes.

Fortunately, in this era, the rise of short videos wasn't a bad thing, allowing Su Xing to have enough understanding of the hero 【Hwei】 in a video of just a few minutes.

"The nickname of this thing is MaoBiRen (Brush Man)..."

Su Xing pondered for a while. Although the mechanism of this hero looked very complicated, it shouldn't be very difficult to actually get started. Should he try it in the next game?

"Su Xing, let's go."

Just at this moment, Uzi's prompt came from YY. Su Xing hurriedly switched back to the game and saw that the minion wave was about to appear.

"My bad, I was looking at Hwei's skills."

Su Xing said truthfully, "I hadn't seen this hero, so I searched for it."

Everyone:... Is this considered holding the Buddha's feet at the last minute?

"It's fine, I already know how to lane against the Brush Man."

Su Xing said, "Theshy picked Renekton in the top lane this game, Ning will probably keep tower-diving the top lane, how to solve this?"

"I'll just be cowardly..."

AJ shrugged his shoulders. "I won't trade health with him, he can't tower-dive me at full health, right?"

"You said the same thing in the last game."

Beishang silently added a knife at the appropriate time.

AJ:... "Can't be cowardly."

Su Xing shook his head. In the face of an absolute strength gap, it wasn't that you could be cowardly if you wanted to, especially since Theshy was playing a hero like Renekton, a line-bully level hero.

"I'll try to die a few less times?"

AJ hesitated. Isn't it normal for an old thing like himself to be solo-killed by Theshy? "We'll see when the time comes."

Regarding this situation, Su Xing also had no clue. After all, AJ's strength was indeed inferior to Theshy's, and Ning taking him as a breakthrough was also a reasonable expectation.

But under these circumstances, if you kidnap the jungler to help the top lane, it's very likely that the top-jungle will link up, one dies and one sends, but if you don't go, this Renekton will become a big Boss.

Unless Uzi's bot lane can also kill, for example, Ning goes to the top lane to tower-dive and kill a K'Sante, then Beishang can go to the bot lane to help Uzi tower-dive, and if the opposing bot lane duo dies, they die two.

Theshy kills one, Uzi kills two, only in this way can a balanced situation be maintained. If they really reach the mid-game team fight, Uzi won't have no way to deal with Renekton.

"I have to roam this game..."

Weixiao picked Ashe, clearly just to be a tool man. When team fighting, he blindly provided an R-skill for Uzi. As for laning, dying a few less times was already the greatest help to the team.

After the last game of laning against the opposing mid laner Xiaocaobao, he also felt that the other side wasn't very strong. After all, they couldn't even line-kill someone like himself who hadn't touched the game for several years, saying he was strong didn't make much sense.

The minion wave arrived as scheduled.

Compared to the last game, Su Xing's state had gradually recovered a bit. Those laning games that were carved into the deepest part of his mind were gradually mastered again.

But this made Xiaocaobao suffer. In the last game, he still felt that although Su Xing was a bit strong, he didn't show the kind of suffocating suppression. But now that the second game started, he felt completely different!

After two waves of minions, Xiaocaobao's health was already precarious.

"This guy changed people..."

Xiaocaobao used a health potion to restore his health to a relatively healthy level, but at this time, he still had lingering fears.

The pressure was too great!

The laning game of these short two minutes made him suffer enough. The situation where he could empty his health potion all at once showed how much pressure Su Xing brought him.

He felt that if this continued, he would probably be solo-killed by this person at level 6.

"Jungler, jungler, come save me."

Helplessly, Xiaocaobao could only open his mouth to seek Ning's help. Under the current circumstances, he needed the jungler to help him push the lane, and then he could go home and walk out again.

In this way, he could save a teleport.
