Chapter 165 (3)
Commentator D: [Whoa, Smiling’s Leblanc! As far as I know, no one at the LPL competitions ever let Smiling take her! Team C, you haven’t done your homework!]
Commentator F: [Well we’ll find out after this game just how good she is with her. I personally think that if a player hasn’t used a champion in a competition setting for a long time, the feel will be a little off when the player picks them up again…… In comparison, I’m more amazed by LCS’s[1] player Jones’ Leblanc.]
Commentator D: [You don’t know anything about the LPL.]
Commentator F: [I’m surprised that you would say that. I’ll wait and see.]
The commentators had gotten off on a heated start and the audience also got excited. While they were bickering, the ban & pick phase had ended with Lu Sicheng locking Ashe as the last pick– —
The match began.
Team C was a rather strong team overall, especially their mid and carry Ah Long. He had taken Vladimir as his champion, who had strong lifesteal ability. He was playing cautiously and, for the time being, Tong Yao couldn’t do anything to him……
Team C’s top and bot lanes had chosen to play conservatively since they knew that they couldn’t beat ZGDX in the laning phase. They wanted to wait till their mid was fully developed and have him carry the game– –The burden of whether ZGDX could mess up Team C’s momentum now rested on Tong Yao’s shoulder. She was nervous.
The laning phase lasted for 8 minutes.
Tong Yao had already calculated and positioned herself at the right spot to strike as soon as the minions in the lane were cleared. When Ah Long realized the situation and tried to retreat, it was already too late. Leblanc cast w, q, r, e, w in quick succession and Vladimir’s health practically disappeared– —
The audience watched Vladimir survive with only a sliver of health and all it took was a basic attack from Tong Yao to finish him off. Smiling would have one kill under her belt. But they suddenly heard a woman’s screech coming from the stage!
The crowded arena was quiet for a few seconds. Everyone was wondering what had happened.
Commentator A stretched his neck to take a look: [We seem to be hearing some noise from the competition stage– –What’s happening? ! Is there a mouse on stage frightening our lady? !]
As the commentator finished his words, the scene, which was on a 3 second delay, appeared on screen. When Smiling was about to kill Ah Long, an arrow shot from a blind spot from bot, Ashe’s ultimate, smashed right into Vladimir’s head and killed him! ! !
Everyone: “……………………………………………”
The two commentators instantly burst into a fit of laughter.
Commentator D: [Oh ho ho! My goodness, have you ever seen a pitiful guy who’s forced to be single because he steals his girlfriend’s snacks? You’re about to see one soon.]
Commentator F: [What a precise ultimate, from the angle to the timing.]
Commentator D: [We can see now– –Urh, director, could you give us a shot, please– –Alright, alright, now we can clearly see that Smiling’s saying something in a towering rage……]
Commentator F: [If it’s a random match, the mid would go AFK by now.]
Commentator D: [But in formal competitions, going AFK counts as passive play and there’s a penalty for it.]
Commentator F: [……]
……
At the same time, onstage, Tong Yao: “Lu Sicheng! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !”
Lu Sicheng clicked the b key to go back, adjusted his headphones, and calmly said: “What? I was afraid that he was going to slip away so I helped you nail him there……”
Tong Yao: “Nail, shit! ! ! Damn you! ! ! ! ! You did it on purpose! ! ! !”
Lu Sicheng: “Watch your language. Isn’t it just 400 gold? Why so angry.”
Tong Yao: “I’m pissed off! ! I’ve used ten thousand abilities, damn! ! And all that to benefit you! !”
“Yesterday, didn’t I also use ten thousand abilities to give a whole bunch of low health ones for you to kill? Where do you think your quadra kill had come from? You’re spoiled.” Lu Sicheng turned his head to take a look at Tong Yao. Instead of comforting her, he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: “You’ve become a pufferfish when you’re angry.”
Tong Yao wished she could smash the keyboard on that nonchalant handsome face.
Tong Yao: “I’m going AFK. You’ve lost your baby, there’s no mid in this match!”
Lu Sicheng calmly said: “Oh. Think it through; the penalty for passive play in international competitions is in US dollars.”
Tong Yao: “………………………………………..”
Lu Sicheng: “I know you wouldn’t dare doing it. Come, don’t be angry now. Where’s Old K? Come over, go help this pufferfish take blue buff to calm her down.”
Tong Yao: “…………………………………..Fuck!”
