Chapter 123 (1)
Once the game officially started, Old K went over to the blue buff in the upper half of the jungle like always……To the relief of his teammates, this time he didn’t ask Tong Yao to come and help but simply headed directly towards the blue buff. Then he saw Old Cat there waiting for him.
The two of them began to fight for the blue buff without exchanging a word.
Tong Yao pulled her attention back to Ai Jia– –Ai Jia was very stable in the laning phase and had earned the nickname “Mid lane’s defense turret”……These kind of players usually played this way because either their team wasn’t strong enough and he could only wait till the late game when the other lanes caught up to him and then engage in team fights or the player was a stable person and personally preferred or was very well suited to playing this way.
Ai Jia was the latter. He played the game well with a level-headed style which was in sharp contrast to his irritable personality. He was used to playing defensively and counter-attacking quite effectively– –For players like Tong Yao who were aggressive, many of them suffered setbacks when playing against him.
YQCB used to be a weak team and the entire team would play at a slow pace. Back then Ai Jia’s playing style didn’t stand out at all– –But now, YQCB had changed the way they played games. The whole team had become quite aggressive, only Ai Jia would be the one holding everything down. His real function and existence became more obvious. When facing Ai Jia, Tong Yao must be more careful than usual. Because she had to keep track of more finer aspects of the game, it seemed that she was playing a bit over cautiously……
Commentator A: [It’s 3 minutes into the game and everyone is calmly in the laning phase. Let’s take a look at mid, with Smiling having Vladimir as her champion, she seems to be playing with her hands and feet bound……]
Commentator B: [If I were her, when facing defensive type of players like Ai Jia and Lu Yue, I, as an aggressive type of player, would be more prudent in selecting the timing for my attacks– –]
Commentator A: [……Then I miss the courageous Smiling who just came to the major league and knew nothing and feared nothing!”
Commentator B: [……That’s just you. Her team doesn’t miss that at all– –I heard that there was a period of time whenever Smiling was playing ranked matches, Cheng Ge would stand behind her with a feather duster and strike the back of her hand each time she acted impulsively……]
The audience burst into laughter.
Commentator A: [Hahahahahahahaha, where did you hear this rumor?]
Commentator B: [Now they certainly wouldn’t do that. Now we can only see Cheng Ge leaning on Smiling’s chair like a gecko and looking at her affectionately……]
Commentator A: [And PDA everyday on stream.]
……
The players couldn’t hear what the commentators were saying as they played. Tong Yao would take the chance between farming to exchange fire with Ai Jia. But compared to Vladimir, Ai Jia’s Victor had a wider range of attack. Therefore after a few rounds of either initiating or return an attack, Tong Yao’s health potion had run out and she still hadn’t found a chance to kill Ai Jia– —
At that moment, a fight broke out at the bot when players had just reached level 3.
It all started with Little Fatty going to place wards at the river and when he came back, his position was a little off from Lu Sicheng.
Pope reached level 3 about 2 or 3 seconds ahead of Lu Sicheng, about one or two minions more worth of experience. Sivir, with her shield, could easily hurt Ashe. As such, Pope didn’t hesitate to start the fight once he reached level 3 ahead of the opposite side– –Lu Sicheng seemed to have anticipated it and after working together with Little Fatty for so many years, he simply said: “Can fight.” Then he clicked on the floor and the two of them started fighting without missing a beat– —
Lu Sicheng had reached level 3 as their fight began and Little Fatty was also able to counter Pope at the moment. Lu Sicheng started to retreat and took advantage of Ashe’s superior range to build Focus stacks as he retreated, looking all the while for a chance to counter attack– –This was the moment that tested who had the fastest hand speed. Within about 2 seconds, Pope had already caused Little Fatty, who was positioned a little closer to the front, more than half of his health. But at the same time, Lu Sicheng had built 4 stacks of Focus and immediately clicked the q ability to stop Pope’s aggressive attack!
