Chapter 36: Exactly!
“Hiss…” Wa Wa watched EDG’s base explode, feeling like the league was about to face a massive earthquake. Suddenly, EDG seemed to collapse completely.
Could it really be that they lost all their form after just one match?
Xiao Xue Di was actually burst down by Zitai, and it was a LeBlanc burst at that.
“Zitai… this Hextech Gunblade LeBlanc really has something. It feels like it heals a ton, and the push ability is also very strong, frequently pressuring EDG’s top and bot lanes. Under these circumstances, they don’t dare to push the wave over.” Miller adjusted his glasses, analyzing seriously.
Rita finally found a chance to chime in, nodding and adding: “Right, Zitai’s LeBlanc is exaggerated. The Hextech Gunblade is truly well understood. Earlier I saw him build Long Sword and thought he messed up.”
This made the live stream room and on-site audience all nod.
Indeed, at the start many thought LeBlanc had the wrong items. No way it’s an AD LeBlanc, right?
Even though LeBlanc has been nerfed so much now, this is still too absurd. How could you pull this off on the arena stage?
But the result was that building Hextech Gunblade worked really well.
Just mindlessly trade, then after trading use minions to easily suck health back to full.
This left Ryze with too low health, unable to match the wave.
Then Sofm comes over, and they can easily complete the dive and kill.
Once mid-jungle rhythm kicks in, the match is actually already very stable.
No matter what, League of Legends is all about mid-jungle rhythm.
Once mid-jungle gets the lead, they can play very comfortably.
Even if bot lane gives up a few kills, it doesn’t really matter. In the end, Snake Team laughs last, easily taking the match victory.
At this moment, the camera cuts to Clearlove taking off his headphones, and the bullet comments in the live stream room completely explode.
【That’s it? I thought you guys were tough, but Zitai treated you like bots!】
【Hilarious, last week Zitai got randomly killed by Unreal’s LeBlanc in ranked. Didn’t you all see? Unreal’s LeBlanc build is Hextech Gunblade plus Lich Bane, yet a bunch of people asking what Long Sword means? Isn’t that a bit clownish?】
【Can’t understand, is Scout this bad? Can’t even beat Zitai, what Faker successor is this?】
【Zitai: Do I look impressive?】
【Where’s Unreal? Save them! Maybe letting him on would have some miracle effect!】
【Overthinking it. With Unreal the clown, he even streamed Crossfire on the way to the arena instead of practicing. Bringing that untrained guy on would lose even faster.】
【Right, if Unreal gets subbed in for a match, that’s completely giving up.】
EDG fans in the live stream room saw these taunting comments. Though they felt very upset inside, they couldn’t find any rebuttal reasons.
Because EDG really played too ugly.
They could only hope to get revenge in later matches. Losing one game is no big deal, as long as they win the match overall.
In EDG’s backstage lounge, everyone hung their heads like defeated captives, the atmosphere truly hitting rock bottom.
Abu’s expression was also extremely ugly.
His tone carried some urgency and anger: “What exactly are you playing? Why play so absurdly? Ming Kai, what’s with your jungle vision? Why is it pitch black? Sofm directly turned it into his backyard.”
Clearlove kept his head down, saying nothing, just silently wiping his face nonstop with wet wipes.
Kuaisu Xing directly closed the tactical board in his hand.
Staring at the silent Scout…
Scout at this moment hung his head, clearly realizing the issue. His Ryze performance this game was indeed poor.
“Forget the first game. Now the issue is how to win the next one. We must adjust BP, can’t give Zitai such a comfortable assassin hero again. Ming Kai, you need to move, can’t let Sofm lead you by the nose anymore…” Kuaisu Xing knew since the manager played good cop, he had to play bad cop.
Nonstop blame would only make their already bad mentality worse.
Li Fan sat in the corner, purely eating melon.
After all, he wasn’t the one playing…
This was also his first time seeing onsite how the coach gives chicken soup.
At least after Kuaisu Xing said that, the lounge atmosphere improved a lot.
Clearlove even stood up, clapped to encourage everyone.
“This game is on me. Didn’t set the rhythm early. Next game we’ll definitely get revenge.”
Soon the second game officially begins.
Both teams’ players return to their seats.
Zitai looked toward EDG’s player bench, inwardly thinking it’s a pity.
Why is it still Scout? He’s really too weak.
But whatever, this game continue educating him.
EDG here directly bans LeBlanc, but lets Sofm’s Kha’Zix through.
EDG backstage.
Abu’s face full of gloom: “What’s up with Ming Kai? Is his mindset off?”
At five minutes, Kha’Zix strongly invades jungle. Clearlove’s Jarvan IV completely unprepared, uses skills on jungle monsters and gets caught on site for the kill.
This dreamy scene… made Snake Team fans excitedly stand up.
【4369? Clearlove’s playing so badly it’s oozing pus?】
【Hilarious, Sofm’s unreasonable invade is still strong!】
【No, what is Scout doing? Jungle invaded and no reaction at all?】
Clearlove’s face dark, clearly in a bad mood.
Sofm smug with a full smile. He’s very twisted; once he gets comfortable, he does very twisted things.
At 11 minutes 33 seconds, Kha’Zix directly ganks top.
He also knows Saint Gun Brother is the most normal among them.
For better cooperation to gank someone, go top lane.
The result didn’t disappoint him. Saint Gun Brother’s Poppy perfect combo directly keeps Camille down, Kha’Zix jumps in to claim another kill.
Then invades top half jungle, making Clearlove lose another jungle area.
At this point Clearlove realizes he’s a bit tilted.
Note that the top jungle has F6!
But getting tilted on red starts the panic, and more panic means worse play.
Completely led around by Kha’Zix.
This turns the game into Sofm’s one-sided solo carry.
In team fights, even triple jump for quadra kill!
Leads the team to take the game victory at twenty-nine minutes. EDG swept 2-0 by Snake Team!
Honestly, no one predicted this result pre-match.
Bullet comments explode, onsite EDG fans can’t sit still and start cursing…
In the post-match interview session, the official invites Zitai for interview.
Luo Xin smiles and asks: “LeBlanc got heavily nerfed this patch. We want to know why you picked LeBlanc, and chose Hextech Gunblade and Lich Bane build?”
Zitai frowns, quickly glances her up and down. “Actually, it was from a ranked game. I got burst by a LeBlanc with this build, so I looked it up. Turns out that LeBlanc player was EDG’s substitute mid laner Unreal. Since a pro player uses it so well, I then studied the viability of this build.”
“Result was it’s really viable, fits this patch’s LeBlanc perfectly…”
Luo Xin like discovering something huge: “So you’re saying your LeBlanc was learned from Unreal?”
“Yes.” Zitai pauses silently, squeezes out this word. He suddenly feels Luo Xin isn’t that hot anymore. What kind of questions are these?
Annoying person, infuriating.
“If there’s a chance, I still want to face Unreal on the arena.”
