Chapter 94: Where’s Everyone? Where Did They Go?
After about a minute or so, Doinb left the player station under the referee’s urging.
The others from QG finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed toward the lounge like they were escaping.
Staying at the player station is just like being a clown.
Mainly because they lost the match…
If losing the match is embarrassing, then just hurry up and leave, why sit there.
The others felt a bit dissatisfied inside, but now Doinb is the big brother in the team, so they didn’t dare to resist.
Doinb kept his head down, his face as gloomy as if water could drip from it, completely different from his cheerful demeanor in front of the camera before the match.
This development was completely different from what he had imagined.
The first match shouldn’t have been like this!
Why is Unreal’s Syndra’s lane dominance so exaggerated?
Why!
Besides being targeted, it had a lot to do with him relaxing his vigilance.
If he had been a bit more careful and serious, it absolutely wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Doinb’s self-hypnosis ability is still very strong.
In just this short time, he had almost walked out of the defeat.
He really has a very big heart; on this point, the vast majority of LPL players can’t compare to him.
After a brief rest time, both teams’ players took the stage again.
For the second match after the side swap, EDG came to Blue Side.
As the BP phase began, the camera cut to EDG’s player station, where coach Kuaisu Xing was standing behind the players exchanging ideas.
From their facial expressions, it was clear that because of winning the first match, everyone had little pressure, and their emotions were very good.
They even had smiles on their faces when picking heroes.
This made the audience feel like show effect might be coming.
Sure enough, the moment the first pick locked LeBlanc, the whole arena boiled over.
The on-site audience shouted “teaching match! teaching match!” with waves of cheers higher than the last, almost flipping the entire venue.
“Locked! Really locked LeBlanc! EDG first pick instantly locks LeBlanc!” Ji De’s voice was filled with disbelief, but you could also hear the excitement in it, because everyone knew this match would be good to watch.
“Unreal! Is this… a teaching match?” Guan Zeyuan saw through it and said it outright.
“Red Side used Syndra to burst your LeBlanc, now back on Blue Side, I directly snatch LeBlanc! That’s confidence, that’s Unreal’s response!” Guan Zeyuan’s tone suddenly rose.
The bullet comments in the official live stream room instantly exploded, densely covering the entire screen:
【Holy crap! Wild! Too wild! Unreal really doesn’t give any face, you ban LeBlanc and I’ll take it.】
【Real teaching match is here, on-site haters, does your face hurt? Too bad I didn’t snag a ticket, otherwise it would be so fun.】
【I heard you’re very confident playing LeBlanc, Doinb. Unreal: Let me teach you how to play!】
【Killing the man and his heart! Win the match and still go for the heart! I love EDG’s this BP! I like this player Unreal even more.】
【Doinb’s face is green, camera quick close-up!】
【Unreal is super pissed today, treating QG like bots!】
【Very normal, on-site haters went offline blocking the door taunting, Unreal definitely needs to vent some fire.】
【Does Doinb have the guts to directly pick Syndra? Unreal playing like this doesn’t treat him as a person at all, he should prove himself.】
【Don’t, aren’t you asking for his life? The last one who wanted to prove himself ended up miserable, got taught front and back and banned for half a year.】
……
The fiery on-site atmosphere faintly transmitted into the players’ ears through their headphones.
Even though the match headphones were very high-quality noise-canceling ones.
But the screams and cheers from the on-site audience could still be heard somewhat.
This has led to many famous scenes that seemed like spoilers.
Of course, this was because the official went crazy and set the delay to only ten seconds for a more exciting match…
Later they discovered the issue and adjusted it to thirty seconds, so no more suspected spoiler situations occurred.
“Tsk tsk tsk, picking this LeBlanc made the on-site audience explode, show effect has indeed come.” Clearlove couldn’t help but tease.
Ming Kai’s personality is like this; with unfamiliar people, he keeps a black face, feeling hard to approach and get along with.
But once familiar, you’ll find he’s a quiet flirt and funny guy.
Li Fan’s expression remained calm.
“I don’t have any bad intentions, just that LeBlanc is free on the enemy side and I think it’s fine to play with, absolutely not thinking about teaching.”
Li Fan started saying hard-to-understand words, and the player station was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, QG’s player station side, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
The moment Doinb saw LeBlanc locked, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his hand on the mouse unconsciously gripped tight.
His breathing clearly became heavier, with an unnamed fire surging in his chest.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his mood, but his slightly trembling corners of the mouth still exposed the turmoil in his heart.
He got super taunted by the enemy, but for LeBlanc this hero, banning it would be a bit too wasteful of a ban slot, completely unnecessary.
Should’ve just banned it earlier.
Unreal this guy’s personality has always been very nasty.
Always thinking about teaching others, really considers himself a teacher.
A strong impulse surged to his throat: Take Syndra! Give me Syndra!
Just as these words were about to slip out, he forcibly held them back.
The LeBlanc who got stunned by Scattered Flowers under the tower and instantly killed, the LeBlanc who was completely useless and sleepwalking the whole game, the scene clearly floated in front of his eyes.
This hero really isn’t suitable for him either.
If he wants to teach, let him teach; avoid his edge, pick a safer hero that’s not prone to problems.
If LeBlanc doesn’t get an advantage in the early to mid game, it doesn’t have much impact.
So there are still many ways to win the match, no need to compete for supremacy.
Playing the game still requires using your brain, can’t bring emotions into it.
Otherwise, you’ll be seized by the opponent and toyed with in the palm of their hand.
It’s not that he’s afraid to take Syndra and then get taught a classic teaching match by the enemy.
The coach asked at this time: “This game, how about we play steady and take Viktor? Develop up and fight team fights in the late game, we win them in team fights.”
Doinb’s previously clenched fist loosened a bit, and he replied to the coach: “…Yeah, Viktor then, Viktor is good.”
At this moment, he chose to compromise, compromising with the possible crushing defeat that might appear again.
Rather than risking ruin and infamy to gamble on one breath, better to choose a steadier, more stabilizing hero.
Viktor has long hands, fast wave clear, not easy to die, at least LeBlanc can’t do much to him; in mid to late game team fights, get explosive output, win the match, no big meaning in winning lane.
As a professional player, still need to win the match.
“QG on Red Side second pick locks down Machine Herald Viktor! Doinb chooses a more development-oriented mage this game!” Su Xiao Yan said.
Guan Zeyuan’s commentary voice rang out, with a hint of understanding: “This choice is very clear, giving up early lane priority contention, steady development, waiting for the team fight period when equipment is formed.”
Ji De followed up: “The idea is good; once Viktor’s wave clear is up, it can indeed limit LeBlanc’s roam to a large extent, but the premise is… can hold steady early! Facing Unreal’s LeBlanc and Clearlove’s highly aggressive Rek’Sai this game, Viktor’s defensive pressure in the first few levels will be very high!”
EDG’s this mid-jungle combo, as long as they have advantage, they will definitely dive and kill, that’s for sure.
Just as the commentators predicted, right from the start of the game, Li Fan’s LeBlanc showed extremely strong dominance.
He wasn’t eager to trade aggressively at level 1, but precisely used auto-attacks and occasional Q skill interference on Viktor’s last hits, firmly controlling mid lane’s initiative.
Doinb’s Viktor played abnormally carefully, almost hiding behind the minion wave, only using Q skill for last hits, preferring to miss than easily step forward.
However, absolute turtling doesn’t bring absolute safety, especially when EDG’s mid-jungle is determined to tear open a breakthrough.
Clearlove’s Rek’Sai starting path was clear: solo red start, then directly farm up to the top half jungle.
This path signaled to QG that Excavator might gank top at level 3.
But Clearlove played a trick; after finishing blue buff and big frog to reach level 3, instead of going top as QG expected, he crossed the river, stealthily entered QG’s jungle, using vision blind spot, ambushing in the shadows behind Mid Lane Tower 1.
“Clearlove this position… Doinb completely unaware, he thinks Excavator is top, positioned a bit forward to last hit with E skill!” Ji De’s voice suddenly tensed.
The instant Viktor raised his hand to cast E skill, LeBlanc and Excavator moved at the same time.
Rek’Sai tunneled directly from behind the wall, Flash Knock-up!
“Excavator is here!” Doinb’s heart startled.
But he got knocked up here, and as he landed, he wanted to Flash away.
But Li Fan’s LeBlanc was faster; W active instantly stepped forward, Phantom Chain fired without pause, precisely chaining Viktor.
Control chain perfectly connected; although Doinb had already pressed Flash, LeBlanc’s chain second stage effect triggered, pinning him in place!
LeBlanc and Excavator damage poured out wildly.
Viktor’s frail body couldn’t withstand it.
First Blood!
The system prompt sound crisply echoed through the arena! Trickster LeBlanc got this game’s first blood!
“Tower dive and kill! At three and a half minutes, EDG mid-jungle directly tower dived and killed Doinb’s Viktor!”
Li Fan directly got this game’s 400 gold startup fund.
【Holy crap! Three and a half minutes tower dive!】
【See the gap between last game’s LeBlanc and this game’s?】
【Doinb: Wasn’t Viktor supposed to be steady?】
【Exploded exploded, Viktor dies once early, what the hell to play?】
【But Clearlove’s Excavator is still ruthless, this backdoor was godlike!】
【As a jungler player, I can responsibly tell everyone Clearlove’s current state is having a big dad; go mid and it happens, too comfortable.】
The moment LeBlanc successfully got first blood, surprisingly some people wearing hater clothes on-site silently took off their clothes, revealing EDG team jerseys underneath.
Some who felt something off had quietly stood up from their seats, seemingly going to the bathroom, actually leaving the venue.
Felt like staying here twenty minutes later would become a joke.
This three and a half minute tower dive and kill was like a heavy hammer, not only shattering Doinb’s steady illusion, but thoroughly shaking QG’s already low morale.
The mid lane gap has been completely torn open!
The match’s rhythm completely fell into EDG’s control.
Clearlove, relying on mid’s absolute lane priority, recklessly invaded Clid’s jungle, seizing vision, controlling map resources.
The first little dragon was easily taken by EDG.
But worth mentioning, although Clid’s jungle was heavily impacted, his development was still very good.
Main reason was that once mid died, he went to wave clear immediately.
This way, the jungler not only wasn’t affected by the jungle, but developed very well, completely matching Gragas’s chubby body.
The live stream room was already frantically spamming.
【Laughing to death, how does this Gragas have more last hits than mid?】
【Doinb has no time as he’s dying, Clid really can’t eat but still eats.】
【But what’s the use of Gragas eating so much? Viktor collapsed, no meaning anymore.】
Just as the bullet comments said, Clid’s Gragas equipment was indeed good, but its positive impact on the whole game was minimal, unable to help teammates relieve pressure or stop EDG from snowballing bigger.
Twelfth minute.
Clid’s Gragas tried to enter his own top half jungle to farm F6, supplementing key equipment.
He thought this time point was still safe, unaware his every move was clearly seen by EDG’s vision setup.
Clearlove and Li Fan almost simultaneously marked.
When Clid’s Gragas waddled forward with Explosive Cask toward F6, waiting for him was thunderous impact!
Excavator and LeBlanc swarmed up; with superior explosive development, although Clid’s Gragas had thrown his ultimate, when LeBlanc’s Q triggered passive, Gragas’s seemingly chubby body was like paper in front of LeBlanc’s exaggerated magic burst, health bar instantly evaporated!
Gragas’s instant death was like the last straw breaking the camel’s back; EDG easily took down three outer towers, successfully pulling the economy to seven thousand.
QG’s team voice was dead silent…
The rest of the match completely entered garbage time.
Purely entered farming KDA phase.
Li Fan’s LeBlanc was elusive on the arena; though burst delayed by 1.5 seconds, whenever it came out, it was a head.
QG crumbled instantly in team fights, routed like mountains collapsing.
Finally, the match time froze at 20:01; EDG with over ten thousand economy advantage one-waved QG’s base crystal, easily taking the second match victory.
In the arena, “EDG! Unreal!” cheers were deafening.
Yu Luo excitedly stood up from his seat roaring along; Unreal didn’t disappoint everyone at all, crushing Doinb with two extremely eye-catching performances, smashing QG!
Refreshing!
Really too refreshing.
So this is the feeling of being taunted early and slapping back later to regain face!
You haters still calling or not!
Turned his head to look at the original hater positions.
“Haters… speak up??!” Yu Luo scratched his head.
“Where are the people? Where did they go?”
