The training match was in the afternoon. As they neared the afternoon, everyone queued for a match to warm up.
Wei Xiao was also eager and wanted to try, but he was only here to watch the match and could only stare on with wide eyes.
Tang Chen dutifully put his poor acting skills to use again, “Ouch…” He glanced at Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao received the message and helped him curse, “That spicy chicken newcomer!”
Tang Chen continued to look at him, “Ouch, ow…”
Wei Xiao continued to help him scold the guy, “He’s a lazy bastard that doesn’t even come for training matches!”
Tang Chen was having difficulty continuing the act, “O
Chen Feng couldn’t watch on anymore. Could that even be called acting?
This was called an uncouth show!
He glanced at Tang Chen, “Are you constipated?”
Tang Chen: “???”
Chen Feng: “If your neck isn’t broken, then just deal with it.”
Tang Chen looked at Wei Xiao again. He was practically about to start crying.
Wei Xiao couldn’t help himself and started, “How about…”
Everyone looked at him abruptly, their gazes all pinned on the same thing.
Except for Lu Feng––he was debugging his keyboard, his long fingers tapping lightly on the keys.

Wei Xiao: “I’ll go find a backrest for God Tang?”
Everyone in the training room: “………………”
Tang Chen: “F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “Ah?”
Tang Chen hurriedly added, “I mean, thank you! But there’s no need. I’m fine, I can do it, it’s really no problem.”
Looking at this forced smile and listening to the grievance in his voice…
Heartache!
Those who knew the truth and those who didn’t all felt heartache and distress!
God Tang acknowledged one thing. He was only suited to playing games in this life. As for acting and so on, he should leave it to the professionals!

When the time came, L&P built a custom room and invited FTW.
Wei Xiao sat beside Chen Feng and watched the projection from a center seat.
Both teams entered the room, and Wei Xiao saw L&P’s line up.
As the runner ups for last year’s championship, L&P was a powerful team with a well-deserved reputation.
The five members of the team were all celebrities on the world’s personal ranking list.
Gary was L&P’s strongest player, but he wasn’t L&P’s team captain.
It was funny. As a North American team, the captain of L&P was a Chinese person––
Yuan Ze.
He was once the most invincible top-lane in FTW, guarding the canyon with a double-handed sword. If he guarded the pass, 10,000 troops still wouldn’t be enough to get through––Marshal!

He was also the senior who’d taken care of Close the most, brought him into Glory, won the world cup with him, and then left him at the peak of their glory.
The next year, Yuan Ze debuted as a L&P player and sent his old employer FTW into a round trip for the finals.
It was also in that year that he gave up his position in the singles competition when he learned that Lu Feng was participating and never signed up for the singles competition ever again.
As the singles participant for L&P, Gary fell beneath Lu Feng’s blade again and again.
However, FTW couldn’t win against L&P.
Lu Feng also didn’t have a chance to win against Yuan Ze.
This kindness, gratitude, grievance, and resentment was something that everyone in Glory knew. Wei Xiao was even able to recite it all from memory.
He looked at the IDs and frowned, “Yuan Ze isn’t playing?”
Chen Feng sneered, “Not sending up their second team is already considered as showing respect for us.”

Wei Xiao: “……”
He might be angry, but the gap between FTW and L&P was really quite significant. Even if they really arranged for their second team to play, it would still be hard to say if FTW would win or not.
On the L&P side, everyone other than their top-lane was from their starting line-up. Especially when it came to Gary, he immediately became excited when he saw Lu Feng and typed crazily in his crippled Chinese, “Close, wait for me to explode you!”
Lu Feng ignored him.
Old G amused himself, “Ten, I’m going to explode you ten times!”
Chen Feng was really disdainful, “Has Gary changed Chinese teachers? He now sounds like a non-mainstream speaker rather than a northerner?”
Wei Xiao: “It’s not non-mainstream.”
Chen Feng: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao: “Think about it, think carefully, this is clearly a blind imitation.”

“………………”
Looking at this Wei Xiaoxiao who was so clear on how to kill culture, Chen Feng was very worried!
Because it was a user-defined battle, the two teams soon entered the BP interface.
The so-called BP, was also an important part of a MOBA game.
Glory had 11 heroes and over 100 talents. Players had a myriad of choices and countless strategies available to them.
BP was the abbreviation of Ban and Pick. The former meant to disallow a hero from the match, and the latter was where heroes were selected. As the name suggested, the BP stage was a stage where heroes were disabled and chosen.
Although they hadn’t yet officially entered the canyon, the sparks of warfare were already ignited.
Banning was a whole area of study, and choosing heroes was an even bigger school of study.
If banning was used well, they could restrain the other side during their lineup setup. If successful, then one would have already won half the game.

If they didn’t use such tactics for a MOBA game, then they weren’t even qualified to play the game.
Wei Xiao stared at the projection, his heart cold.
L&P played really dirty. They had six ban spots, and they were all allocated to Close. Almost all of the heroes Lu Feng was most powerful with were banned.
Lu Feng’s hero pool was very deep. As a champion of the singles competition, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t use.
However, being able to use it didn’t mean it could just be used like that.
The hero lineup, restraint, and what was strong in the current version all needed to be considered in 5v5 matches…
In short, there were too many variables to consider. This was why there were so many usable jungler heroes.
Even if Lu Feng could use other heroes after his core heroes were banned, it still meant that FTW’s core line up had been infinitely compressed.
L&P’s BP setup had really attacked FTW.
