Chapter 227 He couldn’t figure out how these accounts were calculated! (1/2)
Kim Sung-hyun withered the moment he saw Wei Xiao take the shadow thief.
He didn’t need to think about it anymore; he wouldn’t be able to see his own team’s support for the entire game.
Proud Flower Kim thought back to three years ago and the fear he’d felt when he’d been under Captain Yan’s control.
They were both supports, both captains, and both his seniors, but the gap between Yan Jiang and Li Heran was as high as Mt. Han!
Getting accustomed to Li Heran’s gentle care, then falling into Yan Jiang’s hands again was enough to make Kim Sung-hyun forget how to play.
He tentatively locked in the storm hunter, very conscious that he would be looking after himself.
The remaining lucky player in Group B, Little Fatty, spoke up cautiously, “What should I use?”
Wei Xiao: “What are you good at?”
Little Fatty: “……”
Wei Xiao: “Hm?”
How would Little Fatty dare to say that the talent he was best with was the shadow thief!
Even if he had a provincial level shadow thief, even if he was honored as a jungler king amongst normal players, even if his shadow thief was enough for him to carry girls and win, would he dare to say such things here?!
Saying that he was good at the shadow thief in front of FTW’s inheritor of the shadow thief?
If he said this, Little Fatty would end up nailed to the pillar of shame as soon as Glory’s Mic Explosion King released the voice chats!
His brain shifted gears 18 times, and he said politely, “Fire mage.”
It was an entry level hero in Glory. It was easy to get started with and was loved by the girls.
Wei Xiao: “Cute.”
He was thinking of the jumping and bouncing Lulu fire mage, but how could Little Fatty know that? He was flattered, so much so that he couldn’t even hold the keyboard!
The corner of Kim Sung-hyun’s mouth twitched. Be a little more self-aware, hey, you’re someone’s boyfriend!
Yan Jiang took the soul warlock.
Needless to say, this move of his instantly attracted Wei Xiao’s attention. “Is Captain Yan serious!”
Yan Jiang: “……”
Wei Xiao: “Are you following me? Do you know how to play the shadow thief?”
Gary interjected, “The death knight combo is simpler. Captain Yan, follow me!”
This lame Chinese with a Northerner accent could really come from no one else.
Yan Jiang: “Just playing around.”
Wei Xiao: “That’s alright, using the soul warlock is great. If you really can’t, then just attach to the fire mage and play a mid-laner.”
Yan Jiang: “Mm.”
Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”
To hell with your ‘mm’. The little children might not know, but how could he not know?!
Was there any talent that Yan Jiang couldn’t play?!
Or, in other words, was there any talent in Glory that Yan Jiang hadn’t studied extensively?
Although the soul warlock was a new talent, the essence of this talent was to make use of other talents’ skills.
For Yan Jiang, this didn’t require any adapting at all. He could use them all directly.
During their days in the Team of Gods, Yan Jiang had never signed up for the single and doubles competitions, but it wasn’t because he couldn’t play.
It had been because he was too lazy to play!
Kim Sung-hyun inexplicably felt a little lucky.
This was good; luckily, he wasn’t in Group A. Otherwise, he would have been killed off by this support-jungler pair.
It was also good that Lu Feng was playing jungler in Group A. At least Little Lunatic Wei would hold back a bit.
After that, he entered the game matching screen and saw the other side’s line-up as well as the common skills they were carrying (the casual player competition used the blind talent selection mode).
Wei Xiao: “???”
Old G: “???”
Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”
The other side also had a death knight and a shadow thief, but the one with the jungler skill was the death knight, while the shadow thief had taken the hunting skill.
Yuan Ze was the death knight, and Lu Feng was the shadow thief.
Old G was stunned. “What’s this situation? My captain is playing jungler?”
Wei Xiao exploded, “Old G, did you do this on purpose?!”
Gary: “???”
What did I do on purpose?
Wei Xiao: “You deliberately tricked me into playing jungler! You purposely lured the tiger away from the mountain! You took advantage of the opportunity and stole into other people’s homes!”
Based on Old G’s Chinese level, it was a little difficult for Old G to understand these words.
Wei Xiao then questioned him again in English, “You must have discussed it with your captain beforehand. Tricking my captain to go to the top lane, while you also play top-laner, so that you two can solo without a care for anyone else!”
Gary instantly cried out at this injustice, “I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense!”
Wei Xiao: “Then why is Marshal playing jungler?”
He deliberately used Yuan Ze’s ID. Firstly, there was a lucky player present, and he might scare him if he called Yuan Ze ‘Old Bandit Yuan.’ Another reason was just for emphasis.
Marshal had once said, “Laozi only loves playing top-lane in this life and will only play top-lane. I’d rather retire than play any other position.”
He hadn’t retired yet, but Marshal had ‘changed his mind’!
If Wei Xiao hadn’t been convinced about Yuan Ze’s bad habit, then he wouldn’t have given up his top-lane position to Gary.
As everyone knew, the top-laner position was the solo position in a 5v5 game.
If it wasn’t a special situation, then generally, it would end up with two people hanging out in the top lane. Wei Xiao kept sighing over how he couldn’t be together with his captain. This time, they were really staggered apart; it made him even more angry!
Poor Old G. He had probably never considered that his captain would break his own oath like this.
Group A had originally been very strong. They had three solo kings and could suppress the other side by playing casually.
Now…
Forget it. Captain Lu and God Xie might not be able to carry the team!
Wei Xiao scolded Old G to his face, and Old G couldn’t do anything about it––when it came to this, he was the one who was getting the better end of the deal.
Although he wasn’t facing off with Yuan Ze in his lane, being able to play against Close was an even happier situation.
He’d lost in the singles, and it was time to get even in the 5v5 game.
Old G coaxed Wei Xiao, “It’s all right, you can come provide support for the top lane more often.”
Wei Xiao grew even angrier. “I’m supposed to go to the top lane and help you beat up my captain?”
Gary: “Cough……”
Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely kill your captain.”
Gary: “…………”
He couldn’t figure out how these accounts were calculated!
After entering the game, Wei Xiao’s murderous aura was surging, and the speed at which he cleared the jungle was really shocking.
The director gave a shot of the whole game, providing a panoramic view of the entire canyon.
In Group B, Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang had their own tacit understanding. They flew through the jungle creeps, and finished clearing half the jungle zone within moments, then turned to go to the bottom jungle zone.
Group A was a different style altogether. Yuan Ze huffed and puffed as he killed off his red buff, and after killing it off with much difficulty, he took a detour before going to kill the stone man. This navigation alone made people unable to bear looking at it directly!
Seriously speaking, there wasn’t much that a professional player couldn’t play.
Although they had strong tendencies, for example, ADC’s generally wouldn’t play mid-laner mages, and mid-lane mages generally wouldn’t try to play ADC.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t play those talents, but that the way they thought about the game was different. One required them to support the lanes on both sides, while the other needed to do whatever they could to survive and develop. There was a big difference in game consciousness, which wasn’t a big deal in a casual game, but this kind of thing grew into a big gap when it came to professional competitions.
