Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Parachuting Into Mid Lane
“`
Chen Yu didn’t care about much, and the moment the match’s alert sounded, his fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard.
He was taking over for Mao Xiaolong in the middle position.
Right off the bat, he concealed himself in a nearby blind spot.
This method of play was one of Mao Xiaolong’s best.
Instead of facing the enemy directly, nor appearing in the viewers’ sight immediately, he chose to hide himself away.
After thoroughly reviewing all of Mao Xiaolong’s materials, Chen Yu immediately mastered this tactic.
Based on his usual style of play, he predicted a route Mao Xiaolong was very likely to take and hid himself there.
Sure enough, Mao Xiaolong moved at top speed through this area to roam towards the top lane.
His goal was to kill as many enemy heads as possible within the first three minutes of the game, to establish an advantage for his solo lane teammate.
Chen Yu certainly didn’t indulge the opponent, and the moment he appeared, he burst out of the bushes with a combination of moves that left the enemy half-crippled.
Mao Xiaolong was taken aback, unable to believe that his preferred style of combat had been so thoroughly read by someone, and countered with such a perfect response.
His fingers raced across the keyboard, trying to dodge Chen Yu’s pursuit and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
But the character controlled by Chen Yu seemed to not belong to the game at all, performing many unexpected actions.
No matter how Mao Xiaolong tried to dodge, he couldn’t escape Chen Yu’s combo.
And the skills he launched were dodged by Chen Yu at an incredibly strange angle.
In less than thirty seconds, Mao Xiaolong had lost the first head of the game.
Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. It was his first time playing eSports in such an intense manner.
Many combos and maneuvers weren’t very familiar to him, and given time to practice, perhaps he would need only ten seconds to take down the opponent.
Without lingering there, Chen Yu rushed to the top lane to collaborate with his own top laner to kill the enemy top laner.
The pace of the game was suddenly picked up by Chen Yu.
The live audience was shocked. What they had been looking forward to was Mao Xiaolong’s surprise attacks.
But now, not only were his attacks being tightly constrained, but he was being killed in return.
Mao Xiaolong took a few deep breaths, filled with disbelief. Once he respawned, he immediately went around through the jungle area.
He wanted to find and kill Chen Yu for revenge.
Just as he was searching, there was trouble in the bottom lane.
Their adc and support were suddenly ambushed and killed by Chen Yu during the laning phase.
Mao Xiaolong panicked, his rhythm constantly disrupted by Chen Yu, and he knew he must find a way to break the cycle.
After taking a moment to adjust his breathing, he changed direction and headed straight for the top lane.
He wanted to capitalize on the gap Chen Yu left in the bottom lane to help turn the tide for his top laner.
But by the time he got there, it was too late.
His team’s top laner had been decimated by the enemy.
Having secured several kills in a row, Chen Yu instantly became the brightest star in the arena, and those who were rooting for Mao Xiaolong began to switch their support to Chen Yu.
Some even started inquiring about Chen Yu’s personal information, wanting to make a fan support sign for him on the spot.
And just as the crowd was boiling with support, Chen Yu suddenly rallied his team, charging down the mid lane.
They pushed all the way to the enemy high ground, and wiped out the opposing team.
The situation was now dominated, only the entrance of a player on par with Chen Yu could possibly turn the game around.
But it was all too late, as by the six-minute mark, Chen Yu led his team to destroy the opponent’s Nexus.

“My God, the new guy is so impressive, I’ve never heard of him before in the gaming circle. Is he a new player?”
“He beat Mao Xiaolong in less than six minutes, it’s miraculous!”
