Zhuo Xiaobai patted Chen Mu on the back, and the latter was sent jumping in shock. Chen Mu turned around to look at Zhuo Xiaobai, “What are you doing?”

“Chen Mu, oh, Chen Mu. I wasn’t expecting you to be of such standard! It must have been so hard on you to hide your true skills from me,” complained Zhuo Xiaobai to Chen Mu with an aggrieved look on his face.

“I never hid it from you. Am I that noob when I play with you normally?” Chen Mu responded.

“Uh…” After thinking about it, Zhuo Xiaobai realized that Chen Mu was rather amazing in normal matches. He never seemed to die much. However, those were just blind pick matches. Who would have expected him to perform so well in a tournament?

“I don’t care. You must boost me in our games next time. It seems like there’s hope for me to exceed a thousand ELO points after all, wahaha.” Zhuo Xiaobai indulged in his reverie.

At this time, the Chuzhou University students had already won their match, shook hands with their opponents, and were waiting for their next match. They were seated on a sofa not far away and were chit-chatting amongst themselves.

“A tournament of this standard is quite boring,” said a young man with a very long fringe.

“Liu Fei, you’re an elite from an Esports Club after all. Isn’t it normal for you to win in such amateur tournaments?” asked a bespectacled young man next to him.

“It’s all thanks to the serious training you guys went through. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have won so easily if everything was up to me,” the man named Liu Fei said humbly.

“You’re the only player among us who has two thousand and one hundred ELO points. I assume that there isn’t anyone here who has a higher amount of ELO points than you. The rest of us who only have a thousand and eight hundred ELO points can still win while lying down,” the man in spectacles said respectfully. After all, it was only apt for him to appease the tailcoat he had invited. A thousand bucks would be enough for the five of them to afford several meals.

The young man named Liu Fei felt quite pleased with the compliment. He was indeed quite proud of his ELO points. Ever since he enrolled at university, he started playing League of Legends; he had started playing the game the moment it came out. Other than attending classes and sleeping, he basically sat in front of his computer each day in an attempt to climb up the ranks. In merely two years, he played over three thousand ranked matches and was considered a pro player in Chuzhou University that was quite popular.

He had formed a team to participate in the tournament because he did not want to waste the skills he had honed over the past two years. Additionally, other than earning some greens, he could show off.

Chen Mu appeared on stage once again for his next match. What Shi Geng said turned out to be true. Other than the group of university students, everyone else was mediocre, and their teams for the tournament had probably been formed without much thought.

Chen Mu easily solo killed his opposing laner at least five times. Nothing memorable came out of the match where Chen Mu’s enemies surrendered after the twenty minutes mark.

“Eh, that mid laner from Petrification seems to be quite a good player. I noticed that his CS was timely in both matches. He had a CS of at least a hundred and ninety at twenty minutes. Could he be a pro player?” said the bespectacled man.

“Yep, he had immaculate CS scores and dealt damage rather consistently in both matches. Even though he’s up against noob opponents, he could very well be a player of at least two thousand ELO points based on his well-trained basic skills,” said Liu Fei as he stared at the big screen.

“So, what should we do? Are you confident that we will win?” asked Specs.

“Of course, but I guess I’ll have to use some of the skills I practiced beforehand. Later on, let me counter pick him. Let me deal with that mid laner,” said Liu Fei confidently. There were not many students from Chuzhou University who had the experience of playing more than three thousand matches. Additionally, Liu Fei joined plenty of streamed matches as well. There was no way he would be scared of such a brat.

The ‘Counter pick’ Liu Fei had mentioned could also be called targeted selection. There were many champions in League of Legends with traits that could counter another. For example, when using Pantheon against Duellist1, Pantheon could still suppress Duellist successfully even if he was five hundred points behind her. Advantages and disadvantages existed across each champion’s attributes and spells.

Many competing teams continued to be disqualified as Petrification and Godkiller, the team that ha been formed by the university students, swept over them. Many of them surrendered at the twenty minutes mark.
