Chapter 97
The Legend Cup is over.
But the ripples caused by this incident took a long time to calm down. The most obvious thing was that the popularity of LPL viewing began to gradually pick up.
In particular, the number of fans of the TES team has shown a skyrocketing trend in just a few days, and everyone is looking forward to Su Xing's first game as a professional player.
Soon, that day came.
"How is it? Today is your first time back on the court. Do you feel nervous?"
In the TES lounge backstage at the competition,
Su Xing was also chatting and laughing with other members of the TES team, including the original mid laner Xiaonaiwen.
At first, Xiao Cream was actually quite helpless.
After all, his starting mid laner was doing well when suddenly someone came and snatched his position away. However, Su Xing's performance in the subsequent training match also made him completely lose his temper.
One word, strong.
It's so strong that he has nothing to say. Now Xiao Naiyou has let go of his mentality. If he can't compete, he will just be a substitute and learn some skills. At worst, he can change teams next season.
Anyway, I'm still young, and being a substitute is no big deal.
"well enough."
Su Xing laughed dumbly and said, "It's unlikely that I'm nervous. I just feel a little emotional."
"It's okay, just kill as you please today."
Yu Wenbo chuckled and said, "You can play as you like in the league. We guys are all looking forward to the Petroleum Cup."
Because LPL made some changes in the summer season,
In addition to increasing the global BP, there are also some additional group matches. With TES's current strength, they can basically play these matches with their eyes closed. After all, the only two teams that have little chance of winning are perhaps BLG and JDG.
However, due to the group stage system, the three teams will basically have no chance to meet in the early stages. Even if they do meet, it will be in the competition after returning from the Oil Cup.
"Get ready to go up."
Just at this moment, the staff interrupted everyone's conversation and reminded them to prepare for the game.
"Go, go, go."
After a while, everyone came on stage one by one. Especially when the host introduced Su Xing, the audience cheered one after another.
"Take a deep breath and don't get too excited. The first game will depend on your performance."
While sitting in a chair, putting on headphones and adjusting his mouse and keyboard, Maokai placed his hand on Su Xing's shoulder and said, "Don't let the atmosphere on the scene affect your mentality."
"fine."
Su Xing rubbed his face. He was okay. He was indeed a little too excited when the audience shouted his name just now.
"I'm glad you're alright. Do I need to leave the last counter position for you in the BP later?"
Although Maokai let Su Xing play, he was also worried about his condition. This game was too important for Su Xing.
Su Xing thought for a moment and said, "Which mid laner did WE use in the first game?"
Their opponent today is Team WE.
Maokai:.
Didn’t he just analyze some of the heroes that fofo has been good at playing recently in the background? Didn’t Su Xing listen to him?
Even the four teammates couldn't help but glance at Su Xing, who said awkwardly, "I was thinking about other things just now. I didn't pay attention."
Maokai took a deep breath and said, "He used a cannon."
"Well, I'll use the plane then."
Su Xing touched his nose. During the training match, the mid laners of both teams basically used Corki to play against Tristana, and they kept coming and going without changing.
"Okay, let's take a plane."
Maokai nodded. He was not worried at all about Su Xing's hero pool.
Su Xing made an OK gesture, indicating that there was no need to worry at all.
"it is good."
Mao Kai patted Su Xing's shoulder and said, "When you choose Corki later, you must be careful that the opponent will target you."
As the game officially started, the TES team decisively locked on the hero, Corki.
There was an uproar at the scene. What did the TES team mean by this?
"Dear viewers, Team TES actually picked Corki first, but Tristana is still out there!"
"Logically speaking, I think the cannon is better. Why don't you take the cannon?"
"Let's be honest. Su Xing's plane has an explanation. There's nothing to worry about."
The three commentators at the commentary desk were also very curious. Between Corki and Tristana, TES chose Corki, which requires more development but is more powerful in the later stages.
When countless viewers in the online live broadcast room saw this plane, all kinds of discussions emerged. After all, the TES team is a well-known fun team. In addition to having many fans, there are also many haters.
"You think you're worthy enough to play with airplanes? Oh my god, you really think this is an old man's cup, how can you be so unreasonable"
"What does Su Xing want to do? Don't you have any idea whether you can play Corki in LPL?"
"It looks like he's going to take the blame. What the hell is going on with the TES team?"
"This one is over. It's fine if TES uses Revive, but it's not okay to just give him Tsar Taliyah. You don't think FOFO is one of those mid laners in the Old Man Cup, do you?"
"Still closing your eyes and pretending to be deep, damn"
After locking onto the hero, Su Xing closed his eyes and seemed to be resting, not noticing that the camera was facing him, but he didn't care at all.
The lineups for both teams have already been decided.
The TES team has Jayce on top, Jungle Lie, Corki in the middle, and Senna + Ornn in the bottom lane.
The top laner of WE team is Kennen, the jungler is Lee Sin, the mid laner is Tristana, and the bottom lane duo is Kaisa + Titan.
"come on."
Maokai patted Su Xing's shoulder again and wanted to say something, but the referee urged the coach to leave the field.
In the WE team, five people including the coach frowned. They didn't expect that Su Xing would use this kind of top-level big C hero in his first game.
"What do they want?"
Fofo looked at this airplane and felt a little uncomfortable. This person was using the hero he was best at to fight against him?
"Don't think about it now. You have to believe in yourself. You know Corki, so there's no need to worry." The WE team's coach patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let the jungler take care of them later. Their bottom lane is also a breakthrough point."
"Okay, I'll beat you into retirement!"
Fofo let out a long sigh of relief. Who was he looking down on? It was just the Old Man Cup champion. What was so great about that?
"Brother Su, do we need to take care of the middle lane in this game?"
Jungler Xiaotian asked, their system will definitely focus on Jayce in the top lane and then the mid lane.
"No need." Su Xing was very calm.
The game started normally in the jungle, with neither side showing much intention to invade. Standing in the grass by the river, Su Xing looked thoughtfully at the foggy vision ahead.
Forget it, I won’t look back.
Anyway, I already know that someone has taken precautions there, so I just need to ask them to pay attention to it later.
Less than three minutes into the laning phase, fofo had an indescribable feeling: this airplane's laning details were so strong!
At the same time, the three commentators also noticed the situation in the middle lane. Corki was ahead in last-hitting and also suppressed Tristana's health.
In three minutes, we gained an advantage in the laning phase?
As the director turned the camera to the middle, they began to perform.
"I have to say, Su Xing's plane is quite something. These three minutes of attention to detail actually gave them an advantage. Can you believe it?"
"But the problem now is that the jungler of TES is more inclined to the top lane and will not waste too much time in the middle lane, while the jungler of WE is already close to the middle lane. I don't know if this GANK can be successful."
As soon as the commentator's voice fell, they could see in the game that Su Xing's plane moved back a little. Immediately, the three commentators looked at each other. Was this a coincidence or did they realize something?
"Their jungler is in the middle." Su Xing marked the bushes on the left side of the river.
"So fast?" Xiaotian frowned. The jungler on the opposite side was Lee Sin, and his jungle clearing efficiency was indeed a little faster than his, but he was not willing to go over.
Because no matter whether it is the awakened Corki or Sejuani, it is difficult to kill them before level 6.
"Don't worry about it, just go ahead and farm your game." Su Xing said calmly. Since they knew where the jungler was, there would be no big problem.
“Is there a view here?”
The jungler squatting in the bush frowned. He wanted to come first and open up the situation in the middle lane, but he felt like he had been discovered.
"Impossible, he didn't even look at it." Fofo swore.
"Then wait another ten seconds."
In this way, from the perspective of the commentator and the audience, WE team's Lee Sin squatted on the side for more than ten seconds and still did not find any opportunity.
"Isn't Su Xing's awareness too strong? From the footage just now, we can actually see that the moment Lee Sin reached the river, Su Xing chose to retreat."
"This may become a foreshadowing. It is actually a terrible thing for a blind monk to waste ten seconds in the early stage."
"Look, as soon as the blind monk left, the awakened Corki seemed to know it and directly crossed the line of soldiers to suppress the health again. If it weren't for the God's perspective, I would think he definitely had vision."
The commentator found it incredible, and Maokai in the lounge couldn't help but gleam in his eyes when he saw this scene. This guy is really strong, and his performance is exactly the same as in the training game!
Other people may not be able to see much about details, but for a coach of a professional team, all he sees are details!
Flawless laning ability, incredible awareness, this... Su Xing felt that he could not play like this at his peak!
Xiaoyoufang, who was sitting behind him, suddenly felt a little thirsty. Even he had to admit that this Corki was too strong. How did he realize that the jungler was approaching?
"Didn't you say there is no vision?" The jungler almost vomited blood. He was very obedient when he was there, but less than two seconds after he left, Su Xing started to cross the line of soldiers and suppress him.
"It's really impossible for there to be a ward. Could it be that their jungler placed it there?" Fofo was also having a headache.
"I'll go upgrade first."
Without the interference of the jungler, Su Xing began to become extremely aggressive, and Fofo, who was laning against him, became very uncomfortable. The operating details of the airplane in front of him were too strong, and he could not find any chance to fight back at all.
As time went by, Su Xing, who was in the leading position, was the first to reach level six.
Seeing this, Fofo immediately chose to retreat, because his health had been suppressed very low, and Su Xing was the first to reach level six and was qualified to kill him.
"Wait for the troops to come in."
However, at this moment, the plane in front of him flashed directly across the line of troops!
Fofo also flashed with the same instinctive reaction, because he knew very well that Su Xing wanted to flash to close the distance with him, and then use the E skill to start shooting and dealing damage.
"How could he predict my flash position!?" The next moment fofo's eyes widened. How did Su Xing predict it?
But Su Xing didn't give him more chances. He controlled the plane to instantly get close to fofo's Caitlyn. With a perfect set of skills, he connected the Caitlyn with full damage and killed her in front of her own defense tower.
【First Blood】!
When this loud announcement sounded, the director quickly moved the camera to the middle lane, but only saw the almost full-blooded Corki slowly walking out after resisting the defense tower.
The camera just captured Su Xing's indifferent expression and Fofo's incredible look, forming a strong contrast.
The three hosts were stunned, as were the two team coaches and substitutes in the lounge. The audience was completely silent, and the huge venue seemed a little quiet at this moment.
The director was very tactful at this time and started to replay the kill footage just now. The whole process took only three seconds. When the audience saw Su Xing's predicted W skill, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Wow, what did I see? What kind of magical operation is this? This plane has awakened."
The three commentators were all extremely excited. Just from the kill just now, it could be seen that this was the strength that a true top mid laner should have!
In the TES team lounge, when Maokai saw this kill, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his face full of excitement.
That’s it, the awakening of the past is back!
No, not only did he come back, he became even stronger!
The most important thing for a professional player is confidence!
Xiaoyouyou behind him felt a little dry inexplicably after seeing this kill, so he walked to the water dispenser next to him, got a glass of water, and drank it gulp by gulp.
After killing Caitlyn in the game, Su Xing suddenly became alert.
somebody is coming!
He must have just cleared a group of wild monsters with only two-thirds of his health left. The moment he walked out of the bush, he flashed with the W skill and used the eye to close the distance.
With this operation, the distance to the plane was very close, and Su Xing did not hesitate. He moved the position of the military line while maintaining output.
Lee Sin also anticipated this and did not use his Q skill first but his E skill [Thunder Break/Broken Bones].
The plane controlled by Su Xing was immediately slowed down because of this skill.
"Die to me!"
A gleam of light flashed in the jungler's eyes, and then he raised his hand and used the Q skill [Sound Wave/Echo Strike]!
As long as he could hit the target and combine it with the damage of the second stage of Q and the red buff, he would definitely be able to take down the awakened Corki. Everyone thought so at this moment.
"What a pity that Lee Sin caught this opportunity. Actually, it's not a loss. It's a one-for-one trade and I also got a flash from the jungler."
"It's a bit of a shame, but it doesn't matter. Once a hero like Corki gains an advantage in the lane, it will radiate to other lanes."
"Yes, next it will depend on whether TES's jungler will shift his focus slightly to the middle lane. With Corki getting the kill, he will definitely be targeted endlessly."
The three commentators kept talking, almost declaring that Su Xing's plane would inevitably be destroyed, but the next moment the three people's voices stopped abruptly.
The distance between Corki and Lee Sin in the game is no more than 150 yards, but even at this distance, Lee Sin's Q skill missed!
To be exact, it wasn't that he missed, but Su Xing dodged it with an extreme move that looked ridiculous! ! ?
"you are dead!"
Su Xing saw that the blind monk's Q skill had missed, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Three seconds later, the low-health Corki stepped over Lee Sin's body, and a loud announcement sounded in Summoner's Rift.
【Double Kill! 】
The three commentators looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. There was even a faint burning sensation on my face.
"Awesome!"
The Pig Girl, who arrived late, could only use two words to describe the shock in her heart when she saw this scene.
