It's Too Hard For Me to Keep My Identity a Secret [Esports]

Q: Are female players naturally inferior to male players?Gu Yuehshuang: Thanks for the invitation, as a female professional player, I'll speak from experience. I haven't yet found a male pl...

Chapter 25 Quiet

Before the game started, all five POG players were already seated and starting to debug.

Today is the FJ team's theme day, and they are having a fancy opening performance. It will take a few minutes before you can enter the room.

Gu Yang pinched the shoulders of each player and encouraged them, "Don't be nervous. Beating them will be easier than Team 3W."

Xu Qing smiled: "You might be the only one on the entire internet who feels this way."

"That's not necessarily true." Gu Yang was confident as he paced slowly behind them. "We've played a lot of scrimmages with them, so you know their style. Besides, their drafting strategies are much easier to predict than Team 3W's."

Gu Yueshuang held onto her headphones and said, "Come on, don't you always start researching strong teams a few months in advance?"

These strong teams have large traffic and their information is easy to find. Fans have sorted out and put together things like rank live broadcast videos and OB (LOL spectator mode), which the players themselves may not even remember, making it very convenient to study.

On the contrary, those teams at the lower end of the rankings have few fans, and it is always difficult to find replays of their live broadcasts because no one watches them and few people follow them. They can only be observed and studied through game videos, which makes them relatively difficult to target.

If Gu Yang is well prepared, he will be very confident. If he is not well prepared, he will start to feel anxious - after all, his teammates have a limited hero pool and their response methods are not so flexible.

We can only rely on the players' hard power and on-the-spot performance.

Today is different—this team’s information is so detailed.

Gu Yang: "The FJ team's mentality is not good. As long as you put enough pressure on them, they will lose their composure. So you must be proactive in the early stages."

Gu Yueshuang looked left and right, shaking her head, and asked, "Can they hear it over there? The noise reduction effect of this headset doesn't seem to be that good... The audience's voice can be heard through my teammates' microphones."

Xu Qing: "I think he can't hear it... Otherwise, wouldn't he be able to hear our voices?"

Gu Yueshuang: "That's different. The noise in the game is louder after the game starts."

Zhou Yao: "Besides, their team loves to shout. During team fights, the players are practically deafened. How can they hear what the other team is saying?"

Gu Yueshuang suggested a dirty trick: "Why don't you try shouting louder?"

Gu Yang tapped her with a pen, his face darkening: "Are you ADHD? Should I shout louder and then wait for the audience to rush over and beat me up?"

Xu Qing: "Our mid laner definitely has ADHD. When she's hiding in the grass, she likes to make her character dance..."

Zhou Yao followed suit: "Or else just show the sign. She has to press something or else she won't be used to it."

Gu Yueshuang clapped her hands, interrupting their complaints: "Okay, put it away."

Gu Yang sighed, "I wish your voice chats during the game could be as talkative as this."

He originally thought it was normal not to talk while playing games, as everyone had to concentrate on the operation, and talking could easily distract them.

Until he heard the official microphone go crazy once. It was quiet in POG, but as soon as he switched to other teams, the speakers would suddenly explode, which was enough to make people's ears deaf.

The performance was over and the judge told them that they could enter the room.

Gu Yueshuang: "Okay, then let's start being active from BP. Do you want to be naughty? The highlights are weird... Zhou Yaoliang's Annie scared them to death!"

Teammates all looked sideways: "?"

"We were scared to death by you first."

Gu Yueshuang chuckled: "Let's bring out our Xiaolin's empty four elements."

Jhin is an AD hero with a perfect ending with his ultimate, and can shoot four bullets from a sniper position - Lin Yanqiu's Jhin is ridiculously bad, often missing a single bullet, and is ridiculed as "Four Nothing".

Xu Qing: "Move out? BAN!"

Gu Yueshuang asked, "What dish does Xu Qing want?"

Lin Yanqiu counterattacked at the right time: "He is a turnip, a vegetable from the inside out."

Xu Qing: “?”

Zhou Yao watched the show with great interest: "It's over, the bottom lane started fighting before it even started."

During the BP, Zhou Yao really showed Annie first, and only chose Ornn in the last half second.

Qin Ye clicked silently, and whatever he saw lit up. He also confirmed the hero in the last half second.

The audience couldn't help but feel horrified -

【???】

I’m so worried they won’t be able to order in time…

[Have you forgotten how you chose the wrong Annie right from the start?! POG, stop being so cocky!]

[I'm so shocked! Is there a first-person perspective for this? My hand speed is really fast... I would have lost it long ago.]

[There's no first-person perspective during the draft phase, but you can watch the live streams. Their hand speed is really fast... I sometimes even lose track of the mouse.]

Gu Yueshuang did the opposite and stayed on Sindra for a long time.

Gu Yang tapped her with the pen again: "You can choose Syndra in the next round, you choose Ezreal first."

Gu Yueshuang: "...I know. I'll just try to confuse them so they don't ban Syndra."

Lin Yanqiu nodded: "Sure, I also played Syndra during the chaotic period of the version."

Xu Qing once again refuted the situation: "I swear, that was the worst Syndra I've ever seen in a professional game."

Lin Yanqiu: "...Don't change for a while, let me prove myself."

Gu Yueshuang looked panicked: "Don't bother, I've never practiced EZ, you should have told me earlier that I would choose Xia."

Gu Yang: “…”

[Look at how dark POG coach's face is, haha, what a bunch of naughty kids]

[Just now the coach hit Frost with a pen, hahahaha. The director probably didn't want us to see the coach "beating" the player, so he cut the shot.]

[Don't play it for real, it scares me]

The FJ team also looked like they were having fun.

Chi Nan asked: "How about we show off our skills too? Let's respond."

Xia Yan thought for a moment and said, "Leave two seconds. Don't follow their example and only leave half a second. It's easy to get into trouble."

"Okay."

Although Chi Nan was confident that his hand speed was faster than his opponent's, he did not dare to choose the wrong hero in such a situation.

If you win it's just a joke, but if you lose it will be destroyed.

After the heroes were selected, Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu had to change the heroes back, but Lin Yanqiu rejected her request to change heroes.

"?"

Gu Yueshuang was so shocked and confused that she almost wanted to hit someone: "Stop it! Change quickly! Go back to RANK and prove yourself with Syndra again, okay?"

Lin Yanqiu was naughty this time, but he still switched back to being the hero with her, his tone still a little reluctant: "Alright, I'll let you prove yourself first."

After the change, he tried to instruct Gu Yueshuang: "Your rune talent should be..."

"Shut up."

She quickly selected the rune talents and clicked OK, not giving Lin Yanqiu a chance to interfere.

Lin Yanqiu nodded: "This Sindra has been blessed by me."

Xu Qing: "It's over, it's dirty. Can we still count on the 25th level of the Book of Killing?"

Zhou Yao said sincerely, "I hope Shuang Ge's Syndra won't be as playful as Xiao Lin's."

Lin Yanqiu feigned injury: "Why are you still trying to be an AD before the game? My mentality is broken."

Gu Yueshuang slammed her teammates: "It's okay, just wait and win in the bottom lane, we should be able to do it four against five."

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

The game officially started, and Gu Yueshuang said, "Jungler, please pay more attention to the mid lane this time. I will play more aggressively in the mid lane, and I guess he will call for the jungler."

Qin Ye: "Okay."

Xu Qing: "No way? It's not easy to rob Sindra..."

The mid lane hero chosen by Chi Nan was Jie.

Gu Yueshuang: "I am good at robbery, nicknamed bandit."

Xu Qing: “…”

Suddenly it became a double entendre.

Qin Ye: "I'll come as soon as I reach level one."

"OK, I'll control the line." Gu Yueshuang tried her best to pull the line towards her side, but she also had to control the distance, otherwise she would be at a disadvantage if the soldiers entered the tower.

Chi Nan made a mistake in his positioning and was accidentally hit by her skill, losing half of his health.

Everyone was squishy at level one. Seeing Qin Ye nearby, Gu Yueshuang asked, "First blood or flash?"

In this wave, Chi Nan will definitely flash, but if Qin Ye flashes too, there will be a chance to kill, but at the same time Qin Ye may encounter the jungler of FJ team.

——One is high risk and high return, the other is guaranteed profit.

Qin Ye: "Let's dodge."

"good."

After using Chi Nan's flash, Gu Yueshuang felt a lot more relaxed.

Because Chi Nan didn't have flash, he was very cautious in everything. As soon as someone from POG missed, he would start to retreat.

The flash lasted for five minutes, which was undoubtedly torture for him.

For POG, the enemy mid laner had no flash, so the jungler naturally visited the middle lane frequently. Chi Nan was miserable and could only ask the jungler to help push the line.

If he continued to hide, even if he didn't die, he would be offline for five minutes or even longer.

Xia Yan warned, "Be careful, their junglers might come too."

Chi Nan was a little anxious: "I know."

But they didn't know that POG's auxiliary Titan had already been squatting by the wall.

Xia Yan showed up in the middle lane, but Gu Yueshuang not only did not retreat, but was even using her skills to consume Chi Nan's health.

She was so blatant that Team FJ suspected that there was someone behind her.

——It looks like an ambush no matter how you look at it.

"The weak ones retreat!" Gu Yueshuang's E skill, the weak ones retreat, hit Chi Nan and successfully stunned him for 1.5 seconds.

She didn't hesitate to use all her skills on Chi Nan, completing the solo kill.

At the same time, Xu Qing came out from the side and appeared in FJ's sight.

They didn't see where Qin Ye was for the time being, but Xia Yan was sure that he was nearby, otherwise Xu Qing would not have come to find him so blatantly.

If there was no third person, Xu Qing's movement would be a gift.

As a support, he couldn't deal any damage, and Gu Yueshuang didn't have a magic ball at the moment, so the damage couldn't kill him.

So POG must have a backup plan.

Titan used a hook to pull Xia Yan over, which further confirmed Xia Yan's speculation.

Xia Yan immediately dodged and escaped.

But the next second, Xia Yan was dumbfounded. Qin Ye took advantage of his unpreparedness and ganked the top lane, killing their top laner Shi Wei.

The POG team's voice chat was filled with laughter.

Xu Qing laughed so hard that his eyes were almost blinded. "I didn't expect that I could actually trick a flash. It's a pity that I didn't get an assist... I made such a huge sacrifice!"

Gu Yueshuang: "It's okay, I'll give you credit for your victory."

Xu Qing yelled, "I was really scared just now. I thought if he didn't dodge, I would be beaten..."

While muttering to himself, he controlled the bulky Titan to move towards the bottom lane. Lin Yanqiu, who had just returned to the city to replenish his equipment, also came online.

——Just now, the two players in the bottom lane walked back together. The FJ team saw the two players in the bottom lane returning to the city together, but their vision quickly became dark and they were unable to hold on until the eight-second return-to-city special effect disappeared.

But what the FJ team didn't expect was that the AD really went back to the city to buy equipment, but the support canceled the return to the city and ran to the middle lane.

POG had figured out their vision habits and they had no idea where the opponents were, which led to them being tricked.

Two kills were lost and the jungler lost his flash.

FJ's devastating start.

The atmosphere in POG became lively. Zhou Yao said, "Guys! Snowballing is a sure win!"

Xu Qing gloated: "Has the other side's mentality collapsed?"

Gu Yueshuang interjected: "The mid laner didn't flash."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then went back to note the CD time and asked, "Didn't he just flash? Why is he gone again? Did I remember the time wrong?"

Gu Yueshuang smiled and said, "No, I almost killed him alone just now."

He spoke calmly and calmly, showing the demeanor of a big boss.

Gu Yueshuang said happily: "The jungler has to stay in the middle lane again."

Qin Ye: "Okay."

Lin Yanqiu: "Please take care of the kids in the bottom lane. I've never seen a jungler in the bottom lane."

Both the top and middle lanes are flourishing, but the bottom lane is still 0-0-0, peaceful and unpredictable.

As they were talking, they saw Xia Yan heading towards the bottom lane.

Zhou Yao gloated: "It's over, the other side heard it first."

Lin Yanqiu pursed his lips and retreated with his troops, feeling a little aggrieved.

He was so anxious that he was circling under the tower - "My wave of artillery soldiers!"

If you want to get this artillery car, you have to depend on the opponent's attitude, which is too difficult.

Zhou Yao: "Miss top lane."

Lin Yanqiu quickly retreated towards his own second tower.

Originally, I just needed to dodge this wave, but if I don’t retreat now, I might be surrounded by four and two.

Gu Yueshuang wanted to rush over but it was too late. She said, "Don't worry, I'll get you a red buff later."

Qin Ye took the vanguard and placed it directly in the middle lane, cooperating with Gu Yueshuang to knock down the opposite middle lane tower.

From this moment on, they can move freely in the opposite jungle.

Gu Yueshuang looked at the soldier line and said, "I feel like I can hit the second tower again, or kill the opponent's mid laner once."

The FJ team was completely anxious. They felt that it would be a big loss if they couldn't get a kill in this four-on-two situation in the bottom lane, so they wanted to kill him by force.

Unfortunately, EZ ran too fast, and in order to ensure EZ's safe escape, Titan even walked two steps slower, ready to sacrifice himself to protect AD at any time.

At the same time, Gu Yueshuang used her skills to push Chi Nan, and Qin Ye seized the opportunity to beat him up.

——Chi Nan died faster than the Rift Herald. If the FJ team didn’t come back, this Herald would even have a chance to hit the front tower.

Gu Yueshuang sighed: "This pioneer is so good, he can actually hit three towers in a row..."

At this time, thanks to Chi Nan, Gu Yueshuang's Book of Killing had reached the 16th level.

Gu Yueshuang swelled up: "I'm too impressive, right? I even think I can fight three people alone now."

When POG gathered to fight the dragon, Gu Yueshuang rushed into the opposite jungle without paying attention to anyone around, picked up the red buff and threw it at her AD's face, saying, "Here, I brought you the red buff I promised you before."

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

Even though the middle lane has expanded a lot, it is still 0-0-0.

He is a non-confrontational person and has never even gotten an assist.

He farms in every teamfight that results in a kill.

There were no casualties in every team battle he participated in.

EZ's precise barrage outputs across the entire screen, but he always passes by the opponent and can't even get an assist.

It hurts so much.

Xu Qing: "Now I really believe that Brother Shuang can fight three people alone."

Zhou Yao: "Given his recklessness, I think he can easily defeat five of them at once..."

Xu Qing looked at his AD's record and exclaimed in amazement: "It's over. Others can still be support-type ADs, but our AD has directly become an OB-type AD."

Lin Yanqiu: "At least let me use my ultimate to get an assist, please."

Gu Yueshuang: "You will definitely be able to get involved in this team battle. Stand bravely in the front row with your red buff!"

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

He really didn't dare to stand in the front row.

All ADs are squishy, ​​even those with red buff are no exception.

Being too aggressive in your positioning is the same as giving yourself a kill.

After several people killed the little dragon, the opponent finally arrived.

Gu Yueshuang: "Do you want to fight?"

Lin Yanqiu was ready to make a move, but for the sake of the overall situation, he sighed and said reluctantly, "Forget it, let's retreat."

POG snowballed very smoothly. Even when they reached the high ground, Lin Yanqiu's record was still 0-0-3, which was extremely bleak compared to Gu Yueshuang's 25-level Book of Death.

Lin Yanqiu was practically going crazy: "Please, let me get a kill... This KDA is too bad."

Qin Ye: "I'm three short of super gods, give me a chance?"

Gu Yueshuang, who had already achieved the Super God achievement, didn't give him a chance. She grabbed the kill and said, "Let me get a pentakill. I still need four."

Qin Ye: "..."

No teammates to love anymore.

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

I unilaterally and quietly announced in my heart that AD has broken with all of you.

The audience was also dumbfounded. No one expected that the POG team, which had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the 3W team in the previous game, would play against the FJ team as if they were playing against a robot. It was a complete crushing victory.

The five people from FJ also looked like they were still asleep. They were ambushing people on their wards, losing vision, using their own flash, and giving themselves away in various ways.

Before last week, people might have thought that POG, which had won three games in a row, and FJ, which had won six games in a row, were 30-70, with POG having a 30% chance of winning.

But after POG lost, the odds became 19-10 in everyone's eyes - most people thought POG couldn't win.

[I never expected this to be a complete crushing victory for POG...]

[Team FJ is so shameful! Did they all forget to practice because they were busy with business?]

【Everyone is sleepwalking, and they have all been thoroughly studied by POG.】

[This Syndra is really exaggerated. When she first released the Book of Death, we thought she was inflated.]

What's up? Are you ready to apologize for criticizing POG?

[Even though Xiaolin didn't get many kills or assists, his damage was actually pretty good...]

[It's all ineffective damage. He went crazy on the high ground. He went wherever there was no one on the opposite side. As a result, the mid and jungle didn't treat him as a human being and madly stole kills in front of him. No teammates love him anymore, hahahahahaha]

The five POG members returned to the training room happily.

Gu Yueshuang boasted happily: "What's the matter? Are you quiet? Is my killing book powerful?"

Gu Yang grinned so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. He said, "This wave is really amazing! It's amazing! Everyone is great!"

Lin Yanqiu looked depressed: "Your Syndra will be banned in the next round."

Gu Yueshuang cried openly but secretly said: "It's over, the only thing I can do is use Clockwork in the next round. What if I accidentally play too well and Clockwork is banned?"

Zhou Yao bumped into her and said, "Come on, have you forgotten about the pentakill Zoe?"

Xu Qing joked, "It's over. From now on, all five ban slots will belong to Shuang Ge."

Gu Yueshuang: "Not really."

Qin Ye threatened: "I will also ban the mid laner."

Humph, I'll let you steal my super achievement.

Gu Yueshuang: "..."
