Chapter 91: The Final Battle in the Tadpole Division!
Saturday night at 8:30 pm.
An Jin sat in front of the computer with a serious expression, turning on the devices on the screen one by one according to the instructions of the alliance's official personnel.
In the quiet queue, the voices of the officials kept echoing.
Only after everyone's equipment was properly set up did some static appear in YY (a Chinese voice chat platform).
Pipa, who had no experience in major competitions, was the first to speak up: "This is making me nervous."
The cripple silently turned on his microphone +1.
Jiang Jinhan's attention was not on the two of them; An Jin's voice had been absent from the team's microphone for a long time.
Breadman: "Why isn't An'an saying anything? Are you nervous?"
An Jin turned on her microphone and said, "A little, but mostly I'm excited."
She had no interest in chatting; her entire attention was focused on the screen in front of her.
The other two teams' matches had reached their most crucial moment. She stared intently at the actions of both teams' supports, immersing herself in the game and watching with complete focus.
She even blocked out the voices of her teammates.
Pipa asked in confusion, "What's wrong with An'an?"
Breadman: "I don't know, is she still in front of the computer? An'an?"
The increasingly loud conversation woke An Jin, who said impatiently, "Are you trying to wake me up? I'm watching the game, it's a crucial moment!"
The bread man who had been scolded smiled sheepishly: "You're really fierce, An'an."
An Jin, whose watch of the game had been interrupted, said in a furious tone: "You talk too much. I'll tear your mouth apart when we're offline."
Bread Man: "Wow, what a capable little girl! Brother Wang is in for a rough time."
Pipa chimed in, "They're in for it!"
An Jin: "So what? I'm asking you what happened!"
Jiang Jinhan: "An'an, don't mind him. They've finished. Everyone check the equipment; it's our turn."
An Jin nodded, carefully checked the equipment, confirmed her name with the official staff in the group chat, and was immediately pulled into the competition room.
A few seconds later, the empty competition room was instantly filled with people.
An Jin turned on her game microphone and kept asking in a low voice, "Is the sound clear?"
The rest of the team: "Understood."
With the official match still a few minutes away from starting, An Jin began offering encouragement to her teammates via YY (a voice chat platform).
"The other side has never beaten us in practice matches. We're guaranteed to win tonight. Everyone, just stay focused and calm. Let's aim for a clean sweep!"
"A clean sheet against them! We'll have a big meal Wednesday night!"
Pipa raised her hands, excitedly echoing An Jin's words.
The cripple was also typing in the chat box, and unsurprisingly, the other side saw it.
The opposing team: Are you kidding me? Sending this to our faces, you don't treat us like human beings at all.
Wow, there's a pre-match trash talk segment?! Brothers, charge! Crush Wang Ge's team! Capture An An the Bread Man alive!
Take down Brother Wang's team! Capture An'an the bread man alive!
You cripple, just you wait, I'll make sure you wreck your jungle!
Cripple: 6
An Jin, who was encouraging her teammates in the team's microphone, looked down and saw the chat box in complete chaos.
"You cripple, are you an idiot?"
An Jin asked incredulously, "How could someone with a pig nose be talking badly about the other side in the public chat?"
While interacting with her opponent, Pipa said with a grin, "That cripple is cunning; he's definitely doing it on purpose."
The opponent was also a streamer on Kedou Video. We see each other all the time and are quite familiar with each other.
It was precisely because of their familiarity that the cripple dared to deliberately tease the other side.
The two teams chatted and laughed as the match officially began.

Meanwhile, in the official live stream room, there was a three-minute delay compared to the actual match.
The two familiar male commentators sat in the brightly lit room and finished reading their thank-you messages to the sponsors.
Lao Zhao: "Welcome everyone to the League of Legends streamer Cup Tadpole's live stream room. I'm your old friend, commentator Lao Zhao."
Lao Zhou: "Welcome everyone, I'm Lao Zhou."
Old Zhao: "It's been a long time since we've seen you all. I wonder if you've missed us?"
Lao Zhou: "I think the audience definitely thinks about it, but they don't think about us."
Old Zhao: "Oh? You mean?"
Old Zhou winked and said, "Of course we're thinking about our streamer cup contestants. It's been a week since we last saw them, and I'm sure the audience misses them a lot in the upcoming matches."
"In that case, please show the camera to the contestants who are preparing for the competition."
"The first person to appear on the screen is the captain of the opposing team, an old acquaintance, Brother Wang."
"New viewers might be wondering why we call our team leader 'Brother Wang' when his name is Jiang Jinhan. Well, that's a long story..."
"Alright, now that we've explained the origin of Brother Wang's nickname, next up is our top laner, Oily Pipa..."
"Then the jungler started kicking the crippled guy's good leg repeatedly..."
"Finally up is our mid-laner, Yiche Mianbaoren, who's also a familiar face to us..."
"This last contestant is something else entirely."
"How incredible is it?"
"This player is the only girl among the four teams, and she is also the most popular player among the audience right now. She is the most popular female support player on the streamer cup video platform. An'an can't sleep."
"Wow, it's been a long time! An'an has become even more beautiful."
"That smile, oh my, it's so cute!"
"Director, don't let your hands shake, I can't see An'an's face anymore."
"Alas—good times always fly by. Let's welcome the next team to the stage..."
The two commentators finished introducing the two teams with a mix of jokes and banter.
As the two finished their introductions, the screen naturally transitioned into the ban/pick phase of the game.
Old Zhao: "Old Zhou, do you think Brother Wang's team will bring out Cat?"
Old Zhou shook his head: "I don't think that's right."
Old Zhao: "Why?"
Old Zhou: "Because Wang Ge's team's cat system is too easy to snowball. If I were their team's opponent, I wouldn't let them have the opportunity to get this lineup."
Old Zhao said, "But I also see that the weaknesses of the cat system are very obvious. As long as we can crush Wang Ge's bottom lane in the early game and prevent Wang Ge from developing, the cat system is not that difficult to beat."
Old Zhou laughed: "Some teams have tried this before, but it didn't work well. Wang Ge's team's cat system is strong not only because the bottom lane is strong. Even if you keep ganking the bottom lane and crush Wang Ge, if the mid laner Breadman and the cripple get fed, it will still be very difficult to fight in the mid and late game."
Old Zhao: "This is probably the difficulty of playing against Brother Wang's team's cat system. The strength of the opposing team is like a complete five-pointed star. The lineup they bring out seems to have obvious weaknesses, but in actual combat, their team members can perfectly avoid the fatal flaws caused by their weaknesses through their individual skill ceiling."
"The ban/pick phase is over. The opposing team didn't ban Yuumi. Will Wang's team pick Yuumi?"
"Their first pick was a support hero, and as expected, it was Yuumi. There's no way around it, this hero is just too perfect for Brother Wang's team."
"Yes, let's see how their opponents choose."
"Wow, this lineup..."
"I understand, they want to play the early game against the cat system."
"But this lineup selection is really too extreme. They really don't give themselves any way out. If the game goes on for a little longer, they won't be able to fight."
"Both players have entered the game, let's wait and see how the game progresses."
