"Although it may be a bit unfair to say this, but after something like this happened... Pei Yan shouldn't play today, right? Don't we have a better chance of winning?" said SJ's top laner Dun Dun.
"Don't take it lightly. Pei Yan is indeed the core of NSD, but that doesn't mean the others are useless, especially Qiao Ran." SJ's captain, A Shui, was less optimistic. "We've watched the videos of their previous matches, and Qiao Ran's level is constantly improving."
"No matter how powerful Qiao Ran is, he is just a support. The output of our supports is limited after all." Ximi also felt that this was an opportunity given by God.
"What if she doesn't buy support equipment? Qiao Ran used to carry punishment. Her support style is different from yours." This time, Lin Qi stood as their captain.
Yang Yi also felt that today's game would not be any easier due to Pei Yan's absence: "Everything has its limits. Maybe Pei Yan's injury will stimulate others..."
"Can we please think positively and not boost others' morale while destroying our own prestige?" Dun Dun sighed.
When both sides took their seats, the audience and even SJ on the opposite side were surprised to find that Qiao Ran from NSD had changed his seat and sat in Pei Yan's position, while their substitute sat in Qiao Ran's original position.
[Wow! What's going on? I can't figure out what NSD is up to.]
Is Pei Shen really unable to play? I'm so injured...
[Making a bold guess, Qiao Ran might play as a jungler today]
[Are you crazy? Or is NSD crazy? Qiao Ran playing jungle? Don't you know that there's a saying in the martial arts world that Qiao Ran will definitely lose if he plays jungle?]
Didn't Qiao Ran win against Pei Shen once in a livestream before? It wasn't that bad, was it?
[SJ is delighted and has booked fireworks to celebrate]
......
Both sides entered the P/B hero stage. SJ probably guessed that Qiao Ran would play jungle, so they banned Lanling King, Nakroth, Monkey King and other jungle heroes that are easy to learn.
NSD followed Zhang Qian's advice and banned several heroes with high SJ jungle proficiency and win rate in order to reduce Qiao Ran's pressure.
In this game, both sides had a total of 8 bans, and without exception, all of them were given to the jungler.
[This is crazy! How many heroes are there in the jungle? The most commonly used ones have been banned. What else can I play?]
[Just because you can't beat the noobs in front doesn't mean they are invincible. Their hero pools are much deeper.]
[Wow! I'm already looking forward to this match!]
[Anyone want to place a bet on whether Qiao Ran will be able to change his fate today?]
......
"Our jungler is really impressive in this round." Yang Yi looked at his main characters who were all banned and shook his head. "What do you think Qiao Ran will pick?"
"I can't say."
"It's hard to say."
Dun Dun and Ximi sang in unison.
"Hey! Are you two telling me a crosstalk here?"
Lin Qi also said, "It's really hard to say. Qiao Ran's hero pool is too deep and hard to fathom. Instead of worrying about what Qiao Ran will choose, you should choose someone who can restrain her teammates. Their support is a novice, and maybe he can be our breakthrough point."
Lin Qi had just finished saying this sentence, and before he could even finish the last word, Su Yang unexpectedly locked in Wang Zhaojun.
"Oh my god! What's going on?" Ximi was stunned. "Could it be that Ye Xiaofan is the support today?"
At this time, the audience also had the same question.
[No way, the mid laner is also changing players? ]
[Is it possible that the substitute is following Qiao Ran's path? ]
[We, the Qiao fans, are not bragging, but can anyone learn Qiao Qiao's style? 】
…
What everyone doesn’t know is that Su Yang’s choice of Wang Zhaojun was made by Qiao Ran.
Zhang Qian hesitated for a while, and finally decided to listen to Qiao Ran this time. After all, this was only the first game, so he could just treat it as a trial run. It didn't matter if he lost, there would still be a chance to turn the tables later.
"Su Yang, follow Brother Kai in the early stage. After you destroy one of their towers, come and follow me." Qiao Ran took a few deep breaths as he watched the loading process, lowered his eyebrows, and concentrated on the game.
Miyue is a relatively fast hero at clearing jungle, and Qiao Ran’s hand speed is also fast enough. After clearing the red and blue jungle areas, he went straight to the bottom lane to gank.
Su Yang played well in this game. His Wang Zhaojun's freezing skills were very accurate. He and Sun Kai had already pushed the line in the bottom lane, putting pressure on the opponent and gaining a slight advantage.
"I'm coming. Stop pressing us and move back a little," Qiao Ran said.
Sun Kai probably knew what Qiao Ran was going to do, so he followed Su Yang and retreated a little, letting the soldiers move forward first.
SJ knew the danger, but he couldn't just let the soldiers enter the tower.
"Brother Shui, you stand at the back, I'll block it for you in front." Ximi knew that at this time either the mid laner or the jungler might appear.
Qiao Ran saw Ximi moving forward and naturally knew that he was protecting his own shooter: "Su Yang, freeze their support and then start interference."
"Okay!" As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, his skill was accurately cast on Ximi, and Ximi was instantly frozen into ice.
Su Yang started the interference, Qiao Ran flashed into the tower, and immediately caught A Shui.
In fact, when A Shui saw Ximi being frozen, he knew that something was wrong, so he turned around and ran towards his own second tower, but he still couldn't get rid of Qiao Ran.
In Qiao Ran's hands, Mi Yue's thread seemed to never break after being connected.
When A Shui found that he couldn't get rid of it, he started to circle around the tower. Even if he was going to die, he would use the attack of the defense tower to die together with Qiao Ran.
Since Qiao Ran chose to cross the tower, she had already figured out A Shui's intention. She had been holding her ultimate skill to no avail, just to avoid the defense tower and survive.
A Shui watched himself being exhausted to death by Qiao Ran's Mi Yue, and Mi Yue had only a little blood left. At this time, Mi Yue activated her ultimate move and escaped safely.
Some people may ask, since the support cannot be frozen for so long, why not go and help?
help?
Sun Kai is not dead. Su Yang has frozen him there and made him a living target. Is he just going to watch him like that?
The reason why he didn't help was naturally because he couldn't help. Compared to A Shui, Ximi would die a few seconds earlier.
After getting rid of A Shui, the opposite blue zone and dragon pit were refreshed. Qiao Ran's health was not very optimistic at the moment, but fortunately the hero she used had skills with bloodsucking.
She quickly analyzed the situation on the field and the opponent's jungler's habits in her mind, and decided to clear the opponent's blue zone first, and then go to kill the dragon.
"I'm going to kill the dragon. Their jungler will probably come over too. If anyone has time, come and support me." Qiao Ran wasn't sure who would live and die if he had to fight the opposing jungler alone.
"I'm coming!" Zhao Jie had just pushed forward a wave of soldiers, and the situation on the top lane was temporarily relieved. He quickly came to the dragon pit in the bottom lane through the teleportation array and hid in the grass to ambush.
Qiao Ran started to open the dragon.
After Sun Kai destroyed half of the enemy's bottom lane tower and the new wave of soldiers had not yet arrived, he also started to help Qiao Ran fight the dragon.
"Brother Kai, you continue fighting." Qiao Ran suddenly interrupted his skill.
"Where are you going?" Sun Kai asked, not daring to stop using his skills.
As soon as Sun Kai asked this question, he saw Qiao Ran flash across the dragon pit and appear directly in the grass behind the red buff in his own red zone, and he even hit the opposing jungler.
Yang Yi had been lying in ambush here a few seconds before Qiao Ran opened the dragon, so his vision should not have been exposed.
So...how did Qiao Ran predict him?
Yang Yi felt something was wrong and turned around to escape, even using his Flash.
Zhao Jie's Zhu Bajie "Kuacha" created a roadblock for him, blocking his way of escape.
"Hehe, what do you think? Old Pig's move was timely, wasn't it?" Zhao Jie said in a tone asking for praise.
Ye Xiaofan was currently entangled with the opposing mid laner. Neither side had the time to provide support, but both sides saw what was happening in the wild area.
"Brother Zhao, you did a great job! I give you a thumbs up!" Ye Xiaofan was busy fighting on the line while satisfying Zhao Jie's psychological needs.
......
——
After Pei Yan returned to the base, he went straight to his room, turned on his computer, and switched to the platform where the game was being broadcast live.
There was a traffic jam on the road. Pei Yan's phone was already running low on power because he forgot to charge it, and he also forgot to bring a power bank with him today.
Now that I think about it, how come all these things are signs of Mercury retrograde today.
As luck would have it, his mother, who was filming, saw the news online while taking a break on the set and called to ask about his injuries, causing his phone to completely go black.
By the time we arrived at the base, the game was already several minutes over.
At this moment, the screen was showing Qiao Ran and Zhao Jie working together to kill Yang Yi.
Sun Kai also successfully defeated the dragon after taking over from Qiao Ran.
In just a moment, Pei Yan wished he could travel back to the competition scene and join the battle.
He suddenly understood how Qiao Ran felt when he was waiting for the results of the competition in the hospital last time.
"I can catch another wave next time..." Pei Yan stared at the computer screen and muttered to himself.
At the competition site, Qiao Ran seemed to have heard Pei Yan's words and glanced at the current position of everyone on the small map.
"Brother Zhao, go to the top lane first and force Dun Dun into the tower. Su Yang, go wait in the grass beside their tower. I'll go over after I clear this wave of jungle monsters." Unknowingly, Qiao Ran took over from Pei Yan and began to arrange the battle.
The others didn't think there was anything wrong and cooperated as if it was normal.
At the base, Pei Yan watched Qiao Ran take down another kill under the arrangement of Zhao Jie and Su Yang, and also pushed down the top lane defense tower. The corners of his lips, which had been suppressed, finally curved up.
......
"The captain was right. NSD will be just as hard to deal with even without Pei Shen..." Ximi's face was twisted. He contributed too many kills in this game and was probably going to be criticized by netizens again.
"In the final analysis, we were careless first. We will definitely win back in the next round!" Dun Dun promised.
The author has something to say:
Today is the day when Pei Shen doesn't have to play and turns on "retirement mode"~
