Perhaps sensing Jun's gaze, Chen Yi guiltily glanced back. Then he couldn't help clearing his throat and said:
"It's a way to relieve tension, Coach. You don't mind, do you?"
"..."
Jun felt as if his heart had spasmed.
Listen to yourself.
Is that even something a human would say?
But in the end, he still nodded and said, "It's your first match, so it's normal not to be used to it. Adjust your mindset properly. That's the most important thing."
"OK!"
Chen Yi then turned to Su Nuan and said, "So just relax and play the match in your own way. That's how you can bring out your best."
If he could, JUN really wanted to beat Chen Yi up and make him recognize his place.
But he held himself back.
Soon!
The BP began.
The current BP was mainly based on the patch. Whichever champions were strong on the patch would be banned, but this time, something unexpected happened.
When Thresh was placed on the ban list,
countless people started whistling.
[They're banning Thresh just like that?]
[Thresh was indeed amazing last game. Banning him is only reasonable.]
[Guess no one will call the girl bad this game, right?]
[Nope!]
You had to be kidding!
Who would dare call a support whose hooks hit every time bad?
Soon!
Both teams' lineups were decided.
OMG, blue side!
Bans: [Nami, Jayce, Thresh, Shen, Ryze]
Picks: [Top Rumble, jungle Kha'Zix, mid Twisted Fate, ADC Kog'Maw, support Lulu]
Snake, red side!
Bans: [Ezreal, Ahri, Malzahar, LeBlanc, Varus]
Picks: [top Gragas, jungle Rengar, mid Fizz, ADC Ashe, support Zyra.]
Once this lineup appeared, even the commentators' expressions became rather interesting.
Chang Mao: "This bottom-lane combination is a little... strange."
Rita: "It really is strange. OMG's side is fine—Kog'Maw and Lulu. This is also OMG's strongest lineup. But what interests me most is still Snake's bottom-lane combination."
Chang Mao: "Actually, Ashe and Zyra are fine."
Rita: "But here's the problem: this is the lineup OMG picked last game."
As soon as she said that, the chat exploded.
[What does this mean?]
[What? Are they going to teach the other team how to play bot lane?]
[Did you do this on purpose, or was it accidental?]
[Feels like... it was on purpose, right?]
[Obviously! It definitely was.]
The audience wasn't the only ones reacting strongly. Even the OMG players' mouths twitched slightly as they said, "Why pick this lineup? Do they look down on us?"
Xiao Wu: "Brother Ma! Say something! They're trying to teach us how to play these two champions. Can you swallow this insult? I can't, anyway."
Sima Laozai: "..."
world: "I'm playing Kha'Zix this time. Just call me if anything happens. I want to personally wash away last game's humiliation this time."
Xiao Wu: "Good!"
Losing the previous game hadn't affected their mentality.
Of course!
They had reflected on things as well, but they weren't reflecting on how they had played that game. They were reflecting on their own mindset—they had underestimated the opposition too much.
That was why this situation had appeared.
So they had to play well this game.
Soon!
The BP ended, and the coach stepped down from the stage.
Before Jun stepped down, Chen Yi was still constantly reassuring Su Nuan. Listening to those words, Jun's mouth twitched slightly as well. He always felt that the atmosphere between those two was completely out of place in this arena.
But after thinking about what Chen Yi had said, he felt that it wasn't entirely unreasonable.
After the BP ended, the coach returned to the lounge and began watching the match as a spectator. The previous combination had been extremely aggressive.
This time, however, the combination was a little more cautious.
He didn't know what the result would be.
But whatever the result, they would have to see how the game progressed.
Soon!
The game began.
As they entered Summoner's Rift, the pace of the match was completely different from the previous one. Both sides had started normally last game.
This time, something was a little unusual.
As for who it was?
It was Zyra in the bottom lane. Instead of helping the jungler, she went to bot lane and entered the bottom-lane brush closer to the enemy turret.
What was she doing?
If that alone was confusing enough, she then went to the enemy bottom lane's tri-brush.
Seriously!
No one understood it at all.
[What's going on with this Zyra?]
[She's not helping the jungler and is just wandering around here?]
[I don't understand what she's doing at all. Do you guys know?]
[This...]
No one knew!
But Su Nuan soon answered everything in the chat with her actions. Since she had chosen Ashe, the bottom lane needed to focus on farming.
The ADC needed to farm, but what about the support?
She didn't!
A support had plenty of things to do, such as helping the ADC push the wave or securing vision.
And that was exactly what she was doing now.
However, the moment Lulu stepped into the bottom-lane brush, those Thorns immediately wrapped around her. At the instant they hit,
the two seeds were catalyzed by the skill and became saplings that dealt crazed damage.
The damage from one skill wasn't high.
But combined with the damage from the two saplings, it became extremely significant. After the saplings' attacks landed, a bolt of lightning also struck Lulu.
Xiao Wu probably hadn't expected it.
He hadn't even done anything yet, but half his health had already been taken away.
[This Zyra...]
[I think I understand why she didn't help the jungler. It was to plant seeds.]
[What were the seeds in the tri-brush for?]
[Covering both options. If they came through the tri-brush, she would attack from there. But they came through the brush in front of the Krugs and then went to lane, so that's where she had to attack.]
[Xiao Wu made a pretty big mistake.]
[It wasn't really a mistake. Before entering the brush, Xiao Wu used his Q Skill to check it, but he couldn't see Zyra's seeds, so...]
[All we can say is that the enemy was too cunning.]
During the previous game, many people had thought she was just a girl.
A newcomer.
But after seeing her skill, everyone's opinion changed. She was a professional player, and nothing more.
Now, all they wanted to see was how she would make her plays.
After one combo took half his health,
the pressure in the bottom lane immediately increased. Chen Yi, meanwhile, calmly focused on last-hitting. That was the nature of Ashe.
She needed to farm!
If the opposing side had also chosen a champion like Tristana, he would have felt some pressure.
But Kog'Maw...
All he could say was that this BP was excellent. Trusting in individual skill, at least in lane, Chen Yi hadn't felt any pressure, so he only needed to continue farming like this.
It was just that farming like this was a little boring.
Especially for Su Nuan.
One or two minutes was fine, but what about after three or five minutes?
That wouldn't do.
The other side wasn't giving her any opportunity to fight at all.
Su Nuan spoke in a coquettish voice, "I'm so bored. I want to stir things up. Farming like this all the time is too boring."
