On the side of the High Mountain Battle Team, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed. Basically, no one cared about their next opponent, the Red Sonic Youth Battle Team. They were certain that they would win this match. Everyone had even started discussing where to have a celebratory feast after the match — —
But the sudden appearance of someone spoiled the mood. Naturally, the members of Team Gaoshan were a little unhappy.
Thus, everyone turned to look at the member called Old Li and began to mock and ridicule him.
"Old Li, what's the meaning of this?"
"You think we can't win today? Whose side are you on? Why are you speaking up for Red Sonics? "
"Oh, you can't go on stage, so you don't expect our team to do well, right?"
Someone from the group replied and looked at Old Li with a mocking gaze.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Old Li probably thinks that our main lineup isn't strong enough. We can't beat Red Sonics. So, he thinks that he should go on stage and show off his skills? With Old Li on stage, we can probably call this a 'best-of-3' match. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
The member called Old Li was so anxious that his face turned red. "No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just saying that we shouldn't let our guard down …"
Before he could finish, the jungler of Team Gaoshan, Wang Chong, rudely interrupted him.
"Do you need to say that?"
"Are you the only one who knows if we should be vigilant or not?"
"You're just a substitute from Team Two. Do you really think you're a big shot?"
Old Li's face turned pale after being ridiculed. His lips trembled as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, he lowered his head dejectedly and no longer argued. Instead, he muttered softly:
"I … I didn't mean it that way."
"I just don't want everyone to underestimate the enemy. Let's play well in the match —"
But at this time, no one paid attention to his words. The members of the team had long since given him the cold shoulder. They continued to laugh and laugh as they discussed how they were going to beat the Red Sonic Youth, as well as where they were going to eat later.
In such a lively and relaxed atmosphere, it was as if only this substitute member of the team named Old Li was left alone in a corner. He humbly lowered his head, his body hunched over.
It was a little desolate.
It was a little sad.
… …
After the Red Sonics and High Mountain Team's ten players were seated in their respective arenas, the big screen appeared on the big screen. Tonight's second group of 'best-of-3' matches had finally begun the first round of the BAN round.
"Team Red Sonics is on the blue side.
"Team Gaoshan is on the purple side."
On the commentary platform, Su Xue looked at the big screen and gave an objective evaluation.
"Speaking of which, compared to the previous set of 'best-of-three' matches, the difference in strength between the two teams in this set of matches is more obvious."
"Although the High Mountain team's results in the LSPL this year are not very good, they are still a veteran team. They have the strength. The Red Sonics have been at the bottom of the 16 teams for the past two seasons. In this set of 'best-of-three' matches, the High Mountain team should have a higher chance of winning."
A male guest commentator next to him also nodded with a smile and continued,
"Yeah, Xue's right."
"From an objective point of view, Team Alpine's overall strength is stronger than Team Red Sonics. The same goes for the individual strength of their players. However, we've also seen how Team Seven Ghosts managed to win the previous set of 'best-of-three' matches. Perhaps Team Red Sonics will give us a pleasant surprise later."
"Yeah. Let's wait and see." Su Xue smiled.
Even though she said that, none of the commentators, including Su Xue, took her words too seriously. They all felt that as long as Team Gaoshan didn't make too many mistakes and performed normally, it wouldn't be hard for them to win.
At this time, on the big screen, the blue and purple teams had already confirmed their lineups. The screen jumped to the loading bar of the game.
"It's starting," Ceng Rui said.
Ceng Rui said. At the same time, Tang Bingyao's eyes were glued to the spectator screen in anticipation.
Among the three of them, only Lin Feng's gaze did not land on the screen. On the contrary, he slightly narrowed his eyes, trying his best to sweep his gaze across the faces of the two teams on the stage, as if he was looking for something.
But in the end, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He withdrew his gaze.
… …
As soon as the first match of the second best-of-three match began, Team Gaoshan on the purple side displayed their strength.
On the top lane, the High Mountain team's top laner, Jayz, directly suppressed Ice Girl from the Red Sonic team on the blue side. With a few beautiful moves, he avoided Ice Girl Lissandra's Q skills. While ensuring that the last hit was stable, he also drained Ice Girl's health and lowered her opponent's health.
At the same time, Team Gaoshan's jungler, whose real name was Wang Chong, immediately gank the top lane with a Level 2 red buff.
The ice maiden was caught off guard.
Jayz took the initiative to hold back.
The Blind Monk's Q hit, and Icemaiden followed up with a Q attack. The red buff slowed her down and stuck her.
Icemaiden evaded, while the Blind Monk followed up with a Blink. In the end, he completed the kill with a normal attack.
"First blood! — — "
The system's female voice announced the kill.
The audience immediately burst into applause and cheers.
"Nice!" Su Xue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This time, Team Alpine's jungler, Blind, has a pretty good strategy. The top lane, Jayce, lowered the Ice Maiden's health, but he wasn't in a hurry to push the line. Instead, he coordinated with Blind's Level 2 gank and killed the Ice Maiden cleanly!"
In the fifth row of the audience, the Japanese exchange students nodded in agreement.
The blind man with the purple square was quite skilled.
Even Kamiya Saka had a look of approval on her face. She was a jungler herself. Even though she couldn't compare to Team Gaoshan's jungler, the Blind Monk's gank was indeed a success.
At the same time, seeing their own team gaining first blood and establishing an advantage, the other members of the second team of the Alpine Battle Club were also overjoyed.
"Brother Chong is so nice!"
"Sure enough, it's different with Old Blind Monk around!"
"There's a rhythm now. That Icemaiden is going to have a hard time."
"It's good that Blind Monk got a kill. That way, Brother Chong can set the pace even faster!"
Amidst the praises, one of the members of Team Two seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at Old Li, who was standing alone in the corner.
"Old Li? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? "
"Weren't you pretty talkative just now? You were worried that Team One would underestimate the enemy."
"Now that Brother Chong got a kill, you're not feeling too good, are you?"
The team member named Old Li looked embarrassed and hurriedly tried to explain, "I, I didn't mean that."
Before he finished speaking, another member of Team Two had already interrupted him with a sneer and said to his teammate beside him,
"Why are you paying attention to him?"
"In any case, he's just a substitute who will never get on the field. All he can do is show off his eloquence."
"Sigh, that's true. He's just a substitute for the rest of his life. That's pretty pathetic, hahaha!"
Old Li's face alternated between green and red under the unbridled laughter. In the end, he could only silently lower his head and say nothing.
