In the first round of Group A of the East China region's top 16 knockout matches, the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team vs the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team.
The first match of Group B3 was decided in a short twenty-five minutes.
The Shanghai Telecommunications Association team was in the lead, 1-0.
They had also forced their opponent, the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team, into the match point.
Inside the competition venue, the live audience below the stage was in an uproar. They were all discussing the first match that had just ended. At the same time, they were also amazed by the performance of the high school students from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team.
"Just a few high school students … they're actually so strong."
"Who said that the mid laner from the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology was very strong? Wasn't Lux crushed by Yasuo just now? "
"Yes yes yes, that Lux seems to be from the KO Masters' team? An expert with a B-rank rating? "
"Tsk tsk, then what's the strength rating of the mid laner from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team?"
"It's at least above A-."
Indeed.
Hearing the discussions coming from behind him, Sun Ruinian, who was sitting in the front row of the spectator stands, was silent. But he had already gravely raised his strength rating of the mid laner from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team by a small step.
Not A-.
He should have already crossed the threshold of A-.
This conclusion made the captain of the Zhejiang University team feel even heavier and more complicated.
On one hand, he was amazed that such a young and talented mid laner had appeared in Magic City. On the other hand, he was also troubled by the fact that his Zhejiang University team would have to face an opponent of this level in the future.
A mid laner with an A-rank rating.
Even for their Zhejiang University team, this was definitely an existence that they had to be extremely wary of.
More importantly, Sun Ruinian knew very well that the mid laner from the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team wasn't the only strong player on the field. Even Ceng Rui, who was in the support position, might have also reached the strength rating of A-.
Just these two players were enough to make him vigilant and fearful.
Also …
Sun Ruinian's gaze swept across the stage. His gaze couldn't help but fall on the beautiful girl with a smile on her face, who was chatting with her companions next to her. He was a little hesitant and hesitant in his heart.
The opponent's jungler was also a little unfathomable to him.
…
"Congratulations to the Shanghai TV Gaming Association for taking the first victory in the first match ~"
On the commentary platform, Mo Sheng said with a face full of smiles. He then turned his head to look at his partner, Liu Huo.
"Look, Liu Huo. Just now, the performance of the Widow Jungler team in the middle of the group battle was not bad, right?"
Previously, Liu Huo had been using An Xin's widow jungler as an issue.
Hearing Mo Sheng's teasing question, a tinge of awkwardness flashed across Liu Huo's face, but he still coughed and tried to maintain his tone as normal as possible.
"Hmm, not bad indeed."
"Widow's performance in the middle phase of the team battle is much better than before."
At this time, even Liu Huo could not possibly make any more harsh comments.
Even the praise he was giving now was not enough.
In reality, Anxin's Widow Jungler's performance in the previous team battles was flawless. Her awareness and foresight were enough to impress even professional players.
"But it's also because Fuzhou University of Science and Technology was too careless."
"They did not prepare their vision well. Otherwise, they would not have suffered the same loss so many times."
In the end, Liu Huo could not help but comment:
"If they had prepared for this, Widow would not have been able to gain much of an advantage just now."
Mo Sheng, who was sitting at the side, could hear the meaning in Liu Huo's tone. She shook her head helplessly.
She really could not understand why this commentator partner of hers hated the Shanghai TV Games Association team so much. Even though the latter had won the first match so beautifully, they still could not get any good comments from Liu Huo.
But she had to admit that Liu Huo was right on one point.
In the first match that had just ended, the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team on the blue side had done too little in terms of vision. That was why the Widow Jungler on the purple side had made full use of it.
But in the next match that was about to start, the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team would have learned their lesson.
In that case, if the jungler from the Shanghai TV Gaming Association wanted to do the same thing, it might not be as smooth.
…
Very quickly, the second match began amidst the cheers and applause from the audience.
The blue and purple sides of the two teams switched. The Shanghai Telecommunications Association team switched to the blue side and chose to ban first.
In just a few short minutes, the lineups of both teams for the second match were quickly projected on the spectator screens. At the same time, it caused a huge uproar in the audience.
On the purple side, Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team: Top lane Rambo, Mid lane Small Fishman, Jungler Excavator, Big Mouth and support Bull Head.
On the blue side, Shanghai Telecommunications Association team: Top lane Gnar, Mid lane Tribulation, Wild Scarecrow, Explorer A and support Japanese Girl.
What caused an uproar among the audience was the blue team's jungler choice.
Scarecrow.
Doombringer Feldtik.
The spectators weren't the only ones who reacted this way. Even the high school battle teams' members in the spectator stands couldn't help but gasp in surprise, their faces filled with astonishment.
Scarecrow jungler?
This move of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team … what kind of tricks were they playing?
Generally speaking, Wild Scarecrow appeared more frequently in the low to mid-tier random matches in the local server. However, it was less common in the mid to high-tier ranked matches.
This was because the Scarecrow jungler's greatest use was its ultimate move in the mid to late team battles.
"Crows Storm".
"If it's placed well, four or five of them can be hit in one big move, and the opponent team will be wiped out immediately."
Liu Huo commented casually from the commentator's seat with a slight disdain.
"But precisely because the Scarecrow's ultimate move takes too long to start, it can be easily interrupted. Hence, they have to find a suitable position to block the opponent's blind spot. Otherwise, once they see you use your ultimate move, they will immediately retreat and you can't do anything about it.
"Especially in the high tier matches, everyone knows that they have to guard against the Scarecrow's ultimate move. Their vision and vision are all done as if it's free —
"Then the threat of the Scarecrow will be greatly reduced."
At this point, Liu Huo paused. He could not help but smile mockingly.
"Just now, you said that the Fuzhou University of Science and Technology team would definitely learn their lesson and pay more attention …
"In the end, you immediately chose a Scarecrow to jungler.
"It's obvious that they are being targeted."
"Aren't they just throwing their lives away?"
Mo Sheng did not speak up for the Shanghai Telecommunications Association team.
The pretty female commentator from the "Storm of Esports" gaming media company had a faint look of worry and confusion on her face. She could not understand why the representative team of the Shanghai TV Game Association would bring out Scarecrow, a jungler with a very high risk factor in this round.
…
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
The two commentators on the commentator's seat did not have high hopes either.
However, in the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's competition room, Lin Feng and the other four players were still in a relaxed mood.
Ceng Rui was still a little worried. He frowned and looked at An Xin.
"Are you confident?"
He was also very clear about the Scarecrow's characteristics.
It was a double-edged sword. It looked like the effect of an ultimate move. If it was used well, the opponent would immediately explode. But if it was not used well … it would explode on their side.
An Xin pursed her lips and smiled.
"Don't worry."
"My Scarecrow … will also be very strong ~"
As she said that, the girl's face carried a faint smile and confidence.
The way he spoke was exactly the same as a certain someone's catchphrase.
At this moment, Lin Feng was also excitedly chatting with Zhang Hao.
"Hey, Hao 'zi, did you see that? The opponent's midlaner is a small fishman!"
