Chi Shuo felt that something was wrong when he saw the words in the chat. There were many experts in the international server, but there were also many scammers, especially around the 10-star King rank. There were all kinds of monsters.
He was paired with Ye Shaoyang in the jungler. The fourth and fifth floors were also paired together. There was only one explanation for the system to match the four of them together — the opponent was too strong, so they were matched with four stronger players.
The four of them had a high hidden score, and their win rate was over 90%.
This meant that the opponent was about the same, and it was likely that there were also two pairs of players with a high win rate.
Chi Shuo guessed, "There should be many smurfs of professional players in this game."
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Then I won't use the smiley face, or else I'll be exposed."
At the Fire-mark team's base. Coach Li pointed at the screen excitedly. "Give the Sun and Moon duo a spot. Let them play the jungler. Let's see their cooperation!"
Zhou Jiawen thought so too, so he typed a prompt on the pre-selection interface. "I'll play marksman."
Jin Minjun, who knew a little Chinese, sent a voice message in confusion. "You, mid laner, give him a spot?"
Zhou Jiawen explained, "Sun and Moon are experts. Let them play mid laner and jungler."
Jin Minjun: "Are they experts from China?"
Zhou Jiawen: "No, I don't know them. A few days ago, a rookie in Mitchell's team bumped into them and sent me a video of a game. The two of them cooperated very well, so they should be professional players. "
Jin Minjun was also interested. "Okay, then I'll play support."
Both sides began the BP.
The BP of the international server was to ban a hero on the third, fourth, and fifth floors.
The opponent banned [Cobra King] first, and then it was their turn on the third floor. Ye Shaoyang banned [Frost Goddess] in the mid lane. He was not afraid of Frost Goddess, but the pro player's Frost Goddess was very effective against summoning heroes like White Wolf King. His little wolf would be instantly killed if it ran into the range of the skill.
The opponent's second ban was [Stealth Thief], which was a common jungler system.
Coach Li: "We'll ban [Machine Gun Hunter]. We'll ban him."
Zhou Jiawen did as he was told.
The opponent's third Ban was Mid Laner [Goddess of Flames].
Coach Li said, "Eliminate [Doomsday Hammer], the support of Qiang Kai."
Jin Minjun heard it in the live chat and followed the coach's instructions to ban Doomhammer.
The passer-by players on the first floor trembled. Why was this BP like a professional league?
Usually, when everyone played Ranked, they would just blindly ban randomly. However, in today's match, just based on BP alone, both sides quickly eliminated the Poison Team, the Fire Team, the Tower Pushing Style, the Wild Core Style, and the Forced Open Team … They directly eliminated five sets of systems!
At the hero selection stage.
Our first floor player chose [Paladin] and typed, "Okay?"
Coach Li: "Ok, ok!"
Zhou Jiawen held back his laughter and said, "The passersby on the first floor probably noticed that the atmosphere is not right."
The opponent's first and second floor chose the common bottom lane combination of [Forest Messenger] + [Holy Spirit Archer]. When it was their turn, Chi Shuo didn't rush to get the hero. Instead, he marked the game and said, "I'll help you get it."
Coach Li understood. "It's not good for him to directly use the jungler hero on the second floor. It's easy to be countered. Let's take the bottom lane duo first. Leave the jungler position for him until the end. "
Ye Shaoyang also helped to snatch. Thus, the archers and support on the fourth and fifth floor automatically switched positions and got the bottom lane combination of [Cannoneer] and [Radiant Shield] first.
The opponent's third and fourth floor instantly eliminated [Ninja] and [Nightmare].
Coach Li was deep in thought. "Ninja jungler? Could it be that Fujita from Japan's GOW team? "
Zhou Jiawen said, "It's possible."
Immediately after, their side's fourth and fifth floor instantly eliminated [Black Wolf] and [White Wolf King]. Coach Li's jaw almost dropped. "Damn, the Black and White Wolf King combination that disappeared for many years?! Why didn't they play a threesome and changed to a pair of wolves?! "
Jin Minjun said excitedly, "This ninja should be Fujita Naoya SAMA. His ID is very familiar!"
Zhou Jiawen helplessly facepalmed. "It's very familiar."
Coach Li muttered, "This match is almost comparable to the group stage of the World Series."
There was also an innocent passerby on the other side. When he saw this, he fearfully chose the top lane [Blood Knight]. I'm tanky and I can suck blood. I just want to die less. You guys go fight somewhere else. Don't come to my top lane ~!
Both sides' lineups were quickly determined.
On the blue side, the Paladin was top lane. The Black and White Wolf Kings were mid laners. The Radiant Shield and Cannoneer were bottom laners.
On the red side, the Blood Knight was top laners. The Ninja and Nightmare were mid laners. The Forest Messenger and Holy Spirit Archer were bottom laners.
Looking at this line-up, the core of the fight was in the jungle.
When the match started, Chi Shuo immediately marked the opponent's blue BUFF jungle.
[Black Wolf] was stronger in the early stages of the game. Most heroes only had one skill at the start of the game, but [Black Wolf] could transform at the start. Although the transformation at the start was only a change in form and there was no big move in "Hunting Mode", the transformation in form was equivalent to having two skills. His movements were more flexible.
Ye Shaoyang knew that Chi Shuo was going to invade and quickly followed.
The support and archer at the bottom lane also cooperated and followed.
Cooperating with the jungler's rhythm at the start of the game was a more common way to play high-end games. There was no rush to clear the first wave of minions because they would stay for a while after they met. There was still time to return to the game after they finished fighting in the jungle.
Therefore, the four professional players on the other side came to the blue BUFF area.
They met the other four professional players who had been waiting there for a long time.
Both sides were stunned when they met in the jungle.
Why was the start so fierce? Did they start a team in a 4v4 jungle?
Chi Shuo pressed the button [Attack]!
There was nothing to be afraid of in a 4v4. It was a good opportunity to test each other.
Their support, [Radiant Shield], quickly raised his shield and rushed forward. [Cannoneer] followed from a distance. Ye Shaoyang's [White Wolf King] and Chi Shuo's [Black Wolf] launched a surprise attack at the same time —
[White Wolf King]'s strength at the start of the game was that it could accumulate small wolves with its Q skill. Ye Shaoyang had been accumulating wolves since he left the Crystal Gate. When he reached the jungle, he had already accumulated three wolves. A wave of small wolves suddenly attacked and directly pounced on the opposing jungler, [Ninja]!
Although everyone's equipment was very poor at the start of the game, the small wolves' bites would stack a bleeding effect. The opposing [Ninja] was hit by three layers of bleeding and his HP quickly fell below 50%!
Zhou Jiawen's [Cannoneer] took the opportunity to throw a cannon from a distance. The cannon exploded and the opposing players lost a lot of HP. Chi Shuo seized the opportunity and launched a few basic attacks in his human form from a distance. Then, he immediately turned into a wolf and launched a surprise attack —
He wanted to kill the opposing jungler in an instant. However, the opposing Ninja was very smart. After his HP was low, he immediately left a shadow clone and disappeared. Chi Shuo couldn't kill him in an instant, so he turned around and pounced on the mid laner, King of Nightmares —
King of Nightmares was also very troublesome in the mid lane. He had a strong control skill that could make people sleep.
Almost as soon as Chi Shuo moved, he immediately used his sleep skill to control Chi Shuo in place.
Chi Shuo was hit a few times by the opposing Holy Spirit Archer from a distance, and his HP was low. Little White Wolf chased after King of Nightmares and also killed the opposing team. Zhou Jiawen's cannon skill was on cooldown, so he hid at the back and attacked. After the two sides exchanged skills …
A clear song sounded in their ears, and the Forest Messenger activated group healing.
Chi Shuo [Start Retreat]!
Zhou Jiawen [Start Retreat]!
The marks were pressed almost at the same time. Their analysis of the situation was the same.
They couldn't win.
The opposing team had a healer. Although the healer's HP was low at the start of the game, their damage was not enough after a wave of skills. They almost couldn't kill the opponent, so there was no need to continue fighting.
Chi Shuo retreated very quickly. In his wolf form, he directly jumped over the wall and ran away. The opposing archer wanted to chase after him, but their support stood there with a shield to block the opponent's position.
Ye Shaoyang also quickly retreated to the mid lane.
The opposing Ninja disappeared. Chi Shuo sensed that something was wrong and quickly returned to the blue zone.
Sure enough, after the Ninja was killed, he quietly took a long detour and came to my jungle to steal my mana! Fortunately, Chi Shuo discovered it early. When he rushed over, the blue buff still had 1500 HP.
Chi Shuo jumped over the wall in his wolf form and bit the blue buff. He instantly used Judgement to snatch the blue buff back. Ye Shaoyang came to help with Little White Wolf. The opposing Ninja sensed that something was wrong and once again left behind a shadow clone and ran away.
Ye Shaoyang saw this and couldn't help but say, "The opposing jungler is very calm."
Chi Shuo said, "Let's develop first. We can't kill him in the early game without crowd control."
The first wave of junglers didn't succeed. After exchanging a wave of skills, both sides retreated. Both junglers started the game with double buffs. Chi Shuo's jungler started the game to test the opponent's strength. It would be best if he could kill the Ninja in one move. If he couldn't, he would wait until level 6 to find another opportunity.
Both sides developed steadily for a period of time. Chi Shuo's Black Wolf quickly reached level 6.
He came to the bottom lane. However, the opposing jungler set his sight on the bushes in my jungle and immediately retreated when he saw his movement. Chi Shuo didn't find an opportunity to gank him this time. He could only wait patiently.
The opposing jungler wanted to attack the mid lane, but Ye Shaoyang's sense of smell was very sharp. He sensed that the opposing mid laner, Nightmare, was moving slightly forward. He immediately flashed and retreated to the bottom of the tower!
Sure enough, Nightmare's Sleep was out of range and couldn't control him. If he hadn't flashed just now, once Nightmare controlled him, the Ninja would have been nearby and could have taken him away in an instant.
This was the importance of one's sense of smell. Sometimes, you could guess that the opposing jungler might be waiting for you based on the slight changes in the opponent's positioning. If you ran away in time to save your life, you might lose your life if you hesitated for 0.1 seconds.
Ye Shaoyang returned to the city from the bottom of the tower in fear.
Nightmare and Ninja, the strength of this tandem was that they could control one of them and kill one of them instantly! Nightmare had strong control and Ninja could sneak attack from behind. With the two of them working together, they could even kill a Warrior, let alone a weak mid laner.
Ye Shaoyang said to Chi Shuo as he returned, "The opposing jungler is in the mid lane."
Chi Shuo said, "Okay, prepare the Little Dragon."
At the beginning of the game, both junglers didn't succeed in their first attempt until everyone reached level 6.
They wouldn't release the Little Dragon in the first wave, right?
After killing the Little Dragon, the whole team would receive a financial bonus.
Chi Shuo marked the Little Dragon. The top laners on both sides were passersby. They were too far away and didn't plan to come over. They continued to throw skills at each other alone in the top lane.
The mid lane and bottom lane duo quickly gathered near the Dragon Pit.
After a 4v4 battle, Chi Shuo pressed the in-game prompt: [Go up and start a team]!
Jin Minjun played very fiercely and played the support like a Warrior. After seeing the prompt, he suddenly flashed to the back row and smashed the opponent's head with his shield, stunning the opposing archer!
The opposing archer ran away with Purification.
But what awaited him were the four Little Wolves that Ye Shaoyang had hidden in the grass.
The four Little Wolves pounced ferociously and bit the archer until he bled.
Just as the opposing support was about to cast an ultimate to heal, Ye Shaoyang suddenly turned into his human form and cast AoE Fear!
The White Wolf King's two-second Fear crowd control was just enough to control the archer and support.
Chi Shuo immediately moved and launched a Hunting Raid from a distance, killing the opposing archer in one move!
First Blood!
After killing the archer, Black Wolf's ultimate was refreshed. He turned back into his wolf form and jumped over the wall to escape. He temporarily retreated from the battlefield and continued to look for opportunities.
Black Wolf's playstyle was just like that. He was flexible and changeable. After a set, he would run away and seize the opportunity to suddenly jump in and kill people. He would constantly enter and leave, disrupting the battle.
With the opponent's archer suddenly dead, they were supposed to win this round.
Zhou Jiawen hid in the grass in the distance and was about to throw a cannon at the opposing team when suddenly, a sharp knife slid across his throat and a critical hit -1200 popped up above his head!
Zhou Jiawen was shocked and hurriedly flashed away, but the next moment, the opposing mid lane used Sleep to control him and killed him instantly.
Zhou Jiawen was speechless.
Playing as an archer is so tiring. Two people circling around to catch me. Is it necessary?!
It seemed that both junglers were staring at the opposing archer. This one for one caused the situation to become a 3v3.
Jin Minjun couldn't help but complain, "This ninja must be Fujita Naoya. He's like a ghost!"
Zhou Jiawen corrected him. "Like a ghost."
Jin Minjun: "Oh."
Jin Minjun raised his shield and stood there, wanting to protect the Black and White Wolf Kings as they retreated. However, this duo didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. The four Little White Wolves were actually starting to flank them?
The Black Wolf also circled around from a distance and surrounded the bushes above the Dragon Pit with the White Wolf King. Seeing this, Zhou Jiawen's eyes lit up — this was the rhythm of a head-on confrontation with the opposing midlaner combination!
Ye Shaoyang's goal was very clear. He wanted to kill the mid laner!
Nightmare's stab was very explosive. She could control the opponent and kill them in one set. However, her weakness was also very obvious. After one set, she would be out of skills. As long as the White Wolf King didn't die, it could chase after the opponent and bite!
Ye Shaoyang made use of this characteristic. After the Little White Wolf bit the opposing archer, he quickly circled over to find the opposing mid laner.
Sure enough, he found Nightmare in the bushes, who was preparing to retreat!
The little wolf pounced over and bit [Incubus], causing her to bleed. [Incubus] sensed that something was wrong and immediately flashed into the Dragon Pit, wanting to escape. However, the black wolf that had been waiting at the side jumped over the wall in its wolf form and viciously bit her to death!
Chi Shuo got a double kill!
Ye Shaoyang looked around vigilantly. Sure enough, the masked ninja in black appeared behind him and dealt a critical hit that took away a large chunk of his health points! Ye Shaoyang hurriedly used W to teleport the Little White Wolf back to its master's side.
Pack of Wolves Protect Master!
This skill had to be used quickly so that the Little White Wolf could block the critical damage for him. Ye Shaoyang's sense of smell was very sharp. He and Chi Shuo had surrounded and killed the opposing mid laner. The opposing jungler couldn't just watch the show. He would definitely think of a way to kill him.
Therefore, his finger was already on the W key. The moment he sensed that something was wrong, he immediately pressed it!
The ninja's critical hit killed all his Little White Wolves. Ye Shaoyang was lucky enough to survive and escape with a sliver of HP.
This team battle was a 1 for 2 trade.
Our side had a slight advantage. Chi Shuo got a double kill.
The Little White Wolf was left untouched for the time being. No one dared to attack it again.
The game continued, and the two sides started a tug-of-war again.
Zhou Jiawen quickly discovered that the opposing bottom lane duo was playing very cautiously. After equipping the Forest Messenger, its healing ability was very strong. If they fought to wear it down, the combination of Cannoneer and Radiant Shield was no match for them.
The bottom lane was gradually pushed back to the bottom of the tower.
Jin Minjun couldn't help but ask, "Who are the opposing two?"
Zhou Jiawen said, "They are professional archers and support. I don't know which team they are from."
The support archer duo had too many experts in the international server. The opposing team also chose the common combination of Forest Messenger and Holy Spirit Archer. It was indeed difficult to distinguish them.
Zhou Jiawen and Jin Minjun were both world-class players, but archers and support were not their strengths. There was nothing to say when they were pushed back to the bottom of the tower by the professional archer duo. The two of them hid and cleared the troops to defend.
The Nakano duo was a real fight between gods!
After being killed once, Incubus seemed to be unconvinced. He hid in the bushes for an ambush. The moment Ye Shaoyang appeared, he directly blinked over to control Ye Shaoyang. The Ninja hiding next to him burst out and killed Ye Shaoyang.
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
Was he that fierce? 2v1, treat me as if I have no teammates!
After a while, Ye Shaoyang, who had revived, called Chi Shuo and went to the opposite jungler's path to set up an ambush. The two of them worked together with explosive hand speed and killed the opposite [Ninja] set. They also stole a red buff at the same time.
An eye for an eye, that was how fierce it was.
The two sides fought back and forth.
In the blink of an eye, the headcount became 11: 11. The situation was in a stalemate.
Only the two players in the top lane continued to 1v1. The jungler Black Wolf didn't go to the top lane, and the jungler Ninja didn't go to the top lane either. They seemed to have been forgotten.
In fact, the junglers on both sides had a certain tacit understanding. They didn't go to the top lane to bully the average players.
They only targeted the mid-tier and low-tier pro players!
15 minutes into the game, the bottom lane's outer tower was destroyed.
18 minutes into the game, Zhou Jiawen and Jin Minjun took advantage of the fact that the opposing team's support archer duo had returned home and quickly pushed back.
20 minutes. If this was a normal ranking, it would be over by now. However, in this game, only one bottom lane tower had been destroyed so far. The two sides began to work together to push the middle lane.
In the end, after five minutes of tugging and pulling in the middle lane, the minions kept being cleared. No one could push back.
The back and forth tugging and pulling made the situation reach a stalemate. Coach Li couldn't help but say, "Our lineup actually has the advantage. We have two crowd control players! The opposing team only has one Forest Messenger's crowd control and one Incubus's single target control. "
Zhou Jiawen smiled and said, "We might be able to win if we team up. It depends on what the Sun and Moon combination thinks."
Chi Shuo frowned and temporarily retreated. He marked Ye Shaoyang and said, "Go around the back."
The two tacitly went around the bushes and pretended to go to the top lane.
The top lane players saw the black and white wolves' avatars on the minimap heading towards them. They became nervous and silently said, "Don't come over!" They quickly retreated to the bottom of the tower and didn't dare to show their heads.
Only Zhou Jiawen and Jin Minjun saw that the two of them didn't go to the top lane. Instead, they turned into wolves and climbed over the wall that had no vision. They went around to the opposite jungle and squatted there.
Zhou Jiawen's eyes lit up. He pressed the notification: [Attack]!
Jin Minjun saw that the black and white wolf kings were in position. Although he only had about 20% HP left and would die if he went out, he still jumped over decisively. He rushed into the crowd and used a crowd control skill —
The opposing team's healer was healing the archer. The two of them were standing close to each other, so they were stunned.
Zhou Jiawen was dying, but he still took a step forward boldly and aimed at the opposing team to throw a big move!
The large-scale explosion of the cannon took half of the opponent's HP away from the stunned players.
Ye Shaoyang, who was lying in ambush, immediately released his wolf cubs. The four wolves split up and bit the healer and archer. In the blink of an eye, the healer and archer were left with only a sliver of HP. Seeing that the stun was about to end, Ye Shaoyang decisively turned into a human and used Group Fear —
Seamless Control!
Chi Shuo's best opportunity to enter the game.
Everyone only saw a black shadow flash before their eyes.
The black wolf's movements were as fast as lightning. It pounced from a distance and bit the healer to death in an instant!
With the healer around, he couldn't complete the harvest. Once the healer died, it would be time for the black wolf to slaughter.
Zhou Jiawen's cannon and Ye Shaoyang's wolf cubs destroyed the opposing team. The black wolf entered the game at this time, killed the healer, transformed, and continued to kill the archer. After killing the archer, it transformed again and chased after the archer!
The opposing team's midlaner ran fast, but the midlaner couldn't outrun the black wolf who could jump over walls.
The black wolf quickly caught up with her and killed [Succubus] with a critical hit.
— Double Kill!
— Triple Kill!
Chi Shuo took down three kills in one go!
At the same time, the opposing team's ninja also quickly killed their archer and support with low HP. However, Ye Shaoyang used the wolf pack's protection skill to save his life. Then, he took his wolf cubs and chased after the ninja together with Chi Shuo.
The two wolves led their four minions and jumped over walls in the canyon to chase after the masked man in black.
The ninja in black was chased by six wolves. He couldn't outrun them no matter how hard he tried. Could a human outrun a wolf?
In the end, the ninja was bitten by the black wolf from a distance!
Zhou Jiawen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this scene.
Being chased by six wolves was the most disgusting thing about the black and white wolf king combination. Trying to escape? No way!
Jin Minjun laughed loudly. "Fujita is so angry. Being chased by wolves and bitten, how miserable, hahaha."
Zhou Jiawen reminded him, "Don't gloat. In future competitions, you'll also be chased and bitten by wolves. This pair of experts must be professional players. "
Jin Minjun's laughter got stuck in his throat. "… Right."
Thinking of himself being chased and bitten by wolves, Jin Minjun couldn't laugh anymore. He asked seriously, "Which team is practicing the black and white wolf kings? Quickly go and investigate. "
Zhou Jiawen said helplessly, "Why is everyone asking me to investigate? I'm not Detective Zhou! "
When Mitchell saw the two of them, he immediately sent a screenshot to ask Zhou Jiawen if he knew them. He had debuted in the international server, but he might not know all the experts in the international server.
In this match, he and Jin Minjun didn't perform well. They chose positions that they weren't good at.
However, the team battle just now was not bad. Jin Minjun controlled the two opponents, and Zhou Jiawen followed up with a big move, Cannon, and destroyed the opponents. The white wolf king's seamless use of fear was very good.
All these laid the foundation for the black wolves' harvest.
When the bottom lane was facing the lane, they were suppressed in the early stages.
However, this was how competitions were. Often, the victory of a team battle could turn the tide of the battle.
In the team battle just now, Chi Shuo managed to get four kills with the help of his teammates.
The black wolves' economy skyrocketed, and they had all their equipment.
The opposing team's nakano was actually very good. However, they couldn't do anything when their equipment was crushed. In the end, the match ended in 30 minutes, and they won by a small margin.
Before the match ended, the opposing ninja player [Ninja33] typed in the public screen: "Good Job!"
It was followed by a question: "Professional Pye?"
Professional player?
Ye Shaoyang and Chi Shuo looked at each other. Ye Shaoyang resisted the urge to smile and replied ambiguously: "You # 039 are great, too ~"
You're great too.
The opposing player: "…"
The match ended, and they added each other as friends. System Notification: The opposing player rejected the friend request.
Looking at the battle record, the opposing player hid their historical battle record.
In Japan's GOW team base, Fujita Naoya frowned. His teammate playing [Incubus] was also confused. "Captain, where did these experts come from? I've never seen them before."
Fujita was deep in thought. "It's early in the morning. Esports players like to play ranked games and practice Heroes at this time. Looking at the time, they should be from the Asian region. Playing ranked games in the middle of the night, they're probably from Korea."
Jin Minjun: "Could these two be from Singapore? I heard that there's a team in Singapore that has good results. "
Zhou Jiawen: "I'm guessing they're from the European region. They played ranked games at 8 in the morning two days ago. From the time difference, it was early in the morning over there. We met them at 12 o 'clock tonight, which is exactly noon in Europe. "
Jin Minjun: "That makes sense! Mitchell doesn't know them either. They must be Europeans! "
Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang, who were given different nationalities: "???"
Cough, we're just esports players who sleep early and wake up early.
