Chapter 588 KPL Da Competition 2
Xiao Chen saw her pretending not to understand, even though she clearly did, and felt both angry and helpless.
These days, she had been sleeping at the YYD eSports Club for training, leaving him helpless even if he wanted to do something.
The coach walked in and said, "Get ready, it’s our turn to play. Our first match is against SG team, and SG team’s support and marksman are very in sync. Lan Ying and Qing Que, take note."
"Okay."
"Cheer up! I’ll be watching you from the stands!"
Ruan Yingtao made a fighting gesture.
The team walked into the arena to a wave of cheers.
"God Yue, God Yue!"
"YYD, YYD!"
Ruan Yingtao sat at the best spot in the audience, stirred by the loud voices behind her.
After more than two years, Yueyue was back on the stage with so many fans still supporting her.
The picking of heroes began.
"Banned the opponents’ support and marksman’s best heroes."
After choosing heroes, both teams had similar line-ups.
"Let’s invade the enemy’s jungle; we can strike a blow there," Yun Yue glanced at the mini-map, leading Yixing and Qing Que straight into the opponents’ jungle.
Her hero could clear the jungle quickly, which she could use to their advantage by invading the opponent’s jungle.
The enemies quickly came to help, but her Punishment spell had just come off cooldown. She used a displacement skill to secure the big jungle monster and snagged the kill on the opposing support.
...
Sixteen minutes later, YYD successfully claimed the first victory.
"Congratulations to YYD on the first victory. After two years, will YYD’s return mark them as the champions of this autumn’s KPL tournament? I really look forward to their performance."
With YYD’s first victory, not only were the team members thrilled, but the fans on site were even more ecstatic.
"Ahh! YYD won the first match, and God Yue’s skills were absolutely dazzling! God Yue is truly worthy of the name, retaining such formidable skill and technique even after two years of retirement!"
...
Complimenting voices rang out non-stop, creating a cacophony of cheers and celebrations.
The YYD team returned to the lounge, where their previously feigned calm immediately dissipated, and they began jumping around with joy.
They had not expected to win the first match so easily. As long as they could smoothly advance and hold out until the end, the championship would surely be theirs!
The next day, their opponent was Lang Team.
Like them, Lang Team had also won their first match. Losing this game meant they had to win another one or even two matches to advance to the next round.
Before the match even started, there was already a tense air between the two teams. The host knew how to stir things up, though he clearly favored Lang Team.
But the members of YYD didn’t seem to care. freewebnσvel.cѳm
They used to get upset, but now their hearts were undisturbed.
The best way to smash such talk was simply to win the game.
...
Bi Luo watched the jungler on the first floor: "Wang Nian has actually chosen this hero, seems they want to counter by invading our captain’s jungle first."
Yun Yue immediately selected her hero.
Qing Que also picked his hero. "Then I’ll choose this one to harass their jungle."
From the start, Wang Nian knew Qing Que was around, so his chance of invading the jungle was slim, and both sides farmed up by the rules.
Once both junglers had cleared their monsters, they each went to gank.
She targeted the enemy’s marksman, while Wang Nian went for Bi Luo. However, Bi Luo managed to successfully take down the enemy’s top laner.
They were three hundred gold in the lead.
It was clear both sides were playing cautiously, avoiding team fights without a sure chance and opting to pick off individuals instead.
Soon came the turning point of the game.
While the enemy was taking the Dragon King, she squatted in the brush, teleported over with Punishment, stole the Dragon King, and successfully escaped.
And Lan Ying’s team had already cleared the minion waves in the middle and bottom lanes by taking advantage of this opportunity.
"Damn it, didn’t we check the bushes? Why did she come out of that brush!" Wang Nian’s face turned dark with anger.
Originally, capturing that Dragon King would have allowed them to press directly into the enemy’s high ground. Unexpectedly, the enemy nabbed it, and now they can’t even take a team fight. They have to clear the minion waves, and there’s a good chance they could get caught out in a push.
"I’ll go cut the minion waves; don’t take any fights."
After the Dragon fell, he didn’t return to the base but hid in the enemy’s jungle instead, cutting the middle lane minions, and then immediately headed to the bottom lane.
Even if they discovered he was cutting the minions, they had no chance to catch him; his hero had multiple displacements.
Yun Yue adjusted their vision, "Ignore him. We have minions pushing in the top lane against him."
Qing Que went straight in with a flash to bite the enemy Mage. Bi Luo went in to tank damage and bait out abilities, Yun Yue dove in to kill them, and Lan Ying pushed the tower from behind.
As the minion wave was about to enter the crystal, Wang Nian was panicking as he was still recalling.
"Release your ultimates, clear the wave!"
"We can fight, we can fight; we still have another dragon and a super minion behind, just defend."
Yun Yue went to catch the minion wave, fearing it would be cut off by Wang Nian again.
Hidden in the bush, Wang Nian saw no opportunity, so he didn’t emerge and instead waited for his chance.
With Qing Que initiating in the front, Yun Yue reaping in front, and Yixing and Lan Ying dealing damage from behind, suddenly, Wang Nian made his move from behind.
"Wang Nian is flanking from behind, don’t worry about me, protect Lan Ying."
Qing Que glanced at the mini-map; he and Lan Ying went to intercept him.
Yun Yue and Yixing went straight past the tower to kill the marksman and the Mage, and Wang Nian also died.
"Tank the tower, tank the tower!"
The minion wave only had a sliver of health left; one tower shot or an ability would have eliminated it.
Yun Yue trapped the enemy’s top laner and support in the fountain to prevent them from reaching the minion wave, and ultimately their team successfully pushed down the enemy crystal.
"Congratulations to YYD on securing their second victory!"
The host’s voice filled the arena, accompanied by the screams of fans.
They each put down their phones and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was close, just by a hair."
The minion wave had been killed off by the support’s ability, and it was Qing Que and the support who tanked the tower to push it down.
Just a little bit more, and the enemy team would have all respawned. If they hadn’t taken down the tower, they would all have died in a counter-push.
Lan Ying wiped the sweat from his palms, "Exactly, I’m drenched in sweat, you can’t imagine how thrilling it was."
The two teams stood in the center of the stage, an intense aura of rivalry between them.
The faces of Lang Team’s members were not looking good, they were that close.
Bi Luo: "Sorry, there was a bit of luck in that game."
Yixing: "Look at you, luck is part of strength too. What’s the big deal? In a previous match, our captain single-handedly stole the enemy crystal, this is nothing."
The faces of Lang Team’s players turned even greener with wrath.
Qing Que: "What’s the use of winning a scrimmage? You still lose to us in the official matches."
Wang Nian’s expression wasn’t very good, "Don’t get too smug, who the champion will be is not yet decided!"
Bi Luo: "We’ll just have to wait and see."
Lang Team left the stage, and reporters gathered at the entrance, waiting to interview them.
"YYD scored two consecutive wins, does God Y have anything to say?"
Yun Yue faced the camera with a calm tone, "Of course I’m very happy to have advanced to the next round. Our goal is the KPL trophy, and of course, today’s victory wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of my teammates."
"May I ask..."
Yun Yue interrupted the reporter, "Sorry, I only answer one question. If you have anything else to ask, ask my teammates."
