Bai Cai was a support. It was all due to his shalessness that he was able to gain so much popularity in his live broadcast room.
Professional players were all like this. The other positions could all show off enough to reach the heavens, but for support players, the most important thing was stability and not bursts of amazing gaplay.
Brother Cai was very stable. He sat very firmly in the empress seat of the great demon kings throne, relying on indulging the little sister fans imaginations to and send himself up until he reached the popularity he had today.
Now
Brother Cai experienced what it ant to have it backfire.
Caicai! Your old gong has run off with your new lover!
The great demon king kicked away the empress and abducted his love rival?
This circle is really ssy, I dont have enough brainpower to keep up
Bai Cai simply closed the scrolling comnts and played dead.
Ning Zhehan sent over a team request. Bai Cai accepted it.
Little Ning: Brother Cai!
Bai Cai: Mm.
Brother Feng had sothing to do and told to double queue with you first.
Okay.
Bai Cai didnt even need to look at the scrolling comnts to know what they were saying
The out of favor team of two?
A story between four people. Are we supporting the wrong CP?
There was a more rational one, God Lu cant really want to sign this casual king, right?
Holy crap, maybe!
Where exactly did this jungler king co from?
Soone on Weibo is digging, this One Lamp Grandmaster is really damned amazing
It was a pity that Bai Cai had closed the scrolling comnts. Otherwise, he would definitely have stopped his live stream early and gone onto Weibo to guide public opinion. Unfortunately, he was engrossed in his livestream for a long ti.
By the ti he was done, One Lamp Grandmaster was already up on the hot search.
This was sothing for later. At this mont, Wei Xiaoxiao was well and truly flustered.
Wei Xiao was soone who hadnt been scared of anyone in his 19 years of life.
When he was a child, hed been invincible as he played all over the school yard. As he grew up, he beca both the school bully and the learning bully. Later, he beca addicted to gaming, but he was also able to kill gods when he encountered gods, and kill buddhas when he encountered buddhas.
Until he kicked an iron plate called Lu Feng.
Even when hed lost for 48 hours straight, Wei Xiao hadnt been afraid. Instead, hed been full of fighting spirit and dreams of winning against him.
But, hed run away.
At a ti like that, when Lu Feng had been full of appreciation and expectations for him, hed left.
It wasnt so much that he was scared of Lu Feng. It was more that he felt guilt and self-reproach.
If one had to be taphorical about his current mood, then it was probably like a reunion between a scum man whod run off after having sex and his ex-girlfriend.
Wei Xiao was the scum man.
Lu Feng was the ex-girlfriend.
F*ck! Wei Xiao had struck himself so thoroughly with lightning that he was charred outside and crispy inside.
Can you hear ? Lu Feng turned on the voice channel.
Wei Xiao: !
Although it was two years later, he was no stranger to Lu Fengs voice. After all, hed watched all the FTW competitions over the past two years and listened to all of Lu Fengs interviews.
Hed even squatted in his live broadcast studio and given him quite a few gifts even though Lu Feng seldom spoke.
I can hear you.
Wei Xiao was very careful when he spoke.
Lu Feng didnt say anything unnecessary, Ill start, then.
He chose to start the ga in anonymous mode.
Wei Xiao: Okay.
The interface began to search for players. Wei Xiao, who was usually bursting with words, was now as well behaved as a quail.
Of course, this didnt affect the crazy storm in his head
What did this an? What did Close an by this?!
Driving out Bai Cai and queuing for doubles with him. Was he in trouble or was he in trouble?!
If Lu Feng really asked about the matter from two years ago
Where was he supposed to get a New Oriental diploma from if Lu Feng wanted to see?!
Becoming a chef or whatever, if Wei Xiao really had that kind of dream, then he wouldnt need to nibble on bread every day!
The higher their rankings, the more difficult it was to match with other players.
In order to carry Bai Cai, Wei Xiao had used an alt account that was ranked 500th or so, but this couldnt block Lu Fengs high ranking. On average, the matching ti was very slow.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes
After three minutes of silence, Wei Xiao couldnt hold back anymore.
Wei Xiao: So
Lu Feng: No solo.
Wei Xiao:
How had he known he was going to say that?!
Lu Feng: Weve never played 5v5 together, right.
Wei Xiao paused, No.
In fact, they had.
During one off-season, Lu Fengs live broadcast studio had held an event where they drew fans for a 5v5 ga. Wei Xiao had been lucky enough to win the draw, and had even used a voice changer to act as a little sister and play as Lu Fengs support.
Lu Feng: We have?
This person must have installed a lie detector in his heart. How could he be so sharp!
No way. Wei Xiao didnt want to expose that kind of brain-damaged black history and began to talk nonsense, Wont the opposite side end up self-destructing their crystal if we queue for doubles together?
Lu Feng: Not necessarily.
Wei Xiaos desire to win instantly rose up, 100%. If I dont hamr them until they enter seclusion, Ill
He was just about to throw down the verbal gauntlet when he seed to beco aware of the risks and hurriedly shut up.
Just then, they were finally matched up with other players and entered the ga.
Dangerous, dangerous. Wei Xiao reminded himself that if he spoke less, hed end up in less trouble; if he didnt speak, hed be in no trouble, so he should shut up!
Lu Feng didnt follow up on his words and only asked him, What position are you playing?
Glory had five positions: top-lane, mid-lane, jungler, bottom lane, support.
Wei Xiao was best at the jungler position, of course, but Lu Feng was the number one jungler in China.
The two of them both played the sa position.
Wei Xiao: I can do anything.
After saying so, he realized that hed been unable to control his mouth once again and changed it to, I an, Im okay with anything.
Lu Feng laughed lightly, I know you can do anything.
Wei Xiao:
Being told that he could do anything by the one that the entire world recognized as being all-powerful, how co it made his thick skin feel a little hot?!
In fact Im not good at everything.
Its just being proficient with 11 heroes and 130 talent specs.
130? Its clearly 140 talent specs f*ck!
Wei Xiao finally realized. There were now 140 talent specs in Glory, but there had only been 130 two years ago.
Lu Fengs words were clearly repeating Wei Xiaos trash talk from two years ago.
He still rembered.
Wei Xiao felt Close might have a tiny bit more anger in his heart than hed thought.
You play jungler, then. Lu Feng said.
Wei Xiao really wanted to control his own mouth, Dont do that, if I play jungler, itll be too easy to win.
Lu Feng: Then Ill play it?
Wei Xiao choked.
Alright then, it wont even be about winning if you play as a jungler. The other side wont even have any kind of ga experience!
Wei Xiao picked the thief while muttering, Thats why I was saying, why rank? Solo is much more interesting.
Lu Feng said nothing and took an undead warrior.
Wei Xiao wasnt that surprised. Although Lu Feng could do anything, he still had so slight tendencies.
Compared with remote poke heroes, Lu Feng was better at the close combat assault heroes.
He was best at the assassin types, followed by warriors. Of course, he was also good at lee mages and short-ranged hunters.
When the ga began, Wei Xiao was a little absent-minded.
He didnt look down on team gas. In fact, he really loved 5v5. Leading a team to victory was very exciting, and he really liked it.
Otherwise, he wouldnt have led the youth training team to fight everywhere two years ago.
He just didnt want to see Lu Feng play 5v5.
To put it bluntly, he felt that the 5v5 canyon shackled Lu Feng.
A man who could clearly play at a level that reached the heavens was forcibly contained within a narrow cage. It made people angry when they saw it.
Lu Feng was very strong, but his teammates couldnt keep up.
It wasnt that obvious in dostic gas, but once they hit the grand finals where there were strong opponents everywhere, FTWs weakness beca all too clear.
Lu Feng had to cater to his teammates and didnt have any way to compete with his opponents.
If Lu Feng let loose, it would cause the entire team to lose coordination, and FTWs performance would beco even worse.
The haters often used this point to fla Lu Feng, saying that he was the cancer of the team, and the number one at being a round peg in a square hole. They begged for him to hurry up and give up the team competitions, and let the FTW team off.
Wei Xiao got angry whenever he saw stuff like that. Hed lobbed back several chunks of text, leaving the haters with blue noses and swollen faces, but they set their teeth into one point and refused to let go
If your Close has the ability, then bring back a team championship! What use is an individual championship?! Its only stupid fans who are praising him to the sky!
If there was no individual championship from Close, then the China competition zone would really have lost until even their underpants were gone, okay?!
Thinking about it made him angry, and Wei Xiaos attacks at the start of the ga were inevitably more fierce.
The gunner on the opposite side whod been caught and killed twice suffered a bit of a ntal breakdown: No way whats the deal with this jungler?
Did laozi match up with Close? Because theyd picked anonymous mode, the players who hadnt queued in with them couldnt see their opponents IDs and would see a codena instead.
You really did match with Close, but hes playing the undead warrior.
Wei Xiao typed out on the public channel, Be good, daddy loves you.
The gunner on the other side: Damn it, you just wait!
Later on, the gunner really managed to develop and indeed dealt so damage. It was very difficult for Wei Xiao to bypass the other sides support and cut him down, but
Your sides undead warrior has killed the opposing sides artillery gunner.
Wei Xiao couldnt cut his way in, but the undead warrior whod remained silent as he developed and could stand up tall in the second half of the ga then beca the real daddy of the entire map.
Killing spree! Rampage! Invincible! Dominating!
Legendary!
Amidst a series of system announcents, Lu Feng used the undead warrior to finish off the other sides resurrection crystal.
When they returned to the team room interface, Lu Feng: Top-lane is quite fun.
Wei Xiao: You had fun, but what about my gaming experience?!
Lu Feng was in a pretty good mood, Continue?
Although Wei Xiao had pretty much done nothing for the second half of the ga, hed still had a lot of fun playing, Go to the international server?
They should go big if they were going to play.
Lu Feng: Okay. You play jungler.
Wei Xiao: No problem!
Wei Xiao was just about to leave the room when Lu Feng spoke again, Add on WeChat.
Wei Xiaos heart leapt.
Lu Feng was very reasonable, Ill send the room link on WeChat.
That made sense, they werent even friends on the international server. If they wanted to queue together, they could only invite each other through a room link.
Wei Xiao paused for a mont and typed out his own WeChat account ID, WX7758521.
Lu Feng slowly read it out loud, Wei Xiao, kiss kiss , I love you?
Wei Xiao: F*ck!
After exiting the room, Wei Xiaos cell phone imdiately had a new friend application.
Seeing the na Close, he closed his eyes and approved it.
It was impossible for him to play professionally.
But being able to play queued gas with Close
Lu Feng soon sent over a room link. Wei Xiao clicked in, and the two of them went to the international server.
The international server was much fiercer than the dostic one, especially when it ca to ranked gas. The top 300 were almost all professional players, so they could et celebrities in any random match.
Lu Feng continued to use anonymous mode, and this ti, it didnt take long for them to enter a new ga.
Wei Xiao played a jungler, and Lu Feng continued to play top-lane.
These two positions werent very suitable for double queueing, because there wasnt much cooperation between the two positions in the early stage of the ga.
The top-lane position was also called the single lane because it was very lonely.
Most of the ti, the jungler would go for the mid-lane or bottom lane heroes. If they could maim the c-position, the greater part of the ga was already won.
The top-laners task was to solo against the opposite sides top-laner. It was best if they could kill them on their own, and if they couldnt, it also wasnt a loss to simply remain alive.
In a way, Lu Feng was very suitable for the top-lane. This was because his personal ability was too strong, and even the worlds current strongest top-lane Y God wouldnt be able to obtain any benefits from him in a 1v1 fight.
It was a pity that Lu Feng couldnt take the top-lane position, because top-laners werent suited for commanding the ga, and it was difficult for them to lead the rhythm of the team in a ga.
As Chen Feng had said, Lu Feng was the absolute core of FTW. If he went to the top-lane position, then it would be the sa as FTW losing their backbone, and it would end up in chaos.
Of course, there was no need to worry about these things in random matches.
Wei Xiao was the jungler, and Lu Feng went to the top lane. The two of them swept away all obstacles wherever they went.
They unwittingly queued and played for four hours. Wei Xiao was totally imrsed in it, and even urged when they returned to the room, Again, again!
Theyd accidentally lost in the last ga because their teammate had gone to answer a phone call in the middle of their last group fight. It was impossible for them to win in this kind of four against five situation.
Even Wei Xiao and Lu Feng couldnt save them from defeat when one of their team mbers sent over a free kill right at the start of the fight.
Lu Feng: Its not early anymore. Im going off first.
Wei Xiao: Youre already logging off? What ti is it
He looked at the ti and was shocked to find that it was already one oclock in the morning!
So fast? It didnt feel like it it seed as though the two of them had only played for a little while.
Wei Xiaos heart was full of disappointnt, but he couldnt really say anything.
Lu Feng quit the ga, and Wei Xiao queued for a ga on his own, but there wasnt much happiness involved.
Wei Xiao stretched, then heard a beep from his cell phone.
He picked it up. It was a WeChat ssage from Close
You play jungler very well.
Wei Xiaos eyes curved, and he engaged in mutual praise, Your top-lane is also very strong.
Close: Queue again tomorrow?
Wei Xiao: Yes!
Close: Youll still play jungler?
Wei Xiao: Okay!
Close: Do you want to solo?
Wei Xiaos heart leapt up to his throat, Yes!
Close: Do you want to co to FTW?
Wei Xiao, who was answering smoothly, Yes!
Wei Xiao, half a second later: F*ck!!!
Juurensha: Hahahaha, trap succeded!
xiin: WX: F*ck, my mouth is faster than my brain!
