You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 107 Part 2

The next day, the other teams participating in the competition also arrived at Xiamen one after another. Early in the morning, Xiao Rui went out to arrange skirmishes for the B team for the next few days. The players from both the A and B teams were led by their coaches to an  internet cafe near the hotel to do some training matches.

Just like at the base, the A team players would sit behind the B team players during the match and tell the B team kids better ways to handle the situation, or when to cast abilities, or when to hold their position, or when to move up.

-- --The B team at the moment was playing a skirmish with a team called RMB, which was a junior league team. It wasn’t too difficult for ZGDX’s B team to handle RMB since they were one of the strongest teams in the junior league and very likely to move up to the major league this year……

Besides, RMB was ranked a second tiered team even in the junior league.

“The other side has put a ward at red buff. Their jungler was at top a few dozen seconds ago. If he wants to go to bot, he would go get the buff first. You should place a ward so you don’t get caught unaware.”

-- --It was Little Fatty’s voice and Alkaid responded with mhm, mhm.

“Is bot about to reach level 6? Check your farm, check the mini map; if your teammate ad is leading in farm then you need to calculate the right moment, don’t wait till your teammate calls you then teleport to support him. Look for the correct timing on your own. If your team’s ad is under pressure, then you should prevent the other side’s top from teleporting before you……”

-- --It was Old Cat’s voice and B team’s top silently nodded.

“Don’t bother looking at it. Stay safe at bot. Your opponent is Speed Star and he has Jinx. You’re no match for him.”

-- --It was Lu Sicheng’s flat voice. Dubhe didn’t respond at all, only the sound of him clicking on the mouse became louder.

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao turned her head to take a glance at the pair of ads who didn’t get along, then turned back to reach over to click the keyboard of the person in front of her. She took a look at the stats amid the protest of the person in front. The game had started for ten minutes now and bot was truly behind, over 20 minions. Bot was in bad shape.

Tong Yao jabbed the back of the person in front: “Who’s Speedy Star? How come your brother knows so much about the ad of a second tiered team in the junior league?”

Lu Yue replied after a short silence: “You don’t have anything more technical other than gossip to say to me?”

Tong Yao: “I do.”

Lu Yue: “What?”

Tong Yao: “The opponent’s mid obviously is afraid of you and you’re so timid as well. Are the two of you prepared to stay put under each of your turrets and never cross the river? There’s no lane phase in mid lane in this match. I’ve watched for ten minutes and don’t even know what skin the other side’s Leblanc is using today. You two are really something, playing the game like this.”

Lu Yue: “......Speedy Star isn’t some third rate ad. A couple years ago when my brother just came back to the league, Speedy Star was the first ad of team CK and very strong, really strong, especially when he’s using Jinx and Ashe. He is particularly good at using their ultimates. At that time, he was at least on a par with my brother.”

Tong Yao widened her eyes: “Yi yi yi yi yi?”

Lu Yue handled his champion to walk out of the turret towards the other side and the other side’s mid appeared: “See, it’s the Elderwood skin, see it? Now that you’ve seen it, don’t force me to come out or I’ll go back to being timid. To develop steadily is halfway to winning the game-- --Back to gossip-- --Later on, CK didn’t do well at the world tournament that year and Speedy Star was the one who took the blame. He died seconds into the team fight, messed up his team’s positioning, stayed put in lane and couldn’t fight against anyone. The audience at home was very disappointed at him. Tieba at the time almost exploded.”

“How so?”

“Everyone was making an uproar to tell him to come back and stop shaming the country. Some told him to swim back, that he wasn’t worth the price of the airline ticket.” Lu Yue frowned while remembering: “Some cursed the airplane hoping it’d crash. Anyway, he was trashed pretty badly-- --After the team came back, CK couldn’t take the pressure and switched Butterfly, the current ad, as its first ad for the Spring season next year. The original idea was just to let Speedy Star lie low for the moment. But he couldn’t take it and switched to a club in the minor league……”

“......What’s his reason?”

“Striving for vindication, he wanted to lead a junior team and fight its way back to the major league by himself and like giving a hard slap to those trolls.”

“......And the result?”

“The result is that even you, as a professional player, don’t know who Speedy Star is.”

“......”

“It’s quite common. And not necessarily for vindication. Sometimes it’s because a player refused to take defeat or for more money that he would willingly move down to the junior league and always thought that since he’s such a good player, he would fight back to the major league one day……”
