You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 164 Part 2 

At the beginning of the match, OP’s mid, top, and jungler teamed up to get CK’s 4 raptors. They killed the raptors and met Yang god there! Yang god was forced to use flash to escape at low health. After drinking two health potions, Yang god managed to get their red buff, then he went home. OP’s jungler took the chance to steal CK’s blue buff and placed a ward in the bushes next to the blue buff.

Yang god certainly didn’t know the blue buff on his side of the jungle was gone. He walked out of the base, passed by the blue buff, and wandered about in the empty arena-- --He didn’t know that not only his blue buff was stolen, but that OP could also clearly see his movements. He tried to hide in the bushes to wait for OP’s bot duo but the duo didn’t come his way. He turned to steal OP’s blue buff at bot……

It wasn’t easy to steal the OP’s blue buff. OP seemed to have anticipated Yang god’s intentions. OP’s mid turned around and worked with their support to take down their own blue buff. Yang god came back empty-handed.

By then, 30 seconds had passed since the beginning of the game. It was crucial for a jungler in the first 30 seconds to accomplish something. Yet Yang god had wandered in the jungle for 30 seconds with nothing to show for it. If it were some other jungler, he might’ve gotten frustrated-- --

But Yang god was doing fine and managed to keep his cool.

However, he knew in his heart that his jungler rhythm had been completely messed up.

The disruption also affected the other lanes-- --

OP noticed that Yang god was at bot and their jungler immediately went up to top to attack CK’s top, Come Good Luck. At this point, both sides had just reached level 3 and Come Good Luck never expected the opponent would target his Gnar. He had pushed a bit too far to the opponent’s side of the lane and died.

Everyone in the break room called out “aiyo” in unison. Tong Yao heard Pope use Chinese to say to his teammates behind her: “CK isn’t good at playing a catching up game. OP is invincible when playing from an advantaged position.”

Tong Yao: “......”

She thought Pope had learned Chinese well and could even say invincible in Chinese.

Tong Yao used her elbow to nudge Lu Sicheng: “Then how do they turn the tables around?”

Lu Sicheng: “Use their heads.”

Tong Yao continued to prod him: “Speak nicely.”

Tong Yao asked again: “What would you do if it were you playing?”

Lu Sicheng patted her bottom to tell her to stop talking. Then he turned his head to discuss with Pope in Korean for a while. After he turned his head back, he took his time to say slowly: “Don’t know. It looks like all the things like stalling for more time or trying to gain control of the lanes won’t do. Maybe to grab a dragon? It’s important to boost morale…… Besides, it’s not just CK who isn't good at playing catch-up games, OP isn’t any good at it either.”

4 minutes 30 seconds into the game, OP was in the lead with one kill.

Tong Yao, after hearing Lu Sicheng’s explanation, stayed quiet and waited for CK to fight for the dragon.

The game played out just like how Pope had said earlier. CK’s players were all quite impetuous; when playing in a disadvantageous situation, they lacked patience and ignored the details. They kept looking for chances to start team fights-- --

The Korean teams, unlike Chinese teams, didn’t easily initiate a fight.

They liked to play a more stable game.

When CK found out that after 30 minutes they still weren’t able to get into a fight with OP, they grew anxious, fearing that they would slowly die like this-- --Then, a chance presented itself, OP was fighting Baron. CK went up to grab Baron; Yang god’s Lee Sin went down the arena and successfully used smite to steal Baron!

Everyone could clearly hear Jian Yang roar in the camera. The other CK players also had their spirits lifted. The commentators almost lost their voices from shouting too hard. The audience jumped up from their seats and the cheering boards were raised high up……

In the meantime, people in the breakroom were also marveling at the performance.

Tong Yao: “Ah!”

Tong Yao: “He just grabbed it! The other team’s jungler!”

Old K: “Speak nicely. You don’t want to completely break the friendship between our team’s mid and jungler, do you?”

Amidst all the cheering and applause, OP’s jungler simply laughed and shook his head in frustration-- --

With this small victory, CK won the first team fight with the help of the Baron buff that Yang god had stolen. In addition, CK was able to push the enemy turrets in all three lanes and earned back around 4000 gold. After doing all this, Baron’s buff ran out……

With Yang god’s success, CK’s players changed their passive playstyle. They discovered that they were good at team fights and instead of waiting for OP to initiate it, they chased after OP players to engage in another team fight. They lost two of their own but killed four of their enemy, they won again.

Tong Yao: “It’s spooky. CK knows how to play catch-up games now?”

Lu Sicheng: “OP has also lost their cool. If they didn’t respond to the challenge and just kept dragging the game on and building their strength, it would’ve been enough to let CK die on its own, but they had to get in the fight…… They’ll have to kneel on a washboard[1] after they get back.”

Tong Yao: “It’s good to get into the fight. The China region is good at fighting, welcome to the China region’s tempo.”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

[1]: 跪搓衣板 (guì cuō yī bǎn), literally means “kneeling on a washboard,” is a common joke about punishing people since a washboard’s surface is jagged, so kneeling on it would be particularly uncomfortable.
