Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 2
Xiang Nuan leaned back in the chair and exhaled. She sent a message to Min Lili: We won, ha.
Min Lili replied in seconds: Really? I'll post the news, yay yay yay!
Xiang Nuan: Don’t you want to know how I did it?
Min Lili: Haha, girl, you think too much.
Xiang Nuan: = =
Beating the PE Institute was just the beginning of the competition.
There were over 70 colleges registered to play in their province alone. They had to play 4 matches the first day to qualify for the quarter finals, then 3 matches in the second day to fight for first place.
The Times had an easier time in their matches later in the day.
They had been through a systematic and professional training regimen after all. They were much more organized and coordinated than the other loosely formed teams. Though they couldn’t play like professionals, it was enough for them to have a strong presence in this kind of competition.
Soon enough, the team entered the finals.
Lin Chuyan had gone home after they finished their matches for the day. Before they were done, Xiang Nuan’s parents had come home. Ren Danyan enthusiastically invited Lin Chuyan to stay for dinner. Xiang Nuan however felt that it would be dark by the time they finished dinner and Lin Chuyan probably would stay the night at her house again. She had insisted he leave right after the matches, because she wasn’t sure whether she would do anything to him if he stayed longer at her house.
For the finals the next day, all five of teammates were online on voice chat.
The team they were up against had an intimidating name-- --The Fangs.
During the first round, The Fangs chose Luna as one of their champions. Xiang Nuan didn’t think too much about it. She had encountered Luna before; she wasn’t a strong champion in the current meta and so wasn’t a big concern.
However, today’s Luna was strong.
Not just strong, she was formidable…….
This Luna wasn’t over-aggressive, but was still very stable and could make precise decisions about the overall situation on the battlefield. She appeared when she was supposed to and retreated when she was at a disadvantage. This one champion could single handedly harass the entire opposing team.
Some Luna players would start to show off their abilities and forget to work with their own teammates.
But this player was different, he was very reliable.
That was the most difficult part.
This kind of Luna gave off a feeling of familiarity to Xiang Nuan.
She typed in the public chat: Is that you?
After a whole minute, that player replied
A mouthful of fangs: En.
“Oblivion! He’s Oblivion!” Xiang Nuan excitedly said.
Waiwai asked: “Who’s Oblivion?”
“A very strong player who’s especially good with Luna. This round, this round we……” Xiang Nuan felt that they would lose this round but didn’t want to say it out loud to demoralize her own team. She only said: “Let’s play well.”
No matter how well her team played this round, they ended up losing.
For the pick and ban phase in the second round, Xiang Nuan said: “Listen to me, ban Luna, Miyamoto Musashi, and Li Bai; these are the three champions Oblivion’s the best at. He’s also good with Ah Ke, let’s pick Ah Ke before them. Zheng Dongkai, you shouldn’t have any problem playing Ah Ke, right?”
“Certainly not.”
Waiwai was somewhat doubtful: “Are you sure? Miyamoto Musashi? He’s a pretty weak champion, seems like a waste of a ban?”
Xiang Nuan hesitated after hearing Waiwai.
Yang Yin spoke: “Let’s do as Xiang Nuan says.”
If the player is good enough, any weak champion would be a formidable adversary in their hands. They should ban his favorite champions while they still could.
