You’re Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 185 (1)

The commentators were still talking on stage after the players had gone back to the break room– —

Commentator D: [To be honest, I’m a little surprised about this match so far– –It’s probably somewhat improper to say so as an official commentator, but I have to say: originally, I thought it would be a reverse of what we’re seeing now.]

Commentator F: [Hum. My friend, I don’t blame you. It’s all because the impression everyone has of LCK has always been so…… You know, TAT always has an outstanding performance record even in their own region’s regular competitions. That’s why everyone calls LCK regular competitions: The Clash of the Titans.

Before this year’s world competition, someone even jokingly asked me: Hey, buddy, are you going to do commentary for the LCK fall season?]

Commentator D: [It’s good, I mean, we always need some surprises at an occasion like this– –Thanks to LPL. Thanks to ZGDX……]

Commentator F: [Hey! Hey! The match isn’t over yet. Why are you doing the post-game remarks now……]

Commentator D: [Aw, sorry, I just feel like saying it, that’s all– –Fans of LCK region, don’t worry. Just as my buddy here is saying, TAT only has one foot at the edge of the cliff and they totally have the opportunity and ability to make a miracle happen…… On the other hand, we’re wondering which mid of ZGDX will be up for the next round since both mids are in excellent condition……]

……

The commentators were guessing on stage while ZGDX had already made their decision. Lu Yue would be playing the next round because Lu Sicheng was obviously the carry in the last round, they worried that TAT would decide to target bot next round. Therefore, they put Lu Yue on and plan to have him take a support type mid champion to give Lu Sicheng more protection.

Tong Yao had no objection to the arrangement– –Actually, when everyone was discussing this matter, she was rather inattentive, her mind was elsewhere…… Before Lu Yue was ready to go on stage, Tong Yao called him and cautioned him to be careful, make sure to ban Leblanc.

Lu Yue was confused. He couldn’t understand why Tong Yao looked so worried when they were winning……

Tong Yao: “Don’t ask. A woman’s sixth sense.”

Lu Yue looked rather surprised: “You’re a woman? How come I don’t know that?”

Tong Yao wasn’t annoyed. She slightly raised up her chin with her legs crossed: “You’ll know when Li Mintai kills you.”

Lu Yue rolled his eyes and reached over to pat Tong Yao’s head. Tong Yao picked up the notebook next to her hand to throw at the door as it was being closed– —

It made a loud thud.

……

The third round of the match was about to begin.

All the players were at their seats and putting on their headphones. The streams back home were covered with bullet comments of wishful thinking “3 : 0”. The viewers were brainwashed by the comments of “damn, this is really the most hopeful year for the LPL”– —

For the third round, Lu Yue took Ekko as his champion, Leblanc was banned, and Li Mintai took Viktor.

TAT had chosen the combination of Twitch and Lee Sin while ZGDX had Ashe and Elise. In terms of aggressiveness, the other side seemed to be better than ZGDX– –It matched Lu Sicheng’s prediction during the break. After his performance in the last round, TAT was finally paying their respect to him and not treating him like a transparent figure.

……But, the respect seemed a little too much.

At the fourth minute, TAT’s Twitch was behind in farming. Lee Sin was sure that Lu Sicheng would initiate fights once he reached level 4 ahead of his opponent and went down to bot to help Twitch– –Once Lee Sin placed a ward at bot triangle bush, he saw ZGDX’s Elise hiding in the bush. Without hesitation, Lee Sin went up to give Elise a kick. Elise had no choice but to join the bot duo……

Old K: “Aiya, this Lee Sin has a dog’s nose! Fuck, I tried to hold my breath already but he still knew I was there!”

Little Fatty: “Maybe you didn’t hold your fart in?”

Old K: “I’m going, I’m going.”
