You’re Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 186 (2)

Lu Sicheng sat down on his own seat, looking somewhat absent-mindedly while playing with his headphones…… Tong Yao sat down next to him and pulled on his sleeve, extending her head closer: “What were you and the strategist of our enemy talking so happily about?”

“Nothing much. He said I should let Li Mintai have Leblanc one more time for the sake of being their old teammate.”

“……”

Tong Yao tightened the grip on Lu Sicheng’s sleeve all of a sudden: Though Li Mintai didn’t want to see her playing Leblanc, she truly wished to see him playing Leblanc.

“I said no. Just like what I’ve said back in the break room, if someone dares to leave Leblanc as a choice, I’ll hang them with the mouse cable on stage.”

“……”

While they were talking, all the players were at their seats and the ban & pick phase started…… Since this was a life or death round, no one dared to leave Leblanc unbanned. Though TAT had asked for Leblanc before, the first ban they chose was actually Leblanc– —

The commentators were in high spirits.

Commentator D: [Uh oh! TAT’s first ban is Leblanc. Does that mean they’ve admitted that Smiling’s Leblanc is better?”

Commentator F: [We’ve seen Leblanc in two rounds today– –However it’s hard to tell which one of the two players is better because they both played brilliantly! Their play styles are different. Smiling’s Leblanc is more of a team player, initiating team fights at the precise moment and killing the enemy’s carriers while Thei’s Leblanc is more for showing his skills in lane……]

Commentator D: [Promise me we’ll have another round of this at the all-star game. Let them use Leblanc to compete during the solo game!]

In the ZGDX voice channel, all the teammates were quite happy as well.

Tong Yao: “They banned Leblanc first! They chickened out!”

Lu Sicheng: “Look how excited you are.”

Tong Yao: “I’m the world’s first Leblanc!”

Little Fatty: “Very well, spiritual victory.”

Old Cat: “Very optimistic.’

Old K: “If you ask me, she’s shell-shocked from playing Fizz in the last round. She almost got killed several times…… I’ve never been so needed by Smiling in any of our matches. I just went to get blue buff, the next second she was calling me: Jungler, jungler, where the hell is the jungler!”

Everyone: “Hehehe.”

TAT banned two more champions, Kalista and Rumble. Tong Yao tapped once on her mouse: “Don’t you all ridicule me or I’ll…… Hey, Twisted Fate is available. Get me Twisted Fate. I’m going to fly off my seat.”

Even without her asking for it, everyone knew that taking Twisted Fate was a must. Old Cat locked Twisted Fate for Tong Yao. The other side then locked Zilean and Tahm– –To prevent the other side from using the combination of Zilean + Tahm + Kindred again, Old K had no choice but to take Kindred for himself even though Nidalee was still available……

TAT then took Maokai for their top and Tong Yao took Gnar for Old Cat.

The final line up of both teams were — —

TAT: Maokai, Nidalee, Zilean, Lucian, Tahm.

ZGDX: Gnar, Kindred, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Braum.
