You’re Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 190 (1)
Tong Yao: “The nine-year compulsory education that forced me to learn English was probably for a day like this so I can happily get online to watch fans from other countries fall apart…… I’m super happy watching that, am I a bad person?”
“The expression on your face tells me that you’re quite happy to be a bad person.” Lu Sicheng passed by in front of Tong Yao to get some water. “But compared to the Korean teams, G4 is really not as strong. If YQCB has another half season to play together as a team, they should be able to defeat G4.”
Xiao Rui: “You’re trying to save face for your buddy again.”
Tong Yao: “He started to do that in the match. I’m already used to it.”
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Since it was quite easy to win the first round, the players of ZGDX were quite relaxed during their break time. When they were notified to get on stage for the second round, everyone looked quite at ease as well…… The G4 players didn’t seem that concerned about their loss either. It seemed that they didn’t care too much about the public’s opinion. If they cared about it, they probably wouldn’t click surrender in the last round anyway.
— –Tong Yao guessed that G4 decided to surrender because they felt that compared to being totally demoralized by dragging the game out, it was probably better to surrender then get ready for the second round.
It looked like Tong Yao’s guess was right.
Once the second round started, it was obvious that G4 wasn’t bothered too much by their surrender in the first round. They even seemed to be in a better condition than the first round– –The ban & pick phase concluded smoothly. The champions ZGDX got this round weren’t that ideal. When the ban & pick phase ended, Lu Sicheng took a look at their own lineup: top Rumble, jungler Nidalee, mid Corki, bot Sivir, and support Nami.
Lu Sicheng: “There’s no frontline.”
Tong Yao: “It’s time to test just how agile you can be.”
Lu Sicheng: “Don’t, I’m just a fragile Sivir……”
As they were talking, the ten players of both teams loaded into the game. The second round officially began!
……
Everyone in ZGDX thought G4 wouldn’t repeat their mistake from the last round at level one again, but G4 was quite fixated on the same strategy. And this time around, they succeeded!
In the beginning of the game, Little Fatty was the first one to get into lane. As usual, he was going to the triangle bush to place a ward. When Nami passed the bush, she was suddenly hooked by something inside the bush, only a piece of Nami’s scale was left behind. From that point onward, Nami disappeared from sight……
Then the center of the screen showed a notification of the enemy Lucian getting first blood. A curse could be heard in ZGDX’s voice channel!
Lu Sicheng’s Sivir had just arrived at her lane. Lu Sicheng sounded quite calm: “This time, bot’s finished again.”
Lu Sicheng: “It’s our bot that’s finished.”
Everyone: “……”
Usually, what the ZGDX captain said would generally describe how the game would go. Besides, G4’s bot duo couldn’t be that bad since they had made it to the finals in a world competition– –Therefore, five minutes into the game, Sivir was already suppressed by Lucian thanks to the advantage of getting first blood……
Since the situation at bot wasn’t too good, Tong Yao at mid didn’t have the courage to act rashly either– —
With the advantage at bot and the enemy pinned at mid, G4 started to tower dive at top. Their top, jungler, and support began attacking Old Cat’s Rumble. In 15 minutes, Rumble’s stats for the game became 0/4/0!
During the first team fight at the drake arena, Rumble teleported to bot and cast his ultimate to damage the other side’s tanky top. Old Cat at this moment couldn’t stop himself from cursing: “This Rumble god’s mental state is falling apart! I’ve said I wanted a Rumble skin, but now I might as well have a Gnar skin! So angry!”
In this team fight, ZGDX lost three champions to just one of the enemy’s. They also lost the drake and the outer turret at mid. They were behind by 2500 gold…… What’s worse was that all three lanes hadn’t obtained an advantage in the early game. By this time, the inconvenience of not having a frontliner in their lineup had fully exposed– —
