The horn sounded, and the match began.
Commentator Soymilk: “Honestly, I was looking forward more to this 3v3 match. Fi-god has been my idol for my entire lifetime, so this crazy fangirl shall not explain herself.”
Commentator Sugarpack: “I thought the same too. Boom, as the top 13th jungler on the international ranks, did not face Fi-god directly at the previous national qualifiers. What performance would these two famous players with places on the international ranks bring, I already cannot wait to see.”
In the two minutes of the commentators’ exchange, K and Qiang were in a continuous standoff, and Heng and DiamondJ were also stuck in the mid lane killing minions while eyeing each other at the same time. The only unknown lane was Boom and Mo Huaifeng.
However, Boom started to jungle, and there was temporarily no one controlling the lane. Mo Huaifeng grabbed this chance, swiftly releasing several sets of abilities to clean up the minions. His actions were clear-cut and not in the least sloppy.
Soymilk clutched her chest. “Right now, Boom is continuously jungling to level up, whereas Fi-god’s strength is completely focused on pushing the turret. AHHHHHHHH My idol’s godlike handling was all given to this wave of minions. Did you see that? That was so attractive!! Currently, I have the thought of wanting to enter the match and becoming a minion NPC 1 .”
Sugarpack: “Wake up from your fantasies. If you continue wailing like this, when the tournament ends, Fi-god’s fangirls will seize you by your collar, throw you out, and then let Boom’s fans give you a beating. Why are you only praising Fi-god? Isn’t my Boom idol handsome too?”
The live atmosphere became even more lively, and there were even people whistling while watching on.
Soymilk quickly changed the topic. “Right now, we are placing our attention on the tournament. At this rate, when the two meet later, there will probably be a slight difference in levels since there isn’t much EXP 1 to gain from pushing turrets.”
On the large screen, Boom finished jungling and returned to the lane, and Mo Huaifeng had already destroyed half of the defense turret.
He did not face Boom front on, and instead, while Boom was dealing with the minions, he entered the jungle and killed creeps to develop, swiftly advancing from level two to level three.
Then, he returned to his original post and continued killing creeps to progress.
As Mo Huaifeng continued to roam and develop, Bug had already lost a turret at the bottom lane; currently, Mo Huaifeng’s gold was also leading by several hundred, and he bought a very good pair of accelerating boots.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that Boom was dealing with the minions, he rushed to the mid-lane, feeling his way through the bushes. At this point, Heng purposely slipped up, luring DiamondJ to “exploit his edge in hot pursuit.” Mo Huaifeng jumped out of the bush and after a set of combined attacks, finished off DiamondJ right away.
“Nice! Fi-god’s godlike hand speed has appeared once more!”
“Why did Fi-god and Heng exchange lanes? Is this a new strategy?”
Heng moved along the bushes and arrived at the bottom lane whereas Mo Huaifeng initially seemed to be going towards the top lane but, halfway through, turned around in a bush and reverted back to mid-lane after taking the blue buff. Making use of the fact that DiamondJ, who had just respawned, had not totally grasped the situation, Mo Huaifeng hid in the bushes and attacked from a distance, successfully gaining another kill.
The top lane was very well defended by K. He did not give the opponent any chance the whole time, whereas, at the bottom lane, Heng was wretchedly developing while hiding under the turret.
With the early advantage created by Mo Huaifeng, Mix progressed steadily, made full use of the edge that they had, and clinched the victory for this 3v3 match.
“Congratulations to Mix Battleteam for clinching the win for this 3v3!”
The word “Victory” sounded, and Ji Zhiyao, who was seated below the stage, just like the all of the Mix fans, applauded with all his might.
For the third round, 5v5, other than the reserves for each team, all the members of both teams were up.
This was also the first time Mix and Bug battleteam were meeting with a complete line-up since competing against each other at the national qualifiers two years ago.
