Who knew that the first match would feature the new demon , everyone was excited to see the new demon in action and controlled by a pro player .
On PG side , after a moment of silence , Jing Yu said calmly : " Snatch dark Cupid . " And so , Luo Yi Ming sec-lock Dark Cupid.
As for Jing Yu , he originally wanted Qin Fei to lock in satan but Qin Fei instead commented : " Ye Zi , black dragon. "
The marksman and mages are the teams core , since such a powerhouse like the black dragon is available, they naturally had to snatch it.
Then it came to KID's turn again ,Ah Ban was really sweating on PG behalf : [ PG who never follows to a typical play style chose to use two naturally strong demons , it seems they're being very cautious with KID.Let's see what are KID's next choice of demons ?]
[Eh?!] When they saw what KID picked , Tang Guo let out a gasp , [Truthful wings and Concealing storm ... They decided to pick two marksman on the field? ]
Ah Ban : [ Maybe it's just a feign? .... They have locked it in ! ]
Ah Ban thought that KID was just playing around and would use other demons but didn't expect them to actually go with it .
Eternal flames , Truthful wings and Concealing storm -- there are now three marksman on the lineup ah!
Ah Ban couldn't help but look foward to this match : [ As everyone knows , KID's speciality are their ads , they often deploy the two marksman strategy on the battlefield , whereas for three marksman on all lane however , now that's something new !]
Tang Guo: [ Wow , so are they planning on dragging on the fight as long as possible , I can imagine the damage would be extreme by then !]
Even PG was shock at their decision .
Jing yu started to become nervous again : " Ah..... this is our first time seeing this kind of strategy , we must secure the early games ah ~ Or we can just erect our gravestones late game ah! "
Qin Fei looked at Jing Yu strangly , he felt that there was something wrong with him today.
Although Jing yu is a competitive person who does not want to lose , he has never expressed himself like that before , especially before a match.
But today....
Qin Fei couldn't help but wonder, was it that "reward" that gave him the pressure?
He originally just wanted to make sure he doesn't let them dating affect the competition . But it seems to have the opposite effect?
Now that it happened , he can't just tell Jing Yu in front of the recording microphone and teammates not to take their "reward" thing to the heart. Qin Fei also feels that even if he said that , what if this became the reason to distract him instead.
He should just follow the flow.
Thinking like this , Qin Fei held his tongue and look at his screen , pretending that he knew nothing.
In the end , for this match , the lineup went like this:
PG: Satan , Black dragon , Dark cupid , Sally , Frozen heart
KID: Eternal flames, Peacock plumes , Concealing storm, JingHua ShuiYue, Truthful wings
Once both side choice of demons shown on screen , people could make a rough guess of which marksman would go which lane .
Tang Guo : [KID top lane would be Eternal flame's ! Concealing storm and JingHua ShuiYue would go bottom lane while Truthful wings will be the jungle !]
Ah Ban : [ First match and they immediately chose such a daring strategy , how bold!]
It was finally time for battle .
Jing yu was in the lower jungle helping Luo Yi Ming's take the red buff before he went to clear the monsters in his jungle.
Qin Fei who was checking on Jing Yu while minding his lane ,saw that nothing serious was happening let out a sigh of relief.
The first five minutes of the game did not had much activity. Qin Fei and Luo YiMing wanted to gank KID top lane but failed , they wanted to rank their marksman but also failed . What's worse was that they nearly died from the tower.
Tang Guo: [ KID knows their weakness is early game , so they focused farming instead of engaging with PG. ]
Ah Ban : [ En , KID is clear of their own position , and that is safely farm til late game for that explosive damage . This match would basically be seeing whether they can suppress KID in the early game. ]
Now that the sixth minute has passed , everyone except the support is level 6 and has their ultimate ready.
On the top lane , Qin Fei roughly estimated Eternal flame's hp . It might be possible to get her if he managed to time it right and was fast enough even when banking. However , KID top lane , kka is also a rather good player with high hand speed . What's more, Eternal flames has a unique life saving skill for gank situations.
Should he go for it or not?
Forget it , Qin Fei chose to observe the situation first.
Ah Ban : [ Qin Fei has always been an agressive player , although this time he may seem to be farming quietly but I'm sure once Eternal flames step out of the tower's protection , he would force them back.]
Tang Guo : [Qin fei is undoubtably strong indeed , we have not see any opponent that can face him head on. They're mostly suppressed by him .]
Ah Ban : [ Yes, but KID kka is impressive too . He isn't affected that much by Qin Fei and both of their economy are rather similar.]
Following closely , the screen went to the mid lane. Black dragon and peacock plumes are exchanging blows on the line, and it seems that black dragon is having an advantage .
Ye Hong's black dragon is actively poking and harrasing peacock plumes , forcing them to retreat constantly . However , Ye Hong also dare not give chase . Once he feels that truthful wings is hiding in the bushes nearby , he immediately goes back to a safe position, pulling apart a safe distance between the two of them.
On the bottom lane , Luo Yi Ming who managed to play his main dark cupid wanted to go face to face with concealing storm. But every single time , concealing storm always manages to displace to a safer location.
Following , JingHua ShuiYue threw out a cc skill and dark cupid also manages to dodge it.
Just like that, no one was able to hit each other and they just keep going on,
All three lanes were all engaging in fights , yet the longer it went on , the more anxious they become.
Luo YiMing was the first to lose his patience: " Fuck , we are for sure going to lose this game. "
Han Leng quickly calmed him down : "Calm down! ily is technically KID's trump card, when fighting with him ,play stably , wait for Ye zi to come over . "
Ye Hong also grew frustrated: " Goldfish , are you on the way ? "
Jing Yu controlled frozen heart and cleared the last monster in the jungle ,replying : " Coming."
Both of them were clear that they do not necessarily need to kill the mid lane , as long as they're in critical health then that's fine too. Once they return back to their base, they just need to hurry and brush up their economics to break the stalemate.
The problem is KID is most likely aware of this too.
Jing yu : " Before I reach , don't try to play too aggressively ."
Suddenly , the enemy truthful wings dashed out of the bush firing two shots , one missed while the other hit black dragon.
Thankfully for Jing Yu reminder , Ye Hong manages to manoeuvre black dragon out of the way. His heart beating fast : " Wow ! They're just coming at me directly now. So daring. "
Ye Hong immediately cast a water dragon-nado towards truthful wings , and successfully knocked truthful wings up.
Because of this successful knockup , frozen heart manages to rush to the scene in time. Jing Yu quickly cast his second skill linking up truthful wings.
"Tsk , my position isn't the best, " Jing Yu said so , however he still released his area of effect ultimate towards truthful wings.
It did indeed struck truthful wings , but peacock plumes who was near managed to dodge it -at his positioning , he really could not do anything about it. In the end one was cc'ed and the other escaped.
Then because Jing Yu did not have any displacement skill , the skill time was up and truthful wings started to run away.
Frozen heart gave chase and released his first skill. Ye Hong joined in too and quickly unleashed his ultimate .
Huge waves surge towards truthful waves, drowning her to death, at the same time , under truthful wings's last fightback and peacock plumes ultimate , frozen heart died.
【system】Frozen heart has slain an enemy!
【system】The enemy Truthful wings has been slain!
【system】Peacock plumes has slain an enemy!
【system】Your ally Frozen heart has been slain!
Both team jungler died at the same time , and the two mid continue in a chokehold again. Other than that , there were practically no changes.
Wait? No changes?
Ah Ban open up the stat board of both teams and noticed the problem right away: [KID has surpassed PG in terms of currency! ]
[Eh? Why is that so?] Tang Guo got shocked, [All three lanes were in a statement . were they not? KID top was kept in checked by PG, so how did they keep up , even surpassed!]
[Well that's because of the jungle.] Ah Ban said, [It's because truthful wings are clearing their jungle faster , so goldfish should have known that rushing up there would be his death.]
Tang guo: [ But this could just be a strategy of earning more time for their teammate?]
Just as Tang Guo said this , Jing Yu gave an instruction : [ The enemy jungler is dead ! YiMing go clear the jungler.]
Luo Yi Ming: " Yosh! On my way!]
But what he wants to do isn't necessarily what he is going to do. The enemy concealing storm can't be escaped. Concealing storm damage is not that high , however their range is long , which allows them to keep chipping away at dark cupid health. This makes it seems as though dark cupid is being suppressed.
[Who have expected this.] Ah Ban who was observing the game couldn't but exclaim , [ ily's concealing storm suppressing one's dark cupid! You have to know that dark cupid is technically a current strong meta , while concealing storm isn't a very popular choice of pick anymore already.]
Tang Guo : [ Last season ily loves to use concealing storm as well , after all they have one of the longest range in the pool of marksman demon.]
Marksman are the core damage of the team , that is if they could hit their enemy. If they miss frequently , then what is the point of their high damage.
As for the situation right now , concealing storm is constantly biting away at dark cupid's health while dark cupid's attack barely reach and affect concealing storm. Soon dark cupid retreated under the tower and into the jungle of their own team.
Ah Ban : [ Is ONE trying to use the jungle now to make up for the loss of currency? Both jungles have yet to revive , so this is an o...]
Before he could say "okay idea" , dark cupid instead u turn again and used a displacement skill to go right in concealing storm face and shoot at it!
Tang Guo : [ Ah! Why did he u-turn ah!]
Concealing storm did not lose out and reacted quickly, withdrawing into the tower. But who knew that Han Leng's Sally would also join in on the fight - adding blood and movement speed bonus!
Luo YiMing without thinking much , charge into the opponent's tower without hesitation. Under the effects of sally ultimate , he hunted down concealing storm.
Even though concealing storm tried his best and reacted accordingly, it was too sudden and he couldn't blink on time. In the end , concealing storm died miserably in their own tower.Jinghua ShuiYue who just arrived threw a cc skill at dark cupid , rooting him in place and let the tower do its job. Too bad that couldn't bring its dead teammate back.
【system】Dark Cupid has slain an enemy!
【system】The enemy Concealing Storm has been slain!
【system】JingHua ShuiYue has slain an enemy!
【system】Your ally Dark Cupid has been slain !
Looking at the notification , Jing Yu felt like vomiting blood: " Oi , what happened to farming the jungle? "
Luo YiMing let out breathe : " Phew , I long hated the sight of ily , finally he is dead!WhoooHoOoo! "
Ah fine... Let him have fun , this is what a game is for after all.
But...
Jing Yu opened the stats screen to check their economics and let out a sigh. After truthful wings revived , KID currency has been soaring at a high speed. PG could no longer catch up.
Who cares if it was just ten minutes in , Qin Fei left his top lane to go down to the mid lane and help gank peacock plumes , yet it didn't help PG.
11 minutes in, Jing Yu 's frozen heart invaded the bottom lane, allowing dark cupid to earn a double kill. However , truthful wings rushed to the scene and took care of frozen heart and managed to beat dark cupid into low health.
KID was not afraid of dark cupid managing to escape , after all what can he do with such low health. They swiftly took this time to capture the kraken and pushed the mid lane. One after another , the tower collapsed , indeed when there are more marksman , pushing the tower does become faster since only basic attacks can destroy it. Qin Fei and Ye Hong was lacking in items and could not stop KID at all. In fact , just surviving them was already a feat of its own already.
And then, while PG was busy clearing their lanes of the minions , KID went on to take the kraken.
【system】Truthful wing has conquered the demonic beast!
【system】Minions will now be buffed into demonic minions!
Looking at system notification, PG truly caved in.
This match was really frustrating for them !
No matter how passionate was Jing Yu's winning spirit , under this circumstance, he can't even talk about persevering. Everyone fell into a deep silence.
Qin Fei still persisted on , but was done in by the three marksman. He helplessly said : " We lost this round , let's try harder next round bah."
Early game they couldn't deal enough damage , end game they don't have enough damage. This round , PG has lost thoroughly.
Listening to Qin Fei say this , Jing Yu sighed.
Then he heard Qin Fei followed up: " In a competition you would win or lose at times, that's normal .What's more important is that we try even harder next round."
Jing Yu replied : " En. "
Qin Fei : " So have we thought of a plan? "
Jing Yu contemplated for a while then answered back : " Next match , let me use LueYing bah. "
Who knew that the first match would feature the new demon , everyone was excited to see the new demon in action and controlled by a pro player .
On PG side , after a moment of silence , Jing Yu said calmly : " Snatch dark Cupid . " And so , Luo Yi Ming sec-lock Dark Cupid.
