Chapter 23.2: Was that damned new guy finally willing to come out? (1/2)

The training match was in the afternoon. As they neared the afternoon, everyone queued for a match to warm up.

Wei Xiao was also eager and wanted to try, but he was only here to watch the match and could only stare on with wide eyes.

Tang Chen dutifully put his poor acting skills to use again, “Ouch…” He glanced at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao received the message and helped him curse, “That spicy chicken newcomer!”

Tang Chen continued to look at him, “Ouch, ow…”

Wei Xiao continued to help him scold the guy, “He’s a lazy bastard that doesn’t even come for training matches!”

Tang Chen was having difficulty continuing the act, “Opetition when he learned that Lu Feng was participating and never signed up for the singles competition ever again.

As the singles participant for L&P, Gary fell beneath Lu Feng’s blade again and again.

However, FTW couldn’t win against L&P.

Lu Feng also didn’t have a chance to win against Yuan Ze.

This kindness, gratitude, grievance, and resentment was something that everyone in Glory knew. Wei Xiao was even able to recite it all from memory.

He looked at the IDs and frowned, “Yuan Ze isn’t playing?”

Chen Feng sneered, “Not sending up their second team is already considered as showing respect for us.”

Wei Xiao: “……”

He might be angry, but the gap between FTW and L&P was really quite significant. Even if they really arranged for their second team to play, it would still be hard to say if FTW would win or not.

On the L&P side, everyone other than their top-lane was from their starting line-up. Especially when it came to Gary, he immediately became excited when he saw Lu Feng and typed crazily in his crippled Chinese, “Close, wait for me to explode you!”

Lu Feng ignored him.

Old G amused himself, “Ten, I’m going to explode you ten times!”

Chen Feng was really disdainful, “Has Gary changed Chinese teachers? He now sounds like a non-mainstream speaker rather than a northerner?”

Wei Xiao: “It’s not non-mainstream.”

Chen Feng: “Hm?”

Wei Xiao: “Think about it, think carefully, this is clearly a blind imitation.”

“………………”

Looking at this Wei Xiaoxiao who was so clear on how to kill culture, Chen Feng was very worried!

Because it was a user-defined battle, the two teams soon entered the BP interface.

The so-called BP, was also an important part of a MOBA game.

Glory had 11 heroes and over 100 talents. Players had a myriad of choices and countless strategies available to them.

BP was the abbreviation of Ban and Pick. The former meant to disallow a hero from the match, and the latter was where heroes were selected. As the name suggested, the BP stage was a stage where heroes were disabled and chosen.

Although they hadn’t yet officially entered the canyon, the sparks of warfare were already ignited.

Banning was a whole area of study, and choosing heroes was an even bigger school of study.

If banning was used well, they could restrain the other side during their lineup setup. If successful, then one would have already won half the game.

If they didn’t use such tactics for a MOBA game, then they weren’t even qualified to play the game.

Wei Xiao stared at the projection, his heart cold.

L&P played really dirty. They had six ban spots, and they were all allocated to Close. Almost all of the heroes Lu Feng was most powerful with were banned.

Lu Feng’s hero pool was very deep. As a champion of the singles competition, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t use.

However, being able to use it didn’t mean it could just be used like that.

The hero lineup, restraint, and what was strong in the current version all needed to be considered in 5v5 matches…

In short, there were too many variables to consider. This was why there were so many usable jungler heroes.

Even if Lu Feng could use other heroes after his core heroes were banned, it still meant that FTW’s core line up had been infinitely compressed.

L&P’s BP setup had really attacked FTW.

If Lu Feng was suppressed, then FTW would have already lost halfway. This sentence was one that had circulated around the international arena for a long time.

Wei Xiao was angry watching it, but he didn’t do anything.

FTW took Lu Feng as their absolute core. As their core, he could only be oppressed like this.

There were also teams in domestic competitions who dealt with FTW like this, but the players had different ability levels, and it was impossible for a domestic team without a top-class player to target Lu Feng continuously.

As long as they couldn’t target Lu Feng to death, FTW would still have a chance to win the game.

As the head coach, Chen Feng had absolute say during the BP segment.

He wouldn’t force anyone to pick up a certain hero, but as a spectator, he could also see the situation on the other side.

This was very important, since he could remind the players in the game to make more accurate decisions.

After ten minutes of back and forth, the line up was determined.

Although Lu Feng had been suppressed, Old G didn’t have it easy, either.

Since they were all aiming at junglers, then they would target them until the end. The remaining ‘old, weak, sick and disabled’ hero options would all rely on their personal strength!

After the match began, Wei Xiao forgot to even blink.

Professional players would never perform the same kind of brainless rush that casual passerby players did. Every step and every action was well thought out in advance.

The support Bai Cai was responsible for opening up the field of vision and feeling out the whereabouts of the other team.

The mid-lane Ning Zhehan stepped cautiously and focused on leveling while keeping an eye on the dynamics between the rest of the team.
