A great reversal was more exciting than a smooth-sailing match.

Moreover, this random match-up had a never-before-seen line-up: Cai Shen, Lian Yan, and He Jian against God Pang and Yu Yue.

A version one had never played before.

All the major live stream rooms were bustling with activity. There were solo fans of Lian Yan, onlookers who were attracted by the life-and-death battle of the two supports, but most came to watch the excitement and chaos of the ferocious battlefield.

[Well f*ck…… They played for so long, one small team fight was all it took to turn the tables.]

[Hhhhh that last team fight really made me laugh. Three people held back He Jian, while Eden and God Pang fought two against four.]

[→_→ Zhang Fei’s ability to protect his teammates is quite strong, it’ll be hard to cut the back row without him down. Besides, this kind of hero with a large shield-based ult is more suitable left for heroes with true damage.]

[Three people were needed to hold back He Jian to kill the carry and push the high ground. Doesn’t that mean He Jian is still stronger?]

If he was not strong, they could have just left him alone!

[I’m not sure if He Jian is strong or not, but Eden’s ult hitting four people at once is really impressive……]

Although Sun Bin’s ult was pretty nasty, it was not earth-shattering omnipresent. Successfully circling four people indicated that Yu Yue was familiar with the range of this hero’s skills.

[The main thing was that location, the timing, conditions, and people were just right. My little Shui Shui had nowhere to go.]

[Yeah, this location and angle were very crafty.]

[It’s not easy to cut down Lian Yan without this cc. Lian Yan has dash skills.]

[You all are fans of JK, right? Saying so much, isn’t it just that Yu Yue’s amazing? Tell us, what’s the group number, I also want to make money.]

[Eden is awesome! (Alipay received 1 yuan).]

[Don’t ask. If you do, it’s the Support of Light.]

All these were said in a cynical tone, the small number of Yu Yue’s fans naturally would not take this lying down. They rose vigorously against it:

[Fans of He Jian, don’t be so arrogant, is it fun to step on others? I just think that my family’s Yu Yue is the Support of Light, so what? In a team with three trollers, if you were Yu Yue, you would have surrendered a long time ago, right? But Yu Yue still played seriously.]

[This is too much. Yu Yue is indeed a newbie, but all players were once novices too!]

[What nonsense! They won because of they had God Pang on their team…… Why don’t you mention that Cai Shen and Lian Yan were on He Jian’s team? One is a top-tiered top laner and the other is a rising jungler. Which one of them is weak?]

[Sure enough, an official match is still needed to make He Jian’s fans shut up and admit that their players are old.]

[Let’s be low-key and keep a low profile. Lian hasn’t died yet. Don’t praise Yu Yue too much. It’s enough that we know that she’s strong, but we still have to give Lian some face on the surface.]

Of course, there were also some people who came forward to mediate:

[The players are very harmonious internally. Fans shouldn’t be too extreme, otherwise, the players will have a hard time.]

[Winning or losing is normal. One top match doesn’t mean anything. The official competition is the most important thing.]

[Not a fan of any team, but I feel that — — isn’t LZ too focused on experience? But those newcomers also play quite well. It’s still better to keep improving. There are many new heroes now, and all of them are quite strong. If they keep playing conservatively, they might be hammered into gourd skin in the playoffs.]

[A top match can also cause a fan war. As expected, the more girls in the KPL circle, the more chaotic it is. Please hurry up and go home to dress up and go shopping. Don’t come and mess with this muddy water, okay?]

[Exactly! Every day brainlessly bragging. It’s nothing special to control four enemies when they’re standing so close to each other. It’s ridiculous to make such a big deal out of it.]

…… In any case, after JK was done with their training match with ECR, the online world was already in a frenzy. Countless He Jian’s fans privately messaged Yu Yue, telling her not to be too arrogant, and to show some respect for her seniors.

— — After all, when He Jian started playing, she was not even born yet.

At least that was what they said.

Yu Yue thought for a moment and did not know what to say, so she handed it over to JK’s operation team to handle and washed her face to watch the game replay.

Coincidentally,  the opponent whom she encountered in the afternoon top match, Cai Shen, happened to be ECR’s top laner.

The other side was obviously also training newbies, changing their lineup and IDs several times like JK.

JK also sent their second team and Yu Yue.

As for the duration allocation, of course, it would be the main team more and the second team less. As for the main team’s duration, they rotated between Lian and Yu Yue.

After several high-intensity training matches, even Yu Yue, who was mentally excited, felt a little tired, but it had not reached the point where she could not bear it.

Rounding it up, like this, she had played three professional matches!

When Lu Qi saw her excited expression, he understood what she was thinking in her heart and could not help but sigh, pouring a cup of warm water and handing it over, “Do you really like playing esports that much?”

Yu Yue turned her head and looked at him like he was an idiot, “Of course, otherwise, why would I come to JK? To increase the attractiveness index?”

“The attractiveness index doesn’t rely on you just yet.” Lu Qi pointed to the cup of water on the table, “Drink some water. Then, I’ll have a little meeting with you.”

She knew that a little meeting after the training match would not be a good thing. But Yu Yue was not afraid. She knew that it was better to know her shortcomings than not to know them at all.

Moreover, Lu Qi, the Great Demon King, was not cruel most of the time. He was just bluntly pointing out the problems. As long as she cultivated a heart of steel, she could accept it. Once she accepted it, there would be many gains.

Drinking the water in a few mouthfuls, Yu Yue stared at Lu Qi with shining eyes, almost writing the words “just say it” on her face.

Lu Qi: “……”

If only the others could be as hardworking and eager to learn, that would be great.

“What do you feel about Cai Shen?”

“Very strong!” Yu Yue answered without thinking. She almost could not protect her teammates several times. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yue said, “It’s different from the top match.”

She did not know if it was her misperception, but Cai Shen was obviously much stronger than the previous time she encountered him as if the Cai Shen in the top match and the Cai Shen of ECR was two completely different people.

Lu Qi nodded, “What’s the difference? What are his strong points?”

Game mechanics……

This answer was already on the tip of her tongue, but Yu Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Compared to the top match, it seemed like Cai Shen’s game mechanics had not improved much, but the profits obtained doubled, giving people a feeling that he had become much better for no reason.

No, it’s not the game mechanics.

A vague idea popped up from the deepest trench of her mind, but it dissolved before it could take shape.

Coordination.

As if he was able to read minds, when confusion appeared on her face, Lu Qi voiced out her vague idea, “It’s coordination.”

“Hey!” Yu Yue was aggrieved.

How could you steal my line?

However, Captain Lu was very talkative today. He not only said her lines but also gave wise words, “The people in a team can be seen as a colleague or a comrade. We come together for various reasons and strive for the same goal. Do you know what is our goal for now?”

The Silver Dragon Cup.

Or the Golden Phoenix Cup?

Or maybe, it’s more than just that?

“This is destined to not be smooth sailing, our road ahead will be filled with thorns,” Lu Qi said.

Because of his handsome face, even when he was spouting chicken soup, he was still the best-looking chicken soup mentor, “You might have noticed that there is a limit to the game mechanics in Honor of Kings. Even if one person is very good, it is difficult to lead the whole team to victory in professional competitions.”

“In a multiplayer game, winning often requires team coordination.”

Yu Yue was somewhat uneasy, “What did I do wrong?”

“No, no, no, you did very well.” Lu Qi glanced in the direction of Lian, who had won all the games he played so far and was now lying on the sofa gaming with an indifferent expression. 

He even turned his mic on and listening to the chat content, he seemed to be playing PUBG.

“I just feel that you can do better,” Lu Qi said.

“Coordination is not just one person’s responsibility. The team also made a lot of adjustments to accommodate your play style.”

Yu Yue nodded her head.

Lu Qi: “A player is at their strongest when they have their teammates by their side.”

He had many, many words he wanted to say, but he did not know where to start when they reached his lips.

He felt that perhaps Yu Yue already understood the words that he had not yet spoken.

Lian, who was gaming, snorted, “You said the same thing to everyone. When will you come up with something new?”

Da Qing and Da Ming cheekily laughed, apparently having heard Captain Lu say the same thing to them before.

“I was even moved by it back then.” Ling Chen touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, as if ashamed of his easily moved past self.

“But now, I still think that the captain is right. Sometimes, while playing, you really discover that one person’s ability is limited. If I can reach 100% of my potential while soloing, then with my teammates, it’s probably 200%,” Da Ming put away his playful expression and spoke seriously. “Especially since I’m a fragile ADC. Without Da Qing’s and your protection, I would die instantly.”

Behind high damage dealers were the protection of other members of the team.

Lian impatiently glanced at the group of people and spoke to the girl in the game, “Land at the point I marked. Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.”

I will protect you!

Da Ming threw a pillow at him, “Why don’t you know how to protect me?”

He was killed by Cai Shen before he even started dealing any damage.

Lian spoke with righteousness, “I’m an offensive support! If you want protection, go find that idiot over there!”

Honestly speaking, he looked down on supports like Yu Yue. Protecting others was nice, but wasn’t playing offensive much better?

“You’re telling me Cai Yan^[1]Global name for Cai Wenji is a offensive support?” Da Ming was on the verge of a breakdown.

To be honest, these two supports were difficult to deal with. Lian, who was good at offensive, only knew one Gui Guzi. While Yu Yue, who was good at protecting and counterattacking, was least familiar with the counterattack representative, Sun Bin.

— — It was not that she could not play, it was just that she was not stable.

Her Sun Bin was either super god or super ghost.

Sometimes it was not that difficult to choose, like in the match against LZ, where it was obvious that Lian was the better choice.

Aside from the factor that Yu Yue and He Jian’s styles were too similar. Yu Yue’s coordination with JK was only effective to a certain extent. It will be quite stressful to face a team with such a good coordination like LZ.

However, three days before the match began, Lian got into a fight with someone over his online girlfriend. He was suspended for one match due to the severity of the incident.

In the match against LZ, Yu Yue ended up playing in the end.
