Chapter 8, The Soul of the Team

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Should fans take sides? Qiu Ying blinked. His tone was as if he were saying: I don't like him, so you shouldn't play with him either. She muttered: "I didn't realize you were so childish..."

In the evening, Qiu Ying was studying on the open balcony. Feeling tired, she set down her materials. Leaning against the railing, she gazed at the beautiful night view, which was illuminated in a myriad of colors. She quietly stayed there for a long time.

This news quickly garnered widespread acclaim

Her heart suddenly tightened. She knew she was there... only...

Surprisingly, the morning match was solely commented on by the star commentator Luo Tian, accompanied by two newcomers, Qiu Ying and Qiao Xin. Although he was "embracing both sides," Luo Tian felt a hint of worry. This was their first collaboration, and both of them seemed to be nothing more than decorative figures.

Qiu Ying wanted to explain. Pei Xi suddenly stood up and took a step forward. His tall figure blocked her view. He stepped closer, resting his hand on the doorknob, and slowly lifted his eyelids: "Yes"

Summit is very fierce! Summit is still holding on! There are 40 seconds left until teammates are revived

So he was referring to the fans

Qiu Ying and Lu Yiyi were sitting together in the MVP area. Next to them was an esports journalist named Xiao Xi, who was a die-hard fan of Pei Xi. The three girls held each other's hands, their faces flushed with excitement

The stray hair on his forehead is somewhat long. His peach blossom eyes, which are full of emotion even when not smiling, are filled with an intoxicating tenderness. Qiu Ying feels a warm sensation in her heart. A very sweet taste emerges between her lips and teeth, thick and rich like honey.

What responded to them was a nonchalant and careless silhouette.

Game 4. VPG chose a rare lineup of five ranged heroes. Luo Tian remarked, "Ji Xiangkong's unconventional jungle path has begun again"

Cris shook his head helplessly: "This tactical idea is excellent. Unfortunately, a few members of VPG are still not cautious enough in their positioning."

Luo Tian realized something: "This is the strategy of Legend from last season!"

Seeing the other party tilt their head, they feigned leaning closer. Their eyes were filled with a teasing expression. Qiu Ying raised her hand to cover his mouth. The doubts that had long been hidden in her heart surfaced. She gathered her courage and asked: "That day in the Dream Traveler's private room, you suddenly leaned over. If it weren't for Pei Xi's interruption, would you have wanted to..."

Lu Feng and Huo Yao exchanged glances. Ji Shao had a cheerful personality and had never been so sarcastic towards anyone. There is an issue.

Not good. In the second team. There are no matches to play. This season may just be wasted like this

Qiu Ying continued, "Carry Qi Yue, who is frequently protected in the highlights, is not a delicate princess. His ability to withstand pressure and escape is quite strong. He can definitely be left to fend for himself. The restructured VPG fully utilizes each player's strengths to the fullest extent"

Why is it you again

Qiu Ying pouted: "I don't want to go back. Qiao Xin is here."

Qiao Xin possesses exceptional gaming skills. But what about Qiu Ying? He initially had no intention of paying her any attention

This guy is a refined scoundrel!" Huo Yao hurriedly added. "On the day we just arrived at the hotel, when you dragged that young girl into the corner, he was staring at you! His expression was particularly gloomy!

"No, I won't." Pei Xizheng was focused on wiping his hands with a wet tissue. Upon hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at Qiu Ying. "It won't be for you."

Continue to dismantle! With one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, he furrowed his brows and commanded loudly, "Dismantle! Dismantle! Don't mind them!"

"Oh dear. This VPG's top lane..." Luo Tian was just about to express his feelings when he suddenly burst into laughter. "What happened?"

I am indeed a combination of wisdom and beauty

As the match progressed into the mid to late stages, VPG adopted a "four-one split push" strategy

"Very good." Ji Xiangkong tilted his head in a playful manner. "You are just too protective of me. I feel a bit embarrassed hearing that."

She looked up and saw Ji Xiangkong

Qiu Ying was stunned. Her fingers nervously traced circles in the air: "But... but. The internet says you two are a couple. You haven't denied it either..."

Cris looked up at the five individuals on the main stage, holding up the trophy amidst flowers and applause

On the commentary stage, Luo Tian showed a worried expression: "Void is too far forward! The positioning is very dangerous"

Summit is low on health! Still not giving up! There are 25 seconds left until teammates respawn!

Dismantle

VPG changes formation. Transitioning from '4-1 split push' to '1-3-1 split push'! Multi-line attack. Summit is at a loss for options

News from major portal websites is being released rapidly—breaking news! We have captured a beautiful commentator, Qiao Xin, who is diligently doing her homework!

Ji Xiangkong did not even move his head: "Come out and get some fresh air"

Her words precisely revealed the current situation. Luo Tian nodded repeatedly: "Right now, Newland is in a very passive position. Killing Ji Xiangkong brings no benefits. But if they don't kill him, this lane becomes particularly difficult to handle. This strategy is indeed quite insidious"

A sudden burst of screams erupted throughout the venue

"What is this about poaching? I don't understand what you are saying." Ji Xiangkong casually tossed the name brand in his hand. "I am leaving. See you at the hotel."

You are so beautiful. If Pei Xi were not gay, what would be impossible? Lu Yiyi stroked her chin. Perhaps Qiao Xin is just a decoy, deliberately trying to attract your attention...

Qiu Ying blushed. She anxiously pressed her hand against his. As soon as her palm touched his chest, he grabbed her wrist. Ji Xiangkong looked down at her and asked, "Why haven't you returned to your room?"

Jiao Xin, who had been sidelined, also joined in to praise Ji Xiangkong a few times

Pei Xi glanced at Lu Feng and Huo Yao across from him and said confidently: "My teammates"

Lu Feng followed his gaze and immediately understood that he wanted to assist. He then pointed to the seat next to Ji Xiangkong and said: "Sit here, sit here!"

Qiu Ying waved her hand and said, "That is because you have not watched enough of his matches. His playing style is strange and varied. At times, he resembles a master of escape, evading faster than anyone else; at other times, he stubbornly engages in a head-on confrontation. Before he makes a move, it is impossible to predict how he will respond."

Qiu Ying nodded vigorously. At this moment, Ji Xiangkong's demeanor and words seemed to possess a certain magic, instilling a deep sense of trust in his reliability

Ji Xiangkong also stopped his movements and looked at her. His elbow casually supported his head. The curve of his lips gradually widened. His smile sent chills down her spine

Qiu Ying stared at him in a daze. Impatience and unease seemed to gradually be soothed by his words

The decisive match extended into the later stages. Both sides were evenly matched. VPG seized the opportunity and took the initiative.

The other four members of VPG are engaged in battle in the bottom lane

Her fist was soft and powerless, as if she were merely scratching an itch. Ji Xiangkong curled the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "At this hour, everyone else is in the training room. Just pay attention and there won't be any issues"

Qiu Ying did not want to cause any trouble. After hastily washing up, she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, Qiao Xin had already left. Qiu Ying tidied her belongings in preparation to go out. Suddenly, she discovered that the notebook in the drawer was missing

She looked incredulously at the large television broadcasting the live match. Qiao Xin was at the commentary desk, reciting her analysis written in her notebook word for word

From Legend's perspective, teammates frequently signaled for Pei Xi to return. Unfortunately, in the tense battlefield, players can easily become irrational

Luo Tian was taken aback. He had long heard of Qiu Ying's reputation for "not being able to play games and stubbornly clinging to the Conquer section, singing and dancing to gain popularity by any means necessary." Even if she later turned over a new leaf and participated in the raccoon commentary competition, he still subconsciously believed that she was merely relying on her beautiful appearance.

Ji Xiangkong picked up the notebook she had set aside. The thick hardcover was filled with dense writing. Currently, it contained the lineups for each match, the signature heroes of the team players, the item build strategies, and tactical analyses

Qiu Ying lightly coughed. Her gaze drifted to the ceiling: "It's nothing. She praised your kissing skills before."

The commentary team consists of ten members, operating on a shift system. On the following day, Qiu Ying is assigned to commentate on the matches between Polaris and Legend in the morning, and Newland versus VPG in the afternoon. Upon learning that she will finally be able to commentate on Ji Xiangkong's match in front of the national Conquer players, Qiu Ying is filled with excitement. The countless specks of dust floating in the air seem to be joyfully buzzing.

Why is it that every time a crisis arises... he is always able to appear by my side...

The two individuals immediately looked at Ji Xiangkong with pity

While she was having breakfast with Lu Yiyi, the journalist, known for her keen sense of smell, smiled at her in a gossipy manner

He smiled and praised, "The characters are as beautiful as the person."

Congratulations to the VPG team for becoming the champion of this year's CPL Autumn Tournament

Her words were as good as unspoken. Luo Tian attempted to continue the conversation: "They have been teammates for many years. However, the support Poker has always been inseparable from the carry Yue. The style of the restructured VPG has changed significantly."

Oh my! Summit has taken another one! Now it's 1 against 2 on the field! Legend and the others are about to respawn

In just a few minutes, Classmate Ji was struck by an arrow again

When Qiu Ying returned to the room, Qiao Xin was already asleep. The shared writing desk was cluttered with her cosmetics and clothes. Qiu Ying placed her notebook in the drawer, using the light from her phone to illuminate the space. After searching for a long time, she finally found her change of clothes and went into the bathroom

Yue ! Poker ! Scar ! Lion ! Void ! V ! P ! G !

The tower in Legend has been destroyed

The famous quote of Julius Caesar resonates at this moment: "I came. I saw."

Dismantle

"Ji Xiangkong not only has good tactical thinking." Qiao Xin was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. Finally, she carelessly pressed her lips together and smiled at Qiu Ying. "Her kissing skills are also quite good."

Losing her notebook felt like losing the confidence to stand at the podium. She was anxious and frustrated. She couldn't focus on any materials. In the end, she leaned on the table, burying her face in the crook of her arm

After hearing about this matter, Lu Yiyi angrily broke the pen in her hand: "She must have already destroyed your notebook. You have no evidence. Confronting her will only lead to being accused of slander."

Qiao Xin was wearing an off-the-shoulder checkered top and was busy searching for the best angle to face the camera. Upon hearing Luo Tian's question, she replied in a serious manner: "Hmm. This tactic is quite good. The cooperation between the support Poker and the jungler Scar is very harmonious."

Two years! This former world champion team, which has been unable to reach the top for a full two years after losing its captain, and which could not be saved even by the introduction of the "number one mid-laner in China," has finally found its former self again

On the large screen. As Pei Xi approached the road, Ji Xiang Kong clearly had a line of sight but pretended not to see. Just before entering Pei Xi's range, he suddenly retreated, his figure disappearing into the forest. Pei Xi was clearly not someone to be underestimated. He quickly caught up with him.

Who would say such things to a girl who has already been rejected

More than ten minutes later. While Qiu Ying was passionately discussing topics such as "When love is right, it is love. When love is wrong, it is youth," "I have also been hurt by scumbags," and "A professional player should have a heart of diamond" with Pei Xi in the small room, the door suddenly creaked open.

"Duo play is a gambling-style approach," said Qiu Ying leisurely. "Typically, the support follows the carry in lane, which allows for basic experience and gold accumulation. However, in duo play, the support leaves the carry to seek opportunities for ambush. If an attack is launched and fails to kill the enemy, not only does the support gain no levels or experience, but it also puts the carry in danger due to a lack of protection."

Although she had sensed in their previous encounters that he was not a very casual person, she still minded it very much

After finishing lunch with Lu Yiyi, Qiu Ying immediately began assisting the staff with various backstage tasks. She organized the contestants' peripherals and collected feedback from the audience on the live streaming platform. ... edited videos ...

Qiu Ying was puzzled: "Then how did you end up here?"

I do not like him. Ji Xiangkong casually swiped over two or three bombs, instantly blowing up the screen. He nonchalantly put his phone back in his pocket. "Aren't you my fan? Do you want to be a fence-sitter?"

Ji Xiangkong's gaze swept over Pei Xi, drifting towards Qiu Ying in the room: "The competition has already ended. What are you doing here?"

Xiao Xi had a face full of discontent: "How could someone like Ji Xiangkong, such a minor character, actually warrant the personal involvement of Emperor Pei in the expedition!"

He succinctly summarized the distinctive playing styles of the participating teams in a short period of time. In the end, he gently brushed his finger against Qiu Ying's cheek and asked, "Are you cold? Your face is all flushed from the wind"

The day's schedule has concluded. The members of VPG exited the third-floor team-exclusive viewing room, preparing to take a ride back to the hotel

Seeing that her seat had been taken, Qiu Ying could only sit down in the farthest corner from Ji Xiangkong. The atmosphere at the table immediately became very strange

This is akin to a heavy punch striking a sponge

The first step in conquering each match is the BP phase, which stands for Ban and Pick. During this phase, both sides will select five heroes from a pool of over one hundred for their lineup, while also banning five heroes from the opposing team to counter their strategy. Given the critical importance of BP to the outcome of the match, it is common for viewers to comment that "picking the wrong heroes means losing half the battle" or that "the game starts off on the path to a comeback"

VPG brings the three lanes to the forefront. The troops are at the city gates

Qiu Ying was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing here?"

Season towards emptiness

Suddenly, it felt as if she had been washed back to the shore. Her entire body was gently enveloped by sunlight. Qiu Ying let out a comfortable muffled sound. She made an effort to move closer to the source of warmth. Her head brushed against a pleasantly textured fabric. She nuzzled against it. The scent of wooden perfume spread at the tip of her nose

In the blink of an eye, on the heights of Legend, the heavens collapsed and the earth shattered. Ji Xiang released a powerful move, immobilizing Pei Xi in place. Just when everyone thought that the two from VPG would do their utmost to eliminate Pei Xi, they suddenly turned around and launched a frenzied attack on the building

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by someone: "Oh dear. We are all colleagues. Let's be understanding of each other"

The ancient ruins of Legend are in jeopardy under the clash of swords and blades. Inside the venue, fans of Legend anxiously began the countdown for the members' revival

Very good. This is very seasonal.

Qiu Ying let out a long sigh. It is precisely because there is no evidence that she cannot report to her superiors. With so many voices, and with Qiao Xin having backing, if she were to act rashly, she does not know how the truth would be distorted.

Qiu Ying stared intently at the screen. The hero operated by Pei Xi had the passive skill "Bloodthirsty." The lower the health, the more terrifying the attack power. If this continued, it would not be impossible for a one versus five situation to occur.

The top lane has been breached

Oh. Ji Xiangkong lazily raised an eyebrow. "You have been staring at my lips just now. Were you thinking about this question?"

How is it?

Just now, Qiu Ying spoke succinctly. After being surprised, Luo Tian nodded repeatedly: "Indeed. But this is also the charm of the double play as a highly offensive tactic"

Qiao Xin was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth, seemingly hesitating whether to continue arguing or not.

Now it was Qiu Ying's turn to turn pale. Lu Feng and Huo Yao, the two brothers, looked at Pei Xi, then at Ji Xiangkong, and finally at her. The expressions on their faces were quite vivid, resembling a rolling barrage: "So that's how it is"... "Indeed, it is like this"...

The competition has concluded. Luo Tian fully acknowledged Qiu Ying's performance. Upon learning that she has a background in broadcasting and hosting, he clapped his hands vigorously and said, "No wonder your eloquence, verbal expression, and ability to respond on the spot are all excellent. Your skills are quite professional. I look forward to your early confirmation in the position"

Xiao Xi wore a proud expression on her face: "He is practically telling his opponent through his actions; 'Get away from me! No defending allowed! Because I am angry!'"

The bottom lane is 4V5. Without Summit, the Legends are defeated like a mountain collapsing. Total annihilation

Autumn Championship Finals. Game 1. Officially begins

Ji Xiangkong looked at them with a rather amused expression. He did not stop them. As Qiu Ying walked towards them, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sat down next to Ji Xiangkong first.

A voice interrupted Qiu Ying's words, causing her to swallow the two words "kiss me"

Are you sure? "Ji Xiang Kong pretended to pull the zipper of his sportswear. "I am not wearing anything underneath."

I have watched the video commentary you provided. Your analysis of the situation is very accurate. You must believe in yourself

The war horn has sounded. Both sides have officially gone to war

Huo Yao suddenly realized: "Oh. He wants to win her back. In the end, she still chose Pei Xi?"

The halftime break is fifteen minutes. The second game begins

She had just turned on the showerhead when Qiao Xin began knocking on the door with a thunderous sound from outside

The CPL playoffs are held at the Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center in the Shanghai Expo Park. The main venue accommodates nearly 20,000 spectators. The analysis and commentary booths are located in the most prominent position in front of the audience. During the intermission, the host invites experts and professional players to provide commentary and summaries of the previous match at the analysis booth, reviewing the highlights. Once the next round begins, the camera shifts to the commentary booth.

Ji Xiang Kong was eating his meal absentmindedly. Suddenly, he put down his utensils and nudged Pei Xi with his elbow: "Move over a bit. I don't like sitting too close to men. It gives me a rash"

I understand. Ji Xiangkong nonchalantly straightened up. After taking a few steps, he turned back and ruffled Qiu Ying's bangs. "Keep it up."

VPG! Strong! Invincible!

Lu Yiyi added: "Battlefield Deceiver. The nickname of Void."

In a daze, someone cautiously brushed aside her bangs. Then, as if a hot feather gently caressed her forehead

There is a matter to attend to

Ji Xiangkong's tone suddenly became somewhat firm: "Do not be alone with him."

Qiu Ying withdrew her hand upon hearing this. Angrily and embarrassed, she punched his shoulder and said, "Go accompany your comrade. If someone finds out, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River"

The height difference is too great. Qiu Ying can't reach even when jumping. She can only nod repeatedly, saying: "Alright, alright, alright!"

What are you talking about?

Oh

He led her into a small compartment that few people visited. The two sat side by side on the windowsill. Qiu Ying's face was flushed, filled with unmistakable joy. Although she had seen him on stage just a few hours ago, it felt as if several months had passed. She excitedly tugged at the hem of his shirt, her big eyes sparkling like stars: "Did you watch the video from this morning? How did I do with the commentary?"

All the blood in her body seemed to surge to her head in an instant. Qiu Ying felt both embarrassed and angry, like a cat with its fur bristled.

On the commentary stage, Luo Tian and Qiu Ying were harmonizing with each other. Although Qiao Xin had also made preparations in advance, at this moment, she felt like an enthusiast who had suddenly intruded into a technology summit where senior engineers were discussing cutting-edge technical details. She couldn't even keep up with three sentences and could only smile awkwardly.

The fork in Ji Xiang's hand suddenly plunged into the half-cooked steak. Blood splattered across the plate. He tilted his head, raising one eyebrow.

Pei Xi looked directly at her and said, "This is quite boring, isn't it?"

Last night, I went to buy a late-night snack with my senior. On the way back, I thought about bringing you a portion. Then, I ran into Pei Xi in the elevator lobby on your floor. " Lu Yiyi covered her mouth. " There are only a few female commentators living on the eighth floor. He wouldn't have come out of your room, would he? "

In the analysis of the situation by Luo Tian: "Void has been continuously harassing Summit in various ways since the beginning. Summit is clearly determined to kill."

2-2. The two sides drew. Entering the final game.

Qiao Xin finally interjected: "Alas. If Ji Xiangkong continues to die, he will be giving back the economic advantage that the teammates worked so hard to achieve."

It is estimated that the previous season's antics by VPG angered Pei Xi. In this match, Pei Xi performed remarkably well. He ambushed the mid lane multiple times with VPG, managing to secure three kills in counterattacks. In the later stages, he single-handedly ventured into VPG's high ground, going in and out several times, dominating the battlefield.

As they approached the gate, they coincidentally ran into several members of the Legend team. Former teammates Lu Feng and Huo Yao suddenly stepped forward and hooked Jixiang Kong's neck, dragging him to the side.

Feel the long fingers gently stroking through one's hair. It seems to convey a comforting emotion. Qiu Ying looked up and saw Ji Xiangkong's face.

Qiu Ying was immediately embarrassed. She retorted with her neck stiffened, "You are overthinking it!"

Luotian's temple twitched. It seems that today he is going to sing a solo.

Lu Yiyi took a deep breath: "VPG is quite bold. In the decisive round, they actually let the clumsy Ji Xiangkong undertake such a dangerous task."

"Or perhaps..." Qiu Ying shook her head repeatedly. Ji Xiangkong couldn't help but slow down his speech and teased, "Do you want me to keep you company while you sleep?"

How is Ah Xuan?

Behind the glamour lies the sweat of hard work. Keep it up, Qiao Xin

In the large screen, the blonde Shen Yue was leaning close to Qi Yue's ear, speaking. The mention of "Shuangyue Duo" immediately elicited a chorus of screams from a group of girls

Ji Xiangkong leaned against the door with his arms crossed, revealing a teasing smile: "A lonely man and a solitary woman in the same room. Are you confessing your feelings?"

Qiu Ying blinked her eyes, doubting whether she had just imagined it. She pinched her own face hard, wincing in pain.

The scene in the VPG glass house is played on the large screen just before the moment of victory

Qiu Ying was both angry and anxious, her eyes red. After returning to the hotel, she hurriedly went to the outdoor balcony, holding her belongings.

"It's cold." Qiu Ying relaxed completely and suddenly smiled, saying, "Then why don't you give me your coat"

The social butterfly has begun to increase the difficulty of the game for her teammates again

Qiu Ying's temples throbbed: "How could I be making such a commotion? I haven't even turned on the lights..."

我来。我见。我征服!

... ...

Just a few times

In less than two hours, VPG decisively defeated Newland with a score of 2:0

If we are completely wiped out here, the resurrection time will take more than a minute. Legend will take the opportunity to push forward. VPG is undoubtedly doomed

The entire audience shouted in unison: "I conquer"

Ji Xiangkong suddenly spoke up: "What did you say to Pei Xi in the small room today?"

Luo Tian looked at the charming girl beside him, his eyes filled with unmistakable admiration. She was a new female commentator, well-versed in the background of the players, clearly well-prepared for the occasion

Indeed! Luo Tian just remembered that there is a behind-the-scenes director. Although everyone laughs at Ji Xiangkong for being clumsy, his tactical arrangements are quite impressive!

The next morning, Qiu Ying woke up in her own room. There was no one in the bed next to hers. The items were still arranged as they had been the night before. Qiao Xin seemed to have not returned home all night. Qiu Ying was still wearing the clothes from the day, having not changed into her pajamas. There was no memory of anything after she had fallen asleep.

Inside the venue, the enthusiastic audience began to chant a unified slogan

There lies the fruits of her research over the past six months. She rummaged through the room in a frenzy, anxious and restless. As the time to gather for the competition approached, she had no choice but to give up. She would search again upon her return

Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Summit God! Emperor Pei! Xiao Xi's eyes were red. She excitedly shook Qiu Ying's arm. "Did you see it! Did you see it!"

In addition to top star commentators, the analysis desk also invited NBA Chinese basketball superstar Lin Hao and pop music king Zhou Cheng. Meanwhile, in the commentary booth, the audience was excited to see the former Legend team captain, the first Chinese Conqueror, Cris

Qiu Ying's movements froze. She turned her head to look at Qiao Xin's graceful figure as it continued to walk away. Suddenly, her scalp tingled.

Hello. Are you really not going to take a look?

Qiu Ying could not help but murmur to herself: Where are you weak? Every time professional players are criticized by the audience to the point of emotional breakdown, when they contemplate retirement on Weibo... many comments below are urging them to learn from you

Xiao Xi tightly grasped Qiu Ying's arm and said, "Pei Xi is not dead yet! Legend still has a chance!"

Inside the venue, the commentary is filled with excitement and fervor

Then why not go to my room and take a nap? I can see that you are quite tired

Qiu Ying let out a long sigh. Little Xi beside her suddenly slumped down in her seat, her face ashen.

A thunderous cheer suddenly erupted in the stadium. Against the backdrop of stirring and dynamic music, the athletes entered. Before stepping onto the stage, Ji Xiangkong casually turned his head to glance at the commentary booth.

Qiu Ying recalled Pei Xi's reaction when she had bumped into him earlier. Unable to help herself, she spoke up: "What a coincidence. Pei Xi also dislikes others getting too close." Seeing him standing still in place, she squinted her eyes and smiled mischievously. "Oh? Could it be that you only break out in hives around women?"

Fury surged through her mind, burning fiercely. Qiu Ying's face turned pale, her lips tightly pressed together, trembling with rage.

Ten minutes later

Qiu Ying looked at the data sent by the analysis desk: "So far, all the ganks launched by Newland have been targeting Ji Xiangkong in the top lane. Everyone thinks he is the breakthrough point and focuses on him. But in fact, it has given his teammates a lot of space."

Four eyes meet. Qiu Ying's back is tense, and her hands under the stage are clenched into fists. She says to herself in her heart, "Come on!"

He had a smiling face. But the pressure in his whole body was dangerously low. Qiu Ying curiously leaned over to take a look. She saw him playing "Fruit Ninja". His slender fingers were like knives. Fast, accurate, and ruthless. Leaving no survivors. Qiu Ying swallowed her saliva. Such a cute game, yet he played it with such a murderous aura. ... She could almost see a scene of corpses everywhere through each fruit that was cut off ....

BP is the focal point at the start of each round and a hot topic of discussion at the analysis desk. Under the guidance of the seasoned BP expert, Jiuxiang Kong, Qiu Ying boldly predicts the match lineup, achieving an astonishing accuracy that shocks the entire audience

Season Xiangkong did not fulfill her wish: "You haven't agreed to what I just said. Promise me and I will give it back to you."

The upcoming match features the newly emerged strong team Newland facing off against the recently formidable VPG. In order to give newcomers a chance, he initiated a simple topic. "Qiao Xin, what is your view on VPG's recent frequent use of the 'dual roaming support' strategy?"

Moreover, there are particularly high requirements for the "script". When to gank which lane, when to provide support, when to initiate a team fight, all must be arranged in advance. Qiu Ying was so excited that her whole body was trembling, but she had to try her best to conceal the pride that was about to overflow from her face. "The commander of VPG is really amazing!"

Luyiyi seems to have found the final piece of the puzzle. Her expression became even more certain: "I remember now. Pei Xi once followed you from a distance before. If it weren't for his scandal with Qiao Xin, I would have suspected that he had a secret crush on you..."

It is Ji Xiangkong

The equipment left by Jixiang is mostly for sustaining health and resistance. They are tough and durable. Pei Xi depleted 80% of his health, but still let him escape.

VPG has destroyed the Legend's bottom high ground tower!

Qiuying couldn't help but stare at him--Your Qiaoxin is being affectionate and rubbing against others. You're not keeping an eye on her properly. You're always ruining the atmosphere. Thinking of this, her anger rose up: "Hey, I have something to tell you, but it's not convenient here."

That's right. The carry player Qi Yue in the bottom lane has hardly been disturbed and has developed very quickly.

As soon as he said this, in the official live broadcast room, the audience started spamming the barrage.

I come. I see. I conquer !

Legend did not want to give up the tower on the road. However, unexpectedly, the person who came was Pei Xi

The week-long playoffs have finally reached the day of the finals. Legend vs. VPG

A desperate struggle! VPG forcibly demolishes the base

In Conquer, every time a hero dies, their "value" decreases. The amount of money others receive for killing them will also diminish

A low, husky voice suddenly came from beside my ear: "What are you thinking about?"

An increasing number of people are expressing dissatisfaction with Qiao Xin Kong's operations while merely serving as a decorative figure at the commentary desk

The VPG opening went smoothly. Soon, with the strategy of "dual roaming with the jungle support," the situation was opened up. We secured first blood.

Qiao Xin shrugged: "I don't know. She came back late last night. The noise was too loud. It kept me awake. I just reminded her a bit. She probably wasn't happy about it, right?"

Pei Xi turned his head. His voice was cold: "What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Ji Xiangkong stopped in his tracks. The smile in his eyes deepened. He suddenly bent down and whispered in her ear: "Am I good at kissing? You can find out by trying, can't you?"

Lu Feng seemed to suddenly realize something: "No, that's not right. Xiang Kong mentioned before that he had already been dumped."

Ji found a tricky and concealed corner. Teleporting back to the battlefield in the bottom lane

Hard work on homework is useless. The ability to analyze the situation is what makes a powerful commentator!

You are simply inexplicable! Qiu Ying's eyes turned red. She was so angry that she wanted to push his head into the screen. She didn't care if it would affect his mood for the competition. She stomped her foot. "I just wanted to remind you out of goodwill! Qiao Xin is not a good match for you. She has long been in a relationship with your former teammate, Qi Yue!"

What's wrong? Did you guys have a fight?

The match has not yet reached twenty minutes. VPG's three lanes have collapsed.

Actually, she hadn't figured out how to tell him in a cryptic way that "you've been cheated on," according to Lu Yiyi. The flirtatious behavior between Qiao Xin and Qi Yue became increasingly obvious. Being exposed was only a matter of time. After speaking impulsively, Qiu Ying waited for him to turn and leave, or arrogantly reply with a "I'm busy." However, he just calmly looked at her for a moment and said, "Okay. After the next game, wait for me in the A10 lounge."

Hello. Xiang Kong. Pei Xi is undermining you! Lu Feng said nervously. "He said he had something to do and didn't come back with us. I saw him just now entering a small room. That Qiu Meimei is also inside. When she saw us passing by, Pei Xi directly closed the door!"

Qiu Ying remembered being often ridiculed for being too old-fashioned. Clearly, using a computer or a mobile phone for note-taking would be more efficient. Yet she stubbornly chose to use pen and paper, instinctively trying to reclaim her notes.

A professional player. If he switches to a new team, the entire team's style will change as a result. Then he is undoubtedly the soul of this team. For the current Legend, the soul of the team is Pei Xi. And VPG ーー.

After listening to her experience, Ji Xiangkong smiled disapprovingly and said, "The value lies in understanding, not in rote memorization. The contents in your notebook should have already been in your mind."

Four-one push. It means four people pushing together. Send another hero with teleportation or full map support capability to solo lane. When the four-person lane erupts into a team fight, the hero solo laning can choose to support or continue pushing the lane. This achieves the tactical effect of pushing towers or wiping out the enemy team.

The game is over. Qiao Xin and other commentators returned to the backstage together. They were all smiling happily, without any sense of shame. Qiu Ying felt nauseous and turned her head away when she greeted herself.

Ji Xiangkong's brows and eyes finally relaxed. He closed the notebook and tapped her on the head

The moment the host announced victory, the crowd at VPG jumped up from their seats. They excitedly raised their fists and cheered loudly. Shen Yue hugged Qi Yue in excitement. Lu Sheng slammed the table hard. Tong Wu heavily struck the keyboard!

... ...

I am merely speaking the truth. After all, many people believe that 'dual carry' relies solely on one carry to support the entire game

"Ji Xiangkong, this is a tactical shot!" Lu Yiyi exclaimed with a smile.

Ji Xiangkong sincerely applauded: "Yes. Thank you, Qiu, for providing popular science education to the general public"

There was clearly a distance between the two individuals. However, Ji Xiangkong appeared troubled, presenting a rather serious demeanor.

Upon seeing Jixiang Kong walking alone on the upper road after leaving the main force, Qiu Ying's heart immediately rose to her throat. "Four-one split push" strategy dictates that a lone player must not be killed by the enemy, otherwise the team will be down one player and easily wiped out! In addition, tower pushing must be decisive and support must be swift. This is yet another position where one can easily be blamed!

Ji Xiang looked down. A low chuckle was suppressed in his throat: "Isn't it just a stroll that brought me here to see you?"

Cris nodded silently

After finally finding some leisure time, she went to the break area to grab something to eat. While eating and walking, she was not paying attention to her surroundings and ended up bumping into a solid chest.

Everyone is deeply impressed by VPG's assistant Shen Yue, the caretaker. However, Poker initially debuted as a mid-laner. He is a fierce competitor in lane, known for his strong aggression. Today, he can be said to have liberated his bloodthirsty nature

After Ji Xiangkong left, Qiu Ying continued to prepare the materials for the commentary the day after tomorrow. Unknowingly, she dozed off on the sofa in the hallway. Her consciousness detached from her body. Her limbs grew increasingly cold. It felt as if she was continuously sinking to the bottom of a lake

The spectators watching the match from a god's-eye view burst into laughter: "This time he is all alone..."

A rhythmic sound echoed in my ears. Thud, thud, thud

VPG took the opportunity to push to the high ground and secured the first game

Forty-five minutes later. Legend made a comeback!

Whether it was just now or at present, she feels as if she is dreaming

As the crowd emerged from the spring, Qiu Ying's heart leapt to her throat. She almost forgot to breathe. In the next moment, amidst the deafening screams, the Legend base exploded

5 ーー 4 ーー 3 ーー 2 ーー

You mentioned before that you often see Pei Xi in Dream Traveler

VPG Crowd: To the sky. This level of difficulty is acceptable. Do not sacrifice yourself any further

Pei Xi spoke in a flat tone, her expression showing no change: "I have nothing to do with her."

It definitely won't be him

He continued, "A team battle involving ten players often ends before the audience even has time to react. The commentator needs to describe in detail the sequence of skill casts, positioning maneuvers, and the outcome of the battle within a very short time frame. This requires a solid background accumulation, a deep understanding of hero skills, equipment effects, and the individual players. It is impossible to learn this merely by sneaking a glance at a notebook"

In the afternoon, while busy in the background, Qiu Ying inadvertently came across a newly released live report. The reporter captured Qiao Xin, who was intently studying the match data in the break area. In front of her lay an open notebook, the layout of which seemed quite familiar.

You... you... you must not speak nonsense!

Cris couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This guy is acting up again..."

Qiu Ying said seriously: "His data is not good. But his performance is not bad. Although his hero Alchemist died many times, he didn't miss a single soldier he should have taken. He led the troops to destroy the towers and soon had enough money to buy core equipment."

Cris explained: "He wants to play 'Halo Flow'. Relying on the team's ranged enhancement buffs. The output is astonishing. However, the overall build is quite fragile"

On the commentary stage, Cris smiled and said: "Have you noticed? VPG has not selected the same hero in any of the five matches. The strategies in all five games are completely different"

Huo Yao was speaking halfway when he suddenly waved his hand towards the diagonal front and called out: "Qiu Ying! Come, come, come!"

Qiu Ying took a deep breath. Facing an enemy who was left with only a trace of blood and skin, Ji Xiangkong chose to subdue him without killing. In the heat of the moment on the battlefield, how much calmness is required!

I was just about to say that VPG's top lane died quite miserably. Then I took a look. It's Jixiangkong. "Lotian Guaner." "Then it's quite normal."

Pei Xigang awoke from a state of dizziness. Qi Yue and Ji Xiang seamlessly connected, quickly regaining control over him

Although there are more than 100 heroes in Conquer, as professional competitions progress, most teams are keen on finding a few optimal combinations or following trends. However, one individual stands out. His ideas are imaginative and unconventional strategies that few have utilized can be developed as core tactics by him. Throughout the year, the emergence of new lineups and new playstyles has led everyone to exclaim "acrobatics." Consequently, Legend has been labeled as "ingenious." The emergence of new lineups and new playstyles has led everyone to exclaim "acrobatics." Consequently, Legend has been labeled as "ingenious."

VPG is unstoppable! 0 changes to 4! Only Summit remains at the base!

The information in this statement is overwhelming. Lu Feng and Huo Yao burst into laughter, displaying an expression of schadenfreude, secretly delighted to the point of internal injury

Oh my! This person is so disgusting

Who brought her back

Summit has eliminated Poker and Lion

Qiu Ying nodded in a daze. Her cheeks could not help but flush. Suddenly, a gust of cool wind swept in. She turned her head and saw Pei Xi still standing in place, hands in his pockets, looking down at her with a glance.

Pei Xi did not know when he had stood beside them. He tilted his chin back and said, "Your teammate is looking for you"

Ji Xiangkong chuckled coldly, his shoulders shaking slightly: "It is indeed quite rare to hear such words come from your mouth"

Qiu Ying glanced at Qiao Xin and said lightly: "It won't be sent back. Ji Xiangkong has died so many times. Others can no longer gain anything by killing him."

You are right. My heart is quite fragile. You should be a little kinder to me

"Can't say? Is it really a confession?" Ji Xiang Kong slightly tilted his head. His peach blossom eyes remained gentle and smiling. However, his fingers suddenly slipped with force. A splash of fruit juice filled the screen. Qiu Ying shivered all over. She instantly felt a chill on her neck. It was as if the watermelon, split in half, was her own self.

VPG has not retreated! Continue the offensive in the center!

The grand music resounds. The promotional video for the game Conquer begins to play on the large screen. At times, there are flashes of lightning and thunder. At times, molten lava erupts. At times, the clash of swords is heard. Heroes storm cities and capture strongholds, their might overwhelming like a tiger. Ultimately, they ascend the high ground, turning magnificent structures into ruins. They sing the song of victory

Qiu Ying couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Really impressive. They are putting on a show as if there are a hundred thousand troops behind them"

She felt inexplicably guilty. But upon reflection, she realized that she was not anyone significant to him. She hadn't done anything wrong. Therefore, she confidently replied: "I don't see any need to report to you."

A sense of unprecedented stability and peace quietly roamed within her body. Qiu Ying feared that this feeling would dissipate. Therefore, she grasped everything she could hold onto.

Unbeknownst to her, Ji Xiang Kong had already stood beside her at some point, leaning against the railing while looking down at his phone.

Just now, Ji Xiangkong was struck by an arrow from the jungler Huo Yao of Legend and fell into a coma. The opponent moved forward to attack. Suddenly, two teammates rushed out from the bushes behind Ji Xiangkong and executed a counter-kill.

He paused for a moment, hoping that Qiao Xin would engage with him. However, Qiao Xin merely smiled at him and nodded.

In contrast, Qiao Xin quickly found herself at a loss as the competition progressed. Apart from reiterating the clichés of others, she showed no innovation. Lu Yiyi seized the opportunity to conduct an exclusive interview with Qiu Ying, and public opinion swiftly shifted direction

Ah?

A few more minutes passed. Xiao Xi suddenly slapped her thigh: "In a moment, there will be an empty space. At another moment, a big move will control four. Ji Xiang is a graduate of Beiying, right!"

After enlarging the image, Qiu Ying was shocked. What was written on it was exactly the content from her notes! She had copied it!

In the following days, Qiu Ying's performance on the commentary platform was nothing short of stunning

Luo Tian summarized the match situation: "Exciting! This set of tactics is very demanding to implement. It places great emphasis on team cooperation. The support and carry from VPG have truly put in a lot of effort!"

He appeared too suddenly. Qiu Ying felt inexplicably guilty: "I have something to discuss with Pei Xi..."

Even until now, she still cannot distinguish which of the words he said are true and which are false

Qiu Ying shuddered: "How is that possible!"

The expectations buried deep in her heart subtly began to emerge. Qiu Ying dared not think any further. Even though his actions were very intimate, she reminded herself not to take it seriously. Perhaps he was just joking. ... Perhaps this was merely his habitual tenderness ...

The smile on Ji Xiang's face faded as he looked into the empty space. The curve of his chin tightened accordingly. Pei Xi did not give him the chance to speak. With a bang, he closed the door.

What happened

Not far away, the Legend team happened to pass by. Qiu Ying instinctively looked over. At that moment, Pei Xi also turned his head. Their eyes met. Qiu Ying was startled, her whole body trembling.

They seized the opportunity to chat, laughing together from time to time. On their way back, Qiu Ying suddenly remembered something: "You are not familiar with Qiao Xin, are you?"

After returning to the hotel, Ji Xiangkong was concerned about Lin Yixuan's condition, so he bid farewell to his teammates. He had a meal at the same table with Huo Zhao and Lu Feng in the restaurant

You are so noisy. Are you going to let anyone sleep?

Game 3. The Legend lineup was targeted by VPG. VPG won again

After bidding farewell to Luo Tian, Qiu Ying encountered Qiao Xin in the restroom. Remembering the scene of competing on stage with her, a sense of resentment arose in her heart

However, this time the members of Legend hesitated and were reluctant to proceed

The Carry of Legend has finally been reborn! Meanwhile, VPG no longer has any ultimate abilities!

This match remains a showcase of the "dual roaming support and jungler" strategy. While other teams' supports diligently stay by their carries' sides, serving them like caretakers, VPG's support and jungler move stealthily across the map. They execute ambushes, seize resources, and secure kills and towers. This quickly shifts the momentum of the game, accumulating advantages for the carry and the mid-laner.
