Chapter 63 Abu angrily rebukes Ruo Buqun, Mingkai subtly reveals biblical words (Please continue reading!)
August 3rd.

Busan.

Zhou Li grumbled as he threw the instant noodles in front of him into the trash can.

"Stupid Koreans, they eat nothing but kimchi and instant noodles, how did this B race survive until 2012?"

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Joker couldn't help but retort:

"How come you still have the mood to study food here?"

Zhou Li looked up at the live broadcast on TV and said:

"What can we do? Big Nose wants to show off, and you, as the coach, don't dare to say a word. Let's finish this early and go home. I've already lost two pounds here."

The live stream was showing the first game of the quarterfinals match between WE and CLG.EU.

At this point, WE was already at a huge disadvantage and was about to lose the game.

CLG.EU is a world-class team from Europe and America.

The most famous player among them is their mid laner – one of the original European mid lane kings, the world's best Anivia player, Froggen.

As one of the earliest esports players, Rotroot, despite being a European or American player, enjoys a very high level of popularity in China.

One of the main reasons for this is that, in addition to all these titles, fermented bean curd root is also known as the world's number one brush.

Under his control, the Ice Bird could dominate all four lanes, single-handedly leading the team to a comeback victory despite having over 20,000 gold lost on all three lanes.

It's worth noting that their opponent at the time wasn't EDG, which is enough to prove the high quality of their game.

The rotten root has set numerous records for finishing blows.

Therefore, the CLG.EU team naturally developed the world's first four-protect-one strategy around the Rotten Root.

With the same strategy of one person taking on four lanes and the same team resources being tilted towards one, Zhou Li initially thought that the four-protect-one tactic was not working. However, after comparing it with Furougen, he realized that it was actually a certain 1 that was not working.

As for Ruofeng being blown up by the Rotting Flesh Root, it was something Zhou Li had anticipated.

Abu watched as the Ice Bird with Rotten Root used its ultimate ability to completely disrupt WE's formation on the live stream, preventing WeiXiao from getting close enough to deal damage. WeiXiao was eventually picked off one by one by the Ice Bird and pushed onto the high ground. Abu clenched his fists.

You have to understand that these days, all matches are best-of-three (BO3), and losing two games means you're eliminated.

"Brother Zhou, you're playing in the next match. If Big Nose disagrees, I'll be the first to punch him!"

Abu put his hands on his hips and said angrily.

Seeing Abu's appearance, Zhou Li was moved and his eyes welled up with tears.

The little boy I've raised with such care is finally able to share my burdens.

Unsurprisingly, WE quickly lost the match.

As Ruofeng led Mingkai and his group back to the lounge, Abu immediately spoke up:

"In the next round, Ruofeng, you can rest. Let Zhou Li play."

Upon hearing Abu's words, Mingkai, Weixiao, and the others, whose eyes had been somewhat dejected due to losing the game, instantly lit up as if they had grasped at a lifeline.

Ruofeng, however, seemed not to understand the current situation and still wanted to fight for himself.

"I didn't play well last game, mainly because I got caught out at level six. If Clearlove could have counter-ganked for me, the momentum would have been much better..."

Seeing that Ruofeng was still explaining, and even shifting the blame onto Mingkai again, Abu spoke up without any mercy:

"Stop making excuses! I've realized there's really something wrong with your thinking!"

He then looked at Mingkai and asked:
Why didn't you go to the next round even once in the last game?

When Abu asked him the question, Mingkai seemed a little aggrieved.

"The enemy jungler has been in our jungle the whole time, and the bot lane is calling me..."

"and many more!"

Zhou Li interrupted Ming Kai directly.

He patted Mingkai on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"No need to explain, now is not the time for you to use the Bible."

Mingkai was taken aback, clearly not understanding what Zhou Li was saying.

Only Zhou Li himself knows the immense contribution he just made to Chinese esports.

There isn't even a camera in the lounge now, and Mingkai just recited the Bible like that, wouldn't that deprive future generations of a timeless classic?

MarsTV.

"Viewers watching the live stream, you are now watching the quarterfinals of the 2012 OGN Summer League of Legends! The two teams facing off are CLG.EU from the European and American regions, and our domestic League of Legends team WE! I am your commentator, Su Xiaoyan!"

"I'm the commentator, Guns N' Roses!" Mars TV, which holds the exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2012 OGN Summer Championship in China, gained a lot of popularity and recognition because of this event.

Su Xiaoyan, a popular female commentator on Mars Live, seemed a little nervous at this moment.

It wasn't because of the high popularity in the live stream, but because her boyfriend might lose the game.

Su Xiaoyan and Weixiao had only been dating for a short time, but for that very reason, they were in the honeymoon phase.

Seeing the helplessness of Smile when facing Fermented Roots and Fermented Bird in the last game, Su Xiaoyan had already cursed Big Nose in her mind.

The good news was that the big nose was finally replaced, which eased Su Xiaoyan's anxiety a little.

Although Su Xiaoyan had never directly contacted Zhou Li, she was extremely familiar with him.

Because during his relationship with Weixiao, the topic they talked about most was Zhou rituals.

Su Xiaoyan still remembers that day when they were having dinner on their date, and he was smiling blankly at her.

Su Xiaoyan blushed slightly and asked Xiaoxiao why she was looking at her like that.

Smiling, she replied, "Your smile resembles that of Zhou Li."

"In the match that just ended, WE unfortunately lost the first game. Now WE has made a substitution in the mid lane position, replacing Ruofeng with our Lion!"

In the live stream, the chat was abuzz with discussion after WE made their roster change.

[Has the big nose gone down again?]

[WE dominates domestically, but when they encounter strong European and American teams, it's like children fighting adults.]

[The root of the fermented bean curd is too strong; even the trumpet-wielding guy seems ineffective.]

Indeed, the last game was suffocating; we could only watch helplessly as the opponent developed and slowly succumbed to their power.

[He earned nearly 300 dollars in 20 minutes, that's insane.]

[I remember once, when Trumpet Bro played Karthus, he got 302 CS in 23 minutes, right?]

[Okay, okay, WE's roster change makes sense, they're just trading kills, right?]

The only thing that can defeat a brush is a brush.

CLG players' bench.

After seeing WE's mid laner change, jungler Snoopeh laughed and said:

"Hey guys, what did the enemy mid laner switch to? They switched to a lion, hahaha."

Sboopeh's joke made everyone laugh.

Krepo, the assistant, spoke up:

"Froggen, watch out, he might eat you."

Hearing his teammates teasing him, Rotroot didn't seem to care.

"Misaya's performance disappointed me. If he is the best mid laner in China, it seems that Chinese League of Legends players are not that great. I've never even heard of Lion before."

Top laner Wickd chimed in:
"Exactly! China's best mid laner got completely destroyed by Froggen. What difference would it make if they replaced him with someone else?"

AD carry player Yellowpete has some concerns.

"Your performance was so outstanding last time, I'm worried they'll take away your Anivia."

"It's okay, I still have Karthus."

"What if we also ban Karthus?"

The rotting root fell silent.

Snoopeh, the jungler, laughed.

"Then let's wish froggen a happy retirement."

On the other side, in the WE player's seat, Smile was urging Strawberry to quickly take down Anivia.

In the previous game, once Rotting Roots' Anivia used her ultimate, he didn't even have a chance to touch the enemy, and the team fight collapsed immediately.

Just as Strawberry was about to knock down Ice Bird, Zhou Li stopped her.

"No need to worry, you can rest assured when your brother Zhou handles things."

Happy May Day everyone! Even if you're on holiday, remember to come visit me, okay?
