I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Chapter 132 2:0! The turtle is getting cocky.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan's commentary was full of passion.

"G2! Facing a huge advantage, they've decided to take a gamble! By the 26-minute mark, the gold difference between the two teams had reached nearly 10,000! And during this time, G2 hasn't even managed a proper 5v5 team fight! In this situation, G2 is instead trying to take Baron Nashor, forcing Snake into a team fight!"

"Snake really outmaneuvered G2 in this game. G2's lineup kept trying to engage in team fights, but Snake never gave them the chance! But now it seems like Snake is going to engage! They have a significant advantage in this team fight!"

'

"G2 completely abandoned the dragon fight! Gnar flashes in to initiate! Olaf activates his ultimate and Ghost! Taric activates his ultimate! Olaf charges into the crowd! Olaf gets trapped by Jarvan IV! Olaf can't escape! But Olaf doesn't die! Jarvan IV's ultimate ends, and Olaf tries to find Vayne! Vayne goes invisible! Olaf tries to chase Syndra! Syndra activates Zhonya's Hourglass! Olaf is determined to kill! Syndra's Zhonya's Hourglass ends! Syndra gets eaten by Tahm Kench! Olaf! Olaf is like a headless fly!!"

Trick is yelling, "Can someone let me chop this for you?!"

Olaf has fallen!

"Galio has entered the fray and hit three! Syndra has instantly killed Orianna! Vayne! Vayne is about to start reaping the rewards!!"

"Yes!"

The air above the Rio de Janeiro stadium was filled with the wild cheers of the audience!

"G2! Their team fight is on the verge of collapse! Tahm Kench uses his ultimate, along with Galio, to completely block G2's retreat! This wave of G2..."

"No one's leaving! Snake wiped out G2 in a team fight at the Baron pit at the 27-minute mark!!"

"This game is already decided!"

In the live stream chat, the chat was completely overflowing with comments.

Hahaha, this Olaf is hilarious!

G2 had been anticipating a team fight for 26 minutes, but once it started, they realized it would have been better not to have a team fight at all.

[It's tense; it feels like the Snake team is walking a dog.]

[This team composition was completely countered; otherwise, Olaf could have at least managed to kill one of them.]

[I'm Olaf, I'm conceding this game.]

Did nobody notice that A-P missed his ultimate?

【We got it!】

G2's team fight was already a do-or-die situation.

Now that they've been outscored 0-5, it's like they've lost their last hope.

The match between the two sides had entered garbage time.

At 29 minutes, Snake, with the Baron buff, pushed down G2's mid and top inhibitors and then secured their fourth dragon.

Snakes' bench.

Song Wen shouted that they should go wave after wave, while Wang Ke shouted that they should be steady and cautious.

In fact, given the economic disparity between the two teams, Snake Team could indeed end the game in one fell swoop.

But Wang Ke was actually intentionally preparing for the upcoming match against SKT, while also releasing some smokescreens.

No team or tactic is perfect. To avoid being targeted, it's common practice to hide some things when you have the ability. The competition between professional teams goes far beyond the few hours of face-to-face battles on the field.

At that moment, Kouma, in the hotel, was writing a few words on his folder: "Extreme pursuit of stability."

At 34 minutes, taking advantage of their vision, Snake team caught and killed Orianna and Gnar, and then immediately began rushing Baron.

After securing Baron Nashor, Snake immediately took down the newly spawned Elder Dragon.

With the two dragons combined, Snake ultimately pushed down G2's base in one fell swoop!

"Congratulations to Snake! They've won the second game, taking a 2-0 lead and reaching match point!"

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan and Ji De shouted excitedly.

"Snake played incredibly steadily. Even with such a huge economic advantage, they still secured both dragons before ending the game. This team gives me only one feeling right now: suffocation. Facing them, you simply can't find any weaknesses or loopholes to give you any hope of a comeback. G2 lost both of these games for the same reason: once they fall behind early on, it's an endless vicious cycle, with Snake constantly snowballing their advantage! It's so disheartening!"

"Yes."

G2 players' bench.

Ah P stared blankly at his screen; the bright red "defeat" stung his eyes.

Being crushed in both games, especially with his mid-lane position being completely destroyed, has shattered A-P's pre-match confidence into dust.

The G2 players, who were still joking and teasing each other in the first game, were clearly getting thoroughly beaten in the second game.

Jungler Trick's mentality wasn't much better than Perkz's.

Playing Olaf, I activated my ultimate and charged into the enemy team, only to be kited like a dog. Who understands that feeling of having the strength but being unable to use it?

Perhaps only Darius players would understand.

With Snake Esports winning the second game of the semifinals, the official Snake Esports account finally started pushing MSI-related information on the Chinese internet.

After all, Snake Esports is about to enter the finals, and they will be facing off against the three-time world champion SKT, a team that generates a lot of buzz. You can imagine how much attention they will receive.

In fact, Laopi Lao has prepared two sets of publicity and marketing plans for this MSI.

If Snake falls before the finals, the internet will be flooded with negative articles about Snake.

If the Snake team makes it to the finals, then Lao Pi Lao will definitely take the opportunity to rake in a huge amount of traffic.

They won the championship, let's give them a big shout-out! The Snake Team is our team that's always so great.

Even if they are defeated by SKT, the prepared negative articles can still come in handy.

In fact, the relationship between each club and the official Laopi Lao (a martial arts website) can be compared to the relationship between the various sects and the leader of the martial arts alliance in a martial arts novel.

The leader of the martial arts alliance can make appeals and suggestions, but has no right to directly govern sects.

However, if your sect goes against the alliance leader, then the alliance leader can naturally call on and suggest that other sects besiege you, and then make things difficult for you in terms of resource allocation.

However, if your sect is like the Ming Cult, and the six major sects can't do anything to you even when they besiege Bright Peak, then the final outcome will definitely be that the six sects and the Ming Cult completely put aside their past grievances and join forces to resist the Yuan Dynasty.

Snakes' rest room.

At this moment, the members of the Snake Team were in an unusually excited state.

This was their first time participating in a global competition, and now that they were about to enter the finals, it was natural that they couldn't contain their emotions.

Not to mention them, even Wang Ke was extremely excited.

Thinking back to six months ago, I was holed up in my rented room, eating takeout meals and writing a terrible novel that nobody cared about, and I was a complete flop.

They've already started their assault on the MSI championship trophy.

Only Song Wen didn't have any particular feelings about this.

After all, he has already won six World Championship titles, and he has won MSI titles with ease, so his current achievements are really nothing to him.

Seeing that Wang Ke was somewhat smug and didn't immediately call the team to review the game and discuss tactics as usual, Song Wen said, "Wang Ke, do you want me to buy you a bottle of champagne to pop?"

Hearing Song Wen's words, Wang Ke didn't take them seriously, thinking Song Wen was joking. He chuckled and said, "Zhu Kai! Get us a bottle of champagne!"

Zhu Kai naturally obeyed Wang Ke's every word, immediately taking out his phone and saying, "Don't worry, Brother Wang. Although there's no food delivery service in Brazil yet, I've already done my research. I've saved the contact information for all the restaurants and convenience stores."

"Well done, Zhu Kai!"

Wang Ke patted Zhu Kai on the shoulder reassuringly.

Looking at Wang Ke, Song Wen couldn't help but say, "You're getting a little too cocky, aren't you?"

Wang Ke ignored Song Wen and said with a smile, "Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Seeing Wang Ke and the others' pathetic state, Song Wen stood up and walked outside.

"You guys continue, I'm going to take a dump."

Song Wen walked out of the lounge, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and when he turned to leave, he saw that Wang Ke was already standing at the door.

"You're here to take a dump too?"

"I’m waiting for you."

Seeing Song Wen's puzzled look, Wang Ke said, "League of Legends: The Super Demon King, with a total of 1.85 million words and 674 chapters, took me ten months to write. In those ten months, I only wrote the scene of the protagonist Song Wen taking a dump once."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Song Wen's lips twitched.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Ke said in a cheeky tone, "According to the setting, you only need to poop once every ten months, so you definitely didn't come out here to poop."

Wang Ke's words instantly enraged Song Wen, who kicked him.

"Are you fucking an idiot?! Who fucking poops only once every ten months?! You think it's like being pregnant for ten months?!"

Wang Ke deftly dodged to the side, casually pulling a chocolate bar from Song Wen's pocket and putting it in his mouth.

"Hey buddy, do you look down on me? Do you think I'm getting arrogant?"

Song Wen was stunned and looked at Wang Ke in disbelief.

"What was that movement technique you used just now?"

"That's right, it's the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)."

The casual banter dissolved the estrangement between the two.

"What mischief are you up to now, you little rascal?"

Hearing Song Wen's question, Wang Ke said, "To be honest, I did get a little cocky just now. But seeing your sour face reminded me of a scene in my novel where someone pops champagne halfway through the game, so I've sobered up."

The scene of opening champagne at halftime is such a classic. As a mature author, Wang Ke has written this kind of plot countless times, so it's impossible for him to step on such a landmine again.

"When I came to my senses, I realized that I wasn't the only one who was getting cocky. The whole team, except for you, was getting incredibly cocky. Of course, I can understand that, since it was everyone's first time playing in a competition like this and they were able to achieve good results. In that kind of situation, just suppressing them probably wouldn't be very effective. As the saying goes, you can't teach someone to learn something, but you can learn it after just one lesson. Since everyone's getting cocky, why not just let them get cocky? We can also use this as a smokescreen for SKT."

Song Wen looked at Wang Ke with confusion: "Are you planning to concede in the third round?"

"How could that be? Isn't our Double Flower Red Stick Brother Wen here?"

'

Hearing the ease in Wang Ke's tone, Song Wen laughed angrily: "You fucking schemed against me? I've been reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms lately, and I've discovered that you're exactly like that turtle."

"His name is Jia Xu! And do you expect Ah P to give you a hard time later?"

Wang Ke reached for Song Wen's chocolate bar again, but Song Wen dodged it with a quick movement.

"You're fucking stingy! You eat my food every day, can't you even buy your own?"

"Mainly because I'm not really addicted. I'll eat something if I feel like it, and I won't if I don't. Besides, I invest all my money, don't I?"

Song Wen laughed angrily, "You shameless bastard from the pharmacy!"

Wang Ke chuckled: "During the match later, you can curse me like this, curse me hard, and we'll put on a show of brothers breaking up."

"Are you treating them like Japanese people by doing this?"

"Hey, isn't this all for their own good? Don't you understand my good intentions?"

Seeing Song Wen turn and leave without saying a word, Wang Ke spoke up: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Don't fucking talk to me, you turtle! I'm already in character!"

'

"Jia Xu!!"

"Viewers watching the live stream, you are now watching the semifinals of the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational! I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan!"

"I'm the commentator, Ji De!"

"My commentator is—Rita!"

The three commentators were beaming and in high spirits.

As Laopi Lao's official channels began promoting the product, the popularity of the live stream continued to rise.

"In the second game that just concluded, Team Snake demonstrated their formidable strength, successfully winning the game and taking a 2-0 lead, reaching match point! Now, they are just one step away from the final!"

After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Ji De continued, "Yes! In the first two matches, overall, the outcome was almost entirely predictable. Hopefully, the Snake Team can maintain this form and win 3-0 to avoid any unforeseen complications!"

"Yes!"

G2 players' bench.

Tension was evident on everyone's face.

As the game reached a do-or-die situation, everyone was under even greater psychological pressure, which led to a significant decrease in communication via voice chat, with the coach essentially acting as a one-man show.

In contrast, the atmosphere on the Snake team's side was noticeably better.

The group chatted and laughed, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Brothers, it's the last game, let's give it our all and win it."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, everyone responded in unison.

"Three to zero! I don't want to work overtime!"

"Holy crap, we're off to beat SKT, guys!"

Wang Ke said with a smile, "I feel like G2 is a bit trash. I guess their mentality has been broken by now. Just play it by yourselves in this game, and show off some of your signature moves."

Wang Ke's words immediately put the fan on alert, and she couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Can I play Graves?"

After all, Wang Ke already has a criminal record.

When they played against RNG, Wang Ke said the same thing before the match, but when the match started, he immediately picked Sejuani for them.

This time, however, Wang Ke agreed particularly readily.

"Sure, of course you can play Graves!"

Wang Ke's decisiveness, ironically, left the fans bewildered.

I always felt that Wang Ke was being sarcastic or sarcastic.

To Saofen's surprise, Wang Ke directly told Flandre, "Xiao Lan, just give Saofen Graves!"

It wasn't until Wang Ke urged him on that Flandre finally locked in Graves, and everyone realized that Wang Ke really wasn't joking.

The already inflated egos then began to express their own thoughts.

"Hey bro, wanna play Draven again? My Draven can easily crush that noob!"

"OK, take Draven!"

"How about I play Lucian top lane? That way I can have some flexibility."

Hearing Flandre's words, Song Wen couldn't take it anymore and cursed, "You fucking bastards, Graves, Lucian, Draven, is this a lineup even a human could pick? Do you even want to win?!"

Hearing Song Wen's angry outburst, Sao Fen chuckled and said, "Brother Wen, didn't we also use a 3AD lineup before, and we still won?"

"I'll beat you XXXXX!"

Song Wen's insults were so vulgar that Wang Ke couldn't help but frown.

"Lao Song, you're getting a little too excited."

However, he still said to Flandre, "Top lane Lucian is really going too far, let's switch to another champion."

Saint Gunner clearly knew he had gone a bit too far, and said, "Then let's go with Gnar."

"OK!" Song Wen nodded. "Then I want to play mid-lane Corki."

At this moment, looking at the incredible lineup Snake Esports had chosen, the commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow—Snake Esports has picked a three-marksman, three-core lineup!"

Fortunately, Guan Zeyuan was in the commentary booth today. Having witnessed Lucian's jungle play since his debut, Guan Zeyuan is just a little bit of a veteran when he sees this scene.

"There's a reason behind this lineup! We know Snake Esports has used a 3-AD lineup before and won the game! And look, Corki has AP damage! So it's not exactly a physical damage team. Snake Esports' lineup has very high teamfight damage!"

"Yes."

Guan Zeyuan's words seemed reasonable and well-founded, but this time, even Rita, who is usually steadfast, became somewhat hesitant.

Both teams quickly finalized their lineups.

Blue side: G2 Esports Club VS Red side: Snake Esports Club.

Top lane: (Ecept) Rumble vs. (Flandre) Gnar.

Jungle: (Trick) Lee Sin VS (sofm) Graves.

Mid lane: (perkz) Orianna VS (black) Corki.

ADC: (Zven) Caitlyn vs. (Kryst4I) Draven.

Support: (mithy) Alistar VS (white) Thresh.

In the live stream, viewers couldn't help but get excited looking at the Snake team's lineup.

[Isn't this draft a bit outrageous?]

I can't even pick this kind of lineup in ranked games.

Did Shiro get dizzy from the shock while resting?

[Isn't this lineup going to crumble with just one push?]

[6666, they're not even treating G2 like human anymore.]

G2 players' bench.

Seeing the unusual lineup chosen by the opposing team, everyone was annoyed.

This lineup is indeed a bit too insulting.

Meanwhile, in Lee Sang-hyeok's room, Koma frowned as he looked at the Snake team's lineup.

"Is Snake serious about this draft?"

He had reviewed many of Snake Elves' matches, and the one that impressed him most was the draft picks and bans (BP) from the player White.

And command.

But the lineup they brought out today was somewhat of a surprise.

They lack control and, although they appear to be long-range heroes, their actual range isn't particularly long, and they don't have much poke.

Abilities. All three positions are ADCs, and all are extremely gold-dependent heroes. If they don't farm well, they can easily become invisible.

He had certainly watched Snake's match against RNG with a 3AD lineup, but the two were completely incomparable.

At that time, Vayne was playing top lane against Cho'Gath, and she could steadily dominate the lane and farm. The mid laners, Lucian and Draven, ensured the team's strength in the early and mid-game. Most importantly, the jungler in that game was Elise! The jungler could constantly move around to help the lanes establish an advantage!

However, in this game, their jungler was Graves, a farming champion whose ganking ability was very weak. Also, whether it was Corki versus Orianna in the mid lane, or Draven versus Caitlyn in the bot lane, they didn't have much of an advantage in their lanes!

Koma's first reaction was whether Snake Esports had come up with some new tricks, since this team has always liked to research new strategies.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what kind of tricks this lineup could pull off.

Moreover, if we put ourselves in their shoes, with the team already leading 2-0, there's absolutely no need to pull out any tricks. If they really have any tricks up their sleeves, wouldn't it be better to save them for the finals and use them to surprise the opponent?

Faker adjusted his glasses and muttered, "Their lineup is going to be hard to beat. To win, it feels like it all depends on the mid laner's performance. If the mid laner doesn't farm well, it feels like we'll get pushed down."

woIf's thought was somewhat similar to Koma's: "Are they going to pull out something weird again?"

Huni said, "It feels like they just picked randomly. They probably thought they had it in the bag, so they just played whatever they wanted and had some fun."

Kouma was initially undecided, but soon, less than ten minutes into the match, he knew that this time it really was a close call.

You're right.

In this game, Snake not only made terrible draft picks, but also demonstrated a complete lack of discipline and teamwork, which he had just praised.

Four minutes into the game, Snake's jungler recklessly invaded G2's jungle, only to be caught and killed instead.

Six minutes later, Lee Sin, with the help of Rumble, ganked and killed Gnar in the top lane.

Only A-P in the mid lane performed consistently, but he was solo killed by the Corki after the game reached level six.

But soon, Orianna and Lee Sin arrived at the bottom lane and initiated a four-man tower dive.

The male gunner arrived in time to provide support, but ended up getting a 1-for-3 trade.

Fortunately, Draven received the passive bounty before he died.

But this can only be considered a small consolation, because G2's Caitlyn got two kills in this tower dive.

Ten minutes into the game, Graves got lost in the jungle and was caught and killed by G2. Fortunately, Corki arrived shortly after and secured the kill on Lee Sin. However, Gnar clearly got carried away and continued to chase, only to be killed by the rest of G2.

Watching the chaotic game, Kouma looked at the few words he had just written in his hand: Extreme Steadiness.

He thought for a moment and then added a question mark at the end.

Meanwhile, the commentators in the commentary booth were also getting restless.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Snake, despite being behind in gold, inexplicably engaged in a team fight near the Dragon pit.

As a result, G2 managed to trade two for four in this team fight!
