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

Chapter 137 1:0! Trouble is brewing!

"SKT pushed down Snake's outer bottom lane turret! White and Crystal played very steadily, trying to farm minions in front of the second turret, but SKT seemed to be planning to push further. Fortunately, SoFine and Black had already moved in, so SKT had no choice but to retreat."

"Bang has a significant economic lead in his lane, and SKT has immediately switched to the mid lane! But Snake clearly anticipated SKT's lane swap, and Crystal and White arrived in the mid lane immediately."

"SKT really wants to take down Snake's mid turret. But the two sides have been locked in a stalemate in the mid lane for a while. Kled just used his ultimate! Trying to dive!! But Galio also used his ultimate! Both top laners have been keeping an eye on the mid lane the whole time!!"

"Snake team is very determined to protect the mid tower! SKT has been holding out in the mid lane for five minutes already."

"SKT's lane swap caught Snake off guard, and Bang and Wolf immediately decided to rotate top! That meant they couldn't hold the top tower anymore and had to concede!"

The match has reached the seventeen-minute mark.

At this point, both the Jade Goddess and the Wind Goddess had already made the incense burner.

Just when everyone thought the Snake team was about to unleash their full potential, they continued to play very conservatively.

Ardent Censer can indeed provide a significant boost to an ADC, but at this point in time, Kalista had only just acquired Ninja Tabi and Blade of the Ruined King.

In this game, Snake Team's lineup relied almost entirely on Kalista for damage output.

On the other hand, SKT's early-game burst damage from Kled, Lee Sin, and Zed makes them very vulnerable to getting into trouble even with Ardent Censer available during team fights.

In Wang Ke's view, to join a team, one must at least wait until Kalista has two or more pieces.

During this period, things that should be given up were given up!

SKT clearly understood this as well, so they immediately sped up the pace when their lineup was in its strongest phase.

Twenty minutes later, Snake's outer mid-lane turret was destroyed, while SKT also secured their third dragon.

On the commentary desk, seeing SKT's smooth dragon-taking rhythm, and with the next dragon being a fire dragon, Guan Zeyuan said with some concern, "Although Snake's current situation is still acceptable with this lineup, SKT's dragon rhythm is too good! Taking the third dragon in twenty minutes means that SKT could even take down five dragons before the Elder Dragon spawns! This could give SKT the ability to fight Snake in the late game!"

In this version, the small dragon will spawn 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the game, and then spawn every 6 minutes. After 35 minutes, the small dragon will no longer appear, and the Elder Dragon will spawn instead.

If Snake continues with this non-resistant attitude, given SKT's current pace, they can easily take two more dragons at 26 and 32 minutes!

While the current version of the dragon strategy isn't very valuable, this only applies when you only need to secure one or two dragons!

After all, it's practically impossible for one team to take all the dragons in a single match.

If you can get more than three small dragons, then the attribute bonuses from the small dragons will be very considerable.

However, it seems that SKT has now achieved this!

Snake's completely passive playstyle infuriated LPL viewers.

【Wait, what kind of cowardly game is this?】

[666, we've already given up the bottom tower, the top tower, the middle tower, and the dragon, so why not just give up the base too?]

[The incense burner has already been released, let's raid!]

[This makes me sick. I'd rather the team die in a raid than suffer this slow death.]

[The Snakes' entire team agrees with Gandhi.]

"The Living Buddha, reborn, could not bear to kill any living being," he said.

Why didn't Guan Zeyuan say—covering up the IDs on both sides, I thought the one on the right was SKT.

【Yes. 】

Although netizens were angry at their lack of competitiveness, the Snake team still performed very well in the game.

At 22 minutes, Huni split-pushed in the top lane and destroyed Snake's outer top lane turret.

At 24 minutes, SKT destroyed Snake's outer bottom lane turret.

On the other hand, SKT only lost their top and bottom outer turrets, and Snake couldn't even take down SKT's mid outer turret.

At this point, the economic gap between the two sides had reached seven thousand!

Meanwhile, SKT has already started building vision around the fourth dragon.

Wang Ke noticed that Kalista had already pulled out a Guinsoo's Rageblade from her item inventory and said, "Holy Gun Bro, you go to mid lane and push the wave out. The rest of you come with me to secure vision around the Dragon pit."

Meanwhile, on the SKT players' bench.

Huni was in a great mood, bragging and boasting.

In this match, he played Kled against Galio in the top lane, and it was a purely spinning top-heavy laning phase.

With SKT currently in such a favorable position, Huni chuckled and said, "Oh, it seems like the other team is already scared just by seeing our team's name prefix. They're playing so timidly, it's making it really unpleasant for me. Can't they fight me head-on like men?"

Upon hearing Huni's words, Wolf said, "Be careful, I feel like they're about to engage in a team fight around the dragon."

Lee Sang-hyeok, who had just returned to the spring, stared blankly at the store for a while.

His economy is now good enough for him to buy a third completed Duskblade.

However, after thinking about it, Lee Sang-hyeok finally gave up the idea and took out the mercury ribbon.

The opposing team has a lot of crowd control to prevent them from engaging. If a team fight really breaks out, then compared to Duskblade, Quicksilver Sash's crowd control immunity can provide him with more room to maneuver.

Seeing that Snake had begun clearing vision in their own jungle and pushing towards the Dragon pit, SKT quickly moved in as well.

huni appeared exceptionally excited.

In fact, Huni has never really taken LPL top laners seriously, which has led him to have certain stereotypes about LPL players.

After all, his performance in S5 really made him laugh.

Furthermore, the fact that Flandre played exceptionally cautiously due to tactical requirements gave Huni even more confidence.

Upon seeing the positions of the Snake team members, Huni, who had been farming all game, immediately shouted, "I can initiate! I'll just use my ultimate to charge at the AD carry!"

Upon hearing Huni's words, Wolf immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't rush, don't rush!"

Kled's ultimate can indeed be used to engage in skirmishes, but this approach is more suitable for ganking the side lanes. The opposing team is currently grouped up in four, and Galio in the mid lane can use his ultimate at any time. Kled rushing in will not only pose little threat to Kalista, but will also easily cause their team to become disjointed.

woIf's idea was to first spread out the formation and then let Peanut's Lee Sin look for opportunities.

However, Snake Esports clearly didn't intend to give SKT time to think. Despite being at a disadvantage, they immediately started attacking the dragon as soon as it spawned.

SKT has the advantage, and with three dragons in hand, there's no reason for them to try and out-smite Snake.

Huni clearly couldn't hold back any longer, and bursting with confidence, he unleashed his ultimate move!

"I'll just drive it!!"

The enraged knight, riding a lizard, is heading straight for Kalista!

Seeing that Huni had already initiated the fight, SKT had no choice but to start this team fight as well.

Despite Kled's angry outburst, Crystal remained calm and composed.

Kled's development was indeed very good in this game.

In this situation, given Kled's burst damage, a squishy AD carry like Kalista could probably be killed by Kled in just a few hits.

But in this game, he had Janna and Ivern behind him.

SKT clearly doesn't realize just how disgusting Snake's Ardent Censer lineup is.

With Ivern and Janna having Ardent Censers, Kalista's Ardent Censer buff can remain active throughout a team fight without dropping!

Kled charged at Kalista's face, but after slashing down, he realized the damage was wrong, because Kalista hadn't even lost any health!

With the mobility provided by her skateboard shoes, Kalista made Kled's Q skill miss completely.

Immediately, Ivern dropped a clump of grass behind Spear of Vengeance, causing Huni to lose sight of Kalista.

Huni's confident charge failed to force out any of his skills.

Peanut hit Ivern with his Q skill, and while flying with the second part of his Q, he instantly jumped to a ward in front of Kalista and used his R-Flash to try to kick Kalista back.

But Crystal was completely focused at that moment and gave him no chance, directly using Flash.

At the same time, Galio's ultimate ability has already locked onto Kalista!

Seeing that the first wave of attack was perfectly countered by the Snake team, Lee Sang-hyeok immediately set his sights on Janna!

"Janna in a flash!"

As he shouted in the voice chat, he activated Youmuu's Ghostblade and WEQ quickly rushed towards Janna.

Kled, having been knocked off his horse by Kalista, immediately turned to attack Janna, hoping to build up his rage and remount.

But just as they were about to make their move, Kalista had already captured Janna and put her into a Poké Ball.

Then he simply left it behind him.

At the same time, Galio's ultimate ability descended from the sky, knocking Peanut's Lee Sin and Huni's Kled away at the edge.

Without hesitation, Flandre used his W-Flash to directly control both of them!

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan excitedly shouted, "Galio taunted two people! Kalista is still dealing damage! Kled is covered in spears! woIf came over to try and eat Kled, but Kalista instantly killed Kled with her spears!! Faker found a position and used his ultimate on Kalista! Can he kill her?! Faker's items are very good! Crystal absolutely cannot die! White's Janna immediately activated her ultimate, and Kalista was saved! Wait! Black! Flash and ultimate suppressed Bang's Caitlyn!! He knows Faker..."

With Mercury's Treads, after seeing that Kalista was out of danger, he immediately flashed and controlled Bang!

"Bang, you can't escape this wave! Tahm Kench just devoured the low-health Lee Sin! Kalista steps in to deal damage and secures a double kill!"

The policewoman didn't even manage to use Flash! SKT is going to lose this team fight!!

Kled and Caitlyn were killed, while Lee Sin and Zed were left with very low health.

On the other hand, the Snake team's health was still above half!

Clearly, SKT is out of the game in this team fight!

Fortunately, Snake Team's lineup didn't have much chasing ability, allowing the other three members of SKT to escape smoothly.

But to fight like this with a 7,000 gold lead is clearly unbelievable.

"oh!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

The live stream was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

[Wow, Snake Esports is really that strong in team fights?]

[Snake Team's lineup is actually quite easy to counter; you just need to eliminate Kalista or Janna quickly. The problem is, they simply can't eliminate them.]

Malzahar didn't even use his ultimate for defense this time.

[Janna didn't use Flash, so it feels like there's still room for error.]

Holy crap, those two Ardent Censers are insane! Kalista's two items are practically giving her a nervous twitch.

So, is it safe to play with incense burners?

In the live stream, after driving SKT away, Snake continued to fight for the dragon.

Peanut, however, was clearly still up to his old tricks and wanted to steal Xiaolong's dragon.

As a result, Janna's Sonic Wave was interrupted by a perfectly timed Q placed outside the dragon pit, blocking vision and giving away a kill.

After this team fight, Snake didn't actually gain much advantage, only securing a dragon and three kills. There weren't many resources to contest afterwards, and the gold difference between the two sides remained at over 5,000.

But now, everyone's predictions for the two teams' winning percentages have been completely reversed.

"Wow, Snake Team's lineup is disgusting! Facing Kled's charge and a well-farmed Zed dealing damage, they still managed to protect Kalista! And with Janna protected by Kalista's ultimate, they can't be killed at all! With a 7,000 gold difference between the two teams, who would have thought that the team fight would turn out like this?"

Hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Wang Duoduo said, "I remember reading in the novel about the six-time champion that the Ardent Censer lineup isn't necessarily invincible, but the Kalista and Janna combination is almost invincible. From the written description alone, I couldn't quite grasp it back then, but today's team fight by Snake Team completely embodied it. They gave us the most direct feeling: I'm telling you outright, you only need to kill my AD to win, but the problem is, you just can't kill my AD!"

"Yes."

Guan Zeyuan asked with some surprise, "Another six-time champion? Did you come up with this lineup for the Snake Team from some novel?"

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Wang Duoduo hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to speak.

Compared to Ji De, Wang Duoduo loves to read books in his spare time.

The novel about the six-time champion is currently nearly 600,000 words long, and he has read it over and over again seven or eight times.

Many of the details made him realize that something was amiss.

That's where many things in the novel overlap with reality, especially regarding the Snake team's matches.

After thinking it over, Wang Duoduo decided that he should still show off his skills in the commentary booth.

After all, he is still a new commentator and needs more buzz to help him establish himself in the commentary booth.

"Actually, I've read the novel about the Six-Crown King at least seven or eight times."

Upon hearing Wang Duoduo's words, Guan Zeyuan looked surprised: "Seven or eight times? You just read it over and over again? I remember that book has over 600,000 words now, right?"

"Yes," Wang Duoduo nodded, "After watching it so many times, I actually have two guesses."

"What conjecture?"

Wang Duoduo smiled and said, "Because we all know that White is in charge of Snake's draft and tactics. But after I studied the novel by the Six-Crown King repeatedly, I found that many of the tactics used by Snake were actually recorded in the novel."

At first, I thought White, like me, was studying the novel to develop his tactics, but I quickly checked the timeline between the novel and reality and found something was wrong.

At this point, both sides in the competition returned to a period of slower development, and Wang Duoduo's narration naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.

Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? I've been reading that book lately too."

Wang Duoduo hesitated again, but finally said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but I carefully checked the release dates of each chapter of the novel 'Six-Crown King' and discovered something. The tactics proposed in the first seventy chapters were ahead of their time! There were many readers questioning this in the chapter reviews at the time. Then I went and reviewed the Snake Team's game footage from that period, and found that the tactical content in 'Six-Crown King' was often validated in Snake Team's games after its release!"

Guan Zeyuan asked in surprise, "You mean, White may have noticed this novel back then and then verified it?"

Their words sparked a flurry of discussion in the live stream chat.

[Does this mean that all the draft picks and tactics used are copied from novels?]

Is 6666 really that outrageous?

I initially thought he'd produced something of value, but it turns out he's just a plagiarist?

【No, what right does someone who sells for free have to target those who sell for illegally?】

I am the author of this novel, and I have filed a lawsuit against Bai Chu.

[I'm a reader of the six-time champion, and I've wanted to say this for a while now, are you only just realizing it?]

I just downloaded the app; I'm going to check out what's going on.

【+10086. 】

However, Wang Duoduo shook her head in response to Guan Zeyuan's speculation.

"That's what I thought at first too, but then I realized something was wrong. After chapter 70, the novel *Six Crowns* rarely mentions new tactics. Instead, it changes its writing style. If before chapter 70 it was the real-life Snake Esports team copying the Snake Esports team in the novel, after chapter 70 it becomes the novel's Snake Esports team copying the real-life Snake Esports team!"

Wang Duoduo's words made Guan Zeyuan's eyes widen, clearly not understanding for a moment.

"I carefully checked the time! I found that after Chapter 70, the Snake Team usually finishes a game in reality and develops a new strategy or lineup. The novel will then apply the Snake Team's lineup to the game and provide an extremely detailed lineup analysis."

Guan Zeyuan clearly hadn't understood yet, and asked in confusion, "That's strange, why is that?"

Wang Duoduo organized her thoughts and said in as tactful a way as possible, "I think this is just my personal guess. The author of Six-Crown King might have initially just wanted to write something casually to record some things, but then he suddenly became popular, and there were some things he couldn't publish in advance so that too many people could see them. So after becoming popular, he immediately changed his writing style —"

Wang Duoduo looked at Guan Zeyuan: "Do you understand what I mean?"

Guan Zeyuan shook his head in confusion: "I don't understand."

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Rita suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, "I know! You suspect that the author of 'Six-Crown King' is White himself! The novel wasn't popular before, so he dared to include the tactical details in it beforehand. But after the book became a hit, and people in the industry were studying it, he stopped writing for fear of leaking the tactics!"

Wang Duoduo stared at Rita in disbelief.

He never expected that this woman, who was either silent or, when she did speak, could trick him like this.

Normally, with things like this, if everyone makes reasonable guesses, and we tacitly agree not to mention names, those who understand will understand, then that's enough, right?

After all, he didn't have any evidence.

If anything goes wrong, he can get away with it.

But what do you mean by labeling him like this now?

This startled Wang Duoduo, who quickly shook her head and said, "You can't say things like that. I've never said anything like that."

When Wang Duoduo denied it, Rita was taken aback: "Huh? Did I misunderstand?"

Wang Duoduo nodded, then mimicked Rita meaningfully: "Yes."

However, what they said on stage had already gone viral in the live stream!

[Me? Is what Wang Duoduo said true or false?]

[Having won six championships twice sounds plausible.]

So, was the author of "Six-Crown King" really just making things up for nothing?

[No way, didn't they say the author was a factory manager before?]

[It seems highly likely that he's just making a quick buck. It perfectly fits his "scumbag" persona.]

[Me: Does his behavior count as leaking the team's tactics?]

You know, it's actually hard to say.

[I've already said I stopped writing after chapter 70, but it's hard to say exactly what happened before that.]

[The key point is that I remember the book about the six-time champions, which was full of sarcastic remarks about the club and the dog, haha.]

[By leaking tactics, smearing other professional players, and having a grudge against the LPL officials, if this is investigated, he could face serious consequences.]

【Seriously?! This kind of thing in the finals?!】

[Wait a minute, I remember when the Snake Team played, the author of "Six-Time Champion" was interacting with readers in the comments section.]

[Bai Chu didn't play at the time! Do you see him still playing after he did?]

【I! Solved the case!】

I'll go ask in the comments section right now.

Snakes' bench.

At this moment, Wang Ke was unaware that his disguise was about to be exposed, and was happily exchanging greetings with Song Wen.

The constant bickering between the two older men in the group kept the other three in a state of high tension.

This, in turn, allowed SKT to find opportunities several times, but Snake Esports managed to thwart them all under high pressure and high focus.

However, SKT quickly found a solution.

In the Aroma Burner lineup, the top lane is very important.

Because the Ardent Censer composition lacks sufficient initiation capabilities, the top lane needs a split-pushing champion to create pressure and create pressure.

However, in this game, Snake's top laner was Galio.

While Galio can indeed split push, he's not quite up to par when facing Kled.

So SKT started a 4-1 split push, trying to distract the Snake team.

Although Galio couldn't push out of lanes, his tower defense and wave clear speed was still very fast, so SKT's 4-1 split push was only so-so.

And so the two teams remained deadlocked.

At the 32-minute mark, Xiaolong refreshed the score again.

SKT clearly still wants to try a head-on team fight.

As a result, Kalista, who already had three items, taught SKT a solid lesson.

At this moment, any fancy maneuver seems ridiculous and laughable in front of Kalista.

So what if you, Klee, slap me in the face?

So what if I take a full-sized hit from your thief?

I don't have any skills, I'm just a bunch of numbers!

This dragon team fight resulted in a heavy price for SKT, who were traded 1 for 4. Snake only lost Ivern, while SKT only had Zed survive.

Snake team quickly killed the dragon, and then immediately turned around and rushed Baron.

With the Baron buff, SKT's 4-1 split push strategy naturally lost its effectiveness.

Relying on their absolute advantage in team fights and the Baron buff, Snake Esports pushed down SKT's mid and top lane inhibitors, completely reversing the gold difference and taking a 3,000-gold lead.

It appears to be leading by 3,000, but in reality, it is already leading by 11,000.

At this stage of the match, SKT's lineup had virtually no chance of winning.

Despite being on the verge of winning the first game, Wang Ke did not feel too relaxed.

In his mind, this game was a sure win thanks to his superior draft and tactics.

From the very beginning of the rehearsals between the two teams, Wang Ke always started with a score of 1-0.

Snake's Ardent Censer lineup practically shut down SKT players' room for maneuver, using absolute tactical advantage and stacked numerical superiority to kill the game.

However, it's unlikely that SKT will stubbornly continue to unleash monsters like Kalista.

In other words, the match after this B05 will be the time when the two teams will truly show their strength and start fighting tooth and nail!

Wang Ke had considered saving this ultimate move for the final game, but he wasn't even sure if Snake Esports could tie the series 2-2 with SKT.

If you wait until you're down 0-2 to pull out the card and win a game, you'll still face two match points. It's better to pull it out in the first game and win to boost morale.

Wang Ke felt a pang of envy when he thought about the protagonists in novels who had systems and could always kick Dafei to death like he was a stray dog ​​on the street.

For an ordinary person like him without a system, facing the SKT dynasty at its peak, the pressure is immense!

Wang Ke pinged the small dragon pit.

The Ancient Dragon will spawn in one minute.

This will be the last team fight between the two sides.

Wang Ke had thought it would just be a formality, but SKT's resilience surprised him.

Snake almost lost this Elder Dragon fight.

Peanut's Lee Sin was uncharacteristic in this team fight. He didn't enter the fray immediately, but waited until the team fight started before finding an opportunity from the side and using his R-flash to kick Kalista!

Kalista isn't afraid of Zed and Kled charging in, but she's afraid of being kicked out by Lee Sin and then instantly killed by her teammates' damage combo.

Fortunately, SKT also paid a heavy price in this team fight. Although they managed to kill Kalista, three SKT members were also killed, and ultimately neither side had the ability to fight the Elder Dragon.

However, Peanut's play of kicking Kalista out of the crowd was clearly the only optimal solution. He only managed to pull off this play once in thirty-five minutes, and Snake Esports obviously won't give him another thirty-five minutes.

When the two teams of heroes respawned, they once again engaged in a team fight in front of the Dragon Pit.

Peanut entered the fray again, wanting to be that hero again, but this time he was interrupted by Janna's charged wind before he even got close to Kalista, and was instantly killed.

One thought can make you a hero, another a coward.

Peanut, who had just been a hero for a few seconds, became the scapegoat for the team's defeat because of this one-shot loss.

Facing a Kalista who already possessed six items and two Ardent Censers, SKT suffered a crushing defeat, utterly unable to put up any resistance.

Snake won a team fight where they achieved a 3-for-0 exchange, then secured the Elder Dragon and immediately grouped up in the mid lane, heading straight for SKT's inhibitor turrets!

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan was extremely excited!

"Snake, their team fights are absolutely unbeatable! SKT has tried everything, but they just can't kill Kalista! Faker has brought out his once-proud assassin king, Zed, but this assassin who dominated the mid lane in S3 is simply not enough damage these days! And now, Snake's five players are grouped up, trying to end the game in one fell swoop!"

"Lee Sang-hyeok stood before the turret, trying one last time! But it was no use! Snake, they're about to take the first game of the finals!!"

SKT's bastion collapsed with a roar.

Faced with Kalista's frantic attacks on the base, Lee Sang-hyeok was powerless.

Through the headphones, Huni was constantly complaining.

"Ugh, that opposing team's lineup is absolutely disgusting!"

From the commentary booth came Wang Duoduo's loud shouts!

"Snake, with their defensive counter-attacking Ardent Censer composition and the macro-management that LCK is most proud of, defeated SKT and won the first game!"

"Truly—an iron curtain hangs over the river, locking away a thousand sails; powerful weapons are drawn, and the enemy bows in submission!"

Rita: "Yes!"

The chat room was in an uproar.

I'm awesome!

[Snake Team is awesome!]

【66666! 】

[I feel like there's real hope, guys!]

[Hopefully, they'll stick to their guns and keep letting Kalista through.]

[I can't believe we actually won.]

Go Snake Team!

Meanwhile, in the Korean live stream, Jeon Yong-jun and Kim Jae-young were sighing, one after the other.

"Wow~ This loss is so devastating, it feels like we have absolutely no chance in team fights!"

"Wow~ This really seems to be a team composition issue. I feel like we absolutely have to ban the Ardent Censer build in the next game!"

"Although it's 1-0 now, there's no need to panic too much. This game really shows that there's a big gap in skill between the two teams. Whether it's the top lane, the bottom lane, or even the jungle, SKT's players are able to steadily suppress their opponents. Of course, in the mid lane, it's all about the champion selection. If Malzahar is picked, there's really no point in even talking about laning."

Kim Jae-young nodded and said, "In short, we still need to solve the Ardent Censer lineup problem. If we can ban Kalista and Janna in the next game, things should be much better! Snake won this game by unleashing their big moves right from the start, which is actually good news for us."

At this time, SKT was at its peak and held an extremely high position in South Korea.

Even after losing the first game, South Korean netizens remain very optimistic about the final outcome of the match.

At this moment, Wang Ke, who had just finished a game and returned to the rest room, found himself in big trouble.
