LOL: I told you to eat something, not to cook!

The commentary booth.

Miller and Longhair, dressed in formal attire, stood solemnly on the commentary platform.

Both are currently top streamers in the LPL.

High-profile matches are usually commentated by two popular anchors.

The match between OMG and IM generated a great deal of discussion online.

Miller began by saying, "Hello everyone, welcome to the OMG vs. IM match. I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I am long-haired."

After a brief introduction, the two began their explanations.

At this moment, before the players from both teams had officially entered the arena, Miller and Longhair naturally began their pre-match analysis.

Miller: "Today's match is crucial for both sides. If OMG wins against IM, they will end their losing streak and also break IM's winning streak."

Changmao: "Judging from OMG's strength on paper, OMG is no worse than IM. The fact that they have suffered two consecutive losses may mean that OMG's teamwork is not yet sufficient."

Miller: "That's right, OMG's players are all quite skilled, today's match is sure to be exciting... Viewers, please wait a moment!"

Halfway through their conversation, Miller and Longhair seemed to have heard something.

Then, a hint of surprise flashed in Miller's eyes as he explained, "The director just sent a message..."

With perfect coordination, Changmao continued, "OMG has made a last-minute personnel change; their starting support player, Live, has been replaced by Chushen."

"As far as I know, rumors are unreliable, but this substitute player is an excellent cook."

When Long Hair explained the reason to the audience, the audience erupted in uproar.

Chushen?

The audience had no recollection of this substitute support player. OMG was about to suffer a three-game losing streak, so why replace him with this one person?

And, she's an excellent cook?

Isn't that a chef? What does that have to do with the competition?

Miller and Longhair exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

They all found the news unbelievable.

The League of Legends community is only so big; others may not know the situation, but those in the community know it very well.

OMG's substitute support player, Chushen, is called a substitute, but his real role is to cook.

Moreover, according to their understanding, Chushen has not played any practice matches until now.

This player can no longer be considered a professional player.

Actively changing your support role is not much different from admitting defeat.

If they were to change players now, they couldn't think of any other possibility besides blaming the losing streak.

Thinking of this, Miller and Longhair both sighed inwardly.

Some teammates are clearly trying to make others take the blame, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

It's just a pity for player Chushchen!

Of course, despite the感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including admiration or regret), the two are, after all, official commentators for the LPL (League of Legends Pro League).

Even if I dislike OMG's attempt to shift blame, I can only try to smooth things over for the OMG team.

Miller: "As the saying goes, risk is always a good thing. Nobody can say for sure. Is OMG's substitute support player their secret weapon?"

Longhair: "That's right, IM isn't familiar with this support player, so it might be difficult to counter him."

Almost instantly, the two of them came up with an excuse for OMG's actions.

However, the viewers in the live stream were not fools.

"What a joke! You really think you're the only ones who know inside information? OMG's substitute support is just the chef who cooks for the club."

"Chu Shen? I think he's a culinary god! I'm already looking forward to his amazing, 'food-eating' gameplay!"

"OMG, that's really a clever move. Knowing they were going to lose three straight, they found a scapegoat."

The live chat was filled with angry comments, all expressing dissatisfaction with OMG's actions.

No one believed that OMG could win the game after replacing their support player with Chushchen; some viewers even left the live stream.

At the same time, the scene switched to the players from both teams entering the arena, and the scene on the field also changed to the ban/pick phase.

Miller and Changmao, who were in the commentary booth, didn't want to dwell on OMG's personnel changes any longer, so they quickly spoke up.

"OK, both teams' players have now entered the arena. OMG is on the blue side, and IM is on the red side. Let's take a look at the draft picks for both sides."

Miller had barely finished speaking when the business proposal (BP) process officially began for both sides.

OMG's first three bans: Rek'Sai, Camille, and Elise.

IM's top three bans: Malzahar, Rengar, and LeBlanc.

Both sides banned fairly standard heroes, mostly popular picks in the current meta.

Changmao: "This game will really test the players' individual skills. I wonder how good OMG's new player is?"

"That's right!" Miller said, "OMG first picked Lee Sin, and IM countered with Caitlyn and Thresh. They're going to focus on the bot lane."

"Chushen is under a lot of pressure. He encountered a strong opponent in the first game, which will really test his ability."

"Indeed, OMG will probably pick a bot lane champion, Jhin... no problem, Sima Laozei plays this champion very well." Changmao analyzed the screen, then gave his guess: "I feel like the support will pick an equally strong champion, I think it will be Lulu."

However, Lulu was selected first in the champion selection screen, and OMG hesitated for a long time before finally selecting Zyra.

"OMG doesn't seem to have picked a support, but instead chose Zyra for mid lane? Could this be a secret weapon?" Miller commented. "OMG seems to have carefully considered their third pick."

Long Hair: "You can see from the players' videos that these team members seem to be communicating about something."

OMG player bench.

Mingzhe selected Lulu according to the original plan, and his gaze had already fallen on Master Chu.

He had long since given up hope of winning or losing this game, so naturally he didn't want to waste his time on choosing a support player.

It's obvious that Mingzhe wants Chu Shi to go play around with Lulu, just to hang out for a bit.

"Don't let Lulu see!"

Master Chu immediately shook his head and refused.

It's not that he doesn't know how to play Lulu, but rather that his proficiency with Lulu is low.

Furthermore, given that the opposing team consisted of a female police officer and a Thresh, he had better options in mind.

Mingzhe was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Shi's rejection.

He's the coach; the players shouldn't object to whatever he tells them to choose.

But Chu Shi's situation was different.

He felt somewhat guilty about being the scapegoat.

Since it was a losing proposition anyway, and it was Chu Shi's last chance to go on stage, he might as well grant Chu Shi's wish.

If they fail, they can better shift the blame onto Master Chu.

"What kind of support do you want?" Mingzhe asked helplessly.

There are quite a few other support options, but none are as suitable as Lulu.

Chu Shi had already made his choice, and a hero had flashed through his mind.

"Zyra!"

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Zyra as support?

Since the start of the Spring Split, there have been instances of Jhin and Zyra being paired together, but without exception, all of these pairings have ended in failure.

After several attempts, some clubs have given up on this option.

Besides, even if this combination is really good, it depends on the opponent's lineup, right?

With a long-range, strong team composition featuring Caitlyn and Thresh, picking an unconventional, squishy support is practically suicide.
