[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

These gaming headsets are of superior quality and can isolate you from all external noise as soon as you put them on.

With only the game sound effects in her ears, Li Zhi instantly became completely absorbed.

The feeling of my heart racing in my chest changed the moment I put on the earphones.

The adrenaline surge brought a rush of pleasure and an urge to win that burned like fire up from the base of my spine.

This long-lost feeling made Kuriyuki extremely excited.

The training matches are best-of-three (BO3).

They were facing another youth training team from the club, so there was no coach or coaching staff, and they were left to their own devices.

Apart from Li Zhi, the remaining four trainees clearly have their own cliques.

The jungler's words carried the most weight. He immediately made arrangements for the top laner and support, instructing them to lock down the tanks that could absorb damage.

In the current version, marksmen are not very prominent, so he picked a squishy, ​​high-damage jungler for himself, and then ordered Li Zhi:

"Listen to me, you play Cassius, help me increase my jungle clearing speed, and I'll dominate."

Cassius, a popular utility mage in Crossfire.

The core mechanism is to share the economy with a teammate; one share of the economy is shared by two people, resulting in no loss.

The most beloved mid-lane champion among all assassin junglers in the current version, without exception.

As soon as he finished speaking, the marksman locked onto a hero who needed to farm gold to develop:

"Perfect timing, after you finish clearing the jungle with Cassius, come hang out on the side lane with me."

The two of them, one in front and one behind, arranged everything for Li Zhi very clearly.

Li Zhi remained silent, glancing at the bans on the opposite side, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Of the four ban slots, not a single mid-lane hero was banned.

He silently added one to their score in his mind, and then decisively locked in Jin Ge.

The headphones instantly erupted in chaos.

"Are you crazy? Why aren't you following orders?"

"What's the point of picking a squishy mage? You won't get any gold to feed them. If you can even get 10% of the damage output, I'm your son."

Li Zhi lazily stretched out his finger and tapped his archer's avatar on the screen.

"OK."

His voice wasn't loud, and it even carried a hint of nonchalant laughter.

"Your father is waiting for you to come and acknowledge your family."

At the start of the game, Ember Spirit on the screen heads to the lane with a long sword.

The opposing mid laner picked Thorn, also a female mage assassin, but she was very strong in the early game.

Right now, he's standing casually outside the turret clearing minions, seemingly convinced that Li Zhi will choose to avoid battle, peacefully clear the lane, and survive until the mid-game before making any further plans.

This is basic common sense when laning against heroes with high early-game strength.

But Kurichi has never been a person who uses common sense.

Even professional players would fall to his Echoes, let alone a youth team player?

With a roll, Jin Ge charged forward, wielding his twin swords, and used the minion wave to dash towards Thorne's face.

The second skill hit precisely, dealing full damage and instantly evaporating half of the target's health.

Before the opponent could react, Ember Spirit had already used his passive skill to roll away unscathed, his movements fluid and graceful.

Thorne was enraged.

He didn't even clear the minion wave, activated all his skills, and tried to take advantage of his early-game hero strength to turn the tide.

The rain of swords poured down, weaving a dense, impenetrable net across the screen.

But Jhin's mobility is the most extreme among all mid-lane heroes.

Li Zhi's fingers flew across the keyboard, the operation almost becoming a blur.

Jin Ge's figure weaved back and forth through the rain of swords, each step landing precisely in the gaps between the swords, minimizing the damage he took.

At the same time, two basic attacks easily cleared the minion wave.

I successfully leveled up to level two and learned the first skill, area damage.

Thorne wanted to retreat at this point, but it was too late.

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang out, crisp and clean.

"First blood!"

A mechanical female voice echoed through the canyon, reverberating clearly throughout the venue.

Less than two minutes into the game, the first kill occurred.

With Thorne's corpse on his feet, Embers swung his longsword and leisurely began farming the next wave of minions.

The player in the top lane was playing a massive centaur, diligently farming minions while marveling at its appearance:

"Nice! I feel like I can hear the cheers from the audience even through my headphones."

The jungler remained silent, but the marksman persisted, "Coincidence, right? I've never seen a Jhin player start with his second skill. It's a crooked method."

Li Zhi chuckled, "If you haven't seen this before, then observe this game carefully. Calling him 'Dad' a couple of times will be your tuition fee."

The marksman was furious, but since it was a match, he had to suppress his emotions and focus on the lane.

With the mid-lane advantage secured, Ember Spirit cleared the second wave of minions first and then hid in the bushes.

Li Zhi's fingers didn't stop, controlling Jin Ge to silently sneak into the enemy jungle.

The first skill's area-of-effect damage landed precisely, allowing the enemy jungler to finish off the small jungle monster at the perfect moment.

He was ruthless, like a bandit, leaving nothing but desolation in his wake.

What's this? A jungle monster from the other side? I'll have a bite.

What's this? My teammate's minion wave? I'll have a bite.

What's this? A juicy buff? I'll have a bite.

By the time Li Zhi had circled half the map and leisurely returned to her lane, Jin Ge had already reached level four and had fully charged her ultimate.

As soon as the enemy mage showed his face, Ember Spirit darted out of the bushes and unleashed a smooth combo, with blades flashing in unison.

Thorne didn't even have time to use Flash before the screen went black.

The gold coins from each kill have arrived in my account, just enough to buy a high-end piece of equipment.

At this point, Ember's period of dominance has begun.
