She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

Graves landed a shot on Sejuani, whose passive was broken by Maokai's stun, and Sejuani's health instantly dropped by nearly two-fifths...

"What kind of damage is this?!"

Dingzhou was startled and hurriedly unleashed his ultimate move to try and escape, but he was shot again. Before he could even celebrate after being knocked over the wall, the ultimate bomb that followed him exploded, leaving him with no health left.

You have been killed!

Gone…

When Dingzhou witnessed his teammates being completely surrounded and killed by Yi O Yi Qi Si V Jiu Si Jiu, and even after using all his skills, he still couldn't kill a single one, he realized that the game was over.

……

With the blue team's main crystal shattered, Step by Step took the lead and secured match point in this BO3 series.

【ox!

[This is really amazing. I've found a whole new way to use Alistar. It looks like it's quite effective against squishy champions who have a slow wave clear.]

Generally speaking, I feel he's not as strong as Su Mu's mid-lane AP Twitch. That's what you call power; his burst damage is unreasonable.

[Stop messing around, Mu Ge is a top 100 ranked player in the international server with a thousand points. Although she hasn't been playing on her main account recently and has dropped to 39th place, she still holds her own against the top ten. It's too much to compare her to a college student!]

The top 100 players on the international server are all professional-level. Mu Ge will most likely become a professional player in the future. He and this Xiao Mu are not the same kind of people.

[I have to say, this Xiao Mu is pretty good. There's even a Master or Grandmaster in the international server. Are all the Mu-generation players this skilled? Shark has Brother Mu and Ling Mu, and now Guangda has Xiao Mu...]

It's still early. We can talk about the "Mu" generation after we make it to the top four in the offline competition.

[Just a coincidence. My name also contains the character "沐" (Mu), and I'm still in Gold after 300 games on the international server. What do you mean by that?]

That's all.

……

Inside the competition room, during a brief post-match debriefing, Ye Ziyue and the others looked at each other and finally came to a conclusion.

Su Mu is simply outrageous; his appearance is far too deceptive.

The hero pool is full of strange and unusual things. The recordings of the qualifiers before the top 16 had already been uploaded to the website, so they hadn't been unaware of them.

But at that time, apart from the mid-lane Pyke in that BO3 match, all the heroes Su Mu used were normal.

They figured out a way to counter Pyke, so they didn't ban him. Then Su Mu stopped picking him, and not only did he play Alistar mid, but he also flexed his picks with Karma during the draft phase...

"My head hurts so much! What should I do with this bullhead? Should I target him in the second round or not?" Wang Junxin scratched his head frantically.

"Ziyue, what do you think?" Dingzhou turned his gaze to Ye Ziyue.

"What are you looking at me like that, you piece of trash?" Ye Ziyue snapped, annoyed. "That wretched trash sister cheated! I thought she was playing Karma mid, but who knew it was some damn Alistar..."

Qiyana was essentially a trap set up; the enemy had already planned how to defeat her.

If she had known earlier, she would never have...

Ugh, I got tricked by that little fish sister again!

"My gaze is perfectly normal." Being stared at like that, Ding Zhou felt completely comfortable, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Ziyue's feet.

How wonderful it would be to wear white stockings and stomp on his face!

Ugh... I can't think about this anymore. I've completely fallen into my opponent's rhythm and can't get out of it. I need to think about how to change things up for the second game.

"Su Mu's hero pool is so weird. I wish I knew her international server ID," Liu Xuan said with a slight headache.

"Hmph, don't think too much about it. We'll choose the red side for the second round." Ye Ziyue clenched her small fist.

……

The match point game started quickly. Ye Ziyue didn't expect Su Mu to give her another big surprise. When she saw the strange hero she was facing on the connection screen, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.

Isn't this supposed to be a jungler? Why is he in the mid lane?!

80. Pioneering

The lineups for the second game are as follows.

Blue team's "Step by Step to Victory" lineup: Top lane Ornn, Jungle Amumu, Mid lane Nunu, Bot lane Sivir, Support Karma.

Red team's lineup: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Diana, Mid lane Jayce, Bot lane Ashe, Support Leona.

Ye Ziyue thought Amumu was a support, Karma was a mid laner, and Nunu was a jungler, but this is what happened?

That slut sister is so annoying, she has so many tricks up her sleeve!

I've been playing League of Legends since its open beta, and I've played no less than 3,000 games as a mid laner. I've never seen Nunu & Willump in the mid lane.

"Snowman is playing online... Can W hit anyone?" Dingzhou's lips twitched.

"Whoever gets hit is a noob!" Ye Ziyue said angrily.

The Minotaur sister played alright last game, look how confident she is, she must have gotten cocky after winning a game, and just randomly picked a jungler to go mid lane.

I genuinely look down on her!

“Well… I think it’s best to be careful. When Su Mu played strange heroes in the mid lane, everyone initially thought she was just messing around, but in reality, she was very effective every time. I think there must be something fishy going on,” Ning Xinxin said.

"It's open! Let's start with Lingling, Lin Qijiu, and Wu Ba. Forget about any tricks or anything. The enemy's level 1 combat power is not as good as ours. Let's invade!" Dingzhou rubbed his hands together, eager to fight.

The others nodded in agreement, bought their starting gear, and headed towards the lower jungle area.

However, no one expected that they would be taught a harsh lesson by the snowman right from the start.

After communicating with his teammates, Su Mu walked to the entrance of the jungle and, taking advantage of the movement speed buff from the starting fountain guardian before it disappeared, activated W to push a snowball towards the jungle and accelerate with nitro.

The enormous snowball grew rapidly as it rolled, its speed increasing as it went.

As soon as we entered the river, we spotted Ashe, Jayce, and Leona peeking out from the bushes at the river entrance in the jungle.

When they saw the snowman pushing a ball, followed by a cart full of bread people, coming in aggressively, everyone was stunned.

Ashe and Jayce instinctively used their poke abilities, but only realized they needed to dodge when they saw that the Yeti's speed was not affected at all.

"Damn it, run!"

Wang Junxin shouted, but it was too late. The three of them hurriedly squeezed into the narrow entrance to the wilderness area, but due to the collision, they were stuck together for about a second.

It was in that instant that all three of them were sent flying by the snowball.

The maximum damage of Yeti's W at level 1 is 180 + 1.5 times the AP coefficient.

Su Mu started with Doran's Ring and Dark Harvest rune. With 33 ability power, his snowball, rolled to its maximum, dealt between 165 and 182 damage to three people with varying magic resistance!

Each hero starts with only around 600 health, so taking this hit is incredibly painful.

Karma followed up with RQ, Sivir with Q, and Amumu even used his Q skill to stun someone, instantly taking them down.

Ashe fell first, followed by Jayce, whose health was also severely depleted after being hit by various AOE attacks, and Leona, who hurriedly used her dodge to get over the wall.

Amumu's Q has two parts. Bai Wei accurately predicted and hit the second person. Zhang Xiaoyu had a flash of inspiration, flashed over the wall and started breathing fire. The damage was just enough to kill Jayce. Then she slapped Leona on the head, knocking out the Fragile effect and taking the kill.

Double kill!

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned to receive a huge sum of 600 yuan from two kills at the start of the game.

Is this the kind of treatment a nobody like her deserves?

"Awesome!" Zhao Lisi laughed out loud. "Xiao Mu's mid-lane Snowman is really amazing!"

They had only seen Su Mu play this hero once in a five-player ranked match on the Chinese server, but that didn't diminish their trust in him at all.

Many techniques may seem insignificant when you hear about them, but you only truly understand their power when you see a pro player actually using them.

This early advantage gained by exploiting the difference in hero information control in the jungle is just the first step.

Holy crap! Holy crap! You can play like this?

[Qingxin probably hasn't encountered a jungle Yeti before. Yeti can be played like this at level 1. I thought they would be on guard, but I ended up suffering a big loss.]

It's normal that I haven't encountered this hero before; this hero is really unpopular.

[The game is in turmoil. How can we play when we're a thousand dollars behind at the start? Let's just leave. It seems that the Guangda team is winning step by step.]

Ornn went home with two cloth armor pieces, is he going to go straight for Warden's Armor? If I were Renekton, I'd just wear Mask of Pain.

2333…

Ye Ziyue had no idea that the comments in the live stream were already predicting the downfall of their team. Right now, she looked very grumpy, her whole face was black.

With three people dead at the start, even if her jungle wasn't invaded, she couldn't suppress Su Mu with her range after losing Flash and dying. Otherwise, she had no doubt that Bai Wei's Amumu would take good care of her.

The same applies to the bot lane. Ashe and Leona could have a slight advantage in the early game due to their long range, but if the support doesn't have Flash and doesn't time their engage well, they're guaranteed to die.

Everyone has to keep their distance!

The crocodile doesn't need to shrink, but Ornn gets two kills in a level 1 team fight. How can he pressure the enemy?

Ning Xinxin herself was very clear about just how good at hiding was this seemingly invincible guy in front of her...

She won't face any pressure in lane, because they're all tanky, easy-to-play players who can easily gain a CS advantage. But killing her, pushing the lane, and taking tower plates is very, very difficult.

Diana is a farming-oriented champion who needs to reach level 6 quickly in the early game, and without her ultimate, she's not good at synergizing with her lane opponent.

Tough situation.

"Qingxin was suppressed in the draft and ban phase again, and her early game rhythm was also suppressed. She's having a really tough time right now."

The commentator clearly sees the predicaments of both sides; comparatively, this steady, step-by-step victory is nothing short of a dream start.

"Let's see how things develop; it's actually a bit early to say anything now."

"..."

The camera cuts to the middle lane, where countless viewers see the Yeti pushing a snowball. The snowball explodes, instantly killing three backline minions, and also reducing the health of the frontline melee minions by half. (Shan)

Uh, Jayce still can't get lane priority.

Su Mu killed three low-health melee minions, walked into the upper river in front of Jayce, placed a ward in the enemy's F6 bush in the jungle, and then pushed a snowball back to lane.

Following the river, Su Mu returned to the mid lane just as the second wave of minions spawned. The giant snowball, with its skillful trajectory, chipped away at about a third of the health of all the melee minions before exploding in front of the three ranged minions.

With a single, simple skill, three ranged minions were instantly wiped out once again.

Seeing such an insane pushing speed, not only the viewers in the live stream, but even the commentators were stunned.

The "Generous Gift Crab" can instantly kill ranged minions with a single level 1 skill?

Ye Ziyue vaguely sensed something was wrong. Although Su Mu's two snowballs weren't aimed at her, she could already imagine who would take control of the lane.

The mid lane is a position that can radiate to the top, bottom, and jungle areas. Once the Yeti pushes the lane, wouldn't he be able to roam around and no one can control him?

Thinking about the scenario of Ye Ziyue and Amumu ganking the top and bottom lanes together, Ye Ziyue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Her seemingly perfect pick of Jessie seems to have backfired spectacularly...

81. Several leopard gallbladders were transplanted.

Having reached the top 100 in the international server and been contacted by many esports clubs, Ye Ziyue is indeed a skilled player. Considering the possibility of Snowman causing all sorts of trouble, she quickly reminded her teammates not to push too hard.

Especially on the road.

After clearing the second wave of lines, Ye Ziyue discovered that the snowman had disappeared in the lower riverbed and immediately activated the warning signal.

"Little...uh..."

Just as I was about to warn my teammates to be careful, I saw a guy pushing a snowball emerge from the bushes.

Ye Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect that this time the snowman would not charge at the ranged units, but instead crush the melee units and attack her.

Positioning, positioning, didn't manage to twist it... The snowball exploded with a bang, displaying a number of 172.

This was a huge loss, as we were burned through so much.

Heroes without mobility skills or long-range interrupt abilities don't find it easy to dodge the snowball-pushing snowman, as the snowball is quite large.

Ye Ziyue could only use the medicine to keep her health at a healthy level. She knew that if the Yeti pushed another ball over, or Amumu flashed and used his Q, she would die if she was controlled due to low health.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened before level 3.

The trades between the top and bottom lanes were well-controlled, with minimal conflict, and it's unlikely that any kills will occur in the short term.

Both junglers were in the top half of the map. After clearing all the jungle monsters, Bai Wei did not choose to counter-gank or gank, but instead returned to the bottom half of the map and headed towards the river, preparing to control the first spawned river crab.

Su Mu reached level 3, and Jayce switched to hammer form to Q the minions in an attempt to gain lane control, preparing to cover the jungler's attempt to take the river crab.

uh-huh?

That's pretty bold of you.
