Chapter 12: Four veterans let one rookie take the center position?
Chapter 12: Four veterans let one rookie take the center position?
Viewers and fans almost all placed their hopes on Lin Jin.
A fully developed Weapon Master can take on five opponents in the late game.
However, I couldn't resist the fact that some people were giving them gifts.
Jack died twice more in the next five minutes.
With a score of 0-3, Draven has essentially lost the competition.
Gao Tianliang made a crucial play, but a miscommunication with his left hand effectively sealed the fate of Top Esports in this game.
The commentator said helplessly, "Now we can only wait and see how Huozi's weapon mastery develops in the later stages."
"Yes, we can only rely on Brother Huozi now."
At 26 minutes into the game, DRX was in a team fight with the dragon in hand.
Lin Jin's Weapon Master flanked and flashed to stun four opponents, initiating a perfect team fight!
The audience and commentators were all excited:
"Nice! Huozi-ge! Let's start!"
"You can kill them, you can kill them, just protect the Weapon Master!"
"First he killed Braum, then Graves, and he dodged Sylas's E. Great positioning!"
"Wow! Huozi is totally showing off his skills!"
"Where's the output? Get the output up to par!"
Even the commentator himself was getting anxious.
On Top Esports' side, the output of their two carries is simply too low.
Draven and Tsar are not yet fully developed.
Lin Jin initiated a good team fight, and he dealt most of the damage himself.
After DRX reacted, Kingen's Gnar didn't rush. He lingered on the perimeter, waiting for the right moment to unleash a Flash + Ultimate combo.
Jack's hot dance was filmed again, and Draven died once more.
Topsports suffered heavy losses!
The commentator exclaimed in dismay, "Oh no! Jack's hot dance got wiped out in a second!"
"Knight! Watch his position!"
"The Tsar's push... oh dear, he only pushed one person! And he pushed Silas right in the face!"
"Sylas uses his Titan's Ultimate on Fireboy!"
"Brother Huo is having a tough time."
Lin Jin, the weapon master, had done his best, using exceptional skill to take down two opponents.
But my teammates are in the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association), there's really nothing I can do.
At 29 minutes into the game, Top Esports typed "GG" and lost the match.
When they shook hands, Gao Tianliang's expression darkened slightly.
When he saw Lin Jin, he managed a weak smile: "You played well."
Lin Jin shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
On his way back to the rest room, Lin Jin heard the LPL commentators cheering them on from the live broadcast booth.
"It's okay, Top Esports still has a chance to adjust."
"It's a real shame we didn't win this game, but we can still see the team's strengths."
"Yes, at least Huozi really gave it his all in this match. He was in great form, which is good news."
"But the other senior members of Top Esports need to step up."
"We can't always rely on a young upstart like C."
Another commentator added, "We should give a round of applause to DRX; they really played exceptionally well."
"Especially Zeka's Sylas, I believe that's enough to warrant our attention."
After the match ended, the forum was flooded with posts.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"That's Top Esports for you. He never disappoints when it comes to being disappointing."
"Sigh, there's really nothing I can do. Jack's performance is just too bad. Even I, as a fan, can't stand it anymore."
Why didn't you mention that Zuo Shou was invisible the whole time? At least Jack was constantly looking for opportunities.
"That's hilarious! He found the opportunities? Didn't Brother Huo find them one by one by going around them?"
"Huozi did play well, but what's the use? To be honest, if we had Ornn, Sion, and Maokai in front, it would have been easier for us to win."
"Watching the game consumes a lot of electricity. Without Huozi's weapon mastery, they would have been eliminated in fifteen minutes."
"Four veteran players relying on a rookie center? Ha, that's Top Esports for you."
After losing the game, there was a frenzy of criticism on various forums.
Hupu gave the Top Esports players very low ratings.
Lin Jin scored 8.5 points.
It's higher than the opposing top laner's 7.8 points.
Jack Spicy Dance received the lowest score of 2.5.
Various derogatory nicknames and memes followed.
This is quite normal. As the star player with the most popularity in the team, he naturally has to bear the brunt of the consequences of losing the game.
Inside the lounge.
The white crescent moon looked unwell.
I don't know if it's because the team lost, or because they saw Lin Jin's excellent performance.
He said with a sullen face, "I witnessed an ugly match."
This is not your true level.
"Now you all need to think this through carefully. We'll go back to the training room and start our debriefing."
"Explain each problem clearly, one by one."
The white crescent moon clearly carried some personal emotion, which made Guo Hao frown.
After he finished speaking, Guo Hao also stood up and said:
"Yes, everyone, there's no need to rush."
"We lost this game, but we'll continue to analyze it and make improvements for the next one."
"Don't feel guilty, just play well."
"If we perform normally, there will be absolutely no problem."
Lin Jin and his teammates remained silent. Jack La Wu, as the captain, had performed the worst in the last match, so he didn't say much and simply offered a self-criticism.
"It was my fault. I didn't play well and disrupted everyone's rhythm."
Jackie ran a hand through her hair and exhaled, "I'll get back into the swing of things."
Guo Hao nodded: "Yes, that's the attitude I want."
"Alright, who's going to do the loser's interview later?"
Jack, the hot dancer, volunteered: "I'll go."
Guo Hao patted him on the shoulder and looked around: "Alright, everyone has worked hard, take a rest."
White Crescent went to discuss the post-match analysis with the coaching staff.
Lin Jin held a bottle of beverage and also took out his phone to browse the forum.
Seeing that his public opinion was pretty good, with basically no one criticizing him, he was in a good mood.
After the match, the system did not provide any recovery points.
Looking at the current 35% rescue value, Lin Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
After this loss, Top Esports' record is now 1-1, with one win and one loss.
Meat Pigeon has achieved two consecutive victories, 2-0, and their match tomorrow is Top Esports.
Tomorrow can be considered the most crucial battle for Top Esports.
If they lose, it will become 1-2, and they'll already be out of the group stage.
It's really very dangerous.
But given Top Esports' current form, do they still have a chance against Rookie, who has already defeated DRX?
Nobody knew that many people online were mocking them.
"Hehe, Jack's hot dance is going to break all the boundaries this year."
"The streamer has participated in three world championships, reaching at least the semi-finals."
"I think Top Esports is in big trouble this year; they'll have a hard time even making it to the quarterfinals."
"I told you so. With a Korean team and the strongest European and American team, it's going to be tough to beat them. I don't know where Top Esports' confidence comes from."
"Except for Huozi, everyone on this team is really terrible."
"Fire hasn't reached the rookie wall yet. I think we should bring on Big Yellow and have him be the brother's dog!"
