A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 31

This is almost a crushing defeat for RS.

The score was predictably tied at 1:1 by VIT, and the next game began. The rules of the League regular season do not limit the use of repeated heroes, which has caused some teams to struggle with single-C compositions. The C position hero, who is skilled in certain heroes, may be banned repeatedly, so professional League players usually have a deep hero pool.

In the next game, RS showed obvious hesitation. In the first game, they were completely shut down by VIT’s BP against Xiao Yin. They did not expect that the one who would have the greatest impact on the team would be Rong Yi.

In the second game, Rong Yi was also banned, but Xiao Yin had the highest KDA on the team. This was a situation that had never been seen in the entire domestic League, and even the world League: how can a team without a specific composition system counter this?

In the third game, RS banned Li, Yan, and Xiao Yue.

“They panicked. They’re a bit panicked,” even the commentators who had the best relationship with RS couldn’t find any way to smooth things over.

“They’re a bit panicked, it seems like they’re too afraid of Yin and Easy, and the other side’s little assistant Hui Mao. They directly banned all three, but by limiting these three, it’s highly likely that none of them can be stopped.”

On the special camera on the court, visible unease and anxiety appeared on the face of every RS teenager, but they could only suppress it.

Only the coach Zhou Shanyang, who was with the team, obviously didn’t know what had happened. RS had faced strong teams before, and they had prepared for the difficult battles against VIT, but he didn’t understand why these teenagers’ mentality had collapsed so quickly.

They were used to Easy’s presence, used to him as the team’s commander, and they were accustomed to him worrying about everything and taking care of everyone. Everyone had become accustomed to him being everyone’s helper and aftermath person.

Now, they all realized that the reason why Rong Yi’s knife had never been felt as cold and sharp was only because he was on their side before. Now that he’s on the enemy’s side, it naturally hurts even more deeply.

Rong Yi saw that Leave was banned and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she casually selected a hook-type hero called Silver Hook, who was a pull-type support mid-laner with very low damage but strong control abilities. Every five seconds, he could shoot a Silver Hook harpoon that could hit enemies up to 200 meters away, dragging them backwards and causing continuous debuff effects.

Due to his long and stiff animation time, as well as his low damage output, Silver Hook was rarely used as a mid-laner in professional matches and was usually played as a support.

However, this was like fish in water for Hui Mao – since the other team had banned Little Key, he naturally could pick up his most practiced hero, the Earth Mother.

VIT’s mistake in this pick/ban phase was enough to show how flustered they had become.

Because the league’s hero selection mechanism allows for a variety of choices and there is no limit to the number of times a hero can be used in regular season matches, the situations on the field have become incredibly diverse and captivating enough to attract viewers’ attention.

When Rong Yi selected Silver Hook, even the people outside the arena laughed.

“Rewarding herself with a happy Silver Hook, huh!”

“It’s so funny that VIT’s mid-laner, I can’t wait to see what tricks he’ll pull off. He was already tortured in the last game, isn’t choosing Silver Hook even more torturous?”

“Easy is really strong, he and Yin’s double-C actually managed to outperform Yin alone.”

In this historically intense regular season match, the #Easy# tag naturally surged to the top and occupied the top of the natural search rankings on various  e-sports platforms.

There were no so-called highlights or personal kill reels; he played to show off, and it was evident from his every movement and skill release.

While others played clunky machinery, he played with grace; while others used Molo Molo for dull support, he was relaxed and carefree, wandering around to harass and disrupt small rhythms, or shaving off a dangerous small wave of damage.

Especially his various positioning and skill aiming in extreme situations, he reacts extremely quickly and handles everything with ease, almost like a crushing blow.

Compared to his gameplay and positioning, his personal style is more memorable.

Whether he plays well or not, it is always the audience’s first impression and biggest concern.

The audience and popularity attracted by Rong Yi continue to increase, and passersby quickly forget about Xiao Yun’s previous title of “League’s Number One Support”, and are now confused due to Rong Yi’s old fans educating them.

“The League’s Number One Support? Is it the one who defended the base against four enemies a few days ago?”

“No!”

“He was the world’s number one support five years ago, and has held the record for being number one in three categories to this day.”

Rong Yi’s old fans are as low-key as he is. For so many years, it is the first time they have seen their favorite player become a hot topic of discussion. They are nervous and excited, carefully recommending him to passersby.

Because they were previously bombarded by fans of other players, the old fans have learned to be cautious, and even videos of his impressive gameplay are only shared secretly. They don’t even dare to praise him too much.

As a result, the public’s favorable opinion of Rong Yi has increased even more.

Young fans carefully present Rong Yi’s world championship records, and even his records from last season in RS.

Who else in the League has achieved the highest damage absorption/engage efficiency/healing, if not Rong Yi?

His brilliance has been concealed for too long.

“There really is someone so amazing in the League! I’ve been playing for so many years and have never heard of him! Following now!”

The winds on the competition field have already reversed, even the commentators who were just following the hype have begun to lean towards VIT, giving detailed analysis of Rong Yi’s precise maneuvers. The director also tactfully started playing replays of Rong Yi’s parts.

Due to the BP, VIT’s overall lineup tends towards late-game scaling, with only Rong Yi and Wu Dao Gu possessing initiation abilities.

Rong Yi wielded a silver hooked gun and dragged enemies around, directly achieving a double kill in collaboration with his teammates, then taking off like a rocket.

When he got going, he even sold his defensive equipment and went all out with attack equipment. With one swing of his hooked gun, he took off half of the opposing ADC’s health, and kept dragging him on the ground. The scene was very fierce for a while.

“Too cruel!”

Netizens typed in the live broadcast room, “I feel so much pain seeing him hit people!”

The third game was not as smooth as the previous ones due to the issue of lack of familiarity with collaboration. In the late game, they lost a team fight and RS took advantage of the opportunity.

However, this time, the situation was different from the first game.

This time, the one who survived and defended the base for VIT was Rong Yi.

On the other side, RS still had four out of their five people alive, although they were all not in their best shape. They were about to break through the defensive tower, and Xiao Yin was still split-pushing, unable to rush back.

It seemed that a comeback was imminent.

Rong Yi was calm and composed, with his eyes like stars.

His gaze on the screen did not change much, but all five judges behind him couldn’t help but gather around, standing with their hands behind their backs, staring at his computer screen.

Rong Yi clicked his mouse lightly.

The silver hook glimmered as it pulled back, hooking Xiao Yun out of the tower range despite her attempts at close-range control. Meanwhile, RS’s marksman Yao Cao was eager to take down the crystal and only moved forward, hoping to withstand the tower damage and deal damage to the crystal. However, Rong Yi quickly turned around without hesitation and accurately predicted his movement, flashing over to drag him into the fountain.

At this point, the others realized something was wrong. Lang Bai spoke up urgently, “Let’s go, let’s go! Don’t be greedy for victory this time!” But it was already too late.

They had forgotten that Silver Hook was the strongest pulling hero, with both control and damage, and could drag people a certain distance away. He was not just an ordinary mage who could only deal burst damage in one wave.

After dragging Yao Cao to his death, Rong Yi’s next hook did not stop. Lang Bai thought he was going to hook himself and immediately flashed to dodge, but was caught off guard as Rong Yi hooked the top laner Qingyan and pulled him back.

Rong Yi had no intention of fighting this wave and only controlled Qingyan, interrupting his attempt to retreat. Afterwards, Rong Yi sold an item, bought boots of swiftness, and started to chase down Lang Bai and Xiao Yun in earnest.

The four of them were neatly lined up and all fell victim to Rong Yi’s barrage.

Rong Yi was left with only half of his health, but Lang Bai and Xiao Yun didn’t dare turn around.

They clearly saw that Xiaoyin had already entered the crystal base, leading a wave of minions to push the base.

Even in the heat of the moment, Rong Yi’s attack order was incredibly calculated, frighteningly calm.

What kind of person could remain so indifferent in the face of almost certain failure and danger?

Lang Bai and Xiao Yun did not turn around, nor did they catch up.

They did not see that in order to catch up to them, Rong Yi had sold all his items and replaced them with speed-enhancing items, just to slow them down at the last moment.

And he succeeded.

When Lang Bai was about to flash and escape from Xiao Yin, he was pulled back by Rong Yi. His normal attack hit Rong Yi and killed her.

However, Xiao Yin had already destroyed RS’s crystal.

The victory page appeared on VIT’s side, with a score of 1:2.

At this point, the mentality of all RS members completely collapsed.

In the final game, their performance was even more confusing than VIT’s in the first game. VIT’s players had a good touch and effortlessly ended the game.

In the end, VIT won the second round of the regular season against RS with a score of 3:1.

RS fans were silent.

Soon, some people dug up a screenshot from before. It was a scene of RS fans celebrating after VTI lost:

“Easy said it was a training match? Which side was the training match for? Please make it clear before speaking.”

Now, everyone laughed together and gave the answer to that question: “It was VIT’s training match! Do you believe it?”

It was a joyful and exhilarating moment!

Rong Yi’s tormenting flow mid laner had quickly become popular. Even before the end of the game, the real-time update of the hero’s appearance rate had already changed.

Lee’s appearance rate directly topped the charts, while Silver Hook rushed forward six places from the bottom of the sewer.

Their strategies and hero selections all became popular.

At the end of the game, as usual, the players from both sides took a group photo.

Following his usual habit, Rong Yi only took off his headphones and gave them a slight wave: “I’ll be waiting for you guys backstage.”

As usual, his expression remained calm as he gracefully moved his slender and fair fingers.

Ci She was already Rong Yi’s number one brainless fan and raised his hand, saying: “Captain, I’ll accompany you.”

Xiao Yin said: “You’re not allowed to go. I’ll just go with Easy.”

Ci She began to argue with him: “Why not? You’re just the face of the team, so you should be the one to go out for the photo op, handshake, and interviews. Besides, the last time, you and the captain eloped in the pouring rain…”

Rong Yi: “?”

Xiao Yin was not moved: “You go out and practice how to face the media and make statements. You’ll be the spokesperson for our VIT in the future.”

“I won’t.”

Ci She saw that protesting was useless and played his last advantage as a shameless youngster: “I want to go with the captain. I don’t want to be surrounded and say so much. Also, I need to use the restroom.”

Xiao Yin: “.”

The other three: “…………….”

Rong Yi looked at Xiao Yin with concern. Fortunately, as the league’s number one cold-faced male god, Xiao Yin kept his last bit of reason and gave up this meaningless argument, pulling Hui Mao and Wu Dao Gu out.

In front of the league’s live camera, everyone was eagerly anticipating their appearance.

Only three members of VIT came out, and everyone wondered why they were a bit disappointed and started discussing.

“I wonder when we’ll get to see Easy! I’m really curious!”

“Yes!!” Soon, someone remembered the dynamic that CH’s little assistant had posted before, “CH’s Silver Wing said that Easy is the world’s most handsome person! Maybe Easy has a really high level of facial attractiveness!”

“The average facial attractiveness of VIT won’t be low either.”

“And his voice must be good!”

Amidst a lively discussion, the host smiled and turned to the gray cat who looked the most nervous: “This is the first time Hui Mao has appeared in the regular season of Group A. Do you have any special thoughts to share with everyone during the game?”

Hui Mao thought for a moment.

He picked up the microphone and said after a while, “I was very nervous before the game, but the captain talked to me and I’m not nervous anymore.”

“Oh, what did E God say to you?” The host took the opportunity to ask, and the audience perked up their ears.

Hui Mao was a little embarrassed. “I didn’t play very well with Little Key, and the captain told me about his past experience, saying that he was also a Little Key in his first start and sent the whole team to die.”

Before the host finished speaking, Xiao Yin suddenly laughed.

“He lied to you.”

Hui Mao and others looked at Xiao Yin curiously.

The online audience watching the live broadcast also became curious and eagerly awaited.

Under the light of the media and the arena, Xiao Yin’s face was cold and perfect. Only when he mentioned Rongyi did a slight softness appear in this indestructible and icy perfection.

Xiao Yin’s tone was very light, but very certain, “He did play Little Key in his first start as support. But with him supporting, we won 14-0 against the opponent.”

“Even now, his win rate with Little Key is 100%.”

“I remember. Everyone should go watch that game.”

As they looked at the screen of the unyielding and cold man, netizens were boiling.

“Brother Yin is a damn Easy super fan!!”

“I’m going to watch it! Right away! I’m running to Easy!”
