A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 44

His voice was light, with no hesitation, like the wind, and he himself was like the wind, not lingering too long, just passing by directly.

Green stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to continue talking or to switch to another person. At the same time, his mind was still stuck on the two words that Xiao Yin had said. Partner? Xiao Yin and Easy were already married?

This part of the rumors that only belonged to the elders in the circle, Green had heard about it. After Xiao Yin and Rong Yi broke up five years ago, they went straight abroad and should not have had much contact in between. If Xiao Yin didn’t believe those words, why did he break up with Rong Yi back then?

Considering Yin’s typically gentle and kind demeanor, his abrupt departure seemed cold and unusual. Some journalists and fans secretly took pictures of it. A few people entered the game room.

Rong Yi was sitting in the e-sports chair, lightly moving his fingers. His BP plan had already been made and distributed to others for feedback, allowing everyone to provide suggestions together. Today, Rong Yi had a strong premonition that he would be caught.

“Is there any reference?” Xiao Yin glanced at his judgment and asked.

Rong Yi shook his head. “Intuition. I can only say that it depends on the situation. The others are all fine, but RVG’s Green is a very powerful character in the league. He has been a starter for so long, so there must be a reason for it. After they reorganized their team, they have been somewhat restrained in the recent regular matches. I’m afraid they’re still hiding some big moves.”

“But it’s okay,” Rong Yi said. “We have our own way to deal with whoever they catch.”

The game began.

VIT’s BP was mostly handled by Hui Mao. The rest of the team discussed and provided feedback before voting. As a result, the number of times VIT was counter-picked was gradually decreasing, and everyone could see the rapid growth of the young players in the team.

This proved Rong Yi’s tactical judgment that whoever is more immature should be in charge of BP, and it had a positive effect.

Rong Yi, Xiao Yin, and Wu Dao Gu were more experienced in playing matches, and their positions allowed them to make timely adjustments to the formation and situation, and they could cooperate with the team seamlessly.

However, the bottom lane duo doesn’t have much room for choice; they only have two possibilities: either they can make a comeback or they can’t.

If they can’t make a comeback, it means they’re being targeted, and their position will be to delay the opponent’s time and attention, leaving the others to develop and advance. Therefore, it can also be said that the only part of VIT that can be affected by BP is the bottom lane.

First of all, they must accommodate the best system of Ci She and Hui Mao, and the opponent can only counter according to VIT’s bottom lane system. Afterward, VIT’s entire team can also judge the best point of cooperation based on the final lineup, that is, whether to give up the bottom lane or not.

In the first game, the opponent banned Leaf, Princess, and Earth Mother. Rong Yi picked an owl, a vision-based mage, according to the lineup selected by the opponent. The first game is usually a mutual probing, with no full disclosure of moves.

Xiao Yin picked the hidden hero, and everyone else took their positions. The BP preparation and online segments usually have a few minutes of blank time, during which the commentators and guests chat, filling the gap.

“Speaking of which, RVG is an old team, and their relationship with Easy is not shallow. As far as we know, their team manager wanted to buy Easy, but it didn’t work out in the end.”

“Green, this player, also met an old friend today. He has known Rong Yi for a long time, right? I remember they were friends, and green has always been a fan of Easy.”

“He has said he especially wants Easy to assist him.”

“Doesn’t everyone without a jungler want Easy to assist them?”

“Hey, but I looked it up, and he also knows Yin. They were all trained together. It looks like today is a nostalgic game!”

Although it was said to be a nostalgic game, the situation after online was not nostalgic but rather intense. In the first game, Ci She and Hui Mao took a powerful combination, thinking that the opponent would target the bottom lane, but the Green team was very clear and took the mid lane in the first minute, killing Rong Yi under the tower with five people.

“No problem.”

Rong Yi glanced at the time, his voice calm. “It seems my premonition was right. I’ll give them a free kill, you guys focus on developing, don’t worry about me. I can drag it out.”

RVG intended to cut off the midline, control the linking part of the entire top, jungle, and bottom, and push the tower aggressively. If VIT doesn’t come to support the midline, they’ll face a situation where the midline is completely pushed through, and the core vision area is completely blocked.

But no one from VIT came to support.

Rong Yi could hold out on his own.

And so far, the opponent has been using the 3-1-1 and 4-1 strategies. The longer he holds out, the more advantageous it is for the other four members of VIT.

The crisp sound of keystrokes was the only sound in the quiet training room.

One person dragging four people is not an easy task.

The Owl is not a hero who pulls and drags like the Silver Hook, nor is he a fast-in-fast-out type of hero like Lee Sin. His passive skill is “Clear-headed” – all soft control skills are ineffective on allied members within range, and he can activate the “Gaze” state. In this state, he can gaze at all enemy heroes who have been controlled, and the effect lasts for three seconds.

Rong Yi also likes the name of this gaze skill, called “Xiu Liu.” He is a hero suitable for the support position, but due to his low health and several official nerfs, he is currently mainly used as a support mid-laner.

[“Easy’s choice of the Owl… it’s not that it’s a bad choice, but it seems difficult to counter-attack and difficult to pull.”]

[“That’s right, he can only use his face to explore and then give other teammates his vision. This puts a lot of pressure on him, especially when Easy has already given up first blood.”]

The audience watched the situation in the middle lane with bated breath.

Rong Yi has already maximized what the Owl can do, enduring several three-for-one and four-for-one exchanges for more than half a minute each time.

These few half-minutes created the best development environment for everyone.

Wu Dao Gu on the top lane ate two waves of small monsters, and Ci She and Hui Mao in the bottom lane kept expanding their advantages.

The first turning point appeared when Xiao Yin reached full level.

The enemy also knew that Xiao Yin had reached full level and did not want to confront him head-on, so they retreated, leaving behind a low-health Rong Yi in the middle lane.

It was supposed to be a wave of retreat, and Rong Yi was already 0-3.

At this point, he could retreat and avoid dying again.

Everyone thought Rong Yi would retreat, but he didn’t.

He flashed forward and stuck to Green’s jungler, Di.

After applying a passive, he gave Xiao Yin vision.

On the screen, the silver light shattered, and Xiao Yan flew down, directly cutting Green off and killing him on the ground with several slashes, cutting off RVG’s retreat.

Rong Yi took some splash damage from being controlled, and his health bar was empty.

But he didn’t die yet.

The health bar was delicately hovering at 3/4200.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t die.

Audience:

[“Wow!! That was a profit!”]

[“Amazing luck, his character must have had high durability.”]

Rong Yi realized he had escaped for free, but not completely. So, he found a hidden spot to teleport back to base.

Xiao Yin stopped by and stood beside him, protecting him as he returned home safely.

Rong Yi said, “It’s okay, I can go back myself.”

Xiao Yin replied, “It’s fine. They have already lost out.”

The first wave of RVG’s tempo, brought by their rhythm mage, had already been interrupted. They were stalled by Rong Yi and couldn’t achieve the maximum harvest before Xiao Yin’s return. On the other hand, all other members of VIT had gradually developed their skills.

Ci She played exceptionally well in the laning phase, forcing the enemy ADC to go back to base several times. After Xiao Yin arrived and helped him to take a few more kills in the bottom lane, the situation turned in their favor.

Xiao Yin kept on breaking the rhythm, killing enemies and causing their mental state to explode.

When the audience witnessed Xiao Yin flying directly under the enemy’s first tower and taking down the main character in a scene reminiscent of a military operation, they could no longer contain their excitement.

In the live chat, viewers were spamming messages.

[“His 36-degree finger movement produced such a chilling Xiao Yin!”]

[“RVG must be regretting not banning Xiao Yin. I really want to see the on-field special effects of Brother Yin’s game kills.”]

[“We have seen it before when he was in QILIN overseas. He usually doesn’t show much emotion.”]

After gaining the advantage in the bottom lane,Rong Yi switched positions with Wu Dao Gu, moving to the top lane.

Changing positions between mid lane and top lane is not uncommon, but it rarely happens. Mainly, it is because the differences between the two side lanes are significant.

This is also the difference between professional matches and ordinary games. In an ordinary game, everyone has to play in their respective positions. However, in a professional match, there are no positions, only assignments and risks.

[“Our perspective sees that Easy has already gone to the top lane! He didn’t reveal his position! Neither did Wu Dao Gu!”]

[“RVG is currently searching for someone! They have noticed something unusual, but they’re not sure what’s happening!”]

In the vision, Wu Dao Gu was hiding in the grass near the mid lane, and the enemy support came to check the vision, intending to initiate a three-versus-one attack. However, after Wu Dao Gu used his skills, he cooperated with Xiao Yin and took down two kills.

Only Green managed to use his speed boost to escape with low health.

Within a short few seconds, Rong Yi took Wu Dao Gu’s minions and was gradually catching up in gold, which he had fallen behind due to previous deaths.

Only when they had established their advantage and started taking over the enemy’s resources would VIT start to reorganize their resources and allow their white players to replenish their gold.

This is the closest to the combination of AI computing power and game theory.

In the past, Ci She played this way, and now Rong Yi also plays in this manner.

Extremely beautiful line transitions and resource substitution.

As they passed by the blue zone, Xiao Yin suggested, “Let’s eat.”

Without hesitation, Rong Yi looked at the blue zone ahead of them and consumed the BUFF.

Despite his 0-3 record, his number of kills and assists began to soar and never changed again after that moment.

The opponents retreated step by step and, as expected, the game ended ten minutes later in VIT’s favor.

Exiting the game interface, only the stats of Ci She and Xiao Yin were visible on the VIT side, and the overall damage dealt favored RVG. However, this was typical of VIT’s style.

Although the opponents had more kills and seemed to perform better in team fights, VIT gradually erased every advantage until they ultimately failed.

The audience was amazed.

[“VIT has come back from losing positions in every game so far. What kind of team is this? It’s too scary!”]

[“It’s like a trap, both RVG and RS. You think you’re going to lose in the beginning, but you’re sure to win in the end. As an RS fan, my mentality has already exploded.”]

[“Didn’t RS fans already have a mental breakdown before?”]

[“Uh, I’m a fan of the RVG team, and I’ve had a heart attack. VIT is really a trap in a favorable position. I can’t understand how we lost.”]

In the training room, the game was over, and Ci She needed to use the restroom while Hui Mao requested some water.

Rong Yi raised his hand to request a break from the referee, leaving only him and Xiao Yin in the training room.

While getting some water for himself and bringing a cup for Xiao Yin, Rong Yi reminisced about the game, saying, “The other team played well today, better than RVG before their reorganization. Green still has some skills.”

Knowing the referee, Xiao Yin asked, “Captain Rong has played against Green many times before, right?”

“Yes, we’ve played quite a few games together. We’re old acquaintances. We should have played together for over 800 games in RS, but we haven’t met offline much.”

“RVG’s home base is in City C, which is quite far away. I haven’t seen him in years,” Rong Yi added.

The referee chatted with Rong Yi for a while, but Xiao Yin remained silent and drank his water slowly.

Remembering that Xiao Yin probably knew Green, Rong Yi asked, “You’ve met him before, right? You were in the same youth training program. RO’s young players are really talented.”

After a momentary pause, Xiao Yin replied lightly, “We’re not that close.”

Rong Yi noticed that Xiao Yin seemed visibly irritable that day and made a small sound with his mouth, almost imperceptible.
