A clear and light voice emanated through the microphone and was subsequently recorded. Even the production team was excited.
Every time Easy talks trash, it’s really exhilarating!
The audience members who were influenced by the rhythm also gradually realized.
[“Yeah! What does it mean to catch and it’s fine? Can you catch, Easy?â€]
[“So arrogant, I love it! Although they just won a game, I feel like they will definitely shut out today! RS changed their tactics, but it didn’t have any effect!â€]
[“The commentator is at this level. I could also play games with my mouth and become a world champion. It’s not that impressive, as long as you defeat all the other teams, right?â€]
The commentary booth displayed the live barrage from the streaming room, and Lion, looking at the audience’s doubts, felt a bit overwhelmed.
His tone and expression also showed excitement, but on the surface, he struggled to maintain the professionalism required of a commentator. His voice began to tremble, “I saw that Easy also made a clear response. Actually, the situation on the field is something we, as audience members, cannot fully comprehend. The team captain also acknowledges this view. The weak link of VIT is indeed in the mid-lane.â€
[“That’s not a weak link, that’s the core of the offense,â€] a kind-hearted netizen reminded him.
A large number of viewers began to copy and paste, [“That’s not a weak link, that’s the core of the offense!â€]
[“What’s wrong with this commentator! Can’t we change him?â€]
Lion was still barely holding on, “Whether it’s good to catch or not also depends on the lineup. In the previous game, RS might have been a bit hasty and chose a strong control lineup, but their defense wasn’t strong enough. In fact, RS didn’t make any major mistakes throughout the game…â€
But soon, he couldn’t continue.
In the second game’s pick and ban phase, VIT banned the Earth Mother, and Hui Mao picked the Key of Memories.
Bing Bing noticed that the situation was starting to get out of control.
With her high level of professionalism, she tried to steer the conversation back, “After VIT used the Key of Memories in the regular season, other teams gradually began to learn and use this strategy as well. However, as we can see, the Key of Memories is difficult to master and is not considered an advantage in the current version. Even for professional teams, the win rate of the Key of Memories system is not very high. I remember it’s around forty percent–?â€
At this point, Lion should have taken over, but he didn’t. There was an awkward silence. Ice Ice had to cooperate with the production team and read the scoreboard data herself, “Forty-three point one percent.â€
Lion’s eyes reddened, and he stared fixedly at the hero selection screen.
VIT picked the Key of Memories as their first pick.
“VIT is being very bold. By revealing their strategy with the first pick, they are easily targeted in the draft,†Lion said. “Using the Key of Memories as support and playing with heroes that have passive damage, it’s definitely unstoppable.â€
As expected, after VIT selected their heroes, RS immediately picked Light Martial Lady and then banned Li.
Light Martial Lady, an extremely rare stacking passive marksman, combined with a 15% chance of disabling healing, as long as she hits five consecutive arrows, she would inflict a powerful vision impairment and bleeding effect that couldn’t be countered by the Key of Memories’ recall.
This created a counter relationship.
At the same time, Li was banned, and with the combination of Catch, they could continue their strategy of catching while slowly killing the bot lane. This game, VIT’s connection between the mid-lane and bot lane would be completely cut off.
But what happened next was unexpected for everyone.
VIT immediately picked Yin.
As everyone knows, Rong Yi and Xiao Yin can only be restricted one at a time. RS focused on catching Xiao Yin, so naturally, Rong Yi could relax a bit.
The most peculiar thing was in the bot lane.
While Hui Mao picked the Key of Memories, Wu Dao Gu picked the Spring God.
Some people gradually caught on.
[“Damn, dual support—how will this work? Will they both go bot? There must be one going mid!â€]
As the lock-in time arrived, everyone swapped their hero positions.
Hui Mao got the Spring God.
And the Key of Memories was given to Rong Yi.
[“The Key of Memories goes mid—oh my god! RS’s draft in this game is completely ruined!â€]
[“Everyone thought the Key of Memories was an assassin support in the first three picks!â€]
[“In this way, the ban on Li for the bot lane is meaningless! The pick of Light Martial Lady for the bot lane is also meaningless! Light Martial Lady’s passive stacks bleeding, but the Spring God’s passive also stacks healing!â€]
[“Damn it—did he actually pick the Key of Memories for the mid-lane?â€]
The online community was boiling.
Lion made several consecutive mistakes in his commentary, completely losing face, and the disadvantage that RS had from the draft in this game made him even more embarrassed.
RS was his favorite team, and he relied on their popularity to gain a firm fan base. Now, Lion was caught in a double bind.
Not only did the audience question him, but even RS’s fans felt like he was tarnishing the team’s image.
[“I’m begging you, please stop talking. Our team had a reorganization and changed tactics for a reason. VIT is currently at the top of the standings, Xiao Yin is a world champion, Easy is too, Wu Dao Gu is an intercontinental champion. How far do you think RS can win?â€]
[“You really can’t speak! Can’t you separate your personal issues with Easy from the team? The team is already frustrated because of Easy’s situation!â€]
The situation in the second game was particularly awkward.
The Key of Memories, due to its recall ability, was extremely difficult to catch.
Moreover, catching it had little value. It was a team fight-oriented support hero that relied on timing, and its damage output was not high. Even if it was caught, it would only result in team members being reduced, but the coordination it could provide when not caught was limitless.
Should they catch it or not?
What would be the meaning of catching it? None, and it was almost impossible to catch it.
If they didn’t catch it, could they win?
It was possible, but it also meant giving up the only vulnerable point of VIT that could be exploited.
RS fell into a dilemma as they failed to seize the opportunity. The mid-lane and jungle attempted several times to interfere with the mid-lane, but Rong Yi’s Key of Memories moved faster than a loach, making it impossible to catch. Instead, it exposed RS to vision and put them in a passive position.
After reaching full ultimate ability, Rong Yi calculated the cooldown time and directly counterattacked!
The first small team fight did not break out as RS’s mid-laner, Li Heng, and Lang Bai failed to catch their target and retreated separately.
Li Heng went to the jungle area for support and engaged in a skirmish with Ci She and Hui Mao. Their condition was not good.
Rong Yi said, “He is recalling. His movement speed is only 6, which is faster than walking home. He is probably between the second towers.â€
Xiao Yin replied, “Got it.â€
From the audience’s perspective, the Key of Memories activated its speed boost and dashed straight to the enemy’s tower!
At the same time, Yin flew from 800 yards away, landing between the second towers without vision, and caught up to Li Heng!
The blades shattered, tearing open a big gap on everyone’s screens.
Li Heng knew he couldn’t survive, so he didn’t use Flash and directly surrendered control, hoping to drag Xiao Yin to his death under the tower.
Meanwhile, the Key of Memories activated its recall ability, and Xiao Yin returned to the bottom lane without hesitation, catching the Light Martial Lady who was hiding in the grass, securing another kill.
The Key of Memories, combined with Yin’s 40-second ultimate ability, was unstoppable.
This was the strategy they had trained for in the past period.
To excel with Yin in the professional arena, one must have excellent predictive ability and a global view without vision.
However, Yin’s weakness lies in his inability to stay with the team for an extended period and deal sustained damage. The problem of how to retreat after bursting was a challenge.
The Key of Memories could solve this problem.
Wherever the Key of Memories went, Xiao Yin went. He only needed to be a reaper of the harvest.
It’s not that no one has practiced this strategy before.
The reason it hasn’t succeeded is that the cooperation wasn’t between Rong Yi and Xiao Yin.
The audience was already blown away, literally.
They hadn’t seen such an entertaining and thrilling team in the seasonal competition for a long time.
Since the beginning of Group B in the regular season, VIT had maintained this playstyle.
Wherever Rong Yi was, before the enemy even realized it, Xiao Yin’s blades had already arrived.
The two of them went on a killing spree directly on the battlefield.
Rong Yi gave up all his economy and resources. Even if he died, the loss was minimal. By the mid-game, Xiao Yin’s economy had already surpassed everyone except for Ci She by four thousand, and he had a seven-thousand gold lead over Lang Bai.
Many strong teams make a mistake when they have an economic advantage in a favorable situation, using it to force team fights and push aggressively. However, in reality, a vision advantage has nothing to do with an economic advantage.
Having an economic advantage does not necessarily mean having an advantage in team fights. Sometimes, due to the difference in the situation, it may cause the opponent to enter the defensive phase too early. The value of the information gap between the defensive phase and the strategic phase is no longer the same.
VIT remained calm during the favorable situation, always guarding blind spots with vision. Wu Dao Gu and the bot-lane duo started pushing and operating, while Rong Yi and Xiao Yin played hide-and-seek, simultaneously wreaking havoc in all directions.
“Easy and Yin killed Yao Cao… Lang Bai came to intercept, but Xiao Yin had already teleported back… Easy is coming again! Xiao Yin’s ultimate is not over yet, he’s going to fly again!â€
“Lang Bai dodged the attack with his positioning, but VIT’s ADC, Ci She, is in front of him… Lang Bai got eliminated by Ci She…â€
The Lion’s mentality finally completely collapsed.
In this match, he couldn’t even use any rhetoric to save RS’s face because in this match, Rong Yi controlled the overall pace.
All the highlights of the match were in Rong Yi’s hands.
If he didn’t mention Rong Yi, there was no need to commentate on this match.
The Lion said in frustration, “RS really played very, very, very poorly this match.â€
Using “very†three times in a row completely enraged all the RS fans.
A bloody battle erupted once again.
The audience and bystanders were just watching the spectacle.
[“To be fair, it’s not that RS played poorly; it’s just that VIT is too strong.â€]
[“Easy is truly powerful. I don’t even remember him in RS. In my eyes, Easy is like a newcomer who just entered the league this year, a super dark horse.â€]
[“With him, I even started imagining the World Championship. Seriously! How can he cooperate so well with Yin?â€]
[“I’m getting PTSD just by being on the receiving end!â€]
[“I already have PTSD. Look at Li Heng’s positioning in RS. He’s been caught four times this match, and now he doesn’t dare to be in the front anymore.â€]
[“A casual fan here whispering—Easy and Yin are amazing! They are in a romantic relationship! Does being in love really have a positive impact on cooperation?â€]
[“Upstairs, love in the workplace is this sweet!â€]
[“Ah, it’s really sweet. Being a fan of VIT is so fulfilling.â€]
[“But the host hasn’t updated the sugar for ten days. Everyone is asking what the boss and his partner have been doing lately. The host says, ‘Training.’â€
[“They train day and night. Waiting for sugar has been so bitter!â€]
