Ah, this…
In RNG’s communication headset.
Silence fell, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The four RNG players exchanged glances.
They saw despair in each other’s eyes.
Real despair, they wished they could erupt in anger, stand up and hit Jiang Chen on the head with a stick.
Even Xiang Guo, who had the best relationship with Jiang Chen, felt the same way.
How could you play the game like this?
This is the S series semi-finals.
It's not ranked!
Bro!
We thought Teemo was your hidden 'secret weapon'!
Go to hell with your secret weapon.
Jiang Chen also noticed his teammates’ murderous stares!
He could only smile sheepishly, his face filled with annoyance, “How can I control this hand? But it’s okay, it's not a big deal, I won't lose experience when I get back to lane.”
Uzi: …
Is it about losing experience?
It’s about attitude.
Attitude, you know?
You’re probably the first professional player to do this in the S series.
It's not probably.
It's definitely.
Definitely the first.
The moment Jiang Chen died.
A system prompt sounded in his head.
【Congratulations, host, you've sent an assist once.】
【Comprehensive strength unlocked to the first place in the national server.】
【Note: Comprehensive strength includes awareness, reaction, strategic vision…】
【Keep working hard, keep sending assists!】
Jiang Chen thought, "Here we go again? Can’t you stick to one statement? You even tell me to keep sending assists?”
RNG player lounge.
Heart ran his hands through his hair, gripping it tightly, he felt that if this continued, his precious hair would eventually be gone.
The wind blew.
A few sparse, brittle, yellowing hairs floated up.
It was strangely sad.
…
IG player lounge.
Kim Jeong-jun’s eyes were glazed over.
When he came back to his senses, the fat on his face trembled, he spoke slowly, one word at a time, "Jiang Chen, you dog, I beg you, be a human!"
The other staff members were also like they had seen a ghost.
I’ve been working at the club for so many years, I’ve never seen someone so outrageous.
…
The three commentators, Ziyuan, Jide, and Haokai, felt like they had eaten a fly.
Their faces turned from blue to white, they took a deep breath and recovered.
They began their work of damage control.
Jide: "RNG's substitute top laner is a bit… interesting, is he trying to mess with Shy’s mentality?"
Ziyuan: "This is probably the most entertaining player in the S series, I’m really looking forward to his performance in the lane, Teemo vs. 鳄鱼, we've all seen it in ranked, but it's definitely the first time in a pro game!"
“Alright, let's focus our attention on the game.”
Incheon Stadium.
The audience.
Looking at the Teemo corpse on the screen, lying under the turret.
Everyone stood up from their seats and erupted in a roar of cheers.
“Jiang Chen, you… are a really interesting professional player, but now we know why you’ve been sitting on the bench for half a year.”
“If I were Heart, I’d probably lose all my hair if I encountered this kind of player.”
“Heart didn't have much hair to begin with.”
“Oh really? I’m so sorry, hahaha…”
“Sorry, but I just can’t stop laughing when I think of Heart’s look of despair and his bald head.”
“Me too, hahaha…”
…
The atmosphere at the scene was lively.
As for the RNG fans who had flown all the way from China to Incheon, they were now filled with murderous intent.
They wanted to skin Jiang Chen alive.
Is this something a human would do?
Your mentality is broken, brother.
They stifled their anger for a while before comforting themselves with the thought, "It's okay, he sent an assist and took a turret, no one got the bounty."
The barrage of comments on all the major live streaming platforms went crazy.
“Is Jiang Chen even human?？”
“Hellish top laner, may you never find peace.”
“I’ve never seen someone so arrogant in my life, Shy will crush him…”
“Someone who treats the game like a joke, he doesn't deserve to be a professional player.”
…
Back to the game.
Jiang Chen, the instigator of all this, was calm.
He was planning his second turret dive.
He swapped his trinket for a ward, pressed Teemo's Move Quick (W) and charged out.
Uzi was in the bottom lane grass, defending, he said in the headset, “Jiang Chen, I beg you to play seriously! Don't do any of that fancy stuff anymore.”
Xiaohu was also scared, echoing, “Yeah, my heart isn't good, I can’t handle these weird plays.”
Jiang Chen gave a thumbs-up and replied, “Brothers, don’t worry, my goal is the S series championship, I have my own judgment, I'm going to put a ward in their red buff area.”
He walked towards the dragon pit.
He pressed flash.
He flashed over the wall.
…
He flashed over the wall.
…
The headset fell silent again.
Xiang Guo’s hand on the mouse trembled, his narrowed eyes suddenly widened, he yelled, “Old Jiang, are you crazy, is this how you ward?”
Jiang Chen could only force a smile and explained, “This is for your good, I’m figuring out Ning’s jungle route, you’ll be able to do things better early on.”
Xiang Guo: …
Ming: …
In the hearts of all the teammates.
The same word popped up at the same time – Hellish Top Laner.
Oh heavens, oh earth.
What sins did I commit in my last life to encounter this kind of hellish teammate.
Jiang Chen stealthily made his way to the enemy red buff area, following the wall, using his passive to hide in the grass next to the red buff.
Ning’s Lee Sin was hitting red.
200.
130.
26.
"Poof."
Jiang Chen timed it perfectly.
He used his basic attack (A) and stole the red buff.
