You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 170 (1)

The match officially began.

Old K knew that since Little Fatty wasnt here today, there would be issues with ward placement. He naturally chose Lee Sin as his champion, who relied on wards for mobility and diving, in order to work with Tong Yao to make up for the lack of wards. Once the the game began, Lu Sicheng briefly explained to Tong Yao where to place wards at bot in the early game, then he stopped talking-- --

When ZGDX was playing a match, the one who gave the orders was the one who talked the least. In order to lighten things up, there must be someone in the team to be the chatty one-- --Little Fatty was the one who usually took that important position in the team. But now he wasnt here, Tong Yao and Lu Yue picked up the responsibility for him

In the first two or three minutes of the match, ZGDX had a slight farming advantage at both top and bot. Together with their Jungler, ZGDX was in the lead with over 200 gold, which was a very minor advantage-- --At mid, the enemys mid, the one who was said he wasnt feeling well the first day when they played against ZGDX, was very combative and had even killed more minions than Lu Yue. Everytime, he moved up a level earlier than Lu Yue, he would come to throw some abilities at Lu Yue

Lu Yue: Hes very hostile. How can he be so aggressive with his Karma against my Annie. Is it because Im a new face so hes acting so belligerently?

Tong Yao: What else can Karma do other than poke at you How do you have the nerve to complain here when a wild card guy has more cs than you? Since the game just started, how about you come down and play support and Ill go play mid?

Lu Yue: Im the mid substitute.

Tong Yao had just cleared a minion wave with Lu Sicheng. She turned around and headed to mid: We can tell the referee that this is called a reasonable change of lanes.

Lu Yue started crazily pinging: I wont do it, go play support. Just leave wards. Then get lost, mid doesnt welcome you-- --Go away, quick, or Ill call the other sides jungler to come up here!

As he was talking, the enemy Karma had reached level 4. Seeing Lu Yue was playing passively, he came up to give Lu Yue a combo of abilities-- --However, he didnt expect Tong Yao to be on her way there. Tong Yao, with Lulu at level 4, came over to silence Karma, then e,q to slow and weaken the enemy. Lu Yue followed up with a combo of abilities. Karma was barely clinging onto life. In the end, Bears jungler came to help and Karma fled with Flash!

Bears jungler didnt continue to attack Lu Yue or Tong Yao. Even though Lu Yue had low health, he and Tong Yao had all four Summoner's abilities available, Lulu even had exhaust (halves the attack speed and movement speed of the affected champion). He only farmed a wave of minions then turned to leave mid.

Tong Yao hid in the bird nest of the four monsters in the jungle and tapped the B key to return to base: You would be dead if I wasnt here.

Lu Yue: ......

Tong Yao: Call me daddy.

Lu Yue continued to farm: To hell with it. Dont hide in the nest only to return and steal my experience points. Go further away. You think I dont see you?

Tong Yao didnt bother with him and went to base. She had a little over 800 gold on her now, just enough to buy a sightstone Tong Yao hesitated, mulling over whether she should buy shoes first or a sightstone. As she was about to move her cursor to the shoes, then to the ruby which would give her health and then later place wards, she heard Lu Sicheng warning her: Dont come back if you dont buy a sightstone.

...... Tong Yao replied without thinking: But I dont have enough money.

Lu Sicheng had been concentrating on farming from the beginning till now. He didnt move his head to check Tong Yaos screen, but answered without even lifting his eyes: You think you can fool me like Im a three-year-old? You should have about 850 on you by now.

Tong Yao glanced at her economy, 875 exactly. That was impressive, Tong Yao thought, it was like he owned League of Legends-- --She had no choice but to buy a sightstone plus two health potions. Then she went back to the lane and placed wards at the river brush at bot. She crossed the river to place a ward at the cross road to blue buff... Tong Yao was able to remember all the normal locations to place wards. But the more complicated placements or locations that could reverse the direction of the game were really beyond Tong Yaos ability-- --

Where else? Where else?

Thats good for now. Old K will place the ones in the jungle. You think youre doing flower arrangement, have to place them all over the place?

......

This was the difference between a professional support and a mid. The major difference wasnt  about their champion pools or maneuvering skills. It was about the vast difference between the map awareness of the two.
