I Can Do It

Chapter 54

Like before, they were the second match of the night.

Today, the competition was taking place in TTC’s home stadium. Jian Rong had passed by this place before in the past.

There were many esports teams based in Shanghai, so originally no team in Shanghai had their own home stadium. However, TTC’s boss had too much money, so he had directly opened an offline esports arena that was both spacious and close to the river. At the time, it had even been a hot topic among the esports circle for a while.

After TTC’s boss negotiated with the LPL, that arena also ended up being integrated into the ranks of the LPL’s competition stadiums.

When he got out of the car, Jian Rong raised his head and took it in anew. TTC’s home stadium was an extremely cool-looking black building with a sharply angular white crown logo embedded on its body. Matched with the slightly protruding letters of “TTC,” the building was low-key yet handsome.

“At night, our team logo, name, and the edges of the building all light up, it looks super cool. You can take a look when we’re leaving.” Noticing Jian Rong’s stare, Yuan Qian patted his shoulder.

Jian Rong snapped out of it. He shifted his gaze away before walking into the arena. “Okay.”

Lu Boyuan had bundled himself up very tightly today. The brim of his hat covered his eyes completely, and everything else was hidden underneath his mask; adding on the black uniform with white lettering, he seemed entirely like a patch of darkness. On the other hand, he did match quite well with the building.

Immediately after entering the break room, Jian Rong went to close the window securely before sitting down.

The TV on the wall was broadcasting the current match. The first match had already entered the pick/ban phase, and it was PUD versus UUG.

Jian Rong had played one practice match against UUG before, but he wasn’t very familiar with the team. The only thing he remembered was that the team hadn’t entered the World Championship finals last year.

As for PUD… Jian Rong had never played a practice match against PUD before.

“PUD is using Mordekaiser with Leona?” Yuan Qian frowned as he watched the stream. “They’ve really got some guts.”

“It’s a new strategy pulled from Korea’s high-ranked games.” While Ding-ge noted it down, he said, “Recently PUD has probably been practicing quite a few new tactics from Korea.”

“It’s not something the Korean server came up with. That combination has been showing up in the national server’s ranked games for a while now.” Lu Boyuan coughed and said with a stuffy voice, “At the most, the Korean server just perfected this strategy. A champion like Mordekaiser… has high DPS and is tanky enough. Paired with any hard CC champ, he’ll be extremely strong regardless whether he’s being played in mid or bot lane.”

“Enough, you shouldn’t speak so much with that voice of yours.” Ding-ge was fully concentrated on the TV. “Let’s see what happens first.”

Xiao Bai propped up his chin on two hands and asked curiously, “In your opinion, how much money does PUD have to spend in order to schedule a practice match with a team from Korea?”
