YBWYS

Chapter 5

"That's nice, Yang god, someone came to cheer you on."

"She's here to collect a debt."

......

"It's quite possible that before she came here, she prayed that someone would break my hands."

"Tsk, your ex-girlfriend?"

"Yeah."

On stage, Jian Yang ignored the teasing from his fellow teammates and adjusted his keyboard with a gloomy face. After he was sure it was fully functional, he signaled the staff behind him.

The first round started right afterwards.

First came the champion select stage. Each side had three chances to ban a certain champion. The champion being banned couldn't be selected for that round. Usually, a team would ban the favorite champions of the opposing side. Other times a team might ban a champion they don't think they'll be able to pick in time or ban a champion they find particularly weak in their match up.

Since each side had studied the other team, this segment went by quickly. In no time, the six banned champions were chosen. Then it moved to the next segment, choosing champions-- --

The first player on the blue team would pick his champion first, then the second and third players on the red team, then back to the fourth and fifth players of the blue side, and so on until each side had five, a total of ten champions. During this stage, each player might not choose the champion that he would actually play, usually they would choose the champions they needed for the strategy they had devised beforehand. They could switch who would actually play the champion later.

Commentator A: "ZGDX has gone ahead and selected Viktor, the strongest in the current Meta. They have chosen a mid-champion as their first pick, somewhat early don't you think?"

Commentator B: "How is it early? If they don't take Viktor, then CK will definitely take him away. Now, I think CK will choose a counter champion against Viktor......What do you think?"

Commentator A: "Well Viktor isn't particularly mobile, so in this case I would probably choose Leblanc. She has a strong attack and can easily gank with her mobility."

Commentator B: "Leblanc? Hahahahaha, she'd work well. I remember that CK's mid plays Leblanc well"

Hm?

Leblanc.

Tong Yao sat under the stage, cupping her face, and thought randomly: I'm good at playing Leblanc too. It could count as her trademark champion. When she reached the top on the Chinese server, someone even called her the number one Leblanc on the Chinese server!

She raised her eyelids slightly to glance at the large screen. Since the jungler was in the second position of the red team, Jian Yang would be the first one to pick for his team. As expected, Jian Yang had clicked on the picture of Leblanc, but he hadn't locked in his selection.

......

Tong Yao straighten up slightly and crossed her legs. Her lips curved up with great interest.

The commentators began speaking again.

Commentator A: "Speaking of Leblanc, I just thought of someone."

Commentator B: "Who?"

Commentator A: "We were just talking about the issue of girls playing games. Do you remember the number one Leblanc, Smiling, on the Chinese server? I heard that Smiling is a girl."
