The moment he realized what was happening, Yu Xinche turned around and left without even saying good night.
He thought being called baby was embarrassing enough, until the last second when he realized that calling him silently like He Ci did would be even weirder than actually calling him out loud.
He took a shower and went to bed, and for once he suffered from insomnia.
His mind was extremely active. Sometimes it was the scene of him playing basketball with He Ci at night, and sometimes it turned to the scene of him standing at the door of He Ci’s room, talking to him with his lips slightly open.
He didn’t like to waste time over-thinking. Knowing that he was thinking about all sorts of random things, he picked up the phone beside the bed and planned to play with it to distract himself.
It had been a long time since he opened the HIT forum. Yu Xinche clicked on it, automatically ignoring the prominent red words “Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new” in the CP section, and entered the competition area.
Many people compared his performance in the six games after his debut with He Ci’s previous support, some praising him and some criticizing him. Yu Xinche picked out the clearly organized comments and read them, and also paid special attention to a few posts analyzing Ah Jiu.
After all, they were going to play against their team next time, so he had to do some homework.
Posts that purely analyze techniques are as hypnotic as comprehensive science questions. Yu Xinche fell asleep while reading them. Before going to bed, he saw a post discussing the changes in He Ci’s playing style in recent years. The poster was an old fan, and his tone was fair and not extreme. He started his analysis from FIX, who just debuted five years ago, and gradually talked about the present.
Yu Xinche yawned and read two posts. Finally, he was too sleepy to continue and saved the post before his eyelids closed.
He’ll look at it next time when he remembers it.
The next few days were spent practicing step by step. The special account requested for Yu Xinche had not been issued yet, so they played more in the normal mode.
The day before the match against WING, HPL’s mid-season interview video was edited.
The one-hour long video was released in one go, and many teams and freshly-made funny memes became hot searches.
The funniest topic in TZ related topics is #TZ fined for sneaking a peek at bottom lane#, and the one with the highest number of views is #We still don’t know why we should spend three million to buy PURE#.
The true story of the dispute between Yu Xinche and TZ was still the most interesting story of the season that the audience wanted to know. Why did TZ refuse PURE when it was delivered directly to them? Could it be that Yu Xinche had some genius-level qualitative change during the training camp and impressed TZ again?
The official went over the questions in the interview with TZ in advance, and after obtaining their consent, the host asked the three teammates to talk about their views on the newcomer Yu Xinche.
They were all “battle-hardened” in interviews. They know exactly what they could and cannot say, and their answers were all small details that were not important.
Then they were asked about the team or player that impressed them the most so far, and several of them answered vaguely.
The host then said, “Several teams have expressed their desire to play against you. For example, WING’s player NINE said he is very interested in BREEZE and wants to play against our bottom lane team. Do you three have anything to say about this?”
The video was edited, with the three people split into three screens. First, CONTROL: “I want to tell Brother Jiu to come over quickly.”
BURN: “BREEZE is not afraid.”
Xiao Ou smiled and raised his left hand: “Xiao Che will beat you easily.”
The camera turned to Jiu: “BREEZE is capable, but I’m not sure if he can take FIX with him.”
This segment was about the contestants trash-talking each other to mess with people’s mentality and create some funny program effects. The audience was indeed amused by them and made all kinds of jokes in the comment section.
Players have a KPI for forwarding the post. WING’s jungler tagged He Ci and Xiao Ou when he forwarded the message, saying:
– I heard that you guys like to help the support to kill wild monsters [weird thinking expression]
Xiao Ou replied below: I also like to feed the enemy jungler’s head to the support [grin]
WING’s top laner replied to him: You should first clear out your own jungle.
This was a joke. Xiao Ou was distracted by chatting during a live stream and was almost killed by a wild monster while killing a small monster.
Afterwards, all the members of both teams responded to this post with trash talk. He Ci said that TZ just wanted to give the blue to the support, and Jiu could only envy them but there was nothing he could do.
Ah Jiu asked He Ci how did his status in the team had declined to this extent?
The AD on the opposing team debuted last season and could barely be considered a half-newcomer. Both he and Yu Xinche were timid and didn’t say anything overly extreme.
Yu Xinche said: My teammates’ dirty talk does not represent my position. I don’t need wild monsters, I just need a steady victory. [Starry eyes for cuteness]
The opposing AD player, SNOW, concluded: Just charge and it’s over, meeting adjourned!
Ten contestants held a team building here, and many fans came to check in in the comment section, and also contributed a hot search term #TZ和Wing 评论区团建#.
【Hahahahahahaha check-in】
【It turns out the two youngest ones are trash-talking noobs】
【Is this still SNOW? I haven’t seen you for a few days and you seem so restrained.】
【BREEZE’s performance was not good either. He was the kind of person who dared to punch He Ci, but how come he didn’t even dare to talk trash?】
【The group pet is like this】
【Hahaha, I can only say that I’m looking forward to it】
The much-anticipated match day between TZ and WING arrived. It was drizzling and the sky was gloomy.
The official publicity for this game was very strong and the venue was packed with more people than in the previous games.
Moreover, in previous matches, the TZ side had more spectators, but that was not the case today. Both sides had highly popular teams, the cheering from the audience was dazzling, and every player had a banner and light board.
Yu Xinche also became nervous. Especially when facing Ah Jiu, He Ci’s previous support, he hoped that he could keep a normal mental state and just treat this as an ordinary game.
On the other hand, he also wanted to perform at his best and be as perfect as possible to prove to everyone that he was the more suitable one for He Ci.
The two teams were old acquaintances and had a brief chat when they met backstage.
Ah Jiu was not as bold offline as he is online. He seemed to be easy-going and quiet. He specially greeted Yu Xinche: “Good Luck!”
“Thank you.” Yu Xinche said.
After the two teams parted, He Ci fell two steps behind and talked to Yu Xinche.
He seemed to be able to see everything and asked Yu Xinche: “Are you nervous?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t be nervous.” He Ci encouraged him, “Brother Jiu is not as scary as you think.”
Yu Xinche imagined that Ah Jiu was indeed like a big boss, a hurdle that was difficult to overcome. He thought for a moment and asked, “How many points can he get?”
He Ci thought for a moment: “85.”
In a previous competition in another city, when the two of them slept in the same room and chatted, He Ci gave his then-support a score of 75. This time he scored 85, which is already the highest evaluation He Ci has given his opponents in the past few games.
However, it was still below 90 points, so Yu Xinche relaxed a little, which meant that He Ci felt that he had shortcomings and had the confidence to deal with him.
In the first game, both sides used their regular lineups as usual.
The bottom lane group was a strong combination in the early stage. After the game started, the two sides had a passionate fight as soon as they walked to the line. Yu Xinche missed a hook, and Ah Jiu also threw the control mist wrong. Although the two sides fought fiercely, no one was injured.
【All skills missed】
【So angry】
【The ex is extremely jealous when seeing the current one】
“Neither of the two players in the bottom lane flashed.” Yu Xinche said to his teammates.
Xiao Ou: “OK, I’ll go catch it later.”
He Ci added: “Let’s counter-camp. We didn’t dodge either, so their jungler will definitely come as well.”
Xiao Ou: “That’s fine.”
He Ci’s prediction was correct. The duo in the bottom lane without flash was an excellent bait, which lured the enemy jungler.
Seeing this, Xiao Ou, who was hiding under the tower, immediately activated his ultimate skill and joined the small team battle.
In the end, He Ci and Xiao Ou each got a kill, while Yu Xinche died from the damage.
As an AD, He Ci relies on his mechanical skills to play the game; and as a commander, he always plays calmly and rationally.
Even this tiny advantage could be fully utilized by TZ, causing headaches for the opponent.
The first game was won smoothly, with all five players performing normally and without any mistakes.
In the locker room, the coach communicated with them the lineup he wanted to use immediately and then said nothing more, letting them rest.
In the second game, WING adjusted their tactics, relaxing the restrictions on TZ’s bottom lane during the bp phase and instead targeting Burn’s top lane.
Yu Xinche thus got Tide as he wished.
Tide had many control skills. Every time Yu Xinche used it, he would find a tricky angle to release the ultimate skill during team battles, allowing Tide to control as many enemies as possible.
It was the same in this game. After reaching level 6 and getting his ultimate, he wanted to go around the opponent’s blind spot and flash to use his ultimate. However, almost as soon as he entered the bush, Ah Jiu’s Mist Girl threw a ball of fog into it, revealing his presence.
With a very keen sense of smell, Yu Xinche intuitively felt for the first time what was said on the forum about “Ah Jiu’s invincible vision”.
But he didn’t give up. After the next ultimate skill was ready, he asked CONTROL in the voice chat: “I’m ready, can we grab it?”
“Sure, can He Ci hold up?”
“Can.” He Ci said.
“Then I’ll go.” Yu Xinche bought a more expensive small potion that could be transferred, and gave both bottles to He Ci before leaving, “Don’t die.”
He Ci accepted the potion: “Don’t worry.”
From the God’s perspective, not long after Yu Xinche left, Ah Jiu gave a warning signal to the middle lane.
But unfortunately, he was still a step too late. When he arrived, Yu Xinche had already killed everyone and retreated successfully with the cooperation of CONTROL.
At the same time, Ah Jiu led the AD forward, trying to put pressure on He Ci.
He Ci fought and retreated, and when he was about to die, he recovered with the help of potions, buying time for his teammates and holding on until Yu Xinche returned to defend.
【Spiritual Roaming】

【Wing is troubled by their strategy again】
WING suffered a loss in the previous game, and became cautious after their deaths, not giving TZ any chance to take advantage.
In the mid-game, Xiao Ou signaled at the dragon pit: “The economic gap has not been widened. Do you want to fight? I’m going to kill the dragon and force a team fight.”
“Okay.” He Ci and Control agreed.
“Then I’ll go set up vision.” Yu Xinche and Xiao Ou went to the area around the dragon pit to set up vision control.
He was used to placing wards in the bushes above the dragon pit. This was not a regular ward position, and sometimes the enemy doesn’t notice it and it could exist for a long time, thus having a miraculous effect.
Today was the same. He moved his mouse towards the bushes. Just as he was about to look around, a ball of mud suddenly flew out from the bushes – it was the skill of the top laner Swamp!
Flash was still on cooldown, and Yu Xinche reacted extremely quickly by moving to the side and trying to get away, but it was too late. He was controlled and unable to move, and was quickly killed by the top, mid and jungle three players who emerged from the grass.
Xiao Ou was covering Yu Xinche and providing vision. He retreated immediately upon seeing this, but was blocked by the shooting support who came from the other side.
“TZ lost two generals before the dragon fight. Without the jungler, they couldn’t fight the dragon. So should they still fight? – Well, they also wisely chose to give up.” Commentator A said in the live stream.
Commentator B: “WING is very detailed here. I noticed BREEZE’s habit of placing wards.”
【Bonus points for WING’s coach】
【The formulaic arrangement of vision is like this】
【You always place two wards at the dragon pit with one sweep, this has been studied thoroughly】
TZ gave up the fight for the Dragon in this round. WING advanced with the fresh Dragon’s buff and pushed down TZ’s two highland towers.
The situation reversed and the game became WING’s home court.
With an economic lead of more than 6,000, they swaggered into TZ’s jungle area, and then forced a team fight without giving TZ any chance to breathe.
Commentator A: “This team fight was very fierce. BREEZE reacted quickly and flashed to avoid the control, and then used his ultimate to knock back three people!”
Commentator B: “FIX also uses purification to remove the swamp’s stun. If you can keep up with the output, can you kill one first?!”
On the screen, Yu Xinche controlled three people, and his teammates dealt all the damage they could, but the damage was still not enough, and WING’s swamp only lost half of its health.
In the end, TZ was wiped out, WING gathered in the middle lane and pushed down the crystal.
Commentator A: “It’s a pity that the economic gap is too big. If the difference was only 3,000 or 4,000, it could have turned into a big deal.”
Commentator B: “We lost too much in the last wave… It mainly started when BREEZE was caught while providing vision, but we can’t blame BREEZE. We can only say that WING found the opportunity too well.”
Commentator A: “That’s right. Let’s take a short break. I hope both players can adjust well and face the upcoming third game.”
In the lounge, Yu Xinche rested his hand on the armrest of the sofa, tilted his head and rested his face on it, watching the broadcast screen.
The screen shows that the MVP of this game is Ah Jiu, and the exciting scenes of the game are being replayed.
TZ did not shift the blame, but he knew that he was the one who bore the brunt of the consequences.
The turning point of this game was that he was caught and killed in the dragon pit.
In fact, it was not just that wave, Yu Xinche withdrew his gaze.
Ah Jiu has a very strong vision and his operation was very stable. It is difficult to get any advantage from him during the laning phase.
The same was true in team battles in the later stages, his mist can always find the position of himself and his teammates.
Yu Xinche bit his lip, and his mind couldn’t help but replay the scene of being caught and killed just now.
“BREEZE.”
Suddenly He Ci called him. He looked up and saw He Ci had already walked in front of him. He raised his chin towards the door and said, “Will you accompany me to the toilet?”
En?
Yu Xinche suspected that he had heard it wrongly: “What?”
He Ci repeated.
After hesitating for a while, Yu Xinche stood up and followed him out, feeling a little nervous.
Just now, after he and Xiao Ou died, the team voice was silent for a second, and then CONTROL spoke first and said that everything was fine.
So Yu Xinche wasn’t sure whether He Ci was angry at that time.
It would be too uncomfortable to take him to the bathroom and give him a lecture.
Yu Xinche stopped halfway and said to him with his head down: “What do you want to tell me?… I know you blamed me for giving a kill just now.”
Instead of He Ci criticizing him coldly, he would rather admit his mistake first.
He Ci also stopped, stood in front of him, and looked at him steadily.
“No one blames you.”
Yu Xinche raised his head.
“I’m not angry either, and I’m trying to enlighten you.” He Ci leaned down slightly to get in front of him, looked at him straight in the eye, and asked patiently, “Understand?”
