Chapter 244.2: In the first match, the battle of freedom, FTW scored a point!

Just now, the fighting at the top lane had been in full swing. VIVI’s radar was much sharper than Little Ning’s, and he’d realized that if he didn’t go up to provide support for this wave, it was very likely that their top-jungler combo would end up dead.

Losing both players would create a disadvantage for L&P, who was in a relatively weaker situation. If they wanted to fight back, then they would have to kill Close and Quiet, and ensure that at least their captain or Old G remained alive. So, he had to go and provide support.

His teleportation CD had just come off cooldown. VIVI immediately pressed on it, but unexpectedly, a chord fell down and landed on him.

His casting had been interrupted. VIVI narrowed his eyes.

Little Ning was cowering a little at this moment. It was over, it was over. He always had a feeling that he was about to be squeezed to death by the earth mage. What should he do, what should he do?

Fu Li’s calm voice sounded in his ear. “You can’t outthink him, but can’t you beat him?”

It was as though the clear all button had been pressed. There was nothing left in Ning Zhehan’s brain.

He didn’t think, didn’t try to guess., and didn’t try to predict anything. He’d just fight and be done with it!

Since his positioning would be seen through, and any plans he made could be countered…since thinking too much would only shackle him, then he would just… trust his instincts!

Ning Zhehan was very clear about the earth mage’s skills.

The first skill was a control skill, the second was a shock type skill, and the third was for burst damage.

He was also very familiar with the terrain of the middle lane. He hid in the bushes for a half a second, and the ground beneath his feet shifted. The earth mage’s skills were about to fall into place.

It didn’t matter if it landed on his left or right. The important thing was that the positioning of the sound shock couldn’t be off-center, and the important thing was that ‘sacrifice’ had to deal the maximum amount of damage. What was even more important was that ‘listening’ needed to strengthen his basic attack!

VIVi originally hadn’t thought too much about it. Pressing Little Ning to the ground and killing him off was a common occurrence.

Although there was no way for him to support the top lane, killing off the zither warlock would also provide L&P with an advantage. So, he gave up on providing support and opened up a ground fissure in order to attack Ning Zhehan.

This was a 1v1 fight, a mage solo in the middle lane of the canyon!

Solo.

FTW’s inherited solo.

Ning Zhehan was no longer afraid!

It wasn’t until the system announcement rang out, stating that Silvery had killed VIVI, that not only granny gray, but even VIVI himself was left stunned.

In those few short seconds, he’d felt a shocking pressure, an aura that made people’s scalp feel numb and a momentum that neither the heavens nor the earth could stop!

What VIVI hadn’t expected was that he’d be suppressed by Ning Zhehan’s momentum.

He’d been crushed by a little fuzz-haired brat.

FTW’s team chat was filled with joy.

Brother Cai was excited. “Little Ning, not bad, you played beautifully, badass!”

He praised Ning Zhehan so much that his face turned a little red.

At this time, everyone from FTW had resurrected. When the shadow thief and blood thief rushed out of the fountain, Wei Xiao’s lips curved up. “Come on, let’s win the game!”

This awesome opening in the game had to be followed through to the end!

At the backstage guest seats, Fu Li had an almost imperceptible smile in his eyes.

A retired veteran to his right, Chen Liang, said, “This brat Ning Zhehan has some skills.”

Fu Li replied implicitly, “He’s still tender.”

Chen Liang laughed out loud. “Don’t look down on those young generals. The future belongs to you young people.”

Who hadn’t grown into maturity from immaturity?

His tender immaturity also meant he had infinite possibilities.

The entire FTW was providing an interpretation of their new team manifesto––

Like the scorching sun shining in the sky, giving off infinite glory!

Under the stage, Chen Feng was more anxious and serious than anyone else.

After everyone died in the top lane and Ning Zhehan killed VIVI, Chen Feng almost jumped up to his feet.

Tang Chen was still smiling and laughing. “Not bad, not bad.” They’d all grown up. The cubs had gradually learned to stand up on their own, and FTW was really getting there.

Chen Feng exhaled lightly. “A little reckless.”

Tang Chen: “It’s fine as long as they succeed.”

Chen Feng: “If Wei Xiao hadn’t killed VIVI once before, allowing his farm to start building up, then Little Ning would’ve sent himself off to die in this round.”

These two coaches from FTW were also old partners, one was pessimistic, while the other was optimistic.

Tang Chen continued to smile. “Isn’t this what cooperation is?”

Chen Feng: “……”

Tang Chen’s words were really correct. There were prerequisites for Little Ning’s kill, but these prerequisites had already been created by Wei Xiao and even Close.

Wasn’t a good chain reaction the result of good teamwork?!

Close had attracted their opponent’s firepower, and Wei Xiao had taken three kills. Ning Zhehan had seized the opportunity to solo and won, a result of both relying on his teammates and seizing opportunities for himself.

Such tight cooperation that didn’t require too much thinking was definitely the best type of tacit understanding within a team!

This game had deviated from L&P’s plan.

The top-jungler situation was tense as both parties attacked each other until nothing but scorched earth was left behind.

L&P, who had originally been able to easily suppress the middle and bottom lane, gradually fell behind. When the one providing support from the middle lane changed from VIVI to Ning Zhehan, then the effects became quite different.

Ning Zhehan didn’t plan to go to the top lane at all. He ran straight to the bottom lane every time.

L&P’s marksman AA was relatively invisible in the team. It wasn’t that he was weak but that his teammates shone too brightly.

At first, Yue Wenle and Bai Cai had been beaten flat by the opposite side, but Ning Zhehan had inspired them. When he arrived, it was three against two, and there was nothing to fear!

There were flowers blooming in the mid-lane and the bottom lane. The key to victory in this game was the three little ones from FTW!

The live broadcast studio was very emotional. “FTW is growing very quickly.”

“It’s only been one season, but it seems like the newcomers have been hit with hormones, growing the whole way.”

“The most important thing is their team’s tacit understanding. It’s quite different from how it was last year.”

“It’s not that I’m a Close flatterer, but really, Close has changed a lot this year.”

“Oh, I feel like I love him even more!”

“He’ll be my husband for my whole life!”

Finally under FTW’s steady encroachment, L&P topped like a mountain and finally had their crystal pushed over.

In the first match, the battle of freedom, FTW scored a point!

Everyone in the audience cheered and clapped for a long time.

This was a very iconic game that could be taken out and talked about even many years later.

It was a new birth for FTW, showing their growth and progress.

The battle of freedom.

For freedom, for victory!

The second match soon began. After Chen Feng came up on stage, he knocked them all down a notch. “L&P won’t be careless in the next match.”

Brother Cai: “We won’t be, either!”

Little Ning: “Yeah!”

Chen Feng said solemnly, “Stay steady.”

The three little ones calmed down slightly, but it was still hard for them to hide the excitement lurking between their eyebrows.

They’d won against L&P, won against the double dark combo. They’d won against the year before last’s championship team and last year’s runner up team, the former Team of Gods!

Even if it was just a small match, it was enough to make them so excited they couldn’t help themselves.

Compared with FTW’s happy mood, L&P’s side was a bit quiet. Of course, they’d been very quiet during the last game as well.

L&P’s coach stood behind Yuan Ze. The only sounds in their team chat was from the two of them talking.

They discussed the line-up, tactics, and play.

Yuan Ze had very good looking eyes. When he was acting frivolous, it was enough to make people blush, but when he was serious, they were calm and deep, like black jade in a deep pool of water.

“Double berserker?”

“FTW won’t let that out.”

“The flying warrior or blood warrior, we have to take one of them.”

Yuan Ze stared at the screen and said, “Space-time knight.”

Coach: “……”

Old G spoke quickly, “If so, then we…”

Yuan Ze: “Take it.”

There was an uproar at the scene when L&P took the space-time knight.

Tang Chen was still as happy as ever. “Marshal’s space knight, hey…”

As FTW’s former top-laner and Yuan Ze’s substitute, Tang Chen knew Yuan Ze very well.

Yuan Ze, who was fond of teaching others, wished he could be everyone’s teacher.

Jungler, bottom lane, mid-lane. Other than support, he’d ‘taught’ all of them. Of course, he wouldn’t skip Tang Chenchen.

Although he was his substitute, Tang Chen had previously had almost no chance to play.

Alright, then. Be a bit more confident and take out the ‘almost’. He hadn’t had any chance to play.

The reason why the Team of Gods had substitutes at all was due to the competition system at the time.

They had to have a substitute for the globals. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be allowed to participate. So, Tang Chen from the second team had been brought in as a substitute.

He’d touched the world cup and gotten a ring to show for it, but he didn’t belong in the Team of Gods.

But later on…

Tang Chen had had a chance to play.

At the time, FTW had just won the championship and hadn’t yet split apart. It was an exhibition game and Yuan Ze said, “Let Old Tang go and play a game for me.”

Their coach back then had frowned. “It’s just an exhibition game…”

Yuan Ze: “So what if it’s an exhibition game.”

The coach couldn’t afford to provoke these guys and could only swallow down any unhappiness.

Yuan Ze said to Tang Chen, “Don’t you play your space-time knight quite well?”

Tang Chen hadn’t been as carefree as he was now and would still be nervous. “But I… I… um…”

Yuan Ze: “What do you mean, um? Can you or can’t you?”

Tang Chen: “… I can.”

Yuan Ze patted him on the shoulder. “Go, then.”

They’d naturally won the exhibition game. Tang Chen’s space-time knight had made everyone’s eyes grow bright.

It was a very interesting style of play, even if it wasn’t very suitable for the perfect Team of Gods.

What no one else knew was that, later on, Yuan Ze had also studied the space-time knight for a long time.

Tang Chen had asked him quietly, “Why are you interested in the space-time knight?”

Yuan Ze’s reply had been irreverent. “I occasionally want to support Little Lulu.”

The space-time knight tended towards support. It was an entry level top-jungler combo option.
