You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 52 (2)

Lu Sicheng muttered: “Useless.” Then he stood up to go outside to finish the conversation…... After he left, everyone at the table resumed speaking at their normal volume. Tong Yao poured some soju for herself, took a sip, then raised her eyebrows: “Is Cheng Ge really going to have a blind date?”

“He’ll probably just go through with it.  It’s usually impossible to change anything my mom has decided.” Lu Yue shrugged. “Besides, if the girl is really as good as she said, it’ll be nice for him to fall in love. It’s better than him living like a robot now.”

Tong Yao: “Oh. It’s easy for you to say that. Why did you throw away the phone when your mom was going to arrange a blind date for you too?”

“I’m different.” Lu Yue giggled: “I have League of Legends. Diana, Scorn of the Moon, is my girlfriend.”

Tong Yao: “......”

……

Lu Sicheng didn’t mention anything about the blind date later on. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about it after a while.

For the second week of the competition, ZGDX was scheduled to play against Huawei on Thursday at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and against Lan on Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock------Among all the teams in ZGDX’s group, these two teams could count as the more difficult ones……josei

Lan was a veteran team; though the team hadn’t been doing too well in recent years, it had never fallen out of the major league. Its rank mostly hovered around the middle of the league. The team worked well together and was particularly tenacious. Checking the team’s record, they’ve beaten all the other teams and have lost to all of them as well. They had defeated ZGDX but it also had lost to a minor league team, the most amazing thing was that the win and loss happened in the same week-----It was truly pitiful to be the fans of this team, one second in heaven and in the next second, hell.

Huawei team’s condition was a bit more complicated than Lan. In theory, it was the only team which could counter ZGDX in this group…...This team had a Korean player that the team had bought from last year’s world championship team TAT. He had joined TAT after Lu Sicheng had left the team, an old teammate of Pope. His name was Kun and his ability to control the jungle was better than Old K. He was also good at discerning the weakness of his opponents and creating an advantage for his teammates------

During the last skirmish, Old Cat was harrassed so much by Kun that he couldn’t do anything to help the team. In the end, it was Tong Yao who had built the foothold at mid and the advantage created by the pair at bot that Lu Sicheng could take control of the match in the late game to win the skirmish……

Out of the respect to Kun, the champion jungler, ZGDX had began studying Huawei’s game videos early on. The notes on Tong Yao’s little notebook increased by the speed of 3 pages a day since Monday……

Other than doing the necessary ranked games and skirmishes, Tong Yao would sit on the sofa, holding her cat, watching videos with Ming god and discussed about their players from time to time-----

“If they are on the blue side, Kun will definitely go for the crab.” Tong Yao pointed at the screen. “If you have vision from the crab, he can see the enemy jungler’s movement and invade the enemy jungle or wait for a chance to counter jungle. His success rate is rather high. Here, here, and here, he’s done it……”

Tong Yao kept clicking to pause the video.

“On the contrary, if he didn’t get to the Crabgot in the beginning and removed all the wards near him, then his tempo isn’t as good.” Ming god bent over to click on the mouse. “It was like that at this match against CK. Because he lost his tempo in the early game, Yang god almost took over the whole jungle.”

Tong Yao quickly jotted down some notes in her notebook.
