I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

It was precisely because of C9's disadvantage in the bottom lane minion wave that CJ had the opportunity for this clever roaming play.

This series of closely linked reactions once again proves that in esports competitions, every battle and every detail in the early stages is crucial for both sides. A small mistake or advantage can affect the entire course of the game.

As the game progressed, the female police officer gradually accumulated enough experience, and her level increase allowed her to regain the initiative in the laning phase, and her operation became more and more skillful.

Meanwhile, C9's Thresh, after getting Boots of Mobility first, decisively chose to roam, taking advantage of the high mobility provided by the boots, in an attempt to break the current somewhat dull game situation and create more opportunities for the team by supporting other lanes.

At this point, judging from the overall situation, SSG's players were playing a tight defense, not giving C9 any easy opportunities for a solo kill. Under these circumstances, C9's Thresh turned his attention to the mid lane.

The mid-lane duel remained deadlocked, with the Cassiopeia and Orianna focusing on peaceful farming in their lane matchup.

Both players were well aware of each other's skill characteristics and threats, thus maintaining a high level of vigilance and keeping their health at a healthy level. Even with jungler support, securing a kill under these circumstances would be extremely difficult.

C9 clearly recognized this, and in order to break the stalemate in the mid lane, they decisively decided to call Rek'Sai to go to the mid lane together. They analyzed that if they could combine the strength of the three, they still had a high probability of killing the enemy Cassiopeia, thus opening up the situation for their team.

At the crucial six-minute mark of the game, Thresh and Rek'Sai carefully scanned the vision and meticulously planned and launched this gank.

Crown, the mid-laner for SSG, also possesses extensive experience and keen awareness. He knew that C9 might launch an attack on the mid-lane, so he positioned himself with extra caution.

Especially in blind spots, he remained constantly vigilant, his eyes glued to the minimap, keeping an eye on the enemy heroes' movements. When Thresh appeared at the edge of his vision, Crown instantly tensed up, successfully dodging Thresh's deadly hook thanks to his excellent reaction speed and positioning skills.

However, C9 did not give up. Rek'Sai decisively flashed, knocking up Cassiopeia and creating an excellent opportunity for her teammates to deal damage. Orianna also reacted quickly, unleashing her ultimate, a powerful gravitational field that tightly bound Cassiopeia within it.

In an instant, the light of skills clashed, and the Cassiopeia's health bar plummeted under the combined fire of the three, leaving her with barely any health. The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts, echoing throughout the esports arena, everyone marveling at this brilliant gank maneuver.
After this successful gank, the game's rhythm was completely disrupted, and both sides began to reassess the situation and adjust their tactics. C9, leveraging this advantage, attempted to further expand their lead, while SSG tried to stabilize their position and look for opportunities to counterattack.

The battles between the two sides in the jungle and lanes became increasingly fierce, with each clash filled with tension, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

C9's jungler, Rek'Sai, didn't let his guard down after securing an advantage in the mid lane. He quickly adjusted his strategy and began frequently invading SSG's jungle, disrupting the enemy jungler Olaf's rhythm.

Olaf, not to be outdone, teamed up with his lane teammates to counter Rek'Sai. The two junglers engaged in a thrilling chase in the jungle.

In the top lane, Impact's Rumble continued to dominate, relentlessly pressuring Ekko. As Rumble's levels and items increased, his flames burned even hotter, making the laning phase increasingly difficult for Ekko.

But Ekko didn't give up. He seized the opportunity when Rumble's abilities were on cooldown to launch a counterattack and try to turn the tide.

The situation in the bottom lane is also changing. After accumulating some items and levels, Caitlyn and Thresh gradually regained the initiative. With their excellent teamwork, they began to counterattack Jhin and Karma, and the minion wave gradually pushed towards SSG's turret.

The match entered a heated phase, with both sides engaging in fierce battles in every corner of the map.

The Dragon Pit and Baron Pit became crucial battlegrounds for both sides, with each team fight determining the outcome of the match. The audience's enthusiasm was ignited, their cheers and shouts seemingly about to lift the entire arena. The commentators, their voices trembling with excitement, continuously recounted the thrilling moments of the game, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
Therefore, facing this situation, C9 immediately called Rek'Sai to come to the mid lane. If they could combine the strength of three people, they would have a high chance of successfully blocking the enemy Cassiopeia.

At the six-minute mark, Thresh initiated the gank after scanning the enemy's territory. Crown, playing in the mid lane, was extremely cautious with his positioning, especially when blinded by enemy territory, managing to dodge Thresh's fatal hook.

Rek'Sai flashed and knocked up Cassiopeia, and with Orianna's ultimate, they brought Cassiopeia's health to a critical level.

But the snake girl's ultimate move that followed instantly froze the three of them.

Thresh currently has no other equipment besides two Boots of Speed, and he is still extremely fragile.

Under such circumstances, Crown directly chose to counter-missile, and finally got the head of Thresh in a one-on-three situation.

As the match reached a crucial stage, the mid-lane duel became the focus of the entire arena.

Crown Bro, the mid-laner for the SSG team, is known for his exquisite skills and keen game sense.

At this moment, he was controlling Cassiopeia, engaging in a fierce battle with C9's Orianna in lane. On the surface, Orianna showed no abnormalities, her last-hitting was stable, and her skill usage was just right; everything seemed to be proceeding as planned.

However, based on his years of experience in competitions, Crown Brother vaguely sensed something was amiss.

His focus wasn't limited to the mid lane; he also kept an eye on his teammates' signals and the enemy heroes' movements on the minimap.

He noticed that C9's Thresh in the bot lane and Rek'Sai in the jungle had disappeared from sight for a long time. Based on the previous laning situation and the enemy's tactical style, Crown Bro had a bold guess: the enemy might launch a gank on the mid lane.

To further confirm his judgment, Crown Bro quickly communicated with his teammates.

With the help of his teammates, he successfully confirmed by analyzing the enemy jungle's vision information that Thresh was likely to roam to the mid lane. At the same time, the vision placed in the enemy jungle also gave him advance notice of Rek'Sai's movements, knowing that she would lurk in the mid lane around three minutes and seven seconds to launch an attack on him in conjunction with Thresh and Orianna.

Faced with this situation, Crown Bro did not panic.

He knew that C9 was eager to gain an advantage in the mid lane, and this eagerness could become their weakness. So, Crown decided to play along, taking advantage of the opponent's eagerness to succeed. He would seemingly inadvertently reveal a weakness, giving the opponent an "opportunity," but in reality, he was carefully setting a trap, waiting for the C9 players to walk into it.

As expected, C9 saw their opportunity. They gathered three heroes, preparing to launch a fatal attack on Crown in the mid lane. Thresh, Rek'Sai, and Orianna, after some planning, quietly arrived in the mid lane. They thought their operation was flawless, unaware that Crown had already anticipated everything and was waiting for them to take the bait. When the three C9 heroes appeared in his vision, Crown's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm. He deliberately pretended not to notice the danger, continuing to farm minions, seemingly oblivious to the impending crisis.

Seeing this, the C9 players became even more convinced of their judgment and launched an attack without hesitation.

Thresh initiated the attack, unleashing his Q skill, Death Sentence, which sent a chain glowing with a ghostly blue light flying towards Crown's Cassiopeia like lightning.

Just when the audience thought the snake woman was about to be hit, Crown Bro easily dodged the fatal hook thanks to his excellent reaction speed and positioning skills.

Immediately after, the excavator flashed and lifted Cassiopeia, creating an excellent opportunity for his teammates to deal damage. Orianna also reacted quickly, unleashing her ultimate, a powerful gravitational field that tightly bound Cassiopeia within it.

However, Crown Bro was not thrown off balance by the sudden attack. He was prepared and, the moment he was controlled, he quickly unleashed his skills to counter C9's three members.

The snake woman's venom permeated the air, causing continuous damage to surrounding enemies.

Meanwhile, Crown Bro skillfully used the gaps in his skills to constantly move around and dodge the opponent's attacks.

In the heat of the battle, the C9 players gradually realized something was wrong. They discovered that although their skills hit Cassiopeia, they didn't inflict fatal damage; instead, they had fallen into Crown's trap.

Crown seized the opportunity, unleashed a crucial skill, and successfully counter-killed one of C9's players.

This audacious move left the audience speechless. After a moment of silence, the entire esports arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. The audience applauded Crown's brilliant performance, his name echoing throughout the venue.

This series of moves not only gave Crown a huge advantage in the mid lane, but also completely changed the course of the game.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to C9.

They combined their strength and used all their skills, but failed to kill the opponent. Instead, one of them was killed by the opponent.

This not only caused them financial losses but also dealt a heavy blow to their morale. They had hoped to gain an advantage in the mid lane through this gank, but instead, they were caught off guard by Crown's solo performance.

This event became a major turning point in the entire match.

Thanks to Crown's outstanding performance in the mid lane, that lane took off. He used his advantages to constantly pressure C9's Orianna, while also coordinating with his teammates to frequently attack C9's other lanes, forcing C9 into a passive defensive situation.

The current situation is very unfavorable for C9.

Both SSG and C9's support players were making plays, but SSG's CJ helped his teammates gain an advantage through skillful roaming and excellent vision control. C9's support SMOOTHIE, on the other hand, not only failed to give the bot lane a head start, but also ruined the previously stable mid lane situation.

In today's esports competitions, although the proportion of support roles may not be prominent in statistics, their role is crucial in matches between strong teams.

Especially in matches, supports often roam with the jungler. This makes the support's awareness and mechanics particularly crucial. The side whose support is more aware and can better track the enemy's movements is more likely to gain an advantage in the game.

Judging from today's match, this is exactly the case.

CJ's outstanding performance completely suppressed the opposing SMOOTHIE. His skillful roaming and precise vision control laid a solid foundation for SSG's victory.

Before the match, almost no one would have imagined that the outcome would be decided by a seemingly insignificant support player.

As the match continues, can C9 adjust their tactics and turn the tide? Can SSG capitalize on their momentum and extend their lead? Viewers eagerly await the next match; this esports extravaganza is destined to leave a lasting impression.
In the subsequent match, C9 held an emergency, brief tactical meeting. The players sat together, their faces grave. The coach quickly analyzed the current situation and pointed out that a change in strategy was necessary; they could no longer allow SSG to control the pace of the game.

C9 decided to strengthen their jungle defense to prevent SSG from seizing the opportunity to invade again.

Meanwhile, they plan to launch a strong attack in the bottom lane, attempting to turn the tide and win back a game through the cooperation of the duo lane.

SSG, on the other hand, did not let their guard down despite their previous advantage.

They knew that C9's strength was not to be underestimated and that they could launch a counterattack at any time. Therefore, SSG continued to maintain close teamwork, strengthen control of map resources, and constantly put pressure on C9 through frequent roaming and support.

The match entered a heated phase, with both sides fiercely battling for the dragon pit. This time, C9 learned from their previous experience, making advance vision preparations and preparing for battle. SSG was not to be outdone, also gathering their superior forces to try and secure the dragon, further extending their lead.

As the dragon's health dwindled, the hearts of both players raced faster. The audience's eyes were glued to the dragon pit, the atmosphere thick with tension. Suddenly, C9's jungler seized the opportunity, initiating the attack, and a thrilling team fight erupted.
But today, CJ demonstrated through his performance the importance of a support player to a team.

Just like the old saying in Chinese crosstalk, "three parts comedy, seven parts praise," the support's performance is more crucial than the bot lane AD's. Of course, the AD's performance is more important, after all, they are the main damage dealer in team fights, essentially the selling point, but a good support can maximize the AD's potential.

Every decision he made and every move he made demonstrated a profound understanding of the game situation, showing everyone that an excellent support player can also be a key factor in determining the outcome of a match.

As the game progressed into the mid-game, under CJ's excellent tempo control, Ambition's Olaf gradually gained control of the jungle. (End of Chapter)
