Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 50: Half-health upon first meeting!

The speed at which the comments were scrolling was even more exaggerated than when Li Fan first appeared.

The main reason is that EDG fans still held onto a sliver of hope when they saw Li Fan come on.

What if there's a tactical arrangement?
After all, this is such an important match. If this substitution wasn't made after careful consideration, EDG would have suffered a five-game losing streak if they lost again.

Their current record is simply unacceptable; if they lose, they will really drop from second place to third.

At this rate, he's really going to die!

So you end up picking Lucian for mid lane?

Nobody would believe you if you said it wasn't a fixed match. Isn't this just deliberately throwing the game?

Where exactly is the AP damage in your lineup? Are you relying entirely on Kog'Maw's percentage damage?

The lineup they selected is truly outrageous; this coach is getting more and more outrageous.

The lineup selected at the beginning of the season was passable, but now all I can say is that it's rubbish. I just can't understand it. Since I can't understand it, all I can do is curse in the live stream.

I really can't stop cursing; I simply can't vent the anger and resentment in my heart.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Classic research? Mid-lane Lucian... treating the match like ranked? Interesting.]

[EDG looks rotten to the core. Last year at Worlds, they relied entirely on their Korean duo. This year it's even more outrageous. I estimate they won't even make the playoffs and will have to play in the relegation matches.]

[This Unreal Engine really understands abstract concepts. They knew EDG was hopeless, so they came out and started playing flashy stuff!]

[Republic's Syndra is no pushover, isn't Lucian going to get completely destroyed?]

[Waiting for Lucian to feed completely, EDG to suffer their fifth consecutive loss!]

Go Unreal! This is the first time I've seen Unreal play League of Legends...

[Go for it! I want to see what happens when you actually perform on the field, after all those days of telling everyone you're a professional player in the league.]

Among them are quite a few fans who support Li Fan.

The main reason is that Huya's official team knows how to maximize the buzz, so they simply added a few words before the match announcement.

Unreal makes its appearance...

It immediately attracted a large number of Li Fan fans.

After all, Li Fan was required to go to the scene, so there was no one to stream. Those who were used to Huya Live liked to browse this channel.

Upon seeing this news while browsing, I was naturally excited and clicked into the live stream.

Seeing Li Fan's face in the bottom right corner, a sense of familiarity washed over me.

[Get out, you brainless fans! The atmosphere of professional League of Legends is being ruined by you brainless fans.]

[The dog lover is getting impatient again. It's just a competition, why take it so seriously? Aren't we all just watching for fun?]

Meanwhile, both coaches have come to the center of the stage to shake hands.

The director also panned the camera across the players' seats.

Miller looked at the lineups of both sides on the big screen and began his analysis.

Of course, the main focus is still on Lucian in the mid lane.

Saying anything else is not very meaningful, because this game was clearly decided by the mid lane.

“Mid lane Lucian is indeed very rare. We all know that Lucian is an extremely strong ADC in the early and mid-game. Since he is placed in the mid lane, it should be to pursue the ultimate dominance in the lane.”

"But this also carries great risks. If you don't gain an advantage in the early game, your role in the mid-to-late game will definitely not be as strong as that of a traditional mage."

"And GT's jungler is Rengar!" Wawa pointed out the key point. "Lucian's E skill has a long cooldown in the early game, so going to the mid lane makes him the perfect target for Rengar to eliminate." Everyone agreed with Wawa's statement.

"Alright, let's start the match... Let's see how Lucian performs." Rita looked at Li Fan's handsome face and felt quite a bit of goodwill towards him. There are quite a few oddballs in the esports circle, after all, this is a place where strength speaks, not looks, to compete for a starting position.

Li Fan quickly purchased equipment, and as soon as his Doran's Blade turned red, he emerged from the fountain.

The summoner spells I take are Ignite and Flash.

The main reason is that the opposing team's lineup doesn't have hard crowd control, and I'm not a bot lane ADC. I have enough experience playing mid lane, and of course, I'm also confident in myself.

Scout stared blankly at the big screen backstage, wanting to see the moment the match ended and EDG's base explode.

I want you to know that making the choice to replace yourself was a huge mistake.

Both sides adopted a long, single-file defensive formation.

The factory manager, watching from the lower river, saw Li Fan's Lucian walk straight up, seemingly intending to provoke the enemy. He couldn't help but frown, and was about to say "play it safe," when he saw Lucian use a movement skill to dodge Syndra's Q skill, and then quickly slide forward to poke!
Republic couldn't help but frown slightly.

So fierce?
Lucian's E skill has a level 1 cooldown of 18 seconds. Even with the passive cooldown reduction that cuts it by 4 seconds, it still takes 14 seconds!
Syndra's Q skill has a 4-second cooldown, and this attack has already been halfway through its cooldown.

Without the slightest hesitation, he followed up with a basic attack.

It's foolish for mages and marksmen to constantly attack each other in the late game, but the difference isn't that big in the early game now.

If the subsequent skill damage follows, then you'll be the one who benefits.

Li Fan raised his hand and launched another basic attack, instantly triggering Thunder.

Snapped!
Syndra lost 160 health points from this combo.

The next second, as if knowing what Syndra was going to do, he made a small downward movement, directly dodging the opponent's second Q skill that was off cooldown, and then raised his hand to fire another basic attack.

In just a few seconds of fighting, Syndra, who was at full health, lost more than 200 points of health, which is close to half health.

Seeing that things were not going well, Syndra retreated, but was shot again and her health dropped to half.

Backstage, Abu and Quickstar were stunned for a moment, then looked shocked.

what's the situation?
Has Syndra lost that much health?

Abu jumped up excitedly from his seat the next second.

"That's right, that's right... You were right after all. If you keep losing games and can't figure out why, you should replace the player."

Quickly, Xingmu nodded in surprise.

Holy crap, is Li Fan really that awesome?

At the same time, Miller's shocked voice came from the big screen.

"My god, Unreal's pressure this time is ridiculous! With that much health... I need to use a health potion. It's too late to go back to base now."

Since the minion wave has already appeared, going back would result in a huge loss.

Republic had no choice but to drink both bottles of medicine.

At this moment, I already sensed that something was amiss.

The opponent's operation was smooth and fluid, without any unnecessary movements.

If these are all noobs, then what are I?

After all, they are professional players; they can tell the level of their opponent the moment they go into lane.

Despite the comfortable temperature, large beads of sweat slid down Republic's head.
