King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 333: Luna is chosen again!

When Dehua saw this, he was overjoyed.

Sure enough, playing duo queue with Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao, this perfect couple, is the best live stream highlight.

They don't even need to create their own entertainment value anymore.

The moment he sits there, he creates perfect entertainment value.

The three of them took out their phones, logged into their accounts, and entered the game.

Since three people can't play in the peak tournament, they can only choose to play in a three-player queue.

Fortunately, the players' skill levels were similar, so Ye Lan immediately added the two of them to the room after creating it.

Upon entering the room, the couple's icon for Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao's accounts immediately appeared.

The rosy hearts seem to overflow the screen.

This scene made Dehua grimace and gasp for breath.

The audience and fans burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"Brother Hua, I told you a long time ago not to play games with your partner, but you didn't listen, and now you're hurt."

"Do you know how much damage that couple effect just now did to an old single guy like me?"

"I understand, brother, I understand."

"You can figure it out yourself, I have to go cook for my wife."

"cnmd!"

.........

Dehua inwardly groaned, feeling utterly uncomfortable being caught in the middle as a third wheel. He turned to Ye Lan and said:

"Hey bro, what do you think of me?"

Ye Lan was taken aback, wondering what Dehua was up to.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Dehua laughed angrily: "Of course it's the truth."

"You're bad at it, and you're stubborn too." Ye Lan said with a serious expression.

This remark amused netizens, who flooded the screen with comments like, "Brother Ye, why are you speaking such blunt truths?"

Dehua gave him a speechless look: "Who asked you to comment on my game? I was talking about your feelings towards me."

Ye Lan blinked, glanced at Lin Xueyao beside her, then turned to Dehua, puzzled, and said, "I have no feelings for you!"

The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

Dehua was so angry that his face turned red. "I wanted to ask if you could bind us as friends."

Ye Lan suddenly realized and scolded, "You could have just said so earlier, why all this roundabout stuff?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't agree if I hadn't said so earlier," Dehua said, looking aggrieved.

"It's okay, I won't agree even if you just say so," Ye Lan said deliberately for the sake of the show.

Although he didn't know why Dehua wanted this friendship, he still gave him a brotherly badge.

After successfully establishing the relationship, Dehua's face showed a satisfied smile.

"In that case, it makes perfect sense for the three of us to be ranked together."

Ye Lan twitched the corner of her mouth. "Brother Hua, don't you think this is like admitting guilt?"

"When you enter the game, everyone can see that Lin Xueyao and I have a couple icon, while you have a brother icon. You're definitely a third wheel!"

Upon hearing this, Dehua immediately realized what was happening.

It seems so.

Without any signage, everyone's attention will be focused on the couple.

Once a relationship is established, everyone's attention will be focused on the person other than the couple.

I want to see who has such a thick skin, willingly becoming a third wheel.

Dehua was too lazy to sever ties, and could only say that was that.

Once everyone was ready, Ye Lan clicked the start matching button.

Ranked matches are not like the peak tournament; they basically open as soon as the pool is full. As for the phrase "We are looking for equally matched opponents for you," that's a joke.

A winning streak is followed by a losing streak, and a losing streak is followed by a winning streak.

It's a curse that almost every player can't escape.

Fortunately, Honor of Kings provides rank protection cards and points, so even if your win rate is only 50%, you can still climb the ranks by playing more matches.

Dehua's ability to reach the Glory King rank is largely due to this.

After all, given his tendency to get completely outmatched in every game, reaching the King rank is already his limit.

After the three entered the ban/pick phase, they worked with their teammates to ban a few particularly annoying support champions.

Compared to the strong heroes in the current version, it seems that the support hero's position in the ban list is more difficult to shake.

Especially for characters like Donghuang Taiyi and Taiyi Zhenren, regardless of whether it's a high-score or low-score game, everyone has only one thought.

Ban it first.

On the contrary, strong, rhythm-based jungle carries like Jing, Lan, and Hu are ignored.

This situation is actually quite normal; it's simply a matter of comparing mechanisms and numerical values.

While heroes like Jing, Lan, and Hu are undoubtedly powerful, they require a certain level of skill to unleash their explosive damage output.

In contrast, Donghuang Taiyi and Taiyi Zhenren are not as particular.

Even if you don't know how to play, just flash in and catch the enemy's main carry to absorb their damage.

A two-second control period is enough to accomplish the feat of switching the carry position with the support.

As for Taiyi Zhenren, he can just follow heroes like Ma Chao and Sun Shangxiang around, stay close by, and use his ultimate when things get tough.

The mechanics of this support hero are already outrageous; if they also possess skillful maneuvers, it's hard to imagine what kind of monster they would be.

Simply put, those heroes require skill to play effectively.

Even those who don't know how to play can still exert considerable deterrent power.

So there's a reason why they've been able to stay in the ban list for so long.

After the ban phase ended, Ye Lan immediately pre-selected Luna.

Luna, one of Ye Lan's signature heroes, still draws cheers from the audience when she is brought out now, even though she hasn't used her for a long time.

"My youth is back! Brother Ye is playing Luna again."

"If it weren't for the selection today, I would have almost forgotten that Luna is Brother Ye's specialty."

"We'll be able to see Luna flying around in the air again."

.........

The viewers in the live stream were filled with anticipation.

It's been almost half a year since Ye Lan last streamed herself playing Luna, and that memory has almost faded from everyone's minds.

Now that it's suddenly being brought up again, it's hard not to feel a sense of revisiting an old haunt.

Lin Xueyao, as usual, chose Yao Mei to assist Ye Lan. She really enjoyed playing Yao Mei and the feeling of flying around Luna's head.

It gives you a feeling of freedom and unrestraint.

To prove himself, Dehua once again chose his famous hero, Lü Bu.

He then made boastful remarks to the camera, saying, "I wasn't in good form last time I played in the peak competition, but this time I'm well-fed and clothed, and I guarantee I can beat them."

Ye Lan kindly reminded him, "Brother Hua, don't speak too confidently, or you might regret it!"

Dehua scoffed, "If I can't beat those 1800-point level players in the peak competition, how can I not beat these?"

"You don't need to come to the top lane, just wait for my good news."

Seeing Dehua's confidence, Ye Lan took it seriously.

A short while later, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue Square:

Confrontation Lane: Dehua Lu Bu

Jungler: Ye Lan Luna

Mid Lane: Xiao Qiao

Development Lane: Sun Shangxiang
