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

As the match began, the noisy discussions in the stands gradually subsided.

The audience tilted their heads slightly, their eyes fixed on the large screen above.

Both teams performed adequately in the early stages, engaging in numerous battles and exchanging kills, but their economic advantage remained relatively even.

The game was so close that even the director thought it might drag on into the late game before a decisive victory could be achieved.

But what no one expected was.

During team fights, the Wolves players acted like they were having a seizure.

Fly, knowing that the mid laner was clearing the wave, still chose to engage, which ultimately resulted in a three-for-one trade.

The top three marksmen and their support managed to trade one of the enemy's supports, which was undoubtedly a huge loss.

Fortunately, Xiaopang risked his life to steal the Shadow Lord; otherwise, even if Beijing WB couldn't end the game in one fell swoop, Chongqing Wolves would have lost several defensive towers.

Seeing Wolves' outrageous performance in the locker room, Li Luo clutched his head in frustration and cried out, "What the hell is Fly doing? He's usually so calm, why is he so impulsive today?"

Ye Lan lay lazily on the sofa, in the exact same posture as Ge You.

He immediately saw through Fly's thoughts: "He mistook Little Fatty for me."

"Treated you?"

"That's right. I also noticed this problem during the previous matches. Their playing style became much more aggressive, and they seemed impulsive and irrational. In reality, they all knew very well that they wanted me to cover for them and clean up their messes."

In the previous match, Li Luo was so overwhelmed by the joy of victory that he didn't pay attention to the details of the laning phase, and he didn't even review the replay.

Looking back now, I realize that there were problems among the team members.

It's too late to know now.

Because of Fly's overconfidence, the originally even situation shifted, and after a team fight, Beijing WB had a lead of about 2,000 gold.

This economic advantage might not be noticeable in a typical game.

However, this economic advantage is very obvious in professional competitions.

Economic superiority leads to equipment dominance; in other words, it means that the damage dealers have higher output and the tanks are more durable.

Despite having the advantage, Beijing WB didn't get carried away and instead won the first game through skillful maneuvering!

The score is now 1-0.

"My bad, this is my fault. If I hadn't gotten carried away in that play, we wouldn't have lost."

After losing the game, Fly immediately apologized to his teammates and expressed his remorse.

Little Fatty patted the other person's shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, winning and losing are common, there's no need to take it to heart."

Fly nodded, and the group headed towards the rest room to prepare for the second round of the competition.

Wolves' loss also drew criticism from the fans in attendance.

"I told you Little Fatty wouldn't do. It has to be Ye Lan. Without Ye Lan, the Wolves aren't even a second-rate team. I suggest they sit at the same table as JXG!"

"Dude, you should just donate your eyes if you don't need them anymore, okay? The Wolves lost the game just now, it wasn't Little Fatty's fault at all."

"Exactly! If it weren't for Little Fatty risking his life to steal the Shadow Lord, the Wolves would have lost long ago. How could they have dragged this out until now?"

"What's the point of stalling for time? If it were Ye Lan, she would have already won 3-0. Why would she have waited until now?"

"If I had known Ye Lan was sick and couldn't participate in this competition, I should have sold tickets to scalpers. I'm speechless."

.........

Although losing the game wasn't Xiaopang's fault, he still faced criticism from viewers and fans because he and Ye Lan were both junglers.

It wasn't that Little Fatty didn't play well enough, but rather that Ye Lan played exceptionally well.

So good that he could dominate the game by himself!

Li Luo sighed in the lounge, "I can't even imagine what kind of cyberbullying Little Fatty will suffer if the Wolves don't win the championship this time!"

Ye Lan arched her chin, making an abstract expression. "These are things we all have to go through."

The door to the lounge opened at that moment, and Ye Lan smiled and waved to the Wolf Team members.

Yao Dao pointed at Ye Lan in surprise, "Weren't you suffering from a bad cold? You're better so quickly?"

Li Luo explained from the side, "He's faking illness."

"Why are you faking illness?"

A big question mark appeared above the heads of the Wolves members.

Li Luo patiently explained, and the more they listened, the more silent everyone became. Apart from eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, they did nothing but train and play games every day, and had never thought about these things at all.

Ye Lan not only considered it, but she did so in a very comprehensive way, even to the point of being meticulous.

This is the fundamental reason why Ye Lan can start her own business and run a company, while they can only play games and become professional players.

The ability to think flexibly determines a person's potential.

While everyone was chatting, most of the halftime break had already passed.

Xiang Yu suddenly raised her hand and asked, "I have a question. If we lose the next round too, will Ye Lan replace Xiao Pang?"

Ye Lan rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? I already said I had a bad cold. If I went to the match, wouldn't that be blatantly deceiving the fans?"

"Besides, if I really went there and helped you win the Spring Split championship, wouldn't that put Little Fatty in the spotlight?"

While Ye Lan could certainly pull off a comeback from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2, it would undoubtedly shatter Xiao Pang's image in the eyes of his fans.

Because most viewers don't care what you do during the game.

They only care about the result!

If that were to happen, in the eyes of the audience, it would be that Little Fatty lost the first two games, and then the Wolves team relied on Ye Lan to win three games, successfully securing the victory and taking the championship.

In this way, Wolves will have no place for Fatty.

Therefore, even if we lose, we cannot let Ye Lan take over the game.

"Are you going to just stand by and watch your former teammates get sidelined, or do you want the Spring Split championship more? If you've thought it through, let me know."

Inside the lounge, the Wolves members were unusually silent. These young people, who were about the same age as Ye Lan, seemed a little overwhelmed.

Ye Lan's words contained a wealth of information.

This is a level they never even considered!

Knock, knock, knock. The staff knocked on the door and reminded us, "There are five minutes left in halftime. Hurry up and don't miss the game."

"Understood," Fly, the team leader, replied.

Then everyone walked silently toward the match venue. During this time, the other members of the Wolves team would occasionally glance at Little Fatty.

The five had fought side by side for a long time and had already formed a deep bond of friendship.

They would never abandon their brothers for the sake of a championship.

Even if they lose today, it must be all five of them losing together.

If all else fails, deliberately act outrageously to attract the attention of the audience and fans, leaving them no time to pay attention to Little Fatty.

But Little Fatty is actually under more pressure than anyone else.

He knew clearly that if he didn't handle things well, he might have to leave the stage he loved forever.

However, he didn't want his teammates to keep him here in this way!

Little Fatty slowly spoke up, "Brothers, cheer up! I don't think we're going to lose!"
