Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 70 Top Archer and Ace Mage 9
Ji Han and his team wanted to play defensively and develop their strength, but the opposing team didn't want to give them that time at all. The opposing mid laner, who had reached level four earlier than Ji Han, quickly moved to the bottom lane after clearing the minions and securing the mid lane priority. He first scouted the bushes on both sides of the bottom lane river and, finding no one there, went directly to the bushes closer to the Red Sea team's defensive structure to ambush.
Shi Shaoyu and Zhang Yang initially saw the enemy mage coming to the bottom lane, but they thought that even if the enemy was hiding in the bushes, they would be hiding in the bushes near their defensive buildings. Who knew that the enemy would not play by the rules. When they peeked out a little to farm minions, the enemy mage suddenly jumped out from behind them.
With a spell control, the mage's own damage combined with the output and control of the enemy marksman and support, the three of them didn't give Shi Shaoyu and Zhang Yang any time to react. They were wiped out and sent back to the fountain.
The death of their level 4 marksman and support was a significant loss for the Red Sea team. Their formation relies heavily on farming and gold, and this loss of the marksman and support meant they lost at least a wave of minions. The enemy team also pushed down the first defensive building in the bottom lane and took several small jungle camps from the jungler in the bottom half of the map.
Moreover, ever since Shi Shaoyu and Zhang Yang died once, the opposing team seemed to have found a gap in their formation and kept gathering to ambush and harass the bottom lane. Although Shi Shaoyu and his team played cautiously enough and were not double-killed again, their economic losses were even greater.
If this continues, once the enemy's equipment becomes sufficiently resilient, they might simply ignore the building's attacks and relentlessly try to eliminate the Red Sea team members hiding behind it.
In order to ensure Shi Shaoyu's development, Ji Han decisively gave up various resources in the mid lane and worked with Zhang Yang to protect Shi Shaoyu. Of course, the resources he gave up in the mid lane were not wasted and were all given to the jungler Xiao Feng.
Everything was going smoothly, and Shi Shaoyu's damage was gradually increasing. In team fights, he could even take down a squishy assassin with just two shots.
However, Xiao Feng accidentally revealed his position while stealing jungle monsters, and was immediately surrounded by the five opponents. But that wasn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that when Ma Yunfei saw Xiao Feng being surrounded, he instinctively took a step forward to try to rescue him, and just like that, Ma Yunfei was also taken down by the opponents.
Of the remaining three, only Shi Shaoyu has decent economy. Ji Han and Zhang Yang can only provide crowd control, and their damage output is negligible. At least, it would be difficult for the two of them to take down any of the opponents with their own damage.
So the three of them could only watch helplessly as the five people opposite them pushed down one building after another, until only the one in front of the fountain remained.
At this point in the game, it was very difficult to turn the tide, and no miracles occurred. Ji Han and his team lost the first game of the finals.
The match was won by the opponent with an overwhelming advantage, and the fans below were very unable to accept it. Before Ji Han and his team even left the field, the trending topics about this match began to rise wildly online.
As the team's deputy commander, Ji Han stepped forward to calm everyone down when the main commander was in a bad mood.
The format of the finals is different from the previous matches. It adopts a best-of-seven format. In fact, losing one match does not mean anything. Moreover, they deliberately chose the lineup to test the strength of their opponents.
Even if Ji Han didn't reassure them, everyone would be able to adjust their mindset quickly. After all, Zhang Yang, Xiao Feng, and Ma Yunfei are all veterans who have experienced countless matches in the Red Sea team, while Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, although newcomers, have a mentality that is even more mature than the veterans.
Less than ten minutes later, the next match was about to begin. Fortunately, the lineup that Ji Han and his team chose this time was much more normal. They not only chose the mage assassin that Ji Han was good at, but also the warrior that Ma Yunfei was good at. As for the remaining three people, they just needed to cooperate with the two of them to choose their respective roles.
Once the Red Sea team got serious, they were temporarily unbeatable. After losing the first game, they won three games in a row. However, during the fifth game, Zhang Yang suddenly started having stomach pains that were unbearable. He couldn't even stand up, let alone play in the game.
With no other option, the team manager had to temporarily halt the match and call 120 (emergency services). The ambulance arrived quickly, and within ten minutes Zhang Yang was carried onto the ambulance on a stretcher and taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although he was not there, the match still had to continue.
Fortunately, the Red Sea team brought a substitute player for this competition as a precaution. Unfortunately, this substitute player specializes in playing mages and doesn't know how to play support.
There was no other way, so the team had to make a temporary adjustment, letting Ji Han play support and be the main commander, while the substitute player went on stage to play mage.
Ji Han had no objection to playing support, but the main commander had even less of an opinion. He was just worried that the newcomer would be solo-killed by the enemy mage or get completely crushed by the enemy team after coming on, since it was clear from the previous few games that the enemy mid laner was quite skilled.
The match pause ended, and Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu abandoned the bottom lane minions, rushing straight to the mid lane. However, by the time they arrived, our mage had already been solo-killed...
Fortunately, they arrived not too late. With a combination of control and damage, they took down the enemy mage and also cleared a wave of minions in the mid lane. Although Shi Shaoyu's development was not slowed down, the mage was visibly rendered useless.
Ji Han comforted him directly online via microphone.
"Ah Zhao, don't be nervous, it's okay. We had a huge advantage earlier, so winning or losing this game isn't important. You just need to get a feel for the game."
"Ah Zhao, from now on, you should mainly play defensively and develop your strength. If you don't know the enemy's movements, don't go out to clear minions. Even if the enemy brings their minions to your defensive buildings, you can just give up. The main thing is to ensure your own survival first."
"Ah Zhao, can you do it?"
"Yes...yes, Brother Han!"
"Ah Zhao, have confidence in yourself. You are the only substitute on our championship team!"
"Yes! Brother Han! I can definitely do it!"
Seeing that the substitute players' mentality had stabilized a lot, Ji Han decisively asked Shi Shaoyu and Xiao Feng to watch the minion wave in the middle lane. As soon as there was a minion wave, the two of them would come over immediately to "assist" in clearing it. This was mainly to prevent too many minions from being sent over, which would cause the enemy to push down the defensive buildings in the middle lane too quickly.
Once the defensive structure at the front of the middle lane is pushed down, Ji Han and his team will soon lose vision of the middle river, and even their jungle will soon be completely invaded. This series of chain reactions will undoubtedly make matters worse for their team.
Therefore, Ji Han was willing to sacrifice the development opportunity of the mid-lane mage in order to protect that defensive building first.
The only good thing right now is that Ji Han is doing a very good job as both a support and a commander, or even better than Zhang Yang. This is mainly because in the real world, Ji Han has actually played this game, and he even used a female character specifically for playing support...
Another point is the communication between Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu. The two have experienced two worlds together, and this is the third world. Their understanding of each other is much better than that of Shi Shaoyu and Zhang Yang, even if they are not telepathically connected. In many cases, Ji Han doesn't even need to give instructions, and Shi Shaoyu already knows what he is going to do next.
The better the Red Sea team performed, the more nervous the opposing rookie team became. They had already taken down one team's commander, so how could the Red Sea team still be playing so well? This wasn't right! The script wasn't going to go this way! Shouldn't they be crushing their opponents and winning decisively?
The more confused the opposing team is, the more chaotic their play becomes. In the previous few rounds, they could still hold their own against the Red Sea team, but now that the Red Sea team has made a roster change, they can't even maintain a 3-7 record.
This made the fans and team members who initially suspected that the rookie team had done something to Zhang Yang start to reconsider whether they were wrong, otherwise the other party shouldn't have acted this way. Or did they really do something wrong and were feeling guilty?
Regardless, the Red Sea team emerged victorious after several twists and turns, and Ji Han and his team once again stood on the podium, with golden sunlight showering down upon them once more.
Everyone hurriedly accepted their awards and gave their acceptance speeches. Then, they were rushed to the hospital in the team's car. Zhang Yang had already left the emergency room, but he was still under anesthesia and not fully conscious.
According to feedback from the hospital, Zhang Yang ingested a large amount of toxic substances through his mouth and nose, which caused his severe abdominal pain and even threatened his life. Moreover, the toxins take effect very quickly, probably within ten minutes of being ingested.
After learning the reason why Zhang Yang needed emergency treatment, the team manager immediately called the police. Coincidentally, when Ji Han and his team were on their way to the hospital, they happened to run into a police vehicle leaving the competition venue.
After seeing Zhang Yang, the company arranged for an assistant from the operations department to take care of him temporarily. She could return to the club after his parents arrived.
What Ji Han regrets most about the whole incident is that Zhang Yang's body suffered some irreversible damage due to the poison. Therefore, there is a high probability that he will be replaced by the club next season. As for whether he will become a coach or a game streamer, that will have to be negotiated between the club and him separately.
Moreover, before Zhang Yang was even discharged from the hospital, another major competition was coming up. This time it was the World Championship Cup. Previously, whether it was the Spring or Autumn Season, it was our national teams playing against each other, but this time they were fighting for their country.
Because Zhang Yang is unable to participate in the competition for a short period of time, the club can only select another support player to replace him. Fortunately, the Red Sea team is an old team with abundant resources. After receiving the news of the competition, the team manager immediately held a competition and assessment within the team. The player who wins will be promoted to the Red Sea team's starting lineup.
Bringing in new players at this time would definitely lead to a lot of instability, and it would also take time for the new players and veteran players to gel together. However, the Red Sea team had no choice, since it wasn't the transfer window yet, and they couldn't even buy an experienced support player if they wanted to.
With Zhang Yang unable to participate in the battle due to illness, Ji Han became the core of the entire team. The increased burden on his shoulders kept Ji Han extremely busy. Under such circumstances, Ji Han had no time to think about romance. Every day when he returned to the dormitory, he didn't even want to wash up. After finally finishing, he would lie down on the bed and fall asleep instantly!
Shi Shaoyu wanted to do something to strengthen the bond between the two, but with the sudden arrival of the competition and the addition of new players, getting along well was a big problem, and the increased training volume left him with no time to think about anything else.
This year's World Championship Cup uses a separate elimination mechanism, meaning that the sixteen domestic teams will first compete in a round of sixteen to eight, while the international teams will compete in a round of thirty-six to eight.
The sixteen teams that were finally selected will be drawn into pairs, and their opponents will be re-selected to compete in the round of sixteen to eight, eight to four, and four to two to determine the champion and runner-up!
In the round of 16, the Red Sea team drew a team that was ranked relatively low in the regular rankings. As a result, their round of 16 went very smoothly, and even the addition of a new support player did not have a significant impact on their performance.
As the game progressed to the quarterfinals, the new support player's strengths and weaknesses became increasingly apparent. His advantage was that the opposing team was still unsure of his strength and character pool, which gave Ji Han and his team more room to maneuver.
The disadvantage is a lack of experience. Sometimes they don't step up when they should, and sometimes one of them rushes in when they shouldn't. This makes it easy for the opponent to seize on this mistake and launch a precise attack.
Without enough time for training, Ji Han could only refine his command to reduce the probability of his support making mistakes. He and the coaching team even arranged more lineups with a higher margin for error. However, since only the heavens, the earth, you, and I knew the lineups, the probability of actually getting a set of heroes was still very low.
As the competition progressed, the opponents became stronger, making it increasingly difficult for Ji Han and his team to compete. Ultimately, in the semifinals, Ji Han and his team narrowly lost to their old rivals, the Blue Star team, who had regrouped and were gaining momentum.
Fortunately, they weren't eliminated immediately. After overcoming numerous challenges in the loser's bracket, they still had a chance to stand on the final stage and participate in the grand final.
On the same day they entered the loser's bracket, Ji Han and his team received news that they had lost the case of Zhang Yang's poisoning. It was obvious who was behind this case.
However, the other party seems to know very well the location and range of the surveillance cameras backstage at the competition venue. Ji Han and his team do not have substantial evidence of their accusations, making it difficult for them to win the case.
