The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

With Han Cheng thinking this through, TL team successfully lost...

"Oh no, we lost! The other side looked so tough!" Sun Wukong walked down.

"It's all your fault, playing with that fragile monkey, just feeding it all the time..." the fat man said disdainfully.

"Hey... why does it sound like the loss is all my fault?" Sun Wukong retorted.

"Isn't that right?" the fat man said.

"STP!" Sima Yi gestured. "In the next game, Coach Qin will play in place of Fatty, and Xiao Gu will play top lane in place of Monkey. The rest of the players will remain the same."

"Huh? Fine, I'll leave the stage then. I never thought my status in Brother Ma's heart was not as high as Xiao Gu's..." Sun Hou looked disappointed.

"No, no, strength, strength..." Sima Yi said.

"You were never as good as Xiao Gu anyway," the fat man added insult to injury.

"Alright, I'm going to play games and train!" Sun Wukong said resolutely, making everyone look at his departing figure as if he were a monster.

"Ahem, Brother Ma, how about I go down to the field too, and you take my position!" Xu Xiaomeng said.

"No need, no need. You played very well in the mid lane, and your teamwork with Xiao Chengzi is much better than mine and his. Have you ever heard a poem?" Sima Yi said with a wicked smile.

"What poem?" Xu Xiaomeng asked, puzzled.

"Though we lack the wings of a phoenix to fly together, our hearts are connected by a single thread of understanding." Sima Yi said calmly, with an air of nonchalance, like a wise man who had seen through the vanities of the world.

"Ahem, what are you saying, Brother Ma? Let's continue the competition then," Xu Xiaomeng said with a charming laugh.

"Haha, keep it up!" Sima Yi said.

So the second game began, with TL team picking BN first.

"Brother Li, what are we doing?" Han Cheng asked.

"Ahem, actually I don't know which hero to ban, since we don't really know their best heroes," Qin Li said. "Let's ban Mozi, which they played pretty well in the last game!"

"Good, that was a brilliant ban!" Han Cheng said. Gu Haifeng also quickly banned Mozi. Mozi is an unpopular hero, and he has hardly ever been banned. Although this hero is powerful, if you pick him rashly, you may not achieve the desired effect. However, he is strong enough. In the last game, the Jingtao team happened to have the ability to play Mozi well, so this ban was reasonable.

"Huh, they actually beat Mozi? Interesting..." Sima Yi muttered to himself while watching the battle. At the same time, another long-haired man watching the battle said the same thing.

"Brother Ma, look, they actually banned Mozi, such an unpopular hero. Isn't that a mistake?" Sun Wukong asked.

"No, no, no, this BN strategy is pretty good. Mozi has so many openings, his damage isn't low, and he's quite tanky. The opponent is playing so well too, so we should target him a bit," Sima Yi said.

"Tsk tsk, alright." Sun Hou and Fatty both nodded silently, while Song Ziyi stared at Ye Bing's fifth floor with great interest, wanting to see which hero Ye Bing wanted to play.

"I wonder which hero this guy will choose. It's a pity he's playing support. I wonder what it would be like if he played a damage dealer and dominated the battlefield?" Song Ziyi thought to herself.

Finally, it was Ye Bing's turn to choose a team composition. Ye Bing chose Zhong Kui, which didn't surprise Song Ziyi too much. Zhong Kui, if used well, is also an excellent support. He can hook the enemy and make them suffer, while your own damage dealers will secretly be happy. After all, getting kills is something to be happy about.

Finally, the lineups for both teams were finalized: TL's top laner Zhao Yun with Execute (well, that's changed from "Annihilation" to "Execute" again, but it seems cooler now?), mid laner Diao Chan with Purify, jungler Liu Bang with Smite, bottom laner Huang Zhong with Swiftness, and roaming Zhong Kui with Heal. Aside from Han Cheng's choice of Liu Bang as a jungler, no one was too surprised. Liu Bang as a jungler? Uh, never seen that before…

The lineup for Team Jingtao consisted of Xiahou Dun with Execute in the top lane, Xiao Qiao with Swiftness in the mid lane, Luna with Smite in the jungle, Sun Shangxiang with Purify in the bottom lane, and Guan Yu with Execute for roaming. Well, they just got two banned heroes... Guan Yu and Luna... They banned Li Bai, who is frequently banned in high-level games. Han Cheng picked Li Bai in the last game, but it didn't achieve the desired effect...

"Why is Liu Bang the jungler?" Song Ziyi asked in surprise. "And the enemy team has such strong heroes like Guan Yu and Luna, why didn't they pick more heroes with crowd control? Didn't they still lose?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Little Orange just likes to mess around, let him be. As for the opposing team's lineup, I believe that with Night Ice's Zhong Kui, their Guan Yu and Luna won't be able to get away with anything..." Sima Yi said confidently with a sneer.

At the start of the game, the TL team grouped up to clear the jungle, playing steadily and cautiously, never taking unnecessary risks, clearing the jungle in a rhythmic and methodical manner, and then clearing minions on the lanes.

Since Liu Bang wasn't very fast at clearing jungle monsters, Gu Haifeng had Zhao Yun reluctantly help clear some of them...

After clearing the jungle, Zhao Yun headed to the top lane to maintain a stable laning phase. Although Xiahou Dun was strong in lane, Zhao Yun was not weak either. Moreover, Zhao Yun's mobility allowed him to dodge Xiahou Dun's first skill damage. Therefore, Xiahou Dun had very few means of dealing damage when facing Gu Haifeng's agile evasion.

"Xiaofeng, you played well," Han Cheng couldn't help but praise.

"No, no, it's just so-so..." Gu Haifeng smiled sheepishly.

"frst-bld!" Han Cheng glanced at the bottom lane, where Zhong Kui hooked the enemy Sun Shangxiang with a divine hook. Sun Shangxiang had just used her mobility skill and was hiding behind the minions, but she didn't expect Zhong Kui's hook to be so tricky...

Before Sun Shangxiang could react, she stepped on Huang Zhong's landmine, which broke her armor and slowed her down. Moreover, she was currently under a turret...

This led to Huang Zhong's first blood.

Han Cheng couldn't help but think that Ye Bing and Qin Li's teamwork was indeed excellent. One of them was a support and the other was a marksman, which allowed them to maximize the advantages of their teamwork.

"This... he got first blood so quickly? I didn't see Ye Bing being this fierce in the last game!" Song Ziyi exclaimed.

"Haha, in the last round we knew our chances of winning were slim, so we deliberately lost to make the other side think we were weak, thus making them think we were bound to lose and causing them to become complacent..." Sun Wukong laughed.

Song Ziyi glanced at Sun Wukong: "Since ancient times, deep affection has been fleeting..."

"Only tricks win people's hearts!" Fatty, Sun Wukong, and Sima Yi said in unison.
