After a short break, they entered the second game.
NFG attributed the previous defeat to He Ci’s outstanding performance as Rain, so they banned Rain and the other two marksman heroes right from the start.
He Ci’s heroes could never all be banned, so he chose an all-purpose AD [Xia].
The opponent didn’t ban the support, so Yu Xinche had a wide range of choices in this game. When it was his turn to choose, he asked in the team: “What should we play?”
Coach: “Tide?”
Yu Xinche thought about it and said, “Okay.”
To the audience, his best skill might be Tide. But Yu Xinche felt that the Tide he played in the last game was not impressive enough. Today, he had to play well and let his opponents and the audience see his strength.
He selected it, but it was not locked yet. He Ci asked, “Do you want to play?”
“Hmm?” Yu Xinche thought for a moment and said, “Yes, I want to use this to prove myself today.”
He Ci smiled softly, “Okay, you play C in this round.”
Yu Xinche said with full energy: “Okay! Wait for me to carry.”
Teammates: “Okay.”
Yu Xinche did what he said and performed very well in this game.
Tide’s ultimate had a wide range, so it’s not difficult to hit the enemy, but if you wanted to hit multiple people, you needed to grasp the timing very accurately.
Yu Xinche’s first big move repelled the three people coming to the tower, helping He Ci get a double kill. The second big move hit four people at the dragon pit. With this brief retreat, Xiao Ou steadily pushed the dragon, and then took advantage of the situation to initiate a team fight, winning 2 for 4.
…
In every team fight, Tide’s ultimate was held tightly together and always released at the most critical moment.
Commentator A: “Breeze was very calm. He had the chance to control the bottom lane duo just now, but he held back and didn’t use his ultimate.”
Commentator B: “Yes, it is rare for a new player to be able to restrain his desire to perform. He has been very rational in the three games since his debut. His priority is to win the game, and then to show himself.”
Commentator A: “This is indeed very suitable for TZ at the moment. The other four players can all perform well, so the newcomer just needs to hold his own.”
Before the commentator finished speaking, Yu Xinche entered the opposite highland tower and summoned the tide at a very tricky angle, pushing five enemies in front of him.
【???】
【Can’t stand up to the praise】
He Ci’s Xia followed closely and also activated his ultimate skill, which created a rift on the map, passing through the five people and dealing a lot of damage.
The other three teammates also rushed over without stopping, took over the output, wiped out the opponent in one wave, and pushed down the crystal in one go.
The game ended so quickly that everyone was stunned by the sudden victory.
TZ held the advantage from the beginning to the end, but based on the situation just now, everyone thought that the two sides would have to fight for at least another six or seven minutes before they could win.
No one expected that Breeze, who was described by the commentators as having been stable for three games, would suddenly come up with such a big move.
What was even more unexpected was that such an aggressive attack won.
【???】
【Breeze, tell me the truth, did you suddenly change your character just now?】
【Handsome!】
【Your brother Che: Either don’t play, or play big】
In the livestream, several people had already shaken hands with their opponents and returned to the backstage chatting and laughing.
Today’s MVP selection session took a bit long. The performances of the bottom lane duo were so outstanding that it doesn’t matter which one you give the MVP to.
In the end, the award was given to He Ci, and He Ci and Xiao Ou participated in the post-match interview.
After some routine questions, the host asked about the topic of their new support.
“Today’s bot lane team was in great form, and they had great synergy in their cooperation. I’d like to ask how FIX feels about his new partner?”
He Ci picked up the microphone and said formally and officially: “I feel good. Breeze is a talented and hardworking contestant. He is also smart and has a good personality. He fits in quickly…”
The audience erupted in a chorus of jeers and cheers and he was interrupted by them. After the cheering died down, he continued: “Everyone likes him very much after he came to TZ. I hope our fans can support him more and watch him grow together.”
【……】
【This is the first time I saw him use so many words to praise his teammates】
【What’s up with the last two sentences? I feel like an old father who has endured hardships】
【The young master is on the road to ruining his character and will never return】
【It seems that Xiao Yu has really taken control of him】
Host: “Haha, it seems FIX is very satisfied with the new player!
Then I would like to ask, in the last team fight, there was only you and Breeze in the middle lane, how did you come up with the idea of fighting? How did the team communicate?”
When Xiao Ou heard this question, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He Ci licked his lips and said casually, “Breeze said he wanted to show off some moves to the audience. I felt he could do it, so I let him.”
Xiao Ou took the microphone and added, “There were three opponents who didn’t dodge in that wave. Xiao Che thought he could hit five of them. We were not far away and could provide support, so we told him to try. We can’t discourage the enthusiasm of newcomers.”
【How did Xiao Ou suddenly talk so officially?】
【Is this what it means to grow up? Xiao Ou, you have changed】
【He have to take care of the new brother, this should be it】
【Then why did He Ci become childish in front of this new brother?】
【? This He Ci is not called childish, it’s called interesting!】
After the interview, there was an MVP imitation show by He Ci. He imitated Yu’s expression of wearing sunglasses, which caused another round of exclamations from the audience
Next was the fan handshake event, and this time there were fans of Yu Xinche.
He Ci looked at the several “Breeze” light signs of Yu Xinche in the audience and thought that finally one of these fans had gotten lucky and was chosen to go on stage.
It was a girl with two pigtails and a hairpin on her head. There was the letter “Breeze” decorated between two small fish.
She looked young, but surprisingly courageous. She spoke in an orderly manner and praised all five members of the team. Finally, she looked at Yu Xinche and said with a smile:
“I am a fan of Breeze. Just like what he said just now, we fans will always support you and grow with you. I believe you can become a top support. Come on!”
Yu Xinche held the microphone in both hands, feeling a little nervous.
This was the first time he faced such a true outpouring of affection. The fans’ blessings were sincere and warm. His adam apple moved and he replied to her very seriously, also promising himself: “Thank you, I will try my best not to let you down.”
I will also work hard to become a world-class support.
After that, the fan handshake event ended successfully. The five members of TZ returned to the lounge, packed up and prepared to go back. However, Xu Le was not there. After asking, they found out that he had gone out temporarily after receiving a phone call.
So everyone sat in the lounge and waited for Xu Le to come back.
He Ci sat with Yu Xinche. Yu Xinche leaned on the sofa with his head down, not knowing whether he was tired or in a bad mood.
He Ci bent his finger joints and knocked on the back of his hand as if knocking on the door.
“Is anyone there?”
Yu Xinche glanced at him: “What’s wrong?”
“Are you unhappy because you didn’t get the MVP?”
Yu Xinche was still leaning on the back of the sofa. Hearing the words, he tilted his neck towards him, looked at him for a while with his head tilted, then pursed his lips and blew a bubble unhappily.
“A little bit, but only a little bit. I am very satisfied with my performance today, so it’s not because of this.”
“Then why?”
“Hmm…” Yu Xinche thought about the words in his mind for a while, “I just suddenly realized that there are still a lot of people looking at me, and then I suddenly feel pressured.”
He Ci was a veteran and understood it almost immediately: “Were you touched by that fan?”
“Yeah.” Yu Xinche sat up straight. “Before, I thought I could move forward steadily and catch up with you guys slowly. Now I feel that this progress is too slow and the fans might be disappointed.”
“I don’t think so. People who truly support you can see the hard work behind your achievements and won’t deny you just because you had a mediocre performance.”
“Besides, I think you’ve made great progress.”
Yu Xinche didn’t quite believe it, so he moved closer to confirm, “Really?”
“Really. The first time we met, you were also playing Flower. Today’s Flower have improved a lot.” He Ci paused and looked into Yu Xinche’s eyes, “I can see it.”
He spoke seriously, his eyes were determined. Yu Xinche was stunned, a little uncomfortable with such a He Ci.
Yu Xinche leaned back on the sofa and asked half-jokingly, “Then please tell my fans for me. I have made great progress.”
He Ci smiled and helped him pull down the hem of his team uniform that was accidentally pulled up: “Didn’t I say it in the last game, I am your fan.”
Yu Xinche also laughed. After He Ci’s counselling, he was not so depressed anymore, and his eyes sparkled when he smiled.
At this time, Xu Le came in with a document with a frown on his face.
He first said to the others: “Just wait here for a while, it shouldn’t take too long.”
Then he looked at He Ci and Yu Xinche: “You two come with me to the office on the second floor.”
Bottom lane duo: “???”
They came back very quickly, in no more than ten minutes.
But after they came back, the three of them looked unhappy. Xu Le was still frowning, and He Ci was very unhappy and had a cold face. As for Yu Xinche, he also looked unhappy, but his face was also a little red.
Xiao Ou came up and asked: “What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
He Ci ignored him.
Yu Xinche paused, hesitating and not wanting to say anything: “You will know tomorrow.”
Other teammates: “?”
Why are you still keeping us in suspense?
Fans also noticed something was happening on TZ’s side.
Normally after the game, there would be fans of the team crouching at the back door of the stadium, waiting for the players to pass by here as they leave the field so they can get a close look at them.
As a result, the fans had to wait 20 minutes longer before they saw anyone, and the bottom lane duo looked even more sullen than the other. The fans at the scene took photos and posted them on the forum that day.
【What happened? He Ci looked as if he had lost the game】
【Did the two in the bottom lane quarrel?】
【That’s impossible. He Ci is now being controlled by Xiao Yu, so he shouldn’t be able to quarrel.】
【Baby has such a good temper, he won’t make a fuss】
【Isn’t it a beautiful win today? What happened?】
【I am anxious, I am anxious]
【As an aside, when Baby doesn’t smile, he’s pretty cool】
【Indeed, his eyes are long and narrow, so if he doesn’t smile, he is a bit aggressive】
【So what happened? He Ci’s confession was rejected?】
【??????】
【Not a two-way relationship?】
【??? Please be rational! Stop being crazy. Although I also hope it’s a two-way relationship.】
【Damn, the early bird catches the worm. Go check out the latest official HPL picture. I’m laughing my ass off. Hahahahahaha】
【This wave really went both ways】
【Guide: HPL official penalty announcement】
The morning after the NFG game, the league officially released a video showing the violation.
Violations occurs from time to time, but they were mostly minor things like players forgetting to unplug their mice or not debugging their equipment in advance. It’s human nature, and everyone forgets about it.
But today’s post was different. After seeing it, netizens crazily forwarded the screenshots, and even the ants passing by couldn’t wait to laugh out loud “Hahahaha” in mockery.
The ruling was as follows:
During the BP phase of TZ’s match against NFG yesterday, TZ.Fix and TZ.Breeze frequently turned their heads to look at each other, violating the new HPL season rule [prohibiting looking at teammates and teammates’ screens during the game].
The fine was 100 yuan for each look, and the two people paid a total of 600 yuan in fines yesterday.
They hoped that the two contestants would supervise each other in the future to avoid making the same mistake again.
