Chapter 48 - Chapter 161: Truth

The pace of "Clone Wars" was much faster than the usual 5v5 tower-pushing game. After all, it was an entertainment match, and most players playing this mode didn't care about winning or losing. Professional players, however, actually had very limited understanding of entertainment modes. People like Zhao Xinping and Zhao Xin'an had never even touched these modes before.

Therefore, their experience from the professional league didn't necessarily apply here.

For instance, the spawn times for the Elemental Dragons and the Grand Dragon in the professional league were completely different from those in Clone Mode. Minion wave spawn rates also differed. After Zhao Xin'an died once and returned to his lane, he found that the opposing Top Laner was actually a full level higher than him. His brain went a bit fuzzy—A whole level up in such a short time? Is this scientific?

Before he could react, an exclamation mark appeared above his head signaling "Stealth Hero Nearby."

Zhao Xin'an instinctively flashed to retreat, but he was helpless. Fang Zhengqing had come to support the Top Lane, and with two [Stealth Rogues] going invisible for a sneak attack, his squishy [Illusionist] couldn't fight back at all and forfeited his life.

Zhao Xin'an couldn't help but complain: " The opposing Mid Laner is targeting me! Jungler? Jungler Daddy, please help Top Lane!"

He quickly adjusted his camera to find his own Jungler's position. After searching for a long time, he discovered… his Jungler was currently entangled with the enemy Jungler in the jungle, completely ignoring the Top Laner getting killed.

Zhao Xin'an reminded him: "Xiao Bai, stop 1v1ing your Captain Chi! Help Top!"

Ye Shaoyang said, "I don't want to 1v1 him either; he's chasing me."

Xie Weiyu stifled a laugh and testified, "Captain Chi is indeed chasing Yangyang and beating him up, frantically counter-jungling. If Yangyang doesn't defend, our jungle will collapse."

Chen Qianhua said calmly, "It's okay, Xiao Zhao. You might have collapsed Top, but we've gained an advantage in the Bot Lane."

Fang Zhengqing supported Top, but Xie Yuan supported Bot.

Thus, it was Blue Team 2v1 Top, and Red Team 3v2 Bot. Although the two [Stealth Rogues] in the Bot Lane could turn invisible, stealth had a time limit; they couldn't stay invisible forever. Chen Qianhua was a Support with strong calculation abilities; he would always catch the moment the enemy Rogues' stealth ended and summon the Mid Laner for support.

An Illusionist could insta-kill someone with a full combo. With two Illusionists, Xie Yuan and Xie Weiyu, dropping two sets of combos, the two opposing Rogues were either dead or crippled. Moreover, Chen Qianhua was also playing an Illusionist and could follow up with crowd control and damage.

The result was that by the 10-minute mark, Zhao Xin'an had been crushed in the Top Lane. In the Bot Lane, A'Yan and Liu Luo, the two Rogues, were also crushed. The outer towers for both Top and Bot lanes were destroyed.

And the Junglers?

The Junglers were still 1v1ing next to the jungle as if no one else existed. The original 5v5 Clone entertainment match had turned into a "fractured game" where Top and Bot fought their own battles, while the Junglers on both sides fought for resources 1v1.

Yao Mu looked at the game screen and wondered, "Fighting their own battles? They don't have unified shot-calling?"

Brother Dong joked, "After all, if the Blue Team had unified shot-calling for a Mid-Jungle synergy, given the tacit understanding between Chi Shuo and Captain Fang, they could easily lead their teammates to ruin."

Yao Mu agreed. "That makes sense. It's safer for everyone to play their own game."

After all, the embarrassing incident of the Chi Shuo and Fang Zhengqing Mid-Jungle synergy crashing and burning had once been trended by netizens.

At the start of the game fighting for the River Crab, Fang Zhengqing had acted as an "undercover agent," handing the crab Chi Shuo was determined to get over to the enemy Jungler. So, the Blue Team really shouldn't team fight; once they did, it was easy for these two to lead the team to a wipe.

As for the Red Team, Ye Shaoyang was originally commanding. But this round, Ye Shaoyang was being targeted by Chi Shuo, so he had to focus on his own jungle first. As for his teammates? No time to manage them; let them sink or swim. He believed the great gods could take care of themselves.

At 13 minutes, the Red Team's Top Lane was pushed to the high ground; the Blue Team's Bot Lane was pushed to the high ground.

The towers in the Mid Lane were safe and sound because Fang Zhengqing and Xie Yuan often ran to other lanes to support and weren't in a rush to push Mid. Ye Shaoyang glanced at the situation and said, "Let's group up and push Mid."

The teammates quickly gathered in the Mid Lane.

However, no Blue Team players could be seen on the map.

Chen Qianhua warned, "Careful, they've all gone invisible."

With five [Stealth Rogues] on the opposite side going invisible simultaneously, the map became empty, as if only the five Red Team members were fighting. Ye Shaoyang said, "Don't stand together. Split up and ambush."

The Red Team's five Illusionists split up and hid in the bushes.

Viewers with the "God's Eye" perspective could see that the Blue Team's five Rogues were hiding in the bushes on the left side of the river, while the Red Team's five Illusionists were hiding separately in the bushes on the right side. The two sides looked at each other from across the river, watching two waves of minions throwing bricks at each other in the Mid Lane.

Yao Mu was caught between laughter and tears. "You ambush me, I ambush you? Who's going to lose patience first?"

A moment later, Chi Shuo sensed something was wrong and whispered, "I know where he's hiding. I'll go deal with Yangyang; you guys handle the rest."

Almost simultaneously, Ye Shaoyang said, "I know where he's hiding! I'm going to find Chi Shuo; you guys handle the rest. Insta-kill whoever you see."

So, Chi Shuo flanked from the bottom half, intending to go to the left side of the river to insta-kill Ye Shaoyang; meanwhile, Ye Shaoyang flanked from the top half, intending to go to the right side of the river to find Chi Shuo's position.

The two of them passed each other just like that.

[Hahaha, tacit understanding in missing each other?]

[This play is basically "I anticipated your anticipation."]

[These two are too funny. Tacitly ambushing, tacitly flanking, and tacitly missing each other.]

Ye Shaoyang searched for a long time but didn't find Chi Shuo.

When Chi Shuo arrived, Ye Shaoyang wasn't there either.

However, a bunch of kill notifications popped up on the screen.

First, Zhao Xinping and Fang Zhengqing teamed up to kill Zhao Xin'an; immediately after, Xie Weiyu and Chen Qianhua worked together to kill A'Yan; Fang Zhengqing turned around and insta-killed Xie Weiyu, and Xie Yuan then insta-killed Fang Zhengqing…

Both sides had four people trading kills, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was dead on the floor.

Only Chi Shuo was left on the Blue side, and only Ye Shaoyang remained on the Red side.

Then, the two exchanged a glance in the Mid Lane and, surprisingly, without prior consultation…

Went to clear minion waves!

The live audience was dying of laughter. Yao Mu couldn't help but say, "A 5v5 match turned into a 4-person brawl. Both Junglers were absent from the team fight, went to the bushes to find each other, didn't find anyone, and so tacitly ran to the Top and Bot lanes to push waves. Their teammates must be so confused: Two Junglers, what are you doing? What happened to the team fight?"

Brother Dong suppressed his laughter and said, "Today's entertainment match is actually a 1v1 plus a 4v4, not a 5v5."

Yao Mu agreed. "Makes sense! Both Junglers also have a tacit understanding of wave management. Anyway, you guys finished the team fight, so handling the minion waves is more important."

Chi Shuo pushed Top, and Ye Shaoyang pushed Bot; both took the lanes where their minions had the advantage.

As they pushed, they suddenly paused because the opponent had appeared on the map. They seemed to be considering whether to go gank the other person. After a 2-second pause, both decided simultaneously: Forget the gank, let's backdoor the tower!

So, both stopped simultaneously, then continued simultaneously.

The synchronization of their actions was simply like intelligent robots that had pressed the same command.

Yao Mu laughed out loud. "Shuoyue pushed down the Red side's Top inhibitor tower with the wave! Simultaneously, Lieyang pushed down the Blue side's Top inhibitor tower with his wave!"

Brother Dong said, "Two little tower-stealing experts, very synchronously, stole the opposing high ground towers."

Audience: "…"

Excuse me, are we watching a competition, or are we watching you two perform synchronization?

Chi Shuo was helpless, and Ye Shaoyang was also helpless. They each explained to their teammates: "It was too far to catch him; better to steal the high ground." "Couldn't make it in time, so I just stole the high ground first."

Teammates: "Oh."

The match reached the 15-minute mark. For the fast-paced Clone Wars, this was already the late game.

Both sides launched another team fight to contest the Grand Dragon.

The 5 Blue Team members went invisible collectively, flanking to ambush the Red Team.

The Red Team was caught off guard. With 5 invisible [Stealth Rogues], there was absolutely no vision on the map. The [Illusionists] were all squishy; once flanked by a Rogue, a single critical strike left them with only half health.

The Blue Team's strategy was clear. They sent the three experienced Junglers to cut into the backline together. Chi Shuo, A'Yan, and Liu Luo formed a team to sneak attack the Red Team's carries. The three didn't appear simultaneously. Liu Luo came out first to bait out the key combos from the Red Team's [Illusionists]. Following that, A'Yan and Chi Shuo entered the fray together, instantly slicing through three of the Red Team's squishies!

This team fight was a 2-for-3 trade, and the Blue Team secured the Grand Dragon.

The Red Team retreated to defend the high ground. In the final high ground team fight, the three Junglers—Chi Shuo, A'Yan, and Liu Luo—teamed up again to dive the backline, directly killing Xie Yuan and Xie Weiyu, breaking through the Red Team's Mid defense.

Yao Mu said, "Congratulations to the Blue Team for winning today's Clone Wars!"

Brother Dong said, "It's quite surprising that the Blue Team won this round. After all, the synergy between Fang Fang and Captain Chi usually leads their teammates to ruin. But looking back at the whole game, we find that Fang and Chi almost never synergized. The last two key team fights were actually a synergy between the three Junglers: Shuoyue, A'Yan, and Luoshen!"

Yao Mu said excitedly, "That's right! It's rare to see three Junglers teaming up to cut down enemies in a match! Today, the Blue Team chose [Stealth Rogue] for Clone Wars. Going invisible simultaneously to cut the backline during team fights put immense pressure on the opposing backline. In the final high ground fight, Xiao Yu and Yuanyuan hit the floor almost instantly!"

Xie Yuan and Xie Weiyu took off their headphones, hearing this segment and agreeing deeply.

Usually, in matches, it was hard enough for squishies to survive being targeted by one Jungler; today, being flanked by three invisible Junglers meant certain death.

Although Xie Weiyu, Ye Shaoyang, and Chen Qianhua played Clone Mode often, that was against online gamers. Against professional players with three Junglers on the enemy team while they were a group of squishies, losing was quite normal.

Ye Shaoyang spoke up proactively, "I got rhythm-checked by Chi Shuo this game. My bad."

Xie Weiyu smiled and said, "It's fine, it's just an entertainment match. Besides, we were five squishy mages against five assassins who could turn invisible. We couldn't see their positions; the team fights were really hard to play."

Chen Qianhua said, "Right, no vision, completely in the dark. Team fighting was too difficult."

Zhao Xin'an said cheerfully, "There's still the next game. Let's try hard when we fight the Yellow Team!"

Game 1: Red Team vs. Blue Team, Blue Team wins.

Game 2: Red Team vs. Yellow Team. This time, Ye Shaoyang and his team chose the clone hero [Sharpshooter], hoping to quickly establish an advantage and push towers through long-range sniping; the Yellow Team chose the hero [Frost Goddess].

The audience sat up straight in anticipation.

The Red Team had 5 [Sharpshooters] hiding far away to snipe you. Even if your gun aim was off, my bullet would hit eventually, right? With 25 bullets combined, they could snipe the opponents so hard they couldn't get close. The Yellow Team had 5 [Frost Goddesses] standing in a row, unleashing overwhelming blizzards so minion waves couldn't even think about crossing.

5 Mages vs. 5 Marksmen.

On the Yellow Team, Sean and Zhou Jiawen were both world-class Mid Laners. Although Qu Jiang had switched to Support, he used to play Mid, and his win rate with control-type mages like [Frost Goddess] was very high. Xu Zhuo and Li Yunmo weren't Mid Laners, but they knew how to play beginner heroes like the Frost Goddess.

On the Red Team, Xie Yuan and Xie Weiyu were professional Marksmen, so using the [Sharpshooter] was obviously no problem. Chen Qianhua was a Support, Ye Shaoyang a Mid Laner, and Zhao Xin'an a Top Laner; these three definitely had less mastery over the [Sharpshooter] than the professional Marksmen.

Yao Mu said, "Clone Mode is actually hard to balance for every player because teammates might not know how to play the hero you're good at, and you might only be average at the hero your teammates are amazing with."

Brother Dong said, "Comparatively speaking, the Yellow Team has 3 professional Mid Laners. I favor the Yellow Team more for this game."

The facts proved this to be true. Professional matches relied on details. With the Red Team's 5 Sharpshooters, Xie Yuan and Xie Weiyu's skill accuracy was unquestionable, and Ye Shaoyang's sniping was decent, but…

Chen Qianhua would miss 3 out of 5 bullets.

Zhao Xin'an was even more outrageous; he missed all 5 shots into thin air and was frozen and solo-killed by Qu Jiang, who played Top Lane!

Zhao Xin'an couldn't help but complain: "Damn, damn, damn! I'm really not suited for these long-range heroes where you have to aim slowly. Just give me a Warrior; dealing damage face-to-face is so much more satisfying!"

He liked face-to-face damage dealing and trading health directly the most.

Long-range heroes, where you aimed for ages and still missed, were too troublesome.

Xie Yuan smiled and said, "[Sharpshooter] requires flick-shotting; you can't aim slowly. The opponent will definitely dodge your firing trajectory. Aim in the opposite direction, align the skill, then flick 180 degrees to shoot. You can only hit if the opponent is unprepared."

Zhao Xin'an learned on the spot, and the result was…

He finally sniped a minion. It was touching!

Professional players didn't necessarily know how to play every hero. Zhao Xin'an certainly understood the mechanics and weaknesses of the [Sharpshooter] and could cut one down, but playing one himself? Sorry, he really couldn't hit anything; his head was about to explode.

What surprised Xie Yuan was that Ye Shaoyang's skill accuracy was actually quite high. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Does Yangyang play Marksman usually? Your Sharpshooter is pretty good."

Ye Shaoyang said, "I practiced a bit to torment our Xiao Xing."

Far away at the Tianhuan team base watching the live stream, Cheng Xing let out a huge sneeze.

This game ended very quickly. The Red Team's base exploded at 12 minutes because the Yellow Team had Qu Jiang, Zhou Jiawen, and Sean—three professional Mid Laners. One would Flash and use their Ultimate to seal off movement, one would hide in the bushes to freeze you with their W skill, and another would find an opening to use their Ultimate to harvest kills.

Once the Yellow Team's 5 Frost Goddesses released their Ultimates, the Red Team couldn't clear minions at all.

Game 2: Red Team vs. Yellow Team, Yellow Team wins.

There was still the third game left, Yellow Team vs. Blue Team, which hadn't been played yet.

Ye Shaoyang and the other four sat in the spectator area. Zhao Xin'an said with conflict, "Regardless of who wins or loses between them, we lost two games in a row, so we definitely have to accept a punishment, right?"

Ye Shaoyang joked, "Don't worry, Reporter Zhao. Last year you lost 100,000 followers from dancing. Work hard this year and lose another 200,000?"

Zhao Xin'an almost spat blood. "Grass, don't mention dark history. I don't want to do that again."

Xie Weiyu began to fret. "I made Captain Xu cosplay Kung Fu Master yesterday. Will he make me cosplay a Wind Elf or something today? That would be so awkward."

Chen Qianhua said calmly, "We punished them yesterday, they punish us today. It's just karma."

Xie Yuan sighed beside them. "I made Captain Fang meow like a cat. Will he make me bark like a dog?"

While they chatted, the match between the Yellow Team and Blue Team began.

The Yellow Team had many Mid Laners, so they once again chose a mage, the [Kraken of the North Sea], cloning 5 of them.

The Blue Team had many Junglers, so they chose the assassin [King of Fighters].

Compared to the entertainment and comedy of the first two games, the third game was much more intense. The [Kraken of the North Sea]'s Ultimate devoured and insta-killed people; five Krakens standing together could bite a whole group to death. The [King of Fighters] cut people down from a distance, one punch per squishy; five [Kings of Fighters] moving simultaneously could beat the old masters to death with chaotic punches.

After several team fights, the Yellow Team gradually gained the upper hand, relying on the advantage of long attack range and strong Ultimate burst damage, quickly pushing down the Blue Team's Mid tower.

In the final high ground team fight, Sean and Zhou Jiawen acted simultaneously, suddenly activating their Ultimates to summon Krakens that instantly bit two Blue Team members to death. Fighting with numbers on their side, they won the match.

Game 3: Yellow Team vs. Blue Team, Yellow Team wins.

Yao Mu walked to the center of the stage and said, "Today's three Clone Wars matches were fantastic! Lineups of 5 Mages, 5 Marksmen, and 5 Assassins really opened our eyes. In the end, the Yellow Team won 2 consecutive games, becoming the ultimate winner and earning the right to administer punishment. The Blue Team went 1-1, and the Red Team lost two games; both these teams must accept punishment."

Hearing this, Fang Zhengqing couldn't help but say, "We went 1-1. Shouldn't we be exempt from both reward and punishment?"

Zhao Xinping said, "Don't worry, the Yellow Team people might not pick you."

The 5 members of the Yellow Team were invited to the center of the stage.

The winning team today received limited edition S10 Season figurines as prizes. The punishment segment was different from yesterday; it was the common "Truth or Dare." Staff members carried a large wheel to the center of the stage, which had various Truth or Dare options on it.

Yao Mu said, "Today's punishment segment is Truth or Dare! There are many options on the wheel; whatever it spins to is what you do. Who from the Yellow Team will go first?"

Xu Zhuo raised his hand.

Brother Dong stepped aside and said, "Let's welcome the Captain of the Yellow Team, Captain Xu."

Xu Zhuo walked up to the big wheel and smiled toward the Red Team. "I remember someone designated me for punishment yesterday? Please step forward automatically."

Xie Weiyu stood up with a flushed face, looking extremely uneasy.

Xu Zhuo said, "I choose Dare." He stepped forward and spun the wheel. Eventually, the pointer stopped on "Cosplay Your Main Hero." Xu Zhuo laughed loudly. "Yesterday, Xiao Yu made me cosplay Kung Fu Master. Today, Xiao Yu, come cosplay your main hero, the Wind Elf."

Xie Weiyu wanted to cry but had no tears. The staff quickly brought up the costume. Blushing, he put on the green outfit and even wore a pair of pointed elf ears.

Xie Weiyu's appearance wasn't exceptionally striking, but his skin was very fair, and he had a gentle temperament. After putting on the elf costume, the pointed ears, and the wig, he actually bore some resemblance to the elf in the game.

The live audience erupted in screams, and the live stream chat was howling—

[Ahhh, Xiao Yu is so well-behaved!]

[I love this Wind Elf.]

[He's actually quite good-looking. A Beta handsome guy who looks better the more you look at him.]

[His pose drawing the bow is a bit stiff and funny, hahaha, his face is all red.]

Xie Weiyu couldn't help blushing. He had never worn such strange clothes before and felt awkward doing any movement. He failed to draw the bow, and the arrow dropped to the ground first. When he bent down to pick it up, one of his elf ears fell off. The host helped him tidy up, and Xie Weiyu hurriedly completed the cosplay task in a panic.

Next, it was Sean's turn. Since Chen Qianhua had picked him for punishment yesterday, Sean said, "Then I'll pick Captain Chen too. To say it in Chinese, this is… courtesy demands reciprocity?"

Zhao Xin'an immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Great, he didn't pick me. Otherwise, I would have performed a breakdown right here!"

Brother Dong praised, "The phrase 'courtesy demands reciprocity' was used well. Please step forward to accept the punishment, Captain Chen."

Chen Qianhua stepped out helplessly. Sean also chose Dare and casually spun the wheel. In the end, the pointer stopped once again on "Cosplay Your Main Hero."

No wonder the officials prepared so many clothes; it turned out today had a Dare segment.

Chen Qianhua's main hero was the tall and burly Support [Radiant Shield]. He put on the helmet and walked around the stage holding the massive shield. He looked quite majestic, earning warm applause from the audience.

The third person was Li Yunmo, the Support of the Jingzhe Team.

He walked up, looked at his own captain, then at Xie Yuan, and finally said, "Captain Fang is too lazy to move. Ah-Yuan, you come."

Xie Yuan was speechless. "What kind of reason is that!"

Li Yunmo laughed. "We're all fellow players; we see each other all the time. You spin the wheel yourself. Whatever you get is what you get; don't hate me."

Xie Yuan took a step forward and spun the wheel. The result was: "Princess carry the person closest to you."

Laughter erupted in the venue.

Because the person closest to him happened to be Li Yunmo.

The two exchanged a glance. Xie Yuan complained, "Can't lift him."

Li Yunmo's face looked grim. "So, is this you being punished, or me being punished?"

Xie Yuan said, "This is called shooting yourself in the foot!"

He turned to lift the other man, but Li Yunmo was half a head taller than him. He really couldn't lift him up, and the two almost fell over together, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Ye Shaoyang was also laughing. He could tell the members of the Jingzhe Team had a good relationship. When he used to go to KTV gatherings with his team brothers, they often played Truth or Dare too. Because they had a clear conscience, they didn't mind this kind of physical contact. If it were him and Chi Shuo, he really couldn't bring himself to do such an intimate action…

Ye Shaoyang was slightly stunned inwardly. Why did I think of Chi Shuo?

After Xie Yuan's punishment was completed, it was Zhou Jiawen's turn.

Everyone thought Zhou Jiawen would name A'Yan, because A'Yan was the Jungler of the Huowen Team and his teammate. Most players picked teammates during the punishment segment so as not to offend anyone.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jiawen actually said another player's name: "Lieyang, come on."

Ye Shaoyang was a bit dazed and looked up at him in confusion.

Zhou Jiawen said with a faint smile, "Just based on the fact that you used a smurf account to farm noobs on the international server and made us guess wrong for several months, if I don't pick you today, I can't explain it to some friends abroad."

Ye Shaoyang: "…"

The friend abroad he mentioned was definitely Mitchell.

How much resentment did Mitchell have? Did he watch the All-Star live stream too?

Ye Shaoyang said helplessly, "What does Captain Zhou want me to do?"

Zhou Jiawen smiled and said, "Spin the wheel yourself. Your fate, you decide."

The applause was enthusiastic. Ye Shaoyang had no choice but to take a deep breath and bite the bullet to spin the wheel. A moment later, the pointer stopped on "Truth: Answer three of the other party's questions sincerely."

Ye Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Captain Zhou, please ask."

Zhou Jiawen said, "Then I'll ask on behalf of a certain international friend: Which Mid Lane hero do you like the most?"

Ye Shaoyang answered without hesitation, "Abyssal Lord."

This was the first hero he took to the National Rankings to make a name for himself, and in his debut match, he used the Abyssal Lord to achieve a Penta-kill and ascend to godhood. He had a special affection for this hero.

Zhou Jiawen nodded and continued asking, "Which hero are you most wary of during laning?"

Ye Shaoyang stifled a laugh and said, "Solar Mage."

Mitchell had used the [Solar Mage] to lane against him back then and was solo-killed by his [Abyssal Lord]. If Mitchell was watching the live stream, he would definitely be very unhappy hearing this.

Zhou Jiawen said, "Last question. Who is your favorite professional player?"

Ye Shaoyang suddenly froze.

This question was actually very normal. In post-match interviews, reporters often asked, "Who is your favorite professional player?" Just as when entertainment stars were interviewed, reporters would ask, "Which celebrity do you admire the most?"

Everyone would usually state the answer in their hearts frankly.

At the moment he heard the question, only one name popped up in Ye Shaoyang's heart.

Chi Shuo.

He had come to this strange world and didn't know much about the players in the e-sports circle. Ever since he met Chi Shuo and learned about the Tianhuan Team's history and situation, he had always admired Chi Shuo.

Because he admired Chi Shuo's way of conducting himself, and liked Chi Shuo's unyielding resilience and serious, responsible attitude toward the Tianhuan Team, he chose to join Tianhuan.

His favorite professional player was naturally Chi Shuo; there was no doubt about that.

If he went against his conscience and said someone else's name, the fans would tell he was lying. For such a simple question, why would he lie? Covering it up would only make it more obvious—did he have a guilty conscience?

According to normal logic, he was introduced to the Tianhuan Team by Chi Shuo, and it was Chi Shuo who pushed through all objections to let him play starting Mid. Shouldn't it be expected that his favorite player was Chi Shuo?

But for some reason, thinking of the word "like," his heartbeat suddenly sped up a little, and he felt inexplicably guilty. After all, he had dreamed just last night that Chi Shuo thoroughly marked him.

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath, tried his best to pretend to be calm, smiled, and said, "My favorite professional player… is our Tianhuan Team's Captain, Shuoyue."
