Chapter 3

Make a guess?

Qiao Yanzhou

feels a twinge of anticipation after reading ThoseStolenBlueBuffs’

reply. But he quickly brushes it off after collecting his thoughts.

Thinking about

it, the SPL Spring Split is now in full swing in S City. At this

crucial moment, if any professional player has the time to climb the

ranks using his smurf account, he is likely someone at the bottom of

the bottom-most level of the team, and a small fry at most. Then

again, this Orianna player’s mechanics and game awareness are so

outstanding that Qiao Yanzhou is having second thoughts about his

identity.

BoatIdlingBy:

maybe… ure nt a pro

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs:

why?

BoatIdlingBy:

shldnt pro players be practising right now?

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs:

who says so?

BoatIdlingBy:

c’mon, it’s common sense

BoatIdlingBy:

SPL has been on for some time

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs:

oh rly

BoatIdlingBy:

……

For some reason,

Qiao Yanzhou is wondering whether he even knows what SPL is.

BoatIdlingBy:

senpai, can u use ur mic, lazy to keep typing

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs:

nope

BoatIdlingBy:

……

As the game loads

up, five champions from the allied team arrive at the red side of the

Summoner’s Rift.

The champion that

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs has chosen, Xayah, is wearing a cape of

beautiful feathers. She flaps it and strides out of the base a few

seconds later. Although some say that Xayah has recently lost the

“God’s favour,” as she has been nerfed multiple times, the

design of this character is still awfully charming.

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): want a kill?

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): dreamin of it

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): lets go

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): where to?

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): get a kill and steal a buff

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): wow so pro

Qiao Yanzhou

initially thinks he is joking. After all, no ADC would be so foolish

as to invade the jungle along with a support. Little did he expect

that his foolish ADC would seriously march straight into the enemy

jungle!

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan) signals to be careful!

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan) signals to be careful!

YangYangYang

(Pantheon) signals to be careful!

However, he turns

a blind eye to the multiple exclamation marks appearing on the map

and continues striding towards the enemy jungle as if no one else is

on the Rift. He even fearlessly places a ward.

YangYangYang

(Pantheon): AD what ru doing?

YangYangYang

(Pantheon) signals to be careful

It’s already no

surprise that he chooses to remain silent to the jungler’s

question. Qiao Yanzhou has no choice but to follow along with the ADC

in case he dies as first blood in this reckless move.

Xayah carefully

scouts for the enemy and places a ward on a bush right behind the

enemy jungle creep. But they see no one.

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): we gonna hit it?

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): make a choice, kill or buff

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): kill

Qiao Yanzhou

replies without any hesitation. He has mentally prepared himself for

a journey of no return.

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): ok lets go

Xayah moves

towards the bottom side of the creep while Qiao Yanzhou observes his

movement. An ominous feeling grows in his heart.

Sure enough, the

enemy’s ADC and support are hiding at a blind spot nearby. They are

pretending to help the jungler to leash the blue buff, as if the

jungler is there.

However, they do

not manage to deceive Xayah. Before the enemies notice them, Xayah

shoots a feather towards the enemy’s ADC and surprises them. Qiao

Yanzhou follows up with a skill W that deals damage as well as giving

the ADC a knock-up. Xayah immediately throws two basic attacks that

greatly reduce the ADC’s health. When the kill is only one basic

attack away, the enemy’s support, Morgana, is intending to cast an

ability that binds Qiao Yanzhou. But as they have the upper hand in

this fight, he is not worried at all. Even if he is bound, he is sure

the enemy’s ADC dares not attack.

But to his

surprise, Xayah burns a flash to take the bind for him. Qiao Yanzhou

is so shocked at his move that he accidentally attacks a nearby

jungle creep.

The jungle creep

leaps up and attacks the enemy’s ADC, who is low in health and yet

to take the healing potion.

“First

blood!”

…Now, this

is awkward.

Qiao Yanzhou

finds it both funny and embarrassing at the same time.

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): what a powerful creep

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): if u had attacked the adc, that kill is urs

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): sry sir

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): what a waste of my flash

Oh. It

struck Qiao Yanzhou that Xayah was trying to give him the first blood

earlier by taking Morgana’s bind for him.

Isn’t that

overboard…

But even if Qiao

Yanzhou practises for another fifty years, he will never reach this

level of mechanics and game awareness. This is especially apparent as

Xayah could flash in so decisively and timely, though it was only for

his support to get the first blood.

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): r u in a pro team?

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): didnt u just ask this qtn?

BoatIdlingBy

(Rakan): but u didnt answer

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): farm first

Xayah continues

to kill the minions one by one after avoiding the question.

One kill and one

minion wave are enough for Xayah to become so powerful that the

recent nerfs have no effect on her. And although Xayah is nerfed,

Rakan is still a very strong protector. This makes their laning phase

a breeze, and Rakan’s Ardent Censer is well on its way.

“An ally has

been slain!”

“Double

kill!”

Nevertheless, as

the top lane falters, the edge over the enemies at the bottom lane

seems to be insufficient for a certain victory.

The enemy’s top

laner happily takes a double kill after a failed gank by the allied

team. Qiao Yanzhou is unaware of what happened as the bottom lane is

in a close fight, but he remembers a phrase that goes: “Kill one

get one free.”

Qiao Yanzhou

shifts his view and sees that the health bar of the enemy’s top

laner is still a third full.

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): focus

Qiao Yanzhou

knows instantly that prompt is meant for him. His hero obviously

stopped momentarily when he shifted the view to the top lane, but the

fact that this did not escape the Master’s eyes… Qiao Yanzhou

shudders at his sharp observation.

The failed gank

costs the jungler a blue buff. Qiao Yanzhou becomes anxious, but the

Master is still unwavering. It’s five minutes in, and he does not

miss hitting any minions. He even manages to harass the enemy’s ADC

to half-life. Qiao Yanzhou thought as much, because Xayah is strong

in the early game after all. If she is unable to pressure her enemies

now, it can still turn against them in the late game.

[All] FiFiBear

(Garen): Is that adc siler?

WTF??

Qiao Yanzhou

loses his focus upon reading the message from the enemy’s top

laner. His mind goes blank for a moment before walking into a

position that almost causes his death.

This gives the

enemy an opportunity to strike, as the enemy’s support binds him to

the ground and the ADC starts attacking by throwing two long spears

at Qiao Yanzhou. Just as he is about give up and push his keyboard

away, Xayah heals him in time and retracts her feathers that drive

the ADC away. She then side-steps to shoot another two feathers and

stuns the enemy with her skill R.

Those Stolen

Blue Buffs (Xayah) is asking for assistance!

Qiao Yanzhou

wants to retreat. However, since the enemy’s ADC is dying and Xayah

seems to want the kill, he flashes in with a skill Q and a basic

attack to finish off the easy-to-kill champion. The enemy’s support

wants to attack Qiao Yanzhou as he living with a sliver of health but

backs off after more of Xayah’s feather attacks.

But by far the

most shocked in the audience of this thrilling performance of

mechanics is Qiao Yanzhou.

Xayah’s

stunning effect only lasts for 2 seconds, but he somehow managed to

signal him in time to get the kill.

Is he really

Siler?

Qiao Yanzhou’s

face stiffens as he reads his stream’s chat window.

CockroachWannabeQiao:

HE IS SILER, u r being carried bruh

InsaneBee_Fan:

I will stream myself eating 3kgs of shit if he is not

IHaveBigMelons:

dude use your brain man, siler just finished a match

That’s right,

Siler lost so badly. It’s impossible that he would play ranked

games straight after. It just sounds ridiculous. Qiao Yanzhou shakes

his head and laughs at his ignorant viewers.

“Double

kill!”

ThoseStolenBlueBuffs

(Xayah): rakan, no more kills for u if u dun come nw
