Chapter 67

"Damn it, quickly give me the Blue Buff, or I'll be economically crushed!" said Xiao Guangjun of the Tian Da team.

"Okay, it’s about to respawn. Your health is a bit low, are you not afraid that the Card Master will use his ultimate on you?" Li Sheng said.

"Does he dare? The moment he lands, I’ll take him out first," Xiao Guangjun said confidently.

Li Sheng controlled Zhao Xin and walked towards their team’s Blue Buff.

Around the 2-minute mark, Zhao Xin had taken the enemy’s Red Buff first before taking their team’s Blue Buff, so the Blue Buff would respawn a bit later at the 7-minute mark.

Zhao Xin had the Red Claw, and the rest of his items were tanky, so his attack power wasn’t very high at this point, and his jungle speed wasn’t very fast either.

"Take it." Zhao Xin was down to the last bit of health, and at that moment, the Brand directly placed a Pillar of Flame behind the Blue Buff, taking this crucial Blue Buff.

"With the Blue, watch me finish him off!" Xiao Guangjun was already seething with anger.

For any AP hero, if most of the time is spent under the tower last-hitting, it’s very frustrating, especially for a strong hero like Brand!

The Blue Buff’s aura enveloped Brand’s feet, and his nearly depleted mana quickly recovered.

At that moment, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared in the sky!

These eyes overlooked the entire field, and every movement was easily observed.

"Shit, Card Master used his ultimate!" Xiao Guangjun’s face was full of shock.

Pages of cards with a glossy finish flickered in the long grass above Brand, and a circle of cards elegantly merged into a Card Ring!

At that moment, the Card Master appeared brilliantly in the center of the card ring, as if walking out of a strange dimensional gate!

A regal dizziness-inducing yellow card was held in his hand, and after being thrown, the yellow card drew a sharp, spinning line in the air, full of killing intent!

"Clang!!!"

The yellow card hit Brand’s forehead, and Brand was immediately stunned, his health dropping by a segment!

Omni-Card!

The three-leaf Omni-Card scattered, and the blade card in the center sliced through Brand, causing his health to drop again.

Ignite plus Card Trick!

The cards swirling around Card Master merged into one, combined with the newly synthesized Light of Lucent effect, this normal attack once again took a segment of Brand’s health!

Brand’s health had already been reduced to two-thirds, and all his health potions were used up. Card Master’s set of skills, along with the continuous burn from Ignite, brought his health to the brink.

Brand didn’t die, he started casting skills at Card Master, but unfortunately, in his panic, he failed to stun Card Master in time and was taken out by Card Master’s two normal attacks plus Ignite!

Brand let out a scream, and his body quickly turned into a pile of charred human-shaped carbon and fell to the ground.

The elegant Card Master put away his cards, elegantly swung his windbreaker, took the Blue Buff from the corpse of the Revenge Flame Soul, and gracefully returned to his lane to continue farming.

This process was smooth and natural, perfectly illustrating the art of killing with the eerie and charming style of the Card Master!

"Wow! The always calm Card Master shines again, directly solo-killing the Revenge Flame Soul - Brand! He didn’t fly up to support or fly down to take a kill, his first ultimate was precisely on Brand!"

When Yu Luosheng solo-killed Brand, applause echoed in the venue.

"You might think this is nothing, any good Card Master player knows to use his ultimate to take a kill. But the game of LOL is far from as simple as you think. For example, in this standard solo-kill, the Card Master player timed it very well, right when Brand just took the Blue Buff. Before that, the Card Master continuously put pressure on Brand to run out of mana, which made Brand immediately go for the Blue Buff when it respawned, a simple logical deduction."

"Plus, the Card Master had already drained Brand’s health and confirmed that he had no potions. After Brand took the Blue Buff, he immediately used his ultimate to take Brand’s life. You should have seen from the big screen that the Tian Da team had a ward placed by the Widowmaker at the Blue Buff location. The Card Master used his ultimate after Brand took the Blue Buff, not halfway through, partly to get an extra Blue Buff and partly to catch Brand during his skill cooldown. Because if Brand had his skills, using the ultimate directly might result in being hit by a set of skills."

"When you play LOL, you often complain about being in a bad team, thinking that experts are not much different from you. In fact, the difference between experts and ordinary players lies in these details. Those who can kill you always think one step ahead, or even several steps ahead."

The host’s words were very reasonable. In terms of operation, the game of LOL doesn’t really show how strong it is, after all, a hero’s operations are just a few sets.

But is the game really that simple?

Each hero has 4 skills, 1 passive, and some even have 8 skills with passive effects. Do you know how to use and hide each skill?

What summoner spells do you bring, and what summoner spells does your lane opponent bring? Have they used them, and have you deliberately remembered these details?

What equipment does your lane opponent have, how much health can a set of skills take from you, and what equipment do you have, how much health can you take from them? Can you calculate these?

When the jungler disappears from the map, are they waiting to ambush you?

When your lane opponent, who is usually very timid, suddenly becomes aggressive, it’s obvious that someone is behind them!

When the Blue Buff will respawn, and when the enemy will go for it, and whether you can ambush them, this is another important point!

Rather than saying that LOL is a team cooperation game, it’s more like an IQ game.

So, don’t think that someone who can solo-kill you is just lucky, cough...

...

Xiao Guangjun’s face was as black as the charred corpse of Brand!

What is the most intolerable thing when playing LOL?

Of course, it’s the crushing of your intelligence!

Brand against Card Master, to be honest, Brand definitely has the advantage. Card Master’s burst isn’t as high as Brand’s, and in terms of harassment, they are evenly matched...

Even, Card Master’s ultimate actually doesn’t dare to easily fly to Brand.

The moment Card Master lands, a W Pillar of Flame can be thrown into the card ring, followed by a Q Flame Mark, and although Card Master’s yellow card will still be thrown, it will definitely stun him.

But Xiao Guangjun never thought that the enemy would fly in right when his W Pillar of Flame was on cooldown!

"There’s a ward, it must have been placed by the Widowmaker!" Zhao Xin, the jungler, watched helplessly as his teammate was killed on the other side of the wall, and could only curse.

"You don’t need to say that!" Xiao Guangjun said angrily.
