No matter how the fans guessed at the truth, the training match that had been scheduled was still in progress.

The players from both teams all arrived and soon entered the BP stage.

Chen Feng was ready and waiting, writing and scribbling on his iPad. His posture was akin to his readiness for a formal competition.

Oh… Something was missing compared to an official competition. For better or worse, there was no soul-sucking poster.

Although FTW had never played against Y1, Y1 was a powerful global team, and Chen Feng had done a lot of homework on them.

He hadn’t only studied Y1 because they wanted to target the global games, but also because they could draw experience for themselves from watching strong teams fight.

Y1 was also known as the routine kaleidoscope. The domestic routine emperor, TPT, was like a junior school student when compared with Y1.

It wasn’t that Fu Li’s brain wasn’t as good as Yan Jiang’s, but that his hardware was a little worse. At the end of the day, a mid-laner didn’t have the same overall grasp of the situation as a support player.

In fact, the BP link was very relaxed when playing against Y1.

This was because there was nothing to target. No matter what line-up they took, Yan Jiang could easily make up for his team’s shortfalls in the match. This was an extremely overbearing ability.

Instead, FTW needed to pay more attention on how to obtain a comfortable line-up for themselves.

Unfortunately, Y1 was very clever. Those who were familiar with routines could see their intentions during the BP link even if they didn’t understand FTW as a team.

After a surge of dark undercurrents, the c-positions for both sides were settled.

Chen Feng hesitated over his own jungler position.

Wei Xiao was fearless. “Take the shadow thief!” He was starting to get the hang of the nine light arcs and wanted to practice it.

Chen Feng glanced at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng: “Yes.”

Chen Feng couldn’t resist. “To take the shadow thief in front of Yan Jiang…”

Wei Xiao understood. “Have Old Bai take the cleanse priest?”

Chen Feng’s concerns were reasonable. Wei Xiao’s shadow thief was very strong, but if the shadow thief wanted to brush enough light arcs, it needed to be able to play out a series of moves.

Once he was controlled during a combo, then he’d be done for.

When facing other players, Wei Xiao’s positioning was like a fish swimming in water. He could easily avoid their control skills.

When facing Yan Jiang, a man who understood the shadow thief down to his bones, how would Wei Xiao be able to avoid it?

Let alone nine light arcs; Chen Feng was afraid that Wei Xiao would end up with psychological trauma and not dare to use the shadow thief ever again.

Wei Xiao had also seen Yan Jiang’s control before so he was very clear about what he might encounter during the match.

As a support hero, the cleanse priest was still considered quite mainstream. Many teams would use it during the season.

If there were strong control skills, then there would also be cleansing skills. Wei Xiao couldn’t take any additional cleansing skills because he was playing jungler and could only rely on his support player for assistance.

There were two ways for the cleanse priest to clear controls. One was its ultimate move, which would cleanse all teammates within range, and the other was played out through a series of moves and could store a cleanse that could be applied to avoid control.

The cleanse priest was a support hero that relied on operations. Of course, this micro level wasn’t much for professional players and Brother Cai could use it.

Chen Feng shook his head. “Unless it’s a last resort, don’t use things like the cleanse priest with Yan Jiang.”

The cleanse priest had clear advantages––it could be used against teams with strong control, but it also had a terrible disadvantage––it had zero control skills and no healing.

A support position in Glory had several important key attributes. One was control, and the other was healing. The rest such as shields, defense, and buff stacks could also enhance their teammates’ abilities. With the cleanse priest, other than its ability to remove controls, its only other advantage was its high survivability.

This attribute was more suited for casual players. Players would happily use the cleanse priest because it didn’t die easily and didn’t need to rely on its teammates too much.

But when it was used in a team game, one bad operation could cause the team to break apart.

Without any control skills, it couldn’t start a group fight.

Without healing, it couldn’t help extend teammates’ lives.

If it was just used for cleansing, then it was also very difficult for it to target Yan Jiang.

Other support control rates were at 30% so the cleanse priest could lead his teammates to kill and succeed after dealing with a key control.

But Yan Jiang’s precision level was at 70%, which made the cleanse priest’s single team cleanse skill appear insufficient.

Close knew Yan Jiang very well, which was why he said that they shouldn’t take the cleanse priest unless absolutely necessary.

It was very likely that they would only solve minor problems without dealing with the major ones.

But Wei Xiao was still eager to go. “I want to give it a try.”

They would encounter them sooner or later. If he fell sooner, then he could climb back up again sooner.

Chen Feng thought about it and gritted his teeth. “Fine.”

He believed in Little Lunatic Wei. After all, this little lunatic wasn’t like ordinary people.

Their line-ups were determined.

FTW: Space warrior, shadow thief, spirit mage, holy priest, frost hunter.

Y1: Death knight, power thief, earth mage, elemental shaman, gold hunter.

Yan Jiang took the elemental shaman, and Chen Feng’s brows jumped up.

Y1 had a habit, a habit that everyone knew, but could do nothing about––

Their support would always be the last to pick a hero, and they were never anxious.

Everyone knew about this habit, but they weren’t able to do anything about it.

Just like FTW in the China competition zone; if the last position to pick a hero was their jungler position, then they could disregard all else arbitrarily and let Close take whatever he liked.

It was the same for Y1, and what made it even more terrifying was that they could be equally arbitrary and willful in the global games.

It couldn’t really be considered willful. After all, Yan Jiang’s support was the core of the team.

However, this core could change a lot.

There were two players in Glory who had taken the elemental shaman and made great use of it.

One was Pro’s Li Heran. In the doubles, the elemental shaman could essentially give Kim Sung-hyun ten lives, letting him beat up the other side until they were left dizzy.

The other was Yan Jiang, who’d maintained a 100% win rate with it in team competitions.

Wei Xiao breathed lightly. “Let’s go.”

Everyone grew serious. “Okay!”

Although it was a training match, since they’d been given this chance to fight against the strongest team in the world, they had to do their best!

The start of the game was unexpectedly smooth.

The three lanes went up against each other and provided vision where they should. Their development was relatively stable.

Lu Feng had taken the space warrior in this game. Most top-laners would call this hero the gun warrior, because his weapon was a spear gun that had a relatively long range of attack, and its ultimate move was also quite unique.

The space warrior’s ultimate move was to break through air, tear open space, and move a friendly unit in a certain direction. The range for this skill covered nearly half the canyon, making it very strong when used well.

FTW had been practicing with this routine lately, and they were quite proficient with it, but it was still unknown how they were going to play it today.

Although it was just a training match held at home, Chen Feng still followed the rules of the competition and sat on the other side so that he wouldn’t interfere with their game.

From the overall perspective, Chen Feng could see more of the game, but reminding them of things at this time was meaningless. If they cheated and won this game, then what? It wasn’t as though they were afraid of losing in a training match.

As Chen Feng had expected, it was impossible to compare the vision that Brother Cai provided with Yan Jiang’s.

One of the vision traps placed in the small dragon cave disappeared. Brother Cai gave an alert, “Old Wei, be careful in the bottom jungle zone.”

Wei Xiao was staring at it fixedly. He also told Ning Zhehan, “Pay attention to the bushes to the right.”

Ning Zhehan was very nervous, and his eyes didn’t even blink as he watched closely.

During a break in their communication, Wei Xiao inexplicably felt a tingling numbness in his scalp. After that, a dark, black totem landed at his feet.

Wei Xiao sucked in a breath.

He used sudden strike and displacement, giving up the stone monster to step away from the totem’s range, but it was as though the skill had grown a pair of eyes and could clearly see through his intentions; the flying totem split into two and attached itself to the shadow thief’s ankle.

Black fog billowed up, and the toxin entered his body along his ankle. Wei Xiao entered a frozen state.

Ning Zhehan tried to rush over, but Y1’s mid-laner tossed down an earth splitter at the spirit mage, and Little Ning’s original forward rolling action was forced into becoming a backwards rolling action.

This one step back turned his attempt to support Wei Xiao into nothing but a dream.

Bai Cai’s expression was shocked. “When did he get there!”

The elemental shaman had clearly just been at the bottom lane. How had he crossed the dragon cave and gotten to the red jungle zone in the blink of an eye?

But now wasn’t the time to think about this. If he still didn’t go and provide support, then Wei Xiao would be dead for nothing.

Indeed…

There was no way that Wei Xiao could survive. Being locked in place by the elemental shaman was enough time for the power thief to sweep in and send him on his way.

Lu Feng’s low voice sounded out in their headsets, “Bai Cai and Yue Wenle, put pressure on your lane. Wei Xiao, enter stealth mode.”

Wei Xiao was stunned.

In the next second, a huge silver gate opened up behind him.

The shadow thief who was controlled by the elemental shaman couldn’t move at all, but he didn’t need to move. A white palm stretched out from behind the silver gate, light flashed, and the palm sucked backwards, pulling the shadow thief in with it.

Space breaking gate!

Close used this skill at the maximum range and teleported the seriously injured shadow thief over to himself.
