Chapter 108: Unfavorable Situation

[Cough, pay attention guys. The game’s about to start. Don’t talk about unrelated stuff.] Ye Lingchen reminded them with a light cough in a helpless tone.

Wu’er’s sound was pleasing to his ears, but if she kept using that voice to flirt with him, then… that was difficult to deal with!

Ye Lingchen did not know what the others thought about it, but he could not take it.

The screen started to load up for the game.

[Y-God, what hero do you plan to use?] Coold asked, [Could it still be Shadow Fiend?]

[Yeah, I still plan to use Shadow Fiend.]

[Y-God, Shadow Fiend is too squishy. The opponents are experienced in team play. We need to be more careful about your hero choice.] 09 advised with a serious tone.

Although Ye Lingchen was well known for playing Shadow Fiend and he was good at it, Shadow Fiend was still Shadow Fiend. Its weaknesses were obvious. Once countered, it would become useless!

[Relax.] Ye Lingchen replied with a smile.

Very soon, it was time to pick their heroes.

A cruel smile appeared on the faces of the five from the Sun Nation, [How dare they humiliate us! Execute plan A! We must crush them completely!]

In DOTA, teams are split into groups of five. Teamwork was especially important. That caused the hero lineup to be a deciding factor for the outcome of a match.

The five from the Sun Nation put on a chilling smile and locked in five heroes right from the start.

Axe, Death Prophet, Silencer, Juggernaut, and Slayer.

The appearance of those five heroes caused everyone’s heart to skip a beat.

Every one of them were strong heroes in all aspects. Apart from that, their synergy in a team fights was not something to laughed at. Each of them were well suited for team fights.

When faced with those five heroes, Ye Lingchen’s side was having difficulty picking another five heroes to stand up to them.

[Y-God, I think you should calm down a little. Picking Shadow Fiend now will put us in an unfavorable situation.] Love Letter was forced to bring this up to him.

[It’s fine,] Ye Lingchen shrugged it off, then picked Shadow Fiend without hesitation.

Upon seeing the choice of hero their Y-God went with, the viewers went up in an uproar.

[F*ck! It can’t be! Y-God still picked Shadow Fiend?]

[He must be crazy. With such a lineup on the opposing team, what can Shadow Fiend do?]

[I admit that Y-God is good at using Shadow Fiend, but… this is just too reckless.]

[It’s gone, we’re finished. Y-God has finally let it go to his head!]

Several people were spewing comments like crazy, all of them filled with apprehension for the match.

The five from the Sun Nation were delighted. They have won half the game before it even started.

[Hahaha, that dumb*ss picked Shadow Fiend! He’s asking for it!]

[He’s here to feed us right? We’ll just treat him as an ATM.]

Coold and the rest felt helpless. They quickly picked their heroes as well. However, when compared with the lineup of the Sun Nation’s team, they were off by more than a tier.

“This lineup is disadvantageous!” Even though Song Qian knew nothing about the game, having looked at the comments, a worried scowl appeared on his face.

[I’ll take mid!] Ye Lingchen stated with any hesitation, then calmly sent Shadow Fiend down along the middle lane.

Surprisingly, the hero he faced was not Slayer, but Death Prophet instead.

The Sun Nation’s tactics were initially quite passive. They only leeched experience from the creeps, occasionally trying to outsmart or outmaneuver Ye Lingchen. That led to a rather peaceful face-off.

On the other hand, the defense of the bottom lane was already showing signs breaking.

With Axe cutting off their creeps before the tower and Silencer covering for him, Wu’er’s Earthshaker and Love Letter’s Slark had no way of getting close. They could not even farm the creeps. Once, they even made a mistake and allowed Axe to draw first blood.

The gap between the heroes was too big. Earthshaker and Slark were both melee heroes, fully suppressed by their opponents range advantage.

Within the first seven minutes, the tier one tower on the bottom lane had already lost half its health. Wu’er and Love Letter’s levels too were stunted.

[F*ck! That’s too frustrating!] Love Letter’s face was flushed, [Y-God, can’t you come to help out the bottom lane?]

[I don’t do team fights. You just focus on slowing them down.] Ye Lingchen replied calmly. His words not only caused Coold and the rest to feel hopeless, even the viewers felt the same.

[Good heavens! What’s the meaning of this? Not taking part in team fights?!]

[What’s Y-God up to? Did he give up?]

[Mole! He’s a mole! F*ck!]

[Oh right, Death Prophet should be going bottom,] Ye Lingchen continued, leisurely taking control of the middle lane.

As expected, Death Prophet appeared the very next moment at the bottom lane.

Death Prophet immediately started with its ultimate, causing countless spirits to surround the tower and eat away at its health.

[They’re planning to push the towers!] 09 quickly understood the opponent’s goal.

The opposing team was good at team fights and their early game damage output was great. They were preparing to cut off all hope for Ye Lingchen’s team and push to the end!

With Death Prophet, its ultimate was one of the fastest in terms of pushing towers.

[Y-God, are you not coming back?]

[No!]

Ye Lingchen remained in the middle, clearing creeps with shadowraze and eating away at the opponent’s tier-one tower in the middle lane. However, his speed was incomparable to his opponents. The opponent’s tower had only lost a third of its health, but his own tier one tower at the bottom lane was destroyed.

[Sh*t! The enemy is pushing bottom with a five-man team!] Love Letter shouted, his tone filled with anxiety, [They plan to push the tier two tower as well!]

Once Juggernaut’s healing ward was out, it was equivalent to a moving fountain. Along with the five-man team, waves of creep pushed forth towards the tier two tower.

Furthermore, due to the early game advantage, their equipment was much better than Ye Lingchen’s team.

This match looked even bleaker than the few matches before. It could already be considered a one-sided game at this point. The rowdy comments started to fade away as everyone’s heart sank.

The Sun Nation was using a shameless but effective tactic, causing everyone to lose hope.

They could handle single fights, team fights, and even push towers quickly. That was just taking away all hope from their opponents. The game had only begun, but your base was almost destroyed. How do you play against that?

This was Y-God’s reemergence in the gaming scene. Could this also be the time he gets utterly defeated?

[If they push the tower then you just let them. They won’t be able to push past our high ground. You guys go farm some experience first and catch up on your levels,] Ye Lingchen advised in a plain voice that was impossible to tell his emotions.

Finally, when Ye Lingchen finished pushing the tier one tower in the middle lane, the tier two tower on his team was destroyed as well.

He did not hesitate at all, headed directly into the jungle to clear creeps before heading back to base to resupply. Meanwhile, the opponents were already gathered in the middle lane, preparing to use the same tactic to crush the middle lane!

[You’re still not fighting?] Coold’s voice started to tremble. The disadvantage their team suffered was too obvious.

[No!] Ye Lingchen gave a cruel reply. He had been soloing all those while and even destroyed a tower. At that moment, he was the fattest player in the game.

Without any delay, he quickly purchased Boots of Travel and a Mask of Madness. Without even glancing at the middle lane, he teleported to the top lane…
