Chapter 358 – 358. World Championship Group Stage (6)

Taiwanese eSports took Amazoness after a long struggle.

It could be said to be a pretty unconventional pick.
This is because the Amazoness itself is a character that is not easy to deal with, so it was not usually used.

However, if I had to choose, there were two cases where I picked Amazones. The first was when the opponent characters were mostly Bruiser-type characters with short arms, and the second was when I made a super carry angle while openly driving Amazons like the previous Battle Angels.

The angle that Taiwan eSports was aiming for in this match belonged to the former.
It was to check the supporter Hyperion, who was growing smoothly due to singles Cupid.

Ban picks are all over.
The commentators and casters praised Taiwanese esports because Amazoness, who was drawn as a joker card at the end, was quite good.

“As long as you raise the Amazons well, like the battle between the Battle Angels and Barnes Vortex, you will never run out of deals.”
“It is true that from the Battle Angels point of view, there is no assassin type character that can bite and kill an Amazoness. Will this help esports win rates in Taiwan?”
“Of course it helps! Although there is a buff that increases Hyperion’s movement speed, with proper kiting and the help of teammates, you can survive and deal damage.”
“The Battle Angels might struggle this match.”

###

When I came out of the capsule after finishing the ban pick, Hwang Ji-yeon was wearing a worried face.

She said, “She told me that she was confident in her whiteness, but… I’m worried that you didn’t keep the Amazoness in check.”

Singles Cupid was definitely a combination with excellent advantages, but it was true that the power of the AD was weakened because the AD was used like a support.
However, I shook my head as I recalled the confident white face.

“There will be no problem. Even if there is a problem, it’s because of banpick. You don’t have to frighten the players.”

Hwangbo Jiyeon smiled softly and nodded her head.

After a while the game started.
As expected, the most noteworthy line in the game was the bottom.

The fate of the game depends on how successful the Amazons are and how successful the short Cupid is.
As a result, the junglers naturally started jungling from the top jungle and chose the direction to put more effort into the bottom line.

In the meantime, on the bottom line, our team was fighting back and the opponent was repeatedly pushing aggressively.
It was not easy to attack because the immediate range was long in Taiwan eSports, which selected long-distance characters.

Taiwan eSports drove our team’s bot duo into the tower.
Ji-hye Lee helped me at the close timing and set the timing for the return, but even after returning to the line, it seemed difficult to exchange deals due to the difference in range.

“…Still, if it goes normally, the growth gap will widen, so the situation is not bad.”

Hwang Ji-yeon looked at me as if asking for consent.
I nod.

Hyperion, who eats CS with support items, is getting bigger and bigger.
Rather, it is the Amazoness that needs to grow more than the general melee.

Continued bullying by Taiwan eSports bottom.
It was at this timing that Hyperion’s sudden acceleration began.

Increased movement speed by changing the direction of the wind, Hyperion frantically rushes towards the opponent’s supporter.
Bangbang player, who is in charge of support in Taiwan eSports, calmly spread the distance and continued kiting.

Thanks to this, Baek Ha-yan’s sudden start is a failure.
A white man who managed to get out by using blink.
After that, I had to spend a painful time stuck in the tower again.

“Not bad.”

The attack failed, but the gains were made.
The reason was simply because they exchanged spells with each other.

For long-distance characters, spells such as Blink and Exhaustion were like a lifeline.
When you return to the base, your health will be restored, but the spell cannot be recovered unless the cooldown period is running.

Baek Ha-yan entered the enemy camp once more when his health was restored to half.
Accordingly, Ryu Seo-yoon responds and matches the charm to the opponent’s one-deal.

Bang Bang, who was unable to escape properly due to his fast movement speed, was hit by Baek Ha-yan for a long time.
He couldn’t escape because all the spells were gone.
But in the meantime, the opposing bot duo concentrated their attacks on White Baek, who had low health, and somehow managed to create an early lead.

“Nice.”

However, as the supporter, Bang Bang, took the kill, the Amazoness’ growth slowed down a bit.
On the other hand, due to Hyperion’s tenacious dealings, Bang Bang’s physical strength was also low.
Ryu Seo-yoon easily wins the Bang Bang player and falls back.

A simple 1v1 kill exchange.
However, it was only after that that hell broke out for the opposing bot duo.

After returning to the line, Hyperion relentlessly aims at the opposing bot duo who is out of spells!
Bang Bang had no choice but to face death as soon as he returned to the line, and this time, the Taiwanese Esports AD ended up hugging the tower.

The opponent jungler visited the bottom several times and tried to untie the twisted line, but each time, the bot duo, who had low health, only slightly helped with the line push.
I couldn’t even attack it recklessly because I could get a triple kill.

“Who can stop Hyperion?! Amazones aren’t even getting enough CS!”
“I have to catch Hyperion at least once, right? If it covers well like this, even if it is amazones, it will not melt easily.”
“I guess you’ll be busy running away if you hit me?”

And in fact, when a 4v4 local war broke out, excluding the tower, the front line centered on Hyperion could not be broken.
When Hyperion received a movement speed buff and ran through the enemy lines at high speed, it was impossible to settle down and fight.

I missed an opportunity once or twice, and after that, the opportunity never came again.
It has already reached a point where the growth is behind to melt the tanks, so no deal comes out.

You can see how much Baek Ha-Yan is enjoying just by playing.
Hyperion, which received movement speed, sweeps through the opponent’s formation, diligently crushing honey chestnuts.

Since she was wearing an item that slowed her movement and attack speed just by being around her, simply rubbing her body had the effect of hindering the enemy.

Taiwanese eSports struggled to grow Amazones as much as possible, but it was absurd to want them to grow faster than their opponents while handing over all large objects.

It was a team fight that took place in front of the Messiah’s Cave with the opponent who ran out because he could not stand it.
When Taiwanese eSports tried to focus only on growth while hiding themselves, Battle Angels erased enemy wards near the Messiah’s Cave and put pressure on them as if they were going to try a raid.

Is it a fishing game or a real raid?
Taiwanese eSports, who gave away 1 kill a few times after being hit by the hellish Jee-Seonda several times, bites the Hyperion in a fit of anger and stakes an initiation.

Baek Ha-yan evaded several skills with moving moves and dug deep into the enemy lines.
And the honey fist that clings to Bang Bang player tenaciously!

Because Amazoness has a stealth skill, she was able to survive and kite once.
However, once the tanker was attached to Bangbang player, who was caught by the deal porter, it became a composition that he could not get out of.

It seemed that Taiwan eSports had two options.
One was to fall back and try to save the Bang Bang player somehow, and the other was to abandon the supporter and rush forward to exchange for a more valuable liner from the opposing team.

However, there was a problem in making the optimal judgment, because the five players did not have enough time to make the same judgment.
Taiwan eSports decided that half fall back and half rush.

The one dealr who had to survive ran away to protect the supporter, and the other three boldly dug into the Battle Angels formation.

When that happened, a whole problem arose in Taiwan’s esports.
The front line ran out of damage, and the back line ran out of tank.

And the result, of course, was a crushing defeat that led to individual defeats.

“Battle Angels!!”

The voices of the commentator and caster mixed with admiration were heard.

“The hot team fight completely destroyed Taiwanese esports!”
“Do you know that this team is a loser?! As it is, it advances toward the opponent’s core!”
“Can Taiwan esports stop this attack?! Gee! Impossible!”
“This is how the game ends! GG!!”

With this, the first day of the group stage was neatly decorated with a victory.

There was a small crisis, but I calmly overcame it with in-game play.

I slowly seated each of them as they returned to the waiting room.

“Great job. There will be no games for the time being, so I can go back and rest a bit.”
Hehe… Are you rewarded for working hard today?”

The eyes of girls shining brightly in an instant.

I just knew what you wanted.
Tonight seemed to be struggling a bit.
