ImOS – Chapter 97: Playing Against I May
Ouyang Xue frowned when she heard Xiao Ran saying for Wu Xiaofan to play ADC .
“Can Xiaofan do it?”
Xiao Ran nodded . “Xiaofan is originally an ADC, just that it isn’t as good as his support . ”
Ouyang Xue thought for a moment and still shook her head .
“Originally, we were already lacking good for the mid, top, and jungle . Furthermore, your ADC and Xiaofan’s support is still better than the opposition . ”
“Buf if Xiaofan plays ADC, it would mean that the top-laner, mid-laner, ADC, and support are all inferior to IM . ”
“Also, if Xiaofan plays ADC, who will play support?”
Xiao Ran smirked and said, “Did I say we need support?”
Ouyang Xue asked in a surprised tone, “Do you mean…”
“Congratulations, you guessed it correctly . ”
“Double jungle . Can that work?”
“Whether it can work or not, you will know once we try it . ” Xiao Ran laughed mischievously and said, “Come on then, ask everyone to prepare and practice the tactic . ”
One hour later…
“My god, how did you think of such a dirty tactic . I am convinced . ”
“Haha, satisfying, too satisfying . This time, I am going to take off when playing against IM . Everyone, please forgive me for being so good!”

“Damn it . I cannot bear to look straight in their eyes . IM is going to be tormented by us . ”
“Hahaha, I know that Boss Xiao will definitely have a dirty tactic . How is that? I guessed it correctly right?”
…
When everyone was practicing the tactic, everyone was so excited and ecstatic, apart from Wu Xiaofan .
Wu Xiaofan’s confidence which was building up had collapsed at this moment .
He had to play ADC .
He had to return to his original ADC position .
To his disappointment, Wu Xiaofan’s hand had started to tremble .
Xiao Ran could see that something was wrong with Wu Xiaofan . He went over to pat Wu Xiaofan’s shoulder while smiling and asking, “Xiaofan, don’t be nervous . Do you know why I am asking you to play solo bot?”
Wu Xiaofan shook his head while looking dazzled .
“You are naturally suited to play support . But this time, JAY really doesn’t have any useful ADC, therefore, you have to fill this role temporarily . ”
“I am asking you to play ADC because of my trust in you . ”
“Let me say it this way . You have a great match analysis and an especially good awareness to prevent ganks . This time, you are going to be playing under pressure at the bot-lane alone . I do not expect too much but only two things . ”
“What are they?” Wu Xiaofan lifted his head to ask .
“Firstly, your CS against the opposing ADC must not have a difference of more than 50% . ”

Wu Xiaofan opened his mouth widely with surprise .
Not more than 50%?
This… seems a little too easy?
Even if the opposition is freezing the minion wave, it is impossible to freeze the entire lane, right?
Even if I hug the turret and wait at the turret to take the minions, I will never have a difference of more than 50% .
“Can you do that?” Xiao Ran asked .
Wu Xiaofan nodded forcefully . “Yes . ”
“Secondly, when you are playing under press at the bot-lane, you cannot die even once . ” Xiao Ran said and supplemented, “If the opposition calls for their jungler to dive the turret, that isn’t counted . ”
Xiao Ran extended two fingers and looked at Wu Xiaofan while asking in a serious tone . “Are you able to do these two things?”
Wu Xiaofan nodded and guaranteed . “Boss, don’t worry . If those are the only things, I will definitely be able to do it . ”
Xiao Ran laughed and patted Wu Xiaofan’s shoulder . “That’s the way . I am merely asking you to play under pressure at the bot-lane . I am not asking you to kill the opposing ADC and support alone . Look at how scared you were earlier on, you must have pissed yourself, right?”
Wu Xiaofan: “…”
Everyone was still in high spirits when they practiced until 3am . They were ultimately forced by Ouyang Xue to return and sleep .
When Ouyang Xue returned to her room, she put on a facial mask before sighing . “The domestic Esports training schedule is really too hectic . When the LSPL ends, I shall change their schedule, otherwise, my complexion will become bad after all the late hour practices . ”
Subsequently, Ouyang Xue took out a small notebook and looked at the match schedule that she made .

“Everything will depend on tomorrow’s match . If we win IM, JAY will at least be able to reach the top 3 before entering the playoffs . By then, we will be able to strive for LPL . ”
…
Next time, everyone woke up and packed up their things . Ouyang Xue then led them to board JAY’s team bus to enter the match venue .
The match between JAY and IM was set to the fifth match today .
Originally, Wawa, Mille, and Rita were appointed to shoutcast for the first four matches .
The matches were starting from 1pm and after the first four matches, they would be able to end and return home at around 6pm .
If the shoutcasters were responsible for the last four matches of the day, and if the teams were in a tight contest, they might end the day at around 10pm or even 11pm .
This was also the advantage for being a popular shoutcaster/analyst: Being able to pick the matches .
Of course, an analyst would definitely pick the first four matches in a normal situation .
But for this time, Wawa, Mille, and Rita unanimously picked to shoutcast for the last four matches .
It was because the fifth match was IM vs JAY .
Since JAY added Xiao Ran into the team, their popularity started to spike .
Afterwards, JAY took the stance of a giant dark horse and started to smash through the LSPL .
They smashed the ranked 3rd WYD and tormented the ranked 2nd YM .
Right now, JAY’s popularity was actually beyond some of the LPL teams .
JAY’s match was a match that every shoutcaster was willing to take on, as it allowed more people to know them .
Today’s first four matches didn’t have too many highlights and it was rather clear which teams would be the victor .
In a lukewarm atmosphere, the first four matches had ended .
Subsequently, Wawa, Mille, and Rita arrived at the shoutcasters’ desk and started to talk about the match that everyone was looking forward to .
“Hello everyone, I am Wawa and we are bringing you week 9’s situation for the LSPL . ”
Mille: “Last week, JAY had just defeated the ranked 2nd YM, using their Zz’Rot Portal + Banner of Command . It was truly a breathtaking match for all Esports players . ”
“That’s right!” Wawa continued: “Long Hair told me that even the Taiwan and foreign teams are asking about JAY . ”
(TL note: 长毛 – Long Hair is one of the notable shoutcasters too)
“Indeed, if everyone has been paying attention to JAY, they should know that since ‘God Kun’ joined the team, there has been a huge change to the team . ”
“For those who didn’t do their homework and underestimated the JAY Team which included ‘God Kun’ had all suffered their losses!”
Rita used her always sweet voice and rosy cheeks to speak with everyone .
Wawa laughed bitterly and said: “I feel that even those who did their homework and didn’t underestimate ‘God Kun’ have also suffered their losses right?”
Mille: “That’s right, the internet is now circulating with a rhyming couplet . The first half of the couplet is, ‘God Kun’s tactics are so deep, that I wish to return to my village to weep’ . The second half of the couplet is, “The village’s road is so slippery, but God Kun is still so dirty’ . ”
“Haha, I feel that this set of couplets are able to fully describe the feelings of WYD and YM’s team members . ”
“Especially that tactic of using Kalista and Sion . When I duo queued with Long Hair and picked those champions, everyone asked if we were playing the ‘Where is father?’ tactic . ”
Rita noticed that Wawa was getting increasingly excited as he spoke, therefore, she quickly pulled the conversation back to the main topic . ” Alright, the two teams have entered the stage and we are about to begin the fifth match for today . ”
