Sorry, Stuck Again [Esports] Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Pei Yun Chang was competing today, and Wang Ge also had a match this morning, leaving Bian Yan without a companion to watch the game with. He quietly found a seat for himself in the audience.

"Nova!"

From a distance, someone called his name in a low voice.

Bian Yan looked up, and it was Pan Shi.

"Brother Shi, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be backstage?" Bian Yan asked in surprise.

Pan Shi crouched down and sat next to him, puffing out his chest with a hearty tone, "Of course, I'm here to keep you company. How could you manage alone?"

Watching from backstage allows you to hear the players' exchanges and the coach's tactical guidance, providing a deeper understanding of the match process.

Since Bian Yan wasn't registered, he naturally couldn't get in, but Pan Shi had given up this opportunity as well. A warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Oh, right, here."

Pan Shi suddenly remembered something, pulling out a support headband from his pocket. The crooked letters "A-R-R-O-W" flickered on and off with a faulty LED light.

Bian Yan gave him a questioning look.

"Brother Pei glued it with hot melt glue all night and asked me to bring it to you, saying it's a limited edition for his number one fan."

Wouldn't he get beaten up by Bian Yan for this?

Although Pan Shi didn't understand, he relayed the message truthfully.

Bian Yan took the headband, pressing the wobbly letters with his fingers, finding it amusing. He could already imagine someone's arrogant tone.

Shoddily made, and it took all night to make this?

On stage, they were nervously adjusting the equipment, while Pei Yun Chang's fans gathered below, holding up banners, creating a bit of chaos.

"What hero will Brother Pei play today?" Pan Shi turned to ask Bian Yan.

Bian Yan recalled last night's dinner. He had asked Pei Yun Chang the same question, only to receive the answer, "You'll find out tomorrow."

"I don't know," Bian Yan answered honestly.

"How come you don't know either?" Pan Shi asked in surprise.

Bian Yan pointed to himself, "Is it strange that I don't know?"

Pan Shi said with a serious tone, "If you don't know, then no one does."

As they chatted, the match began.

Flash was the core of the decision-making, and he had to gain an advantage to win, so he picked his signature hero, Hunter, right from the start.

The bullet screen was scrolling rapidly—

—Hunter again! This is going to be interesting!

—Number one on the ladder with his signature hero, what will Arrow pick?

—Betting on Flower Bow, signature against signature is the real deal!

Lao Miao reminded the team in the mic, "Whenever Flash plays Hunter, he's super good at surviving, with an incredibly high survival rate. He'd rather not get kills than die easily. Very hard to catch."

The second mid-laner in the country repeated "very hard to catch" twice, which was a high evaluation of Flash.

WIN's three players had chosen their heroes, leaving only Pei Yun Chang and Lu Chang Kong.

The female commentator analyzed the situation on-site, "Flash, a veteran player, has brought out his long-time partner, Hunter! As the rising star, what will Arrow choose to counter?"

"Alright, we can see the bullet screen going crazy, and the fans are all pointing to one hero—Flower Bow!" The male commentator further hyped up the atmosphere, "Will Arrow choose Flower Bow? Let's look at the big screen!"

"Brother Pei, should I take Ye Ling?" Lu Chang Kong's finger hovered over the mouse.

Ye Ling is currently the best support for Flower Bow.

"No, take Time Wheel," Pei Yun Chang said confidently.

Lu Chang Kong asked incredulously, "Are you sure? Time Wheel can't protect Flower Bow."

"Who said I'm taking Flower Bow?" Pei Yun Chang glanced at him calmly.

On the big screen, Lu Chang Kong locked in Time Wheel.

Below the stage.

Pan Shi was puzzled about what Lu Chang Kong was up to, "Why is Red Hair taking Time Wheel? Wasn't he practicing Ye Ling yesterday? Does he really want to get pelted with rotten eggs by the fans?"

Bian Yan looked at the lit-up Time Wheel avatar, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, but it was too quick to grasp.

Everyone's eyes were on the hero frame next to Pei Yun Chang's ID, the only one left unchosen among the ten players.

Pei Yun Chang moved the mouse, skillfully scrolling through the hero pool, and without hesitation, locked in the familiar character at the bottom.

It was Curse Star.

With a "bang" locking sound, the system's female voice began to announce—

Selection complete, entering the final adjustment phase!

"Curse Star! He chose Curse Star!" The male commentator's voice was hoarse with excitement, "Is Arrow being arrogant, or is he asking for trouble?!"

Flash's Hunter had many survival skills, high mobility, and fast farming speed, so the best choice when laning against him was a steady shooter.

Just like the previous match, under Pei Yun Chang's suggestion, Bian Yan took Silver Moon, using the long range to develop steadily, effectively countering.

At the very least, one should choose a similar hero with high survival and fast farming speed, using magic to defeat magic, competing in skills.

But definitely not like Pei Yun Chang, taking Curse Star, a hero with strong initiation, to go head-to-head, which could end up with neither killing the other nor developing properly.

The "bullet screen teachers" also started giving advice—

—Report! The database shows Arrow's Curse Star only has a small village mark, with a power level below five thousand!

—As expected of a newcomer, really naive, the opponent is the current number one marksman.

—Going head-to-head! Honey, you're going to kill me with your handsomeness! What kind of novel plot is this?! So cool!

—The person above is too much, not recommended to follow blindly~

The moment Bian Yan saw Curse Star, he instantly understood where the earlier odd feeling came from.

Lu Chang Kong's initial choice of Time Wheel was the best support for Curse Star at this stage, no wonder last night when Bian Yan asked him, Pei Yun Chang had a sly look and told him to wait and see today.

Suddenly, the surroundings felt chilly, and Bian Yan sensed a few sharp glances from Pan Shi, making him laugh and cry, raising his hands above his head.

"It's really not my fault…"

Pan Shi gave Bian Yan a genuine look, sarcastically saying, "Not taking Flower Bow but Curse Star, I wonder whose signature hero that is~"

On stage.

Flash confidently opened the mic, "Chen, don't worry about me, he can't kill me."

Having played professionally for so long, countless people wanted to cut him down to defeat the decision-making, but the number of successful ones could be counted on one hand.

The breakthrough point for the decision-making was never him.

Lu Chang Kong and Pei Yun Chang quickly went online, meeting Flash on the development path.

After quickly clearing the line with penetration, Pei Yun Chang didn't continue to farm the small jungle, directly tanking the tower damage and shuttling to Flash's face, immediately following up with a strengthened basic attack!

Just like the first time Bian Yan played Curse Star against him!

Only this time, the operator was Pei Yun Chang.

Seeing the familiar scene, Bian Yan's fingertips unconsciously rubbed his burning earlobe, his mouth uncontrollably curving up, the plastic edge of the headband's touch still lingering.

Flash was hit twice, losing half his health, and could only retreat under the tower to heal, causing a burst of exclamations from the audience.

The female commentator also timely added, "Perhaps due to the hero's mechanics, this rising star's playstyle seems particularly aggressive, how will Flash handle it?"

After finishing the state, Pei Yun Chang retreated to farm the small jungle, continuing to build his economy.

Meanwhile, good news came from the mid lane, Lao Miao had solo killed the opposing Yi Chen and was moving towards the bottom lane.

"Lao Miao, camp in the river and ambush the jungler, he might come to fill the line," Pei Yun Chang reminded in the mic.

"Need help?"

"No need."

Seeing Yi Chen dead, Flash immediately shrank under the tower, not coming out, while the opposing support and jungler were blocked in the river by Lao Miao and Self.

The development path was isolated and helpless.

"Hiding under the tower is useful?"

Pei Yun Chang sneered, his lowered eyes flickering with cold killing intent.

He preemptively charged his passive in the grass, seizing the opportunity to flash and stun Flash, successfully applying penetration.

"Curse Star's flash needs to time the 0.3-second stiffness," Bian Yan demonstrated with the mouse in memory, "like this."

Bian Yan's mouth curved up, learning quite fast.

As Pei Yun Chang attacked, Lu Chang Kong reacted quickly, actively tanking a few tower shots, the enhanced basic attack penetrating the tower's blue light!

Pei Yun Chang completed the first kill amidst the barrage of bullet screens, swaggering back to base with a sliver of health.

"So aggressive!"

The male commentator's voice was highly provocative, stirring up the audience's atmosphere, "There's no damage that can't be dealt, only marksmen who don't dare to operate! Using the least health to make the boldest plays, is this the new generation's genius marksman's understanding?!"

—Honey, you're so handsome I'm out of health!

—What kind of esports novel is this?! If you can survive, I'll specifically target you, and make you die under your own tower!

—He even stopped Lao Miao from coming to help, does anyone understand?

As everyone knows, Flash is the core of the decision-making, to defeat the decision-making, one must focus on the other four, but Arrow insists on tearing a hole from Flash!

Stubborn and proud!

Without Flash, the decision-making was like a toothless tiger, the other two lanes were also being crushed by WIN, and Pei Yun Chang's economy snowballed bigger and bigger.

At eight minutes, the opposing vision disappeared completely, and Pei Yun Chang went alone to the bottom lane to clear the line.

"Be careful of the opposing mage," Lao Miao reminded.

Pei Yun Chang didn't respond, maintaining distance while clearing the line, but suddenly three opponents emerged from the bush, with Flash leading the charge!

"Damn, Brother Pei, hold on! The shield is up in three seconds!" Lu Chang Kong rushed through the jungle towards the development path, anxiously trying to meet up with Pei Yun Chang.

"Come back quickly, the healing spell is ready too!"

But this person didn't hold back against the opponents, activating his ultimate and diving into the crowd!

"Oh my, is this still a marksman that needs protection?"

The female commentator was shocked, speaking rapidly, "Three opponents, with the support still behind, a normal marksman would either run or maneuver a bit to wait for support, but Arrow just charged right in!"

—Damn, soloing the development path!!

—Reckless life! If you're not convinced, fight!

—Who understands, that turn back was really handsome!

—No, isn't turning back at this point just giving up?

—Open your eyes, Arrow hasn't died this game, focus on watching your Pei dad's operation!

Bian Yan also felt a bit nervous for Pei Yun Chang, no matter how confident, you don't play like this, right? When he played Curse Star, he wasn't this aggressive, was he?

Halfway through his complaint, Bian Yan suddenly remembered the last match he had with Pei Yun Chang…

It seemed, it was quite aggressive.

Bian Yan covered his face and laughed silently.

Pei Yun Chang operated Curse Star, dodging countless skills, understanding the principle of picking the weakest target first, killing the lowest health mage first!

The screen was filled with red numbers, Pei Yun Chang was lucky, landing critical hits with every shot, basically two shots per kill, the mage and support were the first to fall.

Flash, frustrated the whole game, was determined to take Pei Yun Chang down with him, even if it meant dying.

In the end, Curse Star successfully secured a triple kill in the bottom lane, perishing with the opponents.

The four teammates took advantage of the opponent's lack of players, directly pushing through the decision-making.

"First game, WIN wins, MVP is WIN-Arrow!" The male commentator excitedly announced the result, "Total record of 8-0-1, accounting for 42% of the team's output!"

As the golden rain fell, Pei Yun Chang took off his headset, hanging it around his neck.

The blue light from the big screen cut a line of light and shadow on his side face, his gaze cold and determined.

"Everyone, just received an application, the decision-making team has chosen to forfeit the second match. Now I announce, the winner of the seventh round of the round-robin tournament—WIN!"

The female commentator tilted her head, holding her earpiece, her tone high.

The audience erupted in a wave of cheers like a tsunami, shattering the venue, while Pei Yun Chang simply gazed at a flickering red dot—

It was the faulty LED light on Bian Yan's headband, flickering like a falling star.

"WIN! Arrow!"

Someone in the audience shouted.

In an instant, Pei Yun Chang identified the owner of the voice, smiling as he stood up, his gentle gaze falling on the headband on that person's head.

Bian Yan's gaze crossed countless raised support sticks, clearly capturing the smile on Pei Yun Chang's face.

At this moment, the smile on that person's lips was magnified in slow motion—

"Teacher Bian, how did I do?"

Bian Yan slightly tilted his head, his Adam's apple involuntarily moving up and down, his face expressionless, but ripples had already formed in his heart.

Pan Shi was startled by Bian Yan suddenly standing up, looking up in surprise to find that Bian Yan had somehow already put on the crooked headband.

…
