I’m an Olympic Superstar - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: What Is a Support Evelynn Like You Roaming Around For!
When Chen He saw Xiao Ran locking in the champion, he asked with a dissatisfied tone, “Evelynn? What are you doing? Are you trying to play double junglers?”
“Nope, I am playing support.” Xiao Ran answered as though it was normal.
“Support Evelynn?” Chen He laughed, “I didn’t hear it wrongly right?”
Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and replied in the voice chat, “Of course, my Support Evelynn is incredible.”
“Keke…” Chen He let out laughter with a deep meaning.
Misaya frowned and spoke in a heavy voice, “Baby, you just need to play safely at the bottom lane. Wait for me and Chen He to assist you.”
Misaya didn’t point it out directly, but his meaning was very obvious: This ‘Kun Shen’ is a fool, so don’t expect him to support you properly!
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes and didn’t bother about Misaya.
In his heart, he was a rising star and Misaya was just a host trying to survive after he retired.
Although Misaya still had a lot of fame and he was earning good money in hosting, he was still a retired player. Xiao Ran thought he should still respect Misaya a little and tried not to provoke Misaya.
Hmph, I shall not lower myself to your level!
“Baby, you have to be careful at the bottom lane.” Chen He added on another harsh comment.
According to what had happened until now, Baby had to admit that Xiao Ran was indeed a huge carry for the previous match, furthermore, he was invited by her. She ought to be standing on Xiao Ran’s side and speaking for him.
But right now, her mind was in a blank state.
Could Evelynn be used to play support?
Is this a mistake?!
But he had also used something weird in the previous match and played Jungler Twitch.
Is Support Evelynn also a kind of strategy?
Baby felt that her intelligence was seriously not enough, as such, she chose to stay silent…
After entering the loading screen, the viewers in the streaming room burst out in roaring laughter.
“I’m dead. Host, you are just trying to tease our Baby, right?”
“I thought that host is trying to play double jungler with Evelynn. I didn’t expect him to actually be playing support!”
“My urinate leaked out from all the laughing. Support Evelynn, I give full marks!”
“Support Evelynn. I have seen many weird combinations, but I have never seen one that is so brainless!”
“I have made a screenshot. Later on, I will send the screenshot to my classmates and let them know that I am a normal person. This Support Evelynn is true stupidity!”
“All of you shouldn’t talk like this. Didn’t my great Kun Shen did something weird and picked the Jungler Twitch too?”
“Hahaha, I am dying. If EDG’s Clearlove knows that his favorite Evelynn is used to play support, wouldn’t he vomit blood from depression? Hahahaha…”
“I am looking forward to seeing if host came up with some new strategy!!”
…
Xiao Ran didn’t bother about the mockery from the viewers, instead, he used the loading time to observe the team composition of the two teams.
Allies: Top Riven (Liu Siyu), Mid LeBlanc (Misaya), Jungler Wukong (Chen He), ADC Jinx (Baby), Support Evelynn (Xiao Ran).
Opposition: Top Shen, Mid Karma, Jungler Hecarim, ADC Jhin, Support Thresh.
The opposition’s team composition was obviously a competition line up.
In terms of team composition, the opposition was completely superior.
But in Xiao Ran’s opinion, it was completely irrelevant.
“Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!”
The stimulating female system voice echoed and everyone entered the game.
“Level 1 team fight, GO GO GO!” Chen He shouted out with excitement.
Xiao Ran let out an uninterested expression and immediately refused, “Not fighting.”
“Why not?” Chen He sounded a little angry, “The opposition has Thresh. Even if we didn’t fight a level 1 team fight, they might just come over to gank us. Why not take a risk?”
Misaya hesitated for a moment and said, “Forget it. It will be good if we didn’t fight a level 1 team fight. The opposition’s team composition is better than us. No one will be able to stop a level 1 Karma’s burst power too.”
“Alright then. Let’s go to our respective lanes.”
Chen He didn’t give any regards to Xiao Ran’s words, but since Misaya had said the same thing, it meant that this level 1 team fight must not be fought.
Xiao Ran muttered for a moment and said, “Don’t go to the lanes. Form a snake line formation and defend the jungle area.”
“En?” Chen He knitted his brows. He had just said to go to their respective lanes, but Xiao Ran asked them not to.
What is the meaning of this? Is he trying to smack my face?
“What is a snake line formation? I’ve never heard of it.” Chen He didn’t start jungling and was a little frustrated by this ‘Kun Shen’.
On the contrary, Baby’s BFF, Liu Siyu asked with a rather interested tone, “Speak clearly. What formation? Where do we stand?”
Before Xiao Ran replied, Misaya took over and explained, “It is for each person to guard an important entry point of the jungle area and seal off all paths. On the mini-map, it will look like a line, hence the name, snake line.”
After finishing the explanation, Misaya looked pensively at that Evelynn on the map.
I didn’t think that this kid actually knows how to use the snake line formation to prevent the opposition from invading the jungle area. He should be rather competent, right?
As Misaya was contemplating, he started to ping the mini-map in various areas.
“Everyone standby at the positions that I have pinged and pay attention to the opposition. If there is any anomaly, immediately retreat.”
The snake line formation was very common and it was a generic way to start the game in a defensive formation. It wasn’t as high-level as normal players think.
But this formation was simple, crude, and could achieve an excellent result!
Just as they stood by in their positions, five imposing champions appeared out of a corner!
The five enemy champions appeared closest to Baby.
The opposition’s Thresh tossed out his hook without a word.
Swish!
“Baby, retreat from the jungle area and back to the lane.” Xiao Ran spoke in a composed manner.
Xiao Ran didn’t have to calculate the Thresh’s hook. He took a glance and understood that this Thresh would have to Flash hook and had to do it in a tricky angle, otherwise, it wouldn’t hit its target.
“Damn it, I didn’t hook anything.” Thresh cursed out softly.
Immediately after, the five enemy champions headed back to their own jungle area and vanished into the fog of war.
Baby let out a breath of relief in her heart after seeing the five opposing champions leaving.
Without the hidden threat, everyone felt extremely at ease.
Just in case, before every game, Xiao Ran would replenish all the frequently used cards.
After seeing Baby returning to lane safely, Xiao Ran silently used the [God’s Vision] card.
Suddenly, the entire mini-map’s fog of war had vanished. Every move of the enemy champions was exposed to Xiao Ran’s eyes.
“Hey, where are you going? Hurry up and help me with the red buff!” Chen He was stunned when he realized that Evelynn was moving further away on the mini-map.
After seeing Evelynn’s movements, Chen He was exasperated, “What are you trying to do? Counter jungle? Without Smite, how are you going to counter jungle?!”
