The comments started flooding the screen the moment Wanan said that.
[Look at her acting cool and all that.]
[She's so cool ahahahaha!! Someone tell me her streaming ID. I want to follow her!]
[Isn't Wanan a bit too hot-headed this time? Although it really is triggering to be ganked so many times, there is no benefit for her to anger the enemy's jungler... Won't he gank her even more?]
"I think this comment is right, "Lil Meatbun rubs his chin and touches his double chin. He is even in the mood to pinch it a couple of times as he continues, "It's a scary thing to anger a jungler."
"Lil Meatbun." Pei Lu calls him all of a sudden.
"Hm?"
Pei Lu smiles at him, "This is why I always need to give you orders during a match."
Lil Meatbun asks, "What do you mean?"
"You're quite similar to this guy. Your playstyle is a bit impulsive."
"???" Lil Meatbun is unhappy, "What do you mean 'quite similar'? I'm personally offended!"
Pei Lu puts his palms together and owns up to his mistake, clearly without a single ounce of sincerity.
He shifts his gaze back onto the monitor with a smile that remains on his lips.
"How dare she mock you..." Meowmeow frowns and acts as if she is filled with righteous indignation, "This is a live stream. Isn't she going overboard?"
No. 1 Guy is already a bit embarrassed. With Meowmeow here adding oil to the fire, he gets even angrier.
He forces out a smile, but there is no hint of a smile in his eyes at all, "You guys get ready. I'll finish a camp and continue to gank bot lane."
The rest of the four teammates keep silent after Mu Wanwan's mockery, no one speaking a single word.
The only thing in their team's jungler's mind is how exceptionally loud Wanan's keyboard is as she hits the keys.
He feels as if she will ask, "Hey bro, are you feeling happy for throwing the game?" if he does not do something.
Therefore, he asks carefully, "I'll come help you with a gank at the bottom lane. How long until your ultimate?"
Mu Wanwan replies icily, "No need."
The jungler replies obediently, "Okay."
He did not want to throw the game initially. Mu Wanwan is a pretty young lady; he even wants to ask her for her WeChat.
However, not only did the No. 1 Guy talk to him privately, even Meowmeow looked for him too... After weighing the pros and cons of whether to help them or not, he decided that there were more pros for him if he threw the game.
He did not think Wanan would be this tough, not giving him any face.
Despite Mu Wanwan rejecting his request to gank, he decides to still go to the bottom lane.
Unexpectedly, he hears Mu Wanwan asking just as he moves downwards.
"Why are you still here? Go up."
"...Okay."
The first tower is finally destroyed. Mu Wanwan retreats and focuses on farming for a while before she sees the enemy's Nami running to the front.
Nami has a lot of defensive skills, enough for her to dare to stand in front of an under-farmed ADC and do what she wants.
Twitch pings on the map, asking Nami to return to base, but she does not move. Twitch changes his view to see what is going on and sees Nami moving her body and begins dancing in front of Jhin.
Mu Wanwan merely glances at her and continues to kill the waves of minions.
After dancing for nearly 20 seconds without inciting and response from Mu Wanwan, Meowmeow finds it pointless and turns around to return to her base.
The first team fight is triggered in the middle lane.
As if she has a hunch, she walks straight to the wolf camp near the first tower and hides in a nearby bush.
She asks without any excess words, "Fighting?"
Her team's top laner replies almost instantly, "Fight."
Mu Wanwan activates her ultimate immediately to initiate the team fight.
Two out of four bullets hit a target without vision, and one lands on Nami, who is in her vision.
And in an instant, three enemies are debuffed by the slow effect.
At TS's base, even Mu Tou, who usually does not speak much, speaks up, "She is very good at choosing the right timing to use her ultimate."
"It's true. I recall Chen He playing Jhin last timeー Hmph, his Jhin has no bullets," Just as Lil Meatbun finishes his sentence, he lets out a confused "huh?" as he watches on, "Why is she... leaving right after she used her ultimate??"
On the monitor, Jhin, who has just shot out all four bullets, turns around and goes straight to the top lane without even looking back.
The team fight at the middle lane continues lively as Jhin clears the minions at the top lane alone.
Lil Meatbun comments, "Wanan will probably be swamped by her anti-fans if they lose this team fight..."
Just as he finishes his sentence, they heard a clear "Double Kill!"
"Triple Kill!"
The top laner in Wanan's team is Renekton, and he is going on a killing spree!
No. 1 Guy was too focused on ganking the bottom lane and neglected the top lane during the early game, and since the jungler who promised to help him by not helping Mu Wanwan had nowhere to go except to the top laneーRenekton is extremely well-geared now.
"Quadra Kill!"
Only Nami, who has strong escape skills, managed to escape.
At this moment, the game announces that the second tower has been destroyed. Mu Wanwan turns around and hides in the bush immediately after destroying the tower and begins to return to her base by pressing B.
The blue team ends up winning the team fight and destroying the enemy's second tower at the top lane.
And due to the sufficient time given to Jhin, his equipment is gradually taking shape. It is undoubtedly a win for the team.
Brother Yang laughs, "Do you know why Xiao-Lu said that you're similar to No. 1 Guy now?"
Lil Meatbun is honest, "I don't know."
Pei Lu is quiet for a moment.
And then, Pei Lu explains after taking a mouthful of the yoghurt drink in his hand, "Wanan was intentionally provoking the jungler. It was pretty much decided then that the bottom lane was gone, so there is no use even if anyone goes and helps her, so her teammates might as well help the other lanes to increase their advantages. She knows that Rekneton can take on three. That was why she went to the top lane to clear the minion waves."
However, Wanan's provoking words probably included much of her personal feelings as well.
The blue team is already nearing the enemy's last line of defence in no time.
There is no stopping a top laner who can both tank and deal damage accompanied by a support. The enemies drop one by one without much resistance.
Soon, the last towers are destroyed, and only the home crystal is left.
All of a sudden, Reknekton pings an "on the way" signal at the enemy's base.
In their voice chat, the top laner asks, "Since bottom lane was bullied so bad just now, do you wanna revenge on them–"
Before he even finishes his though, he already sees Jhin throwing out a lotus flower trap. He even takes damage from the fountain due to the lack of range in that skills, which takes half his health.
Nami is still turning rounds non-stop in her base's healing fountain when she steps unguardedly onto the lotus flower.
It is quickly followed up by Mu Wanwan's W skill, locking Nami on the spot.
Renekton follows closely behind and stuns Nami before she can use her Q. Mu Wanwan lands three auto-attack on her, taking her life directly.
A perfect fountain dive.
In the end, Jhin destroys the enemy's crystal, and the Blue team wins.
Comments from the audience start flooding in again.
[...How is it that I find watching this match more exciting than the Spring tournament when there isn't even a commentator?]
[I can already imagine what kinds of titles will be attached to videos from this match. For example: How to teach a jungler who targets you a lesson.]
[Or for example: Dancing will lead to you breaking your legs.]
[The MVP of this match is Renekton, yet you guys are praising Wanan? I bet you guys are paid to do that. It's one thing to win, but what's with that fountain dive? Low-class.]
[Who were the ones who forcefully focused on her first, and who was the one dancing? Tell me, who was acting low-class first? Are you blind?]
...
Mu Wanwan has no idea of the storm she has caused in the comment section.
She lets out a big breath after taking off her headphones.
She is about to lose it after being targeted forcibly for 15 minutes.
A mic is pushed right next to her mouth when she stands up. If not for her quick reflexes, she is sure the mic would have knocked into her mouth.
Admin03 smiles, "Congratulations, Wanan!"
Mu Wanan smiles superficially, "Thanks."
"Everyone has realised that because the other team is afraid of you, they were placing their focus on the bottom lane. Thankfully, you played very well against the pressure and ultimately won the game. Can you share with us how you did it?"
"I don't know how to play against pressure."
The admin is stunned for a second, "But you were performing really well just now."
"How so? I even fed the enemy twice during the early game."
The admin feels a bit speechless about how thick-skinned she is. Can't she just take the compliment as it is?
"Then, do you have anything you wish to tell the audience?"
"Yeah," Mu Wanwan smiles towards the camera, "my stream's room number is 3366."
And with that, she nods and says, "That's all I have to say. You can go and interview other players."
She does not wait for the Admin to respond before she waves at the camera and leaves.
Lin Jiu quickly runs to Mu Wanwan when she walks down the stage and throws her arm around her shoulder with a big smile.
"I can't believe you just dived her in the fountain. Aren't you afraid of those anti-fans spamming you? I can already imagine how the comment section will turn out in your stream."
Mu Wanwan smiles, too, "I always keep my word."
The BattleCatTV Streamers Tournament officially ends after the prize ceremony.
Having received quite a bit of prize money, Mu Wanwan treats Lin Jiu to a good barbeque meal.
The juicy meat is placed on the grill, making the delicious sound of meat cooking.
Mu Wanwan randomly picks up a slice of meat with a pair of tongs, wanting to put it in her mouth.
"Hey, that's not cooked yet!" Lin Jiu stops her immediately.
"Oh." Mu Wanwan stops looking at her phone and picks up another slice of meat absent-mindedly.
Lin Jiu is puzzled, "What are you looking at? I don't even see you touching the screen."
"...Nothing."
Mu Wanwan takes another glance at her phone.
The screen shows the phone number Pei Lu has left her. Since she has added the number to her contact list, there is a friend notification on her WeChat.
Even if she does not join TS... maybe they can still play together sometime?
**
At TS's base, Pei Lu and Brother Yang are sitting in front of a big monitor in an office.
It is currently playing a playback video from a stream from BattleCatTV's room number 3366.
The video is playing the most exciting team fight of that matchーVayne timed her E perfectly and rolled forward, shooting the enemy AD against the stone wall next to the little dragon. She then used A, followed by Q to move to the side, successfully dodging a hook from the enemy Thresh.
"She has excellent controls. She is also aware of the front and back line well during team fights."
Before Pei Lu can reply, he sees Vayne turning around immediately after she kills the AD, wanting to kill Thresh as well.
...The result is: the enemy jungler rushed to join the team fight, and Vayne died in the enemy's jungle zone.
Seeing Brother Yang's look of disgust, Pei Lu lets out a light laugh.
He then says, "She likes to go crazy when the game is going well. Those games don't usually end well."
"You've researched her before?"
"...Yeah, I've seen a couple of her games." Pei Lu is too embarrassed to admit that he has watched her stream's playback the night before.
Brother Yang stands up suddenly, fishes out his phone and looks like he wants to walk out of the office.
Pei Lu asks, "You're not watching anymore?"
"I'll watch the rest next time," Brother Yang scrolls through his contact list, "I need to think of a way to trick her into coming here first."
(PR/N: OMG! PEI LUUUUUU!!! Bring her there!!!)
Hehehe, she won! Take that meowmeow!
