Chapter 5: Crashing into Super Power, Aiming for No. 1 in the Korean Server!
After suffering a defeat in a scrim with DRX, White Crescent has gradually taken the situation more seriously.
In the third game, a strategy was devised for the top, mid, and jungle to invade the enemy jungle at the start. Lin Jin played Aatrox and used a very aggressive Q3 flash to catch the enemy jungler.
Gao Tianliang secured the first kill.
"Awesome little fire!" Gao Tianliang's eyes lit up, his expression very cheerful.
DRX's jungle was overrun, and Gao Tianliang's Blade of the Ruined King gradually became a dragon. When he got his tenth kill, DRX typed GG.
The players and coaches were overjoyed to defeat DRX 2-1 in a practice match.
Aside from Dahuang, he only had a bitter smile and resentment.
If this continues, my starting position at the World Championship is really in jeopardy.
Lin Jin was also very happy. He had been playing in the training matches these past few days and had performed well. Based on this trend, he had a chance to become a starter.
However, the coaching staff has not yet been finalized, and no one can guarantee who will start.
After finishing the training match, Lin Jin immediately logged into his Korean server account.
Aiming for the top spot on the Korean server!
Chaowei is still not online. He has a 40-point deficit. If he's lucky, he can finish it in two games. If he's unlucky, it's hard to say.
Let's get started!
Lin Jin rolled up his sleeves, went to the restroom to clear his mind, grabbed his drink, and got ready to start queuing.
I've already reached second place in the Korean server; it takes a long time to rank up at this rank.
Lin Jin was also busy during this time, watching match videos of various Korean teams, as well as those from Europe and North America.
He especially remembers the amazing performance of the Rogue esports team in the S12 World Championship.
Twenty minutes later, it was my turn.
Lin Jin has locked onto the Sword Demon; he's going to carry this game.
However, his good fortune didn't last long. The mid-laner was a bit of a liability, getting solo-killed repeatedly and being the first to be eliminated in team fights.
Even if Lin Jin used all his skills, he could not prevent the two routes from being breached.
After another team wipe, the opposing team secured their second Baron Nashor.
Lin Jin gave a helpless wry smile: "Sigh, winning streaks aren't so easy to achieve."
He took a sip of his iced drink, exhaled, and after respawning, continued to push the bottom lane, placing a control ward above the dragon pit.
I freed up a slot and bought the last piece of equipment: a resurrection armor.
At 39 minutes into the game, all three lanes were breached, but the team managed to hold their high ground and barely manage a draw in the team fight. The remaining three members of the opposing team chose to play it safe and retreat.
Lin Jin found an opportunity, lit the signal, and teleported to the Dragon Pit!
He kept giving signals and shouting excitedly, even though his teammates couldn't hear him.
"Double-team! Double-team! Double-team!"
Lin Jin's Sword Demon transformed into a river god of war, slashing three opponents at once, leaving all of them alive. His teammates arrived and wiped out the entire enemy team.
They turned the tables.
The game lasted for forty-two minutes, and under the leadership of Lin Jin the Sword Demon, they won the game.
"Cool!"
Lin Jin couldn't help but stand up and wave his fist.
Completely unaware that Gao Tianliang and Jack were watching from behind, he was oblivious to what was happening behind him.
Gao Tianliang: "Wow, Xiao Huo, you're going to be number one in the Korean server!"
Jack's Hot Dance: "This flanking maneuver is good; the marketing accounts are about to start."
At this moment, right after Lin Jin won this comeback game, some streamers who were watching him went crazy and released all sorts of clips within a few minutes.
Marketing accounts went wild reposting it on Weibo, Hupu, Tieba and other forums, causing quite a stir.
"TESfire, aiming for number one in the Korean server! Awesome!"
"Amazing Aatrox, amazing comeback, TES really struck gold!"
"Top Esports' Huozi! Just one more game to reach the top of the Korean server!"
"Come quick, everyone! This is Huya room 4396!"
"Korean server number one! No matter who challenges, I'll be there to support them! Brothers, share this!"
Soon, Lin Jin's next ordinary ranked match attracted tens of thousands of online viewers.
The OB anchors are all exhausted from winning.
"For the viewers who have just come in, let me introduce you to our Fire, TESfire, an 18-year-old young player who is currently a substitute top laner."
"I played two games in the Summer Split. I'm quite skilled; I can play both warriors and tanks."
"Currently ranked 1682 points in the Korean server, less than 20 points behind the top Korean server player, Chaowei."
"We've got a high probability of winning this round!"
Then, everyone saw that Chaowei's account was also online.
"Holy crap, Chaowei can't hold back anymore, he's going to fight."
"Haha, I'm not playing on my alt account anymore, I'm playing on my main account now, I feel the pressure."
"I'm afraid that the more they fight, the more they'll lose, and then Brother Huo will just win without lifting a finger."
"Go Huozi! You'll definitely win this round!"
"Huh? Everyone's in line, are they going to all be in the same line?"
"That's actually quite possible..."
Fifteen minutes later, it was my turn.
Lin Jin was on the red team, and he was the last to pick.
Since it was a match to try and reach the top of the Korean server, his teammates were very interested. Gao Tianliang and Jack Lawu even slid their chairs next to him and watched with snacks in hand.
Jack, scrolling through his phone, had a strange expression on his face: "Superman is on the other side."
"Haha, Little Fire, are you feeling any pressure?"
Gao Tianliang: "Are they really lined up together?"
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Lin Jin shrugged: "Just do it."
Gao Tianliang: "Awesome."
At this moment, the various OB streamers excitedly changed their titles:
"Top Esports' Huozi Bro surges to the top of the Korean server rankings, only to be matched against Chaowei!"
"A head-to-head showdown: Fire vs. Superpower!"
"An unknown rookie? No! A battle to slay gods!"
Everyone remarked that regardless of whether Top Esports' Huozi Ge plays in future matches, he has already become a sensation.
At this moment, Lin Jin was focused on the game and didn't care about public opinion.
The overpowered champion Aatrox was banned, and the opposing team picked Fiora. Lin Jin looked at the team composition and picked Camille at the last minute.
Camille vs. Fiora is a classic matchup.
Superway defeated the Tsar, securing victory through a steady and methodical approach.
From the very beginning, Lin Jin's Camille was being pressured and beaten, especially at level one.
He remained calm and moved the minion wave to a favorable position.
Although he was under pressure, he managed to land every last hit, though he lost a little health.
Both of them reached level two at the same time. Just then, he controlled Camille's E wall and used the second E to kick her.
Fiora hadn't learned W by level 2 and got kicked, taking a heavy hit.
Then, with a combo of AQA, Fiora's health dropped significantly.
I can't beat them in lane.
Lin Jin continued his aggressive push, gaining a decisive advantage after reaching level three, and Fiora was almost driven out of the experience zone.
The commentator shouted:
"Wow, that's awesome! Camille can suppress Fiora at level 2."
"Brother Huo is going to carry this game."
"Godlike Camille, Huozi Bro reaches number one in the Korean server! This is the most awesome show ever!"
However, Superpower is still fierce.
In a mid-lane team fight at 15 minutes, Chaowei used his ultimate to push three enemies away and secured a triple kill.
The Tsar's equipment was completed ahead of schedule.
Dangerous.
Jack, rocking his chair behind him, said:
"This is going to be tough. We're not that far behind, but our lineups are much worse."
Gao Tianliang nodded: "Yeah, with your early game lineup, you're not only at a disadvantage but also behind, making it difficult to win later."
"The Tsar is going to carry the team."
