    Fight back

    He Chen took the eye fatigue-relieving solution from Qiao Zhi, opened it, and explained disapprovingly: “I was staring at the screen a little too closely just now, maybe it was too close.”

    Lin An saw that he kept the eyelids open and tried the dripping two or three times without getting it in, so he took over without saying a word.

    “Close your eyes and relax.”

    He Chen: “…”

    In front of other people, this move was indeed a bit ambiguous.

    The staff came over to urge him to play, but He Chen couldn’t waste any more time, so he could only let him move with a burning face.

    Lin An’s fingertips were covered with a thin layer of calluses, and when he opened his eyelids, the touch was far from comfortable.

    But he moved carefully, and the cool medicine dripped into his eyes. He Chen subconsciously moved his eyes, but Lin An softly stopped him.

    “Don’t blink and keep doing this for a while.”

    Immediately, He Chen felt him blowing gently on his eyes.

    Until he came on stage, the pink color on Hechen’s ears did not fade even a little.

    This game must be prepared for a full BO5. The half-time is very short, and there is almost no time for the coach to make tactical adjustments.

    Even though Lin An said he would give it a try, Lao Tao couldn’t completely rest assured.

    “I actually don’t quite understand…” Qiao Zhi was confused, “Will Captor be stronger than Green and Royal? Now they have only lost one game, so it shouldn’t matter. The second round is a double elimination, as long as BO5 can win three games. It doesn’t look like the situation is too critical at the moment. Why are you so anxious?”

    “It is true that their comprehensive strength is not as good as that of several established and strong teams. The problem lies in the other team’s proficiency with our players.” Old Qiao had a cold face, and his mood was very unpleasant at first sight. “For example, do you think we can go all out in a practice match with other teams?”

    “Of course not.” Qiao Zhi replied.

    “To the outside world, what we show is that we are mature in training and have a hidden side. But behind closed doors, our teammates are clear about the little habits and tricks we use during training.”

    “Especially for players with a keen sense of smell like them, they know their teammates no less or even more than they know themselves.” Lao Tao frowned and stared at his own players on the screen. “After all, there are some things that are obvious to all bystanders. For example, in the game just now, Captor took advantage of the fact that FP players like to pursue victory and lure the enemy deeper.”

    When BP started, Lao Tao and Qiao Zhi looked at the guide station and stopped talking.

    “How to play this game?” Fade asked.

    Several Captor players were still frightened by Lin An’s one-on-three extreme hedging in the last game, so they immediately banned Lin An’s usual role.

    Lin An didn’t care about this. His common characters have been targeted by various studies all year round, and there are people who specialize in learning his playing style frame by frame. He has long been accustomed to it.

    He was still worried about Hechen’s eyes, “Will it still hurt? I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup when it’s over.”

    He Chen shook his head, “Don’t worry about me.”.

    Lin An confirmed that the blood in his eyes had indeed faded a bit, reluctantly nodded and answered Fade’s question.

    “You just need to fight normally. I have an idea. Let’s give it a try with control.”

    Venus was careful and couldn’t help but remind him, “It’s the second game. If we lose this one… you also know what we are going to face, so it’s better to be cautious.”

    Lin An clapped his fingers twice, not sure if he heard it or not, “Let’s go, let’s start the drawing.”

    In the second game, it was still the ice map.

    Based on the previous experience, Captor is in a very fierce situation and must fight for every inch of territory.

    Lin An’s commonly used high-damage jungle characters were all banned by the opponent, but Lin An didn’t seem to care much and chose a very technically difficult character – Mountain Ghost.

    “If someone comes to the mountains, he will be picked up by flowers and take a girl with him.” [1]

    A beautiful mountain ghost wearing a stone orchid and a Du Heng on her waist rides on a red mountain leopard and nimbly walks through the icebergs.

    This choice was completely unexpected by everyone at Captor, and they couldn’t figure out what Lin An was thinking.

    But no matter what, their mid laner and jungler chose a balanced offensive and defensive role in this game. No matter how talented Lin An is, it is not easy to recreate a one-on-three scene in the middle with Shangui.

    Playing on the ice map is a matter of seconds. Except for Applejack, Captor maintained his style in the previous game, and everyone else chose an offensive role. They could not withstand the long-term erosion of the ice sheet, so they no longer hesitated and continued to advance.

    Coco frowned, “They came up and banned all the important characters for us. It was clear that they wanted to beat us. Why should we go along with their wishes during the Pick session?”

    Venus did have some clues. He glanced at Lin An from the corner of his eye and said nothing.

    Is Lin An a fool?

    Of course not.

    “Don’t face a stalemate, dig for props.”

    Blue charged forward and faced Fade directly.

    The kudzu vines grew suddenly everywhere, and the green vines wrapped around Blue in layers, and he pulled hard——

    Blue’s thrust stalled for a second, just long enough for Fade to use his blade.

    There was no fluctuation in Lin An’s voice, “Leave it to me head-on, and you can continue to use the props.”

    “When will we stop digging?” Fade was forced to grow weakly and was extremely depressed.

    Lin An’s second skill blocked Blue for only two seconds. The two people exchanged positions, and Blue reluctantly activated the skill——

    The dark green kudzu vines broke in response.

    “Until the contract is issued.” Lin An aimed at the opportunity, and the red leopard stamped his feet and rushed forward.

    Green slurry exploded in mid-air.

    And Lin An just wanted Blue’s impulse at this moment.

    Red Leopard growled, the leopard’s eyes locked on Blue’s, dangerous eyes flashing.

    Kudzu activated again, and the spikes penetrated Blue’s body——

    Blue’s health bar dropped by a third in an instant.

    Xiaojie whispered: “Beautiful!”

    “G God is G God,” Si Si sighed with a smile, “In this confrontation situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, every operation of Gloam is extremely accurate -”

    “After all, is it the man who once made the gods bow to his knees, making fun of you?” Xiaojie deliberately made a joke, causing laughter in the audience.

    Sisi waited for the atmosphere to pass before returning to the topic of the game.

    “Although Lin An’s operation is as impressive as ever, other FP players seem to be in a relatively passive state.”

    “Perhaps the regrettable defeat in the last game affected the players?” Xiaojie guessed, “It seems that FP was a little constrained in this game and couldn’t let go.”

    “I even had the illusion that Venus was avoiding the battle.”

    “Dawn is still relatively young, and her experience is still insufficient compared to other brothers in the team, and her on-the-spot reaction is not enough.”

    “Although Applejack uses a character with high agility, it will be more difficult to predict the position, but it is also true that Dawn cannot keep an eye on Applejack.”

    Xiaojie made several comments in succession and found that Si Si was staring at the real-time picture of the arena without making a sound, as if he was thinking about something.

    He suddenly thought, yes, this game so far, except for Lin An’s mountain ghost, has been a little too smooth.

    He quickly looked towards the arena.

    “The contract has been found.” He Chen glanced at the golden color under the ice, and activated his skills without expression, shaking the snow from the mountain. The dense snowflakes wrapped it up in layers, burying the golden color tightly.

    Coco was forced to watch everything: “…”

    “If you’re sure it’s hidden like this…can we still find it later?”

    “I’m sure it can be done.” He Chen’s professional relationship meant that he knew the action lines of everyone on his side, including his own.

    “It’s not difficult to find coordinate points based on the reference system.” He Chen asked doubtfully, “Don’t you know how?”

    His tone was so natural that Coco was speechless for a long time.

    “Sure enough, the new brain is easy to use…” Fade smacked his lips beside him, “Now that the contract is out, we don’t have to pretend anymore, right?”

    Venus clicked her tongue, “You’re still not happy with the captain asking you to read more. Pretending is a derogatory term. How can you say that about yourself?”

    “This is the art of war, play hard to get… If you have nothing to do, you should also watch “Three Kingdoms”. Right? Captain.”

    Lin An’s handsome and expressionless face was projected on the glass panel of the soundproof cabin in front of him, making him look a little inhumane.

    Lin An said he could withstand the attack from the front row by himself, and he really did, and gave Fade time to adjust.

    “Rather than playing hard to get, it’s better to say… tit for tat.” Lin An actually didn’t make any major changes in his tactics. He just pushed the boat along during the BP session to reverse the situation of the two teams.

    A flash of light flashed in Lin An’s eyes. The red leopard pounced, and the kudzu vines burst out, piercing the two Captors in the middle like candied haws.

    The vine didn’t kill him with a single blow, and the two of them were ready to give it a try with their broken health bars, but they faced Fade who was at full strength.

    Fade had grown up for half the game and could no longer hold it in any longer. Before Lin An could give the order, others had already rushed forward with flying boots.

    Blue originally wanted to team up with the mid laner to fight Lin An, and he wouldn’t suffer a loss if he could exchange two for one.

    Unexpectedly, Fade, who had been swishing for a long time, suddenly bit him like a gunshot.

    Applejack was the first to react, gritting his teeth: “Fell into a trap.”

    “They are learning from us. Stop fighting and grab the contract——”

    Fortunately, He Chen couldn’t keep up with his position.

    Applejack maximizes the character’s movement speed, superimposes the speed bonus of the flying boots, and instantly switches to He Chen’s side.

    Hechen once again lost Applejack’s position, resulting in a loss of a man’s head at a critical moment, helping the opponent’s development in vain.This made many FP team fans very dissatisfied.

    “Hechen’s overall strength just can’t keep up with his teammates. After selling Applejack and signing Dawn, the senior management must be filled with regret now…”

    “If you ask me… FP should…” Before the audience finished speaking, they suddenly heard the uproar in the audience.

    He himself also turned his head, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the focus of the field – He Chen in disbelief.
