their ultimates perfectly, we would’ve never lost the fight at the Dragon pit that badly.
If it wasn’t for the Jinx getting kills and being far better than the B+ grade people say she is, we would’ve never lost as badly as we did.” He briefly paused and looked at his teammates for a bit.
He then continued, “See how it wasn’t just Varus? See how it was a team effort in which each individual player contributed a vital part to Team Shanghai’s victory in that game? Yes, you’re right.
By the end of it, it was just Varus harassing us and Jinx shredding towers.
But to get to that point, it took a full team effort.
Stop tunneling on the outcome and start analysing how they got there.
If we want to win this series, we need to get over this Varus and improve together.
As a team.”

The players from Team Beijing stared at Yu Ping.
The anger and frustration they felt towards Lin Feng’s Varus slowly dissipated.
One by one, they started nodding.
And when they were all nodding, faster and faster, Zhang Hongyi was the first to open his mouth and say what they were all thinking, “You’re right, Yu Ping.
You always are.
That’s why you’re the best.
Yes.
We’ll stop tunneling.
It was a team effort.
Even…” He took a deep, long breath and said through gritted teeth, “Even Zeng Rui contributed to that victory.”

“Good,” Yu Ping said.
He then focused his attention on his screen and added, “Then let’s get ready for the next game.” And time to make that asshole on his Varus pay! How dare that jerk underestimate me—ME!—by picking some weak early game Champion!

FourEyesChan grabbed the microphone from its stand on the caster desk and brought it to his mouth.
He said, “Both teams have had a couple of minutes to unwind from the… the lack of action in game 1 if I’m being honest here.
Let’s hope we get to see some more fireworks in game 2!”

“And we’re in Champion Select!” Cherry exclaimed.
“Team Beijing is the Blue Team in this second game of the Finals, which means they’ve got the first ban… EVELYNN! THEY BANNED EVELYNN!”

FourEyesChan adjusted his glasses and analysed, “Smart ban.
She helped Varus get through the early game.
Which makes me wonder if Varus is going to be their next ban.”

“First up is Team Shanghai though! And they’re banning… Thresh!” Cherry said into her microphone.

“AND VARUS! IT’S THE VARUS BAN!” FourEyesChan yelled into his microphone.

“They really did it! They banned Varus!”
“SCAREDY CATS! MEOW, MEOW!”

“CHICKENS! POCK, POCK, POCK!”

In Team Beijing’s soundproof booth, Yu Ping looked at his screen through narrowed eyes.
They got the first choice of Champion and they went with Nidalee for their Jungler.
Next up was Team Shanghai with two picks, then them again and then Team Shanghai again.
It was in this round that Team Shanghai picked their Midlaner. Twisted Fate.
He fucking did it again.
This motherfucker.
This little piece of shit! Yu Ping glanced across the stage at Team Shanghai’s soundproof booth. Are you really trying to say I’m so bad that you can’t even be arsed to take a decent early game Champion? You think I’m such a bad player that you can get by playing another weak early game Champion? Well.
FUCK YOU! FUCK.
YOU! He gritted his teeth in frustration and locked in Ahri. I’ll FUCKING SHOW YOU!

Zhang Hongyi glanced at Yu Ping and asked, “Wasn’t he supposed to play something more aggressive? Like Riven or Fizz?”

“He.
Was,” Yu Ping replied, grinding his teeth.

Team Beijing’s Jungler interjected, “Huh? Nocturne? Their last pick is Nocturne?”
