Poor , I still have to endure half an hour or an hour of electricity every ti. Considering how pathetic yet hardworking I am, do you really have the heart not to vote for ?
Soon, both sides selected their lineups. On Xiao Lin’s side, the lineup consists of Sniper, Sword Wanderer, Phoenix, Firearms, and Sand King, while the opposing lineup has Treant, Dragon Rider, Murloc, Spirit of Vengeance, and Ice Soul.
Both lineups are well-chosen, with potential for first blood on both sides. However, in terms of lineups, if it weren’t for Phoenix on Xiao Lin’s side, there would barely be a fight, because Phoenix is extrely powerful in crowd control or saving people, being nearly invincible in the early ga. Especially when facing Treant’s ultimate, Treant basically does no damage to Phoenix.
Then, Xiao Lin started directing, saying the Innocent Little Sister shouldn’t be expected to do much early ga. Let her quietly farm in mid lane, while Steel Torrent takes Sand King solo top, and Phoenix along with Sword Wanderer and Sniper go bottom to grab first blood.
If the opposing lineup is as expected, it should be Treant solo bottom, while the top lane is aiming for first blood. Thus, Sand King carried wards to block camps and should avoid crossing the river; just getting levels is enough.
Having Xiao Lin as a backbone, Steel Torrent, and Lonely and Moon were quite reassured, Lonely even typed out: Innocent Little Sister, we don’t expect you to carry late ga, but please don’t be the sixth person. We don’t want a 4v6.
The Innocent Little Sister knew how bad her skills were. Although she often had a cocky tone in group chats, she was quite humble about this ga, saying: "Don’t worry, it’s not my first ti playing, I’ve been mixing with you guys for over a week now. Although I don’t know how to kill, I can still farm creeps. If soone cos, I’ll run, definitely won’t stay on the battlefield!"
Xiao Lin casually moved the mouse. With the three heroes, Phoenix, Sword Wanderer, and Sniper, they could definitely get first blood. Sword Wanderer’s first skill stuns, Sniper’s third skill slows, and Phoenix’s first skill increases chase damage. With this combo, Treant wouldn’t have a chance to escape.
Three minutes passed, and the creeps from both sides spawned. Sniper led the line, Phoenix got lucky and found a double damage rune in the river. He hid with Sword Wanderer in the top lane’s forest, ready to strike as soon as Treant appeared in view.
The opposing heroes appeared, but not as Xiao Lin expected. Instead, Dragon Rider and Spirit of Vengeance showed up.
"Double kill, anything less would be a waste with such foolish lane opponents!" Xiao Lin quickly typed and Lonely, controlling the Sword Wanderer, made his move.
With one hamr, he stunned both the Dragon Rider and Spirit of Vengeance. Phoenix attacked twice, leaving the Spirit of Vengeance with half health. Sword Wanderer didn’t attack but blocked their retreat.
Under Xiao Lin’s control, Sniper didn’t even need to use the slow. The Spirit of Vengeance offered the first blood, and Sniper’s slow hit Dragon Rider, leading Xiao Lin to claim the second blood.
Soon after, the third blood appeared. Xiao Lin peeked at the mini-map and noticed the blue dot in mid lane was missing. The Innocent Little Sister remained the sixth person as usual, unexpectedly dying once again.
"You guys roam mid, even if the Dwarf doesn’t get up. We can’t let the opposing Ice Soul get too good of gear!" Xiao Lin quickly typed, then gently secured a creep kill. He hit six last-hits and three denies, quite the impressive score.
The opposing Dragon Rider and Spirit of Vengeance went down the lane again, which Xiao Lin wasn’t worried about. He focused on farming.
In the bottom lane, Xiao Lin fard smoothly. Under six minutes, he already had his Hand of Midas. anwhile, mid lane had three deaths already, giving Xiao Lin a first-hand experience of what being the sixth person ant.
"Little Sister, why don’t you stay ho and soak in the hot springs? Wouldn’t that be better?" Xiao Lin typed helplessly.
"No way! You guys are out there fighting hard. How can I, with no sense of loyalty, stay ho and soak?!" Innocent Little Sister typed back. Mid lane, six minutes in, level four!
By now, Xiao Lin’s Sniper was level six, Sand King top solo was also level six, and even the roaming Phoenix and Sword Wanderer reached level four. This sixth person title was well earned; even with two people roaming mid, she managed to die three tis, her starting equipnt unchanged, and even less one branch, leaving Xiao Lin at a loss.
Yet fortunately, Xiao Lin’s growth was smooth. The opposing Spirit of Vengeance road away, leaving just Dragon Rider. In early lane matchups, how could Dragon Rider be a match for Sniper? Especially with poor play, the Sniper, only equipped with a Hand of Midas, managed a kill.
With such smooth farming, Xiao Lin decided to rush the Crystalis, even skipping the Power Treads for now.
When Xiao Lin got the Crystalis, Power Treads, and Excitent Gem, the ga was only eighteen minutes in. At that ti, a ssage popped up, with Innocent Little Sister excitedly saying: "Haha, my Power Treads are out, not easy!"
"..." Xiao Lin was speechless; eighteen minutes, mid-lane dwarf, just a Power Treads? And she’s even proud about it?
However, Steel Torrent chid in: "Not bad, making progress!"
"How is it progress?" Xiao Lin asked.
"Last ga, it took half an hour just for Boots of Speed. This ti, eighteen minutes for Power Treads, isn’t that progress?" Steel Torrent said cheerfully.
The eighteen-minute Sniper, with such equipnt, was basically a killing machine. With Phoenix, Sword Wanderer, and Sand King all providing control.
The other side had no counterattack ability. The first ga finished in just twenty-two minutes with a conceded ga.
This made Innocent Little Sister shout: "Don’t quit, why quit? At least let kill one for fun!"
In the next two gas, Innocent Little Sister finally shed the sixth person claim, even scoring a kill in the last ga, making her squeal with excitent.
Xiao Lin didn’t say much in-ga, but Innocent Little Sister often sought chances to talk to him. After three gas, Xiao Lin checked the ti. It was already past half-past five. He’d been busy all day and only had a little breakfast, leaving his stomach already protesting.
"Not playing anymore, going out for dinner!" Xiao Lin typed in the QQ group chat.
"Military Doctor, where are you? Can I follow you from now on, okay?" Having played a week of DOTA, Innocent Little Sister finally experienced so excitent and even scored a kill for the first ti ever.
"No problem!" Xiao Lin replied.
"Military Doctor, eating so early today? Don’t you usually eat at six thirty?" Steel Torrent remarked.
"I forgot to tell you guys, I’m no longer a military doctor. I’ve moved to Yanjing University’s school hospital as a doctor. If any of you are in Yanjing, let’s find so ti to hang out!" Xiao Lin still trusted his guild brothers quite a lot, having played this ga together for three or four years. Although they may not know each other fully, they would chat in the group when they t in real life, getting a good sense about the guild mbers.
