Talents were still selected one by one in the battle of freedom.
Although neither side could see what the other side had chosen, the audience could see it clearly with God’s perspective.
The audience was stirred up for a while when Wei Xiao took the soul warlock, but then they all shared a similar sentiment:
“Little Lunatic Wei’s acting up again!”
“Darling, don’t act up! It’s the globals!”
The audience in the live broadcast studio also comforted each other after the scare:
“Sorry, sorry, my cub is a little playful.”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic, just wait for the great demon king to step up, and the little lunatic will start behaving!”
“Q Cub, stay steady, your captain will kill you if your hand shakes, and you lock it in.”
“F*ck!”
He really f*cking locked it in!
There was no talking about advantages or priorities during blind selection mode. Everyone would basically take the talent they were planning to use, and there was no need to snatch it up for others.
Once Wei Xiao locked in the soul warlock, the mentality of the fans collapsed, and they all started screaming.
When it came to being surprised, they’d first be shocked, then figure out the rest.
Wei Xiao had kept his word. Without talking about whether or not it was a pleasant surprise, he shocked everyone first.
Some fans immediately tried to come up with an explanation on their own, “About that… can talents be exchanged during the blind selection mode?”
“They can, they can. Wei Xiao will definitely switch it up with Brother Cai. Look, Brother Cai took the power thief!”
“I don’t quite understand. They’re using the power thief instead of the shadow thief in the battle of freedom?”
“Close locked in the shadow thief ahhhhh!”
“Damn, so they’re going to start with a double thief line-up?”
“Oh my god, I’m all for this! Little Lunatic! Big sister forgives you!”
The audience couldn’t be blamed for thinking like this. Wei Xiao’s ‘tactics’ were too shocking, and even the commentators, who could see a hint of what was happening, didn’t dare to think in that direction.
Judging from the talents that FTW selected, there didn’t seem to be a problem.
Shadow thief, power thief, soul warlock, immortal warlock, storm hunter.
Like hell there wasn’t a problem!
This problem was so big that it was earth shaking, okay?!
What kind of talents were these?
Light arcs, thousand layers of clouds, stepping on raindrops…
Was this Glory bungee jumping?!
Was Bai Cai that badass? Could he use the soul warlock and attach to these demonic talents?
Had Brother Cai gone crazy, or had FTW gone crazy, or did they feel that the audience in the China competition zone couldn’t hold up knives anymore?
It was a knockout game in a global competition. Every game would be thrilling, okay!
Don’t suffer major setbacks due to carelessness, darlings!
It wasn’t that everyone looked down on the white cabbage.
However, looking at the support players from all over the world…
Oh, be more confident. There were only a few players in the whole world who could use all of these talents skillfully, okay!
Close was one of them.
Quiet was another one.
Other than the two of them, who else was there?

FTW already had two all-rounder players. There couldn’t be a third!

How was he going to kill jungle creeps? How was he going to control the dragon? How was he going to snatch up farm and lead the rhythm?
No matter how whimsical their thinking was, they didn’t think that Wei Xiao would be using the soul warlock.
Even if the soul warlock was using the jungler open skill for the game.
That was normal, there were support heroes who took the jungler skill in order to go into the other side’s jungle zone or to help the jungler control their jungle. Teams with jungler cores used them occasionally, and it wasn’t strange.
Until…
“Holy shit, why aren’t they switching talents?”
“Countdown! Five seconds! Why haven’t Wei Xiao and Bai Cai traded talents?”
“What’s the situation? Did the game freeze?”
“It can’t be that they plan to switch at the last second, right? Little Lunatic Wei, don’t mess around, we know you have amazing hand speed, but don’t challenge our hearts like this!”
“It’s over, it’s over, the map has started loading!”
“Did they switch? Wei Xiao and Bai Cai switched, right? It can’t be Bai Cai playing jungler!”
“I have the feeling that they didn’t change…”
“Holy shit, is something going to happen at the start of the competition?”
“And they were still talking about 3:0, they’re f*cking going to get crushed instead.”
“My heart exploded. If FTW loses here, I’m going to take Wei Xiao down with me, damn it!”
“They can’t have made such a low level mistake, right?”
“This hater doesn’t want to lose to IN! What the hell is this! My face was beaten swollen by this fool!”
“It won’t happen, it won’t happen. At most, it’ll just be 3:1!”
The live audience exploded, and the fans in the live broadcast room went crazy. A crowd of foreign watchers were waiting to see them make a joke of themselves, and the commentators froze for a moment and almost forgot their words!
If Glory’s Mic Explosion King could do a ‘live broadcast’, then these big guys wouldn’t have to be scared into tears.
FTW’s internal team chat was very smooth.
There was no error.
There was no slip of the hand.
Forgetting to switch talents was something that would never happen.
They’d decided to do this right from the start, and they’d discussed it for a long time.
This matter originated from the opening game.
After coaxing his boyfriend, Wei Xiao finally shared his full thoughts.
Even without mentioning others, Lu Feng himself was stunned. “Use the soul warlock as a jungler?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes!”
Lu Feng: “When it comes to rhythm…”
Wei Xiao’s eyes were crystal bright. “There’s Brother Cai!”
Bai Cai trembled. “I can’t, I can’t, if you have me play jungler, I won’t be able to play out even one tenth of Yuan Ze’s skill.”
Yes, Teacher Yuan has become a jungler ‘benchmark’. One tenth of Teacher Yuan was too modest, and Wei Xiao comforted him, “One tenth is too exaggerated. I think you can manage at least one fifth.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
You might as well have not said anything!
Chen Feng frowned and thought about it.
Lu Feng had already understood what Wei Xiao meant. “We’ll have Bai Cai fight jungler for you before level six?”
Wei Xiao: “Yes!”
Bai Cai was still confused. “How do I help you?”
Wei Xiao looked at him. “You can use the power thief.”
Bai Cai: “!” Wasn’t this f*cking having Laozi play jungler ahhhhh, Laozi didn’t want to ahhhhh!
Wei Xiao was worthy of being the person who understood the vegetable the best. He knew Bai Cai’s hero pool even better than Bai Cai himself.
The two of them had been together since they had started playing Glory. Without mentioning their early years together, later, after Brother Cai had joined FTW, Wei Xiao had become an accompanying player for other professional players, and he’d also been Bai Cai’s accompanying trainer.
Asleep, Moonlit, and Eurostar-star had only played solo with Wei Xiao, while Brother Cai had experienced everything.
When Wei Xiao played jungler, Brother Cai played support.
When Wei Xiao played mid-lane, Brother Cai played support.
When Wei Xiao played bottom lane, Brother Cai played support…
It was even to the point that when Wei Xiao played support, Brother Cai was also a support.
That last point was the key point. As a professional support player, Bai Caicai had a dream. That dream was that he wanted to have a jungler king play support for him.
Wei Xiao rarely played support, but when he did, it was to coax a certain vegetable.
There was no way to prevent the way that Brother Cai’s fans from his live broadcast room especially loved watching the jungler king spoil his ‘wife’, so Wei Xiao had played it quite a lot.
Brother Cai only had to cry to Wei Xiao, “Old Wei, you don’t know how it is, FTW is so miserable now. Close had to sell two cars in order to feed the family! My live broadcast gifts are also shared with the club. I don’t want to get rich for myself, it’s all for FTW, for your male god Close!”
Wei Xiao: “……”
Brother Cai: “I’m not proud to say it, but Close had no choice but to solo with others in order to arrange training matches for us…”
These words were enough to stab Wei Xiao to death. Let alone helping him play support, he’d be okay with being beat up!
However, Brother Cai was really crappy. His jungler was an affront to the eyes.
Losing the game affected the effectiveness of his live broadcast.
For the sake of gifts that didn’t have much to do with him, Wei Xiao thought up a countermeasure.
Although Brother Cai used a thief, Wei Xiao would still be the one to control the rhythm. Brother Cai didn’t actually have any objections to being a toolman.
After their winning rate improved, Bai Cai really became addicted to this way of playing. He couldn’t use any particularly difficult talents, and he was unexpectedly good at using functional talents like the power thief.
The power thief had four skills, three of which were control skills. This was an extremely good talent for Brother Cai, who was a professional control support.
So…
Brother Cai was unexpectedly skilled at using the power thief. He really was able to use this talent.
Chen Feng looked over. “Caicai’s power thief?”
Bai Cai nodded stiffly. “It’s usable.”
Chen Feng raised his chin. Bai Cai understood what he meant and opened up the training camp to play a game.
Chen Feng: “Not bad, there’s some skill here.”
Bai Cai looked up with eyes filled with tears.
Wei Xiao said excitedly, “Brother Cai can use the power thief and help me clear the jungle creeps before level six. When the soul warlock has attachment, then everything will be easy.”
Chen Feng thought it over.
Lu Feng’s eyes held a trace of a smile. “It’s possible.”
Chen Feng glanced at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng: “I’ll use the shadow thief to make up for the damage.”
Wei Xiao: “Yes!”
Wei Xiao grew more energetic and spoke endlessly, speaking on and on until the little ones in the training room were all left in a daze.
Ning Zhehan: “In that case, I’ll use the immortal warlock!”
Having two immortal warlocks in the canyon would be amazing.
Yue Wenle: “I’ll use the storm hunter.”
Two storm hunters stepping on raindrops together, what kind of scene would that be?
Chen Feng: “Come and give it a try.”
They didn’t have to look for anyone else. They picked out one of their brother teams to test it out. After playing four training matches together, Money was convinced. “Who came up with this routine?”
Wei Xiao: “Hey.”
Money: “………………”
He was convinced, thoroughly convinced!
What kind of devilish tactics were these? Anyone who tried it would go bald.
And the most deadly thing was that this tactic…
Even globally, there were really only a few people who could use it well.
Could Yan Jiang do it?
Yan Jiang might not have the same effect with it as Wei Xiao did!
After all, the little lunatic was famous for his rhythm control. He’d always liked biting people all over the map, and now, he’d become impossible to stop!
As for today’s battle of freedom, Chen Feng had naturally held a meeting early on to discuss whether or not to use this new tactic.
Chen Feng tended towards stability. “I suggest that we play conventionally. Double thieves is good, but the soul warlock should be set aside for now.”
After all, it was an elimination system, and IN had provoked the entire China competition zone. FTW couldn’t afford to make mistakes.
Wei Xiao: “I think we can use the soul warlock.”
Chen Feng frowned. “Don’t mess around, play steadily…”
Wei Xiao wasn’t being irrational. He’d thought it over carefully. “We have to practice it.”
Chen Feng: “Using the globals to train?” His voice was higher than before.
Wei Xiao really dared to nod.
Chen Feng’s frown deepened, and he was about to get angry.
Wei Xiao continued, “The 16 to eight round is our only chance.”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng calmed down instantly.
“The elimination system is really very dangerous, but do we only want to get into the top eight?”
“We only have four games. Who will we meet in the eight into four? Who will we meet for the four into two? And there’s no need to mention the finals.”
“If we don’t practice this line-up now, then we really won’t have a chance.”
“Could it be that we have to wait until the later games when we’ve come to a dead end before giving it a try?”
Wei Xiao’s every word and sentence shot straight into everyone’s heart.
16 into eight was really their only chance to try it out.
This line-up was very unique. Calling it FTW’s killer trump card wouldn’t be overboard.
However, they didn’t have any more time left. They didn’t have any experience with it in competitions, and it was difficult to say if there were any defects in their tactics.
If they didn’t dare to use it in the 16 into eight, then would they dare to use it later?
If they were afraid even when facing IN, then what about when they faced the Team of Gods?
Would the players be prepared enough when they decided to use this line-up later on?
Wei Xiao’s last sentence shocked Chen Feng–-
“Coach, if we want to win against the Team of Gods, then we have to do our best.”
What did the top eight amount to, what did the top four amount to? What was the runner-up?
What they wanted was the world championship!
Everyone hide!! Little lunatic is going crazy, trying to train in global competitions!
Hes carazzy
Ahhhhh so exciting!!!
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
