Chapter 266 There are reasons why we can't lose.
"I heard your heartbeat," Gu Lin'an thought to himself, looking into Fly's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit.
"Brother An, we've reached the final showdown. Let's crush him in the last round," Zhong Yi said.
They rallied to win two points in a row, and Gu Lin'an then secured five kills in the fourth round, showing great fighting spirit.
They had already planned their strategy for the peak match, choosing only the strongest heroes in the current meta.
The Wolves should be in a similar situation. In the final showdown, it will all come down to skill.
"Brother An, are you playing the top lane in the last game?" Changsheng asked.
Gu Lin'an nodded, "I won't go back on my word to Fly."
"Great, I've never seen Brother An play the top lane before."
"Play Allen? Allen is quite strong in this version," Coach Milk Tea said.
Gu Lin'an shook his head. "Wolves will think the same way, so this time, I'll play Ma Chao."
"Ma Chao, huh?"
Ma Chao relies heavily on development, but he's relatively easy to defeat against Ya Lian.
"Alright, the lineup is set: Ma Chao for the top lane, Shiranui Mai for the mid lane, Ao Yin for the marksman, Dorria for the support, and Jing for the jungle."
Everyone nodded.
"To be honest, the last time we played against the Wolves was also a high-level match, and they used a 'farming' strategy to crush us."
"Hopefully they won't come up with any new lineups this time."
"Probably not. There are only a few strong heroes in the current version, so it doesn't matter if they're picked. Don't you know how valuable the Trisolarans are now?"
"Besides, we have an ace up our sleeve this time," Yinuo said with a grin.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Lin'an.
Gu Lin'an licked his lips and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this showdown."
"Your punches weren't fast enough or powerful enough last time, but don't worry, with me here this time, we definitely won't lose."
AG needs a championship. 26 consecutive losses, winning a championship once in seven years, and being a perennial runner-up – these titles weigh heavily on them, making it hard to breathe.
Yinuo and his friends really want to win the Silver Dragon Cup again to prove themselves.
Gu Lin'an also needs a championship to prove himself and solidify his divine status.
"Is the lineup finalized? If so, then Coach Milk Tea should be handed over," Gu Lin'an emphasized again.
Yi Nuo and the others nodded, but Coach Milk Tea hesitated.
"Coach Milk Tea, is there anything else?" Gu Lin'an asked.
The milk tea coach wanted to speak, but the words seemed stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
"Coach Milk Tea, please share any suggestions you may have."
Coach Milk Tea then said, "What do you think? How about we replace Ao Yin with Hou Yi?"
"I feel like the enemy marksman will definitely pick Ao Yin. Hou Yi can also be effective against Ao Yin, but..." Coach Milk Tea didn't finish the sentence.
But everyone knows that this is a huge gamble.
If they win the bet, the scales of victory will tip in AG's favor; if they lose, then all is lost.
"I think we can give it a try. Hou Yi has the ability to initiate team fights, and he can produce unexpected results in the early game," Gu Lin'an said.
"It mainly depends on what Nuozai wants to play."
After thinking for a moment, Yi Nuo said, "Hou Yi, I can do it."
Then he flashed a row of white teeth and said, “If we’re going to bet, let’s bet big. We won the last round, and I think Lady Luck will be on our side this time too.”
……
The competition venue was filled with rousing music, like war drums cheering on the athletes.
"We see Changye come to the chair on the top lane; he's going to fulfill his promise to Fly."
"One is a seven-year veteran, and the other is a newly promoted god. I wonder what kind of sparks they will create."
"Today is the final match of the finals, a showdown of titans. The commentators were just discussing the lineups of Wolves and AG in this game."
"They generally believe that the top laner for this game will be Yaren, the mid laner will be Shiranui Mai, the bottom laner will be Ao Yin, the support will be Doriya, and the jungler will be Jing."
"I wonder how many of them guessed correctly. Let's focus on the mid lane."
Tianyun said, "Shiranui Mai fights Shiranui Mai!"
Li Jiu said, "The guests on the commentary panel guessed correctly."
"Let's look at the jungler position, it's Jing versus Jing."
"The top lane... wait, it's not Ya Lian, both top laners have chosen Ma Chao!"
Gu Lin'an and Fly exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
"They probably both guessed that the other side would pick Yalian, so they chose Ma Chao to counter him. They didn't expect that their ideas would clash."
"Let's look at the support positions again, it's Doria versus Doria."
"It's really a mirror match, all four heroes are the same, now only the marksman position hasn't appeared yet."
Coach Milk Tea sat in the spectator seats, his palms sweating profusely.
"Ao Yin, the one on the other side must be Ao Yin."
If the opponent isn't Ao Yin, but rather Gongsun Li or another hero, this game will truly be ruined by him.
This is their best chance to win the championship.
For a moment, after handing the list over to the authorities, he regretted his impulsiveness.
The milk tea coach nervously closed his eyes silently.
On the big screen, the card flipped little by little, finally revealing a hero in white.
"Marksman position: Ao Yin versus Hou Yi!"
When the name Ao Yin reached Coach Milk Tea's ears, her eyes welled up with tears of excitement.
Xuanran excitedly grabbed Coach Milk Tea's arm, "Coach, we won the bet! We won the bet!"
Xuan Ran had a strong grip, and the milk tea coach's hand hurt from being squeezed so hard.
"Damn it, you little brat, open your big hand, I saw it!" Coach Milk Tea cursed happily.
I don't know if it's because of Gu Lin'an's influence, but now these guys from AG have picked up a bit of a bandit vibe.
It can't speak without a horse.
……
When AG chose Hou Yi as their hero, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.
"AG chose Hou Yi, not Ao Yin?"
"AG is too daring to gamble."
"You could tell from the last game, they're incredibly brave. Didn't they even consider what they'd do if they lost the bet?"
"But AG won the bet, that was exciting, this ticket was worth it."
"Hou Yi is directly dominating Ao Yin, AG's development lane is secure!"
……
The Wolves didn't expect AG to be so daring in their picks, choosing Hou Yi instead of the Trisolarans.
"It's okay, it's just a little suppression on the development lane. Once Xiangyu and I get our economy up, killing Hou Yi will be easy," Fly said.
"Don't worry, Fly, we'll definitely win this round."
"I will let the golden rain be your final farewell gift," the chubby boy said earnestly.
Both AG and Wolves have reasons not to lose at this moment.
