Sister, Choose Me, I'm Super Sweet [Esports] - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: No Plans to Transfer Next Year?

Under these circumstances, the dragon was stolen by RG. The commentators’ booth was silent for two seconds before Commentator A’s voice was heard.

Commentator A: “Uh… this was really unexpected. maple’s Smite was used poorly, allowing RG’s mid-laner to coincidentally get the dragon. This is a pretty serious mistake.”

At the same time, Qu Feng’s face turned pale. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something to explain.

“It’s fine,” Tong Yi’s voice suddenly rang out. “Retreat.”

Qu Feng was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Tong Yi, her eyes filled with gratitude. She was truly terrified and thought she was about to be scolded. Tong Yi also looked at Qu Feng and quickly reminded her, “Focus.” Qu Feng immediately returned her attention to the screen.

Commentator B: “To be honest, this is a mistake a jungler should not be making. If maple was a rookie starter and was just nervous, it would be understandable, but she’s been playing for a full year now.”

Commentator A: “Yes, maple definitely needs to improve on a lot of details.”

The comments in the live stream were flying by wildly.

Useless jungler, just retire already. You get such a good opportunity and you still give the dragon to the enemy!

I really don’t get why Captain Tong is still staying at New Fire to do charity work. If I were Captain Tong, facing a bunch of stupid teammates like this every day, I would be so angry I couldn’t eat.

Leave it alone. Tong Yi loves it. Maybe New Fire saved her life. [smiling face

Does a jungler like maple really deserve to be in the professional scene? She’s so bad I can’t even look.

Ever since the first dragon was taken by the opposing team, the entire situation started to get out of control. The RG team had a typical jungle-focused playstyle. Their jungler, A Heng, was a very skilled player and was always very consistent. Because New Fire had stolen her red buff at the beginning, A Heng was a little behind.

But now her gold had caught up, and she started ganking the bottom lane frequently, solo-killing moon in no time. The synergy between the bottom lane duo, Xu Yue and Wen Xia, was not good. The marksman position had been changed too frequently, and Xu Yue had just become a starter this year. Before this, Wen Xia had already played with several marksmen.

Furthermore, before the spring season started, Wen Xia had been resting for two months due to her injury. During this time, the support from the second team had been filling in for her. As a result, there was no synergy between Wen Xia and Xu Yue. In addition, Xu Yue herself was not a marksman with excellent game sense and mechanics. As a result, the outer tower in the bottom lane was taken down a few minutes later.

After the bottom lane tower was gone, the entire situation started to spiral out of control. RG started to push lanes aggressively. They couldn’t defend the towers at all, and they fell one after another.

At twenty-five minutes, New Fire’s crystal was destroyed.

The two commentators said in unison, “Let’s congratulate the RG team on winning this game!”

The five members of New Fire all had stiff expressions on their faces. They couldn’t even force a smile and didn’t want to talk. Tong Yi took off her headphones, raised a hand to press her brow, and said softly, “It’s okay. We’ll try harder next game.”

At the same time, the comments in the live stream were filled with curses.

Can New Fire just get out of the professional scene? They’re making me so angry. How can they have such a huge advantage in the early game and still play like this!

Useless jungler and useless marksman. When Captain Tong bound three people in that last high-ground fight, were you guys just daydreaming?

How do people like this even get into a professional team? I’m so mad I don’t even want to watch the stream anymore.

I’ve been urging her for over a year now, and I really don’t want to anymore. If Captain Tong doesn’t transfer after this season, I’m really unfollowing her. Goodbye forever!

If you want to unfollow, just go. Do you really think Tong Yi doesn’t want to transfer? It’s clearly because no one wants her besides New Fire!

Yeah, they still think it’s the S6 season. Do people really think Tong Yi is being dragged down by her teammates? She’s been declining for a long time. There are so many good assassin-mage players now. What hero can Tong Yi even play well?

The regular season was a best-of-three format. If New Fire wanted to win this match, they had to win the next two games.

There was a ten-minute break between each game. Zhou Shiqing quickly entered the room to comfort and encourage them. Soon, the second game began. The league adopted a loser’s choice rule for sides, so New Fire chose the blue side again, getting priority in the pick/ban phase.

In this game, Tong Yi still chose a “support-focused” mid-laner who could roam the entire map, allowing the jungler to get more gold without having to be in the mid-lane. Unlike the first game, this time, Tong Yi didn’t give up the first wave of minions. Instead, she waited for Qu Feng to finish the red side jungle and then shared the second wave of minions with her. Then she helped Qu Feng clear the blue side and took her to gank the bottom lane as quickly as possible.

In this game, New Fire chose a jungle-focused strategy, but Tong Yi was the one setting the pace. Qu Feng followed Tong Yi, constantly roaming, ganking, and getting gold from the lanes. The second game was a long one, lasting over forty minutes without ending, which showed how much New Fire was struggling. But in the end, they lost the game due to a mistake in a team fight.

Commentator A: “Let’s congratulate the RG team! They’ve won this match!”

Commentator B: “With this, our S9 season’s spring regular season has come to an end. Next is a ten-day break, and then we’ll enter the playoffs.”

Commentator A: “Of course, from the looks of the rankings, the New Fire team has no chance of making it to the playoffs. This is a big disappointment. We hope that when New Fire returns, they can think things through, and make adjustments to the team, including their strategies and members.”

Commentator B nodded. “Yes, we also hope to see a different New Fire team in the summer season.”

Forget it. They’ll just get stomped in the summer season too. rolling eyes rolling eyes

I can’t take it anymore. I need to go to New Fire’s official page and curse them out to feel better.

Wait for me, sis. I’m going too!

At the same time, the five members of New Fire all had dejected looks on their faces.

“I’m sorry, Captain…” Xu Yue’s eyes were red as she looked at Tong Yi, her voice trembling as she apologized.

Tong Yi tried to cheer herself up and comfort her. “It’s okay. We did our best.”

“Mhm,” Xu Yue said with a sob, nodding.

Qu Feng was sitting in her gaming chair, looking sullen. She was clearly in a bad mood after losing the game.

Tong Yi then looked in Wen Xia’s direction. Wen Xia was frowning, using her left hand to tightly hold her bandaged right hand.

“Sister Wen,” Tong Yi quickly walked over and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

Wen Xia’s forehead was sweating, and her lips were a little pale. Now that the match was over, Wen Xia didn’t have to pretend to be strong anymore. She said with a bitter smile, “Not really. I might have to go to the hospital later.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you,” Tong Yi said quickly.

Wen Xia smiled and patted Tong Yi’s shoulder. “No need. I’ll go by myself. But at least today’s match is finally over. The summer season… I don’t know if I’ll be able to play with you all anymore.”

Tong Yi pursed her lips, and was about to say something else when RG’s captain, A Heng, brought her teammates over to shake hands.

“Let’s go, it’s time to shake hands,” Tong Yi quickly looked away and led her teammates over to shake hands. As the captain, she walked in front and was the first to shake hands with A Heng.

“Congratulations,” Tong Yi said to A Heng.

A Heng held Tong Yi’s hand tightly, her eyes smiling as she looked at her. “Thank you. But, Captain Tong, do you have any plans to transfer next year?”

“I’ll think about next year when next year comes,” Tong Yi said with a smile, her tone very calm.

A Heng looked at her quietly and said, “I really hope you’ll consider joining our team. If we were a mid-jungle duo, we would be very strong. I need a teammate like you.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Qu Feng, who was standing next to Tong Yi, was not happy to hear A Heng’s words. Her face visibly fell. What does she mean, ‘we would be very strong as a mid-jungle duo?’ Does that mean I’m not strong?

A Heng noticed Qu Feng’s stare, glanced at her, and laughed. She said to Tong Yi, with a meaningful tone, “Captain Tong, I’ll give you an honest piece of advice. Think carefully about your role on the team. If you plan to be a ‘support-focused’ mid-laner from now on, then New Fire really needs to find a jungler who can truly carry.”

She didn’t expect A Heng to be so direct. Qu Feng was furious. Just as she was about to ask A Heng what she meant, she heard Tong Yi say gently, “Little Feng still has a lot of room to grow. I believe in her… But thank you for the suggestion. The coach and I will look into it when we get back.”

Qu Feng was stunned that Tong Yi was defending her.

“Mhm,” A Heng hummed noncommittally. “I hope you really took what I said to heart.”

With that, A Heng let go of Tong Yi’s hand and began to shake hands with the next person, Qu Feng. At the same time, the live stream was filled with confusion.

Seriously, why are these two captains shaking hands for so long?

What did they say? Can someone who can read lips translate for me?

I have a feeling A Heng is inviting Little Yi to the RG team.

Oh no, I’m getting a little carried away. A ship between the two captains? Let me ship it for a second.

Get out. You people who just ship random people are everywhere. I think A Heng was clearly mocking Tong Yi. Didn’t you see how mad maple was?

The handshake was over quickly, and Tong Yi’s mind slowly returned from her memories. Her unfocused eyes gradually cleared up, and the scenery outside the car window became clearer.

Tong Yi saw the New Fire club’s base. The car had reached its destination.

“Thank you, driver.”

After thanking the driver, Tong Yi quickly walked toward the base. This base was new this year. It was much smaller than the previous one. Because of their poor performance, New Fire’s commercial value had decreased, and their sponsors had all withdrawn their investments. So now, New Fire was trying to save money on everything.
