Chapter 131: This Vayne is not Cat Eye

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This is... As...” Zheng “Anubis” Bin watched the screen in disbelief.

Anubis is a professional player that began his career from the American server. Although he was aware that it is entirely possible to use Baron Nashor to attack the enemy’s champion, he was still baffled by the player’s extraordinary vision in using the Baron’s venom to finish off Orianna under this situation.

Asmodai was focusing on the screen too. His fiery eyes didn’t move away after a long while.

“As, say something.” Anubis urged him.

For a player to execute such technique, not only he/she needs to have a great foundation and outstanding awareness but they are also required to have a thorough understanding of the in-game environment as well as unparalleled talent in MOBA game!

“This Vayne is not played by Cat Eye.” Finally, Asmodai gave his opinion assuredly.

“Not Cat Eye?” Ben Zheng was baffled.

‘How could it be? Cat Eye Qiu Shenping is indeed sitting on the player seat!’

“That’s gotta be it. I had met Cat Eye in the Korean server before. No doubt, his Vayne is quick and dexterous. He has a good sense of positioning, too, and is extremely hard to catch. Nevertheless, he still lacks the killer instinct,” Asmodai explained patiently, “As compared to this Vayne, they are two completely different playstyles. This Vayne is a toothless cat in the early game. There was no notable strength aside for his or her CS fundamentals. However, once the item build began to take shape, this Vayne immediately transformed into a ferocious tiger. Untouchable, cruel, and intimidating.”

Anubis nodded affirmatively. “You are right. A person’s playstyle and understanding toward a hero is usually fixated. The contrast is too extreme...”

“The change in playstyle takes time to develop. In my opinion, Cat Eye’s inadequate skills and talents are his limiting factors. At best he would only be a tier-2 or -3 player. However, Bin, from your perspective, what tier is this Vayne at? From the 1-vs-3 maneuver, the failed 1-vs-4 yet a tide-turning battle, to this team fight where Vayne vigilantly intercepted the backline and killed Orianna with Baron’s help...” Asmodai raised his point.

“During the early game laning phase, this fella played like an amateur. His mid-game maneuver shows that he might a tier 2 or 3 professional ADC. In a late-game team fight, regardless of the strategy workability, his timing to intervene, champion control, and extraordinary vision would list him or her among the top tier in our country,” Anubis answered.

Asmodai agreed and said, “Laning phase is not entirely vital since it is improvable through practice. The main reason that hinders Cat Eye from entering higher tier is his insufficient commitment during late-game fights and his lack of natural talent in competitive MOBA. Thus, I am certain that this game is not played by Cat Eye.”

“Then, who do you think it might be? Besides, isn’t it too risky to use a ghost-gamer in the national semifinal? Aren’t they afraid to be found out later?” Zheng Bin asked.

Asmodai shook his head. Right now, he was still unable to identify who was the actual player behind Vayne in this match.

By right, not many players within China could play Vayne to this extent. Unfortunately, Asmodai failed to find any resemblance after he looked up for several elite ADC players within the country.

The auditorium had boiled over for quite a while!

Previous moments where Vayne was being triple-team and quadruple-team were not as buzzing as the current scene.

The commentator, Qi Qiao, was at a loss. She couldn’t find a word to describe her amazement. ‘How could anyone think of this? Uses Baron to secure kill?’

The impostor, Qiu Shenping, almost had his eyes popped out.

“Have you downloaded it? Have you downloaded it??” The in-game director at the backstage howled excitedly at the programmer by his side.

The programmed nodded energetically, “I have!”

“This is definitely one of the top ten best plays, potentially the first place!”

***

Wang Jing from Team Liaoning was dumbstruck. The rage of being humiliated in terms of skill and the shame of being outsmarted made him wanted to smash his keyboard.

‘Is this match still playable?’

Most probably, this game would leave him a great phobia toward Vayne. For the rest of his life, he probably would ban Vayne without a second thought, regardless of whether there is any player good with Vayne in the opponent team.

Team Liaoning was strong. This was evident from their few decisive war initiations before this. Their coordination was slightly superior to that of Team Shanghai.

Nonetheless, a Vayne who played solo managed to crush their strategy and shatter their formation every single time.

***

After Orianna’s death, Elise cleverly sacrificed herself and allowed Vayne to take down Renekton and Nocturne under Thresh’s protection. Team Shanghai then went straight for the mid-lane Nexus Tower.

The survived Varus was unable to stop them. She could only press the other lane and use the minion wave to slightly slow down Team Shanghai push.

Once the mid-lane was conquered, Team Shanghai used the creep line advantage and killed off Baron Nashor effortlessly.

With Hand of Baron, Team Shanghai no longer needed to employ the split-push strategy. Team Liaoning could no longer match them in a head-on clash.

The high-end game like this one progressed rather rapidly. Often, a team fight would shift the momentum entirely to the victors and put the game into garbage time.

Team Liaoning had nothing left in the tank. After all their three lanes had fallen, the game ended swiftly...

“What a tremendous semifinal! Congratulations to Team Sunlight from Shanghai for winning the ticket to the Grand Final! All of us were anticipating a good game from Vayne during the banning phase and I think nobody would disagree with me when I say Cat Eye has duly delivered a top-class performance! I am pretty sure that Cat Eye’s popularity would go to a new height after this game and perhaps he could be seen in the LPL very soon!”

“For Team Liaoning, you guys definitely deserved the praise too. The strategy of oppressing Vayne during the early game worked out well, although it did not last. Please don’t feel disappointed about missing the Grand Final. I believe those who had given your best on this stage would not go unnoticed. You will be able to find your next home in rising or established professional teams. We hope to see you again in LPL!” Qi Qiao gave her final verdict to conclude the match.

Inside the auditorium, the audience was not entirely satisfied.

This was a truly remarkable LoL match. Every time Vayne barged into a battle, their heartbeats raced together with the champion’s dancing on the razor’s edge playstyle.

To be honest, they sincerely hoped that the match went on longer so that they could continue to watch Vayne’s magnificent performance.

“Cat Eye!!! Cat Eye!!!”

“Invincible! Cat Eye’s Vayne is invincible!”

“Best Vayne! Best Vayne!”

A lot of Cat Eye supporters inside the hall raised their self-made banner and began chanting. Many female audiences also threw him an admiring gaze.

Soon, the small-sized Qiu Shenping was surrounded by a large group of passionate supporters.

Qiu Shenping smiled sheepishly. He knew well that the people in front of him were actually cheering for someone else.

Still, being surrounded by ladies in perfume and enthusiastic fans greatly fascinated him.

Indeed, a player usually faces the computer alone in E-sports. However, when the player had given everything and created a perfect, astonishing play in a game, who doesn’t want to be adored like a celebrated pianist?

In school, the teacher always gives their attention to those with good grades. In society, pretty ladies only follow those with good looks, high position, and wealthy.

But in E-sports, none of those matters!

You can gain anything you want here as long as you are stronger than your opponent!

At this very moment, Qiu Shenping greatly enjoyed the attention he had never experienced in the past. Before this, girls with long hair and oval face in short trendy skirts would never look at him so admirably like now.

“If only... If only I am really that good in playing Vayne,” Qiu Shenping murmured in his mind.
