The barrage of comments in the livestream chat was chaotic, but William Thompson had already started his very first ranked match on the Summit of the Canyon.

Right now, the international server for Summit of the Canyon had just launched, so basically everyone was still in their placement matches.

William Thompson queued up with a support, so the matchmaking was quick, and they entered the game almost without waiting.

After entering the champion select screen, the other three random teammates were chatting happily in the chat box at first.

One marveled at how tough the quality of Summit of the Canyon was, saying even placement matches were so hard.

Another said they had just run into a streamer known as Shark, and someone else mentioned that the support girl in their last team seemed to be from Japan.

But when they saw “Tea with Ann has entered the room,” one of them immediately had a change of expression.

Greenridge Bridge: “Holy crap! Tea with Ann? Is that the bastard from Death Note?”

Sophie Loves Me: “Meow meow meow? What Death Note?”

Gone Crazy: “Death Note? Is that the guy who used to gatekeep Diamond 1 with William the Great on the Electric 1 server?”

This rich guy in William Thompson’s stream had a good habit: whenever something happened, he’d jot it down in his little notebook.

His notebook was like a ranked diary.

Things like, “XXX said my support sucks, but did he even see how many Qs his own AD missed?” “XXX’s jungle died to red at level 1, never came bot once, screw Li Liang!” “I went to the bathroom and XXX still pushed my lane, I’ll remember this grudge”...

But he didn’t write these down as a diary, but to make it easier to AFK if he ran into them again.

As a wealthy player who always hired boosters to maintain his rank, Press F to Enter Tank naturally didn’t care about LP.

Sometimes if his account got reported and banned, he’d just buy another one. You could tell from how, when duoing with William Thompson, he’d often AFK together and “interact” with teammates.

“You guys... haven’t offended him, right?” Greenridge Bridge asked nervously.

It’s Summit of the Canyon placement matches!

No bonus LP!

No ranks!

No legendary point kings to look up to.

Everything was just beginning!

Everything was still full of hope!

Running into this kind of beast at this stage, who wouldn’t be pissed off!

Sophie Loves Me: “Uh... I don’t think so.”

Gone Crazy: “I used to play on Net 1, never heard of him.”

The three of them chatted as they typed, and the team comp was quickly locked in.

When it was fourth pick, top lane William Thompson’s turn, he glanced at the enemy Riven and, without hesitation, hovered over Yasuo.

Death is like the wind, always by my side!

“4th pick Yasuo?” Gone Crazy asked, puzzled.

“No way.” Greenridge Bridge suddenly realized something and probed the 5th pick, Press F to Enter Tank, “Bro, who are you duoing with?”

“My bro.” Press F to Enter Tank typed.

“Bro? Brother William?” Gone Crazy shuddered.

“Too bad there’s no reward.” Press F to Enter Tank.

It’s over!

Totally over!

The three in the room turned pale, their eyes filled with deep “fear.”

On the Ionia server, you might not know the rich guy from Death Note, “Press F to Enter Tank.”

But William Thompson’s account “Seventeenth Hawthorn” was known by everyone.

Of course, maybe only the enemy top laner didn’t know.

He was about to become a father.

Playing safe is reckless, tower diving is restraint.

William Thompson could play both mid and top, and as a pro player and streamer on the Chinese server, he’d solo killed countless mids and tops in lane.

But everyone on the Chinese server knew, this guy tilted way too easily—just gank him and it’s over, no matter how big the lead, he could throw it away.

And Yasuo, in this patch, even as a mid laner, often exploded, let alone as a top laner in the current tank meta.

He was way too squishy, and the conditions for teamfighting were harsh—in other words, very little room for error.

If the enemy started a fight hard and there were no knock-up champions on the team, Yasuo might finish the whole fight with his ult still unused.

And once he lost the “Last Breath” armor-penetration buff, in this meta where top, mid, and jungle could all be tanky as hell, Yasuo could only stand on the sidelines and watch during teamfights.

Plus, Yasuo naturally attracted aggro, just like Teemo. If he showed up top, the enemy jungler would almost always camp him.

And considering who was playing Yasuo...

For a moment, the other three in this game felt incredibly unlucky, thinking the start was inauspicious, and could only pray in their hearts that William Thompson would hold it together in the top lane.

......

Soon, the game entered the loading screen, and both teams’ comps appeared on the screen.

William Thompson’s team was on purple side: top Yasuo (no need to say more), jungle Elise, mid LeBlanc, bot lane was Ezreal and “Press F to Enter Tank”’s support Braum.

Actually, Press F to Enter Tank originally wanted to pick Sona, for obvious reasons, but unfortunately William Thompson’s Yasuo needed a reliable knock-up.

The teammates basically had no hope for him, so they all picked their comfort champs and didn’t choose any knock-ups to combo with him, so Press F to Enter Tank was forced by William Thompson onto Braum.

The enemy blue side comp was: top Riven, jungle Nidalee, mid Xerath, bot lane Caitlyn and support Sona.
