When he suddenly saw the live broadcast notification on the League of Legends platform, he jumped straight out of bed, slammed the button by his bedside, and shouted into the intercom next to it, “Get those little brats in the club to watch that Blind Monk’s stream for me right now!”

After speaking, she picked up her tablet, snuggled back into the goose down bed, and a clean smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, just like an ordinary girl.

“You must be a good-looking boy, right? You’re mine now!”

On the back of her hand, at the web between thumb and forefinger, a dazzling Diamond V emblem was clearly visible.

……

“If you see that god playing Blind Monk again, I’m willing to offer another 10,000 League Coins crown!”

“10,000 League Coins? Stop showing off. Have you ever heard the godly tycoon ‘Ru Chujian’ say anything?”

“Rumor has it that ‘Ru Chujian’ got kicked out of the house by her grandpa for getting too excited watching streams and tipping too much…”

“Ru Chujian is so cute, don’t hate on her, guys…”

“BAN phase has started!”

Meanwhile, Ethan Carter’s teammates probably watched the stream too. As soon as the game started, they asked Ethan Carter which lane he wanted and if he needed first pick to help secure Blind Monk.

Ethan Carter: 5th pick mid, if I don’t get it, I’ll feed.

Teammate 1: ……

Teammate 2: ……

Teammate 3: ……

Teammate 4: ……

Viewers watching the first-person perspective exploded instantly.

“666, I’m impressed by this play!”

“Hahaha, this is worth it, sending flowers!”

“What a pity, why isn’t he playing Blind Monk?”

Of course, some people left the stream to watch something else since they couldn’t see Blind Monk, and the live viewership finally stabilized at 14.13 million.

In the end, the enemy lineup: Jungle Master Yi, Mid Zed, Top Riven, ADC Miss Fortune, Support Leona.

Our lineup: Top Nautilus, Jungle Fiddlesticks, ADC Sivir, Support Malphite.

“What will the god pick?”

“Damn!! Low elo games don’t care about team comp, but this comp with this champion!”

“Waiting to see nine people get outplayed!”

On the League interface, a disheveled man played a flute, but every wisp of air around him was filled with restless wind and sword intent, yet even the wind and sword seemed a bit lonely.

“Death is like the wind, always by my side.”

Chapter 7: EQ Flash!

Ethan Carter didn’t choose Doran’s Shield to start. He didn’t need it for laning against Zed—he was confident enough, and his rune was Warlord’s Bloodlust. At this time, Warlord’s Bloodlust still relied on crits for healing and attack speed, and Yasuo’s passive doubled his crit chance. With just a Statikk Shiv and an Infinity Edge, he’d have 100% crit chance!

Both sides set up plenty of vision at the start, with no intention of fighting level one—just a stable opening. The Yasuo controlled by Ethan Carter stood right in front of the enemy’s outer turret and started taunting…

A player who can dance under pressure at Worlds isn’t afraid of making a scene. It’s just in his nature. From Ethan Carter’s perspective: I play this well, why shouldn’t I taunt?

“If you’re coming to kill me, I hope you bring your friends too.”

As soon as the taunt came out, viewers watching the first-person stream were fired up!

“I love this fiery attitude!”

“Doran’s Blade, going all in from the start, B key is ready—if I don’t die, I’m not going home. Demacia, rest assured!”

“6666!”

But the taunt wasn’t over. Yasuo’s voice rang out again: “Nice mask. Did your mom make it for you?”

“How did I not know Yasuo had this line?”

“Hahaha, found a Yasuo voice line Easter egg! 66666!”

“Am I the only one who feels… his Yasuo’s E, Sweeping Blade, is way smoother than most people’s…”

Some people’s Sweeping Blade feels choppy, while others are incredibly smooth. The difference is huge—the latter glides through the minion wave like the wind, while the former is as clunky as a pile of crap…

Some try to fix this choppiness by turning off “auto attack” in the system, so Yasuo won’t auto-attack minions after using Sweeping Blade. Others cancel the end lag after each dash.

Ethan Carter just smiled at this—if your hands are fast enough, anything is possible.

At this point, Zed was forced to last-hit with shurikens. Ethan Carter hadn’t even dashed onto Zed yet, just used Sweeping Blade on the minions next to him, then poked with Steel Tempest. Zed was suffering in silence. Others thought his play looked brainless, but he knew it was because the opponent’s mechanics were far beyond his own. His shurikens couldn’t hit, and even using W shadow didn’t help!

Now both Yasuo and Zed were level 2, but Yasuo was about to hit 3!

Zed wasn’t stupid. After losing a third of his HP, he got cautious, knowing their mechanics weren’t on the same level. The opponent was clearing waves so fast, obviously trying to hit level 3 first.

Level 3! Zed watched Yasuo’s movements—Sweeping Blade, Sweeping Blade, closing in fast.

But it was useless. Even though he had his Q, Razor Shuriken, ready, there was no way the distance would let Yasuo land an EQ combo.

Ethan Carter smiled in front of his computer, his mind calm—a sword, a thought.

“What was that???”

“How is that possible???”
