Mille said in an unbelievable tone, “Sion as a Support? I have been an a.n.a.lyst for a long time and have only seen Sion once during a professional match. It was used as in the top-lane and it ended up losing miserably to the opposition.”
“Sion, no displacement spells, no damage, long spellcast time for Q. No one liked to use this champion for the top-lane but G.o.d Kun is actually using it for Support?”
“Support Sion did appear in public games, but… it isn"t very effective.” Rita felt worried for Xiao Ran.
When Xiao Ran selected his Support champion, the entire venue was in a huge uproar!
“My outlook of this world…”
“6666, China"s no.1 Support, I will only yield to G.o.d Kun!”
“G.o.d Kun"s Support champion selection has gotten this chick wet.”
“Unconventional, truly unconventional. I am looking forward to the brilliant performance of G.o.d Kun"s Support Sion.”
“Did he get this wrong? Support Sion? This isn"t a ranked match, this is a professional match!”
“This brother, a single glance and I know you have never watched G.o.d Kun"s livestream. My G.o.d Kun has used Jungler Twitch, Jungler Kog"Maw, Support Evelynn, even when he reached the top of China"s Challenger tier, he played Mid-Lane Katarina. So what if it is Support Sion?”
“6666666!”
No matter what, the entire venue"s audience had been blinded.
At this moment, most of their minds only have a single thought: What is this? This is a professional match and he is actually using this champion for Support? It is going to work?!
Xiao Ran"s Sion pick had stunned countless viewers and players in the LSPL"s streaming room. The shattering sound of gla.s.ses could be heard clearly.
Using this to play Support?
“What is wrong with the new Support player in JAY? Support Sion? You might as well hang your mum on the tree!”
“What dog s.h.i.t is this? He is actually playing the G.o.d d.a.m.n Support Sion? I"m done.”
“Hey, this Sion is really s.l.u.tty!”
The streaming room was filled with curses and countless criticisms.
But Xiao Ran had plenty of fans too. Some of them talked back with words like ‘The hea.r.s.e of the haters" moms would drift and send the corpse flying" or ‘your brain is crippled, get lost and study for another year".
But there were more people that were worried for Xiao Ran.
To play Support Sion in the professional league. It was a little hard to say…
When Xiao Ran heard the chaos after he picked the champion, he chuckled as it was all within his expectation.
Xiao Ran"s understanding for the champions was already extremely thorough.
Furthermore, he had researched strategies according to each champion"s characteristics.
Even those unpopular champions could be used with proper strategies and he would put in effort to develop them.
No matter how exotic they were, it was fine if they could be used!
The combination of Kalista and Sion was a kind of strategy and it was a very dirty strategy…
“Alright, both teams" champions have been locked in. Next, let"s enjoy the great performance from both teams in this match.”
Blue side: Top-lane Gnar, Mid-lane Ca.s.siopeia, Jungler Elise, Support Braum, ADC Caitlyn.
Red side: Top-lane Rumble, Mid-lane Malzahar, Jungler Graves, Support Sion, ADC Kalista.
When the game was loading, Mille a.n.a.lyzed, “This match"s bot-lane is truly hard to say.”
wawa: Kalista isn"t a spell-type champion and predominantly uses normal attacks. Therefore, Braum wouldn"t be effective against Kalista.
Rita: Actually, I feel that the highlight is on the Junglers. Elise is a champion spurred by rhythm. Graves would need to think of ways to make sure his teammates wouldn"t suffer so much from Elise"s ganks and don"t get baited frequently. When all the lanes are at level 6, Graves will then save the world.
Mille: Yes, JAY composition doesn"t have any good crowd control spells during the early-game phase. Even if Graves helps to gank, it wouldn"t be very effective. They have to hold on until they hit level 6.
wawa: That"s right, as for Elise, she would need to gain her rhythm before reaching level 6. Let"s take a look at the synergy with other lanes, is there any synergy? I feel that Elise will mainly be ganking bot-lane.
Rita: I feel that it will be good to gank the top-lane too. At least the top-laner can also slow the enemy, right? If Elise coordinates with Gnar, it is rather possible to kill Rumble. Moreover, Gnar has a slight advantage against Rumble in lane and would be able to constantly put pressure on Rumble.
“Welcome to Summoner"s Rift!”
The stimulating female system voice echoed as everyone entered the game.
Rita: Alright, the match is starting. Ladies and gentlemen, this will be the first match of LSPL"s Week 8, WYD vs JAY.
This was Xiao Ran"s debut and he had put down an insane bet of $2 million in illegal betting. As such, Xiao Ran didn"t hesitate to buy the [Bless Card], [Steal Dragon/Buff Card], and [G.o.d"s Vision Card].
Why did he buy the [Steal Dragon/Buff Card] too?
Who said that Sion couldn"t steal the dragon? He had damage spells too, okay?!
Both teams started peacefully. Xiao Ran and the ADC helped Graves to hit the blue buff a few times before coming onto the lane.
Once Xiao Ran and the ADC got into the lane, they had been shaving off the health of the minions while Xiao Ran said, “Quickly clear the melee minions and freeze the lane. They are definitely fighting the krug camp, we will strive for level 2 first and start a fight.”
After killing the three melee minions, Xiao Ran controlled Sion and plunged into the bot-lane brush.
The opposition"s Braum and Caitlyn had finally rushed to the lane after the three melee minions were killed.
Xiao Ran walked around the brush and whenever Braum came over, he would charge up his Q to chase Braum away and to prevent Braum from planting a ward in the brush.
As for the opposition"s Caitlyn, she would frequently look for chances to poke at Xiao Ran"s Sion but Xiao Ran didn"t care.
The bot-lane looked to be very peaceful now but Xiao Ran and his ADC knew that the bot-lane was going to have a storm soon.
“Hurry up, one more minion and I will reach level 2!”
Xiao Ran entered the brush and the enemy Braum wanted to come over to the brush and plant a ward.
“Level 2, fight!”
When Braum was still moving towards the brush, Xiao Ran"s Sion had already reached level 2 first. He instantly picked the E spell and pushed Braum away before charging his Q spell.
When Braum"s ward was planted, Sion"s Q spell had already been fully charged and smashed down.
wawa exclaimed: Sion"s Q spell had stunned two of the enemy champions!!!
Mille: Earlier on, Sion was in the brush, hence, the opposition couldn"t see the effects of the charging of the Q spell. If the charging time is enough, the enemies struck would be knocked back and stunned
Rita: JAY"s ADC is also going in. Braum isn"t level 2 yet and hasn"t learned the E spell yet, he doesn"t have the shield!!
“Spear attack, spear attack. After Braum got hit by Sion"s E spell, he has been slowed and is extremely slow. Braum has used Flash to escape but Kalista has used Flash to follow up.”
“Braum health is very low now and has finally put Exhaust on Kalista. Caitlyn used Heal and brought Braum"s health back up a little.”
“Kalista and Sion are in relentless pursuit. Another spear attack and another. Braum finally arrived under the tower, such a close shave.”
“It isn"t over yet, not over yet!” wawa yelled excitedly, “Kalista"s Q has struck on Braum. Kalista might have been Exhausted but Braum doesn"t have his shield either.”
“Pull the spears, the damage is enough!”
Subsequently, Xiao Ran yelled out while his ADC pressed on the E spell.
“First Blood!”
The female system voice notified the entire Summoner"s Rift.
Kalista"s E spell ‘Rend": Kalista"s spears pierce their target, lingering for 4 seconds. Activating the spell will rip the spears from nearby targets, dealing physical damage and slowing their Movement Speed for 2 seconds.
Braum had turned into a ‘peac.o.c.k" after Kalista"s E spell and tributed the First Blood.
