Chapter 362 Parachuting Into Mid Lane
```
Chen Yu didn't care about much, and the moment the match's alert sounded, his fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard.
He was taking over for Mao Xiaolong in the middle position.
Right off the bat, he concealed himself in a nearby blind spot.
This method of play was one of Mao Xiaolong's best.
Instead of facing the enemy directly, nor appearing in the viewers' sight immediately, he chose to hide himself away.
After thoroughly reviewing all of Mao Xiaolong's materials, Chen Yu immediately mastered this tactic.
Based on his usual style of play, he predicted a route Mao Xiaolong was very likely to take and hid himself there.
Sure enough, Mao Xiaolong moved at top speed through this area to roam towards the top lane.
His goal was to kill as many enemy heads as possible within the first three minutes of the game, to establish an advantage for his solo lane teammate.
Chen Yu certainly didn't indulge the opponent, and the moment he appeared, he burst out of the bushes with a combination of moves that left the enemy half-crippled.
Mao Xiaolong was taken aback, unable to believe that his preferred style of combat had been so thoroughly read by someone, and countered with such a perfect response.
His fingers raced across the keyboard, trying to dodge Chen Yu's pursuit and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
But the character controlled by Chen Yu seemed to not belong to the game at all, performing many unexpected actions.
No matter how Mao Xiaolong tried to dodge, he couldn't escape Chen Yu's combo.
And the skills he launched were dodged by Chen Yu at an incredibly strange angle.
In less than thirty seconds, Mao Xiaolong had lost the first head of the game.
Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief. It was his first time playing eSports in such an intense manner.
Many combos and maneuvers weren't very familiar to him, and given time to practice, perhaps he would need only ten seconds to take down the opponent.
Without lingering there, Chen Yu rushed to the top lane to collaborate with his own top laner to kill the enemy top laner.
The pace of the game was suddenly picked up by Chen Yu.
The live audience was shocked. What they had been looking forward to was Mao Xiaolong's surprise attacks.
But now, not only were his attacks being tightly constrained, but he was being killed in return.
Mao Xiaolong took a few deep breaths, filled with disbelief. Once he respawned, he immediately went around through the jungle area.
He wanted to find and kill Chen Yu for revenge.
Just as he was searching, there was trouble in the bottom lane.
Their adc and support were suddenly ambushed and killed by Chen Yu during the laning phase.
Mao Xiaolong panicked, his rhythm constantly disrupted by Chen Yu, and he knew he must find a way to break the cycle.
After taking a moment to adjust his breathing, he changed direction and headed straight for the top lane.
He wanted to capitalize on the gap Chen Yu left in the bottom lane to help turn the tide for his top laner.
But by the time he got there, it was too late.
His team's top laner had been decimated by the enemy.
Having secured several kills in a row, Chen Yu instantly became the brightest star in the arena, and those who were rooting for Mao Xiaolong began to switch their support to Chen Yu.
Some even started inquiring about Chen Yu's personal information, wanting to make a fan support sign for him on the spot.
And just as the crowd was boiling with support, Chen Yu suddenly rallied his team, charging down the mid lane.
They pushed all the way to the enemy high ground, and wiped out the opposing team.
The situation was now dominated, only the entrance of a player on par with Chen Yu could possibly turn the game around.
But it was all too late, as by the six-minute mark, Chen Yu led his team to destroy the opponent's Nexus.
```
"My God, the new guy is so impressive, I've never heard of him before in the gaming circle. Is he a new player?"
"He beat Mao Xiaolong in less than six minutes, it's miraculous!"
"No wonder they let Mao Xiaolong go so easily, they must have had an ace up their sleeve."
"The Tong Family is a major capital player, after all. For them to cultivate a top esports player, it's too easy."
...
The scene suddenly became noisy with all kinds of chatter, but Mao Xiaolong's fame and popularity he had built up over the years were likely thoroughly squandered because of this match.
Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly, he had finally understood all the match procedures and operating principles.
If there were another round, he was confident he could dominate the opponent within five minutes.
Just as he was about to put down his headphones and leave the stage, a teammate quickly grabbed him.
"Mr. Chen, we haven't won yet, the game format is best of five!"
Chen Yu smacked his forehead, he had indeed forgotten about that.
"From now on, everyone listen to me, we must defeat the opponent within five minutes!"
"Understood!"
Chen Yu's team immediately became fired up, as the despondency left by Mao Xiaolong's departure was nowhere to be found.
In the following two rounds, they almost completely steamrolled the competition.
The third round took just four minutes to break through to the opponent's crystal, creating a classic match since the start of esports competitions.
Chen Yu stretched his limbs and directly led the team out of the arena.
As soon as they stepped out, a large number of fans swarmed them, clamoring for Chen Yu's autograph.
He maintained a faint smile throughout, and after getting into the car with his team, they headed straight for Xiangyun Restaurant.
"Mr. Chen, I had no idea you were so skilled in esports!"
"Mao Xiaolong was considered the best player here, we never thought he could be defeated so easily."
"Could you teach us some tricks?"
...
Everyone at the moment had already started idolizing Chen Yu, gathering around him.
Chen Yu raised his glass.
"I merely trained specifically for a while beforehand, so I achieved this success, it's nothing to envy."
Everyone also raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Just then, the sound of angry cursing came from a private room next door.
"What the hell is wrong with you? After spending so much money to bring you over, you went and set the record for the fastest loss! Do you know our team might collapse from now on?"
Chen Yu frowned, picked up his glass, and went next door.
The team that battled against his today, sat together with faces full of dejection.
Especially Mao Xiaolong, with a life-questioning expression that would make anyone feel pity.
"Boss Hu!"
Chen Yu called out and walked straight over.
Hu Naichao was also a veteran in the esports industry, with three professional teams under his command.
He had been committed to building the strongest esports team in the world, thus investing the most in personnel, equipment, and many other details.
Even several teams owned by the Tong Family couldn't compare to the other side in overall strength.
If it hadn't been for Chen Yu's sudden intervention, this match might well have been won by the other side.
