Ever since Kai killed the Pirate, the enemy Lumimancer has been turtling and there weren't any good opportuo score additional kills here. From what Yuel could see, one of their best line of py was to keep pushing the Turret uhe Lumimancer’s hat was good and all, but couldn't they go for a stronger py than that?

  Fortunately, an iing piece of information came up: an allied ward revealed the enemy Vampire heading toward the Wolf Camp near Bot Lane. He surely inteo farm the camp and he might drop by Bot Lao help with the defense effort. This was a great ake a strong ving py.

  Their Mid is in Mid and their Top is in Top. Perfect. Yuel o himself. There was no ybody from other nes would interfere with his pn. Only the Lumimancer could help the Vampire out but that guy has already proved himself to be areme turtle who didn’t want to stick out his neck for others.

  “Let's gank the Vampire,” Yuel suggested.

  “I was thinking about it, actually,” Kai said. “The Mid and Top are in their nes, so we're good as far as those are ed.”

  She really pays attention, Yuel nodded in approval. I'd kill for Lars to have such a keen map awareness.

  “But,” Kai tinued. “What about the Lumi? He's right here so he might pull something.”

  “Maybe. But, remember: we already got plenty of evidence he’s the type who doesn’t like taking any risks.”

  “ht. He probably won’t be ing.”

  “Even if he does, I don't see us losing much. It'll be a 2v2 and we disengage if we don't like how things are going. It's a low-risk high-rey.”

  “Huh, I see that now. Alright, I'm i's go get that Vampire.”

  “Wait,” Yuel called out before Kai ventured into the Juhrough the entran the enemy side. “It'll be too obvious if we ehe Jungle from here. Let's gh the middle to pretend like we might be going for our Wolf Camp or rotating.”

  “Taking things to the level, huh. Alright. I just hope we don't let him slip away.”

  “We got time,” Yuel took into at the fact the Vampire was a bruiser, which meant it’ll take the guy a while to clear the camp. So, taking a little detour to ceal their pns was alright.

  Yuel and Kai retreated from the enemy's side of the ne aered the juhrough the middle. This made it look like they were leaving the o go elsewhere. Maybe they were going to farm jungle camps? Maybe they were rotating to gank Mid? The enemy must have been asking themselves such questiht now.

  They took the bait. Yuel smirked as the enemy Mid Laner retreated. That was clearly a termeasure against a potential Mid gank. The uainty surrounding this py diverted the enemy’s attention from the real py Yuel cooked up.

  “Let me initiate please,” Yuel said. “I'll make a arallel to you behind the Vampire so just shoot on my sign.”

  “Sure.”

  “Okay, so,” Yuel positiohe ice wall. “Now!”

  He erected the ice erfectly. It stretched in parallel to where Kai ositioned. So, no matter how she fires her Impale, it was going to push the Vampire into the wall for sure. All Kai had to do was to quickly throw her spear and the Vampire won't even know what hit him! ... at least, that was the pn.

  Kai didn't throw Impale right away. She first waited to the ice wall to form and only then threw her spear. Unfortunately, that was too te.

  The ice wall alerted the Vampire about the ining gank, so he didn't waste any time and turned into a bat. Thanks to his quick rea, he dodged Kai's Impale and fled from the se. The gank failed.

  “Why didn’t you use Impale right away?” Yuel asked. “I gave you the sign early.”

  “Yeah, I heard the sign. I threw it as soon as there was a wall.”

  “There was o wait for it,” Yuel sighed. “I made sure to pce the wall in such a way that you'll push the Vampire into it no matter what. You just had to shoot at my sign.”

  “Well, excuse me,” Kai narrowed her eyes. “How was I supposed to know for sure you’ll pce the wall where I ? That’s why I prefer to pce Iron Maiden myself and then impale. That way, I know for sure I go for it right away.”

  “I see,” Yuel said. Truth to be told, this one was his fault. For some reason, he expected Kai, of all people, to blindly trust him on the first try without any prior practice. He pletely fot he wasn’t pying with Lars right now.

  Sigh. There was still a long road before his unication skills reach a det level. Even though he mao vince Kai to be more cooperative, they still had a long way to go before they could pull off strong pys together.

  “ you try it ime please?” Yuel asked. “Don’t wait for the wall to appear. Just shoot when I give the sign.”

  “I try, sure.”

  Sometime ter, anreat opportunity preseself. Yuel suggested to rotate to Mid and gank the enemy Sorcerer. Ohey approached the ne, he gave the same instrus as before.

  “I’ll make a wall. Impale as soon as you hear my sign.”

  “Alight.”

  “So... now!” Yuel raised his voiake sure Kai didn’t miss the sign.

  “Ah, oh!” Kai flinched for a moment before shooting. As a result, she thrust her spear a little too te.

  Thankfully, this Sorcerer pyer didn’t have the same rea speed as the Vampire, so the spear successfully impaled him into the ice wall. Yuel extehe stun with Ice Coffin and Kai killed the Sorcerer together with Lars.

  “You impaled te again,” Yuel ented after the py was over.

  “Ah, well,” Kai shifted her eyes away. “But, I impaled him, right? We got the kill.”

  “Only because he didn’t react fast enough.”

  “Yeah, I guess so,” Kai shrugged. “You’re really bossy, you know that? It’s pretty damn hard to shoot a skill blindly like that without even knowing whether a wall will be there or not.”

  “You just have to trust that the wall to be there and shoot. It’s not that hard.”

  “I’d say it’s pretty damn hard, though.”

  “Okay, noted,” Yuel had to cede here. Maybe he was wrongly using Lars and Ellen as prime examples for Carries. Perhaps not everybody could put their faith in the Support’s initiation, especially not on the first try. Thinking ba it, Taison also gave Yuel some trouble on this topic but that guy was a total deli so Yuel disregarded that experience.

  Either way, it seemed like it’d take a while before Yuel and Kai learn to execute quick pys that required trust. Then again, it wasn’t like Yuel articurly ied in it. After all, ultimately, the team’s Bot duo will be him and Lars, not him and Kai.

  Based on Vi and Kai’s attitude, Yuel has already proven himself as the best Support the team had to offer. So, it was easy for him to seize the positiht here and now. All that was left was for Lars to get the Carry role. But, Kai refused to budge on that topic.

  Still, in the end, Lars will be the team’s Carry. Even though Kai was a solid pyer, her pystyle didn’t work the best for how a Carry should be. She was too self-suffit for her own good.

  For example, no matter how many times Yuel criticized her on this, Kai kept buying two wards every time she returo base. It was an unnecessary iment for a Carry. Instead, she should have focused on finishing her build faster. Warding in Bot should’ve been primarily Yuel’s job during the early game but Kai insisted to do everything herself.

  Kai wao initiate herself, to set up kills for herself, to ward herself, and to do literally everything possible herself. It was admirable but also ineffit. The Support and Carry shared a ne in order to split the burdeween them, not for one of them to do 100% of the work.

  Ironically, as much as Yuel criticized Lars’s fws, these fws actually made it easier to py Support for that goof. Lars was g in a bunch of very specific areas so Yuel covered up for those. And, since Lars knew where his own weaknesses were, he was more than happy to split the burden with Yuel and focus only on the parts he excelled at, such as crushing the opposition in battle.

  pared to Lars, Kai didn’t seem to have any gring weakhat was something Yuel sensed all the way back when he pyed against her and now he was vinced: she was very self-suffit, to the point there weren’t any big holes in her pystyle.

  However, as a result, she wao hog all the work herself and didn’t feel fortable sharing any of the burdens with Yuel. That kind of mi was fine for Mid and Top but not for a Carry. So, even though Yuel would kill for Lars to have amazing map awareness and sharp deaking like Kai’s, he also absolutely didn’t want Lars to bee anything like Kai.

  I see her pying a solid Mid. Yuel o himself. With how self-reliant and all-rounded Kai was, there was no doubt she’d excel in Mid. This was good. It meant that, once Yuel and Lars bee the team’s official Bot duo, all the other roles will have promising didates too.

  For Mid, there was Kai. For Juhere was Luke who, despite his memeing, was a solid pyer. As for Top, there were two options oable: Vi or Ben. Whie will make it into the final roster? Today’s practice matches should give Yuel a hint.

  After Kai enough and uanding what type of pyer she was, it was time to focus on Ben’s performan Top.
