Dark Knight vs. Viking. The two bruisers stared each other dowher of them was willing to make the first move.

  He seems fazed. William analyzed. If he wasn’t, he would’ve tioward the hout stopping. After all, by all ats, his css is still stro this point in the game.

  The fact Memer halted at the mere sight of William meant a couple of things. First of all, the guy definitely didn't see this ing. After all, if he could predict this sario, then he would have e up with a solution ahead of time and executed it right away.

  Also, this implies I even caught their shot-caller off-guard. What an honor.

  Chessmaster's ploys had been messing a lot with the Leopards today, so it felt good to finally take a direct jab at that schemer. William pulled the rug right uhe tacti's legs! Delicious.

  But, there was still more that could be cluded from Memer’s rea. The fact the guy stopped in pce implied he was instinctively wary of having this fight.

  As a Dark Knight in the early-game, Memer should've been fearless against any oppo who crossed his path. Even while starving, a DK was still very much a force to be reed with.

  Yet, Memer was definitely on guard against William. There was a smell of fear in the air.

  I've actually seen a lot of evidence pointing toward that clusion. William thought ba all the exges he had with Memer during this game. Even though they met a handful of times, they had never crossed bdes directly. Their meetings always ended with Memer giving up on the fight areating.

  It was in stark trast pared to how ballsy Memer had been ag otherwise. The guy realized that he couldn't score any easy kills, so he opted for the best thing: stealing jungle farm. And, with his powerful Dark Bst that could one-shot the smaller camps, it was only natural to pursue that path.

  In fact, the guy mao steal a handful of camps even under William's tight supervision. By the end of the day, William was just one pyer, so he couldn't be everywhere at once.

  Besides, there were also sarios where William was on the se and still had no choice but to give up. For example, when Memer aeamed up at the Griffin Camp, there recious little William could do to stop them.

  I could've teamed up with Sonya, but a 2v2 is infinitely more plex than a 1v1. They probably would have targeted Sonya first, so anything could’ve happehere. William thought. I'm fident in keeping myself alive in a 1v1, but I’m not fident enough that I also protect a teammate in a situation like this.

  Thus, William had no choice but to give up on some of his farm on rare occasions like this. But, other than these specific sarios, every other time he was on the se he properly defended his camps. And, he didn’t eve muergy to do so.

  All I did was get to get there. That alone immediately disced Memer fr anything funny.

  Memer didn’t even try to lift a fi William during these exges. Despite being a cocky DK memer, the guy politely turned around areated every time.

  Holy, it seemed a little odd the first few times. However, o turned into a pattern, it became obvious what was going on.

  He’s afraid of me. William cluded. Or, to be exact, he’s afraid of the risk that es with fighting me. Hmph. I’m gd a left such a strong impressioe how the st two games went down.

  Admittedly, William hadn’t had that many opportuo show his mettle i two games. As the Carry, he was locked away in Bot, where he sistently had to bat the powerhouse that was Gunz.

  Perhaps those reciated Gunz's skills realized just how amazing William was foing toe-to-toe with that beast. But, to those who only analyzed the game at a surface level, William's pys probably didn't leave much of an impression.

  I'm gd that even a memer is smarter than that. William nodded in satisfa. So far, Stratus as a whole is living up to my expectations. In fact, I'll even say they've surpassed them.

  The two previous scrimmages the Leopards pyed were a total joke, but at least Stratus osing some challeoday. This reassured William a little about the skill level of the region.

  Now I’m curious to see how strong StormBlitz is. William thought. But, that's a topic for ter. Right now, I o defuse this DK.

  William moved from side to side to match the Dark Knight's movements. It seemed the guy thought he’ll be able to sneak past William unscratched, but there was ing through William's calcuted zoning.

  William was far enough from the eo be able to rea time to an ining Dark Bst, but he also positioned himself in front of a narrow passage to make sure it was impossible to slip past him. This passage was the shortest way to reach Top, so naturally, Memer wao walk right through it. But, he couldn’t.

  You 't get to Top without eating some damage or making a detour. William decred. So, what are you going to do?

  The shortest path was blocked. Realistically, Memer's only two optioo bust through by force or retreat. Using a different route would take way too much time to be relevant.

  No matter which py Memer picks, it’ll lead to his downfall all the same. The guy merely had the option to decide which poison he preferred more, that’s all.
