For the fifth and st game, StormBlitz subbed in Venus once again.

  I suspect they wao gain experience. Fiona thought. She es across as a diamond in the rough. If her performance were more sistent, I see her being ranked among the best pyers in the region.

  Venus and Adapting were like por opposites. One was a votile pyer with high-highs and lohereas the other was a stable and polished veteran.

  At her highest, Venus was defihe greater threat of the two. However, more often than not, that girl stumbled ot carried away, which hurt her overall evaluation.

  I exploited her weaknesses multiple times during the first game. Fiona remihis is probably why they switched her out after that. They wao minimize risks and secure an easy victory.

  However, now that the score was 1-3 in StormBlitz’s favor, they no longer worried about “winning”. The st three games were so one-sided they made the Valkyries’ first victory look like a fever dream.

  But, that victory is something we definitely achieved. Fiona thought. So, we proved it is possible. We make it happen again.

  More specifically, Fiona was the one who had to make it happen. She was the main driving force behind the team’s first victory. She did it once, and she will do it again.

  As, it was naught but a pipe dream at the moment. Even though StormBlitz had already secured victory in the scrim, they did not pull any punches during the final game.

  As usual, they were on guard against Fiona during the opening. When she ran into the enemy Jungler, Hitter was apanying the man like a bodyguard. Clearly, StormBlitz did not want to give Fiona any opportuo create momentum.

  It was an honor that a fresh pyer like her mao leave such a sting impression on a powerhouse like StormBlitz. However, at the same time, this also made Fiona's life a huimes more difficult, as the enemy's caution tio extend beyond just the opening.

  During all parts of the game, it felt like StormBlitz was keeping a close eye on Fiona's movements. Oppos who ran into her in the jungle always avoided 1v1s, and the ners oftereated fast when Fiona started rotating in their general dire.

  Once again, I ot build any momentum. Fiona frowned. And, we are not getting ahead in any of the nes, either.

  In Top, lia's skill simply did not measure up to Hitter's, no matter how much the girl insisted otherwise. Her farming skills and overall deaking paled pared to her oppo's, leading to unfortunate is.

  "A-Ack! You darn plebeian...!" elia ranted. "How dare you clear out my army so quickly again!? This time, your transgression will not go unpunished!"

  "elia, please calm down," Fiona ordered. "It is unbeing of a dy to lose her cool like this."

  "H-Hmph, you're right. My apologies." elia took a deep breath. "I shan't let such base offe to me. I will simply beat him to the punext time.!"

  "That is the spirit." Fiona hough, I doubt you will be able to achieve that in this game.

  Their matchup was Berserker vs. Viking once again. Even though Berserker had the faster clearing speed on paper, Hitter had already learned all of lia's patterns and adjusted his farmihods accly.

  Before elia had the ce to unleash her Barbarian Sm, Hitter threw his axe at her from afar. It was a risky move because it drew the minions' aggro, but it allowed Hitter to pletely foil elia’s game pn.

  Berserker's main farming tool was Barbarian Sm, but it had to be fully charged to be truly worth it. And, since charging it up took time, the minions had to be as stationary as possible in order to hit them all together.

  Hitter made that difficult by getting the minions’ attention and drawing them to the sides of the he enemy minions chased him down, and in response, his own minions chased after lia's minions. It was like a domino effect.

  This always sent elia on a wild goose chase, which ultimately deyed her Barbarian Sm too much. By the time she got an opportunity to unleash it, half of the minions had already perished, making Barbarian Sm an unprofitable iment at that point.

  Slowly but surely, these repeated failures had been building lia's Rage meter. Not only in the game but also in real life.

  How much more will she be able to take before she blows up? Fiona wondered. I see she is putting more effort than usual into staying calm and collected, but the cracks are being increasingly visible...

  It was just a matter of time before elia hit her limits aered Berserk mode in real life. No matter how muakajima and Fioured the girl, elia could not suddenly do a 180 on her personality in such a short amount of time.

  I would gdly help her out in the ne, but Hitter does not let me fnk so easily. Fiona frowned. He is fully aware he is employing a risky tactic, so he uses the gained ne trol to secure himself a safe position. A smart approach.

  To avoid being ganked, Hitter always drew elia’s minions toward his tower area. He did not dare to stay on the frontline while so many enemies were targeting him. This was a man fully aware of the dangers his own py osing.

  I hope elia is watg and learning. Fiona thought. This is how a high-caliber pyer carries himself.

  In general, there was much elia could learn from Hitter. They were both pyers who leaoward an aggressive pystyle, but Hitter knew when and how to take risks.

  If elia could learn to py more like this, she would bee a splendid pyer. As...

  "ime for sure!" elia asserted. "I swear it on the von Galen name! In the wave, I shall crush this oner under my heel!"

  Sadly, it sounded like elia was too preoccupied with her ego test. At best, she would be open to learning something from Hitter when they review this match.

  All in all, the situation in Top was in StormBlitz's favor once again. Meanwhile, in Bot, Karen and Lua struggled as usual against the strong duo of Aegis and Athena...
