During the drafting phase, while Tan Jia Cheng is thinking hard what hero to pick, Damian Cheng instantly locks in Dazzle, the Shadow Priest without a second thought.
"Do you really like Dazzle that much? I saw your Dotabuff account and you had played nothing else other than Dazzle for the past three months." Tan Jia Cheng said as he locked in Sven, the Rogue Knight.
As he was purchasing items, Damian Cheng casually answers Tan Jia Guang by telling him that everyone he was playing with is idiots that love to rush in headfirst into death's mouth, so Dazzle, the Shadow Priest with the Shallow Grave ability is the wisest choice.
The game finally started as their eyes locked onto their heroes and the surrounding environment, the commanded their heroes to walk towards top lane which was also known as the safe lane.
Two heroes walked together on the dark soil as they headed towards the bounty rune spawn. As the timer slowly ticked two other figures appeared from behind a barren tree and started to attack both of them.
"Sven, don't stun yet. Wait for my command." Damian Cheng directed Tan Jia Guang as he was about to press the Q key.
He then made Dazzle, the Shadow Priest use Poison Touch and slowly started to whittle down their enemies' health with normal attacks.
"Hey, hey, hey what are you doing? Stop!" Tan Jia Guang shouted as Damian Cheng commanded Dazzle, the Shadow Priest to stop attacking and move forward towards the enemies.
Damian Cheng ignored Tan Jia Guang's shouting and told him to stun the moment he said so.
Their enemies grabbed the opportunity and started attacking Damian Cheng as the thought of getting first blood clouded their minds.
"Stun."
Sven, the Rogue Knight left gauntlet started to glow an eye-catching bright light and shot out a golden fist towards the enemies stunning them both.
First blood
Double kill
"Nice, looks like you aren't some alien that can't understand human language." Damian Chen said as Dazzle, the Shadow Priest headed towards the radiant bounty rune spawn to steal it.
The horn finally sounded, signaling to the players that the never-ending war of the ancients had started once more.
Dazzle, the Shadow Priest hid within the covers of the forest as he harassed the enemy carry like an annoying mosquito while Sven, the Rogue Knight cheerfully farmed the radiant creep waves.
After five minutes of being suppressed and bullied by the duo, the radiant heroes finally snapped and lunged towards Dazzle, the Shadow Priest.
Luckily, Damian's Dazzle had picked the skill Shallow Grave beforehand and used it at the right moment. Saving himself from dying at the hands of the radiant heroes.
Right at this moment a light blue streak crashed through the shadows and smashed onto Dazzle who was about to escape to safety.
Dazzle, the Shadow Priest was hit by Barathrum, the Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness, and was stunned.
Seeing his support in trouble, Sven the Rogue Knight rushed towards the rescue by landing a stun on the enemy.
"What are you doing? Go away, you can't beat them!" Damian Cheng shouted as he turned his head towards Tan Jia Guang who is sitting beside him.
Yet, Tan Jia Guang let out a chuckle and turned his head in the direction of his carry. "Sorry, I won't let anyone die under my watch."
Double Kill
In the end, even though with Tan Jia Guang's Sven, the Rogue Knight stepped in the both of them still died in the end.
"Sorry, my bad. I should have listened to your command." Tan Jia Guang apologized after both of them had died.
Damian Cheng did not answer back, leaving an awkward silence and the sound of keyboards tapping between them.
Even after a blunder like that the both of them are still dominating the lane and took down the enemies' top lane tower.
As soon as the tower has fallen, five figures jumped out from every direction and started attacking Dazzle, the Shadow Priest, and Sven, the Rogue Knight.
"Leave me behind, I will distract them!" Damian Cheng ordered as he prepares to cast a Shallow Grave and fight it out with the enemy.
