Chapter 194: Fudan University’s Top Team!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Could you empathize with Blitzcrank’s team’s feelings, his hook pulling in a grenade?
Every one’s face was black, and the most important thing was that Morgana was in the middle of them all, opening an ulti that managed to catch all five of them inside!
“F*cking kill her already!”
Not sure who was the one who had shouted, but in that moment, all of their skills were thrown at Morgana immediately!
The Support’s health was already low, and with their combined skills, they could easily kill her to break the shackles that were latched onto them before it could complete it’s binding.
However, Fudan University’s team had made a very foolish and reckless decision in this case.
Ting!
Morgana’s body stood petrified where she was, encased in a beautiful gold crystallized form.
All of the skill shots went through and over her, and the Fallen didn’t receive any damage at all.
Zhonya’s!
At that point, the whole Fudan University’s team was stunned.
They had forgotten that this Support had a Zhonya’s!
The bomb was about to detonate, and the five of them were trying hard to escape in a hurry, using their Flash and ultis to get out. Those without repositioning skills were rooted to the spot by Morgana’s Soul Shackles!
Pong!
The binding was completed and Blitzcrank, the Jungler, and Top were rooted to the spot by the shackles, and you could see that they didn’t have much health left.
Although Morgana hadn’t managed to shackle all five of the champions, her aggressive ulti had wasted most of their opponents ultis and had also fully broken up their formations.
Shanghai University’s team followed up immediately, and the battlefield turned into a slaughter ground!
Blitzcrank who had been caught by the shackles was the first to be killed. The opponent Jungler was also caught again by another round of CC, and an ulti killed him. The next to die was the Top who had managed to run a distance after getting caught by Morgana’s shackles.
Three for none!
They had won this fight without much hassle!
Looking at the momentum that Shanghai University had gained, the whole club room was silent, but then it was broken by the cheering from their own team!
“Great ulti!”
“That was awesome!”
“I was thinking that he could have opened his shield all this time, why didn’t he open it when he got caught by Blitzcrank. So actually, he was already planning to use Blitzcrank’s hook and his own Flash to activate his ulti right in the middle of all of them, trying to catch all five together!” Qin Ting babbled, full of excitement. “If their ADC and AP hadn’t used their Flash and ulti, he could have caught all five!”
Yang Ying had already broken out into a smile. As expected, this kid didn’t disappoint him. Luocheng was really something, exploiting Blitzcrank’s hook to assist him in releasing such a beautiful ulti.
Haih, Blitzcrank was probably getting scolded by his own teammates. Really, the champions that he shouldn’t hook were only a few, Amumu, Karthus, Wukong, and a Morgana who had a Zhonya’s!
Yang Ying let his gaze sweep over the Fudan University’s team members that were playing, and sure enough, the Support was getting an earful from them.
This let out Yang Ying’s inner demon, cackling in glee.
“Little junior, you’re making me fall in love with you.” Meiqi exclaimed loudly, almost knocking down everyone present in the room.
Can you calm down, beautiful?
Luocheng’s face flushed red once he heard that, hurriedly coughing to hide his embarrassment.
Ugh…say that privately to him, would you?
“Your Support is a newbie?” Huang Lin couldn’t help but burst out.
Damn it, this Support was like a professional player that had been invited in, he totally did not play like a newbie at all.
“Yeah, he was just recruited. This is his first time on stage, so maybe he’s a bit nervous. It’s a bit hard to fault him, him being a newbie and all…” Yang Ying laughed slightly and said.
“Haha…” Huang Lin laughed together with him, but on the inside he was thinking, ‘Nervous? You’re f*cking kidding me!’
Instantly shielding was not the game breaker, a twenty minutes Zhonya’s, THAT was the mind blowing ulti!
Damn it, if their team had such a Morgana as their Support, Huang Lin would be the one laughing instead.
To be honest, this whole game was Morgana’s stage.
Both top lane and mid lane were more or less equal in strength, even their Junglers were on par with each other. The downfall came when the income gap grew, and they had even lost the Dragon and the turrets.
Not to mention the mid lane teamfight in which Morgana had purposely gotten herself hooked in only to activate her ulti right in the middle of them…
This really was a match that was being carried by the Support!
Supports who could normally pace the game were champions like Alistair, Blitzcrank, Thresh, or Leona. Compared to Morgana, that this unconventional Support could actually pace and carry the game to such a surprising extent, this was a first for Huang Lin!
***
This match, the game was won without much hassle.
Just as Luocheng had said, he just needed to win this, right!
Now, no one could point fingers to blame Luocheng for going out to take a call. Instead, they should be asking him whether he had finished his call, and if he hadn’t, he should use the break time of ten minutes to hurry up and finish up the call. Who needed a strategy meeting, it wasn’t necessary at all now!
“That was great!” Yang Ying said, slapping Luocheng on the back.
“Little junior, do you have a girlfriend. Our Zheng Xia said she wants…”
“Shut up, you minx!” Zheng Xia hurriedly covered Meiqi’s mouth with her hands.
Watching the two beautiful seniors squabble, Luocheng felt a little bad.
“The Support role for the first team is yours, I can’t match up to you.” Qin Ting said.
Jian Feng pursed his lips and glared at Luocheng, but sighed and nonchalantly said, “Shit, if you were that good, you should have played first.”
This match, they had only changed their Support, and had switched between the ADC and Jungler. However, it was obvious that the glory had been taken by Luocheng, the Support, and the match had ended before it had even reached thirty minutes.
“Do you want to change to AP? I remember Yang Ying said that your AP was great too, in the cyber cafe competition, you were able to win a 4v5.” Mr Fang said, looking at Luocheng.
They had finally managed to recruit a promising freshman, looks like there was still hope for the university to reach a higher rank!
“My AP is merely mediocre, not really that stable. I’m still better at Support.” Luocheng said, shaking his head.
Luocheng hadn’t bothered to invest too much time to train his AP and top lane positions. Since he only had so much time for LOL, he focused more on bot lane.
Of course, Luocheng liked to play Jungler too, he liked setting the pace for the game. It’s just that using a Jungler to pace and carry the game was not as satisfying as using a Support to do it!
***
After the ten minute break, both sides were getting ready to enter into their third match. Just as they were about to sit down, a group of people entered the club room.
These few people were wearing a white uniform, and on the chest area there was an E-sports eagle and Fudan University’s logo entangled together, as though hiding some meaning behind it.
There were four of them, and when they walked in, a bunch of students followed them in, and it looked as though they were welcoming some celebrities.
There were about fifty to sixty of them, and most of them were girls. Yang Ying and Xiao Jia’s faces were twisted into a grimace.
“They are…” Mr Fang asked, as he watched the four popular people walk in.
“It’s Fudan University’s first team.” Yang Ying said, his voice somber.
After the four of them had entered the room, the club members surrounded them, and it was obvious that the Fudan University E-sports club was centered around them. You could clearly see the worship in the eyes of the male students, and the admiration in the girl students around them.
Luocheng didn’t expect that after E-sports, it was possible to eventually gain such a solid position in the university, especially in this era where everyone could play LOL. People who could play well would definitely be supported!
“You’re here.” Huang Lin said, a slight relief in his voice which gave back his usual confidence.
“Yeah.” The blonde handsome boy in the group said, nodding his head slightly.
He glanced over at the Shanghai University students and walked over with a smile on his face.
“Who is this?” Mr Fang asked.
Yang Ying’s expression was strained, and he whispered, “It’s their top team’s leader—Lin Siyong!
“He’s the top player in university E-sports, not bad looking too.” Meiqi interjected quietly.
Lin Siyong, Fudan University top team’s leader. In the national E-sports competition, this player had shocked all the universities in the country with his outstanding performance, leaving the old engineering universities that were always good at E-sports behind in the dust, claiming the championship without breaking a sweat!
Moreover, when playing in the LPL quarterfinals, Fudan University had won two games out of five, forcing them to play the fifth match.
After the release of the matches, the entire E-sports circle was astonished! A university team had actually managed to hold their own against the top eight teams?
If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t have believed such an outlandish story!
Luocheng had also had his eye on this outstanding team at that point of time.
Apart from the top eight LPL teams, Fudan University’s team was one with the highest support on the internet. Even as students, sometimes their popularity even surpassed those professional players, making those first seed teams feel embarrassed.
More importantly, if Lin Dong and Team Skycrown were to enter into the LPL, then Fudan University’s team would be the most powerful competitor for the placing!
Only by defeating Fudan University would Team Skycrown be able to shock the world.
Since they were already here, he could test their strength himself.

Luocheng had put his name down as the coach for Team Skycrown, and if he had the chance to hit a big obstacle roadblock like this, he was willing to kick it to see how hard it was for the team!
