League of Legends: League of Unknowns

During the ten-minute half time, Fudan University’s team members all looked as though they’d seen a ghost.

“How can it be? It feels as if the one playing ADC is a completely different person now.” Wang Lin said.

Siyong was Fudan University’s strongest player, he shouldn’t have lost the lane that easily.

In the first two matches, it was undeniable that the enemy ADC was just a piece of trash, but why had their captain gotten beaten up in the third match?

“Calm down guys, we just have to not lose again.”

Fudan University’s members all nodded, but Siyong remained silent the whole time, not uttering even a single word.

…

During the short break, Luocheng went up on the stage and put his hand on Xiao Bei’s head with a big smile on his face.

“Great job, nicely done.”

Xiao Bei had really outdone himself this time and even Luocheng was surprised.

It was good that he had finally regained his composure. Luocheng had always been worried about him not being able to conquer this challenge.

Winning or losing, the fate of their team lay in the results of the third match. Throughout the entire match, Luocheng had not blinked for even a second. He was more worried than anyone else on the team for Xiao Bei. Luckily, Xiao Bei had managed to calm down and not disappoint them all.

There were countless people in the crowd who were supporting Fudan University, and the only one who was rooting for Team Skycrown this whole time was none other than Luocheng. His hope for Team Skycrown to win had to be greater than the thousands of people there.

No one understood more than he did about the hardships they had gone through to build this team. There was definitely no one other than Luocheng who knew that other than gaming, Team Skycrown had nothing left. Even if Fudan University team lost, they would still be university students and have many avid fans.

But if Team Skycrown lost, they would be losing everything they ever had! Luocheng himself was not sure where he had gotten the courage to leave the fate of the match in Xiao Bei’s shaking hands which couldn’t even hold a keyboard and mouse properly.

Everyone from Team Skycrown knew that Xiao Bei had an immense amount of potential, he had shown talents that surpassed anyone of his generation. Before, he had been ranked tenth place on the nation’s leaderboard, and he was also the only ADC in the top ten!

Finally, he had done it!

Xiao Bei conquering his fear and taking this step was much more important to Luocheng than the result of this match. Luocheng had always known that Xiao Bei would climb to the top eventually.

“Miss Aijing, why did you change the stats again?” Xiao Wang stood at the side, looking at Aijing’s laptop.

Aijing had no choice but to change Xiao Bei’s statistics. In the last match, Xiao Bei’s performance was exhilarating! It was as though someone else was playing the game for him.

If this was Xiao Bei’s real strength, Team Skycrown possibly had another first-class player in their team!

…

The next match soon began.

It seemed as though Lady Luck had taken Team Skycrown’s side.

Fudan University entered Team Skycrown’s jungle once again as a team. Unfortunately for them, they were ambushed by Team Skycrown and three of them were killed.

These three kills meant a lot to Team Skycrown. By using the advantage obtained by these three kills, Team Skycrown started to snowball in their respective lanes, slowly but steadily gaining the upper hand.

The first to win his lane was Da Luo in the top lane. After he had gotten one kill, it was as if he had become the demon king himself, tanking the damage dealt from the Jungler and the two Top players of the enemy team while still getting a kill and escaping with a small sliver of health remaining!

This play shocked everyone present and some people even started to support Team Skycrown.

In actuality, Team Skycrown had done great in the past three games. All of them had shown their professionalism, using their highly complex and polished skills to gain the upper hand in their lanes. The losses in the first two matches were mostly due to Xiao Bei losing the bottom lane.

In the third match, everyone from Team Skycrown had shown their unparalleled strength. The Top was able to 1vs2, the Mid had twenty more creep scores as compared to the enemy Mid, the jungle had become Zhou Yan’s personal garden, and not to mention, Xiao Bei’s last hits were on point, slowly increasing the gap of last hits between him and his opponent!

Under normal circumstances, Da Luo preferred to remain solo at the top lane and split from his teammates, but this time, he started to roam. He went to the mid lane and then to the jungle for a walk, afterward, even pushing the bottom lane tower. After the seventh minute, as long as the Dragon was still alive, Da Luo would always appear at the mid lane or the bottom lane.

…

The first three deaths in the team fight had demoralized Fudan University’s team greatly. Following that, they were unable to gain the upper hand.

After about twenty minutes, through killing the dragon and pushing towers, Team Skycrown’s combined gold was ahead by more than six thousand!

Group up and push!

As if they were well-trained soldiers who were ready for a battle, Team Skycrown never once stopped forcing their enemy into a fight, it didn’t even matter if they were within the tower range.

The members of Team Skycrown all knew it clearly, if they dragged the game on, they would definitely lose the advantage they had gained. Hence, they used this strategy from the very beginning, fighting as hard as they could to gain the advantage over their opponents.

After being in countless professional competitions, being on the global battlefield, how could they lose to a mere university’s team? How could they lose before even making it close to the top?

“After getting the buff from Baron Nashor, Team Skycrown is unstoppable. It looks like this match has already been decided!” Qi Qiao said.

The one thing that a team needed was morale, and Team Skycrown had uncontestable morale levels right now!

Following a team fight which ended with two dead from Team Skycrown and four dead from Fudan University, Team Skycrown pushed their way onto their opponent’s high ground and destroyed their middle inhibitor.

After the inhibitor was destroyed, Fudan University rushed to the Baron, trying to buy themselves precious time for a comeback.

Sadly for them, Team Skycrown was quick in defending the Baron. Inevitably, Fudan University was teamwiped at the Baron’s position, giving Team Skycrown an ACE!

Upon losing the high ground, the big ACE words that appeared on the screen signaled that the match was about to be over!

“Nice! We’ve won two matches!” Da Luo put down his headphones, grinning from ear to ear.

In this game, Da Luo had single-handedly disrupted the flow of Fudan University’s team, and this made Da Luo feel unimaginable satisfaction.

After leaving the professional scene for so long, Da Luo had felt that his reaction time was deteriorating. It was just recently that he had found his touch back, and in this match, he felt as if he had broken through a bottleneck and obtained a higher level of skill.

Lin Dong let out a huge sigh of relief. They had won two matches, that was great. If they were to fall now, no one would be satisfied. Even so, this gave Lin Dong valuable information.

In the LOL professional scene, there were more and more skillful players appearing. It didn’t matter that they had been in the global league once. If a mere team from a university could threaten them like this, they wouldn’t have any hope of beating the top teams in the LPL anymore.

“Congratulations to Team Skycrown for winning the fourth match! It is hard to imagine that Team Skycrown actually made such a beautiful comeback and has won two games in a row, resulting in a draw for now. You have to give them credit for being so skillful.” Qi Qiao continued, “It seems like Fudan University is facing some challenges right now, they might need more time to regain their composure. The fifth match will be the key to victory!”

Because the first two matches had gone extremely smoothly, it had made everyone think that Fudan University was definitely going to make it into the LPL and become one of the strongest teams in the nation.

Who would have thought that Team Skycrown would make such a drastic comeback and win two matches in a row, dragging it to the final match? No one could determine who would win the final match yet as both teams might have tricks up their sleeves.

“The participants now have twenty minutes of break time before the last match begins. In these twenty minutes, can Blood Eagle please go over the details of this match? As it is very hard to obtain an analysis from one of our top four players, I hope everyone can pay full attention. If there are any questions at all, you can ask them on the spot.”

“All right, let’s begin.”

…

In the twenty minutes of Q and A session with Qi Qiao and Zhao Tinghua, there were many questions as there were many who were fans of the Blood Eagle.

While that was going on, both teams were preparing for the next match backstage.

“Captain, let’s use that strategy, it looks like Team Skycrown has gotten stronger.” Wang Lin said.

“It’s not that they’ve gotten better, they’re just finally using their true strength,” Siyong said in a serious tone.

Team Skycrown was not easy to defeat, it was shocking that they could win two matches in a row and make a successful comeback.

“Let’s use the POKE tactic. We’ve never lost using that.”

“That’s right, captain. If we don’t use it now, we won’t be able to use it if we don’t get into the LPL. Let me use Ezreal in the mid lane, I can definitely suppress them!”

Siyong nodded. “Although we are not too familiar with the tactic, it might be enough for us to take down Team Skycrown. Of course, you must promise me that you will be giving your all in the lane.”

“Don’t worry captain, the spot for LPL is definitely ours to take! Team Skycrown will never overcome our strategy!”
