Chapter 310: One Win For Team Skycrown!

“Team Skycrown, you’re really something. You managed to think up this kind of tactic to go against Team Revelation… I can only say that you’re the sh*t!” Not even Miracle couldn’t find anything to criticize them with right now.

When faced with a player who could 1v2 at the bottom lane against Bai Feng’s strongest ADC, what else can you spit on?

Facing this type of astonishing fast push, nothing could stop them. Demolishing tactics, AD Master Yi backdoor, AP Xin Zhao tanking tower were all useless against them.

Forget about the poke tactic, the 4-1 push tactic, and Teleport Ganking… Team Skycrown’s tactic was the most unique thing anyone had ever seen. It truly represented the development of the people of the Republic of China!

That’s right, this tactic was completely unimaginable!

If the audience could go back to when they cast their votes, they definitely wouldn’t have unhesitatingly voted for Team Revelation.

Give me a land, and I can build you a nation.

Give me a city, and I can rule over Diaoyu Island.

Give me five champions, and I can show you the peak of the LOL world!

***

Team Revelation was not afraid of losing, it was normal to lose a couple of games. However, being ultimately crushed with this kind of tactic and intelligence, they really didn’t know where to put their faces!

When they first started the game, the members of Team Revelation were all confident and they even gave a pre-match interview.

Now their words had come back to bite them. Can you believe that a new rising team in the LPL used five cheap champions to thoroughly thrash them?

When their inhibitor turret was taken down, and when the inhibitor was taken, Team Revelation had no will to resist anymore.

At this point, they even had trouble dealing with the super minions. They didn’t even want to step out of base, it felt like they weren’t playing LOL anymore. It was basically a Warcraft RPG where you defend Athena on hell mode!

League of Legends was indeed a pushing turret game, but everyone knows that kills and team fights were the main point. If you don’t kill or engage in team fights, how would you get the items needed to push the turret?

The members of Team Revelation had no words to describe the bitter taste left in their mouths upon seeing the game change direction under Team Skycrown’s disgusting tactics.

Hao Yue’s roaming gank had no way to be used here, and his abilities were not used to gain the upper hand in getting buffs, Dragons, or Barons, but instead used to fight against the super minions.

How could Bai Feng be expected to show off his gorgeous initiates and positioning while trying to beat back the super minions?

None of them could display any of their abilities at all!

Bai Feng is said to be the most gentle and calm player, but as he spent the whole game defending turrets and beating back super minions, even his patience was reaching its limits!

***

“Oh, Bai Feng is angry! He’s definitely going after Caitlyn’s arse now! And can you blame him? You basically turned LOL into a turret defense game!” said Miracle, starting to poke fun at the teams again.

Even though it was subtle, the subject of laughter this time was actually Bai Feng.

Bai Feng initiated!

Yu Luocheng’s Caitlyn was leading the charge alone at the bottom lane, and the two ADCs faced off against each other.

By Flashing in immediately, Bai Feng was obviously intending to break this deadlock tactic. He wanted to solo against Yu Luocheng!

Graves’ damage at late game was very high, after using Quickdraw and landing a crit, coupled together with his other skills, he definitely had a chance of taking Caitlyn’s head!

Yu Luocheng’s reaction was also not slow and he retaliated against him, giving as good as he got.

Buckshot!

Three bullets in the form of a cone shot out, and Bai Feng who was testing his limits tried to aim at least two bullets in Yu Luocheng’s direction.

Yu Luocheng’s hand speed was amazing, slamming his finger down onto the E button the second the bullets launched from Graves’ gun, executing a beautiful dodge with his 90 Caliber Net!

The bullet that hit Yu Luocheng’s Caitlyn didn’t cause much damage, but his EQ follow up on Bai Feng definitely landed a heavy blow.

Bai Feng remained calm. Seeing Yu Luocheng’s EQ and retreat, he immediately aimed his ulti on her retreating figure!

The explosive shell shot out in a straight line, and even though Caitlyn’s EQ allowed her to move a great distance backwards, there was still a limit to how much she could retreat. Aiming the shell in this direction, the hit rate was definitely one hundred percent.

Boom!

As the explosive shell burst, Piltover Peacemaker also burst out from Caitlyn’s rifle. The moment the two skills crossed over each other, Yu Luocheng’s Caitlyn disappeared from her original position, appearing to the side of Graves while still maintaining a distance of 600 yards!

Miracle couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at the move he just witnessed.

“Beautiful! Caitlyn used Flash to cancel the animation of her Piltover Peacemaker and avoided Graves’ ulti at the same time!”

After Caitlyn releases Q, she has a small pause. If you pressed Flash the moment the skill is released, you could completely cancel out that pause. The same was true of her QR combo, you needed to be quick and fluent in your controls.

With the distance of 600 yards, Graves would still be within Caitlyn’s range, but she wouldn’t be in his!

After exhausting all his skills and having each one be evaded, Bai Feng realized that he wouldn’t be able to win this fight. Activating his Barrier, he started to retreat.

But it was meaningless to run from Caitlyn when he had so little life left. Without hesitation, Yu Luocheng immediately pressed R.

Ace in the Hole!

Boom!

The homing projectile shot out and landed a perfect headshot, taking away the last bit of health Graves had.

“Bai Feng has been solo killed!”

A deafening roar resounded through the arena!

Bai Feng was aiming to kill Caitlyn in his anger, trying to break the deadlock. In the end, it was him that fell to Caitlyn’s beautiful maneuver!

“His Flash forward to confront Caitlyn was not a very wise move, it’s obvious that Caitlyn’s items are far superior to his. He might have stood a chance if all his skills had landed, but unfortunately for him, Team Skycrown’s coach is not just anybody. It isn’t that easy to kill him.” Qi Qiao elaborated on the scene that had played out.

For her who had witnessed Yu Luocheng solo against Blood Eagle in person, her eyes involuntarily shifted towards Yu Luocheng.

The facts were plain to see. If Bai Feng were to be this aggressive against any other professional player, he might have been able to use his set of skills to take their heads.

Even if he didn’t kill them, he would have at least left them with only the smallest bit of health.

However, Yu Luocheng wasn’t like that at all. With two repositioning skills in his kit, he used the right judgement to avoid the damage from Graves. Then, taking advantage of his longer range and better equipment, he turned the tables and killed Bai Feng instead!

Once their ADC died, Team Revelation also lost their third inhibitor turret. With all inhibitor turrets down, they could only watch as their base was demolished by the super minions.

“Congratulations to Team Skycrown for obtaining the first win in this round! Presumably, this result was contrary to everyone’s expectations!” announced Qi Qiao, a full blown smile on her face.

Miracle, who had assumed Team Revelation would waste Team Skycrown had nothing much to say now. He had initially prepared an onslaught of ammunition to use against Team Skycrown and was just waiting for the moment Team Revelation took them down. He was waiting for the moment he could entice laughter from the crowd with his comments, but this result was not something he had anticipated.

If you think about it, no one would have expected this outcome at all! Who would have thought that Team Revelation would be beaten by an up-and-coming new team?

“I think Team Revelation needs to sort out how they are going to counter Team Skycrown’s latest tactic,” said Miracle.

“By the way, Team Skycrown has indeed broken the curse,” said Qi Qiao after some thought.

“Indeed they have,” said Miracle, smiling awkwardly as he recalled his earlier jibes before the match started.

If he knew that this was going to happen, he wouldn’t have excessively poked fun at Team Skycrown. At this rate, the backlash was going to start physically hurting!

“Right right, ladies and gentlemen, Team Skycrown has also shown us the truth: LOL is a turret pushing game.”

***

At the end of the first match, discussions were going on everywhere. Before the outcome was known, who would have thought that Team Skycrown would win?

Before the match, nobody wanted to vote on the outcome. Instead, everyone was more interested in voting on whether or not the bottom lane would be wrecked. Some even went so far as to vote on how long Team Skycrown would last at the bottom lane.

It wasn’t that Team Revelation had disappointed them, but it was instead Team Skycrown’s tactic that was disgusting.

“Miracle, so which team do you think will win this time?” asked Qi Qiao excitedly, her voice high.

“An unexpected tactic won for now, but this is a best out of five game. At most, they’ll only be able to use this tactic once. From the second match onwards, Team Revelation will have a better defense against it. As long as they can maintain their turret, Team Revelation still holds the advantage of their team fighting capabilities, which will help them obtain victory. I still think that Team Revelation will be victorious,” said Miracle, explaining his theory.

Miracle was not blindly worshipping Team Revelation, their strength was plain for everyone to see. If you take away the unexpected tactic that Team Skycrown had used to beat them, Team Revelation’s strength was still way higher than Team Skycrown’s. In this best three out of five game, how would Team Skycrown be able to overthrow this clear advantage that Team Revelation had?

“Careful not to burn yourself again,” said Qi Qiao, laughing.

“Impossible, I believe in Bai Feng. That solo kill earlier was unavoidable. The outcome would have still been a loss for them even if he hadn’t tried to break the deadlock. He was gambling on the chance of making a comeback. If he didn’t take the chance, it would have been a complete loss.”

“Alright, then let’s see what else Team Skycrown will entertain us with. To be honest, I’m getting more and more interested in them,” said Qi Qiao.

Team Skycrown’s shocking game had absolutely drawn in everyone watching. The fact that they were able to win one game against Team Revelation was already amazing.

“Alright, next round!”

The members of Team Skycrown celebrated backstage, fist bumping each other with smiles on their faces!

This tactic was something they had used against Fudan University and the effect was obvious. However, there was a big difference in skill between Fudan University and Team Revelation.

When facing Fudan University, Team Skycrown had taken nineteen minutes to GG them. It had taken thirty minutes to do the same to Team Revelation. But no matter what, the fact that their tactic had managed to overthrow Team Revelation had amazed Team Skycrown, giving them a burst of exhilaration.

“You guys were awesome! Haha, you didn’t see the faces of the people backstage, I swear their eyes were going to pop out!” Li Meiqi was roaring with laughter.

Yu Luocheng coughed into his hand. “Calm down!”

“What calm down? Don’t you know why we’re happy? Before the match started, they were betting on how long you would last at the bottom lane. In the end, that b*tchy photographer lost a thousand yuan! I wanted to roll on the floor and laugh!” Li Meiqi laughed as she pointed out the man standing in a corner.

Everyone looked at where she pointed, surprised to find that dirty photographer Liang Gui was also backstage.
