“Alright, it seems that all members of Team Skycrown are present. I believe that this will be a very amazing match, because as far as I know, the fifth player is the player who led the team against Team Revelation and obtained the score of three to zero.
“He is the coach of Team Skycrown, and is also the player who many on the Internet know to have stood his own against ADC Bai Feng, so exciting!” exclaimed Bao Jun.
Ai Ke’s helper had sent over a document a while ago, filled with information on Team Skycrown’s newest player who was now onstage.
Normally, player information wasn’t very detailed and only consisted of a few lines. Bao Jun was surprised that this player had several long paragraphs of information to his name.
A commentator needed to keep things simple, so Bao Jun would need to summarize the content in his hands. But once he read through the list, he found that it was almost impossible to omit anything. Every single sentence was sure to capture the audience’s attention!

Yang Ying who was in the middle of his internship at a Lecheng company, was sitting at a desk, starting excitedly at the computer screen in front of him.
“It’s really Luocheng! He’s back in the game again!”
Knowing about Yu Luocheng’s family situation, Yang Ying thought that it would be difficult for him to play in a competition ever again. He didn’t expect him to suddenly appear during the final match against Team Sky.
Just seeing him make an appearance was enough to inexplicably excite anyone!
“Hello, Xiao Jia, what are you doing?”
“Working.”
“Luocheng is onstage!”
“Seriously?!
“Why would I lie to you? Hurry up and take leave, find a place to watch!”
“What f*cking leave? This is my dad’s company, who would dare to complain about me…”
Yeah fine, you rich second generation kid.

The entire Zhejiang University e-sports room was shrouded in darkness, but there were images being displayed on the projector screen.
The members of the university’s starter team—Cheng Feilong, Ke Shaoying, Jian Qiming and the others—were all tensely concentrating on the screen with a hundred percent focus, without moving even an inch. The members of Team Revelation—Bai Feng, Qing Ye, Hao Yue and the rest—were watching with them too.
The Zhejiang University team had always been linked to Team Revelation. In their hearts, Team Revelation was like a godlike existence to them. But when Yu Luocheng, a mere university student, had appeared in the LPL and beat their gods down just like that, their belief was shattered in an instant.
When Yu Luocheng appeared on screen, the entire e-sports club was shocked, especially Bai Feng, Qing Ye, Hao Yue, and the rest of Team Revelation. Their eyes flashed with surprise, but also with shame.
It was him!
He appeared once again!
You couldn’t possibly imagine how they felt. A top four team who had been in the standings for a long time, being beaten three to zero by a newly formed team.
The humiliation, the anger, the impossibility of it all!
And now, that same player who dealt them such a huge blow, had once again appeared in the LPL, causing the atmosphere in the room to immediately change.
“That sh*thead!”
Hao Yue unconsciously tightly clenched his fist, shouting, “I will definitely beat him!”
Bai Feng’s expression remained calm, but under the surface, he was simmering with emotion.
Because this was one of the players that Bai Feng definitely wanted to compete against again!
“F-Hawk, player name Fighting Hawk, Team Skycrown’s coach. I think we have already seen his unparalleled strength in the match against Team Revelation.”
At Bao Jun’s announcement, the faces of Team Revelation and the Zhejiang University team hardened…
***
“Here and now, there’s another piece of news that I want to share with everyone!”
At the arena, Bao Jun’s face was full of excitement, ready to read out the information from this player’s file.
He threw out a question to the audience, “Do you all remember that sensational video of Blood Eagle going solo against a Lee Sin?”
The video of Blood Eagle soloing a Lee Sin?
How could anyone not know about it? That video probably had more than five million views by now, and the wave it caused at the time was amazingly horrifying.
There had been numerous speculations about the mysterious player who was able to draw with Blood Eagle, and even now, forums were still abuzz with discussions about it.
“That’s right, the player who went solo against Blood Eagle back then is now right in front of you, his ID is F-Hawk!” exclaimed Bao Jun, his eyes shining.
The moment those words left his lips, it caused a commotion in the arena. The uproar continued without any signs of stopping, and those who were watching the live broadcast from home were also wide-eyed in disbelief.
What position does this coach from Team Skycrown actually play?!
He could go solo against the strongest Jungler, Blood Eagle, and also stand his own against a strong ADC like Bai Feng—even if you scoured the entire country, you wouldn’t be able to find anyone crazier than him!
At this time, the entire crowd was suddenly captivated by this mysterious player. Having successfully hyped up the crowd, Bao Jun now took the chance to bring their focus back to the game at hand.
“There’s some other news too, but I’ll let you all know about that in due time. Now, let’s turn our attention to the big screen, both teams have entered into the start.”
As the game entered into the selection screen, the bans from Team Skycrown looked very simple, no one could figure out the meaning or purpose behind them.
On the other hand, Team Sky’s bans clearly revealed their intentions, as well as the fact that they were involuntarily filled with fear and terror.
First ban: Graves!
Second ban: Lee Sin!
Third ban: Ashe!
All three bans were champions that Yu Luocheng had not only used before, but displayed some truly spectacular games with!
In a professional competition, players would normally ban champions that their opponents were good at, champions that were strong in a lineup, and champions that would pose a threat to their own lineup. They would also consider the champion’s utilities…
Team Sky banning the three strongest champions from Yu Luocheng’s public plays clearly showed how unsettled they were by him!
After all, Yu Luocheng used to be part of Sky Club. Besides the younger members like Birch and Guan Langjie, Vulcan, Xie Yi, and Jupiter all knew the name Fighting Hawk.
You could say that when Yu Luocheng was already as strong as a dragon, these people had just been starting to learn how to fly. So, the three of them were well aware of how strong Fighting Hawk was.
Xie Yi didn’t think that it was ridiculous to ban all three of his champions. He knew that if Fighting Hawk was allowed to pick any of his good champions, the match that followed would be their nightmare come to life!
“Let’s see their picks then. The first one Team Skycrown chose is Ezreal. If I’m not mistaken, this Ezreal will be given to Sky Swan to use, his Mid Ezreal is really amazing.”
During the pick phase, both sides quickly selected their champions without much hesitation. For Team Skycrown, this match was no longer a simple matter of victory or defeat!
“Team Skycrown’s lineup is a little unique. It’s obviously another duo ADC lineup, as Mid Ezreal has popped up once again. Sadly, Fighting Hawk’s Graves which was on par with Bai Feng’s has been banned. It’s hard to find a combination that is as suitable as Graves and Ezreal.
“What’s more surprising is that, top lane Lone Gull didn’t pick Jax, his best champion. Instead, he picked a champion that’s rarely seen in competitions—Shepherd of Souls, Yorick!”
Yorick!
Team Skycrown’s choice of champions was confusing everyone. Was it possible that they were going for a resurrection team play, and that their Support would be Zilean?
“Oh my god, Team Skycrown has really picked The Chronokeeper, Zilean as their Support!”
Zilean!
Yorick and Zilean—this was the most classic resurrection lineup in the game!
You would sometimes come across players who used this combination when playing ranked or normal games. But this was the LPL. A lineup like this one with such little AOE damage and CC would be easily defeated!
“What is Team Skycrown up to? With Zilean’s revival ulti and Yorick’s corpse reanimating skill, are they trying to summon someone’s soul?” said Bao Jun, surprise and confusion clear in his voice.
The crowd at the venue was once again in an uproar. Team Skycrown always had unexpectedly amazing lineups, but can this resurrection lineup really be used in a top professional league like the LPL?
With a double resurrection, then their next choice of champion must be their key, because this intention of resurrection means that the core of their team has to be someone who cannot die.
And this immortal core is…
Ping!
With a loud sound, Yu Luocheng on the fourth floor has finally picked his champion.
Everyone knew that whichever champion Yu Luocheng chose would be the key of their entire lineup. So, who did he choose? Who required such a grand resurrection system?
Bao Jun suddenly burst out, “Vayne!”
The Night Hunter—Vayne!
This champion was loved by countless ADC players within the country, but there were only a handful of players who could use her well.
“If I remember correctly, the top Vayne player in the country is from Team Skycrown as well. I’m sure everyone watching the LPL has seen him play before.
Fighting Hawk is currently sitting in for Xiao Bei, and he chose Xiao Bei’s best champion, The Night Hunter, Vayne. Is there perhaps some meaning behind it?” said Bao Jun.
The words that Bao Jun had said without thinking—whose soul were they trying to summon?
No matter which champions they chose, nothing could lighten their grief and sorrow, and nothing could convey the feelings they had for Xiao Bei…
Except Vayne!
Da Luo didn’t choose Jax because he understood that the main protagonist of this match was not him. It was their captain—Fighting Hawk—who had returned to e-sports with anger in his heart!
***
The moment Vayne was locked in, Yu Luocheng’s cold eyes flashed with emotion. When he walked onto the stage, he had already known which champion he was going to choose.
In Yu Luocheng’s eyes, Team Sky’s bans were ridiculous and stupid!
***
Xiao Bei, let me use your favourite Vayne to summon your spirit, and together, we shall fill the Summoner’s Rift with the blood of all those who have sinned against you!
