Chapter 94: Demolished Mid Lane

After claiming the Dragon, Fizz became even fatter, easily overpowering Jayce in the mid lane. Each time Fizz managed to kill Jayce, he would circle and dance on top of his opponent’s body, clearly showing off how easy he thought it was.

“This guy is getting out of control,” Huang Yu muttered darkly.

To counter Fizz, it would be best to build up on magic resistance, but if Jayce were to head toward that build, his skills would be rendered useless. For now, he could only use his E and Q skills to farm under his tower. Even if Jarvan came to gank the mid lane, Volibear would surely appear and they would lose the fight, trading one head after another. Fizz and Volibear didn’t seem too concerned about the bottom lane, but they seemed intent on crushing the middle lane.

Twenty minutes into the game, Jayce only had a Last Whisper in his inventory. Although the last tier of Last Whisper had armor piercing, it wouldn’t deal much damage even with his E-Q combo with Jayce’s basic damage being so low to begin with.

Team Scarlet’s bottom lane seemed to have a great advantage for now, but even with that, it wouldn’t be able to make up for their mid lane and jungler’s low gold income.

Huang Yu decided to play it safe and farm with his skills under tower, seeing as Fizz had dominated the lane and he couldn’t do much.

“You think you’re safe under the tower, don’t you?” Team Dawn’s captain—Yang Ying, laughed.

Once his minion wave had reached Team Scarlet’s tower, Yang Ying farmed leisurely, waiting for his opportunity. When Jayce took a step forward to last hit the cannon minion, Fizz grasped the chance and threw out his ulti!

“Feeding time!”

A bright, green fish flew towards Jayce, accurately hitting and circling him as a big dotted circle appeared underneath him, morphing into a pool of water. A big shadow slowly appeared beneath, followed by a gigantic white shark with an open jaw full of razor-sharp teeth which snapped shut around Jayce, as though to snap him right in half!

Seastone Trident! Urchin Strike!

Fizz dashed forward, landing a burst of damage on Jayce which reduced his health drastically. Huang Yu was quick to switch back to Hammer Stance to knock Fizz back, however, Fizz countered with Playful to avoid the strike!

Fizz continued his relentless assault against Jayce, and Jayce could only receive damage without being able to retaliate. Jayce led Fizz under the tower, hoping that the tower shots would be enough to end Fizz. After a few more rounds of attack from Fizz’s Seastone Trident effect which gave him bonus magic damage, he then Ignited Jayce and retreated confidently.

“With the amount of health Jayce has left, Ignite probably wouldn’t be able to finish him off!” The host said into his microphone, watching as Fizz walked away. “Is Fizz letting him go just like that?”

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds…

Jayce’s remaining health dwindled down to zero once it hit the five-second mark, falling to the ground with a pitiful moan. He was killed by the damage over time on-hit effect of Fizz’s Seastone Trident!

“Oh, I forgot that Fizz’s W skill has a bleeding effect. Yang Ying really has a great grasp and calculation on Fizz’s actual damage from the passive!” The host continued, looking at the screen where Jayce’s lifeless body lay.

Killed under his own tower, with no way to retaliate.

Huang Yu kicked his leg out in anger, his face turning a furious shade of red.

***

His screen blacked out suddenly after that, and he turned to look under his table in panic. Only then did he realize that in his anger, he had kicked out his computer’s cable from its socket!

This cyber cafe was newly built; hence the cables were not properly hidden yet. He remembered that the employees had cautioned them about this matter. Huang Yu had not expected himself to be so careless as to forget that fact and made such a mistake in his anger.

The referee was quick to react, announcing a pause in the game as soon as he noticed. The screen paused and the audience let out a disappointed groan.

“We appear to have run into some technical issues.” The host was quick to follow up with an explanation. “It shouldn’t take too long to rectify, we do ask for your patience for a little while.”

To avoid the dwindling of the audiences’ excitement, the host continued. “While we have this little break, why don’t we analyze what has gone on in the match so far.”

“At the top lane, Riven had lane dominance over Singed in the early stage. Now, twenty minutes in, Singed finally started to level out the gold earned. His value in a team fight was probably slightly higher than Riven now, but Riven could peel for her team easily too. They are probably even now.”

“At middle lane, the confrontation between Jayce and Fizz had already started since the beginning of the game. Apart from the first gank by Jarvan at mid which gave them first blood, Volibear and Fizz have been snowballing the lane and gaining the upper hand. Subsequent to that, Fizz’s last tower dive kill has effectively crippled the middle lane.”

“Team Dawn’s captain obviously has a great understanding and in-depth knowledge of Fizz’s overall skills and mechanics. You can see it in the way he utilizes his skill shots to the fullest, overpowering Team Scarlet’s captain at the middle lane.”

The host paused for a moment and then hurried to add. “We have just received some information moments ago, Team Dawn’s captain, Yang Ying, is placed top ten in the country. In simpler terms, his level is comparable to that of some professional players!”

Tenth place in the whole national universities division! The entire audience was in awe after the host made that spectacular announcement. There were about 2,000 universities in the country, and each of the universities had big groups of e-sport enthusiasts. For those playing games the whole day in their dormitories, who would have thought a god-like player would appear from there?

To be ranked tenth among the 2,000 universities, that described how terrifying his abilities were.

“It’s no wonder his Fizz could overpower Jayce.”

“Yeah, he’s already got such a strong performance with that kill under the tower. His skill is really on a whole other level.”

“I’ll say, I was wondering how Team Dawn got so strong. So it’s actually because they managed to recruit a god-like player.”

“Come to think of it, what placement did our Lecheng University get?”

Lecheng, while quite famous, was not yet a 211 university.

“No idea, but it’s definitely not within the top ten.”

At this point, there were a few youths that lowered their heads, face flushed with embarrassment. These were clearly Lecheng University students.

In fact, Xue Haiyang was also a Lecheng University student. After he had been defeated by Fujian University’s third team, the taste of defeat could be described like those popular stories on the internet:

Your girlfriend sent you a text message asking to break up. When you haven’t even had the time to grieve, she suddenly sends you a follow-up message “Sorry, wrong person.”.

Xue Haiyang knew that it was Fujian University’s third team that had brought them down, and he couldn’t help but feel the same kind of feeling as when you read the part “Sorry, wrong person.”
