“With that said, coach, Fighting Hawk’s champion decision is also a bit of a headache. When we’re in the Banning phase, should we pressure him for a bit? We don’t need to ban Vayne because he would not be playing the ADC, but I think that his habit of picking a different champion every time really is annoying.” Mephistopheles said.

Mephistopheles could be counted as the top Support in the country. He also thought that the champion pool that he could play was very wide, the champion pool being the number of champions that you could use properly in a competition.

A professional player normally had his best champion, but most of the competitors could only master up to three champions at once. It was not as though they could not use any other characters, but it would be hard for them to use other unfamiliar champions at the competition’s level. That was why even though they could only play their three best champions, it was not something to laugh at, because for a professional player, they only needed to know how to play three champions to be at world-level.

Mephistopheles definitely had the largest champion pool that he could use. If it were other professional players, after banning your favorite champion and then picking your second favorite, leaving you with your reserve, it would make you uncomfortable. It was the complete opposite for Mephistopheles as he knew how to play many champions, thus, it would not work no matter how hard you tried to pressure him.

This was Mephistopheles’ pride. Even so, after comparing himself to that genius, Luocheng, he did not have any face to say that he had a wide range of champions to use. D*mn, which Support in the LPL could use a different Support every single match? Some players even played a single champion for the entire competition.

It was not even comparable. In terms of the amount of choices in picking Support champions, Mephistopheles felt that he could not win against him. The coach Huang Kang had done the most research not on Team Sky, their nemesis, but on Luocheng’s team, Team Skycrown.

Gathering his thoughts, he said, “Even if we are unable to anticipate his next champion, he would definitely choose a Support that has the upper hand in the early-game and also possesses great crowd control ability. That is an offensive-type Support. Their tactics won’t differ too much so we don’t need to pay too much attention to that.”

Team Daemons was sure that Luocheng was the core of Team Skycrown, and also, it was him who was controlling the flow of the game the entire time. If they pressured him enough, winning would not be such an impossible feat anymore.

“Team Skycrown has two playstyles at the start of the game. The first one is the switching lanes tactic, they definitely have put a lot of research into this tactic. The trick is to annihilate the enemy’s original plan and formation. Next, interrupting the enemy Jungler’s ganks. After that, using the fact that the enemy pays no heed to the Support and ganks. Once they get the outcome that they want, they would push the towers, getting the advantage of team gold and then controlling the jungle. Moving on from there, they will control the Dragon, making the snowball bigger. Compared to last year, they have almost perfected it and are using one of the best methods to get vision and kill their enemies. Finally, they would drag out their advantage and not let the opponent have a chance at a comeback.”

“The second tactic is playing normally in the lanes. After that, when a gank appears, they will go to the area immediately to provide assistance. This is also related to why I said that there would be ten seconds until they get help. In the early-game where everyone does not have many items, the power of a Support should not be taken lightly. Sometimes, they would gank better than Junglers due to them having a lot of controlling abilities. This type of playstyle would usually drag on until the mid-game teamfight. If we let their Support do as he wants, they would take the advantage by having more people push the tower and control the jungle, and that is exactly what they want.”

“They will definitely use these two tactics as their openers. If they don’t get the upper hand in the early-game, during the mid-game, they will definitely use the four-and-one pushing method or the one-three-one split push method to drag out the game to find a chance.”

“If that were to happen, you have to focus on controlling the minion wave well and predict when to start a teamfight that would end in our favor. After clearing the wave, immediately retreat and group up. If there is a chance, immediately kill the minions and get back, do not stay too long for them to get the chance to pick you off.”

“How about the late-game?” Charon asked.Read more chapter at vipnovel

Huang Kang had already analyzed Team Skycrown’s early and mid-game strategy, but once the late game was brought up, he could only shake his head and say, “Up until now, there still haven’t been any teams that could drag out the game till that stage. With no information, we can only make vague speculations. The Fighting Hawk and Lone Gull would probably try to find a chance to start a teamfight, I recommend that you should drag out the game into the late stages if you do not have the confidence to win. Ultimately, the late-game is all about team composition as well as cooperation. Their composition will probably be conventional, but if we’re talking about team cooperation, you should have the confidence to beat them.”

The whole team nodded, making sure to remember what the coach had said.

You could tell that as the country’s best team, even if they were facing the newly-formed Team Skycrown, Team Daemons was going to give it their all!

“Hades, I need you to listen up. If you get the chance, go for it, but you don’t necessarily need to get the kill. If you have the upper hand in CS, that would be great too.” Huang Kang reminded him.

Team Skycrown had an unpredictable and unfathomable Fighting Hawk, but Team Daemons had a God-level player, and it was Hades.

Hades was practically the best Mid in the whole country, and anyone could tell at a glance that Team Skycrown’s Mid, Wu Sen, would definitely be pushed back.

Huang Kang was hoping for a dragged-out game because he believed that in the late-game, the Mid would always be more important than a Support!

“Coach, you can count on me.” Hades nodded his head.

Hades has waited for a long time for this day to come. Finally he could exchange blows with Luocheng!

If Hades was hiding any skills that he had up his sleeve to prevent anyone from countering it in the late stages of the competition, he would definitely go all out in the next game!

***

As coach Huang Kang was giving them some extra pointers, Team Skycrown was also making a last-minute analysis. For this, Luocheng purposely had Aijing come with him.

For all professional players in the LPL, Team Daemons was still somewhat of a Boss that was standing tall over them. Even if they brought out the whole army of the country’s analyzers, it would still not be enough.

Other than Team Sky which had been able to bring out crazy amounts of power once in a blue moon to win them in a few matches, there were no other teams that could achieve this impossible feat.

This absurd Boss in the LOL world would make you regret meeting them if your level, gear, and mindset were not good enough. There was practically no one who could shake Team Daemons from their seats.

“To be frank, it will be really hard for you to go against Team Daemons. After playing against them a lot, we ourselves have never won before. The scariest part about them is that all of their players have absurd skills. All of these players average at around twenty-one to twenty-two points, and with that being said, most of the teams who went against them would lose in all aspects and all the lanes. It’s a very common occurrence.” Aijing said.

Losing in all aspects also meant losing the jungle to them. Upon hearing this, Jian Feng felt cold sweat drip down his face, they were not normal at all!

“Furthermore, is there anything else I need to say about the big Boss, Hades?” Aijing scanned the expressions of the members of Team Skycrown.

The five players of Team Skycrown all nodded in unison.

Hades was really too formidable. Number One’s strength was already hard for Wu Sen to handle, it had been Luocheng’s Kassadin that had made it easier on him. Hades’ strength would probably be two marks higher than Number One, this guy was really one of the big bosses in LOL and he was standing tall and firm above everyone else!

Hades’ knowledge toward laning, the steadfastness of last hitting, speedy assistance, the strength of his executions as well as his team fighting were all top notch! Even if he was being suppressed mindlessly, he would still be able to get the upper hand in the mid to late-game stages of the game. There are many good mid laners who have both their strengths and weaknesses. For example, Ancient Dust. He had excellent solo abilities and had many different stylish solo-kills, but he was mediocre in teamfights. Number One too had great solo skills and fantastic cooperation with his team, but even so, he was bad at pressuring his opponents. You could tell from when Luocheng had gone to the mid lane to gank the last time he had played against them. Team Sky’s Xie Yi had a great game sense and expert calculations but he was average when it came to laning capabilities.

This was not the case for Hades. He practically had all of the LPL player’s strength in him alone. It was extremely hard to find a weak point in Hades, not to mention, coupled with his years of experience as a professional player, his mental status was steady and not impulsive. He was also good at reading his opponents.

As a player in Team Daemons, he already had immense strength. Basically, they could face any team and it would still be a breeze for them. After all, they had a king in LOL that could sit atop the mountain and look over everyone else.

“Back to the point, should we have two people in the mid lane to pressure Hades?” Wu Sen asked.

Aijing immediately shook her head, “I wouldn’t recommend trying to pressure him that way. If you tried to pressure him, you would only delay the growth of the Jungler because he would not be scared if your ADC and Support take the mid lane. After you’ve tried to pressure him for the whole time, you will only find that he would be not far behind in CS and would also be two levels above you.”

“That is true, Hades is too strong at pressuring his enemies. If our lane is taken by the enemy team’s two players, we would lose a lot, we need to play it cool.” Luocheng replied.

As soon as those words came out of Luocheng, everyone else from Team Skycrown focused their attention on him.

Luocheng, the Luocheng who usually only used the word “attack” had actually said “We need to play it cool”? This was not what they were expecting!

“What are you looking at? When we’re playing against Team Daemons, you guys had better play it cool!” Luocheng became impatient.

Luocheng was usually very carefree when playing in competitions, it was rare for them to see him being so serious.

Even so, they were going to go up against Team Daemons, no one in their right mind would not be agitated or nervous. As it is, it was the best way to prove themselves after last year’s big incident!
