Chapter 217: An Exhilarating Play!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Shanghai University community area, a huge projector screen hung at the entrance. The area was also now occupied by a lot of people, and you could see Qin Ting on the stage, continuously shouting with the people, “Shanghai, win!”

“There’s picture! There’s display!”

A clear picture appeared on the big screen, and as the screen loaded, you could finally see that both sides were in the banning phase!

On one side was the unified team name, which was the famous Zhejiang University in the e-sports university league—ZJU!

And the other side was also a unified team name from Shanghai University that everyone couldn’t wait to see—SHU!

Finally being able to watch the confrontation between these two teams, the students of Shanghai University started getting excited.

They were representing Shanghai University to play against Zhejiang University, and the previous display was the journey of Shanghai University in e-sports. There were a lot of LOL enthusiasts that were already paying attention, and in fact, it was a hot discussion topic.

Shanghai University had already matched up against Zhejiang University in the pre-quarter finals round, and the two teams that had made it into the quarterfinals were inferior to them. In short, if they could make it past this round by beating Zhejiang, getting into the semifinals would be no problem!

Most of the computer geeks who kept track of the e-sports industry would already know this, but for those who didn’t, Qin Ting had already explained it. The announcement through the university radio room was still ongoing in a repetitive loop.

For a moment, it felt like the whole community of e-sports fans in the university was fired up. Even those who didn’t usually pay attention to it had come together to watch after seeing the stage that had been built.

They didn’t really understand the rules of the game, nor how the game was supposed to be played. However, they did know that if Shanghai University could make it to the semifinals, it was something the whole university could be proud of!

Every student was the same, when you talked about your alma mater, you would have countless complaints or swearing about it. But when it came to the dignity and honor of your alma mater, they would be the most anxious and heated!

“Beat Zhejiang! Beat Zhejiang!”

“Beat Zhejiang! Beat Zhejiang!”

Emotions were running high, and Qin Ting had not expected the E-Sports Club to be capable of producing such a sensation in the university!

“Yang Ying, Xiao Jia, Luocheng, Jinbei, Wang Jun, you guys have to make it, we’re all cheering for you!” Qin Ting prayed as he watched the rising support from the people gathered in the area.

Entering the ban phase.

The bans by ZJU were more simple, they had watched the replays of SHU and other universities and hadn’t found any champions that were special or outstanding to the point that it would be a threat.

The one-sided match in the first round also confirmed this, so they didn’t have any specific champion they needed to ban. After removing the few champions that were disgustingly overpowering, ZJU immediately chose Shen for the top lane and a Vi Jungle.

The Eye Of Twilight—Shen and The Piltover Enforcer—Vi was a classic combination. Using Vi’s ulti to directly aim for the enemies’ back line and with Shen’s ulti protecting her as well as going in with her, they could easily dispose of the ADC or Mid.

The combination was practically unstoppable, and for ZJU to use this tactic, they were planning on going all in and fast to end the match.

SHU didn’t hesitate long either, and they were quick to lock in the champions they had chosen. Jax for Top, Elise for Jungle, Annie for Mid and Graves for ADC.

And everyone had thought that the last pick would be Thresh for support, or maybe Zyra, Lulu or Sona. Luocheng, however, went for The Rune Mage—Ryze.

“This guy must be trolling, if he locks in that champion then I’ll eat my shoes,” Shaoying said.

As soon as he had said that, Luocheng pushed the lock in button!

The four members of ZJU looked toward Shaoying, as though expecting him to start eating his shoes. Shaoying’s eye twitched in annoyance, wanting deeply to spew out profanities.

“This idiot is really using Ryze as a Support!” Qiming said.

In the last match, Qiming had already trashed Luocheng soundly and he was feeling elated. Every day, he had heard Qianqian talking about how good Luocheng was, in the end, he was just a useless mongrel!

“Annie is the support, it’s the new meta right now. It’s quite strong.” Feilong said.

Just as he predicted, in the last thirty seconds, Ryze and Annie swapped!

Annie was the Support!

This meta was already popular nationally, pairing up with a high damage output ADC, the combination was particularly good against champions like Vayne who had a shorter range!

Luocheng was boldly using a non-mainstream champion like Annie to support, and it completely intrigued the crowd.

“This meta usually ganks the middle lane a lot, be careful.” Feilong said to Shaoying, who was using Orianna at the mid lane.

Shaoying nodded, knowing that Feilong was talking based on his experiences. “Don’t worry, even if it’s two of them, they may not be able to stop me.”

Entering the game, SHU and ZJU students burst out cheering at the same time, watching as both sides bought their starter items and rushed out from the fountain area.

The host also directed the screen to Luocheng, who was on Annie.

Luocheng didn’t rush after his teammates to leave the fountain area, instead, he accumulated two stacks of his passive before moving.

The first skill he added was W—Incinerate!

Each time Annie used a skill, she would accumulate one stack of her passive. After four stacks, the next spell she casts would have a 1.75 second stun effect.

Therefore, using a skill like W which could be released without a specific target was a good strategy. When it was released, it would produce a wide area stun effect, and in the early game or later game teamfights, this could produce unexpected results!

After accumulating enough stacks, Luocheng walked in front of the entire team.

They had Jax, Elise, Graves, Ryze, and Annie, who had CC skills. With this lineup, there wasn’t any reason not to start an early teamfight at level one. As long as they met in the jungle, it was almost guaranteed that they could wipe them out.

“Where would they be?” Xiao Jia said.

The success of the teamfight at level one would be dependent on the position of their opponents. Luocheng was on the red side, and he led the team toward the Dragon Pit. Although they didn’t see the reason why they would be there, they chose to believe in Luocheng and followed him.

“Do you dare to make a bet?” Luocheng asked.

“What bet?” Yang Ying asked, confused.

“I bet that they will start like normal at the red buff. I saw them planting a ward at the entrance of the Wraiths camp just now, and there are definitely people in the tribush at the bottom lane. Since the two places for us to invade the camp have been sealed off, we can only Flash through the Dragon Pit if we want to catch them. There are definitely no wards here.” Luocheng said.

“Flash through here? All five of us?” Yang Ying said, hesitation clear in his voice.

“If they’re not at the red buff, then wouldn’t our Flash go to waste? Why not send one person in to check first?” Xiao Jia asked.

“No, if they see one person coming, they will scatter. That’s why I said, make a bet, it’s all or nothing. If it’s on point, then we’ll be able to take down their Jungler, Support, ADC, or at least another two, including their red buff. If we lose the bet, all of us won’t have Flash for the first five minutes. Good news is, they probably won’t know this fact.”

“This…is very risky. Even if we succeed, the top laner will be losing out on experience.”

“Nope, even if we don’t catch any of them, Ryze has Teleport. Whether we kill anyone or not, he can go straight back to the top lane to fight Shen. Jax is the same, he can recall back to base and go to the bottom lane, by the time he reaches, it should be just in time with the minion wave. Graves and I will head to the middle lane, and we’ll burst down Orianna.” Luocheng explained.

***

Yang Ying was stunned to hear this tactic for invading, Flashing up from the Dragon Pit and betting that their opponents would be at the red buff…

This crazy dude actually dared to f*cking think of this kind of strategy!

This was a f*cking exhilarating play!
