Chapter 143: This is to Fight
The atmosphere had taken a drastic turn, and James and Bond blushed in embarrassment. Their earlier confidence had completely evaporated.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang just in the nick of time and slightly soothed the mood.
A young man sporting a trendy hairstyle walked in from outside the door with a bag of fruits.
He looked around taking note of the crowd inside the room. He immediately put on a warm smile. “You all are from Zhejiang University, right?”
Everyone turned their gaze toward the young man. The few pretty ladies were in awe, almost as if a popular artist had just appeared in front of their starstruck eyes.
As for the gents, they couldn’t hold in their excitement and admiration either.
‘It’s Bai Feng!’
Students that were enthusiastic about e-sports must have heard of him before, but they never would have expected to meet him, the star ADC of Team Revelation, in person at this training base.
He was the centre of Team Revelation, also known as the most handsome and elite ADC in the country!
Bai Feng was a natural eye-catcher. Both his appearance and attire spoke volumes about his stardom.
After Team Revelation had attained victory in numerous large competitions, Bai Feng had risen to stardom with his outstanding ADC performance and handsome outlook, especially among the female fans!
The youth team usually served as the reserve team in a professional game club. The main team and reserve team often trained with each other, however, the prowess and status of the two teams differed greatly. This was because the main team was always given the media coverage and had the most opportunity to participate in prestigious tournaments.
Bai Feng’s charm was unparalleled, and the students who surrounded the computer earlier instantly encircled Bai Feng. They were all eager and excited to see him, including the vice president, Ke Shaoying.
“James and Bond are demonstrating the bottom lane playstyle, aren’t they?” Bai Feng kept his friendly smile and pointed toward the computer screens.
“Hi, Bai Feng. You’ve come at the right time. It seems we have bumped into some professional players. Can you recognize whose subsidiary account this is?” James asked hastily.
It was common to be thrashed by certain professional player’s second account in a ranked game. More so, some professional bottom lane tag-teams had also experienced total defeat in the hands of pub players before.
Thus, Bai Feng did not mind too much. He coolly walked closer to the computers and said, “You two proceed, I will do the narration.”
Bai Feng had been invited by E-Sports Storm as a guest analyst numerous times in the past for his presence always boosted the program’s viewership. The students from Zhejiang University had only witnessed Bai Feng’s commentary through the live stream previously. It was incredibly lucky for them to be able to listen to his voice at such a close distance. The few female students that were obsessed with Bai Feng couldn’t help but drool over his charm.
“Caitlyn has two headcounts in kills and is leading by twenty CS. It’s not looking good,” Bai Feng scanned their stats and said calmly.
Not looking good was an understatement. The bottom lane was akin to a devastating defeat.
Caitlyn immediately bought Berserker’s Greaves and a B.F. Sword after she had returned to the Fountain. She was currently pushing aggressively against Nami and Draven at the bottom lane.
Draven could only rely on Health Potions to recover and CS inconsistently. After he had used up the potions, Draven had no other choice but to Recall as Nami’s heal was unable to recover his lost HP in time.
***
“Your E-skill is on cooldown, you should retreat now. Sigh, it’s too late.” Bai Feng shook his head in disappointment as he looked at Nami and Draven’s positions.
True to his prediction, Thresh intruded forcefully from the side and ran straight up to block off Nami and Draven’s escape route.
The scythe in his hand swung out and Death Sentence was unleashed straight toward Draven!
“What a tricky angle!” Bai Feng exclaimed.
When a hook comes from the flank, an experienced player would usually take a step backward to evade the incoming hook.
However, more experienced Thresh or Blitzcrank’s could often find an angle so artful that no matter how the enemy moved, they would still fall within the hook’s range.
The timing and angle of this Thresh’s hook was impeccable. Bai Feng could easily tell that the opponent player must be an experienced veteran.
Bai Feng then looked at Nami and Draven’s positions again. He knew they would be unable to escape this assault.
Sure enough, Draven, who had used up his Flash, was hooked yet again. He was forcefully dragged back a few steps.
With Draven under control, Shallow Dream’s Caitlyn followed up swiftly and she was just as skillful. With a juke, Caitlyn evaded Nami’s CC spell with ease.
Bond’s Nami did not panic, however. Knowing that Thresh was going to rush in through the chain, he switched his target to the SP after he had failed to contain Caitlyn.
Yah!!!
The Tidecaller Staff on Nami’s hand was raised she summoned a Tidal Wave out of thin air!
The wave rushed on and surged ferociously right onto Thresh’s path.
Thresh had transformed into a ghastly creature and had been in mid-air when the wave hit. It caught Thresh by surprise and knocked him up into the air in the middle of his path, which stopped him promptly before he could make the full distance, as his skill had been interrupted.
“Nice!” Bai Feng complimented.
The students behind him were astonished, watching the play.
The situation had been rather dire just now. If Thresh had reached Draven, he could have controlled the latter without having to use any mobility skills for a long period, only needing to use his ultimate and E-skill, Flay.
Judging by Caitlyn’s current damage output, Draven would unquestionably be killed if he was trapped. The fragile Nami would not have had much chance to survive too. This might have been another double kill for Caitlyn.
Bond’s Nami had used her ulti to deliberately intercept Thresh’s rush. He had dissolved the incoming crisis with a clean, poised move. An average player would never have done that.
***
‘Woah, not bad!’ Yu Luocheng was dazed as well after his assault was halted abruptly.
‘Not many people know that Nami’s ulti, Tidal Wave, can be used to stop Thresh’s second cast. This player is pretty experienced!’
Just as Yu Luocheng hesitated as to whether they should continue the fight, a glowing blue armor suddenly appeared on Draven, indicating that someone was about to arrive from the other side of the map!
It was Shen!
‘This fellow has used his ultimate to come to their rescue.’
Shen was a very much despised champion as his ultimate allowed him to instantly travel to his teammate.
When you were winning a 2 vs 2 skirmish, the arrival of a Shen would instantly put off your desire to fight. Furthermore, now you had to pray that they wouldn’t reverse the stance instead.
James’s Draven reacted instantly. Seeing that their reinforcement was arriving, he charged toward Yu Luocheng’s Thresh courageously.
They were going for the counter-attack!
Yu Luocheng had just charged out from the side, meaning that his positioning was a little overshot.
If he was taunted by the landing Shen, Yu Luocheng’s Thresh would have no way to escape.
***
Since it was rare to come across such a powerful ADC teammate, Yu Luocheng could not bear himself giving a mediocre performance.
He pressed on the G key without delay.
Against the arriving Shen, and against three enemies, Yu Luocheng did not press the V key. Instead, he sent the G key to Caitlyn.
“V” stands for retreat, beware.
While “G” stands for attack, assault.
Yu Luocheng wanted to fight!
