Lin Dong and Da Luo couldn’t help but laugh when they saw that their opponent had banned Yu Luocheng’s Graves that had caused such a fuss in the previous match.

You banned Graves?

Their efforts were futile, Yu Luocheng could definitely use way more ADCs than Bai Feng.

Have you ever seen an assassin build Ezreal?

Have you ever seen a Vayne that can break your back line?

It wouldn’t matter even if they were to ban all the ADCs.

Yu Luocheng’s Support was so godlike that if you let him play Support, he will show you the meaning of an inescapable death!

***

“Are you still going up against Bai Feng in this round?” asked Lin Dong.

Yu Luocheng shook his head.

“We can’t use the same tactics or normal tactics when going against Team Revelation.”

Zhang Aijing’s analysis wasn’t wrong. The overall strength index for Team Revelation’s Jungler was 22 points, second only to Bai Feng’s 24 points.

If you used conventional methods to play, even if Yu Luocheng gained a slight advantage at the bottom lane, it would likely be impossible to change the fact that Team Revelation had strong teamwork and an impressive ability to team fight.

Team Revelation liked to follow the rules and drag the game because they tend to choose late game champions. They wanted Bai Feng to have more time to farm, everyone knew that ADCs needed time to develop.

In this case, hitting them with conventional methods would mean playing right into their slow pace, and the chance of losing was very high.

They needed to break their pace, mindlessly push turrets, speed up their pace like crazy, and stop Bai Feng from farming, to the point where he wouldn’t be able to build his items!

Yu Luocheng knew very well how strong Bai Feng was.

Let him farm for just a few minutes and he could add on a little to his team’s win rate.

The reason Bai Feng lost the first two rounds was because Team Skycrown had completely messed up his farming pace. He had also made the mistake of underestimating Yu Luocheng’s capabilities.

But Yu Luocheng didn’t think himself capable enough to be able to gain an advantage over Bai Feng once he got serious.

He was an ADC with an overall index of close to 24 points, in no way was he an inferior player.

Yu Luocheng would definitely not underestimate any of his opponents!

He was well aware that Team Revelation would be cautious in the third game, and it would be difficult to use unique tactics again.

Without the advantage of a head start, Yu Luocheng was not arrogant enough to say that he could take Bai Feng head on.

At this point, the most he could do was not be completely overwhelmed by Bai Feng.

But that didn’t change the fact that the opponent’s Jungler had an advantage in overall strength. Plus, they had a better understanding of tactics in late game team fights.

“We’ll use the Chaos Suppression tactic,” said Yu Luocheng.

“Should we be using that tactic so early? We were saving it for Team Sky,” said Da Luo, surprised.

“The only way we can know it’s weaknesses is to use it,” replied Yu Luocheng.

***

Both sides have decided on their lineups.

This time, Bai Feng chose his ADC without hesitation: the wind-like champion, Ezreal!

Ezreal was Bai Feng’s most well-known champion. Picking Ezreal showed that Bai Feng had entered his most serious mode.

The others had also finalized their champion picks. Zhou Yan had chosen Aatrox, a champion that had come out not too long ago. The pick rate for him within the country was not very high. Overseas, Aatrox was very strong and it was a must to ban him.

Top, Da Luo had chosen the champion that he was best at—The Blind Monk, Lee Sin!

A Top Lee Sin was not commonly seen in competitions, causing the crowd to cheer loudly after Da Luo’s selection.

Team Skycrown’s tactics were very unique, breaking through the usual strategies of Teleport Ganking, push and pull, and even ulti tactics. Team Revelation was slightly worried as they wondered what was so special about Team Skycrown’s champion selections.

Damn, it wouldn’t be something disgusting like the tactic they used in the first game right?

***

Following that, Lin Dong at Mid chose Gragas.

Mid Gragas was becoming more popular recently, and this was mainly because of the godlike plays made by the players in the Korean server. This champion had repositioning skills, burst damage, CC, and a strong ulti that could displace everyone in a second.

There were also quite a few players who used Gragas within the country, but there were not many who were skilled at using that champion.

“Don’t you think there’s something weird with Team Skycrown’s lineup?” asked Hao Yue. Looking at the unconventional lineup made his heart somewhat unsettled.

If it wasn’t for that first game that made him nauseated, the normally confident Hao Yu wouldn’t feel this unsettled.

Bai Feng shook his head, he also felt that Team Skycrown’s lineup had some untold secret. But when he delved more into it, it would seem that it wasn’t any different than a normal lineup either.

“Aiyo, the coach from Team Skycrown is being naughty again! Is this a deliberate tease for everyone or are you really going to pick this champion?”

Miracle barely held back from slapping a hand to his head.

“Coach, do you really want to use this champion? Even though this champion’s pick rate in competitions is high, the win rate for this champion isn’t that high.”

Hearing the commentators’ shocking comments, the audience went into an uproar as they saw the screen for themselves.

The champion that Yu Luocheng picked was very familiar. You can say that as long you have played League of Legends before, you definitely would have used her.

That’s right, she is the elder sister who held our hands as we grew up in the game’s tutorial—The Frost Archer, Ashe!

Ashe was generally a champion that would appear in normal matchups below level ten as many who were new to the game world would start with Ashe as their first champion.

But as their level increased, so did the resistance they met as well as the amount of jeers from their teammates. And so, a champion that was so loved would then slowly be added to the blacklist.

“Don’t use Ashe!”

“F*ck, why would you pick her?”

“Ashe? I’m turning it off.”

In the usual matchmake and ranked games, you would never see your teammates using this tone to express their disdain for the Frost Archer.

Was Ashe really so frustrating? Was she really that bad?

Of course not.

As everyone knows, Lee Sin was not suitable for players below Platinum, and when using Anivia, you were either great or terrible. So what about Ashe?

Why were so many people prejudiced and contemptuous towards the Frost Archer?

It was because this champion would never be able to be fully utilized, no matter how high of a level you were at!

You could say that Riot Games had already set down this precedence from the beginning.

Although Ashe was placed as the rookie champion in the tutorials, the fact of the matter was that no one was arrogant enough to say that Ashe was an easy champion to use. Not even the godlike players who had moved on to other champions could say that they were able to easily use Ashe!

This was a fact, a fact that would become more profound the higher your rank and levels increased.

And here Yu Luocheng was, pressing on the lock in for Ashe. What Bai Feng, the strongest ADC in the nation, felt was not scorn and disdain like most people were expressing…

You dare to pick Ashe, where the f*ck does your confidence come from?

Bai Feng would never be afraid of any ADC who chose Ashe, because he could easily destroy this ADC who didn’t have any repositioning skills or any burst damage!

But what if the person using Ashe was also the partner of Shallow Dream, the coach of Team Skycrown?

He wouldn’t pick Ashe if he didn’t have a thorough understanding of the Frost Archer.

League of Legends has always been a game, right from the start of the ban phase, to when the actual game bagan.

To be honest, Bai Feng really didn’t understand where the coach of Team Skycrown got his confidence from. It was really making him feel unsettled! Because from the beginning, Bai Feng had not been able to gain any advantage over him.

“He really chose Ashe… I feel that this coach has come out just to deliberately poke at our country’s number one ADC, Bai Feng,” said Miracle.

“We’re entering the loading screen now, so let’s describe the lineup.”

“For Team Skycrown, Top is Lee Sin, Jungler is Aatrox, Mid is Gragas, Support is Thresh, and their ADC is Ashe.”

“For Team Revelation’s side, Top is someone you rarely see in competitions—Darius. Jungler is Zac, Mid is Orianna, Support is Zyra, and their ADC is Ezreal.”

“In terms of lineup, Team Revelation is sticking to their usual team fight composition tactics. I wonder if anyone has realized, that Team Revelation’s line up has quite terrifying CC. With Orianna’s protection from her ball and activating her ulti to pull her opponents inwards, adding on Darius coming in to pull in another time, and Zyra’s follow up with her root and ulti…”

“As long as Zac completes a beautiful jump into the middle of the enemies, then only eradication awaits Team Skycrown!”

“In contrast to that, Team Skycrown only has Aatrox’s small range of CC and Ashe’s ulti. It’s a very unstable CC and you can see that once the team fight starts, Team Skycrown will definitely be miles away in terms of strength!”

Miracle had roughly analyzed Team Revelation’s game plan. The routine in their mind was exactly as Miracle had described: using Zac as their initiate and immediately following up with all the skills they had. Whether their enemy was paper or tanky, being immobilized was a sure way to die!

“Let’s all wish Team Skycrown good luck. Alright, the voting results have come in…uwah, this is hard to believe!” exclaimed Qi Qiao as she covered her gaping mouth.

“Team Skycrown’s support votes have increased to fifty-six percent!”

Fifty-six percent of the votes!

Just an hour before this, they only received four percent of the votes, which was a testament to how unpopular Team Skycrown was compared to Team Revelation. It really was such a pathetic score!

But after the first two matches, Team Skycrown had suddenly flipped the tables and got more than fifty percent of the votes on their side!

“I say, Team Revelation’s supporters, you guys have no loyalty. How can you change sides so quickly? Those who fall in the fifty-six percent, you guys are so fickle, I’m disappointed in you!”

“Miracle, which side do you support?” asked Qi Qiao after his rant.

“Oh, I almost forgot. Team Skycrown had fifty-five percent of the votes just now, but after I cast my vote it increased to fifty-six percent!”

“You still dare to be disappointed in others when you yourself have done the same!” Qi Qiao scolded him.

Miracle laughed awkwardly.

It was inevitable. Team Skycrown had already won two matches using their own f*cking capabilities, how could you not support that?
