Chapter 254 - The Fallen Bottom Lane

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wu Sen turned to Xiao Bei. Xiao Bei had made a mistake that was not supposed to happen. If he hadn’t, the worst that could have happened was that he would have traded kills with Siyong’s Tristana, and not have gotten killed that easily.

Xiao Bei was visibly confused, a hint of uncertainty and nervousness also mixed in the confusion. Wu Sen glanced at Xiao Bei’s hands.

His hands appeared to be shaking mildly. This sign of nervousness was very normal before a match, but it was abnormal when they were already in the middle of a game. The situation seemed dire.

“Are you okay?” Wu Sen asked.

Xiao Bei gave him a silent nod.

…

After respawning back into the arena, the drop in his economy was apparent.

Wu Sen estimated that Lulu would rotate to put down a ward, and suddenly, a Death Sentence chain was shot out!

With inhuman precision, the chain caught a hold of Lulu, and she was pulled forcefully toward Thresh.

“A show of immense experience, Lulu’s positioning was completely predicted! There is still some distance between Caitlyn and Lulu, it looks like Lulu is in trouble!”

“Yes, although Team Skycrown’s Caitlyn is a bit slow, she still manages to attack!”

“Lulu is extremely restricted right now because her Flash was used already. The situation looks really bad for her right now! All Caitlyn needs to do is just attack and she will get a kill…”

“Huh? What’s going on? Why did she stop in the middle of the attack? A malfunction?”

On the screen, Caitlyn had stopped just before attacking and just stood there. Then, she continued walking forward.

At this instant, Tristana used her E-skill and jumped over, the cannon in her arms making a buzzing sound!

Bang!

A large cannonball hit Caitlyn right in the middle of her torso. Caitlyn wasn’t able to attack, but instead, she got propelled as far as the eye could see.

“What a beautiful execution by Fudan University team’s Siyong! With the right timing, his ulti has saved Lulu from certain death.” Qi Qiao exclaimed.

“This Caitlyn obviously has terrible basics, the player messed up right when it mattered the most,” Tinghua said quietly.

Even an amateur could tell from a glance that Xiao Bei had made a very grave mistake. He should have been able to get the kill, but he failed just because he had stopped short.

As a professional player, these kinds of newbie mistakes should never occur.

Just because of one minor mistake, it rendered a chance to make a comeback useless, it really was too bad…

Eh, it seemed as though that was not the case. Fudan University’s Jungler had retreated!

By the river, a burly figure holding a glaive appeared out of nowhere!

With his four magnificent hooves, he rode through the arena elegantly with the wind rushing past him.

Hecarim’s speed in the game was one of the best there is. Many times, you would not be able to outrun this champion even if you saw him!

Caitlyn and Thresh had gone too deep, and while they were retreating, Hecarim ran Caitlyn straight into the wall! As skills were being thrown out, Xiao Bei’s hit points decreased rapidly.

Suddenly, Tristana took off into the sky and landed right on Caitlyn!

Tristana’s E-skill’s slow effect from the blast was really horrifying, a 60% slow could basically stop an enemy in their tracks.

When Wu Sen saw that Xiao Bei had been slowed and restricted, he calmly retreated further back, and after a certain distance, he immediately sent a lantern toward Xiao Bei!

“Xiao Bei, click it!” seeing as Xiao Bei had very low health, he hastily shouted.

“The placement of this lantern is perfect; Caitlyn will not be in any danger,” Qi Qiao said.

“Oh my God!” Qi Qiao shouted suddenly.

Everyone could not believe what they were seeing, their eyes fixated on the screen.

A few seconds ago, Fudan University team’s captain, Siyong, had made an unpredictable action. Just before Caitlyn could reach the lantern, his Tristana had Flashed right in front of her!

Tristana had Flashed right onto Thresh’s lantern, and by using her body to step on the lantern, she completely denied Caitlyn the chance to escape!

“I…I am completely and utterly speechless about Siyong’s unpredicted actions!!!”

“Everyone should know that the lantern can be used, but in the same way, Thresh’s lantern can also be stepped on. As long as you move onto the lantern, you will block it with your champion and prevent the enemy from using the lantern!!”

“An extremely beautiful execution for Siyong, he used Flash to change his position to immediately step on the lantern. Caitlyn has no way to escape now!”

A wave of cheers immediately came from the audience, such a wonderful display of talent was not expected at all.

He indeed deserved to be Fudan University team’s captain. Earlier, he had obtained a kill, and right now, a save and also a Flash leading to a kill. This immediately showcased to everyone the absurdity of the power of Fudan University team’s ADC!

If Caitlyn was unable to use the lantern, death was imminent.

A scream was heard. Not even a minute had passed and Xiao Bei’s Caitlyn had died yet again!

By being behind in level, creep kills, and also champion kills, after the kill was obtained by Tristana, Team Skycrown’s bottom lane was already as good as destroyed!

…

“The skill gap of both teams’ ADC is huge! Letting a kid handle such an important position, I really don’t know what Team Skycrown is thinking.”

“I agree, you can already see that Fudan University team’s Siyong’s skill level is much higher than Team Skycrown’s ADC.”

“The situation looks bleak for Team Skycrown. Tristana will already be very hard to deal with in the late game, if she gets all the farm in the early game, she will literally be unstoppable!”

The discussion backstage was no less than the audience’s either. There were employees, professional players, coaches, and analysts. Luocheng unintentionally furrowed his eyebrows once he got wind of their words.

“What is wrong with Xiao Bei…” Luocheng muttered to himself.

Xiao Bei’s controls were abnormal, he shouldn’t have made that mistake.

Also, the timing of Xiao Bei’s E-skill, 90 Caliber Net, was off. If he really was the one playing, there would be no reason that he would be killed by the enemy.

Luocheng had a heavy expression on his face. The destruction of the bottom lane could influence the whole game, especially when the enemy bottom laner was an extremely capable person. Siyong had strong skill and also team fighting capabilities. Team Skycrown’s chances of reclaiming initiative at the bottom lane was almost zero.

As expected, Fudan University was exploiting the advantage at the bottom lane to play aggressively. After destroying the tower, they could kill the dragon. At this moment, the difference between both team’s economy exceeded 2000 gold.

…

“Sir Blood Eagle, what do you think of this match?” As the game was in its mid stages, Qi Qiao inquired.

“Team Skycrown has already lost this match.” Tinghua said.

“How can you be so sure?” Qi Qiao asked curiously.

“Caitlyn only shines in the late game, but by looking at the items obtained by her, you could tell that even in the late stages of the game, she has very low potential to do much damage.”

“There is also Tristana with Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer, her attack range increases as her level rises plus her attack speed skill was also raised. If she buys a lifesteal item, she can also tank the damage from jungle creeps. You could say that in short, Team Skycrown has lost.”

“That’s right, the difference of items between the ADC’s are so big, coupled with a 4v1 item build, it is basically impossible to kill Tristana! Not only can you not kill her easily, Team Skycrown’s frontline will be demolished!”

“I am a little disappointed, it looks like this is all Team Skycrown has to offer. With these mediocre standards, our Team Sky can GG them in 17 minutes.” Tinghua said bluntly.

“Erm…Team Skycrown is a newly formed team, of course their skills cannot be compared to Team Sky.”

…

After listening to what Tinghua had said, Yang Ying and Xiao Jia were both extremely agitated backstage.

“This guy is too arrogant, what do you mean end Team Skycrown in 17 minutes? He’s talking as if they can really do it. When we enter the LPL, we’ll show them what we’re made of!” Meiqi said angrily.

“Yeah, they look down on us too much!” Yang Ying nodded in agreement.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Well, he isn’t lying.” Aijing’s voice cut them off abruptly.

“Isn’t that a lie?”

Aijing continued, “The skills of all of the members of Team Sky are at least around 7 points, which means that during laning, Team Skycrown would literally be suppressed in all lanes.”

“Also, the most horrifying player of Team Sky is their Jungler. A hunter with a keen sense of smell and at the same time, bloodthirsty and ruthless in attacking. If you’re talking about an advantage in laning, he can turn the advantage into a win in just 10 minutes. The next 7 minutes would be to push one lane as a team, that time is definitely enough.”

Aijing said all of that with such a straight face, even the media reporters were stunned.

That couldn’t be right, if Team Skycrown met Team Sky in a match and lost within 17 minutes, how big was the skill gap?

Unless the teams within LPL were all that strong?

“Fudan University team’s bottom lane lineup went against Team Sky’s team in a 2v2 before. Altogether, it was 5 matches, and in all 5 matches, they were slaughtered by Team Sky…” Aijing said, and once again, everyone was shaken by her comments.

Yang Ying, Xiao Jia, and Meiqi were all left with their jaws hanging and at a complete loss for words!

Five rounds of 2v2 and they had been slaughtered in every round. Knowing that they were in Shanghai University, it looked as though the lineup against Fudan University was practically invincible.

Team Skycrown’s bottom lane couldn’t even win against the Fudan University team, how could they possibly beat Team Sky?

The audience didn’t even want to think about the outcome.

While they hadn’t experienced it for themselves, they really didn’t think that there would be that much difference between professional teams!
