“Yay, yay! They won another round! That’s awesome!”
It’s too bad the Li Meiqi didn’t have the right equipment with her. If she could, she would have changed clothes with just a twirl, transforming into a sexy cheerleader in a mini skirt who was cheering loudly for Team Skycrown.
How was Team Skycrown weaker than the other teams?
The top four strongest teams of the LPL? Pfft, they were all just stepping stones for Team Skycrown!
Not to mention, Yu Luocheng was just too awesome. The way he used Graves without logic left Bai Feng at a complete loss, without any possible way of countering him.
Li Meiqi hated people like Bai Feng, so watching Yu Luocheng’s Graves defeat him made her heart burst with happiness.
Of course, as happy as she was, nothing could compare to the satisfaction of seeing the look on Liang Gui’s face.
Team Skycrown won two consecutive rounds!
And in this round, Team Skycrown had definitely defeated Team Revelation in terms of skills. Now let’s see who else dares to say that they won out of luck!
Liang Gui had a horrible expression on his face.
What the f*ck just happened?
Team Skycrown had to be cheating, otherwise it would be impossible for a newbie team to defeat Team Revelation in not just one, but two rounds!
Also, what was wrong with Team Revelation today? They were playing worse than dog shit!
It may be a trivial matter for you to fight like sh*t, but I have ten thousand yuan on the line here!
Thirty minutes ago, Liang Gui thought that he would be winning ten thousand yuan with ease. But now he felt like the ten thousand yuan was flying further and further away from him.
“Bro, don’t make a fool out of me, Team Skycrown has already won two games! Team Revelation needs to fight three rounds!” said Liang Gui to Guan Langjie who stood beside him.
Guan Langjie furrowed his brows.
What kind of drugs was Team Skycrown on to be doing so well? He remembered them from the LPL pre-season. Back then, their strength was that of a second-tier team at best, they were far from being a first-tier team.
But in just two to three months, they actually managed to grow stronger to the point that they could render Team Revelation helpless. Could it be that they had an expert guiding them?
It is important for a team to have an excellent coach and an analyst. The two games played by Team Skycrown were strategic and intelligent. They were eye-opening games to those watching, in which Team Revelation had always been playing more defensively, using four champions to protect one.
In short, Team Revelation was strong because they had Bai Feng as their unbeatable ADC as well as a Jungler who could pace and carry the rhythm of the team.
But it was exactly because all their tactics were centered around their ADC, that it was hard to come up with new game plays. Their tactics usually revolved around team fights, late game plays, and protecting the ADC while he farms and grows.
Whereas in the two games they played against Team Skycrown, the only thing Team Skycrown focused on was pushing turret, pushing turret, and just pure mindless pushing turret!
“Say something man,” snapped Liang Gui, his tone clearly unhappy.
It was because he had believed in Guan Langjie’s words that he dared to place the bet with Li Meiqi. If he really lost…
“Team Revelation isn’t that simple. It’s not impossible for them to have to play three rounds,” said Guan Langjie calmly.
But to be honest, Guan Lanjie himself felt unsettled that Team Revelation had already lost two rounds.
And he could clearly see that Team Skycrown’s coach was strong. He was completely ignoring Bai Feng’s existence while playing, and the outcome of the matches were impossible to predict.
“Why, are you scared?” said Li Mei as she watched Liang Gui fidget.
She snickered and her laughter sounded like a fox, a fox that was just about to catch its prey.
Liang Gui’s eyes flashed with restrained anger, but in his heart he had already vented his anger on the pretty vixen in front of him.
Li Meiqi was not scared of some sex-obsessed idiot. Besides pretending to be an arrogant asshole, he didn’t have the guts to do anything to her anyway!
‘You just need one more win, one more win and you can turn everything around!’ Li Meiqi prayed in her heart, looking at the five members of Team Skycrown on stage.
She liked the team, they were all simple people.
Each one of them had nothing to their name, but they were more ambitious and stronger than those white collar workers who had professional titles or college degrees.
Their team was newly formed but they were more hardworking than anybody.
During Chinese New Year, while others were celebrating, they were eating frozen dumplings while studying various foreign matches.
While other professional players had comfortable apartments to live in and people to manage their daily lives, Team Skycrown was spending their days in a room that smelled of mold when it rained…
Anyone else would feel itchy and uncomfortable after staying just a few days in that room, but they had persevered through it all, staying on even when their grant was delayed. They had now been living there for half a year!
Li Meiqi wasn’t pitying Team Skycrown, but she was in fact thinking that they had endured such a hard life for half a year, all to get into the LPL.
What could stop them from succeeding? The LPL players who always appeared on the Internet? The veteran teams with patience and aggressiveness? Or the clubs who only knew how to use deceit and trickery to maximize their profits while forgetting the essence of E-sports?
Team Skycrown craved victory more than anything and Li Meiqi believed with all her heart that they would win!
You could say that their first win was because they had used an unconventional tactic. But even from that, you could already see how unique Team Skycrown was.
You could also say that their second win was due to a combination of luck during the early team fight and Bai Feng playing badly. But Yu Luocheng had demonstrated how great he was on Graves.
If they won the third match, they would have defeated Team Revelation with a score of 3:0!
Everyone would then shut up, having no choice but to applaud this wild card of a team who won against one of the top four teams, and recognize them as a skillful team who could beat Team Revelation three to zero.
Come, there’s no need to hold back now. You’ve endured everything for half a year, all for the sake of appearing on this LPL stage. Now you’ve won two rounds, with a current score of two to zero against Team Revelation.
So why not go all the way and win three to zero?
Team Skycrown must win!
***
“This is hard to believe, two to zero, is this Team Skycrown’s comeback?”
“What’s wrong with Team Revelation today? Why do they seem like they’re unwell? Could it be that against a new team, they really have their hands tied?”
“No, I think that Team Skycrown’s strength has exceeded any of our expectations. This team became a wild card during the pre-season, and in just a couple of months, they have become even stronger! Even a team from the top four is hard pressed to win against them!” said Qi Qiao.
This was not the first time Qi Qiao had contact with Team Skycrown. She found herself liking this team which was quiet outside of competitions, but entertaining and outstanding during matches.
There was no media coverage on them and no fancy decorations, instead they had a lot of negative news surrounding them.
But when they were being broadcast, they never showed anything but focus. It was as though they didn’t care that they didn’t have an audience, or even if the audience was cheering on their opponents.
They were only focused on performing well for themselves. They fully immersed themselves in the competition, using their strength and skills to show everyone how much they thirsted for victory!
Qi Qiao felt that their two victories were not a coincidence.
They would definitely win again, and they would completely dominate one of the top four teams in the LPL—Team Revelation!

“So exhilarating. At the beginning of the game, I was ribbing Team Skycrown. And even though my words have come back to bite me countless times during these matches, I don’t feel embarrassed at all. This team has performed beyond our expectations and made me really admire them! So now, can they really beat Team Revelation? Truth be told, I’m very excited for this!”
Miracle had subconsciously started to side with Team Skycrown as he exclaimed his thoughts for the crowd to hear.
A newly formed team that had only been around for half a year winning against Team Revelation who had been in the limelight for two years… wasn’t this such an exciting match?
The third match was about to begin, and Miracle was sure that the votes of support for Team Skycrown would definitely not be like the previous rounds with only four or twenty percent. There were probably a lot of people who just like him, didn’t like Team Skycrown at first, but had now begun to admire them!
So for the next match, how many votes would Team Skycrown get?
Would it be up to forty percent? Or perhaps even more astonishingly, up to fifty percent?

“Welcome back everyone, this is the stage where the LPL Summer Season is being carried out. I’m Miracle, your host for today. Let me recap what has been happening so far!”
Seeing a serious Miracle was a rare occasion and you could see that he was really passionate about what he was doing.
“Sitting on the left side of the stage is our veteran Team Revelation, they have been appearing frequently on our stages throughout the past two years. They are without a doubt one of the strongest teams!”
“Seated to the right is our wild card for this year—Team Skycrown! This team has only been formed for half a year and they disappeared for a while after their beautiful performance during the pre-season. They have now reappeared here at our LPL Summer Season, beating team Stardust and even giving our wonderful Team Revelation a run for their money!”
“Two to zero, everyone! The score is now two against zero! For those of you who have just tuned in…oh, for those who have just turned on the computer, don’t give us a look of ‘ah, i knew it’. Please open both your eyes and look at the score properly, it’s not Team Revelation who has won the two points, but the newly formed Team Skycrown!”
“Will it be the new team who will completely dominate our veteran LPL team? Or will Team Revelation turn the tables and counter attack in the remaining matches? Everybody, please ready your right hand… oh wait, edit your text messages and send it in for the team that you want to support.”
Li Meiqi clenched her hands together, anticipating the results.
How many votes would Team Skycrown get this time?
They only had four percent in the first round!
What about now?
***
They have entered the ban phase.
Team Revelation was now taking Team Skycrown very seriously.
“Oh…oh!!”
“Team Revelation has banned an ADC!”
“We all know that Team Revelation has never banned an ADC because the strongest ADC in the country is in their team. Banning an ADC would mean cutting down on the pool they can choose from. But this time, Team Revelation has banned Graves, one of Bai Feng’s frequently used champions!”
“Has the masterful Graves from Team Skycrown’s coach really discouraged Team Revelation this much?!”
